On today's show, David Menzies and Tamara Ugolini talk about National Sorry Charlie Day, a day where we're supposed to reflect on all the times we've been rejected, whether it's a sweetheart, a bank, or a prospective employer.
00:09:18.000I bet this guy is a graduate of gender studies because that seems like the playbook from start to finish what he was saying.
00:09:26.000But this hyper masculinity, is that the new word for toxic masculinity?
00:09:32.000And, you know, people like him are around today because there was a lot of toxic masculinity in conflicts like, oh, I don't know, the First World War, the Second World War.
00:09:43.000Otherwise, if we didn't have all that toxic masculinity, we're probably living under the flag of not the transgender community, but the swastika and speaking German.
00:09:55.000But and then he talks about blueness and pinkness.
00:10:08.000But when he talks about fight ending hyper femininity, you know, we have another clip and I'd love to run it, too.
00:10:18.000It's Tulsi Gabbard in the United States, and she tweeted out a bit of her speech where she said there is no greater expression of hatred and hostility towards women than to erase our existence as a category of people.
00:10:42.000Well done, Miss Gabbard, you know, this is what's going on.
00:10:52.000You have biological male competing in female sports.
00:10:56.000You have biological males doing time in female penitentiaries.
00:11:02.000By the way, not the other way around, Tamara, because if you, God forbid, were a convict and you say, I'm a man, I want to be in the male penitentiary.
00:11:11.000The guards don't want to be on triple duty every day protecting you from getting gang raped.
00:11:17.000So that's why it doesn't work the other way.
00:11:22.000This mumbo jumbo that this librarian is saying who's part of a school board.
00:11:27.000No wonder kids right now, they're not being educated, Tamara.
00:11:32.000They're being indoctrinated when they have to listen to garbage like this.
00:11:37.000Not just is this a part of the school board, but this is literally the department head, the library department head.
00:11:45.000This is the person in charge of choosing the materials that are currently available to children in their school libraries.
00:11:53.000And this is the thing that parents currently are expressing concern over are what are being called supplementary materials.
00:12:01.000And so it's all under the guise of inclusivity and tolerance and the transgender nonsense that's really coming in and permeating our schools and affecting our very young children.
00:12:14.000And I mean, I would like to ask this person, Shane Stagg, what fighting strict binaries looks like.
00:12:21.000Because to me, and as someone who speaks to these concerned parents, it's that we should be radicalizing children with the idea that gender is a social construct.
00:12:34.000They can just be whoever they want to be willy nilly.
00:12:37.000They can identify as a hawk if they so pleased one day and then be the other gender the next.
00:12:42.000But fighting strict binaries, as I have seen thus far in these people's minds, is sexualizing young children and forcing them into a box to label themselves as something that they should have no knowledge or concept of.
00:13:01.000These ideologies should be reserved for adults to debate robustly.
00:13:08.000They should not be questioning and permeating the young, impressionable minds of children.
00:13:14.000The science is still very clear that there are two genders, that they have physical, mental, emotional attributes.
00:13:24.000And the individuals who are willy nilly going in this other direction are a very small, small fringe minority, fraction of society.
00:13:34.000That's not to say that we need to disrespect adults or be rude and condemning to people who are struggling with mental illness and issues with gender dysphoria and seeking out, you know, trying to identify who they are as a person.
00:13:51.000Let's leave the kids alone, leave your ideologies, your politics at the door, and let's teach these kids and get them caught up in school because, yes, their ABCs and 123s are lagging in comparison to other developed nations.
00:14:09.000But regardless, our government doesn't seem to care about that.
00:14:15.000They want to continue virtue signaling, flying the flag to the Wokies.
00:14:19.000And we can see that we have another video to share with you, which comes from Ontario NDP MPP, Kristen Wong Tam, who's also a Toronto councillor, where she presents a drag queen to speak on this new proposed legislation that will happen perhaps in Ontario.
00:14:39.220We're not sure yet, which will ban protests within 100 metres of any drag queen event under the threat of a $25,000 fine.
00:14:49.120So we see this craziness happening also in Alberta, but it's now coming over to Ontario.
00:17:24.320I think that is the end goal, you know, to be quite frank.
00:17:27.980We see with Bill C-11, we're on pins and needles seeing who's going to get yanked and disciplined and fined.
00:17:35.020And I guess when it comes to off the Internet platform in the public square, I guess there's going to be certain people that you can't or certain ideologies that you can't protest either.
00:17:48.040I don't even recognize this country sometimes, Tamara.
00:17:52.540And well, we saw that precursor throughout the COVID narrative, right, where you're right to assemble, you're right to protest, you're right to condemn government action and speak out against the harms that their policies are causing onto yourself.
00:18:04.360And the general public, all of that was was completely quashed and squashed and trampled on by our government and by the police.
00:18:12.640And so now we see this translating to put a play on words over into this trans ideology.
00:18:21.300And, you know, the thing about this drag queen in particular started off his her speech with brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers.
00:18:29.860So, I mean, there's a trans person, to not misgender them, using those strict binaries that we must fight as per the head of the library department at the Durham District School Board.
00:18:45.120And I only just wish there was some other way that we could model tolerance and inclusion and respect to children without putting them in front of a grotesquely dressed caricature of a woman to read them stories.
00:19:02.080You know, like, is there not another way?
00:19:23.400But coming into schools, coming into libraries two nights ago at Scotiabank Arena, they had a drag queen show and there were children at that Leafs game.
00:19:39.060This is what I am quite concerned about.
00:19:42.820And you mentioned, you know, the kind of materials that are in the school board libraries.
00:19:47.340I can't remember the title, but there's at least one book and the story.
00:20:55.320If the Ford government champions this and votes in favor, what a disgrace.
00:21:01.300Once again, this government has let us down if that's going to be the case.
00:21:06.580Once again, Doug Ford is proving that contrary to popular belief, he is not Rob Ford, the late great mayor of Toronto.
00:21:16.520Yeah. And that's the thing that the parents are denouncing and protesting about when they're talking about the the trans issues, infiltrating the schools.
00:21:26.960I mean, this is overt perversion coming into our schools for very, very young, impressionable children.
00:21:33.740You know, I'm not even talking about high schoolers who have a more developed brain and are able to rationalize and think logically about topics from a more critical perspective.
00:21:44.460I'm talking about elementary school aged children.
00:21:47.040And this is never this is not an attack on trans rights.
00:21:50.720This is parents being concerned about the content and the appropriateness of the material that their children are being exposed to behind their backs.
00:21:58.700Really, this is unbeknownst to parents.
00:22:00.720This is being done in the closed door of the classrooms.
00:22:03.160Good luck as a parent even trying to get into a classroom these days to see what they're being exposed to.
00:22:08.280You can't even go into your library without a predetermined appointment.
00:22:12.100So this these are parents who are paying for publicly funded programs, publicly funded institutions with our taxpayer dollars who are expressing concern over the things their children are being exposed to at school.
00:22:23.540I think this is valid and it should be discussed.
00:22:26.180We don't need to attack these individuals and we're seeing that they are being attacked right just recently at the on Ottawa Carlton District School Board, which is arguably kind of that fourth one on the list that you talked about earlier about the school boards who are the most radically woke.
00:22:40.760Yeah, police did nothing when a vice principal was there snatching phones out of people.
00:22:49.020There were violent aggressors who are wearing masks to hide their identity intentionally.
00:22:54.160And police, yeah, here we have some footage here.
00:22:57.420And oh, they think this was just this past Tuesday.
00:23:00.120You have this parent, I believe, I think that's probably her child in front of her there, straight up bullying someone because they don't agree with the sexualized content being made available in the library.
00:23:13.980These people all think they're protesting for trans rights and that the bigots on the other side are transphobes when that is not why they're there at all.
00:23:22.840These individuals with their colorful bright hair are being misled.
00:23:28.020They won't hear the other side and instead they're bullying them, calling them names as though this is some sort of, you know, playground bully dynamic in front of their children.
00:23:39.080These are the aggressors, as we saw also with Billboard Chris last weekend in Vancouver.
00:23:45.400It's the other side that's being aggressive while they scream love is louder than hate and trans rights are human rights.
00:23:54.560But that's not what the people who are condemning this content and this push are saying that they're about.
00:24:01.140So the whole thing, I think, is just a really unfortunate misunderstanding that continues to escalate.
00:24:07.220But now you even have pastors and we have this other clip to show you next.
00:24:13.440A pastor in the United States compares the plight of the trans community to Jesus and the Holocaust after that Nashville trans shooting.
00:24:24.840So some of our viewers may remember, I think it was you and I, David, that discussed this two weeks ago, maybe it was last week, where the Nashville shooter that killed, what was it, three or four children?
00:24:41.320And so now this person was a, I don't know what their gender ended up being, but they're a trans person.
00:24:48.760And the focus has been on that instead of the shooting, but it speaks to the larger issue here, which is that there are many comorbidities that often encompass this gender dysphoria and this inability to develop and determine your own identity, who you are as a person.
00:25:08.780And so there's a bunch of mental illnesses that typically coincide with this and learning disabilities, ADHD, there's a whole litany of things.
00:25:19.280And so this further shows that to be true, that this person was obviously suffering from a mental disorder.
00:25:24.820I mean, anyone in their sane right mind would not go into a school and shoot up a bunch of innocent children.
00:25:29.900That's horrific and absolutely appalling to even consider.
00:25:34.080So here, we'll just show you this clip of this woke pastor making the comparison here after this trans shooter incident in Nashville.
00:25:45.440This week, we witnessed yet another mass shooting, roughly the 130th this year, this time at a small private school in Nashville, Tennessee.
00:25:57.960And instead of focusing on ways this could have been prevented, such as gun control, a significant number of people have turned their attention toward the shooter's identity.
00:26:14.660Instead of focusing on the fact that the number one cause of child death in this country is now gunshot wounds.
00:26:25.060Some folks have chosen to focus on eradicating trans people as a solution because they have been waiting, just waiting for an opportunity such as this.
00:26:39.780They have been waiting for a reason, any reason, to stoke their hatred.
00:26:47.260Yeah, that was Mika Luigi, they, them.
00:26:55.400Do you ever notice, Tamara, how the odds of somebody spouting insanity goes up through the roof when you see the gender pronouns next to their name?
00:27:06.700Especially when it's a phony baloney gender pronoun like they, them.
00:27:11.040That's plural, that's one person, you know, once upon a time, do you remember the story of Sybil?
00:27:18.120I think she had 16 or 32 distinct identities.
00:27:23.180It turned out later as she was faking it.
00:27:25.600But you put those people on a psychiatric couch to get them better.
00:27:32.680If that fails, they're institutionalized.
00:27:36.880But as you know, 50 or 60 years ago, we mothballed all the mental institutions and asylums.
00:27:43.760And now these people are out and among us.
00:27:47.440But this idea, I mean, if you go, if you look at what he said, he's comparing Hale, the shooter.
00:27:55.780And if you remember, by the way, Tamara, when this Nashville school was shot up, the thrust of the mainstream media coverage in the U.S.
00:28:07.120was all the groveling apologies for misgendering the shooter because they were told it was a she that's gone he or is it vice versa?
00:28:18.520Even I'm confused. All I know is that Hale is now a bloodstain on a sidewalk, and I'm happy for that.
00:28:26.940Anyone that can go up to nine-year-old children and blow them away is a monster.
00:28:34.080So I don't give a damn about your gender pronouns and your sexual orientation and your gender identity.
00:29:13.240By the way, Tamara, in light of that shooting, have you heard of any trans people being shot at or being brutalized or beaten up?
00:29:24.200It's actually quite the opposite at these protests as police turn a blind eye because they've had to endure trans training, which means if it's trans, it's good.
00:29:55.780You will not believe what I've been able to uncover.
00:29:58.880But can you imagine comparing a mass murderer to Jesus, comparing what's happening to the trans community, which is precisely zero, to the Holocaust?
00:30:14.800And I mean, right in that clip, this person, I don't know if it's a he or a she, I don't really care, says that they're eradicating trans people.
00:30:26.260No, I haven't seen any of that anywhere.
00:30:29.420Again, this isn't about trans rights, the protests and the concerns that I have seen, that I've witnessed, that I've heard of from concerned parents, and also from people within the trans community itself.
00:30:41.500It's that this is sexualizing children.
00:30:46.200It's being done under the guise of being inclusive, tolerant, and catering to this trans ideology.
00:30:53.240But in fact, what it is doing is it exposing children to sexually explicit content that is inappropriate, in many instances, grotesque.
00:31:03.660And as I've already stated, in the case of that book, Identity, it is overt perversion.
00:31:12.160And you can do that if you're so willing, and if you want to teach your children this sorts of things, then you can do that on your own time.
00:31:43.260And if you think that allowing biological males into female sports, into female prisons, if you think that's a display of equity and inclusion and tolerance and diversity, no.
00:31:56.520Actually, what you are doing is you're allowing misogyny to take root.
00:32:03.140And before we go to the ad break, why don't we just, if super producer Efron has it, Tulsi Gabbard's comments, what a brave politician and patriot this woman is.
00:32:15.660Because just when you think that the inmates are completely running the asylum, Tamara, along comes someone like Tulsi with her words on what is happening to real women today.
00:32:28.820Check out the bravery of this woman, folks.
00:32:31.980And that's what's so dangerous about what we're seeing here is the weaponization of these institutions that should exist to serve the best interests of the American people, but instead are being manipulated to serve the political interests of the party that's in power.
00:32:49.780And this is the kind of warning signal to all Americans, regardless of what party you identify with, you maybe don't identify with one party or another, who you like, who you don't like, is this sets that precedent of saying, well, whoever gets in power then has at their disposal all of these different federal agencies and law enforcement agencies to go after their political.
00:33:10.820Sorry about that, folks, sorry about that, folks, that was about the arrest of former President Donald Trump.
00:33:16.700We're going to try to find the right clip.
00:34:06.360Regardless of how we rip control of the country from the globalists, the regressive left will remain an unnegotiable terrorist threat that must be dealt with via extermination.
00:34:18.340You know, I think that that is pretty extreme.
00:34:20.420I'm going to state right here right now that I don't agree with any sort of ideation about extermination.
00:34:31.140I think that that is equally as grotesque as what we see from the other side.
00:34:34.660And I think that the way to move forward in this is to be respectful, to uphold the cornerstone of democracy, which is respectful debate, conversations and criticisms.
00:34:48.320Because as we see the left spiral into censorship, into legislation that directly hits on our constitutional rights and freedoms, our civil liberties.
00:34:59.840We must look to other ways to continue to uphold those cornerstones of democracy.
00:35:08.100I, on this platform live, denounce this idea of extermination.
00:35:13.280And I don't agree at all with that sentiment.
00:35:23.580You know, Tamara, I've always said about the transgender community, you want to live your life as a man, live your life as a female, vice versa.
00:36:22.320And you could have it on, too, if you check out our special website at rebelnewsstore.com.
00:36:27.620That's where you can see Freedom Focus hoodies that we have for you.
00:36:31.720Beanie, cell phone cases, you name it.
00:36:33.980All while supporting our journalism, where we fight to bring you the other side of the story.
00:36:38.940As opposed to, you know, being forced by the Trudeau government to fund leftist media out of your taxes.
00:36:45.420The truth is, without you and your generosity, there is no Rebel News.
00:36:50.920So, again, if you like the reports that we bring you and that we also fight for freedoms in Canada, please consider doing some shopping, picking up some swag at rebelnewsstore.com.
00:38:28.560This was not bringing the drag circus to Scotiabank Arena where there are kids trying to, hopefully, trying to watch a hockey game as opposed to a striptease.
00:38:38.840What, you know, what's so offensive about this, again, Tamara, is our tax dollars are funding this vile propaganda?
00:38:49.820I think you hit the nail on the head there, David.
00:38:53.800It has nothing to do with the conversation that parents are trying to move forward here, which, again, is how inappropriate and grotesque the content is for children, young, impressionable, elementary school-aged kids.
00:39:06.220This was a drag show, apparently, being put on for adults, for soldiers at war.
00:39:15.520This has nothing to do with drag queen story hour for children.
00:39:28.120But, yeah, this is not surprising coming from our state broadcaster that they could reach the depths of some historical records and dig up one impersonator that entertained soldiers out in the field of war.
00:39:46.060And, Tamara, I must say, since we're on the CBC topic, you know, and they're all about tolerance and diversity and love, Trump's hate.
00:40:06.620And she sent out a death threat to English internet personality Ollie London, and she did so because he speaks out against gender ideology.
00:40:19.820I mean, so much of her tweet is profane.
00:40:22.420I mean, I feel uncomfortable saying it on air.
00:40:27.060But is she still contributing to CBC right now?
00:40:31.940Yeah, I'm not, as far as I know, listed on the website as a contributor.
00:40:37.800But we should let our viewers know that, you know, we're going to just read a small clip here of some of the profanities and disgusting death ideation coming from this journalist at the CBC, Carmen Asuna.
00:40:55.180We're about to read you a direct message from this CBC journalist at Ollie London, who is basically sounding the alarm.
00:41:05.120Actually, Drea Humphrey has previously interviewed him, one of her, I don't even know, they, them, about the harms of transitioning and how, you know, the detransitioning phenomenon now you're starting to see because we're so new in this game.
00:41:19.900But regardless, this, I mean, the very first sentence from Carmen, this is a private message to Ollie London, says, I literally hope you effing die.
00:41:33.940You are a piece of shit with nothing left in life.
00:41:37.100So you target marginalized groups and shed an awful and disgusting light on the existence of Asian and trans communities.
00:41:45.320I'm actually surprised that this person is a journalist because they don't even know how to structure a sentence with proper grammatical starts, stops and et cetera.
00:41:55.100They, you know, they say, I don't even know if the worst of it was published on this particular tweet.
00:42:01.820I hope you are taken to a warehouse and tortured.
00:42:04.940I hope the plastic on your face burns and explodes and it goes on.
00:42:29.580Oh, yeah, there's another tweet further down that shares the last, oh, the last few sentences, not even sentences, the last words of this person, because all just one giant run on sentence.
00:42:40.820I hope that they lose, you know, their job.
00:42:42.880I don't wish job loss on many people, but this is extremely unprofessional.
00:42:47.580And, you know, as, as it says in the one, the one photo there, if we can get back down to the second tweet, I think it is the CBC's journalistic standards and practices, right?
00:43:02.360There's the link on that, that second tweet in the thread under about the author.
00:43:07.720Well, I would this contradict or counteract the CBC's journalistic standards and practices.
00:43:15.640So I think that Drea is planning to follow up with Ali and get an interview to see where things ended up there and if there's any future development.
00:43:23.580So for all of our viewers, please also stay tuned for that.
00:43:26.560I'd rather Drea interview Carmen and find out if maybe she was high on something or inebriated when she, I mean, like, like what you just said, Tamara, you know, for someone that's passing herself off as a journalist and you can't even structure a sentence with the proper punctuation.
00:43:44.500And the fact that you have to fall back to F-bombs and other profanity to make your point.
00:43:51.300Or, you know, maybe, I don't know, maybe there's some nuance that you and I are missing when she says she, that she wants him, Ali, dragged into a warehouse and tortured.
00:44:05.480We just said a few minutes ago in response to a viewer super chat that we're not about advocating violence and death to any person or any identifiable group.
00:44:17.860But it looks like the CBC's freelance stable, no problem there, you know, and this is supposedly fitting into their standards, you know, qualifications.
00:44:32.840I just wonder if there's going to be any kind of retraction, apology, what have you.
00:44:39.220If there isn't, we are really living in dark times where you can put out something on social media critical of the radical transgender movement and then be threatened with torture and death.
00:44:54.160And that's a nothing burger, at least in the eyes of the CBC poobahs.
00:44:57.840Well, in the States, recently, actually, I think it was about a month ago, one, you might know him or her again.
00:45:07.380I don't want, I don't get, I get caught up in these gender pronoun things.
00:45:14.900So I guess he's a him, but it used to be a woman.
00:45:18.440He or she has been a heavy activist against the medical transitioning of children, right?
00:45:25.420Again, we're talking about children, about adolescents.
00:45:27.840This isn't about consensual adults who have their brain fully developed and can make their own informed choices, which even this individual, I think she was 42 when she transitioned to a man.
00:45:39.820And even then she wasn't given the full informed consent over all the risks and the benefit of the procedures and the hormones and medications that he, she was given.
00:45:49.960And so she took recently, about a month ago, to a press conference and basically called out all the mainstream media for not reporting on the harms being caused to people in the trans community with medical transitioning and how instead they're just pushing this one narrative down everyone's throats.
00:46:09.560And it's a long clip, so maybe we can just throw to the first minute of it, because I think what he's saying is extremely important.
00:46:16.700And for anybody who's interested, you could go on to Twitter and search out the full clip yourself.
00:46:23.720And I, I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly, but I put it in the Slack, our thread here, but the live stream, if we could maybe just pull up the first minute or so.
00:46:58.780Market research predicts that gender-affirming care will generate more than $5 billion a year in less than a decade.
00:47:08.080The truth is, is that medical transition is experimental, dangerous, and it doesn't cure anything.
00:47:16.680In fact, your question, there's only seven studies that stated that medically transitioning children is beneficial.
00:47:23.060And every single one of them has either been modified with not enough time or participants or, oops, we were sorry.
00:47:31.800Yet these are the pamphlets and the studies that are still given to parents currently.
00:47:36.920And of course, society doesn't know that because you don't cover it.
00:47:40.020We now have children's hospitals all over Europe, halting and banning all childhood medical transition, calling it the worst medical scandal in modern history.
00:47:53.180Yet here in the United States, we have bigots everywhere.
00:48:20.280It's a really great clip and shares a lot of, spews a lot of facts in, I think it's about nine minutes.
00:48:25.120And the full speech can be found elsewhere.
00:48:27.580But yeah, he really sounds the alarm on a lot of the concerns that parents are trying to express and being called bigots and transphobes for doing so.
00:48:35.700And Tamara, he touched upon the most important issue when it comes to the medical community, in the United States at least, in terms of them being gung-ho for these kind of gender reassignments.
00:48:49.900And in terms of threatening doctors who speak out against this with dismissal.
00:49:07.020Because when you are slicing and dicing the genitalia of a person, when you are adding in all the cosmetic surgery procedures to make a man become a fake female and vice versa, those are six-figure operations per individual.
00:49:27.580And you can see by, you know, the anger this person is expressing, you go through all of that and then you find out, you know what, your life hasn't radically changed for the better.
00:50:03.260But I'm sure there will be some way that it can be spun.
00:50:05.800And actually, the rest of the speech goes on to further talk about the profits that big pharma is garnering from the use of these medical experiments.
00:50:15.120And the fact that, again, these children can't make a true informed choice.
00:50:20.620Their parents aren't even being given all of the information in these one-page pamphlets of the risks with very little benefit.
00:50:27.060And this Scott himself says that, you know, he won't even live to see his grandbabies because of all of the health effects that he has suffered.
00:50:36.960And he didn't start transitioning until he was an adult.
00:50:39.540He was already fully formed and functioning.
00:50:41.400And so when you do these surgeries and treatments on children, we have no idea what the long-term consequence will be.
00:50:48.160But some more of that is shared in that clip.
00:50:50.440We're running out of time because we have a trailer or, sorry, a premiere to share with you about the latest Roxham Road report that Alexa Lavoie and Lincoln Jay have done.
00:51:01.400So I just want to quickly run through.
00:51:35.760That's a very important point, if I may, Tamara, that this all, when you drill down what's going on in society, when you have a U.S. Supreme Court judge who is herself female, unable to give a definition of what a woman is.
00:51:50.400If I told you this 10 years ago, even five years ago, you wouldn't have believed me.
00:51:55.300But it is right out of the Marxist playbook.
00:51:58.580It is to tear down society, tear down common sense, tear down our institutions, and build it all back up in a Marxist utopia that does not exist.
00:52:09.660This is the far left movement on steroids.
00:52:14.560This is why we're seeing all this garbage in terms of the transgender movement.
00:53:26.600Now, just on the last topic, you know, I think we have time for two more, actually, because there is something in here that I wanted to really touch on.
00:53:33.860And that was the protest that the Ontario Nurses Association did yesterday on the south end of Queen's Park.
00:53:42.180We have a few Twitter clips to share with you that were shared by the Ontario Nurses Association.
00:53:49.420And I just can't seem to find them here in my list.
00:53:58.820So yeah, the province's nurses and healthcare professionals are, you know, basically trying to get the Doug Ford conservatives to pay attention that they're in this crisis.
00:54:06.400And so they took to the intersection of college and university, which is a main artery there to get access to what's called Hospital Row.
00:55:20.540Also, people who aren't familiar with Toronto, as you go south on University, where this protest is taking place, the provincial parliament is on the north end.
00:55:30.360You're talking hospital row, sick kids hospital, Mount Sinai and on down.
00:55:37.060And when you close off an intersection like that, if, God forbid, there was someone in an ambulance trying to get into a hospital for urgent care, you're going to end up in gridlock.
00:55:51.600The ambulance will have nowhere to move.
00:55:53.540So, wasn't there a big stink during the COVID lockdowns, Tamara, that they wanted demonstrators not to be anywhere near hospitals?
00:56:05.000There was that false narrative that they were preventing doctors, nurses and patients from getting into the hospital.
00:56:30.080And what a double standard we live in, right?
00:56:32.040If it's the freedom movement, the mainstream media is condemning them on the front page.
00:56:36.940And I saw many, many instances where the freedom protesters outnumbered this minuscule protest exponentially.
00:56:47.140So, once again, yeah, it's not only a double standard, it's just more hypocrisy because the Ontario Nurses Association continues to fail to condemn vaccine mandates.
00:56:57.400So, we know that there are a whole host of medical professionals, nurses included, and doctors who have been ousted from the profession completely due to the remained enforcement of COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
00:57:14.460It continues despite the fact that the science shows that it doesn't prevent transmission and it doesn't prevent illness.
00:57:21.480This, these institutions, this union has failed to stand by their members who made their own autonomous bodily, upholding their own bodily autonomy and made their own medical decision.
00:57:34.660So, this is absolutely absurd that they're now lying down in the street saying that there's a crisis in healthcare.
00:57:41.000Well, why don't you advocate for all the healthcare workers that have been terminated, face job loss due to vaccine mandates, and even arguably prior to, with the mask mandates, we know that there are many individuals who struggle to wear a mask for 12 hours straight, which is what they're expected to do.
00:57:58.740And we saw, I think it was being coined, the, I can't remember, early retirement, but there was a word that was being used or a catchphrase, the great resignation we saw through the beginning of COVID.
00:58:15.720And so, that was, you know, the healthcare sector wasn't immune to this idea of the great resignation.
00:58:21.420People just couldn't keep up with the mandates, the nonsense, the BS, the rigmarole.
00:58:26.720They had to jump through these hoops just to perform their duties at work.
00:58:30.760So, where's the Ontario Nurses Association about any of that?
00:58:34.240No, they're just going to lay in the streets and pretend like there's a big staffing crisis when they could fix it.
00:58:39.700You know, and like I said before, right at hospital roll.
00:58:42.680And I mean, to take your demonstration talking points from Extinction Rebellion, this is the kind of crap they do, Tamara.
00:59:50.300Do you support reprisals against companies who cater to the regressive left, including asset and stock transfer, fines, arrests, liquidation, nationalization, etc.?
01:00:00.660I don't personally support those companies.
01:00:04.660However, I also don't support government intervention in that way.
01:00:11.560I very much believe that people should have the right to decide all various topics and various ways that they wish to engage in society or the outside world.
01:00:22.500So, I don't know what you mean by reprisals against companies.
01:00:25.660Do you mean government-sanctioned reprisals?
01:01:02.520Well, you give your outro and then we'll throw to this AI clip of Trudeau.
01:01:07.100And stay tuned to our viewers for the Rocks and Road report.
01:01:10.560Well, I just want to say thank you very much again to Super Producer Efron and yourself, Tamera Ugolini, and to all our audience who are celebrating either Passover or Easter.
01:01:39.940And, of course, the premiere of the Rocks and Road documentary.
01:01:44.480I'll be back here in this chair at 1 o'clock Eastern Standard Time.
01:01:49.180I think it's with Sheila Gunn-Reed on Monday.
01:01:52.500In the meantime, as always, folks, stay safe and stay sane.
01:01:59.340When Canada hosted the G7, the large industrialized nations in Quebec in 2018, we put in place, working with France, the beginnings of the global partnership on AI.
01:02:13.980That is focusing on ethical rules and principles around AI.
01:02:20.420And it may be simple to say, okay, ethical rules, how do you ground that?
01:02:24.580Well, don't do evil is a good way to start, but how do you explain that to a computer?
01:02:31.620Well, grounding it in things like our Charter of Rights and Freedoms as an approach.
01:02:36.820Making sure we're working with top scientists around the world around how the data is used.
01:02:42.440It needs brilliant programmers and thinkers.
01:02:44.460It also needs massive amounts of data that is reliable that can be churned through.
01:02:49.720Well, the kind of data and the kind of programmers working on this, if it's all a non-diverse bunch of experts who all went to the same schools and all went to the same place and don't have the intersectionality or the diversity of experiences to actually reflect those things.
01:03:10.340Well, the outputs of the AI are going to be skewed in favor of certain communities or certain power bases in this economy or in this society that will have better outcomes for some, which is great for the people who already have the power,
01:03:27.460and worse outcomes for others who are invariably further marginalized as soon as there's development.
01:03:34.800So it's not just about good versus evil.
01:03:36.660It's about making sure there's multiplicity of voices and experiences and languages and perspectives as we train up these AIs to be more and more thoughtful.
