Donald Trump keeps poking and poking Canada. Big mistake, Donald, that ridiculous cabinet meeting he had yesterday. Here's what he said. Let's play it. It's not fair for us to be supporting Canada. And if we don't support them, they don't subsist as a nation. Don't subsist as a nation. I'm here with Canadian Member of Parliament, Charlie Angus. You saw what he was saying yesterday at the cabinet meeting. What's your response to him?
You know, I think the thing in Canada is we're just getting really tired of this. This guy's a convicted felon. He's a sexual predator. He just keeps poking us. He turned what could have been a really fun game. I mean, nothing better than a good hockey rivalry. He turned it into a hate fest, and Canadians were determined we were going to win that. What I sense on the ground right now is, is whether he brings tariffs or not, we're in this to win and we're in this to push back. So every time Donald pushes us, it actually is destroying what's left of mega maple in Canada. And it's making everyone else say, yeah, okay, he wants to fight. I'm up for it. I got little old lady grandmothers who are telling me they're going out to do whatever they got to do.
They're going to fight because Donald just doesn't get it. The more he pushes, the more determined we are to push back.
As Jeremiah Johnson said, this is one of the most astonishing polling charts I've ever seen. Trump's impact on Canadian politics is insane. You see the support of Maple MAGA crashing. That's the Pierre Poliev Conservative Party. And now you see under a Mark Carney Liberal Party, your NDP party, but under the Carney Party, the Liberal Party now seems like they're on the verge of being able to to form a government potentially, which no one thought if you went back two or three months ago was a possibility. Have you ever seen anything like, you've been in Canadian politics for a long time, have you ever seen anything like this?
Well, I do want to say that I've been feeling for a long time that this mega maple thing in Canada was going to run its course. The fact that it's dropped as dramatically as it has. Thanks, Donald. You've done us a favor because Pierre Polyev and his politics are toxic. It's hate politics. It's the pitchforks politics of blame and hate and rage. And I always felt that Canadians weren't going to go there. But once Elon Musk tells Canadians how much he likes Pierre Polyev, well, you can bet. that that's going to kill the conservative brand and they don't know what to do right now so they're scrambling uh whether or not mark carney is going to be fully ascended i don't know but what i think is we're going to see the conservative numbers in canada drop a lot more because people are looking at project 2025 they're looking at the rage and destruction that donald trump is unleashing and the alienation that he's creating around the world and canadians are thinking okay
So if this is what MAGA looks like, there's no damn way we're going to vote for it in Canada. So he's certainly damaged his allies in Canada. But then who are his real allies? It looks like his real allies are North Korea and Russia. You know, there would have been a time that any American leader who wanted to side with Russia and North Korea would have been obviously identified as a traitor to the nation and a traitor to American values. And now CNN say, no, he's being unorthodox. So Donald's picking his allies in the world, and it's certainly alienating his real allies, and Canada is not going to go down that road with him.
Talk about this petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship in Canada that you've been supporting. I think it's going to be one of the most widely distributed and signed petitions in the history of Canada in general. Tell us about what's going on there.
Well, the great thing about Canadian democracy is people can bring petitions forward to Parliament on anything. They can bring it on highway safety. They can bring it on natural health products. Sometimes a petition gets 500 or 1,000 or 6,000 people to sign. What you need is a parliamentarian who's willing to bring it forward.
