Summary
Justin Trudeau wants to replace Canadian oil with foreign conflict oil to help the planet. But what would that mean for the rest of the world if we actually stopped using Canadian oil? And what would it mean if we all stopped driving or flying? And would we all burn OPEC oil instead?

Hello my Rebels. Today I talk a little bit about the Glasgow Global Warming Conference and what it
00:00:06.040
would mean if we actually followed Justin Trudeau's orders and capped and then eliminated Canadian
00:00:12.160
oil. Would that mean that people stopped driving or stopped flying or would it just mean that they
00:00:17.200
would burn OPEC oil instead? I'll take you through it. But first let me invite you to become a
00:00:22.660
subscriber to Rebel News Plus. This is a video version of this podcast. I like to think it's
00:00:28.640
got extra bells and whistles. Along with that, if you subscribe to Rebel News Plus, besides my daily
00:00:37.480
video, you get weekly videos from Sheila Gunn-Reed, David Menzies, and Andrew Chapados. And it's just
00:00:42.760
eight bucks a month, but that eight bucks goes a long way with us because we don't get any money
00:00:47.000
from the government, one of the few media who don't. So just go to Rebel News Plus and click

00:00:58.640
Tonight, Justin Trudeau pledges to replace Canadian ethical oil with foreign conflict oil
00:01:15.780
to help the planet, you see. It's November 2nd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:20.780
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:26.740
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:30.800
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:41.960
We haven't talked about oil and gas for a while, even though it's one of my favorite
00:01:45.000
subjects. I wrote two books about it, Ethical Oil, The Case for Canada's Oil Sands, and Groundswell,
00:01:51.760
The Case for Fracking. I love those books. I love getting to know the science and technology
00:01:58.300
behind each miraculous method. I love meeting the people who are the champions of the project.
00:02:05.300
I love seeing how it improved the prosperity of those communities that embraced it. And I even
00:02:11.020
love fighting back against the antis, the anti-oil sands, anti-frackers who oppose them.
00:02:17.780
But alas, the last two years, the crisis of the lockdowns, and now forced vaccines and mass
00:02:22.920
firings, segregation, have pushed almost every other conversation aside. As you know, Sheila
00:02:29.920
Gunn-Reed used to attend global warming conferences held by the UN around the world, crowdfunded by
00:02:36.260
our viewers to travel there, our viewers who wanted to hear the other side of the story.
00:02:39.960
Although the cities where these conferences were held sound like exotic vacation spots,
00:02:46.160
Marrakesh and Madrid, for example, Sheila, of course, worked around the clock. It was
00:02:51.540
the tens of thousands of climate lobbyists and bureaucrats who were having the five-star meals
00:02:57.180
and luxury accommodations and private jets, etc. Sheila, as you know, was banned from UN conferences
00:03:05.680
after her first one because she dared to ask prickly questions. I mean, remember this one at a
00:03:12.020
conference lecturing us about wasting water? They literally watered the desert to keep the dust off
00:03:19.260
the shoes of the politicians. Every morning, this is my favorite part, every morning a little truck
00:03:25.720
comes by and waters the ground so that there's so that there's no dust getting on the shoes of the fancy
00:03:33.460
people in the middle of the desert. And these are the people who behind closed doors are writing policies
00:03:38.660
to make me flush my toilet only half the time. And then by accident, Sheila discovered that the
00:03:45.140
electric car charging stations were fake. My team and I have been at COP22 now for two full days. And on both
00:03:52.120
days we noticed these little electric car chargers and both days we noticed that nobody was using them.
00:03:57.160
So we thought we'd hang out for a little bit and see if anybody's actually using them or if they're just for show.
00:04:10.840
Yeah, Sheila asked too many questions. They didn't allow her back after that. But that was actually a blessing in disguise.
00:04:15.800
You see, what happens inside these conferences is scripted and managed and spun. You don't actually learn
00:04:21.960
anything other than the government's talking points, which we already know. But outside,
00:04:27.640
free to poke around, you can learn things like this fun one.
00:04:31.800
So I noticed there's these cords on the ground, like the tentacle of the UN
00:04:38.360
octopus reaching into my life and into my wallet. So they're laying across the ground. Let's just see where they go.
00:04:51.960
So the UN Climate Change Conference is kept snugly warm and inflated because of our old friend fossil fuels.
00:05:10.920
If you see there on the sign, it says that these generators run off diesel fuel.
00:05:15.640
The pandemic canceled the annual global warming conference last year.
00:05:21.240
You'd think they'd just have stuck with Zoom or Skype, electronic meetings. But you see,
00:05:26.520
they love travel and they love to meet in person like we all do, like all humans do.
00:05:31.720
We don't want to live our entire lives in front of a screen. At least most of us don't. We want human
00:05:39.080
interaction. We crave it. No vax passports, no masks. And lucky for the United Nations jet set,
00:05:48.120
all of those rules have been relaxed just for the fancy class at this giant convention in Glasgow,
00:05:54.760
Scotland. Seriously, I mean in for a penny, in for a pound, as they would say in the UK.
00:05:59.240
OK, here's Prince Charles. He travels by private jet, who is a vast estate, a huge staff lives,
00:06:06.760
you know, like a king. But he's saying that we have to wage a military style campaign
00:06:12.840
to transform the economy. And by we, he means you.
00:06:15.800
So, ladies and gentlemen, my plea today is for countries to come together to create the
00:06:23.240
environment that enables every sector of industry to take the action required.
00:06:30.040
We know this will take trillions, not billions of dollars. We also know that countries, many of whom
00:06:37.320
are burdened by growing levels of debt, simply cannot afford to go green.
00:06:45.480
Here, we need a vast military style campaign to marshal the strength of the global private sector.
00:06:52.280
With trillions at its disposal, far beyond global GDP, and with the greatest respect,
00:07:00.440
beyond even the governments of the world's leaders, it offers the only real prospect
00:07:10.440
Yeah, it's not just that he's a hypocrite flying in private jets while telling you to live smaller.
00:07:15.880
What is a non-partisan prince, a man who would be king, doing weighing in on political matters?
00:07:20.760
Didn't the queen fire Prince Harry for last? What a disgrace Charles is. I hope the queen lives to be
00:07:26.040
120. Anyway, in Glasgow, they've gone this year, tens of thousands of them. And while we didn't
00:07:33.000
send Sheila Gunn-Reed this year, we sent our friend Lewis Brackpool, our new British reporter,
00:07:38.920
who's already getting the hang of it. I mean, do you think a single other journalist there would tell this story?
00:07:49.720
Anyways, my point today about oil and gas is brought to mind by watching this attack speech
00:08:02.920
by Justin Trudeau. He's attacking not China, his favorite place, which happens to be the world's
00:08:09.160
biggest carbon dioxide emitter, not India, not OPEC, not Russia, but attacking his own countrymen,
00:08:16.040
or Albertans at least, saying he's going to cap the amount of oil and gas produced
00:08:20.680
and then eliminate it. And he says this while standing in front of the flag of the United Nations.
00:08:26.200
We know pollution pricing is key to getting emissions down while getting innovation up and running.
00:08:35.640
Our carbon price trajectory is one of the most globally ambitious ones,
00:08:40.920
and it's rising to $170 a tonne in 2030. This is a meaningful price on pollution designed not just
00:08:50.520
to make life cleaner, but also make life more affordable and less expensive for Canadians.
00:09:00.360
I call on other countries to do the same. Just as globally we've agreed to a minimum corporate tax,
00:09:07.800
we must work together to ensure it is no longer free to pollute anywhere in the world.
00:09:16.600
That means establishing a shared minimum standard for pricing pollution.
00:09:23.960
Of course, what's even better than pricing emissions is ensuring that they don't happen in the first
00:09:29.400
place. Which brings me to my next major commitment. We'll cap oil and gas sector emissions today and ensure
00:09:39.880
they decrease tomorrow at a pace and scale needed to reach net zero by 2050.
00:09:49.800
How can you call yourself a climate activist if you don't even mention China? By far the largest emitter
00:09:55.720
of not just carbon dioxide but real pollution too. And a country, China, that is building more coal-fired
00:10:01.960
power plants than the rest of the world combined. Trudeau actually believes China is the best
00:10:08.600
environmentalist. They're the worst. He says they're the best. There's a level of admiration I actually have for
00:10:16.600
China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime
00:10:26.680
and say we need to go green as fast as we need to start investing in solar. Yeah, stupid or malicious,
00:10:32.760
take your pick for Trudeau. But the world won't stop driving if Canada makes less oil. Trudeau won't stop
00:10:40.680
flying to Tofino using jet fuel. He won't stop partying like a rock star like he did in Europe
00:10:46.760
this week. No mask, no social distancing, super spreader event. Trudeau will continue to party and
00:10:52.360
live a high energy lifestyle. By energy I mean oil and gas and coal. He'll just insist that the energy
00:10:58.840
he burns comes from other places that make energy, not Canada. And in the world today those other places
00:11:05.240
are Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, Nigeria, Russia, basically the world's authoritarian regimes
00:11:11.320
including a number of terrorists supporting countries like Qatar.
00:11:18.200
Because every barrel of oil not produced by Canada will be made up for by Saudi Arabia and the rest of OPEC.
00:11:23.640
They can increase or decrease production at will to keep the price where they want it and to meet the demand the
00:11:29.320
world has for oil. Including in fact in Canada itself. Let me show you this. This is a Canadian government graph.
00:11:41.160
Canada is a net exporter of oil but we also do import oil more than half a million barrels a day
00:11:51.320
at about 100 bucks Canadian. That's 50 million Canadian dollars a day we spend on bringing foreign
00:11:57.160
oil into Canada. In the past 10 years as you can see from the dark blue lines most of that now comes
00:12:03.320
from the United States. Isn't that nuts? We export oil to the states but they export it back to us too
00:12:10.200
at a higher price by the way. And it's largely fracked oil from North Dakota, costs more than Canadian
00:12:17.080
oil and it comes in by train. How do you feel about that? It was a fracked oil train from America that
00:12:25.000
exploded and burned in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. I'm not against trains even though they're not as safe
00:12:31.160
as pipelines and I love fracking. As I mentioned I wrote a book defending it. I'm just saying
00:12:36.440
those are things that environmentalists typically say they hate. Oil, fracking and America. Yet under
00:12:41.560
Trudeau imports of fracked American oil has skyrocketed. Precisely because Trudeau has shut down three
00:12:50.280
Canadian pipelines that would have displaced all that fracked oil.
00:12:56.520
I seriously wonder if Trudeau is getting some sort of quiet commission from U.S. competitors.
00:13:02.360
You can see Saudi Arabia is the next biggest source of Canadian imports. That's the
00:13:07.160
dark red line. But the thing is you heard Trudeau, he wants to stop and then eliminate
00:13:13.800
Canadian oil and gas. Which means everything you burn will have to come from somewhere. The U.S.,
00:13:20.280
Saudi Arabia, Russia, other sources. Why? By the way, those oil imports aren't charged carbon taxes.
00:13:27.720
Trudeau already favors them over Canadian oil which he does tax. But just from a common sense point of
00:13:34.120
view, why are you eliminating a huge source of tax revenue? Why are you just handing the market over to
00:13:40.200
OPEC and Russia? What are you doing? I don't know the answer. Same reason why Trudeau doesn't breathe
00:13:44.840
a word against China? The largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world? Yeah, what a joke. But like
00:13:52.360
the absolute lockstep between big media on the one hand and big government and big pharma on the other.
00:13:59.640
Look at the lockstep between big media on the one hand and big government and big green.
00:14:03.880
subsidies, taxes, regulations, the whole fear, the whole mania. Now they're calling for climate
00:14:10.600
lockdowns. I tell you, you can't trust them. And Aaron O'Toole, the alleged conservative leader,
00:14:17.720
is silent on Trudeau's speech. Have you seen him condemn Trudeau yet? He agrees with them.
00:14:25.080
Now why is Jason Kenney and Scott Moe, why are they and the other energy producing premiers not over there
00:14:31.320
in Glasgow countering these slanders? Why are the chambers of commerce on side with this? Well,
00:14:38.520
frankly, why are 90% of oil company executives promoting all this carbon tax green scheme madness?
00:14:46.920
And you just can't trust one in a thousand journalists on this either. Well, maybe one in a
00:14:53.800
thousand. To see Lewis's vids, go to rebelun.com. Stay with us. Next, an interview I did with Spencer
00:15:04.120
Welcome back. Well, as you know, we cover the crisis of our age, the pandemic, the lockdowns,
00:15:23.000
the forced vaccinations, and in general, the shrinking of our civil liberties and the growth
00:15:29.800
of authoritarian government. It's been very troubling. And frankly,
00:15:34.040
the surprising bullies have come from places you wouldn't expect it. Scott Moe, the premier of
00:15:40.040
Saskatchewan, with his snitch lines and setting up internment camps. I know that that's a word
00:15:46.280
that he would probably bristle at, but what do you call it? Where health officers can order someone to
00:15:51.560
be detained and sent there. And Manitoba's premier, Brian Pallister, positively boasted about being the
00:16:00.760
most authoritarian enforcer of lockdowns, naming and shaming his opponents. In fact, threatening
00:16:09.080
and carrying out the threat at Maxime Bernier, the federal politician who dared to campaign in Manitoba
00:16:15.640
against Brian Pallister's wishes. Well, Brian Pallister is out and a new premier is in. And here to join us
00:16:23.880
to talk about it, who is the new premier of Manitoba? Our friend Spencer Fernando from the website,
00:16:30.280
SpencerFernando.com. Hey, Spencer, great to see you again. Thanks for taking the time.
00:16:36.280
I want to ask you, who is the new premier of Manitoba? Because outside of the province,
00:16:43.480
I don't think most Canadians know who she is. Yeah, well, Heather Stephenson, she's been involved
00:16:48.520
in the PC party for a long time. She's done, I think, you know, a lot of different ministerial
00:16:54.680
roles at a pretty high level. So she's very experienced. And I think the big thing for her,
00:16:58.680
what she's seen as more conciliatory and more willing to listen to the MLAs. I think there was
00:17:04.440
really a perception that Pallister ran a very top down, centralized government that didn't really take
00:17:10.600
much input. A lot of decisions were made really without MLAs having any input. They were just kind
00:17:15.480
of told what to do. And, you know, when I worked there for a short time, I saw certainly a lot of
00:17:19.880
that even when they weren't in government. So I think that trend really continued. So I think the
00:17:25.000
big thing was that she's seen as someone who's going to listen more to MLAs, you know, and include
00:17:30.280
people more in decision making. And I think that's one of the reasons she had the endorsement of so many
00:17:35.000
of her colleagues. And obviously, she's trying to take a different approach. And the parties,
00:17:40.840
they're not doing too well in the polls. So I think they're really trying to rebrand
00:17:48.200
Well, I think that, I mean, just the first woman,
00:17:51.240
not that we believe gender is an important requirement. I mean, a male or a female, black,
00:17:56.360
white, brown, whatever color. What we care about is the content of someone's character and their ideas.
00:18:00.840
But I think it is a very clear reset from Brian Pallister. Let me ask you,
00:18:06.520
I mean, if she was part of a very disciplined caucus and cabinet, maybe it's tough to tell.
00:18:12.680
But where is she ideologically? Is she a hardcore lockdowner? Is she, I don't know,
00:18:20.920
on the conservative side? Is she more on the red Tory side? What can you say about her ideas?
00:18:25.560
Yeah, definitely more of a moderate conservative. You know, much of the PC party, or at least
00:18:32.760
the PC government has fully embraced lockdowns. And I don't see that changing at all. I guess they
00:18:37.400
must think it's popular. They must feel that they're being pressured into it. Whatever it is,
00:18:41.880
I don't see a big change in that kind of policy. I think at this point, you know, regardless of where
00:18:47.320
someone is on the political spectrum, in terms of elected governments in across the country at the
00:18:52.440
provincial level, they're basically just looking at each other and kind of copying each other.
00:18:56.280
And no one wants to stand out. No one wants to make a tough decision. No one wants to stand up
00:19:00.600
for civil liberties or freedoms. So I think I don't see much of a change. Maybe the tone will change.
00:19:06.360
That might try to be a little nicer about how they restrict people, but it's not going to change the
00:19:10.280
actual content of policy that much. That makes me very sad. I just wish there was one premier or one,
00:19:17.080
forget about premier, one opposition leader in this country who would be, you know, opposing things.
00:19:23.480
Well, listen, we'll keep our eyes peeled for how Heather Stephenson does. Thanks for the
00:19:27.880
quick briefing on her. But let's talk about an issue that I know you care about and have been
00:19:31.880
following. It's the annual global warming conference convened by the United Nations. Now,
00:19:37.720
they use lots of jargon. I think they do that on purpose to make it seem mysterious and to keep
00:19:43.240
people out and to seem smarter than you. Like they don't call it a global warming convention.
00:19:47.880
They call it COP26, which stands for the conference of the parties. This is the 26th time they've had
00:19:54.760
their annual luxury getaway. This time it's in Glasgow, Scotland. And I want to tell you,
00:20:00.520
Spencer, we have our own reporter on the ground. We often send Sheila Gunn-Reed to these things,
00:20:05.240
but this time we send our British reporter, Lewis. So he's going to be reporting from there.
00:20:10.440
We'll have him on the show tomorrow. Things are just getting underway. Is this any different from
00:20:17.720
any of the previous 25 conventions? It's just politicians, bureaucrats and lobbyists meeting
00:20:24.600
to, I don't know, continue the process. It's like the Arab-Israeli peace process for so long.
00:20:30.920
It was about the process, not about the peace. What's your take on the 26th meeting of these global
00:20:37.800
warming bureaucrats? Well, it's interesting to see, you know, leaders seem to be going in very
00:20:43.480
different directions. You have obviously China, who is, they're clearly not taking it too seriously.
00:20:49.400
We've all seen that they plan to massively expand coal production in the, in the coming years. So
00:20:55.080
obviously undoing completely anything Canada does, we can, you know, ruin our entire economy,
00:20:59.800
shut down the whole country and, you know, turn off all the lights and China would still undo anything we
00:21:05.400
did. Right. So, so China doesn't take it too seriously. You know, other countries,
00:21:09.240
I think I saw India saying that they're going to go carbon neutral by our net zero by 2070. I mean,
00:21:15.800
okay, that's, that's quite a long ways off. So, but of course, then you have other leaders like
00:21:20.680
Justin Trudeau and they're going all in and they're willing to sacrifice their own countries and
00:21:25.880
their own economic growth and their own national unity. So he can get a few nice sound bites and look
00:21:30.120
like he's, you know, part of saving the world supposedly. So that's, there's really a big
00:21:35.400
divergence there. And Trudeau, unfortunately is talking about, you know, shutting down or,
00:21:41.480
you know, capping our emissions in the oil and gas sector, which would of course be devastating for
00:21:46.280
the sector and for our economy. He's, he's going all in on that. And that's going to be very bad for
00:21:50.440
Canada. Yeah. We got a clip of that. And I think it's just classic. He's standing in front of
00:21:55.320
the UK flag because it is in Glasgow. So I'm glad it's a UK flag. I mean, a couple of years ago,
00:22:01.800
that would have been the European union flag, which is just the worst flag, but it's,
00:22:06.680
there's also a United nations flag. So here it is, Justin Trudeau in front of the UN flag
00:22:13.560
at a foreign summit promising to cap production of oil and gas, and then slowly bring it down to zero
00:22:21.480
a speech that could have been written by OPEC or Russia. They must be so delighted. Take a look.
00:22:27.240
We know pollution pricing is key to getting emissions down while getting innovation up and running.
00:22:36.680
Our carbon price trajectory is one of the most globally ambitious ones,
00:22:41.960
and it's rising to $170 a ton in 2030. This is a meaningful price on pollution designed not just to
00:22:51.720
make life cleaner, but also make life more affordable and less expensive for Canadians.
00:23:01.480
I call on other countries to do the same. Just as globally we've agreed to a minimum corporate tax,
00:23:08.840
we must work together to ensure it is no longer free to pollute anywhere in the world.
00:23:17.720
That means establishing a shared minimum standard for pricing pollution.
00:23:25.000
Of course, what's even better than pricing emissions is ensuring that they don't happen in the first
00:23:30.520
place. Which brings me to my next major commitment. We'll cap oil and gas sector emissions
00:23:38.840
today and ensure they decrease tomorrow at a pace and scale needed to reach net zero by 2050.
00:23:51.480
declaring war on Canadian industry. I don't know why he wouldn't promote Canada's natural gas. We're one
00:23:58.760
of the largest natural gas producers in the world. It's one of the cleanest burning fuels. If you're
00:24:03.400
worried about carbon dioxide, and I am not personally, but some people are, shouldn't we develop our
00:24:08.680
natural gas or LNG, as it's sometimes called, to replace China's appetite for coal, India's appetite
00:24:15.400
for coal? Instead, he just wants to shut it all down. I mean, I don't know if he actually means it. I sort
00:24:21.800
of think he does. What do you think? Yeah, it's, you know, it's almost taken on in a strange way a
00:24:27.960
kind of religious aspect. There's something almost faith-based lately about the environmental movement.
00:24:34.120
And it's, it's basically, you know, it's like, you know, purity versus, you know, things that are
00:24:38.760
dirty, right? So the Canadian energy apparently is dirty now, right? So it's, it's untouchable. You
00:24:43.800
can't have anything to do with that. It must be punished. You know, it's, it's, it's evil. It's
00:24:48.360
terrible. And so, you know, when, when that kind of thinking predominates, it's not really a logical
00:24:53.800
discussion at this point, right? You have people, I think, like ourselves who would say, well,
00:24:58.440
if you look at the numbers, Canada contributes very little to global emissions and our energy is
00:25:04.760
often cleaner, environmental standards higher, labor standards are higher than many of the
00:25:09.320
countries that will simply step in and replace any production we don't produce. So we're not
00:25:15.000
changing emissions at all in the world. We're lowering labor standards if other countries produce
00:25:18.920
it. We're lowering environmental standards if other countries produce it. And then we just lose
00:25:23.240
money in other countries, often dictatorships and authoritarian states end up gaining money.
00:25:28.360
So there's no real, obviously net benefit for the world. It just hurts Canada and benefits other
00:25:32.760
people, but it hasn't really become, it's not really a logical discussion anymore, right? So
00:25:37.000
people who are completely convinced that they're on a grand crusade to save the planet and you know,
00:25:41.800
they're, they're going to cast out all the dirty energy, you know, that you can't really,
00:25:45.640
you can't really talk to people in a logical manner when that's their way of thinking.
00:25:50.040
Yeah. Yeah. I want to show you just one more thing before we go. I saw that Jeffrey Bezos,
00:25:55.640
one of the world's richest men, the boss of Amazon, I don't know how many private jets he has, but it's
00:26:01.480
more than one. So he flew in to talk about reducing carbon footprints. I just love that. But it takes the
00:26:08.200
cake to me that Prince Charles, who has put more than a hundred thousand miles on his private jet
00:26:15.880
in recent years, uh, was talking about a military style campaign to radically transform our economy.
00:26:25.480
I just got to play this clip for you. It's, it's so outlandish coming from another gazillionaire,
00:26:31.240
but I got to tell you, Spencer, I'm, I'm a monarchist. I don't know about you. I love
00:26:35.160
the royal family. I, I prefer a constitutional monarchy to a republic, but listening to Prince
00:26:42.360
Charles talk like a dime store politician really, really rocks my faith in the, in the future of
00:26:51.320
that institution. Take a look at Prince Charles. So my plea today is for countries to come together
00:26:59.640
to create the environment that enables every sector of industry to take the action required.
00:27:07.480
We know this will take trillions, not billions of dollars. We also know that countries, many of whom
00:27:14.760
are burdened by growing levels of debt, simply cannot afford to go green. Here we need a vast military
00:27:25.000
style campaign to marshal the strength of the global private sector with trillions at his disposal,
00:27:32.920
far beyond global GDP. And with the greatest respect, beyond even the governments of the world's
00:27:39.880
leaders, it offers the only real prospect of achieving fundamental economic transition.
00:27:46.760
I don't know, Spencer. I just, I know he's always had a, uh, a hankering for global warming talk and
00:27:53.320
maybe I should ignore it, but I like my royals, um, quiet and reserved. And when they say something,
00:28:00.440
it's unifying, not divisive. I, I got a feeling of Prince Harry and Meghan there. Um, you know, a bit of a
00:28:09.000
political, um, activist. I, I didn't see Queen Elizabeth II's proper heir there. What did you think?
00:28:16.120
Yeah, I'm personally not a big fan of the monarchy. You know, I have a lot of respect for the queen,
00:28:21.160
but I think the, the issue is just what we're seeing with Prince Charles, right? Is it's a system
00:28:26.200
where people can vote it out. They can't have any really control over it. And if you end up with a
00:28:31.000
bad, you know, successor, then okay, you're kind of screwed, right? You're stuck with that person.
00:28:35.800
So I think that's, that's going to become an issue and he's going to put the royal family,
00:28:39.000
I think in serious jeopardy if he continues doing this, because as you say, he's talking like a
00:28:44.120
politician, right? And that's not what people expect. The queen is very good at realizing how
00:28:48.440
far she can go in terms of certain things, you know, where to stay out of how to, you know,
00:28:52.520
she's, she's vague about a lot of things, which is kind of the point, right? Yeah.
00:28:56.120
You can't be a unifying figure if you're taking extremely strong political stances and he's
00:29:00.840
obviously doing the opposite. And I don't think people are going to be too pleased.
00:29:04.360
Yeah. I, it, it, it makes me worried. Well, Spencer, it's great to catch up with you.
00:29:08.920
It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds. We've got our reporter Lewis over there and we'll
00:29:12.760
hear from him tomorrow. I know he's already had some adventures. Spencer, great to see you.
00:29:19.320
Right on. There you have it. Spencer Fernando, the boss of spencerfernando.com. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:29:34.360
Hey, welcome back. Your viewer feedback. Samai Pata says, I would love to see a Freedom of
00:29:42.360
Information Act request and numbers released about the orders of cardboard water containers.
00:29:48.200
Since we have been told by our government's leader, that is what he's using. You're talking
00:29:52.200
about Trudeau and if he really is being, you know, getting off plastic when he's drinking water.
00:29:59.880
I've seen some of those cardboard water bottle type things. You know,
00:30:03.800
we're talking about this old clip from Trudeau.
00:30:07.960
Just so you know, cardboard is not waterproof on its own. It has to have a layer of plastic on it.
00:30:14.840
And in many cases that got a layer of foil. I just don't think Trudeau knows anything about
00:30:21.720
anything other than he has to do what's fashionable. D Flaherty says, they held parliament via zoom,
00:30:28.440
just saying, yeah, well, you know, Trudeau didn't want parliament there. He wants to rule by fiat. But
00:30:35.160
these global warming conferences, they're about getting together and partying in person. They're not
00:30:39.480
about actually passing laws or actually doing anything. Bruce Atchison says, let's go Ezra.
00:30:46.840
Let's go Sheila. Let's go Mocha. Let's go Andrew. Let's go Adam. Let's go Lewis. Let's go K2.
00:30:51.720
Let's go Lincoln. And let's go Rebels. That's pretty friendly. Thank you for that. You know what?
00:30:58.200
I kid you not. We have been hiring new teammates almost every day. Yesterday, we had two new interns
00:31:05.880
join us. And you know what? I don't want to give away a reporter. We're looking at hiring in another
00:31:13.720
jurisdiction. But Rebel News has never had more friends on board making videos for you. And I'm
00:31:20.760
glad you see that footprint. And I think it's a more important time than ever to tell the other side
00:31:27.400
of the story. Well, that's our show for today. And until tomorrow, I want to tell you to keep fighting
00:31:35.720
for freedom. But I want to leave you with this video of the day from the aforementioned Mocha,
00:31:42.520
who went to Manitoba to tell the story of a foster family being torn apart by a government order
00:31:51.160
about vaccines. I'll let the story speak for itself until tomorrow. You keep fighting for freedom.
00:31:56.920
A foster care agency in Manitoba is forcing employees and the foster parents to take the COVID vaccine.
00:32:04.120
That's where I get my funding for the treatment care that I have to give. Some foster parents,
00:32:11.240
such as Sharon, came forward to express their worries. That's what I'll be losing at this time.
00:32:15.960
But if I don't speak up now, it could trickle down and the agencies will then start demanding also.
00:32:24.600
Remy, the biological grandparent of the kids which Sharon is taking care of, who is also a foster
00:32:31.480
parent himself, does not want to vaccinate his grandchildren. They're not good. If the agency
00:32:36.600
were to make it compulsory for the kids by using the same rationale it did for its employees and
00:32:42.920
foster parents. And agencies are the ones that are enforcing it really more so than the government
00:32:49.000
at this point. She's in a position where she needs to protect children and that's exactly what she's
00:32:54.280
doing. It's protecting them. There's a price to pay for all what's being done right now to them.
00:32:59.720
It's not going to fall on me or my grandchildren. Like, we'll go on with it.
00:33:09.880
On October 8th, I was given a letter from my agency that I work for stating that I would no longer be
00:33:18.360
allowed to work for them due to the fact that I didn't have the vaccine. What I do for a living
00:33:23.720
is I'm a foster parent. And as a foster parent, I'm at home. Many of these kids come in, they're
00:33:30.040
treatment, foster care system, and they've been in eight, nine homes already. So now to throw this
00:33:37.640
on to the parents that have had children for, you know, two, three, four, 19 years I've had kids
00:33:44.360
stay in my home. To throw this into the mix is just taking that attachment piece and ripping it apart
00:33:52.200
for the children that have come to love the homes that they're in and are supported to get through
00:33:59.240
whatever issues they may have. The letter that was sent to Sharon by the agency did not give her any
00:34:05.160
options such as self-testing. The only option they gave is to get the vaccine or gave up the financial
00:34:11.320
support that she needs in order to sustain the four special kids that she is currently taking
00:34:16.760
care of. We went through a year and a half with no vaccine. Everybody was fine. We all pulled our
00:34:24.280
weight. I homeschooled during that time. I have no problems with the mask wearing. I have no problems
00:34:31.880
with the testing, but that's not an option in this case. Remy Olsen, the grandparent of the kids that
00:34:37.960
Sharon is taking care of, also a foster parent himself, comes in support of Sharon. I don't
00:34:43.400
think anyone should be going through what she's going through right now, especially being
00:34:48.600
forced to do what they want. That's what's happening. Sharon has raised seven kids in total
00:34:54.920
from the Olsen family. The closest biological parents of the kids that Sharon is taking care of
00:35:00.600
are okay with Sharon not taking the vaccine. But why does the agency have to stick its nose in between
00:35:06.520
and cause headache for everybody? So I've been with Remy's family for 19 years. And I've raised
00:35:14.440
seven children in foster care and I had two children of my own that are older. So nine children in total.
00:35:20.520
So through the years, Remy and I have gotten to know each other quite well. And Remy and I and Remy's wife,
00:35:28.840
Amanda, we're a team. We're a team that work together and do our best to protect and make sure that
00:35:35.320
the kids are getting what they need. She's in a position where she needs to protect children.
00:35:42.040
And that's exactly what she's doing, is protecting them. Until they can come up with something better,
00:35:47.800
a better story or a better lie, it's probably still not going to work anyway because
00:35:55.000
most women are protective of all children anyway. And we are also put in a position where we also
00:36:01.000
protect them as men. We protect our families. We are warriors and that's the way it's going to stay.
00:36:07.720
We did reach out to Marymount, the agency that is forcing foster parents and its employees to get the
00:36:14.120
vaccines. But it also seeks to compel them to take the booster shots as it becomes available.
00:36:20.520
Unfortunately, Marymount did not respond to our media inquiry.
00:36:25.480
And we also now know that you can get a third dose. So your coverage with this vaccine is maybe six
00:36:32.280
months. So how often do we have to get a dose of this vaccine?
00:36:39.240
The Liberal Party has campaigned on vaccinating the children.
00:36:42.920
...is to get through this pandemic. And I want to bring in those boosters for Canadians.
00:36:47.960
And I want to make sure that our five to 11 year olds get vaccinated.
00:36:53.480
Despite children being the strongest age group of all when it comes to deaths,
00:36:59.480
ICU admissions and hospitalizations. Even though the data doesn't add up,
00:37:08.280
But you know who else can't get vaccinated yet? Betty can't because she's only nine.
00:37:12.520
And just as we all step up to protect our elders, as we have over the past many months,
00:37:19.080
adults and grandparents across the country need to get vaccinated to protect Betty and my son,
00:37:25.560
Adrian, who's seven, and all the kids across the country who want to get vaccinated but can't yet.
00:37:31.080
Remy doesn't want his grand babies vaccinated. I have to respect that.
00:37:36.360
Well, the only way to the end game to get rid of all this is get rid of the politicians for one thing.
00:37:42.840
They need to stay the hell out of health and science and everything else because they don't
00:37:46.120
know nothing about it. One of the things that's lacking in all areas of people, it's the mind,
00:37:55.640
body and the spirit. They're missing one part of that. And a lot of people are just thinking
00:38:03.480
it's not connected to their heart or their spirit. So how could they actually make choices or let
00:38:10.200
anybody else make choices for them? Remy Olsen does not trust the government.
00:38:15.160
Residential school. How well did he do there? He does not trust the justice system either.
00:38:20.280
Well, the thing about the justice system, it ain't ours.
00:38:23.240
In Canada, it is legal to give a COVID-19 vaccine to an underage kid without their parents' consent.
00:38:30.920
You look at day school, how different is that? We're all herded into little lines and we're
00:38:36.680
getting needles almost every week and we didn't know what they were. Our parents didn't even know
00:38:40.760
we were getting needles. So, you know, you look at today, how much different is that now? And there's
00:38:48.280
no way that I'm going to allow that to happen to my grandchildren or my nephews, my nieces.
00:38:53.480
So pleased to have the family members to the kids that I do care for, for their support and
00:39:00.200
their backing. It means so much to me. Mary Mount does promise to accommodate those who may be exempt
00:39:07.240
from the vaccine due to health or religious reasons. Our people, we have a way of life.
00:39:12.200
Is that considered a religion? Give us a true definition of what religion is. How many different
00:39:18.040
denominations do you have? Yeah, the Catholic Anglices and the Protestants, all these different
00:39:22.440
religions. So which one is the right one where you can be exempt from getting immunized or the
00:39:29.800
needle or whatever? Do you think you could seek refuge in the justice system?
00:39:33.880
That is possible, but that takes time. And with things moving so slowly and with so many people
00:39:41.800
in the need to defend their jobs and defend their own human rights, I think the only refuge I have now
00:39:50.600
is the parents and grandparents of the children that I care for.
00:39:56.120
Fight. Fight for your rights. Fight for your own freedom. The freedom to think freely. And really take
00:40:05.880
a good look at what's going on right now. We're a team. You know, we're going to stand strong together
00:40:10.840
and do what's best for everybody involved. We're all human beings. Yeah. You know, when it comes down
00:40:16.760
to it, why should it be any different just because their skin is a different color?
00:40:23.240
We will be closely monitoring the situation in Manitoba. In any event, right now, we are providing
00:40:31.960
lawyers for the family. If you would like to learn more, click the link in the description below.
