tonight i go through the proposals for the liberal party policy convention and there's
00:00:20.960
quite a few things in there that the liberals told me were just conspiracy theories then rebel news
00:00:26.240
quebec-based reporter alexa lavoie joins me to discuss what happened to her when she tried to go
00:00:32.300
to the liberal party policy convention it's may 4th 2023 i'm sheila gun reed but you're watching
00:00:39.100
the ezra levant show shame on you you censorious bug
00:00:46.600
the liberal policy convention is in full swing this weekend in ottawa it would have been
00:01:01.560
delightfully picketed by striking federal civil service workers but they just struck a deal to
00:01:08.520
go back to work which is too bad because i love when my political enemies in the big government
00:01:13.980
unions fight with my other political enemies in big government and the liberal party of canada
00:01:19.140
it would have been a wonderful death match wherein i hope for nobody to win but i guess we'll never get
00:01:25.900
to see how that all shakes out now as an aside at the liberal party policy convention two of the
00:01:33.140
absolute most unlikable women in all of politics are going to have what's called the fireside chat
00:01:39.200
hillary clinton and christia freeland are going to i don't know cackle till the roof comes down in
00:01:47.760
the venue as i remarked on twitter i think this is going to sound like two old ravens fighting over
00:01:53.660
a dead deer carcass in the ditch just a cacophony of cackling but there's no accounting for tastes and
00:02:00.280
liberals will indeed be interested in this anyway i thought i would go through some of the more extreme
00:02:05.720
i guess from the outside looking in policy initiatives being proposed to be adopted
00:02:10.920
at the liberal policy convention now some of these may never make it onto the books but since they're
00:02:18.140
being proposed they're pretty mainstream ideas within the liberal party of canada so let's take a
00:02:24.900
peek it's all online makes you wonder why the other journalists aren't doing this sort of thing
00:02:28.780
notable policy resolutions include a whole manner of social justice things including lowering the
00:02:37.860
voting age to 17 which i suspect is being proposed by people who are either 17 years old or who have
00:02:45.360
never actually met a 17 year old because how could you propose this if you've ever actually spoken to
00:02:51.800
a 17 year old anyway look at this lower the federal voting age to 17 years old sponsor liberal
00:02:58.500
party of canada alberta how embarrassing whereas youth in canada vote at lower rates than any other
00:03:05.480
age group whereas polling stations are often located at high schools a feature that could combat some of
00:03:11.100
the traditional challenges such as accessibility faced by potential voters whereas in 1970 the federal
00:03:17.540
voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in a bid to increase the voter turnout rates whereas past liberal
00:03:24.460
party of canada policy proposals lowering the federal voting age to 16 haven't been successful
00:03:29.900
and have proven unpalatable to the general public yeah no kidding whereas providing greater opportunities
00:03:36.920
to participate in the political process strengthens democracy whereas voting is habit forming and by
00:03:42.980
expanding access to the ballot box we can ensure strong civic turnouts for generations to come be it
00:03:49.040
resolved that the liberal party of canada urged the government of canada to amend section three of the
00:03:53.960
canada elections act to state that every person who is a canadian citizen and who on polling day is
00:04:00.540
17 years of age or older is qualified as an elector let's hope that one makes it to the dust bin of history
00:04:08.760
there's also a policy resolution to create 15 minute cities which the liberals and the liberal media keep
00:04:15.680
telling me is some form of conspiracy theory look at this creating livable walkable cities to fight
00:04:22.400
climate change sponsor liberal party of canada ontario well at least it's not alberta whereas
00:04:28.700
studies have shown that making cities more walkable and bikeable improves residents health and quality
00:04:33.760
of life decreases cost of living and allows for cities to more effectively meet emission reduction
00:04:39.180
goals whereas across the world countries are attempting to make their cities more walkable and bikeable
00:04:44.400
in an effort to achieve the benefits mentioned whereas in order to remain economically socially and culturally
00:04:51.980
competitive with the rest of the world the government of canada must incentivize cities to enact policies
00:04:58.020
that make their communities more walkable and bikeable whereas cities often face the perception that
00:05:04.240
prioritizing active transportation and greening in commercial areas will have a negative financial
00:05:10.840
impact on businesses be it resolved that the liberal party of canada will urge the government of canada to create a
00:05:16.620
fund of course there's money involved that will cover the cost to incentivize the closure
00:05:22.700
of major commercial streets to car traffic and test the scalability of such projects across cities in canada do you
00:05:31.260
want your city to be one of those test markets for major street closures in the name of climate change this
00:05:38.380
is why i don't live in a city amusingly there's also a whistleblower protection resolution
00:05:44.620
which i think is pretty funny as the liberals are on a bit of a witch hunt right now to hunt down
00:05:49.900
whomever in the security apparatus is leaking information about just how much benefit the
00:05:55.980
liberals are reaping from chinese communist government intervention to win elections here in canada
00:06:03.260
there's a disinformation resolution calling on the government to have power to control what online
00:06:09.260
news sources are allowed to even post let's just call this the rebel news resolution shall we look
00:06:15.500
at this combating disinformation in canada sponsor liberal party of canada british columbia bc hang your
00:06:22.620
heads in shame whereas the united nations secretary general recognizes disinformation as an existential risk
00:06:30.220
to humanity whereas online information sources are the source of most disinformation aimed at and or
00:06:38.060
available to canadians whereas those who produce misinformation seek to undermine trust in people
00:06:43.820
and institutions including mainstream media and governments no i think the mainstream media and
00:06:48.140
governments are doing that on their own undermining their own trust anyway i'll shut up let's keep going
00:06:53.420
whereas one recent poll found 44 of canadians believe much of the information from news organizations is
00:07:00.940
false and 71 believe official government accounts of events are untrustworthy
00:07:07.740
whereas the demand for information 24 7 has increased the need for programming contemporaneously with the loss of
00:07:15.100
advertising revenue to online platforms whereas to reduce costs mainstream media no longer employs as
00:07:21.660
many reporters with extensive knowledge of particular subject areas and fills content with opinion programming
00:07:28.540
rather than news cbc and whereas the result has devalued mainstream media as a source of news and information
00:07:36.140
be resolved that the liberal party of canada request the government provide additional public funds to
00:07:40.940
support advertisement free news and information reporting by canadian media through an arm's length
00:07:47.020
non-partisan mechanism great does this mean more money for the cbc and then more money for the rest of
00:07:53.420
them i think so request the government explore options to hold online information services accountable
00:08:01.580
for the veracity of material published on their platforms and to limit publication only to material
00:08:07.900
whose sources can be traced so the government is going to decide if your news is accurate if the
00:08:13.740
liberal party gets their way and the liberal party is in charge so they just might
00:08:17.340
right and they'll hold you accountable what does that mean what are you going to do to us the
00:08:23.020
separate fast track resolutions in the policy proposals also include a green transition for
00:08:29.340
the prairie provinces wherein the liberals from their power base in the laurentians transition
00:08:35.660
hard-working prairie people into abject poverty by phasing out our jobs and our main industry
00:08:42.060
while the liberals also continue to buy oil and gas from some of the more odious regimes of the world
00:08:48.140
seems reasonable there's also a call to export canada's energy to nato partners now i'm in
00:08:54.700
agreement with this but not just to our nato partners for the sake of fueling a war machine but for the
00:09:00.780
sake of starving those aforementioned odious regimes of the money they need to oppress human rights and civil
00:09:06.860
liberties this is stuff conservatives have been saying for years it's the whole premise behind
00:09:12.940
ezra's book ethical oil look at this energy export strategy for nato sponsor liberal party of canada
00:09:19.740
saskatchewan whereas canada is a global defender of democratic values economic freedom equality and
00:09:26.140
self-determination whereas russia's reckless and unprovoked invasion of ukraine offends all of those
00:09:32.380
values whereas canada is working steadfastly with our allies and nato to provide military and
00:09:37.420
financial support to ukraine whereas russia is seeking to reduce nato resolve in europe by cutting
00:09:42.140
off supplies of energy to our allies whereas germany and other nato allies are working to reduce
00:09:47.980
dependence on russian energy whereas canada is able to expand its ability to provide our european
00:09:54.860
nato allies with energy in the form of liquefied natural gas alongside exports of renewable energy
00:10:00.780
sources and liquefied hydrogen be it resolved that the liberal party of canada will develop a policy
00:10:06.380
framework to expeditiously build critical infrastructure to enable canada to export energy
00:10:13.500
to our nato allies didn't justin trudeau just say there was no business case for providing canada's
00:10:24.140
natural gas to europe didn't he just say that well even his own party disagrees with his stupid
00:10:32.300
comments and i mean there's some extreme irony here of offering up our alberta produced energy to nato
00:10:39.260
after also proposing a policy initiative to phase out alberta oil and gas like pick a lane you guys
00:10:47.180
there's also some irony in offering up our oil and gas to nato while carbon taxing canadians at the
00:10:52.860
pump on the very same oil and gas right and naturally there's a proposal called truth in politics
00:10:59.900
which will potentially create a review board where the liberals get to use the machinery of government
00:11:06.780
to fact check their political critics what could possibly go wrong there i mean let's just call it
00:11:11.580
the ministry of truth review board and of course the liberals want mandatory voting so first of all they
00:11:17.900
lower the voting age so that kids without a grasp of reality are suddenly voting and then will also
00:11:25.020
simultaneously force them to vote that's not rigging the system or anything although it wouldn't be a
00:11:30.620
system if the left weren't constantly trying to rig it against reality up next after the break rebel
00:11:37.100
news quebec reporter alexa lavoie joins me to discuss what happened to her when she tried to report
00:11:43.900
on the liberal policy convention i think you know exactly how it went stay with us
00:12:01.100
journalists inform canadians and hold governments accountable their work is independent and
00:12:05.900
indispensable as they continue to face harassment censorship and violence simply for doing their
00:12:11.020
jobs let me say this we will always support and promote the freedom of the press now i'm reading
00:12:17.420
from my phone here justin trudeau's tweet from well yesterday on world press freedom day but once
00:12:27.180
his statement was tested he failed completely because rebel news sent a journalist alexa lavoie our
00:12:35.340
quebec based superstar to the liberal party policy convention and well take a look at what happened to her
00:12:43.740

00:14:40.700
doing okay thank you yes or not is it true or not i'm asking you it's time to go so joining me now is
00:14:49.020
alexa lavoie unfortunately one of the most assaulted journalists in this entire country to describe
00:14:54.220
what happened to her when she tried to go to the liberal party policy convention now hi alexa thanks
00:15:00.780
so much for joining me now we were sending you there because there was a completely different story kind
00:15:06.540
of right we had heard that the public sector union peace act would be um picketing the liberal party
00:15:15.420
policy convention and that sounds lovely to me where my enemies are just yelling at each other
00:15:20.540
and i stand back and watch it happen so i was kind of looking forward to that a little bit but a deal
00:15:25.340
was struck with the union of course so that they didn't embarrass the liberals at their policy convention
00:15:31.500
i think there's some of that happening there so you went there with another story in mind but it became
00:15:37.100
about press freedom tell us what happened so we arrived there and we were like oh okay um there is
00:15:45.180
a problem because you have nobody outside of the shaw center and i said okay i'm going to google it
00:15:51.740
and i saw that just before i arrived an agreement with the cra workers and the the government have been
00:16:01.980
made and so i was like okay so i'm going to just look around and look inside since uh the event was not
00:16:09.580
started yet we went up a bunch of benevolent was working and we were like okay maybe we can like
00:16:16.540
try to interview a couple of people who were going to assist to the convention and so during i was
00:16:24.860
waiting since we were there pretty early um a security agent from the shaw center came to see us and asked
00:16:33.980
can you just wear your accreditation really nice person just watching like if uh everything is okay
00:16:40.300
and because we were just sitting alone and so we were on our way to go and try to get our accreditation
00:16:49.740
but people you need to know that same if we apply we would be refused and refused and refused
00:16:56.860
and this is how the liberal work with ruben news we get denied access all the times same if we write
00:17:04.700
multiple emails so um i took my chance i asked home the way couple of questions to the attendees and
00:17:14.300
during i was interviewing my last attendees really nice person by the way at the end um two people who work for
00:17:23.900
justin trudeau came towards guillaume my camera person asking him to stop filming and so sorry you
00:17:33.740
guys are outside no no we were inside just just oh not in the room we needed in we were in the
00:17:40.140
shop center we were like at the main floor and so i was like um there is a problem and they say yeah you
00:17:47.660
cannot film if you're not accredited i say yeah but all i get accredited they say but you need to apply
00:17:53.500
online and i say oh i can do my job if your party keep denying independent journalists as ribbon news
00:18:01.420
to assist to what is going on with the liberal party so all independent news can do their job properly
00:18:09.660
if you stop them to do so and so after an argumentation the i asked them what is your name and
00:18:18.460
what is your position and she didn't want it to tell me the the woman but the man say i'm the director
00:18:24.780
of the party and um finally now he say for which outlet do you work and i know he knew i know he knew
00:18:33.100
he just wanted to to confirm so i said for ribbon news uh and the answer was like oh it's because
00:18:39.900
your your organization is extreme right wing news and you have nothing to do here so i will ask you to
00:18:50.140
leave now and i asked i asked him which news do you say that is extreme far right name me one and i will
00:19:03.340
leave peacefully the place name me name one news that we publish that is extreme far right and he never
00:19:11.340
wanted to answer i say do you watch what we are probably publishing for saying that do you know really
00:19:17.660
what we work on and he didn't answer and obviously that person probably never see any piece of what we
00:19:27.580
we produce we produce he just he just repeat what he have been told to say that revenues you cannot
00:19:36.700
have them because they are extreme far right because they go don't go in the same narrative that we are
00:19:42.380
going so they are a threat for the liberal party so get them out can you imagine the liberal outrage
00:19:51.580
and you would get a statement from justin trudeau himself if the conservative party of canada
00:19:57.660
kicked out a female reporter from i don't know press progress or cbc or one of the left-wing
00:20:06.220
media groups vice whatever if vice is even still open they would be calling names they would be saying
00:20:12.860
you know this is censorious you don't care about free speech you don't care about the free press
00:20:17.340
and you're sexist you're bullying these female journalists but they do it to you repeatedly justin
00:20:23.420
trudeau himself has done this to you repeatedly so i'm surprised you got as far as you did into the
00:20:29.100
policy convention quite frankly and i think your little button had something to do with it oh yeah
00:20:34.860
i receive a nice gift but as i say the first question i asked to the the two staff i say do are we disturbing
00:20:43.980
anything do uh we are actually making trouble and they say no it just we we go by the rules that you
00:20:50.940
need to be accredited but why are you refusing us to be accredited if we are here doing what we should
00:20:59.900
do by doing our job not causing any problem doing normal journalism just asking normal questions to
00:21:08.940
the people why are you refusing us to be there if we were just acting as every journalist because we are
00:21:19.020
just as other journalists it's just because we are not showing the same nice perfectly thing about
00:21:26.620
justin trudeau how nice it is when we show actually the other side yeah i mean we're not bought off and
00:21:34.860
colonized by justin trudeau i was going through the policy initiatives that are proposed they're going to
00:21:40.300
be voted on but the idea that these things are even being proposed by constituency associations and you
00:21:47.580
know liberal party organizations i i think it's ontario behind this one that they want a panel
00:21:57.980
with like a truth in politics panel um to decide what's honest uh of your critics to say about you
00:22:06.940
they're called they've called for more funding for the media in their policy initiatives and they've also
00:22:12.940
called for um consequences whatever that means to hold online publishers to account for what the liberals
00:22:21.580
decide is disinformation so how they treated you is completely in line with the policy proposals
00:22:28.700
they're proposing this weekend and i think with bill c11 that passed and all this regulation that's
00:22:36.460
coming up because it's not it's just the beginning the the bill c11 i think is just going to get worse so
00:22:43.820
i encourage everybody please go to subscribe to rebelnews.com because if we get sensor in every
00:22:50.700
platform at least we get our platform yeah and that's exactly why we have that little pop-up when you go to the
00:22:59.260
rebelnews.com website we have a little pop-up and we encourage people to drop their email in there
00:23:05.820
because we need to stay in touch with you because we don't even know what c11 is going to do to us
00:23:11.900
they've passed it and they said now we're going to build the regulations into it so how do you even
00:23:18.380
fight back against censorship when they haven't even told us how exactly they are going to censor
00:23:24.060
censor us but what we do know is the entire internet is now under the control of a government
00:23:30.460
that will not allow one single female journalist to ask a non-compliant question it's probably my
00:23:39.100
second question when i ask the people if they think that justin trudeau is the best leader to
00:23:45.340
represent the liberal party the answer i got some is hilarious you know it's funny
00:23:53.980
that's a great question alexa i am very curious if they are satisfied with him especially as
00:24:01.180
the scandals regarding his political contamination by the chinese communists just keep piling up and
00:24:07.340
piling up i'm curious what the grassroots think uh because i know how conservatives are when the when
00:24:14.300
we don't like the leader we're like throw them out the door get rid of them right now get gone get
00:24:18.940
into the dustbin of history um but the liberals don't seem to have that same mindset unless unless
00:24:25.820
they're getting there i'm curious i can't wait to see that report i i have just one answer that i got
00:24:31.580
and i was like and the person was like but who else like nobody else then better than him that's
00:24:41.180
is actually really like sad like cancer when you say that you have nothing nobody else than him that
00:24:47.740
can do the job yeah what does that say about the depth of talent in the liberal party when justin
00:24:55.740
trudeau is the best that they can put up like i suppose there's krista freeland but um
00:25:02.380
not sure about that one better yeah i don't think she'd be better she cackled as she stole bank
00:25:07.580
accounts from people alexa i look very much forward to your report thank you for always
00:25:13.340
working so hard and and really putting yourself out there in the interest of press freedom uh i i
00:25:19.660
between when david menzies you might be the most assaulted journalists in this country um and oh you
00:25:25.660
know it's a net you guys are neck and neck for probably the most censored too you've been censored
00:25:31.100
by justin trudeau himself who refused to take your questions at a debate wherein we had to sue to get
00:25:36.300
in so um we know that um you intimidate justin trudeau strong women generally do and i think he
00:25:44.780
experienced his interaction with you a little differently than you did no i certainly remember
00:25:50.780
my face now i don't think you could forget it alexa thanks so much for coming on the show
00:25:56.780
we'll talk very very soon stay with us your letters to ezra read by me up after the break
00:26:06.300
friends if you'd like to help us stand against justin trudeau's attempts to control what you can
00:26:18.220
see say and view on the internet please go to stop c11.com and add your name to the growing list of
00:26:26.620
canadians who reject justin trudeau's north korean style attempts to control the internet now today's
00:26:33.580
letters or at least this next few come to us on ezra's massive incredible scoop yesterday
00:26:43.020
now the scoop was made possible through access to information filing we are only able to do access
00:26:49.180
to information filing through your generous donations to a very special website that helps
00:26:55.020
offset our filing fees and our research fees is rebel investigates.com it allows us to file for
00:27:01.580
these documents get a little bit of research help to go through them and this is what ezra found he
00:27:08.940
found that the cbc's ceo catherine tate who by the way lives in new york she isn't even canadian content
00:27:18.940
she was pressuring twitter to censor users and she did this in a couple of different ways kind of
00:27:27.420
overtly but also kind of passively she suggested well maybe if you don't censor those people
00:27:33.900
maybe we just won't spend any advertising dollars with you and at the time this was pre-elon musk
00:27:39.660
takeover twitter was definitely cash scrap strapped excuse me but she also said well maybe maybe i could
00:27:49.420
ask the federal government to bring in censorship legislation nice internet you got there wouldn't
00:27:57.260
it be a shame if something happened to it wink wink wink that's what catherine tate was doing unless
00:28:02.460
twitter started censoring the users that she just didn't want to hear from so anyway we published those
00:28:09.180
documents in full and the epoch times has picked up the story i await the mainstream media to pick up the
00:28:16.540
story but i'm not sure they will because i'm pretty certain they're probably doing the same thing
00:28:22.540
to social media platforms it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever rational thinker writes we all knew
00:28:28.700
these were going to come out eventually nobody believed they didn't exist for even a second i agree
00:28:34.220
with you i'm very curious to know if there are twitter files as we saw from the united states
00:28:43.420
that will be made public i did see that elon musk responded to ezra's story yesterday so maybe now
00:28:52.780
he's turned his eyes north to see what the company was doing before he came along in conjunction with
00:29:02.300
the federal government and the i guess the communications arm of the federal government that we call the cbc
00:29:10.140
high and salty rights nobody in government is complaining about the abuse rebel news and true
00:29:15.420
north journalists endure on a daily basis most of it is gross and a lot of it is physical there is no
00:29:20.860
network in the country that works harder each day to bring us up to speed on daily events thank you
00:29:27.820
you just saw the interview that i did with alexa lavoie it's almost and it makes me sad to say it but it has
00:29:35.340
almost become a rite of passage here at rebel news to be censored by someone in government or some
00:29:41.980
politician it's happened to alexa it's happened to me it's happened to david um it's happened to drea
00:29:47.660
it's happened to tamara it has even happened to our news writer alex dolly wall it's happened to adam it's
00:29:54.940
happened to um our former staff and there's a reason they censor just us and it's because they know that
00:30:03.020
even though we are always on our best behavior at these events the most dangerous thing we are going
00:30:07.900
to do is ask a question that the people at home care about and they know cbc will never do that or
00:30:13.980
for that matter the rest of the mainstream media on ezra's interview with mark morano from climate
00:30:19.340
depot the other day on britain promoting bugs as food heather jones writes i will starve before i eat
00:30:26.220
damn bugs now heather i don't know if you know this but i did a story a little while ago
00:30:31.020
explaining how bugs are a real disease vector uh they carry parasites that are transmissible to
00:30:41.180
humans and it is really dangerous for these massive bug farms gross i can't even call them a real farm
00:30:47.580
like a farm it's bug factory i guess that their parasites can spread to the food chain so
00:30:56.140
for you and i heather we would never eat bugs right because we wouldn't i mean it's gross why
00:31:03.260
would i eat a bug i can eat a steak or eat some venison there's deer in the backyard
00:31:09.100
but for those of us who wouldn't eat a bug our food chain could be contaminated from parasites that
00:31:17.820
spread from these bug factories to our cattle or even to us and uh i don't i don't think that we
00:31:27.100
truly recognize just the extreme biohazard these bug farm facilities have the potential to be it's
00:31:35.100
quite frightening actually i think you'd think we would have learned something about biosecurity over
00:31:39.820
the last uh three years right we've got another letter to us that's alberta focus so i'm happy to
00:31:45.980
read this one it's from brian h who writes just finished watching your segment with your guests
00:31:51.420
discussing the rcmp and alberta possibly replacing them with their own provincial police service one of
00:31:57.020
the stats you put up showed an increase in rural crime and i believe the reason for the increase
00:32:01.340
not only in alberta but saskatchewan manitoba as well is the on-duty mounties go to bed around 1am
00:32:07.020
i don't know i i've seen them out later uh that means if you have a crime being committed on your
00:32:13.500
property at 2am after calling the emergency number which isn't always 911 in rural canada the
00:32:19.100
appropriate mountie needs to be woken up and then he or she needs to put on all their gear get the
00:32:23.980
dispatch report and location then travel out to the location which could be over half an hour away
00:32:29.180
plus they are probably going out there solo with backup being who knows how far there when seconds
00:32:36.300
count the rcmp are only minutes away it's sad i don't know when they go to bed i don't know if
00:32:40.460
that's true or not but what i can tell you is there are a lot of things in in your letter that i know to
00:32:47.820
be true because i am a rural alberton and i live a half an hour from the closest police station and a
00:32:54.140
lot can happen to me and my family in a half an hour and so um by the time the police respond the crime
00:33:02.060
is over and that's why i'm such an advocate for firearms rights and the ability for canadians
00:33:07.740
particularly rural canadians but all canadians to be able to defend themselves and not outsource
00:33:16.300
their personal safety to somebody else with a gun when the best person i think to defend your life
00:33:21.660
with a gun is probably you well everybody that's the show for tonight thank you so much for tuning in
00:33:27.020
thank you to everybody in studio in toronto who's going to work very very hard to put
00:33:31.820
this show together that i just threw together um and as uh ezra always says keep fighting for freedom
