Summary

The Fergus Highlanders Women's Rugby Team in Waterloo, Ontario have a biological male on their team, Ash Davis, who was voted the hardest hitter when he played for the team's men's squad just last year. The problem? He's a lesbian.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Shame on you, you sensorious bug.
00:00:20.360 Transanity continues to play out on the rugby fields of Ontario.
00:00:34.420 The latest example, on July 29th, Waterloo hosted the Fergus Highlanders women's team in a playoff game.
00:00:43.540 Fergus, of course, brought along its not-so-secret weapon.
00:00:47.760 That would be Ash Davis.
00:00:49.160 Ash is a biological male who currently identifies as a lesbian these days.
00:00:56.680 No, I'm not making this up, folks, but I wish I were.
00:01:00.040 You may have seen our recent reports regarding Ash, which have gone viral.
00:01:05.980 Ash, well, he hits hard, and real women tend to get injured from his hits.
00:01:11.640 I'd call him a sick puppy, but that would be insulting to the canine community.
00:01:16.380 Obviously, the Fergus women adore their bioweapon.
00:01:21.340 Maybe it's because they are so super woke that they actually believe that anyone can identify as anything these days.
00:01:30.800 Or maybe the Fergus gals, well, maybe they're just a bunch of cheaters who will resort to anything to get a win.
00:01:38.540 And what better way to win than by having a muscular dude on the team, a man who was voted the hardest hitter when he played for the Fergus men's squad just last year.
00:01:52.460 Regardless, check out the gals' hysterical response when we tried to ask Ash some questions when the team hosted a game against Burlington back on July 22nd.
00:02:06.460 Hey, Mr. Davis, Ash, why are you doing this?
00:02:10.920 I'm David Menzies with Rebel News.
00:02:12.340 Hi. No, you're not really a part of this.
00:02:14.840 We're having a team chat now.
00:02:16.400 Okay, I'm just trying to ask some questions, ma'am.
00:02:18.200 Sorry, but this is not the appropriate time for that.
00:02:19.620 Why are you allowing a biological male to compete against female players?
00:02:23.240 We're not going to have a conversation with you.
00:02:24.780 Okay, well, talk to Ash then.
00:02:26.860 Ash, do you take joy in injuring female rugby players?
00:02:30.060 Are you lacking the skills to play with male players where you should be?
00:02:36.600 You're a biological male, aren't you?
00:02:38.860 I got you. I got you.
00:02:39.980 Okay.
00:02:40.580 Thank you, sir.
00:02:42.560 Mr. Ash, are you a misogynist?
00:02:44.980 Thank you.
00:02:45.340 Are you coming with me?
00:02:45.880 No, please leave me.
00:02:48.600 Hey, watch it.
00:02:50.240 You'll be charged with assault.
00:02:51.120 Get a child.
00:02:52.020 Would you mind leaving?
00:02:55.100 Mr. Ash, the governing body for rugby, world rugby,
00:03:00.060 says men should not compete.
00:03:02.400 Trans lives matter.
00:03:03.600 Wow, really?
00:03:04.380 All lives matter.
00:03:06.600 All lives matter.
00:03:08.760 All lives matter.
00:03:10.640 Human rights matter.
00:03:12.640 You don't have a problem?
00:03:14.300 You can leave now.
00:03:14.940 Thank you, sir.
00:03:15.980 Thank you.
00:03:16.600 This is a human rights issue.
00:03:18.760 We live in Canada.
00:03:21.140 All rights, human rights for everybody.
00:03:24.020 Trans rights matter.
00:03:24.980 What about the...
00:03:25.980 Trans rights matter.
00:03:27.520 That you are traumatizing my family.
00:03:30.860 I'm traumatizing them?
00:03:32.280 What?
00:03:32.500 What happened?
00:03:32.940 Because my kids get to see people like you crying because of things.
00:03:38.860 I'm surprised.
00:03:39.720 We don't need you in our business.
00:03:40.320 As a mother, why would you expose your kids to a massage?
00:03:43.060 Because that is my partner.
00:03:45.220 That is my wife that you are being an asshole.
00:03:48.480 Sorry, he's a lesbian?
00:03:49.900 So I'm going to first ask you guys to ask you, please.
00:03:52.680 Do you think it's okay for him to injure a biological woman?
00:03:58.060 So I'm not going to answer any of your questions.
00:04:00.820 And have a nice day.
00:04:02.400 Wow.
00:04:03.260 Where's Billie Jean King when you really need her?
00:04:06.460 We followed up that report by covering a game the following Saturday in Waterloo.
00:04:12.160 Hey, we know where the Fergus players stand on this issue.
00:04:16.340 They made that abundantly clear.
00:04:18.280 But this time, we really, really wanted to interview members of the opposing squad.
00:04:24.820 How did these women feel about going up against this bruiser?
00:04:30.140 Well, check it out.
00:04:32.180 And the video evidence, I will say, is equal parts surprising and disturbing.
00:04:38.400 I don't know much either.
00:04:39.720 I don't know much either.
00:04:41.220 It's a weird world, isn't it, sir?
00:04:42.840 It's a sticky situation.
00:04:44.620 Have a good weekend.
00:04:48.280 It's technically harassment of the Ontario penal code.
00:04:51.900 Oh, you don't...
00:04:52.780 I don't know.
00:04:53.560 Really?
00:04:54.540 Is that right?
00:04:55.400 You should look it up.
00:04:56.380 Are you a lawyer?
00:04:58.540 Where are your men?
00:04:59.620 I'm considerably more educated than you.
00:05:02.140 Where are your men?
00:05:03.280 I don't understand.
00:05:08.180 What's the issue?
00:05:09.080 You're unable to get women?
00:05:11.340 No.
00:05:12.060 Actually, it's the other way around.
00:05:13.580 That woman's team has a man on it.
00:05:16.260 He's been injuring biological women.
00:05:18.280 And you, as the opposition, you have no problem with a cheater?
00:05:22.600 No?
00:05:22.940 No, we just like playing rugby.
00:05:24.820 I love the sport.
00:05:26.700 Have you played?
00:05:28.000 Not for a long time, ma'am.
00:05:29.560 Okay.
00:05:30.280 But you know what?
00:05:30.900 Back then, and even today, the world rugby governing body says males are not allowed to play with females.
00:05:38.100 So why is this being tolerated, ma'am?
00:05:39.820 Because they're not a male.
00:05:42.700 They, they.
00:05:44.140 Oh, it's a they.
00:05:45.860 I thought it was a singular person.
00:05:47.600 Or maybe they've added another man to the team.
00:05:49.260 Again, it's all so confusing.
00:05:50.460 So there we have it, folks.
00:05:52.200 Many voiced their support for Ash, while others just took the silent treatment.
00:05:58.640 But why would that be?
00:06:00.720 If a Waterloo lass felt the presence of this guy was detrimental, why not state this fact, as opposed to saying nothing?
00:06:10.440 Well, folks, I have found the answer to this very perplexing riddle.
00:06:16.800 Thanks to a source who shall remain nameless, I was passed along a notification that was sent out by Josh Windsor to the Waterloo players.
00:06:29.240 Windsor is the president of the Waterloo County Rugby Club.
00:06:33.440 Prior to the game against Fergus, he sent out a statement that had nothing to do with condemning the Fergus squad for cheating.
00:06:42.860 After all, World Rugby, the sports international governing body, notes that trans women cannot play with real women.
00:06:51.660 No, Windsor's message to the Waterloo women was a stern warning that they must be supportive of Mr. Davis under penalty of law.
00:07:03.440 And again, I'm not kidding, folks.
00:07:05.820 Windsor begins his statement with the due rigueur claptrap about the Waterloo County Rugby Club being an inclusive organization.
00:07:14.200 And that the club has a moral responsibility to be supportive of any person, even a male who routinely injures female players.
00:07:23.300 And it's a matter of human rights, you know.
00:07:26.220 And then there's Rugby Canada's trans inclusion policy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:31.960 That was Windsor's preamble.
00:07:34.440 Now I will directly quote his two-pronged threat, yes, threat to those female players.
00:07:41.920 Quote, any act or behavior that is deemed to be discriminatory and in contravention to these laws and policies may result in immediate expulsion from the Waterloo County Rugby Club.
00:07:57.380 Any act or behavior that is deemed to be motivated by hate will be reported to the police, end quote.
00:08:07.660 Unbelievable.
00:08:08.540 Although Windsor doesn't mention if he plans to call the Waterloo Regional Police Service or the Thought Police.
00:08:18.560 But can you imagine a biological female player saying out loud, you know, I really don't think women should be playing with men.
00:08:29.380 Well, in the eyes of Windsor, that's an example of hate speech and a potential criminal offense.
00:08:37.820 So much so that a criminal arrest looms.
00:08:42.400 Now, I reached out to Windsor by email with seven questions.
00:08:46.680 Here goes.
00:08:47.380 One, it would appear you are going to bat for Mr. Davis, yet is this not a public safety issue, especially given that Mr. Davis is a biological male who is routinely injuring biological females?
00:09:03.800 Why does his feelings trump the safety of real women?
00:09:09.160 Two, what sort of act or behavior would you deem to be discriminatory?
00:09:14.900 Three, what sort of act or behavior would be considered motivated by hate?
00:09:23.040 Four, would you really call the police on a biological woman who expresses concern about her personal safety on the field?
00:09:32.500 Five, sports should be all about a level playing field.
00:09:36.540 This is why, with certain exceptions, auto racing, equestrian, sport shooting, males and females compete in separate divisions.
00:09:45.100 If we allow males to compete with females, what is the point in having separate divisions in the first place?
00:09:53.880 Six, to accommodate people such as Ash Davis, why not establish an open or other division in which transgender or non-binary athletes can compete?
00:10:05.660 And finally, seven, at the end of the day, the inclusion of Mr. Davis on a women's team runs contrary to world rugby guidelines.
00:10:16.720 Why are rugby clubs in Ontario not adhering to rules and regulations of the international governing body?
00:10:25.860 Now, folks, at the time of recording, Windsor had yet to reply, and I doubt he ever will reply.
00:10:32.500 Windsor is a bully, you see, and bullies are cowards who run away from those who stand up to them.
00:10:40.560 And what is the crime exactly?
00:10:44.600 This censorious thug is actually threatening female players with arrests for supporting the policy of world rugby?
00:10:53.780 Really? It's surreal. It's crazy.
00:10:57.260 But Windsor is not just a woke wimp beholden to political correctness.
00:11:02.660 By threatening biological women with criminal charges, and by allowing Ash Davis to carry out his reign of terror against real women on the rugby field,
00:11:14.640 Josh Windsor is, at the end of the day, a misogynist.
00:11:19.240 Indeed, he's the real hater here.
00:11:23.460 And like Ash, he hates real women.
00:11:27.760 And I ask again, just where in blue hell are the feminists?
00:11:34.360 Why aren't they picketing the games Ash Davis is competing in,
00:11:39.480 or at the very least, speaking out against this grotesque thug?
00:11:44.420 Or maybe modern-day feminists also subscribe to the ludicrous mantra of trans women are real women,
00:11:54.760 regardless of the collateral damage.
00:11:58.540 Imagine that.
00:12:00.280 Women hating other women.
00:12:03.440 All in the pursuit of equity, inclusion, diversity,
00:12:08.340 and, of course, furthering the radical transgender agenda.
00:12:15.080 It's downright sickening, wouldn't you say?
00:12:18.380 And what a shame that the safety of biological women is being thrown under the bus,
00:12:26.980 all in the name of progressiveness.
00:12:29.800 David Menzies for Rebel News here in Windsor, Ontario.
00:12:42.420 And you know what, folks?
00:12:44.140 COVID is in the rearview mirror,
00:12:46.680 but there are elements of COVID that are still around,
00:12:51.500 even now in 2023,
00:12:54.020 specifically the war against the church,
00:12:57.240 the war against Christians.
00:12:58.720 We saw so many examples of that during the dark years of COVID.
00:13:04.480 And here in Windsor, Ontario, it is continuing,
00:13:07.800 and it is absolutely inexplicable.
00:13:10.280 I am with Pastor Alan Armstrong,
00:13:13.880 and a week ago,
00:13:16.160 he was preaching here in Forest Glade Optimus Park,
00:13:21.700 and then suddenly someone took exception to that.
00:13:26.880 And what happened, Pastor Armstrong?
00:13:29.320 Well, I'm preaching as I do every Sunday,
00:13:31.940 and we've been meeting at this park for three years now,
00:13:35.020 every summer and fall.
00:13:36.960 It's nice out here,
00:13:38.240 and we've had great relationships with the community members,
00:13:40.880 and so we thought,
00:13:41.540 why not do it again?
00:13:43.040 On this particular Sunday,
00:13:44.540 I was maybe 10 minutes into my sermon
00:13:46.720 when I seen the cavalry show up.
00:13:50.280 And when I say cavalry,
00:13:51.480 I'm talking about upwards of,
00:13:53.420 by the end of the encounter,
00:13:55.620 upwards of six police cruisers.
00:13:58.300 I think at first I saw two,
00:13:59.860 and then three,
00:14:00.560 and I'm thinking,
00:14:00.960 do I stop preaching?
00:14:03.220 What do I do?
00:14:03.860 And the people there said,
00:14:04.620 no, keep going, keep going.
00:14:05.620 So I kept preaching,
00:14:06.420 and then a few...
00:14:07.300 And if I may ask Pastor Armstrong,
00:14:09.560 what exactly was the crime
00:14:11.500 that brought around six Windsor Police SUVs?
00:14:17.260 I don't know.
00:14:18.380 I've tried to get an answer to that question all week,
00:14:21.420 and nobody seems to know.
00:14:23.600 What they keep telling me is,
00:14:25.080 you trespassed.
00:14:26.900 I trespassed on the property,
00:14:29.120 and therefore, I'm not welcome,
00:14:31.840 and the city doesn't want me there.
00:14:34.580 That's staggering.
00:14:35.580 And by the way, folks,
00:14:36.360 just in case you think
00:14:37.840 Pastor Armstrong is exaggerating,
00:14:39.780 the camera doesn't lie,
00:14:41.200 check out this video.
00:14:42.640 And in Revelation 8,
00:14:43.820 it was a picture of incense,
00:14:45.960 prayers, and fire from the altar.
00:14:49.040 How can I help you?
00:14:50.500 Why not?
00:14:51.240 Because it's the park's fault.
00:14:54.120 You guys are not allowed to be here.
00:14:54.980 You can't come here without a turn.
00:14:56.160 That's not true.
00:14:57.000 Yep, that's true.
00:14:57.680 No, it's not.
00:14:58.180 I'm going to show you the bylaw.
00:15:01.060 Yep, and the park's fault,
00:15:02.320 and they said you're not allowed to be here.
00:15:03.340 For what reason?
00:15:03.840 What crime am I committing?
00:15:04.740 Well, you need a permit to be out here.
00:15:07.380 Okay, so what law am I breaking here?
00:15:08.960 The amplification?
00:15:10.460 Okay.
00:15:10.760 So, is it the amplification?
00:15:12.600 No, it's the fact that you're right next to a park,
00:15:14.640 and you haven't rented city property.
00:15:17.300 Yeah, but I'm gathering with my friends.
00:15:18.880 No, but that's not a gathering.
00:15:19.900 You've got a stage set up.
00:15:21.300 This is...
00:15:21.900 Yeah, you can't have a microphone.
00:15:22.920 Okay, so I turn to my dog.
00:15:24.320 Are you going to let me finish?
00:15:25.160 No, because you're violating my law.
00:15:27.300 Okay, then we'll start removing everybody.
00:15:28.700 No, no, no.
00:15:29.620 Be reasonable.
00:15:30.260 Do you want to talk to me, and I'll talk to you?
00:15:31.780 Okay, talk.
00:15:32.620 Okay.
00:15:32.940 Be reasonable.
00:15:33.220 This is a city property.
00:15:34.280 You have to rent this to be out here.
00:15:35.920 This is not rentable space,
00:15:37.100 because it is right next to the park.
00:15:38.540 Okay.
00:15:38.820 That is why.
00:15:39.300 You can't be on a microphone.
00:15:40.500 Okay.
00:15:40.720 You can't be on, like, in this area.
00:15:42.120 Okay, now let me...
00:15:43.240 Can I talk?
00:15:43.900 Go ahead.
00:15:44.220 Am I allowed?
00:15:45.320 Listen, I take the sign down.
00:15:47.260 I take the speaker.
00:15:48.220 Am I still allowed?
00:15:49.140 No, because this is renting city property
00:15:50.640 for the purpose that you're...
00:15:52.220 We're not...
00:15:53.080 We called Windsor Police on Friday,
00:15:54.680 and they said,
00:15:55.340 It's a city property.
00:15:56.260 This is city property.
00:15:57.600 Listen to me.
00:15:58.600 I called you guys Friday.
00:16:01.560 I said,
00:16:01.840 Can I gather in the park
00:16:02.940 with, like, ten of my friends
00:16:04.000 to worship God?
00:16:05.120 He said,
00:16:05.580 Absolutely, you can.
00:16:07.020 Not on a microphone, though.
00:16:08.040 Okay, I'll turn it off.
00:16:09.540 I'll turn it off.
00:16:10.080 You guys have already been told
00:16:10.880 you're not allowed to do this here.
00:16:11.700 Yes, but I'm not breaking the law.
00:16:13.380 And if I am breaking the law
00:16:14.380 with the mic,
00:16:14.940 I'll turn it off.
00:16:15.840 You've already been told
00:16:16.460 you're not allowed to do this,
00:16:17.320 but you came back and did it again.
00:16:18.960 Because you guys didn't come,
00:16:20.240 and then I called you,
00:16:21.040 and you told me I could.
00:16:22.220 Okay, well, you're not allowed to.
00:16:23.240 We didn't tell you you could.
00:16:24.160 The police...
00:16:24.560 Yes, I called you guys.
00:16:25.980 Talk to your friends about God
00:16:27.220 and steal your boots.
00:16:27.980 Okay, I'm going to turn my mic off.
00:16:29.980 I'm going to turn it off.
00:16:30.760 You've got to take it down.
00:16:31.840 I'm going to turn...
00:16:32.560 Listen to me.
00:16:33.580 Listen.
00:16:34.440 I'm going to turn it off,
00:16:35.640 and I'm going to take the sign down.
00:16:38.220 Then I'm going to talk
00:16:39.080 to my friends about God.
00:16:40.400 You understand?
00:16:41.360 You can sit together.
00:16:42.080 I don't know.
00:16:42.400 They might want you guys
00:16:42.980 out of here now.
00:16:43.440 What am I doing
00:16:44.280 if I turn the mic off?
00:16:45.120 You've gone against the bylaws.
00:16:46.200 What bylaw?
00:16:47.280 Okay, I'm repenting.
00:16:48.560 I'm turning it off.
00:16:49.420 So now it's going to be
00:16:50.440 considered a trip pass
00:16:51.240 because you've already been warned.
00:16:52.500 So they want you off
00:16:53.460 the property now.
00:16:54.780 What law am I breaking?
00:16:56.040 They're trespassing you.
00:16:57.040 Yeah.
00:16:57.640 But the bylaw says...
00:16:58.640 Answer my question.
00:17:00.140 And I'll give you my...
00:17:00.820 I'll give you my idea,
00:17:01.460 but answer my question.
00:17:02.160 If I come back
00:17:03.740 with none of this
00:17:04.940 in one hour
00:17:06.060 and sit with my friends,
00:17:07.320 am I going to get kicked out?
00:17:08.960 Wait, you want to sit
00:17:09.540 on a park bench?
00:17:10.460 If I come here
00:17:11.320 with our lawn chairs
00:17:12.180 and we sit here
00:17:12.900 with no amplification
00:17:13.840 and I talk about God,
00:17:15.480 will I get kicked out?
00:17:17.480 You don't know.
00:17:18.600 Unbelievable.
00:17:19.540 Normally, yes,
00:17:20.440 you'd be allowed to do that.
00:17:21.200 That's no problem.
00:17:21.780 Okay.
00:17:22.260 But we talked to the city of Windsor
00:17:23.500 and because you've been warned
00:17:24.260 about this so many times,
00:17:25.500 they don't want you to hear
00:17:26.280 at all anymore.
00:17:27.920 Wow.
00:17:29.000 Wow.
00:17:30.860 Come on, man.
00:17:31.920 Can you see where...
00:17:32.640 Oh, there's another one now.
00:17:34.240 Big threat, guys.
00:17:37.700 Look at...
00:17:38.780 Look at this.
00:17:43.840 Four cop cars
00:17:45.180 to break up a religious...
00:17:48.180 No, five cop cars
00:17:49.380 to break up
00:17:50.400 a religious gathering.
00:17:53.500 You know what crime
00:17:54.420 I'm actually breaking?
00:17:55.560 I'm actually illegally
00:17:56.560 parked right now.
00:17:58.040 But they don't...
00:17:58.860 But that's not
00:17:59.560 what they got me on.
00:18:00.340 They got me on
00:18:00.900 in the gathering
00:18:01.380 for worship.
00:18:03.400 Welcome to Canada, folks.
00:18:07.680 Okay.
00:18:08.260 So you have to rent
00:18:09.080 the city property
00:18:09.660 to do anything like this, okay?
00:18:11.200 Like what?
00:18:12.180 No, just let her finish
00:18:13.480 your sentence.
00:18:13.760 Any sort of group meeting...
00:18:15.440 Like, if somebody comes here
00:18:16.320 for a giant picnic
00:18:16.860 with their family,
00:18:17.420 they have to rent the spot.
00:18:18.640 But this is not rentable space.
00:18:20.040 It's next to a park.
00:18:21.000 The buy law says
00:18:21.900 25 or less...
00:18:23.040 25 or more.
00:18:24.180 The city says
00:18:24.840 you are not allowed to...
00:18:25.540 But the buy law says
00:18:26.900 you need to...
00:18:27.480 If you have 25 or more,
00:18:28.620 you need a permit.
00:18:29.180 They've already told you
00:18:29.720 you can't come back here
00:18:30.580 and you did.
00:18:31.400 So you did.
00:18:31.920 Now it's a trespass,
00:18:32.840 which is why we're here.
00:18:34.200 You guys didn't come up...
00:18:35.080 You didn't show up last week.
00:18:36.440 You've already...
00:18:36.980 You've been told that...
00:18:37.860 They've already told you.
00:18:38.180 Okay, but Parks and Rec
00:18:38.980 is not police.
00:18:39.740 I asked them to call the police.
00:18:41.660 They can tell you not to be here.
00:18:42.940 They can arrest me?
00:18:43.700 They can tell you not to...
00:18:44.260 Did they arrest you?
00:18:45.000 No, but I'm asking you.
00:18:46.240 I'm asking you.
00:18:46.860 They didn't call...
00:18:47.620 The police didn't come last week.
00:18:49.000 They can tell you to leave.
00:18:49.600 Well, there you have it.
00:18:56.820 I think that's like
00:18:58.160 using a bazooka
00:18:59.440 to kill a fly.
00:19:00.900 But you're in the park,
00:19:02.640 Pastor Armstrong.
00:19:03.460 You're preaching the gospel.
00:19:05.320 I take it
00:19:05.880 you're not harassing anyone.
00:19:07.840 You're not infringing
00:19:09.080 on anyone else's
00:19:10.180 enjoyment of the park.
00:19:12.060 So, I'm sure
00:19:13.660 the Windsor police
00:19:15.140 responded to a formal complaint.
00:19:18.640 Who do you think
00:19:19.340 complained about you
00:19:20.280 in the first place?
00:19:21.640 Well, somebody complained.
00:19:22.780 Somebody who was there
00:19:23.760 maybe even for a few weeks
00:19:26.260 scoping us out.
00:19:27.900 And if they're watching...
00:19:29.300 This is what I have to say to you.
00:19:31.160 If you would have come to me
00:19:32.400 and said, you know,
00:19:33.060 could you please turn that down?
00:19:34.720 I would have done it.
00:19:35.840 This is the loudspeaker?
00:19:37.280 Yes.
00:19:37.720 Okay.
00:19:37.960 Because we had...
00:19:39.160 Now, they're calling it
00:19:40.060 a loudspeaker,
00:19:40.640 but it wasn't loud at all.
00:19:43.000 As a matter of fact,
00:19:43.920 we've had community members
00:19:45.100 come closer
00:19:46.080 so they can hear.
00:19:48.420 And then they, you know,
00:19:50.140 they either stay
00:19:51.060 or they leave.
00:19:52.020 But that's been the testimony
00:19:53.280 of the community
00:19:54.240 is when they want to hear,
00:19:55.680 they have to come closer
00:19:56.320 because the speaker
00:19:57.500 is directional.
00:19:58.660 Okay.
00:19:59.080 So, you have to actually
00:19:59.900 be in the line
00:20:00.640 of the thing.
00:20:02.180 So, yeah,
00:20:03.600 somebody complained
00:20:04.600 and it must have been
00:20:05.480 a hard complaint
00:20:06.500 because every encounter...
00:20:08.740 Well, this encounter
00:20:09.560 with the cops
00:20:10.340 was, like,
00:20:11.960 they just came out swinging.
00:20:13.380 There was no rationality.
00:20:15.060 They didn't come and say,
00:20:15.740 excuse me, sir,
00:20:16.360 I'd like to have a conversation
00:20:17.340 with you,
00:20:17.800 hear your side of the story.
00:20:18.960 It was like,
00:20:19.580 hey, you gotta go.
00:20:21.500 Regardless,
00:20:22.220 you made a goodwill gesture
00:20:23.960 of saying,
00:20:24.880 okay,
00:20:25.200 I'll unplug
00:20:25.880 the loudspeaker
00:20:27.360 and they weren't interested
00:20:29.940 in that,
00:20:30.440 were they?
00:20:31.280 No.
00:20:32.300 I actually led with that.
00:20:34.200 I asked them,
00:20:35.340 is it the amplification?
00:20:36.860 Is that the problem here?
00:20:37.700 Because if that's the problem,
00:20:38.660 I'll just take it down.
00:20:39.880 I won't even turn it down.
00:20:41.220 I'll take it down.
00:20:42.080 I'll turn it off
00:20:42.820 if that's the problem.
00:20:44.940 And then they said,
00:20:45.840 no, no,
00:20:46.220 look,
00:20:46.460 you have a stage.
00:20:47.440 Now, that's a lie.
00:20:48.300 We did not have a stage.
00:20:49.740 We had a sign
00:20:51.020 that said,
00:20:52.320 that had a very
00:20:53.260 scandalous word on it,
00:20:54.920 Jesus.
00:20:55.920 That's all.
00:20:56.420 That's all it says
00:20:57.020 is just Jesus.
00:20:58.140 And that was tied
00:20:59.500 to a tree
00:21:00.200 so that it wouldn't
00:21:00.800 blow away.
00:21:01.240 I said,
00:21:01.780 okay,
00:21:01.960 if that's an offense,
00:21:04.020 I'll even take that down.
00:21:06.100 Okay.
00:21:06.820 And I got them
00:21:07.720 to the point
00:21:08.180 where I said,
00:21:08.660 okay,
00:21:08.920 okay,
00:21:09.860 what if
00:21:10.480 I take everything down?
00:21:13.000 We had a sign,
00:21:14.080 a table,
00:21:14.980 and some,
00:21:16.560 and a cooler
00:21:17.520 for juice and wine
00:21:19.660 for communion.
00:21:20.440 I said,
00:21:20.860 what if I take
00:21:21.480 everything down
00:21:22.800 and we sit
00:21:24.160 in our lawn chairs,
00:21:25.220 10 of us,
00:21:25.760 and I talked
00:21:26.520 to my friends
00:21:27.060 about God.
00:21:27.720 They said,
00:21:28.080 nope,
00:21:28.280 you got to leave.
00:21:29.680 Unbelievable.
00:21:30.400 And just to be
00:21:31.180 absolutely clear,
00:21:32.540 Pastor Armstrong,
00:21:33.060 at no point
00:21:34.980 in your sermon
00:21:35.740 were you saying
00:21:37.260 hateful things,
00:21:38.380 were you condemning
00:21:39.720 people or certain
00:21:41.280 groups of people,
00:21:42.260 were you advocating
00:21:43.020 harm?
00:21:43.920 That was not part
00:21:44.900 of your sermon.
00:21:46.260 Am I correct?
00:21:47.360 Yeah,
00:21:47.600 I was not preaching
00:21:48.800 that anyone should
00:21:50.920 go harm.
00:21:51.280 I never preach that.
00:21:52.260 The Bible doesn't
00:21:52.900 preach that.
00:21:53.840 I was just simply
00:21:54.560 preaching what the
00:21:55.300 Bible says.
00:21:56.060 That's all.
00:21:56.660 I preach through
00:21:57.520 books of the Bible
00:21:58.400 and that's it.
00:22:00.360 And so the Bible
00:22:01.480 is a book
00:22:02.460 in this country
00:22:03.160 which apparently
00:22:04.040 is legal.
00:22:05.240 Okay,
00:22:05.640 it's not banned
00:22:06.500 like in China
00:22:07.480 or North Korea,
00:22:08.440 for example.
00:22:08.980 It's not banned.
00:22:09.760 You can go to the
00:22:10.300 bookstore and buy
00:22:11.400 a Bible and read it.
00:22:13.340 And so that's
00:22:14.120 what I was doing.
00:22:14.660 I was reading it
00:22:15.320 and explaining it.
00:22:16.420 That's it.
00:22:17.420 You know,
00:22:18.140 Pastor Armstrong,
00:22:18.840 is there something,
00:22:20.000 is there a bigger
00:22:20.580 picture afoot here
00:22:21.560 in the preamble
00:22:22.300 I mentioned
00:22:23.000 how the government,
00:22:25.220 law enforcement,
00:22:26.320 public health
00:22:26.920 bureaucracies
00:22:27.800 were coming down
00:22:30.400 hard on Christian
00:22:32.540 churches.
00:22:33.300 Less than two hours
00:22:34.300 away is Elmer,
00:22:35.260 the Church of God.
00:22:36.580 They were doing
00:22:37.240 everything to work
00:22:38.680 within the rules,
00:22:39.780 including having
00:22:40.920 a radio sermon
00:22:42.520 that the congregants
00:22:44.240 could listen to
00:22:45.140 in their cars
00:22:46.280 with the windows
00:22:46.980 rolled up.
00:22:47.860 That was offside.
00:22:49.080 300 meters away,
00:22:50.280 there's a no-frill store.
00:22:51.800 They're packing them
00:22:52.620 in like sardines.
00:22:54.480 Is there something
00:22:55.640 more sinister
00:22:56.640 going on
00:22:58.360 that maybe
00:22:59.420 is not public,
00:23:00.800 that there's some
00:23:01.520 kind of unspoken
00:23:02.660 strategy
00:23:04.180 amongst the authorities
00:23:06.360 when it comes to
00:23:07.540 what I would call
00:23:08.480 this war on Christianity?
00:23:10.780 Well, certainly
00:23:11.220 from a spiritual
00:23:12.000 perspective,
00:23:12.980 there is
00:23:13.840 a spiritual war
00:23:15.480 happening where
00:23:16.340 the devil doesn't
00:23:18.780 like Christ
00:23:19.920 or his people.
00:23:21.160 But if you're
00:23:21.880 going to talk
00:23:22.280 about this
00:23:22.660 from an earthly
00:23:23.300 perspective,
00:23:23.880 is there some
00:23:24.440 kind of conspiracy?
00:23:25.680 I don't know.
00:23:26.600 It seems that way
00:23:27.840 because no one's
00:23:29.760 going to other
00:23:30.280 places of worship
00:23:31.100 and trying to
00:23:31.860 shut them down.
00:23:32.700 No one is picking
00:23:33.740 on any other
00:23:34.540 faith group.
00:23:38.200 And so it just
00:23:38.840 seems a little bit
00:23:39.720 suspicious because,
00:23:41.760 I mean,
00:23:42.260 I did not expect
00:23:44.060 this.
00:23:45.160 I thought maybe
00:23:46.400 if it's going to
00:23:47.660 happen,
00:23:48.160 it would have
00:23:48.500 happened during
00:23:49.060 COVID times.
00:23:50.040 Because we met
00:23:50.940 right here
00:23:51.420 when it actually
00:23:53.340 was illegal,
00:23:55.120 okay,
00:23:55.780 which,
00:23:56.080 you know,
00:23:56.280 illegal in quotes.
00:23:57.880 And the police
00:23:59.000 would actually
00:23:59.560 drive by
00:24:00.620 and watch us
00:24:01.700 and keep going.
00:24:03.500 So I...
00:24:04.120 Good for them
00:24:04.560 for doing that.
00:24:05.380 So why did they
00:24:06.280 change their behavior
00:24:07.060 this time?
00:24:08.000 Well,
00:24:08.360 this is the mystery
00:24:09.360 of the ages right now
00:24:10.620 is I'm trying to
00:24:11.420 figure it out.
00:24:11.900 There was a complaint.
00:24:12.920 Somebody was
00:24:13.420 slandering and lying
00:24:14.300 about us.
00:24:15.380 And then they
00:24:16.380 came in swinging.
00:24:17.880 And the sad
00:24:19.280 part about this
00:24:19.920 is if they would
00:24:20.560 have just been
00:24:21.740 reasonable,
00:24:22.960 we could have
00:24:23.400 worked this out.
00:24:24.420 This could have
00:24:24.860 been a very
00:24:25.280 simple situation
00:24:26.460 where we just
00:24:28.080 say, okay,
00:24:28.420 you take the speaker
00:24:29.080 down,
00:24:29.400 you take the sign
00:24:29.980 down,
00:24:30.720 and then go to
00:24:31.360 the parks and rec
00:24:32.200 and say, okay,
00:24:32.660 he's complying now,
00:24:33.540 have a nice day.
00:24:34.120 And that would have
00:24:34.520 been it.
00:24:34.780 It's unbelievable.
00:24:37.520 And Pastor Armstrong,
00:24:38.660 we should point out
00:24:39.440 to our audience,
00:24:40.560 we're not even on
00:24:42.000 the parkland.
00:24:43.120 We're on the
00:24:43.980 municipal property
00:24:45.020 next to the sidewalk.
00:24:47.040 If we went any
00:24:47.620 further,
00:24:47.980 we'd be in a live
00:24:48.820 lane of traffic.
00:24:49.920 And there's a reason
00:24:50.740 for that because
00:24:51.560 apparently you are
00:24:52.940 banned indefinitely
00:24:54.440 from coming back
00:24:55.500 to this park,
00:24:56.440 whether you have
00:24:57.800 a loudspeaker or not.
00:24:59.260 What's the deal
00:25:00.060 with that?
00:25:01.040 Again,
00:25:01.580 another mystery.
00:25:03.440 I...
00:25:04.320 The police were
00:25:05.180 very unclear with me.
00:25:07.260 They were saying,
00:25:08.080 at first they were
00:25:08.700 saying,
00:25:08.980 you can come back
00:25:09.940 with your kids,
00:25:10.620 then they were
00:25:11.040 saying you can't.
00:25:12.540 And so I was
00:25:13.460 a little bit confused.
00:25:14.720 And so I called
00:25:15.820 them this week
00:25:17.740 and I said,
00:25:18.240 okay,
00:25:18.440 just can you be
00:25:19.400 clear, please?
00:25:20.720 Can I come to
00:25:21.900 this park
00:25:22.620 and push my kids
00:25:24.320 on the swings?
00:25:25.700 Okay.
00:25:26.580 And the officer said,
00:25:27.520 what did the sergeant
00:25:28.500 tell you?
00:25:28.900 What was the last
00:25:29.700 thing she told you?
00:25:30.920 The last thing
00:25:31.680 she told me was
00:25:32.420 you have been
00:25:33.320 trespassed.
00:25:34.320 And he said,
00:25:35.220 that means
00:25:35.860 you're not allowed
00:25:36.760 back on the premises.
00:25:38.100 And I said,
00:25:38.880 for how long?
00:25:39.580 He said,
00:25:40.260 forever.
00:25:41.960 Forever?
00:25:43.060 That's what he said.
00:25:44.560 I had this conversation
00:25:45.580 recorded.
00:25:46.260 He literally said that.
00:25:47.360 It's outrageous.
00:25:48.380 I'm looking around
00:25:48.960 this park.
00:25:49.580 I see baseball diamonds,
00:25:51.300 a playground,
00:25:52.160 tennis courts,
00:25:52.820 and you can't have
00:25:54.000 your children here
00:25:55.260 if you're accompanying
00:25:56.120 them until,
00:25:57.980 I guess,
00:25:58.600 the end of time.
00:25:59.440 It is absolutely
00:26:01.380 outrageous
00:26:02.140 and such an overkill.
00:26:04.200 And yet,
00:26:04.560 I can't help
00:26:05.340 but notice,
00:26:06.980 I really like
00:26:08.700 Windsor,
00:26:09.360 but when I drive
00:26:10.080 around,
00:26:10.480 unfortunately,
00:26:11.280 I see
00:26:11.960 public property,
00:26:14.020 parkland,
00:26:15.120 taken over
00:26:16.240 by homeless people.
00:26:17.780 Many of them,
00:26:18.380 unfortunately,
00:26:18.900 are drug addicts.
00:26:20.960 But at the end
00:26:21.880 of the day,
00:26:22.600 they're breaking,
00:26:23.400 I would estimate,
00:26:24.080 a dozen sections
00:26:26.220 of the Trespass Act.
00:26:28.000 Law enforcement
00:26:28.640 turns a blind eye
00:26:29.560 to that,
00:26:30.000 but for you,
00:26:30.860 just coming here
00:26:31.540 for a couple of hours
00:26:32.400 and preaching the gospel,
00:26:34.360 that's a sin.
00:26:36.040 That is a crime
00:26:37.020 where you are
00:26:37.820 banned for life.
00:26:39.160 Again,
00:26:39.920 can you square
00:26:40.580 that circle for me?
00:26:42.420 Well,
00:26:42.940 no,
00:26:43.340 I can't.
00:26:44.300 And you know what?
00:26:44.940 I feel bad
00:26:45.600 and I have compassion
00:26:46.840 for those homeless people
00:26:48.000 and I understand,
00:26:50.320 like,
00:26:50.400 I mean,
00:26:50.720 where else are they
00:26:51.160 going to go?
00:26:51.720 Where else are they
00:26:52.120 going to go?
00:26:53.540 And the sad reality
00:26:54.920 is if I were to go there
00:26:56.360 with food
00:26:57.260 and feed them,
00:26:58.240 I'd probably get a ticket.
00:26:59.920 I would,
00:27:00.520 again,
00:27:00.660 be a criminal
00:27:01.120 if I did that
00:27:02.240 because you're not
00:27:02.640 allowed to do that.
00:27:04.020 So,
00:27:04.340 I mean,
00:27:04.800 look,
00:27:05.100 there's hypocrisy
00:27:05.980 everywhere.
00:27:06.920 We know the system
00:27:08.240 is broken.
00:27:11.360 I don't know
00:27:11.840 that it ever
00:27:12.360 functioned properly,
00:27:13.840 but at this point,
00:27:14.760 it's just getting silly.
00:27:16.200 It's just getting
00:27:16.700 absolutely,
00:27:17.800 I mean,
00:27:18.140 there's times
00:27:18.900 where this week
00:27:20.140 I was reflecting
00:27:20.880 on what happened
00:27:21.640 and I just start
00:27:22.300 laughing.
00:27:23.960 I just,
00:27:24.560 this can't be real.
00:27:26.720 This can't be real.
00:27:27.620 And my wife,
00:27:28.200 she just starts laughing.
00:27:29.100 This is an absolute joke
00:27:30.760 and I tell people,
00:27:31.620 you know what their
00:27:32.000 number one thing is
00:27:32.780 when they hear
00:27:33.180 about this story?
00:27:33.920 They say,
00:27:34.520 how many encounters
00:27:35.840 have you had
00:27:36.260 with the police
00:27:36.780 before this?
00:27:38.220 Because they think,
00:27:39.160 surely,
00:27:40.340 you're a repeat offender.
00:27:41.880 Surely.
00:27:42.740 Well,
00:27:42.980 the fact is
00:27:44.060 absolutely zero.
00:27:45.360 I have no criminal record.
00:27:46.880 I don't even have
00:27:47.700 a speeding ticket.
00:27:48.660 I have a few parking tickets,
00:27:52.060 but I paid those.
00:27:52.980 Okay.
00:27:53.740 But aside from that,
00:27:55.020 nothing,
00:27:55.720 nothing.
00:27:56.180 And yet you're being treated
00:27:57.260 like public enemy number one,
00:27:58.960 Pastor Armstrong.
00:27:59.820 It's absolutely outrageous
00:28:01.360 and egregious.
00:28:02.700 I guess the final question is,
00:28:05.960 what do we do about this?
00:28:07.180 What are you going to do
00:28:08.240 about this
00:28:08.760 in order to right this wrong?
00:28:10.500 Are you looking at legal action?
00:28:13.000 What are your options, sir?
00:28:14.860 At this point,
00:28:15.680 I am looking at all the options.
00:28:19.220 I mean,
00:28:20.220 what are my rights now?
00:28:22.060 I don't even know anymore.
00:28:23.860 After this,
00:28:25.380 I don't know.
00:28:26.500 I mean,
00:28:26.900 I can't go to a park
00:28:28.440 where I've been going
00:28:29.660 for five years
00:28:30.800 where I pay taxes.
00:28:32.540 I live in this community
00:28:33.500 and I pay a lot of taxes, Dave.
00:28:35.840 If I told you the number,
00:28:37.120 you'd be offended
00:28:37.900 and you should be.
00:28:39.120 And everybody here
00:28:40.300 pays these outrageous
00:28:41.980 property taxes.
00:28:43.680 And to be banned
00:28:44.900 from a park
00:28:45.440 when I have little kids,
00:28:46.440 when I pay for this
00:28:47.400 type of stuff,
00:28:48.360 it's an absolute
00:28:49.240 egregious crime
00:28:51.800 and sin before God
00:28:52.980 to do that.
00:28:54.900 And at this point,
00:28:56.140 I'm just simply
00:28:56.880 going to look at my options
00:28:58.080 and if legal action
00:28:59.340 is a legitimate option,
00:29:00.940 I'll take that.
00:29:02.080 And I am fighting
00:29:02.840 the ticket, absolutely.
00:29:04.180 Oh, and what is
00:29:04.980 the $8 amount
00:29:05.760 of the ticket, Pastor?
00:29:07.200 Oh, my gosh.
00:29:08.640 Take a guess.
00:29:10.120 For this,
00:29:10.560 for 10 cops
00:29:11.760 and six cruisers,
00:29:12.440 what do you think
00:29:12.840 my number is?
00:29:14.620 Well, $880
00:29:15.720 was a popular amount
00:29:17.700 during the pandemic.
00:29:18.700 I know that.
00:29:19.540 So is it somewhere
00:29:20.400 in that ballpark?
00:29:21.960 It's $65.
00:29:23.420 Oh, jeez.
00:29:24.080 It's the bare minimum.
00:29:25.660 Unbelievable.
00:29:26.860 Pastor Armstrong,
00:29:27.660 thank you so much
00:29:28.640 for making time
00:29:30.060 to tell us
00:29:31.220 this horrible story.
00:29:32.640 And there you go, folks.
00:29:33.760 Like I said
00:29:34.300 in the introduction,
00:29:34.980 we saw authorities
00:29:38.080 come down hard
00:29:39.620 on places of worship
00:29:42.280 during the pandemic.
00:29:44.300 Meanwhile,
00:29:45.040 the multinational
00:29:46.040 big box stores,
00:29:47.620 the Walmarts,
00:29:48.380 the Costcos,
00:29:49.020 they got to remain open.
00:29:50.440 Oh,
00:29:50.700 the government-run
00:29:51.640 liquor monopoly,
00:29:53.120 all those stores
00:29:54.120 remained open.
00:29:55.660 But COVID-19
00:29:57.440 is in the rearview mirror.
00:29:59.020 It's over and done with.
00:30:01.060 What is the problem
00:30:02.440 with a preacher
00:30:04.120 having a sermon,
00:30:06.900 you know,
00:30:07.200 preaching the gospel?
00:30:08.920 If you don't like it,
00:30:10.000 move on.
00:30:10.560 If you want to hear
00:30:11.160 what he has to say,
00:30:12.680 stick around.
00:30:14.980 This is an outrageous
00:30:17.000 abridgment
00:30:18.720 of someone's rights.
00:30:20.900 And let's hope
00:30:21.700 in the days ahead,
00:30:22.620 the weeks ahead,
00:30:23.600 the months ahead,
00:30:24.300 however long it takes,
00:30:25.840 sanity is restored
00:30:27.620 because quite frankly, folks,
00:30:29.720 I understand the idea
00:30:31.780 of crime and punishment,
00:30:33.100 but where was the crime
00:30:35.440 committed here?
00:30:36.740 Dave,
00:30:37.320 one more thing,
00:30:38.080 if I could.
00:30:39.380 The ticket says
00:30:40.560 that my offense
00:30:41.740 was prohibited activities.
00:30:44.740 Now,
00:30:45.640 let me tell you
00:30:47.500 the activities
00:30:48.480 I engaged in.
00:30:49.660 Three,
00:30:50.440 I prayed,
00:30:51.740 I sang hymns
00:30:52.680 with my five-year-old kids,
00:30:54.940 and I read the Bible.
00:30:56.380 That's all I did.
00:30:57.680 That's it.
00:30:58.040 And this proves
00:30:59.880 beyond a shadow
00:31:00.580 of a doubt
00:31:01.060 that everything
00:31:01.740 that happened
00:31:02.280 during COVID
00:31:03.020 wasn't about COVID.
00:31:05.220 It's unbelievable,
00:31:06.320 Pastor.
00:31:06.600 I'll leave you
00:31:07.020 with this final point.
00:31:08.060 Again,
00:31:08.440 I don't understand
00:31:09.140 the crime.
00:31:10.220 I don't know
00:31:10.760 how the Pride Parade
00:31:12.500 operates in Windsor,
00:31:13.700 but I can tell you
00:31:14.500 in June...
00:31:15.060 I don't know either.
00:31:15.680 I've never been there.
00:31:16.200 Okay, then.
00:31:17.280 In June,
00:31:17.760 I can tell you
00:31:18.400 in Toronto,
00:31:19.640 several men
00:31:20.840 got fully naked
00:31:22.300 with all their genitals
00:31:24.680 hanging out
00:31:25.320 in a public place
00:31:26.740 in front of children
00:31:28.480 and law enforcement
00:31:30.160 just shrugged,
00:31:31.380 what are you going to do?
00:31:32.620 Meanwhile,
00:31:33.580 you preach the gospel
00:31:34.720 and you're public enemy
00:31:35.840 number one.
00:31:36.560 Outrageous.
00:31:37.420 Maybe I should preach
00:31:38.340 in a rainbow thong.
00:31:39.840 Oh,
00:31:40.240 I think you put
00:31:41.500 that multicolored flag
00:31:42.880 around you.
00:31:43.560 That's akin to Superman's cape,
00:31:45.480 my friend.
00:31:46.560 Anyways,
00:31:47.040 we will keep you
00:31:48.100 informed, folks,
00:31:49.480 in the months ahead
00:31:50.720 where this story goes.
00:31:52.080 Well, folks,
00:32:01.100 plenty of feedback
00:32:01.880 regarding Ezra's monologue
00:32:03.400 last night
00:32:04.100 on how Russia's economy
00:32:06.520 has actually overtaken
00:32:08.520 that of Germany
00:32:10.340 to be, well,
00:32:11.580 the biggest economy
00:32:12.820 in Europe currently.

00:32:18.700 shows Russia
00:32:19.780 to be the fifth biggest economy
00:32:22.060 in the world
00:32:22.800 after China,
00:32:24.380 America,
00:32:25.060 India,
00:32:25.480 and Japan.
00:32:26.680 It has the strongest economy
00:32:28.520 in Europe,
00:32:29.340 thanks chiefly
00:32:30.260 to greatly expanded
00:32:32.560 trade volumes
00:32:33.720 with China,
00:32:35.160 India,
00:32:35.980 Indonesia,
00:32:37.160 the United Arab Emirates,
00:32:38.760 and many African nations.
00:32:41.380 Russia,
00:32:41.940 under Putin,
00:32:43.200 has never been
00:32:44.180 more prosperous,
00:32:45.300 and unlike America,
00:32:47.240 Canada,
00:32:48.080 Germany,
00:32:48.800 France,
00:32:49.180 the UK,
00:32:49.820 and Italy,
00:32:50.960 it is expanding.
00:32:52.880 Well,
00:32:53.160 that's a good point.
00:32:54.180 I think Germany's folly
00:32:56.700 is its self-created energy crisis,
00:33:00.080 you know,
00:33:00.480 depending on green energy,
00:33:02.680 not going ahead
00:33:04.080 with any more nuclear power plants,
00:33:06.760 being dependent
00:33:07.940 on foreign oil,
00:33:10.420 that would be
00:33:11.280 Russia.
00:33:12.880 You can see
00:33:13.340 a connection here.
00:33:14.880 And as for
00:33:15.820 the home front folks,
00:33:17.500 when Germany
00:33:18.480 came begging
00:33:19.560 to Canada
00:33:20.260 for liquefied
00:33:21.960 natural gas,
00:33:22.940 as did Japan,
00:33:24.560 well,
00:33:24.900 what did Blackface say?
00:33:26.580 There is
00:33:27.380 no business case
00:33:28.780 for deals
00:33:29.980 that were more
00:33:30.960 than
00:33:31.520 one trillion,
00:33:33.380 one third
00:33:34.140 of a trillion
00:33:34.700 dollars each.
00:33:36.480 Unbelievable.
00:33:37.240 No wonder
00:33:38.620 energy-rich
00:33:39.820 Russia
00:33:40.380 is prospering.

00:33:44.180 Firstly,
00:33:44.800 Canada is not
00:33:45.840 hated
00:33:46.300 around the world
00:33:47.420 as much as the USA,
00:33:49.200 so why should
00:33:50.520 we increase
00:33:51.420 military spending?
00:33:53.060 Wouldn't that money
00:33:53.960 be better spent
00:33:55.000 on housing,
00:33:56.580 the homeless R&D?
00:33:58.460 Canada also needs
00:33:59.640 to start
00:34:00.140 lowering our taxes
00:34:01.300 and stop
00:34:02.160 giving away
00:34:02.840 our money
00:34:03.400 to other countries.
00:34:05.200 The gouging
00:34:05.840 must stop.
00:34:06.400 Well,
00:34:07.320 we have to
00:34:08.440 increase
00:34:08.920 our military
00:34:09.440 spendings
00:34:10.040 because we
00:34:10.780 promise to
00:34:11.480 and it's part
00:34:12.160 of our
00:34:12.540 NATO commitments.
00:34:13.900 Now,
00:34:14.080 I do agree
00:34:14.720 with you,
00:34:15.560 giving away
00:34:16.360 hundreds and
00:34:17.440 hundreds of
00:34:17.980 millions of
00:34:18.480 dollars to
00:34:18.940 other countries
00:34:19.680 when we
00:34:20.560 are in
00:34:21.200 such dire
00:34:21.840 need,
00:34:22.520 that has
00:34:23.340 to end.
00:34:24.220 But I
00:34:24.560 don't see
00:34:24.980 it ending
00:34:25.540 until we
00:34:26.680 have regime
00:34:27.860 change in
00:34:28.860 our great
00:34:29.320 dominion.

00:34:34.240 Putin is
00:34:35.020 laughing
00:34:35.580 at our
00:34:36.860 clown
00:34:37.500 leaders.
00:34:38.560 Oh,
00:34:39.080 I totally
00:34:39.640 agree,
00:34:40.220 Yvonne,
00:34:40.560 and I
00:34:41.200 would say
00:34:41.560 the
00:34:41.740 mandarins
00:34:42.300 in
00:34:42.680 Beijing
00:34:43.240 are
00:34:44.100 having
00:34:44.520 a good
00:34:45.120 chuckle
00:34:45.740 themselves.
00:34:46.660 It's sad
00:34:47.820 to see the
00:34:49.460 energy virtue
00:34:50.420 signaling in a
00:34:51.480 country like
00:34:52.360 Canada.
00:34:54.040 You know,
00:34:54.480 basically our
00:34:55.440 political leaders
00:34:56.460 demonizing and
00:34:58.360 vilifying our
00:34:59.540 fossil fuel
00:35:00.240 industry.
00:35:00.720 then there
00:35:01.620 is all the
00:35:02.180 wokeism going
00:35:03.700 on in our
00:35:04.900 nation.
00:35:05.980 Makes you
00:35:06.740 wonder, if
00:35:07.760 there is a
00:35:08.260 World War
00:35:08.760 Three, maybe
00:35:10.200 the enemy is
00:35:11.060 going to win
00:35:11.520 it without
00:35:12.480 ever having
00:35:13.480 to fire a
00:35:15.140 single bullet.
00:35:16.500 Well, folks,
00:35:17.280 thanks so much
00:35:17.860 for tuning in
00:35:18.560 to this
00:35:19.000 night's edition
00:35:19.820 of the Ezra
00:35:20.540 Levent Show.
00:35:21.740 Ezra will be
00:35:22.300 back tomorrow.
00:35:23.680 In the
00:35:23.960 meantime, as
00:35:25.060 always, stay
00:35:26.120 safe and
00:35:26.920 stay sane.
