00:00:00.440 Tonight, the CBC investigates parents worried about their kids being taught transgenderism
00:00:07.000 in school.
00:00:08.000 It's October 21st and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:11.000 You're fighting for freedom!
00:00:14.000 Shame on you, you censorious bug!
00:00:26.000 Well, hello again.
00:00:27.000 I'm in frosty Edmonton.
00:00:29.000 You can feel the winters around the corner.
00:00:31.000 As I told you yesterday, I'm here for the United Conservative Party's annual general meeting
00:00:36.000 that starts tonight.
00:00:37.000 Very interesting times.
00:00:38.000 A new premier, Danielle Smith.
00:00:40.000 And can she hold on to her party and can she resist the attacks on her from the usual suspects?
00:00:46.000 And by that I mean the media party.
00:00:48.000 But I saw something, speaking of the media party, in the CBC that caught my eye.
00:00:52.000 I mean, let me just stop and ask you, if you had nearly 10,000 staff working at your news agency
00:00:59.000 and a budget of over a billion and a half dollars, what would you shine a light of scrutiny on?
00:01:03.000 I mean, that's really the job of the media is to shine the light into dark places and see what's going on.
00:01:08.000 Well, look at this headline I saw on the CBC.
00:01:12.000 CBC Investigates.
00:01:13.000 It's even above the headline.
00:01:15.000 So this is their crack investigative squad.
00:01:18.000 Now, they're not speaking truth to power.
00:01:20.000 They're not investigating Justin Trudeau or, for example, who got all that Arrive Can app money.
00:01:27.000 They're not doing that.
00:01:28.000 They're not speaking truth to power.
00:01:29.000 They're speaking power to truth.
00:01:31.000 Look at that headline.
00:01:32.000 Scores of anti-trans candidates running in Ontario school board elections.
00:01:39.000 And then under that they say, with support from several conservative groups.
00:01:43.000 Oh, they're the worst.
00:01:44.000 Some candidates are vowing to end inclusive sex education.
00:01:50.000 Now, we're not even into this story yet.
00:01:52.000 And do you see the spin and even the lies?
00:01:55.000 Are they really anti-trans candidates?
00:01:58.000 Are they really?
00:01:59.000 Are these people who say, I hate trans people.
00:02:01.000 I don't like.
00:02:02.000 Or are they people who say, you know what?
00:02:03.000 My child is in grade one.
00:02:05.000 My child is six.
00:02:06.000 We don't need to teach my child the six genders.
00:02:10.000 Which, by the way, is the law right now in Ontario.
00:02:13.000 Are you anti-trans if you say, hey, how about lay off the kids?
00:02:17.000 How about don't talk about sexuality, heterosexuality or homosexuality or any kind of sexuality?
00:02:22.000 They are children.
00:02:23.000 Are you an anti-trans person?
00:02:26.000 And in that line, inclusive sex ed.
00:02:29.000 Why are you talking about those subjects to children of tender years?
00:02:34.000 Anyways, I just got to read for you one more.
00:02:37.000 We're not even in the story yet.
00:02:38.000 Look at the caption on that photo.
00:02:40.000 An investigation by CBC News found that at least 20 candidates for trustee positions in Ontario had either used discriminatory terms in interviews, align themselves with transphobic lobby groups, or use their social media accounts to amplify transphobic content.
00:03:00.000 What on earth does any of that even mean?
00:03:03.000 But I love that they call this an investigation.
00:03:05.000 Like they staked things out.
00:03:07.000 They had wiretaps or something.
00:03:09.000 They had hidden cameras.
00:03:10.000 No, they just Googled and went to Facebook pages and anything that they thought was mean.
00:03:15.000 They called it an investigation.
00:03:17.000 This is what your tax dollars are working on.
00:03:19.000 And by the way, this took more than one reporter to write.
00:03:21.000 It's quite something.
00:03:22.000 You know, we could use some investigation into sex ed in schools.
00:03:28.000 There really isn't any investigation done on that in Canada.
00:03:31.000 Until this shocking, and I don't even know if it's a joke, I don't think it's a joke, this case of a shop teacher in Ontario wearing enormous prosthetic breasts.
00:03:45.000 I think the CBC could do some investigation into who is this person?
00:03:49.000 How is this allowed?
00:03:51.000 Were complaints covered up?
00:03:52.000 I'm talking about the real scandal in Ontario schools.
00:03:56.000 This isn't even in sex ed.
00:03:57.000 This is in shop class.
00:03:58.000 Look at this.
00:03:59.000 David Menzies for Rebel News here in Oakville, Ontario.
00:04:03.000 And folks, I'm here at Oakville Trafalgar High School.
00:04:08.000 And you know, in most schools, when it's drag queen story time, that's typically a one-day event for a few hours.
00:04:17.000 But here at Oakville Trafalgar High School, drag queen story time is any time Mr. Lemieux, a.k.a. Miss Kayla Lemieux, is teaching shop class.
00:04:31.000 You see, Mr. Lemieux is allegedly transitioning into a female, but that's not really news these days.
00:04:40.000 What is news is the fact that his fake prosthetic breasts are so humongous, literally twice the size of a man's head and weighing about 35 pounds.
00:04:52.000 As well, his nipples are always protruding, and he wears see-through blouses.
00:05:00.000 So really, what is going on here?
00:05:03.000 Is this really someone who is transitioning into a female?
00:05:07.000 Or perhaps is Mr. Lemieux playing some kind of prank for whatever reason?
00:05:13.000 Is he maybe deliberately trying to get fired so he can file a wrongful dismissal claim?
00:05:19.000 Or dare I say it, is Mr. Lemieux suffering from mental illness?
00:05:25.000 And if he is, he should be treated immediately.
00:05:28.000 Yeah, we could use some actual investigations of what's going on in the schools, not parents who are concerned about them.
00:05:34.000 You know, in the United States, a lot of these transgender-oriented teachers go on TikTok or Twitter and brag about what they are doing in schools.
00:05:44.000 So here's my tip to the CBC. You don't need 10,000 staff and a billion and a half dollars.
00:05:49.000 You don't even need two staff, like we're working on this story.
00:05:52.000 You can just follow the Twitter account called Libs of TikTok.
00:05:55.000 And that's just one lady in New York City who searches what these teachers post themselves and puts them on TV and puts them on the Internet.
00:06:03.000 Here, take a look at some of these statements by teachers in the U.S.
00:06:07.000 Do you doubt for a second that the same thing is happening here in Canada?
00:06:11.000 I think the CBC should investigate.
00:06:13.000 Here, take a look at Libs of TikTok.
00:06:15.000 Last week, I brought Pride Flags to school to pass out to students.
00:06:19.000 And we've got the whole gang here.
00:06:24.000 And I know they're from Amazon, but we're balling on a budget.
00:06:27.000 And it's so funny the way students walk into the room because if they know me, they'll walk in and just be like, hey, miss, can I get a flag?
00:06:35.000 But then there's students who don't know me or are in a different school because there's two different schools in our building.
00:06:41.000 And we'll like walk in the classroom and be like, is this where I get the flags?
00:06:48.000 And it's so precious.
00:06:50.000 But now every day it looks like a Pride Frade in our hallways.
00:06:54.000 And it's just the best.
00:06:56.000 If you walk into the library and you see a display that's so beautiful and so enticing with books that you want to take home and read, we have them on display because we want you to borrow them.
00:07:16.000 This is not a museum, people.
00:07:18.000 Borrow a book.
00:07:20.000 A lot of the teachers and staff in my school district wear these badges so that students who are questioning whether or not they're accepted will know that they are.
00:07:31.000 The student from last year and I would coordinate our pronoun shirt.
00:07:37.000 Same student came up to me on Friday to say hi.
00:07:40.000 I noticed that one of my new students had a pronoun shirt too.
00:07:43.000 We decided to coordinate today.
00:07:45.000 A transgender student insisted that they send me an email to remind me to wear my pronoun shirt.
00:07:50.000 We're up to three.
00:07:51.000 That's the goal for by the end of the year.
00:07:53.000 All right.
00:07:54.000 Finally, I'll get into the story.
00:07:55.000 But I think you know where this is going.
00:07:57.000 Let me read.
00:07:58.000 In school board elections across Ontario this Monday, dozens of candidates are running on promises to roll back protections for transgender students.
00:08:07.000 Part of a concerted effort by conservative lobby groups to undo policies aimed at addressing systemic discrimination.
00:08:14.000 Is that really what they're saying?
00:08:16.000 Do they want to undo protections for anybody?
00:08:19.000 You know, I actually read this entire enormous article.
00:08:22.000 It felt like it never ended.
00:08:24.000 And never once did they actually show transphobic, anti-trans activism.
00:08:30.000 There was never any hate.
00:08:32.000 There was never any attacks.
00:08:33.000 There was never anyone saying we're going to end protections for people.
00:08:37.000 That is all the projection of the fevered mind of the CBC.
00:08:42.000 This is called CBC Investigates.
00:08:44.000 It's more like CBC emotes.
00:08:46.000 These are their own emotions.
00:08:49.000 Do you actually think in this story you will find a single candidate who is quoted, who the CBC investigated and found that they want to end protections for anyone?
00:09:00.000 I'll save you the time until the answer is no.
00:09:03.000 Let me read some more.
00:09:05.000 The normally sleepy contest for trustee positions have been highly charged this year with faith-based groups, political parties, and self-styled anti-woke organizations involved to an unprecedented degree, including providing endorsements.
00:09:19.000 Oh, those are the worst.
00:09:21.000 Mobilizing volunteers.
00:09:22.000 Oh, they're the worst.
00:09:24.000 And providing candidates training from U.S. political operatives.
00:09:27.000 Hey, have you ever seen the CBC investigate U.S. or foreign political operatives when they're assisting Justin Trudeau, when they're organizing and funding anti-pipeline or anti-oil movements?
00:09:39.000 I have not seen that.
00:09:40.000 The CBC is suddenly interested in it.
00:09:42.000 I should tell you the CBC demonizes Christian groups, and indeed there are some Christian candidates.
00:09:47.000 But I should tell you that Christian candidates may be easy pickings for the CBC, but a lot of the opponents of extreme transgenderism sex ed in schools, they're not Christian.
00:09:57.000 They're not white.
00:09:58.000 They're newcomers to Canada.
00:09:59.000 Many of them are Muslim, in fact.
00:10:01.000 Let me show you a recent meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, which is a very Muslim community.
00:10:06.000 They are appalled by the extreme sex ed there.
00:10:09.000 It's a little bit tough to call a room full of Muslim parents Christian bigot right-wing white people.
00:10:16.000 Here, just take a look at this from Dearborn just the other day.
00:10:18.000 I just want to thank everybody for coming out.
00:10:21.000 My name is Hassan Shami.
00:10:23.000 I'm nothing but a concerned parent in Dearborn, Michigan.
00:10:26.000 Guys, we want to make something clear, okay?
00:10:30.000 We want to leave the politics out of this.
00:10:33.000 If you're on Facebook, all you see is fear-mongering political rhetoric that this is book banning, censorship, homophobic.
00:10:42.000 All it is is protecting our children.
00:10:44.000 We, we as concerned parents, we as concerned parents in Dearborn are not tied to the left, to the right when it comes to this issue.
00:10:53.000 And we're not going to be used as pawns for any organization for their own agenda.
00:10:58.000 We're here to protect our children.
00:11:03.000 Do not fall for the political rhetoric on Facebook, on Instagram.
00:11:08.000 Do not fall for the trap because that's what they want.
00:11:10.000 They're trying to smear us.
00:11:11.000 They're trying to control the narrative.
00:11:13.000 They're trying to say this is homophobic.
00:11:15.000 Listen, there's a, there's a book.
00:11:17.000 There's a book that was banned.
00:11:18.000 And what's called this book is gay.
00:11:20.000 And I tell you, if the book was called this book is straight, we're still going to go after it.
00:11:24.000 Because it's teaching kids.
00:11:25.000 It's teaching kids how to go online and have sexual intercourse with others on the internet.
00:11:31.000 This is wrong.
00:11:32.000 You're not supposed to get this sexually explicit material.
00:11:36.000 There's a, there's a poster right here to my right.
00:11:41.000 There's a poster right here to my right that I had them cover up.
00:11:45.000 I, as an adult and 33 year old adult told them cover it up because I'm embarrassed to look at this.
00:11:50.000 You think I want a 13 year old to look at it?
00:11:52.000 This is ridiculous.
00:11:53.000 Any semi decent human being homosexual or heterosexual knows when they look in the mirror that kids should not be exposed to this.
00:12:02.000 Stop trying to control the rhetoric.
00:12:03.000 Stop trying to make it as you guys are the victims because this has nothing to do with it.
00:12:08.000 We as parents who are raising our children are responsible for our children.
00:12:12.000 Our schools will not indoctrinate our children.
00:12:15.000 The progressive dogma from the top down that has public schools in a total will not indoctrinate our children.
00:12:22.000 People tell me.
00:12:23.000 People tell me.
00:12:24.000 Don't go up and sneak.
00:12:25.000 They're going to ban your business.
00:12:26.000 They're going to protest your businesses.
00:12:27.000 You're going to get fired from your job.
00:12:28.000 I got three children.
00:12:29.000 My purpose in this world is to protect my kids and that's all I want to do.
00:12:33.000 Vote them out!
00:12:35.000 Vote them out!
00:12:36.000 Vote them out!
00:12:38.000 Vote them out!
00:12:40.000 VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! Yeah, the CBC never mentions Muslims here. They're not allowed to. So they pick on Christians. I should tell you that it's actually the Muslim parents who are the most attentive to their kids.
00:13:06.300 For weeks, some candidates in Ottawa, Waterloo, Hamilton, among other places in Ontario, have been using transphobic rhetoric in public, portraying gender-inclusive sex education as an attempt to indoctrinate their children.
00:13:20.420 Again, they don't quote any of these insults that allegedly happen, but they actually don't refute the claims by these parents, because the sex ed curriculum is extreme.
00:13:32.880 By the way, I mean, you and me are grown-ups, and we've been around a little bit.
00:13:37.840 Can you name the six genders that Ontario officially teaches?
00:13:42.620 By the way, gay is not a gender.
00:13:44.840 Can you name the six genders?
00:13:46.500 Well, if you can't, then you're not as smart as a grade six-year-old kid in Ontario who's taught it.
00:13:52.920 Let me quote a little bit from the story.
00:13:54.400 For example, Mark Paralovos, a trustee candidate in Guelph, Ontario, has repeatedly taken to social media to deny the existence of trans and non-binary genders.
00:14:05.280 There are men. There are women. That's it, he tweeted earlier this month.
00:14:09.000 Oh, my God. I am so glad the CBC put their crack investigative unit on this man.
00:14:15.080 We have found the trouble.
00:14:16.720 Someone who says there's men and women.
00:14:18.360 I think we should probably censor all books that say the opposite, and that would be starting with the Bible, I'm guessing.
00:14:24.840 The Koran would probably be next.
00:14:27.740 Another candidate, Shannon Boshi, said Ontario's sex ed curriculum was partly to blame for the rise in transgender and non-binary identifying students.
00:14:35.780 Well, that's obviously true.
00:14:37.460 And don't take it from me, a right-winger.
00:14:39.380 Here's Bill Maher, the essential American Hollywood liberal, pointing out the obvious.
00:14:44.740 Remember this?
00:14:45.340 And this is a phenomenon we need to take into account when we look at this issue.
00:14:50.400 Yes, part of the rise in LGBT numbers is from people feeling free enough to tell it to a pollster, and that's all to the good.
00:14:58.780 But some of it is, it's trendy.
00:15:02.520 Penis equals man?
00:15:04.040 Okay, boomer.
00:15:07.820 Remember, the prime directive of every teen is anything to shock and challenge the squares who brought you up.
00:15:14.260 It's why nobody gets a nose ring at 56.
00:15:24.540 And if you haven't noticed that with kids, doing something for the likes is more important than their own genitals, you haven't been paying attention.
00:15:32.100 Dr. Erica Anderson is a prominent 71-year-old clinical psychologist who is herself transgender and who now says, I think it's gone too far.
00:15:42.560 The L.A. Times summarizes, she's come to believe that some children identifying as trans are falling under the influence of their peers and social media.
00:15:52.080 If you attend a small dinner party of typically very liberal, upper-income Angelenos, it is not uncommon to hear parents who each have a trans kid having a conversation about that.
00:16:05.060 What are the odds of that happening in Youngstown, Ohio?
00:16:08.160 If this spike in trans children is all natural, why is it regional?
00:16:14.920 Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them.
00:16:18.380 It's like that day we suddenly all needed bottled water all the time.
00:16:31.440 If we can't admit that in certain enclaves there is some level of trendiness to the idea of being anything other than straight, then this is not a serious science-based discussion.
00:16:42.800 It's a blow being struck in the culture wars using children as cannon fodder.
00:16:47.340 The CBC is really engaging not in journalism but in cancel culture.
00:16:52.560 They're trying to name and shame these candidates.
00:16:54.440 I think it's going to have the opposite effect, actually.
00:16:56.760 I think a lot of people are going to read this and say, oh, now I know who to vote for.
00:17:01.720 Now I know who the sane people are.
00:17:03.980 I think this is actually going to backfire on the CBC.
00:17:07.240 They quote one candidate who says, who, they say, compared non-binary genders to a disorder.
00:17:15.400 Well, you know, I'm old enough to know that it was just a few years ago that the psychiatric community, they have this, it's called the DSM.
00:17:25.500 It's a book of actual maladies.
00:17:27.840 It lists every syndrome and disease out there.
00:17:31.020 And gender dysphoria was what they called transgenderism until about five minutes ago.
00:17:36.420 And like these candidates, I'm not proposing that anyone be mean to anyone.
00:17:43.020 But to try to cancel and name and shame parents for saying what was universally accepted as medical science a decade ago shows how extreme the CBC itself is.
00:17:55.640 This is what they call an investigation, the speaking power to truth.
00:17:58.780 This is my favorite line in the whole thing.
00:18:02.800 CBC News contacted nearly a dozen candidates in the rest of the province to better understand what policies they intended to implement or repeal.
00:18:11.080 None agreed to be interviewed for broadcast, nor were they willing to elaborate via email.
00:18:16.080 You know what?
00:18:16.580 I'm so proud of those candidates for treating the CBC like they are.
00:18:20.700 A bunch of wackadoodles, as my friend Sheila Gunn-Reed would say.
00:18:23.780 These are people who are so extreme, and they're not journalists at all.
00:18:26.780 They're activists.
00:18:27.940 And you can never treat a CBC reporter as having good faith.
00:18:32.520 You have to assume they're operating in bad faith on an agenda for their boss.
00:18:36.580 I'm not saying there are no good people at the CBC.
00:18:39.020 I've actually met a few.
00:18:40.400 I mean, when you have nearly 10,000 people on your staff, you're going to have some good apples.
00:18:44.840 But this was not journalism.
00:18:47.820 This was a hit piece, an attempt at cancel culture.
00:18:50.600 And kudos to those candidates for not taking the bait and talking to these hacks.
00:18:57.260 One candidate, Jeanette Lee, who was running on an anti-woke platform in Hanover, Ontario, said when reached by phone, she didn't feel, quote, confident talking about her platform.
00:19:07.480 Now, is that really what she said?
00:19:09.240 Because that's the only word they have in quotes, confident.
00:19:12.720 Do you think there's just a teeny tiny chance that that's not what Jeanette said?
00:19:17.220 And that that was just an attempt to embarrass her.
00:19:19.180 Look, this is not a huge or important story.
00:19:23.180 I don't think a lot of people are going to act on this story.
00:19:27.600 I mean, if I lived in one of these communities, I would try and remember who these anti-woke candidates are.
00:19:32.700 The CBC tries to make anti-woke into a bad thing.
00:19:35.660 I don't think it's working.
00:19:38.080 But I think it's a glance behind the scenes into the mind of the CBC.
00:19:42.900 You know, sometimes you walk by a picket fence and every single picket is there, every single plank is there, but then one plank is missing.
00:19:50.700 And just for a second, you glance in and you see what's behind that fence.
00:19:54.640 You see what's in the yard or what's in the park.
00:19:57.500 Just with one plank of wood missing, you just saw into a world that you didn't know before.
00:20:03.700 I think this story is like a picket fence, is like a fence with one plank missing, and we can see into the mind of the CBC.
00:20:11.200 What did we learn about in this story?
00:20:12.760 We didn't actually learn that much about these candidates.
00:20:15.380 I don't know if there's a lot of them.
00:20:17.080 I don't know if this is just the first time the CBC paid attention to them.
00:20:20.460 We didn't learn about the Muslim or other newcomer candidates or parents.
00:20:24.720 We didn't learn anything about that.
00:20:25.880 I don't think we learned a lot about the world from this story, but we learned a lot about the CBC.
00:20:32.760 They're not journalists.
00:20:34.180 They're attack dogs for the woke left.
00:20:36.640 They quote the so-called anti-hate network that got a quarter of a million dollars from Trudeau to attack his political enemies.
00:20:43.480 Anyone who quotes them is in league with Trudeau.
00:20:46.560 This is the state broadcaster, and it's acting like him.
00:20:49.080 We now know what the CBC is going to do in the next federal election when it's Trudeau versus Pierre Polyev.
00:20:56.360 They're not going to do journalism.
00:20:57.520 They're not going to investigate power.
00:20:59.720 They didn't break the news about the Arrive Can app being $54 million in payments to people who say,
00:21:05.420 I didn't get that money.
00:21:06.240 Did you see that story in the Globe and Mail?
00:21:08.120 One company that was listed as having received more than a million dollars for the app,
00:21:12.880 their CEO said, what are you talking about?
00:21:14.400 We have no business here.
00:21:15.380 We've taken no money for the app.
00:21:16.520 It's made up.
00:21:17.060 That would be something I would investigate if I had 10,000 staff and a billion and a half dollars.
00:21:22.660 But the CBC is busy investigating parents who don't like transgenderism taught to grade schoolers.
00:21:28.700 What we have learned is what is going on with the CBC,
00:21:31.120 and that is why it is so essential that if Pierre Polyev wins and becomes prime minister,
00:21:35.420 he must absolutely pull the weed out by its roots.
00:21:39.180 Stephen Harper did many good things as prime minister,
00:21:42.200 but I say it is one of his greatest failures that he did not defund, privatize,
00:21:47.920 or frankly tear down brick by brick the propaganda machine,
00:21:52.480 the ministry of truth that is the CBC.
00:21:55.820 Stay with us.
00:21:56.620 More ahead.
00:21:57.020 Well, one of the most important lawsuits that has come out during the pandemic and the lockdowns,
00:22:16.540 it was important.
00:22:18.060 It was carefully crafted.
00:22:19.440 It had outstanding facts and arguments.
00:22:21.740 It was a core use of our chart of rights and freedoms.
00:22:25.880 It was the challenge to the no-fly list, the unvaccinated punishments that Justin Trudeau,
00:22:32.820 Omar El-Gabra, and others inflicted upon millions of Canadians.
00:22:36.180 The reason why it was such an important lawsuit is because I think it genuinely had the greatest likelihood of success,
00:22:45.160 given how egregious the violations on personal mobility were,
00:22:49.180 how unscientific it was,
00:22:51.400 and frankly, the quality of the lawyers, the legal drafting,
00:22:56.420 and indeed the plaintiffs themselves.
00:22:59.120 No one less than Brian Peckford,
00:23:01.100 the former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador,
00:23:03.980 the last surviving premier who negotiated and signed the Charter of Rights itself,
00:23:09.640 was one of the plaintiffs,
00:23:11.700 and others like Maxime Bernier and people of different walks of life.
00:23:15.780 The lawsuit, which you can find on our website underneath this video,
00:23:19.720 is compelling reading,
00:23:21.520 not just for lawyers,
00:23:22.680 but it's a work of history and politics and law,
00:23:25.740 and it was so important that this case go to court,
00:23:30.040 and yet yesterday it was thrown out,
00:23:32.360 not on substantive reasons,
00:23:34.260 but because the court says,
00:23:35.980 no, we don't need to talk about it,
00:23:38.500 it's not relevant anymore.
00:23:40.720 At least that's my one-line summary of it.
00:23:42.520 Joining us now via Skype from beautiful British Columbia
00:23:46.560 is the aforementioned premier Brian Peckford.
00:23:50.020 Yes, I think you did actually sum it up.
00:23:52.480 It's very puzzling to my lawyers and I
00:23:56.220 that this would be considered moot,
00:23:59.740 given that the travel bans in question
00:24:03.000 were suspended, not cancelled,
00:24:07.080 and that the public interest is so high in this case
00:24:11.460 because it affected 5 to 6 million Canadians,
00:24:15.840 and we don't know when and if it will affect these Canadians again.
00:24:20.800 So we thought that the public interest here
00:24:24.260 would far outweigh any technical legal issue like mootness.
00:24:30.440 We really don't have to talk about this now.
00:24:33.520 Meanwhile, a whole bunch of people were violated,
00:24:37.220 their rights were violated,
00:24:38.840 they weren't allowed to travel,
00:24:40.220 they weren't allowed to visit loved ones
00:24:42.760 who were dying in a hospital in another part of the country,
00:24:46.360 and they weren't allowed to travel for their business,
00:24:48.920 and so on.
00:24:50.240 So it's a, you know,
00:24:51.440 it's a brutal violation of the rights
00:24:55.920 and freedoms described in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
00:25:01.660 Well, not just that,
00:25:03.180 but so much work had been done already.
00:25:08.160 The statement of claim,
00:25:10.000 the statement of defense,
00:25:11.620 examinations of expert witnesses,
00:25:13.840 more than a dozen government experts,
00:25:16.920 government officials, bureaucrats,
00:25:19.020 very senior people testified under oath
00:25:22.060 about how this law was crafted,
00:25:24.820 and some of the revelations
00:25:26.260 that we learned from lawyer Keith Wilson were stunning.
00:25:30.680 The fact that that was all stopped from having a hearing,
00:25:34.100 I mean, hundreds,
00:25:35.420 probably a thousand hours worth of work
00:25:38.440 has gone into this lawsuit anyways.
00:25:40.340 It was the government that delayed it.
00:25:43.500 And now for the government to say,
00:25:44.700 oh, too bad, so sad.
00:25:47.160 I know you were ready for trial,
00:25:49.340 and we really, really wanted to have a trial on it,
00:25:52.140 but sorry, guys,
00:25:53.460 it's no longer relevant.
00:25:54.800 After devastating millions of lives for a year,
00:25:58.460 it seems to me that the court simply was shirking
00:26:01.260 its duty.
00:26:03.360 It did not want to get its hands into it
00:26:07.040 because it didn't want to be offside from the government.
00:26:09.060 And so far,
00:26:09.800 I can't think of a single court in this country,
00:26:12.620 Premier,
00:26:13.220 that has rolled back any substantive provision
00:26:16.460 of the lockdowns.
00:26:17.360 Two years of brutal lockdowns,
00:26:18.980 and the Charter of Rights has protected us
00:26:20.840 from precisely nothing.
00:26:23.260 I couldn't agree more.
00:26:25.200 And the outpouring of negativity
00:26:27.960 towards the decision,
00:26:30.080 in my own case since last night,
00:26:32.520 just, you know,
00:26:33.420 whenever it came down last night
00:26:34.740 when my lawyer called me,
00:26:35.880 and when I posted on my blog
00:26:37.400 that the judge had ruled against us,
00:26:40.160 within a few hours,
00:26:41.300 over 7,000 Canadians
00:26:43.100 have taken it upon themselves
00:26:45.280 to write me about this already.
00:26:47.640 And before the day is out,
00:26:48.600 there'll be well over 10,000 Canadians.
00:26:51.600 Very angry,
00:26:52.800 very angry,
00:26:53.500 because they see this as a legal technicality
00:26:57.020 denying justice.
00:26:59.960 And I think they're absolutely right here.
00:27:02.220 What the judges and what the courts are doing
00:27:04.880 is finding legal technicalities.
00:27:07.940 And you, being a lawyer,
00:27:10.340 practically, you know, as a lawyer,
00:27:13.260 would understand this.
00:27:15.060 You know, there's legal technicalities,
00:27:17.280 and then there's justice.
00:27:18.240 And I thought at the end of the day
00:27:19.960 that at least the superior courts of this land
00:27:23.240 would understand the justice part
00:27:27.100 more than trying to find legal avenues
00:27:29.820 by which to deny this going ahead.
00:27:33.340 The other thing is,
00:27:34.440 which is really important,
00:27:35.860 that my lawyers and I thought for sure
00:27:37.600 under the process
00:27:39.020 which we established with the court,
00:27:41.440 an expedited process,
00:27:43.420 the Government of Canada,
00:27:45.520 the Department of Justice,
00:27:46.380 had the opportunity,
00:27:47.640 and we thought they'd really take advantage of this
00:27:49.580 because they were so sure
00:27:51.860 of their case in the court,
00:27:53.340 to cross-examine me
00:27:54.520 if the case went ahead.
00:27:57.280 And before the mootless argument
00:27:58.960 came up,
00:28:00.520 our lawyers said
00:28:01.760 to the Department of Justice lawyers,
00:28:03.620 of course,
00:28:04.040 you're going to cross-examine
00:28:06.100 Mr. Peckford
00:28:07.760 and put him on the stand.
00:28:09.100 No, no, we're going to waive that opportunity.
00:28:11.600 So at every point
00:28:15.320 where they could delay,
00:28:18.520 where they could not interview
00:28:21.220 one of the people like myself
00:28:24.440 to cross-examine them,
00:28:26.460 demonstrates that this government
00:28:28.060 was going to use whatever means
00:28:30.400 through the Department of Justice
00:28:31.560 to ensure that this case
00:28:33.520 was not heard
00:28:34.660 in the normal course of events.
00:28:36.840 A lawyer wrote me this morning,
00:28:38.520 he'll be interested in this,
00:28:39.420 and said,
00:28:40.080 I wonder what would have happened
00:28:41.540 if the judge ruled
00:28:44.160 that the residential schools issue
00:28:46.600 is not a live issue anymore
00:28:48.400 because there are no more
00:28:49.340 residential schools
00:28:50.340 and therefore
00:28:50.840 we don't have to decide on this.
00:28:53.160 There would be revolutions
00:28:54.200 and there would be protests
00:28:56.880 in the streets.
00:28:58.620 But in like manner,
00:29:00.140 here we have
00:29:00.740 five or six million Canadians
00:29:02.240 who are denied
00:29:03.380 for several months
00:29:04.740 their rights and freedoms
00:29:06.240 under a constitution,
00:29:08.760 under our charter.
00:29:10.580 And yet,
00:29:11.520 they can do this
00:29:12.860 and get away with it.
00:29:15.120 That's such a great analogy
00:29:16.840 about mootness
00:29:19.080 and Justin Trudeau
00:29:20.660 never hesitates
00:29:21.960 to dig up old problems
00:29:23.580 from decades or centuries ago
00:29:25.020 to apologize for.
00:29:26.400 He's just not as good
00:29:27.320 at taking accountability
00:29:29.340 for his own rash decisions.
00:29:31.620 One of the most interesting things
00:29:33.380 we've learned
00:29:34.220 even in recent weeks
00:29:35.320 is that the vaccines
00:29:36.860 were never tested
00:29:38.080 to block transmission.
00:29:41.340 So the whole concept
00:29:43.100 of banning
00:29:43.800 an unvaccinated person
00:29:44.960 from an airplane
00:29:45.820 is that was moot,
00:29:48.660 so to speak.
00:29:49.280 Because if the vaccine
00:29:50.960 only protected yourself
00:29:52.780 and we can debate
00:29:53.480 whether or not
00:29:53.960 that was true
00:29:54.580 and if Pfizer is now admitting,
00:29:56.420 no, no,
00:29:56.800 we never said
00:29:57.800 that it stopped transmission.
00:29:59.620 In fact,
00:29:59.900 they did absolutely say that.
00:30:02.080 There was no rationale
00:30:03.240 for keeping people
00:30:04.140 off a plane
00:30:04.800 other than political vengeance.
00:30:07.460 And that is why
00:30:08.640 none of the establishment
00:30:10.500 wants to have
00:30:11.340 a full hearing of this.
00:30:12.400 Exactly.
00:30:13.760 And their whole case
00:30:16.620 crumbles
00:30:17.780 on that scientific basis.
00:30:21.380 And also,
00:30:22.020 the chief epidemiologist
00:30:23.340 for the public health agency
00:30:25.620 under oath
00:30:27.080 said they did not recommend
00:30:29.040 to the government
00:30:30.760 that they bring in
00:30:31.860 these travel mandates.
00:30:33.160 The top people
00:30:34.020 in the Department of Transport
00:30:35.540 through which the court case
00:30:38.160 was started in the beginning
00:30:39.780 testified on their oath
00:30:41.440 that they did not recommend
00:30:42.760 to bring in
00:30:43.800 this travel mandate.
00:30:45.540 So their whole case
00:30:46.940 has crumbled.
00:30:47.660 And I guess you're right
00:30:48.700 that because it had crumbled
00:30:50.580 on its scientific merit
00:30:52.840 and because there was
00:30:54.220 very little to argue
00:30:56.760 on the constitutional side
00:30:58.620 of things,
00:30:59.140 because it's clear
00:31:00.020 in Section 7 of the Act,
00:31:03.040 Section 6 of the Act
00:31:04.520 of the Charter,
00:31:06.780 that they had to therefore
00:31:08.260 devise means and ways
00:31:10.080 to ensure that this
00:31:11.460 didn't go forward
00:31:12.260 because they would lose.
00:31:15.140 You know,
00:31:15.780 a lot of institutions
00:31:16.980 failed us
00:31:17.940 in the last two years.
00:31:19.860 Our democracy depends
00:31:20.920 on checks and balances.
00:31:22.260 I mean,
00:31:22.400 I'll list a few of them.
00:31:24.120 The official opposition
00:31:25.340 did not oppose.
00:31:27.380 None of the official
00:31:28.320 oppositions in any province
00:31:29.920 or territory
00:31:30.440 opposed in any meaningful way.
00:31:32.460 The media turned
00:31:33.540 into propagandists,
00:31:34.660 not skeptics
00:31:35.540 asking curious questions.
00:31:37.020 The colleges of physicians
00:31:38.840 and surgeons
00:31:39.640 prosecuted doctors
00:31:41.160 who dared to have
00:31:41.760 a second opinion.
00:31:43.500 Police departments
00:31:44.280 became bully enforcers
00:31:46.280 of bizarre rules.
00:31:48.020 But the courts,
00:31:49.180 Premier,
00:31:49.540 the courts,
00:31:50.440 I think,
00:31:51.120 fell down hardest of all.
00:31:53.120 When I went to law school,
00:31:54.460 the Charter of Rights
00:31:55.280 was held up
00:31:55.880 as a sacred document
00:31:57.640 second only to the Bible
00:31:58.980 for its holiness
00:31:59.740 and its centrality
00:32:01.560 to our Canadian character.
00:32:03.800 And yet,
00:32:04.480 here is,
00:32:05.100 it was the associate
00:32:06.240 chief judge
00:32:07.220 of the federal court,
00:32:08.400 is that right?
00:32:09.280 Who said,
00:32:09.820 no, no,
00:32:10.500 not important.
00:32:11.620 There's no public interest here.
00:32:13.140 No, that's moot.
00:32:14.000 It ended a few weeks ago,
00:32:15.320 so no need to have
00:32:16.740 a hearing on it.
00:32:18.000 And I note that
00:32:18.760 our Supreme Court of Canada
00:32:19.780 has not ruled
00:32:20.640 on a single lockdown matter.
00:32:22.420 I guess they're on vacation.
00:32:23.500 They had other things to do
00:32:24.560 these past two years.
00:32:26.340 I think the courts
00:32:27.560 have given themselves
00:32:29.080 a black eye.
00:32:29.780 And let me say one more thing.
00:32:30.680 I'd love your reaction to this.
00:32:31.840 One of the concepts
00:32:34.700 of our courts
00:32:35.340 is that you get
00:32:36.040 your day in court.
00:32:37.540 Even if you have
00:32:38.280 a goofy claim,
00:32:39.540 a wacky claim,
00:32:40.680 a hopeless claim,
00:32:41.920 unless it is purely
00:32:43.100 a vexatious lawsuit
00:32:45.020 designed purely
00:32:46.800 to abuse the system,
00:32:48.180 which is extremely rare,
00:32:49.280 by the way,
00:32:50.620 everyone gets
00:32:51.320 their day in court,
00:32:52.200 even people
00:32:52.920 with hopeless causes.
00:32:54.980 And you know,
00:32:55.320 it's important
00:32:56.000 because let them
00:32:58.280 have their day in court
00:32:59.160 and let the judge
00:32:59.960 rule against them
00:33:00.660 and let the judge
00:33:01.340 explain why.
00:33:02.380 And they can at least say,
00:33:03.760 well, I played the game
00:33:04.860 and I lost
00:33:05.660 under the rules,
00:33:06.720 but at least I was allowed
00:33:07.780 to play the game.
00:33:09.760 And this judge,
00:33:11.140 this associate chief judge
00:33:12.500 yesterday said,
00:33:13.440 no,
00:33:14.340 we're not even going
00:33:15.700 to give you
00:33:16.280 your day in court.
00:33:17.840 We're too busy.
00:33:19.920 This is moot.
00:33:21.500 And two years
00:33:22.640 of lockdowns
00:33:23.880 and pandemics,
00:33:24.660 oh, it's suddenly
00:33:25.260 not relevant.
00:33:26.440 And I think
00:33:27.560 millions of people
00:33:29.480 are saying,
00:33:29.880 well, what's the bloody
00:33:30.640 point of a court then?
00:33:32.300 What is the point
00:33:33.200 of a court?
00:33:33.800 It has more important
00:33:34.860 files to work on,
00:33:35.960 does it?
00:33:36.620 It has more grave
00:33:37.960 civil liberties
00:33:38.560 violations to work on,
00:33:39.900 does it?
00:33:40.580 And so it's not just
00:33:41.740 these other institutions
00:33:42.760 I mentioned
00:33:43.300 that have a black eye,
00:33:44.500 the opposition parties,
00:33:45.880 the media,
00:33:46.440 the police,
00:33:47.040 the colleges
00:33:47.440 of physicians and surgeons.
00:33:49.200 It is the courts
00:33:50.600 and the judges
00:33:51.480 themselves
00:33:52.060 who have lost
00:33:53.020 the support
00:33:55.300 and the love
00:33:56.360 of Canadians.
00:33:56.980 And I put myself
00:33:57.920 in the category
00:33:58.700 of someone
00:33:59.120 who's deeply
00:33:59.800 disappointed in the law
00:34:00.900 and I say this
00:34:01.800 is someone
00:34:02.140 who used to be a lawyer.
00:34:05.220 Ezra, you make
00:34:06.100 such a wonderful point.
00:34:08.120 I've done over
00:34:08.740 300 interviews
00:34:09.720 in the last
00:34:10.620 300 and so days.
00:34:13.280 Live rallies,
00:34:15.120 freedom rallies
00:34:15.700 and so on.
00:34:16.880 And one of the things
00:34:17.840 I used to defend
00:34:19.000 and I have another one
00:34:20.840 tomorrow
00:34:21.360 on Vancouver Island
00:34:22.760 and one of the things
00:34:23.880 I used to defend
00:34:24.760 in the question
00:34:25.480 and answer period
00:34:26.480 was that
00:34:26.980 which was like
00:34:27.840 an hour and a half
00:34:28.740 to two hours.
00:34:29.640 I would speak
00:34:30.100 for 40 minutes
00:34:30.920 and I said to everybody
00:34:32.560 in the audience,
00:34:33.500 hold your questions,
00:34:34.500 hold your comments.
00:34:35.480 I'll stay here
00:34:36.480 if it's all night
00:34:37.380 until everybody
00:34:38.280 asks questions,
00:34:39.760 everybody gives a comment.
00:34:41.380 And one of the things
00:34:42.220 I defended,
00:34:43.700 at the end of the day
00:34:45.220 I would say to everybody,
00:34:46.680 I have to play
00:34:47.880 the system out
00:34:49.320 because not to do so,
00:34:51.200 I could always be criticized,
00:34:52.660 but you didn't go
00:34:53.780 through the judiciary.
00:34:55.220 You didn't go
00:34:56.580 through the final process
00:34:58.680 where everybody
00:34:59.900 is guaranteed
00:35:00.940 a hearing
00:35:02.480 on a serious matter.
00:35:05.900 And I cannot now,
00:35:07.940 tomorrow when I go
00:35:08.980 before people
00:35:09.940 in a live rally,
00:35:12.160 be able to defend
00:35:13.420 all of those arguments
00:35:15.720 that I made.
00:35:16.860 The court has invalidated
00:35:19.080 my argument
00:35:20.280 that I was using
00:35:21.280 that they would be legitimate
00:35:22.740 and hear the case.
00:35:24.900 They won't even hear the case.
00:35:27.020 And as I said
00:35:27.700 in my blog entry
00:35:29.480 last night,
00:35:30.420 announcing that the court
00:35:31.520 had ruled against the case,
00:35:33.920 I thought that when I joined,
00:35:37.400 when Newfoundland joined Canada
00:35:39.280 in 1949,
00:35:40.800 we were joining a country
00:35:42.200 that respected the Magna Carta,
00:35:45.700 which was really the principle
00:35:47.960 of being able to get redressed
00:35:50.060 before an independent judiciary.
00:35:53.100 And now we find
00:35:54.620 these many
00:35:56.000 six, seven, eight,
00:35:57.360 900 years later,
00:35:58.840 1,000 years later,
00:36:00.320 that no longer
00:36:01.760 does the Magna Carta
00:36:03.260 and the foundations
00:36:04.440 of our democracy
00:36:05.440 hold in 2022.
00:36:07.800 And that is perhaps
00:36:09.560 the most fundamentally
00:36:10.340 disturbing thing to me
00:36:11.740 because I get goosebumps.
00:36:14.360 I get goosebumps
00:36:15.760 to think
00:36:16.380 that I was part
00:36:17.860 of a system.
00:36:18.480 51 years ago,
00:36:21.520 this month,
00:36:22.860 I got involved
00:36:23.760 in organized politics.
00:36:25.460 51 years ago,
00:36:26.960 almost to this day.
00:36:30.040 And I got involved
00:36:31.620 in politics
00:36:32.120 because I thought
00:36:32.780 I was going to be engaged
00:36:34.020 in the process
00:36:34.800 of democracy.
00:36:36.720 And now I have to
00:36:38.340 put my name on the line
00:36:39.680 51 years later
00:36:40.880 and argue my point
00:36:43.260 and have it
00:36:44.280 dismiss
00:36:45.200 without even being argued
00:36:46.860 before what I thought
00:36:48.240 was a legitimate
00:36:49.700 superior court.
00:36:50.940 And so,
00:36:51.440 by the way,
00:36:52.140 I also take issue
00:36:53.140 with the,
00:36:54.140 and you listed them all
00:36:55.520 except the think tanks,
00:36:57.560 the so-called think tanks
00:36:58.600 in Canada,
00:36:59.380 you know,
00:36:59.680 which sort of stand apart
00:37:00.780 from academia,
00:37:02.020 stand apart from the press,
00:37:03.300 stand apart from everybody
00:37:04.360 and are supposed to be
00:37:05.700 there as the great oracles,
00:37:07.300 right?
00:37:08.240 Your program
00:37:09.500 and you as a person
00:37:10.980 and Rebel News
00:37:12.300 and several other groups
00:37:14.120 that have arisen
00:37:14.880 as a result of this
00:37:15.960 in the last two years
00:37:16.820 have been the only
00:37:18.180 bulwarks
00:37:19.000 to defend
00:37:20.320 freedom
00:37:21.360 in our nation.
00:37:23.080 And,
00:37:23.740 you know,
00:37:24.180 I applaud you
00:37:25.120 and I applaud
00:37:25.940 your organization
00:37:26.880 for standing up
00:37:28.440 and having to go
00:37:29.260 to court yourself
00:37:30.020 to even get to
00:37:30.660 a press conference.
00:37:31.940 But this is what
00:37:32.620 it's come to.
00:37:33.720 And Ezra,
00:37:34.720 we cannot stop now.
00:37:36.720 We must take this,
00:37:38.140 we're going to appeal
00:37:38.840 this if we can
00:37:39.520 to the federal appeal court
00:37:40.860 and then to the Supreme Court
00:37:42.260 of Canada
00:37:42.620 if necessary.
00:37:43.540 We're taking this
00:37:44.480 all the way
00:37:45.380 so that we,
00:37:47.360 hopefully,
00:37:48.080 by doing this,
00:37:48.960 embarrass
00:37:49.420 some of these last judges
00:37:51.520 to take a second look
00:37:52.920 at this
00:37:53.320 and understand
00:37:54.380 that justice
00:37:55.280 is not being served
00:37:56.960 right now.
00:37:58.500 Well,
00:37:59.040 that was going to be
00:37:59.680 my next question
00:38:00.520 is because,
00:38:01.760 of course,
00:38:02.220 the federal court
00:38:02.940 is subject to the oversight
00:38:04.460 of the federal court
00:38:05.320 of appeal
00:38:05.920 and that itself
00:38:07.080 answers to the Supreme Court
00:38:08.440 of Canada
00:38:08.940 and maybe they can come back
00:38:10.480 from their summer vacation
00:38:11.540 and hear a case
00:38:12.820 regarding this little thing
00:38:14.080 called the lockdown.
00:38:16.160 I am not too optimistic
00:38:17.860 because,
00:38:18.720 of course,
00:38:19.200 appeal courts
00:38:19.960 generally do not overturn
00:38:21.560 lower courts.
00:38:22.660 Just,
00:38:23.100 you know,
00:38:23.400 mathematically,
00:38:24.240 it's improbable.
00:38:25.720 But I remember
00:38:26.860 going through this lawsuit
00:38:28.160 and we're going to put
00:38:28.820 the lawsuit
00:38:29.320 underneath this video,
00:38:30.940 a link to it.
00:38:31.940 We've done that before.
00:38:33.340 Not only have I gone
00:38:34.080 through it with you,
00:38:35.220 but I went through it
00:38:35.880 with one of your lawyers,
00:38:37.380 Keith Wilson.
00:38:38.000 It was an excellent lawsuit
00:38:39.400 and I say that
00:38:41.080 as someone
00:38:42.280 who has reviewed
00:38:42.900 many,
00:38:43.580 many lawsuits
00:38:44.180 during the pandemic.
00:38:46.660 It really did
00:38:47.700 deserve its day in court.
00:38:48.980 Let me throw one more
00:38:49.620 thing at you
00:38:50.160 because you were talking
00:38:50.960 about how you believed
00:38:52.540 in the judiciary.
00:38:53.500 Well,
00:38:53.900 I remember there's
00:38:54.980 three big branches
00:38:56.080 of government.
00:38:56.780 There's the legislature.
00:38:58.380 Those are the people
00:38:58.920 who vote on laws.
00:38:59.900 There's the judiciary.
00:39:01.760 Those are the judges
00:39:02.540 that review the laws.
00:39:04.520 And then there's
00:39:05.300 the executive.
00:39:06.560 So there's three branches
00:39:07.540 of government.
00:39:08.080 So the legislature
00:39:10.260 was not involved
00:39:11.400 with this at all.
00:39:12.580 This was not debated.
00:39:13.760 This was not,
00:39:14.480 this no fly list.
00:39:15.560 This was not debated.
00:39:17.080 There were not hearings
00:39:18.060 about it.
00:39:19.660 And the courts
00:39:20.620 refused to hear it.
00:39:21.520 This was an executive
00:39:23.300 decision,
00:39:23.820 not even by the prime
00:39:25.160 minister.
00:39:25.560 This was by some bureaucrats.
00:39:27.920 That is not how
00:39:28.720 a democracy works.
00:39:30.180 We have these three
00:39:31.060 branches that are,
00:39:33.380 that theoretically
00:39:34.980 hold each other
00:39:35.860 to account.
00:39:36.400 There was no
00:39:36.820 legislator debate.
00:39:38.060 There was no vote
00:39:39.020 on this.
00:39:40.280 And it's,
00:39:40.940 there was no transcripts.
00:39:42.060 There was no hearings.
00:39:42.980 They didn't ask people.
00:39:44.320 They didn't show
00:39:45.260 their work.
00:39:46.160 This was true.
00:39:48.160 Autocracy.
00:39:50.100 No question.
00:39:52.600 Parliamentary committee.
00:39:54.000 One would have thought
00:39:54.880 that all of the
00:39:55.620 provincial legislatures
00:39:56.820 and the federal
00:39:57.760 parliament,
00:39:58.940 given that mandates
00:39:59.880 came from both
00:40:00.820 jurisdictions,
00:40:02.020 would have had
00:40:02.760 the parliamentary
00:40:03.380 committee overseeing
00:40:05.080 this very important
00:40:07.000 unusual circumstance.
00:40:08.880 That's what it demanded.
00:40:10.380 Section one
00:40:11.160 of the charter
00:40:11.820 said,
00:40:13.840 you can override
00:40:14.840 these rights and freedoms
00:40:15.820 if you can
00:40:16.500 demonstrably justify.
00:40:18.500 Those are the key words.
00:40:20.380 And
00:40:20.780 demonstrably justify
00:40:22.560 within a free
00:40:23.820 and democratic society.
00:40:25.880 Neither one of those
00:40:26.840 conditions have been met
00:40:27.960 by anything
00:40:28.820 any government
00:40:29.800 in Canada
00:40:30.380 has done.
00:40:31.160 And I argue this
00:40:32.120 every day
00:40:33.000 in every meeting
00:40:34.220 and every interview
00:40:35.400 and every rally I do.
00:40:36.920 And I will
00:40:37.460 to the day I die.
00:40:38.680 They have not even met
00:40:39.860 the fundamentals
00:40:40.700 of section one
00:40:42.120 of the charter.
00:40:43.920 And,
00:40:44.120 and by the way,
00:40:45.680 while speaking of that,
00:40:47.120 the charter,
00:40:48.700 the main
00:40:49.400 first words
00:40:51.400 of the charter
00:40:51.960 are this country
00:40:53.120 is founded
00:40:53.840 upon the principle
00:40:54.980 of the supremacy
00:40:56.640 of God
00:40:57.320 and the rule of law.
00:40:58.520 So we have the supremacy
00:40:59.960 of God being ignored.
00:41:01.400 We have the rule of law
00:41:02.280 being ignored.
00:41:03.340 We have demonstrably
00:41:04.220 justified being ignored.
00:41:05.840 And we have
00:41:06.280 rule of law being
00:41:07.720 and the free
00:41:09.320 and democratic society.
00:41:10.980 And you know,
00:41:11.340 the demonstrably
00:41:12.100 democratic society
00:41:13.240 which gets the parliament
00:41:14.060 party.
00:41:15.220 And so does demonstrably.
00:41:16.800 Demonstrably means
00:41:17.460 you can demonstrate
00:41:18.320 it to people
00:41:18.980 if they're going to
00:41:19.860 infringe your rights,
00:41:20.720 they have to demonstrate
00:41:21.800 it to you
00:41:22.860 and not giving you
00:41:24.340 a day in court,
00:41:25.260 not having a debate
00:41:26.240 in the legislature,
00:41:27.100 not having any scrutiny.
00:41:29.540 You had to coax
00:41:30.500 this information
00:41:31.280 out of them
00:41:31.720 through a legal process.
00:41:33.920 The charter of rights
00:41:35.140 failed.
00:41:36.720 And it's terrifying
00:41:38.220 to have this conversation
00:41:39.500 with the last living
00:41:40.380 signatory of the thing.
00:41:42.360 And by the way,
00:41:42.980 I remember
00:41:46.540 when you mentioned
00:41:47.260 demands to be justified.
00:41:48.840 Early on,
00:41:49.760 17 months,
00:41:51.000 early on in the talks
00:41:52.320 about the charter,
00:41:53.640 one of the things
00:41:54.460 when we came to section one
00:41:55.820 that we already
00:41:56.900 had sort of agreed to
00:41:58.100 was justified.
00:42:00.540 And if Peter Lougheed
00:42:01.500 was alive today,
00:42:02.580 if Bill Bennett
00:42:03.160 was alive today,
00:42:04.140 if Alan Blakeney
00:42:04.860 was alive today,
00:42:06.200 if Serling Lyon
00:42:06.960 was alive today,
00:42:08.500 if Premier McLean
00:42:09.440 of PEI
00:42:10.120 was alive today,
00:42:11.200 all of those
00:42:12.220 first ministers
00:42:13.160 were part
00:42:14.360 of the cabal
00:42:15.760 of first ministers
00:42:16.720 who put in,
00:42:18.000 including me,
00:42:18.960 demonstrably justified.
00:42:20.780 We wanted to
00:42:21.660 strengthen it.
00:42:22.540 You cannot only
00:42:23.280 just justify,
00:42:24.100 you've got to go
00:42:24.620 out of your way
00:42:25.560 to justify this
00:42:27.440 in order to override.
00:42:29.520 And then we put in
00:42:30.440 free and democratic society
00:42:31.720 because we thought
00:42:32.300 that would copperfasten it now.
00:42:34.480 There's just no way
00:42:35.440 unless it was a real
00:42:36.520 insurrection
00:42:37.460 or a war
00:42:38.300 or something.
00:42:38.920 And remember,
00:42:39.420 in section four
00:42:40.240 of the charter,
00:42:41.620 it talks about
00:42:42.480 war and insurrection
00:42:43.740 for extending
00:42:44.660 the parliament
00:42:45.220 right in the charter itself.
00:42:47.100 So the concept
00:42:47.800 was alive and well
00:42:49.540 in our minds
00:42:50.820 at that time
00:42:51.640 because we have it
00:42:52.540 in there in section four.
00:42:53.860 So there's no basis
00:42:55.520 in logic
00:42:56.300 or in the charter
00:42:58.140 to do,
00:42:59.320 to justify
00:42:59.860 what they're doing.
00:43:01.500 Yeah.
00:43:02.180 Well,
00:43:02.660 Premier Peckford,
00:43:03.400 you're a national treasure.
00:43:04.800 You're a great patriot.
00:43:05.960 You're a great Canadian.
00:43:07.540 And it's a,
00:43:08.500 even though this is
00:43:09.500 a dark moment,
00:43:10.580 it's a pleasure
00:43:11.140 to talk with you.
00:43:11.920 I sincerely hope
00:43:12.980 that you and your lawyers
00:43:14.000 come to the decision
00:43:15.540 to appeal this.
00:43:16.480 I certainly hope you do.
00:43:17.820 And we will be watching
00:43:18.880 it every step of the way.
00:43:21.160 And we'll be supporting you
00:43:22.940 morally and journalistically.
00:43:24.780 And I know that
00:43:25.240 the Justice Center
00:43:26.080 for Constitutional Freedoms,
00:43:27.940 great guys,
00:43:29.060 one of the few folks
00:43:30.360 who were fighting
00:43:31.060 for freedom
00:43:32.020 during these dark days.
00:43:32.980 I salute them.
00:43:34.360 And I mentioned
00:43:35.300 your lawyer,
00:43:35.920 Keith Wilson.
00:43:36.560 I admire John Carpe,
00:43:38.140 the president over there.
00:43:39.540 You guys have done
00:43:40.540 more for freedom
00:43:41.320 than all these other institutions
00:43:43.380 that we were talking about.
00:43:44.780 Keep up the good fight,
00:43:45.780 my friend,
00:43:46.640 and keep your energy
00:43:47.960 and keep your spirits high.
00:43:49.260 We're not done
00:43:49.780 this fight yet.
00:43:51.840 No, you can say that again.
00:43:53.260 And I look forward
00:43:53.860 to seeing your people
00:43:54.740 in Calgary
00:43:55.440 to an event
00:43:56.300 that you and your organization
00:43:57.940 are sponsoring
00:43:58.580 at the end of November.
00:44:00.300 And thank you
00:44:00.780 for all your work.
00:44:01.440 Well, thanks for watching
00:44:07.560 today's show.
00:44:08.380 I will be back
00:44:09.440 in our world headquarters
00:44:10.640 on Monday.
00:44:11.500 So thanks for putting up
00:44:12.380 with me being in unusual places
00:44:13.880 without my usual studio.
00:44:15.980 But I think we did a great job
00:44:17.080 and thanks to Celine Glass
00:44:18.200 for helping me on the ground.
00:44:20.960 I think about what we...
00:44:24.600 I talked to you earlier
00:44:25.540 about the so-called
00:44:26.720 investigations by the CBC.
00:44:28.380 You know, we have
00:44:29.440 less than 1%
00:44:30.400 of the budget of the CBC.
00:44:32.420 And what have we been
00:44:33.180 investigating in recent days?
00:44:34.480 Well, the Trucker Commission,
00:44:35.480 like a lot of people,
00:44:36.480 we sent reporters
00:44:37.300 to Berlin, Germany
00:44:38.200 to investigate
00:44:38.820 what the World Health Organization
00:44:40.220 is saying.
00:44:40.980 Right now,
00:44:41.480 we have reporters
00:44:42.080 in Buenos Aires
00:44:42.980 studying what Canadian mayors
00:44:45.520 are doing,
00:44:46.020 sneaking away
00:44:46.820 to a globalist conference
00:44:48.280 to come up with plans
00:44:49.740 for Canada
00:44:50.260 that they never
00:44:50.880 consulted Canadians about.
00:44:52.620 That's what we do
00:44:53.500 on a shoestring budget
00:44:54.840 when we investigate.
00:44:56.500 The CBC investigates parents
00:44:59.000 who are concerned
00:44:59.920 that their kids
00:45:00.540 of tender years
00:45:01.200 are being taught
00:45:01.640 extreme sex ed.
00:45:03.340 Well, that's the rebel for you.
00:45:05.380 Until next time,
00:45:06.680 on behalf of all of us
00:45:08.220 here at Rebel News,
00:45:09.120 including in Edmonton,
00:45:10.300 to you at home,
00:45:11.400 good night
00:45:11.800 and keep fighting for freedom.
00:45:14.060 Hey everyone,
00:45:14.520 William Diaz here
00:45:15.120 with Rebel News.
00:45:16.520 Chinese Communist Party,
00:45:18.280 not the best party, right?
00:45:19.460 Well, we recently learned
00:45:20.960 that the Chinese Communist Party
00:45:22.840 has installed
00:45:24.120 three police stations
00:45:25.520 that are operating here
00:45:26.640 in Canada
00:45:27.680 in the Grand Toronto area.
00:45:29.600 Unbelievable.
00:45:30.300 That's really not good
00:45:31.040 for Canadian sovereignty.
00:45:31.920 So I went to Parliament Hill
00:45:33.180 yesterday
00:45:33.960 and I asked Liberal MPs,
00:45:35.860 why are they allowing
00:45:38.040 China to operate
00:45:40.080 police stations
00:45:40.920 here in our country,
00:45:42.600 in Canada?
00:45:43.540 Could it be because
00:45:44.140 Justin Trudeau
00:45:44.860 has stated his admiration
00:45:46.260 for China's basic dictatorship?
00:45:48.840 Take a look at what he said.
00:45:49.760 There's a level of admiration
00:45:52.680 I actually have for China
00:45:54.280 because their basic dictatorship
00:45:59.600 is allowing them
00:46:01.080 to actually turn their economy
00:46:03.120 around on a dime.
00:46:04.060 In addition to that,
00:46:04.820 I wanted to know
00:46:05.440 whether or not
00:46:06.040 Liberal MPs would push
00:46:07.240 for Justin Trudeau's resignation
00:46:08.740 if it is found
00:46:09.640 in the Emergencies Act inquiry
00:46:11.480 that he invoked
00:46:12.560 the Never Seen Before
00:46:14.540 Emergencies Act
00:46:15.740 unjustifiably
00:46:16.920 and unnecessarily.
00:46:18.320 So let's go see
00:46:18.960 how all of them respond.
00:46:20.980 Mr. Algebra,
00:46:21.840 how are you doing?
00:46:24.180 Can you explain
00:46:25.320 to Canadians
00:46:26.100 why the Chinese Communist Party
00:46:28.040 is operating police stations
00:46:29.300 here in Canada?
00:46:34.260 You're a little bit
00:46:35.060 less spicy than last time.
00:46:39.440 Can you explain
00:46:40.360 why the Chinese Communist Party
00:46:42.040 is operating police stations
00:46:43.340 in Canada?
00:46:43.860 Could it be because
00:46:48.480 Justin Trudeau
00:46:49.120 has an admiration
00:46:49.960 for the Chinese Communist Party?
00:46:56.620 Do you think that's it?
00:46:57.700 Why is the Chinese Communist Party
00:47:05.740 operating police stations
00:47:07.680 in Canada?
00:47:08.460 Mr. Algebra?
00:47:09.160 I think that's it.
00:47:14.160 Our last thing,
00:47:14.720 if Justin,
00:47:15.060 if it's found by the
00:47:16.100 Emergencies Act
00:47:16.580 in the fire
00:47:17.000 that Justin Trudeau
00:47:18.040 invoked the Emergencies Act
00:47:19.920 unjustified
00:47:20.960 in an unjustified manner
00:47:23.000 and unnecessarily,
00:47:24.960 will you push
00:47:25.440 for his resignation?
00:47:26.180 Have a nice day.
00:47:34.820 Mr. Mendocino,
00:47:35.800 why is the Chinese Communist Party
00:47:37.660 operating police stations
00:47:39.060 in Canada?
00:47:42.300 Why is the Chinese Communist Party
00:47:44.240 operating police stations
00:47:45.420 in Canada?
00:47:48.860 Have a good day, sir.
00:47:50.940 Miss Miss Anand,
00:47:51.620 why is the Chinese Communist Party
00:47:53.580 of Canada operating
00:47:54.480 police stations in Canada?
00:47:55.700 The Chinese Communist Party
00:47:57.880 of China
00:47:58.280 operating police stations
00:47:59.540 in Canada.
00:48:01.640 Sorry.
00:48:03.620 What steps will you take
00:48:05.040 to make sure
00:48:05.480 the police stations
00:48:06.360 in Canada
00:48:06.860 will go back to China?
00:48:11.980 Or do you agree
00:48:12.920 with the fact
00:48:13.260 that they're here
00:48:13.660 because your leader
00:48:14.400 has a deep admiration
00:48:15.540 for the communism in China?
00:48:23.360 Can you answer?
00:48:25.700 I'm on my way
00:48:29.040 to an event.
00:48:30.500 Do you agree,
00:48:31.460 yes or no,
00:48:32.080 that China
00:48:33.240 is operating
00:48:33.900 communist police stations
00:48:35.360 in our sovereign country
00:48:37.120 of Canada?
00:48:39.960 Do you agree?
00:48:43.500 Do you agree?
00:48:43.540 have a good day?
00:48:50.340 Perfect.
00:48:50.920 Have a good day.
00:48:51.460 Oh, you're screwing here.
00:48:52.840 Do you agree?
00:48:53.760 Yes or no?
00:48:54.260 will you agree?
00:48:55.260 Will you push for Justin Trudeau's resignation
00:49:03.320 if it is found that he used the emergencies act unnecessarily?
00:49:12.180 Will you push for his resignation?
00:49:13.700 All right.
00:49:27.040 Have a good day, man.
00:49:27.700 Gerrit Cien.
00:49:29.320 There are three police stations
00:49:31.240 from China and Canada.
00:49:32.580 Do you care about Canadian sovereignty?
00:49:34.320 Who are you?
00:49:34.920 Who are you?
00:49:35.500 I'm with Rebel News.
00:49:36.780 Of course I care about Canadian sovereignty
00:49:38.660 and I'm unaware of any information
00:49:41.300 that suggests what you're talking about.
00:49:43.040 There are multiple reports
00:49:44.680 of mainstream media here in Canada
00:49:46.800 saying that we have three police stations
00:49:48.640 operating in Canada.
00:49:50.040 David Mezies did a little investigation himself.
00:49:52.160 Take a look.
00:49:52.580 It has made the news in several media outlets
00:49:55.400 that there are actually Chinese police stations
00:49:59.820 operating on Canadian soil.
00:50:03.220 Two in Markham and one in Scarborough that we know of.
00:50:07.640 And one of the overseas Chinese police stations
00:50:11.340 is based here at the Canada-Toronto
00:50:15.240 Fuking Business Association.
00:50:18.440 Why don't we just go and make another house call
00:50:21.160 and see if anyone's home?
00:50:28.160 As you can see, the door is locked.
00:50:32.480 I see a monitor on, but so far nothing.
00:50:38.740 Mr. Lloyd, what are your thoughts
00:50:40.340 on the Chinese Communist Party
00:50:41.820 operating police stations in Canada?
00:50:43.940 Oh, it's absolutely unacceptable.
00:50:46.320 What actions can the Conservative Party take
00:50:48.860 to remedy the situation?
00:50:50.560 Well, I think we're doing everything we can
00:50:53.080 to call on the government
00:50:53.900 to use its governmental authority
00:50:56.440 to take action on this issue
00:50:57.660 and protect Canadian sovereignty.
00:50:59.400 Sir, why is the Chinese Communist Party
00:51:01.220 operating police stations in Canada?
00:51:08.480 Does the Liberal Party agree about the fact
00:51:11.680 and think it's okay that the Communist Party in China
00:51:15.980 is operating police stations, three of them,
00:51:19.360 here in Canada?
00:51:26.980 Do you think it's good?
00:51:32.480 Do you care about the Canadian sovereignty?
00:51:34.280 Do you, too?
00:51:39.120 You were more talkative last time that I saw you,
00:51:41.120 but I guess it's because you already had an answer.
00:51:42.940 So I'll ask you again.
00:51:44.300 Do you agree?
00:51:45.300 And are you proud of having the Chinese Communist Party
00:51:48.420 operating police stations here in Canada?
00:51:50.800 i'll take that as a yes so so is the reason why you are okay with that because your boss
00:52:06.740 has a deep admiration for the basic dictatorship in china
00:52:10.520 is that why the liberal party is fine with it
00:52:18.740 is that why
00:52:27.500 all right have a good day sir
00:52:32.420 only question answered
00:52:36.060 why is the chinese communist party operating police stations in canada
00:52:41.180 can you answer
00:52:47.540 why is the communist party in china putting canadian sovereignty at risk and operating police stations
00:52:59.300 in canada
00:53:06.060 do you agree with what they're doing
