00:00:00.000 Thank you.
00:00:30.000 good morning everybody i love it so bonjour bienvenue dans house arrest with
00:00:47.440 krits and tamera how's everybody doing today good to see everybody i'm exhausted sorry i'm just
00:00:54.480 going to put that out there right off the bat i am i'm exhausted i am just pushed you just drove
00:01:03.440 across the country i did you step back from ottawa i crossed two time zones yesterday and uh i got to
00:01:10.620 muslim in saskatchewan last night at like six o'clock i think it was saskatchewan time i'm like
00:01:15.000 why is my logbook saying that i should park and then i realized that i've been driving since 3 a.m
00:01:20.700 saskatchewan time i was still legal don't worry for all you trolls millie we don't want millie
00:01:25.280 going to twitter with this one legal but i uh and had supper and met a couple really cool people
00:01:32.840 one of the truckers come in and uh sat down beside me and we chit-chatted an old veteran
00:01:37.840 of the highway and also a retired uh rcmp member so good company wow yeah i'm just tired i got home
00:01:46.340 this morning and Big Red is officially in the mechanic shop getting a new transmission put in
00:01:52.820 here so most people that follow my social media know that I had troubles with my transmission
00:01:56.580 when I was in Ontario and I knew what the problem was but I had to get a shop to help me out to fix
00:02:03.720 it to get it working again so this guy's name is David and Winchester repair in Winchester Ontario
00:02:09.780 he came in on Monday on holiday Monday and during the oil and transmission we pulled the piece of
00:02:14.980 debris out of the PTO, my power takeoff, my hydraulics on the truck, and got me running
00:02:19.960 again. And I was able to limp the truck home. And now it's at my mechanics right now. We're
00:02:24.020 putting a new transmission in it. So 3.4 million kilometers on that transmission. That is the only
00:02:28.840 original component of Big Red from factory. We rebuilt it on the bench at 1.7 million when we
00:02:35.420 did the in-frame. And so yeah, something I can't do. I don't have a transmission jack heavy enough
00:02:40.900 to lift it in my shop so we rely on one of our good local mechanics to take care of that so
00:02:46.000 how was your week wow it was it was good uh not as busy as yours well i think it was busy but
00:02:53.760 not quite as busy as yours um i i have i'm tired today too i had i had to have a nap today

00:04:19.640 other than just saying he was uh he was a patriot and he stood and he fought hard and uh yeah our
00:04:27.300 thoughts and prayers are with Mark and his family and really sad to hear about his passing he was a
00:04:32.260 He was a true patriot, so.

00:04:42.860 I mean, I've obviously followed Mark for a long, long time,
00:04:45.720 and it's a huge loss for, you know, his family and the community, definitely.
00:04:50.420 I hope that there's, I'm sure there'll be a massive turnout for his funeral.
00:04:56.100 So I'm really glad that you get to go and sad that I won't get to go, but.
00:05:00.280 I got approved for it today.

00:06:02.100 bikers church in trury in ontario in ottawa on sunday uh via melissa mckee and rob mckee the
00:06:07.640 pastors and uh i took a load out to alexandria ontario for a local farmer and i was able to
00:06:14.280 pick my reload up like 15 20 minutes away from where i unloaded and then i booked some time so
00:06:20.280 i could attend church on sunday and i spent some time at the mckees residence outside of ottawa and
00:06:25.260 i don't know i've never met anybody that isn't awesome in the ontario region there were so many
00:06:34.180 people being read as i went from one town to another to get across the back roads and
00:06:38.880 and then i realized that they must be calling each other because i would turn somebody would
00:06:43.140 spot me and wave or honk and the next thing you know there'd be people with video cameras
00:06:46.720 somewhere else i got quite a few videos so it's it's really cool and quite humbling to see that
00:06:51.460 we get a lot of love from Ontario really um and we get a lot of love from the people of Ottawa
00:06:59.660 I haven't got to see Rob and Melissa's new place yet so I'm really happy that you got to get out
00:07:03.280 there it is awesome those the just an amazing little acreage outside of Ottawa with uh you

00:07:13.500 friend circle you get meals and a lot of family time and a lot of visiting and they've got a house
00:07:18.460 is set up just perfect for visiting it's like two big three big sitting rooms and a huge kitchen and
00:07:25.900 it was pretty cool met some awesome people no kidding well that was a great i know and i was
00:07:32.060 just in ottawa the week before which was pretty cool yeah dwayne says i don't have to eat your
00:07:40.540 mic six inches from your face i guess my mic's too close thanks babe
00:07:44.540 that's great having a sound guy for a husband
00:07:49.380 there we go especially um anyway at least we know he watches our show chris
00:07:55.900 oh susan says hello from bob cajun and we got jade in here from mexico
00:08:07.300 we got kevin in here from mexico nice um wow great good this good evening um well if you want
00:08:18.940 to support the channel you guys you can do so by giving sending a super chat or a super thanks and
00:08:25.200 of course we will read those on the air if you're watching after in a replay you can send a super
00:08:28.660 thanks we are also set up on rumble and substack now um thanks to tasha what else what did i forget
00:08:35.640 Thanks, Natasha. That's right. That's right. And again, I'm still trying to get my life sorted out so that I can figure out, because I'd really like to add the membership option and do some special episodes and stuff like that. Maybe just to find the day which is going to work for me. Winnipeg, Manitoba. We do love Winnipeg. And Marilyn from Ottawa. Hi, Marilyn. Welcome.
00:08:59.560 um met quite a few people from the church that were uh regulars at our trial for the last few
00:09:04.500 years uh it was really good to catch up with everybody there um just awesome it's mostly
00:09:09.820 Ottawa's their second home isn't it it kind of feels that way it does it's a beautiful city when
00:09:17.280 I go it's funny because you know especially because I post when I go but um I get so much
00:09:22.620 love when I get there it's just a lot of online sort of nonsense yep I got to see Doug um Doug
00:09:28.580 was there oh oh good yeah i didn't get to see i was in and out and you and you have a little bit
00:09:35.520 more freedom i think than i do when it comes to stuff like because you've got some leisure time
00:09:39.300 and all that kind of stuff yeah we are applying for a variation order to my condition so that
00:09:46.840 i'll be able to travel um to the states for work just like you're doing so i spoke to lawrence last
00:09:53.760 week and he was going to call the crown prosecutor so the way the process works if you want to have
00:09:57.460 your conditions changed is we could approach the parole officer my probation officer of course
00:10:02.880 that's that's above her her um decision making capabilities so then the next step is for the
00:10:09.760 lawyers to phone the crown prosecutor to ask for the variation if he agrees and they rewrite that
00:10:16.920 all up and if he doesn't agree then we take it before the judge um and it will be perkins mcveigh
00:10:22.220 pardon me and um but he seems to think you know since i've got a stellar uh a stellar record so
00:10:29.520 far of being a convicted criminal followed all my conditions got my uh community service done
00:10:35.040 volunteering you know um so he thinks i'll have a pretty good chance so i was in court
00:10:42.720 actually we could probably tell people what's going on in the states um chris if you should
00:10:48.400 i let everybody know what's shaken down there who have been in contact with um well i reached out
00:10:54.480 to rob schneider the actor a few weeks ago i saw him actually on the trigonometry podcast and if
00:11:00.360 you know rob schneider you follow him he is constantly advocating um carrie he's constantly
00:11:09.420 advocating for uh supporting canada supporting the truckers you know talking about the illegal
00:11:16.300 invocation of the emergencies act and so anyways i just wanted to reach out to him literally through
00:11:21.360 a friend i was just like you know this guy stood up and said the stuff and he's been so great to us
00:11:25.740 and at the very least i wanted to see if he'd come on the show and and just to say thank you
00:11:31.380 for all of his support so in the end we ended up doing a last minute interview um for his new
00:11:38.180 podcast and he wants to do a whole series on our situation and what's happened to our cases up here
00:11:45.220 and the convoy the freezing of the bank account so um that's one of the reasons why we are going
00:11:50.980 to we're trying to get this variation order and obviously there's other stuff with rebel news i'll
00:11:55.120 be going down to do but um anyways that's very exciting and it was really neat with the last
00:11:59.700 time i talked to him um well not the last time i talked to him but you know why when we called
00:12:04.800 to set up an interview and he just said i've been thinking a lot about this and i and we need to
00:12:09.680 make a series out of it like we need to let america know what's happening out there so um
00:12:14.340 a huge thank you to rob schneider i think this is going to be absolutely amazing i watch all of his
00:12:20.280 shorts on on on social media especially tiktok and i mean he lays it out the trolls in his audience
00:12:26.480 he smokes them exactly the way they need to be embarrassed um yeah i've always watched his movies
00:12:31.600 so it's that's awesome news i just had to point out my good friend gary i don't know if you
00:12:37.140 remember gary uh well you would chris he popped out to the poec for a while there with us so nice
00:12:41.860 to see you on here gary did you know i was in court on thursday did did you know that
00:12:47.920 for what diane my lawyer my lawyer called me yesterday coming through ontario uh it was just
00:12:54.460 about at the manitoba border i had to stop because the self-service was a little rough
00:12:57.540 um there is it's part of the civil lawsuit that we've been dealing with as most people know we're
00:13:02.380 being sued for 290 million dollars from citizens of ottawa and uh one of the restaurant orders in
00:13:07.360 the downtown area it's called what is it what's the restaurant called union 617 restaurant owned
00:13:13.400 by ivan getz the guy that dresses like a girl in dresses i've seen many pictures of him on social
00:13:18.700 media um he applied a motion politically correct i don't know maybe it is when you live in the glee
00:13:24.940 but anyway what interesting conversation took place he he filed the motion uh wanting all of
00:13:30.500 my cell phone documents released to him personally so obviously paul champ the lawyer suing us right
00:13:35.960 now is playing some backdoor deals or whatever he's working on right now but it was interesting
00:13:40.340 because diane and lawrence your lawyer and my lawyer are working on this case um so lawrence
00:13:46.440 is is literally down the street from the the local the union 617 bar and grill in ottawa and he said
00:13:53.400 this restaurant was not impacted by convoy the convoy was not in this area so we are going to
00:14:00.140 have fun with this guy under cross-examination at the last minute paul champ withdrew the the motion
00:14:05.600 or the affidavit from uh mr ivan getz i guess so uh it did go forward it did go forward then they
00:14:12.340 were still arguing they just did it without the affidavit of uh this guy is it ever gonna end
00:14:19.440 this is why we gotta fight back you know i think it is i these these people you know it's okay to
00:14:26.100 have a palestinian flag and burn canadian flags and chant death to canada and death to the prime
00:14:30.980 minister death to israel but it's not okay for however many thousands of canadians to stand there
00:14:36.660 peacefully protest on our nation's capital the government they're using the same tactics against
00:14:42.300 the independence movement in alberta right now that they used against us russian narrative u.s
00:14:47.360 narrative foreign influence money laundering it racism it's pathetic and this is why you know
00:14:57.260 like i said we need to fight back and um you and i were talking last week about you know how sort
00:15:03.060 of ironic it is that i have to file this lawsuit with the courts i mean i literally the only way
00:15:08.840 that i can fight back um is through the very system um the only way that i can seek justice
00:15:15.520 for what happened to me and prevent it from happening to Canadians going forward is through
00:15:20.500 the very system that's perverting the same justice you know like what what are we going to do we're
00:15:25.440 not going to go protest obviously um you know writing a letter to my MP or calling my MP
00:15:30.980 really doesn't seem to really doesn't seem to do much so you know it's time you're right it's time
00:15:37.780 and we've been very patient we've had to suck up a lot of stuff but you know it's finally getting
00:15:42.240 to the point now where we're going to be able to start pushing back a little bit so well look at
00:15:46.060 some of the stuff that we've been through um you know bridget belton equivalated uh melissa and
00:15:51.800 mckee you know the pastor from biker's church in my photo on facebook or twitter whatever where
00:15:57.500 i've ever seen it and she said that god basically looks at melissa and i is the same as a pedophile
00:16:03.840 and a murderer this is the vileness of of the we've the stuff that we've been subjected to over
00:16:09.680 the last number of years when you're dealing with people like the mentally ill chatty ross or
00:16:14.300 bridget belton or they're constantly at us every day and then you have to worry about the trolls
00:16:18.840 on the left which i'm really not sure if who's better or worse but this is enough already
00:16:25.760 yeah they're mostly bots you're right well we got eddie in backstage i see he made it successfully
00:16:33.340 so i'm going to introduce him but quickly before i bring him on there's one more thing i wanted to
00:16:37.720 mention. A good friend of mine who is also a veteran from Powell River is going in for his
00:16:43.860 cancer surgery tomorrow. He's living in Burnaby with his sister right now as he's been sick,
00:16:48.620 but his name is Ray Lust. I got to see Ray when I was in Vancouver for the Canada Strong and Free
00:16:54.060 Network Conference, and it's a fairly non-invasive surgery. The problem is that he doesn't do well
00:17:02.140 under anesthetic anesthesia so um if everybody out there could kindly say a prayer tonight for
00:17:07.820 my good friend ray lust who proudly served his country um he is a hero in my eyes and he's a
00:17:14.680 very good friend and i wish him a successful surgery for tomorrow and speaking of veteran
00:17:22.080 heroes backstage we have the one and only eddie cornell now i know a lot of you will know or be
00:17:28.820 very familiar with eddie um for those that you who don't he is retired warrant officer he served as
00:17:34.580 a gunner um that's so awesome because if i ever had a boy that's what i wanted to name him was
00:17:39.180 gunner um he was a gunner and he served from 1975 to 1974 eddie i was only like three years old when
00:17:47.800 you um when you joined i guess and then he served again from 2019 to 2013 and he was the recipient
00:17:56.880 of the Medal of Bravery. Welcome to House Arrest. Eddie, how are you?
00:18:04.640 Oh, mic's off there, Eddie. Oh, shoot. I can't hear you, buddy.
00:18:09.160 We just had this problem with Chris, too, but you're not muted, so
00:18:12.140 thank you, Susan. Don't worry.
00:18:16.940 Hey, technical stuff. I dealt with this before the show.
00:18:21.720 And then you're panicking, trying to hit buttons.
00:18:23.840 and you know what happened though is that i always send the link out and then we try we come on early
00:18:29.500 before the show starts so in case i didn't want to get every well i set the email out to you guys
00:18:33.520 today but i forgot to put the link in it so i noticed when i got to the office i just i just
00:18:40.340 clicked stream yard on my browser and i got right in so yeah i don't i do know that some people well
00:18:45.800 our very first show if you remember with brian peckford um he didn't realize it was a stream yard
00:18:50.260 link either and then we ended up i ended up just holding my phone to the microphone while
00:18:53.900 um our guest host trish wood asked him uh some questions we're here for the fans we're not
00:19:00.920 really that technical tasha's bringing us into the new age here with uh with her expertise and
00:19:05.580 pushing and we're getting there don't need to take your time we're good time yeah that's right
00:19:13.440 i met a i met a good guy and i was i had to stop because obviously i had uh transmission problems
00:19:19.680 and the mechanic was a little ways away um so i stopped in an aw parking lot and i met
00:19:25.680 one of the convoy guys that was running some fuel his name was michael and then somebody else pulled
00:19:29.600 in i believe i want to say his name was steve but cfb is a trenton air force base and he's
00:19:36.480 about he's in the middle in the armed forces um so i had an amazing chat with him and he said when
00:19:43.200 when convoy happened he was uh the the government was actively seeking the military to come be the
00:19:50.960 goons to beat the out of canadian protesters then they refused all of them refused yeah flatly
00:19:57.840 yeah i don't think it was too politely either no can we hear you yet it's all good i know um gosh
00:20:07.840 we were in ottawa for a while like quite a while before i realized that they were having the
00:20:12.560 services every day at the war memorial and i you know and we got to go um the last few the last few
00:20:19.120 ones we got to go to which was really nice but um you know there was nothing that made me so proud
00:20:26.080 as you know that when these guys um remember when they put the fences up around the war memorial
00:20:32.320 the city did and the veterans all came in and shoveled all the snow and they took down that
00:20:37.760 fence and they stacked it very nice and neatly and um and then they stood on guard and then they
00:20:44.560 stood on guard yeah yeah i walked around the corner that day i think i was at tom marazzo and
00:20:49.680 i were heading down to the war monument when the veterans took the the fence down and i got a
00:20:55.280 little bit of it on camera on a tick tock um it was emotional because then you know all these
00:21:00.800 veterans they took the fence down they're like we'll stand here and guard this of course the
00:21:05.120 media and the government made it sound like people were urinating on the war monument or
00:21:08.960 disgracing it and they weren't you know like there was animals in in ottawa so if there was
00:21:13.440 you know a yellow spot on the snow bank it obviously wasn't a person it could have been an
00:21:17.760 animal yes yeah we got chatty can you hear me there you go oh my apologies don't be somebody
00:21:31.760 doesn't want me to show up tonight i think that's what it is oh my god hey i gotta correct something
00:21:37.600 you went back to the beginning of my i am not a hero okay i just i'm just a guy so i that
00:21:47.680 all the heroes they they they are no longer with us that's the way i look at things
00:21:53.360 i like like that i agree i have a hard time with that too because i don't feel like a hero
00:22:00.240 people of course tell us that chris and i that also often but i think it's also a little bit
00:22:05.920 dangerous because i i don't want to be put on a pedestal because when you say the word hero when
00:22:10.880 i think of the word hero i think of something that i can never achieve i can never achieve that level
00:22:16.640 of um grandiosity or whatever you want to call it but anyone can anyone can do what all three
00:22:24.000 of us in this chat have done so i i yeah i i appreciate the sentiment but um i'm just me
00:22:33.040 yep i'm just a guy oh by the way you know you mentioned i was a gunner well i have my alaska
00:22:39.120 malamute right here beside me his name is gunner so oh really oh wow cool nice that's awesome
00:22:46.960 so how have you been eddie i've talked a few times the last little while good it's so good to see you
00:22:51.840 guys um it's unbelievable how five years have passed you know we've we've been through hell
00:22:59.280 and back all of us and uh there's still a long road to go and just you know today with the post
00:23:06.160 that you mentioned um you know v4f well i'm sure we'll get to that but i just i couldn't resist
00:23:12.000 looking down in the comments oh my god we can't live amongst these people they're just like
00:23:17.040 i think i'll take part responsibility for that eddie because as soon as my name is mentioned
00:23:25.920 i seem like i trigger the left i like to play with them and i troll them and i comment back
00:23:30.560 on them and if you ignore them they eventually go away but i believe every troll deserves a little
00:23:36.220 bit of attention so yes i would never agree yeah i just wouldn't call people some of the names
00:23:44.220 they call in in their comments i mean you can you can be critical of someone but you don't have to
00:23:51.940 go to the the sewer with your language you know the way the way that i see them um trashing all
00:23:58.360 of us and it's i would ask these people what have they done to make a difference that's what i would
00:24:03.820 ask them well they simply complied i think and that's what i usually i hit them back with that
00:24:08.560 they're like you're you're a criminal while and you complied so good job i mean one of the best
00:24:14.880 comments i saw today was yeah veterans for freedom defecated on the war memorial oh my gosh i tell
00:24:23.040 them to turn the tv off because you've been lied to you know the sad part the absolute sad part
00:24:29.120 of that is is that most of the well a good portion of the people that are commenting are trolls or
00:24:33.520 bots like most of them aren't even real people um but second of all i mean to just i like i i don't
00:24:40.000 care what they call me but i mean veterans have always had a very very special place in my heart
00:24:44.800 um and i know that there's bad ones just as much as there's good ones um but you know that really
00:24:50.640 is disheartening and most of these people that are real humans that are making these comments
00:24:54.720 you know were in bc at the time or they were in northwest territory like they're not even from
00:24:59.680 ottawa and weren't even there so i don't even pay attention to that stuff anymore i do the
00:25:06.960 investigation into them i actually click on their profile and look through their photos and a lot of
00:25:11.040 times a lot of times they look like they're in their 60s or 70s which my father's 73 i was sitting
00:25:17.200 having coffee with dad i think it was last week the week before and i said i couldn't imagine my
00:25:22.000 73 year old father saying some of the ridiculous things that i see 77 year old people say to me on
00:25:28.560 social media and then when you look through their profiles you see pictures of their grandchildren
00:25:33.040 their family and i'm like do better this is where we're living do better you know they're all the
00:25:40.400 no space for hate crowd right no space for hate but then they're on there calling you like a cnx
00:25:45.440 tuesday or you know wishing you would just die or a ukraine flag in the profile last week and i i
00:25:52.720 I can't identify with the boomers.
00:25:57.600 I just can't.
00:25:58.500 I'm not one of them, maybe on paper,
00:26:02.200 but I just can't relate to that mindset.
00:26:05.540 I just, like they're not from the same era as me.
00:26:11.680 And it's disturbing for me to, I mean,
00:26:16.020 to see the level of stupidity by a generation
00:26:20.620 holds the rest of the country you know ransom with uh outdated ideas and uh nonsensical thinking
00:26:29.020 that you know is put us where we are now yeah agreed well veterans veterans for freedom was one
00:26:37.340 of the one of the organizations that was built from convoy eddie and you were one big part of
00:26:42.220 that group can you tell us a little bit about uh v4f please yeah um there was five of us that
00:26:47.660 But after the convoy, we decided that, you know, we need to keep going with this.
00:26:53.240 We can make a difference because in, you know, at the trucker convoy, a lot of veterans showed up and stood up.
00:27:02.320 And we really sort of took inventory of why did they come.
00:27:07.700 And a lot of the reasons that we came up with was, one, that they were used as lab rats with malatoquine.
00:27:17.660 And a lot of them were vaccine injured in the past.
00:27:21.000 And then, you know, two, they didn't like the direction the country seems to be going and needed to speak up.
00:27:28.400 But we all basically decided when we were there that we were going to be the buffer of reason between the police and the people.
00:27:37.260 and that's why a lot of our guys stood in the middle and tried to calm things down and not let
00:27:44.140 things get out of hand and try to keep the police from you know becoming what they did and i guess
00:27:50.560 you know there was no stopping that uh mindset by the police because they were prepped before they
00:27:55.600 got there of what they were going to do so their whole opinion of what we all were all of us
00:28:02.980 veterans and and the rest of our communities there were and they were going to carry out that act no
00:28:08.560 matter what but so we decided that you know i think we made a bit of a difference in some things while
00:28:15.020 we were there as as veterans you know not all the veterans agree with us we take a lot of crap
00:28:20.240 postings on x and facebook you name it and you know other veterans calling us out calling us
00:28:28.020 stolen battle or you name it but that's okay we're not we're not here for all veterans we're
00:28:33.120 we're here for veterans that believe that our our country needs some help we need to we need to put
00:28:40.220 it back on track because we've been asleep at the wheel all of us and we've let people infiltrate
00:28:46.040 all of our systems and basically hijack our country under our noses while we slept and
00:28:52.180 And I hope it's not too late. I feel it's not too late. But I know that, you know, I say to people, be prepared. It's a long fight. We're not all going to hit the finish line. All of us aren't going to make it there strictly because of, you know, in my case, you know, 69 years old, I might time out before things happen.
00:29:13.020 And a lot of people have been left behind who didn't make it.
00:29:15.900 So we have to finish the fight for all of the people in the country and all of those who won't be there to finish it.
00:29:23.440 We can't let that happen.
00:29:24.920 We just we we need to get back to where we were and make it better than it once was.
00:29:31.840 You know, I had the great fortune of growing up in a time where Canada was a great nation.
00:29:37.540 To me, Canada died the day that they beat everybody in Ottawa.
00:29:42.200 that's the Canada that died and we're trying to pick up the pieces and put it
00:29:47.600 back together and I hope we're successful mm-hmm I know I've talked to a
00:29:53.600 few vets too and that obviously were there and well even Chris Deering
00:29:57.260 testified and and at the Public Order Emergency Commission and one of the
00:30:02.180 things that I'll never forget that he said was what you just mentioned and he
00:30:05.520 he was an injured veteran by the way badly injured in Afghanistan and he
00:30:13.020 went because he he knew what was coming he knew what the police were gonna do
00:30:18.760 and he knew that the civilians on the ground were not prepared for what was
00:30:22.680 about to come and so like you said a lot of the vets that were there you know
00:30:27.200 stood I was in jail already Chris was on his way home but you know you know they
00:30:32.620 stood there like you said as a buffer to protect canadian citizens even still you know it was amazing
00:30:40.460 and you know it was just surreal i was really surprised that just how many veterans actually
00:30:45.660 came to ottawa i mean one of my best friends now in life uh big scott i don't know if you remember
00:30:51.020 him scott henderson um i was at the war memorial and this big guy came up to me and he says are
00:30:57.100 you eddie i said yeah he goes yeah i heard your call to come and i got my truck and here i am
00:31:02.940 what do you need me to do so and he came all the way from you know people driving from bc when
00:31:10.540 they heard it so i was like it was really um how would you describe it it was it really hit home
00:31:19.980 with me you know when the guys answered the call and came and uh they did what they did and so many
00:31:27.560 veterans who you see doing things still across the country making small differences in their
00:31:33.500 communities and you know i think it's i think it's great i mean uh you know they're they're
00:31:39.140 they're doing their best where they can and i think i think people you know that trash our
00:31:45.760 organization veterans for freedom they have no idea what we've done behind the scenes and i'm not
00:31:51.200 doing it to brag but we have we have done a lot for people that are in distress in this country
00:31:58.320 and you know we've raised we've raised a lot of money for people and help their situations which
00:32:04.720 you know of tomorrow with you know i won't mention names but um that it's made a difference in some
00:32:12.080 people's lives in a big way and you know if we got to take some incoming fire because they don't
00:32:17.400 know any better or it's just something that they get you know uh get pleasure out of by trashing
00:32:22.960 us that's okay we can take it you know um what we have zero what's the expression we have zero f's
00:32:30.040 to give yeah i mean we're not going to get a butter butthurt out of being called a few
00:32:39.040 a few names and stuff we it just it it makes us laugh when we have our morning coffee so
00:32:44.180 you know anybody out there that wants to throw all the shit posts at us keep it coming because
00:32:48.640 we love it and you know it's the best thing we see in the mornings when we have our coffee
00:32:53.000 i am uh those that don't know go ahead go ahead i was just gonna i just wanted to mention that
00:32:59.260 uh veterans for freedom has actually raised over five hundred thousand dollars um total to help
00:33:04.700 um vaccine injured people to help people with their legal fees in different cases
00:33:10.200 to help fellow veterans so you guys are doing amazing work i was getting a little bit i hadn't
00:33:16.360 heard much from v4f for a while so i'd actually been meeting before all this came about um to
00:33:21.220 reach out to find uh you know out what was happening but i see that you've made some changes
00:33:25.480 but you guys are ramping up to um to um be more visible again we are and you know we're going to
00:33:33.960 hand the reins over to new leadership and that'll be coming up fairly soon because you know fresh
00:33:39.760 blood fresh ideas and veterans for freedom is uh going to be back stronger than ever and you know
00:33:47.000 we've got some great guys in the organization and you know we don't want a top-down organization we
00:33:53.100 want to bottom up and you know some of our our best ideas come from our members right across the
00:33:59.160 country so uh some people have stepped up and in the coming weeks and months or so you'll see
00:34:05.280 uh some real changes with veterans for freedom and um and of course you know i i don't know when
00:34:12.600 you want to mention um with the um the sales of the merchandise and so on for yourself sure we
00:34:19.760 can do that yeah we can do that yeah while we're talking about it yeah that's absolutely amazing
00:34:23.540 okay go ahead well you know we we thought how can we help you tamara you know with that with the
00:34:30.020 lawsuit that you've got going so what we're doing is from all the sales that people uh purchase from
00:34:36.500 veteransforfreedom.ca um all the profits for that merchandise is going to go straight to your legal
00:34:43.220 team now there's three things on there let me just name them here that aren't part of that because
00:34:48.340 they're from some of our outside friends and that's daisy media ethos and heiress project
00:34:54.420 and mayday but everything else site-wide on veterans for freedom is uh all profits are going
00:35:01.700 to you and like your lego team and we're happy to be able to do that because you know what you
00:35:07.540 guys have been through in the past five years most people would have uh been completely devastated
00:35:14.660 and crushed and you know the the the mental strength and physical strength that you guys
00:35:20.920 have shown and resilience i mean that's very rare it's a very rare quality and uh we love you guys
00:35:29.680 and uh we want you to we want you to succeed because when you win we win too
00:35:35.260 absolutely i've always said this when when we were in ottawa convoy one of the proudest moments i
00:35:41.220 think I could have been for just a civilian attending that thing with with all it was was
00:35:45.260 to be there with the veterans I was there we walked down the day they took the the gates around
00:35:50.860 down around the war monument there and I got a little bit of on camera and then I was there when
00:35:55.780 the when the goon squad showed up to stomp our feet you know for taking those fences down and
00:36:00.560 we stood our ground we held the line and they they backed down and they went away and what did
00:36:05.920 veterans for freedom do and that you know those vets they stood on guard and they protected that
00:36:09.960 war monument for the remainder of the of the protest up until you know police beat the living
00:36:14.940 daylight set of veterans on that you know that ground chris deering lost his war his medals on
00:36:23.280 the ground there it's graceful it's disgraceful yeah and here we are four and a half years later
00:36:29.960 and there's zero accountability for any of the actions taken by government officials or
00:36:34.400 those goons they weren't law enforcement officers they were goons because i know many many many
00:36:39.240 amazing law enforcement officers members out here and those weren't them they were goons
00:36:44.200 100 you know chris he's the best guy and you know when he said he said to the police you know i'm a
00:36:52.760 severely wounded veteran all i ask is don't hurt me if you're going to arrest me i'll go completely
00:36:58.280 willingly and when they pulled him from the ranks and threw him down to the ground and three of them
00:37:03.320 putting the boots to him that was the most disgusting thing I think I witnessed and and
00:37:10.280 then you know some of the others like Big Scott they took him out to a holding area outside of
00:37:15.380 town in 25 below weather and then left them there you know after two hours of riding around in a
00:37:22.880 paddy wagon that's that's that's respect and you know it's just it it was disgusting that any I
00:37:32.580 it wasn't just veterans but i mean anyone that was treated with such disregard you know it's
00:37:39.140 for for everyone that was it was just such a peaceful protest nobody nobody showed violence
00:37:45.060 that was the best part you know nobody showed violence and it exposed them for the tyrants that
00:37:50.820 they were and the world the world saw it and it changed the world it really did yeah people don't
00:38:01.060 a lot of people don't know about the starlight tours as they're called and and the police
00:38:05.700 literally were driving people like you said to the outskirts of ottawa dropping them off in a snow
00:38:11.060 storm a lot of them their cell phones didn't work anymore because their batteries have gone dead
00:38:15.700 especially in the extreme cold i think it was like i know it was a snowstorm i believe is about minus
00:38:20.980 30 degrees out um so a lot of people and they were dropped off and said hey if you go that way um
00:38:27.780 you're going to be arrested again this is your options go here or here and if you go that way
00:38:31.380 you're going to be arrested again and they were just dropped off there it's like it is lucky
00:38:37.620 nobody died yeah it is lucky nobody died but if they would have we they wouldn't have told us
00:38:42.180 about it eddie no they wouldn't saskatoon police did that to indigenous people years and years ago
00:38:47.460 and they were held accountable dragging indigenous people out into the country just dropping them off
00:38:51.860 and letting them freeze to death and and those same same goons did that exact same thing to
00:38:57.060 peaceful protesters at convoy like beating our war our our war heroes honored the war monument ground
00:39:04.020 is i don't know how much lower you can get as a government or as a government agency
00:39:08.980 well you you know just when you think they've gotten to their lowest point they go lower
00:39:13.380 you know like with what's happening in alberta you know they use that playbook because it works
00:39:19.060 You know, when I was testifying for the Emergency Act challenge to the government,
00:39:29.140 you know, here I am in front of all the government lawyers and whatnot, and I got sworn in. And the
00:39:37.380 first thing that they asked me, well, they said to me, is it not true that you're a white supremacist
00:39:46.580 than a nazi i just fell out of my care no kidding that was the first thing unbelievable yeah they
00:39:56.740 run with that narrative because it works because you have the ctv people or cbc people that sit
00:40:01.540 there and watch the nightly news and they take their direction based on what that tv tells them
00:40:05.380 at night look at look at how they've done with the whole donald trump narrative you know people
00:40:09.380 in this country hate the u.s profoundly because of what the tv told them to they also hate their
00:40:15.300 family members too because the government told them that unvaccinated people were unhealthy and
00:40:20.300 they shouldn't be around them so this is the conditioning of society it is and think about
00:40:25.680 this you know when our guys were fighting in afghanistan and our guys got injured and wounded
00:40:29.620 and killed it was the american shoppers that showed up and they didn't put the american guys in
00:40:34.780 ahead of any canadians they took it didn't matter they took canadians they took americans
00:40:40.760 and they were treated like their own so i love the united states i love the american people
00:40:48.000 and i will never uh say a discouraging word because um i think they're wonderful people
00:40:54.940 i really do and they put up for us are we did you want to talk a little bit eddie about what
00:41:00.300 happened this week with the pentagon warning canada that it's no longer going to look after
00:41:03.740 our defense systems in canada here like we're in some serious trouble here this government is but
00:41:08.080 our government is doing some pretty horrible things right now for the safety and security
00:41:13.440 of canadians they really are think about a large a large number of the new recruits in canada
00:41:20.080 have been in the country less than three months yes and i don't know if you saw the report where
00:41:26.800 they had infighting tribal fighting and there were and you won't see this in uh you know mainstream
00:41:33.040 media but you know gang rapes of other fellow female recruits i mean come on this i mean don't
00:41:40.880 even speak one of our official languages and and just think about it you know um they wanted to
00:41:49.600 they in my this is just my opinion i think they want to form a sort of mercenary army that will
00:41:56.400 because at the convoy the military said hey we're not coming in that's it and now these guys will
00:42:02.720 come in anytime the government says in fact two years ago under bill blair when he was defense
00:42:08.400 minister right he they changed the mandate that the forces now don't have to have an emergency
00:42:13.920 declared to be able to use and augment it as police so and what do you do import the third
00:42:19.040 world you've got a mercenary army kicking all the people that you know um stand up for their moral
00:42:25.200 convictions and and just hire a you know a military that's not qualified it's disgraceful
00:42:31.680 it is the canada's military is is uh it's in really bad shape that's about the best i can say
00:42:41.780 and yeah it's going to take a decade just to get back to where we're ready to build again
00:42:48.880 yeah and i mean that's the sad thing and like i do talk to a lot of veterans and
00:42:54.680 you know i mean to see what not just the country has become but what the military has become
00:43:01.660 I mean, you know, a lot of veterans are disappointed and so disappointed and just sick to their stomachs that they, that they sacrificed, you know, they lost friends.
00:43:14.360 They, you know, for what?
00:43:16.780 They didn't fight for Canada and the military to become what it is today.
00:43:21.980 I know that for sure.
00:43:24.120 Yeah.
00:43:24.800 You know, we take a lot of incoming fire from other veterans.
00:43:27.440 And like I say, we don't speak for all veterans as veterans for freedom.
00:43:30.100 we take a lot of crap posting but you know when we do a lot of research on the ones that really
00:43:34.540 trash us you know they might have been a reservist for six months and worked in the kitchen
00:43:38.640 so i mean and not trying to berate them but i mean you know like
00:43:45.720 so you take it for for what it's worth you know absolutely how old were you when you decided to
00:43:54.840 go into the military or when you entered the military and and why did you decide to go into
00:43:59.480 the military? What made you want to join? Well, there's a couple of things. I joined at 17,
00:44:06.700 and my girlfriend's father was a World War II veteran, and he liked me, I think. And maybe it
00:44:13.620 was his way of getting rid of me. He pulled me aside, and he said, Eddie, you know, you'd be
00:44:19.320 good in the military. You should think about joining. A week later, boom, I was gone.
00:44:22.920 wow yeah and uh i didn't regret a minute of it it was fantastic i bet you know i was a kid not uh
00:44:33.180 i didn't have the best life uh you know that early life and um it sure straightened me out i
00:44:41.180 you know i found a purpose and uh you know learned how to uh you know be the person i wanted to be
00:44:51.400 And the biggest thing I learned with all my years in the military is what I'm not.
00:44:56.600 If that makes sense.
00:44:58.020 Absolutely.
00:44:58.980 That makes perfect sense.
00:45:00.920 Yeah.
00:45:01.280 I always wanted to go into the military.
00:45:03.000 I can shine a boot.
00:45:04.420 I was in air cadets for a while when I was in my teenage years.
00:45:07.840 And I remember, of course, we got to go to CFB Moose Jaw and go up in the glider.
00:45:14.040 And we went to CFB, is it Cold Lake?
00:45:17.160 Yeah, the one in Cold Lake.
00:45:18.660 And did some stuff there.
00:45:19.460 and actually when i was young and in and in air cadets my dream was to grow up join the military
00:45:24.260 and become an air traffic controller okay but of course that didn't pan out well you know life
00:45:31.060 throws uh curveballs and you're going to go like yeah would you ever have dreamed uh you know six
00:45:38.900 seven years ago that you'd end up doing what you were doing none of us did no i think i think it
00:45:44.980 and this is my just my humble opinion i think all of us that were put there all the people that came
00:45:52.820 were chosen to come does that make sense yeah it does because we're just ordinary people
00:46:00.740 and yet yes we move the needle you know yeah and it just shows what ordinary people can do
00:46:09.540 yeah we did i always tell people when they when i meet people on the road driving truck that you
00:46:14.340 You know, I just, I'm just a guy, I'm just a truck driver from Saskatchewan that got
00:46:17.480 involved with something way bigger than I ever anticipated it being.
00:46:21.060 And I've been on one hell of a ride for the last, you know, four or five years, but I'm
00:46:25.700 still standing and I'm standing because the grace of God, if you were involved in Convoy,
00:46:30.260 you felt the spirituality in, in Convoy and just what we were doing there.
00:46:35.080 It was, you couldn't not, you couldn't not feel it.
00:46:37.940 It's true.
00:46:39.220 The, the energy was unbelievable.
00:46:41.280 and yeah I I've never experienced anything like that in my life I you know of all the things in
00:46:47.940 my life I think that was the most significant event life-changing event that I've ever experienced
00:46:54.200 ever wow after all that time serving in the military that's incredible yeah it really was
00:47:00.980 i mean i i never felt um i guess more um rewarded for actually doing something than that right and
00:47:17.220 and i think a lot everybody that was there probably felt the same thing yeah absolutely
00:47:24.180 you're bringing me back to memories of that too like vincent gersey um and you were quite often
00:47:29.300 together and always together i watched the rivalry between drew and tom and you know we're buddies
00:47:36.980 and they just beat the daily together verbally all day long and oh you know i met some amazing
00:47:43.620 veterans oh i met a lot of amazing people period but some of the veterans that showed up you know
00:47:48.500 and and those friendships that were there i wouldn't trade it you know i had a conversation
00:47:53.300 with my my lawyer called me the other day and i said to diane when i was talking to her i said my
00:47:58.420 probation officer in one of my meetings about three weeks ago she was commenting on the fact
00:48:02.900 that i i have yet to show any remorse for my actions in ottawa i said to diane i'm like do
00:48:09.860 i have to show remorse she said no no you don't no you've been sentenced you're serving your
00:48:15.620 sentence right now you don't have to show remorse for anything tell her to stick it in her you know
00:48:20.820 um and i kind of think your cso or po or whatever you want to call her was just picked on in high
00:48:26.100 school or maybe she didn't get a nice looking boyfriend or something i don't know but maybe
00:48:31.220 maybe she watches the nightly news who knows
00:48:36.180 think of your circumstances both of you you know you get house arrest for doing what nothing you
00:48:41.780 did nothing wrong no and yet you know you see what goes on in our communities with people that
00:48:47.220 actually commit crimes and violent crimes and they get slaps on the wrist i mean there's a way look
00:48:54.100 at it there's three levels of justice in this country one for the elites one for the chosen
00:48:59.220 groups and the one for the rest of us and um i think you know it's disgraceful and you know here
00:49:07.380 here's the part that you know drew and i talk about this often you know drew from for the people
00:49:13.220 that don't know andrew mcgilfrey with um veterans for freedom with me and it is that these are the
00:49:21.620 same the people that show the vitriol and hatred towards us would wish us dead they wish us to die
00:49:30.980 yeah i see it every day see it every day i got i got the dms in my inboxes yep oh i get i know it
00:49:39.220 doesn't make any sense yeah and and and and then you have like a place like toronto where i mean
00:49:45.520 they're not even trying to catch criminals anymore it's just leave your keys by the door so that they
00:49:49.200 and just steal your car and and you won't get in the way i mean it doesn't make any sense but you
00:49:55.120 know what this is literally in my opinion just god continuing expose what is going on in canada
00:50:00.880 and what is happening in our parliament our parliament has gone rogue 100 yeah and there's
00:50:07.840 no stopping it and here's the takeaway that i had yeah absolutely um i was in ottawa for the canada
00:50:15.600 a strong and free conference um last weekend i guess it was and and you know people are really
00:50:22.100 getting to that point again where they're starting to feel really frustrated they're starting to feel
00:50:26.000 like they have no hope because we have a government a liberal government that literally just stole a
00:50:31.720 majority for the first time in history um which has basically taken out the opposition there's
00:50:37.240 absolutely nothing they can do now like nothing um and i listened to polyev's speech and i don't
00:50:42.680 mind Pierre Polyev but you know his speech was just basically liberals bad Trudeau bad Cardi's
00:50:48.300 bad conservators are gonna fight fight fight well that's great well how are you gonna fight
00:50:53.540 what can you possibly do with a stolen supermajority that you are going to do other than get up in
00:50:59.120 front of a camera and say mean things about these people but people are really starting to feel like
00:51:04.520 you know the EA emergencies act appeal just keeps getting kicked down the road kicked down the road
00:51:11.120 there's no justice there we just went through this crazy pandemic there hasn't even been an inquiry
00:51:16.960 about into any of that yet which is unheard of especially for a global event that that was
00:51:22.320 supposed to be um and i think honestly eddie that's why a lot of people are really getting
00:51:27.600 behind my crowdfund for my lawsuit because they feel like it's a way at least that we can
00:51:33.120 sort of push back somehow and the irony is is that you know we have to go into the same system
00:51:40.640 to try and seek some justice that's perverting justice to begin with because that's our only
00:51:45.680 course of action well you know they want us to go kinetic is what they in my opinion yes they do
00:51:53.160 you know but here's an idea just a thought and a random thought of mine is okay the liberals
00:51:59.260 control everything well here's an idea all of us invade their party and become delegates and take
00:52:06.180 it over that's it yeah yeah you know that's that's one tactic i mean that is a great tactic
00:52:14.020 it can be done yeah it's amazing that they're shutting the cameras off in committees right now
00:52:21.100 they're uh they're they're silencing anyone questioning what they're doing i heard a story
00:52:25.680 yesterday i believe it was they're they're moving money around right now there's billions of dollars
00:52:29.880 being allocated into what shelf put aside um our snowbirds our snowbirds are grounded at the end
00:52:39.120 of 2026 season you know and of course through the left he's out there saying well they need to be
00:52:44.140 maintenanced you know what year is uh donald trump's helicopters that fly him around on those
00:52:49.280 are ancient and they are maintained maintenance maybe if we i said this in a social media post
00:52:54.280 a little while ago maybe if we painted the snowbirds yellow and blue mark carney might
00:52:58.020 support them well they took four billion dollars out of the veterans uh you know veterans affairs
00:53:09.780 budget there's a there's the first one and then they are not they're reducing the funding for
00:53:17.220 seniors for uh dental and uh drugs across the country so yeah they really care about canadians
00:53:23.780 and you know um and they're sending money you know to the uh ukraine government hand over fist and
00:53:31.940 funny how freeland is there as their financial advisor who's a good friend of mark carney and
00:53:40.900 he's the godfather to her children can you see can you spell money right before she left don't
00:53:49.540 forget at christmas time right before she quit um he just made a random trip to uh maritimes i
00:53:56.100 believe it was with a suitcase full of money and sent that off to ukraine too and then like two
00:54:00.420 days later or three days later i think she she resigned that was really bizarre also but yeah
00:54:06.420 she's definitely uh they're definitely laundering some money over there but i guess those ukrainian
00:54:12.980 into hookers and cocaine must be super expensive yeah who knows the corruption is everywhere right
00:54:19.880 now and uh it just i had this conversation with a guy the other day it's like when are people
00:54:24.140 going to wake up and see this i feel like we're going down a slippery path in this country where
00:54:28.620 where the government's pushing people to the to another not an uprising but there's going to be
00:54:33.460 something happen because people out here don't feel like their voices are being heard they're
00:54:37.880 being silenced they're being run through the courts and then they're taking people's property
00:54:42.780 you know yeah yeah yeah like they're coming at you at record pace and now you know what the bills
00:54:50.220 they're trying to pass through as a majority like c22 we're at north korea level of um government
00:54:58.040 overreach into your life and um it's what about the spy plane i mean there hasn't been any any
00:55:08.720 accountability or anything for the spy plane that flew over the convoy that
00:55:13.320 first yes I mean that's something they scraped all that data off of all those
00:55:23.300 cell phones without a warrant and think about a warrant do you think that the
00:55:28.840 information stopped there so now they've been using that information ever since
00:55:35.820 for everyone that was there so they can track and know where everybody was or where they lived that
00:55:42.680 they came from they've got all your passwords all of your information and they're they're setting
00:55:49.520 up profiles to you know with their ai computers to kind of keep an eye on um things and see if
00:55:56.320 there's patterns and so on that was a real intelligence gathering um exercise for them
00:56:03.420 and it's still in play yeah 100 it is they're not going to take eddie what is it going to take for
00:56:11.100 people to wake up in this country and say enough i mean we did the most patriotic thing by standing
00:56:15.420 there peacefully protesting in ottawa and we were peaceful despite what people see on the news it
00:56:20.540 was a peaceful protest we cleaned the streets we fed the homeless we were standing up for
00:56:24.700 canadians and when you're looking at the vaccine injured people right now across this country
00:56:28.780 those are the things that we were trying to prevent um we've got a pandemic of cancer but
00:56:34.060 nobody talks about it you know it's it's off the charts with people that are getting side effects
00:56:39.500 from these vaccines but nothing to see here and it's it's it's disturbing you know they
00:56:47.100 i don't know if people will wake up i i really don't i i you know you you would have thought by
00:56:52.300 now but i i don't know what it is that makes them so they can't see and i mean you could you could
00:57:00.300 lay out the papers right in front of them and say here it is here's the facts this and they'll go
00:57:06.060 oh that's fake you know and it it's like so what i think is that you form your own communities you
00:57:15.740 stay out of the system as much as possible you you keep your friends and your family close and you
00:57:20.540 build that circle of trust and you build your own community and try to resist all the incoming fire
00:57:27.420 from the government overreach that and and i think that's how we have to move forward i really do um
00:57:34.140 because everybody waits for someone else to stand up oh somebody should do something you know and
00:57:41.340 they get on their keyboard oh well you know and trash you because you do something but yeah they
00:57:48.140 don't actually stand for anything no no they're cowering you know i've got a few dms lately and i
00:57:55.740 don't check them very often but i did check them the last couple days and um because of course i've
00:58:01.420 got people that want to donate to my fundraiser that don't want to put it in the give send go
00:58:05.020 because i don't want to be doxxed or have their bank accounts frozen so anyways but in some of
00:58:10.460 those and some of those messages people are like tamara we got to do something you need to start
00:58:14.700 another convoy we got to do something we got to do something and like i'm not i'm not done dealing
00:58:19.660 with the first one second of all a convoy is not going to work it's never going to happen again
00:58:25.020 i mean we know they were meeting for weeks and weeks and weeks after to make sure that that
00:58:29.420 we wouldn't even get close to ottawa even if we tried number two and number three like
00:58:36.620 people have to stop waiting for somebody to come and save them there's things that everybody can
00:58:42.060 do and i don't mean go out and you know try to be a hero and you know do something stupid but
00:58:47.180 there's different ways that people can use their own gifts and talents and get involved in in
00:58:52.380 certain things or like you just said even just a matter of you know who you associate with and
00:58:57.660 sort of finding your tribe and trying to get out of the system as much as you can um there's a lot
00:59:02.780 of things that people can do but i mean i'm sure chris gets the same like we got to start another
00:59:08.700 convoy well it's not we it's you you got to start another convoy like if i even said okay or replied
00:59:14.620 something i mean i could god go to jail yeah they'd be knocking at your door i mean right away
00:59:21.100 a hundred percent this week i went when i went to ottawa with big red this week i mean everybody's
00:59:28.460 been trying to promote this convoy on the 16th of may for for the last few months here right
00:59:33.660 and i'm like oh crap i'm on my way east with big red right now i'm hoping i don't see anything
00:59:39.260 and i didn't it was another failed attempt obviously i've told this to people for the
00:59:43.660 last few years get involved with your local community get involved change it from within
00:59:47.980 just like what you said about you know infiltrating the liberal party of canada and changing the
00:59:52.220 delegates it's it's the same thing get involved with your local school board get involved with
00:59:56.060 your local rm or your city council or run for an mp run for an mla whatever you got to do but
01:00:00.860 there's ways to do it something so simple as teaching your children how to garden to grow a
01:00:07.260 garden teach your children your grandchildren how to grow a garden or you know how to do something
01:00:11.500 that they can carry forward and utilize for the rest of their life it doesn't have to be political
01:00:16.380 even sorry eddie i cut you off no no that's okay i i probably spoke over you um yeah like get them
01:00:22.300 off the keyboards get them off their tablets and get them out in the fresh air and teach them how
01:00:26.220 to do things and you know make them productive human beings so that they could survive who knows
01:00:31.420 what's coming down the road we don't know exactly yeah i mean it's going to come to a head food
01:00:38.140 shortages next year people are saying that there could be i mean it's kind of there's a lot of
01:00:44.380 uncertainty you know i don't want to say oh this guy's falling and you know cause people to panic
01:00:49.500 But you should always be prepared and always have, you know, reserves so that you can ride out whatever, whether it's a natural or, you know, a natural event or man-made event or, you know, some kind of strife or conflict.
01:01:07.200 You need to be prepared and, you know, have a plan.
01:01:12.780 I'm just going to go to Drew's.
01:01:14.680 I'm just going to go to Drew's.
01:01:15.980 He's totally set up.
01:01:16.920 I'm just going to drive out to Ontario, take my family, and I'm just going to go stay at Drew's.
01:01:23.720 I mean, the guy's a veteran.
01:01:25.220 He can protect us.
01:01:26.120 He's got chickens.
01:01:26.940 He's got a nice property.
01:01:28.220 I'll be fine.
01:01:29.280 I'll do dishes and vacuum the carpet.
01:01:31.300 But okay.
01:01:34.820 Yeah, that's great.
01:01:36.420 It is a beautiful property.
01:01:37.780 He's got a great place there.
01:01:39.600 Yeah.
01:01:40.460 I've never been there.
01:01:41.800 And Drew's an amazing man.
01:01:42.840 when you uh when you're driving through one time you can once your once your purgatory ends
01:01:49.440 well we still have uh what do we got just under a year left i guess tamara gets off of all her
01:02:00.900 conditions in january i believe it is and i'm off all mine in april but october of this year things
01:02:06.240 will get a little bit easier when we cough we come off 24-hour house curfew obviously i'm able to
01:02:11.440 work and Tamara's able to work so when I'm trucking I'm able to stuff for meals and fuel and
01:02:15.600 maintenance all that sort of stuff so it's been it's been good I mean but honestly I'm on the
01:02:21.320 farm here too so who's to say that I'm stuck on the farm and tonight I got home and I put the
01:02:26.080 rototiller on the tractor and I was rototilling tree rows that's awesome as long as I don't leave
01:02:30.420 the property which I mean there's 160 acres here I don't really need to need to leave so
01:02:35.800 you're so lucky yeah i'm so glad i don't live in an apartment can you imagine living in an
01:02:40.580 apartment i would go crazy at least we have a yard and a garage and um but you know yeah i think
01:02:47.540 we're off of house arrest in october and october 6th and then we have a curfew from 10 p.m to 5
01:02:54.660 a.m which is actually pretty hilarious as a 53 year old woman i'm quite okay to be back in my
01:03:00.440 house and in bed by 10 p.m. it doesn't really feel like a punishment if I'm
01:03:05.080 being honest I mean I think that's one of the one of the important things for
01:03:25.400 all of us is to try and at least maintain a bit of a sense of humor about
01:03:29.960 all of this because it is so over the top ridiculous. And, um, I mean, and what's the
01:03:35.000 alternative? Otherwise I think we would lose our minds. You still have to laugh, you know,
01:03:40.060 if you, if there's no laughter in your life, you're done. And no matter how, I mean, that's
01:03:46.480 the big thing with veterans is, you know, no matter how bad things are, we're always
01:03:50.700 shit talking each other and, you know, cutting each other up and cracking jokes. And, um,
01:03:55.640 that's just the way that's that's how we fly and you know um a lot of people don't understand us
01:04:02.200 because we you know we're always chucking crap at each other but we're the first ones to stand
01:04:07.880 shoulder to shoulder with each other too and um yeah i wish i wish can the rest of canada was like
01:04:13.660 that because um we're going to lose our country if we don't and i don't want to lose our country
01:04:19.300 and become you know communist without saying we're a communist country because we're we're a
01:04:24.600 hair's breadth away from that in my opinion and a hundred percent do you think we're already there
01:04:29.980 eddie i i really do without saying you know and there i think right now you know you mentioned
01:04:36.580 with them all the grift and all the money that they're taking here and here's the way it is is
01:04:40.920 they know we know and they don't care that we know they don't so they do it anyway even though they
01:04:47.020 we know or they know that we know right yeah when you think about what they've done they have
01:04:52.620 literally sabotage canadian values and canadians future for a vote yeah that's what the liberal
01:05:00.100 party of canada has done they sat i uh traveling across the country i just did 6 000 kilometers
01:05:05.640 to auto one back home here in the truck and the transport drivers on the highway right now i
01:05:10.340 it's horrible i was coming through thunder bay yesterday yesterday mid midday and it was
01:05:16.860 approximately an hour after i went i went through the area a semi had a major bad wreck closed the
01:05:23.220 highway down just east of uh just west of thunder bay it was a horrible wreck apparently truck laid
01:05:27.940 across the highway i'm thankful i went through there but that's that is what the liberal
01:05:32.940 government of canada has inserted into our country and it is uh there's no accountability
01:05:39.320 no there's not and then the worst part is you know um you kind of accountability seems like a
01:05:47.500 distant dream you know and but i think there will be at some point you know i think the pendulum
01:05:58.060 will swing the other way but they hope that we'll give up before then yeah i don't know i think i
01:06:05.520 we picked a couple stubborn ass people to fight with in this movement didn't we like tamara my
01:06:10.080 or myself you um there's some stubborn people in there that don't like to give up right that's true
01:06:17.200 that's very true and i think it's even more even more than just about the vote i mean it seems to
01:06:23.200 me that specifically western democracies have literally just become a purse for some globalist
01:06:30.000 or wef member they're just parachuting these globalists and i hate to sound like a conspiracy
01:06:36.160 theorist but it's true um you know mark carney hadn't lived in canada for 10 years um he just
01:06:41.760 there's no he was selected not elected you will never convince me otherwise um but it's prime
01:06:47.120 minister the first time you know yeah yeah and he um he literally it's it's literally just become
01:06:54.300 that these leaders are getting parachuted into these countries with like a lot of taxes so they
01:06:58.660 get the purse the taxpayer wallet to spend on whatever they want and you know i i hate the
01:07:04.580 carbon tax because i know it's the stupidest thing ever um i hate when mark carney talks about
01:07:10.700 decarbonizing oil or decarbonizing this like do you know what would happen if we were decarbonized
01:07:17.500 you know it doesn't even make any sense there would be none of us exactly the liberal government
01:07:24.860 just makes up these stupid effing words um but even still okay so even still we're paying the
01:07:30.940 carbon tax if one freaking red cent of that money was coming back into canada to help the veterans
01:07:37.820 to help our seniors to help our backs injured to ease the burden of our most vulnerable or you know
01:07:43.820 um the people that i see walking into the food bank three times a week if any of that money was
01:07:48.940 coming back into the country okay but when we're constantly sending it to the ukraine or it's going
01:07:55.820 for gender studies and studies and race patties in china or i read something else today there's
01:08:01.980 billions of dollars going to some other country now about gender this or gender that it's nonsense
01:08:08.860 we need to take care of our people first and then if there's money left over then we can send it
01:08:15.180 to these other countries to help them because i think canadians are okay to help other people
01:08:20.060 i think we're genuinely um generous and kind people and we want to help but not to our own
01:08:26.060 detriment when you see cities in every every major city in this country with safe injection sites
01:08:33.580 right now downtown cores of major cities are like zombie apocalypse days with people wandering the
01:08:39.180 streets asking for money or the crime rate in these cities and and the government can't help
01:08:44.540 them out but the government can send what was it 20 million dollars to i don't remember what
01:08:49.100 it was gender equality studies in egypt or something like that it was a few years ago
01:08:53.820 ethiopia come on they spent eight hundred thousand dollars to put a canadian sign in up in on a beach
01:09:02.780 in ghana telling people not to on the beach really eight hundred thousand dollars yeah yeah
01:09:11.580 yeah oh my god i mean i would think that would be obvious but that seems a little bit over the top
01:09:18.700 to me yeah you know i remember a case quite a few years ago this is actually pre-covered
01:09:26.460 and i remember there was a case in toronto and there was a park a public park across the street
01:09:32.860 from a big seniors complex and the stairs i read that had gone down into the park there was a little
01:09:38.620 bit of a you know a slope and then they had to go down in well the the stairs had been damaged so
01:09:44.060 the city was going to put in some new stairs and of course it was taking them forever because they
01:09:48.940 got to have consultants and then they have got to have meetings about consulting more consultants
01:09:53.340 and then they got to have the permits and they got to get you know every all the things well in the
01:09:58.300 meantime this guy got sick and tired of watching these senior citizens fall he goes out and buys
01:10:02.860 some lumber makes a staircase with a with a banister so these senior citizens can come
01:10:09.180 for like i i think it was like 500 bucks he did all this whereas you know when the quote
01:10:14.140 was coming in from the city to build this stair uh stairs for the seniors it was like over a
01:10:18.860 hundred thousand dollars so of course the city came in and ripped it all out but i mean give me
01:10:24.220 a break government and the same with the budgeting system when it comes to government organizations
01:10:30.140 are that if they don't use or spend waste money at the end of the year they don't get the allotted
01:10:35.520 that same amount of budget like this is government taking your money and just wasting it they are
01:10:40.460 spending recklessly they don't have any accountability um why don't we just start a
01:10:45.120 new party and just put canada first can we say that any good ideas tomorrow eddie you're starting
01:10:52.240 to sound a little mega there chris oh you're gonna trigger some trolls right pull back the mega my
01:10:59.300 friend yeah you know it's you know and then when people think you know oh well i've got my house
01:11:11.040 my house is paid for and that now they're going to come for the equity in your home you know let
01:11:16.620 alone take your property at some point but they want to milk you for your money first
01:11:20.200 so now they want you to pay you know unrealized gains on your home and um it hasn't come through
01:11:28.140 yet but they're definitely talking about this in a big way so you know i think in toronto for
01:11:34.440 example i saw one of the um sort of the the estimates of what it would be if you had a
01:11:40.260 two million dollar house which is not unusual in toronto um right you would be paying sixteen
01:11:46.540 thousand dollars a year over and above your regular property tax and then you can scale
01:11:51.600 that back down to, you know, a ratio proportionate to where your house value is. And that's a very
01:11:59.220 scary thought. So what'll happen is that everybody will say, well, I'll just sell my house and I'll
01:12:06.020 rent. Well, everybody will be selling the house. So the values will go down to nothing. Then
01:12:11.480 companies like Brookfield and other corporations will come in and buy them all up for pennies on
01:12:16.300 the dollar and start the whole cycle all over again yeah we we uh as canadian taxpayers we spend
01:12:24.400 over 50 of every dollar we make that goes to government in tax some way shape or form uh when
01:12:30.220 i when i'm you know small business owner myself when i look at at the gst that i collect on behalf
01:12:35.080 of the government the payroll liabilities the uh your ea your cpp uh the last one here the
01:12:43.960 Canadian government came after the trucking industry for the carbon tax. Um, that has taken
01:12:48.460 a lot of man hours to try and come up with the carbon tax miles that I need to file with government.
01:12:52.080 And I finally took the time. It took me a day and a half to get the numbers in. And it turns out the
01:12:56.100 government owed me money on a rebate. Well, a month later they called for an audit and now I have to
01:13:00.720 go through and, and get everything. They didn't save the original documents that I filed in the
01:13:06.680 system. So now I have to come up with them again. Um, I'm tired of government in this country. This
01:13:11.220 government is overbearing people are tired of this punishment if you have a government job
01:13:16.120 where you work for the government and you just get a paycheck every month and you're happy and
01:13:19.400 your pension congratulations but there's other people out here that don't do that and we're
01:13:23.620 sick and tired of government running every aspect of our lives i'm retired and i just got a notice
01:13:29.120 of being audited so wow i think we can expect that for most of the rest of our lives if i think you
01:13:36.200 know yeah you know we know that we're we know that um well there's a few things that we know
01:13:41.060 um we know that all that data out there that was stolen on that spy plane is still out there
01:13:46.380 being shared with god only knows who don't know where it is um we know that although we're not
01:13:52.940 supposed to be flagged with the banks anymore over our frozen bank accounts we definitely are
01:13:57.900 um i'll probably never be able to get a mortgage again if i buy a house it's gonna have to be with
01:14:02.760 cash so which is not happening over ten thousand dollars in cash of course yeah
01:14:10.560 I think the convoy had something to do with that to the ten thousand dollars
01:14:15.240 in cash really you know they wanted to they want to know everywhere ever so
01:14:21.720 worried remember when they tried to go after Tim Hortons employees for their
01:14:24.900 15-minute breaks like they will they there's too afraid to even miss out on
01:14:30.120 five freaking dollars these people well yeah think about it you know all of us like i had my accounts
01:14:36.680 frozen like 256 other people yeah and you know they they froze people's bank accounts who donated
01:14:43.640 50 bucks you know that are out in bc and didn't come to ottawa and you know but you get catherine
01:14:50.360 mckenna can't keep track of 96 billion nothing to see here but they make life hell for somebody
01:14:55.880 that donated 50 bucks. Eddie, where are you guys at with the lawsuits right now? I know you're one
01:15:01.920 of the ones that spearheaded the lawsuit against the government and the government's fighting you
01:15:05.040 obviously as hard as it can. Where is that at right now? Can you give everybody an update?
01:15:08.760 Sure. Yeah. The Emergency Act lawsuit is now before the Supreme Court to see if the government's
01:15:16.940 going to be granted leave. And in my opinion, it probably will because you've got the Chief
01:15:23.760 justice with his opinions earlier at the convoy not knowing that it would actually end the way
01:15:30.000 it did and his comments would be um you know justice wagner that his comments would come
01:15:36.280 back to bite him right yeah first name was dick yeah yeah but so i don't know i it's i think it
01:15:48.140 may go forward. So they've lost twice. Four judges have said the government acted illegally.
01:15:55.160 But remember that Justice Wagner is a liberal appointed judge. So will they get their answer
01:16:04.560 that they want? It's quite possible. I mean, I'm not throwing in the towel. We're ready
01:16:10.040 to fight them if this goes forward the way it is looking but um the way i look at it
01:16:19.560 win or lose we still won absolutely you know we won hands down and they just you know are trying
01:16:29.560 to beat us into submission but it shows so i think that victory they'll never take away from
01:16:36.360 everybody in the country that stood up for it and uh you know and regardless of that um so wagner
01:16:44.380 do your best um that's what i say and we'll be we'll be here we'll still be waiting like that
01:16:52.840 sign on that that beautiful peterbilt on uh where was it rito sussex area it said i would rather
01:16:58.980 die on my feet than live on my knees and i think a lot of us that's exactly the same sentiment i
01:17:05.260 will i know that this will haunt me for the rest of my life i will be in the courts and in the
01:17:09.980 lawsuits and i'm good with that bring it on yeah because i've got stamina we're we're on the naughty
01:17:17.500 list exactly yeah they're kidding the super naughty list but eddie they have lists of the lists that
01:17:29.980 we're on yeah it's but you know if that's the price i gotta pay oh well you know bring it
01:17:40.140 right yep yeah they've made us a lot more famous and more famous than we ever needed to be just by
01:17:46.020 persecuting us as far as they've done right now and and i don't think any of us asked for it but
01:17:52.600 we felt the calling ring you know i i to go back when i was a school boy i used to get the strap
01:18:00.520 now and again you know yeah i was kind of a defiant little kid and i i guess this is what
01:18:07.140 shaped me to be a person that stands up i'd be in the principal's office ready to get my strap and
01:18:12.680 my hands sticking out and he was a world war ii vet and he loved giving me that strap and i remember
01:18:18.560 the very first time i held my hands out and he wound up and he gave it to me and he he said well
01:18:25.840 what do you have to say for yourself i said you hit like a girl right
01:18:32.080 oh wow get out of my office get out and i opened the hall i was crying but boy i didn't show him
01:18:39.840 i'll tell you that wow wow you know eddie you started in the military in 1975 when tamara did
01:18:47.280 the opening i was born in 1975 i joined the military 51 years ago can you believe that oh
01:18:55.920 my god like you know i i did a i was talking with drew earlier today and you know if you
01:19:02.240 like when i joined to think back 51 years and a guy in the military he would have joined the
01:19:09.920 military in 1924 you know oh yeah no kidding that's the relationship yeah 51 years i can't
01:19:18.560 believe it here i am you know um i slipped into geezerhood very quietly you know and yeah
01:19:26.000 it's just the way it goes that's it but 2013 so i'm still fairly current you know um i i saw a
01:19:36.160 a lot of changes over the years you know we were brand new fresh blood my trade as a gunner was
01:19:43.400 closed for seven years before us first batch of new recruits and we still had world war ii and
01:19:50.480 korean war veterans in the ranks and believe me as young brand new rookies green to the teeth
01:19:59.220 they they put us through our faces believe me and i do believe it but they were the best mentors i
01:20:08.640 could have ever had i learned so much for them from them guys god bless them all they're all gone
01:20:13.740 but um yeah they were special to me they weren't very of course and honestly i think that's part
01:20:21.640 of i think that's part of canada's problem eddie is that the the canadian world war one world war
01:20:28.040 two veterans you know made canadians so proud and they really shone on the world stage for their
01:20:34.040 capabilities their survivability their strategy um for many many reasons um canada you know was
01:20:42.440 just amazing in both of those situations and i think you know i think canadians took that for
01:20:48.440 granted and we just sort of rode the coattails of that reputation um for so long without
01:20:54.440 contributing giving back or you know trying to save our democracy which has led to um part of
01:21:00.920 the reason that we're you know on this downhill slide right now is we just got complacent and we
01:21:05.560 took that status for granted um one of the things of you know the career for me in the military
01:21:16.120 is the military i was a part of was colorblind you know yeah and it didn't matter what your
01:21:23.080 creed or color or religious beliefs where you were a brother and you stood shoulder to shoulder
01:21:29.960 but now you know the military is encouraging you know the other way of thinking and there's a lot
01:21:38.740 of problems with that and you know the military has changed to the point where you know everybody's
01:21:48.940 a victim and everybody
01:21:51.440 you know has
01:21:52.400 how would you call it the poor me syndrome
01:21:55.620 is that it yeah exactly
01:21:57.700 the victim mentality
01:21:59.160 we've been so far away from a world conflict
01:22:01.520 where people have actually been you know in a
01:22:03.580 desperate position where we're
01:22:05.500 entitled as a generation we're entitled
01:22:07.640 and the poor me syndrome
01:22:09.440 I stole that from Drew if he's listening
01:22:11.280 so I didn't come up
01:22:13.540 with it he did but yeah
01:22:15.100 that's true it's very true though
01:22:17.180 yeah
01:22:17.800 because well actually that reminds me later speaking of drew that reminds me um tasha could
01:22:25.420 you just uh if you got a second could you bring that up i know um there's one last thing i wanted
01:22:30.700 to ask you about um hopefully tasha will just bring it up here oh there we go i understand you
01:22:38.100 had a also another career um as a dancer now did drew do that oh my god i think that's great i think
01:22:51.440 that looks great i would have definitely paid money to see that show and all right will you
01:22:57.800 be doing any any more shows i mean there's a fundraiser there's a fundraiser right there i'm
01:23:02.600 telling you people would come and throw money at you i'm gonna kill him oh my god drew yeah you
01:23:09.560 know he's watching right now well you are you are an eddie you're a very handsome man and you know
01:23:16.520 you gotta use the gifts that god gave you i'm just telling you that's so funny we haven't
01:23:23.080 been planning that all along or anything i swear to god
01:23:34.200 that's hilarious and that's what he said because i was going to bring it up when i did the intro
01:23:38.760 and then he messaged me today he's like maybe you should leave it towards the end of the show
01:23:42.200 so he doesn't get thrown off of his game he is so dead yeah yeah yeah yeah oh my god
01:23:53.080 anyways i think it's amazing oh look at look at that we even got a super chat from drew because
01:23:58.560 of it yeah buddy thank you drew's been waiting all night to spend that five bucks i absolutely
01:24:07.040 know it you know here i was nice to him and even said you know the the poor beast i gave it to him
01:24:13.120 and he does that to me okay yeah like i said i'll never forget tom or aslo and drew just the
01:24:20.420 the bantering back and forth in the hotel it was just priceless and i loved every minute of it
01:24:25.780 of course he didn't mean anything negative by it that's just the way they act and that's where
01:24:29.820 i just i'll never forget that that's the way we are we're all like that you know well i remember
01:24:35.920 one of the first times well i'd seen drew around obviously but i didn't he wasn't i don't think he
01:24:40.320 was there at the beginning he came in a little bit later right anyways but i'd always seen him
01:24:43.900 around but he was yeah and i felt so terrible because one of the first real interactions i had
01:24:50.880 with him was literally like not a screaming match but tom marazzo and i believe it or not had some
01:24:56.320 words at the swiss hotel one night one morning actually and i did i barely even knew drew like
01:25:02.300 i only met him a few times and i like i raised my voice at tom and anyways it all worked out and it
01:25:07.200 was all good but i could just i left there thinking i can just imagine what this man must
01:25:11.260 think of me but um i can get a little bit spicy when i when i need to well i can tell you he loves
01:25:18.300 you oh yeah yeah we love him too yeah we're so very lucky and again you know we say this almost
01:25:24.820 every show eddie but um you know we found our people and we found our tribe and you know friends
01:25:31.220 like you and drew and all the v4f you know we're gonna have these friends for the rest of our lives
01:25:36.260 and i know um that we're not military but i honestly believe that if any of us called each
01:25:42.260 other just like you guys um we would be there in a second we are brothers and sisters for life
01:25:49.380 we are absolutely a large community i see that large community all across the country when i
01:25:54.420 truck and uh they may not be the louder than the boisterous ones but i definitely see the support
01:25:59.380 out there so i know we're we're many we're not few and you know just anyone do it make sure you
01:26:05.740 donate to the gifts and go and buy some of the merch too and the it helps us out to reduce our
01:26:11.180 inventory and it also helps tamara with her lawsuit and you know she gets the profits to
01:26:16.460 her legal team and i mean that's amazing legal expenses are like really expensive as we all know
01:26:24.900 and um yeah yeah you know everybody likes to claim the victories but they don't like to pay
