Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at
00:00:19.200
some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels. I'm your host, David
00:00:23.860
Benzies. Hey folks, if you are concerned about all those irregular migrants illegally waltzing
00:00:31.500
into Canada, have no fear. The authorities are making certain to ask these folks tough
00:00:37.680
screening questions to make sure we aren't harbouring any bad guys here. For example, one
00:00:42.920
question is, do you play video games? No, seriously. Sheila Gunn-Reed shall explain all. And the federal
00:00:51.740
election is over and perhaps the biggest constituency that is not happy with the results are those
00:00:58.360
living in the province of Alberta. More governance from the Trudeau Liberals means yet more years
00:01:04.280
of pipeline paralysis. And the hit on the economy is creating a very real separatist movement
00:01:10.940
in Wild Rose Country. Rebel Commander Ezra Levant will drop by to offer his thoughts. And finally,
00:01:18.020
letters, we get your letters. We get your letters every minute of every day. And I'll share some
00:01:22.680
of your responses regarding the amount of physicality that rebel reporters had to put up with by those
00:01:28.800
on the oh-so-tolerant left. Yeah, when it comes to tolerance, liberals like to talk a mean game.
00:01:35.340
In practice, not so much. Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.
00:01:48.020
Now two years ago, it was discovered that RCMP officers were screening Quebec border crossers on
00:01:57.120
religion and religious values using a questionnaire. And this became, I don't know, I guess very
00:02:03.780
controversial in left-wing open borders type circles. Some questions asked directly about the
00:02:09.840
migrants' religion and how often they practice said religion, whatever that might be. Specifically,
00:02:15.600
question number 31 on the 41 question form asked,
00:02:20.080
Canada is a very liberal country that believes in freedom of religious practice and equality between
00:02:26.480
women and men. What is your opinion on this subject? And how would you feel if your boss was a woman?
00:02:33.860
Now, as you know, I'm no feminist, but that seems, I don't know, sort of like a pretty reasonable
00:02:38.500
question to be asking anybody who desires to live in our country. Apparently, the feminists in the
00:02:47.060
liberal government, though, are just perfectly fine with importing a migrant population that thinks
00:02:51.880
women are a subspecies to the menfolk around here because Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale
00:02:58.620
has pledged that any data that had been collected using that questionnaire would be expunged and purged
00:03:06.360
and destroyed, even if it did indeed identify terrorist sympathies in some migrants.
00:03:13.380
Ah, welcome to Canada, folks, where not only can you illegally waltz across the border without
00:03:19.620
enduring any agro whatsoever from law enforcement, but once you are upon Canadian soil, you will not
00:03:27.340
be asked any impolite questions, lest those questions end up offending you, because there is no greater
00:03:34.660
crime in this day and age than hurting somebody's feelings, even if that somebody happens to
00:03:40.300
subscribe to, oh, I don't know, jihad, as opposed to Western values. Incredible. And joining me now
00:03:47.620
with more on a story that seemingly defies all logic if one cares about the security of a country
00:03:54.460
is the host of The Gun Show, Sheila Gunn-Reed. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.
00:03:59.220
Hey, David, it's so great to be on this side of the camera after filling in for a while.
00:04:06.160
Well, thank you for keeping the seat warm while I was gone on the election trail, Sheila. You did a
00:04:11.220
great job. But Sheila, let me get this straight. One of the allegedly new and improved questions
00:04:18.520
directed at those crossing the border is, do you play video games? What in blue blazes is the relevance
00:04:28.240
of such a question? I don't know. I don't know if they're looking to see if the illegal migrants
00:04:36.060
are playing violent video games, as opposed to, I guess, Candy Crush or Bubble Witch or whatever
00:04:43.580
people play on their phones these days. But I thought it was sort of a bizarre question considering
00:04:49.760
the public safety ramifications or lack thereof. We asked for the questionnaire that had been cancelled
00:05:02.320
by the public safety minister because that original questionnaire had asked about Canadian values,
00:05:09.920
the religion of the migrants, and I suppose maybe more importantly, the frequency and fervor with
00:05:15.840
which the migrants practiced their said religion. So the original questionnaire also had a question
00:05:22.160
that asked how the migrants would feel if they had a female boss and if they believed in freedom
00:05:29.580
of religion. Now, those are pretty important things to me as a woman and probably important to you as
00:05:34.300
a man who is pretty into women. You know, I think you pretty, you like your wife and you want to make sure
00:05:41.940
that she's treated okay. And that questionnaire was not only scrapped, but all the data was expunged.
00:05:49.020
So even if it identified people with extremist tendencies crossing the border, that data will
00:05:55.380
never be used. We won't know what the answers to those questions were. We asked for that questionnaire
00:06:01.080
and we never got it. Instead, we got this new questionnaire, which we assume is the one that they're currently
00:06:06.900
using at the border. And the reason we assume that is because they actually blacked out some of the
00:06:12.800
behavioral tells and cues that the border officers, the CBSA and the RCMP are watching for at the border.
00:06:20.340
And gone are all the questions about whether or not you believe in not just Canadian values, but
00:06:27.140
Western civilization values of equality between the sexes and freedom of religion and expression.
00:06:32.260
And in their place are questions about whether or not you support ISIS or the Taliban, which I can't
00:06:39.580
imagine a lone wolf ever answering that question, honestly, but also questions about what do you play
00:06:47.520
video games and what video games do you play? It almost felt like they were just putting questions
00:06:56.620
But, you know, Sheila, it's such a flawed premise because, you know, on so many friends
00:07:02.320
here, there are so, I mean, the video game industry, it's bigger than Hollywood right now in terms of
00:07:09.060
revenues that movies generate. There are all kinds of violent video games out there. That's without a
00:07:16.200
question. But similarly, there are people that play these violent video games. These are residents that
00:07:22.640
would never think of, you know, carrying out a real act of violence. I mean, it's a fantasy realm.
00:07:29.840
So the whole process, I would assume, is flawed. But, you know, you said something else there
00:07:34.460
about trying to find out if some of these migrants come from a culture where sexism is the norm, where
00:07:42.260
it's okay to, you know, feel superior to women. And so maybe that's the, you know, the catch in terms of the
00:07:51.700
video game question, Sheila. If one were to answer, I prefer playing Pac-Man to Mrs. Pac-Man, maybe it's a trick
00:08:03.400
David, Pac-Man is a 40 year old video game. You know, it's so strange, though, because in light of all this
00:08:16.300
information that we got just in, like, the day before the election, we also heard news that the Liberal government
00:08:25.900
is canceling the warrants of people who are under deportation order if they can evade the police for long enough.
00:08:35.640
So basically, when anybody walks into our country, they're entitled to an immigration refugee board hearing.
00:08:43.200
And at that point, they'll be determined to be deported. So we're not doing, like, deportations right at the border.
00:08:50.960
So you come into the country illegally, you say you're a refugee, you're claiming status in our country, we invite you back.
00:09:00.660
It's catch and release. We say, okay, off you go. But be sure to show up at such and such a time, 90 days, six months, a year from now,
00:09:08.720
and we'll decide if you get to stay in the country. If those people don't return for their refugee board hearing,
00:09:15.700
and they evade the police for long enough, right now the government is canceling their warrants,
00:09:22.240
which is rewarding people for absconding from the law in the first place.
00:09:27.500
They broke the law to come into our country, so total disregard for the law, and then they break the law by not returning
00:09:33.620
for their refugee hearing, and then they evade the law, and we say, fine, it's fine.
00:09:40.440
You know, Sheila, this has me seething. This is a complete dereliction of duty.
00:09:46.740
I mean, that is outrageous. You're saying right now that your evidence indicates that
00:09:51.840
if you are scheduled as a refugee claimant to show up at your refugee board hearing,
00:09:58.140
and you do not, and then you go underground and avoid the police rounding you up for a certain period of time,
00:10:04.420
the state surrenders. We throw in the towel, we cancel the warrant. This is outrageous.
00:10:11.320
I mean, I think of myself as a law-abiding citizen yourself, our audience.
00:10:15.480
If we refuse, say, to pay our taxes, does the Canadian Revenue Agency say,
00:10:20.100
well, both, we tried to issue a notice, but he ain't paying, so we'll just throw away that.
00:10:28.700
Why would they even consider this to be a good strategy in terms of national security in the first place, Sheila?
00:10:36.900
I don't know if it's just the sheer capacity and volume of migrants that are now absconding from their refugee hearings,
00:10:43.840
and the Canadian government just doesn't have the resources to deal with it all,
00:10:49.220
but I have a really quick fix to that, and that is to secure the border.
00:10:52.260
And this really should have been a big issue in the final days of the election,
00:11:03.500
The Conservatives came out and said, no, no, no, we'll continue to try our best to enforce those warrants,
00:11:10.760
And I think, to some extent, the rise of the Bloc Québécois, again, in Quebec,
00:11:16.580
has to do a lot with the unsecured border at Roxham Road.
00:11:20.960
Yeah, I think you're right, and I think Maxime Bernier was the most vociferous candidate in addressing this issue
00:11:29.840
to the point where they were going to fix this safe third country loophole,
00:11:36.240
and not only that, put up a fence at these so-called irregular border crossings.
00:11:41.540
I mean, I think it's outrageous, Sheila, that if we know of the entry points where people are just coming in,
00:11:47.920
that we're not defending the border, and I would say this, that if a country doesn't defend its borders,
00:11:55.160
well, it's not much of a country to begin with.
00:11:57.540
That should be the fundamental, you know, identifier of a sovereign nation.
00:12:03.040
Yeah, there are duties and responsibilities that come with citizenship in the same way that there are privileges.
00:12:09.880
And when we diminish the value of our citizenship by affording it to any lawbreaker who strolls into our country,
00:12:18.520
And I suppose that might not be my problem in a little bit,
00:12:23.800
because I'll be joining the Alberta Border Patrol.
00:12:26.740
And Sheila, you know, I want to go back to the original premise that those questions that, you know,
00:12:40.200
Why is it that asking questions about certain religious beliefs, certain cultural beliefs,
00:12:52.620
It's what you believe in, in terms of an ideology.
00:12:56.020
So why is this government lying that these questions were racist in the first place?
00:13:07.680
I think I probably practice my religion, at least in some form, every single day.
00:13:12.180
Try to go to mass once a week, although I'm not the best at that.
00:13:16.100
But if I were trying to, let's say, emigrate to England in the times of the Troubles,
00:13:21.260
and they asked me, how often do you practice your religion, and do you believe that the crown is illegitimate,
00:13:32.500
and would you use violence to achieve independence from Northern Ireland?
00:13:38.200
I would understand why they were at least asking me those questions,
00:13:41.940
given what was going on in the culture and in the country at the time.
00:13:48.900
It's taking a group of people and then IDing the extremists within them.
00:13:54.900
You're weeding out the extremists with those questions.
00:13:59.980
You're doing your best to ID the extremists within the one group.
00:14:06.100
And if we did ID any extremists, that information is gone.
00:14:12.460
In fact, you're doing a disservice to legitimate refugees truly feeling persecution,
00:14:23.260
We know what the results were of Monday night, unfortunately.
00:14:26.600
So, and I know you've been on this file for the last few years,
00:14:30.280
and you've done great commentaries, great investigative work
00:14:33.040
in showing what's going on in terms of the so-called irregular immigration to Canada.
00:14:38.220
But given the result of Monday night, Sheila, nothing's going to change, is it?
00:14:45.120
And I think that's why you're seeing this fire,
00:14:52.620
because I think these are issues that parts of the country care deeply about.
00:14:56.620
I mentioned the bloc already, and I mentioned the West.
00:15:00.680
These are issues that matter and resonate with conservative voters,
00:15:05.460
because we feel like we are paying for these four open borders,
00:15:14.080
And it's pretty clear nothing's going to change.
00:15:16.380
The first wave of Justin Trudeau's Syrian refugees,
00:15:27.200
and how things went in Toronto and where those refugees settled.
00:15:36.400
And I don't think the Liberals care all that much.
00:15:42.200
Not only not care all that much, but perhaps, given the results of Monday evening,
00:15:46.780
feel emboldened and even more arrogant that they're doing the right thing
00:15:56.740
I urge all our viewers to go and watch it in its entirety.
00:16:10.420
More of Rebel Roundup to come, right after this.
00:16:17.960
The Bloc de Bloc grew in Quebec, including at the expense of the NDP.
00:16:25.260
But what all these losers have in common is that they hate Alberta
00:16:28.460
and hate Alberta oil and hate Alberta oil pipelines along with Trudeau.
00:16:36.620
The Quebecers are better than the rest of Canada because, you know, we're Quebecers.
00:16:47.260
That's when he was a teacher at West Point Grey Academy.
00:16:50.540
Here he is about 10 years later, all grown up, almost 40,
00:16:57.680
Look at the Canada, it's hard now because it's Albertans who control our community and socio-démocratics.
00:17:07.840
Is it that the Canada is better served when there are more Quebecers in power than when there are more Albertans in power?
00:17:13.600
Well, I'm a liberal, so I'm sure I think that yes.
00:17:17.380
Certainly, when we look at the great first ministers of the 20th century,
00:17:21.680
the only ones who really took place were Quebec's deputies.
00:17:26.180
It was Trudeau, it was Mulroney, it was Christian, it was Paul Martin.
00:17:36.740
Yeah, when someone shows you who they are, why don't you believe them?
00:17:46.320
They get, what, $14 billion a year from equalization, mainly from Albertans, Saskatchewan.
00:17:50.720
Don't tell me that they'd really walk away from that.
00:17:52.860
It's just a bargaining stance to get whatever else they want.
00:17:56.180
Alberta separatism, I see it rising in a way I haven't before.
00:17:59.980
And it's not fake, and it's not noisy, and it's not showy.
00:18:04.980
I don't know what's going to happen, but I know that across Canada,
00:18:10.360
Well, once upon a time, when it came to the idea of a province separating from Canada,
00:18:17.420
But after two failed referendums, the idea of Quebec existing as its own republic
00:18:24.780
And that's assuming Quebec really wanted to separate in the first place,
00:18:28.040
as opposed to using the idea of separation as a bargaining chip.
00:18:32.220
Yet, meanwhile, in Alberta, a separatist vibe is indeed gaining momentum.
00:18:42.120
And joining me now to discuss this issue is our very own rebel commander, Ezra Levent.
00:18:46.900
So, Ezra, first question, if you care to speculate.
00:18:50.320
If there was a referendum in Alberta today about exiting from Canada, how do you think that would go?
00:19:00.260
I don't think Albertans would be ready to push the separate button just yet
00:19:05.120
because I think a lot of questions haven't been figured out.
00:19:08.560
I think there has to be a conversation where questions are answered.
00:19:19.120
There's a lot of questions, but every one of those questions probably has an answer.
00:19:24.220
And every one of the answers is probably as good or better than the current answers,
00:19:29.540
which are you'll be the whipping boy for the liberals, the Green Party, the NDP, and the bloc.
00:19:36.220
You won't get any pipelines, but we sure will take your equalization payments.
00:19:40.380
Net $14 billion a year will leave Alberta to Ottawa.
00:19:44.000
And you'll be called bigots, xenophobes, homophobes, Islamophobes.
00:19:49.880
So I think once that conversation is had, I think the answer certainly could be yes.
00:19:59.780
There was a separatist movement in Alberta about 40 years ago.
00:20:05.300
Preston Manning came along and said the West wants in.
00:20:11.860
And for a dozen years, Albertans and other Westerners said,
00:20:19.180
And what happened instead is that split the vote.
00:20:22.960
It gave the liberals three majority governments back to back.
00:20:30.140
Here you have the Conservative Party with a Western leader.
00:20:33.920
And he can't beat Trudeau with the perfect storm, SNC-Lavalin, blackface.
00:20:43.140
And the result is more economic punishment coming to Alberta.
00:20:47.940
I think that the goodwill was tried already under Preston Manning, the Reform Party.
00:20:55.240
I don't think there's that, OK, we'll just fix it, you know, aw shucks utopianism that Preston Manning, like Preston Manning, in his own way, was an idealistic dreamer who failed.
00:21:08.940
And I say this as, I mean, I was his legislative assistant for two years.
00:21:18.800
And it's more a resignation or just, OK, let's just get on with it.
00:21:25.620
You know, Ezra, do you think that it's somewhat perversely ironic that the biggest force to keep Alberta in Confederation would indeed be the Federal Conservative Party?
00:21:37.600
And I say that because without those 34 seats, none of which went Liberal on Monday, perhaps the idea of the Conservative Party ever getting a majority government again is a distant dream.
00:21:51.660
So even though it might be beneficial for Albertans to chart their own destiny and be free of the Ottawa politics when it comes to the fossil fuel industry, Conservatives, which won 33 of those 34 seats, would be the ones clamouring to keep the province in.
00:22:10.180
Yeah, well, I mean, and you did this in your Streeters, your Vox Pop asking on Torontonians, if there's 338 seats and Trudeau won, I think, 156 of them, that's a minority.
00:22:24.280
But if you took Alberta out, there would be 304 seats and Trudeau would still have 156.
00:22:36.560
So you would have perpetual Liberal governments.
00:22:42.580
How is the Liberal Party not going to like that?
00:22:45.180
You could meet your carbon emission targets immediately because Alberta has a third of all the national emissions immediately.
00:22:56.020
I mean, Alberta for a long time has been the source of Conservative ideas.
00:23:00.480
Ralph Klein was the template for Mike Harris in terms of reigning in the size of government.
00:23:10.220
Opposition to out-of-control multiculturalism or immigration.
00:23:16.900
So why wouldn't the establishment, the Laurentian elite, want to be rid of Alberta?
00:23:22.200
I mean, the obvious reason is they like the $15 billion, $14, $15 billion a year they get.
00:23:29.600
I mean, they'll spend that on a drunk weekend in 4 and 8.
00:23:34.140
So if you're a Laurentian elite, you're happy to say goodbye to the redneck province.
00:23:48.280
I don't know what would happen, but it's very understandable that Alberta is sort of done with things.
00:23:56.600
When Stephen Harper was the prime minister, he never had many seats in Quebec.
00:24:00.040
But his entire term, he went out of his way to be pro-Quebec.
00:24:05.180
He always answered a question first in French before English.
00:24:15.080
He fixed the fiscal imbalance or whatever they called it.
00:24:18.960
He really quieted Quebec independence by giving them whatever they wanted and not picking fights with them.
00:24:26.380
They never returned the love, but he basically gave them what he needed to.
00:24:32.000
And the proof of that is that the Parti Québécois and the Bloc Québécois basically vanished because they weren't angry with Ottawa anymore.
00:24:41.080
Harper never demonized them, never campaigned against them in other regions.
00:24:45.820
That's completely the opposite of what Trudeau and the other leaders I just named did to Alberta.
00:24:50.300
In every case, Alberta was the punchline to their jokes, the punching bag of their shots.
00:24:55.480
And, you know, Ezra, when I speak to friends and families and colleagues,
00:25:00.700
as this is getting some traction about an Alberta separatist movement,
00:25:04.860
and I have to say many of these people have never even been to Alberta,
00:25:14.120
I've been to Alberta in the last couple of weeks,
00:25:16.200
and I've talked to people who have lost homes, have lost their vehicles,
00:25:19.760
depending on food banks to feed their families.
00:25:23.980
And this is because of a political process that's preventing them from getting their product to market.
00:25:29.220
We just saw hundreds of layoffs at Husky Oil in the day after the election.
00:25:33.760
This sentiment is not posturing, I don't think, Ezra.
00:25:38.080
I mean, I live in Toronto now, but I visit Alberta at least monthly.
00:25:44.200
And when I left Alberta to come to Toronto for the Sun News Network,
00:25:49.420
Alberta, and Calgary in particular, was famous for the strongest workforce, the lowest unemployment.
00:25:55.180
I mean, the unemployment rate would be around 4%, 3%, whatever.
00:25:58.220
Like, it was, there was no one working, sorry, no one not working unless they were choosing not to work.
00:26:07.580
You see homeless people throughout Alberta, and it's not by choice,
00:26:13.360
and it's not just the mentally ill who were not institutionalized or the forgot.
00:26:22.680
You see, like you talked about the food banks, you see bankruptcies.
00:26:26.440
To this day, the office space is 30%, 40% vacancy.
00:26:33.740
And it's hard to believe, because Alberta was all, wow, it's just a forever engine, the goose that lays the golden egg.
00:26:43.460
100 years ago, 80 years ago, Detroit was the leading industrial center in America, Motor City.
00:26:53.780
That's why so many people flocked there, including African Americans.
00:27:02.780
Get out of the Jim Crow areas, get a great job.
00:27:06.160
Like, it was a great, it was the best city if you're a working man.
00:27:11.320
Well, you add 50 layers of democratic rule to that.
00:27:17.060
Those gorgeous buildings that they built in the boom years, 30s, 40s, 50s, are now vacant.
00:27:26.260
It is possible to kill a goose that lays the golden egg.
00:27:34.720
They did it to San Francisco and L.A., and they will do it to Alberta.
00:27:41.760
I agree, and I'm glad you brought up the auto industry, Ezra, because for those people living in central Canada, what I say to them, imagine a liberal federal government that had a policy mandate that would stymie the Ontario auto industry.
00:27:56.920
Imagine a federal liberal government that had a policy mandate that would stymie the supply-managed dairy industry in Quebec.
00:28:06.200
Well, and the funny thing is both of those are not absurd, because both of those are high-emissions industries.
00:28:11.240
The dairy industry is one of the highest emissions if you care about global warming, and I think the whole thing is exaggerated, if not outright fake, because dairy cows, through their burping and farting, they emit as much CO2 as a car.
00:28:29.360
And the auto industry obviously not only makes cars, but it's very heavy and intensive in itself.
00:28:34.600
So the exact same rationale that's being put on the oil patch could be put against the auto industry or the Quebec dairy industry, but of course it's not, because it's a selective, punitive approach.
00:28:47.300
It's based on an anti-Alberta bigotry, and Albertans know that and see that.
00:28:51.520
And Albertans, believe it or not, are actually fine shipping billions of dollars to the rest of the country.
00:29:00.780
I've really not even heard a lot of Albertans ever quarrel with that.
00:29:04.480
What they want in return is, can you stop picking on us, and can you stop blocking us from earning the money that we're sending you?
00:29:12.980
It's not even a matter of asking for a subsidy.
00:29:14.940
It's just a matter of saying, can you get out of our way and let us bring our product to market?
00:29:22.860
I'm going to ask you to gaze into your crystal ball.
00:29:26.380
Do you actually see a day in which there would indeed be a referendum, whether it's for separation or sovereignty association, in terms of Albertans going to a ballot box and determining their future this way?
00:29:40.160
Well, not under Jason Kenney, because he, in my view, harbors ambitions to become the prime minister.
00:29:44.560
And if he were to facilitate in any way or even give rhetorical support towards an independence or separatist mission, that would disqualify him in the eyes of many Eastern voters.
00:30:00.680
And it would certainly be a chief angle of attack for his liberal opponents.
00:30:04.440
So I think you will see him as being against that.
00:30:07.720
Not just that, but just as the math works that you take Alberta out of the game, the liberals will win every time.
00:30:14.560
You take Alberta out of the game, the conservatives will lose every time.
00:30:18.760
And so the people who most want Alberta in the country, other than those who cash the checks from its equalization, are conservative politicians.
00:30:28.880
You ask, I mean, it's sort of ridiculous, the questions that you ask in your streeters about this meets Alberta's.
00:30:37.180
You take Alberta out of confederation, you immediately meet your goals.
00:30:40.600
And I saw your question, and some people said, yeah.
00:30:42.380
Yeah, what's so stupid about that is that the oil will still be produced as if there's like a border or something.
00:30:49.300
But it's no stupider than cutting back Canadian emissions while China builds hundreds of coal-fired power plants.
00:30:58.620
But I think that, I think that all these Alberta haters, well, maybe there's a dream, let us give them their dream come true.
00:31:07.760
And they'll need a new scapegoat when Alberta's gone, and they'll be a lot poorer while they do it.
00:31:17.540
I mean, a separation need not be, as the Quebec separatists used to say, a never-ending trip to the dentist.
00:31:24.680
They wanted it to be painful because they didn't actually want to separate.
00:31:39.220
Now, the politicians are delaying it because they don't like the result.
00:31:44.920
You would see the entire media party, which is based in Toronto.
00:31:50.100
You would see all the NGOs, all the banks, all the establishment against it.
00:31:54.120
You would see hundreds of millions of dollars spent to stop it from leaving.
00:31:57.380
But if it left, nonetheless, it would be quick and painless.
00:32:01.940
Not painless, but you keep $14 billion a year in your province, any pain will quickly be absolved.
00:32:14.940
I guess only time will tell if Alberta will remain a full-fledged member of Confederation,
00:32:20.440
or to paraphrase the words of General de Gaulle,
00:32:27.800
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:32:37.680
Is it true what she said, that black people appreciated Justin Trudeau donning blackface?
00:32:49.260
Because I've always been told that's a racist thing to do, for a white person to don blackface.
00:33:03.820
As disgusting as the Prime Minister wearing blackface, sir?
00:33:10.460
I tapped on the shoulder because you ran into me, sir.
00:33:22.020
Well, that was footage from last Friday of a Justin Trudeau rally in Vaughan, Ontario.
00:33:33.120
That's okay if the Liberal Party of Canada wants to be petty and vindictive.
00:33:39.060
And we received verbal abuse from some of the attendees.
00:33:41.860
And hey, that's okay, too, because, you know, sticks and stones and all that jazz, right?
00:33:46.820
But yet again, yours truly was subjected to physical abuse by some goon who claimed it was all an accident.
00:33:58.780
Indeed, where are these sunny ways Justin Trudeau promised some four years ago?
00:34:04.060
Because, folks, the sky still looks pretty overcast to me.
00:34:08.520
In any event, here's what some of you had to say about the bully boy tactics certain liberals like to employ
00:34:15.080
when they don't care for the questions being asked.
00:34:20.680
David, the manhandled menzoid, highlighting this corrupt election campaign.
00:34:25.340
Well, you know, old one, the physicality that I put up with,
00:34:28.700
as well as my colleague, Kian Bexty, was indeed beyond the pale.
00:34:32.660
But we kept a stiff upper lip, as the Brits like to say,
00:34:37.620
Yet, imagine if a CBC reporter had been treated in such a fashion.
00:34:47.200
But when this kind of crap happens to a rebel reporter,
00:34:53.660
The hypocrisy and the double standards are off the charts.
00:35:00.000
Some old geezer or anyone bumps into me like that.
00:35:05.960
Well, Death Larson, I would be lying if I told you that I never considered reacting in a similar fashion
00:35:13.420
as those who got physical with me over the course of the election campaign.
00:35:17.520
But the democratic process should not resort into acts of violence.
00:35:26.700
And besides, I just kind of get this feeling that if I were to respond in kind,
00:35:30.960
I'd be the one sitting in the back seat of a police cruiser.
00:35:37.080
Indeed, Christian, it's funny how these same people like to proclaim that love trumps hate.
00:35:47.160
And then you say something those on the left don't like,
00:35:50.820
and the next thing you know, a bicycle lock or something is being smashed over your head.
00:35:54.660
And yeah, the left talks a mean game when it comes to tolerance.
00:36:02.320
Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.
00:36:06.680
And remember, folks, without risk, there can be no glory.
