Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think a lot of people, you know, he's not my cup of tea. but a lot of people were really swept. He was sort of like this matinee idol. A lot of people got caught up in that.
But as far as the intellectual milieu, if there was such a thing, around his emergence... Well, I mean, everybody was willing to give him a chance. I was willing to give him a chance. I remember speaking to him back when he was running for office, running for, you know, in the election. that period. And I was definitely willing to give them a shot. Why? Well, we spoke a lot about Syria. Yeah.
And I have many friends and comrades who are associated with the Syrian revolutionary movement. And what the NATO countries, what was being asked of the NATO countries at the time was a no-fly zone over Syria. All we need is one NATO country to say, yes, we need to do this. Because the Americans couldn't really understand what was going on.
And everyone hoped that it might be Trudeau who said, yeah, I'm in. And he did give me, and of course there was the whole Syrian refugee issue, and he did try to, he made a lot of capital, political capital out of that. We can come to that in a moment. But to understand who he represents and what he's all about, You have to wind the clock back further.
You remember when Michael Ignatieff was briefly the leader of the Liberal Party?
Well, he's a very smart guy, Michael Ignatieff.
He was an intellectual heavyweight. Yeah, he was actually. I like Michael. I mean, just as an intellectual.
You know, if you can imagine a kind of... Oh, I don't know. A TikTok account run by a 19-year-old college girl in charge of a G7 country. 14-year-old. Okay. But anyway, so he emerges. How does he present himself to the Liberal Party as a worthwhile leader of the party? Yeah. And for this, he turned to McKinsey & Associates. Consulting firm. Massive global consulting firm.
The apologist for dictators everywhere. I think, I don't know how many billions of dollars they've had to pay out in lawsuits for boosting... oxycontin sales in the United States, a fellow by the name of Dominic Barton, who happened to be a Canadian who spent half his life in China as the head of McKinsey.
Trudeau brought him in, and essentially to add gravitas to his candidacy for the Liberal Party,
It is a small town. Yes.
Ottawa. He was essentially a function of the Canada-China Business Council. This is a really important thing for people to understand. His entire campaign was built around the proposition, and this is how he sort of lent gravitas to himself, that the key to the future is China. Canada's future is China. The middle class prosperity is all about China, China, China.
And this immediately, you know, he immediately accrued to himself a lot of money and a lot of power and a lot of help. The Demare Corporation, the Power Corporation in Montreal, those whole circles. And of course, his father...
And people don't like to talk about this when they talk about Pierre Trudeau, but he was probably the most important propaganda asset for the Chinese Communist Party during the Maoist period in the English-speaking world. That's nothing.
So, you know, and Trudeau would trade in this and say, well, you know, they know me in China, you know, I can have a family name. And a lot of that was sort of glossed over. People didn't notice what was going on.
Well, all I can tell you is that, you know, two things happened in 2001. What happened, the atrocities in New York and Washington, the Al-Qaeda atrocities, and the moment that the West put a knife to its own throat only three months later by admitting China into the World Trade Organization. This is a massive event.
And I mean, I think there were a lot of people of good faith who imagined that the more China modernized and became capitalist, they'd become more like us. People who understood China knew this was rubbish. It was not going to happen.
Yeah, yeah. Okay? And, I mean, anybody who's followed Canadian politics at all
In the last five years, we'll be aware of the scandals associated with the intimacies between the Trudeau liberals and the United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party and the Organization Department of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party, the manipulation and monkey wrenching of elections in 2019 and 2021. Yeah, we still don't know the full extent of that.
