Donald Trump is now so unpopular in Canada that the right-wing party that were big supporters

of Donald Trump and MAGA, they were the Maple MAGA, are now pretending that Donald Trump

wants them to lose in the upcoming election because if Donald Trump wants them to lose

reverse psychology, maybe they can claim that they're the party Donald Trump hates the most. So stupid.
The Canadian people are smarter than that. They don't have the MAGA mush brain that we see here in the United States.
This is the plan of Pierre Poliev, the leader of the Maple MAGA conservative party at the federal level. So Donald Trump went on Laura Ingraham in the past few days.
And Donald Trump, it was clearly a scripted moment. His team probably worked it out with the Canadian Conservative Party.
And Donald Trump's like, I prefer to work with the Liberal Party. I want to work with Mark Carney.
And then immediately, Pierre Poliev, the conservative party leader who will be running against Carney, Carney's the current prime minister, goes, you see, you see, Trump likes the liberal party and he hates us. Therefore, vote for us.
No, Pierre Polyev, we got the receipts. We know you're Maple Maga.
We know this Putin-esque plan you contrive because once upon a time, the conservative party was supposed to win the upcoming federal elections. And now the liberal party is surging ahead.
And it looks like Prime Minister Carney and the liberal party could pull off a big upset and win the upcoming election and be able to form a government against all of the odds from what things were like months ago because Carney is standing up to Trump, because the Liberal Party in Canada stands up to Donald Trump, unlike the Maple MAGA Conservative Party. Here's what Pierre Poliev actually posted yesterday, and this was clearly boosted by Elon Musk.
Then I'm going to show you all of the receipts. And I've got a bunch of receipts showing how Maple Maga Pierre Poliev is, showing Donald Trump's support of Pierre Poliev and the Conservative Party, showing Pierre Poliev going all these right wing podcasts and Elon Musk boosting Pierre Poliev and the Conservative Party.
I can hardly wait to show it to you, as you can probably tell. Anyway, here's what Paulie have posted.
He goes, last night, President Donald Trump endorsed Mark Carney, the current prime minister, the Liberal Party leader. Why? Because as Trump said, he's easier to deal with and knows that I will be a tough negotiator and will always put Canada first.
Carney is weak and would cave to Trump's demands, just like he did when he moved his company headquarters from Canada to New York. Canadians don't want a weak and conflicted leader.
They want a strong prime minister who will put Canada first. Dude, you're literally Maple MAGA.
I think some of your campaign advisors would walk around in their MAGA hats and like promote MAGA merchandise. Oh, we've got the receipts.
But let me show this to you first. This was about what, three or four months ago, where Donald Trump said that he would look forward to working with Pierre Poliev because their views were more aligned.
Here, this is Donald Trump saying it. Let's play it.
The G7 is not exactly strong. I think Trudeau might resign today.
Are you looking forward to working with Pierre Polivier, the new guy? I am. If that's what happens, certainly it would be very good.
Our views would be more aligned, certainly. Now, as this one account says, are Trump and Pierre Polivier the same, same page, same playbook, same outcome, as Guy Felicella points out.
He goes, red flag Canada, don't make the same mistake as the United States. Hashtag Team Canada, hashtag Elbows Up Canada.
Here, just watch this video clip right here and you'll see exact same playbook, exact same rhetoric. I'll show it to you.
Let's play it. Fake news.
Fake news. The left-wing censorship regime.
Their woke censorship ideology. Have turned our once great cities into cesspools of bloodshed and crime.
Has unleashed a crime wave like we have never seen. We have to stop with political correctness.
Woke political correctness. Defeating the radical left.
Radical leftist authoritarian agenda. We want those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way.
I'm proud of the truckers and I stand with them. Your organization is terrible.
You are attacking our news organization. Your organization is terrible.
Can you give us a chance to act? We have basically a liberal heckler who snuck in here. Wow, right.
Mic drop. Then, by the way, you had the playbook being executed before Donald Trump talked about annexing Canada, before Donald Trump started talking about the 51st state rhetoric.
Maple MAGA, Pierre Polyev were following the playbook of the Trump MAGA movement. They go on the right-wing podcasters.
Here, Pierre Poliev goes on the Jordan Peterson podcast. Jordan Peterson, far right-wing kind of conspiracy theorist, and it kind of is.
He goes, Canada's next prime minister, Elon Musk, boosts it, puts his finger on the scale in the Canadian election. I guess Canada, if you want Doge Canada, Pierre Poliev is your guy.
Elon Musk doing the exact same shtick. And by the way, in this interview as well with Jordan Peterson, Pierre Poliev talks about healthcare should not be a right, wokeism this, wokeism that.
And Elon Musk boosted the crap out of this right-wing Jordan Peterson interview. Why? Elon Musk wants his tentacles.
He wants his doge dirty paws into Canada. He wants to destroy Canada.
Musk and Peterson and Pierre Poliev, they want to do the horrors and atrocities you're seeing here. That's what they wanted to bring to Canada.
I mean, just look at it. Same rhetoric.
Here Poliev is on Jordan Peterson and they're like, oh, we've got to stop the wokeness, all the woke and the woke in Toronto and the woke this. I'm only going to play you 19 seconds of it because that's about as much as I can tolerate.
But as you go go throughout the interview they talk about gutting health care they say they talk about gutting dental and gutting services and how uh you know that that these things shouldn't be kind of you know rights but i'll just show you 19 seconds it's all i can tolerate so i'll just play this for you play it and by the way put aside race this obsession with race that wokeism has reinserted. Well, invented even.
Invented in many ways. When I moved to Toronto, it was as race blind as any country, as any city could be.
Right. Right.
And that's flip. On the other hand, you have the Liberal Party leader, the current prime minister, Mark Carney.
And here's what he goes. He goes, who's the worst person to stand up to Donald Trump? Pierre Poliev who worships at the altar of Donald Trump.
Let's play it. We have to recognize that the Donald Trump of today is different than the Donald Trump of several years ago.
Then his objective was to take more of our market. Now he wants to take our country.
Let me finish by pointing out one other thing. Who's the worst person to stand up to Donald Trump? It's Pierre Polyev.
He worships the man. He uses his language.
It's not the right person for our country at this crucial time. And here you got Mark Carney absolutely cooking Pierre Polyev and his Maple MAGA act.
Watch this. Job's ever had.
He got his being a politician. He was a political staffer.
He got elected to the House of Commons very early on his low 20s. Said he was only going to serve two terms.
He's end up serving. I think he's probably into his fifth.
He's got the biggest pension, publicly paid pension of anyone.

And he's that lifelong politician that you can only believe so much in the free market if you're a tenured professor at Chicago or you're a lifelong politician. And he just sort of worships in that world.
He defaults to the same solutions all the time. He's also, I honestly believe he disdains much about the country, much of what I just described, which to me, and I think to Canadians is the nature of the country.
He disdains. So he's been on this mantra for the last several years, Canada's broken, Canada's broken, and Canada's broken because we're stupid.
Canada's broken because

we're stupid. And he finds an echo chamber with Jordan Peterson and other people who he sits down and talks with.
So there's a disdain for the country that he envisions. It's pretty awkward for him now that the country's coming together and Canadian pride and we're under attack by the very people that he's been cozying up to.

So literally as we speak, he's trying to find a Canadian flag to wrap himself in and play Patriot. Last refuge of a scoundrel.
As I'm sure you're aware from the morning to the evening, I'm recording video after video, hosting podcast after podcast and having all of that coffee that you probably see me drink

was causing me those coffee jitters,

and I needed a change in my routine.

So that's why I started trying mud water.

It's refreshing.

It's incredible.

And it was just the right touch as we head into spring.

It's right around the corner spring,

as I refreshed my routine, shake off those winter blues.

And here's an easy change you can make.

Okay. So I wanted to share that with you first so you have the background.
Here's when Donald Trump went on Laura Ingraham. Here's what he said.
And again, obviously, in my opinion, in coordination with Pierre Poliev's team, you know, I'm sure Pierre Poliev's team was like, just go on and say like you hate me. Say you don't like the Conservative Party.
Say you want to work with the Liberal Party because you're so hated in Canada that then the Canadians, they'll be like, okay, so I guess we got to vote Poliev because Trump likes the Liberals now. So we want to like whoever Donald Trump, it's the silliest logic, it's illogic, but here, play this clip.
Isn't that going to make them more hostile to us and possibly open the door for China, closer to Canada? And that would really put us in a bind. The conservative that's running is stupidly no friend of mine.
I don't know him, but he said negative things. So when he says negative things, I couldn't care less.
I think it's easier to deal actually with a liberal. Okay.
I'm pretty confident Canadians see through that shtick. And I think it makes it look extra desperate by Pierre Poliev.
I think this Trump-Poliev stunt is going to backfire in their faces as Trump claims that he's supporting the Liberal Party. Okay.
We know that's not the case. I really like this from Prime Minister Carney.
So when he came back from his meeting in Europe, first he met with French President Emmanuel Macron. Then he went to UK Prime Minister Pierre Starmer, high-level meetings.
And one of the messages that he came out with is he goes, look, you know, like Maple Maga boy, Doge boy, Pierre Poliev, he couldn't do this trip. Like he would not be treated with respect in Europe.
By the way, does he even have a security clearance? Like, I don't think the guy doesn't, he doesn't even have a security clearance. He's too busy doing what? And by the way, sound familiar here? There's so many of these MAGA types in government who don't have the security clearance.
Here, play this clip. It's Globe and Mail.
We understand that you have now placed your assets in a blind trust. So you don't know what's happening to them going forward.
But you knew what they were going into that blind trust. So what are they? Look, Stephanie, I follow the rules of the Ethics Commissioner.
I'm following them well in advance of any of the requirements. As you know, because I know you know this, you know that these requirements come into effect in months.
We're talking days after I became Prime Minister. So I'm complying with the rules of the ethics commissioner, going through the processes and all the things that are necessary.
And I will remind you and I'll remind Canadians again that the leader of the opposition cannot find it. And look, you look at the questions this evening.
You look at the nature of the discussions. Look at the nature of discussions I had with the president of France, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
The leader of the opposition would not be capable of having those discussions because the leader of opposition refuses to get his security clearance, something that it took me a few weeks to get. And he has been the leader of the opposition for three years.
So I comply with my responsibilities. I comply with the rules well in advance.
And the leader of the opposition doesn't take his responsibilities at a time of, well, you should take these responsibilities at any time. But it's particularly remarkable given the stakes in global geopolitics at the moment.
A powerful moment after Pierre, after Prime Minister Carney was sworn in. Here he is talking about responding to Trump's 51st state claim.
Let's play it. We will never, ever in any way, shape or form be part of the United States.
America is not Canada. Look at the ceremony we just have.
You could not have had that ceremony.

You would not have that ceremony in America.

Look at the cabinet behind me.

You would not have that cabinet in America. You do not have that cabinet in America.
We are a very fundamentally different country. The president is a successful business person and a deal maker..
We're his largest client in so many industries. As the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Industry, Monsieur LeBlanc and Monsieur Champagne have made this point.
Clients expect respect and working together in a proper commercial way. Are you not going to speak with President Trump until he cuts out this 51st state talk? I look forward to speaking with President Trump, just to be clear.
We respect the United States. We respect President Trump.
President Trump has put some very important issues at the top of his agenda. We understand his agenda.
And just so you see here, as Mark Gerritsen points out, while Pierre Poliev tries to rebrand his messaging and claim he's not Maple MAGA, look at his own campaign manager wearing the MAGA hat. And then Pierre Poliev was asked, if you've told people in your caucus to stop wearing the MAGA hat.
And then Pierre Poliev was asked if you've told people in your caucus to stop wearing the MAGA hat. And he can't even say that he told them to stop wearing the MAGA.
I mean, these are Maple Bag of MAGA hat people. The Poliev crew, the Doge crew, the Elon Musk crew, the Jordan Peterson crew.
Here, play this clip. What instructions have you given your caucus members and your candidates about wearing MAGA merchandise or using MAGA slogans? Well, my instruction is that we should put Canada first.
We want to put our country first, stand up for our country against both American aggression, but also against the destructive liberal policies that

have made us helpless and reliant on the US. I've also made it clear to my members of parliament

that we should favor bringing jobs back to Canada, not move them to the United States of America,

as Mark Carney did when he had the chance. Here's the graphic that we made at Midas Touch.
So say like you hate my guts or something. That's how we envisioned Pierre Poliev saying to Donald Trump, just say you hate me, man, because I'm now losing the election.
Everyone thought that we were going to win. And now because of you and they know we're Maple MAGA and people hate MAGA now, you're going to make me lose, Donald.
So say something different.

Anyway, I'll leave you with this clip from Mark Carney

that he gave when he was announced as the leader

of the Liberal Party about two weeks ago.

Let's play it.

America is not Canada.

And Canada never, ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. Look.
We didn't ask for this fight. We didn't ask for this fight.
But Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. So the Americans, they should make no mistake, in trade as in hockey, Canada will win.
Powerful stuff there. Also, we've been reporting throughout the day as well, and I'm sure you've seen Canadian Airlines, Canada Airlines is canceling flights to the US.
A lot of its routes, they just don't have people showing up. Canadians are not flying to the United States anymore.
I predicted that the tourism boycott would be closer to 100%. I'm seeing some stats that say leisure travel to the US by Canadians is down about 85% in some areas.
That's more in line with what I thought it was going to be. I mean, number one, I understand ideologically the boycott.
But number two, if you're traveling here, who knows if you show up and then all of a sudden, you know, you're sent to El Salvador concentration camps without due process because Trump claims you're a gang member or they put you in an ICE detention center, right? I mean, we've seen examples of Canadians who have flown here and they've ended up in ICE detention centers without due process.

It's actually an authoritarian regime here right now. And so there's that and the ideological reasons, ideological, common sense reasons.
Trump's basically, not basically, he's declared war on Canada. He wants to annex it, steal the land.
Anyway, we see through Donald Trump and Pierre Poliev's plan I know you do too we love our

Canadian support such a big fan of the
