Sheila Gunn-Reid and Lise Merle dissect Justin Trudeau’s December 2023 leadership collapse, exposing his nine-year failures—economic crises, scurvy in northern reserves, and $1B+ wasted on national daycare while neglecting defense funding. Freeland’s abrupt removal as Finance Minister, despite her son’s ties to Mark Carney (Trudeau’s replacement), reveals a power grab amid shrinking trust, with Virani deflecting to wrongful convictions while ignoring FinTrack abuses against protesters. Trudeau’s hollow Christmas party rhetoric—prioritizing abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and Indigenous reconciliation over housing, education, or military readiness—contrasts sharply with Poilievre’s direct storytelling, which polls show resonates as Canadians question Ottawa’s competence, with 25% in Alberta/Saskatchewan eyeing U.S. annexation. [Automatically generated summary]
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.
Okay, everybody.
Let me just say off the top, this is a pre-recorded episode of the show.
So if things have changed in the political situation in Canada between the time you're watching this and the time I recorded it, I'm sorry.
That's just the way it is.
I'm dressed for the occasion because it is the new year.
And I think we're celebrating the downfall of the Liberal Party of Canada.
And it was a very bad, a very terrible December for Justin Trudeau.
However, it has been a very bad nine years for Canadians.
So I'm not ready to call it even yet until he's gone.
I thought I would bring on a regular guest of the show, somebody you're all getting to know very well over the last few months, my friend Lise Merle.
She's a Saskatchewan-based broadcaster, independent journalist and author.
And she's got a lot of opinions on a lot of things.
And her and I could talk forever.
And we thought we would just sit down together, watch some clips of Justin Trudeau's bad week, be it Justin Trudeau talking or his ministers talking or the media talking or his strongest opposition, Daniel Smith talking, and just react and take you on the ride with us.
All right.
It's a long show.
Let's get into it.
So joining me now is my good friend, dear friend, best friend, and good friend of Rebel News and the show, Lise Merle.
She is the infamous, famous, actually.
Let's not say infamous.
That implies that you did something sinister or wrong.
She's the get off my lawn mom of Saskatchewan fame.
She's also a broadcaster and an author and I would say a citizen journalist.
And as I said, my best friend.
Lise, thanks for coming on the show.
Let's talk about Justin Trudeau's very bad, terrible, awful week.
I would love to talk about nothing more, if I'm being completely honest, because if there is one man on the face of the planet that deserved to have a terrible, no good, awful bad week, it is that man.
And I mean, it's just been so long incoming that I think that all of us are just delighting in this last little turn of events for the man.
Yeah, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
And what I find odd is that everybody is sort of lionizing Christia Freeland for making this stand against Justin Trudeau.
And I'm like, no, she's just an opportunistic troll.
She was not moved by economic crisis that she oversaw.
She was not moved by homelessness, the fact that Canadians are literally coming down with scurvy in the North because they can't afford fresh food whatsoever.
She's not moved by the problems with violent crime, fentanyl, drug addiction.
None of that stuff moved her.
Like the chaos that the liberals have overseen didn't move her.
What moved her was her ego.
She didn't want to have to present this churn sandwich of a mini budget and then be shuffled out of her portfolio, which by the way, she deserved to be shuffled out of her portfolio.
Yeah, no, that's right.
She didn't care about, she didn't care about the cost of living crisis.
She didn't cost about gender issues in Canada.
She didn't care about crime.
She didn't care about immigration.
She didn't care about any of the programs that they've blown all to high hell in getting involved with.
We're talking the national daycare program.
We're talking about, you know, national defense, how they have not funded national defense in the last 10 years.
She didn't care about any of that.
She saw a moment and took it.
But there's a couple of things about this story, Sheila, that just don't make sense to me.
And like, you know, like the rest of everybody listening, I've got a little bit of distrust for the mainstream media or the tale that they're telling about this.
The official story that we've been told is that Justin Trudeau tired of her after 10 years of being a dedicated and loyal soldier, the most loyal soldier that he had.
And he had just decided that he was going to find somebody better, that person being Mark Carney.
And Christia Freeland's days were over as the Minister of Finance and Deputy PM of the Country of Canada.
But when I really think about it, like if you take the spin that the mainstream media is telling us, and you think of the more likely story, the opposite and more likely story, Christia Freeland's son's godfather is Mark Carney.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Oh, look at that.
It's an industrious, incestuous snake pit.
They automatically is.
It is a true story.
And you can't tell me that the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is that stupid to fire his number two in command and not have the next guy lined up.
So the story that he had Mark Carney lined up for Minister of Finance just does not wash.
It just does not wash.
What I believe may have happened, and it has like, it makes more sense, is that Christia Freeland and Mark Carney have an agreement.
And this was their moment to cut ties with a sinking Justin Trudeau.
That makes a lot more sense to me when it comes to what may have happened last week.
So she may have, I mean, Justin Trudeau may have pulled the plug after she forced his hand, but she may have done something so egregious that he had no choice.
And he realized the writing was on the wall and he had to get rid of her real quick.
But that Mark Carney wasn't installed as finance minister, that that wasn't lined up ahead of time.
It doesn't like the story does not wash to me.
I believe that this was their play, Freeland's and Carney's play to take over the leadership of the of the Liberal Party of Canada because Mark Carney would not sign on to a sinking ship that Justin Trudeau was steering.
So they are both very, very involved with the World Economic Forum.
They are both very similar in terms of their politics and their beliefs.
And this was a way for them to pair up and to take over the party together.
That's what I believe happened.
That makes a lot of sense.
It's cunning for a bunch of idiots, but they are sly.
They're sly like a fox, all of them.
And I think they might have just outs, well, it's not difficult to outsmart Justin Trudeau, but they really did outplay a pretty cagey politician.
As Ezra says, Justin Trudeau is not used to lose it.
And so this has to be a very tough week.
And it's no wonder he has no idea how to handle it.
I lined up some clips where we can watch of him speaking at the liberal Christmas party with absolutely zero self-awareness whatsoever.
You would think that he was 20 points ahead in the polls, the way that he was talking, no contrition, no humility.
But and the media, I think, largely got the Mark Carney story wrong.
And to add to the whole like incestuousness of Ottawa, Dominic LeBlanc, wasn't he Justin Trudeau's babysitter?
He was indeed Justin Trudeau's babysitter.
And the choice of Dominic LeBlanc can't be overlooked.
Justin Trudeau's circle of trusted, trusted people is getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
So all of his bridesmaids that were that comprised his entire cabinet.
So we're talking Mark Miller, Seamus O'Regan, all of those guys have made their, largely made their exits out of politics after this.
And Justin Trudeau's circle is getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
Who could he rely on to do his bidding last minute after the plan was foisted against him?
Dominic LeBlanc.
It's wild.
It's wild what happened.
Like I look at that placement as a knee-jerk reaction to an absolute crisis within his ranks.
It looked like Dominic can.
Who's going to answer the call?
Who's going to do my bidding in this moment?
And it was Dominic LeBlanc.
And talk about a huge portfolio.
What is he minister of now?
He's got like, yeah, he's got like seven ministries under his belt.
It makes no sense that he would be given, that he would be given finance, the biggest portfolio in the federal government.
And is he deputy prime minister now?
You know, I'm not sure if we have a deputy prime minister right now.
Who wants to be?
I'm not sure.
But you know what I found was interesting is that neither Champagne nor Boissoneau, who were on the list of, you know, like the list of like replacements.
If something happens to the minister, this is the second in command.
If something happens to that guy, this is the third in command.
That was completely ignored in this situation.
Completely ignored in this situation.
So things are going down fast for Justin Trudeau and it couldn't happen to a better schmuck.
Yeah, exactly.
Let's watch.
This is the media getting everything completely wrong and I'm here for it.
I think some of the ways that he explained this might be veering towards fiction and quite speculative on his part.
Some of what he was saying, particularly in terms of a deal being made with Mark Carney and Mark Carney no longer wanting the job, that is not something that lines up with reporting done by professional journalists today.
No.
That's the CBC getting everything wrong because we have this.
This is Mercedes Stevenson, who's actually a pretty good journalist most of the time.
CBC's Janice McGregor, whose real crime is how she spells her name Janice.
Mercedes-Stevenson completely debunks this.
Senior government sources do not deny that Christopher Freeland was told that Mark Carney was going to become finance minister and she was being moved out of the role after she delivered the disastrous mini budget.
Perspective from the prime minister, those sources say was that Freeland was being offered a key position, sure, sure, sure, to deal with Trump, who hates her, versus the loss of confidence she mentions in her letter.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance, however, are the top jobs in the cabinet.
So as it would turn out, the mainstream media got this one completely wrong.
They said, no, no, you know, Carney wasn't offered the job, but it seems as though he was.
And then him and Freeland sort of outmaneuvered Trudeau.
That's exactly.
That's exactly what it looked that it looks like happened in this case.
Because, and let's not forget, she didn't go through official channels to announce her resignation.
She didn't go through official channels.
She released it direct to Twitter.
She got ahead of all of the spin, which leads me to believe that she wants to control the narrative.
And so because she knew that if the prime minister had a chance, he would spin it his way and not in her favor.
Like it looks like he's being outgunned by two people who are tired of cleaning up the messes and the issues that he puts them in.
But make no mistake, these people would be infinitely even more dangerous for Canada than even Justin Trudeau, than even Justin Trudeau.
These are people that are wholly committed to the World Economic Forum, to doing the bidding of Klaus Schwab.
We think Justin Trudeau was the nightmare.
Wait until Klaus Schwab is making the direction down through Christia Freeland.
They should not be forgiven for the destruction that they have caused to this country.
Freeland, not Carney, not Jolie, not Anita Anand, not any of the people that are considering running for the leadership of the Liberal Party nor for the NDP to keep them, keep them in their leadership.
Yeah, let's never forget that Mark Carney, not only is he deeply involved with the World Economic Forum, but part of his job at the United Nations is de-insuring and definancing oil and gas projects.
So instead of direct cancellation, what they do is they actively work to make sure that oil and gas projects, these massive multi-billion dollar projects that employ thousands of Canadians with a well-paying salary, it's his job at the United Nations to make sure that those companies never get the financing and backing that they need.
So he would be a nightmare for our recovering economies here in the West.
The absolute worst.
And make no mistake, he has got a network that rivals no other in the country of Canada.
As a matter of fact, he's probably the most dangerous man to Canadian sovereignty and to Canadian prosperity that we have ever, ever seen.
Mark Carney is not a good man for Canada, and it would be a disaster if they got anywhere close to the PMO.
So beware, Canada.
Beware.
We got some, the fight is not over.
The fight is not over.
They are going to rebrand.
They're going to get rid of Trudeau.
I believe that they're going to get rid of Trudeau as leader.
They're going to rebrand and they're going to come in with a whole new list of promises for us.
And we must not believe them.
We know the way they work and we know the damage that they can do.
We have to remember that they were completely silent while Justin Trow or enabled him.
Yes.
While he inflicted all this, as Pierre Polyev calls it, economic vandalism on the country.
Pierre Polyev-Clip coming up next.
He slaps down the CBC like nobody else.
So with CBC News.
And Mr. Polyev, if you could also answer this question in French as well as English.
Committee Recommendations Watched Cold00:08:21
Of course.
The government is coming out with a $1.3 billion plan to address border security.
Do you think that's enough to stop Trump's tariffs?
And if it was up to you, how much specifically would you spend on border security?
What number would you put on?
Well, you ask a classically CBC question, which is how much money can you spend on a problem?
Well, that's the wrong question.
That's exactly the question Trudeau has been asking for nine years.
It's the reason he's doubled our debt while making everything worse.
You know, for example, he spent $80 billion on housing affordability.
Well, how'd that work?
He doubled housing costs.
He spent $60 million on his gun confiscation.
Zero guns.
He spent millions on a school food program that hasn't served a single solitary meal.
So we should not judge a program based on how expensive we can make it.
We should judge it by what it can do.
How many helicopters?
How many drones?
How many boots on the ground?
That's the question I will be asking when I'm prime minister.
And how do we deliver it for the lowest possible price to taxpayers?
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a prime minister who said, we secured the borders, we put more boots on the ground, we stopped tons and tons of fentanyl from traveling back and forth.
We arrested the terrorists.
We shut down the organized crime.
We reduced gun crime.
And by the way, we did it with less tax dollars.
That's how our mentality has to change.
We have to stop judging politicians by how expensive they can make things and start judging them by the results they get.
You went into a restaurant and had a terrible experience.
The food was awful.
You got food poisoning.
The service was bad.
You wouldn't walk out and say, but it was great because it cost me $1,000.
And because it's the most expensive restaurant around, it must be the best.
No, we judge the meal by the food on the plate and the service that delivered it.
That's how I'm going to run a common sense conservative government.
Next question.
Nobody, nobody communicates common sense quite like he does.
Just like that.
Just like that.
The measure of the success of a program isn't how much we're investing in it.
It's what it can do for the people of Canada and how little we can spend for the taxpayers of Canada.
It's brilliant.
Let's go into, I got a couple of clips of Arif Varani being a bit of a nut job over the last couple of days.
These clips actually just came out this morning.
So I'm watching them cold just like you're watching them cold.
Let's see what he has to say.
He's, of course, our justice ministers imposing intense censorship on the country.
People across the country should reflect on why they are liberals, what kind of vision they have for this country, but also reflect, frankly, on whom would purport to replace us as government.
And what motivates me and motivates every single liberal, no matter whom you're talking to right now, is that we're all unified behind the idea that change of government with that individual, Nimpolyev, proposing to replace us would not benefit my riding, would not benefit the city, would not benefit this country.
I would just take this opportunity to encourage you to reflect on how this law transpired in terms of its development in the parliamentary process.
At one point, this was being reported back by the Justice Committee with conservative proposals to gut the entire bill.
That's apparently the reflection on prioritizing wrongfully convicted people in this country.
That to me is morally bankrupt.
That's not the kind of government I want to see.
That's not the kind of treatment I want to see for the wrongfully convicted.
That's what motivates me to continue to do this work.
I've got a real tough time with Mr. I'm going to put you in jail for life for saying mean things on the internet, worrying about the wrongfully accused, as if that's the real problem with the justice system in Canada right now, that there are too many wrongfully accused.
Now, look, of course, the wrongfully accused behind bars, that's a bad thing, but that's a problem across every single justice system in the entire world.
Canada's got a revolving door of bail where these horrible people are out on bail.
They're committing crimes while they're on bail and then getting bail again the very same day.
That's the problem.
You know, like, and he doesn't get that he's the problem.
I have a real hard time listening to Arif Varani, who just appointed hundreds, Sheila, hundreds of liberal donors as judges across the country of Canada.
This guy takes to the internet and pats himself, throws his shoulder out, patting himself on the back for appointing liberal donors as judges across the country when our justice system is an unmitigated disaster.
When you have guys, when you have guys like the Coots boys being thrown in jail for six and a half years and men who killed families on freeways out in three and a half months or whatever it is, when you have murderers and rapists and terrorists walking the streets of Canada, and you have freedom protesters being threatened with 10 years of incarceration, I have a real hard time listening to Arif,
foreign-born Arif Varani talking to us about what he wants for Canada.
I am so tired of these entitled rat bastards who have done nothing but destroy our country, telling us what they think that, you know, what would be best for them.
Get the hell out of my face, Arif Varani.
Nobody has been a bigger disaster than you.
You know, just the gall of this guy.
I wish he treated rapists, murderers, child abusers, human traffickers, sex offenders, drug traffickers, the people who bring the poisons into our communities that kill our children.
I wish he treated them with the same disdain as he treats his critics on the internet.
That's exactly right.
That is exactly right.
No, this is not a man who is serious.
This is a man who's doing the bidding of a tyrant.
And the tyrant, of course, is Justin Trudeau, but this is just another wheel.
Arifarani is just another cog in the wheel of Justin Trudeau's out of control wagon.
I mean, he is, he deserves to lose his seat in Handaly.
And man, do I hope he does.
All of these people need to wander in the wilderness for 10 good years.
For 40 good years.
I'm not even, I'm saying this is, we need to smoke them for a generation to get them out.
Not only that, I was talking to a, I was talking to a really, really well-connected political operative in the last couple of weeks.
And one of the things that we were talking about is the Foreign Interference Commission report that's coming out.
Isn't that coming out at the end of January?
Yeah, I just saw, by the way, I just saw the committee report that was released.
So the committee was sort of making a report simultaneously as the commission.
And the committee report, their recommendations, I think that recommendation 17 and 18 is to standardize the ability to freeze your bank account instead of just doing it willy-nilly based on hacked information and more oversight for crowdfunding because it might be used by terrorists, but they're calling everybody terrorists.
So those are the reports, just the crackdown on free speech and making it easier for them to just make sure that you bounce your mortgage and your car payment and can't feed your kids because you are a little bit too dissident in your politics.
Ottawa Overreach Insane00:09:16
That sounds about right.
That sounds about par for the course for this government.
But I guess the point that this political operative made was, depending on what we find with that foreign interference report that's going to come out, that's going to shed a lot of light over who's been influencing our government over these last several years.
If that government formed government because of the actions of bad actors that aren't from here, it could be argued that every appointment, every law, every policy, every procedure, every standard of operation that's been done since the time of a stolen election could get repealed.
And I think that that's where we're at in Canada, because we've got a justice system that's broken, a healthcare system that's corrupt.
Our education systems in every province are burning on fire because of federal interference.
We've got crime out of control.
We've got homelessness out of control.
We've got immigration out of control.
Like there is so much broken that this is why we're seeing Canadians looking across the border at Trump saying, come liberate us.
Like it is so huge that barring an invasion from the United States, it almost feels hopeless.
But if you think about it, if we could just rewind back to 2019 or rewind back to 2015 and undo all of these crazy, crazy laws and policies that have been put into place by the Trudeau government and all of the lackeys that work for it, we'd be in a lot better position because they should not, the government should not be able to tell Canadians what give, send, goes we should be able to contribute to.
They should not be able to tell us what movements we should or should not be able to support.
And we've seen through these last several years of persecution of regular Canadian people just how, I mean, just how much the government hates us.
And this is just another example, like the examples you just gave is just another example of how much they hate us and how threatened they are by the Canadian people making decisions on their own behalf.
Yeah, and let's not forget, like FinTrack under Freeland or Dominic LeBlanc now, their job is to track down terrorist financiers.
They are not supposed to track down dissident Canadians who organize a protest in their own capital.
Like, where are these people supposed to go to protest the government, except where the government works?
Like that seems a little on the nose.
But FinTrack on the flip side is not investigating who's funding Iran all these pro-Hamas demonstrations in Canada every single week.
They have no interest in that whatsoever.
But if you were a farmer who maybe gave a Tim's gift card to a trucker, not only was the potential for your bank account to be frozen, but guess what?
You probably didn't qualify for financing through Farm Credit Canada when you were trying to buy that new equipment.
Isn't that wild?
I mean, the levels of government overreach that we've experienced in Canada is just insane.
I saw the report yesterday from Brabble News that Canada has dropped off the 10 freest countries list.
And I went, well, no bloody kidding.
No bloody kidding.
This is a government that has gotten involved in our lives in a way that was unimaginable 10 years ago.
unimaginable 10 years ago.
And the loss of freedoms and rights that Canadians once enjoyed have just been flushed down the toilet by them.
And we just must get it back.
We just must get it back.
I was going to, well, you know what?
We've got time.
Let's do one more clip from Arif Varani because he must be greatly disliked by Trudeau because he's the one that was trotted out to deal with the media today.
And somebody asked him about the delusions of the liberals right now.
And I'm here for this.
The media is finally finding a little bit of courage.
I'm sure it'll disappear quickly once an election is called.
Polly caucus colleague Wayne Long said that the prime minister is, quote, delusional if he believes he can stay on as party leader.
Is Mr. Long correct or incorrect with that and why?
So what I'll say in respect of sort of what's been transpiring over the last few days in Ottawa is that it's ultimately decisions will be taken by the parties that are involved.
But I'll also just reflect on sort of my personal interactions with the prime minister.
When the prime minister appointed me into this role, he asked me to serve as Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.
He asked me to continue with the mandate letter he'd given to my predecessor.
That mandate letter included changing the way we handle wrongful convictions in Canada.
This is a culmination of and a fulfillment of that ask he made of me.
And this is a commitment to the work we're trying to do as liberals.
And what I'm focused on in this moment is this announcement and a very significant step in concluding that work.
I think that's the most important thing that I'm thinking about today.
Answer the question.
Like he literally, Wayne Long says you're delusional.
Your fellow MP says you're delusional.
And he's like, in this moment, regarding what's transpired with all the parties and in our discussions, just completely ragging the puck and then saying, I'm here to talk about the wrongfully convicted.
Well, actually, my media handlers have instructed me to only say this one single sentence and to just keep saying it over and over and over, regardless of the question that you put to me.
So thank you very much.
I'm here to talk about the wrongfully convicted because we are trying to look like we are compassionate and like we are doing something good for Canada.
Yeah.
That's what they do.
And Justin Trudeau, Justin Trudeau is the absolute king of sticking to the three speaking points of the day.
He is an actor after all, Sheila, and he does memorize his lines.
So does Arif Irani.
This is a new one, though, like this wrongfully convicted stuff.
I've never heard of this before, ever.
This is a new liberal talking point because I think people aren't falling for abortion anymore.
They're not falling for American style politics anymore.
Like they're not falling for that stuff.
So I think they had to like find something new, reached it, like broke the glass in case of emergency and pulled out the wrongfully convicted.
Also, it's a bit rich for these liberals to even be talking about wrongfully convicted because they don't care about the number of times they've wrongfully convicted people, i.e. socially canceled them for saying things that the liberals didn't like.
They tried to wrongfully convict the entire Freedom Convoy several times of being a foreign-funded Kremlin-based operation full of crypto-Nazis.
So I've got nothing to hear from Arif Varani about the wrongfully convicted.
They wrongfully convict conservative Canadians every single day of wrong.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
That is exactly right.
We're being persecuted.
We're being persecuted.
Conservatives are being persecuted.
Christians are being persecuted.
Did you hear anything from Arif Varani about those two groups, about wrongful persecution?
No, you did not.
I mean, it is just crazy, the straws that they are grasping at.
But that is what you do when you're on a sinking ship and you're just looking for something to keep you afloat, isn't it?
Yeah, not one of the smartest rats, is he?
Because the other ones are sort of trying to distance themselves, i.e. Wayne Long.
Yeah, Rennie's riding this one to the bottom, it looks like.
Yeah, he, well, you know why, Sheila, is because Arif Varani believes that there may be a juicier cabinet position for him coming up.
The only people that are speaking out, the only liberals that are speaking out right now are people that have no chance at cabinet positions.
The ones that think that there may be an opportunity for them down the line are keeping mum.
They're not saying anything.
They're towing the party line and they're keeping very, very quiet over this while Ottawa is in full, complete spiral meltdown.
And we're watching the country fall apart.
Those, I mean, I've got no mercy for those people.
None at all.
They had an opportunity to get rid of the most destructive prime minister Canada's ever had and they didn't take it.
Let's watch Justin Trudeau be delusional.
I haven't watched this one in full.
I just saw it was in like our little Rebel News Slack channel.
And so I thought, oh, Justin Trudeau at his company Christmas party.
Let's see what he has to say.
Reconciliation Through Criticism00:07:52
Canadians know where the Liberal Party of Canada stands.
We stand for an economy that is fairer, greener, and stronger.
And an economy that works for everyone, not just the richest few.
We stand for safer communities, free from assault-style rifles designed for battlefields.
Right.
My mini fortune.
We stand for a woman's right to choose.
We stand for the right to be who you are and love whom you love.
On se tient debout pour notre culture.
On se tient debout pour nos langues officielles.
We stand for the rights of linguistic minorities, and that means les francophones à l'extérieur du Québec and anglophones inside of Québec.
We stand for reconciliation.
We stand against those who think they can exploit the vulnerable.
We stand against hate and division.
We stand with workers and the middle class.
We stand with Canadians.
We stand up for Canada.
Merci, mes amis! Thank you so much!
Joyeux Noël!
Imagine being one of the two dozen absolute deluded losers who would still cheer for that asshole.
Excuse my language, pardon my language.
But I've never heard a laundry list of poorer things to support in my entire life.
Hi, we have scurvy, and the best they could do for us is taking the GST off Oreos and Tampa in the men's room.
That's exactly right.
Defunding our military to a point of laughability, but yet putting tampons in the military bathrooms yep, that's who we cheered for.
But what kind of like?
What kind of ragged, lunatic cheers for abortion like?
What kind of rag?
Like this is not, this is.
This is something that is so serious and that is so so so, completely morally profound.
Who the hell in their right mind could cheer like that for abortion?
I mean, it just goes to show you the depravity of diehard liberal supporters and exactly what they'll cheer for.
But his, I mean, his laundry list is so disconnected from what's important to Canadians.
Well, and he's projecting on every single one of them.
We don't care who you love.
I'm pretty sure you do care who everybody loves, because if you don't march into parade to celebrate it, you're coming to get that person.
You care about reconciliation, do you?
How's Randy Boasano doing these days?
He did not, he was not removed from caucus.
He removed himself from caucus.
He was never fired.
In fact, when Randy Cocahontes was presenting himself as fake Indigenous for the purposes of getting contracts, he was promoted.
He was promoted to the minister in charge of Jasper Rebuild.
Yeah.
Hundreds of Canadian reserves without access to clean water.
First Nations kids last in the nation for graduation and retention rates and education.
Dozens of people in Canada's far north suffering from a 17th century pirate disease.
Oh, but Justin Trudeau is committed to reconciliation.
Go take a long dive off the short piercer.
Obviously, obviously, those were talking points that he just has rehearsed that he knows will get that will get lauded by his diehard supporters, but mean nothing to everyday Canadians.
Because like Pierre Polyev said, it doesn't matter if you just throw money at a thing and the bureaucrats get to spend the money.
If nothing ever gets fixed and nothing ever gets done, it does not matter.
And just the yelling, like get control of your emotions, my guy.
Like stop yelling.
Talk about projection, hey?
Like he really, like he really wanted to get them jazzed for abortion.
Everyone, everyone, let's show how jazzed we are about about killing babies.
Dismembering babies.
Sick.
The man is sick.
The man is sick.
Yeah.
Keep going.
Do you want him?
I do have one more of him.
And it is, it's, it's really something to, when you look at like the screaminess of Trudeau versus like the icy, cold thoughtfulness of Pierre Polyev, just delivering every little bit of things that are wrong with Canada off the top of his head.
And like nobody communicates common sense, I don't think, quite like Pierre Polyev.
I think that's, they will teach his communication style, I think, in future generations in communications classes, in universities.
He has a way.
Yeah.
He has a way because he breaks down these purposefully, I think, complicated issues into what it means for your family and your bank account.
And that's a real skill because I think the other side makes these things big and too complex for normal people to feel confident to weigh in on.
And Polyev sort of cuts through the BS.
That's by design.
That's absolutely by design.
They overcomplicate it and they get so, so high up in the air that you don't feel confident in having an opinion, let alone voicing it.
Whereas Pierre Polyev employs this method of storytelling in his pressers that it makes it instantly instantly understandable to the Canadian population.
And you know what else it does?
It makes it instantly repeatable because we could take what he said and repeat it for ourselves over and over and over.
And that's something that Justin Trudeau just does not do, just does not do.
I saw the other day, I wonder if maybe I could find it.
Jagmeet Singh tried to do some of that storytelling that Polyev does.
And he told this, you know what I'm going to find it.
He told this story of how he went to the dentist with somebody.
And then the dentist was like, I'm fixing these teeth because of you, big fella.
Thanks for fighting for the teeth.
I'll find it while we're watching this next Trudeau video because it is just, I saw them like, well, you went to the dentist with somebody.
The dentist just let you sit there in a sterile environment.
Like, besides the ridiculous of this, you haven't found a dentist that will let you take a local politician or a national politician just into your dental appointment when they're working on your mouth?
Really?
You want us to believe that?
Yeah.
And being congratulated by one of the highest income earners, because dentists are one of the highest income earners across the board in the country, they make some pretty, pretty good money for their training.
I mean, their training costs a million dollars.
To become a dentist, it costs a million dollars.
I don't think they have them.
Me neither.
Me neither.
They do real important work.
But, you know, saddling up to one of the top income earners who's then thanking Jake Meet Singh for being able to make more money is kind of laughable.
Voting On Dentists?00:14:35
I mean, what kind of working man is he supporting?
He's supporting the upper, upper 3% of income earners in Canada.
And he told me, thanks for fighting for the teeth.
Thanks for fighting for us, little guys.
You know, thanks to you, Junk Meat, I can buy my third vacation home this time in BAM.
I'm going to find it while you're watching Justin Trudeau have zero self-awareness whatsoever, talk about the Conservative Party and how Polyev is a Grinch because he wants to keep GST on Oreos to avoid a $62 billion deficit.
Anyway, let's watch.
150 years of liberal history.
In the meantime, the Conservatives have changed their names multiple times and changed their values more times than I can count.
I mean, call me old-fashioned, but I remember when Conservative stood for protecting our institutions instead of trying to tear them down.
I mean, just look at their current Grinch.
I mean, leader.
His slogans are all about cutting taxes, but put an actual tax cut on the table and he votes against it.
He voted against a tax break for Canadians over these Christmas holidays.
He voted to make, when he was a minister, he voted to make life harder for unions, to make it harder for workers to organize.
He pretends to stand with them.
He voted repeatedly against the right to abortion.
But now he tries to claim he's pro-choice.
Let me be clear.
Being pro-choice means standing up to the people who would take away that freedom, and that would mean standing up to his own party, which he won't do.
Little loser you know he would not sign the nomination papers of pro-life liberals.
First of all, I don't know how you could be a pro-life liberal like I don't know how you could join the Liberal Party, which is the Party OF Death, especially with their stances on abortion at any point, and made uh, they're the party of death.
So if you are a pro-life individual and you believe that that is a fundamental conscience issue for you, like something that your mortal soul depends on, I don't know how you could find yourself joining the Liberal Party OF Canada anyway, but he would not sign their nomination papers.
And then he gets mad at the conservatives because they say okay well, we're.
This is obviously a conscience issue for many people.
We are not going to impose one viewpoint on people when it is an issue that Canadians have different viewpoints on.
Yeah uh, but it but it is like it is within Justin's wheelhouse, because abortion really is a rapist's dream.
It really is a rapist dream.
And people that that commit incest and people that commit sexual violence, uh, abortion is just their, their absolute best case scenario, where you can erase the evidence and these men can walk away with zero consequences.
Of course Justin Trudeau would support those men.
Of course he would.
Uh, if we were, if we were, to impose limits on abortion in Canada, which we should, which we absolutely shouldn't, which and the conversation should be on on the table as soon as the conservatives are elected uh uh, that should be one of the things that we talk about.
They should do it quickly, like it should be done so fast, so that uh people realize the sky isn't falling if you don't allow somebody to dismember a perfectly viable human being.
Yep yeah no, without question.
I also like.
I also like how Justin Trudeau thinks it's a bad thing that conservatives, once their party, drifts into uh corruption, burn the whole thing down and start again.
That's what people of principle do um, but for the liberals, they abide every level of corruption and he's proud of it.
He's like we've been doing this for 150 years, just corrupt through the moon, and he doesn't understand that conservatives will not abide that and that's why every you know decade or two or three, we have to burn the whole thing down and start again, and I love how he thinks that it's a flex.
You know, the liberals haven't had to rebrand or change their name in 150 years.
We have remained consistent until you sir, until after this guy, after this guy is ejected as prime minister and after they get absolutely inviscerated in the next election.
Don't tell me that the Liberal Party isn't going to be looking hard to rebrand.
And the reason I know this is because the Liberal Party OF Saskatchewan had to absolutely get rid of all, all uh all it.
It was literally the visual brand the, the uh the party name.
All of it had to get changed.
And the Liberal Party OF Canada Post-Justin Trudeau will have to do the same, because Canadians, I won't let them.
I won't let them forget what they did to us and how far they've taken us down the wrong path.
Won't forget that we're going to tie this around the liberals' necks like a dead chicken, Sheila, for the next 40 years.
We won't let Canadians forget what they've done to us.
And then we quickly, as soon as the conservatives get in, we got to get to work correcting a lot of the, a lot of the harms that have been.
I think the first two years is just figuring out how bad it is.
Honest to goodness.
Like figuring out the level of like corruption, spending scandals, improper contracts, the dealings with McKinsey.
Like I don't just, and we're going to need actual commissions, like Gomery style reports into the sponsorship scandal, as we saw with Jean Cretchen, not these Justin Trudeau fixed appointments and appointee commissions with these very narrow parameters.
I mean, look at the Public Order Emergency Commission.
They found that the government did nothing wrong, but when a real judge looked at it, they're like, yeah, this whole thing is illegal.
And it's just, yes, exactly.
And that's another thing that's real important to remember about Pierre Polyev, because the conservatives, one of the liberal attack lines against Pierre Polyev is he hasn't had a real job.
He is a career politician.
He, you know, he's never had a role outside of working the halls of Ottawa.
You know what that makes him?
That makes him an astute observer of what happens in Ottawa and who does what.
That man has been building relationships in Ottawa for the last 20 years of his life.
Not only that, but he's kept his family real close.
You know, they live real close to the, that's right.
That's right.
He hasn't had an opportunity to veer very far from conservative values.
But this is a guy who will know who to ask to get a fair assessment of what's happened in government and how to get this under control really fast.
And I think I even myself have to temper my expectations about what conservatives will be able to do.
Right.
Because I'm at the point where I'm like, send a meteor, send a meteor into Ottawa.
That's what they deserve.
And we have to.
That's right.
We will build from the ashes, as they say.
But I got to temper my expectations.
But I got a lot of confidence that Pierre Polyev is the guy that will be able to, that has the relationships and the understanding of how these things work and how they've unraveled over the last 10 years to be able to get them right.
Right.
The speed at which I think the conservatives are going to work will be limited by the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth, as they say in the Bible, of the bureaucracy in Ottawa.
Well, maybe we need an Elon type guy to come in, like the department, the Department of Government Efficiency to come in.
And this would have to be an outsider.
This would have to be a person that doesn't have those tight, tight relationships that can't be corrupted or veered to one side and just do a real hardy analysis of who does what.
And, you know, it's sort of like the prove your worth tour that you, that, that they did at Alberta Health Services.
Remember, what was her name?
What was her name, Sheila?
Adriana LaGrange.
Lagrange.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Adriana Lagrange marching into Alberta Health Services saying, right, prove your worth.
You got five minutes to tell me what you do to make me understand why you're a value to the taxpayer.
And if you can't do that, then here's your pink slip.
We totally need that in Ottawa.
I'm not saying we may need that.
I'm saying we totally need that.
This is the most nepotistic and incestuous city in the entire nation of Canada.
They all work on relationships and we need somebody to go in there with a chainsaw, just like Elon.
Who's that going to be for Canada?
Maybe like Brett Wilson?
That was the first name I had in my brain.
Brett Wilson, second Kevin O'Leary.
Okay, so Brett W. Wilson, we have a W. Brett Wilson, we have a job for you, brother.
Okay, you're going to have to relocate to Ottawa for about a year, but we need somebody to clean house in Ottawa.
And I think, oh, I mean, he would be perfect for that role, wouldn't he?
He would be great.
Now, I'm worth, I did find that Jagmeet Singh clip.
We're going to bring in NDP leader Jugmeet Singh.
He joins me live now as we reflect on the year, as well as what has been a wild week in politics.
And it is only Wednesday.
Good morning to you, Mr. Singh.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you.
Good morning.
You said on Monday that the prime minister should resign.
You are calling for Justin Trudeau's resignation, and yet you are not willing to vote non-confidence.
Why not declare no confidence in the liberal?
Straight to the point.
Everybody's on the table.
But we know that given what's going on, we've got serious threats of tariffs by Trump that threaten hundreds and thousands of Canadian jobs.
We've got workers wondering, will my job be on the table?
Will I lose my job?
We've got people that are having a hard time buying your groceries, basic necessities.
We've got people that are saying, I can't pay my bills.
The cost of housing is up.
And then we have Justin Trudeau, who's more focused on fighting his own party than fighting for people.
So it became very clear to me he can no longer continue that role.
He's got to resign.
And then we've got to get down to the work of protecting Canadians against those tariffs, making sure that we make life more affordable, things that we've been doing throughout the year.
You said on Monday, and again, these are your words, not mine, that Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are focused only on themselves and not on Canadians.
And yet you are the one who holds the power to actually put this to Canadians, but you are single-handedly keeping the Liberal government in power.
Why is your support for them still on the table?
Well, right now, there is no vote that would trigger an election, but what I'm saying is Justin Trudeau has shown to Canadians who are saying, I'm having a hard time with my life.
I'm barely getting by.
He's more focused on himself.
He's more focused on fighting his own party than fighting.
You had the opportunity to put this to Canadians.
So are you not focused on yourself too here?
Well, throughout the year, we were able to make some important things happen.
We were able to get dental care to a million Canadians.
So because of our work, a million people were able to go to the dentist.
And I've met some of those folks.
I met Sue in Ottawa, who survived the cancer, as a senior on a fixed income and has basically no teeth left.
And she was at the dentist's office when I was with her and she said, can you get my smile back?
And the dentist and the dentist said, yes, because of this program that that guy over there fought for.
And he pointed at me, that you're going to be able to get your teeth fixed.
We're going to actually give your smile back.
That to me was very meaningful.
A million people in our country were able to do that because of what we fought for.
Free diabetes, medication, devices, and free birth control are also things we fought for and we secured in the past year.
We've been using our power to get things done for people.
And if we were not there, nothing would have happened.
Every single thing that the government did to make life better for people were things that we pushed for.
After the holiday period, after Justin Trudeau reflects, say he doesn't resign, then what?
Well, I'm not going to answer hypotheticals, but I can tell you my commitment is we know there's going to be an election next year.
We know that 2025 is an election year, that's for sure.
And people tell me again and again that they are fed up with and are done with the liberals.
They're not going to give them, they don't deserve another chance.
So there'll be an important choice.
The conservatives, Pierre Paul, yeah, want to cut the things that people need.
They want to cut pensions for seniors.
They want to cut childcare for families.
They want to cut investments in health care.
They're going to cut and it's going to hurt people.
Or New Democrats, what we want to do is we want to make your life more affordable.
Make sure you can lower the bill, lower the cost of your bills, make life better.
That's a choice.
Life is not more affordable right now.
Of course not.
Yeah, under the Liberals, for sure.
I've got to ask you, though, as bad as liberals are doing, Angus Reed, Nanos, Abacus, they all have the NDP slightly worse.
Are you not willing to call an election because you know you're going to lose bad?
Oh, no, we're ahead of the liberals for the first time in a decade.
Every major poll has put us.
Not the polls that I've checked.
Oh, yeah, every poll in Canada now has put us either tied with or ahead of the liberals.
So we're at the best position we've ever been in in over a decade.
But that's not the issue right now.
The issue right now is we know there will be an election in 2025.
And what I'm hearing from people is they're worried about the cuts that Pierre Polyev would dig in.
They're worried about what would that mean for child care, what that would be for dental care.
They just finally get, they finally received.
So my invitation is to Canadians out there who are worried about the cuts of Pierre Polyev saying, I'm worried about that guy.
I'm afraid of that guy.
I invite you to join us.
If we come together, if we organize, if we fight, we can win.
And I want to give people that hope.
Behind the Block00:04:40
Okay, Jugmiet Singh, I have to leave it there.
Thank you so much for being here.
Really appreciate your time.
Thank you.
We, of course, reached out to the prime minister's office, who is no longer doing year-end interviews, as well as the official opposition, Pierre Polyev, who has not committed to a year-end interview here on BT.
Goes wild.
You know, I was on a yacht.
I was on a yacht the other day, swilling champagne with a billionaire.
And he said to me, Jugmeet, thanks so much for lowering the price of my caviar, for voting against, voting against taxes on my caviar.
Thanks so much, buddy.
I mean, this is what this guy stands for.
This is what this guy stands for.
Don't talk to me about child care.
Don't talk to me about dental care or free birth control, which is nothing more than wrong sex hormones for trans women.
He doesn't care about women's birth control.
He cares about wrong sex hormones for trans women.
Jugmeet Singh, you are so far off base.
And he is in fact wrong about his polling.
There is no major pollster that has the NDP about, like, they are still third behind.
Some polls have them behind the block.
Oh, way behind the block.
Way behind the block.
Oh, no.
Jugmeet Singh is a terrible leader who's going to hang on to his cushy salary, his taxpayer-funded salary, and claw a $2 million pension off the backs of hardworking Canadians before he is tossed to the dustbin of history.
And I just can't say this more clearly.
That man should not be given a moment's peace for as long as he lives after this.
There should not be one bowl of soup that doesn't have spit in it, as far as I'm concerned.
This man's been more destructive because he does.
He's the only one that's had the power to be able to call an election and he has it to relieve.
If he really wanted to relieve the suffering of Canadians, he would have called an election on our behalf, and he did not.
And look what he's doing here.
It's a really, it's not clever because it's Jugmeet Singh, but it is a sneaky sleight of hand that he's doing.
Who is he to call for the resignation of the Liberal Party leader?
He has no power over that.
He is not in charge of the Liberal Party, although some days he feels as though he is, that the NDP are just the socialist wing of the Liberal Party.
But he's got no control over who is the leader.
He has the ability to put this to Canadians.
Instead, his solution is to put the problem to the liberal members, right?
If Justin Trudeau resigns, the only election we're going to get is who's the new prime minister because the prime minister is the leader of the liberal party.
We'll immediately go into, that's right, we'll go into a leadership race, not an election.
No, no, this guy is, this guy is, I mean, this is the most self-serving man and the most, the most greedy, the most self-serving and the most out-of-touch man in all of the entire nation of Canada, Jugmi Singh.
It's grotesque because he needs there to be a Liberal Party in charge so that he can, as he says here, just change the wording, cut through the political jargon.
He needs to wring out everything he can from a Liberal Party that needs his support and he's going to do it.
And so that's why he wants a change in leadership in the Liberal Party and not a general election, which Canadians so rightly deserve.
I loved her first question, though.
It's like, why aren't you doing it?
Like, why aren't you calling an election that?
Like, like, dude, this is what we are all looking to show a little bit of leader.
If he had any leadership skills and he does not, he would have called that election already.
But instead, he'll watch, he'll watch the, he'll watch the nation further devolve into madness and chaos and corruption and crime.
And at the end, he'll walk away with a big fat pension.
Of course, that's what will happen.
Yeah.
It's all about him.
It's all about him.
He would burn the country down as long as he got that pension and was able to tell completely false stories about a dentist giving you the thumbs up that you get your teeth fixed because that guy right there was fighting for, as if he was in the like, the exam room at the dentist's office.
Can you, can you fix my smile?
It doesn't matter if you fix the smile jug meet, if you catch scurvy and all your teeth fall out again.
Right, you know what I mean.
Vanity Project Politics00:02:02
Like it's sort of yeah, it's sort of anticlimactic and, to be completely honest, like it it just sounds like a vanity.
It sounds like a vanity project for him, this uh, to say that they got it done to further get business for the top three percent of income earners.
These are dentists in Canada.
Uh uh, it is.
It is quite literally insane.
And and none of the uh, none of the people that truly, truly need that dental care are getting it.
None of them.
Yeah, and I, from what I understand, the dentists didn't want this either like they're private entrepreneurs, business expenses and things like that, and yeah, maybe shoehorned into the government uh, and now they have a whole new level of bureaucracy.
Now they have a whole new level of bureaucracy to to have to deal with.
So the cost for us uh, regular Joe Schmoes going to the dentist once a year for a, for a cleaning and a and some basic fillings, is going to be increased because, because of the cost that the bureaucracy has added to to these businesses, we've been going for an hour.
But I got one more clip and this is the new year's day uh video anyway.
So you, a lot of you people, have nothing else to do today except languish in the dark because you have a hangover.
So uh, let's one, two.
Yeah, you know what it'll happen.
It gets us, it's okay, and it gets worse as you get older.
I have what I get, hangovers akin to uh, the resurrection of Christ.
It takes me three days to come to life and the blanket i've been laying in is covered in an outline of me like a shroud.
I do not bounce back the way I used to, that's for sure.
I do not.
I don't bounce at all, I don't, I hardly bounce at all.
I hit the ground and then I roll into the corner.
Um, there's no bouncing here.
Governors' Bold Stances00:08:28
We've got one more clip.
Let's leave on a positive note.
Uh, I can't wait to see what this woman does in 2025.
She's on the list of ladies i'm watching in 2025, you, April Hutchinson, and this gal.
It's, of course, Premier Daniel Smith on Fox News Business.
She's becoming quite a regular over there.
They love her plain spoken common sense and her dragging Trudeau without actually outright dragging him.
It's a very clever way that she does this.
But let's watch her full clip of her on Fox News business.
This is the Premier of Alberta, and she joins me now.
Madam Premier, welcome back to the program.
Always good to see you back.
My pleasure.
Is Trudeau, Prime Minister, is he on the way out?
And if so, is that because he ran down to Mar-a-Lago to plead with Trump and that wasn't popular in Canada?
We're all very concerned about a 25% tariff coming in in January.
We've got a lot of turmoil, unfortunately.
We hope that we have some stability.
But what we're trying to do as premiers is address the very real concerns that we have on our border to make sure we don't have illegal migrants, make sure we don't have illegal drugs.
We announced a plan in Alberta, and we hope that the federal government will be able to address those concerns as well.
That's what Trump wanted.
He wanted you to take action on your border, your border with Montana.
So what exactly are you doing on that border?
What we're doing is we're hiring 51 sheriffs.
We're going to be putting sniffer dogs on the border so that we can detect drugs.
We're going to be doing commercial vehicle inspection.
We'll have a two-kilometer zone offside the border so that if anybody is there looking like they're trying to sneak across or come across from the other side, we'll be able to apprehend them.
And we hope that we'll be able to address the issues that we face.
I mean, we know that in Canada as well as in the United States, we've got a very serious fentanyl crisis.
And we want to do our part to make sure that we're stopping the precursors to be able to create those deadly drugs and also making sure that they don't harm people in our communities or in American communities as well.
That's what we're doing in Alberta.
And we're hoping other provinces follow suit.
Mr. Trump would be satisfied, presumably, with what you're doing, hiring sheriffs and the two-kilometer exclusions.
He would be satisfied with that, wouldn't he?
I would hope so.
But again, we don't know.
I mean, I think we've got a couple of issues that have been raised by the Americans.
They want to make sure that China is not using our country as a back door to bring cheap goods into Canada.
We've made or into the United States.
We've made some great progress on that.
We've matched the electric vehicle tax that is on Chinese electric vehicles, as well as addressed issues around steel and aluminum.
We also know that the Americans want us to meet our 2% NATO commitment.
And so we have been strong voices, myself, along with the other 12 premiers, in advocating to meet that NATO target for the benefit of both of our economies.
We know that when conflict happens around the world, Canada has been a reliable partner, but will be more reliable if we end up meeting that commitment as well.
So we think we've got a few things to do, but we're hoping to avoid tariffs for the benefit of both of our countries.
May I change the subject to an issue that's of great importance here in America and certainly in Britain?
You're Alberta, you're considering banning doctors from giving puberty blockers to minors under the age of 16.
The Brits did the same thing, kids under 18.
Are you meeting strong opposition with this?
We're the first province in Canada to do this.
And I know that there are some activist groups that are going to challenge us in the court.
But when we looked at what was happening in the UK, you've probably covered it.
The Hillary Cass report.
They spent four years looking at all the evidence.
And quite frankly, there aren't very good long-term studies about what puberty blockers do.
What we do know is that the decision to have kids or not have kids is an adult decision to make.
And so we want to preserve kids' choices so that they aren't making decisions prematurely that might affect their ability to have kids of their own one day.
So we think that if it does get challenged in court, we're pretty confident that we'll be able to defend it.
Nice.
Isn't she a peach?
Isn't she just a peach, though?
Yes, she is.
And on that issue there of the, you know, her, there's three actual laws that deal with trans issues in Alberta.
And she initially said she wasn't going to use the notwithstanding clause to protect them.
But now she has said to me in our year-end interview, if it comes down to it, she will use it.
So she can add it anytime along the way.
And if these laws end up in legal jeopardy, thanks to activist courts and activists funded by Justin Trudeau bringing legal challenges that she would then shroud the legislation.
But she wants to use that as a last resort instead of a first one.
Yeah.
So as connected as Danielle Smith is to these issues, and she amongst the premiers of Canada is probably the most connected to these issues.
She can't possibly know the veracity in which the activists are going to come for her.
She can't possibly know the ways that they will use the mainstream media to bury her.
She can't possibly know the attacks that are going to come at her at the UCP and at every common sense Alberton that's supportive of these stopgap measures to stop the harm of children and of women.
They are the best funded.
The LGBTQIA movement in Canada is one of the best funded.
This is on the legal side and on the activist side to be able to stir up trouble, to manufacture outrage and to play act harm that they claim befalls their community.
Danielle Smith can't possibly, can't possibly know.
And they are coming.
They are coming.
They are.
And they're coming with all of our money in their pockets.
Now, on the other issue, boy, she sure sounds like Canada's foreign affairs minister, but I'm reliably informed that that's Melanie Jolie.
If you notice, Fox News does not want to talk to Melanie Jolie, even though she's the point person on this stuff.
It's Danielle Smith who is building those inroads and salvaging the relationship with the Trump administration, the incoming Trump administration.
She's the de facto foreign affairs minister at this point, I think.
Yes, she is.
Yes, she is.
Well, she not only knows her stuff, but she sort of speaks, she sort of speaks in a common sense, conservative way that would really, really appeal to the Americans.
You know, she doesn't beat around the bush.
She keeps it super cute, which the Trump administration will appreciate.
But she's not coming out of the gate like Christian Freeland saying, you know, insulting the Americans, insulting their election choices and insulting their incoming president or his administration.
She's extraordinarily savvy as it comes to forging those relationships and knowing what side of her bread is buttered and who's buttering it.
I mean, there's nobody more adept at doing that than Danielle Smith.
She's just brilliant.
She's just brilliant.
She's a clever, clever lady.
And I think the other provinces should be very, very glad that the relationship with Donald Trump is not left exclusively up to Justin Trudeau.
Oh, thank God.
And I just like, I just, I mean, I just love every single time that Donald Trump or Eric Trump or any one of their, you know, close people in the administration starts tweeting about the governor of Canada.
And you know what's so funny?
Time he says that he's like you know, Justin Trudeau is the governor, the governor of the of the state of Canada.
I think to myself, I think to myself, he's not qualified to be the governor of Canada.
And then I think to myself oh, he's also not qualified to be the prime minister.
Governor Trudeau's Disingenuous Narrative00:08:30
And yet here we are, and yet here we are.
But I gotta say that that uh, you know for everybody, for everybody that's real concerned about uh Trump Trump, bringing this up, would you rather the Americans liberate us or would you rather keep being influenced and invaded by the World Economic Forum?
The choice is yours.
Like, would you rather have China and Iran and Russia taking over Canada or would you rather have the United States taking over Canada?
Because the report for the Department of National Defense came out yesterday and in it, the statistics were shocking.
The Canadian military is less than 50% ready for any action that they might face.
Less than 50% readiness with the military.
And the truth is, Canada, if the United States wanted to blast over their border, they need little more than a woven basket of water balloons to do it.
That's what poor shape the Canadian military is in with Justin Trudeau.
So, you know, I welcome talks with our friends from across the border.
I welcome them.
And, you know, I was looking at some leger polling about that.
I think it was Léger, maybe it was Abacus.
Is Poland coming up now?
Yeah, it was like a week ago.
Now, it asks specifically, it didn't ask about separatist sentiment because depending on what's happening, that can be like as high as 50%.
And they never really quite gauge what that means.
Does it mean fighting more with Ottawa?
Does it mean more provincial autonomy?
Does it mean like, hey, we're our own province as our own country?
Or are we joining the United States?
But this latest polling data shows that about 25% of Albertans and Saskatchewan residents would be like, yeah, we're good.
Really?
Yeah, really.
That's a substantial amount.
Now, who are like dead serious, like, yes, we would go, I would join the United States tomorrow.
And it's funny to watch the disconnect between the Eastern commentators on this versus the people in the West, because they, that's part of the problem.
They're like, we would never join the Americans.
And it's out here in the West who are like, I feel very culturally compatible with my friends in Montana versus my friends in the lower mainland of British Columbia.
That's a true story.
We're much, much, much more compatible on the prairies, the prairie provinces, with our American brothers and sisters than we are with any other part of Canada, to be completely honest.
We got more in common with Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, you know, all of the middle states than we do with anybody, with anybody east of Manitoba.
That is for certain.
But I mean, referendums, referendums are something that Canadians can and should do on this issue.
I think many, many Canadians are treating this like an existential crisis.
You know, who are we?
Well, we're a post-national state according to our own prime minister.
And geopolitical borders change all the time.
And who people belong to change all the time.
Britain, most recently, decided to walk away from the European Union.
They just went, right, it's not working for us.
And I think that, especially for those of us in the West, we should consider posing a similar question.
I'm listening.
And isn't really a referendum campaign the art of the deal and the sell, right?
The whole point of a campaign is to convince people to your viewpoint.
So again, Here's the problem though.
You have premiers like Daniel Smith and to some extent Scott Mo, who are now, as opposed to Jason Kenney previously, doing more than the strongly worded letters.
And so I know, especially here in Alberta, Daniel Smith's Sovereignty Act basically threw a wet blanket on the sovereigntist movement here in Alberta that was sort of getting organized.
There's a bunch of little different factions that couldn't get their heads together.
But she said, I'll give you everything you need within a united Canada.
And so now that sort of now all that support sort of shifted over to the UCP, which is good if you're trying to stave off the NDP.
Right.
Right.
Because yeah, a separatist movement inside of a conservative movement is pretty hard to make a jive.
It's pretty hard to make jive.
But I do think that it speaks to the level of discontentment and this is how disenfranchised, especially Western Canadians are, if 25% one in four of us are saying, right, take us, take us, America, we go on a heartbeat.
Sure.
That's how disenfranchised we are.
And I think part of what Danielle Smith is doing by building those relationships, being her own foreign affairs minister to the United States, is some of that.
It's some of that, like we're not doing this with Ottawa.
We're doing this on our own.
There's no reason why we have to do our international relationships through the disaster dumpster fire of Ottawa.
We can do that one-on-one, nation to nation, as they say in Quebec.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
No, why let Ottawa screw up a good relationship?
Why let them get, I mean, would you trust Melanie Jolie to negotiate with Trump or Christia Freeland, who just spent four years crap talking him publicly?
I mean, that is just crazy.
And that's actually another part of the story that I find really, really disingenuous with the Trudeau, Christia Freeland story, like breakup tale, is that he was pegging her to be the minister of Canada-U.S. relations.
And I went, right, they hate her.
Why would that ever have happened?
She's not a trustworthy person down there.
This is not somebody that they would want to engage with.
Why would he earmark her for that role?
Well, I have my theories and I asked the premier about that.
I think, yeah, well, I said, do you think that Justin Trudeau would sabotage the trade deal and trade relations with the tariff with the United States so that he has somebody to campaign against that isn't Polyev?
Because there's no way he's Polyev.
Right.
Here's what you do.
You cause economic carnage in the Canadian economy worse than you've already done.
And then you say, it's Trump.
I'm the man to deal with Trump.
So campaign against Trump as opposed to campaigning against Polyev.
And so how do you get those wheels in motion?
You send the person the Trump administration hates the most to be the trade envoy.
That actually makes, that actually makes a lot of sense.
Thank you.
That actually makes a ton of sense when you say when you, yeah, when you say it that way.
But this was, this was not a job that Christian Freeland was at all interested.
It sounds like in taking.
The role offered no staff, no money, no, you know, none of the perks or benefits that she has become accustomed to enjoying.
Sheila Tremont of the job.
That's exactly right.
No, it was a huge, it was a huge, it would have been a huge, huge demotion and one that would have come along with a lot more headaches.
And it's just public embarrassment too, because then you've got the Trump administration's ire directed on you.
He's already making fun of Justin Trudeau every step of the way.
Imagine the, the mockery that Trump would direct at Freeland.
I mean, that's exactly right.
Yeah, it would be terrible, and Trudeau knows that, and you know the thing that Trump is doing.
You know he he, he is talking in jest about making Canada that the sure 50, you know the 51st state um, but?
But what he's actually saying is, you get you Canada, get rid of Trudeau, and everything will be fine between us.
We will return to our regular working relationship uh, one that's highly based on trust.
You know, we have the longest, uh unguarded border in the entire, in the entire world, and what he's saying is, if you guys get rid of Trudeau, we will be all good fam, and so this is what we must do, Canada, we must get rid of Trudeau, please.
Carney Coming: Destroying Trudeau?00:06:27
Thanks so much for coming on the show helping me uh wrap up 2024.
I'm very welcome.
I can't wait to spend 2025 with you, and thank you so much for spending so much time in 2024 with us here at Rebel NEWS.
You're quickly becoming a fan and staff favorite.
Well, it's been my pleasure, rebel fam, and thanks so much for having me and really all of the very Canada we've been through the ringer in 2024 and and uh, 2025 is going to be a very interesting year.
Thanks so much for spending your time with us, for inviting us into your homes and and for Sheila Gun Reed for doing all this heavy lifting for us all the time.
Thanks so much to you.
happy 2025 happy new year everybody well the last segment of the show We turn it over to you, because without you, there's no Rebel NEWS.
So if you have some of your feedback about the show today, send it to me at Sheila at Rebelnews.com.
I would love to hear from you, but don't let that be the only way you get in contact with us.
If you're watching a clip of the show on youtube or on Rumble, leave a comment there.
Even better, share those free clips with your friends who are not yet subscribers, so that they can get a taste of what we do here at Rebel NEWS behind the paywall and encourage them to leave some comments there too.
I would love to know what they think about the work that we do here now.
Today's comments actually don't come from any of my own work.
I want to talk to you a little bit about how the international media, and particularly the American media, is looking to us here at Rebel NEWS.
To give them a fair and honest breakdown of what has been unfolding.
Again, this is pre-recorded in the Liberal Party OF Canada and all the palace intrigue with Justin Trudeau.
So I myself have been on Newsmax a couple of times already to talk about this.
Uh, my boss Ezra, he's been on Glenn Beck's show and and a few other places, because it can be and this is not a slight on our American friends and viewers but we have a, a parliamentary system that is a little bit strange.
Strange to them, foreign to them.
It's not their system.
So they need some explainers about who's the NDP and why is Justin Trudeau in a coalition government and how does that change?
And, you know, I think they know that Justin Trudeau is a bit of a foppish idiot who has destroyed our country.
But do you know all the things that he's done and why he's done them?
And I think they know Christy Freeland as somebody that the Trump administration deeply dislikes, but do they know that she is a World Economic Forum Fraulein?
Do they know that she was the official biographer of George Soros?
Do they know that she absolutely destroyed an entire section of Reuters when she was in charge over there?
And that she is an economic arsonist on the Canadian economy.
So I thought that I would mosey on over to YouTube and pull up some comments about Ezra's appearance on the Glenn Beck show explaining what is going on.
Again, this is pre-recorded in the Liberal Party.
Maybe when you're watching this, Justin Trudeau has his government has fallen.
I don't want him to resign as the Liberal Party leader.
I want his government to fall.
I want Canadians to choose who the next prime minister is and not the Liberal Party of Canada.
They've had their chance.
They gave us Justin Trudeau for nine years.
I think it's time for somebody.
Canadians who all of the people suffering this nonsense should have their say.
Anyway, let's get into the comments.
Just me, 5G2 says, Christy Freeland was laughing when they were freezing the bank accounts of Canadians from the Truckers Convoy when they protested in Ottawa about Trudeau's mandates during COVID.
Yes, never forget.
She cackled like a hyena when she destroyed the lives of Canadians who simply didn't want to get locked down anymore, were tired of having their rights violated.
She used the War Measures Act, the Emergencies Act, martial law here in Canada on bouncy councils and street parties in the nation's capital.
Like where, again, I reiterate, where are Canadians supposed to go to protest Justin Trudeau, except at the Capitol?
Like where he's supposed to go to work?
She didn't like that, but she abides these pro-Hamas protests every week in Canada's major cities.
Let's keep going.
Freeland is no better than Trudeau.
Two sides of the same coin.
Keep her out of Canadian politics.
Actually, I hope she stays on in liberal politics.
And she says she's going to.
She's going to stay on as MP.
She should stay on as a reminder of what the Liberal Party is in case they try to rebrand themselves.
That's what I think.
Her speech, and I think the author of this means her post to X announcing her resignation was designed to make her look good, but don't buy it.
She does not care about Canadians, only herself and her power.
Yeah, I mean, she was told to deliver a very bad fall economic update.
And there's a reason for that.
She's the one who did it.
And so if it's bad and it's your work, you should have to deliver it.
She didn't like that.
She didn't like having to stick her name to that and then be told, okay, now you can go, Mark Carney's coming.
But Mark Carney wasn't coming.
Can you believe Justin Trudeau is that stupid?
Fires Freeland, causes a crisis, and Mark Carney wanted no part of it.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
He was outflanked by Freeland.
Although outsmarting, Justin Trudeau is not a difficult thing to do.
Okay, well, everybody, that's the show for today.
I can't wait to see what we all do in 2025.
Thanks to everybody who works behind the scenes to put the show together.
We'll see everybody back here in the same time and in the same place next week.
