00:00:00.000 The Wellness Company Spike Support Formula is an all-natural supplement to help the people experiencing effects from COVID and the you-know-what.
00:00:10.060 Go to twccanada.health slash rebel today.
00:00:30.000 Oh, hey, everybody joining us at home.
00:00:38.460 Today is the start of the week, and we're kicking it off with tons of content to bring you from the Conservative Convention over the weekend and updates on Tamara Leach's trial.
00:00:48.180 Today is Monday, September the 11th.
00:00:50.680 I'm your co-host, Tamara Ugolini, and I'm joined by our Quebec correspondent, Alexa Lavoie.
00:00:57.500 How are you doing over there, Alexa?
00:00:58.420 I'm really good, and I just passed a really incredible, like, lot of movement weekend at the Conservative Convention.
00:01:09.160 Yeah, I'm excited to get your insider scoop and insider details on what happened, how it all unfolded.
00:01:15.400 I mean, I'm sure people who are tuned in can dissect some of the biggest news out there, and we'll get to that in a few minutes.
00:01:21.940 But first and foremost, for all of our viewers at home, thanks so much again for tuning in.
00:01:26.740 You can find us on a few different platforms.
00:01:29.480 So we are currently streaming live on YouTube, Rumble, Odyssey, and Getter.
00:01:35.840 And because of the censorious nature of certain platforms, it's only on Rumble that you can support us through small monetary donations.
00:01:45.920 So you can give us what's called a rumble rant, and again, through small monetary donation, you can have your comment read by us on air, whether that's a tip or an opinion or something that you would like to see us chat a little bit more in depth about or get a comment on.
00:02:02.480 So it's a great way for our viewers to interact with us directly while we're live, and we look forward always every day to hearing feedback from our viewers, our supporters, because we don't take a penny from the government.
00:02:18.580 We're not a government-funded media source.
00:02:20.140 We rely solely on the generosity of our viewers, and that's what keeps us afloat.
00:02:24.720 So we are here to hear whatever it is you have to say.
00:02:29.460 So please use that platform, if you so please, or if you're able to.
00:02:34.260 Now, I did mention the Tamara Leach trial.
00:02:37.000 So Tamara Leach is on day five of a 16-day trial.
00:02:41.480 It may be 19 days total.
00:02:44.240 The Crown has reserved, I think, three additional court dates, but today is day five, and her, Tamara Leach, and co-accused Chris Barber are being tried for really petty crimes.
00:02:56.940 So the official charges are mischief.
00:03:00.020 There's six altogether.
00:03:01.360 Mischief, obstructing police, and counseling others to commit mischief and obstruction and intimidation.
00:03:09.160 So not only is she accused of actually doing those things, she's accused of also counseling others to do those things, despite the fact that there has been no actual crime.
00:03:20.640 But maybe that's yet to be determined.
00:03:22.420 So we have videographer Lincoln Jay, who is on the scene.
00:03:26.140 He stays outside of the courtroom to get any notable people who are outside.
00:03:30.860 And then we have our Ottawa respondent, Robert Krejcik, who is actually live-tweeting.
00:03:36.860 So you can follow both of those accounts on Twitter, Robert Krejcik and Lincoln Jay.
00:03:40.720 We're also doing a nightly recap video, as well as a page.
00:03:46.080 And so all of this can be found at tameratrial.com.
00:03:50.680 So the written piece kind of compiles all of the most notable tweets of the day, every day.
00:03:56.160 Then Robert does a weekly, or sorry, a nightly video recap.
00:03:59.060 And just going up now, I believe it's up, or should be up shortly, was a more in-depth interview with one of Tamara Leach's lawyers from the Democracy Fund.
00:04:10.600 That's the Canadian charity who is providing Leach with legal defense at no cost to her.
00:04:17.700 So one of their lawyers, Alan Hawner, came with her on Friday to do kind of a full-scope recap and get some legal insights there.
00:04:29.260 So you don't want to miss it.
00:04:31.620 And I think, were we just showing a quick video there of Tamara entering the courtroom today?
00:04:37.140 I think we have some clips.
00:04:38.880 That's from this morning.
00:04:40.940 Like I mentioned, Lincoln Jay is outside of the courtroom.
00:04:42.840 He's catching those notable clips.
00:04:44.580 And so some other kind of key details so far from Robert Krejcik inside the courthouse.
00:04:52.920 There's some testimony that's scheduled today.
00:04:56.420 The judge is supposed to have a decision here.
00:04:59.780 I guess the Crown, the prosecution, has been filibustering with providing evidence and their submissions,
00:05:08.980 which should have been obtained, I believe it was by August 1st.
00:05:12.080 So we're almost five, six weeks out from that deadline, which the judge found to be, I'm putting words in her mouth, but unacceptable is what I would say.
00:05:23.840 And so we're looking forward to seeing, you know, it's very early on, but it seems like this judge has been taking a very fair and unbiased approach,
00:05:30.940 which is, in my opinion, exactly how the judicial system should go and should be run and something that we haven't had and I haven't really seen much of throughout the last two and a half, three years.
00:05:44.580 So we'll see as it unfolds.
00:05:46.540 But day five is looking so good so far.
00:05:49.560 What do you think, Alexa?
00:05:50.400 But I think, like, this trial, it's really important to watch because the result will show actually the full result of if this protest is peaceful or not.
00:06:09.560 And so far on the trial, what I was, like, what I heard so far from Robert, it seems that everything was peaceful and everybody said that it was peaceful.
00:06:21.940 And Robert bring that they were using the TikTok of Chris Barber for some part of it, showing that Chris Barber always told the people to remain peaceful and they didn't want anybody that will disturb the event.
00:06:40.400 So they used that against him, but it seems that at the end of the day, the TikTok proved that Chris Barber didn't want nothing bad happen.
00:06:52.580 He always say, we want everything peaceful.
00:06:57.680 We just want everything go well.
00:07:01.640 And we want just to ask and show our voice.
00:07:07.220 And it seems that, for now, everything go on their way.
00:07:15.480 Like, everything is positive for Chris Barber.
00:07:18.040 Everything seems to be positive for Tamara Leach.
00:07:21.240 So we just keep an eye on that because the trial is going until October.
00:07:26.280 So if you are more interested to know information about it, go to tamaratrial.com.
00:07:33.040 You can see all the coverage and also you can keep yourself updated on the last trial every day.
00:07:41.840 It's four days a week, so it's pretty intense.
00:07:47.500 Yeah, it's three to four days a week and then they skip a week.
00:07:50.680 I had it written down on another note somewhere here.
00:07:53.500 But anyway, so yeah, it runs from the September 11th to 14th, 18th to 22nd, and then October 11th to 13th for a total of 16 days of trial.
00:08:03.880 Again, today is day five, and then the potential dates of October 30th, 31st, and November 1st have been held for potential trial.
00:08:13.980 And I think that was a big reason why the judge was upset, for lack of a better word, at the prosecution, the Crown filibustering the evidentiary submissions,
00:08:24.540 was because it's really a waste of the court's time, right, especially been highlighted throughout COVID, is the severe backlog on the judicial system, especially with criminal law.
00:08:35.940 And not to give away too much of Alan Hawner's interview, the lawyer that Krejcik interviewed on Friday, that interview should be up, if not already, shortly.
00:08:44.260 And it's really disrespectful to the people sitting in jail, or who may be waiting on bail, or so on and so forth, to unnecessarily tie up the Crown, the judicial system, for evidence that, I mean, you've had two years to gather it and submit it.
00:09:04.320 It should have all been in by August 1st, and the fact that they're still giving this runaround.
00:09:08.360 And the Crown, in their opening statements against Tamara Leach and co-accused Chris Barber, said that the protest was anything but peaceful.
00:09:17.340 And yet, as you mentioned, Alexa, those clips from Chris Barber, from Tamara Leach, from one of the key volunteers, Tom Razo, they repeatedly stated,
00:09:27.300 remain peaceful, even in the face of police violence, be peaceful, don't resist arrest, et cetera, et cetera.
00:09:33.920 Or if they smash your windows, if they're wrecking your vehicles, which they did extensively to these truckers, hundreds of thousands of dollars, excuse me, worth of damage.
00:09:43.940 And the truckers didn't do anything to retaliate against this.
00:09:47.500 So I guess part of the witnesses that will take stand today, and this is, again, from Robert Krejcik's Twitter, where he's, or his ex, that's hard to get used to, where he posted.
00:09:58.820 He says, defense counsel for Leach argues that pending testimony from some scheduled witnesses, which include residents of Ottawa, business owners, and Ottawa City transportation employees,
00:10:08.380 for the Crown, they should be gotten rid of due to central admissions.
00:10:14.120 Okay, that's not the right one.
00:10:15.080 The one I wanted to refer to was, oh, that these people and their testimonies will apparently show and ascertain how this protest was not, was anything but peaceful.
00:10:27.300 So this still remains to be seen.
00:10:29.940 Maybe there's some larger strategy at play here.
00:10:32.220 Again, we're day five of 16, potentially 19 days of trial.
00:10:35.540 Well, so only time will tell, but if you want to support, if you value this, this coverage that we're giving this trial, because otherwise, you know, you would have to rely on the mainstream media for their reports.
00:10:45.860 And we know the way that they framed the Freedom Convoy while it was happening.
00:10:49.940 If you think that this is important, and you enjoy having this inside scoop of someone there on the ground dissecting this, giving these interviews, gathering this insight, then please consider supporting our work.
00:11:01.580 And again, you can find out all of this, we've made a website URL that you can, that's compiling everything for ease of access.
00:11:08.760 That's tameratrial.com.
00:11:12.740 Now, without further ado, Alexa, maybe we can go into a little bit of the Conservative Convention that happened this past weekend in Quebec.
00:11:19.880 So it was great that we had you, especially as a French speaker, to be there.
00:11:24.860 And you caught not only some Conservative Party members, but also some Liberals who, I guess, in a way, tried to crash their party.
00:11:32.760 The first one here is Pablo Rodriguez.
00:11:34.700 So many of you may be familiar with him.
00:11:36.420 He's the former Minister of Canadian Heritage.
00:11:39.240 He's responsible for all of these online censorship bills.
00:11:41.740 And then in the cabinet shuffle that happened just a few weeks ago, he's now taken on the portfolio of Minister of Transport from Omar Al-Gabra, who I would say was equally as inept as he is, is putting forth policy and legislation that actually works to do any good.
00:11:59.220 Alexa, why don't you give us some insider information, what you were on the ground seeing and your reports there?
00:12:04.620 It was really, you know, the Conservative Convention took place in Le Centre de Congrès for three days, but actually two days and a half because it started really late on the first day.
00:12:20.520 It was only the opening ceremony where we had like a couple of speeches.
00:12:27.660 We had actually two former, two former, one was the lieutenant and a major, there was Barbara and Michel Maisonneuve who did a really beautiful speech.
00:12:45.200 They also bring the Freedom Convoy, they did like a really small segment about it.
00:12:52.080 I had the chance to interview both of them.
00:12:54.840 I also bring why it was important for them to bring the Freedom Convoy on their speech.
00:13:04.620 And I think we have a clip on that.
00:13:07.280 I don't know if we can throw the clip for.
00:13:11.620 It's Barbara Maisonneuve who actually speaks why, why she stands by the Freedom Convoy and why it was the responsibility of Justin Trudeau to talk to them.
00:13:26.500 But he didn't have actually any, oh, this clip that we will just see, it's a part of their speech.
00:13:33.620 So let's watch this one first.
00:13:37.400 Canada deserves a common sense prime minister who will unite us all, who will recognize, respect and embrace the differences of this vast country.
00:13:51.620 A prime minister who will make up policy that makes us all better and all better off, one who will bring us together with his vision and ensure there is a place for every Canadian on his team.
00:14:04.400 A prime minister for all Canadians who will unite us by making us see that we count, that every Canadian counts, no matter who they voted for.
00:14:13.400 If Canadians feel strongly about something, a prime minister should listen, not attack and insult them.
00:14:20.400 If thousands of Canadians feel so strongly about something that they get into their vehicles and drive to Ottawa to be heard, the prime minister should pay attention.
00:14:38.400 So it was a really great moment and a really powerful moment, especially when you think that it's only the opening ceremony.
00:14:56.820 And so it's why when I had the chance to meet with them and ask them like their opinion, we mostly talk with them about the national defense, but at the end, I wanted to have their take on the Freedom Convoy.
00:15:14.820 And so I had a small clip over about the Freedom Convoy.
00:15:21.940 Do we have that clip to share as well or would that be from the full report?
00:15:25.300 Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's from the full report that's coming up, but I, uh, I share a small clip and this is this one.
00:15:34.920 It still is that all Canadians matter.
00:15:38.620 It doesn't matter who you voted for.
00:15:40.600 The prime minister as the elected prime minister is responsible to look after me as well.
00:15:46.620 He's everyone's prime minister.
00:15:48.100 So thousands of people were upset about whatever the reason is.
00:15:53.140 If they come this all the way to Ottawa, they deserve to be heard.
00:15:56.500 And what happened afterward was, was not necessary.
00:16:00.160 I firmly believe that had the prime minister met the convoy, they knew my God, we all knew they were coming.
00:16:06.600 It would never would have deteriorated into what happened and we would have saved millions of dollars and these people would not be on trial today.
00:16:14.320 The result of the convoy was his fault and he should have known better.
00:16:18.340 And I firmly stand by that belief.
00:16:20.500 And, and she's right, like nobody will have been in trial today.
00:16:26.520 Nobody will have been beat up, trampled or even shot like me.
00:16:31.840 Um, if the prime minister had just the courage to meet with the protesters and talk with them because in a healthy democracy, it's communication.
00:16:45.200 And if you cannot have that skill in this kind of situation where your own people are enough mad, frustrating and disesperate to drive all the way to Ottawa to speak with you.
00:17:01.980 And you don't have like the single, like courage to accord them a couple of minutes of your time.
00:17:07.900 This just show that you, you are not made to be a leader of the country.
00:17:12.960 So, well, I, yeah, I let you, what is your thought about that?
00:17:18.440 Well, remember the whole reason why he didn't come out and meet the convoy originally was a, he tested positive for COVID apparently for the second time, I believe it was.
00:17:29.000 And I think he probably already had two doses of the novel mRNA injection at that point.
00:17:35.080 Um, and so he really went into hiding because we all know that famous clip now where Trudeau says, oh, this is a small fringe minority on their way to Ottawa to, to, um, air unacceptable views is, you know, essentially both, both direct quotes and paraphrasing a little bit.
00:17:55.700 Um, and so he, I don't think coupled with the Ottawa police services who had also just instituted their own vaccine mandate and lost a fraction of their force.
00:18:06.340 Uh, they were not prepared for the breadth and the magnitude of the trucker convoy that made its way into Ottawa that really just continued to grow, right?
00:18:16.600 There was that first weekend where they were completely overwhelmed.
00:18:19.900 And then every weekend thereafter, that grassroots movement continued to swell that downtown core and logistics were a nightmare.
00:18:29.920 Um, and that's part of the Tamara Leach trial coverage that we're doing is sorting out some of those, those details on what went wrong and why.
00:18:38.980 And so a big part of it was that the, a Ottawa police services were not prepared.
00:18:43.920 Uh, they were told directly from their, the police were told directly from their supervisors.
00:18:48.880 And perhaps there was political meddling in there as well from the prime minister's office, not to concede one inch to the convoy.
00:18:57.160 They weren't willing to work with them.
00:18:59.280 Uh, the convoy always did keep that one lane open for emergency access and traffic and pedestrians and so on.
00:19:05.500 Uh, so I think we're going to find out a lot of these details that in terms of the ineptitude that was at play, the political interference.
00:19:14.140 And I hope that those details start to be come to light because it's a lot of things that we've suspected all along.
00:19:19.840 And you hear, uh, grumblings about if you are, if you have, uh, ever spoken to anybody who was involved in the freedom convoy, like Tom Marazzo, like Tamara Leach, like Chris Barber.
00:19:29.320 I mean, the list is endless.
00:19:31.200 There was a whole team dedicated to what they were doing and how to best get their message across.
00:19:36.880 Because I think we have to remember as well, that Canadians had been ignored by all levels of government.
00:19:42.600 If you question the COVID regime, if you question the narrative, if you said, hey, these lockdown measures are harming my children, you were framed as some sort of selfish grandma killer and completely disregarded and ignored.
00:19:53.340 And so this was the culmination of two years of Canadians being ignored by their political representatives.
00:20:01.540 Those people, you know, in a democracy that we're supposed to have, you elect those representatives to represent you.
00:20:09.820 And what Canadians were finding was that was just not happening.
00:20:12.220 And so they took to the nation's capital, which is historically where you would go to protest and air grievances to hopefully have their voices finally heard.
00:20:20.440 And instead of hearing them, Trudeau slandered them, name called them, gaslit them.
00:20:27.700 And then you had their mainstream media lapdogs basically running a concerted, similarly, a concerted slandering campaign to paint these protesters as, you know, this fringe minority with far right extremist views.
00:20:43.460 When in fact, there was a diversity of thought, a diversity of opinion.
00:20:47.200 And all these people wanted was to finally get back to the normalcy we had in the pre-COVID era.
00:20:53.640 So the whole handling of this was obviously heavy handed and shows how inept the government really has been, I would argue, since, you know, 2015 when the Trudeau liberals took office, but been very much heightened by the COVID response.
00:21:14.560 So that was a long-winded way to get back to some of your clips.
00:21:17.840 Sorry about that, Alexa.
00:21:18.640 No, but I was just saying that now we probably regret of what he did, because right now what we saw is like most of the conservatives that are not the fringe, but actually the opposite, that are voting now for the conservative party, that now it's on the poll for more than 40%.
00:21:37.400 So it seems to be like living at the majority are way, way, way for the trucker convoy.
00:21:45.860 They are for them.
00:21:47.860 They are with all their heart with Tamara Leach.
00:21:52.280 And now I think like probably Justin Trudeau is just like, whoops.
00:21:56.720 So I thought I was actually with the majority of Canadians, but actually I was going against the bigger part of the population.
00:22:07.660 And so that will play against him, obviously.
00:22:10.680 And we were able to see, like in the conservative party, I was able to feel the united side of the population.
00:22:22.620 They were all together and they wanted to work together to get with some policy that was perfect for the moment that we live on.
00:22:32.600 And I was capable to see that most of the policy that was on the table was in reaction of the bad policy or the bad law that Mr. Trudeau had imposed on Canadians.
00:22:48.420 So just by example, we were talking about, of course, a carbon tax, but China, foreign interference.
00:23:02.060 We had like, they had the policy about China, the food sanction, because when you go in war, they had like the space of women in the society to protect their space.
00:23:16.980 They had like also another policy on children to protect their mental and physical health.
00:23:25.520 So avoiding children to do any surgery before the age of 18, when we look at gender dysphoria.
00:23:35.980 So there was like a lot of different policy.
00:23:39.900 And it was nice because everybody was capable to debate, communicate and share their own idea.
00:23:48.520 Nobody was putting aside because it was thinking differently.
00:23:53.920 So it's why it was nice to see.
00:23:56.520 And in response of many different things, like I know that Pablo Rodriguez went out really late after the speech of Pierre Polievre.
00:24:08.900 I know that Steven Guilbault also went out after seeing the policy of the party.
00:24:18.420 And it was really hypocritical from Steven Guilbault.
00:24:22.580 He just came back from China.
00:24:24.440 And now he was in front of the Centre des Congrès to speak badly about the fact that it seemed that Conservative Party have no plan for climate change.
00:24:33.900 But in the same way, Mr. Guilbault go to China, doesn't challenge them on their practices on emission of the...
00:24:48.900 Yeah, they're building all these coal-fired electricity plants.
00:24:53.100 Exactly.
00:24:53.820 So, sorry, it's just because you use like different letters in English than French.
00:24:57.820 Also, we say GOS.
00:24:59.920 But he didn't challenge them on that.
00:25:02.680 He didn't challenge them on the interference in Canada, in our democracy.
00:25:08.680 So, it's really hypocritical and on his side to just show up.
00:25:14.040 And the thing is, Liberals usually, they have like a really controlled area for their media.
00:25:21.120 So, usually they are in their comfort zone.
00:25:25.640 And now they arrive in an era where you have Turonaut, you have us, you have many different independent media.
00:25:35.220 And so, I don't think they were prepared for that.
00:25:37.680 They were like actually seeing all those media challenging them with like questions that they were not expecting.
00:25:43.460 And so, it's why like when Pablo Rodriguez came back like the second day, he actually focused on two media only, Radio Canada, that is actually the French ABC and TVA.
00:25:56.760 And he didn't like allowed almost like nobody really around or didn't give time to another one.
00:26:03.760 But I'm working to retrieve the audio for one of the questions that I asked to Pablo Rodriguez because I think it was accurate to ask him if to win the next election, a good strategy would be to ask Justin Trudeau to resign.
00:26:23.000 And he keeps saying that Justin Trudeau loved Canadians, loved Quebecer.
00:26:28.460 He was able to lead them to being elected and he said that he would be probably able to get re-elected again.
00:26:37.160 And I say to him like in the answer to that, he said, yeah, but if he likes so much Canadians, why did they spend the time to divide, polarize the population with vaccine mandates?
00:26:50.160 And he kept answering to me until I say, but what do you say is okay, but do you think that we should tolerate from a leader to say, should we tolerate them in a society talking to people who are dissident?
00:27:08.020 And so it was going on and on with him and it's really, you need to understand that it would be really rare to see liberal to answer to independent outlet because usually, as I say, they have a media control.
00:27:25.660 So they are not facing independent media.
00:27:30.240 So just the fact that you see that they are answering to us, that show that they know they are going to lose.
00:27:38.320 They know that it's not going well for them and they have no choice now to try to gain back some credibility among Canadians.
00:27:49.220 But I don't think that will work at all.
00:27:52.520 But if you take like the clip of Peter McKay, he was a former attorney, general attorney, former national defense minister, justice minister.
00:28:07.980 And it's really interesting because he worked for under Pierre Lier Trudeau, Harper, so many like prime minister and look at what he has to say about Justin Trudeau.
00:28:21.520 Justin Trudeau has, in fact, surpassed his father in terms of the division and the derision and the anger and the destructive policies and the diminishing of Canada's reputation.
00:28:34.420 I think he's outdone his father in terms of the damage that he has inflicted on Canadians.
00:28:41.060 What do you do with that?
00:28:42.280 Yeah.
00:28:43.140 Well, I keep going back to the fact that he quite literally campaigned, Justin Trudeau, in the snap election that he called in the fall of 2021.
00:28:53.280 He literally campaigned on the wedge issue of COVID-19 vaccination.
00:29:00.000 And anybody who questioned the safety and efficacy of these novel injections was, again, gaslit, denounced, called conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer.
00:29:13.300 The rhetoric that was espoused by Trudeau, I don't want to play the whole clip, but we have, I think it's a two and a half minute clip of Trudeau on stage rallying the troops, his liberal lapdogs and his clapping SEAL liberal supporters, that you don't have the right to get on a plane, a train or an automobile and put our children at risk.
00:29:38.820 And do we, like you said, do we tolerate these people?
00:29:42.680 This is the most segregationist prime minister or global leader that we've seen in a developed democratic nation for as long as I can remember.
00:29:52.920 That's for certain, and maybe I wasn't paying attention before, but this segregationist rhetoric is extremely dangerous and it's a slippery slope and you're seeing the fallout of it now.
00:30:05.280 I think the conservatives were, last time I checked, 10 to 12% lead in the polls.
00:30:10.720 Maybe it's more now.
00:30:11.700 Now, it's just so unfortunate that the liberals and the NDP have this unofficial coalition because they basically prop each other up to form a majority government as two actual fringe minority governments.
00:30:25.500 They prop one another up to form a majority.
00:30:29.420 And so the actual opposition that we have, which are the conservatives and a little bit the Bloc Québécois, they don't have a leg to stand on as a result.
00:30:37.820 And I also, going back to kind of the Freedom Convoy and how that was a bit of a topic within the convention itself, you know, at that time, we didn't have a strong backbone conservative that was taking that oppositional stance.
00:30:50.720 There was Erin O'Toole who was voted out of the party because he was soft on everything and really a liberal in conservative clothing.
00:31:00.200 And then you had the interim leader, Candace Bergen, who started to speak up a little bit more, started to be more oppositional, started to question things and provide that so needed and wanted opposition to the unabated liberal rulings.
00:31:16.080 And then now, of course, we have Pierre Polyev, which he's been kind of growing, elaborating further on what Candace had started to do at that time.
00:31:28.240 And so I think that's why the convoy is such a key part of their convention was because you saw there firsthand the silent majority.
00:31:39.220 We always hear of, oh, the silent majority. And they're just the people who don't want to be bothered.
00:31:44.640 They just want to be left alone. They're happy to, you know, go to work.
00:31:48.660 They have a roof over their heads. They have a good paying job there.
00:31:51.700 They can feed, clothe and shelter their children.
00:31:54.500 And we're seeing all of that has been completely flipped on its head over the last three years.
00:31:59.020 And again, arguably from starting in 2015, when the Liberals took office.
00:32:04.480 And so the more and more Canadians are getting hit where it hurts the most, which is their pocketbooks,
00:32:10.640 the opposition has more of that backing to and that leg to stand on with that majority who's not being silent anymore.
00:32:22.640 And that is refreshing to see, especially as they vote on things like you mentioned, the gender affirming care for minors.
00:32:29.500 And so we have a written piece here just highlighting the conservative members.
00:32:36.140 They voted to ban gender affirming care for minors by 69% of delegates supported this.
00:32:45.380 It's a non-binding vote. So we'll see what actually comes to fruition there.
00:32:48.480 But they 69% of them voted to ban irreversible gender transition for children and teenagers.
00:32:54.900 And so that's referred to specifically as medical transition and physical and surgeries.
00:33:02.300 So this isn't like social transition where you're just going by different pronouns or wanting to associate with a different name.
00:33:09.720 But this is, you know, that irreversible medical step that happens next.
00:33:15.640 And this seems to be kind of infiltrating younger and younger demographics and generations to undergo hormone therapy and then these surgical procedures.
00:33:26.060 So that's reassuring to see that, you know, we want to protect our minors, our vulnerable youth who doesn't have that robustly developed brain to make those reasonable, rational decisions for themselves yet.
00:33:41.120 And like for the people who like say, OK, this is this is like a part of it.
00:33:49.100 But also in the motion, what they were saying is like increasing the follow up with the medical professional to help the kids to to with their mental health.
00:34:03.920 Like if they are suffering from gender dysphoria, they will not let alone they will be followed by the medical care really closely.
00:34:15.280 So it's not just like banning something and not for they not think about maybe some children who are suffering because we need to say that.
00:34:24.760 Yes, there is like children that are suffering from gender dysphoria, but they also came up with the for solving a part of the problem until the age of 18.
00:34:37.360 So I think the full policy was actually complete.
00:34:42.160 And and yeah, it was really controversial.
00:34:45.240 So I would say like a lot of people were talking about that during the three day, not knowing so so much if it would pass the first step because he had two step.
00:34:55.120 First of all, he needed to be adopted in the private room during the first day.
00:35:01.040 And afterwards, he needed to bring in front of everybody and be adopted by not only the member, but also like the the MP and everybody.
00:35:09.800 So, yeah, so he passed and regarding like the speech of Mr. Poliev, a lot of media have talked about it and it was a really long speech, but a really interesting speech.
00:35:23.120 But I know that his wife did speak at the beginning and this was a really beautiful speech, really nationalist.
00:35:31.660 Um, we have a part of it, we can actually show she's she also talk about truckers, if you read under the line in between line, I say, you can say that she's talking that the trucker from the, the freedom convoy, like and and also other trucker, but you will see by yourself.
00:35:54.040 But whenever I think we have a tough, I remember the extraordinary people that carry the country on their shoulders, the nurse, the waitress, the plumber, and yes, the trucker who are suffering more.
00:36:24.040 You know, like we know that the nurses had like a really hard time during the vaccine mandate because they were facing losing their job after being like the angel of the pandemic.
00:36:45.860 Uh, we know that the waitress has a hard time too, because they were closing down up, down up, uh, the restaurant, but the plumber was another, um, problematic because, uh, we know that, uh, they needed to go to home and it was kind of like really difficult.
00:37:06.720 Some people, some people, some people who didn't want to open their door to people who were, who didn't receive the shot or everything.
00:37:15.780 So, and the trucker, of course, because they had like a multitude of problems, uh, not only like the station was close with them, but they, they had no place to go to the toilet, to take shower, to go to eat.
00:37:30.300 And they were on the road most of the time.
00:37:33.880 And now they were seeing like their job taking away because, uh, they had, uh, no option to go and cross to us and come back without doing a quarantine.
00:37:45.200 So, um, she talked about the extraordinary people because those people were there and they kept, kept the economy and they kept like the society and everything going, uh, same.
00:37:59.320 Um, if they had a hard time, um, she also talked, uh, to Quebecer, um, of course, like, um, from Quebec.
00:38:08.340 So I understand really her speech.
00:38:10.360 It was really beautiful.
00:38:11.520 She bring up like some of our TV shows, some of our culture.
00:38:16.620 So I think a lot of Quebecer saw themselves on her, especially she's immigrant.
00:38:23.020 She, she came, came to Quebec first.
00:38:25.780 She was really welcomed by, uh, us.
00:38:28.640 So, uh, it was kind of nice to see, not only like they, they came to search like the Quebec heart, but also the Canadian heart.
00:38:37.640 So it was really interesting to, to her and to see.
00:38:42.200 Well, let's go to a quick ad break and then we will come back with some more, uh, Trudeau liberals being under fire, both at home and internationally.
00:38:50.700 We're facing an imminent threat.
00:38:55.680 A planned blackout of all news content in Canada is coming to Facebook and Instagram, threatening to silence rebel news and those who depend on us for the other side of the story.
00:39:05.680 The cause?
00:39:06.620 Well, Justin Trudeau's new censorship law, Bill C-18, which demands social media companies pay news outlets for the news stories their users share on the platform.
00:39:16.460 It's a shakedown and a desperate attempt to keep the mainstream media afloat.
00:39:21.440 It seems the billions in taxpayer subsidies just aren't enough to keep the country's propagandists in business.
00:39:28.780 But Meta, Facebook's parent company, has chosen to block Canadian news content rather than comply, Rebel News included.
00:39:36.920 Many have already lost their ability to access our Facebook and Instagram pages.
00:39:41.080 The blackout will soon affect every user in Canada.
00:39:44.580 But fear not, we have had a plan to protect your access to our news content.
00:39:49.580 We've partnered with Private Internet Access, PIA, a VPN provider dedicated to safeguarding digital privacy.
00:39:57.060 For just $2 a month, you can maintain your access to our content across all your devices.
00:40:01.920 And unlike other VPN providers, PIA does not store any user data as it's automatically deleted from their servers to avoid leaks and government subpoenas for information.
00:40:13.400 Their servers are located in all 50 states, not the ones in Communist China.

00:40:26.040 Use it to bypass regional restrictions and stream your favorite shows from anywhere in the world.
00:40:30.400 And stick it to Trudeau's new censorship law.
00:40:33.780 Safeguard freedom of speech and join us to combat Trudeau's censorship today at piavpn.com slash rebelnews.
00:40:46.640 All right.
00:40:47.440 I was just going to say, like, since I have my VPN, my life is way better.
00:40:53.460 Yeah, you can access all the content that the liberals don't want you to see.
00:41:00.500 And so while we're on the topic still of conservative and liberals, we'll just share with you quickly this Toronto Star article where it says that millennials are nearly twice as likely to vote for conservatives over liberals.
00:41:11.260 And that's according to a survey.
00:41:12.880 So millennials are that generation between 1981 and 1994, 95, 96-ish.
00:41:19.640 So roughly 25 and 40-year-olds.
00:41:22.120 And I'm a little surprised at this because at the events that we run or the things that we cover, I often see a little bit of an older demographic.
00:41:31.500 So I hear a lot of this from kind of my friend circle and my social circle, but I don't see a lot of it out in the wild, so to speak.
00:41:40.700 And so this is great for me that those previous liberal captured demographic has now switched gears and seeing, again, I think people are starting to see how much their failed policies is hitting them in the pocketbooks.
00:41:55.500 And people of this age demographic, you know, they can no longer, if they have a house, they can't afford it anymore.
00:42:01.520 If they don't have a house, good luck getting into the market.
00:42:04.100 It's a complete disaster.
00:42:05.740 Inflation is through the roof.
00:42:06.920 Cost of living is insane.
00:42:09.200 And so you're starting to see more and more Canadians get involved and starting to care about what's happening sociopolitically and socioeconomically as a result of that.
00:42:18.740 So this found that the Tories are pulling at 40% among Canadian millennials ahead of NDP at 24% and the Liberals at a mere 21%.
00:42:29.840 Among the younger generation, Gen Z, the Conservatives also hold a strong lead at 32%, 6% points over the NDP and 8% percentage points ahead of the Liberals.
00:42:42.580 Overall, among all Canadians, a survey found Conservatives would capture 38% of the vote, followed by the Liberals at 26% and Jagmeet Singh's NDP with 19%.
00:42:54.060 So that, you know, that speaks volumes there, how Canadians are feeling and how failed the Liberals have been throughout the last few years and really not trying to make amends at all.
00:43:06.300 And I think people are now obviously waking up to the fact that the Liberals are inept and want to bring, I have to say it, what Polyev says, bring common sense home.
00:43:18.680 People are really craving that rational approach politically.
00:43:22.740 What really, like, concerned me is to see the yellow growing, the NPD growing over, like, the different generation.
00:43:30.220 Because we know that we live in a society that now mainstream media and everybody is just going with fear monitoring around, like, climate change.
00:43:42.780 And people are going to NPD or Quebec Solidarity at home because they are the ones who are actually propagating, like, some fear, crazy fear about, like, climate change.
00:43:56.560 And so I, and we see that this is into the school institution, too.
00:44:02.240 So my only point is, like, probably the next generation, the yellow, but the yellow or the NPD will grow again and again and again.
00:44:12.500 So I think my concern is mostly there.
00:44:16.620 Yeah.
00:44:17.480 Well, and we're seeing, it's funny right now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, just to source another article, because we have a few things to cover here I want to get through before.
00:44:26.560 We have to wrap things up.
00:44:27.640 But this National Post article shows that, so over the past weekend, Trudeau was in India for the G20 leaders summit.
00:44:36.860 And he's currently stranded there because his aircraft has experienced some sort of technical issues and it won't be fixed overnight.
00:44:46.540 So whether or not he, that has been remedied, I guess we'll, we're soon to find out.
00:44:50.580 But this comes after he faced criticisms from the Indian government.
00:44:56.440 As per the Globe and Mail, the Indian Prime Minister Modi conveyed strong concerns about protesting Canada against India to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the sidelines of the G20 summit that just took place in New Delhi, according to a statement by India.
00:45:14.620 And we actually have a clip here to share with you.
00:45:20.100 Well, the first one is what Trudeau said, and then we'll show you a really funny opposition clip thereafter.
00:45:28.560 So maybe we can just play that, that first.
00:45:30.560 This comes from the post-millennial, this clip of Trudeau in India.
00:45:34.200 Sorry, in advance.
00:45:37.280 One that has been reported by the Indian media quoting Indian government sources who say Prime Minister Modi spoke to you about the presence, in his terms, of Sikh Kalistani militants in Canada.
00:45:50.920 And the second is the question of interference in Canada by India, which has been cited by Canada's own intelligence agencies.
00:45:58.220 Did neither of those topics come up?
00:45:59.380 No, they both came up over the years with Prime Minister Modi.
00:46:04.160 We've had many conversations on both of those issues.
00:46:08.940 Obviously, Canada will always defend freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, freedom of peaceful protest.
00:46:16.700 That's something that's extremely important to us.
00:46:18.680 At the same time, as we're always there to prevent violence, to push back against hatred.
00:46:25.600 I think on the issue of the community, it's important to remember that the actions of the few do not represent the entire community or Canada.
00:46:36.420 The flip side of it, we also highlighted the importance of respecting the rule of law, and we did talk about foreign interference.
00:46:46.080 Mr. Deflect a little bit there.
00:46:47.400 It's just like, at the end, like, it's just like, and we talk about it, foreign interference.
00:46:53.940 It's just like, swoop.
00:46:56.200 Yeah, by the way, we did also discuss this, even though you didn't ask about it at all.
00:46:59.960 And that kind of, like, seems to be, Trudeau just has a script that he has to stick to.
00:47:04.080 And, you know, as you were also finding with the Liberal Party members that you were asking questions to, you know, they have a script that they're going to just repeat and parrot.
00:47:13.640 And they can't deter or detract from that because they don't otherwise know what to say or how to handle themselves.
00:47:21.320 And, you know, I'm not a huge, you know, I'm not a true believer in Pierre Polia, for instance.
00:47:28.440 And, you know, I think we should always be vigilant to be critical and think critically and ask critical questions of anyone who's in charge of leading a country, for instance.
00:47:40.500 But you need to be able to answer questions and think on your feet.
00:47:45.920 And Trudeau has shown repeatedly that he just lacks that capability.
00:47:51.100 And judging by his cabinet ministers who are not chosen appropriately, in my opinion, they can't do it either.
00:48:02.220 So we have another clip here to share from the post-millennial.
00:48:05.740 Sorry, I didn't realize there was two.
00:48:06.780 And then we'll get into this really funny news clip from an Indian news network.
00:48:13.820 Hi, what did Canada contribute?
00:48:17.300 As always, Canada is a strong voice for inclusion of gender language, inclusion of Indigenous reflections.
00:48:28.880 But all throughout, we made sure that countries around the world are focused on growing the economy in inclusive ways.
00:48:36.780 Creating opportunity and prosperity for everyone in a more peaceful, more secure world.
00:48:42.040 Respect for the rule of law.
00:48:44.720 Ambition on fighting climate change.
00:48:46.880 These are all things that Canada pushes for at every summit, among others.
00:48:50.740 And we will continue to.
00:48:51.820 Oh, my God.
00:48:54.820 I have the impression that each rule, like, a bunch of words together.
00:48:58.460 Yeah.
00:48:58.720 And it just doesn't make sense at all.
00:49:00.840 Like, gender language and climate change and, like, rule of law and tons of other words like that in the same sentence.
00:49:12.000 It doesn't really answer the question.
00:49:15.540 Well, of course.
00:49:16.220 No, you have to skirt it because it's not part of your talking points.
00:49:18.500 But an inclusive economy will, and I don't, you know, not to make this a trucker-centric live stream.
00:49:25.440 But what about the truckers that took to your nation's capital to air their grievances with being prevented from doing their job in our economy because of a ridiculous, nonsensical, non-evidence-based vaccine mandate being put forward by, I mean, collectively it was Prime Minister Trudeau and the President of the United States, Joe Biden.
00:49:47.580 But Biden arguably just kind of followed suit with whatever Trudeau was doing.
00:49:51.980 And so, you know, how was that inclusive?
00:49:55.200 How was that part of generating robust economic activity and growth?
00:50:00.180 It's just absolutely absurd.
00:50:01.900 And luckily, you have media like ours that calls it out and calls it as we see it.
00:50:06.520 But the Indian, this one Indian news outlet did the exact same.
00:50:12.540 And it's actually really funny to see the kind of coverage that Trudeau gets abroad because he's really the laughingstock of the country.
00:50:20.880 He's a clown on the world stage.
00:50:23.300 There's no denying that.
00:50:25.080 Every time he goes to one of these trips, it's just like a complete national embarrassment for Canadians.
00:50:30.580 So I think this is about a nine-minute clip, but we'll play maybe the first two minutes or so before we go to another ad break.
00:50:40.040 Canadian Prime Minister, he's at, of course, a meeting with Prime Minister Modi.
00:50:44.020 And this is what he's come out and said.
00:50:46.260 Let me quote this.
00:50:48.340 Both the issues came up over the years with PM Modi.
00:50:50.840 We've had many conversations on both those issues.
00:50:52.800 Canada will always defend the freedom of expression, freedom of conscience and freedom of peaceful protest.
00:50:58.360 And it is extremely important to us.
00:51:00.960 At the same time, we are always there to prevent violence and to push back against hatred.
00:51:05.640 I think on the issue of the community, it is important to remember that actions of a few do not represent the entire community or Canada.
00:51:11.580 The flip side of it, we have also highlighted the importance of respecting the rule of law.
00:51:15.220 And we did talk about foreign interference.
00:51:18.180 This is on the issue of Khalistan.
00:51:20.200 So Justin Trudeau, yeah, let's listen in.
00:51:24.220 Then I want to discuss what this fellow says.
00:51:26.780 Over the years with Prime Minister Modi, we've had many conversations on both of those issues.
00:51:35.160 Obviously, Canada will always defend freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, freedom of peaceful protest.
00:51:42.980 That's something that's extremely important to us.
00:51:44.940 At the same time as we're always there to prevent violence, to push back against hatred.
00:51:51.220 I think on the issue of the community, it's important to remember that the actions of the few do not represent the entire community or Canada.
00:52:01.240 On the flip side of it, we also highlighted the importance of respecting the rule of law.
00:52:08.360 And we did talk about foreign interference.
00:52:11.620 Okay, so I'm going to now shed the diplomaties because when something manifestly insane takes place in your face, there's no reason to be polite about it.
00:52:22.580 Justin Trudeau has just shown you the finger when it comes to Khalistan.
00:52:26.500 This man has just come after imposing an emergency in his country to crack down on the freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest.
00:52:37.100 And has just talked about the freedom of expression and the rule of law and the right to protest.
00:52:42.000 Okay.
00:52:42.220 Now, the truth is, Mr. Trudeau, like any good Punjabi, I have family in Canada.
00:52:48.860 And I promise you, the nonsense that you're talking is emanating from sheer hubris.
00:52:56.980 This is a total disconnected view of the world where you think that we don't see what you're up to.
00:53:05.260 We don't understand what you're up to.
00:53:07.480 And you can continue behaving in a totally nonsensical fashion.
00:53:13.160 Talking nonsense.
00:53:14.740 You impose an emergency in your country.
00:53:17.260 Your father imposed an emergency in your country.
00:53:19.760 Your democratic credentials are under deep question.
00:53:24.980 And if Khalistan is a problem, and if a Khalistan is to be created, it is more likely it is going to be created within the territorial boundaries of Canada.
00:53:34.280 And let me add to that.
00:53:36.500 We should become, or at least I will, become the biggest proponent of the independence of Quebec,
00:53:43.480 which has been trying to secede from Canada for the longest period of time.
00:53:49.760 Yeah, all of that kind of aside, the larger issues there of Quebec and so on.
00:53:56.960 I notice, you know, I note here that he says, manifestly insane.
00:54:01.500 I mean, imagine our mainstream media could speak like that over the absolute nonsensical, hypocritical things that Justin Trudeau says and does.
00:54:10.520 Sheer hubris.
00:54:11.760 I mean, repeatedly, I say, sitting up in their ivory towers,
00:54:15.900 completely out of touch with what real everyday Canadians are going through.
00:54:20.640 That's the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:54:22.160 And with a disconnected view of the world.
00:54:24.900 And so that kind of one lens into the other, just sitting up in your ivory tower, being blissfully unaware that anybody's struggling and continuing to push your ridiculous agendas,
00:54:36.680 you know, like climate change and this carbon tax and the idea that taxing everybody to oblivion will somehow cool the earth and capture carbon.
00:54:46.460 And it's just, it is manifestly insane.
00:54:49.200 He's calling it like it is.
00:54:50.520 And I, I am here for it.
00:54:53.000 And, um, if you listen, what I just introduced say,
00:54:57.140 it say the action of the few doesn't represent Canada.
00:55:01.240 Okay.
00:55:01.780 So for you that apply, but when it was a convoy and they had one fly around almost like hundreds of thousands of people,
00:55:13.520 the action of the few begin the action of the total of the person.
00:55:19.340 So there is a double standard right there.
00:55:23.900 Yeah, exactly.
00:55:25.000 Oh, and the hypocrisy.
00:55:26.020 I mean, it's, I'm up to my ears.
00:55:28.720 And at this point, um, you can't even keep track because it seems like there's a new hypocritical thing happening every single day.
00:55:34.960 Um, but I know we said we'd go to an ad break, but I'm just taking note here.
00:55:38.620 I do have an interview lined up shortly after the live stream.
00:55:42.320 Um, so I'm just going to get through this next clip that we have and we'll chat about it before we get into some of our rumble rants.
00:55:49.580 Um, and we'll just skip that ad break because, uh, we're running out of time.
00:55:54.140 And thanks so much for your in-depth analysis, Alexa, about what happened at the conservative convention.
00:55:58.960 Uh, so to, to, to get some more Ontario specific, uh, news worthy hits here, uh, this was Doug Ford.
00:56:08.240 He was in Kitchener over the weekend at Ford Fest and, uh, we caught some clips.
00:56:14.440 Our super producer Efron was on the scene and, uh, he caught a clip here of Ford denouncing how these radical rogue school boards
00:56:25.220 have instituted their own willy-nilly policies to gender-affirm and social transition children
00:56:32.300 without their parents' knowledge and or consent.
00:56:37.220 We're making sure we're making the appropriate changes in education, focusing on what matters.
00:56:45.080 That's math, writing, arithmetic, engineering, making sure they understand the fiscal responsibility.
00:56:51.720 But most important, most important is the parents' rights.
00:56:58.520 The parents' rights to listen and make sure they are informed when their children make a decision.
00:57:06.300 They can't, you know, it's not up to the teachers, it's not up to the school boards to indoctrinate our kids.
00:57:14.140 It's, you know, it's the parents' responsibility to hear what the kids are doing and not the school boards.
00:57:22.600 I can't even figure out what school boards do nowadays, by the way.
00:57:27.660 Yeah, you and me both, Mr. Ford.
00:57:30.180 You and me both.
00:57:31.780 I'm wondering if it would change, like, his mind in, like, two seconds as he did, like, before.
00:57:36.440 Or he's flip-flopping all the time.
00:57:40.760 So I will see in the future if he's not, like, changing his mind on that.
00:57:46.000 Yeah, and how it's actually implemented on the ground, right?
00:57:48.200 You can say all of these things and they sound all good and well as you're spewing it.
00:57:54.540 And this, just to give some context here.
00:57:59.340 And, oh, I don't know what happened.
00:58:00.760 I'm trying to pull up this web page.
00:58:01.900 So I wrote a News Jack, a written piece about this, back in August.
00:58:06.560 But this is in terms of Education Minister, Ontario Education Minister, Stephen Lecce.
00:58:12.380 He has legislated new powers to himself, which, you know, is always kind of a risky thing.
00:58:19.260 I don't agree that heavy-handed legislation should be necessary, but in certain instances,
00:58:24.540 and in terms of these rogue school boards, it may be necessary.
00:58:27.700 But it's called the Better Schools and Student Outcomes Act.
00:58:31.900 And it's supposed to increase transparency and accountability of the school boards.
00:58:37.740 So if you scroll down a little bit on that page, there's a tweet embedded from Stephen Lecce himself.
00:58:43.660 We're following through on our commitment to parents, back to basics in the classroom,
00:58:48.660 accountability on school boards, and empowering the voices of parents, right?
00:58:51.640 Because last year, the last year's school year, we saw parents like Nick Marabito in Ottawa,
00:58:59.420 who was saying, like, any boy who can come in and just all of a sudden arbitrarily decide,
00:59:06.480 I'm a female, I'm a woman, and can use the bathroom with my daughters,
00:59:11.040 this gives me grave safety concerns for my children.
00:59:14.360 And when he was expressing his concerns over this policy and how it could be maybe better
00:59:20.360 applied, or if there was a gender-free washroom, but still the girls' washroom and the boys' washroom
00:59:26.600 that are specific to male and female, and then maybe you have a third option,
00:59:30.780 which I believe the school does have, that one specific to anybody who wants to be gender-fluid
00:59:37.020 or non-binary or whatever it is that they want to identify with, and that could be a changing
00:59:43.340 fluid thing from day to day.
00:59:46.240 And he was actually cut off and silenced by, we know, this radical school trustee, Nellie
00:59:53.620 Kaplan-Murr.
00:59:55.020 And so it's instances like this where parents have legitimate concerns, like pornographic content
01:00:01.600 being found in their school libraries for young grade school children.
01:00:05.620 The surveys that are being instituted by the school boards being put forward in the school
01:00:11.560 system, unbeknownst again to parents without their knowledge, without their consent, when
01:00:15.960 parents raise these concerns, they're labeled far-right misogynist transphobes.
01:00:22.420 And so this, I think, if you read between the lines on some of what the government's putting
01:00:28.060 forward, was a way to try to increase, as they say, the accountability and the transparency
01:00:34.900 and empower the voices of parents to actually be heard and play that role again in their
01:00:39.200 children's education.
01:00:40.680 So we'll see how it actually gets instituted on the ground.
01:00:44.120 What I noticed, just as a parent, this year so far is that there's far less PA days, which
01:00:50.880 I thought was interesting because part of this legislation mandates school boards to share
01:00:56.620 what is on the agenda on PA days.
01:01:00.540 And so there used to be at least one, if not two PA days every month, from what I remember
01:01:05.340 in previous years.
01:01:07.180 And this year, I was looking at the school calendar, and there's maybe one a month, some
01:01:10.380 months there isn't one at all.
01:01:12.520 And so that really stood out to me first and foremost, that school boards are kind of maybe
01:01:16.980 scrambling, going, oh, wait, we have to put forward an agenda.
01:01:21.380 What are we working on this day?
01:01:22.620 And if there's nothing to work on, then we can't take a PA day.
01:01:26.040 So, you know, the school year has just started.
01:01:28.580 We're only the second weekend, but I think we'll start to hear more rumblings and grumblings
01:01:33.080 from parents on either side about what's happening.
01:01:36.780 But we know that the vast majority of Canadian parents, A, have said that the schools are on
01:01:41.320 the wrong track and need a course correction, and B, agree that parents, especially in children
01:01:48.240 under 16, 18, should be informed that their children are trying to socially or otherwise
01:01:55.780 transition at school.
01:01:58.620 So this is definitely a majority thing that parents are taking that sensible approach to.
01:02:05.120 It's just crazy when you think that it goes that far for people to realize that maybe
01:02:15.820 we need to take action.
01:02:17.240 Well, I think that the, I think parents and the population at large are just so consumed
01:02:26.840 by the rat race, right?
01:02:28.120 You work your nine to five, you get home, you, if you're a full-time working parent and your
01:02:32.100 children go to school, there's not a lot of time left at the end of the day to actually
01:02:36.320 parent.
01:02:37.400 And eight, well, first and foremost, that's, that's really sad.
01:02:40.380 But secondly, parents are just so consumed by the rat race that they forget that they still
01:02:45.360 need to have a role in their child's education and get to know the school, get to know the
01:02:50.520 teacher, get to know the principal, ask your children, what are their, what are they learning?
01:02:54.940 What are they teaching you about?
01:02:56.040 If you hear these words, you know, come be on high alert.
01:02:59.560 And that education really starts at home first and foremost.
01:03:02.380 And I think parents have just trusted that the system had their best, their children's best
01:03:07.300 interests at heart, that they were teaching them their, you know, reading, writing, and
01:03:10.460 arithmetic.
01:03:10.940 That's the three R's.
01:03:12.160 That's their traditional curriculum that used to be housed within public schools.
01:03:17.680 And somewhere along the line that has been, took a serious left turn and we, it's time
01:03:24.440 to get a course correct.
01:03:25.240 And parents are only now becoming more and more and increasingly aware that this is happening.
01:03:30.520 And I think that is also due to independent media who are saying, Hey, what is this weird,
01:03:36.660 these weird terms that our kids are learning about?
01:03:38.720 And why are these graphic novels depicting sexual acts and, and other things that are,
01:03:44.300 you know, grotesque and inappropriate?
01:03:46.360 Why are they coming to our school system?
01:03:48.420 Why is a drag queen coming to read our kindergartners stories in the library?
01:03:52.820 Like what happens to the librarian?
01:03:54.460 And so I think that that, that highlights the importance of independent media and, and the
01:04:02.340 ability to, to, again, think critically and ask those questions without being gaslit or
01:04:08.640 disregarded because then no one, no one wins then when we just have one idea at the arena
01:04:16.680 of ideas.
01:04:17.360 So, uh, we have a couple of rumble rants that we'll get to before we wrap up the stream.
01:04:24.620 Thank you to Fraser McBurney for your contribution.
01:04:27.400 It's been over a month and the government still has not told the truth about the over 325 children
01:04:32.140 who are missing from the Maui fire and why the school buses were missing on the day of the fire.
01:04:38.020 Alexa, you were there in Maui.
01:04:39.340 Um, can you speak to that at all?
01:04:41.540 Um, but of course, like they didn't say like how many children was found dead.
01:04:48.860 Um, the, also there is like a problem with the DNA because a burning body is a burning
01:04:57.440 body.
01:04:58.020 Sometimes like it takes times to know who is the person.
01:05:02.680 Um, I think a lot of people wants to know like how many children, um, are in the, um,
01:05:09.040 victim because we know that it was supposed to be the first day of school and the school
01:05:15.160 was canceled.
01:05:16.020 A lot of those kids were supposed to be not at home, but a lot of them were at home without
01:05:24.840 network, without any signal to warn them to leave the home.
01:05:31.360 Either the parents were not capable to reach out to them to say, to evacuate.
01:05:35.920 So a lot of people, not only on the ground, but a lot of people think that on the victim
01:05:42.880 will be a lot, a lot of children and the, the school bus.
01:05:48.380 Um, I don't know about that, but there was no school that day.
01:05:52.300 So probably there was no school bus either.
01:05:55.220 So, um, school was closed, was closed because the wind was too strong because there were not,
01:06:02.100 no electricity, no power.
01:06:03.540 So I don't think when the focus should be on the school bus, but mostly that we know,
01:06:11.500 wants to know how many children are on the victim.
01:06:16.740 And of course, how to prevent such a devastating tragedy from happening again.
01:06:22.680 Um, which is pretty clear to me that it would be to have sounded the alarm.
01:06:26.000 Uh, that just makes no sense that the authorities decided, oh, well, if people, if we sound the
01:06:31.560 alarm, people will run for the hills, which is where the fire is coming from.
01:06:34.360 I think that at that point you can see for yourself, oh, wow, there's massive fires blowing
01:06:40.140 our way.
01:06:40.700 We better not run directly into it.
01:06:42.920 Um, I think, uh, it's a reoccurring theme that our officials think that we're dumb and don't
01:06:49.340 have the capability to think for ourselves and think critically and manage a situation.
01:06:54.940 Um, and that's really sad because there was a lot of lives lost needlessly in that tragedy.
01:07:00.480 Um, it's even worse when you think that because of the wind and because the, the Hawaiian electric
01:07:07.360 that didn't like spend money to keep their infrastructure and their power line adequate,
01:07:13.400 all, a lot of those power lines fall on the ground, on the main road, stopping people to
01:07:21.180 evacuate the town because the police, they had as order to not let pass car on power line
01:07:29.180 because this is dangerous for electrification.
01:07:31.820 So they were sending back people directly where the fire was.
01:07:36.960 So people were kind of trapped in that town.
01:07:41.100 And unfortunately, a lot of people die in their car.
01:07:44.620 And this is like really heartbreaking when you think that nobody told them like, just run
01:07:50.920 in like into the field, run into like the property of someone to just escape and save your
01:07:56.300 life.
01:07:56.700 Yeah, it's really, really sad.
01:08:01.360 I'm just looking at the second rumble rant here, uh, or Risia, I think I pronounced that
01:08:07.040 correctly, gives $10.
01:08:08.380 The current Canadian flag is the same color as China, the liberal party and blood question
01:08:13.300 mark time for an update to the Canadian flag.
01:08:17.380 Again, five or six flags before to reflect a coast to coast flag.
01:08:22.800 Um, yeah, that's interesting.
01:08:24.780 I was, I'm actually just looking up, uh, the, the flags of British North America, um, the
01:08:31.680 historic flags.
01:08:32.460 I mean, all of them mostly have incorporated some sort of red.
01:08:37.460 Uh, I guess the very first flag was mostly blue, but you know, you can find symbolism in
01:08:43.260 quite literally everything.
01:08:46.120 Um, and so I, you know, I don't think there will be ever a time that everyone will be happy
01:08:51.080 with, with one specific thing.
01:08:53.080 And I don't know that the, that should be a priority right now is to update the Canadian
01:08:57.300 flag, especially in light of, you know, you had those, uh, those hysterical liberals and
01:09:04.380 hysterical citizens, low information citizens of Ottawa who are saying, oh, the Canadian flag
01:09:08.920 is now tainted for me because of the freedom convoy.
01:09:12.540 And how dare they use this flag and this way to protest peacefully at our nation's Capitol.
01:09:18.240 Um, and so some people are really like slighted by this use of the Canadian flag.
01:09:25.080 And I think would probably love to see it updated.
01:09:27.520 I don't know that that's a good use of resources or taxpayer dollars at this point, but you know,
01:09:32.000 the liberals just re-envisioned and re-imagined and redesigned the passport.
01:09:36.420 So then again, I wouldn't put it past them.
01:09:39.540 Um, I don't personally think that that's, that's a priority, but, uh, yeah, red does have
01:09:45.700 connotations with, I guess, China, the liberal party, and certainly blood, um, whether or not
01:09:53.420 that's worthwhile to redesign a flag over.
01:09:56.540 I don't know.
01:09:57.300 What do you think, Alexa?
01:09:58.660 But first of all, while Quebec is blue, it's because we represent the French and we represent
01:10:05.040 like the fleur-de-lis, but if the Canadian flag is red, it's because it's represent the roses
01:10:11.820 because we, the, the, um, the English came and they win.
01:10:17.160 So they represent the red.
01:10:18.820 So I don't think there is like nothing to change on our flag.
01:10:23.160 I think, um, uh, maybe some people doesn't like it.
01:10:27.540 Maybe it's red.
01:10:28.900 Like China is red too.
01:10:30.120 But I think, uh, that it's a part of our culture and, uh, and changing it will erase
01:10:36.220 a part of our culture as walk one.
01:10:39.060 They want to erase a part of us, a part of our history, a part of our culture as what
01:10:45.800 Justin Trudeau did with the Canadian passport, erasing some important, um, monument to put
01:10:52.760 like picture of himself or picture of like, uh, snowballs.
01:10:57.140 So, um, I think, I think right now what we need to do, it's preserve what we have, preserve
01:11:03.160 our history, our heritage, and make sure that we always remember, always remember what he
01:11:11.720 did though.
01:11:13.500 That's right.
01:11:14.120 And I think the Canadian flag, the reason why it uses red, um, and maybe someone in the
01:11:18.080 chats could let me know if I'm wrong, but it's because of the red maple.
01:11:20.920 Um, that's, that's our, our national symbol is that, that Canadian maple.
01:11:28.640 Um, so, so yeah, that's, thanks for your comment.
01:11:31.480 Uh, that's interesting.
01:11:33.040 And I'm on the, uh, uh, government of Canada website.
01:11:36.060 Yeah.
01:11:36.160 You can see we pulled up one of the, there's posters here actually that you can order, which
01:11:39.740 are kind of fun.
01:11:40.700 And if you're a nerd, like I am, uh, I would totally have one of these things in my office.
01:11:47.060 Maybe you'll see one behind me here soon.
01:11:48.760 Um, but there's all these different flags, flags of British North America, the provinces,
01:11:52.160 the territories, um, you can scroll through and then you can click on the links there
01:11:55.920 to get the poster, um, and pull it up, but there's historical flags.
01:11:59.940 And so it's kind of cool to look back on, you know, maybe you learned this at some point
01:12:04.220 in your life and then forgot about it like me, but, uh, yeah, it's definitely worth, worth
01:12:08.620 noting and maybe looking into further.
01:12:11.800 So with that, we're about 11 minutes past the hour.
01:12:14.700 And if there's no other rumble rants, then we'll wrap this up.
