Ezra Levant exposes the Liberal Party of Canada’s March 10 leadership vote as a potential sham, with Mark Carney winning despite only 150,000 verified votes out of 400,000 registered members—uniformly high (85-95%) across ridings, including Christia Freeland’s (188 votes) and Karina Gould’s (190 votes). Low turnout in candidates’ home districts (e.g., 64 votes in Meadow Lake) and foreign meddling concerns, tied to Carney’s Chinese passports and Brookfield ties, fuel skepticism. Former Liberal president Stephen LaDrew calls it a "coronation," not an election, with Trudeau-era rule changes centralizing power under Gerald Butts and Katie Telford. Listeners question Carney’s policies—like ignoring China’s 100% canola tariffs—and criticize Trudeau’s legacy, while others defend Canadian-American relations. The episode demands transparency, warning Carney’s leadership risks repeating past failures, and urges continued resistance for national integrity. [Automatically generated summary]
I want to take a deep dive into the leadership contest vote results for the Liberal Party.
And you might say, Ezra, that's boring.
We already know the winner.
We already know that almost 90% of the vote went to Mark Carney.
Okay.
And if that's all I knew, I wouldn't dispute it.
But I started going through riding by writing, and the vote is almost identical in every single writing in the country.
And I thought, that just can't be right.
Let me take you through it, and I think I'm going to blow your mind.
Before I do, let me invite you to get the visual version of this podcast.
I want to show you the statistics I'm reading from.
This is from the Liberal Party's own page.
You've got to see this with your own eyes to believe it.
Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe, and there you go.
Tonight, Mark Carney is selected as the new Liberal Party leader and the person who will be your Prime Minister, whether you like it or not.
It's March 10th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
What a weekend.
I'm not going to say it was a spectacle.
I'm not going to say it was spectacular.
It was actually sort of the opposite.
400,000 people had registered to vote for the Liberal Party leadership, but only 150,000 did vote or were allowed to vote.
The phrase that the Liberal Party uses is they were verified.
So if you have 400,000 who registered, but less, but only let's say approximately a third of them were permitted to vote, a lot of explaining is necessary.
I mean, if you had a vote for your local mayor and there were, let's say you were in a small town and there were 4,000 people who were registered to vote, and in the end, only 1,500 people were allowed to vote, or the rest were spoiled ballots or in some way disqualified.
So more were disqualified than were qualified.
You would have a lot of questions.
If it was 1 or 2%, no problem.
Such a strange factoid.
And then to learn that the proportion in every district was almost identical.
Too much there.
I want to show you my analysis in real time today on our live stream as I discovered some of these anomalies.
I'm going to talk a bit about that.
And then I'm going to interview my old friend Stephen LaDriu.
He was the president of the Liberal Party of Canada when it transitioned from Jean-Cretchen as the leader to Paul Martin.
There were very rancorous times back then.
But as you'll hear him tell me, even back then, things were more orderly and more serious than they are under Justin Trudeau.
And Mark Carney, let me speak candidly to you.
I do not trust the Liberal vote.
I don't know if there was foreign meddling or if it was just an inside deal.
I remember watching the leaders' debates between Frank Bayliss, Karina Gould, Christie Freeland, and Mark Carney.
And I thought, this isn't a debate.
This is already a done deal.
They're collaborating.
They're not competing.
They went and was trying to shoot at the frontrunner.
In fact, one of the most astonishing moments was when Mark Carney misspoke in French and said, we all support Hamas.
Obviously, he didn't mean that.
Christy Freeland corrected his French form and saved him from that instead of going in for the kill.
My point is, this was not a real election contest.
It was fake.
It was a selection.
It's the kind of thing that a World Economic Forum board member like Mark Carney is expecting in his life, things made easy for him, even easier than was made for Justin Trudeau.
Here, watch this extended excerpt from the live stream today as I take you through it.
And you tell me if I'm wrong.
And then on the other side, I'll introduce my friend Stephen Ladrudio.
Take a look.
268 abstained.
Hey, let's go through writing by writing.
I didn't see that.
Just scroll down a little bit.
Were there any districts?
Okay, that's, so it looks like we're in Newfoundland there.
Scroll down.
Let's go to, what's Christia Freeland's own district?
Is it university?
Is that what they call it?
There it is.
So scroll up to the very top.
I just want to see which category is which person.
So the very first name is Frank Bayliss.
So it's Frank Bayliss, then Mark Carney, then Christia Freeland, then Karina Gould.
So it is in alphabetical order.
You see that?
So the column on the left is Bayliss, Carney, Freeland.
So let's put up University Rosedale again.
So show that on the screen and just highlight that line.
So remember, the first number is Frank Bayliss.
He got 32.
The next number is Mark Carney, 1,322.
The next number is Christy Freeland, 188.
And then the last number is Karina Gould, 51.
Do you mean to say, are you seriously saying that in University Rosedale, Christia Freeland's own district, are you saying that Mark Carney walloped her by, like, what's that, six-fold?
Like by six times as many?
Let me do some quick math here.
You have 32 for Bayliss.
Forgive me, I'm just doing, I just can't believe this number.
1,322 for Carney.
What's that?
188 for Freeland and 51 for Gould.
That's a total of 1,593 in University Rosedale.
I find that credible.
So our hero, am I doing this wrong?
Jump in if I'm doing this wrong.
Bayliss Carney Freeland Gould.
So 188 divided by 1593.
Are you saying that Christia Freeland only got 11.8% of the vote in her own writing?
Only 188 people?
I'm sorry, I don't believe it.
I mean, I find Christia Freeland as unlikable as the rest of you do.
I don't believe it.
What's the district?
Let's check Karina Gould.
I think she's, Karina Gould, she's in the district of, oh, I just forgot.
I'm just looking it up here.
Burlington, that's right.
Can you find the Burlington numbers?
I'm put it on the big screen and we'll look for everybody.
So remember how it goes.
The first, this is alphabetical.
And Olivia, I'm counting on you to stop me if I'm doing it wrong.
So 22 for Bayliss, 818 for Carney, 47 for Freeland, and, well, 190, looks like, for Gould in her own district.
So, again, are you saying that four times as many people voted for Mark Carney as voted for Karina Gould?
And a politician and a cabinet minister in her own district can only muster 190.
In fact, can you scroll through this right now?
Is there a single district where Carney didn't come in first?
I'm just looking here.
Go to Brampton.
Let's see if this held in ethnically diverse, very diverse places like Brampton.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, let's do Brampton.
Yeah, either one.
Let's do Brampton West there.
Let's take a look.
So Brampton, for those of you who don't know, is sort of west of Toronto, and it's about 80 or 90% new Canadians.
A lot of Sikh community there.
So in Brampton West, and I'm just picking a district in Brampton.
So they have six votes for Frank Bayless, I believe it.
228 for Carney, 12, like almost single digits for Freeland, and just four for Gould.
So you're saying that in Brampton, that's all the votes there were.
Normally, the nominations there have thousands of people.
Scroll up to the very, very top.
I want to make sure I'm looking at the numbers right and that I understand what we're showing here.
Scroll up to the very top of the document.
Yeah, votes, and then they break down the votes into points, which is basically they turn it into a percentage.
What's the lowest place for Carney in the whole country?
Scroll down.
Let's just look at this together.
Look, he's getting high 80s and 90s in Newfoundland.
Keep scrolling.
And now we're in, yeah, Akadibathus.
So now we're in New Brunswick, high 80s and 90s.
Abatibi Bay, I think that's in Quebec.
Stop there for a second.
Go up just a touch.
So Abatibi, Bay James, Nunavik.
I think that's in the far north of Quebec.
Abbatibi Bay James.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's really in the far north.
Hold with me for one second.
Yeah, that's the huge, huge district that is so large.
It's this vast, vast northern place.
But do you see what I'm seeing there, Olivia?
16 people voted.
16, right?
12 for Carney, 3 for Freeland, and 4 for Gould.
You're saying only 16 people in that entire now, it's a very sparse place, but only 16.
I don't even know what to make of that.
Go to Calgary.
Can you type in Calgary?
I know we're spending a little bit of time on this.
Yeah, let's look at Calgary Heritage.
That's sort of a very conservative place in Calgary.
Yeah, the votes here are very similar.
Look at the percentage on the right there.
Yeah, he's just getting in the mid-80s here.
It's all so uniform.
Would you agree with me that it's all extremely uniform?
Like, is it really possible that in every single district, how can you have so little variation?
I'm just looking at that.
I'm just now I'm looking at the column the third from the right because understand, pause for a second.
So let me explain to you what these columns are.
The four columns on the left, put it back up for a sec.
Yeah, perfect.
The four columns on the left are the raw vote count, right?
So in Avalon, which is a beautiful part of Newfoundland, eight for Carney, 252, sorry, eight for Bayliss, 252 for Carney, 24 for Freeland, four for Karina Gould.
That's the raw votes.
Do you see it says that there, votes?
And then the next four lines, they've converted that into a percentage.
They call that points, which is just what it sounds like.
So if you want to quickly see the percentage of any candidate, you don't have to figure it out.
I foolishly did the calculations there a minute ago.
I didn't need to do the calculation because they sort of do the calculation for you, right?
So scroll down and tell me if this, you know, it's so weird.
The statistical likelihood of Mark Carney getting between 85 and 95, like, yeah, put that up and just scroll it.
Let's just scroll through it.
Like there's no, yeah, put it up on the screen and just scroll.
Are you telling me that in every single district from the west to the east, from the north to the south, that it's all within this tiny bandwidth?
86, 87, 86, 87, 86, 87, 86.
I'm sorry, I don't believe it.
Are you telling me that there was a grand total of it?
And no matter what the numbers are, like we showed you how few people voted.
Stop for a second there.
Look at that line.
I'm just picking a line at random.
Scroll up a tiny bit.
Scarborough North.
So few people voting there.
Do you see that line?
Five for Bayliss, 174 for Carney, 13 for Freeland, and 4 for Gould.
And wouldn't you know?
So that's such a small number.
If you know anything about Scarborough, that is a political place, especially for the Liberals.
What's the total vote there?
179, 189, 194.
Like less than 200 people.
Are you saying that less than 200 people in Scarborough voted?
I know Scarborough a little bit.
Scarborough Votes Shockingly Low00:02:27
I don't live there, but I know it a little bit.
And wow, what are the odds?
Mark Carney gets 88.78% there.
Keep scrolling.
Scroll down.
Let's just take a look.
No matter the city, no matter the town, rural, urban, north, south, francophone.
I just can't believe it.
I do not believe it.
And it's so, what are the odds?
I don't think this is statistically possible.
This is a one in a billion.
Like, I'm looking at that number of Carney votes as a percentage of points.
There's the odd one there.
Like, stop right there.
Battleford's administrative Meadow Lake.
I know that place.
That's sort of central western Saskatchewan.
So it does not surprise me that the grand total of voters was 64, 73, 78.
You see that?
Battleford's Lloyd Minster Meadow Lake.
Five people voted for Bayliss.
Who are they?
59 for Carney, nine for Freeland, and five for Karina Gould.
This is impossible.
Olivia, this is not real.
Those are not real numbers.
I do not believe that out of, I think there's 338 districts right now.
Let me check.
How many electoral districts in Canada?
I think there's 338.
That's expanding to 343, but I don't think that's what's in here.
Either way, let's say 340 districts, whatever it is.
We just scrolled through them all.
What is the statistical likelihood of every single riding, rural or urban, northern or southern, eastern or western, English or French, new Canadian or old stock, that every single one is within this tiny bandwidth on every, and the only places that are a tiny bit off are when the numbers are so small, they really couldn't be broken down differently.
Odds of 100 Heads in a Row00:07:32
That is, I call BS.
I haven't taken a statistics class since college.
I really enjoyed it, by the way.
What we witnessed there is, in my lay judgment, statistically impossible.
I'd like you to play a couple of minutes of the opening of one of the quirkiest movies I've ever seen.
It's called Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
Who are they?
Those are not Jewish names, even though they sound that way.
They're Danish names, I think.
And they're two minor characters in the play, Hamlet.
And so it was a fun Hollywood movie where they made the whole movie.
Who are these two characters in this Shakespeare play?
It was a very quirky movie.
And it was about 35 years ago.
You'll recognize Gary Oldman and Tim Roth, who have gone on to a great success in the theater.
Can I play for you this opening scene?
And you'll understand fairly quickly why I'm showing it to you.
ahead and play it it's a strange start to a movie but it gets stranger Take a look.
there's tim roth gary oldman um it's a coin Whoa.
They found a coin.
Is it a lucky coin?
What would happen if Mark Carney picked up that coin and tossed it?
Would it be heads or tails, do you think?
Hmm.
Heads.
Heads.
Okay.
Heads.
Oh, okay.
Heads.
Again.
Huh.
Heads.
Really?
Four times in a row?
Heads.
Oh, five times.
Heads.
Really?
That's quirky.
Heads.
Heads.
Mark Carney, 86%.
Heads.
Mark Carney, 85%.
Heads.
Mark Carney, 87%.
Heads.
Mark Carney, 90%.
Heads.
Mark Carney, 84%.
Heads.
Mark Carney, 85%.
Heads.
Mark Carney, 85.9%.
Heads.
Mark Carney, 86%.
Mark Carney, 92%.
Mark Carney, every time.
Heads.
Mark Carney.
What are the odds of a coin toss being heads 100 times in a row?
The answer to that is 1 over 2 to the power of 100, which is an incredibly small number.
But what are the odds, by the way, of the next one?
Let's say you had heads 100 times in a row.
What are the odds of the next one going heads?
The answer is actually still 50-50.
Now, I just said 2 to the 100th power.
What if you flip a coin 100 times and you get heads 100 times in a row?
The number wouldn't even fit on a calculator.
It would be so small.
But what if you did 338 districts?
And every single one, Mark Carney won by almost exactly the same margin, plus or minus a couple points.
What are the odds of that?
Well, what are the odds of getting heads in a coin toss 100 times in a row?
So small I can't even calculate them.
I'm going to calculate them to make my point here.
Two to the power of 100.
And then inverse that.
My calculator can't even help that.
can't even work on that.
But I think it's one over, it doesn't even fit on my calculator.
The number is so big, it takes up the whole screen of my calculator.
It's impossible.
It would be like not finding a needle in the haystack.
It would be like finding a needle in the galaxy, one over two to a hundred.
The odds of getting heads 100 times in a row are a grain of sand on our planet, finding one grain of sand.
What are the odds of Mark Carney getting 85% plus or minus five in 338 districts, even in Christia Freeland's hometown, even in Karina Gould's hometown?
Are you telling me that Christia Freeland could only muster 188 friends in University of Roseland?
Her board alone is 30 people.
Her personal staff, her family.
Are you telling me that there were only 188 people in her riding where she's been working tirelessly for a decade?
Are you telling me that?
I'm sorry, I don't believe it.
Go flip a coin 100 times in a row, and I'll believe that more than I believe this.
Or Karina Gould in Burlington.
Has Mark Carney ever been to Burlington?
Can he find it on a map?
Mark Carney lives in Ireland or New York or London.
I don't know where he lives.
I don't think he's ever been to Burlington in his life.
And are you telling me that he crushed Karina Gould in her hometown where her friends are, where her family is, where her neighbors are, where her staff are?
Are you telling me, and with the same percentage?
Are you telling me Mark Carney's percentage is the same everywhere in the country, including in Christia Freeland's district and Karina Gould's district?
Oh, and I'm also supposed to believe, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
But by the way, we've disqualified two-thirds of the votes.
And by the way, we're not telling you who disqualified them or how.
And by the way, we do acknowledge that foreign nationals are allowed to participate and children as young as 14.
Election Last Night Secure00:02:55
But trust us, this is a secure and robust process.
And you know that because we just sent out an email about that.
Not that we're a little worried about you thinking, but we're just going to lead with that.
Hey, everybody, we had an election last night and it was really secure.
Have you ever heard anyone say that in your life?
Hey, how did the election go last night?
What happened in the election last night?
Well, it was really secure, guys.
Really?
Hey, welcome to Canada.
Do you have anything to declare at the border stop?
Yeah, officer, I'm definitely not smuggling drugs.
We didn't say you did, brother.
Hey, last night the Liberal Party had a very secure and robust election.
You did, did you?
For Mark Carney, a globalist man no one's ever heard of until 10 minutes ago, who has three different passports, who works closely with China.
And when he was the chair of Brookfield, had a lot of dealings in China.
And do you think China and their cyber force, do you think they have the ability to crack the Liberal Party of Canada's top-notch security?
Or just maybe.
But look at how dumb they did it.
Like, not a single riding did Mark Carney do poorly in.
Well, I've been doing TV for a while before Rebel News.
There was the Sun News Network.
And one of the fun things I did even before that was I was on a debate panel, sometimes on CTV, later on Global News, with a counterpart on the more progressive end of the spectrum.
Stephen LaDri was the party president of the Liberal Party of Canada.
And back then, a scruffy right-winger like me was still allowed in polite company.
So they let me go on TV and it turned into a bit of a thing.
In fact, Global Sunday, as the show was, we had weekly debates.
I loved it.
That was before cancel culture kicked in.
That's before the internet fragmented everything.
Those were the days.
I was thinner and I had more hair.
Well, what a delight to be joined by my sparring partner.
You might know him by his other work on the internet.
He's a bit of an internet guy, too.
He has something called the LaDrew three-minute interview, which is a great way to do it, especially for people like me with short attention spans.
And he just started a new show on the news forum called Very Creatively, The Stephen LaDrue Show.
Joining me now is my old friend Stephen LaDrew.
Great to see you, my friend.
It's been far too long.
It has been far too long, but you mentioned to your audience that you and I were sparring partners.
Ezra, it's taken me this many years just to recover from being beaten up by you.
Every Sunday night, I would go home to my family and they say, Why do you do this?
You come home completely beaten up, dejected.
That Ezra guy got you a game.
Stephen LaDrew Show: Political Trivia00:15:36
Oh, come on.
I mean, someday, someday, someday I may beat him up.
But in the meantime, we had some great shows and great distinctions of differences of opinion, and it was a lot of fun.
And those were the days when you could have differences of opinion on network TV, which is disallowed now.
If you have an opinion that's not, as you well know, Ezra, that is not followed by the president or the vice president of communications, whether it be CTV, global, or TVC, you're not on TV anymore.
So I'm glad to be on your station.
Well, thank you very much.
And you're so right about that.
Now, I remember when you were the president of the Liberal Party, it was going through an interesting metamorphosis.
Jean-Cretchen wanted to stick around, and there was the rivalry with Paul Martin.
And then the final transition was quite a bumpy ride.
It was pretty bumpy this time, too.
I mean, when Christian Freeland quit on the day of the budget update and sort of detonated things in Justin Trudeau's lap, I mean, he was having a tough go of it, but that was a very dramatic moment.
What did you think as a former Liberal Party president?
What went through your mind as you saw those final machinations of Freeland and Trudeau, and now in comes Carney?
I mean, that was a heck of a moment.
Very much a very dramatic moment, as you put it, Ezra, but it's very, very different circumstances.
When Kretchen was leaving, I had the great benefit of a Liberal Party that was a party, that was liberal, and there was a constitution.
And I've been a lawyer for years and years and years, and I simply followed the constitution.
And some advisors for both Kretchen and Mr. Martin did not like that.
They wanted to go their way.
So it was difficult, but I had the law of the party in front of me.
That law has now been changed.
In fact, it was changed by Mr. Martin's people because they didn't want anybody to do to him what he did to Kretchen with that constitution and the rules as to leaderships and what had to happen after an election.
So this is very, very different.
Some people say they look at my show and they say, well, you're no longer a liberal.
I am a liberal.
The Liberal Party, as is formed right now, is more of the Justin Party.
The executive is not what it used to be.
The rules are not what they used to be.
Everything has to change.
I'm in total agreement with that.
The president of the party works, is paid for by a cabinet minister.
And you look at the cabinet.
You look at cabinet.
We are going through a huge change in this country, Ezra.
We used to have government, parliamentary government by cabinet.
There were cabinet ministers who were solid and competent and they knew their business.
There's nobody in this cabinet, of Trudeau's cabinet, who knows their business or who their business.
One or two were okay, but not like with Harper's cabinet or Mulroney's cabinet or Cretchin's cabinet.
We have had a one-man ban in Ottawa for the last number of years.
And well, let me correct that.
A one-man ban as far as the public is concerned.
And there's a few people who run the government.
You know them as well as I do, Katie Telford, Gerald Butts.
And now that expanded in the last few years to include Mr. Carney and Mr. Carney's wife, who is, by all accounts, a very smart woman.
And she works for Eurasia in New York City, which is a company that Mr. Butz runs.
And they receive big lucrative contracts from the Canadian government.
So instead of having a broad-based party run by a 52-person executive with writing associations across the country, and quite frankly, sometimes those were writing associations and all those thousands of liberals, card-carrying, paid members of the party, were a pain in the butt to the government.
And that's what they were supposed to be.
That doesn't happen anymore.
While running the show, they want to continue running the show.
And they engineered the voting so that, I mean, look, you and I have seen, your audience have seen more people voting for a college student president council than voted for the prime minister of Canada this past weekend.
This was a very, very in-house shop.
They've got their guy.
And if he is, if he's elected in a general election, we will have another government like we've had for the last 10 years run by the same people.
They have their views.
They have their ways of dealing with it.
I don't know if you want to go into all policy things, Ezra, but I mean, they want to run Canada the same way they've run Canada for the last 10 years.
It's the same people.
You're so right.
Let me bring to your attention one specific district because over the weekend, I saw that the Liberals had 400,000 people register to vote.
Now, you didn't have to pay.
You just had to register.
And only 150,000 were verified and qualified.
So almost two-thirds of the voters were not allowed to vote.
But I just, I started today to go, the Liberal Party has published the district by district results.
And there's something very quirky about it.
And I want to run it by you.
In every single district, all 338, Mark Carney had 89.6% of the vote, plus or minus five.
French Canada, English Canada, the North, the South, rural, urban, Indigenous, like rural, or like really, the statistical deviations were minimal.
And it's astonishing, like not a, let me read you one particular district.
Maybe you've heard of it.
It's called University Rosedale.
It's a riding that for many years, Christy Freeland has called home.
I think her family is there.
Her friends are there.
Her staff are there.
Let me give you the result from University Rosedale, okay?
I'll start by giving it to you statistically, the percentage.
Christia Freeland in her home turf got 11.8%.
And Mark Carney in University Rosedale got 82.99%, which is just a few points different than he got in every single other district.
But now let me turn that into raw numbers, okay?
Because I just gave you the percentage.
But in University Rosedale, where this woman lived, just her friends and her family and her personal staff, is it believable, Stephen, that a grand total of 188 people voted for Christy Freeland?
And by the way, I can do the same thing in the district called Burlington.
That's where Karina Gould, another cabinet minister who came in third or fourth.
And let me give you the stats there.
Is it believable that she only got 190 votes, just two different from Christia Freeland?
And there's Mark Carney with 76% of the votes.
So again, statistically, a couple points more, a couple points less.
Do you believe, I mean, I don't particularly like Karina Gould or Christia Freeland.
That's not my point.
My point is, is it true?
Is it credible that 10 years of work and friendships and community relations, that neither of these young women can even get 200 votes in their district of 100,000 each?
Every riding is like this.
Every single one is like this.
And I call BS.
It's strange credulity that that would be the case.
But you pointed out the facts.
And to think that that was just by happenstance.
I saw it in one of the mainstream papers this morning that they're starting to get onto this, as you have so accurately pointed out.
Hard to believe that Christia Freeland would lose so badly in her own riding.
Well, it's more than hard to believe.
It just doesn't happen.
You don't have a cabinet minister in a riding for 10 years and have her lose her own support in the riding.
There are, and when at the outset of this, Ezra, you were talking about the numbers who were registered to vote.
When the prime minister announced that he was going to retire, there were 100,000 members of the Liberal Party.
When they cut off, there were 400,000 members of the Liberal Party.
So somebody been out there doing some pretty fast work in four weeks, getting 300,000 members of the party.
You don't have to sign anything.
You don't have to pay.
They were just there as a party.
And then there are problems as to whether, in fact, these were actual people, citizens, dogs or cats or hamsters, and how many were going to vote.
Well, we know now the total of the vote, but we also know that there are people in Ottawa, Canada 2020, these wonderful think tanks that the Prime Minister Trudeau has fostered, has benefited from.
And I don't know how they would do it.
I'm not a computer expert, as your assistant just found out when we were trying to set up the Zoom call.
But these were not people who came out and stuck a ballot in.
And that there's some similarity across the country, leads a problem.
But you know what?
Listen, Ezra, he is going to be the prime minister, Mr. Carney is.
And we've already seen that he is not going to run on the record of the last 10 years because they don't want, if they run on the record of the last 10 years, it's certain defeat.
You know that.
I know that.
1984, John Turner, fresh person, he lost horribly because people didn't want, they didn't want that liberal government.
1993, Kim Campbell, again, fresh face, new leadership.
She lost horribly.
They didn't want that conservative government of the last few years.
People, unless they have rocks in their head, Ezra, they don't want the same kind of liberal government that has strangled Canada, that has tortured Canada economically, that has left Canada in its wake in the world.
They don't want that same government.
So this government right now, with Carney in there, Ezra, is saying, oh, the real big issue of the next election is going to be who can handle Trump.
Trump's made it easy for them.
Let me just say, you know, I was just thinking, I appreciate the wisdom when you said it's strange credulity, because you're not saying, because neither of us know for a fact what happened.
But I mean, I remember when I was just 20 in Alberta, there was the Ralph Klein revolution, and there was a primary, there's a leadership vote.
And in the first ballot, I don't know if you remember this, Stephen.
There was a woman named Nancy Betkowski who got 16,393 votes.
And Ralph Klein got 16,392 votes.
He lost in the first round by a single vote.
What are the odds of that?
Well, it was just the first ballot.
So, every guy with a pickup truck and a ball cap said, Oh my gosh, that was me because I didn't go and vote.
And the best thing that ever happened to Ralph Klein was losing by one vote in the first round.
So, all his guys came out and he smoked it in the second round.
It's a little bit of political trivia from the age before the internet.
So, is it yeah, is it possible in 2025 that you have this almost perfect distribution of Mark Carney votes?
I mean, it's possible, but boy, I think we need an audit.
And the reason I say that is this person is immediately being installed as prime minister.
I just hear what you're saying about him wanting to run against Trump.
Who would like him?
I mean, is it possible that this was hacked?
Yes, it was possible.
Neither you nor I know if that happened.
Who were the two-thirds that were disqualified?
Neither you nor I know.
But I just, and I don't think it's being a conspiracy theorist to say, Whoa, we need to like we always check votes, we always have scrutineers, we always have a certification.
That's not being conspiratorial, it's just you have checks and balances because it's such an important thing.
I just want to see the backup, I just want to see, you know, I want to see their work, so to speak.
I don't know, you know, I'm just more and more alarmed by these results the more I look at it.
I do not believe that Christia Freeland only has 187 friends plus herself after 10 years of political work.
I don't believe it.
I'm sorry, Stephen, I'm rambling a bit, but I just all I can think about is how unlikely this is, and it terrifies me because that suggests something awful is happening.
Well, you're articulating it very thoroughly, Ezra.
And over the next days, more of this will come out.
You're on the forefront of it right now.
But when you talk about scrutineers, whether you are in a general election and you have liberal, conservative, NDP scrutineers, they're always looking at what's going on with the other guys' vote to make sure that the vote is honest.
This has been the most bizarre leadership.
You look at those debates, there are four people up there.
Did they try to cut each other a new breathing hole?
Did they try to destroy the other candidates?
No, not at all.
It was a love-in-a happy game.
This was a love-in.
You're absolutely right.
So, in a and also in a proper leadership, in the leadership battles, you know, Kretchen, Turner, Kretchen, Martin, there were scads of people, living people, on either side saying they were watching, they were watching to make sure there were no shenanigans, right?
Sure, there's no fight that was going on.
Right?
I don't know, but I doubt very much whether the three candidates who did not win the liberal leadership had a whole bunch of scrutineers out there.
And how do you have a scrutiny on a computer vote?
Like, what is scrutinizing the integrated circuit?
Like, on the semiconductor, how do you scrutinize a computer vote?
I don't even know.
I don't know either, but I'm sure that some computer people would know that.
But the point is, I don't even think the attempt was made.
So, this was a coronation.
It may have been a coronation that was entirely illegal.
And the evidence that you've just brought out, Ezra, would make one think, holy cow, there's something stinky about this because you can have one coincidence, but to have 300 coincidences across the country is that is that's bigger.
That's more than a coincidence.
That could be a conspiracy.

Boy.
And I don't want to get too far out here because, you know, there could be an excellent explanation.
There could be an explanation of some sort.
We just haven't heard it yet.
I don't want to get too far out there.
I don't want to be, you know, a quote, a denier.
But I feel like I'm the opposite.
I want proof.
And I think given that no Canadian citizens, I mean, this was an internal Liberal Party vote that allowed people as young as 14 to vote.
I wasn't asked to vote, but I'm getting a new prime minister that no one in the country has ever voted for.
I think we deserve to get some answers on this.
That's why we've set up a website at auditcarney.com.
I think we need it.
My friend, it's great to catch up with you.
Give me one final word.
What are you going to be looking for in the weeks ahead?
Do you think he's going to go to an election quickly, or do you think he's going to try and have as many months in office as he can to build up a reputation as a prime minister before he goes to the polls?
What do you think?
I think he is vulnerable as a retail politician.
And we saw that a little bit throughout the campaign.
Well, you know, he doesn't answer questions honestly, the whole thing about whether he knew about Brookfield.
He said, I didn't know about Brookfield being to New York.
And then a day later, somebody says, well, yeah, you signed a letter about the computer chips.
Well, that great business in Canada computer chips.
Well, we don't have a business in Canada computer chips.
There's many, many times when he showed that he is a bureaucrat.
He is not a retail politician.
So my betting is that they're going to go to the polls as quickly as possible.
Well, that if he was prime minister for six months, wait until next fall, he's going to have all kinds of luggage.
And it's not going to be nice luggage.
So they want to get out there quickly and have him established as this genius, world-class, as he himself said to a British interviewer, I am an elitist who knows how things run with the world.
They want to get that out there.
And they also want out there quickly, I think, Dezra, while Trump is out there.
We don't know what Trump's going to be doing in much less tomorrow, as in four months.
So they want Trump to be able to run Carney against Trump so that they don't have to worry about the record of the last 10 years.
Because if somehow Canadians smart enough and say, yeah, we didn't like that.
And notwithstanding that, you're telling us a new tale right now, we still aren't going to vote for you.
Then that's not what the Liberals want.
They want a whole fresh page.
So I think sooner rather than later.
And maybe you'll invite me back on.
We'll have some predictions because the NDP are in very rough shape too.
The Greens are nowhere.
Right.
So it's going to be the two.
Wow.
Well, it's great to catch up with you, my friend.
It's always nice to see you.
The show is called the LaDrux Three-Minute Interview.
I love it.
And you're also now on the news forum, which is a TV channel.
And the show there is called The Stephen LaDrue Show.
Thanks for catching up with me.
It's really nice to see you.
Thanks for being so friendly.
And we'll talk to you again soon.
And I'm also on the Rebel News as of now.
That's right.
There you go.
There he is.
Good to see you.
Bye.
Well, stay with us.
your letters to me next.
Well, that's my friend, Steve Lindrew.
He's He's great.
Hey, I have a few letters from you.
Let me read them to you.
The first is from Abby Normalbrain, who writes about our interview with Joel Pollack about the tariff war and says, still wondering what is being done about China's latest tariffs.
Nothing mentioned about Chinese products being removed from the shelves.
Oh, that is such a good point.
Donald Trump puts on 25% tariffs and the whole world is up in arms with some reason, but 100% tariffs from China, especially targeting the canola industry, and not even a tweet from our prime minister, let alone bans or boycotts.
It sort of tells you who really is the boss up here, doesn't it?
Another letter, this one from Edward Farkas, who says, can you imagine if Trump had a news briefing and starts crying?
Of course not.
That's the difference between a man and a drab and queen manchild.
Trudeau is nothing more than history.
What makes Canadians happy is his legacy around the world is nothing more than a failure.
That's your legacy, Trudeau.
Great job.
Well, he did do a lot of damage to Canada.
Now, some damage is reparable, but I think he's let in so many people who do not belong in our country who hate Canada in many cases.
And that's a bell that's a little harder to unring.
In the United States, they're engaging in deportations.
I don't even know if that's enough.
The UK is getting worse than ever.
And I think that Mark Carney would be on that same path.
Final letter today is from Robert Tuss, who says, excellent interview.
I think he's talking about my chat with Joel Pollock.
I don't know of anyone here in the U.S. that feels any real animosity towards Canada.
I'm from Boston, and before I retired, I worked with many Canadians that would come to Boston to work in construction business, mostly ironworkers and carpenters, all good guys.
Well, I happen to know that in Halifax, with the terrible explosion, that World War II gunpowder ship basically exploding, killing countless people in Halifax, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history.
It was Boston that sent help, Boston that heard about the blast and sent men and equipment and material.
That was over a century ago.
So the bonds between Halifax and Boston are deep.
And of course, every Canadian city has a counterpart in the U.S. that's just as friendly.
Hopefully we can get past this.
My book, DealoTheCenturybook.com, I talk about a way that hopefully we can bridge the gap.
We'll see if that catches on.
I did some interviews today in the U.S. Hopefully some people will start being positive now that Trudeau is out of the way.
That's our show for today.
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
