Canada elections, globalist control continues

All right, Alexander, let's talk about the elections in Canada and the fact that the Liberal Party won again in those elections. Not a decisive, a big victory, but they did win. The Conservative Party failed to get their message across, and they were maybe three months ago, four months ago. to be the party that would be governing Canada. That fell apart. A lot of people are putting the blame on Trump and the tariffs and Trump's messaging about Canada being the 51st state. Trudeau stepping down.

Carney coming in. Someone who has pretty much the same exact policies as Trudeau, maybe even worse, policies than Trudeau. But, of course, the packaging was done. difference and the liberals put out a message of national unity and patriotism and fighting Trump. That was the message. We're going to fight Trump. The conservatives for various reasons were not able to put out that message or we're not able to put out as clear a message to Canada with regards to Trump.

Maybe they were afraid to take on Trump. I don't know. But your thoughts on the elections in Canada and what this means for. for Canada. Well, I get to say straight away, I think Trump's, you know, the myth of Trump played a huge role in the election. But saying that highlights again the failure of the conservatives, because, I mean, they should have demolished that if they'd run an effective campaign, which as far as I can see, they didn't. Now, I'm looking at this from a distance, but here they had a government that has been very unpopular.

The Conservatives themselves were 25 points ahead in the opinion polls as recently as February. The Liberals had stuck with Trudeau for years, and Trudeau himself was massively damaged and discredited goods by the end. And the condition of the Canadian economy is not good. and a lot of people in Canada are facing considerable economic hardship. Now, a dynamic, forceful, well-organised, conservative campaign, something like the one that, say, Margaret Thatcher conducted Britain in 1979, in an election I can very well remember. That might have won over people, despite all of this.

And they could have come out and said, look, Donald Trump is really not the issue. We're not here to talk about Trump. We're here to talk about Canada and conditions in Canada. And of course, we're patriots and we will stand for Canada and we will stand in every way we can. But because the Americans have elected a president that maybe we don't like, that's not a reason to stick with the government. that is completely discredited and which is entirely failed. And if the conservatives have done that much more forcefully,

far more effectively and done than they did, or so it seems to me, and presented a really interesting, ambitious, dynamic program and done so with conviction, I can't help but think that they would still have won. It's important to say that they still managed to increase their vote show, they prevented the liberals getting a majority. When that sort of thing happens, to me, that looks like an election

which the opposition ought to have won. It's because they themselves bungled their own campaign. And I have to come back to what I basically feel about this. I think the fundamental problem in Canada with liberals and conservatives, is pretty much the same as the one we're getting in Britain now. And remember, Mark Carney, who's now the Prime Minister of Canada, is very much somebody who we know very well in Britain. The problem is that the conservatives were not a real opposition to the liberals.

They're just different wings of the same political class. So it was not compelling enough or interesting enough to people for to vote for because it didn't really offer or appear to offer the promise of a real change that might in the end make things better. So some people, enough people, stuck, chose to stick with the devil they knew rather than experiment with the devil they didn't. So I think that was probably the story of this election. And I think it's the tragedy of Canada, because I don't get the sense that there's anybody in Canada in the political system that really has the ideas and the energy and the vision

to turn things forward, to make a real break with the past, to try and look at the underlying problems of Canada, to convey a sense to the Canadian people that that person is really interested and fully engaged in their concerns. I mean, I won't pretend that I followed Walev, the conservative leader, extremely closely. But what I saw of him, I have to say, didn't hugely impress me.

And I suspect that was the real problem. So I think what we've ended up with is in some ways the worst election results of all in which we have a stagnant government, a stagnant and discredited government, facing a stagnant opposition. Yeah, he's a good speaker, but you can see that he's timid and was afraid to take on Trump. Exactly, yeah.

I mean, you could see it. He didn't have that boldness, that courage to take on Trump. In a way that Mark Carney did. Yeah, it's easy for him. Yeah, you know, Mark Carney has a back of him. You know, the whole globalist architecture, all of that.

is supporting Cardi. So he felt more confident, I believe, to go up against Trump, or at least to say that he's going to go up against Trump because we'll see what happens when Trump meets with party. It should never have been framed as an election about Donald Trump in the first place. It should have been framed as an election about Canada. Yeah, but the liberals framed it as such.

Sorry? The liberals framed it as. The liberals framed as such. But, you know, Pueleev, if he'd been much more capable, We said, absolutely, I'm going to stand up to Trump. I'm going to fight for Canada every inch of the way. Stop talking about Trump. This isn't the issue.

We're as patriotic as you are pretending or making claims and insinuating that we are not, that we are somehow here to carry out Trump's bidding is totally dishonest and completely wrong and shows how bankrupt in ideas and policies you actually are. are. I'm here to talk about Canada. I'm here to talk about the people of Ontario, of Alberta, of Quebec, of all of those places. And what are you talking about all the time? You're talking about Donald Trump. You know, that kind of, that kind of approach, I think, would have worked, but of course, they didn't do it. So, you know, it's, it's, it's unsurprising that we got, that we got this result. We got, as I says, we've now got a week discredited.

government with an absolutely, a prime minister that you characterized absolutely correctly, as Trudeau too, without perhaps some of the more, shall we say, difficult personality traits. I've been very careful in my use of us. He doesn't have the packaging of Trudeau. He doesn't have, he doesn't have the kind of, I can't understand how any body he could find true, they're charismatic, but I suppose he did have a kind of charisma. kind of, you know, image, if you like, which some people were attracted to. Carney doesn't have that. Instead, what he's coming with is this image as, you know,

the safe pair of hands, the technocrat, the central banker and all of that kind of thing, which is absolute nonsense. As I said, he was governor of the Bank of England for several years here. The Conservatives appointed him, even though it turned out quite openly. He was absolutely clear about this that he was actually fully aligned with the Labour Party here in Britain. He was an ardent remuner in Britain and made little secret of the fact, which of course the governor of the Bank of England ought not to do. And he pursued monetary policies, which were exactly the kind of monetary policies that you would expect a political figure, a figure like that to carry out. And he was a very political central banker and a rather poor central

banker. He was governor of the Bank of England for a couple of years and the fact remains that at the end of it, inflation was higher and the economic conditions in Britain were worse than they had been when he was appointed. So you can't talk here about a success story by Mark Carney. Not by any stretch. I'm not saying that he is solely responsible for the problems that Britain is in today, but he is certainly partly responsible for them. And as I said, he never pushed at any point against the mainstream, remainer attitudes of the British establishment.

On the concrete, he was always part of it. Yeah, I mean, you know, the fact is that Canada's leader is now, a central banker. Yeah. A globalist central banker. Absolutely, yes. That's who's going to be running Canada now. Yes, yes.

He's a pure globalist. Yeah. Trudeau was. Yeah, he's worse. Yeah, he's worse than Trudeau. Yeah, absolutely. But, you know, you described it well in that when you peel back the

wrapping of Carney, he's worse than Trudeau. He's a central banker, worse than Trudeau. But they framed it as if he's the person who has the steady hands. That should have been the conservative candidate, the conservative. The word says it. Those are the stable hands, the conservative party. That's the stable hands. That's who you want to run the country when you need security, when you need stability.

Not the liberals. It's in the words. Liberals conservative. but there's no difference anymore. There is no difference anymore between the two parties, just like in the UK. There's no difference between the conservatives and labor. There's no difference between the liberals and the conservatives in Canada. But what happened is that the conservatives, they stepped into the frame of the liberals instead of them creating the framing of the elections.

They stepped right into the framing of the liberals. The liberals throughout Carney. The policies are no different than Trudeau. They're probably going to be even worse. And they packaged it as he is the person with the background to deliver stability and strength. Exactly. Which you were not going to get from Trudeau. The sound policy.

Exactly. The adult in the room. Yeah, you don't get that from Trudeau. I mean, you look at Trudeau and you say he's a kid. He's a kid who should be skiing or teaching acting or something like that. You look at Joe, that's what you say, but you look at Carney and you say, okay, well, it's just a person that's going to steady the ship, right? But he's not. But the conservatives messed the whole thing up because they played right into the framing of the liberals.

And yeah, and Trump, he threw out the 51st state, he threw out the tariffs, all of that stuff. But, you know, it could have been handled differently by the opposition. It could have been handled completely differently. As I said, a well-organized, dynamic opposition. would have handled it entirely differently. As I said, framing the election around Donald Trump should not have been a vote winner for the Liberals. It only became a vote winner for the Liberals

because the Conservatives allowed it to become so. Instead of running the election, pointing the election all the time on the Liberals' actual performance in government, they're discredited and massively unpopular former Prime Minister Trudeau. They could have also pointed out the reality of Carney's record as a central banker. You know, UK, in Britain, in Canada as well, and they could have run on that. And, you know, it would have been completely different if they'd, if they'd, if they'd done that. But as you're absolutely rightly say, ultimately they didn't do that because they are not ultimately that different from the party that they're opposing.

By the way, I have to say this, if there's an extraordinary degree of conformity in the UK political system, at least we do have an genuine insurrectionary element here with reform, we're going to be having elections as it happens on the day that we're making this programme, local elections in Britain. Well, we'll see whether it happens, but there's some talk that there could be a breakthrough for reform in Britain. The political class here is not just discredited, but the prime ministers, Starrma's ratings, are apparently the worst that any prime minister has had in polling records. So that tells you. But I mean, we have a genuine, well, maybe an insurrectionary alternative here in Britain that people can vote for. I don't really see that in Canada.

And I have to say this. It looks as if every single part of the political class, all the various parties, to a great extent, work inside the existing consensus. I mean, some of them a bit more to the left, some of them are a bit more to the right. But, I mean, I may be misrepresenting things. And, you know, I'm not obviously from Canada. But I don't get the sense that there is a kind of challenge to the political class. class in Canada that you see in Britain with reform and on, of course, a much bigger scale in Germany with the IFTA.

Well, you have Berne-A, Maxim Barnier and the People's Party, but they haven't got into the level of reform yet, yeah. And we don't know if they will, but they haven't reached that level of reform. I mean, it will happen, no doubt. It didn't happen in this election. It didn't happen in this election. It didn't happen this election. And I think it's still going to take many more.

years for them to get to that level. And that's the problem is that as Canada have those years. I mean, just to wrap up the video, what happens now in Canada? Do you buy into the talk about separation, Alberta, for example? Do you think Canada's just going to follow in the UK's footsteps and just sync to the economic level of the UK. I mean, Canada has a lot of resources, a lot of wealth. It's got a ton of wealth. Yes, I can't believe that, actually. I can't believe, because of all of these resources,

I can't believe that Canada will simply implode in the kind of way that the UK is starting to do. So there is that, there is that, you know, platform that that's that flaw below which i hope i very much hope that canada won't fall but um you know there have been secessionist movements in canada before obviously quebeckebec has had a history of wanting secession and there is still a secessionist body in quebecua is still there there's also of secessionist movements in Alberta. I don't, I'm not able myself from the distance that I have in London to measure their strength.

But, you know, if there is no break in the consensus, then I suppose that people in places like Alberta will start to say, well, enough's enough. We're not getting anywhere by staying within Canada. It's always more of the same. and maybe it's time for us to go. Now, I would hate to see that happen. I should say that. I mean, for me, Canada, as people who watch these programs,

know, has always been a country that I have a particular, you know, maybe idealistic view of. I've never been there. But which I feel strongly about, and which I would like to see hold together and become prosperous and strong again, as I remember that it used to be. So I would not want to see Canada break up,

not in any way. But if I was to say that I think that's impossible, then I wouldn't be telling the truth. All right, we will end the video there. The durand.com. We are on Rumble, odyssey, bitchy, telegram, Rockfinitex. Go to the Durant Shop, pick up some merch
