Charlie Angus on Trump's Threats and Canada's Response

Canada sees what Donald Trump is doing in the Western Hemisphere, what Donald Trump is doing in the Middle East, Donald Trump's catastrophic and unlawful war and Iran, Donald Trump's threats to Cuba, Donald Trump's threats in the Western Hemisphere, the way that Donald Trump is currently mocking and attacking Canada while Canada suffers from horrible climate-related wildfires,

and how Trump and MAGA are using the wildfires as a pretext to attack Canada and try to take Canada's sovereignty to pursue Donald Trump's 50-first state conquest of Canada.

“This isn't high-probably international audiences may go all well, he's not going to do that. The people of Canada, Prime Minister Karni, are not taking chances, okay?”

They are building up their military defenses, they are building up their drone manufacturing, they are ensuring the Canadians are ensuring that they produce their military equipment in Canada,

that their alliances are increasingly focused on Europe and certain reliable countries in Asia and elsewhere and not the United States,

and Canada remains vigilant, and if you've been watching Prime Minister Karni's recent press conferences, or I should say his press conference really throughout the year,

“it has been about Canada ensuring that it has the military to defend itself from anything, to also build up the kind of Arctic strength and alliances as well,”

to defend in the Arctic and to defend at home, and the subtext or the not so subtle subtext in this, is that if the Trump regime attempts to do anything, Canada is ready, and Canada will be strong, and just stay glimps into how despicable this Trump regime is, just look at what's happened this week.

I mean, in addition to Donald Trump trying to further shake the Canadians down over a bridge project that was always agreed to,

I mean, just look at their response to the wildfires, right, climate-related wildfires, whereas Canada and Canadians would always come right to the defense of people in the United States and help put out the fires. I mean, recently, a Canadian man was identified as a helicopter pilot fighting the gold mountain fire, I mean, literally sacrificing their lives for people in the United States, Donald Trump has been threatening to raise tariffs over Canadian wildfire, smoke, Donald Trump posted a deranged social media message, we're holding Canada responsible for the fact that they're not properly maintaining the forest and brush there in, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous and totally unacceptable.

And we'll call the Prime Minister during the day to find out what they are going to do about it, the cost is incalculable. Canada has refused to engage in basic forest management and debris removal, knowing that such refusal will lead to exactly this result. This is willful negligence and becoming a yearly occurrence costing the United States billions of dollars, which the cost of pollution must of necessity be added to tariffs, Canada is currently paying. For your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump, by the way, everything that Donald Trump is saying there is absolutely false, but Donald Trump is using the wildfires as a pretext to basically attack Canadian sovereignty, which Donald Trump has been trying to do since day one.

And then the magasic offense like maga republican Tim Shehee says, as a former water bomber pilot who used to lead an aerial firefighting fleet, I can tell you, send help is an extremely dishonest framing by the Canadian government. I mean, just think about how sick of these magas are, send help, what a dishonest framing, a dishonest framing, Canada, which used to be and should have always been as close to the United States's policy. It's impossible. It's saying, hey, can you send help? What a dishonest framing. This is why these magas are just horrible and disgusting human beings.

“Send help. What a awful framing of the issue. How about you just do when neighbors have always done? Why don't you do what Canada does here for the United States?”

And then Donald Trump, the sickos, scumbag goes, Tim Shehee is great. Oh, winner, DJT, it's the cruelty, it's the evil. I've been reflecting more on this and by the way, I put this in the book WTF America preorder it right now because I look at this stuff and I go WTF and I think about how for some of the younger folks out there, this is all they've seen this nastiness, what terrible framing is that, send help.

When Canada stands up in the United States, all of a sudden, you know, sees our hospitality jobs are decreasing. The Canadians don't want to travel here.

“The Canadians don't want to be in the United States. They don't want to buy American booze. Then what happens? You've got all the Trump officials are like, that's so unfair. Why are they doing that? Why are they be ending like that?”

Trump regime, you're literally trying to torture the Canadian people and you're trying to invade and take over their land. That's why then you have people like Senator Bernie Moreno from Ohio. And he tells state regime media Fox. He goes, and now as a result of this, we will be sanctioning Canada. We will be holding their assets, making sure they don't have visas, and we will put tariffs on them. Just think about that. When I say, the Trump regime is talking about invasion, I mean think about what they're saying right here.

You're going to take away the visas of Canadian people because there's a climate-related wildfire in the Canadians help the Americans and you want to use a wildfire as a time to behave like absolute deranged terroristic maniacs Americans. And when I hear politicians like Carney and Ford say that we should help when they could have avoided this problem, it's disgusting. We're going to put sanctions on them. That means holding their assets, making sure they don't have visas. We're going to put tariffs as President Trump talked about it because we have to make certain that the people who are suffering get compensated. This is an abject avoidable disaster in the left.

So by the way, talks about climate change every single day, this is the worst environmental disaster you can ever imagine every car in America for a year. Pollution in three weeks dumped on the Midwest. And then you have our propaganda networks, state regime media, which calls itself Fox. You know, then they go out there and they're like, they're like, you know,

and he said, you never hear about the Canadian dream and then you know, just the American dream, once you get a taste of our freedom here, you don't want to go back.

“You know, if no one talks about the Canadian dream, I mean, again, what in the Silic show is this stupidest thing I've ever even heard, what are you talking about?”

People love living in Canada. What do you, what does it even mean here play this clip? There's a lot of people that talk about us, but once they get the experience freedom, they love them. And so it's just interesting that we have so many people and they didn't afford it to get here because they want this American dream. You never hear about the Canadian dream. You never hear about the UK dream.

You never hear about the Venezuela and dream. Yeah, the UK. That's right.

You never hear about the Venezuelan dream.

“Yeah, that's what the Canadian dream is.”

And of course, our earlier this week, Donald Trump was posting weird AI photos of himself. Our AI photos of the poster board of the Western Hemisphere with Canada having the American flag over at his Donald Trump talks about taking over Canada. And he creates the scene where he's speaking with NATO allies. It was a real meeting from last year, but the poster board was of Ukraine and Russia, not of Donald Trump showing NATO allies a poster of him conquering Canada. And this is where you have the winding to Jamison Greer on the Canadian U.S. Mexico agreement negotiations on the Kusima negotiations.

I mean, this Jamison Greer guy to he's the U.S. trade representatives. He's such a weasel. He's like, well, I think that we should, you know, Canada ranks to talk. I mean, who are these losers?

As I always say, for you in W tip, who is this guy?

Jamison Greer is such a freaking loser. Here play this clip. I'm in contact with my counterparts on a weekly basis. Over the past year, like with other countries, I've given lots of proposals to the Canadians on things that could be done immediately to put us in a better position. The Canadians are always willing to talk, right?

Like many countries that we're happy to talk. That's fine. I'm happy. You're always happy to talk. That's not a concession.

That's just what we do as a, you know, diplomat or, you know, economic negotiators. So to me, that's not really, it's not a concession, that's not movement, that's just describing what we do now, which is talk. So we had, we just haven't seen a lot of movement. They had, there are a couple things the Canadians have done. You know, they had a digital services tax.

They proposed the rollback. They had non-line streaming act where they wanted to force American companies to fund Canadian companies that they rolled back. I'm glad they did that, but they don't really get credit for doing something bad and undoing it, right? That's just, you know, good practice on their part. So you don't want to give an underover of how long it's going to take with the Canadians.

I don't know.

I mean, the reality is, if the, if the president, prime minister Cardi, you know, have an understanding,

I'm sure we can put together something that makes sense to get us over the hump.

“We're always going to trade some with Canada, right?”

I mean, they're, they're just because they're, they're there, right? The reality is the president's quite focused again getting the trade deficit down with Canada, which it is down by 25%. And he wants to, listen, it's less about being anti-init country and just more pro-America, and making sure we have as many of these supply chains here in the United States. Now, contrast that to prime minister Cardi and Cardi talks about, you know,

if for a stronger, safer world, we need a stronger Canada play this clip. If we are to assert our full sovereignty in the Arctic, and if we're to defend and promote our values, freedom, democracy, peace, we must do so from a position of strength. If we want a stronger world, if we want a safer world, we need a stronger Canada. And at this press conference that prime minister Cardi had, he talks about again,

new fleets being announced, being made 100% in Canada. I'll play this clip for you right here. And the new fleet order that we're announcing today will continue that legacy, serving our women and men in uniform at bases across the country. Every single one, every single one will be built right here at GDLS Canada's factory right here in London.

Our new partnership with GDLS Canada will create and sustain over 6,000 high-paying Canadian jobs every year over the next eight years. Now I want to bring on the leader of Midas Canada Charlie Angus to talk about this moment about how Canada has increased the size of its military. It's defense readiness, get back by the way. It's defense Canada's ready to defend itself. Canada doesn't want to go to war with the United States. But Canada sure is already to defend itself.

And if you know anything about Canadian history, when Canada has to fight fascists, they've been first. And Maple Midas knows what I'm talking about. Or let's bring in my interview with Charlie Angus former member of Parliament leader of Midas Canada. Let's bring in Angus. Now I want to bring in Charlie Angus leader of Midas Canada.

Charlie great to see it as always.

Now the Trump regime continues to use new tactics to try to implement their 51st state invasion of Canada. When something doesn't work, they use something else. I mean, even right now thinking about how the Trump regime is using these horrific and tragic fires in Canada as also a tool to try to sanction Canada and attack Canada. You're seeing Trump and maga plot that way. You know, also when it comes to the Gordy, how bridge also, you know, when it comes to secession also when it comes to, you know, again pulling out of the trade agreement.

I mean, it's, it's, it's a still a relentless barrage. And then Charlie, it is the Trump regime playing victim if Canada stands up for itself. Then you'll hear the Trump people, oh my god, can you believe it? They're doing this. So they're Canada's boycotting this. So they don't want to show up.

“I mean, it's, what, what do you make of this moment?”

Well, then I think this is the real issue here is to recognize that this is constant constant pressure where our sovereignty is always on the line.

You know, there's been a lot of talk here about with the fact that Donald Trump basically ripped up the agreement that had been in place. For over a dozen years to build that Gordy how a bridge saying that America had been ripped off when Canada put the money up. There was an agreement with Michigan. There was an agreement with both governments going back for years. This was all about intimidation and the day after they got the agreement to get the bridge open. Donald Trump has a meme of Canada with the American flag on it.

We have Elridge Colby, the guy who threatened the Pope warning us that, you know, if we try this middle power stuff, it's going to cost us. Well, I think the cost was, yeah, we'll shut down the bridge. We'll take you on. So now the, the fire catastrophe that's unfolding is in some ways it's ridiculous, but I think it's also very, very, very dangerous right now. We have, you know, these mega politicians basically threatening our sovereignty that they're going to come over the border if we don't fix the climate catastrophe.

“Well, great. That's how things have always been done. We've always crossed the border to help each other right now.”

We're mourning the loss of Nicholas Dale who died in Aspen, Colorado, a Canadian firefighter was over on the American side helping put out an American fire and died. Yeah, this is now going to be the latest tactic for threatening the sovereignty of our nation. And we've got to keep our eye on the ball and understand what they're up to all the time.

We'll show the flag, you know, show the American flag over Canada and Greenland, you know, it is relentless and I think that one of the things and you've studied authoritarian and, you know, Donald Trump in the same mold, you know, yes, it is psychotic and dangerous, but he doesn't stop, you know, he'll just come at you with a new tactic. I'll take you from there. You know, if you think about it, I mean on Thursday, he was ranting and raving about the 2020 election and it's easy to say, look, he's psychotic, he's an idiot, he's deranged, he's a lunatic, but when you study authoritarian's like you have your entire life, you know, you repeat the same thing over and over and over and over again.

“Sometimes the reaction from people is, all right, what do you want from me? Fine, just take this and then they keep on taking and taking and taking and taking. Speak to that moment of what you're seeing in Canada.”

Well, what really worries me, Ben, is I think because this is dragging on and on.

Certainly the average Canadian is not bending. This is why we're seeing the rage, Claudia Tenney, the Republican mega gal demanding that we do something to put the booze back on the shelf. No matter what they do, people are not going to drink it. So the boycott remains really strong, but we see, you know, Marco Rubio holding this form that anybody who's not a fascist if you're an anti-fascist, you're somehow tied with terrorism and the strong army that went on to have Western allies attend this and I'm, you know, very concerned Canada sent somebody.

“Because we just want to, you know, not always be fighting with them, but here's the thing, you know, you don't go along with fascism.”

What this anti-fascist summit is about criminalizing dissent in the United States. That's what it is. It's about using the power of the state against the American people to crush dissent in the midterms. To do this on the international scale and expect Canadian officials to attend to me is very worried, so it's, it goes back to the crocodile metaphor of Winston Churchill who said, you know, the collaborators, the person who figures if other people being eaten by the crocodile, he'll be eaten last.

This constant constant pressure, this constant demanding that we go along to survive, so that otherwise they're going to hit us harder. That's my concern right now. And I think this thing with the wildfires is a really concerning. It, at some levels, it's absolutely ridiculous. I mean, there's 45,000 wildfires out happening in the United States right now. Donald Trump has trashed the clean energy rigs, but you just need sometimes a symbol to get people angry. Certainly, we see how they're using this against us in the threat in our sovereignty over the fact that climate fire doesn't care what side of the border you're on. And we can't just think, well, we'll explain to them climate science because they don't believe climate science and they don't care about climate science.

Whether it's the NATO summit, I'll see on G7 wherever. I mean, we see Prime Minister Karney with his delegation inking deals. I mean, we're seeing, you know, the bombardier, a gripping, the bombardier sob, you know, the globalized that are being sold. And so, you know, there's a real emphasis. I mean, we've always known that when there have been major world wars.

And when it's fighting fascism, Canada's always not just stepped up, but really has been first to lead.

And it's important that, you know, people throughout the world recognize that because it's part of what makes Canada so incredible. But no one thinks about Canada or no one thought about Canada and modern times as, you know, okay, well, Canada's got to arm up and build up its military.

“But I think what we're seeing is while Trump is escalating the war and Iran and Trump has, you know, this genocidal war crime agenda in the Middle East.”

He then uses that to go around the western hemisphere to make these threats, whether it's in Cuba, whether it's with extortive measures working with the Bolsonaro's in Brazil, whether it is, you know, putting in his proxies in Colombia, et cetera, and you've been covering that a lot.

Talk to us about both of those things Charlie first, harming up military, and then the overall western hemisphere dynamic you're seeing.

Well, certainly it's been very impressive how Prime Minister Karneum, I mean, I disagree with many of the things happening on the home front, because I am very, very concerned about the total picture. On the, on the international stage, the role candidate is playing with NATO with our allies and this whole push to create a middle powers alternative.

It's about creating an alternative, so we're not being threatened constantly by the United States. And Donald Trump says he doesn't want to have anything to do with NATO, he doesn't want to have anything to do with Canada, so he's say fine, okay, we'll start negotiating with the Europeans.

“And then they say, hey, whoa, what do you do when you belong under our umbrella?”

And I think the Gordi how bridged the buckle was very much trying to teach us a lesson, because right after you had, again, Colby come out and say, this middle power stuff has got to stop. It's going to cost you if you pursue this, it's going to cost you in time, and it's going to cost you in money. And so what do they do, they block the Gordi how bridge, so they see the real threat from Prime Minister Carnies middle powers initiative. The issue for the Canadian people is to recognize and we've talked about this been many times they're coming for us because they can't have a standing up to them.

They're going to give us only so much runway before we end up in a confrontation moment, so is it the confrontation going to be over whether we send somebody to their anti-fat as terrorism conference or is it going to be because they demand that we stop the climate catastrophe that's unfolding even though. This can throw this in, the New York Times is reporting that the big fires in northwestern Ontario came over the border for Minnesota, but hey, that's okay, because people in northwestern Ontario and Minnesota are good friends and we'd help each other out.

“But what's it going to be for the next level of threat and we can't lose sight of the fact that as authoritarian they never ever ship, they don't become nice down the road.”

And you don't get to sit down with them and try and talk them down. I mean, that was always the mistake people thought with Hitler in the early 30s.

They didn't think he was that serious. They thought they could bedazzle them with their smarts. These guys are playing on a whole different level of menace and that's something we could never lose sight of. Charlie, we've been speaking with each other now for close to two years.

As we always end these interviews, I ask you, we know that, you know, we know that the Trump regime watches these interviews. I mean, they've they've reached out to you before.

“So what's your overall message to Trump and his regime right now?”

Well, Donald, you know, we're watching what's happening with Vladimir Putin and his war going down the tubes and you back to 100%. We know that the road is running out for Benjamin Netanyahu, one of your fellow monsters in terms of the massive damage he's done and the road is running out for you towards the midterms for whatever comes next.

You have never lost sight of your hatred of the Canadian people, but the thing the reason you hate us Donald is because we are democratic because we don't buckle in bend.

And because, you know what, we're basically decent people. We don't go and hang out on Epstein Island. We don't vote for sexual predators. We don't go along with the crooked oligarchs that you look up to and that you worship. So you are going to threaten us is it going to be on the Gordy how bridge is it going to be on the evacuations and fire zones that are happening. Hey, because you and your government and your oligarch friends thought the getting rid of all of the renewable strategies to lower emissions was going to somehow save you.

Save your ass and ain't going to happen, Donald. So we know what's coming. We know that the threat remains and the idea that we're ever going to buy your booze again. You should go to Kentucky and explain why you continue to fight with us and you should explain to the American people why you continue to betray them because it's coming for you Donald. Your days are running out and we will be there to dance when you go down. I mean, it's a really sick and twisted perspective on everything. I mean, their view is if we abuse people more, if we harm people more, they will want to do deals with us and you know, try to make sure that's their view on everything and just abuse people and then they'll then they'll fall in line.

Yeah, it's they're they're shocked it because the abuse is we're we're not kissing up to them and it's not going to happen. So we just got to keep holding our ground here and but pay attention to the level of crazy they're trying to stir against us. Everybody subscribe to the Midas Canada YouTube channel Charlie does at least one video pretty much every day on Midas Canada and that channel's rapidly grown is probably one of the biggest you know channels and podcasts out there in Canada right now and certainly being noticed there.
