Ezra Levant exposes U.A. Smotala, a pro-Hamas activist in Cambridge, Ontario, who mocks Canadian values—free speech, democracy—and glorifies Nazi ideology while evading consequences despite threats against Jews and Christians. Levant ties this to Trudeau’s mass immigration policies, claiming they’ve fueled societal crises like housing and healthcare while allowing extremists to thrive, contrasting it with Trump’s China strategy, including tariffs and tech crackdowns on DJI drones. He warns Canada’s "post-national" drift risks identity collapse, suggesting even 1 million Canadians might flee if Trump’s incentives emerge, framing Trudeau’s leadership as an erosion of national cohesion.

And I really want you to see the video because you've got to see the face of the guy who's saying it.
And you got to see all his Instagram pics too.
I think he's tantamount to a terrorist and he's roaming around the streets of Canada.
Frankly, I'm a little scared.
I'm not just saying that for a fact.
This guy is scary.
And I want you to see it.

Tonight, why is a man named U.A. Smotala in Canada and on our streets?
Terrorists Filming Their Own Attacks00:03:28
It's December 19th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you censorious thug.
The thing about the October 7th, 2023 terrorist attack on southern Israel that was so shocking is that the terrorists themselves filmed it all.
They live streamed it.
They wanted the world to see their horrific torture and murder.
They bragged about it.
There were thousands of different images.
They basically took pictures of their massacre.
It was like the Holocaust imagery from the 1940s had been colorized and come alive.
It was absolutely shocking.
And that's the age we live in.
The social media and everyone has their own video camera.
What's interesting about that is it allows people to be identified.
And the Israel Defense Forces used some of the selfies, the selfie videos and photos of the terrorists to later track them down and kill them.
Here in Canada, the pro-Hamas street protesters often film themselves.
It's something that their Antifa allies have learned not to do.
You've probably heard the phrase, the black block.
It's not the name of a group.
It's the name of a style or a tactic to dress from head to toe in black.
No distinguishing characteristics.
They love the fact that masks were normalized during COVID.
The idea of the black block tactic is everyone looks the same.
There's no one that's identifiable.
You can't, and they often have black umbrellas too to hide cameras.
Antifa does not want to be identified.
Hamas, some of them follow the Antifa ways.
Some of them wear masks to terrorize and to be anonymous, but many of them are as brazen and braggarts as the terrorists on October 7th, 2023.
And so it is that in this age of selfies and ubiquitous cell phone video, that there are some people online who have made a kind of hobby out of tracking down who these Hamas protesters are.
And one of them is someone who I don't know his or her real name, but they go by Leviathan online.
And what's interesting is whoever this person, or frankly, could be a group of people are, they look at open source, publicly available social media photos and try and match who's who and maybe do a reverse image search and say, well, who is this protester in their real life?
Oh, they run this restaurant or they work for this government agency.
It's interesting that one of the most astonishing cases was an absolute Nazi, literally giving the Nazi salute, was working in a Jewish hospital in a kosher restaurant.
But a complete Nazi Hamas supporter.
Just incredible.
So Leviathan tracks people down and not tracks them down physically, but just online finds out who they are.
And I want to show you a public rant by one such pro-Hamas activist who this is not a private video.
This was filmed and uploaded by this pro-Hamas activist himself.
Fascist Hate Speech00:14:44
Now, I want to warn you, there is an enormous amount of profanity here.
The F word is said probably a dozen times.
So if you don't want to hear that, you're going to want to skip ahead or turn the volume down.
I'm going to leave it in because I think you have to understand who we're dealing with here.
So without further ado, let me show you a video filmed by UA Smotala, who lives in Cambridge, Ontario.
Take a look and listen.
I'm only talking to those motherfuckers that have a problem with pro-Palestine.
So what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
When are you going to kill us all?
When are you going to silence us all?
Put us out of our misery.
Because we're going to come after you.
You know that?
We're coming.
I don't give a fuck what you say.
We're coming.
You won't be able to handle this.
There's no fucking bombs.
There's not enough bombs to kill all of us.
You better do it because we're going to get you for all those dead babies, you fucking pieces of shit.
Fuck you.
Fuck your little white race, you motherfucker.
Fuck Christmas.
This is not your fucking land.
You should not be anywhere else.
But fuck you, motherfucker.
Fuck your country.
Fuck your race.
Fuck your culture.
Fuck Christmas.
Because the master race says so.
You keep killing babies, we're going to get you, motherfuckers.
Fuck you and your rights.
Fuck you and your free speech.
Fuck you and your free thoughts.
Your free conscience.
All that fucking freedom bullshit.
We're going to get you.
Well, I don't think I need to summarize, but I will.
He threatens to kill Christian white people and Jews, sure.
Absolutely racist, yet.
Directed to those who would question free Palestine.
So he says, F free speech.
You will be killed.
We are coming.
You won't be able to handle all of this.
There's not enough bombs to kill all of us, he says.
So he's both the victim and the threatener in his own mind.
You better do it because we are going to get you for all those dead babies, you effing pieces of SHIT.
F you.
F your little white race.
And I'm not even going to say all this profanity.
F your country, F your race, F your culture, and F Christmas.
Do you think that they only stop their rage at the Jews?
Do you remember why the Crusades were started?
It was the attempt for the Christian faith to retake Jerusalem.
Yeah, the Jews were in the way of the Islamists, but you hear it right here by Uez Mal.
I can't even say his name.
He hates Christians even more than he hates Jews.
And weirdly, he appropriates Hitler's phrase of the master race.
He calls himself the master race.
It's sort of clear to me he's been reading up on Hitler as a fanboy.
He says, we're going to get you.
F you and your rights.
F you and your free speech.
F you and your free.
It's like he's read our Constitution.
F you and your free conscience.
All that effing freedom BS.
We're going to get you.
And he was ranting.
I mean, it was spit-flecked, wasn't it?
UAS Motala is his name.
According to Leviathan, he's the owner of AIMCAN Productions, a videography company based out of Cambridge, Ontario.
My research here comes entirely from Leviathan.
He says he provides drone production and video editing.
And he's a proud graduate of Humber College.
And he used to work at Rogers TV as a production assistant.
That's just his latest rant.
But on multiple times, he has gone online with similar messages, including on Remembrance Day when he said F November 11th.
That's what he thinks about veterans who fought for Canada and who died for Canada.
He said F9-11, which he obviously treats as a happy day.
And obviously he said F October 7th.
That's the Hamas attack on southern Israel.
I mean, he's just out of control on social media.
He says the establishment, the powers, the elites must be destroyed.
Whatever it is this is needs to die.
He said the demons need to be stopped by force.
By demons, he means Jews and Christians too.
The world needs an all-out war.
And then he weirdly says this is our country.
He's talking about Canada.
And just to be clear, I mean, sometimes people say, oh, he's only against Zionists.
Not this guy.
He explicitly says Jews.
He explicitly talks about Christians as if he needed any clarification.
I just want to show you that clip one more time now that I've gone through and sort of parsed it.
And as I talk, we'll show more images that Leviathan has captured because, of course, that video is very dramatic.
But he says even crazier things in still images here, just for a second, and I hate to do it to you, but I just want you to see, this guy is still at large, what he is saying about taking back what he regards as his country by force, F Christmas, F 9-11, F November 11.
Take a look.
I'm only talking to those motherfuckers that have a problem with pro-Palestine.
So what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
When are you going to kill us all?
When are you going to silence us all?
Put us out of our misery.
Because we're going to come after you, you know that?
We're coming.
I don't give a fuck what you say.
We're coming.
You won't be able to handle this.
There's no fucking bombs.
There's not enough bombs to kill all of us.
You better do it because we're going to get you for all those dead babies, you fucking pieces of shit.
Fuck you.
Fuck your little white race, you motherfucker.
Fuck Christmas.
This is not your fucking land.
You should not be anywhere else.
Fuck you, motherfucker.
Fuck your country.
Fuck your race.
Fuck your culture.
Fuck Christmas.
Because the master race says so.
You keep killing babies, we're gonna get you, motherfuckers.
Fuck you and your rights.
Fuck you and your free speech.
Fuck you and your free thoughts.
Your free conscience.
All that fucking freedom bullshit.
We're gonna get you.
Yeah, now I'm for free speech, but this guy is calling for murder, I think.
I know one thing.
If this guy were white, old stock Canadian, and if he were making threats like this about gay people, about Muslim people, you bet the police would come to his house and knock on his door and probably charge him with a hate crime.
I mean, compare what this guy does and says to what the peaceful convoy truckers did in 2022.
And they were arrested and jailed.
And, you know, many of them are still on trial, like our friend Tamara Leach.
Now, this is just what was captured in one instance by Leviathan in English.
You can only imagine what's said in foreign languages like Arabic and Farsi.
And this is the two-tier policing I'm telling you about.
I was at a street corner in broad daylight in my own neighborhood in Toronto, and police arrested me.
You saw the footage because my mere presence, said the cop, would incite a breach of the peace.
Here's a reminder of Officer McDuff telling me what I was doing criminally.
Take a look.
You had a designated area to stay in, and you agreed to stay in it.
I did not.
What are you talking about?
Well, absolutely.
Acting Inspector Ford told me they had a media area for you and you guys stayed in it.
We did not.
We did not.
Well, because it's not up to him to say you have free speech there, but not here.
Well, yeah, because you're inciting this crowd and then it breaches the peace.
Well, your presence is inciting them, and that's exactly what you're trying to do.
No, because you're trying to incite them.
I haven't tried to incite them.
I want you to take a picture of the hate crime that you're up there.
You did it on the other side.
You didn't need to walk over here.
No, I wanted to go out.
Now I'm going to tell you to move over there.
And if you don't cross the road, you'll get arrested for breach of the peace.
So you're refusing to leave?
I'm refusing to leave.
Why?
Because I'm a Jew, I'm a citizen, and I'm your boss.
And I don't leave because you say Jews aren't.
Well, you know what?
In the interest of keeping peace here and public safety, you're under arrest for breach of the peace.
Take them in.
Got it.
So standing there peacefully on a public sidewalk trying to photograph some super gross Hamas reenactment, that was illegal.
And that was enough to arrest me, handcuff me, take me in a police car to jail, and hold me for several hours until I was released.
Just standing there.
But that insane rant calling for murder, calling for violence.
Yeah, no problem.
You know why?
Because Justin Trudeau has let in millions of people like that.
And that guy, frankly, in the car, it felt like the kind of a video that an ISIS terrorist would record right before he does his nasty work.
In fact, let me play for you one of the clips of the terrorist who went and attacked Parliament Hill.
You might remember the storming of Parliament Hill by an ISIS gunman.
Look at the similarities between these two and their telephone, their cell phone video recordings from their cars.
Remember this?
This is a retaliation for Afghanistan.
And somebody retaliating in the middle of this world, one of our enemies fighting and bombing us and creating a lot of terror in our country.
Thank you for the rest.
It's crazy guys.
I've forgotten God.
You have you met everyone he's running Iran.
We don't go for this.
We are righteous people, believers of God, and believe in his laws and his path to peace be fundamental.
That's my message to all of you.
And this inshallah will not cease till you guys decide to be a peaceful country and stay to your own and stop going to other countries and stop occupying and killing the righteous of us that are trying to bring back religious law in our country.
Thank you.
Yeah, that UAIS fella is like one inch away from.
I mean, he's agitated, he's revved up, he's being extremely radicalized.
I don't know if he's a Canadian-born.
He's got a bit of an accent, but maybe he's just growing up in Hamasa sagas or something.
I suspect that he's an immigrant to Canada, either under Trudeau or perhaps even under Stephen Harper.
I think that we have a crisis in Canada, and we have many crises, and every single one of them is made worse by mass immigration.
Every financial indicator, healthcare waiting lists, the unaffordability of housing and groceries, even traffic.
It's all worse because of mass immigration.
But one thing mass immigration has also brought to our country are hundreds of thousands of people who think just like this little terrorist does.
And the problem with having 100,000 violently oriented men like that is we don't have that many police in this country.
And that's why police were very brave to arrest me, a middle-aged Jew, for being on the public sidewalk because they knew I wasn't going to blow anything up or threaten anyone with murder.
But how many of those U-Was fellas, that's his name, are there amongst the pro-Hamas protesters just ready to go off?
Our police are afraid.
And if they're not afraid, well, our politicians certainly are.
What the hell is that guy even doing in Canada?
Stay with us.
Well, here in Canada, we are obsessed with Canada.
I suppose it's human nature to think of yourself as the center of the universe.
I referred that in terms of Donald Trump, who is accomplishing a tremendous amount of things based out of Mar-a-Lago before he's even inaugurated as the president.
He's conducting diplomacy and economic diplomacy, and he certainly got Canadians in a tizzy with his social media posts about us becoming the 51st state.
But I dare say that he actually has bigger fish to fry rather than poking at Canadian inferiority complexes, whether it's ending the Russia-Ukraine war, trying to restart the Abraham Accords in the Middle East, or dealing with America's largest economic and military rival.
I do not believe that is Russia.
I believe that is communist China.
And joining us now to talk about this is an expert who has been tracking this subject for years.
He's the author of the new book, Plan Red, China's Project to Destroy America.
You know him as our favorite expert on the subject, Gordon G. Chang, who joins us now.
Gordon, great to see you again.
Thank you so much, Ezra.
You know, everyone, I guess, is interested in themselves, and so Canadians are focused on our own naval.
But I tell you, Donald Trump, I mean, one of the signature items of his first term was his approach to China.
Give me your thoughts on Trump's approach in his second term towards China.
Trump's Second Term Approach00:02:33
Is there anything different?
Are any of the crises more further developed?
What's the thinking in Mar-a-Lago?
Yeah, that's great.
And we don't exactly know how Trump is going to deal with China because he's been sending out various signals.
Now, during the campaign, he talked about tariffs, a 10% tariff for fentanyl, and tariffs across the board of at least 60%.
And he even mentioned 100% on Chinese goods.
What we've seen recently, though, in the last several weeks, is a very different Donald Trump.
When he was in Paris for the Notre Dame opening, he talked about China can help with Ukraine.
And on Monday, the 16th, when he gave his impromptu press conference at Mar-a-Lago, he said China and the United States can solve all the world's problems.
He called Xi Jinping amazing.
And as we all know, he invited Xi Jinping to the inauguration.
So it looks like he is trying to end up with some sort of grand bargain with China.
But we will only know once he actually enters the Oval Office because there's just so many different signals right now.
Right.
And Trump, I mean, I just reordered.
I was looking for my old copy of The Art of the Deal, and I couldn't find it.
So I ordered that old book again.
I think that a lot of that decodes Trump.
He talks about how he uses dramatic offers just to reset things, how he likes to push the other guy back a bit to knock him off balance.
And I think flattery is part of that.
And I remember in his first term when he was dealing with North Korea's Kim Jong-un, how he would rave about him.
And I think Trump gives and Trump takes away.
So I wouldn't put too much stock in flattery, but I mean, it's something to keep an eye on.
Do you think Xi Jinping is actually going to attend the inauguration?
I don't think so, Ezra.
At the 16th, Trump said, you know, Xi Jinping has not turned down his invitation, which is contrary to what people have been reporting.
But it's pretty unlikely because this would be China's leader who believes that he is now in charge of the world, who thinks the United States is in terminal decline, going to a ceremony honoring a peaceful transfer in a democracy.
Unidentified Objects Flying00:08:34
And of course, the Communist Party has taxed not only the United States, but it taxed the concept of democracy in general.
So it would be a very difficult thing for Xi Jinping to swallow.
Right.
Yeah, I mean, but it's, I think that's Trump given the love.
In Trump's mind, he's praising, he's opening the doors.
I mean, he certainly isn't saying that about Justin Trudeau.
And there was a historical president.
I mean, it used to be that there was sort of an order.
Mexico and Canada typically were the first two visits or meetings that America had, but those days are long gone.
Hey, let me ask you one more thing about China that's been on my mind.
We haven't had this phenomenon in Canada that I'm aware of.
But for the past couple of weeks, there have been reports of all sorts of drone sightings in various states of the U.S. and lots of citizen journalists taking photos of them.
I'm not sure how many were just mistaken for airplanes or how many were even just hoaxes.
But there's a lot of unidentified objects flying around.
This reminds a lot of people of that Chinese spy balloon that came down from Canada over the American heartland.
And it was just so obviously a nefarious major aircraft.
Do we know what these drones across America were?
I know some people have speculated that they're foreign and foreign drones or spy drones.
Do we know anything about that yet?
There are several things that we know.
There's really two sets of drones.
There are the drones that we know about from China and possibly from other foreign powers that have been surveilling U.S. weapons facilities and military bases.
So for instance, the Chinese national has been charged with flying a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base.
And there have been these large drones over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.
So that we have a pretty good handle on because most of those do appear to be from China.
But you talked about another drone phenomenon, which is over my state of New Jersey, where there have been all sorts of objects that have been identified, especially over the last three weeks.
And it's also another 14 states.
This is a mystery.
Now, Trump at his press conference on the 16th said that the federal government knows exactly what's going on, but has not told the American public.
We have heard all of these comments from the Biden administration and from the Pentagon saying that there's nothing unusual.
But that really doesn't fit in with the sightings that we have seen.
So there's a lot of speculation, and much of it is ominous.
And matter of fact, just for example, the Pentagon says that these drones are domestic.
If they're domestic, I'm much more worried because it appears then that there probably is some sort of federal operation over New Jersey, and they could very well be sniffing, which is the military term.
They could be sniffing for radiation.
Wow.
It is terrifying, and it is the kind of thing that the public, if they are not told the answer, I can only imagine speculation and imagination in worst case scenarios.
I don't think the world in general knew how progressed drone warfare was until we saw it in Ukraine, Russia, and we saw it in Gaza.
I mean, it is the pointy edge of the spear in terms of 21st century warfare, especially asymmetrical warfare.
Even naval drones, the drones that Ukraine has used to sink capital ships of the Russian Navy, those drones might cost a few thousand bucks.
They're sinking hundreds of millions of dollars worth of ships.
I think drones, there's an aura of terror about them because they sneak up at you.
They can be micro-targeted individual people.
I don't know.
I think the administration should certainly clear the air.
Do you think Trump is getting a briefing on that?
I'm not sure what briefings he would get as a president-elect.
Do you think he knows, but he's just not being permitted to say?
Yes, because he did say that he was briefed, but of course he can't talk about it.
Can you comment on the drones that are flying around New Jersey's reports?
It seems like the American people have a big discount.
The government knows what is happening.
Look, our military knows where they took off from.
If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage.
They know where it came from and where it went.
And for some reason, they don't want to comment.
And I think they'd be better off saying what it is.
Our military knows and our president knows.
And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.
I can't imagine it's the enemy because if it was the enemy, they'd blast it out.
Even if they were late, they'd blast it.
Something strange is going on.
For some reason, they don't want to tell the people, and they should, because the people are really, I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster.
We want to know the drone.
They're very close to Bedminster.
I think maybe I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster.
I've decided to cancel my trip.
Have you received an intelligence briefing on the drones?
I don't want to comment on that.
Have you been coming to the point?
Do you have any reason to think they're a threat?
Now, there have been classified briefings from members of Congress more recently, this week, and they basically said nothing out of the ordinary.
But that doesn't comport with many of the sightings that we have seen.
So, for instance, there have been a number of people who have said drones have been coming over New Jersey from the Atlantic.
And that would not be consistent with what the Pentagon has been saying.
So, we've got to be extremely concerned.
And then, of course, there's the behavior of some of these drones, which don't, you know, they're the size of cars.
So, these are not hobbyists.
Wow.
And also, they've been operating in ways which we don't have seen from commercial drones.
You know, I'd like to make a tiny confession.
I have a drone, and it's from one of the more popular consumer drone companies called DJI.
But really, every drone you go to buy is made in China.
And more than that, the information from your drone is routed through China and back to you.
So, I mean, the drone that I have, it's a toy for me and the kids.
But everything that that drone sees is, I'm sure, being backed up in some giant mass data center.
I'm sure that the Chinese government has mapped almost every square inch of America, not even with their own spy drones, but with hobbyist users like me, who, you know, I mean, they're not going to get anything interesting from me, but I think that there's a real, and closed-circuit TV companies, a lot of surveillance cameras, same thing, they're routed through China.
I think we're spying on ourselves, and just all that mass data is going to China.
I mean, I'm sure they're getting extra things from these drones, but I'm probably part of the problem myself because I have a little toy drone.
Yeah, with the DJI drone, DJI makes about 70% of the world's drones.
With the DJI drone, you have to opt out of a couple things.
And for instance, they say they send everything to the cloud unless you don't want them to do that.
Okay.
And I don't have a drone, so I haven't seen this.
But there are ways that you can maybe prevent China from getting that information.
But, you know, you're absolutely right.
We're spying on ourselves.
And I didn't know there was that opt-out.
I mean, there's an intense amount of information that's being shared in all the visuals.
Let me ask you one last question, sort of in this vein.
I'm frustrated by the fact that China is a leader in drones, and I don't know if there was a government policy decision behind that.
I think that there was a government policy under Biden to heavily regulate artificial intelligence.
And at least that's what some people in the industry said, including venture capitalists and sort of angel investors like Mark Andrewson.
China's Drone Dominance00:07:09
Donald Trump is taking a different approach.
He appointed David Sachs to be the czar of not just cryptocurrencies, but AI, with a mandate to make them free and American.
I'm worried about Chinese AI in a number of ways.
Do you have any opinion on that?
Do you think, what should America's stance be?
According to the announcement where David Sachs was made the AI and crypto czar, I think Trump really just wanted to bring the industry back to America.
Do you know anything more about that?
Yeah, one thing we know is that China weaponizes everything that it has.
So we should not be helping China develop artificial intelligence, even if it's just for quote-unquote civilian purposes.
Because China has this doctrine of military-civil fusion, which means that everything that a civilian institution has, business, university, whatever, gets pipelined to the Chinese military if they want it.
So we should be not selling them any chips, any technology.
There should be just a full wall between the United States and China.
And we should be enforcing and making sure our partners do the same thing.
Well, I tell you, there's so much to think about.
And I'm excited about your book.
I haven't read it yet, but that sounds like great Christmas reading.
We're talking, of course, with Gordon Chang.
You can follow him on Twitter at Gordon G. Chang.
And his new book, I'm going to pick it up and read it over Christmas.
It's called Plan Red, China's Project to Destroy America.
Well, I hope they fail in that project, and I hope your warnings are being heeded.
Can I ask you a personal question?
You don't have to answer it if it violates a confidence.
Have you been contacted by people within the nascent administration?
Have you been invited to participate?
I mean, my guess is you're not allowed to answer that question if the answer was yes.
But I hope that the incoming administration taps into your expertise and your knowledge.
I mean, it's one thing to be warning from the outside, but it would be very powerful if you had some ears on the inside.
Yeah, the answer to their question is no.
I've made it clear I don't want a job.
You know, I've already got a boss, so I don't need another one.
And, you know, my views, I think that, you know, they know what I think, so I don't think they really need to get in touch.
And, you know, my views might be considered more extreme than the views that they have.
So at this point, the answer is no.
Well, I'm sure they follow you closely.
And who knows, perhaps you'll be called to testify from time to time before Congress on important information.
And I look forward to reading your book and getting the briefing directly.
Gordon, it's great to see you again.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
And I want to encourage people, if you're not following Gordon on Twitter, you're doing it wrong.
He is absolutely the leading source of pro-freedom, pro-Western information about China.
And you can follow him at Gordon G. Chang on Twitter, now known as X. Thanks, my friend.
Great to see you again.
And all the best in the new year.
Thank you so much, Ezra.
All right.
There he is, Gordon Chang.
And I'm going to pick up Plan Red.
That sounds like a great Christmas read.
Stay with us.
More ahead.
Hey, welcome back.
Your letters to me, Bloody Laser, says, it's so nice to have a president once again who is respected on the world stage.
President Trump knows Trudeau is weak.
Oh, he does.
And you know, the more I think about it, Trump has bigger fish to fry than Justin Trudeau.
No one thinks about Justin Trudeau other than Canadians.
I mean, sure, Trudeau is getting a little bit of global attention because he's just sort of melting down.
And Trump is poking at him on Twitter, and the whole world follows that.
But Canada, unfortunately, just isn't in the first rank of nations anymore.
No one really cares what we say or do because Trudeau has diminished us all.
Jay 30 says the value of Canada as a secure nation is a far higher value to the USA than mere U.S. statehood would be.
U.S. statehood for Canada would dissolve the current international border and no tariffs could be imposed.
Of course, we'd evaporate the federal government and enjoy better taxes, but I'm pretty sure our best path forward is to follow Danielle Smith's lead and get serious about keeping our house in order while being good neighbors and friends with the USA and the rest of the world at large.
Oh, I agree.
I mean, the ideal is to have a strong, respected, respectable, happy, peaceful, prosperous, and free Canada.
And I think we had that until about 10 years ago.
I think the reason why Trump's 51st state jabs hit so hard is because we have been so diminished.
And really, what is Canada anyways?
It's almost like the question, what is a woman?
We all know, but the politicians won't answer that.
If you were to ask Trudeau, what is Canada?
I don't know what he would say.
I mean, he might push play on the message track.
I love this country, but what is this country?
He has said himself that it has no essence.
It's a post-national country, he said.
It's really, he's turned it into a hotel for people.
He says we're genociders.
He says we're racist and sexist and should be ashamed of ourselves.
He's trying to destroy our history, even rewriting our anthem.
I don't know if Trudeau could answer the question, what is a woman?
And I don't know if he could answer the question, what is Canada?
So yeah, I would like to get back to the real Canada.
By the way, I don't think Canada would all join the U.S. as one 51st state.
I think that that would be a disaster within Canada.
But it's an interesting thought exercise.
Would Alberta join?
I saw someone on Twitter do something really interesting.
If Donald Trump said, if you're born in Canada and have Canadian citizenship and you have X amount of, I forget what this thought experiment said, X amount of assets or whatever, you're welcome to come and just be an American.
How many would just leave for America?
That's how bad things are in Canada.
I think if Trump said, remember that tweet Trump did where he said, anyone with a billion dollars, you're welcome to come.
We'll clear all the red tape for you.
If Trump said, any Canadian with a million dollars or more and a clean criminal record and a Canadian passport, if you want to come down here, or if you're a medical doctor or this, like if he had, I'm just going with a thought experiment.
Out of 42 million Canadians, of whom 5 million are temporary residents, courtesy of Trudeau, I bet a million people would take Trump up on the deal.
I mean, last year alone, as we showed you in that CBC story, what, 122,000 left in one year alone under current terms?
If Trump said, I'm welcoming the best and brightest, the most entrepreneurial, the most freedom-loving Canadians, come on down.
I bet you one million people would go.
You want to see a brain drain.
That's our show for today.
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.
