Summary

Dr. David Suzuki is a fruit fly geneticist, and not a climate scientist by any means. But he still advocates for eco-terrorism towards Canadian people and industries. And in the wake of the devastating floods in British Columbia, it s not hard to see why.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Tonight, David Suzuki, eco-terrorism and how there is absolutely nothing new under the sun.
00:00:20.800 And then Drea Humphrey joins me to talk about the flooding in British Columbia and the climate
00:00:24.580 hysteria attached to that. It's November 23rd, 2021. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, but you are watching The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:34.260 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:38.060 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:42.120 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:00:47.980 You know, I think the COVID emergency might be over because the far left has gone back to their old reliable hysteria,
00:01:01.300 the climate emergency, and they're so emotional, so out of control that they're threatening violence.
00:01:07.020 But this isn't the first time and it definitely won't be the last.
00:01:11.340 In fact, violence at the hands of the peaceniks and the hippies, well, it's been around as long as there have been peaceniks and hippies.
00:01:19.600 The environmentalist movement, in fact, it's full of murderers.
00:01:23.680 From Ira Einhorn, the founder of Earth Day who composted his girlfriend,
00:01:29.060 to cult leader Charles Manson who had an acronym,
00:01:32.440 ATWA, Air, Trees, Water, Animals, All the Way Alive,
00:01:36.560 as core to his central personal philosophy to the maniacs at the Weather Underground and their bombings in the 1970s in the United States.
00:01:46.860 Just look at this from the FBI.
00:01:49.160 The Weather Underground stepped forward inspired by communist ideologies
00:01:52.400 and embracing violence and crime as a way to protest the Vietnam War, racism, and other left-wing aims.
00:02:01.440 I wonder what those could be.
00:02:02.560 Our intention is to disrupt the empire, to incapacitate it, to put pressure on the cracks,
00:02:10.120 claimed the group's 1974 manifesto, Prairie Fire.
00:02:14.760 By the next year, the group had claimed credit for 25 bombings,
00:02:20.900 including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, the California Attorney General's Office,
00:02:26.560 and a New York City police station.
00:02:30.040 But friends, this is how it has always been.
00:02:36.000 Radical environmentalists see humanity as some sort of plague beset upon the Earth to be destroyed
00:02:41.400 instead of the crowning creation of God to add to his Earth, to complete the Earth.
00:02:47.020 Man, then woman.
00:02:49.440 Here, though, is the abominable creation of the CBC, Dr. David Suzuki,
00:02:54.380 who is a fruit fly geneticist, and not a climate scientist by any means,
00:03:00.340 talking to reporters at an Extinction Rebellion protest on Vancouver Island.
00:03:05.820 Listen to this.
00:03:07.220 In deep, deep doo-doo.
00:03:08.640 And they've been telling us, the leading experts, for over 40 years, this is what we've come to.
00:03:15.460 The next stage after this is there are going to be pipelines blown up if our leaders don't pay attention to what's going on.
00:03:21.860 The next stage after this is there are going to be pipelines blown up.
00:03:26.380 Now, that's madness, threatening bombings.
00:03:30.100 But it's also not far-fetched, and I'll get to that in a second.
00:03:34.100 But first, here is Alberta Environment Minister Jason Nixon,
00:03:38.640 absolutely laying waste to Suzuki in the legislature on Monday afternoon.
00:03:42.680 Take a listen.
00:03:43.200 David Suzuki is so out of touch with the real world
00:03:48.320 that he advocates, Mr. Speaker, for eco-terrorism towards Canadian people and industries.
00:03:54.180 This is completely unacceptable and extremely reckless.
00:03:58.760 The NDP, Mr. Speaker, sadly have a long history of collaborating with David Suzuki,
00:04:03.580 and their silence on his outrageous comments
00:04:06.360 make them complicit with calls for eco-terrorism towards Albertans and Canadians.
00:04:12.040 And in case you think that a bombing as eco-terrorism is just so outrageous
00:04:16.420 that it could never, never possibly happen in real life,
00:04:21.000 at least here in Alberta where I am,
00:04:22.660 and that Suzuki was just using hyperbole,
00:04:25.220 well, let me refer you to the story of Weebo Ludwig.
00:04:27.540 The story itself is surrounded by controversy,
00:04:31.480 but Weebo Ludwig was a reformed religious leader.
00:04:35.200 Some might call him a cult leader in the peace country in Alberta
00:04:38.820 around the late 1980s and 1990s.
00:04:42.040 He was the patriarch of Trickle Creek Compound,
00:04:45.480 who accused the oil industry of poisoning his family,
00:04:48.700 poisoning his livestock,
00:04:50.540 causing stillbirths in his family and his livestock,
00:04:53.560 and ultimately he was convicted of several crimes.
00:04:56.820 Again, that came with a lot of controversy
00:04:58.920 around how those convictions came to be.
00:05:01.640 But Ludwig was held responsible for bombings and vandalisms
00:05:05.500 of oil field sites in and around Heith, Alberta,
00:05:09.120 and the rest of the peace country.
00:05:10.300 Now, whether or not you think Weebo Ludwig did it
00:05:13.200 or that he was framed,
00:05:14.180 the point remains that he was convicted,
00:05:16.920 and moreover, that the vandalism and bombings happened.
00:05:21.760 The eco-terrorism bombings happened here in Alberta.
00:05:25.940 So it's not some far-fetched conspiracy theory
00:05:28.740 that this violence that Suzuki's threatening,
00:05:31.640 that it might happen again.
00:05:33.020 It has happened, and for many of us,
00:05:34.980 like me, old enough to remember,
00:05:37.080 we were scared for our brothers and for our dads
00:05:40.320 when they went away to work,
00:05:42.040 and that fear lasted for a very long time.
00:05:45.760 Violence, along with death and incarceration,
00:05:48.960 for unbelievers, though,
00:05:50.700 these are mantras the radical left recycles
00:05:53.520 to suit whatever crisis they have right in front of them.
00:05:56.420 The crisis that they plan to capitalize on
00:05:59.460 to use to control your life,
00:06:01.760 how you live it,
00:06:02.980 how you manage your home,
00:06:04.960 who your friends are,
00:06:06.160 and how often you see them.
00:06:07.580 For example,
00:06:09.540 if you think that letting people die of COVID
00:06:13.000 without care or treatment,
00:06:14.700 if they decided to go un-vaxxed,
00:06:17.400 if they didn't, you know,
00:06:18.360 follow the radical left's
00:06:20.240 centralized government control plan
00:06:23.100 for your health,
00:06:24.500 if you think that's new,
00:06:26.260 it's not.
00:06:27.220 It's exactly what the environmental left
00:06:29.900 has wanted to do to you for decades
00:06:32.060 around climate change.
00:06:34.400 They say the Earth needs fewer people,
00:06:37.120 as though these people
00:06:38.520 even know how many other people
00:06:41.720 the Earth can support.
00:06:43.360 But they don't actually mean
00:06:45.020 fewer of the people who think just like them.
00:06:48.460 They mean fewer of us,
00:06:50.480 of me and you,
00:06:51.200 the unnecessary eaters and breeders
00:06:54.220 and consumers of the things
00:06:56.260 they think should be exclusively reserved
00:06:59.840 for their use.
00:07:01.520 So, for example,
00:07:02.300 if we need medical help,
00:07:04.000 maybe, unfortunately,
00:07:05.960 we already used up all of our carbon ration
00:07:08.720 and so there's no help allotted to us.
00:07:11.660 And that concept of locking up people
00:07:14.140 with wrong think,
00:07:15.720 wrong opinions on COVID,
00:07:17.540 you know,
00:07:18.000 the people who just won't get vaccinated
00:07:19.960 or won't quarantine
00:07:21.180 or stay away from their own family,
00:07:23.300 it's very familiar.
00:07:25.180 Here's David Suzuki himself
00:07:26.720 a couple of times
00:07:28.080 suggesting just that,
00:07:30.060 that unbelievers in his climate religion
00:07:32.180 should be jailed.
00:07:33.680 You see,
00:07:34.000 he wants a climate theocracy.
00:07:35.840 He just doesn't want to admit it.
00:07:37.920 Listen to this.
00:07:38.840 We met a big party of people
00:07:40.980 and the women were all dressed
00:07:42.040 in high heels and dresses
00:07:43.200 and the men in suits and ties
00:07:45.000 and I said,
00:07:45.780 this is not a camping party.
00:07:47.700 But, you know,
00:07:48.380 anybody on the trail you talk to
00:07:49.900 and so very quickly,
00:07:51.500 I realized,
00:07:53.000 holy smokes,
00:07:53.640 this is the CEO of Fletcher Challenge.
00:07:56.640 And very quickly,
00:07:58.060 he realized,
00:07:59.000 oh my God,
00:07:59.580 this is that troublemaker,
00:08:00.560 David Suzuki.
00:08:01.540 Thank you.
00:08:01.660 And so we got into,
00:08:04.360 let's say,
00:08:05.760 a heated discussion.
00:08:07.620 And finally,
00:08:08.480 he said in frustration,
00:08:09.980 listen, Suzuki,
00:08:11.580 are tree huggers like you
00:08:12.880 willing to pay
00:08:13.620 to protect those trees?
00:08:15.000 Because if you're not willing
00:08:16.200 to pay for them,
00:08:17.340 they don't have any value
00:08:18.320 if someone cuts them down.
00:08:20.560 And that was a big insight for me
00:08:23.780 because I realized,
00:08:24.940 holy cow,
00:08:26.060 you know,
00:08:26.740 he's absolutely right.
00:08:28.420 In his world,
00:08:31.420 he could tell me
00:08:32.560 how many jobs will come,
00:08:34.020 how many board feet of lumber,
00:08:35.500 how many cubic meters of pulp,
00:08:38.220 how much profit can be made
00:08:40.320 out of there.
00:08:41.060 And what do I do?
00:08:42.040 If I'm arguing in his frame
00:08:43.540 and say,
00:08:44.120 well, gee,
00:08:44.720 every year we can pick
00:08:45.640 a few berries
00:08:46.360 and there are some
00:08:47.860 salel bushes
00:08:48.640 that we could use
00:08:49.440 for flower arrangement
00:08:50.360 and maybe we could find
00:08:53.460 a cure for cancer.
00:08:54.380 Like,
00:08:55.020 we have no chance
00:08:57.220 against that argument
00:08:58.260 if we stay within
00:08:59.480 an economic frame.
00:09:01.380 I believe what's going on now
00:09:03.400 is criminal,
00:09:04.860 our activity,
00:09:06.140 because it's a crime
00:09:07.260 against future generations.
00:09:09.140 And there ought to be
00:09:10.340 a legal position
00:09:12.140 of intergenerational crime.
00:09:14.460 And I think
00:09:15.640 there's criminal negligence.
00:09:16.620 And what is the environmental war
00:09:19.480 on reliable and comfortable
00:09:21.140 CO2-emitting cars and trucks,
00:09:23.540 if not a war,
00:09:25.180 on where you can go
00:09:26.640 and just how far you can get
00:09:29.080 from your own house?
00:09:30.400 You know,
00:09:30.840 that sounds familiar.
00:09:32.520 Almost like a law
00:09:33.540 that prevents you
00:09:34.240 from visiting one province
00:09:35.680 or going too far
00:09:37.380 for non-essential travel
00:09:38.760 to combat COVID.
00:09:40.300 Sounds familiar,
00:09:41.180 doesn't it?
00:09:41.640 Same thing,
00:09:42.420 different packaging.
00:09:43.440 There's nothing new
00:09:44.280 under the sun.
00:09:45.480 The radical left
00:09:46.520 wants to control you.
00:09:48.160 Some might even
00:09:49.400 want you dead.
00:09:50.600 But as Michael Malice says,
00:09:52.500 they will settle
00:09:54.120 for your compliance.
00:09:56.260 And they never let
00:09:57.520 a good crisis
00:09:58.700 go to waste.
00:10:00.260 Joining us tonight
00:10:01.200 is Drea Humphrey
00:10:02.360 to bring us a report
00:10:03.620 on the flooding situation
00:10:05.400 in her home province
00:10:06.480 of British Columbia
00:10:07.500 and more
00:10:08.560 up next
00:10:09.520 after the break.
00:10:10.440 It didn't take very long
00:10:24.020 for the climate activists
00:10:26.120 to pin the floods
00:10:28.500 in British Columbia
00:10:29.640 on their nemesis,
00:10:32.040 climate change,
00:10:32.840 and blame you
00:10:34.240 at home
00:10:34.940 for traveling around
00:10:36.640 in your comfortable,
00:10:37.620 reliable SUV
00:10:38.520 for the damage
00:10:40.240 to BC's communities.
00:10:42.540 Joining me now
00:10:43.120 to discuss all of this
00:10:44.380 and her work
00:10:45.200 to debunk
00:10:46.120 the thesis
00:10:47.160 of the environmentalists
00:10:48.500 is Drea Humphrey,
00:10:50.060 our BC-based reporter.
00:10:51.360 Drea,
00:10:51.660 thank you so much
00:10:52.420 for joining me.
00:10:53.800 I know that you
00:10:55.160 immediately
00:10:56.240 went searching
00:10:57.180 for answers
00:10:57.860 to tell the other side
00:10:58.820 of the story
00:10:59.320 when it started coming out
00:11:00.740 that this is just
00:11:01.860 what BC caused
00:11:04.280 for itself
00:11:05.260 by using fossil fuels.
00:11:07.260 It really is a religion.
00:11:10.120 You know,
00:11:10.380 it's just,
00:11:11.040 you know,
00:11:11.480 a smiteful God
00:11:13.060 is now
00:11:13.620 the smiteful Mother Earth.
00:11:15.440 But you went
00:11:16.260 to somebody
00:11:17.140 that you and I
00:11:18.000 would consider
00:11:18.520 an expert
00:11:18.980 on this kind of stuff.
00:11:20.000 You reached out
00:11:20.540 to Michelle Sterling
00:11:21.440 from Friends of Science
00:11:23.060 and tell us a little bit
00:11:24.700 about what you found
00:11:25.660 out from Michelle.
00:11:26.940 Well,
00:11:27.460 Michelle never disappoints.
00:11:29.200 She always knows
00:11:29.940 her stuff
00:11:30.540 and most importantly,
00:11:32.000 I think in this situation
00:11:32.980 is the history
00:11:34.080 of the areas
00:11:35.120 that were hit
00:11:35.880 the hardest.
00:11:37.200 If you watch
00:11:37.800 the full report,
00:11:38.660 Michelle talks about it.
00:11:39.800 I actually didn't know
00:11:40.800 at the time
00:11:41.600 when I had interviewed
00:11:43.380 Michelle that Abbotsford
00:11:44.820 used to be a lake.
00:11:46.880 So naturally,
00:11:47.780 it's a very wet area.
00:11:50.380 It was Sumas Lake.
00:11:51.800 And so I did know
00:11:53.080 from some research
00:11:54.040 that this is the third time
00:11:55.700 that that area
00:11:56.500 has been hit
00:11:57.080 very hard by flooding.
00:11:58.940 You can see
00:11:59.400 in the 90s,
00:12:00.440 almost a exact
00:12:02.720 looking picture
00:12:04.280 of an area
00:12:05.560 on Whatcom Road
00:12:06.640 there,
00:12:07.100 just almost completely
00:12:08.500 submersed with the things
00:12:09.600 around there.
00:12:10.620 But of course,
00:12:11.960 now these sorts
00:12:13.620 of incidents
00:12:14.580 are the prime
00:12:16.400 excuse for climate
00:12:18.200 zealots
00:12:18.760 to go ahead
00:12:19.460 and just jump
00:12:20.260 with that narrative.
00:12:21.700 Yeah,
00:12:21.840 and I think
00:12:22.200 that's really
00:12:22.580 the saddest part
00:12:23.340 in all of this
00:12:24.020 is that people's
00:12:25.000 lives are being ruined,
00:12:26.680 their homes
00:12:27.580 are destroyed,
00:12:28.500 they're losing
00:12:29.000 their livestock,
00:12:29.700 they're losing
00:12:30.700 their buildings,
00:12:32.400 they're forced
00:12:32.840 to sometimes
00:12:33.900 evacuate with just
00:12:34.780 the clothes
00:12:35.120 on their back
00:12:35.720 to these evacuation
00:12:36.540 shelters.
00:12:37.900 And then activists
00:12:39.340 are taking
00:12:40.600 somebody else's misery
00:12:42.160 and somebody else's
00:12:43.100 suffering and boxing
00:12:44.860 it up and using it
00:12:45.920 to push their own agenda.
00:12:48.020 Yeah,
00:12:48.460 I don't know,
00:12:49.420 like,
00:12:50.020 and no heart too
00:12:51.020 when you,
00:12:51.780 I think they gave
00:12:52.600 an example in the report
00:12:53.980 of someone basically
00:12:55.260 pointing the finger
00:12:56.340 at the people
00:12:56.940 of Abbotsford
00:12:57.520 based on them
00:12:58.260 voting conservatives.
00:12:59.700 So basically
00:13:00.500 you vote conservative
00:13:01.560 and here you go,
00:13:02.580 now you get
00:13:03.040 what you deserve.
00:13:03.920 It's like these people
00:13:04.840 aren't even back
00:13:05.540 in their homes yet
00:13:06.580 and you're gonna do that.
00:13:09.440 And then you see
00:13:10.240 there's also
00:13:11.200 the bit of deflection.
00:13:12.580 There's been
00:13:12.980 some critique
00:13:13.900 about how long
00:13:14.740 it took
00:13:15.260 for the province
00:13:16.340 to announce
00:13:17.020 a state of emergency.
00:13:18.680 Why didn't we get
00:13:19.620 that text?
00:13:20.620 You know,
00:13:20.820 they've been practicing
00:13:21.660 those texts.
00:13:22.380 Hey,
00:13:22.540 there's a warning,
00:13:23.800 you know,
00:13:24.040 watch out,
00:13:24.400 we didn't get
00:13:24.800 anything like that.
00:13:26.540 So there's critique
00:13:27.880 about,
00:13:28.500 you know,
00:13:28.720 how things were
00:13:29.440 handled and how
00:13:30.140 they could have
00:13:30.500 been handled better.
00:13:31.500 When you overshadow it
00:13:33.280 with the climate
00:13:34.540 change agenda,
00:13:35.380 you lose the focus
00:13:37.280 on how can we improve
00:13:38.440 and keep ourselves
00:13:39.140 safer next time around.
00:13:41.000 You know,
00:13:41.160 that's a really great point
00:13:42.020 because a lot of that
00:13:42.860 happens here in Alberta
00:13:43.820 when we have forest fires,
00:13:45.660 which happens constantly
00:13:46.720 and we have
00:13:47.420 remote forest communities
00:13:48.940 like Slave Lake,
00:13:50.320 like Fort McMurray
00:13:51.220 that have been subject
00:13:52.220 to forest fires.
00:13:53.160 forest fires and,
00:13:54.380 you know,
00:13:55.420 we saw it play out
00:13:56.300 in California
00:13:58.800 where they were also
00:14:00.460 plagued with forest fires,
00:14:01.860 but a lot of it
00:14:02.840 had to do with
00:14:03.680 environmentalist policies
00:14:05.380 applied to the forest.
00:14:06.940 So,
00:14:08.060 not properly managing
00:14:09.340 the forest,
00:14:10.100 clearing away the deadfall,
00:14:11.360 something the environmentalists
00:14:12.460 don't want you to do
00:14:13.200 because they don't want
00:14:13.860 the forest disturbed,
00:14:14.720 but it actually protects
00:14:16.140 forested communities
00:14:17.220 by properly managing
00:14:19.040 the forest.
00:14:20.460 And you had a video
00:14:21.940 of Ellis Ross,
00:14:23.740 he's a MLA
00:14:24.800 in BC,
00:14:27.220 Indigenous leader.
00:14:29.120 I'm sorry.
00:14:29.640 Yeah, no,
00:14:30.040 I was going to say
00:14:30.540 he's an Indigenous leader
00:14:31.640 and he pointed out
00:14:32.820 that some of the flooding
00:14:34.160 has to do with
00:14:34.840 not properly managing
00:14:36.440 the rivers either.
00:14:38.120 Right,
00:14:38.540 that was on Vancouver Island
00:14:39.840 and in case people
00:14:41.160 didn't know,
00:14:41.780 Ellis Ross is also running
00:14:43.280 right now
00:14:44.360 for the BC leadership
00:14:46.760 role.
00:14:48.060 So,
00:14:48.620 I think there's a couple
00:14:49.340 of weeks left.
00:14:50.260 Debates have been going
00:14:51.000 on with that.
00:14:51.560 But yeah,
00:14:51.920 he pointed out that
00:14:53.300 it hadn't been dredged
00:14:54.660 there for a while
00:14:55.320 and that's why
00:14:56.280 that particular area
00:14:57.920 had been hit so hard.
00:14:59.880 So,
00:15:00.480 yeah,
00:15:01.200 major concerns there.
00:15:02.500 I'm also having
00:15:03.400 another report coming up.
00:15:05.440 So,
00:15:06.080 I'm going out today
00:15:07.080 to the Langley area
00:15:08.420 to talk to some
00:15:09.340 of the concerns
00:15:09.900 about the livestock.
00:15:11.140 Was everything done
00:15:12.220 that could have been done
00:15:13.180 to save some animals?
00:15:15.240 One of the things
00:15:15.740 I noticed very early
00:15:16.840 on in the mainstream media
00:15:18.020 was of course
00:15:18.660 they would talk about
00:15:19.560 the animals that were
00:15:20.720 left behind
00:15:21.340 and then they would
00:15:22.120 follow it up with
00:15:23.220 and there's going to be
00:15:23.860 plenty more euthanized.
00:15:25.040 There's going to be
00:15:25.400 plenty more euthanized
00:15:26.420 and I kept hearing
00:15:27.280 that phrase
00:15:27.840 and it was like,
00:15:28.400 well,
00:15:28.500 is there not a plan?
00:15:30.920 And so,
00:15:31.500 stay tuned for that report
00:15:32.820 but,
00:15:33.540 you know,
00:15:33.980 we cannot just have
00:15:35.280 tunnel vision
00:15:36.080 with these types of things
00:15:37.640 and just say,
00:15:38.260 hey,
00:15:38.340 it's climate change,
00:15:39.040 we need new policies.
00:15:40.900 That's what Jagmeet Singh
00:15:42.260 is doing.
00:15:42.740 I believe they are
00:15:43.460 calling a sort of
00:15:45.300 an emergency debate.
00:15:47.880 Yeah,
00:15:48.360 I think they announced
00:15:49.040 that today
00:15:49.560 that they're going
00:15:50.040 to call an emergency debate
00:15:51.280 to discuss how we need
00:15:52.380 to further along
00:15:53.240 the climate change initiatives.
00:15:56.520 And so,
00:15:57.120 again,
00:15:57.340 that tunnel vision
00:15:58.140 really leaves us vulnerable.
00:16:00.860 Well,
00:16:00.900 especially when people
00:16:01.720 need real tangible help
00:16:03.320 today
00:16:04.060 to deal with flooding.
00:16:06.220 They're looking at
00:16:07.100 these big macro issues
00:16:08.780 that I really don't think
00:16:10.540 as Canadians
00:16:11.020 we can affect
00:16:12.280 in any meaningful way anyway.
00:16:14.180 I mean,
00:16:14.520 BC,
00:16:15.020 you guys have had
00:16:15.760 a carbon tax
00:16:16.980 for a decade
00:16:18.420 and they tell me
00:16:21.300 that if we have
00:16:22.020 a carbon tax,
00:16:22.740 we're not going to have
00:16:23.360 extreme weather events
00:16:24.300 but here we are
00:16:25.520 and as Michelle Sterling
00:16:26.560 rightly points out,
00:16:27.600 this is weather.
00:16:28.660 This is weather
00:16:29.220 and weather happens.
00:16:31.060 Yeah.
00:16:31.920 Yeah,
00:16:32.460 and I think you guys
00:16:33.360 in Alberta,
00:16:33.860 didn't you have
00:16:34.540 a lot of flooding
00:16:35.680 in around 2013
00:16:37.220 or something like that too,
00:16:38.840 right?
00:16:39.320 So,
00:16:39.960 yeah,
00:16:40.100 we did.
00:16:40.540 We did hit pretty hard.
00:16:41.880 We did.
00:16:42.220 Calgary was flooded
00:16:43.200 and we were led
00:16:45.120 to believe
00:16:45.480 that it was climate change
00:16:46.600 even though
00:16:47.160 one of the towns
00:16:48.060 that flooded
00:16:48.640 was named High River
00:16:49.960 indicating that
00:16:51.240 the river
00:16:51.720 is high
00:16:53.280 from time to time.
00:16:55.300 Yeah.
00:16:56.500 What are you hearing
00:16:57.660 from on the ground
00:16:58.880 because you are in BC
00:16:59.780 about the best ways
00:17:02.540 that people like me
00:17:03.800 out here in Alberta,
00:17:04.660 how can we help
00:17:05.680 if we feel
00:17:06.200 compelled to do that?
00:17:08.400 Well,
00:17:08.540 it was really heartwarming
00:17:10.020 how many people
00:17:10.820 came together
00:17:11.400 and very quickly.
00:17:12.400 I've heard of anything
00:17:13.520 from high schools,
00:17:14.600 even the pro-freedom protesters
00:17:16.360 were filling up trucks
00:17:17.840 with things
00:17:18.300 and getting things
00:17:19.520 to the people.
00:17:20.220 So,
00:17:20.440 there are lots
00:17:21.380 of different avenues
00:17:22.080 even if you go
00:17:22.960 on a Facebook group
00:17:23.940 and look up your area.
00:17:26.180 People,
00:17:27.020 just regular people
00:17:27.980 put together groups
00:17:28.820 where you can go
00:17:29.400 and put your needs
00:17:30.360 and then the people
00:17:31.460 in that community
00:17:32.180 will bring you those needs.
00:17:33.420 So,
00:17:33.540 that's really fun.
00:17:34.680 I am hearing
00:17:35.440 that the animals
00:17:36.340 need food
00:17:36.940 and so maybe
00:17:37.880 that's something
00:17:38.460 that's being missed.
00:17:39.480 We think of the people
00:17:40.480 and that's great
00:17:41.220 and there seems
00:17:42.480 to be abundance
00:17:43.040 of avenues for that
00:17:44.300 but also,
00:17:45.560 if you,
00:17:45.980 for some reason,
00:17:46.660 have the ability
00:17:47.300 to feed the animals,
00:17:48.340 that might be something
00:17:49.020 looking into.
00:17:50.480 Some of the places
00:17:51.340 like Merritt,
00:17:52.080 the people are starting
00:17:52.940 to have a plan
00:17:54.020 to come back,
00:17:55.680 which is good
00:17:56.220 and I believe
00:17:56.640 the government
00:17:57.060 has put together
00:17:58.360 a disaster
00:18:00.700 financial aid system
00:18:03.160 and that's set up
00:18:04.100 as well
00:18:04.420 so you can go there
00:18:05.180 and apply
00:18:05.760 and I guess
00:18:06.800 let them know
00:18:07.380 for now
00:18:07.820 what you know
00:18:08.280 your damages are
00:18:09.120 and things like that.
00:18:09.960 So,
00:18:10.340 there are different avenues.
00:18:11.680 Really cool
00:18:12.480 and I was kind of like,
00:18:14.680 is this for real?
00:18:15.500 But there was
00:18:16.040 some local pilots
00:18:17.140 that came together
00:18:18.160 and were taking people
00:18:20.020 to and from Hope
00:18:21.400 to Chilliwack
00:18:22.460 back and forth
00:18:23.620 and just dedicating
00:18:24.420 their time to do that
00:18:25.420 so that's,
00:18:26.320 you know,
00:18:26.540 it's really good
00:18:28.120 to see how people
00:18:28.900 come together
00:18:29.520 and how resilient
00:18:30.580 farmers are
00:18:32.100 in these situations.
00:18:34.560 You know,
00:18:34.840 they just,
00:18:35.980 you know,
00:18:36.900 when the going gets tough,
00:18:37.920 they just get tougher.
00:18:39.080 So,
00:18:39.920 well,
00:18:40.380 please be sure
00:18:41.100 to ask today
00:18:42.380 when you're investigating
00:18:43.260 how best
00:18:44.200 we can support
00:18:45.740 the farmers
00:18:46.240 and the animals
00:18:46.880 if there's
00:18:47.760 any needs
00:18:49.400 that the farmers
00:18:50.940 need there
00:18:51.400 because,
00:18:52.060 you know,
00:18:52.380 we've got a prairie
00:18:53.620 full of farmers
00:18:54.420 that are willing
00:18:55.360 to help.
00:18:55.820 Drea,
00:18:55.900 thanks so much
00:18:56.980 for your
00:18:58.800 careful coverage
00:19:00.260 of this story.
00:19:01.280 You looked at it
00:19:01.880 from all aspects
00:19:03.040 including the human cost
00:19:04.520 when you went
00:19:05.020 to the evacuation center
00:19:07.100 and,
00:19:08.360 you know,
00:19:08.800 I'm sure you'll stay
00:19:09.460 with it
00:19:09.940 till the very end.
00:19:11.920 Thanks so much
00:19:12.600 for having me.
00:19:13.260 Bye, everyone.
00:19:14.720 Well,
00:19:15.040 there you have it.
00:19:15.520 That's Drea Humphrey,
00:19:16.300 our BC-based reporter
00:19:17.600 bringing you
00:19:18.120 the other side
00:19:18.920 of this story
00:19:19.760 of the floods
00:19:20.700 in British Columbia
00:19:21.620 and how we can help
00:19:23.600 in ways
00:19:24.320 that don't require
00:19:25.180 the government
00:19:25.860 getting in the middle
00:19:26.560 of it.
00:19:27.260 Stay with us more
00:19:28.180 up next
00:19:28.740 after the break.
00:19:40.220 Letters,
00:19:40.760 letters,
00:19:41.080 letters.
00:19:41.440 You know what?
00:19:41.800 We get your letters
00:19:42.500 all day long
00:19:43.480 in the form of notes,
00:19:44.460 emails,
00:19:45.060 messages,
00:19:45.820 comments,
00:19:46.460 Twitter messages
00:19:47.360 messages and really
00:19:48.360 I appreciate them
00:19:49.340 all because more
00:19:49.920 often than not
00:19:50.780 your notes to us
00:19:52.100 are quite thoughtful
00:19:53.040 and even the ones
00:19:54.340 that aren't like
00:19:54.980 those from our
00:19:56.300 belligerent haters,
00:19:57.620 well,
00:19:58.740 I like knowing
00:19:59.320 I robbed them
00:19:59.960 of a few minutes
00:20:00.700 of their day
00:20:01.240 that they could
00:20:01.800 have been doing
00:20:02.500 something else
00:20:03.920 and maybe they
00:20:04.540 would have been
00:20:04.940 tormenting someone
00:20:06.040 else.
00:20:06.520 So,
00:20:07.400 instead,
00:20:08.020 they take the time
00:20:08.680 to write to me
00:20:09.460 and I spare
00:20:10.280 the other people
00:20:11.000 the abuse
00:20:12.200 from these folks.
00:20:13.440 Anyway,
00:20:13.800 not to dwell on
00:20:14.800 those kind of people,
00:20:15.920 let's look at
00:20:17.020 one of the comments
00:20:17.760 someone left
00:20:18.460 on one of our
00:20:19.300 most recent reports
00:20:20.500 over on the
00:20:21.440 censorship platform
00:20:22.400 of YouTube
00:20:22.980 and this is why
00:20:24.200 we won't abandon
00:20:24.960 YouTube
00:20:25.320 because there are
00:20:26.060 some smart people
00:20:26.860 commenting over there.
00:20:28.220 On Adam's
00:20:28.820 exclusive interview
00:20:29.820 with Alberta
00:20:30.400 Environment Minister
00:20:31.180 Jason Nixon
00:20:32.220 about Suzuki's
00:20:33.900 outrageous comments,
00:20:35.340 Tim Kulakan writes,
00:20:37.600 I used to revere
00:20:38.620 Suzuki for his work
00:20:39.840 30 years ago.
00:20:41.640 The Nature of Things
00:20:42.680 was a program
00:20:43.640 I watched
00:20:44.460 religiously
00:20:45.620 He was informative
00:20:46.900 and sincere
00:20:48.320 or so I thought.
00:20:50.340 When he became
00:20:51.200 more of an activist
00:20:52.160 is when I stopped
00:20:53.160 following him.
00:20:54.880 It could be the case
00:20:56.080 that what he said
00:20:57.400 was conveyed poorly
00:20:59.160 just like
00:21:00.960 Don Cherry's
00:21:02.000 slip of the tongue
00:21:02.960 using the words
00:21:04.160 those people.
00:21:06.120 Maybe Suzuki
00:21:07.060 meant to say
00:21:07.820 that climate activists
00:21:08.880 are frustrated enough
00:21:10.460 that they may
00:21:11.920 take aggressive
00:21:12.960 actions
00:21:13.680 like blowing up
00:21:15.060 pipelines.
00:21:16.840 While Cherry's
00:21:17.600 words were
00:21:18.620 clearly fumbled
00:21:19.740 Suzuki had no
00:21:21.660 problem uttering
00:21:22.800 what he said.
00:21:24.300 Suzuki's words
00:21:25.280 are far more
00:21:26.520 volatile and direct
00:21:28.080 than what
00:21:29.100 some had perceived
00:21:30.720 Cherry's words
00:21:31.920 to mean.
00:21:33.720 But what of the
00:21:35.020 outcome of their
00:21:36.200 utterances?
00:21:36.940 This is such a
00:21:37.700 great point.
00:21:39.220 Don Cherry was
00:21:39.980 chastised
00:21:40.760 almost immediately
00:21:42.020 for what he said.
00:21:44.120 He was forced
00:21:44.700 out of a long
00:21:45.380 and lucrative
00:21:46.040 career as
00:21:46.740 Canada's
00:21:47.300 hockey celebrity
00:21:48.380 coach.
00:21:49.800 The woke mob
00:21:50.720 swarmed him
00:21:51.800 cancelling his
00:21:52.960 presence in the
00:21:53.660 spotlight
00:21:54.060 all for
00:21:55.340 fumbling
00:21:55.900 what he said.
00:21:57.600 As far as
00:21:58.200 Suzuki is
00:21:58.800 concerned
00:21:59.220 well we will
00:22:00.680 have to see
00:22:01.240 what comes of
00:22:01.980 the woke
00:22:02.400 environmentalist
00:22:03.440 prince.
00:22:04.900 What he said
00:22:06.280 did not seem
00:22:07.280 to be fumbled
00:22:07.960 or awkward
00:22:08.980 for him to
00:22:09.720 say.
00:22:10.640 If that is
00:22:11.180 the case
00:22:11.700 he should be
00:22:12.980 cancelled
00:22:13.420 as expeditiously
00:22:15.160 as Cherry
00:22:16.040 was
00:22:16.540 if not
00:22:17.680 tried for
00:22:18.280 inciting
00:22:18.700 terrorism.
00:22:19.420 Now I don't
00:22:19.840 know if they're
00:22:20.180 going to try
00:22:20.600 him for
00:22:20.880 inciting
00:22:21.220 terrorism
00:22:21.660 and I don't
00:22:22.220 even know
00:22:22.540 if they're
00:22:22.760 going to
00:22:22.960 cancel him.
00:22:24.020 But what I
00:22:24.620 do know
00:22:24.960 is that
00:22:25.220 nothing Suzuki
00:22:25.900 is saying
00:22:26.340 is remotely
00:22:26.820 out of line
00:22:27.420 with his
00:22:27.780 general comments
00:22:28.620 for about
00:22:29.280 the last
00:22:30.360 half a
00:22:31.180 century.
00:22:32.360 He's even
00:22:32.860 called humans
00:22:33.480 maggots in the
00:22:34.720 past.
00:22:35.160 Just take a
00:22:35.640 listen to this.
00:22:37.280 One thing
00:22:37.860 that I've
00:22:38.360 gotten off
00:22:38.860 on lately
00:22:40.260 is that
00:22:40.780 basically
00:22:41.280 you know
00:22:41.620 I study
00:22:42.020 fruit flies
00:22:42.660 and I
00:22:43.820 suddenly realized
00:22:44.760 that basically
00:22:45.460 we're all
00:22:45.960 fruit flies.
00:22:47.260 Like you
00:22:48.040 hatch out
00:22:48.460 as a maggot
00:22:49.100 and a maggot
00:22:50.640 can now
00:22:51.380 crawl around
00:22:52.120 it's got
00:22:52.540 two dimensions
00:22:53.340 and it can
00:22:54.540 ingest food
00:22:55.600 at its will
00:22:56.380 and it
00:22:57.300 defecates
00:22:57.860 all over
00:22:58.260 the environment
00:22:58.900 and some
00:22:59.960 other smaller
00:23:00.680 maggots
00:23:01.100 can even
00:23:01.520 eat your
00:23:01.980 defecation
00:23:02.600 and get
00:23:02.940 some nourishment
00:23:03.660 out of it
00:23:04.240 and the bigger
00:23:05.120 you get
00:23:05.560 the more
00:23:05.920 people you
00:23:06.420 are more
00:23:07.000 maggots
00:23:07.400 you can
00:23:07.700 crush
00:23:08.020 with your
00:23:08.360 weight.
00:23:11.260 Most people
00:23:12.400 in the world
00:23:12.900 are content
00:23:13.380 to stay
00:23:13.880 as first
00:23:14.320 or second
00:23:14.700 level
00:23:15.020 maggots
00:23:15.500 and they
00:23:16.440 establish
00:23:16.780 their own
00:23:17.240 little area
00:23:17.880 and they
00:23:18.360 crawl around
00:23:19.100 there and
00:23:19.460 that's fine
00:23:19.980 and the
00:23:21.480 guys that
00:23:22.160 become
00:23:22.640 tenth level
00:23:23.340 maggots
00:23:23.800 are really
00:23:24.220 big wheels.
00:23:25.840 Anyway
00:23:26.400 the point is
00:23:27.960 David Suzuki
00:23:28.500 has always
00:23:29.140 been like this.
00:23:29.880 He's always
00:23:30.300 spoken like
00:23:31.120 this publicly.
00:23:32.480 He's always
00:23:33.220 looked at
00:23:33.680 humanity like
00:23:34.700 this.
00:23:35.280 It's
00:23:35.500 revolting.
00:23:36.860 But before
00:23:37.760 the mainstream
00:23:38.420 media had
00:23:38.960 complete and
00:23:39.560 total control
00:23:40.120 of the
00:23:40.400 narrative
00:23:40.680 they protected
00:23:41.760 him.
00:23:42.640 Not so much
00:23:43.480 anymore.
00:23:44.240 Now before I
00:23:44.800 go since I'm
00:23:46.020 filling in for
00:23:46.660 Ezra and I'm
00:23:47.740 in charge of
00:23:48.260 the show
00:23:48.600 I would be
00:23:49.540 absolutely
00:23:50.140 remiss not to
00:23:50.940 plug my own
00:23:51.440 book that I
00:23:52.060 wrote in
00:23:52.620 2018 about
00:23:54.060 David Suzuki.
00:23:55.860 It's called
00:23:56.400 The Case
00:23:57.000 Against David
00:23:57.600 Suzuki
00:23:58.020 An Unauthorized
00:23:59.400 Biography and it
00:24:00.300 details all the
00:24:01.220 misdeeds
00:24:01.960 all of them
00:24:03.000 of CBC's
00:24:04.320 favorite
00:24:05.060 fruit fly
00:24:06.200 geneticist.
00:24:07.240 The book
00:24:07.720 catalogs all
00:24:08.660 the things you
00:24:09.660 definitely would
00:24:10.560 have heard about
00:24:11.260 if Suzuki
00:24:12.500 were a
00:24:13.120 conservative.
00:24:13.800 I wrote the
00:24:14.220 book back in
00:24:14.760 2018 because
00:24:15.820 at the time
00:24:17.020 the University
00:24:17.720 of Alberta
00:24:18.460 was set to
00:24:19.240 give David
00:24:19.720 Suzuki an
00:24:20.340 honorary degree
00:24:21.280 all while the
00:24:22.600 oil patch that
00:24:23.400 has been so
00:24:24.040 generous to the
00:24:24.900 University of
00:24:25.500 Alberta was
00:24:26.360 basically on
00:24:27.760 its knees
00:24:28.740 because of the
00:24:29.840 bad policies that
00:24:31.320 Suzuki advocates
00:24:32.220 so I rushed the
00:24:33.560 book out to
00:24:34.640 ruin his big
00:24:35.360 day and I
00:24:36.500 did and it
00:24:37.200 became a
00:24:37.900 national best
00:24:38.500 seller.
00:24:38.920 So thanks again
00:24:39.560 to everybody who
00:24:40.260 bought the book
00:24:40.760 the first time
00:24:41.360 around.
00:24:41.880 If you'd like
00:24:42.420 your copy it's
00:24:43.120 really easy just
00:24:43.860 head on over to
00:24:44.620 suzukibook.com
00:24:45.760 and nab one as
00:24:47.480 an early Christmas
00:24:48.240 present to
00:24:49.040 yourself.
00:24:50.000 Well everybody
00:24:50.740 that's the show
00:24:51.540 for tonight.
00:24:52.780 Thank you so
00:24:54.040 much for tuning
00:24:55.080 in.
00:24:55.880 Thank you to
00:24:56.860 our team in
00:24:57.900 Toronto HQ for
00:24:59.240 turning this
00:25:00.200 mismatch of
00:25:02.140 video clips that
00:25:02.880 I sent in into
00:25:03.940 a workable show
00:25:04.920 for our
00:25:05.660 subscribers.
00:25:06.660 Thanks to the
00:25:07.420 boss for trusting
00:25:08.120 me in the big
00:25:08.800 chair.
00:25:09.660 I think Ezra is
00:25:10.320 back hosting the
00:25:11.700 show tomorrow
00:25:12.360 and as the big
00:25:14.100 cheese loves to
00:25:15.060 say keep fighting
00:25:16.420 for freedom.
00:25:17.000 them.
