Toronto ruined by divisive, woke politics, Jordan Peterson tells Elon Musk

Source: Dailywire / X

Tech mogul Elon Musk took aim at the “woke mind virus” taking over the West in a long-awaited interview with Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson.

Peterson told Musk in the interview, which was livestreamed on X Monday afternoon, that woke politics have made his hometown of Toronto more divided and racist despite the ideology’s stated tenets of “anti-racism” and “inclusivity.”

Musk said the diversity, equity and inclusion policies the Democratic party in America have been championing are “fundamentally anti-meritocratic” and “really just another form of racism and sexism.”

“This group identity nonsense has made things much more (divided.) It insists on dividing people by groups as a primary conceptual distinction between individuals, race, ethnicity and sex,” Peterson said. “I can see it in Toronto. When my kids grew up in Toronto, downtown, they were race-, ethnicity- and gender-blind. They had an unbelievably diverse range of friends. And no one cared.”

He said that woke politics have caused division all over the Western world, even in Toronto, a city known for its multiculturalism and many coexisting ethnicities.

“That started to shift around with this emphasis on group division. It’s a really ugly thing to see,” Peterson said.

The two spoke about cultural Marxism and the “woke mind virus’” effect on children’s identity, including Musk’s son.

“I’m particularly unhappy with what my colleagues in the psychological field have done with regard to gender-affirming care,” Peterson began. “I think they are a pack of contemptible cowards, and everyone who’s been involved in this relationship with minors should go to prison.”

Musk agreed.

“The so-called ‘gender-affirming care,’ which is a terrible euphemism – it’s child mutilation and sterilization,” Musk said.

“Under the guise of gender-affirming care and compassion,” Peterson added.

Musk was particularly upset about minors “far below the age of consent” who are enabled to undergo permanent life-altering treatments such as puberty blockers, double mastectomies and genital reassignment surgeries.

“The reality is that almost every child goes through some kind of identity crisis. It’s just part of growing up,” he said. “It’s very possible for adults to manipulate children who are having a natural identity crisis into believing that they are the wrong gender.”

Musk thinks puberty blockers are deceptively named, saying they are sterilizing drugs which ensure that many who take them will never be able to have children.

“We have an age of consent for a reason,” Musk said. “There are ages in which you could do things (drive, drink, get tattoos) because if we allow children to take permanent actions when they’re ten, 12, and 14 years old, they will do things that they subsequently greatly regret.”

Musk said that he was tricked into signing off on his son Xavier’s transition and that his son is now dead, killed by the “woke mind virus.” Musk’s child is still alive but now living as a woman named Vivian Jenna Wilson following a legal name change in 2022.

“I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he (didn’t get the treatment,)” he said. “I was tricked into doing this. And it wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs.”

Peterson added that he believes clinicians knowingly lie to parents about the necessity of gender-changing treatments and surgery to save their children.

“If there’s a higher suicide rate, the reason is because of the underlying depression and anxiety, not because of the gender dysphoria and every goddamn clinician knows that too and they’re too cowardly to come out and say it,” Peterson said.


Musk feels like he lost his son because of transgender ideology.

“They call it deadnaming for a reason. The reason it’s called deadnaming is because your son is dead,” Musk said. “My son Xavier is dead. Killed by the woke mind virus.”

Peterson said the woke ideology characterized by an emphasis on group identities and victimhood has led to many “demolished kids.”

Musk has vowed to “destroy the woke mind virus” ever since his son Xavier’s transition.

Canada’s premiers urge Trudeau to reform bail system following homicide

Canada’s provincial and territorial premiers are saying enough is enough after a British Columbia woman was allegedly killed by a man released from jail on bail days earlier. Canada’s provincial and territorial premiers sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, urging that he revisit bail reform following the death of 30-year-old Tori Dunn in Surrey, B.C.

The letter follows a similar one penned in January of last year. 

“Tori Dunn’s alleged killer was released from jail just days before the fatal assault, despite a long criminal history and current criminal charges for an unrelated robbery. Provincial prosecutors had urged that he not be released into the community. Clearly, in this case, Bill C-48 failed to keep a violent offender from posing a serious risk to public safety,” reads the letter.

The 40-year-old charged with Dunn’s murder, Adam Troy Mann, was homeless and living in a tent in the bush in Chilliwack, B.C. after being released on bail following two robbery charges. 

He had also previously completed a federal prison sentence, where parole records claimed he “barely missed the criteria for being diagnosed as a psychopath,” according to CBC.

According to other documents obtained by CTV News, Mann’s application for parole from his initial sentence accompanied a psychological risk assessment, which concluded he had a 76% chance to violently reoffend.

The letter follows the recent conclusion of the 2024 Council of the Federation in Halifax, where they all met and criticized federal overreach. 

The letter cited various instances of individuals being arrested and rearrested after bail release.

“We urge the federal government to consider any necessary changes related to both bail and sentencing, including further legislative amendments,” reads the letter.

Ontario Progressive Conservative MPP Graham McGregor recently spoke after a different investigation into carjacking and home invasions resulted in over 150 charges being laid. He noted that several of the suspects were arrested while released on bail.

“I hear from police regularly about catching the same criminal three, four, five, six, seven, eight times. And to hear that today police are arresting the same people who’ve already been previously arrested breaks my heart,” said McGregor.

Peel Police Service Board Chair Nando Iannicca cited a recent example following a record-setting gun seizure in Peel. 

“It sounds like a joke… We’ve talked about the problem with car thefts, but (this) actually happened here in our GTA jurisdiction. Some guy’s up before a judge for having a stolen car, gets let off (on bail), and went into the parking lot courthouse and stole another car. You can’t make this stuff up,” said Iannicca.

The National Police Federation made a similar call to the Liberals to implement data-driven bail decision-making. Among these recommendations made by the federation were six others to improve the bail system.

Some of the requests made by Canada’s premiers in their Jan. 2023 letter were implemented as amendments to Bill C-48 in Dec. 2023, such as implementing a reverse onus on those facing charges to prove why they should be released on bail. 

However, in Monday’s letter, the premiers said that more work needs to be done.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre previously pledged to end Canada’s catch-and-release bail system.

LEVY: Toronto infrastructure is crumbling but at least we’ll get Taylor Swift street signs

Source: X

Toronto deputy mayor Jennifer McKelvie let everyone know on X that she intended to move a motion this week to declare the route from the Rogers Centre to Nathan Phillips Square Taylor Swift Way for the entire month of November.

The motion, seconded by deputy mayor Ausma Malik, is to honour Swift’s tour coming to Toronto.

City officials told True North the cost will be $14,000 for 22 ceremonial signs at every intersection along that route.

It’s a mere drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of City Hall spending under the socialist regime of tax-and-spend Mayor Olivia Chow. Nevertheless, it’s the optics.

It doesn’t just symbolize everything that is wrong with City Hall — which is run by a bunch of childish and sophomoric incompetents who engage in silliness like this Toronto sinks into a decrepit state. It shows a cavalier attitude towards the real issues and towards money.

On that same agenda of Wednesday’s council meeting, Chow moved a long-winded motion asking for an update by year’s end on the city’s current stormwater mitigation and adaptation programs for private homeowners.

This is of course an attempt by Chow and Co. (the motion was seconded by McKelvie) to look like they’re doing something after last week’s deluge of rain, which turned the Don Valley Parkway into a raging river and left many basements (including ours) flooded.

This is despite the fact that Toronto homeowners have been handed a 9% water rate hike each year since 2006. That’s 9% compounded each year.

The piece de resistance is Chow’s request that city officials look at another tax — dressed in the guise of a commercial parking levy — to address the climate crisis that led to severe flooding throughout Toronto.

Or so she claimed.

The motion refers to the city’s Basement Flooding Subsidy program, which offers grants of up to $3,400 to homeowners to install backwater valves and sump pumps.

But the program has so much red tape that, according to a report to this year’s budget committee, just over 10,000 homes have received grants in 17 years!

Naturally the costs to address basement flooding have gone up.

Let’s not forget that the city is dealing with more than 100-year-old sewer infrastructure which has not been replaced.

It has been typical of successive councils to take the money and direct it to pet projects.

Their priorities are all messed up.

Chow has been a master at doing these kinds of things since she took office a year ago.

There are the bike lanes on Avenue Road from Bloor Street West to Davenport, one of 25 projects that will cost taxpayers $7.5-million to put in place and at least $200,000 yearly to sweep and shovel (during the winter when no one uses them.)

The bike lanes on Avenue Road are absolutely absurd considering there are lanes a few blocks to the east on Yonge Street.

Whenever I use those lanes, there is no one on them but Uber Eats and other food delivery people.

Last week, Chow announced that she’d be handing the organizers of diversity events an extra $2-million bailout to help defray their rising costs. She did so while partying at one such event dressed in one of her newly acquired gowns.

It is interesting to note that she always has time in her terribly busy schedule to dance and party with various multicultural communities. But not so for the Walk with Israel on June 9 — attended by a record 50,000 members of my community — when she claimed she was too busy to attend.

That said, she really has no business giving already heavily subsidized festivals more money. I suspect if it were Chow’s own money, she wouldn’t be handing it over like water.

But the biggest slap in the face was the insistence by Chow and her cabal of leftists — led by Chris Moise — to rename Yonge-Dundas Square to Sankofa Square.

The initiative, which had considerable opposition, will cost up to $13 million.

I knew when Chow ran for office she, like most socialists, would address every single problem by taking the easy way out and asking taxpayers for more money.

I knew she and her incompetent sycophants would never be satiated and would find more ridiculous ways to spend that money, instead of dealing with the real priorities.

In fact, last week’s torrential rainfall in Toronto was eerily symbolic of her approach to managing the city.

She spends money like water expecting the rich will keep her city afloat.

Borrowing from Taylor Swift’s song I Knew You Were Trouble — “trouble, trouble, trouble” — I knew Chow was trouble the day she was elected to run Canada’s largest city.

But hey, I’m sure the world-renowned singer will love the street signs. 

Multiple wildfires force thousands to evacuate Jasper

Source: X

Jasper, Alta. has been evacuated as multiple wildfires came blowing into the area late Monday night, blocking off all escape routes but one. 

The Municipality of Jasper declared a state of emergency following its evacuation alert at 10pm MT Monday.  

Around 4,700 residents from the town of Jasper and visitors camping in Jasper National Park were forced to flee to British Columbia on soot-ladened roads with poor visibility. 

The east-west running Highway 16 through the town of Jasper was caught in the flames, while the fire continued to move northeast, threatening to cut off highway access to Edmonton. 

A separate fire moving in from the south shut down the Icefields Parkway, which runs north to south, meaning the only available route for evacuees was west into B.C.

Videos of long lines of vehicles jammed bumper to bumper along mountain roads have been posted to social media. 

Park and town officials said they were pressed to get vulnerable people out of the area and help fuel vehicles with very little notice.

Alberta Emergency Alert told residents to flee because the fire was five hours from the Jasper townsite.

Just after 2:30am MT a notice was issued to inform people that “the evacuation is progressing well.”

The province of B.C. worked to find immediate accommodation for evacuees.

B.C. Minister for Emergency Management Bowin Ma said that the province was working “as quickly as possible” to “provide safe refuge” for those coming from Jasper. 

“B.C. will do everything we can to provide safe refuge for evacuees from Jasper, and are working as quickly as possible to coordinate routes and arrange host communities on our side of the border,” wrote Ma in a post on X.

A welcome centre was set up at a community hall in Valemount, B.C. but reached capacity by 4:30 a.m. 

“Valemount has limited services and cannot accommodate more evacuees at the community hall,” wrote the Municipality of Jasper in a social media post. “If you are on the road, please drive carefully and stop and get some rest as needed. This is an evolving emergency situation. Please be patient and be safe. We will provide more information as it becomes available.”

Another reception centre was set up in Grande Prairie, Alta. at Bonnets Energy Centre to welcome evacuees coming in on Tuesday. 

“We are working with the Government of Alberta to establish a reception centre in a large city,” wrote Parks Canada in a social media post. “If you can find a campground or hotel to spend the night, or family or friends where you can spend the night, please do so.” 

According to the agency, numerous evacuations had already taken place at different campgrounds.

“Parks Canada is responding to multiple wildfire starts. This is an evolving and dynamic situation,” it said. The Alberta Wildfire Status Dashboard confirmed that there are 170 active wildfires burning across the province as of Tuesday morning.

The Andrew Lawton Show | Jagmeet Singh says Trudeau has “failed” – but won’t do anything about it

Source: Facebook

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Justin Trudeau has “failed” as a prime minister. But when asked if that means he’ll pull the NDP’s support for the Liberal government, Singh just said there’s already a scheduled election coming in October 2025 and he just wants Canadians to know they have an alternative. True North’s Andrew Lawton says it’s clear the NDP and the Liberals are one party, so Singh should stop pretending otherwise.

Also, a new decision by the Supreme Court of Canada allows judges to award compensation if Parliament or provincial legislatures enact unconstitutional legislation. However, legal scholars warn that the judiciary is vastly expanding its own authority here, and undermining democracy at the same time. Christine Van Geyn from the Canadian Constitution Foundation joins to discuss.

Plus, the unemployment rate for temporary residents in Canada is double the national average, with skilled and educated immigrants unable to find work due in part to how the Canadian immigration system is structured. Immigration lawyer Siavash Shekarian joins the show to offer up a couple of possible solutions.

Ottawa councillor resigns as Conservative candidate due to impaired driving charge

Source: Facebook

An Ottawa city councillor slated to run for the federal Conservatives has resigned as a candidate after being charged with impaired driving.

Matthew Luloff, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran who served in Canada’s war in Afghanistan, is a two-term city councillor in Ottawa, representing Orléans East-Cumberland Ward. He was nominated as the Conservative Party of Canada candidate in Orléans until earlier this month.

“Matt Luloff resigned his candidacy on July 10, 2024, due to a personal matter,” a Conservative spokesperson told True North.

Luloff’s lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, told True North that the resignation was a direct result of the charges against his client. 

“We will be defending him on the charge. And he is to be treated as if he is innocent,” said Greenspon.

Despite the charges against Luloff, Greenspon said that there was no accident involved. 

Luloff was born and raised in Ottawa.

He previously served in the Canadian military between 2003 and 2009 and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2008. He also served as a member of the Ceremonial Guard.

Following his military service, Luloff graduated from Carleton University with a bachelor of public affairs and policy Management. He worked as an advisor to several members of parliament and federal cabinet ministers. 

He also produced and co-hosted a podcast, “Veteran X,” meant for veterans and first responders transitioning to civilian life, which seemingly posted its last episode in July 2020. 

Luloff is the chair of the Ottawa Public Library and previously served as the chair of Ottawa’s Community and Protective Services Committee, as well as the liaison for veterans and the accessibility advisory. 

He previously told True North that he was unquestionably a conservative despite previously donating to the Liberals and working for a Liberal cabinet minister. 

During the Freedom Convoy, Luloff publicly supported invoking the National Defence Act to deploy the military and disrupt the peaceful protest.

However, Luloff said the Liberals had abandoned the values that once attracted him to the party.

True North reached out to Luloff for comment but received no reply.

Supporters rally outside court for woman charged over protesting at abortion clinic

Source: Linda Gibbons / Catholic Register

A pro-life activist is facing charges of mischief and failing to appear in court after protesting outside of a Toronto abortion clinic.

Over 20 pro-lifers protested the arrest of Linda Gibbons outside the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto Monday morning and later filled the courtroom in support of her.

“I think it was it was beautiful to be able to pack the court with pro-life supporters there for Linda,” Maeve Roche, the youth outreach coordinator for the national pro-life group  Campaign Life Coalition, told True North outside the courthouse. 

Roche helped coordinate many of the protesters who rallied in support of Gibbons.

She said Gibbons decided to remain silent during her proceedings to identify herself with the unborn children who are voiceless and cannot defend themselves in the face of abortion.

“Seeing Linda and being able to shout our support for her in the courtroom was really beautiful,” Roche said. “Hopefully, she is impacted by our presence, knowing that there are so many Canadian pro-lifers who support her and her beautiful ministry to protect pregnant mothers and their children.” 

Gibbons was arrested May 30 after she marched back and forth in front of the door of the Morgantaler abortion clinic in the Leaside neighbourhood of Toronto. She held a sign with a picture of a baby, which read, “Why mother? I have so much love to give.”

She had been arrested in the same location one week earlier and returned instead of attending her court hearing.

Gibbons is a long-time pro-life activist and previously received an abortion herself. She has served more than 11 years in prison over nearly three decades of activism. She said in a previous interview that she had been arrested around 25 times since her first arrest in 1989.

Ontario’s “bubble zone” laws create a  50-metre radius around abortion clinics prohibiting pro-life activism. Gibbons was protesting the existence of the zone itself and trying to persuade mothers against having abortions.

Most provinces have some version of the bubble zone law, with Manitoba and Saskatchewan being the exceptions.

Her courtroom appearance was procedural, scheduling further court dates in August and October. The pro-life community nonetheless wanted to show gratitude for her activism and willingness to give up her freedom for the cause.

The courtroom was packed with Gibbons’ supporters. When she entered in handcuffs, her supporters stood in solidarity before Justice Kate Doorly, who presided over the case, told them to sit down.

Gibbons remained silent when Doorly spoke to her.

As Gibbons was taken away from the courtroom and placed in handcuffs again, one supporter yelled, “That’s unnecessary!” Others shouted, “God bless you, Linda!” and “You are a real warrior for Christ!” before leaving the courtroom together.

Roche said bubble zones are an unnecessary limit to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as there are already laws that protect women from harassment and clinics against potential pro-life violence.

She hopes to raise awareness of Gibbons’ case, which she expects will end up getting appealed to a higher court. She would like to see the pro-life movement push Ontario MPPs to repeal the bubble zone legislation.

One Gibbons supporter, Campaign Life Coalition intern Nathalia Comrie, related to Gibbons as she, too, is from the “post-abortive community.”

Comrie told True North that she felt coerced by her partner and family when in high school to get an abortion and wished that someone had been “on her side,” providing a pro-life perspective when she went to the clinic.

She said pro-life activists are sometimes the only people informing new mothers of the potential risks and consequences of abortion.

“Inside the abortion clinic, they do not tell you about pregnancy care centers or the long-term or short-term effects of abortion,” she said. “For me, at least in my experience, they told me a lot of lies. They said that the pain was going to feel like period cramps. It did not. It was 1000 times worse, and they told me that there was no research to prove that it would affect my fertility. That is not true.”

Comrie’s concerned that bubble zones, while infringing on Canadians’ rights to free expression, also prevent an essential piece of the conversation from being told to mothers coming in for abortions.

“They are only there to facilitate the ending of your child’s life,” she said.

Gibbon’s next court dates are Aug. 20 and Oct. 22.

Trudeau government had plans for “national decriminalization” of drugs: memo

Source: Unsplash

The Liberal government intended to “use all tools” at its disposal to implement drug decriminalization nationally, according to an internal memo.

First reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, the document, a memo to Addictions Minister Ya’ara Saks obtained under access to information disclosure, was aimed at implementing a “national decriminalization” drug policy. 

The memo was dated only five weeks before the B.C. provincial government decided to walk back its decriminalization project amid widespread backlash and reports of public disorder. 

“Our government is committed to working in partnership with any jurisdictions that have a comprehensive plan for the decriminalization of possession of small amounts of substances for personal use,” reads the 134-page document. “Their plan would have to include close oversight and evaluation and ensure enhanced health and social supports, public engagement and law enforcement training.”

Under a headline that read “national decriminalization,” the memo read. “We continue to work with willing jurisdictions to use all tools at our disposal to address this crisis including approaches to decriminalization.”

The memo was to prepare Saks for an appearance before the House of Commons health committee in March, where Saks defended the Liberals’ decision to grant B.C. a waiver under the Controlled Drugs And Substances Act.

The waiver, granted by the Trudeau government last year, allowed B.C. residents to possess up to 2.5 grams of cocaine, methamphetamine, opioids like fentanyl and other hard drugs and use them in public spaces legally.

However, the province walked back part of its experiment in April. B.C. Premier David Eby asked the federal government to have the exemption reversed regarding drug use in public spaces, like hospitals and restaurants after several unsavoury incidents and strong public backlash.

The Trudeau government confirmed the reversal in May.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre seized on the news about the “national” decriminalization plan. 

“If they are re-elected, expect crack, cocaine, heroin and fentanyl in a schoolyard near you,” Poilievre wrote of the Liberals in a post on X.

“This now explains why the Trudeau Government repeatedly refused to reject the City of Toronto’s and the City of Montreal’s request for the same hard drug legalization experiment that caused so much harm in B.C,” the Conservative Party of Canada said in a statement.

The party’s release said the British Columbia “experiment” came with a death toll and it would be reckless to expand the program nationally.

“Ya’ara Saks, has refused to admit that this experiment has been a failure, and now, this secret Liberal Government memo has revealed that the Liberal Government is planning a national hard drug legalization program to replicate their disastrous experiment from BC across the country,” the party’s statement said. 

Saks did not respond to a request for comment from True North.

Six takeaways from Danielle Smith’s interview with Jordan Peterson

Source: Dailywire / YouTube

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith feels the Liberal government is Canada’s most “illiberal” ever. She preferred Pierre Trudeau to his son, Canada’s current prime minister. And, she says, environmental extremists have gone too far.

These are just a few things Smith said in a repeat interview with Alberta native Jordan Peterson that stretched nearly two hours.

Below are some salient takeaways from the interview on the renowned psychologist’s podcast.

“The Liberals are the most illiberal government we’ve ever had”

Smith claims that classical liberalism should stand for foundational freedoms enshrined in the Charter — notably free speech, which she said is “being trampled all over” by internet censorship bills, media hollowing, and a new gag bill on oil and gas companies.

Bill C-59 restricts oil and gas companies from discussing their environmental records unless they meet undefined international standards. Smith plans to challenge the bill in court.

“We’re having to have a government take on the role of being an advocate because they’re crowding out the private voices, which I think has got to be the most illiberal approach,” she said. 

Smith said that her province has successfully defeated the Liberals in court, but this still comes at a cost as court fights take years and a lot of money, and generally the policies remain the law while these battles wage on. This, she said, stifles investment in her province and helps the Liberals achieve their policy goals regardless of their legality.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the opposite of an advocate for Canada

Smith said that the world assumes that the prime minister of Canada would be an advocate for the country and its resource development. The country was structured to give the federal government power to negotiate on behalf of the provinces, which was supposed to work in their best interests. This isn’t the reality, she told Peterson.

 “He’s using it for the reverse. He’s actually using it to put up trade barriers — not build the infrastructure we need — and interfere with their ability to get our product to market,” said Smith. 

She said this counterintuitive approach to Canada’s success is why she’s had to become so active in international events, such as COP28; if she does not attend them, then Alberta’s story and potential to be a worldwide energy superpower will go untold, she said.

“You’ve got a federal prime minister who seems more interested in doing my job, talking about dentistry programs and school lunch programs…. I’m finding increasingly, I’m having to do his job in reaching out to the world and making them know that we are going to be a trading partner and we are going to be a secure supply of not only energy but food as well,” said Smith. 

Tyrannical governments exercise control by controlling energy and food

Smith recalled reading an article in the late 1990s which explained that the most effective way for a tyrannical government to control its population was by controlling energy and food.

“It’s been fascinating and shocking and disheartening for me to see that all of the policies being devised by the extreme environmental movement have been to control exactly those two things: make energy more costly and less available; make food more costly and less available,” said Smith.

Environmental extremists have taken it one step too far

They started with a campaign against coal, which progressed to a campaign against fracking, followed by oil sands, and now have landed on food production. 

Waging war against the food producers will backfire, said Smith, citing the Netherlands. 

She said she recently read that Denmark is putting a $100 carbon tax on belching and flatulating cattle. 

“The next logical step is, if belching and farting and breathing is now a sin, how long before they start putting a carbon tax on human beings?” asked Smith.

Smith prefers Pierre Trudeau to Justin Trudeau

“I actually preferred the Pierre Trudeau way because he just wanted to steal our wealth. He didn’t want to destroy it. Trudeau, the younger, actually wants to destroy our wealth. I just can’t imagine how he thinks that is good for the entire country,” said Smith. 

Smith said that she deals with this attack on Alberta by pointing out that Trudeau only got 32% of the vote in the last election. 

“He had a partnership with the NDP. Jagmeet Singh spends almost as much time criticizing Justin Trudeau as I do, yet he continues to prop him up,” said Smith.

Jordan Peterson quickly interjected.

“He’s the worst hypocrite in Canadian politics ever,” said Peterson.

Smith said Canadians don’t believe in the Liberals’ vision, citing Toronto—St. Paul’s, a Liberal stronghold since 1993, which was recently overturned.

“The public is seeing that they are one and the same in the kind of damage they’re causing to our economy,” she said.

There’s still time for the Liberals to do serious damage before they’re sent packing

Smith said she has recently seen Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault trying to push forward as many extreme policies as possible, perhaps knowing he has one foot out the door. 

“I don’t know if they’re going for broke, if they just think, we’re going to lose anyway, so we may as well get all of this on the table because it will take years to undo. Or, if they honestly think that making energy and food more expensive for all Canadians is somehow a winning strategy,” she said. 

Old-fashioned Liberals led with their heart and compassion, said Smith. 

She said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has become the biggest advocate for the regular, everyday person having trouble making ends meet. 

“I don’t know when the Liberals stopped caring, but it’s so obvious that what you’ve described is true: they’re not putting people first anymore,” said Smith.
