hey shia oh oh hey how's it going i was uh sort of taken away by that new like
00:00:21.520
trucker commission graphic that we had there i i don't know if it was there yesterday because
00:00:26.060
i was busy yesterday with our uh movie premiere but i hadn't seen that before but it's cute good
00:00:30.720
job guys um i'm sheila gunreed i'm sheila gunreed that's my co-host uh william diaz and we are here
00:00:39.240
to bring you the daily live stream recap of the comings and goings of what we call the trucker
00:00:44.140
commission that's the public order emergencies commission wherein an allegedly independent
00:00:50.060
body and so far so good is investigating justin trudeau's invocation of a never before used
00:00:55.840
anti-terrorism law it's a rewrite of the war measures act and he invoked it on peaceful
00:01:02.120
anti-covid mandate anti-discrimination really protesters in the nation's capital who
00:01:09.440
did the horrifying thing of well first of all having the wrong protest
00:01:14.160
they had the wrong opinions and then they uh had hot tubs but eva chipiak the lawyer for the
00:01:20.820
convoy says i never saw any hot tubs um which is too bad let me just introduce you right here
00:01:26.980
eva is going to be joining us in a few if you minutes i just saw her entering our our little
00:01:32.640
studio here in ottawa so she'll be able to join us so shortly oh great she's so fun and she has
00:01:38.140
such an interesting take a lawyer's take on it but a common sense lawyer because sometimes lawyers
00:01:43.340
can get kind of nerdy and heady um but she's not she sees right through it which makes her the
00:01:47.720
perfect convoy lawyer by the way um very interesting day uh the last witness of the day just wrapped up
00:01:55.320
superintendent his first name escapes me abrams um and for the opp and he testified to just the chaos
00:02:05.440
and disarray coming out of the ops and as i said to ezra it's like that spider-man meme where they're
00:02:13.140
all just stand like multiple spider-mans pointing at each other blaming each other that's all i see
00:02:17.940
with uh the levels of government who are just blaming everybody else um and this last superintendent
00:02:26.820
i think eva will be um good to talk to you about this he said that there was a plan hatched very early
00:02:35.260
in february by chief slowly of the ops and he wanted the opp to participate in this of what
00:02:44.540
abrams described as snatch and grabs they were going to target convoy organizers and influencers
00:02:55.340
whatever that means just high level participants people with large social media followings that's a
00:03:00.460
crime now um snatch and grab them arrest them and he said in no way is the opp police liaison team
00:03:08.320
participating in this whatsoever he was going to wait until he got some legal advice on this because
00:03:14.880
he didn't want to open up the opp to any criminal or civil liability and he especially said i don't want
00:03:20.580
my people participating in illegal arrests which is what he thought it would be at the time right
00:03:26.580
yeah and it became legal due to justin trudeau's measures and the measures installed by the police
00:03:32.640
yeah yeah he actually said he was proud of the what he left on the note saying i'm proud of the work the
00:03:39.460
opp did to get everybody into the city safely probably much to the chagrin of the ops but he said you know
00:03:48.480
that there was no criminality getting him into the city they did their best to keep a lane of traffic
00:03:53.200
open getting them into the city yeah and they didn't damage the highway and he said there were
00:04:00.260
some people who were maybe standing a little too close to the highway as big trucks were coming by
00:04:03.720
but that's not on the convoy that's on the people who did that you know like how could you expect the
00:04:07.840
convoy to control that but he said there was no criminality and again that seems to be the thing
00:04:12.000
we continually hear there was no criminality no guns no violence no anything and the mass arrests
00:04:19.560
happened after the invocation of the act yeah 100 the only violence we saw was on black and white
00:04:27.080
pages from mainstream media mainstream media newspaper yeah by the way i see i see eva preparing in the
00:04:33.240
back so i guess we could throw to a quick ad and we'll be able to welcome her on our set before we
00:04:37.360
before we go to the ad i should uh do a little housekeeping so for those of you who normally expect a
00:04:43.580
noon or 10 a.m uh out here in alberta live stream we've shuffled our live stream to the end of the
00:04:49.180
day at that news live stream we normally talk about the news of the day sometimes quirky sometimes
00:04:54.120
important in an unscripted way and that's fun it gets you know it's good for us to interact with each
00:05:00.180
other because we work remotely but also with our people but i think there's no more important news
00:05:05.480
in the country right now than what's happening in ottawa at this commission and so we've shifted our
00:05:13.100
live stream to uh 4 p.m alberta time 6 p.m uh eastern time over there in the center of the universe
00:05:20.480
um where we spend an hour digesting sometimes eight sometimes 10 hours of testimony uh we sit there and
00:05:29.100
watch it i i sit here and watch it you should see what my desk looks like like like i need a trucker to
00:05:35.020
come in here and organize my desk the way they organize the streets of ottawa it's a nightmare
00:05:39.580
yeah but i'm gonna need a convoy block captain to come in here and zhuzh everything up i'm sure
00:05:46.100
i'm sure it's better organized than the ottawa police services
00:05:49.240
yes okay but if people want to uh get involved uh have their say might i suggest something uh what we
00:06:01.560
call a paid chat um on rumble it's called a rumble rant on odyssey it's called a hyper chat youtube
00:06:07.720
won't let you leave us a paid chat because they're a censorship platform but there's i don't know
00:06:11.740
there's 1.6 million of you over there so we don't want to stop using youtube we just want to tell you
00:06:17.520
there are other options for you out there and so if you want to leave us a paid chat because unlike
00:06:21.940
the mainstream media who seem to not be reporting the things from this commission that are damaging to
00:06:28.380
them uh we're not in the pocket of justin trudeau we're fiercely independent nobody owns us uh we are
00:06:34.280
only accountable to our viewers and so if you want to leave a paid chat there's those two ways to do it
00:06:39.540
and if it's over five bucks and we have time at the end we'll do our best to address your question
00:06:44.680
query or comment on air but i should let you know we we have a airbnb in ottawa we've got a rotating cast of
00:06:52.300
characters going through their um journalists and video producers and chase producers um and so we're
00:07:00.000
going to be there for the full duration so if you want to support us in another way you can go to
00:07:04.600
trucker commission.com you can see all of our reports william is just as i say in every staff
00:07:09.260
meeting ripping it up in ottawa um you can see all of his work there at trucker commission.com
00:07:14.640
and you can support our work there too so with all that being said let's go to the ad so we can get
00:07:20.380
evil on set thursday in ottawa the public order emergencies commission kicked off it's an inquiry
00:07:29.060
into the actions of the government or at least it's supposed to be the inquiry is allegedly meant
00:07:34.560
to examine whether or not the government was justified in invoking an anti-terrorism law called
00:07:39.880
the emergencies act to euthanize peaceful anti-covid mandate protests taking place in the nation's
00:07:45.600
capital but also in other locations across the country my body my choice now the convoy to ottawa
00:07:54.000
spent nearly four weeks completely peacefully demonstrating against lockdowns and vaccine
00:07:59.400
passports it evolved into a nearly month-long street party replete with bouncy castles hot tubs
00:08:05.120
street hockey concerts and community outreach efforts like soup kitchens and food for the homeless
00:08:10.940
rebel news as we were for the convoy to ottawa will be there on the ground in ottawa to cover the
00:08:16.900
commission from the beginning to the end because you just cannot trust the mainstream media and in
00:08:22.280
fact that's what today's report is about we've rented an airbnb in ottawa where we're sending a rotating
00:08:29.100
cast of journalists to report on the public order emergency inquiry now you can help support our
00:08:34.600
efforts there at trucker commission.com the mainstream media is reporting about the
00:08:39.920
alleged foreign nature of the convoy funding was cited as a reason the liberals invoked the
00:08:44.760
emergencies act to arrest detain and seize the property bank accounts and assets of anti-trudeau
00:08:51.100
demonstrators we are back we're back and we have eva and hopefully we can talk to eva without any sort
00:08:58.980
of technical difficulties as we did last time but eva is such a good sport uh eva thanks for joining us
00:09:04.560
uh for those of you who don't know eva go ahead i was just saying my pleasure no no go ahead tell me
00:09:11.160
how good tell me how please introduce me i'd love to hear it tell me how great i am eva is the is one
00:09:18.680
of the lawyers working for the trucker convoy specifically tamera leach um and that's why she's
00:09:25.320
in all my pictures that i have with tamera leach there's eva's smiling mug right in the background so
00:09:30.460
that she makes sure that her client doesn't go back to jail she won't go back to prison uh eva i'm
00:09:37.560
so glad you're on the show because i heard some crazy things at the end there uh just the absolute
00:09:42.540
disarray in the police service um and the opp seemed genuinely concerned that they were being asked to do
00:09:51.940
things by ops that were illegal particularly these like snatch and grabs nicaraguan nicaraguan style
00:10:00.240
abductions of peaceful protesters on the street it was crazy yeah you probably noticed my smile went away
00:10:08.200
like listening to that evidence today you know i was on the ground i saw some of the things happening
00:10:15.280
and it is actually reassuring to see that the opp was looking to make sure that things were done
00:10:23.600
correctly and legally uh we saw some of that footage you know uh well our clients were there on the
00:10:29.880
ground some of them in coventry and just giving us accounts of what was going on and one of our
00:10:34.840
clients got some like a recording about how it is they're even taking stealing fuel we were a little
00:10:43.240
bit confused about that um so yeah it was good to hear the evidence again of the opp department and
00:10:51.580
the officers it's very different to what we hear from the ops yeah that is very true um
00:10:58.220
the superintendent today abrams he testified to the actions of the ops causing a complete and total
00:11:07.300
breakdown breakdown in early february with the protesters they had their police liaison team who
00:11:13.720
were working with the protesters towards a peaceful i mean it was obviously peaceful but a resolution to
00:11:20.040
everything and then the ops just moved in and started arresting everybody um at coventry for bringing fuel
00:11:27.360
in and the plt unit the police liaison unit they wanted to quit they just wanted to go home they said
00:11:33.940
what's the point here the quote was all is lost and i think it's a credit to your clients that it was
00:11:40.240
not lost because it could have been but they continued negotiating even after those arrests
00:11:45.840
that's right uh loss of trust is what i heard today a lot of and 100 percent and you know we had
00:11:55.220
truckers and protesters saying well you know the police keep lying to us they keep telling us one thing
00:12:02.280
and doing something else why would we trust them and like you said they maintained resolve they didn't
00:12:08.500
stoop down to any level of disturbance and criminality which after some time you know so much credit to
00:12:18.060
them for staying above and and be acting the way they were in really freezing conditions too and a shout
00:12:27.200
out to to um ottawa residents because a lot of ottawa residents saw that as well and they came to as they
00:12:33.680
did before but then they really came out in full force when these heard and saw fuel was being taken
00:12:38.760
away and there was a possibility that people would be you know freezing in their in their cars you know
00:12:45.920
that was one of the things they tried to do to them from the very beginning um councillors flurry and
00:12:51.560
mckinney uh testified to their lobbying of the city council to lower the temperature limit wherein
00:13:00.220
they allow people to idle their vehicles in the street because what they wanted to do was
00:13:04.660
disincentivize people from idling their trucks when it was like minus 20 minus 30 they wanted the city to go
00:13:12.880
around ticketing people for not freezing to death uh i thought i thought it was just atrocious and then
00:13:18.840
these are you know simultaneously the same people who say you know like we got to do more for the
00:13:22.780
homeless because they're going to freeze to death so um it's the wrong kind of people freezing to
00:13:27.360
death and then the right kind of people freezing to death they actually don't care about people uh
00:13:32.500
they just want to see themselves as some sort of saviors or enforcers on the other hand yeah well
00:13:38.740
very good point and and we heard that time and time again it was we want businesses or businesses
00:13:44.320
are suffering but not business from the protesters um there was also uh the situation of well if
00:13:51.300
there's a car parked illegally we want to make sure that it's not an ottawa resident that we're towing
00:13:57.080
away if it's parked illegally you get a ticket and you tow it away regardless of who you are like
00:14:02.340
it seems that you know there's just so much of this conflicting information and uh you know we see it
00:14:10.180
more and more every day surprisingly it was again surprising to hear how little the police actually
00:14:20.940
even like how little they needed the ea i don't think they needed it at all but even they couldn't
00:14:27.380
come up with strong reasons for why they needed it um for example i think it was uh assistant or deputy
00:14:36.080
chief ferguson uh who said um we liked having the threats of seizing assets seizing bank accounts we
00:14:45.440
liked those threats but what was important to us was the ability to compel tow truck drivers
00:14:51.460
and the uh ability to not have to go through the motions of swearing in officers and then she admits
00:15:00.040
we already had tow truck drivers on the way just from outside of ottawa i guess you don't want to
00:15:05.940
damage your reputation within um ottawa and she i think it was uh brennan miller maybe it was no
00:15:14.060
maybe it was rob kittredge from jccf who forced her to admit it would only save maybe a handful of
00:15:20.980
hours to skip going through the motions of having to swear in these outside officers so it was astounding
00:15:27.920
to me to hear a police officer somebody who's in police management testify that you are willing to
00:15:33.560
engage in snatch and grab arrests bank account seizures unconstitutional arrests holding people
00:15:42.420
um ticketing them for having their kids with them just so that you can skip some of the paperwork
00:15:49.080
to swear in new officers i mean that's that was what was the benefit for her i thought it was atrocious
00:15:54.940
yeah i honestly almost have nothing more to add because it's like i said it's shocking really like
00:16:04.000
here we came in thinking that we you know have so much evidence evidence gathering to um to do and
00:16:11.980
the evidence is just pouring out about uh the in the lack of planning and misinformation and um lack of
00:16:23.020
any kind of reasonableness that we actually sought more from protesters so going back to the last time
00:16:31.900
we chatted you know we there was a very short period of time that they there was actually engagement with
00:16:38.800
the protesters and a resolution so a plan as some kind of an agreement just thinking about the
00:16:47.700
background of what was going on there you know maybe having a couple protesters at the table would
00:16:54.280
help resolve a lot of these planning issues a lot earlier yeah it's funny um somebody joked on the
00:17:01.460
internet today because i one of these people expressed sort of horror and dismay that they had the truckers
00:17:08.460
had supply chains and they were able to get food into inside the protest and fuel and firewood inside of
00:17:14.820
the protest and i thought you know you soft-handed city people of course the truckers are good at
00:17:19.300
logistics and then somebody else said maybe they should be running the passport office
00:17:23.000
that's what i was trying to say but you'll put it a much better um you know let's throw to this clip
00:17:32.380
uh olivia of a lot of things late in the day yesterday just blew apart the government's narrative
00:17:39.140
but the media's narrative too about who and what the convoy protesters were and are to this day um
00:17:46.580
and again credit to the opp they seem to be the most reasonable people in all of this the opp and senior
00:17:52.380
bureaucrats within the city of ottawa the non-political types they seem to be as i said the other day the only
00:17:59.560
grown-ups in the room but we've got um the head of intelligence for the opp superintendent pat morris
00:18:07.880
giving his very honest assessment of the convoy and the in the extremism allegations within the convoy
00:18:17.000
if you wouldn't mind olivia we produced no intelligence to indicate that these individuals
00:18:23.980
would be armed and there has been a lot of hyperbole about that um that was something we wish to
00:18:31.860
in the when people think about what happened in january 6th of 2020 that is presence of mind
00:18:40.920
but we produced no intelligence to indicate that that would be the case
00:18:44.760
and i think uh the uh arrests for firearms after the fact played that out as in there were none
00:18:53.720
correct i i so much enjoyed opp superintendent um morris time after time you know questions were being
00:19:03.980
asked it's like some and i think it was mostly the government federal government lawyer almost
00:19:09.920
fishing for you know information and he kind of just straight to the point no credible information
00:19:17.400
no credible information sometimes i saw reports in the media but there was no credible information that
00:19:25.160
that's what we should be looking at here police reports actual facts not fiction you know um and he
00:19:34.260
went on to talk about um the disinformation that the media caught like the the concerns and the
00:19:41.480
problems the disinformation the media caused on um helping them contain and take control of the situation so
00:19:49.640
in fact they were extending the problems and complicating the the police in acting out what they needed to do
00:19:57.800
just terrifying yeah i think we have that clip where uh superintendent morris talks about just how much
00:20:06.100
of his time was wasted by people who were whipped into hysterics by media reports and what uh pat morris
00:20:13.400
calls politicization of the convoy because you know these people in ottawa were told for two weeks that
00:20:20.900
the kkk was coming and so and so when the so-called kkk finally arrived all they did was call the cops and
00:20:28.160
report people for mean signs and he had to go and investigate them all or at least his people had to go and
00:20:33.000
investigate them all and then he's got to deal with the intelligence reports related to that so i think
00:20:37.200
we have um it's a kind of a longer minute and plus uh clip but he lays it all down about how damaging
00:20:45.620
to his ability to work the constant rhetoric from politicians was um and as you say it probably
00:20:54.340
prolonged anything that happened in ottawa there seems to be a um a causal linkage in somebody's in
00:21:04.000
some people's minds between certain things that are not illegal or criminal um they just may not be
00:21:11.240
in line with and a nexus to somehow an intelligence threat i can give you an example i have had instances
00:21:18.100
where people have approached me uh professionally because there were bumper stickers um that had to
00:21:23.920
do with um entities that they disagreed with so therefore those people shouldn't be police officers
00:21:29.540
they shouldn't be parked in policing um uh sorry parking lots and i heard terminology um that person
00:21:38.600
is right wing so and then therefore an assumption i used to hear all that all the time about left wing
00:21:44.200
and i was very concerned about it uh because i worked in anti-terrorism at the time of um the 9 11
00:21:49.860
attacks and i saw what these knee-jerk reactions do where we get information from the public on any
00:21:55.860
number of issues related to what they perceive to be threats from wahhabism or salafism or sunni
00:22:02.060
extremism and there always seems to be an overreach that comes with this politicization and i've had many
00:22:09.000
instances where i've been asked to go through these intelligence checks without the
00:22:14.100
reasonable grounds to suspect or believe that there is a threat posed there is merely the presence
00:22:21.580
of something or someone that someone doesn't like i think this says a lot because you know and it's
00:22:30.040
actually true nowadays i see a lot of people seeing people from the other side of the political aisle
00:22:34.540
you know left-wing people looking at right-wing people and just because they are conservatives they're
00:22:39.180
going to think that they are a threat to them i think it says a lot about you know the the level
00:22:45.200
of violence that was actually behind the convoy well this whole i think the whole reason for the ea
00:22:51.960
and i i think we actually have a clip of a liberal saying this as much in the house of commons today
00:22:57.100
it's that people have criminalized inconvenience and i don't think you have a right to be comfortable
00:23:02.560
in this country and yeah yeah horn honking yeah sure it's annoying but it's not an act of war like
00:23:11.240
it's not a 9-11 level event but that's how they treated horn honking and traffic snarls and people
00:23:18.860
with disagreeable opinions in the nation's capital yeah you know i guess we have a lawyer right here so
00:23:24.760
is a right-wing person inherently violence that's being right-wing that's your that's your violence
00:23:29.860
i guess it depends who you ask nowadays yeah opp superintendent um morris said no but you know
00:23:37.660
that's what the narrative has been and uh thankfully now i think it's being it's coming to light that
00:23:45.180
you know you can't this is not a criminal activity and i um brendan miller did ask him
00:23:50.340
because in his evidence he said something to the effect of i don't like using the word
00:23:55.900
extremist and so brendan went into that and asked him to provide some more context to that
00:24:03.000
and and he said something very similar to what we heard is that now that name that label is being
00:24:10.460
thrown out to somebody that just doesn't agree with you that doesn't mean it's criminal that doesn't
00:24:14.700
mean that it's wrong and actually going back i think it was to diane deeds who was up earlier and
00:24:20.160
as we know and heard there was a lot of politicking there um and she said that political discourse
00:24:27.320
and opposing views not only uh should be encouraged but it's healthy to have so here we are you know
00:24:35.160
uh the city politicking um here we have kind of you know working class politicking against the federal
00:24:43.160
government uh but again that's not the kind of politicking we want uh that's not the kind of
00:24:49.040
protesting or opinions that we that are allowed in the city um so it's just really good to turn the
00:24:54.700
table around because you you see that it just depends on who it is that the that conversation
00:24:59.680
is okay for yeah someone noted to me the other day that there's a serious classist element in all of
00:25:06.300
this where the white collar ottawa bureaucrats who i i describe them as the pajamas and laptop class
00:25:13.940
where they can work from home they work from home till the day they die if they work in the
00:25:17.120
passport office they're still working from home um they really didn't like these icky blue collar
00:25:24.780
useful people coming to their city you know like you see how upset they were that they couldn't get
00:25:30.580
their uber eats and they were so offended that people who were concerned about not being able to
00:25:36.100
feed their kids drove their icky trucks into their city and made some noise and they are crying about uber
00:25:43.720
eats and i just thought you know there's such a disconnect between you know the the ivory tower
00:25:50.120
bureaucratic class versus the entire rest of the country and and uh i guess that's why albertans are
00:25:57.880
so alienated probably yeah well and you know the uber eats we people were using uber eats i know
00:26:06.580
so then that that doesn't even fly um i like your description what i've been using is the starbucks
00:26:12.700
versus the tim hortons um group because when uh the protesters were in downtown ottawa all accounts
00:26:20.660
that i've heard from tim hortons is it was their best um revenue in three weeks compared to the last
00:26:26.300
three years so that's that's the class difference too just in terms of coffee if you want to put it that
00:26:32.580
way yeah for sure would you made a money eva i drink gas station coffee i drink anything i'm a lawyer
00:26:39.940
any coffee we we have long days as you can see yeah it's good it is it's keeping me going um we've
00:26:49.080
got actually a clip of uh liberal pam damoff she's insisting that invoking the emergencies act was
00:26:58.180
the right thing to do because people were hurting everywhere i guess just hurt feelings terrorism law
00:27:05.800
no biggie terrorism got it uh maybe i'd love to ask if she was if she's been watching any of the
00:27:11.220
evidence coming out in this inquiry which is the whole point of it is to justify the the invocation
00:27:17.020
of the emergencies act do you know what william let's find her and ask her please yeah yeah i've
00:27:23.680
been trying you know i i got i got mark home in the chino i got defense minister anita anand
00:27:28.040
i got her favorite minister who i have to censor myself omar al-jabra as well that i was able to see
00:27:35.040
so i have an in-house nickname for him i'm trying my best i'm trying my best to get her
00:27:40.380
uh olivia let's throw to that clip of uh pam saying uh heard feelings terrorism if the prime minister
00:27:47.860
really believed that uh the situation was so bad that his house needed to be protective
00:27:52.720
did he not also feel that it would have been justified to protect all the population of ottawa
00:28:06.320
mr speaker and i thank the honorable member for his question during the illegal occupation last winter
00:28:12.500
people across the country were hurting not just in ottawa but across the entire country and canadians
00:28:18.680
freedoms to feel safe in their homes were threatened and that's why we invoked the emergency act because
00:28:24.240
it was the right thing to do and it worked to end this illegal occupation in ottawa and across the
00:28:30.460
country thank you mr speaker no no if the prime minister you know you know the reason why people
00:28:36.000
couldn't feel safe in their home because of situations like what happened with archer uh archer
00:28:41.460
provlosky in uh in alberta occurred during the convoy because we saw a video of police entering the house
00:28:47.480
of people that were having what quebecers called illegal gathering during the lockdowns during the
00:28:55.200
pandemic that's why people didn't feel safe in their house it wasn't because of the peaceful
00:28:59.220
truckers that were protesting for the freedom of everyone it's such a hypocritical and false statement just
00:29:05.060
overall well not only that is that's not the requirements under the law in the emergencies
00:29:09.860
right like let's start there uh if that's what the government is now saying is the reason they invoke
00:29:15.680
the act well again we could pack up and let's go home like this case closed yeah uh that is not
00:29:21.880
justification for invoking the emergencies act it's actually really disturbing to see members of parliament
00:29:29.540
parliament suggests that yeah i mean i don't think that somebody else's agoraphobia or anxiety disorder
00:29:38.040
is reason to invoke the war measures act on the entire country a war measures act that i don't
00:29:44.560
understand it wasn't been used it wasn't been used by the way on september 11 the the emergency
00:29:49.280
act was sorry i was just gonna say i think we actually have justin trudeau responding
00:29:53.720
to uh some questions in the house of commons today yeah let's show that um he's somebody asked him
00:30:01.340
about uh why he invoked the emergencies act and uh he said it was for the well-being of democracy
00:30:07.480
interesting not the reason to invoke it under the law so yeah i don't i don't think the act
00:30:15.040
serves to to respect democracy that's quite a pretzel too uh we're gonna squash peaceful expression
00:30:22.720
the right to assemble the right to protest your own government we're gonna squash that in the name
00:30:29.360
of democracy i'm like i'm not sure you know what that means let's show this clip
00:30:33.440
we invoke the emergency measures act in a responsible way in a wary way and in a limited
00:30:42.260
a time-limited way in a way that fully respected the fundamental rights and freedoms of canadians we have
00:30:47.960
done this because the situation required it i'm very happy that now there is a public inquiry that's
00:30:54.500
happening that will allow all canadians to see what we saw at the time this was an illegal occupation
00:31:01.960
it was a real problem not only for the residents of ottawa and throughout the country but also for our
00:31:07.160
economy and for the well-being of our democracy we did what we had to do in a responsible way
00:31:13.140
at least i always see people complaining when we show clips of justin true because they said they
00:31:19.740
they don't like to hear his voice at least here was an interpreter or translator so
00:31:23.540
what's better for them i find the translators just as annoying but but uh it's it's funny how they take
00:31:33.000
credit for revoking the act before they had to produce proof for needing it oh we did it in a measured way
00:31:40.140
no you revoked it before you had to produce proof for ever needing it i have to say one thing too it
00:31:46.860
was both uh the prime minister and the mp they both used the words illegal occupation and we have yet to
00:31:54.080
find out or have anybody tell us what was illegal and when it was illegal what is is it they're talking
00:32:02.020
about they keep using that rhetoric and it has no basis there's no fact to it um and in fact
00:32:10.120
uh one of the clips that i did like from matthew flurry the counselor is he kept asking um the
00:32:16.560
police authorities what's illegal and they said we don't know so why are we continuing to maintain
00:32:24.440
that narrative of illegal occupation i would really love to know what it is as a lawyer because nobody's
00:32:31.540
been able to explain that to me either it's illegal to disagree with justin trudeau that's why he wants
00:32:37.860
to control the internet that's why he wants to control the internet uh because uh there are some
00:32:42.920
disagreeable folks on the internet that he can't control through the crtc and so he's just going to
00:32:48.040
extend that um he can't pollute certain people with subsidies so he's got to do something to get around
00:32:53.620
that and then um peaceful protests you cannot disagree with the government or you are a terrorist
00:32:59.760
sexist misogynist homophobic uh nightmare invader to the city that's another thing that really
00:33:05.280
bothers me about all this and again i think it goes to classism these are your fellow canadians
00:33:11.520
yeah they're not foreign invaders they came to their nation's capital where the seat of the government
00:33:20.480
is to protest the things the government is doing to them where else are they supposed to protest but
00:33:27.260
they're not foreign invaders they're canadians and if they want to protest in the nation's capital
00:33:32.980
they damn sure have a right to do it that's just how it is but they're treated like they are these
00:33:38.820
foreign infestation from some far-flung ill-behaved place they're just your fellow canadians
00:33:46.920
who see things a different way it really bothers me to see how they're talked about
00:33:51.440
yeah yeah you know i just want to go back on a point that you talked about in terms of democracy what
00:33:55.900
what's the definition of democracy according to justin trudeau and i think we found it
00:34:00.340
it's not disagreeing with justin trudeau you you are not allowed to disagree with the prime minister
00:34:04.700
in justin trudeau's democracy because apart from a slight disagreement in political beliefs and you
00:34:11.480
know inconvenience the truckers were peaceful there was it was a peaceful protest the the arson attempt
00:34:18.820
wasn't related to the truckers none of the big assault that the mainstream media was talking about
00:34:24.140
were related to the truckers so in terms of what the the protesters did wrong it was disagreeing with
00:34:30.800
justin trudeau and being inconvenient and i think that's that's what justin trudeau sees as a democracy
00:34:36.320
you're not allowed to disagree with him and you're not allowed to be slightly inconvenient well and i'd like
00:34:40.640
to take it a step further too is that these are like these are canadian citizens and they came to their
00:34:46.960
their elected mps their constituents and that discussion about having photos with these
00:34:54.120
protesters these are your constituents you are a public servant that that kind kind of line and
00:35:01.160
rhetoric really gets to me because who else are you serving if not the people and they felt unheard for
00:35:07.260
two years they raised concerns and then they finally thought maybe if we come to the nation's capital
00:35:14.000
we come in a large group they will listen to us our voices will finally be heard after three years
00:35:21.420
two years of this and yet it was i could say even worse uh degraded uh disrespected uh rather than
00:35:32.200
come this is your job as an mp to talk to your constituents and that how does that not happen i don't
00:35:40.960
understand and you know i think the reason why they don't feel the needs because they don't feel
00:35:44.120
the need that they are accountable they don't feel they don't feel accountable to the to the public
00:35:48.680
and actually i think we could show a clip of my scrums that i did with some of the mps yesterday when
00:35:53.180
i asked them if it is found that justin trudeau used this authoritarian law never seen before
00:35:59.140
unjustifiably and unnecessarily will you push for his resignation and i think the liberals answers
00:36:05.000
spoke volume can we show that clip olivia yeah oh there he is a little god if it's found by
00:36:11.480
jimmy she's like in fire yeah justin trudeau invoked jimmy she's like unjustified in an unjustified
00:36:18.140
manner and unnecessarily will you push for his resignation
00:36:29.560
will you push for justin trudeau's resignation if it is found that he used the emergencies act
00:36:42.940
mr garrettson why did you spend more time on twitter than working for your constituents
00:36:59.540
if you think that's the case you're spending too much time on twitter
00:37:03.680
i'd like to commit take a moment to commend william because i've watched some of these clips before i
00:37:12.000
came here and thank you for doing what you're doing because it is like i said shocking to me that
00:37:19.040
these mps are not speaking to canadians like you said they don't feel they're accountable and i think
00:37:26.040
this is wrong it's so wrong and this is why we ended up here so why were people here in ottawa
00:37:31.800
have you not learned your lesson yet yeah well and the thing is too you don't see anybody
00:37:39.500
in all the journalists infesting ottawa you don't see a single one of them buttonholing these politicians
00:37:46.240
on the street you only see william doing it and that is a complete and total failing of the
00:37:53.040
mainstream media this enormous once in a lifetime of accountability event is unfolding in their city
00:37:59.620
you've got liberal mps just free roaming the streets and only one person is asking them questions
00:38:07.600
and it's william and i think their silence speaks volumes i love william that you just leave it awkward
00:38:13.680
because it shows that they don't have a clue and i know they probably feel like barfing they're like
00:38:19.780
oh get this kid away and you just hold the microphone there it's the best um you know it's
00:38:24.780
hard and and this the sad thing about the fact about you know mainstream media reporters not
00:38:29.740
answering not answering not asking questions sorry is the fact that we are poor forced to pay them
00:38:34.920
through our taxes we are paying cbc reporters who are not asking any questions we are paying glenn mcgregor
00:38:42.280
by the way i saw in the in the commission building well i told him hey and he looked at me very
00:38:48.280
weirdly and wouldn't even say hi back but yeah i saw him earlier no none of them are asking
00:38:53.940
questions from a freedom oriented perspective glenn mcgregor prefers to you know push and get henzie
00:39:00.340
with some tamara lee supporters instead that guy's out of control i'm happy to see omar al-jabra got a
00:39:07.400
haircut though i think that's good for country um but he dressed better but just just come back to the
00:39:13.480
original point you know their silence speaks volume they don't feel they're accountable they don't feel
00:39:18.000
even if canadians like them they do not feel they will ever get away from power and that's why they
00:39:23.640
are doing such reckless law such reckless policy and taking so such authoritarian undemocratic decisions
00:39:31.020
the way that they are doing it right now is because they don't feel accountable to the canadian
00:39:34.680
population i think it goes back to our point that of the residents of ottawa not seeing the
00:39:40.680
convoyers as their fellow canadians you can tell these liberals they don't feel like they have to
00:39:46.460
be the government for all canadians even the canadians they disagree with they feel like they
00:39:52.280
only have to serve the people they agree with and that's not why they're paid to be there they're
00:39:57.800
supposed to be the government for all of canada and not everywhere up until winnipeg 100 yeah
00:40:05.180
yeah i had a thought that's why i'm constantly scribbling yeah that's why i'm constantly scribbling
00:40:14.660
that's a good idea they leave and i have to write them down i think we can throw to an ad here though
00:40:20.560
and eva i think you have to go right i'll come back again okay um so we're gonna let you go now then
00:40:28.840
you'll shuffle off you've had a long day but thank you so much thank you so much for coming on the show
00:40:33.640
and sharing your thoughts and doing your best to butt in when william and i are talking too much
00:40:38.920
and you're welcome back anytime thanks eva it's happy to come again great thank you let's throw
00:40:49.260
hey folks from october 13th to november 25th we are here in ottawa for the emergencies act inquiry
00:40:59.120
organized by the public order emergency commission but why why the emergencies act inquiry well because
00:41:04.760
during the freedom convoy back in february justin trudeau used a never invoked before emergencies act
00:41:10.620
to basically seize protesters bank accounts seize protesters money seize their assets trampled their
00:41:16.080
civil liberties so we're here this month for the next month and a half to figure out if the way the
00:41:20.580
government acted was lawful and was appropriate so we are here to hold the government accountable but we
00:41:25.400
need your help we are here to cover it for you because everyone else here is mainstream media
00:41:28.860
so if you want to help us cover it if you want to help us bring you the other side of the story
00:41:33.160
factual actual news go to truckercommission.com and consider making a donation if you haven't checked
00:41:39.580
that's great let's put that on a t-shirt i thought that was great um
00:41:46.720
william can you hear me okay yeah right now i can hear i couldn't hear the first
00:41:51.560
first five seconds and i can hear oh i was complimenting you on your um turn a turn a
00:41:57.440
phrase of factual actual um let's go to this let's go to the next clip because there's some things going
00:42:04.920
on behind the scenes in the ops that i can first of all i don't think there's any good guys there
00:42:10.440
at first i thought uh chief slowly might be a good guy he didn't want to crack heads but now i see in
00:42:16.700
his communications with the opp they're saying whoa you're asking us to do things that we think
00:42:22.820
are illegal uh and we're not going to do them until we get legal advice and he had a fit it sounds like
00:42:31.840
with um superintendent abrams of the opp yeah i think the reason why i think the reason why you
00:42:39.420
thought he was one of the good guys that as soon as nowadays as soon as we see someone who's not
00:42:43.240
super radicalized in terms of his response to him convoy we think that they are moderate that
00:42:48.900
are actually on the right side right all things are relative i guess you put him up you put him
00:42:55.140
up to steve bell and you're like oh yeah he's a total total freedom lover but then when you put
00:42:59.720
him beside somebody like abrams who's like i'm not having my guys do illegal things no more uh abducting
00:43:07.360
peaceful protesters off the street thank you very much which is what they wanted to do they called it
00:43:12.800
snatch and grabs um you know when when you are the guy saying let's do some snatch and grabs
00:43:20.900
of beautiful protesters in the nation's capital you're probably not a good guy you're probably
00:43:26.720
not the good guy here and there was some serious serious internal turmoil because it sounds like the
00:43:35.700
opp were giving their intelligence reports to steve bell who is deputy chief and in charge of
00:43:44.800
intelligence at ops they were giving those to him although we'll hear more about this when he
00:43:50.600
testifies but this is sort of what i was able to put together it sounds like they were giving the
00:43:55.580
intelligence reports to him and either he wasn't giving them or digesting them and then giving him the
00:44:02.600
you know the briefing the chief on those of course it was but they weren't accurate and i'm not sure
00:44:08.560
what's going on there but there was a real problem with intel getting to chief slowly which i think is
00:44:15.340
my conspiratorial side says i think they sabotaged chief slowly because the guy who wasn't giving the intel
00:44:23.100
reports is now the chief fancy how that works um yeah go ahead no i think i think i think there's a
00:44:30.220
little bit of there's a little bit of what you say 100 percent um i think also there's a lack of organization
00:44:35.360
like we touched on in the very beginning i i can't believe how disorganized the ops the oppd
00:44:42.840
rcnp were all were none of them seem to be able to organize themselves and prepare themselves for a
00:44:48.700
protest that would actually last more than two days during the weekend even though all the protesters
00:44:54.280
all the truckers say said they were coming here for a long time until the mandates are lifted everyone
00:45:00.980
would say if yet the city and the police would only be able to prepare themselves for for the first
00:45:07.240
weekend i think they lacked a lot of organizational skills there yeah and it looked like chief slowly
00:45:13.340
had a tantrum and then complained to the minister abrin says he testified to an argument that he had with
00:45:18.780
chief slowly i'm just reading from my own twitter feed abrin's tried to convince slowly to pump the
00:45:24.160
brakes and allow them to mobilize 400 opp and rcmp officers into ottawa over the course of a week
00:45:31.460
because that's a huge deployment and they have to swear them all in apparently that takes hours
00:45:35.820
and then uh uh slowly threatened to go to the minister if he didn't do it immediately so he was trying
00:45:42.840
to bully up the chain of command and the rcmp um there's one thing uh there was one thing that was
00:45:52.240
very very um interesting here when they talked about um abrams told the commission that they had no assault
00:46:03.140
yeah and he also told the commission in his previous interview like his first intake interview as a
00:46:09.840
commission witness way back in the spring he said that the ops were in crisis mode they were cursing
00:46:17.580
and swearing and that they were yelling orders at each other and their partner agencies like it was
00:46:23.960
just complete and total chaos at the ops um nobody was in control chief slowly was trying to hang on to
00:46:32.420
control it sounds like because we have a clip of ferguson saying he didn't want to relinquish control
00:46:37.240
he clearly didn't have control of his own officers here and maybe we can throw to that clip of uh
00:46:44.060
deputy chief ferguson so she was in charge of sort of not intel but sort of the implementation of a lot
00:46:50.640
of the policing on the ground like community policing um and she said that slowly didn't want to relinquish
00:46:56.800
control to the opp which is fair it's his city um but he what things were spiraling out of control
00:47:04.400
and uh the only people who really seemed to have a handle on the situation was the opp
00:47:10.220
and even then it wasn't the best but at least they're honest i don't trust anybody else maybe
00:47:17.240
we can throw to that clip but the police services act sets out very specific circumstances where
00:47:24.080
the opp may take over command of a certain incident or area yes and one of those would be if a formal
00:47:32.880
request would be made from the ops chief to the opp commissioner correct i think that's how it
00:47:40.280
works yes although no such request was made in this case correct i would have been surprised if it was
00:47:47.060
i don't know though for sure so i didn't hear you i i don't know if it was made or not but did you say
00:47:52.660
it would you'd be surprised i would have been surprised if the request was made why would you
00:47:56.640
have been surprised because i don't think that that's what um former chief slowly was wanted why
00:48:02.080
i think you'd have to ask him it was clear to me that he was pushing back on on that oh i'm asking
00:48:10.920
you though because you have a lot you've had a lot of dealings with chief slowly so why in your
00:48:16.040
opinion and in your experience do you believe chief slowly uh would have refused to consider or would
00:48:22.020
would not have entertained the possibility of asking for formal assistance in that way i don't
00:48:26.680
believe he wanted to give up control i think he felt that this he was the chief in the in the police
00:48:31.500
of jurisdiction and he wanted that to be maintained there was a lot of things that she said in her
00:48:39.340
testimony today that we really should go back and clip um when you look at just exactly what she was
00:48:46.880
willing to invoke the emergencies act for i think that woman is tyrannical i don't think she should be in a
00:48:51.760
position of police leadership she seems sort of like i don't know blah blah i'm just here to do my
00:48:56.680
job i don't want to be involved in the politics but some of the stuff that she said was absolutely
00:49:03.820
crazy and you and i always call the emergencies act an anti-terrorism law or a counter-terrorism law
00:49:10.820
because that's what it's purpose yeah exactly that's what it's for it's for a foreign invasion or an
00:49:16.740
internal terrorist attack where you need to immediately stop funding to the terrorists if
00:49:22.780
you can and round them up real fast before they kill anybody else um it's used for 9-11 level events
00:49:31.380
it's used for pearl harbor level events um so one of those is an internal attack or launched internally
00:49:37.920
one of them is an external attack that's what it's for it's not so that you can as she said grease the
00:49:45.360
wheels to clear out the protest so it made things happen a little faster this thing that uh ottawa
00:49:54.340
found inconvenient no my phone's eavesdropping on me um she also said it allowed them to move ahead
00:50:01.220
with the plan with further confidence oh okay anti-terrorism law that's fine as long as the as the
00:50:07.980
police can move ahead with confidence this is not about giving police confidence yeah exactly that's
00:50:14.200
on the point of the ea right no i just thought uh what the problem i really have with all of this
00:50:25.500
depending on the outcome is if the government is not found to be uh overstepping by invoking this
00:50:34.720
thing we've just drastically lowered the bar for what counts as a terrorist act in canada yeah what
00:50:41.900
can they do in the future that's not i mean if they found that it was used justifiably and necessarily
00:50:48.740
yeah i mean we did this for horn honking bouncy castles traffic snarls and the wrong opinions
00:50:56.700
um what happens when you maybe want to have a referendum on separation in alberta wouldn't
00:51:05.220
breaking apart the country be an act of terrorism it depends on who you ask doesn't it um it's uh
00:51:12.380
it's really something else to see um these people what they are willing to stomp all over the rights of
00:51:20.060
their fellow canadians the how small of a thing they're willing to do that for yeah i think i think
00:51:27.700
the emergency act inquiry has exposed how radical some of the some of the witnesses are you know we
00:51:34.700
saw yesterday diane deans you know this is the same woman that says she wanted to basically pierce
00:51:40.820
through a bouncy castle yeah go around stabbing things with a knife who's the violent one you want
00:51:46.220
you want to stab a bouncy castle then you heard the bizarre lunatic testimony of catherine mckinney
00:51:53.520
when she was testifying we saw the testimony of zexy lee who was proud and who laughed as she was
00:52:00.960
saying that they were throwing eggs to protesters and throwing eggs on the truck now we have this
00:52:06.460
woman i think we see how radical some of those peoples are yeah yeah how little they care about freedom
00:52:14.220
or respect the freedom of other people and it was refreshing to hear superintendent abrams say
00:52:20.040
um i don't want to do illegal things we i don't want my not just i don't want to do it i don't want
00:52:27.500
my officers to be even remotely involved in any of this i don't even want the opp police liaison team
00:52:34.940
involved in any of this if you are going to be snatching and grabbing people we're not any part of
00:52:41.840
this and slowly was saying all of the officers that are coming to ottawa and this is in the readout of
00:52:50.080
their um back and forth said all of the officers who are coming to ottawa have to be willing to engage
00:53:01.440
in arrests for aiding mischief which was what they described bringing the fuel and food into the convoy
00:53:09.400
they said that's you know accomplice to mischief and they said if you're coming that's right i forgot
00:53:16.780
about that they must be willing to arrest people for bringing food and fuel in for stopping people
00:53:22.960
from freezing yeah yeah you know that's that that's unbelievable seeing that jerry cans became a symbol
00:53:29.140
of terrorism yeah i remember i wasn't i wasn't working with rebel news back then but when i saw that on
00:53:34.020
the news i just it was astonishing to hear that yeah we've got a few chats thank you very much
00:53:41.300
everybody let's read those and then sign off you and i have had a very long day we're back at it again
00:53:46.480
tomorrow and for the next i don't know five weeks six weeks um let's get to these so um yeah i think we
00:53:54.840
can go back a little actually because i don't think we read the one on oh maybe we did um on monday
00:54:00.620
i'm not sure if we read that one um it's anyways i'll just breeze through it it's adam ottawa because
00:54:04.760
it's five bucks i'll say that the city manager had a lot of credibility the most so far he answered
00:54:08.420
factually corrected himself didn't misspeak no emotions unlike those two elected clowns from last
00:54:13.040
friday that is true i notice also that jim watson he said that someone was coming from the maritimes i
00:54:21.640
forget which maritime province don't come at me maritimers it was either new brunswick or nova scotia
00:54:26.380
i won't get mad at you if you confuse alberta and saskatchewan um and he said that those people
00:54:31.580
i think you would i might a little bit um so anyways uh he said that somebody was arrested
00:54:38.860
for coming from i think it was new brunswick i'm gonna get a letter either way um and coming from
00:54:46.360
new brunswick to shoot him with a gun yeah and that somebody was arrested and i think somebody asked
00:54:52.440
for receipts as the kids say right somebody said uh i'm not when when did this happen i don't see
00:54:58.720
anything in the police charge records and then he said oh i misspoke that's a hell of a thing to
00:55:03.320
misspeak about don't you think that's not like uh i used new brunswick instead of nova scotia
00:55:07.820
or i said saskatchewan when i meant fort saskatchewan alberta um that's not a misspeak that is a complete
00:55:15.980
make-em-up and if someone were coming from another province to shoot me i might get the details right
00:55:21.780
you know i think jim watson now he he's leaving mayoral politics he might go with the liberal
00:55:27.280
party he might go as an ambassador i think he'd also have a good shot for working for the cbc
00:55:32.020
because that reminds me of the cbc's tactics you know they see uh the convoy is russianly funded
00:55:38.000
right there were guns in the convoy and then yeah yeah it was just we were just mistaking about that
00:55:44.060
it's not it's not a mistake you just make by accident it's a mistake you make on purpose and
00:55:48.260
that's not a mistake that's a lie it's a lie that's not a mistake that's a lie like you really
00:55:53.240
have to sit down and imagine that went up um i don't know how you could be mistaken that someone
00:55:59.700
was arrested for coming to kill you from halfway across the country like that's just these people
00:56:04.500
i keep saying it they are like stars in their own movie this is like they're they're they're
00:56:09.640
starlets it's right and when when he's called out for lying he said no just forget about it forget
00:56:14.920
about it never happened i misspoke yeah exactly just don't remember that it's all right let's
00:56:19.920
move on and that's jim watson is hoping that people are that stupid to the point they will forget
00:56:25.640
all the lies he said during his testimony yep uh we've got a super chat from salty shit i'll say it
00:56:34.300
because you're a young man you're a young person i don't want you swearing uh for five bucks says
00:56:38.320
hallelujah i'm a woman in texas that watches rebel news all the time well hello i just found your ad on
00:56:43.840
telegram rebel news account texas carry god bless you all ezra your channel your news channel is
00:56:50.440
winning i like to think so i mean we're pretty big we're bigger than a lot of the mainstream media
00:56:56.140
channels i think more people watch us i generally think more people like us because they choose to
00:57:01.460
watch us as opposed to the mandatory carriage of being pumped into your home every single day whether
00:57:05.920
you want it or not like the cbc people actually seek us out and support us so we thank everybody for
00:57:12.480
doing that there are a lot of other places you could spend your money and you have less of it
00:57:17.460
than ever thanks to the liberals so we appreciate that you send our way inflationary crisis time that
00:57:23.300
we're living in yeah uh another one from salty shit gives us five bucks the person running this
00:57:29.480
committee is awesome let's keep it to the questions that she can answer yeah that's true uh judge
00:57:36.580
trillo i think he's he's doing okay he's doing okay right no yeah i think he's fair you can see
00:57:43.420
that he's engaging with the witnesses i don't think you know people had some doubts about him about about
00:57:48.320
his integrity about how how impartial the process would be honestly i lost some of those those doubts as
00:57:55.540
as the longer i see him work in the committee yeah well and that's the thing i don't really care about
00:58:02.260
is politics i really don't can he be impartial and it's good for me to know that someone who might
00:58:08.960
lean left can still be impartial that they can still keep their opinions out of things uh it's good
00:58:15.600
for me it's good for my mind to know that that side of the aisle is not completely fallen yeah there's
00:58:21.700
still some good people i mean yeah uh adam ottawa gives us five bucks says my impression of today's
00:58:27.100
ops deputy is that she is either wasn't being very forthcoming i think you might be right for
00:58:32.560
political reasons or she was kept out of the loop i'm leaning towards a bit of both but more to the
00:58:38.980
latter you think she was kept out of the loop i don't know i think she was uh purposefully obfuscating
00:58:44.700
in places where um i think it was a jccf lawyer might have been who said um but basically tried to pin her
00:58:56.700
or no maybe it was brendan miller no i think it was jccf rob kittred
00:59:01.540
brendan is great by the way i've got i've got to put it off here brendan is amazing
00:59:05.460
he he does such great cross examinations yeah they're all good they're the reason i continue to
00:59:13.160
pay attention because i know they're going to get there sometime um but i think it was rob
00:59:18.420
kittredge who pointed out look there were only 13 arrests in lead up to the invocation of the
00:59:25.020
emergencies act and then she sort of said back yeah but there were 400 in total well that means
00:59:30.260
the majority of them came after the extraordinary powers of arrest came along so under normal times
00:59:37.180
with normal laws and respect for charter rights you guys could only on the best of times with
00:59:43.440
additional cops roaming the city like stormtroopers come up with 13 charges and then after the fact
00:59:49.980
they came up with 400 um and she said well i don't know you're gonna have to ask chief slowly or
00:59:56.620
steve bell about that stuff she was the one in charge of actual policing so she would know but she
01:00:04.480
just thought no i'll just pass the fuck let somebody else testify to the facts i don't know she was pinned
01:00:09.840
down on you know i think he asked her you know by cutting off their bank accounts
01:00:16.640
where people actually stranded downtown now because you wouldn't let fuel in and they didn't have
01:00:23.220
money to fuel up and leave and she said oh i don't know i don't know what do you think lady
01:00:28.920
you know like it's just so stupid yeah no i think i think she does know it's just well
01:00:35.500
for ignorance happens a lot in the liberal liberal side of the aisle yeah uh and last one goes to
01:00:42.160
university five bucks according to trudeau it was only a fringe minority that was coming to ottawa
01:00:47.140
what a hypocrite yeah i remember that it was such a fresh minority they had to invoke the emergencies
01:00:52.000
act that that's how small the amount of people that were there was you know no firearms no violence
01:00:58.060
and it was so small that he had to invoke an anti-terrorism law yeah just a little street party
01:01:04.380
just a tiny little get together you know and it's funny because i'm old enough to remember and
01:01:09.820
william i know you aren't um i don't know if you guys remember when theresa spence i'm sure the
01:01:14.880
audience might know some of the people who've been around in politics the last 10 years
01:01:18.820
theresa spence was the chief of atewapiskat reserve and there was serious financial mismanagement
01:01:25.560
there in fact i think her boyfriend was charged i'm not sure if he went to jail but he was charged
01:01:32.440
with he was the financial manager of the town and he was charged with just basically
01:01:37.740
financial misappropriation of funds she's rolling around and escalating everybody else's house is
01:01:43.760
falling down and so the harper government said we're giving you guys money where's it all going
01:01:48.040
we're going to do an audit and she protested the audit by going to ottawa and sleeping and i say that
01:01:55.880
with heavy air quotes sleeping in a teepee in a park there she wasn't sleeping in the teepee she was
01:02:02.900
in the teepee during the day she was going to a four-star hotel at night and she was also oh yeah
01:02:08.200
that's right that's true i remember that yeah yeah ezra called her chief chicken noodle because
01:02:12.880
then she said she's going on a hunger strike and then um that's true she said she was eating moose
01:02:19.100
broth or something but she's the only hunger striker i ever know knew who put on weight you know
01:02:24.020
what i mean yeah justin shoulda went down there into her teepee when her family's involved in the
01:02:31.380
financial misappropriation of this impoverished indigenous community and basically sits shoulder
01:02:37.660
to shoulder with her he met with her but he couldn't met meet with a single one of these thousand
01:02:45.880
there's chief chicken noodle and justin trudeau i think holding an eagle feather yeah i imagine he's
01:02:52.220
he couldn't meet with a single protester yeah at the freedom in the meantime her boyfriend's
01:02:58.340
backing out of wapiskat cleaning the place out and uh i wonder if he showed her his buckskin jacket and
01:03:04.360
his uh a dream catcher tattoo or whatever the hell it is um but uh yeah he met with her but he
01:03:11.660
wouldn't meet with tamara leach because wrong politics right yeah because she didn't agree with him
01:03:18.480
yeah anyway i i think that's the show for tonight william thanks for doing such great work in
01:03:24.520
ottawa and working so hard all day not only are you paying attention to not only are you paying
01:03:29.900
attention to the commission you are uh door stopping those liberal mps on the streets and you are getting
01:03:37.120
the conservative mps reaction to and you're interviewing commission participants as they come
01:03:43.200
and go i don't know how you're doing it all um you must be close to the commission building
01:03:48.400
logistically speaking i think you are yeah we are pretty close to commission building we got a great
01:03:53.600
team behind here we got mauricio who's here and we've got isabel who's been helping me doing the
01:03:58.620
scrums of the mps as well running after them which is not easy by the way no it's not and it is uh it can
01:04:05.560
be a little nerve-wracking you're speaking truth to power like these are they think of themselves as
01:04:10.060
important people and so in your mind like maybe they're important but then you realize no omar
01:04:15.720
al-jabra is not an important individual at all he's not a shallow man as soon as you meet omar wants
01:04:25.660
you it's not hard to to talk to him afterwards it doesn't take a lot of courage to talk to a small man
01:04:31.120
who isn't able to answer a simple question or as soon as he starts talking he just gets spicy and
01:04:36.560
makes himself look like an idiot i love that he's probably scared to go outside in ottawa because
01:04:44.020
he might run into you anyway i should wrap the show up yeah let's try you probably need to go
01:04:48.500
eat you probably need to go eat because i'm going to get off on a tangent and i'm going to use that
01:04:52.380
nickname that i shouldn't i made it no we're not committed not to use the nickname yeah we've got to
01:04:57.360
be careful now everybody will be back we'll be back here same time tomorrow it's probably going to
01:05:04.300
be me it's probably going to be william and we'll be digesting the day's news from the convoy because
01:05:08.160
i am a go lewd to my computer and my chair all day live tweeting so that's another thing too you can
01:05:16.000
follow the trucker commission on my twitter account at sheila gunrood it's the exactly spelled how you
01:05:21.440

01:05:26.520
it for you so anyway we'll be back here tomorrow will you william thanks so much thanks to the guys
01:05:32.960
