By the way some of those bad men are the odd military officer around and the odd policemen around too. A definite clue to everyone that a bad man is getting braver all the time is when he is bragging about how prostitutes from his nation are the best.

I would prefer to not say "Sikh terrorists" but say "khalistanis" since 95% of Sikhs strongly oppose khalistanis.

Doesn't this mean that all khalistani activity inside Canada is by definition foreign interference?
In all of Canada, look to see who has a wrongful convictions over-turned ... there is only a few good lawyers. The rest are police state 'lawyers' that assist the Crown or the other party if the money is right.

Regarding the comments about the freedom convoy truckers not having the right to park their trucks on the streets of Ottawa: (1) they were directed to park their trucks there by the Ottawa police, and (2) they stayed there because Trudeau refused to have anyone listen to their grievances after referring to them by every insult he could think of. If he had treated them as the decent Canadians they were and listened to them, the trucks would have been gone by the end of the weekend, as they and the Ottawa police originally expected.
Agree, this channel is all disinformation, hamster wheel of distractions. Kamala is putting a carbon tax on fuel, Trump is not a creep nor a weirdo, im all about fiscal responsibility.
He says a lot about Trump @2:10. I'll even say most of them are fair and accurate policy statements, some are descriptive opinions which is also fair but obviously disputable, but the first thing he said seems to be just factually wrong. He says that Trump is, "someone who tried to overthrow the constitution of the United States." That is an extraordinary claim and requires extraordinary evidence. I presume he is either referring to Trump's claims that Democrats stole the election or Frum is claiming that (a) Trump intentionally wanted the riot on January, 2021, and (b) that somehow that riot was an attempt to "overthrow the constitution of the United States". There is no evidence of any components of these claims. Claiming that an election was stolen is not an attempt to overthrow anything, obviously. As has been shown countless times over, the Democrats made such claims and efforts to overturn many more elections and much more vigorously. In 2000 Al Gore took it to the SCOTUS. In 2004 they claimed Diebold machines were used to cheat and went to trial in Ohio. In 2016 they claimed it was stolen by Russian interference and that Trump had colluded with them, and even convinced 10 electors to flip their votes (the "Hamilton Electors") and many Democrats objected as VP Biden was counting elector votes in January 2017. Then in 2020 itself, Democrats ran a campaign of "stop the steal" claiming that Trump was trying to cheat, including July 2, 2020, Joe Biden said they had 600 lawyers to fight Trump if he came out ahead, on Aug 25, 2020, Hillary Clinton had the interview with a strategist shown on NBC where she claimed Trump was cheating and that Biden should never concede, don't give an inch, fight all the way to the end, and she was sure they'd succeed. Pelosi claim multiple times that the only way Trump would win was by cheating. And Biden's campaign manager said they wouldn't concede, just days before the election. The Jan 6 breaking into the Capitol was planned by a handful of extremists well in advance of that day and fully reported in the news, with Capitol police saying they'd be ready. They asked for reinforcements 6 times and were denied (under Pelosi's authority, we might add), and Trump offered National Guard for that day if needed. On Jan 6, he explicitly laid out exactly what he wanted people to do, to march peacefully and cheer on their Congressional Representatives and Senators on formally objecting to elector votes, and for VP Pence to not certify them. None of that is remotely unconstitutional, nor an attempt to "overthrow the Constitution", and even less than what Democrats had done in 2016 with the "Hamilton Electors". Now this is all available in video and was even all shown with evidence for it all at the impeachment trial they held after that to try to stop Trump from running again. It's easily all available. If David Frum has any evidence for what he is claiming, he should present it. Otherwise, it seems to me his political opinion on the matter is just based off of propaganda. I believe Frum is smarter than that, but tribal psychology typically overrules intelligence.

What are our Canadian values? Our common belief systems? What holds our country together as a population? Apparently, we cannot be considered post national because we are and have always been multi-cultural. Is this true? Our many contributions to the world have been under the Canadian banner which, since the World Wars, became more definable and visible. What I have seen since our present PM came into office is an undermining of our military (why?), our independence as citizens in many respects, our education systems, our judicial systems, our value of life re: abortion and MAID, the catch and release policies on crime which has overloaded our courts, frustrated policing, and increased repetitive crime and promoted (inadvertently) escalation in severity of crimes, safe consumption sites and "safe supply" (paid for by tax dollars) have come to be more dangerous than effective, and, add to that the topics you have discussed here... Perhaps we do need a defined national identity with common, agreed upon core values, beliefs compatible with a free (as opposed to dictatorial or any other version) society, less government intervention, less oppressive taxation, more promotion of the inherent dignity of the common man (meaning people) and our capability and capacity to innovate, create caring communities, and promote LIFE. If the powers that be want Canada to be part of a global community; why not ask us outright instead of manipulating and wrangling to the nth degree in such subversive manners? I think I know the answer to that question. I am a Canadian.
You had my comment removed because I pointed out Canada is part of the Genocide Elite of the world. "less oppressive taxation" please. I doubt we have anything in common.
@@wlf7184 For all of what I consider the best of America, I take that as a compliment. As a first generation Canadian, raised by hard-working, Bible believing, Dutch immigrant parents who lived lives of integrity, I have been blessed with a standard by which to measure what is good, and right, and true. I am very thankful. Canada and the US ought to uphold the best in each other, ought to stand shoulder to shoulder - strong, glorious, and free. We have a longer fuse (so they say) and our governing system is not the same, but we would make a great team under the auspices of mutual respect and core values.

Why do all of these American pundits, including convienient Canadian David Frum, have all of these book-filled backgrounds? My eyes would bleed if I read half of these props! Is it literary machismo?
Sometimes they do talk about the wrong points ad nauseum and CNN did ask a lot of people how they felt about the NAJB comments without going deep enough.
Did the situation involving Huaweii and the Two Michaels influence the PMs reticent in discussing Chinese interference? My other question pertains to Pierre Poilievre's refusal to gain security clearance - if I were Queen of the Free World I would be loathe to include a Poilievre government as much as I would a Trump government with respect to sharing Top Secret Security information of any kind! I think our world is much less safe in that regard and I can't see it getting better soon. Yikes!

At 19:30 =- I think David is wrong here. We where all watching the trucker protest. These people worked tirelessly through the Pandemic to be over regulated at the end of it. The whole thing was caused by the government no listening or talking to people on the street. I am sure the truckers all thought that they would be there for the week end. The PM's arrogant ego blocked the way. My Thoughts anyway. It is always interesting to Listen to David.
Instead of it being a politically motivated utilization of foreign interference, your case, David Frum could also apply to a country that didn't believe foreign interference could happen in Canada, because we were such a small entity who would bother? So NO ONE, including Harper, up until now had a really serious sense of our need for the counter intelligence operations you describe. And the landscape of change related to counterintelligence has shifted massively - under our very feet within the timeframe of the last 3 years of the Harper government through to now. Perhaps Canada's naivete has simply caught up to itself and Trudeau is handling it stupidly.
Harris is centre. In Canada she would be considered conservative because we already have socialized programs in place that will not be abandoned like old age security, health care, education……
Talk about conspiracy theories. Canada should bet the farm on becoming BFFs with the world's liberal free democracies: ---5 eyes ---NATO ---Japan ---India ---South Korea ---Philippines ---Mexico ---Brazil ---Argentina ---Chile ---Colombia
I have never voted conservative, and this particular leader I object to vehemently. I do however very much appreciate listening to David Frum. I take the opportunity to listen to him whenever I can. It is very important to me to try to understand the perspective of each party, but I just can’t listen to the current leader. Mr Frum is always very concise, and I always learn something new to investigate. Often, a few things. I hope he will continue to be available on podcasts and everywhere else, so that his thoughtful and important comments are available to those of us who would otherwise be far less informed. I am a Canadian in BC
Ditto. I think Frum appearing weekly on his mother’s former broadcast time slot, would be a much more effective opposition (thereby creating a more effective government) than anything happening in Parliament. The current opposition parties are just distractions to Canadians, and gnats with zero impact to the government. Almost no actual issues are discussed in a meaningful way, because journalists wrongly take their cues from, and parrot, the official opposition, whose only activity is propaganda, rather than policy and governance.
Do you mind me asking what exactly your issue is with the current conservative leader. Your description of your feelings towards him exactly replicates what I felt for Justin Trudeau since 2015.
@@marianam8643 I am not a Trudeau supporter. PP uses histrionics to divide and lacks substance. I have a loved one with a serious illness, and historically, conservatives campaign that they will improve healthcare and education, and every time they get in, the first cuts they make are to healthcare and education. I am not wealthy, nor is my loved one. We are hardworking, citizens and the only way the average Canadian can remain healthy and educated is through government that believes government needs to support people as much as they support big corporations.
@@catthorn2973 thank you for your reply. I have voted conservative for the last few elections, since 2015 to tell the truth. It makes no real difference really, I live in an NDP riding, and if not NDP then Bloc. I would probably have voted liberal but I could not abide Trudeau. It was not even the message itself, it was just that I did not have any faith in his competence, not then and not now.
We in The City of Ottawa endured the pointless insult of the Trucker Convoy for a long time. Although in terms of affecting change, the weekly Hamas/Hebolla/Pro-Palestinian protests on Parliment Hill and down Elgin Street past The War Memorial and The current Senate are equally pointless and annoying. None of the factions in the middle east will ever get along without violence. Get over it...
Agreed! Kamala seriously lacks intellect! LOOK at the damage she has done to America with Biden! She is not putting forward any policies to clean up the Damage done by herself and Biden. She is not capable of the job! The ‘joy’ isn’t enough!
This fool is an embarrassment to his accomplished mother and sister. To even contemplate voting for the low IQ empty suit, who is astonishingly ignorant, illustrates his idiocy.
Exactly, David and George Bush together lost their country $7 trillion and failed wars in the middle East. That same intellect could be brought to Canada!
As someone who is an expert in Foreign Policy and Counterintelligence, suffice it to say that David has lost an awful lot of my respect by pretending like Trudeau is the reason why no security clearance Pierre Poutine and Jordan 'Russia has a superior medical system and I really like their artwork and my grifty daughter is married to a Ruskie' Peterson aren't a threat to our NatSec with Twimpy delusional insurrection on the ballot stateside. Completely agree with him that we have a disastrous antisemitism problem.
David Frum, I appreciate your opinions, but I fear you don't see that the roots of what is manifesting as Trumpism in the USA is here, on the right, in Canada too. Smith & Moe, Pierre P., Jordon P....
Thoughtful commentary by Frum as always. That being said, the idea that foreign governments would be controlling through intimidation the votes of Canadian expatriates is not intuitive. Even authoritarian regimes have limited alertness and capacity to follow the minutiae of foreign countries' voting rules and the behaviour of Canadian citizens voting in their midst. The harm that would be caused by allowing controlled expatriates to vote certainly does not outweigh the benefit of empowering citizens who might still have a long-term stake in Canada. Also, it seems like cognitive dissonance to both play up the legitimacy of India's concerns with the Canadian Sikh community and to condemn India's lawless murders. Is it not intuitively obvious that an Indian government that feels such disrespect for international and Canadian law might also possess a crazed and over-intrusive sense of what constitutes a legitimate "threat" to the Indian state and its citizens? At the time of writing I have yet to see evidence of a systematic and recurring Sikh threat that the Canadian government could have taken tangible steps to undermine.

@@maxwoodbridge1264I worked in education from the late 70s to the late 90s. It starts at the trustee level. If you don't have trustees backing up the principal, these university biased arts majors start indoctrinating your children with revisionism. Choosing a non woke local trustee is equally important as your MP and MPP, in my experience....and to a certain extent local councillor.
@@malcolmhamilton5200absolutely correct.😊
The trucks were parked where the police told them to park
Sickening. It isn't the truckers fault they abused citizens of Ottawa with their horns day and night. Their needs and complaints were so gigantic anything short of murder was acceptable. So a few people were abused. Who cares. Did I get it right. I did.
@pennyyeomans4115 except I personally know people that live in that area. And the story they tell is completely different from the story the CBC and the Liberals tell. First of all, there were few, if any, horns honking at night. Clean streets and feed the homeless. Is that your definition of abuse?
They were actually peaceful, unlike the "mostly peaceful protesters" of the Burn, Loot, Murder crowd that I am sure you fully supported.
THE HORNS !
THE HORNS !
What suffering !
Oh , the HUMANITY !!!
@@pennyyeomans4115 Caveat emptor - building and buying a condo right where hundreds of noisy, loud obnoxious protests take place every year by Canadians exercising their Right to protest = Duh.
It's time for the disgruntled Liberal MPs to make a deal with the Conservatives & the Bloc, & end Trudeau's destruction this country. You disgruntled Liberal MPs will be forever held as heroes.
Some aspects of our country have become highly uncivilized.
We just have to look at what is happening in Britain , i fear for Canada. And there is no alternative I can see to replace the current regime
I am Canadian. The sky is not falling. Fear not.
"Regime" 😂😂 oh please.
The Conservative party have a better platform. Later, you will find out just how many socialist moves Trudeau was making in support of you having nothing….and supposedly being happy….WEF style.
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 is the presidential election date. that isn't 2 months from October 22.

What are our Canadian values? Our common belief systems? What holds our country together as a population? Apparently, we cannot be considered post national because we are and have always been multi-cultural. Is this true? Our many contributions to the world have been under the Canadian banner which, since the World Wars, became more definable and visible. What I have seen since our present PM came into office is an undermining of our military (why?), our independence as citizens in many respects, our education systems, our judicial systems, our value of life re: abortion and MAID, the catch and release policies on crime which has overloaded our courts, frustrated policing, and increased repetitive crime and promoted (inadvertently) escalation in severity of crimes, safe consumption sites and "safe supply" (paid for by tax dollars) have come to be more dangerous than effective, and, add to that the topics you have discussed here... Perhaps we do need a defined national identity with common, agreed upon core values, beliefs compatible with a free (as opposed to dictatorial or any other version) society, less government intervention, less oppressive taxation, more promotion of the inherent dignity of the common man (meaning people) and our capability and capacity to innovate, create caring communities, and promote LIFE.
If the powers that be want Canada to be part of a global community; why not ask us outright instead of manipulating and wrangling to the nth degree in such subversive manners? I think I know the answer to that question.
I am a Canadian.
You had my comment removed because I pointed out Canada is part of the Genocide Elite of the world. "less oppressive taxation" please. I doubt we have anything in common.
No, you're not. In your heart and soul and mind, you're an American.
@@wlf7184 For all of what I consider the best of America, I take that as a compliment. As a first generation Canadian, raised by hard-working, Bible believing, Dutch immigrant parents who lived lives of integrity, I have been blessed with a standard by which to measure what is good, and right, and true. I am very thankful. Canada and the US ought to uphold the best in each other, ought to stand shoulder to shoulder - strong, glorious, and free. We have a longer fuse (so they say) and our governing system is not the same, but we would make a great team under the auspices of mutual respect and core values.
@@ellenengbers990 Ever heard of BRICS. The mighty American Empire of which we are a part is collapsing. As a Canadian I couldn't be happier. Try to keep up buddy on the world news before you comment. I am also of European descent and I am not a first generation Canadian. We have been here longer than you.
@@pennyyeomans4115 We shall see...
Why do all of these American pundits, including convienient Canadian David Frum, have all of these book-filled backgrounds? My eyes would bleed if I read half of these props! Is it literary machismo?
You're assuming he's talking from home. He's not.
“Vote for Kamala cuz Orange Man bad 😭” This is the last guy I would take any political advice from.
He is just as evil as Hilary Clinton!
David - US citizens can live the majority of their lives and cast votes in US elections - without time limits…it’s not unique to Canada.
Who is controlling Justin? Is he influenced or entirely controlled by foreigners? Is he running the government against the interests of Canadians?
WEF😊
I like thugs and weirdos who keep us out of wars.
What's the relation between the two?
Sure thing Ivan.
We know you meant TWO WEEKS...., not two months til the election!...thanks for this!..👍
Love this channel. ❤❤❤
It is an exact match for Australia... clearly four or five eyes sharing is going on between the autocracies.
Sometimes they do talk about the wrong points ad nauseum and CNN did ask a lot of people how they felt about the NAJB comments without going deep enough.
Did the situation involving Huaweii and the Two Michaels influence the PMs reticent in discussing Chinese interference? My other question pertains to Pierre Poilievre's refusal to gain security clearance - if I were Queen of the Free World I would be loathe to include a Poilievre government as much as I would a Trump government with respect to sharing Top Secret Security information of any kind! I think our world is much less safe in that regard and I can't see it getting better soon. Yikes!
Indocanadian those seen suffered scared to come up because they have trudo jagmeet & many politicians & khalistanis member in higher rank many of worry for Canadian & Indian its. Same direction they know bulldog vote bank
Try English.
What about the pro genocide and anti genocide community.
At 19:30 =- I think David is wrong here. We where all watching the trucker protest. These people worked tirelessly through the Pandemic to be over regulated at the end of it. The whole thing was caused by the government no listening or talking to people on the street. I am sure the truckers all thought that they would be there for the week end. The PM's arrogant ego blocked the way.
My Thoughts anyway. It is always interesting to Listen to David.
30 seconds of David Frum was all I could stand! 🤨
Instead of it being a politically motivated utilization of foreign interference, your case, David Frum could also apply to a country that didn't believe foreign interference could happen in Canada, because we were such a small entity who would bother? So NO ONE, including Harper, up until now had a really serious sense of our need for the counter intelligence operations you describe. And the landscape of change related to counterintelligence has shifted massively - under our very feet within the timeframe of the last 3 years of the Harper government through to now. Perhaps Canada's naivete has simply caught up to itself and Trudeau is handling it stupidly.
Trudeau needs to go to Prison
Harris is centre. In Canada she would be considered conservative because we already have socialized programs in place that will not be abandoned like old age security, health care, education……
Centre? ..... open borders, DEI , big goverment......same as globalist Trudeau
The Hub is a prime example of foreign (i.e. American right-wing) interference.
Talk about conspiracy theories. Canada should bet the farm on becoming BFFs with the world's liberal free democracies:

I have never voted conservative, and this particular leader I object to vehemently. I do however very much appreciate listening to David Frum. I take the opportunity to listen to him whenever I can. It is very important to me to try to understand the perspective of each party, but I just can’t listen to the current leader. Mr Frum is always very concise, and I always learn something new to investigate. Often, a few things. I hope he will continue to be available on podcasts and everywhere else, so that his thoughtful and important comments are available to those of us who would otherwise be far less informed. I am a Canadian in BC
Ditto. I think Frum appearing weekly on his mother’s former broadcast time slot, would be a much more effective opposition (thereby creating a more effective government) than anything happening in Parliament. The current opposition parties are just distractions to Canadians, and gnats with zero impact to the government. Almost no actual issues are discussed in a meaningful way, because journalists wrongly take their cues from, and parrot, the official opposition, whose only activity is propaganda, rather than policy and governance.
Do you mind me asking what exactly your issue is with the current conservative leader. Your description of your feelings towards him exactly replicates what I felt for Justin Trudeau since 2015.
@@marianam8643 I am not a Trudeau supporter. PP uses histrionics to divide and lacks substance. I have a loved one with a serious illness, and historically, conservatives campaign that they will improve healthcare and education, and every time they get in, the first cuts they make are to healthcare and education. I am not wealthy, nor is my loved one. We are hardworking, citizens and the only way the average Canadian can remain healthy and educated is through government that believes government needs to support people as much as they support big corporations.
@@catthorn2973 thank you for your reply. I have voted conservative for the last few elections, since 2015 to tell the truth. It makes no real difference really, I live in an NDP riding, and if not NDP then Bloc. I would probably have voted liberal but I could not abide Trudeau. It was not even the message itself, it was just that I did not have any faith in his competence, not then and not now.

If you dont like Trump, stoop even lower and look at what you get
We in The City of Ottawa endured the pointless insult of the Trucker Convoy for a long time.
Although in terms of affecting change, the weekly Hamas/Hebolla/Pro-Palestinian protests on Parliment Hill and down Elgin Street past The War Memorial and The current Senate are equally pointless and annoying. None of the factions in the middle east will ever get along without violence. Get over it...
TDS much wow
FRRRUUUMM! Back under your rock...I don't care if it's a general...BACK! UNDER! YOUR! ROCK!
Seems like all sides including you says foreign interference is when my side is attacked and otherwise it's just politics.
You mean 2 weeks! (before the election)
Frum is a nonsensical goofball 😂
What?!
He has a bad case if TDS
Thank goodness someone has a sensible revulsion for Trump.
It's strange that TDS only effects intelligent people. 😊
It's a condition of intelligence. 😊
Agreed! Kamala seriously lacks intellect! LOOK at the damage she has done to America with Biden! She is not putting forward any policies to clean up the Damage done by herself and Biden. She is not capable of the job! The ‘joy’ isn’t enough!
And admires his reflection in the mirror.
Ew. David Frum.
This guy is more Marxist than conservative.
I am glad Mr. Frum is feeling better. The last time I heard him speaking was during the Trump presidency. He was not well.
If Trump elected is going to be not well again.
Five minutes of Frump's bullshit is enough for me.
😂😂😂😂 do not recommend this channel again too much Trump derangement syndrome
Two months?
David is a lier
Fact check: Frum wears a really small hat.
This fool is an embarrassment to his accomplished mother and sister. To even contemplate voting for the low IQ empty suit, who is astonishingly ignorant, illustrates his idiocy.
David Frum - fastest description on Trump ever. Many thanks.
Another case of TDS.
Yawn.
Cool podcast bro 😐

Oh, did he criticize your hero, patriot?

As someone who is an expert in Foreign Policy and Counterintelligence, suffice it to say that David has lost an awful lot of my respect by pretending like Trudeau is the reason why no security clearance Pierre Poutine and Jordan 'Russia has a superior medical system and I really like their artwork and my grifty daughter is married to a Ruskie' Peterson aren't a threat to our NatSec with Twimpy delusional insurrection on the ballot stateside.

David Frum, I appreciate your opinions,
but I fear you don't see that the roots of
what is manifesting as Trumpism in the USA is here, on the right, in Canada
too. Smith & Moe, Pierre P., Jordon P....
Thoughtful commentary by Frum as always. That being said, the idea that foreign governments would be controlling through intimidation the votes of Canadian expatriates is not intuitive. Even authoritarian regimes have limited alertness and capacity to follow the minutiae of foreign countries' voting rules and the behaviour of Canadian citizens voting in their midst. The harm that would be caused by allowing controlled expatriates to vote certainly does not outweigh the benefit of empowering citizens who might still have a long-term stake in Canada.
Also, it seems like cognitive dissonance to both play up the legitimacy of India's concerns with the Canadian Sikh community and to condemn India's lawless murders. Is it not intuitively obvious that an Indian government that feels such disrespect for international and Canadian law might also possess a crazed and over-intrusive sense of what constitutes a legitimate "threat" to the Indian state and its citizens? At the time of writing I have yet to see evidence of a systematic and recurring Sikh threat that the Canadian government could have taken tangible steps to undermine.
Interesting
