Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the Rebel News daily live
00:00:20.120 stream. I'm Dakota Christensen and joining me today, Adam Sose. I'm filling in for Sheila
00:00:25.320 Gunn-Reed, who's normally here on Mondays, but at the moment, she's currently off on a very
00:00:29.880 exciting adventure of ours to do a little bit of filing of a human rights complaint against
00:00:36.780 Justin Trudeau. More on that to come, but first, Adam, how's it going with you over in Calgary?
00:00:41.940 Wonderful. Happy to be here. I think this is the first time we're doing this together,
00:00:44.660 so I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, yeah, this would be good. You know what? Sometimes we've
00:00:48.240 got to switch up the schedule, and I'm always happy to do so because it's good to switch things
00:00:52.040 up, have some different interactions with different characters in the cast here at Rebel
00:00:56.500 News, so yeah, I'm looking forward to this. This is good. So, as I sort of alluded to there,
00:01:04.220 Sheila is currently off on her mission in Geneva, and another thing is also going on in Europe right
00:01:10.460 now. Our London correspondent, Louis Brackpool, he is back in the Netherlands actually covering
00:01:17.660 the farmers' uprising there because that's sort of been revitalized. There's a little more action
00:01:23.400 going on with the farmers who have been pushing back against the Dutch government's nitrogen emissions
00:01:31.160 cap, which has been forcing farmers to reduce their production. They're having to, you know,
00:01:37.540 call livestock, reduce the amount of fertilizer they're using, it's reducing output of crops,
00:01:42.620 whole disaster, and that's also coming for Canada, which Trudeau has announced. His
00:01:47.400 wonderful Liberal cabinet. So, it's great to have another rebel back on the ground there to cover
00:01:53.800 all the action going on in the Netherlands. I don't know, Adam, if you've got any thoughts on
00:01:56.800 that. I think it's exciting to see Louis back out there covering this. It's such an important issue
00:02:01.660 that is going to be affecting all of us very soon. Yeah, for sure. I just want to encourage folks,
00:02:06.540 before we sort of get rolling here as well, to engage with us on the different sort of platforms
00:02:11.060 that are available out there. If you do a paid chat, we'll interact with them as the show moves
00:02:16.140 along. One, it kind of makes us a sort of connected experience for us with you. One of the reasons
00:02:21.760 we do these sort of daily shows is so that we can have that conversation, the live reaction to
00:02:26.580 unfolding stories. And one of my favorite parts is really towards the end of the show, and we get
00:02:30.180 that feedback, whether it be things they'd like us to address or their comments on current stories
00:02:36.180 that we're talking about. It's great to really get that back and forth. So, encouraging people to do
00:02:40.140 that as well. Yeah, you know, the situation with the Dutch farmers, very obviously reminiscent and
00:02:47.400 to an extent inspired by the events that unfolded here in Canada with our own trucker rebellion.
00:02:54.040 But it's, the bizarre thing here is the stalemate, the stalemate sort of implies both sides are at an
00:03:00.460 impasse. But I don't know if that's necessarily fair, because what's happened here is the government
00:03:05.440 has completely shifted the paradigm. They've introduced an impossible circumstance and
00:03:10.920 they've not, they're not starting from a level playing field. They've brought something in that
00:03:14.660 will devastate farms, devastate livelihood, similar to some of the COVID-19 restrictions, travel
00:03:19.680 mandates, all that stuff. The truckers responded to that taking place. Now these farmers are responding
00:03:24.520 to their industry being attacked. So the sort of blanket statement that it's an impasse, well,
00:03:30.320 it's an impasse because the government has suddenly said, well, 30% of your livelihood is basically gone.
00:03:37.880 It's the equivalent of the government suddenly taking away 30% of our equipment. Like, I don't
00:03:43.040 have a camera right now. You have a camera and I have a mic and you don't have a mic. It's such a
00:03:47.800 fundamental. And I mean, for most people, they maybe don't understand what a 30% cut in fertilizer
00:03:53.480 means. But it's like losing 30% of everything because that is such an integral part. Sheila could
00:04:00.400 certainly testify to this as she has that farming experience. But if you take that away, that means
00:04:05.300 a 30% loss of yields. It means a 30% of loss of all these others in investments. Some people have
00:04:11.240 basically got all the other equipment in place. They've invested massively. Some of these farmers
00:04:16.000 have massive loans in place in order to be paying off equipment that they can only make these payments if
00:04:22.020 they're outputting at maximum capacity. Now, farmers sometimes have a bad year, 10, 20% down,
00:04:27.740 really bad years, even more. But they count on these years where there's good sort of rain or
00:04:33.060 there's good weather. The last thing they need is another 30% hit, particularly when the world is
00:04:39.260 dealing with food shortages. There's instability, wars, all that sort of stuff going on. And we've
00:04:44.800 completely lost the plot when we're thinking that this is okay. For anyone out there paying attention
00:04:49.880 to this, this should be extremely alarming. Because when there's 30% less bread, when there's 30% less
00:04:55.600 food, that's just going to mean more inflation. It's devastating, not just for these farmers,
00:05:01.740 but it's going to ripple throughout all of society. And it's so important that Lewis is there on the
00:05:06.080 ground now because Justin Trudeau is planning on doing this here in Canada. After this response,
00:05:11.520 after international outcries, after concerns from experts and specialists in the field,
00:05:16.220 Justin Trudeau is like, you know what, I think we're going to do this in Canada too. It's madness.
00:05:20.700 Yeah. I mean, it's so clear, I think, the sort of fingerprints of the World Economic Forum's,
00:05:26.680 you know, Agenda 2030 and all this sort of top-down globalist governance that's happening there.
00:05:31.360 Because it's not like Trudeau is looking over at the Netherlands and saying, oh, wow, you know what,
00:05:35.740 that looks great. They're having such a great time there. This is what we should be doing. It seems
00:05:40.200 pretty clear that there is some coordination there in terms of, no, this is the agenda that's being put
00:05:44.280 forward by the World Economic Forum and those who run in those circles. And then these government
00:05:48.820 leaders who, you know, subscribe to that, Trudeau very much at the forefront of them,
00:05:53.700 is saying, you know what, yeah, we're going to push this agenda. We need to force the farmers to
00:05:57.840 produce less food to save the planet. And essentially, that just means pain for literally everyone,
00:06:03.600 the entire sort of ecosystem of our food and our economy, you know, on top of already the
00:06:09.240 completely unsustainable money printing and spending and inflation, all that. It's all compounding.
00:06:15.120 And it's like, are they trying to just make everyone miserable? I mean, of course, if you look
00:06:19.220 at the World Economic Forum, and of course, you've got a great docuseries on that, all leading up to
00:06:24.220 the YOLO nothing and you'll be happy. Government controls everything. And no, I'm sorry, guys. It's not
00:06:29.740 just a theory. It is a conspiracy. There are conspiring people, but it's not just a theory.
00:06:34.300 Yeah, no, it's a fact. Exposethereset.com or .ca for that. One of those two.
00:06:39.340 One of them. Incredible work being done there. But yeah, the thing that's so sort of creepy about this
00:06:45.820 is just how ideological it is. These people are religious zealots for this stuff. And early on,
00:06:52.120 when we started hearing about some of this stuff, I made the sort of comparison. And I was like,
00:06:56.540 well, we're not quite there yet. But you look at the great leap forward under Mao Zedong that led to
00:07:01.320 the death of millions and millions of people. The technology wasn't there. Everything in society,
00:07:07.580 all of the evidence was this isn't going to work and people are going to die. But these big
00:07:11.440 government institutions, like I'd suggest the Communist Party or present day the World Economic
00:07:17.160 Forum, not that their values align exactly, but they do not care about, well, there's food shortages.
00:07:23.040 They're like, we don't care. We're instituting our principles. They're like, well, these farmers are
00:07:27.180 going to die and lose their farms. We don't care. This is the new world that we're seeing moving
00:07:31.320 forward. They've seized this opportunity, as they say, which is, in other words, they're happy to
00:07:37.420 further human suffering if it aligns with their final goals. It's extremely alarming to see.
00:07:43.800 And I'm very grateful, sort of, as you mentioned, to have people on the ground,
00:07:47.600 holding these people accountable and shining a light on it. Because you can literally talk to people
00:07:52.240 who are well-informed and watch, well, well-informed, but who watch news, generally mainstream,
00:07:58.080 pretty regularly. And you talk about the Dutch farmer rebellion, or you even reference what
00:08:02.200 happened with the trucker sort of resistance that took place in Canada here. And they think it's not
00:08:07.200 a particularly big deal. They don't know about the massive crowds, the farmers, the protests going on
00:08:13.380 all over the world, very often inspired by the things in Canada. And that's people are in our own
00:08:17.900 backyard. So there's definitely a disconnect from the real world. Most of these people,
00:08:22.680 they're the types of people who think that farming is a novelty, and that they just get their food from
00:08:27.680 the grocery store. So who needs farmers? Well, they don't get that the farmers put it in the grocery
00:08:33.040 store. So yeah, it's so important. This is one of those, COVID-19 was clearly one of them as well.
00:08:40.180 But this attack on farmers is the sort of next step. And there is no clear-cut emergency. They say
00:08:48.960 there's a climate emergency. But there is no clear-cut emergency, like a looming pandemic here.
00:08:55.280 They're just doing this. And it is dire, and it is extreme. Again, not surprising, though,
00:09:00.280 here in Calgary, we're still under a state of emergency, according to GOT Gondek, which means
00:09:05.260 absolutely nothing. But they're great at creating emergencies and panic. And then they don't seem
00:09:11.640 to generate any realistic outcomes other than punishing working class people. Yeah, punishing,
00:09:16.400 you know, everyday ordinary folks. And then, of course, more government control, more government
00:09:21.020 power. Of course. Yeah. I mean, it's also, I think it's really great to have someone on the ground
00:09:25.740 there specifically because, like, I really want to highlight the point that what's so fascinating about
00:09:30.160 what's happening in the Netherlands is that not just that this is happening, not just that the
00:09:33.500 government is imposing these absolutely insane restrictions, but the fact that the people are
00:09:38.620 fighting back, like they are rising up and, like, they've been pushed to the point here where they're
00:09:43.360 literally, like, so desperate. These are people losing everything. The government is forcing these
00:09:49.100 farmers to lose everything. And they've said, you know, like, at this point, what more do we have to
00:09:52.820 lose? And they're rising up, of course, not violently. They're, you know, it's very admirable just how
00:09:58.360 direct they're able to act and protest without crossing any sort of line into violence,
00:10:03.120 especially considering just how desperate that they are. But it's the same sort of thing I think
00:10:08.220 we saw in Canada with the truckers protests all across Canada, both in Ottawa and at the Coutts border.
00:10:14.000 And it's just, it's sort of remarkable to see. And so I love seeing all the coverage that we've had so
00:10:19.980 far from our previous trip there of seeing this, you know, this uprising, this farmers rebellion,
00:10:25.120 pushing back against these policies. And I'm looking forward to seeing, you know, continuous
00:10:29.700 coverage from Lewis as far as where this goes now. Like, you're saying they're at an impasse,
00:10:33.620 like, from here, where do they go? Will there be any, you know, give from the government? How far
00:10:39.420 will the farmers go if they're not, you know, if their demands aren't met to actually, you know,
00:10:43.860 have some reasonable governance in this situation? And like, the other thing too, that's so important
00:10:48.660 with having people on the ground actually showing what's happening versus what the mainstream media
00:10:53.720 does is if we and other independent media outlets weren't on the ground in Ottawa and weren't at
00:11:00.120 Milk River, weren't at Coutts, weren't covering all these stories, the vilification narrative might
00:11:05.420 have worked. Like, they might have believed that the old lady with the mobility scooter attacked the
00:11:09.520 RCMP. We had cameras there. It's so important to have independent media that doesn't lie and cover
00:11:16.800 up what's really happening because eventually the government never does fall apart. Eventually,
00:11:21.240 everyone sees that footage and the truth gets out. So beyond just sort of covering this, beyond
00:11:26.900 reporting what's happening, if there are politicians out there spreading misinformation,
00:11:32.720 while having an independent journalist who are showing the actual action on the ground with boots
00:11:38.300 on the ground prevents those sort of abuses that are basically propaganda campaigns to vilify people
00:11:44.140 who are being completely peaceful. So I think it is important to have that sort of, that angle covered as
00:11:49.580 well. So these people aren't vilified and marginalized. Because we saw it was so peaceful.
00:11:55.240 When you went to these types of events, everyone was welcoming and warm. We've had politicians,
00:12:01.060 even federal leadership candidates saying, like Dr. Leslie Lewis, saying, like, I'm a black woman and I
00:12:06.040 walked alone through these people. I was getting cheered at, offered food. There wasn't any racism.
00:12:11.520 There wasn't any violence. It was the most peaceful and friendly protest that many people have seen,
00:12:17.120 despite the sort of gravity of the situation. So yeah, great to have that. Another sort of stand
00:12:25.100 that is being taken. And this is very much an extension of the conversation as well, though.
00:12:29.580 But let's talk a little bit about what Sheila's doing.
00:12:31.900 Yeah, I was just going to say, let's get into that. Because, you know, the reason I'm here
00:12:35.740 coming for Sheila is she is currently on a mission at the behest of Rebel News, filing a formal
00:12:42.200 complaint against Justin Trudeau, you know, speaking of human rights abuses, with the UN Human Rights
00:12:48.380 Council in Geneva. Now, you know, some people, I mentioned this and they say, well, you know,
00:12:52.420 that's, you know, the UN, you're really going to go to the UN and think you're going to find any
00:12:56.000 justice with them. But, you know, the more I think about it, you're like, you know, why not try?
00:12:59.940 Like, we're at a point now, why not throw it out there? Because, I mean, Adam, why don't you help
00:13:04.400 recap a little bit? Just over the past couple of years, everything Justin Trudeau has done,
00:13:09.340 the persecution we've seen here in Canada, the, you know, the cast of characters who have become
00:13:14.100 political enemies of the state simply for standing up for fundamental rights, and sort of the denial
00:13:19.880 that so many of us in this country are living in, the fact that Trudeau really is turning into this
00:13:25.120 tyrant where he is trying to crush his political opposition, and so much of the world
00:13:29.860 is thankfully, I think, seeing it now, but there are still so many who just see him as this
00:13:33.760 progressive wonder boy. So, yeah, and I think the number of people seeing him as a progressive
00:13:39.360 wonder boy is rapidly declining. He certainly still likes to brand himself that way, but you
00:13:45.860 talked about the people who have been vilified, marginalized again, some of them, the truckers,
00:13:51.200 some of them, the folks down at Cootes Milk River, some of them, the Ottawa truckers, but it's
00:13:55.860 such a wide array of people. You have Tamara Leach as well, who was a very peaceful Métis woman who
00:14:04.340 had had enough and sort of took a stand, but not like an aggressive, outspoken person. Similar along
00:14:11.560 the lines with her, you had people like Pastor Tim Stevens and Pastor James Coates who were arrested,
00:14:17.820 and they very calm, collected people. They didn't really do anything to garner the ire of government
00:14:25.240 officials any more than the mosques that weren't obeying the rules, but they were certainly targeted
00:14:31.800 for selective enforcement. And then there's obviously, and as we're looking at the video now,
00:14:37.360 the story of Pastor Artur Poplowski, who I believe out of the majority of these people has probably spent
00:14:43.160 the most day behind bars, certainly the most days in isolation, solitary confinement,
00:14:49.520 has endured repeated dramatic arrests, including roadside arrests, arrests on the tarmac at the
00:14:56.660 airport, SWAT-style arrests at his home, and then these horrible conditions being made a villain and public
00:15:04.280 enemy number one. Now, the majority of these people were opening their church, allowing people to gather,
00:15:09.440 feeding the homeless. Like, many churches forgot this, unfortunately, but people's needs don't
00:15:15.260 decline when things get difficult, especially spiritual needs. They increase, and people need
00:15:20.560 those networks of support more than ever. So, these people during COVID-19 weren't willing to compromise
00:15:27.020 and undermine those networks, whether it be Tamara Leach standing with people, whether it be any of
00:15:34.220 these pastors. There's pastors out east right across this country, however, who are targeted.
00:15:38.740 Then there was small business owners. Now, if you were at Costco or a Walmart, you were fine,
00:15:42.960 but if you were Chris Scott at the Whistle Stop, a tiny little shop that people fill up and get there,
00:15:49.300 we probably wouldn't have heard the name the Whistle Stop in our lifetimes had they not sought to make
00:15:54.220 an example out of the small business owner. It was like, no, I'm going to stay open. But there is such
00:15:59.180 a wide array of people, but the crux, the similar factor between all of them was when they started to be
00:16:05.360 bullied by the government. They said, no thanks. And then they were barraged with just a campaign
00:16:11.020 of malicious and volatile hatred by everyone from Justin Trudeau to Jason Kenney to Alberta Health
00:16:20.480 Service lawyers. Like, it was all the way through the government from the top down. We saw similar
00:16:25.880 things out east as well, but it was just a totally encompassing effort to destroy anyone who dared to ask
00:16:33.200 questions on any of these fronts. And I think Canadians were maybe a little bit, I don't know if it was
00:16:38.360 a state of disbelief or disconnected from it, probably not the folks watching the stream, but some Canadians
00:16:43.980 out there, they didn't get the grandeur of these abuses. Meanwhile, we see Pastor Arthur Pawlowski's image
00:16:51.420 in Times Square. We see Americans saying, look at Canada, it's a cautionary tale for what's going to happen here.
00:16:57.400 We saw other countries, there's countries all over the world, whether it be Australia, whether it be the
00:17:02.620 Dutch farmers now, that are raising the Canadian flag as this symbol of people taking a stand against
00:17:09.720 great oppression. We have seen fundamental human rights violations. Now the courts are starting to
00:17:15.680 get it right. We've seen Pastor Arthur Pawlowski handed categorical victory after victory. There's
00:17:21.120 another victory to report today. In fact, that report will be out soon, extending from that dramatic
00:17:26.560 airport arrest. Those charges have been completely dropped. So stay tuned for that update. But Chris
00:17:31.460 Scott granted an almost entire victory. And we're certain to hear some of these charges being dropped
00:17:36.840 against Tim Stevens based on this precedent. But the winds are coming. But the fact is these violations
00:17:43.280 that were clear, categorical constitutional violations, and the courts, the court of appeal have,
00:17:49.640 in Alberta at least, have acknowledged that the Justice Adam Germain sanctions, which basically meant
00:17:55.800 that Chris Scott, Arthur Pawlowski couldn't speak without stating a declared government position,
00:18:01.740 couldn't leave the province, all these things, they've been admitted as clear violations of
00:18:08.240 constitutional rights, and therefore fundamental human rights. Now, to your point about, well,
00:18:15.980 what's the UN really going to do for us? Well, you know, towards the end of the Pastor Arthur Pawlowski
00:18:21.220 and Chris Scott proceedings, where Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers and Chad Williamson of Williamson Law
00:18:26.500 were advocating for those two clients and received a pretty big win. The Canadian Civil Liberties
00:18:31.620 Association, which has been basically shushed on this across the board and hasn't really come out,
00:18:37.900 was actually sort of an observer or they sort of co-filed. So they were putting their weight behind
00:18:44.520 the position that these people's rights were, in fact, infringed upon. So as the narrative shifts now,
00:18:50.680 and I know it can be challenging, there can be an inclination towards being vindictive,
00:18:55.100 but I think that there's a lot of merit in showing up at the UN, putting your cards on the table,
00:19:01.620 saying all the courts are beginning to agree there was human rights violations here.
00:19:06.120 I think this is a win-win, and I think it's so important that Sheila is there. Because on one hand,
00:19:11.360 if they fail to act on this, and they don't acknowledge that there was a human rights violation,
00:19:16.780 it is a categorical condemnation of the United Nations, and just proof now almost legal proof
00:19:23.740 with some of the rulings that we're having that they're unwilling to act. On the other hand,
00:19:27.880 if they do acknowledge this and they do take some meaningful action, it may rejig their thinking
00:19:34.640 and cast an important eye from this influential body towards the human rights violations that have
00:19:40.800 taken place. So if we could pull up the URL just on the page so folks can check it out,
00:19:46.140 it's obviously not cheap. Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers, who secured so many of these
00:19:51.200 Pastor Arthur Pawlowski wins, is with Sheila in Geneva. They went together and are working on this
00:19:58.240 petition, submitting it. And it's so important to have that strong legal basis. It's a massive document
00:20:05.840 that they've submitted, signed, and I believe it was approved and received by the United Nations.
00:20:11.180 Now, there'll be a video on that coming out surely soon. But I think it's so important to have that
00:20:17.340 strong sort of pushback. But these trips aren't cheap, obviously. So I do also encourage folks
00:20:24.220 to sort of help out, to chip in if you can, to help pay for the trip, the lawyering, all of this
00:20:30.820 important work that goes into it. If we could just pull up the webpage one more time,
00:20:34.960 so people know where to find that. Yeah. And I think it's so important there. Like you were
00:20:40.580 saying, we have one of the best legal minds we've seen here at Rebel News who put this together,
00:20:45.140 Sarah Miller, who was the one who secured that incredible victory for Pastor Art. But also,
00:20:50.460 if the UN does accept this and they are willing to make an official pronouncement that Trudeau has
00:20:57.980 violated human rights and to recognize it officially as a body, even if they can't take any significant
00:21:03.240 concrete action, if they managed, if they are willing to accept this and see it as, yes,
00:21:09.900 Justin Trudeau has been persecuting citizens of his own country as, you know, he's been suppressing
00:21:16.520 political opposition. If they say that, like the moral weight of that, the moral victory that can
00:21:22.540 come from that and the sort of legitimizing of everything we've been saying here in terms of,
00:21:26.940 know, like Justin Trudeau is not just some progressive wonder boy who's this, you know,
00:21:31.380 prince of progressive policy here in Canada. He's leading the way for, you know, for the world to
00:21:37.140 follow. He himself has just become this complete tyrant who is oppressing anyone who seeks to oppose
00:21:44.460 him or the policies he's seeking to implement and how Canada's democracy has been crumbling. And so
00:21:49.760 I think it's worth a shot. And, uh, well, and he, the UN is the group, like these are the people he
00:21:55.920 wants to impress. So even if you want to put aside the fact that there's, there's logical benefit to
00:22:01.360 this, if you don't like Justin Trudeau and you want to take a petty shot at him, uh, what better
00:22:07.320 than to have the UN, the group he's been sucking up to and trying to acquire seats with what better than
00:22:13.060 them condemning him directly. It's the best shot possible. So if you think that this is important work,
00:22:18.400 if you're happy that Sheila's there, or if you just want Justin Trudeau to have another sort of
00:22:22.340 stain on his already tarnished record, go to humanrightscomplaint.com, sign a petition,
00:22:27.960 consider chipping in to keep that work going. Cause it's, it's, it's like, as we mentioned,
00:22:33.100 not cheap to have all this lawyering done and to have these two folks, Sheila, obviously such an
00:22:38.200 instrumental part of our team flying over there, humanrightscomplaint.com chip in what you can.
00:22:44.100 It'd be so greatly appreciated. So yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And on that,

00:23:44.480 Absolutely. Please do. I want to go horseback riding again.
00:23:47.800 I'm good this week. That's great. You know, Adam, every time I get a video submitted, I see you're
00:23:52.480 on a horse. I'm like, you know what? It seems like a good day out in Alberta. It seems like a good
00:23:56.280 time. Well, you know, I have an interview scheduled and we were originally going to get it on horses
00:24:01.220 with Brian Jean. We're going to do an interview, but it took them a little while to get back. So we
00:24:05.820 couldn't line up the horses for that one. We're going to go for a walk and chat though, but no
00:24:10.200 horses this week, I'm afraid for videos. Fair enough. Fair enough. Well, you know what? The beauty
00:24:15.080 of the West, horseback and all. Well, on the topic, as we were discussing of Justin Trudeau and his
00:24:22.900 essential tyranny in Canada, the handgun ban making incredible waves, especially in American media.
00:24:30.080 They're so like, look at this. They're taking away the Canadians guns. It's coming for us.
00:24:34.140 But so we know that the federal government announced this handgun ban. They're banning
00:24:38.740 all handguns in Canada, banning the sale, possession eventually, I think. But for now,
00:24:43.460 just the sale and exchange. And now, because that ban isn't coming into effect quickly enough,
00:24:49.640 and because since they announced the ban, handguns have been flying off the shelves. I think it's
00:24:54.000 like a 900% increase in handgun sales in Canada. Since they announced the ban,
00:24:58.500 they're now banning effective immediately through some more obscure, you know, procedural way rather
00:25:06.260 than through parliament. They're banning the import of handguns into Canada. So you can't
00:25:11.880 restock those shelves once they're empty because they may be flying off the shelves. But now they're
00:25:16.120 basically saying, nope, sorry, the handgun ban that we want, it can't happen immediately. So in the
00:25:21.060 meantime, we're going to ban all imports, which I think is through the same mechanism they use to
00:25:25.280 regulate dairy imports as well. But I mean, I know, Adam, you have a lot to say on this. You know,
00:25:31.060 you were the one kind of leading the charge on our hands off our guns campaign when this ban was
00:25:35.680 announced. So I mean, what's your take on this latest news about us literally now saying, nope,
00:25:39.920 we're banning all imports of handguns. You can't bring those guns legally across the border anymore.
00:25:45.640 Well, I mean, there's a bunch of ways to go with this. The first sort of self-evident point
00:25:50.400 is that the people that you're trying to limit with these restrictions aren't generally buying
00:25:57.420 guns legally, the violent criminals. So like under Justin Trudeau, with all these increased gun
00:26:03.080 measures, almost across the board, gun violence has increased. And there's actually, I saw a graph
00:26:07.880 the other day. I don't know where to find it. We probably won't be able to pull it out. But it was
00:26:11.020 basically like the immediate jump of gun violence in Toronto. Like as soon as Harper finished and as
00:26:16.940 soon as Trudeau was in, it was like a significant, like an 18% jump that sustained just from that
00:26:24.440 shift in an understanding that they were going to be soft on crime. I can't remember the details
00:26:31.000 exactly, but at Hands Off or Guns, you'll be able to find it. Where while they're bringing in these
00:26:36.140 restrictions for legal firearms owners who are screened on a daily basis and have to go through
00:26:41.860 all these safety measures. And there's like a, like a negligible statistical correlation between
00:26:47.480 legal firearms owners and firearms violence. Like literally the only sort of self, the only one
00:26:53.860 that's sort of demonstrable is self-harm. The majority of violent crime out there, particularly
00:26:58.120 handgun crime is by non-registered weapons. People who have a restricted firearms like a sense and
00:27:04.180 they're going to the range don't generally commit crimes because they're being police checked
00:27:08.720 automatically because they have that restricted possession and acquisition license. So you're
00:27:12.920 just automatically being checked every day to see if you've done anything. So the, the big joke,
00:27:18.880 when we went to a gun shop right off the bat was like big Trudy's the number one gun salesman in the
00:27:23.600 country. Um, everyone could have predicted that there'd be a significant increase in gun sales.
00:27:29.740 Now it's, it's not significant statistically, or as far as gun violence, because they're all being
00:27:34.800 legally purchased, but they're going out of their way to punish these people who shoot it. Cause
00:27:39.760 realistically, for people who don't know, if you have a handgun, pistol, revolver, whatever,
00:27:44.820 you basically can't shoot it anywhere other than a gun club. Like you can't take it out. You can take
00:27:51.100 your rifle out to a field and shoot a target on crown land. Um, you can, you can go to certain
00:27:56.220 places and hunt, but you can't go to a hunting place and have a handgun with you. You can't even
00:28:01.360 transport it there. So the restrictions are so limited and narrow. You certainly can't walk around
00:28:06.540 with a handgun in Toronto. So these people committing, uh, gun crimes in the middle of cities
00:28:11.980 with handguns, they aren't legal gun owners from the get go. So this is a, this is a, anyone who knew
00:28:18.340 anything about guns, it's literally as though they're taking people who don't know anything
00:28:22.940 whatsoever about firearms and trying to get them to write the laws about firearms. So this was
00:28:29.480 absolutely predictable. The second that they brought in a band, there was literally when I
00:28:33.280 was at shooting edge, doing an interview with, uh, Jr, uh, who's the owner, there was lineups
00:28:39.260 out the door and they were out of stock and they were pumping guns. I can 100% assure you that there
00:28:46.360 are more firearms, handguns, particularly among Canadians now than there ever have been because of
00:28:53.860 Justin Trudeau's efforts to reduce the amount of handguns in Canadians' hands. Like everything he
00:28:59.360 does is almost the, the he's, he's increased sales dramatically and people who maybe never were
00:29:06.300 going to buy a handgun went out to get one because they, they want it basically grandfathered in,
00:29:11.080 or they're hoping that, that they'll have it. So if they would have just left this alone,
00:29:15.400 if the intention was to keep handguns out of people's hands, it would have been better off.
00:29:19.400 Um, but yeah, as, as sorry, go ahead, go ahead.
00:29:22.960 Yeah. I was going to say, it's like, I just, I love that. It's like, if you want something to
00:29:26.600 become suddenly extremely prevalent among a population, just ban it. And then everyone's
00:29:30.460 going to go for it. But I mean, can we, can we pull that article back up at that CTV news article?
00:29:34.720 Cause I just, as just a bit of a side note here, I found it fascinating that I thought everything in
00:29:38.540 that article was super on point. And it's interesting to note that a lot of the mainstream
00:29:42.500 media on issues like this are no longer running cover for Justin Trudeau. Like the headline of this
00:29:47.460 article itself, if we can scroll up here, is concerns emerge over misleading Canadian handgun
00:29:52.460 import ban. And if you go through the article, it essentially makes most of the points that you
00:29:56.340 were making at them, where they're going through and they're interviewing actual, uh, gun owners and
00:30:00.280 those in the firearms business in Canada and getting their views and them just explaining how
00:30:05.160 nonsensical these policies are and how they're harming Canadians and how they're ineffective.
00:30:09.400 And they're just, you know, putting at wasted efforts into harming legal gun owners with zero
00:30:14.960 attention being paid whatsoever to the real means by which illegal firearms are getting into the
00:30:19.580 country and are being used in actual crimes. And so, yeah, it's just fascinating to see an
00:30:24.100 article that I read. I'm like, wow, yeah, everything here seems pretty on point. And it's just interesting
00:30:28.160 to see even down to the headline of how, you know what, they're actually attacking this policy
00:30:32.620 that normally would be great. I know doing real journalism. They'd normally be great fodder to
00:30:37.060 pump up like, Oh, look at this. Trudeau is taking meaningful action against gun violence in
00:30:41.200 Canada. How great is he? Whereas that whole sort of, uh, attitude I've found is slowly been
00:30:46.280 slipping away in a lot of our sort of corporate media there, which is very interesting to see.
00:30:51.440 You know, one of the more refreshing things, and this, this might've been before I was really
00:30:56.300 into firearms. I am a late adopter. I probably would have been on the other side of some of these
00:31:00.780 talking points, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago. Um, but there was a girl, a journalist from
00:31:06.580 Vice, a lady, a woman, I suppose. Um, but a young woman, um, from, it was a Vice video. I, I,
00:31:12.960 I, people I'm sure can find it, but she came into it into firearms as like, I haven't, I'm opposed.
00:31:20.200 I think nobody needs them. It's ridiculous. Um, and she went through the firearms, like the,
00:31:25.740 they asked her as a journalist to go through the training, try shooting, get the entire process.
00:31:32.040 Um, and basically by the end, she was like a gunny who like, who loved shooting and everything.
00:31:38.640 And eventually she sold her guns and she said, yeah, there's way too much red tape and the
00:31:42.840 government just ruined a perfectly safe and friendly Canadian sport. So she went from,
00:31:48.960 she went from like, nobody needs this to like, everyone should have this, but the government's
00:31:53.340 making it too much of a pain. If you look at this, this objectively, if you look at the statistics,
00:31:58.040 um, they're, they're literally softening the punishment on violent criminals who use guns to
00:32:04.660 do, use illegal guns to do bad things and, and punishing people who are, who are just trying
00:32:10.600 to shoot at targets as a sport. Yeah. It's, it's wild. Yeah, exactly. And while we're on the topic,
00:32:15.540 I'm pretty sure we have a video clip also. I think of one of Trudeau's ministers, uh, admitting that
00:32:20.060 this latest, uh, ban on the import of handguns was in response to that 900% increase of handguns.
00:32:26.800 So let's throw that clip if we have that ready. Cause I, I think that's a good, uh, good bit to
00:32:31.000 show there. Why you didn't do it months ago before there was a surge in sales.
00:32:38.460 Look, I readily can see that there is urgency to this matter and we've been very innovative and
00:32:42.980 creative. This is not necessarily an intuitive legal measure that we have come up with. It is
00:32:47.720 something that is unprecedented and it shows the lengths to which, uh, we're going to leave
00:32:52.180 and exhaust all options when it comes to saving lives. And so I am grateful to global affairs and
00:32:58.120 to minister Jolie for exercising her ministerial authorities to accelerate the progress that we
00:33:03.560 want to make on this important agenda. And we'll continue to push forward with C 21 working and
00:33:09.700 reaching across partisan lines where we can, because this is an issue that touches every single
00:33:14.560 community. And there is a very strong correlation in the explosion of the handgun universe and the
00:33:20.000 increase in handgun crime. And that's why, uh, again, we'll, we'll look at both conventional
00:33:24.500 and non-conventional and creative options like we did today to save lives.
00:33:28.660 I want to give people a sense of how significant the surge was. Uh, the Ontario chief firearms officer
00:33:33.300 told iPolitics that between June 1st and June 30th, there was a 914% increase, 914% increase,
00:33:41.880 uh, in handgun transfers over the same period in 2021. So you are making another move. Now,
00:33:46.560 I want to ask you, it's two weeks before this comes into effect, do you anticipate that there
00:33:51.180 will be perhaps a smaller, but another surge now in sales?
00:33:55.720 Well, I, I can see that there might be, but that's why I'm grateful to minister Jolie for
00:34:00.440 actually shrinking the amount of time when this would come into force, typically, uh, in exercising
00:34:04.760 her authorities under the import export controls act, you would require 30 days. We've taken it down
00:34:09.860 to 14 days so that we can again, move forward more quickly, expeditiously to bring the effect of the
00:34:16.420 national handgun freeze, uh, into full force as much as we possibly can. Well, I'd say just first
00:34:22.600 at a high level that the vast majority of handgun sales are imported. Uh, and that's because we have
00:34:27.820 a very small manufacturing sector here. And so that's one of the reasons why we've turned to this
00:34:32.780 particular measure. Oh man. And for those who, uh, may have forgotten or don't know Marco Mendocino,
00:34:39.540 you know, he is the, uh, serial liar. We've had a number of campaigns, uh, most recently calling for
00:34:44.980 him to resign for what was it he was lying about most recently? I'm, I'm drawing a blank. I can't
00:34:49.340 even keep track. Yeah. Cause it was, there was stuff about the convoy where he was lying about
00:34:53.420 the public safety, uh, implications of the convoy in Ottawa. And then there was something else. I'm
00:34:58.680 forgetting what it was. I think it is fireman to see no. See or something like that. Something like
00:35:02.560 that. I don't know. I feel like it's, uh, it's nice to have that, uh, that context here. If we pull
00:35:07.420 that up, there we go. He must resign claiming the police at the federal government to invoke the
00:35:11.140 emergencies act. That's what it was. Okay. So yeah, it was convoy related. It was emergencies act.
00:35:15.800 Yeah. So he's quite the character. He's been a very faithful lackey would seem to Justin Trudeau
00:35:21.400 in furthering his agenda of clamping down on the rights and freedoms of everyday Canadians. And there you
00:35:27.140 have it banning the import of all handguns. Yeah. I 1800% sales increase prediction. You know,
00:35:33.540 the other thing too, there that he's just like lying about these statistics aren't available.
00:35:37.140 They just brought this, like this thing and then, and then legal firearms. He was basically
00:35:44.780 falsely implying that there was an increase in gun violence, that there's a correlation. And then
00:35:50.300 she's like, well, there's been an increase in sales. I don't know if she was running cover or she
00:35:53.940 sort of misunderstood what he was saying there, but like those statistics wouldn't be available
00:35:58.720 yet. So that's not true, but there, there is a statistical correlation of increase in gun violence.
00:36:04.060 It's not to do with, with handgun sales in the last two months, but it has everything to do with
00:36:08.880 the guy who's leading the country. There is a categorical correlation of an increase in handgun
00:36:14.500 violence. And it's with Justin Trudeau. It's also with more progressive mayors coming into,
00:36:19.460 into these cities. You then see softening of consequences on gun crimes.
00:36:26.620 There's a correlation, but it's not, it doesn't have to do with ownership.
00:36:30.060 Yeah, absolutely is. So yeah. Wild story again. You know what? If your local gun store is still in
00:36:35.880 stock, maybe you might consider, you know, I'm not going to tell you what to do, but it might be
00:36:39.800 worth checking out the shelves. I don't know. But in the meantime, if you want to see a lineup,
00:36:43.240 yeah, exactly. Yeah. If you want to go gawk at some people standing in line, it's either a COVID
00:36:48.000 testing center. You know, last year we have those lines up. Now it's the handgun store.
00:36:52.420 So it's very, very fun to see. We're going to throw to another ad right now. Make sure to stay
00:36:56.680 with us. We will be right back. Hey folks, check out the newest arrival to the Rebel News store. Yes.
00:37:05.200 F is for Fidel and F is for father. I mean, could it be? Yes. Half this photo, the colored half
00:37:13.920 is Justin Trudeau, the black and white half is a young Fidel Castro. Wait now, or is it vice versa?
00:37:21.940 It's so confusing. I'm a huge Forensic Files fan. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a piece
00:37:29.000 of Justin's DNA and a piece of Fidel's DNA and put the rumor to bed once and for all? But in the
00:37:36.760 meantime, we'll just have to walk around wearing this shirt, hinting at a great Canadian conspiracy.
00:37:45.040 Or is it?
00:37:48.040 In any event, if you want to get this shirt, folks, go to the Rebel News store and check this out.
00:37:54.900 Type in our new discount code. That's Summer. S-U-M-M-E-R. And if you buy two unisex t-shirts,
00:38:03.260 you get an additional one for free. What a deal. Like I said, Justin Trudeau,
00:38:11.900 Fidel Castro. As they used to say on the ABC detergent ads, do you tell the difference?
00:38:17.880 I can't tell the difference.
00:38:20.960 Oh, Adam, that is my favorite ad for our store. David Menzies is absolutely killing it.
00:38:25.500 You know what? I want an ad with David Menzies on a horse and then I'll be satisfied entirely.
00:38:29.720 Actually, I would love to see that. Yeah. I'm going to put in a request. I want to see
00:38:33.840 Rebel News takes David Menzies to the ranch to do some horseback riding. I would love to see that.
00:38:39.680 Maybe we'll have to set up a campaign, get a petition going, calling for David Menzies to go
00:38:44.120 riding a horse. I'd be into that.
00:38:45.740 Yeah. Mountain Menzies.
00:38:48.680 Oh, man. Well, next up on our schedule of topics here is one of your campaigns that you've
00:38:56.220 been spearheading, Adam. Cleanwaternow.ca. And this has been such a consistent issue in Canada,
00:39:03.440 especially after repeated promises and failures from Justin Trudeau to address this and then
00:39:08.180 simply refusing to, failing to, whatever way you want to look at it. Do you mind explaining to us
00:39:13.060 what the campaign's all about and what we're calling for right now to kind of finally saying
00:39:18.300 this needs to be done? Let's just do it.
00:39:20.280 You know, I had a conversation months ago with Jocelyn Bergewick of Sundance Construction,
00:39:26.460 and she, an Indigenous woman, sort of has an intimate, personal sort of inside experience.
00:39:33.740 She's done some of these contracts. She's been at the table while they're negotiating these
00:39:37.980 contracts. I encourage people to check that video out because she very much lays down, and I think
00:39:44.000 pretty much an unprecedented fashion, why some of these communities don't have clean drinking
00:39:50.140 water. So that conversation has had this sort of on the back of my mind as in what's going on,
00:39:55.460 what's the limiters. There's a lot of corporate greed. There's a lot of big companies,
00:39:59.660 SNC-Lavalin included among them, that are, there could be an easier solution in place. And then
00:40:06.460 they're like, oh, let's do the 10-year, $40 million solution because that's a little bit more
00:40:10.840 profitable. A lot of that stuff going on. Very often they use the sort of Indigenous smoke screen of
00:40:16.900 we can't ask questions to obscure the corruption that's preventing these communities from getting
00:40:21.840 water. We also recently, obviously, had Pope Francis visiting Canada, popereports.com for all
00:40:28.020 of that coverage. But a big sort of theme we talked to people was people were generally like,
00:40:35.900 it doesn't mean a ton, but at least the 85-year-old man crossed the ocean to say, sorry,
00:40:39.980 that's great. But when we said what would mean something, what would be substantial? And then one
00:40:44.280 of the things we often spoke with people about was, would it be more significant to address
00:40:49.040 and more reflective of an actual change of heart towards Indigenous communities to address the
00:40:55.040 clean drinking water crises rather than spending money or energy on an apology tour? And the universal
00:41:00.800 sentiment across the board was, yes, even if people were very happy the Pope was there, they're like,
00:41:06.580 it would mean a lot more if we just did something substantive. So I just want to put this into context
00:41:12.320 for people. Because when I was doing research for this, this was jarring. And this just indicates
00:41:16.740 just how bad Justin Trudeau is. I'll remind everyone, Justin's own dad, as well as Katsian,
00:41:21.640 were involved in the residential school system. The last residential school closed in 1997.
00:41:30.020 There's a current drink water advisory in effect that they're now working on, but it's still in effect
00:41:35.940 from 1995. So two years before they closed the last residential school, there was a drink water advisory
00:41:44.280 that is still in effect today. So we talk about the residential schools and the harms of the past and all
00:41:51.080 of that stuff. But there's literally still issues extending from that sort of reckless liberal government
00:41:57.600 mentality. There's also a lot of finger pointing, blaming the church for everything. Well, I'll remind folks,
00:42:03.520 the residential schools were basically mandated and paid for by the government. They just asked the
00:42:07.780 churches to staff them, which doesn't excuse the church. But there's certainly a lot of finger
00:42:12.920 pointing and distraction. And it's so indicative of the fact that these people are eager to make money
00:42:19.700 for their friends. In the Indigenous community, they refer to it as the cottage industry, because
00:42:24.720 you'll have executives meeting with folks up in the Ontario Lake Districts and their cottages and
00:42:30.320 negotiating these massive, massive deals instead of being like, what's the fastest way to get water to these
00:42:36.740 communities? And make no mistake, there isn't more than enough money going around so that every Indigenous
00:42:41.800 community could have the same quality drinking water as you or I. It's politics and it's games that they're
00:42:50.380 playing that are preventing this. It's individuals wanting to get wealthy rather than addressing these concerns that's
00:42:55.980 preventing this from happening. It's a very universal sentiment, I think. And I know some people are like
00:43:00.720 a little, they have a little bit of a problem with calling water a basic human right. I push back on
00:43:06.680 that. And I say that, especially in a developed nation, to suggest that every Canadian having access
00:43:11.440 to water is a fundamental basic human right. And demanding the government, which takes so much of
00:43:16.480 our money, provide at least that, is a very minimal safe starting point. This is a non-partisan issue.
00:43:22.760 It only becomes partisan when politicians campaign on things like this, but then don't act on it. But
00:43:28.620 this is an issue. I don't care if you're a left-wing NDP, radical progressive, or a staunch
00:43:33.840 conservative. I think we should be in agreement that we need to put an end to these games and we
00:43:38.540 need to get clean drinking water to these communities. And for folks out there who don't
00:43:42.020 know how bad it is, sometimes they won't do adequate ground surveys and the process they use
00:43:47.380 to purify water actually reacts with sulfur and creates carcinogenic water that the
00:43:53.240 communities can't use. Some of these communities, the water is so toxic that the children can only
00:43:58.140 bathe once a week or they begin to rash. This isn't just, oh, the water doesn't taste quite right.
00:44:03.340 This is unsafe and unusable waters for these communities. So I'm just encouraging everyone
00:44:09.560 to go to cleanwaternow.ca, sign our petition. I think we've done one or two videos on this and we
00:44:15.260 already have almost 10,000 signatures. But this is an issue that I feel we could get like 100,000
00:44:21.060 signatures on. So sign that petition, send it around to your friends, regardless of their politics or
00:44:26.940 their position. This is something that everyone should probably be on board with. So do sign that
00:44:32.680 petition. We're going to continue to do more stories on this. Hold politicians to accountable and
00:44:38.360 hopefully generate some real meaningful action to put an end to the 27 remaining First Nations
00:44:44.040 communities that have these drinkwater advisories in effect. Yeah. And I think it's interesting. It's
00:44:49.740 important to sort of highlight, like you were saying, there is more than enough money to actually
00:44:54.000 achieve this that is being pumped into these sort of programs. And it's sort of this government
00:44:58.220 corruption and sort of there's a smokescreen around what's going on that is just not happening.
00:45:04.160 And it's such a universal sentiment. You'll have so many people across the political spectrum
00:45:08.120 saying, guys, this is an incredible issue. It is so solvable. We can so easily do this with the
00:45:15.240 resources we have. Let's do it. And everyone calls for it, but it just never happens. And I remember
00:45:19.560 we were having a conversation when we kind of had the whole team together here in Ontario,
00:45:24.800 sort of doing a bit of a retreat. I remember you saying like, could we not just do this ourselves?
00:45:28.640 Like what if Rebel News with our faithful viewers tried to crowdfund the money you would need
00:45:34.320 and then spearhead the project of giving one of these communities clean drinking water just to
00:45:38.380 prove how possible it is? And I just remember thinking like, wow, it's incredible. We're
00:45:41.700 actually saying this in such a realistic, like, yeah, like let's actually do this. And of course,
00:45:45.700 that didn't happen. There are some logistic hurdles that we weren't able to sort of meet feasibly.
00:45:51.060 But I just feel like like when you can actually have a conversation and say, you know,
00:45:54.320 we ourselves could go ahead and do this. And yet our government with all of its resources,
00:45:58.340 the one that is already managing these communities, because the government is so paternalistic
00:46:02.940 over these indigenous communities themselves, they have such control. I think it's just incredible
00:46:07.440 to see that they're failing to fix this issue, which is so like actually possible to solve.
00:46:14.280 If you want like a small scale example of this, when we were talking about all the arson that was
00:46:20.680 taking the sort of false mass graves narrative that was pushed, which I'll also have another report
00:46:25.960 on. And obviously, we've got the incredible documentary from Dre and Matt coming out soon.
00:46:30.100 But when we saw the mass arson and everything, I was speaking with a number of indigenous
00:46:34.320 communities. And they invited me out to their church on Sutina. And we got there and they were
00:46:40.040 sort of telling me the story and how they were, they basically had a vision in their cultural
00:46:44.200 tradition that there would be a Catholic church here. And then they got together and some of the
00:46:49.800 community members donated the land. And this church, a beautiful church, no running water,
00:46:55.720 very sort of basic, but the roof was leaking. Now they could get multi-million dollar grants for
00:47:02.020 sports complexes, but a couple blocks away, the church, they couldn't get money for a roof
00:47:06.100 to prevent it from leaking and becoming damaged. Shocking, the liberals don't like churches.
00:47:11.560 But we did a fundraiser. I think the people were so on board that it took us a day to fundraise a
00:47:18.400 replacement roof for this church and take care of them. We did that project. I'm actually going to go
00:47:22.680 back at the end of this month to do a look what we did a year ago. But you take that on a sort of
00:47:28.840 macro level, that one instance of a church roof that just needs a roof job and they can't get money.
00:47:34.900 Well, what eventually happens is the place floods and then they give them millions of dollars for a
00:47:38.340 new building that takes 10 years to get done. That's what we're seeing with these plants. Very
00:47:42.660 often they need someone maintaining the water preservation or treatment plant and they need new UV bulbs or they
00:47:48.780 need a new $10,000 part. They don't do that. And then the whole thing breaks and falls apart. That's
00:47:53.700 what we're seeing on the macro level. Um, I really do think that we probably could address some of
00:47:59.680 these concerns and I have sort of been working at some of that, but one of the problems is it is so,
00:48:05.000 uh, it's so sort of, as you said, paternalistic, but it's so like seven government agencies are involved.
00:48:11.260 Yeah. So I, I spent, I spent like a day on the phone saying, okay, this community doesn't have
00:48:16.440 water. What would it cost to get it? And they literally couldn't, they hadn't even done like
00:48:20.960 surveys and determined what they need on a 20 year thing. Like I'm like, can we give you, can we raise
00:48:26.160 $200,000 and get this part? They couldn't even formulate an answer as to what, so we didn't know
00:48:31.960 if we, if it would be a matter of raising 20 grand or 7 million and nobody could solve that sort of
00:48:37.040 predicament for us. It was, yeah, extremely troubling. You know, I'm actually just thinking
00:48:41.860 now, cause I was like, if you were saying all these government agencies couldn't even give you
00:48:44.620 answers, it starts ringing in my head, sort of pure Polyev's, you know, line about the government
00:48:48.780 gatekeepers, which I think he's so on point about. And I think it'd be interesting to try and ask him
00:48:52.760 the next, uh, next time we have a chance to put questions to him, be to ask him like, okay,
00:48:57.180 what do you think about the government gatekeepers who've been preventing this very solvable problem
00:49:02.160 from being solved? And will you do something about it? If like, you know, if you become prime
00:49:06.340 minister, will you do what Justin Trudeau has promised repeatedly to do and has never done?
00:49:11.060 I think it's a fascinating point. I don't know. That's just the first thoughts come in my mind now,
00:49:15.100 but, um, agreed. Yeah, that would be a good thing to ask. Cause he's such a clear front runner right
00:49:20.460 now in the CPC leadership race. It seems very clear looking at the latest numbers that he's likely
00:49:25.220 going to win come September for the leadership election. Um, which means he's got a clear shot
00:49:30.560 straight to the prime ministership. So, uh, actually our next story up on the docket here has to do with
00:49:35.740 him, uh, conservative MP threatening to leave the party. If Pierre Polyev becomes the leader,
00:49:41.340 which I think is kind of hilarious. Uh, there's this sort of narrative. I think that Jean Charest
00:49:47.440 is really trying to push that pure Polyev is an extreme radical right wing person who would
00:49:52.260 pull the conservative party into some uncharted waters. Uh, and it's hilarious to see this Quebec
00:49:58.620 MP saying, you know what, if he's elected, I'm not going to stay in the conservative party. I'm going
00:50:02.740 to take a principled stand when really the only things Pierre Polyev has been saying is I want
00:50:07.520 to make Canada freest country on earth and remove government gatekeepers. And, you know, it's classic
00:50:12.480 lines. A lot of them are very much Harper isms, which, uh, it's funny to say he's so radical when
00:50:17.380 we had a very, you know, successful sitting prime minister for so long saying the exact same things.
00:50:22.300 I don't know. Well, what do you think, Adam? I just think this is kind of ironic.
00:50:25.880 Yeah. It's, I mean, like Harper was a moderate centrist. He wasn't socially conservative on
00:50:30.480 core issues. Um, and people are trying to brand Polyev as an extremist like Harper. Harper was
00:50:37.200 like, he, he, he was progressive on abortion and marriage. Um, and economically he was pretty sound.
00:50:43.400 Most people won't criticize Harper economically. So if you're trying to paint a picture of Polyev is
00:50:49.300 that, um, I think there's an effort because Polyev is effective on social media to brand him like a
00:50:56.420 Trump populist. Um, I wish, um, he's not, um, if anything, because, because this is, this is the
00:51:04.420 distinction. Pierre Polyev ever paid 50 grand to not be on stage. Trump, Trump would not miss an
00:51:11.420 opportunity to be on a stage. Uh, you couldn't pay him 50 grand not to get on a stage. Um,
00:51:17.040 Polyev is, is charismatic and he says the right things and conservatives are a little bit scared
00:51:22.260 because we haven't had a remotely charismatic leader. Harper wasn't particularly charismatic.
00:51:27.540 So he is charismatic, but he is very moderate centrist. Um, the only sort of points that he
00:51:33.840 has that are maybe a bit out there, which I'd agree with entirely are like defund the CBC, um,
00:51:38.880 that he says and has people chant and, um, talking about freedom and stuff. But the majority of what he
00:51:43.920 said has said, while in the madness of COVID-19 might've seemed a little extreme. Most of what he said
00:51:50.920 now courts are beginning to agree with, and the mainstream narrative is coming around to,
00:51:55.360 oh yeah, we were obviously wrong. And this is a sensible opinion. Um, but yeah, this is,
00:52:00.160 you can look at the polling, Jean Charest, depending on the polls among non-conservative voters
00:52:06.600 is preferred a little bit over Polyev. So it's, and I mean, it's like a couple of percent. Um, so the
00:52:14.060 argument that they're trying to go on and what Jean Charest, knowing that conservative voters are
00:52:18.460 rational, well, Jean Charest, it's smart, whoever it's probably or someone, I don't know if someone
00:52:24.540 on the campaign has said, listen, the angle we have to go with right now is if you don't vote for
00:52:29.100 Charest, Polyev is going to lose to Trudeau. That's the crux of their campaign right now.
00:52:33.060 It's based on sort of marginal slim polling margins, but it's, it's slightly reflected in reality.
00:52:39.740 But this, this guy saying this, it's, it's, I don't know if it's an intentional correlation to
00:52:44.640 the Charest campaign. Um, but if you're going to leave over someone as semi-centrist, who's a little
00:52:50.880 freedom oriented as Pierre Polyevry, you shouldn't have been in the conservative party in the first
00:52:55.360 place. If you've been happy with Aaron O'Toole and Andrew Scheer's performance, caving and flipping
00:53:00.900 on just about everything, um, you, you belong in that conservative party. But I think the conservative
00:53:06.600 party, we've seen renewal, we've seen excitement. Um, they're basically losing everyone who is
00:53:13.280 conservative-ish to the people's party. Um, with Pierre Polyevry coming back in, people seem to have
00:53:20.840 flipped back. Now they may come to regret that and have some buyer's remorse. Once elected,
00:53:25.080 we couldn't see the conservative party revert to the sort of Aaron O'Toole, whataboutism, liberal light,
00:53:33.280 like, like non-substantial. But I mean, frankly, if this guy wants to go, uh, okay, you, you don't want
00:53:41.820 any sentiment of conservative principles in your conservative leader, you probably shouldn't be in
00:53:46.740 the conservative party. Yeah, no, exactly. And on that note, and actually we're going to come back
00:53:51.180 a little bit because you mentioned, uh, in the height of COVID, Pierre Polyev might've seemed a
00:53:54.640 little more, uh, out there because we had such a shift leftward in terms of government control and
00:53:59.180 policy during COVID-19. We're going to throw to an ad real quick. We're going to come back. I think
00:54:03.760 we're going to talk about the other campaign that you've been spearheading, Adam, on that note of
00:54:07.700 COVID-19 management, and then we'll make sure absolutely to be getting to all of your chats
00:54:12.360 you've been sending us. So stay tuned. We'll be back with you in just a minute.
00:54:37.700 All right, back at it, Adam, real quick, because we are running short on time here. Unfortunately,
00:54:53.820 there's so much I'd love to keep talking about. Um, but we're going to have to parse this down a
00:54:58.340 little bit because we are getting towards the end of our hour. Time's been flying. Why don't you talk
00:55:03.020 a little bit about your pay it back campaign where we sort of switch gears to the COVID-19 topic here?
00:55:07.700 Yeah. So, uh, Dina Hinshaw took almost $600,000, um, in a year. So, I mean, if you do the math there,
00:55:18.560 that's, that's about $11,000 a week, which is 23 times what the government determined people needed
00:55:26.100 to get by on CERB if they were laid off because of COVID mandates. Um, so this mentality from health
00:55:32.560 officials that were all in it together, um, this is, this is pandemic profiteering at its core.
00:55:38.340 Now, don't get me wrong. I understand that there probably is some, this is probably within the
00:55:42.920 contract, but she's been categorically condemned by pro lock downers and freedom fighters alike.
00:55:50.080 She's made serious blunders, like blaming the death of a brain cancer related death of a child
00:55:56.420 on COVID-19 when it basically wasn't a factor. Um, she's been sort of unprepared and unable to
00:56:02.640 answer questions that clearly for someone making that kind of money in her position,
00:56:06.860 um, her base salary being like 327,000 or something like that, um, should be prepared to do. So this is
00:56:14.520 someone who's been condemned and we're all in it together apparently, but there's certainly been no
00:56:18.400 lack of cashing in and capitalizing. Um, for those of us in the real world, imagining our already
00:56:24.380 massive salary, getting a quarter million dollar bonus, anyone excusing this or saying, well, that
00:56:30.380 was the terms of her job. I don't care if those were the terms of her job, a quarter million dollar
00:56:34.880 bonus for a health official when everyone else is suffering and they're closing down emergency rooms
00:56:40.740 and limiting hours. And there's, they're cutting back ambulances partially because of management
00:56:45.940 issues, which hell she should be taking a look at because it's part of her job, but also partially
00:56:50.560 because of funding cuts. It's a bad look. It's a really, really, really bad look. And it completely
00:56:58.240 flies in the face of the, we're all in it together narrative. The COVID-19 response has been a
00:57:03.140 disaster. Now you can blame Jason Kenney, or you can blame Dina Hinshaw. Each of them is going to
00:57:08.080 point somewhere else. No one's accountable, but ultimately Jason Kenney was in charge of the
00:57:12.940 province. She was the chief medical officer of health. These decisions ultimately fall to their
00:57:18.740 heads. Now, no one wants to take accountability. No one is admitting, not even Travis Tave's current
00:57:23.260 UCP leadership hopeful, that they've signed off on this payment. It's a disaster. But I mean,
00:57:28.980 the fact remains, Dina Hinshaw absolutely needs to resign. Before she does this, she needs to pay
00:57:33.800 this money back. The rest of us, many of which have lost jobs, suffering, whatever, people out there in
00:57:39.760 the world en masse, losing jobs, often without severance, while she is cashing in. It's absolutely
00:57:46.100 just gross. There's no other way to describe it. So we do have a campaign at payitback.ca. I encourage
00:57:56.040 you to go there, sign our petition, almost at 10,000 signatures already. We really need to put the
00:58:01.480 pressure on. If anyone else snuck away or questionably got a quarter million dollars from
00:58:07.380 their job, they'd be held accountable. We can't have politicians like the Sky Palace not having
00:58:12.940 any consequence, quarter million dollar bonus while other people are being gutted over financial
00:58:17.540 reasons, walking away with that. It's not acceptable. Sign the petition, please, to hold
00:58:22.540 her accountable. There you have it. All right. Now, still, while on the topic of COVID-19, I think
00:58:28.160 there are a few things I'd like to highlight here. So I'm going to rapid fire through a quick
00:58:31.760 few items here. So in other COVID-19 news, we have Ontario government saying that masks will not be
00:58:39.560 mandatory in Ontario schools this fall. That's wonderful to see because, frankly, I was concerned
00:58:45.000 that this fall, you know, they'd be saying, all right, you know, we're concerned about another wave,
00:58:49.320 time to mask up the kids because the kids are always the first ones to be forced to put on the
00:58:53.480 masks, which makes no sense seeing as they're at the lowest risk. But, you know, so that is wonderful
00:59:00.160 news from Ontario. We have, maybe we can just flash this while I'm talking about it, life in Beijing
00:59:05.820 right now, relentless COVID testing and health app that dictates where you go. So just more standard
00:59:12.460 Chinese Communist Party authoritarianism making itself manifest right now. I was reading also
00:59:17.400 there, I think there's another capital in a different province of China that was having a
00:59:21.280 complete lockdown and another COVID outbreak. So seems that communist China is not shying away from
00:59:27.280 their zero COVID strategy, which, I mean, I'm not surprised. I'd love to see their COVID strategy
00:59:33.380 in the concentration camps for the Uyghur Muslims. I wonder what their protocols are for the people
00:59:39.000 they're enslaving and isolating in camps. Yeah, it's very true. You know, I guess tyrants get a tyrant.
00:59:45.860 So you're very sad. I would not want to be in China right now or, you know, ever, quite frankly.
00:59:51.860 You know, I love the Chinese people. But as long as the Chinese Communist Party is in power, no, thank you.
00:59:58.220 Another COVID-19 news recently elected Costa Rica President Rodrigo Robles rescinds the vaccine
01:00:05.000 mandate makes it illegal to force anyone to get the jab. I think that's very interesting. You know,
01:00:11.160 a little bit from Costa Rica. I love seeing throughout all of COVID-19, you know, so uniform,
01:00:16.860 all of these government leaders, these like leaders of countries enforcing these same harsh lockdown
01:00:21.560 policies. Then you see like some of the smaller countries that seem overlooked, like they're not
01:00:25.480 in all of it. And you sort of have a leader saying like, no, that we're not going to do that. And it's
01:00:29.280 always fun to see. I think Jamaica did that once last year. I saw that Costa Rica. Now a few others
01:00:35.680 has been fun to sort of see them pop up and be like, no, we're not doing this. And it's always great.
01:00:39.840 There's been so much, so many countries and Dina Hinshaw did this a lot was just follow the leader. It
01:00:44.120 wasn't look at the evidence. It's like, oh, they're doing this. We better do this. Oh,
01:00:47.520 Alberta. Oh, Ontario is doing this. We better do this instead of looking at the evidence and forming
01:00:51.320 a policy. Yeah, exactly. And so, you know what? I think now we've essentially got one minute left
01:00:56.980 on our hour. I think it's time to get into the chats. We've put it off well long enough. Let's
01:01:01.760 start throwing some chats up here. Thank you so much to everyone who sent them in. Billy Howard,
01:01:06.300 Costa Rican president has made it illegal to mandate or course people into taking the vax we were just
01:01:11.140 talking about or restrict under vaxed rights. So shouldn't Justin Trudeau be arrested there or
01:01:15.000 at least deported? I think that ties in nicely what we were talking about, about our human rights
01:01:18.880 complaint to the UN. Yeah. So I think you're right. If we're going to see some consistency here.
01:01:25.980 Yeah. Justin Trudeau has been doing pretty awful things, forcing his policies on. Well, and I think
01:01:33.440 the hope is that there's some metric of accountability, whether it be Pastor Arthur Tamera Leach, whatever,
01:01:38.920 fiscal remuneration for their, and we know for Archer Pawlowski is the fact that he spent that time
01:01:45.780 behind bars. The majority of those charges have been thrown out. So it's very likely fiscal
01:01:49.960 remuneration. But these politicians just getting off scot-free after absolutely dumping all over the
01:01:55.260 constitution, it's offensive. And I'm hoping there's some metrics of accountability moving forward.
01:02:00.480 Yeah. You're so right. Next up, we have AMT60. In 2019, the World Economic Forum and the UN signed a
01:02:09.980 strategic partnership framework. I just looked it up. Since our PM is a World Economic Forum puppet
01:02:15.140 and doing what they want, I'm skeptical the complaint will work and will it be in the mainstream media?
01:02:20.760 Well, very doubtful that we'll get any mainstream coverage about this unless the UN were to actually,
01:02:26.240 you know, take and accept the complaint and issue a statement on it and sort of recognize
01:02:31.160 these human rights abuses, then I think that would make some waves. But in the meantime, I think,
01:02:36.480 I think we're just gonna have to wait and see. Yeah. Well, I mean, if, even if there is a negative
01:02:43.840 response and it doesn't seem substantial, that could certainly generate a response from some
01:02:50.720 mainstream outlets as well. But like I said earlier, either way, you're getting, you're forcing them
01:02:55.740 to weigh in on this, which is going to be very revealing of where they are. Yeah. Very, very true.
01:03:03.120 Let's see here. We have Outa J. So you want Menzies to change out his fedora for a cowboy hat? Yes,
01:03:10.960 I would love, I would love to see the Menzies Western special episode.
01:03:14.820 I would pay to see that. Yes, exactly. Put that behind the paywall, uh, subscribers only,
01:03:21.360 uh, it'd be worth it. I'm sure we get a lot of subscribers just to see Menzies riding horses.
01:03:26.720 Yeah. Uh, Adam Ottawa says, got my summer rebel t-shirts today. Thanks to, for the four
01:03:33.020 reusable plastic bags too. They will come in handy to dispose of my cat litter. Well, Adam Ottawa,
01:03:38.120 I'm so happy to hear you got your shirts and I'm great to hear using those plastic bags,
01:03:42.780 putting them to good use, uh, scooping that cat litter. Never fun, but, uh, you know, I'm glad
01:03:48.680 we're using those plastic bags. Uh, King 7734. Does the rainbow community get bent out of shape
01:03:56.120 when a person says they're flying from JFK to Heathrow airport? It's a trans, transatlantic flight.
01:04:02.100 Oh man. Does the transatlantic become the Pacific? Yeah. That's a good question. You know,
01:04:07.340 like, I guess it depends on how the ocean's feeling. You know, we were going to have to ask it,
01:04:11.040 make sure we don't miss identify the ocean, Adam. Okay. Make sure you're being sensitive.
01:04:16.800 I'll ask next time. Yeah, exactly. We'll get Drea to investigate. Yeah, of course.
01:04:22.100 We'll ask the thing. We can have one person check with each ocean. Yeah. Yeah. We'll go and check in.
01:04:28.240 Uh, for Asbo, the real question is how much money did she get from World Economic Forum?
01:04:32.800 You know what? That is an interesting question. I really, really hope it's zero. And I imagine she's
01:04:40.080 getting more than enough just exploiting the taxpayer. Uh, but you know what? Who's to say?
01:04:47.280 Very often how this works is after they finish a post, then they get a super juicy job. Uh, but yeah,
01:04:55.580 a bunch of politicians magically get wealthier while they're in office. Yeah. So it's really,
01:05:00.140 it's interesting. Yeah, exactly. All that sort of stuff. You know, I think normally they exploit
01:05:04.760 connections, maybe some insider trading, all of that. I'm not sure there's explicit, you know,
01:05:09.820 payrolls coming from the World Economic Forum because I don't think they would need to,
01:05:13.440 but Hey, I can't, uh, can't say for certain.
01:05:15.800 Well, it's been fun. Is that, is that it? I think that's it for our chats. Well,
01:05:21.680 that's it, Adam. It has been an absolute pleasure hosting a live stream today with you. Uh, for all
01:05:26.940 of you viewers, thanks so much for staying with us. Those of you who have stuck with us thus far,
01:05:31.580 we'll be back at it tomorrow. Not us specifically, but we do host this every day, rotating hosts
01:05:37.080 Monday through Friday, the rebel news daily live stream. Make sure to check back in tomorrow at
01:05:42.040 noon Eastern 10 AM mountain time. And, uh, until next time, make sure you're, uh, you're staying
01:05:48.980 safe in this world, staying free and, uh, try not to let the tyrants get the best of you.
01:05:55.280 Talk to you later, Adam. See ya. A lot of people are talking about the farmers. And of course,
01:06:01.360 if the farmers give up their land to the state that they should do it for the climate. What are your
01:06:07.100 thoughts on that? The whole, the idea of it's for flight fighting climate change. Well,
01:06:11.580 what's your thoughts? Honestly, I don't think that's the real cause. I think, uh, they need,
01:06:16.960 uh, well, it's, uh, you can already see it a little bit. Uh, they need that land for other things,
01:06:22.880 maybe for housing, for example. Uh, it's not for, for climate change. Climate change is a whole
01:06:28.520 different story. I think, uh, there is, it's, it is changing. I don't really think it will be the,
01:06:35.640 the, the fault of the humans for, uh, for us, but, um, I don't think that's true. So they,
01:06:41.920 they, they have another agenda instead of the climate. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think that agenda
01:06:46.200 might be? Uh, well, yeah, that's, uh, that's, uh, I think a long story, but, uh, at the end
01:06:53.540 is a little bit about control, I guess. Um, uh, most, yeah, most, most, most control. And, uh, yeah,
01:07:04.360 I don't know what I say. It's hard to, uh, say in one sentence, I guess, but, um, maybe, uh, the
01:07:09.980 World Economic Forum. You heard of them? Definitely. Yeah, definitely. If you can see it, they are in all
01:07:14.040 cabinets now around the world here in Holland. A lot of ministers are part of the World Economic Forum.
01:07:19.100 They have this agenda. Uh, you see it even in the plans of our, uh, cabinet of, uh, uh, uh,
01:07:24.920 you see this, they almost use the same text as a World Economic Forum. So you can really
01:07:29.300 see that there's the, it's not for us. It's more like, there's a bigger plan with Europe.
01:07:33.500 Yeah. Yeah. So, uh,
