Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies discuss International Women's Day and why they don't even call it "Women's Day" anymore. Also, why are there specific colours for women's day? And why are they purple?
00:01:32.200We have so many strong women working at this company.
00:01:36.280The idea that we are adverse to women's values and women's equality is absolutely perverse to me, Sheila.
00:01:45.080I think I'm in the position that I'm in at Rebel News because of my good female judgment, honestly.
00:01:51.380And my temperament, which comes specifically because I'm female.
00:01:55.840But yeah, I don't even know how we're still calling it Women's Day after we can't say stuff like pregnant women.
00:02:02.460We have to call, like, pregnant people.
00:02:05.640So, is it like potentially pregnant people chest feeder day because we can't even say breastfeeding day because that is also not inclusive?
00:02:16.760So, how long till we can even say Happy Women's Day anymore even though it's just another day?
00:02:23.980Every day is Women's Day here at Rebel News.
00:02:26.060Well, I am wishing you verbally a happy Women's Day to you, Sheila.
00:02:32.180Unlike a few years ago when Dion Buse, that little lizard, punched you in the face at a woman's rally.
00:02:43.420So, and I mean, think of the perversity there, Sheila.
00:02:46.860I mean, that is still a video that lives in my head.
00:02:50.460You at a woman's rally in Edmonton and this little creature decides to punch you and you have the woman there, the feminist, creating cover for him, you know.
00:12:30.700Prisoner of the state, Tamara Litch, convoy organizer.
00:12:33.760She was granted bail yesterday after, I think it was 17 or 18 days in jail for the crime of counseling to commit mischief, which is, again, I stress, counseling someone to be annoying in public.
00:12:45.260So for saying, hey, you should keep honking your horn.
00:13:35.860This lady is in trouble for counseling to commit mischief.
00:13:39.440Meanwhile, if you recall last month, Sheila, the Antifa jabroni in Winnipeg that used his vehicle to slam into people, he was granted bail immediately.
00:13:49.440You know, we have an upside down justice system here.
00:13:53.740We have somebody counseled to create mischief.
00:13:56.680You're in the slammer for your pretrial period.
00:14:00.260Someone using a vehicle as a weapon, bail automatically.
00:14:04.720Killing an ally and partially blinding another.
00:14:07.320Well, that's a $10.5 million check in your bank account.
00:16:00.180Anyways, we've got Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell, or sorry, acting police chief.
00:16:08.960One of the worst law enforcement officials, I think, in the free world, probably.
00:16:16.040He is investigating, and they may face discipline, Ottawa cops who allegedly supported the convoy.
00:16:26.660So, I guess the Ottawa cops who didn't like billy club people across the head like baby seals, didn't pepper spray journalists, shoot journalists at point blank range with pepper canisters.
00:16:38.460He says that these cops who expressed a political opinion, they may face discipline.
00:16:45.760And this is crazy because I'm old enough to remember, was it last summer or the summer before, BLM in Ottawa and Justin Trudeau was taking a knee with them.
00:16:55.720The police, as long as they supported BLM, perfectly fine.
00:16:59.720But if you have an alternative political opinion, as in, I think people should be allowed to have civil liberties, which I guess is a controversial opinion if you work for the police now, you could get kicked off the force.
00:17:13.040And all this does is leave us with the worst of the worst cops working, by the way.
00:18:00.160If they're proven to be substantiated, we'll look at appropriate discipline in those circumstances.
00:18:06.540So he's looking at whether or not police officers donated to the campaign, it sounds like.
00:18:14.180So several data breaches targeting the Christian crowdfunding website, Give, Set, Go in February revealed the names of more than 100,000 donors
00:18:22.140who raised millions for the Freedom Convoy and Adopt a Trucker campaigns.
00:18:26.300Ottawa police officers were among them, according to reports from CBC and the Toronto Star,
00:18:30.580who leafed through stolen data of doxxed innocent Canadians to find the bad guys.
00:19:09.420This is, I mean, and of course, naturally, as always, they find some, like, outlandish university professor who says that this is evidence of, like, the far right infesting police forces.
00:19:24.480Has anybody actually seriously examined the behavior of the police forces over the last two years?
00:19:30.780They aren't far right freedom lovers, I'll tell you that much.
00:19:33.740And if they were, they've been fired from the police force for not wanting to participate in the biomedical police state.
00:19:40.240There's always some, like, this professor who examines police actions says this is evidence of far right infiltration into the police force.
00:19:52.400And it's, like, this idea that people who might be willing to put on a uniform and defend the civil liberties of their Canadians, that they might, like, their community, that they might have conservative leanings.
00:20:09.420When I look at this, sometimes I'm always, like, I'm sort of shocked at the low levels of conservatives that are in policing, because it seems like a job that conservatives would want to do.
00:20:19.240So, you're right, Sheila, but it's all about that hidden agenda.
00:20:24.460So hidden, I think it's somewhere near the Earth's core right now, and it's never going to happen.
00:20:29.580Yeah, I'm still waiting on Stephen Harper's agenda.
00:20:40.120Excuse me, I'm sniffing a whole heck of a lot today.
00:20:42.560Um, we've got, uh, a video from Steve Bell, again, the worst, uh, police officer in the country today, where he vows to rebuild trust that was lost during the protest.
00:20:56.420And he doesn't mean normal people who looked upon the actions of the police in Ottawa with horror and disgust.
00:21:03.840He wants to build trust with people who don't think they acted swiftly enough or brutally enough.
00:21:23.700Yeah, so it, it, Patricia, it's a great observation.
00:21:26.860And we had, over the last number of years, what, what I would call fractured trust with, with some of our communities, some of our more marginalized, some of our racialized, indigenous and faith-based communities.
00:21:39.260Uh, the trucker convoy put an even harder strain on that relationship.
00:21:43.700So today, um, what you saw was a culmination of, uh, multiple, uh, two weeks, last two weeks, having conversations in the community and, and them, those groups really trying to figure out exactly how we were going to move ahead.
00:21:58.100So I thought it was really important to reach out to those communities, all of our communities directly to, to lay out, uh, the progressive agenda that we were going to continue to maintain and, and how we were going to move ahead on that.
00:22:09.840A lot of the frustration from downtown residents and downtown businesses who were affected was watching this happen and thinking, police are not doing enough.
00:22:18.480Why are they not moving in and starting the effort of clearing this out?
00:22:22.120And you had this discussion today on Newstalk 580 CFRA saying that some officers were not on side with what you were trying to do and what the force was trying to do and may actually have been subverting what police were there to do.
00:22:34.420How are you handling that part of the situation?
00:22:37.700Uh, so there's a couple of pieces of that.
00:22:39.400First off, I think you saw how complex and massive the undertaking was to eventually move out the occupation that were in the streets.
00:22:48.140So that took time to plan, took time to implement and took time to actually execute in a safe way.
00:22:53.640That being said, we know from the early days there, there was some officers, um, who we've started to do internal investigations around, uh, who may have been sympathetic or, or assisting, uh, with the convoy efforts.
00:23:08.260So, uh, I've been really clear from the beginning that there's, there's no room for that.
00:23:12.260There's no room for supporting unlawful activity if you're a member of this police service.
00:23:16.500So, um, we will continue to investigate those.
00:23:20.180We take it extremely seriously and we'll use everything within our power to address that.
00:23:25.000I mean, long before this convoy situation, there had been an acknowledgement that there was some racism and some sexism issues with that that existed in the police force.
00:23:33.880Uh, your predecessor, your slowly was trying to, to get that message out and it was not always well received.
00:23:42.540Do you think there are people who are not willing to accept that overall change needs to happen?
00:23:46.640So, uh, what we know, and it was, it was, uh, it was, uh, a discussion that was really well championed and well led by Chief Slowly, uh, that it's a tough conversation to have in policing, in the media, in, in education, in healthcare, anywhere.
00:24:01.120It's tough to have that conversation around systemic racism, but it is, is so important that we learn as an organization, as institutions on how to have that.
00:24:11.520I think over the last number of years, we've matured as an organization where, uh, we can actually start to have those dialogues and discussions and, and even more importantly, can start to really identify the, the things and issues within our organization that contribute to systemic racism, systemic misogyny.
00:24:30.820Or other circumstances that don't allow everyone to work in a, uh, uh, an inclusive environment.
00:24:36.500And Steve, you obviously came in at such a difficult time.
00:25:00.820Um, um, listening to this guy say that he had people in his police force, not willing to do the authoritarian things that he was asking them to do and then investigating them.
00:25:13.580He, and then he says, we've got to reach out to the people who think we didn't do enough or that we behaved wrong.
00:25:22.880I want to see an investigation into the treatment of peaceful protesters, the pepper spraying, the 197 arrests, the long-term detention, detention, or minuscule infractions, the destruction of property, the smashed out windows of truckers.
00:25:43.040Their, their vehicles are written off in some cases based on the damage and vandalism that happened at the hands of the police or were enabled by the hands of the police.
00:25:52.240Journalists were pepper sprayed, pepper sprayed.
00:25:55.600Guillaume was pepper sprayed right in his face.
00:25:57.900Alexa was beaten on camera and shot at point blank range with a pepper canister.
00:26:16.960When I went to the press conference last month and my question to, uh, Inter Chief Bell was about the Alexa situation, which was absolutely the most serious thing I saw in terms of police violence.
00:26:29.060I mean, imagine getting a canister shot at you point blank right in the thigh and, uh, she has the pictures of the bruises to prove it.
00:26:38.580And thank God it was her thigh, Sheila, instead of her face.
00:26:42.160Otherwise I fear the conversation would be radically different right now.
00:26:45.480And Chief Bell said, uh, he wasn't aware of this situation.
00:26:49.140And yet just a half hour before the press conference, uh, Alexa was interviewed by RT.
00:26:55.620Well, back when RT, you could get on a Canadian, uh, cable system, uh, how quickly that changed.
00:27:03.460So what I'm saying is we're getting international publicity and the chief, this detective, this investigator, um, was unaware of this.
00:27:15.300And still to this day, I understand an investigation has not been open, but the way he closed the press conference, Sheila, when questions were over, where, um, was Chief, uh, Bell thanking the mainstream media for their great coverage.
00:27:30.480And, uh, oh, by the way, we are taking it upon ourselves to investigate those out there in the field, like Evans, Soyboy, Sullivan, uh, who were, uh, given the F bomb or, uh, you know, were the recipient of verbal slurs.
00:28:30.560That's a maneuver that we should learn and they should hear the, our jack boots on the street.
00:28:35.320Um, maybe don't shoot lady journalists with pepper spray canisters and beat them up.
00:28:41.540Maybe don't imprison peaceful protesters like Tamara Lich for 17 or 18 days.
00:28:46.420I got to listen to police chief Caillou talk about systemic misogyny in the police force without pointing out the bad actions of people operating under his direction, directed at women.
00:33:37.260And I'm not saying it applies to them, but maybe it might.
00:33:42.260We have been snakebitten in the last four years in terms of conservatives, both federally and provincially, running as true blue conservatives when they haven't got the leadership credential yet or they've won an election.
00:33:59.660And only for us to find out, Sheila, that they are red Tories, they're liberal light, whether it's Alberta, Ontario, Mr. Scheer, Mr. O'Toole.
00:34:20.580They actually reach out to us to get on our shows and to say their piece while they're in the campaign mode to attain the leadership of the party.
00:34:30.460And once they do so, oh, what have you done for me lately?
00:34:55.080I don't throw my support behind any one of them.
00:34:58.160I just I'll call them balls and strikes as I see them.
00:35:01.740But I think it's really funny how conservative politicians expect loyalty from us because we are a right of center network.
00:35:09.460And when we are suddenly critical of them, the same way that they will get criticism from the CBC, they run screaming from us like their hair's on fire.
00:36:10.060If you're making promises to conservative voters, I'm going to make sure that I hold you account for those promises that you make.
00:36:16.120And I want to make sure that if a guy is elected as a conservative, he's going to stay a conservative.
00:36:20.680It's my job when all the forces are dragging your conservative politicians to the left.
00:36:27.540So the CBC, the mainstream media, academia, blah, blah, blah, blah, that it's our job as someone to the right of them to drag them back and remind them what conservative voters want.
00:38:37.020So don't believe what the Laurentians have to say about us Westerners because we're pretty open-minded because we embrace the ideas and not the demographics.
00:38:47.560You know, it's so unfortunate, isn't it, Sheila, that Lesley Lewis back in the summer of 2020 when we had the independent press debate in Toronto with the conservative would-be leaders, Lesley Lewis, Derek
00:39:44.160He was embracing a true blue strategy.
00:39:47.400And once he got in, not only did he become a red Tory overnight, on the day before the election when we went to go to an event in Markham,
00:39:58.000his henchmen, forced us to stand on a road.
00:40:02.760They lied about the property line in terms of private property.
00:40:06.800And there was traffic going by at a fast rate of speed while he gave a press conference to all the vipers in the mainstream media who hate him.
00:40:53.400But he was blocking our rebel news journalists from events because he's just the same as Justin Trudeau on free speech and free press issues.
00:41:00.840He thinks that he can decide who's a journalist and who isn't in spite of the Canadian Constitution and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
00:41:06.800So anybody who thinks that way, he should be banished from conservative politics forever.
00:41:11.400I'm sure he's nice, but he's just not cut out for the job he was doing.
00:41:14.860Sheila, this is so profoundly important, what you brought up, and maybe some people might consider it inside baseball stuff, but it isn't, and it shouldn't be.
00:41:22.900And that is, whoever becomes the leader, if they hang on to these retreads in the war room of the last two federal campaigns, you are doomed.
00:41:33.880Because you're right, it'll bend the knee to the Laurentian elites, reach out to the mainstream media, disrespect Rebel News and its 1.6 million audience on YouTube, and you're going to go down.
00:41:53.840He was the one that is building in Markham, folks.
00:41:57.420It was the day before the election last year, and he actually forced us, the camera woman and myself, onto a lane of traffic when actually the property line of that building, it starts one meter from the curb, but he said it began right at the curb.
00:42:18.980What a liar, and as this is going on, Sheila, as you know, Aaron O'Toole is in the fetal position in his bus.
00:42:36.560And yeah, until we were on that street, the press conference did not begin.
00:42:42.800And I mean, Hahn's parting words were so pathetically unprophetic, which was Aaron O'Toole, by this time tomorrow evening, will be the new prime minister of Canada.
00:42:58.440In fact, he lost by every demonstrable benchmark in terms of percentage of the vote, in terms of getting MPs in the greater Toronto area and the 905, in terms of the total number of MPs.
00:43:15.300And O'Toole, as you know, Sheila, had the audacity to claim victory because we held the Justin Trudeau Liberals to a minority government.
00:43:23.480If that's your idea of a leader, folks, I'm sorry, you must be someone that does fist pumps when the chess game ends in a stalemate because that ain't victory.
00:43:34.520Yeah, he lost to a guy who did blackface at least three times.
00:43:37.880And I'm supposed to think that that guy's a winner.
00:43:42.800Before we go on to our next batch of chats, because we did get some, do you think we can bring up that video?
00:43:49.140Speaking of how politicians could treat the mainstream media when they're acting dishonestly, instead of kissing their butts like conservative politicians in Canada do, because they're scared of Rosie Barton when they really should be scared of me.
00:44:10.700Ron DeSantis continues to be my favorite politician on the face of the earth.
00:44:16.820Like I said, off the top of the show, please send a bouquet of roses to the family, because the journalist who asked this question is now deceased.
00:44:56.600And the idea that you wouldn't be honest about that and tell people what it actually says,
00:45:02.680it's why people don't trust people like you, because you peddle false narratives.
00:45:06.700And so we disabuse you of those narratives.
00:45:12.660And we're going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum.
00:46:44.020If a parent says, don't talk to my kid about that stuff, do not talk to my kid about that stuff, or I'm going to come do something terrible.
00:46:51.160But secondarily, these are little kids age five to seven.
00:46:55.300Why do you want to introduce this stuff to them?
00:47:00.020But the media is running around saying, oh, you know, like Ron DeSantis is making it illegal for teachers to say the word gay to little kids or to children in general.
00:47:22.680And Sheila, to answer your question, why would you teach this to five to seven-year-olds?
00:47:29.640Well, whether you're an ad agency on Madison Avenue selling beer or a Marxist peddling ideology, as the saying goes, get them young, get them forever.
00:49:29.080There's a Western-based company called I-Corps that I use out here in Alberta, and they just actually introduced a new test this morning,
00:49:36.740because I was like, oh, it's time to book again for next week to do our immunity testing.
00:49:40.820And they've introduced T-cell immunity, which I think is very interesting, because I do not trust, and I think this is just a reasonable assertion,
00:49:49.760I don't exactly trust the reliability of the COVID-19 testing protocols, because a lot of people get false positives,
00:49:57.700or they test in the morning, and then they test in the afternoon, and then they were negative, then they were positive.
00:50:02.340And so someone who thinks that they've never had COVID may have actually just been missed in the testing protocols,
00:50:09.660but the T-cell immunity would tell you if you've been exposed and developed immunity in that way.
00:50:15.840And that test just came to the Alberta I-Corps lab, I guess, this morning, or at least since I looked at their website last.
00:50:24.320But yeah, I'm sorry, I wish I could give you advice about where to get this lab work done to do immunity testing in Ontario, but I don't know.
00:50:31.780But I know if you're in Western Canada, you can use I-Corps, and they take your blood and they send it to the Mayo Clinic in the United States and get this sent back.
00:50:39.800Because if you try to do it through a provincial lab in Alberta, the government says, oh, no, you've had too much to think.
00:50:45.820You can't know this stuff about your own blood work.
00:50:56.660Yes, and please tell us what was it like, what was the cost, what was the timeline for those who haven't seen your videos about this?
00:51:06.400Okay, yeah, so I've done four of these videos.
00:51:08.680It is very super convenient, and I was sort of put onto this testing by Vince Byfield of the Byfield family.
00:51:16.040And he had tried to decide, because his dad was elderly living in the home with him and had been vaccinated, but he didn't know if his family had COVID or not.
00:51:25.700So he decided, well, I'm going to go get the test so that I could use informed decision-making to decide if I need a vaccine.
00:51:33.780And he tried to get it through his doctor, and the doctor said, or the doctor ordered the test, the lab took his blood, and then refused to do the test, which was crazy.
00:51:44.940By the way, sorry, Sheila, I didn't mean to interrupt, but what is the ostensible policy reason for the lab saying, no, we're not going to do the test?
00:51:52.320Well, they just want you to get a vaccine.
00:52:47.680It just comes to your email and la-dee-da.
00:52:50.120It's about 130 bucks, though, every time.
00:52:52.820So if you don't have money to dish out to prove a point about how bad the government is, this information about your own body is paywalled to you, and yet they tell me that health care is universal here in Canada.
00:53:06.200So anyway, that's what we've been doing, my friend and I, to decide to find out, you know, like, have what we've been told about the COVID vaccination and how even if you've had COVID, you need a vaccine.
00:53:18.560Is that really true based on our blood work?
00:53:21.900And other people could be making these decisions for themselves also, except you can't get this blood work unless you pay for it.
00:54:14.440Well, yeah, and there's a whole host of people out there who were sick, but they didn't want to go get an official government COVID test.
00:54:22.260This is before rapid tests were sent home everywhere.
00:54:25.100So they didn't want to go be used as a case count to lock everybody else down.
00:54:28.720So they did what you do every time you're sick.
00:54:31.200You just stay home, don't go to work, keep to yourself.
00:54:33.780They did that, and then they got better.
00:54:36.020And now, these are people who are not opposed to vaccination.
00:54:40.840They are just wondering if they need it, if they need to risk the health complications or whatever to get a vaccine if they already have natural immunity.
00:54:51.680They just want to know those things, and the government says you can't know them.
00:58:14.700If you're debating a black female, and especially since with his baggage of being a groper to a female journalist, of wearing blackface so many times that in the prime minister's own words, he doesn't know how many times he's done it.
00:58:31.380And I've always said, folks, if you look at those blackface pictures, this is what really bugs me, even more than the blackface.
00:58:37.700He's always sticking out his tongue like a reptile.
00:58:41.980Like, what kind of warped vision does Justin Trudeau have of black people that they go about with, like, their tongue sticking out like they're a dog panting?
00:59:21.420He, uh, he even, like, his jeans are ripped and he blackened, like, the rips in his jeans so that the skin showing through the rip was black.
00:59:34.700Why would he be so obsessed with this?
00:59:47.020I think he just thinks black people are costumes that you can put on, much the same way that, you know, some people think being a woman is just a costume that you can put on and a feeling that you have.
01:02:05.800But, Sheila, in Justin Trudeau's defense, he never once billed a $16 glass of orange juice to the taxpayer.
01:02:15.620Oh, I'm sure, actually, it was probably more.
01:02:18.280And it was mixed for his really expensive vodka for the, like, tens of thousands of dollars in booze that he spent on, like, six flights or five flights in the Challenger and hundreds of thousands of dollars in food.
01:06:09.320That's one thing I think of the pandemic has maybe given some parents some confidence in being able to educate their kids because they had to.
01:06:18.800Teachers didn't want to teach in classroom.
