Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hey there, today is the day Rachel Notley announced she's calling the Alberta election.
00:00:05.100
It'll happen four weeks from today, April 16th, and I think she's going to get slaughtered.
1.00
00:00:10.320
I think Albertans have grown to despise the NDP.
00:00:18.820
200,000 unemployed, Calgary the largest unemployment rate in the country, no pipelines.
00:00:23.880
I just don't even think there's any, it's like they're not even bickering anymore.
00:00:28.240
It's like an old couple, they just, they're not even fighting anymore, it's just done.
00:00:32.020
Rachel Notley's going to try and smear Jason Kenney about this and that,
1.00
00:00:34.600
and she might even have a few good points to make, but I think it's over.
00:00:38.260
I'll tell you about that, and more importantly, I'll tell you about how we're going to conduct ourselves in the election,
00:00:46.860
Oh my gosh, I interview her next, so listen to the monologue, and then listen to Sheila.
00:00:51.400
By the way, I would be so grateful if you became a premium subscriber to The Rebel.
00:00:55.780
This audio podcast is free, but the show, including the visual images that we put a lot of effort into,
00:01:02.140
it's eight bucks a month, and you know what, I think it's worth it.
00:01:03.900
If you go to the rebel.media slash shows, you can sign up for eight bucks a month,
00:01:07.900
or if you sign up for the whole year, it's just 80 bucks, and it helps keep the lights on here.
00:01:13.960
So please consider doing that, and by the way, if you like the podcast, please give us a good rating.
00:01:18.780
All right, without further to do, here is my show on Alberta's election.
00:01:26.360
Tonight, Rachel Notley has called an election for four weeks from today.
0.73
00:01:32.020
It's March 19th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:36.720
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:40.440
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:44.520
The only thing I have to say to the government, the why I'm publishing,
00:01:50.360
Today, Rachel Notley dropped the rent and called the election for Alberta.
0.97
00:02:12.680
My name is Rachel Notley, and I am running to be your premier again.
00:02:24.880
She did it in Calgary, which is, I guess, a courageous move in itself.
00:02:31.440
Notley and her NDP are about to lose very, very badly.
00:02:37.840
Reduced to fringe party status in rural Alberta.
00:03:02.960
and other oil jurisdictions, including North Dakota,
00:03:09.420
Alberta has the highest unemployment outside of Atlantic Canada.
00:03:21.460
how can it have the highest unemployment rate in Calgary?
00:03:25.420
In fact, there's a second recession coming to the province.
00:03:31.540
I'm deeply worried that rebounding won't even be that easy.
00:03:36.720
the United States, is now our biggest competitor.
00:03:39.760
U.S. oil and gas production is at record levels.
00:03:46.820
They're not only exporting energy to foreign countries,
00:03:53.020
Most of the problem is the ban on oil pipelines in Canada.
00:03:57.160
Notley herself has been against oil pipelines for years.
0.74
00:04:03.380
No tar sands, no tankers, no pipelines, no problem.
00:04:07.100
But here she is as premier, still railing against them.
00:04:11.160
And God forbid, if Alberta were to export crude oil, remember this?
00:04:16.060
Our position on the Keystone was that if we ship unprocessed bitumen to Texas,
00:04:22.400
according to this government and to the American government,
00:04:25.240
we will give tens of thousands of Alberta jobs to Texas, not to Albertans.
00:04:32.920
That was her railing against the Keystone XL pipeline.
0.93
00:04:35.640
She was also against the Northern Gateway pipeline.
00:04:38.120
She didn't lift a finger to support the last two pipelines that were killed,
00:04:45.160
She was against them in her heart, I presume, because she didn't say a word about them with her mouth.
00:04:51.780
She didn't go to Quebec or B.C. to campaign for them.
00:04:54.960
Now, today in her election announcement, she claimed to be pro-pipeline.
00:05:06.780
We have pushed the federal government to buy the pipeline.
00:05:09.740
We have talked to Canadians from coast to coast to coast to build support for that pipeline.
00:05:15.680
We have moved the dial in terms of the priority that Canadians across the country place on getting that pipeline built.
00:05:29.240
I will keep pushing the federal government, and we will make darn sure that thing gets built.
0.99
00:05:33.560
It is absolutely fundamental to Albertans' futures and to Canadians'.
00:05:37.680
The kid with her hands on her ears was shown out, I guess.
00:05:42.500
I just don't believe that she supports pipelines, by the way.
00:05:47.900
That's Trudeau's proposed law that would put any new pipeline or major industrial project, even the mine, for example, through a gender analysis.
1.00
00:05:56.520
I'm sorry, I can't say that without laughing, but it's no laughing matter.
00:06:02.040
Project's decisions will be based on science, evidence, and indigenous traditional knowledge.
00:06:07.440
We're also taking a bigger picture look at the potential impacts of a proposed project.
00:06:12.280
Instead of just looking at the environmental impacts, we'll look at how a project could affect our communities and health,
00:06:18.500
jobs and the economy over the long term, and we'll also do a gender-based analysis.
00:06:30.440
She's okay with even the carbon tax, even though it didn't buy the social license to put through pipelines as she promised it would.
00:06:37.260
In fact, the only thing she's positively done, besides putting in a carbon tax, raising carbon taxes, corporate taxes,
00:06:44.060
and generally demonizing the industry, is to literally ban Alberta oil companies from producing oil.
00:06:51.580
So, yeah, I don't think people are buying it, that she loves oil and gas.
00:06:55.300
But 28 days is a long time in politics, especially during a campaign.
00:07:04.260
Even if Notley is thrown out, there's still the pipeline problem.
00:07:08.280
Yesterday, in his latest cabinet shuffle, Justin Trudeau promoted Joyce Murray,
00:07:11.700
a far-left Vancouver liberal who campaigned hard against pipelines and against the oil sands.
00:07:26.680
Don't expect any new pipelines in a hurry if that's your cabinet minister.
00:07:30.480
So, the past four years, while Alberta's been in the fetal position,
00:07:33.900
the rest of the world has rebounded in oil and gas.
00:07:36.380
I'm worried we might have missed the moment in Canada, like Canada did with the delayed McKenzie Valley pipeline.
00:07:44.960
Red tape and green environmentalists delayed that for so long, for decades actually, that it's dead.
00:07:51.440
It was finally approved legally, but now it's dead economically.
00:07:55.020
The price of natural gas will probably never be high enough anymore to justify that pipeline now
00:07:59.100
because fracking has caused natural gas to be so cheap.
00:08:01.820
So, yeah, the North is waiting for that $20 billion McKenzie pipeline.
00:08:09.820
I don't think it's quite that bad for Alberta oil,
00:08:12.540
but in fact, the National Energy Board has reported that oil production in Canada is falling for the first time in a decade.
00:08:20.420
Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world.
00:08:26.620
and yet we're producing less like Venezuela is producing less now, too, for similar reasons.
00:08:36.540
If you take her at her word that she actually supports oil and gas,
00:08:42.680
I read her first speech in Washington, D.C. four years ago.
00:08:45.540
She didn't mention pipelines at all in that trip.
00:08:48.500
That's pretty much all an Alberta premier has to say in Washington.
00:08:52.620
She prefers to talk about wind turbines and solar panels,
00:09:01.060
We're also investing and moving forward very aggressively on our Made in Alberta energy diversification program.
00:09:10.580
and in the longer term, it will leave our economy more resilient to the inevitable ups and downs with respect to oil prices.
00:09:18.880
Would Silicon Valley diversify away from high-tech?
00:09:25.500
We've got to get rid of all these high-tech companies.
00:09:35.580
Yeah, we've got to get out of this movie business.
00:09:44.280
It's insane for Alberta, sitting on 173 billion barrels of oil, in the oil sense, to diversify away from oil.
00:09:54.660
You'll recall she had a sham press conference a month ago where she said she was going to give a $400 million loan guarantee to an oil upgrader project,
00:10:02.580
and the entire media party reported it like stenographers.
00:10:05.180
Not only said, quote, construction was already underway, but remember, our Sheila Gunn-Reed went to the site and saw it's just a snow-covered field.
00:10:16.060
The president of the company himself confirmed to me directly, they're not even hiring anyone, let alone the construction's underway.
00:10:27.800
Unless you're part of Alberta's massive and growing government sector that's never been bigger.
00:10:34.540
I think most government sector workers will be there for Notley, not just to vote, but to volunteer and to donate as third-party campaign groups.
00:10:43.220
They know what side their bread is buttered on.
00:10:45.460
But I bet that even some Albertans who work for the government know that even their own jobs are in peril if the economy keeps failing.
00:10:52.100
As Margaret Thatcher said about socialism, sooner or later you run out of other people's money.
00:10:57.240
I think that's the beginning and the end of it.
00:10:58.780
Notley has harmed Alberta's key industry, both substantively and rhetorically.
00:11:03.240
She hasn't stood up to Trudeau in any way, or to her fellow NDP or John Horgan, NBC or Jagmeet Singh, federally.
00:11:14.140
But there are other reasons I think she'll lose, too.
00:11:16.660
Notley's war on family farms, requiring farm kids to be treated like unionized workers, for example.
00:11:23.420
It is unanimously despised by farmers and ranchers, which is the point.
00:11:27.860
Notley hates them because they're the freest of Albertans, the least socialist of Albertans.
00:11:33.100
And then there's her war against parents in the schools, especially a war against Christian schools.
0.98
00:11:37.560
Test scores are plummeting in Alberta, but she's going full tilt with her ideological re-education.
00:11:47.240
It's a communist propaganda tract called Mouse Land.
00:11:58.340
She goes into schools and reads communist books.
00:12:01.900
And you know her education minister, David Agin.
00:12:13.880
That was him chanting no more approvals to the oil sands.
00:12:19.120
They were an accidental government elected by accident when Albertans decided all at the
00:12:23.420
same time that they hated and couldn't trust the late Jim Prentiss, who was then the progressive
00:12:28.120
conservative premier, and Daniel Smith, who was then the Wildrose opposition leader.
00:12:32.540
Because the two of them, Smith and Prentiss, had cooked up a backroom deal between them.
00:12:41.200
Smith was the opposition to Prentiss's right, which is refreshing.
00:12:52.240
Where half the Wildrose opposition defected to join the government just weeks before the
00:12:59.580
It was an obvious attempt to deprive Albertans of any real choice.
00:13:03.220
Albertans were so mad about this, they punished both parties for trying to destroy democracy
00:13:12.840
But alas, the greatest punishment was meted out against Albertans themselves who have
00:13:18.660
So now we have Jason Kenney, leading the United Conservative Party, or the UCP.
00:13:26.140
Then he merged with Brian Jean's Wildrose Party.
00:13:29.160
And then he won the leadership of that United Party.
00:13:33.020
He has lots of experience and staff inherited from his time as a Harper cabinet minister.
00:13:37.580
But now comes news of all sorts of Prentiss-like tricks.
00:13:42.460
Apparently, Jason Kenney met secretly with a spoiler leadership candidate for the UCP named
00:13:47.060
Jeff Calloway, who also ran for the UCP leadership.
00:13:49.820
But his job was to be a kamikaze against Brian Jean, saying awful things about Jean so that
00:13:55.800
And then he'd drop out and back Kenny at the last minute.
00:13:58.840
In a well-timed series of leaks, details of those backroom deals have been leaked everywhere.
00:14:12.620
But my point a moment ago about the secret deal between Prentiss and Danielle Smith to
00:14:17.920
remove a real electoral choice to the people, that point remains.
00:14:25.900
Why are you trying to pull a fast one over the electorate?
00:14:29.960
Surely Jason Kenney was going to steamroll everything anyways.
00:14:35.060
It truly feels like some students' union level hijinks.
00:14:37.800
Why not just campaign on the obvious huge elephant in the room?
00:14:40.980
Rachel Notley and her NDP destroyers have wrecked the province.
00:14:44.740
And Kenney, he's a former Harper cabinet minister and former Canadian Taxpayers Federation
00:14:52.900
And he's actually run part of a government before.
00:15:05.100
Did he need to win the leadership with 75% instead of the 61% he got?
00:15:15.320
And I note that all the mainstream media to whom Kenney has prostrated himself these past
00:15:24.020
You might recall that two years ago, Jason Kenney denounced 3,000 unemployed oil and gas
00:15:28.240
workers at a rebel rally outside the legislature.
00:15:31.000
He called them ridiculous and offensive when they made a 30-second jokey chant of lock her
00:15:38.560
This was an homage to the Trump rally saying the same about Hillary Clinton.
00:15:42.180
Kenney thought he'd appease the fancy people at the CBC and push away the grassroots unemployed
00:15:46.780
who were not protesting their unemployment politely enough.
00:15:51.240
Kenney did it again this year when he criticized the United We Rule convoy and refused to meet
00:16:00.560
Kenney just sent out some weird passive-aggressive tweet.
00:16:13.980
I was on the editorial board of the National Post.
00:16:16.280
When some of the red Tories on the board, the editorial board, would pitch some worthy
00:16:24.900
There was these debates in the National Post editorial board.
00:16:27.160
And I would answer by saying, we already have a Globe and Mail.
00:16:34.840
Why would there be a need for a National Post newspaper that said exactly what the Globe
00:16:42.300
My analogy is, what is the point of a UCP leader who is as mealy-mouthed and timid as,
00:16:49.520
well, I don't know, in some cases, not only herself?
00:16:51.580
Well, Jason Kenney supported her plans to nationalize a pipeline, at least at first.
00:16:56.020
He supported her plans to put a cap, production cap, on the oil sands.
00:17:05.800
Well, the race is on, and it's clear that Notley is opening up a personal front against
00:17:12.760
Two days ago, we learned that Mr. Kenney cheated to win his party's leadership.
00:17:20.960
And when he was caught, he didn't tell the truth.
00:17:26.180
Mr. Kenney looked Albertans in the eye and very casually and very comfortably lied to us,
00:17:33.340
which in many ways goes to the heart of this issue, how comfortable Mr. Kenney is with lying.
00:17:40.580
And the well-timed news about Jason Kenney's secret arrangements with Jeff Calloway, that
00:17:46.740
other candidate, that stocking horse candidate, they gave Notley a basis to make those claims
00:17:53.080
Personally, I just don't think they matter enough to Albertans, though, not when 200,000
00:17:57.560
people are out of work in provinces heading into a second NDP recession.
00:18:01.980
I just don't think people care enough about shenanigans.
00:18:04.220
I think the enthusiasm level for Kenney personally is probably way down.
00:18:13.400
I think people will start to look at Jason Kenney as a BS-er, maybe an Ottawa slickster.
00:18:18.340
That's what the NDP has been saying about him for years.
00:18:21.140
I don't think people will love him as they might have, but that's fine.
00:18:26.720
They just voted for him because he got the job done.
00:18:32.900
Well, we've had an important role these past four years in Alberta, if I may say so myself.
00:18:37.740
You might recall the emergency town hall meetings we had to packed houses in Calgary, in Edmonton,
00:18:43.120
Fort McMurray, warning about the NDP's true colors.
00:18:49.240
Sheila Gunn-Reed published what I think was the best-selling Alberta political book of all
00:18:53.300
time called The Destroyers, doing a deep biography of Notley's key staff and their awful backgrounds.
00:19:00.560
Sheila followed up with another best-selling book about David Suzuki, one of Notley's key
00:19:09.520
You'll recall, Notley sent an armed sheriff to stop Sheila from even stepping onto the
00:19:14.680
A clearly illegal act by Notley that she finally abandoned in the face of national scorn.
00:19:19.580
Notley, of course, is trying to take a run at us again, complaining to her own hand-picked
1.00
00:19:23.240
elections commissioner to shut us down for having critical commentaries about her.
00:19:29.940
You work for an organization that probably ought to be registered as a third party under
00:19:34.600
the elections legislation, and so I have nothing more to say to that.
00:19:42.140
So I'm delighted to announce that we're publishing a new book by Sheila Gunn-Reed, and I think it's
00:19:52.800
It's called simply Stop Notley, The Case for Throwing Out the NDP, and you can order it
00:20:03.660
It's just under 25,000 words, but it is jam-packed with facts.
00:20:08.180
Facts of the mainstream media have not told you about these past four years.
00:20:11.080
It quickly recaps the highlights from Sheila's book, The Destroyers, and then gives you three
00:20:20.260
Yeah, it's $5 as an e-book or $10 as a paperback.
00:20:24.040
Again, you can get that on Amazon.ca, or you could go to StopNotley.com, and while you're
00:20:28.920
there, you can order a lawn sign to promote the book.
00:20:37.660
Obviously, we can't put a 25,000-word argument against Notley on a lawn sign or even on a big
00:20:42.300
billboard, but if you put up the lawn sign, you can send a clear enough message
00:20:46.680
in those two words, even if someone's driving by quickly, StopNotley.com.
00:20:51.760
But more importantly, you can tell people how to get around the mainstream media, how
00:20:55.060
to get the book directly for just $5 as an e-book, $10 as a paperback.
00:20:59.880
So you can do both of those things on StopNotley.com.
00:21:02.940
You can get the book, and you can get the lawn sign to promote the book.
00:21:07.540
I think that Jason Kenney has made some big mistakes.
00:21:09.960
He's been too clever by half with his backroom deals.
00:21:12.120
They just weren't necessary, and they were too tricky, too gimmicky, not plain and normal.
00:21:17.480
They smack of the weird deal Prentice and Danielle Smith made.
00:21:21.840
And he has been far too eager to suck up to the leftist media, whether it's bashing us
00:21:25.860
or bashing the pipeline convoy or even his monthly anti-Trump rants, which I think are
00:21:31.560
bizarre and inappropriate, given that Donald Trump is probably going to be the only person
00:21:35.180
who built a pipeline for the oil sands in the next five years.
00:21:37.400
I think it's Kenney's attempt to get the CBCs and the McLeans of the world to like him.
00:21:41.720
And as you can see by the wall-to-wall mockery and accusations against him, yeah, that's not
00:21:47.640
How about just being a conservative candidate in the most conservative province?
00:21:53.440
But who knows what else the NDP and their media allies have in store for the weeks ahead.
00:21:59.600
A great book by Sheila, a great new part of the team in Calgary, namely Kian Bexte, and a
00:22:05.940
huge swath of Albertans who now get their news from us, not from the state broadcaster
00:22:42.600
My name is Rachel Notley, and I am running to be your premier again.
00:22:49.840
And I got to say, put aside her deadly ideology and policies, she comes across as quite a charming
0.99
00:22:57.500
She has a warmth to her that, frankly, Jason Kenney does not.
00:23:00.460
He comes across sometimes as sort of Fred Flintstone, both in his shape, like a weeble
1.00
00:23:05.380
a little bit, like those little Russian dolls within dolls.
00:23:13.480
And I think for some people, it's that look and feel that they vote for.
00:23:17.280
I think that's how Rachel Notley slipped by last time.
0.97
00:23:20.460
People looked at her and said, well, she doesn't look that bad.
00:23:22.620
Well, Abacus Research said 91% of Albertans voted for Rachel Notley last time just because
00:23:31.620
Or has the mass unemployment, the carbon tax, the war on schools, and the lack of pipelines
00:23:41.140
Joining us now to talk about it is our friend, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:23:48.200
Rachel Notley comes across as a nice lady.
0.97
00:23:55.340
It almost got Bitto O'Rourke elected the senator for Texas.
00:24:13.520
And I think the veil has slipped a few too many times for Albertans to be fooled coming
00:24:22.300
I don't think any amount of smear campaign on behalf of the NDP and their collaborators
00:24:28.000
in the mainstream media are going to convince Albertans to vote for more carbon taxes, more
00:24:35.220
attacks on Christian education, and fewer jobs.
00:24:38.600
You know, I immediately accept your correction there, because even in her—I mean, I just
00:24:44.100
watched that again, and I thought, boy, that she came across nicely there.
00:24:46.860
But she quickly descended into mud-throwing, Jason Kenney is a liar.
00:24:53.960
And of course, her delegates are even more brutal.
00:24:56.980
And of course, their surrogates are even more brutal.
00:24:59.800
I'm talking about the public sector union-funded front groups in Alberta.
00:25:04.340
I take your correction, Sheila, she's a polished politician, and she comes by it naturally.
1.00
00:25:11.540
She was the daughter of Grant Notley, a lifelong career politician, so she's learned the craft
00:25:24.980
I think she's actually governed quite brutally, despite her friendly facade.
00:25:30.120
It's very hard for Albertans to forget just how much she's attacked normal Albertans and
00:25:39.120
how much she's allowed her high-profile cabinet ministers to attack Albertans.
0.83
00:25:44.840
Just very recently, we ran our Fire Phillips billboard on the side of Highway 2.
00:25:54.640
And we ran that campaign because Shannon Phillips, the environment minister, lied on several
00:26:01.420
occasions about how violent and how threatening Albertans are in small towns who are opposing
00:26:07.780
her plans to turn their backyard into a provincial park that they can't really use anymore.
00:26:14.440
Albertans have not forgotten how the deputy premier and the health minister called them
00:26:20.560
all a bunch of sewer rats, and Rachel Notley didn't have much to say in defense of normal
0.98
00:26:26.460
Neither one of those two cabinet ministers faced any sort of real reprimand.
00:26:32.140
So while Rachel Notley has crinkly eyes and a nice smile, it's just a polished veneer.
00:26:40.120
And of course, you have been the recipient of the brunt of her rage.
00:26:45.060
I remember when you simply wanted to attend to the legislature a few years back, she dispatched
00:26:52.440
So, you know, the friendly schoolmarm look, the mask quickly falls, the veil drops, as
00:27:01.220
And look, it's been a rough week or so for Jason Kenney and the media.
00:27:07.960
I think Jason Kenney has made it easy for the media to take shots at him in the last week
00:27:12.800
with his behind-the-scenes weirdness with other candidates.
00:27:18.460
But I think that my own sense of Alberta, and I'm not there as much as I'd like to be
00:27:27.320
That really they would vote for almost anyone just to get rid of the carbon taxing, oil patch
00:27:34.140
I just think that no matter how brutal the campaign is to Jason Kenney and the UCP, I
00:27:45.440
With regard to Jason Kenney, for all of his pandering to the media and denouncing people
00:27:52.340
the media wanted him to denounce, they sure don't like him.
00:27:56.320
And they're sure willing to do whatever they can to help Rachel Notley and the NDP win this
00:28:03.180
But I think there's a strong sentiment, much like in the dying days of Alison Redford's
00:28:10.480
PC government and then Jim Prentice's PC government, that Albertans are desperate for something
00:28:16.640
And they're willing to vote for just about anything just to get that change.
00:28:26.240
You have owned the Rachel Notley NDP file more than any other reporter in Alberta.
00:28:31.560
I'm so pleased that a few months ago you were joined in Calgary by Kian Bextie, who's really
00:28:36.520
come along as a reporter and he's broken some great stories.
00:28:39.860
A few months, about a month ago, he broke the story of Darren Billis, a senior cabinet
00:28:44.020
minister in Rachel Notley's government and, you know, not paying alimony, his wife accusing
00:28:49.480
him under oath of drug abuse, an affair with a senior NDP MLA, like just crazy, crazy stuff.
00:29:00.920
And I just finished reading your new book called Stop Notley, the case for throwing out
00:29:08.880
It's a quick read, which is good because everybody's busy these days.
00:29:14.960
And, uh, don't give it all away, but give, give folks maybe a one minute summary.
00:29:23.100
Well, the new book, I suppose the motivation for the new book is the same as the motivation
00:29:30.360
We just can't trust the mainstream media to accurately give us the NDP record.
00:29:39.920
We documented stuff that the mainstream media has either underreported or refuses to report.
00:29:49.420
Um, in that expose, he discovered, um, the use of caucus resources, namely, um, Heather
00:29:56.160
Mack, Sandra Janssen's chief of staff that attended court hearings of Darren Billis and
00:30:03.080
his, uh, soon to be, or now currently ex-wife that wasn't covered in the mainstream media.
00:30:09.000
You and I covered the story of Value Creation Inc., which was, um, basically a fraudulent
00:30:15.260
press announcement by Rachel Notley, who promised to give, uh, nearly half a billion dollars
00:30:20.820
to a company that hasn't done anything, that went broke 10 years ago, and has a technology
00:30:29.080
Um, it's that sort of stuff, um, that's in the book.
00:30:32.700
Um, it's a sort of, uh, re-documentation of the NDP's, uh, biggest failures and, um, some
00:30:41.300
of the things or much of the things that the mainstream media refuses to report.
00:30:46.080
I mean, the subtitle says it all, the case for throwing out the NDP.
00:30:49.420
Well, I'm really excited about that book and, um, you know, traditionally, I mean, I've
00:30:54.120
written a number of books, uh, for example, I wrote books, uh, for, uh, McClellan and Stewart,
00:30:59.820
which is now owned by Penguin Random House, huge publisher, one of the world's biggest
00:31:03.920
publishers, in fact, and I remember being on a book tour when I did Ethical Oil, when
00:31:07.860
I did Shakedown, and they would set up a, a media tour for me, uh, including a lot of
00:31:15.520
CBC venues and a lot of, you know, newspaper editorial boards, and you would do the circuit.
00:31:20.680
I know, Sheila, that the CBC will not have you on to talk about your book, not even to
00:31:27.180
attack you, um, because you could hold your own and it would spread the word about your
00:31:31.280
I am certain in advance that only maybe a few folks in talk radio or a few sort of internet
00:31:38.440
YouTubers or whatnot, I know no other mainstream media would have you on.
00:31:42.760
And even if there were friends of yours working at different newspapers, their editors would
00:31:49.140
So we've come up with an idea to promote your book that I think is very appropriate for
00:31:54.640
the season, and that is lawn signs promoting the book.
00:32:00.180
And I like the look of them, and you and Kian have taken delivery of thousands of these lawn
00:32:07.680
I, I can't think of anyone else who's promoted a book with a lawn sign, but I think it's a
00:32:16.580
Um, yeah, with regard to, uh, there, the fact that there will be a near complete mainstream
00:32:22.620
media blackout with regard to my book, uh, I had two Canadian bestsellers before this,
00:32:27.880
the destroyers and, uh, a David Suzuki auto, not an autobiography, a David Suzuki biography.
00:32:36.740
They didn't make it on any official bestseller list because they basically blacklisted us.
00:32:41.500
So we have to have a bit of a guerrilla marketing campaign with the new book.
00:32:46.240
Um, and like everything we do here at the rebel, we have to rely on our viewers and our supporters
00:32:54.120
Um, so that's what I love about the lawn signs.
00:32:56.660
They are a great way for people to show support for us to show their interest in stopping
00:33:04.540
And they can get those lawn signs at stopnotley.com.
00:33:10.020
Now I want to say, of course, a lot of viewers of this, uh, video we're in right now will be
00:33:15.420
outside of Alberta and we want to reserve the lawn signs for Albertans.
00:33:20.180
And I'm sorry for folks in other provinces who want one of those lawn signs as a souvenir.
00:33:24.900
If there are any left after the, after we're done, the project will make them available.
00:33:30.220
But please understand, uh, that the focus of this book, of course, as the subtitle says,
00:33:36.200
Um, so if folks want to get the book, they can get it on Amazon.
00:33:40.960
You can get both of those things at stopnotley.com.
00:33:46.860
I'm going to predict you're going to have your third national bestseller on your hands.
00:33:55.100
I think this is going to be a phenomenally successful book.
00:33:59.120
And I think the success of my book falls squarely on the mainstream media and their complete
00:34:03.640
and total abdication of their duty to bring Canadians and Albertans the full story.
00:34:11.200
Sheila Gunn-Reed, our Alberta Bureau Chief and the author of the new book that is literally
00:34:18.280
And you can find out how to get it by going to stopnotley.com.
00:34:39.580
I'm sorry I was away yesterday, but I'm back all week.
00:34:44.900
On my monologue Friday about Tommy Robinson losing his case against the Cambridgeshire police,
00:34:50.500
Tommy and his family need to get out of the UK.
00:34:59.500
But if you know Tommy, you know, that's like, you know, he's a British 100 generations in
00:35:07.580
It's almost like he could survive nowhere else.
00:35:11.520
He just, I don't even think he would know what to do in any other country.
00:35:22.100
The video Tommy filed pretty much spoke for itself.
00:35:26.440
You're talking about when the Cambridgeshire police just ordered Tommy with his kids to
00:35:31.560
get out of a pub and then ordered them to leave the city.
00:35:36.000
I've never seen anything like that in North America.
00:35:38.780
It really did remind me of some sort of deep South Jim Crow law era segregation, you know,
00:35:49.860
I'm just glad Ezra got out of there without the judge putting him in the dungeon.
00:35:52.960
Yeah, I was live tweeting as if I was in Canada or the United States.
00:35:58.900
By the way, I've done the same thing from the old Bailey and the Royal Courts of Justice
00:36:04.000
But the judge stopped things three times to wag her finger at me and say, don't you offer
0.98
00:36:19.000
You're not allowed to have any opinion on what you see in court.
00:36:23.840
Anyhow, I'm, I'm, I got to tell you, I'm scared about the UK, but I see news just,
00:36:29.320
was it today or yesterday, that the Justice Committee in Parliament is now going to reopen
00:36:35.340
the censorship provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Act, Section 13, that was repealed
00:36:48.740
So yeah, we're only about five minutes behind the UK in terms of censorship.
00:36:59.360
If you're from Alberta, get one of our lawn signs.
1.00
00:37:01.980
I'm afraid if you're not in Alberta, we want to keep them just for the Albertans, at least
00:37:06.540
When the project's over, you can, you can have them, but you can imagine we have 5,000
00:37:12.880
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,
