In this week's show, we look back at some of the best commentary from your favourite Rebels that are not me, your favorite Rebels, and look ahead to what's in store for next week's episode of Rebel Roundup.
00:07:23.480I don't have any sort of bad feelings towards people who try to use these things.
00:07:28.820Actually, I feel sad for them because I know how desperate they are that they are turning to these sort of quick fixes and snake oil.
00:07:36.820It's legal snake oil is what it really is.
00:07:38.760But people are desperate and they also can't believe that this is the world we live in.
00:07:46.660You know, 21 months ago, there was a rule of law.
00:07:51.780Politicians were required to respect the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but now we're locked in our homes.
00:07:57.420Politicians are telling us how many people we can have over for Christmas dinner and we can't even travel domestically without getting a medical procedure.
00:08:06.580So I understand how people end up in this particular mindset.
00:08:10.200Well, that's just it, Sheila, is like, I think that we've coined this term before.
00:08:15.380They're desperate for some hopium, something to cling to, to say, OK, this is your ticket to get out of this madness.
00:08:21.000But the really unfortunate thing and the saddest part, at least in my realization, was that this actually just makes you look really silly because there's no grit and because there's no there's nothing to actually move forward to hold these people accountable with some paper.
00:08:37.940Like Suzanne mentioned, you know, if someone was robbing you, taking your purse and you say, hey, wait, stop that.
00:08:44.440I have this notice of liability. And if that was enough to make them stop stealing your money and taking your purse, well, then no one would ever engage in crime.
00:08:52.460And so I think that the consensus seems to be that these notices of liability are maybe a good stepping stone.
00:09:00.080So you kind of start there. It's more for the public record just to let someone know that you're not agreeing with what they're doing and that you're prepared then to litigate further.
00:09:09.440But you have to be prepared to take those next steps.
00:09:11.740And like Suzanne mentioned, you have to have a solid case that's not just rooted in emotion.
00:09:16.760And I don't like this. There has to be some sort of damage or monetary value that's been been compromised or taken from you.
00:09:24.580So especially with job loss. So I think what ends up happening is that people aren't necessarily prepared to take that next step and they don't realize that this notice of liability in and of itself isn't going to give them the end result that they're hoping for.
00:09:39.600I mean, in some instances, I guess, very rare, you know, it's they push back.
00:09:44.880It's like sending those demand letters or those threat letters that pushes back the deadline on some of these things.
00:09:51.460But you do need to be prepared to go the next step.
00:09:55.120And you should consult with an actual lawyer, because if this is just stamped as me, the person to marry you, Bellini, they're going to say, oh, good luck.
00:10:19.840For me, also, I have a real problem with some of the the self-appointed gurus of the sort of homemade legal system framework.
00:10:32.380My problem with them is that they are very low liability.
00:10:37.200They can give desperate people really bad advice to take into a courtroom so that they lose a case, get an enormous fine and ruin their life potentially.
00:10:49.680And the person who gave the bad advice just moves on to the next person.
00:10:56.420And that's what really bothers me in all of this.
00:10:58.480I call them low liability legal gurus because that's what it is.
00:11:03.380They get the fame, the fortune and the admiration while somebody else deals with the consequences.
00:11:11.620And so that was another angle that Suzanne kind of pointed out to me off off the record.
00:11:17.280There is one individual in particular, and I'm not going to dox them, but they're working for a group that essentially does this legal homemade lawyering and spreads a lot of this information, disseminates it out to the Canadian public.
00:11:28.160And you can look, anyone can go and find this.
00:11:31.200It's canlie, C-A-N-L-I-I dot org, I believe it is.
00:11:35.840And so there's there's all of the case, previous case counts or case documents in that on that website.
00:11:43.480And so if you go in and you search some of these names of the people that are giving you this advice, check their credibility for yourself, because you can see that certain individuals do not have a good track record with this, these cases, and they are potentially not in good standing with the law association.
00:12:02.520So, I mean, that's a simple thing that people can just look for themselves and say, hey, let's check this person out.
00:12:08.600And it's sad because I don't think people are doing their due diligence because they're so desperate for hope and something to rein this back in.
00:12:15.700But the biggest takeaway for me from Suzanne's interview was the fact that she mentions that time is actually on our side.
00:12:23.420So, yes, the wheels of justice are slow moving.
00:12:25.800It takes a long time to get things heard and through the court.
00:12:28.560However, six months ago, we didn't know that these injections were unsafe and we didn't have the data that showed all the adverse reactions.
00:12:37.440We didn't have the data that showed that they don't prevent transmission or infection.
00:12:41.020So as more credible science comes out, because that's science, it's always continually evolving, a lot of these legalities will actually work in your favor for a good case and setting good precedence.
00:12:55.700You know, that's a really great point, too.
00:12:58.100A good legal case sets precedent and a bad one also sets precedent for everybody else.
00:13:03.940And one of the things I'm so proud of the work that we do in partnership with the Democracy Fund is when we are fighting these legal battles, we publish all of our legal documents so you can see the good, thorough work that our lawyers are doing because they do work really hard.
00:13:21.320And as Ezra always says, you kind of get what you pay for when you're getting a lawyer.
00:13:44.400Well, actually, that's funny that you mentioned it because I just spoke with Suzanne yesterday and I'm hoping to do an update video because a lot of people have reached out to me since that interview was aired.
00:13:53.220And they're saying, well, we're left even more discouraged than we were before.
00:14:26.960And it doesn't make it any less insane and unfortunate.
00:14:31.600But be prepared and try to be patient because there are a lot of really good, strong lawyers and groups working behind the scenes to rein this back in.
00:14:44.560So just being patient and knowing that there are a lot of people working behind the scenes to set that good, solid precedent and move forward into 2022.
00:14:55.540Thanks so much for working so hard to bring people to straight facts, whether it's on legal issues or on vaccine issues or on mandate issues.
00:15:04.880You're the one, I think, in the company that does the most amount of work to just get people the information that they cannot get anywhere else.
00:15:13.660And you're talking to the experts all over the place.
00:18:58.420Because We Care is the motto of WestJet, which apparently they've completely abandoned.
00:19:02.980They're the second largest air carrier in the country.
00:19:05.380But they've also moved to terminate unvaccinated employees or employees who are simply unwilling to divulge their vaccination status to their direct managers.
00:19:15.140Now employees who have been with the company for years,
00:19:17.460Employees who have built the company from the ground up are on unpaid leave.
00:19:22.420Which, as you know, is basically constructive dismissal.
00:20:41.040Some set to retire as early as November of next year.
00:20:44.980So these are people who have built the company.
00:20:46.980Furthermore, some of these people said they've actually spoken with some of the president, CEOs, higher up people because they called them not long ago, just before COVID, saying, well, you're the people who are out in the field.
00:20:58.480You're the people who are building this company.
00:21:03.100So I think that was back to the WestJet Cares era with the onset of COVID.
00:21:07.760Like so many companies who were beloved and very often very decent to their employees, as COVID set in, they've been throwing people out left, right and center like they've done absolutely nothing for them.
00:21:20.780I think on the note of betrayal, one of the things that really sort of struck me the most is lots of these people are not even receiving notification of termination.
00:21:29.280They're just actually like this is sickening.
00:21:31.300They're being locked out of their accounts.
00:21:33.220I know the case that we're working on with a WestJet client was Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers through fightvaccinepassports.com.
00:21:41.300She actually, the client that she's dealing with, she just found out because she couldn't log into her accounts and they were effectively terminated.
00:21:49.860So betrayal is the fitting word, certainly.
00:21:53.000And it seems, and again, from the outside looking in, sort of antithetical to the culture of WestJet or what we knew to be the culture of WestJet.
00:22:00.260WestJet has always been resistant to unionization.
00:22:03.220Because they took care of their employees.
00:22:05.640They didn't need a union to tell them how to treat their employees properly.
00:22:09.120If I recall, WestJet employees used to be able to buy shares of the company and the companies would match those shares for them.
00:22:17.320So, you know, they really treated the employees like they were owners, but not so much anymore, hey?
00:22:23.640And I know that that may have changed sort of gradually over time.
00:22:26.820There are some employees who are unionized, some who are not.
00:22:29.620But this whole, in addition to the caring slogans that are thrown about, is owner's care.
00:22:34.860And they're very much a company that was proud that some of their higher-ups were people who worked through the company and that their people were buying in.
00:22:41.320One of the stories of one of the people we talked with, she actually used some of her share equity.
00:22:47.500She took it out and then she was sending her son through piloting school because she wanted him to work for WestJet.
00:22:54.540That's the extent to which the people love this company.
00:22:57.900And for that to be thrown away without consideration is reprehensible.
00:23:03.620And obviously, as you see in the videos, it's extremely upsetting.
00:23:07.280Everyone we spoke with was crying, every single one of them.
00:23:10.760It was a very difficult interview, as you can certainly see in the video.
00:23:14.540Now, something interesting just came out in the last, I don't know, 36 hours by the time this video goes to air.
00:23:21.000Justin Trudeau has issued a travel advisory suggesting Canadians refrain from non-essential travel.
00:23:31.860They issued a strong statement in opposition to it.
00:23:35.860WestJet suggests that Canada's recommendations on travel are, quote, this is my favorite,
00:23:40.300not based on science and data and significantly undermines aviation's proven safety record.
00:23:46.460Their statement also calls the measures a setback in Canada's progress in the country's successful transition from relying on blanket advisories and policies.
00:23:55.940I would tend to agree with WestJet here, but their forced vaccination, no job, no job, no jab policy also flies in the face of science.
00:24:06.920Since those WestJet flight attendants and other employees, they were able to work successfully for now, 21 months, safely, no problems.
00:24:17.120And now they're being fired because they won't get the jab.
00:24:20.920Well, and this is the thing that's shocking on the anti-science front is numerous of these people we spoke with were flight attendants.
00:24:27.900And they worked through SARS, H1N1, the swine flu.
00:24:33.820If there's so much, as they joked one time that they found blue mold on a cheese on an airplane and they actually had to stop and scrub the whole airplane.
00:24:42.820So this is a very regulated sanitary industry that deals with transmissible diseases on a wide scale.
00:24:50.120So they were working through this no problem.
00:24:52.000It wasn't until vaccine companies started selling vaccines that this suddenly became a concern.
00:24:57.120But let's say you are entirely on board with vaccines.
00:25:40.120Like, this is just an absolutely ridiculous case.
00:25:42.760And WestJet needs to shake their head because it's unscientific on so many fronts.
00:25:46.540Some of the other cases were people who have antibodies and paid for the testing themselves have gotten COVID, whether through the line of work or outside.
00:25:55.780But these aren't people who are just saying, I'm not doing this because I don't want to.
00:25:59.880Which, if you want to say that, you should be able to.
00:28:29.380One, getting rid of skilled employees who've worked for the company for years, who have done everything right, that is going to affect your bottom dollar.
00:28:38.640Throwing them out in such a dramatic fashion where you're not giving them any severance, you're not even notifying them, you're just cancelling their accounts and shutting them off.
00:29:04.840So Fight Vaccine Passports is the place to go.
00:29:07.700There is a video and perhaps we can toss a link to it or you can look it up with Sarah Miller talking about the case.
00:29:13.900We're just sorting out some details with that client as well.
00:29:16.080So we will be doing an interview with them shortly.
00:29:18.820But they are effectively a client who has been working from home for years, has no contact with other people and is therefore unwilling to be vaccinated.
00:29:28.020We'll get into more details in a detailed interview.
00:29:30.260But another one of these crazy cases where this person has been working from home, doing everything right, no contact with everybody.
00:29:36.620And again, without even so much as a phone call to say thanks for your service, they've been shown the door.
00:29:43.260But I think ultimately what we mean is our viewers are taking this on.
00:29:46.400The donations at FightVaccinePassports.com that go to the Democracy Fund, which is a registered Canadian charity, so you get a tax receipt for that.
00:29:55.180Those funds hire lawyers to defend these people who are being bullied.
00:29:59.760Listen, if you can chip in $10, if you can chip in $100, if you can make a big donation to that, it's all being locked in to that registered charity.
00:30:10.040It's being used to hire lawyers to stand up for these people.
00:30:14.400I think that this is likely the biggest civil liberties thing, period, happening in Canada right now.
00:30:22.280And it's entirely possible because of our viewers.
00:30:25.060So if you're someone who's outraged by how these WestJet employees were treated, if you're someone who's watched some of the police officers, the firefighters, the frontline workers, as Sheila said,
00:30:34.140the people who have been thrown out after being heroes for 18, 20 months.
00:30:39.660If you're outraged, go to FightVaccinePassports.com because this is where we draw our line in the sand, and this is where we say enough is enough, and we're going to see them in court, and we're going to hold these companies accountable.
00:30:50.380Yeah, and it's the right time of the year to capitalize on that charitable tax credit through that partnership with the Democracy Fund.
00:30:56.740So it helps your charitable tax donation make a difference in your tax bill and just introduction, get any more of your money than is absolutely necessary.
00:31:06.680And as you rightly point out, we're just the vehicle by which we connect the people with the legal help that they need.
00:31:13.980We often hear the thank yous from the clients, but really the thank yous belong to everybody who donates at FightVaccinePassports or at Fight the Fines.
00:31:24.700All that money goes to the Democracy Fund to help people.
00:31:29.660There are Canadians helping total strangers because they care so deeply about civil liberties, and it is, you know, to hear the gratitude from these people, it sure fills my tank up to keep me fighting on another day.
00:31:45.120Adam, I want to thank you so much for the work that you do for Canadian workers and in the interest of civil liberties.
00:32:07.720Today, however, I'm not telling you about the thousands upon thousands of your dollars that Justin Trudeau and his friends spend on booze in the sky, nor the hundreds of thousands of dollars they spend on food, but rather how the in-flight movies are causing controversy.
00:32:31.140At least two of them were deemed not suitable for our female governor general at the time, Julie Payette.
00:32:36.940Now, for some reason, the Department of National Defense sent us the list of movies available to the prime minister and his VIP friends to watch when they're on the government challengers.
00:32:48.940The D&D didn't even send us the whole list.
00:33:37.440And why do these government bureaucrats think they need to go about the business of pre-censoring movies for the Lady Governor General?
00:33:45.120I'm pretty sure she can make her own mind up about what she wants to watch on a flight.
00:33:50.100Think whatever you want about Julie Payette, and I certainly do.
00:33:53.820But the Queen's representative in Canada at the time is an autonomous adult woman who doesn't need a feminist government and their bureaucratic enablers telling her what she can't cast her pretty little eyes upon, that it might angry up her blood.
00:34:08.560And also, again, I'm just dying to know what those movies were, and specifically what genre they fell under and what rating were they given.
00:34:19.500Feminism for Justin Trudeau is when you fire prickly women you can't control, and wherein you have bureaucrats tell other women what they can't watch on a flight.
00:34:29.920You know, you don't have to like the former Governor General Julie Payette, and it's my impression, frankly, that many people don't like her.
00:34:37.380And I'm not even sure that I like her.
00:34:39.560But what I do know is that it doesn't matter whatsoever in this story, because she's a fully formed adult woman capable of making up her own mind about what she can or cannot watch without some paternalistic so-called male feminist telling her she cannot watch certain things.
00:34:56.340And what on earth was so inappropriate that other adults couldn't see it?
00:35:05.740Every single politician I have seen who wears their morality on their sleeve is guilty of the exact thing they claim to be against.
00:35:14.460You mean like Justin Trudeau fighting racism while doing blackface so many times that he lost count at three?
00:35:21.440Or claiming to be a feminist while bullying prickly women out of their jobs?
00:35:25.880Or do you mean like the male feminist Dion Buse who punched my camera into my face at the Women's March while his female enablers helped him escape?
00:36:04.740It only makes me more curious and that's why I'm going to keep looking and keep filing until I find out what those titles were.
00:36:13.140Well, friends, I think that's enough from me.
00:36:15.180I want to thank David for letting me stand in for him tonight.
00:36:18.160I want to thank the team in Toronto for putting together the hodgepodge of videos I sent them into something for our viewers at home to watch.
00:36:26.020I think David will be back in the big chair next week.
