Hello, my rebels. What if the broken airports in Canada, what if the failing economy is not an
00:00:06.480
accident, not a mistake, but actually on purpose? What if that's part of Trudeau's Build Back Better,
00:00:12.860
his Great Reset? Hear me out. I'll try and make the case that this is actually what Trudeau wants.
00:00:19.300
Before I get to that on the podcast, let me tell you about the video version of this podcast. We
00:00:24.080
call it the Ezra LeVant Show. It's actually how I design the show with video in mind. I often show
00:00:31.520
clips or charts or things like that, photographs. So I'd like to encourage you to subscribe for it.
00:00:36.940
It is eight bucks a month, but you get the nightly video version. Plus we have four other shows each
00:00:43.140
week. So every month that's 36 programs for just eight bucks a month. And of course we rely on that
00:00:50.460
money because we don't take any money from Trudeau, which is how we get to be so independent.
00:00:54.540
Anyhow, go to Rebel News Plus, rebelnewsplus.com. Click subscribe and Bob's your uncle. All right,
00:01:01.620
here's today's show. Tonight, what if the broken airports aren't a mistake,
00:01:20.220
but actually something that Trudeau wants, the Great Reset to build back better? It's June 30th,
00:01:28.280
You know, I think they talk more about Ukraine in parliament than they do about Alberta.
00:01:48.420
Canada. It's the same in the United States. Another day, another billion dollars added to the
00:01:53.360
nearly $50 billion sent to that country. I wonder if there's other parts of America that could use,
00:01:59.920
I don't know, $50 million to cope with problems. There is one thing Canada could do for Ukraine and
00:02:07.720
to check the power of Russia. Russia, which truly is an oil and gas economy. That's the vast majority of
00:02:15.140
their foreign currency. They are one of the world's largest producer of oil, basically tied with Saudi
00:02:21.720
Arabia and the United States as the top producer. And natural gas, not only do they have enormous
00:02:27.420
amount, but they have a near monopoly on supplying gas, especially to parts of Europe, the Baltics,
00:02:36.260
even Germany, 30 to 40 percent of their energy comes from Russia. And as you know, we've talked
00:02:42.680
about this before. When you put sanctions on Russia, if you're part of Europe, you're actually
00:02:48.580
putting sanctions on yourself because Russia could probably survive having its gas pipeline to Germany
00:02:55.140
cut off. But could Germany? Well, the answer is obviously no, because they haven't cut it off. So all the
00:03:01.500
tough talk about sanctions of Russia. There's a giant asterisk, which is that Europe hasn't stopped
00:03:08.860
buying Russian oil and gas for one day. In fact, the only change is that they're now buying much of
00:03:16.640
it in rubles as the currency, which has strengthened the Russian economy. The ruble tumbled early in the
00:03:23.060
war. Now it's fully recovered. My point is that I don't think Russia has lost in some of the ways that
00:03:30.620
the Western media says they have. I think it's lost reputationally and some of the oligarchs have had
00:03:36.880
their yachts seized. And I think diplomatically things are terrible. But economically, I think
00:03:43.640
they've done OK because of oil and gas. Which brings us to Canada, because Canada actually has the third
00:03:53.600
largest oil reserves in the world, courtesy of the oil sands. And in fact, we have half of the world's
00:04:00.980
accessible oil. What I mean by that is you can't just go to Saudi Arabia and start drilling. You need
00:04:07.060
the permission of the government. They have a monopoly over there. If you want oil and gas, Alberta
00:04:12.140
is the place. Except that is the one thing Justin Trudeau will not do for Ukraine. He'll give money.
00:04:20.300
He'll give a few weapons, though his talk is bigger than his action. He'll go and visit Kiev and hang out
00:04:27.620
with the rock band U2. But the one thing Justin Trudeau actually could do that he refuses to do
00:04:36.360
is open up the pipes of Canadian oil and gas to not just Ukraine, but other European countries.
00:04:44.880
He refuses. He refuses. He refuses to build pipelines. He refuses to allow the replacement
00:04:52.000
of Russian conflict oil with Canadian ethical oil. He will not be moved on that. All he'll offer is some
00:05:02.080
talk about green energy. It's not what Ukraine needs right now. And it got me thinking
00:05:09.660
that what Trudeau really wants is for oil and gas to be phased out. He doesn't want the oil and gas
00:05:17.600
sector to be successful. He means it when he cuts off pipelines. And it got me thinking of another
00:05:25.320
economic disaster that's happening right now in Canada. I mean, I think killing the pipelines
00:05:31.440
is an enormous economic disaster that will take trillions of dollars out of the Canadian economy
00:05:37.380
over time and hundreds of thousands of jobs over time. And of course, it will not allow us to displace
00:05:44.620
OPEC and Russian crude oil. But what about what's going on in the airlines? Take a look at these images
00:05:50.800
from Toronto Pearson Airport, the largest in the country. Montreal is even worse. Here,
00:05:57.040
take a listen to this fella from Montreal's airport.
00:06:02.200
We're getting very close to that. We're having discussions. And it's likely either the frequencies,
00:06:11.280
the number of flights that we'll have on a given destination, or destinations themselves. But it's
00:06:17.160
very sensitive, obviously. We have people that have booked vacation. So the airlines will have to be
00:06:22.400
extremely careful on how they manage that. But it's likely that to get some equilibrium in this
00:06:27.380
and rebalance the system, we'll have to get to that. The airports are in free fall. I saw the other
00:06:33.900
day that Air Canada is simply suspending many of its flights. For example, it no longer services
00:06:40.980
Moncton or Bathurst, New Brunswick. Sorry, guys, just can't do it. I received an email,
00:06:46.260
as I'm sure many of you did. It looked like a mass email from the CEO of Air Canada, explaining that
00:06:53.540
they simply cannot fly as they want to. They're, I understand, canceling 154 flights per day. That's
00:07:02.360
tens of thousands of people. Some of that's just a vacation. But some of it's important,
00:07:09.400
not just business meetings, but a wedding, a funeral. And isn't a family vacation once a year?
00:07:16.620
Especially if you haven't had one during the pandemic. That's important, too. Why are they
00:07:21.500
being canceled? I mean, look at this incredible view of the baggage carousel in Toronto. It's not
00:07:29.100
actually Air Canada's fault. It's not actually WestJet's fault. Some parts of it are. I mean,
00:07:35.900
they make mistakes, too. And they were only too happy to go along with the federal government's
00:07:40.400
demand that they fire their unvaccinated staff. That can't help when you take hundreds of
00:07:46.240
both airplane staff, but ground staff, gate agent staff, out of the picture. But as we've gone
00:07:52.740
through in some detail before, as demonstrated by Duncan D., the former COO of Air Canada,
00:07:57.440
it's the absurd rules that the government has newly imposed upon the industry that are breaking it.
00:08:03.780
Airports are not mass health triage facilities. They're designed for quick on and quick off the
00:08:09.460
planes. And once you start adding hours to any one flight, it's a domino effect. It's destroyed the
00:08:14.940
industry for months to come. But I was thinking about Trudeau saying, no, we do not want to revive
00:08:23.020
the Canadian oil patch. We do not want to build pipelines, even though that is actually an enormous
00:08:27.880
thing that could really help Ukraine. Trudeau doesn't believe in doing the one thing they
00:08:36.620
actually need because he is so ideologically committed to phase out the oil sands. He said
00:08:42.740
so himself. Take a listen. We can't shut down the oil sands tomorrow. We need to phase them out. We need
00:08:50.080
to manage the transition off of our dependence on fossil fuels. That is going to take time. And in the
00:08:55.500
meantime, we have to manage that transition. And so it got me thinking about these airports.
00:09:02.660
Trudeau doesn't think that there's a crisis. He's certainly not acting like it. He hasn't taken
00:09:09.000
any steps, even though there's obvious steps he could take immediately to make the problem better.
00:09:14.400
He wants this. Now, why would he want it? I think he likes the idea of reduce flying.
00:09:21.780
I think he likes the World Economic Forum motto, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
00:09:28.780
He uses the phrase, build back better, as all the globalists do. But Trudeau's actually never built
00:09:37.000
anything in his life. He's never fixed a problem. He's never created something. When he says build back
00:09:44.540
better, he's not talking about building pipelines or building an economy. He means building in a new
00:09:50.660
ideological approach to things. Build back better means build back more socialistically, build back
00:09:57.220
more environmentally, not to actually build anything better, but to inject his ideology into things.
00:10:04.460
The crumbling air industry in Canada isn't a bug. It's a feature. It's what he wants.
00:10:12.100
He wants it to punish people who were unvaccinated and he didn't want them to fly at all. But he wants
00:10:20.680
to punish people who make the foolish choice to engage in a high carbon livestock. Himself accepted,
00:10:27.600
of course. I see that Trudeau is overseas again, this time I think in Madrid. He's in Canada less and
00:10:34.980
less. Have you noticed that? He was sick. He got COVID the other day, but he keeps flying. Funny for
00:10:41.820
you and me, that would be illegal. You're not allowed to fly into Canada if you're sick. You're
00:10:46.400
not allowed to fly out of Canada if you're sick. But he said he got COVID despite being allegedly
00:10:52.260
triple jab, but he flew in and flew out. He did not quarantine. Laws don't apply to him. He keeps
00:10:58.000
flying, but he's obviously not flying through Pearson International Airport or the airport named after his
00:11:04.240
father in Montreal. He's flying private. He keeps flying. I think Canada is in deep trouble, but I'm
00:11:11.740
happy to see that some foreign media are noticing. Remember, it was when a former NHL player who now
00:11:17.900
works for a U.S. sports broadcaster called Barstool Sports was trapped in Pearson Airport and did a viral
00:11:25.520
rant. That's what finally caused Trudeau to lift the rule against the unvaccinated flying. I noticed
00:11:32.100
that the Wall Street Journal has taken an interest in the meltdown in the Toronto and Montreal airports,
00:11:38.460
and why not? Those two cities are extremely connected to the United States. In the before times,
00:11:44.860
there must have been 50 flights a day between Toronto and New York, between Montreal and Boston. I mean,
00:11:52.100
those two hubs between Vancouver and L.A. All of that was restricted because of Trudeau's bizarre rules as he
00:12:00.560
builds back better. And so it's sort of natural that American media are paying attention. I'm very
00:12:05.680
hopeful because the Canadian media doesn't really much care about anything, really about anything.
00:12:14.340
They're part of the team. I think that there's a problem in Canada as the government oozes in every
00:12:22.560
part of light. And that's why I mentioned the Wall Street Journal, because I think we need some
00:12:26.240
foreigners to help us. In Canada, too many things have been absorbed by the centre.
00:12:32.600
In Canada, build back better means like what I said it does. It's not to actually build back better.
00:12:37.460
It's not to improve prosperity for people. Justin Trudeau says he cares about inflation,
00:12:42.060
but he will not do something he can do immediately to fight inflation, which is remove his carbon tax.
00:12:47.720
You remove the carbon tax, you lower the price of everything. That's the opposite of inflation.
00:12:52.720
Now, when you fill up for gas, obviously, it's cheaper, but everything that runs on gas,
00:12:57.160
from tractors at the farm to trucks that bring you stuff to your store. In a flick of a switch,
00:13:02.920
Justin Trudeau could make the country better, more prosperous and ease inflation significantly.
00:13:08.860
He will not. Because this is exactly what he always meant when he said a carbon tax will make you
00:13:17.520
make better choices. It'll force better choices on your life from no flying to simply living smaller.
00:13:27.780
Mr. Speaker, what the Prime Minister doesn't realize is Canadians are suffering. Canadians are suffering
00:13:34.360
because he's increasing taxes year after year, month after month on the backs of everyday Canadians
00:13:41.880
who cannot afford the price of gasoline. Mr. Speaker, his government, with the help of the NDP,
00:13:48.660
are raking in billions of dollars of extra revenue while Canadians are suffering.
00:13:54.760
So when will the Prime Minister, for just a moment, empathize with everyday Canadians,
00:14:00.280
stop spreading information, and give Canadians a break?
00:14:04.060
Mr. Speaker, we will continue to spread information, including the information that is
00:14:15.120
that the price on pollution actually gives back more money to people in the provinces where it's imposed
00:14:21.780
than it takes away. An average family does better with this price on pollution in places like Ontario,
00:14:30.160
Saskatchewan, Alberta, because of the price on pollution. And indeed,
00:14:33.740
they should talk to their colleague from New Brunswick who wanted them to return to the federal
00:14:38.860
measure because it puts more money back in the pockets of Canadians. We will continue to have
00:14:44.500
Canadians back and fight climate change. So it's no coincidence that Trudeau's focus, his obsession,
00:14:53.540
all his legislative efforts are not to help people economically or not to heal our country after the
00:15:01.660
rift that he spread between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. All of his proposed laws are
00:15:07.620
extremely political. I mentioned his censorship laws. And now, and on Canada Day, he's locking down
00:15:16.220
the capital city. He's not welcoming Canadians to the capital in a moment of patriotism and healing.
00:15:22.400
It's locked down tighter than North Korea's capital. And just yesterday, Trudeau ministers released some
00:15:30.220
hate study, some anti-hate campaign brochure for schools, but it's actually full of hate for his
00:15:40.320
enemies. In this hate brochure published with taxpayers' dollars where a liberal cabinet minister was in
00:15:46.880
attendance. They say that the conservative party, by name, Trudeau's personal enemies, are full of hate.
00:15:53.260
And they say the old Canadian red ensign, the old flag that predated the liberal flag of Pearson, that that is a
00:16:01.580
hate symbol. The flag under which Canadian soldiers fought in two world wars, that is officially a hate symbol
00:16:10.100
under the government's anti-hate kit for schools. It is a school kit. It's incredible. But just as incredible
00:16:21.780
is the reaction from all the establishment. I don't even think the Conservative Party of Canada spoke out
00:16:29.080
against that. So many things are co-opted. I told you the other day of Monty Solberg and his Alberta Reset
00:16:36.940
campaign. Monty Solberg, a former Reform Party MP and Stephen Harper cabinet minister, is having a
00:16:43.940
conference featuring Gerald Butts and Mark Carney for a Great Alberta Reset with the Build Back Better
00:16:50.200
phase out of oil and gas. Everything's going in the wrong direction. Our symbols of the country are being
00:16:57.600
destroyed. Not only is the red ensign now a hate symbol, as our friend David Menzies told us,
00:17:04.100
handing out a flag for Canada Day, schools are now requiring parents to sign permission forms.
00:17:10.980
Did you see that story? Take a look. David Menzies for Rebel News outside Sunderland Public School here in
00:17:17.280
Sunderland, Ontario. And folks, the reason for our visit has to do with a story, a curious story involving
00:17:24.220
permission slips that went out earlier this month to many parents who have grade one students attending
00:17:32.940
this school. Essentially, the Sunderland Lions Club thought it would be a jolly good idea to give
00:17:40.260
grade one students a Canadian flag. But Principal Jennifer Fisher, she wasn't quite sure this was a good
00:17:49.640
idea. She had concerns. So out went permission forms. I'm not making this up, folks, to make sure that it
00:17:56.760
was okay for a grade one child in Sunderland, Canada to receive a Canadian flag. And I guess no good deed
00:18:06.040
goes unpunished these days. So here is what Principal Fisher said in her bizarre letter to parents, quote,
00:18:14.640
On June 28th, our grade one students will have the opportunity to meet with a member of the Sunderland
00:18:21.880
Lions Club to learn a little about the history of Canada and why we celebrate Canada Day. Students will
00:18:29.460
also have the opportunity to receive a Canadian flag from the Sunderland Lions Club. If you prefer that your
00:18:37.300
child does not receive a Canadian flag, please return the bottom portion of this letter to the school
00:18:44.680
prior to June 28th. If you do not return the form, your child will receive a flag, end quote. Principal
00:18:53.320
Fisher then noted to parents that if they had, quote, concerns about this presentation of the flag, end
00:19:00.220
quote, then they should contact the child's teacher. Our anthem has been revised. Our capital is locked down. The
00:19:09.440
city of Ottawa is saying if you shout too much at Canada Day, you'll face a thousand dollar fine. I'm not sure how
00:19:16.980
all these things fit together, but it feels like it's a controlled, managed, purposeful decline of our country
00:19:26.740
choosing to waste away. This airport disaster is not happening throughout the United States. It's just not. It's
00:19:36.600
happening in Canada and it's been happening really for 90 days straight. It's not a whoopsie. After a while, you have to
00:19:43.280
think maybe this is on purpose. I don't know if you saw Sheila Gunn-Reed's story from just this morning, but as you may
00:19:50.100
know, the passport offices are a disaster too. One of the reasons for that is most passport staff still
00:19:57.080
are working from home. How does that even work if you have to get passports to the public? Well, listen, if
00:20:02.820
Justin Trudeau can take two years off from work, why can't his staff? But again, I don't think that's a
00:20:08.600
mistake. I think that's what he means by build back better. I think that's what he means by the great
00:20:12.320
reset. If you can't get your passport, you can't travel. You can't burn fuel. You can't see how other countries are
00:20:21.280
coping with COVID. They've moved on. So what did what did the liberal government do for the passport crisis? According to
00:20:29.500
Sheila's story, there is a request for proposals on the government procurement website this morning that to solve the
00:20:37.560
passport problem. Get this. They want to buy chairs. Chairs. So not to make the lineup shorter, but to make the
00:20:47.820
lineups permanent, but slightly more comfortable. So if you're sleeping outside a passport office, you can at least
00:20:54.600
sleep in a chair. That's the government solution to long passport lines, sometimes 24 hours long. They'll buy you a chair.
00:21:02.440
They're so certain that the problem will not be fixed in weeks and months that they're buying chairs.
00:21:09.880
I don't think this is an accident. I don't think it's possible to be this incompetent
00:21:15.420
by accident. I say again, Justin Trudeau hasn't actually built anything or fixed anything. But
00:21:20.860
amongst the Canadian government, I think there's enough civil servants who still do care that they
00:21:27.000
could fix the airports, fix the passports, fix these things. But I don't think they're being directed to. I think we are
00:21:35.660
being taught that our country is evil and racist and full of hate, that our history is nothing but genocide, and our
00:21:42.180
future is endless struggle sessions with woke. I think we're being told that we'll be that we'll own nothing and we'll be
00:21:49.580
poor, but we'll be happy. We won't fly anymore. And that we will be built back better in Trudeau's image.
00:21:57.000
I find it a dark time. I'm not trying to be pessimistic. I'm just telling you what I see. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:22:16.760
There's a funny phenomenon about Canadians writing about Canada in foreign media. Sometimes liberals
00:22:23.040
writing the Guardian or even the New York Times and they paint a picture of Canada that I just simply
00:22:27.460
don't recognize. It's like they want to embellish the story to make Canada, it's almost like they're
00:22:33.860
virtue signaling on behalf of the entire country. It's odd, though, because it's not really reporting.
00:22:39.140
It's more, you know, what they wish Canada were. They wish it were more of a liberal icon that was
00:22:48.220
more successful, just the way, I don't know, during the 80s and 90s, Sweden was held up as the social
00:22:52.980
democratic ideal. I feel that's how it is. And it always bothers me when leftists or liberals
00:22:58.340
misrepresent Canada abroad. But there are a couple of Canadians who managed to write about Canada
00:23:04.600
in foreign outlets in a very sober-minded way, even critical sometimes, and sometimes even with a
00:23:12.460
conservative point of view. My friend J.J. McCullough does that in the Washington Post. And
00:23:17.240
I love to read it. He's a great writer. But to watch the gnashing of teeth of those who are trying
00:23:23.240
to create this foreign image of Canada as something that it isn't, that's actually my favorite part of
00:23:28.980
it. It's not just that J.J.'s a great writer. It's watching the rage, we own Canada's foreign
00:23:35.740
reputation. How dare you? Well, our next guest is someone else who manages to find a large
00:23:42.120
foreign platform to talk about Canada. And I love, love, love his articles themselves.
00:23:49.780
But I have to tell you even more, I love the reaction to them. I'm talking about Rav Aurora.
00:23:55.860
Just a few weeks ago, he wrote in the mighty New York Post an essay called Once a Liberal Democracy,
00:24:00.520
Canada is now an authoritarian state. We'll talk about that and other things. Rav, what a pleasure
00:24:07.080
to have you on the show today. Thanks for joining us. Hey, Ezra. It's good to be here. Well, it's
00:24:12.780
great. I'm surprised we haven't talked yet. It's been a while. I know. Well, it's a delight to have
00:24:17.660
you on the show. And I like your writing for itself. And if it were in the National Post or the Globe and
00:24:23.600
Mail, I would like it too. But I really like the fact that you are disabusing the world of their
00:24:28.940
fairy tales about Canada. I mean, I think there is sort of a foreign liberal media class that looks
00:24:35.600
up to Justin Trudeau as some role model. And I think you're bringing him down to earth a little
00:24:41.100
bit with columns like the ones you've had in the New York Post. Yeah, yeah. Trudeau has this
00:24:49.080
international reputation of being an icon for freedom, inclusivity, welcoming people, freedoms.
00:24:56.320
But if you look at my story, right, my family came from India about 10, 15 years ago. And we left
00:25:06.040
India in search for more freedoms and for more ability to pursue the dreams that we wanted to
00:25:11.560
pursue. And that's financially, creatively, vocationally. And I know I'm here pursuing my
00:25:17.260
dream as a writer and a podcaster and doing pretty well for myself. But as I mentioned in that New
00:25:23.660
York Post article, it's stunning to me how here in Canada, my freedoms are more restricted than they
00:25:33.640
would have been in India in terms of my freedom to travel and to like, like go to a gym for a while
00:25:40.120
and gyms are closed down to go to a restaurant, travel across Canada, travel from through the border
00:25:47.380
to go to the United States. All these things are restricted for a very long time, unlike my home
00:25:51.500
country in India. So it's very bizarre for myself and for my family members as well, who are also
00:25:58.640
unvaccinated, who, you know, we're here in the supposedly free liberal democracy, yet we're not
00:26:06.140
able to go back home and see our relatives or we're not able to go to a gym for a while or not able to
00:26:11.380
eat out at a restaurant. Like this is not the Canadian dream. This is not the free liberal
00:26:16.880
democracy that we thought we moved to for a while. And thankfully now they've, they've suspended the
00:26:22.980
vaccine mandates, although who knows what happens with that. But for the longest time, I felt really
00:26:28.100
let down as an immigrant from an immigrant family who have done so much to qualify and to get here and to
00:26:35.140
really rise from rock bottom. My parents working at restaurants, working in taxi, doing all sorts of
00:26:41.700
small jobs in order to pursue Canadian freedom. And yet here we are and our freedoms were just
00:26:47.520
fundamentally taken away for the longest time. You know, you're talking about the lockdowns and
00:26:51.520
obviously I share your views on that, but even though some of the lockdowns are lifted, including
00:26:56.640
some of the travel bans, we see the echo of the authoritarian flourish that Trudeau had with the
00:27:03.440
Emergencies Act. The reason I want to, I mean, I want to, you have, you have another important piece
00:27:07.720
that I want to get to today. You looked at a new myocarditis study, but back to this authoritarian
00:27:12.960
thing just for one minute. Today, you know, we're in the lead up to Canada Day. Parliament Hill is
00:27:19.960
literally locked down. There's a fence around it. There's one gate. You have to please the police
00:27:26.620
officers to be allowed in. They're shutting down streets. I see the Ottawa City Council is saying that
00:27:32.500
you could be fined $1,000 if you shout or make an unusual noise. What? There's so many strange
00:27:39.560
things. The police chief is saying he might arrest you if you have signs that don't, that he doesn't
00:27:44.920
like. We had a reporter there yesterday, David Menzies, who said the police said if there's any
00:27:50.400
flags that insult Trudeau, those will be banned. Well, hang on. I mean, that's what they do in North
00:27:56.560
Korea or Iran. Is that really how we roll in Canada? So I agree with you on the lockdowns,
00:28:00.600
but it's much more than just the COVID lockdowns. It's the censorship. It's the police
00:28:05.520
partisanship. I think that Canada really is losing a lot of its freedoms. Yes, it was all accelerated
00:28:11.800
by COVID, but there's a lot of other things too, isn't there? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And it's absolutely
00:28:18.340
grievous the way that they're locking things down ahead of Canada Day. And, you know, I thought this
00:28:24.180
is a place where we could, you know, patriotically celebrate and in all different colors and forms
00:28:29.340
and with all the diversity that characterizes Canada as a free liberal democracy, yet we
00:28:35.800
have these bizarre statements from the police chief. I mean, I don't know what that even
00:28:40.520
means of signs or flags that are critiquing Trudeau that might be considered transgressive.
00:28:48.680
I mean, we're, you're walking on a pretty slippery slope there when we're getting into that kind of
00:28:53.380
subjective place. I don't know what that, what that would look like and how they would enforce
00:28:58.140
those kinds of rules and restrictions. But it's, again, another example of why I think our country
00:29:06.140
is further and further plunging into this left-wing authoritarianism, starting from lockdown,
00:29:12.800
starting from COVID, vaccine mandates. And all along, I've been watching this and early on during
00:29:18.560
the lockdowns, I was actually for them. And a lot of my conservative friends were like, oh,
00:29:23.680
did you just wait, just wait till this progresses and we see more and more authoritarianism. And I was
00:29:28.340
like, you know what, it's okay, just a few weeks, a few months. All right, all right. And then vaccine
00:29:32.380
mandates came and that really woke me up. And it's like, oh, wow, this is not free liberal democracy
00:29:38.260
that I thought I moved to. So we're seeing this more and more and with the online censorship as well,
00:29:43.000
the bills that are being passed right now, trying to regulate the internet more and more to
00:29:47.940
promote cultural Canadian content online. It's really bizarre, the amount of control
00:29:56.020
that the liberal government is exercising. And it's really strange to me how many Canadian elites
00:30:01.840
are just falling for it. I mean, I think I wrote this in Glenn Greenwald's Substack. I wrote a big
00:30:07.680
essay on the truckers protests back in February. And one of the things I said was that Trudeau has become
00:30:14.720
the monstrous authoritarian leader that everyone feared Trump would be. And because Justin Trudeau
00:30:22.280
is on the left, and because he supports LGBTQ2IA45 plus rights, and because he is inclusive and likes
00:30:31.800
brown people, apparently, and dressing up as brown people, whatever. But because he has this banner of
00:30:38.640
liberal inclusivity, he's allowed to get away with many things that Trump didn't even do, despite his
00:30:45.920
horrible character and all the bad faith things that he arguably did. We're seeing a lot of this
00:30:56.120
restrictive clamping down of opposition, of freedom here in Canada. And it's largely going
00:31:02.500
unrecognized and uncritiqued because the elite media class is on the side of Trudeau.
00:31:08.180
You know, Trump never brought in a censorship bill. Trump never jailed his opponents. He didn't
00:31:14.540
have them arrested. Trump was a doer. He was a fixer. I mean, he had a rhetorical flourish. He was
00:31:22.040
a showman. You could even say a showboat. But he got things done. The irony is now we need a fixer-doer
00:31:27.020
more than ever. How do you fix our Canadian airports? They're just a mess. How do you fix inflation?
00:31:31.100
How do you fix things that aren't working? We could use a doer and a fixer. But instead,
00:31:36.880
we have what they always projected onto Trump, like you say, the authoritarian. I love it when
00:31:43.220
you publish these things in the New York Post because it drives the left crazy. But I want to
00:31:47.380
talk about a serious piece of journalism that you did on your own Substack. And that's at
00:31:52.760
ravaurora.substack.com. Did I get that right? Yeah. And it's about myocarditis, which is a word that
00:32:00.920
I don't think one in a thousand people had ever heard of until a year ago. It's the inflammation
00:32:06.580
of the heart muscle, pericarditis. It's a related inflammation. There's no such thing as mild
00:32:13.200
myocarditis, by the way. Now, I don't think you're a technical scientist yourself, but you looked
00:32:19.960
at the latest medical research on the subject and you published this on Substack. And the reason I
00:32:25.800
mentioned your website is because you cannot publish that sort of thing just anywhere.
00:32:29.760
That will be taken off Facebook. That'll be taken off Instagram. You publish it on YouTube,
00:32:35.500
you will be demonetized or your entire channel will be canceled. You will have the official fact
00:32:40.940
checkers call it fake news. But you actually delved into a medical study. Why don't I give you the floor
00:32:47.720
for a couple of minutes? Tell our folks what you discovered in the latest medical research and what
00:32:53.000
you published on your Substack. Yeah, it was a very long piece. And this was a part two
00:32:58.760
to my original vaccine myocarditis article from January. And I'll just quickly say, by the way,
00:33:05.400
that the reason why it's on Substack is not, it's not because I just wanted it to be there. It's because
00:33:12.700
I was forced to self-publish. It's there, you know, I'm not going to name any people, but even
00:33:18.560
conservative leading outlets don't want anything to do with that kind of reporting. It's really,
00:33:24.000
it's really unfortunate. And I, you know, you know, there are some outlets that were interested
00:33:28.180
in it. And I, as an independent writer, I pick which outlets that I would like to associate with.
00:33:34.760
And certain outlets are a little too ideological for me and I stay away from them. But this decision
00:33:39.160
to self-publish was in some ways really unfortunate because it's, it was, you know, it's up to me. And I
00:33:44.420
had to send this to people on Twitter and email it around and, you know, try to get the word out
00:33:49.800
there myself. But it's, it's really unfortunate that we live in this kind of climate where this
00:33:54.240
kind of reporting, I think should be published in the New York times or the Atlantic, like legitimately
00:33:59.220
it's, I was talking about peer reviewed studies. I interviewed somebody, I, somebody who had vaccine
00:34:06.580
myocarditis, I interviewed a professor at Stanford. And, and we can, I can lay that out for you a little
00:34:12.860
bit now. So I, as a young male, let me just, first of all, say as a young male, when I started seeing
00:34:20.240
the vaccine mandates last year and started looking into the costs and the benefits of this and who
00:34:24.960
should be taking this, I noticed like, Oh, okay. There's a heart inflammation risk here. It's not
00:34:30.000
zero. And the earliest data we had from Israel was showing like a one in 5,000 risk of developing
00:34:36.200
myocarditis after double vaccination. And at that point it was totally dismissed as conspiracy theory.
00:34:41.900
Anybody who even mentioned that like Alex Berenson was, was reprimanded and punished on Twitter and
00:34:47.580
eventually banned for saying things like that. But now over time, many things that were considered
00:34:53.660
first right-wing conspiracies, many things that were just merely speculative are now being shown in
00:35:02.300
clinical research that this is a real risk that we seriously downplayed and ignored. And I guess I can
00:35:10.960
start with the, the, the, the individual that I interviewed, a South Asian 33 year old man working
00:35:16.360
in law enforcement here. He was super healthy, super fit, regularly exercising at the gym, really
00:35:23.800
takes care of his bodies, takes care of his body. And he was forced to get the vaccine because he's,
00:35:30.040
he's a federal employee. He's part of law enforcement and he wasn't interested in it, but he just,
00:35:34.580
you know, he, he had to, so he did. And after the first shot, the first Pfizer shot, he experienced
00:35:41.000
these intense heart palpitations for a little bit, but because he wasn't notified, there was no
00:35:47.600
public messaging on this. There was no public awareness. There was no honesty on the part of
00:35:52.080
public health authorities that, Hey, there's this known real harmful risk associated with the vaccine.
00:35:58.920
And if you experienced this, you should go to the hospital right away, or you should see a doctor.
00:36:04.360
So informed, you know, informed consent was totally violated. There was none of that. There
00:36:09.140
was no information. And, you know, in the first place, I think vaccines should have never been
00:36:13.960
mandated or even publicly universally recommended to everybody over the age of 12 or 15. But then,
00:36:20.760
okay, if you're going to distribute the vaccines, if you're going to mandate it, which is monstrous to me,
00:36:25.840
at least give the public information about this, like, Hey, if you feel chest pain,
00:36:30.420
you should see somebody right away. But this individual, he didn't know any of that. He just
00:36:34.800
got the vaccine. He didn't even know what myocarditis was the, you know, that it was not even a word in
00:36:39.460
his vocabulary. So he just brushed it aside and eventually the palpitations subsided. And then he
00:36:47.280
got the second dose about 30 days later. And a few days after that, he experienced this horrible
00:36:54.560
burning chest pain. And he was vomiting repeatedly, he wasn't thinking straight. And he, he felt like
00:37:03.480
something was just like consuming him on the inside of his chest. And he's a very rough and
00:37:08.380
tough guy. You know, he's very sort of when I talked to him, he seems very dispositionally kind
00:37:14.160
of conservative. And, you know, he's not one to complain. He said he never he's never called 911
00:37:19.040
before. And he wasn't going to he thought it might have been food poisoning or some other illness that
00:37:25.200
was mild. But then his girlfriend forced him to call 911. You know, shout out to her. She basically
00:37:30.860
saved his life. The ambulance comes and they measured his heart rate. It's 210 beats per minute.
00:37:39.680
They're stunned. He's alive. They have to shock his heart back into a normal rhythm. And I won't give you
00:37:45.220
all the details. People can read the whole story online. He gets to the hospital. And the doctor
00:37:49.720
looks at him right away. And then by the way, he lucks out because he's and he's in Victoria at the
00:37:54.800
time, at the Royal Jubilee Hospital that has a specialized cardiology unit that were able to
00:38:00.100
diagnose him right away. If he was at a different hospital, things could have been a bit more
00:38:04.060
complicated. But the doctor looked at him right away. He's like, this is vaccine myocarditis,
00:38:08.760
like 100%. And after that, he's in the ICU for for several days, he's given five medications,
00:38:15.220
and he's five, six months in still not able to exercise, go to work. His life has been totally
00:38:21.940
ruined. He was going to get married, move to a new place. He was progressing in his career path. All
00:38:27.980
those things were totally put on hold because Justin Trudeau chooses what you do with your body. Now,
00:38:33.960
you don't have that individual freedom. Yeah. Well, that's an incredible story. And, and,
00:38:39.120
of course, there's many like it and many don't get reported either to the government,
00:38:43.780
or certainly to the media. Now, when you said there was a one in 5,000 risk, I think you said
00:38:49.680
that was an early stat. What are the stats today? And what are they by age breakdown? The reason I
00:38:54.520
ask is in the very first days of this virus, we didn't know a lot. There was a lot of misinformation
00:39:02.260
in the real sense of that word, not the accusatory political sense of that word.
00:39:06.900
A lot of guesswork. But within a few months, it became pretty clear that this was a disease that
00:39:12.300
targeted the elderly, and especially those with underlying conditions. In a way, it's just like
00:39:17.020
other coronaviruses. It's like the annual flu. If you're 80 years old and sick to begin with,
00:39:23.300
yeah, be careful. But if you're fit and 33 like your friend, you don't really have to worry. So a one
00:39:29.540
in 5,000 risk, and maybe you can clarify for me what the risk is. If you are at a lower risk of
00:39:38.340
the virus, the vaccine, if it's a higher risk, you ought not to take it, I would think, unless the
00:39:46.760
risk of the virus was so deadly. And again, getting the virus for most people, it's very survivable,
00:39:51.400
depends on their age and their fitness. So if you are very at risk from COVID-19, I understand
00:39:56.620
taking a medicine that even has a riskiness to it. But the way you described your law enforcement
00:40:03.220
friend, 33 fit, working out all the time, no health problems, to make him take a vaccine that
00:40:09.840
is not fully tested yet, that's still deemed experimental, when the risk of myocarditis was
00:40:15.880
quite likely higher than any risk he had from the virus, that is a form of statistical murder.
00:40:21.260
You're making a decision, if you're going to dose 20 million or 30 million people,
00:40:28.080
and you know that the stats from the vaccine suggest you'll have this thousand, this many
00:40:33.600
thousand cases of myocarditis, and this many hundred or dozen will die. But you know on a large scale that
00:40:41.040
you're only likely going to save a fraction of that from the virus, you are making a choice that will
00:40:47.040
actually kill more people than it saves. If the stats are right, what are the stats? What are the
00:40:54.960
Yeah, so in some sense, we're still getting more data as we speak. And a year from now,
00:41:00.700
we'll have a much more definitive picture, right? Like all these things are still very, very new.
00:41:05.780
And that's, you know, initially when the vaccines were rolled out, when people were talking about
00:41:10.940
risk, the people on the other side, the pro-vaccine zealots were like, oh, there's no evidence for
00:41:18.600
that. There's no evidence for myocarditis. There's no evidence of fertility issues. So
00:41:22.320
therefore just take it. It's like, that's not how it works. You have to show this is safe and
00:41:28.600
effective. You can't just say there's no evidence of it and then just distribute it and administer it
00:41:34.320
to tens of millions of people all of a sudden. You actually have to show that this is something
00:41:39.740
that's safe and effective and that it has a lasting impact. And initially with the vaccine,
00:41:45.320
even this idea of waning efficacy was considered a conspiracy theory. And that's one of the reasons
00:41:52.060
why Alex Berenson, former New York Times reporter, was also banned from Twitter. But in terms of
00:41:59.220
myocarditis, there was a paper at Oxford University in December that definitively showed that for men
00:42:07.800
under the age of 40, the risk of vaccine myocarditis is far higher than the risk of
00:42:16.080
myocarditis from infection, from COVID infection. And they show that for Pfizer and for Moderna.
00:42:24.200
And now we had another new study that came out in, it was a large scale Nordic study and it looked at
00:42:31.560
20 plus million people who had gotten the vaccine. And they looked and they measured the outcomes,
00:42:37.600
they measured the side effects, and they broke it down by age and by gender and comorbidities and
00:42:42.900
all of it. And for men between the ages of 16 to 24, the risk of infection-induced myocarditis,
00:42:54.240
so heart inflammation from COVID itself, was about 13.7 per million cases. Now for the vaccine,
00:43:04.720
the rates were far higher, even with the first Pfizer dose. And Pfizer is far less likely to
00:43:12.640
induce myocarditis in those who get it. But even with the first Pfizer dose, the rate was about 15
00:43:18.560
per million. For the second Pfizer dose, I think it was about 30 to 40 per million. But for the
00:43:26.040
Moderna second dose, which is associated with the highest myocarditis rates, it was 185 cases per
00:43:32.880
million. Now, when you multiply these, like for some people that, you know, that number is not going to
00:43:39.480
really mean much because when you're dividing by a million, that's pretty small. But you have to
00:43:44.700
compare that to the risk of COVID, which we know is vanishingly small for young, healthy people.
00:43:52.760
And when you, you know, when you compare the relative risks, it's absolutely clear that vaccine
00:43:59.860
myocarditis is a real concern. And the individual that I interviewed as well, this is just anecdotal,
00:44:09.680
but this speaks to the prevalence of this problem. He told me that at the hospital he was at, he was
00:44:16.400
the third vaccine myocarditis patient at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in the past 45 days. Okay, that's
00:44:24.840
that's one hospital in Canada, three vaccine, three hospitalized vaccine myocarditis cases in 45 days.
00:44:32.320
That's one out of 1300 major hospitals in Canada, in the span of 45 days, when you multiply that out,
00:44:39.680
you're getting 1000s of cases, right, if that's indicative. And also one thing to add to that to
00:44:46.280
the cardiology clinic he was at, he was the fourth vaccine myocarditis patient in recent weeks. Okay, how
00:44:53.880
many cardiology clinics are there in Canada, when you multiply this out, it's clear that what has been
00:45:00.700
done here has been this large scale experiment, and there are uncounted victims of these aggressive
00:45:09.420
mandates, and there's no accounting for that. There's no, there's no apology, there's no
00:45:14.840
justification, there's no real accounting for any of why this was done and why this was not just
00:45:22.240
universally recommended, but universally mandated. It didn't matter prior. In fact, it didn't matter if
00:45:27.040
you were 25 years old, or if you were 75. And this is, I think, just the prime reason why I've just
00:45:33.720
woken up to this, this is this horrible, authoritarian nightmare that we live here in Canada.
00:45:40.400
And we don't even know its effect yet on children who are being mandated in certain jurisdictions. Well,
00:45:47.200
Rob, it's nice to meet you. Good to talk with you. I'm going to put a link under this video to your
00:45:51.940
sub stack for people who want to read the details, because I know you gave us some stats off the top of your
00:45:57.000
head. But we'll link to the actual essays that you wrote, where I know you footnote things carefully,
00:46:02.520
and you link to the primary sources. Great to meet you. Keep fighting for freedom. It's wonderful
00:46:08.100
to hear. Keep annoying the bad guys. And thanks for making the time for us today.
00:46:12.800
Yeah, I appreciate it. And of course, anybody who wants to follow my work, I'm pretty much going
00:46:18.480
independent at this point for this kind of writing, the vaccine reporting. So please subscribe at
00:46:27.280
Right on. Well, we'll talk to you again soon. Thanks, Rob.
00:46:30.920
There you have it, Ravarora. Stay with us. My thoughts on your letters next.
00:46:44.600
Hey, welcome back. I got some letters for you. Catalan Radalescu says,
00:46:49.600
in all the previous years, the summer was the season with the lowest infection and death rates.
00:46:55.080
Now that most are jabbed, we have a sixth wave in the middle of the summer. What is the point for the
00:47:00.660
jab then? Well, I take your point. And one might say, if the jab is not actually a vaccine, why are we
00:47:09.800
still calling it that? Vaccines, by definition, for over 100 years, the definition of a vaccine was
00:47:16.360
something that you take it and you will not get sick. You just won't. I saw that Dr. Anthony Fauci
00:47:23.560
himself, the mask maven, the jab joker, he got COVID, which tells us that nothing is working.
00:47:34.040
Um, why are we still doing it other than, you know, as they say in Latin, qui bono? Who benefits? Well,
00:47:42.020
tens of billions, trillions of dollars has flowed and a lot of power.
00:47:45.380
M. Mars says, anyone want to bet the liberals will say in the coming weeks that all these problems can
00:47:53.240
be solved with a newly designed digital travel pass and app? Well, you're exactly right. Why do you
00:48:00.120
need that app, that Arrive Can app? Why are all these apps so essential, especially now that you don't
00:48:08.180
need to be jabbed to fly within Canada? Well, the app was sort of the point of it. As Yuval Noah Hariri of
00:48:17.860
the World Economic Forum said, COVID was the shock that got us to agree to the surveillance state.
00:48:25.220
Now that they've got us using these government apps, you think they're going to give that up?
00:48:30.100
Jasper says, Tucker Carlson nailed Trudeau to the cross yesterday. He was on a sampling of his special
00:48:36.660
program had a guest that knows Trudeau well. Well, I'll have to take a look at it. When you say he
00:48:42.420
nailed Trudeau to the cross, that implies that Trudeau is some sort of Jesus-like figure. I don't think
00:48:48.900
he is, but I think you just mean that he nailed him with facts. Tucker Carlson is an example of a
00:48:56.900
foreign journalist who is doing work that Canadian journalists won't do, scrutinizing and being
00:49:02.080
skeptical and opposing our government. The trouble with Canada is that 99 plus percent of journalists
00:49:08.000
are literally on the payroll of Trudeau. How could you possibly expect them to criticize Trudeau with
00:49:13.680
anything other than kid gloves? You get better journalism about Canada from the Daily Mail of
00:49:19.120
London, from the New York Post and from Tucker Carlson than you do from the Toronto Star,
00:49:23.120
the CBC or the Global Mail. That's just a fact. Well, that's our show for today. We'll have a very
00:49:27.840
special episode tomorrow on Canada Day. Of course, we have reporters in Ottawa on Canada Day to look
00:49:33.680
at the lockdowns. Until then, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.
00:49:38.480
Good night. Keep fighting for freedom. David Menzies for Rebel News here near Parliament Hill. Well,
00:49:44.160
we just saw a little action occur. It's Wednesday evening, two days before Dominion Day, and a man was
00:49:51.280
taken down by several parliamentary protective service constables. My colleagues William and Maurizio
00:50:00.320
are filming it as it unravels right now. We don't know what he did. We don't know if there was any
00:50:06.960
violence or vandalism involved, but hopefully we'll try to get answers for this.
00:50:23.600
All right, that's a lot. We'll get round of applause. Of resist...
00:50:44.780
I need someone, you guys follow these guys, follow them to the police station, and bring
00:51:21.220
Kyle, did you go through the screening or did you leave the...
00:51:24.220
Did you go through the screening or did you jump the fence?
00:51:42.220
He's been here since March, if you can imagine.
00:51:46.220
And he has told us that the person that we just saw arrested by about eight or nine parliamentary
00:51:53.220
protective service officers, his name is Kyle Vincent Boissel, I believe.
00:52:04.220
I would say that these guys, he's been calling them out, confronting them, telling them exactly who they are.
00:52:11.220
He was one of the first guys, actually the first guy in February when they wrestled him down, down over here.
00:52:18.220
And he got thrown down, he got kneed, busted ribs, got punched in the head, rifle butted in the head.
00:52:31.220
He had his back, had his back to these guys, had his back to these guys.
00:52:36.220
And they just yarded him, pulled him in, just like this.
00:52:39.220
So this might be one of the cops that was involved with that.
00:52:44.220
And so he turned his back to law enforcement on a public street and evidently that's a crime in Ottawa now?
00:52:52.220
And so he was calling them out over here today, just on Metcalf here.
00:53:00.220
They don't get, you know, you can do it a little bit.
00:53:03.220
But then obviously, you know, he went maybe overboard.
00:53:08.220
But now we had a brief interaction and not much was accomplished.
00:53:13.220
But I was curious, as you know, Pastor Alvin, the hill is closed off.
00:53:22.220
And I'm just wondering, did he hop this fence or?
00:53:33.220
And then that's when they wrestled him down there.
00:53:35.220
So is this maybe his so-called violation that he didn't go through the security properly?
00:53:44.220
He's been here since, you know, since, well, since the trucker's convoy and before that.
00:53:52.220
And so finally they, you know, they want to get rid of him.
00:53:56.220
And they said they had a warrant for his arrest.
00:53:58.220
I don't know the details of the warrant, but how would you describe his character?
00:54:08.220
The things that what we, what he's been teaching us and we've been teaching him is be at peace,
00:54:15.220
You know, we can say things and, you know, maybe confront, confront, confront the people,
00:54:21.220
you know, being a hypocrite, you say one thing, but then you do the next, you know, but not,
00:54:29.220
And that's the whole premise of this whole, whole thing.
00:54:32.220
It's not, it's not to be violent and just to be loving and, but be a thorn in their flesh.
00:54:39.220
Just 48 hours ago, Tamara Leach, you know, was, was arrested.
00:54:46.220
Allegedly, she was in breach of her bail conditions.
00:54:48.220
We don't know what those conditions are that she breached.
00:54:52.220
But, I don't know, you know, we're coming up to Canada's national holiday.
00:54:57.220
Canada is thought of as one of the great democracies in the world.
00:55:06.220
No, there's tension in the air, on the grounds here.
00:55:09.220
Yeah, I mean, they've got us, the streets locked down.
00:55:12.220
Like, we're, they figure we're a bunch of terrorists or something, you know, and that's so untrue.
00:55:24.220
Well, I know you're not a terrorist, Pastor Alvin, because if you are, you'd probably have a $10.5 million check in your pocket.
00:55:31.220
But that's the, that's the atmosphere right now in Ottawa, folks.
00:55:35.220
Like I said earlier, it is not one of celebration.
00:55:42.220
It shouldn't be this way when we are so close to celebrating our birthday.
