Canadian Political Turmoil: Trudeau's Leadership Under Fire Amid Resignations and Rising Tensions
Show Notes
Is Justin Trudeau's leadership crumbling before our eyes? Dive into the chaos of Canadian politics as we unpack the shocking resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, a move that has sent shockwaves through Prime Minister Trudeau's administration and fueled calls for his own departure. With Canada's deficit spiraling beyond control, Trudeau's credibility hangs by a thread. We tackle the disturbing surge of antisemitism that recently manifested in a firebombing incident in Montreal, drawing stark parallels to global political tensions. Our conversation highlights the growing dissatisfaction among Canadians, particularly within the Jewish community, and questions Trudeau's ability to navigate these turbulent waters.
As Canadian provincial premiers rally to discuss crucial economic and immigration issues, we explore the leadership dysfunction that plagues the nation. With figures like Doug Ford challenging traditional federal roles, the power play between provincial and national leaders mirrors strains seen in other countries. Our spirited discourse doesn't shy away from calling for Trudeau's resignation and an election.
00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:02.422 You know it's the hump day.
00:00:02.422 --> 00:00:06.509 David and I in the green room were just discussing, you know how.
00:00:06.509 --> 00:00:13.865 Not more than just a couple of weeks ago, it was insanity in the US, and before that was insanity in Israel.
00:00:13.865 --> 00:00:17.594 Before that was insanity in Ukraine and Russia.
00:00:17.594 --> 00:00:35.000 Well, today there's insanity in Canada, and its prolific leader second generation, trudeau, is landing flat on his head or on his face, and the black face that he used to run around with in college is turning to a couple of black eyes.
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:50.917 Whether it's firebombing religious institutions, supporting known terrorist organizations and amalgamating opinions, that passive is better than common sense.
00:00:52.402 --> 00:00:53.865 Welcome everybody to the Rant Network.
00:00:53.865 --> 00:00:56.231 My name is Stuart Briskell, that's David Solomon.
00:00:56.231 --> 00:01:12.283 We're co-hosts for an unapologetic discussion on a diverse range of topics, with candid conversations and bold opinions, whether it's breaking down the latest headlines, exploring pop culture, debating politics or delving into the complexities of modern life.
00:01:12.283 --> 00:01:15.950 That's what this platform was created four years ago.
00:01:15.950 --> 00:01:22.087 So grab a seat, settle in and join us on this journey for another thought-provoking rant and meaningful discussion.
00:01:22.087 --> 00:01:26.593 Welcome to the rant network, where your voice matters.
00:01:26.593 --> 00:01:29.742 No topic off limit, david.
00:01:30.765 --> 00:01:39.025 You know, right after we broadcasted yesterday, the finance minister bailed on judo on monday.
00:01:39.025 --> 00:02:19.301 Our last broadcast was on monday, so after our last broadcast, the finance minister is running for dear life away from little Justin, and the call from his party and the country is for him to step aside, resign, call an election, but the stubbornness that exists in this man's ego outweighs the country and the priority of one great nation called Canada and instead of letting the shine come through, he's allowing nothing but tarnish and stain.
00:02:19.301 --> 00:02:21.686 Sit on his prime minister.
00:02:21.686 --> 00:02:23.449 Review, david.
00:02:23.449 --> 00:02:25.793 What is the insanity going on?
00:02:27.561 --> 00:02:29.205 Let's just start from the very beginning here.
00:02:29.205 --> 00:02:44.263 Okay, right after we cut out our broadcast on monday, well, it was right, as as we were getting our broadcast all arranged, christy freeland, the finance minister, resigns, but not just resigns, and people resign and they always throw their support behind the leader.
00:02:44.263 --> 00:02:50.465 Hey, listen, you're a good, but maybe it's time for me to spend more time with my family All kinds of other things.
00:02:51.000 --> 00:03:05.901 Now Chrystia Freeland penned a letter that one very public about the fact that, no, sorry, she doesn't support Justin Trudeau, she doesn't support his policies, and she threw caution into the wind, which is surprising for christia freeland, because she does.
00:03:05.901 --> 00:03:08.127 Her policies has never been about caution.
00:03:08.127 --> 00:03:12.685 It's been more about socialists, and that has been a big criticism run.
00:03:12.685 --> 00:03:31.489 Now it's her stepping down as finance minister and not only that, but also completely like she doesn't want to be part of his cabinet anymore led a whole series of conversations and announcements by several MPs who have called for Justin Trudeau to step down.
00:03:31.489 --> 00:03:39.532 Of course, the leader of the opposition, pierre Pelliev, the conservative leader, has been demanding, insisting that Trudeau step down.
00:03:39.532 --> 00:03:43.719 And oh, by the way, monday was not only the day that she stepped down to finance minister Stewart.
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.161 It was the day she was supposed down to Finance Minister Stewart.
00:03:45.161 --> 00:03:49.951 It was the day she was supposed to give the fall economic, you know status.
00:03:49.951 --> 00:03:56.590 She was supposed to go out and tell all of Canadians how well we did in the last year, which I'll get to in just a second.
00:03:56.590 --> 00:04:04.891 But it's amazing that she steps down and there's no Finance Minister who's going to deliver the information, who's going to present it.
00:04:04.891 --> 00:04:14.328 And when Pierre Polivac says in the House of Commons, of course the liberals say you see, the conservatives don't care about anything, they only care about themselves.
00:04:14.328 --> 00:04:16.002 They don't care about Canada like we do.
00:04:16.002 --> 00:04:20.250 And the mocking on social Stewart was unbelievable.
00:04:20.250 --> 00:04:32.502 That the liberals, similar to the Democrats I mean you could just change the names the arrogance, the belief that they, the elitists, know what we're doing, trust us, we know you need to get away.
00:04:32.502 --> 00:04:33.985 Well, wouldn't you know it?
00:04:33.985 --> 00:04:36.011 During the day, others popped up and said yeah, me too.
00:04:36.011 --> 00:04:44.327 I also said he should resign, I also should resign, including your friend Stuart Anthony Housefather, who, chicken shit little, decided he's going to step up and says yeah, I told him that months ago.
00:04:44.327 --> 00:04:49.781 All the while he keeps throwing his support behind Trudeau, which is just fascinating for these MPs.
00:04:49.781 --> 00:04:51.826 One by one, they've gone.
00:04:51.826 --> 00:04:54.612 Stuart, let me tell you why Canada's falling apart.
00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:58.884 The original budget for 2023-24.
00:04:58.884 --> 00:05:04.172 In terms of fiscal spending, the deficit was supposed to be around $40 billion.
00:05:04.172 --> 00:05:29.483 The fall economic update told us that we were actually closer to $60 billion, which I know by American standards, you guys are in the billions and trillions and it doesn't like it, but we're 40 million, and 40 million people now have a deficit, annual deficit, not total debt, annual deficit, 50% higher than forecast, and for next year, we're supposed to be another $40 billion.
00:05:29.483 --> 00:05:30.346 That no one believes.
00:05:30.346 --> 00:05:32.612 So, once again, trudeau lies.
00:05:32.612 --> 00:05:36.670 Now he makes all these excuses about we're still paying for COVID and we're still.
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.622 Covid was over, for God's sakes.
00:05:38.622 --> 00:05:40.889 Enough with the lies and the spin.
00:05:40.889 --> 00:05:43.132 But that's Justin Trudeau.
00:05:43.132 --> 00:05:46.529 Justin Trudeau is about not being honest as a politician.
00:05:46.529 --> 00:05:50.947 Justin Trudeau is only about one thing getting re-elected.
00:05:50.947 --> 00:05:53.774 And oh, the second thing is legacy.
00:05:54.480 --> 00:06:01.084 But, stuart, his legacy will also be known as the prime minister that let Canadians down, especially Jewish Canadians.
00:06:01.084 --> 00:06:19.146 And Jewish Canadians today are once again upset because my institution, your old institution when you were living here in Montreal, was firebombed at two o'clock this morning Again, almost a year to the date from the first bombing, we were the first one in Canada and, of course, here we are again Now.
00:06:19.146 --> 00:06:20.088 Why am I bringing this up?
00:06:20.088 --> 00:06:22.524 Because you will say that's a municipal handling.
00:06:22.524 --> 00:06:42.867 No, actually, it would have been a beautiful thing had this government had the intestinal fortitude not to support terrorists but to support Canadians and say strictly and strongly crime, racist crime, will be dealt with severely, which will include throwing you out of this country if we deem it necessary.
00:06:42.867 --> 00:06:44.747 But this is what's the problem.
00:06:44.747 --> 00:06:48.189 University campuses, stuart, are running rampant again.
00:06:48.189 --> 00:06:53.309 The anti-Semitism on campus, the racism on campus, not just towards Jews but towards Muslims.
00:06:53.309 --> 00:07:07.548 Imagine, if you will Muslims are being vilified and attacked on campus because they support humanity and proper Canadian values and, thanks to Justin Trudeau, those values, stuart, mean nothing.
00:07:07.548 --> 00:07:10.850 You're on mute.
00:07:10.891 --> 00:07:17.764 My friend, when you mention Trudeau and values it's kind of like an oxymoron.
00:07:17.764 --> 00:07:18.685 I just got to laugh.
00:07:18.685 --> 00:07:25.088 And you know there have been many politicians through the years where they've talked out of both sides of their mouths.
00:07:25.088 --> 00:07:29.492 They've been vitriol, they've been vicious, they've been against the country.
00:07:29.492 --> 00:07:42.773 A famous Quebec politician who was as evil as the day is long, blaming women, minorities and Jews for political gain.
00:07:43.800 --> 00:08:02.045 You know it is sad when Canada, which normally exemplified the definition of multiculturalism in the world over the United States, has turned into another black eye in the subject, like it did with health care, dental care, now in immigration.
00:08:02.045 --> 00:08:08.565 You know there are cities in Montreal that people are just not even going into.
00:08:08.565 --> 00:08:10.370 The police are just not going there.
00:08:10.370 --> 00:08:16.170 It's turning into like a little Paris where there's little areas where people don't go into.
00:08:16.170 --> 00:08:23.303 When we were growing up we had a place called little Burgundy where you actually had big metal drums actually in the street.
00:08:23.303 --> 00:08:30.449 I don't know if you remember, david, that used to be in little Burgundy and you know today those neighborhoods aren't like that.
00:08:30.449 --> 00:08:37.370 They are neighborhoods where religious people are actually forcing the police out.
00:08:37.370 --> 00:08:39.474 They want to have their rules.
00:08:39.554 --> 00:08:51.322 You know the ayatollah has tentacles around the world and is putting disciples in every city, every country, to try and invoke a caliphate.
00:08:51.322 --> 00:08:53.245 That includes canada.
00:08:53.245 --> 00:09:01.134 You know, it's the stupidity of the modern politician to think that the caliphate is exempt of Canada.
00:09:01.134 --> 00:09:03.465 It's not their mission.
00:09:03.465 --> 00:09:13.508 Their goal is death to all infidels and if you're not a Muslim, you're an infidel and you're just one coin toss away from being next on the list.
00:09:13.508 --> 00:09:17.173 From being next on the list, you know, being a Jew sort of makes you the easy.
00:09:17.173 --> 00:09:30.421 Easy to pick on, because a lot of different people are jealous or envious or what have you over a minority, I would say the Japanese and the Asians, and the math you know.
00:09:30.421 --> 00:09:38.883 But in Canada you saw none of this when we were growing up, david, it didn't matter if you were black, white, asian, it was all the same.
00:09:38.883 --> 00:09:43.692 Why did justin trudeau have to screw up this country even more?
00:09:44.741 --> 00:09:45.363 well, stewart.
00:09:45.363 --> 00:09:48.249 Look, it's the same thing you have in the south, on your side.
00:09:48.249 --> 00:09:51.000 You know it was divide and conquer.
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.548 You divide the people, you'll conquer the people.
00:09:54.548 --> 00:09:57.355 This has been the attitude of the democrats, has been the attitude of the liberals.
00:09:57.355 --> 00:09:58.345 This has been the attitude of the liberals.
00:09:58.345 --> 00:10:02.972 It's interesting because woke ideology is all about creating different camps.
00:10:02.972 --> 00:10:04.014 It's not about unifying.
00:10:04.014 --> 00:10:09.019 Woke ideology that believes in DEI does not believe in unification.
00:10:09.019 --> 00:10:13.226 It believes in punishing, and that's what Justin Trudeau has done.
00:10:13.226 --> 00:10:14.110 He's punished.
00:10:14.110 --> 00:10:17.831 He's punished Canadians who don't agree with him.
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:27.032 You know we talked about Monday how he stands up and he calls himself a feminist, but again by dividing people, that there are those who are for women, those who are against women.
00:10:27.032 --> 00:10:34.889 I mean I find that funny, considering that again Justin Trudeau pushed a woman out of cabinet Third time this has happened in his nine years.
00:10:34.889 --> 00:10:36.864 But no one's really going to talk about that.
00:10:36.864 --> 00:10:39.288 You know he's consistently talking about.
00:10:39.288 --> 00:10:39.929 Oh, we should.
00:10:39.929 --> 00:10:44.934 You know we denounce all forms of racism and yet he's the biggest supporter of anti-Semitism.
00:10:44.934 --> 00:10:48.346 And when Anthony Housefather runs around and says we have a document.
00:10:48.346 --> 00:10:52.586 We have a document that says what anti-Semitism is, but no one's enforcing it.
00:10:52.586 --> 00:11:01.190 And that's thanks to mayors such as Olivia Chow in Toronto, valerie Plante in Montreal and a series of other mayors from coast to coast.
00:11:01.190 --> 00:11:15.991 Stuart, if the prime minister of Canada empowered his security minister and told every security minister in every province get your act together or else Okay, but you want to know something.
00:11:16.052 --> 00:11:20.870 It's kind of funny and this is going to spin our rant a little off topic, but you're used to this.
00:11:20.870 --> 00:11:27.285 Everyone you know Donald Trump is actually invoking to clean up Canada.
00:11:27.285 --> 00:11:33.062 In fact, he's doing more to clean up Canada than the Canadian government is.
00:11:33.062 --> 00:11:34.368 And let me explain to you how.
00:11:34.368 --> 00:11:41.167 If you think for a second that Canada has an edge over the United States, you'd be mistaken.
00:11:41.167 --> 00:11:46.947 And Donald Trump very calmly, jokingly, said Canada, you can be the 51st state.
00:11:46.947 --> 00:11:57.682 Now, it's not that we want to be, you know, or have Canada be the 51st state, but it's like manage your country economically and fiduciary and stop letting shit come into our country.
00:11:57.682 --> 00:12:00.633 If you can't do it, you're going to get 25 tariffs.
00:12:00.633 --> 00:12:12.587 So, instead of the prime ministers of canada getting together and saying, hey, this is a real serious border problem oh, no, no, no, no, no no no, no, no, no, they got.
00:12:12.628 --> 00:12:17.634 They're getting together to discuss how they can combat Donald Trump.
00:12:17.634 --> 00:12:18.235 I'm sorry.
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:18.820 Tom.
00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:19.900 Ford's on record in.
00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:22.643 Ontario saying he's going to spend energy.
00:12:22.643 --> 00:12:23.423 What are you talking about?
00:12:24.845 --> 00:12:33.331 On Monday, the premiers of Canada got together, yes, to combat Donald Trump, but to come up with a unified policy.
00:12:33.331 --> 00:12:36.913 For one reason Because the prime minister of Canada can't do it.
00:12:36.913 --> 00:12:39.034 Whoa, wait, stop.
00:12:39.034 --> 00:12:39.820 I heard whoa.
00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:47.556 Okay, I'll give you credit that you read news Good, but you've got to know there's more to this news than just what you see on a clip or on Fox or whatever.
00:12:47.556 --> 00:12:48.236 Oh, no, it was on Bloomberg.
00:12:48.258 --> 00:12:50.222 Oh, this news than just what you see on on a, on a clip or on fox or whatever.
00:12:50.222 --> 00:12:50.965 Oh no, it was not bloomberg?
00:12:52.008 --> 00:12:58.527 oh, because bloomberg gets it, because bloomberg is so pro-trump no I, I read, I read through bloomberg, screw bloomberg.
00:12:58.727 --> 00:13:07.010 I watched the live press conference on monday when the premiers got together and said this isn't about combating, it's about handling.
00:13:07.010 --> 00:13:16.316 Canada has a problem and in the latest economic update, the so-called budget, there was money put towards immigration and border security and whatever.
00:13:16.316 --> 00:13:20.677 And the premiers are going come on, you didn't be serious.
00:13:20.677 --> 00:13:29.485 If the prime minister of Canada won't get together, this is like all 50 governors of the United States saying Biden can't do it, so we're going to take care of it as 50.
00:13:29.485 --> 00:13:30.967 Because each province knows exactly what's going to take care of it as 50.
00:13:30.967 --> 00:13:34.230 Because each province knows exactly what's going to happen if this 25 goes through.
00:13:34.230 --> 00:13:38.029 That's why trudeau is being a jerk trudeau's ruining it for canada.
00:13:38.070 --> 00:13:46.918 Stewart, I I understand that, but you again you cut me off and and you're actually just really just went off the deep end oh, I watched, I watched, I watched.
00:13:46.937 --> 00:13:51.250 I watched the press conference, I watched the press conference, I watched the press conference.
00:13:51.270 --> 00:13:55.116 I actually watched individual interviews that Tom Ford, his name is.
00:13:55.136 --> 00:13:57.000 Tom Ford Doug Ford, doug Ford.
00:13:58.866 --> 00:14:02.094 And by the way they were trying to deal with.
00:14:02.094 --> 00:14:04.158 Oh, we'll cut energy off to the US.
00:14:04.525 --> 00:14:07.053 That was last week's message, not this week's message.
00:14:07.215 --> 00:14:08.553 No, he even did it.
00:14:10.408 --> 00:14:13.876 This is the same negotiation that Donald Trump does.
00:14:13.876 --> 00:14:16.556 It's very funny because Doug Ford does the same thing.
00:14:16.556 --> 00:14:19.330 And when they asked, doug Ford, are you really going to cut off energy?
00:14:19.330 --> 00:14:21.057 You know it's like, come on.
00:14:21.057 --> 00:14:22.423 You know it's the same thing.
00:14:22.423 --> 00:14:24.830 Donald Trump throws out 25%, you know.
00:14:24.830 --> 00:14:26.995 The point of the matter is, stuart, which are with.
00:14:26.995 --> 00:14:35.413 The point of this rant is that if Justin Trudeau would handle the country properly, we wouldn't need the Premier of Ontario.
00:14:35.413 --> 00:14:42.357 That's like saying Kathy Hochul from New York is going to stand up and decide policy for the United States.
00:14:42.357 --> 00:14:45.807 Doug Ford doesn't decide policy for Canada.
00:14:45.807 --> 00:14:48.490 Doug Ford will never decide policy for canada.
00:14:48.490 --> 00:14:51.375 And I see stewart turned off his camera because he's pissed off at me.
00:14:51.375 --> 00:14:52.056 What a surprise.
00:14:52.056 --> 00:15:02.938 The point is, stewart, that canada, justin trudeau, has proven once again he is incompetent, incapable and like it's time for him to go.
00:15:02.938 --> 00:15:09.096 Do us all a favor, resign as prime minister and call an election.
00:15:09.255 --> 00:15:11.686 But you know what I'm just laughing at as we wrap up this rant.
00:15:11.686 --> 00:15:14.051 David, I'm not arguing with you.
00:15:14.051 --> 00:15:16.196 I think the guy's a big dildo.
00:15:16.196 --> 00:15:18.187 I think the guy needs to be removed from office.
00:15:18.187 --> 00:15:25.047 I think anyone that votes for a clown like that is so disconnected from the value system that canada was created on.
00:15:25.047 --> 00:15:27.169 He's literally the anti-canadian.
00:15:27.169 --> 00:15:36.200 But you know, David, I was just giving you a recap of the insanity from the 10 provinces and the two territories that got together.
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.182 Well, I guess you have three.
00:15:40.346 --> 00:15:42.412 Wrap it up for you because you've been away from Canada.
00:15:42.412 --> 00:15:43.475 What's the third territory?
00:15:43.475 --> 00:15:45.230 Let's move on, stuart.
00:15:45.230 --> 00:15:46.330 What's the third territory?
00:15:46.330 --> 00:15:48.605 David Stuart, can you look it up yourself?
00:15:48.605 --> 00:15:51.232 I'm not going to indignify that with a.
00:15:51.433 --> 00:15:52.155 I want to hear them.
00:15:52.155 --> 00:15:53.147 Well, what are the territories?
00:15:53.147 --> 00:15:57.294 David, yukon, stuart, northwest territories when are we?
00:15:57.294 --> 00:15:58.297 What else are we doing.
00:15:58.297 --> 00:15:59.399 What's the third territory?
00:16:00.485 --> 00:16:04.817 Stuart, the Yukon, the Northwest territories and none of it is called the third territory.
00:16:04.817 --> 00:16:11.346 Thank you so much for playing our game and please wrap this up.
00:16:11.366 --> 00:16:16.061 Don't start, please, when you move, and let's bring this to a close, please, for the empire strikes back the rent net.
