Summary
Tamara Lich is finally released from jail after 18 days. She was the organizer and crowdfunder of the "Trucker Convoy" and she was arrested 18 days ago on charges of inciting mischief, which has to be the lowest, the most modest offense in the whole criminal code. I ve never heard of anyone being jailed for that, but alas, she just spent 18 days in jail. And I ll explain to you why the judges did that to her, and the absurd conditions they put on her when they released her last night.

Hello, my Rebels. Today, I take you through the terrible case of Tamara Litch.
00:00:04.660
She was the young woman who was the organizer and crowdfunder of the Trucker Convoy,
00:00:10.560
and she was arrested 18 days ago on charges of inciting mischief,
00:00:15.440
which has to be the lowest, the most modest offense in the whole criminal code.
00:00:19.180
I've never heard of anyone being jailed for that, but alas, she just spent 18 days in jail.
00:00:24.920
And I'll explain to you why the judges did that to her
00:00:28.240
and the absurd conditions they put on her when they released her last night.

Tonight, Tamara Lich, the peaceful trucker organizer, is finally released from jail after 18 days.
00:01:23.940
It's March 8th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:26.060
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:32.200
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:36.240
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:42.100
Last month, Tamara Lich was arrested on the streets of Ottawa, handcuffed like she was some violent criminal,
00:01:56.620
packed into a police vehicle, and taken to jail for inciting mischief.
00:02:03.780
I mean, according to prosecutors, she had told truckers to hold the line, and that meant keep protesting.
00:02:14.220
And that, apparently, is illegal in both Vladimir Putin's Russia and Justin Trudeau's Canada.
00:02:21.180
I have never in my life heard of someone charged with inciting mischief, as in she herself didn't even commit mischief.
00:02:28.660
She just encouraged others, one degree of separation, and such a person being held in jail pending trial.
00:02:38.340
I think mischief is the absolute lowest criminal code offense there is.
00:02:44.080
It's sort of a catch-all for things police don't like, like vandalism or jaywalking.
00:03:05.000
And Trudeau's judge denied her bail in the first instance.
00:03:11.340
Accused terrorists, but not accused opponents of Trudeau.
00:03:14.180
Here's Trudeau praising that first judge, Judge Bourgeois, when she ran as a liberal candidate a few elections back.
00:03:22.820
It's an extraordinary pleasure for me to tell you how much I have great admiration for Julie Bourgeois.
00:03:30.600
Her vision, her authenticity, her strength is going to be an amazing asset, both of the people of Glengarry, Prescott, Russell, but also to everyone in the House of Commons after the next elections, when I will have hopefully the honor of sitting beside her in the House.
00:03:49.260
Yeah, in the United Kingdom, having a Trudeau liberal judge a critic of Trudeau and jail her, that would be called a stitch-up.
00:03:59.380
Well, Tamara Lich appealed her outrageous imprisonment, and another judge heard the appeal last Wednesday.
00:04:07.640
The judge heard the back and forth for almost a full day, but then he said he would need a few more days before he could get around to issuing a ruling.
00:04:18.440
So the trial, the hearing, was over in one day.
00:04:21.260
But the judge said, I'm not even kidding, the judge said he was busy.
00:04:30.780
So Tamara Lich had to sit in prison for five more days because the judge was just so busy.
00:04:37.980
Well, yesterday, the judge finally got over his busy weekend and released Tamara Lich 18 days behind bars.
00:04:47.300
Yeah, we do have political prisoners in Canada, if you doubt me.
00:05:10.760
And they're turning against you, you freaking Nazis.
00:05:16.880
What are you doing to the clergymen in this country?
00:05:41.520
You're a, this is a priest, you understand that?
00:05:53.480
Tamara Lich was thrown in prison because she was a thorn in the side of Justin Trudeau.
00:06:00.440
Arthur Pawlowski, the pastor, is a thorn in the side of Jason Kenney in Alberta.
00:06:06.700
She'll notice that no politicians from any party, liberal, conservative, NDP, have spoken
00:06:13.980
out against imprisoning people for political reasons.
00:06:17.840
Where are all the Christian conservatives in Canada standing up for Arthur Pawlowski?
00:06:23.960
And not one would speak out against the outrageous jailing of a peaceful protester to Meryl Lich.
00:06:32.460
Even if you disagree with these people and what they stand for, you're not perturbed by
00:06:39.260
jailing peaceful political opponents of the regime.
00:06:45.000
In the United States, why would Ohio legislators care more about the jailing of a Christian pastor
00:06:57.260
The jailing of Tamara Lich was a global disgrace.
00:07:04.340
Here is the crowd of protesters in London, UK, out to meet Justin Trudeau and to demand to
00:07:25.480
Trudeau crushed our civil liberties like a bowl of eggs.
00:07:28.160
But he'll give some lectures to Vladimir Putin, I guess.
00:07:32.980
And we've come to a moment that, quite frankly, we've seen coming over the past years.
00:07:42.720
And we've talked about it in the news, not just about Ukraine, but about democracies around
00:07:48.200
the world, that we see a bit of a slippage in our democracies.
00:07:52.760
Countries turning towards slightly more authoritarian leaders.
00:08:00.560
Countries allowing increasing misinformation and disinformation to be shared on social media,
00:08:07.040
turning people against the values and the principles of democracies that are so strong.
00:08:15.040
And that slippage over the years, unfortunately, emboldened Putin.
00:08:22.760
It made him think that he could get away with this, that he could get away with it in Ukraine.
00:08:28.720
Here's Canada's foreign affairs Twitter account.
00:08:34.720
Canada is concerned about the recent moves to restrict media freedom and prevent access
00:08:43.600
The right to freedom of opinion and expression is a cornerstone of safe and prosperous societies.
00:08:50.020
Now, both Trudeau and Putin are introducing new laws or policies to ban disinformation and
00:08:58.140
crack down on fake news, which is simply what they each call their opponents these days.
00:09:07.080
Speaking of thugs, here's Trudeau's public safety minister, Marco Mendicino, who repeatedly
00:09:26.440
The Trudeau liberal public safety minister came all the way to Surrey for a photo op with
00:09:31.620
Doug McCallum a day before the mayor's next public mischief court date.
00:09:37.940
So the mayor of Surrey was awaiting trial on mischief charges, too.
00:09:47.400
Something about claiming someone drove over someone's foot.
00:09:52.160
I don't know all the details and they're not important.
00:10:03.980
In fact, the public safety minister is happy to sit with him, an accused criminal.
00:10:22.920
That means if she fails her conditions, that money's paid to the government.
00:10:31.180
Apparently, she's banned from the city, exiled from the city.
00:10:37.480
Oh, and she has to leave Ontario, the whole province, in 72 hours.
00:10:42.580
Can you just say, poof, you are not allowed to travel anywhere in Ontario?
00:10:50.440
I mean, what if I told you that a critic of Vladimir Putin was banned from Moscow, or
00:10:55.380
that a critic of Joe Biden was banned from Washington, D.C. and the states adjacent to it?
00:11:10.780
She can't talk to other truckers who are peaceful protesters as well, the ones who have been charged.
00:11:16.760
She's just not allowed to talk to them, just stop talking to them.
00:11:37.520
And a ban against protesting Trudeau's COVID policies.
00:11:52.000
She's allowed to criticize Ukraine-Russia policy.
00:11:55.260
She's banned from talking about Trudeau's COVID policy.
00:11:58.520
So I guess this wasn't really about a crime at all, was it?
00:12:02.660
It was a political crime, which in Canada is not a real crime.
00:12:09.440
And if she dares to oppose Trudeau on COVID, she will literally be thrown in jail for that.
00:12:13.760
It reminds me of that fool judge in Alberta, Adam Germain, the one who originally ordered
00:12:19.860
Arthur Pavlovsky that if he was ever to criticize lockdowns, he had to immediately read out a little
00:12:27.580
card written by the judge, a little self-renunciation authored by that particular judge.
00:12:33.140
So if Arthur Pavlovsky in a sermon or on Facebook or in a media interview, if he said his own
00:12:39.360
beliefs, he had to immediately recant them, this Ontario judge has gone further.
00:12:46.800
At least Arthur Pavlovsky could say his piece before he had to renounce himself.
00:12:51.700
But this Ontario judge is just plain old banned Tamara Lich from saying anything critical of
00:13:05.740
Or does he hand that off to judges like Trudeau does?
00:13:10.180
And do you think this was raised by the official opposition in Ottawa, by the Conservative Party?
00:13:16.340
By the Canadian Civil Liberties Association or other left-wing groups?
00:13:22.540
Every day, the establishment, the ruling class sees how far they can push.
00:13:51.680
Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations,
00:14:11.420
engage actively with so-called non-governmental organizations,
00:14:16.980
environmental organizations working against shale gas.
00:14:20.500
Obviously, to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas.
00:14:33.460
That's a clip from Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who used to be the head of NATO.
00:14:39.280
He said that Russia was taking money to convince, to fund anti-fracking,
00:14:45.500
anti-drilling groups in Europe to remove the possibility for Europe to be self-sufficient for natural gas.
00:14:54.160
There's a lot of natural gas in the shale across Poland, across France, even in Germany.
00:15:02.020
But for, I don't know, $50 million to environmental groups, that stopped $50 billion in oil and gas development,
00:15:12.280
making it so they had to buy from Gazprom and other Russian energy companies.
00:15:17.460
Well, finally, the chickens have come home to roost.
00:15:20.760
Europe simply cannot quit that Russian oil and gas.
00:15:24.760
Yes, America says it will turn off the taps to Russia.
00:15:29.280
But incredibly, instead of opening up the Keystone XL pipeline or more drilling in America, just shocking to me,
00:15:35.980
Joe Biden said he's going to ask the conflict oil countries in the world, including Saudi Arabia and Venezuela,
00:15:46.520
Well, joining us now to talk about this extreme situation is our friend Mark Marano, the boss of Climate Depot.com.
00:15:54.860
I think it's incredible that Joe Biden literally is choosing foreign conflict oil over American and Canadian ethical oil.
00:16:04.700
I never thought I'd see the day, but we're seeing it.
00:16:07.980
We are, Ezra, and of course, you forged the way on this.
00:16:10.620
We were just talking almost a decade ago when we were talking about this,
00:16:13.840
and you were pushing that concept of the ethical oil.
00:16:17.000
And what the Biden administration is doing right now, by shutting out Canadian oil, by shutting out U.S. domestic oil,
00:16:24.840
all it's done is empower Russia's Putin, Iran, OPEC, Venezuela, and of course the green energy mandates have empowered China,
00:16:34.140
which the U.S. is buying about 90 percent of our solar panels there, all the rare earth mining,
00:16:38.780
the cobalt in Africa using underage, the slave labor in China.
00:16:44.280
It's literally turned logic, scientific evidence, and energy reality on its head, but they're not giving up.
00:16:51.760
They're putting sanctions on Russia, but they refuse to lift the sanctions on U.S. and Canadian domestic energy.
00:17:00.300
I mean, Biden literally canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, but he did approve the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
00:17:06.920
I mean, whether or not it continues to be built, I don't know, but Nord Stream 1, like Germany cannot cut off Russia.
00:17:17.400
They're talking about giving military aid to Ukraine, but they're still financing Russia every day by buying Russian oil.
00:17:24.920
The only true sanctions put on any oil company are Biden putting them on Canadian-American producers.
00:17:33.660
When Elon Musk made this tweet last week, Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla, everybody knows he's a big green energy guy,
00:17:42.560
but he said that he supports oil and gas, and that that's what America needs now.
00:17:50.400
And maybe one day, you know, it'll be a green energy economy, but it's not there now.
00:17:58.580
Well, I honestly believe, if you know the film The Matrix, that Elon Musk has been red-pilled.
00:18:03.540
This is not the same Elon Musk from two or three years ago.
00:18:11.940
He started, he had been speaking out about anti-COVID stuff for a long time, upsetting the liberals, the Biden administration,
00:18:20.480
all the, you know, the lockdown left, if you will.
00:18:23.560
So now he's coming out with some serious energy reality on Keystone and oil and domestic thing.
00:18:37.600
Elon Musk is a very important elite person, if you will, one of the wealthiest men in the world.
00:18:44.960
But this is a man who is speaking his mind and speaking it freely, and they can't cancel him.
00:18:53.780
Well, I mean, even more remarkable is that Tesla is based on a post-fossil fuel future.
00:18:59.240
So for him to come out for oil and gas, I think his powerful position is part of it, but that it's against his own self-interest, I think, is even more powerful.
00:19:09.760
You know, some journalists have tried to ask the Biden administration, why don't you just turn on the taps in America and Canada?
00:19:17.640
Like, seriously, running to Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela or looking to do a deal with Iran, which is the craziest.
00:19:24.800
Here's how a question and answer went in the White House briefing just the other day.
00:19:41.720
And I know that can be inconvenient, but I think they're important in this moment.
00:19:45.000
To the contrary, we have been clear that in the short-term, supply must keep up with the demand.
00:19:51.140
We are here and around the world where we make the shift to a secure, clean energy future.
00:19:55.920
We are one of the largest producers with a strong domestic oil and gas industry.
00:20:06.860
There are 9,000 approved drilling permits that are not being used.
00:20:11.720
So the suggestion that we are not allowing companies to drill is inaccurate.
00:20:16.880
The suggestion that that is what is hindering or preventing gas prices to come down is inaccurate.
00:20:23.140
Would President Biden rescind his executive order that halts new oil and natural gas leases on public lands?
00:20:32.080
Well, 90% of them happen on private lands, as I'm sure you know.
00:20:36.080
And there are 9,000 unused approved drilling permits.
00:20:40.600
So I would suggest you ask the oil companies why they're not using those if there's a desire to drill more.
00:20:46.180
Would President Biden ever undo his executive order that stopped the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline?
00:20:53.000
Are you suggesting that would solve the gas prices issue?
00:20:55.860
Well, do you think that that would maybe affect prices faster than getting the whole country off of fossil fuels?
00:21:08.940
Also, the oil is continuing to flow in just through other means.
00:21:13.520
So it actually would have nothing to do with the current supply imbalance.
00:21:17.800
So gas prices are approaching an all-time high per gallon.
00:21:22.060
How high would they have to get before President Biden would say,
00:21:25.920
I'm going to set aside my ambitious climate goals and just increase domestic oil production,
00:21:33.100
get the producers to drill more here, and we can address the fossil fuel future later?
00:21:38.740
Well, again, Peter, the U.S. produced more oil this past year than in President Trump's first year.
00:21:45.140
Next year, according to the Department of Energy, we will produce more oil than ever before.
00:22:02.520
Well, I think that really the worst sanctions are on America, not on Russia.
00:22:08.360
And Jen Psaki is literally trying to say, it's the oil companies that won't drill.
00:22:14.800
Well, first of all, you have to get a permit to drill.
00:22:17.480
Second of all, there's about four, almost half of that number waiting for pending approval from the federal government.
00:22:22.720
Besides that, what the Biden administration, not Obama, has done is literally gone to every length possible with the Treasury Department to defund fossil fuel energy extraction.
00:22:36.240
So even if they got a permit, first of all, they have to decide if these sites are worthy of the investment.
00:22:41.340
And the investments are incredibly expensive, given that through environment, social governance style ideology, they're being defunded.
00:22:51.040
Banks who lend to fossil fuel companies have higher interest rates.
00:22:54.600
They're faring very poorly on the social credit system.
00:22:59.020
And what's ended up happening is they are being defunded.
00:23:04.120
And this whole, they keep doing this sleight of hand about the permits, about the leases versus permits.
00:23:09.220
And it doesn't mean a thing because these companies are not allowed, are not able to drill.
00:23:16.300
And it would take years, by the way, with this federal permitting process to ramp up.
00:23:20.680
And then, of course, we've talked about Keystone.
00:23:22.840
Well, Keystone would be more oil daily, I think, 850,000 gallons versus the 600 barrels, versus the 600,000 barrels we get from Russia.
00:23:34.180
But the biggest thing that the Biden administration has done since day one is tell the energy future markets that America is closing for business, whether it's Keystone, whether it's federal lands, whether it's fracking death of 1,000 cuts, whether it's defunding the fossil fuel industry, whether it's going after offshore drilling.
00:23:54.800
Whatever it is, this is a futures market that looked 1, 5, 10 years ahead.
00:24:00.320
When you send those signals to energy markets like the gas market, you are just going to hike prices.
00:24:07.540
That's why his announcement today on Russian oil will further announce it.
00:24:11.820
So what I was arguing, Ezra, was no Russian sanctions lifted until domestic energy sanctions are lifted in America.
00:24:20.500
That should be a condition for the Republican Party.
00:24:24.100
They should get immediate and concrete concessions out of the Biden administration that they are going to lift what they did in the first week of office that has had a lasting impact on domestic energy.
00:24:36.000
You know, when Biden talks about releasing petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, it sounds a lot when you say 20 million, 30 million barrels.
00:24:44.160
But America burns, I don't know, 18 million barrels a day going from memory.
00:24:49.320
So, sure, you can release 30 million barrels, and that will be sopped up in 36 hours.
00:24:59.240
The Keystone XL pipeline was so close to being finished.
00:25:03.260
I mean, you say it would be a year or two to get it done.
00:25:05.640
That's probably the case because everything has been so shut down.
00:25:11.260
That just to ramp it back up would take two years.
00:25:17.300
I mean, you can still find online some of the gorgeous videos of the part being built across the border.
00:25:26.900
And it's just so incredible how all the ideas of ethical oil are just as valid now as they were a decade ago.
00:25:36.840
And I think you've put a new idea in my mind that the worst sanctions right now are not being put on Russia.
00:25:41.860
In fact, they're not really sanctioning important oil sanctions on Russia because Europe can't do that.
00:25:47.420
Frankly, Europe ought to be careful Russia doesn't sanction them by not selling oil to them.
00:25:51.600
Like, China could just buy all that oil and, God forbid, Russia would sanction Europe and Europe would be plunged into energy poverty overnight.
00:26:03.740
Like, if you took all that Russian oil and gas out of Europe, I really don't know what would happen there if it happened immediately.
00:26:10.960
They could topple Western Europe to the point where Russia could be the second largest economy next to Germany.
00:26:16.140
How bad it got was U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2019, in order to virtue signal for the net zero Green New Deal style agenda in Europe,
00:26:26.340
literally got two big fracking wells in U.K. and they poured concrete in them.
00:26:31.600
This would have supplied 50 years of natural gas to England.
00:26:37.800
And on top of that, there's word today that this is according to Bloomberg News,
00:26:42.580
because Obama's former Treasury official, Mark Mazur, has now said the quiet part out loud.
00:26:48.860
The climate actors, he goes, quote, we don't want lower prices for fossil fuel buyers.
00:26:53.020
We prefer higher prices to achieve climate change goals.
00:27:01.380
They care about destroying the old order in order to force some green solar wind utopia.
00:27:12.040
They think we can double down now and go all green and somehow we're all going to just be able to shift over to renewable energy,
00:27:18.340
which is less than four percent solar and wind, less than four percent of U.S. energy production.
00:27:25.060
Well, I mean, I know Trudeau hasn't said a word about opening up the Keystone XL pipeline.
00:27:32.820
He, you know, we had a liberal leader who called that the green shift.
00:27:36.760
It makes life so expensive, it forces you to change how you live.
00:28:03.660
He cannot legally block any citizen from reading or accessing an official departmental platform.
00:28:09.140
He can mute your comments but cannot deny your access.
00:28:16.100
That's what our lawyers think, and we filed a lawsuit.
00:28:19.280
I mean, I don't want, I'm not interested in following his personal family accounts.
00:28:22.300
I'm not, I'm not expecting him to talk to me or be friends with me.
00:28:26.720
In fact, I really don't care about him as a personal private citizen.
00:28:30.920
Catherine McKenna had banned Sheila Gunn-Reed from Twitter too, but now that she's left politics
00:28:36.200
in disgrace, we're really not interested in her Twitter account anymore.
00:28:42.200
But if a government office with government staff is putting out government message on
00:28:46.880
a government Twitter account, I just think it's a scary precedent to say, ban my enemies
00:28:56.980
Now, it's not the same as like welfare or a pension, but it's a government service nonetheless.
00:29:01.820
And if you can ban your enemies from this service, why not from that one?
00:29:10.600
Canada has turned into an international laughingstock where pastors are thrown in jail and the banks
00:29:15.020
can seize your accounts if you don't agree with the government.
00:29:18.200
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.
00:29:24.880
You know, we will never know the extent of the damage done to our national reputation,
00:29:35.940
You know, if you look at banking architecture, older banks look really majestic, big pillars.
00:29:42.080
And part of the reason for that is they wanted to look solid and stable and reliable.
00:29:49.000
Like they would never be blown away by any political gust of wind.
00:29:55.080
Now, of course, banks are trying to look as friendly as possible, because I think people
00:29:58.920
know that banks are safe because of deposit insurance and because in our lifetimes, really,
00:30:08.080
There was a minor bank in Alberta that did, I recall, the principal group.
00:30:17.300
My point is, the fact that banks look friendly instead of strong and stable spoke to the trust
00:30:44.160
Perseus 09 says, I'm deeply confused about an obvious issue.
00:30:47.860
In order for a person to join any of the following organizations, you first need a clean criminal
00:30:54.900
This clown is a convicted criminal, yet he's being appointed to a high-level government agency
00:31:01.640
Clearly, government rules were ignored in order to employ this criminal for a government
00:31:06.560
It makes you wonder how many other convicted criminals are running the nation that we are
00:31:12.500
You're referring to Stephen Gilboa, who was convicted of a crime and is in the cabinet.
00:31:16.560
I know, at least it was in the past, that the RCMP would review cabinet appointments because,
00:31:23.680
of course, if you're part of the cabinet, you hear national secrets, including military
00:31:28.460
secrets, diplomatic secrets, commercial secrets.
00:31:30.900
So I'd be very curious to know what the RCMP said about Stephen Gilboa, a convicted criminal.
00:31:39.720
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rubble World Headquarters, to you at home,
00:31:45.160
And let me leave you with a video from our reporter, Sid, at the Calgary United for Freedom
00:31:57.320
I'm Sidney Fisard for Rubble News, and we're here in Calgary, Alberta, where there is a
00:32:01.740
freedom protest taking place behind me, an event that's been going on for over two years
00:32:07.020
They began at the start of the pandemic and continue on to this day.
00:32:10.020
And even though many mandates in Alberta have been lifted as of late, there are still plenty
00:32:15.180
of mandates and other restrictions impeding on the daily lives of everyday Canadians.
00:32:19.480
And especially, this can be noted in the life of Artur Palowski.
00:32:23.180
He remains behind bars to this day as the only man ever charged under the Critical Infrastructure
00:32:28.440
Defence Act for the crime of giving a sermon to truckers and coots who are blocking the
00:32:37.600
Some would argue he's being held as a political prisoner.
00:32:40.320
And not only that, but even though mandates have been lifted, it doesn't take away the
00:32:43.760
damage that's been done to these Canadians for the past two years.
00:32:46.640
So they're out here strong, fighting still to end what restrictions and measurements still
00:32:50.900
lie in place in hopes of bringing life back to normal.
00:33:01.420
So we are going to keep at this until it is all done, guys.
00:33:07.980
We can't leave them so much as an inch right now.
00:33:15.280
You drive three hours west, you're back in COVID country.
00:33:19.400
Two years now into the pandemic and a lot of people would see that there's mandates being
00:33:25.100
But of course, if you ask anybody here, it seems like there is much more to be done.
00:33:30.360
The biggest thing, Sidney, I think is for everybody to kind of get on the same page.
00:33:38.120
We've got Alberta lifting all the restrictions and mandates.
00:33:45.140
One thing we're sure of is we're not getting a concerted answer, a unified answer for across
00:33:53.260
And I think the overwhelming evidence, somebody needs to take a look at that and stuff.
00:33:58.440
But our leadership from the top down, we don't have a leadership.
00:34:02.740
Therefore, it's like everybody's going in a different direction and we're not getting
00:34:16.520
Don't call the new normal to this normal trend now.
00:34:20.560
I know most is done, but not everything is done.
00:34:24.040
So we have to still have lots of to do before everything is supposed to be dropped.
00:34:30.200
There is a lot of federal mandates that have not been dropped.
00:34:47.780
We have no opposition and we have no leadership.
00:34:50.140
So I'm praying and hoping that freedom-minded Canadians that were along the highway, all
00:34:57.920
along Canada and minus 20 for that truck convoy all the way to Ottawa.
00:35:02.460
There was people out in the middle of nowhere in their farms.
00:35:04.640
I hope all of us people here, all of us people get together and we come up with a unified,
00:35:14.220
Let's look at all the issues that we need to look at.
00:35:17.520
Budget, immigration, freedom, possibly a look at the Charter of Rights.
00:35:22.780
Brian Peckford has got a case in the court right now with Maxine Bernier.
00:35:27.300
I think that's going to go a long ways to laying some groundwork for our freedom going forward.
00:35:31.840
Well, the next step, hopefully, I mean, Kenny's up for a review.
00:35:39.800
If I may say so, I would like to plug and hopefully get Tamara and a few of the other people
00:35:52.620
We can't stop and let our guard down and just not be a part of that movement, send letters,
00:35:57.160
write to our MLAs, do what we can do to get this dropped all across coastal.
00:36:01.840
The coast, not just provincially, our, our prime minister needs to stand up and say,
00:36:08.700
You know, we should not be discriminated or forced to lose a job or not allowed to work
00:36:15.680
at a certain place because we don't have a vaccine or et cetera.
00:36:20.460
And the federal government needs to stand up that.
00:36:23.080
I mean, how many, it was not that long ago, they legalized marijuana.
00:36:28.560
Now all of a sudden it's acceptable and it's legalized.
00:36:31.300
Well, why is it acceptable to discriminate against people who are not vaccinated?
00:36:39.360
Why should I be forced to inject something into my body because someone else says so?
00:36:43.900
And we're already into this long enough to know that they don't work anyway.
00:36:47.140
And I mean, I don't want to go down that rabbit trail, but I mean, the data is out there.
00:36:52.360
This is unacceptable in children and schools and, you know, it's way more than just masks
00:36:59.540
Last protest, I heard you advocating for Pastor Arthur Poloski.
00:37:02.980
In his current situation, he's still behind bars.
00:37:05.800
And why do you think they're keeping him in that situation?
00:37:10.140
I mean, the number one thing he's done is he's from, if everyone kind of pretty well
00:37:16.840
I mean, he's from Poland and they went through this.
00:37:19.340
He's, you know, behind a lot of this, you know, the different organizations, not so much
00:37:24.040
behind him, but he talks truth and he gives us a spiritual message and they don't want
00:37:31.000
And, you know, basically we know he's a political prisoner for the Alberta government.
00:37:35.680
And, you know what, when we're talking about that, they have no real reason to hold him.
00:37:40.600
They're holding him, you know, and I guess everyone knows this, I'm not sure of the exact
00:37:44.020
charges because there's many different charges, you know, about creating public mischief over
00:37:51.600
Well, number one, he didn't organize that rally.
00:37:53.940
He was there as a pastor, a man from God to give them hope, the people that came there.
00:37:59.000
So, you know, by doing that, he was in a place and, you know, they can just make up
00:38:06.040
He was supposed to get his bail hearing on the 11th and now we found out a couple nights
00:38:12.440
He's just on the docket, which means they can hold him there until whenever the judge
00:38:18.180
They're also keeping the evidence from his two attorneys, you know, to stall it even more.
00:38:27.760
He talked to us today in church via a telephone call.
00:38:31.940
He has strength and we support him and we are not going to back down.
00:38:38.440
We're going to be there at four o'clock tonight and we're there seven o'clock every night.
00:38:45.840
They're really, they're starting to realize who God is and how corrupt the system really
00:38:51.740
We're going to keep holding the line for freedom and we're going to support our pastor
00:39:00.360
Like he spoke at our church today and he said it was a hit job.
00:39:04.520
It was for the same charge, breach of bail conditions.
00:39:07.340
And we actually had Pastor Art phone from the jail today in our church and it was quite
00:39:17.100
Most of the stuff he's being charged with should be looked at in court.
00:39:20.460
And at the very least, he should be released so he can prepare a proper hearing.
00:39:24.980
And people like Art Pawlowski and Tamara Lynch, like why are they being held in jail when criminals
00:39:34.020
Pedophiles and murderists and manslaughter charges and they're all released.
00:39:38.800
And these guys are charged with mischief and they're held in jail and people aren't even
00:39:48.140
And I've been told he's in, in solitary confinement here in Canada, like this is unacceptable.
00:39:54.820
And then everybody's bringing up the Ukraine and Russia thing.
00:40:05.460
I'm not going to go pick up guns and fight their fight.
00:40:10.840
But the best thing that I can do right here in this Alberta here, where I stand, is to
00:40:17.520
And that's across the globe, no matter if, how can I better represent Ukraine, in my
00:40:23.300
opinion, than to come to an event that supports freedom so that we don't end up in a tyrant,
00:40:33.060
And I'm sure those guys would want us to stand up and support freedom.
00:40:38.060
I don't think they're mad that we're out here, like some people say, whining about our freedoms
00:41:05.960
This happened last week as well as this week, where a group of counter protesters have been
00:41:12.100
And it seems last time they were just standing as the protesters walked by.
00:41:18.800
One side, there's the freedom rally protesters.
00:41:21.320
And the other side, there's the counter protesters.
00:41:24.460
I've tried to ask a few of them for comment, but like last week, they refused to give.
00:41:28.740
Hey guys, so an interesting development occurred while these guys started their march.
00:41:56.300
And that was on their way through the city, a counter protest group had blocked off the road.
00:42:02.520
One of the roads that these guys would frequently travel down.
00:42:06.460
So it does seem like the counter protesters forced the protesters' hands in that they had to relocate
00:42:13.780
But I don't know what this will mean for next week.
00:42:15.360
But it seems like these counter protests, it happened last week.
00:42:18.920
I guess we'll find out if there's going to be another one next week.
00:42:21.000
We'll be sure to keep you up to date as things progress through the weeks.
00:42:23.480
And of course, you heard these guys' message, their concerns about Pastor Art Toplowski,
00:42:27.300
as well as their concerns with the fact that though some mandates have lifted,
00:42:30.720
this is sure to come back around in their opinion.
00:42:32.900
So we're going to keep tabs and see how this progresses.
