Hello, my friends. I saw a story over the weekend, and I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
00:00:04.440
Maybe you saw it, too. It was everywhere. The identical story with the identical headline
00:00:08.520
in the Toronto Star, CBC, CTV, CP24. Even the Toronto Sun ran the same story.
00:00:16.840
And it was attacking Pierre Paulyov, word for word. How did that happen? That so-called media
00:00:22.820
competitors wrote the same thing? I'll show you how and who was behind it. That's ahead. But first,
00:00:27.620
I want you to subscribe to what we call Rebel News Plus. It's the video version of this podcast,
00:00:32.360
and I really think it helps us tell the story because we show you so many things, either video
00:00:36.520
clips or documents. I want to show you how the Toronto Sun depicted this story, for example. I
00:00:42.340
want to show you visually how they all copied each other. To get the visual version, go to
00:00:49.260
rebelnewsplus.com. That's what we call the video version. This is eight bucks a month, and I know
00:00:54.840
that's not a lot of dough to you, but let me tell you, it's a lot to us because it adds up.
00:00:59.540
When enough people subscribe, we can really pay our bills here. It's the only way we can because
00:01:04.180
Trudeau has demonetized us. Well, YouTube demonetized us, and Trudeau would never give
00:01:09.820
us a grant, and we would never take it from him. So please subscribe to help us out and to get
00:01:14.200
great video content at rebelnewsplus.com. Tonight, let me show you how Trudeau's office
00:01:34.320
plants an identical story in the entire regime media. It's August 14th, and this is the Ezra
00:01:40.380
Levant Show. Hey, look at this story on CTV. The headline is, Polyev's Conservative Party
00:02:02.920
Embracing Language of Mainstream Conspiracy Theories. That's the headline. I'll read the
00:02:09.740
story in a moment, but before I do, look at this story in the CBC, not CTV. CBC says,
00:02:17.000
Polyev's Conservative Party Embracing Language of Mainstream Conspiracy Theories. Hang on,
00:02:22.880
isn't that literally word for word the same headline? Well, let's check in with the competition,
00:02:29.100
another TV station called the City News. Their headline is, Polyev's Conservative Party Embracing
00:02:35.940
Language of Mainstream Conspiracy Theories. Word for word. Okay, how about the Toronto Star? It's a
00:02:43.220
newspaper now, not a TV station. Their headline, Polyev's Conservative Party Embracing Language of
00:02:49.580
Mainstream Conspiracy Theories. Let's try that one more. Here's an all-news channel in Toronto called
00:02:57.320
CP24. Polyev's Conservative Party Embracing Language of Mainstream Conspiracy Theories.
00:03:04.200
Even the allegedly conservative Toronto Sun was on it. They have the same story, even though they put
00:03:10.860
their own headline on it called, Just Pandering. But the story that follows is identical. Word for word.
00:03:18.920
They're all in on it. Every one of them. By the way, those aren't just branches of the same company. I mean,
00:03:28.740
CP24 and CTV are part of the same company. But the rest are owned by different owners. Now, all of the
00:03:37.500
owners are heavily regulated by Trudeau and all are heavily subsidized by Trudeau. Only the CBC is
00:03:44.240
officially a state broadcaster owned outright by the government, but the rest are rented by the
00:03:49.800
government, which actually makes them more obedient because they're desperately, constantly lobbying
00:03:54.440
for the next grant from Trudeau. I mean, I could stop here, and that's huge news, what I just showed
00:04:00.360
you. It's embarrassing to the journalists if they were capable of embarrassment, but they're not.
00:04:05.620
So let me show you some more. Here's Katie Telford, Trudeau's chief of staff.
00:04:11.260
Polyev's conservative party embracing language of mainstream conspiracy theories. You can see she's
00:04:18.280
linking to one of the stories. Now, Telford herself didn't write the story. I'll show you who wrote the
00:04:24.180
story in a moment. But yesterday morning, she made a point of tweeting it. Telford. Now, like I say,
00:04:30.960
she's the chief of staff. She's the second in command for Trudeau after Gerald Butz, the corrupt
00:04:37.160
lobbyist who orchestrated the firing of Jody Wilson-Raybould as justice minister, because Wilson-Raybould
00:04:42.560
wouldn't call off the corruption trial of Trudeau's friends at SNC-Lavalin. My point about Telford
00:04:46.980
is that she is a top dog. The liberals have 158 MPs and hundreds of communication staff. The liberal
00:04:54.680
party itself has a large following, including 400,000 on Twitter. Telford's job is not a press secretary,
00:05:00.880
and she really doesn't tweet that much, usually just once or twice a day, often high-minded policy
00:05:07.040
tweets, usually retweeting cabinet ministers. So when Katie Telford weighs in on a Sunday morning,
00:05:13.080
it's for a reason. She herself doesn't have a particularly large Twitter following,
00:05:19.100
but it's probably the most influential Twitter following in Ottawa. Every journalist,
00:05:24.100
every lobbyist, every hanger-on follows her. So that's what she was doing. She was talking to
00:05:31.860
the liberal party's real base, the media. This was her bat signal, like in the Batman series,
00:05:40.040
her way of calling to her whole tribe. This is the message we all have to deliver, get the bat
00:05:45.080
signal going. And they all did, didn't they? It was like watching a flock of birds align in perfect
00:05:53.060
formation. The article itself was written by a reporter named Mickey Jurich. I'd never heard of
00:05:59.480
her before. The reason why the article appeared in so many different publications simultaneously is
00:06:04.300
it was published by a newswire called Canadian Press, which has a stable of their own reporters,
00:06:10.300
and other news companies can subscribe to Canadian Press and republish whatever they like from it.
00:06:15.900
Newswires are useful for covering things that a local newspaper can't attend in person. For example,
00:06:21.140
newswires are useful for covering foreign news. That's actually how they got going over a hundred
00:06:26.460
years ago. A local newspaper couldn't afford to have someone in Washington and London and Paris and
00:06:32.080
Moscow, but news agencies like Reuters could, and that's how they made money. But of course,
00:06:37.700
every subscribing newspaper was relying on that same newswire reporter. That's what the Canadian press
00:06:43.580
is. It's also called CP. By the way, we subscribe to CP for photos because we don't have a cameraman
00:06:50.220
everywhere in the country. Obviously, we would never run CP's written propaganda like this, but our
00:06:55.040
thinking is a picture is generally just a picture, and so we pay for them. We're part of CP too, in a way.
00:07:01.860
Of course, Mickey Jurich of Canadian Press isn't based in some far-flung region. She's just in Ottawa,
00:07:08.120
along with hundreds of other journalists. Here's her LinkedIn biography. You can see that before she
00:07:15.220
worked for CP. She worked for the CBC. It really is one big club, and you're not in it. The story,
00:07:21.600
and I'll read it in a moment, isn't some unique insight or like a foreign newswire, something that
00:07:26.580
was very difficult to get for a Canadian media company to do. It was just a liberal party spin.
00:07:32.880
It was a hit piece on PolyEv, which is why Katie Telford was so excited about it. By the way, you can see
00:07:38.740
Mickey Jurich's recent work on her LinkedIn page. She just ran a story a couple weeks ago with the
00:07:44.160
opening line, PolyEv falsely claimed people will not be able to see news on the internet under the
00:07:50.320
new law. She was talking about C-18, which of course, PolyEv was actually seeing the exact truth.
00:07:57.120
Facebook and Google are stopping to publish links to Canadian news sites because Trudeau is proposing
00:08:02.480
to tax them for even publishing a link on their websites. It's so obvious. Don't, you know,
00:08:09.420
don't take it from me. Take it from every other media company that's squawking about the mess Trudeau
00:08:12.720
has made with C-18, but Mickey Jurich is a reliable Liberal Party asset. PolyEv is lying. No, it's,
00:08:19.800
he's not. Anyway, just FYI, the Canadian press itself is owned by the Toronto Star, the Globe and
00:08:26.400
Mail, and La Press, three of the largest recipients of Trudeau's bailout money. So it's just as liberal.
00:08:32.480
As they are. So let's finally read the story a bit. I'll, I'll choose the version from CBC's own
00:08:37.720
website, but they're all the same. PolyEv's Conservative Party embracing language of mainstream
00:08:41.780
conspiracy theories. Tory leader's summer stump speeches include ramped up rhetoric about the
00:08:48.040
World Economic Forum. First of all, what is a mainstream conspiracy theory? What, what even is
00:08:52.520
that? Isn't that a contradiction? If you ask me the name, a mainstream conspiracy theory, I, I might say
00:08:57.700
the idea that a carbon tax somehow can make the weather colder or, or something like that, or that
00:09:04.860
men can be women. Um, although that last one is only believed by experts, not by anyone real. Anyways,
00:09:11.300
there's a picture of PolyEv and here's the caption under his photo. Conservative leader Pierre PolyEv
00:09:16.820
speaks at a news conference on Parliament Hill on August 1st. Some of PolyEv's recent speeches have
00:09:21.840
featured ramped up rhetoric around debunked claims that the World Economic Forum is attempting to
00:09:27.820
impose its agenda on sovereign government. Okay, good. I'd, I'd like to know what debunked claims
00:09:34.280
PolyEv mentioned. Um, I mean, we've been promised a conspiracy theory by this story and the tweets and
00:09:40.120
the headlines, and we've been promised that that conspiracy theory is going to be debunked. So,
00:09:43.720
so let's hear it. I'm very curious, aren't you? Conservative leader Pierre PolyEv has been hitting the
00:09:48.860
summer barbecue circuit with ramped up rhetoric around debunked claims that the World Economic
00:09:54.200
Forum is attempting to impose its agenda on sovereign governments. It is, as some experts
00:10:00.240
suggest, another sign that some conspiracy theories are moving from the fringes of the internet to
00:10:05.700
mainstream thinking as people's distrust of government grows. In speeches to conservative
00:10:10.960
supporters across Canada, PolyEv has promised that none of his ministers will attend international
00:10:15.640
organizations' conferences, including the annual meeting typically held in Davos, Switzerland.
00:10:21.360
Okay, hang on. You, you've moved on to what Pierre PolyEv said he's going to do about it,
00:10:25.620
stopping his cabinet ministers from attending the World Economic Forum, but you skipped over the part
00:10:30.180
where you, where you quote him. You know, the part that you sold in your headline and the photo
00:10:34.360
caption. What's the conspiracy theory he said? Give me the words. What did he say? And show me how
00:10:39.360
it's being debunked. Maybe they're just waiting to tell us. Maybe they're saving the best for last.
00:10:44.740
Let's keep reading. It's far past time we rejected the globalist Davos elites and bring home the
00:10:51.120
common sense of the common people, said a Saturday fundraising email. Okay, that's different than a
00:10:56.740
stump speech, isn't it? The Conservative Party also recently sent out mailers with a poll asking people
00:11:03.760
to tell Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who they think the Prime Minister should stand with, working Canadians
00:11:08.840
at the World Economic Forum. Okay, we're pretty deep into the story now, so where's the conspiracy
00:11:14.720
theory part? Davos is the fancy skiing town in Switzerland where the World Economic Forum does meet
00:11:22.340
every January. You might remember that I went there with an intrepid team from Rebel News
00:11:27.520
just in January, and it indeed was full of global elites. We bumped into John Kerry on the street.
00:11:34.140
Secretary Kerry, do you think that the high price of natural gas is actually a helpful thing to get
00:11:41.900
people to transition to a green economy? I'd love to talk about it, but I just can't do it on the...
00:11:48.140
I bumped into Tony Blair, former PM of the UK. My favorite moment was scrumming Pfizer's chief
00:11:54.160
executive officer, Albert Bourla, with my colleague Avi Yamini. I'm not going to show you the whole thing.
00:11:58.780
It was a very exciting video, even though he didn't say a word, really. It's actually our most
00:12:04.460
popular video we've ever published. Remember this? Mr. Bourla, can I ask you, when did you know
00:12:10.300
that the vaccines didn't stop transmission? How long did you know that without saying it publicly?
00:12:17.420
Answer that question. I mean, we now know that the vaccines didn't stop transmission,
00:12:22.420
but why did you keep it secret? You said it was 100% effective, then 90%, then 80%,
00:12:30.420
then 70%. But we now know that the vaccines do not stop transmission. Why did you keep that secret?
00:12:38.600
I won't have a nice day until I know the answer. Why did you keep it a secret that your vaccine
00:12:44.360
did not stop transmission? Yeah, so that's Davos. Of course, it's full of elites. You don't get more
00:12:50.480
elite than the CEO of Pfizer. So where's the conspiracy theory part? I'm still waiting for
00:12:54.760
that. Here, I'll read some more. Maybe it's in the next paragraph. The wording implies Trudeau's
00:13:00.440
cabinet is beholden to the latter, to the World Economic Forum. That's it? That's your conspiracy
00:13:08.780
theory? That Pauliev says, sorry, that he implies that Trudeau listens to the World Economic Forum
00:13:14.960
too much. I mean, isn't that just an opinion? And frankly, quite a reasonable one, given how deeply
00:13:21.820
the liberals are connected to the World Economic Forum. Trudeau goes there all the time to give
00:13:26.780
speeches and to have secret meetings off the record and out of bounds from real journalists.
00:13:32.480
And incredibly, his own deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, literally sits on their board of
00:13:37.540
directors. I don't know how that's even legal. Pauliev implies that the liberals are too deep.
00:13:44.240
Yeah, well, so does the World Economic Forum website. And so does their cartoonish super
00:13:54.620
What we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau,
00:14:01.640
president of Argentina and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets. So yesterday I was at a reception
00:14:11.600
for Prime Minister Trudeau. And I know that half of this cabinet or even more half of this cabinet
00:14:23.380
are for our actually young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
00:14:28.700
Yeah, what a gross, gross man. I hate hearing him say the word penetrate. I'll keep reading the story
00:14:34.880
because surely that can't be the conspiracy theory part. Pauliev did not agree to an interview on the
00:14:40.360
matter. His spokesperson instead pointed the Canadian press to a clip of him at a rally in Penticton,
00:14:45.480
B.C. in July, expressing concerns over the government invading people's personal privacy
00:14:49.520
and financial decisions. There will be no mandatory digital ID in the country and I will ban all of my
00:14:55.820
ministers and top government officials from any involvement in the World Economic Forum,
00:14:59.920
Pauliev said, chuckling as he received lengthy applause for the remark.
00:15:04.000
Okay, so it's all very interesting, but what's the conspiracy theory part that I was promised by the CBC,
00:15:11.100
CTV, City News, CP24, Toronto Star, even the Toronto Sun? I'm still waiting. Maybe it's this next one.
00:15:19.060
Canada has long participated in World Economic Forum events. Former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen
00:15:23.680
Harper and his cabinet ministers attended the summit regularly. Trudeau attended in person in 2016 and
00:15:28.720
2018 and his ministers have attended as well. Liberal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland went to the
00:15:33.780
most recent annual summit in January. Okay, that's very interesting, but again, we're very deep into
00:15:39.680
the story now and I have not yet seen the conspiracy theory part or the debunking part. I don't know,
00:15:45.260
maybe it's this part? On digital IDs, the federal government has been looking at technology to
00:15:49.640
create a national digital identification document to help people access government services. It is not
00:15:55.540
being promoted as something that will become mandatory. Okay, so that's an interesting and worrying thing to
00:16:00.580
watch. We're going to be a lookout for that. I mean, we know that Trudeau has brought in mandatory
00:16:05.340
digital ID before. Remember the Arrive Can app for anyone who dared to travel outside of Canada during
00:16:11.180
the pandemic? Mandatory vaccinations and proof thereof to fly or take the train or ship or cross
00:16:16.700
the border. So we obviously know that Trudeau has, as a matter of historical fact, imposed mandatory
00:16:23.160
digital ID on Canadians already. And he's a bit abusive about it. If you don't want to get
00:16:28.960
vaccinated, that's your choice. But don't think you can get on a plane or a train beside vaccinated
00:16:35.260
people. And now is the time for people who are still resistant to getting vaccinated to realize
00:16:45.120
that that choice, which has consequences on putting our kids at risk, which has consequences
00:16:53.200
at having us risk more lockdowns because they haven't chosen to get vaccinated yet,
00:17:01.380
that there will be consequences for those people in not being able to go to a gym or a restaurant,
00:17:08.760
not being able to go to a movie theater, not being able to get on a train or a plane.
00:17:13.300
A mandatory digital ID isn't something to worry about as a possibility under Trudeau.
00:17:18.820
But I think the next part is the conspiracy theory they mean. It's got to be. Last winter,
00:17:25.520
a conspiracy theory circulating on social media suggested Trudeau was going to require provinces
00:17:31.640
to sign on to digital ID systems for their residents in order to get billions in new health
00:17:36.700
care funding. That conspiracy was also debunked. All right, by the way, we're 500 words into the
00:17:43.060
story already. And this is the closest I've seen to their promise of a conspiracy theory
00:17:49.180
that Polyev has been promoting and that has been debunked, except for, as you can see,
00:17:54.620
it's got nothing to do with Polyev. It's literally a reference to some online meme from a year ago,
00:18:01.080
apparently. And I don't know that meme. I don't know the allegation. They don't show it.
00:18:05.060
It sounds like the journalism, the journalists involved here doesn't know it either.
00:18:08.660
So you'll forgive me for not taking it for granted that it has been debunked if they don't
00:18:12.860
even show it in the first place. I mean, seriously, at this point, would you even trust
00:18:16.300
this reporter if she told you that, oh, I don't know, the sky was blue without checking for
00:18:20.660
yourself? So now they bring in an expert, a political science professor. Forgive me,
00:18:25.420
I'm not sure how that's an expert. His name is Dwayne Bratt. Let me read. Dwayne Bratt,
00:18:29.840
a political science professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary, said some people have long
00:18:34.200
embraced conspiracies, but now they have moved into mainstream politics. The big shift that we
00:18:39.600
have seen is that it is now being promoted by someone who could be prime minister, said Bratt.
00:18:44.300
Polyev peddled the World Economic Forum control claims during the conservative leadership race
00:18:49.860
in 2022, and it has emerged again as a regular talking point following the federal election in
00:18:56.240
southern Manitoba, said Bratt. Okay, could someone please show me, tell me, quote for me,
00:19:02.280
what the conspiracy theory is. I was promised a conspiracy theory, people. I'm deep into the
00:19:08.440
story. Look, I'm not going to read the entire article to you. You can read it for yourself. I
00:19:12.020
did read it. I'm just not going to read it out loud to you. It is quite long, but I am telling
00:19:17.240
you, it never shows you the conspiracy theory that Pierre Polyev has alleged to have promoted.
00:19:23.520
And so obviously it never shows you the debunking of this imaginary conspiracy theory, but imagine
00:19:28.540
being the journalist and her editor who were willing to put a misleading headline and tweet
00:19:33.340
out there that was so obviously done in cooperation with the prime minister's office that they tweeted
00:19:37.800
it out for. That is actual misinformation, to use a Trudeau phrase, isn't it? I'm still waiting
00:19:44.080
for my conspiracy people, and I demand it. I just want to show you one more thing from this
00:19:49.280
story. Kauser Ahmed, a politics professor at the University of Winnipeg with a research specialty
00:19:56.540
in conspiracy theories, said the number and uptake of conspiracy theories began to grow
00:20:01.320
after the 2016 presidential election in the United States, aided by social media and encrypted messaging
00:20:07.020
apps. But Ahmed said the biggest trigger was the COVID-19 pandemic. Okay, so we've got an expert
00:20:12.800
in conspiracy theories, which is very exciting. I didn't know there was such a thing, but I'm glad we have
00:20:18.820
one. And he's talking about COVID-19 in the 2016 U.S. election. But I was promised a conspiracy
00:20:25.220
theory about the World Economic Forum. I was told that Polly was ramping up his rhetoric
00:20:30.940
in a stump speech or even a fundraising letter. That's what the story promised.
00:20:36.940
That's what Katie Telford promised. People, what have we come to if we can't trust Trudeau's right-hand
00:20:42.680
woman or the CBC? What is the state of our country? It's weird how the Canadian press writes a very
00:20:48.620
long story about the World Economic Forum without mentioning that Chrystia Freeland is actually on
00:20:53.180
their board of governors. Isn't that weird? But no weirder than quoting Khauser Ahmed without
00:20:59.720
showing that he's received massive grants from the Trudeau government and that he returned the favor
00:21:06.220
with a series of cash donations right back to the Liberal Party. I'm sure that was just an oversight.
00:21:13.660
What a pack of liars these reporters are. But of course they are. When you take government money,
00:21:20.840
that's what happens to you. The advantage of the Canadian press, as you just saw,
00:21:25.720
is that it just takes one unethical journalist to infect every newspaper in the country that
00:21:30.760
subscribes to it. They really are one big blob, aren't they? Oh, by the way, here's Chrystia Freeland
00:21:36.900
talking about the World Economic Forum when she was a reporter a few years back. This is a great
00:21:42.440
National Post column about it by Rupa Subramania that quotes from Freeland's own book called
00:21:47.860
Plutocrats. It was an awful book. I read it about 10 years ago and it's basically Freeland traveling
00:21:53.260
around on private jets sucking up to all these billionaires while pretending to hold them to
00:21:57.540
account. Sort of the perfect person for Trudeau's government, isn't she? By the way, Freeland was
00:22:02.160
George Soros' official biographer when she first ran for parliament, as in she wasn't a real journalist
00:22:07.260
at all. She was hired to puff him up and fluff him up. Here's an excerpt from her book as quoted
00:22:12.840
by Rupa Subramania. Often a big intrusive state is the plutocrat's best friend. Some farsighted
00:22:20.520
plutocrats try to use their money not merely to buy public office for themselves, but to redirect the
00:22:25.640
reigning ideology of a nation, a region, or even the world. Yeah, so I think it's fair to say
00:22:32.320
every single thing Pierre Polyev has said about the World Economic Forum is true. And the only
00:22:39.480
conspiracy here is the corruption of so many pretend independent news companies to make them
00:22:46.160
all regurgitate the same poorly written, poorly researched wire story whose headline is an unethical
00:22:53.460
lie. Misinformation, in fact, as they say. Stay with us for more.
00:22:59.580
Welcome back. Well, you might remember about a week or so ago, I went to Portland, Oregon,
00:23:16.820
the first time I'd ever been to that city. It's a gorgeous city, although it has a terrible crime
00:23:22.660
problem, homelessness problem. But I think one of the most dangerous feelings in that city
00:23:28.280
is the street crime of a political nature. Antifa, the so-called anti-fascists who are quite fascist
00:23:35.700
in their own conduct, they rule the streets. I was in that town because Andy Ngo, an independent
00:23:42.420
journalist who was beaten and nearly killed by Antifa, managed to identify some of the Antifa thugs
00:23:49.440
who attacked him. They were actually captured on closed circuit TV. And incredibly, one of them
00:23:56.280
even videotaped her attacks on Andy Ngo. It was all there. And I sat in the courthouse as the evidence
00:24:02.960
was played for the jury. And as Andy Ngo testified in great detail, it was shocking. And I felt like I
00:24:09.180
was in a kind of mafia trial because Antifa had packed the court and were clearly menacing the jurors.
00:24:15.760
In fact, at one point, one of the lawyers for Antifa said to the jurors,
00:24:20.380
I'll remember your faces. How is that not a threat? Well, it worked incredibly. Despite the video evidence,
00:24:27.840
the incontrovertible evidence, the jury dismissed the suit. Antifa runs Portland.
00:24:38.220
Well, good thing we don't live there, right? Well, here's the bad news. Antifa is putting down roots
00:24:43.480
in Canada, too. They're strong in certain cities, Ottawa, Toronto, and especially Montreal.
00:24:52.020
And joining us now in studio is our Montreal-based correspondent, our friend Alexa Lavoie,
00:24:57.500
to talk about what she saw when she encountered Antifa and a few other protests she's been to lately.
00:25:04.260
Alexa, great to see you. Welcome to our world headquarters here. Nice to see you in person.
00:25:09.880
Well, I wanted to tell that story because what I saw in Portland was what happens when neither the police
00:25:16.200
nor the media nor the prosecutors nor the juries nor the judges will stand up to Antifa.
00:25:22.240
Antifa runs Portland. It's actually terrifying. Can you tell us about Antifa in Montreal?
00:25:29.140
We have a video clip. Set it up a little bit and then we'll watch the video.
00:25:33.220
Yeah, it was the 5th of August. I was currently at a Canada place. So it's the part where the statue of John A. Macdonald,
00:25:44.940
who was toppled two years ago. And the trans march was starting at this place. And afterwards,
00:25:53.140
they were going to take a march to Place Dupuis. So we went there, me and Guillaume Roy, my camera videographer,
00:26:02.740
to just interview people about, I think, a really important topic. And it's especially important to have not only the take on one side,
00:26:12.320
but both sides, so we can actually understand more the vision of the people.
00:26:19.280
So this was a trans, a transgender march, but they were Antifa at the transgender march?
00:26:25.680
OK, well, let's take a look together at what happened.
00:26:34.520
Moi, je suis une fière femme. Et bien de ces gens-là aimeraient bien que j'enlève ma moustache. Pourquoi?
00:26:43.480
Je pense que c'est dans ton intérêt de partir, malheureusement.
00:26:50.760
Bonjour, c'est pour les fachos. Attention dans l'humanisme. Votre année pour les fachos.
00:26:56.280
Faites votre travail, puis invitez de me filmer, s'il vous plaît, puis de prendre...
00:27:01.840
On est au Canada. J'ai le droit de... Vous n'avez pas le droit de me toucher, puis de me pousser.
00:27:06.660
Mettez pas le micro comme ça proche de moi. Respectez la distance aussi avec vous.
00:27:10.640
Excellent. Fait que vous êtes avisés. On vous demande d'aller plus loin.
00:27:13.860
Pourquoi vous n'avez pas agi la première fois que je suis venue vous voir pour le harcèlement qu'on subissait?
00:27:19.700
Hey, écoutez, bien, monsieur, je pense que j'ai dans mon droit de vous poser des questions, hein?
00:27:31.840
Publicity. And you gave them publicity. You pointed at them. You didn't maliciously edit it.
00:27:36.960
I mean, listen, they said such unusual things. Why would we edit it? We want to show our people.
00:27:41.940
But then they got a little violent, a little pushy and shovey, and they do that move with the umbrellas
00:27:46.580
to block people from witnessing if they punch or, God forbid, even stab you.
00:27:51.500
And the most incredible part, there were sort of three scenes there, wasn't it?
00:27:55.360
The first scene was the trans people just talking about their ideas.
00:27:59.560
The second was the Antifa getting a little violent, but the third was the most disappointing.
00:28:04.820
That was a police officer at the end, wasn't it?
00:28:08.460
Threatening you. Back off or I don't know what the or else was.
00:28:11.900
And then he ran away from you. Instead of protecting you, he was threatening you.
00:28:19.180
I was like, okay, I'm going to go there. I'm going to interview some people.
00:28:24.200
If some individual come to me and start to harass or causing trouble or confrontation,
00:28:30.060
I'm going to go straight to the police, warn them that something is happening.
00:28:36.020
If they can actually talk with these people and make sure that I am in a safe space,
00:28:42.680
that I just question the people, they are free to answer to me.
00:28:47.980
I'm just here to ask questions, ask what media do.
00:28:52.680
And I went there, I talked with the police officer.
00:28:56.500
They say that they will keep an eye on them, that I'm free to ask questions
00:29:04.460
And when I came back and said, can you please do something?
00:29:14.700
The pink block, I don't know if you've ever heard about the pink block.
00:29:22.580
So it's the queer people that are anarchists, but they are also in the movement of probably anti-fascists.
00:29:37.960
They say that we were intimidating people there.
00:29:41.200
But I say, but people were really open to talk to me.
00:29:46.360
I do not think you've ever shown yourself to be intimidating.
00:29:53.280
But it seems that the Antifa movement, the anarchist movement, the left movement have ejected the community people.
00:30:02.980
Because when I was reading on their website, they warned people, do not talk to media.
00:30:10.080
Refer them to the people in charge of the protest or the march.
00:30:14.100
They say they ban rebel news and all the right-wing media, as they call it, because they say that we should not welcome them.
00:30:24.660
But that just showed the intolerance and the fact that they do discrimination for media.
00:30:31.120
And they just welcome the media who are on their side.
00:30:35.940
But by the way, I think that the way we report on these protests is very fair.
00:30:49.400
There's no reason why they shouldn't talk to you.
00:30:53.380
We do not alter or manipulate our coverage of it.
00:31:01.140
We have not done anything that would cause them to ban us.
00:31:05.300
I don't know how you can ban a journalist from a public place other than through threats of violence.
00:31:10.420
And that's what's disappointing about the police.
00:31:13.760
Listen, I want to make sure that going forward, if you go to events like this, that we have private security for you also.
00:31:22.900
Any citizen should think, well, I'm safe because there's so many cops.
00:31:31.960
I didn't have some because I was, first of all, going with really a good mood, open mind.
00:31:41.820
And as you cannot see on the video, I was talking with one of the spokespersons for Quebec Solidaire.
00:31:50.420
That's right. I recognized her. And she's always been friendly to you.
00:31:54.460
I think on election night, she did an interview or during the campaign.
00:31:59.500
And she's very left-wing, but she at least believes in dialogue.
00:32:02.720
Exactly. And every single person from the left should take her example.
00:32:13.520
And I'm not saying our viewers are going to suddenly become hardcore leftists and support her.
00:32:20.420
And I think it's in the public interest that people see the other side of the story from the people who are more leftists.
00:32:29.100
In the park, I'm not even sure that everybody is from the left.
00:32:32.880
I'm thinking that most of them are not really politically involved.
00:32:36.020
Well, listen, it made sense to go to that event.
00:32:46.720
But in the future, and I'm not criticizing you.
00:32:50.040
I'm just saying let's get security to come with you because this is more proof that the police are becoming a little bit more like the police in Portland.
00:33:05.480
If you go to a public thing like that, let's bring a private security guard for you also because the thing about Antifa, they don't have the same compunction about hitting a woman or hitting someone smaller than them.
00:33:18.560
And just to make me feel safer, it's for me, and so I feel calmer.
00:33:27.840
But just going forward, let's get you more protection.
00:33:29.800
I'm worried because if they've got your name on a website, don't talk to Rebel News, they're obviously watching out for you.
00:33:36.420
And I want to make sure that you're never in trying.
00:33:38.720
Guillaume is there, our cameraman, but he's looking through his camera, and maybe he doesn't see someone coming.
00:33:45.200
But that is a factor that Rebel News has to deal with because we, our people, are pushed around more than any other because we tell the truth.
00:33:54.400
Why don't you introduce the next video clip, and we'll show our viewers.
00:34:01.320
So it's supposed to be a really family-friendly event.
00:34:04.520
So I went there, and I noticed that CBC was in the parade, and a lot of state organization, company, corporation.
00:34:17.220
There was also the famous fetish pet play, I don't know how to call them.
00:34:36.600
It's just so in here, welcome to your world in 2023.
00:34:40.680
I'm a man that dresses up like a woman a few times a year.
00:34:44.080
So, do you find that the Pride Parade is a family-friendly event?
00:34:54.680
It depends on how, like, sexually explicit the performers are during the dances and the shows.
00:35:08.560
So I think I'm just representing that within the parade.
00:35:11.540
Since when you started to identify yourself as a pet?
00:35:20.000
But this sort of thing, middle of the afternoon, the parade, I think it's a great educational experience for kids, and bring it on.
00:36:19.900
that's more than just a few like that's a lot now i'm not implying that you're an expert on
00:36:26.780
this i just do they pretend do they think they're dogs or is it just like a you is it just like
00:36:31.780
dressing up as a cop or dressing up like i remember in the there was a band about 40 years
00:36:36.900
ago called the village people they sang the song ymca and one of them dressed as a cop and one
00:36:42.400
dressed as a an indian and one dressed i forget what they dressed up as but it was like just a
00:36:47.420
costume like halloween is this just a costume or do these people actually identify as a dog is this
00:36:53.160
part of their sexual gender identity i am a dog i think there is both so there is some people who
00:37:01.440
like to play pet play that they say don't you have like the person who are submissive and the person
00:37:07.660
who are dominant so this is actually a sexual fetishism um there is i saw myself a woman that
00:37:16.020
say that since 15 years she identified herself as a cat so um i think you have both in this
00:37:23.520
that i would call it a whole world oh my god you know what it's i shouldn't laugh because i know in
00:37:30.820
the city of toronto there are schools where children where school children identifies cats
00:37:35.580
and they put kitty litter in the bathrooms i just it's madness i think you have one more video
00:37:43.560
because you saw some political leaders there let's take a quick look at this last video
00:37:47.120
well every progressive politician um is in the gay pride parade i'm sure uh it wouldn't surprise me
00:38:12.700
you know justin trudeau was there or or did he miss it no it was a stephen gilbo and melanie jolly
00:38:18.360
that were there for marching and of course jagmeet singh um i'm surprised jagmeet singh removed his really
00:38:25.900
expensive watch and uh he didn't wear like his really expensive suit did he have a seek bracelet on
00:38:31.760
i didn't see any uh bracelet or anything it's very very interesting and um let me ask you one last question
00:38:39.620
about that parade pride parade in some gay pride parades across canada police march with the
00:38:45.520
protest in some police protect the protest in others police are banned from the protest were police
00:38:53.780
banned from this one do you know i know that there was some people who were wearing some sign against
00:39:02.020
the police right i saw uh i saw some security who were protecting people for not going in the middle
00:39:11.780
of the path right um but i didn't see that much crap i saw that there was a lot of cup but they were in
00:39:19.620
the metro they were in the street right they were but not that much inside okay i'm just curious because
00:39:26.980
in some cities i think vancouver for example they banned police which is certainly not very inclusive
00:39:33.620
or very tolerant we live in the strangest of days those dog uniforms i i'm just curious but i don't
00:39:41.100
think i'm gonna look into it i think i've had enough drama for the day listen alexa it's great to see you
00:39:46.800
stay safe out there you're in a city with a little bit of wackiness in it and um staying safe is very
00:39:54.220
important to us because people even though we don't provoke it and we don't deserve it sometimes
00:40:00.340
they hit out at us because we have a different point of view that used to be called diversity
00:40:04.920
but it's not allowed so i want i want you to be safe and i know you will be in and uh with guillaume
00:40:10.440
and uh when you need to let's have a bodyguard with you out there it's great to see in person
00:40:15.020
great to see you all right there you have it alexa lavoie our chief quebec correspondent stay with us
00:40:20.580
your letters to me next hey welcome back your letters to me joseph pk writes about my interview
00:40:38.300
with tamir leach and before i even read them let me confess that i watched the interview and i'm sort
00:40:43.540
of embarrassed that i not that i was gushing or a fanboy i i'm not embarrassed by that i talk too much
00:40:49.580
i think it's i wanted to say all these things too i really haven't had a heart-to-heart with her like
00:40:53.680
that in a while and so i watched the interview and i sort of was wishing i had said less and given her
00:40:59.140
more time to talk uh so i apologize for that i i think i was just truly emotionally um carried away
00:41:06.360
i really admire her and i should tell you having spent some time with her she's exactly the same
00:41:12.040
in private as she is in public and it's been a pleasure working with her all right let me read the
00:41:17.120
letters joseph pk says she's sitting with a man that fought for her right to publish a book that
00:41:22.860
speaks against the liberal narrative he's sitting with a woman that's fighting for your right to
00:41:26.420
redress your grievances with your government without being jailed as a political prisoner
00:41:29.540
both these people are modern day history in the making and we should all owe them a debt of
00:41:35.360
gratitude for their courage and perseverance in the face of tyranny let the law do its work
00:41:39.120
without political interference and canada has a chance of remaining in democracy well thank you very much
00:41:45.240
for the flattery towards me i i think um i appreciate what you're saying but i want i want
00:41:51.540
to acknowledge that whatever strength i have it comes from our viewers because we're crowdfunding
00:41:56.460
the legal defense we're crowdfunding and we're sending the dough via the democracy fund which pays
00:42:01.200
for it so really i'm just the organizers the donors are the heroes on our side but tamera is definitely
00:42:07.320
the one who suffered she was the one who's thrown in prison she was the one who never blinked
00:42:12.240
she said they offered her plea deals to make it go away and she said never she wants to be acquitted
00:42:17.580
and vindicated and i want that for her too alex greer says congratulations to sheila and the staff
00:42:24.640
at rebel news for producing the church under fire documentary i was at the showing at the church of
00:42:29.380
the vine and tamera leach was there too this documentary is chilling and it's quite a wake-up call
00:42:33.700
especially for those of us the older generations who remember canada as a christian country
00:42:38.240
that is a very scary movie i've had the pleasure of watching it a number of times and i say pleasure
00:42:45.960
it's actually not pleasant because i get furious as it's very well done documenting one of the best
00:42:52.940
things we ever made but i leave that movie filled with a sense that justice is not yet being served
00:42:59.920
not happy gilmore says i'm not religious but i'm angry at the treatment of the people in this country
00:43:05.820
i'm also a former liberal and federal employee thank you ezra and sheila for your great work go
00:43:10.800
polyev you know what i i think you're where i am i'm not christian myself i'm jewish i have an
00:43:16.520
admiration for christians and there's two scenes in that movie when you see police go into a church
00:43:23.800
during a service with firearms on that is actually there's three scenes of that that's so un-canadian
00:43:32.640
and i don't mean to be dramatic but all i can think of when i see that is sort of nazis going into
00:43:39.400
jewish buildings or synagogues during the holocaust even if it's just in a reenactment like the movie
00:43:46.080
schindler's list you know when you see heavily armed stormtroopers one of the cops in the church in
00:43:53.780
new brunswick had a hand on a firearm why are you going into a church a crowded church with your
00:44:00.360
hand on your firearm why are you in there at all during a service let alone with a gun let alone
00:44:05.360
with your hand on your gun who are you going to shoot there's so much justice that has not yet
00:44:11.260
been done it's our show for today until tomorrow on behalf of all of us here at rebel world headquarters
00:44:17.300
to you at home good night and keep fighting for freedom
