Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ The University of Toronto is a cesspool of 'misinformation'

00:00:00.000 the Liberals are funding academics to get to the bottom of all this misinformation online as is the

00:00:20.220 case with every scary movie including the one Canadians are living through I think the phone

00:00:25.080 calls coming from inside the house and then the big boss man Ezra Levant gives us a walkthrough

00:00:30.940 behind the scenes in Davos at the World Economic Forum it's January 15th 2024 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:00:38.720 but you're watching the Ezra Levant Show

00:00:40.760 shame on you you sensorism bug

00:00:55.080 the University of Toronto is seeking someone to do a misinformation study I'll give them a little

00:01:05.580 bit of free advice the biggest hotbed of misinformation for Canadians is about

00:01:10.560 five hours east of Toronto in Ottawa now getting back to that U of T contract the one-year contract

00:01:18.440 to examine misinformation and news consumption in Canada has the potential to be extended for four

00:01:25.160 years you see that there one year brings us to the end of Trudeau's current term if he wins the election

00:01:33.120 that contract will likely be extended or it could be killed if the Conservatives win as the Trudeau

00:01:41.460 Liberals have dumped over 30 million dollars in four years into the digital citizen initiative for

00:01:48.840 researchers to study what the government determines to be harmful misinformation online the U of T is

00:01:55.280 embarking on a mission to investigate the scary sources of it look at this the Canadian digital media

00:02:02.380 research networks mission is to protect and build resilience within the Canadian information ecosystem by

00:02:09.000 investigating how information is produced shared and consumed across all mediums you need these people

00:02:16.100 folks at home to protect you from information online that the Liberals don't like let's keep going

00:02:23.640 this survey project is led by an academic team of researchers at the policy elections and representation lab

00:02:31.560 at the University of Toronto however the researchers at U of T really need to look

00:02:38.800 no further than Ottawa to uncover the network of misinformation plaguing Canadians I mean who could forget when we were

00:02:45.900 told that the COVID-19 vaccine stopped virus transmission only to see the multiple jabbed

00:02:52.940 infinitely boosted Justin Trudeau get COVID every time somebody looked at him wrong

00:02:59.520 the Liberals have frequently misled the public and quite possibly themselves on the content of their own

00:03:06.760 legislation with Bill C21 the Liberals most recent attack on private gun ownership the Liberals called

00:03:13.240 accusations that the bill outlawed hunting rifles and shotguns misinformation the answer is no C21 is part of our

00:03:21.580 commitment to Canadians to move forward on strengthening gun control in smart responsible ways we have frozen the

00:03:28.860 market on handguns it's now impossible to buy or sell a handgun in this country we've moved forward on a ban on assault

00:03:35.960 style weapon that's been in place for two years and we're making sure with C21 that assault weapons will

00:03:41.560 never be legal again in this country the issue that's come up for a lot of people and I suspect

00:03:46.040 Eric who sent in the question is that there's a lot of misinformation and disinformation from the

00:03:50.440 Conservative Party and from the gun lobby about us going after hunting rifles and shotguns the reality is

00:03:56.520 we're focused on banning the most dangerous weapons those assault style weapons that were designed to kill the largest number of people as quickly and efficiently as possible

00:04:04.920 however in reality the law did exactly that and the Liberals had to then amend the portion of the law after their lies were laid bare to the Canadian public

00:04:16.920 the Liberal government is in the process of banning over half of the legal firearms in Canada and possibly even more

00:04:22.920 this is a result of the May 2020 gun ban and the Liberals new Bill C21 Justin Trudeau and Marco Mendocino have consistently claimed that they aren't banning any firearms used for hunting in Canada

00:04:36.920 we've been very clear that we are not targeting law-abiding hunters and fishers we're not going after shotguns or rifles

00:04:46.920 let me be very very clear on this we are moving forward on a ban on assault style weapons we're not going after

00:04:54.920 shotguns and rifles that are primarily used for hunting we are targeting those AR-15 style guns which have been used in mass casualties

00:05:02.920 the kinds of weapons that are used to kill the largest number of people as quickly as possible

00:05:06.920 they have also consistently claimed that others are spreading misinformation

00:05:10.920 accusing them of banning firearms used for hunting

00:05:12.920 we are not targeting law-abiding gun owners we are not targeting those guns which are commonly used for hunting

00:05:17.920 the Conservative Party is in the pockets of the gun lobby and trying to spread disinformation

00:05:23.920 honorable colleagues from the Conservative Party can continue to spread disinformation

00:05:26.920 but in the amendments to Bill C21 that the Liberals themselves tabled countless hunting rifles and shotguns

00:05:32.920 will be banned such as the Weatherby Mark 5 the Benelli M1 Super 90 the 1908 Brazilian Mauser

00:05:40.920 and the SKS just to name a few Trudeau later said this

00:05:45.920 there are some guns yes that we are going to have to take away from people who were using them to hunt

00:05:51.920 when I asked the Liberal firearms expert Murray Smith at committee if hunting rifles would be banned as a result of Bill C21

00:05:58.920 he answered yes

00:06:00.920 so are the Liberals banning hunting rifles?

00:06:03.920 yes

00:06:04.920 they banned some in 2020

00:06:06.920 and they intend to ban countless more using Bill C21 and its amendments

00:06:10.920 and this bill provides the legal ability to ban every firearm left in Canada

00:06:14.920 these are the easily verifiable facts

00:06:19.920 Trudeau has also accused Muslim parents of falling for far right misinformation for objecting to gender theory and sexualized materials in the classroom

00:06:30.920 but at the end of the day Muslim parents were just doing exactly what all right thinking parents should do

00:06:38.920 and that's making themselves aware of what was exactly being taught in Canadian classrooms with regard to gender theory

00:06:46.920 and then there's Liberal MP Mark Holland

00:06:49.920 he had to admit to the House of Commons that he gave misinformation to the chamber

00:06:54.920 when the Liberals asserted that Conservative leader Pierre Polyev could not pass a classified security screening

00:07:01.920 but we have offered to the leaders of all the parties in the House the capacity to get the security clearances necessary

00:07:11.920 so that they can look at that raw intelligence themselves

00:07:15.920 thank you very much Mr. Speaker

00:07:16.920 Mr. Speaker yesterday during question period

00:07:19.920 I'd like to inform the House that I misspoke when I said the leader of the official opposition was offered a briefing on foreign electoral interference

00:07:26.920 what I had meant to say Mr. Speaker was the leader of the official opposition had stated publicly that he would refuse such a briefing on classified information

00:07:33.920 I apologize for the confusion

00:07:35.920 Trudeau also claimed it was misinformation that his government was targeting farmers with a 30% reduction in nitrogen fertilizer use

00:07:44.920 however, internal agriculture ministry records demonstrated that that was a lie

00:07:51.920 that's not the plan we are not mandating 30% reductions in fertilizer use

00:07:56.920 Trudeau has also insisted that his escalating carbon tax would result in lower costs to the consumer and more money in Canadian pockets

00:08:03.920 if this were said in the private sector that person would be accused of running an illegal Ponzi scheme

00:08:09.920 but since it's Trudeau math everyone just shrugs their shoulders

00:08:13.920 we know that climate change is real

00:08:16.920 we know we have to do what we can to reduce emissions and fight it

00:08:20.920 but we also know we have to do that in a way that continues to support families

00:08:27.920 that's why we brought in a price on pollution that is one of the world leading prices on pollution

00:08:33.920 with a model that is unique to Canada

00:08:37.920 that actually puts more money back in the pockets of the average Canadian families

00:08:44.920 than the price on pollution actually costs them in a given year

00:08:49.920 so not only are we sending clear price signals to businesses and to innovators to keep moving forward on reducing emissions

00:09:00.920 and investing in clean technology

00:09:03.920 but we are putting more money in the pockets of families right across Canada

00:09:11.920 because of this price on pollution

00:09:13.920 this is a measure that both helps with affordability and fights climate change

00:09:18.920 so when conservative politicians say they would scrap the price on pollution

00:09:23.920 what they're actually saying is we will do less to fight against climate change

00:09:27.920 and we will be taking money away from families who are counting on these climate action incentives

00:09:33.920 to continue to find things affordable

00:09:35.920 yet the head of the Bank of Canada Tiff Macklem described the carbon tax as one of the leading causes of the inflationary crisis

00:09:43.920 hammering Canadians bank accounts as we speak

00:09:46.920 what would be the effect if the carbon tax

00:09:50.920 what would be the effect on inflation if the carbon tax was eliminated

00:09:53.920 and that would create a one-time drop in inflation of 0.6 percentage points

00:10:00.920 okay

00:10:01.920 so that would last one year

00:10:03.920 and since you can only eliminate it once

00:10:06.920 the next year it would have no effect on inflation

00:10:09.920 for sure

00:10:10.920 and hopefully next year inflation won't be as big a concern as it is this year

00:10:15.920 but just to reiterate what you said there

00:10:19.920 so it would be 60 basis points or 0.6 percent

00:10:23.920 which currently the inflation rate is at 3.8 percent

00:10:29.920 and so that equates to more than 10 I think almost 15 percent

00:10:32.920 if I can do the math quickly

00:10:33.920 well it'd be 3.2

00:10:36.920 that would be a sizable drop in inflation

00:10:39.920 it would make your job to quote you

00:10:42.920 it would be helpful if I can would that be correct

00:10:46.920 it's only going to affect inflation for one year

00:10:49.920 yeah but as you said Mr. Macklem hopefully

00:10:52.920 and as you forecasted inflation probably according to your predictions

00:10:57.920 won't be as big an issue as it will for a year right now

00:11:00.920 so if we can get a year's relief out of that

00:11:02.920 that's Canadians who will be able to keep their houses

00:11:04.920 that's Canadians who will be able to enter the mortgage bank

00:11:06.920 that's Canadians who will be able to feed themselves

00:11:09.920 because of a 10 percent reduction in inflation isn't that so Mr. Macklem

00:11:13.920 it will be down 0.6

00:11:15.920 and Chrystia Freeland the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance

00:11:18.920 has said that she defends journalists from state attacks

00:11:21.920 journalists are not the enemies of the people

00:11:24.920 journalists serve the people

00:11:27.920 speaking from my own experience in government

00:11:30.920 I cannot say that every single question that I am asked by a journalist

00:11:35.920 is welcome or easy to answer

00:11:39.920 but I am absolutely convinced that the fact that journalists are present to bear witness

00:11:49.920 the fact that journalists are present to hold governments to account

00:11:55.920 makes governments better

00:11:57.920 so freedom of the press is an essential human right

00:12:02.920 and it is an essential element in making democracy strong

00:12:07.920 however she refused to defend David Menzies

00:12:09.920 when he was illegally arrested and assaulted

00:12:11.920 by her executive security detail

00:12:14.920 literally as it happened

00:12:16.920 Ms. Freeland, how come the IRDC is not a terrorist group?

00:12:21.920 why is your government supporting Islam on national media?

00:12:24.920 what?

00:12:25.920 you've been in Mississippi

00:12:26.920 what do you think?

00:12:27.920 you're under arrest for a service

00:12:29.920 you're under arrest for assault

00:12:32.920 you're under arrest for assault

00:12:34.920 what are you talking about?

00:12:36.920 police

00:12:37.920 you're under arrest for assault

00:12:38.920 how am I under arrest?

00:12:39.920 you bumped into me

00:12:40.920 you pushed into me

00:12:41.920 you bumped

00:12:42.920 I was just scrubbing

00:12:43.920 I've got my credentials here and you just bumped into me

00:12:45.920 so excuse me

00:12:46.920 police

00:12:47.920 you're under arrest for pushing me

00:12:48.920 what is your name in your bag?

00:12:50.920 what is your name in your bag?

00:12:51.920 you've been told you're under arrest

00:12:53.920 why am I under arrest?

00:12:54.920 he blocked my way

00:12:57.920 he blocked my way

00:12:59.920 what?

00:13:00.920 I was just scrubbing

00:13:02.920 Christian Freeland

00:13:03.920 I'm a police officer

00:13:04.920 you're under arrest

00:13:05.920 what is your name in your badge?

00:13:06.920 you've been told

00:13:07.920 assaulting a police officer

00:13:08.920 she also failed to take a stance in defense of a free press

00:13:10.920 when asked about the arrest of David Menzies

00:13:12.920 what do you make of your security detail arresting David Menzies?

00:13:16.920 I want to start with what was important about Monday

00:13:26.920 and what was important about Monday, January 8th

00:13:31.920 was that was the fourth anniversary of a date that I think forever needs to be marked and circled in black

00:13:41.920 on the calendar of all Canadians

00:13:43.920 it was a tragedy for Canada

00:13:46.920 Canadians were criminally murdered

00:13:50.920 and I want to say to the families and loved ones of the people who were murdered

00:13:58.920 that Canada remembers Canada will not forget

00:14:02.920 and that's why I was in Richmond Hill

00:14:05.920 Marcy was there too

00:14:07.920 to show that this is a Canadian tragedy

00:14:10.920 that Canada remembers and Canada will not forget

00:14:16.920 on the incident

00:14:22.920 as you guys know very well

00:14:25.920 Canada is a rule of law country

00:14:27.920 Canada is a democracy

00:14:30.920 operational decisions about law enforcement are taken by the police of jurisdiction

00:14:37.920 quite appropriately

00:14:39.920 political elected officials have no role in the taking of those decisions

00:14:45.920 and that's why I don't have any further comment

00:14:48.920 all this is to say maybe I should apply for that contract with the University of Toronto

00:14:54.920 I mean any of us from the independent media could

00:14:56.920 because it is our job to hold the Liberals to account for their misinformation

00:15:03.920 I mean we could apply for it but pretty much nobody at the CBC could

00:15:09.920 stay with us

00:15:10.920 the boss Ezra Levant gives us a sneak peek from behind the scenes

00:15:15.920 at Davos Switzerland at the World Economic Forum

00:15:45.920 anybody who felt this was too much or I said it's an unfair question because who will the hell

00:16:02.920 you know the theme of this week's World Economic Forum meeting here in Davos is

00:16:08.920 I think that's how the locals say Davos

00:16:10.920 I don't know I'm mispronouncing it

00:16:12.920 the theme is rebuilding trust

00:16:14.920 and at least they acknowledge that they've lost trust

00:16:18.920 but it's almost a poisonous endorsement if the WEF supports you

00:16:24.920 they take over this ski village in the Swiss Alps

00:16:27.920 and they transform the center street into

00:16:31.920 I guess the best way to describe it is like a movie set

00:16:34.920 and big globalist corporations set up pavilions and kiosks

00:16:40.920 behind me is really the heart of darkness

00:16:42.920 BlackRock it's run by Larry Fink

00:16:45.920 perhaps the world's most aggressive promoter of cultural Marxism

00:16:51.920 DEI diversity equity inclusion

00:16:53.920 BlackRock has trillions of dollars under management

00:16:56.920 and what they do is really sneaky Avi

00:16:58.920 is that they say to the companies they invest in

00:17:01.920 we're not just here for a financial rate of return

00:17:04.920 we're going to force you to do

00:17:06.920 Are you interrupting?

00:17:07.920 Are you interrupting us?

00:17:08.920 What's your name?

00:17:09.920 I'm so sorry to interrupt but this is a parking space

00:17:11.920 I just wanted to ask you to move over to New York

00:17:13.920 I'm not going to because there's no car coming to this parking space

00:17:16.920 What's your name?

00:17:17.920 I don't want you guys to get hit by a vehicle

00:17:19.920 What's your name?

00:17:20.920 Me neither, thanks for caring so much about me

00:17:21.920 I feel like BlackRock really cares

00:17:23.920 Just watch yourself

00:17:24.920 Okay, what's your name?

00:17:25.920 My name's Julia, hi

00:17:27.920 Julia, are you with BlackRock or are you with...

00:17:29.920 Yeah

00:17:30.920 What do you do with BlackRock?

00:17:31.920 Oh, I'm not going to go into interview

00:17:33.920 Don't touch me

00:17:34.920 Don't touch me

00:17:35.920 Sorry, don't touch me

00:17:36.920 Regaining trust

00:17:37.920 To me, I'm looking at this

00:17:39.920 it looks more of the same business as usual

00:17:41.920 pop-up city in a town

00:17:44.920 where they're going over the next week to

00:17:46.920 I imagine, as usual, tell us that climate change

00:17:49.920 in fact, their mission statement is

00:17:51.920 one of the biggest risks is misinformation and global weather events

00:17:58.920 extreme weather events from climate change

00:18:00.920 How do you justify this and how do you say this is regaining trust

00:18:04.920 if you're doing exactly the same thing year on year?

00:18:08.920 Yeah, I mean, just as we drove in

00:18:10.920 we saw them putting the final touches on this gorgeous wooden facade

00:18:15.920 and I don't... Royal Commission for AIUIA

00:18:19.920 I don't know what that word even is

00:18:21.920 or is that Alula?

00:18:23.920 I don't even know

00:18:24.920 What does it say over here?

00:18:26.920 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

00:18:28.920 Vision 2030

00:18:30.920 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

00:18:31.920 Okay, so this is some Saudi thing

00:18:33.920 Who knows what it is?

00:18:34.920 A lot of Saudi things here over the last 15 years

00:18:38.920 A lot

00:18:39.920 A lot

00:18:41.920 Credible India

00:18:43.920 Empowering 1.5 million

00:18:46.920 They're obviously hoping to get some of that black rock action

00:18:51.920 There's a lot of very generic sounding groups

00:18:54.920 Empowering Women Igniting Prosperity

00:18:57.920 A group called We Lead

00:18:59.920 I mean, how are you going to possibly be against empowering women

00:19:02.920 and igniting prosperity

00:19:05.920 Without doing a search on it

00:19:07.920 to do a little due diligence

00:19:08.920 I have no idea who they are

00:19:10.920 But I gotta think it's...

00:19:13.920 If it's here at Davos

00:19:14.920 it's probably some sort of authoritarian

00:19:16.920 or centrally planned economy

00:19:18.920 Why don't we poke in for a second

00:19:20.920 and just see if they'll tell us?

00:19:23.920 What is this?

00:19:24.920 I'm Ezra, what's your name?

00:19:25.920 I'm Ray Luka

00:19:26.920 Hi

00:19:27.920 What's this whole thing?

00:19:28.920 We're curious

00:19:29.920 We walked by and we didn't know what it was

00:19:31.920 This is an Indian lounge

00:19:33.920 It's a women's lounge

00:19:35.920 Are we allowed to be in as supporters?

00:19:38.920 Because we're not women but we sure like women

00:19:40.920 Yeah

00:19:41.920 Okay

00:19:42.920 But they have to like you too

00:19:44.920 Otherwise...

00:19:45.920 I have mixed luck in that regard

00:19:47.920 Listen, I'm joking around

00:19:48.920 So basically this is...

00:19:50.920 Do you want to talk about it?

00:19:51.920 Come on

00:19:52.920 So it's a lounge that's been set up to speak about women leadership and the role that they play in globalization and propelling the economy forward

00:20:02.920 It's been set up in collaboration with the Ministry of Women and Child Development Government of India and Bill and Melinda Gates and the CII, Consideration of Indian Industry

00:20:13.920 So our focus is exactly to understand across various industries and across various sectors

00:20:21.920 What are all the achievements that have already happened with women leading the charge?

00:20:25.920 And what are all the opportunities that are present now?

00:20:28.920 Can I ask you one question? We love the government of India and we see there's a lot of Indian pavilions here and I think that's very exciting

00:20:35.920 The world's largest democracy

00:20:37.920 But you mentioned that Bill and Melinda Gates are involved

00:20:40.920 And they're not as focused on democracy, are they?

00:20:44.920 And they really... I'm nervous about that

00:20:47.920 Is this a way to bring in abortion or to have vaccines?

00:20:54.920 Because when I think of Bill and Melinda Gates, I think of social engineering

00:20:58.920 And I'm just worried because I'm worried that this is their doorway into India

00:21:03.920 Am I being too skeptical?

00:21:06.920 No, we've been working with them for a long time

00:21:08.920 And don't find a story where there isn't a story

00:21:11.920 Okay, well tell us what they're doing

00:21:13.920 Why would they... what is their goal here?

00:21:15.920 No, no, you're focusing on them

00:21:17.920 Well, I mean you mentioned them

00:21:18.920 The focus here is on the Indian Minister for Women Leadership

00:21:24.920 And she is going to be talking about women leadership in India and globally

00:21:30.920 And that is the focus of the whole thing

00:21:32.920 Okay, well listen, that sounds positive to me

00:21:35.920 But I tell you, when you said Bill and Melinda Gates, it was like...

00:21:38.920 Blah, blah, blah

00:21:39.920 That's why I said don't look for a story

00:21:41.920 Well, I think there's a story somewhere here

00:21:43.920 What is their goal?

00:21:44.920 Come back again, when the Minister...

00:21:46.920 When's the Minister coming?

00:21:47.920 When the session is happening to find out the real...

00:21:49.920 Okay, and when's... do you know what day that's happening?

00:21:51.920 Yeah, tomorrow on Wednesday

00:21:52.920 Tomorrow, 6 in the evening, we have a press conference

00:21:54.920 You are welcome

00:21:55.920 Thank you very much, you're very friendly

00:21:57.920 Thanks for welcoming us

00:21:58.920 You're a lot nicer than the guys at BlackRock

00:22:02.920 Alright, well good luck, ladies

00:22:04.920 Thank you

00:22:05.920 And we might come back tomorrow

00:22:06.920 Go ahead

00:22:07.920 No guy that's going to come here?

00:22:08.920 No, he's not

00:22:09.920 Oh, he's not

00:22:10.920 I don't, don't

00:22:11.920 For a story

00:22:12.920 We don't need to look for a story

00:22:15.920 Wherever Bill Gates is, there is a story

00:22:17.920 He's not, yeah

00:22:18.920 But there are many different stories

00:22:20.920 You can come back

00:22:21.920 We'll come back

00:22:22.920 Thank you so much

00:22:23.920 Thank you for that warm welcome

00:22:24.920 Bye ladies, good luck

00:22:25.920 Keep it up

00:22:26.920 Cheers

00:22:28.920 And the thing is, you can't...

00:22:29.920 You look at those people

00:22:30.920 And you can't fault them

00:22:31.920 When Bill Gates comes in with all this cash

00:22:35.920 And these people obviously need the money for...

00:22:38.920 I don't know what the organisation is

00:22:40.920 I don't know if it's good or evil

00:22:42.920 I don't know anything about it

00:22:44.920 You know what, I'm worried about it

00:22:46.920 I mean, India is not a rich country per capita

00:22:50.920 But it is an enormous country

00:22:52.920 It has an enormous GDP, an enormous budget

00:22:54.920 They don't actually need Bill Gates' money

00:22:57.920 To do what they want to do

00:22:59.920 And Bill Gates does nothing for free

00:23:01.920 There's always an angle, an ideological angle

00:23:04.920 And so it makes me nervous that he's burrowing his way in

00:23:09.920 Not just to our countries in the West

00:23:11.920 But he's burrowing his way into India

00:23:13.920 I don't know, I mean, listen

00:23:14.920 They were lovely ladies

00:23:16.920 But I was not pleased with what they revealed unprompted

00:23:22.920 They were proud about Bill and Melinda Gates until...

00:23:26.920 Yeah, they kept saying don't make a story where there isn't

00:23:29.920 They were the ones who told me

00:23:30.920 Are you guys with the Ukraine pavilion?

00:23:33.920 Do you speak any English?

00:23:34.920 Speak a little English?

00:23:35.920 A little bit

00:23:37.920 When is this open?

00:23:38.920 Is this open tomorrow?

00:23:39.920 I think it's tomorrow open

00:23:41.920 But today, no way

00:23:44.920 Still setting it up?

00:23:46.920 Yeah

00:23:47.920 Yeah

00:23:48.920 So is the President Zelensky speaking here?

00:23:51.920 Yeah

00:23:52.920 What day is that?

00:23:53.920 We don't know

00:23:54.920 Up to tomorrow

00:23:55.920 We are not from here

00:23:56.920 Wait, wait

00:23:57.920 Are you just the local folks, are you?

00:23:58.920 Yes

00:23:59.920 Okay

00:24:00.920 Do you know that it's our city?

00:24:02.920 You know that?

00:24:03.920 What do you mean it's your city?

00:24:04.920 Our city

00:24:05.920 It's our city

00:24:08.920 We try to make

00:24:12.920 A broadcast

00:24:15.920 Piece

00:24:16.920 Okay, you're trying to make a broadcast

00:24:18.920 All right

00:24:19.920 We're walking here

00:24:20.920 We're sorry

00:24:21.920 You are asking our people

00:24:23.920 You're the only one in the world

00:24:25.920 No, that's not true

00:24:26.920 I tell you

00:24:27.920 They're not used to citizen journalists, are they?

00:24:29.920 They're used to everything handled by PR firms

00:24:32.920 And...

00:24:33.920 I've never seen somebody get so upset about

00:24:35.920 Like, walking into a set that I didn't know was a set

00:24:39.920 Interesting

00:24:40.920 Oh, because it's all set up

00:24:43.920 I'm understanding now

00:24:45.920 They've set up a shot

00:24:47.920 Got it

00:24:48.920 So those were like actors

00:24:49.920 They're always actors

00:24:50.920 Okay

00:24:51.920 How fitting

00:24:52.920 It's still a little bit of building going on around us

00:24:54.920 Here's lots of lumber

00:24:56.920 Hi, how are you?

00:24:57.920 See you again

00:24:58.920 Thank you

00:24:59.920 Yeah, nice to see you

00:25:00.920 I remember we had a great chat last year

00:25:02.920 Did you see the videos we made?

00:25:03.920 You made a lot of noise

00:25:05.920 Very good

00:25:06.920 But you know, 53 years after the WEF was founded

00:25:10.920 They have 75 million children working in their supply chains

00:25:14.920 This is absolutely unacceptable

00:25:16.920 And we have high officials from the government of Canada

00:25:20.920 Like the Deputy Prime Minister, Christian Finland

00:25:24.920 Who's a member of the board of the World Economic Forum

00:25:27.920 And this is something important

00:25:30.920 You know, this is Fernando Morales de la Cruz

00:25:32.920 Who we met exactly a year ago

00:25:34.920 When we were doing the same walk

00:25:35.920 And you introduced yourself to us

00:25:37.920 And you had riveting and terrifying and heartbreaking stories

00:25:40.920 About child trafficking

00:25:42.920 And I thought, this is the right place to be

00:25:44.920 Because a lot of the people here are complicit

00:25:46.920 Well, they are profiting from the exploitation of 75 million children in their supply chains

00:25:51.920 And I'm actually being conservative in the figure

00:25:53.920 The problem is that many of these companies have business models

00:25:57.920 That have actually increased misery, hunger, malnutrition and child labour

00:26:00.920 And some of these companies are even Canadian

00:26:02.920 And of course, we have the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan

00:26:05.920 Which is a shareholder in Barry Calibout

00:26:08.920 The largest cocoa processing company

00:26:10.920 And they are profiting also from child labour by investing in such a company

00:26:14.920 And I'm sure the Ontario Teachers are honest people

00:26:17.920 But the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan should not be doing this kind of investments

00:26:21.920 Yeah

00:26:22.920 Well, I'm absolutely delighted to see you here again

00:26:24.920 Me too

00:26:25.920 And you're proof that not every

00:26:27.920 There are people here who come to speak truth to power

00:26:30.920 And I put you in that category

00:26:32.920 Yeah, I'm outside of the web

00:26:33.920 Yeah, us too

00:26:34.920 All right, well, nice to see

00:26:35.920 Thanks for coming over to say hello

00:26:36.920 My pleasure

00:26:37.920 I'm flattered that you remembered us from last year

00:26:38.920 You are unforgettable

00:26:39.920 Especially because here you are one of those good birds

00:26:42.920 In the middle of all of this dangerous

00:26:45.920 Well, you're very nice to see Fernando

00:26:47.920 Thank you very much

00:26:48.920 Thank you very much

00:26:55.920 So you've got a battle between real journals

00:26:58.920 I have no idea if the Davidsort Zeitung is left wing or right wing

00:27:02.920 What I know is it doesn't really matter

00:27:04.920 Because AI, machine learning, big data, Facebook

00:27:09.920 Companies that we don't even know their names

00:27:11.920 Are seeking to monitor, filter, boost or throttle

00:27:16.920 Every single comment in the world about politics

00:27:21.920 And not just misinformation and disinformation

00:27:24.920 Klaus Schwab himself talks about AI replacing elections altogether

00:27:29.920 There was an incredible clip of him saying

00:27:32.920 We should be able to detect what the people want

00:27:34.920 And AI can give us the result

00:27:36.920 It was just shocking

00:27:37.920 You do not even have to have elections anymore

00:27:39.920 Because you can already predict what predict

00:27:44.920 And afterwards you can say

00:27:46.920 Why do we need elections?

00:27:48.920 Because we know what the result will be

00:27:50.920 The thing about the World Economic Forum

00:27:52.920 Is they really are a conspiracy theorist's worst dream come true

00:27:58.920 But if you just point to what they're saying

00:28:00.920 The regime media says

00:28:01.920 Oh no, no, that's a conspiracy theory

00:28:03.920 No, Klaus Schwab said that

00:28:05.920 It's not hiding it

00:28:06.920 And I think it's important to note this time

00:28:09.920 You know, last time we came here last year

00:28:11.920 In fact, the last two years I think

00:28:12.920 There was a big focus on climate change

00:28:15.920 You saw every single branding was about climate change

00:28:18.920 In one way or another

00:28:19.920 This time it's different

00:28:21.920 Is that they're regaining trust, I guess

00:28:23.920 Are they pulling away from the climate?

00:28:25.920 I doubt it

00:28:26.920 Because they're still talking about

00:28:28.920 Inflation and poverty

00:28:30.920 People aren't buying climate change as much this year

00:28:32.920 As they were last year

00:28:33.920 And this year it looks like the focus is AI

00:28:36.920 Is that the natural progression?

00:28:37.920 Is it because that's where they want to go?

00:28:39.920 I don't know

00:28:40.920 But you're seeing it everywhere

00:28:41.920 And they're talking about trustworthy

00:28:42.920 We'll see in a minute

00:28:43.920 Trustworthy AI

00:28:44.920 Do I trust these guys here

00:28:46.920 With anything, let alone artificial intelligence?

00:28:48.920 No, bloody way

00:28:49.920 What about you, Ezra?

00:28:51.920 You know, I completely don't

00:28:54.920 I'm terrified that anyone like Klaus Schwab

00:28:56.920 Or his muse, Yuval Noah Harari

00:28:59.920 He's the guy who said the future for most people

00:29:01.920 Is just doing nothing

00:29:03.920 Video games and drugs

00:29:05.920 He called people useless people

00:29:07.920 I think that the biggest question

00:29:09.920 Maybe in economics and politics

00:29:11.920 Of the coming decades

00:29:12.920 Will be what to do

00:29:14.920 With all these useless people

00:29:16.920 Problem is more boredom

00:29:19.920 And what to do with them

00:29:21.920 And how will they find some sense of meaning in life

00:29:23.920 When they are basically meaningless, worthless

00:29:27.920 My best guess at present

00:29:29.920 Is a combination of drugs and computer games

00:29:33.920 And that's the future they see for us

00:29:35.920 But let me point out something

00:29:36.920 You and I are here as citizen journalists

00:29:37.920 We caused a bit of a freak out at the Black Rock

00:29:39.920 We caused a bit of a freak out here and there

00:29:41.920 You're exaggerating

00:29:42.920 You were just for your safety

00:29:44.920 They had to move us on

00:29:45.920 We didn't want to get run out

00:29:46.920 You see the Financial Times

00:29:47.920 Obviously a very prestigious newspaper in London

00:29:50.920 And across the street there

00:29:51.920 Axios

00:29:52.920 Do you see that?

00:29:53.920 That's a very large funded

00:29:55.920 I think one of the founders of Microsoft

00:29:57.920 If I'm not mistaken

00:29:58.920 Basically created that as a hobby publisher

00:30:01.920 And as we walk in further and further

00:30:03.920 We will see media

00:30:05.920 Wall Street Journal, CNN

00:30:07.920 And so you might be saying

00:30:09.920 Ezra you said that there was no media scrutiny of this

00:30:12.920 What are you talking about?

00:30:13.920 There's journalists everywhere

00:30:14.920 But here's my point

00:30:15.920 To get that access

00:30:17.920 To get this access

00:30:18.920 To have these pavilions

00:30:20.920 To be part of the insider team

00:30:23.920 These media companies have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars

00:30:27.920 To buy in

00:30:29.920 So they are not here to bury

00:30:32.920 They're here to praise

00:30:33.920 They are here on the inside

00:30:36.920 And that's why people like Albert Bourla

00:30:39.920 Love Davos

00:30:40.920 Because every single question he's ever been asked in his life

00:30:43.920 Is being a friendly softball

00:30:44.920 To provide

00:30:45.920 And so the citizen journalists like us

00:30:48.920 And there's maybe a handful of others here

00:30:50.920 That's

00:30:51.920 We're deeply hated by the Davos elite

00:30:54.920 If they even think about us

00:30:56.920 Because we didn't pay money to be here

00:30:58.920 And we're not here to suck up and to make friends

00:31:01.920 We're here to shine a light of scrutiny on what they're doing

00:31:04.920 Absolutely

00:31:05.920 Unlike Financial Times, Axios

00:31:07.920 And we've done that in the last two visits that we've been here

00:31:11.920 We've even confronted the mainstream media

00:31:14.920 In fact, one of these cafes right here

00:31:16.920 Was where I met the editor of the New York Times

00:31:19.920 And then the next time the CNBC

00:31:22.920 Who then later, if you recall, threatened to bash me

00:31:25.920 But they are certainly a part of what's going on here

00:31:29.920 They're either paying to be here or they're invited as well

00:31:32.920 To speak and to run

00:31:34.920 They're not asking any critical questions

00:31:36.920 Here's the Equality Lounge

00:31:37.920 We went in there last year

00:31:38.920 And the good thing about the Equality Lounge

00:31:40.920 Is you've got billionaires

00:31:41.920 And maybe the odd trillionaires showing up

00:31:43.920 In the private jets and the private helicopters

00:31:45.920 And you can't get a hotel in this town

00:31:48.920 Because they booked them up a year in advance

00:31:50.920 We're staying a town away

00:31:52.920 And we're spending thousands of dollars a night

00:31:54.920 But hey, don't forget guys

00:31:55.920 It's about equality

00:31:56.920 We're all in this together

00:31:58.920 J.P. Morgan

00:32:01.920 J.P. Morgan, hi

00:32:03.920 Manfred, how you doing?

00:32:04.920 Oh, you're with CNBC

00:32:07.920 Nice to meet you

00:32:08.920 I'm Ezra Levant

00:32:09.920 That's my friend Abiyamini

00:32:10.920 Nice to meet you

00:32:11.920 You look like you've given up already

00:32:13.920 No, you haven't?

00:32:14.920 No, you haven't?

00:32:15.920 What are you doing for CNBC?

00:32:17.920 I'm actually doing a lot of stuff

00:32:19.920 I'm actually bringing the last couple of networks over here

00:32:23.920 Along with my editorial coverage on business

00:32:25.920 And global leaders conversations

00:32:27.920 But majorly on healthcare, sanitation and water

00:32:32.920 Are you staying in Davos itself?

00:32:35.920 Yep

00:32:36.920 You were booked in by your company obviously

00:32:38.920 Yeah

00:32:39.920 I bet it's nice to stay here in the city

00:32:42.920 So basically we have our studio in Congress Center

00:32:46.920 Right

00:32:47.920 So we do our programming from there

00:32:48.920 And a variety of other conversations from various launches

00:32:51.920 Good

00:32:52.920 Well, it's nice to meet you

00:32:53.920 I'm just excited about equality

00:32:56.920 Yeah, especially McKinsey & Company

00:32:58.920 Yeah

00:32:59.920 And J.P. Morgan, one of the richest men in the world

00:33:01.920 Yeah, I just have a real strong equality vibe here

00:33:05.920 Yeah

00:33:06.920 I think they are really making noise

00:33:08.920 Since last year we saw this

00:33:10.920 And I think two last summer

00:33:13.920 When the summer Davos happened

00:33:14.920 That's when first they made actually

00:33:17.920 Mark in Davos

00:33:18.920 And last year they kind of made it much bigger

00:33:20.920 By getting Deloitte and other big partners

00:33:22.920 But this year you see the names are actually going up and up

00:33:26.920 All right, well listen, good luck in the days ahead

00:33:36.920 All races, all gender expressions, all gender identities, all ages, all religions, all sexual orientations, all cultures, all abilities and all mindsets

00:33:45.920 Then those bigots left out all species

00:33:51.920 How dare these bigots be so species centred?

00:33:56.920 I am full of rage

00:33:58.920 We are here

00:34:00.920 We are here

00:34:01.920 Ezra Levan

00:34:02.920 We

00:34:04.920 WEFreports.com

00:34:05.920 We actually

00:34:06.920 I would

00:34:07.920 It's called the Congress

00:34:08.920 This is where it all happens

00:34:09.920 So those clips that you see that comes from in there

00:34:12.920 There's a lot of little rooms in there where all the secret meetings also happen that you don't see on camera

00:34:17.920 That is the house of evil

00:34:20.920 Yeah, and again, even there there's different layers

00:34:23.920 There's the sanctum sanctorum, the very inner sanctum

00:34:27.920 That would be where Klaus Schwab and people like Larry Fink and Christopher Freeland have their private confabs with the Bill Gateses and the George Soros

00:34:36.920 Those are off the record

00:34:38.920 Unlike if some of those meetings were to happen in Washington DC or Ottawa, Canada

00:34:43.920 There's no lobbyist registry here

00:34:45.920 There's no disclosure or transparency

00:34:47.920 There's no access to information requests

00:34:49.920 What is done in Davos stays in Davos

00:34:52.920 There are certain things that they want to show the world

00:34:55.920 And so certain things are live streamed

00:34:57.920 And those are crazy enough

00:34:58.920 As shocking as they are

00:35:00.920 Yeah

00:35:01.920 But I think the reason why people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to come here as official guests and with pavilions

00:35:09.920 Is because there's so much dirty money and so many dirty deals done here

00:35:16.920 It's really unrivaled that way

00:35:18.920 I mean the United Nations obviously there's a lot of politics and diplomacy and national security and military stuff

00:35:24.920 But this is where the black box of the world and the McKinsey's of the world do their commerce

00:35:30.920 Beyond the eyesight of the SEC or the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the Foreign Agent Registration Act

00:35:38.920 This is basically a parallel crypto government

00:35:42.920 And people always say, oh, when they

00:35:45.920 Just because the World Economic Forum says you're going to eat bugs

00:35:49.920 Or you're going to own nothing

00:35:51.920 And you're going to like it

00:35:53.920 People say, well, that's not binding

00:35:55.920 No, but it's certainly persuasive

00:35:57.920 For example, in Canada's case

00:35:59.920 If you've got the Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland

00:36:01.920 Listening to all this build back better, great reset, eat bugs stuff

00:36:06.920 And then she goes back to Canada

00:36:08.920 And it pops up as Canadian policy

00:36:10.920 Yeah, the final decision I suppose was made in Ottawa

00:36:13.920 But the laboratory for the bad ideas is here

00:36:17.920 This is a bad ideas laboratory

00:36:19.920 That is being pumped through the arteries of the world into every country

00:36:24.920 That's why I'm worried about learning that India has teamed up with Bill Gates on some project

00:36:30.920 Because Bill Gates is not a selfless man

00:36:32.920 In fact, he visited Jeffrey Epstein literally dozens of times

00:36:37.920 He's a diabolical man

00:36:39.920 Even after

00:36:40.920 Yeah

00:36:41.920 And so to learn that Bill Gates is involved

00:36:43.920 That's the poison in the World Economic Forum

00:36:45.920 And it's not just coming into Western Europe and America

00:36:48.920 It's being pumped into these developing countries too

00:36:53.920 As of tomorrow, this will be the closest we get to the inner sanctum

00:36:58.920 That's literally going to be like a prison watchtower up there

00:37:02.920 Where I presume they have facial recognition cameras and all sorts of things

00:37:06.920 You can see, as you pointed out, there's no entry now

00:37:09.920 Yeah, that's right

00:37:12.920 So this will be off limits to us tomorrow

00:37:17.920 Well, that's it for our walk along the promenade in Davos

00:37:21.920 You know, you can see it being transformed in front of your eyes

00:37:24.920 From this beautiful ski town high in the Swiss Alps

00:37:27.920 To a propaganda engine

00:37:29.920 Where storefronts are literally being posted over by different lobby groups

00:37:34.920 And AI groups and regime media

00:37:38.920 It's quite something to behold

00:37:40.920 By tomorrow though, this place will be ready for prime time

00:37:44.920 And this sign behind us that says no entry

00:37:47.920 Well, that's going to apply to us

00:37:49.920 Because Avi and I have been denied accreditation

00:37:52.920 I wrote to the World Economic Forum this year

00:37:54.920 I said, look, we're coming

00:37:55.920 And we're going to do stories about you no matter what

00:37:57.920 Why don't you let us in

00:37:58.920 So you can at least engage with us

00:38:00.920 And tell us your side of the story

00:38:02.920 We're going to be there anyways

00:38:03.920 Why not have some input?

00:38:05.920 They refused even to acknowledge it

00:38:06.920 Look, they don't want outside voices

00:38:08.920 They want people who are compliant with the narrative

00:38:11.920 That's why tomorrow will be no entry

00:38:14.920 Now, Avi, this is your third time at Davos

00:38:16.920 So you're the old hand

00:38:18.920 This is actually going to be the hotspot for us tomorrow

00:38:21.920 This is our HQ right here

00:38:23.920 This is where, you know, anyone that's anybody needs to actually go

00:38:28.920 Whether they want to visit something in the promenade

00:38:30.920 Or they want to go to their vehicles

00:38:33.920 This is the other side that has the hotels

00:38:34.920 But this is the side that they all come to

00:38:36.920 And proudly wear their tags

00:38:38.920 That lets us know who exactly they are

00:38:41.920 And allows us to put those questions that they're never used to getting

00:38:46.920 So I'm really excited about a great week

00:38:48.920 And I think the viewers can follow all the stories

00:38:51.920 Share all the stories at wefreports.com

00:38:55.920 And I think it's also important to remind our most loyal viewers

00:38:58.920 That this wasn't a cheap thing for us to come

00:39:02.920 No, we didn't pay the hundreds of thousands to have a pop-up storefront

00:39:07.920 But it still cost us just to be here Ezra

00:39:09.920 The flights, just for me and Benji

00:39:11.920 To come from Australia was almost $5,000

00:39:13.920 Yeah

00:39:14.920 Then on top of that, all the Canadian teams

00:39:16.920 So the other four

00:39:17.920 Yeah

00:39:18.920 Plus the accommodation

00:39:19.920 The shocking thing is the accommodation

00:39:20.920 Every hotel in Davos is booked up every Airbnb

00:39:24.920 So we're staying an entire town away

00:39:26.920 But still prices there are

00:39:28.920 In fact, the place we're staying

00:39:29.920 The guy puts it for sale just one week a year

00:39:31.920 Because he knows he'll make more money in that one week

00:39:34.920 Selling to someone who wants to be here

00:39:36.920 That almost covers rent for the year

00:39:37.920 It's insane

00:39:38.920 But that's the only way we can be here

00:39:40.920 Without spending two hours each way in travel time

00:39:43.920 And I don't want to do that

00:39:44.920 Because I want to spend the time reporting, editing, putting out content

00:39:48.920 And we don't know who we're going to get

00:39:51.920 Last year we didn't know we were going to find Albert Bourla

00:39:53.920 Until we stumbled upon him

00:39:54.920 We didn't know we were going to get Greta

00:39:55.920 Until we bumped into her

00:39:57.920 So there are national presidents here

00:39:59.920 There's bank presidents

00:40:01.920 There's big tech presidents

00:40:03.920 And we're going to try and catch them in this fishing area here tomorrow

00:40:07.920 But please help us out

00:40:08.920 This is the largest financial expenditure

00:40:10.920 Rebel News makes in any journalistic mission of the year

00:40:13.920 Because prices are so jacked up for the World Economic Forum

00:40:17.920 So please go to WEFReports.com

00:40:20.920 Whether it's $5 or $50 or $500

00:40:22.920 We need the help because I want to keep doing it

00:40:24.920 Let me put it this way

00:40:26.920 If we're not going to ask these questions, who will?

00:40:28.920 I'll tell you one thing

00:40:30.920 It won't be the CBC State Broadcaster

00:40:32.920 We'll see you at WEFReports.com

00:40:43.920 It's going to be hard, exhausting work for Ezra and the entire Rebel News team

00:40:55.920 That are right now over in Davos, Switzerland

00:40:58.920 Covering the World Economic Forum

00:41:00.920 If you'd like to see more of their work and support that trip

00:41:03.920 You can go to WEFReports.com

00:41:07.920 But besides being hard work, it's kind of fun, right?

00:41:10.920 Like it is fun sometimes to not be liked by very bad people

00:41:18.920 You know, it's kind of good

00:41:21.920 You feel like you're on the right side of something when bad people don't like you

00:41:25.920 And sometimes it's fun to be the skunk at the garden party

00:41:28.920 Upsetting their little apple cart

00:41:31.920 And it's an incredible opportunity

00:41:33.920 And I think a huge responsibility to take the concerns of the public of Canada

00:41:41.920 But I think also from North America and of course Australia

00:41:44.920 Over to Davos

00:41:46.920 To hold the powerful to account on behalf of the people

00:41:50.920 And I know that's what Ezra and the team are going to do while they're over there

00:41:54.920 Now, if we are publishing a video

00:41:57.920 If we're publishing a news article

00:41:59.920 You're writing us letters and you're leaving us comments

00:42:02.920 You can do that here on one of these

00:42:04.920 But you can also do that on YouTube, Rumble

00:42:08.920 Anywhere that you're finding our content

00:42:10.920 Leave a comment over there

00:42:12.920 We welcome them

00:42:14.920 We want to hear from you

00:42:15.920 Because without you, there's no rebel news

00:42:17.920 Without you, there's no ability for us to do these huge trips

00:42:23.920 Over to places like Davos

00:42:25.920 Where we can put some tough questions to the bad guys

00:42:29.920 That they definitely weren't expecting in their little safe space over there

00:42:34.920 Now, today's letters

00:42:36.920 We've got one to Ezra on his interview with Lorne Gunter

00:42:41.920 One of the good guys at Post Media

00:42:44.920 On Danielle Smith's Canada is Broken video

00:42:48.920 In which she goes off on Environment Minister Steven Gobo's anti-Alberta policies

00:42:55.920 Kevin9106 writes

00:42:57.920 Today, Alberta is hovering at minus 40 below Celsius

00:43:02.920 Just minus 40?

00:43:03.920 Where are you living?

00:43:05.920 Where are you living that you're getting such nice weather?

00:43:08.920 It's way colder for us out here in the rural parts

00:43:11.920 Anyway, our power grid is nearly exhausted

00:43:14.920 An emergency broadcast was sent out asking consumers to unplug vehicle block heaters

00:43:19.920 Do not charge electric vehicles

00:43:21.920 Could you imagine trying to use an electric vehicle

00:43:24.920 When it's like sub minus 44, minus 53 with the wind chill

00:43:28.920 And try to conserve electricity as much as possible

00:43:31.920 Smith has warned us and our clueless federal government

00:43:34.920 That green energy may sound good

00:43:36.920 But doesn't cut it during long cold spells in the middle of winter

00:43:41.920 And here we are now

00:43:42.920 So, where is the power to come from for all these electric vehicles in the future?

00:43:47.920 It takes years to plan and years to build new power stations

00:43:51.920 These are excellent points

00:43:53.920 And this is something that our friends at Friends of Science

00:43:56.920 Have been sounding the alarm bells on for a very long time

00:43:59.920 We don't have the grid right now

00:44:03.920 To support the drastic shift to electric vehicles

00:44:08.920 That the federal government not only wants

00:44:11.920 But are also mandating I think by 2035

00:44:15.920 That all new vehicles must be net zero

00:44:18.920 We don't have the capacity on a good day

00:44:23.920 Now, put in on top of that

00:44:25.920 The fact that the feds won't let us use coal

00:44:28.920 They don't want us to use natural gas

00:44:32.920 They think we can just get by on wind and solar

00:44:36.920 Which is impossible

00:44:37.920 You are going to see rolling brownouts

00:44:40.920 As a matter of just the course of business in Alberta going forward

00:44:48.920 And the most ironic part of all of this is

00:44:51.920 The feds don't want us to use coal here in Alberta

00:44:54.920 And thanks to the NDP Liberal Coalition

00:44:56.920 That ran the show here for dark, dark years

00:45:00.920 Under Rachel Notley as Premier

00:45:03.920 When we have these sorts of power grid potential crises

00:45:10.920 Just looming

00:45:11.920 You know what we do?

00:45:13.920 We buy coal-fired generation

00:45:17.920 At a premium from our good friends in Wyoming

00:45:21.920 So we are not allowed to use our affordable clean burning coal

00:45:25.920 We have about 800 years of which under our feet

00:45:28.920 And I really mean under our feet

00:45:30.920 You can sort of pick it out of the ground in some places

00:45:32.920 It comes out of the riverbeds

00:45:34.920 It's so close to the surface

00:45:36.920 And so easily accessible

00:45:37.920 And some of the most clean burning coal on the face of the earth

00:45:40.920 We're not allowed to use it

00:45:42.920 To produce electricity

00:45:44.920 And also create jobs here in Alberta

00:45:47.920 But if we are in a power grid episode

00:45:50.920 As we've seen the last little bit

00:45:52.920 We just buy coal-fired electricity

00:45:57.920 At a premium I might add

00:45:59.920 From our good friends in Wyoming

00:46:00.920 So we're not getting off coal

00:46:02.920 We're just getting off our coal

00:46:04.920 And I guess getting off the jobs that go along with it

00:46:08.920 Let's keep going

00:46:09.920 That was a great, great comment

00:46:11.920 Leslie Ross, 9729

00:46:13.920 Trudeau likes to deal with provinces and cities separately

00:46:16.920 And divide them

00:46:17.920 The premiers and mayors are letting him away with it

00:46:19.920 Canada needs to stick together

00:46:20.920 No, I have

00:46:22.920 I'm of two minds here

00:46:24.920 The provinces, particularly the prairie provinces

00:46:27.920 And the territories

00:46:29.920 And, you know, like

00:46:33.920 Some other jurisdictions across the country too

00:46:35.920 On many issues

00:46:37.920 From the carbon tax to parents' rights

00:46:39.920 Are sticking together

00:46:41.920 The cog in the wheel

00:46:46.920 Of that unity

00:46:48.920 Across the prairies

00:46:50.920 But also across the country

00:46:52.920 On several contentious issues

00:46:54.920 And they're not really all that contentious

00:46:56.920 They're contentious in that the liberals

00:46:58.920 Disagree with common sense on these issues

00:47:00.920 Is the fact that

00:47:02.920 Our cities are generally led by radical progressives

00:47:09.920 It is the case in Calgary

00:47:11.920 With G.O.D. Gondek

00:47:12.920 It is definitely the case in Edmonton

00:47:14.920 With Trudeau's

00:47:16.920 Former Natural Resources Minister

00:47:18.920 Emmerjit Sohi being in charge

00:47:20.920 It's the case in Toronto

00:47:21.920 It's the case in Montreal

00:47:22.920 It's the case in Vancouver

00:47:24.920 I believe it's the case in Regina

00:47:26.920 It

00:47:29.920 The moral of the story though here is

00:47:32.920 If we want things to change

00:47:35.920 We need to, as conservatives

00:47:37.920 And I say small c conservatives

00:47:39.920 I'm non-partisan on this issue

00:47:41.920 But if you care about

00:47:43.920 Common sense, personal responsibility

00:47:44.920 Fiscal accountability

00:47:45.920 And the right for you to determine

00:47:48.920 The way in which you want to raise your kids

00:47:50.920 With your own values

00:47:51.920 Then conservatives have to start paying to politics

00:47:55.920 Paying attention to politics closer to home

00:47:57.920 So we have to pay attention to what happens at the school boards

00:48:02.920 All these crazy gender theory nonsense issues

00:48:05.920 That's happening at a school board level

00:48:08.920 Imagine if we had a bunch of conservatives on the school board

00:48:11.920 Instead of not paying attention

00:48:12.920 And then progressives get elected

00:48:14.920 And you're like what on earth are they teaching my children

00:48:17.920 You had a say

00:48:19.920 You just didn't take it at the school board election

00:48:22.920 Municipal politics

00:48:24.920 We need more conservatives

00:48:28.920 At the municipal level

00:48:29.920 Serving as a counterbalance

00:48:30.920 To the NDP farm team

00:48:34.920 That city councils have turned out to be

00:48:37.920 I mean I think I can count on my hand

00:48:40.920 Three fingers maybe

00:48:42.920 The loose conservatives

00:48:46.920 On Calgary city council

00:48:48.920 Like Dan McClain

00:48:50.920 Sean Chu

00:48:51.920 I mean basically that's it

00:48:53.920 Sorry I said three

00:48:54.920 But I can really only name two off the top of my head

00:48:56.920 That's a real problem

00:48:58.920 If you

00:48:59.920 And those are the politics that affect you first

00:49:02.920 Because they're closer to you

00:49:03.920 The good news is

00:49:05.920 Those are the politics that if you organize

00:49:07.920 Even just friends and family

00:49:09.920 You can make a big difference there

00:49:14.920 Net zero is impossible and unnecessary

00:49:17.920 Be the first politician to say that

00:49:19.920 Enough of this madness

00:49:21.920 Yes

00:49:23.920 If you need a cold snap of sub minus 45

00:49:30.920 To teach you about net zero

00:49:32.920 I'm happy to suffer through it

00:49:34.920 But let this be the last time we have to learn this lesson

00:49:39.920 There's no way that net zero is achievable

00:49:44.920 And it's not even necessary

00:49:46.920 And also again

00:49:48.920 I go back to my friends at Friends of Science

00:49:50.920 They've also pointed out

00:49:51.920 Look if you are for net zero

00:49:56.920 And if you are worried about Canada's carbon emissions

00:50:00.920 And I'm not worried about neither one of those things

00:50:02.920 But the left won't shut up about it

00:50:04.920 Then really they should be against absolute out of control immigration

00:50:12.920 From the warmer parts of the world

00:50:14.920 Why?

00:50:15.920 Because you're importing people

00:50:16.920 From equatorial places

00:50:19.920 Where renewables work

00:50:21.920 Wind and solar work

00:50:22.920 Sort of the closer you get to the equator

00:50:24.920 And like the days and nights are sort of equal

00:50:28.920 As opposed to the five and a half hours of daylight we get here

00:50:34.920 In the darkest recesses of winter

00:50:38.920 And it's brutally cold now

00:50:40.920 But like generally in the winter

00:50:42.920 Every couple of weeks we're just like

00:50:43.920 Oh big deep freeze again

00:50:46.920 You should be concerned

00:50:48.920 Because you are taking people with a lower carbon footprint

00:50:51.920 And stuffing them into a country

00:50:53.920 Where they are going to have a higher carbon footprint

00:50:56.920 And like if you care about net zero

00:51:00.920 And the liberals tell me they do

00:51:02.920 They might want to rethink some of their

00:51:04.920 Out of control immigration policies

00:51:08.920 Or all of their policies in general

00:51:11.920 But introspection is not something the left is all that great at

00:51:17.920 Well everybody that's the show for tonight
