Rebel News Podcast - Alberta targets rodeos, Social justice Coca-Cola

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you in which we look back at some

00:00:20.060 of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host David Menzies.

00:00:25.560 Well the harassment of freedom loving Albertans continues. First the COVID Cairns came for churches 0.97

00:00:33.420 then restaurants then motocross events and now gee is nothing sacred. They are targeting rodeos.

00:00:42.740 Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the nitty-gritty details. And the Coca-Cola company thought it was a jolly

00:00:48.380 good idea to embrace racist policies in the name of social justice. Guess what? Their customers

00:00:56.680 didn't appreciate this kind of wokeism and sales of the soda have tanked big time. High energy

00:01:05.180 Andrew Chapitose has the story. And letters, we get your letters. We get them every minute of every day

00:01:11.060 and you had plenty to say about the massive anti-lockdown protests that took place last

00:01:16.900 Saturday in Montreal. It was a joyous event. It was a festive event actually. Although you wouldn't

00:01:24.140 know that if you relied on the mainstream media for your news. Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.

00:01:31.060 The love for the sport was the love for your job. And that's all I wanted to do is just ride bulls

00:01:41.880 because that's what I love to do. And that's how I love to make my money. And having that gone it's

00:01:45.700 just it it hurt a lot. Churches have been outlawed. Radios have been outlawed. Peaceful protests have

00:01:51.540 been outlawed. Family dinners have been outlawed. Showing our faces in public have all been outlawed.

00:01:55.860 But as Thomas Jefferson said when law becomes injustice resistance becomes duty. This is where

00:02:03.300 we need to be all summer long. Not one rodeo. All summer long. We would go almost every single

00:02:08.820 weekend to a rodeo. This is Canada. This is a free country. We have freedom to speak. Freedom to go to

00:02:14.900 church. Freedom to be us. And you're trying to take that away from us but we aren't going to let you. If

00:02:19.700 the government doesn't want us to have events and plan events and they say that we can't plan events

00:02:24.820 months in advance then we're going to we're going to plan them for ourselves. We'll do it ourselves.

00:02:28.500 That's the Alberta way. I know everybody in my world and they're standing behind me right now.

00:02:33.700 And AHS and Dina Hinshaw and Jason Kenney and the whole works of them assholes. They can stuff it. 0.99

00:02:43.300 Here we have it. Give her. Go ahead.

00:02:44.900 Sheila Gunn-Reed here for Rebel News at the No More Lockdowns Rodeo near Bowdoin, Alberta. Yes,

00:02:57.300 friends, it's another weekend where I can't believe that this is my real job that I get paid for because

00:03:02.500 for those of you who don't know, I love rodeo. I love rodeo culture. I love western wear a little

00:03:07.380 more than I should. I love little kids and cowboy hats. I love the prayers before rodeo begins.

00:03:12.820 I love the celebration of the tradition of man versus animal that has built so much of this great

00:03:17.700 province. And I love fighting the government for freedom. So this is a great day on the job for me

00:03:23.620 because the government has said that this event cannot go forward. I should tell you that our

00:03:28.180 friends at the Western Standard are sponsoring the rodeo today. Good move guys, right on brand.

00:03:33.540 And they've live streamed the entire event so far and it's up on their YouTube page if you want to

00:03:37.700 check it out. Now today's Sunday, so day two of this two-day event. Cowboy Church has just wrapped up.

00:03:44.820 How many different ways is that illegal in Alberta? An in-person unrestricted church at an illegal rodeo.

00:03:51.460 Anyway, approximately 2,000 people were in attendance yesterday here at Ty Northcott's farm just south of

00:03:59.860 Bowdoin. Ty Northcott is a legend in the Canadian rodeo industry and he's a stock provider for the

00:04:06.660 sport and initially he tried to put on his protest rodeo at the local Bowdoin rodeo grounds but after

00:04:13.380 Alberta Health Services put pressure on the local ag society they terminated their contract with him to

00:04:20.580 use the site. But as they say the show must go on so Ty moved the entire rodeo over to his farm

00:04:28.900 in the blink of an eye. Yesterday two local RCMP officers were sent out to investigate the event.

00:04:36.180 Rebel News was there when they arrived but they weren't adversarial whatsoever. They were clearly

00:04:42.980 not here yesterday to bust up the event. How could they? There were just two of them. They were here to

00:04:47.380 collect evidence on behalf of Alberta Health Services so that they can come along and ticket

00:04:51.940 Ty after the fact. This friends is a deeply conservative area and this is the heart of

00:04:58.260 Canada's rodeo country and these folks in attendance today are normally the base that UCP Premier Jason

00:05:05.380 Kenney can reliably count on but yesterday when Jason Kenney's name was mentioned he was booed. These

00:05:13.140 people are here to rebel against Jason Kenney's lockdown not only on their favourite sport but on

00:05:18.980 their lives in general. Rodeo in Canada has missed one full season and the second season is in serious

00:05:26.740 jeopardy if the sport doesn't reopen immediately. Meanwhile in places like Wyoming, North and South Dakota,

00:05:33.780 Texas and Florida, Cowboys are making money and competing every single weekend in the sport they love.

00:05:40.500 Canadian cowboys are being left behind. Here in Alberta the government wants us to believe that

00:05:45.940 cowboys who ride bulls and saddle bronx and wrestle steers should be scared enough of a disease with a

00:05:53.140 nearly 100% survival rate that they should understand why their sport is being slowly killed by the

00:05:59.620 government. All the right people are outraged about this event. NDP leader and former Premier Rachel

00:06:05.060 Notley says she has no words for what's happening here. Well I do Rachel just pretend this is a BLM march

00:06:11.380 of thousands of people in an Edmonton or a Calgary street back when it was perfectly safe for your MLAs

00:06:18.900 to attend those events and even speak at them. Amazing isn't it folks? The great destroyer Rachel Notley

00:06:25.940 has no words for an illegal rodeo taking place but oh she has plenty of words and words of affirmation no 0.99

00:06:34.260 less when it comes to Black Lives Matter demonstrations because of course the Wuhan virus won't infect 0.95

00:06:42.100 social justice demonstrators but I guess it hates rodeo fans and it will turn such a gathering into a super

00:06:50.660 spreader event because that's what the science dictates. But what kind of science are we speaking

00:06:58.820 of here? Political science or weird science? And joining me now regarding the war on rodeo in Alberta

00:07:08.420 is Sheila Gunn-Reed. How you doing there Sheila? Hey David thanks for having me on the show. Always a

00:07:14.100 pleasure my friend. So Sheila last week we spoke about the war on motocross in Alberta. This week

00:07:20.500 it's the rodeo and I have to ask the same question. Given that the vast majority of the Wuhan virus deaths

00:07:29.940 are seniors residing in long-term care facilities how in the world does shutting down an outdoor rodeo

00:07:38.500 do anything to improve that gruesome situation? It doesn't. Everybody knows that it doesn't. I mean

00:07:47.380 as you rightly point out the vast majority of the deaths related to the COVID-19 pandemic are coming

00:07:57.940 from government controlled and government regulated facilities namely long-term care facilities.

00:08:03.460 It's not coming from anything that's happening outside and actually we know that living a sedentary

00:08:10.740 lifestyle and being inactive those are some of the largest contributors to the comorbidities that result

00:08:20.020 in deaths related to COVID-19. So shutting down these outdoor activities with largely fit young people

00:08:28.420 as competitors seems counterintuitive if you are truly concerned about the spread of the coronavirus.

00:08:34.260 Yeah and I mean to compare apples with apples here Sheila I would suggest that on the same day that rodeo was 0.93

00:08:42.420 happening in your province there were walmarts there were costcos indoor gatherings maybe even more people

00:08:49.540 than showed up to that rodeo so where's the science here uh that an outdoor event is a super spreader

00:08:58.340 event but indoors shop till you drop hey that's okay I don't get it. Yeah I mean that's the thing

00:09:06.180 everybody wants us to follow the science but the science seems to be changing day by day

00:09:11.700 based on the whims of politicians for example here in Alberta three weeks ago they said the only safe place

00:09:19.140 to dine and it was perfectly safe was outdoors on a patio so all the restaurant owners ran out invested

00:09:28.100 in permits furniture heaters tents they expanded their patios then earlier this week Jason Kenney said

00:09:36.580 oh no you know what now that's not safe sorry about all the money you invested in this sorry about telling

00:09:42.660 you three weeks ago that that was the only safe way to dine apparently there's only one safe way to dine

00:09:48.420 and that's takeout as long as you go straight home and eat it with your immediate family none of it

00:09:55.060 makes sense and that's the reason why people are doing these things now people who played by the rules

00:10:01.780 for 14 I guess we're approaching 15 months now 15 months of two weeks to flatten the curve they've had

00:10:08.820 enough and they have figured out that the government is never going to give them their rights back give

00:10:16.740 them their life back give them their freedom back give them their sports and their passions back

00:10:21.940 they're just going to have to take them and drag the government kicking and screaming into changing 1.00

00:10:27.220 their mind you know Sheila I'm glad you brought uh premier kenny into this because uh I have serious

00:10:33.620 doubts uh how he's coming to so many uh decisions I'm I took a shot at Rachel Notley uh for the hypocrisy of uh 1.00

00:10:42.340 uh dumping on rodeo yet embracing even larger gatherings of black lives matter demonstrated demonstrators but 0.95

00:10:50.260 you would expect that from Rachel Notley you would expect her to be hypocritical uh when it comes to 0.98

00:10:57.780 different types of demonstrations you would expect her to dump on western heritage which is rodeo but it

00:11:05.860 seems that I heard a rumor that premier kenny said words to the effect of he wants a new base what what

00:11:14.660 what was wrong with the old base and this would be rodeo supporters and rodeo people what was wrong

00:11:22.020 with that old base that gave him a majority a couple of years ago yeah that's the thing you said in your

00:11:27.220 introduction that Rachel Notley said she had no words that that's fine she by and large shut up then 1.00

00:11:33.860 but jason kenny had plenty of words for these people who are his base the Bowdoin rodeo is exactly

00:11:42.980 a place where jason kenny would drive his blue pickup truck his unite alberta pickup truck and campaign

00:11:48.660 for votes he would shake hands he'd flip pancakes in the morning and he would go to cowboy church

00:11:55.700 yet after the rodeo he denounced not only the people who attended the rodeo but the rodeo organizers

00:12:03.860 ty northcott and i suppose by extension the professional cowboys who competed in the event

00:12:12.260 and these are well-known professional cowboys that if they had the i at this point good fortune to be

00:12:20.020 americans they would be rodeoing just fine in wyoming in montana in the dakotas in florida and in texas

00:12:28.660 because those are the only places right now that you can make money as a cowboy and some places in

00:12:33.540 nevada um but they're basically out of luck here in alberta and jason kenny went on this several

00:12:44.740 tweet screed uh right after the rodeo denouncing the people who went and also saying that they don't

00:12:53.940 represent the rodeo community if working cowboys canadian finals rodeo competitors and ty northcott

00:13:03.300 a generational cowboy a stock contractor i mean the guy's the heart and soul of the rodeo industry

00:13:11.060 if these people are not representative of rodeo then nobody is and it's certainly not a career

00:13:18.020 politician from his perch in edmonton who speaks for the rodeo community the thing is jason kenny has

00:13:24.340 to try to say that they don't represent the rodeo community at large because because naturally then

00:13:32.500 he'd have a real problem on his hands right that he he's got to paint those people as fringe radicals

00:13:38.420 because then you know then they seem like a small minority instead of the vocal majority of rodeo now is

00:13:46.260 speaking out against jason kenny sheila to me what you just said is so staggering as you know i i got

00:13:53.220 into the journalism racket back in 1985 when i got a job at st paul alberta at the journal there and i

00:13:59.700 covered plenty of rodeos and in addition to meeting some of just the greatest guys you could ever come

00:14:06.500 across people that would give you the shirt off their back um my impression was that these are

00:14:13.940 hardcore conservative people these are the people that would have voted uh ucp these aren't the you

00:14:21.220 know soy boy woke latte drinking types that go for rachel notley um did something change in the world

00:14:30.020 of rodeo or if that's not the case and i don't think it's the case then what happened to premier kenny

00:14:37.780 in the space of a few years i don't know i don't know rodeo is still the same i mean i haven't been

00:14:44.340 to a rodeo except for this one since november of 2019 so it's been a while since we've had a rodeo

00:14:50.900 but it is the same old rodeo cowboy church farmers ranchers families uh prayers before um each day

00:14:58.260 kicks off i mean it's the same it's the rodeo is exactly the same what's she what's changed is jason

00:15:05.060 kenny jason kenny is not the same jason kenny that campaigned at small town rodeos um i mean to

00:15:12.660 denounce these people these hard-working people who not only are his base because they're in agriculture

00:15:18.020 but are also his base because rodeo cowboys they moonlight as professional cowboys yeah by and large

00:15:24.740 they have real jobs in trucking farming and the oil patch and so those people i mean these people

00:15:30.580 are like layers and layers and layers of the reliable conservative base and jason kenny says

00:15:35.860 he doesn't want them as his base anymore so good luck getting the woke karate in edmonton to vote for

00:15:41.220 you yeah no that's why i love the rodeo cowboys they they've all got day jobs much like professional

00:15:46.340 lacrosse players uh in in that league they're they're firefighters or police officers uh so they are

00:15:52.740 literally doing it for the love of the sport not for seven or eight figure contracts where which you see

00:15:59.140 with the other major sports exit question sheila looking forward in the days and weeks to come

00:16:06.020 do you see some critical mass here like i i know every town and city and hamlet and alberta

00:16:12.500 has a rodeo at some point on the calendar will you see more rodeos in the future spring up in defiance of

00:16:20.900 the government or will they bend the knee uh to these bureaucrats and alberta health services uh

00:16:28.500 people in terms of trying to get them to shut down because allegedly they're super spreader events

00:16:35.300 well it sounds like ty northcott is going to continue to organize rodeos and um so that he doesn't put the

00:16:43.540 local agricultural societies in jeopardy by using their rodeo grounds he's looking to use private land

00:16:48.980 to do it um and so he's not on like he's not frightened he's not scared he's going to keep

00:16:56.420 going ahead and his rodeo had sponsors so not just the western standard online which i mean

00:17:03.540 great very on brand guys at the western standard but he had some other corporate sponsors too so the

00:17:09.460 corporate world that jason kenny again usually reliably can count on um they are siding with the

00:17:17.940 lockdown resistors now and i think we are going to see critical mass the rebellion seems to constantly

00:17:25.540 be coming from rural alberta it happened with the restaurant or the restaurant rebellion it's going to

00:17:31.380 happen with rodeo um so we'll see but i mean it looks to me like that conservative coalition

00:17:40.580 that the wild rose and the old pcs that's coming undone we're seeing that you know the

00:17:50.500 people are splitting off again going back to the uh wild rose idea of you know we don't need edmonton

00:17:58.180 making our rules for us we're seeing that and we're seeing that happening within jason kenney's caucus

00:18:03.300 because there are that you know dozen and a half mlas who signed that anti-lockdown letter

00:18:09.380 yeah we're seeing things unravel for jason kenney and he's running out of time to fix it oh i agree

00:18:15.460 sheila he's playing with fire well listen that was a great report and i got to tell you as a city slicker

00:18:19.540 i love the rodeo i think i might have told you uh i went to the smoky lake rodeo in 1985 i tried some

00:18:25.460 george plimpton journalism i got on a bull called oscar for precisely two and a half seconds and then they

00:18:31.460 loaded me into an ambulance but i still love rodeo so thank you once again and you have a great weekend

00:18:38.020 sheila i will david thanks you too okay then and that was sheila gun reed somewhere in the northern

00:18:45.140 hinterland of alberta keep it here folks more of rebel roundup to come right after this

00:18:49.940 coca-cola's website says diversity equity and inclusion are at the heart of our values in our

00:19:00.740 growth strategy and play an important part in our company's success well maybe not anymore

00:19:09.780 coca-cola has paused its diversity initiative after their senior vp and global general counsel

00:19:15.140 bradley gayden has resigned many are speculating that given his huge push for diversity initiatives

00:19:21.060 at the company backlash has caused a decline in customer support if you remember last summer

00:19:26.740 coke stopped advertising on social media to boycott the lack of moderating of hate speech the ceo james

00:19:32.820 quincy even made a big social justice push in a zoom call and blog post very brave then this year

00:19:40.260 because of georgia requiring id to vote coke and other companies blasted the state for such harsh

00:19:46.180 measures and eventually the major league baseball all-star game was moved out of atlanta even though

00:19:51.300 that's where coca-cola is based out of very smart business move but perhaps the craziest move headed by

00:19:57.460 the now former vp was the diversity requirement for outside counsel when used by coca-cola in a january

00:20:04.420 2021 letter addressed to quote u.s law firms supporting the coca-cola company end quote so

00:20:10.100 basically anyone gayden required a diversity quote of 30 percent for all billed associate and partner

00:20:16.340 time from any of the following races and quote and of such amounts at least half will be from black

00:20:23.300 attorneys very very progressive as you can imagine if law firms didn't comply with their diversity

00:20:29.140 demands they would actually pay them less not sure how that's allowed now this combined with

00:20:34.340 a multi-year battle with the irs that could see a possible 12 billion dollar tax bill coke is

00:20:39.540 having their worst decline since 1940s yes not even post-world war ii sales can help them now

00:20:46.500 don't worry though gayden will still get 12 million dollars over the next year from his early

00:20:50.180 resignation but it may take a bit longer for coca-cola to get its reputation back well what a

00:20:55.780 wacky wacky world we live in a folks a few decades ago south africa was a pariah in the view of most

00:21:03.300 nations and justifiably so given its racial apartheid policy but these days the same people who lambasted 0.83

00:21:12.580 south africa as a racist regime now embrace their own sort of apartheid when it comes to

00:21:20.260 essentially showing favoritism to anyone who isn't white sorry that just does not compute

00:21:29.140 and if you need some evidence of that just check out the balance sheet of the coca-cola company

00:21:36.340 these days and joining me now with more on the latest installment of get woke go broke is andrew chapitos

00:21:45.060 so andrew i gotta tell you um i think if i'm a shareholder of uh the coca-cola company i am right now

00:21:52.420 now redder than a coke can the business of this company is to sell soda pop not to do some kind of

00:22:01.860 perverse racial engineering what do you make of this it's really weird and it looks like it's just

00:22:07.620 one of the diversity initiatives that really went wrong david so any law firm that coca-cola works

00:22:12.980 with has to have a 30 diversity quota which is this is what the lawyer wanted so any uh partner or any

00:22:19.300 lawyer they had to be part of a firm that had at least 30 percent all these different races whether

00:22:23.620 it was native even disabled lgbtq so any identity that they wanted had to be represented by 30 in

00:22:31.140 that company and if they didn't have that diversity quota david they would pay them less so i don't know

00:22:36.020 how that's allowed but they actually were demanding that these law firms adhere to their diversity

00:22:41.300 quotas if they wanted to work with them well i would suggest that's illegal you're being paid

00:22:45.620 less based on race i mean that used to happen in the bad old days you know when uh you would have

00:22:52.820 uh people from racialized communities uh not being paid the same as white people and we don't want to 0.99

00:23:00.260 go back to those days again but it looks like in the name of social justice andrew we are reverting back

00:23:06.420 it's almost as though this kind of race policy is for lack of a better uh term uh politically correct

00:23:15.540 apartheid well you'll see how much they regret it and how much money they've had to pay this man out 0.57

00:23:20.660 for resigning 12 million dollars in less than one year the rest of 2021 i imagine i'm not sure if it's

00:23:26.740 a fiscal year but they owe him 12 million dollars they're going to be paying him in one lump sum and a

00:23:30.660 bunch of further payments because he was also at the spearhead of the initiative to boycott georgia

00:23:37.220 boycott atlanta which of course resulted famously in the major league baseball all-star game being

00:23:42.500 moved from atlanta to colorado which is really weird because coca-cola is based out of atlanta

00:23:48.820 that's the head office yeah so they're literally driving business away and has to be thousands of

00:23:54.980 cans or bottles of coca-cola at this all-star game being purchased so they're driving business

00:23:59.780 away from their own city um to make a point that clearly didn't make any sense at all because if

00:24:05.300 you actually look into the voter id laws it's just providing id in order to vote they've extended hours

00:24:11.620 in some places they didn't want uh what's the word when you try to appeal to people at the voting booth

00:24:17.860 i don't remember the word but the democrats tried to twist this by saying they're banning people from

00:24:23.780 bringing water to people who are voting in line when the actual thing is you're not allowed to go and speak

00:24:29.220 and uh petition voters in a lineup by speaking to them and persuading them that sort of thing you

00:24:33.620 know and what you um described andrew in terms of major league baseball shows you the appalling

00:24:39.700 hypocrisy of the the woke movement which is to say if we had baseball going on right now at the sky

00:24:47.220 dome and i wanted to go to get uh watch a blue jays game and if i made a phone order to pick up the

00:24:53.300 tickets at the will call booth i can't just say hey i'm david menzies give me my tickets they go

00:24:59.220 can you give us some id exactly what uh they were talking about for georgia election so it's racist

00:25:06.900 to ask a person for id to vote in an election but it's not racist to ask them for their id to pick

00:25:14.820 up some lousy baseball tickets yeah and i think this one really backfired the whole initiative by

00:25:19.620 lebron james and these companies going against the georgia georgia voting laws because they were just

00:25:24.020 relying on people not looking into it at all yeah and i've seen countless videos now of people

00:25:28.900 asking left-leaning individuals black people democrat voters if they think it's racist and

00:25:33.620 they do not because people obviously understand you need id for everything else so this one has really

00:25:38.180 backfired and just like other companies we've covered before like red bull like goodyear tires

00:25:44.580 this initiative has really backfired the only company i think it's actually worked for is nike and

00:25:48.740 maybe that's just because of where their advertising lies even though there's the wild hypocrisy of

00:25:53.140 getting everything made in china uh most companies have had to backtrack on these stances as soon as

00:25:58.980 it gets exposed to the public what their stances are and their rules are for example good years was

00:26:03.220 you can't wear a mega hat there you can wear blm i i remember that commentary and again it's more

00:26:09.540 hypocrisy um if good yes a private company uh and you of course can have a dress code but if you're saying

00:26:17.860 uh no to a mega hat and yes to a blm t-shirt um that's inconsistent it should be while you're on

00:26:25.140 duty you cannot wear any kind of haberdashery that has a political statement but they didn't do that

00:26:30.980 they said some political statements are okay and some are not there is actually a tech company out

00:26:36.500 right now and glenn beck did a story on this which i saw recently so show to get glenn beck a tech company

00:26:42.740 put out a notice to their uh their employee base and said if you guys want to talk about politics

00:26:48.500 if you want to be political at work if you want us to take a political stance we're not going to do it

00:26:53.060 this is a tech company we're not taking political sides and this is how it's going to be and over a

00:26:58.260 hundred employees walked off their jobs they just left so that's an interesting way of how a company

00:27:03.700 can weed out the people who are going to be most angry isn't that yeah exactly so they kind of because

00:27:08.580 if you're just firing people for doing this stuff you could be subject to lawsuits you could be

00:27:12.580 subject to discrimination and people and bad pr of course but if you're just telling them we're not

00:27:17.380 gonna you know bend the knee to blm or or support biden or even support republicans and they just walk

00:27:23.780 out on their own then you pretty much get away with it i'm going to look into that story that is

00:27:27.620 fascinating uh last question andrew uh when it comes to corporations the bottom line is indeed the

00:27:35.060 bottom line which is you know their their balance sheet and i'm thinking that the unspoken strategy

00:27:42.900 against this wokeism that coca-cola embraced they thought this would get mass acceptance they thought

00:27:49.780 they would get a buy-in uh that sales of their soda would go up because that is their prime directive to

00:27:56.100 generate sales um it didn't happen that way um and i'm wondering if this is a cautionary tale

00:28:03.140 for other corporations that if you're going to do this wokeism uh to reach out uh to the insane

00:28:11.140 fringe out there that thinks that yeah this new age racism is a good idea maybe they're not going

00:28:17.780 to go this route given what happened to coca-cola yeah new age and groovy everybody there's a lot of

00:28:23.380 facets that went into this coca-cola decision they have a large lawsuit with the irs right now that

00:28:28.820 people are speculating they're going to lose which will cost them billions of dollars and on top of

00:28:32.420 that because of worldwide restrictions on shipping with covid their distribution of coca-cola products

00:28:38.100 is actually the lowest it's been since post-world war ii you know people came home from the great 1.00

00:28:42.660 war they wanted a cool glass of coca-cola but it hasn't been as good or it hasn't been as bad as

00:28:48.020 it's been since the 1940s so they've got all these things going on and when you add on this guy on top of

00:28:52.740 it it's promising probably that he's going to bring in these great initiatives are going to do so well for

00:28:57.060 them the ceos in on it he's making videos and blogs and it doesn't work it's probably not worth

00:29:02.180 it to keep going and to your point about uh choosing dollars or choosing ideology over the dollars

00:29:08.500 that's something i struggle with identifying david because a lot of these companies seem to be

00:29:12.980 exchanging a monetary value with with the seeking of power you take youtube for example who's

00:29:19.060 demonetizing us there's no doubt through advertising revenue with the cut that youtube takes from ads

00:29:24.740 that they have made probably tens of millions off of rebel news just through advertising over the

00:29:29.140 years judging by the view count they are choosing ideology because they think at the end of the day

00:29:34.820 it will wield the more power in the future they'll be able to have a greater say when it comes to the

00:29:39.140 government especially with the biden administration who's openly working with places like facebook

00:29:44.100 places like twitter on how to further censor people we're seeing it here with your best friend

00:29:48.340 stephen gilbo i have no doubt in my mind that he's working with facebook canada

00:29:53.780 and elections canada and youtube that's just my opinion and in the end they just think it'll get

00:29:59.460 them more power so they may take a 50 100 million dollar hit in one place but in the end the influence

00:30:05.060 and power they may have at the end of the day will be invaluable well there you go it was a great report

00:30:10.500 and you're not i gotta tell you folks i mean if you don't like something that's being inflicted on you

00:30:15.860 vote with your wallet coca-cola doesn't have a monopoly on uh soft drinks so go to another company or better

00:30:22.820 yet how about this don't drink that coca-cola i mean it is just sugary water it's one of the big

00:30:30.180 drivers as to why we have an obesity and a diabetes problem just drink some water instead right out of

00:30:36.660 the tap better for you and it's free right over the tap david menzies he's not a monster are you

00:30:42.580 keep it here for more rebel roundup right after this

00:30:55.620 attention please in accordance with the green 10 2020 adopted under the public health act you are

00:31:04.660 ordered as a participant in a demonstration to wear a face covering you are also ordered to keep at least

00:31:12.260 two minutes from each other refusing to obey either of these borders makes it violent into a fight

00:31:19.300 ranging from everyone

00:31:31.140 not enough freedom you know there's too many people that dying from not eating not drinking you know and

00:31:37.380 it's important to everyone to have to know that you can be all equal in this world humidity on a mask

00:31:44.740 under a mask is a breeding ground for bacterias okay so somebody cannot tell me that that's not true

00:31:51.060 this is what we have to do stop basing it on fear and and quick reaction and and basing it on science

00:31:56.740 that's what i'm asking

00:32:00.740 david menzies for rebel news here in montreal well folks it's just afternoon

00:32:05.060 and there is a huge anti-lockdown demonstration occurring here thousands of people are here

00:32:12.500 and you know talk about herd immunity uh there is a police presence but they are on the periphery

00:32:19.780 they are allowing all these citizens to exercise their right of assembly uh their freedom of speech

00:32:28.180 and that's not to say they're going to respect those rights because the day is young

00:32:33.060 so things might change but for now thousands are marching right past olympic stadium and um the

00:32:41.460 message is clear enough is enough they are tired of the lockdowns they are tired of businesses going

00:32:48.900 bankrupt they are tired of thousands and thousands of canadians losing their jobs the cure is worse than

00:32:56.740 the curse clearly and these quebecers are saying it's time for premier legault to change his tune 1.00

00:33:04.580 it's time for him to open up the province let's see what happens

00:33:15.860 that's one heck of a hat i gotta tell you it looks like a a ventilation pipe with a face mask on it 0.89

00:33:21.700 what what's the story it's all about bullshits for a year without bullshits so this is as good as a 0.56

00:33:26.420 curfew this is for a covet 19 and this is for the variant what kind of reaction are you getting to your

00:33:32.740 uh headwear sir people are happy they're just happy they understand about the bullshits of all this yeah

00:33:38.180 you see the people there at the commerce go go to the march and go do it backward go ask every commerce

00:33:45.540 every patriot here they stop at the commerce they buy beer they buy some snacks they buy some foods 0.99

00:33:51.860 we're here for liberty we're here for freedom we're here to leave our fucking quebecers right the one 0.96

00:33:57.460 thing now all of the our government wants to do is it to tax us taxes with climate change tax us with 0.98

00:34:03.620 everything but what is the deal of taxing people when people are here suffering people losing their job

00:34:11.700 put people putting in lockdown wow we need to step up we're all here to set up we're in the

00:34:17.460 fucking olympic stadium we are for freedom vive le quebec libre well what a magnificent event in 0.95

00:34:23.700 montreal last saturday in which an estimated 100 000 montrealers and others took to the streets to demand 0.99

00:34:31.860 that quebec premier francois legault open up the economy and jettison that silly curfew law and this

00:34:40.260 protest march was more than peaceful it was downright festive although you wouldn't know that

00:34:46.420 from the mainstream media coverage i know shockers in any event you had plenty to say about the montreal

00:34:54.340 mega march for freedom dennis young writes without people like rebel news the protests wouldn't be on

00:35:01.780 anyone's radar oh well i can tell you dennis there were indeed mainstream media types covering this event

00:35:07.940 and much of it was fake news in terms of downplaying the number of demonstrators

00:35:13.780 and falsifying the motives of these people for example check out the lead paragraph from the

00:35:20.020 montreal gazette quote what began as a generally peaceful protest against quebec's public health measures

00:35:27.460 near the olympic stadium on saturday ended with tear gas and arrests when a smaller crowd

00:35:34.020 began throwing rocks fireworks and smoke bombs at police officers montreal police said end quote

00:35:42.180 look me and my colleagues mocha and alex were there for the entire march and we were also there

00:35:48.340 for a few hours after the march concluded we witnessed none of those shenanigans so if this is indeed true

00:35:55.540 these incidents occurred several hours after the demonstrators had gone home and gee i wonder if the

00:36:03.620 people throwing those rocks and smoke bombs at police were part of another demonstration you see folks

00:36:10.580 last saturday was also may the first aka mayday and at jerry park anarchists and antifa types and marxists

00:36:19.780 gathered for an anti-capitalism rally they later went on a rampage smashing the windows of small 0.98

00:36:26.580 businesses because well these people are violent morons so maybe it was this crew that was responsible 0.99

00:36:36.100 for those violent shenanigans and of course the montreal gazette well they would never ever conflate 0.99

00:36:43.140 those two groups on purpose now would they freedom r writes we need masses like this in toronto remember

00:36:51.220 when the toronto raptors won the championship and the amount of people who were downtown we need

00:36:57.700 that kind of crowd to make a change well freedom r i would love to see that kind of demonstration in

00:37:03.620 hogtown too there were more than a million people in downtown toronto that day back in 2019 that you

00:37:10.180 refer to and look i'm happy for the raptors and their fans but you know i think fighting for our

00:37:17.140 cherished freedoms is far more important than celebrating an nba championship shane wolsey writes

00:37:26.260 i'm an old albertan and i never would have thought i would say viva la quebec libra in my lifetime and mean

00:37:33.780 it hey shane by sheer numbers quebec is leading the way in terms of fighting it back against

00:37:39.780 outrageous restrictions on our rights and freedom so yeah viva la quebec libra indeed

00:37:47.860 robert cleary writes listen to your local police and emergency scanners on a friday and saturday in

00:37:54.340 my area up in simcoe ontario there were many attempted suicides domestic disputes kids and parents having

00:38:02.980 arguments people being taken to hospital not for the virus but for panic attack panic attacks and suicide

00:38:11.380 attempts well how dreadfully sad robert and yet more proof than the proverbial pudding that the so-called

00:38:19.860 cure for this virus is far far worse than the curse and the megalenium writes i will never make fun of

00:38:28.900 french canadians ever again i'm sorry mates you have my respect hey my friend now why would you ever

00:38:36.340 make fun of french canadians in the first place i thought we're supposed to make fun of newfoundlanders
