Hello, my rebels. In today's podcast, I take you through various passages, about a dozen passages,
00:00:05.660
from the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruling against Jonathan, a.k.a. Jessica Yaniv,
00:00:13.620
the trans-extremist who kept demanding that immigrant women wax his cojones.
00:00:21.080
It's quite a ruling. Unbelievable, the things they say about him. Better late than never,
00:00:28.580
of course, the Human Rights Tribunal was complicit in his persecution of these women.

00:00:56.040
here's the podcast. Tonight, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal smashes Jonathan Yaniv, the fake woman
00:01:17.660
who insisted real women wax his gear. I'll take you through their decision. It's October 25th,
00:01:24.540
and this is the Ezra Levant. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I
00:01:31.500
know? There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say
00:01:37.240
in the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:47.200
The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal is probably the worst human rights tribunal in the country,
00:01:53.820
and I've studied them. They're all bad. I was taken before the Alberta Human Rights Commission
00:01:58.520
for publishing some cartoons. The Federal Human Rights Commission literally sent their own staff
00:02:03.620
to join neo-Nazi groups, where they posted hundreds of racist comments. I mean, they're abominable.
00:02:11.360
I remember when I was writing my best-selling book about all these commissions called Shakedown,
00:02:15.880
I encountered this one case in B.C. involving a McDonald's restaurant, where an employee said
00:02:21.280
she suddenly couldn't wash her hands. A McDonald's employee. She just said she couldn't.
00:02:27.960
And McDonald's actually took her to an allergist and took her to a dermatologist and tried to help
00:02:33.360
her. Look, there's simply no way to work at a fast-food restaurant without washing your hands.
00:02:39.380
So they gave her a nice severance and said goodbye, but she took them to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal,
00:02:47.140
and they said that McDonald's was discriminating against her, that she had the human right not to
00:02:54.640
wash her hands. I swear to God. And she won 50 grand. And more than that, the Human Rights Tribunal
00:03:02.440
actually ordered McDonald's not to force anyone else to wash their hands in the same circumstances.
00:03:08.120
Now, I am certain that McDonald's ignored those idiots, but that is how dumb the Human Rights Tribunal
00:03:16.420
is in B.C. But even those moron, even those kangaroo courts, even those jokes, those unjust clowns,
00:03:29.160
even they have their limits. And their limit was reached by Jonathan Yaniv, a man who now calls himself
00:03:35.200
Jessica Yaniv, who tweets about having his period, his menstrual cycle, and things like that.
00:03:43.600
I don't think he's crazy. I think it's an act, a pervy act, to access women's change rooms, where he takes
00:03:54.700
photos, a pervy act to get access to naked teenagers, who he invites to swimming pool parties, and most
00:04:04.800
grossly, where he books appointments with estheticians who are used to giving women bikini waxes, and he books
00:04:12.460
his appointments as a woman, pretending to be a woman, claiming to be a woman. Then he shows up as a man
00:04:18.580
and insists that they wax them, and that they touch him, and do to him what he wants. And often, by the
00:04:24.980
way, those estheticians happen to be immigrant women working from home. He literally comes to their house,
00:04:30.260
and he does this again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
00:04:34.520
and again, and when they say no, he demands money from them. He sues them at, you guessed it, the BC Human
00:04:41.480
Rights Tribunal. I mean, if you get 50 grand for not wanting to wash your hands as a McDonald's employee,
00:04:49.060
for the human right not to have to wash your hand before touching a hamburger, why not? I mean, it's not
00:04:55.180
like he has to pay for anything. It's all governed, all covered by the government, and they do say he has
00:05:01.180
a right because they're discriminating against him on the basis of gender identity. He says he's not a
00:05:07.180
woman. He said he's a woman, excuse me. He's not, but he says he is. He says he's a trans woman, and he
00:05:14.700
says that's the law now. So he took all these women to the BC Human Rights Tribunal, and he managed to get
00:05:21.560
them prosecuted, to let him prosecute them in secret, as in, he got to hide his name. He actually
00:05:32.380
played the victim. He claimed he was in danger, so he managed to get a publication ban on his own
00:05:39.040
lawsuits, so he could continue to go out there and harass and entrap other women. This happened.
00:05:46.520
Well, it also happened that he finally got the ruling from the BC Human Rights Tribunal,
00:05:52.500
and he lost, and it is glorious. Now, I say again, this is still a kangaroo court. It is still a farce,
00:06:01.060
a clown show. This is the Human Rights Tribunal member, Devin Cousineau, who heard the case. She is a
00:06:08.660
cookie-crazy nut herself. She's a radical herself, who has issued extremist rulings in cases very much like
00:06:14.960
this one before, in favor of Morgaine Ogre, a well-named trans extremist from BC. So this Human
00:06:22.040
Rights Tribunal kook is out there all the way, but Jonathan Yaniv was just a bridge too far,
00:06:27.680
so I would like to go through the ruling of this kangaroo court, the BC Human Rights Tribunal,
00:06:33.380
as written by the chief kangaroo herself, Devin Cousineau, because you've got to be like a 10th degree
00:06:39.260
black belt in the crazy department for even Devin Cousineau to say you've gone too far.
00:06:46.520
But we know that. We've seen Yaniv and his crazy mom attack our own David Menzies, too. Just nuts.
00:06:55.640
So the ruling is out. Yaniv had taken all these estheticians to the Human Rights Tribunal,
00:07:04.760
and he lost. And he has to pay each of the estheticians $2,000 for his harassment of them.
00:07:11.520
That's very, very rare in human rights land. Normally, nuisance suits are unpunished, because
00:07:16.240
really, they're all nuisance suits at the Human Rights Tribunal. What do you think that McDonald's
00:07:20.480
thing was? But this was so deeply damaging to the Human Rights Tribunals themselves, to their
00:07:25.040
reputation themselves, to show the world that they could be hijacked in this way. This was really
00:07:29.820
about self-preservation by the BC Human Rights Tribunal. So that's how it ends. He lost. But
00:07:35.380
let me tell you how the ruling begins. Here's the very first paragraph in this 60-page ruling. See,
00:07:42.000
Yaniv isn't just the crazy one. So is the tribunal. Let me read it to you.
00:07:45.340
Jessica Yaniv is a transgender woman. All of the respondents operate businesses which offer
00:07:52.860
waxing services. Miss Yaniv requested waxing services from each of the respondents. In five
00:08:01.220
cases, she requested waxing of her scrotum. In two, she requests waxing of her arms or legs. In each
00:08:08.400
case, she told the respondent that she was a transgender woman, and the respondent refused to
00:08:13.040
provide Miss Yaniv with service. Miss Yaniv says that this refusal to serve her is discrimination
00:08:19.460
on the basis of her gender identity and expression, in violation of Section 8 of the Human Rights
00:08:24.320
Code. Okay, let's start. It's Jonathan. It's not Jessica. I suppose we can call ourselves whatever
00:08:33.740
we want to. It's a free country. I can call myself the King of Spain and insist that you call me
00:08:39.560
Your Highness. But imagine writing all this with a straight face. In five cases, she requested waxing
00:08:49.560
of her scrotum. That's like saying in five cases, the fish requested that its wings be waxed. See,
00:08:59.880
the thing is, fish don't have wings, even if they desperately want them. And women don't have,
00:09:05.160
I'm sorry to get biological here, they don't have the male gear. And if the Human Rights Tribunal
00:09:12.640
pretends that they do, she, her scrotum, sorry, how is that any less nutty than Yaniv? Any less a group
00:09:23.300
of con men than he is? Well, the answer is in the very last sentence I quoted you in that very first
00:09:30.620
paragraph. Miss Yaniv says that this refusal to the server is discrimination on the basis of her
00:09:37.080
gender identity and expression in violation of Section 8 of the Human Rights Code. And you know,
00:09:42.340
that's right. If you pass a law that says people have to provide a service to someone, regardless of
00:09:50.080
their gender identity and expression, if you seriously make that the law, then how is what Yaniv did
00:09:56.300
crazy? I mean, sex is biological. It's a DNA thing. It's a genes thing. You're a man or you're
00:10:02.660
a woman. There are only two options. And it's not a matter of opinion. Gender used to simply mean the
00:10:07.820
expression of that sex, girlish things, boyish things. It was really a synonym for sex. But gender
00:10:13.260
identity and gender expression, that's just what you say you are or what you pretend you are.
00:10:19.780
That's not inherent. I don't think anyone in the world would actually think Yaniv is a woman. And
00:10:27.560
the fact that he's still got his twig and berries says he's not really even pretending that hard,
00:10:32.100
is he? He's just a pervy guy who wants strange women to have to touch his junk. So Yaniv is crazy,
00:10:39.740
or actually not crazy. I take that back. He's cunning. Here's a weirdo who gamed the system. He
00:10:47.220
couldn't get a date as a man. He couldn't get a woman to touch him. So he just called himself a
00:10:52.900
woman and demanded that estheticians touch him or face an extortionate lawsuit. 25 years ago,
00:10:58.520
that would get a guy beaten up by the woman's brother or husband or father, and maybe the police
00:11:04.260
would come around. But it's 2019 now. And if the police come around now, it's to arrest the
00:11:09.240
estheticians for being an anti-trans bigot. I mean, Yaniv is gross, but it's the human
00:11:17.080
rights tribunal who forced these women through a trial. Who's the bigger weirdo? Now, you'll know
00:11:23.080
that Yaniv and his mother are pathological liars. They're grifters. Let me give you just one
00:11:27.160
example of a fact upon which I base my opinion. You know he pretends to be disabled, too, right?
00:11:34.020
Here he is on a mobility scooter, threatening one of our reporters, of course.
00:11:38.760
Sorry, that was another reporter. He threatens our reporter in this clip. And here he is getting on a
00:12:21.540
No, I'm not harassing you. I'm just asking you a question.
00:12:25.840
Okay, let, let, let, let, let, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's get in here.
00:12:32.280
So, um, he pretends to be disabled, but here he is, running like a bull.
00:12:41.660
Viewers of this space have noticed footage in which, uh, Jonathan Yaniv is breaking into, uh, a trot that resembles tryouts for the 100-meter dash.
00:13:08.520
It's a scam to get free transit without having to pay for a taxi.
00:13:12.300
He's a schemer and a scammer, and so is his weird mom.
00:13:16.120
So here's what the Human Rights Kangaroo Court said.
00:13:19.260
I found aspects of Miss Yaniv's testimony to be disingenuous and self-serving.
00:13:26.620
In cross-examination, she was evasive and argumentative and contradicted herself.
00:13:34.980
Let me read a little bit about how this predator works.
00:13:37.520
I'm going to read to you, and this is just a short excerpt, believe you me, this is 60 gross pages long, and I read the whole thing.
00:13:44.560
I'm just going to read you a short excerpt about how Yaniv targeted one particular woman, a Sikh immigrant woman, who didn't want to wax men.
00:13:58.720
Miss Benipal operates a salon business from a small room in her home.
00:14:03.180
During business hours, she is alone in the home with her children.
00:14:06.860
She testified that she runs this business to earn some extra money to support her children.
00:14:11.180
I'm going to pick this up midway through this part of the ruling.
00:14:17.180
Miss Benipal assumed that male parts meant penis and scrotum.
00:14:21.980
She has not been trained to wax a scrotum and said that the request made her feel nervous and uncomfortable.
00:14:28.960
During the hearing, she testified that she felt uncomfortable just talking about it, and her discomfort was apparent.
00:14:35.840
Two days later, Miss Yaniv approached Miss Benipal again.
00:14:44.000
This time, she used a Facebook account with the name Jessica and a picture showing a person wearing makeup with longer blonde hair, which she found on the Internet.
00:14:54.340
These details would support an assumption that Jessica was a woman.
00:14:57.720
She asked Miss Benipal whether she offered Brazilian waxes, and Miss Benipal said that she did.
00:15:02.780
Miss Yaniv then asked whether Miss Benipal would provide the service while she was on her period, pressing her to agree to work around the string of a tampon.
00:15:13.500
While I found her to be evasive on this issue, Miss Yaniv acknowledged that she was not menstruating and would not have required Miss Benipal to work around a tampon.
00:15:21.860
Rather, she testified that the purpose of asking this question was to test Miss Benipal's professionalism and to see if this was a legitimate business.
00:15:33.160
If Miss Yaniv were genuinely curious about the legitimacy of Miss Benipal's business, she could have asked questions related to training, licensing, facilities, or other matters relevant to the business.
00:15:43.060
At this point, she had already been refused service and was using deception to gather more information for some other purpose.
00:15:49.460
In an unrelated Facebook post, Miss Yaniv said publicly that the funniest thing is asking an immigrant for a tampon.
00:15:59.620
In my view, the most likely scenario, said the judge, is that Miss Yaniv was trying to make Miss Benipal feel uncomfortable or awkward for her own amusement or as a form of revenge.
00:16:09.740
This is consistent with Miss Yaniv's behavior in relation to all of the respondents.
00:16:14.380
So he's a liar, he's a trapper, he's a hunter, he's a deceiver.
00:16:21.320
He's obviously some sort of perv in the sense that he wants to trick this immigrant Sikh woman into touching his junk.
00:16:27.800
Despite her clear objection to doing so, and the fact he used a fake photo to try and trick her into letting him in her home.
00:16:34.760
And the grossest part of this is that he managed to hijack the BC Human Rights Tribunal to be a part of this scheme.
00:16:40.260
The fact that they would eventually, after worldwide media, after many months, finally rule against him as little consolation.
00:16:54.300
There are so many instances, I'm not going to read you all six, there's 60 pages of this.
00:17:11.720
It's with another immigrant woman who worked from home while taking care of her kids.
00:17:18.140
Yaniv sent a picture of himself as a man and started harassing her and then this, let me quote.
00:17:23.860
So, Miss Yaniv responded, excuse me, and sent a photograph of herself in a pink baseball cap with makeup on saying, this is me.
00:17:34.240
This was clearly a different person than she originally represented was coming.
00:17:39.220
Miss Da Silva called her husband to tell him what was happening and that she found it suspicious.
00:17:44.140
He told her not to take the appointment if she felt unsafe.
00:17:47.560
At this point, she decided that she did not feel comfortable keeping the appointment.
00:17:50.720
She said, sorry, I don't have a problem, but I don't do it.
00:17:56.980
And Miss Da Silva answered that her husband would not allow her to.
00:18:04.140
Texting and then sending one picture of herself and then another picture.
00:18:09.080
What woman would let such a creep, such a stalker into her home, demanding to get naked?
00:18:16.760
There are so many cases, each of which involve Yaniv tricking or trapping, deceiving immigrant women, and then verbally abusing them, threatening them, and then suing them.
00:18:29.280
Reading it made me think of someone abusing animals.
00:18:33.820
The sheer cruelty of it, that they took delight from the cruelty.
00:18:37.080
That's what I thought of when I read how Yaniv abused these women.
00:18:41.000
I thought, here's a guy, it feels like he's abusing animals.
00:18:48.720
Here's what the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal said about this.
00:18:51.120
I find that Miss Yaniv's predominant motive in filing her waxing complaints is not to prevent or remedy alleged discrimination,
00:19:01.840
but to target small businesses for personal financial gain.
00:19:06.020
In many of these complaints, she is also motivated to punish racialized and immigrant women based on her perception that certain ethnic groups,
00:19:13.900
namely South Asian and Asian communities, are taking over and advancing an agenda hostile to the interests of LGBTQ plus people.
00:19:22.580
I reach this conclusion based on a number of factors.
00:19:25.740
A. The volume of similar complaints and the profile of the respondents.
00:19:29.820
B. Miss Yaniv's use of deception to manufacture some of these complaints.
00:19:35.840
C. Miss Yaniv's efforts to punish the respondents.
00:19:39.160
D. Miss Yaniv's stated desire to resolve all of her complaints for a financial settlement
00:19:44.740
and her pattern of withdrawing complaints in the face of opposition.
00:19:48.140
And E. Miss Yaniv's animus towards certain racial, religious, and cultural groups.
00:20:00.040
Miss Yaniv filed 13 very similar complaints within a four-month time span.
00:20:05.940
So being a scammer is pretty much a full-time job.
00:20:11.240
This is such a gross ruling, though, to read it all.
00:20:19.160
She was a witness for him, though the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal says her information was largely irrelevant and useless.
00:20:38.840
Jessica, would I be able to ask you a few questions?
00:21:05.180
But they managed to get the tribunal to let them operate in secrecy.
00:21:10.320
Let me read to you a little bit about that from the ruling.
00:21:12.980
The publication ban enabled Ms. Yaniv's misconduct in filing these complaints by allowing her to
00:21:19.420
file such a high volume of complaints with no public accountability.
00:21:23.360
By seeking the tribunal's protection, at the same time as she was actively engaging online
00:21:28.660
on these same issues, she undermined the integrity of the very order she had sought.
00:21:33.440
I find, therefore, that circumstances have changed since I concluded in mint tanning that
00:21:37.900
Ms. Yaniv's representations did not prejudice the integrity of the tribunal's process.
00:21:43.040
I now find that these misrepresentations were improper.
00:21:45.960
So Yaniv lied to the tribunal to get them to put a publication ban over everything he
00:21:52.380
But then he used that secrecy given to him by the government to harass a dozen women.
00:22:01.960
But they were both completely enabled by this government tribunal that is the grossest of
00:22:10.600
This is on them, too, despite their Johnny-come-lately ruling.
00:22:14.980
Now, let me give a shout out to our friends at the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom.
00:22:20.880
You know, John Carpe's group, they intervene as lawyers for a bunch of the immigrant estheticians
00:22:28.840
He abandoned some of his complaints just to get the lawyers out of the room.
00:22:32.780
Anyone the Justice Center worked for, he dropped his complaints against them.
00:22:36.420
And then he applied to kick those lawyers off the case for the remaining clients.
00:22:40.800
He was obviously terrified of fighting real men, real lawyers.
00:22:44.140
He prefers to threaten immigrant women in private.
00:22:49.080
Early on in this process, Miss Yaniv withdrew two of her complaints after the JCCF was retained
00:23:02.080
In doing so, her express purpose was to remove Mr. Cameron as counsel.
00:23:09.800
She later applied unsuccessfully to have Mr. Cameron remove his counsel for the represented
00:23:13.940
respondents and barred from appearing in front of this tribunal.
00:23:18.140
She has ultimately been compelled to face him in these complaints after I denied all applications
00:23:24.040
to have him removed and found that her pattern of withdrawals was improper.
00:23:29.000
Just to be clear, the tribunal called Yaniv an extortionist.
00:23:35.020
I have concluded that Miss Yaniv engaged in improper conduct by filing these complaints for an improper
00:23:43.400
purpose, misleading the tribunal in respect of the publication ban, being untruthful with
00:23:50.080
respect to a central aspect of her complaint, engaging in extortionate behavior, and making
00:24:03.080
Jonathan Yaniv is a pathological liar and a scammer.
00:24:06.000
I don't care if you call him Jonathan or Jessica or him or her.
00:24:18.880
Yaniv terrorized women across Vancouver with impunity, aided by this same kangaroo court.
00:24:25.520
It's only because they were embarrassed, too, that they turned on him.
00:24:35.040
They were the ones who actually kept his identity secret with the publication ban while he molested
00:24:42.280
I don't know if he actually molested them physically.
00:24:46.040
This human rights tribunal is to blame as much as anyone.
00:24:48.200
Only when the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms got involved did his scheme start to
00:24:53.120
Who knows who else was ground up by him before the JCCF saved the day.
00:24:58.440
And shame on all the fake feminists out there who were fine with all this, supporting a con
00:25:10.260
He obviously committed the crime of assault and battery against our own David Menzies.
00:25:16.720
And he has yet to be charged with that crime, despite the fact that the RCMP have the footage.
00:25:22.580
Maybe now the BC Human Rights Tribunal itself calls Yaniv a con man, a liar, an extortionist.
00:25:28.340
Maybe now the police will be less cowardly and lay charges for the assault.
00:25:57.260
Well, you'll know that I've been madder than a snake that married a garden hose for almost
00:26:04.580
two months now, ever since some animal rights extremists had a home invasion-style raid on
00:26:13.880
a Hutterite farming colony in southern Alberta.
00:26:25.940
As you can see, there was a great number of them.
00:26:27.800
The worst part was actually the response by the RCMP, who came and did not make any arrests,
00:26:37.700
but rather styled themselves as mediators between the criminals and the victims.
00:26:43.900
They actually assisted in negotiating some terms, including that the media would be given
00:26:51.300
access to make some political-style statement as if there was, like, an airplane hostage-taking,
00:26:59.300
And secondly, to actually approve and oversee the theft of five turkeys.
00:27:06.960
They said, well, take the Hutterites, take the turkeys as a gift.
00:27:13.680
And Doug Schweitzer, the left-wing attorney general in Jason Kenney's government, gave speech
00:27:18.580
after speech about getting tough on rural crime but didn't do a bloody thing, until finally
00:27:23.840
this week, charges were laid, but only against four people.
00:27:32.180
There were a great many people there, and police know their names.
00:27:40.580
The three adults are Claire Buchanan of Calgary, 28, Kennedy Ray Herbert, 24, of Pinscher Creek.
00:27:46.640
And the most surprising thing, and something I'd like to focus on in today's segment,
00:27:52.500
is the fourth person to be charged, a 46-year-old man named Maxwell Ma,
00:27:59.860
who just happens to be an employee of Global News, a journalist.
00:28:08.100
And I say again, part of the hostage shakedown extortion deal was that Global News be given
00:28:23.500
Joining us now via Skype from Northern Alberta to talk about this scandal is our friend Sheila
00:28:29.540
Sheila, I can't believe it that Global News had a journalist on the inside, or as you put it,
00:28:38.020
in your video, maybe the eco-terrorists had someone on the inside of Global, but either
00:28:43.260
way, the whole thing was a setup, and Global News was in on it from the beginning.
00:28:50.360
I don't know about you, but I always thought it was somewhat fishy that Global News was
00:28:56.640
the media outlet of choice for these protesters to contact and get down to the farm.
00:29:04.260
And the initial reporting came from Global News Calgary, so that was two hours away from
00:29:10.560
And yet, Global News was Johnny on the spot there.
00:29:13.360
They were there right away, participating really in these terroristic hostage demands.
00:29:19.540
They held the farm hostage until Global News, of all news outlets, were allowed to wander through
00:29:31.120
And that was because Global News pretty clearly was tipped off about the protest by a Global
00:29:41.180
And Global News never mentioned that fact in any of their coverage up until the point that
00:29:50.580
And because the names of the adults who were charged was announced, it was eventually going
00:29:55.940
to come out that a Global News employee was involved in this.
00:29:59.140
So they begrudgingly tell the world in the third to last sentence of their story.
00:30:05.620
As of right now, other than your video last night, I have not seen any other media identify
00:30:14.320
a global journalist as one of the accused terrorists.
00:30:24.660
What's so frustrating is how minor the charges are.
00:30:28.500
There's a phrase in prosecuting, you can undercharge someone, you can overcharge someone.
00:30:33.960
And typically, police and prosecutors like to overcharge someone so they can maybe bargain
00:30:39.860
If they slap them with everything imaginable, they can maybe do a deal or they can get the
00:30:46.220
Here, it's as if lazy Doug Schweitzer and his attorney general, his prosecutors, went for
00:30:56.320
One count of break and enter to commit mischief.
00:31:06.840
There's a part of our criminal code called criminal organizations that you can use to
00:31:11.100
bust up sort of a gang that's doing something for their criminal benefit.
00:31:19.640
So there's a lot of questions that Attorney General Doug Schweitzer has to answer for.
00:31:25.440
There's a lot of questions the RCMP has to answer for.
00:31:27.720
But I'm just stunned that Global News had a journalist as part of this criminal act.
00:31:38.140
You know, I noticed the very specific wording that Global News used when they were reporting
00:31:43.140
on the fact that one of their employees was part of this home invasion.
00:31:47.140
And it wasn't that he was an employee of Global News.
00:31:50.300
It was that he is an employee of Global News Edmonton, as he remains an employee of Global
00:32:00.060
He's been doing these town hall meetings all across the province, saying he's going to throw
00:32:05.080
the book at people who are committing rural crime and specifically this new genre of crime
00:32:14.820
that seems to be farm invasions and invading oil field sites.
00:32:19.240
So like workplace invasions that and in the case of this Hutterite farm, that also happens
00:32:25.640
But now when the rubber meets the road, when we can see how serious the new government is
00:32:32.480
about all this, they've severely undercharged these people, and they haven't charged any
00:32:40.060
They've sort of just charged the lowest hanging fruit here.
00:32:43.340
And I would suggest probably the people most likely to get off with a slap on their wrist,
00:32:48.640
including the minor that's involved in all of this.
00:32:51.080
I mean, we showed a moment ago how many people, there were 60 people, six zero.
00:32:56.880
And even in this picture alone, you can see a dozen people, all of them had trespassing,
00:33:07.300
all of them committing mischief, all of them engaging in extortion, all of them probably
00:33:17.120
I'm not an expert on farm laws and laws regarding livestock, but you bring a bunch of snotty kids
00:33:23.940
into a turkey barn and you might theoretically, I mean, I understand from your reports that
00:33:29.660
every animal in that barn was later sold for slaughter with only one exception.
00:33:35.980
So obviously that didn't happen, but it was all at risk.
00:33:40.760
It's outrageous, the difference between the tough talk and the weak action by Doug Schweitzer.
00:33:48.940
I mean, I know a little bit about the TV business, not just from here at the Rebel,
00:33:52.660
but when I worked for Sun News, for global to have been on the spot, for them to have done
00:33:59.440
the news stories, probably a dozen people in that company would have known that one of their own
00:34:13.740
He would have contacted the official global reporters.
00:34:18.020
He would have dealt with the global reporter and producer on the scene.
00:34:21.940
There's probably two or three people on the scene.
00:34:25.300
They surely would have talked to their more senior producers.
00:34:31.680
officially, and if not officially, they approved it by their conduct.
00:34:35.600
They ran with it, and they knew it was disreputable because they hid that.
00:34:51.460
But they deceived their own viewers by pretending,
00:34:57.880
Oh, they just happened to demand that global be there to publish the demands of the hijackers
00:35:02.900
and hostage-takers, they were part of the crime themselves.
00:35:10.220
Global News should have been charged because the fruits of the crime also flowed to Global News.
00:35:19.260
Global News conducted themselves not just as a fake news organization,
00:35:28.020
Yeah, there's a lot of conspiracies going on here, aren't there?
00:35:36.880
but there's also the conspiracy of silence from Global News
00:35:40.600
to keep this information away from their viewership
00:35:44.780
until they absolutely couldn't keep a lid on it anymore.
00:35:51.900
we wouldn't have known the extent to which Global News was involved in all of this.
00:35:59.440
I was just thinking about this when you were talking.
00:36:03.120
and that APTN reporter had embedded himself with the activists,
00:36:12.300
and he came down to accost me as I walked up Burnaby Mountain to the encampment.
00:36:25.520
But it's this sort of mainstream media overlapping.
00:36:34.600
and then they don't divulge that information to their viewer.
00:36:41.460
it's really no wonder that people can't trust the mainstream media.
00:36:46.340
I mean, I was looking at when I saw the names of the three adults who were charged.
00:36:52.760
Obviously, I hopped on Google to see what their social media profile was.
00:36:57.080
And Claire Buchanan and Kennedy Ray Herbert are...
00:37:02.340
They're not super young, but they're women in their 20s,
00:37:05.000
and they look like vegan, animal rights people.
00:37:09.800
I mean, Claire Buchanan thinks she's a bit of an Instagram model or something.
00:37:17.080
But you can see she's always hugging animals, wearing vegetarian shirts.
00:37:22.720
She's absolutely playing the part of the 20-something single vegetarian activist girl.
00:37:29.260
I mean, that's no big surprise that she's cannon fodder for this action.
00:37:34.080
And same with Kennedy Herbert, and obviously a 16-year-old girl too.
00:37:38.040
I'm not going to call them victims, although maybe the teenager is.
00:37:44.140
And you've got all these 20-something and teenage girls,
00:37:47.000
and then you've got a 46-year-old man just happens to be in the mix?
00:38:02.280
I just don't believe that a 46-year-old global news journalist from Edmonton
00:38:08.600
just happened to fall in with 20-something girls from Calgary and Pincher Creek
00:38:19.900
I don't believe it was just coincidence, and I don't believe he's a peer of theirs.
00:38:24.620
I believe he was some sort of a fixer or a boss or something more senior.
00:38:28.940
Yeah, I think it all goes back to the fact that, you know,
00:38:33.680
the coverage came from Global News Calgary about this event.
00:38:38.380
And the Hutterite Farm, chosen, they say completely at random,
00:38:44.600
I think chosen because they're Hutterites and they're pacifists,
00:38:48.500
So if you're using young girls and malnourished women as cannon fodder,
00:38:52.860
the Hutterite Farm is a safe place to break the law.
00:38:57.720
It's all very strange how a news crew from two hours away
00:39:03.820
was able to be there right as the story happened.
00:39:07.540
You know, I've just looked up, while we're chatting here on my laptop,
00:39:12.640
the Edmonton Journal coverage, that's post-media CTV coverage.
00:39:22.420
Now, maybe that's just lazy and they didn't type his name into Google.
00:39:26.840
But this, to me, is a scandal of the highest order from a journalistic point of view.
00:39:35.020
Yes, it's eco-activism that has to be nipped in the bud.
00:39:39.080
I tell you, a lot of anti-oil sands extremists are watching how this is being treated.
00:39:45.980
And so far, the RCMP and Doug Schweitzer have failed.
00:39:52.200
It's fake news, and it's a news organization hiding its role in manufacturing the news.
00:40:01.700
And I think that we need to do some digging here, Sheila, because obviously Canada's so-called media critics won't.
00:40:11.600
The company itself, using the present tense, Maxwell Ming-Ma is an employee at Global Edmonton.
00:40:19.660
They were fine with it the day before it was released in public.
00:40:22.500
In fact, they were colluding to keep it a secret.
00:40:27.200
And remember, Global also is affiliated with radio stations, Chorus Entertainment, CHQR, things like that.
00:40:35.740
So this is, I wonder if this is the first time that Global News has been part of a setup in manufacturing a fake news story.
00:40:49.440
Yeah, the only reason we know is because charges were laid.
00:40:53.320
If charges were never laid, we would never have known Maxwell Ming-Ma's relationship to Global News.
00:40:59.320
But the good news is that you and I aren't done with this story yet.
00:41:03.540
The accused, I suppose, have to make some appearances in court, and they're going to go to trial.
00:41:11.020
And we're going to be following that very, very closely.
00:41:13.280
Because there's a lot more information that needs to come out.
00:41:18.040
Now, whether or not it's going to come out, I suppose that's up to us to ask the hard questions.
00:41:26.320
And, you know, I noted in my video the difference in treatment that Global is getting when one of their people is charged for animal rights activism and trespass, break and enter.
00:41:40.400
How differently it would have been if that were one of us that, you know, got charged with a crime or even got a speeding ticket and somebody found out.
00:41:50.900
CBC would lose their minds for a week and call us all not journalists.
00:41:55.820
And yet Global News isn't getting any of that treatment, not even from the local news in Lethbridge and Pincher Creek.
00:42:02.400
I tell you, this is a disturbing story, and I do not think it's over.
00:42:10.940
I want to know if other global news people were in on it.
00:42:15.500
Again, the fact that he's a 40-something-year-old guy hanging out with these young gals, I do not believe they were friends.
00:42:22.040
I believe that this was a project that was managed.
00:42:24.760
I believe he had a senior role, and the fact that he was charged, one of only four people to be charged, suggests that perhaps he had a senior role.
00:42:31.880
Maybe he himself was actually negotiating with the police.
00:42:35.140
We certainly won't learn the truth about this from Global News.
00:42:39.260
You just can't trust a word the media party says, Sheila.
00:42:45.500
Well, you did point out that, you know, we're going to have to find out this information in a court of law.
00:42:51.140
One, I think you and I are going to be fighting over which one of us gets to sit in that courtroom, because I'm curious about the interaction between Maxwell Ming-Ma and the global news journalists who will be reporting on the trial, because I'm sure they'll be there, too.
00:43:07.240
And I'll be there, or you'll be there to see it.
00:43:12.280
I believe that a large part of the fact that these charges were finally laid, even though they were undercharged and too few people were charged, I think a large amount of credit goes to you for keeping the feet to the fire of the attorney general, that lazy liberal Doug Schweitzer, who really delayed for two months here.
00:43:34.800
Let's keep up on this story, because you can't trust anyone else.
00:43:39.180
And there you have it, Sheila Gunn-Reed, via Skype from Alberta.
00:43:44.120
How many other cases has global news cooked up the story and not told you that, not disclosed that?
00:43:51.360
I mean, it would be bad enough if they disclosed it, but they kept it secret from you, which meant they deceived you on purpose, which meant they knew what they were doing was unethical, and they just didn't care.
00:44:09.180
Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about America now being a net oil exporter and Quebec being one of the major customers.
00:44:21.720
Barb writes, Quebec, the province solely exists for whatever it can take from the rest of Canada and gives nothing back.
00:44:27.920
No surprise, they import the largest quantity of foreign oil.
00:44:35.620
Just like all Ontarians didn't vote liberal, and all of those who did don't hate the West, but Quebec's political class certainly knows how it all works.
00:44:44.360
I should point out that Quebec imports the most American oil, but New Brunswick and the Irving family, best friends of Dominique LeBlanc, the Liberal Party, they import the Saudi stuff, don't they?
00:44:54.980
Liz writes, we don't want to be Ottawa slaves for no return or have to pay for Quebec to stay in Canada.
00:45:04.920
I mean, Quebec never really wanted out because they wanted out with bedroom privileges.
00:45:11.120
They invented that phrase, sovereignty association.
00:45:15.100
When a real divorce happens, in the case of Czechoslovakia, both sides move apart pretty quick because they're resolved.
00:45:27.140
As Lorne Gunter says, if the West chooses to go, they'll go quickly, although Brexit-style, I think the establishment will gum it up.
00:45:35.600
Ryan writes, what does the West need to do when the East doesn't want your oil?
00:45:40.080
You leave the country and sell it elsewhere, but the West needs a separation leader.
00:45:43.160
What about Ezra? I think he would be the best leader to get us out of this one-sided marriage we have with the East.
00:45:49.140
Listen, I'm very sympathetic, and I think what the rebel can be counted on to do is to host the debate, to be a house for conversation.
00:45:57.840
Because every other media outlet in Alberta is dominated by post-media, CBC, CTV, Global.
00:46:05.920
They're run out of Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, whatever.
00:46:08.940
And I guess we're based here in Ottawa, too, but we're not beholden to the establishment interests here.
00:46:15.160
Do you really think the CBC is going to give a sympathetic ear to Western independents?
00:46:23.320
They'll do a Warren Kinsella and badmouth them as bigots.
00:46:27.640
I think the role of the rebel is to have a conversation and flush it out.
00:46:34.600
If even having that conversation and taking the steps down that road causes Canada to reform itself, well, then that's great.
00:46:45.580
I think the rebel will be the only trustworthy news and opinion source on this subject.
00:46:53.080
All right, that's our show for today and for this week.
00:46:55.620
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, you at home, goodnight.
