00:00:49.080 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

00:00:51.500 You have tuned into the Rebel News live stream on this, a Monday, October 19th, 2026, coming to you from Rebel News headquarters somewhere in Toronto.

00:01:04.380 I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, before I introduce her, folks, do you know that today is National Kentucky Day?

00:01:13.060 and my co-host because she lives in the free state of alberta she can celebrate national

00:01:21.560 kentucky day with a shot of fine kentucky bourbon alas i cannot because ontario premier 0.99

00:01:30.280 doug ford forbids it shame on him in any event she is the she devil with a sword she is the 0.59

00:01:38.080 Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is the sensational Sheila Gunn-Reed. How you doing

00:01:44.620 there, Sheila? It's a slow news day, I understand. Oh, nothing to talk about, nothing ever to talk

00:01:50.680 about. I wake up in the morning, I'm like, well, what kind of journalism can I do today in such

00:01:55.460 a slow news day? No, it's just a packed pierogi of a day. As always, I worked all weekend on

00:02:03.380 news. And for the last, I don't know, five months, we're in the homestretch of a marathon that has

00:02:12.240 felt like a sprint the entire time. It's referendum day in Alberta. Many of you know that I

00:02:17.160 had my own third-party advertiser, Alberta's Choice. So every spare minute of my life was

00:02:23.280 spent working on that. I already work more than full-time here and it was just signs and events

00:02:29.440 and journalism the whole time and today Albertans will have their say in whatever happens today

00:02:35.600 they can no longer enjoy or ignore the movement and write off approximately if you believe the

00:02:42.860 polls one in three Albertans as just mindless conspiracy addled cranks that's more people than

00:02:50.900 voted for the liberals in the last election in this province uh supporting a movement for

00:02:56.240 independence and as i said whatever happens today it's not going away at all well you know let's get 0.91

00:03:02.040 right into the meat of the matter i mean there are two alberta stories sheila dominating the

00:03:07.600 national news of course the uh separation vote uh that the polls just opened in alberta uh about an

00:03:15.660 hour ago and that horrific tragedy in wainwright i understand um you drove up to the um canadian

00:03:24.400 armed forces base there and you can give us a bit of an update and your thoughts on it but let's

00:03:29.080 let's go first to the um separation uh debate uh we have a video here of premier daniel smith

00:03:37.640 um i guess making her last pitch to those who are undecided

00:03:43.060 oh oh maybe not a second i apologize folks we have been played with gremlins

00:03:51.080 Oh, that's why we're late today. We have nothing but technical gremlins running through our TriCaster system lately. I should tell everybody, we announced it last week. I have a Stop the Cheaters campaign. You can find it at StopTheCheaters.com.

00:04:09.300 And there you can see all of our evidence, our legal compendium for the evidence against the largest Federalist campaign, which is forever Canadian run by former Alison Redford's deputy premier under the old crooked corrupt PCs, Thomas Lukaszek.

00:04:30.100 We had over 200 pages of evidence against him in our complaint, nearly a 300-page sworn affidavit.

00:04:38.180 We wanted Elections Alberta to investigate and tell us they were investigating.

00:04:43.120 And if they weren't investigating, tell us why not.

00:04:45.760 We started that process back in July.

00:04:50.840 We had a court hearing a few weeks ago where we tried to get it in front of the associate chief justice of the court.

00:04:57.700 they argued that it didn't you know like it will make a difference to the referendum whether you

00:05:04.780 people know this or not the chief justice said you know there's no possible way that we can hear

00:05:10.240 this before referendum day then a couple of weeks ago we discovered that Lukasik's little campaign

00:05:18.240 which for over a dozen weeks declared no income and no spending which is you have to do that every

00:05:27.060 week as a third-party advertiser, and he is a registered third-party advertiser, who was running,

00:05:32.960 I suspect, a multi-million dollar campaign, two campaign offices, sign campaigns. They've been in

00:05:37.800 the same parking lot as me giving out signs at the same time as me, except I have to register and

00:05:42.560 submit my expenses, and they don't. Just last week, after advance voting had started,

00:05:49.420 um it became clear that um thanks to our complaint they are under an investigation

00:05:58.600 and they made that clear now you won't hear about that in the mainstream media they are the only

00:06:04.080 third-party advertiser that is under investigation they are the only third-party advertiser that is

00:06:09.800 under a compliance agreement and you only end up under a compliance agreement if you were not

00:06:13.900 complying with the rules. And so if you want to read all of our evidence and help offset our legal

00:06:21.220 costs, because we had some of the best lawyers, I think, in the country working hard on this

00:06:25.260 to ensure fairness in the referendum, you can see that at stopthecheaters.com. But we did our best

00:06:31.200 to stop the cheaters. But Thomas Lukasik, you are a cheater. And the fact that you are under 0.99

00:06:35.480 a compliance agreement is proof enough for me. And Sheila, this is a major victory for you

00:06:41.000 and for us and let's face it if we didn't initiate this who would anyone in the mainstream media

00:06:49.820 not a chance no and this is not to slag on my friends who also have their own third party

00:06:57.560 advertisers like keith wilson like cory morgan um but this is rebel news my friends we're made

00:07:04.560 for fighting. We're made for taking the government to court and winning. And we did. Now, I'm

00:07:11.080 disappointed that it is late in the game. We tried to get them to act fast. We really did.

00:07:19.420 Once we saw that Elections Alberta was not going to do anything, we started the legal process.

00:07:25.420 We just couldn't make it happen any faster. But we really tried to express the urgency of this

00:07:31.040 matter to the court. It just wasn't, I guess, something that the court saw fit to deal with,

00:07:39.680 but we do know that they did break the rules. Now, will there be consequences?

00:07:45.540 They got a compliance agreement, which is basically a plea deal. You run over someone

00:07:50.580 with your car and you plead down to a parking ticket. That's basically what they got. But I'm

00:07:54.520 not going to stop pushing until I see Lou Kazek and his Forever Canadian group hit with massive

00:08:01.840 fines. Because what they did all along was flout the rules in everybody's faces. They said, oh,

00:08:09.560 we can take money from anywhere. Oh, we are not declaring our expenses. They had a cross-province

00:08:15.220 bus tour, tens of thousands of signs, two campaign offices, paid communications to people.

00:08:21.720 Well, I'm a volunteer at my own TPA.

00:08:25.180 And the amount of money that he was bringing in and spending,

00:08:30.340 if Keith Wilson had done this,

00:08:32.220 you bet your ass Keith Wilson would have got $100,000 worth of fines. 0.95

00:08:36.260 Wow. 0.99

00:08:36.960 Well, I mean, at least you got a result.

00:08:41.080 I can tell you, Sheila, as you know,

00:08:43.260 we have caught sneaky Patrick Brown of Brampton breaking the rules,

00:08:47.500 i.e. donations in kind when he is running his various campaigns and when i reach out to elections

00:08:55.220 canada elections ontario it's almost as though they acknowledge yeah you caught him red-handed

00:09:00.380 but um what do you want us to do about it oh i don't know your job as the referee so um at least

00:09:09.100 in alberta you got some serious attention and a victory so good for you well a small victory i

00:09:17.320 I mean, it would have been nice to have this considered at least before advanced voting.

00:09:23.840 But you won't hear about this in the mainstream media because he's the mainstream media's

00:09:28.240 favorite person to interview on the referendum and his wife works in the mainstream media.

00:09:33.700 So and his communications girl, Serena Ma, I think she used to work at CTV Edmonton.

00:09:40.000 So just fingers in the pie all over the place.

00:09:43.020 But you won't hear about it on the CBC that, oh, by the way, you were caught breaking the rules.

00:09:48.440 You entered into a compliance agreement.

00:09:50.280 You'll never hear that before they trot him out to tell us how great Canada is.

00:09:55.120 You know, Sheila, and this might be part of the answer.

00:09:58.600 Here's a hypothetical question for you, and it wouldn't happen until years down the road.

00:10:03.180 but if alberta separation were successful when it comes to the mainstream media in the republic of

00:10:13.040 alberta no longer associated with canada do the carny liberals whoever the prime minister is at

00:10:19.620 that time do they still fund the alberta mainstream media or is it hey thanks for your service bye

00:10:26.940 in a free and independent alberto we should make it illegal to have uh government funded

00:10:35.340 media hacks working here you know i don't know cbc would i guess it would be a cbc foreign bureau

00:10:43.300 working in edmonton which it feels like if you watch their reporting it's like have you

00:10:49.360 people met in alberton before they treat us like where the grill is at the zoo when they talk to

00:10:55.300 people from the independence campaign you know like oh they vaguely look like us their bodies

00:11:00.720 resemble us but they're so hairy and primitive that they're in the uncanny valley between human

00:11:07.400 and animal that's if you watch the cbc try to relate to a separatist that's what you get

00:11:12.920 i think we have that uh clip of oh fantastic premier smith queued up um because it's not just

00:11:19.440 option two um on the ballot today so that's the referendum campaign the referendum on a referendum

00:11:26.100 um one is uh we want to remain part of canada and option two is we should start the process of a

00:11:33.380 referendum on leaving so uh option two is how uh i voted this morning at brookville hall um but we

00:11:42.000 also have nine more questions and they deal with our relationship with the federal government

00:11:46.700 They're largely on immigration and the Senate. And those were put forward by Premier Smith and her UCP government. Now, it's not necessary to do these things. You could just do them, right? Like you could just say, yeah, you need to be a permanent resident or a citizen of this country to access our health care or our education system.

00:12:13.220 You could just do that because it's the right thing to do.

00:12:15.200 I don't know why they put them on the referendum, I suppose, to take the wind out of the sails of the last question, question 10.

00:12:23.480 But anyways, Premier Smith makes her final pitch.

00:12:29.060 The real politics happens here on the ground.

00:12:31.320 And that's why what you're doing today matters so much to us.

00:12:34.480 And we couldn't do it without you.

00:12:35.580 I want you to feel really optimistic as you go through the doors because we do have a

00:12:43.260 good story to tell.

00:12:48.500 One of the things you should feel confident about is how good things are in Alberta now

00:12:53.100 after two consecutive terms of the U.C.P. government.

00:12:55.660 We are leading the nation in investment.

00:12:57.860 We are leading the nation in job creation.

00:13:00.180 We're setting record after record.

00:13:02.340 80% of all the jobs created in the last year are created right here in Alberta.

00:13:09.340 When I look right now where Alberta is, where Canada is, we really are on a roll and we want to keep it continuing.

00:13:17.340 I mean no one has traditionally asked questions of this importance to citizens before in such a direct way

00:13:22.340 and so I think people, when they take part in the process, are really honoured that we want their opinion and we really do.

00:13:28.340 We are of course wanting them to vote for option one which is to vote to remain in Canada and we

00:13:33.380 are also asking them to vote yes to the rest because we believe that that is the way for us

00:13:37.940 to secure greater autonomy for Alberta within a united Canada. What really matters is if people

00:13:44.740 getting to the poll to register that vote on election day. Now finally for the first time

00:13:49.620 in a long time we have Canada recognizing how important Alberta is as an engine of the economy

00:13:55.380 And I think with that, with finally Canada and Alberta moving together, moving in the right direction, that is going to make sure that not only Alberta, but Canada remain forever strong and free.

00:14:07.520 Okay, that's all well and good, but all those things she talked about, how great it is in Alberta right now, and it's true, job creation, investment, that's in spite of the federal government, not because of the federal government.

00:14:20.160 the ucp should be taking a victory lap around the federal government on this and not giving some of

00:14:26.940 the credit to the federal government on this you know it feels like she's giving credit to the

00:14:32.840 carny liberals for how hard the ucp have worked to get things done around the liberal government

00:14:39.520 the fact that we are leading in job creation leading an investment things are better here

00:14:44.460 than they are everywhere else that's because of the ucp's hard work and i it could be so much

00:14:51.820 better without the anchor of canada around our leg well shayla i i can only speak personally

00:14:58.160 on this file and that is to say uh i lived in alberta for two years 1985 and 1986 i loved

00:15:06.800 alberta i loved the can-do spirit of the people i loved the landscape didn't really love the

00:15:13.460 weather and i say that because it was the first time i experienced before halloween snow on my

00:15:18.500 jack-o'-lantern but anyway uh you got to take the good with the bad here's the thing sheila and by

00:15:24.960 the way if anyone in the comment section wants to change my opinion on this i would say if i was

00:15:32.240 still in alberta i'm telling you i'm voting for separation i don't know what the case for canada

00:15:39.660 is this is a province with trillions of dollars of economic wealth landlocked this is a province

00:15:48.280 that in the last decade and a bit every time there's a federal election by the time they

00:15:53.540 count the ballots at the Ontario Manitoba border uh it you know it's already a done deal the

00:15:59.160 liberals are coming back uh with their policies their anti-development policies yeah I know

00:16:04.340 there's memorandums of understanding when I see the shovels in the ground and the pipelines being

00:16:09.160 laid, then I'll believe it. So Sheila, as someone who has spent almost his life, his whole life in

00:16:16.320 Toronto area, if I were in Alberta, I would definitely vote separation. And I know you'll

00:16:23.220 have those that'll say, oh, you traitor, you modern day maple leaf version of Benedict Arnold.

00:16:29.900 Well, no, I, you know, I want to be in a place that succeeds. And I see the federal government

00:16:37.420 being detrimental to that I only see upside in a separate nation of Alberta Sheila what would be

00:16:47.620 the downside tell me I have yet to have anybody fully explain it to me like you get a lot of

00:16:54.080 nostalgia people fought and died for Canada yep that is true but that version of Canada doesn't

00:17:00.840 exist anymore when I think about western independence I think of it as an act of survival

00:17:05.660 not just for my province and our people and our culture, but an act of preservation of those

00:17:13.600 values that people are nostalgic for about a Canada that doesn't exist. Because I believe

00:17:19.380 those values, many of them are still alive and well here in Alberta. They are dead in other

00:17:25.780 parts of this country. It makes me sad. I wish it weren't that way. I was at the massive

00:17:32.800 independence rally at the Alberta legislature over the weekend. I'm going to see if I can find

00:17:37.060 a clip because I ran into Shane Nettowin. For those of you who don't know who Shane Nettowin

00:17:44.380 is, he was all but abandoned by our military after he experienced catastrophic neurological

00:17:54.660 injury. He was a door kicker with, I think it was JTF2. And I asked him, my video will be up

00:18:04.840 later on today, but I want to show you his Veterans Affairs testimony from not too long ago.

00:18:11.960 Because when I saw Shane at the legislature, I was like, oh, hey, Shane, I want to talk to you

00:18:18.200 about how it feels to be called a traitor. After you were catastrophically injured serving this

00:18:24.140 country you were willing to live and die for um and so you'll see his comments in my video later

00:18:29.640 but um you know when people call western independence-minded people traitors this is

00:18:36.880 who you're talking about too you know when jason kenney says people fought and died for this

00:18:41.220 country well these are the people these are the very people who are doing everything they can to

00:18:46.000 hang on to what is left of this country and they don't see it being able to be saved anywhere else

00:18:51.840 I just want to show you Shane Nedowin's testimony from the House of Commons.

00:18:55.400 This is probably a year ago, but it was a real treat to see Shane at the independence rally because this is the face of Jason Kenney's traitors.

00:19:06.280 One of the things we keep hearing about is this term moral injury.

00:19:10.860 And that that's one of these cases where it can either be a very large, like 30,000 foot problem, or it can be like right in somebody's individual life.

00:19:19.940 did we do the right thing are we part of the the good guys these kinds of questions um and

00:19:26.860 we we i hear often people say they don't recognize canada anymore is that do you think that that's

00:19:33.820 part of the moral injury like people left went to fight for for for a country and come back and

00:19:38.800 don't recognize the country they return to well since you asked the question it's not going to

00:19:43.960 be a popular opinion but i don't believe in canada anywhere yeah i'm an alberton and i want to leave

00:19:50.440 you and you would say that you've you fought for something i loved canada

00:19:55.740 i i believed in canada until a point this and again i know it's not gonna be popular with

00:20:04.060 i don't know this side of the table i guess but um the last decade has no that's not what i

00:20:12.120 fought for the country i'm watching and this is my personal opinion and but it is i've heard this

00:20:18.700 reflected from a lot of my fellow vets that they don't recognize like let's take afghanistan for

00:20:24.920 example the canada we knew and we went to go well we believed what we were fighting i believed in

00:20:30.080 what we were fighting for in afghanistan and uh we just i mean we watched it retaken by the taliban

00:20:37.200 and go right back to the way it was.

00:20:40.700 And then I come back here and, you know,

00:20:43.640 our government's ashamed to even put up a war memorial for Afghan vets.

00:20:48.540 You know, they try to tuck it away and hide it behind the NDHQ,

00:20:51.780 not invite anybody to go to it.

00:20:54.020 And then, like, that's an absolute disgrace.

00:20:56.600 And we continue.

00:20:57.220 And it's not just vets.

00:20:58.320 It's just a lot of other things.

00:20:59.280 But, yeah, that's where I'm at.

00:21:01.260 Thank you very much, sir.

00:21:04.320 So, Jason Kenney and the Federalist, is that man a traitor?

00:21:07.200 to Canada because he will vote option two today.

00:21:11.040 Good for Shane Nettohen, Sheila, for calling it as he sees it.

00:21:15.620 And for those people channeling Remembrance Day

00:21:19.000 and the sacrifice of our veterans, World War I, World War II,

00:21:22.760 all the armed conflicts that came afterwards,

00:21:25.380 how dare they?

00:21:26.440 How dare they assume those who died in the battlefield

00:21:30.640 would not support an independent Alberta

00:21:35.000 given what's happened to our nation and very recently too i would argue um you know the

00:21:41.820 afghanistan conflict goes back just 20 years ago or so uh sheila i would say what they fought for

00:21:48.820 was the free dominion of canada we had rights and liberties that apparently we've taken for granted

00:21:55.960 because right now this country is being run by censorious thugs that's what they are and i

00:22:03.160 understand when shane says veterans don't recognize the the country they fought for he's bang on and

00:22:10.400 so again to your point does that make this veteran a traitor give me a break i guess to jason kenny

00:22:18.980 it does jason kenny our former premier who has run out on a rail because he forgot about civil

00:22:24.000 liberties mr um uh basically the cornerstone of stephen harper's foreign policy on religious

00:22:34.180 freedom the office of religious freedom guy the guy who when he was in china sort of went off

00:22:39.820 script and then started talking to uh religious minorities there i don't think he can go back to 0.69

00:22:47.060 china after he did that advocating for christians and uyghurs there when it came time to stand up

00:22:53.960 for religious freedom here, he arrested our pastors during COVID. Tim Stevens and Pastor Art

00:23:01.700 and locking down Grace Life Church, arresting the pastor there, the associate pastor there,

00:23:08.700 what a brave man. He continued to do services knowing that he could be arrested

00:23:12.660 as well. And that congregation just refused to stop meeting despite threats from Jason Kenney.

00:23:23.800 That's who Jason Kenney is.

00:23:25.380 And yet now he stands on patriotism.

00:23:28.400 We've got this video from Scott Robertson,

00:23:30.700 who I believe is just an AI creation and not really a real person.

00:23:34.620 But anyway, Jason Kenney,

00:23:37.920 I ask people as they're considering voting

00:23:40.420 to put their minds toward November 11th.

00:23:43.700 Give me a break.

00:23:46.020 I'd love for him to have a chat with Shane.

00:23:49.700 Why is the United Front important to you on this?

00:23:53.160 Because a country matters more than party, patriotism comes before partisanship.

00:23:59.480 I ask people as they're considering voting, put their minds forward to November the 11th.

00:24:04.920 The mental space, they're at Allegiant Hall, they're at the field of crosses,

00:24:08.600 they're contemplating the sacrifices of Albertans who lie below gravestones with the maple leaf on

00:24:14.120 them. We do not have the right to rupture what they built and what they sacrificed for.

00:24:18.840 why is he united um except politicians like you pissed away their sacrifice

00:24:24.620 but sheila what the veterans fought for was freedom of choice right self-will determination

00:24:35.200 right you know not to march in lockstep with mandates coming out of ottawa right and as i said

00:24:44.540 the Canada that everybody is nostalgic for that they they try to invoke this nostalgia about

00:24:51.060 it's not there anymore uh we have somebody on our team here who you know when he talks to

00:24:56.980 federalists and he's like oh what is it about Canada that you like so much that you don't want

00:25:01.140 to leave and they're like oh wide open spaces and you know self-determination and the ability to

00:25:06.520 build your life however you want it and he always stops them and says that's the stuff you like

00:25:12.240 about Alberta you can't do those things everywhere else people are nostalgic for a Canada that only

00:25:18.420 lives in Alberta and I'm sorry but we need to build a force field around it great point by the way

00:25:24.760 Sheila you did vote Brighton early this morning you told me off camera there was at least 40 people

00:25:29.200 in line what was the vibe you were getting uh when you were going up to the ballot box I'm rural I

00:25:36.100 vote in one of the most rural locations you can find like a small community hall that's like 90

00:25:42.020 years old um so you know people are there and their alberta flags and i'm there in my republic

00:25:48.100 of alberta hoodie um i it was if i had to guess strongly separatist um but i think it's a different

00:25:57.300 vibe in the cities because uh that sense of can do and self-reliance that you talked about it's

00:26:05.220 not as strong there and as much as we want to think that albert is okay largely and we are

00:26:13.060 um we also have and you know the same influx of people from outside of the country over the last

00:26:20.100 11 years that many of the other parts of this country have and they don't they don't have that

00:26:24.900 same sense of community um and shared values uh that the rest of us have well i would argue sheila

00:26:33.460 the cities you would have people who are federal government employees so you know how they and

00:26:38.340 their families and friends are going to vote and isn't it odd you know if this is the canada uh

00:26:46.420 jason kenny is speaking of preserving we have come across stories haven't we where people

00:26:52.420 draped in the alberta flag in alberta have been assaulted right um is this what we're endorsing

00:27:02.820 in terms of a united canada because that seems dictatorial to me that seems like fascism to be

00:27:12.020 met with violence for displaying the province's flag yeah yeah and that's the thing again during

00:27:19.380 the convoy uh everybody had this overwhelming sense of patriotism and they waved the canadian

00:27:25.860 flag and then they told us that we were extremists for doing that we weren't allowed to use their

00:27:29.780 flag and then so we said fine we won't we'll use ours we get it you don't like us because we vote

00:27:36.140 differently and we believe in civil liberties we start flying our own flag and then they tell us

00:27:40.460 we're extremists again like what there's just no pleasing these people i had actually a little

00:27:45.120 run-in with some guy at the uh rally of course they had their obligatory um handmaid's tale

00:27:51.080 lady in the outfit the larpers um those ladies on the left need to get a new book

00:27:57.520 like this they think everything is from the handmaid's tale um but there was one guy there

00:28:02.940 who was like f you rebel news i just turned the camera to him and he's like i don't want to talk

00:28:07.760 i don't want to talk but you know what you said i mean the idea of um the freedom convoy going

00:28:16.580 back more than four years ago i can't believe it's been that long time flies but the idea about

00:28:22.540 them being extremists and all you saw was a sea of canadian flags uh it was unfashionable uh back

00:28:31.800 then but when trump 2.0 came in uh it suddenly became very fashionable but those are the

00:28:39.840 extremists and what have we seen in the last three years in so many major cities in our country

00:28:44.880 Sheila, the so-called Palestinian flag on display and chants for genocide and the display of

00:28:52.300 swastikas and cosplaying as terrorists and brandishing fake hand grenades. At least I hope 1.00

00:28:59.140 they're fake. One never knows and the cops aren't going to do anything. And what do we do? Oh, you

00:29:05.700 know, diversity, equity, inclusion. And by the way, on cold days, you'll have the Toronto Police

00:29:12.240 service uh deliver timbits and coffee to the to the thugs so uh again that goes into the department

00:29:19.580 of i don't recognize my country anymore sheila yeah no that's it i mean we were accused of being

00:29:27.900 overly patriotic now we're underly patriotic there's no pleasing these mad men um we should

00:29:33.360 hit an ad break because i did go up to wainwright over the weekend uh there wasn't a lot that i

00:29:38.640 could report on while I was there, but I could show some of you what I could see from where I

00:29:44.700 was and also some awful behavior of the mainstream media. So let's hit an ad break. We'll come back

00:29:50.720 on the other side. Yeah. For generations, many Canadians have preserved more than just firearms.

00:29:57.560 They've preserved history, tradition, competition, memories. But under Trudeau, and now Kearney,

00:30:06.000 Heirlooms, estates, collectibles and competition firearms now have to be surrendered and destroyed.

00:30:16.000 While violent gun criminals get pass after pass, openly ignoring any legislation,

00:30:23.000 lawful gun owners are trapped in an increasingly unfair legal system.

00:30:28.000 But we can help.

00:30:30.000 Canada's National Firearms Association's Save Firearms program offers the legal pathway to preserve what matters, while we work towards a political solution.

00:30:41.620 Don't let yours be next.

00:30:43.760 Save history. Save heritage. Save firearms.

00:32:19.340 All right, we've got an ad read from our friends at Keat.

00:32:24.540 Encryption matters, but encryption and architecture are not the same thing.

00:32:27.820 Many messaging apps encrypt your conversations while routing them through

00:32:31.700 company-operated infrastructure that creates an intermediary and a central system that users are

00:32:37.420 required to trust. Keet removes the central message infrastructure. It's free end-to-end

00:32:43.340 encrypted messenger built on peer-to-peer technology. You can send messages and files

00:32:48.180 and make audio or video calls without a company server holding your conversation history. Keet

00:32:53.020 doesn't require a phone number or email and it doesn't collect your metadata. That is the

00:32:57.860 difference. Not another promise that a central platform will behave responsibly, but a system

00:33:03.040 designed to know as little about you as possible. I love that. Search Keet, K-E-E-T in the App Store

00:33:31.600 family okay that's cool all right well sheila you know as we said in the preamble the other huge

00:33:38.300 news uh out of alberta that's receiving national even international attention is the horror that

00:33:44.700 happened at wainwright um i gotta be honest sheila when i first heard a canadian armed forces base

00:33:51.800 four dead many others seriously injured because it's 2026 you automatically think terrorism but

00:34:00.080 as more and more comes out about this story this was a natural disaster yeah and absolutely uncanny

00:34:08.200 and since you paid a visit there Sheila I'll let you uh lead with this story I to me this is just

00:34:16.320 incredulous that a small grass fire that was essentially ignored became a harboringer of doom

00:34:24.300 for so many out there doing armed exercises. Sheila, as far as you know, right now,

00:34:33.060 what do we know about what happened a couple of days ago in Wainwright?

00:34:40.160 So I've got some other footage. I went up to where I could see where the fires started. And

00:34:46.000 at the time, lots of speculation about how and why it started. I don't think they've said how

00:34:52.980 the grass fire started. So this is, I want to tell you, CFB Wainwright, there's so much oil and gas

00:35:00.480 infrastructure out there. And what you see that's dark there, that's all burned. So grass fire

00:35:07.900 started. I'm not clear quite how that started, but there were troops out there on a training

00:35:13.040 exercise using live fire ammunition um and a large detail of troops out there

00:35:19.280 at the very same time and i cannot stress how bad this windstorm was and it came out of nowhere

00:35:27.040 perfectly calm day to like so i'm standing there this is the edge of the base that's all wildfire

00:35:35.840 and that happened in an afternoon and uh it the fire was moving what did they say 30 to 60

00:35:44.860 kilometers a minute wow sounded like it was moving that fast um the windstorm was

00:35:51.620 what is happening are you guys getting an emergency alert in toronto i think we're

00:35:58.520 getting an amber alert or either you are it's not me it's you guys

00:36:04.720 it was you guys i hope everything's okay um but we had a windstorm blow in out of nowhere and this

00:36:15.660 windstorm was so bad it caused semis to get knocked over on the highway and it caused a

00:36:21.560 traffic jam that delayed the start of the rally by, uh, an hour on Saturday. So the fire started

00:36:29.540 that, uh, they were monitoring the fire at two o'clock in the afternoon, but then that windstorm

00:36:34.740 start came up and it just created a wall of fire that overwhelmed some troops that were out there

00:36:41.560 on a training exercise. Initial reports said 10 dead. Uh, then that came down to seven and now

00:36:48.840 it's four. I think 39 are still in the hospital. 19. We got to wrap up. We have to wrap up. It

00:36:56.940 sounds like there's an emergency alert, I think, happening in the office. I'm very sorry. We've

00:37:03.220 got to cut the show short. If you want to hear more from me, I will be on the Sean Newman podcast

00:37:08.120 in about 40 minutes. Do stay tuned. Later on tonight, we are hosting a live stream for the

00:37:13.900 referendum results. It'll be myself, Ezra, Lise Merle, and a whole slate of guests, including

00:37:19.080 my colleague from my Alberta Fact Jack project. I believe that starts at 745 Mountain. Polls

00:37:29.160 close at eight out here. I think that's it. We don't have any chats. If you do, if we did miss

00:37:34.400 them, I'm very sorry. I've got a report from Wainwright coming up. Not a lot that I could

00:37:40.860 tell you, but I could show you a few things. So that's it. Let's wrap the show. Hopefully I'll

00:37:45.820 see you guys later on tonight. It's a long day here at Rebel News. And if you don't want to

00:37:50.920 watch the referendum results, I'll see you tomorrow back here. And if you find us offensive,

00:37:55.100 maybe don't find us at all. This podcast is brought to you by Rebel News. That's right.

00:38:01.400 So if you want to support us, why not do it in a win-win fashion by shopping for yourself? One

00:38:07.480 of my favorite things to do, head to revelnewsstore.com to pick the patriotic gear that pleases your heart.
