Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you from Guacatá, Mexico.
00:00:04.520
Now, normally I love spending a Friday interviewing your favourite rebels with their very best commentaries of the week,
00:00:10.180
but Ezra has sent me south to Mexico to meet up with the caravan that is going north,
00:00:16.560
and it's a very important story, and you can catch my reports at caravanreports.com.

In the meantime, check out these letters some of you sent in about a different kind of Mexican caravan
00:00:31.160
we encountered on the eve of Halloween in downtown Toronto.
00:01:13.560
We had a whole group dressed up as the Mexican caravan people.
00:01:19.800
Okay, full disclosure, folks, that wasn't the real caravan of migrants making its way to the U.S.
00:01:25.940
Rather, I was just doing a streeter in downtown Toronto regarding Halloween and cultural appropriation.
00:01:32.680
And people who looked like they could have been part of the caravan happened to meander by.
00:01:41.000
In any event, here's what some of you had to say about the segment.
00:01:48.000
L-M-A-O, was that just a group of regular Hispanic people he said was dressed up as a Mexican caravan?
00:01:56.480
Well, Unuseful Idiot, in my defense, they were indeed chanting Viva Mexico.
00:02:07.520
I actually spat my tea out when he asked if they were part of the caravan.
00:02:12.740
Well, alas, Tat 24, I regret to inform you that we here at The Rebel are not responsible for any keyboard damage.
00:02:27.560
Well, you know, Nice Lady, I think the fatal flaw in the strategy for the real caravan
00:02:32.680
is that they didn't book a flight to a U.S. municipality near the Canadian border
00:02:37.940
and then simply walk into Canada at a so-called irregular border crossing.
00:02:44.160
Not only would they be welcomed into our dominion, thanks to the Justin Trudeau liberals,
00:02:49.100
but the Royal Canadian Bellhop Police would even carry their bags.
00:02:56.560
Viva Mexico, said the guy living safely in Canada.
00:03:03.760
The Trudeau liberals have made so many changes to the lyrics of O Canada
00:03:08.100
that I've been reduced to humming our national anthem rather than singing it.
00:03:15.100
And better yet, Ryan, they didn't beat me like a red-headed stepchild for being so cheeky.
00:03:34.920
I guess that proves they aren't part of the real caravan after all.
00:03:49.740
She didn't notice the logo for the Fat Bastard Burrito Company franchise that I was standing next to.
00:03:56.260
I think that would have really made her go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
00:04:00.920
Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup, albeit an abbreviated one.
00:04:05.380
When I return from my Mexican assignment, we'll have a regular Rebel Roundup for you.
00:04:10.500
In the meantime, folks, don't forget to visit caravanreports.com.

And until next week, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory.
