Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at
00:00:04.660
some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:10.280
So what pray tell is more pathetic? The incessant lying by Martin Joseph Englehart, a man who
00:00:17.600
continues to falsely claim that he was abused by the rank-and-file demonstrators who comprised the
00:00:24.600
freedom convoy in Ottawa, or the fact that the CBC, who portrayed this fraudster as a victim,
00:00:32.440
is refusing to do the right thing, namely being transparent about their shoddy reporting.
00:00:40.240
Alexa Lavoie shall explain all. And for whatever reason, drag queen story time is all the rage in
00:00:46.980
certain circles these days, but consider what happened at the Dallas gay bar Mr. Mister recently.
00:00:54.600
Elementary school-age children were ushered in to take part in a very sexualized show
00:01:01.020
staged by men pretending to be women. What the hell? Juan Mendoza has all the disturbing
00:01:09.040
nitty-gritty details. And letters, we get your letters, we get your letters every minute of every
00:01:14.680
day. And I'll share some of your responses about our story regarding our visit to a Ford Nation event.
00:01:21.420
Guess what? We were told to scram, even though we had an invitation. And what's more, if we didn't
00:01:29.140
leave, as in immediately, we would be charged with trespassing? Meanwhile, the mainstream media
00:01:35.900
was welcomed in with open arms. Why? No reason given, because that's how Dougie rules these days.
00:01:44.320
Those are your rebels, and now let's round them up.
00:01:57.520
Hello, everyone. As you know, we are always trying to dig deeper in our investigation. This time,
00:02:05.640
I went further in the story published by CBC about Martin Joseph Engelhardt,
00:02:11.320
the supposed victim of the Freedom Convoy. He claimed having spent all his entire life-saving
00:02:19.080
for the convoy without being paid back. CBC is blocking our investigation into how wrong
00:02:25.680
they got this story from the beginning. For people who don't know what I'm talking about,
00:02:31.240
you can see my previous report at mediafactcheck.ca. This is an excerpt of the report made by CBC
00:02:38.980
on March 24. It was amazing. It was just like all the people waving flags and everything. And I
00:02:45.320
thought that was a cause, you know, that was bigger than me. And I thought, you know, it was
00:02:51.400
worth the effort to go. I start giving people my business card with my phone number on it. And I
00:03:01.980
started delivering fuel and picking up laundry and delivery for restaurants and everything for the
00:03:10.740
trucker. And I got arrested for bringing people fuel. The van was impounded for 30 days. I asked my
00:03:17.800
bank on February 14, how much money that I spent from January 27 to the 14. And the total was
00:03:26.520
a little bit over 13,000. On May 28, we filled two different access to information with CBC.
00:03:35.260
First, we asked to provide a copy of all communication with Martin, Joseph and Gerhard since
00:03:40.680
January 1st, 2022. On May 4th, we received an answer from the senior director to the access to the
00:03:50.340
information at CBC. They refused to reveal any information invoking the section 68.1 of the act,
00:03:59.340
which say, this act does not apply to any information that is under the control of the Canadian Broadcasting
00:04:08.920
Corporation that relate to its journalistic, creative or programming activities other than information that
00:04:17.640
relate to its general administration. Okay, fair enough. We don't want communication with a source.
00:04:26.640
A journalist has the right to protect those, even if the source is a liar. So we asked for something
00:04:36.340
different. On May 30, we received the decision for the second demand, which was providing copy of all
00:04:45.280
documents including email, text or instant message, Slack message, WhatsApp message, memo, briefing note,
00:04:54.280
report, media line, etc. Regarding questions raised about Martin, Joseph and Gerhard. See, we don't want
00:05:03.340
their communication with Gerhard. We want their communication with the public about how they screwed up
00:05:09.280
the Gerhard story. The result ended up with some email exchange between Andrew Layton from True
00:05:18.280
North and Chuck Thompson. Andrew Layton, notifying them about some of false information about Martin,
00:05:25.280
Joseph and Gerhard that was mentioned in their report. But this is not my concern. We know that Martin and Gerhard
00:05:34.280
Engelhard have transmitted some bank account statements, video or probably other proof of history. We know that
00:05:44.280
probably lots of people have tried to reach CBC to tell them about the money they gave to him and to aware
00:05:51.280
them also about the misinformation in their report. None of this exchange was providing to us. Again, what do they
00:06:03.280
have to hide from this story? I bring your attention on page 7 of the document where two people from CBC told
00:06:12.280
each other. I think this is a good way to bring more context to this subject without having to re-litigate
00:06:21.280
Angelhard's story or his past. Special thanks to George and Root for helping me navigate this controversy.
00:06:30.280
They want us to believe they only heard from Layton about this story. We know that Fox News' Greg Ray reached out to CBC.
00:06:39.280
Where are those emails? Where are the emails about Ray's emails? A controversy doesn't start with only one person
00:06:47.280
bringing you some misinformation. That is usually when multiple people are saying the opposite story.
00:06:54.280
Why these communications were not provided through the access of information?
00:07:00.280
Also, we see that they were aware that their story wasn't accurate and they should probably have some more
00:07:09.280
information to it or rectify others. Why this was never done?
00:07:15.280
At first blush, the story of Martin Joseph Anglehart seems somewhat heartbreaking. You know, this idea of a good
00:07:24.280
Samaritan being taken advantage of. But there's just one teeny tiny little problem regarding his sad tale.
00:07:33.280
And it's this to quote Romulan Senator Vrenak. It's a fake. Yeah, that's right.
00:07:40.280
Anglehart's story is about as authentic as a $3 bill. But riddle me this. What is more pathetic?
00:07:48.280
Anglehart's habitual line or the CBC covering for him as they try to cover up their own shoddy reporting.
00:07:58.280
Unbelievable. And with more on this ongoing sordid saga is our Quebec-based reporter.
00:08:04.280
And that would be Alexa Lavoie. Bonjour, Alexa. How you doing there?
00:08:14.280
Easy, easy. Alexa, so many angles to this story.
00:08:19.280
But for me, the most infuriating thing is really the lack of transparency from the CBC.
00:08:26.280
Now, if the CBC was a private media entity, they could tell us to take a long walk off a short pier.
00:08:33.280
But the CBC is taxpayer-funded. We pay them. They work for us.
00:08:39.280
So why aren't we getting straight answers regarding this latest pathetic example of CBC journalism?
00:08:50.280
But, obviously, they don't want to show how wrong and how they screw that story from the beginning.
00:08:58.280
First of all, they refused to give us any of the exchange with Martin, Joseph, and Gohar.
00:09:05.280
And after that, we wanted to know what does the public and other media say about that story.
00:09:11.280
And it ended up that we just had the exchange with Andrew Layton from True North when we know that Gray from Fox News had had some exchange with Chuck Thompson.
00:09:28.280
And this email and this exchange was not provided in the ask for the access to information.
00:09:37.280
So we saw that they actually just gave us a really small part of the information that they had for not giving us the massive, like, probably email that they received from a lot of people who say that what they had in their report was actually incorrect.
00:09:59.280
It was misinformation that they were spreading, but they were not like why they would give it to us for proving that they screw up that story.
00:10:10.280
Probably they had the chance to get back to add more information or to rectify the story.
00:10:17.280
But instead, they prefer to hide every information that proved that they were wrong since the beginning.
00:10:26.280
And, you know, Alexa, in my book, speaking in journalistic terms, that is unethical and immoral.
00:10:37.840
They should be running a retraction, a correction, or doing a follow-up story saying, here's the real story, much like what you did.
00:10:47.580
And instead, I'm getting a sense of entitlement.
00:10:50.320
Maybe, Alexa, is it because the CBC, they get more than $1 billion of our taxpayer dollars every year?
00:11:13.340
Well, at least until Pierre Polyev becomes prime minister, if that should occur, and he defunds them.
00:11:19.140
Is that what's really behind this grotesque entitlement?
00:11:24.160
But at the same time, this is actually dangerous for Pierre Polyev to say, oh, I would defund CBC.
00:11:31.000
Because, as we know, their report was not entirely factual and incorrect.
00:11:41.000
So, do they will do the same for Pierre Polyev when he will, like, do the campaign strongly afterwards?
00:11:52.040
It's just something that I'm really worried about it.
00:11:57.020
Because on the story of Engel Hart, it's just one, one of the multiple stories that probably was false.
00:12:07.840
Oh, I have no doubt, Alexa, that as we talk right now, just about every CBC journalist is calling every source they know and saying,
00:12:17.880
hey, what kind of dirt can you dig up on Pierre Polyev?
00:12:23.340
But getting back to this story, for those who haven't followed along this story, because it started months ago, Alexa, who exactly is Martin Joseph Engel Hart?
00:12:36.920
So, Martin Joseph Engel Hart was a man, actually a scam artist, but we heard about it afterwards.
00:12:48.560
But at the beginning was just a protestor joining the movement, but saying that he didn't have a strange position on the issue,
00:13:02.640
So, he joined the protest in Ottawa, the Freedom Protest Convoy, and he said that he spent his entire life saving to help the protestor without being reimbursed by the Freedom Convoy,
00:13:18.640
as they say that they would do, and they say that he didn't receive any money, when tons of people, after the report went out, say that they gave thousands and thousands of dollars to him,
00:13:31.120
and never, nobody was talking about the fact that he is telling the same story, but way before, like, some people have heard his story in 2019,
00:13:46.640
and it was the same story that he was living in his van, didn't have a home, and in the end he had cancer, and at the end, when I was digging on this story,
00:14:00.320
finding out that he was not allowed to drive, because his license was pulled out, he never had, like, a home,
00:14:09.100
and he had the criminal record, just in Quebec, for two pages, and no, it's not the cancer that he had, I found out that he had HIV, AIDS, so, what is going on?
00:14:27.620
Like, at the beginning, it was supposed to be just a man who actually lost everything, that can happen, like, I'm not telling that it cannot be false,
00:14:37.860
but when, as much people write their voice on social media, telling that it's false, and most of the story is false,
00:14:47.300
and some people say, oh, I recognize that man from three years ago, or two years ago, and it was the same story,
00:14:54.040
and I give him money at that time, he had arrested.
00:14:58.220
Just, you know, it's remarkable, and as you mentioned, he has proven to be a con man,
00:15:03.840
I suspect there might even be mental health issues at play here, too, I don't know if that's true or not,
00:15:11.180
but I get, you know, a whiff of that, as well, when I see him speaking.
00:15:16.240
One last point, Alexa, I think the real reason that the CBC used this man as a source,
00:15:25.280
that they didn't do due diligence, is that he was convenient for them,
00:15:30.740
and when I say convenient, their narrative, that is the CBC, it was all about vilifying and demonizing the people
00:15:39.680
who made up the Freedom Convoy movement, and so they find this guy with this sob story
00:15:46.300
about getting taken advantage of, completely false, completely discredited,
00:15:51.960
and the CBC is still hell-bent on not doing a mea culpa,
00:15:57.140
because if they can find anyone or anything demonizing this movement,
00:16:09.160
So, may I always say to people, don't believe all the time what you heard,
00:16:18.180
but the thing is, like, we know what is the truth,
00:16:22.760
but nothing has changed, like, they didn't, like, change their report,
00:16:29.000
they didn't change anything, they didn't write and apologize,
00:16:33.580
They use our taxpayer money for created stories that go into their narrative
00:16:40.900
and to push the narrative to everybody who are watching the news.
00:16:50.440
some people, some very important people watch the news
00:16:53.360
and take the decision to agree with the Emergencies Act.
00:17:03.420
what they did is still wrong, immoral, unethical,
00:17:11.320
we're all funding these guys down on Front Street
00:17:13.940
to the tune of more than a billion dollars a year,
00:17:22.900
We're going to get justice done one way or another.
00:17:38.000
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:17:50.360
that was letting kids sign up to go dance with drag queens.
00:18:04.660
two protests, an event being hosted at a gay bar
00:18:17.520
a family-friendly drag event at one of these gay bars,
00:18:20.800
which, by the way, had signs in neon on the walls
00:18:25.520
which, you know, they're exposing that to children already,
00:18:38.760
now to the point where they literally want to rape your kids,
00:18:41.920
the religious right that everyone said was so crazy,
00:18:50.480
So are you seeing stuff like this happening often in Dallas?
00:18:53.820
I mean, I was thinking Texas was more of a red state, so...
00:19:08.520
and United States flags being waved on the back,
00:19:14.580
oh, don't tell my kids she can't cut her dick off,
00:19:23.340
Yeah, so describe pretty much what you're seeing there
00:19:29.320
that were counter-protesting there when I got there,
00:19:34.600
Yeah, immediately we were greeted by Antifa militants,
00:19:38.340
Antifa is basically the paramilitary arm of the state.
00:20:13.100
but what they were defending in the first place,
00:20:48.100
into the g-strings and stalkings of the performers in fact i think that might even qualify as child
00:20:55.880
abuse and joining me now is our newest rebel news reporter and that would be juan mendoza
00:21:02.280
based in miami hey how you doing there juan uh pretty good david i mean it's been uh a whole uh
00:21:10.060
crazy turn of events here in the united states especially with what happened in dallas
00:21:13.620
oh a hundred percent the the madness just continues and you know one there was so much
00:21:19.760
to unpack here but first things first tell me what parent in their right mind would bring an
00:21:28.160
elementary school-age child to a gay bar and take part in a very sexualized drag queen performance
00:21:36.000
well david i asked myself that same question you know i mean for starters i mean it's a bar where
00:21:42.740
only 21 year olds and up are allowed to go in so i start myself asking that question now you add the
00:21:49.560
fact that it's a very sexualized event that's going on there with a sign in the back there that's saying
00:21:54.620
it's not going to lick itself which the messaging of that is very sexual in nature and i have no idea
00:22:00.900
what these parents were thinking taking young kids there to see a drag show yeah and you know one i that
00:22:08.400
was the first thing that sprung to mind for me because this mr mr bar is a licensed establishment
00:22:15.560
i'll admit i don't know what the liquor licensing rules are in texas but i would think that there
00:22:23.560
might be a prohibition for those who are not of legal drinking age or is there a way around that that
00:22:29.900
that just seems so weird to me i agree i mean i was thinking the same thing i mean these are
00:22:35.620
establishments that primarily sell alcoholic beverages in the first place so i was surprised
00:22:41.820
with that why they were allowing little kids into these events or into these establishments and then
00:22:47.280
these events just on top of it i mean what was going on in there was very sexual in nature i mean
00:22:52.660
literally people doing very sexual dances that were seen in strip clubs i mean that's very i mean
00:22:59.740
like i said like i was saying earlier i do not know what these parents had in mind when they were
00:23:04.840
saying oh i'll take my kids to this i mean it's very wrong just the idea that they would consider
00:23:10.340
taking their kids there yeah i mean what's next just to take their kids to a regular stripper bar and
00:23:18.040
you know get the full meal deal that way i mean in for a penny in for a pound it's really disturbing
00:23:24.320
but you know the thing is too one we have to be um we have you know we can't beat around the bush
00:23:30.420
here in terms of what this performance was this isn't drag queen story time that's almost become
00:23:37.480
normal in certain circles the idea of going to a library and hearing a story read by a man pretending
00:23:45.200
to be a female but these were very sexualized acts that were going on it was like being in a stripper
00:23:51.700
bar and i i again i i can't connect the dots here when it comes to what those children were learning or
00:24:02.880
what they were supposed to learn do you think this was all about i don't know indoctrination when it
00:24:10.480
comes to this lifestyle well personally i think that they're grooming these kids just to be okay with
00:24:16.900
pedophilia i mean a lot of grooming process they go step by step and they build up their way to where
00:24:23.460
they're actually doing like these horrendous things and horrendous crimes towards kids and that's what
00:24:29.100
i think is going on there and what disgusts me is that the left that claims to be pro-lgbt they're
00:24:34.780
defending these actions and they're making it look like the lgp uh the lgbt community are a bunch of
00:24:40.660
pedophiles there was a story inside the bar of course that was you know these children witnessing
00:24:45.700
these sexualized acts but there was also a story outside the bar uh you um referred to it in your
00:24:52.380
interview uh antifa coming down for some reason to i don't know claim solidarity with certain members
00:25:01.640
of the lgbtq plus i'm sure i've forgotten a few letters there what was the backstory there one
00:25:09.600
i mean antifa tends to show up to many of these uh controversial events i mean they claim that they
00:25:16.080
support the lgbt community but i mean they're they're defending literal grooming of kids i mean
00:25:22.420
it's hard you cannot defend when they're sexualizing kids like this especially in these environments so
00:25:28.740
uh antifa they always tend to show up to stuff like this and also what i see there's a texas
00:25:35.840
legislator uh brian slayton he announced a couple of days ago that he plans to introduce legislation
00:25:42.800
to ban myers minors that is from attending drag shows in texas uh do you think that's a good idea or
00:25:50.680
uh do you think that's a a no-hopper uh piece of legislation to be voted on
00:25:56.400
well personally i think it may be a good idea i mean just seeing just the sexual nature of many of
00:26:03.220
these drag shows happen and i mean with kids man that's a very um you don't do that with kids you
00:26:10.880
don't introduce sexual aspects to kids i mean that's what pedophiles do yeah i mean that might
00:26:17.700
sound harsh but the moment you introduce a minor to a sexualized environment uh you're getting close
00:26:26.340
to uh the whole pedophile issue and the thing too is in the bigger picture i think one you know
00:26:33.140
we've been told when it comes to members of this community uh be tolerant be accepting and i agree
00:26:41.960
with that but it's moved beyond that in recent years now it's all about affirmation and applause
00:26:48.960
in other words if you don't stand up and give a standing o to pride month and the lgbtq plus community
00:26:57.340
and everything that they entail you are labeled a bigot a homophobe a transphobe a hater um why can't
00:27:07.460
people just be allowed on both sides of this um issue to live their lives as private citizens and not
00:27:16.960
have to publicly endorse their support for anything well i i constantly tell people from
00:27:24.240
the lgbt community that uh they should not be uh looking at the left as their ally because the left
00:27:31.300
is only trying to use them for their own political gains and to excuse debaucherous acts such as grooming
00:27:37.100
kids and uh like i said the people on the left are defending these acts the only thing they're making
00:27:43.320
it look is they're they're making it look like the lgbt community consists of pedophiles or child
00:27:49.980
molesters which not everyone in the lgbt community is obviously no 100 one i mean i i know people in
00:27:58.820
that community and they live in suburbia and they just want to you know run their lives and be left
00:28:03.640
alone as private citizens or not radicalized activists so last question we are in pride month
00:28:10.600
do you see other bars going down this route um ramping up these kind of sexualized performances
00:28:19.460
and inviting minors to come in or do you think that overall the publicity was was so toxic with this mr
00:28:28.760
mr uh bar that this is really a one-off as opposed to the beginning of a trend well david it's hard to
00:28:37.260
tell i mean definitely the incidents that happened in dallas was a big uh it was a big surprise for
00:28:43.420
many people but there's many uh events like in san francisco where similar stuff happens like not in
00:28:49.000
the bar but when they're actually doing the pride parade so i mean probably and uh like i said even
00:28:55.040
though san francisco is a very far left city well you're right and i mean if this if mr mr was located
00:29:02.600
in san francisco uh i probably would have shrugged my shoulders uh it's more of the same it's still

00:30:48.000
a few days ago a personal invitation as far as i can tell from the premier and i'm very grateful for
00:30:54.120
that folks because you see when we were here last month for the campaign kickoff well i was shocked
00:31:01.820
because i've been going to ford fests and ford family events for maybe 15 years i'm always welcomed
00:31:09.700
with open arms not this time check it out i understand why leave now why zach why why is
00:31:17.980
that because we're not giving you accreditation to this event so yeah we're gonna ask you to leave
00:31:22.620
this under the trespass property act we will remove you okay who are you i work for the party and i'm
00:31:27.720
okay can i see some id then it's right here sir it just says tour 2022 yeah we're gonna have to ask
00:31:33.720
you leave okay what is your name then so we have uniformed police on site that will come and remove
00:31:38.780
you i don't even know can i ask you why that's a fair question i see other media we're not you're not
00:31:44.260
invited to the event and you're not checked in you're not coming into the event but do you have
00:31:48.480
to be invited i see all sorts of people coming everybody here is invited and they're all here
00:31:51.860
for the right reasons so yeah so i was considered uh persona non grata the same with uh joe warmington
00:31:59.800
of the truanto sun um and it's inexplicable because joe warmington i think has given the ford family
00:32:06.980
the fairest coverage over the past 20 years and he was uh given the bums rush as well but we are
00:32:14.900
indeed here on an invitation basis so they can't possibly kick us out again or or can they oh and
00:32:22.100
by the way just to show i'm a really good guest well a good guest doesn't come empty-handed i have a
00:32:29.860
gorgeous cherry cheesecake for the premier we know he loves cherry cheesecake check out the video evidence
00:32:37.220
i'm gonna pour this on but if you don't like cherries you eat blueberries if it wasn't premier
00:32:44.680
i'd open up the cheesecake factory that my friends is the premier's cheesecake friends stay safe
00:32:51.760
stay healthy and these are some of the fun things you can do when you're self-isolating
00:32:56.320
so there you have it folks a party awaits a cheesecake awaits
00:33:19.000

00:33:22.560

film on the street there that's the only five or the other oh is that right zach really okay
00:34:22.300
how much do you charge the haunted house by the way what what yeah yeah no no i have an invitation
00:34:29.120
can you please make your way to the time please i don't think you outranked the premier of the
00:34:34.400
province sir and i have an audio invitation okay then so why does the premier invite me and then
00:34:41.620
you guys say not only am i not invited you won't even give me a reason why i'm not invited i just
00:34:46.700
told you why you're not invited no you didn't what is the reason you're not invited because you've
00:34:51.560
tried this before we didn't allow you in so for 15 years i've been coming to ford family events
00:34:57.320
15 years more and i've been welcomed with open arms is it too much to ask to get it
00:35:02.860
so you can make your way to the sidewalk i'm on the side you're not on the side of the property
00:35:08.520
yeah where those people are standing right there if we could ask you to please
00:35:11.780
who is the private property owner of this building so the toronto congress center okay so is this
00:35:17.400
taxpayer supported i know it's a private entity all right well folks we tried and um even with an
00:35:25.600
invitation i you know the the you're you're feel feel free to cover and record us but we're just
00:35:33.780
going to ask you oh that's very generous of you officer i really appreciate that you see i have
00:35:37.720
an invitation here okay i have an audio recording of that invitation and i why am i not being allowed
00:35:45.620
in and not even given a reason officer i'm not trying to give you a hard time i just want some
00:35:51.000
transparency if that's possible so we're obviously hired by their security team and that's all i
00:35:57.000
could tell you i'm not going to engage in further conversation with you okay and they have their
00:36:00.820
provisions and we're simply providing security for this venue here okay just following orders then
00:36:06.080
well i have a job to do and i'm gonna do it okay lovely that wondrous encounter took place on the
00:36:12.500
evening before election day and as you saw folks what a truly baffling reception for not only was i
00:36:20.020
barred from attending the scaled down ford fest but i was never given a reason why how odd doug
00:36:29.160
ford has spoken at rebel live events in the past doug ford once proposed a weekly rebel news show
00:36:35.620
in which i was going to be the co-host but that was then and this is now dougie in the immortal
00:36:42.780
words of fred willard what happened hey what happened in any event you had plenty to say about
00:36:51.240
the rude reception we received at the toronto congress center last week janet campbell writes
00:36:58.580
rebel is not invited because they tell the truth plain and simple well janet i think you are on to
00:37:05.040
something here i think the unspoken reason rebel news is media non grata these days is due to the
00:37:12.140
fact that we have for the past two years covered the queen's park demonstration staged by yahoo nation
00:37:19.440
you know people who for the most part voted in the doug ford pcs in 2018 doug i believe didn't like what
00:37:28.860
those people had to say so his solution was well shoot the messenger how odd that for such a large
00:37:36.940
man he has such thin skin jay outboard shop writes hmm public servants hired for a private event
00:37:45.580
that was publicly announced as a come one come all event yes it was so odd jay and is it too much to ask
00:37:54.380
why certain invited people ourselves excluded were not allowed in well i guess when it comes to zach
00:38:02.980
the hack whoever that guy is yes it is too much to ask jordana writes this is insane doug will lose
00:38:12.240
a lot of votes not the same person he was many years ago absolutely shameful well jordana as we all
00:38:18.920
know now the ford pcs were returned to office with an even bigger majority going from 76 seats to 83
00:38:27.840
but keep in mind that was a dubious record that was set last week percentage wise it was a record low
00:38:36.620
voter turnout in ontario a pathetic 43 percent many pc supporters simply stayed home and the now outgoing
00:38:46.820
leaders of the main opposition parties stephen del duca of the liberals and andrea horwath of the
00:38:52.780
ndp well let's face it they were duds and they ran brutal campaigns it's almost as though the pcs won by
00:39:00.540
default really and sandra trimble writes pretty ironic that the conservative media and press are not
00:39:08.440
allowed into the progressive conservative party rallies that the premier holds well indeed the toronto sun's
00:39:16.080
joel warmington he was also barred from attending a pc event last month and no msm journalist has been
00:39:23.920
fairer to the ford family than joe has over the past two decades so it would seem that the puppet
00:39:31.300
masters behind doug ford lean left of center these days maybe that explains why tor star the parent of
00:39:39.600
the toronto star recently received an online gambling license worth 500 million dollars a year
00:39:46.760
maybe that old saying is true keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer you must keep
00:39:53.900
your friends close and your enemies even closer wait what's that supposed to mean well that wraps up
00:40:03.380
another edition of rebel roundup thanks so much for joining us see you next week and hey folks never
00:40:08.080
forget without risk there can be no glory good night
