00:01:14.200 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,
00:01:32.480 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels.
00:01:37.500 I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:01:39.140 Certainly, the optics in regard to Toronto-based Dominion voting look atrocious
00:01:45.580 when it comes to those astounding allegations pertaining to voter fraud in the U.S.
00:01:51.280 Well, just wait till you hear the latest from Kian Bextie,
00:01:55.300 one of the few people in the world who is covering what is perhaps the most overlooked
00:02:01.540 and underreported story of 2020.
00:02:04.620 And the City of Toronto is no longer being transparent when it comes to reporting its Wuhan virus data.
00:02:12.960 But why?
00:02:14.100 And why is the city demanding Rebel News must fork over some $25,000 to get the answers?
00:02:23.880 Sheila Gunn-Reed will weigh in on this doozy.
00:02:27.060 And letters, we get your letters.
00:02:28.560 We get them every minute of every day.
00:02:30.300 And you had plenty, plenty to say about my video regarding Adam Skelly,
00:02:36.160 the owner of Adamson Barbecue in Toronto,
00:02:38.680 who had the testicular fortitude to defy the powers that be
00:02:42.720 and illegally open his restaurant to hundreds and hundreds of appreciative customers.
00:02:49.820 How dare he?
00:02:51.220 I mean, who does Skelly think he is?
00:02:53.840 Walmart?
00:02:54.800 Those are your Rebels.
00:02:56.000 Now, let's round them up.
00:03:00.300 What does Dominion Voting and the Great Reset have to do with one another?
00:03:05.720 You've probably heard in the news a lot about both of these two things recently.
00:03:09.380 Maybe even for me.
00:03:10.280 I was actually at Dominion Voting's headquarters just a few days ago.
00:03:13.160 I actually got thrown out of their headquarters
00:03:15.120 when I was documenting the close ties that they share between themselves,
00:03:18.860 Dominion Voting, and George Soros.
00:03:20.840 They're actually tied to the hip with Tides Canada.
00:03:23.540 They shared an office floor.
00:03:24.560 Not just an office building, but an office floor with Tides Canada.
00:03:28.600 They shared a mailroom with dozens of other extreme left organizations like AWID.
00:03:35.380 Adam Vaughn, Justin Trudeau's Lieutenant Caucus colleague in Toronto.
00:03:39.300 Also, startups created by Justin Trudeau's cabinet ministers, Catherine McKenna.
00:03:43.580 You might know a little bit about her.
00:03:46.140 Catherine McKenna started Level,
00:03:47.940 a legal organization that specializes in globalist lawfare.
00:03:51.500 It is typical of Justin Trudeau and his associates
00:03:54.500 to hold themselves up in a building with Dominion Voting.
00:03:57.860 But I have documents to share with you today
00:03:59.700 that are even more damning than sharing office space.
00:04:03.360 Dominion Voting has financially donated to Justin Trudeau
00:04:06.880 and the Liberal Party in Canada.
00:04:09.060 It wasn't even a long time ago.
00:04:10.440 Of course, they've been longtime donors.
00:04:12.160 Early in the 2000s, they were donating to Justin Trudeau.
00:04:15.220 But even recently, when Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister,
00:04:18.380 when Dominion Voting was securing contracts in the United States
00:04:21.760 for the upcoming presidential election after Donald Trump was elected,
00:04:25.180 then they realized that there was a real big problem.
00:04:28.060 They were donating heavily to Justin Trudeau.
00:04:30.760 Now, this just wasn't some random employee of Dominion Voting
00:04:33.740 who happened to be a leftist radical.
00:04:35.380 No, this was the founder and chief investor of Dominion Voting,
00:04:39.780 John Paulos, donated thousands of dollars to Justin Trudeau
00:04:43.360 in a political attempt to help him,
00:04:45.980 to help him and his Great Reset plan.
00:04:49.900 Justin Trudeau has announced his plans for the Great Reset just recently.
00:04:53.520 Maybe it was a leak.
00:04:54.200 Maybe it was on purpose.
00:04:55.100 You can watch it for yourself.
00:04:56.380 This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset.
00:05:00.100 Now, a few days after that,
00:05:01.400 he started gaslighting Canadians,
00:05:03.020 saying that the Great Reset was some grand conspiracy theory.
00:05:06.820 And it wasn't actually true.
00:05:08.340 Watch this.
00:05:08.760 We're seeing a lot of people fall prey to disinformation.
00:05:12.340 And if conservative MPs and others want to start talking about conspiracy theories,
00:05:18.520 well, that's their choice.
00:05:20.180 Justin Trudeau is in power because of thousands of Canadians who financially support him.
00:05:24.760 The volunteers across Canada,
00:05:26.160 and of course, his caucus that has remained loyal to him for over five years.
00:05:30.300 His financial supporters are effectively partisan liberals,
00:05:33.780 and they just happen to be the founder and chief investor of Dominion Voting,
00:05:38.720 an organization that has an ungodly amount of power in the United States,
00:05:42.400 determining their election.
00:05:43.880 Americans put their ballots into their boxes,
00:05:46.320 and they just trust that the digital signal that comes out of it is the correct one.
00:05:50.640 One that will determine who sits at the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.
00:05:54.740 Now, there have been some problems with Dominion Voting.
00:05:57.020 Obviously, in Michigan, there was a 6,000 vote swing because of their boxes.
00:06:01.660 They said it was a user error, whatever that means.
00:06:03.980 But that user error seems to be repeating itself over and over and over again.
00:06:09.300 We've established here at Rebel News, through our on-the-ground reporting,
00:06:13.560 not just that they share a mailroom and an office floor with extremists like George Soros,
00:06:18.480 but also dozens of other organizations,
00:06:20.960 including people closely linked to Justin Trudeau's government,
00:06:24.060 including people in Justin Trudeau's government like Catherine McKenna.
00:06:27.680 While the year still has another month to go before completion,
00:06:31.720 I personally think that the most underreported and overlooked news story of 2020
00:06:37.540 happens to be Dominion Voting.
00:06:40.740 Not only does the technology of this company seem faulty and prone to fraud,
00:06:46.340 but the fact that this firm shares Toronto office space
00:06:50.300 with a bastion of leftist entities,
00:06:53.800 including the ever-meddling Tides Foundation,
00:06:57.360 is downright disturbing.
00:06:59.400 And can it actually be possible that this company
00:07:02.880 could be the primary reason why Joe Biden, not Donald Trump,
00:07:07.980 might be occupying the White House come next January?
00:07:11.880 Absolutely incredible.
00:07:13.000 And joining me now regarding this fascinating story is Kian Bextie.
00:07:17.740 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Kian.
00:07:19.940 Hi, David. Thanks for having me.
00:07:21.300 It is always a pleasure.
00:07:22.980 Kian, I got to tell you, that was yet another fantastic report
00:07:26.900 regarding Dominion voting.
00:07:29.040 But again, I have to ask,
00:07:31.740 why the near radio silence regarding Dominion?
00:07:35.600 Because if even half of these allegations are true,
00:07:39.060 this has to be the scoop of our young century, no?
00:07:44.940 Yeah, you would think so.
00:07:46.580 It's almost like there's a group of individuals in the media
00:07:50.160 who have an interest in not sharing this story.
00:07:53.880 I wonder why that could be.
00:07:55.000 Well, you know, Kian, what we've seen since Trump took office in 2016,
00:08:01.880 it's been a never-ending, relentless attack.
00:08:06.260 It's been fake polling, fake news, fake scandals, fake, fake, fake.
00:08:12.020 Could this have been a fake vote that turned the election,
00:08:16.660 as it stands now, towards the Democrats?
00:08:18.960 Because, you know, we have so many witnesses swearing under penalty of perjury
00:08:25.180 that there were all kinds of shenanigans going on on November 3rd and the days ahead.
00:08:31.940 And yet, again, I don't see the outcry to have some kind of clarity,
00:08:37.400 some kind of transparency of what really occurred on those days.
00:08:40.980 No, I mean, that's a great point.
00:08:43.900 We're seeing fraud happening in so many different states.
00:08:47.640 Some of them don't have Dominion voting systems in them.
00:08:51.400 Most of them do, it seems.
00:08:53.480 So, I mean, you have to look at this on the balance of probabilities.
00:08:57.860 Does it seem, does it appear to a normal-thinking person,
00:09:01.340 like this election could have been influenced by nefarious actors?
00:09:08.160 Could it have been outright flipped by these same actors?
00:09:13.260 And it looks like, well, Donald Trump, at least, thinks that it has.
00:09:17.720 Him and Rudy Giuliani right now are still filing lawsuits.
00:09:24.140 Some have been overturned, but some of them have,
00:09:27.780 they've actually won just recently in Pennsylvania,
00:09:31.940 saying that the votes that had been cast did not match up
00:09:39.840 with the actual docket sheets that actual poll watchers were looking at.
00:09:43.940 So, I think it's safe to say that this election,
00:09:48.540 calling the validity of the results into question
00:09:51.560 is a very fair thing to ask right now.
00:09:54.600 You know, and Keane, it's so odd, isn't it,
00:09:56.700 that a Canadian company, one based in Toronto,
00:10:00.500 was used in, I believe, 30 states.
00:10:03.480 And yet, I believe the president himself tweeted
00:10:06.040 that Elections Canada doesn't use it for our federal elections.
00:10:11.100 You have to wonder, how did they make such a selling job
00:10:15.000 that 30 states south of the border would embrace this technology?
00:10:19.420 Yeah, that's a good question.
00:10:21.520 They seem to, they seem to have done very well for themselves
00:10:25.040 everywhere outside of Canada.
00:10:27.740 I mean, they've also been picked up by the Ontario,
00:10:31.880 which they used, Ontario used Dominion voting systems
00:10:35.280 for a certain period of time.
00:10:37.340 I believe that would have been Kathleen Wynne.
00:10:40.000 Maybe she was hoping that Dominion voting would swing in her favor
00:10:43.600 a little bit more than it did in the last election.
00:10:45.640 But obviously, that didn't happen.
00:10:47.980 Whether fraud happened or not is a totally different question, though.
00:10:52.140 But your point is right.
00:10:54.100 I mean, why is this company that even Canadians don't trust?
00:10:57.480 Why did they manage to get into,
00:11:00.060 get these massive contracts from dozens of states
00:11:03.360 and hundreds of counties?
00:11:06.860 And also, you've got to look at some of the states
00:11:09.880 that they tried to sell this technology to, such as Texas.
00:11:13.540 They wanted no part of it.
00:11:15.060 They just turned their backs on this thing.
00:11:19.180 And the other thing, too, and of course,
00:11:20.320 you address it very adroitly in your report, Kian.
00:11:23.040 This business about Dominion voting,
00:11:26.220 giving donations to the likes of the Clinton Foundation,
00:11:32.280 the Trudeau Liberals.
00:11:33.620 You would think, I mean, I would think,
00:11:35.380 if I was running a company that was providing technology
00:11:39.100 for voting in democracies,
00:11:41.840 that you would have a strict policy of being nonpartisan.
00:11:46.260 No funding for campaigns, no funding for candidates,
00:11:49.440 no funding for any kind of political parties,
00:11:51.440 because you want to be completely impartial.
00:11:55.120 And yet, they're kind of brazen about where their leanings are, aren't they?
00:11:59.420 Yeah, it's not just the donation to Hillary Clinton's pet charity, right?
00:12:04.580 And that's something that dictators around the world would do
00:12:08.180 to win favor with the former Secretary of State.
00:12:12.040 They would donate to her personal charity
00:12:14.920 and hope that that would mean that the United States government
00:12:18.560 and all the power that it had would turn and say,
00:12:21.220 okay, yeah, Libya, you can have some money.
00:12:24.020 You can have this contract,
00:12:25.080 or we'll go a little bit easier on you.
00:12:29.320 And for some reason,
00:12:30.380 Dominion Voting just happens to fall into that category.
00:12:32.420 And it's not just Hillary Clinton and her pet charity.
00:12:35.240 It's also directly to Justin Trudeau.
00:12:37.460 The founder and chief investor of Dominion Voting,
00:12:41.300 John Paulos,
00:12:42.380 has donated thousands of dollars to Canada's Liberal Prime Minister.
00:12:46.660 If that doesn't show you that the company itself
00:12:50.380 doesn't have any sort of neutral leg to stand on,
00:12:54.520 I don't know what possibly could.
00:12:56.760 Yeah, and those executives at Dominion Voting,
00:12:59.520 they seem to be in a bunker somewhere, don't they?
00:13:01.720 I mean, they have just been completely off the map.
00:13:05.260 And, you know, I want to get back to, Cian,
00:13:08.120 because it really bothers me,
00:13:09.320 since we are with a news organization,
00:13:11.860 the fact that you would think,
00:13:14.420 given how momentous this scandal can be,
00:13:17.560 if the allegations are proven true,
00:13:19.220 you would have every major United States news organization
00:13:24.800 on Spadina Avenue trying to find out the truth behind Dominion Voting.
00:13:30.180 And yet, they just can't be bothered.
00:13:32.000 I think this lends credence, you know,
00:13:34.180 the great Mark Levin,
00:13:35.280 he calls the mainstream media in the US
00:13:37.940 the Praetorian Guard for the Democrats,
00:13:40.920 that they're all about exposing scandals with the Republicans,
00:13:45.560 even fake ones.
00:13:47.080 But when it comes to scandals with the Democrats,
00:13:49.420 it's a matter of covering it up.
00:13:51.680 That's not journalism anymore, is it?
00:13:54.340 No, absolutely not, David.
00:13:56.480 I was as surprised as you, actually,
00:13:58.840 when I showed up on location.
00:14:00.180 I was wondering, where the hell is everyone?
00:14:03.800 For much smaller things,
00:14:05.380 the mainstream media in Toronto
00:14:07.100 will line the streets with their satellite trucks,
00:14:10.240 reporters all the way up and down the sidewalk,
00:14:13.920 interviewing anyone with a pulse.
00:14:15.960 But for some reason, when it came to this,
00:14:18.000 they were nowhere to be seen.
00:14:19.700 I don't know why that is.
00:14:20.840 You know Toronto better than I.
00:14:22.420 But maybe this is something that is a problem
00:14:24.720 across the mainstream media,
00:14:26.680 not just in Toronto.
00:14:27.900 It's, whether it's in the United States,
00:14:30.980 whether it's in Canada,
00:14:31.780 whether it's in Toronto or Calgary,
00:14:33.260 the mainstream media is almost uniformly behind
00:14:36.160 leftist, new, I almost said new world order,
00:14:41.900 the great reset ideology, right?
00:14:44.340 So, you know, this is evidence
00:14:50.660 that you just can't trust them.
00:14:52.240 100%.
00:14:52.800 So many of these journalists,
00:14:54.140 they're not investigative journalists anymore,
00:14:56.440 Kian, they're cheerleaders.
00:14:57.780 I find it amazing they can type out their copy
00:15:00.220 with their pom-poms still attached to their wrists.
00:15:02.640 One last question, my friend,
00:15:04.320 and it's probably an unfair question,
00:15:05.940 given that there's so much uncertainty
00:15:07.780 in this story moves by the hour.
00:15:09.580 But if you had a crystal ball
00:15:11.460 and you were to look ahead to next January,
00:15:14.140 who do you see sitting in the White House
00:15:16.600 come January 2020?
00:15:20.100 That's a good question.
00:15:22.860 I know everyone watching this
00:15:24.560 wants me to say Donald Trump,
00:15:25.880 but I just don't have faith
00:15:28.260 that what I've seen with my own eyes,
00:15:33.220 the widespread corruption
00:15:34.420 in both the United States
00:15:35.720 and the mainstream media,
00:15:37.120 I just don't have faith
00:15:38.720 that they can be overcome.
00:15:41.600 Maybe I should,
00:15:42.780 given the job that I hold,
00:15:44.480 but I just,
00:15:45.500 they seem to be more powerful
00:15:48.380 than anyone could have ever expected.
00:15:50.640 And it's just so disappointing
00:15:52.040 to say out loud,
00:15:53.000 but it's true.
00:15:53.680 They're winning all of the time.
00:15:56.520 And it's, I mean,
00:15:57.860 take that as you will.
00:15:58.780 Maybe we need to step up our game,
00:16:00.460 but it's something that
00:16:03.400 the right all across the political,
00:16:06.000 the right all across Canada
00:16:08.780 and the United States
00:16:09.620 needs to change how they operate
00:16:11.520 and look at how the left is doing things
00:16:13.700 because they're clearly,
00:16:15.780 they clearly know
00:16:17.140 how to run political campaigns
00:16:18.640 in the modern age,
00:16:19.740 how to use the media
00:16:20.780 to sell their lies.
00:16:25.080 Now we need to do that and flip it.
00:16:27.280 We need to sell,
00:16:28.780 you know,
00:16:29.680 the real story.
00:16:31.280 We need to sell that properly to people
00:16:33.740 so that they can actually see
00:16:35.060 what's going on.
00:16:36.420 And politicians and the media
00:16:38.360 on the right
00:16:39.640 needs to be picking that up.
00:16:41.140 And OAN seems to be doing
00:16:42.220 a good job of it.
00:16:43.160 But there needs to be
00:16:46.180 far more work needs to be done.
00:16:47.980 There needs to be more foot soldiers
00:16:49.020 on the ground.
00:16:49.620 And I just don't think
00:16:50.800 that we had that in place
00:16:52.700 for 2020.
00:16:54.160 Yeah, you know,
00:16:54.700 Kian, they always say,
00:16:55.540 always bet with your head,
00:16:56.960 not with your heart.
00:16:58.100 And given that,
00:16:58.780 I truly believe
00:16:59.640 that this was a stolen election.
00:17:01.340 That's just my hunch.
00:17:02.220 I don't have the proof.
00:17:03.740 That's what makes this story
00:17:05.200 so utterly heartbreaking.
00:17:07.400 But great report, my friend.
00:17:09.420 Thank goodness you're doing it
00:17:10.560 because no one else
00:17:12.240 seems to be interested
00:17:13.140 for whatever reason.
00:17:14.220 So thank you again
00:17:15.360 and have a great weekend, Kian.
00:17:17.080 Thanks, David.
00:17:17.520 And that was Kian Bextie
00:17:20.220 in Calgary.
00:17:21.400 Keep it here, folks.
00:17:22.120 More of Rebel Roundup
00:17:22.940 to come right after this.
00:17:24.180 But the city of Toronto,
00:17:31.200 it doesn't give out
00:17:32.920 Alberta-style stats anymore
00:17:35.000 about comorbidities.
00:17:37.480 All of a sudden,
00:17:38.880 in the middle of the pandemic,
00:17:40.640 the city of Toronto,
00:17:42.140 led by Mayor John Tory,
00:17:43.480 stopped telling people
00:17:45.220 the anonymous details
00:17:47.520 of the people
00:17:48.640 who were becoming sick
00:17:50.280 and then dying
00:17:51.280 with COVID-19.
00:17:53.660 And we think Ezra Levant
00:17:55.560 had something to do with it.
00:17:57.420 Ezra's constant reliance
00:17:58.960 on the data
00:18:00.280 to debunk the reasons
00:18:01.960 for the increasing restrictions
00:18:03.800 on businesses
00:18:05.000 and people in Toronto
00:18:06.420 made Toronto
00:18:07.960 and Mayor John Tory
00:18:09.360 stop being transparent
00:18:10.840 with the facts.
00:18:11.660 So we thought,
00:18:13.340 why not just ask
00:18:14.720 why this bizarre change
00:18:16.400 was made
00:18:17.120 to give people
00:18:18.160 less information
00:18:19.380 about the pandemic
00:18:20.820 in the middle of the pandemic?
00:18:22.660 And who made this decision?
00:18:24.460 And when was it made?
00:18:26.060 Now, here's what
00:18:26.860 we asked the city for.
00:18:29.600 We requested access
00:18:31.320 to any emails
00:18:32.660 and conversations
00:18:33.660 from Toronto's public health
00:18:35.800 that preceded any changes
00:18:38.160 to the COVID-19 status
00:18:40.560 of cases in Toronto's website
00:18:42.540 or what prompted those changes.
00:18:45.880 Now, here's what we got back
00:18:48.000 from the city of Toronto.
00:18:50.100 In an effort to satisfy
00:18:51.360 your request
00:18:52.380 on September 30th, 2020,
00:18:55.100 you were provided
00:18:56.180 with Toronto Public Health
00:18:58.260 staff discussions
00:18:59.540 on a mock-up dashboard
00:19:01.780 along with key decisions
00:19:03.520 that were made
00:19:04.360 and the rationale
00:19:05.460 for those decisions.
00:19:07.600 Following this,
00:19:09.280 you indicated
00:19:10.160 you were still interested
00:19:11.700 in obtaining emails
00:19:13.120 regarding the changes
00:19:14.420 to the website.
00:19:16.540 Toronto Public Health
00:19:17.620 staff advised us
00:19:19.180 that in order
00:19:19.720 to provide
00:19:20.520 the requested information,
00:19:22.500 staff would have
00:19:23.520 to review
00:19:24.340 over 100,000 emails.
00:19:28.240 This would include
00:19:29.180 searches of email accounts
00:19:31.220 in a large number
00:19:32.440 of staff,
00:19:33.760 including,
00:19:34.540 but not limited to,
00:19:36.800 epidemiologists,
00:19:38.220 planners,
00:19:39.200 operational management,
00:19:40.760 communication,
00:19:41.240 senior management,
00:19:43.280 web content experts,
00:19:45.180 and IT support
00:19:46.240 for Tableau.
00:19:47.600 It has been estimated
00:19:49.020 that each document
00:19:51.320 would require
00:19:52.120 30 seconds for review
00:19:54.180 to determine
00:19:55.260 if the record
00:19:56.160 is responsive
00:19:57.220 to your request.
00:19:59.580 Now,
00:20:00.360 here's the big stuff.
00:20:02.200 Fee search estimate.
00:20:04.160 Estimated search time
00:20:05.560 for approximately
00:20:06.220 100,000 emails,
00:20:07.760 833 hours.
00:20:09.040 Total estimated cost
00:20:10.900 of record search
00:20:12.560 at $30 per hour,
00:20:14.100 $24,990.
00:20:16.260 And they require
00:20:17.060 a 50% deposit up front,
00:20:18.900 so $12,500
00:20:20.760 before they proceed
00:20:22.280 with our request.
00:20:23.580 $25,000
00:20:24.900 for Labour
00:20:26.120 to look for digital documents
00:20:27.740 that are readily available
00:20:28.960 by doing a simple email search
00:20:31.380 or a search
00:20:32.160 on the City's
00:20:32.960 internal servers.
00:20:34.080 So,
00:20:34.720 what's worse,
00:20:35.340 folks,
00:20:35.880 the fact that
00:20:36.540 the City of Toronto
00:20:37.500 is clearly hiding
00:20:38.620 something
00:20:39.200 about its
00:20:40.000 Wuhan virus case data,
00:20:41.900 or the fact
00:20:43.220 that the City
00:20:44.100 is trying
00:20:44.760 to deter us
00:20:46.120 from finding out
00:20:47.540 what it is
00:20:48.640 that they are hiding
00:20:50.220 by slapping us
00:20:51.720 with an outrageous
00:20:52.580 five-figure bill
00:20:54.020 after receiving
00:20:55.360 our Freedom of Information
00:20:56.900 requests.
00:20:57.900 Absolutely unbelievable.
00:20:59.920 And joining me now
00:21:00.820 for more
00:21:01.480 on this incredibly
00:21:03.060 egregious story
00:21:04.160 is Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:21:05.840 Hey, how's it going there,
00:21:06.920 Sheila?
00:21:07.980 Hey, David.
00:21:08.500 I'm great.
00:21:09.020 Thanks for having me
00:21:09.640 on the show.
00:21:10.180 It is always a pleasure,
00:21:11.200 my friend.
00:21:11.940 But, Sheila,
00:21:12.520 I'm just wondering,
00:21:14.260 whatever happened
00:21:15.360 to that old phrase,
00:21:17.200 you know,
00:21:17.780 the public
00:21:18.480 has the right to know,
00:21:19.820 doesn't seem to be the case
00:21:21.000 in John Tory's Toronto,
00:21:22.580 does it?
00:21:23.880 Yeah,
00:21:24.460 that's the thing.
00:21:25.440 These things are either
00:21:26.440 called access
00:21:27.320 to information requests
00:21:29.040 or freedom
00:21:29.960 of information requests,
00:21:31.660 but they both indicate
00:21:32.900 in the name
00:21:34.240 that I should have
00:21:35.860 access to them
00:21:36.740 and I should have
00:21:37.760 the freedom
00:21:38.340 to see the information.
00:21:40.640 This is government information,
00:21:42.860 which means that
00:21:43.800 getting access
00:21:44.900 to these records
00:21:45.840 is a means
00:21:46.480 by which we can
00:21:47.280 hold the government
00:21:48.840 accountable
00:21:49.860 for the decisions
00:21:50.780 they make
00:21:51.360 when they think
00:21:51.880 that nobody's watching.
00:21:53.500 But this is nothing
00:21:54.420 more than a paywall.
00:21:56.220 I mean,
00:21:57.040 CBC would probably
00:21:58.200 pay this
00:21:59.000 without flinching.
00:21:59.900 Actually,
00:22:00.580 CBC would never ask
00:22:01.660 for this stuff
00:22:02.220 because they don't care
00:22:03.180 and they're
00:22:03.700 incurious
00:22:04.740 as journalists.
00:22:06.140 But when you stick
00:22:07.900 five figures
00:22:10.280 in front of
00:22:11.740 digital information
00:22:13.420 that's already there,
00:22:15.480 you just have to find it
00:22:16.760 and send it to me
00:22:17.760 digitally.
00:22:18.420 Like,
00:22:18.580 that's the thing.
00:22:19.600 They're not sending me
00:22:20.660 file boxes of paper.
00:22:22.480 However,
00:22:22.860 I would love to print out
00:22:24.120 $25,000 worth
00:22:25.640 of government paperwork
00:22:27.140 and stand beside it
00:22:28.600 in Nathan Phillips Square.
00:22:29.980 But that's not
00:22:31.140 what they're doing.
00:22:31.860 They send it to me
00:22:33.180 digitally.
00:22:33.700 There's very little work
00:22:34.940 involved in any of this.
00:22:36.240 It's just a keyword search.
00:22:37.920 Send it all to me.
00:22:38.800 I'll figure out
00:22:39.660 what's important.
00:22:41.440 But they've stuck
00:22:42.800 a five-figure paywall
00:22:44.280 in front of this
00:22:44.920 thinking that,
00:22:45.900 oh,
00:22:46.000 they're just this little
00:22:46.780 upstart,
00:22:47.600 crowdfunded network.
00:22:49.280 They'll never be able
00:22:50.240 to afford it
00:22:51.160 and they'll just
00:22:52.400 go away.
00:22:53.560 The thing is,
00:22:54.460 when you do that
00:22:55.620 to me,
00:22:56.580 it makes me know
00:22:58.040 that you are
00:22:58.900 hiding something
00:23:00.140 and there's
00:23:02.400 something pretty
00:23:03.440 damning
00:23:04.100 behind five figures
00:23:06.060 of bill
00:23:08.300 just to get access
00:23:09.460 to information
00:23:09.980 we're legally entitled
00:23:10.860 to have anyway.
00:23:12.120 Oh,
00:23:12.320 100%, Sheila.
00:23:13.280 I mean,
00:23:13.700 that's the thing too,
00:23:14.740 as you alluded to.
00:23:15.680 This is just a matter
00:23:16.840 of a couple of
00:23:17.640 keystrokes
00:23:18.500 on a computer
00:23:19.440 to get this
00:23:20.840 information to us.
00:23:21.760 It's not as though
00:23:22.440 we're asking
00:23:23.120 100 bureaucrats
00:23:24.640 to descend
00:23:25.300 into the bowels
00:23:26.160 of the City of
00:23:26.780 Toronto archives
00:23:27.640 and go through
00:23:28.560 paper from
00:23:29.620 a century and a
00:23:30.660 half ago.
00:23:31.580 I mean,
00:23:31.940 it's outrageous.
00:23:33.280 A,
00:23:33.460 but B,
00:23:34.660 what is your take,
00:23:36.300 Sheila,
00:23:36.700 on what the
00:23:37.720 unspoken strategy
00:23:39.320 here is?
00:23:40.340 Clearly,
00:23:40.920 they don't want
00:23:41.760 to give us this data
00:23:42.880 or give us the answers
00:23:44.200 as to why this data
00:23:45.960 was taken away
00:23:47.060 and who was behind
00:23:48.360 taking it away.
00:23:50.100 But what is
00:23:51.400 the unspoken reason
00:23:52.900 for them having
00:23:54.380 this,
00:23:54.860 you know,
00:23:56.080 standoffish approach
00:23:57.500 to delivering
00:23:58.420 information?
00:23:59.080 Because we have
00:24:00.300 heard time and time
00:24:01.040 again from our
00:24:01.680 elected officials
00:24:02.480 all their Wuhan
00:24:03.660 virus decision
00:24:05.420 making is based
00:24:06.820 on the science.
00:24:08.920 Well,
00:24:09.380 show us the science.
00:24:10.620 Show us the numbers.
00:24:11.680 I don't get this.
00:24:13.540 Well,
00:24:14.080 that's the thing.
00:24:15.000 I think that
00:24:16.100 in these documents,
00:24:18.360 we are going
00:24:19.660 to see that
00:24:20.660 they aren't basing
00:24:21.900 their decisions
00:24:23.100 on science,
00:24:24.740 that these are
00:24:25.580 political decisions.
00:24:28.680 And
00:24:28.820 really,
00:24:30.620 what I'm asking
00:24:31.360 for is
00:24:32.300 a justification
00:24:34.860 for the
00:24:36.560 city of Toronto
00:24:37.760 to make
00:24:38.940 a conscious
00:24:39.760 decision
00:24:40.700 to remove
00:24:42.400 data
00:24:43.360 about cases
00:24:44.480 so that the
00:24:45.360 public doesn't
00:24:46.020 have access
00:24:46.660 to this
00:24:47.180 information
00:24:47.740 because they
00:24:49.340 were publishing
00:24:50.000 all of it.
00:24:50.640 It's the kind
00:24:51.200 of information
00:24:51.660 that we publish
00:24:52.420 in Alberta
00:24:53.240 here.
00:24:54.180 The ages
00:24:55.080 of the people
00:24:55.780 who are becoming
00:24:56.480 afflicted,
00:24:57.100 the comorbidities,
00:24:58.760 cases versus
00:25:00.280 hospitalizations,
00:25:01.320 all that stuff
00:25:02.640 was readily
00:25:03.400 available.
00:25:04.060 And I think
00:25:05.400 what they want
00:25:08.040 people to know
00:25:10.040 is the bulk
00:25:11.400 data,
00:25:12.620 the upward
00:25:13.980 curve of
00:25:15.560 case counts.
00:25:16.860 But they don't
00:25:17.220 want to show you
00:25:18.340 how many people
00:25:19.080 are being tested,
00:25:20.060 how many people
00:25:20.780 are getting sick,
00:25:21.760 the ages of those
00:25:22.920 people,
00:25:23.300 and the comorbidities
00:25:24.600 because if they
00:25:26.360 provide that data
00:25:27.480 to the people
00:25:28.660 in Toronto,
00:25:29.660 the people of
00:25:30.460 Toronto are going
00:25:31.220 to say,
00:25:32.240 well,
00:25:32.420 I'm not 85,
00:25:34.100 I'm not in a
00:25:35.360 nursing home,
00:25:36.300 I don't have
00:25:37.720 three comorbidities,
00:25:39.600 heart disease,
00:25:40.500 diabetes,
00:25:41.500 and, you know,
00:25:42.960 old age,
00:25:43.660 Alzheimer's,
00:25:44.360 whatever.
00:25:45.380 They're going to
00:25:46.220 say,
00:25:46.680 I don't have
00:25:47.840 those risk factors,
00:25:48.880 so why am I
00:25:49.840 not allowed
00:25:50.540 to leave my
00:25:51.740 house,
00:25:52.200 gather with my
00:25:52.880 friends,
00:25:53.420 go to the
00:25:53.820 grocery store,
00:25:54.780 or buy in
00:25:55.500 on essential?
00:25:56.500 I think that if
00:25:57.380 people in Toronto
00:25:58.200 had that information,
00:26:00.160 the people of
00:26:00.700 Toronto would
00:26:01.380 see that the
00:26:04.120 city itself is
00:26:05.100 using the
00:26:05.980 coronavirus to
00:26:06.940 control them as
00:26:08.440 opposed to keep
00:26:09.860 them safe.
00:26:10.580 I think you're
00:26:11.280 100% right about
00:26:12.300 that, and I
00:26:13.260 think one of the
00:26:14.140 catalysts in them
00:26:15.160 having this policy
00:26:16.040 change and keeping
00:26:16.900 the data secret was
00:26:18.360 our boss, Ezra
00:26:19.260 Levin.
00:26:19.660 He used to go on
00:26:20.980 that site every
00:26:22.760 day, look at the
00:26:24.000 data, mine the
00:26:25.240 data for what it
00:26:26.060 really said.
00:26:27.040 I don't think they
00:26:27.800 counted on somebody
00:26:29.060 doing that.
00:26:30.280 You know, certainly
00:26:31.620 there's so many
00:26:32.340 members of the
00:26:33.220 media party that
00:26:34.280 are just too darn
00:26:35.200 lazy to do this
00:26:36.200 kind of thing, and
00:26:37.080 they don't want to
00:26:38.400 present a counter
00:26:39.780 argument to the
00:26:40.920 lockdowns that are
00:26:41.800 going on, but you
00:26:43.200 know, Sheila, it
00:26:44.320 speaks to a bigger
00:26:45.100 issue too, and it's
00:26:46.500 almost as though how
00:26:47.540 the city is like
00:26:49.320 operating as a star
00:26:50.640 chamber, even when
00:26:51.900 it comes to public
00:26:52.660 documents.
00:26:53.200 I mean, you saw in
00:26:54.220 the last 72 hours the
00:26:55.900 saga of what I call
00:26:56.960 the Great Canadian
00:26:57.880 Barbecue Rebellion,
00:26:59.520 and that was, you
00:27:00.660 know, Adam Skelly
00:27:01.480 opening up illegally,
00:27:02.700 and you had the
00:27:03.700 entire might of the
00:27:04.760 state, hundreds of
00:27:06.020 police officers, the
00:27:07.100 mounted unit to
00:27:08.420 forcibly shut him
00:27:09.820 down, and there was a
00:27:10.800 very telling interview
00:27:11.960 on, I think it was
00:27:13.540 City News, where John
00:27:15.300 Tory was kind of
00:27:16.240 blaming the
00:27:17.000 journalists for
00:27:18.520 covering it.
00:27:19.320 It was kind of like,
00:27:20.180 you know what, this is
00:27:22.280 kind of embarrassing for
00:27:23.400 me in the city.
00:27:24.120 We don't want to,
00:27:25.500 you know, I'd rather
00:27:26.360 not have the public
00:27:27.580 see the warts on our
00:27:29.320 rumps, you know.
00:27:30.240 Yeah.
00:27:30.500 And it was almost as
00:27:31.760 though he was trying
00:27:32.740 to get the media to
00:27:33.800 buy into, secrecy is
00:27:36.220 the best policy.
00:27:38.240 Yeah, and the media,
00:27:39.480 if we're talking about
00:27:40.260 the same interview,
00:27:41.940 was readily agreed.
00:27:44.060 They said, yeah, we'd
00:27:45.280 love not to give him
00:27:46.140 any coverage, would you
00:27:47.280 mind sending the cops
00:27:48.240 over there to close
00:27:49.140 him down?
00:27:50.520 You know, that's not
00:27:51.960 how this works.
00:27:52.900 And again, going
00:27:54.440 back to access
00:27:55.060 to information, I
00:27:56.380 said on the live
00:27:57.060 stream, as, you
00:27:59.520 know, as we were
00:28:00.160 covering the arrest
00:28:01.220 of Adam Skelly, as
00:28:02.480 God is my witness, I'm
00:28:03.520 going to find out
00:28:04.040 everything I can about
00:28:05.100 the decision that
00:28:05.900 came from the city
00:28:08.520 to send the cops to
00:28:10.820 drop the hammer on
00:28:11.780 Adam Skelly.
00:28:12.840 And I want to know
00:28:13.880 how the media knew
00:28:17.020 to be there in the
00:28:18.360 wee hours of the
00:28:19.400 morning to catch the
00:28:21.060 police changing the
00:28:22.320 locks at Adam Skelly's
00:28:23.600 place.
00:28:23.860 That absolutely is a
00:28:24.940 leak that came from
00:28:26.400 the city of Toronto
00:28:27.480 somewhere, and I'm
00:28:29.160 going to find it in
00:28:30.620 access to information,
00:28:31.660 and I anticipate that
00:28:32.700 bill to get that
00:28:34.480 information is also
00:28:35.580 going to be outrageous.
00:28:37.020 I'm going to be told
00:28:39.100 that we have to pay,
00:28:40.580 and this is the thing
00:28:41.340 about that bill, by the
00:28:42.360 way, $30 an hour for
00:28:45.440 some bureaucrat to
00:28:46.860 search emails by
00:28:48.460 keyword?
00:28:49.680 Are you kidding me?
00:28:50.860 That's outrageous.
00:28:52.740 I mean, just give me
00:28:54.280 all the information.
00:28:55.200 I can search a PDF, and
00:28:57.060 I can plug Ezra Levant
00:28:58.820 into that PDF, and I
00:29:00.220 bet you that I'm going
00:29:01.800 to get dozens of hits
00:29:03.300 saying Ezra Levant is
00:29:04.940 using this data to show
00:29:06.560 that we are unjustified,
00:29:08.140 and so we have to
00:29:08.920 remove the data.
00:29:09.920 That's what I'm going to
00:29:10.840 find in that.
00:29:11.800 But getting back to
00:29:12.700 Adam Skelly, you know,
00:29:15.620 I want to know how the
00:29:19.620 city made the decision
00:29:21.460 to drop the hammer on
00:29:22.840 that guy.
00:29:23.220 I want to know
00:29:23.660 everything about it.
00:29:25.040 I'm going to file more
00:29:26.160 access to information.
00:29:27.360 People can help me pay
00:29:28.680 for that at
00:29:29.820 rebelinvestigates.com.
00:29:32.160 Access to information is
00:29:33.560 how we see how the
00:29:35.960 government makes decisions,
00:29:37.500 and it's almost always
00:29:39.360 political and not
00:29:40.880 evidence-based.
00:29:42.080 Yeah, and you know,
00:29:42.660 Sheila, you're right.
00:29:43.220 I shudder to think what
00:29:44.520 the price tag of the
00:29:46.260 Adam Skelly FOIs will
00:29:47.800 be.
00:29:48.180 Very quickly, my friend,
00:29:49.260 we've got to wrap here.
00:29:50.920 We are going to appeal
00:29:52.420 this decision, I
00:29:53.640 understand, and should we
00:29:55.040 lose the appeal, then
00:29:56.740 what?
00:29:57.040 We're surely not going
00:29:57.860 to give them over $25,000
00:30:00.300 for these digital
00:30:01.880 documents, are we?
00:30:03.900 Not if we don't have to.
00:30:05.260 We are going to appeal.
00:30:06.400 They might knock down a
00:30:07.740 few thousand dollars.
00:30:09.440 I want to see their
00:30:10.480 justification for
00:30:12.260 charging us $25,000.
00:30:13.220 $25,000 to search
00:30:15.380 emails.
00:30:16.140 I mean, that's
00:30:17.100 absolutely outrageous.
00:30:18.300 I know government
00:30:18.880 workers are overpaid for
00:30:20.360 the things that they do,
00:30:21.460 but that's crazy.
00:30:22.680 So we are going to
00:30:23.440 appeal.
00:30:23.900 They probably will knock
00:30:24.920 down a few thousand
00:30:25.720 bucks.
00:30:26.660 We're going to appeal and
00:30:28.000 appeal and appeal to try
00:30:29.680 to get that bill down, but
00:30:30.740 we are going to get a
00:30:31.860 hefty bill.
00:30:32.940 And if it is as many
00:30:34.260 documents as they say it
00:30:35.760 is, we also have to put
00:30:38.360 in the time and labor to
00:30:40.160 look through these
00:30:41.160 documents.
00:30:42.080 So even at the bill,
00:30:44.280 whatever that enormous
00:30:45.240 bill at the end of the
00:30:46.140 day is, we still have
00:30:47.600 thousands of dollars
00:30:49.380 after the fact to
00:30:50.420 search through those.
00:30:51.240 We do have a researcher
00:30:52.000 who helps us because,
00:30:53.600 I mean, I can't.
00:30:54.620 I just can't get through
00:30:55.580 it all on my own.
00:30:56.360 There's just so much.
00:30:57.620 So, you know, we're going
00:30:59.700 to do our best to keep the
00:31:00.720 costs down.
00:31:01.360 We stretch every dollar
00:31:02.620 that people generously
00:31:04.640 donate to us here at
00:31:05.600 Rebel News, but there are
00:31:06.620 going to be tens of
00:31:07.640 thousands of dollars
00:31:08.460 associated in just
00:31:09.840 finding out why Toronto
00:31:11.760 decided people needed
00:31:12.980 less information in the
00:31:14.320 middle of a pandemic.
00:31:15.500 Indeed.
00:31:15.760 And I think if an appeal
00:31:16.620 fails, hey, why not
00:31:17.740 litigation?
00:31:18.540 We'll have to teach the
00:31:19.740 city of Toronto yet again
00:31:21.100 that we don't bend the
00:31:22.980 knee here at Rebel News.
00:31:24.400 Anyway, Sheila, great
00:31:25.440 report, and we'll keep
00:31:27.120 our eyes on an update
00:31:28.160 because I sure want to
00:31:29.080 know the answers to the
00:31:30.360 questions you're asking.
00:31:32.140 Thanks, David.
00:31:32.820 And again, if people want
00:31:33.660 to help fund our access
00:31:35.780 to information
00:31:36.340 investigations, they can
00:31:37.520 do that at
00:31:38.200 rebelinvestigates.com.
00:31:40.380 Indeed.
00:31:40.800 Please do.
00:31:41.380 Thanks again, Sheila.
00:31:42.240 You have a great weekend.
00:31:43.800 You too, David.
00:31:44.640 Okay.
00:31:45.660 And keep it here, folks.
00:31:47.780 More of Rebel News.
00:31:49.400 What am I saying?
00:31:50.280 More of Rebel Roundup
00:31:51.380 to come right after this.
00:31:55.440 And we're fighting for
00:31:59.780 their future, so they have
00:32:00.980 the same opportunities
00:32:01.840 that I was provided.
00:32:03.880 Hey, Adam, what did the
00:32:04.860 police and bylaw officers
00:32:05.920 say to you?
00:32:06.720 They were all very
00:32:08.080 respectful.
00:32:09.040 They made sure that we
00:32:09.840 took a look through and
00:32:11.640 I'm a little overwhelmed
00:32:14.540 right now, brother.
00:32:15.580 They took a look at the
00:32:17.440 different rules that we're
00:32:19.720 supposed to be complying
00:32:20.500 with.
00:32:20.720 They found that we were in
00:32:21.800 noncompliance of people
00:32:22.780 eating inside.
00:32:23.820 Everything else was good.
00:32:24.660 We're contact tracing.
00:32:25.980 We have the signs posted
00:32:27.120 so that the customers
00:32:28.380 maintain social distancing.
00:32:29.780 But it looks like there's
00:32:30.440 a little bit of civil
00:32:31.080 disobedience happening
00:32:31.960 today.
00:32:32.400 They decided not to
00:32:33.300 enforce that.
00:32:34.140 And it sure isn't my job
00:32:35.140 as a guy who cooks
00:32:36.020 brisket to enforce
00:32:38.060 government regulations.
00:32:39.420 Adam, do you think
00:32:40.120 you're a catalyst for so
00:32:41.760 many other businesses in
00:32:43.300 the same position you are
00:32:44.520 with your backs up
00:32:45.300 against the wall, just
00:32:46.500 trying to earn a
00:32:47.180 livelihood, that they will
00:32:48.740 look upon what you've
00:32:49.660 done today and they will
00:32:50.820 also open up in civil
00:32:52.340 disobedience?
00:32:53.000 Of course.
00:32:53.720 I know I'm going to be
00:32:54.460 the catalyst for this.
00:32:55.760 When everybody stands up
00:32:57.100 and says enough is enough,
00:32:58.320 that's when we're going to
00:32:58.920 see this end.
00:33:00.220 And what is the
00:33:01.200 ostensible policy reason
00:33:02.600 in the first place of
00:33:03.600 shutting down a little
00:33:04.960 mom-pa operator like you
00:33:06.660 and yet the Costco's,
00:33:08.540 the Wal-Mart's, the
00:33:09.400 Loblaws's of the world,
00:33:10.800 they get to open.
00:33:11.880 It seems to be a double
00:33:13.660 standard, doesn't it?
00:33:15.540 Don't ask me, man.
00:33:16.660 How am I supposed to know?
00:33:17.540 I don't make policy.
00:33:18.580 I'm just supposed to enforce
00:33:20.080 it at my restaurant.
00:33:20.960 I don't know why that's
00:33:22.160 happening, but it doesn't
00:33:23.000 feel right to me and I
00:33:23.960 know there's a lot of
00:33:24.560 other people that doesn't
00:33:25.240 feel right to them either.
00:33:26.440 Well, I'm looking at this
00:33:27.180 lineup, Adam.
00:33:27.900 How soon are you going to
00:33:28.680 run out of food?
00:33:30.020 If we haven't sold out of
00:33:31.720 some meats already, I'm
00:33:32.760 sure we're going to very
00:33:33.700 soon.
00:33:34.060 We had a lot of support
00:33:34.920 today.
00:33:35.480 We have some freedom-loving
00:33:36.460 patriots that are here to
00:33:37.600 support.
00:33:38.520 I'm sure we'll be out of
00:33:39.900 food in no time.
00:33:40.780 And no fines so far,
00:33:42.000 right?
00:33:42.300 No, sir.
00:33:42.880 Not a single fine issue
00:33:44.000 today to my business,
00:33:45.180 myself, or anybody who
00:33:46.500 came here to support.
00:33:47.180 What does it feel like
00:33:48.260 to put defiance on the
00:33:49.420 menu?
00:33:50.420 F***ing amazing, bro.
00:33:52.020 Meet Adam Skelly, owner of
00:33:54.000 Adamson Barbecue and a rebel
00:33:56.040 with a cause.
00:33:57.780 And that cause is simply
00:33:59.380 trying to stay in business
00:34:00.780 in order to support his
00:34:02.440 young family, despite various
00:34:04.640 levels of government that are
00:34:06.400 trying to put this
00:34:07.400 entrepreneur out of
00:34:08.860 business.
00:34:09.920 Yeah.
00:34:10.640 And they say we're all in
00:34:12.260 this together, eh?
00:34:13.500 What a joke.
00:34:14.380 In any event, here's what
00:34:16.240 some of you had to say
00:34:17.320 about a restaurateur who
00:34:19.460 has decided that he's not
00:34:21.020 going to take it anymore.
00:34:23.900 Taris Garden writes,
00:34:25.780 The more people who stand
00:34:27.000 up, the less the government
00:34:28.260 can do about it.
00:34:29.440 I agree, Taris Garden.
00:34:31.100 It is my fervent hope that
00:34:32.540 other entrepreneurs will look
00:34:34.180 at what Adam Skelly has
00:34:36.000 done and decide that they,
00:34:37.920 too, shall follow suit.
00:34:40.100 That sort of critical mass
00:34:41.760 will really send a message
00:34:43.520 to Premier Doug, Ontario
00:34:45.760 Open for Business Ford.
00:34:47.640 Besides, what are the
00:34:49.040 authorities going to do?
00:34:50.580 Ticket and jail every rule
00:34:52.460 breaker in the entire retail
00:34:54.380 sector?
00:34:56.040 Barron Villanova writes,
00:34:57.860 Government workers should not
00:34:59.560 get paid if the public is not
00:35:02.360 allowed to work.
00:35:04.060 Huh.
00:35:04.660 Are you kidding, Barron?
00:35:06.580 Because there's one surefire
00:35:08.780 cure from being economically
00:35:11.140 affected by the Wuhan virus.
00:35:13.040 And it's this.
00:35:15.160 Just become a unionized
00:35:16.880 public sector worker.
00:35:19.100 You are safe and untouchable.

00:35:24.220 After watching this truth in
00:35:26.060 journalism tonight, I'm a proud
00:35:28.160 Canadian.
00:35:29.120 Way to go, patriots.
00:35:30.480 United we stand, divided we fall.
00:35:33.100 Well, my friend, I can tell you
00:35:34.380 this.
00:35:35.020 With few exceptions, the
00:35:37.000 mainstream media party was
00:35:38.640 definitely not on the side of
00:35:40.540 Mr. Skelly.
00:35:41.700 In fact, they were critical of the
00:35:43.660 government not shutting him down
00:35:45.920 faster.
00:35:47.320 But then again, most of the media
00:35:48.840 party receives government subsidies
00:35:50.840 to stay afloat.
00:35:52.000 So, they are kind of like public
00:35:54.400 sector workers in that regard.
00:35:56.740 Shameful.
00:35:57.400 I mean, whatever happened to the old
00:35:59.600 journalistic mantra of comfort the
00:36:01.840 afflicted and afflict the comfortable?
00:36:03.820 Well, it's kind of the opposite
00:36:06.000 these days, with the hacks working
00:36:08.040 at the Toronto Star and the
00:36:09.720 CBC, etc.
00:36:11.860 Kyle Zoldy writes,
00:36:14.100 This is 100% an attack on
00:36:16.420 independent businesses in order to
00:36:18.640 make everyone dependent on the
00:36:21.200 state.
00:36:21.920 It sure feels that way.
00:36:23.700 And what about the double standard
00:36:25.460 of who gets to open and who does
00:36:28.180 not?
00:36:28.620 Just 400 meters away from Addison
00:36:31.360 Barbecue, there is a Costco.
00:36:34.400 And when we visited that Costco, it
00:36:36.940 was jam-packed.
00:36:39.160 Gee, I guess the Wuhan virus gives a
00:36:41.420 pass to big box store shoppers, but
00:36:44.920 it really hates small operators?
00:36:47.660 Who knew?
00:36:49.400 And Creepy Little Girl writes,
00:36:51.940 Let's have a worldwide Defy the
00:36:54.240 Lockdowns movement.
00:36:55.980 Great idea, Greta.
00:36:57.000 Oh, I mean, Creepy Little Girl.
00:36:58.860 And let's start that movement, ASAP,
00:37:02.580 while there are still businesses out
00:37:04.520 there that actually have a fighting
00:37:07.080 chance.
00:37:08.280 Well, that wraps up another edition
00:37:09.920 of Rebel Roundup.

00:37:12.180 See you next week.
