00:03:48.460
you will see moving truck everywhere because everybody move on the same day wow that sounds
00:03:55.120

00:04:08.720
end up on the 30 of june or 31 of crazy um and it's how it's working for back it's why like it's
00:04:17.140
really difficult to move because all the truck is already rent and okay it costs a really high
00:04:24.140

00:04:42.580
area and want to get your tickets to trucker rebellion go to trucker documentary.com to buy
00:04:47.560

my mom oh that's cute i'm excited to see it that's awesome so should we actually insane it's really good
00:05:06.000
okay well we're looking forward yeah i mean we were all following along during the action and
00:05:10.880
obviously as everyone knows uh alexa you were in ottawa for the at the same time yeah in the ottawa
00:05:17.880
protest and i mean what would you call it protest party hangout i mean it wasn't a party for you
00:05:23.780
you got shot yeah no but it was a mix of everything i think uh at the end it was more like a
00:05:31.140
a goliop village uh like some people have put like some mailbox where they they had their trucks
00:05:38.740
just to tell like they are not going anywhere so it was kind of protest but um not a permanent
00:05:47.160
protest but a as permanent protest yeah i would say it was a statement yeah and i i truly believe
00:05:54.220
that what happened there is to is uh is why we're so we're enjoying so many freedoms now that we
00:06:01.240
weren't enjoying before and you know you can chalk it up to lots of things like people will say it's
00:06:05.780
because more people are vaccinated you know whatever you can say that it's because there's
00:06:11.100
this it's the summer now and there's less infections i would argue that last summer we
00:06:15.860
were literally in a state uh what was it it was um the stay at home orders yeah so i think i really
00:06:22.780
truly do uh thank the truckers for the freedoms that we're enjoying now and for people like you who
00:06:27.660
were on the ground i went for one weekend and was out there for like maybe four hours and was like
00:06:32.160
i'm good that's good so cold you are hardcore girl you're so hardcore you are hardcore respect
00:06:38.360
so should we talk about should we get into maybe some of our items yes i'm delaying because um we
00:06:45.400
can't see the screen we cannot see the screen alexa yeah but but alexa can see it but we can wing it
00:06:51.020
we can listen we can listen we're professionals i see you girl me so that's perfect perfect
00:06:56.300
let's play the first clip then all right great so um this is about youtube pushing back against bill
00:07:03.340
c11 which as you know alexa you'll know and our viewers will probably know is this internet
00:07:08.520
censorship bill that is going to harm uh content creators like ourselves yes let's let's start to
00:07:14.480
that clip now hey everyone it's brandon from the brandon gona show and i'm working with youtube to
00:07:22.660
share an update on some new legislation in the works in canada it's called the online streaming
00:07:27.640
act or bill c11 here are the impacts that c11 could have on creators and users in canada it can
00:07:36.080
determine how content appears on youtube including the home page and watch next section plus a regulator
00:07:43.400
could force artificial promotion of some creators and content over others which could impact how content
00:07:49.900
reaches global audiences and could hurt views and revenue now if this bill passes it could have a
00:07:56.300
huge impact on recommendations on youtube which means potentially a big change for canadian viewers
00:08:01.500
and creators like you and me now to break down what this means let's bring in todd beau pray a director
00:08:07.660
of product at youtube whose team helps manage what videos come your way on your home feed todd let's talk
00:08:13.660
about recommendations as they work now on youtube what are the basics we need to know hey brandon great
00:08:19.820
to be chatting with you uh so our recommendations are a really key part of our youtube viewer experience
00:08:26.540
we've designed them to really help viewers find videos that they would enjoy watching based on what
00:08:32.140
each viewer is interested in you want to help them discover creators and channels that are going to be
00:08:38.140
really interesting to them it's kind of like uh if you go to the library and you have a librarian there
00:08:43.180
to help you find the next book that you might enjoy reading based on other books that you've read so let's
00:08:49.260
talk about how exactly this build might play out on youtube basically we know a regulator could make
00:08:55.020
youtube show a certain amount of canadian videos to canadians so does that mean you'd have to change
00:09:01.340
the recommendation system so first let me tell you a little bit about how the recommendation system works
00:09:06.860
today so we collect a lot of feedback from viewers in the form of like looking at what they watch what
00:09:13.180
they don't watch how long they watch it whether they click like or dislike really aim to recommend
00:09:19.660
the best videos to each viewer based on their personal interests and so as part of that we aim to
00:09:25.420
recommend canadian creators to both canadian viewers as well as viewers around the world who are
00:09:31.740
interested in that sort of content or content similar to it regardless of whether the video was uploaded in
00:09:39.180
canada or somewhere around the world and by doing this we're able to maximize the audience for canadian
00:09:46.060
creators okay so if canadians get artificially served up canadian content what happens to the
00:09:53.580
systems so what would happen is we'd end up uh mismatching viewers to videos that they would be most
00:10:00.300
interested in in the space of canadian content creators we would be showing their videos to people
00:10:05.660
who would be less interested than other videos and what that ends up meaning is the reaction from
00:10:11.660
those viewers is likely to be that they're less likely to click on those videos they do click on
00:10:17.260
the videos they they would be less likely to like them or maybe they would uh dislike them or watch them
00:10:23.020
a lot less and so that negative feedback that we collect yikes yeah so it's nice to see that youtube is
00:10:32.380
you know has the same um battle to fight that we do which is kind of funny because youtube
00:10:39.260
censors dissenting voices so frequently so it's interesting that this has kind of pushed them
00:10:44.140
kind of to be more on our side of things where we're like hey no censorship like you know within
00:10:49.580
the legal limit um it's very interesting alexa what do you think about this
00:10:53.100
that they are censoring when it's uh about covet stuff but when it comes to really censor creator
00:11:03.900
and other production that is not related with the narrative oh we have a problem there yeah
00:11:09.580
oh we will speak out for that uh what about like the censorship that happened since the the beginning of
00:11:15.980
the pandemic where you censor where you shutter ban where you change like um everything for like
00:11:22.940
not showing uh the video that is related with another narrative or that that's that's okay
00:11:29.580
but i find that a little bit an hypocrisy um in facing like youtube talking like now we we will
00:11:37.420
raise against like bill c11 because it's what we should do because we want to protect like themselves
00:11:44.700
creator and projector and and themselves because that will hurt mostly them yeah but when it come with
00:11:51.420
other projector that wanted to show and shed the light on other misinformation different information
00:11:57.820
that have been spread by mainstream media and legacy media oh no that's not good do you guys think that
00:12:04.860
now that youtube is like speaking out about this that maybe the government will hear our cries and
00:12:10.860
it'll be enough pushback to maybe stop the bill or change things because it's a pretty sinister bill like
00:12:16.780
it'll literally impact every single content creator in canada like that's huge well i think it goes
00:12:23.420
directly to their pocketbooks like this is a business so at the end of the day youtube is probably has
00:12:28.460
some panel that has told them we're gonna lose money because like the guy in the video said like
00:12:32.700
people aren't going to be watching and liking videos as much because they're not going to be
00:12:35.580
interested in the content it's going to be pushed on to them so right at the end of the day youtube's
00:12:40.380
like this is going to affect our revenue and i mean i'm not really answering your question directly but
00:12:45.740
maybe because their pocketbooks are on the line maybe they will make such a stink that maybe it
00:12:50.620
will actually follow the money yeah exactly but it's it's like you said alexa it's like they don't
00:12:55.820
care when it's just a fringe minority of people who um want to know the truth about certain medical
00:13:05.100
interventions they don't care but when it when it's like oh actually every single uh user on youtube will
00:13:13.980
be given i mean canadian user on youtube will be given content that they're not really interested
00:13:18.860
in and promoted things that they're like okay cool i guess like it's gonna hurt them financially so yes
00:13:27.340
yeah alexa do you think that there will be positive change from this
00:13:31.980
but for me like you know bill c11 and other bill are it's been a while that we are talking about and
00:13:40.060
everybody is talking about now because it's getting more and more closer to be accepted and to be
00:13:45.500
approved by the parliament but why people didn't took action way before when that bill had been like
00:13:52.940
put uh straight for the first uh reading nobody like was like okay i don't see as a threat but it's always
00:14:00.460
when it's getting to be approved that everybody's like oh my god what we are doing and now we we see big
00:14:07.260
tech uh talking out about it okay why you didn't uh raise your voice when the bill c11 have been
00:14:18.540
like put in place and say like good point i think it's like hindsight is 2020 almost in a way because
00:14:24.140
it's now affecting them you know but it was always going to yeah it's her point like yeah that's a good
00:14:29.180
point like why didn't they see two years ago when we started talking about this or was it two years
00:14:34.140
i don't know i think it was around that yeah um that this would be a problem for them and now
00:14:38.060
it's like maybe it's too late yeah yeah it's scary i mean we are still kind of pushing back here at
00:14:44.060
rebel news we do have a petition that you all can sign at stop the censorship.ca and i think we have
00:14:48.700
another clip that maybe we could play that kind of uh piggybacks on this from our new ottawa reporter
00:14:53.980
william um producer are we able to play that clip in five seconds actually good good clip actually yeah
00:15:01.580
it's a really good yeah it's fun william is our new uh ottawa correspondent which is funny because
00:15:07.180
we don't have we didn't have anyone in ottawa as of now alexa was traveling to ottawa to cover a lot
00:15:11.980
of that yeah um but it's good to have some boots on the ground there um and i think you know you'll see
00:15:17.340
for yourself but he is shaking he's like ruffling feathers yeah on the streets of ottawa because the
00:15:22.220
mps are just walking around and they haven't been challenged by anyone because it's all just like
00:15:26.140
cbc journalists leaving them to have their fancy lunches and all of a sudden there he goes yeah
00:15:30.300
exactly you have a rebel news reporter putting a mic in their face and they're like who are you
00:15:34.460
what are you doing yeah it's funny sir sir what do you feel uh of being the same party as someone
00:15:42.940
that said you to one of his constituents will he be fired by justin trudeau
00:15:49.900

00:16:40.940
why are you coming to me i'm asking you how can bill c11 help freedom of speech
00:16:50.620

00:17:21.580
at least you wished him what do you think of bill c11 the bill that's about to probably pass
00:17:26.380
well i'm hoping it doesn't pass there are a number of problems with it especially around potential
00:17:31.900
censorship issues and uh providing the government what do you think about justin trudeau says that
00:17:36.460
it's going to promote free speech i don't believe that at all yeah thank you you see it's only
00:17:43.740
what do you think of bill c11 oh it's uh it's terrible it's uh it's freedom of speech it's a
00:17:49.580
censorship bill by the government uh it should be supported so how do you feel about the fact that
00:17:54.140
you're in the same party as someone that said shoots one of his constituents well i think he
00:17:59.020
apologized for that yeah but he still did what do you think of bill c11 oh it's okay how will it
00:18:07.180
promote canadian content from free speech it's censored thank you it will give the government the
00:18:12.060
power to censor speech who are you with i'm with rebel news my name is william diaz read the bill yeah i read
00:18:19.740
it i'm asking you a question how how would it promote no i'm the journalist i'm asking you a
00:18:26.220
question how would it promote free speech how on earth can it promote free speech i'm asking a
00:18:32.300
question too sir you're a minister all the questions you didn't answer anything about my question
00:18:37.820
how would it promote free speech you didn't answer anything how would it promote free speech
00:18:42.060
How would it promote free speech? Sir, the Canadian people elected you. Can you give
00:18:50.020
them an answer? How would it promote free speech? Would you be gracious enough to give
00:18:56.660
me an answer, sir? Or are you just going to ignore the country?
00:19:00.860
I'm asking you a question. How would it promote free speech? It's a super quick question,
00:19:06.080
sir. All right. Thank you for not answering. Have
00:19:11.080
a good day. How can Bill C11 help freedom of speech?
00:19:14.680
Oh, well, the full video is going to be coming out later today. But the journalist there is
00:19:18.940
William. He's young and he's doing an amazing job. He was so he was persistent, very persistent,
00:19:25.840
but polite. Imagine if David Menzies did that. He'd probably get arrested. David Menzies would
00:19:30.580
have been arrested on site. Yeah. Just for being there. Probably I would have been like paper
00:19:36.060
spray or something. Yes. And Alexa would have been assaulted. Yeah, you would have been assaulted.
00:19:39.660
A hundred percent. Well, glad you two were not there. And you would have gone in for more, Alexa.
00:19:42.220
Yeah. Yeah. I just feel like they're... No, sorry. Go ahead. I just tried to be like really
00:19:48.620
far away from a politician, parliament, and police for now. Yeah, that's fair. They have your
00:19:55.980
number. They know you. Yeah. No, that's fair. Honestly, though, it's not surprising to me that
00:20:01.340
these people don't want to answer our questions. Like everyone always is like shock, outrage. And
00:20:05.420
it's like, well, they've shown us exactly who they are. They're hypocrites. They obviously aren't
00:20:10.300
working for us like the people. It's just it's not surprising. And it's maybe almost sad that I'm
00:20:16.380
not surprised that they're not answering his questions. I find them to be so pompous in the
00:20:21.320
way that they... First of all, they're like, who are you with? Because it's like, well, if you're with
00:20:25.360
one of our friend media agencies, we're going to probably file a complaint against you. And maybe
00:20:30.880
they would answer, but probably not. But they would definitely file a complaint, in my opinion.
00:20:34.240
And then when they find out it's rebel, they're just like, have a good day. And then they walk
00:20:37.760
away like they're ignoring a homeless person on the street. Like these people have no compassion
00:20:41.280
whatsoever. They're... They just... And just the elitism and the pompousness, just like,
00:20:46.960
you guys are elected bureaucrats. You're not supposed... Like, what is that... What's his name? The
00:20:52.560
the gentleman with the gray hair and the... Pablo? Pablo. He looks like he's on vacation
00:20:56.560
in France. Like, why are you... Too cool for school. He's way too cool. Like, you're supposed
00:21:00.480
to be a public servant, my friend. Like, serve the public instead of walking around with your
00:21:04.000
young assistant and your Starbucks cups. Like, it just... I want to go on vacation in France,
00:21:10.560
is my point. Yeah, I think they've just forgotten that like our taxpayers fund their wages.
00:21:15.760
Like, they've just forgotten that. Sorry, what were you going to say, Alexa?
00:21:18.800
Just for the viewer that doesn't know what William was talking about. So,
00:21:25.840
one of the constituents of the Liberals are saying a private message,
00:21:34.720
To answer to a message about... It was someone who say that she wasn't able to see a dying
00:21:43.760
parents because she was not allowed to travel. And he answered with that answer. And I found that
00:21:51.920
really outrageous. And as you see, like, Liberals would say, well, but he apologized. What? If it was
00:21:58.320
someone else from another business, probably we'd be fired at that time for having, saying that to
00:22:05.280
someone. And especially, like, it's paid probably by that same person with her tax and get that answer
00:22:14.400
from this person. It's probably, like, one of the most outrageous thing. Like, the same as when we see,
00:22:23.440
like, the police hurting people, paying by the same people that they are hurting.
00:22:29.920
Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. She's reaching out to her local politician to express her concern. Exactly.
00:22:36.880
Yeah. A legitimate concern like that would be... My parents aren't so old that they're in retirement
00:22:41.840
homes. Thank God. But if they had been during lockdown and I'm unvaccinated, I wouldn't have
00:22:46.880
been able to see them. That would have been a huge moral dilemma for myself. And it ultimately
00:22:51.200
is at the hands of them saying, I can't see my family. It's disgusting.
00:22:55.200
It is. And I think our reporter, Lincoln Jay, has an interview coming out today with
00:23:02.560
this woman. So definitely go to rebelnews.com and check that out later. Yeah. So lots of fun
00:23:09.120
hypocrisy happening within our government. Should we talk about something else? So we have an article
00:23:15.840
from CBC about the House of Commons lifting vaccine mandates. Oh, wow. It's not new news.
00:23:21.120
Another hypocrisy. Because I don't know if you know, but in Quebec, the National Assembly,
00:23:28.480
they, what I heard so far, I'm not sure it's like 100% sure, but like all the MP was not obligated to
00:23:37.760
be back for them. Oh, nice. Yeah. Well, that's all the people was working there. That wasn't obligating,
00:23:45.600
mandate. But for the other, what's fine? Rules for thee, not for me. Exactly. Exactly.
00:23:52.400
So according to this CBC article, government House leader Mark Holland put forward a motion
00:23:56.640
Thursday afternoon to end the mandate, which has been in place since last fall after House
00:24:00.480
leaders from all parties met earlier this week. Yeah, it's I mean, why now? I don't like why?
00:24:08.800
And then I guess they still have to wear masks until June 23rd, because I guess after June 23rd,
00:24:13.920
the science changes. It's just insane. They have to trickle it down. So they don't. So it doesn't
00:24:19.520
look so stupid. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. It's just crazy. Like, like, just give people the
00:24:26.240
choice to wear a mask or not. Like, let's like the mandates for masks have dropped literally everywhere
00:24:31.440
else. Like, why? What's the difference here? I just don't I just don't get it.
00:24:35.280
But I think it's I think it's because the House of Commons, you have more risk to get something
00:24:42.720
there. Oh, because, you know, it's all politician there. Yeah. And they're traveling. Yeah. They have
00:24:48.080
special air purifiers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're all over the place. That's funny what they're doing
00:24:52.480
with who. Yeah. It's just funny that this is all trickling down now after, you know, sane people have
00:25:00.240
been like, well, it's your own health that you're taking into your own hands this whole time,
00:25:07.440
one would argue. And now it's kind of like in vogue. Actually, Ezra said something months ago
00:25:12.640
in a meeting here. And he said a politician is someone who I don't know if he I don't think he
00:25:18.240
coined this, but he said a politician is someone who sees the parade walking down the street and then
00:25:21.920
runs up in front and starts waving the flag like that's kind of what's happening. And we, you know,
00:25:25.920
arguably see that with the conservatives as well. Like I personally really like Pierre Polyev and I
00:25:31.120
like what he's saying a lot, but critics of him and rightfully so are saying like, well, where were
00:25:35.920
you a year ago, two years ago when people were suffering and they're opportunists? Yeah, absolutely.
00:25:41.200
And that's a politician. That's what a politician does. I don't know. It's not I shouldn't be shocked
00:25:46.720
by it, but it's like it's disappointing that we had no one speaking for us other than like fringe
00:25:52.320
politicians like Maxime Bernier and Roman Baber. Yeah, exactly. People were speaking out, but they
00:25:57.440
were and, you know, Belinda Karajalios and Rick Nichols. Like there were people who were standing up to
00:26:02.880
these measures, these measures. Yeah. And getting kicked out of their parties for it. But now all of a
00:26:08.880
sudden, even the conservatives are like, oh, it's enough. It's enough. And it's like it was enough two
00:26:13.200
years ago. It was day one. Yeah. But in the same time, like one of the
00:26:20.720
deputy at the National Assembly here in Quebec, she decided to change party because she was speaking
00:26:28.240
out and everything. Her salary dropped of twenty thousand dollars, I think, per year. And as well,
00:26:34.720
she had like all the deputy against her. It was really hard for her. Everybody was like against what
00:26:41.120
you. She was the only one to raise her voice on hundred and I don't know, like 30 and something
00:26:46.880
like deputy. So imagine like being like everybody just turning your back on you. So I can understand
00:26:54.880
that probably Pierre Poirier at that time, maybe it was not ready. Like everybody have a time to be
00:27:00.160
ready to speak out. I don't know when exactly it raises voice. I think it was before the Freedom Convoy.
00:27:07.280
It was around the Freedom Convoy. Yeah. Yeah. You make a good point. And maybe if he,
00:27:13.520
you know, to defend him, he had he spoken up at that time, maybe he wouldn't currently be in the
00:27:19.520
top leadership position for the conservatives. Like maybe we would have someone like Erin O'Toole,
00:27:24.800
who was like playing by the rules the whole time and continues to where we have someone who played
00:27:29.280
by the rules until it was opportunistic to change. And maybe that's in our best interest,
00:27:33.440
maybe because now we have someone who is on our side, who actually has a shot at becoming the next
00:27:37.680
prime minister. I just don't think that like changing the leader is going to change the party.
00:27:41.440
I think it's a party issue. I just don't see, even if he stands by all the things he says,
00:27:46.320
I just don't see how that party is going to change because they've all failed us.
00:27:49.760
I don't know. I'm a, I'm a cynic. Yeah. I'm cynical about all politicians. Yeah,
00:27:54.640
that's fair. They're politicians. Yeah. Like to be a politician is to be someone who,
00:27:59.440
like you said, is opportunistic and wants to be like the glory, I guess. Yeah. I think,
00:28:06.080
I think, um, I forget if it was Plato or, or Socrates, but one of them, um, I think it was
00:28:11.440
Plato in the Republic. He says that people who end up being leaders of communities are the last
00:28:16.560
people who should be, because they're the ones who want the glory and the people who don't want
00:28:20.880
that glory, the people who would be better off running things. So it's like, you never get the
00:28:24.080
right person. So Alexa for prime minister, right around the ballot folks. I speak both language
00:28:33.120
at least. Yeah. And you're cute and strong and smart. And she's badass. Yeah. So I think you have
00:28:39.280
my vote anyway. I think I'm too sensitive for that. I think like, if something happened, I would be like,
00:28:46.000
just what's going on? Maybe Canada needs a little empathy. Yeah. That's awesome. Um,
00:28:53.280
so should we talk about inflation guys? It's literally killing us all. Um, so apparently,
00:29:02.160
according to the Ottawa sun, half of older Canadians are delaying retirement due to inflation. Well,
00:29:07.520
that's just sad. You work hard your whole life so you can retire. And guess what? You can't,
00:29:12.000
you just can't. Yeah. So this was, um, an Angus Reed survey was conducted and like Nat said,
00:29:17.200
have more than half of older Canadians are worried about retiring. And apparently, um,
00:29:21.440
there's a quote here that 63% of older Canadians were worried about never being able to retire.
00:29:26.480
That's a lot. I mean, maybe they're being dramatic, but my goodness. No, that's a lot. Like,
00:29:30.240
you know, when you get married and you say till death do us part, like now you're going to be saying
00:29:33.360
that to your employer because you're going to be working to the grave. Yeah. It's great. So I guess,
00:29:38.320
I guess Alexa, the three of us are never retiring, but maybe we can find a commune or something and
00:29:44.080
just camp out and farm. I'm ready to retire today. Yeah. So that's, this is harsh news for me.
00:29:51.520
It's just sad. I think it will, uh, as well change a lot of Canadians. Um, as I say, me, I'm always
00:29:59.760
being like really careful because I travel in really poor countries. So I really realized,
00:30:05.520
oh, we have the chance to have everything so close to us. Like I remember like in Africa,
00:30:13.200
I was chasing water and I was sleeping in a tent and I was washing myself like maybe one time per
00:30:19.520
three, three weeks. I was not tanned. I was third. But when you come back and you drink water from tap
00:30:27.120
water, you realize that, okay, maybe I should change my lifestyle to adapt myself to having,
00:30:34.160
you know what, the, what I need to be happy and not extra. Yeah. And I can live comfortable.
00:30:40.720
And, and it just, because the society say to you, like more your home, more you're happy and
00:30:46.480
some extra stuff that probably stay in your, um, wardrobe for like many, many years, because
00:30:52.960
you think you needed it because you saw it and it was looking pretty, but I feel attacked right now.
00:31:00.320
No, it's not true though. No, you're absolutely right. Society like keeps telling us to love
00:31:05.200
ourselves and then we'll finally be happy. Keep buying, take care of yourself, yada, yada, yada.
00:31:10.240
Yeah. Like self-care. Go on the trip. We've talked about this on our show, but like self-care
00:31:13.120
is literally like, well, you need to spend money for self-care. You need to take time off of work
00:31:17.440
for self-care. You need to go on a vacation. You need to have, like, I made an example of they sell these
00:31:20.720
like little tiny mini fridges that you're supposed to keep by your bed to keep all your night creams
00:31:24.400
in so they can keep cool. It's like, you don't need that. You don't need that. You don't need
00:31:28.720
that. We don't need half. Yeah. She needs it and we'll buy her one later. But I think like you're
00:31:32.640
so, you're so right. You hit the nail on the head. Like contentment leads to joy. Like when you're just
00:31:36.720
content with where you're at, I think that's when you'll find peace. Um, and I think that's definitely
00:31:42.240
missing in Western society. And I think that's why people are making up so many problems, you know,
00:31:46.480
like about pronouns and stuff like that. Cause they're, they're, they're continually searching
00:31:50.960
for what's going to make them feel better about themselves. And it's just very misled.
00:31:56.480
But the society told you like, oh yeah, bye, bye. And we will begin to be a society that we live
00:32:03.760
over what we are capable to do it. And now people have a lifestyle that costs really a lot. And now it's
00:32:11.840
the one that suffered the most because the one that take like, you know, uh, they have no car,
00:32:16.960
but they still use the bus, but the gas doesn't really affect them for now, uh, until the bus or
00:32:24.400
the, um, transportation rise their cost, but they will see, see it more on the food, but they will make
00:32:31.520
choice on the food. Now that's saying, instead of buying, you know, uh, some fruit that this price,
00:32:39.520
I would change my natural habit to change and try something else because it's cheaper.
00:32:45.600
And, and the, my only point in the inflation is the hiding inflation. When we see package that you
00:32:53.760
have like example, one granola bar less in the box, but I think you buy the same thing, but you have less
00:33:00.720
on grand and it's just because, um, the company doesn't want you to see that you pay more for
00:33:08.720
what you get. This is not right. Have you seen the size of granola bars these days? They're like,
00:33:13.360
they used to be, and maybe cause I had little baby hands. Like a bag of chips. They're like half
00:33:16.960
empty now. And you're like, this is like $5 for less. That's such a great point. Yeah. You know,
00:33:22.320
my dad and I were having a conversation about this. Um, and we were talking about why there was only so
00:33:26.640
few doctors speaking out on mandates and stuff, uh, stuff. Um, and he made a point that because so
00:33:35.600
many people are living paycheck to paycheck, people have so much debt and you literally can't,
00:33:40.080
you don't have the freedom to speak out. So people were like, well, why aren't, and maybe it goes for
00:33:44.480
politicians too. Like, why weren't more people feeling free to say, I, I disagree with these
00:33:49.280
mandates. It's because like, they literally have fancy cars and they have a huge house that they,
00:33:52.960
like you said, Alexa, they live outside their means and they have all this debt and
00:33:56.480
all these financial obligations and they literally cannot afford to miss even one paycheck. So it's
00:34:01.520
like zip, like debt keeps you silent because you're, and it's like, kind of like, why wouldn't banks
00:34:06.560
and big government want that? Yeah. Because then we're way more compliant when they know that we
00:34:11.200
cannot afford to speak out and lose our jobs. So I was talking with the actuary, uh, here in Quebec,
00:34:17.680
and he was explaining to me, you know, uh, we shut down the economy, we shut down the business, but
00:34:24.320
when you print money, but you have no production. So every production needs to be paid. And if you have
00:34:33.280
no production, you just get inflating. Like, so the value of everything's get higher because you keep
00:34:40.800
printing, but you have no production. So of course, same if everybody was like, okay, everything will go.
00:34:47.280
Okay. We will pay you. You stay home. It was absolutely, absolutely sure that inflation and
00:34:56.560
probably a recession would come. And especially when we, we look at, so we all say that it was,
00:35:03.840
uh, I don't know how you call it in Ontario benefit recovery or something from the government,
00:35:09.280
uh, when, uh, when you were locked down. Yeah. Yeah. So they, if I think in Quebec, they calculated
00:35:16.080
how much they give. And, um, for that, for the normal citizen, it was about four or five billion
00:35:22.160
of dollars at the end. But when we look at, uh, entrepreneur, big businesses, we talk about 90
00:35:29.040
billion of dollars. They were giving three quarter of their salary for being shut down. This is
00:35:37.440
what hurt the most, um, the country keeping like entrepreneur and big company, three quarter of them,
00:35:44.960
what they, they gain, uh, on salary, but telling them you cannot produce, you cannot do anything.
00:35:51.040
They were able to keep their business open, especially for construction field or anything,
00:35:56.000
but they shut it down for no reason. And now it's everybody in Canada that will pay. It's not them.
00:36:03.680
Their salary would not change at the parliament. Politicians will always gain the same, uh, salary.
00:36:09.600
Their salary will never be in effect, but normal citizens, uh, like medium wages are now will suffer
00:36:17.520
a lot. I'm thinking of like suicide that will probably come on this, um, big depression and mental
00:36:26.160
illness. And, uh, and we have already damaged from the lockdown on the mental illness. So imagine in
00:36:35.040
a couple of days that will as well raise like, uh, violence. People will fight for having like, uh,
00:36:42.160
what they need and money. They will probably have more robbery because people have nothing to make
00:36:48.400
survive their own family. What they, they, they, they are thinking to expect like gas is tax and
00:36:55.280
it's tax on tax. Hello. Yeah. No. And I think like, uh, our reliance on foreign gas is deaf has a lot to
00:37:03.120
do with why inflation is so high because we have the resources here. If the government in the United States
00:37:08.000
and Canada just built the pipeline and we were able to rely on our own resources, I really think
00:37:12.480
that inflation would be a little more at level, I guess, because we're relying on foreign oil and
00:37:19.040
there's only so much it's supply and demand, you know, and it's just, it's so egregious that our,
00:37:24.000
our politicians don't want to do that because they want to seem like they care about the environment
00:37:29.120
or whatever. It's just, it's insane. People are suffering. And you know what? Every politician,
00:37:35.760
like, like in conservative leadership, they were like, we will extract, um, the mineral and their
00:37:41.920
natural resources. Hello, Mr. Legault banned that. He banned the fact to extract or to produce anything
00:37:49.520
from our province. But we have no problem bringing it in from somewhere else, especially places where
00:37:55.200
we ideologically conflict like Saudi Arabia and Russia. We're like, that's fine. We'll take your oil.
00:37:59.840
It's sorry to cut you off. And apparently rent prices are now going through the roof as inflation
00:38:07.840
soars. Um, so maybe we can talk about that a little bit. There's an article here from, I believe,
00:38:13.440
CTV news, just as a nice little segue. Um, so apparently an economics professor at Concordia
00:38:20.160
University in Montreal said Canadians can expect to see the rate of inflation increase in the near
00:38:24.160
future as well as in a rise in rent prices. Um, apparently Toronto saw rent prices skyrocket
00:38:30.720
between 2021 and 2022 with average rent price of a one bedroom until a unit in the city at 2133 per
00:38:38.000
month, a 15.7% increase compared to the year before. What? That's nuts. And like the, our wages aren't
00:38:45.760
going up. And we already had a housing crisis before all of this inflation. Yeah. Like people,
00:38:50.560
we like five, six years ago, people were already like, it's so expensive to live in the cities.
00:38:54.960
I, I, I don't know what it's like in Quebec. Yeah. What's it like? What is it? What's it cost
00:38:58.880
for like a one bedroom there? So I would say like us in Quebec, we have a kind of chance so that it's
00:39:06.880
not really affecting, it's affecting. I would not say that it just like, um, I was talking with someone
00:39:13.040
during, I was doing like a streeter and the guy say, you know, I, I left my apartment. I was paying
00:39:18.240
like 700, but my, my, um, owner, the owner of the, the place, uh, ran after me for $1,200. So it's,
00:39:28.960
it's, it's, it's five or like $500 more, uh, on the, on the same place, just because he left,
00:39:37.200
because we have like, um, a protection on the bell that you cannot raise. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:42.800
We have that as well. Yeah. But if you leave your place, you can increase like the price as, uh,
00:39:49.600
the normal level of, uh, the renting place. But here at, we, I would say that it's different if
00:39:56.000
you take it with furniture or not, but it's turned around Quebec city. I'm talking, uh, but around
00:40:03.120
eight, seven, 800. It's not, it's not too bad. It's depending on how many cities.
00:40:07.920
Let's all move there. If you go to Montreal, you can see the big difference. Okay. It's,
00:40:14.400
the price is really more high because Quebec, it's mostly like student or like, you know, people work
00:40:22.560
around, but it's, it's, it's not a really industrial, uh, place. Right. But we can see in the suburb,
00:40:30.560
like neighbor price is getting high too. Like people have really a high, a hard time to find
00:40:38.640
place to stay here. Our problem is not, it's not as the price as we don't have apartment. We don't
00:40:46.320
have any place because we have a restriction on building. Yeah. So we don't have enough space.
00:40:54.000
So it's supply and demand for the people. Yeah. Yeah. Well like liberals hate construction and
00:40:58.880
just like, um, infrastructure infrastructure. Yeah, no, definitely. She, she knows how to read
00:41:03.760
my mind. I read her mind. Um, yeah, it's just insane. And the thing is, if people can't afford
00:41:08.640
to pay their rent, they're never going to be able to afford to buy a home ever because all your
00:41:13.360
disposable income is now going towards your inflated rent. Like, what are you, what are people
00:41:17.440
supposed to do? I guess we'll just own nothing and be happy and we'll eat crickets. I guess. Yeah.
00:41:21.760
We're going to eat crickets. What do you think it would happen? Well, okay. According to this
00:41:27.280
article. Oh, sorry. No. What do you think? I would just say, what do you think it would happen?
00:41:31.760
Just because people, some people would not pay their rent. Right. And the owner would have a hard
00:41:37.520
time to get their money. That's happened, um, historically and it's happening here a lot right
00:41:42.800
now. Yeah. We talked about that on the show as well, where it's, what's it called? Economic
00:41:46.400
disobedience. Yeah. Where people just refuse to pay rent and, um, which is not fair to the landlords
00:41:50.720
either. It's not fair to the landlords, but some like, uh, I, I read that, I forget which city it
00:41:55.920
was in the U S but I think it was in the seventies or eighties. The rent was at, I think it was New
00:42:00.160
York, New York city. Yeah. And it, the rents were just increasing, increasing like crazy. So people
00:42:04.320
started and there's a musical about it called rent, which is actually a great musical. Um, but people
00:42:09.200
just stopped paying rent and it actually imposed rent control, which you can argue is not good because,
00:42:14.640
um, landlords will specifically make your life a living hell so that you leave because they'll like,
00:42:20.560
oh, if you have like a, something broken in your apartment, they'll just be like,
00:42:22.960
it's on you. Like they don't, they have no, um, reason to no incentive to actually make your,
00:42:28.960
your living space nice experience. Exactly. So there's pros and cons to that. But in that one
00:42:35.360
situation, it, it ended up in rent control. Um, it's arguable. I don't really understand which
00:42:42.000
one's better or not, but it seems like we need, and I don't think people should not pay the rent
00:42:46.080
because like you said, it's not fair to the landlord. Yeah. Um, it's not fair to people who
00:42:49.840
pay the rent to actually are like, like you had four jobs when you moved here. Um, yeah. Like how
00:42:55.520
does that, how does that help society as a whole? I don't know what the answer is, but what did the
00:43:00.400
article say? The article did say that by the end of this year, we should see like the prices deflate
00:43:06.640
a bit, but I'm not really sure like based on what grounds, like such an empty prediction.
00:43:11.680
I'm not sure. And also why specifically at the end of the year, is there something we don't know
00:43:16.160
is I don't know. It's, it's interesting, but I feel like we're in a little bit of a bubble. Like
00:43:19.600
I am no financial or a real estate expert, but I do feel like prices are so high. Like my dad lives in
00:43:25.520
this reasonably sized house. It's, it's not very big, but it, the price of it has gone up so much in
00:43:30.480
the past couple of years. And even he was like, this is not worth that. Like it's not a reasonable,
00:43:35.360
um, rate for this home. Exactly. So I do think that maybe if, and I don't know, I, again,
00:43:41.040
not an expert on this at all. So apologies, but if the price of homes in a buyer's market go down,
00:43:46.480
I would think that rental prices should come down as well, but maybe they don't like, maybe
00:43:50.880
landlords are like, sweet. I'm making a bigger profit. Like, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.
00:43:55.040
We should call in an expert. We should call in an expert. I am not. But I just, but I have my,
00:44:00.800
my own place that I rent. And, uh, I would say that I'm going with the flow with the price of the market.
00:44:07.760
So it's probably the market that needs to go down. Good point. Then the price of the, uh, the,
00:44:14.000
the price that you pay your place, because I don't think it's really related. At the end of the day,
00:44:19.360
you buy a place because you want to rent it and at long term make profit on it. I don't know how many
00:44:25.600
years or whatever, but I, I have something to say, uh, Toronto, what you pay for rent.
00:44:32.640
It's way higher. Like, it doesn't go really with the, yes, of course you pay a lot for
00:44:39.520
a place. I think it's almost, sometimes it's like a million dollars. It's just
00:44:45.040
houses are like 1.5 and they're not even like, when you think million dollar home,
00:44:48.960
you think like a mansion. Yeah. Like basketball courts. No, it's like a bungalow. Yeah. It's like
00:44:53.920
a one bed. Yeah. So I, I don't know if they need to review, uh, the market or do like, uh,
00:45:01.280
frozen limits, a frozen limits of, uh, the price that you, you can rent a place because right now,
00:45:08.560
uh, people can put whatever, uh, how much they want to rent that place. And that is not good for,
00:45:16.000
doesn't that drive up cost? Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, for sure. It's just a vicious cycle and
00:45:20.720
it's about to get worse because apparently the world's largest cricket production facility is
00:45:25.440
officially complete, you guys. So we can be poor and eat bugs. Yeah. So they're, they're farming
00:45:30.480
crickets to put into, I think like meat patties, like cricket, cricket meat food. Um, where is this?
00:45:38.080
So London, Ontario, Ontario. Oh boy. So Aspire Food Group's new plant in London,
00:45:44.640
Ontario is ready to produce 9,000 metric tons of crickets annually for human and pet consumption.
00:45:51.040
Okay. No, Beatrice, you won't be eating crickets. Are you going to eat, are you going to eat them,
00:45:54.960
Alexa? I have some flour of crickets. I knew it. You're very adventurous. No, it's actually a really
00:46:03.920
high protein, uh, powder that you can cook with on muffin or crepes or bread. And it's really,
00:46:12.080
eating crickets at your house. It tastes absolutely nothing. They actually transform
00:46:17.360
it as a flour, like, uh, uh, instead of white or brown flour, you use that in the time. Like
00:46:25.520
I bought that. It's been a while, like a couple of years ago. And you know, at that time, the price
00:46:32.480
of just a small pack was so high because the demand was, uh, was there, but yeah, it just for someone
00:46:42.480
who wants to get in shape and feed the muscle and everything, it's actually a really good nutriment.
00:46:48.240
It's just like people see the bugs as you, but when it's grilled and put on flour, you don't really
00:46:56.880
realize that these actually bugs. Yeah. I think for me, it's just, it seems like there's an attack
00:47:01.600
on the meat industry and they're trying to replace farming meat via cows, et cetera, with bugs. And I
00:47:09.600
just, that scares me because we've, the world economic forums talked about this and it's just like,
00:47:13.920
like, it's like, do you think our politicians are going to be eating bugs? No, it's just the rest of
00:47:17.680
us. No, I hear what you're saying, Alexa. Yeah, absolutely. And especially if they make you more
00:47:20.800
cost effective for people. But I don't like when, when WEF people, like world economic forum people
00:47:26.320
are telling us to eat bugs, then my antennae go up. And it's like, if it was like rebels like you,
00:47:30.880
who were like, this is actually a great source of proteins, really healthy. It makes sense for my
00:47:34.160
lifestyle. Oh, that's a disgusting image. That's disgusting. Okay. But I would say something like,
00:47:39.120
uh, you know, human, uh, should not eat meat every day. We are not made for it, but it's just the
00:47:45.760
society and the risk of our life make that we eat meat mostly every day, but we are not carnivore
00:47:53.360
as human. We are omnivore. So we eat a little bit of everything and we should mix with balance.
00:47:59.760
Yeah. Yeah. Mix with everything. Yeah. It's why like the projection can get like at a high point that we,
00:48:07.360
we, we waste so much. Actually, I would say the projection is too high. And if you look at all
00:48:14.480
the grocery store, they throw away most of their stock because people are not buying it. And I'm
00:48:20.400
just like, why are you doing this? Like there's a lot of ways. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's mostly the
00:48:27.040
waste that make, uh, the meat industry look bad because it's not the consumer. Yeah. And the factory
00:48:30.960
farming. Yeah. That's gross. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We need to go back to the basics for sure. Yeah. Um,
00:48:36.240
yeah. But yeah, I'm, I'm probably not going to eat bugs. I might eat bugs if you make cookies
00:48:41.120
with bug flour. If you bring cricket cookies to the office, I'll eat them. I will eat them.
00:48:45.280
But only for you. Perfect. Yeah. Only for you. With chocolate chips, please.
00:48:48.400
Do we have any chats? Maybe we should get to some chats because we only have about
00:48:52.080
10 minutes. Yes, we do. Here. Um, do we put them on the screen these days or should I just read them?
00:48:57.360
Um, okay. I'm not the best reader. Yeah. I got, I have them here. So we have $1 from noble Canadian.
00:49:06.240
It says, uh, one pretty rebel host. I can handle two. Okay. But three rebel hosts.
00:49:10.960
Are you trying to make me smitten? Thanks for all you do. Oh, that's so sweet. It's true.
00:49:16.800
Maybe you should have sent $3. No, I'm just kidding. One for each of us.
00:49:20.240
One for each of us. That's very sweet. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Um, we have another from
00:49:24.800
Frasier, $5. Uh, the three most beautiful and charming ladies on YouTube. Guys, I see a trend
00:49:29.840
here. Wow. That's so sweet. You should watch Misunderstood then. And well, maybe we'll have
00:49:33.840
Alexa on and the three of us. We should call this Feminine Fridays from now on.
00:49:36.080
Feminine Fridays. That's so fun. You want to take the next one? Oh yeah. Where is it here?
00:49:39.760
Noble Canadian again. Oh, Noble Canadian again. Thank you for your dollar. I don't trust any politician
00:49:44.000
that won't answer a question by rebel. Yeah, that's fair. Why are you so scared? I know.
00:49:48.320
Why are you so scared of like a young journalist with a microphone? Yeah, he's like 17. Like,
00:49:52.160
what's he going to do to you? He's a little older. Talk about his math homework? Oh no,
00:49:54.800
he's not. No, he's literally 17. He's super young. He's just going to talk about his math homework
00:49:58.160
or something. Like, I'm just kidding. He's great. The point, the point in all that is like,
00:50:03.520
journalists are not important. We are here for just ask the question. Yeah, exactly. And it's their
00:50:10.720
point to make it look good. Not us. Exactly. Anybody. Yeah. Yeah. And I've said
00:50:17.440
this before. It's like, we're only going to make you look as stupid as you make you look.
00:50:20.080
Yeah. You don't want to trick. You don't want to trick anyone. No. And especially in situations
00:50:23.920
like that, where it's just him walking down the street, holding cameras, like there's not a lot
00:50:26.880
of room for subtle, tricky editing. We don't do that anyways. People always think that like,
00:50:30.560
that's why they don't want to go on camera with us. Cause it's like, oh, you'll manipulate it. No,
00:50:34.080
people do that, but we, we don't have time. We literally, we pump out so much content in a day. We
00:50:38.960
have a no desire to do that because we literally tell the truth. That's our whole
00:50:43.120
business model. That's our shtick. And B, we don't have the freaking time or, or
00:50:47.040
energy to be manipulating every single thing to make you guys look stupid. You just make
00:50:51.440
yourselves look stupid by not answering questions. Yeah. You've done it to yourself.
00:50:55.440
Yeah, you have. I think we have another chat here from Adam Ottawa. Congratulations,
00:51:00.000
rebels. iPolitics covered William's interview of Omar, the transport goblin. Oh, wow. That's cool.
00:51:05.760
Thank you for your dollar. By the way, Adam, we appreciate that. William is killing it.
00:51:09.440
He's truly killing it. He's just snabbing all those politicians. Oh yeah. Like they're just
00:51:15.280
all like going to lunch and their fancy jackets and stuff. And they're not ready for a rebel with
00:51:20.000
a mic in their face. And it's funny. I love it. I think they're going to be taking a lot more
00:51:24.080
Ubers around or they're fancy or whatever they drive. They won't be walking anymore. We have one
00:51:29.840
from wrong way. 54 $1. Thank you. It says five months after the epic historical trucker protest in
00:51:36.320
Ottawa for a month. Has anyone heard any news on the hospitals being overwhelmed with COVID patients?
00:51:40.960
That would be a super spreader event. Yeah, no, no, but I did go to the hospital a few months ago.
00:51:47.760
I went to ER and I was talking to the we won't get into this why, but I was talking to the nurse.
00:51:52.160
I'm okay. And she said, yeah, she said that like the there weren't enough beds. And so like hospital
00:52:02.400
patients would come in and they'd wait in whatever the middle is between seeing your doctor and like
00:52:08.000
getting a room or whatever. There just weren't enough beds. So people would be waiting for their
00:52:11.280
own room or bed for up to three days because of COVID. No, just because of capacity. So like,
00:52:16.880
I don't know. I think that's been a problem for a long time. Yeah. And it's something our politicians
00:52:20.320
promised they would work on because we were in an alleged. Yeah, like you had to we were in a
00:52:24.560
pandemic. We were in a pandemic. You could have built hospitals this whole time. They could have
00:52:28.800
like have any new hospitals been built during COVID because of the pandemic in there and not just
00:52:34.240
because of the pandemic, but because of the huge gap in the health care system that it it exposed.
00:52:39.760
Yeah, maybe a good point. Like I know certain hospitals outside of the cities were empty. Like I
00:52:45.600
know nurses who were like, yeah, hey, how was it during COVID? And they're like it was empty because people
00:52:49.840
were too scared to go. Maybe. Yeah. What was it like in Quebec? Have you had many encounters with
00:52:54.640
the hospital? I hope not. No, but I was shot. Yes. I was going to say like, oh, yeah, after like the
00:53:00.880
freedom convoy, the hospital was crazy in Ottawa for by beating people by the police, but I was just
00:53:10.800
But no, in Quebec, actually, I was talking with some nurse that was telling me that
00:53:17.280
that most of the place was empty and that some people who came to the hospital first was not for
00:53:25.200
COVID. But because the tests of COVID, they have been put in the category of COVID. But it was actually
00:53:34.240
for something else, not for COVID. Yeah. So it's why I and afterwards, the the politician, I agree with
00:53:42.400
that, that they didn't make the difference between the people who enter for something else. Yeah. But
00:53:47.920
after that, after being positive, that bike of it or for COVID or with COVID. Yeah. Yeah. With COVID.
00:53:56.240
That was something that came out like only quite recently in the last couple of months that were
00:54:00.160
like, yeah, deaths caused by or deaths associated with like that. They died with with COVID. It's
00:54:06.480
completely different. And I saw a correction. I think it was in a UK newspaper that was like,
00:54:11.200
we previously reported that 4000 children died of COVID. It was like 4000 kids were infected
00:54:17.040
with COVID. And they made a little tiny little thing at the bottom air. That's a huge error. Like
00:54:22.400
of those 4000 kids, probably one or two died. Like, I don't know. Yeah, I think it was like
00:54:29.040
under like a couple hundred in the US. And obviously, it's horrifying. Any child dying is
00:54:33.920
of course, of course. So tragic. But it's different than saying 4000 children died of
00:54:37.280
COVID. That's terrifying. Yeah, no, definitely. We got another chat here. Oh, no. Finish your
00:54:41.840
thought. Finish your thought. I was just saying that, you know, it's okay if the lies come from
00:54:50.560
politicians or from the good narrative, because we can tolerate that. But if it's come from
00:54:57.920
conspiracy theory, oh, my God, we're not we are not believing that. But all the conspiracy theory,
00:55:06.080
most of them I've been like find true. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, no kidding. Which one hasn't?
00:55:11.520
Yeah, which one hasn't? I don't know. We'll see. The earth is flat. No, I'm just yeah. I don't know.
00:55:16.320
Uh, Pamela for freedom gave us 10 bucks. Thank you so much. I live on the Sunshine Coast in BC,
00:55:21.920
and our property taxes went up 40%. Wow. Therefore, housing prices are up 40%. Single dwelling homes
00:55:28.800
starting at 1 million crazy town. You ladies rock. Wow. No, I'm sorry. It's crazy, though. That's crazy.
00:55:35.440
Yeah. How do you even live? I'm from Abbotsford, British Columbia, and the like to buy a house there
00:55:42.400
in like the lower mainland. It's not it's not nothing special. It's not on the Sunshine Coast. Like,
00:55:46.880
I mean, it's a sweet little town. But like, it's insane how expensive it is for a town. Like,
00:55:51.040
you're like, what the heck? I should I could be living in New York City. I mean, I don't want to
00:55:55.280
because I'm not allowed. But yeah, I looked up the price of like the market will crash at one point.
00:56:01.760
Yeah, I cannot have a market as high as that. Yeah. Yeah. It's a bubble. I don't know anything
00:56:08.080
about it. It's a bubble. I don't know if you remember. I think it was in 19 19 watts. I don't really
00:56:15.760
remember. But at one point, you know that someplace we didn't have any gas anymore.
00:56:20.960
So people who had like big car, they all changed for small car because they were scared to live
00:56:27.120
again. This situation where you were going to a petrol station that they were like run out of gas.
00:56:33.680
But it's probably what will happen. Or I don't know. Have you heard that now the the number of people
00:56:41.040
who have been like tour their car because they were missing gas have increased recently because some
00:56:48.800
people are just putting ten dollars or fifteen dollars and they think they will reach home, but
00:56:53.760
they don't. I do that. That's terrible. I'm like, I can make it. I can make it. Be careful. Oh my gosh,
00:56:59.760
that's so horrible. Just it breaks my heart that so many people are suffering in this in this in these
00:57:06.240
circumstances. Do you have any final thoughts? Because I think it's 1pm. Do you want to take it away,
00:57:13.600
Alexa? Wrap it up. Wrap her up. I have like some echo of like sibling people like twin people who are
00:57:22.960
like talking at the same time. But we're here for some money there. Come play with us, Alexa. I think I would
00:57:31.200
just run away. As Jacen Trudeau. But I don't think Jacen Trudeau will have been like running away from
00:57:39.120
tree girl. We'll probably have smile on things that we say. Hello. We are Rebel News and we'll be like,
00:57:44.960
holy hell. We could Project Veritas in maybe. Yeah, let's do it. Oh, that's good. Okay, we'll plan.
00:57:52.400
We'll plan. We'll keep this top secret because we're live on the air right now, but we'll chat after
00:57:56.000
this. He watches these, of course. So thank you guys for tuning in to the Rebel News daily live stream,
00:58:00.960
which airs every weekday at 12pm Eastern Time. It was great to chat with you, Alexa. It's been so
00:58:08.080
long. Come to Toronto. I haven't seen you since the Christmas party. I miss you. Please come to
00:58:12.240
Toronto and bake us cricket cookies, okay? Yeah, probably. And now that we will be able to take
00:58:18.560
the flight back. And trains. People forget. You couldn't take a train. Yeah, trains are so nice.
00:58:23.120
Yeah. So on Monday, we will resume. I think it, I believe it's Sheila and Adam. They usually do Mondays.
00:58:29.040
The Calgary show. Talk a little Western stuff. Calgary show. Talk about beef. Well,
00:58:33.280
she's from Edmonton, but talk about some beef. Yum. Maybe they'll talk about crickets too.
00:58:40.560
Until then, guys, have a good weekend. Yeah, great. Stay fresh. Bye. Bye.
