Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown is a man of many things. He likes to talk about hockey, he likes to complain about other people playing hockey, and he likes a lacrosse bag with the name Gretzky on it. So why does he lie so much? And why do so many people hate him?
00:10:58.900So what was actually going on in here?
00:11:01.020Did this cameraman from the Rebel News catch you doing something you shouldn't have been doing?
00:11:07.860No, first of all, the city of Brampton, like any city that was entered into Stage 2, has been renting ice since June 24th.
00:11:17.340And under Stage 3, it's actually full gameplay is allowed across the province.
00:11:23.980So I guess this media entity, and I don't even want to call them a media entity given their history, was not aware that Ontario is in Stage 3.
00:11:36.120You know, I wasn't able to play that day, but I do play hockey once a week.
00:11:39.560I'm going to get out and play with my buddies this week.
00:11:43.360But, you know, I think this group likes to stir the pot.
00:12:26.440He just dropped by the rink to inspect the Zamboni that day or something.
00:12:30.620And then there's those ad hominem attacks, like our support for KKK rallies.
00:12:37.600Gee, I really hope one of our newest Rebel staffers, Drea Humphrey, doesn't find out that we wear those white pointy hoods when we're not on the air.
00:12:46.340I mean, we'd hate to lose a talent like Drea, but wait, there's more.
00:12:51.000To the video in the encounter, though, should you have been wearing a mask?
00:12:53.900Did they catch you not, you know, breaking the mask rule?
00:12:57.220So a normal media organization would check with bylaw to see whether that was included in our bylaw.
00:13:04.500The Brampton Guardian called the Brampton Bylaw Department, and they said for private rentals, you don't have to wear a mask.
00:13:13.140Like all indoor public settings, you have to wear a mask.
00:13:15.840So when I'm in the indoor public setting, I always wear a mask.
00:13:19.140But in private rentals, you're not required to.
00:13:22.120And so this organization didn't check with our mask bylaw.
00:13:26.560Yeah, so the Brampton Guardian, they know how to do journalism.
00:13:29.920But we did reach out to Brampton Bylaw via our lawyer, someone who archived the bylaws before and after our encounter with Brown.
00:13:40.260As I previously mentioned, the bylaw website was changed after the video aired to make Brown's former illicit activity completely kosher.
00:13:50.900Wonder why the Guardian didn't report that.
00:13:53.640Yet, in the final analysis, why do we care so much about Patrick Brown, the mayor of Brampton?
00:14:00.300Well, it's because he was actually the odds-on favorite to become the premier of Ontario back in 2018,
00:14:08.520had he not hoisted himself on his own petard of entitlement.
00:14:43.160Well, Patrick Brown had thrown social conservatives under the bus
00:14:47.340when he infamously flip-flopped on the Liberals' controversial sex ed curriculum.
00:14:53.100And then he followed up that bag-stabbing feat by throwing fiscal conservatives under the bus
00:14:59.320when he inexplicably announced that he would approve a carbon tax for Ontario.
00:15:04.860Yeah, a carbon tax that he had campaigned against while still a candidate for leader.
00:15:10.140Then there was his behaviour at local riding nomination meetings where allegations of fraud abounded,
00:15:16.320in which it was said that ballot boxes were being stuffed to ensure PC Party insiders and friends got elected,
00:15:25.020as opposed to the candidate of choice favoured by the grassroots.
00:15:29.200Rumours abounded that those who were going to vote PC in 2018 were simply going to stay home on Election Day or simply decline their ballots.
00:15:39.260Indeed, when there was no more conservatives to throw under the bus,
00:15:44.300well, the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, they threw Patrick under the bus.
00:15:48.700The PC Brain Trust came to the just-in-time realization that they were so many Dr. Frankensteins
00:15:55.940and Patrick Brown was their two-faced monster, a creature that was far more P for progressive than C for conservative.
00:16:05.480Internal polling indicated doom that this latest great white hope for the PC Party
00:16:11.500was going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, just like John Tory did in 2007,
00:16:18.460just like Tim Hudak did in 2011, just like Tim Hudak 2.0 did in 2014.
00:16:25.480And so it was in January 2018, within mere hours of allegations surfacing,
00:16:30.700that Brown was taking part in inappropriate behaviour with young women,
00:16:34.720that the perfect opportunity arose to gasp, Patrick, his staff entirely deserted him.
