Transcript

00:00:00.000 well good evening ladies and gentlemen welcome to our daily live stream we're here at our hq
00:00:19.720 in ottawa covering the emergency inquiry act i have to the right of me my co-host this is
00:00:25.480 how are you doing today alexa i'm pretty good it was a really interesting day and i would say we
00:00:33.080 have a lot to talk about today absolutely and to my left we have guests tonight this is freedom
00:00:39.640 corp lawyer this is eva chipiak eva how are you doing tonight very well thanks so much very good
00:00:44.560 so today we saw a couple of very very interesting things uh it was christia freeland obviously you're
00:00:50.420 going to wonder what did freeland say what went on in terms of the policies we saw some of that
00:00:56.320 come out with her deputy ministers that was very interesting what were some of the main takeaways
00:01:00.800 do you think today from the beginning of uh freeland's testimony so um with deputy minister
00:01:07.660 freeland not surprisingly we heard about the freezing of the bank accounts and economic impact
00:01:13.720 but the extent to which she talked about electric vehicles and uh the border crossings and even
00:01:22.600 the war in ukraine i thought i was at the wrong hearing for a while so i i think a lot of people
00:01:29.320 felt that way and um i'm excited to talk about the credibility of the commission today because that's
00:01:35.400 certainly something that uh was very surprising that that's not should never be on parties that are a bit
00:01:42.160 adverse to um the party to say that but that's on commission council to rein it in and for the
00:01:49.180 commissioner to rein it in um i i honestly am not certain and i think the rest of canada
00:01:55.200 is not certain what deputy uh minister freeland was talking about today when she came to talk about the
00:02:02.700 justification of invoking the emergencies act i at least 90 of what she talked about had nothing
00:02:09.540 to do with why we were here today waste of time and waste of money for canadians in my opinion
00:02:14.760 you're absolutely right um it was really difficult also i'd like to note if you're keeping up with my
00:02:20.220 live tweeting today i did tweet at one point just to give a little bit of a breakdown of the commission
00:02:24.680 i like to give people little folks of like how the overall feeling is the vibe what's going on in
00:02:29.520 the room people were literally under their breath um insulting her and it was it was loud and it was
00:02:35.420 blatant like i wouldn't be surprised if some at some point that she was able to hear these things too
00:02:39.840 um but regardless of that and her um inability to actually complete her sentences let's go and throw
00:02:46.480 to clip number one so this is a little bit of a breakdown about um how the freezing initially took
00:02:51.840 place in regards to people's bank bank accounts that were affected for actually being a part of this
00:02:56.460 lawful um protest so let's throw to clip one yeah that'll be number one the prelude
00:03:09.280 a bank or other financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account
00:03:24.020 without a court order in doing so they will be protected against civil liability for actions
00:03:33.200 taken in good faith federal government institutions will have a new broad authority
00:03:40.160 to share relevant information with banks and other financial service providers to ensure that we can
00:03:48.240 all work together to put a stop to the funding of these illegal blockades this is about following the money
00:03:58.200 this is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades we are today serving notice
00:04:07.300 if your truck is being used in these illegal blockades your corporate accounts will be frozen
00:04:16.200 the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended send your semi-trailers home the canadian economy needs
00:04:27.120 them to be doing legitimate work not to be illegally making us all poorer
00:04:34.880 so i think that's a really good reminder yeah i just wanted to read one quote
00:04:40.520 they will be protected from civil liability for actions taken in good faith what was your take on
00:04:47.000 that again hearing this for the second time and then being able to compare this to what we heard in
00:04:51.200 the commission today is really important to note so but i would say that she looked like less than
00:04:56.380 than when she was talking about the electric battery car she i must cry when she was talking about it but
00:05:03.960 um she was also aware that probably small amount of account bank account would be probably frozen
00:05:13.640 and so it's it's it's it's a concern that she had but why doing this measure if you knew that
00:05:21.800 some really i would say under middle wage like family will have their bank account frozen and the family for some
00:05:31.960 was not even involved with the the protest in ottawa they were back home and without access to money
00:05:39.560 so i think um this was a pretty bad bad action would you say that the civil liberties of those affected by
00:05:49.480 this insane announcement were actually kept well so um one thing that she had gone on nauseam about
00:05:58.760 today was about how the economy of canada was affected and we know that that was not what was
00:06:05.560 found earlier in the commission the financial department um analysis showed that there was an
00:06:11.880 a limited impact on any blockades on the borders because if we look at the facts the facts are that
00:06:20.600 it wasn't even five days at windsor it was about 10 trucks i don't recall it was menu school and
00:06:26.840 why are we going on and talking about this like all of a sudden five trucks affected the entire
00:06:33.240 entire economy of canada if we're that um at risk then we certainly have a problem that we should be
00:06:39.880 addressing the problem of the economy is not anything the government of canada should be pointing fingers at
00:06:46.600 anybody else except for themselves for two years they locked down companies they enforced vaccine mandates on
00:06:54.840 border travel and what was shown today too is that on two different um documents one being freelance
00:07:03.080 owned notes and also from the canadian truckers association they confirmed that the number of
00:07:09.960 truckers was not uh unvaccinated truckers was not 10 percent like the federal government was parading
00:07:16.040 around during the convoy it was 40 percent were unvaccinated and that you know who also gave that
00:07:23.720 evidence so three people confirmed this that would be chris barber trucker himself who said that he's
00:07:30.680 been in the business for a long time he can see the impact that vaccine mandate was having and this
00:07:37.560 government will not look in the mirror at itself and will point the finger at innocent canadians and
00:07:44.440 it is getting nauseous and it's getting frustrating it is isn't it i mean and then to hear so she had
00:07:52.840 the opposite opinion today when she said that that's not something that they wanted to do and
00:07:56.840 she didn't intend for it to happen but then they take 10 step backwards afterwards and then they try
00:08:01.480 and you know throw to how it wasn't a protest and it was an illegal occupation she actually corrected
00:08:06.280 herself today on the record she started by saying something regarding the protest the convoy she called
00:08:11.800 it a protest she stopped she threw her hands up and she made like a insane noise and she was like
00:08:17.800 sorry the illegal occupation yeah so a couple things too i want to say before i forget because
00:08:23.880 and and that's touching on but but before we go there the other thing was that um uh okay no we're
00:08:31.240 going there because i forgot my other point do it but when she was talking about
00:08:37.400 so hard even to talk about so just give me one second i got you yeah when she's walking through the
00:08:43.800 the the protest and she gives and she goes i'm gonna give an example when she was threatened
00:08:51.880 because she's a woman that's right and there was a woman trucker that looked at her and said something
00:08:58.440 inappropriate or mean and gave her some kind of gesture i don't know we didn't know what it was
00:09:05.640 the middle finger maybe if this is what we're invoking the emergencies act over what
00:09:14.840 on earth is happening in canada like if she actually provided an example of threatening behavior then
00:09:23.560 fine but for her to say yeah somebody is frustrated frustrated with you christian so am i right now
00:09:30.440 um and people can express themselves or i'm sorry do you want to take away people's liberty and right
00:09:35.800 to express themselves uh and especially to elected officials like that was so hard to watch and then
00:09:43.560 she congratulated herself for having uh rcmp protective services and how great they were to be around
00:09:50.440 yeah you get protective services and canadians are paying for it so don't tell me don't
00:09:56.440 come go on to this inquiry and cry about it because you have protection people don't like you
00:10:05.960 like deal with it i don't know what to say it's insane i wish they hopefully for her she was not
00:10:14.200 my situation at the end because she will have claimed i don't know like i don't know what she will have
00:10:21.320 done can you imagine though actually can you imagine if any of the politicians or even any of
00:10:26.280 the police officers on the ground were treated like not just the journalist sitting beside me but
00:10:32.120 i won't give an exact number because i i don't want to be inaccurate but of the very very very many
00:10:36.920 instances that we've seen them use brutal force yeah can you imagine if if christia freeland thinks
00:10:42.040 that invoking the emergencies act was a dignified move to make because someone flipped her the bird and
00:10:48.200 said that they didn't like her now you're right we've got a problem yeah just thinking about it
00:10:52.360 now it's like oh somebody said something mean go beat them up like that's what we're seeing here um
00:10:58.040 i just wanted to add to um add an owner um ask um christian fridani say you would agree that
00:11:07.320 the reduction of truck driver crossing the border when they are already supply chain issue could have
00:11:15.640 an effect and she answered something and she answered afterwards i don't agree with the assertion
00:11:24.600 that the vaccine mandate themselves cause problem for our supply chain i found that so
00:11:31.560 outrageous just because we just heard that 40 percent of the truck driver yeah was not vaccinated so
00:11:41.000 how this will not affect the supply chain no it's because they're perfect the federal government and
00:11:49.000 everything they do is perfect but anything canadians do is wrong because it's apparently the canadians
00:11:56.840 that are doing everything wrong but the federal government is untouchable like it's so ridiculous
00:12:04.840 to have to listen to this 100 percent you know i want to throw it a clip five um i want to hear
00:12:10.440 her saying that she would have preferred not to have done this referring to freezing people's bank
00:12:15.560 accounts but again we listened to her deputy ministers testify they had no problem doing these
00:12:20.440 things in fact they were aware of the potential ramifications of freezing people's bank accounts
00:12:25.240 when it came to the the effects that it could have on their families um on people's children's it's not
00:12:31.080 just and she mentioned this as well it's not just freezing one bank account it's in fact the people
00:12:37.080 that share those bank accounts and they knew that they could be joint accounts it didn't matter but
00:12:41.160 it can actually like put the threat for electric car oh yeah oh and she was crying too i remember her crying today
00:12:51.160 well i think it was that or that like people the bank ceos were calling her oh poor poor freelance
00:12:58.280 oh freeland yeah oh poor yeah for background just before we throw to clip five she started actually
00:13:05.160 tearing up and crying after taking about it was like within 10 seconds of her talking about electric
00:13:11.240 car batteries and she literally just was like tearing up crying and then just as suddenly as it happened
00:13:16.920 she was totally normal i'm confused anyway let's go clip five let's play that he needed to be balanced
00:13:23.960 against an awareness of the number of people who would be protected by this action so those were
00:13:30.280 the things that i chiefly had in mind and you know i think at the end of the day it was something like 280
00:13:40.120 accounts frozen um one of the reports i remember when we were at like 240 or 241 accounts frozen
00:13:49.320 my numbers won't be exact but i know you guys have all the numbers too it was something like 57 people
00:13:55.400 when we were at around 240 so i don't have the exact figure of how many actual people when we were at 280
00:14:03.560 but i think we have an idea of the ballpark and so in my mind i say okay that i i regret that that happened
00:14:13.240 to those people i really do i would have preferred it was a serious thing i would have preferred not
00:14:20.120 to have had to do this but in my mind i weigh that against what i really believe is the tens hundreds of
00:14:30.600 thousands of canadian jobs and families that we protected
00:14:38.200 so what did you make of that i mean you're shaking your head i'm shaking my head what's your take
00:14:43.400 she she has so many different ways of protecting canadians and uh freezing bank accounts is not
00:14:51.000 how i see any government protecting canadians it's punishment it's not protection uh you can't work
00:14:59.560 word salad your way around that one freeland yeah um i would say also she said that fox news did attack
00:15:09.720 them on the bank account i don't know if you can like throw the clip then i think it's pretty
00:15:16.440 interesting and i'm wondering what fox news will say about this oh god let's go yeah this is uh i mean
00:15:23.000 i think it's really interesting to assume that you're not going to be criticized from well your neighbors
00:15:27.560 right the us they don't use in canada huh because all the media are just having the same
00:15:34.440 narrative not the independent though let's roll that
00:15:39.720 it was fox uh yeah
00:15:48.920 specifically what how the terry fox statue was
00:15:54.040 yeah implicated in this but i do remember reading about it and i remember i do i remember it
00:15:58.680 specifically because my children were aware of it and were upset right and so i went online and
00:16:06.360 i just looked at how many times someone's done that to that statute and it seems to be hundreds
00:16:10.520 so i'm just going to put this one to you if someone puts an lgbtq flag on the terry fox statute and flowers
00:16:17.560 in the statute is that a desecration i am not going to go into i really don't think it's my job or helpful
00:16:28.200 for canadians for canadians for me to go into a discussion of what is okay and not okay but
00:16:33.720 you said it was a terry fox statue when you've called it a desecration in public that was what you're referring to
00:16:41.320 based on what was put on the statute so is it fair to say that it's only a desecration to you if you don't agree with the message
00:16:48.680 again you've made a couple of leaps beyond anything that i've said
00:16:57.560 so that wasn't yeah that wasn't specifically the clip but it was interesting yeah it was
00:17:01.640 it was really worth noting the fact that there's such a double standard i was here
00:17:05.240 and so was alexa in ottawa when there was the alleged desecration of the terry fox statue because
00:17:10.520 somebody decided to put a canadian flag around terry fox which i believe terry fox would have
00:17:15.880 not minded at all i did a report on that actually yeah yeah on the terry fox statue yeah and then
00:17:21.720 the background on that is that during um some particular other protests or parades like um
00:17:26.840 when pride rolls around 100 times a year now um people throw those pride flags over top of him
00:17:32.520 they do other things as well but that's not considered desecrating the statue so there's a
00:17:36.600 huge double standard here apparently um using canadian flags is now a symbol of terrorism
00:17:41.800 according to these deputy ministers and ministers in the liberal cabinet so that was a mouthful but
00:17:47.000 before eva goes oh yeah yeah i just want to comment too on what you were you you did want to throw to
00:17:52.040 it or like what was going on in the states because that is an important point and and brendan did um
00:17:57.560 put that to her in cross-examination because what he did say is that canada on the on the world stage
00:18:04.360 is going down in accountability and transparency day year by year yeah and that is the reason that
00:18:13.400 people are getting hesitant to invest in canada it's not again because a few trucks um were around the
00:18:22.440 bridge and holding things up a little bit they didn't even fully blockade it as we figured out
00:18:28.040 if and if they can't control their country and citizens it's and i should even refrain that they
00:18:35.880 shouldn't be controlling their citizens they are not being accountable and transparent and so canadians
00:18:45.400 are getting frustrated as is the rest of the world so they're not interested in investing it's not because
00:18:52.280 of what a few people in canada did but the eyes of the world have been open to what is going on in
00:18:59.160 canada and this can lead us into the transparency as as well if you'd like to talk about other
00:19:04.440 transparency oh my god yes a lot of to talk about transparency today 100 especially with the redact uh
00:19:11.320 document that we saw yeah it was kind of uh so yeah there is a um olivia this is the the dropbox link so
00:19:20.680 i wanted eva to talk about this because she's a lawyer she's so she's going to break this down
00:19:25.000 we were listening it was miller time um and this is actually a part of the second testimony that we
00:19:29.400 saw this was a panel of three uh these three individuals work directly with justin trudeau
00:19:34.360 this is a katie telford um crow and um someone else yeah the people just some people that work for pm
00:19:43.320 trudeau um but in any case um it was very important the things that happen um if that's ready
00:19:49.400 olivia we can throw to that if not then eva you can talk about it yes all right let's roll that clip
00:20:01.560 before i begin i have an issue that i need to address as you know and i've made applications several
00:20:09.160 times uh the disclosure in the record is entirely deficient we've been trying to deal with these
00:20:16.600 redactions um there's still redactions for parliamentary privilege which the government
00:20:21.800 has not removed uh there's no legal basis for as you've already ruled to redact any document
00:20:29.320 on the basis of parliamentary privilege uh there's also uh the issue uh as i've re-raised by email as
00:20:36.680 well um the issue with the notes of this witness uh the process that was used in dealing with that
00:20:43.080 uh needs to be reassessed uh these are important witnesses i need rulings and so does everyone here
00:20:53.080 the rulings on the redactions are so important and for example uh miss jody thomas testified um and said
00:21:02.280 that she supported the invocation of the emergencies act but there's a note that we got after we fought for
00:21:12.120 the one redaction we got that said jody thomas did not and it was put up on the screen it was notes taken
00:21:21.000 it had one section 39 redaction on it so if that's a cabinet document we can assume cabinet knew about it
00:21:28.120 and it states that section two no violence and they were trying to come up with a way
00:21:33.880 how to make this work anyway that would have been very helpful
00:21:37.640 to have when she was on the stand under oath this is happening constantly there is thousands of
00:21:47.560 documents the doj if you can i i'm not looking for a speech oh no i've just the the document went down
00:21:54.920 i'm not done i apologize
00:22:00.120 so thank you so and i understand that there was a consideration of a public welfare emergency right
00:22:06.520 that's very different than a public order emergency you know that there doesn't have to be a section
00:22:11.320 two security threat right and are you talking about what i'm not sure when you're talking about
00:22:18.280 we're talking about from covid because you said it was under consideration then they did look at the
00:22:22.680 emergencies act at that time and there was a public call for that at the time and it was determined
00:22:27.400 um because the prime minister was very reluctant as he was during the occupation
00:22:31.960 uh this past february to invoke it and um so there's been conversations on various occasions
00:22:38.920 about the emergencies act over time so when that note's taken on february 4th 2022 are you saying
00:22:46.200 that you're talking about it in relation to covid
00:22:51.400 i genuinely don't know what this note is as i've already said to you a few times okay so if i can
00:22:56.600 scroll up or down or up please or down but we'll go down down's fine
00:23:05.720 okay so that says flag to katie february 10th and it's written in there that this is irrelevant
00:23:15.400 what does that mean why is it irrelevant do you know because i don't know specifically i don't know
00:23:21.880 either i i could surmise that flag to katie means it's probably a bit of a to-do list of things she
00:23:27.640 wanted to flag to me okay they were obviously deemed irrelevant to what we are talking about today
00:23:32.920 okay and could we scroll down again and this one where it says staff blockade right and then it has
00:23:41.480 section 39 invoked do you know what that means i don't know why they invoked it there
00:23:47.240 right and so i take it when you were having this phone call there was no one else present on the
00:23:54.280 phone other than you and miss jackson was there i don't believe that this is a phone call any longer
00:23:59.240 well if we scroll back up this is the second page it's the way it said flag to katie at the top
00:24:03.480 katie okay and so on february 10th do you remember if miss jackson was in a meeting with cabinet
00:24:11.800 she is not normally in meetings with cabinet so how could section 39's cabinet confidence
00:24:19.320 so how can so it this is the problem those are my questions
00:24:29.720 i like how you just leave but yeah we'd love to know like a little bit more information about
00:24:35.800 why it's important that this was redacted and it should not be well it's yeah it certainly we let's
00:24:44.760 just start talking about accountability and transparency because that's where we ended off and
00:24:51.800 in my opinion that is the reason that canadians are getting frustrated with canada investors outside
00:24:58.440 of canada are getting frustrated with canada because of the lack of transparency and accountability
00:25:05.240 by canada by the government of canada and we're seeing it so clearly in this inquiry
00:25:12.600 so what we these are some of the documents that the government of canada has submitted
00:25:18.760 um and as you heard last week or it was earlier this week when you know that's infamously when brendan
00:25:25.080 was asked to leave is he was making asking that these motions that we've been demanded that they be made
00:25:33.320 made written and he was waiting for a ruling on the redaction because when it's made written
00:25:40.680 nobody knows about it in canada yeah this is on live television you've got lawyers for everybody
00:25:48.280 on call uh there's six government lawyers at times that can address these things on the spot that's what
00:25:55.160 lawyers do to request that parties do motions in writing is absurd to begin with in my opinion
00:26:02.600 yeah because we don't have the time for that we're in these hearings all day every day so when are you
00:26:08.680 expected to write a motion and then you wait for a ruling oral motions make the most sense in this
00:26:13.320 kind of setting so that's what he was trying to do that day with alex cohen say he he said he's in the
00:26:18.920 room i'd like to bring him as a witness and at that time commissioner rulo makes a decision what happens
00:26:24.920 though is when you make a decision any decision commissioner rulo makes is judicially reviewable
00:26:32.040 so we could take it to the court and then ask the court to decide whether or not that decision was
00:26:38.280 proper interesting when we don't have a decision you can't go to court and ask for an opinion
00:26:43.640 so it's you know we seem to be running the clock here and the government of canada has been excellent
00:26:50.680 not to provide a very clear and transparent disclosure of documents so you saw one of the
00:26:58.680 notes there half of it blanked out this is from an assistant to katie telford this isn't even katie
00:27:05.000 telford's notes herself and as katie telford said she's not normally probably never in a cabinet meeting
00:27:12.680 so why on earth is there a redaction that says section 39 that's cabinet confidence she has there's
00:27:22.280 no basis for that and with respect to irrelevance it's a decision of the opposite there's a negative
00:27:28.760 inference for that one there's also solicitor client privilege on so many of the documents
00:27:34.840 and when lameti was up yesterday he asked whether you gave uh instructions or talk to your client
00:27:43.400 about waiving the solicitor client privilege yeah and he said on the stand it's very weird for a lawyer
00:27:50.360 to be on the stand yes we know lameti keith wilson was on the stand but we have nothing to hide so our
00:27:56.840 clients were comfortable waiving solicitor client privilege to hear what the advice was from the lawyers
00:28:03.800 but this is especially concerning for canadians when now they're changing the legal definition of
00:28:11.080 national security threat and they're hiding behind solicitor client privilege it's appalling
00:28:19.480 and canada the federal government needs to be called out on this yeah this is zero transparency and
00:28:26.360 the frustration that we have is the commission is allowing it to happen they should be making rulings
00:28:33.160 they you know they they canada puts in tons of documents and council has raised you know why are
00:28:40.840 these documents going well we got them so we're putting them in that's not how it works yeah they
00:28:46.600 have 19 million dollars they have 20 lawyers you can make decisions that's why you're here you didn't
00:28:55.160 come here just to accept just to sit around and watch i think you came here to um structure a process yeah
00:29:04.680 and ensure that the mandate yeah of the commission is fulfilled and right now it's questionable whether
00:29:11.720 or not that's being fulfilled can we say that it's a bit i would say unlawful to do that well you know i i
00:29:20.520 don't know what the consequences are it's certainly not fulfilling the mandate of the commission so
00:29:25.080 why are we going through this again this is a lot of money for canadians and those participating and one
00:29:32.120 thing i could like just if you just think about it for a second this is why the federal government
00:29:38.360 justified the emergencies act who was on the stand the longest
00:29:42.440 former chief slowly on a municipal level he wasn't even at the chief at the time that it was enacted
00:29:52.200 or he was he resigned or whatever that day why on earth
00:29:58.360 was he on the stand for two days and commissioner lucky was on for i don't know what was it six hours
00:30:04.600 five hours this this is really good um i just want to say thank you for breaking that down and i'm sure
00:30:11.320 that the viewers uh find it very very helpful as well but it it goes as to exactly what you were
00:30:18.040 saying it's their job to put structure into this process and i have not gotten the sense as of late
00:30:24.600 that there has been much structure at all especially when you mentioned that they're supposed to be able
00:30:29.960 to give rulings yes so that that can be um looked over again right looked over again but if you can't
00:30:37.160 like you said if you can't actually make a decision if you can't do that you can't you can't go anywhere
00:30:41.960 from that no decisions can be made based off of rulings that haven't been haven't been decided on
00:30:49.080 like i said it's just absurd to have to do it in writing when all the lawyers are there and the
00:30:53.480 decision maker is there and we're on a tight timeline like we've heard this over and over oh yeah
00:30:57.640 i'm like why don't we talk about amber her child for a moment and johnny debt because
00:31:01.880 that was on national news and yeah what they did though and it was very smart you know the way
00:31:08.600 they managed it because they did evidence every day which the public was allowed to see and then
00:31:13.960 friday or saturday or whatever they had no cameras in the courtroom and they did procedural matters
00:31:20.680 mm-hmm so why aren't we doing that we're all here or on zoom that was something that the commission
00:31:27.240 could have set forward so that when procedural issues come up you're not getting shut down like
00:31:32.760 brendan was on tuesday yeah he's trying to make a motion but what was more important the schedule
00:31:39.240 not the truth not getting all of the information out not accountability not transparency but the
00:31:46.360 schedule i have the impression that they had to do it because it's written like to do to hold like a
00:31:53.960 public um or yes emergency commission and i just have the impression that they just want to get rid
00:32:00.280 of it and say that we were right to invoke the emergency it's done we prove it bye and we did this
00:32:08.600 process and that was part of freelance today well we live in such a great we live in such a place like
00:32:17.400 the way it was such a slow-paced talk as well but she was commending the process of the commission
00:32:25.320 yeah you can't commend it when now we're seeing the holes in it that the disclosure was came late
00:32:32.680 inadequate um purposely done and the government is known to do this but this was a government decision
00:32:40.600 and if we need if we're going to hold our government to account and if they're going to
00:32:47.960 if they believe they made the right decision then they should be able to prove that to canada and
00:32:53.160 they have not come to the table uh with good faith in my view absolutely yeah i have just a question for
00:33:00.280 you do you think that if they finally proved that it was an excess of views to invoke the emergency
00:33:08.040 that i think not only jacen trudeau should resign but christian freedom too i i think i think this
00:33:16.440 hasn't covered a lot of problems in our government in uh not just federally but um municipally and
00:33:23.640 provincially and with the policing and one thing that frustrated me throughout this whole process
00:33:30.200 is the thing we probably heard the most about is that they didn't have enough resources
00:33:36.920 resources and i don't think you could keep demanding more resources if you're ineffective
00:33:43.080 or incompetent and i think that's what we've been seeing so you could keep taking millions and
00:33:49.160 millions of dollars from canadians but if you are not effective and you're not competent you're gonna
00:33:55.080 get nowhere and there you have it ladies and gentlemen that was eva tipiak we have to throw to an ad
00:34:01.720 break soon but i want to thank you so much for coming on and for explaining that that was not only

00:38:35.000 people now yankee you watch the commission the entire day is that is that fair to say
00:38:45.960 that would be too much but um i did watch uh 90 percent of it um i watched a lot of it and
00:38:54.840 not just today but i've been watching it pretty much throughout i've skipped a few hours there here or
00:39:01.240 there um i but while i'm working i'm watching it and today this side it's and she lives in town
00:39:10.120 i'll come on and have and talk about it a bit um yeah tell me what was your biggest takeaway then 100
00:39:19.320 my biggest takeaway was the fox news thing where they're like bashing yeah and i know we mentioned
00:39:26.680 earlier that we're going to show it so i believe it's clip 10 let's show it and i'll talk 100 not
00:39:32.760 that every fox tattoo
00:39:38.440 and the fox news reference there is especially significant because many canadian banks have
00:39:47.080 significant operations in the united states and so having fox news attack you isn't
00:39:57.400 a problem only because canadians might be watching but if you have a big u.s operation it's a problem
00:40:04.920 because your american customers will be watching and i i do think that was a problem that was legitimate
00:40:15.640 to raise and and i was concerned about it and the fox news reference well that was fun
00:40:23.240 yeah bring it down yeah bring it down so i'll break it down first by saying i do live in florida as you
00:40:31.320 know i'm a dual citizen and i actually had a td canadian account and a u.s account it was cross-border
00:40:39.480 banking everything was nice and easy it's amazing uh but when the convoy happened i actually started to
00:40:47.240 cancel my td account um i know in the u.s and open a local bank i was like i don't trust td because i read
00:40:55.240 the ea back then and it said any companies doing business in canada need to follow now i didn't
00:41:01.720 think it will happen but i was like you know i'm not i'm not taking any chances i i you know
00:41:08.920 and and and that's what they were talking about and it's like i didn't see it on fox i i saw it when
00:41:13.960 christia freeland announced the ea and i read it that's when i saw that's the issue not fox news
00:41:20.920 announcing what the canadian government said they're gonna do yeah yeah but she said today
00:41:28.360 because i think is it uh an honor he asked yeah uh which order institution financial institution that
00:41:36.120 order um like bring in like who need to follow yeah and she say but the order was to all financial
00:41:47.000 institution in canada so it's kind of shocking yeah so it was for everyone and but then she said
00:41:53.320 we're glad that the need to be used she said we we gave them incentives to leave that's like no no
00:42:00.280 no that is not what incentives means just like she misquoted what banana republic means she's like
00:42:08.040 clip two let's play clip two it's the clip three for the banana republic is it is it three i think it
00:42:15.160 was so crazy it was like if you were watching my live tweeting today i i like i i would just quote
00:42:21.320 her like she said something along the lines of today it was like uh yeah ottawa was like a a tinder
00:42:27.640 keg waiting to explode or go out or spark i was like the array of words oh no when she said to lawyer
00:42:34.280 as well she was like i'm pretty sure that lawyers think that what i'm saying is very esoteric so yes i
00:42:39.640 heard that but but the funniest part was when she gave that weird laugh when the um when was it
00:42:46.040 the saskatchewan lawyer came on and he's like i hope that you'll answer my questions as nicely as you
00:42:51.720 answered the other guy and she laughed so weirdly i know i was like more my god this is like a laugh of
00:43:00.440 a witch oh yeah it was like a crow crow crow okay all right let's go to that clip three banana republic
00:43:10.280 that quote relayed to me really made me realize i had a duty of stewardship i have a duty i had at that
00:43:19.960 moment a very profound duty to canadians to stand up for them and i'm surprised that i'm getting emotional but
00:43:36.680 um i really felt it and i felt like um you know the canadian economy it could seem like this amorphous
00:43:45.320 thing investment it can seem amorphous ev incentives amorphous but when i heard that
00:43:52.840 i realized i'm the finance minister i'm the deputy prime minister i have to protect canadians i have
00:44:00.120 to protect their well-being it's being really really damaged so yeah that was a meaningful conversation
00:44:07.320 for me and that was a very memorable uh quote and for sure a spur to action you know if you didn't if
00:44:15.240 you didn't have any background information on who this individual was at all you know you might think
00:44:19.560 listening to that like this person really takes their job seriously she just got very emotional like
00:44:24.600 no lady we'd like for you to take your job more personally we'd like for you to not just sit there
00:44:29.640 and tell me that you're the finance minister but actually do what's in your job description to do
00:44:34.760 and it starts with being transparent and being honest it's i could go on but when she started
00:44:39.880 to get emotional just like she did when she was talking about electric car batteries that was like
00:44:45.720 seriously disturbing um yankee what do you think about this i i don't know like i'm pretty sure banana
00:44:53.080 republics refer to the government again and not to truckers so i'm not sure like if someone mentioned
00:45:00.600 that they don't want to invest in canada because it's a banana republic look in the mirror a hundred
00:45:07.000 percent that's a direct reflection it might be you i don't think it was the truckers you know and there's
00:45:14.360 also you know clip seven i believe where um they basically said oh biden made us do it
00:45:21.320 it after they spoke to biden that's an an honor clip um of alan honor speaking do we want to show it
00:45:31.240 studio yeah let's do that yeah we could do that absolutely this one is good too heard that that's
00:45:36.200 the ceos of two major banks contacted you canadian banks i believe and we also heard that uh president
00:45:42.600 biden who's probably the world's most powerful person or or near near that had a telephone call with
00:45:49.160 the prime minister yes both of those things are true and that telephone call it happened on a
00:45:55.800 friday and by the monday the emergencies act was invoked that's true okay and so i put it to you
00:46:03.720 minister that the federal government had to show the usa that they were in control and that explains
00:46:11.320 why the emergencies act was invoked despite the fact that for example the ambassador bridge was
00:46:17.400 cleared and opened to traffic no i wouldn't agree with that characterization okay well i would put
00:46:24.360 it to you that the pressure the government was under explains why the emergencies act was invoked
00:46:29.480 despite the fact that a deal had been struck with the protesters in ottawa to reduce the footprint
00:46:35.000 of the protest in that city again i would disagree with that well let's see if you would this would
00:46:41.800 agree with this i'd put it to you that there was no meaningful consultation with the provinces
00:46:46.440 not even advance notice of what the first minister's meeting was about and that's because the
00:46:52.040 government didn't have time for it they just had to make a decision about the emergencies act because
00:46:58.280 of the tremendous pressure that they were under again i disagree with a great deal of that
00:47:05.640 characterization one last question for you then miss freeland i put it to you that given the overwhelming
00:47:13.160 situation that the government was facing explains why they were willing to use extraordinary powers
00:47:19.720 against their own people despite the fact that no police agency or intelligence agency told them that
00:47:26.520 were there were threats to the security of canada again i
00:47:34.120 disagree with many of the premises in that question and i would be happy to elaborate but
00:47:39.720 it seems that we're out of time it would be happy to elaborate can you ask me a question can you ask
00:47:48.280 me a question seline ask me a question okay um thank you what was your takeaway from that
00:47:57.400 what premises did you find i disagree with the premise of that question seriously like it's so obvious
00:48:05.640 like we're getting down to the bone and by the way i think that that was a really strong cross by alan
00:48:09.880 honor i think that was one of his best to date in my opinion a hundred percent he did good don't
00:48:14.680 forget that she offered to provide a link to reflect her child during um her testimony today she was like yeah
00:48:25.800 you know i cannot uh uh answer the question but i can provide you a link that really explain
00:48:32.120 what i think yeah did you catch that she was like she was the premise of this because lady it's it's
00:48:38.840 the premise their premises that's not the right context but the premise of what she was trying to
00:48:43.400 say is that because she couldn't actually get her words out that she would like to be able to drop you
00:48:48.120 like a neural link like some elon musk sounding stuff and everyone was like did she really just say
00:48:54.920 that did she just insinuate that but she also said that she remembered the terry fox because she spoke
00:49:01.400 to with her kids and it's like on twitter you go on twitter and these these people like i just spoke
00:49:07.960 to my two-year-old and it's usually memes because the left used to say my my kid came home crying about
00:49:14.120 i don't know abortion or or some other things that kids don't know about like her kids really were
00:49:20.760 concerned about terry fox they don't even know who the guy is most likely um you know
00:49:28.920 yeah no i who knows stuff like that is um it's interesting to think about right um i i want to
00:49:36.360 recall that she actually mentioned too that she saw the entrance measure as a virtual toy truck
00:49:46.520 yeah so um actually suspending people's licenses to this lady was akin to um producing somewhat of a
00:49:54.600 virtual tow truck just the way that she spoke today was bewildering it was an incentive that's right
00:50:02.440 there are more clips i don't know if we could pull them up it's it's where the three stooges uh led by uh
00:50:08.840 katie telford um they asked about um us um um politicians there's not a clip but studio i sent
00:50:18.520 it to you earlier the second clip with a question the first one with a question mark can you bring it
00:50:23.960 up it's about them asking about the former president not naming president trump obviously and other
00:50:30.600 politicians that disagreed with um with um with well agree with the truckers disagree with the trudeau
00:50:40.440 government and and then there's another clip of alan honner again asking um about um about american
00:50:51.160 politicians sending um letters to the government and the government and i'm saying oh we don't know
00:50:57.400 we're not sure if we ever sent the to the prime minister perfect let's take a look this is an email
00:51:04.920 from a deputy jacques adam to deputy deputy minister jacques adam to deputy minister david morrison
00:51:11.640 i'm not sure if they're both from global affairs canada but the email sets out u.s political reactions
00:51:17.000 to canadian measures stated february the 16th and if we can just look at item number two here
00:51:23.080 um we see that there are different comments uh one of the comments here is canadian trucker is being
00:51:31.000 fired and now targeted as terrorist by your woke government and it is attributed to a u.s house of
00:51:38.360 representatives a member and uh there are other remarks from other politicians which are somewhat
00:51:46.120 uncomplimentary towards our country do you know if this document was ever brought to the prime minister's
00:51:52.680 attention i don't believe this document what this looks like an internal document at the department
00:51:58.040 of trade but prime minister we were all well aware that these views were being expressed by a certain
00:52:05.000 segment in u.s politics okay thank you very much certain segment more like 50 or 75 of the us
00:52:15.560 100 i mean it was enough people 100 that as you guys will recall there was a convoy that was inspired
00:52:23.400 by the original one here in ottawa that happened in the u.s we had embedded um rebel zone jeremy
00:52:28.920 lafredo as well you can check out all of his reports what is the url yankee it is convoyreports.com
00:52:34.840 it's the same url it's there you could scroll down you'll find it i thought it'd be different
00:52:40.120 because it's like the states you know we got to keep it separate apparently yeah it's the same
00:52:45.480 convoy report we also have the australian convoy over there and yeah exactly in the farmer rebellion
00:52:51.480 in middleland there you go yeah farmer rebellion yeah but we have again we've gone through this
00:52:59.400 during the testimonies i know that you guys have been keeping up you've seen this for yourselves
00:53:02.760 but we have been able to see through all of these different testimonies that um the government believes
00:53:08.440 that now the canadian flag stand maybe that's a broad term specifically the liberal deputy
00:53:13.080 minister cabinets uh um ministers and the the cabinet ministers believe that the canadian flag
00:53:19.240 has now um it's tainted it's impure it stands for a symbol of misogy exactly and of course it did
00:53:26.920 because it served as a reminder to the rest of the world as well that's why people fly the canadian
00:53:32.920 flag when they have their own convoys again inspired by the first one that happened here in ottawa
00:53:38.440 you know i i think it's no yeah go ahead go ahead i mean in hong kong when they were protesting for
00:53:43.960 freedom they were flying american flags um and usually places where the fight where they're
00:53:49.560 protesting for freedom they'll they'll they'll have their own country flag for sure but they'll also
00:53:54.040 have um american flags to symbolize freedom now they're symbolizing freedom with canadian flags that's
00:54:00.520 something that canadians should be proud of instead she's blaming the truckers into turning canada into
00:54:07.080 a banana republic and it's like yeah but you're so twisted and one of my good mom like the good moment
00:54:17.720 today it's when it's brendan miller say uh do tamar leach is a terrorist and so christia freeland are
00:54:30.120 already replied but i'm not the one who designate yeah tell who is a terrorist or not yeah and brendan
00:54:40.600 may miller afterwards break her into peace yeah can we we show the clip because it's just
00:54:48.760 it's just the perfect moment because she say oh but it's not me who decide i have nothing to do with
00:54:54.440 that i'm i'm uh i would i'm not a professional for doing that and this it is is tamara leach a terrorist
00:55:06.360 boom outright in terms of designating who is a terrorist and who isn't that is not my job as
00:55:14.200 minister of finance or deputy prime minister okay we have authorities whose job is to do that right and
00:55:20.280 so it's not your authority to designate tamar leach chris barber tom marazzo or danny bold for terrorists
00:55:26.200 that's somebody else has to do that yes we have we have intelligence services we have enforcement
00:55:35.240 agencies whose job is to determine who is a terrorist okay and there you say that you need to designate
00:55:43.240 the group as terrorists so
00:55:52.840 but it's not your job but you wanted to designate them as terrorists right so that handwritten note in
00:56:00.040 my notebook i can assure you that was not a meeting with the director of cesus that whom i didn't have a
00:56:07.720 meeting it says it's okay it's uh it's with david vigno from cesus it doesn't say that it says it's
00:56:16.440 with a gentleman called dave which dave that meeting that is not an account of which meeting with dave
00:56:26.120 vigno because i didn't have a meeting which dave is in with the cesus director which dave is in those
00:56:31.560 notes what's dave's last name i need to see my whole notebook that you're referring to but i can tell
00:56:37.480 you for certain i can tell you for certain that i did not have a meeting during this time with the
00:56:44.440 cesus director okay so i can exclude that a hundred percent so rumors are it's dave shrigley our uh web
00:56:53.880 editor no just kidding
00:57:01.160 but yeah it's not it can be him it's not him it's some other guy we don't know who but it's just
00:57:08.040 other guy yeah but i'm sorry but for something as important as we need to call or to name them
00:57:15.960 as terrorists i'm sorry i will recall who is that day yeah i think it's also it's just it's really
00:57:24.440 crazy i just want to add you know miller time every single day i think people just sitting on the edges
00:57:29.640 of their chairs waiting for this because it's the first time and he goes first now by the way obviously
00:57:34.760 he didn't before but now he does i think it's just like it's like soul reviving for all the
00:57:39.640 council so they're probably just like please go next please go first because we can't but i love
00:57:44.440 how he walks her into it he starts by you know asking do you think that these people are terrorists
00:57:50.920 do you oh well no it's not my job to delegate those sort of terms but you got someone for it um
00:57:56.520 and allegedly that is the yeah what dave what what other dave could it be beside david vignal the
00:58:02.280 director of cses please well well at least she didn't go over the route oh it was a joke we
00:58:08.680 didn't mean to actually bring tanks it was a joke she could have gone the joke line um about one will
00:58:17.240 do you know we just need one to scare people maybe a few shells we didn't put that apart but you know
00:58:23.480 maybe maybe we'll bring a tank show them we mean business and they'll run away maybe that's another
00:58:28.520 incentive and this is the problem with uh hand with that like uh hand writing paper notes yeah you
00:58:37.640 know you can write whatever you want it's just like all over the place and some people like have you
00:58:43.240 seen how hard it is to read what it is on the paper like it's just yeah i can read it worse than
00:58:50.920 chicken scratch this is one people do that because after after words like it's really difficult to read so
00:58:57.400 for the people if you bring these uh paper on court everybody would be like what is what is on the
00:59:04.440 paper can you imagine being that confident that you just write things like that down and you just
00:59:08.360 think like my hands are clean no one's ever going to look at this no one will ever ask me about what
00:59:12.600 i have written on this note in front of me yeah but you know another thing what you need to remember
00:59:17.560 is like i've been in meetings that have um you know written notes of bullet points not every point that
00:59:24.360 gets made enters into the enters into these bullet point um things it's only the most important quote
00:59:33.880 unquote things so it's like what did they skip what didn't they even put into these notes what did they
00:59:40.920 say that you're like don't even mention don't even write it down that's what i want to know
00:59:47.000 no yeah the the speculation around that is actually scary because if i mean again it's like when we see
00:59:53.320 you posted this on your twitter uh you screen recorded an entire segue of documents i don't know
00:59:59.880 if you can show that but i think yeah it's um i think it was sent there it's it's a link to alexa's
01:00:05.800 twitter and it's it's exactly that this watch as we scroll there are entire look totally redacted
01:00:12.680 what is on there i understand cabinet confidentiality like i get it but in this case as we just saw from
01:00:19.000 miller's cross that eva chipia broke down i'm not so so certain that all of that is exactly necessary
01:00:25.720 so i'm hoping that um that rulo actually makes a ruling so that this could be taken and we can
01:00:32.520 actually have a final like what is going to come out at the end of this because i was looking right
01:00:36.360 now yeah i'm gonna ask you that for our last question before we end this live stream this live
01:00:41.480 stream yankee what do you think the outcome is going to be from all of this from what we've seen
01:00:47.320 tomorrow's the last day trudeau has testified what's gonna happen so so what i i i see three
01:00:55.400 outcomes right one um rulo comes out and says um trudeau was wrong no question about it i doubt that
01:01:06.360 will happen two i see an option which i think will happen rulo will say you know the the rules weren't
01:01:14.040 that clear um that's why i think he was allowed to do it although we should fix it for the future
01:01:21.000 here's like uh row of recommendations that you should fix and move on in life that's what i think
01:01:27.560 will happen third could be rulo saying um i think it was justified but i can't tell you well there's
01:01:36.440 actually four i think it was justified in here for a few reasons and in the fourth could be um
01:01:44.120 here's why it's justified but i can't tell you why because all of the redacted it's in the redacted
01:01:49.480 parts where it's actually justified so screw you um nobody knows so these are the four options what i
01:01:57.000 think will happen is a few recommendations and saying trudeau wasn't 100 wrong but he was a bit
01:02:04.600 wrong and just whitewash it that's what i think will happen i might be wrong though what do you
01:02:10.040 guess but in the same time in one of the message uh i don't know if it's like received by uh marco
01:02:17.000 l mendicino or is the one that was sending it but they actually say before the emergencies act that
01:02:25.000 the police have all the power and tool that's right to dismantle the blockade so why they went they
01:02:35.400 had not the same tool for ottawa when the blockade was even worse than in ottawa where peaceful
01:02:43.880 family was just hanging out all together i don't know i've been to a few protests in my life in
01:02:50.920 montreal alexa knows that they never needed a emergency act to to bash you over the head or
01:02:58.200 those were crazy guys they did it those were crazy so the emergency i i personally don't think emergency
01:03:04.840 act was needed or necessary but if you ask me how i think he's gonna rule that's what i think do i
01:03:12.680 think it was necessary absolutely not but if you ask me what i think will happen i know in government
01:03:19.640 seeing how the system goes that's what i think will happen yeah and i and i think that rulo's
01:03:25.080 kind of already he's already hinted to that you know today he made a comment because when brendan
01:03:29.400 miller was mentioning the fact that these things had been on let's say unlawfully redacted that that
01:03:34.680 things are not going according to how this submission is this commission is supposed to actually be
01:03:39.400 conducted rulo said in his ending comment that you know in his experience in the last 20 years that
01:03:45.000 he's been affiliated with being a lawyer or being in courts etc that usually it's not it's not easy
01:03:51.160 like the court court proceedings in general it's not easy working with the government it's not easy it
01:03:55.560 was inferred that way um yeah i think that's one of two options well look at doug ford the judge said
01:04:01.400 you should go but i can't force you because um yes cabinet comfort comfort reality and and and and that's what
01:04:12.200 happened you couldn't do anything the judge said you should go but i can't make you go and i think
01:04:18.200 the same is with these government documents it's like it's it's you should unredact them but you know
01:04:25.560 i can't really force you yeah it's like at this point no because it was the federal government's job
01:04:30.840 in the first place to be able to collect every facet of the truth right when you have it within the scope
01:04:35.640 of the federal lens i'm in a lawsuit with the montreal police right now i don't want to go into
01:04:43.720 much detail but we do have a documentary coming and and in that we got to disclose a lot of things
01:04:50.920 they want to know things that they know they have like they want correspondence that i had with the
01:04:57.320 montreal police and i have to provide them although they have them because i emailed them they're like no
01:05:02.440 no no we want them from you we want to see if your records match our records they want to find
01:05:07.400 anything they can right so but here with the government they you know they're just like oh we
01:05:13.880 can't show you bye yeah no it's crazy but by the way what do you think that all this will end up like
01:05:22.360 what will come out of all this commission um yeah you know it's so scary when people ask me this because i i
01:05:31.560 don't want to like project my own thoughts and feelings and you know some people come up to me
01:05:35.480 even in the commission room and they're like you know we got this or they're like oh this is really
01:05:39.720 damning like there's no way that you know trudeau is gonna you know he's just gonna get a slap on
01:05:43.800 the wrist and and i think both points are valid yankee you have four options i'm just gonna narrow
01:05:49.080 mine down to two and say that uh my first um first option that i think is gonna happen i actually
01:05:56.760 think that he's gonna say that it was unnecessary um i i think i didn't have that opinion before the
01:06:03.640 start of this week but seeing the cabinet ministers testify has been extremely damning and i don't know
01:06:09.720 how anyone regardless of your political standpoint or how you thought about the convoy i don't think
01:06:14.520 anyone could turn on that commission watch it and not be absolutely blown away by the conduct or
01:06:21.240 lack thereof um in which the ministers have been portraying themselves the things that they're
01:06:26.120 saying or not saying their behavior is ridiculous and it points to a very big issue that we have in
01:06:30.920 canada so just simply on their on their bad acting i mean they're not getting enough um personal drama
01:06:39.400 lessons from uh prime minister trudeau over there that's for sure that was your first one but your
01:06:44.040 second one oh yes number two number two it's a sham and it's a setup and he's gonna be like don't do
01:06:50.200 that again that was kind of bad but i understand why you needed it but no more you know go for your
01:06:56.920 time out you know i want to say who the stupidest person on so far was but you go ahead now
01:07:08.120 from the truth yeah but i would just bring my only concern at this moment is the lack of media coverage
01:07:16.600 more you have coverage of the commission more that put pressure and more you show evidence now what we
01:07:24.840 see is like a really big lack and so people are forgetting that you have a commission that is
01:07:31.560 happening right now and it seems that nobody care because nobody care because they are not going to
01:07:37.880 internet and watch it online yeah they are waiting that the media bring that to their television that is
01:07:45.000 not what is happening and i see it especially in quebec the mainstream media they almost like they will
01:07:52.680 bring it like in the corner like really fast and i have the impression that i don't know if it's a
01:07:58.440 tactic that nobody really get interested into the commission but i think this will do the fact that
01:08:07.160 no pressure from the media uh from the media so at the end of the day you know media is it's the
01:08:14.840 first power in in a democracy because it can bring to change every decision yeah and and now i have just
01:08:25.640 the impression that just because of that maybe we will not see what we are expecting from the commission
01:08:33.400 and just to play off of your point yankee if i um i would olivia if we could play one last clip
01:08:39.320 i just want to show you me too brother me too albert is calling but i i want to i want to show a clip
01:08:48.120 of the questions that i asked to christia freeland that did not get answered because of this is the
01:08:53.720 this is exactly i'm building off of exactly what you just said media coverage yes and we need that but
01:08:59.400 we also need politicians that will answer questions from their constituents that's what we need and
01:09:05.320 they're not doing it let's roll that clip if it's ready
01:09:10.200 miss freeland in hindsight was it worth invoking the emergencies act to trample on the rights and
01:09:15.800 freedoms of fellow canadians was it worth invoking the emergencies act ma'am to trample on the rights
01:09:20.280 and freedoms of canadians do you have a comment on that ma'am
01:09:22.360 and then you hear you can hear william at the end he's like why did you call them terrorists
01:09:39.080 so yeah i mean you know i also asked her if she would resign if she would commit to resign
01:09:44.280 invocation the emergencies act yeah you know it's um but my question was related to if she she was
01:09:51.000 aware that a woman had been trampled by a horse during the dismantlement it didn't happen it just
01:09:57.400 didn't happen because the person candace was there today i know i know and in the commission
01:10:06.520 the one that she'd been trampled by a horse seeing christia freeland trying to defend the action that was
01:10:15.880 put in place during these two days so she see that christia freeland she had actually agreed that
01:10:23.960 it's good that she was trampled by a horse yeah you see i'll tell you what actually happened because i um
01:10:31.800 i i was watching ottawa police's twitter account what actually happened was a person took a bike and
01:10:39.240 threw it through it to on a horse i saw it on their twitter account i believe it's still on there
01:10:45.640 but i'm obviously joking but that's when it happened when it happened you you guys weren't well saline
01:10:55.000 wasn't you were probably in coots or somewhere alexa was busy filming i was busy monitoring social media i was
01:11:02.760 home and what they said at the time was that that uh a protester threw a bike at a police horse and
01:11:10.440 uh and then the video
01:11:14.680 it was a woman in a walker being trampled by cops that's what actually happened and i don't think
01:11:21.240 they ever corrected that record probably not but and you know it's like it it's bad if it happens to
01:11:27.640 anybody it's it's inexcusable but it was an older woman holding a walker for support yeah like like
01:11:37.960 she had something to actually help her physically stand and that was the person that was trampled in
01:11:43.880 addition to another one take a look for yourself i mean it's really shocking to see um i've seen the
01:11:51.160 clip so many times and there's honestly there's it's almost like i i just want to be numb to it i want
01:11:55.880 to disconnect from the fact that that took place in my in my in my country i was in the city
01:12:02.120 yeah you're in the city absolutely you know what what is more shocking is like the siu they dropped
01:12:10.600 the um investigation because they say that the injury was not enough right right serious yeah
01:12:18.680 try doing it the other way around and tell me how not serious it was of course it's serious it's
01:12:25.000 assault 100 it is so all you can end this kind of investigation okay maybe the injury was not she
01:12:34.360 she's not been killed she wasn't like yeah lost one of her member of her body yeah but the ps uh
01:12:43.480 like the trauma after and and and and she told me that she was really in pain when i saw her and and she
01:12:51.640 had like the harm i don't know how you say it she was in a sling she would have been in a sling and
01:12:56.360 a cast probably if her arm was up like she wasn't seriously injured but the way they did it if the
01:13:02.280 horse's foot would have hit somewhere else could have been a different outcome just because she wasn't
01:13:09.720 seriously injured doesn't mean that what they did was wrong they they pulled a move that could have
01:13:15.960 killed her 100 the other guy that was never identified uh yeah that's really weird like
01:13:23.160 that's kind of scary though at the same time like i'm not i'm not assuming obviously that
01:13:27.800 he died or it was actually that severe no no you know someone who didn't want it to be public and
01:13:32.920 they just disappear and fair enough i think that's what happened yeah it's one of two things i i believe
01:13:39.560 it was someone who didn't want to be identified either because he didn't want to lose his job or be
01:13:44.120 known that he was there or he was an undercover cop and he just brushed it off can you imagine
01:13:51.480 honestly just karma though just karma they're like go in there infiltrate that crowd and he's like are
01:13:56.360 those the horses sorry that's like you know but seriously i believe it was someone that did not want
01:14:04.920 to be identified and and the government didn't want to like say oh is this guy because the government
01:14:10.680 didn't want to even uh acknowledge that this whole thing happened so yeah it just went away from from
01:14:15.800 both ends i i believe most likely it was just a private citizen but who knows but i believe he just
01:14:22.280 went away yeah probably it's what i think too the stupidest person in the i don't know if in the cabinet but
01:14:31.240 the stupidest person tell us tell us how you really feel is omar al gabra oh yeah i yeah i wasn't that is
01:14:40.600 not the brains behind this master plan that is very apparent this man just i i saw a um a lawyer for the
01:14:49.560 jccf his face when omar was just going on and on and literally just quoting irrelevant things spewing
01:14:56.680 irrelevant facts and and being very blasé as if he was like i'm the man right now listen to my little
01:15:02.520 press conference this is great the lawyer was eating it up it was crazy i know well well this
01:15:10.040 i also think he made the the stupidest comment from anyone you know freeland got himself out for
01:15:16.600 herself up from answering questions and others did as well you know you go around you don't answer
01:15:21.400 they're used to it but he messed up and he said it was yesterday was i i i clipped that one video i've
01:15:28.920 clipped a handful of videos the rest was marizio clipping all of the videos that you have seen almost
01:15:34.840 all of them there's a front of you everyone but it's marizio been yeah and and and he he had he had
01:15:41.640 been busy so i did that one it was the the one where he said basically that all the the mandates caused
01:15:47.480 all the economic issues not he didn't say it was covet he said the coven mandates caused all the issues
01:15:54.520 that happened and i think that that is the truth but him admitting it makes him the stupidest person
01:16:01.400 of course and you know and we wow shocker right yeah shocker it's like it's like when they talk about
01:16:07.960 the like specifically yes like his department transport a minister of transportation when they
01:16:13.800 talk about the real human impacts that those five six trucks had parked beside the border and then
01:16:20.360 they negate to actually bring up the real human impacts from the last two years it's exactly that
01:16:27.000 yeah and he admits it because they know it too they know it yeah so so it's like they keep talking
01:16:33.240 about blockades that were there for two three days by windsor was a week right and and they keep
01:16:39.640 blaming windsor of you know it was it was millions of dollars that's only we had to clean up ottawa
01:16:47.400 because windsor but windsor was already cleaned up by the time they involved the emergency yeah so nothing
01:16:53.080 adds up right yeah and it's just like this circle they keep going and it's like you guys logged down and
01:17:02.120 and that goes to former um ottawa um mayor as well you guys logged the city down logged the province down
01:17:10.760 logged the country down and you and you think it's like oh it's just okay like people can't protest
01:17:19.000 they're like terrorists if they protest like you actually logged the place down and it's just ridiculous
01:17:28.520 that they think that oh um the protest that didn't really lock anything down just was uncomfortable
01:17:34.200 for a lot of people was the worst thing to ever have but it brings us also the the fact that the

01:24:39.960 miss an update yes well there you have it folks thank you so so much for tuning in thank you for
01:24:46.120 your support and as david menzies likes to say stay safe
01:24:50.200 i have to say that i disagree with the premise of the question i think canada is a very transparent
01:25:03.320 democracy and in fact the commission that we're part of right now is a part of canadian transparency
01:25:12.040 that's why it's important and on that point if i told you that there is a whole bunch of
01:25:16.200 unlawfully redacted documents that we've been fighting over and waiting for an order just to
01:25:21.400 get them today and we haven't had them for this whole proceeding do you think that's transparent
01:25:30.280 again and with apologies i can't agree with the premise of the question i think that but what i can say
01:25:38.360 is i think that the fact that this commission exists that these hearings are being held that they're
01:25:45.400 public is really important for canada and is a measure of canadian transparency
