Rebel News editor-in-chief Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the gruesome details on the case of Candice Saro, the elderly Indigenous woman who was trampled by a police horse in Ottawa in February, and why Canada should stop selling assisted suicide.
00:00:00.100Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite Rebels.
00:00:25.700Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the gruesome details.
00:00:30.000Do you remember the horrific case of Candice Saro, the elderly Indigenous woman who was trampled by a police horse in Ottawa back in February?
00:00:52.500Our Montreal-based reporter, Alexa Lavoie, who was also injured in February, last February, thanks to police brutality, has all the details.
00:01:04.460We get your letters every minute of every day.
00:01:06.480And you had plenty to say about Justin Trudeau's Royal Canadian Mounted Henchmen looking like the Argos defensive line by, once again, physically preventing Prime Minister Blackface McGroper from hearing any insensitive questions from Rebel News.
00:03:31.320This is what it means to be woke in Canada now.
00:03:33.760So why wouldn't corporations align themselves with this next anti-human, anti-life thing?
00:03:41.280I just want to point out to you how extreme Canada is on this issue.
00:03:46.360Justin Trudeau's government has removed the 10-day wait time from when you ask for medical assistance in suicide and when you receive it.
00:03:54.180And you don't have to do it in writing.
00:03:56.380You can just verbally ask the state to kill you.
00:03:59.020To put this all into context, we had about 16,000 deaths in Canada related to COVID, depends on how you count that, of COVID or with COVID, but it was 16,000 deaths.
00:04:10.040We know that there were 10,000 requests in writing for medically assisted suicide, and that doesn't take into account the deaths that occurred because somebody just verbally asked for it and received it on the very day that they asked for it.
00:04:25.420And when we say medical assistance in suicide, don't think for a second that that means doctors participating in this.
00:04:35.280It can just be a medical professional.
00:04:37.280That might be a nurse that is seeing you today for the first time or even a pharmacist that's helping you take a short trip off a long or, you know, take a short trip off the earth.
00:04:52.260That's the state of affairs here in Canada.
00:04:54.260Well, here's the CEO of Simons, the company that produced that pro-euthanasia campaign.
00:05:01.420It's obviously not a commercial campaign.
00:05:04.500It's more an effort to use our freedom, our voice, and the privilege we have to speak and create.
00:05:11.980Companies have a responsibility to participate in communities and to help build the communities that we want to live in tomorrow and leave to our children.
00:05:23.580Okay, so, Sheila, how are we actually building communities if the goal is to help kill people?
00:05:51.060What does that have to do with anything?
00:05:52.700In Canada right now, if you annoy a government bureaucrat whose job it is to help you through your acute medical or psychological issues that you're experiencing on that very day,
00:06:03.460they will suggest to you that maybe you should just do us all a favour and help yourself to some sanctioned homicide.
00:06:10.780We know of at least seven military veterans who have been experiencing acute PTSD who were offered medical assistance in dying by Veterans Affairs.
00:06:22.140We also know about parents of sick babies who have been offered medical assistance in dying.
00:06:28.260Oh, they want to get, it's like they want to get human life off the books.
00:06:32.200Yeah, well, they want to get human life that's inconvenient off the books.
00:06:35.040They, it's kind of obvious where this is all going, if anyone wants to pay attention to what we're talking about here.
00:06:41.380Sheila, you're doing an invaluable service in Canada by raising the awareness about this.
00:06:46.460We're going to stay on this because if it's there, believe me, it's going to be growing as a movement in the United States as well.
00:07:22.320David, I'm great. Thanks for having me on the show.
00:07:24.460Well, that is fantastic. And what a great interview with Laura Ingram of Fox News.
00:07:28.880And Sheila, so many angles here to unpack.
00:07:31.820But first of all, isn't Simmons in the business of, you know, selling clothes and home goods?
00:07:38.800How is it that a pro-suicide ad campaign is a so-called brand building exercise to begin with?
00:07:48.280Well, they also said it was a community building exercise.
00:07:50.520And I was like, you're threatening to off the community.
00:07:53.520So I'm not quite sure how that's building the community when you're making sure there are fewer people in it.
00:07:57.420But we see this all the time. As I said to Laura, we see corporations align themselves with whatever government agenda is before them.
00:08:07.440We should be used to it now with regard to climate change.
00:08:11.860For some reason, your grocery store has the pride flag up with BLM shirts in Walmart, companies virtue signaling about reproductive rights when they should be just trying to sell you clothes and food.
00:08:28.860And this is just what it means now to be a woke corporation in Justin Trudeau's Canada.
00:08:35.280You also have to be a euthanasia extremist.
00:08:38.920You know, and Sheila, let me challenge you on that point, because, you know, the bottom line of being in business is indeed the bottom line.
00:10:26.100Right now, we're into December, Sheila.
00:10:28.360This is where retailers make the bulk of their profits over the year with the Christmas merchandise sales.
00:10:35.240And I'm just wondering if this ad campaign draws more customers to Simons, or it has the opposite effect.
00:10:43.280People are going, I'm not going there.
00:10:45.000In fact, I'm going to boycott this chain until it pulls its ads.
00:10:49.560How do you think this will play out if you are looking into a crystal ball right now?
00:10:54.480I think the people who care will care and not go there.
00:10:57.800But I'm not sure that as a Canadian society, we are aware enough of just how radical we are on this issue.
00:11:08.560And, you know, this is posted on, I think, the Simons YouTube page.
00:11:14.140I don't know about you, David, but I don't watch a lot of YouTube videos from a clothing company, generally speaking.
00:11:20.100So I'm not sure how widely this was viewed before it caught the nose of our American friends who said, this is crazy.
00:11:30.000What has this got to do with selling ladies clothes?
00:11:32.600So I'm not sure that enough Canadians really will be outraged about this as much as I am.
00:11:38.660This beautification of people in their most darkest, desperate moments being offered something other than the help that they need to live on.
00:11:50.240You know, it really is incredible, Sheila, how this assisted suicide is really taking off.
00:11:57.560And, you know, I think I might have mentioned this before.
00:11:59.860I look back at the science fiction film from 1973, Soylent Green, based on a book from 1965.
00:12:06.760And how much of that is coming true, such as not only is suicide in the future legal, but the remaining family members get benefits from the state.
00:12:18.920There is a food alternative, which is the title of the movie.
00:12:24.560I'm not going to give a spoiler here about what the food is.
00:12:30.080And the funny thing is, the uncanny thing is, Sheila, is that Soylent Green is set in the here and now, 2022.
00:12:40.240And here we are seeing, yes, the state championing suicide.
00:12:46.940How did we get here in the first place?
00:12:49.820You know, it's a neat little thing that the government is doing here because they are the architects of the suffering of these people.
00:12:56.140And instead of fixing the system that creates the suffering, they say, you know what, let's just get you right out of the system altogether.
00:13:03.880And then they pat themselves on the back and call it compassion.
00:13:07.280State-sanctioned homicide these days is called compassion.
00:13:10.760Let's look at what's really happening here.
00:13:12.420And I think the veterans issue is a great example of this.
00:13:15.660So, as we know, as we're told by our prime minister, our veterans are asking for more than he's willing to give.
00:13:20.280So, they are shoehorned into a system that causes them undue suffering after they've served our country in uniform and have received psychological and physical injuries because of it.
00:13:35.200And so, they reach out to the system we've stuck them in that is broken for help.
00:13:41.460And if you annoy a government bureaucrat a little too much on the other end of the line, they say, you know what, why don't you just do us all a favor and drop dead?
00:13:49.760Basically, they say it in nicer ways, but they say, you know, you're obviously suffering.
00:13:54.780Have you considered medical assistance in dying?
00:13:56.920So, instead of fixing the system, the broken system that causes the suffering, they just get the people out of the system by exterminating people, offering them something they would never take on a better day.
00:14:13.500And, you know, it tidies up the loose ends for the government and it spills over into all aspects of our lives.
00:14:19.880You know, I use the veterans example, but Canadian healthcare, really, the defining attribute of Canadian healthcare is suffering in the same lineup as everybody else.
00:14:30.240And then, again, instead of allowing innovation in the healthcare system, we say, you know what, there are too many people in this healthcare system.
00:14:52.860I mean, they go overseas and you're not so much worried.
00:14:57.480I mean, of course, you're worried about the Taliban, the enemy, killing you.
00:15:01.040You have no idea that once you get back into Canada, it's going to be your own government trying to almost coerce you into taking your own life.
00:15:10.860And let's be clear, this is the opposite of empathy and compassion, Sheila.
00:15:15.220I think to the government, a retired soldier, a veteran, especially a veteran that has injuries preventing him from being redeployed.
00:15:24.600Well, that's a liability on the books, if you will.
00:17:15.640The thing is, he had a change of heart.
00:17:17.980He's gone on to have a fulfilling career.
00:17:20.020He's written a fantastic book just published a few months ago about the trucker convoy in Ottawa.
00:17:26.060And I know if you talked to Andrew, who is actually in the process of trying to check out, he is so happy that did not happen.
00:17:35.860I wonder how many people of the assisted suicides we've had in recent years, Sheila, that if given the opportunity of time, given counseling,
00:17:47.380you know, just given the chance to have sober second thought,
00:17:51.480how many of those people would still be here today and say, you know what, I'm so glad I didn't go through with terminating my life.
00:18:23.500There's no, as you say, sober second thought.
00:18:25.640And I'm sure we all know somebody in our lives who has committed suicide because it is one of the leading causes of death for men, quite frankly.
00:18:33.860I have an interview this week with the veteran who ripped the Band-Aid and exposed what was happening at Veterans Affairs with these veterans.
00:18:50.920And he testified at parliamentary hearings about this very issue.
00:18:56.960But he said this is so near and dear to his heart because he was experiencing a very acute PTSD episode not all that long ago.
00:19:07.040And he told me about it while we were being, like, while we were in an interview.
00:19:11.880So I don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say this.
00:19:15.600But he said it was just a momentary thing.
00:19:19.520And he came to his senses right after.
00:19:23.060And he was so happy that he didn't succeed.
00:19:25.600And I think all of us know somebody in our lives who has tried to harm themselves.
00:19:31.620And they have no regret, zero regret about surviving that attempt.
00:19:38.800And I think we have to give people the opportunity to survive whatever they're going through instead of giving them a quick, easy, convenient way out for the people who are paid to help them.
00:19:53.780Well, Sheila, it was a great piece, a great interview with Laura Ingram.
00:19:57.980And, I mean, to bring it back full circle, I don't know what Simons was thinking.
00:20:01.660Look, I don't wish that company nor its employees any ill will.
00:20:06.300But I think they're going to suffer from buyer's remorse about this.
00:20:09.160I would like to think that the vast majority of reasonable-minded Canadians aren't down with an ad campaign urging one to take their own life.
00:20:23.300Simons should have euthanized that ad campaign.
00:20:26.020And I hope the CEO just euthanized his career.
00:20:28.420If people want to sign my petition calling on the federal government to rethink their extreme pro-death radicalism, please go to HelpNotHomicide.com.
00:20:57.060More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:21:12.340On January 29, a peaceful protest came to Ottawa to demonstrate against the mandate and the overreach of the government in the life of Canadians.
00:21:22.080On February 14, Justin Trudeau had decided to invoke the never-before-used Emergencies Act, granting the RCMP special power to shut down the protests by force.
00:21:35.280Candice Thoreau was present during the dismantling of the convoy, and she was trampled by the hordes of the mounted police unit.
00:21:43.220Candice Thoreau, the special investigation unit, have been mandated to investigate occurrence across Ontario involving all municipal, regional, and provincial police officers.
00:22:06.980Since many people have been injured, as Candice Thoreau, they have opened a file for Candice Thoreau's injuries.
00:22:14.940At the beginning of last April, we heard that the SIU had dropped the investigation because the injury was not enough.
00:22:23.100Candice Thoreau, the first-generation, the first-generation woman who was holding the line at the first place, got hit by the horse of the mounti police and had been injured.
00:22:40.860And I came here today to learn about her story, how she felt at this moment and what she has to say to us about it.
00:22:53.100I'm Candice Thero from Tandenanga Mohawk Territory.
00:22:57.840It's about two hours, two and a half hours southwest of here.
00:23:01.860Alexa Lavoie for Ruben News and I'm in front of where the Public Order Emergency Commission is holding after more than a month and almost a half of every single day.
00:23:18.180Different witnesses who gave testimony about the invocation of the Emergencies Act on the 14th of February 2022 for dismantling a peaceful protest in Ottawa.
00:23:31.200I'm with, you will remember Candice Thero.
00:23:36.620The investigation on Candice, on the SIU, have been dropped because they say that the injury of Candice was not enough severe to continue the investigation.
00:23:50.360So I'm here with her to not only give you an update, but also to know a little bit more about her situation.
00:24:16.740So can you explain what happened with the SIU?
00:24:20.720The SIU, they did send me a letter stating that, yes, they can say I was hurt, but will be no more further investigation because I wasn't hurt enough.
00:24:36.260We will show some pictures of your bruise that you had that day and we want to know a little bit, how did you feel when you received that letter saying that they would just drop the investigation?
00:24:50.820At that point in time when I was floored, very floored, like they had just swept it under the rug, so to speak.
00:25:01.560As all of Canada worldwide seen, yes, I did get trampled by a horse and for them to say that I wasn't hurt is off the wall.
00:25:16.200And we know how you feel because I saw you afterwards, you just went out of the hospital, you were in pain, you were injured and I saw you.
00:25:28.520And I am still in pain and injured and everything isn't set right, still.
00:25:37.160Yeah, sorry about that, Ms. Sarah, but your injuries weren't quite enough to garner further attention by the Special Investigations Unit.
00:25:46.280Oh, and you won't be needed to testify at the Emergencies Act inquiry either.
00:25:51.160They were much too busy interviewing Ottawa snowflakes who were triggered by horns blaring and diesel fumes.
00:29:44.960But I was there when I saw the horse, like just jumping straight.
00:29:49.340And I actually run away because I was like, oh, my God, this horse, if the horse is getting panic, it's going to just like trample everybody.
00:29:58.920And Alexa, you make an excellent point about the disinformation and misinformation.
00:30:04.540This is what the authorities, this is what the government, this is what law enforcement was claiming the trucker freedom convoy was all about.
00:30:18.580They are responsible for the misinformation and disinformation.
00:30:23.340And by the way, we have to point out, this was the mounted unit of the Toronto Police Service, I do believe.
00:30:30.020And the last time I saw those cats in action, they were shutting down Adamson's barbecue restaurant because, God forbid, Alexa, an illegal barbecue joint during COVID when 400 meters away, Costco is serving food at its food service facility.
00:30:51.920I'm just wondering, is this mounted unit ever actually used against the bad guys?
00:30:57.860I don't think that, I think this tactic has been only used when you have like really a terrorist attack or something like that, not on like peaceful citizens.
00:31:11.620And I didn't see like using like horses on a population before, I would say in my lifetime.
00:31:19.220I think that is really, really one of the most horrible things to do, not only for the citizens, but I'm just putting myself in the position of the horse.
00:31:32.800How panicking it should be, like just like being like forced to just like jump into a crowd.
00:31:39.680Like, this is like, I always say like suffering, like they are suffering like the horse too.
00:31:50.860Like in both sides, like people were suffering.
00:31:53.940And I'm just thinking like, which kind of police we have to use this kind of intervention?
00:32:02.060Like, like they had like some children and women in the crowd that had like maybe the chance to be hurt.
00:32:12.700And by the way, Candice is lucky she's not injured much more than that because she had probably the chance to be dead right now,
00:32:21.240to be really like trampled, like hardened and that.
00:32:24.400So the investigation should be like, not like how, how severe is the, the injury, but more like maybe she, she, she will be dead right now,
00:39:02.800We are going to come back to you with Rebel Roundup right after this.
00:39:16.620Even Menzies for Rebel News here in Toronto.
00:39:19.700And, folks, I'm at the Pan Pacific Hotel with ace cameraman Lincoln Jay.
00:39:24.040We were tipped off that the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, is going to show up for some sort of a schmooze fest here.
00:39:31.260Hopefully he's not going to give away hundreds of millions of dollars of Canadian money, Canadian taxpayer money, that is, to some foreign land.
00:39:47.720Why did he freeze the bank accounts of peaceful protesters at the Freedom Convoy last winter,
00:39:55.320but he can't be bothered to take action against Chinese communists subverting our democracy?
00:40:03.560You may recall the government of China interfered in the 2019 election, supporting 11 Liberal candidates that year.
00:40:12.900And Trudeau claims he was never briefed on this, even though CESA says he was.
00:40:18.200How about another couple of questions?
00:40:20.040I'd like to know what his reaction was to Justice Rouleau having Brandon Miller escorted by security out of the Emergencies Act inquiry earlier today.
00:40:32.360And, of course, was that really a Liberal operative that was waving a Nazi flag on the initial day of the Freedom Convoy protest?
00:40:42.120Well, there's a hot potato issue for the little potato, as they call him in China.
00:40:47.840How about this? Can we trust Commissioner Rouleau to call a fair game when it comes to the Emergencies Act inquiry?
00:42:29.320Yeah, so not only did they beat me up, not only did they break my watch, but I suspect they gave me COVID.
00:42:36.960It was just a couple of days later I came down with COVID after being a pitcher of health for more than two and a half years.
00:42:44.780And it was revealed in the media that half of Justin Trudeau's security detail were COVID positive, despicable.
00:42:54.620But that's the police state we're in, folks.
00:42:57.720The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are now the Royal Canadian Mounted Henchmen, and they do Justin Trudeau's dirty work.
00:43:04.440In any event, we're going to mosey on over to the main entrance and see if this Prime Minister will at least attempt to answer a couple of our questions.
00:43:15.380Mr. Trudeau, why did you freeze the bank accounts of innocent Canadians, and you're turning a blind eye to the subversion by the Chinese government?
00:44:08.600Once again, Justin Trudeau's Royal Canadian henchmen do not believe in a free press.
00:44:18.260Well, folks, maybe that last line I uttered isn't completely true.
00:44:22.280It's not that Trudeau and his cronies don't believe in a free press.
00:44:26.300It's just that their definition of a free press involves journalists who are government funded, you know, so that they know their role and they don't ask any insensitive or impolite questions.
00:44:39.960Yep, welcome to the Dominion of Canada in 2022, in which the media watchdogs have become Trudeau's lapdogs.
00:44:49.040And if you dare show up to a Trudeau event as an independent journalist, well, expect Trudeau's thugs to get handsy with you.
00:45:52.900The men's way needs to be wearing his baseball cleats when he goes to interview Justin Trudeau, when FJT's detail back him up against the wall, get him with the spikes.
00:46:04.580Well, actually, Tom, unlike Trudeau's security detail, I really don't want to hurt anybody.
