Transcript

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at
00:00:04.700 some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:11.480 What in blue hell is going on at that mysterious National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg? You know,
00:00:19.940 the lab that apparently has a cozy relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Well,
00:00:26.200 as Sheila Gunn-Reed found out with her Freedom of Information request, the federal government is
00:00:32.100 hell-bent on keeping this information secret. Sheila will join me to speculate on why the
00:00:39.020 Justin Trudeau Liberals are being so non-transparent. And the number of illegal aliens waltzing into
00:00:46.740 Canada at Roxham Road, it's still an ongoing issue, folks. But get this, the majority of so-called
00:00:53.540 irregular migrants illegally crossing the border are actually unvaccinated. And apparently the
00:01:01.420 Justin Trudeau Liberals are just fine with this breach of COVID-19 protocols. Alexa Lavois has
00:01:08.520 all the infuriating details. And letters, we get your letters, we get your letters every minute of
00:01:14.460 every day. And I'll share some of your responses about my story regarding a PR disaster for the
00:01:22.040 ages. Namely, the brutal way in which Toronto's Steam Whistle Brewery tried to distance itself
00:01:28.660 from the Pierre Polyev rally it hosted earlier this month. Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.
00:01:35.660 Two scientists from China were removed from Winnipeg's National Microbiology Laboratory July 2019 and they
00:01:53.800 were later fired by the agency. So the Conservative Party, well, they've been asking for documents that
00:02:00.200 they think will contain details about whether the firing of the scientists was linked to the fact that
00:02:05.060 four months prior to the scientists having their security clearances revoked, one of two of them
00:02:10.400 sent a shipment of Ebola and Hennepa viruses to the Wuhan Institute of Virology back in March 2019.
00:02:17.300 That's the same lab that is now credibly accused of releasing either on purpose or by accident the
00:02:22.460 coronavirus that went on to cause a global pandemic. It's also the same lab that Justin Trudeau gave nearly
00:02:28.760 900,000 of your dollars to do coronavirus research at the beginning of the pandemic. Now we'll get back
00:02:35.940 to these specific documents that the Conservatives want in a second. We knew a note existed wherein the
00:02:42.460 Public Health Agency of Canada had sent a memo to their staff about the Winnipeg Free Press and their
00:02:49.200 coverage of what was unfolding at the Winnipeg Lab, but we didn't know the details of the memo. The
00:02:55.060 government's response to me, as you'll see in a second, is confirmation that that memo exists, but
00:02:59.400 I'm not sure I'm ever going to get a chance to see it. However, I tried. Unbelievable. The Justin Trudeau
00:03:06.480 Liberals actually ordered the deletion of a Public Health Agency document in order to avoid releasing it
00:03:15.000 to Rebel News. And the ostensible policy reason for this censorship is due to the file containing
00:03:23.520 personal information. Oh, give me a break. So it is. The question arises, just what the hell is going on
00:03:33.960 at this Winnipeg Lab? And here's another question. Why is it that this federal government, which is
00:03:40.080 supposed to be all about transparency, is going out of its way to suppress information, information
00:03:48.220 that the public has the right to know? And joining me now to take a deep dive into this secrecy is our chief
00:03:56.260 reporter, Sheila Gunn-Reed. How are you doing, Sheila?
00:03:59.980 David, I'm great. Thanks for having me on the show.
00:04:01.820 It's always a pleasure. Sheila, as you stated in your superb report, if there are privacy issues with government
00:04:10.140 documents, those sections of the report can be easily redacted to whichever thus. This isn't something
00:04:17.620 new, isn't it? I mean, the deletion of an entire file. We've never heard of this before. What do you
00:04:25.820 think, Sheila, is the real reason that the government is so terrified for this Winnipeg lab information to be
00:04:35.400 released publicly? It's the cover-up of the cover-up, is what I think. Because the document
00:04:42.400 that I was asking for was about what the Public Health Agency of Canada managers were telling their
00:04:50.760 staff to do or say in the event that they were contacted by the Winnipeg Free Press in their
00:04:57.420 investigation of what happened at the Winnipeg lab. So by deleting the document and admitting they
00:05:04.780 deleted the document, that's an admission that the document exists, or at least existed, and that
00:05:12.160 they were telling their staff to say certain things to the media to, I don't know, my assumption is to
00:05:20.180 obscure what really happened, to hide what really happened, and to hide what Public Health Agency of
00:05:26.160 Canada knew about what was going on at the Winnipeg lab and when they knew it.
00:05:30.360 You know, Sheila, I mean, maybe, just maybe, everything is kosher there, but I'm going to tell
00:05:36.640 you this. The optics stink. You know, what was happening in that lab and people being escorted
00:05:44.720 out and, you know, not only having samples of coronavirus, but as you mentioned in your report,
00:05:50.940 Ebola. And all of a sudden, there's all this, you know, secrecy and deflection and going to
00:05:59.740 outrageous lengths to suppress freedom of information requests by media outlets. I'm telling
00:06:06.340 you, as I said in the preamble, the optics stink, Sheila. They definitely do. I mean, this isn't just
00:06:16.060 Chinese scientists sending Ebola somewhere, which is bad enough as it is. They were sending Ebola to
00:06:23.300 the Wuhan Virology Institute, which is the Chinese biolab that's military run in Wuhan at the site of
00:06:31.920 what is credibly accused of being the site of the coronavirus epidemic, the sort of center of it.
00:06:40.320 So there's that too. But I also, just the other day, I came across some order paper question documents
00:06:48.220 about, you know, how the media or how the government is supposed to treat media. And they
00:06:52.920 gave me the breakdown by agency. And the Public Health Agency of Canada, under the purview of
00:06:59.940 health, said that they treat all media outlets fairly and they do their best to be transparent
00:07:07.360 and answer all these questions. Well, not only are they treating me unfairly by deleting this document,
00:07:12.620 but they were also obviously doing something to treat the Winnipeg free press unfairly by sending
00:07:20.380 around this internal note to give directive to their staff about how to deal with the Winnipeg free
00:07:25.820 press if they came in knocking. And, you know, the idea that this contains personal information,
00:07:32.580 so we'll delete it instead of redact it. That's crazy because in a second set of documents,
00:07:39.280 the ones that the Conservatives are currently fighting the Liberal government to get access to,
00:07:46.100 we know that this agency has no problem redacting documents and then releasing them
00:07:52.140 regarding what happened at the Winnipeg lab because the Conservatives right now are fighting to get
00:07:57.780 access to unredacted documents about what unfolded at the lab. The Public Health Agency of Canada has done
00:08:06.200 something sneaky, though. They said, OK, here's your unredacted documents. We're going to give them
00:08:11.560 to the National Security Committee, which means they will never see the light of day because that's a
00:08:16.260 high security clearance committee. Those documents will never be made public and will give a second
00:08:21.700 set of completely redacted documents to the Canada-China Relations Committee. So they don't have a
00:08:29.820 problem redacting documents before release, specifically on this issue. They just didn't want me to see,
00:08:36.380 I think, evidence of the cover-up. So the cover-up of the cover-up is what I would have seen.
00:08:42.220 It is surreal. It's Kafka-esque, if you ask me, Sheila. But I want to address, I think you made a really good
00:08:49.900 point about the Winnipeg Free Press also getting the bums rush. That raises more alarm bells for me
00:08:57.780 because the Winnipeg Free Press, that's government-funded media. This is kind of like a trained
00:09:03.340 seal misbehaving. It's not bouncing the ball on its nose. But when we know the hatred towards rebel news
00:09:11.460 by this government, it's downright visceral. But they do accommodate the mainstream media here.
00:09:16.760 Not in this case. And I'm telling you, Sheila, this makes it sound and look all the more dire to me
00:09:23.920 in terms of what the hell's going on in that lab. Well, and I think it also speaks to our commitment
00:09:29.940 to the free press, in this case, the Winnipeg Free Press. Regardless of, you know, the fact that we are
00:09:37.280 critics and friendly competitors with these people and critics of how they get their funding, I still
00:09:43.340 think Winnipeg Free Press should have access to information without the Public Health Agency of
00:09:48.820 Canada telling their staff to snow the information and only release certain amounts of information
00:09:54.220 and taking direction on how to deal with the media and what information should be released to Winnipeg
00:10:00.180 Free Press. That's why I went looking for this document. I went looking for this document for two
00:10:05.180 reasons. One, because I'm genuinely curious about what's going on at the Winnipeg Lab. But I also have an
00:10:12.020 interest in defending the rights of journalists to be able to get access to documents. So I wanted to
00:10:17.500 know just how bad the treatment of Winnipeg Free Press was. Unfortunately, I couldn't see it. And
00:10:23.900 let this be a lesson to the Winnipeg Free Press. I'll go to bat for you. Maybe you'll do it for us for
00:10:28.060 once. Don't bet on that. I'm talking crazy. But the thing is, unlike trying to get, I don't know,
00:10:37.200 expenses for one of Justin Trudeau's world trips around the globe. This is quite literally a matter of life
00:10:46.820 and death, Sheila. The substances that they are dealing with at this Winnipeg Lab, the viruses. And I mean, if
00:10:54.620 anyone wants to read an incredible book about how dangerous these kind of viruses are, get the demon in the
00:11:01.960 freezer. It is an incredible book. I don't have time to delve into it. But like I said, it's potentially
00:11:09.160 life and death. Now, I'm not saying they're doing things so loosey-goosey there that we might have an
00:11:13.540 accidental outbreak of Ebola. But by this kind of cover-up, I think, Sheila, the government is doing
00:11:22.740 itself a disservice. This only feeds the fodder of crazy conspiracy theories about what's going on there.
00:11:30.440 So come on, tell the truth. Have full disclosure. In fact, Sheila, you recall, I'm sure,
00:11:38.360 2015, when Justin Trudeau won his first mandate, the very first things out of his mouth was how
00:11:45.640 this government was going to be the most transparent government in Canadian history. I would suggest
00:11:51.860 it's the absolute opposite. Sheila, last word goes to you.
00:11:56.000 Well, the allegation, I think, is not that they were doing loosey-goosey things as a matter of
00:12:03.200 rule at the Winnipeg lab. However, there is some implication that perhaps these two Chinese scientists
00:12:08.960 were. But where they sent those viruses, they have a long history of being loosey-goosey with the rules
00:12:15.820 to the fact that American inspectors, people who had visited that lab, sent cables back,
00:12:23.220 diplomatic cables back to the United States saying, holy heck, things are really bad here.
00:12:29.360 We need to keep a careful eye on what's happening at the Wuhan Virology Institute. And that was sort of
00:12:36.040 in the days before the pandemic struck, that they were already well on the Americans' radar for
00:12:42.740 lapse in protocol happening at that lab. And that's where the Canadian Ebola samples went. So
00:12:49.360 that should be very concerning to, I guess, the entire world. Because a lot of these viruses,
00:12:54.660 the Western world doesn't even have any exposure to, let alone immunity.
00:12:58.280 Yeah, it is shocking, Sheila. I certainly do not trust China. And I do not trust this Wuhan
00:13:06.740 Virology Lab. There's also something stinking in Wuhan, too, in terms of how this pandemic created.
00:13:15.400 And look at the price we've paid. Millions have died, thousands infected, economic damage in the
00:13:22.360 untold trillions of dollars. And right now, no one's coming to the plate to apologize or at least offer
00:13:29.260 an explanation of what's going on. This is an outrage, Sheila. I want to thank you again for an
00:13:34.360 incredible report. I wish the mainstream media was picking up this in addition to just the Winnipeg
00:13:40.820 Free Press. But I guess they've got better things to do. Have a great weekend, my friend. I'll see
00:13:46.520 you next week.
00:13:47.960 Thanks, David. You too.
00:13:49.060 Okay. And that was Sheila Gunn-Reid somewhere in the northern hinterland of Alberta. Keep it here,
00:13:55.960 folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:13:59.500 Roxanne Road, a mysterious place located between the border of Saint-Bernard-de-la-Colle and
00:14:09.360 Emingford, where immigrants go every day to be arrested for entering the country illegally.
00:14:16.880 Why do they choose this route instead of a legal entry point? An agreement has been made between
00:14:26.060 the government of Canada and the United States to cooperate in the verification of refugee
00:14:33.640 statute requests made by incoming migrants. But this agreement only applies to ports of
00:14:42.160 entry that are located at a legal land border. So this has led to a massive increase in irregular
00:14:52.000 entries into Canada, especially since 2017, when Justin Trudeau told the word that everyone was
00:15:01.600 welcome if they were feeling unsafe under the Trump administration. That is when the media really
00:15:11.280 started to pay attention. At that time, what is now a daily police operation, the facilities had the end of
00:15:21.920 Roxanne Road consisted of only a few tents and metal gates. The astronomical increase in
00:15:32.480 migrant crossing at this illegal entry point prompted the government to build better facilities, including
00:15:42.160 a police station, which was originally intended to be temporary. This port of entry is in Quebec, where citizens
00:15:53.760 have been subjected to the strictest help measure since the pandemic began. Currently, Quebec remains the only place in
00:16:04.240 North America that still required people to wear masks in public place. Yet, thousands of people cross
00:16:14.400 Roxanne Road with no negative PCR tests required. The Department of Health recently reported that over 60% of these
00:16:26.960 irregular migrants are not vaccinated. So there you have it, folks, if you are a law abiding tax paying citizen who is
00:16:36.400 unvaccinated, well, you can't get on a plane or a train or a boat. But if we're talking unvaccinated illegal aliens, not only will law enforcement allow them to unlawfully cross the border,
00:16:51.520 but the cops will also even carry their suitcases and bags bellhop style for these so-called irregular visitors.
00:17:00.960 Oh, and let's not forget, there's also free room and board for these illegal aliens as well. Courtesy of you, the taxpayer, welcome to Justin Trudeau's Canada, which penalizes the makers and rewards the takers.
00:17:17.060 And joining me now to weigh in on this ongoing egregious situation at the Quebec-New York state border is Alexa Lavoie. Bonjour, Alexa.
00:17:29.460 Bonjour.
00:17:30.500 You know, I think that was a wonderful piece. I think you knocked it out of the park yet again, Alexa. But, you know, even if you believed in this kind of asylum, right, you would think that in this day and age of COVID,
00:17:44.780 you know, where all the policies and regulations and laws that have been drafted in the past two years, it was all about public safety. That's why we're taking your rights away from you.
00:17:56.680 So why is it that unvaccinated illegal aliens can enter Canada easy peasy, but we're not allowed to hop on a plane?
00:18:08.060 I can't get on a train. I can't get on a train to visit you in Quebec City. Why the hypocrisy here, Alexa?
00:18:15.380 Well, of course, like, we know that we are facing like a double standard again, once again.
00:18:21.380 For the seeking asylum, you know, that that increased immigration. So more votes for the Liberal Party. So probably the main reason why.
00:18:35.300 But especially when we look at the legal immigration, when we see that it takes about three years to see maybe the application to be accepted.
00:18:48.620 I'm not really surprised that most of people are using the illegal immigration that take like, what, a couple of minutes?
00:18:56.560 You know, I think you're right. Going back to your original point, Alexa, I think this is all about changing the demographics of Canada,
00:19:12.020 much like in the United States with the Biden administration, where the southern border is a sieve.
00:19:17.520 Thousands and thousands of illegal migrants coming in and then even being placed on planes, typically to go to red states in order to hopefully in the future change them in the blue states.
00:19:31.240 I think that's exactly what's going on with the Justin Trudeau Liberals. Kind of an unspoken gentleman's agreement.
00:19:37.580 We let you into the country. No questions asked. And what we want in return is every four years or so, make sure you check Team Red and vote Liberal.
00:19:46.740 What do you think, Alexa? Is that what is occurring here?
00:19:52.680 Well, I think it's actually what is going on now, because most of the Canadians are leaving Canada anymore because they cannot support what is going on in the authoritarian government that we have right now.
00:20:06.820 So most of the Canadians are leaving Canada for being replaced by immigrants who will actually respect the law and everything that what the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, will tell them to do.
00:20:22.160 Vote for me, gut vax, and as well comply to digital identity, and everything will be fine for you.
00:20:33.040 And, you know, Alexa, I want to make it clear. I'm not against immigration.
00:20:38.400 Given our pathetic birth rate in Canada, we're getting older. We're not replacing the population through natural birth.
00:20:47.500 So we really do need immigrants to come in. Otherwise, we're in a real demographic bomb in the decades ahead.
00:20:55.200 However, there is a proper way to come into Canada, and I think by these people jumping the queue, and I don't even think most of them are genuine refugees, Alexa.
00:21:09.180 I think it's a slap in the face to those people all around the world that are abiding by the rules, immigrating to Canada.
00:21:18.240 It takes years. It takes money. And this liberal government is saying, well, hey, sucker, look what you could have done.
00:21:25.060 You just needed to go to Roxham Road, and you're in. Your thoughts?
00:21:28.400 And especially, like, it's crazy when we see during the parliament, they were talking about the immigrant, and they were saying that they were paying for the hotel room for quarantine.
00:21:41.800 And now, like, Montreal, I have no space for them, for lodging them anymore, because it's overloaded.
00:21:49.580 And where do we go afterwards? And do they sign something when they cross illegally, like, for, like, maybe a treaty with the government?
00:22:00.220 We don't know. Everything is, like, so obscure.
00:22:02.800 And indeed, Alexa, as I understand it, with a critical mass of these illegal migrants coming into Canada, irregulars, as Justin Trudeau calls them,
00:22:16.240 I buy irregular socks to get a discount. I've never referred to people as irregulars.
00:22:22.840 But evidently, they're given a date in the future, months down the road, to come for their refugee hearing.
00:22:31.340 And guess what? So many don't even bother to show up. We don't know where they are.
00:22:35.780 Is this not problematic? Because at the end of the day, Alexa, we don't know who these people are.
00:22:41.300 Maybe some are genuine refugees fleeing tyranny, but maybe some have nefarious intentions.
00:22:49.900 Maybe some are just gaming the system to get a free ride. I think this is outrageous.
00:22:55.140 And this is making me more outrageous when I look at, now they want to impose to Canadians, I will tell you, the digital identity.
00:23:08.000 I'm coming back on that because they say that is a tool for the national security for the entrance of the traveler into Canada.
00:23:15.520 But what about them?
00:23:17.040 Yeah. You know, like you said, it's a double standard, Alexa. It is hypocrisy.
00:23:24.120 And, you know, there's so many other angles I'd like to touch upon, but we're running out of room here.
00:23:29.000 I want to, you know, address something that's, I think, the crux of the matter.
00:23:34.900 And it's this. These people are coming from New York State.
00:23:38.140 And last time I checked, New York State was part of the United States of America.
00:23:42.200 And we know that they are on a, in a country, especially with this Biden administration, that is turning a blind eye to illegal immigrants.
00:23:54.380 In fact, they want illegal immigrants to come into their nation.
00:23:58.160 So it's not as though in America they're being rounded up and incarcerated for life and tortured.
00:24:04.160 That is a safe place for them.
00:24:06.720 Given that, I don't understand why we are turning a blind eye.
00:24:12.180 We are not turning them back at the border because there is no harm for them, whether they're a genuine refugee or whether they're an economic migrant gaming the system.
00:24:22.140 Last word goes to you, Alexa.
00:24:24.900 My last word will be like, if you look at 2017 and when we were looking that it was only temporary tent.
00:24:31.900 And now it's, they built like a concrete establishment.
00:24:37.480 So it's there for staying.
00:24:39.300 They don't care.
00:24:40.280 They will not change anything.
00:24:42.000 If they build actually a place that is in action, like, and now, like, the immigration is increasing as hell,
00:24:54.640 I don't think anything will change as soon as we think.
00:24:58.480 Yeah, maybe what we need here in Canada is regime change to bring about those changes.
00:25:04.760 Alexa, my feeling is that one of the benchmarks of a sovereign nation is border security.
00:25:11.120 And if you don't have border security, I'm sorry, you're not much of a nation.
00:25:15.700 Alexa, it was a wonderful report.
00:25:17.800 Thank you so much.
00:25:18.600 And you have a good weekend, my friend.
00:25:20.700 You too.
00:25:21.600 We see you soon.
00:25:22.800 Yes, that's right.
00:25:23.600 And that was Alexa Lavoie somewhere in a sunny part of Quebec.
00:25:29.840 Keep it here, folks.
00:25:31.280 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:25:36.100 David Menzies for Rebel News here in downtown Toronto.
00:25:39.940 Well, folks, I'm at the Steam Whistle Brewery.
00:25:42.720 And just a day ago, this was the site of the Pierre Polyev Rally.
00:25:48.980 It was jam-packed, standing room only, thunderous applause for Mr. Polyev.
00:25:54.760 But in the aftermath, there was a bitter note to the event.
00:26:00.520 Nothing that Mr. Polyev said or did, nor his supporters, but rather from the people that run Steam Whistle.
00:26:09.000 And what I speak of, folks, is this letter that was sent out by Steam Whistle.
00:26:15.580 And I'm going to read it verbatim.
00:26:17.300 Steam Whistle received a last-minute booking for this event on April 13th.
00:26:22.800 Steam Whistle is in no way affiliated with Pierre Polyev, does not endorse his political views, nor did the brewery sponsor the event.
00:26:33.000 The candidate submitted an inquiry and went through the traditional booking process, as any other paid client would for an event booking, whether it be a wedding, corporate event, or private gathering.
00:26:47.240 Over our 22-year history, a number of different political candidates slash parties from all three branches of the Canadian government have rented our community event spaces.
00:27:00.800 We do not choose our venue for its amenities, size, and location.
00:27:09.460 We have upcoming bookings for other political events this year.
00:27:14.720 Contact Sybil at steamwhistle.ca for further information.
00:27:20.060 So, the vibe I'm getting from this, folks, is that Steam Whistle is distancing itself from Pierre Polyev.
00:27:30.420 But the question arises, why is that?
00:27:33.880 In Sybil's letter, she says in her 22-year history, members of other political parties, I assume she means the Liberals and the NDP, have booked this venue.
00:27:44.260 So, the question arises again, did Sybil send out a letter distancing Steam Whistle from the Liberals and from the New Democrats?
00:27:55.940 I have a hunch the answer is absolutely not.
00:28:00.020 Well, there you have it, folks.
00:28:01.480 Folks, that's what's known in the business as a public relations disaster, thanks to a corporation bending the knee to a few leftists who were having a temper tantrum on Twitter?
00:28:14.780 How pathetic, how weak can you get?
00:28:17.420 In any event, you had plenty to say about Steam Whistle's disastrous communication strategy in which the company attempted to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place.
00:28:30.540 Miss Sparkles and Glitter writes,
00:28:34.260 I love how these woke, complicit companies make it so easy for me and my family to decide to whom we should no longer give our money to.
00:28:45.160 Thank you, Steam Whistle, for making it very clear and easy.
00:28:49.600 Hey, good point, Miss Sparkles and Glitter.
00:28:51.780 There are literally hundreds of beers to choose from, and Steam Whistle is now off my list, too.
00:28:59.480 Catch Me writes,
00:29:01.160 I used to like their beer, but I will now find something that doesn't taste like liberal tears in a can.
00:29:08.400 Oh my God, liberal tears in a can.
00:29:11.880 Can you possibly imagine how bitter that would taste, folks?
00:29:15.900 Please, somebody pass me a barf bag.
00:29:19.040 Steve and Elaine write,
00:29:20.820 Looks like Steam Whistle just cancelled themselves.
00:29:24.440 Great job.
00:29:25.580 Won't be buying that product anymore.
00:29:27.580 Well, Steve and Elaine, we received literally hundreds of emails making this very same point.
00:29:34.540 Poor Steam Whistle.
00:29:36.220 Talk about a self-inflicted wound for no reason whatsoever.
00:29:40.960 Truth is Truth writes,
00:29:41.960 There's nothing wrong with Steam Whistle being neutral politically at all, as long as the same letter went out and will go out to all the parties hosting a political event.
00:29:53.600 Also, it causes a dark cloud to hover over the business when they invited queries to the letter, but they did not reply and they hid from the in-person visit.
00:30:05.120 Why hide?
00:30:06.120 Why not answer the questions?
00:30:09.000 Well, indeed, truth is truth.
00:30:10.960 And why do they even have a communications director who invites feedback and then hides from people, including members of the media?
00:30:21.580 You are a coward, Sybil Taylor.
00:30:24.460 And folks, not everyone was enamored with the report.
00:30:51.980 For example, Low Side writes,
00:30:55.380 This is so immature.
00:30:56.840 There's only a story if they haven't sent these letters to other political parties.
00:31:01.580 Mr. Menzies didn't even give them a business day to reply and calls them hypocrites without evidence.
00:31:08.060 Come on, Rebel News.
00:31:09.480 You can do better than this.
00:31:11.020 Well, Low Side, to date, we have found zero evidence that Steam Whistle has ever distanced itself from a Liberal or NDP party member renting their facility.
00:31:23.740 So, yes, the Steam Whistle folk are indeed hypocrites.
00:31:27.480 And that's what makes this a story worth covering.
00:31:30.180 Also, as of today, it is now day 10 without a response from Sybil to my queries.
00:31:38.220 Even if communications director Sybil Taylor was sending the company's response via Pony Express,
00:31:45.320 me thinks that horse would have arrived by now given that Rebel News headquarters is less than 15 kilometers away from this brewery.
00:31:53.840 I mean, give me a break already.
00:31:55.860 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.
00:31:59.200 Thanks so much for joining us.
00:32:00.980 See you next week.
00:32:01.840 And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory.
