Hello, my Rebels. Today, I look at a strange appointment made by Stephen Gilboa.
00:00:04.620
He appoints Mohamed Hashim, a race hustler, to the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.
00:00:11.240
What a weird choice. I'll take you through some of his history in case you don't know the name.
00:00:15.860
Before I do, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.

It's $8 a month or $80 for the whole year, and you get the video version of the podcast,

which we like to think is valuable because we've got all the visuals.
00:00:46.320
Tonight, blackface Justin Trudeau appoints a race hustler to lead an anti-racism bureaucracy.
00:00:53.400
Are you surprised? It's October 7th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:57.740
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:03.140
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:07.200
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:13.080
I saw this announcement yesterday from the Heritage Minister, Stephen Gilboa, that weird convicted eco-criminal that Trudeau appointed to cabinet.
00:01:28.340
Actually, I didn't see the tweet because I have been banned and blocked by Gilboa on Twitter.
00:01:40.720
I'm a member of Canadian society against whom he has transgressed.
00:01:45.140
That's what being convicted of a criminal offense means.
00:01:50.880
So why won't this little Trudeau criminal let me see what he says?
00:02:04.740
And he means to require licenses for people who have websites.
00:02:09.520
As far as the licensing is concerned, if you're a distributor of content in Canada, and obviously, you know, if you're a very small media organization, the requirement probably wouldn't be the same as if you're Facebook or Google.
00:02:26.820
So there would have to be some proportionality embedded into this.
00:02:34.700
So, yeah, Gilboa's longer-term plan is to have me shut down until he can achieve that.
00:02:41.420
He'll just stop me from reading his pearls of wisdom on Twitter.
00:02:44.780
Well, I found a way to read his tweet, and he said this.
00:02:49.300
Today I announced the appointment of Mohamed Hashim as the new head of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.
00:02:55.500
With his experience in addressing systemic barriers and promoting inclusion, I am confident that he will carry out his mission brilliantly.
00:03:02.740
Well, as the historian Robert Conquest taught us, the simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it's controlled by a cabal of its enemies.
00:03:18.400
They actually work to keep out dairy products, right, to drive up the price.
00:03:24.800
They work to keep out taxi competitors like Uber.
00:03:28.500
So, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation has just hired someone who is a full-time race hustler himself.
00:03:41.040
I first heard of Mohamed Hashim when he jumped into action after the mass murder in Toronto a couple years back in Toronto's Greek neighborhood called the Danforth.
00:03:50.720
Back then, a Muslim man named Faisal Hussain went on a shooting spree through the Danforth.
00:03:57.380
He murdered two women, an 18-year-old named Reese Fallon and a 10-year-old girl named Juliana Cozes.
00:04:07.960
The strangest part was when Hussain saw people who were visible minorities.
00:04:16.480
It was only white folks in that neighborhood, maybe Greeks or Christians, that he apparently wanted to kill.
00:04:22.960
He drove halfway across the city to go there to do his shooting spree.
00:04:27.020
Hussain said to a local Sikh businessman, he said to that man,
00:04:35.000
And that man reported that to Toronto Suns, Joe Warmington.
00:04:37.740
Now, maybe a mass shooter has nothing to do with terrorism or race or religion or politics.
00:04:43.620
There are murderers of every religion and race doesn't mean that their crime had to do with their religion or their race.
00:04:50.820
But that was a curious thing he told that Sikh guy, don't you think?
00:04:55.280
Now, within moments of the shooting, a Muslim spokesman presented himself to the media on behalf of the family.
00:05:02.840
He told a beautiful story written in perfect English.
00:05:05.840
And it was immediately picked up by all the mainstream media, hungry for a counter-narrative to the curious facts that suggested terrorism.
00:05:21.760
We are at a terrible loss for words, but we must speak out to express our deepest condolences to the families
00:05:28.320
who are now suffering on account of our son's horrific actions, it said.
00:05:32.040
Our son had severe mental health challenges, struggling with psychosis and depression his entire life.
00:05:40.120
The interventions of professionals are unsuccessful.
00:05:42.840
Medications and therapy were unable to treat him.
00:05:53.620
It's doubtful given how weak their command of English is.
00:05:58.600
And who in the Hussein Family approved it, if anyone at all?
00:06:07.060
And why did all the media party run with it so quickly, so uniformly, without scrutiny?
00:06:17.360
Meet the spin doctor behind the Hussein Family statement.
00:06:23.360
The man who has presented himself as the point of contact for the family of Faisal Hussein
00:06:28.620
is a professional activist who has reportedly committed himself to, quote,
00:06:32.700
framing a new narrative of Muslims in Canada and creating a national political movement.
00:06:50.920
The statement was provided by Mohamed Hashem, full-time organizer for the Toronto and York
00:06:59.660
So I'm heavily involved in supporting NDP candidates, both federally and provincially
00:07:04.660
He's also described as a driving force behind the National Council of Canadian Muslims.
00:07:13.880
So the media was so relieved, it wasn't terrorism, just mental illness and psychosis, in fact.
00:07:29.000
I mean, sure, ISIS claimed responsibility within days, but Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster
00:07:35.280
immediately said that wasn't true because Hashem said it wasn't true.
00:07:41.480
Well, the story was buried, except much later we found out, you know, the mass shooting
00:07:50.140
CSIS very much thought it was of interest and top secret.
00:07:56.460
Look at this story again by Anthony Fury in the Toronto Sun.
00:08:04.700
Canada's National Intelligence Agency took an interest in the Danforth shooting for at
00:08:08.560
least six months after the tragic event unfolded.
00:08:10.800
New top secret documents obtained by the Toronto Sun confirmed for the first time.
00:08:15.460
The heavily redacted documents show that CSIS produced their SITREP, a situation report,
00:08:20.260
at 7 a.m. the morning after the July 22, 2018 shooting that left three dead, including
00:08:25.780
the gunman Faisal Hussein and 13 others injured.
00:08:28.420
So this is the news that came out after months, months after the shooting.
00:08:35.380
Just one more fact about that mass shooting, and then I'll bring it back to Mohammed Hashem
00:08:39.040
I'm just reminding you about the mass shooting in the Danforth by Faisal Hussein and what it
00:08:44.960
This is from a police document called an ITO, or Information to Obtain, as in this is what
00:08:57.940
While the media party was running with the, he was so sick excuse, here's what the police
00:09:04.000
This is from interviews with the family that police had conducted.
00:09:10.580
Faisal was into guns when he was younger, but he has no idea how he would have obtained
00:09:18.200
About four years ago, he remembers Faisal visiting Pakistan with his father.
00:09:25.740
Faisal Hussein's dad was also interviewed by the cops.
00:09:28.920
His dad, quote, took Faisal to Islamabad, Pakistan, about two or three years ago to visit family.
00:09:34.680
Faisal was happy on the trip and did not want to return because people left him alone there.
00:09:40.700
So Faisal Hussein didn't like Canada, didn't want to come back to Canada, didn't like the
00:09:47.520
His dad, quote, forces Faisal to attend Dur-Islam mosque as he does not go willingly.
00:09:57.220
I've read this to you a year or so or two years ago, but I'm just refreshing your memory
00:10:03.780
In the next line, Faisal didn't smile much lately and only came out of his room to eat.
00:10:13.160
But look at paragraph 33 in the information to obtain.
00:10:18.480
So the brother and the dad said, oh yeah, he went to Pakistan.
00:10:22.120
They interviewed the mom separately and, quote, she advised the following about Faisal, has
00:10:32.080
So the brother and the father said, sure, he went with his dad to Pakistan.
00:10:42.320
So he had guns and drugs and had been to Pakistan and hated the West and loved being in Pakistan
00:10:49.040
and went to Pakistan, but his mother swears he had never been to Pakistan.
00:10:54.780
And nothing about psychosis in these interviews.
00:11:02.760
Good enough to call anyone who was worried about terrorism and Islamophobe.
00:11:06.480
Until it turned out that CSIS and the Toronto police were worried about terrorism themselves
00:11:10.940
because at least one of his parents were lying about things.
00:11:16.540
The excuse in Hashem's fake letter was exposed.
00:11:19.380
But that was so much after the letter had been published.
00:11:29.300
This young girl claimed that she was attacked on the way to school by a Chinese man, apparently,
00:11:35.000
who didn't say anything to her, apparently, but was carrying scissors, apparently,
00:11:39.300
and cut her hijab without poking her, which is quite a feat.
00:11:45.320
And he came back again and he didn't say anything and no one saw it.
00:11:49.840
And not only did the school not lock down the school,
00:11:53.240
the school board called a national press conference and put the 11-year-old girl on national TV.
00:11:58.140
If an 11-year-old girl had really been attacked by a random person on the street who was still at large,
00:12:02.840
would you identify the girl so the criminal would know who she was?
00:12:08.960
Oh, and the actual press conference itself, the brother joking around and laughing.
00:12:21.100
In that case, it only took police a few days to say the obvious.
00:12:26.600
And her mom had magnified the lied, and the school board has magnified the lied.
00:12:32.320
And to this day, Justin Trudeau, well, he tweeted about the hoax,
00:12:40.080
Fake news, disinformation, but all part of Mohammed Hashem's disinformation campaign.
00:12:48.920
He wrote, having the police recognize this as a potential hate crime is a much greater act of deterrence
00:12:55.640
and a signal that Islamophobia will not be tolerated, said Mohammed Hashem,
00:13:00.700
a member of the United Alliance on Race Relations, or Urban Alliance on Race Relations.
00:13:08.840
Or remember when a Syrian migrant went full Antifa on an elderly lady?
00:13:13.820
Well, that guy, Allah al-Sufi, was the son of Hassam al-Sufi,
00:13:24.220
who had been, you know, some media celebrity of sorts.
00:13:30.460
And it turns out his son is a young Antifa thug.
00:13:48.220
They basically, the guy who comes in to turn terrorists into mentally ill people
00:13:53.560
and turns Antifa thugs into victims of Islamophobia.
00:13:59.680
Last fall, Hashem showed up the day Hassam al-Sufi,
00:14:06.140
announced that he was going to shutter his doors due to death threats and other hateful messages.
00:14:10.520
The closure came after al-Sufi's son was involved in an incident outside of a Maxime Bernier event in Hamilton.
00:14:17.240
Ala al-Sufi faced a number of charges, including two counts of intimidation,
00:14:21.320
two counts of wearing a disguise with intent and causing a disturbance
00:14:24.640
after he was arrested for allegedly blocking the path of an elderly woman with a walker.
00:14:29.680
Hashem says the family had no idea what to do when the death threats came in
00:14:40.120
Fake hijab hoax turning the girl into a victim instead of the liar.
00:14:45.300
Fake spin here turning an Antifa thug into a victim.
00:14:53.400
He's opposed to de-radicalizing actual terrorists.
00:15:01.000
Playing up de-radicalization only further marginalizes Muslims more.
00:15:05.740
Now, I don't believe de-radicalization is a thing.
00:15:08.780
Just look at the recidivism rate of the terrorists released from Guantanamo Bay.
00:15:20.040
These people believe in the jihad and they won't disbelieve it
00:15:23.140
just because some liberal social worker asks them to.
00:15:26.700
Hashem didn't just do defense for Muslim extremists.
00:15:34.340
Here he is defending an anti-Semitic liberal MP.
00:15:45.080
B'nai B'rith describes him as having anti-Semitic, anti-Israel views.
00:15:53.540
For example, doubting that Osama bin Laden was the mastermind behind 9-11.
00:16:00.980
During his days at Concordia University, he got the Jewish club there delisted.
00:16:07.880
Oh yes, he likes the idea of Sharia law being incorporated in Canada.
00:16:16.060
Well, Hashem is there and he'll claim that such an anti-Semite and 9-11 supporter, excuser,
00:16:25.140
Aaron O'Toole had called out Zuberi's anti-Semitism and views on 9-11.
00:16:31.560
It's funny how you call him an anti-Semite, but the most recent president of the Montreal
00:16:35.440
Board of Rabbis, Rabbi Lisa Gushko, calls him a friend.
00:16:39.180
Talk about using the Jewish community as political pawns to score cheap points.
00:16:47.760
And then there's just plain old telling the Jews to shut up.
00:16:55.240
There was this Jewish conference on anti-Semitism and Hashem knew who the bad guys were.
00:17:00.520
It's really shocking how so many Jewish stalwarts could be involved with this.
00:17:04.880
I get the need to expose and discuss Islamic extremists, but that's not the limit of expression
00:17:11.460
Many have crossed the line and conflated to impose negative values on all Muslims.
00:17:20.640
Did John Baird just say Canada wants the 67 borders with land swaps as the basis of a
00:17:39.760
He propagates lies about security threats of Islamic terrorists.
00:17:43.220
He denounces Jews who are worried about terrorism.
00:17:45.720
He even criticizes the liberals for what little they're doing about terrorists.
00:17:51.060
This is the man Justin Trudeau and Stephen Gilboa just put in charge of a government bureaucracy
00:17:59.740
The crazy thing is the Race Relations Foundation was set up in part with running by Japanese Canadians,
00:18:09.040
The purpose was to help learn the lessons of the Japanese internment.
00:18:12.960
Imagine what those founders would think now with such a hustler and huckster running the
00:18:27.700
It's now a $26 million battering ram against race relations for accused terrorists and definitely
00:18:53.580
Well, depending on how you measure, you could say that China is winning its asymmetrical war
00:19:05.380
It hasn't shut itself down permanently as much of the West has done.
00:19:10.560
In fact, it's making money off the vestiges of the pandemic, selling us personal protective equipment.
00:19:18.280
In terms of military expansionism, it continues full force.
00:19:23.080
They've taken over Hong Kong and the West has done but a peep.
00:19:26.920
Now they're threatening war with India high in the mountains.
00:19:30.560
I'm not sure by what measure China could be said to be losing its war against the West.
00:19:37.460
And in about a month, we'll see if, in fact, Joe Biden, whose family has deep ties to China
00:19:45.800
If so, if he beats Donald Trump, then I think it's fair to say China will have won the war.
00:19:51.840
But what about the war for the hearts and minds of the West?
00:19:55.840
According to a new international survey by the liberal but fair Pew Research Group,
00:20:06.800
Joining us now via Skype from Winnipeg to talk about this is our friend Spencer Fernando.
00:20:11.500
And if you're not following him at spencerfernando.com, you're doing it wrong.
00:20:17.760
You know, I'm really nervous about Trump's re-election for a number of reasons.
00:20:23.440
China is a really big one of those reasons because you couldn't see a starker contrast
00:20:28.980
between Trump and Biden on possibly any issue other than China.
00:20:40.220
I can't even think of anything where it's so...
00:20:45.920
Yeah, I mean, Biden's tried to copy a lot of Trump's rhetoric lately.
00:20:50.540
But if you look at what he was saying, when he was actually in power, he was very friendly
00:20:55.100
He said, oh, you know, China is not a competitor for the states, which is just absurd to say.
00:20:59.760
He said, they're not bad folks talking about Xi Jinping.
00:21:03.880
So yeah, I mean, he definitely seems much weaker on China than Trump has been.
00:21:08.440
The only thing is, I mean, you know, people like Chuck Schumer in the states and some of the
00:21:11.900
Democrats have been pretty tough on China for a while.
00:21:14.360
So I think it depends whether he gets his way on it or whether some of the people, if he
00:21:18.520
wins, of course, some of the people in the Democratic Party and in the U.S. power structure
00:21:23.800
at large pressure him into being tougher on China.
00:21:26.700
But yeah, it would definitely be a concern with him in power on the China issue.
00:21:30.360
Now, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been on a real international campaign to build a
00:21:38.520
And that coalition, he wants it to include people rejecting Huawei, the Chinese telecom
00:21:45.440
giant that wants to build the 5G internet backbone in the West.
00:21:55.580
I don't know if that momentum will continue if Pompeo is replaced.
00:22:01.860
But what's interesting to me in this Pew study, I'd like to just show some of the different
00:22:05.220
countries, is just how deeply public opinion has turned against China.
00:22:11.840
In Australia, the number of Australians who are hostile towards China has doubled from 40%
00:22:20.460
In the United Kingdom, it's gone up four times, from 16% to 74%.
00:22:28.920
In the Netherlands, it's more than doubled from 34% to 73%.
00:22:32.460
And I have to say, Canadians are pretty vigorous on that too, as you know.
00:22:38.200
Just a few years ago, only 27% of Canadians were hostile or critical or worried about China.
00:22:47.020
I wonder if the grassroots world opposition to China means anything, though, if the leaders,
00:22:55.320
business leaders, tech leaders, military leaders continue to sell out.
00:23:03.360
It's going to be an election issue in a lot of places, including here in Canada.
00:23:06.640
If you look at Aaron O'Toole, he's taken a tougher stance on China than any leader,
00:23:10.720
a big political leader we've seen in Canada, possibly ever, but at least for some time.
00:23:16.000
So it'll be interesting to see how Canadians react to that.
00:23:18.640
I mean, Trudeau, there have been a few articles talking about how the liberals are now,
00:23:21.900
they're going to try to shift towards a somewhat tougher position on China.
00:23:26.540
But there's things they could be doing that they're still not doing.
00:23:31.220
They're not taking any steps to reduce the, you know, many of our universities are highly
00:23:35.380
reliant on foreign students from China, and they haven't done anything to reduce
00:23:39.260
that reliance, you know, saying we're not going to have any more foreign students from
00:23:45.060
The Vancouver housing market is being totally distorted by Chinese billionaires buying up
00:23:50.660
So Canadian citizens themselves can't even live in some of our own cities, can't even
00:23:56.480
So they're not doing anything about that either.
00:23:58.080
So there's some things they could be doing to show some resolve and strength, and they
00:24:02.600
Yeah, you know, I think Trump had said that no members of the Communist Party will be allowed
00:24:10.960
It's sort of crazy that that isn't the law right now.
00:24:14.600
I mean, after the Second World War, there was a de-Nazification program, and anyone who
00:24:22.020
had been associated with the Nazi Party, I'm not talking about just your common soldier in
00:24:28.700
the Wehrmacht, I'm talking any Nazi, they had to go through a de-radicalization, they
00:24:35.740
I mean, you couldn't come to America if you were a Nazi.
00:24:39.260
I'm not exactly equating the Communist Party with the Nazi Party, but there are some similarities.
00:24:47.040
Authoritarian, fascist, concentration camps of millions of Uyghurs, a surveillance society,
00:24:56.620
I think there are some analogies, it's crazy to me, and here in Canada, not only do we
00:25:01.540
allow communists to become citizens, as in members of the Communist Party, we allow the
00:25:06.440
sons and daughters of rich Communist Party cronies to fill up our universities, as you
00:25:13.440
I mean, no one knows where history is going to go, but if you look at, you know, Germany
00:25:16.800
before World War II, you know, say, let's say 1935, 1934, and then China now, there are
00:25:23.660
I mean, China is, in many ways, an authoritarian ethnostate, which, again, is something that
00:25:29.720
You see all the elites here saying, Canada must accept record immigration levels, or else
00:25:35.060
You know, if anyone wants to even reduce to, basically, well, it would still be a record.
00:25:38.680
It's, oh, any reduction at all, totally racist, unless it's in Quebec, of course.
00:25:43.460
But then you have China saying, you know, only a certain amount of people, only a certain
00:25:50.660
They're trying to, they're doing an actual cultural genocide against the Uyghurs, and,
00:25:55.000
you know, many people seem to not care about that.
00:25:57.580
So it's interesting, you know, we're supposed to accept all these things from China, but if
00:26:00.820
we do anything in our own country, oh, it's totally unacceptable.
00:26:03.860
But, you know, all the people said never again, and, oh, they're fighting fascism, and we're
00:26:07.580
not going to let authoritarianism happen ever again, you know, they seem to be willing to
00:26:12.300
turn a blind eye to China, I guess, if there's some profit or power in it for themselves.
00:26:18.280
But as you say, the question is, will the people in charge actually do anything about
00:26:23.180
I mean, I look at the NBA, the National Basketball Association, obsessed with China because it's
00:26:28.340
such an important part of their commercial success.
00:26:32.140
I mean, you get an endorsement in China as a player.
00:26:42.420
So to watch how they have silenced any criticism of China and any support for Hong Kong, it's
00:26:50.500
actually far more creepy to me to watch the NBA enforce Chinese propaganda than anything
00:26:59.580
I mean, we just saw the Disney film Mulan filmed in China.
00:27:04.080
In their credits, the closing credits, they literally give a shout out to the Xinjiang
00:27:10.380
secret police, the people who are running the Uyghur concentration camps.
00:27:15.440
I mean, it's bad enough that that's where they filmed it.
00:27:21.060
I mean, that's in the end, that still didn't please the Chinese dictatorship.
00:27:28.280
But to watch mighty Disney and mighty professional sports, and you can't, how can you just say
00:27:36.620
How can you say I'm boycotting all professional sports leagues?
00:27:40.580
I think the real problems are the power of commerce corrupting America and Canada.
00:27:49.500
I think that's actually a bigger problem than the politicians.
00:27:54.140
I mean, you saw even with the new Top Gun movie, they made a little sneaky change there where,
00:27:59.180
you know, Tom Cruise's jacket originally had, I think, the Taiwanese flag on the back,
00:28:03.000
and they changed it to something a little more generic, right?
00:28:05.200
So it's subtle, but that tells you what they're trying to do.
00:28:08.700
But yeah, I think the issue with commerce, I mean, I think it's also an issue with the
00:28:13.440
I mean, say what you want about China's government.
00:28:16.760
But civilizationally, you know, they have a pretty strong sense of themselves.
00:28:21.840
There's people trying to, well, they erase it right now with all this, you know, the West
00:28:29.300
Any time in history there's been a competition between a confident civilization and one that's
00:28:36.580
And so I think in the West, we're kind of tearing apart all our values, tearing apart
00:28:42.240
And, you know, you take away, you know, people's belief, you take away people's faith in themselves
00:28:47.440
and their own country, and then you're left with just, oh, just make money, just, you know,
00:28:53.100
And then China's going to win that battle every time.
00:28:54.980
So I think the fight against China is not just it's about opposing them.
00:28:58.760
It's about being strong within our own country.
00:29:04.060
It's been more than a dozen years since I was in China.
00:29:13.260
I think they have some saying he was 80% right, or they have some weird math like that.
00:29:18.360
But in no way are they erasing him from their history.
00:29:23.200
And that Chinese nationalism is absolutely what's fueling things.
00:29:31.460
Well, Spencer, I'm glad you're keeping up the fight on this issue.
00:29:35.280
Do you think that the Canadian media are starting to turn?
00:29:39.740
I saw the other day the Globe and Mail published a big infomercial from, I think it was called
00:29:47.760
There's this huge section called China Watch, which makes it sound like it's anti-China.
00:29:55.760
Now, it was marked as an ad, but it sure was persuasive if you were to believe it.
00:30:02.360
On the other hand, the Globe and Mail does actually some pretty good journalism on China.
00:30:08.840
Are there any people in the media still totally in love with communist China?
00:30:14.120
There might be a few, but I think they're starting to get the message, some of them at least.
00:30:17.980
I mean, I think Sam Cooper from Global News did a good article about there's been some disturbing gang activity,
00:30:24.340
gangs linked to communist China and politicians there.
00:30:29.500
You know, there's still, even in the mainstream media, some journalists with credibility,
00:30:32.480
but the problem is they're few and far between, and their owners often just want to make profits.
00:30:38.220
So I think it's going to be a big battle for the soul of journalism in the country between China trying to co-opt people.
00:30:43.540
They've got lots of subtle ways of doing it, too.
00:30:45.180
It's not just straight up they're going to go and necessarily threaten somebody or give them money directly.
00:30:49.720
They've got lots of subtle ways, and we'll see if people have the ability to resist.
00:30:53.920
The one thing that does concern me about Canadians sometimes, though, is, you know,
00:30:56.660
there's this, I call it the cult of niceness, right, is people think, oh, Canadians, we have to be nice all the time.
00:31:02.580
You know, there's a difference between being nice and being good.
00:31:05.020
You can be good, and you don't always have to be nice.
00:31:07.020
Sometimes you have to be tough, even brutal once in a while.
00:31:09.660
But Canadians often think, oh, we'll just roll over for everybody.
00:31:13.620
And, you know, if we do that and we don't change the attitude, you know,
00:31:16.420
China's just going to look at us and say, man, this is going to be easy.
00:31:26.840
What kind of things should we look forward to at spencerfernando.com?
00:31:30.860
Well, I'll be writing more, I think, about what the Liberals are doing to the economy.
00:31:34.260
Obviously, the massive spending and debt they're racking up.
00:31:37.620
The NDP, really, not even an opposition party anymore.
00:31:40.280
It's just a weak kind of version of the Liberals that's propping them up.
00:31:43.540
So that might create an opportunity for the Green Party.
00:31:47.300
I mean, Jagmeet Singh is even amused about keeping the Liberals in power for the rest of their term.
00:31:53.300
Nobody was told that was what's going to happen.
00:31:56.720
So I don't think people are too pleased about that.
00:31:59.360
Well, listen, it's great to have you again on the show, as I mentioned.
00:32:02.340
And, folks, I've said this before about other friends, like our friends at True North, Candace Malcolm and Andrew Lawton.
00:32:09.880
There are so few independent journalists in this country.
00:32:14.000
I understand you're a member of the Independent Press Gallery.
00:32:21.120
And I understand there's about 50 members of the Independent Press Gallery, which I found encouraging.
00:32:25.800
So I'd like to encourage our viewers to go over to SpencerFernando.com and sign up.
00:32:31.620
Because there are so few of us independent voices that don't take government dough.
00:32:36.740
I think each of us, frankly, has an obligation to support those like Spencer who are willing to take a stand.
00:32:42.400
We're thrilled to have you here and keep up the great work on your own website.
00:33:07.520
Hate to say it, but I agree with McKenna on this one.
00:33:10.320
I've eaten dog, so I can't criticize her for that when in Rome.
00:33:14.480
The other stuff, distasteful to Westerners for sure, but I don't think McKenna had much potential to put a stop to that stuff, being a foreigner in a strange land.
00:33:24.180
They didn't exploit the situation in trying to make an interesting TV show, but is she responsible for what happened?
00:33:31.780
I still don't like her politics, but her role in the TV show doesn't really affect my opinion of her.
00:33:36.300
Well, listen, I appreciate you taking that point of view.
00:33:40.160
In my noontime show today, I mentioned when I went to China a dozen years ago, I sort of became a vegetarian because there were certain things I didn't want to eat.
00:33:51.080
The only place I really ate anything I saw was in Xinjiang because I sort of knew, okay, the Muslim province, there's certain things you're not eating there or whatever.
00:33:59.820
I think when you travel, you have to bend the knee to local customs to a degree, but really, I want to, I mean, let's put aside the marriage.
00:34:09.920
Maybe it was just an arranged marriage and not an auction or human trafficking, and let's say eating dog, well, I mean, I ate rabbit stew once, I'll admit it, but what about going to an illegal cockfight and putting money in the fund to bribe the local police?
00:34:26.500
Is that just going with local customs? Is that an amoral act? I'm going to disagree with you on that one.
00:34:35.880
Healthy Skeptic writes, the t-shirt looks like a winner, but seriously, Catherine McKenna will never answer.
00:34:40.660
For these hideous episodes, liberals are simply above it all.
00:34:47.060
If this had been, I don't know, a senior MP in Erin O'Toole's Conservative Party,
00:34:54.640
I don't know, if Pierre Polyev had gone with a bunch of buddies to Indonesia for 60 days,
00:35:01.220
eating dog food, all right, maybe it wouldn't be a big deal,
00:35:05.400
went to an arranged marriage with an auction of the bride,
00:35:12.220
But you went to a cockfight, you enjoyed it, you bet on it,
00:35:19.120
Nah, I don't think the CBC would ignore that, do you?
00:35:21.840
On my interview with Joel Pollack, Canadian civilian, writes,
00:35:27.040
disagreement and words of dissent were turned into hate speech by these fools.
00:35:33.540
While we're in tough times, I say in 30 days we'll know a great deal about the future of the West.
00:35:38.800
If Donald Trump wins, I think it'll save America from a lot of things.
00:35:46.420
It'll save America from anarchy and riot on the streets.
00:35:49.820
I think it'll save America from the increasing identity politics divisions.
00:35:59.600
Obviously he won't be president in fact, he'll simply be president in name.
00:36:04.380
And the people behind him, well, they're the ones that really terrify me.
00:36:08.280
In Canada, you know, electing Aaron O'Toole or electing Justin Trudeau,
00:36:16.060
But neither will affect our outcome more than having Trump or Biden in the White House.
00:36:22.560
I believe the effects on the world will be so profound,
00:36:25.660
the difference between those two presidents, those two potential presidents,
00:36:29.680
will be so profound that it will actually matter more to Canadians than our own federal election.
00:36:38.380
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:36:41.360
to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
