00:00:00.000
Good afternoon. Good morning, everybody, depending on which part of this beautiful country that
00:00:18.580
you're in. This is the Rebel News Weekly Roundup. I'm not quite sure what we're calling it anymore.
00:00:24.200
Friday Roundup. There's no intro. We haven't done that yet, but it is your daily. No, sorry. I've got
00:00:30.940
to retrain my language. Your weekly roundup of the news hosted by me, Sheila Gunn-Reed. Thanks for
00:00:38.420
joining us on this inaugural revamped roundup wherein we talk about the week's news, things
00:00:45.500
happening at Rebel News, things happening around the world completely unscripted, but it also gives
00:00:50.500
you a chance to take control of the show, have your say. If you're watching us on the censorship
00:00:56.560
platform of YouTube, you can engage in the live chat there, and that's great, but if you want to
00:01:03.100
engage in live chat and also support the work that we do here at Rebel News completely willingly
00:01:08.800
without the force of Justin Trudeau, as is the case with the mainstream media, might I suggest you bump
00:01:14.380
on over to Rumble or Odyssey. On Rumble, you can leave a paid chat called Rumble Rant. On Odyssey, it's
00:01:21.300
called a Hyper Chat. If your chat is over the $5 US minimum, we will read your chat on air, but don't let
00:01:31.140
that be a bar for participation. So if you leave a chat that's lower than that in financial support, who
00:01:39.820
knows, I just might read it on air. Sometimes if you leave interesting comments and they're free, Yankee
00:01:47.760
will send them to me and I will do my best to read them on air. So get talking and take control of the
00:01:54.600
show and you can support the work that we do here at Rebel News because we'll never take a penny from
00:01:58.660
Justin Trudeau to hold him to account. Like, how could you? How could you hold your sugar daddy to account,
00:02:06.480
mainstream media? Anyway, speaking of Justin Trudeau, wild, wild thing happening in the news in the
00:02:18.500
United States, as is so frequently the case, they're looking upon Canada and Justin Trudeau's censorship
00:02:24.900
with horror. Rupa Supramania of the Free Press, also formerly or sometimes of True North, she testified
00:02:36.900
before the US politicians yesterday, warning them, saying, you know, something she said that was very
00:02:48.680
interesting was, I'm not from the future. I'm just from Canada. And I'm here to warn you because what's
00:02:57.140
happened, what could happen in the United States is already happening in Canada with regard to free
00:03:03.200
speech. Let's go to this clip of Rupa at her testimony before the, I think it's the weaponization of social
00:03:10.440
media committee. Isn't it interesting? They have a committee named that. And in Canada, it's just
00:03:19.200
completely normal that Justin Trudeau weaponizes social media against his political enemies, which
00:03:24.900
are so often independent journalists in this country. Let's hear from Rupa.
00:03:40.440
Let's go to this video of DeSantis, just axe murdering California Governor Gavin Newsom.
00:04:00.180
Oh, apparently we have bad connection in this studio. So we're sorting that out. But in the meantime,
00:04:08.220
I'll keep talking because what would be an inaugural show without technical difficulties.
00:04:14.240
Anyways, I'll, I guess, talk about what Rupa was talking about in the, in the United States. Now,
00:04:22.360
in the United States, Rupa is treated as an expert on independent journalism and Justin Trudeau's
00:04:29.720
censorship of not just independent journalists, but of just regular people. And there are different
00:04:36.280
ways that Justin Trudeau has been censoring regular people. Some of it is through his censorship bills.
00:04:43.740
So C11, C18, controlling what you can see, say, and do on the internet and giving the
00:04:50.140
broadcast regulator control over the internet. But also he censors people by these other means,
00:05:00.140
as in, if you say something wrong, if you support financially, a protest movement that Justin
00:05:08.900
Trudeau disagrees with, you can have your bank account frozen. So why don't you just shut up a
00:05:13.600
little bit? And that, a lot of that happens. People say, I want to, I want to get involved. I want to
00:05:19.460
support things, but I'm worried about what the government is going to do to me if I do. And Rupa testified to
00:05:25.760
that. And I think we've got our technical difficulties sorted out. So let's roll. Rupa testifying in the
00:05:35.020
I'd like all of you to think of me as a time traveler from the not too distant future, coming
00:05:39.540
back to the present to offer you a glimpse of what could lie ahead for America. I live in a time in
00:05:45.120
which, in the name of fairness, you can't share the stories you write for my news publication on social
00:05:49.600
media. I live in a time in which, in the name of the common good, you can be kicked out of your bank and
00:05:54.300
online payment system simply for expressing the wrong political views. I live in a time in which,
00:05:59.680
in the name of social justice, you can commit a serious crime but get a more lenient sentence if
00:06:03.980
you happen to be the right skin color. I live in a time in which, in the name of safety, you can be
00:06:08.680
arrested for exercising your right to peaceful protest if you happen to be protesting the wrong
00:06:13.420
thing. Of course, I'm not a real time traveler. I just live in Canada. Americans, and perhaps those in
00:06:20.280
this chamber, surely think Canadians are too nice. We're too polite to embrace this sort of
00:06:25.080
proto-authoritarianism. But it's more accurate to say that our niceness made us susceptible to the
00:06:30.800
new authoritarianism, undermining the foundations of our liberal democracy. If it sounds like I'm
00:06:36.140
overstating things, allow me to share three stories that illustrate this creeping authoritarianism.
00:06:41.340
First, a few months ago, I reported a story from my publication, The Free Press, about a high school
00:06:46.520
principal in Toronto who had been humiliated in front of his colleagues by a DEI consultant.
00:06:51.880
The principal's crime, besides being white and male, was that he objected to the consultant's
00:06:57.120
assertion that Canada is a less just society than America. The humiliation he experienced
00:07:02.260
ultimately led him to commit suicide. I wanted to share that story on Facebook. When I tried to,
00:07:08.120
I was barred from posting it. I received a message that stated, in response to Canadian government
00:07:12.800
legislation, news content can't be shared. I was confused. Then I remembered the recently adopted
00:07:18.800
Online News Act. The law forces social media companies to pay online media companies to link
00:07:24.440
to their content. Facebook, instead of paying for that content, barred its users from posting it.
00:07:30.420
Government officials insist that this is only a matter of fairness, a way of making sure that media
00:07:34.900
companies are compensated for the news they report. But really, this new law props up legacy media
00:07:40.600
dinosaurs like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Bell Media, and other companies, which are
00:07:45.220
subsidized by the federal government, and all of which can be counted on to echo Justin Trudeau's
00:07:50.020
worldview and toe the party line. Not being able to post was annoying, but it wasn't the end of the
00:07:55.280
world for me. I don't depend on Facebook for my income. The same cannot be said of Christopher Curtis,
00:08:00.960
which brings me to my second story. Chris is a 38-year-old renegade journalist entrepreneur
00:08:05.960
in Montreal who runs a digital newsletter called The Rover. He calls himself Woke. You might think that he's
00:08:12.180
exactly the kind of journalist the Trudeau government would elevate. He's on the political left. He publishes
00:08:16.700
stories about the plight of the homeless and police brutality. The problem is that, unlike government-funded
00:08:21.780
news companies, independent media companies are truly independent, which means they report stories that don't
00:08:27.640
comport with whatever the government wants them to report. For example, in September 2020, The Rover reported a
00:08:33.380
story on federal mistreatment of Mohawk Indians. This month, it published a story about migrant workers
00:08:38.180
who had been abused in traffic with the unwitting help of the federal government. But under this new law,
00:08:43.800
The Rover can't build its audience. Unable to post content on Facebook or Instagram, the newsletter
00:08:49.100
can't reach new subscribers. It cannot grow its subscriber base. This is a slow death, says Chris. For now,
00:08:56.600
he's unsure how he's going to support his partner and their three-year-old daughter. He's thinking of going back
00:09:01.100
into construction. Which takes me to my third story. Danny Bulford, now 41, used to be an officer
00:09:06.800
in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the equivalent of the FBI. For years, he was a sniper in the
00:09:11.680
Prime Minister's protective detail. Then, in 2021, Danny quit because he didn't want to get his COVID
00:09:17.240
vaccination. In early 2022, truckers descended on Ottawa to protest new COVID vaccine requirements.
00:09:24.320
Danny joined them. The government declared a state of emergency. Danny, like many demonstrators,
00:09:29.480
was arrested and later released without charge. Then something chilling happened. On February 17,
00:09:35.160
2022, Danny logs into his bank accounts, starting with his checking and savings accounts at the
00:09:40.100
CIBC. But instead of seeing his ballots, he had about $160,000 in there. The only thing he saw was a
00:09:46.760
dash. Then he logs onto Scotiabank to see about an additional checking account. Once again, there was
00:09:51.880
no sign of any money in his account. Finally, he logs into the Royal Bank of Canada, which handles his
00:09:56.860
MasterCard account, and he was told he had no access to any credit. Danny's wife was also unable
00:10:02.280
to access any of these accounts. Suddenly, they were worrying about how to cover their next mortgage
00:10:06.760
payments and how to feed their three kids. That is what it means to be debanked. Debanking has been
00:10:12.560
one of the Trudeau government's weapon of choice. No, I think that's good.
00:10:14.620
She goes on for about six minutes there. But that is Rupa's testimony before the Select Subcommittee
00:10:24.900
on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, telling our American friends, what can happen to
00:10:30.560
you when your federal government weaponizes itself in a partisan manner against its own citizens? And
00:10:37.980
that's what we've lived through at least the last three and a half years. But I would suggest
00:10:43.340
far sooner, if you were a Christian, when Justin Trudeau took power, he started weaponizing the
00:10:49.740
federal government almost immediately against Christian organizations who simply wanted to
00:10:55.720
qualify for a summer jobs grant for summer students to run things like soup kitchens and
00:11:02.740
summer camps for underprivileged children. Justin Trudeau made those church organizations
00:11:08.420
sign an attestation to the Liberal Party's values on transgenderism, reproductive rights,
00:11:16.720
which is just a euphemism for abortion. And many of them in good conscience could not sign it.
00:11:23.580
And so they lost funding for their programs for the underprivileged. And in the name of ensuring,
00:11:29.180
I guess, complete and total ideological homogeneity in this country, Justin Trudeau punished the most
00:11:35.300
vulnerable and underprivileged people in the country who would access these soup kitchens and
00:11:40.100
these summer camps, stripping these people of opportunities that they wouldn't normally have.
00:11:46.640
So this is, we're at the end stages of weaponization of the federal government against
00:11:53.640
Canadians and Americans are just sort of knocking on that door. And I hope, I hope,
00:11:59.180
they don't go down this path. Luckily, they have a First Amendment, which should go a little further
00:12:05.400
in protecting them than our Charter of Rights and Freedoms does here. In other news happening in the
00:12:12.220
United States, I started talking about this, but we had connection problems. Yesterday, a very bizarre
00:12:18.340
thing broadcast on Fox News. Bizarre because you don't often see like a debate between the left and the
00:12:24.960
right. Except during elections and those elections debates are just insufferable. You actually don't
00:12:33.220
learn all that much. You just learn it. Who's good at talking in front of a camera and sticking to their
00:12:38.400
talking points. You don't actually see like an actual good examination of what people think and
00:12:45.420
feel on an issue and where their ideology truly is. But we saw a little bit of that last night.
00:12:51.120
Like I said, it was broadcast on Fox News, and it was dubbed as the like blue state, red state debate.
00:12:57.480
And you had, I think, the most successful red state, Republican state governor in modern history,
00:13:04.560
Ron DeSantis, debating Gavin Newsom. The, I mean, depends on how you govern and who you're asking.
00:13:15.440
But I think he would be considered a successful Democrat governor if you asked a Democrat because
00:13:22.940
he's like a bit Trudeau-esque, really woke, really metrosexual, if people still use that word.
00:13:30.600
And so he's popular with Democrats, but he's absolutely destroying California with his woke policies.
00:13:41.220
You know, the drug and crime out of control there. Mass outflow of people to
00:13:48.940
red states like Florida and Texas from California. And
00:13:57.120
DeSantis points out exactly that in this little debate clip. James Woods had a great remark.
00:14:07.300
Thankfully, they don't impose laws in California because DeSantis would be serving time for murder
00:14:19.760
So I was talking to a fella who had made the move from California to Florida,
00:14:23.860
and he was telling me that Florida is much better governed, safer, better budget, lower taxes,
00:14:29.540
all this stuff. And he's really happy with the quality of life. And then he paused and he said,
00:14:33.320
oh, by the way, I'm Gavin Newsom's father-in-law. So we do count Gavin's in-laws as some of the people
00:14:40.400
that have fled California and come to the state of Florida. So I was talking.
00:14:46.940
That's pretty good. That's pretty good when you can quote your political enemies in-laws as victims
00:14:54.200
of your political enemies' policies. Anyways, it's just very interesting. I think that both of them
00:15:05.680
are vying for the nomination for the respective parties. I don't think either one of them is going
00:15:12.380
to be the president. I think there are roles in a Trump administration. I think just based on the
00:15:17.040
polling, I'm not saying who I think should win, but just based on the polling, I think there's
00:15:20.620
a very serious role for DeSantis in a Trump administration, attorney general, perhaps.
00:15:29.240
But yeah, I thought it was kind of an interesting thing to do in between election cycles to show us
00:15:36.080
the difference between a Democrat-run state and a GOP-run state. It was kind of fun. And DeSantis
00:15:45.940
did a great job. And I don't just say that because I like him. I like him, but it's pretty cheeky.
00:15:52.760
I think at one point he held up a map of like the places where you can find feces in California.
00:16:00.700
So anyways, no, it was good. Moving along, let's talk about things closer to home for me. Alberta
00:16:09.120
and Notley's NDP. So Rachel Notley, for those of you who don't know, she was our premier through
00:16:15.660
fluke and happenstance in a confluence of just a perfect storm of impossible, impossible
00:16:24.200
circumstances that brought her to power here in Alberta, a far left socialist radical in charge of
00:16:31.580
the most conservative place in this country. And thankfully she lost the last election, no matter
00:16:39.260
how much the mainstream media were cheering for her and making people believe that she actually had
00:16:45.100
a chance of winning. And the more we learn about the NDP post that election cycle, the more I'm just
00:16:57.240
grateful. And I didn't think I could be more grateful that they didn't win. For example, there's
00:17:02.040
this exclusive story. It was broken by us here at Rebel News through the great reporting of Alex
00:17:07.760
Dhaliwal, one of our reporters. The Notley NDP hid a staffer's prostitution scandal to better their
00:17:17.360
elections chances. I did a video on this. And Ben Aldrich, he's an NDP staffer. He, in 2018, in late
00:17:32.400
2018, I think it was December 2018, he was caught in a prostitution sting. And he appeared in court in
00:17:41.980
January of 2019. So just a few short months before the 2019 election, which saw Jason Kenney of the
00:17:50.220
United Conservative Party win in a landslide. But the NDP kept his arrest for prostitution quiet,
00:17:58.420
because they knew that it would hurt their election chances. And Ben Aldrich was in communications at the
00:18:06.040
time he was with the health minister, Sarah Hoffman, as the associate chief of staff. To her, he was put
00:18:16.820
on a leave of absence. After his arrest, he was allowed to resolve his exploitation of vulnerable and
00:18:26.040
possibly racialized women charge through alternative measures. So I don't know, I guess he got to pick up
00:18:33.240
garbage. For to make his charge go away. And then they brought him back into the fold. These avowed
00:18:44.940
feminists in the NDP, you know, they accuse their political enemies of being against women and not
00:18:55.120
caring about women's rights. But they protected a man in their midst who is taking advantage of a
00:19:03.740
vulnerable woman, exploiting her body. And so anyways, they put him on leave of absence, then they bring
00:19:13.660
him back in 2021. Not only do they bring him back, sounds like he got a promotion. So he was quoted
00:19:20.640
as an NDP caucus spokesperson in 2021. And then by 2022, he's the director of communications.
00:19:30.540
And they hid this scandal through two election cycles, but Rebel News received leaked documents,
00:19:39.040
court documents about his charge. Now, have you, oh, I should also point out that this guy is just so
00:19:46.980
perfectly woke. He's exactly as woke as you think he is. Aldrich on his social media.
00:19:56.800
Yeah, I mean, he's just a feminist through and through as these people tend to be, right? Justin
00:20:03.080
Trudeau, he's a feminist, but he's just groping all the female journalists left and right fall,
00:20:07.740
firing all the pesky women who try to put him in his place. Aldrich on his Twitter bio,
00:20:14.780
he offers his preferred pronouns. He, him, in case the beard and mustache weren't a dead giveaway.
00:20:21.600
He calls himself a parent of a child rather than the father of a son or daughter, right? Like he has to
00:20:29.100
make sure that there's no gender whatsoever. And he calls himself a spouse rather than a husband.
00:20:39.880
And I just came to a startling realization here. I, I've been saying all along that he was exploiting
00:20:45.700
a vulnerable woman, but I'm making an assumption about his sexual predilections, aren't I?
00:20:51.840
I mean, he has gone out of his way to anti-gender all of his language. Um, maybe it was a vulnerable
00:21:02.340
dude. Not that it makes a difference, but like I'm making some sweeping assumptions here that I
00:21:09.020
possibly couldn't, you know, and Aldrich before he was, he tweeted about, I went back through his
00:21:15.020
social media accounts again, as I tend to do. And I saw that he was tweeting about, you know, the
00:21:20.780
United conservatives, not caring about racialized, uh, women. And I thought, who do you think works
00:21:29.080
in the prostitution trade? Racialized women. Um, I guess he cared about them just a little bit too
00:21:36.640
much, maybe. Anyway, but the reason I'm telling you about all of this is, uh, because you have
00:21:46.740
definitely not heard any of this in the mainstream media, right? If this were, uh, Danielle Smith,
00:21:55.760
uh, chief of staff or director of communications being caught up in a prostitution sting, could you
00:22:04.160
imagine, could you imagine the amount of resignations, heads rolling questions at press
00:22:12.660
conferences? It doesn't matter what the announcement of the press conference would be. You would be
00:22:19.280
completely consumed by this sex scandal. And yet here we are only independent media talking about this,
00:22:26.760
which is an argument for independent media, because it's very clear that the, uh, I was going to say
00:22:33.140
the opposition media, but maybe that's actually, actually accurate. The mainstream media is never,
00:22:40.280
ever going to talk about this. They've completely ignored it. They haven't even asked a single
00:22:45.440
question to Rachel Notley about this. I guess, as long as they remain inept, I will have job security
00:22:54.520
forever. You know, the mainstream media sure want people like me to go away, but I will never go away
00:22:59.480
as long as long as they refuse to do their jobs. Um, speaking of, uh, refusing to do their jobs,
00:23:08.580
um, again, mainstream media completely abdicating responsibility on another story that Rebel News
00:23:15.120
picked up. And again, this is for me, and I don't mean to be talking so much about my own work,
00:23:19.620
but, uh, this is kind of a fun story to do, as you can tell from the thumbnail there.
00:23:23.840
Rachel Notley, she spread so much disinformation. I am polite when I call it disinformation. It was
00:23:31.740
just shameless lies about the Curl spill that the chief scientist of the province had to step in
00:23:37.800
and issue a statement. So for those of you who don't know, um, you can watch my video on the Rebel
00:23:44.860
News YouTube. Curl is an imperial oil site near Fort McMurray, Alberta, and they very recently had a spill.
00:23:53.160
of, I'm going to be honest here, muddy water. Um, so the, it's 670 liters of treated water that
00:24:05.640
escaped a settling pond into the Muskeg River. They reported, this is the Athabasca Chippewan First
00:24:13.420
Nation, who also monitors the site on their own, reported 140 milligrams of suspended solids, um,
00:24:22.340
in the water. Suspended solids sounds scary, but it just means dirt in the water. And because we have
00:24:31.420
legal limits for these sorts of things on suspended solids, um, it was reported. Um, so anyways,
00:24:40.220
Rachel Notley takes to social media and the legislature and starts talking about how this is
00:24:48.360
a toxic spill from a tailings pond saying that all now it's not muddy water caused by runoff
00:24:57.200
and rain and snow and must literal musk egg, um, that it is arsenic mercury contaminating the
00:25:06.360
groundwater. And if you've said that it is not those things, she wants an apology. She wanted an apology
00:25:12.660
from the environment minister, Rebecca Schultz. She wanted an apology, I think from Brian Jean,
00:25:18.940
who is the UCP MLA for the region who said, ah, it's mud, like it's mud, chill out. It's mud. Um,
00:25:26.400
and, um, and, uh, the NDP, uh, Rachel Notley, but also, uh, another MLA, uh, I can't remember her name.
00:25:37.420
It doesn't, doesn't matter. But anyways, um, they prattled on about how the First Nation was being
00:25:44.720
poisoned by arsenic and that the Alberta Energy Regulator didn't care and Imperial Oil didn't care
00:25:51.520
and the Alberta government didn't care. And this was systemic racism because all the First Nations
00:25:56.240
people were going to be poisoned in perpetuity, uh, thanks to mercury, arsenic, all kinds of
00:26:02.320
carcinogens poisoning the groundwater. It got so out of control that I think it was, what is today?
00:26:09.200
Friday? I think it was Wednesday, Tuesday. The, no, Wednesday. Uh, the chief scientist of the province
00:26:17.080
had to come out and say, uh, can we just, uh, calm down and quit lying everybody? He stated that,
00:26:26.700
uh, and the chief scientist of the province is Jonathan Thompson. He stated that, um, if there
00:26:34.060
were any, uh, reports of hydrocarbons and toluene in subsamples, it was false positives due to lab error
00:26:42.720
that this water in this region is some of the most intensively tested in the entire region,
00:26:49.900
that the 140 milligrams of suspended solids were dirt and nothing else. Um, and that this was not
00:26:59.780
tailings pond runoff and there is no arsenic. In fact, he noted that all the drinking water in the
00:27:08.120
region is some of the cleanest in the province. And, uh, he said there have been no exceedances
00:27:15.820
in arsenic measured in the drinking water whatsoever. And that not only do they monitor
00:27:23.320
the drinking water, but ambient surface water around the region. Like Rachel Notley just lied and lied and
00:27:31.900
lied to the point where the non-partisan chief scientist had to say, stop it. And not only that,
00:27:39.560
he pointed out that the water quality tests for the regional municipality of Wood Buffalo, which is,
00:27:47.100
would have been the affected region if a region were affected and it wasn't, uh, they're all posted
00:27:52.740
online. So at any step of the way, while anybody was, you know, for some reason, believing Rachel
00:28:03.360
Notley, they could have just went to the regional municipality of Wood Buffalo website, check the
00:28:07.940
water quality tests, which are posted publicly and said, actually, I think, I think they're, everything's
00:28:13.580
fine, but no, Rachel Notley, um, she was lying just to scare people. And, uh, she continues to do that.
00:28:20.280
She did during COVID she's doing right now, um, to the old people as the province of Alberta is
00:28:25.620
considering, uh, withdrawing ourselves from the Canada pension plan. She's whipping up audiences of
00:28:31.980
old people, uh, to be scared about their futures. Um, so anyways, we dodged a real bullet here in
00:28:39.500
Alberta and I hope we continue to, uh, we should hit an ad break so that we can go back into the next
00:28:50.280
Shippahoe folks, David Menzies here with a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm inviting you to set
00:28:56.620
sail on the high seas with the boldest, most unapologetic crew around the Rebel News team.
00:29:04.280
Picture this, you, me, Ezra, Sheila, Alexa, and the fearless leader of the Freedom Trucker convoy
00:29:11.380
herself, Tamara Leach, cruising the Caribbean from March 23rd to 30th, 2024. Imagine the sun,
00:29:19.440
the sea, and a boatload of free speech enthusiasts just like yourself. We've already got dozens of

00:29:41.500
folks. Oh no, we're talking about a full-blown escape from the dreary wintertime coupled with the
00:29:48.780
chance to dive into some real talk, no-holds-barred conversations, fiery debates, and a chance to
00:29:56.240
rub shoulders with fellow Rebels. We'll be living it up on Holland America's MS New Amsterdam. Trust me,
00:30:04.160
it is a top-notch ship, and it's not just about enjoying the luxury, the amenities, the excursions.
00:30:11.140
Every evening, we're throwing exclusive cocktail receptions, dinners with our Rebel News team,
00:30:17.680
and panels that'll really get those brain gears grinding. And here's the kicker. Tamara Leach will
00:30:24.300
be dishing out a live music performance on board the ship. This is a truly exclusive,
00:30:32.280
one-of-a-kind experience. Space is very limited for this epic journey, so don't delay. Secure your spot

00:31:28.120
Tamara Leach, and fellow Rebel enthusiasts. Again, go to rebelnewscruise.com and reserve
00:31:36.360
your spot. I can't wait to see everyone on board. You know, I wonder just how much of David Menzies
00:31:44.240
we're going to see, because I've seen a lot of him lately, especially him in that leotard when he
00:31:51.640
checked himself into the Toronto Cat Show to prove a point about trans-speciesism. But I think it's going
00:31:57.560
to be fun, and boy, I don't know if you caught it, and you can still take a look at the replay on the
00:32:03.560
Rebel News YouTube channel, Tamara Leach. She put on one heck of a performance at the Freedom Train.
00:32:11.780
Just incredible. She's just so multi-talented. I mean, she strikes fear in the hearts of the stupidest
00:32:19.720
people in the country, and she can perform, just sing her heart out, and inspire a peaceful resistance
00:32:27.940
movement. There's nothing that little lady can't do. Let's get into, speaking of resistance movements,
00:32:35.060
apparently there are only some kind that are acceptable in this country, and others, I mean,
00:32:41.540
they can just get away with whatever they want. So the convoy, peaceful movement against COVID
00:32:48.940
restrictions, did their best not to inconvenience the people of Ottawa, who make me think that they
00:32:58.400
are just a bunch of boring bureaucrats. They're horn honking, sent them into a tizzy. But these
00:33:07.440
anti-Israel protesters over the last couple of days have been blocking rail lines, first in Saskatchewan,
00:33:17.160
and then second in Montreal. And I'm reliably informed by politicians that blocking critical
00:33:29.000
infrastructure can get you sent to jail for a very long time. Now, Tamara Leach never blocked any
00:33:34.840
critical infrastructure, but she spent 50 days in jail for non-violent mischief charges.
00:33:44.560
What's going to happen to these people? Probably nothing, because their politics are right.
00:33:51.440
So we've got this video from Alexa Lavoie. She was on the scene in Montreal this morning.
00:33:57.960
She was attempting to report on the anti-Israel protesters, blocking the rail lines in Montreal.
00:34:08.760
But the police were blocking her from reporting. Let's show that.
00:34:14.280
So, they have the right to block the train, but I don't have the right to go film them.
00:34:19.960
Madame, I'm just going to ask you to stay on the train, do you know what I want to say?
00:34:22.740
No, but you see that there is still an inconsistency from the police.
00:34:28.240
So, the police is actually blocking us to go and film them.
00:34:38.500
They are currently lots of anti-Israel supporters that are blocking the CN train trail,
00:34:51.080
I don't know. I don't know if you remember, but they did the same on the 29th of November in Saskatchewan.
00:35:02.200
And now they are doing it in Montreal, in Verdun.
00:35:21.080
Since the police are not allowing no person to get close.
00:35:27.800
And what we saw so far is like the police is not really intervening.
00:35:32.920
And we know that the Emergencies Act was deployed during the Freedom Convoy for less than that.
00:35:40.280
Since the beginning of this conflict, a lot of critical infrastructure were disrupted.
00:35:46.200
So, now I cannot see them. They are a little bit too far.
00:36:11.000
So, the police did more to clear the journalists away than they did to clear away the anti-Semitic
00:36:33.800
protesters who are blocking critical infrastructure and actually hurting the Canadian economy.
00:36:41.000
You know, have they considered the Emergencies Act for these Hitler youth that are plaguing the
00:36:49.160
streets of Canada right now, chanting genocidal things, blocking critical infrastructure?
00:36:54.520
Have we ever considered where their funding is coming from?
00:36:57.160
Have we considered that maybe they are being funded by the world's largest state sponsor of terror,
00:37:06.280
If you were a farmer and you gave 20 bucks to the Freedom Convoy, you very well may have had your
00:37:13.960
financing through Farm Credit Canada denied. We know they did that.
00:37:19.880
But you can block a CN rail line in one of Canada's largest cities and the police will do their best to
00:37:29.320
keep the journalists away from you, keep the journalists away from you and not clear the tracks.
00:37:39.880
Okay. We have another video from Alexa. Sounds like they were making arrests at some point.
00:37:48.760
What do you want to bet these guys don't spend 50 days in jail?
00:37:51.480
I bet they were caught and released as quickly as the cuffs came on. Let's show that.
00:38:22.040
I've got a DVD of McCook Kid, but I've got a DVD of Kosi, living that while I was clearly
00:38:29.640
It's a big Francisco and I've tried it out on the ground.
00:39:01.640
I'm joking. I'm not a fan of police brutality. But again, if those were Freedom Convoy protesters singing the national anthem, they would have been clubbed like baby seals. But these people, they blocked the rail lines. They're chanting for genocide. And they're getting cuffed up against the wall. And like I said, I bet you they'll be out by this afternoon, such as the state of the Canadian legal system.
00:39:27.340
So let's bump ahead. Speaking of and who's funding anti-Semites, as it turns out, the Canadian government did. And now they want their money back after news broke of it. So this from the National Post.
00:39:42.200
Ottawa is taking legal action to recoup anti-racism funds from Laith Maroof. Laith Maroof was a senior consultant with an organization funded by Canadian Heritage.
00:40:01.820
And he was post he they say he was accused of but he was definitely posting anti-Semitic material online. He was with the Community Media Advocacy Center and it granted the Canadian Heritage granted the group more than $122,000 for projects to help combat racism.
00:40:23.820
However, the phone call was coming from racism. However, the phone call was coming from inside the house. Now Maroof was making anti-Semitic statements, racist statements online. And now they're, I guess, suing him for the money back.
00:40:40.940
So I wonder what he did with that money. He said things like the Jews are white supremacists. And what a joke. One post read, and again, I'm reading verbatim what Laith Maroof, the anti-racism expert funded by Canadian Heritage to the tune of $122,000 said about Jews.
00:41:09.700
And it read, and it read, you know, all those loud mouth bags of human feces, aka the Jewish white supremacists, when we liberate Palestine, and they have to go back to where they came from, they will return to being low voiced bitches of their Christian secular white supremacist masters.
00:41:35.840
And this stuff was all posted publicly. It wasn't like he was saying this behind closed doors on his Twitter account.
00:41:42.740
But again, the federal government did more vetting of farmers who gave a Tim's card to Freedom Convoy truckers than they did to these people they were doling out Canadian tax dollars too.
00:41:54.480
So if Laith Maroof were a decent man, he would give the money back, but a decent man would not have said those things. So here we are. It's going to end up before the courts, and it's going to cost way more money than $122,000, I think, to recoup this stuff from Laith.
00:42:12.180
He should just give the money back. But again, if he were a decent human being, he wouldn't be working in anti-racism for the federal government, and be saying anti-Semitic things online.
00:42:24.140
Let's talk about this story from Westlock, Alberta. Now, for those of you who don't know where Westlock, Alberta is and what Westlock, Alberta is, Westlock, Alberta is a farming community just north of me.
00:42:42.100
It's about an hour away from the city. Fewer than 5,000 people live there. It is intensely rural, a proud farming community, so conservative, surrounded by Hutterite communities.
00:42:57.640
I think they had the world's largest harvest there at one point. Give you an idea about who and what we're dealing with, okay?
00:43:03.860
But let this be a lesson to conservatives that we must not only pay attention to municipal politics, vote in our municipal elections, but quite possibly run for municipal politics, because the left is taking over municipal politics, even in these ultra-conservative rural communities.
00:43:27.040
Last summer, in the summer of Pride, season of Pride, apropos of very nearly almost nothing, the highly progressive town council in this ultra-conservative community, I guess everybody was too busy farming to run for election there, but they decided we're going to let the local gay-straight alliance of the high school come along and paint a sidewalk rainbow.
00:43:57.040
And nobody wanted it, except the activists on council and the gay-straight alliance. And it caused a major uproar in town. Like, major. Locals got a petition going. They presented it to council and said, like, hey, we didn't want this. We never asked for any of this.
00:44:16.620
And it wasn't like they were against gays. Like, I don't think anybody's actually all that against gays. I think we just, everybody should just be left alone.
00:44:27.080
But they presented this petition to the council. Of course, they brought, by the way, I should say, there was outrage once people heard about the decision to paint the sidewalk rainbow, which is why the news left the city of Edmonton to go all the way to sleepy Westlock, because this became like ground zero for the culture war for like a week.
00:44:55.940
The NDP MLAs from Edmonton plotted Westlock on their GPS, changed out of their Birkenstocks in case there were gravel roads, and went all the way to Westlock to show support for the gay community population.
00:45:11.940
Population, I bet, 10, in Westlock. They even trucked in a liberal MP, Randy Blasino, from Edmonton, for some reason. I mean, again, their MP there is a conservative. It's not Randy Blasino.
00:45:30.400
I think it's, shoot. Anyway, it doesn't matter. But their conservative MP is conservative. Oh, it's Arnold Veerson, if I recall correctly. So super conservative. He's a social conservative, which is in line with the culture of the town.
00:45:49.940
And so this became like ground zero of the culture wars for a week. They got their way, they painted the sidewalk, but the people there were mad. And so they got a petition going, they presented their petition.
00:46:03.040
And instead of the council reacting to the petition, they're taking it, they're not going to react, they're actually going to do the right thing here, because the council seems to be out of line with the people.
00:46:19.480
They're letting it go to a plebiscite, which is a local vote. So they have time to campaign. And basically, what the people want the new law to say is, there will be no sidewalks painted anything other than white in Westlock.
00:46:41.280
And there will be no flying of flags that are not, you know, like the municipal flag, the provincial flag, the Canadian flag, nothing else. Keep your politics off the municipal infrastructure, basically, is what the new law would say.
00:46:56.220
And the municipality is putting it to the people to have their say is very clear that they weren't listening to the people the first time they were just doing whatever they wanted, because they felt like they could. And I'm happy.
00:47:12.840
I'm happy to see everybody involved in this bad decision end up with a bit of a reality check. Invaders from Edmonton came to cause a stir. But at the end of the day, the people will have their say. And I'm sure I'm sure that this new, this new law will will pass local plebiscite and I can be happier for it.
00:47:39.940
Yeah, keep your politics off the municipal infrastructure. I think that's that's a reasonable solution to all of this. Nobody gets anything.
00:47:46.940
You know, like no, no pro-life flags, no trans flags, just leave everything alone. Keep your politics off the publicly funded municipal infrastructure, and I'd be happy.
00:48:02.120
Which I have to key up out of the corner of my eye, I think. Let's go directly into this new farm law passing, and then we'll go into the commissioner's report.
00:48:16.820
So this is something that I've covered for quite some time, again, because I'm a farmer, but also I'm very interested in property rights and the lies of animal activists.
00:48:27.680
For me, look, I've sort of been anti-animal rights activist since, well, forever. And I believe it has to do with my religious worldview, but also that I don't equate animal lives to those of humans. Humans are here. Animals are down here.
00:48:48.220
I love my dog. I love my dog. I love my dog. I love my dog. I love my dog. I love my dog. I like my cat. But people are here. Animals are down here. And I'll eat them. And I'll also take care of them.
00:48:59.520
So I think it was 2018, animal rights activists invaded a hutterite farm in south of Calgary, anyway, a jumbo valley hutterite farm.
00:49:10.940
uh one of those animal rights activists was actually a videographer for global news
00:49:16.640
and this is a turkey farm and they were protesting the treatment of turkeys leading up to you know
00:49:27.200
slaughter processing for christmas and uh the thing about these turkey farms and so many farms
00:49:36.300
including hog farms is that they are biosecure facilities uh these animals are you know subject
00:49:43.420
to uh catching diseases that will wipe out the entire flock like hundreds thousands of animals
00:49:49.760
and you just have these turkey invaders just there um and so i had gone down to uh talk to these turkey
00:49:58.840
farmers about you know what it's like to have your home invaded and i should point out to you that
00:50:03.900
um hutterites are it's a collective farm multiple families live there um and so when you invade
00:50:12.420
their farm you're actually invading their home like their their kids are there ezra went to cover the
00:50:18.040
court appearances of these invaders he flew out in a snowstorm and then subsequent to that there's
00:50:24.880
um an animal rights activist who was run over by a truck after she ran out onto the road
00:50:31.700
to try to give water to pigs that were headed to slaughter and um you know the animal rights
00:50:37.720
activists were saying you know what she was murdered by a trucker who has to live the rest of
00:50:43.580
his life with having this fatality on his heart because she ran out into traffic to give pigs bound
00:50:50.840
for water or bound for slaughter water and you know it's this incessant problem with animal rights
00:50:58.700
activists invading our farms which are also our homes um and spreading lies about farmers and we
00:51:05.520
have the right to do our business unmolested by activists and we should be able to uh you know
00:51:12.760
not worry about animal rights activists um contaminating our herds with diseases which could
00:51:20.480
devastate us financially so this farmers rights bill passed in the house of commons guess who voted
00:51:27.000
against it uh the ndp and it threatens uh activists with 25 000 in individual fines if you trespass onto a farm
00:51:39.880
and a hundred thousand dollars for the organizations which may encourage it so this law will get them
00:51:48.980
coming and going and i couldn't be happier about it because it is not just about the rights of farmers
00:51:54.600
farmers to do our jobs and feed this country but uh this is a property rights issue our farms are also
00:52:03.100
our homes i'm a fifth generation farmer and uh my family has taken care of this land for
00:52:09.800
120 years this year in fact and uh i think we do a good job of it and we just want to provide affordable
00:52:18.600
nutritious food to not just our communities but the country and the rest of the world and these animal
00:52:23.860
rights activists look if they want to eat lettuce all day long great great it's not my problem leave
00:52:28.920
us alone um and they they don't have the right to do extra governmental inspections of our property
00:52:35.740
um imagine somebody just barging in to your home and and invading it well that's what farmers have to
00:52:43.600
live with um from these animal rights activists and i'm just so happy to see that the liberals actually
00:52:49.060
voted along with the conservatives on this issue and the andyp of course voted against it because
00:52:53.720
they say it violates the rights of protesters protest on the on the road outside my property
00:53:00.460
don't come on my property that's that's all we were asking for and we had to increase the fines
00:53:07.160
because they just won't listen um let's talk about another property rights issue while we're at it
00:53:15.000
as we get to the end of the show um ottawa uh continues their attack on our property rights
00:53:22.440
through their imposition of gun laws um ottawa wants to pass bill c21 in the coming weeks
00:53:31.560
firearms chargers so public safety minister dominic leblanc said gun manufacturers
00:53:38.180
should no longer be able to sell modifiable chargers that hold up to 30 bullets and he wants
00:53:43.780
to pass c21 in the coming weeks so c21 um basically ratifies the government's um
00:53:50.900
order in council which banned at the time it was 1500 models of popular shotguns and long guns
00:53:59.500
including a 410 bird gun as an assault rifle um they want to codify that into law and since then
00:54:08.060
it is ballooned to closer to 2000 um within that there's a buyback uh program
00:54:14.800
buyback as though the government ever owned these guns in the first place
00:54:19.500
um but here's the thing they're they're trying to make this stuff double illegal like you cannot
00:54:27.520
um you already can't have a magazine that holds that many bullets that's already illegal it's like
00:54:35.620
trying to make murder double illegal um but uh they're basically saying that people are in their
00:54:41.120
basements modifying this stuff if they are there's already a law that deals with that um you know like
00:54:50.860
he's just how dumb these people are um dominic leblanc who's probably never gone gone moose hunting in
00:54:59.300
his entire life says the bill aims more broadly to ban military type weapons that are not used for
00:55:03.940
hunting when we go moose hunting he says we are not going to war on moose said leblanc who clarified
00:55:11.180
he wants to pass bill c21 in the coming weeks we want to ensure that there is no escape allowing gun
00:55:16.720
owners and industry to do indirectly what they cannot do directly adding the federal government
00:55:21.560
would add resources to provincial and municipal police forces to carry out the law good luck to you
00:55:26.540
in alberta um in alberta our premier daniel smith has said that she will not be directing our
00:55:33.280
provincial uh rcmp who are on contract with the provincial government to allocate resources to
00:55:40.480
molesting uh law-abiding canadian gun owners uh i think our cops definitely have better things to do
00:55:47.940
than kicking in the doors of their friends and neighbors for the crime of lawfully acquiring
00:55:52.220
something that the government now says is illegal and despite all this constant gun legislation when
00:56:00.040
you know it the violent crime rate has gone up uh i think it's the highest it's been in years if not
00:56:06.300
decades and it has gone up four years in a row so since justin strudeau started bringing out his
00:56:13.060
increased gun control legislation guess what crime has gone up um so maybe we could do something
00:56:20.680
different instead of going after uh duck hunters and moose hunters um maybe just maybe we could focus
00:56:28.400
on gangs the border drug trafficking human trafficking uh but no no it's uh it's just joe in saskatchewan
00:56:40.380
who wants to put some holes in some geese he's the bad guy in this country according to dominic
00:56:45.100
leblanc uh all right quickly coming to the end of the show i think i've almost gotten to all the topics
00:56:52.720
but uh lastly the commissioner's report for the national citizens inquiry um was just published this
00:57:03.120
week it's available now uh for those of you who don't know although we did cover it quite intensely
00:57:08.080
here at rebel news the national citizens inquiry was a citizen-led inquisition into the government's
00:57:17.140
over response to covid19 and this was done because we we could not trust the government to examine their
00:57:27.960
own actions responsibly and then decide um what they should do differently we saw how justin strudeau
00:57:35.680
investigates himself he appoints a family friend david johnston to investigate and find that there
00:57:43.880
was actually no need for investigation so citizens took this upon themselves and um they heard from over
00:57:51.900
300 witnesses who told them what it was like during the covid19 crisis and i say crisis but i mean the
00:57:59.220
crisis of civil liberties and um some of these people were doctors some of these people were people who
00:58:05.360
were damaged by the vaccine they were forced to take um to inoculate themselves against unemployment
00:58:11.520
some of these people were business owners um some of these people were activists who were arrested
00:58:16.760
um and so that's out this week and um my friend tamara ugolini um she did an incredible report
00:58:28.500
examining it um you can download the report at the national citizens inquiry.ca and uh maybe let's
00:58:36.560
just take a quick uh little look at it if we could bring it up i know you had it on the screen there
00:58:44.000
you just look at the executive summary by the way do you think anybody in the federal government
00:58:49.400
is going to ever read this do you think for example here in Alberta you think Jason Kenney
00:58:53.960
is going to read this i don't think so um but uh let's just take a look at the perhaps the
00:59:01.180
executive summary thank you very much i'm just uh getting to it on my screen here yikes sorry guys
00:59:17.160
given the enormity of these mandates and the resultant consequences
00:59:23.680
these circumstances demanded a comprehensive transparent and objective national inquiry
00:59:29.340
into the appropriateness and efficacy of these interventions to determine what lessons can be
00:59:33.460
learned for the future no canadian government has shown an appetite for fulsome review of the
00:59:38.420
measures it implemented it also questioned whether municipal federal and provincial governments
00:59:42.740
would or could conduct a fair and unbiased review simply because of their own actions and responses
00:59:47.860
to covet 19 which should be under investigation um what's important here is that um
00:59:57.460
that there's an official accounting of what happened to this country i don't think any politicians are
01:00:04.960
going to read this and adopt it except perhaps Alberta and Saskatchewan who have shown
01:00:12.580
and perhaps New Brunswick although i'm not sure they were pretty hard on covid just ask pastor
01:00:17.080
phil hutchins but i think that most politicians are not going to read this and i think they just want
01:00:27.140
this all to be put behind us but i think that it is important that there is an official record
01:00:34.120
of what happened to canadians that these witnesses were heard and that future generations can look back on
01:00:39.920
this um until such time as justin trudeau scrubs the internet forever um uh this will exist as
01:00:50.400
a historical encyclopedia of all the terrible dark things the government did to us in the name of
01:00:59.360
public health and um i i hope that website nationalcitizensinquiry.ca lives forever because some of
01:01:06.940
those testimonies were just absolutely heart-wrenching um and i hope i hope one day some of
01:01:13.400
the politicians involved bring themselves to listen to the damage that they did and uh do some soul
01:01:22.180
searching but uh you know if you're the kind of person who would do these things to people i can't
01:01:26.960
imagine that you'd do that uh i think we have one one chat okay great one chat we made it through the
01:01:34.780
first hour of this by the way so thank you so much we had some technical difficulties at the beginning
01:01:39.260
and i have to retrain my language to say that this is uh not fried or not a weekly show but or rather
01:01:45.620
not a daily show but a weekly show see i'm still struggling anyways got one from memory hole because
01:01:51.400
it's five bucks and says menzies in the cat leotard is burned into my retinas please sweet death take me
01:01:57.500
now and do you know what i spared you guys from having to see that for i don't know three four
01:02:04.460
years every i don't know i would say quarterly david menzies would say to me sheila is it time
01:02:10.220
and i would say no it is not time it may never be time i hope it is never time for the world to see
01:02:17.320
you in a cat leotard scratching your butt against a pillar in a parking garage with that horrifyingly
01:02:24.700
cut out cat mask did he put his glasses on the cat mask i never noticed that before
01:02:29.880
um i kept telling him it's not now david not now hopefully not ever i honestly i wanted to save him
01:02:36.840
from himself i mean how do you come back from this uh but it's david menzies and we love him for this
01:02:42.100
kind of stuff and he really did prove a point and we reached such a place of absurdity in society
01:02:50.600
that it was time to publish it and uh we did and it will live in infamy forever as one of david
01:03:00.900
menzies greatest most ridiculous capers the man truly suffers for his craft doesn't he and it's why
01:03:07.820
we appreciate him so much i think he's it's why he's a fan favorite well everybody that's the show
01:03:14.240
for today uh thanks so much for tuning in thanks to everybody behind the scenes who makes the show
01:03:24.260
okay great i guess i have to come up with a new sign-off tagline for now i'm going to stick with uh
01:03:34.540
my own actually i'm going to tell you don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to
01:03:39.360
think it looks like some of the opposition parties don't want to do a coalition looks like they want
01:03:45.420
to sort of deny the results of the election how's that going we are now in the process of talking
01:03:52.000
about this issue in parliament the conservative liberal party the farmer party and the new party
01:03:58.600
of peter umzicht the four of us would have a big majority in parliament 90 of the voters of all those
01:04:05.400
four parties want us to work together still it's not automatically in a normal situation or country
01:04:11.980
we would have almost formed the government already but some of those parties are hesitant
01:04:17.040
some because they have lost the elections and believe that it's not their place now others because
01:04:21.280
they believe that some points out of our party program against islamization are against our
01:04:28.480
constitution and they don't want to work with a party who works against the constitution
01:04:32.220
it's not that far yet it's a possibility but i'm still um hopeful that um we have a chance to uh to
