Revel News Daily Live Stream with co-host Drea Humphrey ( ) and guest host Sheila Gunn-Reed ( ) discuss the cancellation of the Women's Rights Talk at the British Columbia Community Centre, as well as the backlash against the BCCC for canceling the event.
00:00:00.000Hi, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Revel News daily live stream.
00:00:19.320I am your guest host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, just flung into the role about a half an hour ago.
00:00:26.160So I really don't know a lot of, not that I don't know a lot about the topics that we're going to talk about, but I'm, they're going to be a surprise to all of us.
00:00:33.620So I'll do my best to talk about these things on the fly.
00:00:38.440Normally the show is hosted by David Menzies and a rotating cast of characters, but David is on a very special assignment this morning and couldn't be with us.
00:00:47.240His special assignment ran late, which is why, hello, I'm here.
00:00:51.780But I'm joined by my co-host today, Drea Humphrey, who hopefully is more prepared than I.
00:00:59.360Well, I was just going to say, you know, these live streams, because of the time they start in BC, I'm always driving around and running and racing and I do my best.
00:01:06.860So this should be an interesting show.
00:01:08.680But that's also what makes the daily roundup great is that it's unscripted.
00:01:13.620You get to know us a little bit better and we get to know you a bit better too.
00:01:17.380And a fun way to do that is through the live chat options on Rumble and Odyssey.
00:01:24.120So like I said, we're just going to be chatting the daily news with you and you can let us know your comments and thoughts on that or give us some news by donating there.
00:01:34.520And we read that, make it part of the show.
00:01:51.740We should, did we tell everybody about the, sorry, I was rapidly reading the topics while you were talking and it's not like I wasn't paying attention.
00:02:28.380Let's start with the first block of topics that we've listed under LGBT and feminism.
00:02:34.680First topic of the day is women's rights talk canceled by British Columbia Community Center for promoting discrimination, contempt or hatred against trans people.
00:02:45.840We've come full circle, where you just talk about women's spaces and women's rights, and if you don't include the surgically created women, you are discriminating against people all of a sudden.
00:03:01.620I think it was funny, though, how it wasn't discrimination in the before times when you talked about women's only spaces.
00:03:09.360You weren't discriminating against men then, but then when the men started identifying as women, then you're discriminating.
00:03:16.220I like how that sort of morphed into something new.
00:03:21.180Well, yeah, in the last, like, we have Pride season, and I guess it's Pride, or no, LGBT History Month and things like that.
00:03:31.340And to some extent, some people feel like that's a little bit exclusionary, too, but no one makes a big deal about it.
00:03:36.900If you don't fit into it or you don't want to celebrate it, you see even the LGBT members saying, we want a divorce from what's going on.
00:03:44.760So even some of them feel like those types of things are not inclusive.
00:03:48.120But here you are standing up or just talking about it.
00:03:51.520It's actually a discussion to talk about safe spaces for women and children.
00:03:57.160And so this was the Chalikin Community Centre that last minute, you know, cancels on them.
00:04:03.200This, as a little bit of a precursor to this, I have a report coming out, should be out today.
00:04:07.840Just a couple of days ago, there was a sold-out talk hosted by Megan Murphy.
00:04:13.380She is a Canadian author and a women's rights activist, and it was sold out.
00:04:18.440But that show was originally cancelled as well.
00:04:20.980It was supposed to originally be done in Nanaimo.
00:04:24.980And same thing, at the stroke of midnight, this pressure comes in from, you know, people calling it hate, and then they cancelled.
00:04:32.400But thankfully, the Salterre Community Centre allowed them to host it last minute.
00:04:37.900And like I said, the tickets were completely sold out.
00:04:40.120It was a panel, and I think the main part of that report is that they welcomed, you know, this Chalikin Community Centre is saying this is exclusive.
00:04:49.000But the evidence shows in my report coming out, they actually welcomed some of the LGBTQ activists who were outside protesting to go ahead and take the mic.
00:06:05.840And, you know, it's just the idea that they were okay to walk into the building and take the mic and feel comfortable to take the mic with a countervailing viewpoint.
00:06:19.880It sort of blows a hole in their argument that the other side of the debate from radical transgenderism is violent, genocidal, bunch of Nazis who won't let you speak and don't care about you.
00:07:09.280And then when they got in the room, it's like you said, you know, one of them said, you're trying to get rid of our existence.
00:07:14.520I'm actually really excited about this report because hopefully, you know, some of the inflammatory narratives that they've been driven to believe from things like the news, I can understand why they're fearful.
00:07:27.020Because you have, like, unions getting together and convincing them that all of these things, you know, parental rights, women's safe spaces, is about erasing them when it's not.
00:08:11.880I just have a different approach to that.
00:08:14.020I think parents should be engaged if your child is suffering from a condition that will increase suicidality.
00:08:19.760I don't think that should be hidden from parents because wouldn't you want two extra sets of eyes watching this potentially suicidal child at home?
00:08:32.700I think parents should be able to pursue whatever sort of counselling they feel as the first best educator and the person who loves that child the most.
00:08:42.480I think they should be able to pursue whatever counselling and help they think that child needs.
00:08:46.600It's the other side that wants to carve out parents that I have a real problem with.
00:09:01.920So we know that that's not the answer.
00:09:03.620And some of the people we've interviewed who have detransitioned, they, I think everyone that I've interviewed that detransitioned always says they believe something else was going on mental health wise.
00:09:13.480And they really wish they had gotten that treated like Chloe Cole, for one example.
00:09:18.700I know she says that she was misdiagnosed as being autistic and that was part of why she wasn't fitting in and things like that.
00:09:25.260And it would have been nice if she got that diagnosis instead of, you know, led on a different trail there.
00:09:30.560So these discussions are so important.
00:09:33.440And it's a shame to see community centres cancelling events in their community that sell out.
00:11:16.940But conservatives need need a better alternative than was sort of watered down, whatever that is.
00:11:23.460And so they have John Rustad, and he is sort of taking a lot of heat in BC for advocating for parents being involved in in their children's sexual education.
00:11:45.160Thousands of British Columbians, many of them from minority communities, have been protesting against SOGI-123, which was originally introduced by the BC United Liberals.
00:11:55.400Parents are concerned about the sexualization of their children in this NDP government's education system.
00:12:01.120Will the minister admit that SOGI-123 has been divisive, an assault on parents' rights, and a distraction on student education?
00:12:12.340And I welcome the member to the House as the leader of his new party.
00:12:19.300But I've got to say, this is not an auspicious start.
00:12:22.500You know, when you talk about the issues of the day for British Columbians, cost of living, housing, we heard from the BCUP, health care, addiction, mental health.
00:12:30.840To come into this place, use the authority of his office, his new party, to find a small group of kids in our province, to leverage all of that, to make them feel less safe at school, less safe in our community, to feed the fires of division in our province and bring culture war to British Columbia.
00:12:53.040And when he sat on this side of the House, he supported those same policies, honorable chair.
00:12:58.500It is outrageous that he would stand here and do this.
00:13:01.500He sees political advantage in picking on kids and families and teachers and schools who are just trying to do their best for kids who are at risk of suicide, honorable chair.
00:13:36.120When you start telling socially conservative minority populations that they don't have any rights over the education of their children, that government's in real trouble.
00:13:48.300And it's also showing to me how out of touch Evie is, or maybe he's putting on a face to be out of touch and playing dumb here.
00:13:55.300Because out of the 92 cities that participated in the One Million March for Children, which was about the issue that Rustad just raised in the legislature, 27 were in British Columbia.
00:14:09.640And almost all of them had more parents, families outweighing the small amount of counter-protesters.
00:14:17.120I can only think of a couple where it was reversed.
00:14:19.520So to condemn Rustad for raising an issue that no one else is raising, that everyone else is becoming more aware of than, you know, I'm assuming when he was on the other side, it's just, it's tone deaf.
00:14:36.080Well, and politicians should change their minds when more information comes to light.
00:14:42.500Like that's what I want politicians to do.
00:14:44.280That's why we dig up the information and then show it to the world is so that when you see it, you might have a come to Jesus moment and change your mind about your viewpoint.
00:14:53.780He's obviously changed his mind about his viewpoint.
00:14:56.240He is representing the concerns of conservatives, which is refreshing for a conservative politician to do.
00:15:03.340It's disorienting because I'm kind of not used to it.
00:15:07.760But he's, he's speaking to the issues of parents and he is.
00:15:11.080And you know what, if Evie wants to pick this fight with minority communities in the lower mainland, I say, bring it.
00:15:19.320You know, when I was at the Regina protest, I was like, did the Sikh temple just let out?
00:15:26.560Because this is an issue that is so important to minority communities who are largely social conservative.
00:15:34.000And so when, you know, the left claims are all about diversity and, and supporting minority populations.
00:15:39.500Well, let's see, let's see, let's see where this goes.
00:15:44.840Well, BC is getting a little bit spicy.
00:15:47.080That party in particular, I mean, it was briefly mentioned.
00:15:50.160He said, welcome with being the leader of an official party.
00:15:53.280The Conservative Party of British Columbia, I believe for the first time in 12 years, got their first MLA through Rustad, who was expelled from the former BC liberals, now BC United.
00:16:07.560So they cancelled him on his birthday for saying something against the climate alarmist.
00:16:12.800Nope, retweeting something against the climate alarmism sort of agenda.
00:16:17.280So I think it's not just Evie who's scared, it must be the BC United who's scared, because they, like you said, are supposed to be a coalition that's home for the Conservatives.
00:16:27.140I doubt they were able to ignore how many parents, families, people of colour came out to be a part of that march.
00:16:34.020And now they see the only voice for all of these people who are concerned about SOGI 123, which is a diverse group of people in British Columbia.
00:16:42.100The only voice being represented, represented now in the House is that of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, which just got their official party status, because Bruce Bandman from the BC United crossed the floor.
00:16:55.400So there is a lot of spicy stuff going on right now in British Columbia, and it's leaning as far as growth wise towards the Conservative Party of BC.
00:17:04.020And this stuff should really scare progressives, because a lot of people are single issue voters.
00:17:10.920For a lot of people up until now, I think probably their single issue might have been affordability.
00:17:16.800But this is next level, because a lot of parents, their children are their only concern.
00:17:40.440This is a battle for the hearts, the minds, the souls, and the bodies of our children.
00:17:46.520And it leaves issues like affordability right in the dust.
00:17:50.360And you don't even have to look all that far in the past to see where this stuff can flip from progressive to conservative nearly instantly.
00:18:04.380Glenn Youngkin is the governor there in a highly Democrat state, all because of a parents uprising, because it became a single issue voter.
00:18:13.060There were single issue voters that had previously been Democrats turn out for him because he was the only person talking about it.
00:18:23.660And again, for Evie to mention, you know, housing, all these other important things, you know, as though this is not important, is just, again, mind-boggling to me, very tone-deaf.
00:18:34.900And I think it's going to come back to bite them in the butt at least a little bit when it comes voting time in 2024, which is just around the corner, if they don't do some sort of snap election to kind of stop what's happening now.
00:18:57.140Anyways, let's next story on the same issue.
00:19:00.800This one makes me laugh because it goes to my theory that these males competing in ladies' sports because they put on a ladies' bathing suit are nothing but a bunch of cheaters.
00:19:14.940And when presented with a level playing ground, they don't want to play there.
00:19:23.400So, swimming World Cup category for transgender athletes cancelled after, you guessed it, no entries received.
00:19:31.300The open category to hold on hold after no entrance in Berlin World Aquatics says it will try inclusive initiative again.
00:19:39.840Well, of course, if you were a mediocre male athlete, why would you want to compete in people who might be close in biological build as you when you could just go into the ladies' category and smoke them?
00:21:11.580Identifies as a non-binary person named Ash.
00:21:16.440But it also reminds me of why, you know, women might want to hang on to a player like that.
00:21:21.980Maybe they also don't necessarily want it when they've got a tough, you know, the hardest rugby hitter that he got in the men's league, right?
00:23:57.460But yeah, that was interesting to see.
00:23:59.180But I think the UK is a little bit ahead of us.
00:24:01.600Like when I think of transitioning children, they're certainly, they were doing that at larger volumes faster or earlier than we started doing it.
00:24:10.920That's why you saw their, you know, number one gender clinic get shut down.
00:24:15.160And I think there are over a thousand families that came together to try to sue for their young adults who they believe shouldn't have been transitioned.
00:24:23.980So I think part of what we're seeing there, too, is that they're a little bit ahead of us in the pushback and seeing that, oh, you know, we've gone too far in this affirm all things trans.
00:24:36.460And so people are going, you know, if you wanted the LGBT and a little plus, but now kids are being taught there's 50 or more genders.
00:24:45.040I mean, they can't even learn the ABCs yet at five.
00:24:49.160And they're being told there's so many genders, more than 26 letters in the alphabet.
00:25:24.940I'm happy because they hijacked the symbol of the rainbow, which is a godly symbol.
00:25:30.880But now they're so obsessed with adding things that you can see those triangles are encroaching the rainbow.
00:25:36.360So it's not even going to be a rainbow flag soon.
00:25:39.420I don't know where to look on that flag.
00:25:41.320You know, like when you look at stuff and you sort of get dizzy because your eyes are sort of jotting all over.
00:25:45.720That's how I feel when I look at that flag because I'm like, where's my eye supposed to land on this confusing thing?
00:25:51.740It reminds me of, do you remember when, I'm going to really date myself with this Simpsons reference, but when Homer made his first website and it had like clapping Jesus and chattering teeth and like all these like emojis dancing on this screen.
00:26:12.060And it was just a pile of clutter and bells ringing.
00:26:15.480That's how I feel when I look at that flag.
00:27:54.080On Monday, French-Swiss polemicist, Alan Bonnet, I guess he's Swiss, so it's Bonnet, who goes by Alain Searle, was sentenced by the Lusanne Court for the crimes of defamation, discrimination, and incitement to hatred after he criticized Catherine Mecherel, a journalist for Swiss newspapers, Tribune de Genève, and 24 Hours.
00:28:22.960In a Facebook video two years ago, the court has made an important, the court decision is an important moment for justice and rights of the LGBTQI people in Switzerland.
00:28:38.460Said the co-director of a lesbian activist group, the conviction of Alain Searle is a strong sign that homophobic hatred cannot be tolerated in our society.
00:28:49.140In addition to the prison time, Searle was subsequently ordered to pay legal fees and fines, totaling thousands of Swiss francs.
00:31:09.020If you are having somebody criminally charged for describing an overweight, same-sex attracted woman as a fat lesbian, I'm going to go out on a limb and call you unhinged.
00:34:00.500Although he's finding out the hard way that we do, thanks to our new premier, feisty Daniel Smith, ready to fight with him on everything, which is great.
00:34:08.840We've got a video of Trudeau telling a group of Alberta CEOs that unnamed politicians, talking about Daniel Smith here, opposed to the Liberals' energy plans, are denying certainty to investors and business leaders, denying workers' opportunities, and denying our kids and grandkids the secure future they deserve.
00:34:30.920Let's let Justin Trudeau talk about this, and then I'll tell you why he's an idiot for this specific reason.
00:34:39.420There are lots of reasons he's an idiot, but I can deal with this thing right now.
00:34:43.100Our government has made a significant commitment to being a partner with the business community in our collective work to build a clean economy.
00:34:51.440We've committed billions through investment tax credits for CCS, clean electricity, and clean technology.
00:34:59.780Unfortunately, there are politicians who'd rather rile up people's fears and anxieties instead of focusing on what we can do, what we need to do to secure a strong future for our economy.
00:35:12.120We need to make the very best use of the know-how of our energy industry and energy workers, so we can make sure that Canada continues to lead.
00:35:21.460The politicians who'd rather deny the facts of the matter than take action to meet this moment are denying certainty to investors and business leaders, denying workers' opportunities, and denying our kids and grandkids the secure future they deserve.
00:35:37.620You've got to throw the kids in there for sure.
00:35:48.120This is an absolute idiotic statement for him to make because Albertans are not hard of remembering.
00:35:54.380We just lived through the NDP here from 2015 to 2019, and we know what their anti-energy policies did to our oil patch.
00:36:03.740It caused nearly immediate flight from Alberta.
00:36:08.720All these multinational oil companies said, you know what?
00:36:12.200It's a lot safer to do business, economically speaking, in Kazakhstan, or places where you just pay the local warlord off so that you can do business there.
00:36:25.080You know, Iraq, where, you know, like, it was easier to do business in the parts of the world where ISIS might come and just take your drilling platform from you, than to do business here in Alberta.
00:36:39.420We had companies just pack up and leave.
00:36:43.240And with that, it was like nothing to hear every day of 800 jobs lost here, another 600 jobs lost there.
00:36:54.280There are people who tell me stories of what it was like to work in downtown Calgary during those days of the NDP, especially in their first little bit after they passed the carbon tax that they didn't campaign on.
00:37:08.000Businesses were blindsided by that, and then they just said, you know what?
00:37:13.900There would be a lineup of cabs on Monday morning at those head offices and people coming downstairs with their belongings because they had been laid off.
00:37:23.640And one of my colleagues here at Rebel News, Holly Nicholas, was one of them.
00:38:21.800It was just everybody left to the point where, and now there's so much stigma attached to being a Canadian oil company that TransCanada changed its name to TC because they needed to obscure the stigma of actually being a Canadian company.
00:38:40.060We have the world's third largest provable oil reserves.
00:38:44.980And you cannot get an energy project done in this country.
00:38:48.100And for Justin Trudeau to say, oh, it's politicians like Danielle Smith who were saying, we're pro-oil and gas?
00:38:55.220They're the problem with investor uncertainty?
00:43:18.300Um, and I'm, I'm really tired of people who never set foot off pavement telling us gravel dwellers how we have to live our lives.
00:43:25.840And I'm not surprised to see, you know, liberal MPs doing this.
00:43:30.800I'm, I don't envy being in that caucus, especially if you have some common sense and maybe have been biting your tongue for the last couple of years, especially whether it be the trucker convoy.
00:43:41.280We saw a couple speak out on the divisive rhetoric that Trudeau was doing.
00:43:45.780But more recently, I know that some MPs, uh, started speaking out in general, just, you know, without releasing their names.
00:43:53.040Um, I forget which news outlet wrote that story, but I think there was about a dozen of them that are saying he's not listening to them.
00:43:59.680Um, you know, he's going his own separate ways, things like that.
00:44:03.040So it's not surprising to see, I couldn't open this article myself, but are the MPs actually named who are saying this?
00:44:09.460Or, um, is it another one where they're saying it off record, but they want the public to know, we don't all agree with Trudeau.
00:46:14.680Um, according to this is, um, government data.
00:46:18.580Uh, the federal carbon tax is 14.31 cents per liter.
00:46:23.620So almost as much as the oil companies who are investing to get this product out of the ground.
00:46:31.760They are taking as much of a cut as the companies that are building these massive projects and employing thousands of Canadians and investing in our communities.
00:46:43.860If you've ever been to an Alberta oil patch town, everything is sponsored by Suncourse and Crude, Synovus.
00:46:49.220Like it's, it, the oil companies build everything.
00:46:55.700Um, but besides the federal carbon tax, then you've got the excise tax, which is a flat rate of 10 cents per liter that the federal government charges on gasoline and four cents per liter on diesel.
00:47:10.440So, um, they are actually taking more in tax than the oil companies are taking in profit.
00:47:20.160And then again, this is during a time where families are struggling with the things that, you know, Dave and Evie mentioned earlier, the cost of living and things like that.
00:47:28.900So it's criminal, in my opinion, to be charging something like that.
00:47:33.180And it, where, where's the math on how that's even justified because it's not.
00:47:37.580So, uh, but I guess you have MPs like him going on there and just saying the lie with a straight face so that somebody believes it.
00:47:45.140It's like, oh, it's not their problem that I'm spending this much on gas.
00:47:49.660Oh, British Columbia gas is just, it's out through the roof.
00:47:54.260Although I heard it's going down this week.
00:48:30.100And then we've got a few chats and then, uh, we can't go long because.
00:48:33.660It's manager's meeting day on Wednesday.
00:48:36.540Canadians are grappling with news blackouts on social media due to the Justin Trudeau liberal government's bill C-18.
00:48:44.440This new piece of legislation demands that social media platforms pay the government for news shared by users,
00:48:51.240which is an inconceivable task for companies like Meta and Google.
00:48:56.060So as a result, they have decided to preemptively block all Canadian news content, including ours at rebel news.

00:50:25.540But as people at home know, Canada has one of the more extreme euthanasia protocols in the entire world.
00:50:34.120Um, you do not have to receive, uh, your euthanasia from an actual doctor.
00:50:42.860Um, you can receive it from a healthcare practitioner, which can mean a pharmacist or a nurse.
00:50:49.220Um, we are advancing efforts to give it to people who are mentally ill.
00:50:55.680Um, in March, 2024, currently right now you can qualify for, um, medical assistance in dying as, uh, they like to call it to sterilize the euthanization of the vulnerable and the difficult.
00:51:10.700Uh, you can receive it if you have a chronic, not just illness, chronic, uh, I don't know what the right word is, situation, uh, where you are not satisfied with the treatment that you are receiving to alleviate your suffering.
00:51:28.920Um, and so you can be diabetic, you don't have to be fatal with anything, just have a chronic situation, diabetic, homeless, uh, MS.
00:51:44.260Um, so there's a whole host of other, I don't even want to say illnesses because these are hardly, I mean, these, yes, they do cause suffering, but I don't know, maybe it's because I'm Catholic.
00:51:56.060I think there's value in suffering, um, and dignity in all of God's children.
00:52:03.660But in Canada, if you, in March, 20, 24, you can just, if you are having a suicidal episode, I don't even know why we have suicide hotlines in this country anymore.
00:53:25.020If you're not satisfied with the quality of your medical care in this country, which I don't think anybody's satisfied with their, the quality of their medical care in this country, because we have publicly funded healthcare, which means you have publicly rationed healthcare.
00:53:42.520It takes two years to get a knee surgery.
00:53:44.320So maybe you just, maybe you want to end it all.
00:53:47.180Just look at the Canadian government for help.
00:53:50.400Anyway, the video we have to show after my big rant there is that we, um, members of the euthanasia prevention coalition, uh, they are explaining why Canada's radical euthanasia approach is morally corrupt.
00:54:04.180Sorry to have cut you off there, Drea.
00:54:09.020In 2014, I lost my brother, um, and I have never been the same since.
00:54:15.600I've gone through several traumas and stressors since then, culminating in a range of serious mental health symptoms in 2018.
00:54:26.600That year, I was hospitalized five times, uh, one time for five weeks, including a stay at the acute psychiatric unit.
00:54:34.900And it was one of the worst years of my life.
00:54:37.340Um, when I was discharged, my father had to keep my medication in his room to keep me safe.
00:54:43.460And at one point, I was so depressed, I didn't leave the bed or the couch for weeks on end, um, leading to my sister becoming so concerned that she called the ambulance.
00:54:54.320Um, if, um, if MAID had been presented as an option to me at that time, as a solution to the emotional pain and distress I felt, um, I may not be here today.
00:55:08.360It was a really rough time, and it's only the care of the psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, social workers, um, it's only through their care at the hospital that I was able to get better and move through that time in my life.
00:55:23.860When I then started trying to recover, I found that I couldn't, you know, I, I think my first time trying to recover, I lasted 85 days before I relapsed.
00:55:33.380And then every time it was shorter and shorter.
00:55:35.840And I got to the point where I figured I'm not going to be able to recover this.
00:55:41.560I'll just have to live with this for forever.
00:55:44.240And so facing down the prospect of, you know, the rest of my life being, uh, you know, one year after another of amorphous existential suffering, I figured that death was my only solution.
00:55:58.680And so I first attempted suicide when I was 15 years old, and I attempted suicide seven times in the two years of particular acute pain, although the, the depression and the struggles with mental illness continued long after I, I, after that acute period, um, I, I never sought treatment.
00:56:17.620And if you had offered me medical assistance in dying in that moment, I would have taken it because I really genuinely believed that death was the only solution to the suffering that I experienced.
00:56:28.680Um, with bill C314, um, we would be reversing the decision to extend medical assistance in dying to people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness.
00:56:40.520Um, we know that it's not, um, it's not a possibility to predict whether someone with mental illness will become better or worse.
00:56:52.240Um, and oftentimes we put an emphasis on suicide prevention measures for people like me.
00:56:58.680You know, talking to a friend, uh, asking them if they have a plan, uh, being there for people that we notice are acting differently.
00:57:07.320All of these suicide prevention measures, I think are what we need to emphasize when it comes to, um, care for vulnerable people.
00:57:14.360And as Canadians, we can't put our emphasis on preventing suicide while also presenting, um, made as an option for people with mental illness.
00:57:24.880And so I, I would ask people to consider that, to hear the stories of those who experience mental illness, to speak to those in your community who experience mental illness, and to really think about what it means to be offering suicide assistance to those who need suicide prevention.
00:57:46.240I mean, this is just so evil and wrong as a mental health professional.
00:57:49.780It makes me really sick to my stomach.
00:57:51.560There are so many times where people struggle with thoughts of suicide for a variety of different reasons.
00:57:57.780And the lady who said it's a team of people that come together that should be talking about helping you get through it, not ending your life.
00:58:05.800And there's so many people, I mean, sometimes it's as simple as getting off of your meds, where you start to start to have these feelings again.
00:58:13.060And most people are just simply not in their right state of mind.
00:58:16.880How on earth are we leaving that up to them to end their life?
00:58:24.640Again, I just feel nauseous that, uh, this is the country I live in, that they, they do not value the sanctity of life whatsoever.
00:58:32.920And then on the other hand, they, the same people are defending child mutilation as some sort of form as, uh, preventing transgender kids from suicide.
00:58:42.960So you don't, you can't even buy that narrative if they're okay with something like this.
00:58:48.080That was exactly, exactly the point that I was going to make.
00:58:51.980Out of one corner of their mouth, they're saying we must do these things, um, because we have to prevent a suicide of transgender children.
00:58:59.920And I agree, we must prevent that suicide.
00:59:02.960I just have a different viewpoint on how we can do that while simultaneously offering medical assisted suicide to the mentally ill.
01:06:36.560We should touch on one thing that, to our great regret, we didn't cover as adequately as we could have.
01:06:45.880However, we don't have the infinite resources of the Trudeau-colonized media.
01:06:50.060Last night in Manitoba, the province flipped back to the NDP, Wob Canoe.
01:07:00.240Just a guy I don't appreciate, Wob Canoe, whatsoever.
01:07:05.880However, and we'll, I think I should probably do a more deep dive into who Wob Canoe is and what he's done in his past for Canadians who should be concerned that now he is the premier of one of the Prairie provinces.
01:07:23.320But they swept into majority last night.
01:07:28.640I think it was almost a complete, total wipeout in Winnipeg.
01:07:32.140And I think a lot of it has to do with how terrible Brian Pallister was as a PC leader.
01:07:43.020And then he also didn't give a lot of runway to his successor.
01:07:49.460And so not a lot of ability to repair the damage that had been done between the government and the populace during lockdowns and arresting pastors and all those things.
01:08:00.160And so, anyways, good luck to you, Manitoba.
01:08:06.360As an Albertan, I empathize greatly with what you're about to go through.
01:08:11.220And we'll try our best here at Revel News to hold your NDP government to account for all the horrible things I'm sure they're about to do to you.
01:08:48.780Yeah, and all those people putting up solar panels, if you would just get out of the way of the oil patch, which is currently experiencing a bit of a boom thanks to Danielle Smith, just go.
01:09:03.840If you just got laid off because you're putting up solar panels, government-subsidized solar panels, might I suggest you get a job moving drilling rigs or go be a lease hand on a drilling rig.
01:09:15.600There's lots of money to be had there.
01:09:17.180You don't need to have to do some cold, hard work, but it's good for you.
01:09:21.740I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who are losing their government-subsidized jobs when there's lots of other jobs to be had in this province.
01:09:28.120Did we talk about, did we get Kevin Tennant's chat, five bucks?
01:09:35.860Very few Alberta children in hospitals during the pandemic, but lots of panic.
01:09:41.720Seriously ill children, some on dialysis due to poor food handling, hardly a peep.
01:11:29.700Says at least once, ignoring the impressionability on children to transform attitudes or behaviors being taught and promoted denies common sense.
01:13:42.700We rely on the support of you at home.
01:13:44.460And so, we know that Justin Trudeau is leaving less money in your pocket than ever before.
01:13:48.660So, we appreciate you choosing to spend your money with us.
01:13:52.260And as David Menzies always says, although I don't think he takes his own advice, stay sane.
01:13:57.020The Liberal NDP government increases the carbon tax on farmers who grow the food, on truckers who transport it, on manufacturers who process it, on retailers who sell it.
01:14:07.940But, oh no, these higher taxes certainly don't impact the price of food when Canadians buy it.
01:14:14.500They don't believe them when 7 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table.
01:14:18.160They don't believe them when food bank usage in Alberta is up 70%.
01:14:21.960They don't believe them when families can't put turkey on the table.
01:14:25.760How many families are going to be relying on food banks for the Thanksgiving dinner because of this Prime Minister's inflationary carbon tax?
01:14:35.460Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind my honourable colleague that the Poultry Association of Canada, the grain growers, the canola growers, have all committed to be net zero by 2050.
01:14:48.740And interestingly enough, every time this member, which I respect, stands in the House to talk about the impacts of climate change, he never talks about the impacts on farmers.
01:14:59.360The billions of dollars that droughts, flooding, pests are costing our farmers all across the country, Mr. Speaker.
01:15:08.460From coast to coast, all across the country, that we never hear about that.
01:15:12.800They have no solution to help our farmers fight climate change and help them with affordability, Mr. Speaker.
