Summary
Did you ever give consent so that your cell phone provider could share your personal information with the federal government? You know, so that the Liberals could keep tabs on your whereabouts during the pandemic? Well, this disturbing Orwellian way of taking, of tracking, rather, private citizens did indeed occur. And speaking of unbelievable, remember all those glowing stories via the government-funded mainstream media during the Calgary Stampede about Justin Trudeau being mobbed by admirers?

Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at
00:00:04.840
some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:10.960
Hey folks, did you ever give consent so that your cell phone provider could share your personal
00:00:17.400
information with the federal government? You know, so that the Justin Trudeau liberals could keep
00:00:24.860
tabs on your whereabouts during the pandemic? Well, this disturbing Orwellian way of taking,
00:00:32.840
of tracking rather, private citizens did indeed occur. Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the unbelievable
00:00:39.680
details. And speaking of unbelievable, remember all those glowing stories via the government-funded
00:00:46.940
mainstream media during the Calgary Stampede regarding Justin Trudeau being mobbed by admirers?
00:00:55.340
Well, it turns out this was all so much phony baloney propaganda. Our man in Calgary,
00:01:02.360
Mocha, Bezragan has the skinny. And letters, we get your letters, we get your letters every minute
00:01:08.760
of every day. And I'll share some of your letters about the new and not so improved cans of Bud Light,
00:01:14.860
which are festooned with new age pronouns like H-I-R and X-E-M and Z-I-R. But what do these fake
00:01:24.660
woke words mean? And how do you even pronounce them? Well, it turns out that not even the folks
00:01:31.440
at Labatt Brewery, no. Unbelievable. Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.
00:01:37.920
The Public Health Agency of Canada confirmed media reports just before Christmas that it had
00:01:53.460
secretly accessed location data for 33 million mobile devices to monitor the movement of Canadians
00:02:00.540
during COVID-19. That number represents roughly 87 percent of the population who were spied on
00:02:09.320
without any knowledge that the government was accessing their data. Public Health Agency of
00:02:14.740
Canada officials were forced to admit this had occurred after a request for proposal was published
00:02:20.060
with a call for interest in continuing a program of collecting data for up to five more years.
00:02:27.140
We now know the name of the second company that helped the Public Health Agency of Canada scoop
00:02:32.120
your private location data from your cell phone and then analyze it and give it back to the government.
00:02:36.840
I can also tell you what sort of behaviors these two companies were tracking about you
00:02:44.740
You know, you may not know it, but Rebel News actually broke the story of the Public Health
00:02:49.000
Agency of Canada tracking the cell phone location data of, well, basically all the Canadians who have
00:02:54.460
a cell phone as part of their COVID behavior surveillance program. The way we discovered it
00:03:00.320
happening was coincidental and slightly mundane. We were checking out the government contracts and
00:03:05.740
procurements website the way we do almost every single day. And we saw a request for a contract for the
00:03:10.560
continuation of cell phone data collection for COVID surveillance, which spelled out to us that the
00:03:17.260
collection had already been happening, given that they were, of course, asking for a continuation.
00:03:22.560
Ultimately, the Public Health Agency of Canada was forced to admit that they were indeed tracking
00:03:28.980
Canadians without their knowledge and without their consent, like a bunch of Big Brother or
00:03:34.420
Wellian peeping Tom. The data, as said, is de-identified and aggregated. And I understand that it doesn't
00:03:41.180
mean a lot in and of itself. The level to which it is de-identified and aggregated, though, is quite
00:03:47.380
significant. So effectively, for one data line, we have a table called percentage of time at primary
00:03:53.100
location. And this basically represents the percentage of time that a cellular device will be at one place,
00:04:00.260
wherever it spends the most time is the primary location. The data set would say a date, so a single
00:04:06.300
day, would give a province, would give a health region, or potentially down to a census subdivision,
00:04:13.780
which is effectively a municipality. And then we get a percentage of time at that location. So,
00:04:20.340
for example, Manitoba in health region, you would have 91%. And we would know that for the aggregate,
00:04:27.420
and that's aggregated time for the day, it's aggregated for an unspecified number of potential
00:04:33.540
users within that health region, we would know that 91% of the time, that device stayed at its
00:04:39.860
primary location. And we would use that as a proxy for movement and adherence with public health
00:04:44.940
measures. So we wanted to know how they got this information, which cell phone company was the
00:04:50.980
co-conspirator here, the Creepshow collaborator, taking their customers' information, violating their
00:04:56.740
privacy, without their consent, and then selling it to the government for a profit, profiting off the
00:05:02.220
violation of their customers' trust. We had previously uncovered through access to information
00:05:08.200
that the Public Health Agency of Canada had paid TELUS Communications, the cell phone provider,
00:05:14.020
$200,000 to retroactively provide cell phone tracking data all the way back to January 2019.
00:05:20.380
You see, this way the federal government could use your cell phone data to show
00:05:24.360
your regular habits pre-COVID versus just how compliant you were after they forced you to stay
00:05:30.380
at home. Outrageous. And more proof in the pudding that under the Justin Trudeau liberals,
00:05:36.400
the sort of freedom we used to take for granted in this country, well, it's now endlessly under attack
00:05:42.980
by this federal government. Think about that, all you progressives out there who denounce the
00:05:48.700
freedom convoys, because this is the kind of Canada you really want, a dominion in which
00:05:54.960
Big Brother is watching you and listening to you as well, it would appear. Unbelievable.
00:06:02.060
And joining me now is the chief reporter for Rebel News, and that would be Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:06:07.080
How are you doing there, Sheila? I'm great, David. Thanks for having me on the show.
00:06:10.800
It is always a pleasure. Sheila, your report had my blood boiling, but let's cut to the chase here
00:06:17.380
when it comes to the idea of personal information being harvested in such a fashion. And it's this.
00:06:24.760
Is this even legal? Who even knows? A year ago, I would have thought that having to provide
00:06:32.320
vaccination status to a bartender before they poured you a beer, that probably would have been illegal.
00:06:39.720
A year ago, I would have said a company requiring you to submit to a COVID vaccine before you went on
00:06:50.080
the job, I would have said that was illegal. So there are a lot of things that previously we would
00:06:55.640
have thought, trusted to be illegal. In the before times, they've been completely normalized these days,
00:07:03.500
including this persistent violation of the privacy of Canadians in the name of public health.
00:07:09.720
And Sheila, why did TELUS bend the knee without putting up any sort of a fight? I mean,
00:07:16.300
we talked about this the other day. Lady Menzoid and I will share. Well, yeah, maybe it is the money.
00:07:23.740
But money aside, let's be consistent here. If I wanted to inquire about my wife's cell phone services
00:07:30.680
or internet bill, anything along those lines, Bell is going to tell me to take a hike. They're going to
00:07:36.580
say we can't even share your wife's data with you, even if you're on the same bill. So why is it that
00:07:44.100
TELUS surrendered the information of God knows how many people without what I think would have been the
00:07:50.780
righteous thing to do, the proper thing to do, which is to say to the government, no, we are not
00:07:57.360
handing this over voluntarily. You're going to have to make us. But they didn't. Why?
00:08:04.020
So I guess my my first response to your entire question would have been that if TELUS wanted to
00:08:10.900
go along with this, they should have went to the customers and given them the right of first refusal.
00:08:17.060
But there's a couple of different reasons why TELUS went along with this. First of all,
00:08:20.500
we know they were paid $200,000 for this. So there's a quick cash injection into TELUS. But
00:08:26.720
it's not just TELUS that is going along with everything Public Health Canada asked them to do.
00:08:33.600
The airlines have done it. The resource companies have done it by imposing vaccine mandates on their
00:08:40.540
staff. You know, bars have done it. Rail companies have done it. Everybody has gone along with the
00:08:47.600
Public Health Agency of Canada. Nobody has resisted even once. So why would TELUS be any different?
00:08:54.800
Well, Sheila, here's the thing. I'm certainly not a lawyer. You're not a lawyer either. We have great
00:08:59.300
lawyers that work for us. So maybe I should ask them what they think. But has TELUS and the others,
00:09:04.680
have they opened themselves up to civil litigation, maybe even a class action? Because if I'm a TELUS
00:09:11.000
customer, I'm mad as hell that you shared my information to the federal government, A, B, that you
00:09:19.400
profited from that sharing? Or is there something in the nitty gritty customer service agreement that
00:09:28.280
gives them an out that if the government comes a call in, we will abide to their demands in terms of
00:09:35.620
violating your privacy? What do you think about that? I haven't seen the contracts for the TELUS
00:09:42.040
clients. But I do think that these companies who are going along with the Public Health Agency of
00:09:48.240
Canada, they think what they're doing is righteous. They think that they are doing this all in the name
00:09:54.580
of public health. They're saving lives by violating your privacy. But, you know, the whole like saving
00:10:00.740
lives and being virtuous, that wasn't quite enough because they did get paid $200,000. And there's a
00:10:06.300
second company involved in all of this, Blue Dot. I don't know how much they were paid. I just recently
00:10:12.540
have found out that they were the second company of Lord knows how many, we're sort of picking them
00:10:18.260
off as we go, who were involved in these public health agency data scoops. And going back, we were the
00:10:24.600
ones who broke the public health agency data scoop story that the Public Health Agency of Canada had to
00:10:29.940
then admit in House of Commons committee testimony, because they weren't going to tell anybody they
00:10:37.100
were doing this. What happened was we found a contract like a request for an interested supplier
00:10:44.180
who would then help tell or help the Public Health Agency of Canada continue to collect this
00:10:51.520
information. And that's when we were tipped off that they were doing it in the first place. And then
00:10:56.280
they were forced to admit it. And now we've ripped the bandaid off. And now we're trying to uncover
00:10:59.540
who was involved, how much they were paid. This Blue Dot company, they say that they help predict
00:11:05.860
future pandemics through AI. Well, that's lovely. But I don't think you need to be violating people's
00:11:12.920
privacy to do it. And having people participate in your program unwittingly, but that's what's
00:11:19.500
happening here. And the amount of data they were collecting on cell phone users, and then turning
00:11:23.900
it over to the Public Health Agency of Canada, it included whether or not you had been anywhere
00:11:28.540
near a nursing home or a hospital. If you had left your public health region and traveled to another
00:11:34.980
one nearby, they were monitoring all sorts of things about you. And you had absolutely no clue as you
00:11:41.200
were going about your business during the day, paying your cell phone provider, by the way, for
00:11:47.180
service, and then they are getting paid by the government to violate your privacy.
00:11:51.920
That is just absolutely egregious and outrageous, Sheila. One last thing. You know, I'm not a
00:11:57.360
Telus customer, but I'm telling you, if I were, I would call the company. I would say,
00:12:04.000
was my name and number passed along to the federal government? And maybe what I would do,
00:12:09.560
I know our boss hates homemade lawyering, but in this case, maybe he'll give us an exemption,
00:12:15.000
file a small claims lawsuit. In Ontario, it's only $100. And, you know, try to get some quid pro quo,
00:12:21.900
because if you guys got 200K out of selling my private information, then maybe I'm entitled
00:12:28.520
to a portion of that. Sheila, what do you want to bet Telus would probably say to such a request?
00:12:33.840
Oh, well, we can't tell you, Mr. Menzies, because of confidentiality reasons. Last word goes to you,
00:12:40.540
Sheila. Well, I'm with Roger, so half the time I can't call anybody because my phone doesn't work.
00:12:45.040
But, but, but, but second, who's protecting the data? We just heard today or over the last couple
00:12:54.680
of days that there was a major data breach in Newfoundland and Labrador with regard to public
00:13:00.260
health records. So now they have all this additional information about you sitting with
00:13:04.940
Public Health Agency of Canada. Who's protecting the sanctity of this information? Your privacy has
00:13:11.140
already been violated once. Who's out there making sure it's not violated again? And I would love to
00:13:16.780
know. But again, I say I'm with Roger, so my phone doesn't work. Unbelievable. And to add insult to
00:13:23.360
injury, I understand the CRTC is greenlighting the cell phone providers to hit us with another
00:13:29.480
outrageous increase. I think we're probably the most ripped off cell phone customers in the world.
00:13:36.640
So I guess when you do a bad deed in this nation, you get rewarded. Absolutely astonishing. Sheila,
00:13:43.600
thank you so much. And you have a great weekend, my friend. You too, David. Thanks so much.
00:13:48.400
And there you go, folks. That was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the northern hinterland
00:13:53.680
of Alberta. Keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:13:57.780
You all have seen the picture. You all have read the headlines.
00:14:05.020
Trudeau mobbed by admirers at the Stampede. That was staged. It was at a Liberal Party event.
00:14:14.420
Stampede is an annual celebration of Western lifestyle, the biggest outdoor event on earth,
00:14:19.220
and it takes place here in Calgary, Alberta. The event attracts approximately a million visitors
00:14:24.480
and a lot of media attention. A perfect opportunity for politicians from all corners,
00:14:29.520
including Justin Trudeau, to be seen as one with the Westerners and have a piece of the media pancake.
00:14:35.600
That's what Trudeau did this past Sunday. Justin Trudeau, who forces his environmentalism onto others,
00:14:41.640
there is no plan B because there's no planet B, who implemented the ever-increasing carbon tax,
00:14:47.640
a lot of what you pay per liter is tax, and that's going up. Flew thousands of kilometers in a private jet
00:14:54.360
all the way from Toronto at the expense of the taxpayer and the environment, just for a few hours
00:15:00.420
flipping pancakes for photo op and attending his Liberal Party's fundraising event. And then he
00:15:06.140
buggered off to Montreal, where he also faced protesters. And no wonder why he didn't spend the night
00:15:14.180
in Calgary. This footage is from last month, when he did stay overnight in Calgary.
00:15:20.720
He's a coward. He's taken the back door. What would your message be if he were to show up?
00:15:26.300
He's a pharmaceutical, tyrant, prostitute. What kind of country locks their dissidents inside their
00:15:33.920
country? He doesn't serve Canada. He serves someone else. Was it worth flying thousands of kilometers
00:15:40.640
at taxpayers' expense for a staged photo op? The government-funded prostitutes made it worthwhile
00:15:46.460
for Trudeau. All the major mainstream media outlets across Canada wired this headline from the Canadian
00:15:52.060
press. Trudeau mobbed by admirers at Stampede. Dozens of angry demonstrators gathered at a Liberal
00:15:58.080
campaign stop in Bolton, Ontario. Trudeau attracts protesters no matter where he is.
00:16:03.520
It really crushes the, I'm the most lovable leader in the world narrative.
00:16:19.380
And in Alberta, where his approval ratings kiss the ground.
00:16:24.000
The safest place for Trudeau to flip pancakes for his photo op, with the minimal risk of getting
00:16:29.000
heckled, would have been at Calgary's Skyview. The only Liberal district in Calgary. And despite
00:16:49.560
To facilitate Trudeau's photo op, Liberal MP George Jahl, aka the Poach Pirate,
00:16:54.600
is caught removing a flyer of his opponent, conservative incumbent, invited his Facebook
00:16:59.560
followers to his partisan breakfast event happening at a local public library's parking lot on Sunday
00:17:05.520
morning. Trudeau shows up, Liberals cheer, pose for photos, and the media services it as Trudeau
00:17:12.520
mobbed by admirers at Calgary Stampede. He was not mobbed by admirers. That's a loaded term to describe
00:17:21.000
what actually took place. The CBC used the same term, mobbed, for Turkish President Erdogan when
00:17:27.640
he was surrounded by tens of thousands of people. Trudeau was surrounded by a dozen liberals,
00:17:32.440
if you exclude his bodyguards. Ironically, seeing such a headline all over the media makes you question
00:17:38.760
if North Korea is catching up to us in public relations, or are we catching up to North Korea?
00:17:43.960
And as radio legend Paul Harvey used to say, and now you know the rest of the story. Indeed,
00:17:51.720
the mainstream media has an odd definition of admirers, don't they? And don't tell me that the
00:17:59.240
likes of CBC and CTV and the other state-sponsored stenographers didn't know that this so-called
00:18:07.720
mobbing by alleged admirers was a completely staged affair. Oh, they knew. And don't tell me they
00:18:17.320
didn't know that Trudeau's so-called Stampede event was actually held several kilometers away from,
00:18:24.440
you know, the actual Calgary Stampede. When will this media manipulation ever end?
00:18:32.040
And joining me for more on this pathetic piece of propaganda is Mocha Bezragan from Calgary. Hey,
00:18:42.680
Mocha, how are you doing there? Very good. How are you? I'm doing great. So Mocha knocked me down
00:18:49.080
with a feather. Once again, mainstream media lied to us about something that occurred in terms of a
00:18:56.840
Justin Trudeau event. Mocha, my question to you is, why do these media outlets knowingly take
00:19:05.000
liberties with the truth? I mean, that's the very antithesis of journalism, isn't it?
00:19:12.600
Yes, it is. But I think I know the answer to your question. They are being paid about 600 million
00:19:19.640
dollars a year in government bailout money. What that means is they're getting paid by the government.
00:19:26.680
And you don't bite the hand that feeds. So they're not biting Justin Trudeau. Recently,
00:19:33.960
Justin Trudeau went to BC and he made a couple of visits to random locations. Nobody knew that he was
00:19:42.600
going to be there. It was all a photo op. And the media was coming along with him. But they were not,
00:19:50.360
they were told that they were not allowed to ask questions or they would be escorted out physically.
00:19:55.640
Now, this is very important. I heard about this BC incident, Mocha. And I understand that if members
00:20:04.840
of the media or even members of the public were to shout questions at Trudeau, they would be dealt with
00:20:11.960
by law enforcement. Now, tell me, you're originally from Turkey. This sounds like a little bit of Istanbul
00:20:19.400
has come over to Canada, wouldn't you say? Oh, yes. I mean, I've seen your video of you getting beaten
00:20:26.680
by Trudeau's bodyguards. For what? For trying to ask a question. It was it was crazy stuff to see. I couldn't
00:20:34.200
believe that it was happening in Canada. And now one of one other thing is these mainstream media journalists.
00:20:39.960
I read a piece, I think, I believe it was global news, where they didn't mention the fact that they
00:20:45.720
were told that they would be physically escorted out if they were to ask questions. I got that
00:20:50.200
information from an alternative source, a news organization, a local one. So it's really weird,
00:20:57.160
the information that they are feeding us. I mean, with this recent one, when he was in Calgary,
00:21:01.720
me and Sidney Fizar, we went down to Stampede because we saw that his plane landed, landed to Calgary
00:21:10.520
in the morning. And we went there, we searched the whole place. It's a big event. We couldn't find
00:21:16.680
him. We went to the airport to catch his plane. That's what I was about to leave at 2pm. We couldn't
00:21:23.560
find him there either. And now they are trying to disable the tracking of
00:21:31.720
Prime Minister's plane, the Canadian military is, so that we won't know when he goes to Tofino or
00:21:38.120
some other paradise during an important remembrance day or something. We would not know because that's
00:21:45.960
how journalists, that's how we track where he's going. You know, it's amazing, Mocha. I don't think
00:21:52.520
I'm exaggerating, but these seem to be the tools out of the toolbox of a dictator. The idea of limiting
00:22:01.000
who can ask him questions. You brought up my example from December, actually manhandling a
00:22:07.720
journalist on a public sidewalk. And by the way, we'll have our day in court, our first day in
00:22:12.760
September over that, folks. And then even not letting us know his whereabouts, because I think
00:22:18.280
you're right. This is somebody who just loves to bugger off to Tofino and go on a surfing safari,
00:22:24.440
even on National Reconciliation Day. You know, I go back to what you said earlier in the first
00:22:32.840
question, Mocha, the motivation of the journalists. And I think you're absolutely 100% correct. You do
00:22:39.240
not bite the hand that feeds. But again, this is unethical journalism. If a newspaper was covering,
00:22:49.960
you know, a tainted meat scandal at a slaughterhouse and the newspaper was getting payments from the
00:22:57.720
slaughterhouse, that just cannot fly. You are in an inherent conflict of interest. Why are we putting
00:23:04.920
up with this, especially since this is our money keeping these media properties afloat? Without that
00:23:11.880
money, I think they sink. But that runs contrary to the idea of capitalism. So it's really frustrating for
00:23:19.560
me. And I think millions of Canadians, Mocha, what do you say? Of course, like, why? Why do I,
00:23:26.760
from my own pocket, have to pay for huge news organizations that I don't even want to consume
00:23:35.800
from? Yeah. Like people who want to consume Rebel News, they give their money voluntarily. They give it.
00:23:43.480
But the mainstream media, they take it. They don't ask for it. They just take it. And so there's that
00:23:50.840
power. There's that, the viewer gets stripped out of their powers. It's not enough for them to
00:23:57.000
disappear. If you just stop watching them, because they are being fed by, they're not being,
00:24:03.400
they're not financially sustaining themselves through voluntary means, which is pretty unethical,
00:24:09.800
of course. And one other thing I wanted to mention, there are people who call Justin Trudeau
00:24:15.480
a dictator. And when that happens, mainstream media, the liberals, they all say, oh, you don't know what
00:24:20.600
a dictator is. Oh, stop exaggerating, blah, blah, blah. In my opinion, Justin Trudeau is a dictator.
00:24:27.640
Just look at how he enacted the Emergency Measures Act to quash a peaceful protest that was demanding
00:24:36.520
an end to COVID-19 restrictions and forced vaccinations. He wouldn't end it. He wouldn't talk with
00:24:43.800
them. He wouldn't even acknowledge their existence. He just went into hiding, got COVID twice. That's
00:24:50.520
what it took him to end the flight restrictions. He had to take, he had to be, he had to catch COVID
00:24:58.440
twice. This guy don't want, he has the power and he's going to dictate it. Nobody can stand on the
00:25:09.000
way. He is the man of the people. He is executing the will of the people, the dictator.
00:25:15.560
You know what? I think you're right, Mocha. And unfortunately, my friend, I think things are
00:25:21.320
going to get worse in the months ahead when you see the likes of Bill C-11 being mandated into law,
00:25:29.000
assuming it gets Senate approval, in which this government is going to censor the internet. And
00:25:36.440
again, I hearken back to eight years ago when Justin Trudeau, before he became prime minister,
00:25:42.920
said he had admiration in his heart for the basic dictatorship of China. Can you imagine that a
00:25:49.080
future leader of a Western world, a democracy would have admiration for China? I mean, what is making
00:25:57.240
this guy tick? Well, he's the most loyal prime minister on the stage of World Economic Forum. But when
00:26:06.680
he said that he tried to like he tried to backtrack when he was saying that he admires Chinese base,
00:26:14.440
China's basic dictatorship, because he knew it was a slip from the mind from his thought process.
00:26:20.200
And now everybody heard that. But there's no going back from that. We heard that that was
00:26:25.640
absolutely a ridiculous thing to say. But it tells a lot about who he is.
00:26:29.240
Yes. One last question, Mocha. There was a rumor that surfaced in certain media circles
00:26:37.000
earlier this week that Justin Trudeau, it's almost unbelievable to me, but he's contemplating a fall
00:26:44.760
election. It would be incredible given that. Oh, look, look how often we've had an election 2019,
00:26:53.080
2021, now 2022. And I really think this government's best before life has come and gone,
00:27:04.760
that they're only being propped up by the NDP, which to me is no longer even a credible political
00:27:10.760
party when you denounce the government on in the morning, but vote to prop them up at night.
00:27:16.360
Your credibility has gone out the window. Do you think that's actually a possibility, Mocha? Is
00:27:22.760
is maybe Justin Trudeau delusional or is he maybe such a sociopath that he wants to have a majority
00:27:31.480
mandate that being propped up by the Jagmeet Singh is not good enough for him and that he may think that
00:27:39.560
the conservatives under presumably Pierre Polyev is an easy target in the fall. Because I think to
00:27:47.960
think that he's making a serious miscalculation. Well, this might be a possibility, I think,
00:27:56.200
because look at look at him. He's flying all over the place, going to photo ops, taking pictures.
00:28:02.200
He wouldn't go to the airport because it's a mess. You never see these politicians, these liberals
00:28:07.160
taking selfies or taking pictures or making an announcement in front of the mess that they have
00:28:13.800
created. They only take pictures in like, it's all public relations to trick the public that he's
00:28:22.280
loved, he's admired, he's been mobbed by admirers and all that. Well, it's all a lie. It's just a bunch
00:28:28.040
of liberals, a dozen of them if you exclude all the security guards. But yeah, he might think that
00:28:34.680
if he doesn't do a quick snap election, and if Pierre Polyev wins the CPC leadership,
00:28:45.800
then he might have, you know, it might be a balanced environment where Pierre is holding him
00:28:54.440
accountable for the things he do and becoming a strong opposition. Maybe that's not what he wants
00:29:00.200
in the long term. So he just wants to get clean right away, go to an election, get rid of the
00:29:09.240
problem. I don't know. What do you think? Yeah, I think just because of Justin Trudeau's ego being
00:29:14.520
the way it is, maybe he has a bit of a humiliation in the fact that the fourth place party has to prop up
00:29:22.360
the once mighty liberals. And that he buys into the Kool-Aid that Pierre Polyev is some kind of
00:29:30.040
extremist air quotes, and Canadians will reject him. And I think if he's thinking that, he's in for
00:29:37.240
the proverbial October surprise. That's for sure. But I just think there might be something to that,
00:29:45.000
because as you alluded to, this jet setting around the country, going to pancake breakfasts,
00:29:50.680
and so on and so forth. It almost seems like he's in campaign mode, as opposed to taking the summer
00:29:57.160
off. And we know he loves to hang around at Tofino like a beach bum. So maybe there's something to it.
00:30:04.920
Last word goes to you, Mocha, in terms of what you observed in terms of, A, Prime Minister Trudeau's
00:30:12.120
visit to Calgary, and how the media, well, spun propaganda for him there.
00:30:18.760
For me to observe that was just weird, because all of a sudden, all the mainstream media outlets
00:30:24.840
all across the nation wired that headline from the Canadian press. In fact, Globe and Mail later
00:30:30.360
changed their headlines. So there's a little conscience there. But hundreds of outlets wired
00:30:36.600
that headline of Justin Trudeau mobbed by admirers at the Stampede. It was a dozen liberals. Come on,
00:30:44.920
guys. What are you doing? Who are you kidding? Justin Trudeau's approval ratings kissed the ground
00:30:51.640
in Alberta, in Calgary. There's only one liberal district in Calgary that he could only show his face.
00:30:58.840
So, but yeah, I would say everyone to be careful what the mainstream media puts out there.
00:31:06.440
It is unbelievable. And as we discussed earlier, Mocha, the insult to injury is you, me,
00:31:13.800
all the millions of Canadians out there, whether you're a Trudeau supporter or not, you're paying
00:31:18.440
for the media to spin these lies. Absolutely despicable. Mocha, thank you so much for that wonderful
00:31:24.440
report and getting the truth out there. It's much needed given the mainstream media narrative. So
00:31:30.200
you have a good weekend, my friend. Thank you for having me. A pleasure. And that was Mocha Bears again
00:31:37.080
in Calgary. Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:31:44.520
David Menzies for Rebel News here in London, Ontario. And I'm standing outside the wonderful Labatt
00:31:51.160
brewery here in London. And I'm here because, hey, buddy, have you seen what they've done to your
00:31:57.880
Bud Light can? It says celebrate everyone's identity. And there's all kinds of embedded words on the can.
00:32:05.960
But I don't even know what they mean. In fact, I can't even pronounce them. I mean, sure, there's the
00:32:12.120
easy ones like he, him, she, her, they, them. But what is XE? What is XEM? It sounds like a
00:32:20.680
satellite radio network. What is SIE and HIR? What is ZE? And what is ZIR? Again, I don't know what
00:32:32.200
those words mean. I looked them up in the dictionary. They weren't there. And I don't even know how to
00:32:35.560
pronounce them, which is why I'm spelling them. Now, I did reach out to the 1-800 number on the can.
00:32:42.440
And guess what? They have transitioned their call center to digital. No, that's what it says on the
00:32:48.600
recording. Here, check it out. Thanks for reaching out. To serve more beer drinkers,
00:32:53.800
we have transitioned our customer service digital. Please visit www.labatt.ca
00:33:01.240
or any one of our branded websites and we'll be happy to help. Yeah. So there's no more people
00:33:08.680
of any pronoun manning the phones. Can I say Manning? And now you send an email to them. I
00:33:15.640
did send an email and I asked them what I just said. What do these words mean? And how do you pronounce
00:33:21.240
them? And I have not heard back. It's been a couple of days. So that brings me here
00:33:27.640
to Labatt's London headquarters to see if somebody can set me straight. Can I say straight?
00:33:37.960
Reception? Yes. Hi there. My name is David Menzies and I'm with Rebel News. And I'm just hoping to
00:33:45.400
speak to a spokesperson about these Bud Light cans. It's, you know, they have words on it. I'm not even
00:33:52.040
sure how to pronounce them. X-E, X-E-M, S-I-E, H-I-R. And I was just trying to find out what these words
00:34:00.040
are, how you pronounce them, you know, who's responsible for that. Is there someone that could
00:34:04.120
speak to me? Um, I'll send someone out to the gate. All right. Can you hear me now? Don't press the button.
00:34:14.840
No, I didn't press the button, sir. Okay. Yeah. There's nobody here today that's able to talk to
00:34:19.720
you. So if we could grab some contact information from you, we'll have somebody from corporate affairs
00:34:24.840
reach out. Oh, okay. Just to let you know, I called the number on the can and it said that the call
00:34:31.240
sender has been transitioned to digital. And I did send an email to the Budweiser.com site there,
00:34:39.960
but I never heard back, but I'm just like, what is an X-E? Like what is an X-E-M?
00:34:45.240
I'm not sure. I'm not sure I could be of any help to you, but like I said before,
00:34:50.760
we could get you in contact with corporate and that's probably your best bet.
00:34:53.960
Oh, okay. So nobody at Labatt knows what these, um, I think they're pronouns.
00:34:58.280
I'm, I'm a security guard, so I'm actually not able to help with any of that, but we could probably get
00:35:03.480
corporate to reach out to you and they can talk to you regarding all that. Oh, okay then. And, uh, because I,
00:35:08.760
I, I, I mean, there's they, them, she, her, he, him. I get that. I don't know why you'd use them
00:35:14.200
both in the, you know, the context of the same sentence, but, uh, um, these other ones like X-E
00:35:20.360
and Z-I-R, S-I-E. Uh, I looked it up in the dictionary. I couldn't even find, uh, meanings for
00:35:25.720
them. Are these actually real words or are they made up words? I'm not sure what your question is,
00:35:31.080
but like I said, you can get in contact with corporate with, uh, this contact information that
00:35:35.000
you've given us and they can reach out to you, but unfortunately I can't answer any of your
00:35:38.760
questions. Well, there you have it folks. Uh, not even the people here at Labatt know what these
00:35:45.480
crazy pronouns mean or even how to pronounce them. Uh, the fellow at security said somebody from corporate
00:35:53.160
is going to get back in touch with me. I'll believe it when I hear it. In the meantime, I just wonder
00:35:59.160
what this, uh, can of Bud Light tastes like. Hmm.
00:36:08.360
No, sir. Don't like it. What's that saying? Go woke, get choked.
00:36:18.360
For Rebel News, I'm David the Menzoid Menzies. Well, there you have it. The beer meisters at Labatt
00:36:25.000
literally want to shove radical transgenderism down their customers' throats, but it's been almost
00:36:31.880
two weeks since I first reached out to Labatt regarding what these pronouns mean. And all I
00:36:37.880
receive in response is, um, yeah, we'll get right back to you. Yeah, right. Hopefully they will get
00:36:44.600
back to me, hopefully before the second coming of Christ. In any event, most of you were very
00:36:51.480
unimpressed with Labatt's latest dip into wokeism. D Gal writes, well, that's the last Labatt's product
00:37:00.760
that I will ever consume. I wonder if they're clearly delusional marketing department knows that
00:37:07.560
most beer drinkers are men. It's women that generally go for wine or the light beer or low
00:37:14.280
sugar alcohol. You know, you're right, D Gal. Uh, you can bet a beer conglomerate like Labatt has
00:37:21.080
very, very good statistics on who's drinking their beers, but they would rather insult their
00:37:28.200
customer base in the name of being progressive or woke or pro-radical transgenderism. Absolutely
00:37:35.880
amazing. Earl Greystoke writes, well done, David Menzies and Rebel News. Keep challenging gender
00:37:44.120
insanity. Indeed we shall, primarily because there is not so much material. We live in a world where
00:37:52.440
a U.S. Supreme Court judge cannot define a woman. There are those on the progressive left that refer
00:37:58.680
to women as birthing persons and breastfeeding as chest feeding. Enough is enough already.
00:38:07.160
Helium Hub Crypto Collective writes, yeah, because there are so many Canadian middle-class,
00:38:13.320
hardworking guys standing around after working a 12-hour grind on a tough day saying to themselves,
00:38:20.680
I wish I had a beer with a rainbow on it. Marketing morons. Indeed, what a way to alienate your core
00:38:28.520
market group. Again, astonishing. Sean Reed writes, Menzies is hilarious and goes full speed ahead with
00:38:36.360
the moronic left. Keep it up, kid. Well, thanks for the kind word, Sean. But in all honesty,
00:38:42.120
the loony left does tend to make things really easy for me. But then again, folks, not everyone
00:38:48.840
was impressed with the report. Lord Take writes, this is so fantastically blind to reality. Good for you
00:38:57.560
for looking so very smart, Rebel. My God, do you ever look stupid, David Menzies. Well, Lord Take,
00:39:05.880
I don't understand. I mean, you say the report is blind to reality, yet Labatt is using unreal,
00:39:13.880
made-up words for phony baloney genders or sexual orientations or whatever the case may be. Hey,
00:39:21.480
we're the ones trying to keep it real here, my friend, but not even Labatt seems to know what's
00:39:27.880
being promoted on their Bud Light cans these days. How unreal is that? And Terry Rudin writes,
00:39:37.400
Careful, Dave. Those acronyms refer to various sexual preferences, and each of those cans contains
00:39:44.600
specially brewed beer that will immediately tilt you in the direction identified on the label.
00:39:51.480
There is no antidote. Oh no, you didn't already drink one, did you? Which one? Hey, Terry, I believe I
00:40:01.080
drank the ZIR Bud Light variant. So that means I now identify as a 1971 Chevy Camaro Z28? Cool! I've always
00:40:14.840
wanted to go through life identifying as a muscle car. Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.
00:40:22.040
Thanks so much for joining us. See you next week. And hey, folks, never forget, without risk,
