Charlie Angus on Canada Fighting Back Against Trump

Donald Trump kiss my ass and premier Doug Ford said I'm a big guy so there's a lot of

“asked to kiss his what he said. He also said that we are going to unite at the premier level”

and we are going to inflict massive amounts of pain against the United States. Let me show you first

where Doug Ford the right wing conservative premier of Ontario talks about that Donald Trump needs to kiss his big ass here play this clip. You sound a little more subdued than you did this morning on the radio and you said Donald Trump could kiss your ass did the prime minister tell you to ask you to tone it down a bit? No, you didn't. I'm kind of calm in but he wasn't against that. And I have a lot of real estate on my ass so he has a lot of room to kiss my ass.

And Donald Trump then posted lots of bluster from Doug Ford who is the premier of the Canadian province of Ontario but who is better known as the less charismatic intelligent and overall unimpressive brother of the late Great Rob Ford America has been carrying Canada

for decades but no longer the U.S. will always be far bigger richer and stronger than Canada

without the United States Canada couldn't survive. It's where they get all their money and be cost of their current bad leadership primarily governor carnie is how he refers to the well-respected world renowned leader of the free world prime minister carnie and his flunky Ford they will not

“be allowed to keep taking advantage of the United States their key to survival for our Canadian viewers.”

The fact that they would say the right wing premier of Ontario of the conservative party Doug Ford is somehow like tied to the hip to prime minister carnie but just goes to show you that Donald Trump doesn't know what the hell he's talking about number one but number two that Canada is united and ready to pummel Donald Trump and his despicable regime. Donald Trump goes on to say remember much of the electricity oil and gas that Canada gets is transported through the USA someone should

get these clowns to fall in line or the consequences for Canada will be far worse Canada's unemployment rate is now 10% and rapidly rising their businesses are fleeing for the United States and it's all because of their failed policies and inept leadership the days of ripping off our farmers and

“other businesses are over. Thank you for your attention to this matter Donald J Trump now the United”

States gets the majority of its crude and a huge amount of its electricity and other critical things

like critical minerals from Canada everything Donald Trump said in this statement is completely false you know it's like when Donald Trump also says I'm having negotiations with the ayatola oh we have demolished them they are begging for a deal he's doing the same loser behavior he's just a freaking loser and pre-mear Ford of Ontario says like I can go back and forth with this guy but you know what he's a loser the guy's an idiot he's a loser he's a bankruptor he bankrupts things

I name a one a deal with such losers play this clip you know I'm not gonna I'm just not gonna take the bait this guy's a loser he's gonna be a loser and simple as that we're gonna fight with everything we have and you know something I have more courage more brains in my baby toe than he has an insult body so there you go more from Ford right here saying I'm not gonna take any advice from the king of bankruptcies play this clip you know I don't respond to a dictator like

president Trump bully like president Trump as I said before he's a type of guy in school that would take your lunch money one day take your took off your your head the next day and then steal your running shoes but I'm not gonna take any advice off a guy that's the king of bankruptcies and he's actually terrifying his own people taxing his own people and I'm gonna make sure I communicate through the US media I'm gonna be reaching out to every single governor every single senator and

every single congressperson and when it comes to the midterms I have a message to the Americans don't vote in a person that's gonna kill your jobs he ran on creating more jobs last time I checked jobs went down in the US and Ontario created more jobs he ran on reducing the cost of living last time I checked foods more expensive down there homes are more expensive and the reason homes are more expensive because he has a tear on our lumber which 33% of all homes that are built in

the US use Canadian lumber so I'm not gonna take lessons off president Trump he's the last guy

you want to put paint on Canadians we'll leverage every bit of pain we possibly can on Americans

and you I feel bad for I bought we said I'd love the American people I still stand by that statement because there's a lot of people in the US that are calling me saying wait ago keep going you know your own people president Trump don't even like you and they're gonna speak loud and clear when it comes to the midterms and if I was allowed to I'd be down there door knocking and then he starts to roll out the plan that Canada can do as a united Canada that the pre-meers

can do together with prime minister carnies like we could put massive pain on the united states play this clip but we could put massive massive pain on the US the under president Trump

underestimates us and that's a biggest mistake underestimating your opponent he further lays out

“his plan right here I think we start off with a surcharge of it escalates we have to use every”

tool in our toolbox we're the only one that sends electricity down to the US it runs out does get back does bc does men and robot does just to name a few so we need to get the other all together and decide if we're gonna put surcharge or something electricity how can we let them take really inexpensive electricity to make goods to compete and take jobs from Canadians that you know you can't square that that circle so we'll use every tool in our toolbox

then we'll see if president Trump says do I need Canada watch how he does cartwheels and show some screenings when we put the surcharge on matter fact I can't wait I cannot wait let's be clear I don't like the guy simple and then again conservative right-wing pre-meer who I probably disagree with on a lot of stuff but when it comes to how he's fighting

“Donald Trump and when it comes to Canada standing strong together and being united right here”

you've got Ford on the right-wing in the premier level you've got eb you've got canoe and dp right on the left you've got prime minister carny center left liberal I mean you've got a united Canada play do that clip right the prime minister has my full support in this decision to walk away from a bad deal that would have hurt Canadian workers and undermined Canadian sovereignty and he has my full support to hit back terror for terror for dollar for dollar but let's be clear

this will not be easy to stand up for Canada to stand up against president Trump we have to withstand the economic pain that will come with this fight I want to bring in Charlie Angus the head of mightest Canada get his reaction to everything that's going on Charlie of course this weekend you have Donald Trump's trade war against Canada escalating last minute demands by the Trump regime while engaged in horrifically bad faith negotiations with

Canada carnage just said to the negotiators let's get back to Ottawa we can't deal with these people you know and we've learned what those series of additional demands are including Canada can't do trade deals with other countries unless they get the approval of the United States and then over the past 24 or 48 hours we've seen Trump regime officials J.D. Van's best at like winding like they're being mean to us and they like Canada better than us

and they're being so rude and that if we just hurt them more they're going to come back to

“the negotiating table and they're going to be and that's what's going to make them want to do”

a deal with us Charlie talked to us about what's going on well Ben the straight of your booze is now closed and it's going to be closed for a long time and this is going to really hurt because what we saw this past weekend they said nothing to do with trade negotiations Donald Trump's team puts surrender documents on the table and thought we would sign it I don't know who was advising them that they thought they'd get away with this but the idea that in order to

be able to access a market which we had access to based on a trade agreement that was signed with Donald Trump that we would have a limited tiny access to a market that we would give up our sovereignty over negotiations of treaties that we would give up the Canadian constitutional rights on provincial jurisdiction on language rights on diversity all these things that are fundamental

they seem to think we're defeated people well we've never been defeated in any battle

that I've ever heard of so in Canada right now there is a sense of unity that is beyond anything we've ever seen and people I know around the world have been watching us with the boycott and that I

but what I think on the bigger picture Ben is that what Donald Trump has sent to the world is a

clear message that America's word means nothing that they can't be trusted on anything that if you pick a fight with your number one trading partner and treat them as though they were defeated

“captive nation and think that you can get away with that the only thing I'm wondering is at what”

point is the rest of the political media economic class gonna speak up because Donald Trump has now picked the fight that I believe is going to do him in talk to us about the unity you're seeing amongst the premieres amongst the people around prime minister Carney I know you know we had heard from the premier of monotoba bob canoe even earlier last week he was worried when there was going

to be a deal that seemed to be you know not the greatest deal for a lot of Canadian companies

but was a compromise and he said look I get it we're team Canada where united and we'll we'll do it and we'll stand united but you know canoes like I see a very weak pathetic loser in Trump we see Iran beaten the crap out of him and you know he's a flawed person canoes put it nicely you can't do a deal with a bad person canoes said but he goes like I'll be united team Canada but then the Trump regime did what bad people do and perhaps Carney who's been in the highest

level of negotiations knew that that would happen no matter what and so rather than it be you know him who you know just just let Donald Trump be Donald Trump and Trump and let Nick and all of them did what we expected that they would do they engaged in heinous conduct at the

“very end and it provided Carney with the out I think Carney knew was my own views I think”

Carney knew that was going to happen eventually and then Carney said all right let's go and then he was able to deliver that speech to Canada that addressed all the different constituencies were even somebody like Danielle Smith of Alberta you know who still is somewhat both sides in this and we obviously know she's maple magga but it almost puts the Pierre pull the maple magga kind of cornered because it's like we we did everything we what more would you have

done who and sell out Canada and take away our sovereignty well I think what was really fascinating over the last week was that Canadians everybody was on edge because we didn't I don't think Canadians wanted a deal Canadians felt if we gave a deal if we gave up too much they would be back the next day demanding more but there is a sense well our prime minister is going to go into this

“and we are all going to hold the line and Bob Cano he's really he is captain Canada you know he”

reminds me the great Phil Esposito and then I we do everything in hockey I've been all metaphors in Canada hockey but Phil Esposito in 1972 against the Russians with Phil Esposito

rallied the team when you put Bob Cano on the ice he rallies the nation so he came out first

and he said this is not a good situation but I'm sticking with the captain here we are sticking together and so Canadians were watching those negotiations when the prime minister called our people home at midnight on Friday my phone started to go off the just started to just go crazy and what I was hearing from people is thank God that God we knew we were in a war we knew they were coming for us we knew that if we signed in good faith because the prime minister said

you'd go that extra mile but then the prime minister said you can't trust somebody who signs agreements in pencil so you know this isn't a trade dispute between the prime minister and Donald Trump this is not mega in Canada right now this is the word of the United States is not worth anything so from the moment that we came home you've been seeing this sense of yeah we're in this we're in this for the fight and so Donald Trump's now threatening extraordinary new terror of saying he's

going to do this and you know they're all shouting at us about what they're going to do to us and how much it's going to hurt us but what we're watching is we're watching the economic crisis unfolding in the United States the mass of debt levels the fact that on aluminum alone the Canadian aluminum industry is working at peak production and every American manufacturer is paying an extra $1,500 to $2,000 a ton because of what to punish us so we're not we're not shouting

what we're going to do prime minister Cardi said it's going to come down Labor Day my feeling is with these latest threats now he's going to destroy our auto sector Donald Trump hasn't realized what he's done it's going to make the prime minister target serious serious retribution they're going to target red states we're coming into the midterms you put a tax on an export tax on

state governors are going to be freaking out so I see potash I see electricity you know premium

“EBS talked about the key critical minerals that are essential to silicon valley Donald Trump”

has forced this fight you're seeing from our prime minister he's just carrying on Canadians are

hunkering down we are ready for this we are unified in a way we've never been before and I will

also say Ben the decision at the last second to pick a fight over French language rights in our country that's the political third rail in Canada we've survived for 250 some years by this delicate constitutional dance on language and Donald Trump decided to stick his finger in that socket well every Canadian that I know is doing a little bit of French today made to their Shayneu made to their Shayneu we are masters of our own house it's a great French slogan and every

Canadians using it so he's unified us in a way that nobody else could have so for that Donald we're going to drink some Canadian whiskey tonight then you've got the idiot treasury secretary

in the United States best into couldn't run his own five billion dollar fund when he was in the

private sector and ran it into the ground and he wants to make today the day of economic D day and so he shows up and gives this press conference and he says the world you're going to have to choose the United States or Iran and as I was watching that too I was reflecting I'm like do you also realize what a sign of weakness that even is that you now had to tell the world

“you need to make the choice is it going to be the U.S. or is it going to be Iran and you already”

have you know China's foreign ministry spokesperson put out a statement saying Iran Iran Iran you want us to say a letter we you know I mean they said it more diplomatically they said we don't support any of this economic coercion you know internationally and then Iran's parliament leader and begall of off put out a statement saying we've already heard from a lot of our own allies and no one takes the United States seriously but you know you need alliances

if you're going to go and do things you know whether it's actual kinetic or although I don't like the term can it it feels like it it reduces the war crimes that are being used you know and the horrible whether it's an actual war or whether it is a trade war or whatever you're doing geopolitically you need friends you need allies you need to move together and Trump's isolated himself and so it's just like the weakest that you know it's like what

do you even doing you know and it's like we're super serious when it comes to China this time we're going to be saying really you're going to pick that fight do okay you're going to fight everybody it's just it's you know like Trump was ranting and raving like a lunatic Charlie in the 70s and 80s and he was viewed as a loser lunatic all these magga people who are running the government are all loser lunatics whose magga arc were being outcasts because they were horrible

humans and they couldn't they didn't do things good so it's ironic that they call this operation outcast regarding Iran right now when they're all outcasts and they've like these losers have taken over the U.S. guy just a bunch of losers Charlie sucks well I mean

the but the problem is again you know when is the American political economic media machine going

to stand up I mean I heard someone on the news today talking well Prime Minister Carney blew us some steam on the weekend and now Donald Trump's blowing off steam that's BS this was a unilateral attack on a neighbor that has been a loyal ally forever and now this loyal neighbor and friend is going to fight back and is going to hurt you in a big way because we're in the fight for our lives

“that's what's at stake here the fact that they're using the term D day against Iran I think is”

also really offensive to Canadians because we were at D day and you know and at D day we were there with our allies and we were fighting fascists and you know Dwight D Eisenhower we respected him as the the global leader at the time not because he was an American but because he was a good general who understood how to work with people and how to work across really diverse lines so for us D day has a really sacred meaning so we see this is our D day Donald you're picking a fight

with the Canadians who landed at Juno Beach and got further on that first day than any of the allies why you were still trapped on the beach our American friends we were pushing into the Nazi line so we see this as an existential threat because it is an existential threat but right now this fight is unifying us where Donald Trump is creating chaos we are going to take hits we know that but I think what the American people need to consider is what happens when we come back and decide

percent on that what's that going to do to the cost of living what's it going to do to the cost of

“living when potash gets hit critical mineral starts shutting down silicon valley because”

you threaten our auto sector we got to come back we got to drop the gloves we've got to go for this and so the end of the day you're doing this Donald to the neighbor that was the most trustworthy that you could have had we would have had your back on anything and it really sends a message like who is this guy and who are his friends other than gangsters other than criminals other than sexual predators like abstine other than you know despots like Putin and the head of North Korea

Netanyahu you would choose them any day over Canada we'll go for Donald we'll see how this ends at the end of the day before we go you're message right now to the trump regime we know they watch this very very carefully Donald in Canada we know who you are you're scumb Donald you are

the scumb of the earth of you treat people like that and I think of Canada and the incredible

lands that we have here that we have to protect and I think of our communities that stick together our multicultural diverse identities and our language issues we are a nation built not on bluster we are nation that had to be forged through hard compromises I've been able to work together because you know there's no such thing as a marble man in Canada you don't survive as marble man here it's minus 45 you've got to go to your neighbor you've got to knock on their door

and you've got to trust that your neighbor will help you whether they agree with you or whether

“they don't that's what makes Canada who we are we've had to stick together we've had to work together”

and we love we love we love the diversity of this land and man we will do anything to protect it

and the other thing Donald you've never shown up for a fight you always had people go and die for

you well Canadian show up and we don't stop till the job's done so you think this is going to be the fight you're going to win you've already lost Donald you lost because you have no moral character you have no moral fiber and when you are down Donald and when you are finally in jail as the predator criminal that you are Canadians will be toasting us each other and celebrating with democratic allies around the world because your days are numbered Charlie Angus leader of
