Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I take you through the day's unfolding events, how Justin Trudeau,
00:00:05.320 in standing with the illegal blockaders who are blocking a First Nations-backed pipeline,
00:00:12.500 fake aboriginals who are opposing the 20 aboriginal bands who support the pipeline,
00:00:18.020 how Trudeau has done so by forming a coalition government with the Bloc Hippicoat and the NDP.
00:00:22.160 That's what has happened. I'll prove it to you. Stay tuned for that. I'll also invite you to

00:00:57.120 Tonight, Justin Trudeau finally makes a definitive statement about the pipeline blockades,
00:01:12.820 and it's a statement of surrender. It's February 18th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:18.780 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:24.620 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:28.700 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:33.560 right to do so.
00:01:39.620 When Justin Trudeau's father, Pierre Trudeau, brought in martial law to crack down on the
00:01:45.820 Front de Libération du Québec, the FLQA, paramilitary group, a terrorist group, really.
00:01:52.440 They were agitating for Quebec separatism. Well, Pierre Trudeau made no apologies for how brutal
00:01:58.620 he would be. I think the response to terrorists should always be brutal, by the way. The trouble
00:02:04.240 with Trudeau's martial law, Pierre Trudeau's martial law, is that it treated everyone as a terrorist.
00:02:09.480 It was brutal to everybody. The whole province was essentially put on lockdown. He brought in
00:02:14.480 martial law. There were warrantless searches and seizures. I don't know if you know this, but
00:02:18.960 RCMP officers actually torched the barns of farmers who were suspected of sympathizing with
00:02:27.260 the FLQ. They literally committed the crime of arson. Trudeau's police did that. Did you know that
00:02:33.100 every newspaper in Quebec was censored by Trudeau during his imposition of the war measures back?
00:02:40.220 I didn't know that fact until some years ago when I happened to be speaking to Conrad Black's
00:02:46.040 then partner, David Radler. Together, the two of them owned many newspapers, but back during the
00:02:53.000 FLQ crisis, they were much smaller. Radler told me that he was appointed, he personally was the English
00:03:02.040 language censor for newspapers in Quebec. I couldn't believe it, but why couldn't I believe it? That's what
00:03:09.780 martial law was, censoring newspapers. So that was Pierre Trudeau, play-acting as a tyrant like his
00:03:18.200 good friends Mao and Castro. I suppose you could say he was defending the unity and integrity of our
00:03:25.880 country. A reporter asked him just how far he'd go, and you know what he said, this.
00:03:32.600 At any cost? At any cost? How far would you go with that? How far would you extend that?
00:03:36.680 No, just watch me.
00:03:39.960 So that's Pierre Trudeau, but Justin Trudeau lacks his father's everything, really,
00:03:47.460 other than his name and inherited wealth. Justin is dumber than his dad. Justin is unaccomplished
00:03:54.080 in life, unlike his dad. Accepting his elevation to the highest office in the land, I mean,
00:03:59.320 really, what did he do before that miracle? Justin Trudeau lacks courage and decisiveness. Now,
00:04:05.520 on many things, that's good. I don't want Trudeau making a lot of decisions, but we actually need
00:04:12.040 a leader now to make some decisions now. The whole country is being shut down by the most pitiful
00:04:17.960 group of protesters ever seen. They're not even armed terrorists like some of the FLQ were. You know,
00:04:24.140 the FLQ murdered people. They planted bombs in mailboxes. They were a threat. They had connections
00:04:30.920 to the dictatorship of Cuba. These eco-protesters this past week have been pitiful. Here's Kian
00:04:37.640 talking to some.
00:04:39.420 Would you be able to tell me what is actually being transported to Kitimat?
00:04:43.640 Oil.
00:04:44.660 Oil?
00:04:45.280 I believe so.
00:04:46.180 What do you think is being transported to Kitimat?
00:04:48.280 Oil.
00:04:49.020 Oil.
00:04:49.280 From where?
00:04:51.420 I'm not entirely sure, but I know it has to do something with the Albertan government.
00:04:55.780 Could you tell me what is in the pipeline?
00:04:59.040 It is crude oil.
00:05:04.140 Just one quick question. Could you tell me what is in the pipe, what they're going to be transporting?
00:05:08.500 No, I can't.
00:05:10.340 Yeah, I don't think we need to deploy the armed forces as Trudeau did.
00:05:15.300 And really, any adult who isn't in a weakened state because they're vegan would be able to
00:05:23.880 clear out this latest lot of hippies.
00:05:27.200 Get it up! Shut down!
00:05:29.160 Get it up! Shut down!
00:05:31.400 Get it up!
00:05:33.200 Yeah.
00:05:35.160 I think they'd fall over if you just touched them, but our police won't do that.
00:05:40.060 You know, this morning, those weird protesters said they were going to do a citizen's arrest
00:05:46.460 on the NDP Premier of British Columbia, John Horgan.
00:05:50.640 They weren't being arrested.
00:05:52.640 So they thought, well, why don't, there ought to be some arresting.
00:05:55.940 Let's arrest the Premier of B.C.
00:05:57.280 It was about as pathetic as you'd expect.
00:06:00.780 Political BS.
00:06:02.640 Political spam.
00:06:04.700 Shame on Chet Muth for endorsing this activity.
00:06:07.560 Shame on you for the free press in Ex-Savania.
00:06:10.940 Good morning, Horgan.
00:06:12.880 Horgan, you invaded the Wissowitan homeland.
00:06:17.020 You made it personal, John.
00:06:19.040 Oh, that's awesome.
00:06:20.160 What's that?
00:06:20.700 You said, fuck yourself.
00:06:22.400 That's incredible.
00:06:24.420 This is so unprofessional, that's all I can say.
00:06:27.120 Oh, my God, that's so lame.
00:06:31.620 Yeah, these aren't the FLQ.
00:06:33.340 And in the case of the Premier's personal house, well, that was the one time they were
00:06:38.240 shooed away.
00:06:38.880 But not in many other cases.
00:06:40.260 Railways have been shut down en masse.
00:06:42.740 Via rail, CN rail.
00:06:44.820 Affecting the distribution of countless things that move in this country by rail, which affects
00:06:49.840 people outside of the West.
00:06:52.300 But I think the eco-radicals have been too bold.
00:06:55.920 Last week, they blocked not only British Columbia's legislature, including the handicapped entrance,
00:07:01.020 which I thought was really classy.
00:07:02.640 But they started to rough up journalists just a little bit.
00:07:06.620 How dumb is that?
00:07:07.980 To turn against their key allies?
00:07:10.980 Their base?
00:07:12.360 Really?
00:07:13.340 I mean, journalists love Greta Thunberg, the Extinction Rebellion, all these foreign-funded
00:07:18.540 environmental actors.
00:07:20.160 They're actors.
00:07:21.040 That's, you know, when other people are inconvenienced, the media loves these guys.
00:07:30.520 But journalists and the NDP politicians themselves being inconvenienced?
00:07:36.760 How dare you?
00:07:38.740 Yeah, everyone likes Greta when she's aimed at your enemies, but aiming them at her allies?
00:07:45.640 That's really dumb, guys.
00:07:47.760 Hey, just a tangent here.
00:07:49.320 Can I show you these professional protesters, Greta's street teams in the United Kingdom?
00:07:54.280 Remember this?
00:07:54.860 I showed you this a couple months ago.
00:07:56.640 Remember this?
00:07:57.120 Ager who's got trabalhar in the United Kingdom?
00:08:08.920 up, up, up, up, up.
00:08:14.400 Come on!
00:08:16.020 Come on!
00:08:16.500 Come on!
00:08:17.560 Come on!
00:08:20.260 Come on!
00:08:21.120 Come on!
00:08:22.200 They all wanted to put their boots in, didn't they?
00:08:34.420 That's what happened when Greta's street teams inconvenienced working class Brits by stopping the railways there.
00:08:41.500 Some hipsters weren't quite a match for working men and women being made late for work.
00:08:46.520 I see these environmentalists in the UK.
00:08:48.520 Look at this.
00:08:49.040 They're digging up the pristine lawns in historic sites in the UK.
00:08:55.360 Gorgeous universe.
00:08:56.160 Look at that.
00:08:56.900 I thought these folks were supposed to be pro-environment.
00:09:00.940 That's Greta's street thugs.
00:09:02.980 It's so weird.
00:09:03.640 Thugs is too big a word.
00:09:05.100 Like I say, you can knock them over with a flick.
00:09:09.180 Well, they brought that same spirit to Canada big time.
00:09:13.380 Via Rail shut down all of its traffic amongst the three great liberal cities.
00:09:19.040 Of Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto.
00:09:21.080 Canceled, canceled, canceled.
00:09:23.440 Guys, what are you doing?
00:09:24.520 That's your base.
00:09:26.000 Those three cities voted overwhelmingly for the left, for climate justice, whatever.
00:09:30.240 But all those voters in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, they just assumed that the people who would
00:09:36.560 pay the price would be Albertans.
00:09:39.400 Duh.
00:09:39.800 I mean, sure, shutting down trains and cars, if that were to happen, it would cut their
00:09:45.000 carbon footprint.
00:09:45.940 But they don't want to have to be the ones to actually make a sacrifice.
00:09:49.120 Isn't all the pain of decarbonizing supposed to be handled by Alberta?
00:09:56.100 And all the bragging rights done by those three great liberal cities?
00:09:59.900 So Greta's street thugs are irritating Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa liberals.
00:10:05.800 The ones using public transit, no less.
00:10:08.920 Dumb, dumb, dumb.
00:10:10.060 I mean, had those hippies, those vegans, those Vietnam draft dodgers blocked Jason Kenney's
00:10:17.680 home instead of John Horgan's home, they'd be getting cheers from the media.
00:10:21.960 But blocking an NDP activist like John Horgan?
00:10:25.300 It's almost like this thing is being quarterbacked by, I don't know, Greta Thunberg's parents or
00:10:30.200 the UN, something like that.
00:10:31.440 Someone who has no clue about how Canadian politics works.
00:10:34.260 The only grown-up in Trudeau's cabinet, Mark Garneau, the transport minister, he started
00:10:40.340 getting worried about, you know, deaths and stuff.
00:10:46.080 And Vashu, if I may add one additional thing, because I think it's important to point it out,
00:10:50.760 I have concerns with respect to safety here.
00:10:54.820 There have been instances with the railroads where people have climbed on railway cars that
00:11:06.160 happened over the weekend.
00:11:08.060 There have been instances where an unexpected blockade was put in an area where a train was
00:11:16.560 in fact operating and the railway company was not aware of that.
00:11:21.600 And that can be extremely dangerous when a train is coming along.
00:11:26.440 You know that trains in Canada are long, they're big, they're heavy, they're large,
00:11:31.640 they can't stop on a dime.
00:11:34.060 And there have also been instances of tampering as well on the railways.
00:11:40.300 And one that concerns me particularly is disabling the signalization,
00:11:47.300 the signaling that occurs at a road crossing.
00:11:50.360 So these are things that I would urge Canadians, we accept peaceful protests in this country
00:11:57.640 and demonstrations that are peaceful and lawful, but it is concerning if people aren't
00:12:03.760 respecting the fact that they can not only injure themselves, but they can injure other people.
00:12:09.880 So I would ask Canadians to be sensible on the issue of railway safety.
00:12:14.600 So he used the word extremely dangerous.
00:12:17.300 Imagine tampering road crossings.
00:12:21.680 How is that anything other than eco-terrorism?
00:12:24.460 So he's extremely concerned, but he's not going to do anything about it.
00:12:30.980 There have been no arrests on these railroads.
00:12:35.380 He works for Justin Trudeau after all, but at least he's talking about sabotage.
00:12:40.820 Mark Miller, the new Aboriginal affairs minister whose sole qualification seems to be that
00:12:45.360 he's a schoolyard friend of Justin Trudeau, boyhood friend of Trudeau, he was dispatched
00:12:50.980 to get to the root of the problem, except the root of the problem is not Indian bans.
00:12:54.920 As you know, 20 out of the 20 Indian bans along the root of the coastal gas pipeline that
00:13:00.040 is allegedly the cause of these protests, 20 out of 20 of them, all of them support the
00:13:04.380 pipeline.
00:13:04.720 All of them, they had votes.
00:13:06.280 Some even had a referendum.
00:13:07.280 Their bans will get jobs and money from the pipeline, real life stuff, and it's natural
00:13:11.700 gas.
00:13:12.120 It doesn't cause an oil spill if you're worried about that.
00:13:14.900 It's a low carbon fuel, natural gas, if you're worried about that.
00:13:19.100 As Kian pointed out last year, the Wet'suwet'en Indians who are opposed to this pipeline aren't
00:13:24.060 actually a First Nation.
00:13:25.680 They're not a real Indian ban.
00:13:27.060 They're a corporation that gets funding from foreigners, including the Tides Foundation.
00:13:31.380 They're fake.
00:13:32.480 They're not real.
00:13:33.320 So this isn't an Indian affairs matter, other than perhaps upholding the will of the 20
00:13:38.740 Indian bans who support the pipeline.
00:13:41.500 Here's a few of them.
00:13:42.360 I'm just a regular guy.
00:13:44.320 I want to work like this project is going to have, what, 10,000 employees.
00:13:51.200 Now, if we interrupt one little part of it, it's going to erupt the whole line.
00:13:55.600 And that's a lot of, you know, 10,000 people is a lot of families and businesses that are
00:14:02.340 going to be affected.
00:14:02.960 And so people don't believe how crazy this can get.
00:14:08.600 And so these organizers of this really slick, well-funded campaign, they know exactly what
00:14:14.080 they're doing.
00:14:15.460 So when they're going to tell the rest of Canada, you know, oh, my God, look at all the RSMP,
00:14:20.820 you know, all this violence of the RSMP, that's not happening.
00:14:27.420 It'll bring a lot of jobs for people down the road for our community that want to work.
00:14:37.220 And there's a conflict between some certain people that don't even have an idea where
00:14:45.600 our trap lines and who owns the territory and which area, thinking that they know it
00:14:50.080 all.
00:14:50.480 And they're stepping in saying they don't even know diddly squat about our territory.
00:14:55.220 And then meanwhile, they're putting on roadblocks and so forth.
00:14:58.080 And that's uncalled for.
00:14:59.980 I like that last guy.
00:15:01.100 They don't know diddly squat about our territory, but they're putting down roadblocks.
00:15:04.640 Yeah.
00:15:05.140 Well, that's who the liberals care about.
00:15:07.220 The people who know diddly squat, Mark Miller, Trudeau's buddy, he met with Indians, but
00:15:12.360 not the pro-pipeline Watsuitan you just saw there.
00:15:14.960 He met with Mohawks in Ontario?
00:15:18.520 What's that got to do with the Watsuitan people in northern BC?
00:15:22.740 So some rogue Mohawk activists have been blocking the trains in Ontario.
00:15:28.540 Listen to Miller.
00:15:29.760 What I've been concerned about over the last week or so is growing tides of bigotry and
00:15:37.100 racism that is being levelled against amazing people that have helped us in hard times,
00:15:45.920 whose relationship with us in some cases is characterized by alliances.
00:15:51.680 And in some cases, we've broken our promise to them.
00:15:57.820 And people need to understand that the people here want a fair shot.
00:16:05.180 They want to be treated respectfully, but they're some great people and they are peaceful.
00:16:12.280 They are fundamentally peaceful.
00:16:13.260 What the hell is he talking about?
00:16:19.000 Broken promises?
00:16:20.280 Amazing people?
00:16:21.760 What is he?
00:16:22.120 He's talking about people breaking the law, blocking railways in Ontario.
00:16:27.700 What the hell?
00:16:28.360 Racism?
00:16:29.740 The railroad doesn't pass through Mohawk territory.
00:16:33.120 The people Miller met with, they don't have the democratic or legal authority to speak for
00:16:39.200 the Mohawk, let alone for the Watsuitan people.
00:16:42.760 One of the people that Miller met with for hours was named Seth LaForte.
00:16:48.220 Seth LaForte, who's that?
00:16:50.360 Well, he's the star of this CBC story about illegal drug dealers being raided by Mohawk police.
00:16:57.740 Let me say that again.
00:16:58.820 Just like the real Indian bands in B.C. want the pipeline to go through and a fake Indian
00:17:03.160 group says they're against it who don't know a diddly squad.
00:17:06.280 Well, the real Indian police force says these guys are just crooks dealing drugs.
00:17:10.880 Take a look at this.
00:17:12.220 CBC story.
00:17:13.320 It was quiet that Thursday evening in November at the Mohawk Medicine Herbal Store in Six Nations
00:17:18.120 when a swarm of officers wielding a battering ram and assault rifles burst in through the door.
00:17:23.040 Seth LaForte and an employee who were standing at the counter when the gun barrels appeared
00:17:28.820 immediately kneeled and held up their hands, according to surveillance video provided to
00:17:33.040 CBC News.
00:17:34.520 They came in like they were robbing a bank, said LaForte in an interview describing the
00:17:38.120 November 16, 2017 raid.
00:17:40.360 They said, everyone get on the ground, get on the ground.
00:17:44.160 Now, let me show you what that looked like, according to the store's surveillance cameras.
00:17:47.480 So this is a police raid on Seth LaForte.
00:17:54.540 These are, just I want to be triple clear here, these police were Six Nations police.
00:18:01.040 They were Aboriginal police.
00:18:02.300 They're real Indians with real legal authority.
00:18:05.420 This guy was dealing drugs, they said.
00:18:08.100 Seth LaForte was one of the guys arrested.
00:18:09.900 And Mark Miller was meeting with Seth LaForte, a representative of who?
00:18:20.560 Not of the Mohawk, a representative of local drug dealers?
00:18:24.100 What?
00:18:25.480 Justin Trudeau's cabinet minister is meeting with that guy, an illegal pot dealer that the
00:18:32.160 Mohawk police themselves think is a crook.
00:18:35.000 And you heard Mark Miller.
00:18:36.200 Look at this local report from the local newspaper, Quinty News.
00:18:41.460 Scroll down a bit.
00:18:42.380 Look at that train stopped on the tracks.
00:18:45.980 Just, just stopped.
00:18:48.380 LaForte, the guy who was arrested in that pot raid, he's lecturing the minister.
00:18:53.080 Let me, let me read what this guy has to say.
00:18:56.280 LaForte continued, our people are not angry.
00:18:59.180 They would be held to pay if they were angry.
00:19:01.460 They are afraid that you are going to bring your army against us.
00:19:04.460 We are afraid, not angry.
00:19:06.440 What?
00:19:07.460 Are you afraid you're going to get another raid from the drug cops or something?
00:19:10.920 What the hell?
00:19:12.020 Imagine meeting, imagine you're the Aboriginal affairs minister, and you're meeting not with
00:19:15.840 any Indian band chief or council, not with any community leaders, not even with your
00:19:22.460 Aboriginal police, but you're meeting with some guy, some drug dealer.
00:19:27.480 I'm dead serious.
00:19:28.820 That's what happened there.
00:19:30.560 Well, listen to Trudeau in Parliament today.
00:19:32.620 What a disgrace.
00:19:34.600 Do we want to become a country of irreconcilable differences, where people talk but refuse to
00:19:42.100 listen, where politicians are ordering police to arrest people, a country where people think
00:19:48.460 think they can tamper with rail lines and endanger lives.
00:19:51.780 This is simply unacceptable.
00:19:56.340 We cannot solve these problems on the margins.
00:20:00.440 That is not the way forward.
00:20:02.340 I know that people's patience is running short.
00:20:06.940 We need to find a solution, and we need to find it now.
00:20:10.700 So, so that just sort of ended with nothing.
00:20:18.780 No deadline, no rule of law.
00:20:20.500 He had a line in there about politicians telling police what to do.
00:20:26.860 It's a bit rich from the prime minister who directed the police to arrest and frame Mark
00:20:31.300 Norman, the vice admiral of the Canadian military, simply for embarrassing Trudeau.
00:20:35.240 But actually, it is the job of the police to enforce the law, uphold the law.
00:20:38.740 And it's clear that far from being told to enforce the law, they clearly have been told
00:20:43.260 not to enforce it.
00:20:45.320 Just like Trudeau tried to get Jody Wilson-Raybould not to enforce the law against SNC-Lavalin.
00:20:52.180 Reminder, the head of the RCMP is a hand-picked Trudeau woman, especially chosen as a gender
00:20:57.080 hire, a political hire, this woman here.
00:20:59.680 She won't investigate Trudeau for SNC-Lavalin.
00:21:02.320 She won't touch eco-terrorism on the railways.
00:21:05.140 One last development later today in Parliament, Trudeau convened an emergency meeting.
00:21:11.760 His liberals, the Separatist Bloc Québécois, which has recently come out forcefully against
00:21:17.240 any oil and gas pipelines and the Tech Frontier oil sands mine, and the Green Party and the
00:21:23.300 NDP were invited too.
00:21:24.540 Every party in Parliament was invited to Trudeau's crisis meeting except the official opposition
00:21:31.180 Conservatives, because they, you know, disagreed with Trudeau.
00:21:37.760 About an hour ago, I had a meeting with Mr. Singh, Mr. Blanchet, and Ms. May to discuss
00:21:44.240 how this government is working to engage in peaceful resolution of this situation.
00:21:50.440 Mr. Schiller disqualified himself from constructive discussions with his unacceptable speech earlier
00:22:01.880 today.
00:22:02.240 Got it.
00:22:04.500 So criticizing the government is unacceptable speech, and he's disqualified from having
00:22:10.460 a seat at the table, even though he's the official opposition.
00:22:13.120 So we don't really have a minority government in Canada anymore, do we?
00:22:17.020 We now have a coalition government.
00:22:19.680 All the parties that despise the oil and gas industry, all the parties that hate Alberta,
00:22:24.300 all the parties that are fine with lawlessness in the name of Aboriginal solidarity, but that
00:22:29.220 do so falsely because they stand not with the true Indian bands who support the pipelines,
00:22:33.960 but with the fake ones who oppose it, and with some drug dealer.
00:22:37.900 That's Trudeau's coalition with destroyers, including the Bloc Québécois.
00:22:41.780 You know, just the other day, Justin Trudeau warmly greeted and shook hands, and even patted
00:22:47.020 on the back a senior dictator in Iran's government who just murdered dozens of Canadians by shooting
00:22:54.340 down a civilian airliner.
00:22:55.560 Look at Trudeau smiling.
00:22:56.920 Trudeau would meet with him and warmly greet him, but not the leader of the opposition who
00:23:02.220 wants to build a pipeline.
00:23:04.240 Justin Trudeau put on hold his plans to go to Barbados today.
00:23:07.640 It would have been, what, his fourth or fifth junket in 2020.
00:23:10.700 I've lost track.
00:23:11.620 You know Trudeau loves the Caribbean.
00:23:13.360 He came back to do what?
00:23:17.120 To announce what?
00:23:19.500 Nothing.
00:23:20.700 He might as well have gone on his fifth vacation.
00:23:23.820 He's not here mentally.
00:23:25.380 He's still got that vacation beard, that don't give a damn this about him.
00:23:29.700 I read today that when Trudeau returned to Canada for this crisis, he actually didn't
00:23:34.540 return directly to a crisis meeting or even to deal with the Iran thing.
00:23:38.680 He went skiing first.
00:23:42.060 He went skiing when he got back to Canada.
00:23:45.580 Yeah, it's almost like he doesn't mind Canada's economy being shut down to block a pipeline.
00:23:52.600 It's almost like he prefers an economic crisis, an excuse to cave in to radical demands.
00:23:57.780 It's almost like another one of his childhood friends, Gerald Butts, formerly of the World
00:24:03.060 Wildlife Fund.
00:24:03.960 Why, it's almost like he's still running the show.
00:24:08.380 Stay with us for more.
00:24:09.320 Well, there have been railway blockades across the country.
00:24:25.200 We've seen particular threats in Ontario where some railway equipment has apparently been
00:24:32.500 tampered with.
00:24:33.900 And even in Atlantic Canada, this is threatening the shipment of many necessities, including
00:24:39.280 propane fuel.
00:24:40.760 But the cause, or at least the supposed cause for all this criminality is the coastal gas
00:24:50.400 link pipeline in British Columbia.
00:24:52.540 What's so odd about that is Justin Trudeau's incident response group, this crisis management
00:24:56.940 team, doesn't have a single British Columbian on it.
00:25:00.380 Joining us now from Victoria is our friend Aaron Gunn, who runs Canada Strong and Proud.
00:25:06.000 And you can find out more about him at aarongunn.ca.
00:25:08.660 Aaron, great to see you.
00:25:10.280 We love checking in with you.
00:25:12.140 You give us the other side of the story.
00:25:14.200 I'll always remember your coverage of when Victoria City Hall tore down the Sir John A.
00:25:20.200 MacDonald statue.
00:25:21.660 And I was so glad you were there to capture that.
00:25:24.240 This is another form of vandalism, but it's a bit more serious.
00:25:27.800 Tell me about the protests that you can see with your eyes against, nominally, this coastal
00:25:35.860 gas link pipeline, but really against the entire industrial economy.
00:25:38.820 Tell me what you see and who's behind it.
00:25:41.820 Well, there's been, well, thanks for having me, Ezra.
00:25:44.500 There's been protests and just general lawlessness across this province for the better part of
00:25:49.740 a week or even two weeks now.
00:25:51.700 On last Tuesday there, that would have been the February 10th, I think, 10th or 11th, they
00:26:00.620 blockaded the legislature here in Victoria, prevented elected MLAs from sitting during the throne
00:26:07.520 speech.
00:26:08.400 They've blockaded bridges and intersections throughout Victoria and Vancouver.
00:26:12.580 They tried to blockade a stretch of highway up in Courtney, but that didn't go so well for
00:26:17.260 them.
00:26:18.060 And they've blockaded rail lines as well in the lower mainland and up in northern BC.
00:26:23.760 And what's going on here?
00:26:25.100 I was on the ground, so I actually got to see and attempted to speak with some of these
00:26:29.360 individuals.
00:26:30.620 And it's really, they're very well organized.
00:26:34.060 They're obviously, it's part of that same Ngo movement that, you know, they have Excel
00:26:38.560 spreadsheets set up and they have their 200 kind of reoccurring protesters.
00:26:44.340 It's definitely led by a group of paid protesters that are out just trying to cause absolute
00:26:49.740 havoc.
00:26:50.640 And the police, or at least the police leadership and political leadership, are basically letting
00:26:54.800 them get away with it.
00:26:56.100 So even when you do get an injunction, the police actually do enforce the injunction.
00:27:00.980 It's kind of like you're playing a whack and a legal blockade.
00:27:04.820 One goes away and another one just springs up somewhere else.
00:27:07.740 So it's been a little chaotic.
00:27:10.760 And most recently, they actually tried to blockade the premier of British Columbia's personal
00:27:17.740 residence and make a citizen's arrest on him, which is obviously a new level of craziness.
00:27:25.580 And it's my understanding that the police actually did make some arrests in this particular
00:27:30.980 case.
00:27:31.380 You know, I didn't think of it until I just heard you say it again, when they blockaded
00:27:37.540 the B.C. legislature.
00:27:39.760 I thought that was crazy.
00:27:41.700 I thought the way they harassed politicians of every stripe, they blockaded the handicap
00:27:46.980 zone.
00:27:47.620 But just when I heard you say it again, it made me remember something that I learned in
00:27:50.820 law school more than 20 years ago.
00:27:52.840 And I just Googled it on my phone.
00:27:54.640 Let me read to you section 51 of the criminal code.
00:27:57.580 I forgot it until the second you said it.
00:28:01.160 Aaron, it's very short.
00:28:02.980 It's only one sentence long.
00:28:05.760 It's called intimidating parliament or legislature.
00:28:10.580 It's a specific crime in the criminal code.
00:28:13.560 It's so short, I'll read it to you right now.
00:28:16.160 Section 51.
00:28:17.960 Everyone who does an act of violence in order to intimidate parliament or the legislature of
00:28:24.340 a province is guilty of an indictable offense and liable to imprisonment for a term not
00:28:30.740 exceeding 14 years.
00:28:33.180 So that's a serious crime.
00:28:35.240 I don't think I saw any violence at the legislature, but any violence at all.
00:28:41.920 So a sit-in wouldn't qualify.
00:28:44.380 A protest wouldn't qualify.
00:28:45.960 Maybe blocking a door wouldn't qualify.
00:28:47.700 But you shove one, someone, you push someone, you threaten someone, you escalate it from
00:28:53.480 protest to violence.
00:28:55.040 That's a 14-year prison term.
00:28:58.420 These people are trying to intimidate our very rule of law.
00:29:03.380 They are.
00:29:04.140 Well, they're trying to intimidate our very country.
00:29:06.800 They're trying to bring it to its knees.
00:29:08.120 That's why, I mean, they're going after choke points on purpose, like the rail blockade in
00:29:12.100 Ontario, the blockade of the commuter rail here in the lower mainland, just outside
00:29:17.560 Vancouver, and really the two bridges, which are the only two emergency routes they've
00:29:22.000 blockaded at the same time that enter into downtown Victoria from Vic West and Esquimalt.
00:29:28.880 So, I mean, they're going after, this is their entire narrative that the entire country
00:29:33.680 is illegitimate, that Canada is a bad place.
00:29:37.240 You know, the hashtag that they're using is hashtag shutdown Canada.
00:29:40.640 So they're not exactly being shy about what they're trying to accomplish here.
00:29:44.500 And to be honest, Ezra, one of the most important things, I think, for your viewers to realize
00:29:50.040 and understand is that this is just a warm-up act for them.
00:29:53.760 This is the coastal gas link pipeline.
00:29:56.020 Not a lot has been talked about.
00:29:57.420 It's supported by all the First Nation bans.
00:29:59.620 It's natural gas.
00:30:01.220 This is a warm-up for TMX, Trans Mountain Expansion.
00:30:05.100 They are just, they are warming up for the level of, you think it's bad now, wait until
00:30:10.520 the TMX, which is a oil pipeline that terminates basically in downtown Vancouver, wait until
00:30:16.960 they direct the protest to that when they start actually building that portion of it.
00:30:21.340 You are exactly right.
00:30:23.440 That is very perceptive of you.
00:30:25.820 I mean, natural gas, you don't have an oil spill if, God forbid, a national gas pipeline
00:30:30.060 breaks.
00:30:30.740 It's just gas.
00:30:31.660 You smell the gas.
00:30:32.840 You turn it off.
00:30:33.400 And like you say, all the Indian bans support it.
00:30:37.960 Everyone supports it.
00:30:39.100 If they will do this over an innocuous, environmentally harmless, not that an oil pipeline is harmful,
00:30:46.360 but it's, this is so harmless.
00:30:51.560 This is so inconspicuous.
00:30:53.100 This is so uncontroversial.
00:30:55.140 They literally had votes and referenda in all these Indian bans.
00:30:59.300 They all support, if they will do it for this, imagine what they will do for an oil pipeline
00:31:04.700 about which there is some controversy.
00:31:07.560 And I think the protesters have had an outstanding success.
00:31:14.400 They haven't had a single police response other than clearing that weirdo, those weirdos
00:31:20.320 off of John Horgan's front yard today when they tried to do a citizen arrest.
00:31:23.700 Other than that, the police have done nothing or next to nothing.
00:31:28.500 The RCMP has done nothing.
00:31:30.320 The railway lines have been shut down next to nothing or nothing.
00:31:34.060 Mark Miller, the federal aboriginal minister, met with a band of rogue protesters, including
00:31:40.580 a guy who was arrested recently in a police raid.
00:31:44.020 Like, he's not meeting with aboriginal leaders.
00:31:46.420 He's meeting with rogue protesters.
00:31:48.020 I think these protests are actually supported by Trudeau because this gives him a way out
00:31:55.160 of approving pipelines that he really doesn't want to do.
00:31:58.460 Is that too crazy a theory that Trudeau is happy with this chaos?
00:32:02.160 Because he can say, well, you know, guys, you know me, I really like oil and gas, but
00:32:05.880 I can't do it because we'd have another OCA civil war on our hands.
00:32:09.560 Well, I mean, I can't speak to Justin Trudeau's deeper personal motivations, although I can
00:32:17.000 say when I look in his face now that he's finally back in Canada, it's the face of someone
00:32:21.780 who has absolutely no idea what to do in the current situation.
00:32:25.740 That's what I can tell for sure.
00:32:28.460 And as to his motivations, I think both for Justin Trudeau federally and John Horgan here
00:32:34.560 in BC, they're really reaping what they've sowed here by creating this culture of victimization
00:32:39.880 and which is kind of gave way to this myth that this project would somehow be bad for
00:32:45.480 the indigenous people of Canada, which they aren't.
00:32:47.900 They're huge job creators and can help, you know, thousands, tens of thousands get out
00:32:52.900 of this poverty trap.
00:32:54.300 So I'm not sure to Justin Trudeau's, it's, I'll tell you something, if this leads to the
00:32:59.380 cancellation of either Coastal GasLink or Trans Mountain, I can't imagine, not to mention
00:33:03.700 the tech resource project, by the way, in Alberta, which is another decision coming up.
00:33:08.200 I know Alberta, the anger there is, you know, on a knife's edge.
00:33:12.560 So I guess we'll just have to see how he balances those competing crises across Canada.
00:33:20.100 Yeah.
00:33:20.400 Well, you know, you've got Stephen Gilbeau in cabinet now.
00:33:23.280 He used to run Equiterre, which is like a Quebec version of the Suzuki Foundation.
00:33:27.760 He was literally convicted of a crime in his radical eco-protesting.
00:33:32.520 That wasn't very long ago.
00:33:33.700 You have Gerald Butts, who has returned gently to the Liberal Party after his self-exile.
00:33:40.980 He used to be the head of the World Wildlife Fund.
00:33:43.360 You have senior chiefs of staff in the government.
00:33:48.020 Marlo Reynolds used to be the head of the Pembina Institute.
00:33:52.540 You have Tides Foundation staff, who are now senior policy advisors in the PMO.
00:33:59.080 So your theory is this could just be a clueless guy whose head isn't in the game.
00:34:04.760 He's got his vacation look still going.
00:34:07.900 He just came back in his fourth junket in 2020.
00:34:10.900 There's a lot to say that maybe Trudeau's just mentally checked out.
00:34:14.260 But I don't think we can absolutely rule out that the deep state, so to speak, in Trudeau's government, all these unelected senior advisors,
00:34:24.820 and they sort of like this.
00:34:28.580 They sort of like the division.
00:34:30.920 They like the radicalization.
00:34:33.060 They like the sense of chaos.
00:34:35.480 I just think that both are possible.
00:34:38.080 And until we rule out that this is part of it, I mean, I don't want to, this isn't a conspiracy theory.
00:34:42.740 It's trying to explain why isn't he enforcing the law when Mark Garneau himself says there's a danger.
00:34:48.900 Last word to you, Aaron.
00:34:49.880 Bring me back to down-to-earth here.
00:34:52.200 I mean, I'm a rule-of-law kind of guy.
00:34:54.960 I don't understand why the RCMP haven't gone in, cleared the railroad tracks, laid charges where appropriate,
00:35:01.140 being gentle where appropriate, but sent out a signal.
00:35:05.320 Maybe I'm just out of touch with what rule-of-law looks like, but I think this is not just an accident.
00:35:13.020 I think something here is planned.
00:35:15.400 Disabuse me of that notion if you want.
00:35:18.920 Well, I think it really goes back to Trudeau specifically painting himself, I don't know what's in his heart of hearts,
00:35:27.560 and I definitely don't think that he's really someone that's staying up late at night,
00:35:32.180 setting the policy direction for his government.
00:35:34.020 But I think he has painted himself into a rhetorical corner by talking,
00:35:41.280 by encouraging this culture of victimization over the past four years,
00:35:45.360 and now he's put himself, backed himself into a corner where he can't do anything about it.
00:35:52.040 That's kind of what I lean towards, but it's been really, what's going on in Ontario is crazy.
00:35:57.420 Like in BC, at least they've been getting injunctions,
00:36:00.360 and after a couple of days worked to clear out the blockaded ports and stuff like that.
00:36:05.780 In Ontario, which has nothing to do, the Mohawks that are blockading this rail line,
00:36:09.660 has nothing to do with the Wet'suwet and Coastal Gaslink blockade.
00:36:12.900 They're blockading the most important rail route in the country,
00:36:15.840 and the government and CN has got an injunction for it,
00:36:19.200 and the police basically haven't been following the rule of law,
00:36:23.200 which says you have to enforce court injunctions, and they're just ignoring it.
00:36:26.460 And I think that's insane, basically.
00:36:30.840 And we're basically allowing ourselves to be taken hostage by a very small group of people.
00:36:35.480 Yeah, it's crazy.
00:36:38.100 I'm still looking for an explanation,
00:36:41.020 and I don't know if we'll know the real explanation for what's going on for many months or years.
00:36:47.200 I do know that many of the groups that are agitating are foreign-funded.
00:36:51.660 I'd see Sepora Berman, who works for the U.S.-based Stand.Earth.
00:36:55.760 She is fomenting and agitating.
00:36:58.480 They're based in the United States.
00:36:59.940 It's the Tides Foundation funding these rogue Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs.
00:37:05.560 That's public documents that we've exposed.
00:37:09.000 So we do know who some of the bad guys are.
00:37:11.720 Aaron, I'm glad you're one of the good guys.
00:37:13.100 Thanks for reporting in with us.
00:37:14.720 I want to find the truth, and it's hard to get that from the fog machine that is Justin Trudeau,
00:37:20.500 but we'll keep at it.
00:37:21.300 Thanks, my friend.
00:37:22.960 Thank you for having me.
00:37:23.980 All right, there you have it, Aaron Gunn.
00:37:25.360 I recommend his website, aarongunn.ca.
00:37:28.200 And, of course, he's one of the good guys in B.C.
00:37:30.880 who's been fighting an uphill battle, I'm afraid, in that province,
00:37:34.600 but hopefully to some effect.
00:37:36.640 Stay with us.
00:37:37.280 More Ahead on the Rebel.
00:37:46.760 Hey, what do you think about Trudeau having an emergency meeting
00:37:50.520 with all the parties except for the conservatives?
00:37:53.820 I think that's called a coalition government.
00:37:55.680 We now have an anti-Alberta, anti-oil and gas coalition propped up by the Bloc Québécois.
00:38:01.080 They are the third largest party in parliament, if you've forgotten.
00:38:04.460 It's incredible, but, as they say, shocking but not surprising.
00:38:09.560 I think Trudeau knows how he's going to sustain his minority government.
00:38:14.160 Kill the pipeline.
00:38:15.320 Kill the tech frontier mine.
00:38:17.060 Do you really think the Trans Mountain pipeline's ever going to get built either?
00:38:21.040 What an incredible and sad turn of events.
00:38:23.720 Folks, that's the show for today.
00:38:25.600 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:38:28.900 good night and keep fighting for freedom.
00:38:30.820 the the bill.
00:38:32.460 For now, next, we're going to meet now.
