00:01:49.500 but can i ask you how's it going for you these days how are you feeling hopefully you're doing well
00:01:56.000 but it's tougher out there than it has been in decades actually i think that's affecting everybody
00:02:01.680 here's one measure per capita income as in that's what the average person earns in a year
00:02:08.420 you can see that it went flat in 2015 and then it plunged during the pandemic lockdowns
00:02:15.440 just like it did in the u.s but after that the u.s rebounded it zoomed up but canada is falling again
00:02:22.360 we're getting poorer is what that means we've been in decline since well what happened in 2015
00:02:27.420 justin trudeau happened now inflation add inflation to that but grocery shopping is more expensive than
00:02:34.680 ever the carbon tax means gasoline and everything that uses gasoline is more expensive a house in
00:02:41.640 canada is about double what it costs in the united states how is that even possible
00:02:45.140 then there's the non-financial stuff crime is nuts out of control immigration is stressing
00:02:52.220 everything from hospitals to traffic and housing of course and then there's the cultural things
00:02:57.760 like the fact that trudeau is in love with terrorists and those who support them at least
00:03:02.080 that's how it looks and at the same time he's pushing a culture of death on canadians both through
00:03:08.200 assisted suicide and by legalizing hard drugs who does that i i really think things are bad out there
00:03:15.500 did you see this emigration that means people leaving canada to the u.s hits a 10-year high
00:03:23.040 as tens of thousands head south census says 126 000 people left canada for the u.s in 2022
00:03:31.940 a 70 percent increase over a decade ago that's amazing that many people fled canada in 2022 alone
00:03:40.960 those who can get out are getting out but look at that first headline again the one about
00:03:49.100 about politicians getting a helpline quebec launches helpline for politicians following wave of
00:03:56.040 resignations at municipal level hundreds have left public life since 2021 now they're they're setting up
00:04:01.440 a helpline for themselves not for you they care about themselves they don't really care about you
00:04:10.280 where's our helpline not that the government ever helps quebec is committing two million dollars
00:04:16.160 to connect politicians and their families that must be nice with psychological aid after a wave of
00:04:22.860 resignations and leaves of absence among elected municipal officials well that's nice i mean politicians
00:04:29.880 they really are the people we have to cherish and nurture they're really the best but have you ever
00:04:36.180 heard anyone even say that you know that politicians are the least worked people in the country right
00:04:41.740 and that's not an opinion it's a fact you know when i was in my 20s i worked in the federal parliament
00:04:45.860 for preston manning he was the mp i was an assistant the entire parliament would shut down it would have
00:04:51.340 like a month off for christmas not a week a month a few months over summer huge stretches of breaks
00:05:00.180 whenever there was a statutory holiday they would add like a week to it i'm not making that's what i couldn't
00:05:04.980 believe it parliament sat for only 121 days in all of 2023 that's that's like two days a week on average
00:05:14.760 the senate of canada worked just 80 days all year but they give themselves huge raises every april fools
00:05:23.820 they you know provincial governments are even lazier i don't know if you know that the average provincial
00:05:27.840 legislator meets just 59 days a year if they show up for them oh but the poor dears it's all about
00:05:35.720 them can we help them a new telephone helpline is available starting today for politicians in need
00:05:42.280 of help after almost 10 percent have quit since the 2021 municipal elections
00:05:47.320 only 10 percent have quit in three years i'm just thinking how can we get that number higher
00:05:54.900 since when is being a politician a lifelong job isn't the whole point of democracy and elections
00:06:01.880 to clean out the stables to get rid of politicians before they go fully corrupt if you're only getting
00:06:08.400 rid of 10 percent in three years it's going to take you 30 years to get rid of all of them that that is too
00:06:14.300 slow quebec says the helpline is part of a multi-year plan to improve working conditions for local
00:06:20.760 leaders but today's announcement comes just one week after the abrupt resignation of the mayor of
00:06:26.120 gatineau oh not that eh how about working conditions for the rest of us does anyone care if a politician
00:06:34.420 quits isn't that like a good thing don't people always cheer when that happens well look at this story
00:06:41.000 here again from the cbc state broadcaster people who intimidate harass quebec politicians to face
00:06:51.200 1500 fines under new law officials can also ask for injunctions against citizens is that the worst
00:07:00.160 criminal law story in canada right now you know in canada's two biggest cities toronto and montreal
00:07:06.240 there are daily pro-terrorist street actions sometimes they're just trespassing and vandalizing
00:07:12.960 and harassing people sometimes they're actually beating up jews sometimes they're actually shooting
00:07:19.660 or firebombing schools and synagogues i think there's a violent harassment crime wave in canada right now
00:07:27.780 in addition to the regular crime wave but no no no no no whether you're worried about home invasion
00:07:32.360 robberies or car thefts the most urgent crime wave that the government is focusing on is people being
00:07:39.040 mean to politicians by the way i'm against people actually harassing politicians but i mean actual criminal
00:07:47.640 harassment like like stalking i'm against actual threats as in like uttering a death threat god forbid i'm
00:07:55.100 against that and luckily so is the criminal code section 264 to the criminal code makes harassment a crime
00:08:03.680 but let me read you the definition of that so you can feel comforted that politicians are protected
00:08:08.720 already this is a list of things you cannot do if it quote causes a person reasonably in all the
00:08:16.540 circumstances to fear for their safety or the safety of anyone known to them okay and here's the list of
00:08:22.360 things you can't do a repeatedly following from place to place the other person or anyone known to
00:08:29.160 them b repeatedly communicating with either directly or indirectly the other person or anyone known to
00:08:35.280 them besetting or watching the dwelling house or place where the other person or anyone known to them
00:08:41.540 resides works carries on business or happens to be or engaging in threatening conduct directed at the
00:08:49.780 other person or any member of their family so that's already in the criminal code it's been there for
00:08:56.240 decades that pretty much covers all the bad behavior you would want to cover i think i'm just going to
00:09:03.640 quickly read to you the definition of uttering threats too just so you can know you can be at peace you can
00:09:10.180 sleep soundly tonight that politicians are already protected okay here's section 261.4
00:09:18.240 everyone commits an offense who in any manner knowingly utters conveys or causes any person to receive a
00:09:27.940 threat to cause death or bodily harm to any person to burn destroy or damage real or personal property or
00:09:36.940 to kill poison and injure an animal or bird that is the property of any person so you can't
00:09:44.780 poison anyone's bird or make any threats like i've just described there so that's already all in
00:09:51.480 there so if the criminal code already makes it illegal to do all those things and plenty more
00:09:56.460 things so what are they actually banning now in quebec with this new law i mean the criminal code is a
00:10:02.480 serious law with serious consequences lots of police lots of prosecutors so what's this new thing
00:10:08.400 they've got going on what like the i just told you harassment's against the law already threats are
00:10:14.500 against the law already stalking harassing well here's a quebec politician talking about the new law
00:10:23.060 who accidentally spoke the truth about it this is from a story on global news you must be treated
00:10:29.620 in a respectful manner and that is the essence of the of this bill that we support oh got it you must
00:10:36.100 be treated in a respectful manner really i i thought they said that this law was about
00:10:44.780 threats and crimes it's it's about forcing voters to respect politicians really no wonder the criminal
00:10:52.900 code isn't good enough it doesn't cover what they want it to cover there's no crime called talking to
00:10:58.880 politicians in a disrespectful tone that's not a thing they're trying to make it a thing but check this
00:11:03.980 out this is the new bill in quebec a provincial law called bill 57 this is the one that cbc is talking
00:11:10.100 about i i read it let me read the key paragraph paragraph eight and look at how this is very
00:11:16.380 different from the criminal code criminal code was very specific wasn't it here's the new quebec law
00:11:22.460 an elected municipal officer who due to being an elected officer is the subject of comments
00:11:31.040 comments or actions that unduly hinder the exercise of their functions or invade their privacy may apply
00:11:39.500 to the superior court for an injunction to put an end to the situation comments that hinder a politician
00:11:48.820 comments that hinder a politician that's a little bit different than than what i went through about
00:11:54.620 harassment and threats isn't it like i said we already criminalized real threats and stalking
00:12:00.980 you can't even follow people even if you don't talk to them you can't even beset them which you can't
00:12:07.340 just stand outside their house and stare that's called stalking that's criminal harassment i read those
00:12:12.380 sections to you but i just read to you the new law and it doesn't it doesn't govern what the criminal code does
00:12:20.000 i just it says comments that hinder a politician like like what would that be like heckling
00:12:26.080 or asking a tough question at a press conference oh and look at the powers they've given their judges
00:12:32.900 now under this law the superior court may in particular order a person number one to not attend the meetings
00:12:39.920 of any council or a municipal body of which the elected officer is a member two to not be in the offices
00:12:47.160 of any municipal body referred to in subparagraph one without having being authorized to do so
00:12:51.860 by the council of that body three to cease communicating with the elected officer or four
00:12:57.800 this one's just unbelievable to cease disseminating in the public sphere comments referred to in the
00:13:05.880 first paragraph an application is heard and decided on an urgent basis everything else in the court is
00:13:12.180 cleared because we've got to stop these comments being made about politicians just to be clear if
00:13:19.640 someone is truly threatening a politician with harm by the way i'm against that and luckily so is the law
00:13:26.260 you can even get a restraining order that's in the law but that's through careful rules under the
00:13:33.140 criminal code for real crimes what we're talking about here is a call it's for comments that hinder
00:13:39.920 a politician hey your comments really hindered me and did you see the list of remedies now banning you
00:13:46.960 from going to city hall banning you from going to i don't know a government office banning you
00:13:53.700 from communicating with your politician at all and that last one was the craziest banning you
00:13:58.600 from making comments in public not even to the politician you can't even make public comments under this law
00:14:04.960 no wonder they need a two million dollar helpline look these politicians don't care about you
00:14:12.640 they work less and less every year 120 days a year for federal politicians 60 days a year for the
00:14:21.220 provinces they give themselves automatic pay raises every april 1st they set up special mental health
00:14:28.180 hotlines for themselves and their families and now they're threatening to prosecute you and sue you
00:14:34.940 and ban you from places if you have mean comments about them these are the worst people in the world oh
00:14:42.340 sorry is that an illegal comment now stay with us for more
00:14:48.100 you'll remember when jody wilson raybold was fired as justin trudeau's justice minister you might not
00:15:07.160 actually remember when it happened because we didn't know what was going on until later when it came out
00:15:13.060 through the globe and mail that she was actually sacked she was fired it wasn't a normal shuffling
00:15:19.040 of the cabinet she was fired for a very particular reason she would not go along with justin trudeau's
00:15:26.260 demands that jody wilson raybold interfere with a criminal prosecution of a liberal firm snc lavaland
00:15:34.300 that was being prosecuted for corruption trudeau wanted to give snc lavaland a sweetheart deal he wanted
00:15:42.720 to interfere but jody wilson raybold who happened to be the first indigenous justice minister in
00:15:48.860 canadian history well she was a bit too ethical for trudeau so he sacked her well who did he appoint
00:15:57.200 in her wake someone who was 180 degrees different from her when it came to bending the rules for liberals
00:16:05.700 and so david lametti filled those shoes and it was a terrible and momentous decision because of course
00:16:12.660 trudeau made that decision so he could get away with whatever he wanted to do and in february of 2022
00:16:19.860 that whatever he wanted to do wasn't to throw a bone to his crooked friends at some big corporation but
00:16:26.720 rather to ram through the emergencies act declaring a form of martial law in canada that had not even been
00:16:35.140 invoked during the 9 11 crisis david lametti presided over the invocation of the emergencies act
00:16:43.360 which was later ruled by the federal court to be illegal and unconstitutional i put it to you
00:16:52.160 that if judy wilson raybold had been the justice minister in february of 2022 she would not have
00:17:00.280 spoken highly of the truckers she wouldn't have been an ally of the truckers but i believe that
00:17:05.900 that same ethics and independence of spirit would have made her say to trudeau no what you are proposing
00:17:13.220 to do is illegitimate illegal unconstitutional and i simply won't let it happen but alas she was gone by
00:17:21.460 then and crooked david lametti pulled the trigger now when that federal court ruling came out
00:17:27.720 david lametti hastily resigned from parliament in disgrace and here is what we're talking about today
00:17:36.000 on his way out the door as he ran out of parliament just as the lawsuit started piling up
00:17:44.360 david lametti pushed the delete button on his official twitter account online you might say so
00:17:54.560 what good riddance we don't need to hear from him anymore fair enough but that wasn't a personal
00:17:59.960 twitter account it was a government twitter account and it was governed by various rules about destroying
00:18:07.140 public documents you can't simply shred everything when you're out the door nor can you delete anything
00:18:15.020 in this high-tech age we all saw it but no one actually did anything no one except for rebel news that is
00:18:25.620 we rushed to court with an emergency application asking a judge to compel david lametti to stop deleting
00:18:35.000 public records we had a hearing very quickly by no one less than the chief justice of the federal court
00:18:42.640 himself it stands to figure if you're suing a justice minister you probably want the most senior
00:18:49.560 judge involved a more junior judge might be too timid well that was a few months ago and i'm happy to say
00:18:57.600 that we have brought this matter to a conclusion rebel news on its own we had no interveners
00:19:04.500 took david lametti to court and managed to get that crooked trudeau cabinet minister
00:19:11.880 to reinstate his twitter account and to hand over files to canada's library and archives joining us
00:19:19.260 now via skype from calgary is the lawyer who did it scott nickel joins us now scott congratulations
00:19:26.300 uh it feels pretty good to beat the justice minister and it feels even better to be the only people in the
00:19:32.320 country who thought we should do it yeah hey it's always good to connect uh ezra and this has been a
00:19:37.960 good outcome i think for all canadians in terms of transparency access to information and accountability
00:19:43.740 of public officials now i gave a big sweeping story there but can you fill in some of the details
00:19:50.640 about the court procedure itself how many hearings were there and after a while it sort of broke out into
00:19:58.820 negotiations didn't it because lametti didn't actually want to give his records back to the
00:20:06.120 government he tried to wriggle out of that so many ways give our viewers sort of a behind the scenes
00:20:12.520 how many hearings were there and then what happened in that three-way negotiation between you on behalf of
00:20:20.400 rebel news lametti who is now at a private law firm and the government of canada which was fighting us too
00:20:28.240 well there's a there's a few hearings i don't want to quote the exact number and be wrong off the top
00:20:34.100 of my head a number of them are scheduling hearings and determining the urgency and in a substantive
00:20:40.420 hearing addressing what would happen uh with this matter and of course at each hearing the government
00:20:45.640 shows up with a number of lawyers and and um mr lametti has a number of uh undoubtedly taxpayer funded
00:20:51.780 lawyers uh supporting him as well what's panned out is ultimately a resolution where mr lametti has agreed that
00:21:00.920 uh the contents of not only the x or the twitter archive related to his his account that he used during his time
00:21:09.380 as a public official but also uh the information from his signal account which was used presumably uh for various
00:21:17.780 communications related to his work uh during his public tenure would be provided uh to library and
00:21:24.080 archives and that was all material it was a threat of deletion or other loss uh prior to rebel's involvement
00:21:31.300 in this proceeding you know uh signal for those who don't know is a highly encrypted messaging app it's
00:21:37.940 sort of like whatsapp but more secure you can set a timer to delete messages after a week or two weeks
00:21:46.440 and it's where i think a lot of government decisions and chatter happens outside of the reach of the access
00:21:55.480 to information system i think that the liberals they're so crooked i think they do most of their
00:22:01.320 sensitive communications on signal and simply never disclose it to anyone in this rare case we managed to
00:22:09.800 freeze his signal content and have it handed over to the library and archives is that correct
00:22:16.440 yeah correct in this case um eventually mr lametti agreed to hand over the signal uh archive to library and archives
00:22:24.440 and there were some some details in there frankly a few periods of time where we were concerned that
00:22:29.160 any incidental event could could result in loss of data or be the reason that loss of data could be claimed
00:22:35.800 uh this is a new world of that we're working in in terms of communications a hundred years ago virtually everything would be written on a piece of paper or some other record
00:22:44.440 uh without cryptography certainly there's a risk of loss but you know the fire that occurs at the same
00:22:50.760 time that a bunch of papers are lost is somewhat suspicious now there's a whole world of data that
00:22:55.720 can be stored on a cell phone and with a level of cryptography or encryption that is essentially
00:23:02.440 properly done unobtainable without the password or the agreement of the person who's chosen to encrypt it and
00:23:10.280 that's the world this raises new issues um in how do we work with public servants and the public sector
00:23:19.480 the people that are supposed to serve us be elected by us and are supposed to be in service for us and
00:23:24.520 who should be preserving records of their work when there is a plethora of tools and a plethora of tools
00:23:29.880 that don't necessarily make it easy to archive those informations or perhaps provide opportunity for
00:23:35.720 people who would like to keep information out of the official archives in doing so yeah and i am
00:23:42.200 absolutely certain with what we've learned today about the number of members of parliament who are
00:23:46.440 colluding with foreign powers i'm sure they're using signal or other highly encrypted ads they're not
00:23:52.520 dumb enough to use regular email that is stored on servers i want to talk about one more thing which
00:23:57.880 i thought was fascinating this whole thing was david lametti's fault he was being sneaky which is really his
00:24:05.400 middle name uh in fact i think it actually might be his middle name i have to check his birth certificate
00:24:10.600 he was sneaky which is why he succeeded jody wilson raybold he was sneaky which is why he could
00:24:15.880 delete his account as he left parliament and by the way he almost got away with that um
00:24:21.960 he was the reason this whole thing happened we rushed to court using our own crowdfunded donations to
00:24:29.160 to pay for legal team but in the end the federal government demanded that we rebel news pay costs to
00:24:42.760 the government i think if memory serves i think they were demanding ten thousand dollars they were going
00:24:48.360 to insist that rebel news had to pay the government of canada ten thousand dollars because we didn't get
00:24:55.640 every single demand that we had made we got him to put the uh his twitter account back up we got him
00:25:02.600 to hand over the signal files we got we got him to sign an undertaking not to delete things so we basically got
00:25:09.880 90 of everything we demanded but the government said well you didn't get it all so you got to pay us ten thousand dollars
00:25:16.200 tell us how that went i mean that's just so trudeau isn't it um how did that whole thing wrap up
00:25:21.960 well i can tell you where we we've landed is that the you know everybody involved in the litigation
00:25:28.600 david lametti and the government have have come around to saying hey there's not going to be costs
00:25:33.720 for any of this we had uh letters regarding that um a letter regarding that as well as a
00:25:40.200 discontinuance of the action filed uh yesterday or sent in to the federal court for filing yesterday
00:25:46.280 and that the parties have agreed eventually to to having no cost but there certainly was a period of
00:25:51.080 time where the government said hey you brought this we would like you to pay for costs of this action
00:25:57.080 uh and and that might be concerning to people who say hey if uh an independent organization is taking
00:26:05.720 steps that result in the protection of information certainly um it was only after rebel initiated this
00:26:13.880 action through us that the x account was reinstated and the x account information and archives were
00:26:22.120 pulled out of the deletion pipe what we call the deletion pipeline the more or less 30 day period
00:26:28.840 after which x may expunge an account and its data and it's only after that we started the action against
00:26:36.760 mr lametti as well as the government that that account was reinstated and taken out of that risk
00:26:43.240 and after that yes the government's asking for money from rebel for those steps it was so gross it was
00:26:50.440 such a trudeau move uh to to try and punish the whistleblowers i mean in in some jurisdiction
00:26:56.680 whistleblowers actually get rewards for for stopping corruption i know uh there's some foreign corruption
00:27:04.280 for corrupt practices act there's certain um war profiteering corruption laws in america that if you
00:27:10.920 blow the whistle on corruption you actually get a payment which can be a multiple of how much
00:27:17.160 corruption you expose in canada under trudeau it's the opposite you blow the whistle on trudeau
00:27:22.520 corruption they'll try and bill you ten thousand dollars for your efforts but uh congratulations to
00:27:27.800 you scott for managing to dissuade them of that foolish idea i think that lametti uh still got away
00:27:34.600 unscathed i mean he wasn't charged with any crime he wasn't charged with violating
00:27:40.440 um the the access to information and protection of privacy act or whatever the name of the law is he
00:27:46.280 wasn't charged with violating a uh an archives law like he slipped away sneaky lametti slipped away the
00:27:54.520 same way he slid into government in the first place no no criminal record no fine no conviction he
00:28:03.160 actually got away with it in the end and some of his lawyers if not all were paid for by the federal
00:28:08.360 government so in a sense justice has not yet been done even now but the fact that we managed to stop
00:28:15.560 him from deleting his account and uh and i think we embarrassed him a bit frankly because we caught
00:28:21.400 him and we had the trial and he effectively admitted that we caught him because he put it back up
00:28:26.760 so i would call this a victory wasn't a total victory he wasn't convicted of a crime he wasn't jailed
00:28:33.480 but i think we sort of bopped him in the nose and i think we showed uh we sent a message that even if
00:28:39.640 the regime media and even if frankly the opposition wasn't on guard we were so i i regard that whole thing
00:28:45.720 is a success how about you oh absolutely i think each of these incidents in this case in particular
00:28:53.000 helps push and keep an eye on the developing modes of communication by public officials as well as the
00:29:00.120 need to keep transparency in those communications and transparency in the acts of the people that govern
00:29:06.840 our society um there was absolutely in our our view a risk of records relevant uh to the invocation of
00:29:15.000 the emergencies act that could have been lost or deleted whether that's intentional or not um that
00:29:21.800 have been preserved as in in my view an outcome of this case and as well important debate about the
00:29:29.960 role um that these accounts are accounts of public servants and not mere personal accounts that's
00:29:36.600 that's been one of the lines that we've seen in virtually every case and it's becoming clearer and
00:29:40.520 clearer um as a matter of law in canada that if you're using an account on x or otherwise in your
00:29:47.560 role as a public servant that that's not going to be viewed as a personal account and these are
00:29:53.880 important developments in these cases that help protect freedoms in canada well rebel news has been
00:29:59.320 behind a lot of them of course you know we sued stephen gilbo for blocking us on twitter from his
00:30:04.280 government account we sued three other cabinet ministers kareena goldmarcy ian and yara sacks
00:30:09.240 so we have done a lot of public interest litigation the bills are still coming in as you just heard scott
00:30:15.080 say as recently as yesterday he was working on this file we obviously haven't been billed for that work
00:30:20.440 if you want to help us out we don't have the vast treasury of the country paying our fees we have to
00:30:26.680 crowd fund it we've set up a special page for it at stop the cover up dot com that's exactly
00:30:32.840 what limetti was trying to do by deleting his twitter account stop the cover up dot com uh great
00:30:39.800 to see you thanks very much for your for your fighting work in court and i have a feeling we'll
00:30:45.240 probably be calling on you again because as the liberals swirl down the drain i think they're getting
00:30:51.880 more and more desperate and they'll probably try deleting more records so stay fresh stay ready we'll
00:30:57.720 call on you again thank you guys for always a pleasure all right cheers there you have it scott nickel
00:31:03.000 one of the lawyers we had fighting against sneaky david lametti stay with us more ahead
00:31:20.280 hey everybody it's been an interesting week last week uh our friend alexa lavoie went to london england
00:31:26.840 to cover tommy robinson's huge rally and i went to geneva switzerland to cover the pandemic treaty that
00:31:35.400 was being negotiated and protested then of course uh we had all sorts of things happening throughout
00:31:41.880 canada from coast to coast and i want to tell you about something that's going on this sunday
00:31:47.400 there's a huge march for israel that's going on in toronto which is the city in canada with the most
00:31:54.200 jews about 200 000 jews in toronto and of course there's many people who support israel who aren't
00:32:00.040 jewish or just hate these hamas rallies who aren't jewish so once a year the jewish community has
00:32:04.920 something called walk with israel and it's just a big walk down a street and it's sort of festive and
00:32:12.520 there's food and there's songs and stuff well you can imagine what that's going to be like in 2024
00:32:18.040 where you don't even have to imagine it various pro-hamas groups have said they're going to target
00:32:24.200 it they're going to show up in mass and push back imagine that you've got kids and families and sort
00:32:31.880 of a festival thing in the middle of the day and then you've got these foreign funded foreign directed
00:32:37.720 hamas thugs saying they're going to bust it up well the toronto police say they're going to go all out in
00:32:43.480 fact they've asked for reinforcements from police forces in neighboring cities i think it's probably
00:32:49.880 going to be the largest police presence in toronto since the g20 years ago we're going to have a team
00:32:56.920 on the ground to report it not just on the march for israel i'm sorry the walk with israel but the
00:33:02.600 pro-hamas reaction to it so that is happening on sunday and we'll have reports live throughout the day
00:33:09.560 on twitter so a lot going on in this country i tell you it's it's a shame that toronto still allows
00:33:16.360 the hamas encampment at the university of toronto whereas calgary and edmonton cleared those ruffians
00:33:22.600 away quite quickly and actually a university in northern toronto called york university was dispatched
00:33:29.240 quickly too i all i can think of is the double standard in policing and how peaceful truckers who did
00:33:36.200 nothing more than maybe violate some traffic laws were the cause for uh martial law but trudeau and
00:33:44.680 really most politicians on the provincial and city level too really couldn't care about pro-hamas
00:33:50.040 protesters camping trespassing mischief uttering threats and even assault so keep your eye peeled on
00:33:57.560 the weekend until next time on behalf of all of us here at rebel world headquarters to you at home good
00:34:02.840 night and keep fighting for freedom
