Hello, my friends. I'm still mad about last Friday's press conference by Doug Ford, where
00:00:08.200
he announced really a police state. I'm also mad at the silence of federal conservatives
00:00:13.280
in the face of the worst crisis since the Second World War. I'll give you my thoughts
00:00:17.780
on that, and I just let her rip at one MP who's just such a disappointment. Before I
00:00:23.700
do that, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's a video version

keeping Rebel News strong, because we don't take a dime from Trudeau. All right, here's
00:01:02.320
Tonight, Ontario lurches from bad to terrible. It's April 19th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:15.600
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:19.400
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:23.480
The only thing I have to say to the government of a wire publisher is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:29.340
I can't get over the appalling press conference that Doug Ford and his cronies in the Ontario
00:01:40.880
government held at the end of the day on Friday. I hesitate to even show him the respect of calling
00:01:47.580
him Premier Ford, and it's simply false advertising to call his party Conservative. I feel the same way
00:01:54.460
about Alberta's so-called United Conservative Party, which is neither united nor conservative.
00:02:00.020
You know, permit this quick tangent for me. Just by chance, I was Googling who was the sitting
00:02:06.680
member of parliament in whose district the Grace Life Church in Parkland County sits. You literally
00:02:13.500
had a constituent, the pastor, in prison for 35 days for holding a church service. You literally have
00:02:19.680
police expropriating an entire church and turning it into a paramilitary garrison. You literally have
00:02:26.360
300 churchgoers meeting in secret every Sunday in an underground church to evade police.
00:02:34.000
And you haven't said a word about any of this, but you call yourself a conservative?
00:02:38.820
It's this guy, a nobody named Dane Lloyd. You know, Pierre Trudeau was wrong about most things,
00:02:44.380
but he said about MPs that they're nobodies a hundred yards off Parliament Hill. That applies
00:02:50.420
in spades to this empty shell, this walking nullity, this child in a man's place. Have you heard Dane
00:02:58.440
Lloyd, MP, say anything about Grace Life Church? I have actually, but they're lies. Look at his own
00:03:08.560
website. Dane Lloyd, Canadian member of parliament for Sturgeon River Parkland, is one of the nation's
00:03:14.340
leading advocates for freedom and access to the vast opportunities Canada presents.
00:03:20.660
Is he, in fact, one of the nation's leading advocates for freedom? I think that's false
00:03:27.000
advertising. I think Dane Lloyd is a wicked liar, and I would tell him that if I ever saw him, but
00:03:32.520
to be honest, he's such a nothing, I don't think I would recognize him if I bumped into him. He's an
00:03:38.900
invisible man known for nothing, for doing nothing, for being nothing when it counted most,
00:03:44.340
one more lie from this lying liar. Dane's outlook, preserving Canadian freedom. Dane's philosophy
00:03:52.580
on life and politics is quite simple. Maintain respect for tradition, but also be willing to
00:03:57.780
adapt when the situation calls for some innovation. With careful consideration and preserving stability
00:04:02.640
and an eye on global trends, Dane believes we need to act boldly as a nation to fight for peace and
00:04:08.960
justice. Yeah, I don't know who you paid to write that stuff for you, Dane. It's pretty clear that you
00:04:15.800
didn't write it yourself, because I don't even think you read it, frankly, because you utterly don't believe
00:04:21.700
it. You believe the opposite. You haven't acted boldly in your entire career. As a backbench,
00:04:27.800
nothing. The people of Sturgeon River Parkland would be better served by an empty seat in parliament.
00:04:34.140
They would save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in salaries and your luxury expenses, but
00:04:39.340
more than that, they wouldn't be laboring under the false pretense that they had someone in parliament
00:04:44.640
who cared about them or freedom. Dane Lloyd is a placebo. He's a fake. He's a counterfeit conservative.
00:04:52.240
I would rather have an honest liberal telling me he believed in the lockdown and believed in
00:04:58.880
arresting church pastors and believed in driving hundreds of Christians to worship in secret. I
00:05:05.100
would rather have an honest liberal than a liar like Dane Lloyd, who says he fights boldly for freedom,
00:05:13.380
but that's a deception for the masses to pretend he's like them. Something to send to them when it's
00:05:18.760
time to ask for donations to help promote Erin O'Toole and his carbon tax campaign.
00:05:24.780
I live in Toronto. I have an awful liberal member of parliament in my district, an incompetent,
00:05:31.520
unethical, permanent politician for life, an aider and a better of Justin Trudeau. But the one thing
00:05:37.660
she is not, the one thing she is not shy about, the one thing she doesn't lie about, is that she's a
00:05:45.460
leftist. She's honest about that. Unlike Dane Lloyd, the hollow man. But really, why should I pick
00:05:51.840
on him? Can you name me one conservative MP who lives up to the title of conservative these days?
00:05:57.120
Look, look at them. Here's Garnett Genuis from the heart of the oil patch near Edmonton.
00:06:04.280
Follow-up. Reconstituent survey mailer received 576 responses. 82% opposed the carbon tax.
00:06:12.020
Question was, do you support the carbon tax? Sent to all households. Survey captures views of
00:06:16.340
respondents. Likely represents population within small margin of error. Mail survey is better than
00:06:21.980
landline calls. So that was him two years ago. Today, he's promoting Erin O'Toole's carbon tax,
00:06:28.200
claiming it's a levy, not a tax. So it's fine, you see. That's what my liberal MP in Toronto says.
00:06:36.540
But at least she's honest that she's a liberal. She doesn't say she's a conservative.
00:06:41.840
All right. Thank you for indulging my detour there. But I have to say, all of
00:06:45.300
these people are engaging in false advertising when they call themselves conservative.
00:06:49.440
I'm sorry. They don't own that word. And we have to take it back from them because they're
00:06:54.160
destroying the meaning of that word. Erin O'Toole has destroyed the reputation
00:06:57.580
that conservatives have for opposing the carbon tax. And all of them are destroying the reputation
00:07:02.900
that conservatives have for respecting civil liberties by not opposing the lockdown. And
00:07:07.000
it's very frustrating. So back to the disgraceful Doug Ford. Take a look at this.
00:07:12.080
We've implemented the strictest measures in all of North America. And the difficult truth is
00:07:19.340
every public health measure we have left comes with a massive cost to people and their lives.
00:07:27.580
But we have never shied away from doing what's necessary.
00:07:32.400
We have made the deliberate decision to temporarily enhance police officers' authority
00:07:37.900
for the duration of the stay-at-home order. Moving forward, police will have the authority
00:07:43.500
to require any individual who is not in a place of residence to first provide their purpose
00:07:50.000
for not being at home and provide their home address. Police will also have the authority to stop a vehicle
00:07:57.160
to inquire about an individual's reason for leaving their residence.
00:08:01.520
And our inspectors will also be ensuring that those who absolutely must come to work
00:08:06.300
are strictly following the public health measures.
00:08:15.180
I'm wondering about these new police powers to just randomly stop someone walking down the street
00:08:20.920
or to pull over a car. What happens if a person refuses to answer the police questions?
00:08:27.820
So by issuing these new additional enforcement measures, it allows police officers to ask the person
00:08:35.380
why they are not at their place of residence and what their place of residence is.
00:08:40.000
And specifically to your question, if you are not willing to comply, then you are breaking the law.
00:08:47.020
If someone sees their neighbours breaking these new regulations and having a party in their yard,
00:08:55.760
that sort of thing, should people call police on their neighbours?
00:08:59.160
In terms of people calling to snitch, to inform, look, we all have a personal responsibility.
00:09:08.800
If it means saving lives, then I think we have to think about what your social responsibilities are
00:09:15.520
as an individual to make sure that you don't empower other people and invite a whole bunch of individuals to your home.
00:09:24.260
Yeah, I'm sorry, that's a police state, but in English, instead of German or Persian or Chinese,
00:09:29.660
snitch on your neighbours. Police pulling you over for any reason or no reason.
00:09:34.540
Police coming to your place of work. This is your final warning.
00:09:38.380
That loser, Monty McNaughton, so, so gross. They have to lose. They have to be repudiated.
00:09:46.060
They have to be discarded. They have cancelled themselves out. For us to support them in any way is to dirty ourselves.
00:09:53.860
It was such an overreach that immediately police forces felt they had to distance themselves from him.
00:09:59.060
Andrew Lawton compiled a list. More than 30 Ontario police departments said they simply would not enforce those authoritarian rules,
00:10:05.900
which is good. But really, we've already seen what those same police forces have done before the latest version of the rules.
00:10:13.580
That's what Toronto's police did to a little barbecue restaurant that didn't lock its doors.
00:10:31.260
Shame! Shame! Shame on you, brother! Shame on you, brother!
00:10:36.940
100 riot police, and that was before this police state announcement.
00:10:41.580
This was the same Toronto service attacking our reporters.
00:11:46.360
So, yeah, I'm really grateful that Ontario's police won't listen to their out-of-control premier,
00:11:54.020
And a year into this, no one has corrected them.
00:12:01.220
I see that a single member of the Ontario caucus that follows Ford,
00:12:05.940
that an MPP named Christina Midas has issued a mild statement expressing some discomfort
00:12:19.220
but isn't it more than 99.9% of all so-called conservative politicians across this country have done?
00:12:26.680
Certainly more than the coward of the prairies, Dane Lloyd, has done.
00:12:30.720
Christina Midas sent a letter to her fellow conservative MPPs and leaked it to the media.
00:12:40.500
She indicates that she fought against these rules within the caucus.
00:12:43.760
She points out that these rules were universally rejected by the public and police forces.
00:12:48.440
She questions the bans on outdoor exercise, which, of course, has no scientific basis.
00:12:56.280
And she ends by, quote, strongly urging the province to reverse course.
00:12:59.840
It's been 48 hours since that email was released.
00:13:09.880
That's why they dissolve parliaments and crack down on reporters.
00:13:25.300
It's the cycle of life in a province of 14 and a half million people.
00:13:30.840
Out of those 300 people who die every day, 23 die from COVID.
00:13:35.580
That's nothing to celebrate, but it's not in the order of heart attacks or cancer or strokes.
00:13:42.580
There are overwhelmingly people who are very old and very sick.
00:13:46.240
I'm sorry they're dying, but it's not the riskiest thing in Ontario right now.
00:13:52.820
In the same source here, Ontario's own COVID stats, 90 days ago, the number of people dying
00:14:06.900
The number of people dying every day in Ontario is about a third of what it was back in January.
00:14:11.780
So why are they ramping up the lockdown extremism now?
00:14:16.420
They're literally setting up police checkpoints on the highways from Quebec and Manitoba as if
00:14:22.100
Oh, no such checkpoints at Roxham Road, I should let you know.
00:14:29.820
No one who does this deserves the name conservative.
00:14:32.160
And no one who is silent in the face of this deserves the name conservative either.
00:14:53.720
When we had pretty much done our work for the week and we put our Friday night show together.
00:14:58.620
But Ontario Premier Doug Ford had an emergency press conference.
00:15:02.520
It had been scheduled for several hours earlier, but obviously there was tremendous quarreling
00:15:07.580
within his disunited conservative party, which is to be expected given he is not particularly
00:15:18.100
I mean, people use those words too often, but this is one of the times that they really
00:15:24.140
I'd like to play for you a montage of some of the lowlights of that Friday press conference
00:15:30.360
by Ontario Premier Doug Ford and various members of his cabinet.
00:15:33.800
And I know not all of our viewers are in Ontario and not all are even in Canada, but this is
00:15:40.020
the mindset of not the conservative party or the labor party or the liberal party or any
00:15:44.680
particular party by name, but rather a party that I call the lockdown party that believes
00:15:50.780
in lockdownism and that whatever its name used to be, labor, definitely not for the working
00:15:59.540
Conservatives definitely don't believe in conserving things.
00:16:07.600
We have implemented the strictest measures in all of North America.
00:16:12.840
And the difficult truth is every public health measure we have left comes with a massive
00:16:24.060
But we have never shied away from doing what's necessary.
00:16:27.540
We have made the deliberate decision to temporarily enhance police officers' authority for the duration
00:16:35.960
Moving forward, police will have the authority to require any individual who is not in a place
00:16:41.860
of residence to first provide their purpose for not being at home and provide their home
00:16:48.600
Police will also have the authority to stop a vehicle to inquire about an individual's
00:16:56.680
And our inspectors will also be ensuring that those who absolutely must come to work
00:17:01.480
are strictly following the public health measures.
00:17:10.340
I'm wondering about these new police powers to just randomly stop someone walking down the
00:17:17.280
What happens if a person refuses to answer the police questions?
00:17:22.960
So by issuing these new additional enforcement measures, it allows police officers to ask
00:17:30.020
the person why they are not at their place of residence and what their place of residence is.
00:17:35.160
And specifically to your question, if you are not willing to comply, then you are breaking the law.
00:17:42.160
If someone sees their neighbours breaking these new regulations and having a party in their
00:17:50.640
yard, that sort of thing, should people call police on their neighbours?
00:17:54.320
In terms of people calling to snitch, to inform, look, we all have a personal responsibility.
00:18:04.060
If it means saving lives, then I think we have to think about what your social responsibilities
00:18:10.380
are as an individual to make sure that you don't empower other people and invite a whole
00:18:19.060
Those are excerpts from a disastrous press release, press conference, excuse me, on Friday
00:18:25.060
I think it was disastrous because I start with our freedoms as the default.
00:18:32.740
It was also disastrous in terms of how it was received.
00:18:35.420
For the first time, I can recall, members of the media were actually sceptical and critical.
00:18:44.960
I think a lot of people were caught by surprise with the warrantless search and seizure, the
00:18:51.360
police prowling the streets, stopping anyone without cause, demanding to see their papers,
00:18:56.920
demanding their names and addresses, demanding why they're going about their lives.
00:19:01.400
Because in quick succession, literally dozens of Ontario's police forces made it known that
00:19:08.060
they would not be complying with these requests.
00:19:11.660
The Peel Regional Police Association union boss, I think, was the most eloquent.
00:19:16.460
But a lot of police said the same, including some that don't really have a lot of credibility
00:19:21.860
I see that Toronto's police said they would not enforce it.
00:19:24.460
But of course, we know from firsthand observation, they have been amongst the most brutal enforcers
00:19:31.100
But even if these tweets in objection to Doug Ford were simply partisan virtue signaling, it
00:19:37.660
was at least nice to see them for what they were worth.
00:19:44.760
But the edicts were the edicts and the orders were the orders.
00:19:48.580
And there was a particularly brutal order affecting churches, limiting them to just 10 people in
00:19:54.860
the church, regardless of how large the building.
00:19:57.860
There are some mighty churches out there, some of them with the capacity of more than 1,000
00:20:03.860
If they're only allowed 10, unlike, say, a Walmart or a Costco that has a proportion of
00:20:11.960
Well, lucky for the church at Trinity Bible Chapel, they have the Justice Center for Constitutional
00:20:20.460
And they were actually in court on Friday, defending that church against another assault
00:20:25.760
on their freedoms by the lockdown government of Ontario.
00:20:28.060
Joining us now via Skype is our friend John Carpe, the president of the Justice Center for
00:20:35.060
You're one of the good guys out there fighting against lockdownism.
00:20:38.860
Tell me a little bit more about Trinity Bible Chapel.
00:20:41.860
They're one of these churches that, regardless of how large they are, they're only allowed 10
00:20:46.960
That's right, it's not a capacity limit, like 15% capacity or 50% capacity.
00:20:54.260
It's just on the number of people without regard to the size of the building.
00:20:59.960
And this is, the government has no evidence, the government has not brought forward any evidence
00:21:05.140
in court that these churches are responsible for the spread of COVID or loss of life.
00:21:14.540
And we're also going after the government for failing to produce evidence for its position
00:21:21.840
that healthy asymptomatic people are spreaders of the virus.
00:21:29.540
You know, this one church, it startles me, the insane obsession with churches.
00:21:35.840
I haven't seen any mosques or Sikh temples or Buddhist temples or Jewish synagogues attack with
00:21:43.140
the ferocity that I've seen Christian churches attack.
00:21:45.740
By the way, I don't want those other religious institutions to be attacked.
00:21:49.740
I'm just pointing out that it only seems to be Christian churches, whether it's the Grace
00:21:55.140
Life Church in the Edmonton area or the Trinity Bible Chapel in the Waterloo area.
00:22:00.040
Why do you think there's such a vigor with which the government pursues churches
00:22:07.340
as opposed to Walmarts and Costco's or even other religions and their churches and temples?
00:22:13.540
Well, I have my theories, but I'd like to hear yours because you're actually involved in so many of these legal cases.
00:22:19.340
This is part of the totalitarian spirit that, you know, nothing can be higher than the state.
00:22:27.740
And, you know, lockdownism, and I like your term, and I think it's apt and accurate and fairer to talk about lockdownism,
00:22:34.740
is an ideology that does not want people to look at an authority higher than government.
00:22:44.540
And we've seen that in communist Russia in the Soviet bloc for many decades, from 1917 all the way through to the early 1990s.
00:22:53.740
We've seen it in Franco Spain, Mussolini's Italy, Nazi Germany, Pol Pot's Cambodia, communist China.
00:23:01.140
Whenever you have a totalitarian ideology, the government can't stand anybody, be they Christian, Jewish, Muslim, whatever,
00:23:10.540
anybody that looks to an authority higher than the state.
00:23:15.440
So this is part of totalitarianism, is that you submit to the government.
00:23:20.800
The government holds out a great cause, and currently that cause is, you know, so-called saving lives,
00:23:28.780
which, of course, lockdowns don't do that, and the evidence is not there to support it.
00:23:35.780
Therefore, we're going to take away your freedom of association, your freedom of worship.
00:23:42.360
And one that's being particularly ruthlessly targeted is your freedom of peaceful assembly.
00:23:48.120
If there was ever a time when the charter freedom to assemble peacefully with other people,
00:23:52.900
to protest government oppression, if there was ever a time that was more important than right now,
00:24:00.020
Now is the time when we most need our charter freedom of peaceful assembly to protest peacefully
00:24:07.560
against these repressive and unjustified violations of our freedoms.
00:24:13.380
And now it's illegal to meet outdoors for a peaceful protest.
00:24:20.500
And again, there's no science to support the notion that COVID spreads outdoors.
00:24:25.260
The science tells us that COVID does not spread amongst healthy people.
00:24:30.320
So you've got a bunch of healthy people voluntarily meeting outdoors.
00:24:33.240
There's absolutely no medical or scientific reason whatsoever to prohibit peaceful outdoor assembly.
00:24:44.820
And I am appalled that these government officials still dare to talk about temporary measures,
00:24:56.180
If you believe this is temporary, you are naive.
00:25:02.740
And incredibly, in the Alberta case, I'm sort of mixing cases,
00:25:05.480
but you guys are involved in so many important ones, of the Grace Life Church.
00:25:10.020
The government there has been on the warpath against that church for months.
00:25:16.780
And yet they say, oh, we don't have our experts ready.
00:25:20.660
We can't submit to cross-examination on our science.
00:25:29.720
But I note in your press release, let me just put on the screen here, your latest press release.
00:25:34.900
It says, Justice Center successfully defends Ontario Church against government attempt to lock its doors.
00:25:42.080
Shows that they want to follow Alberta's bad example and lock down the church in Ontario the way Grace Life is.
00:25:48.120
But I'm heartened, let me read one paragraph from your press release.
00:25:53.380
Ontario's former chief medical officer of health, Dr. Richard Chabas,
00:25:57.500
who served as chief of staff at York Central Hospital during the 2003 SARS crisis,
00:26:05.040
And he will be providing expert testimony in support of your constitutional challenge.
00:26:15.120
Here's a real expert who's giving his medical opinion based on his central role in the SARS battle 20 years ago.
00:26:24.280
Well, the governments of Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, they hate medical and scientific evidence
00:26:31.220
because they've been getting away with, in the last 13 months,
00:26:34.420
you've got these softball questions from government-funded media
00:26:38.640
who are effectively cheerleaders for the lockdowns
00:26:42.400
and rarely will, you know, print or publish or broadcast anything that might challenge that narrative.
00:26:49.320
But now the governments have to actually produce evidence in court.
00:26:52.960
And in the trial of Pastor Coates taking place on May 5th,
00:26:56.720
you know, this trial is taking place 14 months into the violation of our charter freedoms.
00:27:03.780
And the Alberta government has stated publicly,
00:27:06.260
we don't have the medical and scientific evidence ready to present in court.
00:27:12.860
Because, you know, and I understand in litigation, okay,
00:27:16.040
you might need a week or two for something that's been going on for 13 months.
00:27:20.420
If these measures were based on science and based on medicine,
00:27:24.020
it should not take longer than a week or two weeks,
00:27:26.780
even three, four, five, six weeks to put the evidence together
00:27:32.640
and get your chief medical officer ready to be cross-examined.
00:27:36.440
And yet the government, they knew about this May 3rd trial,
00:27:42.360
So they had 10 weeks notice that this was going to trial,
00:27:45.880
that they would need to produce the medical and scientific evidence in court.
00:27:49.900
And they went to court and they successfully got an order
00:27:54.000
that they can delay until July, which would be March, April, May, June, July.
00:28:02.720
the government needs 16 months to get its medical and scientific evidence together
00:28:06.240
after violating our charter freedoms for over a year.
00:28:09.980
And any fair-minded person should be able to look at this
00:28:13.360
and see that the medical and scientific evidence just isn't there.
00:28:18.600
Because if it was, why would you have governments running scared
00:28:24.440
Yeah, I'm disappointed that the judge gave them that extension.
00:28:30.740
In fact, my recall of the charter and the onus and the Oaks test,
00:28:37.040
as it's called to test the constitutionality of infringements like this,
00:28:42.520
the onus is on the government to prove you can't have the freedom.
00:28:45.420
It's not on you to prove you can have the freedom.
00:28:47.920
And I'm disappointed that the judge let them get away with it.
00:28:51.460
I'm disappointed that the media in the main is fine with this war on churches.
00:28:59.460
because most churches in Canada are either silent as mice
00:29:07.500
I saw a gross press release from Knox United Church
00:29:10.080
cheering the police expropriation of Grace Life Church up in Edmonton.
00:29:16.300
Our reporter, Sheila Gunn-Reed, was actually embedded with the church.
00:29:21.040
They had a secret underground church meeting yesterday.
00:29:30.100
That is the stuff of communist China that's happening in Canada.
00:29:34.140
Not a word from law professors, lawyers, judges, the media,
00:29:39.240
other church leaders, so-called free speech civil liberties groups on the left.
00:29:45.740
let alone from so-called conservative politicians
00:29:49.900
I find it is a total failure of the establishment, John.
00:29:59.660
I was queried last week by some mainstream media reporter
00:30:07.020
and shame on any church that would dare to not comply.
00:30:10.220
It's not compassionate to throw people into unemployment and poverty and misery.
00:30:17.860
It's not compassionate to take away people's lives and livelihoods.
00:30:22.920
It's not compassionate to destroy the life savings that people have invested in their business.
00:30:29.140
And most lockdown advocates, there are some exceptions,
00:30:34.700
These are the university professors, the politicians, the teachers,
00:30:39.680
all these public sector workers who have had zero negative financial impact in the last 13 months.
00:30:46.980
And they are quite comfortably lecturing other people about compassion.
00:30:51.940
You know, if these, if part and parcel of the lockdowns 13 months ago
00:30:56.580
was to force every public sector worker, every teacher, every social worker,
00:31:01.040
every university professor, every politician to start living on $2,000 a month,
00:31:07.160
I don't think the lockdowns would have lasted longer than a week or two.
00:31:09.860
But you've got this public sector privilege that is driving this.
00:31:14.760
And there's a complete utter lack of compassion for people that have died
00:31:22.660
People who will die of cancer because the likes of Doug Ford and Jason Kenney
00:31:28.560
and the chief medical officers have cancelled the MRI and CT scans
00:31:33.340
that would have detected the cancer early enough.
00:31:36.060
It's not compassionate to cause people to die of cancer because of these ideological lockdowns.
00:31:43.860
And it is appalling that so many religious leaders are not just not opposing these lockdowns,
00:31:50.060
but in some cases they're cheering on the lockdowns.
00:31:56.780
Well, you mentioned the public sector privilege.
00:32:01.500
I would call those the high priests of lockdownism.
00:32:05.580
Those are the people who have newfound power, newfound fame, newfound respect.
00:32:11.640
People who 15 months ago were completely anonymous nobodies,
00:32:15.760
anonymous bureaucrats toiling away doing who knows what.
00:32:24.040
They've never had more power, fame, influence, control.
00:32:29.060
And they'll keep evolving their lockdownism to perpetuate it forever.
00:32:41.940
John, I'm so glad you're fighting hard for so many churches.
00:32:45.300
We represent a couple of churches, but I know you represent many cases across Canada.
00:32:50.000
And I would like to encourage our viewers, and I know so many of our viewers are your supporters,
00:32:56.120
but for those who haven't, to go to jccf.ca and make a contribution to support John's efforts.
00:33:10.040
John Carpe, he's the boss at the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom.
00:33:28.620
Deb Wilson says, is O'Toole perhaps getting some kind of deal to lose in the coming election?
00:33:35.280
I just caught out of the corner of my eye some pay-per-view fight between Jake Paul and Ben
00:33:40.840
Askren that was over so quickly, and this brute of a guy just went down like that, and then
00:33:47.260
he was smiling afterwards, and I thought, I wonder if he took the fall.
00:33:51.340
I wonder if he took some cash to take the fall.
00:33:59.040
I don't think Aaron O'Toole is taking the fall for money or a deal or a payoff.
00:34:05.160
I think he's just not a conservative, and I think he's got terrible advice.
00:34:15.380
I think he's just, you know, he wasn't the first choice under Harper.
00:34:22.820
He wasn't the first choice after Harper when Andrew Scheer won.
00:34:27.560
He's like, it's his turn, and he doesn't know what he's doing, and he's getting, you know,
00:34:32.940
his chief advisor was the same chief advisor for Patrick Brown, the disastrous temporary
00:34:40.240
So I don't think he's being paid to take the fall.
00:34:47.680
Loretta Herzog says, I never thought I would lose respect for police the way I have this
00:34:55.660
I feel the same way, and it is deeply painful to me.
00:34:59.500
I do not like to be on the other side from police, but I swear it's not me who moved.
00:35:06.500
Jared Thompson says, the rebel has been taking a lot of flack lately, even more than usual.
00:35:17.060
I feel like we're running 100% capacity all the time.
00:35:22.220
Like, the engines run a little hot, and we've got to maybe gear down a bit, park, change
00:35:27.000
the oil, you know, just take our foot off the gas a bit.
00:35:35.960
We have to defend ourselves for telling those stories.
00:35:40.780
Sometimes we get involved, as we do with the Fight the Fines project.
00:35:50.060
A year from now, two years from now, it's too late.
00:35:57.240
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, you at home,
