Summary
The other day, a can of Bud Light was festooned with pronouns that do not reside in any dictionary that I know of, and I don t even know how to pronounce them. And yet, I was curious as to why these pronouns were placed on the can in the first place.

tonight oh no even beer cans have gone woke it's thursday july 14th 2022 i'm david menzies and
00:00:25.060
this is the ezra laven show shame on you you sensorious bug
00:00:33.940
so the other day a can of bud light lands in front of me upon the table and it was like no other can
00:00:49.360
of bud light i've seen before which is to say it was festooned with a rainbow and a command to quote
00:00:56.560
celebrate everyone's identity end quote now at this particular time i was identifying as a parched
00:01:05.100
humanoid in the summer sun who simply wanted to quench my thirst with some cold suds full disclosure
00:01:12.700
despite its inexplicable popularity bud light is not a desirable brand of beer for me
00:01:19.820
budweiser itself truly meets the proverbial bad beer definition of horse piss so why would i even want
00:01:28.340
further watered down pseudo equine urine in my glass but as sailors tend to say any port in a storm i
00:01:36.880
suppose but nevertheless what was this odd can in front of me was it a container for beer or was it
00:01:45.200
propaganda to indoctrinate drinkers to embrace a facet of critical race theory or critical sexual
00:01:53.480
orientation theory as the case may be in addition to the celebrate command the can was festooned with
00:02:01.320
pronouns there were the classic pronouns you know she him her they etc but then there were a bunch of
00:02:10.120
made-up words which i imagine are whiz-bang new age pronouns that do not reside in any dictionary that i
00:02:18.760
know of indeed i don't even know how to pronounce these words which is a pressing concern for someone who
00:02:25.440
currently identifies as a journalist and get this labat breweries which brews bud light in canada they
00:02:34.000
have apparently axed the call center so calling the 1-800 phone number on the can is an exercise in
00:02:42.240
futility as there are no more he's or hers or they's picking up the telephone these days anyway in the days
00:02:51.200
following i remained obsessed with those made-up words in both english and french no less as a side
00:02:57.440
note i'll have to ask my francophone colleague alexa lavoie if she can make sense of the words in french
00:03:05.840
say how do you say phony baloney in french so it was that yesterday i traveled to the labat brewery in
00:03:13.840
london no not the real london the ontario london that is to see if anyone could educate me check it out
00:03:24.880
reception yes hi there um my name is david menzies and i'm with rebel news and i'm just hoping to speak to a
00:03:32.880
spokesperson about these um bud light pens it's you know they have words on it i'm not even trying to pronounce
00:03:39.680
them x e x e m s i e h i r i was just trying to find out what these words are how you pronounce them
00:03:48.480
you know who's responsible for that is is there someone that could speak to me um
00:03:57.040
um i'll send someone out to the gate thank you so much thank you thank you
00:04:01.920
oh hi there sir how are you doing good do you work for labat uh no i don't oh okay
00:04:12.960
are you the lady that's uh gonna talk about the bike light can do you know what an xc is or an xir
00:04:21.280
no it's on the can i have nothing to do with marketing so isn't that interesting not even the
00:04:29.360
people at labat know what these words are or how to pronounce them and no i never received a
00:04:35.680
response to my emailed query and no labrat corporate did not get back to me either but the
00:04:43.840
question arises what is the purpose of putting all this gender gibberish on cans of beer and bud light is
00:04:52.400
no fringe mere beer made by some cottage brewery in the gay village bud light is about as mainstream as
00:05:00.320
it gets do you think the average consumer of bud light gives a rodent's rectum about bogus gender
00:05:08.240
descriptors what is labat even thinking indeed is there even 10 people in all of canada who refer to
00:05:16.720
themselves as an xe or xem or an s-i-e or an h-i-r or a z-e or a z-i-r i think ground zero for pronoun a
00:05:30.080
palooza goes back to 2016 when the great jordan peterson took a stand against compelled speech he
00:05:38.160
refused to use makeup words to describe students who attended his former place of employment that being
00:05:45.280
the university of toronto and for taking a sane and righteous stand the various spirit unicorns and
00:05:53.440
their asinine allies on campus had a conniption of course demanding professor peterson be punished
00:06:00.720
but thankfully peterson did not bend the knee and in an interview with the bbc he stated the following
00:06:06.640
quote i've studied authoritarianism for a very long time for 40 years and they've started by people's
00:06:14.480
attempts to control the ideological and linguistic territory there's no way i'm going to use words
00:06:22.640
made up by people who are doing that not a chance end quote bravo but alas earlier this month professor
00:06:31.760
peterson was kicked off twitter for apparently hurting the feelings of ellen page who is now going by the
00:06:38.480
name elliott page jeez talk about a real page turner ray anyway peterson called the person who performed
00:06:46.640
surgery on her a quote criminal physician end quote and that was good enough for the censorious thugs
00:06:54.560
at twitter to cast aside professor peterson hey what happened to that diversity we're all supposed to be
00:07:02.480
embracing or is a diversity of opinions offside even when it comes to a company such as twitter
00:07:11.040
that is based in the land of the first amendment now granted peterson can return to twitter all he
00:07:18.080
has to do is apologize and delete the controversial tweet instead he released a video statement claiming
00:07:25.040
he'd rather die end quote than do that oh how we need more strong men such as jordan peterson
00:07:34.400
can i call him a man by the way indeed peterson is akin to the little boy in the fable the emperor's new clothes
00:07:42.240
you may recall that the boy was the sole individual in the village who called out
00:07:47.040
the duped king for not wearing any clothes at all when that fable was penned way back in 1837
00:07:55.200
the boy came across as the voice of reason in 2022 alas being the voice of reason gets you banned and
00:08:02.240
de-platformed and even fired lest you hurt the feelings of someone who might be you know mentally ill
00:08:10.640
and in urgent need of psychiatric treatment and i do not exaggerate when i reference mental illness
00:08:17.760
i hearken back to the 1973 non-fiction best-selling book sibyl now sibyl was one of the names adopted by
00:08:25.520
shirley ardell mason she actually identified as 16 different people for example one person she identified
00:08:34.400
as was peggy lou baldwin who was described as assertive enthusiastic and often angry sometimes
00:08:43.360
she identified as mike dorsett who was a builder and a carpenter and so on and so forth but here's
00:08:51.680
the deal folks in yester decade sibyl was being treated for a psychiatric condition namely disassociative
00:09:00.000
identity disorder but hey in retrospect perhaps sibyl wasn't mentally ill at all but rather she he
00:09:09.440
was way ahead of the curve could it be that sibyl was a they and they should not have been occupying
00:09:17.920
the couch of a psychiatrist but rather they should have been championed on a beer can welcome to the
00:09:26.160
tyranny of the tyranny of the minority and by the way folks even if you are not part of the alphabet soup
00:09:33.520
community but you identify as a close ally you better damn well make sure you know you're knitting
00:09:40.720
or else you might just end up unemployed despite your good intentions case in point back in 2017
00:09:49.520
former liberal party of canada president stephen le drew was on fox news for a q a with the always
00:09:56.800
superb tucker carlson the interview was primarily about the new gender identifier code or whatever it's
00:10:04.880
called being embraced by the elementary teachers federation of ontario you see lgbt is just way too
00:10:14.720
obsolete these days so it is the federation now refers to this group with a 15 letter identifier namely l g g b d
00:10:28.320
t t t i q q a a p p now this love and spoonful of alphagetti stands for lesbian gay gender queer bisexual
00:10:43.680
demisexual transgender transsexual two-spirit intersex queer questioning asexual allies pansexual
00:10:55.520
and polyamorous as an aside folks did you notice that one letter is conspicuously absent namely h for
00:11:05.200
heterosexual you know that silly sexual orientation that comprises about 98 percent of the people on this
00:11:13.520
planet but i digress now keep in mind that le drew was on the air trying to convince tucker that this
00:11:23.120
new descriptor was a good thing and that freedom of speech is very much alive in canada today no seriously
00:11:32.480
but then le drew answered a question from tucker that resulted in him being terminated by his employer
00:11:40.480
bell media check it out i'll get specific with you what's and this is meaningful because teachers are
00:11:46.320
being taught this kids will be taught it and i think i have a right to non-judgmentally ask what
00:11:50.720
they're talking about so for example what's two-spirit well two-spirit sounds like there's someone they
00:11:56.320
don't know whether they're uh you know fish or fowl they don't know whether they're frick or frack so
00:12:00.720
they're clearly confused and you know again if you're confused what better place to go than to be at school
00:12:06.400
uh-oh spaghetti oh did you catch that le drew described two-spirited people as fish or fowl
00:12:15.600
fricker frack and clearly confused well when the various non-binary gender-fluid asexual spirit
00:12:24.560
unicorns heard about this they went completely bat-shike crazy over this remark after all that
00:12:31.360
almost sounded like they were being mocked and we can't have that now can we because mocking or even
00:12:39.520
saying something that seems to be mocking or calling a group of people confused well that's
00:12:47.520
kind of like hate speech and that must be banned and so it was in the days that followed le drew's 20
00:12:54.000
year career at bell media came to an abrupt end hey le drew how you dig in liberalism these days
00:13:02.320
in a way this would all be so laughable if there wasn't a sinister undertone to it all
00:13:09.440
for example radical transgenderism goes hand in hand with marxism it's all about tearing down society
00:13:17.520
to rebuild it through a marxist lens if you think i exaggerate then consider this we now have a u.s
00:13:24.800
supreme court judge who is unable to define what a woman is here in canada our chief medical health
00:13:32.640
necromancer teresa tam she refers to pregnant women as pregnant persons the term breastfeeding is
00:13:41.600
increasingly under the ban the proper and oh so inclusive term is chest feeding yes yet another
00:13:50.320
made-up word for dudes i guess who think they can lactate gee whatever happened to follow the science
00:14:00.400
that's the chestnut that has been shoved down our throats for the past two and a half years vis-a-vis
00:14:05.920
virology hmm maybe biology is now a fluid science which would explain why biological males are competing
00:14:16.880
in sports with biological females and why penis equipped males are choosing to be incarcerated in
00:14:26.240
female penitentiaries and gee what could possibly go wrong with that and riddle me this why is it that
00:14:34.560
the feminist movement is so on board with all of this claptrap because what we are seeing is nothing
00:14:42.480
short of a war on woman as in real woman indeed at the end of the day this is pure misogyny as well as
00:14:52.880
an attack on the nuclear family and the left is perfectly fine with this and the likes of labat seem to be
00:15:02.160
perfectly fine with this too hey either labat has some uber woke soy boy in charge of the marketing
00:15:09.360
department these days or they believe that if they bend the knee to the loud radical fringe who comprise the
00:15:18.960
l g g b d t t t i q q a a p p and sometimes y community then they will be left alone and won't be
00:15:31.200
targeted for a boycott or something either way those ludicrous celebrate everyone's identity cans
00:15:40.480
are shameful and embarrassing thank god there are so many other beers on the market
00:15:48.400
it's bad enough that bud light is plonk to begin with the last thing i need when i'm quenching my thirst
00:15:56.080
is a lecture that is equal parts surreal and sickening
00:16:12.800
well folks when it comes to patrick brown's leadership ambitions to be the new leader of the
00:16:18.960
conservative party of canada the phrase uttered in first blood by colonel troutman comes to mind
00:16:26.400
it's over johnny it's over well yeah there's still some legal wrangling uh to take place but for the
00:16:34.880
most part uh it's curtains for patrick brown par for the course mr brown broke the rules he got caught
00:16:43.600
breaking the rules and then he played the victim card saying there was a grand conspiracy and that
00:16:49.760
everyone was out to get him unbelievable and somewhat pathetic if you ask me but joining me now
00:16:57.520
is my guest he is the leader of the new blue party of ontario he is someone that has had personal
00:17:04.800
dealings with patrick brown and we thought it would be good to get his analysis of this latest patrick
00:17:11.360
brown fiasco so i'm joined now by jim carrie halios of the new blue party of ontario how you doing there
00:17:18.000
jim i'm good dave how are you doing i'm doing fantastic busy as always my friend which is the
00:17:24.080
way we like it here at rebel news but uh jim i'm sure you've been watching ringside as the events of the
00:17:32.160
conservative party of canada leadership saga unfolds and when it came to light that mr brown was
00:17:39.760
allegedly breaking the rules and was tossed out of the party what were your first thoughts my friend
00:17:46.720
well it was shocking that they let him run to begin with if you remember back in 2020 dave i was in that
00:17:52.240
conservative party leadership race and they disqualified me from that race because uh the
00:17:58.400
leadership committee that was running the election didn't like the fact that i was criticizing
00:18:03.200
the chair of another leadership campaign aaron o'tools who was the same individual that was
00:18:08.480
running the patrick brown led pc party of ontario and back in 2017 patrick brown and his team used
00:18:15.440
the pc party to sue me to try to hurt my family and shut down the axe the carbon tax campaign and a
00:18:22.400
campaign against voter fraud that was going on so fast forward the conservative party of canada finally
00:18:28.960
figured it out in the middle of a leadership race that maybe some of the shenanigans in patrick brown's
00:18:34.080
record aren't what they want in a leadership race so they've come around to taking my position
00:18:39.120
on following the rules and following election laws i'm not quite sure why it took them so long dave
00:18:46.080
to get to the position they took and i'm not really sure that the reasons they gave for disqualifying
00:18:51.280
patrick brown now are greater than all of the uh history and the track record that he has as a
00:18:58.320
leader of the ontario pc party prior to this leadership race you know uh you raise some good
00:19:03.280
points there jim and first of all uh if we go back to the years when patrick brown was indeed
00:19:10.160
the leader of the ontario pc party uh you mentioned axe the carbon tax and what i always found fascinating
00:19:17.040
is why this individual passes himself off as a conservative i remember him telling when he was
00:19:23.760
running for leadership of the pc party of ontario telling social conservatives oh i'm going to axe
00:19:29.360
the mcginty win uh sex education curriculum and once he became leader he said ah no nothing no problems
00:19:36.320
here we threw the uh social conservatives under the bus and then one of his first policy statements was
00:19:42.560
introducing a carbon tax for ontario a manufacturing province still um and so he threw the fiscal
00:19:51.120
conservatives under the bus there was no more conservatives to throw under the bus so the
00:19:55.040
party threw him under the bus why is this person who seems to be uh a progressive a liberal to me uh jim
00:20:04.160
why does he pass himself off as a conservative in the first place well the betrayal of uh the base
00:20:11.920
on policy by patrick brown has been well documented not by the establishment media but obviously dave
00:20:17.760
you were covering it and the way he tried to use the levers of power in the ontario pc party uh to
00:20:24.400
crush uh my family and to end the acts the carbon tax campaign and the campaign against internal party
00:20:29.920
voter fraud i guess he finds a home though in the conservative party of canada because there are enough
00:20:36.800
enough amongst the conservative party of canada establishment that are fine with his positions on
00:20:42.800
policy and his track record they took me to task in the 2020 conservative leadership race for me
00:20:49.200
flagging the history of patrick brown and his team when they were running the ontario pc party they
00:20:54.640
didn't like that i was talking about that stuff in 2020 fast forward now two years later and it's become the
00:21:00.800
conservative party of canada's position and if you look though the ontario pc party they've consistently
00:21:08.880
adopted the patrick brown line with even as doug ford as leader betraying conservative voters
00:21:14.880
is par for the course in the ontario pc party so the question is not just why does patrick brown
00:21:20.000
believe he should be in the conservative party of canada why do many of those establishment figures
00:21:25.280
and backroom dealers who are left-wing advocates on social fiscal or democratic policy why do they
00:21:31.760
continually stay involved in the conservative party canada and the ontario pc party and with authority
00:21:37.680
and vengeance push others out of their parties who are right of center or conservative minded and block
00:21:43.920
you dave from coming to events well jim that's an excellent question and you stole my thunder i i was
00:21:50.000
going to say i would ask uh premier ford himself but every time i show up to an event these days
00:21:55.920
they called the police on me i used to be welcome with open arms uh doug i don't know what happened
00:22:01.840
to him but you know um the other thing uh jim with you being a political party insider you know how
00:22:09.120
things work you know who's who in the zoo as they say patrick brown has hired arguably the best criminal
00:22:15.680
lawyer in canada marie heinen to go after the conservative party of canada uh he's saying he's being
00:22:23.200
hard done by etc but as i understand it jim and maybe you can you know take us through this um when
00:22:30.080
these kind of complaints have come before judges in the past they basically ruled that a political
00:22:36.400
party is like a private company or a private club that they can make their own rules they don't have to
00:22:43.600
follow uh democratic rules so to speak as a party not as a government of course so i guess ultimately
00:22:50.080
the question is uh even with top notch legal talent like miss heinen does patrick brown have a snowball's
00:22:57.680
chance in hell in getting a reversal of the decision from the cpc so let's unpack this dave because it's
00:23:05.920
you know i guess we could say it's inside baseball legal stuff is not very exciting but it's an important
00:23:12.080
question and so there's i want to get to a couple of things number one if you look at the amount of
00:23:18.080
establishment media coverage that patrick brown is getting for being disqualified it's it's amazing
00:23:24.400
because um i was removed from the conservative party leadership race halfway during the 2020 race
00:23:30.000
and i had to go to court i went court and i won the lawsuit and was reinstated and they disqualified
00:23:36.160
me a second time and they just basically ran out the clock the conservative party to make sure that
00:23:41.840
um by the time uh the first court case was over i'd have to put more legal money into a second case and
00:23:48.400
the clock would run out because the race was still going on and you look you know thomas malcare the
00:23:52.880
former leader of the ndp wrote an article for ctv news the other day and he claimed that the courts have
00:23:59.280
said that political parties are under um judicial review and that was completely false because he was
00:24:06.000
citing a case from 2017 that was later overturned by the courts in fact you can sue a political party
00:24:13.680
and there is a case that there's a precedent for that and it's carololios versus the conservative
00:24:18.640
party of canada i sued them over that 2020 race and i won and it was the first time in canadian history
00:24:25.440
that a private citizen had successfully sued a political party and a couple of years before that
00:24:30.720
the ontario pc party sued me to try to bankrupt me with patrick brown as leader and i won
00:24:35.840
that a lawsuit as well so no other private citizen has ever been sued or sued a political party and
00:24:42.080
no one has ever beaten a political party in court there was one other individual after in 2021 that
00:24:48.480
took the conservative party canada court for an internal party race and i guess i kind of broke
00:24:53.360
the ice but if you look at the media they ignore the 2020 disqualification they ignore my case even
00:24:59.440
existed and why are they doing that because you know the establishment media will talk about patrick
00:25:04.960
brown because he's the kind of candidate they like preaching left of center policies but they
00:25:10.160
don't want to talk about the fact that um me with the conservative campaign for leader in 2020 talking
00:25:15.680
about acts the carbon tax talking about integrity in the party got removed and won in court so
00:25:21.440
i guess there's a lot to unpack there number one can he sue and win yes because i laid the precedent
00:25:26.960
in canadian history and i and i put the proper legal theory with my team of lawyers and we worked on
00:25:32.960
it and you can sue it's not a judicial review it is a private uh entity a political party but they
00:25:39.280
enter into contracts and when you pay a fee to enter a leadership race and there's a contract for that
00:25:45.200
you can sue and you can win now the the bigger question though is if you sue and you win and you get
00:25:51.440
back in it they're kind of the odds are stacked against you because they can keep making decisions
00:25:59.200
and you can't at some point you can't keep going to court to um fight that off and then the bigger
00:26:05.120
question for patrick brown is does he have the stomach does he have the courage to sue them and go
00:26:10.960
through with it and you know they've been taking a few days here i don't know if he does it looks like
00:26:15.760
he's he's um um hedging his bets and looking at maybe running for uh mayor of brampton uh i did it
00:26:23.760
i won they kicked me out again a second time and you know they've got the uh levers of power at their
00:26:29.840
disposal and they can keep disqualifying people over and over but there is a precedent to win
00:26:35.120
in court it just hasn't been done very often if at all dave you know that's very interesting jim and
00:26:40.480
i do stand corrected given uh your success but as you said uh they threw you out again and they
00:26:46.400
basically uh ragged the puck until the clock ran down so i guess the old adage you can win the battle
00:26:53.920
lose the war i suppose but in terms of uh the war with patrick brown i i think you're right i i think
00:27:00.400
probably he's subscribing to uh a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush he's got to make a decision
00:27:06.400
by august 19th uh whether he's going to run for mayor again in uh brampton and one of the things
00:27:13.600
that isn't getting a lot of attention jim is the way in which this individual has been running the
00:27:19.280
city of brampton a city he's had absolutely no affiliation with until 2018 where he there was you
00:27:26.160
know he thought he had a chance of being the mayor and he did win it and that is uh jim there's in the last
00:27:32.800
four council meetings have been cancelled because brown and his uh i the councillors who are friendly
00:27:41.760
to him do not show up to city council so only five councillors do that's one short of a quorum
00:27:49.440
and basically as i understand it the reason why he doesn't want to have the council operate is that
00:27:55.680
one of the orders of business is to launch forensic investigations against them and how money is being
00:28:01.760
spent at the city how hiring is being done i mean jim i find this incredible if he was prime minister
00:28:07.760
it's kind of like proroguing parliament because you don't want to take prickly questions and question
00:28:12.720
period what do you make of the way patrick brown has won has run the city of brampton and does that
00:28:20.080
not speak volumes of what kind of a leader we would have in this country if god forbid this individual
00:28:26.720
ever did become prime minister and you just summed up his record as mayor of brampton and there was
00:28:33.520
plenty of uh items that you could have talked about in his um uh time as leader of the pc party in 2016
00:28:41.760
and 2017 running up to that election in 2018 why can't anybody beat patrick brown except for me that's one
00:28:50.800
question dave why can't the establishment of the pc party or the conservative party beat him fair and
00:28:56.560
square in a race why couldn't they beat him for mayor in 2018 you had nick cuvalis and richard chiano
00:29:02.720
and michael diamond top advisors for doug ford in 2018 their contribution to running someone against
00:29:09.760
uh patrick brown for mayor of brampton was to host a fancy uh fundraising dinner at the albany club for a
00:29:17.120
liberal who was running against patrick brown for mayor and that didn't work out so fundraisers at
00:29:22.240
swanky events at the albany club are not grassroots organizing and the pc establishment has a long
00:29:28.400
history of losing outside of running a campaign in 2018 on axing the carbon tax or hiding behind
00:29:35.600
covid so there is so much to talk about when you're in a campaign against patrick brown whether it's his
00:29:41.440
record leading the pc party nominations that went sideways that he didn't reverse into a democratic
00:29:47.840
fashion betraying voters and now even more stuff as the mayor of brampton so the question is why can't
00:29:54.480
they just beat him in a democratic race why couldn't uh even pierre's team or roman's team or leson's team
00:30:01.040
in the leadership talk about and debate this stuff patrick brown's record and make sure that it was an easy
00:30:07.840
win and why couldn't they stop him in 2018 when he was running for mayor and i see nick cuvales ford's
00:30:13.680
pollster he's you know tweeting very aggressively he loves the twitter he really talks tough hiding
00:30:19.120
behind the twitter about how he's going to stop patrick brown running for mayor i just don't think
00:30:24.000
swanky fundraising dinners is the way to beat patrick brown uh even so jim i just think the big question
00:30:29.920
is with these latest uh scandals and and by the way uh this doesn't include our expose that we ran last
00:30:37.040
month when we caught patrick brown running as um a secret headquarters uh using at least six uh city of
00:30:47.040
brampton senior staff on work time working his campaign completely against the rules but i'm just
00:30:53.440
wondering given that patrick brown and scandal seem to go together about as well as you know peanut butter
00:30:59.840
and jam um has patrick brown's brand is it now gone once and for all or is he kind of like the political
00:31:10.320
um version of that horror character from the friday the 13th movies you know jason voorhees when you
00:31:16.880
think that the bad guy's dead and then he pops up again and he keeps on going i mean uh if he does run
00:31:23.920
for mayor of the city of brampton are there enough people out there to buy what this guy is selling
00:31:30.560
uh yes because what the establishment just did to patrick brown is uh inject uh more fuel
00:31:38.640
into his grassroots campaign they made the mistake in 2018 i was running a campaign against the carbon
00:31:44.640
tax and against voter fraud in the party the establishment behind the pc party planted stories
00:31:50.000
digging into uh patrick brown's relationships from years ago that why not just talk about and clean
00:31:56.880
up the pc party they chose they didn't want to do that because they agreed with his position on the
00:32:00.800
carbon tax fast forward to 2022 they let him run in the leadership they let it run its course and they
00:32:08.000
boot him on one allegation and now you've created this entire spectacle that the establishment media is
00:32:15.120
talking about now for days this idea that he might sue the idea that he was you know uh and people are
00:32:22.240
arguing about it was it legit that he was disqualified under this or not so what does that do you're
00:32:26.720
creating uh a spectacle around this guy you're increasing his name recognition rather than
00:32:32.560
challenging him on the issues which is what they should have been doing talking about his track record
00:32:38.000
and talking about his betrayal of conservative voters but they don't want to do that they want
00:32:41.920
to talk about one allegation in the leadership and they want to talk about his relationship history
00:32:47.920
uh back in 2018 and there i hate to say it dave because i know i saw your face you didn't want me
00:32:52.800
to give you this answer but they're adding fuel to the fire and he can parlay that into a grassroots
00:32:58.080
campaign like he did in 2018 and keep that seat and you know as much as nick cuvales might not want to
00:33:03.680
hear it uh fancy polls and fundraising dinners at the albany club is not enough to beat a guy in a
00:33:09.520
grassroots campaign and he does work really hard patrick brown he is a disaster when it comes to
00:33:15.760
running parties he doesn't know how to tell people that run and do shady deals to back away and sometimes
00:33:22.480
he gets mixed up in in it himself whether he's actually ordering that or not or not we won't know
00:33:29.680
because we never get to the bottom of this stuff with the establishment uh but you know he's almost
00:33:34.480
obsessive in terms of he's constantly campaigning from one campaign to the other municipal federal
00:33:39.680
back and provincial for a brief time and it's going to take a lot of uh work to stop him running for
00:33:46.240
mayor brampton and it's going to take a debate on the issues and someone principled that says this
00:33:52.240
betrayal of conservative voters this drive to the left is not acceptable jim we're almost out of time we
00:33:58.800
got about a minute left uh i just want to ask you in terms of last month's election in ontario i mean
00:34:06.640
i was personally saddened that your wife belinda carahalios uh did not retain her seat i thought even
00:34:12.560
if we just have one independent in queens park at least she could have been um a the conscience of the
00:34:19.840
legislature if you will um certainly i think a couple of things went wrong uh one was the ndp and
00:34:28.560
the liberals they ran brutal campaigns and they had lackluster leaders secondly tons of people
00:34:35.920
stayed at home they didn't bother coming out it was one of the lowest if not the lowest turnout
00:34:40.400
in ontario history uh and that's probably why the doug ford pcs went up seven seats to an even bigger
00:34:47.200
majority very quickly in less than a minute jim what is your assessment of the uh 2022 uh election that
00:34:55.200
occurred in ontario last month well well you're right they lost 400 000 votes the pcs from um the
00:35:00.960
last election to this one and that's despite the fact they gained hundreds of thousands of voters from
00:35:06.480
the left party so you can imagine the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of conservative voters who
00:35:11.040
didn't vote and we had a year and a half to two years to get the new blue party up and running we're
00:35:16.320
very proud of the fact that we registered 124 candidates finished the race with one of our
00:35:21.200
candidates on a ballot in every single riding and um we are now the fifth largest party uh in ontario
00:35:27.840
politics we had a better showing in our first election in ontario than the ppc did as a federal
00:35:32.800
party in their first election and no parties uh obtained the vote share or the number of votes in their
00:35:38.720
first election campaign in ontario uh since the 1930s outside of the pcs liberals and ndp of course we
00:35:45.360
would have liked to have retained our seat in cambridge and belinda worked so hard for the
00:35:49.600
constituents in the year and a half but when the establishment media ignores our campaign ignores
00:35:55.760
uh the way belinda and i and our candidates have been fighting back that puts us at a disadvantage
00:36:00.880
a year and a half is all also not enough time to make the new blue party of ontario a household name
00:36:07.920
and uh you know dave you've seen a lot of me and maybe sometimes you think it's too much a gym but
00:36:12.640
uh belinda and i've only been in politics for four or five years and some of these other political
00:36:16.960
figures uh that we talk about have been in it for decades and they have built in a name brand doug
00:36:22.480
is still borrowing on the name brand of his brother rob right and even a little bit from their dad and
00:36:27.680
so this stuff takes time and uh many many voters in ontario we had record low turnout did not show up
00:36:33.840
to vote and our job is to let them know that the new blue party exists and that it's and then that
00:36:38.720
it's a team of uh people across ontario that are qualified to be elected to uh ontario provincial
00:36:45.520
parliament and we'll be back in four years and we'll keep building on the ground in every single
00:36:49.200
riding because one thing that the election showed us for sure is that hundreds of thousands if not
00:36:55.440
millions of people in ontario are tired of the establishment parties they want another option
00:37:00.240
and it's going to take us time to earn their trust and let them know that the new blue party exists
00:37:04.720
and we're going to have to fight the challenges of hostile characters uh on the right of center
00:37:10.400
spectrum that appear to be saying all the right rhetoric but are trying to hurt the new blue party
00:37:15.440
and we're going to have to unite with those that are sincere and keep challenging those that are out
00:37:20.640
to sabotage us so there's a lot at play here but it takes time dave and it takes a lot of work and we're
00:37:25.680
continuing with it well jim i want to thank you for your time and certainly 2026 in political terms
00:37:32.400
the next election that's an eternity i'm sure we'll be uh speaking uh many times before then
00:37:39.440
and i wish you the best of luck thank you so much again for your time jim thanks a lot dave
00:37:45.840
and that was jim carahalios the leader of the new blue party of ontario keep it here folks more of
00:38:06.880
well checking some of the feedback from yesterday's ezreal event show we have claude who writes
00:38:12.880
youtube has shut down practically everything on this completely i think he means the what's going on in
00:38:19.520
the netherlands right now with the farmer revolt folks in fact it's exceedingly difficult to find
00:38:25.520
anything new on this situation online the common people around the globe are in serious trouble
00:38:33.040
anyone else notice that suddenly there are new covet emergencies ever since these uprisings started
00:38:41.680
you know a couple points here first of all shame on youtube uh for throttling information on this very
00:38:48.720
important issue as i've said before going back some 15 years ago when the likes of facebook and youtube
00:38:55.840
and twitter first started it was come on come all it was going to be a big free speech uh reservoir where
00:39:04.160
everything goes and then once these silicon valley tech giants achieved a critical mass they got picky and
00:39:12.400
choosy which is another way of saying those with not that do not have a leftist bent well you are put in the
00:39:22.720
penalty box sometimes forever and also with the war that the dutch government is engaging on nitrogen the new n
00:39:33.200
word if you will right now it's the netherlands folks but how soon will it be before it comes to a nation
00:39:41.120
near you you know in canada i am positive the justin trudeau liberals are looking at a similar nitrogen
00:39:50.640
ban here in our great dominion they don't like to be out virtue signaled by any government in the world
00:39:59.120
and as always we pay the price and jimmy zow writes fair reporting sheila giving bureaucrats praise
00:40:07.360
when they deserve praise and criticism when they deserve criticism and of course that was bureaucrats
00:40:14.080
saying yes indeed males have a superior advantage to females when it comes to sports which is why
00:40:24.720
it has been to us never thus folks that with the exception of equestrian and auto racing males and
00:40:31.520
females compete in different divisions i just wonder if the bureaucrats responsible for that
00:40:38.880
report are going to be brought up on hate crime charges for not going along with the radical
00:40:45.280
transgenderism ideology that is so apparent these days well that wraps up tonight's edition of the
00:40:54.320
ezra levent show ezra will indeed be back on friday in the meantime as the big boss man likes to say
00:41:02.320
keep fighting for freedom for the international viewers who do not know what is going on here in
00:41:07.200
the netherlands we've been embedded with the tractor convoys and the farmers where they are protesting
00:41:13.920
against the dutch government for these insane environmental policies that are going to completely wreck
00:41:20.880
the agricultural sector of the netherlands and a reminder to the viewers that the netherlands is
00:41:26.880
actually a high exporter in food and supply chains now these policies will include trying to reduce
00:41:35.840
nitrogen emissions where the government want to purchase or forcefully take up to roughly 50 percent in
00:41:45.200
total of farmland within the netherlands naturally the farmers have taken it upon themselves to protest
00:41:58.560
against these policies now these policies also include the agenda 2030 playbook from none other than
00:42:07.840
the world economic forum over in davos with the bond villain himself klaus schwab which mark root
00:42:15.200
the prime minister of this country is heavily involved with
00:42:25.440
this is lewis brackpool for rebel news and today i'll be visiting a farm in burgum a farmer from the
00:42:32.560
local area came to have a chat with me about his concerns with the government overreach from mark root
00:42:41.920
and the world economic forum i have a dairy farm with a 60 cows and and of course the the younger cattle
00:42:59.120
so in an amount of 100 that would be basically we're just producing milk and meat mostly from from grass fed
00:43:07.920
of course so the the cattle will go outside uh mostly of the year and then of course winter day they'll uh
00:43:13.680
stay inside and it's uh well i'm the third generation now uh which is uh doing that and it's it's one of
00:43:21.680
the most fantastic jobs to do um being there being in nature working with your soil and and everything
00:43:29.760
uh the the whole uh circle it has to be rounded that's that's just one of the fantastic things to
00:43:37.200
be part of let's talk about the the current situation in the netherlands of course as we've
00:43:42.800
been seeing and it's now international that uh a lot of the farmers are very very unhappy with this
00:43:48.960
overreach from the dutch government uh with new laws that are coming in to do with nitrogen to do with
00:43:54.960
uh taking away percentage percentages of uh of the land uh the farmlands um can you give your take on
00:44:03.520
what you think is going on and um yeah let's let's start with that yeah so so let's start with i think
00:44:09.840
what's going on um i think i don't have any idea and that's the the whole point uh we need a government
00:44:17.040
to say like okay guys this is the the the the horizon we want to go over here and that's that's the lack
00:44:23.520
of of government we uh we have at this point and they're they're just uh igniting a bomb here and
00:44:30.160
there and you know if we're going to do something let's do something but let's do it all together
00:44:36.640
and now nobody knows uh you know what's going on so uh just just for an example where we're talking
00:44:43.760
about a reduction um how high will that reduction be and what are we reducing on point of what so what's
00:44:51.200
you what what is point zero and uh like yeah if we're reducing on uh 10 years ago well that that
00:44:59.360
would be a lot more uh yeah a lot more difficult yeah because there's um there's talk that it could
00:45:07.040
be uh farmers will have to give up 30 percent percent uh 20 percent 10 percent where and then fluctuates
00:45:14.240
for different farms and then you'll get an average around a 50 percent so let's say everybody goes down
00:45:18.960
at 50 percent yeah and that's uh yeah there was one politician who said there will be um a new model
00:45:28.640
a new finance model but we don't have that yet right so first you cut everything in half and then just
00:45:36.560
see who will who will manage yeah that's so it's a bit of uh uh hopeless and i think a lot of uh colleagues
00:45:44.960
are uh desperate because we want to have answers yeah and that's because i i don't mean we we really
00:45:52.160
really love doing this job it's it's not an economical thing it's it's being in the field which are animals
00:45:58.400
which are soil which are ever and man it's it's fantastic and and yeah we love doing that yeah um
00:46:06.960
how do i know it's a silly question but how does it make you feel that politicians in their offices in the
00:46:13.440
city uh are telling the rurals basically you're to give this up to combat nitrogen emissions and
00:46:20.800
and things like that how does that make you feel well the the sad thing about it it's well let let's
00:46:26.960
say we have to do something let's go with that um the sad thing is why the farmers and why not industry
00:46:35.600
why not everybody so that's yeah we're we're we're like the only uh only guys in the scene who uh
00:46:42.720
we're getting kicked yeah and that's that that's the feeling of uh i think a lot of uh yeah friends
00:46:48.720
of mine also and and it's it it makes everybody look um one gets sad the other gets um disappointed
00:46:55.600
everybody the other one gets angry everybody deals with it in its own way yeah so yeah let's see if uh
00:47:03.200
uh if we could yeah manage to to get a very concrete plan yeah very good plan and um go further
