00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Today, I take you through some confidential documents
00:00:03.280 released to us through Access to Information showing Teresa Tam swearing an oath of confidentiality
00:00:10.260 and loyalty to China's World Health Organization. It's incredible. She promised to keep their secrets
00:00:18.140 from us. She promised not to warn us. I'll show you the documents you can see for yourself.

00:01:01.700 Okay, here's the podcast.
00:01:02.620 Tonight, internal government documents show that Teresa Tam was on the World Health Organization
00:01:23.440 staff even while she was publicly holding herself out as Canada's public health officer.
00:01:30.220 It's February 23rd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:35.720 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:39.220 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:43.280 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:48.200 right to do so.
00:01:49.160 Some of the most patriotic people you'll ever meet are new immigrants, especially if they
00:01:58.880 fled here from a place that was a dictatorship. I can't help but notice that a disproportionate
00:02:04.160 number of people at the freedom rallies against lockdowns across Canada have an Eastern European
00:02:09.540 accent, which tells me they came from a former police state like the Soviet Union or the countries
00:02:15.660 dominated like Poland. I think it's why Poland and Hungary are to this day more freedom-oriented
00:02:22.920 than Western Europe or even us here in North America. And I mention this because I want to
00:02:28.440 prove to you that new immigrants can often be more passionate about Canadian and American
00:02:33.080 values than people who are born here because sometimes we take it for granted. Now, I'm obviously
00:02:38.960 not saying that that applies to everyone. Some people come here for economic reasons or reasons
00:02:44.880 of inertia or family reasons or because someone else in their life made a decision. But those
00:02:49.640 who care about freedom and came here with that in mind are often more switched on to these
00:02:55.740 issues, I think. For example, the Cuban community in Miami meets that test. I mean, there is no one
00:03:02.300 more passionate about the risk of Islamism, I find, than people who fled radical Islam from dictatorships
00:03:11.460 like Iran or Pakistan. Remember these good guys from a rally we had during the M103 debates?
00:03:19.040 Yeah, I support freedom speech. Never thought that even in Canada, I should support one day of freedom
00:03:28.580 speech. Because I remember that when I was in Iran, I went to jail because of lack of freedom
00:03:37.220 speech in my own country. I'm a political refugee from Iran. I've been to prison. I've been under
00:03:44.180 Islamic law and I know how it starts and I know how it ends. And it always starts with the, for some
00:03:52.820 reason, unity of left and Islamists. And it scares me. So I'm from Pakistan and I'm a Christian and my
00:04:01.220 family came here looking for a better life for themselves. We immigrated to this country and we
00:04:04.900 were so blessed to be in a place where our freedoms were, well, we had freedoms. Where we come from,
00:04:10.740 we definitely did not. And we also have Sharia law over there, including the blasphemy law, which is
00:04:15.940 just an obscene, draconian law that has just destroyed the lives of so many minorities and so
00:04:22.660 many Muslims. And so this, to us, is kind of the opening towards that law. And we just, we have to be
00:04:30.500 against it. Okay, now that I've made my point, let me tell you what I think is fair game. I don't think
00:04:37.380 it's fair game to accuse someone of having dual loyalties to another place simply because they come from
00:04:42.980 there. I don't think that's fair. Like I say, often people come here for great reasons, but I do
00:04:49.780 think it is fair game to accuse someone of having a dual loyalty if they do in fact have a dual loyalty.
00:04:56.660 And I mean that in a very tangible way, if they are paid by someone else to promote a certain point
00:05:03.140 of view, for example. That's why parliament, for instance, requires MPs to disclose other sources of
00:05:10.580 income, other business interests, just because if you're paid by someone else or something else,
00:05:16.980 you are by definition in the position of split loyalties. You can't ride two horses. At least
00:05:23.460 let us know what your other loyalties are. This is a very long preamble to my story today.
00:05:30.820 New documents obtained by Rebel News through an access to information request show that Theresa Tam,
00:05:35.700 Trudeau's public health officer, had a deep conflict of interest with the China controlled
00:05:42.660 World Health Organization all throughout the key moments of the pandemic. She was on their staff.
00:05:48.660 She was loyal to them. She had to be. She signed an agreement with them to keep their secrets
00:05:56.420 confidential, even to keep their secrets from Canadians. Stop right there for a moment.
00:06:02.580 Theresa Tam, whose job it was, we thought, to protect us from the virus that came from China,
00:06:09.700 she signed a contract forbidding her from telling us things she found out about the virus at the
00:06:16.420 World Health Organization, if it would embarrass her bosses at the China controlled WHO.
00:06:22.900 That is a conflict of interest. That's a conflict of loyalties. She was loyal to them,
00:06:27.460 not to us. And we know this because she signed a contract to that effect. That's one of the reasons
00:06:34.180 we set up our petition at FireTam.com, a petition that now has over 50,000 signatures. You just can't
00:06:40.500 obey China's WHO and also be loyal to Canada. You can't because they're at odds. Derek Sloan made that
00:06:49.060 same point during his campaign for conservative leader. He was denounced as racist, as if it was
00:06:54.420 a racial thing. Yeah, it's not racist to criticize the country of China, the dictatorship, the government
00:07:00.420 of China. It's got nothing to do with Tam's ethnicity. It has to do with her pledging loyalty
00:07:06.260 to the WHO, the chief instrument that China used to lie to the West about the pandemic. I mean,
00:07:13.460 remember this tweet here? Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found
00:07:19.300 no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus 2019 identified in Wuhan,
00:07:27.460 China. That was a lie. That cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars. But Teresa Tam worked for
00:07:37.140 them while also claiming to work for us. Well, you can't do both. So let's dive right into the
00:07:42.820 access to information documents. You can see all of them at a link underneath this video for yourself.
00:07:49.460 The documents cover one of the most important meetings that the World Health Organization had
00:07:55.060 in the pandemic. It was very early. It was in January, right around when they were pumping out
00:08:00.740 lies like that tweet I just read to you saying, the virus isn't the problem. Don't you worry, China says.
00:08:06.100 So China was banning flights from Wuhan to Beijing or other Chinese cities,
00:08:12.100 but they were telling the West not to worry about it, saying you can't catch it.
00:08:16.820 And their chief tool of propaganda was the WHO, the World Health Organization. Well,
00:08:21.380 it was obvious to pretty much everyone what was going on pretty soon. So the WHO called an emergency
00:08:28.180 meeting about the virus. It was so important, this meeting. The major newspapers like the Guardian
00:08:34.580 from Manchester did a moment-by-moment analysis of it. I've shown you this story before. It's
00:08:39.940 fascinating. Here's their sort of tick-tock hour-by-hour report.
00:08:45.860 Caught in a superpower struggle, the inside story of the World Health Organization's response to
00:08:51.380 coronavirus. Caught between the U.S. and China, the World Health body has been unable to enforce
00:08:57.460 compliance or information sharing. Now, by the way, the Guardian loves the UN. They love China. So
00:09:05.780 this is not right-wing propaganda. It was at this meeting that China insisted there was no pandemic.
00:09:11.860 Nothing was an emergency. Everything was fine. And would people please just shut up? So that was
00:09:17.780 China's point of view. That's China's interest. And of course, China controls the World Health Organization.
00:09:24.900 So it became the WHO's interest. Here, let me read a couple of key paragraphs from the Guardian.
00:09:32.020 China argued against declaring an emergency on the 22nd of January, but could not have carried the argument alone.
00:09:40.660 The other emergency members and advisors were experts from the U.S., Thailand, Russia, France,
00:09:46.980 South Korea, Canada, Japan, Netherlands, Australia, Senegal, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and New Zealand.
00:09:55.140 So do you understand what was happening? There was a big vote. America wanted to call it a pandemic. China said no.
00:10:02.100 So whose side was Canada on? Because there was a vote. Let me read.
00:10:08.900 Their advice is confidential. But for the vote to have been split, several Western or Western-aligned
00:10:16.820 representatives must have voted with Beijing. Here's one of the conclusions the Guardian drew.
00:10:23.540 Again and again, the events of January reflected the difficulties Tedros, that's the Chinese-installed
00:10:29.060 head of the World Health Organization. Tedros and his organization faced in negotiating a path
00:10:34.580 between two hostile superpowers and the egos of their leaders without any independent powers to enforce
00:10:40.980 compliance and information sharing. Got it. So this was the big meeting by the big bosses at the China-controlled WHO.
00:10:49.380 Does the WHO continue to lie to cover up for China, or do they ring the alarm for the whole world?
00:10:55.140 Well, guess who was at that meeting for Canada? Theresa Tam. She was one of the big shots at that secret
00:11:06.100 meeting. And to this day, she will not tell us who she voted for, China or the rest of the world.
00:11:13.860 Look at page two of the access to information requests we received from the government.
00:11:17.540 Tam was not just an observer at this meeting. She was an advisor. She gave advice.
00:11:23.700 What advice did she give? Did she provide advice to keep China's secrets? Or did she say we've got
00:11:31.540 a war in the world? Why can't we know what she did and said? Theresa Tam wanted to be much more than
00:11:37.060 just an observer. You know, I sort of wish we had an observer there, someone who would have observed,
00:11:42.100 and then reported back to us here in Canada to let us know what was really happening. Someone loyal to us
00:11:46.980 first, just watching China lie, not being part of the lie. Instead, she said, have you heard whether
00:11:54.020 I will be participating as an observer? She really was excited about being a player.
00:12:00.260 But look at page five of the documents. She had to disclose all of her conflicts of interest
00:12:04.820 to the China-run World Health Organization. So she had to disclose other things, other interests,
00:12:10.980 other loyalties to them. But Trudeau has never made her, to this day, disclose her conflicts to us.
00:12:19.620 And look at this. She had to agree to keep China's secrets.
00:12:24.340 Please recall that participation in any aspect of an IHR emergency committee is subject to the
00:12:31.140 following mandatory requirements. Continuing compliance with the requirements in the
00:12:35.860 confidentiality undertaking and copyright assignment, which will be sent to you.
00:12:41.140 Continuing compliance with the requirements in the declaration of interest for World Health
00:12:45.380 Organization experts. Please note that compliance with the provisions in the declaration of interest
00:12:50.340 for World Health Organization experts is an initial and ongoing obligation. Accordingly,
00:12:56.020 should actual or potential conflicts exist, arise or become known before or after participation in
00:13:02.580 an emergency committee has been commenced, continued participation may be disallowed,
00:13:07.460 disclosures required, or other steps taken as determined by the Director General.
00:13:11.540 So she can't tell us what happened. She's got to keep those secrets forever. She swore herself to secrecy.
00:13:18.660 That's what confidentiality means. To protect China's secrets. She can't tell us. And indeed,
00:13:25.300 she hasn't, has she? Tam continued to work for the World Health Organization for months,
00:13:31.300 parroting their advice here. She didn't deviate a word from their official line, did she? How could she?
00:13:37.460 She worked for them. She swore an oath of loyalty to them. And what a laugh. When the Trudeau government
00:13:43.460 got worried that someone might ask questions about this, their proposed spin would say,
00:13:48.580 oh, no, no, no, no, no. She's just there in her personal capacity. Nothing official. It's just her
00:13:55.620 hobby, you know. I mean, some people collect stamps. Some people build model railways. Some people are on
00:14:02.020 the secret World Health Organization committee voting to keep China's secrets about the Wuhan virus
00:14:07.220 as long as possible. Of course, it's not personal. We know this in part because we've got government
00:14:11.860 documents on it. The government was nervous about this. Someone in Trudeau's parliamentary affairs
00:14:17.620 branch started asking for a draft question and answers on her various World Health Organization
00:14:24.020 roles in her personal capacity. They wanted to get ready for a parliamentary committee. They were
00:14:29.700 worried someone might ask. These are the questions they were worried about,
00:14:33.700 and they had spin doctors ready to go about World Health Organization. Question. Why is the federal
00:14:40.900 government allowing so many temporary foreign workers into Canada when there is so much unemployment
00:14:45.460 and there is also a high risk of importing additional cases of COVID-19? So they had a few
00:14:50.340 people ready to answer that. Question. How will the federal government guarantee that temporary
00:14:55.780 foreign workers will not become a source of additional COVID? You can see the spin doctors there.
00:14:59.620 Here's a good one. Why is Canada continuing to support the World Health Organization when other
00:15:06.740 countries have either halted or are reconsidering their support? And Foreign Affairs is going to
00:15:14.100 answer that, but here's the key one. Look at this. By the way, I don't think any of these questions were ever
00:15:18.100 asked. Here's the key question. As a member of the Independent Oversight and Advisory Committee at the World
00:15:24.980 Health Organization, what has Dr. Theresa Tam done to improve this organization? And here are the
00:15:32.980 four spin doctors for that. Of course, I don't think anyone cares what she would have done to improve
00:15:38.900 them. It's to protect us that's more important. But that's the funny thing. No one ever asked these
00:15:45.620 questions, did they? Trudeau's staff were so worried people would ask accountability questions. Why are you
00:15:51.140 even in the World Health Organization? Why are you letting people still flow into the country?
00:15:55.540 What did Theresa Tam do to fix things? But I don't think anyone ever asked those. I don't think the
00:16:01.300 Conservative Party did either, except Derek Sloan. The media party didn't, because they all love Theresa
00:16:09.060 Tam. Sure, she's been wrong on every single issue since the beginning. Sure, she's really creepy sometimes
00:16:15.620 with bizarre advice about wearing masks when you have sex. Surely she's flip-flopped and basically
00:16:22.100 said whatever China and the World Health Organization have said on everything from the transmissibility and
00:16:28.180 flights and masks, whatever. Sure, she calls anyone who worried about the virus racist, especially those
00:16:34.340 who wanted to cut off flights from China a year ago. But she's the high priestess of the lockdowns.
00:16:40.660 And they love that. The media does the political class. They all love her. So I'm quite sure that
00:16:48.420 while these access to information documents I show you here will shock you how loyal she was to China,
00:16:56.420 how she swore she'd keep China's secrets, and indeed she has. These documents might shock you, but I don't
00:17:03.540 think they will even be so much as reported on by the mainstream media or picked up by the
00:17:10.100 conservative party, let alone be a cause for scandal as they ought to be. Of course, Theresa Tam obeys China's
00:17:19.620 World Health Organization and the UN. I mean, so does Justin Trudeau. And that never bothered the media,
00:17:28.420 did it. Stay with us for more.
00:17:42.980 Thank you all for being here. People keep asking us, what can you do for us? Open your churches.
00:17:49.220 I'm a friend of James Coates. He was my pastor for a year. And he's a fantastic man and a faithful servant of Jesus.
00:18:03.380 And we stand here in support of him, but also to send the government a message that you can't take
00:18:16.420 our rights away. That's not your job. Your job is to protect our rights. And so we come here to try to get
00:18:24.340 the message out to the government that this is a miscarriage of justice and he needs to make it right.
00:18:32.180 Why did you come down to support Pastor James? Freedom of religion, freedom of expression of
00:18:37.220 religion. I might interpret it a little bit my different, different how I obey different rules
00:18:42.820 from the government and that. But I think this is a draconian measure and therefore I felt that it's
00:18:47.140 time to stand up and speak. Well, those are what we call streeters or man on the street interviews,
00:18:52.100 Vox Populi, a huge crowd outside Edmonton's Remand Centre, a maximum security holding facility
00:19:00.580 in which Pastor James Coates now sits. He's there for the non-crime of opening up his church,
00:19:09.700 whereas actual criminals, hundreds of them, were let out of the Remand Centre because of the same
00:19:15.780 virus. It doesn't make sense. Joining us now to help us try and make sense of it,
00:19:20.100 it's our chief reporter, Sheila Gunn-Reed, who joins us now via Skype. Great to see you again, Sheila.
00:19:24.420 Hey, Ezra. Thanks for having me on the show. Well, come on. It's my pleasure. Now,
00:19:29.060 you were at the Grace Life Church just west of Edmonton on Sunday. We had a bit of a rebel
00:19:35.620 team with you. Normally, you're a lone ranger on the prairies, but we had some extra hands there.
00:19:40.900 We thought something big was going to happen. Tell me what it was like on Sunday. A bunch of cop cars
00:19:47.460 showed up, but they didn't actually do anything, did they? Sure. Yeah. To go back a little bit,
00:19:53.380 we actually were there before 5 a.m. because we thought that the RCMP were going to have a little
00:19:59.860 bit of an Adam Skelly moment, show up and change the locks on the church because the local RCMP have
00:20:05.780 been pretty hands-off with the church. They're not barging in and hauling people away in handcuffs.
00:20:13.060 That's not how they've been. And so we thought the best way for the police to avoid a confrontation,
00:20:18.580 because we knew the congregants were coming back and another pastor was coming in, that they would
00:20:23.540 come in the early hours of the morning to change the locks. Luckily, they did not, although they did
00:20:27.540 surveil the place in the wee hours of the morning. Yeah. So you were there. You were there, I think,
00:20:33.620 at 5. And it didn't, the sunrise in that part isn't until around 7.30 if my math is right. So you sat
00:20:41.300 there because that's sort of how they rolled in Toronto when they shut down Adam Skelly's barbecue.
00:20:46.740 But you say the cops were patrolling though. They did patrol past twice. They did not come in. Now,
00:20:53.300 later on as the day picked up and as services started at the church, the service, by the way,
00:20:59.620 was at capacity. They had the auditorium full. The overflow was full. They reached fire code,
00:21:06.420 which is an actual safety issue and not like COVID. And they had people in their vehicles in
00:21:12.580 the parking lot and along the street watching the live stream. And they also had loudspeakers outside
00:21:18.340 where people were sitting on benches to listen. And the church was bringing out hot drinks to keep
00:21:23.860 everybody warm because it is still winter here in Alberta. But there were at 1.7 police and law
00:21:30.900 enforcement local bylaw vehicles sort of on the street outside of the church, but nobody ever came
00:21:39.380 into the church and no tickets were issued. So I think they were doing that gathering evidence thing
00:21:44.260 on behalf of Alberta Health Services that they repeatedly did at Chris Scott's whistle stop.
00:21:49.780 Yeah. You know, I think it is possible for the police to arrest 1, 2, 300 people. It is, of course,
00:21:56.580 possible. It would require an enormous police presence, a lot of vehicles. You would have
00:22:04.580 a horrific scene that would be so shocking. It could topple the government. So at least where we are now.
00:22:13.860 Now, if things continue to go down the road of a police state and authoritarianism for another year or
00:22:18.820 two, that may not topple the government at all. I mean, that's what my old friend John O'Sullivan used
00:22:23.460 to say. It's easier to fight in the first ditch than the last ditch because now people are still
00:22:28.420 concerned about civil liberties. They see them eroding and the police state has not yet fully hardened. But
00:22:37.220 if this were to happen a year from now, oh, I really do think they would arrest 300 people.
00:22:41.860 Oh, for sure. And the thing is with Grace Life, they said, you can come every single week and arrest
00:22:50.100 whatever pastor we have on the pulpit. And there will be another pastor here the following week for
00:22:55.300 you to arrest. And it's not going to stop us. They won't be deterred. The government arresting and
00:23:02.100 taking away their pastor and now holding him for a week. I think today begins the eighth day of
00:23:07.460 confinement. It hasn't changed anything for them. They are going to gather and they are going to
00:23:15.380 pray and they are going to worship and they are not going to be limited by the government.
00:23:19.860 Well, that's incredible. You don't often see that kind of courage. You would expect it
00:23:23.860 from religious people. I mean, the lockdownism, which is the phrase I'm using because the lockdown
00:23:30.740 is the thing. But the belief in lockdowns, the superstitious faith in them that contrary to
00:23:38.340 science, they're needed. No, they're not needed. The contrary to science, they work. No, they don't
00:23:43.380 actually work. States that are locked down haven't fared any better in the United States than states
00:23:47.540 that are open, like Florida. That masks, they work, then they don't work, then they work,
00:23:53.780 but you need two of them to make them. Like this ever-changing priesthood, the high priest Anthony
00:24:00.020 Fauci, his Canadian priestess Teresa Tam, that we should hang on their every word. We cannot challenge
00:24:07.540 them or we're heretics. We have to understand. It's a superstition that has filled the void
00:24:14.420 for people who have no faith or religious belief. So you would think naturally that if anyone is going
00:24:21.140 to be able to defy lockdownism as a creed, it would be people who actually think a lot about what do I
00:24:28.980 believe in and why and who do I obey and why and what authorities are in my life and who do I have to
00:24:35.700 defer? Like most people, I don't think, think about that stuff as much as a religious person would,
00:24:40.900 especially a religious Christian. Well, sure. And, you know, when I was at the Remand Center,
00:24:46.900 because there was a protest on the Saturday before the Sunday of the service at Grace Life,
00:24:52.020 there was a protest at the Remand Center and largely a religious protest. However, there were
00:24:59.460 plenty of people there who identified as non-religious or sort of indifferent to the whole idea of religion,
00:25:06.580 but they were there also to show support for Pastor James because they truly just believe
00:25:11.940 in free speech and free thought and all those rights that are so sacred to us that we entrench them
00:25:19.540 in the charter. But you're dealing with people here who all it's very black and white for them.
00:25:26.660 They know I am obedient to God and often God and government are not in conflict with each other. And,
00:25:35.220 you know, most of our laws, as they are written, are sort of stemming from the Bible and the laws
00:25:44.020 that God gave them. So often they don't find themselves on the wrong side of the law. But
00:25:48.820 sometimes they do find themselves in opposition to the government and they know it's very black and
00:25:54.580 white. It's not something they even have to give all that much thought to. They know their obedience is
00:25:59.620 to God because while you can put them in earthly shackles, the idea of shackles for all eternity is
00:26:07.460 a little bit more frightening for people of faith. Well, it's quite a thing. And we had a team down in
00:26:15.300 Calgary at a much smaller church there that was inspired by the Edmonton Area Church. And there were two
00:26:23.780 Alberta bylaw vans there. I think they were bylaw vans. Maybe one was, I didn't quite make up the
00:26:31.220 markings. They weren't Calgary police. But what's interesting, Kian was there and our videographer
00:26:36.580 Mocha. And when Kian and Mocha came to confront these law enforcement types, they ran away.
00:26:44.900 They ran. And they got in their vehicles and they scurried about two blocks away. Well,
00:26:51.140 little did they know that we had a drone. And I don't know if you can see this footage right here,
00:26:54.740 but we had the drone follow them, come down low, film them. They took a photo of the drone and then
00:27:00.260 our drone goes back to the church. So what's my point other than it was really fun? I think that
00:27:06.100 if you are a bylaw enforcement officer in Canada in February 2021, you still think of yourself as a
00:27:14.100 person who, well, is a car parked somewhere? It shouldn't be. Is a dog off leash? Is there some
00:27:26.100 low-level bylaw infraction that is too mundane for a real policeman to come? You go around,
00:27:34.020 you're sort of like a bit of a community busybody making sure things are fine.
00:27:37.380 And you probably think of yourself as a good guy. You probably, you know, keep things neat,
00:27:44.740 tidy, orderly kind of thing. And now you're being told that you are a secret policeman going to shut
00:27:53.300 down an illegal church. And you are actually being told that you have to knock on the door of a church
00:28:00.340 and hand a ticket to a pastor. Now, there are some people out there who have in their blood an
00:28:06.580 authoritarian streak who want to be cruel and want to command others. But I've got to think
00:28:14.100 that an ordinary bylaw officer in Canada, at least for now, is uncomfortable with his new mission
00:28:21.780 of shutting down churches. Like that's why I said for now, one, two years down the road,
00:28:26.660 I'm sure they'll be conditioned into this cruelty and they'll love it. They'll love it. Like in the book
00:28:32.500 Fahrenheit 451, the thrill of burning books, the smell of the kerosene almost became erotic for the
00:28:42.020 official book burners. So I'm sure if this continues for another year, Sheila, you'll have cops who love
00:28:47.940 smashing churches. But for now, I don't think it's a normal thing.
00:28:51.860 No, but as you are right, the further we get away from that first two weeks to flatten the curve,
00:28:58.820 the more normal this is. And the further we get away from what normal was. When I was at the at Grace
00:29:06.180 Life, and there were people who, you know, they, they hadn't, they had come from sort of all around
00:29:11.540 to go to Grace Life, even though they try their best to limit their attendance to their registered
00:29:17.700 congregants just because everybody wants to come. But they said, for a lot of people coming into the
00:29:24.260 church, it was normal again. And it was like a wave of normal washed over them. Oh yes, this is what
00:29:32.500 it used to be like in the before times. And in the before times. And so this is what it's like when we
00:29:39.140 gather with our friends and our family in a community of believers and we sing without masks on
00:29:44.180 and we're side by side. And sometimes we're holding hands, we're raising our hands to praise God.
00:29:49.940 You remember how far you've come and Grace Life serves as a baseline for what normal was. And I
00:29:57.780 think that's why some of these more authoritarian types are very eager to crack down on these rebellion,
00:30:03.940 rebellious churches. And I hate to use the word rebellious churches because they're not rebellious.
00:30:08.100 They're being normal. And, but that's, that's why there's this drive to crack down on these churches
00:30:13.780 because they, they hold sacred that normalcy that so many of us are starting to forget about.
00:30:19.700 Yeah, you're so right. The before times I use that phrase too much. Well, Sheila, I'm so glad that
00:30:23.780 you're leading our coverage there. We had a few rebels come out to, to give you some reinforcements. I
00:30:28.340 hope you'll keep covering the story. It should be a national scandal that the pastor is now in jail for a
00:30:33.700 week for this. But like I say, lockdownism is the new religion of the establishment. So, you know,
00:30:40.020 CBC, Globe and Mail, they don't really care. They probably don't like Christians much to begin with.
00:30:45.060 And if one of them is defying St. Teresa Tam, well, he has to be jailed. Keep it up, my friend.
00:30:51.940 I definitely will. And I want to point out that I must, because I'm the only journalist or our team now,
00:30:58.340 we're the only journalists that, journalists that have been ever allowed inside Grace Life
00:31:04.180 on the property to tell their side of the story. So I know at Rebel News, we take the trust of the
00:31:09.460 congregation very seriously. And we're going to continue to not tell the other side of the story,
00:31:14.260 to tell the full story of what's happening at Grace Life.
00:31:16.820 Right on. Thanks. All right. There you have it. Sheila Gunn-Reed. And by the way,
00:31:20.420 if you haven't signed our petition yet, go to freepastorjames.com. Last I checked,
00:31:25.460 we had nearly 5,000 signatures. I do need to. Stay with us more.
00:31:41.060 On my show last night, Wendy writes, Trudeau also refused to recognize the Yezidis genocide by ISIL.
00:31:47.140 And no one bothers to talk about the persecution of Falun Gong. Apparently only Canadians are capable
00:31:51.620 of great evil. Yeah, I think I saw an image today of Trudeau marching with Armenians
00:31:57.140 about the Armenian genocide. I don't know if he's verbally said those words. So I think he does the
00:32:03.140 math. Who does he care about and not care about? How many groups of a certain ethnicity are in
00:32:08.100 Canada? I think Trudeau really will say anything or do anything if there's money or votes involved.
00:32:15.620 I think he's deeply amoral. He only really cares about himself. Paul writes,
00:32:21.860 it's easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they've been fooled. I think that's right,
00:32:27.220 isn't it? Larry writes, Trudeau admires their basic dictatorship system. That alone should have
00:32:32.740 disqualified him from office. But here we are. You can't beat someone with no one. Has Aaron O'Toole
00:32:39.140 made the case to Canadians that he'd be a better prime minister? I don't know. If you're a liberal,
00:32:44.420 you're not going to vote for him. And if you're a conservative, why would you get off your couch to
00:32:48.660 support him? I don't think he supports you. I think if you look at the past six months,
00:32:54.740 what has Aaron O'Toole done to define his term, his short term as leader? I have a tough time
00:33:00.500 listing anything other than sacking people he doesn't like, whether it was Jim Carahalios,
00:33:06.660 Derek Sloan. I think they're about to throw Cheryl Gallant out of the party. He sacked Pierre
00:33:11.460 Paulieff. He threw Rebel News under the bus. I think if I had to name an accomplishment of
00:33:16.420 Aaron O'Toole these last six months, it would be cancel culture, as in the doing it,
00:33:22.260 not the fighting against it. That's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us
00:33:27.380 here at Rebel World headquarters, to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
