00:00:29.600 Gets on well in the dead of night
00:00:33.480 Midnight's called my name

00:00:39.840 Burnin' a midnight's old flame
00:00:42.180 Freedin' the trail of my truck
00:00:45.480 Rolls like a cane
00:00:47.080 Every passing mile
00:00:50.900 Like a chorus I sing
00:00:53.000 Shakin' lights like a heartbeat
00:00:57.540 Horizon like a prayer
00:01:00.440 You can smell the tar and freedom in the middle

00:01:53.160 coming on my yin yang that was kind of funny wow it's kind of cool to put the camera up on the
00:01:58.520 stagger and give it a shot so it looked awesome that's my fun toy really really awesome beautiful
00:02:05.320 drive yesterday through british columbia couldn't be oh that province so gorgeous sir we took a
00:02:11.720 I took a 1920s case steam packer, which is a highway construction machine, but a steam unit from Saskatchewan to Kelowna to a collector.
00:02:24.600 And then I loaded a 1920s, most people who follow me on social media would see this, a 1920s locomotive steam-powered engine boiler system.
00:02:32.820 So 29,000 pounds on the deck of Big Red, legal load, and just smoked her through the mountains the last couple of days, and here we are.
00:02:41.720 wow yeah it's beautiful and you know what's so funny is that uh i've traveled back and forth on
00:02:47.720 these roads so much i just about know i think just about all those places that you showed in
00:02:51.280 your video right isn't that crazy but absolutely beautiful yeah no kidding no i'm good it uh feels
00:02:58.740 like it was a busy week i'm it's gonna be a busy weekend i'm heading to oyen tomorrow and then to
00:03:04.740 Tabor on Sunday for, um, to cover a rally for, uh, Corey Morgan's, uh, billboard signs that
00:03:11.740 seem to be raising quite a ruckus out here. He purchased, he purchased some of those blue
00:03:16.740 Alberta independent signs and put them up in Tabor, the billboards. And, uh, of course,
00:03:21.880 I think, you know, the story there, he had some problems with the town. They wanted him to take
00:03:25.680 it down. And anyways, I think now he's got three of them there. So they're going to have a little
00:03:29.720 rally there on Sunday. I'm going to go cover that. Well, I got some mail from a, from a loyal
00:03:34.640 fan here the other day uh john sent me a package with a whole bunch of these stickers on them so uh
00:03:44.880 seems to trigger a lot of people right now just showing a picture of the albert of
00:03:49.440 um you know provincial flag how amazing is that in the country we live in right now
00:03:55.600 well they had quit the turnout for the sundry uh well you heard about the sundry parade getting
00:03:59.920 cancelled because somebody wanted to put a flag in that had alberta flags on it or a float in that
00:04:03.840 had alberta flags and i think they had just about well 500 or more people show up there a few days
00:04:10.880 ago to just uh they they created their own parade good you know just a few nasty negative nellies
00:04:18.080 out there destroying it for the others out there this is this this country is in it's in trouble
00:04:23.200 right now watch how the government divides us in our own communities you know and then judging by
00:04:29.280 my last few days on social media watch how the people in the freedom convoy divide people inside
00:04:35.360 their own communities it's the same thing the government's sitting back right now laughing
00:04:40.240 at the amount of division that they've created and then was standing right now it's unfortunate
00:04:45.120 right and to what end yeah what end you know it's uh it is ridiculous hello everybody in the chat

00:05:23.360 yeah that's right pardon me gourd good evening um oh that's so sweet ellen says hello everyone i
00:05:34.400 was very comforted today to know that big red was in bc that's so sweet you got you know
00:05:41.120 i stopped at a break check i think it was up on rebel stoke and i met a lady up there a fellow
00:05:45.520 trucker and you know she messaged her daughter who lived down in the the okanagan valley somewhere
00:05:51.760 And then the next thing I know, I had people messaging me and saying, hey, Chris, are you coming down this way?
00:05:56.660 I heard you're coming down this way.
00:05:57.820 And I got to meet Sarah and Norm, and they basically convoyed me down into Kelowna the other night.
00:06:03.580 I met a whole bunch of people at the truck stop.
00:06:05.400 I was thinking, like, okay, I'm going to be in there at a good time.
00:06:07.520 I'm going to get a good night's sleep.
00:06:08.940 I visited with a lot of people that night in the parking lot.
00:06:11.100 It was amazing.
00:06:11.840 It's so awesome when you pull into a community, and especially like Kelowna, where you kind of think it's a little more left-leaning.
00:06:17.860 but you spend the entire evening visiting with people coming and going because they know big
00:06:21.700 reds in town so very appreciative of the community of uh the okanaga valley and everybody that
00:06:26.700 reached out to me um it's very humbling to see the amount of support out there and i
00:06:31.180 well greatly and appreciated no kidding that's what it's all about you know what i mean it is
00:06:37.640 we're so like we say this all the time but we are so lucky we get so much support i mean you can't
00:06:42.080 even have a conversation with you on the phone when you're trucking without somebody coming on
00:06:47.380 your radio to say hi or you know give you a hug something like that so yeah it's good
00:06:53.800 it's pretty cool i made it i think i made it just about out to bc and i realized my
00:06:58.360 vhf radio wasn't on our local lad we call them lad one lad two lad you know up through lad six
00:07:04.000 i believe and so i turned it to lad one thinking well i'm missing some conversation if there's
00:07:08.400 something ahead for an emergency or something like that it was immediate as soon as i turned
00:07:11.660 the radio and i had people going hey big red are you there yeah it's pretty cool yeah it
00:07:17.240 is pretty cool well as i was saying uh to this is episode number 34 we have now been um it has been
00:07:25.240 37 weeks since we were sentenced we have 15 weeks to go on our house arrest of course and then we'll
00:07:31.320 have curfew after that but it's going by pretty fast it is i actually emailed my probation officer
00:07:37.240 the other day and i said can you just put me on house arrest please this truck has been like it's
00:07:40.920 phone rings every 30 seconds with another load and five trucks running as hard as we can run
00:07:47.780 right now and it doesn't seem like we're catching up the only reason i'm home right now is this load
00:07:51.460 that i have on goes down to south south southern saskatchewan and the crane appointment isn't quite
00:07:56.720 set up yet and we're not lifting this engine locomotive off the trailer without a crane so
00:08:00.840 i kind of just happily said i'm just going to go home tonight you let me know when when everything's
00:08:05.560 all booked and i'll i'll be there in a heartbeat so that's why i'm home tonight i was going for
00:08:10.120 that get a little bit of work done i i felt exactly that way well of course i was in calgary all week
00:08:15.560 last week we came back on friday afternoon and i was just so ready to come back to my cell my home
00:08:20.600 cell i was like take me i'm ready for my house arrest again it's always nice to get away obviously
00:08:25.960 but uh but it was it's good to get away and you're heading to ogama now i grew up around ogama i mean
00:08:32.200 my grandma was from a place grew up in a place uh called big beaver down there by the by the big
00:08:38.360 muddy so i've been around bang off that's where my great grandma lived for a long time was bang off
00:08:42.600 so i gotta say hi to my grandma because she watches our show quite often so hi grandma
00:08:47.560 grandma arlene is in cornac saskatchewan she turned 98 years old last month so she's and
00:08:52.600 she's doing uh amazing good well absolutely there's like a little bit of a tourist attraction
00:08:59.800 in ogama of course for a prairie train ride and they take you down one of the old rail lines and
00:09:05.000 feed you lunch and and then i believe this this piece i'm hauling right now will be a piece of
00:09:09.880 that collection in the future so um pretty proud to be able to be the guy hauling this thing and
00:09:15.640 yeah it's exciting i uh i love antiques and when i was in colonna i got to meet this amazing guy doug
00:09:21.000 and he has a collection like my backyard for you know it's different though like i collect
00:09:26.840 agriculture stuff he collects construction stuff british columbia was the home of hayes truck
00:09:32.040 company back in the day bought out by kenworth in the late 70s i believe early 80s and he collects
00:09:37.820 a lot of the old haze semi trucks and so the the amount of construction equipment and semis he had
00:09:43.100 in his collection i was in awe it was amazing so i had an amazing day yesterday beautiful drive
00:09:48.800 through the mountains back in the prairies and i saw that equipment yeah that was some pretty
00:09:53.300 sweet equipment you were hauling honestly you must have been in your total glory i was i saved
00:09:58.500 this trip for myself i was selfish so yeah no doubt well we better get to our guest today
00:10:04.640 because he is an extremely busy and very important man um i've got a couple clips here i want to play
00:10:10.760 so we want to really talk about bill c34 tonight now a lot of you probably know that bill c9 passed
00:10:17.520 not that long ago which is very concerning so i think this is a very timely time to have this
00:10:23.460 conversation and we couldn't be more happy to have john carpe join us this evening um but i wanted to
00:10:28.600 play a couple clips of some of the reaction videos now we have a great description from our friends
00:10:32.900 over at northern perspective that i want to play and then of course we've got nico i don't even
00:10:37.180 know how to legging a clip with nico legging and uh bruce party talking about bill c 34 too so let's
00:10:44.280 run those clips this is terrifying this is like straight out of 1984 this and and i'm not being
00:10:52.840 a conspiracy theorist when i say this this is literally setting up the ministry of truth
00:10:56.480 and creating the thought police that's what this is now the government will say no these inspectors
00:11:03.400 they're just meant for for facebook so why doesn't the bill say that right it in this different
00:11:12.760 oh sorry try to bring that up maybe be attached at the same time in this different universe now
00:11:21.080 where you know the threat might be the threat of something that other people don't want to hear
00:11:25.840 and harm might be harm harmful you know a harmful set of ideas that's one of the things that's
00:11:32.280 the kind of language they use with respect to the trucker convoy you know you you are you dare to be
00:11:37.460 here in ottawa professing harmful ideas and on that basis that was one of the bases upon which
00:11:45.300 they triggered the Emergencies Act.
00:11:48.320 Okay, there was no violence,
00:11:50.060 no violence, no threat of violence,
00:11:52.280 but claimed
00:11:54.000 to be the threat
00:11:55.780 and the existence of harm.
00:11:58.480 Right? So this is the kind of territory
00:11:59.860 that these bills are operating in now.
00:12:04.680 Shout out to Bruce
00:12:06.080 and of course Piper
00:12:08.140 and Fox for, yeah.
00:12:10.700 When are Canadians going to wake up?
00:12:12.840 When are Canadians going to have enough
00:12:14.080 and say we've had enough?
00:12:15.300 And I asked that question before we started, I think a lot of this legislation that's getting rammed through is a result of or part of it can be attributed to the Freedom Convoy and obviously the mishandling of that.
00:12:30.240 But without further ado, let's listen to the expert on it.
00:12:33.740 John Carpe, welcome to house arrest and welcome home from your vacation.
00:12:38.120 It's great to see you.
00:12:39.120 Yes, I'm so glad to be with both of you and see you again, even though it's not in person.
00:12:44.080 and glad to be back in Calgary.
00:12:49.720 And I did enjoy a break
00:12:52.060 and I think I needed a break quite badly.
00:12:54.820 So I got my batteries recharged
00:12:56.780 and then I come back to Canada
00:12:58.560 and it's like, oh, we got this C-34.
00:13:01.360 It was just like, no rest for the wicked.
00:13:04.800 I guess it never stops.
00:13:06.500 Yeah, you've got to be one of the busiest men
00:13:09.020 in this whole country
00:13:10.580 with all the stuff that's going on in Canada
00:13:12.280 these days, John.
00:13:14.080 Well, I've got a great team. We've got our network of lawyers, and I've gotten lots of assistance to get up to speed on this. But it's pretty sad when the government steps in and starts to function like a parent.
00:13:32.460 and and we Canadians I mean present company excluded maybe not the three of us and the people
00:13:38.860 listening but but Canadians generally have not done a good job on protecting their own kids
00:13:45.540 from pornography from excessive social media use you know there's a dark side to it right
00:13:51.580 especially for young women body image you have to look like this you got loneliness anxiety
00:13:57.260 isolation uh sometimes you know online bullying people being driven to suicide you got all kinds
00:14:03.760 of garbage and there's way too many parents in canada who are allowing uh their kids you know
00:14:09.940 unsupervised access and yeah you know you're only 13 but you get to have your own phone in your own 0.99
00:14:14.880 bedroom or whatever right no no time limits no restrictions on contents uh no net nanny
00:14:21.560 anti-pornography software whatever so a lot of parents have been screwing up so there is a
00:14:26.760 problem um right and the government's capitalizing on that there is a real problem with uh some
00:14:33.900 teenagers and adults suffering some harm from social media there's a problem with pornography
00:14:40.340 to the point where you know there's young men who have no idea how to have a real relationship with
00:14:47.280 a real woman because they're looking at pornography all the time it's very destructive it's very
00:14:52.800 toxic anyway so so the government comes along like our lord and savior and says you know 1.00
00:14:59.580 superman's here i got the red cape we're going to save you from all of this
00:15:03.200 so we've got this um safe social media act which will create the digital safety act as well as a
00:15:12.320 digital safety commission of canada act yes and some parts of it might be okay but the biggest
00:15:21.160 problem with the bill is that it creates this very very powerful digital safety commission
00:15:27.580 which will be something like the crtc the canadian radio television and telecommunications
00:15:33.320 commission very powerful body that used to have uh authority only over radio and television but now
00:15:40.240 with c11 they also have authority over the internet so the crtc is very powerful this is
00:15:46.360 going to be even more powerful than the CRTC. This Digital Safety Commission is going to have
00:15:51.100 powers to regulate contents on social media. It's going to have powers to create rules,
00:15:58.580 but this is not set out in Bill C-34. So Bill C-34 says, basically, we're going to create
00:16:06.120 this Digital Safety Commission and the Digital Safety Commission is going to have all these
00:16:12.360 powers bang bang bang bang bang bang bang so i'll rattle off just a few examples uh this commission
00:16:19.060 is going to have the power to decide how you must prove your age to use social media uh that'll
00:16:26.360 apply to everybody right if you're trying to yeah under 16s from using social media the only way to
00:16:32.740 do that is you require everybody using social media to provide proof of age uh the commission
00:16:39.280 will have power to decide what platforms must do to keep miners away from pornography the measures
00:16:45.320 every platform must take against harmful content what content platforms must preserve and for how
00:16:51.120 long how platforms must block under 16 account holders what counts as harmful behavior by an ai
00:16:58.840 chat box a chat bot example of something we we should be perhaps debating in parliament but what
00:17:06.820 this does is if this bill is passed the commission without any public debate without public input
00:17:12.680 the commission will decide what counts as harmful behavior by an ai chat bot so it's just so
00:17:20.980 undemocratic to create this very powerful federal regulatory agency where they're going to make all
00:17:28.240 the rules and enforce the rules and punish people for breaking the rules and issue fines for up to
00:17:33.860 10 million dollars or three percent of global revenues for an internet corporation anyway i'll
00:17:39.620 stop there it's you know the world is paved with good intentions we've created an opportunity we
00:17:45.860 have to accept some responsibility as citizens we've created an opportunity for the government
00:17:50.420 to present itself as our savior and helper and superman to come in here and rescue the children
00:17:57.260 and they would not be in as strong of a position to do this
00:18:02.640 if parents were really stepping up to the plate
00:18:05.340 and supervising, monitoring, limiting their kids' access
00:18:09.800 to social media, internet, pornography, chatbots,
00:18:13.560 artificial intelligence, et cetera.
00:18:16.000 John, do you feel like that society has almost been driven
00:18:18.980 this direction because of the fact, you know,
00:18:21.180 I was fortunate enough to be raised in a household
00:18:23.340 where my mother was a stay-at-home mother.
00:18:24.860 her her job was to look after and raise those children but nowadays the cost of living is so
00:18:30.440 high and all these parents are out there just busting their tails both you know multiple jobs 0.78
00:18:34.880 within the household mother father daycare is busy has the government created the situation
00:18:39.680 where parents aren't there like what they were back in the 80s when i when i'm like i was a child
00:18:44.960 i think high taxes are a contributing factor also the discrimination in the tax system so if you
00:18:53.540 have a family that earns a hundred thousand dollars a year and you've got let's say the mom's
00:18:59.280 earning a hundred thousand a year the dad's a stay-at-home dad uh they pay more taxes than the
00:19:05.620 family next door if mom and dad are each earning fifty thousand a year they pay less taxes it's
00:19:11.660 the same hundred thousand for the family but they pay less taxes if you've got all your money coming
00:19:16.440 from one income earner which usually the man but not always but you actually pay higher taxes than
00:19:23.800 the family next door so that's part of the problem absolutely now i was um looking into some of this
00:19:33.000 bill c34 stuff and it is quite alarming a lot of it i mean obviously we want to keep our children
00:19:38.200 safe as you said you know at the very beginning there's a lot of um noble intentions as you said
00:19:43.720 in this bill but um i mean you know we've talked about this before i mean hate is is objective
00:19:50.600 and subjective and who gets to determine what is hate hate is an emotion i don't understand
00:19:55.960 how you can and where's the line between hatred and say disdain so there's that aspect of it
00:20:03.640 where they're trying to again redefine now they just passed bill c9 where they were they did
00:20:07.880 define hate as far as i recall um they did define hate so now they're trying to define it again
00:20:13.000 through this bill and the other thing that was really um unsettling about the bill c34 is this
00:20:20.840 commission that they want to create and um that they can actually go into your well they're talking
00:20:26.280 about the companies right now they're not talking about going into john carpe's home they're talking
00:20:30.120 about facebook um and these these organize social media platform organizations but that's where it
00:20:35.480 starts in my opinion um but they can go in uh with a warrant they can go in uh if you let them in and
00:20:42.360 and it says right in the bill like you have to comply they can either take a screenshot or the
00:20:46.760 information from your laptop computer or they can just take your computer so there's a lot and and
00:20:51.720 this is like an unelected uh as you said no parliamentary debate they're just going to
00:20:56.360 create this commission and give them these um unprecedented powers really which is very very
00:21:02.440 concerning it should concern a lot of canadians and the way this if this bill passes in its current
00:21:10.280 form it will function much like the vaccine passports where the government had the businesses
00:21:17.780 doing the dirty work right so the restaurant was threatened if you don't exclude people who have not
00:21:25.000 been injected you're going to be subjected to you know ten thousand dollar fine or a hundred thousand
00:21:29.800 dollar fine so with a few exceptions like you know chris uh in chris scott in in whistle stop you know
00:21:38.400 with some heroic exemptions you know 99 of the restaurants played along with the government and
00:21:44.380 did this yeah you know you got to prove that you got injected otherwise we're not letting you in
00:21:49.560 so the restaurants did the government's dirty work and so did all these other businesses now
00:21:54.540 in the same way with c34 if c34 passes in current form you're not going to see a lot of individual
00:22:01.520 canadians getting prosecuted what you're going to see instead is that these uh the social media
00:22:08.560 and the internet service providers and the platform hosts all of these companies they're
00:22:13.760 going to be terrified of getting fined either 10 million or three percent of their annual global
00:22:18.880 revenues whichever is greater they're going to be terrified of getting fined so it'll be the
00:22:23.440 platforms themselves will be removing content left right and center all over the place if they think
00:22:29.520 that there's something that the content could get them the 10 million dollar fine they're going to
00:22:35.500 play it safe so it's going to if it passes well you can see a lot of companies might pull out of
00:22:40.900 canada all together you might see that you know facebook and twitter and snapchat and instagram
00:22:46.080 and tiktok might say we're just not going to operate in canada telegram signal code to code
00:22:51.920 encoded uh encrypted services they might all pull out but whatever is left you're not going to have
00:22:58.480 robust discussion and you're certainly not going to see a lot of conservative speech christian
00:23:04.340 speech libertarian speech the type of speech that the equity diversity inclusion neo-marxists hate
00:23:11.780 that's what hate speech is it's speech that they hate right so that's that's a big risk here with
00:23:17.760 c34 it's not canadian individuals getting prosecuted that's a risk under under c9 and
00:23:24.260 other things but this bill it's it's that the the uh the internet companies themselves are going to
00:23:32.340 uh sanitize yes you know not have any bad conservative christian libertarian stuff
00:23:40.340 on the website but when you start linking all these bills together right this is what the
00:23:45.300 thing that people are missing when you start linking all these bills together they form a huge
00:23:49.940 giant clamp around your neck let's say yeah we actually have a yeah we actually have a graphic
00:23:57.260 here that uh this one here when you're talking in relation to these these bills um who put that
00:24:04.120 together that's great i think julian did really well done this is your guys john this is the
00:24:10.240 justice story i just got back from holidays julian thank you okay yeah that's totally fine
00:24:16.180 it's embarrassing you're good no it might have been put together by somebody else but i think
00:24:23.280 it was you guys that did it anyways julian sent it but this is really a nice graphic because
00:24:27.080 as like chris was saying that they're setting up these bills sort of um in different parts
00:24:32.900 you know one thing leads to the next leads to the next needs to the next
00:24:37.220 so john you just you don't even have to guess anymore you just always say it's my guys
00:24:44.440 look at how productive they are when you're away right give them a raise
00:24:51.280 so yeah so in this one new laws limit free expression in canada so we got bill c34 the
00:24:59.400 safe social media act forces everyone to verify their age ends anonymity and pseudonymity creates
00:25:05.520 a powerful new digital safety commission with broad powers to monitor and enforce the rules
00:25:11.040 oh boy i just see a comment here that i have to uh scroll up and and just grab this one
00:25:17.260 you had your cell phone taken after a false arrest well i can relate on that one because
00:25:23.160 i still don't have my cell phone to this day after freedom convoy it is still locked up in
00:25:27.700 ottawa city evidence to this day yeah that's that's disgraceful yeah the interesting thing
00:25:36.300 angle on this mandatory identification is that we australia passed similar legislation to a safe
00:25:44.940 social media act and they passed this law in december 2025 so about six months ago three
00:25:53.260 months after it went into effect they had a government official issue an initial report
00:25:58.940 interim report on how well this was working and they discovered that two-thirds oh so this was
00:26:05.420 supposed to prevent kids teenagers under 16 from accessing social media so they passed the law
00:26:13.580 three months later over two-thirds of australian youth under the age of 16 were still accessing
00:26:21.980 social media they were using fake ideas they were borrowing ideas from their parents or older
00:26:28.860 brother and sister or older friend and so it wasn't working now what's interesting about that
00:26:35.480 scenario is that that then creates a scenario where the government says well this is not working
00:26:41.700 the only way we can make this work is if everybody has government issued id and so if you want to
00:26:47.160 get on to facebook twitter you have to identify yourself and you have to prove that you are
00:26:53.820 uh 16 or older or you have to prove that you're over 18 if you're trying to access pornography
00:26:59.180 this creates a situation where everybody because the only way to make it work is if you have
00:27:05.320 centralized government issued id it's the only way to make it work so in a way it's just uh
00:27:13.820 it's just really creepy right they pass the law and then it doesn't work right and then they say
00:27:19.660 Well, that's why we need to take it to the next level.
00:27:22.080 Everybody's got to get their ID to log on to the internet.
00:27:25.380 Then you have the government observing you for every AI search, for every website you visit, for every social media use.
00:27:37.320 Welcome to the Matrix.
00:27:38.680 I recently spent the weekend with an amazing Christian family who was involved with us in Convoy.
00:27:44.380 And they've got young children, I believe 13 years old is what their daughter is.
00:27:47.700 and they were trying to monitor her social media and keep her off of her phone or off of a phone
00:27:52.960 and the amount of bullying in school because of her not having a phone forced the parents into
00:27:59.900 actually allowing her to have a cell phone but with that i want to make sure i mentioned this 0.62
00:28:04.180 screen time was monitored and and timed so this this young lady was was fully monitored no new
00:28:11.500 friend requests um everything was monitored to the to the to the tilt and um and because of that 0.98
00:28:19.140 but just the fact that the bullying was happening because this young lady didn't have a social media
00:28:24.420 account and couldn't connect with her friends i mean there's obviously a way to do it and i believe
00:28:29.320 that they're doing it the proper way by being parents and i applaud them for that well you
00:28:34.960 have to be unpopular sometimes if you want to be a good parent sometimes you make unpopular decisions
00:28:40.440 And, you know, your kids for a few minutes or a few hours or perhaps even a few days are going to be very upset with you.
00:28:48.500 And, well, that's too bad.
00:28:50.660 You know, you have to.
00:28:51.760 But, yeah, some parents can't stand the lack of popularity and they wither.
00:28:57.200 And that's unfortunate.
00:28:59.000 The fearing your parents part is something that is lacking in society today.
00:29:02.980 Because I know that if I spoke wrong to my mother growing up, it didn't end well.
00:29:08.600 It didn't end well.
00:29:09.940 And I would, seriously, it made me a better person.
00:29:12.600 And let's not forget, I mean, you know, I was a rebellious teenager.
00:29:16.640 I was told no or forbidden from things.
00:29:18.780 And you just, you know, teenagers will just find a way.
00:29:21.300 They'll just figure it out because they're very resourceful and they can just, they can figure these things out.
00:29:26.640 So, you know, and I wanted to bring this up because I think this is a prime example kind of of where this is headed.
00:29:33.060 And I don't know, you're freshly back from your trip, John, but I'm sure you heard about the call to prayer in Regina that they're testing right now.
00:29:42.940 The Islamic call to prayer?
00:29:44.260 I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry. I apologize. 1.00
00:29:47.200 I'll show this to you then because I really want your take on it.
00:29:50.080 So last week, I think it was the city of Regina tested a call to prayer.
00:29:56.880 And so they're going to test this now every Friday, once a day, every Friday.
00:30:01.420 um it goes it's a kilometer i don't tasha if you can find a clip maybe from uh x or something they
00:30:08.340 might have something on there i'd be curious to show john um if you can just let me know so
00:30:13.660 anyways of course there's a bit of a backlash happening it's blasting out over these loud
00:30:17.400 speakers it's a you know they can hear it for a kilometer around the thing and so of course there
00:30:22.360 was concerned citizens that contacted uh the city and the and the regina city police and here's
00:30:28.720 what they put out in their statement and maybe tasha can find that so the regina police service
00:30:35.160 and this is in relation to c9 which just passed um is aware of public discussion around a permit
00:30:40.600 issued by the rps to a local faith group to amplify their call to prayer via their downtown
00:30:46.620 rooftop speaker the call lasts approximately three minutes and takes place over the noon hour on
00:30:52.600 fridays a consistent process is followed when assessing amplification permits the process is
00:30:58.200 based on the city of regina bylaw number 6980 noise abatement bylaw on average each year rps
00:31:04.540 issues over 100 amplification permits to various community groups then it lists the criteria but
00:31:10.060 i want you to go to the bottom of the document pardon me where they've included this because of
00:31:15.600 c9 what is a hate crime and right above that the regina police services is aware of threats being
00:31:23.400 made in relation to this practice and in response an enhanced police presence will be visible around
00:31:28.700 muslim places of gathering threats will be taken seriously and investigated under recently enhanced
00:31:34.960 canadian hate crimes legislation you're going to have to get back to work john what is a hate crime 0.78
00:31:40.300 any criminal offense committed against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by the
00:31:45.800 offenders real or perceived bias prejudice or hate against an identifiable group
00:31:51.840 wow there's a backlash and and there should be you know this is the this is the type of issue
00:32:04.440 and there's many issues where there should be a healthy robust discussion and people should be
00:32:10.700 able to express their views that you know this is about religious freedom and and making some
00:32:16.400 accommodations for a religious minority um you know and a counter argument that that you know
00:32:22.780 three minutes is too long and you know counter argument to that there are cities in europe where
00:32:27.760 the church bells ring and they'll go on for a minute or two not just for 10 seconds but you
00:32:33.580 know whatever the debate is but this this is disconcerting that there's this chilling thing 0.95
00:32:37.700 and it's kind of like saying well you better be careful and not oppose this presumably muslim i
00:32:43.600 didn't see it written in there but yes yeah you know the subtext seems to be you better not uh
00:32:48.840 speak out against the uh muslims having this call to prayer because then you know you're maybe you're
00:32:57.040 you're committing a crime which is insane because there's there's a world of difference too between 0.99
00:33:01.660 speaking out against something you disagree with or you know beating somebody up attacking them
00:33:07.900 uh damaging their property burning their house down vandalizing their car even just hating these
00:33:12.400 are all crimes or it's just hitting them right so there there should not be police should not be
00:33:19.340 taking sides in in a public debate and if there are people in in in regina if you allow there
00:33:25.920 to be a public debate and everybody gets heard and you come out with some compromise solution
00:33:30.620 people will be able to live with it but if you told the debate and you never have the debate in
00:33:35.860 the first place then you're going to have lingering resentment yeah what really seems like that's
00:33:41.240 they're doing is just completely shutting it down sorry chris it just seems like that's what they're
00:33:44.840 doing by putting that in there as you said right like don't don't you complain because we have 0.51
00:33:49.720 these new powers do you see the escalation in this so like you remember the poec for the for
00:33:55.160 the trucker convoy when we did the the public emergency order commission they used terms like
00:34:00.280 microaggressions and trucks could be used as violence they didn't we're talking about actual
00:34:05.880 violence they were talking about perceived notions that they came up with this has just been a
00:34:10.760 of slippery slope, is it not, John? Well, it's a neo-Marxist ideology of group conflict,
00:34:20.640 group oppression, and the old Marxism said that we're going to get to the utopia when the good
00:34:27.640 workers crush and vanquish and defeat and obliterate the evil capitalists. Now, that's
00:34:33.740 largely been left by the wayside. There's not too many old-style Marxists kicking around who
00:34:40.240 believe in class struggle between capitalist and worker. However, it's been replaced by a
00:34:46.400 neo-Marxist ideology, which says that we should all be at war, men versus women, gay versus straight,
00:34:53.340 light-skinned people versus dark-skinned people. And all of society is a war between oppressors
00:35:01.080 and oppressed. And the way that we get to the utopia is not by focusing on our common humanity
00:35:07.780 and learning how to get along.
00:35:09.220 No, no, no, no, no, no. 1.00
00:35:10.060 The way to get to the utopia is for the oppressed 0.69
00:35:13.060 to crush the oppressor.
00:35:16.000 And so this is a neo-Marxist ideology.
00:35:18.980 It's like the old one,
00:35:20.140 except instead of capitalist versus worker, 0.95
00:35:22.040 now it's straight, light-skinned male
00:35:25.880 versus gay, dark-skinned female.
00:35:29.780 But it's the same ideology of hate and group division
00:35:33.440 and saying that what we need to do
00:35:36.060 is have people hating each other and fighting each other
00:35:38.840 and let the oppressed groups crush the oppressor groups.
00:35:45.220 So with that ideology is infiltrated,
00:35:47.820 obviously the Regina police and universities, the media,
00:35:52.900 most political parties, some more than others.
00:35:56.540 And so that's what we're up against.
00:35:58.940 It's a neo-Marxist oppression narrative 1.00
00:36:01.660 that gets into this ridiculous garbage 0.98
00:36:05.360 about microaggressions you know you can only talk that way if you're a true believer in this 0.98
00:36:10.380 neo-marxist woke ideology how do we work our way out you found a clip here
00:36:15.660 passion found a clip here so i'll uh oh thank you yeah sorry guys uh
00:36:21.240 one second i won't play the whole thing it's quite long but
00:36:35.360 well i'm very happy to see the saskatchewan flag and the canadian flag being flown on that flagpole
00:36:57.520 i can say thank you very much regina yeah i just want to share this too because um
00:37:04.480 Let's share a screen.
00:37:10.280 The Justice Centre.
00:37:12.940 Can you see it there?
00:37:14.880 No.
00:37:16.260 Why can't I bring this up?
00:37:18.840 This is about our free speech court victory coming out of Ottawa.
00:37:23.560 No, but we can definitely talk about that too.
00:37:26.220 This is your national campaign opposing Bill C-34.
00:37:29.260 and if you go to the justice center website they also have a petition or a letter ready to go there
00:37:35.800 that you can sign to send to your mp i'll just quickly touch on this the justice center for
00:37:41.020 constitutional freedoms announces the launch of a nation national campaign urging canadians to
00:37:45.720 contact their members of parliament in opposition to bill c34 the safe social media act so if you
00:37:52.660 go to their website um you can search it up and they actually do have a letter that's all ready
00:37:57.640 to go, you really just have to fill it out. I think it'll actually, if you put your location
00:38:01.160 in, it'll find the MP that it'll send it to. So if you're concerned about Bill C-34, you can head
00:38:07.580 on over to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms website and have a look at some of that.
00:38:13.600 The website is called jccf.ca. I want to make sure everybody knows that. And the Justice Centre
00:38:18.460 has made it very simple for everybody just to copy and paste. Sign your name to it. It makes
00:38:22.920 it to its MP. That's what we need right now. People need to stand up and take control of
00:38:26.740 situation our government is out of control is it not yes yes to a large extent this summer is a
00:38:36.800 good time as well to contact your mp's office and request an in-person meeting you know worst case
00:38:42.840 scenario they'll say no but at least you ask and go in there with another person don't go in alone
00:38:48.740 because it can be kind of intimidating but go in with a friend and just sit down share your
00:38:56.440 concerns ask for a meeting ask for an opportunity to talk about c34 be polite and uh just you know
00:39:04.820 and they're in their writings this summer now obviously the mps are also want a holiday and
00:39:09.740 and and most of them i think work very hard and they deserve a holiday but they're not going to
00:39:13.980 be taking a holiday for 10 weeks right so in july and august uh you know they're they're they're
00:39:20.420 home in the writing you can ask for a meeting and um you know the we've had an impact bill c9
00:39:28.320 would have been even worse if it wasn't for canadians speaking out against uh against the
00:39:33.700 legislation the original c9 would have gotten rid of a current requirement that a hate speech
00:39:40.180 prosecution cannot proceed unless it has the approval of the justice minister or the attorney
00:39:45.720 General of the province. And that's a good way to keep it under control and not have a gazillion
00:39:53.220 hate speech prosecutions. So the original version of Bill C-9 was going to scrap that requirement
00:40:01.260 that a hate speech prosecution requires the provincial justice minister to approve before
00:40:07.980 it can go ahead so because of that uh pushback uh they've kept that uh in place you know and bill c2
00:40:16.540 the government backed down on a lot of bad stuff in bill c2 so we need to not get discouraged
00:40:23.320 and this is you know i just want to go when when convoy was on gccf was there right from day one
00:40:29.720 for for those of us and uh and they continue to be there for us to this day i know john your
00:40:36.100 your organization helped me through probably the most difficult time of my life going through two
00:40:40.180 years of trial. And now, you know, that's even, that's continuing now with the appeals from the
00:40:45.260 Crown. And of course, we still need to talk about the $290 million lawsuit that the JCSF is
00:40:51.500 representing us on. So it's very important that everybody stands behind these organizations out
00:40:56.920 there that are defending Canadian civil liberties. I just want to make sure we know that. John,
00:41:02.180 you're very appreciated in what you've uh your organization represents well thanks i'm so glad
00:41:08.560 to be with you and uh you know wish you and and everybody else have a have a great evening for

00:41:59.740 because a lot of us, I don't know where
00:42:02.140 we'd be without you.
00:42:04.160 Desolate. I guarantee you that right now.
00:42:06.000 Desolate.
00:42:07.700 Well, we'll all keep on fighting until we
00:42:10.080 win. Yes, we will.
00:42:12.300 Yes, we will. And I will see
00:42:14.100 you at least one of the dinners,

00:43:49.540 we're done even a little bit early tonight chris barber we are i still have stuff to do outside
00:43:55.940 but i know everybody there's a few people to look forward to the show every week and uh and
00:44:00.620 you know most of the time i'm i'm so flying through the week i usually have to stop myself
00:44:05.660 and be like oh i have to get in front of the laptop or the computer that's right well like i
00:44:11.260 said we are so very very lucky um next week we're gonna have k or not kayla sorry kerry sakamoto
00:44:17.360 and eva chippy if they're gonna come on to talk about how their hearings went last week um i just
00:44:23.220 thought it'd be great to have them both come on and both share their perspectives on it um and
00:44:27.220 then the week after is gonna get uh right blend jonathan uh don't be ville i can never pronounce
00:44:33.680 john v um but i think i'm gonna see if he can come on the week after because i thought it was
00:44:38.080 You know, it's been a long time, Chris, since you and me just sat down in front of the, you know, and just talked with our community and just had a chat about things that are happening all around us, too.
00:44:48.440 So, anyways, I'll see what John's schedule is like.
00:44:50.860 So, we'll have Kerry and Evan next week, possibly just you and me the week after that or John, but, yeah.
00:44:56.780 Well, we're always here and we're always chatting and we're constantly, if you see my eyes going that way, it's because we're watching the comment section.
00:45:03.780 So if anybody's got any questions they want to throw out there, by all means, Tash is an amazing producer and she will catch them if we don't throw them away.
00:45:14.000 There's been a lot of drama in the freedom movement in the last week, of course, and I'd just like to say to everybody out there that for the most part, I like to ignore that.
00:45:22.920 I've kind of grown, well, no, I've always had thick skin, but I like to try and ignore, I like to go after the trolls, the ones that are lost on my social media.
00:45:31.880 But when I have to resort to retaliating or going after the horrible things that people say from people involved in our own movement, it's discouraging.
00:45:41.400 And there's no place for it.
00:45:43.480 There shouldn't be a place for it.
00:45:44.640 But it's there, and we need to deal with it.
00:45:47.180 And for some of us, when we have to actually take a stand and speak up about something, the time has come.
00:45:53.460 So anybody watching the social media platforms, I apologize to the ones that don't want to hear it, but sometimes it has to be said.
00:46:00.240 so and well i mean when your dad when your dad is contacting you chris and saying you need to do
00:46:06.040 something then you know yeah i mean there there is a turn the other cheek and really that's what 0.89
00:46:11.440 i try to do but it's hard sometimes it is hard sometimes when you have all this crap coming at
00:46:15.840 you like you know whatever yeah and it's a lot of projection i i did catch a bit of that video
00:46:21.540 uh that you're referring to and um it was a lot of projection honestly i sat there listening to
00:46:28.060 this person talk about you and just thought that sounds like you though uh a lot of lies
00:46:34.320 the one thing that i thought people shouldn't throw stones when they live in a glass house i
00:46:38.920 mean i i've heard a lot of false accusations or not not false accusations i've heard a lot of
00:46:43.900 accusations um and uh just when i put that out there that you know there's this accusation and
00:46:50.240 then a few people reach out to me saying hey that's 100 true only they don't talk about that
00:46:55.200 it's sad it shouldn't take part the government right now is sitting back right now this whole
00:47:00.940 entire freedom community and laughing at us because there's certain people inside this
00:47:05.760 movement that are are hell-bent on destruction and destroying anyone that's got more attention
00:47:10.620 than them and it's wrong and it should be stopped and it should be policed by us um but yeah when
00:47:17.400 my father called the other day and said you know what i just watched something that i shouldn't
00:47:21.420 of had to watch when are you going to speak about enough of being quiet already so i thought this
00:47:26.460 if it comes from my mother or my father it has to happen yeah i know i i like i said i just
00:47:35.440 ignore it all because it's just i don't there's just you just can't win you can't win it doesn't
00:47:40.300 matter you're never gonna win and um you know again i i wish these guys all the best i i really
00:47:46.340 do you know go out fight your fight go save canada um from your couch on a live with no shirt
00:47:52.080 on if that's what's working for you but um yeah you know i i don't wish them any ill well um i
00:47:58.080 think in a lot of cases you and i have gone over and above to try and help some of these people
00:48:02.960 um and then it just turns into into stuff like this and that's okay that's okay it's a free
00:48:09.020 country sort of they're they can think what they think it doesn't matter to it doesn't matter to
00:48:13.140 me but but i will say i mean it's just like it's just like any other day you know you sometimes
00:48:17.580 sometimes that stuff can roll off your back and other days if you're having a down day or whatever
00:48:21.940 it can get under your skin yeah i mean what sparked this whole conversation was somebody
00:48:28.300 defending another you know obviously left uh lost troll online doxing my my my address and putting
00:48:36.140 google images of where i live on social media and then to have somebody that we allegedly stood with
00:48:40.500 in ottawa come out there and defend that person you know there's times when my wife fears for her
00:48:47.060 safety when i'm gone trucking and uh you know this farm i've got a lot of neighbors so i've
00:48:53.020 explained to her many times one simple phone call and a neighbor will be here faster than any law
00:48:58.400 enforcement officer and they will probably act very fast uh we've got a good group of community
00:49:03.760 around us but for my wife to be you know fearful or fearful for safety and then for this piece of 0.99
00:49:10.020 garbage to defend you know that is sickening so i've always said this and i'll say it one more 0.98
00:49:16.880 time you know if uh if you had a good experience in freedom convoy then you should go and speak 0.98
00:49:22.560 about that positive experience to everybody because everybody needs to know it and if you
00:49:27.140 didn't have a good time in convoy or you have negative feelings then it's probably because 0.63
00:49:31.380 you're a shitty person and you should probably try to do better period i had a good experience 0.94
00:49:37.120 asking uh sorry julie's asking how long are you both under house arrest we did yeah julie i i 1.00
00:49:45.120 actually did the math right before the show and we have been 37 weeks and two days into our sentence
00:49:51.680 we have 15 weeks left of house arrest so october the 6th uh the house arrest portion will be over
00:49:58.560 and then we have six months of a curfew from 10 p.m to 5 a.m which i still think is hilarious
00:50:04.160 because where am i going to be after nine anyways um uh and then i have mine because of time served
00:50:10.860 i'll be i'll be finished july or sorry january the 21st will be my last day um so we're planning
00:50:17.000 where we're going to go on january 22nd are you drinking yeah maybe or else we're going to a beach
00:50:25.280 somewhere or something i don't know but i think we'll be due for for a vacation at some point yeah
00:50:29.920 that's probably all we can afford is to come to your house and have a beer
00:50:33.640 uh another note too tamara and i both received 100 hours of community service because of our
00:50:41.240 sentencing and tamara finished her community service quite some time ago i would like to
00:50:45.600 announce chris barber has finished his as well my hours are in i've added up to 107 hours complete
00:50:53.760 and with that i'm not done working for my local community because it will be something that i
00:50:58.560 take part in for the rest of my natural born life so i've been granted uh you know i can go keep
00:51:03.680 working in the community when i can and i i plan to do that for the next well as long as i'm alive
00:51:09.040 i love my volunteer time like i i finished up my my community service like you said i did it as fast
00:51:16.420 as i could uh and i finished that up in february but they've let me continue to volunteer at the
00:51:21.360 food bank which i which i really like i enjoy going down there i enjoy helping people i enjoy
00:51:25.980 working with the other volunteers in the back and um so i definitely want to keep doing that for as
00:51:31.900 long as i can but yeah it feels my cup you know you know it's just it's and i've got a special
00:51:37.500 project that i've been working on or i'm going to start working on in my local village and it
00:51:41.180 involves destroying a home so i'm going to be looking forward to that take a little aggression
00:51:48.140 out on a building with an excavator and i'm excited for that so i've been granted permission
00:51:53.180 and they keep working in the community, but I need this workload to slow down a little bit.
00:51:56.840 We've got five trucks on the road right now.
00:51:58.620 One of them is sitting in the shop right now with an oil pan missing on it.
00:52:02.660 Our driver, Jay, that passed away a few years ago in his truck that we keep on the fleet
00:52:07.320 in memorial of Jay Weedmark.
00:52:09.940 Jonathan changed the oil on it last week, and the oil plug in the bottom of the oil pan
00:52:13.300 threaded, just cross-threaded.
00:52:15.980 Something happened in the plug, so the bolt wouldn't go in to hold the oil in tight,
00:52:20.640 so we decided to tear it apart and so i've got a truck sit in the shop right now with an open
00:52:24.720 oil pan on it the pans in town getting uh retrofitted right now so can't wait to have that
00:52:29.680 truck up surely yeah no doubt um orlin has a question for you chris how does the house arrest
00:52:36.320 work when you're on the road so everything i do right now is a monday morning email to my
00:52:42.560 probation officer and a wednesday morning uh email and she lists what i am going to a conference that
00:52:48.720 week so this week i emailed her on monday morning i get a clearance letter back i'm not allowed to
00:52:53.120 leave the yard until i have that clearance letter in my hand uh in my email i should say so this
00:52:58.800 week it was uh simply going to fillmore saskatchewan i have to give her the time and the day that i'm
00:53:03.760 going to be loading that load and then i'm allowed to travel then to where i deliver that load um
00:53:08.960 twice a week i have to give her updates i'm allowed six hours of leisure time per week so i've booked
00:53:13.600 that to attend our local frontier days parade in swift current on saturday morning um if i'm late
00:53:21.840 no i can't put big red in it but i i didn't book it reds she needs a polish it's been busy working
00:53:27.360 so much there's so many things that are wrong on that truck right now that need to be addressed but
00:53:32.800 if i run into troubles if i'm late if i run into a snowstorm or an accident or something like that
00:53:38.080 and i say that i'm going to be home at 10 o'clock at night and i'm going to be home at 10 30 i
00:53:42.480 I usually have to call the local police RCMP detachment
00:53:46.700 and let them advise them that I am going to be late
00:53:49.180 because if police do a, what is it, a curfew check on us
00:53:54.420 and I am not where I say I'm going to be,
00:53:57.360 I will breach and I will be put in jail
00:53:59.060 for the remainder of my sentence.
00:54:01.140 So it's very important.
00:54:02.460 I've had to phone the call.
00:54:03.160 The police officers have been very cooperative
00:54:05.420 to work with in my hometown here
00:54:06.880 ever since we started this ordeal.
00:54:08.960 And I still haven't had a visit.
00:54:11.440 You've had a couple of visits.
00:54:12.480 Yeah, only two. Yeah, I've only had two visits so far. So which I consider myself pretty lucky, honestly, but, but it was so funny, Chris. I mean, last week, of course, I was in Calgary on a work exemption. And it was just funny, because I had to get an exemption. But I'm literally in the courthouse every day surrounded by sheriffs and cops and lawyers and judges. And then there's like an RCMP convention at the hotel that I was staying at. So I emailed Megan, I'm like, I am literally, you know, for being under house arrest.
00:54:42.260 and possibly the safest place in the whole world like i and i'm spending my day you know in the in
00:54:47.140 a courthouse and my evenings surrounded by rcmp officers but i gotta tell you though i don't know
00:54:53.380 if i mentioned this to you last week chris but wow do we have a lot of support in that uh alberta
00:54:59.140 that calgary courthouse like so much support they uh were coming up and shaking our hand my hand and
00:55:06.260 loved our work and you know it was um yeah it was really quite nice because you just never know in
00:55:12.420 this situation i had lawyers coming up and talking to me and shaking my hand and so yeah um a little
00:55:18.660 bit different than ottawa courthouse mind you we still get a lot of support out about the ottawa
00:55:23.140 courthouse too you know yeah one of the things that i'll probably remember for the rest of my
00:55:27.620 life was leaving the ottawa courthouse on our sentencing day and having officers come up to me
00:55:32.500 and say we're gonna you know it's a it's you're an amazing person and you know thank you for
00:55:38.160 showing us respect during your time here kind of thing yeah yeah like nice because we were never
00:55:45.220 against law enforcement we were against government and it's unfortunate that the government had to
00:55:49.880 use law enforcement against peaceful protesters in this country to to break people up you know
00:55:56.160 this is our enemy right now is the government well i'm suing them so i don't think they'll
00:56:02.180 probably be coming up to shake my hand anymore the Ottawa police service is having a terrible few
00:56:07.660 weeks I think you see there was a couple of days ago where the chief had to come out and say that
00:56:12.820 some of their officers were like using uh their databases to look up women and hook up with women
00:56:18.820 and yeah they're not gonna have a good year no remember that don't throw stones when you live
00:56:24.820 in a glass house that's right exactly so anyways I'm looking forward to get moving that case it's
00:56:31.680 take a long time to get that civil suit done but i'm looking forward to it uh there's a lot of
00:56:36.480 really there's a lot of wonderful people that work for the ottawa police service i will say
00:56:40.320 that i mean they have a lot of great um great people that we met even um some people that we
00:56:46.160 know that work for the ottawa police service in fact um and that are huge supporters but there
00:56:50.800 is a rot in the bureaucracy at that place um steve uh what's his face interim steve belt
00:56:59.600 interim chief steve bell former interim chief remember when he was saying that he was going
00:57:04.080 to hunt down and persecute and financially handicap anyone that was involved in the freedom convoy i
00:57:09.360 mean there's stuff like that i need to be held accountable i have to cough here prick did you
00:57:16.240 get that that's right yeah no kidding no kidding um so oh john hutch says that was the toronto
00:57:25.120 please oh i don't know maybe there was both john i'm pretty sure the uh ottawa police service just
00:57:30.880 came out and had to do the same thing but i think you're right i think there was um i think they're
00:57:36.480 just getting to the tip of the iceberg there with the toronto police service honestly but uh that's
00:57:41.840 just me we're on our antenna everybody remember we are you got it well thank you everybody for
00:57:48.720 joining us tonight um we have to do chatting with you next week on our no one gets left behind
00:57:54.480 episode we'll have uh carrie sakamoto and eva chipiak to join us to talk about her case and
00:57:59.520 what happens next um as we wait for the judge's decision so i hope you all have an amazing week
