Juno News - CBC HIT JOB on Coutts + the future of female sports

00:00:00.000 the cbc has released a new documentary and it's everything you would expect from them

00:00:04.720 and more uncritical minds consuming the content will be left with a distinct impression

00:00:10.640 that those protesting for their rights and freedoms at the coots blockade

00:00:14.560 did so because of online extremism diagonal and christian nationalism we'll be joined today by

00:00:22.000 one of the coots organizers marco van huyen boss to discuss and later on the show we'll be talking

00:00:27.120 about why girls are participating in sports at a slower rate than men and yes we'll be addressing

00:00:33.360 the elephant in the room i'm rachel parker and you're watching the rachel parker show

00:00:47.200 hey everyone welcome back to the rachel parker show i'm your host rachel parker over the weekend

00:01:02.240 i was scrolling on youtube and checking out cbc's page if you follow me on x you guys know i like to

00:01:09.360 keep them accountable for the nonsense that they're posting on there when i saw that the cbc's fifth

00:01:14.640 estate which is supposed to be their investigative department released a new episode called

00:01:20.240 conspiracy and coots and it took a deep dive into the coots for organizers and left made some pretty

00:01:28.400 radical claims and pushed some pretty radical impressions on people joining me today is marco

00:01:33.920 van huyen boss to discuss he was one of the coots three he has been charged with mischief over 5 000 in

00:01:40.560 the coots blockade and he's going to be telling us what he thinks about the episode marco thanks for

00:01:44.800 being here today thanks for having me on so i just want to start what was your first impressions of that

00:01:52.560 documentary the conspiracy in coots well the producer had called me um a week or two ago i i did an interview

00:02:01.520 with the fifth estate uh for this specific episode and she had called me to let me know it was coming out

00:02:07.920 um last week friday and that she kind of insinuated that some people might not be very happy with it and

00:02:17.600 you know that didn't necessarily surprise me this is the cbc we're talking about and i've always

00:02:23.680 uh understood their angle and their objectives and their style of of recording and i guess in this case um

00:02:32.720 filming um that being said it was a clear effort to maintain the narrative that was set at the time of

00:02:41.600 the protest the the first two months of 2022 and ultimately it's very disgusting they're they're

00:02:49.520 trying to misconstrue the the facts the facts that have been found in court the facts that have been

00:02:55.360 established and the narrative that has been debunked and the charges and and the accusations that have that

00:03:00.640 have been debunked in in in a court of law so it's just it's very interesting that after what they

00:03:07.600 say it's three years of in-depth investigation that they've continued to hold the position that

00:03:13.600 marco medicino first held when he got in front of a camera on february the 14th 2022 um even though

00:03:22.000 everything has changed since that time so disgusting would be a more appropriate word

00:03:27.840 but again not very surprised that cbc would take this approach when i was initially talking to you

00:03:35.120 about the documentary you said that just off the top you noticed a couple mistakes that were in it

00:03:40.960 what were some of the mistakes in the actual reporting that you noticed

00:03:45.440 well there's one big mistake and it's it it's in relation to to an individual who i

00:03:52.880 would call a friend who's become a friend and that's chris carver uh they they start introducing

00:03:59.680 chris carver um and you know who he is where he's from and then they kind of put a spin on some of the

00:04:06.400 things he said like they take key key bits of of an interview or key parts of a statement

00:04:13.280 in a way that fits their narrative which which they they do all the time i mean there's no surprise

00:04:18.000 there but they then add their own input in there and what they claim to be factual is that chris

00:04:23.360 carver had a stockpile of weapons there or had had firearms there even though he had a full van

00:04:30.400 and that's that's just that's a straight-out lie um yes there was a yes chris carver years back had

00:04:38.880 a run-in with the law almost 25 years back something fairly minor but at the time of the protest chris

00:04:45.600 carver had a had a uh hunting license chris carver had the right to own firearms so i mean if they would

00:04:54.960 have been in court and if they would have actually done some investigative journalism i'm going to go

00:04:59.440 back to this many times if they would have actually done some investigative journalism they

00:05:03.600 would have known that to be the truth they would have found out that what they reported is actually

00:05:09.520 false so there's there's a there's a few details like that um some of them are more the opinions

00:05:15.840 that were presented by the criminologists and and and some of the um the hosts uh it's just

00:05:22.880 there's also the um um how would you say this the narrator at times is narrating at a time when

00:05:32.960 there's video playing that has nothing to do with the actual um discussion he's having so for example

00:05:39.760 they bring in a crowd in front of the courthouse which had it was it was a crowd for a different

00:05:45.200 court proceeding and they just they they twist everything slightly or or or much more to to fit

00:05:54.160 this very clear mainstream narrative and and you know we know who cbc works for but a very mainstream

00:06:01.920 narrative to keep the public or to inform the public in a manner that that benefits what i feel is the

00:06:12.400 political class that funds this organization and that to me was actually the most surprising i thought

00:06:18.960 that the fifth estate would take this approach they would take a certain you know they're still found

00:06:24.320 guilty of weapons weapons for sorry um possession of weapons for a dangerous purpose but i also thought

00:06:32.880 they would take into the fact that and report on the fact that they were found innocent they were

00:06:38.560 acquitted of the main charge the overlying charge that kept these men remanded pre-trial for 700 and

00:06:46.080 some days but no that that would that never hit that never hit the screen yeah one of the things that

00:06:54.400 stuck out to me watching the documentary is sort of setting up 40 minutes of talking about how these

00:06:59.920 men had been radicalized by diagonal by christian nationalism by online extremism really setting up

00:07:06.160 trying to argue that these men had really nefarious intentions to go ahead with a criminal activity

00:07:11.440 which was the initial charge conspiracy to murder a police officer which none of the men ended up

00:07:16.880 being charged with and very close to the end of the documentary they slip in that two of the men

00:07:22.240 um were released from jail they had pled guilty to lesser charges and then sort of in the end they wrap

00:07:27.280 off with anthony olenek and chris carbert you know being found guilty for six and a half human firearms

00:07:33.120 charges they never really explained what happened to make it so that the men were initially being

00:07:39.680 charged with this very serious offense of conspiracy to kill and eventually it was dropped to must lesser

00:07:45.760 charges that was not really explained in the documentary which is really the key aspect and

00:07:51.680 the key interest in coots lockade as well as the fact that the men were held in prison for so long

00:07:57.120 without a hearing that is a huge scandal that was not discussed but we pulled a clip that i think sort

00:08:02.240 of aptly chose what you were describing mark about how they sort of really tried to weave all these

00:08:08.080 elements together to make it appear very nefarious at all times take a look at this clip it is of

00:08:13.760 kurt phillips from the anti-hate network discussing the impact of diagonal on on the protesters take a

00:08:19.280 look the rcmp circulated this photo after the arrests and this vest caught the eye of extremism

00:08:26.960 researchers across the country there's a black and white patch and we recognize that as the as belonging

00:08:34.240 to the group diagonal phillips says diagonal is a uniquely canadian idea started as a joke during

00:08:41.040 the pandemic what the perfect country would look like the diagonal line of sanity through the continent

00:08:50.960 those would be the carriers that were conservative that were traditional and would respect firearms

00:08:57.440 but phillips says diagonal grew into a network of online influencers that spread a view that society

00:09:03.840 was headed in the wrong direction and needed to be reset the belief that ultimately that they were

00:09:11.440 going to have to take up arms that there's no political solution well there's no political solution

00:09:16.880 what does that leave us right it leaves a violent solution okay so like just right off the top that

00:09:25.120 whole section all that editing there it cracks me up because it's just so funny like i find the whole

00:09:30.240 idea of diagonal to be hilarious and you can tell jeremy mckenzie when he's talking about it like he's

00:09:35.840 it's a joke like he's having fun with it he's like you know the diagonal line of sanity through the

00:09:40.880 continent like the whole idea of it is just hilarious and the way they weave that editing together

00:09:46.000 to make it seem like it's so nefarious like there's this extreme group that have done all these

00:09:50.480 horrible things it's just so insane to me and that i think was pretty much what we saw throughout the

00:09:56.000 entire documentary they were weaving things that were humorous or things that were really not that

00:10:00.480 serious together to make it look like everyone involved was basically already a terrorist correct

00:10:06.960 you know you say the the nefarious and the dangerous things they've done name them name the things

00:10:12.800 they've done that would classify them as an extreme you know semi quasi terrorist or you know

00:10:18.480 terrorist slash nationalistic organization um it doesn't exist this is this is self-preservation

00:10:25.040 by a political element that completely lost the plot and just justice mosley you know you think you

00:10:34.400 would have there would have been a discussion around the the um emergencies act being found

00:10:40.720 unconstitutional by justice mosley no not a mention of that in their eyes they're trying to maintain

00:10:46.320 the narrative that there was a organized agile knowledgeable and and driven by an extreme

00:10:52.000 element a group that was that was defined as such where mike makes right the words of mark

00:10:57.440 medicino who is let me know say is is is a backbencher at this point he has been completely discredited

00:11:04.560 and he's probably taken multiple hits for this prime minister and this approach to

00:11:08.640 to the con the freedom convoy during that time but it's just i want to add at the end we have um

00:11:17.680 this professor temi topi aureole aureole i i think i got it right and i frankly i have a clip pulled

00:11:24.960 actually right where well maybe play that play the clip so okay so yeah this is um so we have sort of

00:11:33.280 this narrative that's being weaved of these people being drawn to extremist elegance i know i don't really

00:11:38.000 sense that diagonal was much of a prevalence at the at the protest at all um i don't sense that it

00:11:44.080 was something that influenced anyone in the coots for um never heard i just never heard i just until

00:11:49.600 months up i have to laugh at like they have that image of like jeremy mckenzie going up with like the

00:11:55.120 diagonal like they try to make it seem like he's doing like the nazi salute or something like it's so

00:11:59.600 comical like i find it very funny but also sad because there are still a lot of people that watch cbc and

00:12:04.880 believe it and are impacted by it but you know as i mentioned at the end of it they kind of mentioned

00:12:09.280 oh they were um you know they were given lesser charges they they were never found guilty of

00:12:13.680 conspiracy to murder and then you have their criminology experts a criminologist at the

00:12:20.320 university of alberta his name is temitope aureola and he says that the men actually are very privileged

00:12:29.360 the two men um anthony olenek and chris carver who were who given six and a half years in jail for

00:12:34.960 firearms offenses and for mischief take a look at what this criminologist at the university of alberta

00:12:40.560 had to say i conclude that these are extremely privileged individuals they got away very lightly

00:12:47.840 and should consider themselves extremely fortunate i rest my case he has no case he he he he doesn't

00:12:58.880 have the facts he doesn't have the details he's he's take this is this is an opinion this is his opinion

00:13:05.920 and frankly it's a disgusting opinion um today's canada trudeau's canada we have four men

00:13:14.480 who are remanded pre-trial 700 and and some days before the two were pled guilty and were released

00:13:25.920 and the others were at 800 and some days or sorry 900 and some days pre-trial in in a in a in a no-calf

00:13:35.280 bail trudeau you know in a country that that trudeau has has has changed the bills the bill uh done

00:13:42.800 bail review so that everybody got to go for bail and we have some privileged professor

00:13:51.280 saying these men are privileged and they got away very lightly i mean this is just this this has to

00:13:58.240 do with this being an there's a significant political element to this protest there's no

00:14:04.000 mention as to why people were protesting even kurt phillips and director of anti-hate or whatever his

00:14:11.200 official term is um he he you know he says that the danger is that one person in a hundred will

00:14:20.400 commit an act that might be awful well look kurt let me let me tell you something there was 30 40

00:14:26.720 possibly even more people that came through the coots and the milk river blockades during that time

00:14:31.120 and there was not one act committed one awful act committed so you're 100 i'm sorry that's what

00:14:40.800 you'd like to see that's what you believe but the reality is no matter what cbc says no matter what

00:14:47.840 the rcp says no matter what trudeau and his his his his politics and his politicians say

00:14:55.440 coots was a peaceful event there was no no no rcmp harmed yes there were individuals who make the

00:15:05.040 very serious mistake of bringing firearms in the vicinity let me be very clear on this one in the

00:15:11.360 vicinity of the protest it was a very serious mistake mistake that has costed them a lot more than

00:15:17.040 it would have anybody else in any any different setting but the truth that the fact remains and this

00:15:22.320 is the fact that i will stand by every day and i have since that time coots was a peaceful protest

00:15:28.960 there nobody was harmed feelings harmed yes feelings hurt absolutely but that doesn't take much in

00:15:35.520 trudeau's canada but um it's just unfortunate that cbc has taken the approach to single-sidedly throw out

00:15:44.000 this narrative that builds on uh the political narrative put out there by uh marco medicino and

00:15:52.000 justin trudeau and their reasons for implementing the emergencies act even though the courts even

00:15:56.560 though king's bench has disputed and found these men innocent of the overarching serious charge which

00:16:04.000 was conspiracy to commit murder conspiracy to kill our cmp officers yeah and i think to your point one of

00:16:14.320 the you know to sum this all up one of the biggest issues was really balance i think it was misguided for

00:16:20.400 them to have you know the the anti-hate network on the hateful anti-hate network um and i know that

00:16:27.040 you were interviewed for but your segments in the show were so limited to compare to what the other

00:16:31.120 experts were given who were so critical and had such hateful things to say about the protesters and i felt

00:16:36.480 like you know you were a member of the protest why couldn't they have brought on one of their beloved

00:16:40.720 experts to speak in favor of of the protesters to speak in favor of the coots for to speak even in favor

00:16:46.800 of the jury who came to the decision that they did um you know there's lots of people who would have

00:16:51.680 been willing to speak to that it just seems like they didn't look for those experts they just looked

00:16:55.200 for people that were going to carry their narrative which is a big problem with the cbc's journalistic

00:16:59.360 standard marga just before i let you go i know that you are sort of embroiled in your own legal case

00:17:04.320 at the moment as i mentioned earlier you were part of the coots three who was charged with mischief

00:17:09.360 over five thousand for your involvement in the coots border blockade and you guys were found guilty of

00:17:14.160 that and i believe you're still awaiting sentencing i know it's been adjourned now till i believe the

00:17:18.960 new year so maybe you can just give us a brief update on what's going on with your own legal

00:17:22.960 proceedings and when we can expect to hear more about it yeah so um i had uh some unfortunate events

00:17:30.160 with my legal counsel in the fall of last year he he fell ill serious um serious health concerns and he

00:17:37.040 was forced to quit practicing as a whole which left me without counsel um the middle of october i've i

00:17:45.680 i've since retained your counsel in the middle of october um brendan miller and some of you may

00:17:51.120 recognize that name he was the lead um uh lead counsel for the the freedom corp at the public order

00:17:58.720 emergency commission poec um and with him on board we're now uh set to proceed to sentencing and

00:18:06.880 sentencing has been set for two days uh january the 9th and january the 10th of 2025. great well we will

00:18:15.520 follow that with interest and i'm sure that we will have you back on before then to talk about it

00:18:19.840 mark you marco thank you so much for insight today thanks for having me

00:18:23.200 all right everyone that was marco van huygenbos as i mentioned he is one of the coots three and

00:18:31.680 he is expecting expecting sentencing later next year so i will have an update for you guys probably

00:18:38.400 before then at some time i think maybe i'll have him back on the show with some of the other members

00:18:42.640 of the coots three to discuss more in depth um you know their perspective on what's going on and i

00:18:48.400 think also just for them you know when we talk about the coots four and these two men who got six and

00:18:52.720 a half years for essentially firearms violations um i'm sure that they're feeling a bit of unease

00:18:59.200 about what they can expect in the new year we'll be heading to our next panel now i will be joined

00:19:05.040 by megan murphy a feminist author and linda blade she is the former president of the board of athletics

00:19:12.720 alberta and she is a advocate for for women we're gonna be talking about why young girls are not

00:19:18.960 participating in sports at the same rate as young boys so linda how prevalent do you think this issue

00:19:26.240 is of young girls not wanting to play in sports because of the possibility that they might be

00:19:32.480 competing against a biological male well i don't have statistics because we're not allowed to ask and

00:19:39.200 this is the biggest problem in canada but i know it's a massive problem at the ground level a lot of

00:19:44.800 girls feel very uncomfortable with possibility um i've had private connections with people who've

00:19:52.160 been struggling with it um i would say it's not the only reason of course not the only reason why

00:19:59.520 you know a girl would feel uncomfortable or not want to do sports anymore um especially going into the

00:20:06.880 teenage years it's very common that girls would some of them want to drop out um you know even just even

00:20:13.600 if it's a sport of figure skating for example you get a little heavier in the hips for a while maybe

00:20:18.400 your jumps don't go as well and then you quit because you feel like it's all over when it's not

00:20:23.200 really you could just work your way through it but there's a lot of different reasons so coach linda when

00:20:29.520 you look at these numbers the disparity between men and women sports is something that you're

00:20:33.040 personally concerned about or you think it's pretty normal just given how women's bodies change 1.00

00:20:36.800 you know i i when i read the article uh on the survey and the survey results i was quite surprised

00:20:45.040 uh that it was even that close uh i i would have thought that it might be you know boys at 68 percent

00:20:52.160 and girls at 40 so the fact that girls are in the 60 percentage points uh even though they're slightly

00:20:58.560 lower than the guys i mean that's not necessarily great but i mean it's not out of the range of

00:21:05.600 you know marginally acceptable there's still a lot of dropout that'll always happen when girls become 1.00

00:21:11.680 teenagers and start to menstruate and have other interests in life um sport is just not as accepting

00:21:18.480 of girls in general and it's even harder now that boys are allowed to self-identify into girls sports so

00:21:25.200 i would say that i'm it's not an alarming uh percentage that i looked at um but i i care deeply

00:21:34.080 about the fact that whoever is remaining in sports as a female athlete into their teams is has a double 0.55

00:21:41.760 discouragement of having you know having to deal with the fear of of boys coming into their sport and

00:21:48.720 having to compete with them megan i want to go to you on this topic next so the government of alberta

00:21:55.520 you know is introducing legislation that would make it so that would basically create safe spaces for

00:22:00.880 women's sports would be woman only sports biological men could not play in women's sports they've talked 1.00

00:22:06.160 about maybe creating a third division for that would be co-ed um so that people who identify as

00:22:11.120 transgender could play in sports as well do you think that this type of legislation is necessary

00:22:15.440 um yeah i mean absolutely i don't i i think that the idea of a separate category for you know trans

00:22:25.120 identified people is fine i don't think that it'll be populated by anyone um i don't think that the

00:22:31.440 point is actually as they say exclusivity um you know there's always been sports categories for males and

00:22:39.920 not always been sports categories for females that's relatively new in our history i suppose

00:22:45.440 um but yeah i mean girls and women's sports are important for a wide variety of reasons it's so 0.86

00:22:53.760 empowering for girls as i'm sure linda has spoken to and has spoken to many times it's so empowering for

00:23:01.040 for young girls to be able to compete as athletes um and i just you know the the idea of letting males

00:23:09.520 compete in women's sports will lead inevitably to the erasure of women's sports completely and i've

00:23:16.480 seen some people um you know democrats and in canada you know liberals and progressives say oh this is

00:23:24.240 such a small issue you know there's hardly any trans athletes who cares it's just a few you know what

00:23:30.880 they would refer to as trans girls or trans women and what i would refer to as men and boys um who who are

00:23:37.920 wanting to compete so just let them but i mean it's not women's sports are for women girls sports are 1.00

00:23:44.560 for girls and i think it's as simple as that yeah i think to your point you know in the cbc article that

00:23:52.160 we were talking about linda there was one female athlete that was referenced her name is hannah 0.99

00:23:56.480 pillings she was 18 years old and in the article she said you know i didn't make um i didn't make 0.94

00:24:01.680 it to provincials last year because a biological male also was able to compete in the women's 0.92

00:24:06.960 division and you know ran faster than me so after years of training i wasn't able to compete and the

00:24:12.480 article kind of really beat on the fact there didn't seem to be a lot of biological men competing in

00:24:17.440 women's spaces in alberta but i'm sort of left with the impression that even if one woman has her 0.97

00:24:22.800 spot stolen by a biological male isn't that in and of itself an injustice that we should seek to create

00:24:28.320 policy that would protect those women isn't even that one girl who lost her spot because of a man 1.00

00:24:33.600 and what should be a woman's space isn't that a bit of a disgrace linda what are your thoughts 1.00

00:24:38.800 yeah absolutely like uh you have one person involved uh one boy self-identifies into a girl's

00:24:46.640 race you've affected every single girl in that race so it's not about oh so few it's about it only

00:24:53.520 takes one to be the fly in the ointment that makes it difficult and you know interferes with the entire

00:25:02.240 female sector in that particular event and can i just say with hannah pilling i literally went to the

00:25:08.240 track because there had to be a petition file for her to actually get to the provincials anyway even 0.92

00:25:13.120 though she got beat out so she did appear so i went over there to see how it was going and what i found

00:25:21.360 was appalling i found that it wasn't just restricted to her rights being being somehow undermined when i

00:25:28.400 went up to the stands after her race and looked up her dad because i wanted to say well good for you

00:25:34.320 guys that you stood up and stood your ground i found her dad she told me where her dad was in stands i

00:25:39.680 find her dad being completely berated with profanity by the aunt of the boy saying oh you shouldn't have said

00:25:46.640 anything so you know what it's it's it's not just i mean the things that people don't know it's not

00:25:52.160 just that the girl was somehow replaced now the dad is being yelled at by somebody because he's

00:25:59.360 transphobic it's like it's ruining the experience for every single person in that whole realm and you

00:26:06.240 know there are parents who've told me when i was president of track and field in alberta you allow this

00:26:11.120 to happen boys in our sport i'm taking my girls out because i don't want my family to deal with

00:26:16.240 this and i saw it firsthand i actually had to get between the two of them and tell the woman to back 1.00

00:26:20.880 off i didn't even know the man i was even going to introduce myself to him and she was just out of 1.00

00:26:27.280 control so we can't have this happening in the stands while the children are on the track competing

00:26:32.880 no absolutely not um one of the criticisms that was levied in the cbc article was that now some

00:26:41.440 alberta sporting organizations are concerned that you sports won't be able to bring championships to

00:26:47.680 alberta because of these regulations that might not fit with regulation with regulations rather

00:26:53.120 elsewhere in canada megan what would your response be to that um i mean i don't think that i think that

00:27:00.080 they're looking at this backwards i mean we're supposed to be protecting girls and women it's

00:27:04.960 not about fitting girls and women into these new regulations that have changed to accommodate

00:27:11.600 transgender ideology and boys who want to cheat essentially um so i you know i don't it's

00:27:22.080 like linda says this is affecting all girls and all women in sports even if it's just one boy

00:27:28.880 and it's so ironic to me that we think about it as though it's these girls and women or the girl's

00:27:35.920 parents for example who are causing trouble and just like leave these poor trans girls alone when in 1.00

00:27:43.440 reality it's one boy or one man who's ruining the entire sport or the entire race or the entire event

00:27:52.400 the entire competition for all of the girls and women who are competing there um and you know and

00:27:59.360 their parents and their coaches and the idea of a future in sport for girls and women and the idea of

00:28:06.240 a future in terms of whether or not they can access these scholarships and go on in their careers um you

00:28:13.200 know we should be changing regulations to push other provinces to also change regulations and push other

00:28:20.400 countries to also change regulations and to push the olympics to change regulations um i think the more

00:28:27.760 the more provinces and the more organizations and the more countries um and you know the more coaches

00:28:34.560 and universities for example that push back everyone else will follow along and i think that we're

00:28:40.320 we're seeing that happen you know we just saw trump win an election in the u.s and and a big issue for

00:28:47.680 a lot of people was this issue of girls and women in sport and i think it will be a big issue in the

00:28:53.840 next canadian federal election as well and it appears to me as though pierre pollier is paying paying

00:29:01.440 attention um certainly the the conservative parties um provincially are paying attention you know this was

00:29:08.880 an issue in the bc election and i think that the the majority of the population is speaking and those who

00:29:16.640 aren't listening are falling behind the times essentially well you answered my last question

00:29:23.840 i was going to ask you where do you think this go this goes from here and you said the majority of

00:29:28.880 the population is speaking and those who are not listening are falling behind so i will give that to my

00:29:35.280 audience as encouragement about where things are headed in north america at the moment ladies thank you

00:29:40.800 both so much for being here today and for your insight thank you thank you all right everyone that

00:29:47.520 was megan murphy and coach linda blade to share their thoughts on what is happening with women's

00:29:53.040 sports i'm also curious to hear from all of you let me know in the comment section below if this is

00:29:58.000 something that you see changing across canada obviously the provincial government here in alberta is

00:30:03.360 pushing back on it but do you see this as something that will change across canada in the next 10 years

00:30:08.800 or do you think that the liberal ideology and the woke ideology and the trans ideology will put up a

00:30:14.560 fight and that we will continue to see men invading women's spaces and women's sports for further 0.91

00:30:20.640 decades to come and finally i just want to move into my weekly comment roundup okay last week i covered

00:30:28.320 the migrant crisis that many people are warning is going to be coming to canada as president-elect

00:30:34.320 donald trump has promised to deport illegals in the states we are hearing early reports that some

00:30:39.520 of them are heading to canada where they will be welcomed with a host of free hotels free food and

00:30:46.160 even free security on youtube user max clotier said budget will balance itself migrant crisis too

00:30:53.680 that certainly seems like the liberal policy for everything these days and then i also had another

00:30:58.160 comment and this one just cracked me up because i can't think of what i said last week sean and i were

00:31:03.600 hacking our brains trying to remember what i could have said that spurred this comment user bruce

00:31:09.360 toadart said i don't like paying for parking when i drive myself to the emergency department at the

00:31:14.480 hospital and i cannot remember what i said that would have triggered this comment unless it was just

00:31:18.480 totally random it is 17 lines i have to admit i too do not like paying for parking at the hospital

00:31:24.720 i actually have a funny story about this maybe sometime i will tell you guys the extremely

00:31:28.960 traumatizing story of the night i had to go to the hospital when i had my son there was like a gang

00:31:35.520 war in in calgary that night there were no ambulances available things went south very quickly and ended

00:31:41.280 up being an emergency operation so like when you're pregnant and some women have four stories about their 0.99

00:31:46.320 birth i'm that woman like i never want to tell anyone who's pregnant what happened to me because then it 0.90

00:31:50.720 just makes them so anxious for and if it's their if it's if it's their first only if it's their first

00:31:55.920 because you don't really know what to expect but my husband just found like the quickest parking spot

00:31:59.920 that he could and i think we had like a couple hundred dollars worth of tickets by the end of it all

00:32:04.320 and you know he he called the hospital to complain and be like listen like it was a serious emergency

00:32:09.520 and you know they obviously did not care um i don't know if those tickets were ever paid but i'm sure

00:32:14.880 they have a way of making sure that they get you when you go to renew your license or your license plate

00:32:20.720 all right everyone that's all we have time for today don't forget to pop your comments in the

00:32:25.120 comment section below so i can see what you guys think about these issues including the conspiracy

00:32:30.000 and coot cbc documentary and what the future holds for women in sports are we going to get our sporting

00:32:36.240 spaces back safely thank you so much for being here i'll see you guys all next week have a good one and god

00:32:41.360 bless
