Canada is furious at Donald Trump in his despicable regime and they are
preparing for a possible war with the United States. That's right. Canada is not going to allow for any weakness. They are preparing for a possible United States invasion under the Trump regime and you may say, well, that sounds outlandish, but nothing is outlandish when it comes to Donald Trump. And just think about the past four days. Donald Trump continued to say that Prime Minister Karnie should be a governor and Donald Trump continued the 51st state rhetoric. So let me talk about the tangible steps that Prime Minister Karnie on behalf of Canada is taking to prepare for a possible United States invasion and to also project strength and protect Canadian sovereignty. So Canada is expanding its military presence in the Arctic. How big is this initiative? Tens of billions of dollars somewhere between 25 and 40 billion dollars is now going to be
invested by Canada in its northern regions in order to develop very complex defense systems there and to invest in complex defense systems within Canada as well. Prime Minister Karnie was speaking in one of the Canadian territories, Yellowknife, where he rolled out this 25 to 40 billion dollar plan to improve the defense of Canada. Also, one of the things that we've seen Canada do as well is bolster its sovereignty when it comes to satellites. It's push to space. Big deal here because Canada realizes, look, they can't be dependent on Elon Musk's satellites. And so Canada really needs to diversify here. So Canada will be launching hundreds of satellites as
part of a national defense agenda. The New York Times writes, since Donald Trump's trade war began last year and since Donald Trump's threats of, he's threatened to invade Canada. I'm not trying to be hyperbolic here, but Donald Trump is someone who's basically created a war involving the entire world right now. He unlawfully invaded Iran. Now the entire Middle East is engulfed in a war. Donald Trump has essentially stolen away that and patriot systems that he gave to South Korea. You have Kim Jong-un in North Korea launching a massive missile test the other day. You have Donald Trump attacking Zelensky while lifting sanctions from Russia to allow Russia to flood the market with previously sanctioned oil enriching Russia to the tune of tens of billions of dollars while Russia is helping Iran kill American soldiers and target American interests in the Middle East.
And so this is who Donald Trump is malicious, reckless, idiotic and Canada knows it needs to prepare for this. And in terms of just the United States further attacking Canada over the past few days, I mean Donald Trump announced with this war going on in Iran and the rest of the world. Donald Trump announced that he's expanding trade investigations into Canada. So you know, Donald Trump's trade war against the world based on IEPA was deemed to be unconstitutional and unlawful by the Supreme Court. So then Donald Trump invoked the trade act of 1974 section 122, which is also unlawful for Donald Trump to do, but that's what he did after the Supreme Court ruled against him. But you see section 122 has a limitation in terms of its time. It's like 150 days or so. And so Donald Trump has also invoked section 301 of the Trade Act, which requires like
findings of misconduct if you launch investigations into countries. And again, Donald Trump's completely abusing section 122 and section 301. But he's basically accusing Canada of engaging in all of these trade-related crimes and misconduct so that Donald Trump can take serious retaliatory action against Canada. Remember last week, I had the leader of Midas Canada, Charlie Angus, on the program. And he's talked about how Canadians truly believe and rightfully so that it would not be a surprise if Donald Trump soon decides to invade Canada. I know that concept sounds come on. Ben, that's never going to happen. Speak to the Canadians who watch this program. And most of Canada right now is, it was following the Midas Touch Network where the biggest podcast in Canada. If you speak to Canadians, they rightfully fear and feel that Donald Trump could potentially invade a cohort of Trump and Putin. Canada needs to prepare and protect itself. So let me show you also what Prime
Minister Karnie has been saying and doing just over the past 48 hours. He's been very busy lately. And this follows his return from a trip overseas to Australia and elsewhere, firming up the relationships there. And I previously talked about how brilliantly Prime Minister Karnie is serving as basically this broker between trans-specific partnerships and trans-allet partnerships, forging these bonds between Europe and Asia. As Donald Trump betrays everyone and Prime Minister Karnie, one of the most prominent knowledgeable, well-liked central bankers, right? He led the Bank of Canada, led the Bank of England through massive financial crises, is the perfect person to be dealing with probably one of the biggest global economic crises and political crises and geopolitical crises ever in the history of mankind. And he's really asserted himself as one of the leaders, if not the leader of the free world now. That's not
any of that's not the United States at all. So Prime Minister Karnie was first in Yellowknife, one of the northern territories of Canada. By the way, shout out to all the Indigenous communities there. Watch the Midas Touch Network. We hear from you a lot. And all the Indigenous communities throughout Canada, we really appreciate your support. We stand in solidarity with you as always, and we see you, we hear you, and we do our best here to fight for you. I want to make that very clear as well. Here's Prime Minister Karnie at Yellowknife talking about bolstering defense capabilities of Canada to become not reliant on the United States, to prepare and protect for anything, including a potential invasion by Donald Trump here. Play this clip. And today, we are announcing a series of transformative initiatives that will help unlock the full potential of this vast region. We're moving forward with an ambitious new plan, backed by more than 40 billion dollars of investments in Canada's north and Arctic.
Investments to defend our sovereignty and to deter new threats. Investments to connect, build, and transform northern and Arctic communities. With this plan, we are taking control of our future. We will no longer rely on others to defend our Arctic security or to fuel our economy. We're taking full responsibility for defending our sovereignty. And we are unleashing a range of new economic opportunities for the over 140,000 northerners who will benefit from stronger, more connected communities, more opportunities, and a higher standard of living. So then within the same 48-hour period after being in Yellowknife, Prime Minister Karni was in Norway, where he was with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Storr,
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and they held a news conference regarding bolstering their security relationships with each other. And of course, we know about Canada's, the numbers have been floated, whether it's 20 or 40 billion dollars of investments to protect Canadians in their defense and also building jobs in Canada right now. As Donald Trump is out there, just making the wreck of the entire global economy. So here was Prime Minister Karni in Norway, standing next to Prime Minister Storr and German Chancellor Merz. Let's play this first clip. We are, as Canada, are taking control and responsibility for defensive our Arctic, more control and responsibility for defensive our Arctic. We will do that by very large investments, some of which we announced yesterday. And we will do that in partnership with our closest allies,
very much including Norway and Germany. And then if I may broaden Norway to include the Nordic countries and the Baltic countries to some degree, because there's an integration of the Nordic Baltic Gate through NATO. So we're broadening out those partnerships. That makes us stronger as does taking more of the responsibility ourselves. Then the three of them were asked about Greenland and Donald Trump's threats to invade Greenland. Here's what they all said about that. And you'll see, they're not mincing words here. They're not you know, oh, Donald being Donald. No, they're like, we take this seriously. It's unacceptable. Here, play this clip. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. And it's up to the people in Greenland and in the King in Denmark to trace the future for the people or in Greenland. And any attempt to say that a country can take land from another country is unacceptable. It's not
acceptable to international law and especially something which should be unheard of among allies. And I will just fully associate myself with that. I've said it in the past. And I just add this because it goes to what's happening here is that we're fully prepared individually and collectively to defend the Arctic and the high north. What this operation is about, this training exercise, is to further build those capabilities against Russia against any external threat. And of course, that very much includes Denmark as one of the 14 countries that's participating. It's also the case with Arctic century within NATO and other frameworks. So we will deal with the security threats as partners, not as individuals. Thank you. Okay. And then I think one of the most powerful moments of this press conference between Germany's leader, Canada's leader, and Norway's leaders, when they talk about Ukraine and how it's so obvious that Russia is helping Iran. Russia's
saying it out loud that they're helping Iran kill Americans, target US interests, and Iran and the Middle East is just becoming essentially another stage of Russians invade Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As I said, you have a world at war right now at multiple fronts. And you know, Donald Trump is continuing to attack Zelensky. He removed the oil sanctions on Russia, allowing Russia to make billions of dollars, which it take as its economy was getting crushed. And all of the G7 did not support Donald Trump doing that. The six of the seven said we're do not lift the sanctions against Russia. Then Donald Trump on his own lifted the sanctions against Russia. And all of the G7 was like, dude, you just betrayed Ukraine and you betrayed us all. What the hell are you doing? But then also Russia's helping Iran, which is resulting in
significant harm to the US and helping Iran outmaneuver the United States in the war. So this is like horrible for us. And it's horrible for the United States. What in the world are you doing, Donald? You don't understand that the alliance is Russia and China and North Korea and Iran. You don't see that. Even when you're on out, your former allies are trying to tell you in the G7, like what's going on. I mean, it's so utterly pathetic. So here are these three leaders of Canada, Norway, and Germany. They address Ukraine, the need to keep sanctions on Russia, and the need to continue to support Ukraine. Watch this. Let's play it. But we are entering the fifth year of a full scale aggression from Russia against Ukraine. And Ukraine has had to live with events beyond Ukraine taking attention away from this completely unacceptable situation they are in. So the first thing is that when there is dramatic things happening elsewhere, there is less attention on keeping pressure
on Russia, supporting Ukraine's defence. The three countries standing here are consistent in supporting Ukraine, even if the focus may be somewhere else. In fact, we have from Norway and Germany, I think will be the major providers of support and also from Canada to Ukraine's ongoing efforts. And it's our view, and I speak for Norway now, and I think we share that view, that there needs to be more pressure on Russia to stop this unacceptable war. And from my perspective, I think that there should be no pressure on the energy side taking off Russia. It needs to be consistent, and it needs to be felt from the Russian side so that they will come to the negotiation table, accept a ceasefire, and accept a just and durable peace. Well, I fully agree with what Prime Minister Stuart just said. As you all know, we had a video conference with the G7 leaders on one state,
and 6 out of 7 were clearly the opinion that we should not release the sanctions against Russia. And we were a little bit surprised that we heard this morning that the American government decided differently. This is definitely not our view. We are sharing the 6 out of 7 that this should be not the case, because Russia is benefiting from that. And we are seeing this into the right different direction. We should put more pressure on Russia to bring this terrible war to an end as soon as possible. And that's the reason why we are having a different view on this decision, which was obviously taken in DC last night. I'll just reinforce that. I entirely agree. Canada's position is to maintain sanctions on Russia, maintain sanctions, including on the shadow fleet, which is moving this oil.
You know, there has been very tight cooperation between Russia and Iran at great cost to the people of Ukraine and a great threat to peace and security in Europe. And this group under the leadership of the two gentlemen to my right, and a broader coalition, coalition of the willing, has stood up to that, stood up to that in providing the framework for security guarantees, stood up to that in terms of providing support and training and material to Ukraine. All of us have contributed considerably to the defense of Ukraine, stood up to it in terms of sanctions, which we stand by, and will continue to do so. There you have it, folks.
