good afternoon ladies and gentlemen you have tuned into the rebel news live stream on this
00:00:21.720
a tuesday july 6 2021 i'm david menzies and my co-host oh my co-host you know folks in a world
00:00:29.700
of black and white bozos she is the technicolor treat she is the she devil with a sword she is the
00:00:36.480
khaleesi of northern alberta she is sheila gun reed how you doing there sheila i'm great and it
00:00:44.140
occurs to me that we need a she devil with a sword t-shirt in the store that might be a trademark term
00:00:51.300
i think there was a marvel character uh called that or red sonja i think or yeah we'll have our
00:00:57.860
crack legal team look into it wouldn't that be great instead of doing the really important work
00:01:03.440
like fighting fines and getting my bottle from the lcbo we go can you do a trademark search on
00:01:10.220
she devil with a sword oh boy that would be great but i gotta tell you i'm a little perturbed sheila
00:01:14.840
because i found out the hard way on the weekend that you cannot get a refund on a dvd or a blu-ray
00:01:22.560
they consider it like the moment you break that cellophane wrap uh you've watched the movie and
00:01:27.640
you're just trying to get a refund uh to um you know uh be a cheapskate not pay for it yeah yeah of
00:01:34.460
course well also what year is this who's flying dvds anymore i am and i thought i bought a dvd
00:01:41.560
about hong kong a documentary on hong kong and i found out when i watched it it had well there was a
00:01:49.500
scene involving hong kong but that's it and i was having an argument with mr producer he said it
00:01:54.960
served you right but i said based on the title of the dvd i thought i was buying a dvd about hong
00:02:01.940
kong and i want to know if you were that clerk at the store would you have given me my money back
00:02:07.140
based on the title what's the title of this movie you're pretending to not know anything about
00:02:12.680
oh the title is godzilla versus kong now you see i thought it meant hong kong not king kong
00:02:21.080
i mean they don't abbreviate godzilla's name they don't call him god or zilla so what the heck what
00:02:27.340
what what is this why his name is king kong it's not just kong he's a king i want my money back like i
00:02:34.680
said there was a scene in hong kong which they pretty much destroy because they're ginormous titans
00:02:40.520
but uh that's that's my case sheila gun reed if you're the judge in a small claims court do i get
00:02:46.740
my refund david i want a refund for the last minute and a half of my life justin and i feel like we've
00:02:54.300
been robbed we're gonna take you to small claims court and sue you for the minute and a half of our
00:02:58.780
lives back that you just stole from us how dare you these poor store clerks that have to deal with
00:03:05.840
you you know well honestly i know but that you know i don't know if we can zoom in but
00:03:13.260
that is actually a scene of hong kong these buildings are hong kong buildings but it's not
00:03:20.340
hong kong it's king kong if they just put his proper title i wouldn't have made that mistake
00:03:25.520
and by the way sheila right i actually bet on who was going to win do you think i have a gambling
00:03:31.160
problem if i'm betting on which fictional title who did you bet with was it with justin was with
00:03:37.520
mr producer did you have a bet with justin about who's gonna win no it was lady menzoid she was a
00:03:42.740
reluctant better but uh that poor woman and she also said something along the lines of i think i just
00:03:49.280
got robbed of two hours of my life sitting through this trash just two hours lady menzoid come on
00:03:57.080
come on anyways enough about my problems with misrepresented dvds and blu-rays sheila what is
00:04:06.720
the ostensible pause reason of what we're trying to do for the next uh 56 minutes yeah who even knows
00:04:12.880
at this point um it's the rebel daily news live stream uh used to just be on fridays just hosted
00:04:18.800
by ezra levant but the pandemic struck and everybody sort of got locked down we thought hey there's more
00:04:25.080
news than ever cbc is not telling people the news they actually made a like a conscious company-wide
00:04:30.180
decision to do less news during the pandemic we said you were grounded uh people are at home the
00:04:38.560
news is changing minute by minute it seems especially with regulations and closures and openings and
00:04:45.180
base counts and all those things that you know pollute the airwaves every day we thought there needs
00:04:51.280
to be a better way for us to talk about this so we expanded the rebel live stream from just friday
00:04:56.380
to five work days uh ezra hosts monday wednesday friday a big accomplishment considering he hosts a
00:05:03.340
daily show plus um he you know he like runs canada's largest independent media company david and i host
00:05:10.440
tuesdays and thursdays sometimes a little more sometimes in my case a little less if i'm busy
00:05:14.780
um and it gives us a chance to interact with each other which i think is great but also our viewers
00:05:19.500
too um and it used to be a way for us to make some money for the company and pay the bills and keep the
00:05:25.880
lights turned on and you know youtube had other ideas um youtube has sort of become a censorship
00:05:34.040
platform they completely demonetized us after deciding that we couldn't qualify for ad dollars a
00:05:39.580
little while ago then they said no no you don't get super chats now too left a four hundred thousand
00:05:44.280
hole in the company and also us with the realization that our time really on youtube is borrowed so we
00:05:52.740
have you know plan b through zed and i say zed because i'm canadian um and you can find us on
00:05:58.620
other platforms so if you're watching us on youtube hi we're here for spite um they don't want us here
00:06:04.460
we're going to be here um and it's a great place for people to find us and if you're watching us on
00:06:10.080
youtube might i suggest you take a bit of an off ramp to a couple other platforms we are broadcasting
00:06:15.480
on rumble good canadian company um you can find us on odyssey and if you're on odyssey you can do
00:06:21.340
something there too called a hyper chat uh you have to buy odyssey's library cryptocurrency again i've not
00:06:28.440
found out about cryptocurrency and i must learn about it apparently it's the way of the future
00:06:32.120
um but you have to buy their library cryptocurrency and you can throw some of that our way and we'll read
00:06:37.940
your comment on air or you can go to super you and super you has something called a super you show
00:06:45.480
where you can um talk back and forth leave a comment and on super you you can also leave us a tip to
00:06:51.680
support the work that we do and if you leave us a tip then uh mr producer will uh let us know and
00:06:57.300
we'll read your question or comment on air and i think i have all the bases covered there i think you
00:07:02.300
do sheila and you know in case anyone is thinking that we're crying over spilt milk about losing all
00:07:08.300
the revenue uh from youtube it should be pointed out sheila that there was no valid reason for
00:07:14.900
demonetizing us they you know they gave us some kind of uh cockamamie uh rules against the community
00:07:22.600
and we and we went through those rules with a fine-toothed comb things like you know advocating
00:07:27.660
suicide for example right yeah um you know things like advocating dangerous stunt behavior none of
00:07:34.820
which we do it's not our bailiwick we would never do that you know i would almost respect youtube
00:07:40.420
more if they simply just said we hate you and your politics and we're pulling away instead of
00:07:46.900
lying about the reason they do it but that's how they that's how they roll in silicon valley isn't it
00:07:52.740
yeah they're like a country unto themselves they're in silicon valley they're like a country that exists
00:07:58.240
on the internet with their own rules with their own constitution with their own allowable and
00:08:03.380
way that you engage other people it's like its own culture and that culture has nothing to do with
00:08:09.420
freedom even though they exploited the first amendment to become what they are and make all their money
00:08:15.040
now you know now that they've become so powerful none of that matters because they can just make their
00:08:20.660
own rules oh well said sheila well said and i guess why don't we get right down to business i think
00:08:26.400
there was a media outlet uh was it ctv global maybe it was cbc it was about um grace life church
00:08:33.900
reopening oh what am i saying no of course it was not an outside media outlet it was our very own
00:08:39.380
sheila gun reed who did a fantastic interview with the pastor let's roll the video and you'll get a
00:08:45.480
sampling of what they discussed pastor coates first week back in the church since it was returned to
00:08:51.440
you after it was seized by the province for 90 j 90 days your church spent three times as long in jail
00:08:58.740
as you did what's the feeling like i it was pretty joyous for me what was it like well i've got to be
00:09:05.900
honest coming to church today for the first time in i believe seven months when we didn't need to be
00:09:12.140
concerned about the fear of um enforcement from the governing authorities was different and um and so
00:09:20.140
even leading up to today um i was wrestling in my heart with just the level of excitement that wasn't
00:09:28.840
there and and wondering what is that and why am i not more thrilled about this and i i can't
00:09:35.740
ultimately put my finger on that except to say that we've just gone through an incredibly difficult
00:09:41.240
season and i think it's going to take some time for us to adjust uh from that but today was amazing
00:09:49.640
just a wonderful morning of worship and um it just was such a blessing to gather today the way that we
00:09:58.720
did and so i am grateful to our lord it was for me a return to normal and i don't know what it was
00:10:07.520
like before but i didn't realize how abnormal some of the things were for example to see your deacons
00:10:13.900
and your elders who i've come to know worshiping with their families because before they used to
00:10:19.840
have to guard the door for the cops and alberta health services and the media um but they were with
00:10:26.660
their families and i realized how strange this must have been that now they can return to worship the
00:10:33.540
way it's supposed to be yeah i think this was um a huge dose of normality for for in a lot of ways i
00:10:42.340
mean even the offering you know we we haven't taken up an offering since i think prior to the onset of
00:10:48.260
covet 19 and uh and so you know pastor jacob spenst he uh we we said we're going to do the offering on
00:10:56.080
on sunday and and the offering really is an expression of worship i mean you know people can still give
00:11:01.140
even without that that offering time that we have in our service but that is an act of worship where
00:11:06.280
we we give to the lord out of what he's entrusted to us so anyway jacob uh he hadn't even seen how we
00:11:13.440
do that so he was just like how do you guys do that and so he got to see that today so yeah today was
00:11:18.280
a wonderful dose of normality i mean we we we have lived a very normal life apart from the fact that
00:11:24.800
we've had to anticipate the possibility of uh legal enforcement but our gatherings have been really
00:11:31.740
normal for a long time so whereas a lot of churches are coming back to normality in a way that they
00:11:36.580
haven't experienced at all for the last year so uh we've been doing this the entire time almost so
00:11:43.280
um but it was wonderful to be here and and for those guys to be able to be with their families again
00:11:47.760
uh was a rich blessing you know i'm glad that you mentioned pastor jacob because i think he's one
00:11:55.080
of the unsung heroes in all of this and i think some of that and maybe that's my fault it gets glossed
00:12:01.100
over you ended up in jail for 35 days for refusing to obey the government over god and your obligations
00:12:08.660
as a pastor jacob spent stepped up to that pulpit the very next week didn't skip a beat knowing he
00:12:16.040
could full well end up right beside you in jail or next cell i don't know you guys could start a band
00:12:22.280
um but i think people have sort of missed his bravery in all of this yeah i mean you know had he and i
00:12:33.780
been in jail together we could have had some sweet fellowship um but yeah the courage he showed
00:12:40.420
in particular that first sunday he had no idea what the outcome of that was going to be and i
00:12:48.320
remember being in prison and i was thinking about jacob i was thinking about tim and thankfully pastor
00:12:54.040
tim's out now too praise god um and just praying for these men and i was praying for them at that time
00:13:00.080
and and really didn't want them to have to suffer my fate i was hoping that by going to prison i'd keep
00:13:07.280
them out that didn't work out in tim's case but in jacob's case the courage he showed that first sunday
00:13:14.080
and and each sunday thereafter was amazing and so yeah the resolve the the unsung hero absolutely amen
00:13:23.580
yeah now you know sheila that was such a great interview and i urge our viewers to go and watch
00:13:29.100
the whole enchilada it's great i'll tell you what strikes me sheila right off the bat is that pastor
00:13:35.400
coates how diplomatic and gracious and polite he is as you mentioned he spent 35 days in the cooler
00:13:42.880
and we're not talking about some townhouse we're talking about edmonton's maximum security prison
00:13:50.220
a very dire place to spend even one night in and um i'm telling you he's a greater man than i
00:13:57.960
uh sheila because if you had done that to me on no valid grounds it's not like he committed a real
00:14:04.500
crime i think i would just be full of you know bile and spite and i i would still be angry uh how the
00:14:13.720
state took away my freedom for no valid reason well that's the thing like like i pointed out in the
00:14:20.260
video there are so many people in this that sort of are unsung heroes who uh you know for lack of a
00:14:28.420
better term did their best to conduct themselves in a christ-like manner uh pastor jacob spence
00:14:34.960
i mean pastor coates gets hauled away to jail and at the time nobody knew when he was getting out he
00:14:43.280
could have been in there for months and jake spence said you know what i'm on the pulpit
00:14:47.800
what comes comes and you know if they take me there'll be another and you know the the deacons
00:14:54.600
who are out there guarding the door every single week you know you when i was there and i was there
00:15:01.520
i think for about eight or nine weeks um so while pastor coates is in jail a little bit before and a
00:15:08.620
little bit after um you know that for me in that church my that was my experience but going back this
00:15:16.260
week you're like oh yeah that was that was really weird and it should not have happened that way and
00:15:20.340
you forget because you're living in it all the time um and it's funny because in talking with
00:15:26.380
pastor coates i sort of realized i'm like oh yeah he wasn't here and i was here and so he doesn't
00:15:33.720
really know who i know in the relationships i formed in those two plus months that i was here
00:15:38.560
um and so it's sort of strange because you feel like you're sort of catching up and comparing notes
00:15:43.700
a little bit and you know uh sheila the way i look at this whole story i call it political judo
00:15:49.840
because in the current events analysis yeah the state jailed pastor coates yeah they fenced off
00:15:57.820
his church uh so they won in terms of putting an anvil down in terms of services happening there
00:16:05.500
but in a historical context people will look back on this as they are right now and did jason kenny
00:16:13.400
and did chandro really score a victory given that this got media attention around the world this was
00:16:21.940
shameful so the judo part it's kind of like pastor coates used the weight of the state against them
00:16:29.780
in flipping them over because he comes out smelling like a rose and for premier kenny it is just i hear
00:16:38.140
the cersei game of thrones shame bell still ringing yeah and you know it really depends what your
00:16:45.820
motivation is so if your motivation is to squash the christian church well then you don't know the
00:16:51.260
history of the christian church because the christian church thrives under persecution the original
00:16:56.380
persecution of the christians caused them to flee and when they fled they spread christianity across
00:17:03.760
the globe so and then with pastor coates his service this past sunday was the biggest one yet
00:17:12.700
they had 150 people outside in tents the entire church was full the vestibule was full upstairs was
00:17:20.280
full people were sitting in their cars listening um i mean they had to start parking cars
00:17:25.500
off the property on the farmer next door's land um because it was just so full so if your plan was to
00:17:32.560
demoralize christians didn't work and if it was jason kenny's intention to show people how he
00:17:42.320
handled the pandemic in a smart way i i don't really know what his motivation would be when you've got
00:17:51.260
ron de sandis the rock star of the lockdown critics critical of what happened to religious freedom here
00:18:00.480
in canada when you've got scott walker weighing in when you've got josh hawley writing letters saying
00:18:06.100
maybe we should put these people on a watch list alongside iraq and china um and afghanistan those are the
00:18:13.560
other people on the list that he wants us to join um you know you didn't handle the pandemic the way
00:18:21.920
you think you did now within alberta's insular media bubble who are constantly cheering for the
00:18:29.380
lockdown yeah you might think under the dome in edmonton as they say under the dome of the
00:18:35.580
legislature you did a good job but out there in the real world people are like what in god's name
00:18:41.400
happened to jason kenny and what is happening in that country wow why did you have to mention ron
00:18:47.120
de santis i look at the the face of conservatives in the u.s that is the image that immediately
00:18:52.440
springs to mind and then i look at who's the leader of the opposition in canada it's erin o'toole
00:18:59.080
oh my goodness can you tell a difference oh yeah i can tell a difference can you shield
00:19:05.140
did you see some of maybe justin can bring them up some of erin o'toole's tweets over the weekend
00:19:10.920
where he's just like taking a picture of himself i don't know what he's doing he's not door knocking
00:19:15.880
but he's standing there with an umbrella talking to people and that's like his bold like look at me
00:19:22.480
i'm an energizing conservative campaign move boy i can i can really feel the intensity aaron like
00:19:29.620
you know like you look at ron de santis he's fighting with the media he knows exactly yeah see
00:19:33.740
this one rain won't stop good grief look at that yeah the rain won't stop him from visiting but the
00:19:42.680
uh the ontario lockdown order probably does right sheila yeah can we just go back there for a second
00:19:49.280
oh at least he's not wearing a mask sometimes he's wearing a mask and i'm like you're fully
00:19:53.320
vaccinated i'm pretty sure plus didn't you already have covid like why are you wearing a mask at this
00:19:59.020
point like how many layers of immunization do you have to get going for you before you take that
00:20:04.120
thing off your face but this is um can you feel the fire david can you feel it just burning gosh
00:20:12.160
anyway we should get some of these chats justin says in my ear
00:20:16.740
uh we've got a rumble chat from joyful art from the heart says she feels
00:20:22.360
sad when people look at me and ask do you think we'll be back to normal soon yeah you know and
00:20:28.680
the further we get away from normal the i think a lot of people aren't going to remember it like
00:20:34.820
they're really there's a lot of people who are really adjusting to how things are and they
00:20:38.920
really like it i was at um and i should maybe talk about this because um you know sometimes a
00:20:47.860
facebook post and a complaint uh can change the world um but yeah like i was at costco the other
00:20:55.700
day and i would say this is alberta and like 25 of the people were still wearing masks and i think okay
00:21:02.020
fine you want fine you want to wear a mask you're a true believer that's great um i'm not i'm gonna and
00:21:09.900
thank goodness that we don't have to wear them anymore but i thought wow like there are just some
00:21:15.760
people who are just they're deep in the throes of this madness and i don't know how they're ever
00:21:20.480
going to get back out i really don't no they they really drunk the kool-aid and i can tell you you
00:21:24.620
know and it's funny depending on the jurisdiction you're in uh you're mass free where you are uh
00:21:30.220
sheila and yet when mocha and i uh went to ottawa we were in the ottawa airport and mocha pointed out
00:21:36.400
that the uh public service announcement uh saying the de rigueur masks are mandatory in the airport
00:21:43.420
and in the aircraft added in the line uh we recommend double masks and mocha said to me
00:21:51.320
how soon is the recommendation going to be a rule that you got to put two of those face diapers on
00:21:57.520
you um and it flying was already an atrociously bad experience just by going through the pat-down
00:22:05.540
area and the you know the overpriced undercooked food you get in airports but this social distancing
00:22:12.860
masking rubbish it has just made it like like the the least thing i want to do right now is get on
00:22:21.000
an airplane sheila it's a horrible experience those flight attendants look like they're going into brain
00:22:27.940
surgery like they are wearing like the booties smock hair thing mask some goggles sometimes they wear like
00:22:36.180
the shield gloves like they look like they work in the ebola ward and they're just flying the friendly
00:22:44.460
skies oh some friendly skies um i gotta i got one of those covid karen uh stewardesses give me a little
00:22:52.680
uh mild reminder of the policy on air canada which is basically uh governor newsom's uh policy that
00:23:00.520
you know she saw me with my mask off because i was drinking and she says sir your mask and i said
00:23:06.440
i'm drinking and then she said yeah but we like it if you take a sip put your mask on and then take
00:23:15.300
the mask off for the next step i'm not making this up sheila you know uh i was too slow on the draw with
00:23:21.040
my uh cell phone camera uh to record this uh rubbish and by the way folks uh will you hear our next story
00:23:27.500
from down under about precisely the same thing drinking a beverage that got one man a whole heap
00:23:33.920
of trouble but i think we have some more chats don't we sheila yes and david you should have brought
00:23:38.640
your like nose mask thing on your air canada flight and seen if that was kosher um and if you don't
00:23:46.640
know what sheila's referring to folks some mexican researchers back in april we thought it was an april
00:23:51.620
fool's joke but we couldn't get any confirmation um they were saying that if you go to a patio now
00:23:57.880
um you gotta have your mouth open for eating and drinking but there's absolutely no excuse for
00:24:05.300
leaving your nostrils open so they recommended a nose mask and i i said well you know one of the
00:24:12.060
best-selling novelty items of all time the groucho marks nose and fake glasses oh there's mr producer
00:24:17.760
always johnny on the spot so i went to a patio i love this so much boy did i get some looks that day
00:24:24.340
and so this is how the authorities some of them want you to look at that woman looking out her food
00:24:31.280
truck she thinks there's a maniac in the at the picnic table eyebrows are the best like that's like
00:24:37.300
what is that carpet wait for her so there you go uh you know and by the way that's a fallacy too
00:24:45.200
sheila i don't you especially if you go to fine dining don't you like to smell the food you know
00:24:51.520
and and the bouquet of the wine uh but no here's what some mexican researchers wanted this guy was
00:24:59.620
this guy was a gem he runs one of the food uh trucks there down at young dundas and uh uh he couldn't
00:25:05.560
believe what he was seeing he just wants to serve people food right but i just have a hard time
00:25:11.760
believing that you smell the bouquet of the wine before you do any of that i've had a few drakes
00:25:17.560
with you david and i don't know if there's any like wine swirling happening at all although you do
00:25:23.040
like your whiskey which is one of the most asked questions we get out on the street is uh did david
00:25:29.680
get his bottle of whiskey and to answer that question no and uh a young lawyer at um our uh firm
00:25:37.620
that is doing all the fight uh the fines uh cases i sent him the chronology on the weekend
00:25:43.600
and uh if you can imagine folks we are going to send the lcbo a demand letter to give me my bottle
00:25:52.380
that i paid for but they won't give me for reasons that still remain unexplained other than they're a
00:25:58.380
government-run monopoly and as much as i despise monopolies the worst monopolies are the ones run
00:26:05.660
by the bureaucracy so there will be an update when they get the demand letter because
00:26:10.800
sheila is this really going to be headed to small claims god i hope so i hope so
00:26:16.880
i'm going to cover it like i'm nancy grace i am i'm i can't wait
00:26:22.840
now justin i know you really want us to proceed with these um chats but i did send you a picture
00:26:30.060
that i took when i was down at my local farm supply store the pv mart because i'm an devoted
00:26:37.900
yeah pv mart i'm a devoted pv mart customer and for those of you outside of the west i think although
00:26:46.200
you might be getting the pv marts in the east now so congratulations uh you're gonna love them
00:26:50.840
it's like your one-stop store store it's like home hardware but more farm supply involved um you can get
00:26:59.820
your wranglers there your beekeeping supplies your canning supplies your plants your chicken feed
00:27:06.140
your cattle waterer like it's got everything it's everything plus nuts and bolts and hardware and
00:27:11.300
casters and all those things like if i need it pv mart has it and if pv mart doesn't have it
00:27:16.940
i'm pretty sure i don't need it so anyway i what strolling into my pv mart it's you know like
00:27:24.340
july 2nd or something and i'm strutting into pv mart because that's my happy place right
00:27:28.900
and i see this horrible sign on the door at the sherwood park pv mart and i am just beside myself
00:27:35.340
i didn't go in i actually drove to another town i drove back to fort saskatchewan to go to the ufh
00:27:41.560
the united farmers so anyways uh they said that they decided pv industry so that's as a company has
00:27:49.520
decided that mandatory mask regulations for our stores stores so not just this store
00:27:55.460
will apply until august 2nd for the safety of our customers and our staff blah blah blah blah
00:28:00.960
so i snapped this picture and i put it on my facebook and i put it on twitter and all i said
00:28:07.100
was i didn't say anything mean i just said that's fine i'll go to the ufa because they're not the only
00:28:13.980
gig in town i just really like them so anyways uh i get a message from pv mart after like i guess
00:28:22.120
pv mart was put on blast i get a message from pv mart corporate who tracked me down on twitter
00:28:28.160
that's another thing i should add i was like holy moly i think pv mart's getting like a lot of blowback
00:28:34.420
and i felt like it was a little much and i like pv mart so i thought you know what i'm just gonna
00:28:39.120
take a break from pv mart i'll be back on august 2nd they were getting so much blowback that even
00:28:44.520
though i deleted the tweet and my facebook post they tracked me down on twitter pv mart corporate
00:28:51.440
sent me a message that said that's not a decision that we made as a company that is my words i'll just
00:28:59.660
summarize that's the sherwood park store going rogue the pv mart industries did not make this decision
00:29:05.160
wow and this is a very misleading sign and we're investigating how that sign came to be
00:29:10.980
now i drove past pv mart yesterday longingly lovingly uh however i didn't need to go in and
00:29:17.100
spend any money because every time i drive past a pv mart 200 just jumps out of my wallet um and that
00:29:22.860
sign had come down so um anyway problem solved people in sherwood park and surrounding areas go back
00:29:30.340
to your beloved pv mart sheila you i you have to go back to that particular pv mart because uh i want
00:29:39.240
to know who is responsible for that sign going up and on what basis i have no doubt especially since
00:29:46.200
you shopped there for farm equipment that pv marts are fantastic places for that but what made this
00:29:52.240
manager assuming it's a manager i don't know if they're franchisees if it was a franchisee that made
00:29:57.400
this decision what makes them think they're infectious disease experts to go against you know
00:30:04.000
the grain in terms of uh even alberta health services for goodness sake yeah and um i that's
00:30:10.300
and if i'm the ceo of pv industries i'm my i'm having a volcanic eruption out of my head yeah how dare
00:30:19.600
not only a franchisee or an owner or a manager goes rogue but it puts right the opening line is pv
00:30:28.240
industries when pv industries had nothing to do with this i think that's an incredible story and
00:30:33.520
it reminds me maybe mr producer can find this for a later time um when we went to dufferin street we
00:30:40.740
were tipped off and if i hadn't seen the video i wouldn't have believed believe that it was a home
00:30:45.180
hardware outlet do you remember this one sheila where a guy who had a mask exemption and this guy
00:30:51.380
sought out the little home hardware because he wanted to give money to the little guy even though
00:30:56.380
there's a home depot less than two kilometers away and instead of being rewarded for that he had the
00:31:03.640
merchandise snapped out of his hands he was frog marched out the door by uh by a karen and then when
00:31:11.220
he pointed out look the city of toronto notice in your own door it says uh there are exemptions
00:31:19.280
for for those who have medical reasons not to wear a mask an employee came out with a piece of duct tape
00:31:27.260
covered over which you're not allowed to do as i found out from the city you can't alter a sign that
00:31:32.920
way but i mean holy red green yet another use for duct tape you know to make people wear their
00:31:40.380
wear their masks so that's what your little anecdote reminded me when it comes to going rogue
00:31:46.720
and playing fast and loose with the the masking rules yeah like this is the message i got directly
00:31:54.500
from pv mart we're looking to how and why that sign was posted we want to make it clear that we follow
00:31:58.880
any regulations in each area that we operate so unless a municipality specifically requires us
00:32:04.900
our stores in alberta do not require customer mask use and wearing the sign posted was quite misleading
00:32:11.200
and not our position and they were very grateful that i took the post down because i guess they
00:32:16.800
were getting a lot of heat they said we appreciate you taking the post down on your end and we want
00:32:20.380
to be as clear as we can be we've always done our best and what was right we will be speaking with
00:32:25.440
the store and ensuring that it's understood and re-communicating if necessary oh i think it's
00:32:29.720
necessary um we are 100 not forcing our customers to wear masks and we follow all local restrictions
00:32:35.160
and customers in alberta do not require masks when shopping with us the sign posted from that
00:32:39.760
location has been removed and we're looking into why it was posted in the first place and it was
00:32:44.480
removed because i drove past yesterday to make sure it was well sheila sheila good for pv industries
00:32:49.360
for doing the right thing and and let's make no mistake pv industries is a victim here this was a rogue
00:32:56.340
uh person and you like i said you have to go back to that store and find out who the dimwit was that
00:33:03.340
put that sign up in the first place and made it a misleading sign that oh well it's not us it's pv
00:33:10.120
industries the parent company of pv mark when that was a lie so there's so many things wrong with that
00:33:17.020
sign and you have to follow up sheila i should say well i mean i can't order you around you're the
00:33:22.100
chief journalist here but if i had your title i'm ordering you to follow up i also was giving some
00:33:30.020
thought to the fact that this manager obviously victimized his poor staff because his poor staff
00:33:35.460
obviously are thinking they need to make sure that the customers are wearing masks when they walk in
00:33:41.040
the door and so a lot of people in alberta are like the hell i'm wearing a mask and so they're
00:33:45.380
probably being prickly with the the girls and the guys who are running the tills and helping everybody
00:33:51.300
out because their manager is making them enforce mask laws that aren't the case so this the staff got
00:33:56.540
victimized by all of this too oh what a jabroni whoever was responsible for that sign that it's beyond
00:34:03.860
jabroni it's super king kong godzilla jabroni okay that's yeah that's what the moral of the story
00:34:11.720
though is that this western based company that hopefully is moving east and you guys will enjoy
00:34:18.600
the wonders of pv mart um they did the right thing they they rectified the problem with me
00:34:25.040
directly they found me even though i deleted the post and they're straightening out the store so
00:34:30.440
i mean in a time when corporations are woke and they are you know just enforcing laws just because
00:34:38.300
they can because they can do things inside their stores this is a company that is respecting the
00:34:43.780
laws in the places that they work and i think that's great and you know what sheila when they
00:34:47.200
do movies i'm going to support this company for them doing the right thing uh you said i can buy a
00:34:53.480
beehive there right or something yep yep you can order bees there you can order chicks there like
00:34:59.200
you can get whatever you need it's at the pv mart i promise brake cleaner like everything wow
00:35:10.860
hey sheila can't got your tongue oh my god the b emoji oh i can't wait till they take that away from
00:35:21.700
you um okay so we've got a hyper chat from history club world it was just announced that mary simon
00:35:27.320
will be the next governor general what do you think of her and do you believe that there should be a
00:35:31.320
governor general do you did you get my tip yesterday yes we did follow history club world
00:35:36.400
on instagram so mary simon is i think she's inuit um and if she's not oh i'm gonna get letters but i
00:35:44.960
think she's inuit um and uh so she's the first indigenous uh governor general but also she doesn't
00:35:56.880
speak french which i think is um a step in the right direction because i think the french language
00:36:06.020
laws and they're not really laws but they're like if you want to move up in the bureaucracy if you
00:36:11.640
want to be a supreme court justice if you want to be in charge of any if you want to be a deputy
00:36:16.320
minister if you want to have any sort of role of influence in the federal government you have to be
00:36:22.700
completely fluent in french which by and large completely cuts westerners out of the equation
00:36:29.560
it protects the fact that canada is run by central and easterners and so for me i think this is a step
00:36:37.420
in the right direction because look if it's good enough for mary simon it's good enough for any other
00:36:42.380
albertan who wants to be a supreme court justice who is not completely fluent in french well but
00:36:47.140
she did issue a statement that she's going to learn french on dang it good luck with that i've
00:36:54.340
tried to learn french twice i wish i could speak french i really do i don't and the only thing
00:36:58.800
the only french word i know folks is uh no cadeau uh which when i check my lottery tickets means
00:37:05.300
it's yet again another losing ticket do you know i want to learn a language that i can use when i
00:37:12.340
uh am enjoying some time off work like spanish so if i want to go to mexico like i would take time
00:37:18.660
off work to go to mexico but like if i did i would like to use a language that would be valuable there
00:37:23.660
or um learn a base language like dutch or german because those are i i guess from what i understand
00:37:31.440
make it easier to learn other languages so um you know i don't know well i'm resistant to learning
00:37:39.380
french is not going to like to hear this uh sheila and there are you know i'm resistant to it you
00:37:43.920
know you can go to countries around the world where they still speak french other than france like
00:37:49.040
um haiti uh and i'm sure there's some more so there you go yeah there's some failed states in africa
