tonight what do you know about who Trudeau is putting in charge of the emergency crackdown
00:00:21.200
the first of a two-part show it's february 17th and this is the answer the band show
00:00:25.880
why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer i know
00:00:31.640
there's 8 500 customers here and you won't give them an answer
00:00:35.480
the only thing i have to say to the government about publishing is because it's my bloody right
00:00:41.800
don't forget that Trudeau does not actually have the horsepower to bring in the emergencies act
00:00:53.320
and suspend civil liberties law not as the leader of a minority government he needs someone to prop
00:00:59.820
him up the conservatives now that they have fired that footnote in history erin o'toole
00:01:05.960
they have started to come to their senses started to act like a conservative opposition they are
00:01:12.260
opposing this suspension of civil liberties i bet erin o'toole would have supported it we'll never
00:01:17.520
know and who cares i doubt i will ever have to say the name erin o'toole again other than accept as
00:01:24.980
an answer to a trivia question or an example of how things ought not to be done if you want to be a
00:01:30.460
conservative politician the bloc quebecois is against the emergency act too as is the provincial
00:01:36.520
government of quebec for a number of reasons including that it is such an obvious power grab by a
00:01:43.220
tyrannical prime minister in the federal government that has screwed up everything that it touches
00:01:48.980
imagine giving them more power here's the bloc the nature of the the intervention of the federal
00:01:57.360
government in this situation is more political than a matter of safety and security of the people of
00:02:06.240
ottawa which seems to be the only place where the situation is still hot and dangerous uh and
00:02:14.520
because the history of quebec is what it is it is absolutely clear that uh and doing so carrying the
00:02:22.320
idea also conveyed by uh the assembly national du quebec unanimously the the bloc quebecois will vote
00:02:29.780
against that measure but jagmeet singh of the ndp the workers party the party of blue collar guys the
00:02:37.440
party of truckers and men who get up before dawn and work into the night he hates the truckers that's
00:02:44.280
what he says he thinks they're nazis just like trudeau does in fact i bet they have the same speech
00:02:49.860
writer perhaps it's gerald butts when you go too far as ceochescu learned people turn against you
00:02:57.100
it was just a few days ago that a guy called jagmeet singh he's the leader of canada supposedly pro worker
00:03:03.300
ndp party smeared the truckers as racist of course quote those that claim the superiority of the white
00:03:10.560
bloodline what a pig it's always the same lie but yesterday even jagmeet singh finally realized the
00:03:18.620
same old slander doesn't work anymore so he went to plan b he went for a federal plan to quote exit the
00:03:25.900
pandemic in other words he caved in the face of principled human rights protests that's how that
00:03:31.580
works yeah no they're not racist mate in fact uh a lot of them are sikh like you hello my name is
00:03:39.100
and i'm came from orangeville we are here because of that what's the government telling us why they're
00:03:45.820
telling me what to do i have i need my freedom so we're here for freedom and i'm also trucker i'm
00:03:50.880
trucking for 17 years and i need to know i know what i need to do so that's what we're we stand for
00:03:56.720
we're not like part of another people and i love canada i live here jagmeet singh why is he the leader
00:04:04.020
of the ndp the ndp comes from the ccf party long time ago comes from two movements that merge farmers
00:04:12.740
particularly in the west and factory workers blue collar both both sides of that tommy douglas stuff
00:04:20.740
folksy populace angry a bit but compassionate too if that's your kind of thing so so how does jagmeet
00:04:27.940
singh fit in with that is he from the factory worker side is he from the the farming side now the
00:04:34.640
only animal singh knows anything about is being a clothes horse he dresses only in the finest
00:04:41.040
personally tailored suits suits that cost about 5 000 bucks each fancy cars bmws luxury vacations and
00:04:49.740
i'm not anti-wealth but it's so weird he's really an instagram influencer more than a policy man he poses
00:04:57.260
for these luxury pictures hey pop quiz tell me something jagmeet singh has ever said about an idea
00:05:07.340
a policy a law something that you remember not that you agree with just can you even remember hearing
00:05:16.000
him say anything that wasn't air if you can you're better than me i can't imagine putting that man in
00:05:24.580
charge of the workers and farmers party of tommy douglas there's nothing underneath the fancy suit
00:05:31.280
and so it's no surprise that jagmeet singh who stands for nothing well he'll fall for anything
00:05:38.020
he's clueless he's more vapid than trudeau if it's even possible he's more easily manipulated
00:05:44.240
i think he's terrified of another election if he doesn't support trudeau i mean
00:05:48.000
just 10 years ago the ndp had 100 seats in parliament and now has 25 it's a rump but at
00:05:56.860
least he's the king of the rump and so of course he's going to do whatever justin trudeau tells him
00:06:01.940
to do to stay part of this coalition of power and frankly the modern left isn't about farmers or
00:06:08.920
workers anymore hasn't been for a while it's about censorship and being woke and you saw him
00:06:14.900
trying to denounce workers and cancel them of course jagmeet singh supports the suspension of
00:06:21.060
civil liberties especially for the working class i mean they're the least woke people in any country
00:06:27.460
singh hates them the most i mean you don't see them in fine fine tailored suits do you
00:06:33.900
so jagmeet singh is propping up justin trudeau who is violating civil liberties in a way never seen
00:06:41.780
in canada before so much so that the canadian civil liberties association which has been
00:06:46.480
hibernating for two years finally woke up i can't believe that and they announced they're actually
00:06:52.860
going to sue the government to try and stop this madness here's the press conference they had today
00:06:58.980
this week the federal government invoked the emergencies act an extreme law that has never been used
00:07:06.020
and it announced two emergency orders that will have sweeping consequences on individuals orders
00:07:12.740
that it passed outside of ordinary democratic processes the canadian civil liberties association
00:07:19.460
has spoken out loudly against this declaration and today we have our own announcement we are taking
00:07:26.260
the government of canada to court we are here today because of the government's response to the
00:07:32.660
protests and blockades the government's emergency declaration is unprecedented and seriously infringes
00:07:39.940
the charter rights of canadians the government has brought in an extreme measure that should be
00:07:45.780
reserved for national emergencies a legal standard that has not been met emergency powers cannot and must
00:07:54.420
not be normalized for all the peaceful and disruptive protests in canada's history some involving unlawful acts
00:08:06.900
and protected standoffs with police never before has a government declared a national emergency under the
00:08:13.780
emergencies act and with that given itself the enormous powers to bypass the ordinary accountable democratic process
00:08:21.620
our commitment to equality and other rights is the reason that we strongly support the charter right to peaceful assembly
00:08:30.180
this is how marginalized people can stand up for their rights we plan to file a notice of application
00:08:36.580
for judicial review seeking a declaration that the emergency order and in the emergency order the measures and
00:08:44.260
the orders promulgated under it are not consistent with the emergencies act
00:08:49.620
this is the first time that a government has relied on the emergencies act it is important from a rule of
00:08:56.580
law perspective for the courts to scrutinize these actions and ensure that they are consistent with
00:09:02.820
the purpose of the legislation and that the government does not overreach or infringe on the charter rights of
00:09:10.340
canadians thank you by the way the lawyer leading the battle is ava krajevska bizarrely coincidentally she was
00:09:19.380
justin trudeau's lawyer against rebel news in both the 2019 and 2021 election commission debates when they banned
00:09:29.700
our reporters and we had to run to federal court to exercise our civil rights krajevska was trudeau's
00:09:36.740
lead lawyer trying to stop us we beat her twice thank god i don't know maybe she's sick of working for
00:09:45.140
a tyrant no matter how much he paid her she's the one leading the charge against trudeau now i i guess she
00:09:53.300
knows how he thinks how he operates maybe she has some insight in how to beat him very interesting to me
00:10:00.100
here's what old-timer ndp member parliament sven robinson has saved up the whole thing you might
00:10:07.300
remember svend he's a real civil liberties leftist first openly gay mp real vancouver hippie but also
00:10:16.020
with a penchant for the finer things including fancy jewelry if you remember that story but
00:10:22.020
he just can't stomach what jagmeet singh is doing look at these comments he made today
00:10:26.660
on twitter in reaction to the civil liberties association he said the ndp caucus in 1970 under
00:10:32.340
tommy douglas took a courageous and principled stand against the war measures act i didn't i
00:10:38.580
didn't know that today's ndp under jagmeet singh betrays that legacy and supports liberals on the
00:10:45.220
emergencies act shame a very dangerous precedent is being set whoa svend and then he had a follow-up
00:10:53.300
he said this he said i was in the house during the 1988 debate on the act when we were promised
00:10:58.980
that emergency powers can only be used when the situation is so drastic that no other law of canada
00:11:06.020
can deal with the situation that test has not been met ndp can stop this will they wow
00:11:16.100
give the guy credit my question is who will stand with sven robinson strangely i will i don't know
00:11:23.780
if i would have expected that but i'm not an ndp-er so it doesn't really count does it what about
00:11:29.460
true civil libertarians on the left are there are there any of them still out there are they all fine
00:11:34.980
with this bonfire of our liberties i remind you there have been three righteous men in the liberal
00:11:42.660
party who had the courage to stand up to justin trudeau who would have thought and actually i don't
00:11:48.020
think they were kicked out of the liberal party i think trudeau is more scared than he lets on and if he
00:11:52.740
would have kicked them out maybe more would have followed so if liberals the least principled
00:11:58.580
species of politician in the country can show courage at least three of them cannot a single
00:12:05.380
ndp-er stand against this not one spend has broken the ice you can follow him now not one cares about
00:12:11.620
civil liberties or even just standing with working people just out of class solidarity not one
00:12:15.380
and it's not just the bad justification for the bad plan of action it's who the liberals are putting
00:12:24.260
in charge of it who is justin trudeau deputizing to lead his paramilitary action against the truckers
00:12:34.260
and that's what it is that's what the emergencies act contemplates who is the man of action who will
00:12:39.700
finally do something rather than just have cops wandering around handing out brochures as they've
00:12:45.780
been doing in recent days who will knock some skulls who will arrest men and women and children
00:12:52.740
if need be who will jail civilians who will pull men out of their cabs with brute force who will use tear
00:13:01.860
gas on civilians who will be as violent as necessary to get things done who will kill
00:13:16.340
well who's canada's dirtiest ex-cop someone so disgraced that the city in which he used to
00:13:23.940
police had to pay out millions of dollars to his victims in the worst policing abuse in modern canadian
00:13:36.180
who knows the awful things to do and who has the amorality the immorality the lack of human conscience
00:13:43.860
to allow him to do it and make him order other police to be immoral as well who will strip search
00:13:49.700
women to humiliate them in the streets he did that who will physically attack the men who will kettle
00:13:57.140
innocent bystanders in the cage who is the sociopath who will give justin trudeau the blood that he wants
00:14:08.580
his name is bill blair the disgraced dirty ex-cop who ran toronto's police during the g20
00:14:20.420
but you may know him by a different title he's trudeau's minister in charge of emergency preparedness he is
00:14:28.900
the one who has the cold blood needed to do whatever violence trudeau and gerald butts wants tomorrow i'll
00:14:37.780
tell you what he did during the g20 a disgraceful act that disqualifies him from working anywhere else
00:14:52.260
welcome back well one of the things that gives me such a sense of pride and accomplishment and satisfaction
00:15:10.260
as rebel news enters our eighth year and i hope you feel it too as a viewer and as a supporter
00:15:17.140
is to see the bountiful crop of young journalists we have from coast to coast there have been days where
00:15:23.060
we have had reporters in nine or even ten cities covering the stories on the ground and not only does
00:15:30.180
that give us more accurate information i think it allows us to rebut the sneering smears by the media
00:15:36.260
party many of whom have never actually gone down to meet a protester it's easier to call someone
00:15:42.260
violent or a nazi even if you never have to see them with your eyes and watch them react to your
00:15:49.540
smears i'm so proud of our journalists and one of our rising stars in fact the winner of the 2021 rebbe award
00:15:57.780
for being an ambassador to the province of quebec is our next guest her name of course is alexa
00:16:02.420
lavois and she has been on the ground in ottawa for more than a week joining us now is alexa alexa
00:16:09.380
great to see you my friend thanks for doing the hard work of shoe leather journalism do you know what
00:16:14.660
i mean by that just walking around and showing the world the way it is yeah i and and it's important
00:16:22.420
because it's not the mainstream media that we show you uh the real side of the story that we are
00:16:28.660
seeing here it's so amazing what we are seeing here it's actually the opposite of what we heard so far
00:16:36.260
from the mainstream now you do your reports in english and french my command of french is very weak
00:16:43.540
but i see the work you're doing on francais we have an interpreter who covers off whichever language
00:16:49.860
you're not operating in at that moment can you tell us um what kind of reaction uh do quebecers show
00:16:58.180
towards the camioners if i'm saying truckers correctly on francais um have they had a positive effect
00:17:05.540
in quebec as well yeah so you need to understand that right now um in ottawa uh the percentage of
00:17:14.580
the french speaker are almost uh half of the people that are here so the supporter from uh the province
00:17:22.260
of quebec but not only province of quebec because from other province they speak french as well
00:17:28.260
um it's a it's a really big uh percentage and uh they have a lot of support from the french side
00:17:36.420
and i know that the one that cannot be in ottawa they are doing some uh convoy as well in quebec
00:17:45.300
city uh what we saw two weeks uh two weeks ago when i was there thank you well i'm going to ask you a
00:17:52.100
little bit more about what things are like on the streets of ottawa but first i want to talk about a
00:17:57.300
press conference you covered earlier today here i'm going to play a quick clip from the press
00:18:03.140
conference and then i'll come back to you to talk about it i want to start with the emergencies act
00:18:07.780
itself it is as you probably know a federal statute an ordinary federal statute that already existed
00:18:16.420
has existed since 1988 it provides the the framework for a government to invoke as
00:18:27.060
as long as as long as the requirements in the statute are met and if those requirements are not met
00:18:37.300
then nothing else works nothing else is valid in other words the government cannot act in this way
00:18:43.140
unless it has statutory authority right so that's the first point second point is this
00:18:49.540
the emergencies act provides for four different kinds of emergencies
00:18:57.860
public welfare public order international and war now on this occasion if you look at the proclamation
00:19:10.020
the declaration that the government has brought forward they have chosen
00:19:14.980
a public order emergency so the other three are now out we're talking about a public order emergency as
00:19:25.220
defined in the act so let's look at the definition and the words as is always the case when you're
00:19:34.180
dealing with law the words matter the words matter they define the line between lawful and unlawful so here's
00:19:43.140
the definition of a public order emergency it means an emergency that arises from threats to the security
00:19:56.180
of canada that is so serious as to be a national emergency
00:20:03.300
okay now as is so often the case in statutes you have definitions that have terms that are themselves defined
00:20:14.260
so one of the requirements of meeting this threshold for a public order emergency
00:20:20.660
is to have a national emergency what does national emergency mean in the statute it means this
00:20:28.500
it means an urgent and critical situation of a temporary nature that is either a or b and here's a and i'll tell you b a is this
00:20:39.380
a it seriously endangers the lives health or safety of canadians and is of such proportions
00:20:47.940
as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with that's a b is seriously threatens
00:21:00.820
the ability of the government to preserve the sovereignty security and territorial integrity now
00:21:07.620
let's do the two choices it's got to be a or b and in this case i'll get to in a minute the government
00:21:12.820
has chosen a so forget b and the final bit of that definition is and that cannot be effectively dealt
00:21:22.340
with under any other law of canada okay so we're racking up requirements here well alexa tell us a
00:21:30.260
little bit so who was there at the press conference um what were they saying and uh why uh why is it
00:21:39.060
important to hear what they were saying so um the um it was a lot of illegal experts uh as well as a truck
00:21:50.180
driver as well as uh other uh people who work in uh legal field they were talking about the emergencies act
00:21:57.940
that justin trudeau have invoked but now the he don't have the um department uh agreement still on it so
00:22:08.340
uh what they were saying is talking about the legal advice uh from lawyer and as well as you know some
00:22:16.260
of the people right now have their bank account frozen uh because of these emergencies act so we
00:22:23.540
were discussing about uh that and they um they actually talk about a lot of uh legal uh side of
00:22:32.260
what is going on with uh all the decisions taken by the government of mr uh justin trudeau well i'm
00:22:40.020
really grateful that you were there to cover it and we'll put a link underneath underneath this video
00:22:45.700
if people want to watch the whole thing we just played a small snippet of it there now i understand
00:22:51.940
now i know some of the people who were there david amber uh one of the lawyers he works for the
00:22:57.220
democracy fund which is the charity that we like to support uh bruce party i've had the pleasure of
00:23:03.780
talking with him he's a very powerful thinker about freedom in canada so those were really
00:23:09.220
that's a really good panel i understand that the mainstream media didn't really want to report they
00:23:17.220
came more to attack or heckle can you tell me what happened i i only heard this secondhand what what
00:23:22.340
actually happened in the room so today no mainstream media was present but i was at a press conference
00:23:31.940
yesterday um they it was a retired rcmp opp officer that was talking against what is going on right now
00:23:44.660
and so the new york time reporter started to yell a question not even well before they finish their
00:23:54.260
press conference so they needed to write the to wrap up again the press conference out so we finished the
00:24:02.980
press conference outside with only independent journalists because the mainstream media was not
00:24:08.180
able to wait that time to talk they just yell that question instead well you know it doesn't surprise
00:24:16.900
me um i i think that some of the mainstream media journalists some of them are curious to hear what
00:24:23.380
the truckers and their allies have to say but i think most of them are there to attack and frankly i'm
00:24:29.140
so glad that rebel news has been reporting this first for at least a week or two before the mainstream
00:24:36.260
media from the united states arrived because i think enough of the truth got out that people have a
00:24:43.060
accurate impression if they've been watching rebel news and some of our talent i know you've been on
00:24:47.780
different shows uh even in america and i think that's very exciting um i think the new york times and other
00:24:55.460
left-wing journalists who are flying up there right now they're coming to do damage controls so to speak
00:25:01.300
to spin things for the government so i'm glad we were there first let's get to what's going on on
00:25:06.580
the street i can see behind you uh a big truck with the canadian flag on its bumper um and and i don't
00:25:15.140
know if we can pan the camera around is it possible just to swing the camera around a little bit i don't
00:25:21.300
want to disrupt the the oh so there's a few trucks so okay good thank you i have a better view now so um
00:25:28.660
looks like the whole road is blocked there um but there is other traffic i see going by uh what's
00:25:35.620
it like on the ground so um since uh just before the emergencies act um the organizer
00:25:44.580
have talked with the truck driver to agree to move all the truck in uh wellington street and really
00:25:51.540
specific street so as you can see behind me it's really condensed uh truck online and uh so it's
00:26:00.820
funny because afterwards they invoke the emergency hack when we can see that um the organizers are
00:26:08.500
complying to their demand um so this morning i was on the field at 6 00 a.m and uh since uh 5 00 a.m uh
00:26:17.540
the construction workers were are built up a fence all around the parliament but fun fact they have
00:26:25.780
already a fence around the parliament but he built one upper that the other one and when i asked the
00:26:33.300
police officer they say that is for the safety of the people i don't see why is the safety on that
00:26:39.940
and as well they build a fence around the senate of canada building and uh and this morning because
00:26:49.380
yesterday they gave a notice of a warning to everybody who had a truck or protestor supporter
00:26:56.740
to move their car and their truck from the street and if they don't agree they are subject to be arrested
00:27:04.420
for taking part to illegal action but this morning they came back with another notice this time a red
00:27:12.020
paper to say um this is a final notice if you're not moving your car you're facing uh
00:27:26.660
you you're actually breaking the law and you will be arrested uh for stopping the truck traffic stopping the
00:27:33.780
uh blocking the road and uh stopping uh people to go and work in their shop and open the businesses
00:27:43.220
uh that's incredible you know what i i don't know how serious to take these threats because of course
00:27:50.180
they already handed out a notice on blue paper i don't know blue paper red paper and the emergencies
00:27:55.780
act was declared and you know ontario already declared an emergency earlier and you know the
00:28:03.380
ottawa police have all sorts of i just don't know if they're trying to scare people away or if it's
00:28:08.340
for real i just want to correct myself i i had said a moment ago that the entire street behind you was
00:28:13.780
blocked but i see now that there is actually one lane open is that right yeah one line is open most of
00:28:20.500
the street are open and it's only one street i can say that is almost completely blocked it's um it's a
00:28:30.820
kent street but most of the other street it's all clean you can pass you have no problem for that
00:28:40.340
wellington street that is the main street where all the truck is there one line is open for the
00:28:46.500
police to pass and for the circulation so right now for the traffic you have no problem everybody can
00:28:55.140
pass everywhere so you say there's a free lane even on wellington there's a lane for the police to go on
00:29:00.500
yeah yeah and what street are you standing on now now i'm in melcaf so on the other side i'm facing
00:29:07.540
to uh a police car and uh um the parliament of uh ottawa huh so you know i i don't think you could i
00:29:17.940
don't even know if you could use the word blockade uh the idea that what you're standing in the middle
00:29:23.220
of some sort of national emergency worse than 9 11 because alexa they did not invoke the emergencies act
00:29:29.620
even on 9 11 so the idea that you could be standing and i'm seeing pedestrians walking
00:29:36.020
casually behind you and traffic slowly driving behind you the idea that this is some sort of
00:29:41.620
national emergency that we need to suspend civil liberties is such a laugh and when you're telling
00:29:46.980
me that almost every road has an open lane including wellington i think it's pretty clear that
00:29:52.100
justin trudeau is well he's staging a kind of coup i think and that he's removing civil liberties away
00:29:58.340
from the people as a desperate attempt to stay in power that's my view on things it's great to see
00:30:03.380
you stay safe if you're in trouble call immediately we have plenty of lawyers to help you and give my
00:30:08.900
best regards to our other rebels on the ground including our friend lincoln jay yes thank you for
00:30:14.500
having me have a good day right on you too there she is alexa lavoie you can see why she won the
00:30:19.860
rebbe award for the ambassador that's my attempt at french for the word ambassador she's such a great
00:30:27.540
ambassador for our company stay with us more ahead
00:30:29.860
hey welcome back your letters the grumpy hermit talks about christopher freeland and says
00:30:53.140
it's called destabilizing all of free market capitalism to bring in a world communist revolution
00:30:58.820
this is not something that will happen it's happening and well on the way there's no hidden
00:31:03.380
agenda it's all in the open they're daring us what are you going to do about it you know i was thinking
00:31:07.860
a little bit about that because one of the things we know about christia freeland's patron george soros
00:31:13.780
is that he is very amoral when it comes to financial opportunities so you might recall that he was the
00:31:19.860
man who broke the bank of britain he bet against the pound crashed it impoverished millions of people but
00:31:26.900
he made billions so i mean he orchestrates political change but his financial arm bets on
00:31:34.820
currencies and countries so you've got christia freeland and justin trudeau undermining canadian banks by
00:31:41.860
expropriating things without due process basically causing a run on the bank is george soros finding some
00:31:49.380
opportunity to short the canadian dollar to short some canadian banks some sort of
00:31:55.140
tricky fancy investment move it wouldn't surprise me in fact it would surprise me if he didn't
00:32:01.300
dearage 101 says the border blockades were already being cleared or cleared
00:32:06.180
yet he comes in with this it's justin trudeau overreach creating an actual emergency possible bank
00:32:11.860
outages runs as well i'm clearing my investments out of that country castrudeau's unpredictability
00:32:17.620
is a major red flag for me yeah the bizarreness of saying that turning banks into political
00:32:23.780
errand boys is going to increase confidence in the country no listen some truckers who were parking on
00:32:30.100
the side of the road and honking their horns um did no meaningful damage to the country uh christi
00:32:36.020
freeland tried to claim that that was damaging can's reputation as a trading partner no it didn't
00:32:41.620
but uh interfering with banks and foreign banks that will fuzzy dunlop says questions for canadians
00:32:49.860
are they any canadian celebrities or nhl players speaking out against what's happening here i haven't
00:32:55.540
really heard any i don't think i've seen any nhl players speak out in the united states you've seen a
00:33:01.460
few nba players speak out um i haven't seen any football players speak out against the vaccines i mean
00:33:08.740
um i don't think any nhlers have i think they are probably banned from speaking out and if they do
00:33:17.380
they would have big financial penalties or maybe be kicked out of the league in some way and i think
00:33:21.940
they've all made the decision to be quiet um for the sake of their careers and their money in a way i
00:33:30.100
can't blame them because if our political leaders our courts our chambers of commerce our colleges of
00:33:35.300
physicians and surgeons our media our opposition parties if all the people who are supposed to be
00:33:41.140
fighting for freedom don't can you really conscript an nhl player and say hey you should be doing more
00:33:46.660
than the leader of the conservative party is doing i think it's unfair it would be wonderful if they
00:33:50.980
did but i think the criticism on our side has to start with the people who had to criticize who had
00:33:56.740
to oppose these last two years and didn't let me leave you with our video of the day our friend
00:34:02.340
lincoln jay talking about banks bank accounts already being frozen under trudeau's emergency until
00:34:09.060
tomorrow when i'll have part two of my story of bill blair good night and keep fighting for freedom
00:34:16.020
jay for rebel news here in ottawa covering the truckers convoy now i have a bit of a breaking
00:34:20.100
story uh we just spoke with a gentleman by the name of sean zimmer you might remember sean from a
00:34:24.820
previous report i did in winnipeg where he was uh getting fined for running boot camps in his backyard
00:34:30.900
because at the time manitoba was under a lockdown and it wasn't permitted to hold outdoor classes
00:34:37.220
over a certain amount of people now sean traveled from winnipeg to ottawa in support of the truckers
00:34:43.620
convoy and he now has his bank account frozen he's not able to access any funds don't take my word for
00:34:50.900
it hear it from sean himself unable to log you in please contact your bank for assistance can't even
00:35:00.020
log in whole name sean zimmer um came down here with the freedom convoy here in parliament hill
00:35:06.900
ottawa and my bank account has gotten frozen which is a credit union um that's obviously just a true
00:35:13.540
was getting new acts uh we call it the desperate measures act which you see him crawling and everything
00:35:18.820
i'll tell you right now don't fear we have ways to go around this now to get into what happened i have
00:35:23.220
been assisting freedom fighters uh getting finances to their families to make sure that their children are
00:35:28.340
fed and they have a warm roof over their head and in doing so my account was flagged and they froze
00:35:34.900
my account not allowing me to send any transfers receive any transfers pay my bills we just have
00:35:39.300
a recording of the call that i got from my bank manager so in your account so as i'm not sure if you're
00:35:44.180
aware but there was a a cma um uh under the measures act uh they required financial institutions to
00:35:53.060
suspend financial services uh for accounts large crowd funding going through towards the protest
00:35:59.620
and who is they uh this is the federal governmental uh premier justin chudeau put out an announcement
00:36:06.180
on monday i encourage you to look into it um but your account was caught up in that
00:36:15.300
measures act and so you guys have not only frozen my account but suspended my account
00:36:21.220
so right now what i can tell you is that we're working with the regulators to figure out what
00:36:36.740
kind of information they're looking for you know what what they want us to do um what criteria they're
00:36:43.220
looking at what trends are so we're working with the regulators to kind of come to the an idea of what
00:36:50.500
they're requiring from us uh but at this time i can't give you much information because i don't know
00:36:55.300
much information so there's there's continuing conversations going on on what what we're supposed
00:37:00.180
to do with these with these accounts but based on the volume of crowdfunding um monies going through
00:37:07.220
your account was effective okay now in terms of the finance the money that's in my account right now
00:37:13.220
and bills that are coming out scheduled to come out um will those still proceed forward or is it
00:37:18.340
completely paused from any any transactions like that as well it is completely frozen so yes so for
00:37:24.740
example and i don't have a lot to compare this to um so it would be a similar situation um so if there
00:37:33.220
was a freeze let's say for example um on a money laundering or you know something that was i don't know
00:37:41.060
all debits would be frozen so under this that's how we've interpreted there's not a the problem
00:37:47.700
comes in there's not specific guidelines they're giving up so the the announcement reads suspend
00:37:54.340
financial services doesn't give into a list of criteria on what we can or can't pay so at this
00:37:59.700
point it is but is there something going through that's important to you that i should note yeah i have
00:38:05.380
my mortgage that comes out uh tomorrow um so obviously that's pretty important uh definitely
00:38:10.340
want that paid and well obviously obviously anything that i can uh but mortgage most definitely and uh
00:38:16.580
continuous confirmations on any information that you get once it's given uh directly to my email
00:38:21.380
address on file okay so you prefer contact by email then uh yeah contact by email some written uh
00:38:27.780
written proof on everything would be great uh yeah you're with assiniboine credit union correct
00:38:31.220

00:39:02.340
martial arts and life school we have an amazing community we built in winnipeg and hundreds of
00:39:06.820
kids coming through there nearly daily so that's a beautiful thing and obviously we want to keep that
00:39:10.180
going we want to keep everybody fed as well now we do have the world watching right now and the
00:39:16.180
unity that's being created here is such a beautiful thing if you've been here you know it
00:39:20.180
that ripple effect alone on what it's going to do across the world to change humanity but now we get
00:39:25.060
to share that across globally not just here if you haven't been here because now we're going to have
00:39:28.260
all that support come together we i suggest you don't send any transfers to anybody in support here
00:39:32.660
stay away from the big foundations for crowdfunding you can reach out to me at seanjzimmer on instagram or
00:39:37.700
thevikingondemand.com so i'm not concerned at all i tell you this is all fear tactics from day one two
00:39:42.580
years ago all fear tactics don't let that inside your head have faith everything they do is beautiful
00:39:47.220
it is honestly a good thing so always look at the glass half full not just half full but being filled
00:39:51.540
up almost spilling over because everything they do right now just causes more unity causes us to come
00:39:56.100
together even more we're human beings we adapt it's all designed to shake you and have you ask questions
00:40:00.900
and wake up and more people are seeing this tyrannical government overreach the rule and are coming together
00:40:06.660
to help what's happening here and understanding these and stuff so this is a beautiful thing to be
00:40:10.260
don't let any fear inside your head all right reach out to me if it is because i can show you the
00:40:13.940
way we have an abundance of resources here this is just a step of them scratching at whatever they
00:40:18.500
can does this persuade you in any way to leave ottawa and head back home why or why not no not at all
00:40:23.780
you know i i heard from probably almost 100 people this morning that they're on their way here because
00:40:28.180
of that and the new letter they put out to the truck drivers here scaring them saying they could get
00:40:32.340
arrested again fear tactics right this is bringing the strong down here for much more than just a festival
00:40:38.500
and experiencing the love but to have boots on the ground standing here with strength and honor
00:40:41.860
no matter what happens protecting the people of this country and our god-given rights and freedoms
00:40:46.180
final message to uh the people in charge that are ultimately freezing your bank account you know
00:40:50.740
justin trudeau uh christia freeland if you can speak to them right now what would you say you know
00:40:55.620
what um i love you honestly i love everybody but you up too far it's time to go all right you need to get
00:41:01.780
out of here you need it would be great if you could admit your wrongdoings to the people and take the
00:41:07.620
punishment that comes with that and serve it um whatever that is but you need to go uh the people
00:41:11.620
of this country and the world are coming together and you're just digging a deeper hole right now and
00:41:15.460
you're going to hurt yourself and those around you even more so it's time to you know man up and and
