Sheila Gunn-Reed has some unbelievable data to share from her latest federal government access to information request pertaining to how the feds looked at the United We Roll convoy and Antifa during their visit to Ottawa in February of 2016.
00:05:08.720I mean, this is the same government that has a soft spot for the likes of Omer Cotter and Joshua Boyle.
00:05:17.200Yeah, that's an interesting thing I found out.
00:05:20.360We got just 20 pages back from the Privy Council office, so the bureaucrats around Justin Trudeau,
00:05:29.360when we filed for access to information about the planning of Joshua Boyle's visit to Justin Trudeau.
00:05:37.240And I got back over 200 pages, mostly security planning for the visit for the United We Roll convoy to Ottawa.
00:05:48.420These guys were really treated like they were a serious potential security threat to any and all of the ministries.
00:05:57.420And, you know, the potential for violence against them was sort of laughed off by bureaucrats who became aware of Antifa threatening to show up.
00:06:11.060And we know they did because they broke Kian Bexty's equipment when he was covering the convoy.
00:06:16.860They laughed it off and they called it a, quote-unquote, fun bit.
00:18:59.640You know, Kian, I wonder, since the Calgary Stampeders football club actually celebrates Western culture with the logo of that galloping bronco on their helmets,
00:19:09.680can we now expect Mike Rose to pull a Colin Kaepernick and take a knee until the team gets rid of that odious logo?
00:19:17.440Well, I mean, I can't believe he said that.
00:19:59.400Farmers and agriculturalists from around all of Alberta come to participate in competitions and events.
00:20:08.580And it's a serious part of their lifestyle.
00:20:10.420And city slickers in Calgary enjoy partaking in these events and learning how farmers operate around Canada and particularly in Alberta.
00:20:19.720And the fact that this athlete doesn't understand that or doesn't appreciate that, it makes me think he should be playing for a different team.
00:20:28.820And, you know, Kian, you know what I found was sort of perversely ironic.
00:20:31.520He had that delightful North Carolinian twang.
00:20:35.820And he sounded the most of all the people you interviewed like the stereotypical Hollywood cowboy.
00:20:42.660But, you know, what I'm trying to piece together, I'm trying to connect the dots here, Kian.
00:20:46.600And he called, you know, the idea, I guess, of the Wild West a conspiracy, like it's only a Hollywood invention.
00:20:55.900Now, granted, the period of the Wild West in terms of historical times, it was a very compressed time frame.
00:21:04.080We're talking about the latter part of the 1800 died out in the early days of the 19th century.
00:21:13.000There were cowboys, there were ranch hands, there were saloons, there were gunfights at the OK Corral.
00:21:19.440So what is he talking about that, you know, he's buying into conspiracy culture, much like the moon landing didn't happen and 9-11 was an inside job?
00:21:29.180Is that what he's saying about an entire period of history?
00:23:39.220And I think that it's time that Albertans and folks in Saskatchewan and even northern British Columbia come to accept that this government is simply not a government for them.
00:23:51.040This government isn't operating in Calgary's best interest.
00:23:54.640It's not operating in Edmonton or Saskatoon or Regina's best interest.
00:24:14.420And I think, honestly, I think that he's written it off.
00:24:18.480And if I was those MPs, I would be a little bit hurt because Kent Hare needs all the help that he can get.
00:24:24.700And he's certainly not getting it from his leader and from our prime minister.
00:24:28.820So I guess it's time that Albertans accept that they are, you know, a colony of the east.
00:24:34.920And it's unfortunate, but it's what we have to accept with this prime minister.
00:24:40.540Yeah, you know, you make an excellent point there, Kian, that Trudeau is safe in his Montreal riding and, you know, lording over us in Ottawa.
00:24:49.440But, like, for those liberal MPs, those outliers in the west, it's like, hey, we're on a life raft here floating in the Pacific.
00:24:58.900We could use a little help, but can't be bothered.
00:25:01.960You know, it was refreshing in your streeters.
00:25:07.160The vast majority of them loving cowboy culture, loving Western culture.
00:25:12.540But in addition to Mike Rose of the Stampeders, there was the presumably Muslim woman, certainly she was dressed as one,
00:25:19.840who thought it wasn't worth celebrating Western culture and cowboy culture.
00:25:24.260And I thought, you know, that's kind of odd, isn't it?
00:25:26.700I mean, you know, you're living in Western culture.
00:25:31.420I mean, if you have such distaste for it, why don't you choose to live in, say, the Middle East?
00:25:36.360Well, David, you have your own experience with this.
00:25:39.640When you went to the Al-Quds Festival, I think this was a very similar interaction, although not as bombastic as that fellow was, but just as honest.
00:25:50.160They're not here to celebrate our culture and partake in our culture and join it and participate in it in good faith.
00:26:00.960And I don't want to say they is, you know, stereotyping a whole group of people.
00:26:06.260But there are there it's without a doubt.
00:26:09.980And I'm going to tread carefully here.
00:26:11.500Without a doubt, there was a segment of the population that I interviewed that had very similar answers to her.
00:26:18.780And in the editing of that video, it just looked so, you know, you just had to read between the lines and and see who it was that was not very happy to be celebrating Western culture.
00:26:34.420Perhaps they just came to go on the merry-go-round.
00:26:36.700But we had we had to trim it down a little bit.
00:26:40.640So that was the only taste of it that we got.
00:26:42.440But there's plenty more instances like that, like that girl in the hijab who doesn't want to participate in Western culture that we cut because, you know, we just wanted to focus on the positives there.
00:28:06.340You know, this is such murky water for me.
00:28:10.580I usually don't talk about this kind of stuff.
00:28:12.040So it's like I'm trying to walk a line here.
00:28:14.460But, you know, I think that Calgarians need to be concerned.
00:28:18.060I think Canadians need to be concerned that the immigration that we have in this country is benefiting our country and is not a mechanism of international charity in its entirety.
00:28:31.960Because when you have an immigration system that doesn't serve the country, you bring in people that might not be as interested in living in the Canada that they came to as they are in colonizing Canada in a way that many on the left say was done 150 years ago.
00:28:53.080And I think that that's something to be concerned about.
00:28:56.840And I think that's something that many people don't want to talk about because it's uncomfortable.
00:29:00.700Hell, I'm uncomfortable talking about it myself.
00:29:02.900But it's not something that can be ignored.
00:29:08.040And maybe some people would say I'm a bigot.
00:29:10.660But the saying is indeed when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
00:29:13.920Not when in Rome, let's renovate Rome to our liking.
00:29:17.480But exit question, Kian, overall, Calgary Stampede 2019, any takeaway points, anything exceptional, anything that stood out this year for you at the fair?
00:31:04.160Not only did Trudeau not show up, but obviously Climate Barbie wouldn't be caught dead in a place where those kind of emissions are going up into the sky.
00:31:28.520More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:31:30.880So anyway, Amanda, who likens herself to animated princesses on her Twitter feed, is walking down Richmond Street in broad daylight, I tell you.
00:31:48.460And she was brutally, sexually assaulted.
00:31:52.800And Amanda, being a communications professional, she tweeted about it, about how Toronto the good became Toronto the terrible.
00:32:56.200Welcome to the historical accounting of Toronto's Day of Infamy by Amanda Galbraith, Mayor John Tory's former spokeslingy and now a PRBS artist with Navigator.
00:33:07.360Because recently Amanda was assaulted.
00:35:52.640Daily Affirmation with Stuart Smalley.
00:35:55.840I'm going to do a terrific show today, and I'm going to help people because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.
00:36:08.920Alan Cain writes, like Trudeau says, men with yellow vests and hard hats are a threat to women in general.
00:36:17.240Why can't we all be super feminists like Trudeau?
00:36:20.820Yes, like Amanda, Justin thinks those men who do all the heavy lifting out there and build stuff, they're the ones that should be maligned.
00:36:30.300The Prime Minister's statement was a clear attack on some of the hardest working dedicated Canadians.
00:36:37.820So for the Prime Minister to directly attack these men and insinuate that they are dangerous to women in rural communities is unconscionable and diminishes the high office that he holds.
00:36:49.040Not to mention, people in groping glass houses should not throw stones.
00:36:53.920So, again, will the Prime Minister stand and apologize for what he said?
00:37:09.560Mr. Speaker, we take very seriously the responsibility of creating safe workplaces, of supporting all people in communities to ensure that they have opportunities to contribute, opportunities to find good jobs,
00:37:23.240opportunities to grow their communities in safety and security.
00:37:27.940That is something we are going to continue to focus on.
00:37:30.760I will take no lessons from the Conservative Party on how to build safer, more inclusive communities.
