Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Libs spending in the wrong places, Smith pushes back on net zero, Anglos in Quebec

00:00:00.420 That's right, you are watching the Daily Roundup from the Rocky Mountains and Prairie's to la Belle Provence.

00:00:05.260 We are live today covering some of the stories.

00:00:08.500 I am your host today, Adam Sos, and I'm joined by my co-host, Alexa Labois.

00:00:12.520 How are you doing, Alexa?

00:00:14.600 I'm pretty good, and you, Adam?

00:00:16.780 Wonderful, no complaints whatsoever.

00:00:18.940 Happy to be on with you.

00:00:20.120 Have we done one of these before?

00:00:21.520 I know we've been on streams, but I don't know if we've done the live stream together.

00:00:24.980 Is this the first?

00:00:26.620 No, I think we did once, but I think it's back a year ago.

00:00:31.920 I think it was election night coverage or something, though.

00:00:34.840 I know we've done that, but yeah, it was the French debates, the French leadership debates.

00:00:39.820 That's what it was.

00:00:40.600 Fun, so I'm looking forward to this.

00:00:42.780 It's going to be a good day.

00:00:43.720 Before we get into some of these incredible stories for the day, I'll just go through some of the nuts and bolts type stuff.

00:00:49.540 So if you're tuning in, you're likely watching us on Rumble, Odyssey, YouTube, Getter, wherever you choose to join us.

00:00:55.880 We're very fortunate to have you with us.

00:00:57.920 I would encourage you, though, to consider switching over to one of the platforms that doesn't necessarily pass judgment on people's opinions,

00:01:05.480 but rather serve the role that these platforms are supposed to, which is an avenue, an outlet, a place to share these perspectives.

00:01:13.400 YouTube, we've had to be extremely careful in the past on what we could or couldn't touch on, even if there were things that, by all reasonable measures, we should have been able to talk about.

00:01:22.080 And, well, platforms like Rumble, well, they had us over there with no problems whatsoever.

00:01:27.320 They are great supporters of the work we do, so check us out on Rumble.

00:01:30.760 The other fun thing that you can do on Rumble, there's these things called Rumble Rants.

00:01:34.020 You give a few bucks, then you have the opportunity to engage with us, have a conversation.

00:01:39.380 That's always fun.

00:01:40.220 It's good to have feedback from you, and unlike some of the other media outlets out there who get their handouts from the government and don't really care what you have to say,

00:01:47.900 we actually want to get your feedback.

00:01:49.740 We want to know what you think about these stories.

00:01:51.140 And if there's another story you'd like us to touch on, well, Rumble Rants are a great way to get that story across.

00:01:56.260 You can also join us on Locals.

00:01:57.620 That's a place, like a social media platform, where you can find all of our coverage.

00:02:00.900 But if you support us through Locals, if you join Locals that way, you're going to have access to some of the content you wouldn't get on just our normal social media.

00:02:09.160 So I think that covers us for the day.

00:02:11.620 Without further ado, we can get into some of these stories.

00:02:14.060 And the first story that I want to touch on here is we're going to start right off the bat with some of this crime and really a pretty dark period.

00:02:25.780 Most of you are probably aware of the Carol Homolka, Paul Bernardo sort of serial killings that took place.

00:02:32.600 Obviously, Carol Homolka, we won't get into that too much, but pretty much got a borderline free pass and is living her best life.

00:02:39.040 But the latest story from Corrections Canada is that they could have given the victim's family's earlier warning of Paul Bernardo's transfer.

00:02:49.400 So a review committee has concluded there was nothing stopping Correctional Services of Canada from giving victims' families advance warning of serial killer and rapist Paul Bernardo's prison transfer.

00:02:59.500 The committee also concluded that the decisions, corrections Canada made regarding Bernardo's security classification and transfer from maximum to medium security prison were completely in compliance with legal and policy frameworks.

00:03:11.420 So what we have here is technically the actual decision itself, it was fine.

00:03:16.060 But given the sort of dark period of history, what we saw, the murders, the rapes, all these things, that the angle that's concerning here is that there and it's part of a continuing pattern.

00:03:26.360 And I'm sure you've probably seen it, too, as someone who was shot with a tear gas canister for covering a protest.

00:03:32.000 But if you're a pastor or if you're the family of a pastor or if you're a questioning journalist or if you're maybe a trucker who is attending a protest, there seems to be no consideration whatsoever if you're a member of their families.

00:03:45.840 Meanwhile, there seems to be a lot of care and concern going into the protection and treatment of Paul Bernardo.

00:03:53.040 What do you think about all this, Alexa?

00:03:54.780 Because obviously what happened isn't wrong, the movement, but the fact that the families weren't really consulted and they learned about this on the news, like you or I.

00:04:04.300 Yeah, but at the same time, like you see, they are almost apologised to a serial killer and his family.

00:04:12.680 When you touch a good point for the pastor and for even me being like shot or the woman who's been trampled by a horse, not only she didn't receive any help from RCMP or anybody, but nobody did inform family or anything about what happened.

00:04:31.420 And so they actually learned afterwards, after everybody saw it.

00:04:37.000 And I would say, like, why we have always double standard in Canada?

00:04:43.180 Why we need to give more rights, more like, you know, we give more to criminals than to normal citizens.

00:04:56.860 Listen, this is not supposed to happen.

00:04:59.800 Yeah, yeah, it legitimately seems.

00:05:01.820 And we've got some drug stories coming up, too.

00:05:03.720 So we'll touch on some of the double standard there as well.

00:05:06.440 But you can legitimately get in more trouble for, like, feeding the homeless without a permit or without the government sanction than for dealing hard drugs.

00:05:14.720 It's pretty wild to see.

00:05:17.340 We do have a video clip with our noble little potato in the lead who tackles this.

00:05:24.200 So if we can run that video clip of Trudeau being asked about his confidence in the public safety minister.

00:05:30.680 Mr. Prime Minister, you didn't directly answer the question about your public safety minister.

00:05:35.920 Do you have confidence in him to continue after this handling of the Bernardo transfer file?

00:05:41.900 I have an amazing team in Ottawa and an amazing group of MPs right across the country who are committed to serving their country every single day.

00:05:53.220 And anyone in my cabinet, by definition, has my confidence.

00:05:59.040 Merci beaucoup tout le monde.

00:05:59.840 I'm sorry, but when you need to be asked twice the same question and you get that as an answer, it's like a basic answer that almost doesn't, like, answer to the question.

00:06:16.380 It's just saying, like, I'm petting my MP and my cabinet.

00:06:21.520 Oh, they are so great.

00:06:23.600 But can you answer the question, please?

00:06:26.480 You know, it's so bizarre because they literally said he didn't answer the question directly and he didn't again.

00:06:31.720 It's the equivalent of, like, Alexa, would you say we're friends?

00:06:35.140 And you're like, I have lots of friends at Rebel.

00:06:37.840 But yeah, but are we friends?

00:06:39.840 I've got lots of friends.

00:06:41.180 Like, he wasn't even willing to say the person's name.

00:06:44.080 He's like, by definition, anyone.

00:06:46.340 The guy cannot answer a question directly.

00:06:48.640 Just by definition, anyone in my cabinet is very good.

00:06:52.060 This also speaks to, though, Justin Trudeau is, like, incapable of sort of questioning or acknowledging.

00:06:58.300 I don't know if it's an actual, like, cognitive issue where he doesn't think he can err or if he's just so sort of insecure that he's not willing to make sort of concessions.

00:07:09.980 And you look at someone like, for example, Danielle Smith, and I'm not endorsing the fact that she makes mistakes, but she's willing to at least sort of have conversations and be like, oh, maybe that wasn't the right thing to do.

00:07:21.160 You just don't see that out of Justin Trudeau.

00:07:23.780 It's almost like dealing with an AI robot that's been instructed never to apologize and never to commit to anything.

00:07:32.200 That's what his answers always sound like.

00:07:34.900 Just nothing sandwiches, basically.

00:07:37.220 But at the same time, when we look at that, okay, for Ribbon News, he never answered us.

00:07:42.660 That's fine.

00:07:43.740 Like, we saw it.

00:07:45.040 But the fact that he doesn't answer to us, talk more than if he did.

00:07:50.680 And, example, now he's answering to those mainstream media, but he's not answering also.

00:07:57.280 He's just doing signal virtue to, like, oh, you see, I'm at least saying something.

00:08:05.540 So, you see, I'm nice to mainstream media because they are nice with me.

00:08:11.020 But at the end of the day, both of us, both of our outlet and their outlet doesn't get the answer.

00:08:19.500 Yeah, it's like we file a request for information.

00:08:23.640 Justin Trudeau refuses to give us a piece of paper in response, and he gives them a blank piece of paper.

00:08:28.920 Either way, you're really getting nothing out of this government.

00:08:33.500 And it's starting to show.

00:08:35.380 We've got some stories about, like, sort of spending and approval coming up here in a little bit.

00:08:38.860 But it is starting to show.

00:08:40.260 People are starting to realize it.

00:08:41.740 But I, for one, though, I just think it's crazy that this has worked for eight years because this is effectively what he's been doing.

00:08:48.800 Like, it's – and sometimes it's sad.

00:08:51.040 Sometimes it's tragic.

00:08:52.120 Sometimes it's funny, like the water box thing.

00:08:54.880 Like, what practical measures are you taking?

00:08:56.500 Oh, we switched to, like, this hipster water.

00:08:58.840 None of these things are tangible, practical, direct answers.

00:09:02.920 Now, don't get me wrong.

00:09:04.060 It spans a spectrum.

00:09:05.400 We had plenty of non-answer or pseudo-answer politicians and politicians skirting the issue in the Conservative Party as well.

00:09:14.980 I think that's starting to change.

00:09:17.000 I don't know if – I don't know if the scene – what the scene is like politically in Quebec as far as politicians actually being willing to answer questions.

00:09:23.680 Pierre Pauly, I think he's a little shy about interviews.

00:09:26.100 I think he needs to step up and just do a full-on interview.

00:09:28.860 Yes, that's an open invitation.

00:09:30.900 But they're actually willing to be held accountable, willing to answer questions.

00:09:34.620 I think that's a move in the right direction.

00:09:36.840 These liberals, there's no indication of it.

00:09:38.980 So, I think that this may sort of continue to sway people.

00:09:43.580 They're cluing in that his empty, arrogant answer isn't actually – isn't a good thing.

00:09:48.360 And it's not him being suave.

00:09:49.700 He either doesn't know or he's hiding something.

00:09:51.960 I think those are the only two possibilities.

00:09:54.560 And by the way, you're from the West.

00:09:57.540 All people are saying Justin Trudeau.

00:10:01.760 Do you think that they want him next time for prime minister?

00:10:05.300 How is the take of the citizen from the West Coast?

00:10:09.260 Yeah.

00:10:09.620 Like, Vancouver, there's some folks who are liberal inclined for sure.

00:10:13.640 And they've made some strides.

00:10:15.500 As far as Alberta, though, it's the weirdest thing.

00:10:17.560 Even the areas, the constituencies or ridings within Calgary that voted NDP and have become sort of NDP, like, nesting grounds or holding grounds or places where they plan or at least hope to gain more ground, those places still will vote overwhelmingly conservative federally.

00:10:37.640 So despite voting for a basically socialist, far-left, progressive government provincially in some of these areas, federally speaking, they will not vote for those people.

00:10:47.280 They basically do not stand a chance.

00:10:49.720 So we've got a by-election coming up here in one area that at least one, maybe even two provincial ridings have gone NDP.

00:10:58.520 And it's expected to be just an overwhelming conservative win.

00:11:03.180 Like, I could see, despite the fact, PPC, Maverick, Liberal, NDP, and I think one other party at least are running.

00:11:13.380 Yeah, Christian Heritage, I believe, is also running in this by-election.

00:11:16.440 It could still be 60%, 70% for the conservative candidate, Shav Majumdar.

00:11:21.280 So, yeah, it's federally, they don't buy it at all.

00:11:25.080 It's incredible Toronto still does buy it, even though provincially they've sort of shifted perspectives.

00:11:30.500 So, yeah, but no, it's never been a good sell in Saskatchewan or Alberta.

00:11:35.640 They tend to just go overwhelmingly blue, so not buying it in the slightest.

00:11:41.940 On that, we talked a little bit about some of the drug hypocrisy, but first off, I guess we can give some kudos to RCMP.

00:11:49.820 Four arrested, one wanted after months-long Alberta drug traffic investigation in Grand Prairie.

00:11:54.300 Four people were arrested and another is being sought after a cache of drugs was seized following a months-long investigation,

00:12:01.760 said RCMP in Alberta.

00:12:03.080 Grand Prairie RCMP and the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team conducted the investigation that started in the fall of 2002.

00:12:10.380 So, good news, apparently they took 87 cartons of illegal cigarettes, which, whatever, but they also took off the streets nearly 1,600 grams of cocaine,

00:12:21.000 almost a kilo of fentanyl, and, wow, that's a lot, and 3,154 grams of methamphetamine during these searches.

00:12:30.960 You know, that's all good, but, I mean, what, they're going to hand them out in a safe drug house now?

00:12:37.420 This is kind of what I wanted to get to here, and it's different to Alberta.

00:12:41.840 Alberta has this different model.

00:12:43.560 They're working on recovery rather than safe supplies, but when you, I just kind of wanted to touch on the double standard,

00:12:49.820 and I don't know, maybe you're more aware of the situation in Quebec.

00:12:52.540 I know BC and Alberta pretty well.

00:12:55.420 The situation's pretty opposed, but Alberta has said, no, we're working towards recovery.

00:13:00.320 We're going to help people restore their lives.

00:13:02.400 BC's seemingly gone the other road.

00:13:05.080 How is the Quebec government handling this?

00:13:08.560 Are they handing out drugs for free?

00:13:10.320 Do they have a strong support system for people who do want recovery?

00:13:15.360 But we have, like, also, of course, like, the weed shop, and some people try to open a magic mushroom shop,

00:13:26.560 but it's been, like, three times that the shop has been raid, confiscated, and the owners keep reopening,

00:13:34.860 but the media is, like, going every time, and police also.

00:13:39.060 And they are arresting, like, people who actually go as a client, too, since it's illegal here in Canada.

00:13:45.320 But in terms of support, we don't see as much as maybe we can see in other parts of Canada for support for drug addicts.

00:13:57.480 There is some, but is there, like, really a lot, like, we know that we have a lot of lack of staff everywhere,

00:14:06.380 lack of services everywhere.

00:14:08.660 So, yes, they are, but is it effective?

00:14:11.900 I'm not sure about it.

00:14:13.020 And I'm assuming they do have, like, safe supplies and safe injection sites.

00:14:18.780 They tend to be pretty progressive on that front.

00:14:21.400 Is that something, or are they not doing it?

00:14:23.980 I think lots of problems to do.

00:14:25.400 If they don't, that's a good thing.

00:14:26.760 But is the government handing out drugs?

00:14:30.360 I didn't hear about any safe injection site.

00:14:34.780 If someone is aware of that, I know that I'm not aware in Quebec, and I'm not aware in Montreal.

00:14:41.880 I don't think we have as much problem with drugs.

00:14:46.160 I know there is more recently in the street of Montreal, especially in the old town of Montreal,

00:14:54.260 they had a report with, like, homeless people, drug addicts, and there is, like, a small crisis there.

00:15:03.640 But I didn't hear about a safe injection site where they can go, and especially, like, free supply also for the injection.

00:15:13.080 So, it didn't get to me about it and any, like, trouble or problem regarding that.

00:15:22.380 So, if someone has, like, some tips for me, just write to me.

00:15:27.860 Yeah, that's awesome.

00:15:28.760 That would be really good to know.

00:15:29.500 So, if there are folks out there watching in Quebec and you are familiar with a safe supply site or a safe injection site,

00:15:36.400 it would be good to know because I think if we're covering this, we've got helpnotharm.ca, I believe,

00:15:41.360 if not that, dot com, right across the country.

00:15:44.040 We're covering sort of, like, whether it be drug supplies being handed out for free or drugs being handed out for free

00:15:49.480 and how that's not a sympathetic or compassionate response to folks who are struggling out there.

00:15:55.580 So, I think, yeah, I'd be super interested to know.

00:15:58.880 So, if anyone does reach out to Alexa, Alexa, send me a message, too, because I'm very interested in that.

00:16:05.040 Really quickly here, before we jump to an ad break, there is just a breaking story here.

00:16:10.740 I just put it in Slack as well, and I think maybe we can touch on it.

00:16:14.920 But a retired RCMP officer charged with alleged China foreign interference, William Macher, excuse the pronunciation there,

00:16:24.380 a retired member of the Royal Canadian Mountain Police,

00:16:26.340 has been charged in connection with alleged foreign interference activities to benefit China following a two-year investigation,

00:16:32.500 the National Police Force says.

00:16:33.980 The 60-year-old from Hong Kong appeared in Quebec court virtually on Friday to face charges laid under the Security of Information Act.

00:16:41.540 He is charged with one count of preparatory acts for the benefit of a foreign entity and one count of conspiracy.

00:16:47.140 According to the investigation, Mr. Macher allegedly used his knowledge and extensive network of contacts in Canada

00:16:53.340 to obtain intelligence or services to benefit the People's Republic of China, RCMP says in the press release announcing the charges.

00:17:02.520 None of these allegations have been tested in court.

00:17:04.860 So I will just mention that these are allegedly.

00:17:07.740 Now, this is a good thing, I think, that they're actually volleying some of these charges.

00:17:13.440 But I'm wondering how much of a smokescreen this is when I think for anyone paying attention,

00:17:17.920 there's clearly foreign interference coming out of Justin Trudeau's office himself,

00:17:21.900 whether it be the funds that were funneled through a B.C. constituency

00:17:25.760 magically appeared in Trudeau's account for him to run or the police stations that have been managed or some of the other.

00:17:35.200 I mean, the list goes on of potential Chinese interference stories.

00:17:38.080 So if they're investigating this, that's great.

00:17:40.080 I, for one, am just wondering when there's actually going to be investigation into the person who should be held to the highest standards in this country.

00:17:45.260 And that's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

00:17:47.600 Any thoughts on that?

00:17:48.600 But since it's in Quebec, I'm going to dig a little bit on this story and try to maybe try to have, like,

00:17:57.620 interview with people who are involved in this investigation if they want to talk or maybe doing, like,

00:18:02.940 some access to information or email to know a little bit more information about what is going on with this RCMP officer.

00:18:13.880 Yeah, that's great.

00:18:14.520 I'm sure if anyone can get to the bottom of the story, it is our Alexa LaVoie.

00:18:18.600 On that note, let's jump to a quick ad break, and then we'll come back with some stories.

00:18:22.780 We'll talk a little bit about Alberta, and then we'll do some climate stuff as well.

00:18:27.360 How in the world could such a small group of people with limited resources change world history?

00:18:34.440 But in fact, that's happening, and it's the power of the truth.

00:18:37.780 The truth is like kryptonite.

00:18:39.400 Healthcare isn't, in some sense, working very well.

00:18:42.240 Foster Colson is thinking about this.

00:18:44.200 He's got a new company, an online healthcare platform called The Wellness Company.

00:18:48.040 Telehealth company called The Wellness Company.

00:18:50.100 The Wellness Company.

00:18:51.000 The most popular product is the detoxification supplement that features natokinase.

00:18:56.220 Natokinase is the only enzyme that we're aware of right now that dissolves the spike protein.

00:19:01.300 Spike protein is loaded in the body with the COVID-19 infection and definitely with the vaccines.

00:19:05.940 We've been completely accurate on the spread of the virus, early treatment, on the deficiencies in hospital care, and now the deaths that are occurring after vaccination.

00:19:16.500 This is a human outrage, and it's occurring at the end of a hypodermic needle.

00:19:21.900 Isn't it interesting?

00:19:23.300 Natural substances combating this man-made disaster.

00:19:26.560 No matter what, God will bring us through, and I said, we will not bow down to your gods.

00:19:37.480 For tickets, showtime details, and to see the trailer, please go to savethechristians.com.

00:19:42.900 My mug?

00:19:58.160 I know.

00:19:58.640 It's pretty cool.

00:19:59.740 So is this hoodie I got on, and you could have it on, too, if you check out our special website at rebelnewsstore.com.

00:20:07.160 That's where you can see Freedom Focus hoodies that we have for you, beanies, cell phone cases, you name it, all while supporting our journalism, where we fight to bring you the other side of the story, as opposed to, you know, being forced by the Trudeau government to fund leftist media out of your taxes.

00:20:25.360 The truth is, without you and your generosity, there is no rebel news.

00:20:30.640 So, again, if you like the reports that we bring you and that we also fight for freedoms in Canada, please consider doing some shopping, picking up some swag at rebelnewsstore.com.

00:20:42.760 We appreciate your support.

00:20:49.700 By the way, during the break, I did a little bit of research about the safe injection site, and I put it on Slack.

00:20:58.220 And recently, they did announce a funding of 1.2 million of dollars to tackle drug overdose.

00:21:12.560 So, yes, they are in Montreal, and they decided to, like, this is the minister, Lionel Carmin, who are involved in all this, and I'm wondering if that will work or not.

00:21:27.820 Do that, it's enough.

00:21:30.220 I hope that the money will go for the right action for avoiding as much as overdose as possible.

00:21:41.580 So, yes.

00:21:42.740 So, yeah, in Montreal, they are doing it also.

00:21:46.060 You know, one of the things I'd suggest, just looking at this article quickly here, when you see, like, decriminalization and social housing being the priorities rather than recovery hubs, like in Alberta, for example, they announced recovery centers, recovery beds.

00:22:03.140 The emphasis on the language is on actually helping the people get off the addiction.

00:22:09.140 When I see emphasis on things like decriminalization, and don't get me wrong, criminalization on drugs is not particularly effective, but an increased social housing.

00:22:17.140 And what that sounds like to me is a route towards giving these people a place to set up and do drugs that will eventually potentially come from the government.

00:22:25.860 So, I don't know.

00:22:27.740 Given Quebec's history on some social policy, I'd be surprised to see this go the right way.

00:22:32.700 But I'm hoping that, and I know Danielle Smith is extremely passionate about this.

00:22:37.660 We were at the adolescent, Alberta Adolescent Recovery Center, ARC, quite recently, and I had the opportunity to do an exclusive interview.

00:22:45.860 And she, along with many of the First Nations leaders and people right across the country, are extremely passionate about not only advocating for recovery,

00:22:53.720 but they're building this sort of Alberta model that they're hoping other areas, hopefully Quebec, hopefully BC, will start to see that there are benefits.

00:23:02.480 And with the exception of a few months that haven't statistically said that this system is working,

00:23:07.940 the overall trend suggests that actually believing in people and helping them reclaim their lives is a more effective strategy.

00:23:14.960 So, it remains to be seen.

00:23:16.000 I'm going to look into that as well, too, because I know we've had some coverage in Ontario and everything, too.

00:23:21.220 But, yeah, the Quebec story is always interesting.

00:23:23.220 You never know.

00:23:23.840 Some things, they're very much like Alberta, and they insist on doing things a certain way, and sometimes that's the right way.

00:23:30.380 Sometimes it's very progressive, though.

00:23:32.120 So, yeah, but thanks for pulling that up.

00:23:33.820 I think that's valuable.

00:23:34.940 I did want to touch there on one of the ads, savethechristians.com.

00:23:40.040 We do have, there are some dates there.

00:23:42.540 A good string of those dates have already passed.

00:23:45.280 But for our friends who are in British Columbia, I know for sure working on potentially a couple dates,

00:23:50.460 but there is a Whistler date set up.

00:23:52.140 That event is going to consist of not only a screening of this film, but I believe Sheila Gunn-Reed, the film sort of producer, executive producer, Kian Simone, will be there.

00:24:05.300 Tamara Leach will also be there.

00:24:06.760 So, they'll be selling her Hold the Line book, and I think she's going to be doing signing books as well, too.

00:24:12.180 We had an event like this in Calgary.

00:24:13.920 We actually had two screenings, but both completely sold out.

00:24:17.120 And then the event with Tamara was just so much fun.

00:24:20.000 So, you can get sort of two birds with one stone there.

00:24:23.780 You can check out the movie, and you can meet Tamara Leach, get a copy of her book, whether you buy it there or you have your own already, get it signed.

00:24:30.620 So, incredible event.

00:24:32.040 So much fun to be at.

00:24:33.700 One of our other ads there sort of ties in very nicely to our next story.

00:24:37.760 And that is the City of Calgary's plan to reintroduce fluoride into water.

00:24:42.800 Unsurprisingly, whatever you think about fluoride and water, and if you want to weigh in with this super chat, let us know.

00:24:49.260 And Alex, I don't know if you have any strong opinions on fluoride.

00:24:51.820 But we can talk really quickly about the unsurprising government outcome from this progressive GOT Gondek-led government that declares climate emergencies and does a whole bunch of other questionable things.

00:25:02.520 Well, it's going to take longer and cost more for the City of Calgary to reinstate water fluoridation at the City's two treatment plants.

00:25:10.260 A recent memo from City Administration shows the upfront cost of fluoridation ballooned to $28.1 million from the originally expected $10.1 million.

00:25:19.720 The City says that the new number is based on a fully designed and tendered project, which includes construction of a new building at the Berespa-Ire treatment plant, which it wasn't originally planned for.

00:25:30.280 It also takes into account inflationary impacts and supply chain challenges.

00:25:35.320 The article does go on if you are so interested.

00:25:38.360 But imagine if you had to head out to the field and they're like, what's the ticket going to cost?

00:25:44.800 You're like, oh, $500 probably.

00:25:46.800 And then you came back and said, oh, it's $1,500.

00:25:50.060 It's quite a departure that their original gas, and they added a facility.

00:25:54.140 I understand that.

00:25:54.980 But the fact they didn't know they needed an additional...

00:25:58.200 They're like, oh, yeah, we also need a building we forgot about.

00:26:00.760 And it's tripling the cost of the entire project.

00:26:03.640 I can't remember, and I don't think I'll pull it up on the fly.

00:26:06.680 I know that this was a ballot issue, and I don't know if the city, if Calgarians voted overwhelmingly in favor or if it was close.

00:26:13.680 But I don't know if they would have added, by the way, there's a $30 million price tag included in this for the consideration of voters when that vote was passed.

00:26:24.660 So, yeah, do you have any thoughts on that?

00:26:26.440 I don't know if the water's...

00:26:27.680 I don't know if there's fluoridation where you are or if you're...

00:26:30.440 I know some people are very passionate about fluoridation in water.

00:26:34.280 But I just know one thing.

00:26:36.400 When I'm in Quebec, because I'm in between Quebec and Montreal, so when I'm in Montreal, the water tastes so not good as when I'm in Quebec.

00:26:46.840 So we can actually see that they put probably chemical on the water for cleaning it and other stuff like that.

00:26:55.380 So it's why I'm always taking precaution, always boiling my water or using some breath out or other system to clean it afterwards.

00:27:09.420 Just to be careful because you never know what you're putting in your body.

00:27:14.160 So it's better to just clean it on your side to make sure that you drink something pure and you keep yourself in good shape.

00:27:24.720 Well, yeah, I know people who are on both sides of the conversations.

00:27:28.320 I think sort of freedom-oriented people, I think, seem to be a little bit opposed.

00:27:32.160 But I don't know.

00:27:32.860 I'm honestly a little bit on the fence.

00:27:34.460 I'd love some feedback from folks because I know the alleged benefits, anyways, of fluoridation.

00:27:41.320 And apparently, like, cavities just skyrocket when they remove fluoridation from the water.

00:27:47.260 So for folks who maybe don't have the best dental care, and that can lead to things like heart disease, all those other things.

00:27:53.020 So that's sort of the argument in favor.

00:27:55.380 They mentioned sort of folks with lower socioeconomic backgrounds taking advantage from this.

00:28:00.080 But then on the other side, there's the questions of what the fluorides do, chemicals in your body, how that affects your hormones, all of that.

00:28:06.360 So that'd be certainly an interesting conversation to take a scientific perspective and look at that.

00:28:11.900 I'm sure people out there are either applauding or shaking their fists angrily at the fact we don't have an opinion overtly one way or another.

00:28:19.200 But I think it is a conversation that Merritt's looking into.

00:28:23.000 Another conversation that Merritt's looking into but didn't end up happening was Federal Environment Minister, Mr. Goulbeau, shutting down the opportunity to meet with major oil sands company during his visit.

00:28:38.680 Canada's Environment Minister was in Alberta this week speaking to a handful of stakeholders and politicians about decarbonization and clean energy.

00:28:46.160 But Minister Steve Goulbeau turned down a request for a meeting with major oil and gas company CEOs during the trip amid industry anxiety about federal policies and timelines to reduce emissions.

00:28:57.560 The Pathways Alliance, a consortium of companies representing 95 percent of oil sands production, asked for time with the minister during his visit to Calgary on Tuesday and Wednesday.

00:29:07.780 You know, this says it all.

00:29:08.880 He was meeting with stakeholders, shareholders, politicians saying, oh, we need to reduce this and the carbon reduction, blah, blah, blah, 2035.

00:29:18.940 And then the people who make all of the energy and could potentially have one of the biggest impacts on this conversation were saying, let's meet to discuss.

00:29:27.200 And he's not willing to sit down with them.

00:29:29.100 How much of this sort of climate jargon is really just showing off for shareholders and voters?

00:29:37.320 And how much of it do you think is inclined towards actually changing something?

00:29:42.460 First of all, it's just an hypocrite because, OK, so you take your big car SUV and your travel are all across like the world.

00:29:51.800 And afterwards, you don't want to meet the people who permit you to do so, because I'm sorry, the plane are not electric and your car is not electric also.

00:30:00.800 So don't say to me that you don't want to meet them because like you want to virtue signal that you are for the climate change and we should not encourage oil and gas company.

00:30:15.180 But I'm sorry, you need them.

00:30:16.940 Yeah. And I mean, take a note, oil companies, I've talked to Brian Jean about this in our exclusive interview recently.

00:30:25.200 I've asked Danielle Smith this when she was actually pursuing the leadership.

00:30:29.460 But these parties, these these oil companies, they're continuing to play the game and pander and adhere to the rhetoric of this government, thinking that if they play ball, they're going to get to sit at the table.

00:30:42.620 But look at this. You have 95 percent of the production capacity saying, hey, can we have like 15, 20 minutes of your time?

00:30:50.540 He's like, no, thanks. I have to go meet with some politicians and stakeholders.

00:30:54.460 That's wild. It's absolutely inconceivable that someone if you if your actual intention was to sort of move the oil sector forward in a more environmental fashion,

00:31:06.460 have a tangible impact, keep these companies who are tense and maybe concerned about 20, 35 targets to keep them at the table and working productively.

00:31:17.600 You take this meeting. What this says is that they're that that Gilboa, that the Justin Trudeau government doesn't want to work with these companies and doesn't particularly care,

00:31:26.680 despite the fact that they're bending the knee, kowtowing and basically engaging in the language that this government has very intentionally and in Orwellian fashion said.

00:31:36.320 They're saying this is the way we're going to have this conversation.

00:31:38.780 You're going to be apologizing and groveling. And then when you do that, we're not even going to meet you at the table.

00:31:43.400 I hope for one and we can jump to our next tweet here that these governments start to realize they need to or these these companies rather realize that they need to start sort of putting their weight behind

00:31:55.400 or at least collaborating with governments and parties that are willing to support the industries that have helped make Canada wealthy, particularly Alberta wealthy.

00:32:03.540 And by extension, we send quite a bit of that over to your province, among others.

00:32:08.580 But Daniel Smith finally learning a lesson from Quebec, I think it's funny.

00:32:13.660 Quebec can can advocate for themselves. And there seems to be very little criticism, whether it be from Trudeau, whether it be from whether it be from mainstream media,

00:32:23.080 because they still sort of need those votes. They don't feel like they need Alberta's votes anymore.

00:32:27.760 But Daniel Smith is not backing down.

00:32:30.800 And I had a bit of concern, but she's been pretty much a stalwart as far as pushing back this tweet from her covering the 2035 net zero cost,

00:32:41.160 which she has said is impossible, valuated at one point seven trillion dollars or sixty one thousand dollars per taxpayer.

00:32:51.740 That is a troubling amount, not to mention is it is a troubling and it'd be devastating.

00:32:57.360 But it also it's not tenable. Experts and many people on Daniel Smith's team and Daniel Smith herself, they're not against this.

00:33:04.440 They're saying, listen, by 2050, we're going to have the capacity to do this.

00:33:07.800 It might just naturally unfold anyways as technology progresses.

00:33:11.560 But 2035 is a Chinese communist leap forward manifesto type move that would destroy our industries.

00:33:18.380 It's analogous to you can see places where they're asking people not to charge their cars, their electric cars, because the grid can't handle it.

00:33:26.320 They don't have enough power while bringing in restrictions and banning fuel based cars.

00:33:31.060 It's completely it's completely not possible.

00:33:35.560 Daniel Smith says in her tweet, if the federal government chooses to forge ahead recklessly with their 2035 net zero agenda,

00:33:41.480 Canada's middle and low income families will pay an extraordinary price, not to mention the loss of businesses and jobs.

00:33:47.960 This ties into what you just said, Alexa.

00:33:50.040 We have people who they probably can afford a few Teslas easily.

00:33:54.320 They're jetting across the country every day.

00:33:56.980 They take these massive SUV excursion vehicles.

00:33:59.660 I don't know if you've seen how many vehicles are in Justin Trudeau's like like convoy whenever he goes anywhere.

00:34:06.780 It makes it makes a presidential convoy look modest.

00:34:09.140 And they're telling us we need to smarten up.

00:34:12.700 What do you think of the double standard among these politicians?

00:34:17.480 It's always double standard.

00:34:19.560 It's like don't eat me, but I will eat me.

00:34:22.600 Don't don't use like a gas car or or car because it's not good for climate change when they are using it themselves.

00:34:33.060 Of course, like they don't have the time to stop at, I don't know, like a charging point for 45 minutes to charge a car.

00:34:42.480 It's why they are using the most reliable source of energy for a car.

00:34:48.620 That's mean oil, petrol.

00:34:52.020 It's what we need.

00:34:54.040 And it's always been like that.

00:34:57.300 But I'm wondering how long it will take for Justin Trudeau to now stigmatize people who use oil, gas car and like people work in that industry.

00:35:10.960 Industry, like what it did for the unvaccinated people.

00:35:15.960 Yeah, a fringe minority, extremist outliers who we should not tolerate driving their their their fuel powered cars.

00:35:24.360 Yeah.

00:35:24.500 How far are we from that?

00:35:25.540 The other thing that I find so funny, too, is like these people like Trudeau has like nannies and a whole team and everything.

00:35:31.280 Meanwhile, those of us out here in the world with kids, he thinks we can have our kids parked for 45 minutes or standing on the side of the road in winter in Alberta waiting for our vehicle to charge.

00:35:43.120 But these people who have a whole team around them, they can't possibly use that technology because it's not feasible.

00:35:48.500 There's a disconnect there.

00:35:49.640 Listen, once we have renewable energy and if we were to get massive dams or if we were to get like nuclear energy and there was a super abundance of electricity and the mileage range on electric vehicles got higher.

00:36:02.940 The towing capacity and the sort of speed attainability, not to mention the self-driving benefits, which I understand there's concerns with self-driving, too.

00:36:12.780 But if you look at all the benefits of electric, once it becomes tenable, once the energy is renewable, once all those things are in place, they probably will take over.

00:36:22.940 But it has to happen organically.

00:36:25.500 Government's forcing it.

00:36:26.700 They likely set these things back, if anything.

00:36:29.140 No government initiative, other than maybe grants that helped the technology in the very beginning, has advanced electric cars in any practical way.

00:36:36.980 Elon Musk making cool Teslas that people want to drive and competing on the open market.

00:36:41.660 That is what made electric cars sort of viable and that's why you see them on the road.

00:36:46.540 It has nothing to do with government policies.

00:36:48.620 And frankly, like I said, I think government policies, if anything, will set them back.

00:36:54.240 One of the things we touched on there.

00:36:56.320 Sorry, go ahead if you have something on that as well.

00:36:57.900 No, it's just because they want us to turn completely electric.

00:37:03.300 But right now in Quebec, we know that we lost one contract with Volkswagen because we didn't have enough power to give to them.

00:37:15.060 So we lost that.

00:37:16.620 So they went to another province and also they were also talking to reduce our electricity usage as like maybe washing during the night or other like option like that.

00:37:32.980 And now they want us to electrify everything, car, home, industry, everything.

00:37:39.200 And we know that the cost will rise to a point because now we don't have enough energy.

00:37:46.520 They don't want to build more dam because the dam is not good for the environment.

00:37:52.200 And they are saying, but we probably need to turn to solar or the air power, wind power.

00:38:02.160 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but this is not reliable enough to sustain like as much people as that.

00:38:08.860 So people would think that if they have an electric car will save them money or I have like a surprise for you, probably in the future, your electricity bill will rise up so high that you will pay more to charge your car and to live your life than just going to the gas station and put some gas in your car.

00:38:29.120 Yeah, 100 percent.

00:38:31.020 That is what will happen if this is forced forward.

00:38:34.220 The other thing like the other thing that really doesn't make any sense is like eventually solar panels will probably get to the point, maybe not in a place that's winter half the year.

00:38:41.440 But I know Calgary is one of the sunniest cities.

00:38:43.620 So you look at a place like Calgary, it is a place where this could potentially work.

00:38:46.820 But you don't need to.

00:38:47.840 And this is the problem is this is the way the government thinks of this stuff.

00:38:50.800 They're like in the name of the environment, we're going to clear cut a forest in order to plant solar farms.

00:38:56.080 Well, there's roofs right across every single city already in place and you don't need to cut down and clear cut forests in order to implement solar panels.

00:39:06.620 In fact, once they become viable and once they become a cost savings and if the government's actually willing, I know in some cases they're trying to tax people for electricity from their own solar panels.

00:39:16.720 But if you can get unlimited electricity from very efficient panels on your own roof, we're on the threshold.

00:39:22.600 I do know people who have solar panels on their roof and they're starting to actually get a bit of money back.

00:39:27.780 It's starting to pay for itself.

00:39:29.800 Once that technology, as we said, openly advances and is good enough that it's economically viable, it's going to compete.

00:39:37.380 But if you look at anything government funded, look at the cell phone from when you were like in high school until compare that to the cell phone now.

00:39:45.960 That's the open market.

00:39:47.220 By comparison, if you look at a space shuttle, NASA's still using space shuttles from like 1974.

00:39:54.420 They haven't changed.

00:39:55.380 They're almost the same technology.

00:39:56.680 SpaceX, different story.

00:39:58.080 But anything that seems to get into that government vein, it doesn't evolve, it doesn't change.

00:40:02.680 Things on the free market, there's competition.

00:40:05.220 If you can get better for less money, you're going to get picked up.

00:40:07.560 But that's the best thing we can do.

00:40:09.280 And until that technology advances, the best thing that Alberta can do for the world is export our energy because it's more ethical in terms of human rights and it's more ethical environmentally.

00:40:18.780 The technology just isn't there.

00:40:20.380 And whether it's Stephen Gilboa or progressives on social media or someone who's never done anything for everyone else but drives an electric car and they think that's a good deed.

00:40:29.000 Once those people come to terms with that reality and stop trying to virtue signal and instead just buy things that work, the environment is going to benefit.

00:40:39.280 And all these sort of utopic left-wing environmental ideas, they're going to happen because of the government pushing it.

00:40:45.640 They're going to happen when they become viable.

00:40:48.220 Another thing that this ties into perfectly here, though, is, and this is a sign from British Columbia, Kat Canada tweeted this out, and for the 15-minute city conspiracists out there, well, hey, you can put another one, you can check that off, another point for the conspiracy theorists, because this livable community is 15-minute city ready.

00:41:10.780 You know, the original intention behind 15-minute cities is a good one.

00:41:18.140 And just bear with me.

00:41:19.440 Let me say this first.

00:41:21.820 So the original sort of thought process, and then it was co-opted by WEF globalists who wanted to control your life, was let's make sort of old-school, small-town-feeling communities.

00:41:31.540 And there are some that are quite expensive and nice in Calgary that are, if you want to live here, you can.

00:41:37.400 We're not going to lock you in.

00:41:38.680 And the intention was you can walk everywhere, access everything.

00:41:42.440 There's a sense of community.

00:41:43.840 There's a central square.

00:41:44.980 It's kind of like what towns used to be like.

00:41:47.180 But the government just has to go and ruin that and make it into this terrible, terrible thing where they're restricting you and it's for the environment.

00:41:54.240 This is part of the reason they want you in an electric car that can't go very far at all.

00:41:57.780 Do you think that's the heart of this, whether it's electric cars, whether it's these types of 15-minute cities?

00:42:03.980 It's just about controlling you, limiting you, closing you off from the world, making you feel isolated?

00:42:10.160 But I would say I was thinking like you.

00:42:12.660 I was like, this is actually a such good idea because you always want to have everything close to you if you don't want to take your car

00:42:22.180 or you just want to be able to go and walk to take something close from you.

00:42:27.980 But I think it's like what we saw, especially emerging for China, is like, well, you cannot pass to a district to another without being scanned or being like allowed to go.

00:42:41.660 And especially, I'm just wondering, like, why do you want to do that?

00:42:50.020 Because at the end of the day, everybody is right now capable to afford to go and take your grocery, to go to the drugstore or anywhere.

00:43:01.440 That's never been a problem, never been a problem for nobody.

00:43:07.140 But the goal behind that is what you say.

00:43:13.200 It's like the restriction limit for protecting the planet, for climate change.

00:43:19.400 And especially, like, at one point, why wanting the digital ID?

00:43:25.040 Why wanting an electric car?

00:43:27.800 Because all those things, it's easily controllable.

00:43:33.640 Yeah, yeah.

00:43:34.600 And I think that that's the core of it.

00:43:36.420 It's just it's turning a positive so often.

00:43:39.420 Like, oh, Elon Musk has these cool cars.

00:43:41.200 Let's make them accessible for everyone and make this technology more available.

00:43:44.560 You're not allowed to have cars anymore.

00:43:47.000 You have to do this.

00:43:47.900 No, just go away, government.

00:43:49.680 Like, oh, a community developer is coming up with this idea where if people just want to, like, work at home, have everything in their community, we're going to make sure all those things are there.

00:43:59.080 Then the government comes in.

00:44:00.460 15-minute cities, District 13-type nightmare scenarios where you're checking in and out of security gates in order to leave your neighborhood.

00:44:08.300 They just take something positive and make it negative.

00:44:10.420 It's always in the interest of control.

00:44:12.280 So, yeah, but just to see the 15-minute city ready rolled out there, that is something else.

00:44:18.560 One more story I wanted to touch on before our next ad break.

00:44:22.860 And this is in the vein of a – sorry, do you have one more thing there?

00:44:26.640 Oh, no, I just wanted to know that in Montreal, too, they are actually, like, building the 15-minute city.

00:44:32.460 But the mayor already started it.

00:44:36.940 But I'm not really surprised since Barrette Blanc, as I said before, she's in the C40 cities.

00:44:45.400 She's part of it.

00:44:47.220 And she's going pretty fast to that plan.

00:44:51.840 And she took, like, a part of Montreal where it's already delimited to the 15-minute city, already started.

00:45:01.020 Right.

00:45:01.600 Yeah, it's spreading fast and not organically.

00:45:08.060 We've covered a bunch of stories over the last little while here with, like, extreme heat and then maps, the same temperatures as 10 years ago that are all red now.

00:45:18.480 And the same temperatures were green not long ago.

00:45:20.980 So just another story in that vein before we get to our commercial break.

00:45:25.980 Popular tourist spots are dangerously hot, and some Albertans are choosing to stay awake.

00:45:31.220 Guys, you're not going to believe this.

00:45:33.960 Places like California, Arizona, Spain, and Italy are warm.

00:45:40.300 And in a shocking development, those places are known to be hot.

00:45:44.180 I remember when I was a young man, those were hot ski destinations, every single one of those.

00:45:51.120 And people would go there because in the middle of summer, you could ski.

00:45:54.200 It was completely winter.

00:45:55.400 But because of global warming now, these places are so hot that people can't go there.

00:46:00.640 I'm being a little bit tongue-in-cheek here, but these are places that we have known forever are very hot.

00:46:06.920 And people go there because it's very hot.

00:46:09.760 That's why people go to these places.

00:46:11.760 They have beaches.

00:46:12.620 They always have.

00:46:14.000 It's part of the lifestyle, and they've been advertised as being hot forever.

00:46:17.620 Now, though, with this new media agenda, people can't go there because these places, and they actually list Spain, Italy, California, and Arizona as places that are hot.

00:46:29.980 And that's concerning now.

00:46:31.440 There's really not much to say here.

00:46:33.260 It's just kind of silly.

00:46:34.940 I think if there is any impact on the tourism industry, it's that the media is scaring people and convincing them.

00:46:42.460 The overall temperature is up at most over the course of 40 years, I think, or 25 years, something like that.

00:46:47.900 But 0.7 degrees, if you trust the records, that's not a noticeable amount to people on a daily basis.

00:46:57.540 Yeah, wild.

00:46:58.700 And from someone who did travel since 15 years, okay, it's what I was doing for most of my life, traveling, traveling everywhere,

00:47:08.100 because I was avoiding spending my time here during winter because it was too cold, so I was always away.

00:47:16.540 It's always been hot.

00:47:18.000 Everywhere I was traveling, it was burning sometimes, so hot that I was sometimes dehydrated, and I was, like, suffering sometimes.

00:47:27.400 But this has been 15 years ago of that.

00:47:30.380 And I'm just wondering, because me, during the time I was traveling, it was not, don't travel there because it's too hot.

00:47:38.040 It was, don't travel there because it's not safe.

00:47:40.560 And it was, like, don't go there, it's not safe, it's not safe.

00:47:43.840 And I've been to all those countries that they say, oh, it's not safe.

00:47:48.160 I've never been in trouble.

00:47:50.680 And I'm just wondering if it's not the new standard.

00:47:54.420 Don't go there because it's not safe.

00:47:56.580 No.

00:47:56.940 Yeah.

00:47:57.440 Don't go there because it's hot.

00:47:58.780 Yeah, don't, guys, this is very important.

00:48:02.080 If you take one thing away from this, do not go to Italy, Spain, California, or Arizona because it's hot there.

00:48:09.600 Very dangerous.

00:48:11.560 Yeah, something else.

00:48:12.760 You know, I just want, it's nonstop.

00:48:14.380 Every week we're going to have some story making it seem like it's so hot and dangerous out there.

00:48:19.260 On that note, we're overdue for an ad break.

00:48:21.000 We're going to do an ad break there.

00:48:21.920 We're going to come back and we're going to fly through some stories as we're coming up against the end of the hour.

00:48:25.820 And we have some chats coming up as well, too.

00:48:27.600 So get your chats in now so we can touch on them.

00:48:30.140 But let's do one more ad break.

00:48:32.820 In a world plagued by conformity where truth is distorted, freedom is a distant memory.

00:48:38.980 And Big Brother is always watching.

00:48:41.100 One man, Winston Smith, looks to break through his bleak existence.

00:48:44.720 Introducing the all-new Rebel Illustrated Classics edition of George Orwell's iconic book, 1984.

00:48:51.980 Now, more than ever, in the age of lockdowns, 15-minute cities, and World Economic Forum globalism, everyone must read 1984.

00:49:01.420 Uncover the hidden depths of this literary classic with our exclusive illustrated edition that brings Orwell's haunting vision to life.

00:49:08.200 You see that Orwell is not only explaining what might come, but in my opinion, what's already here, even back when he wrote it in 1949, but much more so as we see revealed today, particularly with the last three years.

00:49:28.920 Join the rebellion against conformity.

00:49:31.360 Get your hands on the Rebel Illustrated Classics edition of 1984.

00:49:35.340 Now available at buy1984.com.

00:49:38.200 Adam, I was just thinking, I say, soon you will see in the news, they will say, don't come to Quebec and Montreal because you will be overfloating.

00:49:53.420 It's too wet and humid.

00:49:56.600 Yeah, and don't come to the Canadian Rockies in winter.

00:49:59.200 There's too much snow.

00:50:01.420 You'll have to ski or snowboard if you come to the Rockies.

00:50:04.220 Troubling, troubling developments, tourist locations, experiencing weather they're known for, breaking news.

00:50:14.680 Now, back to Trudeau.

00:50:16.720 A couple of Trudeau stories.

00:50:18.860 Majority of Canadians, the only real news here is that it's shocking that it's not all Canadians, but majority of Canadians think Trudeau government spends too much and on the wrong things.

00:50:29.480 Fewer than one in four Canadians believe that the federal government is spending on the right things, while two in three say their tax burden is too high.

00:50:36.620 Those numbers are shocking.

00:50:38.000 It should be like 95 percent, 95 percent across the board.

00:50:41.980 A little bit concerning for the upcoming election.

00:50:45.200 But yeah, other findings include that two in three Canadians recognize that increased government spending contributes to inflation.

00:50:51.220 It not only contributes to it, it's the, by most economic standards, the primary and often one of the only major driving forces in inflation.

00:51:01.500 Turns out printing money devalues money.

00:51:03.540 Shocking development.

00:51:05.840 Not only do Canadians find that the Trudeau government spends too much, but they also find that it spends unwisely, said Renaud Brossard, senior director of communications at MEI in a statement.

00:51:15.040 Seems to indicate a disconnect between the Department of Finance and the people whose money is entrusted in its care.

00:51:19.740 I love this by contrast to what we're seeing in Alberta, for example.

00:51:24.740 Daniel Smith saying things, well, it's not our money, it's your money.

00:51:27.780 We should take less of it because it's not our money.

00:51:30.280 Rick McIver saying we need basic competent government.

00:51:33.100 We need to back away from all this.

00:51:34.820 The Trudeau government probably spends more on orange juice than past governments spent on national defense.

00:51:40.300 Like, it's absolutely unbelievable.

00:51:42.160 And it's manifest in every single thing, whether it be the massive unneeded motorcades, the nonstop jet flights, the governor general under Trudeau spending $71,000 on limousine fares on one trip.

00:51:56.780 Just everything about this government from the top down, including the mass hiring, just reeks of sort of entitlement and sort of just Laurentian elitism right across the board.

00:52:08.820 Is the sentiment the same in French Canada?

00:52:12.160 Oh, yeah, it is.

00:52:13.760 And I find that really despicable that all taxpayers need to pay so much money for those bureaucrat politicians to live an upper scale life.

00:52:29.140 When majority of Canadians are now suffering from inflation and try to survive and pay their bill and survive and feed their family.

00:52:41.520 But they need to contribute for them to have like a fancy time away and live their life as most of Canadians would love to maybe experiment one day of how they live their life.

00:52:56.360 Yeah, even I remember not that long ago, there's a story about like, I think it was a third or two thirds of the way through the year, like the Trudeau household had spent like $180,000 or $130,000 on groceries alone.

00:53:09.740 Like, that's more than most families make.

00:53:12.740 And that was just their grocery bill.

00:53:14.780 And how often do they eat out?

00:53:16.420 Like, that was the grocery bill at the house they're barely at, not the massive expenditures beyond that.

00:53:21.420 Now, this is a sentiment, not just in Alberta, not just in Quebec, but right across this country.

00:53:26.800 In Ontario, we saw a trip in Belleville cut short after protesters swarmed the motorcade.

00:53:33.340 The thing that killed me about this is some of the apologists on social media saying like, political discord has fallen apart.

00:53:40.200 There's no respect.

00:53:41.560 Well, you have a guy who calls people a fringe minority who really shouldn't be tolerated.

00:53:45.820 You have a guy spending like nobody's business, denigrating people, sort of saying he understands when churches are being burnt down en masse.

00:53:54.520 This isn't Canadians.

00:53:56.020 Canadians aren't inherently an angry.

00:53:58.580 Quebecers may be a little bit more, but Canadians, I think generally, they don't tend to protest.

00:54:04.340 They don't tend to be angry about things.

00:54:06.780 They don't tend to yell their opinions.

00:54:08.600 But this government, Justin Trudeau's government, particularly COVID-19, has exasperated things, but they have brought this on because they are just so outlandish.

00:54:17.760 It's wild.

00:54:18.860 The amount of sort of negative things.

00:54:20.620 I don't know if you looked at the ethics violations of every previous prime minister, and not to mention we know how bad he is, budget driving sort of more debt than everyone combined prior to him.

00:54:31.060 But if you looked at the amount of scandals and ethics violations and questionable things of all leadership in this country's history, including Justin Trudeau's dad, and compared it to Justin Trudeau, who do you think would have more scandals and more questionable conduct?

00:54:46.800 Is it really a question?

00:54:48.660 Is it Justin Trudeau?

00:54:49.900 Of course.

00:54:51.380 Yeah.

00:54:51.600 And by the way, this is something that I find that really surprising.

00:54:56.100 In Quebec, when Justin Trudeau is in, there is no protest.

00:55:00.960 Like, I've been chasing him, like, around in Quebec or Trois-Rivières or other places in Quebec.

00:55:08.240 But when he's in town, it seems like no one is protesting against him.

00:55:13.780 It's really mostly in Ontario.

00:55:17.660 I would say, like, Ontario, they are really there.

00:55:20.680 Like, when Justin Trudeau is in town somewhere, if it's Toronto or Belleville or Ottawa, there is always protesters who wait for him.

00:55:32.880 And I don't know if you noticed, but in Belleville, there was, like, a lot of protesters.

00:55:39.580 But did you see, like, recently the video when he is there for speaking about democracy?

00:55:46.080 And he actually asked the police to put the people out, the people who are standing up against him, to try to speak up and challenge him.

00:55:58.720 Did he just, like, look at the police and just say, like, get them out?

00:56:02.960 Like, I was like, okay, you are here for talking democracy?

00:56:06.540 So why you don't want to hurt, like, different point of view about what is going on?

00:56:12.720 Yeah.

00:56:13.060 Well, and it isn't just, this is the thing is, he was at the First Nations or Indigenous Games of some sort.

00:56:19.880 He was booed.

00:56:21.660 He comes to the Calgary Stampede.

00:56:23.480 He's booed.

00:56:24.340 He has a dinner.

00:56:24.920 Now, Alberta's different.

00:56:25.780 He tends to be as cautious as he can about letting people know.

00:56:29.220 They go out of their way to hide where he's going to be.

00:56:31.960 It's a task to try and track him down.

00:56:33.920 Even then, there's protests.

00:56:35.500 But, I mean, this is, it's everybody.

00:56:37.980 It's, you can go to First Nations communities, they'll boo you.

00:56:40.900 You can go to Conservative Alberta Stampede, people are going to be there booing you.

00:56:45.000 And it's universal.

00:56:46.200 There's always, there's always going to be sort of one outlier who's yelling and screaming, no matter who is in charge.

00:56:51.680 That's, that's, there's always someone who's willing to throw a pie or crack an egg on someone's head.

00:56:55.680 But when it's everybody in unison, that, that should tell you something.

00:57:01.080 And if you don't get that, which Trudeau doesn't, he's, like we said, incapable of saying, looking in the mirror and saying, am I the problem?

00:57:07.480 I hate to drop Taylor Swift again, but you think, you think he'd say it's me, I'm the problem at some point.

00:57:13.680 But, yeah, I don't know.

00:57:14.760 He seems incapable of it.

00:57:16.520 One thing, though, if you don't mind that I want to contrast to this.

00:57:20.880 The media's attention on Pierre Polier for calling this $540,000 Niagara home a tiny little shack, that, that got more attention than Trudeau, like evicting journalists and, and cops pushing people.

00:57:37.120 Or in the mainstream media, it probably got more attention than the lady getting trampled by the horse.

00:57:41.440 This, this is, the, the contrast is, is wild.

00:57:44.300 And the point that he's making is this, this is a small-ish home, tiny little shack, sure.

00:57:50.380 Maybe that was a little insensitive towards the person who owns the house, but that is a very small home.

00:57:55.980 It looks slightly shack-ish at a quick photo, but that's a small, moderate home that an average person should be able to afford.

00:58:04.260 And it's $540,000.

00:58:07.180 What?

00:58:07.200 Yeah, and in Poland, the median house price is $600,000.

00:58:14.400 Wow.

00:58:14.580 It might be higher than that, your average house.

00:58:16.840 And then if you talk about Toronto, like my house in Toronto, it's a small, relatively modest house, would be like $1.4 million.

00:58:24.740 Like, Vancouver's the same.

00:58:26.300 The point that he was making is, is what media should really be outraged about.

00:58:30.560 And it's how Justin Trudeau, whether it's groceries, whether it's house prices, we've seen rent and mortgages double.

00:58:36.760 Just in eight years under Justin Trudeau, everything is getting untenable.

00:58:40.340 But what they focus in on, all the media is, oh, he called this house a tiny little shack.

00:58:45.300 Sure, was it the most eloquent words?

00:58:47.240 But it just speaks to the double standards within media, doesn't it?

00:58:51.040 Yeah, but in the same time, he's a little bit right.

00:58:53.680 This is a really tiny shack because there is like a, and especially for the price, because there is like a house selling that far away, beautiful house, you know, and it's $200,000 less than that.

00:59:09.840 And I find that outrageous to see the price when you see the house.

00:59:14.200 And especially, I'm just thinking that it's looked like there is a lot of reparation to put in this house also.

00:59:21.760 Yeah, yeah, it's got some work required for sure.

00:59:25.540 Hey, that's a perfect metaphor for Justin Trudeau's Canada.

00:59:30.180 We're up against the hour here.

00:59:32.140 We have two more stories I want to touch on really quickly.

00:59:34.280 And then we're lucky to have some chats.

00:59:36.600 So we will go through those.

00:59:38.620 I want to talk about Italy.

00:59:40.060 I know no one's allowed to go there because it's dangerously hot.

00:59:45.320 So forewarning just before we talk about this story, even hearing this story may cause global warming.

00:59:50.980 So be careful.

00:59:51.760 But Italy is tackling some of this radical progressivism.

00:59:58.640 Before you go a little bit further.

01:00:00.200 Yes.

01:00:00.740 Oh, we can go to Italy.

01:00:02.240 Is it because it's like really right wing hot country?

01:00:07.680 Because it seems like they want to punish that country for like doing so many right wing like decisions.

01:00:15.860 Yeah, yeah, they have like they're having family days and they're doing all this stuff.

01:00:21.140 And now the latest thing, and this is most of it being, I think, driven by, well, one of the popular vote, but also Prime Minister Giorgio Maloney, who I think she turned Pride Month into Family Month, which was a good starter.

01:00:35.040 But Italy is starting to remove lesbian mothers' names from children's birth certificates.

01:00:40.400 You know, I'm happy to see the rejection.

01:00:42.980 And I'm very much a firm believer that, and this is a shocking statement, I know affirming biology, but two people of the same gender can't have a child.

01:00:52.720 So, yeah, it's interesting to see the broad implications of this, but generally there is a pushback starting in Italy and in places across the world, whether it be Gays Against Groomers or lots of these other movements.

01:01:05.460 But let's read a bit here.

01:01:06.500 The northern Italian city of Padua, home of St. Anthony, my little Catholic edition there, has started removing the names of non-biological gay mothers from the children's birth certificates under new legislation passed by the traditional family first government of aforementioned Prime Minister.

01:01:22.720 These birth certificates belonged to 33 children of Italian women who underwent artificial insemination abroad and then registered their children under the city's center-left government, led by Sergio Giordani in 2017.

01:01:35.520 Prosecutor's office in Padua confirmed to CNN, as of Thursday, 27 mothers have been removed from 27 birth certificates.

01:01:42.680 So they effectively went out of the country, sought artificial insemination, progressive local municipal government made them official birth certificates.

01:01:51.120 And then the Italian government is saying, ah, I don't think so.

01:01:54.480 Now, I certainly hope they're not intervening and removing children from their parents' care once the children are already in that situation.

01:02:01.720 But this does seem a concrete repudiation and opposition to what we're seeing everywhere else in the world, which seems to be a celebration of this.

01:02:10.440 Another thing that ties into this exactly is the Miss Italy pageant banning transgender competitors.

01:02:17.120 The owner of Miss Italia pageant, Patrizia Mirigliani, has announced biological males are banned from competing in the women's beauty contest.

01:02:25.900 My competition provides in its rules clarification that you must be a woman from birth.

01:02:30.660 The move comes after a transgender model won the Miss Universe Netherlands, sparking backlash across the world.

01:02:35.920 You know what? Thank God. This should happen in sports. This should happen in these pageants, obviously.

01:02:41.480 Because the thing is that, and there's a video recently of like a figure skater, former male figure skater, biological male, competing in skating.

01:02:50.160 And they're very often dreadful. They aren't actually competing. They don't give the most eloquent answers.

01:02:56.000 It's not as though they're transitioning and then they're actually much better, which, I mean, we see that in sports.

01:03:02.260 Often they transition and then they dominate. But in a beauty pageant, these people, the photos we're circulating, are objectively not as beautiful and aren't competing on the same level.

01:03:12.120 But they're simply being given awards. There's no way that all these women of the year that have gone to former males or biological males are actually the best women on the planet.

01:03:22.020 But what happens is, in this spirit and age of, ultimately, they claim it's feminism, but what it is is deletion of femininity.

01:03:30.180 They're just handing these out to anybody who suits this agenda.

01:03:34.360 Alexa, you can speak to this better than I can.

01:03:36.380 As a woman, what's it like to see just any male who's willing to transition being given every award that a woman could potentially get?

01:03:44.580 But I find that a little bit despicable because, in the same time, like, it's supposed to be the environment of women.

01:03:55.840 It's always been pageant for beauty.

01:03:58.740 I've always been, like, the whole world of women.

01:04:03.620 And we see something as basic as that taking away from the women.

01:04:08.560 And we talk after that, like, sports, we talk about the bathroom, we talk about where is the safe space for women?

01:04:17.180 Where are the feminists?

01:04:19.340 Where are the feminists?

01:04:20.920 They are supposed to protect the women.

01:04:23.280 I'm sorry, you are a biological male who dress as a woman.

01:04:29.600 If you want to be like that, I have no problem with it.

01:04:33.400 Do whatever you want.

01:04:34.740 It's your life.

01:04:35.640 But don't come and take the space that women have fought for a long time to have their safe space and to have their own, if it's not their own pageant, it would be their own sport, it would be their own, like, challenge.

01:04:54.300 Please let them battle and be with other women.

01:04:59.480 And don't be scared to lose in front of biological men.

01:05:05.940 And, by the way, for the birth certificate, I will say that I'm agreeing with that because it should be the biological person who gives you birth.

01:05:16.780 Because when we go back and we want to have the genetic tree, we need to know where your genetic is coming from.

01:05:25.140 And if it's someone who did adopt you or didn't give you your genetic, you can have an accurate genetic background of your life.

01:05:36.560 Yeah, yeah, no, it's a factual record.

01:05:42.140 Now, if down the line they put some sort of addendum or there's a way to qualify that, but this clearly seems to be that the country has a way they document these things and this progressive council sought to undermine that.

01:05:53.740 So it seems like they are righting Iran.

01:05:56.480 There's lots of sort of protests around the country and abroad on the front of Let Kids Be Kids.

01:06:03.400 I think you've hit the nail on the head with the Let Women Be Women, perhaps a new movement that needs to be started by Alexa Lebois.

01:06:10.700 One more story for the day here.

01:06:13.120 It was in the headline, so we do want to touch on it.

01:06:15.660 And this article has me saying,

01:06:17.580 Quebec public health insurer hangs up on Anglophone woman for speaking in English.

01:06:27.540 Quebec promised Bill 96 wouldn't affect access to health care.

01:06:30.680 Turns out health care doesn't include public health insurance.

01:06:33.640 As we're up against the hour, I won't go into all the details, but basically someone was having quite a bit of trouble accessing health care.

01:06:41.160 And when he called the public servant on the phone, speaking in English, when she called rather, he said,

01:06:48.840 I don't have to speak to you in English, speak French.

01:06:51.360 And I said, I can't speak enough for you to understand me or for me to understand you.

01:06:55.580 He said, then get somebody.

01:06:57.760 I said, I can't.

01:06:58.540 I'm alone.

01:06:59.560 A person clearly needing help.

01:07:02.040 Sergio accounted.

01:07:02.940 I said, is there nobody there who can speak English to me?

01:07:06.820 And then they hung up.

01:07:09.480 You know what?

01:07:10.220 Like, Quebec wants to affirm their sort of national identity.

01:07:14.700 Alberta needs to take a lesson from Quebec on that front.

01:07:18.380 And Daniel Smith is starting to do some of those things.

01:07:21.180 But when you're so stubborn, I'm sure you've seen this in Ottawa.

01:07:26.320 They want people to be bilingual.

01:07:28.300 People can barely speak English and they qualify it as bilingual.

01:07:32.600 But someone goes into Quebec or is trying to access government services and they don't have the right accent in French.

01:07:38.580 And there's a glaring, again, double standard seems to be the theme of the day.

01:07:43.560 But that double standard has existed for a long time.

01:07:46.100 But when it gets to the point where someone is literally refusing a service that is being provided for, that's problematic, isn't it?

01:07:54.260 It is.

01:07:56.040 And it's not okay.

01:07:57.820 Imagine the distress of the person who called for having help.

01:08:02.680 And she's been refused because she's speaking in English.

01:08:06.580 I know what it is to struggle to try to explain what is going on.

01:08:10.900 And I'm sorry, but Quebec has created an handicap for all Quebecer to have like, just like in school, to have an education for English really poor.

01:08:25.040 So you're not really interested to learn English.

01:08:28.020 And most of the Quebecer, I'm not talking about Montreal because Montreal is bilingual pretty well.

01:08:36.240 But for the rest of the province, I would say that a lot of people don't speak a word in English.

01:08:43.940 And we see like the big barrier that that creates.

01:08:47.460 And I would say that imagine like a Quebecer in another country trying to have like some problem and health issue and try to communicate in French.

01:08:59.020 And but everybody would say, but it's English.

01:09:02.220 They would be like frustrated and really like panic.

01:09:05.780 But imagine of a minority of Quebecer who speak English or their first language was English and try to get some help.

01:09:16.260 That is help or other like, like field.

01:09:20.720 I don't care.

01:09:21.740 But when you need help and you get discrimination because you cannot like speak the language.

01:09:29.700 We are in a country who have two languages.

01:09:32.680 I know that in Quebec, the official language is French.

01:09:36.480 But everybody should speak the both language of the country.

01:09:40.180 This is my point of view.

01:09:41.660 And in Quebec, you speak in French.

01:09:44.020 Yes, but you should be able to provide any services in both language for the people, not only the English Quebecer, but for tourists who come here who need help.

01:09:55.260 Imagine like an English tourist who come here and heard of this story.

01:09:59.080 Do you think that they really want to come here?

01:10:02.300 And if they have like a health problem, they will not be able to have any services or help?

01:10:09.320 Well, even imagine from the other perspective, if you were a French speaking person from Quebec somewhere else in Canada and you tried to access, say, a federal thing and they weren't a federal service and they weren't able to provide you care.

01:10:21.520 That would be massive news if literally the exact same scenario presented with the language is reversed.

01:10:27.900 It would be a massive, scandalous headline.

01:10:30.920 So, yeah, troubling indeed.

01:10:32.520 Hopefully it was someone and hopefully there's a formal response stipulating this was a clerical error or someone completely acted inappropriately.

01:10:41.080 But, yeah, troubling indeed.

01:10:42.220 As we are over time, I'm going to run through these chats.

01:10:45.400 Thanks to everyone who did offer up our Rumble chat.

01:10:49.080 Some feedback, as I expected, on the fluoride front.

01:10:53.280 CA Freedom Fighter US says strongly recommend, gives $5 and says strongly recommend reading The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson.

01:11:03.680 CA Freedom Fighter US, again, $5.

01:11:05.960 It says after researching fluoride, I found this product and recommend firsthand for dental care.

01:11:11.140 Again, I'm not a medical professional, but I'm just going to reread this here.

01:11:14.640 I'm not recommending it personally.

01:11:16.580 Shine Remineralizing Tooth Whitening Powder with Hydrozypetite by Aura Wellness.

01:11:24.020 Excuse my pronunciation there.

01:11:25.560 Fraser McBurney, once again, chips in with $5 in all caps as always.

01:11:29.720 This Sunday, we celebrate the three-year anniversary of our Hamilton Freedom Movement.

01:11:33.200 We're hosting a potluck picnic at Bayfront Park, 12 noon.

01:11:37.980 Let's have fun.

01:11:39.860 Nice.

01:11:42.040 Fraser McBurney, again, $5.

01:11:43.780 How does solar power work when it's dark or covered with snow?

01:11:46.860 How does wind power fans work when there's no wind?

01:11:48.980 Just asking.

01:11:49.720 Yeah, and that's the thing is they don't.

01:11:51.780 There's issues.

01:11:52.420 There's instabilities.

01:11:53.600 Until we have a massive storage grid, which we don't have, maybe Musk is working on it.

01:11:58.800 But until we can store energy in massive quantities that can be pulled at later times.

01:12:04.280 But I know, for example, you look at somewhere like Medicine Hat or Calgary, they're some of

01:12:08.900 the sunniest places.

01:12:09.920 There's so many greenhouses in this area and in the world, at least in the country, as far

01:12:14.900 as days of sunlight.

01:12:16.200 So there are certain strategic places where they might be more advantageous.

01:12:20.080 But again, it's far from a perfect technology.

01:12:22.420 I don't like wind technology at all.

01:12:24.080 It kills a lot of birds.

01:12:25.340 You have to clear cut areas.

01:12:26.560 There's now talks about sort of migraines and potentially even cancers resulting.

01:12:31.180 So we're in the early days of this type of technology.

01:12:34.880 It might get there eventually, but it's certainly not there yet.

01:12:38.880 But thank you, CA Freedom Fighter US and Fraser McBurney for chipping in.

01:12:43.000 Really appreciate that conversation.

01:12:45.480 And yeah, that pretty much wraps us up for the day.

01:12:47.980 Any final thoughts for the folks, Alexa?

01:12:50.880 No, but I thank you for everybody who tuned in.

01:12:53.640 And thanks for being there.

01:12:55.080 Thanks for participating with the chat.

01:12:57.800 And I hope we'll see you soon because me, I'm mostly there sometimes to replace people

01:13:04.560 who need to work on the field.

01:13:09.380 Wonderful.

01:13:09.960 And I'm here most Fridays.

01:13:11.580 I think I might be away next Friday, but usually happy to see you on Fridays.

01:13:15.020 I want to thank everyone in the studio for making this possible.

01:13:17.520 As Alexa said, the folks who awaited the conversations, everyone for tuning in at home.

01:13:22.020 We couldn't do it without you.

01:13:23.840 I want to thank you all so much for tuning in.

01:13:25.200 For Rebel News, I'm Adam Sose.
