Ezra Levant at Davos critiques Mark Carney’s pro-China "new world order" rhetoric, exposing Canada’s 80% U.S. export reliance and the absurdity of importing 49,000 Chinese EVs while ignoring sovereignty risks. His street confrontation with Justin Trudeau reveals evasive responses to censorship (C-63) and COVID-era trust issues, with Trudeau dismissing questions as "harassment." Levant also flags Eric Schmidt’s alleged real-time censorship proposal. In Alberta, separatist petitioners demand financial autonomy, citing $70B sent to Ottawa failing to secure hospital beds, exposing federal mismanagement and growing distrust of globalist agendas.

Tonight, big news from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
It's January 20th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
shame on you you sensorious bug oh hi everybody I'm filming this on my selfie stick.
As you can see, we're in the Airbnb in Switzerland.
There's Adi Amini, Benji Chung, and Lincoln Jay busy editing today's videos.
I'm not going to interrupt them, although my voice is probably distracting them.
They're pretty locked in on what they're doing.
We spent the entire day in Davos running around chasing VVIPs, and boy, did we ever catch them.
I tell you, Justin Trudeau himself, we bumped into him and in his new squeeze, the rock star Katy Perry, they were just walking down the promenade like nothing, and that's fine.
But you see, if they were in Canada and we approached them, police would stop us from asking questions.
Obviously, I want police to stop anyone from harming a politician.
I don't believe in violence at all.
But in Canada, police are used for other purposes.
They're used for political purposes.
And as you know, when our reporters ask questions of Justin Trudeau or Christia Freeland or any number of other high officials, they're at the very least arrested, sometimes roughed up a bit and sometimes taken to jail.
I myself was taken to jail briefly for a political offense.
It's very different here in Switzerland, which is very interesting to me.
There are police everywhere with serious weapons, I should tell you.
And there's even military out to protect the Davos World Economic Forum.
But they do not lift a finger if you're just scrumming a politician.
And I think Justin Trudeau forgot that.
I'll show you the video of the interaction we had.
Trudeau alternated giving me the silent treatment, gaslighting me by lying about something, or in a few cases, actually giving some sort of an answer.
I'll come to that video in a moment.
But first, I want to talk about the speech that Mark Carney gave at the World Economic Forum.
Isn't it funny that Mark Carney, Christia Freeland, Justin Trudeau, they were all here in Davos, as so many other Canadian politicians were.
I actually bumped into Francois-Philippe Champagne.
These are all World Economic Forum young leaders.
They're all trained and groomed here at this socialist globalist convention.
It's quite crazy when you think about it.
There's so many conspiracies out there about, well, who controls the world?
Is it the Freemasons?
Is it the Jews?
Well, I have to tell you, just from observation and their own confession, the World Economic Forum, they control a lot of things.
Or as Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum says, we have penetrated the cabinets.
Remember what he said that?
What we are very proud of now is the young generation like Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets.
So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I would know that half of this cabinet, or even more, half of this cabinet are for our actually young noble leaders of the World Economic Forum.
Well, Klaus Schwab is gone, but his successor is even worse.
It's Larry Fink, the boss of the $20 trillion asset management company, BlackRock.
It's incredible.
And I have to say, actually, this year's conference of the World Economic Forum is the largest ever, not just in terms of delegates who are attending, but in terms of speakers.
And listen, I have to give them credit.
Donald Trump himself is coming.
Javier Millé, Vladimir Zelensky, of course, is coming.
There's so many politicians, world leaders, NGOs, business people.
They've actually never been stronger, which is terrifying to me.
Now, I hope, and I think that Donald Trump is coming to lay down the law a little bit.
When he spoke to the World Economic Forum in his first term, he basically came to counter signal their messages on everything from freedom to the free market to American sovereignty.
So maybe he'll be doing a bit of that.
I don't know.
I have to say, one of the things on the minds and on the lips of delegates the past couple of days has been Trump's diplomacy and maybe his lack thereof in regards to Greenland and Denmark.
I even saw a U.S. senator named Chris Koons here who was blasting the president in public.
I mean, normally foreign policy disputes are handled within a country, but the Democrats and even some wobbly Republicans don't like what Trump is doing and are not afraid to share that with the world.
It's really a fascinating thing to observe.
But I want to show you Mark Carney's speech, because remember, Carney just spent a few days on his world anti-American tour.
I think that's the fairest way to describe it.
He went to Communist China and announced a new world order.
That clip is just incredible.
I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order.
He's not only starting an investment and trade relationship with Communist China, he's starting a police relationship, a security relationship, and says that we have a geopolitical agreement and partnership with China.
Anita Annan simply announced that we have a new foreign policy, just announced it.
No election over it, no vote, no debate.
I mean, this is the party, and this is the man, Mark Carney, who just a year ago said China is the number one security threat to Canada.
Here he is saying it.
Mr. Carney, well, we're in a security section.
I think we didn't have a chance to talk about anything internationally.
I think the biggest security threat to Canada is China.
Yeah, now he's signing up for a Chinese-dominated New World Order.
He's basically choosing the Chinese orbit rather than the American bloc.
And I know why he would say it.
In fact, that was the subject of his speech today.
He would say that the United States is behaving rather brutally.
And some of the networks and systems and treaties and NGOs and friendly rules that have been evolving over the last 80 years since the end of the Second World War, well, they don't really count anymore.
Now it's just raw power.
Okay, there's some truth to that.
But his remedy is, so therefore let us choose China.
Listen, I know things aren't going smoothly with the United States right now, and in particular with Donald Trump, but Trump is gone in exactly three years.
In fact, today, if I'm not mistaken, is the anniversary of his inauguration.
He's only got three years left.
And you want to completely realign Canada's orbit towards China, an authoritarian dictatorship, because you're offended by Trump.
Just incredible.
Here, let me show you a few excerpts from Carney's speech.
I'll just play a few minutes of these.
We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation.
It calls for honesty about the world as it is.
We are taking the sign out of the window.
We know the old order is not coming back.
We shouldn't mourn it.
Nostalgia is not the strategy.
But we believe that from the fracture, we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just.
This is the task of the middle powers.
The countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and a most to gain from genuine cooperation.
The powerful have their power.
We have something too.
The capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home, and to act together.
That is Canada's path.
We choose it openly and confidently, and it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us.
But you've just been to the other great power, to China.
And I think people are very intrigued by seeing that meeting.
And some people say, kind of, that's a mistake, really, because you're going to make yourself more dependent on China.
They're not that benign either.
The U.S. will be very annoyed.
What's the defense of what you're doing?
And what do you hope to get out of it?
Well, the first thing is to say it's not a defense.
It's an offense.
I know the way you frame the question, but it's offense.
It's building out.
It's something positive as opposed to against.
We're for something as opposed to being against.
The second is there are very clear guardrails in that relationship.
I spoke of calibration of relationships in my remarks.
That's what I mean by it.
But within those clear guardrails are huge opportunities in energy, both clean and conventional, obviously in motor vehicles, in agriculture, in financial services, all of which is mutually beneficial.
So it's additive.
And look, it's the second largest economy and it's our second largest trading partner.
We should have a strategic partnership with them within those guardrails.
And that's what we've achieved.
And it is an interesting reversal, though, because I think certainly during the Biden administration, there was this sense that the Western world was trying to decouple from China or de-risk at least.
And is now in this new world, that really going to go into reverse and de-risking from China because there are other risks is less of a thing.
You need, again, many in this room, this is their livelihood, you need a web of connections.
And to miss out in that web, some of the largest ones, United States, we already have that, China, India, Mercosur, European Union, that's a mistake.
That's not managing your relationships properly.
That makes you stronger.
It makes you more resilient.
And then on top of that, I'll give you again, I'll appeal since it's in the headlines to the Nordics.
Nordics plus Canada, it's 20% of global GDP.
It's not the first thing people would realize.
But that relationship, which is deepening for security reasons, because we're like-minded, those are the types of partnerships that I think we'll see more of.
You know, Carney speaks in an extremely boring way, and he uses boring language.
I mean, I just sort of have a checklist of, it's almost like you're playing Mark Carney bingo.
Does he say transformative?
Does he say catalyzing?
I mean, he has his own buzzwords just the same way Justin Trudeau did too.
My point is that you can say things in a boring and MBA kind of way that is still extremely radical.
And he's basically saying we little countries should band together and stop the big countries.
Separate doesn't really say that.
He says we little countries in the West should band together against America.
Not band together against anyone, not band together against everyone, not band together against China.
Let's push back against America was basically his message.
And we've talked before about how overwhelming America is in terms of foreign trade for Canada.
It's like 80% of our experts.
And China is way down there, basically tied with Japan and just ahead of the UK.
You simply cannot artificially redraw trading patterns, given that we are adjacent to the United States.
You may want to.
You may even think you're morally correct to do so.
But that's just not reality.
And saying that you're going to go your own way in terms of the military, that's just a pipe dream.
I mean, we barely have any tanks or aircraft that even work.
Whenever there's a threat in Canadian airspace, it's a U.S.-based fighter jet that responds.
That's not some future tense.
That's right now.
We have no defense over our north.
And that's one of the reasons why Trump is bellicose, both towards Canada and towards Greenland.
My point is, is Mark Carney, who's never actually done things.
He was a consultant.
He was at Goldman Sachs.
He was at the Bank of Canada, Bank of England.
I challenge you to tell me what those duties are without Googling them.
And then he was a chairman, not a hands-on executive, a chairman of an asset management company who just sort of went to conferences.
The guy is a good theoretician, but there is no way, even if you're morally right, that you can simply say we're not going to be in the American orbit anymore.
It just doesn't work that way.
China could have written his speech, I tell you, because it's such a naive speech, the result of which, if you were to follow it, would be to throw things in China's, you know, into China's jackpot.
I mean, is there anything more clear than the 49,000 Chinese-made electric vehicles that Carney just unilaterally ordered into Canada to the surprise and dismay of Doug Ford, the premier of the province, where there actually are car factories?
And that's the thing.
Carney is saying he's doing this to improve Canada's position in Canadian jobs, Canadian investment in Canada.
How is buying 49,000 made-in-China electric vehicles, how is that helping our auto industry?
How is that helping investment here?
It just doesn't make any sense.
But, you know, things really don't have to make sense for Mark Carney.
As long as he's whipping up anti-Americanism, he'll be fine in the next election.
Here's a few more clips from his speech today.
Sovereignty now is the ability to withstand pressure.
Isn't Canada almost uniquely vulnerable to pressure because of the extent of your trade dependence on the United States?
Well, the proof is that we have been able to withstand the pressure, and there has been considerable pressure.
I'll give you a couple of facts.
We've actually created more jobs since the tariffs were put on than the United States in absolute number.
Economy is growing at the second fastest rate within the G7.
There are pockets of extreme pressure without question in Canada.
But headline, we're reacting.
The second thing, and it's a fundamental point, is the recognition that we can give ourselves far more than any foreign country can take away.
There's lots of efficiencies in having one Canadian market, the trillion dollars of domestic investment, and building these partnerships abroad, all of which are bigger returns than what's been lost.
That's not to say we would rather not lose it, but we can withstand the pressure and we are.
And I was interested that you said basically the old world's not coming back.
So you're not seeing this as a period where you just have to get through a normal seaworld return.
New System Imperfectly Building00:02:45
I think that is our view.
And we regret it, but we're not going to sit around and mourn it.
We're acting.
And we're acting in a way, both it's in our interests, but we believe in a way with others that's building imperfectly in the steps a new system.
President Trump and a lot of people who agree with him condemn globalism a lot.
And I suspect, you know, you would be the kind of epitome of a globalist.
You know, you worked for Goldman Sachs, I believe.
You were a central banker.
You know, you're comfortable and lived in several countries.
Is globalism, first of all, is it a thing?
And is it Elvo?
I think, well, look, understanding how the world works, having appreciation for other cultures, understanding the connections, and being able to, or at least appreciating ways that how we connect, whether it's through technology, trade, investment, culture, can enrich our lives.
And that's a good thing.
And also help solve problems.
Being detached from where you live and the broader needs of society, there is an epithet for that.
I don't know that the G-word is the one.
Certainly what we're finding, to go back to the points I was making, is that there are a number of like-minded countries that want to work through partnership to achieve those goals for their citizens and for the world more broadly.
The call is for more to recognize what's really going on right now and to pool their resources to the benefit of citizens.
So it won't be global.
It won't cover the globe, but it will be more powerful.
Yeah, of course he got applause because, listen, the average person in this conference is reflexibly socialist and globalist, hates Donald Trump, despises Elon Musk, and Mark Carney is their ideal.
I mean, here's a man who has three passports, who says Canada is the most European of the countries, who repeatedly sides with dictators against America.
I mean, it was just the other day I mentioned that Lula, the president of Brazil, who hates America, said that in his phone call with Mark Carney, they both agree to counter Trump's Arctic vision.
And now Carney agrees with China on that too.
The opposite of being pro-Trump is not being pro-China.
Encouraging Dialogue00:04:32
You can be as skeptical of Trump as you like without being pro-China.
Not Mark Carney.
Anyways, those are my thoughts on his speech.
We'll be back on the streets of Davos tomorrow.
Now, and I shouldn't have made you wait this long.
Now, here's my interview with Justin Trudeau.
What do you think of this?
Mr. Trudeau, what are you doing here at Davos?
It's no comment.
How come you never comment?
This is the spirit of dialogue.
It's the name of the conference.
How come you own dialogue, Prime Minister?
You're not getting into the spirit of dialogue.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Who paid for you to come here?
Was it taxpayers?
What do you make of the Federal Court of Appeal upholding the ruling that your martial law was illegal?
They said you violated...
It's good to see you, Ezra.
It's been a long time.
How you been?
How you been keeping?
Pretty well, but you didn't speak to me though.
I'm worried about you.
I don't think you have.
You stopped speaking to me after the boxing match.
I never heard from you again.
That's not true.
Every time we tried to come into contact with you, you had us arrested.
I never had you arrested.
You beat up my colleague David Menzies.
Your bodyguards did.
Your personal bodyguards beat up David Menzies.
RCMP, the official police of Canada that you're speaking against?
Yeah.
I think you're not going to trust our institutions, Ezra.
There's a problem there.
I think our institutions have been weakened by you, to be quite candid.
That is your right to believe that and to feel that.
And that's certainly something that you've continued to spread, people not trusting our institutions.
A certain skepticism is important, but spreading of misinformation and disinformation is just irresponsible.
I think you know that, Ezra.
But, you know, you've got a good little gig coming on.
You've paid for all these people to come to Davos.
I encourage you to continue to ask questions and challenge people, but to try and do it in a way that is grounded in facts and reality.
You've introduced more censorship than that.
Very much.
A conversation is not you lecturing me.
A conversation is a back and forth, not you just lecturing people.
You misunderstood.
It's a big time lecturing and haranguing people and creating outrage.
There's no need to introduce more censorship bills than any other kind of bill.
You don't believe in free speech.
C63 and all your other bills are about squelching people who you disagree with.
Ezra, you continue to make your points, and you're more than welcome to.
Well, so far, but not if you get your way.
Ezra, I think you know that.
Feel like you owe the Canadians an apology for the world, an apology for your behavior during COVID.
Have a good day, sir.
Is it bizarre not being out into me?
Please don't knock into me.
I appreciate the structure.
Well, yeah, security was just pushing us around before.
Of course.
He still gives selfies.
You got to hand him that.
You won't talk to reporters, but he'll do a selfie.
I just spoke with you for five minutes.
You spoke at me for five minutes.
You didn't answer any questions.
You spoke at me, which is your style.
Listen, you don't do well with the scent.
Are you going into any meetings here?
Davos is about meetings.
Davos is about connecting with people and talking about how we can continue to put people's success at the center of everything we do.
Are you going to meet up with Mark Carney when he arrives?
I have always been happy to speak with any leaders, including with any.
And how do you think he's doing?
I think he's doing great.
Are you worried about the rift with the United States?
I think everyone is worried about an increasing polarization around the world.
Do you feel that his visit to China was successful?
I think there's a lot of work to do around the world, but it's good that we continue to engage with friends, allies, and potential challenges around the world.
How do you feel about the looming referendum for separatism in Alberta?
Have you followed the separatist movement in Alberta?
Very familiar with all the various challenges in Canada, and we'll continue to trust Canadians' thoughtfulness and unity.
Would you be part of a no campaign on that?
Would you weigh in on that campaign?
Spell Check Memo Controversy00:04:22
Well, that's the show for the day.
What do you think of that?
We're going to be in Davos for a couple more days.
We're going to have a special Zoom town hall on Thursday.
And if you can help cover our costs, you could see we're sharing an Airbnb here.
And the reason, we're one town over.
We're in a town called Closters because Davos is completely booked up.
Even this Airbnb, where the lads are working together on the table, even this is thousands of dollars a night.
I'm so embarrassed to tell you that.
They jacked the price up tenfold just during the week of Davos.
And it goes back down to normal before and after.
But this one week a year, the entire community basically makes a year's worth of income.
Anyways, crazy times.
Go to WEFReports.com if you want to help us cover these costs.
I tell you one thing, I don't want to give it away, but we have a video coming that is 10 times crazier than that Justin Trudeau interview.
You'll watch it and you'll agree with me.
All right, that's it for today.
Until tomorrow, on behalf of us at Rebel News to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
What do you think of the sparring match between the U.S. Embassy and Europe over censorship?
No questions.
You're the one who came up with a memo about a spell check for hate.
Remember that memo you wrote in an article about 10 years ago?
You should just stop interviewing me.
I know, but you're a censor by nature.
You're the guy who came up with the whole plan.
I think you're being offensive.
Does that mean I should be censored, though?
No, I didn't say that.
I think you're being offensive.
I think you should stop.
Well, don't you think you have an obligation to talk to the public?
No, I do not.
And I certainly do not have an obligation to talk to you.
You're the one who fired the starter pistol for censorship in the whole industry.
Wow.
Amazing that you know this.
Well, I read the article.
You did what article?
It was either in the Times or the Post.
How interesting.
You talked about a spell check for hate.
Now, what you're doing is you're having fun at my expense.
The web theme is.
Oh, my God.
My God.
What a problem.
Spirit in dialogue.
Oh, my God.
Why?
Amazing.
You're not in control of yourself.
Because you're pressing against me.
Is this a spirit of dialogue?
Is this a spirit of dialogue?
I'm not interested in a dialogue with you.
But that's the entire theme.
You are now harassing me.
Do you want to have dialogue?
Harassment is illegal in Europe.
Why don't you let me get to that?
Do you want me to go to jail for talking to you?
No, I actually would like you to leave me alone.
Well, you won't leave us alone.
You're the one who started the whole censorship war.
I can assure you that you're just wrong, and I suggest that you stop.
Well, and as a man, you can say that, but you were the boss of Google who brought in a wave of censorship, particularly targeting conservatives and Trump supporters.
Really?
Really?
Wow, amazing how guilty I am, according to you.
My God.
And you need to stop blocking me.
Why are you pushing?
Because you're pushing me.
And we have it on camera.
Does it make you really angry in real life to have to face people?
Facing you?
No, not at all.
You seem super triggered.
Super triggered because you won't leave me alone.
It's called harassment.
Do you think he should be banned from YouTube for his conduct here?
I do not speak for YouTube.
Bye, guys.
That was great dialogue.
I've never seen such a man lose his control.
He's lost his emotional self-control.
That was Eric Schmidt.
He was a senior executive at Google.
And I remember he wrote, it wasn't just a memo, it was a lengthy article, either in the New York Times or the Washington Post, a very prestigious paper.
He talked about how censorship should be built into the internet like spell check is.
He called it a spell check for hate or for emotions.
That the internet should correct you in real time.
And that's what I was asking him about.
I've never seen him answer that, especially in the recent milieu of the U.S. State Department basically going to war over European censors.
He's clearly on the European censor side of things.
Have you calmed down from the crash out?
Are you feeling better?
Are you feeling better, sir?
Are you feeling better?
Do you want to go back to censorship online?
Why don't you guys just shut up?
This is exactly why we're here in Davos 2026 again for another year.
Censorship And Emotions00:07:58
We're catching these people out for what they've done and what they plan to do to us.
And none of this is possible without your help.
Make sure to go to wfreports.com.
If you support this kind of real journalism on the streets of Davos, please consider chipping in to help us cover the costs.
Thanks.
Sheila Gunread for Rebel News.
It's Friday night.
I am here in Drayton Valley, Alberta.
Population about 8,000.
And I'm at the McKenzie Conference Center.
Why?
This is a petition signing location for the referendum on independence.
And the event tonight includes speakers.
And it doesn't start for about an hour.
And people are filing in.
They're starting to end up outside the doors, but we're going to go inside and ask these people a few questions.
Perhaps, why are you signing the petition?
Do you have a message for people who say that Alberta cannot leave?
And maybe a message for Mark Carney, who introduced a new world order today.
Let's go check it out.
This is so incredibly exciting.
And the part that excites me the most is not even the numbers, it's who is showing up to sign for these petitions.
I have passed so many moms with kids in tow.
It is absolutely inspiring.
So Alberta, keep it going.
Why do you support independence?
It's been a bad relationship with Ottawa for too long, and I have young kids, and I feel like this is the only way that we can have real freedom.
For me, it's more to do with the immorality that we have in our country, and I just want to see us go to a place where we're, you know, focused on our home, our family, our children, both in the womb and to old age, and protecting life and liberty.
So, yeah.
So we can be in control of our own freedom.
And not only the freedom, but to not be held down by the federal government that has done it to us for 50 years.
My hope and prayer is for my descendants.
I may not live long enough to see the benefit of the separation of this province, hopefully Western Canada, but I believe this is going to be so beneficial to our young people.
We're going to be able to save our funds from idiots that send it across the ocean to we don't even know the countries and what is being done with it, whereas we could do so much for our people.
Our children need to go to university, but we can't afford it.
And if we were to keep our money in our country, we could send our kids to schools, universities, and be able to benefit with more doctors, more nurses, more hospitals.
Just think $70 billion goes to Ottawa and we can't even get a hospital bed.
A friend of mine, who's 83 years old, broke her ankle.
They had to stay in a hotel in Red Deer because there was no beds in the hospital.
If we had the money, we could either build new hospitals or build onto the old ones to have more beds.
So I'm really, really, I don't even know how to say how strongly I believe in separation.
We've been taking a lot of crap from Canada for a long time and it's not working.
So I just want to be able to work the next day and I'm tired of giving my money away.
My father was born in 1908.
He was not a highly educated person, but all my life I always heard him say that the country should separate from the Manitoba-Ontario border because the East did not care what happened in the West.
And it's becoming more and more true.
There's a lot given and none really coming back.
So there's kind of just a huge division in that sense.
We want a little bit more equality over here.
Yeah, that's the big thing is equality.
So what do you say to the people who say like it can't be done?
It's just too much work.
It's going to be too hard.
Well, when you think of it like that way, then of course there's going to be a problem.
But like, I mean, one, if you can change the, you know, one person's opinion or one view, like that makes the world of difference to like us people.
Like, you know what I mean?
It only takes one person sometimes.
So.
When you get a group of people this big, anything can happen.
It's just a legal route to get out of Canada.
And that's what we're pursuing.
And I feel like it's 100% possible.
If God desires it, it will happen.
We can accomplish anything when we stand together.
And this has been so wrong for so many years that it has to be corrected.
And I think it's past the point of return right now, the way things are going.
If you don't try, you won't know.
So I don't believe that it will be impossible.
I think once we can see by the grassroots that it's just growing and growing.
So once the wheels start moving, I think it'll become more and more apparent.
And I think Canada, the government in Ottawa is going to be in a mad panic when they see just what kind of turnout we're getting in all these towns and cities in Alberta.
Why do you think Quebec is allowed to talk about independence, but Alberta is not?
Alberta's treated like the basically the bad stepchild that we're not quite as equal as some provinces.
It's a pretty one-way street.
Anything over east counts, but not us.
So it's been like that for far too long.
Way too long.
Now, Mark Carney said yesterday that Canada is joining a new world order.
I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order.
Well, when I watch that video, it gave me shivers.
The way he said it, it just felt demonic to me.
It was just way out of place, and I didn't like it at all.
So that's just going to ramp this up, I feel.
I really don't like the way that they're always talking about the New World Order.
It seems very dictatorship-like.
So, you know, bringing in like the digital currencies and all of that, it just feels like they want total control of us.
So coming from, you know, them saying we're a free country, it's not feeling very free anymore.
No, no, and it's going back to like almost like the COVID years where they're trying to be like kind of like not really mark us, but in a sense, like they want control over you.
Like they want to know all your moves and they want to kind of have control of our assets.
And like it's just, I don't know, it doesn't sit well with us at the end of the day.
Obviously been going on for a long time, their plans with the World Economic Forum.
And they've just, yeah, basically dropped the veil.
And yeah, we're seeing that he's probably pretty beholden to China.
And we're, yeah, I don't want to be a part of some sort of Chinese state.
So and I kind of value freedom too much for that.
So we've been here for about an hour at Drayton Valley.
The room inside is packed.
Clear Message Sent00:00:30
People are listening to speakers, but also people are still coming.
The parking lot is busy.
People are coming, signing the petition, and leaving.
And they're sending a pretty clear message that it's not a bunch of old, angry Albertans.
It's young people, older people, grandparents, and they're all here because they want something different.
And the thing that's different that they want is a different kind of relationship with Canada from the outside.
