The World Economic Forum says you should get used to being unhappy. What does that have to do with the pursuit of happiness? And why should others go to jail when you're the biggest carbon consumer in the world? Why should others be jailed when you won't give them an answer?

Hello, my rebels. If you think the World Economic Forum was crazy, you know, those are the people
00:00:04.640
who say you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. Those folks, they've got a new thing. You won't
00:00:10.640
be happy at all. Being sad is the new happy. You think I'm making it up. I am not making it up.
00:00:16.920
I will prove it to you. Trouble is, some of the evidence I'm going to show you is video only.
00:00:23.200
And there's no words in it. It's just images. And I wish you could see it because I think
00:00:29.020

00:00:32.900
the medium. And I'd like to invite you to get the video version of this podcast by going to

It's only eight bucks a month, half the price of Netflix and the satisfaction that you're helping
00:00:51.540
keep Rebel News afloat. We don't take a dime from the government. And in today's case, you really
00:00:57.360
need to see what the World Economic Forum says with your eyes, because they don't say it.
00:01:02.940
They show it. Anyways, you'll still enjoy the podcast, I'm sure. Here it is.
00:01:14.900
Tonight, the World Economic Forum says you should get used to being unhappy. It's October 25th,
00:01:34.740
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:38.440
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:42.520
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:48.380
One of the most famous lines in the U.S. Declaration of Independence is in the preamble. I'm a Canadian,
00:02:00.580
and so are most viewers of this show, but I know you know it. We hold these truths to be
00:02:06.920
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain
00:02:11.900
unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You've
00:02:18.940
heard that. Just turn that over in your mind for a little bit. You don't just have the right
00:02:23.940
to life and to liberty, which really means to be left alone, to do your thing. It's a kind of
00:02:29.420
negative freedom, freedom from. Free speech is freedom from censorship. Freedom of mobility is
00:02:35.940
the freedom from being stopped, right? All of these things are under attack by the government
00:02:41.400
right now, by the way. But that last part there, the pursuit of happiness, that's a positive right.
00:02:49.020
You're allowed to go out there and find your own path to pursue happiness. It's incredible,
00:02:54.760
actually. Imagine putting that in your Declaration of Independence. It's rather poetic.
00:03:00.180
You have the right to be happy, and that's because you were meant to be happy, or more precisely,
00:03:05.880
to pursue happiness. You're not guaranteed you'll find it. No one can guarantee you will be happy.
00:03:11.400
But you can try to get there on your own pursuit. You've got to admit, that's so great. We don't
00:03:18.680
have that kind of talk in our nation's primary documents, but our Constitution includes the word
00:03:25.160
lumber, wood chips, and sawdust. Did you know that? So take that, you happiness-pursuing Americans.
00:03:31.520
Does your Constitution talk about sawdust? Ours does. Well, the U.S. Constitution is falling out of
00:03:37.820
favor with the masters of the universe. The First Amendment in their Bill of Rights, freedom of
00:03:43.140
speech, freedom of religion, that sort of thing. Well, they're trying to get rid of that up here in
00:03:47.420
Canada. We don't have the Bill of Rights, so we're not as protected. We're about to see the new
00:03:52.680
internet censorship laws introduced. They're doing that in the United Kingdom, too. On the freedom of
00:03:59.220
religion side, you can see that they're arresting pastors in Canada almost every week now,
00:04:05.040
because pastors obey a higher power than Justin Trudeau and Teresa Tam, and that can't be allowed.
00:04:11.960
The U.K. hasn't arrested pastors, but they're certainly going to ban the internet. Censorship,
00:04:17.940
but this story today, I got you a crazier story. The World Economic Forum, that's the globalist lobby
00:04:26.720
group based in Davos, Switzerland. They're literally campaigning against happiness itself. I'm serious.
00:04:35.040
These are the people, you will recall, who tell you that in the future, you're going to own nothing,
00:04:41.960
and you're going to love it. I'm serious. They say this. They promote this. They're also the folks
00:04:47.520
telling you to stop eating meat and to start eating bugs instead, as if those billionaires when they meet
00:04:54.380
in Davos don't eat and drink whatever they want, and it ain't bugs. But look at this. This is new.
00:04:59.960
This is a new level of crazy, even for them. Fear, anger, and sadness are natural emotions,
00:05:07.220
and we should embrace them too. Embrace fear. Embrace anger and sadness. The U.S. Declaration
00:05:14.240
of Independence promised you the right to pursue happiness. The globalists in 2021 are telling you
00:05:20.540
to embrace fear, anger, and sadness, and eating bugs and owning nothing. They've even invented a new
00:05:27.240
phrase, toxic positivity, as if being hopeful and happy and positive and optimistic is toxic. And of
00:05:35.320
course, we know what we do to toxic things. We ban them. We fight against them. We denounce them.
00:05:40.780
We've been doing that to toxic masculinity for a decade now. Being happy is what's next to be
00:05:46.660
attacked. Here, watch a little bit. They put together this video. Oh, psychologists are saying
00:05:53.220
that. Really? Who? Some crackpot somewhere? The same person who tells us that owning nothing will
00:05:58.840
make us happy? Why are you referring to some authority? Psychologists say, stop lying. This
00:06:05.660
is a political agenda. There's no science here. Then they say, sure, being happy might sound nice,
00:06:12.700
but it's actually a mask. It's false. It's a lie. And it covers up problems. Don't be happy.
00:06:18.760
Don't be happy. That's evil. Don't be happy. That's cruel. Don't be happy. You're actually a
00:06:24.600
mean person. So when you pretend to be happy, that's a lie. It's toxic. And if you're not wallowing
00:06:32.440
around enough in grievance and being sorry, get on it. It's like what we've done to Canada as a
00:06:38.160
country, permanently flying our flag at half mast. We should be ashamed, not patriotic as a country.
00:06:44.940
Now they want to do that to you too, personally. Only a liar would be happy. Only a deceiver because
00:06:51.800
things are awful. And if you're happy, it's just a mask. Imagine condemning someone for trying to
00:06:59.980
cheer up a friend, for saying, hey, look on the bright side. Why the hell would anyone give such
00:07:05.580
awful advice? Telling someone not to cheer up a friend? Why would anyone try and rebrand being happy
00:07:12.200
as actually being evil? Is it so there's no difference anymore between good and bad, happy
00:07:17.340
and sad? Is it to make being evil the new happy, being negative the new positive? You have to be
00:07:24.220
sad to grow. Otherwise, you're shallow, they say. Look at this. They say the internet is too happy,
00:07:32.120
too positive. I've never heard that before. I mean, on Twitter, it's nothing but negativity. No,
00:07:37.560
no, no, no. It's too happy. Why would they say that? Well, of course, to license the state, to crack
00:07:43.600
down on the internet, to silence the voices they don't like. Take a look at this.
00:07:51.660
So you have to be sad to be happy. Being sad keeps you safe. Being sad and stressed and depressed will
00:07:57.980
take care of you. Don't you know, we have some psychologist who says so, and we wouldn't lie to
00:08:04.200
you, would we? Why would they say all this? Well, it's the new dreary future. Trump said,
00:08:13.440
make America great again. He was an optimist. And in many ways, he did make America great. A great
00:08:18.580
economy, lots of confidence, strong foreign policy. Joe Biden is like Jimmy Carter. He's
00:08:25.040
managing an economy in decline, rampant inflation, disastrous exit in Afghanistan, supply change,
00:08:33.620
chain crisis. And here's the Washington Post, owned by the Amazon owner, Jeff Bezos. He says,
00:08:41.340
don't rant about short-saff stores and supply chain woes. Try to lower expectations. Hey guys,
00:08:47.020
just try and lower expectations. Your whole life, you've lived a life of plenty. You've never gone to
00:08:52.900
a grocery store that wasn't full on the shelves. Well, time to lower your expectations. Expect less
00:08:58.080
and expect pay more for what you get. You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. Happy people are
00:09:03.860
toxic. You heard the World Economic Forum. It's the new talking point for Joe Biden's spokesman.
00:09:10.860
Here she is on soaring gas prices. Go ahead. Let me ask you if I can about gas prices. The
00:09:16.120
president was asked about that. A lot of Americans have been concerned about the cost to go to the
00:09:19.360
pump these days. He said, I don't see anything that's going to happen in the meantime that's going
00:09:22.920
to significantly reduce gas prices. He said, I don't have a near-term answer. For Americans who
00:09:29.060
are looking for an answer, what is the answer? Well, what is true? And I think the president,
00:09:33.120
as I said earlier, was quite candid last night, as the American people should express from him,
00:09:38.020
expect from him and from any president. And there are limitations to what any president can do as it
00:09:43.900
relates to gas prices. Here's what we have been doing. As we've said for some time, we are engaging
00:09:48.260
broadly with OPEC on our concerns at a range of levels. And that is something we will continue
00:09:54.320
to do. As you know, Jake Sullivan, our national security advisor, recently met with leaders in
00:09:58.680
Saudi Arabia and certainly raised this issue. So much for build back better. That implied
00:10:05.160
happiness, improvement, growth, success, prosperity. It's going to get better. No, no, no. I think they
00:10:10.700
pretty much abandoned that now because it ain't getting better. Now it's endless depression,
00:10:15.260
recession, unhappiness, and masks and endless vaxes and boosters, plus inflation and high gas
00:10:21.800
prices. So you better get used to being sad and depressed. That's the new happy. Haven't you heard?
00:10:32.460
Stay with us for more from some people fighting back for the right to dance.
00:10:45.260
Well, that is a very Quebec style protest. Let us dance. You know, movies like Footloose,
00:11:14.580
where they banned dancing. Dancing? How can you ban dancing? Are you not allowed to dance?
00:11:21.880
I mean, just watch any music video, even West Side Story. Don't they have sort of a dance
00:11:26.960
off the rival gangs? How about Michael Jackson's Thriller or Michael Jackson's Bad or half of
00:11:33.980
Michael Jackson's repertoire? They settle their grievances through dance. Isn't that better
00:11:39.160
than through fists? Let your feet do the talking. Well, I have to tell you that Quebec has banned
00:11:44.420
dancing. I don't quite get it because massive concerts by Hollywood celebrities are permitted,
00:11:51.080
but not dancing in little bars and clubs. Here to talk to us about it and our campaign to
00:11:56.540
let them dance is our friend, Alexa Lavoie, our Quebec course. Great to see you. Great to see you.
00:12:04.100
Hi. Great to see you too. You know, it's a very Quebec thing to protest for the right to dance. Tell
00:12:13.400
us a little bit about it. It feels very French. It feels very artistic, something that maybe we
00:12:19.360
wouldn't see in Toronto, but it's caught the imagination of many Quebecers. So actually,
00:12:26.540
recently in the Bell Center, we had 15,000 people dancing for Enrique Ecclesias show and Ricky Martin.
00:12:36.540
Nobody, but most of the people didn't wear masks and they were dancing. And for the scientists,
00:12:43.660
it was not a problem. So since they reopened the bar, we are not allowed to dance in the bar here.
00:12:51.260
So I think people are enough and they wanted to make their voice heard that they want to dance
00:12:59.020
back. And it's why they bring all the artists, all the DJ, and they make like a big like protest and
00:13:08.960
say like, let us dance. You know what? It's such a beautiful idea. Let us dance. You would have to
00:13:15.360
have a heart as small as the Grinch who stole Christmas to say, no, you can't dance. Imagine
00:13:23.560
being a politician who says, I think you can't dance. And imagine being a policeman who goes out
00:13:29.940
to enforce the ban on dancing. I can't believe that a single policeman in all of Quebec, when they
00:13:36.200
were a kid thought, I'm going to grow up, go to the police academy, study how to be a police officer
00:13:41.420
so I can go around Quebec, arresting people for illegal dancing. It's almost too ridiculous to
00:13:49.440
be true. If that was a Hollywood movie, people would say, come on, that's not believable, but it's
00:13:54.880
real life in Quebec in 2021. Yeah. And I just met like a manager of a bar during that day. And what he
00:14:03.320
was saying to me, if two people are dancing or people are dancing in the bar is like, he was
00:14:11.080
risking a fine himself and them too. That's crazy. You know, um, in the United Kingdom, they had some
00:14:23.020
rules about a year ago against singing in the bar. And it sounds sort of, I mean, it's just as
00:14:30.660
ridiculous, but there were a lot of practical questions. I'm not even kidding. Is spoken word
00:14:36.940
like beats, like rapping, is that singing? What if you don't know the words and you just sort of go
00:14:43.020
la la la, is that singing? What if you just hum? And how loud is singing? Like if you speak melodiously,
00:14:49.480
is that singing or does that like there's, I know that sounds ridiculous, but the ridiculous thing is
00:14:54.320
banning singing. So all sorts of questions were, well, what exactly is singing? Can you sing to
00:15:01.260
yourself in the bathroom? I don't know. And I think the same applies for dancing. Yeah. If you're
00:15:07.500
standing by yourself, is that dancing? If you're dancing by yourself, what if you're dancing at a
00:15:12.260
wedding? Is that allowed? Yeah. What if your dancing is so bad? It's like Elaine Bennis on Seinfeld.
00:15:19.360
And people just think, you know, I mean, I'm having a little bit of fun with the question, but
00:15:24.400
imagine being an inspector or an officer and having to enforce this law. Really, if you rock
00:15:31.420
back and forth, is that dancing? What if it's slow dancing? This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard
00:15:36.500
of, Alexa. But actually, I think it's just for stopping people to have fun together because I don't see the
00:15:45.060
point to stop people dancing and singing as well. But I'm not really surprised now. Every measure
00:15:54.720
doesn't make sense. It's not based on science. It's really just for stopping people gathering and having
00:16:00.700
fun. You know, it reminds me of when public health officers across Canada, including Teresa Tam,
00:16:09.680
had advice for wearing masks when you kiss people or wearing masks when you have sex. I don't want to hear
00:16:17.340
from Teresa Tam about what her particular kink is. You want to wear a mask if you're having sex? Please don't
00:16:24.460
tell me about it. I don't want that to haunt my dreams. But, you know, there's no science behind any of
00:16:31.460
this. And I bet they dance when they bloody well feel like it. I don't like the fact that they're telling people
00:16:36.420
off to that. You're right. It really is whatever they can be irritating. They want to break us apart.
00:16:42.780
They want to stop us from gathering and commiserating and talking and living like the
00:16:47.140
social beings we are. They want us to be separate and alone and demoralized and sad and scared. And
00:16:54.200
if you're together and dancing and laughing and singing and drinking and maybe even kissing,
00:16:58.700
then you have a power that's of your own creation. You're not at the mercy of the state.
00:17:03.260
I think that only terrible people would order an entire province not to dance.
00:17:09.820
Yeah, you're completely right. It's what they want. They want us to be separate and be alone with
00:17:17.980
ourselves. And when you're alone and when you separate people, you can take over them really easily.
00:17:26.100
Yeah, I mean, one of the first thing that, I mean, it's typical in a cult. The cult isolates people.
00:17:34.440
They isolate them from their friends and family. They break their social bonds. And that way,
00:17:40.780
they're psychologically more vulnerable. They're less resilient. I think some of those psychological
00:17:46.040
manipulation techniques have been happening here. Tell me a little bit more before we go about the
00:17:51.360
demonstration because it's one thing to have a ridiculous law, but in a wonderful, and I have to
00:17:56.340
tell you, I admire Quebecers and I admire the French in France, both of whom seem to stand up for their
00:18:03.060
freedoms more even than Anglos in English Canada. Tell me about the demonstration where people were
00:18:11.640
So I was, it was really a different kind of demonstration because most of the people were
00:18:18.480
double backs and they were like, I'm double backs. I'm following all the rules. I'm, I've been like,
00:18:25.260
you know, really a good citizen. And they still not like permit me to have my freedom back.
00:18:32.700
And they, we can see them that they were like, okay, I'm going to do everything that what the
00:18:40.260
government tell me. So I would have like, what they promised me my freedom, but it's not the case.
00:18:48.180
So we saw like really, you know, people who, um, who got the vaccine and they were like, you know what,
00:18:55.500
I'm not scared. And I asked them, are you scared to got anything now? Are you scared? Or do you feel at
00:19:01.320
risk? They say, no, I'm not. I just, I just want to dance. I just want to have fun. I just want to,
00:19:07.380
to experiment, to, to, you know, to just to live my life as before. And, uh, it was really nice. It
00:19:17.920
was, uh, a lot of, um, color energy and people were really happy to be there. And, uh, unfortunately,
00:19:26.060
lately, uh, the police stopped there like two hours before the end, but that's another thing.
00:19:33.700
Well, Alexa, I'm so glad you're there to bring us those stories. First of all, you're telling the
00:19:38.740
stories for Quebecers. So Quebecers can hear the other side of the story because the Quebec media
00:19:44.200
is like the rest of the media in Canada. It's very one-sided, but I also love the fact that you're
00:19:49.900
sharing these Quebec stories with the rest of us in Ontario and the Atlantic and the West. So we can
00:19:55.940
see that there is resistance to this tyranny in Quebec. And I love the, the let us dance protest.
00:20:03.220
We have a petition at let us dance.ca. If people feel like signing it, please feel to do so.
00:20:08.740
Or laissez-nous danser.com. Is that right? Do I have the French version?
00:20:16.180
.ca. That means points.ca. Excusez-moi for getting mon français incorrect. My French is
00:20:23.340
terrible, Alexa. That's why we're so glad to have you to say it and do it right. Great to
00:20:28.180
see you. Keep up the fight. We love your fighting spirit and, uh, we can hardly wait to see what
00:20:37.240
All right, there we have it. Alexa Lavoie on the front lines of the battle of the dances.
00:20:57.600
Hey, welcome back. Your feedback. Someone named Second Kaiser says,
00:21:02.540
the phrase for the common good is the all-encompassing justification for coercion and tyranny.
00:21:08.480
Well, there is a place for the common good. Absolutely.
00:21:11.020
But what happens when the majority is tyrannical? I mean, you could say two people, uh, robbing
00:21:19.600
a third. Well, let's have a vote about it. Who says we rob the guy? Oh, it's two against
00:21:24.780
one. That's a democracy. No. The whole point about a constitutional democracy with enshrined
00:21:30.520
civil rights is there are some things that even a majority cannot do. Um, it may be that your
00:21:37.440
neighbor wants you vaxxed, that your neighbor wants you to do this or that. They might actually
00:21:41.740
even be right. But in a liberal democracy, you have certain rights that can't be taken
00:21:47.140
away from you, even if there is a vote. Even if two gunmen, uh, meet you in an alley and
00:21:54.280
You know, I don't really understand what's going on. We spoke to Brie of the Epoch Times and she
00:22:08.040
seemed, uh, more positive about the Vatican's role there. But of course it was just brutal.
00:22:13.180
Imagine being banned from working at all if you're not vaxxed anywhere.
00:22:15.940
Okay. Market Edge Pro says, you are witnessing the fourth industrial revolution. It is very
00:22:22.960
coordinated. I don't know if I would call it an industrial revolution. Um, at least not this
00:22:29.220
vaccine lockdown thing. I just don't think that's an industrial revolution. It doesn't meet
00:22:33.940
that, uh, meaning of those words to me. I think it's using the crisis of the pandemic opportunistically
00:22:42.160
to put people in a state of fear and to use that as an excuse to bring in a permanent surveillance
00:22:49.420
state, as Ron DeSantis calls it, a biomedical security state. I think, um, there's a famous
00:22:56.020
saying on the left, it's a Leninist saying, the worst, the better, never let an opportunity,
00:23:00.880
a crisis go to waste. I think that's what's happening here. I don't really think it's about
00:23:05.900
an industrial revolution other than implementing a surveillance state, China style, social
00:23:11.840
credit style, and it's not good. That's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us
00:23:17.560
here at Rubble World Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom. And let me
00:23:21.780
say goodbye to you by playing for you an interview of a teenager trying to cross the border, said the
00:23:29.320
wrong things, and he's got thousands of dollars in fines. What's going on? Take a look at this.
00:23:36.740
When he leaves the border, he calls me and he was with a shaking voice. He tells me,
00:23:41.060
they didn't give me a $120 fine. There's quite a few digits on the fine. And he was scared to tell
00:23:46.780
me how much he was. He was shaken. He says, it's $6,250 fine. And I had to reassure him and try and calm
00:23:59.600
Catherine Krasnowski here for Rebel News. I'm in Thornhill, Ontario today with Hani Zaltzman,
00:24:04.780
who is speaking to me on behalf of her 15-year-old son, who was slapped with over $6,000 worth of fines
00:24:11.080
crossing the border. He was fine because he didn't have a COVID test, but he actually did. It was just
00:24:17.180
a small communication error in the email address, which we'll let Hani explain. It's a huge fine for
00:24:24.280
a minor. And we're going to get to the bottom of how that happened. But stick around until the end
00:24:28.280
of the video, because I'm going to get an update from our legal team on the status of this case.
00:24:32.940
And I'm also going to ask you to get involved in helping Hani and her whole family and the thousands
00:24:37.660
of other people that were helping with Fight the Fines. This happened in June. My son was in New
00:24:44.660
York with his friends, and he took a COVID test on Sunday, and he was returning on Monday.
00:24:52.400
He took an Amtrak from New York to Buffalo, and then he had a taxi from Buffalo to the border,
00:24:58.380
and then another taxi from the border back home to Toronto. And when he arrives at the border,
00:25:03.680
he's calling me. As he's approaching the border, he's calling me and asking me,
00:25:07.700
do I have, can I forward my COVID test to the taxi driver? And he has no phone. So he tells me to
00:25:14.100
forward the COVID test result to the taxi driver. And I'm like, I never got a COVID test result.
00:25:19.240
He tells me, but I sent it to your email. And I realized that it was because he was missing the
00:25:23.840
dots between my first and last time in my email. So we tried to get a COVID test. The thing is that
00:25:32.000
he arrived to Buffalo around 12 a.m. So we couldn't get a COVID test. They're done like in
00:25:37.320
Buffalo. And he tried to check into a hotel because I had a COVID test that I would get the
00:25:41.400
result. I would get it. I would call the place where he did it and get the result the next morning.
00:25:45.580
He tried to check into three hotels, and all the hotels refused to take him because he's a minor.
00:25:52.480
He's 15 years old. So he couldn't check into a hotel, and he had to go through the border.
00:25:57.720
And so we tried to explain at the border. He explained that he has a COVID test. We can show
00:26:01.900
it to them the next morning. But right now, we don't have it. So they said, it's okay. We'll call
00:26:06.340
public health and try and let him through the border. Public health calls me in the middle of the
00:26:09.980
night. And I explained to them the situation. He said, that's okay. They were actually not interested
00:26:15.580
in seeing the COVID test the next day, but they told me, we'll let him through. And they gave him,
00:26:20.140
and they said, well, it's just a $125 fine. So I reassured my son that he can get through the border.
00:26:27.240
We should just hold on. And so he's by the border. And when he leaves the border, he calls me,
00:26:36.960
and he was with a shaking voice. He tells me, they didn't give me $120 fine. There's quite a few
00:26:42.320
digits on the fine. And he was scared to tell me how much it was. He was shaken. He says,
00:26:47.860
$6,250 fine. And I had to reassure him and try and calm him down. But he was completely shaken.
00:26:54.500
He comes home with a over $6,000 fine. And he's scared, right? And now you are on the hook for
00:27:03.940
Yeah. He was definitely traumatized. He wasn't treated very well by the border, by the officials.
00:27:08.600
He was traumatized. And the next day when he's home, I mean, in the morning when he got home,
00:27:15.420
we tried to calm him down and tell him that it's okay. It's not, we're not going to have to,
00:27:19.560
we're not going to take the money from, it's not like he has money to pay for it. I told him not
00:27:24.160
to worry about it. It's, it's not an amount that we can pay anyways. And I'll try to do whatever I
00:27:28.580
can and that he shouldn't worry about it. So, but the trauma of the border and everything that he went
00:27:34.600
through trying to, uh, trying to find a place, trying to find a hotel, he did go through quite
00:27:40.380
He did get his negative test, right? He has tested come back negative.
00:27:43.580
I know what I want. I wanted to add that, uh, yeah, they were, they were not interested in
00:27:47.160
seeing the COVID test the next day, neither public health nor the border. I told them I can show it
00:27:50.800
to you the next day, but that wasn't, that was not relevant to them.
00:27:54.080
Unfortunately, there is no rule for showing your test within 24 hours at the border.
00:27:59.200
Um, it's fictitious. It's never been a rule. It's akin to showing up to the police station with an
00:28:04.980
insurance car. If you've been pulled over and you don't have that, it doesn't exist. Unfortunately,
00:28:10.560
um, you must have proof of your test when you're crossing the border that includes if you're a minor
00:28:15.400
and if you're vaccinated, whether or not you're a company.
00:28:18.280
That sounds like an ordeal, the poor guy. Um, so he was with a friend, was the friend also going
00:28:23.940
through the same motions or the friend had his, his tests. So the friend was with him,
00:28:28.740
uh, thankfully to my son and, um, he had a test. He had a test with him. Uh, so, but he was just
00:28:35.420
there waiting for my son. They weren't, he wasn't going to leave him alone stranded. So he was there
00:28:39.540
supporting him a little. That's good. That's a nice friend. I was, um, I was a minor once traveling
00:28:44.260
alone and I, my flight was overbooked. So they had to put me in a hotel and the hotels said the same
00:28:49.380
thing to me. They wouldn't take me cause I was under 18 at the time. And you said that the border
00:28:53.460
officials weren't very nice to your son. Is that right? They were a little bit treating him like,
00:28:59.100
why don't you have your COVID test here? Like we're doing something wrong. They were very strict
00:29:04.460
with him. They were not trying to calm him down at all. That feeling of like, I just want to get home
00:29:08.300
and I'm being told I can't get home and I can't sleep in a safe, warm bed in a hotel room. And then
00:29:13.560
I wonder also how the fine went from $125, which is what they told you to over 6,000. Public health
00:29:20.620
said that it was 125. And then the border agent gave him a $6,000 fine. It's like, that is not
00:29:26.480
in the budget, right? $6,000. I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I'm so glad that we can help
00:29:31.560
you fight this fine in court at no cost to you. How did you hear about fight the fines?
00:29:37.020
So, uh, the next day I, uh, posted about this fine, uh, with all my shock on my, on a family chat.
00:29:44.220
And a cousin of mine told me about, uh, as relevant and fight the fines and rebel news. So I said,
00:29:50.860
you know what, I'll try it. Yes, that's amazing. So, um, if you don't already know, uh, rebel news,
00:29:56.780
we use our network of, of viewers and donors who generously donate to a registered Canadian charity
00:30:03.720
called the democracy fund. So none of the money comes to rebel news. It goes from the democracy fund
00:30:07.880
straight to the legal teams, the lawyers and the paralegals who will be fighting these fines for you.
00:30:12.900
Uh, I'm really thankful for this, uh, charity organization and it's all the work that you do.
00:30:18.620
I'm going to get an update from the legal team. Thank you so much for talking to me.
00:30:22.080
I feel that this case is definitely a winner. I've already found several flaws in the way that this
00:30:27.460
case is being presented. Um, it's not going to be for anything, any sexy or dramatic reason, but
00:30:35.000
I can definitely see this being withdrawn. And if it's not withdrawn, there's going to be a whole
00:30:39.860
host of tribal issues that we serve on a platter for the Justice of the Peace to review. Um, namely,
00:30:46.900
um, that this is a youth that we're talking about.
