Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Canada's awful new passport, Trump dominates CNN, Poilievre calls to cut carbon tax

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you have tuned into the Daily Roundup on this

00:00:19.740 a Thursday, May 11th, 2023. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you a little

00:00:27.720 bit about my co-host. Do you know what, folks? Today is National Twilight Zone Day and my friend,

00:00:35.320 she does not celebrate it because living in Canada, it's the Twilight Zone every day. She is

00:00:41.880 the she-devil with a spatula. She is the Khaleesi of the greater Coburg area. She is Tamara Ugolini.

00:00:50.560 I had a pregnant pause there, Tamara, because you have a different hairstyle. You look very

00:00:55.740 corporate today. It's a very flattering look. It basically solidifies my theory that females make

00:01:03.700 the best spies. You can change your look like that. What can a guy do, put one of those phony

00:01:09.020 baloney mustaches on or shave our head? But I digress. How are you doing? And what's your

00:01:14.200 favorite episode of the Twilight Zone, Tamara? You're always putting me on the spot with these

00:01:19.420 culture. I don't watch the Twilight Zone. Like you said, we're living in it. We just have to try

00:01:26.500 to persevere through each day here in Canada. And of course, on the live stream, it's kind of like an

00:01:31.160 impromptu Twilight Zone because you're never sure what you're going to get with David Menzies.

00:01:36.860 Well, you know what? I'm going to tell you my favorite episode and I'm going to tell you why

00:01:41.580 I have the right answer. The name of the episode is Walking Distance. And about 15 years ago at the

00:01:49.040 unveiling of the Twilight Zone attraction at Disneyland in California, I actually got to bump

00:01:56.900 into Rod Serling's widow. And we had a great discussion. She was a lovely lady. And I said he

00:02:04.160 created so much work. And I know he had a great assessment of his work on the Twilight Zone. He said

00:02:10.040 one-third were great, one-third were passable, one-third were dogs. And I said to her,

00:02:16.480 what was Rod Serling's favorite episode? And she said, Walking Distance. You could have knocked me

00:02:23.260 over with a feather. A beautiful episode. It makes me cry every time I see it. Yeah, that's right,

00:02:29.300 folks. I cry. There is a softer side of Sears in my body. It's such a beautiful episode. If you can

00:02:35.880 find it, watch it. Walking Distance, I strongly urge you to do the same. Tamara Ugolini.

00:02:42.320 There you go. Well, I think that we need photos or it didn't happen. We need some pictures or some

00:02:47.680 video footage of David Menzies crying. Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, no, no. I'm only crying because,

00:02:55.580 hey, I'm only human. You know, crucify me if you must. But the idea of video evidence going up with

00:03:01.880 me crying. I'd run away to a closet. I don't even want my kids to see me cry. Okay. I don't know if

00:03:08.160 we want to hear you coming out of the closet, David. Yes. Well, the day you'll see me publicly

00:03:12.860 cry is when the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup. In other words, I'll be six feet under.

00:03:19.040 So I have no worry of that footage getting out. But we digress. Tamara Ugolini, what is the

00:03:26.600 ostensible policy reason of what we're trying to do here? Oh, I don't know if there's a policy reason

00:03:31.860 per se, but it's our way of dissecting and providing commentary on the news of the day. So if you're

00:03:36.900 joining us at home, this is our daily live stream where, like I mentioned, we will dissect and comment

00:03:42.340 on the news of the day and share current happenings with our viewers at home. So we're streaming

00:03:48.440 on a few different platforms. There's YouTube, Rumble, Odyssey, Getter, and Twitter. And I think

00:03:56.900 I'm remembering all of them correctly because they've changed. And also on locals.com. So if

00:04:01.960 you, depending on which platform you're on, you should see a description box. If you scroll down

00:04:06.160 to it and it will, in there, you should be able to find a link to the locals platform. We're trying

00:04:12.680 out this new platform. Um, and it's kind of like a one-stop shop where you can find all

00:04:18.680 of our content. So let us know. We're happy to, we're open to your feedback. We want to

00:04:23.360 know what our viewers think of that platform. Um, so scroll on over there and click and check

00:04:28.260 it out. And then of course, on some of those platforms, unfortunately, no longer YouTube

00:04:32.320 because they have demonetized us completely due to our wrong think and our questioning of,

00:04:38.220 uh, primarily the COVID narrative and some of the things that were hailed as safe and

00:04:41.300 effective. So on Rumble and, uh, Getter, you can engage in with us by giving us a Rumble

00:04:49.100 rant or a hyper chat. And so that's a fun way to support our independent journalism and

00:04:53.940 also, um, get some feedback from us or tip, give us a tip, uh, something that you think

00:04:58.620 that we should dive into, look further into. So I encourage anyone who's not on one of those

00:05:04.080 platforms, just head on over there and shoot us some chats because we love to hear from

00:05:08.520 our viewers and it helps keep the lights on. So, um, as David mentioned, I don't know if

00:05:13.380 you said what day it was, David, but if I missed that it's Thursday, May the 11th, and apparently

00:05:17.520 it's national twilight zone day. Um, so that's, that's always a good time. I'm always interested

00:05:22.700 to know like just what, what day is it today? What's David going to come up with? Um, it's

00:05:27.680 always a fun way to, to kick off the stream, but we also have a couple of days ago on national

00:05:34.920 sleepover day. I think your pajamas were still at the dry cleaners, but by the way, I thought

00:05:39.900 the deal was whenever we do the daily roundup together, Tamara Ugolini, you were going to drive

00:05:44.540 in from the COVID area and do it in person. You said you did, you said, why aren't you here? By the

00:05:50.400 way, am I reminding you of one of your young children? You know, we committed to Tamara Tuesdays,

00:05:55.700 anything more than that. I have commitment issues with, but the thing is, is that by the

00:05:59.480 time you sift through the insane traffic on the 401, like it's a four hour round trip

00:06:04.380 there and back for me to, to try to make it home. And then the last few Tuesdays and for

00:06:09.000 any of our viewers at home who, who might not know, I have young children at home. And so

00:06:12.360 I actually didn't even see them. Like I saw them in the morning to get them off to their

00:06:16.260 various spots. And then I didn't see them at all before they went to bed because by the time

00:06:19.980 you navigate traffic and you try to get everything done in the office. Um, so it's a really

00:06:23.960 long day, which I love, I love being in the office. I love joining you in person. I think

00:06:28.340 that it, it is definitely a better, better commentary sitting side by side. Um, so it's

00:06:33.900 great, but I have to limit it because at home sacrifices, you know, they, um, they suffer

00:06:39.320 here at home when the mom's not there. So that's the reason why, um, I, I limit it to one or

00:06:45.560 two days a week. So sorry to our viewers at home, but that's my roundabout reasoning for

00:06:51.660 why I'm hosting to at home today. Um, because let us reiterate, it is a four hour round trip

00:06:57.260 on the 401. Not exactly the Shackleton expedition to Antarctica a hundred years ago, but you know

00:07:04.880 what? I get it. The community can be. Well, and now that we have such great access to the

00:07:11.720 technologies of the internet, we, you know, we have, I have this new webcam, so might as

00:07:15.780 I'll put it to good use, I suppose. Um, all right. So we, we have our first news item of

00:07:21.480 the day to share with our viewers in case they aren't already aware, which many of you I'm sure

00:07:25.580 are. We have, the federal government has unveiled a new passport design. Um, so I guess out of

00:07:33.240 necessity, we needed to take historical context and pictures and imagery out of our passport and

00:07:39.460 instead replace them with more nature. How fitting for the climate alarmism agenda that the feds moved

00:07:45.720 forward with this. So here, yeah, we have, I think this is the CBC's article, which I had pulled

00:07:51.940 up and now of course it's gone. Um, so it says Canada's passport is getting a makeover. So it already

00:07:57.660 did with a new design that will feature more natural landscapes and wildlife and fewer Canadian

00:08:03.320 historical moments and monuments. And, uh, they tried to take the feedback of what Canada

00:08:09.500 represents. Frazier said that's the, uh, refugees and citizenship minister, Sean Frazier. And there's

00:08:17.180 one part of this article that I wanted to point out on that exact note. It's that the, um, the Royal

00:08:24.280 Canadian Legion criticized, this is about halfway down the page, criticized the redesign for removing an

00:08:31.340 image of the Vimy Ridge Memorial. And they quote, we are disappointed by the decision to remove an

00:08:37.080 image that signifies the sacrifices made for the very sort of freedom that passport provides. The

00:08:43.380 Legion said in a media statement. And, uh, so it's funny that at the same time that the government is

00:08:50.360 trying to improve their imagery, um, they're taking away imagery that symbolizes the exact reason why we

00:08:57.480 are able to have the freedom of movement that the passport sort of encompasses.

00:09:02.220 What an atrocity. Um, Tamara, um, I'm going to call it like the umpire. I applaud the government

00:09:09.500 for enhancing the security features of the passport. That's fine. Technology advances and we need to make

00:09:17.500 sure that the right people are getting into the country. But here's the question I have for you,

00:09:24.980 my friend, why, why remove the Vimy Ridge Memorial? Why remove the great Canadian hero, Terry Fox?

00:09:35.060 This is yet again, the blackface liberals eradicating Canada's history. I mean, come on animals and

00:09:44.260 seascapes and what have you. That is atrocious. It's means nothing. Those landscapes could be basically

00:09:52.800 any country in the same hemisphere that we're in, but there's only one Vimy Ridge Memorial. There's

00:09:59.240 only one Terry Fox, uh, God bless his soul. And I don't, it's never been explained why you had to

00:10:08.740 remove that. Uh, you know, in addition to putting in the enhanced security elements, you know, it's

00:10:15.300 amazing. I'm looking at the cover. Here's my passport. It's incredible that the coat of arms,

00:10:20.720 uh, existed and like, look at these drawings. I mean, these aren't exactly, uh, and then Tamara,

00:10:29.500 to me, they, they look like just one step removed from stick men, you know, I like I'm a crap artist.

00:10:36.700 I could draw that if you gave me enough. Yeah. The rainbows. There's a lot of, uh, weird sort of

00:10:43.060 modern new age imagery happening. But I think that the, the whole basis of the redesign, as you mentioned,

00:10:48.580 David was this new security feature. And if you go back to this CBC article, um, I guess about

00:10:56.460 three quarters of the way down. So they detail what the new security features are. And it says

00:11:02.460 that the new passport includes state-of-the-art security features designed to keep Canadians

00:11:06.120 identities safe, such as a polycarbonate data page, a technology similar to Canada's driver's

00:11:12.740 licenses. And, uh, the passport holders, personal information, it will now be laser engraved

00:11:18.440 instead of being printed with ink, making the data page more durable and resistant to tampering

00:11:24.040 and counterfeiting. And then you can see there that they have that visible chip and antenna. So it's,

00:11:30.640 it's, it's literally a digitized passport. But you know, Tamara, that aside and whether,

00:11:37.920 you know, I, and, and whether what, whatever side you're on in terms of the digitized passport,

00:11:43.000 digitized currency, what have you, I'm just saying that if this was their directive to go ahead with

00:11:49.100 this, fine. But why did it mean to erase Canadian history, to get rid of the Vimy Ridge Memorial and

00:11:57.540 Terry Fox that I don't understand and have these, there's a moose, uh, and there, oh yeah, there's,

00:12:03.680 what, what is that? A duck, I guess. A goose? No, it's the Canadian goose. You can barely tell. I

00:12:09.300 understand there's an illustration of a squirrel gathering nuts. And you know, it reminded me.

00:12:14.900 Very Canadian. Yeah. Last month, Lady Menzoid gave me this. It's a birthday card. It's your birthday.

00:12:21.760 And as Scotty, the squirrel would say, look what happened. See it. He's, he's moving his nuts up and

00:12:29.160 down. It's like, why isn't this part of our Canadian passport, by the way, it says you're

00:12:34.540 not old enough. As long as you can remember where your nuts are. Happy birthday. I know where the

00:12:40.120 nuts are. The cashews are on the top shelf next to the peanut butter. Anyway, what I'm saying is that

00:12:48.560 this is insidious. I don't know if she consented to you sharing your birthday card. That's a,

00:12:54.760 that's some personal information there, David. Well, the first thing I checked was the price,

00:13:00.760 $8.99. That gets a thumbs up. Wow. How's that for inflation?

00:13:07.320 I think that the whole, the whole idea that this redesign needed to happen was of course,

00:13:12.000 to implement this chip, this security chip and further fuel the digitization of everything.

00:13:19.640 We're all going to be interconnected into the internet of things. And if you aren't familiar with

00:13:23.940 that technology or what I'm referring to, you can literally, you can just quite literally take to

00:13:30.140 any search engine and type in the internet of things. But I think that the imagery and the,

00:13:37.760 the removal of the historical context and features is kind of a distraction to that bigger issue,

00:13:45.660 which is the moving forward with this digitization of everything, our whole society, the restructuring.

00:13:53.940 of our society to be digitally centric. And, um, it's just further, like, this is what Marxists do

00:14:02.600 really though, is remove that kind of historical context, those figures, that imagery and replace

00:14:09.320 it with benign things like, like nature. And it really is all just related to the agendas that the

00:14:18.220 liberals are pushing forward, this surveillance system, the surveillance state, but also under the guise

00:14:26.340 of being, you know, for the climate. And look at us, we're Canada now, we have all this climate imagery in

00:14:31.640 our passport. So we care and we want to be green. And we want to respect the environment and the earth and

00:14:37.180 the animals. And I'm not saying that don't do any of those things. But it's all being used to usher in this

00:14:43.840 surveillance state, tax people out of their yahoos. And for what so that the the the oligarchs and the leaders

00:14:53.360 can still jet set across the the country and the world and eat their filet mignon and have their steak and we're

00:15:00.840 supposed to sit at home with our chip and eat the bugs. And if we don't, then our social credit score is

00:15:06.420 plummeting because we had too much beef this week. Yeah, you know what, maybe we'll all have one

00:15:15.160 social credit identity card. It's your everything and how better to keep control of us. By the way,

00:15:22.840 the last illustrations that we're going by, is it just me, Tamara? But does that remind you of those

00:15:28.000 cheesy black velvet paintings? You know, the all the bulldogs sitting around playing poker,

00:15:33.800 smoking cigars. You know, look, look at that. I mean, that's what you you go to the variety store.

00:15:42.600 If you forgot to buy mom a birthday present and all the malls are closed and this is what you buy

00:15:49.700 for 20 bucks and you hope she's going to forgive you under the auspices of, well, it's the thought

00:15:56.740 that counts. But that is the legion is well within its rights to be offended. I understand they weren't

00:16:05.220 consulted about the dropping of the Vimy Ridge Memorial because of course, why would they?

00:16:13.120 Oh, yeah. Blackfoot Blackface knows what's best for all of us, even those in the military and those

00:16:18.440 who served and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Blackface knows better. What a disgrace.

00:16:24.260 I wonder if there's anything. I mean, they're getting public backlash on this, Tamara. And I

00:16:30.820 will say it's apolitical. I see it on the left and the right that this is described. I mean,

00:16:36.900 who has a problem with the Vimy Ridge Memorial? Who has a problem with Terry Fox? This transcends

00:16:43.840 political boundaries. And maybe since they haven't started printing these, this can be addressed.

00:16:52.180 There can be a fix. What do you think?

00:16:55.920 Yeah, I mean, we'll see what the media does. Usually the media is just the cheerleaders for

00:17:00.140 whatever the government, especially the federal government, Justin Trudeau, liberals, they just

00:17:03.780 cheerlead whatever he does and fall in line and ask for more of whatever the flavor of the day is. So

00:17:09.740 maybe with some media pushback, we'll see. But what I'm also really interested in finding out here is

00:17:14.680 just how much this redesign costs Canadians. So we had to implement this chip somehow,

00:17:20.740 right? We had to develop this microchip into the passports. And so that would probably came with

00:17:27.500 a hefty price tag. But just the graphic design on this alone, I think that we have actually filed

00:17:33.560 an access to information request. And for anyone who doesn't know, we do extensive access to

00:17:38.360 information requests all the time to government entities and institutions. And so you can check out

00:17:44.080 those reports at rebelinvestigates.com. And so usually it's about 30 days unless they try to

00:17:50.580 filibuster it. I've had an access to information request take up to two years to get back, which was

00:17:55.900 to do with some deaths in long-term care throughout the COVID hysteria. So this one, I would imagine,

00:18:01.840 would be back within the month or so. But we have filed an access to information request,

00:18:06.080 to my knowledge, to find out just how much this costs Canadian taxpayers. And I think that this has

00:18:11.100 been an ongoing thing since the Conservative government was in. I think this has been in

00:18:15.340 the works for about 10 years. So I don't remember where I read that, but it's not a new thing. Like

00:18:25.480 this wasn't just unveiled, you know, in the last week or two. Oh, then Tamara, scratch my idea of a

00:18:30.840 redo. If it took 10 years, I don't think we have the appetite to wait till 2033. And one last thing on

00:18:39.520 this before we move on, this whole idea of all these nature scenes, you know, with geese and

00:18:45.600 squirrels. Do any Canadians need to be reminded of the nature of Canada? I live in a very urban

00:18:53.660 environment. Let me tell you, I see nature 24-7 at Casamanzoid. Chipmunks, squirrels, skunks. You know,

00:19:03.000 I'm so underground with nature. There's a raccoon that has this habit of climbing up my shed in the

00:19:11.040 middle of the night. I'm going to catch him one day, I swear. And he basically does his business

00:19:16.500 on the roof of the shed, leaving his calling card. So I reach out to our viewers. Does anyone know one

00:19:22.660 of those raccoon removal services? That's my affinity with nature, okay? I don't want these

00:19:29.720 critters on my passport. I'm already overwhelmed by them at my house, but we digress. We have one

00:19:37.280 super chat here that I'll just get to you before we change topics. It comes from Mike Freedom Honey.

00:19:42.700 He gives $5. Thank you. He says, myself and other vets are quite pissed at the removal of the Vimy

00:19:48.460 Ridge Memorial. We understand the need for a new passport, but trying to erase history is garbage.

00:19:54.480 Again, it's literally what Marxists do. Hey, and I echo that, Mike. And by the way, Mike,

00:20:01.700 I just received two days ago, a beautiful package from you and Pedro, I believe, from Freedom Honey.

00:20:07.680 I'm going to give you a proper shout out next week with Sheila. I'm going to bring in what you sent,

00:20:12.920 t-shirts, calendars, all themed via the Freedom Movement and the F. Trudeau Movement. Oh,

00:20:23.300 I'm so sorry, Erin O'Toole. I didn't mean to offend your suburban sensibilities there. But thank you so

00:20:29.680 much. And I'll tell you, Tamara, that merchandise that Mike sent along, those t-shirts, the fabric is so

00:20:36.460 soft. Wow. Oh, well, maybe we can get a connection. Thank you to Mike and thank you for the donation too.

00:20:42.540 Okay. CSIS Canada. CSIS is committed to building a more inclusive future for all. Oh, here comes the

00:20:53.940 word salad, folks. When gender-based analysis plus, gender-based analysis plus, it sounds like,

00:21:01.480 I don't know, some prostate vitamin you'd buy at the health food store, informs what we do and how we do

00:21:08.980 it. It strengthens our efforts to protect Canada from a wide range of threats and better safeguard

00:21:16.300 our rights and freedoms. Oh, you mean like Chinese interference in the elections, like Chinese police

00:21:23.280 stations operating in our dominion? Oh yeah. Blackface is really hardcore on that file right

00:21:29.440 now. I wonder what, oh, that's right. A whistleblower from CSIS came forward and by golly,

00:21:36.000 Tamara, blackface is going to get to the bottom of this. Oh, not the Chinese interference in the

00:21:41.160 police stations, but who's the snitch? Who ratted me out? This is, this is incredible, but gender-based

00:21:49.380 analysis plus. I don't even know what that means. No. If there's anyone that ceases watching.

00:21:56.600 What does that mean? GBA plus. You know, by the way, when they were showing images of the passport,

00:22:08.320 don't mean to go back to it, but I don't know if that's a real person or not, but I noticed it said

00:22:12.800 sex and the initial F, presumably for female. I wonder if that's changed too, Tamara. Can I choose O for

00:22:22.340 other? You know, I don't know. We want to be inclusive and diverse after all, don't we?

00:22:27.220 But at what point does F mean fluid instead of female? Oh, bingo. You're, well, this is why we

00:22:33.440 pay you the big bucks, Tamara Ugolini. Gender, F for fluid. Yeah. That is not a female. Oh,

00:22:39.240 there's so many more ways you could go with that. That's something in between apparently.

00:22:41.940 So, um, yeah, uh, Tamara and I are stymied by gender-based analysis plus, um, protocols.

00:22:51.960 Please educate us, uh, especially if you know anyone at CSIS. Well, why don't we go to a video

00:22:57.440 of blackface himself? Oh, go ahead. Yeah. We have, we have, so we do have a video of blackface,

00:23:02.940 but we also have a former senior intelligence officer and manager at CSIS, um, who just,

00:23:10.500 just, I think earlier today, this was just cut. Um, he proposed jail time for foreign interference,

00:23:17.240 um, allegations because he's equating it to treason essentially. So here, let's have a look

00:23:23.800 at what he had to say. And, and this person again is former. Um, so maybe he, he was no longer

00:23:30.380 involved in CSIS because he doesn't agree with this gender-based analysis plus.

00:23:35.000 That's why I'm suggesting that we should cut the numbers of diplomats in place here in Canada.

00:23:41.820 There's no reason to have so many, uh, diplomats with a country that doesn't want to do business

00:23:46.540 with us. We have a trade deficit. Uh, we, we, we sold a company, uh, uh, uh, uh, Nexen in Alberta

00:23:54.140 for $15 billion. We're not even capable to buy a corner store in China. So this discrepancy

00:24:00.360 between the relationship doesn't sort of, uh, uh, generate or justified, I should say,

00:24:05.660 to have so many diplomats other than some people are favoring China for the wrong reason.

00:24:11.980 Now you'd mentioned in, in your opening comments, a series of points kind of, uh, to beef up our,

00:24:17.300 our legal framework. The first one, you talked about a mandatory process for candidates, for,

00:24:22.580 for staff, um, with, with a signed declaration, with the threat of, of criminal, um, criminal

00:24:28.540 proceedings. Um, what, you know, what sanctions would you propose in terms of the criminal,

00:24:33.860 uh, proceedings? What, uh, what, you know, how, how strong of, uh, of a same jail time?

00:24:39.520 Because we're close to treason here, literally. So I say jail time. Now the, the, the, the size

00:24:46.000 of the jail time, uh, would be, uh, uh, judged by, uh, jurisprudence and by, by our system,

00:24:52.280 but definitely jail time. No, no fine, no suspended sentences or anything of that nature.

00:24:59.540 Just telling it like it really is. Oh, absolutely. Tamara. What do you think about blackface? Do

00:25:04.580 you think he's a simpatico on jail time with all the interference? And let's face it. He knew about

00:25:10.680 this. I think years ago, he's only being proactive now because it's a matter of public record. We got

00:25:17.140 Chinese police stations, uh, in Canada, including not far from where I live at the, um, I'm not making

00:25:23.700 this up folks. The Toronto, Canada Fooking business association. I swear you can Google it. Yeah.

00:25:31.160 They're operating a cop shop out of there. Um, I wonder if the RCMP get that courtesy in Beijing.

00:25:37.260 Uh, what do you want to bet? The answer rhymes with hero on the, uh, percentage of that happening.

00:25:43.560 Um, but Tamara, this is an outrage and yeah, I think it does meet the benchmark of treason

00:25:52.260 because when you are having our democracy interfered with that way, and here's the big question. We

00:25:59.840 want to know what blackface knew and when did he know about it? Because then I know treason,

00:26:07.680 the big T word, it's a, it's a high benchmark to prove, but if he was complicit with this,

00:26:14.140 I think that falls into the bailiwick of treason too, Tamara.

00:26:18.700 The absolute absurd thing here is that treason is a very strong, real threat to our national security.

00:26:28.240 And instead of focusing on that very real valid threat, we are honoring gender-based analysis plus.

00:26:37.680 And so I wonder here if we made a complaint, not about treason, but about a gender-based,

00:26:49.340 I don't know, I guess it would be a gender-based discrimination or some equal right, unequal

00:26:53.820 rights for someone. Um, maybe if we complained that the Chinese police stations weren't doing

00:27:00.420 diversity hires, then we could really launch a real investigation here.

00:27:04.660 Yeah. You know, I wonder what the gender-based analysis plus software, um, what it recommended

00:27:12.240 regarding, oh, I don't know, firefighters out in Alberta trying to put out wildfires. The idea that

00:27:18.160 for virtue signaling purposes, let's have an all female crew and watch the problem get exasperated.

00:27:25.460 But, um, yeah, I, I want to get my hands on this gender-based analysis plus.

00:27:31.400 It's definitely worth a report.

00:27:33.320 You know, the amount of wokeism and political correctness and virtue signaling, Tamara,

00:27:39.160 even for something regarding our spy agency, which is ostensibly there to keep Canada safe and secure.

00:27:47.540 I mean, it's egregious. Leave this crap for the gender study students on campus, okay? I don't care

00:27:57.200 about gender analysis plus data. I want our, you know, cops, our spies to be well-equipped to stand up

00:28:07.220 to any bad actors in terms of foreign interference. But we know where blackface stands when it comes to

00:28:14.180 the, uh, dictatorship of China. He admires that dictatorship. He said so himself, uh, by the

00:28:21.600 way, he was ahead of the curve, I guess, with gender-based analysis plus, because he said that

00:28:25.900 10 years ago, uh, Tamara was at Sun News at the time. And he said it in Toronto to a female only

00:28:33.100 audience. Like, why are you doing this? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess it worked out for him the first,

00:28:43.480 the last three times he, uh, won the election. Thank you, Canadians. Um, we have a super chat

00:28:49.540 here. And Andrew Scheer. Um, yeah, thank you. No opposition. Yeah. Talk about snatching, uh,

00:28:56.300 defeat from the jaws of victory. Um, anyhow, what let's move on to more black. Well, we have one,

00:29:03.180 uh, we have one super chat here from ableist SL gives $5. Thank you. It sounds like CSIS is

00:29:09.100 undergoing woke subversion, like other federal agencies. Also, what are your thoughts on parents

00:29:15.420 fleeing the country with their children to stop them from wrongfully transitioning?

00:29:21.580 Oh, I, I, I can't think of a better reason, Tamara. Uh, save the children.

00:29:28.520 Well, no, sorry. Did I understand that remark to get them transitioned or to avoid getting

00:29:33.920 transition? No, to stop. Yeah. To stop them from wrongfully transitioning. Yeah. Well, you are a

00:29:40.000 mother. Uh, if you had a child who's a minor, uh, and somehow he's being indoctrinated at school

00:29:47.460 that she is a, he or vice versa, uh, what steps would you take? Yeah. Well, I mean, and this is

00:29:56.480 obviously just my personal opinion. First and foremost, you would pull them from whatever

00:29:59.840 institution is promoting this madness. Um, there was, there is a former Canadian, I can't remember

00:30:05.260 her name, but she, um, she, she does a lot of work on this file in the United States and, um,

00:30:11.920 her child was going through what was, you know, this gender confusion, because this is confusing

00:30:19.480 for children. When you start promoting these ideologies, which were traditionally reserved

00:30:23.320 for academics and adults with fully functioning frontal lobes and their rational brain was

00:30:29.640 developed. Um, now they are pushing these ideologies onto children. They're not really

00:30:35.140 debating them anymore. It's kind of just being accepted as though it's truth. In fact, whereas

00:30:39.880 previously it had been reserved for, you know, robust debate and is this ethical and the gender,

00:30:46.160 um, well, the critical race theory stuff was largely within the legal system, but the gender

00:30:51.680 ideology came about kind of in a similar fashion. And this particular mom who I I'll have to see if I

00:30:57.980 can pull it up quickly on, on Twitter, but she pulled her child completely out of the system.

00:31:04.160 Stop. They stopped going to this counselor, the school counselor who isn't trained to handle actual

00:31:09.180 psychological issues. By the way, they're just these, like, they're supposed to teach children

00:31:13.660 how to, um, get scholarships or what kind of school to apply to. But now they're kind of meddling in

00:31:19.520 this idea of gender ideology and identity, which are very complex psychological subjects. And anyway,

00:31:25.520 this mom pulled her child completely from the school system. The child was also suffering with

00:31:30.640 depression and eating disorders. And there was all these, these disabilities and comorbidities

00:31:35.740 starting to happen and mental health issues. And all of that completely resolved within, like,

00:31:41.500 I think it was about a month. It wasn't even very long that it took this child to kind of

00:31:45.780 recalibrate. And, uh, this mom has now become a fierce advocate against these ideologies and

00:31:51.420 creating the school system. Um, I think she's on one of the boards there and her child has not

00:31:56.720 returned to the system. I think that her other child continues in, but is not being affected by

00:32:01.200 any of this sort of radical, these radical ideals ideologues. Um, so yeah, I think that's obviously

00:32:07.720 a really harsh step that needs to be taken to really save a child from the destruction of

00:32:13.700 gender transitioning, whether it be social transition, medical, um, full-on body mutilation.

00:32:21.260 This is really scary concerning stuff that is unprecedented. We have never seen this before.

00:32:26.480 And I think that you have to make those, those harsh changes and choices to save your children from

00:32:32.380 a future that they will likely regret. As we see now, it's just coming out, uh, in this

00:32:39.360 de-transitioning phenomenon. You know what, uh, you said something, I think very profound, um, Tamara,

00:32:46.580 which is you talked about the child having eating disorders, suffering from depression.

00:32:53.300 And I think some of these young people, as well as in some cases, their parents think that

00:33:00.360 having a sex change is going to be a utopia for the person. And guess what? You do the transition

00:33:08.340 and you still have eating disorders. You still have depression. And that falls into your point about

00:33:14.900 the, I guess the de-transitioning, uh, movement. Uh, the point being, um, you know, with us being

00:33:22.860 champions of freedom, you can really live your life in whatever identity you want, but it always comes

00:33:29.160 down to age appropriateness for me, Tamara. And that is when you are too young to buy liquor

00:33:36.940 and cigarettes and marijuana and even lottery tickets. I don't think you're in the right frame

00:33:43.100 of mind, uh, to say, I'm going to change my sex because that's going to make all my problems go

00:33:49.200 away. So you know what I see we're past the halfway mark. So we got to go to an ad break and then we'll

00:33:55.280 pick it up with, um, Justin Trudeau wading into the abortion debate. Oh, golly. I wonder what

00:34:01.520 position blackface is going to take on this topic.

00:34:09.920 Somebody who's the salt of the earth, your teacher, your friend.

00:34:15.540 Mothers look after their children and they fight for their rights. Even if it doesn't affect them,

00:34:21.820 you're, we're fighting for our kids' rights. Lioness. Don't mess with them.

00:34:28.880 My mother means almost everything to me. She's 91. She's been there for me all my life. She's

00:34:35.000 implanted Christian values. She's never changed and she's a rock in our life.

00:34:40.100 My favorite person in the world. Everything she did for us was because she loved us so dearly,

00:34:47.240 never gave up on us. She's my mother so much. My mother has passed away, but she has, uh, been a guiding

00:34:56.680 light in my life still. I talk with her. I, I feel that she's impacted a lot of truth and faith and, um,

00:35:06.300 she always taught me to, um, remember that I'm a child of the king. Anything that she could do to help or

00:35:13.360 support, she did it. And she's gone now, but I will love her forever. Despite whatever we get in her way,

00:35:21.360 she'll be there for you.

00:35:26.360 A mother is unconditional love.

00:35:30.360 And this is my mom.

00:35:32.360 And I love her to death.

00:35:34.360 Thank you. Thank you.

00:35:35.360 And this is my mother. So if you agree with us that mothers deserve to be celebrated this Mother's

00:35:55.640 Uh, yes. Mother's Day or as the Toronto district school board would say that special time of year

00:36:11.800 in May about somebody, uh, you know what, Tamara, we're going to move on from, uh, what we teased

00:36:17.400 before the break, uh, blackface, uh, putting out his, uh, pro choice tweet because super producer

00:36:23.440 Olivia just informed me that this is actually from two weeks ago. He tweeted it yesterday.

00:36:28.720 Gee, why would he tweet it on Wednesday, May 10th? You don't think it had anything to do with the,

00:36:34.720 um, uh, March for life on Parliament Hill, do you? Uh, yeah. Blackface has to get the last word in

00:36:42.880 there. He has to be like the proverbial skunk to the garden party. So, um, it's old news folks.

00:36:49.360 Let's move on. I can't stomach any more blackface right now anyways, but you know who I've always

00:36:54.240 got time for. It's Donald Trump. And wow, Tamara, did you watch that town hall yesterday? It was

00:37:04.800 fascinating. Um, sure didn't go, uh, the CNN narrative way, but they don't care right now.

00:37:10.640 Their ratings are so far into the dumpster. Uh, I guarantee you without even checking the numbers,

00:37:16.880 this is their highest rated show of the year. I would argue maybe even in three or four years.

00:37:22.880 And did Trump ever take, uh, that woman, uh, Collins, uh, to school? It was, I was feeling

00:37:31.600 embarrassed for her. It was like when, um, Elon Musk, uh, went up against that, uh, jabroni journalist

00:37:37.840 from the BBC and he took him behind the woodshed for making accusations for which he had no proof or facts

00:37:45.680 to support. So why don't we call out, uh, well, um, one of the lines, it pertains to Canada in a way

00:37:53.120 because we are, uh, an energy, a resource rich country. If only blackface would unlock the shackles,

00:38:01.280 but, um, Trump calling out the stupid fools. That's a direct quote who are destroying America's

00:38:08.640 energy sector. Check it out. Go back to the audience. We've got Danielle Rieger. She works

00:38:13.600 as an oral surgery assistant. She's a Republican activist from dairy. She was a New Hampshire

00:38:18.160 delegate for you in 2020. What's your question? Hi, thank you so much for coming to New Hampshire

00:38:23.600 to answer our questions. My question is regarding the economy over the past two years, we have seen

00:38:30.240 the prices for everything skyrocket from food to gas, to utilities and insurance costs. Many people's

00:38:37.280 bills are up several hundred dollars a month, including mine. If elected president again,

00:38:42.880 what is the first thing you would do to help bring down the cost to make things more affordable?

00:38:47.600 Something voters actually care about. Drill, baby, drill.

00:38:49.840 Whoo!

00:38:51.280 I agree with that.

00:38:56.720 Good answer. We were energy independent. We were soon going to be energy dominant and nobody had ever

00:39:04.240 done what I did. We got oil down to $1.87. Actually, it fell lower than that in some cases.

00:39:09.600 We had to save the oil companies that the price was getting. So we were doing incredibly. We had

00:39:14.320 the greatest economy in the history of our country, probably the greatest economy in the history of

00:39:17.920 the world. We're energy independent, soon to be energy dominant. We were going to be bigger than

00:39:22.800 Russia and Saudi Arabia put together times two. We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other

00:39:29.680 nation, any other nation. And these stupid fools ended it. And energy went from $1.87 and even lower

00:39:38.640 for gasoline, for car. They went from $1.87 to five, six, seven, eight and even nine dollars.

00:39:45.200 And your electricity bills went through the roof. Your heating bills went through the roof.

00:39:49.440 And that's what started inflation. And it hasn't stopped because people are paying now for bacon and

00:39:55.920 for eggs and for two and three times what it was just a little while ago. We created the greatest

00:40:01.440 economy in history. A big part of that economy was I got you the biggest tax cuts in the history

00:40:07.120 of our country, bigger than the Reagan cuts, bigger than anything. And also, you know, Tamara, he's so

00:40:16.080 right. If only his haters would listen to what Donald Trump has to say and objectively look at his record.

00:40:24.160 During the Donald Trump presidency, we saw inflation and interest rates at generational lows. Energy

00:40:31.040 independence for the first time in more than 70 years, thanks to the miracle that is fracking.

00:40:37.840 We saw unemployment levels at record lows, including unemployment levels for such categories as women

00:40:44.320 and visible minorities such as blacks, Asians and Hispanics. And the exclamation mark, I think,

00:40:52.880 on the Trump administration is this, Tamara. The world was a lot safer place. We had peace erupting in

00:41:03.600 the Middle East with the Abraham Accords. We didn't have any talk about Putin invading Ukraine. We didn't

00:41:10.160 see China flexing its military muscles. And now look at the world we're in. And Donald Trump was the

00:41:18.400 opposite of a hawkish president. He was not getting involved in wars. He took out some vile, evil terrorists,

00:41:27.840 which, of course, the left criticized them for calling terrorists like Soleimani scholars, if you can

00:41:35.680 imagine. But all those reasons I gave you, these are irrefutable facts. And I thought that was a brilliant

00:41:44.000 performance. I bet CNN is happy because finally, for one day this year, they were relevant. What are your

00:41:51.520 thoughts? Yeah, I think you really covered all of the topics and the key points here that are to say

00:41:59.360 about Donald Trump. And I think that the general public has really started to see the tangible ripple

00:42:08.400 effect and the ways that someone like that, their presidency changed their life versus now at the

00:42:17.840 way people like the dementia fatigued President Joe Biden is instituting and treating the economy of the

00:42:29.440 United States, which is basically just putting it into the negative. And that has a direct effect on us

00:42:34.480 here in Canada. And so while we have seen the reign of terror of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the

00:42:39.600 last eight years and counting, the policies instituted in the United States directly reflected

00:42:46.960 and affected also how we approached energy in the sector and our costs. So I would love to see

00:42:54.400 nothing more than someone more fiscally responsible, just like Donald Trump had been and will commit to

00:43:01.040 being should he be elected again, because the way things are going is, you know, the government always

00:43:06.880 talks about sustainability, and they mean, I guess, in terms of protecting the earth and the environment. But I

00:43:12.960 want to see some sustainability in terms of the economy, and people's individual ability to be gainful in the

00:43:20.880 economy, and to simply make ends meet. I mean, I don't think that that is asking a lot to just be able to

00:43:27.200 survive, and keep your head above water, because the way things are going now, it is absolutely

00:43:33.040 decimating the middle class that anyone who makes minimum wage, I honestly don't know how anyone that

00:43:40.800 makes minimum wage survives, especially if you have children, something has to give soon. And I hope it

00:43:47.200 would be a change up in the leadership of either nation. But Donald Trump certainly has, you know, that

00:43:54.000 business minded. He has that business mind that to go back to and to base his policies off of,

00:44:01.360 which seems to work really well for the past few years until Biden ruined it all.

00:44:06.960 A hundred percent. And I would argue, Tamara, that next year's election in the US might be one of the

00:44:13.600 most important elections in US history. You would think that so often it boils down to it's the economy

00:44:20.960 stupid. Americans are hurting from coast to coast to coast. And I think that should be

00:44:28.640 Biden's downfall. Well, to tell you the truth, I can't see him running for reelection.

00:44:35.280 You know, the next election is an eternity away in political terms. But I just don't see it happening,

00:44:43.440 given his current performance and his abysmal popularity ratings.

00:44:47.920 They're about as low as CNN's ratings. And getting back to CNN, let's catch Donald Trump

00:44:55.600 schooling Caitlin Collins, who was the moderator, who was it was just appalling. It was one loaded

00:45:04.240 question after another. And when she wasn't satisfied with the answer, she would pester Trump. But

00:45:10.960 Trump didn't bend the knee. Check out this clip, folks.

00:45:13.280 Speaking of New York, I want to ask about a significant verdict that was reached yesterday.

00:45:19.200 I know this is something you want to weigh in on as well. Manhattan jury found that you sexually

00:45:23.520 abused the writer E. Jean Carroll and defamed her. You've denied this. But what do you say to voters

00:45:28.320 who say it disqualifies you from being president? Well, there aren't too many of them because my poll

00:45:32.080 numbers just came out. They went up. I think I'm the only person in history who had a charge like

00:45:41.760 that. And usually you leave office. You say, I'm sorry, but I'm going to back home. I'm back home to

00:45:46.640 my family and everything. I'm going to be resigned. My poll numbers went up. And they went up with the

00:45:50.400 other fake charge, too. Because what's happening is they're doing this for election interference.

00:45:55.840 This woman, I don't know her. I never met her. I have no idea who she is. I had a picture taken

00:46:01.520 years ago with her and her husband, nice guy, John Johnson. He was a newscaster, a very nice man.

00:46:07.040 She called him an ape, happens to be African-American, called him an ape. The judge wouldn't allow us to

00:46:12.080 put that in. Her dog or her cat was named Vagina. The judge wouldn't allow it to put that in. All of

00:46:19.600 these things. But with her, they can put in anything. Access Hollywood. This is a jury of

00:46:23.920 nine people who found you liable of sexual abuse. Do you think that that will deter women from voting

00:46:30.320 for you? No, I don't think so. You know, Tamara, it's so funny, I think, in a perverse way,

00:46:38.160 how the Me Too movement narrative goes on and off depending on what political stripe you bear.

00:46:46.320 She's on about these allegations with President Trump. You can't take his explanation as a valid

00:46:53.680 answer. And yet, who mourns for Tara Reade? Why did she never get her day in court regarding her

00:47:01.840 sexual assault allegations regarding Joe Biden? Oh, I get it. Yeah, one's a Republican and one's a

00:47:10.480 Democrat. So Me Too, like I said, it seems to have an on-off switch in America when it comes

00:47:17.200 to the mainstream media, don't you think? Well, the Me Too movement and also the My Body,

00:47:21.920 My Choice movement, this is more hypocrisy of the left and these individuals who just kind of

00:47:30.240 fall in line to support the current thing instead of actually being based on, you know,

00:47:36.000 principled moral stances. They're just going with whatever the flavor of the day is. But I love that

00:47:42.480 that Trump always makes it known that there's more to the story here, that everything that you're,

00:47:48.240 you know, the whole story hasn't been put out in the public and there are things that the judges

00:47:51.600 wouldn't accept and there are anomalies, there are nuance. And you don't hear about that in

00:47:58.080 these news reports and the mainstream media chooses to ignore some of those nuance, which are very,

00:48:03.680 they very much contextualize the entire situation. And so by leaving out those little bits of nuance,

00:48:11.360 then you miss the bigger picture of what's really going on. And so whenever you hear him speak,

00:48:16.240 you can see that he points that out. And then if you're a critically thinking citizen, you can say,

00:48:22.080 hey, wait a minute, what does he mean by that? I'm going to look further or maybe not. But that's

00:48:28.160 something that I always kind of pick out from the way he responds to things is that there's a lot of

00:48:32.960 nuance that doesn't make its way into the mainstream. And that's really concerning when you're trusting

00:48:38.560 at least maybe hopefully less of the population at this point. But when you used to trust that the

00:48:46.560 media would give you the full picture and the full story and kind of put the information out there and

00:48:52.320 let you form your own opinions instead of just being a parrot for the opinion that you're supposed to have.

00:48:56.000 And Collins was a parrot for all the mainstream media talking points. And I think we don't have a clip of

00:49:02.080 this, but I urge our viewers to source it. It was regarding the Russia Ukraine war. And it was

00:49:09.360 Collins incessantly trying to get Donald Trump to pick a side. Whose side are you on Russia or Ukraine?

00:49:16.400 And the president answered it beautifully. He said, had I been in office at this time, this war would not

00:49:23.440 have happened. I have a good relationship with Zelensky and Putin, and this would never have occurred.

00:49:31.680 There are thousands dead on each side. And this war wouldn't happen. Oh, no, no. But even so,

00:49:38.560 whose side are you on? Is it Ukraine? Is it Russia? I mean, I don't know. Is she auditioning for

00:49:45.600 the next time there's a spot opening on The View, or as I call it, Wada View? Is that what's going on

00:49:53.200 here, Tamara? Yeah, it could very well be. I see that we still have one topic to get to, and there's a

00:49:59.360 super chat. But before we do that, we're going to move on to leader of the opposition in Canada,

00:50:03.760 Pierre Polyev next. But we want to share with you a fun initiative that has been launched by

00:50:09.840 the Democracy Funds. We have a quick ad to share, and then we'll come back for our last segment before

00:50:15.360 we tune out until tomorrow. Today, many journalists are really just advocates for woke ideology.

00:50:22.720 They don't report the facts, and they simply don't care about our fundamental freedoms.

00:50:27.840 Well, we're doing something about that. What happens when the journalists themselves are really well

00:50:33.840 made for by the government? Can we toxicly criticize the government freely? The law, the rule

00:50:40.240 makes society, is the need for infabitiveness.

00:50:44.960 We help push back the government all the time. I think that that is the key, is to push back and

00:51:02.560 hold them up in the box. Everyone kind of wants to be a YouTuber or a media star these days or whatever,

00:51:08.640 and people always ask me, you know, well, how do you do it? What do you do? What's the secret? All that

00:51:12.720 stuff. No matter what type of journalism you're doing, whether you're doing the advocacy journalism

00:51:17.680 that Robby does, whether you're doing the investigative reporting that Sheila does,

00:51:22.000 some of the guanso journalism that David Menzies does, or whether you're working in fiction like CBC,

00:51:27.360 no matter what, you are telling a story.

00:51:34.320 It's very informative. I learned a lot of stuff. I took so many notes, but it's definitely,

00:51:39.200 it's definitely good to be here. I'm really appreciating the diversity of the speakers. They all

00:51:43.920 contribute really specific details on what to do as an aspiring journalist. It's been absolutely

00:51:49.680 mind-blowing from start to finish. Firstly, beautiful hall. We've been stuffed. It's like

00:51:56.160 Thanksgiving dinner every night, so that's amazing. But the only thing that beats that are the people,

00:52:01.600 the people around us, the company, some amazing and unique individuals. The journalism conference has been

00:52:06.800 great. I met many prominent figures in this field and I got great advice. It was a really good conference,

00:52:13.360 very good to meet all the lovely people here to get some inspiration and some experience. Our speakers,

00:52:21.440 oh my gosh, they've been absolutely stupendous. I've been learning so much.

00:52:26.160 Thank you so much. I'm so grateful to have been invited to come. Thank you.

00:52:40.480 Well, you know, Tamara, let me tell you, I was at that conference last summer and I want to say that,

00:52:45.120 you know, we often poke fun at the kids on campus, you know, with their safe spaces and their gender

00:52:52.160 pronoun protocols and what have you. But let me tell you something. Those kids I met last summer,

00:52:57.760 they were fantastic. They restored my faith in the youth of Canada. And on the flip side,

00:53:06.400 let me tell you something. When I was going to Ryerson Journalism School or whatever they call

00:53:10.640 Ryerson now, if there was a conference like this, when I was going through the journalism program,

00:53:17.680 I would have given my right arm to be part of that. And also the potential of getting on as a job,

00:53:25.520 getting a job out of this conference. So to me, that was the absolute epitome of win-win.

00:53:33.280 Yeah. And we have posted a link in the chat. So if you're looking for more information on the

00:53:38.720 conference itself, you can go there, but it is running from August 11th to 13th this year.

00:53:44.400 It's being hosted in Toronto at the Novotel Hotel. And for applicants and people who,

00:53:57.040 what's the word I'm looking for here, but the people who would be chosen to attend the conference,

00:54:01.600 it's at no cost to you. So for this weekend, all expenses paid, you get to hear from, you know,

00:54:08.800 key names in the realm of independent media, including Ezra Levant, Sheila Gunn-Reed, Andrew

00:54:14.160 Lawton. You can check out the whole lineup for yourself there, and I'm sure more to come.

00:54:18.960 But the theme this year is fighting censorship. And so as we see the Trudeau Liberals push through and

00:54:25.440 ram through these sweeping censorship, like pieces of legislation, the regulation of internet and content

00:54:34.240 generation, I think that this is a key area that's going to be of the utmost importance moving forward

00:54:40.480 for independent media. And I mean, you even have the CBC saying, expressing concerns over this

00:54:46.320 legislation and these ambiguously awarded powers to the Canadian Radio and Television Broadcasting

00:54:52.720 Corporation. So I think the theme is spot on. And I would urge people who are interested,

00:54:59.600 so you have to be between the ages of 18 to 30. Otherwise, you have to speak English and otherwise

00:55:06.080 be interested in journalism and have a knack for some critical thinking and an ability to

00:55:12.880 conduct research. So if you're wondering and you think that you might be a good fit here,

00:55:18.000 then head on over to that link and apply. And who knows, maybe you'll see David again and maybe even

00:55:24.320 myself. Yeah. And by the way, Tamara, one housekeeping note, given what you just said,

00:55:29.440 you mentioned the Novotel Hotel. Make sure all you out of towners, you pick the right Novotel Hotel.

00:55:35.680 One of the Novotel Hotels in Hogtown, well, that's housing the city's homeless. We're not at that one.

00:55:44.080 It's the other one, okay? Just in case any kind of mix up occurs.

00:55:49.040 I think if you apply and you're approved that you will have all the details, the correct details forwarded

00:55:54.080 your way. You don't want to end up at the safe injection site.

00:55:57.600 Yeah. All I'm saying, Tamara, is just make sure your cab driver or your Uber driver knows exactly

00:56:03.200 where to bring you once you get off that plane. Now, you mentioned Pierre Polyev once again rocking

00:56:11.040 it in the House of Commons. And I think this is on carbon taxes, if I remember correctly.

00:56:18.000 Another one, which is due, I think, in July. Yeah. Happy birthday, Canada, from Blackface.

00:56:24.240 Another jump at the pumps and at other places. So let's hear what Mr. Polyev had to say.

00:56:30.240 Doesn't he park his plane, cancel the hypocrisy, and axe the tax?

00:56:35.200 The Right Honourable Prime Minister. Mr. Trudeau. Mr. Speaker.

00:56:42.000 Oh my goodness.

00:56:42.880 I don't think I have to remind the members not to use proper names.

00:56:59.680 Wow, that was embarrassing. It was almost as embarrassing once upon a time, Tamara, when

00:57:07.040 Justin called Pierre Fidel for some reason. I can't imagine why. What's your take on that?

00:57:15.040 I mean, first and foremost, like, what an idiot, honestly. Do you forget who you are in the House

00:57:23.600 of Commons and what you're doing? I mean, this just epitomizes the leadership we have in Canada,

00:57:29.840 when our own leader doesn't even know that he's the person speaking, he's not addressing himself.

00:57:36.720 But although I guess that's an odd piece of, oh, again, what's the word that I'm looking for?

00:57:45.600 Irony, perhaps, maybe not quite irony, but where he's addressing the speaker as himself.

00:57:50.960 And so maybe you could read between the lines on that one. But I would have loved to hear an actual

00:57:56.000 answer, although I doubt that that would actually happen in the House of Commons with the liberals.

00:58:00.800 They just politispeak and talk around any sort of issue. There's never a direct yes or no,

00:58:06.480 or a direct answer or any way to garner any sort of accountability in the House of Commons. It's

00:58:11.840 really a sad laughingstock of Canadian political theater.

00:58:16.720 But you know, Tamara, as speaker, you're supposed to be as nonpartisan as you possibly can.

00:58:22.560 Supposed, yeah. Supposed to be.

00:58:24.160 This current speaker is a disgrace. He should step down. Last week, I'm sure you recall,

00:58:31.680 he cut Mr. Polyev's mic when he was asking too many insensitive questions. I don't ever remember

00:58:39.360 that. The leader of the official opposition being cut off like that. And I even heard Dan McTague,

00:58:46.560 himself a liberal MP of 18 years, Tamara, condemning this speaker and demanding that he step down from

00:58:54.720 that role. And that's a liberal saying that. So I can see why Blackface got confused that he is the

00:59:02.240 speaker because the speaker seems to be his little lapdog these days.

00:59:06.160 Mm hmm. Exactly. And that's exactly what I was alluding to. But, you know,

00:59:10.560 Polyev is resounding really what Trump said in that previous clip where, you know, park the tax,

00:59:17.120 park your private jet, get the Canadian economy, the oil and gas sector, which we have a breadth

00:59:23.680 of natural resources at our disposal, get us energy independent, bring those costs down.

00:59:29.680 What are you doing? And he's just so confused in the House that he doesn't even know who he is or

00:59:34.080 who he's addressing. So that's really sad and really highlights the state, again, of our political

00:59:40.480 theatre here in Canada. And Tamara, as I've always said, there is a way out with dignity

00:59:46.160 regarding the carbon taxes for the Trudeau Liberals. And it's simply this. Look, we strongly believe

00:59:52.960 that manmade climate change is a thing. We strongly believe it's up to us to try to do whatever we can

00:59:58.640 to save the planet. However, at this time, when Canadians are out of work, dealing with inflation,

01:00:06.160 inflation can't handle the mortgage payments. This is not the time for a carbon tax. This is not

01:00:13.600 the time for an increase in the carbon tax. This is not the time for an additional carbon tax to kick

01:00:19.680 in in July. But when things return to a resemblance of normal, then we can talk about the Greta Thunberg

01:00:28.400 agenda. Why can't they say that, Tamara? I think that's a win-win for them.

01:00:33.200 A hundred percent. And also, where is that tax money going that it's actually

01:00:39.360 cooling the earth? If that's the issue, right? If the earth is overheating and we need to

01:00:44.320 cool it. I'm not sure how a tax brings any of that down. And these liberals can't seem to attest to

01:00:54.000 how effective a tax is at cooling the earth. So does the carbon tax even make sense? Where's

01:01:01.920 that money going? And what is the tangible evidence that throwing money at the earth's

01:01:08.080 warming is going to cool it? It just doesn't make any sense.

01:01:11.600 Well, Tamara, I can tell you exactly where it's going. Because it was ever thus for decades and

01:01:16.240 decades, with all the taxes on a liter of gasoline, and once upon a day, a time, rather, a gallon of

01:01:23.520 gasoline, I think we're up to a point where more than one-third of the cost is various taxes.

01:01:29.760 And those taxes were always earmarked for maintaining roads and the creation of new roads and highways.

01:01:40.000 But guess what happened en route to the Treasury, Tamara Ugolini, regarding all those gasoline taxes?

01:01:46.400 Yeah, they went into that great abyss known as general revenues. So all the money you and I and

01:01:54.800 all our viewers as motorists pay in gasoline taxes, it never went to where it was supposed to go.

01:02:02.960 And I would bet you it's the same deal with these carbon taxes. It's just going into general revenues,

01:02:09.520 in which case they're just going to spend it on some new wackadoodle project like, I don't know,

01:02:16.240 foreign or global affairs conducting sex with senior seminars. I'm not making that up. Check

01:02:24.640 out Franco Teresano's recent piece on that one. So yeah, I'm very skeptical that even these blackface

01:02:33.200 liberals believe their own narrative that this money is needed to save the planet. I bet you that money

01:02:38.960 is just going into that bottomless pit called general revenues.

01:02:43.360 Yeah, well, it goes into also ensuring that they have their yearly salary increases and further

01:02:48.640 bloating of the bureaucracy that's grown. I don't even know what percent under Justin Trudeau,

01:02:52.640 but it is astronomical. And Franco Teresano from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation has work on that file.

01:02:59.200 So we're five minutes over here. We have one super chat that I can see left. I'm not sure if there are

01:03:04.320 any more. It's from our capital locks loving Fraser McBurney. He gives $5. Thank you, Fraser. There

01:03:10.800 was a time that Canadians... Oh, so this is related back to the passports. There was a time that Canadians

01:03:16.400 crossed the US border by saying, I'm Canadian. As a Canadian, I crossed back into Canada. I have

01:03:22.240 nothing to declare. Gone are the days of freedom. Yeah, but I can tell you on that note, Fraser,

01:03:28.640 as of midnight tonight, the vax restrictions are officially gone. So you can indeed drive across

01:03:37.200 the peace bridge into New York state and the border guards are not going to ask you for your private

01:03:43.760 medical information. And if you don't fit the bill, they're not going to turn you back. So we'll take our

01:03:49.840 little victories wherever we can get them. Eh, Tamara? Well, I think that Fraser was saying that

01:03:55.520 back in his time, when he was younger, that you didn't have to show anything, not even a passport.

01:04:01.280 You could just say, I'm Canadian and I want to come over to the United States. And no one asked any

01:04:05.040 other questions. A hundred percent. I remember those days. I remember first going over that peace bridge

01:04:11.840 to see the Toronto Maple Leafs play in the arena of pain, which I call whatever they call the Buffalo

01:04:20.960 Sabres arena. The Leafs always lose and lose badly there. But yeah, we were high school students when

01:04:28.960 we first went over. I don't even think I showed my driver's license, but we do live in a post 9-11 era,

01:04:35.520 Tamara. So those days are gone. And believe me, they're not coming back. In fact, as you

01:04:41.360 referred to at the beginning of the show, maybe enhanced digital monitoring of our whereabouts

01:04:49.440 with the kind of governments that we have in power right now. So yeah, those were the good old days.

01:04:55.440 Anyhow, well, Tamara, thank you so much once again for co-hosting. I'm so glad you were able to

01:05:04.960 not endure the horror of the 401 in mid-day. I hate the traffic. My goodness, it's terrible.

01:05:11.600 I actually applauded the lockdowns in a sense. I mean, they were awful and decimating and never again

01:05:16.640 would I ever, I mean, comply, let alone cheerlead that on. I think it was terrible. But the lack of

01:05:23.760 traffic, just the complete ghost town that the roads were at that time, it made traveling anywhere a

01:05:30.800 breeze if you could stop, if you could get in to a place, if anywhere was even open. So I always kind of

01:05:37.840 channel back what it was like two years ago when the highways were just a breeze and there was no

01:05:42.880 traffic, no congestion. That was, I think, probably the only upside of the lockdown.

01:05:48.400 Oh, I'll never forget those days, Tamara. And to dial it back to our original discussion,

01:05:54.080 this being National Twilight Zone Day, those days reminded me of the Twilight Zone episode,

01:06:00.080 where have all the people gone? I mean, I couldn't believe it. The Don Valley Parkway at rush hour was

01:06:07.440 moving at over the limit, like the identification process crossing the border. Those days are gone

01:06:14.960 too, and they're not coming back. But given the misery so many people endured over the pandemic,

01:06:21.440 the fact that the highways were moving, it wasn't a worthwhile trade off, I would argue so. But yeah,

01:06:28.080 thank you for reminding me of that. So, and thank again for jumping in. Thank you, of course,

01:06:33.200 to super producers, Olivia and Ephraim behind the boards. Thank you to all our viewers, especially

01:06:38.640 those of you who made a financial donation. We really appreciate that. Tomorrow, it'll be,

01:06:44.960 no, I'm not here. It's Sheila and Mr. Seuss, I believe. He's back on duty. It's an all Alberta

01:06:52.560 report. Yeah, Efren kind of put me out to pasture on Fridays for some reason. That's okay. I don't

01:06:58.000 hold a grudge. But anyways, Sheila and company always bring it. In the meantime, folks, as always,

01:07:05.040 stay safe and stay sane.
