00:00Tonight on 22 Minutes, Chrystia Freeland takes a job in Ukraine,
00:04Nahed Nenshi shows us his Edmonton, we get our picture taken at the border,
00:08and we fight off a mean man cold. 22 Minutes starts now!
00:30Welcome to the show!
00:32We're only 13 days into the new year, and President Trump has already made dry January impossible.
00:39A week after man-napping the president of Venezuela, the Trump administration has its sights set on Greenland.
00:46Homeland Security advisor and daytime night terror Stephen Miller explained why.
00:51We live in a world, in the real world, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force,
00:59that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world that have existed since the beginning of time.
01:05Okay? Even Darth Vader would see that and say, walk it back a little dude, come on.
01:13The administration says they aren't ruling out the use of military force in Greenland
01:17just as soon as they're done using it on their own people. Canada's sovereignty is also under threat,
01:23so surely our Prime Minister came out guns a-blazin' in support of Greenland, right?
01:28We stand with, uh, Denmark, we stand with Greenland, uh, we're, you know, our closest partnership is with
01:34the United States, and we'll work with everybody to make sure that, uh, uh, we move forward together.
01:39You heard our courageous leader! We stand with everyone!
01:46We did make one strong show of support, opening up the first Canadian consulate in Greenland,
01:50so don't worry, Greenlanders, if you need our help, we'll be there Monday through Thursday,
01:5410 to 4, not including lunch.
01:58What's troubling the whole world right now is it seems there's nothing stopping Trump.
02:03Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage?
02:07Is there anything that could stop you if you wanted to?
02:09Yeah, there's one thing, my own morality, my own mind.
02:14Oh, so, actually nothing. Let's check and see how that mind's doing.
02:21I want to really, yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I can't believe they made us get out of our car.
02:36I know, I hope they don't search our phones.
02:38New policy, we're taking a photo of anyone going through a land border. Come with me please.
02:42This feels intrusive.
02:43Yeah, this is a direct violation of our rights to be photo ready.
02:46This is, like, oppressive.
02:47You're talking about the lighting, right? Like, you can see all my pores.
02:50No, the system.
02:51Right. Like, where are the dressing rooms? Where are the mirrors?
02:53Look up here, please.
02:54Excuse me, do you have, like, a glam team?
02:57No.
02:57Okay, um, do you have a stylist? At least preferably a black stylist,
03:01but in a pinch, I will take a white gay.
03:02Our white gay is on lunch.
03:04This is an outrage. Who's even gonna take this photo? You?
03:07I'm not bad.
03:08You're an amateur. Do you even have, like, a portfolio or something?
03:11I took a night class. I know my rule of thirds.
03:13Just let him take the picture.
03:15Fine.
03:17Can I see it?
03:19Yeah. Not bad, huh?
03:21Why do you hate me?
03:23I don't. Get back up there. I can do this. I can do this.
03:25That's it. Yes. I love it. I love it.
03:40Are you living for this?
03:42I am living!
03:47Huh? Look at these. Look at these!
03:49Oh my god, these are beautiful. You've really, like, captured my spirit.
03:53I know. We have to work together again.
03:55Absolutely. So I can go through?
03:57America is going to love you.
04:00Next!
04:05Denied.
04:06What? Why?
04:07It's just not giving.
04:08It's giving. I can give. I can give.
04:13Get on the floor!
04:14I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
04:16Oh, that's hot.
04:16Can you miss that?
04:20Former all-purpose minister Christia Freeland resigned from parliament this week after accepting
04:25an economic advisor role in Ukraine. So we here at 22 say so long, Christia Freeland.
04:31Who knows? In another life, at another time, in a different country, on another planet,
04:35you could have almost been prime minister.
04:40Thank you for coming in, Christia Freeland.
04:42Thank you for having me. A lot of people are mad I'm here.
04:44Yes. I'm looking to fill economic advisor position for Ukraine.
04:49Canada's economy is good, yes?
04:50Um, yeah.
04:53By, like, Ukraine standards?
04:54Yes.
04:54Then yes.
04:55Excellent. That is very good.
04:57First question. Where do you see yourself in five minutes?
05:01In Ukraine, we do not make long-term gold. Every day is gift.
05:05Oh, well, I'm just, you know, looking for a complete change,
05:08because I've basically done every job in government.
05:10You know, except for the one that people pick you for.
05:12Lovely. Yes, yes.
05:13This job will be completely different than your previous job,
05:17but you are comfortable living in shadow of man, yes?
05:19Wait, what?
05:20Next question.
05:20Okay.
05:21What would make you right for this job?
05:23Oh, well, you know, I'm, like, super ready and, like, super Ukrainian,
05:28and I have a ton of experience working for a man who's constantly under attack.
05:31Justin.
05:33Justin.
05:34Yeah.
05:34Ah, yes.
05:35This is who you speak of.
05:36Frail boy with socks.
05:38This is how I know him.
05:39Canada.
05:40My face.
05:41My face.
05:42Katy Perry.
05:42Katy Perry.
05:44Yes, yes.
05:45That's really uncanny.
05:46Yes, I was actor in my time.
05:48Oh, no.
05:49Um, well, you didn't teach, did you?
05:51No, but if things do not work out, good fallback.
05:54Oh, God.
05:55Next question.
05:56Totally.
05:57What was difficult situation at work and how do you solve?
06:00Oh, well, um, a year ago my boss was being, like, a huge baby,
06:03so I publicly embarrassed him in a private letter I let everyone read.
06:06Do not worry.
06:07I am nothing like your previous boss.
06:09Okay.
06:10When I am losing, I hang on desperately for years.
06:13Desperately?
06:14And I throw everyone under buffs.
06:16Even women.
06:17But I am feminist.
06:18Right.
06:19I'm so sorry.
06:20Do you have a question for me?
06:22You have job, by the way.
06:23Oh, yay!
06:25Only applicant.
06:26Right.
06:27Well, I guess I'm just excited to work for a man who actually stands behind what he believes in
06:31and isn't just obsessed with his appearance.
06:34I'm so sorry.
06:35I didn't hear what you said.
06:36Your uniform.
06:38You will love.
06:39Yes.
06:39Put this on.
06:40Henley t-shirt.
06:42Yes, very versatile shirt.
06:44Dress it up.
06:45Dress it down.
06:46Perfect for working out.
06:47Perfect for when things are not working out.
06:49First order of business as economic advisor.
06:52I plank.
06:53You watch.
06:55Put your eyes on this.
07:01A new book is highlighting dozens of hiking gems through Ontario's green belt.
07:06It's called Where to Destroy Next by Doug Ford.
07:09Health Canada has approved generic alternatives for weight loss medications.
07:14So head on down to No Frills and grab yourself a box of No Zempic.
07:21Last month, WestJet launched a new tiered seating program where passengers pay extra for seats that
07:26recline and have leg room. This whole time I've been flying and I didn't realize blood circulation was a perk.
07:32A passenger's review of the new ultra-basic economy seats recently went viral.
07:38Dad, can you just straighten out your legs there?
07:41That's impossible.
07:43You just straighten out your legs.
07:44You just straighten out my knees to the front.
07:46Ah, nothing like flying in your own personal panini press.
07:51WestJet might just be ahead of the curve.
07:53A recent study found that airlines could cut their carbon emissions in half
07:57by scrapping first class in favor of more economy seating.
08:00So if we're going to save the planet, it's time to take our leg room back from the rich.
08:04We have to rise up. Zone two. Zone three.
08:08Not you, zone five. Not you, zone five.
08:11Not yet. Not yet. Sit down. Sit down.
08:14I'll call you. We'll call you, zone five.
08:24I have to go to work.
08:25But I'm sick.
08:26You're fine.
08:27It's influenza.
08:29You're fine.
08:30No, no, no, no.
08:30HUN!
08:31You're fine!
08:36He said your nose was stuffy, just forgot to blow it.
08:40You've only got the sniffles, but you think that
08:44it's COVID.
08:44Did you just call your mother?
08:46Should I call the priest?
08:48It happens every winter.
08:50Baby, what do you call it?
08:55Sick.
08:55Or is it?
08:58Bronchitis.
08:59Maybe it's.
09:02I'm dying.
09:03But there's a cuter word for it.
09:06I know.
09:07Men come.
09:12Why you always have a runny nose.
09:15Calling wives.
09:19Won't you let that poor woman alone.
09:24Demanding health care.
09:26But your meds are right there.
09:28Men come.
09:34While your nose is always runnin', take some more Buckley's for me.
09:39Oh, so sickly you'll be coming.
09:44I'll survive the earth so long.
09:49If she's not there, it won't get done.
09:53I choose to blame your mum.
09:56Oh, I'm just a boy hooked on Sudafed.
10:00But you like your men all uncongested.
10:04And I hate to be a pain, but I'm all out of tissues.
10:08But first, hey, can I kiss you?
10:14What the hell?
10:15I am sick.
10:28Residents in Gander, Newfoundland formed an impromptu shuttle to drive 200
10:32stranded air passengers to hotels, spawning the new musical
10:35Stay Where You're To Until I Comes Where You're At.
10:38New numbers show that in London, Ontario,
10:42cars crash into buildings five times a month on average.
10:47But if you've ever been to London, this is just called parking.
10:56Does Sunday taste good?
10:58Tastes great.
10:59Despite the fact that we're black people in Jim Crow's America.
11:02What a time to have lunch.
11:03Before the Civil Rights Act has passed.
11:05Do you think we'll ever feel equal?
11:07Maybe.
11:08But until then, we can train.
11:12You two lost?
11:14Read the sign.
11:19Not that sign.
11:21That one.
11:21Hey, I think they should be able to eat those sundaes.
11:31Wait, wait, that's...
11:32Oh, no.
11:35We're in a black Oscar bait movie.
11:37No, we're in Jim Crow's South.
11:39No, no, you don't understand.
11:41We're in one of those movies that's about black people, but it's actually for white people to feel good about themselves.
11:46Okay?
11:46Like, Green Book, The Help, Hidden Figures.
11:50What's your job?
11:51I'm the first black violinist to play in the local orchestra.
11:54And I use my genius to convince my co-workers that I'm a person.
11:57Exactly.
11:58And I'm a black maid who's really good at math.
12:01Don't believe me?
12:02That's Jessica Chastain.
12:04Hey, I'm Bryce Dallas Howard.
12:06God, we're in a bad black Oscar bait movie.
12:10Will I get to meet Denzel?
12:11No.
12:12All that's going to happen is your legacy is going to be forgotten,
12:14and then your favorite white actor is going to call you the n-word for 90 minutes,
12:18and then get nominated for an Oscar.
12:20She's right, by the way.
12:21I'm actually a Shakespearean-trained thespian who's very good at hitting the hard R.
12:27To be clear, we do think your lotus is a dreadful time of it.
12:30See, look, we are literally in a movie called They Stood Up.
12:36It's directed by some white guy and produced by Brad Pitt.
12:40We're going to die in this.
12:41What are we going to do?
12:42It's time we write our own movies with no white saviors
12:46that don't depend on black trauma for us, by us.
12:50I'd have a spoon of sundae for that.
12:53And cut.
12:55That was amazing.
12:57So inspiring.
13:01Damn it.
13:02No!
13:06The official portrait of former Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be revealed this month.
13:10The plan is to unveil it on Parliament Hill before it goes on to haunt the nightmares of all Canadian children.
13:17President Trump's actions in Venezuela have some Americans talking about taking over other countries.
13:23And by some Americans, I mean idiots.
13:27What else does America need to take?
13:29Well, Canada?
13:33First of all, buddy, you're not going to invade Canada dressed like that, no.
13:38You'd freeze your little nipples off.
13:42This is Andrew Tate, the king of toxic masculinity, a homophobic, racist, human trafficker.
13:48And those are some of his better qualities.
13:50And I know America has its problems.
13:54But let's be honest, Canada and Canadians.
13:56None of you could have ever done anything as gangster as what Trump just did in Venezuela.
14:00Ever.
14:01Oh, I don't know.
14:01We looked pretty gangster during the War of 1812 when we burned down your White House!
14:05Canada.
14:06Oh.
14:07Canada.
14:07Oh.
14:08Imagine being from Canada.
14:15Imagine saying, I'm a man.
14:17From where?
14:17From Canada.
14:18What?
14:19That doesn't go together.
14:21What are you talking about?
14:22Wait, you're a man from Canada?
14:24Nah.
14:25Can't be.
14:26No, no, I'm a man.
14:28Nah, you're not, bruv.
14:30Of course you're not.
14:31There's no men in Canada.
14:33Oh, I see.
14:34Andrew Tate is like if you mix Jordan Peterson with Gollum from Lord of the Rings.
14:41Tate says it would be easy to invade Canada.
14:43This isn't the first time he's bragged about how easy it would be to dominate someone.
14:47Here he is challenging a boxer to a fight.
14:50Going in there believing you're going to knock me out easily is the biggest mistake
14:53in my life.
14:54And speaking of big mistakes, here's how that went.
15:06Tate once tweeted, nobody cares about your excuses and here are his excuses.
15:12You know what?
15:14I'm 40 years old.
15:15I'm 10 years out of the ring.
15:16I had to spend a little bit of time in jail and locked in my house.
15:20I have a lot going on, but it's okay to lose, but it's not okay to not try.
15:24Okay, Andrew, then come try to take Canada so you can keep on losing.
15:29And speaking of losers, this is what he looks like with here.
15:34Congratulations, Canada, because if people like Andrew Tate hate our country,
15:38we must be doing something right.
15:54According to a new study, castration is strongly linked to increased lifespan in mammals,
15:59which is amazing.
16:00I mean, sign me up, right?
16:01What is castration?
16:07I don't know.
16:10Some roads in Ontario are facing a salt shortage.
16:14And you can tell, they taste disgusting.
16:16I don't know.
16:19We've made a lot of jokes about Alberta over the years, but the reality is it is a diverse and
16:24beautiful province, and we absolutely need it if Canada is ever going to win the Stanley Cup again.
16:30And so I came to Edmonton to learn more, and I found the perfect guy to show me around,
16:35leader of the opposition, Nahed Nenshi.
16:37Thank you so much for coming out.
16:38Well, thank you.
16:38Welcome to Edmonton.
16:39I'm new to Edmonton.
16:40You're pretty new to Edmonton.
16:42Do you want to show me some of the sites?
16:44Yeah, I'm starting to fall in love with this place, and I can't wait to show you the sites
16:47of Edmonton, and particularly the very best part, Edmonton, Strathcona.
16:51Let's do it.
16:53A lot of people are worried about this whole Venezuela situation.
16:56They're saying maybe it's going to affect Alberta oil prices.
17:00Are you worried about that at all?
17:01Well, you know, the geopolitics of the whole thing combined with the economics of it.
17:05I'm worried about Donald Trump kidnapping him.
17:08Oh, he already has Daniel Smith.
17:10Calgary has this whole water main break.
17:14And Daniel Smith tried to blame the water main break on you.
17:19Is this right?
17:20Oh man, you know, I keep saying if I wasn't the leader of the New Democrats,
17:24would she be blaming me?
17:25It's completely outrageous, but just to put it to bed right now,
17:28where were you on the night of December 30th?
17:33I actually was about a block away from the theater main break.
17:37The pieces are falling into place.
17:39Mr. Nenshi, someday everything the light touches will be yours.
17:45There's a small but vocal minority that thinks that Alberta should maybe not be part of Canada.
17:51Are these people huffing too many tar sands or is there something to it?
17:55Well, this is a real problem for Canada.
17:58We have to be serious about it.
18:00You know, certainly there's maybe 25%, maybe as much as 30% of Albertans who feel that way.
18:06And yes, there are some legitimate grievances.
18:09Maybe there's a world where you can kind of compromise.
18:11Like Monday to Friday, you can be part of Canada.
18:14And then on the weekends, you can be the 51st state.
18:17Does that mean we can keep the bars open later?
18:19It better.
18:21All right, let's get out here.
18:23And careful on the way down.
18:25I cannot go to a hospital in Alberta today.
18:27No, no, no.
18:27Forever.
18:28Thank you for reducing the demand on our emergency rooms.
18:32All right, we made it.
18:33Here we are at the Alberta legislature.
18:36Which one of these is Danielle's office?
18:38Is there one that's covered in tinfoil?
18:40We have an election coming up.
18:42Someday.
18:43June-ish.
18:44At least 18 months, maybe sooner.
18:46Are you going to be ready?
18:47We are ready.
18:48In fact, I launched a big advertising campaign this summer that said,
18:52we're ready.
18:52And everyone said, what does that mean?
18:55And the point is, we're ready.
18:56Is there anything that you and Danielle Smith agree on?
18:59We agree on how much we love Alberta.
19:02We agree that this is the best place on earth.
19:05And we disagree because I'd like to keep it that way.
19:09You've got to get back to work.
19:10You've got lots more water mains to break.
19:12And if you ever make it to Mar-a-Lago, send me a postcard.
19:15That is extremely unlikely.
19:17Thanks for coming and thanks for caring.
19:18Great to meet you.
19:22A new earnings report revealed Rodgers made over 100 million dollars in revenue
19:32thanks to the Blue Jays' playoff run.
19:34All that money.
19:36And you couldn't fix the gap in the wall?
19:40To make way for new condos, an iconic Toronto strip club is being demolished.
19:45But don't worry, they'll take the top off real slow.
19:52Are you looking to buy a condo?
19:54Well, prices are the lowest they've been in years, especially on micro condos.
20:00Micro condos get a bad rap.
20:02But I'm here to tell you that you can find pleasure in a really, really, really small thing.
20:08As a guy with a micro condo, I'm always hearing the same thing.
20:12I'm not feeling it.
20:14I was expecting more.
20:15And is that it?
20:17But I'll tell you this, bigger doesn't always mean better.
20:21A common myth about micro condos is that size matters.
20:25It doesn't.
20:26It's how you use it that matters.
20:29If your micro condo feels small, try trimming your house plant hedges.
20:34That'll have everyone saying, oh, there it is.
20:37And just so you know, one in 300 men have a micro condo.
20:41And they go on to lead completely normal lives.
20:44I don't know how, but some even have children.
20:47If someone sees your tiny little condo and doesn't like you because of it,
20:51then they didn't deserve you to begin with.
20:53Maybe their condo is just way too big and run through it.
20:56A lot of people have been entered into that thing.
20:59So consider a micro condo today.
21:01Because believe it or not, micro condos are in right now.
21:05No, seriously, it's in.
21:07Can you actually not feel it?
21:13That's the way we saw the world this week.
21:14Keep it right here on CBC.
21:16Good night.
21:17Good night.
