As news of Trudeau's resignation emerges, this episode highlights the mounting frustration among Canadians over pressing issues like unaffordable housing, rising crime, and insufficient infrastructure to support immigration policies. We challenge Trudeau's priorities, questioning his misguided focus on pledging international aid while neglecting the basic needs of indigenous communities. The time for him to go is NOW!

00:00:46.734 --> 00:00:56.909 Welcome to the Rant Network, where no topic is off-limit, as David was tooling around with his Justin Trudeau bobblehead.
00:00:56.909 --> 00:01:01.869 Yep, david, you know you look like it with the mouth wide open.
00:01:01.869 --> 00:01:04.188 I know it's kind of scary, right it is.
00:01:04.188 --> 00:01:04.703 You look like you with the mouth wide open, all right?
00:01:04.703 --> 00:01:05.394 No, it's kind of scary, right it is.
00:01:05.322 --> 00:01:35.233 You know there's been a double boost this morning, uh, in canada, one that uh, the, the, uh not respected prime minister, little justin trudeau, uh, allegedly maybe to be nominated for the 51st state for united states, or maybe it's because the Canadian dollar is rallying on the fact that he actually may resign in advance to the January 8th National Caucus.
00:01:35.233 --> 00:01:48.060 Now, let's be honest, president Trump was mulling over a less aggressive tariff that had Justin Trudeau on the birdie to Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:59.112 That would have you think that maybe he's trying to, you know, calm down Donald J before he takes office and eviscerate Canada and turn it into the 51st state.
00:01:59.112 --> 00:02:04.722 But you know Canadians don't like to hear that and I don't exactly disagree.
00:02:04.722 --> 00:02:05.784 It is kind of nasty.
00:02:05.784 --> 00:02:15.235 But when you got a prime minister like Trudeau running around the second generation failure family in politics, you know I don't know.
00:02:15.235 --> 00:02:21.330 David, this is your backyard, so I'm going to let you sort of rant a little bit about it.
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:27.250 Well, thank you, stuart, because I got to tell you it's happy days might be starting here in 2025.
00:02:27.250 --> 00:02:27.911 Let's get real.
00:02:27.911 --> 00:02:44.412 Justin Trudeau has been an absolute sham, stuart sham as prime minister, and time and time again, people are saying well, you know, and making excuses for good old JT, but Justin's like it's finally hit the.
00:02:44.412 --> 00:02:45.413 It finally hit the skids.
00:02:45.413 --> 00:02:57.250 And the big part was last fall or late last fall, when he tried to force his then finance minister, chrystia Freeland, to pass this wacky doodle financial idea.
00:02:57.250 --> 00:02:58.673 Okay, get a load of this.
00:02:59.419 --> 00:03:05.456 So Canada, as I've talked about, was projected to have a $40 billion deficit in 2024.
00:03:05.456 --> 00:03:09.967 Instead it's $60 billion, so we're $20 billion over budget.
00:03:09.967 --> 00:03:17.092 Now, folks imagine, if you will, you made a budget, you spend 50% more than you took in and then you told everybody good news, let's spend more.
00:03:17.092 --> 00:03:18.980 How are we going to spend more?
00:03:18.980 --> 00:03:31.467 We're going to send everybody a $200, $50 check if you made over a certain amount of money, if you had certain this da-da-da and it was going to be another $6 billion of cash sent out to people, otherwise known as bribery.
00:03:31.467 --> 00:03:34.526 Well, that was shot down.
00:03:34.526 --> 00:03:41.292 Fortunately, his coalition government with the socialist NDP party shot it down.
00:03:41.292 --> 00:03:50.251 But then, yeah, this other birdbrain scheme of eliminating the federal sales tax on beer and chips during the holidays kind of give everybody a holiday.
00:03:50.251 --> 00:03:54.295 You know diapers and all that stuff because you know families need a little bit of extra money.
00:03:54.295 --> 00:04:00.573 And let me tell you, 5% can go a long way, but that means it's $5 for every $100 you're spending.
00:04:00.573 --> 00:04:06.948 Seniors weren't entitled to it, and if you work for yourself, you weren't entitled to it.
00:04:06.948 --> 00:04:13.018 So Justin was playing again with money, trying to say how good a guy he was, and that was the straw that broke Christy Friedland's back.
00:04:13.018 --> 00:04:18.036 And this was where, finally, people woke up and said you know what, justin?
00:04:18.036 --> 00:04:19.584 It's time for you to walk away.
00:04:20.567 --> 00:04:27.303 We have 342 ridings here in Canada, stuart, and the way our political system works, unlike the United States, is we don't vote for the prime minister.
00:04:27.303 --> 00:04:32.062 It's as if whoever would win, congress becomes the leader, and that's what we have.
00:04:32.062 --> 00:04:42.865 That's the parliamentary system in Canada we've adopted from the British, and right now, if you look at it today, the conservatives are looking at a landslide victory, similar to what just happened south of the border.
00:04:42.865 --> 00:04:57.447 But, stuart, what Justin Trudeau is doing as prime minister resembles Joe Biden, and whoever is his successor is likely to be the next Kamala Harris, even if it's Mark Carney, the former governor of Canada, his chances?
00:04:58.490 --> 00:05:04.963 The ideology, the woke ideology that is so embedded in the Liberal Party, stuart, is a disaster.
00:05:04.963 --> 00:05:26.702 So let me ask you this question before I continue my rant, knowing what you know, how the Democrats lost the election and the way they lost the election, if you were to advise the next leader of Canada, the next Liberal leader of Canada, how to run the election, let's say you, because in all likelihood, with you not really knowing what's going on in Canada, you're probably right on the money.
00:05:53.548 --> 00:06:02.812 You know, I think that this has been charged all over the worldons and men's bathrooms, and all this insane stuff needs to come to an end.
00:06:02.812 --> 00:06:08.778 If you feel that you're a duck, that's good, I don't care, just don't bother me with it.
00:06:08.778 --> 00:06:14.035 I'm not changing the walkways so that ducks can walk up and down the street.
00:06:14.035 --> 00:06:22.437 You know, there's certain things that we've got to sort of hold true, and that is, you know, united States, canada.
00:06:22.437 --> 00:06:48.571 The world is based off of certain Christian, judea morals that have governed us, and the experiment called the United States of America, the longest experiment that's successful thus far, seems to prove that common sense in Canada should probably fall into line as being the third largest, longest experiment.
00:06:48.571 --> 00:07:12.197 Now, the difference in Canada and the United States is, you're right, canada is a parliamentary system and the United States is a true republic, very, very different by nature and governance, but all the same, when it comes to the people that live in Canada, live in the United States, I don't want to be bothered.
00:07:12.197 --> 00:07:12.918 I don't want to be bothered.
00:07:12.918 --> 00:07:30.040 I don't want to be bothered let's be honest with you, and I think everyone sort of knows this with stupidity, things that are just irrelevant, like I don't want to know about the 0.001 percent of the population and how they're disenfranchised, and now we're going to take 99.9% of the population and make them suffer as a result.
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.442 I don't think this works.
00:07:31.442 --> 00:07:51.961 I think Trudeau is just someone who fell off a Duncan tree and he really needs to just walk away and let someone who's more of a moderate, someone who's more of a realist, someone that lives in the modern world, govern, because I think Canada is a great country.
00:07:52.454 --> 00:07:54.201 I think there's great people from Canada.
00:07:54.201 --> 00:07:55.685 David, you're from Canada.
00:07:55.685 --> 00:08:02.805 I don't think you're half bad most of the time, except when you try and pick on me and then I'm going to get angry with you.
00:08:02.805 --> 00:08:04.339 But we're not going that way.
00:08:04.339 --> 00:08:05.221 That was last year.
00:08:05.221 --> 00:08:10.583 We're in a new year, but, david, why hasn't he done this before?
00:08:10.583 --> 00:08:12.185 You know there's been a call.
00:08:13.048 --> 00:08:15.744 But hold on, here's something I want to plant in your head.
00:08:15.744 --> 00:08:21.059 Let me plant something in your head, ok, because you didn't really answer the question, which is you could be a politician like that.
00:08:21.059 --> 00:08:40.168 But the reason I'm throwing this question out at you is because, if you look at the G7 countries right now that are out there, there have been some radical changes, my friend, in these governments, ok, namely, of course, we saw the big election in the United States and the UK, where the country literally flipped on its head in a majority.
00:08:40.168 --> 00:08:41.960 Japan just went through it.
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.922 Germany is about to go through it.
00:08:43.922 --> 00:08:46.711 Italy changed just not that long ago.
00:08:47.114 --> 00:09:10.469 Okay, if you look at, if you look at other countries, okay, they are right now teetering on political change and what people are not paying attention to is that you know Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron, the two leaders who've been there the longest since you know, since the G7, because there's been so many changes.
00:09:10.469 --> 00:09:18.143 Macron's life is political, life is in nature, and now Trudeau's done, and what ends up happening is because of the disenfranchised.
00:09:18.143 --> 00:09:23.279 People are disenfranchised, they're so fed up, and what I asked you was what would you advise?
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.085 The liberal leader is the reason I'm asking.
00:09:25.085 --> 00:09:30.306 That is because it's simple the problems facing Canada is the problems facing all these countries.
00:09:30.815 --> 00:09:32.201 The economy is crap.
00:09:32.201 --> 00:09:33.956 People cannot afford homes.
00:09:33.956 --> 00:09:36.899 Okay, people can't afford food on the table.
00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:39.767 Crime is through the roof in Canada.
00:09:39.767 --> 00:09:41.010 Okay, we are one of the.
00:09:41.010 --> 00:09:42.787 We're the auto capital theft.
00:09:42.787 --> 00:09:46.826 It's unbelievable the amount of cars that are being stolen and being shipped to the Middle East.
00:09:46.826 --> 00:09:48.927 You can't imagine what's going on here.
00:09:48.927 --> 00:09:50.481 Right, immigration.
00:09:50.481 --> 00:09:53.605 The policy in Canada immigration is different than the United States.
00:09:53.605 --> 00:09:54.942 Right One.
00:09:54.942 --> 00:09:59.710 There was a brilliant idea of growing our population through immigration.
00:09:59.710 --> 00:10:01.403 That's why we went north of 40 million.
00:10:01.403 --> 00:10:04.490 Hold on hold, on hold on Wait wait, wait.
00:10:07.779 --> 00:10:21.047 The key to this one is we went north of 40 million because we're taking in over 400,000 immigrants per year, but there are no jobs for them, there's no infrastructure for them, and so the goal is these crazy people thought by 20,000, by the end of this century.
00:10:21.047 --> 00:10:29.312 They want us to beat 100 million people now, like, or or even after that, and I'm like in what world does this make any goddamn sense?
00:10:33.206 --> 00:10:39.481 stewart got himself a new toy no, I wanted to blow an air horn because you're, you're, you're, you're on a roll.
00:10:39.481 --> 00:10:43.152 But I want to stop that roll and blow some hot air up Trudeau's ass.
00:10:43.152 --> 00:10:51.070 Listen, like I said, no one likes to see, david.
00:10:51.070 --> 00:10:55.556 I think I want to bring this back to a humanoid type of conversation.
00:10:55.556 --> 00:11:05.102 Everyone walks down the street, whether you're in Montreal, toronto, miami, florida or New York, and sees someone less fortunate.
00:11:05.102 --> 00:11:08.089 We all feel for that person.
00:11:08.089 --> 00:11:15.331 Some of us throw change into a bag for them or a box, or buy an apple or an orange or do something kind.
00:11:15.331 --> 00:11:19.342 We all want to do something kind for someone less fortunate.
00:11:19.342 --> 00:11:27.768 The problem, david, isn't the fact that every Canadian, american or every person doesn't feel this way.
00:11:27.768 --> 00:11:32.604 It's the methods in which they try to resolve the problem.
00:11:32.604 --> 00:11:35.610 I reach in my pocket and I give a dollar.
00:11:35.610 --> 00:11:37.922 You reach in your pocket, you get 50 cents.
00:11:37.922 --> 00:11:42.091 Trudeau goes in his pocket and says fuck you, I'm giving my money.
00:11:42.091 --> 00:11:45.325 I'm going to give your money away, $50.
00:11:45.325 --> 00:11:48.289 And that's where lies the problem.
00:11:48.551 --> 00:11:52.264 Well, well, let me, let me, let me help, can I help?
00:11:52.264 --> 00:11:59.847 Let me help our listeners and take what you just said and I'll let me put, because people are gonna say, oh, they're those stupid nagging conservative guys all over again.
00:11:59.847 --> 00:12:02.633 But let me give you a couple of ideas, folks, what Stuart is saying.
00:12:02.633 --> 00:12:13.711 Okay, he tried to bail out a hydroelectric project in Newfoundland which should have never been built, never make money if it is ever finished, and he put in $5.2 billion into that Gone.
00:12:13.711 --> 00:12:17.945 He pledged $2.65 billion at the Commonwealth Leadership Summit to fight climate change.
00:12:17.945 --> 00:12:22.626 Even though Canada's massive wetlands, farmland and vast forests act as a carbon sink.
00:12:22.626 --> 00:12:23.868 It makes zero sense.
00:12:24.089 --> 00:12:33.556 He pledged 840 million to Syrian humanitarian aid, but not a cent towards the indigenous population of Canada that needs it for clean drinking water.
00:12:33.556 --> 00:12:37.865 He imposed these crazy, crazy taxes all over the place.
00:12:37.865 --> 00:12:48.787 He attempted to hand over an unneeded contract of a, after Trudeau's mother and brother received around $300,000 from the we Charity from their gigs.
00:12:48.787 --> 00:12:52.985 Okay, and on, and on, and on and on.
00:12:52.985 --> 00:12:55.703 He spent money that we just don't have.
00:12:55.703 --> 00:13:10.052 He bankrupted Canada and at the same time, stuart, here's a politician who, over his nine years, we've watched the productivity rate in this country drop to a point where people don't want to invest in Canada, yep.
00:13:10.052 --> 00:13:11.660 Thank you very much, justin.
00:13:13.275 --> 00:13:14.899 You know, look like I said.
00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:18.227 You know people have had enough with the insanity.
00:13:18.227 --> 00:13:22.864 David, you're going about it from a Canadian perspective viewpoint.
00:13:22.884 --> 00:13:23.765 I shouldn't tell you.
00:13:23.765 --> 00:13:24.967 Shouldn't tell you it's my country.
00:13:24.988 --> 00:13:31.120 no, and I'm giving it from looking at it from the outside in, and it's not as a conservative.
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.698 I'm an American, there's no question.
00:13:33.698 --> 00:13:42.894 I'm an American, and whether you're a conservative or a liberal, you're an American in my country and you're a Canadian in your country.
00:13:42.894 --> 00:14:06.549 And I think the political bias and divisiveness which was fun and created in the 80s more so than any other year, and then blew up in the 90s, is something that is wrong, and I think that we fail to recognize that you're a Canadian, david, first, before you are a conservative or a liberal.
00:14:06.549 --> 00:14:12.488 And in the United States, I'm an American before I'm a conservative or a liberal, and in the United States, I'm an American before I'm a Democrat or a Republican.
00:14:12.488 --> 00:14:27.115 And I think that common sense is what is missing in our lives today, and I think that common sense, david, would bring the guys like Justin Trudeau out of the limelight and into the shadows, where they belong, david.
00:14:27.115 --> 00:14:28.322 Last word before we wrap it up.
00:14:28.654 --> 00:14:39.120 I love the word, the words use common sense, because that's what the Conservatives use as their platform, which, by the way, it's interesting, the Trump administration, trump election campaign picked up on that and said, hey, why don't we use common sense?
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.846 And that has been lacking in Canada for a very long time.
00:14:42.846 --> 00:14:52.788 So, thankfully, if and when, you know, trudeau resigns today, tomorrow, whenever it's going to be, I think Canadians will be happy because they're fed up of the BS.
00:14:52.788 --> 00:14:53.610 They're fed up of it.
00:14:53.610 --> 00:15:02.908 And you know what, stuart, it's going to be a very, very radical change in Canada, very much like what you just saw in the United States.
00:15:03.315 --> 00:15:09.087 People are tired of being told how to act, how to be, how to whatever.
00:15:09.087 --> 00:15:12.763 I think happier days are ahead finally in Canada.
00:15:12.763 --> 00:15:16.918 And you know what, ironically, they're still talking here about.
00:15:16.918 --> 00:15:18.942 We need a good liberal leader to fight.
00:15:18.942 --> 00:15:21.729 You know, joe, I'm sorry.
00:15:21.729 --> 00:15:36.861 Donald Trump's tariff attack and the same day that he's that, that trump and his administration going we're not going after 25, we're going to go after a smarter tariff system just goes to show you how people here just can't handle the need for real change.
00:15:36.861 --> 00:15:37.825 But that's the media for you.
00:15:37.904 --> 00:15:42.321 I'm going to go off on a whole you know, so you don't get so off topic.
00:15:42.321 --> 00:15:47.836 In the news today you're hearing all the doom and gloom and and get worried.
00:15:47.836 --> 00:16:02.532 That trump guys are coming in is all over every single newscast, whether you're listening to Bloomberg, whether you're on Reuters network, like I am on El Seg whether you're listening to ABC, nbc or CNN or MSN Lost NBC.
00:16:02.532 --> 00:16:09.741 I got to be honest with you, it's just absolutely hilarious and I give you a nice round of applause.
00:16:10.102 --> 00:16:13.980 All right, stuart, let's say goodbye.
00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:16.147 Let's say goodbye, bye.
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.500 Let's bring this another rant episode network to the close.
