00:01:35.140 Roundup ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you in which we take a look back on some of the very best
00:01:40.540 commentaries of the last week from some of your very favorite rebels. I'm your host Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:01:45.840 filling in for the intrepid David Menzies as he's enjoying a well-deserved break. Alberta is seething
00:01:54.260 and for very good reason. The Trudeau liberals have obstructed the oil patch with the help of former
00:02:00.980 Alberta Premier Rachel Notley. And now Western separation is real and it's growing. And Ezra Levant
00:02:08.300 hosted back-to-back town halls in Edmonton and then in Calgary to discuss the issue. Then I have news.
00:02:14.980 Kian and I are going on a mission to hold the federal government to account halfway across the
00:02:20.280 world. Yes, we're going to Madrid to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December. Then
00:02:27.080 we've got your comments on Kian's video where he gave your support Don Cherry petition to that snake in
00:02:34.480 the grass, Judas Ron McClain in Edmonton. Those are your rebels. Let's round them up.
00:02:40.980 I want to tell you what the role is of Rebel News. I think it's a role that other media could be
00:02:55.460 playing but they won't. And that is to be the house or the host of this conversation. There has to be a
00:03:02.180 conversation going on about Alberta and the West's place in Canada because there's a lot of problems.
00:03:08.600 We all know that. You can't deny that there's problems. There's very many problems.
00:03:13.000 And yet to merely express that there is a problem and seek a solution, whatever that solution is, we don't even know
00:03:19.980 what form it might eventually take. To merely question it, you're called all sorts of names.
00:03:28.040 You're attacked personally. You're called a bigot, a racist. You're called a nationalist in a bad way.
00:03:35.300 I don't even know how that word has turned into an epithet. Your personal history is doxxed and
00:03:43.780 you're personally attacked in a manner that no other group with a legitimate, let alone an illegitimate
00:03:51.300 grievous, has done to it. Quebec separatists, Quebec sovereignists, when they come forward,
00:03:59.300 they're treated with the great respect, the greatest extra respect, extra care and handling.
00:04:07.140 But someone expresses a discontent in the West and they're immediately attacked not just by political
00:04:12.420 rivals, which is to be expected, but by the media that claims to be the way we as a nation talk things
00:04:21.620 out. I've especially been disappointed in the last month to see how the CBC and the Toronto Star,
00:04:28.260 but the CBC worse than any, have sneered at and attacked people.
00:04:37.300 And the attacks are one thing. I mean, I think Westerners are sort of used to that.
00:04:43.700 But the, you know, the saying fake friends and real enemies, that's the CBC for you.
00:04:50.500 They're real enemies of the West. I mean, for example, for decades, they've allowed an anti-oil
00:04:56.500 sands lobbyist. David Suzuki's foundation had half a dozen registered anti-oil sands lobbyists
00:05:04.580 while he was given pride of placement on the CBC lineup for decades. How does that even work,
00:05:11.700 that a registered lobbyist against the oil sands can be with the state broadcaster? Well,
00:05:16.580 there's your giveaway. It's a state broadcaster. Real enemies for sure. But the fake friends that I see
00:05:22.340 published in the CBC, oh dear Albertans, we deeply care about you and we feel for you.
00:05:28.420 And can you guys just get with it and phase out the oil sands? All of their we love you
00:05:35.940 op-eds seem to end that same way, don't they? By telling us that we're the problem.
00:05:43.860 I think the role of Rebel News is to host the debate in a way that allows people to express
00:05:51.620 themselves and to find the answers without attacking people, without demonizing people.
00:05:57.060 So we've just wrapped up two very, very successful Wexit town halls. It was more than an airing of the
00:06:04.580 grievances though, was it? I thought we'd have a Festivus miracle here and we sold out. But there was
00:06:10.900 pretty thoughtful questions from the crowd and you did pretty well at bringing together a thoughtful
00:06:16.580 panel. I think I brought up the thoughtfulness. But we had Kian and we had Lauren Gunter and yourself and
00:06:22.900 I think that we addressed some questions. I don't know if we offered some solutions, but we gave
00:06:30.820 people a place to at least ask the question without being told to shut up. Yeah, I mean we certainly
00:06:36.260 didn't answer this. We didn't put the puzzle together, but we're starting to flip over the pieces
00:06:42.180 and see what goes where. The idea of Wexit means different things to different people. And when
00:06:50.420 you start to give a definition, some divisions emerge. Some people think it means just Alberta
00:06:57.620 separating. Others say well Alberta and Saskatchewan. Others say the whole West. Some people think it
00:07:02.580 means being independent. Some people think it means joining the United States. Some people think it should
00:07:07.460 be part of the British Commonwealth and stay loyal to the Queen. Others want a republic. Some people
00:07:12.900 think it should have a federal party like the Bloc Québécois did. Like there's so many different things
00:07:19.060 it could mean and maybe it means more than one of those. But I think that has to be figured out. And
00:07:24.980 what's the goal? And most importantly, what are you willing to do to make it happen? The one thing I said
00:07:31.860 that I think is really the test is if you say to the rest of Canada, if you say to Justin Trudeau,
00:07:40.180 I want this, this and this, he's going to ignore you. We know that because he has the votes. He just
00:07:46.180 won't fight us. Yeah. You have to have an or else. If you're serious, if you're a negotiator,
00:07:52.900 yet if you're in any negotiation, if you can't walk away from the table, if you can't have an or else,
00:07:58.420 you're not going to get it. And that's, I think, the problem of Wexit. I mean, Donald Trump has taught
00:08:04.180 us you got to, you got to be tough in a negotiation and you can only be tough if there's an or else.
00:08:11.620 And I don't see that yet. I see the rebels role here is hosting this conversation
00:08:20.820 in good faith and letting people talk freely and make mistakes in their thinking, but figure it out
00:08:26.500 and not to jump on people, which is what the CBC and the media party will do.
00:08:32.580 Quebec was allowed to have its sovereignist, separatist movement and different gradations
00:08:38.180 thereof without being pounced on. I think Western Canada, which is legitimate grievances,
00:08:44.260 should be allowed to work it out without sneering from the CBC. I think the attacks against Western
00:08:50.980 separatism or whatever you're going to call it are going to be more brutal than anything you've
00:08:55.780 ever seen in Canada, because there's an underlying affection and even jealousy of Quebec in the
00:09:03.380 establishment. They have a very flavorful culture. They know who they are. They believe in something,
00:09:10.180 whereas Trudeau's world is post-national emptiness.
00:09:14.740 Yeah, but you just described things that I would say, qualities I would definitely attribute to
00:09:19.220 Albertans and that, you know, we are distinct. We do know exactly who we are. We are different. We
00:09:25.220 do have a certain flavor about us, but I think our flavor gets frowned upon because our flavor is
00:09:33.860 distinctively conservative.
00:09:35.780 You know, you're right. It's funny how a sense of nationhood comes together. To use Hong Kong as an
00:09:43.940 analogy, I think the struggle they're in for their values, who they are and who they are not has
00:09:51.220 forged a new Hong Kong identity. I think Alberta has an identity, but the battles it's going through
00:10:01.300 now is forging it more and the battles to come will make it even more distinctly so. And I think that
00:10:10.020 feeling, words like values, feelings, belonging, they're necessary if you want to start a country
00:10:18.420 or a movement. Otherwise, what are you? And Quebec was very good at doing that. They had the folk singers,
00:10:27.300 they had the artists, they had the intelligentsia, they had the professors, they had the dreamers
00:10:32.980 to envision what it could be like. I think Albertans are more engineers and geologists and accountants
00:10:40.340 that use the thinking part and not the feeling part. I'm just, the way our conversations are.
00:10:46.340 I think if Wexit is going to have a future, it needs to have both head and heart.
00:10:50.820 I think too, it's happening in a different time in a different place. We are in an explicitly
00:11:01.380 anti-conservative world. The media is anti-conservative. If we have someone who, I think the movement needs
00:11:09.460 sort of a Nigel Farage, that sort of charismatic leader who doesn't really care. But if that person
00:11:16.740 were to step forward, he's got to go through the media before he can ever get to the people to
00:11:23.860 change hearts and minds. Yeah, Nigel Farage didn't just come out of nowhere. He's been fighting this
00:11:29.220 fight for many years. And boy, was he vetted by the media, but he survived. And he was careful about
00:11:35.620 his reputation. There was a question that befuddled the federal conservatives a couple of weeks ago
00:11:41.940 when they had the first caucus meeting. I know for a fact there are MPs disgruntled and senators
00:11:46.740 disgruntled with Andrew Scheer. But the obvious point is you can't beat someone with no one. If you
00:11:52.500 don't like Scheer, who do you propose? Peter McKay. And so who is the person? Who's the indispensable man or
00:12:00.660 woman? Who is the person? It's hard to think of who that person is. And I don't think Brexit would have
00:12:10.660 succeeded were it not for Farage. I know it wouldn't have. Who is that person? The quintessential
00:12:18.660 Albertan right now is Jason Kenney and he's a federalist and he's a premier. So who would it be?
00:12:24.740 It's not Brian Jean. It's not one of the mayors. They're crazy. Is it a cabinet minister or former
00:12:31.860 cabinet minister? Is it a business leader like a Gwen Morgan or Brett Wilson? I don't know. And that's part
00:12:39.460 of the problem. Because in our politics we personify things in a leader. We need a champion.
00:12:48.100 And until that person is there, I don't know if the parade will be marshaled. It's sort of marching
00:12:56.100 off in all directions now. I'm brainstorming as I go here too, Sheila. I think that's what this is all
00:13:01.860 about was brainstorming. I guess my last question is what's next for us in all of this? Well, I was
00:13:09.860 very glad to do this. Totally sold out event today, standing room only. We had 500 tickets. They all
00:13:14.660 sold in less than a week. Almost sold out last night in Edmonton. That's pretty amazing. And by the way,
00:13:21.220 there were other Wexit style events going on same week. So the demand is there. What can we supply to
00:13:28.500 this demand? We can supply a forum. We can supply fairness. We had some logistics and operations.
00:13:36.020 You mentioned that maybe we would host an essay contest or something. Like there's things we can
00:13:41.540 do. I got to figure that out a bit. I don't know if we'll do anything else before Christmas.
00:13:46.980 It's only a month to go. But in the new year, I expect we'll dig in more on this. I want to take
00:13:52.180 the time to think about it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. If our viewers have thoughts.
00:13:57.540 People want something. There are some things we can do. And at the very least, we can be there
00:14:03.140 to give a fair shake to the people who are doing it in their own way. You and Kian were at Danny
00:14:08.180 Hozak's event. I think if we are journalists for other people, that's a very important role to play.
00:14:14.740 Like the Western report and Alberta report did for Preston Manning and the Reform Party in the 80s.
00:14:20.340 I think it's for us. I think our job is to just facilitate the conversation.
00:14:28.340 We have maybe access to people that these folks don't, you know, that we can bring the thinkers
00:14:35.700 to the table so that they can ask the questions. And frankly, I'm proud of what we pulled off here
00:14:41.540 tonight.
00:14:42.180 Oh, yeah. And we have assets we take for granted at the Rebel. We also have a large audience that I
00:14:54.820 think that we fit a lot of roles. And people trust us, too. You know, we're five years old,
00:15:01.700 almost. And we fought the fights that are important to Albertans, including oil and gas fights. You
00:15:07.860 personally have gone to the global warming conferences, for example. So I got to think
00:15:12.100 about it. I don't feel like I have a good answer for you right now. But it's a reminder that there's
00:15:20.020 a missing piece here and we can help provide it. Great. Stay with us. More up next after the break.
00:15:31.700 Justin Trudeau's Liberals have spent the last four years trying to use the United Nations as a proxy
00:15:38.660 to prevent us here at Rebel News from holding them to account at international conferences.
00:15:45.220 The Liberals have been using the UN to deny us credentials. But that hasn't prevented us from
00:15:51.700 doing the work we do to hold the government accountable for the policies they are drafting
00:15:57.460 behind closed doors in far-flung places. The UN Climate Change Conference is in Madrid,
00:16:04.420 Spain this year. And Kian Bexty and I are going together. Just take a look at this. This is my
00:16:11.220 video explaining why the UN banned us and why that ain't stopping us from crashing their expensive
00:16:18.500 Spanish party. Rebel News is headed to Spain to the UN Climate Change Conference. And boy,
00:16:23.940 the Liberal government won't be happy about it. Now, we won't be taking a carbon-neutral catamaran
00:16:29.860 like teenage truant climate activist Greta Thunberg. We need your help to get there the old-fashioned way.
00:16:41.860 Kian Bexty, tracking down Greta Thunberg in Edmonton and then confronting her adult handlers,
00:16:48.100 as well as my coverage of the Greta Thunberg climate rally, where we greeted her with our
00:16:53.780 crowd-funded How Dare You billboard truck, are two of our most seen videos of 2019. Why is that?
00:17:01.780 Well, it's because people are desperate for the other side of the story. The normal person's side of the
00:17:08.340 story. The minivan driving, hockey mom, oil patch dad, daily commute on bad roads and cold weather,
00:17:15.220 when six months of the year is winter side of the story. When the mainstream media and our politics
00:17:22.580 are just so saturated with one side of the climate change narrative. The narrative that a carbon tax on
00:17:28.820 everything you do will somehow change the weather. And because of our journalistic mission here at
00:17:36.580 Rebel News to tell the other side of the story, I've gone to the big annual United Nations climate
00:17:43.780 change conferences in Morocco, Bonn, Germany, and Katowice, Poland. Now these are meetings where
00:17:50.340 politicians, unelected bureaucrats, and international elites make policies and decisions in a far-off land
00:17:58.100 that make your life more expensive every single day back at home. And they want to do it behind closed
00:18:03.940 doors and without any scrutiny. And when I applied to go to my first UN conference, they tried to keep
00:18:11.540 me out by saying they do not accredit advocacy journalists, which is absolutely crazy because
00:18:17.220 the entire conference is full of pro-carbon tax journalists. What the UN meant was they weren't
00:18:22.900 going to accredit a pro-fossil fuel, anti-carbon tax, anti-global warming doomsday cult journalist
00:18:29.620 like myself. Now we fought that ban and they eventually let us in. I went to that first
00:18:35.860 conference in Morocco where I showed you the parking lots full of idling buses and the disposable
00:18:43.220 Potemkin village built in the middle of the Moroccan desert to house the thing. I also showed you how
00:18:49.300 this conference on using less of everything was watering the desert ground every morning to keep the dust
00:18:57.940 off the shoes of the delegates going into the climate change meetings. And I showed you what it was like
00:19:04.260 for the rest of Marrakesh outside of the conference. Oh yeah, and I also confronted a Canadian delegate and
00:19:11.620 his press secretary, an aboriginal chief from Manitoba who went to Morocco to bash the oil sands, one of the
00:19:19.780 largest vehicles for wealth and jobs for Canada's indigenous peoples. And for that, for telling the truth,
00:19:26.980 and for doing my job, I was banned from these conferences going forward at the request of the
00:19:33.540 Canadian government. Actually, it was because of my dangerous questions in Morocco that all rebel
00:19:39.540 journalists were banned from all UN conferences, including David Menzies, who tried to report on
00:19:45.780 the UN Compact for Migration Conference, incidentally, back in Marrakesh. Just look at this letter here.
00:19:53.300 This is the UN declining my request for media accreditation again, even though I jumped through
00:19:58.740 all of their hoops to get it. And this is my own government using the UN as a proxy to stop me from
00:20:04.420 reporting on things that matter deeply to Canadians that are happening in other countries. It reads,
00:20:10.340 decline due to complaints received about the organization from government delegates at COP22,
00:20:16.100 that's Morocco, concerning harassment. Now I've never harassed anybody in my entire life,
00:20:22.660 and I recorded all my interactions with people in Morocco. Contrarian questions amount to harassment
00:20:28.740 when the liberal government is on the receiving end of them, I guess. However, banning me for a false
00:20:36.260 and completely ridiculous reason has done nothing to prevent me from doing real journalism from these
00:20:42.260 conferences. And frankly, I'm a little glad to be outside the conference. Because when you're inside
00:20:48.900 of them, sure, the Wi-Fi is good and the air conditioning is great. But all you get is press
00:20:54.420 releases. And then you're stuck with a bunch of journalists who are happy to be contained and managed
00:21:01.140 and regurgitating the official narrative coming out of the conference completely verbatim. I think after
00:21:08.180 four years, you at home probably know that's not my style. When I went to Bonn, Germany and Poland,
00:21:15.540 I showed you all the crazy things that were happening outside the conferences. Like the hundreds of diesel
00:21:23.220 fueled heaters and light towers they were using to power their anti-fossil fuel conference. Like the
00:21:30.020 Greenpeace sailboat that was actually also powered by diesel. And the weirdo art installations that
00:21:37.220 accompany these conferences all across the cities they're in. And I'm going back this year, even
00:21:42.580 though yet again, they've declined my accreditation at the request of the Canadian government. The UN
00:21:48.660 might be able to keep me out of the boring inside of the conference, but there is still a ton of news
00:21:54.820 to find out there on the streets. The conference is in Madrid this December. And instead of going with
00:22:01.780 a videographer, I'm going with my friend and colleague, Kian Bexty. Two troublemaking rebels
00:22:08.660 are always better than one. And Kian is not afraid, as you know, to confront people and ask them tough
00:22:15.140 questions. Kian and I are also pretty self-contained. We are our own cameramen. We do most of our work out
00:22:22.980 in the field from our cell phones. We've rented an Airbnb and booked the cheapest flights we can find to
00:22:30.420 keep the costs of our trip low. But it will still cost us thousands and thousands of dollars for both
00:22:37.140 of us to get there and work and tell the other side of the story you won't learn about in those
00:22:42.660 regurgitated liberal press releases they call stories over at the CBC. Now, can you help us cover
00:22:50.100 the cost to go to Madrid? You can donate to offset the expenses of our trip at rebelun.com. While you're
00:22:57.540 there, you can see some of our previous work too. Now, we don't get a billion and a half dollars from
00:23:02.980 Justin Trudeau like the CBC does to do our journalism. And we will never take a penny and
00:23:09.140 bail out money from any government. We rely on the generous support of our supporters to do the work
00:23:15.860 that we do. We are fiercely independent. That's never going to change. We are going to track down the
00:23:21.620 newsmakers and show you what really goes on at these closed off conferences that cost the taxpayer
00:23:28.500 thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to send our politicians to. Kian and I are
00:23:35.460 accountability journalists and we are going to Madrid to continue that mission. If you can help us,
00:23:41.300 you can do that at that donation page, rebelun.com.
00:23:46.180 Mr. McClain, how are you? I'm great. Kian, how are you? Kian, nice to meet you. How was the ceremony?
00:23:55.460 I felt lovely, yeah. Thanks guys. What a terrific day. Lovely speech. Thanks. Thank you so much.
00:24:00.820 That's awesome. I was hoping I'd be able to present you with this petition. Okay.
00:24:05.460 It's 90,000 folks who signed it who support Don Cherry. Great. Who they watch your show and they're
00:24:11.620 disappointed that he was fired. Of course. They want your show. They want you, yourself and Don to be
00:24:18.980 standing up for veterans and they're really disappointed that you didn't stand up for him.
00:24:24.020 Right. So we're kind of curious with this this binder. We're kind of wondering if you think Don
00:24:30.660 is actually racist. Sorry, I don't know who you are. Do you think Don is actually a racist?
00:24:39.460 Excuse me. Excuse me. This is, this is, mom please. Excuse me. This is absolutely an
00:24:47.700 educational institution. Okay? No. That is unacceptable. Don't touch me.
00:24:54.340 You're grabbing me. Everything today has been respectful.
00:24:57.380 Sorry. What's your name? It doesn't matter what his name is.
00:25:00.100 No. Yeah. It doesn't matter. Are you, that's his wife here. Right?
00:25:04.340 Would I be able to give this to you? No. Okay.
00:25:06.740 This is a, well, you know what? I actually, I don't mind the support. Okay. I don't mind the support.
00:25:10.500 What, what we don't mind. It's not support. No, these are supporters. These are supporters of Don.
00:25:14.260 We are also a supporter of Don. I don't mind that. I, I, I, we appreciate that support. We really do.
00:25:19.300 But you're taking, but you are crucifying my husband as a result of that. There's sides.
00:25:24.740 I'm not crucifying. I'm sorry. I'm not. I'm not.
00:25:26.020 But you were very aggressive to him in a moment where that was unacceptable.
00:25:30.740 Do you think, did you see my husband? He was almost in tears. Do you think he wanted this to happen?
00:25:35.060 Why didn't he stand up for him? Stand up in what way?
00:25:37.780 Why wouldn't he quit his job? Why wouldn't he quit his job? Well, that really makes sense.
00:25:41.460 Because a Canadian saint was fired. For no reason. A saint?
00:25:44.980 Was, do you think he was, do you, sorry, do you think, do you think Don is racist?
00:25:50.100 Write a letter. Sorry, what's that? Do you think Don is racist?
00:25:54.260 I wouldn't say the word racist. Do I think he's a bigot? Possibly.
00:25:57.620 Do you think Don Cherry's a bigot? Possibly.
00:25:59.540 That is our Kian Bexty in Edmonton where Don Cherry's former coach's corner partner
00:26:06.340 was accepting an honorary doctorate of laws at the University of Alberta.
00:26:12.260 Kian popped in to hand McLean a copy of the some 90,000 plus signatures Canadians had offered in support of Don Cherry.
00:26:21.860 After Ron McLean threw him under the bus to save himself because Don was a little less than polished
00:26:27.380 while asking Canadians to just wear the poppy.
00:26:31.620 And we discovered what Ron's wife actually thinks of Don Cherry.
00:26:36.580 She called him a bigot.
00:26:37.780 On that video, on YouTube, Mike Hamelin writes,
00:26:41.700 After how many years, and she insults the man who helped and supported her husband.
00:26:47.060 What a disgrace.
00:26:48.740 Yeah, a little self-awareness from the McLeans would be nice.
00:26:53.220 No one would know Ron McLean's name, and Ron McLean's wife would not have the comfortable life
00:26:59.060 she enjoys without the larger-than-life, sometimes-unvarnished personality of one Don Cherry.
00:27:06.500 Nobody tuned in for Ron except, you know, maybe his wife.
00:27:10.500 SG1 shares the same sentiment, writing,
00:27:13.540 She owes her entire life to Don Cherry because Ron would still be reffing minor hockey if it wasn't for grapes.
00:27:21.540 Ms. Lilpig1 writes,
00:27:25.460 Do you think Carrie ever said this to Cherry or his wife when they would meet all those years?
00:27:32.580 It's easy to call people names when you don't have to look them in the eyes.
00:27:37.300 Well, Ms. Lilpig1, if that's even your real name.
00:27:41.260 We do know that Don Cherry watches our work, and he's even shared some of it on Twitter.
00:27:46.580 So if he didn't know what Ron McLean's wife felt about him after all these years, he certainly does now.
00:27:53.460 And Pip1 writes,
00:27:55.460 You were crucifying my husband. He was almost in tears.
00:28:00.020 Wow, the hyperbole, backstabbing, and victimization of this woman.
00:28:04.760 The only time opportunists find their spine is for their personal benefit, never for others.
00:28:10.420 Treacherous.
00:28:11.280 Good on you, Kian.
00:28:12.560 Isn't that fascinating? Ron's wife did turn Ron into the victim in all of this.
00:28:16.940 In reality, he's just receiving the righteous condemnation of his duplicitous self-serving behavior.
00:28:24.720 Well, everybody, that wraps up this relaxed fit, stretchy pants edition of Rebel Roundup.
00:28:30.960 Thanks, David, for trusting me with your show.
00:28:33.780 Thanks, folks at home, for tuning in.
00:28:35.700 Thank you in the office for turning this into a watchable episode.
00:28:39.760 And remember, without risk, there can be no glory.
00:28:46.940 We'll be right back.
