Sheila Gunn-Reid, live from Davos at the WEF, accuses Justin Trudeau of being a "puppet" for figures like Christia Freeland (WEF board director) and Mark Carney (ex-Goldman Sachs, UN advisor), blaming his policies—carbon tax, immigration surges, and pipeline delays—for Canada’s inflation, housing crisis, and wage suppression. She ties Freeland to bank account freezes under the Emergencies Act and Carina Gould to silencing critics via the Digital Citizen Initiative while alleging Frank Bayliss profited from $4M ventilator contracts never used. Gunn-Reid warns conservative messaging must expose these failures, as Alberta’s oil exports—now threatened by U.S. tariffs—are vital to Canada’s economic survival, suggesting Trudeau’s WEF agenda risks deeper sovereignty and unity crises.

What do Rebel News viewers think about the liberal leadership race?
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
I should tell you today's show is pre-recorded, and there's a reason for that.
If you are watching this, I am currently at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Yes, friends, I am finally going to the headwaters of the bad progressive ideas that have flowed directly into our country over the last nine and a half years.
When Klaus Schwab said he penetrated cabinets around the world, boy, did he ever give it to us because we had Justin Trudeau, who is basically a puppet of brighter people, although he is just an empty progressive shell.
You could put whatever progressive idea inside of him and he would just barf it out the other side.
You know, multiculturalism, post-nationalism, feminism, you know, all that stuff.
That was Justin Trudeau, but all those ideas, they weren't his.
Do you think he has any brain cells to rub together to create a bad idea?
He just soaks up other people like a sponge.
And by and large, the other people's ideas came from the World Economic Forum.
We know that Christia Freeland, who was for so long Justin Trudeau's right-hand woman while she's on the board of directors at the World Economic Forum, and then Mark Carney, also vying to replace Justin Trudeau, he was a long time attendee at the World Economic Forum.
He is a bankster with the Bank of Canada, Bank of England, Goldman Sachs, and then he went on to the United Nations where he engaged in debanking large-scale energy projects.
So there's that.
Oh, he's also been Justin Trudeau's chief advisor on his COVID overspending and then more recently his just general economic overspending, which has caused an inflationary crisis here in Canada.
So that's where I am.
But because I am gone and I owe our viewers a show every single week, it's not your problem.
I'm gone.
I put a call out asking you guys what you thought.
So you sent me a pile of emails and I thought I'd go through them with you today.
Sound good?
Let's get right into it.
All right.
First one from Patrick Dennis L. Sears.
So Sheila, I believe I posted on the day that Trudeau removed Freeland from cabinet that it was all a setup to enable Freeland to play the victim and thus begin her trail to the liberal leadership.
Oh, you think Trudeau is playing 3D chess or 4D chess?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Again, I don't think he's that smart.
Although I think she might be that cunning.
I also, about the same time as he said he was going to step down with Crocodilian Tears, the husband and fellow leftist Mark Carney would also enter the race.
That Freeland is far more intelligent than Carney is not even debatable.
I don't think that.
But Carney has the deep staters behind him.
Having said that, I think Freeland will come out on top.
Do you?
Of course, they and the NDP will play the boogeyman card of Trump, already happening, to persuade Eastern voters who share a dislike for anything American, and they'll eat it up, which in the general election will cause Polyev some grief, but he will still win from your lips to God's ears.
Keep up the good reported Sheila.
Only Rebel News and the Western Standard are worthy of a reader's time.
Well, thank you so much.
Perhaps the Toronto Sun on given days.
Look, we love Joe Warmington.
And then Patrick sends me his email.
Lauren J. Fortune says, I have a very bad feeling that Carney will win the election.
Do you think?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I think it comes down to conservative messaging.
I hope I'm wrong, but I live in Toronto.
I'm surrounded by woke communists.
Take care of Lauren.
I feel for you.
I'm not sure, though, because of all the places in this country hit by the affordability crisis, the worst I think would be Vancouver in Toronto.
You can't get a shanty in Toronto for the cost of my entire farm here in Alberta.
It's astounding.
I don't know how young people make a go of it in Toronto.
I don't know how young people think that they are going to have a family, maybe have a vacation, have a car in Toronto.
I just, I don't know how it's done.
And then have a little bit of money left over for savings or fun.
I just don't know.
So I think the conservatives must communicate to the rest of the country those bad ideas that Trudeau forced upon us that led to our affordability crisis.
You know, the carbon tax, overspending, driving inflation, driving our dollar down, not able to get pipelines built, which robs the government of revenue, all those things.
Oh, yeah.
And the immigration crisis that has driven down wages and up the cost of housing and puts a burden on our healthcare system.
Those were Mark Carney's ideas.
Those were Christy Freeland's ideas by way of Mark Carney.
So they have to do a really good job of reminding people that Mark Carney is not different.
In fact, he's the brain trust that got us into these problems.
And how is he to fix them?
Right?
Like, he's got the Kamala Harris problem.
How do you be the person to fix the damage done to the country if you're the person who did it?
Right?
So, I hope you're wrong.
I think the conservatives have already started communicating that, you know, that carbon tax that's crushing you, that's Carney's.
You know, the overspending that is driving up inflation and driving down the dollar?
Carney.
Val says, I don't believe any of the liberals will be able to fix Canada's issues.
I believe all of the liberals played a major part in this mess we were in.
We need to clear the house.
Yes, exactly.
And I think Canadian voters feel that way too.
I think at the end of the day, again, it's the same issue in Canada as was in the United States in the election we just watched.
Are you better off today than you were nine years ago or four years ago or 2021?
And I think Canadians, by and large, are not.
You know, there are very few well-connected people and government employees could be better off, but the rest of us who pay for those people, we're not.
Our dollar is collapsing.
We're in tariff and trade wars because nobody knows how to behave themselves and act diplomatically with the incoming American administration.
They're just all prickly and fighty.
Apparently, it's patriotism to burn down your economy.
That's what they're telling Alberta.
Even though we provide roughly 550,000 jobs to the rest of the country, the liberals are doing that.
And I think there's, I don't think the liberals can get around that problem.
You did this to us.
You should not be allowed to fix it.
Marie says, none of Trudeau's clowns, oops, my apologies, clones, will make any difference.
I don't think you're sincere in your apology.
They will only continue on with Trudeau's plans.
They are a selfish, condescending government.
You better believe that.
Alberta's finding that out right now.
We need an election, ASAP, and elect the conservatives in order to save this country, which continues to go downhill at a faster rate every day.
This gong show is in office.
Thank you.
Yeah, I believe that too.
I think, especially with this tariff war coming in from the United States, we have somebody who is thinking he should be the point man for the issue, Justin Trudeau, who is not running again in the next election, has resigned as prime minister, but we're in the middle of a long goodbye, and the liberals are in the middle of a leadership race.
Nobody has a mandate to deal with Trump.
Could we call an election?
The liberals can sort out their BS after.
That's not their issues with their leadership.
That's not the country's problem.
And the country is headed for crisis as I'm recording this in three days because I'm recording this on the 17th.
All right.
Bill says the Liberal Party has put Canada on hold while they try to reorganize.
They should be completely removed from the political landscape in Canada.
How does our governing documents allow this?
Well, it is a quirk of the parliamentary democracy system that by default, the leader of the party with the most seats is the prime minister.
And that person actually doesn't even have to be an MP.
Trudeau is quick to state we have no national identity.
Exactly.
So why is he so concerned about Donald J. Trump fixing this train wreck?
They are pretty quick to steer away from the illegals coming across the U.S. border with the thoughts of terrorism.
Trudeau and the liberals should be sued for every nickel they have worsted from this country and be tried for crimes against humanity.
You know what?
I think the best we can do is just unelect them and not let these people near the levers of power ever again.
Now, I'm an Albertan.
We will never let them near the levers of power if we have our way.
But the way things work, it's not up to us.
I find it fascinating, however, that the rest of the country is just figuring out how unfair the Westminster parliamentary democracy system can be.
Albertans have known this for a long time.
For us, so often the election is over by the time the votes are cast in Toronto.
We can vote conservative.
So deeply blue that we cannot vote conservative any harder.
Some of our writings are coming back like 80% conservative.
And we still get saddled from, you know, Winnipeg west to the lower mainland of British Columbia.
We're blue.
But we are governed by liberals.
And that's a quirk of the parliamentary system that we have been forced to live with for a very long time.
And now this is another quirk of our system.
All right, let's keep going.
Rayan says, I want an election right now and will not be voting for any of the clowns in the liberal circus.
I hope a lot of people feel the same way.
Terry says, I know there are some die-hard liberals that will support another leader.
I prefer to get the liberals out of power as they will continue with Trudeau's policies.
Why Liberals Must Go00:14:35
Yeah, and, you know, like, look at the top contenders.
I forgot to mention Frank Bayliss right off the top.
I don't know how much of a contender he is, but he will have no problem coming up with the $350,000 as his entrance fee into the leadership race.
Why?
Well, it has a little something to do with the quarter of a billion dollars worth of ventilator contracts he got untendered from the Canadian government.
Frank Bayless was an MP for the Liberals up until 2019.
Pandemic hits, 2020.
Guess who's got a medical supply company?
Guess who gets cast to make ventilators?
Bayless Medical.
Guess who's making never tested, never approved ventilators?
Frank Bayless.
And the Bayless ventilators were about $10,000 more a pop than other ventilators.
And guess whose ventilators got sold for scrap at $6 a pop?
So $23,000, $24,000 they cost each.
They were sold for scrap.
Never used.
About 900,000 of them were shipped to Ukraine as surplus.
Just like, here's a donation.
You might need these.
Good luck trying to use them.
They're untested.
Who knows if they work?
And in the middle of this, for unused ventilators, Bayliss Medical got a $4 million contract for maintenance on ventilators that were actually never used.
So it's a cute little thing he did.
He was the first one in.
Again, because he obviously had no problem coming up with the money.
He's got lots of R's.
And then Carina Gould is set to announce.
So, you know, the woman who weaponized the Digital Citizen Initiative to fund people to malign the critics of Justin Trudeau, called the Freedom Convoy far right while she's having her picture taken with Yaroslav Hunka, a real-life geriatric Nazi in the House of Commons.
Can you imagine the gall of that woman?
And then we'll have Christy Freeland, who assaults journalists and just burned through our money like it was going out of style and cackled as she froze the bank accounts of protesters, peaceful dissidents in their own nation's capital.
And then we'll have Mark Carney, the guy who debanks energy projects for funsies.
Justin Trudeau's chief advisor on COVID, the guy who called the Freedom Convoy seditionists and who wanted to track down the money of the Freedom Convoy.
And then Christy Freeland did that, if you're wondering where the bad ideas come from.
He called them seditionists and then said to follow the money.
So she invokes a counterterrorism law, a sedition law, Marshall law, the Emergencies Act, and freezes the bank accounts.
See how that happened there?
And he, more recently, has been Justin Trudeau's advisor on economics.
Well, you saw the fall economic statement, how terrible it was.
That was him.
That was him.
Now he's the guy to fix things.
Anyway.
Yeah, I don't think.
All that is to say, if you are dissatisfied with the cronyism of procurement contracts going to the likes of McKinsey, Bayliss, Randy Boasno's GHI arrived scam, and on The Green Slush Fund, well, then Bayliss is your man.
If you want more of that, sorry, I should say, if you're a liberal and you want more of that, Bayliss is your guy, right?
Because he's a beneficiary of that too.
I mean, who's going to endorse him?
Randy Buasno?
Actually, I think he's endorsing Freeland.
There's an endorsement you want.
And then there's Christy Freeland, who has been Justin Trudeau's right-hand woman, whose son's godfather is Mark Carney.
And then there's Mark Carney, who advised Trudeau on the two largest issues in the last five years and advised him to mishandle them.
Oh, and he's running as an outsider.
He's running as an outsider.
Can you imagine the gall?
Louise sends kind words.
She says, You're the best.
God bless.
Keith says, Stupid is as stupid does.
The budget will balance itself.
Trudeau's famous phrase must be music to the genius confidants Gerald Butts, Christy Freeland, and the amazing book and tax balancer Mark Carney.
Spending more than all the other prime ministers combined and overpopulating this country with immigrants has been their greatest achievement.
He and the rest of his entourage would be well advised to hang up their coats and say goodbye to their authoritarian regime as nobody is buying their excuses for ruining this country and creating the disaster we are all living with right now.
Yeah, I forgot the Gerald Butts connection too.
Gerald Butts works at Eurasia Group, who also gets untendered contracts from the federal government.
Gerald Butts is Trudeau's best friend and he was an advisor in the PMO.
You know who works at the Eurasia Group?
Mark Carney's wife, who is also friends with Ghylaine Maxwell, noted sex trafficker, Gheelane Maxwell.
Like, it is all so incestuous for these people to paint themselves as hope and change.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
They're the same.
As I said before, Trudeau's the empty vessel, and all these people poured their dumb ideas into him and then he just did it.
And I guess, I guess, if the liberals choose Carney, they're just cutting out the middleman.
It's the only efficient thing they might have ever done.
Bob says, get rid of Trudeau and get rebel news on the TV.
I'll tell you why we are never going to be on the regular TV.
Because first of all, a lot of people don't consume TV there anymore.
Older people do.
I get that.
That's why the demographic that watches Fox News is substantially older than those who watch us.
And I guess if you want to talk to the young people, because politics is downstream of the culture and we want to change the culture, people who change the culture are generally younger.
We need to talk to them where they get their news.
And that is on the internet.
So there's that.
And that is why Trudeau wanted to censor the internet, right?
Get that?
But if we are on regular TV, we are subject to certain controls.
There are certain things that we cannot say.
And so we, and it is very expensive to be on regular TV.
First of all, you'd have to have cable.
Well, everybody's got a phone and most people have internet, but not everybody has cable.
I don't have cable.
I have internet.
I have Starlink.
Hi, I'm talking to you thanks to Elon Musk.
And then I just stream everything.
So it's just the freer, cheaper way of doing things.
And if we were on regular TV, I think we would actually be in fewer people's homes.
It costs me $1.70 a liter, $7.60 a gallon for diesel.
I've been on pension for 28 years and everybody wants money.
Wow, hope Trump gets things better.
If you don't know where you are, Bob, but if you are in the eastern part of this country, so let's say Ontario and Quebec, those gas prices, those diesel prices are going to go up if Justin Trudeau, the Liberals, and for some ungodly reason, Rob Ford, Doug Ford, sorry, not Rob.
Rob's the good one.
Doug Ford gets his way.
Because they want Alberta to self-immolate, burn ourselves down to heat the rest of the country.
They want us to cut off oil exports to the United States to stand with Team Canada.
Well, the best thing we can do for Canada is to continue to sell oil and gas to the United States at a reduced rate, but that's a whole other story because of the jobs and economic wealth that it generates, not just here in Alberta, but for everybody.
Because if we want to survive these incoming Trump tariffs, and you better believe they're coming, we need at least one sector that's working.
And we're just not willing to self-immolate because Doug Ford wasn't cagey enough to go to Mar-a-Lago and have Daniel Smith, who apparently has a very good relationship with the incoming Trump administration, to broker a meeting.
He wasn't smart enough to do that.
He instead saddled up to Justin Trudeau.
But my point is, if we cut off the oil and gas to the United States, which we are never going to do, we'll see in court.
That also cuts off line 9 and line 5, which is how Quebec and Ontario get a share of their oil and gas because those go through the United States, from Alberta, through the United States, and then back up to Ontario.
And so if you cut off exports to the United States, you don't get oil and gas.
This is the unintended consequences of their jingoistic version of patriotism.
I guess, you know what?
They were going to phase out our oil and gas anyway.
This is just another way for them to try to get it done.
But we're like before, we're having none of it.
Maureen says, I'm so sick of the liberals.
Can't Ottawa just give Selut Singh his pension early and every liberal loser and then just make Pierre Polyev prime minister?
Why drag this on?
I'm so sick of the liberals blaming everything on the conservatives when in fact the liberals have been in government for way too long already.
Plus, I'm so sick of all the illegals getting more money than Canadians that are born and raised here.
That's my problem.
I'm not against immigration.
I'm for controlled immigration that benefits our economy.
But when we have illegal migrants flooding across our border and then temporary foreign workers coming in, because apparently now the liberals are for a slave underclass, I thought they were against that stuff.
It drives down our wages.
It burdens our health care system, drives up the cost of housing.
We just can't keep up.
If you took all the temporary foreign workers away, it would fix completely youth unemployment in this country.
And then there's the scam of the foreign students.
They come here, they never attend school, school, a lot of them are fake, and then they get here and claim refugee status.
Nope, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
Get, get, get, get.
We don't need you.
It's a liberal loophole that they are against closing because, well, those people they think will vote for Justin Trudeau eventually or whoever is the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
All right, one more.
Gary Classen says, his replacement cannot be allowed to assume the prime minister's position.
Oh, they will.
However, briefly, they will.
That's just how it works.
PM has to be an elected person.
It does not.
Let me tell you a little story.
In Alberta, 2015, we had an unelected premier.
Yeah.
The progressive conservatives at the time, who thankfully no longer exist, they were absorbed by the Wild Rose and then rebranded as United Conservatives.
What was left of them?
They had been in power for 44 years.
And what happens after 44 years in power?
Everything in the province has been touched by them, right?
Every law firm, every consulting group, every just about every engineering firm, really.
Like, it was crazy.
They were the everything party, but as tends to happen, all the forces of the universe, well, not all the forces, but most of the forces of the universe dragged the PCs to the center and then to the left on some issues.
They were no longer really conservative.
They were like a pro-oil and gas liberal party, which is why the Wild Rose, a conservative party to the right of them, popped up.
And Allison Redford, who was our premier at the time, stepped down, resigned in shame because of a series of scandals, including something called Sky Palace and also using the government planes that we had, a couple of them, like minivans.
Why drive when you can just take a plane from Edmonton to Drumheller?
Anyway, she resigned.
The PCs ran a leadership race and they elected Jim Prentiss, who had previously been a Harper cabinet minister and actually a pretty conservative guy.
And I think it was his intent to bring the party back to the right, which was good, but he never got the opportunity to do that because the NDP won the election because of a fracture on the right between the Wild Rose and the PCs.
But this is a very long story.
Jim Prentiss Elected00:02:34
I'll get to the point.
Jim Prentiss was elected to lead the PCs, but he didn't have a seat.
So we had a premier who was not in our legislature.
It happens.
It happens sometimes.
Not a lot.
But when the leader resigns in disgrace, much the way Trudeau has, the way Alison Redford did, this is what happens sometimes when a leader from outside the party comes in.
So, anyways, I'll let go.
So Carney comes in and suddenly the World Health Organization decides to declare a pandemic.
Carney hands the country over to the World Health Organization, and during an emergency, he can put an election off for another year.
I don't think he needs to hand the country over to the World Health Organization.
He'll just do what they're advising him to do.
But I don't even think it's, I don't even think that's that complicated.
He could just say, like, oh, we're in an economic crisis because of tariffs.
He can do this for any reason.
It must be made law that a prime minister resignation results in an immediate federal election.
I wouldn't be against that.
Meanwhile, Trudeau lives on a tropical island off the billions he stole from Canada.
You know, he's wealthy as it is.
He comes from wealth, unlike the rest of us.
And he's got well-connected, rich friends, including Mark Carney.
So Trudeau's going to be fine.
He'll be just fine.
You know what?
I've got to wrap it up here.
Why?
It's Friday, and I've got to head into the Friday live stream, which airs Friday at 11 Mountain 1 Eastern.
It's also on Monday, and I think we're going to test out a midweek one too going forward just because there's so much news: tariff crisis, sovereignty crisis, or rather, a unity crisis, as Premier Daniel Smith calls it, unfolding and terrorism across the world.
So a lot of news to talk about, and we want to talk about it with you.
So anyway, if you can't get enough of me, and I feel like you might be able to get enough of me, you can tune in to the live streams on Monday, midweek, and then Friday.
Okay, I got to wrap it up.
I got to get out of here.
Thanks for bearing with me on this pre-recorded show.
Tune into all of our coverage from the World Economic Forum and support our independent and rambunctious journalism from on the ground there by going to weafreports.com.
That's it.
See everybody back here in the same time, in the same place next week.
