Transcript
00:00:00.000
Oh, good afternoon. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Rebel News Daily Roundup.
00:00:19.840
I'm your host today, filling in for regular host David Menzies, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and
00:00:25.320
I'm joined by my co-host in Quebec, Alexa Lavoie.
00:00:28.900
Alexa, how's it going? You look great today, by the way.
00:00:32.040
Thank you. It's probably because it's so cold here, so it's probably like why I look like fresh.
00:00:40.620
Yeah. And what about you? Is it cold on your side?
00:00:47.260
No, it's warm. It's warm for once. It's good. It's like 24 degrees and sunny, and I'm confined to
00:00:53.220
my little dungeon in the basement here where I work all day. But we should tell everybody what
00:00:58.440
we're doing. The show is jam-packed. There's no possible way that we're going to get to
00:01:01.960
everything today. But as I said, this is the Rebel News Daily Roundup. It's normally hosted
00:01:06.600
by my friend David Menzies, but we are undergoing some studio construction, and so we're using
00:01:12.980
remote hosts for a couple of days this week, too. We thought things would be resolved by
00:01:17.240
last week, but they're not. But the show must go on. And on the roundup, we talk about the
00:01:23.540
day's news completely unscripted. It's a great chance for us as Rebels to interact with each
00:01:28.940
other. So I get to talk to Alexa about the news of the day, which is great because it
00:01:32.720
gives us perspectives from different journalists from other sides of the country. But it also
00:01:37.860
allows you to not only interact with your fellow Rebels, fellow Rebel watchers, in the live chat,
00:01:45.060
either on YouTube or Rumble, but it allows you to support the work that we do out of complete
00:01:51.520
free will, which is completely different than what Justin Trudeau does with the mainstream media. So
00:01:56.340
if you are watching us on Rumble, you can leave us a paid chat called A Rumble Rant. On Odyssey,
00:02:02.000
it's called A Hyper Chat. And if you leave us one of those, we'll do our best to read those towards
00:02:07.180
the end of the show. I know some of our other hosts read them sort of as they come in, but I
00:02:11.240
like to keep you around to the end. So if you want to leave us one of those, it supports the work that
00:02:15.300
we do. It democratizes the show. You can have your say. And it's a great way to support the little
00:02:22.360
network that could. Is my lipstick smeared? Yes, it was. It was a big hectic rush to get on air today.
00:02:30.860
Um, we should talk about this thing that Daniel Smith talked about over the weekend. Now, David
00:02:38.560
Menzies always mentions what, what day it is, you know, like, is it national donut day or national
00:02:46.460
bring your dog to work day? Well, uh, in Alberta, uh, on a more serious note, despite what the people
00:02:54.980
in Hollywood and the left will tell you, uh, we recognize here in Alberta, that human trafficking
00:03:00.260
is, it is a catastrophe. It God's children are not for sale as they say. And it is world day against
00:03:08.540
trafficking in persons. And, um, our government is very focused on freeing people from the, uh,
00:03:17.600
confines of human slavery, sex slavery. Um, it's usually marginalized women who are drawn into this
00:03:26.580
or who are taken into this, uh, the people to left say they care about, right. Um, but they have to
00:03:33.480
not acknowledge the problem because to not acknowledge the problem means that you don't
00:03:38.160
have to acknowledge that some of your friends are involved in it. So, um, our, uh, our government
00:03:44.160
is taking a firm stance against human trafficking. And, uh, unlike the progressives of the world,
00:03:49.780
we say it's a real thing. And imagine like how much we can progress in this horrible thing. If all
00:03:58.800
government around the world would have done the same as a statement and just take accountability for
00:04:05.160
the people who are doing human trafficking, like instead of just censoring, uh, a movie,
00:04:12.800
and, and, and, and, and, and saying to people, do not go in and see it when this exists, it's reality.
00:04:21.760
And the progress that we can make, if like everybody was doing the same as Daniel Smith.
00:04:28.540
Well, and for the left, they have to acknowledge that the things that they want to ignore or make
00:04:36.260
legal are fueling human trafficking. So they want to completely make prostitution in all
00:04:42.780
of its forms legal. That fuels human trafficking. You know, if you don't have a, if you don't have
00:04:48.680
a point of police intervention, um, then you don't, you're unable to intervene to help these women who
00:04:56.060
have been taken into sex slavery. Um, and a lot of it is fueled by drugs and the gangs that, um,
00:05:02.760
operate, um, using drugs as their currency or their economy. Um, and the left just wants to
00:05:09.760
completely legalize that again, no point of police contact to rescue people from sex slavery. If all
00:05:15.780
the things that, uh, fuel, uh, human trafficking are all of a sudden legal.
00:05:21.440
And especially like trying to normalize the minor attract, uh, attractive person. So for me,
00:05:29.160
this is just like another thing that will just put some fire on that big, huge problem.
00:05:35.980
Yeah. Yeah. I read somewhere and I've seen Glenn Beck give this statistic before that there are more
00:05:41.480
people in slavery in any number of its forms, whether it's indentured servitude. Um, if it is,
00:05:50.100
uh, foreign workers who come to places like Saudi Arabia, and then they have their passports taken
00:05:56.120
and they can't leave or sex slavery. Um, there are more people in slavery at this moment on the face of
00:06:03.740
the earth than any other time in human history combined. Um, and so it's a real problem that
00:06:09.940
the left just does not want to acknowledge. And I think it is because they don't really believe in
00:06:14.460
the dignity and the value of the person. I'm not really surprised. Um, moving on from that somber
00:06:23.180
note, although I'm proud to say that Alberta is acknowledging it in our, our premier seems to be
00:06:27.420
a woman with her, um, eye towards helping the vulnerable, both in her drug policy, but also,
00:06:33.380
uh, uh, her focus on human trafficking. Um, we should move into the more ridiculous things,
00:06:39.860
lighten up the show a little bit. Um, let's talk about climate change because, uh, I've lived through,
00:06:47.680
I've lived through several, uh, climate doomsdays and here I am on the other side. Uh, they predict,
00:06:55.620
predicted no Arctic ice several times, um, snowless winters. I don't threaten me with a good time.
00:07:05.000
I hope so. Uh, throw another tire on the fire if it means no more snow in the winter one year. Um,
00:07:13.640
but that never materializes. And yet they still think that I'm supposed to care about their flood
00:07:18.020
climate modeling. Uh, we've got, um, nuclear Armageddon and climate change declared as the
00:07:25.280
biggest threats to Canadian security reports. According to an April 26 briefing note, Canada
00:07:30.880
has only 300 full-time military personnel in the North located across Whitehorse, Yellowknife,
00:07:37.600
and Iqaluit. Uh, I'm sure there are a few intermittently stationed, um, at Alert, uh, Alert
00:07:45.360
is a, a base there. That's a NORAD monitoring site. Um, they really should be monitoring for the
00:07:52.300
Russians, but, um, I bet mostly they just do Santa tracking up there at this point, uh, because of
00:08:01.080
Justin Trudeau's extreme neglect of the military. But yeah, if we seriously think that nuclear,
00:08:08.680
uh, war is a threat to us, why don't we have enough people monitoring where the nuclear weapons are going
00:08:15.540
to come at us? Cause that's why those bases exist up there. And the, the most hilarious part on this,
00:08:22.380
um, article is like, we are spending a lot of money to rebuild, um, a lending, uh, test for like the
00:08:30.920
flight in the North that's for protect the security of the nation against China and Russia. When we
00:08:39.360
actually fill the fight between Ukraine and Russia to help Ukraine to have more heart, like weapon,
00:08:49.140
more money to fight against them. And fun fact, we send them 406 million in air defense in Ukraine.
00:08:57.940
When we don't, we do not have that year for protect ourselves. You know, and I'm not someone who's
00:09:06.380
against military spending. Like I'm not, I'm not against, uh, fueling the war machine. Oh, my glasses
00:09:14.080
are, I have a headache, but my glasses are chroma keying and it's probably weird for the viewer. Um,
00:09:20.060
but, um, you know, like I'm not against military spending on the Canadian military. Um, but I have a
00:09:28.240
real tough time with dumping a pile of money on Ukraine when our soldiers are buying their own, uh,
00:09:35.400
body armor. They're buying their own helmets. They're buying their own food. Sometimes on deployment,
00:09:39.640
they are sharing sleeping bags. Um, we up until just now, Justin Trudeau decided the F 35 was a
00:09:47.460
good idea when he mocked Stephen Harper for trying to buy the F 35, um, 10 years ago. But now all of a
00:09:55.360
sudden, Justin Trudeau thinks we're hard of remembering about how he mocked, uh, the F 35 back
00:10:01.340
then. And now we have to pay more for the F 35 because we didn't get in on the procurement with
00:10:06.440
our military allies. Then, uh, I've seen the F 35 in Israel. The thing is amazing. Um, but instead,
00:10:13.520
Justin Trudeau bought these decommissioned Aussie, um, AF 18s, um, that were headed for the scrap heap
00:10:21.000
and sent them to cold Lake to recommission them. Um, but just through wasting money all over the place.
00:10:28.700
And so when we say we're building, rebuilding air force bases in the North, perfect. I'm happy about
00:10:35.760
that. Um, it's nice to see an air force base get built in Canada or repaired in Canada or, uh,
00:10:43.380
military infrastructure get repaired in Canada, as opposed to just throwing money at Ukraine to build
00:10:49.180
their own military infrastructure. But I've got a real problem with the fact that we don't,
00:10:53.060
we probably, um, won't have a force to, um, man this, uh, newly repaired military infrastructure
00:11:01.320
because of COVID mandates and, uh, just demoralization in the CAF. Uh, there's been a
00:11:11.360
mass exodus from the force. Now, whether that's because they were forced out because of vaccine
00:11:15.900
mandates, because they didn't want to be part of a force that would enforce vaccine mandates,
00:11:20.180
or they have a low toleration for the absolute wokeness infecting, uh, the CAF brass, not the
00:11:27.520
people who are, um, you know, like your, your regular soldiers, but I'm talking about the brass,
00:11:32.780
the guys at the top. Um, it's just not a force that anybody, it's a volunteer force. We don't
00:11:38.180
have conscription. So you need to be something that compels people to enlist and they just are
00:11:44.620
not that anymore. Yeah. But in this, yeah, I, I understand your point when we say that, yes,
00:11:52.460
we need to, to spend more to protect this, the security and to rebuild the base air force. But
00:12:01.080
in the same time, we need to think about the fact that Canadians usually fight for peace and not like
00:12:08.080
fuel a fight that is already happening instead of like maybe working and saying like, maybe we can
00:12:14.140
just help to reach like level of peace, like instead of like sending million of million to
00:12:23.360
billion of dollars to Ukraine when we don't even know what they are doing with our money.
00:12:29.180
Right. I, I, I, I, I'm, we're 100% on the same page, rebuild military infrastructure here,
00:12:36.060
make the force something that people want to serve in. Cause right now it's not that, um, and quit
00:12:41.920
fueling the war efforts in other countries, because, um, if your greatest fear is nuclear war,
00:12:48.440
then why are you pushing the world closer and closer to it, uh, by, you know, being involved
00:12:55.220
secondhand in a conflict that really Canada has no interest in. Exactly. Um, it's still on the issue
00:13:05.140
of climate change. Uh, because apparently, you know, I guess we're rebuilding the military bases
00:13:11.380
to monitor for climate change up there. Um, Chrissy Freeland claims that not how, Oh, this is rich.
00:13:17.560
This lady, I've got a video, I'm doing a video about her today. Um, but it'd probably be out tomorrow
00:13:22.820
or the next day. Um, I just noticed something about her clothing and I know that it's, it's petty,
00:13:28.980
but it's something that the other media talk about with all the other politicians. So I've got my own
00:13:34.620
particular viewpoint on this, but anyways, she mostly always wear like red. So she did always look like
00:13:43.180
a, the red apple of Canada. Oh yeah. She's wearing liberal red. Like if you notice the conservatives
00:13:49.900
will wear a lot of blue, the NDP were a lot of orange, but she has these same five, I think five
00:13:56.420
shift dresses that she, they're the exact same ones. They're equally all unflattering. Uh, nobody
00:14:03.360
around her likes her enough to tell her, stop this. Um, but that's not even what my video is about,
00:14:07.960
but I noticed something else about what she wears. Um, we'll talk about it later. I don't want to give
00:14:15.760
the video away. People will have to watch, but, uh, Freeland claims that, um, if you are considering
00:14:21.460
visiting Canada and the beauty of Canada, um, you probably, you might not because, um, I guess
00:14:31.080
because we don't have a climate plan. What is she talking about? They've been taxing us, uh, for
00:14:38.440
several years. Um, if people don't come to visit Canada, it might have something to do with the fact
00:14:43.700
that this is a very expensive place to visit. If you are trying to stretch your tourism dollars,
00:14:48.260
like, I'm surprised, like, I'm surprised people come here are like, it's very expensive place to
00:14:55.040
visit. It's a very expensive place to live, but I can't imagine that a Japanese tourist who is
00:15:00.820
obsessed with Anne of Green Gables. Did you know that's a thing? They're, they're very obsessed with
00:15:04.900
Anne of Green Gables. Anne of Green Gables is like a big thing in Japan. And so they love to go visit
00:15:11.600
where, uh, Lucy Maude Montgomery wrote Anne of Green Gables. They, they love the idea of like walking in
00:15:17.720
those footsteps. It's a huge thing. Um, but, uh, I can't imagine that a Japanese tourist who's going
00:15:25.080
to fly all the way over here to like experience the Anne of Green Gables universe firsthand is going
00:15:31.220
to be like, Oh, they didn't raise the carbon tax high enough. It totally can't go now. Like it's
00:15:37.900
just so stupid, but that's the argument she's making. Let's roll this clip.
00:15:40.920
I have to say failure to have a climate plan is actually the death knell for the Canadian economy.
00:15:52.020
People will not want to buy the stuff we make in Canada. If we are not making it in a green way,
00:15:59.360
people will not want to visit our country. If they do not see that we are energetically embracing the
00:16:07.320
green transition. They'll go to places that are embracing that. So I really believe very,
00:16:14.520
very strongly that our green policy is an economic growth policy. I have to say.
00:16:23.860
What a stupid claim. Like seriously, for someone who did travel to so many countries, I can affirm you
00:16:31.460
that people doesn't care about like the cream, like energy. And if you are doing step forwards or not,
00:16:37.660
people wants to travel. They wants to visit. They wants to experience other culture and other like
00:16:44.660
feeling and food. They don't care about like, if you are using green or not green, because anyway,
00:16:51.120
they are taking a flight for coming there. So anyway, all the travel to go there will pollute anyway.
00:16:58.500
So for the green transition, we, I don't like, seriously, this is just a stupid claim.
00:17:06.020
I just pulled up the Wikipedia and take that for what you will, world tourism rankings. Canada is not
00:17:12.100
even in the top 10 and they've been taxing me. They've been taxing me and taxing me and taxing me
00:17:18.800
for years. So France is number one. Spain is number two. I'm not sure Spain has a climate tax,
00:17:24.880
but number three is the United States. And they definitely don't have a nationwide carbon tax.
00:17:30.840
Turkey, I'm sure does not have one. Italy, if they have one, their beautiful new prime minister
00:17:36.820
is going to turf that. Mexico definitely doesn't. So I'm sorry, but just even the statistics don't play
00:17:46.700
out that having these green taxes on people, by the way, making travel to those countries even more
00:17:54.520
expensive. It doesn't encourage people to come there. Like what, if you were a tourist and you
00:18:02.260
were saying, okay, well, I only have this much to spend on my vacation and I would need to make this
00:18:09.620
much money go as far as possible. It's no wonder Mexico's on the list. Your dollar goes pretty far
00:18:15.900
there. You know, like if you're going to a place with a carbon tax, it's like going to a place with
00:18:21.720
a VAT or a sales tax. Your money doesn't go as far. And that's a lot, something that a lot of people
00:18:28.340
factor into going on vacation. But also this idea that people won't come here if we're not green
00:18:34.900
manufacturing. Really? Do people actually care about green manufacturing? Everything we buy is
00:18:41.400
made in China and nobody seems to care. I think one of the world's largest fashion retailers is
00:18:46.320
Sheen or Shine or however you say it. And that's just basically single use, double use fashion that
00:18:55.600
you wear, you wash, it falls apart and people buy it, buy something else the next time. Nobody cares
00:19:01.100
about where stuff is made anymore. But it's interesting to see Christopher Freeland use this
00:19:08.580
idea that maybe we should be a place of ethical manufacturing, because I do believe that. And I do
00:19:16.560
believe that specifically about our oil and gas. You know, yeah, I would love everybody to have a
00:19:22.440
sticker on the pump that says this, this is Canadian oil, or this is Algerian oil, or this is Saudi Arabian
00:19:27.800
oil, so that they can make those decisions. Maybe people, maybe people might care. Freeland thinks
00:19:33.440
they do. So let's find out. We do that with the maple syrup. Why not with our oil and gas?
00:19:40.440
Yeah. Yeah. And, and the thing is, like, we enter in the new era, where most of the people are,
00:19:47.320
like, struggle with inflation, not everywhere around the world, but a lot of, like the G7 country,
00:19:54.260
for example, like a lot of them have like the inflation, uh, as us, those people, they, they want
00:20:01.840
to keep travel, same if they are struggling in their daily life. So do you think really that they
00:20:09.920
will say, why not going to Canada? I would like go not very long time because it's too expensive,
00:20:17.160
but at least they have green energy. Yeah. No, nobody cares. Nobody's like, Oh, I wanted to go
00:20:25.240
stay in Canada, but I heard that the hotel, uh, uses coal-fired electricity. So I definitely can't
00:20:30.920
go there. Like, it's just the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And it is like, it's so clear, but Freeland
00:20:37.200
is so out of touch with normal people. I'm convinced she doesn't know any normal people. And, uh, this next
00:20:45.360
story will, uh, bolster my arguments here. So Freeland, do we have that video of Freeland complaining
00:20:53.040
about, or saying like, Oh, I, I don't need a car. Olivia, do we have that? Do we show that? Can we?
00:21:03.620
I don't know, but I remember Disney plus, the Disney plus subscription.
00:21:07.980
Yeah. Okay. So Freeland whose economic acumen should frighten us all considering that she's
00:21:15.240
the finance minister. She, uh, basically burned an entire section of Reuters to the ground
00:21:20.560
with her finance by ignoring financial advice. It's a department of Reuters you'll never hear
00:21:25.980
about because it no longer exists because they had the misfortune of putting Chrystia Freeland in
00:21:30.140
charge of it before she entered politics. It was called Reuters next. And her mismanagement
00:21:35.660
destroyed that entire section of the company. And then, uh, when she moved to Toronto,
00:21:41.800
she had to get her parents to co-sign her mortgage as a woman in her forties. Now I get it. It's
00:21:48.600
expensive to live in Toronto. And so maybe she didn't need her parents to help her co-sign there.
00:21:54.220
However, Freeland as finance minister has done nothing to make life in Canada more affordable
00:21:59.920
as she for people seeking mortgages. Um, and you know, she also said to cancel your Disney plus
00:22:08.120
subscription if you can't afford food. So, um, she's absolutely, uh, completely out of touch with
00:22:17.200
normal people. And, um, I'm not sure we need to play the Disney plus clip. I don't know if you found
00:22:25.240
the clip, Olivia, from the other day where she's talking about, um, how she doesn't need a car.
00:22:30.060
And so the rest of us who live in one of the world's least populated countries, we don't need
00:22:36.520
cars either. Um, we should all just live in downtown Toronto, I guess, uh, within walking distance from
00:22:41.500
a subway. Do we have that clip? Here we go. This is, I mean, it's like, she's a space alien.
00:22:50.240
This is never, ever met a normal person. Roll this.
00:23:01.060
...increase in gas, diesel, and oil this morning between six and eight cents per liter.
00:23:08.040
Okay. Um, well, I have been talking about that with Heath and Sean. Heath and Sean and I had
00:23:16.560
One of the key industries here on Prince Edward Island in particular is our tourist industry.
00:23:19.880
And particular to that, our car tourist industry, people traveling from our region to this island
00:23:26.000
to be tourists with policies like the carbon tax and the clean fuel standards, which are
00:23:31.260
by design meant to reduce consumption of fuel and reduce, are you worried that's going to
00:23:36.480
have a chilling effect on one of the key industries here on Prince Edward Island?
00:23:43.380
And actually, um, uh, with a couple of my colleagues, we drove here last night from Halifax.
00:23:56.760
We believe in the tourism industry and we believe in the PEI economy overall.
00:24:02.880
Um, today's announcement was about all of that. You guys are nice.
00:24:10.140
I did want to say one more thing, though. I don't need you to retread the ground you've
00:24:14.260
gone over because you've answered this question on the other side, but you are facing a lot
00:24:17.800
of pushback in this region in particular from local politicians, local provincial governments
00:24:22.460
that say this, they're not opposed to it, but it's coming too soon, too fast. They need
00:24:29.340
You know what? I say, I do really understand. Um, I really understand the challenges. A fact
00:24:39.060
that still shocks my dad is I don't actually own a car because I live in downtown Toronto.
00:24:45.580
I'm like, I don't know, 300 meters from the nearest subway. Um, I walk, I take the subway and
00:24:53.760
make my kids walk and ride their bikes and take the subway. It's actually healthier for our
00:24:58.200
family. I can live that way. I can live that way. Okay, great.
00:25:07.360
I like the music in the background. I don't know who did that, but it's just like,
00:25:14.480
But I, I really want to do a poll. Who, who hate more, the more, who, who the people hate
00:25:26.080
Well, like the woman is completely out of touch. It shocks her dad that she doesn't own a car.
00:25:32.800
Yeah. Uh, why? Because she has a car. She just doesn't have to own it. The taxpayer pays for it.
00:25:41.920
She has a chauffeur driven executive town car that she gets to pick her up and cart her around
00:25:49.420
everywhere. And even worse, I, one time went and I pulled all of her flight records and I matched
00:25:56.620
them up with her chauffeur records. And I don't know why I did this, but I could see that she was
00:26:03.020
flying to Montreal and she was sending her chauffeur in the car ahead on the ground to Montreal. So
00:26:12.300
driving all the way to Montreal and picking her up at the airport. What? Yeah. Yes. It's even the
00:26:19.520
worst. It's like double pollution for nothing. For nothing. So that, because I guess, cause she
00:26:25.600
doesn't have a car. She doesn't care. So like when she was flying from Ottawa, she would have the
00:26:29.280
chauffeur pick her up when she was flying from Ottawa to Toronto. The chauffeur would fly ahead
00:26:34.640
of her plane or drive ahead of her plane to pick her up. And so she's going to lecture me about how
00:26:40.640
I don't need to own a car because she lives 300 feet from a subway station. I live like 45 minutes
00:26:48.260
from town. Is she crazy? It's not. Everybody lives in downtown Toronto. I'm sorry. As I pointed out,
00:26:56.980
this is one of the least densely populated places on the face of the earth. And we all can't live like
00:27:02.580
Freeland walking to a subway or having the taxpayer pay for her chauffeur driven limo. By the way,
00:27:09.980
thanks to her government's bail policies to use the subway system in Edmonton, you're taking your life
00:27:16.380
in your hands. So I'm glad she feels safe. I doubt that she's actually using the subway system in
00:27:22.000
Toronto because I've seen that she has the chauffeur drive her around. And I'm thinking
00:27:28.400
about, you know, where I am right now. I'm about 20 minutes for the closest bus that actually run
00:27:35.540
every hour, like one per hour. So I'm sorry, but if someone live around here where I am, good luck for
00:27:45.440
reaching downtown in a decent lap of time, because what you expect that people will walk 20 minutes,
00:27:53.840
about 20 minutes of driving. So it's about two hours walk to get the bus and reaching downtown
00:28:02.840
afterwards. She's crazy or what? Yeah, I think she is. And she should know better because her dad was a
00:28:09.920
farmer in northern Alberta. But I live on gravel, like, like a real tough time listening to this lady
00:28:16.900
tell me just go to the subway station and get all your work done. And by the way, like, I, I try to
00:28:24.600
be as economical with my travel as possible because Freeland makes life very expensive. But even even if I
00:28:31.520
lived somewhere where I could take the bus to town, which is crazy. How the heck am I going to get
00:28:38.740
the $400 worth of groceries I bought yesterday back home on the bus? You know, don't go to Costco.
00:28:47.640
I can't walk past a Costco and $400 just jumps out of my wallet and it's gone forever. But you know,
00:28:54.080
like, I try to do my grocery trips like at the end of the week on Sundays, fill up the house for the
00:29:00.480
kids. So I'm not running around all the time. And it costs a lot more than it ever did. But I'm still
00:29:05.700
bringing a trunk full of jeep's trunk full of groceries into the house on Sundays. How am I
00:29:11.400
supposed to do that on the bus? I just can't run up to the store and get the milk around the corner.
00:29:17.040
It's a 40 minute round trip for me to go up to the store to get a milk.
00:29:22.220
Like, I did live the life like I got my first car recently, like this year and last year,
00:29:29.260
actually, I never owned a car before was using my bike, public transit buses. But I was living
00:29:37.240
downtown. And I can tell you, it was a pain on the ass. Because every time I was going to the
00:29:44.380
grocery, I was like suffering with all like my bag. And I'm just alone. I doesn't have any kids.
00:29:51.120
And I was like, okay, if this is actually a pain for me, I don't like the like, all a mother who
00:29:58.780
have like, maybe two or three children who needs to do that, like two times a week on this is
00:30:05.900
unbelievable. Like if she think that everybody can do that, because it's already like, really
00:30:13.440
difficult to do. And you need to be really set mind to do that. Or have a taxpayer driven chauffeur
00:30:23.340
chauffeur limousine. I mean, that that makes it a lot easier to not own. Oh, yeah, I don't even I
00:30:28.820
don't even own a car. No, I own your car. Actually, we all do. We should move ahead, though. Because
00:30:36.520
not only does Freeland not own a car, I've noticed and I've pulled the records on this,
00:30:42.300
a lot of the executive vehicles. So not only do we give them these chauffeur driven executive town
00:30:53.120
cars or limos or suburbans, a lot of times it's suburbans. But we also a lot of times provide them
00:31:01.200
with a vehicle like, I think free. No, Catherine McKenna, she drove a Subaru, I think that we paid
00:31:11.420
for if I recall correctly, was not an EV, by the way, they don't buy EVs for themselves. They just
00:31:17.280
want the rest of us to buy them. But despite all that, and if you ask them, why don't you drive an
00:31:24.620
EV? They say, well, because they're unreliable in Canadian conditions. And I'm like, yes, I know.
00:31:30.600
I know. That's why I need to drive my gas powered or diesel powered vehicle.
00:31:34.700
Despite the fact that the government wants to phase them out in seven short years. Despite all
00:31:41.620
this, the feds are pondering more electric vehicle rebates. So once again, Canada continues to pay
00:31:49.260
for the novelty vehicles, the second and third vehicles of rich people by subsidizing them. These
00:31:58.360
are already vehicles that are heavily subsidized, both in the manufacturing aspect, but also at the
00:32:05.420
retail side. And they also get preferential treatment on the roads, which I dislike immensely
00:32:12.620
that they have their own lane in Ontario. We don't have that in Alberta. I guess we don't have enough
00:32:18.040
EVs for it to make sense. But I just don't think you should be like the transportation elite because
00:32:23.700
you spent too much money on a car that you can only drive for four months of the year.
00:32:28.020
But now they want to give rich people more money to buy EVs because apparently you can't inspire
00:32:34.500
people to buy these unreliable cars on their own. So you have to basically throw money at people.
00:32:40.660
But you're right. Like they cost already so much money to buy one new that, okay, if you give them
00:32:48.800
like example, 5,000 back, it's only rich people will be able to afford it. So you actually give
00:32:55.660
a rebate to rich people who don't need the rebate instead of maybe lower the carbon tax for the normal
00:33:04.680
people who cannot afford your electric vehicle because anyway, same if you offer a rebate, they
00:33:12.480
Yeah. Well, and it does, again, it's just completely, it's like Freeland again, doesn't acknowledge the
00:33:17.240
reality of living somewhere outside of downtown Toronto. I need a vehicle with a lot of range.
00:33:22.540
I'm in and out of Calgary a couple of times a week. Sometimes it's a eight hour round trip for me.
00:33:28.580
In Alberta, sometimes our commutes in the oil patch are five hours one way. You know, if you're going up
00:33:34.800
to work in Fort McMurray from Edmonton, or you're going to work in Saskatchewan or, you know, on the
00:33:40.080
eastern slopes to work in the oil patch, you need a vehicle with not, not only a vehicle that can
00:33:49.340
stand our weather, go off the highway on a, you know, a forestry road or a lease road, but you need
00:33:58.200
something with range and EVs don't have range. Like they just don't. And, you know, with our major
00:34:04.240
cities being at least three hours apart from each other, that doesn't make any sense. I don't want to
00:34:09.500
factor in having to stop in Red Deer and recharge my vehicle for a couple of hours before I can
00:34:14.840
continue on the road to Calgary. Uh, but that's the life these people want us to live. And they're
00:34:19.940
trying to pay me to do it. And I just won't, I refuse. They'll pry my gas powered or diesel
00:34:26.740
powered vehicle from my cold dead hands. I just won't have it. I will fix my vehicle until it falls
00:34:32.880
apart before I give in to their push for net zero vehicles. I just will not do it.
00:34:38.340
But which industry would be happy of that? Do you think toy truck that they would like to store
00:34:44.840
all the electric car that didn't reach their destination in time?
00:34:51.620
I can't even imagine doing farm work with an electric pickup. Like I just, I can't even like
00:34:59.240
imagine hauling bales, hauling livestock, um, moving grain with an electric truck. I just,
00:35:05.000
it's madness just won't work. It doesn't have the same power anyway, because I was looking at one,
00:35:13.320
uh, of TV show and they were trying the, um, uh, the removal from the snow. I don't know how you
00:35:19.680
call it in English. Um, but someone had like a normal one with gas and the other one had like
00:35:26.240
the electric one and the electric one didn't do like a minute. I want to, it was just like
00:35:31.000
shutting down all the time because there is no power on this. Yeah. Well, I mean, if anybody has
00:35:37.920
a golf cart or an ATV, you know, your ATV is more powerful than your golf cart. I, we have both. So I
00:35:43.220
know, um, it, it's just common sense that the government doesn't have. Um, and we've seen this
00:35:49.080
play out in real time in Ottawa. They moved to, or they attempted to move to electric buses and
00:35:56.540
Ottawa gets a lot of snow and then the buses wouldn't work in the snow. And so they had spent
00:36:02.020
all this billions of dollars on this transition away from, uh, reliable diesel electric buses to
00:36:09.080
whatever they've got now. And then they just, the buses don't run in the snow. And so what are you
00:36:13.860
going to do except put the other ones back on the road? And just every time it snows, you have to
00:36:18.240
take the electric buses off the road. Great idea, guys. You're saving us money. Um, one more last
00:36:25.540
thing, uh, before we, uh, hit an ad break, which we're way overdue for, uh, tyranny runs in the
00:36:31.340
family over at the Schwab family. Uh, Klaus Schwab's daughter says that permanent climate lockdowns are
00:36:38.540
coming, whether you like it or not. Uh, you will not lock me down, sister. You're going to be like
00:36:45.140
stuffing a cat into a wet paper bag. You're not going to lock me down. Um, but these people think
00:36:51.380
that, um, they, God, she sure looks like a super villain. Anyways. Um, the, they think that they
00:36:58.060
can replicate the COVID lockdowns on their new emergency, which is the same old emergency that
00:37:05.300
ever was. Um, and they're going to prevent us from moving around and, uh, control our lives.
00:37:14.160
This is just the latest thing. They, they know who is compliant because of, uh, how certain people
00:37:23.000
and certain populations were able to be controlled, uh, during COVID lockdowns that ultimately made no
00:37:30.500
sense that they can convince people to go along, to get along. They know who those people are.
00:37:34.540
And now, um, they're going to use it for this and, um, good luck to them. Good luck.
00:37:43.400
But more and more is coming more and more. They are producing new tools that would be easier to
00:37:50.320
lock down people as electric cars, easy to cut electricity or say that you reach your level of
00:37:57.340
electricity allow and order like, like the 15 min city or whatever it is. It's always a new tool
00:38:05.100
that we see appearing. And it's just like, Oh, that's a great tool for controlling population.
00:38:10.180
Eh? You know, that's a really great point. It's a point that, uh, Andrew Wilkow on SiriusXM makes all
00:38:17.620
the time. He, on the Wilkow majority, he always says when the government is giving you something with
00:38:24.060
an outstretched hand, the other hand is always a closed fist. And you can see that you make an
00:38:29.920
excellent point when you're talking about, uh, green cars. So the government is basically paying
00:38:34.900
you to get into a green car, but the government now can turn off your green car. If you are defying
00:38:44.260
your climate lockdown, uh, the government uses, uh, land use and building codes to build you these
00:38:53.060
convenient little cities where you have everything you need, these 15 minute cities, these convenient
00:38:59.520
little neighborhoods. And so you're enticed to move into them because of the convenience, but they've
00:39:05.920
just built an ant farm for you and they're just going to close the lid. And so always be wary of when
00:39:11.320
the government is giving you things because it is never, ever, ever for free.
00:39:16.280
And especially like when we see like grocery store or restaurant that now doesn't accept any cash
00:39:23.620
and now you use your credit card, but your credit card, they can see like, Oh, too much meat.
00:39:29.380
We cut you on the credit, like carbon credit for your meat because you reach too much of your
00:39:36.540
carbon footprint now. So I'm really worried with this new, like generation of like boutique with
00:39:43.280
like now you cannot use any cash for that. So, um, um, I'm, I'm worried that this would be a huge
00:39:50.300
tool for the climate lockdown. Yeah. I mean, we've already seen it play out, right? Like they already
00:39:56.320
tested this with convoy. If you had a little bit too much to think, um, with the convoy and you threw
00:40:02.960
your support behind the convoy, you were kicked out of your bank account. So it can be done and without
00:40:08.380
much objection from the larger populace. So again, they know they, with COVID they've figured out
00:40:16.200
exactly who they can control. Uh, it's definitely not me, but they know that a huge portion of this
00:40:23.540
population will just go along to get along because the government told them that this is the right
00:40:27.420
thing to do. And they, that's all it takes for them to think that they're being a good person.
00:40:32.500
And so it's very chilling. Um, hopefully, you know, you know, what is most chilling is like
00:40:39.740
Quebec is the, the one who did buy the most of electric vehicles, um, the most receptive to it.
00:40:46.640
So I live here. Yikes. Yikes. You're going to be a real renegade. I think, uh, we should hit an ad
00:40:55.960
break and then we should go into federal politics because things aren't looking so great for the
00:41:00.320
just internal liberals, which is why I think there's absolutely no election in the very near
00:41:04.220
future. So let's do an ad break. How in the world could such a small group of people with
00:41:11.540
limited resources change world history? But in fact, that's happening and it's the power of the
00:41:17.140
truth. The truth is like kryptonite. Healthcare isn't in some sense working very well. Foster
00:41:22.160
Colson is thinking about this. He's got a new company, an online healthcare platform called the
00:41:26.920
wellness company, telehealth company called the wellness company, the wellness company,
00:41:30.600
the most popular product is the detoxification supplement that features natto kinase. Natto kinase
00:41:36.480
is the only enzyme that we're aware of right now that dissolves the spike protein. Spike protein is
00:41:41.680
loaded in the body with the COVID-19 infection and definitely with the vaccines. We've been completely
00:41:47.320
accurate on the spread of the virus, early treatment on the deficiencies in hospital care. And now
00:41:53.220
the deaths that are occurring after vaccination, this is a human outrage and it's occurring at the
00:41:59.740
end of a hypodermic needle. Isn't it interesting? Natural substances combating this man-made disaster.
00:42:14.780
Okie doke. Let's see if we can breeze through some of this. I don't want to spend too much time on
00:42:19.540
federal politics because I feel like Freeland just gobbled up a lot of the oxygen in the room
00:42:24.260
previously to this. But let's look at these polling numbers from polling Canada, updated 338 Canada
00:42:32.440
federal model. This is seat predictions if the election were held today. Conservative Party of
00:42:42.180
Canada, 162, that's majority. Liberal Party, 117, that puts them in opposition and not even enough with
00:42:50.960
the NDP to pick up. I mean, they couldn't take power from the Conservatives if they joined with the
00:43:01.600
NDP in a coalition. BQ wouldn't join with them anyway. And the Green parties. So massive shift.
00:43:10.360
So the BQ looks like they've picked up two seats, would pick up two seats from the NDP. So the NDP
00:43:18.320
support is not really moving towards the Liberals. Liberal support is not really moving towards the
00:43:24.400
NDP. It's moving directly over to the Conservative Party of Canada because people are sick of them.
00:43:30.060
So it's why you say that you don't see an election coming soon, just because it seems that
00:43:38.020
Justin Trudeau will, like, see that he's not, he's going to lose. So why, why snapping an election
00:43:46.000
now? Like, for him, like, you have, like, the chance with the NDP to be able to be in power until 2025.
00:43:54.800
Is that? Yeah. So I don't think, yeah, I don't, like, if he's doing that, you know that he's putting
00:44:02.260
his first feet into his tomb, and he would not be elect. No, he knows that. And so I think for
00:44:12.320
Justin Trudeau, his only real ideology is power. And so he doesn't want to lose it. That's why he's
00:44:20.340
willing to make deals with the NDP to hold on to power, do and say whatever it takes to hang on
00:44:25.980
to power. And so when I look at these numbers, there's no way in heck that he would do it.
00:44:33.700
Well, I guess he wouldn't call an election, but he also wouldn't do anything to fracture his
00:44:38.560
relationship with the NDP. Because fracturing that relationship with the NDP would bring us to a
00:44:42.880
confidence motion. And then that would be it for the Justin Trudeau Liberals. And looking at these
00:44:49.240
polling numbers, there's no possible way that he would jeopardize that.
00:44:53.020
But like the NDP are so like, hypocritical, like, they are bashing the liberals when they want,
00:45:00.780
but in the same time, they give them like all the power in one side. So I'm just like,
00:45:05.660
seriously, just don't talk, just don't do anything anyway, like you are as liberal as them,
00:45:11.200
because you're helping them to stay there. If you were really a party, like, you will be like,
00:45:18.600
now criticizing him, and also like, be with other party and, and request an election right now.
00:45:28.960
Sure. Actually, my MP, I'll point out, I'll divulge that my MP Garnet Janus, also goes to my church.
00:45:37.700
He points this out in a video in the House of Commons, just how hypocritical the NDP are standing
00:45:46.140
in outside the House of Commons, criticizing the liberals, but also voting along liberal party
00:45:51.780
lines inside the House of Commons. The NDP are really the only reason that the liberals are still
00:45:56.860
in power at this point. I guess because the liberals will throw them enough of like give them enough
00:46:06.020
of their policies in the liberal platform to keep them happy. Anyway, let's show my MP in action.
00:46:14.460
So in this House, we have, I think, different parties that have different dispositions when it
00:46:19.200
comes to, to corporations. You have the NDP that generally takes kind of an anti-business approach
00:46:25.320
in general. You have our party that champions the free competitive market, and you have a government
00:46:31.400
that is, is sadly captured by specific corporate interests, often at the expense of the free market,
00:46:38.460
as well as at the expense of, of individual well-being. And, and paradoxically, the NDP,
00:46:46.100
while they criticize the government for that, is, is, is fundamentally complicit with the government
00:46:51.200
in, on the one hand, criticizing their agenda as it relates to, to defending corporate interests,
00:46:57.380
but on the other hand, supporting the government and providing them with the, with the supply they
00:47:02.840
need to continue in their, in their misguided approach. So in this House. No wrong. I really
00:47:10.520
like him because, um, I remember in Quebec, they were calling the, um, the member of the
00:47:17.760
parliament, uh, green plan because they were not doing anything and they were just there and doing
00:47:23.340
nothing. But he is not, he's not a green plan. He's actually like, uh, requesting some information
00:47:30.060
and doing some, uh, order paper and asking the great question and actually like saying out loud
00:47:38.660
what the people really think. Yeah. There's a lot of really good conservative MPs from what I call the
00:47:46.120
class of 2015. There's a lot of young MPs, a lot of them, particularly in Alberta who, uh, got elected
00:47:54.040
even though Stephen Harper lost power that year. Shannon Stubbs is one. Garnett is one. Um,
00:48:01.360
it just really smart, scrappy, thoughtful, and very conservative. And a lot, uh, Arnold Veerson is
00:48:09.420
another one here in Alberta. He's heavy on the human trafficking issue. Um, a lot of them are like
00:48:16.060
openly pro-life, like they are not scared to be conservative. Um, and I think they're going to
00:48:21.920
make excellent cabinet ministers for Pierre Polyev when he wins. Um, let's hit an ad break. And then
00:48:30.800
I want to, we've got some LGBT nonsense to talk about, but I want to talk about again, but I want
00:48:38.760
to talk about the corn maze in Edmonton because wow. Anyway, let's hit an ad break. We'll talk about
00:48:44.700
the corn maze and they'll go into a couple LGBT cookie stories. You may have heard us previously
00:48:50.020
refer to the term Orwellian in response to the way that governments around the world have acted
00:48:55.300
throughout the COVID-1984 hysteria. But do you know what these terms really mean? Well, they come from
00:49:02.480
the dystopian writings of author George Orwell. And now you can read one of his most famous works,
00:49:08.080
novel 1984, better than ever before to hear the terms that we refer to often, such as the ministry
00:49:16.220
of truth, wrong thing, thought police, et cetera, straight from the horse's mouth. You can find it
00:49:22.560
at by 1984.com where rebel news is excited to launch this revamped classic tale. It's not revamped at all
00:49:31.940
in terms of what was actually written. In fact, all of the writings themselves remain entirely
00:49:37.760
unchanged, but we're now bringing you this harrowing futuristic novel fully illustrated and with a
00:49:46.020
larger, easier to read font size. There is a forward by rebel commander Ezra Levant, and you can order it
00:49:54.340
directly through that website by 1984.com. The parallels between the depictions of the surveillance
00:50:02.660
state and Orwellian's totalitarian depictions in 1984 contrasted with what we are seeing today in
00:50:11.380
our democracies should not be ignored. Go to by 1984.com and purchase your book today. And hey, maybe
00:50:19.460
even order a copy or two for a friend. It's the perfect gift that keeps on giving. And you'll never
00:50:25.480
be able to view the doublespeak of certain politicians the same way again. That's by 1984.com.
00:50:37.860
All right, let's talk about the corn maze. Then we'll go into some LGBT sidewalks getting hate crimed again.
00:50:45.480
And then we'll talk about the COVID test so that we hit because COVID test is is on the headline. So
00:50:54.080
we want to make sure we touch this. Okay, corn maze in Edmonton. And they say it's Edmonton. It's
00:50:59.140
just outside of Edmonton city limits. In fact, it's the next door neighbor pretty well of Grace Life
00:51:04.620
Church. So I'm familiar with this neck of the woods a little bit. And I'll be honest with you,
00:51:10.260
I take my kids to this corn maze every year. The kids sort of compete with each other about who's
00:51:17.800
going to finish it first. And then they go their own way. And I just go get coffee and wait on
00:51:22.500
everybody to get lost. But anyway, it's fine. The corn maze every year, they do a different design,
00:51:28.940
right? Like some years, I think one year it was like a transformer or some. I think maybe even they've
00:51:35.600
had like an NHL theme. This year, they have 150 years of the RCMP design. And look, I've got some
00:51:50.880
criticisms of the RCMP, but I also have some friends and family who are RCMP. So I don't think
00:51:57.940
that they're all bad. I've got real problems with the RCMP brass. I think a lot of the good cops feel
00:52:02.460
the same way. But they're a part of Canadian history. It's an institution that has served
00:52:13.320
Canada for a long time. A lot of men and women put on their uniform every day, kiss their family
00:52:17.720
goodbye and go do dangerous jobs, keeping our communities safe. The bad apples aside.
00:52:24.400
Nothing wrong with that. I don't see anything wrong with this. And I'm a critic of the police
00:52:28.580
sometimes, right? But the people who don't go to the corn maze, obviously, because it's too far outside
00:52:38.320
of city limits for them to take their bus or subway to, Christopher Freeland types. They are angry
00:52:46.520
because they say that a maze that acknowledges the service of the RCMP
00:52:53.760
is somehow insensitive to marginalized communities. Marginalized communities, by the way,
00:53:01.700
which the RCMP serve. Because it's just anti-police nonsense. What are you going to do?
00:53:10.180
Call a social worker? But anyway, this is what it says. The Edmonton corn maze says it will give more
00:53:14.780
thought to future themes to make sure the maze is a welcoming space for everyone.
00:53:18.640
The police serve everyone, by the way. On Friday, the maze posted a statement on Facebook expressing
00:53:25.460
regret or any regret for any pain this year's RCMP's themed maze may have caused marginalized
00:53:34.660
communities. At the time of creating the design, our intention was not to overlook or downplay the
00:53:40.520
concerns associated with the RCMP. Now, this is not the RCMP jackboots cracking down on convoy
00:53:46.360
protesters. If someone had said, like, hey, that's distasteful, I'm not even sure that I would agree
00:53:54.340
with that because that's these RCMP and not the RCMP institution, the men and women who serve our
00:54:01.460
community as a whole. That's, again, something that happened in an isolated place in Ottawa and also
00:54:08.700
Brenda Luckey's the worst. And I'm glad she's gone. But anyways, the owner of the maze says,
00:54:16.760
we recognize that our approach of what? Building a maze? Did not adequately take into account the hurt
00:54:23.700
and harm that the RCMP's history has caused various communities, including Indigenous peoples
00:54:29.680
and people of color? Do we even do these people even know why the RCMP exists? Do they know why the
00:54:38.560
Northwest Mounted Police existed? I don't think they know. Anyways, he says, we acknowledge that any such
00:54:47.080
portrayal may be perceived as insensitive and dismissive of these valid issues. We're sorry.
00:54:52.080
Um, and he's been doing different mazes for, uh, 23 years. Um, but it sounds like he, uh,
00:55:01.400
I don't know. It sounds like the cancel culture mob came for him and he capitulated like an absolute
00:55:07.860
coward. I would have just said, yeah, this is the maze this year. If you don't like it, don't come,
00:55:12.740
come next year. That's completely stupid. Like I've been shot in the legs by RCMP. Do I'm actually
00:55:20.660
saying I am offense by that? No, because I acknowledge that they have a job that they are facing
00:55:27.820
sometime like really critical situation. And I will not paint like all RCMP officer because of one
00:55:35.800
single officer who did that to me. Um, no, I will not. And I, I think like people have like a really
00:55:45.080
quick way to just like paint everybody in the same box just because of one or two individual who did
00:55:53.760
like their job wrongly or did like some offencing thing, but that doesn't represent like the old
00:56:01.240
officers or the old like unit. It's, it's, I find that completely like stupid to, for them to have
00:56:08.920
apologized because they should not have been apologized because what they did, it was, it was right.
00:56:14.300
I just think this is crazy. And for these people, for those of you who don't know why the RCMP was
00:56:21.820
founded, it was founded to protect indigenous people from whiskey traders. So this is from
00:56:27.640
the RCMP's own website. Um, they consider the birthday of the RCMP May 23rd, 1873. Um,
00:56:39.920
the order in council to establish the Northwest mountain police. So the precursor to the
00:56:44.220
RCMP wasn't signed until August 30th, 1873, but the founding of this police agency was in response
00:56:51.520
to an attack on first nations people in the Cypress Hills, which is Saskatchewan and Alberta
00:56:56.100
by American whiskey traders and wolf hunters. They were founded to stop a massacre. Uh, later that
00:57:03.640
year on November 3rd, the first 150 recruits gathered at lower Fort Gary near Winnipeg, Manitoba
00:57:08.640
to start training. And so, uh, by the next summer, 300, uh, recruits were deployed across the West,
00:57:15.980
um, in detachments. Um, and these first outposts employed first nations and Métis guides, scouts,
00:57:24.140
and entrepreneur or and interpreters. So, um, the history of the RCMP is intrinsically tied
00:57:32.720
to a favorable relationship with first nations people. And what, by the way, what an insult to,
00:57:38.780
uh, first nations police officers right now that you can't celebrate the jobs that they do in their
00:57:45.600
community because you might offend some white busy bodies from downtown Edmonton. Get bent.
00:57:50.640
My biggest problem in this, it's like we, they comply once again and give like tribune to extreme
00:58:02.560
left activists who are for defund the police and that claim a cab, like all cops are bastards.
00:58:12.480
And they give them the reason of what they are doing as a being activists. And they, they see that
00:58:19.080
what they are doing got to a result. And that would not give them like the taste to stop. They
00:58:26.520
would just, they just, they would just want to continue because they see that the result of their
00:58:31.760
activists. Yeah. I mean this and the worst part, I mean, the mob is bad enough, but the mob shrieks
00:58:40.260
at everything. It's the guy who gave in. And I know some people are like, well, he's a small business
00:58:45.120
owner. This isn't the hill he wanted to die on. He's trying to protect his seasonal employees.
00:58:49.080
Sure. But do you really think that these, uh, cancel culture mobsters are going to get on their bikes
00:58:54.920
and drive the 10 kilometers out of town, down that secondary highway to get to the, um,
00:59:01.400
corn maze to protest them? Absolutely not. Normal people will continue to go. Uh, these people are
00:59:07.500
not patronizing your maze and I don't know why he capitulated and probably more people would have been
00:59:12.800
like, you know what? I, I didn't make, I don't normally make time for the corn maze, but I'm going to go
00:59:17.600
support this guy for taking a stand, uh, for, for doing the right thing. You know, it's very
00:59:23.940
demoralizing to the good cops to see, um, them all painted with the brush of bad cop. Um, and the
00:59:32.740
activists do it and that's what the activists will do. But this business owner just gave that,
00:59:36.860
um, some credibility for some reason. And I don't know why all he had to do was say,
00:59:42.160
you know what? Uh, I'm sorry. You don't like this year's corn maze. I'll see you next year.
00:59:47.380
Exactly. That was, they should have done that instead of like apologizing.
00:59:53.660
Yeah. I don't know. It's stupid anyway, but I, um, I'll have to find some, I'll go to the other
01:00:00.520
corn maze. There's, there are a couple other corn mazes. I'll go to the other one. It's not as big,
01:00:05.440
but, uh, I don't think they care about my politics down there. So I'll, I'll go to that one instead.
01:00:10.840
Um, we should talk about the COVID tests. Yeah. There, uh, apparently, uh, there are not enough
01:00:23.100
Nilly Kaplan mirths in the world to consume all the remaining COVID tests that are just out there.
01:00:28.980
Um, can we bring up that article? There we go. I think it's 39 million of tests that we are sitting
01:00:35.820
on it and, uh, they don't want to throw in the garbage. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so, and I know
01:00:46.280
there are COVID tests all over my house. Cause there was a point at which they were just sending them
01:00:49.720
home with my kids. And I'm like, I'm not sticking this thing up your nose. I don't care. You're not
01:00:54.160
sick. I'm not sticking this up your nose. And like my husband's work, I think they were sending them
01:00:58.820
home sometimes and they just piled up, piled up. I'm like, I'm not using them, quit sending them.
01:01:04.420
Um, and I remember that in Alberta, you could get your COVID tests. Like they would just give them
01:01:10.000
for free. I think you'd get them where basically wherever you wanted them and now they don't have
01:01:16.200
enough uptake. And so we've got all these tests, um, just sitting there, I suppose, expiring, uh,
01:01:22.600
along with the vaccines nobody wants. That's so stupid.
01:01:28.820
But people are like, keep forgetting that we paid for that. And, uh, we would just throw
01:01:36.280
like, I don't know how many, um, million of dollars that we would just throw in the garbage
01:01:42.660
because oven men wanted so much that you go home and test yourself.
01:01:49.840
Yeah. There were people who were like test obsessed. Have you noticed that people would
01:01:54.520
be like, and they would announce it on Twitter. They would be like, Oh, I, I have a runny nose.
01:02:00.140
I'm like, okay, who cares? And then they would be like, I tested for COVID and I didn't, and it came
01:02:05.220
back negative. So I tested the next day and it came back negative. So I tested the third day and it came
01:02:11.360
back positive. And it's like, okay, so I don't know if your test is wrong or if you got COVID,
01:02:18.280
but by the time they are testing positive for COVID, I think they're, their runny nose had
01:02:23.120
already cleared up. Like, but people were just so obsessed with joining the club of those who had
01:02:29.920
had COVID that they would test themselves obsessively to make sure that they had joined the club of those
01:02:36.580
who had COVID for some reason. I don't know, but it's not the club that I wants to be on.
01:02:44.000
I think I had COVID for like 18 hours. I was fine. It wasn't even enough for me to like take the day
01:02:49.500
off work. Although I never take the day off work, no matter how garbagey I feel. Um, I can't justify it.
01:02:54.820
I work from, I can't justify it. I work from home, but I remember I was just like, I was really warm,
01:03:00.200
but the rest of me was cold and I felt gross. I went to bed at three o'clock after our like last
01:03:05.700
staff call. And I woke up the next morning and I was like, well, I guess that's that.
01:03:09.600
Like it was, it was like, this is, this is why we shut down the world. Okay. Yeah. I gave me a
01:03:21.040
whole different perspective on everything. Um, last thing on the list before we, oh, we're over time.
01:03:26.680
So we should really get to it. Tilsonburg, Ontario, Oxford pride, just paid to have a crosswalk installed.
01:03:35.400
Less than a week ago by the clock tower. I thought pride is over. So why are we putting this thing
01:03:42.120
in anyway? Uh, it's disgusting that in 2023, we as hashtag two S L G B T Q A I plus folks. Oh my God.
01:03:55.700
Is that a word folks are continuing to have our, to have to fight for our rights, freedoms,
01:04:02.860
respect, and dignity. What happened? Someone squawk some tires on the road. Um, oh no,
01:04:08.620
they vandalized it. Oh, but in the same time, the road is that everybody, you know,
01:04:13.860
they hate crimed them. Like imagine thinking that you, um, this is a violation of your human rights
01:04:22.900
to have somebody spray paint some overpriced public art on the road. Like this, this should affect you,
01:04:32.500
even if you were in the LGBTQ and all the other letters plus sign divided sign world. If you are in
01:04:40.020
that universe, somebody spray painting a crosswalk, how does that harm you? Like, I don't, I don't
01:04:48.420
understand that this means you still have to fight for your rights. It just means that some kids had a
01:04:53.840
can of spray paint. Like we don't, we don't even know. This is a hate crime, but the, but the 40 and
01:05:04.420
something churches that burned out, that was not a right crime. Okay. That's a, that makes sense.
01:05:11.860
That's a, that's a, that's a really great point. By the way, what are they scratching out here?
01:05:17.240
The white. So I guess they're, they didn't scratch out anything else. Like they didn't scratch out.
01:05:22.320
Is this like a anti white gay people crime? Is it? They scratched at the white and the pink. So I
01:05:29.820
think what's the pink that female, I guess we are concerned about gender stereotypes. We are
01:05:35.740
enforcing gender stereotypes. If the pink line represents females, um, in the LGBTQ sphere,
01:05:44.200
although I'm reliably informed that that's a gender stereotype that we shouldn't enforce.
01:05:49.500
And then the white represents like white people, I guess. So they scratched out white people and
01:05:55.380
women. So what were their intentions here? I don't know. I would, I prefer not to know.
01:06:03.460
Probably nothing. The point is probably nothing. It's just some kids with a can of spray paint who
01:06:10.340
probably would have did this because they knew that people like Jordan Kent would get on the internet
01:06:19.920
Mm-hmm. It's just like, it just, I, some people are, and he mentioned that we need to fight for our
01:06:30.120
right and freedom. But, um, before you didn't touch the children, there was no fight to have with
01:06:37.940
nobody because everybody was like, like living their life normally and not really bothering with like
01:06:44.520
LGBTQ, uh, LGBTQ, uh, I plus, whatever, because there is always been like a pride, um,
01:06:53.260
pride day or pride week or pride. Well, now it's now month and season, but there always been
01:07:00.000
a pride moment every year. And I'm sorry, I never see like backlash as we experience now,
01:07:11.460
just because you went after the children, stop touching the children. You will not have to fight
01:07:18.160
anymore for you. Right. And everything like that. Well, and it's the people who are sexualizing the
01:07:26.960
children that are hiding under the umbrella of the LGBTQ community. If the LGBT community would kindly
01:07:35.020
just push them out from under the umbrella. We, I think we'd all be fine. Just shove them out into the
01:07:40.220
rain. We'd all be good. We would know that they're not with you. And they would know that they're not
01:07:45.300
with you. And we would all just be fine. And we would all be just like, leave the little ones alone
01:07:49.560
or I'll join team Millstone pretty quick. And if I was like in the LGBTQ community as myself,
01:07:58.360
I will be like, so mad to see some people using like my community as a tool, political tool,
01:08:06.140
by the way, to push an agenda that are coming from mostly liberals and other like entity. And I would
01:08:14.920
be like so mad to see that. And I will be like retracting myself as much like, and just like
01:08:20.480
leaving myself as like, this is not my community anymore. I don't want to have nothing to do with
01:08:25.520
that. So please leave me alone. Yeah. Yeah. Also, I noticed in the rumble explanation of the show
01:08:34.340
today that we have a story that you suggested on these new stores. And it sort of touches on you made
01:08:42.200
mention of it a little bit earlier, but it touches on that idea of social credit. These stores that I
01:08:47.880
think it's all these stores that won't, which is like a convenience store, but like a, it's more like a
01:08:55.200
convenience store, but also a dollar store kind of idea. But also, but they have food in Europe, largely, I
01:09:05.100
think the UK, I've been in an Aldi store before. Interesting. But they don't take cash payment for food
01:09:19.900
You're going to be tracked and apt to buy anything. I'm going to buy some strawberries,
01:09:26.820
and I'm offering exactly the right amount of money here on the help desk. So you people take that
01:09:33.940
money, £1.90, and I will take my strawberries outside.
01:09:39.420
You can't take that. I'm going to call the police. You can't take that. You can't take that. I have paid, I have paid, I have paid, I pay by legal tender.
01:09:53.440
I paid by legal tender and I am going out with my strawberries and I'm going out with my strawberries and I'm going out with my strawberries. I paid by legal tender in this dystopian place.
01:10:09.680
Okay. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Because you should be able to spend wherever you want. This is an absolute joke. You want one, mate? Thank you.
01:10:23.440
We need more people like that because he's right. He's saying, I paid on a legal way. This is true. Since when we put money, not legal way to pay, this is insane.
01:10:41.360
Like the only money should always, always be a legal way to pay. So like the money, the liquid cash, I mean the cash.
01:10:54.940
Yep. So that to put that not legal to a store should not be legal at all.
01:11:02.940
Yeah. By the way, I was just doing some quick calculations there. 1.9 pounds sterling, so British pounds, for a pound of strawberries, $3.20 Canadian. That's really cheap.
01:11:27.060
Yeah, it's cheap. I know. I'm like, they don't have Freeland in charge of their economy over there, obviously, because their food inflation is not completely out of control. It's like five bucks and they're seasonal right now.
01:11:40.920
So like I can go to my garden and pick strawberries there, which is why I don't buy them in the store, besides the fact that I can't afford them.
01:11:48.380
But yeah, that's $3.20 Canadian for a pound of strawberries. It's a good price. It's a real good price.
01:11:55.900
Anyway, you prefer pickle than strawberry. Anyway.
01:11:58.860
I do. I made pickles over the weekend. So, so many. I still got to go and get some cucumbers on order from the Hutterites. I got to go get some more just so I can make it through the winter.
01:12:09.660
Sure. Let's get into these cats because they're way over time. Snowy Roof gives us five bucks.
01:12:20.360
It says, a person who says budgets balance themselves, how do you expect him to spend our taxes in an efficient manner?
01:12:27.460
It's true. He also said he's going to grow the economy from the heart outward, whatever the hell that means.
01:12:36.340
Yes. Snowy Roof, five bucks. Sheila, you should be able to find a current bush on the side of a lease road to charge your electric vehicle.
01:12:45.980
Yeah. Yeah. Current bush, high bush cranberries, all those things. You just plug your car right into them, charge it up.
01:12:57.160
Fraser McBurney, our Fight the Fines recidivist from Hamilton, Ontario, and Fight the Fines Victor.
01:13:02.700
He had all of his tickets tossed out for protesting. Five bucks.
01:13:06.120
Name the one person who can't walk in public without being admonished by any member of the public.
01:13:10.440
Justin Trudeau. What a disgraceful person he is.
01:13:12.540
Yeah. I remember people being this, like the left, for reasons they could not describe, by the way, being viscerally angry about Stephen Harper.
01:13:21.280
They just hated his face for some reason, but they really couldn't understand why, because I'm like, your taxes are lower, the economy's good, we survived the global recession better than anybody else, thanks to Stephen Harper's strong management of our economy.
01:13:37.120
He didn't like to spend taxpayers' money on himself at all. He didn't have a taxpayer-funded nanny he paid for his wife or for his kids on his own, not like Justin Trudeau.
01:13:51.480
His mother-in-law didn't live with them on the taxpayer dime, like Justin Trudeau. He couldn't optically repair the mansion at 24 Sussex because he didn't want to be perceived to be spending the money on his family.
01:14:09.480
And that mansion now, Justin Trudeau refuses to live in because it's not fancy enough, and so now it's undergoing construction.
01:14:17.140
But the left couldn't tell you why they disliked Stephen Harper. They just knew the media and the liberals told them to dislike Stephen Harper.
01:14:24.660
But this visceral anger that you see out in the world directed at Justin Trudeau, people hate him, and they know exactly why they hate him.
01:14:32.240
If you ask him, like, why do you hate Justin Trudeau, they will tell you exactly why.
01:14:40.000
They'll say, like, he canceled this project, he taxed me on this, you know, he's chased this job away, he's done this, he's funded this.
01:14:48.540
Like, they will go down the list of reasons why they can't stand Justin Trudeau and why they hate him with a boiling anger.
01:14:56.380
It's very different. It's very different than what I saw, you know, eight, ten years ago.
01:15:03.340
But when Stephen Harper was prime minister, I was not really politically involved at that point.
01:15:10.460
And I remember just in Quebec, lots of people didn't like Stephen Harper.
01:15:16.820
I remember, like, in Quebec, lots of people were, like, didn't like that man.
01:15:27.460
And you know what, quite frankly, Justin Trudeau, he, it's like he gives Quebec what they want, but he doesn't really understand what Quebec wants.
01:15:40.440
Stephen Harper, and there's, you know, there's data to support this.
01:15:45.380
When Stephen Harper took power, almost right after that, because he believed in provincial autonomy, you're the province, I'm not going to overstep my boundaries into your province, so you guys figure out what you're doing over there.
01:15:59.000
The feds are going to stay in our lane, we're going to do federal stuff, you guys are going to do provincial stuff, we're not going to meddle in between.
01:16:05.820
And when Stephen Harper took power, separatist movements both in Alberta, but also in Quebec extinguished, because of his hands-off approach to provincial politics.
01:16:18.880
And once Justin Trudeau took power, they both started to flame up again.
01:16:27.940
And it's because he doesn't know how to keep his grubby fingers off of provincial jurisdiction.
01:16:34.800
So, well, people, I don't think that was ever really well articulated to people in Quebec.
01:16:41.520
Like, look, Stephen Harper just wanted to leave you alone.
01:16:43.740
You might not like his politics, but he just wanted to leave you alone.
01:16:50.960
Yeah, and by the way, by an external point of view, how do you see Quebec, more left or more right?
01:17:01.600
I think that, I don't even know if Quebec, you can even think about Quebec as left or right.
01:17:10.420
I think some of, like, the social policies in Quebec are very far left, and they've been far left for a very long time.
01:17:19.000
However, cities tend to lead the way on this stuff.
01:17:22.060
I think outside of the big cities, I think I'd meet a lot of people just like me, who just want to be left alone.
01:17:27.760
They love their guns, they love their small government, they love nature and living off the land and deciding how they want to live their own lives, who aren't scared of climate change, who aren't scared of COVID.
01:17:44.500
I think outside of the big cities, I think rural Quebecers and the vast majority of Albertans, we would be of the same mind on very many things.
01:17:55.060
And I think Quebecers were early adopters of telling the feds to get out of our business, rightly or wrongly.
01:18:09.120
It's probably why Montreal is the most populated city, so it's probably why people think that Quebec is a tendency on the left.
01:18:19.800
But I think if you go outside of Montreal, a lot of people are from there, the right.
01:18:25.960
I mean, and you look at the federal government's attacks on the resource industry, they came for forestry first.
01:18:41.740
And there's a language barrier in between the middle of us.
01:18:44.280
And we also have the media that wants us to stay apart.
01:19:04.220
However, we do have, like, French-speaking communities here, you know, like, where we have our road signs in French, just outside of the city.
01:19:13.080
Yeah, Legale, Beaumont, there's lots of places like that.
01:19:15.960
And in the north, lots of French communities up there.
01:19:21.640
But yeah, like, one of these oil patch downs, they'd be crawling all over themselves to get you for here.
01:19:40.600
Guys in the studio, do we have any more chats or are we all caught up?
01:19:50.360
Alexa, thanks for being my co-host today and being so good-tempered when I talk too much.
01:20:01.720
And thanks to everybody in studio and who works behind the scenes to make sure the show's ready to go and available whenever our viewers want to see it.
01:20:11.700
And thanks to everybody who sort of engages in the civil discourse of the chats.
01:20:17.180
And thanks to everybody who pitches in in the paid chats to keep the lights on here at Rebel News.
01:20:22.680
I think for the next couple of days, we're just still working remotely.
01:20:26.680
Our construction timelines, as they tend to do, are a little bit wonky.
01:20:34.080
But we'll make sure that we have a live stream for you somehow, some way.
