00:00:00

Canada is beyond furious at Donald Trump, his regime, and what he's turned the United States into. But Canada is now taking some concrete actions as well, and it involves Midas Touch, and I'm proud to share it with you. You all know Charlie Angus, the former member of Parliament, leader of the Resistance Tour. You've seen him here frequently in the Midas Touch Network. Well, he's now launching Midas Canada. Charlie Angus, Midas Canada, they're going to be touring different cities across Canada where you could actually see Charlie Angus speak. Let's bring in Charlie Angus. I, of course, want to talk about the launch of Midas Canada on Labor Day, but let's just start where we are as we approach Labor Day. You and I have now been talking since really right after the November election, and we've been seeing the evolution of Canada's response to the United States. Where are we right now heading into Labor Day, Charlie?

00:00:55

Well, our Prime Minister, Mark Carny, has been in Europe trying to We're starting to move in terms of building trade relations much more in Germany, France, European countries. So he's certainly doing the dance with Donald. He's constant, man. He's constant gong-show behavior. Our Prime Minister is a pretty classy guy. I think he believes that he can get a deal. I don't think ordinary Canadians believe that anymore. Ordinary Canadians are very determined to hold the line. The boycott is super strong. And we see these continual threats. We just had Donald Trump and Marco Rubio threaten a Canadian judge who's on the international criminal court with sanctions. That's a real slap in the face to international law. But that's what you get with gangsters. We saw you talked about the Canadian response to that mega senator from Maine who just slapped us in the face thinking we'd want to become part of the United States. And we've got Our mainstream media are talking about it, but Canadians understand that this is a constant threat that's happening with mega. We learned that, apparently, Trump's people met with some crackpot Alberta separatists and put a $500 million offer on the table that would help in the breakup of our country.

00:02:19

So Canadians are done with being nice. They're moving on. They're finished trying to hope for the best. They don't expect a great solution. What they expect is that we're going to have to stand on our own two feet, and we are going to stand on our own two feet.

00:02:35

Tell us about the issue regarding the threats to the Canadian judge, and what's going on there.

00:02:43

Well, this is the International Criminal Court, which Canada was one of the cofounders of the International Criminal Court. Canada was one of the founders of the Statute of Rome. We have to have international law to make sure that regimes respect international law. What we saw with Putin This invasion of Ukraine was a total repudiation of international law. Putin has been indicted as an international war criminal for the kidnapping of children. But we've seen that Benjamin Netanyahu has followed a similar pattern of really provocative actions that is making it more and more difficult for people to show any support. So the International Criminal Court's job is to investigate war crimes. They do it imparsionally. They've certainly indicted some of the mid East terrorist gangs and groups, fair, which should be done. But the fact that Trump has now threatened Canada and said that they will take whatever steps necessary, whatever steps necessary. I mean, it's gangster talk to threaten us over the fact that one of our judges is a respected international jurist. We cannot allow that thing to happen, because if we allow the breakdown of the international rule of law, if we believe that there's no value at all in standing up to war crimes, then all crimes become possible.

00:04:00

So this is a sense. I think Trump thinks he can threaten us, but he can't threaten a nation that is committed to international law as us. Right now, our Prime Minister is being, I think, surprisingly quiet on it, but there's no way Canada will back down. We cannot back down. This is our entire history since 1945, has been building the international consensus on human rights.

00:04:23

Charlie, I've seen the United States ambassador to Canada give a number of interviews. I saw one on a podcast, one on some Canadian channels as well. And he plays the victim, this Pete Hoekstra. He says, why would Canada be boycotting our products? Why did Canada take those steps to engage in the retaliatory tariffs? Why is Canada engaged in all of this name calling? He literally said that the name calling against us. We're committed to doing everything we can under Kuzma, the Canada United States, Mexico Agreement. And why are we under attack by Canada? Can you believe that that's the response? I mean, I'm sure you can because you know this hoaxer guy, and that's the playbook of fascists and sociopaths. When you punch them, they play the victim. But what do you make of that?

00:05:13

Well, it's ridiculous. I mean, again, Pete Hoekstra is a far-right menace. He's not an ambassador. When he was in the Netherlands, he was called out for using the American Embassy to host far-right fundraisers in contravention of international law. He's always trying to gaslight us as though Canada is somehow the one that attacked the United States, that somehow the United States is the victim here when they've threatened us to break our nation. Every time we agree to drop counter in an attempt to show good faith, they treat us as though we're weaklings and then come for more. And Hook straw is the face of mega in Canada, and it's not a very good face. And Canadians are pretty much fed up with that. But it's also I think there's a lot of pressure on our Prime Minister now to say, listen, being reasonable with these guys is not what you do. When gangsters come and tell you they're expecting protection money, paying that protection money is not going to get you protection. It's going to make you a mark, and you're always going to pay. When I talk to Canadians on the street, they're more than willing.

00:06:20

They're more than willing to take the hit. We see that 75 % of Canadians not only are boycotting American products in the stores, but they want the stores to take them off the shelves. So it has nothing to do with counterterms. Canadians are saying, We don't even want these products on the shelves. That's 75 % of Canadians. When Trump threatened us, he said that he was going to throw more tariffs on because we'd recognize Palestine because of the situation with Benjamin Netanyahu refusing to respect international law. And Trump said he was going to come back and hit us hard. We saw polling overnight that show that between 80 and 90 % of Canadians were not only willing to stand up to him, but were willing to take a financial hit. This is unprecedented. You don't see this social solidarity ever, where a nation is on the side of saying, yeah, if you want to hit us, you can hit us as hard as you want. If you want to make us feel pain, we'll feel pain, but we're going to be still standing because you are not going to push us around.

00:07:17

Charlie, we reported on the actions by the Trump regime in Greenland, where they were engaged in espionage and potentially funding separatists there. They were called out by Denmark's Greenland is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and their envoy was some. Talk to us about what happened in Canada, because I don't think that story is getting enough attention here, that one of the things that the Trump orbit is doing is funding the separatist group in Alberta and what the implications are. Then also, we learned that in Edmonton, they're banning books like Handmaid's Tale and engaging in that conduct as well. That's being fueled by this. It's Putin, it's Orbán, it's Trump, it's that whole gangster crew pushing this wave on, and you see it in Edmonton.

00:08:09

It's really concerning, and it's really important for the viewers to know. When I'm in Western Canada, I am meeting people who are absolutely rock solid, hard core Canadians. They're proud of their nation. Nobody is tougher going into the corners, as we say in the hockey terminology, than anyone from Alberta. But they've got a mega Premier. And as soon as Donald Trump threatened our nation, the day he threatened our nation, we saw the mega premier, Daniel Smith, head down to Mar-Lago, hang out with the mega influencers, total troll politics. She's been pushing Alberta separatism. Suddenly we have this grassroots Alberta separatist group. One of them is a former US Marine. I'm not kidding. If the guy who's saying he's going to represent an independent Alberta as a former Marine, come on, talk about astroke turfing these stooges onto the playing field. What concerns me is that, again, Canada is playing a careful game and not calling this out. Our mainstream media is giving lots of time to this mega crew. But we learn from independent journalists that there's been up towards a $500 million put on the table from the Trump administration. This needs to be investigated because this is treason.

00:09:25

$500 million put on the table to help some of these groups if If they tried to break up our country. The United States has ceased to be a neighbor. They cease to be an ally. They are now a threat to us. And we would be very, very, very naive to think that what's happening in Denmark and Greenland and undermining sovereignty there isn't happening here. It's happening here in a big way. This is the issues that I think we need to be calling out and speaking up and shining a light on to encourage people to resist it, but also know how they're trying to play us and divide us from one another.

00:10:00

Before getting into the launch of Midas Canada, which I think is directly related to what you just said there and why there's a need for it. But I haven't gotten your take yet on the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska, then the meeting that took place in the White House where Trump said that there was going to be a ceasefire or else there would be serious sanctions. Then Trump said that there was going to be NATO-like security guarantees, which never happened and Putin never agreed to, and trilateral or bilateral conversations with Putin never agreed to. And now we only see the attacks on Ukraine escalating, the genocide escalating by Putin following those meetings. What's your take on it?

00:10:39

It was really concerning to see these two gangsters meet in Alaska that Donald Trump invited a war criminal onto American soil, where they were going to carve up the land of the Ukrainian people. This is right out of Munich, 1938. This is Chamberlain and Hitler deciding the fate of the people of checklist of vacuum and the checklist of lax weren't even allowed at the table, where President Zelenskyy was not allowed to be part of the conversation. Then Trump started talking about security guarantees. Well, when people are talking about breaking your country up, their security guarantees me nothing. Then we had the Western allies were being said it was that we were part of a coalition of the willing. My God, our political memory is that short. The last coalition of the willing were the ones who got suckered into going into theadbacking George Bush into going into Iraq. Fortunately, back then, Canada refused to join that coalition of the willing. There is no coalition of the willing on Ukraine. There's either the rule of law or there's the rule of gangsters. I'm very, very concerned about the situation facing the Ukrainian people right now. Canada has been over there.

00:11:47

Mark Carny was over there on their Independence Day. We've committed, I think, another $2 billion of military aid to the people of Ukraine. We need to be standing up because Trump is the absolute patsy for Vladimir Putin. And this is not about peace. This is about trying to negotiate Putin's victory. If we allow Putin to do this, then we will see that the Baltic countries will be next. And I am very, very concerned that if gangsters can carve up a country like Ukraine, Trump will be considering to do the same thing in Canada. And I think that Canadians understand that.

00:12:23

I also think that's why Prime Minister Carny gave that speech, particularly in Latvia, that we covered with it celebrating its 34 years of independence. And that was a clear message being sent. So as we talk, though, about the Baltic States, as we talk about Europe, generally, as we talk about the rest of the world, that's always been a major focus of us here at the Midas Touch Network, international, because we've always seen the threat as an international fascist threat. You also have been speaking on an international tour. You always have spoken internationally, but recently, too, specifically about the threat being posed by America against an international world order. You were in Europe, you were in Mexico recently, and you and I had become great friends over time through doing this. We both had this vision of really what Midas is. As an international force and focusing on that aspect of it. And so talk to us about the launch of MITUS Canada, but internationally, where you want to see this go as well.

00:13:26

Well, we launch on Labor Day, Monday, a really important day for us with our Midas team in Canada, because Labor Day is about resistance. So we are really excited to launch the Midas Canada Network, and we're going to be talking about how we stand up to fascism, how we build resistance. It's going to be from here in the wilds of Northern Canada, but it is a conversation, and what you've been doing, and we're really interested in sharing this work, is to build this conversation globally, because if people can be kidnapped off the streets in the United States and judges can be arrested coming out of their courtrooms in the US, then the rule of law is not safe anywhere. And if the rule of law is not safe anywhere, then we're all under threat. We all got to find ways of working together, because this is how the far right got and the Steve Banning crew and Orban, getting Bolsonaro in Brazil, JD Vance undermining elections in Romania, supporting the far right in Germany, Elon Musk, supporting the fascists and supporting the race baiting that was going on in the UK. We can't give up the online space to these right wing haters and influencers.

00:14:37

So Midas Canada, we launch on Labor Day Monday. We're super excited. We are going to be doing the Midas Canada town halls. We launch our first town hall next Friday in the fishing village in North Rustico, Prince Edward Island. What better place to start the resistance from than a small fishing village on the East Coast? We're coming to various communities. The focus is to talk to ordinary everyday folks about how to build resistance, to celebrate the beauty of our land, but also to talk about the nature of the threat and not to sugarcoat it. People know how serious it is. And we're hoping that by having this Canadian conversation, that we're building this conversation globally, because I've been getting inundated with messages from around the world of people who are already starting to tune in in preparation for it. So we're really, really keen, Ben, to get Midas now to make this a global network.

00:15:29

So So everybody, after this video ends, go and subscribe to... You just search the Charlie Angus channel, right Charlie? And it's being branded Charlie Angus, Midas Canada. Subscribe there. You'll see all of the videos when you search and make sure you subscribe And already on that channel is already on its way to 100,000 subscribers, and we'd love for it to get a million subscribers, really by the end of this year. And I think we could even do it sooner. So thanks, Charlie, for... Oh, we have to end it how we always end these videos, which is If Trump's watching this, what would be your message to him right now? Because we know that his team watches. What would your message be, Charlie, if Trump's watching this?

00:16:08

Donald, we are fed up with what's happening. The world is watching the fact that you want your posters of the great leader on the walls, that you're threatening people in the streets who are unarmed civilians, that you want concentration camps. You want to troll people's online media, 55 million people with Visa cards or landed immigrant status so you can target them. This is the stuff of fascism. And now you're saying, oh, I don't want to be a dictator, but if you want me to be a dictator, I'll be a dictator. No, you're just a thug. You're not a real dictator. You are a thug. You are a malignant, self-centered, thin-skinned, narcissist. And people don't believe you. And the rest of the world doesn't believe you. So you can threaten and shout and holler as much as you want, but I can tell you that across this country in Canada, ordinary people, they will never bow down. They will never kiss your ring because they have something you don't have, Donald. They have backbone. They have pride, they have determination. And they believe that we are stronger together. They believe we are stronger through our diversity, stronger through our equity, stronger through our inclusion, stronger because we believe in the decency and goodness of people.

00:17:30

Whereas you, you're just a slug and you just believe in yourself. So you're going to keep threatening us, Donald? Yeah, well, whatever. We're ready. We will be still standing at the end of the day. And you, you're going to be not so well off when this is all said and done.

00:17:46
