00:01:14.420 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,
00:01:32.360 in which we take a look back at some of the very best commentaries
00:01:35.320 from your favorite Rebels from this past week.
00:01:39.140 I'm your guest host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and I'm filling in for my very dear friend, David Menzies,
00:01:44.840 as he takes a well-deserved break away from the show.
00:01:47.380 But don't worry, friends.
00:01:48.320 Do not worry.
00:01:49.480 He'll be back very, very soon.
00:01:51.100 We all miss him as much as you do.
00:01:53.260 Trust me on that.
00:01:54.480 Now, it's hard enough to find the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with
00:01:58.100 and parent your children beside.
00:02:00.080 You've got to have some shared values.
00:02:03.480 And even if you don't necessarily share every single opinion,
00:02:06.840 you have to be able to tolerate the other person's differences of opinions, right?
00:02:12.100 But dating apps today, they're weeding out conservatives before they ever get a chance
00:02:15.800 to impress a potential mate with their chiseled good looks and strong work ethic.
00:02:21.440 Dating apps have gone woke and pro-vaccine.
00:02:24.520 And so what's a young, single, freedom-minded individual supposed to do with that mess when
00:02:32.640 meeting in person is taboo now?
00:02:35.140 Louis Brackpool joins us with that story.
00:02:37.720 Then hospitals are overwhelmed, or so we're told, and so we all have to stay home, cancel
00:02:42.440 our lives, and get an injection that we don't want to protect the healthcare system.
00:02:46.940 But what if you're a nurse who doesn't want that jab because you have natural immunity,
00:02:51.720 because you caught COVID working hard early in the pandemic?
00:02:55.600 So now you don't think it's worth the health risk to take a vaccine that the data is now
00:03:00.460 showing has a bit of an expiration date and offers little to no protection against the
00:03:05.100 latest strain of the coronavirus.
00:03:06.940 Normally, you go to your union, but so often the unions have been turning away grievances.
00:03:11.860 But not this time.
00:03:13.260 Tamara Ugolini has this story.
00:03:15.200 Then letters, letters, letters.
00:03:16.660 Oh boy, we get your letters all the time.
00:03:18.880 Emails, comments, Facebook messages, we get them all.
00:03:22.440 And we'll go through some of those at the end of the show.
00:03:25.760 Now, those are your rebels.
00:03:27.520 Let's round them up.
00:03:35.540 You can go onto a dating app and meet potentially the love of your life through your phone.
00:03:44.380 But there is something to be said about these dating apps and how they're not all as inclusive
00:03:50.860 as you may think.
00:03:53.480 The COVID safety.
00:03:56.540 The COVID comfort zone.
00:03:59.160 What is your preference?
00:04:01.080 Virtual only?
00:04:02.820 Mask and distancing?
00:04:04.860 Social distancing?
00:04:06.940 Mask up?
00:04:09.540 Or no mask and social distancing?
00:04:12.720 Here's the thing that people have been noticing about this app, however.
00:04:17.700 It is very geared towards the psyopped minds of this COVID stuff.
00:04:24.360 Where they display ads in between you swiping.
00:04:28.180 Where one of them encourages you to have your first date on video chat.
00:04:33.340 So you don't meet in the conventional way of meeting up.
00:04:36.280 And another one says, be a hero.
00:04:39.260 Wear a mask.
00:04:40.560 They have profile stickers where you can put things such as getting vaxxed soon, vaccines
00:04:50.420 save lives, immunity together, and display that you are vaccinated.
00:04:57.440 I think it's got to be tough out there for a young conservative trying to find a mate in
00:05:02.180 a society that has digitized normal courtship.
00:05:05.420 If normal courtship is really even a thing anymore, I know I'm going to sound like a total
00:05:10.360 prude.
00:05:11.260 But in a world that has completely enabled and justified hedonistic behavior through hookup
00:05:17.200 apps, I bet finding a compatible partner with shared values is nearly impossible these days.
00:05:24.340 Especially when, as a conservative, even the dating apps are skewed to make it seem like
00:05:29.680 the concepts of personal responsibility and medical privacy are somehow extreme.
00:05:35.140 Joining me now to discuss his report on the wokeness of dating apps is UK-based rebel reporter
00:05:42.740 Lewis Brackpool.
00:05:44.140 Lewis, I guess my first question is, how on earth can a young conservative find love these
00:05:51.080 days?
00:05:52.240 Well, it's certainly not through a dating app, from what I've found.
00:05:57.060 Yeah, it's a difficult one.
00:05:59.080 I mean, as we know, with the pandemic hitting, it's been very, very difficult to go out and
00:06:03.280 meet people or your compatible mate.
00:06:05.800 And with that being said, it's quite difficult to find, of course, someone with the same type
00:06:11.780 of values as you.
00:06:12.880 Now, these dating apps have made it so difficult for a conservative or someone on the right to,
00:06:18.700 of course, match up with someone.
00:06:20.540 And you've got to go through all the process of chatting and saying, look, these are my
00:06:26.100 views, X, Y, and Z.
00:06:27.460 Are they controversial or not?
00:06:29.220 And most of the time, when you match someone on these apps, they've kind of laid the basis
00:06:34.980 out to what they're going to be like.
00:06:37.380 So it has made it a bit more polarized.
00:06:40.600 And they've added things such as stickers and badges and interests to show you how woke
00:06:48.420 they are.
00:06:49.400 So, yeah, I don't really have an answer for conservatives who want to try out online dating.
00:06:55.220 Just it's a little bit of a minefield, if I'm totally honest.
00:06:58.200 Yeah, and I think you're right to point out that the conventional ways where people used
00:07:05.640 to meet other people, those are kind of illegal these days.
00:07:09.700 You know, you can't go to a bar, have a few drinks and, you know, make yourself a little
00:07:15.840 bit more interesting through wit and charm and moxie.
00:07:19.540 Um, you are pre-screened by these woke apps.
00:07:23.980 And I think it presupposes that people are intolerant of each other because you're immediately
00:07:31.580 sort of cancelled out based on your politics.
00:07:34.280 When I know a lot of couples where the wife votes one way and the husband votes another
00:07:39.380 way and they're perfectly fine.
00:07:41.100 It's just not something that they talk about.
00:07:42.940 But now it's like people's brains are being trained that this is something that we just
00:07:48.120 can't overcome.
00:07:48.900 Yeah, absolutely.
00:07:50.500 I think with these dating apps, it's almost quite vacuous in a way because you're staring
00:07:54.840 at a screen, you're looking at how they look like and you see their politics just pop up
00:08:00.420 immediately.
00:08:00.980 I mean, you can choose whether you have that on your profile or not.
00:08:03.920 And, you know, fair play if you don't have it or have it on.
00:08:07.300 But I think what's important is shared values.
00:08:09.880 I think that's the main sort of takeaway from it.
00:08:12.580 And if you're staring at a screen trying to figure out someone's values from it, A, it can
00:08:18.080 be misread.
00:08:19.460 You know, they could they could be a supporter of a group that you may not agree with, but
00:08:23.900 they actually have the same shared values of maybe free speech or something else.
00:08:27.920 It's difficult to say.
00:08:29.400 But the problem is, it's so easy for us to look at someone and go, no, I'm not matching
00:08:34.580 this person because of X, Y and Z, especially against conservatives, because they see the
00:08:39.260 word conservative.
00:08:40.300 They think you hate immigrants or they think you hate, you know, some form of person or,
00:08:45.340 you know, based on whatever.
00:08:47.320 If you hate trans people, you hate, you know, all sorts of people.
00:08:50.880 That's that's sort of been the message that people have started drilling into into others
00:08:55.660 because they see the word conservative and they think you're up to some malicious intent,
00:09:00.140 which is complete baloney.
00:09:03.640 And yeah, it's a minefield.
00:09:06.320 It's an absolute minefield.
00:09:07.680 So, I mean, what can I say?
00:09:09.880 You can pay, I guess, for these apps now where if you want to match up with a preferred type
00:09:15.880 of values, you can.
00:09:17.580 From what I was looking on the app Hinge, you can do that.
00:09:20.620 I'm not sure about the others.
00:09:22.500 But yeah, I mean, why?
00:09:25.520 Why would you want to give your money away to these companies who are already setting
00:09:29.360 you up to fail?
00:09:32.880 Now, there's something else happening in all of this that's sort of new.
00:09:36.920 I mean, hookup apps, they're not all that new, but they've sort of injected the vaccine
00:09:43.940 debate into dating now, as though dating as a young, free speech minded, leave me alone
00:09:50.360 style conservative isn't hard enough because of all these misconceptions about you and the
00:09:56.920 kind of person that conservatives might be in the media, as you point out.
00:10:00.060 But now they've injected vaccination status into the middle of all this.
00:10:07.120 Why do you think they're doing that?
00:10:08.560 I think it's now a training, a training ground for who can be the most virtuous and who can
00:10:17.100 add, who can, who can show off how woke they are now.
00:10:21.380 I think that's, that's sort of the main takeaway from my get.
00:10:24.420 I mean, you get, for example, Tinder.
00:10:26.240 If you watch the report, you can see you could put stickers on your profile to show whether
00:10:31.080 you've been vaccinated and things like vaccines, vaccines work and, and, and all this stuff.
00:10:40.860 It's just, it's, it's a way to show that you are now better than other people.
00:10:46.580 And that's kind of the message that's been, that's been pushing.
00:10:49.900 We've also seen ads as well.
00:10:51.500 If you, if you watch the report, there's ads where they say things like, be a hero,
00:10:55.580 wear a mask, um, it's sort of ridiculous rhetoric that is a way to sort of make people go, oh,
00:11:03.480 do you know what?
00:11:04.160 Like I should be a hero.
00:11:05.420 I should wear a mask and things like that.
00:11:06.960 When we, we know the answer to that.
00:11:08.680 We don't really need to go into that, but yeah, I think it's, it's almost like training
00:11:12.860 grounds for, for indoctrination almost.
00:11:15.540 I see it.
00:11:16.220 I mean, that sounds pretty radical to a lot of people, but with all the advertisements,
00:11:21.300 with all the types of stickers, with putting black lives matter everywhere, empathy, and
00:11:26.800 has to be all LGBT ally, everything, uh, in your interests, which I didn't realize that
00:11:33.000 that was an interest.
00:11:34.200 Um, it's just activism.
00:11:36.260 I am not interested in other people's, uh, sexual preferences whatsoever, but okay.
00:11:42.560 Yeah.
00:11:43.540 Like it's, it's just, it's a strange manipulative virtual world to try and make yourself look
00:11:50.520 the most virtuous.
00:11:51.920 And it's just, it's just an odd, odd world.
00:11:55.600 I mean, personally, after doing all that, I, I kept hinge, I deleted everything else and
00:12:00.980 I had a little look, um, I must admit.
00:12:03.840 Um, but I understand why people get so put off by it because it is, it's literally just
00:12:10.480 the dumping ground of virtue and, and I, I just, yeah, I, I totally understand it, but
00:12:15.720 at the same time, people now don't want to meet the conventional way anymore.
00:12:20.760 So it's kind of that strange sort of middle ground of, of wanting to find a mate and, um,
00:12:27.220 and hoping it lands, lands your way.
00:12:30.720 Yeah.
00:12:31.300 It's almost like the pandemic where you're doing more of the things that didn't work,
00:12:35.640 but more ambitiously and quicker in that, you know, we've sort of seen, um, relationships,
00:12:44.380 long-term relationships are, they seem to be less frequent these days.
00:12:49.040 Marriages don't last.
00:12:50.280 And I think a lot of that has to do with, you know, this dating apps and the ease by which
00:12:55.080 you can meet other people and discard the person you're with.
00:12:57.520 And instead of stepping back and saying, maybe that's why this is happening to society,
00:13:02.420 people are like, you know what, we need a new dating app, a better dating app, instead
00:13:06.840 of just going out there and talking to people face to face.
00:13:09.700 I wanted to, as you were talking about the stickers and the badges that you can put on
00:13:13.580 your profile, I wanted to ask you, are there badges for like, because you said, oh, I'm
00:13:18.820 vaccinated or wear a mask or be a hero, wear a mask.
00:13:22.040 Are there ones to indicate that perhaps you are STD free, you know, like real health issues?
00:13:29.000 Real health issues.
00:13:30.300 Yeah, indeed.
00:13:31.320 No, no, there isn't.
00:13:33.320 I think you have to download a completely different app for that, but there is, uh, there is resources,
00:13:39.080 um, which you obviously have to, have to troll through on the, on the app.
00:13:43.380 For example, Tinder, they have resources to some sort of, um, company called sex wise, where
00:13:49.620 you can get free consultations on STI, STD, unwanted pregnancies, things like that.
00:13:56.320 So I think they've got it all covered in that sort of direction, but you have to really,
00:14:00.840 really troll through that.
00:14:02.580 And it's funny, it's funny, um, all this because it sort of shows what sort of app it
00:14:08.400 is really, if, if you've got all of that lined up, ready and waiting.
00:14:12.560 Um, so, and I think to add as well, because it's on an app, because we know, uh, social
00:14:19.960 media is very, very toxic in its own way, because we're not face to face with someone, we wouldn't
00:14:25.520 have that same interaction we would do through a phone to face to face.
00:14:29.460 And I think that's, what's extremely important that when we go onto a profile and you say,
00:14:34.400 oh, he's conservative, he's, he's, I don't know, anti-mass immigration, he's whatever, you
00:14:39.420 wouldn't be putting this in your profile, obviously, but if you just see conservative,
00:14:44.780 um, your immediate reaction is, is different to, to what you would be in real life.
00:14:49.080 Cause you might not necessarily know that someone, um, is that, is that way inclined politically.
00:14:54.900 So it's funny how we can easily hide behind a screen and, uh, and, um, they can make these
00:15:01.960 comments about Tory hating and things like that when you just don't know your share values.
00:15:07.460 And I think that's the biggest take from it.
00:15:10.340 Yeah.
00:15:11.000 If, if there's anything we should have learned from the pandemic is that when you go to these
00:15:16.060 protests, there are a lot of people there who normally would not agree with each other
00:15:20.380 on very much, but they are all there marching for freedom and for medical privacy.
00:15:25.180 So yeah, it's true.
00:15:26.900 You know, once you have that little label on, on who you are in the app, people are just
00:15:33.880 skipping past you without actually getting to know you as a person.
00:15:36.440 Uh, Lewis, uh, thanks for joining me today.
00:15:39.000 And every time that I am considering thinking that maybe whatever is in front of me is worth
00:15:45.380 fighting with my husband about, I'm going to whip out your video and watch it and remind
00:15:50.260 myself that, um, being single this day and age is absolutely no fun.
00:15:56.480 Lewis, thanks so much.
00:15:58.180 No problem.
00:15:59.060 Thank you very much.
00:16:00.120 Cheers.
00:16:00.440 Show us the data, show us the evidence, show us the process with, you know, what, what
00:16:11.300 policies and what outcomes you have proven to dictate these extraordinary, unethical,
00:16:17.360 unjustified, unscientific measures that you have implemented.
00:16:20.340 They cited several parts of that collective agreement, of course.
00:16:24.520 And, um, one specific thing was that they, they must negotiate with not only the individual
00:16:31.160 members, but with the union itself before they make any forced, you know, interventions
00:16:36.880 on our behalf, um, specifically when it comes down to injection.
00:16:42.000 I am bringing you the story of a registered nurse whose union is actually backing her in
00:16:47.560 a grievance against her former employer.
00:16:50.580 In many instances, I hear from terminated employees whose unions have utterly failed
00:16:56.480 them in the face of indiscriminate mandates that hail themselves as upholding the highest
00:17:03.420 standards of health and safety.
00:17:05.460 And yet basic questions and requests for justification never seem to be attainable.
00:17:11.520 In this instance, the nurse that I'm interviewing has jumped through all of the hoops that the
00:17:16.560 employer wanted her to do to claim a religious and ethical exemption against that indiscriminate
00:17:23.400 get injected or be terminated mandate.
00:17:26.840 She even asked for further data and clarification and information to help make an informed choice,
00:17:33.160 which appears to have fallen once again on deaf ears, but her union took her concerns
00:17:38.340 seriously and is grieving on her behalf.
00:17:40.940 You provided a 20 plus page essay essentially.
00:17:44.900 And I read through it, it's, it's very well sourced and obviously a lot of time and effort
00:17:49.460 went into this essay that accompanied your, uh, you're, you're seeking an exemption.
00:17:55.960 And what was the basis of your exemption, uh, your claim for an exemption?
00:18:01.220 And then do you think that anyone even took the time to read that essay that you took so
00:18:05.660 much time to write?
00:18:06.780 Um, so I'll actually start with the latter half of that question first, if that's okay.
00:18:12.120 I do not believe that they actually read my essay because I'm happy, I think an agency
00:18:17.680 of that magnitude would have taken into account some of the very serious concerns that I address,
00:18:22.960 not only with regards to legality, but also with some of the ethical considerations around
00:18:28.400 the response and the harm that we as an agency were all aware of, you know, specifically regarding
00:18:34.300 our seniors and what, what the consequences were.
00:18:36.980 So the basis of my exemption was of course, a legitimate medical background that I have.
00:18:44.080 Um, but I was not allowed to bring that forth or had no medical professional who would back
00:18:49.040 me in that because, well, as we all know, the government has scripted, um, appropriate
00:18:53.740 exemptions.
00:18:54.500 So somehow they, they became experts in individual health expertise, but nonetheless, so that was one.
00:19:00.520 Um, but the other, uh, big part of my religious exemption was under human rights ground, human
00:19:07.120 rights grounds rather.
00:19:08.120 Um, so discrimination was a big one, but I also began with providing very well documented
00:19:14.840 evidence.
00:19:15.340 So evidence informed decision making.
00:19:17.280 So I brought forth, uh, the healthcare consent act of Canada, my inability as an individual to
00:19:23.140 provide informed consent or voluntary consent based on the simple fact that the evidence is
00:19:28.340 lacking.
00:19:28.980 So, and I, what I did there was I also went further and brought forth evidence from the
00:19:33.660 chronic monographs from CDC, you know, from relevant, um, sources such as the who to, to
00:19:40.300 basically outline, Hey, here's what information I need and here's why it's lacking.
00:19:44.820 And here's who tells me it's lacking.
00:19:46.320 Right.
00:19:47.200 Um, that wasn't enough.
00:19:48.620 Politicians would have us believe that we are in a deadly pandemic.
00:19:52.060 So deadly that we need to sacrifice our civil liberties and treat a substantial portion
00:19:56.580 of innocent, otherwise law-abiding Canadian citizens as though they are dangerous criminals
00:20:00.880 or disease vectors.
00:20:02.520 These people are not allowed to dine indoors, use recreation facilities, or watch their kids
00:20:06.920 play sports.
00:20:08.420 And with a pandemic so deadly, surely you would need all hands on deck in the healthcare system.
00:20:13.300 However, otherwise healthy, albeit unvaccinated healthcare workers are being fired all over
00:20:19.280 the place.
00:20:19.960 It's causing staffing shortages, fatigue, and canceled treatments for patients.
00:20:24.440 It's become such a problem that COVID positive yet vaccinated healthcare workers have been
00:20:29.820 called back to work while unvaccinated, but COVID negative, perfectly healthy healthcare
00:20:34.540 workers remain the new lepers in society.
00:20:37.780 And unions, which I'm told exist to protect the rights of the workers, well, they've been
00:20:42.360 largely asleep at the switch, siding so often with the employer against the fundamental rights
00:20:47.560 of the union dues paying membership.
00:20:49.900 That's why it's rare when you hear about a healthcare union taking on a grievance on behalf
00:20:55.220 of a fired, unvaccinated nurse.
00:20:57.720 Tamara Ugolini joins me now with the full story.
00:21:00.460 Tamara, I guess my first question is, after seeing so many of these grievances be denied,
00:21:06.800 why is the union taking this one up now?
00:21:09.320 Is it because of where she works, as in not necessarily in a hospital, but in a sort of a publicly
00:21:18.140 adjacent facility, kind of a private facility?
00:21:20.780 What's the deal here?
00:21:22.060 Mm-hmm.
00:21:22.980 Well, it's a great question because as we've seen all throughout the COVID pandemic is the
00:21:27.700 arbitrary enforcement of measures and decision-making that's happened all throughout that it leaves
00:21:35.220 you not really able to logically follow the train of thought in terms of who gets honored
00:21:40.420 and who doesn't.
00:21:42.080 In this particular instance, I think that the nurse is just a powerhouse.
00:21:47.020 I think that she has this amazingly well-sourced essay that she had written that she provided
00:21:54.360 to her union and sourced a lot of really good, strong legal points in terms of the Healthcare
00:22:00.220 Consent Act.
00:22:01.500 And I think we posted a link in my full report to the essay that she wrote, of course, leaving
00:22:07.000 out any of her identifiable features.
00:22:09.480 And so I would urge people to go and read that and be able to maybe lean into and recognize
00:22:17.060 where the advocacy work might be working in your favor and where, you know, like these
00:22:22.560 notices of liability, and I know we've touched on that many times before, might actually hinder
00:22:26.600 your potential to do some real advocacy work on the part of yourself.
00:22:31.480 And so that's all I, the only thing I can think of that makes sense here is that this woman
00:22:37.360 has just been such a powerhouse and such a good, strong advocate and sourcing some really
00:22:42.200 well-thought-out points that it's hard to ignore.
00:22:47.580 Yeah, I think she really left her union with no choice because she did so much of the legwork
00:22:53.200 on her own.
00:22:54.040 And again, a 20-page essay where she notes that she has robust natural immunity and she
00:23:03.880 still takes necessary precautions to mitigate infection risk.
00:23:08.160 She has no problem wearing PPE or getting tested routinely because we know the vaccinated and
00:23:15.640 the unvaccinated can both spread corona.
00:23:18.400 So she's actually following the science.
00:23:20.780 But I think she really, just by sheer pressure and will, she left her own union no choice
00:23:27.340 but to take up her cause.
00:23:29.660 Well, and that's a great point, too, that you make with the PPE and the testing is that
00:23:33.460 this reasonable alternatives being offered to employees, it can't, it's not ethical or
00:23:41.040 just to impose this vaccinate or be terminated.
00:23:45.000 Like, there needs to be some middle ground here.
00:23:47.580 It's not such a black and white situation, even though it has been throughout the pandemic
00:23:53.040 and especially since the vaccine rollout.
00:23:55.520 But what I think is a key takeaway here is that there needs to be some of that grey area
00:24:01.520 finessed and met that, you know, not everyone's just going to be satisfied with either being
00:24:07.540 vaccinated or being terminated.
00:24:08.900 That anyone who's willing and able to take reasonable precautions and if the PPE works,
00:24:15.940 well, then why is that not good enough?
00:24:18.680 If that's an actual preventative barrier in place to protect the vulnerable, who this particular nurse
00:24:24.640 has been in close contact for two and a half years and probably where she got her, obtained her natural
00:24:30.680 immunity, then if the PPE works so well and we're trusting the science on that, why isn't that good
00:24:35.600 enough, especially as we see in real time as the data comes out that, like you said, the vaccinated
00:24:41.040 and the unvaccinated are able to carry similar viral loads, carry and transmit the virus.
00:24:46.460 So I think that having this conception that the vaccine is, it's this false sense of security
00:24:54.980 and I think, again, just being able to be a strong advocate, stand by your convictions,
00:25:02.560 source things that are evidence-based and then also to ask questions that are reasonable
00:25:08.620 and if you're not getting the answers that you are looking for, then that's cause for concern
00:25:14.580 as well, both for the union and the employee, because how do you continue with your employment
00:25:18.920 in good faith if your request for clarification and for more information is being ignored?
00:25:26.120 Yeah, I think you make a great point that there is really no longer a justification for vaccine
00:25:32.660 mandates.
00:25:33.040 There never was as far as a civil liberties perspective, but for the pro-locker downers and
00:25:38.440 the pro-forced vaccinators, with the rise of the Omicron variant, which is completely
00:25:44.720 escaping the vaccines, the vaccines, most studies coming out say they really provide little
00:25:51.980 to no protection against the Omicron variant.
00:25:55.220 I think the employers and the governments are running out of time with their vaccine mandates
00:26:04.260 that they can no longer justify imposing them on normal people.
00:26:07.800 What are your predictions for the future going forward?
00:26:11.440 Well, it's so tough to say because every time that I think that things are starting to become
00:26:17.340 more rational and logical and I'm like, yes, we can see maybe the light at the end of this
00:26:21.840 tunnel here that we will get out of this catastrophic disaster, the noose tightens once again.
00:26:27.780 And so I don't know.
00:26:29.600 I mean, I do see a shift happening with a lot of people who, you know, they complied, they
00:26:34.700 did their part, they did everything that was asked of them.
00:26:36.720 And now they're still back at square one, which is here in Ontario, at least, lockdown,
00:26:41.580 firing, school closures.
00:26:43.320 And so I think that has prompted a lot of people to say, hold on a minute here.
00:26:47.280 Are we really trusting the science?
00:26:49.220 And if we are trusting the science, well, do we not believe that our vaccines worked and
00:26:53.160 we're protected?
00:26:53.800 Is this, you know, like what happens every year with the flu and why there's a new flu
00:26:58.940 vaccine every year that it tailors and it mutates and there's a new strain?
00:27:04.060 And are we signing up for that variant vaccine treadmill just continually every year?
00:27:10.820 I think a lot more people are starting to question now just what's going on and maybe it's prompted
00:27:16.200 them to start to do a little bit more of their own homework and see what other information is out
00:27:20.960 there that they're not necessarily hearing on the television.
00:27:25.760 Yeah, I think there's a lot of buyer's remorse.
00:27:27.860 There are a lot of people who didn't really care about civil liberties.
00:27:31.980 They didn't really care about whether or not their friends and neighbours were being
00:27:35.920 discriminated against, judge their character how you will for that sort of behaviour.
00:27:40.880 But there are a lot of people who said, okay, fine, I'll go along with the lockdowns.
00:27:46.480 I will be perfectly fine when my children's school is cancelled, their sports are cancelled.
00:27:51.220 I'll make them wear a mask.
00:27:53.240 I'll get my vaccination.
00:27:55.480 I'll get my second vaccination.
00:27:56.960 I'll get my third vaccination.
00:27:59.240 But they still ended up with Omicron and everything's still locked down.
00:28:02.200 And those people, I think, are getting a little bit mugged by reality.
00:28:07.040 And while I never rely on politicians to do the right thing, I think they do respond to
00:28:13.460 public opinion polling because they are not really principled people.
00:28:18.340 They just go whatever way the public trends go.
00:28:21.080 And I think the public trend, as you say, might be going in the direction of, hang on a minute,
00:28:27.460 none of this stuff is working.
00:28:30.240 I'm not sure, though.
00:28:32.200 Well, and that's the pendulum.
00:28:34.140 The pendulum will always swing either way.
00:28:36.740 And so it's just a matter of time before that pendulum comes back now and starts to swing
00:28:41.800 the other way.
00:28:43.140 And I'm so thankful for the internet in that regard because there are so many instances
00:28:48.040 where there were so many brave individuals at the onset of the pandemic that were speaking
00:28:52.680 out early on April, May 2020, saying, you know, this isn't evidence-based.
00:28:58.360 We already, after only a few months, we know who's at risk.
00:29:01.660 Let's target our approach, make it more balanced.
00:29:04.440 Let's get people who aren't at risk back to living normally.
00:29:07.800 And those opinions and thoughts were completely disregarded under the guise of all things veiled
00:29:13.140 as the science TM, as I like to call it.
00:29:15.680 And so that pendulum is now coming back the other way and it's swinging toward following
00:29:21.400 the actual science and the data because we have real world stats and data coming out now
00:29:27.760 that we didn't have two years ago.
00:29:29.280 It's just really sad that it took this long for that shift to happen because it damaged
00:29:36.280 in the meantime so many, obviously, businesses, family, children, their psychological health,
00:29:42.360 mental, emotional repercussions of some of these measures that continue, especially here
00:29:47.540 in Ontario, very heavily.
00:29:50.360 And so I just, I do agree that the polling is a big precursor to the politicians' response.
00:29:57.700 And I think that the media has played a huge role in shaping that public opinion.
00:30:05.280 And that is really, really concerning who they kind of handpick and choose who to feature
00:30:10.980 and who not to feature in terms of these experts, quote unquote.
00:30:16.180 The Nathan Stahls of the world.
00:30:18.940 Yeah, it's interesting that you could be cancelled three months ago for saying the stuff that Fauci
00:30:26.460 and many of our public health officials are saying now, all of us were saying all along,
00:30:32.300 there's a difference between dying with and dying of COVID.
00:30:37.340 But when you needed to pad the stats to make sure that Trump was a serial killer of grandparents,
00:30:43.360 then you measured them all together.
00:30:45.120 But now that Biden has more deaths on his watch than Trump, oh, wait, we need to break those
00:30:50.960 numbers apart to help Joe Biden and politicians all across the world who are now dealing with
00:30:58.160 the reality of their bad decisions.
00:31:00.180 Tamara, thank you so much for sticking with these stories and telling the stories of normal
00:31:05.140 people who were hurt for standing up and doing the right thing.
00:31:09.640 And I hope we never forget not only the sacrifices they made, but the things the politicians did to
00:31:16.900 them when they tried to defend their own rights.
00:31:19.800 I agree.
00:31:20.760 Well, thanks, Sheila.
00:31:21.540 And also for your work on all of the rebels work in this on this front.
00:31:26.020 It's really been a pleasure being part of it.
00:31:30.240 Yeah, it's been great to be able to advocate for the normals during all of this.
00:31:34.060 The people that the mainstream media just wants to shut up, go away, behave and follow the
00:31:39.080 rules.
00:31:39.540 Well, we just won't.
00:31:42.460 Tamara, thanks so much.
00:31:43.520 Have a great weekend.
00:31:45.320 Thanks, Sheila.
00:31:45.860 You as well.
00:31:46.340 Do you remember a few weeks ago when David Suzuki said that there could or would or should
00:31:58.300 be violence against pipelines?
00:32:00.620 He wasn't very clear.
00:32:02.480 Initially, he held his ground, refused to retract that.
00:32:06.720 But I don't know where the pressure came from, whether it's from the David Suzuki Foundation,
00:32:10.580 which for some reason is charitable status in Canada, or whether it's from the CBC.
00:32:15.240 But he eventually realized that he had simply gone too far, this multimillionaire, essentially
00:32:22.040 giving his moral blessing to eco-terrorism.
00:32:25.660 So he finally walked it back.
00:32:28.100 Well, not so at the CBC, Trudeau's state broadcaster.
00:32:34.300 In this great story on True North by Cosman, Georgia, it's revealed by Cosman's digging that
00:32:42.680 the CBC has just commissioned an anarchist who promotes violence, including videos like
00:32:51.660 one titled How to Paralyze a Country, Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster has hired an anarchist
00:33:00.060 to put together such a movie.
00:33:03.660 Well, friends, unlike the state broadcaster CBC, we do allow viewer feedback, the good,
00:33:08.500 the bad, the ugly, and the weird.
00:33:10.040 It's all there.
00:33:11.020 So let's take a look back at some of it from this past week.
00:33:14.240 On Ezra's monologue about CBC partnering with an anarchist to produce a documentary
00:33:19.300 about the opposition to the coastal gas link pipeline using the hereditary chiefs of the
00:33:24.200 Wet Sweat and Band to disenfranchise the elected band council and the people who voted for the
00:33:29.600 elected band council, Buecher writes on Rumble, Suzuki is a CBC employee, right?
00:33:36.700 What did he tell the world?
00:33:38.680 Pipelines will start blowing up if we don't do what he says.
00:33:42.060 Did the CBC fire him or denounce his threat?
00:33:45.080 That means the CBC agrees.
00:33:46.880 Well, I don't know if you know, but I do know a fair bit about David Suzuki because
00:33:52.040 I did write an unauthorized biography of David Suzuki and it was a national bestseller, but
00:33:58.120 you wouldn't know that if you got all your news from the horrible mainstream media.
00:34:02.940 And the latest Suzuki outburst should come as no surprise to people like myself who have
00:34:07.260 paid close attention to his wild behavior both in public and in private.
00:34:11.980 He's told us exactly who he is dozens, if not hundreds of times, beginning from when
00:34:17.920 he and his hippie trippy days compared humans to maggots.
00:34:21.460 The CBC knows everything I know.
00:34:23.660 And yet Suzuki was never fired or even scolded.
00:34:26.340 Those people that are aligned with these Muslim countries and that are advising our government
00:34:33.920 is doing the same thing, advising them not to touch this subject.
00:34:37.900 And it is the most shameful, most horror filled event of this century.
00:34:44.920 It is unquestionably the most harsh and tragic incident that is happening with the Uyghurs.
00:34:57.340 And I know why it's happening, because East Turkmenistan is the way from China to Pakistan, where they're
00:35:07.440 building highways and reaching warm waters.
00:35:10.660 So they don't want the East Turkmenistanis or the Uyghurs to raise any objections to them
00:35:20.180 building and passing through.
00:35:22.200 So they've taken the whole province to task.
00:35:25.980 And by the way, I don't know if a lot of viewers know this, that like Tibet, East Turkmenistan,
00:35:34.360 where the Uyghurs live, is also been occupied by China.
00:35:39.780 It was not originally a part of China.
00:35:41.880 So it is the most heinous of crimes happening right now as we speak.
00:35:50.480 And nobody, no Muslim country has ever raised this issue with China.
00:35:56.960 They're all pals.
00:35:57.900 They're all friends.
00:35:59.740 And they're all part of the Brotherhood Network.
00:36:04.220 So nobody is even questioning them.
00:36:07.180 Whereas if you slap a taxi driver, a Muslim in New York, all hell will break loose.
00:36:13.540 But the whole entire population is being punished for something that they have not, they don't
00:36:21.680 even know what they've done.
00:36:22.960 They're being wiped out.
00:36:24.300 And the United Nations Human Rights Council, which prides itself on human rights abuse, has
00:36:31.820 not taken this on as an issue.
00:36:34.220 Why?
00:36:35.020 Because the largest group there is the OIC, which is the Organization of Islamic Cooperation,
00:36:42.660 a group of Arab Muslim countries.
00:36:45.380 And they're not raising their voice.
00:36:47.540 So, I mean, as Sohail said, you have something small happening to a Muslim in a Western country
00:36:55.140 and all hell breaks loose.
00:36:56.920 Yet there is a genocide taking place against these Chinese Muslims.
00:37:01.220 But nobody cares.
00:37:02.920 On my interview with Raheel Raza and her husband Sohail about why the Western world is silent
00:37:08.220 on the Uyghur genocide in China, Galland 53 on Rumble writes,
00:37:12.100 Canadians know that Trudeau has his most admired dictatorship as his top priority, and anything
00:37:18.600 else he claims he stands for is mere woke posturing.
00:37:22.340 You know, you're probably right.
00:37:24.120 When Trudeau said at his Ladies' Night fundraiser years ago that China was his most admired
00:37:29.520 dictatorship, he wasn't joking.
00:37:31.480 It wasn't off the cuff.
00:37:32.900 He actually went on to justify and explain why he felt that way, that China had the ability
00:37:37.700 to introduce drastic green measures into their economy if they wanted.
00:37:41.560 Yeah, they're able to do that because they don't have to consider the will of the people
00:37:45.260 because China's a dictatorship.
00:37:48.280 That should have been our very first clue that Justin Trudeau never really actually cared
00:37:53.840 about human rights or civil liberties.
00:37:56.140 He won't shut up about the reproductive rights of women, which is code for abortion, but he's
00:38:01.400 completely silent as Uyghur Muslim women are forcibly sterilized by the CCP.
00:38:06.200 I actually don't even think that Justin Trudeau is all that sincere about the woke things
00:38:09.740 he keeps talking about.
00:38:11.560 He just wants to be hip and he wants to be liked by progressives, but also by China.
00:38:17.040 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wife, who reported what officials call mild flu-like
00:38:21.940 symptoms Wednesday night, was in London to attend a wee day gathering with her daughter,
00:38:26.700 Ella Grace, and her mother-in-law, Margaret Trudeau, on March 4th.
00:38:31.040 The Prime Minister's office issued a statement late Thursday confirming she has COVID-19.
00:38:36.860 Actor Idris Elba, pictured here with Sophie, also came down with a dose of the Rona after
00:38:42.620 that Kielberger super spreader event.
00:38:45.540 Now, just months after this, Trudeau's government handcrafted a sole source contract for the
00:38:51.060 Kielbergers worth $43 million to administer a nearly $1 billion government student bailout
00:38:58.040 program.
00:38:58.520 Anyway, the Prime Minister's wife travels at the start of the pandemic and comes back
00:39:03.140 with the COVID?
00:39:03.860 Oh, you just know.
00:39:04.820 I wanted to know all there is to know about this.
00:39:07.400 Now, let's get into it.
00:39:08.540 Page one.
00:39:09.300 Sophie wanted to stay at the Corinthia because that's where the celebrities stay.
00:39:12.960 I wonder if Idris Elba stayed there.
00:39:15.300 There are other suggestions of a hotel, but it was unacceptable since it didn't have the
00:39:19.720 spa amenities that Sophie requires.
00:39:22.580 Trip organizers wanted Sophie to get the full diplomatic clearance treatment for the visit.
00:39:28.120 But the Government of Canada said no since it was a private visit for her to go to a
00:39:32.620 WE event.
00:39:33.580 Look at this.
00:39:34.180 Program is being developed by the WE team.
00:39:37.300 On my video about Madam Sophie Trudeau insisting on diplomatic clearance and a taxpayer funded
00:39:42.880 credit card for her trip to London in March 2020 to attend the WE Day super spreader event,
00:39:48.420 wherein Sophie actually did come home with COVID-19.
00:39:52.980 Ace Race on Rumble writes,
00:39:55.440 Rules for thee and not for me is how the political elite live.
00:39:58.980 How many times are they caught without masks and doing things that we are not allowed to?
00:40:04.580 When will people open their eyes and see this sham for what it is?
00:40:09.020 The CDC now says paper and cloth masks are nothing more than decoration.
00:40:12.720 But how often did they demonize and shut down people on social media for saying these very
00:40:18.520 comments?
00:40:19.780 Open your eyes, people.
00:40:21.780 Not only did they demonize and shut down people for saying this stuff on social media, people
00:40:28.480 today are even still being issued tickets for not wearing useless paper and cloth masks
00:40:34.240 that the CDC now says are ineffective.
00:40:36.740 Because people were not actually punished for violating the science, as they say.
00:40:40.580 They were being punished because they were not controllable by the state.
00:40:45.160 They were being fined for the crime of being ungovernable.
00:40:49.000 Well, friends, that's the show for tonight.
00:40:50.500 I want to thank everybody for tuning in.
00:40:52.520 I want to thank our team in the Toronto head office for putting together this little series
00:40:56.940 of clips to produce a meaningful show for you all to watch.
00:41:00.440 I want to thank my friend David for trusting me in the driver's seat these last few weeks.
00:41:05.160 David will be back very, very soon.
00:41:07.420 And I want to thank everybody for their constant notes about how much they miss him and how
00:41:12.020 concerned they are for him.
00:41:13.740 Now, as David Menzies says, and I'm probably going to screw this one up somehow, but without
00:41:18.800 risk, there can be no glory.
00:41:20.700 Thank you.
00:41:31.980 Thank you.
