Chapter 1: Who is Charlie Angus and what is his stance on Trump?
And no criminal, fascist, gangster and his muscolini friends are going to come in and decide what our relationship on our land, on our resources is going to be decided.
We will decide that future because we will decide that together. Because that's the journey we're on.
Elbows up, Canada. That was former member of parliament Charlie Angus speaking in Edmonton, Alberta to a packed crowd right there. And he was not mincing words. By the way, I've got my story of chat mania, the story of Chapman ice cream right here. You know, I love my chat. Canadian products and, of course, my Chapman ice cream.
Chapter 2: How is Canada retaliating against Trump's tariffs?
Let's talk about some of the headlines, how Canada is just putting the dagger into the Trump regime, as Charlie Angus says, on the front lines of the resistance internationally. We see headlines like this. America's struggling wine industry is getting crushed by global tariffs, plus Canada's Canada's retaliation to them.
Even if the tariffs were to be reversed tomorrow, one wine business leader said it would take at least a year, if not longer for my industry to recover. It's showing that Canada's boycott on all things American and boycotting American tourism is is working. And Canada set that example now for the rest of the world.
Chapter 3: What economic impacts are Trump's policies having on the US wine industry?
I think we're seeing around a 90 billion plus dollar revenue hit to the United States from the boycotts caused by the Trump regime's maltreatment of the international community and our allies. And let's just call it what it is, threatening war and annexation of our allies. Just Take a listen to this.
Canada's break from American made wine and the Trump administration's global tariffs have compounded the struggles of the United States already stressed wine industry to the point that it may be difficult for much of it to come back from it at all. An American wine organization leader told NBC News. Canada is the single most important export market for U.S.
wines, with retail sales in excess of $1.1 billion annually. Robert Koch, the California Wine Institute's president and CEO, said in a statement, and look, that's one of the reasons why California's Governor Gavin Newsom went out there and tried to sue Donald Trump for the tariffs, and he's trying to get Canada's business back into California, but Canadians are saying, look,
We're not doing it because Donald Trump has threatened a war on Canada. He said we're going to be the 51st state. Canada strong, Canada united. The boycott persists. That's what Canadians are saying. I mean, take a look at this data as well as posted by Spencer at Kimmy. Chinese purchases of American oil down significantly. Canadian oil up.
as international buyers of oil and other things are looking elsewhere other than the United States. I love seeing these Never 51 jerseys in these stands in Canada. I also love seeing in the 50-51 protests across America and the rest of the world that took place over this weekend, although... You wouldn't know from watching corporate news that there were millions of protesters out there.
You would know that from watching the Midas Touch Network. I love seeing signs like this. Hands off Canada. And again, signs like that in the U.S. United States pro-democracy movement stands in solidarity with Canada. We understand you got to do what you got to do. the way we understand Europe and elsewhere.

Chapter 4: How are Canadians responding to Trump's threats and trade policies?
Got to do what they got to do to stand up to this guy right here who spent the weekend, Donald Trump, roaming around his golf course, pretending that he was going to Easter services, which he was not, and posting deranged message after deranged message, wearing a hat that says Gulf of America. By the way, did you catch this article from Politico? It chronicles a guy by the name of
Jim Diodati right here. You see him right here. We didn't even see the border until now. How Trump has driven Canadians and Americans apart. Trump's punishing tariffs have big implications for the upcoming Canadian election. You think? You think? Here's what it says. The mayor of Niagara Falls in Canada is not American, but he's so close. Jim Diodati has an almost American accent.
American cousins and American best friends. You go on to read it and it says Diodati's affinity for all things American was one so strong that he would have voted for Donald Trump. It talks about how he loved the art of the deal. He was a big Trump fan apparently. He even liked Trump winning the second time. I don't really understand that at all. Diodati, not going to lie. It's kind of lame.
Kind of is doing a lot of work right there. Diodati's new posture towards the U.S. president is evident on the mantelpiece in his office, where Diodati has prominently displayed two hats. Canada is not for sale and 51 with a line through it. They sit next to some other decor cannonballs.
from the War of 1812, the last time the United States tried unsuccessfully to conquer Canada in an armed conflict. Also, it should be noted that one of the other leaks that came out this weekend was Trump mulling a major overhaul of the U.S. State Department, where it would basically shrink all of its offices and diplomatic staff in Canada.
And again, that's one of the precursors to the very adverse and hostile actions that the Trump regime is taking towards Canada. And elsewhere from the Globe and Mail home sweet home, tariff chaos has made many companies consider moving to the U.S., but these ones won't. are going all in on Canada instead.
It's the Canadian businesses staying in Canada, ain't going to the United States, in other words. All right, let's take a look at that first video I played for you right here. This is Charlie Angus in his stop in Edmonton, Alberta for his resistance tour, Elbows Up Charlie. Here's what Charlie has to say. Play this clip right here.
And no criminal, fascist, gangster and his muscolini friends are going to come in and decide what our relationship on our land, on our resources is going to be decided.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of Jim Diodati's change in attitude toward Trump?
We will decide that future because we will decide that together because that's the journey we're on.
And I had the ability to interview Charlie Angus before this weekend. Let me show you what he said to me. Play this clip.
I think what's really concerning is that an idiot like Trump has been allowed to monkey wrench the global economy without anybody stepping in and saying, whoa, Donald, what the heck are you doing?
When we see him tariffing poor Madagascar because Madagascar doesn't buy enough product from the United States, Madagascar is too poor to buy product from the United States, but they offer Americans cheap chocolates. Donald Trump picks a fight with them. The on again, off again tariffs in terms of auto, nobody even knows where that stands.
Right now, South Dakota is freaking out, North Dakota, the farmers in Montana, because you have an integrated border in terms of ag trade, $70 billion. All that's in chaos right now. I think he's pushing us towards a major, definitely an American recession, probably a global recession and maybe a depression if he doesn't step back. But it's up and down.
And the thing that really strikes me about Trump and his crew is a really, really tough until you stand up to them and then they blink. And that's certainly what's happened with Canada and Canada has been very strong. And then they come back at it a second and a third time. The feeling I'm getting from Canadians is they don't care what Trump does next. We're going to do what we're going to do.
We're looking to rebuild our economy. And we're going to do it without our former ally, our former friend, our former partner. We're going to have to take steps that we're going to take because we simply cannot trust the American regime anymore.

Chapter 7: What did Charlie Angus say in his interview about Trump's global economic impact?
Let me show you one more great moment from that speech of Charlie Angus in Edmonton, Alberta. Let's play this clip.
Right. They cannot stand that on the largest on guarded border in the world, there's a country that lives by the rule of law.
A country that lives by a now term that they hate more than anything. D-E-I.
Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. That's what defines us and that's what we're going to defend. And they will not take that from us.
I can tell you, I've talked to organizations working with youth who do cross North America events who've been told they have to change the language here in Canada to say nothing about inclusivity. Because it'll affect possible American funding.
I've talked to people from universities in Canada who, when they're holding talks... Then you had Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, who's running for the Prime Minister. He's during this caretaker period. Snap elections take place April 28th. There's already the early polling that's been open. He's in Nepean, Ontario, right here. And here he is talking about, you know,
We don't like Donald Trump here in Canada. And you can hear how the crowd feels about Trump. Let's play it.
You know, this is the most consequential vote of our lifetimes because President Trump has ignited a trade war that has ruptured, ruptured, ruptured. We don't like Trump here. We don't like Trump here. Ruptured the global economy and changed forever our relationship with the United States. That old relationship is over, unfortunately. Never 51, never 51. It is a tragedy.
It is a tragedy, but it's the new reality. And we're responding. We are responding with purpose and with force. On se bat, on protéger et on bâtir. We are fighting back with tariffs of our own that are causing maximum damage in the United States with minimum impact here. We are protecting. We are protecting our workers by taking all the dollars.

Chapter 8: Where can listeners find more information and support from sponsors?
We didn't ask for this fight. But yeah, exactly. But Canadians are always ready when someone drops the gloves. And in a trade war, in a trade war, just like in hockey, we will win. You know,
As Charlie Angus says, elbows up. You hear the crowd there as well in Nepean, Ontario, how pissed people are at Donald Trump there. There's record early voter turnout in Canada already. It's breaking all records. People seem fired up.
And I think one of the things that they want to avoid there, and you tell me what you think, is that the leader of the conservative party, this guy, Pierre Poliev, is maple maga. I mean, this was a guy who did all of the right wing podcast, the Elon Musk promotion tour, etc. You know, it's interesting that Angus is in Alberta, led by the premier, Danielle Smith.
And she was serving as basically an emissary for Pierre Poliev. She's Maple Mag as well. She was the only premier who really wasn't united with all of the others. She went down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the gangster's ring. As Charlie Angus likes to say, she tried to deliver messages to have Trump interfere with the elections in Canada. She got busted for that, working with Pierre Poliev there.
Here's a quick video that was just put out on Poliev. Let's play this clip. Could you tell us, like, can you point to some people who will be key in your administration?
We've got newcomers like Jamil Javani.
While enrolled at Yale Law School, Vance met Jamil Javani. The Conservative MP was elected to Parliament in a by-election earlier this year. They are, in Javani's words, best friends.
My friend, J.D. Vance. There is no way that Canada can win a trade war with the United States. Because you don't boo the United States of America. And to Canada, if you guys don't win, the tariffs are even higher.
