00:15:59.040whether you're right or left or centrist or whatever you are whatever party you elect in
00:16:04.340that party tells your constituent how to vote party lines that wasn't the way yeah just get
00:16:11.240rid of this system that's in place right now and establish the system that was supposed to be there
00:16:15.480in the first place i'm sick and tired of my mp going to ottawa and voting along party lines
00:16:20.080instead of the it shouldn't be that way and this is where we are in a divided society right now so
00:16:25.060please help me i really like my mp and i will say that that guy showed up he showed up for us in
00:16:32.420ottawa he showed up at the allison inquiry which i was so very proud of you know he's tried he's
00:16:37.940tried um to help us in you know as many ways as he can but i i am getting sick and tired of listening
00:16:44.260to the conservatives talking about how much they're fighting for me and demanding this and demanding
00:16:49.220that in my humble opinion we will never see a conservative government in canada again and for
00:16:54.420them to stand up there and tell me how much they're fighting for me and demanding this and
00:16:59.060demanding that is just performative just as as much as the liberals are doing i watched dane
00:17:04.100lloyd today um talking about you know canadian or unity within alberta and whatever and you know like
00:17:12.100they want to come to the plate they want to push back against alberta separation they want to
00:17:16.340insinuate that people that think that albertans that want to leave are traitors but they don't
00:17:21.380have a plan what the hell does lead not leave even me lead not leave like i mean what does that even
00:17:27.460mean you know like we need more than slogans and you know for alberta's sake i hope they vote option
00:17:34.180two and at least give themselves some time to to get educated and decide what they want to do with
00:17:40.260their future because that's the canada that we grew up in we got to decide what we wanted to
00:17:45.220do with our future not the government in my opinion anyways i'm ranting i agree i just i
00:17:53.860just i get that i get asked that question every time i went on the road and i run into people
00:17:57.700i by the way i had i had coffee with your dad yesterday and tomkins i stopped so great i met0.99
00:18:04.100a couple amazing ladies that were on their way from moose jaw to medicine hat for a medical0.99
00:18:08.260appointment and they stopped and they they were getting fuel and they you know i pulled up and
00:18:12.180red and you know the lady one lady walked up to me she's like i just i just feel like i need to
00:18:17.080give you a hug i don't like a handshake's not good enough and so we started chatting away and
00:18:21.140then your dad walks around the corner of the co-op building and i said well everybody likes to think
00:18:26.000that chris led the convoy but in reality it was that guy right there who led the convoy so your
00:18:31.400dad comes up and he's just pumped and gets a hug from the ladies and and then after they left stan
00:18:37.460and i went in and your dad said you know do you got time for coffee i well i didn't have time for
00:18:42.180coffee but i made time for coffee so stan and i went and had a cup of coffee and chit chatted and

00:19:19.160so many testimonies and stories out there there's still so many people that haven't had a chance to
00:19:23.880share their story so we're going to bring mike on from kitchener welcome to house arrest mike it's a
00:19:28.840real pleasure to have you how are you i'm doing all right and i'm very thankful for all you guys
00:19:34.180and uh what you guys do i really appreciate you i actually met mike through uh through tiktok and
00:19:40.980mike and i wound up on uh on a tiktok live here a few weeks ago and i got to listen to speak and
00:19:46.140told us uh told me a little bit of a story and i think it was just a private message afterwards
00:19:50.180wasn't it like hey mike you need to be on our show so yeah thankfully for accepting that and
00:19:54.720coming on the show it's good to see you tonight and we can't wait to get your story out i'm
00:19:58.780i am i am so thankful there's so many other people too that really do need their voices heard and it's
00:20:05.740upsetting it really is and it's it's upsetting when there's so many of us that need a voice
00:20:13.500and it's being erased and they're not getting a voice and there's people who are scared to even
00:20:19.760speak out like yeah yeah it's upsetting yeah so mike what happened you uh you obviously did
00:20:28.800your part you listened to the government and you did your part by getting vaccinated so run us
00:20:34.920through the story on on what happened to you and and the turn the chain of events i guess
00:20:39.100so it all began in 2016 and it's the reason why i felt forced in the first place to get that
00:20:48.380vaccine. So in 2016, I suffered a severe concussion, and that concussion changed my life forever.
00:20:57.940And I had an employer that made my life a living hell, and they didn't support me at all. And I
00:21:06.280decided then that I wanted to change my life, and I wanted to do something that I enjoyed. So I went
00:21:12.820back to school and tried to rebuild myself back from the ground up. And I, it was difficult because
00:21:22.320I had vertigo. I had, I couldn't look at screens. So they kind of, it was rough. They told me that
00:21:31.020I couldn't go do the graphic design degree first because I had all these symptoms, concussion
00:21:38.400symptoms so I had to go to design a certificate to show that I could do it and so I did it I
00:21:51.260finished it I showed that I could do it I proved myself and I got through and I was fighting I
00:22:01.260It took a long time to slowly heal, but in 2021, I was slowly healing, and I was noticing improvement, and then COVID hit, and when COVID hit, I was still in school,
00:22:18.980And my higher education, Conestoga College, told us that if we didn't get this vaccine, that we would be SOL.
00:22:28.060We would lose our chances to finish our program because you would have no idea when that because you would need your vaccine and they didn't know when that would disappear.
00:22:41.380And so I felt like I was pushed to a corner yet again if I didn't take this vaccine because something deep down, I wasn't very comfortable with it because it wasn't tested properly.
00:22:56.720And people will say, well, no, it wasn't.
00:23:22.180But I noticed that my original symptoms were slowly intensifying.
00:23:28.280And I was noticing different symptoms also showing up.
00:23:32.440sort of so my body started stiffening up from the sciatic arthritis and I was noticing that
00:23:42.200my body temperature was um active like it was changing like one moment I was cold
00:23:51.180and the next minute I was warm and it was that's how it started and it was it it slowly got worse
00:23:59.320and worse and then 2023 hit and I finally got it checked out because I was just noticing that I
00:24:10.340wasn't feeling right and for me I don't like taking medication I never did I if I could if I
00:24:20.540need to I will I would suck it up and not take medication I do not like relying on it and that's
00:24:27.840worst part about this illness is it forces you to take medication. And, um, so that's when I, uh,
00:24:39.040I got, I, they, they noticed that I got striasis and psoriatic arthritis. And that's when I was
00:24:49.100like, okay, that's weird. That doesn't even run in my family. And let's not forget it this time.
00:24:55.900you would have been what 30 just in your early 30s you've been 24 when you when you got your
00:25:01.800concussion then right yeah 24 25 ish yeah yeah so I was I never really got to live like right I fell
00:25:11.240down I had to rebuild my life back up and then I got slammed back down like I had to fight even
00:25:19.220been just because my brain what happened after my concussion I had the brain fog but I also had the
00:25:28.280delayed speech so when I was speaking there would be times where my brain would just stop
00:25:34.520and it would be delayed and I would stand there and I would try to talk and I nothing would come
00:25:44.020out and people would just look at me like what's wrong with you and I wouldn't be able to say what
00:25:50.280is communicate what is going on and so 2020 later in 2023 I started noticing that I started getting
00:25:59.260worse and worse and then 2024 hit that's when everything hit the fan like my I one night I just
00:26:09.260couldn't fall asleep and well 2023 as well i finally got my job in my field and i was so happy
00:26:18.020i i met a girl that i really liked and i was happy with her and then i got really sick and
00:26:28.420i i pushed her away because i knew that um because i at that point when i got really sick i just i
00:26:38.240didn't want to have her held down if that makes sense yeah and so when I got
00:26:48.680really sick I continued to try to work and it was affecting my work and I was
00:26:58.820so tired because of the insomnia I couldn't get sleep and my my nerves
00:27:03.960started reacting two to three times more so my brain started registering
00:27:10.560everything as pain and I started feeling this sharp pain of electricity burning
00:27:20.760sensation shooting from my starting from my brain down my neck down into my
00:27:27.280shoulders into my hands down my down my spine into my tailbone down my legs into my knees down into
00:27:36.560my feet and it just bounced like wow and it doesn't stop and i rely heavily on medication now and
00:27:49.840it's someone that never used to even probably take a tylenol for a headache right i hated
00:27:54.720i did not like picking even for headaches i suffered it and then it's0.67
00:28:02.400night and day and i i hated it i just i just0.80
00:28:09.440i i hate it i have you had um your doctor like did your doctor acknowledge that that ever that
00:28:17.760this could be an injury caused by the vaccine? So in the beginning, we have had no idea.
00:28:27.280Recently, I had her fill it out to see what will happen, but we have no idea. What has been
00:28:36.800happening is my neurologist, no, not my neurologist, my family doctor has been sending out
00:28:42.400referrals to my family for to towards neurologists to see what's wrong with me and neurologists
00:28:50.900are all declining my referrals so it's been over two and a half years of referrals and all of them
00:28:58.700are declining it and every single doctor and specialist I get sent to they all have no idea
00:29:06.580what I'm what's going on or recently because recently I started talking about it and none of
00:29:15.200them want to talk about it like right when I talk to them about it being potentially the vaccine
00:29:21.280they she they just didn't want to talk about it and I I've been in and out of emergency a couple
00:29:30.380of times one of the times it was I was in so much pain that I've been in so much pain that I it
00:29:37.980ended up for I ended up losing a lot of hair and I remember the one time the pain was so bad that
00:29:46.220I was almost in tears at the hospital and I was begging for um uh emerge to give me something to
00:29:56.080helped me with the pain and they gave me oxycodones and when i took the oxycodones i told
00:30:02.320him it's not helping me it's that it's not helping with the pain like the pain i'm dealing with isn't
00:30:09.120physical pain it's neurological pain and he just looked at when i took it and i told him that it
00:30:15.600wasn't helping he was just like well i i need that bed i you i need you to go so i i had to suffer
00:30:24.160And then I had another experience where it was I went there, I got sent back, and then I had to go there a couple days later because my whole left side of my body just went completely numb.
00:30:49.920I couldn't walk because there's something going on with my brain.
00:30:54.920I feel something going on with my brain.
00:51:49.420no kidding that's just ridiculous and you just think to yourself man you know if we only used
00:51:59.680our own resources properly which we've been saying for how many years now hmm we could actually get0.70
00:52:08.940a deal if we actually uh refined our resources and gathered our resources like you think well
00:52:18.160remember this entire thing started because the president said excuse me mr carney could you
00:52:24.200secure your borders and stop the drugs please that's literally how the whole thing started
00:52:29.880then we rented two blackhawk helicopters what the heck's happening to them other than they're
00:52:34.840flying over my events and medicine hat i guess i don't know but i don't think they don't don't
00:52:41.960worry though don't worry they'll jail canadians for protesting but they won't do anything about
00:52:47.740the pro-palestinians that protest and scream death to the country yeah but i you know what
00:52:55.040you're saying is i totally get what you're saying mike and that is that the the group that's the no
00:52:59.900space for hate and we have to love each other and tolerate each other are the first ones to
00:53:04.600call people like you a liar or accuse you of you know you didn't get forced to take anything or
00:53:10.980you know it's gas it's the no space for hate group of course it's just virtue signaling nonsense and
00:53:17.220then when it comes down to actually putting their money where their mouth is they got nothing but
00:53:20.760hate it really does feel like they they push you to want to end your life that because when i look
00:53:29.520at the numbers of made made being used and i look at what i went through and the pain that i go
00:53:37.940through and the feelings that i felt i could completely understand why some would would do
00:53:46.120that and when I think about it long and hard and I see how these these same
00:53:54.640people that see words as hate as weapons as dangerous and then you see how
00:54:12.500painful what i'm going the stuff that i'm going through that we're going through they would never
00:54:18.820make it they wouldn't make it no they would give up day one like these people can't even take it
00:54:25.540when you misgender them like it's embarrassing it's so true if you hurt their feelings but you're
00:54:34.980exactly right and you know what i feel terrible for you that you know that's even crossed your0.97
00:54:39.860mind i totally understand it i mean i don't know you know how i would feel in your shoes living
00:54:46.740with pain every single day but i'm glad that you're here and i'm glad that you're here to
00:54:50.660share your story and um but i also know you know when you're not feeling well you're feeling down
00:54:56.660and then you look at these comments on your phone or somebody says something you know if you're not
00:55:01.060mentally or emotionally in a good spot at that moment that it does affect you well you don't
00:55:07.380actually realize you don't realize how much your brain controls until your brain is malfunctioning
00:55:17.620like there's so much that it like i've never realized how much it literally controls everything
00:55:26.260like it's crazy yeah if i could give you any advice when it comes to the online hate as a
00:55:32.260guy that receives death threats basically daily don't let them get under your skin that's what
00:55:36.980that's what their main objective is just get under your skin so it's okay to post and ghost
00:55:42.020you don't have to go to the comment section like chris barber does and like fight with every single
00:55:46.580one of them you can ignore these people in their their only purpose in life is destruction because
00:55:52.420they live in nothing but pain and insecurity so it's okay yeah it is yeah so just just don't
00:55:59.620don't let him feed into it no all you know all i care about is telling my story and i'm hoping
00:56:07.780that my story empowers others to speak up and speak out and i i want more canadians to fight
00:56:17.140i want them to push for a better canada that our kids can be proud of and as a nation we can be
00:56:25.940be proud of because at the end of the day we're all canadians like i saw a video earlier today
00:56:33.100which made me laugh because there was this asian chinese guy he was walking and he had0.99
00:56:41.260the t-shirt that said fuck china and the reason for it was fuck communist china they don't right0.99
00:56:49.540We have our Chinese diaspora protesting against communist China in Canada, directing at our liberal government because they're terrified of communist China.1.00
00:57:05.180All these white liberals right now that have all this white guilt, where are you when all of our diaspora that are scared?
00:57:17.020like the iranian and our jewish population as well they're scared and you're all silent
00:57:23.840i i'm embarrassed i was complicit almost i was a leftist slash liberal i had the bright blue
00:57:32.260haired i had the purple hair i had all the colored hair graphic designer like
00:57:38.280yeah right you were the you were the guy yeah i was the guy and i'm in in 2023 2022 2023 i saw
00:57:48.560how these people acted and i was like i'm embarrassed by these people like these people
00:57:55.100don't care about our people it's all identity politics and it's very it is you know i just
00:58:02.780wanted to touch on one thing that you said there because um about the chinese diaspora community
00:58:07.160because i think i don't know if you saw last week mike i think it was last week that
00:58:11.080uh that lady was protesting out front of the uh chinese consulate and a dignitary walked out and
00:58:17.880stole her sign and told her to f off and that he could kill her and you know because he was pro
00:58:24.360china like i i uh but you're right and and you know sam cooper has done a really fabulous job
00:58:31.320i love saying all this job i i can't even follow real andy there's so much real andy lee does a
00:58:38.440good job yes she does a great job yeah but um as soon as i started talking about chinese police
00:58:44.760stations i'm like that was that was my first clue because they're not police stations and the only
00:58:50.680reason anybody would call them that i'm looking at you canadian media and politicians is to try
00:58:56.040to legitimize it somehow because we are born and raised to believe that the word police uh means
00:59:02.920safe trust someone that's going to protect you that is not what these are they are not police
00:59:08.040stations but that's what the media is parroting that's what the politicians are parroting yep
00:59:13.800and it's not fair it's not okay and they deserve to be feel safe as well and i agree well you're
00:59:21.640right this we used to be a country where we took care of each other yeah whether you were injured
00:59:26.440from a vaccine or whether you were injured period or whether you were a minority from another
00:59:31.320country that's what canada used to do we took care of our most vulnerable and we've gone from
00:59:37.800we've gone for to uh criminalizing victims and victimizing criminals right chris and i are a
00:59:44.360total prime example well that's kind of every day yep that's why i've been uh doing non-profit work
00:59:50.600for so long um that's amazing i started working i it gave me uh a reason to fight i i did started
01:00:02.120doing non-profit work uh may may june area around that time for turning point canada creating
01:00:11.240they're helping them create their uh logo help designing their um website uh shop website i
01:00:21.480helped create their merchandise i i've been helping them create uh social media posts
01:00:29.640and all that i i want i i want canadians to feel we need to build a community again because we've
01:00:40.120lost that. And I feel like conservatives have lost that in a sense. Liberals are really good
01:00:52.560at creating communities and they're always really toxic. These communities, you have to agree with
01:01:00.740them 100% of the time. And if you don't, you're out. Whereas conservatives, when you talk to
01:01:08.380conservatives. You can disagree with them. You can have agreements and disagreements with them,
01:01:13.620but for the most part, that's fine. And that's how it should be. And that's what Canada needs
01:01:20.680to get back to. And conservatives need to start pushing for that. They need to start building
01:01:28.180these communities. That's why I'm trying to build up turning points. I'm doing what I can with
01:01:34.580what little energy i have and i'm hoping that as canadians we can all just figure out a way
01:01:42.660to work together i agree that's a beautiful message and for everybody out there if mike
01:01:49.760can do it and get involved so can you what's your case it takes one right like it takes one
01:01:56.880to start something and then you know courage is contagious and you just keep plowing through so
01:02:02.100yeah exactly just keep translating it you don't need to be labeled anything like no that's right
01:02:08.280that's the thing we're all human exactly and and you're right and i think one of the most
01:02:15.340devastating things about covid was that we lost our humanity and um i i i realized right away that
01:02:23.080we were losing our humanity and i don't i don't know if we'll ever get it back fully the way that
01:02:27.300it was i mean as you were saying earlier you know there's a lot of mental and emotional disconnect
01:02:32.680there now and yeah yeah so well thank you for everything that you're doing um let's tell before
01:02:40.080we let you go i know it's getting late there and um but let's uh please tell everyone where they
01:02:44.620can find you again mike so i'm on tiktok but let me uh here's that there we go there you got it
01:02:55.720on x then there's tick tock yep on facebook okay i post every day as a crazy man uh on my own um
01:03:09.420i've been doing it a lot um it keeps me sane um i'm doing it to try to help out our community
01:03:16.980and bring awareness because there's so many canadians that have no idea what's going on
01:03:22.580and i try to add stats to these things because they don't know what is going on with our country
01:03:31.020and it's sad it's scary they'll fight until you show them the proof and not and even after you
01:03:39.380show them the proof they'll still want to fight because it's the embarrassment of being wrong so
01:03:44.680i've got something like you were saying go ahead and pick it out chris
01:03:50.120just to follow up quickly um like like you were saying it gives you a purpose to be able to be
01:03:55.980involved in these and to be a contributing positive contributing member of your community
01:04:01.080and just thank you so much for everything that you're doing um we definitely want to get you
