In a series of highly anticipated events this week, conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson visited Canada to deliver speeches in Calgary and Edmonton. The events have garnered significant attention, with supporters and critics alike discussing the impact of his message on Canadian politics.
During his speech in Calgary, Carlson addressed a crowd of thousands, including Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. He spoke about the importance of individual rights and freedoms, stating that “It doesn’t matter who’s in the Prime Minister’s office, your rights remain the same because you were born with them, because you are not a slave, you’re a human being and you have inherent dignity because God made you.”

The event in Edmonton also drew a large crowd, with many attendees expressing their support for the conservative commentator. However, not everyone was pleased with his visit. Some critics accused him of spreading misinformation and inciting violence. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s climate czar, Steven Guilbeault, went so far as to accuse Carlson of putting a target on his back.

Despite the controversy, many Canadians appreciated Carlson’s message. In a video clip of his speech, he was heard saying, “We came to bring the fragrance of freedom to the rotting corpse of despotism.” This sentiment resonated with some who feel that their voices are not being heard in the current political climate.
In response to the events, Rachel Gilmore, a Canadian journalist, tweeted, “Tucker Carlson came to Canada yesterday, where he stood on stage and told his audience their fellow Canadians want to kiII them.” This statement highlights the polarized nature of the reactions to his visit.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Tucker Carlson’s visit will impact Canadian politics and public discourse. While some see his message as a breath of fresh air, others view it as a dangerous and divisive force. Regardless of one’s stance, it is clear that the events have sparked a conversation about the future of Canadian politics and the role of conservative voices in shaping it.
Tucker began his visit by promising, “We came to bring the fragrance of freedom to the rotting corpse of despotism” and to inspire the Canadians to act with the knowledge they “have it in them to throw off the yoke of totalitarianism.”
