Who is the man who body-snatched Premier Doug Ford? Is it aliens, a robot or something even more sinister? Or is it something far more sinister like the plot to take over the world by the aliens in the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
00:01:31.300Now, as the title implies, the film's plot revolves around the replacement of people.
00:01:36.960When the alien life forms take over a person, they look exactly like their former human selves.
00:01:42.380But appearances can be deceiving, because while the body-snatched victim may appear to be a genuine member of Homo sapiens,
00:01:50.900they have been reduced to a mere Xerox copy.
00:01:54.580Their DNA is now 100% alien as opposed to human.
00:01:58.580And so the conquest of the world begins one body-snatched victim at a time.
00:02:06.240Now, I was reminiscing about this fantastic, albeit frightening, flick, because lately I've been pondering who is responsible for the body-snatching of Premier Doug Ford.
00:02:17.500Oh, to be clear, I'm not saying that this man has been transformed into a plant-based alien.
00:02:24.500Rather, he seems to be resembling something far worse.
00:02:28.720He's a liberal now, or at least some hybrid that resembles a liberal.
00:02:33.720Just check out how much time he's spending these days with his best new boyfriend, Justin Trudeau.
00:02:40.680Indeed, this uncanny transformation over four years has been quite something to witness.
00:02:46.060How did Doug Ford, the king of Ford Nation, morph into the prince of cancel culture,
00:02:53.160a leader who now resembles a liberal lackey as opposed to a genuine conservative?
00:02:58.560How did a man who ran the 2018 election with slogans such as,
00:03:04.000For the people and Ontario open for business,
00:03:07.980decide to screw the people of Ontario and shutter so many businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic?
00:03:14.460Oh, unless, of course, you were part of the chosen few,
00:03:18.140such as Walmart and Costco and the provincially-owned Liquor Control Board of Ontario,
00:03:23.620and, of course, the Ford family-owned Deco Labels,
00:03:27.120an enterprise, I understand, from the scuttlebutt where business has never been better.
00:03:33.280Yet, be it lockdowns or vaccine apartheid,
00:03:36.720Ford has resembled less a leader and more of a certain pop culture marine mammal.
00:03:42.800Yeah, in the past two years, especially,
00:03:55.680Doug Ford has done so many backflips on policy
00:03:58.740that it would make Olympic gold medal gymnast Nadia Cominenci blush.
00:04:04.060Meanwhile, Queen's Park has resembled that place in the song,
00:15:26.900But that was when Premier Ford was simply Doug Ford, a man who was running for mayor of Toronto.
00:15:35.380The PC Palace coup involving the ouster of Arena slash Beaver inspector Patrick Brown would not occur until January 2018.
00:15:44.880In any event, days turned into weeks as I contacted Doug, asking him when we were going to launch the inaugural Ford Nation show.
00:15:53.880My emails and my texts and my voicemails went unreturned.
00:15:58.740I finally caught up with Doug in November of that year at a press conference.
00:16:03.700I apologize for nagging him for the past two months, but we had to know when are we going to launch this show.
00:16:10.180And that's when I got a very early indicator as to what sort of a leader Doug Ford is or was going to become.
00:16:19.240Which is to say, Doug told me, if we're up to him, we'd film that first episode tomorrow.
00:16:26.740But then he said, you see, Dave, it's the team.
00:16:30.920The team, Dave, the team has other ideas.
00:16:34.420And the team strategy does not include a weekly Rebel News show.
00:16:38.480So even before Doug was a candidate for the PC leadership, he had already been co-opted by the team, whoever the hell these puppet masters are.
00:16:52.120So in retrospect, it should come as no surprise, really, that the 2022 vintage of Doug Ford barely resembles the 2017 version.
00:17:03.320Doug Ford has effectively been body snatched.
00:17:06.400The patriarch of Ford nation, the common man who drives a common van, has been replaced, not by an alien species, mind you, but by those nebulous backroom boys who obviously think the key to being a successful progressive conservative is to be, well, more progressive than conservative, to be more liberal, in fact.
00:17:35.520Oh, and by the way, guys, kindly ask Aaron O'Toole how that idiotic strategy worked out for him.
00:17:43.900In the final analysis, unlike the 1955 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, there was no due rigueur Hollywood happy ending for the 78 reboot.
00:17:54.320In case you haven't seen this flick, and spoiler alert, folks, the movie ends with the beginning of humanity's extinction event.
00:18:03.660The residents of San Francisco have all been replaced with other life forms.
00:18:08.900Sure, they look like members of Homo sapiens, but they're not, as they go about planning a conquest of not just one city, but of the entire planet.
00:18:20.860I just wonder if such an ending is in the cards for the governing PC party come Election Day, just two weeks away.
00:18:30.120What we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina, and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets.
00:18:47.900So, yesterday, I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of this cabinet, or even more half of this cabinet, are actually young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
00:19:43.900Now, I understand you're about an hour away from Davos as we speak, but, you know, we can't help think of the term, the Great Reset, when we talk about the WEF, Avi.
00:19:57.420And I'm just curious, how do you define the Great Reset?
00:20:05.560I'll probably define it the way they define it.
00:20:11.040Starting from scratch for everyone else but them.
00:20:15.220A bit like the concept of you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
00:20:19.700So it'll be interesting to see what actually plays out here over the next week.
00:20:23.680And, you know, Avi, that is the catchphrase, of course.
00:20:27.520I can't help but feel that with the events of the last two years around the world, and especially so in Australia and Canada, I would argue, it kind of feels like we're living in the Great Reset.
00:20:41.200But so many people have been thrown out of work.
00:21:00.960I think it's all going to plan just perfectly, and that's why it's so important that we come here and tell the other side of the story from here, from Switzerland, because we can't rely on the mainstream media, not the taxpayer-funded media, not in Canada, not certainly in Australia.
00:21:21.000We're about, I think we're about almost three days into travelling.
00:21:25.140We've just arrived here an hour from Davos not long ago, in the middle of nowhere.
00:21:32.660But we're ready to get to work and present the other side of the story, show people what the plan really is for the rest of the world.
00:21:40.680I think it's, interestingly enough, walking around here in Switzerland where you wouldn't even know COVID exists, the rest of the world has been, like Australia, I know, has been suffering under some of the guidelines and the rules and the restrictions and the ideas that have come out of the World Economic Forum and the WHO, both which are here now in a place that doesn't really have any sort of COVID restrictions at the moment.
00:22:07.840So it's another case of putting it upon everyone else whilst not having to live through it yourself.
00:22:17.000So over the next week, there's, I think, five or six of us here.
00:22:23.500Well, Avi, I'm so happy that you didn't have to make one of your transfers at Pearson International in Toronto because you'd think you were in the thick of COVID with all the lineups, the random testing, the questionnaires.
00:22:37.860But of course, according to Prime Minister Trudeau and our Transportation Minister, it's our fault, even though travel capacity is only 70% of what it was in 2019.
00:22:57.220But what exactly do WEF members discuss at a WEF annual meeting?
00:23:05.500In other words, do you know what is on the agenda and what's up for discussion come Sunday?
00:23:12.040Well, we know with the WHO, which is also holding at the same time the meeting about the pandemic treaty, where they essentially want to control the rest of the world.
00:23:21.440And because they, you know, they did such a great job of getting everything right at every step of the way during COVID.
00:23:27.840So now they want to ensure that next time we absolutely listen to everything they say and there's no way out of it.
00:23:34.360They want to override, you know, each country's constitutions and local laws.
00:23:40.620But I guess it's a similar thing you're going to see out of the WEF.
00:23:48.720And these are people on any issue, whether it's COVID, whether it's climate change.
00:23:53.460You're going to see them come from around the world in their private jets, in their limousines, to preach to us how we must all live and dictate to us how we're going to live from now on.
00:24:06.480And countries around the world, including Australia, the prime minister, we've got an election this week and come next week.
00:24:12.840It doesn't matter which side of politics.
00:24:14.680They're going to sign up to whatever garbage is going to come out of Switzerland next week, whether it's in the WEF or from the WHO.
00:24:23.900You know, Avi, you raise an interesting point in terms of the members.
00:24:27.840I'm wondering, you know, if you go back a couple of years, we saw what happened with the U.K. vis-a-vis the European Union, Brexit, which was a laughable concept in the beginning, or so the elites thought, became reality.
00:24:44.540And the U.K. divorced itself from the economic union.
00:24:48.400And I'm wondering, are there any countries right now that are part of the WEF that are having maybe buyer's remorse and saying, you know what, the direction this organization is going, it isn't what we signed up for.
00:25:03.780And maybe it's time to make our exit as well.
00:25:07.940I think the WEF has gotten away with immunity for so long because there hasn't been a real light shone upon it, which is what we're hoping to do next week here.
00:25:24.780I think until now, there's not been much scrutiny, so there's not much political will or at least public outrage at what they are dictating to us.
00:25:35.500I think we are going to see what you're talking about more with the WHO in a more immediate future, especially, you know, we're going to see countries or at least populations talk about leaving the WHO, the U.N.
00:25:51.600And that's the thing, we're all member states of the WHO, the WEF is a little bit differently how it operates, it's more of a private exclusive club that every prime minister and every president and of every persuasion seems to want to be a member of on a personal level and have a platform there.
00:26:10.760The WHO, though, as each country, we're all members of it, and now they want to up the ante with regards to that membership.
00:26:22.180I'm hoping that next week we see with Australia specifically that that balance of power in the election is shifted to freedom-focused independence,
00:26:33.420and we've been covering a lot of that in Australia over the past few weeks with our special AusDecides.com project.
00:26:42.780But we've seen that there is a shift, and a lot of those candidates have talked about exiting the WHO or even the U.N.
00:26:52.580So it will be interesting with regards to Australia, I'm hoping, is a start of something that shifts away from that globalist-controlling, elitist-controlling kind of structure we've grown into in the last two years suffering with, the consequences of that.
00:27:15.980A hundred percent, Avi, and I've got to tell you, I mean, when it comes to the mainstream media, it seems to me that they either turn a blind eye to WEF shenanigans,
00:27:25.440or they actually serve as outright cheerleaders for this organization.
00:27:30.140That won't be the case with you and other members of Team Rebel News.
00:27:35.140I'm sure you're going to ask some prickly, perhaps impolite questions if you do indeed get the chance to do so.
00:27:42.520So I'm just wondering what your reception is going to be like, because it's certainly not going to be a love-in, a la so many members of the mainstream media, is it now?
00:27:54.180Well, just like I said a moment ago, you know, it's not only political figures and presidents and prime ministers that seem to want membership to this exclusive club.
00:28:04.680It's also the mainstream media, and it's the owners of those networks, and as you know, I don't think Ezra's trying to join the WEF.
00:28:14.880He just wants to get to the bottom of it.
00:28:16.400And when we say prickly questions, we're just going to ask what the average Joe wants to know.
00:28:22.340You know, these people are telling us how we should lead our lives with regards to everything.
00:28:32.740I think that the questions that we ask, it might make them feel uncomfortable, but I guarantee you, I feel quite comfortable asking it.
00:28:40.620Fantastic. Well, Abby, we're running out of time, so an exit question.
00:28:43.660If you were to get the ear of Klaus Schwab, what question would you ask him, my friend?
00:28:49.660What he owns, and whether he's willing to give it up to me.
00:29:57.180More of the Ezra Levent show to come right after this.
00:29:59.880Well, folks, we got plenty of response to Ezra's monologue on the debate that happened on Monday in Toronto regarding the Ontario election.
00:31:31.220And we're here in downtown Calgary for a protest in response to the leaking of a decision from the United States Supreme Court on Roe v. Wade.
00:31:40.740Now, this decision, which has not yet been released, would effectively overturn Roe v. Wade and return authority and regulation of abortion back to the states.
00:31:49.940Many consider Roe v. Wade to be a landmark case on abortion rights and have therefore, across the United States, very often with an intent to intimidate judges, and now here in Calgary, gathered to stand up for what they believe is their fundamental right to abortion.
00:32:03.360If you don't know how to pronounce your local Indigenous nation's name, we won't say your story of origin, acknowledged stolen lands, imposed economic oppression.
00:32:15.020Well, we attempted to speak to some of the organizers and some of the people here to get their side of the story on this pro-abortion protest.
00:32:22.060Unfortunately, there's been a bit of a concerted effort among the organizers and some of the people here to tell people not to speak to us.
00:32:27.920Those people are very happy to speak to the mainstream media, of course, but unfortunately, we aren't going to be able to get that side of the story.
00:32:33.960And unlike the March for Life, we've not seen a counter-protest contingent here, so we're unable to speak to those people as well.
00:32:39.620So a little bit of a short and quiet day, it seems.
00:32:42.180We're going to hang around and capture the content, capture some people's speeches, and then we'll make our way out of here.
00:32:47.200I acknowledge them regularly and say, I love you.
00:33:31.160Because, at the end of the day, a government that cares about babies doesn't de-index the child tax benefit that cut child poverty in Calgary.
00:33:42.980So no lack of action in downtown Calgary today.
00:33:46.100The pro-choice, pro-abortion protest that's taking place was actually originally intended to take place at City Hall.
00:33:51.580But there was already a pro-Palestinian protest, which you can see behind me, taking place.
00:33:55.020So they decided to move over to Olympic Plaza today.
00:33:57.660Well, there's certainly a great amount of attention paid by the pro-abortion, pro-choice rally taking place to street church here.
00:34:03.880Perhaps they're under the impression that there's a counter-protest going on, but that's simply not the case.
00:34:08.340This is part of Pastor Artur Provolowski's street ministry.
00:34:11.380And they gather here several times a week in order to feed Calgary's unhoused communities.
00:34:16.020We heard frequent allegations, implications that Christians or pro-lifers simply don't care about people after they're born.
00:34:22.280But what we're seeing here is a witness to the contrary, this church community here feeding people who need to be fed.
00:34:29.100You know, Christian message is always and always have been about life.
00:34:33.960From the moment of conception, either you are strong and on a high rise or you are on the streets.
