Tonight, Justin Trudeau takes a stand in the Trucker Commission.
00:01:16.240
It's November 25th, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.
00:01:34.620
Another criticism that has leveled is that while the protests may have gotten, can we say, out of hand or snowballed and been extremely disruptive,
00:01:44.340
they weren't the actions of a small minority, but a real expression of frustration,
00:01:50.440
a legitimate frustration on behalf of a significant number of Canadians who had been through,
00:01:57.000
either suffered from or felt aggrieved by years of public health measures.
00:02:03.280
And in response to that, they wanted to engage, and they wanted you to speak to them, and they wanted to hear directly from their federal government,
00:02:29.940
They were very, very clear that they wanted an end to mandates.
00:02:34.820
The convoy protesters were expressing their disagreement with very specific public policies, that they were very vocal,
00:02:46.040
both in mainstream communications and through social media, on what they wanted, and they were very much heard.
00:02:56.260
They had political parties in the previous election very much carrying those messages and presenting them to Canadians as part of the options that Canadians had to choose in that previous election.
00:03:10.380
So, people were well aware of the opinions and concerns and perspective of those individuals.
00:03:22.940
Well, I know that the phrase, the Prince of Lies, is sometimes a nickname of the devil himself,
00:03:28.400
but I think if you take those words just at their literal meaning, I think Justin Trudeau is the Prince of Lies.
00:03:33.960
You had other lies, liars serving him over the last few days, Marco Mendocino, David Lameda, Christia Freeland, but of course the master of lies is Trudeau himself.
00:03:45.240
And I say that not as an insult, I say that as a description.
00:03:50.380
I think he's a sociopath, and I think that was on display today.
00:03:55.800
I think he holds on to false facts to keep his mindset together.
00:03:59.940
He finds internal excuses for atrocious behavior if he can just hold on to a few false facts.
00:04:06.520
Without further ado, let me bring on to the show my dear friend, Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter,
00:04:11.440
who has been live-tweeting Trudeau's testimony all day and has isolated six video clips that we're going to talk about.
00:04:19.280
Sheila, I probably started off a little bit too harsh there, calling him the Prince of Lies,
00:04:22.580
but reviewing these six clips and the two documents,
00:04:24.920
especially given that one of these documents was released an hour after Trudeau started testifying,
00:04:31.540
and it was deliberately done that late so that the lawyers didn't have a chance to cross-examine him on it.
00:04:38.880
They've had nine months to prepare for this commission of inquiry.
00:04:42.620
Nine months, and they gave this document an hour after Trudeau started talking.
00:04:52.180
I'm doing my best not to be stupider after all of this,
00:04:55.100
after listening to Justin Trudeau prattle on about so much of nothing sometimes.
00:04:59.620
He knows that a lot of these lawyers who are cross-examining him,
00:05:04.760
sometimes they only have five minutes, sometimes they have ten minutes,
00:05:07.640
and so he's very clearly gone to the Kamala Harris School of Public Speaking but saying nothing,
00:05:13.180
and he takes the long way around on everything.
00:05:15.160
He's, as they say, ragging the puck to make sure they don't get an opportunity to ask him questions.
00:05:22.920
Well, I mean, he doesn't have much time for the mere rule of law.
00:05:27.420
How many times is he being convicted under the Conflict of Interest Act?
00:05:32.180
Twice he lost to us in court when he tried to ban us from the leaders' debates,
00:05:35.520
and twice he says, I still don't think you're a real journalist.
00:05:47.260
Trudeau sometimes says something and then plays it back in his own head and said,
00:05:52.360
Like when he says China is the country he most admires.
00:05:56.040
If you look at the full clip, he says that for a while,
00:05:58.740
then he says, because he says that basic dictatorship can move quickly,
00:06:02.780
and then he says, yeah, and Harper would like that kind of power.
00:06:12.060
He says, well, I'll let you see it for yourself.
00:06:16.880
But in terms of responding to their demands or legitimizing them by engaging,
00:06:24.960
I'm highlighting that I'm worried about setting a precedent that a blockade on Wellington Street can lead to changing public policy.
00:06:36.300
And then she agreed that I need to be cautious and I don't want to set any bad precedents.
00:06:43.840
There's a willingness to discuss, but you were concerned about setting a precedent where a blockade could equal a change in public policy.
00:06:55.600
Yeah, I think we have a robust functioning democracy and protests, public protests are an important part of making sure we're getting messages out there
00:07:09.120
and Canadians are getting messages out there and highlighting how they feel about various issues.
00:07:13.340
But using protests to demand changes to public policy is something that I think is worrisome.
00:07:28.280
You know, protests, if you're out protesting that the government is, you know, shutting down a safe injection site or something,
00:07:36.500
But there is a difference between occupations and, you know, saying we're not going until this has changed
00:07:47.200
in a way that is massively disruptive and potentially dangerous versus just saying, yeah, we're protesting because we want public policy to change
00:07:58.720
and we're trying to convince people to get enough of them, that politicians will listen to enough people saying,
00:08:03.760
okay, I'm going to lose votes if I don't change this.
00:08:06.280
That's the usual way protests can be effective in our democracies.
00:08:15.700
So, for example, you couldn't have a strike at a factory because that would be disruptive.
00:08:21.260
You certainly couldn't block a railway track as they were blocked in Canada for months, a few years back.
00:08:29.220
And, by the way, Trudeau sent negotiators to me with them.
00:08:32.080
You couldn't block traffic like, you know, climate existence rebellion.
00:08:36.800
You couldn't, like his own cabinet minister, Stephen Gilboa, you couldn't break in to the CN Tower and rappel down or whatever Gilboa did.
00:08:46.880
You couldn't really do any of the anti-logging, anti-mining, anti-oil things that his liberal friends do.
00:08:54.160
The one thing he can think of that you are allowed to do is support drug injection sites for Canadians.
00:09:02.440
I think Trudeau did that same thing he did with his China quote.
00:09:06.360
He showed his true self and said, hang on, there's a little, you know, chimpanzee in his head clanging cymbals together.
00:09:18.100
I said something crazy there and he tried to fix it.
00:09:20.340
Yeah, you know, there's a lot of that happening today where he says something and then he realizes it's stupid and then he tries to fix it and then makes it worse.
00:09:30.480
Because what he did there was he said, basically, if you read between the lines the things he says you're allowed to do and what you're not allowed to protest,
00:09:39.660
he's basically saying conservatives are not allowed to protest for conservative causes.
00:09:44.380
But if this is left wing virtue signaling causes, for example, allowing people to continue to inject themselves with poison until they ultimately reach an untimely death, that's fine.
00:09:57.880
It's conservatives or, you know, people who just want to go back about their lives who are protesting me and disrupting me.
00:10:11.820
But disrupt him and his friends in Ottawa, of all places.
00:10:15.980
How dare you come to our pristine capital city?
00:10:19.620
Have your disruptive protests out there in the colonies, but don't come to King's Landing.
00:10:29.380
Now, clip number two shows that from a very early moment, he was thinking of going full martial law.
00:10:37.580
It sounds like he was talking about or thinking about martial law before things even got disruptive.
00:10:44.140
He just hated the sight of truckers and oil men and Westerners and independent people.
00:10:56.500
And I'm wondering if you can describe, if someone asked you, when did the Emergencies Act come into play as a possibility?
00:11:06.400
As an idea, it would have been from the very beginning, in the back of our minds.
00:11:14.540
As you see a situation that is an emergency, is out of control, has a potential for real impact on citizens, potential for violence,
00:11:26.260
real concerns, real concerns about what's going on, not just in Ottawa, but right across the country.
00:11:32.180
The Coutts blockade that started up on the same first weekend that the Ottawa occupation did.
00:11:40.320
These are the things that you say, okay, as we look at a whole range of potential outcomes in this,
00:11:50.540
there might be a moment where we have to invoke the Emergencies Act.
00:11:56.500
If he was talking about this from the very early moment, it wasn't because there was violence or danger.
00:12:06.220
It was just he hated the sight of working class, Western, hardworking, blue-collar folks getting a little uppity.
00:12:19.940
Protests are for Peter Pan men who never grow up like Stephen Gilbeau.
00:12:29.820
Deliver me my Amazon package or my DoorDash mail.
00:12:38.420
That's why he thought of going to martial law right from the beginning.
00:12:42.600
I don't think, like Black Lives Matter, that actually was disruptive.
00:12:53.080
He never for a second thought of martial law in those cases because those were his allies and friends.
00:13:01.800
I've never considered invoking it on Indigenous-led protests.
00:13:07.580
And we know that he's not even doing one of his usual Trudeau exaggerations here when he says that they considered it from the very beginning.
00:13:15.080
We know Bill Blair said to Global News that he considered it from the very beginning.
00:13:19.840
David Lamedi considered the Emergencies Act, we know, at least in text messages.
00:13:26.120
So, obviously, it was probably in his mind well before that.
00:13:28.940
About 36 hours into the arrival of the protests.
00:13:32.340
They hadn't even gotten through the whole weekend.
00:13:41.520
So, these people aren't joking when they said this was something in our mind from the very beginning.
00:13:45.300
And actually, it came out in testimony today that Justin Trudeau said that they had even considered this for the pandemic.
00:13:52.300
So, they were considering Emergencies Act in the country because of the pandemic.
00:13:58.740
Oh, thanks for being so benevolent, for not Emergencies Act in us for two and a half years straight.
00:14:04.200
But thank you for limiting it to just the time between you knew you were going to lose,
00:14:08.260
the time you invoked it and the time you knew you were going to lose the Senate vote on it.
00:14:16.480
You know, I just want to remind people of the violence that there was in Ottawa.
00:14:25.260
That someone was our reporter, Alexa Lavoie, who was shot in the leg with a riot weapon by the Ottawa police.
00:14:33.700
One of the worst moments in our company's history.
00:15:13.940
Alexa was not the only person who was violently attacked.
00:15:17.940
I understand she was indigenous who was stomped on by a riot horse.
00:15:51.060
The reason I show you those, both of them women, by the way,
00:15:59.160
is apropos of clip number three that we have for you
00:16:01.980
of Justin Trudeau showing how much he cares about women.
00:16:06.900
When there's a national emergency and serious threats of violence to Canadians
00:16:14.280
how would I explain it to the family of a police officer who was killed
00:16:17.680
or a grandmother who got run over trying to stop a truck
00:16:22.120
or a protester who was killed if I hadn't used the tools,
00:16:28.500
if one of the protesters, one of the occupiers,
00:16:32.480
had been killed in a violent clash with someone else?
00:16:40.520
and protecting the safety of all Canadians is a priority.
00:16:44.540
Except for the Emergencies Act doesn't talk about potential threat
00:16:51.260
It's an actual danger, an actual attack on the sovereignty of Canada,
00:16:59.780
And like I say, protesters were violated by the government.
00:17:03.640
It is not sufficient under law or in common sense
00:17:09.240
because you think your enemies are as evil as you project onto them.
00:17:12.940
Yeah, there was a lot of, I would suggest, marijuana paranoia
00:17:24.340
so many times that if you were playing a drinking game,
00:17:28.000
you'd have been hammered by about 9.45 this morning
00:17:32.920
because it was, there's a potential for violence,
00:17:36.060
there's a potential for this, there's a potential for that.
00:17:38.040
There's no such thing as potential in the Emergencies Act text writing.
00:17:45.800
It is, does it rise to the CSIS definition of national security threat?
00:17:54.320
There was a point at which Justin Trudeau was opining about weaponized vehicles.
00:17:58.380
He said, you know, I really became concerned when the vehicles became weaponized.
00:18:05.000
Well, the example he gave was when two cars got in a very minor fender bender
00:18:14.980
They were both protesters and there was a blockade
00:18:19.400
And there was, you know, just people sort of yelling at each other
00:18:23.800
But that was Justin Trudeau's definition of weaponized vehicles.
00:18:33.560
So that lie out there is part of the ether around the convoy
00:18:38.140
because Jason Kenney said that a car tried to ram the blockade.
00:18:42.980
And now we see our prime minister using that against peaceful protesters here in Alberta.
00:18:50.720
Play clip number five when Trudeau lists these threats.
00:18:53.580
He talks about using children as human shields.
00:18:57.440
He's projecting his own bizarre cruelty onto others.
00:19:03.260
He's talking about cars ramming police officers.
00:19:08.200
In a second, we'll show you how the RCMP clearly say that did not happen.
00:19:13.200
But here, take a look at Trudeau, the prince of lies.
00:19:20.100
And can you elaborate on what those threats were?
00:19:25.280
And again, we went around the table with officials from all different agencies
00:19:35.240
There was the militarization of vehicles, for example.
00:19:44.720
We'd seen, you know, cars ramming into police officers or other cars at coots.
00:19:50.220
We saw an incident like that in Surrey, I believe.
00:19:56.760
We saw trucks used as potential weapons, certainly in Ottawa with their presence and unknown interiors.
00:20:07.940
There was a use of children as human shields deliberately, which was a real concern, both at the Ambassador Bridge and the fact that there were kids on Wellington Street,
00:20:21.580
that people didn't know what was in the trucks, whether it was kids, whether it was weapons, whether it was both.
00:20:30.900
There was presence of weapons at coots, as we saw.
00:20:35.280
There was a concern around weapons being stolen in Peterborough that we didn't know, but 2,000 guns, that we didn't know where they had gone at that point.
00:20:43.940
We later found out that they didn't go there, but that was a real concern that we had about what was happening to them.
00:20:56.920
This is what I mean about the sociopathic, like for him to keep his worldview together, he needs those things to be true.
00:21:05.460
Here, just before I forget, here's our own reporters calling the RCMP and asking them to clarify if that slander that some protester rammed an RCMP in coots, that was the weaponization of vehicles, that was a lie told by Jason Kenney.
00:21:22.580
We knew that, and we got the RCMP, incredibly, to admit it on tape.
00:21:31.660
So I can confirm that we disabled three, looks like three, excavators to prevent the equipment from being used in the illegal activity of the blockade.
00:21:43.080
Was there an expectation there as to how they were going to be used?
00:21:50.880
I'm not sure what other questions you might have relative to that.
00:21:53.680
I wasn't part of that planning or the execution of that, so I don't think I can comment any further than that.
00:22:08.140
This is Sid calling you again, really quickly, if you have the time for a second.
00:22:13.400
Yep, so I just wanted to confirm exactly what the damage was done by the RCMP.
00:22:25.660
Right, I don't know, I don't know what we did to disable those vehicles, Sid.
00:22:28.920
Okay, but, okay, yeah, sorry, I forgot to get that bit there last time, but you did confirm
00:22:33.540
that it was you guys, but in terms of the specific damage, you're unaware.
00:22:38.100
Yeah, the specific steps that we took to disable those vehicles, I don't know.
00:22:47.000
So, you know, I don't know if Justin Trudeau is selectively editing from his memory any
00:22:58.040
I think he hunts for a few things that can allow him to psychologically say, no, no, I'm
00:23:07.040
Even though every single thing he listed there was either false, an exaggeration, or as you
00:23:16.100
said, just a potential, a potential human shield, he has to say that and do that to keep his
00:23:26.940
He justifies his tyranny with all these asterisks and stretches and exaggerations.
00:23:32.600
You know, if there really was a national emergency, you wouldn't have to string it together with
00:23:41.560
And we saw earlier in the Commission of Inquiry, cabinet ministers and other senior bureaucrats
00:23:47.360
brainstorming how they can gin up a media narrative about this is a danger, this is
00:23:52.680
rioters, this is January 6th, all over again, these are neo-Nazis.
00:23:56.520
If there were a Nazi uprising, if there were a revolution, if there were a mass danger in
00:24:02.400
Canada, you would know it, you would see it, you wouldn't have to spin journalists and exaggerate
00:24:11.900
He knows he's a liar, but he's doing this so he can look himself in the mirror.
00:24:16.880
You know, I think Justin Trudeau's statement there was revelatory of his own bigotry, of what
00:24:23.800
he thinks about blue-collar people, because he thinks that they are just violent, uncontrollable,
00:24:33.000
Because at no point, at no point were the police ever really in control of the situation there.
00:24:41.060
At every point where there was a protest or a blockade, the police were vastly outnumbered
00:24:48.760
by people far more useful than they're normally exposed to in the city of Ottawa.
00:24:55.640
These are the useful people that keep society going.
00:24:58.680
Those are the people who went to Ottawa to protest.
00:25:01.400
And at no point did they ever meet violence of the state with violence of their own.
00:25:07.940
When they were being trampled, they didn't riot.
00:25:10.300
When they were being snatched and grabbed, unlawfully confined, kidnapped, and taken outside
00:25:16.320
of town and dumped with no cell phone, sometimes no jacket, and no way back in minus 30, they
00:25:24.400
They could have taken over Ottawa 10 times over.
00:25:29.700
And there was something in there, too, that Justin Trudeau said about the trucks.
00:25:34.940
And again, it speaks to his own bigotry about blue-collar people and truck drivers in general.
00:25:43.760
He knew that his potential speculation, marijuana, paranoia, it wasn't enough to get a judge to
00:25:52.100
sign off on a warrant to say, can I search your truck?
00:25:55.220
And so he was really just desperate to get into the interior of those trucks and try his
00:26:03.880
But he had himself convinced, because he's such a bigot, that those people were just
00:26:09.220
armed to the teeth with weapons caches inside their truck.
00:26:14.900
They would sacrifice their own children, because they're the demonic ones, not him.
00:26:20.880
I want to play one more clip, and this is the thing you mentioned earlier.
00:26:24.280
Like I say, the Emergencies Act, the form of martial law that succeeded the War Measures
00:26:28.600
Act, it has built within a requirement that within a certain period of time,
00:26:33.880
after the invocation of martial law, a commission of inquiry like this one be convened.
00:26:38.980
So back in February, the entire world, including Justin Trudeau, knew what would happen.
00:26:46.040
And of course, the commission of inquiry has been meeting for more than a month, and we
00:26:52.120
And yet it was at 1026 AM, an hour after Trudeau started testifying, that Trudeau and his
00:26:59.980
staff thought they'd turn over, for the first time, documents showing what was really happening.
00:27:06.560
And I would like to play video number six, and then we'll show the documents thereafter.
00:27:12.600
So here's Rob Kittridge, who we had on the show the other day, asking Trudeau some questions
00:27:18.080
Could you identify on the other side what information was blacked out as irrelevant by your government?
00:27:30.860
And wouldn't you say that discussion of tow trucks was relevant to the discussion we're
00:27:40.860
It's the professional public service that made those redactions.
00:27:46.100
But in any event, I would put it to you that tow trucks weren't, in fact, required, that
00:27:53.360
the power to compel tow trucks was not used for anything other than convenience, and that
00:27:59.040
tow trucks had been secured at all important locations prior to the invocation of the Emergencies
00:28:04.680
And I got to say, it's interesting to close on this tow truck point.
00:28:11.100
But would you agree with me that tow trucks weren't, in fact, needed at the time of the invocation
00:28:17.460
Mr. Commissioner, Brian Gover for the Government of Canada.
00:28:20.080
And if my friend is going to put that to the witness, he ought to put the proposition
00:28:25.780
I remind my friend that the evidence of Commissioner Karik of the Ontario Provincial Police was that
00:28:34.200
the powers under the Emergency Measures Regulation in relation to tow trucks were used.
00:28:39.220
I refer specifically to his February 22, 2022 report to Deputy Solicitor General Di Tommaso,
00:28:49.320
which shows that clearly those powers were used.
00:28:54.020
Well, I would respond by saying that the evidence so far has shown that while, strictly speaking,
00:29:02.580
there was an indication or there was a use of that power under the Act by the OPP, it
00:29:07.580
was basically used as a method to ensure that the payment was made.
00:29:10.800
It's supposed to come to me, and I think those happen to be areas that I'm going to have to
00:29:19.500
But you can pose your question in a different way if you wish.
00:29:22.800
But I think whether or not they were used, whether or not it was required, is something
00:29:29.200
I think we're bearing the lead a little bit here, and I'll ask you again.
00:29:33.780
You would agree that a discussion of tow trucks and information about tow trucks is relevant
00:29:38.200
to the work of the Commission and the discussion that we're having here today, wouldn't you?
00:29:43.220
I know there was a lot of time spent on tow trucks during the past six weeks.
00:29:53.260
You know, we had Rob on the show the other day.
00:29:55.940
But I think when you have Justin Trudeau in the witness box, you put questions to him
00:30:05.680
Justin Trudeau was smiling like the cat that ate the canary while the lawyers bickered and
00:30:13.260
But I do want to show one more document, Sheila.
00:30:17.040
And it's a readout of the phone call between Trudeau and Yasser Nakhvi.
00:30:23.720
Because there's reference to a criticism of Trudeau.
00:30:39.820
I didn't know that there was such a thing as a dire protest.
00:30:47.600
These people are already losing their minds on like 18 hours into the protest.
00:30:53.360
And when I arrived in the downtown, I felt like I was coming into a city that had like
00:31:04.500
And I really felt like, I mean, I have been in cities where a great sporting victory has
00:31:09.000
happened and people pour it in the streets and just woo!
00:31:11.500
And like I thought, you know, I mean, I knew what I was there for.
00:31:18.060
But it really felt indistinguishable from like a city with a great cup victory.
00:31:23.340
And the flags and the joy and the Canadian flags and people were singing, oh, Canada.
00:31:31.420
And there was young guys who were excited, but there were families too.
00:31:34.340
To call that dire, I think that's like an inkblot test where this guy's projecting a
00:31:45.680
NACV says, I don't know if it was true, that there was a life-sized poster on a truck of
00:32:02.180
How does it feel when somebody calls you a Nazi?
00:32:09.600
So I think what that means, and it goes back to the very first clip we played of Trudeau.
00:32:13.880
Well, some protests he likes, some protests he doesn't.
00:32:19.220
Some protests are allowed to change public policy.
00:32:24.320
And about using the word Hitler, the word Nazi, Justin Trudeau is allowed to call working
00:32:31.340
class Canadians, conservatives, skeptics, even calls us Nazis.
00:32:36.380
His disgraced former advisor, Gerald Butts, called us Nazis.
00:32:40.640
So you can say Nazi when you're criticizing a conservative, even though it's completely
00:32:48.440
But God forbid someone who calls the martial law imposer, the I most admire communist China
00:33:07.180
And we'd better bring in martial law to stop those proles from getting the wrong idea.
00:33:15.840
And you're allowed to call people Nazis, but you're only allowed to call the little people
00:33:22.500
Never call Trudeau a Nazi or he'll invoke martial law.
00:33:27.880
You know, Ezra, I used to think that the concept of white male fragility was just a leftist thing.
00:33:35.240
Like, I just thought that that was just a leftist thing that they leveled at conservatives all
00:33:40.780
But I'm witnessing it firsthand here from Justin Trudeau.
00:33:48.620
And the second he turned, it was turned back on him, his ego was so fragile, he couldn't
00:33:56.980
And he used the most extraordinary powers of the state to silence them.
00:34:02.580
Well, Sheila, thank you for covering this, not just today, but you have been one of our
00:34:09.380
William Diaz Berthium has been on the ground running to talk to the reporters.
00:34:14.360
But you have lifted the heaviest load with the live tweeting and the commentary and then
00:34:21.680
I'm very proud of the whole team effort because I think if you add up all the different people
00:34:25.880
on the Rebel News team who worked for the truckercommission.com, that's our website,
00:34:37.040
We had people cutting video clips all day, tweeting the live stream.
00:34:42.660
I think that probably 20 different people in our company had a hand in it in some way.
00:34:50.240
And thank you for being the lead reporter on it and running the live stream and tweeting
00:34:57.320
I think that the commission itself achieved more than I thought it would.
00:35:04.800
I mean, we'll see what his rulings and his findings are.
00:35:08.420
I think the Justice Center lawyers did a great job.
00:35:10.840
Brendan Miller, I think, sort of fell apart at the end.
00:35:12.920
He got a little, I think he was just exhausted, frankly, and probably sleep deprived.
00:35:16.420
And I think he made some mistakes in the very end there.
00:35:25.420
But I think that, I think he still was a great lawyer throughout.
00:35:28.940
And the JCCF lawyers and Alan Hohner of the Democracy Fund, I think they did great.
00:35:33.080
And without those freedom lawyers, the trucker lawyers, the JCCF lawyers, the Democracy Fund
00:35:38.200
lawyers, this would have been a very different thing, wouldn't it?
00:35:43.280
And special thanks to Keith Wilson and Eva Chipiak from the convoy, the convoy lawyers.
00:35:51.440
They were the two that were on the ground working to keep the convoy from getting just the full
00:35:58.140
Justin Trudeau, my favorite dictatorship treatment.
00:36:01.420
And they've been so generous with their time on our live streams, giving us the appropriate
00:36:06.220
legal analysis instead of the CBC, maybe it was Russians analysis that the mainstream media
00:36:13.480
But I truly believe that our work on the Trucker Commission is simply an extension of the work
00:36:21.200
People look to us back then to tell the other side of the story.
00:36:24.720
And in this instance, the other side of the story is the full truth to show what was accurately
00:36:31.920
And we are continuing to do that by showing what's accurately happening in that commission
00:36:37.200
It's a big job, but I think Canadians deserve it.
00:36:41.300
And you know, I feel like Rebel News and other independent journalists, citizen journalist,
00:36:46.440
Viva Fry, for example, the lawyer vlogger from Montreal, he did a great job in the trucker
00:36:52.600
commission in, sorry, in the trucker convoy itself back in February.
00:36:56.440
And I think independent citizen journalists won the battle of ideas in February.
00:37:01.420
And this trucker commission was when the empire was going to strike back, when they were going
00:37:11.200
I think that that was in part because the commission actually had the power to subpoena
00:37:16.960
I don't know about compel testimony, but certainly subpoena people's appearance.
00:37:23.040
I mean, of course, the regime media, every day I pick up the Toronto Star, I can't even
00:37:26.640
believe, am I in the same planet as these people?
00:37:31.440
But again, I think that Rebel News and other independent media have such an important audience
00:37:38.460
And they know you just can't trust the government media.
00:37:41.680
And I and I think that Rachel Gilmore, the TikTok girl from Global and Glenn McGregor
00:37:47.740
from CTV, I think they've so disgraced themselves that, you know, sure, they do have their, you
00:37:53.080
know, legacy audience that's just with them for pure inertia and out of habit.
00:38:00.060
But really, I think the trucker convoy and covering this commission, it was Rebel News
00:38:05.880
that dominated and that gave people, as our motto says, the other side of the story.
00:38:12.700
And thanks for giving me half an hour of your time today.
00:38:17.480
I think the lawyer for Alberta is up right now.
00:38:20.940
Sheila Gunry, our chief reporter, and we'll let her get back to it.
00:38:24.480
As you know, we record the show a little bit earlier than we air it.
00:38:27.200
So as we record it, the commission of inquiry is still proceeding.
00:38:46.880
Tom Brose says, are you still optimistic about the trucker commission?
00:38:50.180
After watching the judge today either scared or unwilling to rule on the redacting issue,
00:38:55.260
It seems that he is scared to upset his political masters by ruling against him on this issue,
00:38:58.700
which should have been done a long time ago in the interest of fairness.
00:39:02.620
And if they care about that, way too much political BS with no accountability at the
00:39:16.160
But I think it was a more transparent hearing and commission than we've ever had.
00:39:21.700
It was the most accountability Trudeau and his henchmen have ever had.
00:39:25.120
And to see actual passionate, partisan, freedom-oriented lawyers have a chance to take a run at Trudeau
00:39:34.720
I agree with you that the government was playing games and they knew that they could because
00:39:45.140
And as Sheila pointed out, one of the documents was released at 1026 a.m.
00:39:49.940
after Trudeau started testifying an hour earlier.
00:39:58.640
And I'd be foolish to predict what the judge says, but I'm actually optimistic about him
00:40:07.380
Hi, Ezra Trudeau's thespianism is like listening to a bedtime story, although I never felt nauseous
00:40:14.640
As for the alleged misidentification of the Nazi flag guy, it brings to mind the professor in
00:40:18.620
the U.S. that cracked a young man's skull, Trump supporter with a lock in the sock.
00:40:23.060
It was the computer nerds who searched on mass facial recognition images from previous
00:40:26.960
left-wing protests to match up with the perp who was arrested and convicted.
00:40:32.200
Perhaps someone got a look and a pic of the Canadian version of Ray Epps.
00:40:38.240
As for Freeland, she is the epitome of where we are.
00:40:44.820
Firstly, on Chrystia Freeland, it is not a matter of speculation.
00:40:50.080
It is a matter of fact that Chrystia Freeland has belatedly acknowledged that her father
00:40:54.280
actually was a Nazi, seized a Jewish newspaper, turned it into a Nazi propaganda machine.
00:41:00.280
And of course, I don't blame Chrystia Freeland for what her grandfather did before she was
00:41:04.640
But the fact that she hid that and that she herself has shown sympathies towards Stepan
00:41:20.620
I mean, listen, of course, I'm open to any facts.
00:41:23.100
But so far, absolutely zero facts have been presented to say that Brian Fox is the Nazi
00:41:29.560
You saw Sean Folks, the guy who's for the affidavit.
00:41:34.800
He met and spoke with a mass guy briefly in January, and then suddenly in November, he's
00:41:40.480
so sure of it, but only from seeing a website photo.
00:41:44.080
But remember the key thing that Sean Folks said when he talked about the Nazi guy back
00:41:53.460
I think that Brendan Moore was so revved up and so desperate to get him that he sort of
00:42:00.260
did ready, shoot, aim instead of ready, aim, fire.
00:42:06.080
And as someone who was falsely being called names before by the left, I don't think we
00:42:13.820
And I hope that Brendan Miller fixes that because I think he had generally an excellent month
00:42:22.740
And thanks to Sheila for covering things so meticulously.
00:42:26.300
And the rest of our team, Efron Monsanto, William Diaz Berthium, Celine Glass.
00:42:31.360
I'm not going to list everyone, Kian Simone, Sidney Fusard.
00:42:37.220
It was actually super fun to have that base camp there.
00:42:42.600
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,
00:42:49.120
With the Public Order Emergency Commission wrapping up this week, I thought it was the perfect
00:42:56.620
For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Emergency Commission, this is an inquiry into
00:43:01.180
the circumstances that led to the declaration of the Emergency Act that dismantled the Trucker's
00:43:07.660
Jaskinwall Singh attended the Trucker's Convoy with his friends to stand in solidarity with
00:43:12.440
his fellow Canadians who were protesting COVID mandates at the time.
00:43:16.340
Unfortunately, just like many other Canadians, Jaskinwall was on the receiving end of heavy
00:43:21.840
police force on the final days of the convoy, which ultimately led to his arrest.
00:43:27.360
Now, I'm going to show you the footage from the incident.
00:43:29.940
There's a lot going on, but if you look closely, you can see Jaskinwall, who is the man with
00:43:34.560
the orange turban and orange flag, be pulled behind the police line.
00:44:11.520
Like I said, there's a lot going on in the video
00:44:37.420
It's hard to make out what exactly is happening
00:44:39.820
That's why I caught up with Jaskunwal in Toronto
00:44:54.500
I went to the University of Ottawa for law school
00:44:56.500
Before that, I went to York University for criminology
00:45:07.700
The last few years have definitely been confusing for many people
00:45:13.640
The way the protest was going was far different
00:45:17.640
The last few years was confusing for people in terms of the pandemic
00:45:26.160
And we wanted to go see what was going on with the protesters in Ottawa
00:45:30.060
And to see their version of events and see what was going on there
00:45:33.600
We were there in Ottawa in the spirit of democracy, civil discourse
00:45:36.600
And just coming to an understanding of what was going on politically, economically and socially
00:45:42.600
My parents, they are immigrants who came from India
00:45:49.600
A lot of Sikhs were Canadian soldiers who sacrificed for this country
00:45:52.600
So through blue collar jobs, through the world wars
00:45:57.600
And in honour of that, we wanted to do our best to understand what was going on in this country
00:46:01.600
Because it's important for us to honour those sacrifices
00:46:04.600
Not just from the Sikh background, but from all backgrounds in Canada
00:46:13.600
So because of that, we also found it important to be there
00:46:16.600
The protest was vilified and the protesters were maligned by politicians
00:46:22.600
Who called them extremist, racist, misogynistic
00:46:25.600
And my friends and I drew parallels to other countries
00:46:28.600
Where the governments and media would do the same thing
00:46:31.600
For example, for Sikhs back home who fight for their human rights
00:46:35.600
In relation to things such as the farmers' protest
00:46:40.600
So we saw a parallel where whenever a protest was happening
00:46:44.600
Whenever there were citizens that wanted to voice their concerns
00:46:47.600
The first thing the media and the government would do
00:46:52.600
So the public would dismiss the validity of their concerns
00:47:04.600
In Sikhi, it is crucial for Sangith to come together
00:47:11.600
To focus on spiritual values, principles of life
00:47:22.600
It's important that we remain vigilant as Sikhs
00:47:30.600
They have an impact upon the ways we perceive the reality that we're in
00:47:35.600
And the ways in which we can access our social institutions
00:47:46.600
There was nothing but love, peace, compassion and unity
00:47:53.600
They had people who were listening to their stories
00:47:57.600
And not the politicians who were sworn to protect us
00:48:02.600
The atmosphere there meant that there was a place of unity
00:48:09.600
And people felt as if there was a place that they could heal
00:48:13.600
A place where they weren't judged for what they believed
00:48:16.600
And a place where people voiced what made them passionate
00:48:23.600
Whether this was because politicians were being hypocritical
00:48:35.600
Over how the jabs might have impacted people they knew
00:48:39.600
On the day of my arrest, which was February 19, 2022
00:48:45.600
My friends and I were being peaceful with the police
00:48:51.600
There was a Toronto police officer who fist bumped me
00:48:54.600
There were my friends who were giving snacks to police officers
00:48:57.600
A few friends of mine who were hugging the police officer
00:49:20.600
And there's various police forces that were together
00:50:58.600
How long are you going to keep him on the floor?
00:53:44.600
And unlawfully, arbitrarily arrested and beat me
00:54:37.600
To uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
00:54:58.600
For many people based on a private medical decision
00:55:42.600
A decision that is not dealing with undue pressure
00:55:48.600
Or anything that would take away from a clear conscience
00:55:51.600
This is something that should be done with moral courage
00:55:54.600
This is something that should be done with a free mind
00:56:20.600
And these principles are not just principles for Sikhi
00:56:38.600
While disrespecting the sanctity of these articles of faith
00:56:41.600
Meant that I couldn't give them the proper respect
00:56:53.600
It tied in with my journey back towards my faith
00:57:16.600
The love for the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
