I pick over the bones of the Ontario election, and wonder why there wasn't a lot of difference between the three main parties on the key issues, and why no one would have voted for either of them except for Doug Ford.
00:03:54.160So today I'm here to announce that if elected, Ontario liberals will make the COVID-19 vaccine for kids part of the universal roster of vaccines that are required for kids to attend publicly funded schools right across the province of Ontario.
00:04:11.500And the NDP leader, Andrea Horwath, was just atrocious, really egging on more and harder lockdowns.
00:04:23.920Would have been the same as the other two, plus economic disaster socialist style.
00:04:29.200Hey, I can't help but show you this image of the NDP leader's son.
00:04:34.260Now, I'm not blaming the mum for the son, although really, who would have a greater design on what a child is besides their parent, besides a brutal misogynist.
00:04:45.560There he is with a, what appears to be a loaded assault rifle.
00:04:50.340Now, I'm not against people, law-abiding people, owning firearms, but I wonder why the media didn't press the NDP princess on her son's fondness for firearms, giving the total unanimity on the media and the left about banning guns.
00:05:08.280Doug Ford, who presided over one of the most brutal lockdowns in North America, said during the election that he can't think of any mistakes he made, and he has no regrets.
00:05:22.060Well, you're asking me to point to one thing. I can't. You know, I'll tell you one thing.
00:05:26.700I was the first to stand up there, and if I made a mistake, I think I'm the only elected official, politician, whatever you want to call us, that would go up there and say, you know, I made a mistake.
00:05:35.760I apologize. This is what we're doing to correct it, and I corrected it immediately within 24 hours, and I'm going to continue doing that.
00:05:43.540I'm not perfect by any means. I'll tell you that.
00:05:46.800It wasn't a gaffe he reiterated at during the leaders' debate.
00:05:51.560He presided over a province where parks were closed. Parks.
00:05:56.540Probably the least transmissible place for the virus, the place where you could get exercise.
00:06:01.200He proposed random police stop and frisk on the street for anyone caught outside.
00:06:08.980He approved of the use of riot police, not just against a restaurateur in Toronto that was driven by the city,
00:06:17.040but of course deploying provincial police to crack down on the peaceful trucker protest.
00:06:23.640It was Doug Ford who brought in the Emergencies Act before Justin Trudeau did.
00:06:28.860It was Doug Ford who went to court to seize the funds in the GoFundMe crowdfund.
00:06:35.620It was Doug Ford who presided over the mass shutting down of schools and the forced masking of children.
00:06:41.900Doug Ford who presided over vaccine mandates and segregation.
00:06:45.660Doug Ford who clearly took orders from any health care extremist, giving them the reins of government rather than himself.
00:06:54.940Horwath won her own seat, but she quit.
00:12:32.560It's a sign that you don't need the Communist Party in Ontario because all the extreme authoritarian ideas that the Communist Party would have proposed,
00:12:41.860they've already been absorbed and promulgated by Doug Ford and the Conservatives and egged on by the Liberals and the NDP.
00:12:48.960Who needs a Communist Party when every one of their ideas, from treating people as prisoners to censoring and silencing dissenting doctors?
00:12:58.720Who needs a Communist Party when your Conservative Party does those things?
00:13:03.660I like the election of the one independent.
00:13:06.360And I thought it was interesting what happened in the city of Brampton.
00:13:09.680In Brampton East, the MPP there, his name is Guritan Singh.
00:13:40.520And there seems to be a Sikh anger with the Singh family, Jagmeet and Guritan.
00:13:47.260There's fascinating videos all over social media of members of the Sikh community sort of chasing Jagmeet Singh around at public events,
00:13:59.980going to his events, finding him on the street and hollering at him, driving by and hollering at him,
00:14:05.640calling him a sellout, saying that he's selling out to the tyrant.
00:14:11.800And I thought, well, maybe this is some internecine quarrel within that ethnic community that I just don't understand.
00:14:17.580But we had our reporter, Lincoln Jay, talk to these guys, and I've tried my best to figure it out.
00:14:23.500No, I think it's what it looks like on the face of it.
00:14:25.620I think these Sikh activists truly think that Jagmeet Singh has sold out, including selling out to Justin Trudeau federally.
00:14:36.900I don't know why they would be mad at Guritan Singh provincially, unless it's just the two brothers or peas in the pod.
00:14:42.740Remember that during the trucker convoy, many Canadians discovered something that maybe they had only a vague sense of before,
00:14:50.800that an enormous number of truckers in Canada, for whatever reason, happened to be Sikh.
00:14:57.360And there were quite a few trucker protesters at the Ottawa convoy who I think had a political awakening.
00:15:04.640I follow one fellow on Twitter, I think his name is Parminder Singh, and he's a Sikh trucker who came alive and he's become this amateur pundit every day with new short videos.
00:15:16.780I think a lot of Sikhs had their politics flipped on by the authoritarian crushing of civil rights by Trudeau.
00:15:24.980And I think they just actually appalled that Jagmeet Singh, who holds himself out as such a pure idealist, would give support to Trudeau.
00:15:33.580I think we should take these Sikh critics at face value.
00:15:37.600And I think it bodes very ill for Jagmeet Singh.
00:15:40.340Maybe he'll lose his seat in the next election, too.
00:15:42.940Maybe that's why he's joined up with Trudeau.
00:15:45.480He wants to delay and defer the next election as long as possible.
00:15:52.300Why did Doug Ford win when Aaron O'Toole was thrown out, when Jason Kenney was thrown out?
00:15:57.740Well, first of all, Aaron O'Toole and Jason Kenney were not defeated in a general election, but rather by their party.
00:16:04.300Their conservative parties had no more time for them.
00:16:07.760I think federally, the truckers were the proximate cause of Aaron O'Toole's departure.
00:16:13.220In Alberta, there were a lot of things, including the fact that Alberta has a tradition of having new parties to throw out the old and those new parties typically being of the right.
00:16:22.700And in Alberta, independent media, including Rebel News, is very strong.
00:16:28.460True North is there, but also the Western Standard.
00:16:32.360That's the name of the magazine I used to run 15 years ago.
00:16:34.920It's been revived in Alberta as a website.
00:16:39.940So you have a lot of independent, Western-oriented, freedom-oriented journalism in Alberta that I think really connected with people.
00:16:48.640And the fact that backbenchers in that party were not thrown out for criticizing the lockdowns.
00:16:55.960So I think there was a real democracy there, real choices.
00:16:59.420But here in Ontario, as soon as MPPs were kicked out of the party by Doug Ford, they were anathematized, not just in politics, but by the media.
00:17:10.980The media treated anyone kicked out by Doug Ford as cranks, as weirdos.
00:17:15.580They echoed Doug Ford's own language of those yahoos and covidiots.
00:17:20.500I think that you have a political and journalistic monoculture in Ontario.
00:17:43.560And I say again, it didn't help that Derek Sloan and Jim Carahalios and Randy Hillier and the others were splittist and made it impossible for a freedom-oriented small party to put it down any roots.
00:17:56.560I think Doug Ford today is less atrocious than he was six months ago when he was brutally enforcing the lockdown.
00:18:05.500But Doug Ford will literally say anything his handlers tell him to say if they show him a few polls to convince him it's the politically pragmatic thing to do.
00:18:16.560Don't think for a second that Doug Ford would not lock down Ontario again if his handlers told him to do so.
00:18:25.540The Liberal leader, Del Duca, threatened to re-lock down.
00:19:40.820I am disappointed to not have been successful here in my home community, my home riding of Vaughn Woodbridge.
00:19:47.340And I just want to say again, I have no doubt that the women and men that Ontario Liberals have elected to the legislature will do their part.
00:19:54.660In fact, we'll do more than their part to help grow a new and energetic progressive movement here in Ontario.
00:20:02.960It will, however, be a movement that will be led by a new leader.
00:20:08.480Earlier this evening, I informed our party president of my decision to step down from the leadership of our party.
00:20:15.800And I have asked him to meet with the executive to set a leadership contest for as soon as is reasonable.
00:20:22.340Yeah, that was last night in Ontario's election.
00:20:25.360I feel like the whole thing was anticlimactic.
00:21:01.340I didn't feel like I had a champion in this election.
00:21:04.820I didn't feel like I had a meaningful choice.
00:21:07.020I mean, it was all degrees of bad to me.
00:21:10.660Doug Ford probably was the least worst of the three big leaders.
00:21:14.720But anyone who oversees brutal lockdowns, mandates vaccines, denounces protesters who were peaceful, invokes his own emergencies act, seizes money.
00:21:29.320Like, really, how different was he on the key issues of the day than Justin Trudeau?
00:22:21.880The people aren't enthused by any of these leaders enough to actually get out and vote, as evidenced by this record-breaking voter turnout in Ontario's history.
00:22:33.160Yeah, you know, I see some of the media complaining that the federal Conservative Party is too much of a brawl.
00:22:41.160They're fighting each other too hard, which is a strange thing.
00:23:00.720And you'll at least know what the federal Conservatives stand for, whoever they choose.
00:23:05.260I don't think you could say the same because there were no sharp differences amongst these parties.
00:23:10.260You know, I remember watching the debates run by the government broadcaster at the provincial level, TVO.
00:23:19.400All of the questions were limited to areas of great agreement and consensus amongst the mainstream elites.
00:23:29.260There were no questions about civil liberties other than for about one second when the Liberal candidate pretended to care about, you know, unreasonable search and seizure of people on the streets during the lockdown.
00:23:43.040There was like about 10 seconds about civil liberties in the whole debate.
00:23:47.340They cared more about global warming than they cared about the civil liberties inferno the last two years.
00:23:53.540I really think it's awful in Ontario, and I don't think it's much of a victory other than a victory on paper.
00:23:59.420I suppose it's the only victory that counts.
00:24:08.640Yeah, I think indefinitely a weak day for democracy, again, as evidenced by that voter turnout.
00:24:13.120But I wonder, too, if a lot of the Liberals who obviously didn't align with Del Duca's sentiments, especially, I think, as he tried to mandate a major campaign, part of his campaign was trying to mandate the COVID injectables for children at school.
00:24:29.180And so I wonder that if Liberals are just so stubborn that they would rather stay home and not vote than to actually get out and switch to a different party.
00:24:39.060I mean, the illegal carting that Ford tried to put in place after he already decimated small businesses and terminated workers who didn't want to comply with a mandated medical procedure.
00:24:52.060I wonder if he's learned anything from that over the last two years, that, you know, touting and letting the Ontario science table essentially have free reign into policymaking decisions.
00:25:05.220And we saw that that was based more on political science than actual science.
00:25:09.840So I hope that that there's been some sort of refreshment, wake up call here for Ford that he will say, say, you know, obviously people, the tides have turned now.
00:25:22.220No one discussed any of the lockdowns and the policies and the measures that were put in place during the campaign trail, which I find very concerning because we lived under essentially totalitarian rule for the better part of two years under the Doug Ford regime.
00:25:35.020But I guess one way to look at this also isn't necessarily a cheer on for the fact that Ford won and he gained more seats, but rather a cheer on that the other two were so completely decimated that you saw both party leaders now resigning.
00:25:51.340Del Duca and Horwath are both passing the torch, so to speak, on to someone new to handle and manage the parties because they just were obviously didn't have their things together enough to actually
00:26:05.060garner more support and more seats. The NDP lost, what was it, eight, nine seats and Del Duca only gained one.
00:26:13.160He's not even official. The liberals are not official party status. Neither were they the last time around.
00:26:18.780So I think that there's a small win there that you just saw that Ontarians definitely didn't want the other two.
00:26:26.880Yeah, that's what I said. It's a bad election, which is slightly better than a worse election.
00:26:31.740I was about to say, well, maybe the leadership campaigns for the Liberal Party and the NDP will provide better leaders, and I just know that's not going to happen.
00:26:44.260I know that with every passing year, those two parties are engulfed more by wokeism, by identity politics, by really a form of extremism.
00:26:55.100The liberals haven't really cared about civil liberties in a very long time.
00:26:59.120The NDP haven't really been a party of the workers for a very long time.
00:27:02.740It was interesting how many labor unions did not endorse the NDP this time.
00:27:06.920I don't know. I mean, I've learned, I mean, I'm 50 years old, and so a lot of naivete is being beaten out of me over the years through bad experience.
00:27:14.760And I've learned that things can always get worse.
00:27:18.080That's actually, that's not a pessimistic point of view.
00:27:20.840It's just, it's actually the opposite.
00:27:23.600It's saying, you know, however, there may be some good things today that we lose if we change.
00:27:30.880I think that the next NDP leader will be so diabolically opposed to civil liberties, it's going to be atrocious.
00:27:38.720I noted in my monologue, the Communist Party of Ontario had like 0.04% of the vote, because you don't need the Communist Party.
00:27:46.120You've got all your authoritarian needs provided by at least two opposition parties, and most of the time by the government.
00:27:53.000I don't know. I'm just, I'm frustrated by it, and I'm trying to keep my hope alive by focusing on the federal level.
00:30:37.420You were a fight class client who got some outrageous Doug Ford fine.
00:30:40.800So it's great that you joined us and been fighting for freedom ever since.
00:30:45.540Yeah, well, thank you, Ezra, and for, of course, taking a chance on me as well.
00:30:49.280It's been a really great learning experience being with the rebel.
00:30:52.460And I look forward to seeing how the future goes as well.
00:30:55.640And actually, just before we close out, too, I wanted to mention that Ontario is now the eighth province in Canada or territory that holds a majority Conservative government.
00:31:06.020So if that lends anything into how Canadians are feeling coast to coast to coast, you know, I think that if we were to see something happen federally, and that's probably why Justin Trudeau chose last summer to call a snap election, because more Canadians are waking from their sleep.
00:31:24.080I hope, I hope this is evidence of that.
00:31:26.940And they're done with the wokeism, and they want to get back to regular, strong Canadian values once again.
00:31:59.960Your viewer feedback on my show about the media party reporter who bantered with me a bit.
00:32:05.320Mark Saulnier says, if only she challenged the woke liberal and NDP socialists, the ones who are actually in power, the same vigor as she would Pierre.
00:32:17.560Yeah, and arguing with me instead of arguing, say, with the CBC or some mighty, you know, brand that, you know, the Globe and Mail or the Toronto Star or the CBC.
00:32:29.800I mean, I'm not saying that we're nothing, but I've never seen her with the rage or the passion or the plain spokenness take on power the same way she takes on less power.
00:32:42.680I'm not saying that Pierre Polyev is nothing, and I'm not saying he shouldn't be scrutinized, and same with Rebel News.
00:32:49.640But it's very noticeable that a global news journalist thinks that she's totally challenging Justin Trudeau by saying, hey, come on, where's your censorship package already?
00:33:02.640Hey, come on, how come you're not going harder on climate change?
00:33:05.780She thinks that's speaking truth to power, whereas she calls Pierre Polyev a conspiracy theorist liar.
00:33:12.680Barry Forge says, a journalist with Global News is an oxymoron on steroids.
00:33:20.220You know, I'm old enough to have known a little bit Israel Asper, who is the Asper who created Global News.
00:33:29.020He created a great TV station, really from nothing, starting in Manitoba, and he built out from there, and it was a mighty and outstanding news agency.
00:33:39.560I think that that company has really strayed from his vision of excellence, and I'm sorry he's not around to guide it.
00:33:48.000Chud 67 BBC says, as is the case with Biden, who thinks Trudeau actually has 6 million followers?
00:33:57.940You're talking about his 6 million Twitter followers.
00:34:00.180Yeah, there's a lot of fake or robot or bot followers on Twitter.
00:34:05.400It's funny because when Elon Musk said he was making a massive $40 billion plus offer for the company, he later said, whoa, the company estimates only 5% of their followers are fake, but the number could be many times that.
00:34:19.800And if Joe Biden is close, I don't know, going from memory, close to 100 million followers, and half are fake, right there that tells you that Twitter's number can't be real.
00:34:30.560I wonder how many people are fake, and if they're just bots that someone else set up, or if it's what Trudeau and Biden purchased to make themselves look big and important.
00:34:41.300It wouldn't surprise me with either of those men.
00:34:45.900Until Monday, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
00:34:50.760Keep fighting for freedom, and let me leave you with our video of the day.
00:34:53.340Our friend David Menzies just shows the state of Doug Ford's conservative party.
00:34:58.840David Menzies, who's been to a dozen Ford Fests, who's been the, you know, other than Joe Warmington, probably the most friendly pro-Ford reporter in Ontario, banned from coming to Doug Ford's events.
00:35:13.140Even though he was personally invited, I think the fact that the Ontario government and Doug Ford are lurching into Justin Trudeau's style censorship and exclusion of journalists tells you all you need to know.
