Transcript

[00:00] Russell: All right, folks. And we're back. Russell here with the Canadian Conservative Podcast.

[00:06] And I just want to say, everyone, I hope you enjoyed your Christmas and I hope that you had a good New Year's. We're now in 2025, and this is now officially season three of the podcast.

[00:21] Now, I had originally intended to release a Christmas episode. I actually managed to get my brother to do an episode with me. Unfortunately, we recorded with some equipment that did not work properly, so I tried to salvage it.

[00:39] Didn't work.

[00:40] But before we get into kind of the meat and potatoes here of what I want to talk about, I just want to thank everyone that listened all throughout last year.

[00:50] Season two was a really, really good season. It was a really, really good year. Great numbers, lots of listeners, and lots of great guests as well. I just want to highlight a few of those guests really quick, and if you're interested, you can always go through the back catalog and find them as well.

[01:07] Started off with an episode, has Canada gone gender Crazy?

[01:12] And I interviewed Jack, who is from Alberta, and him and a group of amazing people have been working hard to address some of the crazy gender issues over there. Jack, unfortunately, has suffered personal attacks because of that.

[01:33] Attempts to cancel him, attempts to go after his income, defamation of character online. But at the end of the day, you know, they really persevered. They stuck through it. They stuck through all the slings and arrows, and they got the ear of the premiere and they were able to talk a lot about no concerns that many Canadians have, many people in.

[01:56] In the gay community have about, you know, this gender monster that's been foisted on them. So. So that was the episode, has Canada gone gender Crazy?

[02:06] Another great episode that I did was with Eva from Empowering Canadians. She's actually the lawyer that actually questioned Justin Trudeau when he was on the stand about the Freedom convoy.

[02:21] So we talked a lot about democracy and conn, Canadians with democracy and what that means.

[02:27] And again, great episode. Then I did an episode with Fergus Hodgson, talk about his book financial sovereignty for Canadians on Tether yourself from the Ottawa Leviathan. And that one's called reclaiming your financial sovereignty.

[02:44] And I thought that was a really, really good episode as well. We talked a lot about problems that plague Canada, as well as some kind of high bar solutions that people can look into.

[02:55] Later episode that I did was with a teacher who was fired after 24 years of teaching due to standing up to Marxism and creeping progressivism into the classroom atmosphere. And so that episode was cancel Canadian teacher speaks up.

[03:13] That one actually did really, really good numbers and highly recommend it.

[03:18] I had a good episode. Again reoccurring guest was Stuart Parker. Stuart Parker is an old school lefty out of Vancouver and we talked a lot about just the gender craziness, his own cancellation.

[03:35] He had to actually flee Canada because his life was at risk being in Canada. He's since come back and he is currently working with his group, the Los Altos Institute, which is a leftist think tank.

[03:52] And although you know, Stuart and I might disagree on different policies and different things, you know, I think we're aligned in the things that matter when it comes to wokeism and progressivism.

[04:06] I later on talked with the defense lawyer. We talked about self defense laws in Canada, what people should know about defense laws in Canada, how the whole pandemic scandemic thing really changed the way that court's done in Canada as well.

[04:24] So that's words from a defense lawyer.

[04:28] I had the ever awesome Hoist the Black Flag is the name of his publication and the person that runs that publication is Philip O'Reilly.

[04:42] And he's been a guest on the show once before, so twice now. And really recommend his stuff. He's classic liberal, but again standing up, you know, to what really is not really liberal values but progressive intrusion into democracy.

[05:04] So we did a great episode on the immigration situation in Canada.

[05:09] Now, if you're interested in the Israel conflict at all, I actually interviewed Guy Goulin who wrote a book, my Brother's the Complicated Relationship between American Jews and Israel.

[05:26] And that book was interesting because I learned a lot from it because going into it, you know, I don't a bit about what was going on because of October 7th and things that happened.

[05:38] But talking with Guy Gong, getting the history, getting the idea of, you know, what separates Israeli Jews from American Jews, how are they similar, how are they different politically, culturally and how does that affect kind of the world stage.

[05:57] And it was a really good book and I thought we had a really, really good conversation which was a really good synopsis of the book itself.

[06:06] Again, getting into October here I had Darrell Cooper on the show again. Darrel Cooper was canceled. He was running for the SAS party years ago now seems like millennium ago.

[06:18] And I had seen what he had posted online talking about being attacked and newspaper ran some nasty articles on him and he said that people really weren't getting the truth.

[06:28] So I just kind of has kind of become a common theme now where I just cold called him out of nowhere and said hey Darrell, I know you don't know who I am.

[06:38] I'm kind of a nobody. But I'm doing a podcast here and I'd love to have you on as a guest to hear about, like, your run with the Sass party being canceled.

[06:45] What happened?

[06:47] And at the time, Darrel actually drove out to my house when I was living in a different place and actually did the episode with me in person, which was absolutely amazing.

[06:59] Shout out to him OG guest. And he came back and he's now left politics behind and he's really involved himself a lot more with religion and faith. So we did an episode leaving Saskatchewan Politics and focusing on religion with Daryl Cooper.

[07:16] Another great episode.

[07:18] And of course, I did a few other episodes as well. And these weren't really episodes where I was heavily involved, although I did ask a few questions at some point.

[07:26] But I actually had an amazing opportunity to actually travel to Israel to see kind of the war talk with members of the Israeli Parliament. It was a sponsored trip by Exigent, and it was run by Keshet Tours.

[07:44] And it was a really great experience. And so, you know, learning stuff about that, figuring people in Canada might be interested, I came back and I released a series of episodes.

[07:56] Now, these are more or less just the full. The full conversations that. And briefings that these people had. So there's some military personnel, there was members of the Israeli Parliament.

[08:08] So if you're interested more specifically on the Hamas Israel conflict, there's several episodes I did, they did pretty good overall. And I just want to say to everyone that's listened that it was an absolutely fantastic year.

[08:24] Now, December came around, I was taking a little bit of a break. I decided, hey, I'll do kind of end of the year episode. I got my brother to co host with me.

[08:34] We kind of talked about a bunch of stuff for about two hours. Unfortunately, like I said, wasn't able to salvage. Had some technical errors due to equipment we were using.

[08:46] That's not my normal equipment, so I should have tested a little bit better, I guess.

[08:52] So 2025. What's 2025 going to look like? Well, you know, hoping to book in more great guests, hoping to do more episodes, more analysis. Right. Because that seems to be.

[09:04] What's lacking is analysis. I can sit here and I could re spout off the same news that you hear in the mainstream areas, maybe with a little bit of variation, maybe some colorful language.

[09:17] But the goal is, is to maybe give you a perspective that you haven't thought about, maybe to challenge some different notions, challenge some narratives.

[09:27] And like I said, you know, the guests, the guests are always the best part, right, you know, you bring great people on and you have great conversations. Everyone learns a little bit.

[09:36] And, you know, through learning together, we grow and we are able to see the world maybe a little bit more clearly.

[09:46] Now, that being said, if you are a listener and you would like to be a guest, don't hesitate to reach out to me. You can message me on Twitter. I'm heCanadian Con.

[10:00] You can also email me Canadian Conservative in regards to my blog, I did slow down the blog posts as well. I am planning to release more, although I would like to release more blog posts that are maybe a little bit longer with a little bit more links, maybe a bit more analysis to it, hopefully have a bit more impact.

[10:25] But with that being said, let's get into the meat and potatoes here that I was talking about earlier and I named the episode today, Justin Trudeau one.

[10:35] Oh, that's a bit of a controversial thing, right? So earlier today, Justin Trudeau announced his intent to resign pending a Liberal Party election.

[10:47] And he has basically stalled Parliament, which is not unprecedented. There's been other times that Parliament has been stalled, not just by Liberals. Conservatives have done it too.

[10:59] But why do I say that he won?

[11:02] The fact is we have been ruled by a minority government for a very long time now.

[11:10] This minority government has survived several election attempts, hasn't really gained seats, lost seats, but the popularity of the party has plummeted as the years have gone on.

[11:24] And while I think this is just normal overall, you know, parties, after a while, they get stale, the messaging gets stale, people want change.

[11:33] You know, they just don't feel that they're being heard anymore. There, there's a million different reasons on in a minority government now. It was propped up by the ndp. They had a coalition government.

[11:46] Any by anything but the name itself. They had a supply and confidence agreement, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

[11:55] And then earlier on, Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the ntp, said they tore it up and they were now going to go off the Liberal Party. And then they continue to just vote completely lockstep in line.

[12:06] The fact is the Conservative Party is surging in the polls and talking to people online, talking to people I know that are leftists. Some of them are saying we're not really voting for Conservatives because we like Conservatives.

[12:22] We just hate the Liberal Party because they don't have liberal values. They're not espousing classic liberal values anymore. I do think it's important to know, like all the lens that which we view politics really is through the lens of classic liberalism now, post Enlightenment era.

[12:41] So as much as I like to say, you know, we're going to get a conservative government in that most people, for the most part, when they think conservative government, they just think low taxes, you know, smaller government, that sort of thing.

[12:55] You know, conservative values, those espoused by Burke and Russell Kirk and that, you know, those values, for the most part, they're not what I would call mainstream values for the most part.

[13:08] A lot of people calling themselves conservatives are mostly what we would. We would probably consider to be classic liberals with maybe a bit more economic reasoning. That's right centered, but that's not an issue.

[13:25] Conservative scale is not just conservative or nothing. There's different variations of conservatism as well. Now, why am I saying this? Because in general, in our society, I think most people probably fall under that classic liberal umbrella.

[13:45] So why are the conservatives polling so high then? I think it's because people don't view the Liberal Party as liberal anymore. They're not espousing classic liberal values. They're espousing the cult of progressivism.

[14:03] We need to progress. Everything needs to be upturned, upheaved. Everything needs to be analyzed, and everything needs to be broken down to its most basic function. Those need to be interrogated so that we can find some truth behind it, so that we can, you know, restructure society in some grand narrative, some grand scheme.

[14:25] But I don't even view the Liberal Party as that.

[14:30] Yeah, they wear the skin suit of progressivism, but I would say it's something even more nefarious.

[14:37] To me, the Liberal Party is the most successful money laundering operation in probably Canadian history.

[14:48] The amount of money that this government has spent was so much of it unaccounted for. You know, they spent. What was it they're supposed to spend? $2 billion to plant trees.

[14:59] And the trees aren't being planted.

[15:01] They're spending money hand over fist.

[15:05] And even his loser deputy prime minister.

[15:09] And she's no hero just because she quit. Christia Freeland said, like, Canadians are tired of stupid gimmicks, basically.

[15:19] And even she's saying that. And again, that doesn't mean that she's a good person, because she finally said no, because she finally stood up to the boss a little bit when the boss is being ridiculous.

[15:30] No, she's still who she is and she still enabled the terrible things that have happened for the last nine years.

[15:38] But the thing is, is that people can't afford things now. You know, we have a government and it's telling Us, you know, Canadians, we want. I don't know, we can use a million different things.

[15:50] They want.

[15:51] No more mean words on the Internet.

[15:54] No, what people want is to be able to go and buy more than three bags of groceries that cost them $200.

[16:03] That's what Canadians want.

[16:06] People want to have money left over in their pocket at the end of the day after they paid all their bills to do fun stuff with. Now, I'm not letting Canadians off the hook on this either, because the one thing that we love in Canada right now more than ever is we love spending money.

[16:25] And when I say money, we love racking up the credit. That's not everyone. So apply your not alls.

[16:31] But it is very apparent that Canadians are in love with credit. You know, last year when I did the interview with Fergus Hodgson and we were talking about just how broke Canadians are, and he was kind of breaking down the numbers, I said, well, nope.

[16:46] You go out and you see people are still spending money on fast food. People are still spending money on entertainment everywhere. Like, it doesn't seem like people are that concerned.

[16:56] And it's just, well, people still want to have their nice things, and so they're putting it on credit. And when you really talk to people, when you really talk to people and maybe you know them a bit better and you say, hey, you know, like, just be honest with me, like, how are your finances doing?

[17:14] You know, like, I'm really in the in the shits right now. How are you doing? You find out that people are very much in the same position, but yet still buying the cars.

[17:24] They're still kind of limping the economy along, and so we can't just blame the politicians here. We also are in love with credit. We like spending money.

[17:35] You know, Gail Vass Oxlade, she did this show back in the early 2000s called Till Debt Do Us Part, and she would go into people's homes, and you can view most of the episodes for free online now.

[17:50] And you know Canadians, we just like spending money and racking it up on credit. We like buying things. It's something that we do.

[17:59] She would go into homes, and people are just spending, like, crazy money they don't have in the credit card companies. They keep extending more and more money to them. And this is back in the 2000s, before 2008, the financial crash.

[18:13] This is before the scary pandemic, and it's only gotten more expensive from there, but people are still spending that money.

[18:21] And listen, people make money. I'm not opposed to them spending it. You know, it's your money and we all got to be adults. And I hear people say, oh, if we only taught financial classes in high school, I'm like, yeah, would you really have listened?

[18:33] Anyways, you talk to most people and they don't even know our governance system, and they had to take a civics class, and they don't even know about the different branches of government and their responsibilities.

[18:44] So I don't buy this whole, like, whoa, if only we'd educated people better, they would have been better with their money. No, we like to spend our money in Canada, and that goes all the way up to the government level because our government likes spending money, too.

[18:59] Only thing is, it's the tax money, it's the money they've taken and stolen off our paychecks, you know, and it's crazy because infrastructure across Canada is falling apart. So federal buildings are falling apart.

[19:12] We can't afford any gear for our military.

[19:15] We services are horrible. I mean, people go to the passport office and they wait all day. Probably the best way to get a passport these days, to book an appointment, you know, through your MP with the passport clinic.

[19:28] Some of them do, because then you're guaranteed to spot.

[19:32] But that's how crazy it is. And of course, the fees for things keep going up. The fees for passports, the fees for your gun license. Don't even get me started on firearms.

[19:42] You know, they're just banning more and more firearms. The goal is, is that people won't own firearms. And contrary to what people often think, because they think of Canadians, you know, the stereotype, we're nice Canadians.

[19:53] We don't get into any trouble or anything like that. Canada is actually a very active community for firearms ownership. Firearms collection and sport shooting, it's a huge industry in Canada.

[20:05] And it's being gutted, systematically gutted by lobbyists that are friendly and friends with people that oppose private citizens owning firearms. Simple as that.

[20:20] So how's this all tied back to the resignation today in Trudeau?

[20:24] I've kind of touched upon very basically a small number of laundry list of issues. But here's the thing. It has been a tumultuous nine years.

[20:37] We've had several high profile exits from the Liberal Party, a couple of quieter ones, people getting thrown under the bus, left, right and center. And at the end of the day, we have a minority government that's ruled through emergency, especially throughout the years that cannot be named.

[20:56] The scandemic years, you know, and they've been drunkly spending money, Just spend, spend, spend, spend. Like the money won't end. And then taxes have gone up. And they say, well, we've cut some taxes here and we've cut a few things there, like their GST holiday tax.

[21:12] I mean, that's all we heard about before Christmas was a holiday tax. And as soon as the Christmas season hit, Freeland pieces out, the budget drops. We didn't hear another word about that GST tax.

[21:24] Again.

[21:26] The thing is, and this was actually put out by Liberal mp, he posted a letter to the Liberal Caucus saying that the, that basically the party is being run by a small cabal.

[21:38] And so that's not really democracy. Democracy is supposed to represent people, the will of the people. But we have a government that does not represent the will of the people.

[21:49] They've been widely represented by special interest groups, they've been widely represented by foreign interests. And I'm not saying that doesn't extend to the other parties as well. There's evidence that the other parties are just as involved as Liberal Party is with this as well.

[22:07] But it's very clear it's a money laundering operation because lots of money has not been accounted for. It's not being accounted for properly, it's not being spent properly, it's not being spent appropriately.

[22:21] And we've all ended up a lot poorer because of it.

[22:26] So then the US has their election.

[22:28] Donald Trump gets in for second term and he's not even the president yet.

[22:36] And he says he's going to put a 25% tariff on Canada on our goods, which would completely destroy our economy. We would be gutted. We have outsourced so much stuff.

[22:48] We don't make anything anymore. We don't, we outsource it. And I could do another. I could do a three hour podcast episode on how we don't make anything and why we don't.

[22:58] And it's a combination of corruption, laziness, union stuff as well. But the end of the day, we just generally don't make things anymore.

[23:09] So we buy things, we export our resources, our raw resources to other places. They refine it, they make the goods, we buy them.

[23:20] Been very, very common now.

[23:22] So he threatens 25% tariff, calls Justin Trudeau down to the his Mar a Lago place.

[23:29] I'm not sure what the conversation they had, but he comes back and he just starts relentlessly mocking Justin, talking about secure our borders, do these things, or 25% tariff. And what does our government do?

[23:43] Because it's already weak, because it has no foundation. The foundation is sand.

[23:48] It just collapses. I don't mean literally collapses. But it falls apart. The infighting starts. Everyone starts going for each other's necks because this is a real threat. Finally, Canada has an existential threat.

[24:01] Our closest trading partner, the one that's covered our ass for so many years, suddenly has a few demands. And because we have been riding this wave with them for so long, we're just incapable of handling it.

[24:16] But I'm getting to the point here. Why did Justin Trudeau win? Because what I'm telling you is just a small little bit. It's like it's an inch worth of stuff.

[24:27] There's so much more.

[24:30] And it's all just compiled over the years and no one's been held accountable. I mean, you got the two Randys, all right, Randy Boissonette, you know, saying he's indigenous and that grifting off of that, being a pretendian and then, you know, turning around and you know, he's involved in some type of corruption scandal with his business partner.

[24:52] It's pay to play. It's quid per quo, it's nepotism, cronyism, crony capitalism, whatever you want to call it. The fact is, is that this is not uncommon.

[25:02] This is the norm, not the exception.

[25:07] And so when it all finally comes to a head, there's nowhere really left to run. People are resigning, they have huge caucus meetings. People are being super tight lipped about it, like super secret stuff.

[25:20] It's ridiculous.

[25:23] Pierre Poliev comes out with this wackos video and yeah, it was all right. It was all right. It was 12 minutes of liberal memes. But it didn't hit right. It didn't for me, it didn't hit right.

[25:35] Okay, yeah, we know all these things. The term, believe me, the terminally online crowd, we know all these things already. Maybe a few normies saw it and then they kind of woke up a bit.

[25:45] But for the terminally online crowd, we get it.

[25:49] And then there was the interview that Pierre Poliev did with Jordan Peterson.

[25:56] And it was overall, was a decent interview.

[25:58] A little softball, but decent. You know, two guys talking to each other about just trashy leadership in this country and how much that person screwed up and a few things that they were going to do differently and that sort of thing.

[26:10] Now conservatives haven't released their platform.

[26:13] Probably not a good idea. Because what's crazy is the things the conservatives are pushing, the liberals have been almost forced to do now.

[26:22] But finally we reached the point government's been on break for three weeks. Maybe a time to maybe sober up a little bit and kind of maybe look Inwards. I don't know if he's capable of that, but look inwards.

[26:35] And decides, well, I'm done. I'm done. So he goes today to the podium, talks about himself, talks about how amazing he's been, amazing. His government's been all these great things.

[26:51] And then he says he intends to resign. So mind you, he has not technically resigned yet. He intends to resign upon a leadership race in the Liberal Party, and he cancels Parliament.

[27:04] He just shuts her down, says, well, we're going to shut her down. Liberal Party is going to have a leadership race, and then we'll reopen Parliament back up.

[27:13] Which Stephen Harper shouldn't have done it before him. He shouldn't be doing it. Parliamentary business should not be delayed because your party's having a crisis, especially two weeks. Donald Trump comes in in two weeks to take over.

[27:29] Man.

[27:31] Man, we suck.

[27:33] People are talking about annexing to the United States. Like, you know, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I'll say that. It's not always greener on the other side.

[27:43] States got their issues, too, just as much as we do. I'm not just talking about, you know, the issues that Trump says he's going to deal with. You know, okay, Canada decides to annex itself to the states.

[27:55] So what, we could end up like California? Really?

[28:00] Is that what we really want? You know, people talk about the states, oh, they got all these extra rights in the state's. Okay, yeah, they got all these extra rights, but a lot of those rights are limited by laws derived from the individual state.

[28:13] So do you really want to do that here in Canada?

[28:18] Because we could end up way worse than a lot of these other places. So anyways, with that says he intends to resign, but with that, he now just gets to walk away.

[28:30] He gets to walk away.

[28:32] He's faced no punishment. He has faced nothing from his own party. In fact, his party is out there. Oh, man, I was watching cbc, man, you could have sworn it was a funeral.

[28:43] It was like a funeral procession. Oh, man, listening to them talk today about, you know, him resigning, like the apocalypse just happened. The worst thing ever. Like, give me a break.

[28:56] Give me a break.

[28:58] Come on.

[29:01] And then all these Liberals that were at his throat, like, a week ago, calling for convention, telling him to resign and step down.

[29:09] Oh, Trudeau, you're such a great leader. Thank you for your service to the Liberal Party. Thank you for your service to Canada.

[29:17] Like, just performative crap, like hyper reality, just a layered false reality, layered on top of our own. And that just pushed by these media narratives. It's really, it's, it's pathetic.

[29:31] Here's the thing. He won.

[29:34] He got to be a little king for nine years despite having a minority government.

[29:39] He got to vacation, he got to hang out. He got to, you know, represent Canada sometimes awfully on the world stage, spending tons of money, tons of money, being a little playboy, flying around to other countries.

[29:57] He hasn't faced any repercussions. And people say, well, he's going to go to jail for treason. He's not going to go to jail, folks. He's not going to go to jail.

[30:05] Doesn't happen. Did Donald Trump lock her up? No, he didn't. Did they lock Donald Trump up? No. It's even worse in Canada. Politicians don't go to jail. They don't get threatened with jail.

[30:16] They get to go to investigatory committee meetings or they get grilled and they sit there and they just lie and say, I don't know, I don't know. Or they just repeat the same lie 4,000 times where they get asked the same question 4,000 different ways.

[30:31] And then what? At the end, there's a series of recommendations. No one's looking to press charges.

[30:36] It's not going to happen. We don't do that here. It's not going to happen.

[30:41] So people say, well, like, you know, Trudeau for treason and that it just isn't going to happen. And I'm sorry to be doom pilled. I'm sorry, I'm swallowing the doom pill.

[30:50] There's no reason, there's no precedent. It just doesn't happen. I mean, it'd be great if it did happen, but then everyone's. No one's going to do that because then all the politicians will realize, well, that could happen to me next.

[31:04] My shady stuff gets exposed. That could happen to me.

[31:08] So they protect their own. They circle the wagons. Doesn't matter the political affiliations. They circle the wagons. I mean, listen, if there's anyone from the Conservative Party of Canada that's listening to this, you want to change things in Canada?

[31:22] Yeah. Perjury, lying, nepotism, cronyism, you know, remember the ethics scandals? Remember all the ethics scandals? Oh, I spoke to the ethics commissioner and the ethics commissioner, like, resigns and they can't fill the seat, make it so it actually has teeth, real teeth, nasty teeth.

[31:43] And then maybe people might be more inclined not to, not to follow a line. Listen, I'm not saying there isn't corruption in every government. Every government, every system has a certain level of Gaming and corruption.

[31:57] It is just what is tolerated. And it's. It'd be easy for me to say we should have zero corruption in any system. I mean, yeah, of course that's what I'd want to aim for, but realistically, we all know any system is going to have people gaming the system.

[32:13] So it's. What is the lowest level we can go to?

[32:16] Zero would be nice, but realistically, if we can't go to zero, what's the lowest level of tolerance that we can go to?

[32:24] And so, yeah, getting back to what I said, he won, so he's going to walk away.

[32:30] Parliament is effectively suspended now, so he's got nothing to do. They're going to have a leadership race. He's not going to run.

[32:38] He's still Prime Minister.

[32:40] Nothing's changed.

[32:42] Absolutely nothing's changed, except government businesses shut down. Now, I've seen some posts about how this is positive. There's going to be a bunch of bad bills that are going to die because of this, and that's not a bad thing overall, however, our Parliament's not functioning.

[32:59] We can't do business.

[33:01] So we are funded really until May. No, sorry, not May, March 31st.

[33:08] So we have until the end of fiscal government fiscal, for the Liberals to get their act together and find someone and run them and do their thing. And the rest of Canada just has to watch.

[33:20] We have to watch the United States takes power, Donald Trump having a very, very strong mandate, strong election.

[33:26] You know, all these other countries, all these countries that towed themselves as first world, an old country that you know was coming new, like France and all that, they're all falling apart.

[33:37] Their government systems are falling apart because, you know, like I said, uncertain level of corruption is to be expected. But when every loophole is exploited, when every bad aspect of government becomes the norm, I mean, the handgun ban was passed by an ordering council.

[33:55] Those are used for things like hiring people of, like, the Canadian Gazette magazine and that. Like, we're like, they're not meant for big things. They're meant to be done with, for small administrative tasks.

[34:07] But they'll find every loophole. I mean, they did the Emergency Act. They didn't care. They just did it. Didn't matter if it was deemed unconstitutional later, they just did it.

[34:16] Did anyone go to jail? Did anyone really face any consequences? No, of course not. That's not the way our system set up.

[34:24] So he won. The Liberals will appoint a new leader.

[34:28] Justin Trudeau will then ride off into the sunset. I mean, the world's his oyster. He's rich. Oh, people in Canada don't like him. He doesn't care.

[34:38] He doesn't care. I mean, he's a narcissist. So deep down he does care. But he's got so much money.

[34:46] He's a bachelor now. He's single, ready to mingle.

[34:50] So why would he even spend time in Canada? I could see him maybe taking kids or maybe leaving the kids with the ex and just taking off. He can go anywhere he wants.

[35:01] Go anywhere he wants.

[35:04] Maybe go back to his Aga Khan's private island, soak it up on the beaches for months at a time. Like, the guy's rich and all the responsibility is off his shoulders now.

[35:15] He's effectively abdicated responsibility. So imagine like a toddler had a bunch of toys and he broke all the toys.

[35:25] And then he just walks away and everyone comes in to clean up the mess because he just refused to clean up his own mess.

[35:32] I wanted him to stay on as leader. I wanted an election. I wanted to see him have to squirm his way through a nasty election.

[35:41] But no, he gets away with it. He gets to go the easy way out. And yes, I do think it's the easy way out. Oh, his reputation. His reputation is fine.

[35:51] Amongst the people he cares about.

[35:53] People he doesn't care about. He doesn't care.

[35:57] So this whole thing of, well, he's going to be feeling bad for the rest of his life. I was reading some comments on Twitter. It says, oh, Justin Trudeau won.

[36:04] And people are like, no, he didn't win. He's going to get charged with treason. No, he's not. I mean, doom pilled. Yeah, there's no statute of limitations on some of the things that they want charged for.

[36:15] But it just isn't going to happen.

[36:17] I mean, if it does, I promise this, if it does, I will eat my shirt. I will get a shirt, I will cut it up into small squares and I will eat it.

[36:25] Okay, But I don't think that's going to happen.

[36:30] So in the end, he won. He broke Canada, he broke the Liberal Party, which, whatever, they were broken anyways. They're filled with loser sycophants and that. But he broke this country.

[36:43] We're more divided than ever. We're broker than ever.

[36:47] We're mad at each other. They managed to get us at each other's throats more than at their throats.

[36:52] Crime is absolutely, completely out of control. Drug stuff is out of control. The provinces are like super mad right now.

[37:01] Not they're really doing anything about it, but they're mad.

[37:04] And it all just feels kind of broken. It all kind of feels like.

[37:08] You ever see, like, one of those movies and it usually shows, like, a day or two before the apocalypse starts and everyone's just kind of normal. Or even like those zombie movies where, you know, they're reading on the news about some infection and weird things are happening, but everyone's just going about their business, right?

[37:26] Like, it's just CNN on the background, but really something is going on, and that's kind of what it feels like. You know, in Canada, we're all, you know, we're all just one week away from the zombie apocalypse breaking out because it's all just, you know, it's.

[37:41] It's all this tension and this lingering in the air of what's going on. Like, no one really seems all that relaxed. Even the. Even the people that bought into all the BS and that, they're.

[37:52] They're not really relaxed. No one's really enjoying themselves. No one's really saying. Even liberals that say, oh, just Trudeau's done great, they're not really.

[38:02] I don't see most people wandering around thinking, oh, you know, everything's just peachy keen right now. Know, maybe if they don't watch any news at all and they're well off.

[38:12] And so what does that mean for us? So I've said, you know, I've lots of words here, said that he's won.

[38:19] It just means that we're going to have to pick up the pieces, we're going to have to do the heavy lifting, we're going to have to suffer for another Trudeau's mistakes, and maybe we'll learn our lesson this time.

[38:35] Maybe we will. But anyways, it is going to be absolutely crazy out there. It's 2025. All right? We are one week in. All right, to the New Year. Crazy things have already happened in the States, all right, Crazy stuff is happening in.

[38:51] In Britain right now, you know, with people really honing in on the grooming gang scandal.

[38:58] So 2025 is starting with a bang here, and it's only going to get even crazier, and I'm hoping to be able to talk about it, document it, and just enjoy this journey with everyone.

[39:09] So I hope you had a really relaxing Christmas. I hope you had a happy New Year's, because we're right back in the shit here, everyone. So with that, I wish you all a good night and I'll see you next time.
