1:22

the honorable stockwell day thank you so

1:24

much for joining me again today sir good

1:26

to be with you thank you there is um so

1:29

much for us to talk about right now you

1:32

know mr day the last time i had you on

1:34

my television show it was right right

1:37

before the emergencies act was about to

1:39

be invoked uh in the midst of the whole

1:41

truckers convoy uh situation there you

1:44

and i did a video breaking this down or

1:46

did a television show breaking this down

1:48

i think that that show has actually

1:49

gotten the most amount of views of any

1:52

of our shows in 2022

1:54

people just just so appreciated your

1:57

wisdom and how you broke that down and

1:59

just your viewpoint on it so

2:01

fast forward now we're about four or

2:03

five months down the line here uh the

2:05

emergencies act was invoked and now

2:08

there's an inquiry about whether or not

2:10

it should have been

2:12

what are your reflections at this point

2:14

in the timeline mr day

2:16

well great question and first i'd have

2:18

to reflect back and think you were being

2:20

somewhat prophetic at the time

2:23

in looking at the act the emergencies

2:25

act we all said this was a huge

2:27

overreaction it proved out later that it

2:30

was

2:31

but the prime minister and his ministers

2:33

have been saying well the police were

2:35

asking for it and now 11 times

2:38

just in recent days the minister has

2:41

stood up and said that the police asked

2:44

for it and time after time when they

2:46

interview all the various police forces

2:49

and those who are in authority in those

2:51

police forces they are all saying we did

2:54

not request this we did not request this

2:57

and the minister continues to say they

2:59

did so that's a huge problem in and of

3:02

itself

3:03

the other aspect of the emergencies act

3:05

first being a gigantic overreaction we

3:08

now have seen and mainstream media is

3:10

saying this that all of these incidents

3:13

that the that the government was saying

3:15

were happening insurrection and violence

3:17

and places being burned down all were

3:20

proven to be false about the truckers

3:22

and the situation the thing that really

3:24

turned it around and cut the act short

3:27

and caused the prime minister to rush

3:29

out and say we're canceling the act now

3:32

we've had it in place for a few days and

3:34

now we're pulling back is because of the

3:35

reaction they were getting from the

3:37

banks as as bank accounts were being

3:40

frozen unbelievably

3:42

banks were reacting because people were

3:45

either calling their banks frantically

3:48

or in fact beginning to move their money

3:51

out that's what really caused the prime

3:53

minister to react and panic and cancel

3:56

the act

3:57

but right from the start as you had

3:59

predicted it was a massive overreaction

4:03

even countries around the world who were

4:05

watching the truckers convoy

4:08

whatever language they were using the

4:10

word was basically whoa

4:12

this is extreme that's what it proved

4:14

out to be

4:15

yeah absolutely and of course we saw uh

4:18

several uh elected politicians in europe

4:21

actually called the prime minister out

4:22

on this some very embarrassing moments

4:24

on the international stage for him in

4:26

the wake of this but you know you nailed

4:28

it right there uh stock well when the

4:30

emergencies act was invoked it just

4:32

created this massive uncertainty i i

4:35

heard from people saying that they were

4:36

taking their money out of the bank they

4:37

were moving it to international bank

4:39

accounts just for just for security's

4:41

sake because they didn't know

4:43

what the prime minister uh might do next

4:46

right and so

4:47

one question when i was uh traveling

4:49

across canada with our engaged tour here

4:52

uh throughout the month of may we would

4:53

always have open question and answer

4:55

times at the end and a question that

4:57

often came up

4:58

was this question of accountability like

5:00

how how can the government just continue

5:03

to do these things run roughshod over

5:05

this like so here we have the minister

5:07

saying something we have the

5:09

authorities the the law professionals

5:11

saying something else at what point is

5:13

there accountability

5:15

with our government outside of their own

5:17

internal parliamentary self-audits you

5:20

know um how would you respond to that

5:22

question from canadians

5:25

that is a great question and

5:27

accountability in a democracy comes in a

5:30

couple of ways first of all it has to

5:32

come from your elected officials we know

5:35

that in canada now there is an alliance

5:37

between the liberal party and the

5:39

socialist party the ndp

5:41

so they are bound together and

5:43

unfortunately the type of cabinet

5:46

solidarity that is often required by a

5:48

government upon its own ministers has

5:51

now

5:52

flooded over to the actual ndp to the

5:55

members of parliament the ndp they feel

5:58

bound also to not question the

6:00

government which was really the genius

6:02

of

6:03

prime minister trudeau striking this

6:05

alliance

6:06

with the ndp just reminding your viewers

6:08

this is basically a three-year piece

6:10

pact

6:11

where they said look let's work together

6:13

for three years then there'll be an

6:14

election and people can decide but it

6:16

was the prime minister saying let me

6:18

push my stuff through you folks stick

6:20

with me and then the election you know

6:22

give me three years is basically what

6:24

he's saying so as some are calling this

6:26

uh many socialists that i know ndp

6:28

members who i'm friends with uh

6:31

see this as a an unholy alliance that

6:34

has really reduced the amount of

6:36

accountability that you're going to see

6:38

that should come from parliament itself

6:40

certainly the conservative mps and to

6:43

degree the block mps are trying to hold

6:45

the government to account but this

6:46

majority pack now in the house

6:49

really restricts the ability for an

6:52

ongoing focus on government actions and

6:54

then the other area of course in a

6:56

democracy is the media itself it is now

6:58

seen that what we call the legacy media

7:02

they have a high degree of conformity

7:04

and compliance among themselves so they

7:07

will report things that happen let's say

7:10

that we would see as not great but they

7:13

don't pursue them it's one thing to

7:14

report something and then move on

7:17

but when a media

7:19

pursues you know with energy and and

7:22

sometimes with vengeance and you know

7:24

how it classically goes the first day so

7:27

to be a report something will happen the

7:28

media report it but then if they really

7:30

want to hold the government account then

7:32

they pursue it the second date they go

7:34

and they interview more people and they

7:35

think what do you think about what the

7:37

uh prime minister says about this and

7:38

then the story line on the second day

7:40

will be anger continues or people

7:43

concerned continue and then they'll do

7:45

it a third day they'll say and it'll be

7:48

the headlines will be the rage continues

7:50

concerns about the prime minister

7:51

continues it's all media generated

7:54

mainstream media are not generating the

7:57

ongoing daily concerns that we're

7:59

hearing from the street from people so

8:01

those two areas parliament itself

8:03

because of this unholy alliance and the

8:05

ndp caving in those mps not holding

8:08

daily the government to account and the

8:10

legacy media themselves for whatever

8:12

reason reporting but not really pursuing

8:16

these considerable flaws and uh wrong

8:19

approaches being taken by the federal

8:20

government

8:22

so that you know that's pretty dismal

8:25

these two well

8:26

it's a dismal from the point of view of

8:28

democracy it is a dismal uh it's a

8:30

dismal aspect for sure okay

8:32

you know to the average canadian that's

8:34

watching this right now asking that

8:35

question about accountability what is

8:37

your word to them right now stockwell is

8:39

it just keep the the citizen engagement

8:41

pressure on where where is the avenue of

8:44

hope in terms of keeping our leaders

8:45

accountable

8:47

well again you keep coming back to the

8:49

root of the issue which is the right

8:50

route and that is the people themselves

8:52

in a democracy it is the people who are

8:55

actually in authority so to your viewers

8:57

who are people of faith if they're

8:59

praying for those in authority they

9:01

should be praying for themselves also

9:04

saying what should i be doing as an

9:07

individual citizen and what i post on my

9:10

twitter feed is please call your mps i

9:13

now other people are calling for that

9:15

too but the importance never

9:17

underestimate the importance of you as

9:20

an individual citizen calling or

9:21

emailing your mp directly asking the

9:24

question and asking for a response back

9:27

and so people need to continue it i

9:30

believe it's been working people have

9:31

been but what happens is when you send a

9:34

message of concern to your mp

9:37

when these when government parties this

9:39

would include all parties have their

9:41

weekly caucus meetings one of the

9:43

questions that gets asked is

9:46

is anybody hearing about

9:48

x whatever the issue might be so when

9:50

the prime minister in those caucus

9:52

meetings is saying is anybody hearing

9:55

anything about these mandates if a

9:57

number of mps are speaking up and saying

9:59

yeah i'm hearing stuff from my

10:01

constituent that's what will ring the

10:03

alarm bells but if they're not hearing

10:05

that if people are not calling their mps

10:07

then when that question gets raised in

10:09

caucus it's it's just a shrug uh people

10:12

say no and people aren't really

10:13

concerned about it now um the liberal

10:16

caucus though there's been a lot of rise

10:18

in the liberal caucus several mainstream

10:20

media outlets now reporting

10:22

that uh there is great discontent that

10:24

the majority of liberal members of

10:27

parliament want the mandates the federal

10:29

mandates to end

10:31

uh how do you how do you view that

10:33

what's your take on it it's the one

10:35

flicker of hope that democracy in canada

10:37

might not be as smothered as we think

10:40

when i see these stories i know and i'm

10:42

quite a few of these liberal mps you

10:44

know they're solid people we might not

10:47

agree on every policy but most of them

10:49

are there because they recognize the

10:51

voters put them there and they are

10:53

raising these things so for people

10:54

who've been sending calls and emails to

10:57

your mp it is working please keep doing

11:00

it don't stop now i got asked one more

11:03

thing on this before we shift to the

11:04

conservative leadership race

11:07

why do you think the prime minister is

11:09

resisting the calls of of so many

11:12

canadians whether it was the westjet ceo

11:14

whether it's his own liberal caucus

11:17

you know people are asking that question

11:19

too mr day is is there something else

11:21

here what is your honest gut on that

11:24

i i believe he's just so angry

11:26

that millions of canadians will refuse

11:29

to get triple backs i think he's so

11:31

furious and by the way when the federal

11:32

government puts out the numbers of

11:34

vaccinated canadians that is largely

11:37

every time they report that that is the

11:39

number of canadians who got the first

11:41

vax

11:42

the numbers who have taken the up to

11:45

three or more of axes has dropped

11:47

drastically and this is not an anti-vaxx

11:50

statement it's just when they see so

11:52

many people continuing to get coveted

11:54

and now as the numbers come in and this

11:56

is scientifically mathematically

11:58

accurate most people

12:00

that are contracting covet in fact are

12:03

those who are fully vast so i'm not

12:06

going to get into the argument or

12:07

discussion on the whys of that but that

12:09

is the fact the increase for instance

12:11

now and people can google this some

12:13

people call it the

12:14

sudden adult death syndrome sads they're

12:18

looking at the increase now and

12:20

reporting of vaccine related injuries

12:23

you know all we're asking is that there

12:25

be open and honest reporting and there

12:27

hasn't been all we're asking is that

12:29

there'd be open and honest debate so we

12:32

really can preserve the health of our

12:34

our citizens moving forward

12:37

we love canada and we want to see it

12:39

13:16

so let's move into the future we know

13:19

the history of politics in canada is

13:21

that canadians tend to go liberal for a

13:23

little while then swing back to

13:24

conservative looks like we're probably

13:26

going to have a general election at the

13:28

federal level in 2025-ish unless this

13:31

coalition breaks up in the conservative

13:33

party of canada

13:34

right now is choosing their future

13:36

leader who could be the next prime

13:38

minister so a lot of the characters on

13:41

the slate there's six of them you have

13:43

personal history with so for our viewers

13:45

right now who are getting ready to cast

13:47

that vote uh for the next leader of the

13:49

conservative party possibly the next

13:50

prime minister um one minute overview of

13:53

each of the candidates um stockwell who

13:56

are they who's who in this zoo

13:58

all of them

13:59

bring some unique attributes to the

14:02

table so i'm i'm really pleased with

14:03

that so if you want to start with uh

14:05

pierre pauliev uh pierre actually used

14:07

to work for me i was the guy who brought

14:09

him to ottawa when he was a young fired

14:12

up

14:13

recently graduated student and he went

14:15

on to become a very successful mp he's

14:18

got the attention of a lot of people he

14:20

is seen to be the front runner right now

14:23

his his grasp of the economic realities

14:26

why inflation is really happening and

14:28

what needs to be done to curb government

14:31

spending but still keep important

14:33

programs in place you know those are all

14:35

uh that that would be a forte for him

14:37

john

14:38

i've known for years worked uh in and

14:41

and and through him and around him at

14:43

different times uh going way back to

14:45

when he was a premier and uh in in terms

14:49

of negotiations in and out of of quebec

14:51

i like jean cheray i think he's a great

14:53

guy and he brings a real perspective

14:55

he's had some good international

14:56

experience so he brings that

14:58

to the table patrick brown i've also

15:01

worked with as a member of parliament

15:03

and known him for years

15:05

so he brings experience he's a mayor

15:08

he brings mayoralty experience he brings

15:10

mp experience now each one of these

15:12

individuals i don't necessarily agree

15:14

with all their policies but each one

15:16

does bring certain strengths to the

15:18

table

15:19

and then of course leslie lewis who i'm

15:22

supporting i supported last time and uh

15:25

reminding people and actually there was

15:27

just a pollster uh recently talking nick

15:30

nanos was talking about the fact

15:32

that uh don't do not make the mistake of

15:34

discounting leslie lewis because on the

15:37

last leadership race on the second

15:39

ballot she actually had more votes than

15:41

anybody more than peter mckay uh more

15:43

than aaron o'toole and just the way they

15:45

were concentrated in different parts of

15:47

the country was the only thing that

15:48

stopped her from winning um her approach

15:51

this time has been even more strategic

15:54

she's uh i've seen the numbers she's

15:56

increased her number of votes across the

15:57

country considerably so i'm kind of

15:59

happy because i am supporting her uh but

16:02

each of them brings strengths to the

16:03

table and it was interesting to see uh

16:05

patrick brown just recently saying that

16:08

if pierre poliev was elected that pat

16:11

brown said he wouldn't serve

16:13

because of the differences they have but

16:15

he mentioned leslie lewis and he said if

16:16

lesson lewis got elected i could serve

16:18

with her so there's some you know

16:21

fired up debate going on which is good

16:23

in any race and uh increasing amount of

16:26

support for last long as people look at

16:29

the types of policies she's talking

16:30

about

16:31

yeah it's fascinating

16:33

so much to talk about on this but scott

16:35

atkinson and roman baber do you have any

16:36

history with either of those two

16:38

uh no that's the only reason i didn't

16:40

mention them i i know them i i've i've

16:43

had conversations i think they haven't

16:45

been able to reach out and sell as many

16:46

memberships i don't think that's any

16:48

secret nothing negative about them uh

16:51

they both brought some important points

16:53

to the debate when they've been having

16:54

these uh open debates

16:56

okay so you know this obviously isn't

16:59

your first rodeo stockwell day you

17:00

served for 25 years elected nine times

17:03

uh you understand what the nation needs

17:06

in order to move forward um and you also

17:09

you know have a bit of a sense of what's

17:10

coming why why was leslie your top pick

17:13

out of the crop here on this one what is

17:15

it about her that you feel like

17:17

polls are out in front in your mind

17:21

great question a lot of people ask that

17:23

and a couple of things she's the only

17:26

one i'm using the word accomplished

17:27

carefully they're all accomplished she's

17:29

the only one of the group that was

17:31

accomplished in business before going

17:33

into politics some people may not be

17:35

aware that she founded her own law firm

17:38

ran that for 17 years successfully

17:40

before going into politics and in terms

17:42

of toughness if you wonder if anybody's

17:44

tough if you have to get up and go to

17:46

work every day with a big law firm full

17:48

of lawyers uh you know what you get

17:50

tough over time but she did that very

17:52

successfully she's the most educated and

17:54

i'm not saying that education alone is

17:57

what counts but she has a

17:59

of course uh her

18:00

bachelor's degree she's got a a degree

18:02

in environmental science so her

18:04

approaches to green energy and some

18:07

some very uh interesting thought there

18:09

along with also integrating the oil and

18:11

gas industry uh it carries extra weight

18:14

when you've got a degree in that and the

18:16

fact that she's got a degree in business

18:18

and then a doctor's in law she has

18:21

taught law she's been an instructor at

18:23

the top law schools in the country uh

18:25

she just brings a whole lot to the table

18:26

a lot of this she accomplished

18:28

as a single mom

18:30

so you know she's got tremendous

18:32

tremendous attributes and experience and

18:34

i ask people to picture in their minds

18:37

picture the debate stage that's going to

18:38

happen sooner or later when we get into

18:40

a federal election picture justin

18:42

trudeau up there and now put a face

18:44

beside his of all the candidates who do

18:47

you think is gonna grab the attention of

18:49

people when they see uh prime minister

18:51

face to face against you know one of the

18:54

other uh men or against leslie lewis and

18:57

i think she's going to really attract

18:59

attention if people haven't already done

19:01

so she's also willing to touch the

19:04

issues that some people won't touch

19:05

parental rights for instance which are

19:07

being eroded she's willing to speak on

19:09

that she's willing to speak

19:10

intelligently on the fact that we should

19:12

not be bringing um oil into canada from

19:17

countries which are not democratic which

19:19

have terrible human rights records she's

19:21

speaking very clearly on that so she's

19:24

got a broad range of issues and proven

19:27

experience that i just think gives her

19:29

the edge over the other other good

19:30

candidates but it definitely gives her

19:32

the edge

19:33

yeah and we have so much respect for her

19:35

and and the other candidates as well i

19:36

think anyone who puts their name forward

19:38

deserves the utmost of respect from

19:40

canadians it is such a grueling

19:42

grueling feat um but you know you've

19:45

worked with pierre and when i'm talking

19:47

with people a lot of times they're

19:49

saying listen we just want to see the

19:51

person at the helm of the conservative

19:52

party that has the highest chance of

19:54

actually winning in the next general

19:56

election we know that quebec has 78

19:59

ridings in a general election ontario

20:01

has 121. if you roll in all the urban

20:05

centers let's say vancouver edmonton

20:07

calgary regina winnipeg you know i'm

20:10

i've never actually calculated this but

20:11

i'm guesstimating that the urban centers

20:13

were probably pushing 170 to 200 ridings

20:17

has the epicenter of political power

20:20

started to shift from quebec being the

20:24

king maker to possibly

20:26

the ethnic vote being the king maker

20:28

across the nation

20:29

and do you think that could be that

20:31

could be a real factor like could pierre

20:33

actually win the ethnic vote

20:35

um

20:36

has that factored into your your thought

20:38

process at all

20:39

well it's key there's no question you

20:41

cannot dismiss it at all and as we've

20:44

seen

20:45

um you know patrick brown talks about

20:47

the ethnic boat the importance of that

20:49

and i met with a number of his

20:51

supporters at the edmonton debate

20:53

actually a lot of former friends of mine

20:56

um you know still friends of mine in the

20:58

sikh community who are supporting him

21:00

we had a great time because we

21:02

remembered great things we did way back

21:05

uh on my campaign

21:06

so um there are strengths that people

21:10

realize if you tap into let's face it

21:12

the ethnic community so called

21:15

is really becoming mainstream in canada

21:17

it's not even seen as you know keep

21:19

using the word minority but it's not

21:21

even really seen as that and they

21:24

traditionally most not all but they

21:26

embrace small c conservative values the

21:28

importance of family

21:30

the importance of enterprise small

21:32

business

21:33

the importance of

21:36

proper education

21:38

they really support what our small c

21:40

conservative values so patrick realizes

21:42

that pierre realizes that for sure i

21:44

think they all do to a degree and this

21:46

is why i i just because i'm supporting

21:48

her i don't want to keep going back to

21:49

this but this is why lester lewis for

21:51

instance in the gta some of the meetings

21:53

she had in the gta it was almost

21:55

entirely ethnic supports large meetings

21:59

people were energetic they were fired up

22:01

she does let's face it she brings

22:03

something you know having come to canada

22:06

as in as an immigrant with her family

22:09

and as as a young girl she knows what

22:12

new immigrants go through she has seen

22:14

her own in her own family some of the

22:16

struggles

22:17

had her mother telling her listen

22:19

there's nothing you can't do don't let

22:21

anybody tell you that you can't

22:24

so she really taps into that yeah it's

22:26

going to be a fascinating race here as

22:28

the summer proceeds

22:30

let me ask you this mr day

22:32

what your gut sense

22:35

what matters most in this leadership

22:38

race is it somebody who can unify

22:40

is it somebody who can stand up against

22:42

some of the international pressures that

22:44

have so blatantly encroached upon our

22:46

nation whether that's the who

22:48

um is it somebody that that cares about

22:51

not just the fiscal issues but the

22:52

social as well like in your mind what

22:55

matters most in a leadership candidate

22:57

this time around

22:59

it's a good blend of the very items

23:01

you've just mentioned it's got to be

23:02

somebody

23:03

i believe first of all who will stand up

23:06

for their constituents and she's proven

23:08

that she's willing to do that

23:10

her approach to parental rights that

23:12

parental rights should not be eroded

23:14

that you should be able to speak to your

23:16

kids freely and lovingly and openly

23:18

about any issue whether it's gender or

23:20

whether it's education or whatever it

23:22

might be so she's she has not been shy

23:25

about those but she's also had some

23:28

considerable effect on the international

23:30

level with the rights

23:32

with national rights or canadian rights

23:35

she was one of the leaders in pushing

23:37

back against the who who were trying to

23:40

force a treaty that many saw as

23:43

detrimental to

23:44

national sovereignty related to the

23:47

pandemic uh each nation should we should

23:50

always look at how we can work with

23:52

other countries in a cooperative way but

23:54

when you give up your sovereignty when

23:56

you say okay we will do whatever the who

23:59

tells us

24:00

then you're putting your own national

24:02

sovereignty at risk she got a national

24:05

movement going on that and as you know a

24:07

lot of the issues the items that wha

24:10

wanted to impose upon canada and other

24:12

countries were pulled back because of

24:14

the efforts to stand up against that

24:16

related to tax issues she's been very

24:18

strong she's very knowledgeable so she

24:21

brings a really solid mix at the

24:23

international level proving herself not

24:25

afraid to stand up even with

24:27

controversial issues to sometimes a an

24:30

upset national media and also the

24:33

knowledge the way strategically to

24:35

operate to get things done she's already

24:37

proven herself

24:39

well i think it'd be great to have you

24:41

back and maybe have somebody from the

24:43

caucus that's supporting pierre somebody

24:44

that's supporting charade and a couple

24:46

of the others and maybe chop it up a

24:48

little bit more as we get closer to

24:50

ballot day i don't know if you'd be

24:52

interested in that or not but i think

24:53

that'd be a fascinating conversation

24:55

um as we begin to close mr day um can i

24:58

ask this question for canadians out

25:00

there it's you know it has been such a

25:01

defining season i know we're going to

25:03

look back at this moment this era in our

25:06

national history and say wow

25:08

that's a moment to study you know so

25:10

much shifted so much change it was such

25:11

a defining window of time

25:14

as we close what would be your words of

25:17

encouragement

25:18

or wisdom for our viewers in this what

25:21

feels like such a treacherous season for

25:23

our nation

25:25

i would say to be unswerving and never

25:28

back off of demanding your right to be

25:31

heard we live in a time and an era where

25:35

if your view

25:37

does not correspond with whatever the

25:38

federal government is or whatever the

25:42

national media is

25:43

you are dismissed it used to be you

25:46

could at least get a debate but now you

25:48

are dismissed if your view does not

25:51

comply in canada at least with the

25:53

liberal socialist alliance you're called

25:56

a conspirator you're called misogynist

25:59

you're called racist

26:01

it is so unhealthy and so heartbreaking

26:04

to see true debate being dismissed so i

26:08

would say whatever party you are with we

26:10

must demand the right of people to be

26:12

able to express their view at the end of

26:15

the day there'll be a vote but you know

26:18

in a democracy as i say you might not

26:21

not always get your way but you should

26:24

always be able to have your say and

26:26

people of all parties should stand very

26:28

strongly on that well put well put thank

26:31

you for those words of wisdom and to all

26:33

of our viewers let's continue to lock in

26:35

in prayer for our prime minister for the

26:37

liberal caucus for jug meets sing as he

26:41

is the power broker here possibly for

26:43

the next uh three years let's continue

26:45

to pray for this conservative leadership

26:47

race and let's continue to do all the

26:49
