In this episode of the rebel news daily live stream, we discuss the chaos that unfolded on the streets of Ottawa, Canada on the weekend of May 19th, 2019 as the rioting bikers turned out in droves in support of the Rolling Thunder Biker protest.
00:40:40.520It is like that communist brainwashing where they're like, no, that doesn't jive with me to the point of the cult thing.
00:40:45.520I think lots of people, whether it be virtue signaling or medical things, which will skirt away from, they think that that they've replaced religion.
00:40:58.520And so whether they participated in an immunization program or they tweeted the right thing that in their mind is their contribution to society,
00:41:09.520because most of these people, frankly, probably don't do a lot of volunteer work or charitable work.
00:41:14.520Statistically speaking, we know that progressives do less than in the United States.
00:41:19.520Anyways, there's research, but they, this is sort of their, their identity.
00:43:41.520We just saw dozens, 57, I think, churches either scorched, vandalized the most overt Christian persecution
00:43:50.520that we have seen very likely in the history of Canada.
00:43:55.520Honestly, basically unparalleled other than in literal complete communist countries where the government goes around doing this.
00:44:02.520But Justin Trudeau doesn't mention Christian churches while he's overseeing the greatest persecution of Christians in Canada in a great long while.
00:44:12.520There was a comment about the Christian churches, the arsons.
00:44:15.520There was graffiti at churches during the Rolling Thunder calling them fascists, saying fascism.
00:44:21.520I remember when there was graffiti at a mosque, which again, terrible.
00:44:32.520Here over the weekend, Dave shared that there was cops about 400 meters away from this church that they spray painted no haven for fascists, fascists, all that stuff.
00:44:43.520They weren't willing to come over and deal with it.
00:44:56.520This is, you can draw a direct line from this from Steve Bell, this from Jim Watson, this from Justin Trudeau, this from the liberals demonizing them.
00:45:07.520Somebody felt justified to go and vandalize a church.
00:45:39.520You know, it's, I don't know what, I mean, I guess, I guess it's right there in the scripture, but it's, it's just open season on Christians right now.
00:45:47.520You can burn down churches that Justin Trudeau will say it's understandable.
00:45:51.520You can see mass vandalisms, burnings.
00:45:54.520And the thing is, is the fact that there hasn't been overt criticism is sort of a tacit endorsement of this sort of thing happening.
00:46:02.520Justin Trudeau, of course, later on sort of said, well, this is bad and we shouldn't be doing this.
00:46:06.520But I mean, literally, like you said, there'd be a parade and a new campaign and new legislation passed.
00:46:12.520But literally, while this is happening, while we've seen historical churches destroyed vandalism, dozens in our city, in my city alone, Justin Trudeau, when he's talking about religious discrimination in this country and discrimination in this country, overtly and intentionally excludes Christians.
00:46:29.520Yeah, not to mention, sorry, no, go ahead.
00:46:34.520Go ahead. I was gonna say not to mention the pastor arrests, the solitary and targeted arrests and persecution of only pastors across this country when every faith group was shunning, disregarding scofflawing these restrictions.
00:46:48.520Literally, we only saw across Canada, selective enforcement.
00:46:53.520Now, this is part of the sort of zeitgeist, the spirit of the age of certain groups we can't criticize, other groups we can go after.
00:47:00.520But don't tell me under anyone other than Justin Trudeau, the degree of overt malice against Christians would have been so high.
00:47:10.520You know, I was driving past St. Josaphat Cathedral in Edmonton the other day, and I very rarely go into the city unless it's for work or just rugby, but then it's like straight in and straight out.
00:47:24.520So when I am going downtown for work to the courthouse or whatever, if I'm driving past St. Josaphat, that's the Ukrainian Catholic Church Cathedral.
00:47:32.520They have this big, huge statue of Pope John Paul II right outside.
00:47:36.520And that was the statue that was vandalized.
00:47:39.520And whenever I drive past, I always just like pull the car over, run across the street, just quickly touch the statue, say a quick prayer and get going, right?
00:47:48.520And I can't do that anymore because they have security fencing around the church now.
00:47:53.520And that's because that statue was vandalized.
00:47:57.520And I would say that St. John Paul II was probably the most apologetic and most open-minded towards Indigenous peoples, not just in Canada, but around the world.
00:48:13.520And a lot of that stems, I think, from the fact that his mom was an Eastern Rite Catholic, and so he saw the importance of, you know, the church reflecting the culture of the people who were practicing it.
00:48:25.520But that the church was vandalized, and now because of that, people like me, I don't go to that specific church, but I've always taken a minute just to run past it, can't do that anymore because of the vandalism, the spate, the plague of vandalisms happening in Christian churches all across the country.
00:48:46.400And this is what Christians have to deal with, and nobody seems to care.
00:48:52.160Justin Trudeau said he can understand why it happened.
00:48:55.780You know, it's—I think what we have to do and what needs to be done, and when you do see people coming over, it's often through personal stories.
00:49:06.240You can present the clear-cut facts that charter rights have been violated.
00:49:09.740That's a very sort of abstract notion.
00:49:11.720But once you make it personal, I was having a conversation with someone, and basically the entire conversation was, you people, you're kooks, you're crazy.
00:49:21.280And then it was, well, what about people who literally can't leave or travel in their own country right now several years later?
00:49:30.580We don't need to get into it too much.
00:49:32.200I know we're on the line, but what about those people?
00:50:35.140Quite a bit of work needed to be done.
00:50:37.260These people fled from that, and nobody seems to care.
00:50:41.800Furthermore, I mean, let's talk about our own indigenous communities here.
00:50:46.160We see all of this virtue signaling and rhetoric about Justin Trudeau being the guy for indigenous communities, and there's people in this frickin' country who still don't have clean drinking water.
00:50:57.240The kids can't have a bath more than once a week because it's acidic, and we're sitting here virtue signaling about absolutely nothing.
00:51:06.800We need to cut it with the virtue signaling.
00:51:09.120We need to cut it with the negative elements of social media and start focusing on the actual implications for people's lives.
00:51:17.060Someone should be able to fly across their own country.
00:51:20.360Someone should be able to have a bath without their skin burning.
00:51:23.320Let's deal with that stuff instead of worrying about, like Trigley Wiccan said, white males protesting and gender, whatever.
00:51:36.420And the way we do that is by ensuring people's freedoms, ensuring people's rights.
00:51:40.300If we got the heck out of the way for indigenous communities, they would have clean drinking water.
00:51:45.140If we didn't have active government involvement, if we didn't have Justin Trudeau controlling state media, we would have been over this other nonsense very quickly as well because the facts would have been out there.
00:51:55.820We need to get government out of our lives, and we need to take control of them again.
00:52:00.060You know, Trigley Wiccan's head would have just rolled right off her shoulders if someone had pointed out to her that it is not privileged white men who are disproportionately harmed by these vaccine mandates.
00:52:12.660It is indigenous people and people of color who are the least vaccinated demographic in this country and the most resistant to forced vaccination programs.
00:52:27.440And so when she says, oh, it's just privileged old white men who don't like these mandates, with six million Canadians not able to travel, what is that?
00:52:42.780One in six of your fellow Canadians are treated like terrorists, according to the airlines and the train companies, the heavily subsidized train companies.
00:52:52.880And I don't think the airlines are particularly responsible for this, but they sure haven't been saying much to defend the rights of their former customers, by the way.
00:53:02.900But one in six Canadians cannot travel inside their own country any real distance.
00:53:12.380That vaccine mandate disproportionately hits indigenous people and people of color.
00:53:17.440And she is cheering for it because she doesn't like, I don't know, trucks, bikes, toxic masculinity, I guess.
00:53:26.920You know, you know who the really privileged people are?
00:53:29.460They're the people who are taking a vacation day and jet setting away from Ottawa because they don't want to face realities.
00:53:37.720The largely white, not that this matters, and I don't want to get into it, but very often privileged downtown residing liberal elite progressives who are counter protesting.
00:53:50.020Those are the privileged people, generally speaking, that they so decry and hate.
00:53:55.600You see this, whether it's a March for Life event or whether it's these protests.
00:54:00.440If we're going to talk about demographics, there's no clear-cut demographic amidst the protesters.
00:54:06.460They come from an array of backgrounds.
00:54:08.600Very often you'll immediately clue in on a Polish accent or someone says that they're from Nigeria or someone escaped Vietnam, whatever it may be.
00:54:17.140There's an extremely wide array of stories there.
00:54:20.420Not so much amidst the counter protesters.
00:54:23.000There's a bit of a demographic congruence, if you catch my meaning.
00:54:50.460The March for Life is very female, very young, very minority.
00:54:55.000And it's the privileged, you know, liberal, career student busybodies who say, oh, what about the poor women who can't afford to have these babies?
00:55:05.960As though being poor should be some kind of death sentence.
00:55:08.940They're the ones who are, you know, exhibiting their privilege to, you know, tell these minority young people, often who are from lower socioeconomic demographics, what they should think.
00:55:24.120And the government should think what's best for them.
00:55:40.620If the NDP liberals won't follow the province's lead and give unvaccinated Canadians their rights back, maybe they will follow our international partners.
00:55:48.780We know that the prime minister values his blame away image on the world stage more than anything else, as his travels and selfies prove.
00:55:55.160But our international partners are bewildered as to why the Canadian government is so reluctant to let life return to normal for all Canadians.
00:56:02.420Switzerland and Greece are removing all travel-related restrictions next week, and virtually no other country requires it for domestic travel for their citizens.
00:56:11.720So why won't this government follow the science?
00:56:15.800The honourable province is extra to the minister of health and the minister of sport.
00:56:22.580And I thank my honourable colleague for giving me the opportunity to highlight a recent study indicating that, unfortunately, the unvaccinated continue to disproportionately risk the safety of those vaccinated against COVID-19.
00:56:31.640And highlight the fact that, in the last week, almost 12,000 Canadians have received their first dose, 30,000 Canadians have received their second, 89,000 have received their third, and over 220,000 have received their fourth dose, Madam Speaker.
00:56:46.580We all want it to be, but we must continue to follow the science.
00:56:49.660We must continue to support our neighbours.
00:56:51.120We must continue to fight for kids to ensure that young people under six do not get COVID-19, as they have been the biggest numbers in the last couple of days.
00:57:23.460And no matter what facts are presented by, hey, the whole rest of the world, everyone has dropped these restrictions, but Adam Vancouverton knows better.
00:57:33.320I'm glad I get to hang out with the third-floor Olympians and not Adam Vancouverton Olympians.
00:59:56.240Given the timeline, I'm not going to go through all of them.
00:59:58.600But other candidates who are actually approved or in the approval process and successfully raised their funds reportedly have now not been verified.
01:00:09.860And they're having a hard time hearing back.
01:00:11.800We want to make sure we get the facts straight because it could be the payment wasn't filed or there was an issue or they found some sort of problem in the fundraising practices.
01:00:22.160We don't want to report something until we have the facts lined up.
01:00:25.280But it does seem that two of the sort of fringe but maybe more interesting people who are gaining some momentum, Joe Letian, as well as Joseph Bourgo, have not been verified.
01:00:38.320Now, there hasn't been – I don't think there's been an official statement addressing it or saying what's happened.
01:00:43.100But we know for sure Joseph Bourgo had an event saying that they'd paid and they got all their signatures and they'd already been approved by the party.
01:00:50.440So, we're very much going to reach out to the Conservative Party of Canada.
01:00:54.980We don't want this old Erin O'Toole style top-down.
01:01:33.980But we will have much more on that this week.
01:01:37.320You know, God help these Conservatives in the party who continue to replicate the problems of old, it would seem.
01:01:45.900We don't know quite all the details yet.
01:01:47.820But, you know, even if you allege that these candidates who are apparently, based on the information that we have right now, meeting the party's benchmarks, as tricky and as complicated as sometimes they can be, if they're meeting those and yet still you're denying them, you know, what is it?
01:02:07.940If they are as fringe as the party wants to have you believe they are, let them run and let them lose and put that to bed.
01:02:17.320But what's the point in blocking a candidate?
01:02:19.480And then, you know, then it's just controversy for what?
01:02:29.240And again, in the interest of responsible journalism, it could be there was, oh, we found out there was questionable fundraising or there was something here or there.
01:02:40.520Yeah, but given what we've seen, whether it be Jason Kenney being investigated for some of the leadership stuff there or some of the legacy of the Conservative Party of Canada, excluding media, unwillingness to answer questions, that largely, I have to say, we've had exclusives with most of these candidates.
01:03:13.800But it seems that there is a new shift under Candace Bergen, under the Conservatives now, where they're not just running away from questions.
01:04:19.400So, again, that's all leadershipreports.ca.
01:04:21.880And if people want to see our coverage of the convoy, including this most recent one, the Rolling Thunder bikers in Ottawa, they can see that all at convoyreports.ca.
01:04:35.940And you can support our coverage there because we did deploy three teams, four, if you count Efron, working by himself all the way to Ottawa.
