Justin Trudeau goes to Calgary and meets 2,000 angry protesters. I ve never seen so many angry people in a city like that before. Why is this happening? Is it because Trudeau is a climate criminal? Or is it because he hates Alberta oil?
00:00:50.500It's too busy working to come and chant, hey, hey, ho, ho, so-and-so has got to go.
00:00:55.900But, of course, these days it's not that busy working because Justin Trudeau and Rachel Notley have been waging a three-year war against the city's chief industry.
00:01:07.780If by winning, of course, you mean keeping unemployment high and driving out investment.
00:01:11.240But these pictures show what it's like now, 2,000 protesters in Calgary.
00:01:20.700I've never seen that in Calgary before.
00:01:23.560The last time I've heard of so much anger in the city was actually when I was just a boy in the early 1980s when Doug Christie's Western Canada concept separatist party filled the big Jubilee auditorium in town.
00:01:35.940That was also in reaction to a Trudeau, Pierre Trudeau, from whom Justin Trudeau learned his hatred for Alberta and for the oil patch.
00:01:43.740Back then it was the NEP, the National Energy Program, as it was called.
00:01:48.800Today, NEP could well stand for the National Environmental Program, using the environment as an excuse, a carbon tax, and more to the point, outright banning pipelines that are needed to export the oil sands,
00:02:00.920which is now selling for less than $20 a barrel because of the pipeline shortage forcing a discount on what Albertans can earn.
00:02:08.080At least Pierre Trudeau's NEP allowed oil and gas production.
00:03:09.320And let me show you, this is the port of Kitimat, from which the Northern Gateway Pipeline would have put oil on tankers to sell to the world.
00:03:19.620The thing about Kitimat, as you can see, is oil and gas are indeed shipped in and out already.
00:03:24.920But C-48 is specifically worded to ban Alberta oil exports.
00:04:10.020Or it takes C-69. That's Catherine McKenna's insane, kooky, crazy new bill that would add another layer of regulatory burden to any proposed project like an oil pipeline.
00:04:20.980Project's decisions will be based on science, evidence, and indigenous traditional knowledge.
00:04:27.700We're also taking a bigger picture look at the potential impacts of a proposed project.
00:04:32.280Instead of just looking at the environmental impacts, we'll look at how a project could affect our communities and health, jobs and the economy over the long term, and we'll also do a gender-based analysis.
00:06:18.140That was the disgraced former Cabinet Minister, Kent Hare.
00:06:21.060He was fired from Trudeau's Cabinet for sexual misconduct.
00:06:24.340But I guess that's still okay, because, I mean, Trudeau himself forgave himself for sexually groping Rose Knight, a reporter in Creston, B.C.
00:06:34.640And so he has forgiven Kent Hare, too.
00:07:33.500Previous governments talk about the importance of getting resources to market.
00:07:38.240But we're the government that said, we're actually going to buy the pipeline to make sure that we overcome the political obstacles.
00:07:44.440I don't know how we can better demonstrate support than a check for $4.5 billion.
00:07:49.900Yeah, well, that was just buying an existing pipeline that's been in the ground for more than a half a century.
00:07:58.220Buying it at an inflated price off the hands of its U.S. owners who were delighted to sell it to such a fool.
00:08:05.460They were about to quit their expansion plans for the Trans Mountain expansion because of Trudeau.
00:08:13.540It was basically a $4.5 billion payment to take the existing pipeline to shut them up about not being able to build the $7 billion expansion.
00:08:22.840It's the existing pipeline that Moreno bought, not the expansion.
00:10:06.800It's a political problem, and the problem is Trudeau and Rachel Notley.
00:10:10.960What a joke that she's hiring her old socialist friend from Toronto, a union organizer named Brian Topp, to launch a fact-finding mission like Inspector Clouseau.
00:10:21.960Like O.J. looking for the real killers.
00:10:24.480Hey, Brian Topp, why don't you go and see if you can find the problem out there?
00:10:27.920What's the problem with all the other?
00:10:32.260Yeah, the problem is you, Rachel Notley, your taxes and regulations, but also your failure to push the pipelines or defend them against Trudeau or your fellow NDP premier in B.C.
00:10:44.340The laugh that a Toronto union organizer at a thousand bucks a day or whatever he's being paid will get to the bottom of this.
00:10:50.740You know, that might convince the left-wing media that Trudeau just bought off, but everyone real knows that Notley and Trudeau themselves are the problem.
00:11:00.180And the courts and the political embargo placed on Alberta by the NDP out of B.C.
00:15:34.760It might not be in good taste, but it is a joke because he actually does not want to hang Trudeau.
00:15:42.680It's a joke because not everyone who is unemployed can go to work for Rachel Notley's Union Front Group to make six figures.
00:15:49.400Not everyone who's unemployed can go to the CBC to make six figures disparaging the West.
00:15:53.560Some people need a real job, but that jokey t-shirt is all the media party needed to discredit 2,000 unemployed men and women at a legitimate grievance.
00:16:04.980Look at the trail of replies to that Miriam Ibrahim.
00:17:14.120So the real news is that 2,000 Calgarians had a peaceful but noisy and sometimes boisterous and sometimes funny protest against unemployment being foisted on them.
00:17:23.720And the media reports, the fake news media reports, were that Nancy and Trudeau hugged it out, guys.
00:18:48.620Well, the other day when we had our TheRebellive.com event in Calgary, 600 of our friends from Calgary and region coming together to spend a day.
00:18:59.040It was a great day, and I met one of our supporters there who was a delegate at The Rebel Live, and we started talking about residential schools.
00:19:11.260And he told me that he has a family experience with them, and he told me at great length.
00:19:16.920And I said, Gabe, you've got to come on the show and tell all our viewers.
00:19:44.200I have another friend who personally went to an Aboriginal residential school, and he told me that it really put him on the path in life to become a success.
00:19:55.940He's a prominent lawyer, a successful man by every mark.
00:20:10.840Can you introduce yourself a little bit to our viewers and tell us what you mean?
00:20:13.940I mean, you told me, for example, you're a status Indian, which is a legal status, and that your family has a lot of experience with residential schools.
00:20:22.700Why don't you just take it away and tell me what you told me at the Rebel Live?
00:20:28.020My mother and 12 of her siblings attended residential school, plus countless cousins that we lived close by.
00:20:38.860I know them personally, and they've told me many stories.
00:20:43.940My mother had, when she used to chide us, I mean, my mother would say, you don't know how easy you have it.
00:20:51.700And she started working in a kitchen half a day at six years old.
00:20:56.440But this wasn't something she said for pity.
00:21:00.760You know, to give you a further background, my mother was widowed with 13 children.
00:21:14.340And she credits the talents that she picked up and the skills she learned in residential school helped her keep our family together, which was a miracle.
00:21:38.760I was in a very small community in north-central Saskatchewan, Marsland, Saskatchewan.
00:21:45.800And my mother was born on the Muskeg Lake Reserve, and she was a member there.
00:21:52.020And, in fact, a lot of my brothers and sisters are members now of the Muskeg Lake Reserve.
00:21:56.380Though I'm a status Indian, I have never applied for membership to any band, because I'm of the opinion you can only slice the pie so many times.
00:22:08.300And I really don't want any help from the government.
00:22:33.300Well, can you tell me, I take it your mother has passed on, can you tell me some of the things she told you about her experience in residential school?
00:22:49.440And, importantly, did she condemn it or criticize it as well?
00:22:54.100I'm just curious for the whole picture of what your mom said happened to her at residential school.
00:22:58.480She never claimed it was the easiest life.
00:23:05.980Like I said, it taught her the skills, and she admitted it many times, and that after she was widowed, her sewing skills especially helped her raise the family as a seamstress.
00:23:20.100And also, like, you know, the basic running a household chores.
00:23:24.820And she was a very, very, I guess, pious woman.
00:23:32.980In fact, in our house, she had a picture of the principal priest who ran the school hanging on our wall.
00:23:41.180So there was never any hard feelings, but she never tried to tell us it was easy.
00:23:46.740Yes, there was punishments, there were rules to follow, but it didn't bother her.
00:23:54.380In fact, one time she told me that when the boys, she always said boys, when the boys ran away, after the third time they had their head shaved, but they deserved it, she said.
00:24:05.860You know, but she had, you know, very fond memories, and in fact, throughout the years, not only my mother, my aunts and my uncles, and especially some of my cousins, who after the school closed, had no place to go.
00:24:23.120And over the years, we had three or four of my cousins living with us.
00:24:29.340And there was never any hint of abuse.
00:24:34.220Yes, there were rules to follow and their consequences, but the whole idea of these schools set up to abuse the children is ludicrous.
00:24:42.460And one of the complaints that critics of these residential schools make is that children were removed from their mom and dad, and that this was done forcibly, and that this destroyed the bonds between parents and kids.
00:25:15.040No, I'm quite sure my grandparents wanted it.
00:25:21.200In fact, one of my older sisters tells me about the scene when the wagons, actually horse and wagons, would come and pick up these kids, and the younger ones that couldn't go would cry because they wanted to go.
00:25:33.100So obviously, when they spent the summer with their siblings, there was no tales of terror and abuse and malnutrition.
