🏛️ UNR-Finanzierungsstreit

Der Konservativenführer Pier PV hat in seiner Rede angekündigt, dass eine konservative Regierung die Finanzierung für UNRA, die UN-Agentur für palästinensische Hilfsleistungen, nie wieder einführen würde. Die Trudeau-Regierung hatte die Finanzierung 2016 trotz Warnungen wegen der Beziehungen zwischen UNRA und terroristischen Gruppen wie Hamas wiederhergestellt. Nun sind Berichte aufgetaucht, dass 12 UNRA-Mitarbeiter an den Terroranschlägen vom 7. Oktober beteiligt waren. Die USA und andere Länder haben die Finanzierung ausgesetzt, und die EU fordert eine Unabhängige Untersuchung. Die Aussage, dass UNRA und Hamas untrennbar verbunden sind, wird immer lauter, und die Diskussion über die Zukunft von UNRA in Gaza und im Westjordanland intensiviert sich.

05:01

🌱 Kämpfe gegen den Kohlendioxidsteuer

Pier PV hat seine Entschlossenheit bekräftigt, gegen die CO2-Steuer anzukämpfen, insbesondere für landwirtschaftliche Betriebe. Er will die restlichen Teile der Steuer abschaffen, was landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben Milliarden Einsparungen bringen würde. Die Trudeau-Regierung argumentiert, dass 97% der landwirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten von der Steuer befreit sind, aber die Konservativen betonen, dass die Steuer die Lebensmittelpreise in die Höhe treibt. Die Konservativen werfen der Regierung vor, die Wahrheit über die Auswirkungen der Steuer zu verschweigen, während die Liberals versuchen, die Steuer umzustrukturieren, anstatt sie abzuschaffen.

10:02

🏘️ Widerstand gegen die Wohnungsnot

Es gab einen signifikanten Rückgang des Wohnungsmarktes in einigen Gebieten, einschließlich einer fast 40%igen Abnahme in Quebec City und Montreal. Obwohl Pier PV die Bürgermeister von Saguenay und Trois-Rivières lobte, kritisierte er die Bürgermeister von Quebec City und Montreal für ihre mangelnde Fähigkeit, die Wohnungsprobleme zu lösen. Die Trudeau-Regierung versuchte, diese Kritik als Angriff auf die französischsprachigen Quebecker zu nutzen, was Brian Lilley als eine Form der ethnopolitischen Taktik der Regierung ansieht, um Unterstützung zu gewinnen.

15:02

🗳️ Trudeaus politische Herausforderungen

Trudeau wird immer noch wegen seines jahresweiten Urlaubs in Jamaika gefragt, der 84.000 Dollar kostete und von einem Freund finanziert wurde. Seine Antwort, dass viele kanadische Familien mit Freunden über Weihnachten geblieben sind, wird von Kritikern als unbefriedigend angesehen. Die Umfragen zeigen, dass die Kanadier Trudeau nicht mehr mögen und die Konservativen unter der Führung von Pier PV eine deutliche Führung in den Umfragen haben. Die Versuche der Trudeau-Regierung, PV mit Donald Trump zu verbinden, scheinen nicht zu funktionieren, da die Umfragen zeigen, dass die Mehrheit der Kanadier PV als besser geeignet hält, um eine mögliche weitere Präsidentschaft Trumps zu bewältigen.

🕍 Spiritualität und historische Stätten

Brian Lilley teilt seine Eindrücke von einem Besuch in Jerusalem, wo er historische Stätten wie die Westmauer und die Kirche des Heiligen Grabes besucht hat. Obwohl die Kirche im Renovierungszustand war, fand er die Erfahrung sehr berührend, sowohl als Christ und als Katholik, als auch für seine Kollegen, die nicht religiös waren. Diese historischen Orte, die in der Kirche des Heiligen Grabes unter einem Dach vereint sind, bieten eine spirituelle Erfahrung und eine Chance, die Geschichte, die man sein Leben lang gelesen hat, hautnah zu spüren.

play00:06

never reinstate funding for unra that's

play00:11

the UN agency that provides aid for

play00:13

play00:17

now now to chat about this in more

play00:19

detail is political reporter and Son

play00:21

columnist Brian Lily who joins us once

play00:22

again from Toronto Brian what prompted

play00:25

the change and the pause does it have

play00:27

something to do maybe with the those who

play00:28

were in involved in the October 7th

play00:31

attacks in

play00:32

Israel yeah look the Trudeau government

play00:35

was warn before they reinstated funding

play00:37

in 2016 the Harper government had gotten

play00:39

rid of it due to the you know absolutely

play00:42

well-documented

play00:44

multifaceted ties between the UN relief

play00:47

and works agency which is what H stands

play00:49

for and Hamas terrorists and other

play00:51

terrorist groups and so Harper

play00:54

government said we're not going to fund

play00:55

a group that has so many links to

play00:57

terrorism Trudeau came 2016 and even

play01:00

though he was warned by officials he was

play01:02

questioned about it by the media said oh

play01:03

no we have assurances this is never

play01:06

happening again so he reinstated funding

play01:08

and since then we've given them well

play01:11

over $200 million well over the weekend

play01:14

comes out the uh report that uh at least

play01:17

12 members of unra unra employees which

play01:21

means their United Nations employees

play01:23

took part in the terrorist attacks of

play01:25

October 7th The Wall Street Journal has

play01:27

a report out today on front page stating

play01:31

that

play01:32

12,000 unra employees or 10% of their

play01:35

Workforce are active members of Hamas

play01:38

and Canadian Helo newer who runs the

play01:41

group un watch has documented that there

play01:43

is an open telegram Channel where 3,000

play01:47

UNR teachers are participants in

play01:50

celebrating the killings the murders the

play01:52

rapes the attacks of October 7 so I mean

play01:55

this should have been well known but the

play01:57

Trudeau government has resisted call to

play02:00

even review funding up until the United

play02:02

States said they were putting it on

play02:04

pause um joined by other countries

play02:07

including Britain France uh Italy the

play02:10

European Union by the way has said we

play02:12

want our people to do an investigation

play02:16

we don't trust you to do your own

play02:18

investigation we want to appoint someone

play02:21

uh if that happens the rot within unra

play02:23

which I've been documenting for more

play02:25

than a decade how will be fully exposed

play02:28

I can tell you that when I was in Israel

play02:30

last week the two things that I heard

play02:32

over and over again is Hamas must be

play02:34

destroyed and dismantled and also that

play02:37

anra cannot be part of the future of

play02:40

Gaza or the West Bank going forward

play02:42

because the the people we spoke to

play02:44

Across the political Spectrum said unra

play02:47

is Hamas Hamas is unra there is no

play02:50

difference Brian it appears to still the

play02:52

main issue that Federal conservatives

play02:54

are dealing with right now in the House

play02:55

of Commons is affordability which is

play02:58

impacting millions of Canadians right

play02:59

now now what has Pier PF said about

play03:01

fighting back against the carbon

play03:04

tax yeah I mean affordability touches on

play03:06

so many different issues but one of the

play03:09

the areas that he said he will fight on

play03:11

is the carbon tax and he's going to

play03:12

renew his fight to get the remainder of

play03:15

the carbon tax taken off of farms and

play03:17

Farmers now the trudo Liberals say well

play03:20

you know 97% of what goes on on a farm

play03:23

isn't subject to the carbon tax but uh

play03:26

you know the proposal by the

play03:28

conservatives to take it off the

play03:29

remaining we're told would save Farmers

play03:32

a billion dollars over the LA next

play03:34

several

play03:35

years as paf keeps saying if you tax the

play03:37

farmer that grows the food and the

play03:39

trucker that transports the food then

play03:41

you tax everyone who eats the food and

play03:43

we know what's going on with food

play03:45

affordability in this country so he's

play03:47

renewing that the trudo Liberals have

play03:49

fought this tooth and nail uh they say

play03:52

it's not an issue well talk to any Dairy

play03:55

Farmer who has to you know Heat their

play03:58

barns you know you know they're not not

play03:59

heating them to 22° it's not room

play04:01

temperature in a Dairy Barn but there is

play04:04

some heating that goes on for dairy for

play04:06

poultry what have you especially in the

play04:08

very in the much colder parts of this

play04:11

country uh talk to grain Growers who

play04:13

have to dry their grain using natural

play04:15

gas and ask them if they pay the carbon

play04:17

tax the answer is absolutely they do so

play04:21

he is going to continue this fight I

play04:23

think the Liberals are going to try and

play04:25

uh continue to push back against it and

play04:28

according to some reports that were out

play04:30

earlier today the trud to liberals know

play04:32

that they've got a problem with the

play04:33

carbon tax so instead of getting rid of

play04:36

it instead of changing it they're going

play04:38

to try and Rebrand it because that's

play04:41

what it needs it it needs a better

play04:43

communication strategy Hal um you just

play04:45

need to feel better about the fact that

play04:47

everything in your life is costing more

play04:49

due to this tax needs a better PR team

play04:51

right now Brian housing affordability

play04:53

remains a hot button issue and it's one

play04:55

that the trau government tried to attack

play04:57

POV on last week what happened

play05:00

so new housing report came out showing

play05:03

that there was a big drop off in certain

play05:05

places including uh drop offs of nearly

play05:08

40% in both Quebec City and Montreal so

play05:12

despite the fact that Pier PV praised

play05:15

the mayors of Sagan in Northern Quebec

play05:18

of Three Rivers or TW Rivier along the

play05:21

the St Lawrence of Victoria Ville um you

play05:24

know South southeast of of Montreal

play05:27

despite praising all those he was

play05:29

critical of the mayors of Quebec City

play05:31

and Montreal saying they're incompetent

play05:33

they had these big housing drop offs the

play05:35

other Mayors were able to get housing

play05:36

going when the trudo Liberals turned

play05:38

around and tried to use that as uh an

play05:41

attack on Quebec that it wasn't that POV

play05:45

was being critical of them getting in

play05:47

the way of housing it's an attack on

play05:49

frankophone to it's an attack on all

play05:51

quebeckers he shows complete contempt

play05:53

for Quebec they are playing

play05:56

ethnopolitics we've talked before about

play05:58

how they keep they they went across um

play06:01

western Canada saying see they don't

play06:04

support Ukraine um you know this is an

play06:07

issue they're doing the same thing here

play06:09

they're playing ethno and language

play06:11

politics to try and drum up support

play06:14

because they're doing so badly in the

play06:15

polls they have to grasp at any paper

play06:18

straw they can find now Brian you say

play06:20

the prime minister is still being asked

play06:22

about his Jamaican vacation but he just

play06:24

smirks and repeats a line what line is

play06:27

that and will this maybe cause some

play06:28

problems with

play06:30

voters I think it will cause some

play06:32

problems with voters and David ketto the

play06:34

CEO of advocus data who is one of the

play06:37

more active pollsters later uh lately

play06:39

I'm waiting for more polling firms to

play06:41

come out with uh with numbers but Abacus

play06:43

has been active lately and as I told you

play06:46

recently you know back in mid December

play06:48

they had the the Gap closing down to

play06:50

just 10 points and then just after New

play06:54

Years it opened back up to a 17 point

play06:56

now it's 15 so you know it's still a

play06:59

huge lead no matter how you cut it and

play07:01

ketto said that he felt that the bad

play07:03

headlines around the PM's vacation were

play07:06

at least a contributing factor he didn't

play07:08

say that's everything but he said you

play07:09

know it's not helping him and I think

play07:11

that's right but when Trudeau's

play07:13

questioned about this and there are real

play07:15

questions about taking an

play07:17

$84,000 vacation from a friend and just

play07:20

saying oh don't worry about it it's it's

play07:22

a friend well when he's asked about it

play07:25

he says like a lot of Canadian families

play07:28

we stayed with friends over

play07:30

Christmas then he smiles and just moves

play07:32

on I'm sorry uh none of us have friends

play07:36

with a Jamaican estate that rents out

play07:38

for $7,000 US per night well maybe some

play07:42

of your viewers do but most of us most

play07:45

of us don't and and if we did and we

play07:48

were in a position of authority guess

play07:50

what we'd be questioned about it and we

play07:52

should be and as I've told you before

play07:54

how this is all due to Trudeau's own

play07:56

office and how they handled this they

play07:59

told us at the beginning the PM will pay

play08:01

for his own accommodation then just

play08:03

before he came back the PM stayed at no

play08:06

cost at a location owned by friends and

play08:09

then when people said okay well which is

play08:11

it these are two contradictory

play08:13

statements they said oh no he stayed

play08:16

with

play08:17

friends again which is it you you've

play08:20

told us three different stories and you

play08:22

won't clarify and when asked all you do

play08:24

is smirk and say we stayed with friends

play08:26

yeah like you're in the the bedroom in

play08:28

the back of the B

play08:29

that is kept for family staying over

play08:32

that's not the case now new poll Brian

play08:35

as you mentioned shows the Tories with

play08:36

about a 15-point lead over the Trudeau

play08:38

liberals but there's also talk right now

play08:41

the polls are revealing that Trudeau's

play08:43

attempt to link PF to Donald Trump is

play08:45

really not working what are the polls

play08:48

showing in that regard well as I said

play08:50

nationally so this is an advocus data

play08:52

poll the company I just mentioned um

play08:55

they questioned on both party support

play08:58

but also

play09:00

do you think Trump and PV are the same

play09:03

so on Party Support it's nationally it's

play09:05

a uh a 15-point lead 40% for the

play09:09

conservatives 25 for the Liberals 20 for

play09:11

the NDP the only place that the

play09:14

conservatives aren't leading by a

play09:15

significant margin is Quebec and Quebec

play09:17

they're in third so you know enough to

play09:20

hold on to their 10 seats so you know

play09:23

you could say oh well they were at 17

play09:25

now they're at 15 that's margin of error

play09:27

stuff that's you know we haven't seen a

play09:29

trend line that shows that this is

play09:31

working but as I've documented since

play09:34

late last year they keep trying to do

play09:36

this they want to campaign against

play09:38

Donald Trump in 2024 because he will be

play09:41

the Republican nominee he will not be

play09:44

super popular with Canadians some like

play09:46

them but not that many but here's a

play09:49

couple of data points from the poll when

play09:51

asked who would best handle a trump

play09:55

presidency a m uh 44% I was about to say

play09:58

a majority at was it was 44% said Pier

play10:01

PV 29% picked Trudeau so PV is you know

play10:07

picked by a significant margin now how

play10:09

do Canadians want the Canadian Prime

play10:12

Minister to handle Donald Trump if he's

play10:14

president again and they say stand up to

play10:17

him which you know given his

play10:19

protectionist measures on Canadian trade

play10:21

on trade with Canada absolutely that's

play10:23

what any Canadian leader whoever they

play10:25

are should do with any protectionist

play10:28

American president

play10:29

so you know people think well we need

play10:31

someone that can stand up to him who's

play10:33

the best to do that pure pev they don't

play10:35

think Justin Trudeau so that's telling

play10:38

then they were asked to you know on a

play10:40

scale of 1 to 10 how much do you like

play10:42

these leaders well Trump was a three out

play10:45

of 10 Trudeau was

play10:48

3.6 Biden was 4.9 and I believe POV was

play10:52

5.1 so PF is far more popular than than

play10:57

Trudeau is and Trudeau's closer to

play10:59

Donald Trump in popularity with

play11:01

Canadians than he is to

play11:03

PV so you this bizarre attempt to to try

play11:07

and flail around and Link him doesn't

play11:10

appear to be working about 40% of

play11:12

Canadians think there's some

play11:13

similarities about a third so 33% don't

play11:17

think there are and the rest say well I

play11:19

don't know so they've got their work cut

play11:22

out for them but you know the the the

play11:24

real issue for the Liberals is Canadians

play11:26

don't like Justin Trudeau anymore as

play11:28

happens with politician they've had

play11:30

their time with them they're done the

play11:33

public inquiry into foreign interference

play11:35

is opening and it's creating a fuss with

play11:37

more than just the conservative party

play11:39

questioning who is standing and who does

play11:41

not let's talk more about that yeah

play11:45

Coalition of human rights groups

play11:46

including those that represent Chinese

play11:48

Canadians and those who represent Wagers

play11:50

of course the the uh Turkish Muslim

play11:52

minority that's being persecuted by

play11:54

China um they say look we we're not

play11:59

comfortable with this um some of them

play12:01

are talking about withdrawing from the

play12:04

uh the inquiry at all the the head of

play12:07

the the weaker Association said they're

play12:10

very uncomfortable with the fact that

play12:12

Michael Chan uh former Ontario liberal

play12:15

cabinet minister who has you know

play12:17

there's long been claims of uh deep size

play12:21

between him and the government in

play12:23

Beijing Hong who was the liberal MP had

play12:26

to leave the caucus over allegations

play12:28

that he received help from the uh

play12:31

Chinese Consulate to win his nomination

play12:34

if not the uh the election uh he's been

play12:37

given standing which means that he they

play12:38

can both cross-examine these groups and

play12:41

and also uh Senator uh uh Senator Pooh

play12:45

who like they're saying like this guy is

play12:49

they view him as a an agent or a

play12:51

mouthpiece of China and and and for that

play12:54

reason they say we don't feel

play12:55

comfortable being cross-examined by him

play12:58

and these other meanwhile you know the

play13:00

conservatives have not been given

play13:02

standing they don't get to cross-examine

play13:03

Witnesses they don't get to see all of

play13:05

the evidence and the judge in this case

play13:08

um Justice hog has said to warn the

play13:11

conservatives if you complain too much

play13:13

I'll take away what little standing you

play13:15

do have before the the commission

play13:18

so it's not off to a good start it looks

play13:21

like it's politics from the beginning

play13:24

and you know she she said at the opening

play13:27

you know I'm here to uncover the truth

play13:28

truth well are you uncovering the whole

play13:30

truth or part of the truth and leaving

play13:33

other doors unopened that's my big worry

play13:36

but we'll have to wait and see and and

play13:38

hold our own judgment until then you may

play13:41

surprise us but we'll see Ryan the last

play13:44

time we chatted you were in Israel not

play13:46

only did you have a chance to see the

play13:48

kabut where Hamas attacked on October

play13:50

the 7th but you also stopped by a few

play13:52

religious sites including where Jesus

play13:54

was crucified what was that like for you

play13:58

it it was amazing how um we uh we got to

play14:02

tour Jerusalem for a few hours on our

play14:05

final day there in between briefings

play14:07

with politicians including the um

play14:10

Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on

play14:12

how they were handling the um the South

play14:14

Africa genocide appeal before the

play14:16

international court so in the middle of

play14:18

all that it's like okay you've got some

play14:20

time we went to a couple of places the

play14:22

Western Wall uh where of course uh

play14:25

that's the the retaining wall for the

play14:27

second temple was able to go up and and

play14:30

and pray there that was an incredibly

play14:32

moving experience was able to go and

play14:34

pray at the Church of the Holy selr that

play14:37

current building I believe it's from the

play14:38

13th century it replaced a building from

play14:41

the 3 Century this is the location where

play14:45

they've long believed because followers

play14:48

of Christ have been praying there since

play14:50

shortly after he was crucified and

play14:52

buried this is the site of the

play14:54

crucifixion this is golgatha and in fact

play14:57

there's a spot upstairs where you can

play14:59

see the Bedrock that was golgatha where

play15:01

they would Mount the crosses and you can

play15:03

reach through and touch the stone that

play15:06

was incredibly moving you can go into it

play15:09

the tomb and and and pray at the the the

play15:13

tomb all of these things um you know

play15:17

much if the church was under renovation

play15:20

and reconstruction it's old uh I'll be

play15:23

honest it's it's not all that fancy but

play15:25

it's from the 13th century and it sees a

play15:27

lot of wear and terar over the years but

play15:29

it was an incredibly moving experience

play15:32

um for me as a Christian and as a

play15:34

Catholic to to be there but I'll tell

play15:37

you I was there with with people who

play15:38

were not religious as well and they

play15:41

found it incredibly moving one was a he

play15:43

described himself as a lapsed Anglin not

play15:45

really believing found it incredibly

play15:47

moving um another one of my colleagues

play15:49

who was there was raised in a seek

play15:51

household but not religious and just

play15:54

kept talking about how incredibly moving

play15:57

this experience was so um you know after

play16:02

all the horrible things that I saw and

play16:04

experience it was a bit of a cleansing

play16:06

moment a bit of a a renewal of of the

play16:10

spirit to be able to go in a and see

play16:13

these things that you've read about your

play16:15

whole life but you know for me anyways

play16:17

I'd never been so I'd never seen and

play16:19

didn't realize that all these sites were

play16:21

you know incapsulated in a church that

play16:23

was built around them um called The

play16:26

Church of the Holy seler and all the you

play16:28

know many different Christian

play16:30

denominations act as Guardians in

play16:32

concert together they sometimes fight

play16:34

the different denominations over who's

play16:36

in charge of what but it was quite the

play16:39

experience and I'd recommend it to any

play16:41

of your viewers if you're in Jerusalem

play16:43

to go see these sites yeah it's on my

play16:45

bucket list as well crucified buried in

play16:48

the Tomb but rose again political

play16:50

reporter and Son columnist Brian Lily

play16:52

play16:53
