If they cared about canada and Canadians they would call parliament back right now and do the job WE pay them for
Perfectly said.
They would also pause the carbon tax, could you imagine it increasing in April while tariffs are placed on us?
100%, Their vacation needs to be OVER by now !
Yes because they are selfish , don’t care about 44 millions people , they more worry for the next election ! Which is pathetic !
if trudeau would, get it right.
👏 Hats off to Premier Smith, smartest and most practical of them all.
Absolutely…makes the drama Queen, carbon tax Prince, the motley fool Doug like absolute fools without any interpersonal skills
You telling me they left it till the 11th hour to find out what was needed to stave off tariffs…..so like Canadians who have absolutely no idea how to elect and hold a government accountable.
100% smart lady
She is okay 😊👍
Exactly I am proud of how Danielle has responded and even had to endure some Albertans and other Canadians
CBC in this hour has 22 minutes called Ms Smith a traitor and showed 'her' impersonator in derogatory manner;CBC does not help Canada at all?
@@LeRoi715 why concern ourselves with the rest of the country? Where were they for us? All they do is take, now they want support? Come on Alberta, it’s an abusive relationship that needs to end.
@@LeRoi715they should be removed from TV
This is why Danielle Smith cannot be trusted. ua-cam.com/video/WPMg-hIbmQI/v-deo.htmlsi=uYvRWsT39ibjzEtv.
@@LeRoi715 CBC works for the Liberal party and its audience is tiny now. Sadly, 22 mins is equally diminished.
Danielle Smith is the best Alberta Politician and a Proud Canadian! ❤
Election NOW!! This proroguation is obscene!
we wish ...they do not want to leave!
Carbon Carney - time to challenge the entire climate lie!!
According to Liz Truss (ex- PM of UK), Carney is a danger to Canada.
Many thanks team. Danielle Smith all the way.
United State: “Help us stop the flow of deadly drugs into our country, it’s killing our people.”
Canada: “No! Let’s have a trade war instead.”
Exactly this…. Why did we not want to help them? Our friends and biggest trading partner?? I’m embarrassed by all our federal leaders. Premier Smith has been empathetic and effective. The only one.
No country is more responsible for the global drug supply than the US. You're living in a fantasy.
Stop the guns coming into canada...
How about all the illegal guns coming across our border?
@@janeychejake Not only that, but Premiere Ford of Ontario's first reaction was to threaten to cut off electricity to Michigan and New York.
Think about the message this sends to the WORLD: not only are Canadian politicians unwilling to even try to reduce the current deaths, but their response to their "closest friends" is to up the ante and threaten to kill millions more by stranding them without power in wintertime...
Let's be honest. Danielle Smith did ALL the work and JustDIM walks in at the last minute and plays hero. She's the hero. Trudeau is still Canada's biggest loser.
Smith is no hero.. 90% of the country knows this. Down with Alberta and Trumptard
Trudeau keeps busy protecting his crooked Liberal ministers.
For sure, his own Ministers' asked JustDim :) He resigned he should not be speaking for Canadians. Nor should he have a hand or take credit for Conservative Danielle Smiths' Agchievement in Negotion with President Trump. I will now and forever more vote Conservative. (I'm in Ontario.). Not into all the stupid people that think Truedumb and Liberal minister 's did alot for Canada. It's Laughable.. NDP Jughead Singh ruined his party.
He ties with animal torturer Doug Ford.
@janicespencer5588 At some point you should begin thinking for yourself instead of regurgitating putz Poillievre's lies.
And April 1 is pay raise for our hard working politicians, how appropriate , only problem is who are the fools
another huge jump in carbon theft on that day, too!
Why are you not discussing Mark Carney claiming to be a Canadian Official? He is not an MP he is not elected he does not represent a riding. Why are you not talking about the letter Mark Carney wrote regarding how he was in close communication with our foreign affairs minister? This is something that needs to be investigated. He does not represent any Canadians. Again he is not an MP he is not representative in any way in the provincial federal or even municipal level. Why is no one talking about this undermining of our democracy?
🤡Kearney is going to be appointed not elected. And yes, I miss spelt that on purpose.
I hope your comment gets some attention. People I work with love this guy without knowing any of his background. We’re surrounded by idiots.
He us Trudeau 2.0 ! God I am kind of glad Trump is doing this - Canadians need to wake the F UP !
Oh I bet Pierre knows and is going to absolutely bring that to light when elections starting happening
What I've been reading now Lutnick, U.S. is going to head there to fix the mess. Wasn't Carney in charge of the bank of England.
trudeau putting a tariff on the US is not to hurt the US it's another way to hurt Canadians.
Danielle Smith the smartest one out of the bunch
Long live Premier Smith! The smartest and the most beautiful /chic/elegant Lady from Alberta! Thank you !
The smart intelligent is PP he never was close with TRUDEAU 👍
PPFOR PMCANADA 💙 PPC 💙
It will be nice when Canadians have a leader that's a "winner" instead of a "quitter" !
Typical of Trudeau to take credit for another person‘s hard work, and in this case, it was a woman who had the brains.
Danielle Smith is the best Prime minister we never had.
PPFOR PMCANADA 💙 much better 🇨🇦❤️👍👌🏼 work 💙
FOR Alberta yes 💯 precent 🇨🇦❤️
Why are we so worry about the 25% tariff, when the 40% Carbon tax is coming on April 1... we get to choose what to buy if tariff apply, but carbon tax is apply on everything we need.
I agree!
You clearly didn't wear a mask long enough to stop thinking for yourself.
Lol.. stop the lies.. its a character thing.
😂
@ KSAnsley Why don't you get lost with your Stop the Lies BS . You must be high on something?
I'm in Ontario and I'm grateful to Danielle Smith. She has been the best advocate of our Country. I only wish I could vote her in here in Ontario! Ford is a disgraceful man and a terrible leader. Thank you Premier Smith ♥
❤❤❤❤
Saskatchewan n i feel the same 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Sorry we can’t vote for Smith but instead of Ford or Liberals vote for the blue party! Their statement sounds really like conservative more then Ford does! Check it out!
@NancyfromCanada there is nobody running in my area.
Amen 🙏👍
These bums should get back to work. Smith has been doing her job. very well.
Thanks Brian for explaining these terrible situations!
Thank you again Brian. Really appreciate 🙏 your reports .
As an Otarian, I have to say "Bravo to Danielle Smith", Doug Ford is a loser....
Brian Lilley deserves an award for "straight forward" journalism. Hats off to Brian!
Couldn’t agree more
It has nothing to do with Donald Trump 9:33 it has to do with Trudeau‘s personality.
Brian makes sense !
Cut off all expense accounts and pay until parliament is in session . Claw back every penny they spent or didn’t earn while they’re out ..
All for Pierre but good luck having a pipeline going through Quebec and the worst part is Alberta is force to give money for Quebec for support but they don’t want any pipeline passing through their province.
Build it as far as Ontario going to an upgrader , process it there, then sell it to Quebec...
Does POWER CORPORATION run Quebec,, the nuclear electric plant,,is that why they don't want oil/lng ,,, knowing what I do know about lobbies,,, I wouldn't dismiss it
The media is the traitors.
When I want to catch up on international news I always tune in Lethbridge, Alberta.
Why is it so difficult for Canadians to understand that we, as the friends we say we are to the US, are so unwilling to help them stop the deaths from
Fentanyl. Unbelievable. Instead of all the posturing…. We should have been helpful to our biggest trading partner and friends. It’s infuriating.
Our federal government pushes drugs... safe supply!
30 days and counting. No Parliament. Stupid times create stupid results. This country is a wreck.
Said in a Honest Way.
For many parents today watching the tarriffs wars, the drug wars, the illegal immigration wars..... some of us wonder if Canada decides to DE- LEGALIZATION of hard drugs immediately. This
helps to reduce rapid rises in drug addictions among the populations of all ages? Since the legalization of hard drugs was implemented by the Federal Liberals MPs government, Canadians witness the exponential rises in drug addictions in Canada.... is it time to remove the LEGALIZATION of hard drug immediately?
It’s what they want. Why would any gov have a MAID program where if you’re going through a rough time you can use it. You don’t even have to be sick
You are not seeing the kickbacks for the drug addiction services they can then provide. Making bigger problems = more money upwards.
No work no pay
i like that
Retroactive to 9 years ago !
I believe Premier Smith is one of the few Canadians that is convinced that Canada has a Drug Problem (Fentanyl) and the US is concerned about it going South.
Last Oct. when it looked like Trump may win, the Mex. Cartels moved some of their operations to Canada via BC, then across the Country. This is what Trump wanted Canada to clean up, not a Trade War.
Stop lying, it's pathetic
@ 2272 people died of drugs in BC last year.
@@jasonhagemans2511 Really Liberal parasite? How about the fact we busted a super fentanyl lab that could end 95m people?
@@jasonhagemans2511you are naive af
@@jasonhagemans2511Canada does have a serious drug problem and has a reported 4,000 gangs involved in making and distributing lethal illegal drugs .These are the figures given by our own government agencies in committee. It is only logical that as the Americans close the southern border the illegals cartels will.try to enter the USA via a soft Northern border.
Daniel smith is the smartest one of all of them
She kissed his butt and it made zero difference
Trump will do whatever he likes.
I agree fully with her on pipelines and we need to heed her and act right now !
@@bradsmith9189Kissed whose ass? Pull your head out of Trudeau’s ass perhaps..
This is what you get for voting for the fool Trudeau 10 years ago...I never and never will vote for any Liberal or NDP.
Bob Rae is an NDP first and foremost, when that fell through he switched to the Liberals for a cushy appointment as Canadian Ambassador to the UN. A nice gig if you can swing it!
Joly went to Washington and spoke to Democrats and one Republican who is openly critical of Trump. That's who is representing Canada ...Shaking my head
So embarrassing
Screw it, I am moving to the states. The leadership here are losers
@@Fefe559US is becoming a mess. Trump is unfortunately just as toxic as Trudeau and right now they rather act like children than like leaders of our country.
Ottawa Barbie goes to Washington. 😂😂😂
Bob Rae as our ambassador? Good grief.
Brian Lilley, we appreciate you! Truth, facts, to the point! No sugar added. ❤️🙏
There you be! Common Sense Conservatives, making all the right calls!
Doesn't Trudeau already have tariffs on Canadians? How much does a dozen eggs cost in America? How much does milk cost in the States?
Smith is the best person for Ab. We need more people like Danielle
time to come together with the US
Britain said throw carney out ,hes ruined thier country financially
I have doubts about Canada fixing the problems. All talk no results. F around for 30 days and find out
Exactly
I have lost all respect for Scott Moe. Why isnt he standing beside Smith? Alberta & Sask should be one voice.
Agreed, i live in Saskatchewan , Scott, you'd do well to follow Daniels lead, Saskers love her methods.
Canadians do yourself a favor, totally reject carbon tax Carney and the liberals. Canada cannot afford another Trudeau type government. Let common sense prevail.
Thank you for clear explanation & honest evaluation!
Scrap the Carney/Trudeau 2.0!!
Yah JT is claiming the Hero now that we have a month of Reprieve in the Tariff war with US but the reality is that PremierDanielle Smith is the one who did the brasstracks. Salute! Hats off to Premier Danielle Smith! K
Thank you
Government needs to be open so they get back to work They should not be paid if not working. Joli went to see Trump why not Trudeau doing this, I don't believe Trudeau or maybe Trump was not happy on non action. Love Danielle. Tired of being held hostage. We want an election now to have who we want negotiating.
Who the hell would want to talk to that dumb girl ? God second hand EMBARRASSMENT
That czar, will it be another buddy? Trudeau always picks his friends.
I know manitoba is usually forgotten. But we do sell 16% of our electricity to the
USA
BC sends our share as well. I don’t know how much electricity we send from here to the US but it is a lot.
How many new border inspectors did we hire today ?
A diverse and inclusive amount..
Any one how votes for Carney is in for a shock he is 10 times worse than trudo.
I said decades ago, that Canada needs to start dealing with other countries.
If Trump doesn't want our oil, leave him to it! We need oil refineries in Canada.
We need pipelines for oil and LNG to the coasts. Ya a few more refineries/upgraders would be nice but they aren't the critical choke point in the oil and gas energy sector
@@rolnthunder6737blame the govt for pacifying the indigenous groups and tree higgers
1 Refineries take at least 10 years to build.
2 Canada already refines more than enough for ourselves.
😐
Brian always seem to have his finger on the pulse of whats going on in Ottawa. He should make himself available as an advisor to whichever politician has an effective ear.
So entertaining to watch the Canadian Keystone Cops running the country. A
Lower taxes and regs are a threat to Canada? That's a sad situation. Painful as it is going to be, this is the best opportunity Canada has had in a century.
Really enjoy your podcasts. Brian Lilley is a legend. CTV Power Play should replace a few of their permanent fixture so called experts to comment on our politics with the expertise and intelligence of Brian likes. It would be a better Canada to hear what’s really going on our HILL.
Joly is not helpful
She is one very dumb woman
Great video
We never should have voted for "Free Trade" when Mulroney and Reagan sold us out.
Carney is a FIRM NO NO NO NO NO, from Canadians.
Mark Carney is so rich. He is immune to the carbon tax. He only understands to reduce emissions by taxing things. He should invest in hydrogen gas vehicles. They work well in cold weather. They are cheaper. All he needs to do is establish some hydrogen making plants across the country. Next put hydrogen gas storage tanks on many gas stations across the country. Lastly "invite" auto manufacturers like VW or Toyota to build manufacturing plants in Canada.
This way emissions would be reduced across Canada and provided more jobs for Canadians. More jobs means more tax money for the government.
Carney is too stupid to implement a plan like this. He only understands taxes.
TruDope MUST GO !
Very informative Brain thanks .
So Canadian provinces can't do businesses with other Candian provinces or do I have that wrong?
Yes, correct
Yes, one truck can't bring material into another Province unless they have the approved fire-extinguisher in the truck. No other extinguisher will do!
You HAVE THAT RIGHT!! Cuz this country is a JOKE - everyone watches CBC & has no IDEA what a creep we have running this country into the ground
Marketing boards and farm produce is famous for having interprovincial barriers. The Canadian Wheat Board effectively barred western wheat from 80% of the domestic market for 60 years. Dairy is a huge cash cow for Quebec. They have 38% of the dairy quota while having only 22% of the population and 5% of the farm land. Eggs are another highly regulated commodity.
I think this was a bluff to get auto makers to thing twice about more investments in Canada and Mexico.
We need oil refineries in Canada. We need to diversify our sales to other countries.
Like a child who lives under their parent's rules, it is time to move out and quit depending on the U.S.. There is a large world out there.
Pipe lines to the coasts is what's critical. A couple more upgraders and refineries would be nice and add some more redundancy and flexibility to the industry but we don't need much more refinery capacity in Canada.
But even if we did, we would still be bottlenecked by the lack of pipelines to move refined products to markets.
@rolnthunder6737 do you post this on everything?
They want access to our dairy and egg business. That has the Quebec vote attached to it
Trudeau never follows through
She s the brightest around. #mart lady
Everything from cars to pins are made of steel Carney.
Willfull blindness look into it
Sam Cooper. The Bureau.
Willful Blundness
Great book! Everyone should read it.
Bob Rae further shamed Canada on Fox News. It was a terrible interview for Canada
4:20 so he’s gonna deploy Canada revenue agency? Because I don’t think the military can handle that amount of people being deployed to the border. I’m not trying to be funny. I’m actually being serious.
Poilievre is the other wing of the same bird.
P.P.C.🇨🇦🇨🇦 for the balance of power in a minority government.
Did you notice when Ford insulted Premier Smith? Did you hear him say about her, “We are bringing her along”? Making her sound as though she needed “controlling.”
Ford the Fool.
I’m so glad the very unhealthy and sick looking Nenshi isn’t premier. He would have been a complete emotional mess trying to handle this situation.
Shows how out of touch Carney is .
Hope we re using the 30 days to find new clients
Smith for governor of Canada!!!!
Wrapping exciting presents up that has been in place already.
Trudeau has no idea how to talk about anything regarding the average Canadian.
Canadian. Ever since the casinos were allowed to set up on native american territory.
Rather Liberals might be disappointed at the news of tariffs being pushed to a later date esp Mark Carney
The best beef and pork from Manitoba is exceptionally healthy.
❤❤❤
I favour peace river beef.
I wonder how the 10,000 Canadian border guards will spend time guarding "nowhere and nothing".
Bureaucracy at its best. I’ve spent my whole life trying to earn a living. Everyday I wake up and have less. Politicians ….whatever.
To be quite honest, and I don’t really wanna be part of the USA, but the best path forward for Canada is an economic union with the USA. There’s no negative to it. It increases our dollar value and it opens up our economy. I don’t wanna be the 51st date, but I am certainly open to an economic union. 7:17
Me too !!! Canada has become a loser because of horrible leadership
Agreed
And who is going to tell the indigenous people.... Oops, we gave away your land.... to a new macdaddy....
Anyone?
Carney is Trudeau 2. Not in touch with reality’
If Premiers insist on protecting their turf at the expense of the greater well being of the country and its citizens, then we will continue to be less than the sum of our parts. Where there is a will, there is a way - no will = no way.
Mark Kearney is not the current leader in the race and yes, I spelt that incorrectly on purpose. It’s Ruby. More than half of the current members of the liberal party not the leader ship but the party want her.
Did Kahlistan get a vote?
As a Canadian I am perplexed and questioning the value of the deal struck between the US and Canada, because Trudeau shut down our Parliament by proroguing it, then he resigned shortly after from his position as Prime Minister. Trudeau no longer has the authority to conclude treaties or carry out negotiations on behalf of Canada, which for the present has no Federal Gov't. Only the Provincial Governments can now negotiate for arrangements with the USA.
Trudeau never resigned ,only intends to resign after leadership race. That’s why the news media are pushing for a carney win. Carney is not a politician,he has never had a seat in the commons,dosent even have a riding. How can this crap happen.
Shows how dumb and lame Canadians are allowing this to happen and focusing anger to Trump rather than the lame duck PM that resigned but due to lack of liberal leader he is still the so called PM - I blame Canadians for all that is happening coz as a country the citizens are idiots and passive!
Im going ahead with all plans to build factories across Canada. I will build in all alternative model's with uncertainty continuing into the future. All business can pivot hopefully to meet the current climate. What's the alternative?
The consumer will always pay one way or another.
Remember when BOB RAY, was premier of Ontario? 😮
I hate the term Czar. How about calling them Sheriff or Marshal.
EBY for border Czar!🤡😂
🤣🤣
He is a nothing. That’s Eby ,useless .
@FernComeau-y9n I was being facetious.🙂
@@CRBCoaching 😄😅😂🤣
Yup, aren't we compliant.
We need to learn to trust ourselves.
Do not trust Trump or America.
We are a different team and we need to look at our own interests.
We have a border for a reason.
Play stupid games,win stupid prizes!!!!!!
From what I understand if these tariffs take place there will be a massive business exodus from Canada. Years ago a friend of mine moved his large bakery to the US because of Canadian regulations made it too expensive to build a new bakery. We don’t make it easy for businesses here and the tariffs may be the last straw for the hangers on.
