Transcript
00:00:00.000
Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, depending on which part of this beautiful
00:00:18.740
country that you're in, you're watching Rebel Roundup, our daily news and opinion show.
00:00:22.640
I'm your host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and I'm joined by my beautiful co-host in Regina, Saskatchewan.
00:00:30.000
Real life best friend, my partner in crime, Lise Merle.
00:00:34.320
Well, hello, my beloved Sheila Gunn-Reed, and hello, Rebel fam.
00:00:38.160
Sheila, I am so excited because we are going to be seeing you in two sleeps, in two sleeps.
00:00:49.460
Well, as many people in Western Canada know, our friends over there at the Sean Newman Podcast
00:00:54.660
are hosting an event in Calgary on Saturday called the Cornerstone Forum.
00:00:59.440
This is going to be an entire humongous ballroom filled with the best thinkers and the best,
00:01:06.600
And you know we're going to be having a lot of conversations that Doug Ford would frown upon.
00:01:11.140
But the Friday before, okay, this is in two sleeps from now, we at Rebel News and our friends
00:01:16.540
from the Sean Newman Podcast will be hosting a pre-game mixer at Two Rivers Distillery, okay,
00:01:21.940
the best little freedom-loving distillery in all of Calgary.
00:01:29.460
So if you're in the Calgary area, if you're going to the corner, especially if you're going
00:01:33.920
to the Cornerstone Forum, we would love to see you.
00:01:36.880
But even if you can't make the Cornerstone Forum and you just want to say, hey, come.
00:01:43.720
We would love to see you on Friday evening, 7 o'clock at Two Rivers Distillery in Calgary.
00:01:50.300
And the owner, Mark, I got to give a shout out to the owner, Mark.
00:01:53.440
You know when you get to talking with somebody, you think it's going to be a five-minute conversation.
00:02:08.620
He was from Ontario, went through Saskatchewan, now in Alberta.
00:02:13.800
And he runs this great little distillery that we're going to have a fantastic time at on Friday evening.
00:02:19.060
So, yes, if you can join us, dear viewers, we would love to see you.
00:02:23.700
Again, that's 7 o'clock on Friday evening at Two Rivers Distillery in Calgary.
00:02:30.040
Okay, I should tell everybody what we're doing today.
00:02:32.520
Now, if you're watching us on the wonderful free speech platform of YouTube.
00:02:47.620
We appreciate you and we appreciate you supporting a platform that cares about your human right to speak your own mind.
00:02:54.080
You can support the work that we do over there because, as you know, we'll never take a penny from any level of government to do the work that we do to hold governments to account.
00:03:05.860
If you'd like to leave us a Rumble rant, that's their paid chat over there.
00:03:15.300
Because if it's over the $5 U.S. cutoff, we're reading it on air.
00:03:19.300
If it's under that, we'll do our best to make time.
00:03:21.120
And if you tuned into the show yesterday, which is nearly two hours long, we make time.
00:03:27.520
And if you are watching us on the censorship-ish platform of YouTube, they're getting better.
00:03:40.940
So, if you would prefer to support our work by way of a super chat, you can do that.
00:03:48.840
Or if you're watching the recording of the show after the fact, you can leave us a super thanks.
00:04:07.520
I just filmed TGS, which is our internal lingo for The Gun Show, which airs on Wednesdays.
00:04:14.800
It sits behind the Rebel News Plus paywall, which is only $8 a month, by the way, which is like a coffee a week.
00:04:23.960
I get more use out of that $8, like on that little platform, than I do on all of the others combined.
00:04:34.080
If you're watching this show and you like it, ooh, you're just going to love it.
00:04:36.880
So, yeah, you get Ezra every night, you get me every Wednesday, and a bunch of our premium content, like our documentaries hiding behind there.
00:04:54.480
So if you need a free version of this, we always put the audio up for free on a podcast.
00:05:00.560
Oh, yeah, that's convenient for all the guys in tractor jail right now.
00:05:12.760
All the audio is free, although my expressions are much better on video.
00:05:18.720
But anyways, today I interviewed Michael Wagner, who is a historian of Western separatism.
00:05:25.020
He's got two books, and he sort of talks about how it ebbs and flows, where this started, why this is a creation of liberal governments.
00:05:32.300
And not even a – it's a reaction to things the liberals have done to us.
00:05:36.700
They are responsible for this and why this time is different.
00:05:45.320
And if you watch the show, you'll find out how to buy his books.
00:05:53.620
But anyway, yesterday the premier held a press conference further to her address to Albertans the night before where the jackals in the mainstream media, in the legislature press gallery in Edmonton, did their thing and asked – I mean, just really pressed her on this issue.
00:06:14.200
Like, basically, how dare you allow Albertans to have their own say in their future?
00:06:20.840
She outlined the province's new Alberta Accord initiative, which seeks to address critical economic reforms with the federal government.
00:06:30.440
So this is her – like, they're accusing her of being a separatist.
00:06:34.140
But she's like, no, I'm going to fight with the federal government from within Canada.
00:06:40.040
And the mainstream media is like, but you're a separatist.
00:06:48.100
Yesterday, I shared the bold steps that our government is taking to protect and stand up for Alberta's future with strength and resolve.
00:06:56.060
And this includes the creation of a special negotiating team to represent our province in negotiations with the federal government in pursuit of a new Alberta Accord with Canada.
00:07:05.460
This team will request reforms to guarantee port access to tidewater off the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic coasts for Alberta energy and resources,
00:07:14.780
and all federal interference in the development of our provincial resources by repealing harmful federal laws like the No More Pipelines Law C-69 and the Net Zero Electricity Regulations,
00:07:26.040
require Alberta's consent before imposing any export taxes or restrictions on our resources,
00:07:31.480
and to grant Alberta the same per capita federal transfers as Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia.
00:07:38.460
We are also launching the Alberta Next panel to explore long-term options for economic and constitutional protections from Ottawa.
00:07:46.420
And we are preparing for a 2026 referendum on key proposals that emerge from these discussions.
00:07:52.300
As most Albertans know, I have repeatedly stated I do not support Alberta separating from Canada.
00:07:58.160
I personally still have hope that there is a path forward for a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada.
00:08:03.700
So I am going to do everything within my power to negotiate a fair deal for Alberta with the new Prime Minister.
00:08:09.060
And while doing so, our government will work with Albertans on various initiatives to better protect Alberta's provincial sovereignty and economy from Ottawa,
00:08:17.620
should those negotiations fail and the economic attacks continue.
00:08:22.300
Well, Ottawa has a ticking clock now, don't they?
00:08:28.360
Before 2026, they must make sure that Alberta has access to tidewater repeal, damaging laws to our economy,
00:08:36.320
give Alberta consent, and re-evaluate equalization payments across the country.
00:08:41.160
And what we don't hear the government or Mark Carney saying is that he is going to do any of these things.
00:08:47.960
We have no assurances so far that the federal government is taking this seriously from Danielle Smith.
00:08:55.760
As a matter of fact, I think that they've communicated the opposite, that this is a frivolous or non-serious movement or woman that they're dealing with.
00:09:05.820
And I think that that's going to come back to bite them in the butt.
00:09:11.780
Again, I was talking to Michael about this on the gun show this week.
00:09:15.820
And he said, yeah, the ball right now is in the federal government's court.
00:09:21.160
Danielle Smith has laid out her list of demands.
00:09:25.400
In fact, they are saying, give us back the things which are constitutionally within Alberta's purview.
00:09:37.720
We're asking you to stay the heck in your lane so that we can do what we need to do to bring Alberta forward,
00:09:45.000
but also to bring the rest of you along with us because a rising tide floats all boats.
00:09:49.560
And also, we're not asking for anything special that Quebec ain't getting.
00:09:55.580
Like Quebec right now, according to Mark Carney and I guess the political leadership in Quebec,
00:10:01.180
they have a veto over what we can and can't do in Alberta.
00:10:09.940
If the feds want separatism to go away, and I'm not sure they do, actually,
00:10:16.340
because if I were a liberal, I would be like, yeah, if we could get rid of Alberta and Saskatchewan,
00:10:20.540
we would just be liberal forever, and that seems to be okay with these people.
00:10:25.900
But if they wanted it to go away, they would deal with these issues right now
00:10:29.520
because there are still a lot of people in Daniel Smith's mindset
00:10:37.240
who aren't quite yet willing to go the full, like, yes, it's time to go.
00:10:42.280
There are people who are saying, okay, we've done this, we've tried several times,
00:10:47.440
but this, we have Daniel Smith, who is different than the premiers before.
00:10:55.480
If the feds ignore her on this, it's going to be like separatism, like crazy.
00:11:03.160
Danielle Smith is the game changer in this moment
00:11:06.720
because she's shown herself to be absolutely committed to listening to the people of Alberta
00:11:12.360
and putting her trust in them to make the right decisions on their own behalf.
00:11:18.880
And I think that the elite Eastern or Ottawa-centric authoritarian government
00:11:27.740
is not taking her as seriously as they perhaps should in this moment,
00:11:32.920
but for sure she is the thing that makes this movement feel different.
00:11:38.840
We've seen Danielle Smith move mountains in minutes.
00:11:44.700
She doesn't let the naysayers tell her what to do.
00:11:49.640
This is kind of the difference that Alberta and Saskatchewan have in this moment
00:11:55.320
is that the Saskatchewan NDP is very, very much running the narrative
00:11:58.580
and we need to be, as a government of Saskatchewan, way, way out in front of this
00:12:06.220
Because let's not forget, Saskatchewan's ability to negotiate will be so much stronger
00:12:11.760
if we're working at the same time and at the same clip as Alberta.
00:12:19.860
So I think we're going to talk about Saskatchewan a little bit later.
00:12:22.620
But what Danielle Smith is doing is a masterclass on how to make this work.
00:12:30.000
2026 is the firm deadline for the government of Canada to make things right
00:12:37.500
And if they don't, well, then the people of Western Canada are going to have a say
00:12:46.960
I just was looking up some numbers about BC, which sort of surprised me yesterday.
00:12:52.440
Friends, if you're watching, Sid Fizard has an interesting interview with Dallas Brody.
00:12:59.240
She's one of the independent conservative BC MLAs.
00:13:05.520
But in January, so this is before the election just now.
00:13:15.360
So take that with what you will, because we saw it go up in BC, which is largely conservative,
00:13:24.760
but controlled by Vancouver, by the crazy people in Vancouver.
00:13:32.660
If you look at the map, it's very conservative.
00:13:34.640
In fact, big strides made by the conservative movement on Vancouver Island, of all places.
00:13:39.620
And I think those, on the other hand, I think those Vancouver Island live and let live hippies
00:13:45.220
were weaponized towards conservatism by COVID, where they're like, actually, no, we don't
00:13:51.540
And we're like, you like big pharma living off the land?
00:13:56.180
And so, anyway, one in four British Columbia residents think it should be BC first.
00:14:09.360
I bet you that's closer to Alberta numbers now.
00:14:12.100
So, interior of BC, they vote as reliably conservative as the rest of us, and we mustn't
00:14:21.360
Any separatist movement should not leave them behind.
00:14:24.000
And we get so many comments on the YouTube and Rumble comment threads about people from
00:14:35.480
I'm old enough to remember, I'm old enough to remember very recently when Fort St. John
00:14:43.420
Like, the Peace River region should be united under the Alberta flag.
00:14:49.120
I'm not sure why you'd want to be part of BC when you're governed by the lunatics in Vancouver.
00:14:57.800
And the Peace region sort of operates as one region.
00:15:09.380
Sort of the HQ of the Peace region is kind of Grand Prairie, Alberta.
00:15:21.880
Of just being out, wandering in the wilderness without representation.
00:15:29.380
Like, get yourselves organized and get on board because our ability to negotiate will
00:15:41.720
Because the NDP politicians across the prairies are quite frightened.
00:15:48.620
Because Naheed Nenshi, you can tell he's scared.
00:15:51.040
And I hope he is the leader of the stay movement.
00:16:05.360
The NDP, which are, like I said, reduced to a party that can cart themselves around in
00:16:14.320
Premier Smith warns Albertans not to be divided by external forces while separation sentiment
00:16:23.260
I think it's more so who and what we are on the prairies is that we can disagree with
00:16:29.520
each other and not think that we are both evil and wrong.
00:16:33.340
And that has not been the case by progressive politicians with whom we disagree.
00:16:39.500
Justin Trudeau wondering if there should even be space in society for us, calling us all
00:16:45.620
And Naheed Nenshi calling people all kinds of names from time to time.
00:16:52.640
But this is a difficult discussion about the future of our province, either with or without
00:17:01.620
And we should be able to have it without our society unraveling.
00:17:08.180
In the months ahead, there will be many who will try to sow fear and anger among us, those
00:17:15.820
Regardless of what each of us believes about this issue and what path we think is best,
00:17:20.640
we as Albertans must be able to respectfully debate and discuss these issues with our
00:17:27.360
I know that if we do that, in the end, our province will find the best solution for this
00:17:31.260
immense challenge we face and come out of it stronger and more free than ever.
00:17:38.080
Yeah, calling for respectful debate, whereas the left is calling.
00:17:42.620
Right now in Saskatchewan, Carla Beck and the Saskatchewan NDP are tabling or are putting
00:17:48.220
forward actual proposed legislation to stop debate.
00:18:01.540
Saskatchewan NDP wants to censor separatist petition.
00:18:04.960
So what they're calling for, so United Grassroots is a citizen-led group of people in Saskatchewan.
00:18:14.460
They've collected thousands of signatures to call on Scott Moe to hold a referendum, I think,
00:18:23.820
And the Saskatchewan NDP are putting forward a piece of proposed legislation to actually
00:18:32.780
So what kind, like, let me just ask you this, guys.
00:18:35.560
What kind of Beijing-style communist tyranny are we talking about here?
00:18:42.500
They want to make it unlawful for normal, everyday, regular Saskies to have these conversations,
00:18:51.520
to accelerate these kind of citizen-led initiatives.
00:19:00.540
To stifle the voices of the people of Saskatchewan, did we dodge a bullet, Saskatchewan?
00:19:05.320
We were within a hair's width of having this lunatic, Carla Beck of the Saskatchewan NDP,
00:19:17.300
She would make it unlawful for us to talk about these things, let alone act on them.
00:19:32.140
And she married into a very freedom-minded family, I'll tell you that much.
00:19:40.400
Her father-in-law went to jail for the right to sell his own grain to whomever he so pleases.
00:19:46.700
And then in doing so, in doing so, set the rest of us free.
00:19:50.760
He was pardoned by Stephen Harper for the crime under the export laws, which wasn't a crime,
00:20:03.620
They sold some wheat to a 4-H group in Montana to prove a point.
00:20:13.900
They literally carried a bag of grain and sold it over the border.
00:20:19.560
And that started the breakdown of the wheat pools.
00:20:28.260
So freeing farmers and enabled them to be able to sell their own product for the best price.
00:20:37.280
So yeah, she comes from a really, really great family.
00:20:47.360
Jim went to jail for my family so that my family didn't have to.
00:20:56.120
And he was pardoned by Stephen Harper and thrown in jail by Ralph Goodale, actually, at the time.
00:21:04.300
Yeah, I remember those rallies and the images of the farmers being taken away in handcuffs.
00:21:15.540
That is one of the reasons I'm weaponized against the liberals.
00:21:31.560
You know, what do they think elections are about?
00:21:34.020
And by the way, you literally have your version of a citizen-led initiative on the books in Saskatchewan.
00:21:52.460
So if you're from Saskatchewan and you're seeing this, Unified Grassroots was sort of born in the terrible dark days of COVID.
00:22:03.060
They've been really, really strong on citizen-led initiatives and sort of pulling together pressure campaigns for our government.
00:22:15.320
It's great to have a group pulling from the right because all the forces of the universe are pulling these guys to the left.
00:22:24.460
So if you're seeing this, go to the Unified Grassroots website and put your name on that petition because somebody has got to lead this up.
00:22:32.860
So Nadine Ness says here, this is Saskatchewan's version of what the Alberta Prosperity Project is doing to fight independence, fight for independence in Alberta.
00:22:42.720
While our avenue in Saskatchewan is a bit different because our laws are a little bit different.
00:22:48.020
We have a higher bar to jump over than Alberta does just simply because of what Danielle Smith did real recently.
00:22:57.360
If you're from Saskatchewan, please consider registering and their website is unifiedgrassroots.com.
00:23:05.240
And the left is absolutely losing their mind over this.
00:23:10.320
How dare, how dare, how dare a Saskatchewan woman like Nadine Ness feel like she could talk to her own government?
00:23:20.140
I mean, these leftist lunatics are showing their tyrannical stripes in this moment and they should be shamed into oblivion for this.
00:23:29.600
These outrageous things the left is saying about Nadine.
00:23:44.920
And she's really dedicated to seeing these issues through.
00:23:49.620
It is in no small part because of Nadine's hustling through COVID that we saw the end to crazy mandates in Saskatchewan.
00:23:55.940
But here's the thing, the left knows this and they know that she can be dangerous in pulling people to the side of, well, the normal people of Saskatchewan.
00:24:11.840
They know, the left knows that Nadine Ness can pull the government to the side of the people of Saskatchewan.
00:24:27.400
Whatever the outcome is, why not let the people of Saskatchewan decide instead of Carla Beck, leader of the NDP?
00:24:36.200
Why does she get a louder voice than the regular people of Saskatchewan?
00:24:42.380
Let's go to, while we're on the topic of the NDP being censorious losers, we've got one in Alberta, Nahid Nenshi.
00:24:55.520
There's a reason why the fundraising for the NDP in Alberta has completely collapsed.
00:25:00.920
And they are doing, by the way, their very best distance themselves from Jagmeet Singh.
00:25:05.020
They, I think at their last AGM, at their last AGM, because if you are a provincial NDP member, like a member of the provincial NDP parties across the country.
00:25:19.380
And so they're like, maybe we shouldn't do that.
00:25:25.840
But, and now, oh God, he's so hard to, this honestly should be our daily dose of cringe, the daily cringe.
00:25:36.000
Because there's something about how he talks that is insufferable.
00:25:41.180
But Nahid Nenshi says, being a proud Albertan means being a proud Canadian.
00:25:46.880
We will not let Daniel Smith take that away from us.
00:25:51.680
She's going to give the opportunity for me to take it away from you.
00:26:02.800
Now, I, the one thing I will give him credit for is his commitment to a cutesy URL.
00:26:11.540
Visit separatistsmith.ca and join the thousands of Albertans who are standing up for Canada.
00:26:19.320
Imagine in this time in Alberta, positioning yourself on the side of Ottawa and not Alberta.
00:26:28.080
But you've just imagined yourself to be this dude.
00:26:38.340
And it's so funny because, because if you listen to normal, everyday, regular people in Western
00:26:44.200
Canada, they do not identify as Canadian first.
00:26:49.060
They identify as Albertans or Saskies first and Canadian way, way far down that line.
00:26:55.860
So this is, this is great that Nahid, maybe Nahid Nenshi learned from Rebel about a cute
00:27:08.840
A lot of people are like, I wish she was a separatist.
00:27:12.900
Like, I feel like the NDP are threatening her, threatening everybody with a good time.
00:27:17.680
But let's listen to his, there's something about his voice too, that has the same Justin
00:27:24.020
Like, I feel like somebody's licking the inside of my ear.
00:27:31.440
The very sovereignty of this great nation is under threat from the outside.
00:27:34.560
And we have a premier who is threatening this nation from the inside.
00:27:39.200
Smith has spent years pushing policies and ideas that would rip Alberta out of Canada
00:27:44.680
She's endorsed the so-called Free Alberta Strategy.
00:27:51.580
She's trying to pull Albertans out of the Canada pension plan.
00:27:54.680
She remains one of the only premiers who will not sign agreements with the federal government
00:27:58.760
on things that matter to Albertans, that matter to their pocketbooks every day.
00:28:01.840
Like childcare and pharmacare and dental care, being a proud Albertan means being a proud
00:28:06.780
Canadian, and we will not allow Danielle Smith to take that away from us.
00:28:11.080
Visit separatistsmith.ca, sign the petition, add your name to the list of people of Albertans
00:28:20.240
We believe in Alberta, we believe in Canada, and we're not going anywhere.
00:28:26.640
By the way, when he talks about the Sovereignty Act, he forgets to tell you the second part
00:28:34.080
So the Sovereignty Act is Alberta's Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act.
00:28:49.180
But when he talks about Danielle Smith not, you know, not working with the federal government
00:28:56.620
on all of their bad ideas that cost us all so much in taxpayer dollars, I mean, what is
00:29:05.980
not to love about what she's doing for Albertans right now?
00:29:09.460
What is not to love that she's pushing back against an abusive-
00:29:16.760
Oh, they worked hard to make that look ominous, didn't they?
00:29:27.780
She's not supposed to be like Doug Ford on the Team Canada train.
00:29:38.960
Yeah, and he talks about a proud history of freedom-loving Canadians who know we're not
00:29:48.140
You are the last people who should be talking about how we're a bunch of freedom-minded people.
00:29:54.320
You were the ones who were mad because we weren't locked up in our homes long enough by
00:30:02.400
I remember Rachel Notley saying that, you know, the hammer's got to be dropped on Grace
00:30:09.200
Life Church, and sure as heck, they took the pastor away, James Coates, for 30 days in jail.
00:30:16.240
You know, these are the people who are not fighting back on censorship legislation.
00:30:21.680
They didn't complain when our sex and sex charter rights were violated by travel restrictions
00:30:27.560
during COVID or our freedom to gather to protest the government.
00:30:32.400
So, and successive gun grabs of the federal government, which are our attack on our property
00:30:39.540
rights, like, the NDP are like, yeah, do that, do that more, do it harder to Albertans.
00:30:44.940
So, for these guys to say, like, we're the ones protecting the freedom-minded ethos of Albertans,
00:30:52.140
Yeah, and saying that she doesn't support federal initiatives like $10 a day daycare.
00:30:58.940
Well, no, it's almost like Danielle Smith knows that couples raising their own children and
00:31:05.780
creating an economy where moms could perhaps, ooh, I don't know, stay home and raise their
00:31:12.760
own children is a better idea than shoveling six-month-olds into, you know, federally funded
00:31:26.300
Like, Auntie Danielle knows what's best for the baby.
00:31:29.820
So, to attack her on these things, oh, well, she refuses to cooperate or she's, you know,
00:31:37.780
She picks fights with the federal government so that they will stop interfering in the lives
00:31:48.280
Like, don't invite us to rumble behind the garbage cans and then get mad when we show
00:31:56.800
That's a man that's never been in a fistfight right there.
00:32:00.680
Kat, we've got some chats and we'll hit an ad break and then we'll come back into, I guess,
00:32:10.400
Uh, because now Carney's leaning into like a, I'm an Alberta boy.
00:32:17.840
Then why are you writing op-eds in the Globe and Mail as a resident of Ottawa, as an Ottawa
00:32:25.580
Kat Bark 68 gives us 10 bucks and says, hello, you wonderful lady.
00:32:30.020
Sheila, could you please give me your thoughts on the Alberta Republicans?
00:32:35.020
Look, we're going to see a lot of these groups pop up.
00:32:38.860
I don't know which ones are going to have lasting power or not.
00:32:44.680
Um, I don't think this whole thing is going to be led by a political party.
00:32:48.880
I think it'll be a grassroots movement of people.
00:32:51.600
Um, and I am just learning about the Republicans the same way you are.
00:32:57.120
So instead of listening to the mainstream media about how, uh, what a bunch of kooks they
00:33:02.160
are radicals or whatever, I am waiting to see what they do next.
00:33:06.600
Um, and I'm going to learn about them with an open mind and I hope you do too.
00:33:20.940
Do you think any politician will repeal hate speech laws?
00:33:24.080
Uh, also would rebel ever do a comprehensive audit of all the money spent on and given
00:33:33.640
Uh, the hate speech legislation was actually, uh, repealed at least as section 13 by the
00:33:42.820
conservatives, uh, thanks to my boss, Ezra Levant.
00:33:47.180
Um, and exposing just how bad it was, how it was being used to censor reasonable conversations
00:33:58.300
Now, I don't think this liberal government is going to stop labeling everything they don't
00:34:06.980
In fact, they're already musing about reintroducing a version of the online harms act, which died
00:34:14.140
when they prorogued parliament, uh, because we saw Mark Carney complaining about the rush
00:34:20.500
of online pollution from the United States, not, you know, the foreign interference from
00:34:26.540
China being dumped onto WeChat going after conservative candidates, but rather the Americans
00:34:33.280
making fun of Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney online.
00:34:38.880
So, um, I don't think we're, as long as the liberals are in power, I don't think speech
00:34:43.560
is going to get any freer, um, comprehensive audit of all the money spent on and given
00:34:52.100
Uh, because the, one of the first acts of the Justin Trudeau government was to repeal,
00:35:03.640
uh, a piece of legislation, the Harper government brought in, which required financial accountability
00:35:13.360
And so now you can't really see where the money's going, who's getting it all or, or anything
00:35:27.140
Um, no accountability, no oversight, no ability to search.
00:35:35.060
And I forget, I think it was foam Lake actually, if I have to recall the Canadian taxpayers federation
00:35:45.240
There was a lady who lived, I think it was on foam Lake or duck Lake, uh, forgive me.
00:35:53.240
Um, but she was basically, it was in Saskatchewan and she complained about the lack of financial
00:36:02.480
She looked around and said, I'm pretty sure we're getting a ton of money.
00:36:12.580
Then she faces like social and financial ramifications from the band.
00:36:19.840
Uh, you know, like, cause the band does control housing.
00:36:23.460
And then all of a sudden you go from an okay house to squalor.
00:36:30.380
The Harper government really paid attention to it and said, yeah, our first nations people
00:36:38.960
The same way if I want to go look and see what they're doing down at Lamont city hall.
00:36:46.980
I think the mayor there used to make about $7,300 a year and on first nations reserves,
00:36:52.500
frequently their chiefs make more than the prime minister.
00:36:57.420
So, uh, and then we saw the scandal at, at a Wapiskat, which was in Charlie Angus's writing
00:37:04.460
where chief Teresa Spence, um, and her boyfriend at the time, uh, were accused of financial
00:37:15.860
Once again, the houses were in squalor and she seemed to be doing pretty good.
00:37:19.360
And then, uh, when, uh, an audit was ordered, she decided to go on a hunger strike in Ottawa,
00:37:32.720
I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to eat nothing but fish.
00:37:37.260
I called her chief chicken noodle, the first person ever on a hunger strike who didn't lose
00:37:46.660
She was going to, uh, you know, a comfortable hotel room every single night.
00:37:52.200
Justin show, by the way, went there and met with her.
00:37:55.260
He would meet with the chief who enriched her family and friends while her people did without,
00:38:03.780
And this is, and this is such a persistent argument from people who live on reserves is
00:38:17.140
And this, this will come up, I think again, a little bit later in the show when we talk
00:38:20.620
about, uh, what's happening in Alberta with some of the chiefs, I think.
00:38:25.300
I mean, just everybody deserves to know what their leaders are doing with their money.
00:38:40.000
It's Canadian taxpayers should have that right to see where their money is going.
00:38:47.680
Your level of accountability from your elected municipal government should not fall down on
00:38:58.200
Indigenous people deserve to know what's being done with the money that's meant to help them.
00:39:04.740
And nobody else can do the work for them either.
00:39:07.680
It's almost like it's corrupt right from the top, just like everything else the liberals
00:39:17.000
If APP can convince the First Nations, then the mainstream media are going to start name
00:39:22.800
Fear is rampant and strong, but Canada is starving for hope.
00:39:40.040
I think we'll take an ad break and we'll come back to Carney.
00:39:49.680
And that is why we at Rebel News have teamed up with MCGA hats to introduce, well, the fashion
00:40:01.480
Oh, and by the way, these beautiful hats, they are made in Canada.
00:40:06.180
We don't rely on cheap imports coming over from China.
00:40:15.120
This is the perfect thing for a patriot to wear.
00:40:18.340
Or maybe there's a patriot in your life that you would like to gift such a hat.
00:40:34.860
Let everybody know you want to make Canada great again.
00:40:40.740
What if governments are trying to reinvent the wheel when the greatest teacher of all
00:40:45.920
times has already laid out the perfect blueprint for a constitution for a kingdom of love, faith
00:40:54.940
Introducing the Kingdom of Heaven Freedom Passport.
00:40:58.480
This special edition Freedom Passport captures the foundational truths of love, ethics and
00:41:05.680
It's a powerful reminder of Jesus' call to love one another and to be part of something

And spread the love with your family and friends.

00:41:25.100
And right now, all orders in North America come with free shipping and a free downloadable
00:41:35.040
So I know yesterday we talked in depth about Carney's, I don't know what it was.
00:41:41.600
It was like a public torture session for Mark Carney.
00:41:57.220
And Trump basically said, look, look at my nice stuff.
00:42:05.160
And, and also told him you're elected because of me, basically telling him, I own you now
00:42:15.020
I think that's what was the unwritten thing there or the unspoken thing.
00:42:21.580
But Carney was because the separatism thing is, it's not even the elephant in the room.
00:42:29.120
It's the herd of elephants galloping, trotting, frolicking in the field on that.
00:42:36.100
And when Trump is talking about 51st state, 51st state, naturally Carney was asked about
00:42:52.040
Parlant de l'Alberta, que pensez-vous de l'idée de Daniel Snit d'encourager la tenue d'un
00:42:57.100
référendum sur la souveraineté de l'Alberta?
00:42:59.840
Le Canada, le Canada est plus fort que quand nous travaillons ensemble comme Canadiens
00:43:07.820
et Canadiens et je suis Albertan et je crois fièrement en Canada.
00:43:18.200
Anyways, I don't know if you heard him say that.
00:43:21.040
Yeah, I think the question was, what do you think about Alberta and this separation?
00:43:42.680
You weren't born here, you lived here for a bit, and then you left the way you should
00:43:52.440
Collected fancy passports from around the world, branched out, did all of your work
00:43:59.920
for Goldman Sachs, and you got your fancy degrees, and you haven't been an Albertan
00:44:07.140
There is no worse representation than an evildoing global banker in bed with the WEF and the Liberal
00:44:18.160
There is nobody that is less Albertan than that man right there.
00:44:21.960
And to say that they're, like, I think he says later that he, you know, that they're
00:44:27.040
not going to, that he's not going to, well, he did when he talked to Trump, that Canada
00:44:32.520
He's basically telling Western Canadians that he's not open to hearing from us.
00:44:38.480
So that means, you know what we have to do, guys?
00:44:43.400
To make it crystal clear what we're after at this point.
00:44:47.300
But yeah, putting his head in the sand and saying, it doesn't exist, it'll never happen.
00:44:56.020
That's how I know you're not an Albertan, is if you don't think that Western separation
00:45:03.540
Sometimes it comes to the foreground, as it is now, but it is always sort of just percolating
00:45:08.960
under the surface, waiting to explode, like some sort of geyser in Yellowstone National
00:45:21.180
But I think it's not going to recede the way everybody is thinking so this time.
00:45:27.700
Yeah, wearing an Oilers jersey or cheering for the Oilers doesn't necessarily make you an Albertan.
00:45:34.800
Like, if that's what passes for it in Carney's mind, I guess.
00:45:42.140
Someone should tell Julia Wong to look inside yourself, Julia, because the government waste
00:45:57.420
Premier, and we talked about it briefly yesterday because Alexa interviewed that guy in Ottawa
00:46:07.880
Where the government waste lives, he's like, yeah, that Alberta lady's wasting all kinds
00:46:12.660
By the way, I think a round-trip flight to Florida is like, if you're buying it on short
00:46:29.120
Like, trips to Disneyland for a family of four cost more.
00:46:36.820
$10,000 is one-fifth the price of one month of alcohol in Melanie Jolie's foreign affairs
00:46:45.340
So, this is one-fifth Trudeau's annual bottled water, drink box water bottle sort of thing
00:46:56.700
But I think based on the return on investment, the ROI here is well worth it.
00:47:01.660
Because we got 10% of tariffs and the rest of you got 25.
00:47:09.260
So, she took, by the way, Rob Anderson, Jessica Pollack, and who's the other one?
00:47:15.780
So, our senior representative to the United States.
00:47:20.820
So, we took our, basically, our provincial ambassador and chief of staff at Rebecca Pollack.
00:47:25.920
So, now we got $8,000 in flights and $2,000 for accommodations and food and, and, and, yep,
00:47:38.380
I'm going to ask them to cost out my next family vacation.
00:47:49.500
But trust the end, trust the CBC to try and make a mountain out of a molehill.
00:47:58.200
Travel was billed at, this is, I, my, I play a little game with my kids, by the way.
00:48:03.140
Mom guessed the grocery bill and I can usually get it.
00:48:06.400
Although inflation took me a while to get back in the groove, I can usually get it within $3
00:48:15.740
And that comes with growing up poor and knowing where your money goes.
00:48:31.780
All four stayed at a Marriott, which is a nice sort of middle of the road kind of hotel.
00:48:38.860
Nice little, nice little continental breakfast down in the lobby in the morning.
00:48:52.840
Like, I don't, I don't, you know, okay, that's fine.
00:48:56.740
But again, the $1.4 billion CBC whose boss decided to go to the Olympics and then make us pay
00:49:10.200
for her French vacation at the same time and who are promised $150 million more to create content,
00:49:19.820
nobody cares about, are worried that the premier spent $10,000 to bring four people to Mar-a-Lago
00:49:30.540
on a mission to save us billions in tariffs and their outrage.
00:49:49.900
But, but I mean, when this is, when this is all you got, this is what you're going to
00:50:00.080
Why am I the one always filing for access records on the United Nations climate change
00:50:05.940
conferences and the costs it takes to bring people there?
00:50:09.040
It's never the CBC, but all of a sudden they turn into Scrooge McDuck, the penny pinch and
00:50:14.560
skin flint when Premier Smith goes to Mar-a-Lago.
00:50:18.680
They can't hide their hate for her or Trump, like in this stupid story.
00:50:36.100
Mark Carney appears flustered when asked, when specifically asked what he said to Trump about
00:50:49.040
I heard you say, you know, there's a difference between the president's comments around Canada
00:50:53.940
becoming a 51st state as a wish versus a reality.
00:51:00.180
But many Canadians are offended and deeply angered by the fact that he keeps repeating this
00:51:06.240
So have you asked the president to stop calling Canada the 51st state?
00:51:30.940
I would go back to showing the difference between a wish and a reality.
00:51:46.440
The president, he understands that we're having a negotiation between sovereign nations and
00:51:55.380
that we will only pursue and accept a deal that's in the best interest of Canada, not
00:52:02.680
just in the short term, but in the medium and long term for Canada.
00:52:05.440
So basically, he asked Trump to stop saying the thing that upsets all of the pearl clutters
00:52:16.100
in matching sweater sets, and Trump was like, no, no, I'm just going to keep saying it.
00:52:29.500
When Carney was having to sit there and listen to Trump badmouth Krista Freeland, and I thought,
00:52:45.360
Because there's really nothing Carney could do.
00:52:48.140
Now, if he had spoken up the way I believe a righteous man would have, should have,
00:52:54.180
uh, when a friend and ally is being called a horrible person.
00:53:00.100
Like, if somebody said those things about you, Lise, uh, actually, I think people would
00:53:05.240
know better than to say anything mean about you in front of me.
00:53:13.660
But, uh, this is Trump showing Carney who's boss.
00:53:19.240
Because Carney is having to sit there and listen while Trump is saying about Freeland,
00:53:28.260
Carney is entrusted with the welfare of Freeland's child.
00:53:37.840
That is somebody who's supposed to be like a pseudo parent ally to your family.
00:53:46.140
But I think the people who I chose to be the godparents of my children, uh, should something
00:53:51.140
ever happen to me, I trust them to raise them in the ways of Sheila, that they're, it's
00:53:56.220
not just a religious obligation for me, it is, but also a values obligation, right?
00:54:02.260
That they stand up for what's right and would never sit there and listen to somebody call
00:54:12.000
And anyways, I said, it was, it says a lot about the kind of man Carney is, but also Carney's
00:54:16.860
in a, between a rock and a hard place because, uh, you say something and JD Vance is going
00:54:31.600
It just, it just goes to show you how unprincipled he is and how he doesn't value the people
00:54:37.580
around him that Donald Trump just crap talked your godson's mother to your face.
00:54:45.660
And you didn't have a single thing to say about it.
00:54:59.220
I mean, I would not have brought her to my first meeting with Trump, given how much
00:55:03.940
given their history, but there wasn't even, you know, uh, him saying, you know, you know,
00:55:09.280
she works worth, works hard within our government, or we have a difference of opinions on
00:55:15.160
Christopher, but that's okay because we're friends moving forward.
00:55:19.640
He didn't, there were things that he could have said that didn't like just stand there
00:55:25.400
while Trump just drove over her a couple of times, but he didn't do anything.
00:55:38.300
He's willing to throw his, a very, very closest people under the bus to, to keep up the illusion
00:55:50.260
So maybe we'll just show like him saying, like, he's a horrible person.
00:55:55.340
Like, again, you don't want to pick a fight with Trump.
00:56:01.060
But if you were a smart politician and a principled man, there are ways to navigate this.
00:56:06.680
You could say, I realized that you have a strange relationship with Christian, but she works
00:56:11.260
hard for Canadians or something that, that would have shown that he was a man of loyalty
00:56:32.500
We have, the USMCA is a good deal for everybody.
00:56:34.440
Uh, I won't say this about Mark, but I didn't like his predecessor.
00:56:40.520
I didn't like a person that worked for, she was terrible, actually.
00:56:44.660
And she really hurt that deal very badly because she tried to take advantage of the deal and
00:56:53.580
But, uh, so, you know, I had a, we had a bad, we had a bad relationship having to do with
00:57:00.640
the fact that we disagreed with the way they viewed the deal and we ended it, you know,
00:57:04.840
we ended that, uh, that relationship pretty much.
00:57:08.800
Trudeau, when I spoke to him, I used to call him governor Trudeau.
00:57:11.420
I think that probably didn't help his election, but when I spoke.
00:57:16.380
But yeah, he, he didn't say a single thing, you know, when he's calling her a horrible person,
00:57:28.000
Like he's uncomfortable with what, what Donald Trump is saying, but he's also not refuting
00:57:33.440
He's also not refuting, didn't take the opportunity to refute it.
00:57:36.720
So, I mean, who, who needs, uh, who needs enemies when you got friends like that?
00:57:45.580
Look, and I don't, I don't spare any thoughts for her.
00:57:48.540
I think she deserves everything that she's got coming to her.
00:57:51.120
And I, I do definitely agree with Trump's assessment of her.
00:57:55.880
Um, but, uh, a good friend you got there, Christia.
00:58:01.020
I guess there, there is no honor among thieves.
00:58:04.900
Uh, now you don't need to do a good job in politics.
00:58:10.060
If you are a liberal, as long as you have the mainstream media on your side, because look
00:58:14.520
at what, uh, Le Journal de Montréal has on their front cover.
00:58:25.900
Did you, should people watch the same thing I did?
00:58:28.140
And as Esther points out, so he got the tariffs removed?
00:58:34.420
Trump, Trump literally said there's nothing he can do to sort of fix this for now.
00:58:38.900
He literally said there's nothing to negotiate.
00:58:45.060
And then I guess he showed him around the white house.
00:58:48.160
Like, here's my gold toilet and here's my gold Eagle.
00:58:51.840
And here's all the new, uh, I imagine their dog velvet paintings of dogs playing cards that
00:59:01.080
Um, showing him around, but, uh, like there's nothing, he's got his own, he's got his own
00:59:08.440
mugshot hanging in the white house right now, which I love.
00:59:14.000
He makes all of the dignitaries coming from other countries watch, walk right past his
00:59:19.920
And that tells them like nothing, nothing has stopped me.
00:59:25.000
So get ready to deal with this level of tenacity in the room.
00:59:30.760
I mean, so I'm Kearney keeps talking about how we're, these are negotiations between
00:59:41.440
So I guess if you made it out of there without being, uh, verbally, uh, dressed down by J.D.
00:59:52.240
Vance, I guess in the very, very low bar of Canadian media, I guess that's a win for Kearney.
01:00:11.400
Um, I'm, Mark Kearney says, I'm glad you couldn't tell what was going through my mind on what
01:00:17.880
he was thinking when President Trump referred to Canada's artificial border and criticized
01:00:24.940
Uh, you know, with, anyway, let's watch this and then I've got thoughts.
01:00:29.380
Good afternoon, Prime Minister Tonda McCharles, Toronto Star.
01:00:33.000
Um, I was watching your face through the meeting in the Oval Office and I wondered what was
01:00:38.840
going through your mind when the President talked about re-erasing the artificial border
01:00:42.980
and how he criticized your predecessor and Madam Freeland.
01:00:47.360
Uh, well, um, thank you for, I guess, for your question.
01:00:51.940
Um, I'm glad that you couldn't tell what was going through my mind, uh, as that was going
01:00:56.580
Look, the, um, with respect to, uh, the first, uh, point, um, the President has, uh, made known
01:01:05.140
his wish, uh, about that issue for, uh, for some time.
01:01:11.360
Uh, I've been careful always to, uh, distinguish between wish and reality.
01:01:15.740
I was clear there in the Oval Office, as I've been clear, uh, throughout, uh, on behalf of
01:01:25.240
Um, some things, as I said in the room, some things are never for sale, uh, and he agreed
01:01:31.540
Uh, so, um, I distinguish between the two and then with respect to, uh, the importance
01:01:38.300
of re-establishing a constructive relationship for negotiations of a, of a partnership, of
01:01:43.520
an economic and security partnership, which is what we were here for, um, I look for it,
01:01:49.280
not back, and, um, I think we established a good basis today.
01:02:02.300
I'm pretty sure he said, well, no, it's always, it's always on the table or I'm, or I'm not
01:02:11.100
What takes time is figuring out the 51st state.
01:02:16.560
While Carney says, well, it's never going to happen.
01:02:22.960
It consulted with the owners of Canada and it's never going to happen.
01:02:30.340
And he said, well, you can see Trump go like this, his little, like Trumpy, like when,
01:02:37.380
you know, when he says, uh, what somebody says something he disagrees with, but he's
01:02:41.940
going to be cheeky about it when he's like, and Canada's not for sale.
01:02:48.400
And then he goes, well, it takes time, it takes time.
01:02:57.700
Uh, we, by the way, speaking of Mark Carney, uh, you'll never guess where the boss is.
01:03:06.520
He went to the, he went again, he's on a tax Haven, uh, mission again, this tour.
01:03:14.840
So he, he went to Isle of Man, I think a week ago.
01:03:18.820
Uh, fascinating to go to try to talk to the elderly man in the residential house where
01:03:26.300
Bermuda IOM or sorry, Bermuda Brookfield IOM Isle of Man is situated.
01:03:35.180
And the elderly gentleman who owns the property is apparently the head of Brookfield IOM Isle
01:03:45.340
And then, so today, Ezra flew to the Bermuda bike shop where Mark Carney hid billions of dollars.
01:03:55.140
He tells a little joke in, uh, he wrote a little joke.
01:03:58.620
I was just sort of reading what he wrote to describe the video.
01:04:01.640
And he said, the Bermuda triangle known for its disappearances in this case, where Mark
01:04:07.360
Carney disappeared a bunch of money from the CRA.
01:04:10.840
So, um, do we have a produced clip of that yet?
01:04:23.400
Uh, Ezra at the airport wearing his Bermuda shorts because he has to always stay on theme.
01:04:37.880
In fact, I'm wearing the closest thing I have to Bermuda shorts.
01:04:47.900
I've got four hours on the ground and then I'm coming back.
01:04:55.920
So I'm going to try and do my work in four hours.
01:05:00.300
And that's four hours, including traveling from the airport to the town and back and checking
01:05:05.040
into the, so I only really have two hours to do stuff about an investigative project we've
01:05:14.480
Well, I'm going to the main city in Bermuda called Hamilton and I am looking for Mark Carney's
01:05:23.640
He stashed the cash in Bermuda and he did this trick in the Isle of Man.
01:05:29.120
You might recall a few weeks ago, I went to this little tax free haven between the UK and
01:05:34.700
And what's so amazing for oligarchs and billionaires is that they can hide their money there.
01:05:40.640
There's lots of secrecy in their banking and they pay their extremely low tax in the Isle
01:05:45.560
of Man instead of around the world where they conduct their business.
01:05:48.520
Well, Brookfield Asset Management did that in Bermuda with tens of billions of dollars.
01:05:54.300
In fact, Brookfield Asset Management is so big, it's got a trillion dollars under management.
01:05:59.120
It's sort of like a slightly smaller BlackRock.
01:06:03.660
They do whatever tax tricks they want and the government has to catch up with them.
01:06:07.780
In fact, right now, the Canada Revenue Agency is in court against Brookfield saying that Brookfield
01:06:13.900
hid and illegally avoided tens of millions of dollars in taxes from a foreign currency deal.
01:06:29.360
At the same time, the justice minister and the national revenue minister are suing Brookfield.
01:06:34.240
But what's even crazier, Mark Carney hasn't even sold his Brookfield stock.
01:06:39.420
He's got $6.8 million worth of stock options and he insists on holding onto them.
01:06:45.520
He put them in a blind trust, but he knows what they are.
01:06:50.880
He knows whatever he does as prime minister will affect those.
01:06:59.300
Does he think if things don't work out for them, him, he'll go back to Brookfield or something?
01:07:08.980
So whenever an issue arises in government that touches on Brookfield, someone will say,
01:07:14.440
hey boss, you got to step out of the room now because they're talking about Brookfield.
01:07:17.900
Well, his entire cabinet knows that's the boss's company.
01:07:21.720
How do you have a screen for Brookfield, which is so huge, touches on everything, and everyone
01:07:28.040
in the cabinet knows that's the prime minister's company?
01:07:30.960
You don't think that they're aware of that and conscious of that?
01:07:36.880
We're going to do what we did in the Isle of Man.
01:07:39.420
We're going to find out the address of Brookfield in Bermuda.
01:07:43.760
And if it's what I think it is, it's another sham.
01:07:47.100
A shell company with a straw man just to fly the Bermuda flag and say, yeah, this is where
01:07:54.800
And on paper, it's legal, although like I say, the Canada Revenue Agency says what Brookfield's
01:08:03.180
We know that Brookfield has already been called Canada's largest tax dodger, but here's my
01:08:09.080
If you're the Canadian prime minister like Mark Carney is, you're imposing taxes on the
01:08:15.840
Shouldn't you pay the same taxes that you force Canadians to do?
01:08:19.480
We all can't set up our companies in Bermuda and the Isle of Man.
01:08:23.960
If you're a farmer growing canola in Saskatchewan, you can't say, oh, no, sorry, I'm not paying
01:08:29.120
taxes here because I'm located offshore in Bermuda.
01:08:32.500
It's a trick that only slippery oligarchs like Brookfield can get away with.
01:08:40.360
I'm going to go and try and find out some of the answers to this.
01:08:49.900
Why isn't the mass of CBC with their, what's it now, $1.65 billion a year?
01:08:55.800
Why didn't they think that might be of interest?
01:09:01.060
It's about $400 to get there, about $500 to get back.
01:09:06.840
Between my videographer and I, we're probably going to spend about $2,000.
01:09:15.100
Do you doubt for a second that if Pierre Polyev or some other conservative had offshore holdings worth millions of dollars in a tax haven?
01:09:24.620
Do you doubt that they would camp out there and go deep on it?
01:09:29.160
We're doing the job that the regime media won't.
01:09:31.540
If you want to help us out, follow along at thecarneyfiles.com.
01:09:35.600
And if you think this work is valuable, feel free to chip into our crowdfund.
01:09:39.260
Unlike the CBC, we don't take a dime from the government, and we never will.
01:09:50.600
There's Ezra, jetting around the world to tell the stories that the CBC is too lazy to, they're too lazy to, while always in the back of his mind thinking about Saskatchewan canola growers.
01:10:06.620
And I can't wait to see what he figures out about.
01:10:14.680
Yeah, Brookfield is a bunch of shady shysters, guys.
01:10:18.280
Like, they got their tentacles all around the world to make sure that they're not paying taxes the same way you and I are forced to by our federal government.
01:10:28.540
And this is the guy we have as our prime minister that does this.
01:10:33.420
Uh, you know what was the most horrific part of that whole report?
01:10:39.340
Um, that it is only three hours from Toronto to Bermuda?
01:10:55.280
Uh, uh, this sort of went by the wayside yesterday, but I'm going to, let's talk about it real quick.
01:11:00.580
Um, if you, in case you're curious about how shady the tentacles of Brookfield asset management are, this story broke yesterday thanks to the incredible work of, um, Black Lockster Porter.
01:11:16.700
An audit of a carny-linked firm, what, uh, it's $157 million Canadian Forces fiasco.
01:11:32.020
So auditors just blew the lid off $157 million military relocation contract gone horribly wrong.
01:11:40.400
The job was to handle 12,000 armed forces moves a year.
01:11:45.460
The result, errors, errors, delays, chaos, collapsed morale, a full-blown operational failure.
01:12:02.320
When this contract was handed out until January 16th of this year, the detail was never mentioned in the audit.
01:12:13.360
So this was while Carney was advisor to the Liberal Party of Canada, who was the Prime Minister, instead of advisor to the Prime Minister, which is how you skirt the, um, conflict of interest rules.
01:12:27.940
Anyways, Brookfield Global Relocation was paid to make moves seamless for our soldiers.
01:12:32.680
Instead, it buried them in red tape and confusion and left families in limbo.
01:12:36.860
Meanwhile, Carney was advising the Liberal Party, not the Prime Minister, just the party leader, Neat Trick, that helped him dodge conflict of interest laws while firms linked to him were profiting from government contracts.
01:12:48.700
And then I just, from there, I go down to, you know, say that this is just part of more of the same.
01:12:56.620
So if you think this is going to change, it's going to get worse.
01:13:43.940
They're stealing the money that they've been prepaid by the government to help families relocate while families are, while families are separated from each other and thrown into chaos.
01:13:57.900
And they don't, they just take the money and run.
01:14:05.640
And thanks, again, so much to Blacklock's reporter.
01:14:08.780
They do just incredible work on behalf of Canadians without any government subsidies, government subsidies like the CBC has.
01:14:17.380
And yet, here's little Blacklocks breaking this story while the CBC sits on their hands and reports on $10,000 spends by Danielle Smith.
01:14:37.060
And this was while Carney is whispering in the prime minister's ear.
01:14:52.860
You and I have never talked about this, but maybe people at home, you could let us know.
01:15:05.560
There's this company called Lumen, and nobody quite knows what it does, but it also does everything.
01:15:14.720
And it's, anyways, you don't need to know what the Severance procedure was.
01:15:20.020
But it's this sinister company that does everything, but also this thing that nobody quite really understands or knows about.
01:15:26.460
And you don't really know this, and you don't really know the motives of the company, but it's quite sinister.
01:15:30.820
And everybody works for the company, and it does everything.
01:15:36.780
We're living that right now with Brookfield Asset Management.
01:15:44.820
They got their tentacles in every sort of business that can possibly make the money, and they've infiltrated.
01:16:02.000
After 10 years of liberal scandal, it's just going to continue.
01:16:05.940
It's so wild, because while everyday regular Canadians would be prosecuted immediately if they pulled something like this.
01:16:13.500
In the United States, you'd be in jail for so long for this stuff.
01:16:37.480
They've been given $200 billion to investigate the corruption that the other arm of the, what is that little animal that I'm thinking of?
01:17:00.800
Everything's just going to have Brookfield in front of it.
01:17:03.100
You know who's going to investigate the green slush fund when Parliament goes back?
01:17:07.480
Brookfield Forensic Auditing Services, probably.
01:17:17.720
We've got a couple of things we'll get to before we wrap up the show, and then we'll do our daily cringe.
01:17:25.040
Alexa Lavoie was out on the streets of Ottawa scrumming the Conservative Caucus as they left their first caucus meeting post-election loss.
01:17:37.660
And so she was able to talk to Andrew Scheer, who once said some pretty mean things about us to a CBC panel and see where that got him.
01:17:52.740
I actually like the work that he's been doing as of late.
01:17:55.560
But anyways, let's see her interaction with Andrew Scheer.
01:18:04.120
I just want to know how the Conservative Party will work to unite a Canada that is completely divided in half that believe that Canada is great and the other one say that it's broken.
01:18:15.300
Well, we need to fight to lower taxes, to increase individual liberty and freedom, and allow every region to develop the industries that employ so many people.
01:18:27.920
Do you believe that Pia Poliev is still the best leader?
01:18:40.400
He could have slowed his role just a tiny bit and engaged a little bit better.
01:18:51.560
Yeah, that's kind of, that's a little bit disappointing to see, to be completely honest.
01:19:02.980
In fact, I appreciate when they're scared at us.
01:19:09.480
I don't want you to think of me as, uh, I don't know, some sort of boot polisher on
01:19:16.060
I don't want that, but at least act like a normal human, even if you don't want to talk
01:19:26.140
And I don't think that was done there, even though the answer was probably good.
01:19:33.960
Andrew Scheer, a little bit of eye contact, a little bit of engagement, nice engagements.
01:19:38.840
Yeah, and Alexa could not have been nicer, could not have been nicer.
01:19:48.020
So let's hear from Polyev on her very polite question to him.
01:19:57.520
We're not going to be, uh, sycophantic to you, but we're not going to be wild either.
01:20:33.940
I know you have a good answer to this, but what makes you...
01:20:38.940
You don't have like a quick, quick, just comment for the Conservative voter in Canadian?
01:20:43.940
We have to unite and move forward. We've got a brighter, we've got a bright future.
01:20:47.940
We're going to defeat this government in the future and we're going to bring home a bright future for the country.
01:21:00.940
Do you see what Polyev did? Thanked the independent media for being out there.
01:21:05.940
Looked at Alexa in her face, answered the question and kept going.
01:21:12.940
And I'm not mad at Scheer, I don't dislike him.
01:21:15.940
And it gave her a little wink too, I think, a little hello.
01:21:20.940
A little, a little friendly nod there at the beginning.
01:21:27.940
I think we have to give them a tiny bit of grace, a tiny bit of grace.
01:21:30.940
They're still very much processing a really hard fought battle and bitter loss.
01:21:37.940
It was a bitter loss for the Conservative Party of Canada.
01:21:40.940
It was a bitter loss for the people of Canada who were really, really banking on, banking on change and looking forward after two years of soaring polls to see it all fall apart in the end.
01:21:54.940
However, there are some questions that the Conservative Party must grapple with at this time.
01:22:01.940
And time will tell whether they're brave enough to grapple with those questions in public, truly.
01:22:08.940
You can't lose three times in a row and say, no, we're on the right track.
01:22:13.940
Something's got to change over there at the Conservative Party.
01:22:18.940
You know, I've got to tell you something that I noticed there and watched it the first time through and then the second time through.
01:22:36.940
I was like, you know, it's a that is a definite choice.
01:22:40.940
It sends a message that, you know, like probably could have had something far, far more expensive that aired on the side of this is my.
01:22:55.940
She opted for your middle class investment piece, but also practical because it's nylon.
01:23:10.940
So it's probably full of like hot wheels and yogurt tubes.
01:23:31.940
We'll do the daily cringe and then we'll wrap it up.
01:23:35.940
We've got Pine Grizz gives us 20 bucks and I don't see a comment there, but thank you for
01:23:46.940
Ezra, you missed out making your knees video stars.
01:24:20.940
Gotta have that handy when you're going to Bermuda even before.
01:24:38.940
So this comes by way of Matt Walsh, who I enjoy immensely.
01:24:43.940
He says, this is what he shows us this statue of a woman.
01:24:50.940
He said they tear down statues of American heroes and replace him with statues of random obese
01:24:55.940
black women because that's the left, because the left has no historical heroes.
01:25:03.940
Everyone who was born before approximately 2005 is inherently problematic.
01:25:10.940
Let's watch and listen to this video because they are, I know, let's go.
01:25:18.940
And communicate the, those inner worlds that we have.
01:25:22.940
And sometimes we misinterpret with one another to try and create an understanding and basically
01:25:55.940
On a, on a Saturday morning, as I'm schlepping from the washer to the dryer.
01:26:03.940
Why do they look like they're in heaven's gate?
01:26:17.940
Listen, put on your ugliest schleppiest t-shirt and your yoga pants.
01:26:22.940
We're going to do a huge bronze, put it in Times Square and call in the choir.
01:26:35.940
I don't like, I just want to know about the woman that this is modeled after.
01:26:43.940
Like, if you're like, Sheila, we're going to make a bronze statue of you.
01:26:52.940
I'd be like, okay, I'm going to need eight weeks because I'm going to be the best version
01:27:02.940
This is me in yoga pants on a Saturday morning folding laundry.
01:27:11.940
You know, like I can't even show you what I have on the bottom.
01:27:16.940
Like this is if I showed up and I was like, okay, bronze me and they're like done.
01:27:23.940
I want to know how much this cost and who paid for it.
01:27:25.940
I think it was the taxpayers of New York, probably through a grant.
01:27:35.940
Well, this is what passes for public art all over the world.
01:27:40.940
Do you know what I, on the upside, outside of the cringe singing and dancing, which I
01:27:45.940
don't believe has any relevance to what we're looking at here.
01:27:49.940
Um, I am happy to know that my current state quite literally sweatpants is an art form.
01:28:10.940
Like we're right up there with Leonardo's Michelangelo.
01:28:29.940
Well, listen, if that can happen for her, it can happen for us.
01:28:36.940
Please, Lord, I want for me what you've given to her.
01:28:43.940
I want to be in my bathrobe in bronze in my hometown of Penn, Saskatchewan, one day.
01:28:49.940
And I want it to be paid for with public funds through an arts grant.
01:28:56.940
