Rebel News Podcast - DAILY ｜ Trudeau praises the Charter; Elon's battle to buy Twitter; Calgary's continuing protests

00:00:00.000 Good morning, good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Rebel News Daily Livestream.

00:00:20.200 I am your co-host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and I'm also joined by my fellow Albertan, Adam Sose.

00:00:26.340 He's in Calgary.

00:00:27.680 Adam, how's it going?

00:00:28.340 How was your Easter?

00:00:30.000 Oh, it was wonderful.

00:00:30.780 How about yourself?

00:00:32.700 I was busy kind of low-key, though, you know, like busy because, you know, I'm the mom,

00:00:38.500 so preparing for Easter falls squarely on my skinny little shoulders, but it was, you

00:00:46.620 know, it was just sort of casual.

00:00:47.800 We had a fire in the backyard, and everybody got together, really no different than anything

00:00:51.680 we did during the entire pandemic, because we didn't stop gathering together just because

00:00:56.820 the government told us not to.

00:00:58.080 How about you?

00:00:58.460 You know, it was really good, actually.

00:01:00.920 It was a Sunday evening.

00:01:02.120 The church had a mass, and it was like normally there isn't a Sunday evening mass, so nobody

00:01:06.620 knew about it.

00:01:07.300 So it was like the quietest, low-key Easter mass I've ever been to, so that was pretty

00:01:12.120 nice.

00:01:12.940 I got with the family.

00:01:14.120 Yeah, same old, taking it easy.

00:01:16.100 Not much has changed for us people who kept on living free, so.

00:01:18.820 Yeah, I don't need permission from the government to live my life, that's for sure.

00:01:23.980 There were a lot of things that happened over the weekend.

00:01:28.300 Besides, you know, commemorating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Justin Trudeau

00:01:33.500 decided to commemorate the signing of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms by his father.

00:01:39.580 We'll get to that in a second.

00:01:40.660 We'll explain to everybody what we're doing here, and then we'll get into the news of

00:01:43.740 the day, because Justin Trudeau, once again, fails to read the room, like, completely.

00:01:51.200 So this is the Rebel News daily live stream.

00:01:55.080 It's a great way for us to interact with each other, because a lot of us work remotely.

00:01:59.340 I'm east of Edmonton in an undisclosed location, although if you know me, you know exactly where

00:02:04.160 I am, and Adam's down in Calgary.

00:02:06.940 But it also gives us a chance to interact with our viewers, and gives our viewers a chance

00:02:11.920 to have their say, but also support the work that we do completely willingly.

00:02:16.140 So if you are watching us on Getter, we're streaming there.

00:02:19.060 We're streaming on YouTube for as long as we possibly can today, but in general.

00:02:25.160 So there are things on YouTube that we can't talk about.

00:02:28.040 So we might have to cut the YouTube feed, because if we question the advice of a public

00:02:34.760 health officer, that will make us run afoul of the big tech censors.

00:02:38.400 If we say certain things about the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, that might also make

00:02:46.240 us run afoul of YouTube censorship.

00:02:47.960 So we might have to cut the feed there, but we are streaming on other places as well.

00:02:53.520 We are on Rumble, Odyssey, and SuperU simultaneously.

00:02:56.980 And on those platforms, as Olivia has put up, you can have your say, have your message shown

00:03:03.300 on screen if you leave a paid chat.

00:03:05.520 And if it's a question, I will do my best to answer it.

00:03:08.640 Adam, likewise.

00:03:09.380 If you've got a comment, a story idea, whatever, throw it in a paid chat.

00:03:13.480 On Rumble, it's called Rumble Rant.

00:03:15.560 Odyssey is a hyper chat, and there's a couple different ways that you can do that.

00:03:19.400 And on SuperU, it's called the SuperU Shout.

00:03:22.180 And again, it's a great way for you to have your say, because unlike the CBC, we don't

00:03:28.820 close our comment section.

00:03:29.760 We do want to hear from you.

00:03:31.500 But again, support us out of the goodness of your heart and out of your own free will,

00:03:36.260 unlike, again, the horrible state broadcaster, CBC, that Justin Trudeau just reaches into

00:03:42.440 your pocket and takes your money and says, here you go, CBC.

00:03:44.660 Nobody's watching you.

00:03:45.780 Here's a little more money.

00:03:46.700 Um, so that's, um, what we're doing here.

00:03:50.680 Now, I alluded to, uh, Justin Trudeau, uh, commemorating the birth of the Charter of Rights

00:03:57.840 and Freedoms after he's had a hell of a two years just stomping all over him.

00:04:02.580 Um, and I'm old enough to remember, oh, I don't know, six, uh, horses stomped on a little

00:04:12.200 old lady.

00:04:13.080 Did I freeze up?

00:04:14.920 A little bit.

00:04:15.420 I think I froze up.

00:04:16.700 Yeah, I'm frozen, whatever.

00:04:18.520 We can hear you.

00:04:20.100 Yeah, okay.

00:04:20.560 That's great.

00:04:21.260 Oh, I've come unfrozen.

00:04:22.620 Okay, great.

00:04:23.300 So this is Justin Trudeau.

00:04:24.340 With the few strokes of a pen 40 years ago today, Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms

00:04:29.580 was adopted, built around our shared values of equality, justice, and freedom.

00:04:35.120 Okay.

00:04:36.060 It protects the rights and freedoms that define who we are as Canadians and bring us closer

00:04:40.960 as a country.

00:04:42.500 And, um, he's got a couple of tweets in this thread.

00:04:45.240 It continues to do that to this very day.

00:04:47.780 And as we work to build a fairer country and a better future for everyone, it's up to each

00:04:52.860 and every one of us to uphold our collective responsibility to the words enshrined in the

00:04:59.280 charter.

00:04:59.560 This is a guy who, 40 years later, with the stroke of a pen, seized bank accounts and all

00:05:09.320 of a sudden treated critics of his government's actions as though they were enemies of the

00:05:15.300 state, like ISIS terrorists.

00:05:17.000 He treated them literally under the law, like you would treat a terrorist cell, attacking

00:05:22.600 the financing, attacking the organization.

00:05:25.700 People were held in jail for weeks.

00:05:27.740 They're not allowed to attend other peaceful protests.

00:05:31.140 By the way, this was entirely peaceful.

00:05:32.820 This guy now has the audacity to say we have a collective responsibility to uphold the Charter

00:05:42.580 of Rights and Freedoms.

00:05:44.260 Horses trampled little ladies.

00:05:46.500 Journalists were shot with pepper spray.

00:05:51.060 And yet he's like, oh, canisters.

00:05:54.620 It brings us closer as a country.

00:05:56.980 Yeah, it did.

00:05:57.380 I think it united us against the tyranny of Justin Trudeau.

00:06:00.600 I've been to these conservative leadership events, and I think they are a direct result

00:06:06.700 of being unified against Justin Trudeau.

00:06:10.540 There are a ton of people when you go to these things where they're like, Sheila, I was an

00:06:14.240 NDP voter.

00:06:14.980 Don't hate me for it.

00:06:15.740 I'm like, look, I believe in redemption.

00:06:17.600 Good to see you.

00:06:18.580 Or I voted for Justin Trudeau.

00:06:20.640 But I saw what he did to the truckers.

00:06:23.440 And there has to be a better way.

00:06:25.320 You're seeing that all over the place.

00:06:27.260 I think that's why Pierre Polyev's crowds are enormous.

00:06:30.420 That's why I think there's so much enthusiasm around Lesley Lewis.

00:06:33.280 You have to remember, this is a boring old leadership campaign where only the people who

00:06:38.540 are allowed, the only people allowed to vote are people who are members of the party.

00:06:43.060 And you are seeing crowds larger than what you would normally see during an election campaign,

00:06:49.240 like two and three times larger than what you would see during an election campaign.

00:06:52.820 And that energy is not so much enthusiasm for, I don't know, Pierre Polyev, Lesley Lewis,

00:07:00.240 but enthusiasm to get rid of Justin Trudeau.

00:07:02.420 And it has a lot to do with his disregard of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:07:06.540 You know, it's shocking.

00:07:08.200 The sort of level of cognitive dissonance.

00:07:11.300 First of all, just Justin Trudeau generally.

00:07:15.080 Jagmeet Singh is literally tweeting, the conservatives and the liberals together have ramped up.

00:07:19.740 He just made an alliance with the liberals and is running into de facto sort of dictatorship

00:07:25.240 over Canadians.

00:07:26.380 Basically, he knows that no one's supporting Justin Trudeau anymore, but he wants to get

00:07:30.920 some of his policies in.

00:07:32.060 So he's willing to make a deal with the devil, even though he's wildly unpopular, to get a

00:07:35.620 few things in while tweeting how terrible it is.

00:07:38.440 But the degree, and some people believed it.

00:07:40.900 Some people actually followed it.

00:07:41.860 Most didn't.

00:07:42.500 Lots showed up at NDP offices to protest.

00:07:44.820 But I want to juxtapose.

00:07:46.980 We haven't been cheerleaders for Jason Kenney with some of the stuff that he's been happening

00:07:51.080 here.

00:07:51.280 But there is a clear juxtaposition here between someone who at least has some of their cognitive

00:07:57.400 faculties in place and has a base who holds him accountable in Jason Kenney and Justin

00:08:02.160 Trudeau.

00:08:02.900 Jason Kenney's not going to go around campaigning as a champion of freedom because he knows

00:08:07.160 he hasn't been, period.

00:08:08.900 He's saying, look how good I did on the economy.

00:08:11.160 Look at these contracts.

00:08:12.300 Look at these other things.

00:08:13.360 We've done some stuff to fix AHS.

00:08:15.240 Look at all this other good stuff I've done.

00:08:17.100 He's like, we had to do some of this bad stuff.

00:08:19.400 I don't agree with him that he had to do some of that bad stuff at all.

00:08:21.900 But he's not campaigning on that.

00:08:24.040 He has the common sense to be like, I'm not popular on this issue, but hopefully people

00:08:28.660 appreciate some of the other good stuff I've done.

00:08:31.340 We've talked to lots of people who are like, Jason Kenney's probably the right guy for the

00:08:34.760 job on 90% of issues, but he's flopped on freedom.

00:08:37.420 And that's most important to me.

00:08:38.500 That's why I can't support him.

00:08:39.660 But Justin Trudeau, who makes Jason Kenney look like a freedom crusader, Justin Trudeau,

00:08:45.180 who has been the number one militant advocate for running over old ladies with horses and

00:08:50.380 clamping down and freezing bank accounts and doing all of this, and furthermore generating

00:08:54.700 this type of political oppression.

00:08:56.820 He's inspiring people like Mayor Jyoti Gondek to do the things they're doing.

00:09:01.320 It goes from the head down, the fish rots from the head down, so to speak, as we've said

00:09:05.460 before.

00:09:05.800 But he actually, after all that, knows that the people still supporting him and still donating

00:09:11.980 to him won't dare question him out when he is flat out trampling on this charter.

00:09:17.820 His father was probably the last most dictatorial type prime minister we had.

00:09:22.760 He invoked martial law at a questionable time, but at the very least, there was a terrorist

00:09:26.540 incident going on.

00:09:28.560 At the very least, with the Front des Liberations du Québec, there was some sort of justification

00:09:32.120 for what was happening.

00:09:33.620 Now, most people would say overreach.

00:09:34.800 There's a whole bunch of other stuff in the legacy of Pierre Trudeau that's problematic,

00:09:38.580 but he looks like a lightweight compared to dictator Justin Trudeau.

00:09:42.880 He has gone so overboard.

00:09:44.360 And the sort of level, like I said, of cognitive dissonance among his supporters, the entire

00:09:48.660 world is looking...

00:09:49.660 Hang on here for a second.

00:09:49.860 You're meeting the queen.

00:09:51.620 You can't brush your hair?

00:09:53.100 Give me a...

00:09:53.620 Like, you know...

00:09:54.600 Anyway.

00:09:56.180 Yeah.

00:09:57.000 Look at her face.

00:09:57.940 She's like, this is ridiculous.

00:09:59.220 These people in this colony will not survive.

00:10:00.800 But just the level, people on social media being like, oh, well, you shouldn't...

00:10:09.200 It's not that bad.

00:10:10.260 It's not like we're in China.

00:10:11.480 It's not like we're in Venezuela.

00:10:12.780 It's not like we're in Poland pre-war.

00:10:15.040 You know what?

00:10:15.500 It's not.

00:10:16.020 But the people who were there are saying, be careful because this is how it starts.

00:10:19.740 And you're not listening to them.

00:10:21.060 There are over 5 million Canadians right now who cannot exercise their mobility rights

00:10:29.480 under that Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:10:32.300 They can't get on a plane.

00:10:33.640 They can't get on a train.

00:10:34.940 They can't visit their family for Easter because we are also one of the least densely populated,

00:10:41.580 if not the least densely populated country on the face of the earth and the world's second

00:10:46.120 largest.

00:10:47.120 Air travel and train travel is essential to get around inside of our own country.

00:10:51.860 And over 5 million of us cannot get on a plane or they are conscientious objectors

00:10:58.660 to the segregation system, so they refuse to.

00:11:03.320 And this guy's prattling on about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:11:06.500 He's also going to regulate the internet and control who isn't a journalist, by the way.

00:11:12.920 We've got to sue him in court for fair treatment under the tax law because he's decided that

00:11:18.980 we aren't qualified journalists and only 1% of the work we do is journalism.

00:11:23.220 We were live streaming day and night from the trucker's convoy.

00:11:26.940 What we do is journalism.

00:11:28.340 I'm working on access to information, which is paper trail journalism.

00:11:32.420 But it's not journalism that props up this authoritarian here.

00:11:38.260 So then we're not journalists, which is ridiculous.

00:11:40.980 And by the way, where's the overwhelming outrage from the other journalists in this country?

00:11:45.340 Yeah.

00:11:46.140 Yeah.

00:11:46.460 You know, the absolutely astonishing thing with this is, and I had no idea before I worked

00:11:53.680 for Rebel, how bad mainstream media is.

00:11:56.420 It is worse than you could possibly imagine.

00:11:58.720 Like they show up.

00:12:00.760 For example, we covered two Leslyn Lewis events.

00:12:03.100 They showed up for about four minutes and they got a clip where Dr. Leslyn Lewis was kind of like

00:12:08.800 backpedaling, not really, but a statement she made relating to COVID saying no, because someone

00:12:15.140 basically recharacterized what she had said and she clarified.

00:12:18.120 And they filmed her in the one point where she wasn't giving sort of epic Churchillian speech.

00:12:23.460 They got her backpedaling and they filmed that.

00:12:25.440 They got one shot of the crowd and left.

00:12:26.840 That was the one shot they got.

00:12:28.260 They didn't attend the other event.

00:12:29.340 They didn't attend that.

00:12:30.040 Um, they, they show up for three minutes.

00:12:32.220 They clear out.

00:12:32.780 We've seen it.

00:12:33.380 There was massive Cuban protests against the regime in Cuba, against the Castro and Diaz

00:12:38.900 regime, a canal regime, rather.

00:12:40.660 Um, and they, they literally were categorically, it was anti-communist mainstream media showed

00:12:47.080 up.

00:12:47.600 First of all, they only showed up for the first few minutes.

00:12:49.260 They got a shot of about 10 or 12 people there before the protest started on a couple

00:12:53.280 hundred people showed up.

00:12:54.480 And they said that they're protesting for vaccine access.

00:12:58.700 It's insane.

00:12:59.560 Like these people do not do news.

00:13:02.220 We're there for 10 hours when they're, they're there for five minutes.

00:13:05.360 We're doing real boots on the ground journalism.

00:13:07.600 And the thing that's most seconding about this is that their categorical failure to report

00:13:12.000 the facts accurately.

00:13:13.940 We don't pretend that we're not biased and we don't bring a sort of a perspective to this.

00:13:18.260 We're very upfront.

00:13:19.140 Sheila and I are about our faiths, about our backgrounds, about our beliefs, but we're

00:13:22.080 transparent about that.

00:13:22.860 But when we do news, we do news.

00:13:24.820 We don't twist the facts.

00:13:26.320 We may cast our own light on them, but we don't twist the facts.

00:13:29.160 We present them as they are.

00:13:30.800 These other outlets simply aren't doing that.

00:13:32.540 So I'll talk to friends.

00:13:33.740 I made a friend online recently.

00:13:35.320 He's actually an Iranian refugee.

00:13:38.260 He's a PhD candidate, super smart guy.

00:13:40.480 And I'm telling him about what's happening in Canada.

00:13:42.740 And he can't believe it.

00:13:43.620 I talked to even some of my own friends who are like, well, why are these people still

00:13:46.680 protesting?

00:13:47.760 And I'm like, a significant percentage of Canadians can't travel, can't visit people,

00:13:53.320 can't go see dying relatives, can't be there for a funeral because the government says we're

00:13:58.040 not allowed to fly.

00:13:58.760 We can pack into Costco's and movie theaters now, but arbitrarily we're not allowed to

00:14:02.420 fly with screening measures in place.

00:14:04.880 It's absolutely nonsensical.

00:14:06.160 And once people start to realize this, and the job of the media is not to pepper things

00:14:10.360 or indoctrinate the facts, the job of the media is to show the facts and then comment

00:14:14.360 on them.

00:14:14.760 That's perfectly acceptable.

00:14:16.260 That's what we do.

00:14:16.960 These other outlets aren't showing the facts.

00:14:18.780 They literally say, well, why are people protesting?

00:14:20.640 The restrictions are over.

00:14:22.300 They aren't over because we're not entirely free categorically.

00:14:26.500 And it's so sad that that is not out there.

00:14:30.280 Like the news simply isn't saying, well, the reason these people are still protesting is because

00:14:34.100 people can't travel, tens of thousands of people lost their job, never received severance,

00:14:38.540 so on and so forth.

00:14:39.680 The human toll, and we've sort of hugged these people, told their stories, been there with

00:14:44.460 them when they're weeping after 30 years of service with WestJet, having a medical condition,

00:14:49.060 almost dying from the first vaccine, their doctor telling them, you're going to have a

00:14:52.540 heart attack and die if you get a second vaccine.

00:14:54.360 These are people who weren't activists, weren't anti-vaxxers.

00:14:57.160 They had an adverse reaction.

00:14:58.480 They were shown in the road, fired, no severance.

00:15:01.460 Their lives are in shambles.

00:15:02.480 And there's no consequences whatsoever for companies like WestJet.

00:15:05.420 That is an extension of the mandate.

00:15:07.240 Until every one of those issues is resolved, the mandates simply are not over.

00:15:11.860 Yeah.

00:15:12.560 Going back to your point about the mainstream media, I was at a Pierre Pauly event.

00:15:17.260 We should have the story up later on today.

00:15:19.340 On Thursday at River Cree on Enoch First Nation, they have a resort casino there.

00:15:25.600 The venue was so packed, they could not allow any more people into the casino, let alone

00:15:33.080 the room where they were holding the event.

00:15:35.100 4,000 people.

00:15:36.700 The room held, I think, 2,500 plus another 1,500 in overflow.

00:15:41.280 Packed to the rafters.

00:15:42.720 They couldn't let anybody else up the stairs because they were worried about capacity in

00:15:47.300 a little, like, rafter area.

00:15:50.060 And the mainstream media was there maybe 25 minutes.

00:15:55.020 They missed most of the speech.

00:15:57.240 But I think it was as soon as Chief Billy Morin of Enoch First Nation came out and said, you

00:16:03.540 know, we should no longer be ashamed to be conservative.

00:16:06.560 He called the conservatives his family.

00:16:08.880 He's open, upfront, pro-business conservative.

00:16:11.220 Who endorsed his friend, his words, Pierre Pauly.

00:16:14.800 That was when the media is like, oh, we got to get out of here because the liberals are

00:16:21.720 the white saviors of Indigenous people, whereas, you know, it sounds like the Indigenous people

00:16:27.600 just want the government out of their way, as Chief Billy calls the gatekeepers of Ottawa,

00:16:32.580 get them out of our way.

00:16:33.660 And it's conservative policies that will allow them to do that.

00:16:37.420 As soon as that started happening, you could see them tearing down their equipment because

00:16:41.660 this didn't fit the narrative and they were gone.

00:16:44.200 And as long, I know the mainstream media hates us, but as long as they continue to be terrible,

00:16:50.820 there will always be work for people like me and Adam and Rebel News and True North and

00:16:56.380 Western Standard.

00:16:57.480 As long as the mainstream media continues to enforce the government narrative, there's going

00:17:02.820 to be plenty of work for alternative conservative media to tell the other side of the story.

00:17:09.400 And you know what?

00:17:09.860 I think the thing is, though, we can see mainstream media, the heads, the people who organize it,

00:17:14.620 they may not like us.

00:17:16.140 I honestly think that the journalists, to an extent, revere us, particularly old school

00:17:20.680 journalists.

00:17:21.040 I think they're jealous.

00:17:21.840 I think they're jealous.

00:17:22.880 Because they're like, look how free they are.

00:17:24.420 They get to talk about what they know and what they're passionate about.

00:17:27.820 But we walk in and they're asked, like, I've been at this a year and change.

00:17:32.880 People will come up and say, so like, what's it like?

00:17:35.020 And how do you do this?

00:17:35.760 And how do you manage to cover that?

00:17:37.060 And like, what's your oversight?

00:17:38.800 I'm like, hey, Sheila, people are interested in this.

00:17:40.960 I'm going to go do it.

00:17:41.540 And you say yes.

00:17:42.560 And then you make sure I don't say anything crazy, which I'm usually pretty good about.

00:17:45.540 We're doing active journalism, finding stories.

00:17:48.240 It's not, here's a thing to say, go stand here.

00:17:51.360 Everyone's going to wear the same suit and regurgitate the exact same line.

00:17:54.860 Um, it's wild though.

00:17:56.840 One of the wildest things.

00:17:57.820 I didn't see this myself, but I had several people tell me, I can't remember which outlet

00:18:01.080 it is, so I won't say, but one outlet for the Calgary Pear Poly Ever event said hundreds

00:18:06.100 turned up.

00:18:07.400 The most conservative estimate for the Calgary event is five to 6,000.

00:18:13.880 The highest estimates are 8,000.

00:18:17.300 Yeah.

00:18:18.260 And that's, that was capacity inside.

00:18:20.460 I didn't know if there's people outside cooling there, but to say hundreds, we see this

00:18:23.720 at the Calgary protest as well, which we can segue into organically here.

00:18:26.880 Um, we'll see them when there are 7,000 people come out, say hundreds when there's 500, they

00:18:33.780 say about a hundred.

00:18:34.980 I'm like, listen, I, I, and don't get me wrong.

00:18:37.040 People at the protests, I've heard people at the protests say, oh, there's 20,000, 20,000

00:18:41.440 people there.

00:18:42.000 No, there was, there was seven.

00:18:43.720 If someone were to convince me 10, sure.

00:18:45.640 There wasn't 20,000 people.

00:18:46.840 Sorry to burst your bubble.

00:18:47.780 But then the media says like a thousand, like, no, no, there was 7,000 or hundreds when there's

00:18:54.320 thousands, it's unbelievable.

00:18:55.820 And it's just irresponsible reporting.

00:18:57.620 And I know sometimes they're going based on the police estimates, but the police will

00:19:01.600 say if there's a thousand, they'll say six, 700, they don't go so ridiculous, but you

00:19:05.320 can see the size of this crap.

00:19:07.720 This I think is in at river Cree because it has, this is Calgary.

00:19:11.760 Was it that looked like, yeah, that was Calgary for sure.

00:19:16.540 Yeah.

00:19:16.840 Yeah.

00:19:17.300 Yeah.

00:19:17.720 I was up there.

00:19:18.280 Yeah.

00:19:18.820 Yeah.

00:19:19.120 Hey, look at me.

00:19:19.700 There you are.

00:19:20.700 Yeah.

00:19:21.180 Yeah.

00:19:21.540 Packed house though.

00:19:22.840 Equiplex, uh, the massive facility there and packed to the brim.

00:19:27.120 Um, everyone is saying they'd never seen a political event like this.

00:19:30.240 Um, Justin Trudola probably couldn't get a crowd like this and it's wild to see to your

00:19:35.080 point, to your point earlier though.

00:19:36.520 I do think though, for the first time in a long time, it isn't just, well, who's going

00:19:41.040 to be against Justin Trudeau?

00:19:43.100 Let's settle on somebody.

00:19:44.140 I actually think that there is active excitement over some of these campaigns.

00:19:47.880 We saw Pierre, uh, Leslie Lewis, for example, Dr. Leslie Lewis come, come in on the second

00:19:52.680 ballot.

00:19:53.400 She got the popular vote.

00:19:54.700 She dominated the Western provinces.

00:19:57.300 Pierre Polyevre from Calgary, he gave a speech about which bus he would take to get to which

00:20:01.780 school and all that kind of stuff that people are actively excited and attending.

00:20:06.440 And, and, and I think that there is an element of, it's no longer actually just about defeating

00:20:13.280 Justin Trudeau.

00:20:14.440 It's about people.

00:20:15.740 Justin Trudeau has created this atmosphere and it's sad that it went away post Harper.

00:20:19.640 We had the conservatives who are trying not to lose instead of conservatives being like,

00:20:23.080 no, I have the best ideas.

00:20:24.200 Get out of my way.

00:20:24.760 I'm going to fix this country.

00:20:25.860 Um, we're back to that conservatives who are like, no, your ideas are bad.

00:20:30.360 Our ideas are best for everyone.

00:20:32.180 And we're going to enact them, I think that horrible way for two years and you ruined

00:20:36.920 everybody's lives.

00:20:38.060 Yeah.

00:20:38.700 Yeah.

00:20:39.480 Yeah.

00:20:39.780 So I think that there is some active excitement for the political, uh, conversation federally,

00:20:46.120 at least I think provincially, we still have some of that.

00:20:48.880 Well, no, one's really excited about Kenny, but nobody knows who could possibly step in,

00:20:54.340 but federally, at least there is some excitement, some anticipation.

00:20:57.400 Um, very much though, I, I do think that lots of these federal candidates, uh, Pierre and

00:21:02.980 Dr.

00:21:03.280 Lesnar Lewis were pretty upfront about criticizing, uh, the attacks on freedom.

00:21:07.620 Lots of other people seem to be jumping on the bandwagon now that it's popular who said

00:21:11.600 nothing this whole time.

00:21:12.460 So something to watch closely, but yeah, Justin Trudeau is in no position to be celebrating

00:21:16.760 the 40th anniversary.

00:21:18.440 Um, I'm sure his father is, uh, rolling over or whatever, um, situation he's in, but he's,

00:21:23.780 he's not pleased with him, which says, which says a lot.

00:21:26.420 Uh, yeah, you mentioned Calgary.

00:21:30.660 So let's move into what's happening in Calgary.

00:21:34.180 Still the honking band continues.

00:21:36.160 I was in Calgary last night.

00:21:37.320 I saw the signs up, um, that apparently it's still white supremacy and terrorism to be honking

00:21:44.280 your horn in downtown Calgary.

00:21:46.480 Um, they didn't hand out any fines over the weekend, but they are, they're hunting honkers.

00:21:52.020 Are they not?

00:21:52.660 Um, yeah, so it was the same thing.

00:21:55.120 I think honestly, because we were there filming, catching them, handing out tickets and it's

00:21:59.900 not great optics.

00:22:01.020 They're like, we're not going to hand out tickets anymore in person.

00:22:03.720 Um, so we're seeing the same, it's the same guy last weekend and this weekend standing at

00:22:07.060 that exact same spot.

00:22:08.500 Um, they're either taking pictures or writing.

00:22:10.560 They seem to change every week when we report what they're doing the next week, they'll do

00:22:13.220 something slightly different.

00:22:14.280 Um, but they are documenting them likely mailing tickets out after the fact or warnings or whatever

00:22:19.440 it may be.

00:22:20.060 Um, we'll see, given how wild this government is and how militant Jyoti is, um, it's not

00:22:26.200 impossible that they go after one of these people with this court injunction and make,

00:22:31.000 try to make an example of someone else.

00:22:32.620 Cause they've said repeatedly that if people are honking, they can actually enforce an injunction

00:22:37.300 against them as a sort of criminal contempt proceeding for honking.

00:22:41.380 But that they're graciously only handing out tickets instead.

00:22:44.700 So hopefully they don't have the, uh, the audacity to do that.

00:22:47.960 But, uh, I mean, even, even mailing out tickets is ridiculous, but you know, this whole thing,

00:22:52.900 it is so wildly like unnecessary Jyoti Gondek needs to go.

00:22:57.780 She's absolutely like stark raving mad.

00:23:00.080 And she just got there.

00:23:02.100 Yeah.

00:23:02.540 And their popularity is plummeting.

00:23:04.360 She's basically, and I wasn't in favor of the arena deal.

00:23:06.680 I don't think we should be spending that much money.

00:23:08.320 Then again, when you're at the saddle dome, it is kind of ratchet, but you know,

00:23:11.240 whatever, um, I I'd rather have cheaper tickets than a brand new facility.

00:23:14.820 Um, I wasn't in favor of that, but they spent millions of dollars getting that deal done.

00:23:18.760 And then they've now blown it up and scrapped it.

00:23:21.840 And then they're now working on re-striking the committee and they're going to get a worse

00:23:25.360 deal.

00:23:25.540 It's like the jets.

00:23:26.380 They, they, they could have gotten for $2 billion less.

00:23:28.880 Um, they scrapped it, bought these terrible jets.

00:23:30.860 And then seven years later, whatever it is, they're like, you know what?

00:23:33.160 We're just going to spend $2 billion more on the F-35s.

00:23:35.340 Um, that's the type of governing she's doing.

00:23:37.580 It's just all she she's in a, she's in a, and I mean, it's, it's all these counselors,

00:23:42.520 they get in a mood about something and they don't care what the cost is.

00:23:45.340 They're going to make an example.

00:23:46.760 Um, and that's what we're seeing here.

00:23:48.720 Yeah.

00:23:49.260 Yeah, exactly.

00:23:50.120 This entire injunction was wholly unnecessary.

00:23:53.460 They 100, I mean, I can't speak for the organizers.

00:23:55.940 We just cover these reports, but if they went to the organizers and said, listen, the,

00:24:01.100 the people in this community are really upset.

00:24:02.940 This is a ton of police resources.

00:24:04.680 Are you open to like every two weeks marching instead of every week?

00:24:08.260 Um, are you open to different routes?

00:24:09.780 They probably would have compromised because guess what?

00:24:11.900 They've been willing to go to this part, go to this part.

00:24:14.740 We're going to walk on this road.

00:24:15.840 We're going to walk on that route.

00:24:16.880 There was a million things they could have done without stifling and trampling free speech

00:24:20.980 and freedom of expression and right to protest.

00:24:22.820 But Jyoti Gontek wanted to do those things.

00:24:25.300 They intentionally set out to target and stifle this.

00:24:29.160 And we saw it with the arbitrary enforcement, the, the, the wrongful arrest

00:24:32.620 and release of pastor Derek Reimer.

00:24:34.400 Um, this is clearly just politically motivated and it's so bureaucratic and so inept that

00:24:39.500 they keep screwing up.

00:24:40.620 The cops don't know what the injunction rules are.

00:24:43.480 We saw the arrest when we can jump to this clip, uh, Devlin Gannon, uh, they were citing

00:24:48.100 part of the injunction.

00:24:49.040 That's not even in the injunction during the arrest.

00:24:51.260 Same thing, pastor Derek Reimer.

00:24:52.860 They thought he broke the injunction.

00:24:53.940 Turned out he didn't, but, but, uh, let's go to this clip.

00:24:57.000 Devlin Gannon, um, was, uh, arrested.

00:24:59.880 He was simply talking to police.

00:25:01.380 He was shoved effectively hauled.

00:25:04.580 They, they arrested him so aggressively.

00:25:05.800 They actually ripped.

00:25:06.520 He wasn't a shirtless guy to protest.

00:25:08.380 They yanked him so hard.

00:25:09.580 They ripped his shirt and sweater off in one go.

00:25:12.720 Um, and then one of the cops who was yanking him tripped over a 12 year old kid and fell.

00:25:17.520 And he's now saying that Devlin threw him or aggravated, assaulted him.

00:25:22.100 So they're charging him with that.

00:25:23.400 But the footage is right there.

00:25:25.060 They haven't, to the best of my knowledge, we'll touch base with Devlin, Devlin, but they

00:25:28.440 haven't retracted those assault charges, even though the cop just tripped and they're saying

00:25:32.160 he threw him.

00:25:32.960 But so he's banned from attending these protests.

00:25:34.980 An independent journalist who was just there covering the thing he's banned.

00:25:38.800 So he attended in an extremely interesting fashion, um, cause he can't come in person.

00:25:43.720 So Mocha and, uh, Celine were on location this weekend, um, and he, he showed up, uh, digitally.

00:25:48.940 So if we can pull that, uh, clip up, it was pretty funny.

00:25:53.920 So just behind us, we have Devlin Gannon, who is an independent journalist and was arrested

00:25:59.040 a few weeks ago at one of the Calgary protests.

00:26:01.940 Well, March 18th, an injunction came out and then Devlin spent the whole night studying

00:26:07.020 the injunction.

00:26:07.900 Yeah, that's good.

00:26:08.580 Just the shot of that, uh, the wagon and the cart there.

00:26:13.220 Everything was fine.

00:26:14.780 We can cut the video.

00:26:15.620 That's good.

00:26:16.240 Yeah, that's good.

00:26:17.660 Yeah.

00:26:17.940 So they, they had him on a cart with a TV and he always wears the same sweater, the

00:26:22.080 one they ripped off of him.

00:26:23.220 So they rolled him up to this protest.

00:26:25.840 It'd become ungovernable.

00:26:27.460 Um, but this is the type of, of nonsense you're seeing here.

00:26:30.580 Um, don't get me wrong.

00:26:31.640 So I, I understand like there, there was a couple of incidents where, um, some of the

00:26:35.280 counter protesters became violent and the cops had to intercede and use some force.

00:26:38.920 I completely understand that, but you can go watch my interview with Devlin.

00:26:41.960 And it's in that tweet, uh, I'm sure you'll be able to find it there.

00:26:44.580 And, and it's, it's wild to see what's happening completely unnecessary.

00:26:48.160 There was a million peaceful solutions, but, um, these people wanted to make an example.

00:26:53.040 Um, yeah, that's so great there.

00:26:54.400 These people wanted to make the microphone.

00:26:58.820 Um, that's amazing.

00:27:02.340 So good.

00:27:02.940 That's so good.

00:27:03.440 Yeah.

00:27:03.840 Yeah.

00:27:04.520 Yeah.

00:27:05.240 Um, so yeah, still, still heading out good for him, but, uh, yeah, completely unnecessary.

00:27:09.420 People continue to protest.

00:27:11.080 Um, it seems like the bulk of the enforcement, them keeping them away from anywhere that's

00:27:15.960 over.

00:27:16.300 They're kind of being allowed to protest in city hall.

00:27:18.280 They then go for a traffic law compliant walk through town.

00:27:22.220 And it's, it's, they, they basically just moved from the belt line to Steven Avenue, which

00:27:27.320 is a pedestrian walkway.

00:27:28.480 So I guess somehow that's better.

00:27:30.040 Um, but again, sad to see this sort of ideological enforcement and, uh, targeting by these politicians,

00:27:35.780 no doubt taking example from the guy who's just celebrating the signing of the charter of

00:27:39.960 rights and freedoms, Justin Trudeau.

00:27:41.280 Before we move on to, um, other free speech issues, as in maybe Elon Musk is going to take

00:27:49.920 back the town square, digital town square, uh, through, uh, a biode of Twitter.

00:27:57.780 But, uh, before we do, I just see a note from our, uh, store channel in Slack, um, that says

00:28:08.380 that we have new merch up in the rebel news store and it is great because it is for the

00:28:15.860 rebel news mom love, like the mom in your life who loves rebel news, or she is one of

00:28:23.340 those ungovernable moms.

00:28:24.660 And maybe she believes in traditional gender rules, which is apparently an act of rebellion.

00:28:29.740 Maybe she's still married to your dad.

00:28:32.180 That's also an act of rebellion.

00:28:34.560 Maybe she stays at home to raise her kids.

00:28:36.620 Also an act of rebellion.

00:28:37.720 Maybe when, um, little Johnny comes home from school and says, I'm not sure if I want to

00:28:43.020 be a girl or maybe a fire engine today.

00:28:45.900 She's like, Johnny, you can play make believe, but you're definitely still always my Johnny,

00:28:51.400 my little boy.

00:28:52.280 Also big time act of rebellion these days.

00:28:54.900 So if you go to rebel news store.com, you'll find a bunch of new merch, but it's not just

00:29:00.920 for the rebel mom in your life.

00:29:03.160 We've got rebel mom stuff, which I think is great.

00:29:06.340 And the ladies fit shirts.

00:29:07.860 So if you are a lady who wears a ladies fit, I'm definitely not that lady, but if you are,

00:29:13.340 um, there's stuff there for you.

00:29:15.040 We've got baby stuff.

00:29:16.140 My mom is a rebel.

00:29:17.600 Got rebel mom hats, hoodies.

00:29:19.580 That hoodie's really nice.

00:29:20.880 Um, but there are other stuff like rebel grandma.

00:29:26.960 Nice.

00:29:28.300 Yes.

00:29:29.580 I know my mother-in-law is definitely a rebel grandma.

00:29:32.160 Um, so anyways, if you go to rebel news store.com, you can get a couple of things there.

00:29:37.040 Maybe you want to get something for your wife and your baby or your wife and your mom or wife

00:29:43.420 and mother-in-law, you can use the coupon code mom 25 and it'll give you 25% off the

00:29:49.580 second item in the store.

00:29:52.080 And there's free global shipping there.

00:29:54.340 But I would suggest that if you are going to order for mother's day, uh, just because

00:29:59.740 we're dealing with shipping and all that good stuff that you sort of order before the end

00:30:05.500 of the month to get it to your family, um, in time for mother's day.

00:30:09.560 But yeah, we put a bunch of new stuff in there and I'm really excited about it because it

00:30:13.400 just, it's like, you might not know it's from the rebel news store, but it's like a wink

00:30:18.300 to the other moms.

00:30:19.520 And they're like, Hey, I'm like you too.

00:30:22.360 And here's an idea.

00:30:24.260 Go to the rebel news store for that, that ultra liberal mother-in-law and get something

00:30:30.500 that doesn't say rebel on it, but you'll always know, uh, get something nice from the

00:30:35.760 store for, but in all seriousness, we're about a month out from mother's day here.

00:30:39.560 Um, don't go to the grocery store last minute and get some kind of math flowers.

00:30:43.200 You can get some flowers too, but get, get something that means something a rebel going

00:30:47.500 to the rebel news store.

00:30:48.620 Um, if, if you're, if your grandma, if your mom, if whoever it is, is a rebel news supporter,

00:30:54.060 it supports us in two ways.

00:30:55.360 One, it's great to have moms out there representing rebel news saying that they're part of this.

00:30:59.820 It may even generate a conversation with some other moms who maybe aren't happy with mainstream

00:31:03.940 media, lame stream media, and they want to, uh, to have some different sources of information,

00:31:08.460 start those conversations, but those purchases that you make there also help us do independent

00:31:13.760 journalism.

00:31:14.200 Unlike stealing money through your taxes, which the government does proficiently.

00:31:18.560 Um, you actually get a cool shirt out of it and you're also supporting our independent

00:31:21.820 journalism.

00:31:22.240 So that's really great too.

00:31:23.300 So yeah, definitely go to rebel news store.com, get those orders in now.

00:31:26.960 And the code is mom 25 for buy one, get one 25% off, get a shirt for mom, get a shirt

00:31:31.680 for grandma, save some money and support you get one for you.

00:31:35.440 Yeah.

00:31:35.580 I'm going to go get some.

00:31:36.640 Yeah.

00:31:36.780 That's awesome.

00:31:37.380 There's some good stuff there.

00:31:38.520 So yeah.

00:31:39.780 Rebel new star.com.

00:31:41.160 I'm really excited to the rebel mom stuff.

00:31:44.040 Um, yeah, I'm sure we'll see a ton of those out at the protests because there are a lot

00:31:48.640 of ladies out there who, and you know, it's funny because it really is the moms who are

00:31:53.760 leading the charge against, um, you know, the gender ideology and CRT and all those creeping

00:32:00.240 pervasive things that are coming into their children's lives and seeing their children

00:32:03.600 robbed of opportunities because mediocre men want to all of a sudden play girls sports.

00:32:10.920 Um, it's the moms who are leading the charge there as they always have, I guess.

00:32:15.220 Yep.

00:32:15.340 It's amazing.

00:32:15.840 It's amazing.

00:32:16.580 Politicians haven't learned this as soon as you, you, uh, aggravate the moms.

00:32:20.940 I was going to say another word, but, uh, as soon as you get the moms involved, it's

00:32:24.820 over.

00:32:25.140 Um, the McGinty government learned that the amount of governments that have learned that

00:32:28.400 like, once the mom, once you mess with it, once you wake up mama bear, ultimately you

00:32:32.300 are in a world of trouble.

00:32:33.520 So, uh, get the mama bear in your life.

00:32:36.300 Yeah.

00:32:36.740 Yeah.

00:32:37.080 Yep.

00:32:37.460 Loudoun County was the moms and the one dad, but I mean, it's when you, when you start meddling

00:32:43.880 with kids, that's when, uh, all of a sudden apolitical moms are a political juggernaut.

00:32:50.280 Um, we should move on to, uh, on the, I'm frozen again, the social hellscape of Twitter.

00:33:01.340 Yeah.

00:33:02.380 Yeah.

00:33:02.980 Yeah.

00:33:03.220 Let's talk, let's talk Twitter hellscape.

00:33:05.300 You, you take it away.

00:33:07.320 Cause I'm frozen.

00:33:08.240 And it's ironic because I rely on Starlink for my internet connection.

00:33:13.500 Thanks Elon.

00:33:14.720 Jeez Louise.

00:33:15.760 Here we are singing your praise and yeah.

00:33:18.180 So this is such an interesting situation because, uh, obviously the board from Twitter, all

00:33:22.720 of whom make, I think two, $300,000, basically a year for this part-time job that they do.

00:33:27.320 I'm doing little, um, ultimately, um, they have brought on interested interest in the company,

00:33:33.280 by the way, most of them own zero shares.

00:33:35.740 Don't even tweet, but okay.

00:33:38.000 Yeah.

00:33:38.220 Anyway, sorry to interrupt.

00:33:39.220 Go ahead.

00:33:39.380 Wild.

00:33:39.880 So, and I think it's Goldman Sachs.

00:33:41.340 They brought on.

00:33:41.860 So Goldman Sachs very recently valued shares at $30.

00:33:44.960 Um, Elon Musk is offering 54 20, um, to go private.

00:33:49.340 This is basically like a, uh, jackpot for shareholders.

00:33:53.560 Um, so they basically voted against it.

00:33:55.540 They're trying to poison pill it, which basically allows board members to buy out a bunch of the

00:33:59.780 stocks.

00:34:00.160 They create more stocks.

00:34:01.140 They make it, uh, untenable.

00:34:02.760 Um, but basically what Elon Musk is intending to do here is have it go straight to the shareholders,

00:34:08.100 have them have the capacity to vote.

00:34:09.620 He's also said that if he's successful in that he'll immediately fire the board and he will

00:34:13.820 take no salary saving Twitter, $3 million a year.

00:34:16.580 Um, so a very interesting circumstance here, but, and as was talked about this, you've talked

00:34:21.560 about this.

00:34:22.340 It's so apparent and so glaring that what they're not willing to let go of is because from a

00:34:29.160 business perspective, a $30 share, you're being offered $54.

00:34:33.400 You're not going to double that kind of growth in years.

00:34:36.200 It's just from a business perspective, it's yeah, um, what this is about is control.

00:34:40.600 They're like, we want to be able to control the message out there.

00:34:42.920 We don't want a diversity of opinions.

00:34:45.240 We don't want an open square.

00:34:46.640 We want Tiananmen square, and we don't care if it's billions of dollars.

00:34:50.060 That's not what we're interested in.

00:34:51.340 We're interested in controlling this.

00:34:53.160 Um, they are showing their cards and that's one thing, whatever you may think of Elon Musk,

00:34:56.360 he's definitely good at forcing people with all that money of his to show his cards.

00:35:00.460 Um, also one of the few people who's made a ton of money and then does some interesting

00:35:03.440 things with it instead of sitting on it.

00:35:05.060 Um, so, uh, very interesting to see what's going to, what's going to shake out with this.

00:35:10.940 Um, I know recently he was interviewed and I think it was a Ted talk.

00:35:14.360 Um, and he basically said, even with the poison pill plan, he's got alternatives.

00:35:17.980 I think he's already talking about the intention.

00:35:20.400 Yeah.

00:35:20.900 Yeah.

00:35:21.200 So the intention with the poison pill plan B speaking of the poison pill, um, but the intention

00:35:25.040 with that is to make it untenable for him to be able to afford it.

00:35:30.880 But I imagine, and this is just me sort of spitballing, but I imagine he's already talking

00:35:35.820 with additional investors who would, um, in the interest of free speech, uh, be willing

00:35:41.140 to outbid their poison pill strategy by bringing some other people in to the private ownership,

00:35:47.020 but it remains to be seen what's going to happen there.

00:35:49.620 But it's, it's such an evident, um, sort of ideological bid here to protect their platform,

00:35:57.560 their soapbox, their capacity to restrict, uh, the ideas that are out there.

00:36:02.240 And we're talking about billions and billions of dollars that they're willing to not make

00:36:05.680 to protect this platform for themselves and their ideas.

00:36:08.740 Well, and that's the thing about Twitter is, you know, like a lot of people say, who, who

00:36:14.020 cares about Twitter?

00:36:15.720 We shouldn't care about Twitter, but Twitter is where headlines are made and broken.

00:36:21.540 It's where the journalists meet.

00:36:23.900 Um, and that's why I guess they're so censorious over there is because we don't want to have

00:36:29.820 journalists have their feelings hurt when the public says to them, you got this story

00:36:35.000 wrong.

00:36:35.360 You're awful.

00:36:36.480 Um, that's why there's so many rules about harm on Twitter.

00:36:40.340 It's because the public can actually speak directly to a journalist there and tell them

00:36:44.960 exactly what they think of how bad they got the story.

00:36:47.380 Um, and so that's one of the reasons why they're so like the board is so uptight about Twitter

00:36:53.940 is it plays such an important role, even though it's a dying platform because normal people

00:36:59.960 are getting off of it, but it like any cult.

00:37:02.740 And unfortunately I'm part of it, I guess, but the normal people leave, but the true believers

00:37:09.280 stay behind the more radical they stay behind and they continue to reinforce their own opinions.

00:37:14.200 And I'm sort of in there still grinding against all of it.

00:37:17.020 But as the normals leave, this becomes the, the power continues to be concentrated in this

00:37:23.680 space where all the decisions about what stories are going to be aired and what narrative is

00:37:28.900 going to play out.

00:37:29.980 That's where it's happening, unfortunately is on Twitter.

00:37:32.620 And so that's why they don't want to release the stranglehold on it, um, and allow more

00:37:36.620 diverse, uh, viewpoint, um, happening there.

00:37:40.780 And former Twitter CEO who continues to look like some sort of cult leader, uh, speaking

00:37:48.220 of cult leaders, Jack Dorsey, he came out against all of this.

00:37:52.720 He's slamming the company that he once ran the board of directors in a tweet over the

00:37:58.400 weekend, which causes entrepreneur Elon Musk, the world's richest man offered $43 billion

00:38:02.660 to buy the company.

00:38:04.260 Dorsey was responding to the following tweet when he made his remark.

00:38:07.560 If look into the history of the Twitter board, it's intriguing.

00:38:10.900 As I was a witness on its early, early beginnings, mired in plots and coups, and particularly amongst

00:38:17.420 Twitter's founding members, I wish if it could be made a Hollywood thriller one day.

00:38:24.740 Um, okay, but thanks for nothing.

00:38:28.060 Why are you saying this now when you don't, uh, you can't fix it.

00:38:32.820 You oversaw this, uh, sinister cabal of censorious weirdos.

00:38:39.300 You didn't do anything about it when you had the power to do it.

00:38:41.480 And so now you're safely outside of it and rich.

00:38:43.880 And now you get, now you're a critic of it.

00:38:47.220 Give me a break.

00:38:48.240 Yeah.

00:38:48.480 Thanks for showing up, Jack.

00:38:51.200 I think he, I think he is on the board still because someone asked about that and he said,

00:38:54.740 I technically can't even be saying this.

00:38:56.360 I don't care anymore.

00:38:57.160 Oh, right.

00:38:57.620 Yeah.

00:38:57.760 One thing that we want, one positive we can take from this though, is look at all these

00:39:02.480 politicians now jumping the bandwagon towards freedom.

00:39:05.160 It inspires some hope that freedom might be on the horizon.

00:39:09.200 Jack is, is, smells the blood in the water and he's trying to get back on the ship.

00:39:13.240 And Elon's currently, uh, running the SpaceX ship.

00:39:16.960 Um, so I think at the very least we can take from this Dorsey, I think is probably self-serving

00:39:22.720 in this sentiment.

00:39:23.300 Maybe not.

00:39:23.920 Maybe he's thinking he might have something to do with Elon when it, when it gets going

00:39:28.000 again.

00:39:28.720 Um, but I think at the very least we can hopefully take something from this, but I do want to

00:39:32.680 talk about this sort of, and if we can pull up, I think, was it MSNBC where the panel

00:39:36.920 was sitting around talking, saying it's their job.

00:39:39.440 If we can pull up that clip, if not, we can talk about it, but we saw this ridiculous juxtaposition

00:39:44.080 of the wall street journal articles, um, about when a Bezos, I think bought wall street

00:39:48.940 journal.

00:39:49.240 Right.

00:39:49.960 Um, and they were saying that it's like, Oh, it's like a brave new era and all this positivity

00:39:54.020 and it's a open up to new channels and dah, dah, dah, dah.

00:39:57.120 And then Elon Musk goes to buy Twitter and it's like, Oh, like a, uh, uh, an attack on freedom

00:40:02.100 and a descent into darkness.

00:40:03.920 It's the, it's the, you're taking the richest people in the world and they're buying communications

00:40:07.300 outlets and news outlets, whatever it may be.

00:40:09.520 And depending on whether he owns your outlet or not, it's, it's good news or it's bad news.

00:40:14.120 It's pretty shocking, but there is this clip from MSNBC where they're sitting around saying

00:40:18.440 how Trump, yeah, got it.

00:40:19.980 Okay.

00:40:20.100 Let's, let's run that.

00:40:20.920 And, uh, Tesla CEO, Elon, uh, uh, uh, Musk who has made a $43 billion offer for Twitter

00:40:31.260 to quote, build an arena for free speech.

00:40:34.940 Musk has accused Twitter of censoring his users.

00:40:38.820 Are you concerned that what Musk is trying to do is to open up the platform for more misinformation

00:40:45.420 about topics such as COVID-19 and the 2020 election, and perhaps even allow former president

00:40:53.580 Trump to get his account back?

00:40:56.680 I mean, I'm going to be honest.

00:40:58.340 Elon Musk is a danger to Twitter and to freedom of speech.

00:41:01.940 He has been known to say some of the most transphobic and homophobic things to his millions

00:41:07.740 of followers.

00:41:08.660 So creating an arena for hate to me, that's what that sounds like.

00:41:12.820 We can cut it there.

00:41:13.420 There was another, there was another, there's another one.

00:41:16.200 I'll, I found it.

00:41:17.120 It was, uh, I think Twitchy had it.

00:41:19.960 Um, and basically she says it's our job to control exactly what people think.

00:41:27.060 Yeah.

00:41:27.600 They're basically saying Elon Musk is trying to control what people think.

00:41:30.760 And that's our job as the mainstream media.

00:41:33.460 It's absolutely wild.

00:41:35.640 And that's something that I find so interesting is, is what I think you're sending that over.

00:41:38.340 Probably, uh, Elon Musk, he, he's such a juxtaposition because he's kind of out there.

00:41:42.960 Um, he, he, he's, he's a, he's a capitalist, but his, his companies are very often considered

00:41:49.040 green and very popular among liberals.

00:41:51.540 Um, he's, he's progressive in many policies, but then he's also a very big advocate for freedom

00:41:56.940 of speech.

00:41:57.420 So he's an interesting sort of conversation generator because he doesn't fit into any of

00:42:02.320 these boxes for people.

00:42:03.980 People love his products, but hate him or love him, but hate his products.

00:42:07.580 Um, and it's interesting because lots of the people who don't like his ideologies, like

00:42:11.140 his products and lots of people who might be in support of his position on free speech

00:42:14.480 probably don't really care for Tesla and think it's silly.

00:42:17.180 I'm in the second silo there.

00:42:21.960 Yeah.

00:42:22.880 So it's, and I find that so absolutely interesting, but yeah, he, they're saying, oh, he's trying

00:42:26.680 to control free speech.

00:42:28.080 That's our job.

00:42:29.000 We're the ones who are supposed to give you the ideas.

00:42:30.460 And you can see her as she's saying that in that clip, sort of, do we have that now?

00:42:36.560 I sent it over living.

00:42:37.940 Oh, okay.

00:42:38.400 Perfect.

00:42:38.820 Here we go.

00:42:39.420 This is it.

00:42:39.780 This is it.

00:42:43.460 Who were Trump voters and are still Trump supporters.

00:42:46.840 They go, yeah, you guys are going crazy.

00:42:48.940 He's doing, what are you so surprised about?

00:42:50.960 He's doing exactly what he said he's going to do.

00:42:54.360 Well, and I think that the dangerous edges here are that he's trying to undermine the

00:43:00.740 media, trying to make up his own facts.

00:43:03.460 And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined

00:43:10.640 the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think.

00:43:16.460 And that is the, that is our job.

00:43:18.400 Yeah.

00:43:18.600 If you look at the issues, Yamiche is right.

00:43:21.860 She just slides it right in there.

00:43:23.280 You said it's, yeah, and that is our job.

00:43:26.500 And afterwards, yeah, afterwards she's like, should I?

00:43:29.520 Yeah, no, it's probably fine.

00:43:30.620 That is our job.

00:43:31.640 That that's not actually our job.

00:43:33.900 Our job is to be like, here's some facts.

00:43:35.500 Here's what we think about it.

00:43:36.400 What do you think about it?

00:43:37.660 And that's, that's exactly the crux of it.

00:43:39.900 That reveals everything.

00:43:41.300 Twitter should have been a platform where people can present their ideas.

00:43:45.020 This is what YouTube used to be as well.

00:43:46.840 Everyone can present their ideas.

00:43:48.200 And as long as they don't violate sort of hate crime laws, people can weigh in on them and

00:43:52.560 they get downvoted and hated if they're bad and upvoted and retweeted and all that, if

00:43:57.420 they're good.

00:43:57.840 And it's very much the public platform for exchange of ideas.

00:44:00.780 It is the public square, except online, because that's where we're moving.

00:44:05.600 And 100%, there are certain limitations, like inciting violence, inciting hatred, all those

00:44:11.060 types of things.

00:44:11.520 But that's not what they're talking about.

00:44:12.620 What they want to do is, is groupthink.

00:44:15.300 They want to control your thoughts entirely.

00:44:17.640 And they view this stranglehold of Twitter as one of the sort of staples of their control

00:44:22.800 on your thoughts.

00:44:23.580 And when you see people out there, to go back to our conversations from so far this morning,

00:44:27.780 saying, well, the media tells me the mandates are over.

00:44:30.380 The media tells me only a couple hundred people showed up.

00:44:33.240 The media tells me that Justin Trudeau is a defender of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:44:37.420 The media tells me this, that, and the other thing.

00:44:39.260 But the majority of things from people who just consume mainstream media that they hold

00:44:44.680 to be true is rather evidently and evidenced as not true when you look at the world objectively,

00:44:51.380 when you go out and cover these things for yourself.

00:44:54.020 It's a sentiment that we've heard time and time again from people at these protests is

00:44:57.960 they're like, I'm vaccinated and I'm for vaccination personally, but I don't think other

00:45:02.120 people should be, or whatever it may be.

00:45:03.960 They're saying, come out to these things for yourself.

00:45:06.580 Talk to people.

00:45:07.260 Don't believe the one clip of the one more extreme guy at a rally that the news hand-selected

00:45:12.680 to feed their narrative.

00:45:13.980 Come out and check out the facts for yourself.

00:45:16.120 Come out to a rally for yourself.

00:45:18.060 Go down to, I mean, I'm not endorsing this for the police, but go down and talk to the

00:45:23.860 people at Coots or Milk River.

00:45:25.120 Get the opinions first hand, or go watch a media outlet that puts cameras on them and

00:45:29.640 lets them speak for themselves.

00:45:31.540 Don't just inhale everything that is being pumped out by homogenous, unified media.

00:45:36.780 That's all saying the same thing at the same time in coordination, inorganically.

00:45:42.200 Yeah, it's all very boring and gray.

00:45:45.240 Speaking of lockdowns continuing, there's no greater example of this than what's about

00:45:49.980 to happen this week in court.

00:45:51.960 Our friends at Church in the Vine in Edmonton, pastors Tracy and Rodney Fortin, they are

00:45:58.820 facing, I think, collectively between Tracy and the church, six counts, I think it's three

00:46:05.180 and three maybe, of obstruction of a public health officer.

00:46:09.380 However, they face up to a half a million dollars in fines.

00:46:14.900 And their crime, their crime is not, now they've never had an outbreak in the church, so they

00:46:21.160 were no danger to public health.

00:46:22.880 Time has shown that to be true.

00:46:25.180 Their crime was not allowing a public health officer into the church, or a public health

00:46:31.100 inspector, I should say, into the church during services to inspect for COVID compliance.

00:46:38.220 So they said, come before, come after, but you're not coming to interrupt the sanctity

00:46:42.340 of our worship services.

00:46:45.020 They are facing in excess of a million.

00:46:49.780 But, you know, it could be around half a million dollars in fines for Tracy, but also for the

00:46:55.440 church.

00:46:56.340 And so for people who say, oh, we're free, the lockdowns are over.

00:47:00.040 No.

00:47:02.560 Five million people can't fly.

00:47:04.860 Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs because of vaccine mandates.

00:47:07.740 And this church, who did nothing wrong except protect, see, they're not against, they just

00:47:13.940 said, don't come during services.

00:47:17.020 They didn't obsessively police their congregation for compliance.

00:47:22.060 They said, these are the rules.

00:47:23.860 They're here.

00:47:26.020 Follow them if you were gonna.

00:47:28.260 But they didn't obsessively police the church.

00:47:31.400 And they said, you can't come and barge in when we're worshiping.

00:47:35.120 For that, they're on trial three days this week.

00:47:37.560 And I'll be covering that like it's the OJ trial.

00:47:40.100 But it's, and Jason Kenney could put a stop to this tomorrow.

00:47:44.320 But he's not.

00:47:45.240 He's wasting taxpayer resources on this through prosecution.

00:47:50.120 And he's doing his best to wring those fines out of this nice, friendly church.

00:47:56.460 The nicest people.

00:47:57.460 They had me in their home.

00:47:58.320 They're so nice.

00:47:58.880 It's, it's just terrible that they have to deal with this.

00:48:01.700 You know, the lawlessness here, and correct me if I'm wrong, but in my opinion, the second

00:48:07.780 they, that the court affirms these charges, they need to go arrest the health inspector

00:48:13.220 because it's section 1762 violation of the criminal code of Canada.

00:48:17.280 And if they say that they're guilty of preventing them from accessing church during worship, that's

00:48:23.560 legal confirmation that they broke, that the health inspector broke the law, the criminal

00:48:27.920 code of Canada.

00:48:28.760 It's ridiculous.

00:48:29.940 And it's so sickening to see that time and time again, without fail, if anyone out there

00:48:37.260 thinks that the government in this country, whether it be provincial or federal, is not

00:48:42.860 discriminatory towards Christians, you are absolutely in a cult of denial because we, we literally

00:48:50.560 went out to other denominations and they had massive gatherings that far surpassed what

00:48:55.640 we saw in Pastor Arthur Pawlowski's church.

00:48:58.080 Let's say no enforcement whatsoever.

00:48:59.740 I literally saw cops parked in the parking lot of one of the churches.

00:49:03.420 It wasn't actually a Christian church, but one of the places of worship, um, while there

00:49:08.100 were hundreds of people inside, a couple blocks away, five minute drive from Pastor Arthur

00:49:13.460 Pawlowski's church where 50 people may be gathered, no enforcement whatsoever.

00:49:18.060 It's just all the way across Canada, time after time, the unifying factor for this targeted

00:49:24.200 discrimination is they are attacking Christians.

00:49:26.780 That is what this is about.

00:49:28.340 And it's no longer deniable.

00:49:30.200 It's no longer maybe it's no longer while they were just enforcing health measures.

00:49:34.160 These people knowingly and actively went out and targeted a religious community in this

00:49:39.320 country.

00:49:39.660 And it's insane.

00:49:41.340 It is absolutely sickening that this is what this country has come to.

00:49:44.680 And it's entirely unforgivable.

00:49:46.420 It absolutely must stop.

00:49:48.200 And it needs to start with one of these cases.

00:49:51.140 One of these politicians need to, needs to have the cojones to step up.

00:49:55.320 And I'm still hoping it might be Jason Kenney.

00:49:57.060 I doubt it, but to say enough is enough.

00:49:58.980 This is ridiculous.

00:49:59.720 Take to the microphone and say, 15 religious organizations were arrested or charged or

00:50:07.000 targeted.

00:50:07.740 15 were Christian.

00:50:09.160 We know for a fact, other groups are doing this.

00:50:11.140 The government has engaged in discrimination.

00:50:13.460 All charges are being dropped.

00:50:14.960 That's the only way that there can be a recovery from this.

00:50:17.660 And it's the only way for the sake of those people's souls that they can do what is right,

00:50:22.260 because this is targeted persecution on a level that hasn't been seen since the internment

00:50:27.560 of the Japanese, honestly, during the World War.

00:50:31.240 I can't think of a time in history where a group of people is so overtly targeted and

00:50:35.300 imprisoned in Canada.

00:50:38.600 I think there's a particularly strong vindictiveness against Church and the Vine, because Church

00:50:44.260 and the Vine then went systematically about writing religious exemptions.

00:50:48.840 Now, they interviewed the people they were writing religious exemptions for so that they

00:50:53.740 continue to attend their job or pursue their higher education.

00:50:59.540 They did that because they thought that nobody should be, at the end of the day, for some of

00:51:05.540 these people, persecuted for their faith.

00:51:07.960 And when you have to choose between your job or your faith, that's a level of persecution.

00:51:12.300 And so I think because of that, they are an additional target by the government, because

00:51:19.360 really, what's the crime here?

00:51:21.520 What did Tracy do?

00:51:23.300 What did this church do that will constitute a half a million dollars in fines?

00:51:27.800 And they really don't argue that they didn't stop the inspectors.

00:51:32.040 They just said, we stopped the inspectors to prevent a wide-scale charter breach of everybody

00:51:39.960 in attendance at the church.

00:51:41.200 So how could we not do that?

00:51:45.280 And I think...

00:51:45.980 They're going to be...

00:51:46.920 This is a half a million dollars for inconveniencing an inspector.

00:51:50.600 Yeah.

00:51:50.960 That's what it is.

00:51:51.700 And inconveniencing an inspector who was about attempting to commit a crime.

00:51:57.340 Like, literally interrupting worship in progress as a criminal code of defense, punishable

00:52:01.800 by fines, and I think imprisonment as well, actually.

00:52:04.640 So they stopped someone from breaking the law, and now they're facing these fines.

00:52:08.660 And the entire basis of the judicial process is to prove that they indeed did stop someone

00:52:13.440 from breaking the law.

00:52:15.680 It's even hard to fathom that we've come to this so quickly.

00:52:21.280 And it speaks to a general anti-Christian sentiment within the country.

00:52:26.860 It's manifest.

00:52:27.720 We've seen so many things become worse and manifest.

00:52:30.840 But looking even at this past weekend, a number of people I know mentioned to me that they're

00:52:35.600 watching news outlets, and they heard things like very blessed Passover, blessed Ramadan,

00:52:42.140 and everyone enjoyed the Easter bunny.

00:52:43.560 Yeah.

00:52:46.160 Hoppy Easter.

00:52:46.680 No, it's blessed.

00:52:47.440 Blessed.

00:52:48.020 Yeah.

00:52:48.240 Hoppy Easter.

00:52:49.580 I mean, this is a rant as old as time, but how long ago was it that people...

00:52:53.340 It's been risen.

00:52:54.360 Yeah.

00:52:54.720 How long ago was it that we were arguing and talking about, well, it's fine to say Merry

00:53:01.420 Christmas.

00:53:01.920 Everyone was like, oh, well, you're getting all wound up about nothing.

00:53:05.840 And Easter, oh, it's just about the Easter bunny.

00:53:08.560 We talked about appropriation.

00:53:10.420 Well, society has appropriated and misappropriated all Christian religious holidays.

00:53:16.300 And it's manifested that anti-Christian sentiment or the reappropriation or the belittling of

00:53:22.000 Christianity that no one dares do.

00:53:24.060 I saw people on Twitter who are relative moderates making zombie Jesus jokes.

00:53:28.900 I'm looking forward to their Ramadan and Passover jokes.

00:53:33.000 Oh, no, those aren't going to come whatsoever.

00:53:34.680 Because there's an underlying sentiment that's been permitted in this country that you have

00:53:39.180 to be respectful of all religions, but you can bash Christians nonstop and you have to

00:53:42.580 show no reverence for them in any way, shape, or form whatsoever because they are simply

00:53:46.900 fair game.

00:53:47.440 It's nothing new in history.

00:53:48.620 It's been happening for 2,000 years.

00:53:50.640 We were told that it would happen in the scriptures as well.

00:53:52.840 But it is manifest so troublingly in these arrests, in this ongoing persecution that we're

00:53:58.920 seeing presently.

00:54:00.220 And the mandates certainly aren't over.

00:54:01.800 Pastor Artur Pawlowski, again, happy to be home, happy to be with his family, but under

00:54:07.100 extremely strict house arrest, conditions that serious criminal offenders don't get.

00:54:12.360 Church in the Vine being targeted simply for standing by their face, standing by their

00:54:17.200 principles, when other denominations were not.

00:54:19.800 They were just left alone.

00:54:21.780 And it's troubling.

00:54:23.020 Sheila, a question for you, if you don't mind.

00:54:25.040 Where do you see this going?

00:54:26.660 What's the end result of this trajectory we're on?

00:54:29.060 And how did it get so bad?

00:54:33.320 Well, you sort of alluded to it.

00:54:35.440 I think this has always been, you know, we've gone from tossing Christians in with the lions

00:54:42.600 to burning them at the stake to any number of things, chasing them into the caves.

00:54:48.080 You know, Father Max Kolbe, you know, he ended up in a concentration camp, traded his life for

00:54:57.700 another prisoner.

00:54:58.960 This is just, as you say, what we were promised.

00:55:01.920 Like, it wasn't like, oh, this could happen to you.

00:55:04.880 This is what we were promised.

00:55:06.580 But as Christians, we know that in the end, God always wins.

00:55:12.580 And so the trials and tribulations of Christians, that's part of the deal.

00:55:17.440 That's the thing that we sign up to do.

00:55:20.620 And as Catholics, we know that there's benefit in suffering.

00:55:24.640 I just finished Lent.

00:55:26.420 I didn't eat meat the whole time.

00:55:28.520 And so we know that our suffering is supposed to bring us closer to Christ.

00:55:34.080 And it's a powerful thing.

00:55:37.140 And it's an important thing in growing our faith.

00:55:39.820 And so, yeah, it's not good.

00:55:42.880 But it is, you know, it was the thing that we signed up to do.

00:55:47.520 But in the end, God always wins.

00:55:50.400 Yeah.

00:55:50.740 And that's the thing.

00:55:51.400 When you push Christians underground into caves, a couple days later, the rock rolls away.

00:55:55.580 So we'll be back.

00:55:57.100 And, yeah, and, you know, part of the – it's frustrating for non-Christians because we're supposed to turn the other cheek, right?

00:56:08.520 And so often we do.

00:56:09.720 We are the low-hanging fruit.

00:56:12.720 You know, you can make fun of Jesus and we're like, ah, you know what?

00:56:18.040 I'm probably going to pray for that guy.

00:56:19.740 Might have a bake sale if we get really radical.

00:56:22.120 But we're not, you know, like we're not going to react violently.

00:56:27.400 Very rarely we react violently to criticisms of our faith.

00:56:32.460 It's annoying.

00:56:33.540 We don't like it.

00:56:34.880 We're probably going to whip out some apologetics on you.

00:56:39.800 But, like, that's the worst we get up to.

00:56:42.820 And it's hardwired into the faith that we turn the other cheek and we love our enemy.

00:56:49.980 And so for our enemies, it gives them license to continue to stomp all over us.

00:56:55.880 But as I said, God always wins.

00:56:59.260 Yeah.

00:57:00.540 That he does.

00:57:02.040 Yes.

00:57:02.580 Okay.

00:57:02.780 We should get to some of these chats because we have three minutes left in the show.

00:57:05.700 And I still and I didn't even get to the thing that I wanted to talk about from Black Locks, where the climate lockdowns are obviously coming because I see the federal government is like, oh, we locked them down for two years and emissions dropped.

00:57:20.600 So we dealt with this emergency with a lockdown and emissions dropped.

00:57:25.820 So guess what we're going to do?

00:57:28.060 We're going to deal with the climate emergency that way, too, because that's the one where we really want the emissions to drop.

00:57:33.240 And so we'll just we did this thing of controlling and we got this result.

00:57:37.680 We did it under the guise of a virus.

00:57:39.520 But let's do it for this other thing.

00:57:41.980 And, yeah, it's not good.

00:57:43.860 You and I, you and I, eight months ago, nine months ago, whatever, said that they're as soon as these lockdowns are over, we said this was going to happen.

00:57:52.620 And I'm very much looking forward to in five years or so, Kian throwing together a highlight reel of the 582 times that we said what was going to happen a year before it happened.

00:58:04.100 Then it happened every single time.

00:58:05.920 He's going to make us look outright prophetic because this stuff is so self-evident and so glaring.

00:58:12.580 And until Justin Trudeau and his buddy, his queen, so to speak, Jagmeet Singh and their reign of terror are over.

00:58:19.380 This is going to continue.

00:58:20.320 So, yeah, as my as my friend Kathy Shadle used to always say, we don't have a crystal ball.

00:58:27.300 We have crystal brains.

00:58:28.600 And these people are highly predictable, highly predictable.

00:58:31.660 You don't have to be all that smart to see this stuff coming down the pipe at you.

00:58:35.820 OK, let's get to some of these chats because we're well over.

00:58:38.320 We've got five bucks from Fraser.

00:58:41.300 That's Fraser McBurney, a Hamilton fight the fines recidivist.

00:58:44.180 Don't forget the Canadian Bill of Rights, 1960.

00:58:47.320 John Diefenbaker, the Canadian Bill of Rights was the country's first federal law to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms.

00:58:53.680 The Bill of Rights was passed in the House of Commons in 1960.

00:58:56.160 That is true.

00:58:56.700 And it also gave our Indigenous peoples the franchise.

00:59:03.480 A Western-based conservative prime minister led the charge for full rights for Canada's Indigenous people.

00:59:13.600 So I don't know where these liberals get off thinking that they are the white saviors of Canada's Indigenous people.

00:59:19.160 They're the ones behind the residential schools.

00:59:23.240 The last residential school was administered under the Liberal government by Jean Chrétien, who was Indian affairs minister at the time.

00:59:32.940 And he's still alive.

00:59:34.340 So why aren't people bashing down his door?

00:59:37.740 Don't do that quite seriously.

00:59:39.900 But why aren't they accosting him and sticking a microphone in his face saying,

00:59:44.920 Hey, what do you have to say about this?

00:59:46.880 No, it's the church.

00:59:48.600 It's conservatives.

00:59:50.400 It's whatever.

00:59:51.620 But the guy behind the last residential school, he's still alive.

00:59:55.460 Go ask him some questions.

00:59:57.540 Or the son of the guy who ran them extensively and still can't provide clean drinking water,

01:00:03.440 despite literally using them as tokens to campaign repeatedly all the time, but then does nothing for them.

01:00:09.940 Anyways, that's why I think the Liberals should be very scared about what happened in Edmonton with Chief Billy Morin.

01:00:16.120 Very, very, very worried.

01:00:17.880 Very worried.

01:00:18.740 He's very popular.

01:00:20.180 Very charismatic.

01:00:21.700 And he looks at Edmonton.

01:00:23.120 I love Chief Billy because he looks at Edmonton and he's like, oh, what's their property tax rate at?

01:00:27.760 What's their business tax rate at?

01:00:29.820 Oh, Enoch, which butts up against the city.

01:00:32.560 We're going to be just a little bit lower.

01:00:33.780 And so he's snagging all these businesses to his industrial park.

01:00:39.760 And I think it's just brilliant.

01:00:41.520 Do what they're doing better.

01:00:43.440 Yeah.

01:00:43.980 Unlike all these sort of white savior academics and Twitter pundits and politicians who've probably never been out to talk to these people on their reserve,

01:00:54.320 the sentiment generally is very anti-government.

01:00:58.200 They don't trust the government and they want less government.

01:01:01.180 And they're overtly critical of Justin Trudeau.

01:01:03.680 They literally, the Trudeau government parades out the same two or three people in very racist fashion as their sort of indigenous tokens.

01:01:10.580 And there's no way representative of the indigenous bulk of the population who, unlike these Antifa people who call me racist or whatever,

01:01:18.740 I've actually been out there and talked to them and visited them.

01:01:20.900 And we did the church replacement thing.

01:01:22.500 So I've actually talked to these people and they're not happy with this government.

01:01:27.320 Yeah.

01:01:28.280 I mean, I'm pretty sure residential schools, you know, was a lot motivated by the government knowing what you should do within your own family and then taking control of that.

01:01:40.580 Um, you know, it's, it's hard to say on one hand that you're against the mentality that led to a residential school,

01:01:46.760 but then you're pro the government telling you, um, what values you can teach your kids and whether or not you can see your grandparents and what church you should go to and how you should believe.

01:01:58.140 I'm pretty sure those are probably like the same problem, you know, but whatever.

01:02:03.920 Um, boozy 69, uh, gives us five bucks.

01:02:07.920 Rebel news, your coverage of the freedom convoy has been tremendous.

01:02:11.440 Thank you.

01:02:12.200 Um, my daughter was, uh, in Florida over the weekend and she met some dads that were there.

01:02:20.260 Um, uh, she's at a sporting event and she met some dads there who had seen our coverage and, and she didn't like say like, Oh my, like that's my mom.

01:02:29.160 Um, but, um, they were, she, I don't know, maybe I wouldn't say she's like embarrassed, but she's the teenager, right?

01:02:36.020 She doesn't want to care about what I do for a living or whatever.

01:02:39.900 But they were like, she was talking to some dads who were there and they were talking about like rebel news coverage from the freedom convoy from Ottawa and from coots.

01:02:50.020 Um, that was in Florida.

01:02:51.880 It was in Tampa.

01:02:52.840 So yeah.

01:02:53.780 Good job.

01:02:54.500 John Brown from Fox said he was, he was in a bar and I think Washington or Seattle or something with the same Archer shirt that I took the picture for.

01:03:01.760 And people came up and started talking about Archer and rebel news and yeah, everything right away.

01:03:06.300 They didn't know who he was, but right away they knew the story and started talking about it.

01:03:10.140 So yeah.

01:03:10.640 Yeah.

01:03:11.040 It's international.

01:03:12.600 Someone's got to do the media.

01:03:14.500 Yeah.

01:03:15.020 Well, and the Trudeau government says we're not real journalists, but could you tell me one story that CBC would have covered that they would know about in Florida that some dads in Florida would be talking about?

01:03:26.300 Yeah.

01:03:27.040 Sure.

01:03:27.440 We must do a lot of content because if only 1% of what we know, what we do is news, that's, there's a lot of, it must be really good because we're really, we're, we have a big viewership internationally and everyone seems to know our coverage on this.

01:03:41.080 So it must be a really good 1% or maybe, maybe they're wrong with their numbers.

01:03:44.880 Maybe.

01:03:46.740 Uh, J P H 1944 gives us a buck.

01:03:51.500 Where are your store items made?

01:03:54.020 China, Bangladesh, or Canada?

01:03:56.040 You know what?

01:03:56.340 I wish I knew that.

01:03:57.440 Adam, are you, do you have one of our shirts around there?

01:03:59.800 I wish I knew.

01:04:00.700 I don't know.

01:04:01.880 Yeah, I'll be back.

01:04:02.580 Generally, we try our best to source in Canada.

01:04:04.040 I am sure Adam's got a shirt there.

01:04:05.360 He's going to check for you.

01:04:07.580 Keep going.

01:04:08.340 Fraser, McBernie gives us five bucks.

01:04:10.800 Sunday, we held our small protest against the emergency mandates.

01:04:14.240 Bill 100 forbids protest.

01:04:17.020 So we're going to hold an education rally.

01:04:19.000 It's not a protest.

01:04:20.080 We should become a little bit more engaged on Bill 100 in Ontario, by the way.

01:04:26.680 And Fraser gives us another five bucks and says, when I'm out shopping, this is the crazy thing I do.

01:04:32.860 I'm a chatty person.

01:04:33.840 So when I chat with a mom or grandmother, I buy a small bouquet of yellow roses.

01:04:37.520 And when we exit the store, I give them to her and say, the yellow rose of Texas.

01:04:41.400 We laugh and it brightens the day.

01:04:43.780 Oh, that's very nice, Fraser.

01:04:44.940 That's very kind.

01:04:45.960 Did you find your shirt?

01:04:47.560 I'm back.

01:04:48.260 So it's from the company Gildan.

01:04:50.500 Most of the shirts we use, which are non-sweatshop.

01:04:52.900 So that's definitely something that's addressed from that company.

01:04:56.280 They're actually different depending where they bring them in.

01:04:58.540 But I know some of them are imported from Mexico.

01:05:01.460 But I think there's different locations.

01:05:03.060 But I know Gildan is one of those companies that has a strong anti-sweat shop policy.

01:05:08.440 And then as far as where they're pressed, I don't know that off the top of my head.

01:05:11.280 But yeah.

01:05:12.640 We do actively try to source things closer to home if we can.

01:05:18.560 For sure.

01:05:18.800 And it's a tough balance because of supply chain issues and things like that.

01:05:23.480 But we do.

01:05:25.040 And Gildan is obviously not sweatshop.

01:05:28.120 So that's important to us.

01:05:29.260 We don't want to participate in human slavery.

01:05:32.020 For people out there, the other thing with our shirts, I'm a total snob for shirts.

01:05:35.100 I'm really picky with shirts.

01:05:36.660 They are a good quality material.

01:05:39.120 They're a nice cut.

01:05:40.260 The female cuts, women's cuts are good as well.

01:05:43.300 But actually, if you're worried about quality, they are sort of the better spun quality shirts.

01:05:48.380 And they do last.

01:05:49.340 And the iron on, I wash them inside out.

01:05:51.900 It stays on really well.

01:05:54.060 But yeah, I'm a total picky with shirts.

01:05:56.040 I don't take care of them at all.

01:05:56.660 I don't take care of them at all.

01:05:58.040 If I can't throw it in with my coveralls, then I'm probably not going to buy it.

01:06:02.520 And everything washes up fine.

01:06:04.900 I never flip my shirts inside out.

01:06:07.060 And the logo stays on.

01:06:09.900 It's not peeling.

01:06:10.600 It's fine.

01:06:11.640 Fine.

01:06:12.040 And they keep their shape.

01:06:14.040 Yeah.

01:06:14.900 Yeah, they're good.

01:06:16.820 Revelnewsstore.com.

01:06:17.540 Yeah, revelnewsstore.com.

01:06:19.880 And it's buy one, get one 25% off.

01:06:22.360 That's the entire store, by the way.

01:06:25.040 So get something for yourself, but also get something for mom or grandma or mom and baby or mom and little ones, whatever.

01:06:32.500 It's a great way to support the work that we do.

01:06:36.540 So, you know, like, thank us for advocating for your mom.

01:06:41.780 Why don't you do that?

01:06:42.800 Thank the moms at the company, like me, buying a shirt, and you get a little something for yourself.

01:06:49.000 So I think that's great.

01:06:50.120 And again, the coupon code is mom25.

01:06:51.900 And I think we're all caught up, Adam, I think.

01:06:57.580 Yeah, that's everything.

01:06:59.460 I am back in the chair tomorrow.

01:07:02.100 Maybe not, though, because I might be in court with Church in the Vine.

01:07:05.600 But I think it's David and me or David or somebody else tomorrow.

01:07:10.420 Adam, thanks so much for being my co-pilot on the show today.

01:07:14.080 I appreciate that.

01:07:15.120 Happy to be here.

01:07:15.840 Thank you.

01:07:17.020 And thank you to everybody who tuned in today.

01:07:20.040 Thank you to everybody in the office in Toronto, including the people that you don't often see or hear us thanking, like the web team.

01:07:27.700 They make sure that you have all the relevant links to be able to watch the things that we do.

01:07:32.700 So thank you to them.

01:07:33.820 And thank you to everybody who pitched in to keep the lights on.

01:07:36.640 We couldn't do any of this without you.

01:07:38.300 We know that you work hard for your money, and you make the choice to support us, and we appreciate that.

01:07:44.900 We realize you have a lot of choices out there and inflationary pressures, as it were.

01:07:49.480 So thank you for that.

01:07:50.940 We'll see everybody back here.

01:07:53.000 So you'll see one of us, somebody.

01:07:55.120 We'll be here tomorrow.

01:07:56.160 It just might not be me.

01:07:57.800 And as David Menzies always says, stay sane.

01:08:01.380 I just want to say that I have had my three shots, and I'm a big supporter of vaccines.

01:08:05.780 I got the vaccine as soon as I could.

01:08:07.360 But I also know people who didn't want the vaccine or that are unvaccinated.

01:08:11.160 And I think that the fact that these people are banned from flying inside Canada when, you know, with the different variants,

01:08:18.540 it has shown that the vaccine works more to reduce the severity of the illness rather than transmission.

01:08:24.620 I don't think that's something that is very fair.

01:08:27.040 I think if you're going to have a mandate in place, you have to have alternatives such as testing.

01:08:31.600 And for me, it just makes me really uncomfortable to think that certain Canadians are banned from simple aspects of public life

01:08:39.040 just because they made a different medical decision.

01:08:41.620 I just want to say that I have
