00:02:15.980and then it mirrors itself so uh so this is our debt clock and it is a huge digital screen
00:02:21.500bolted to the side of a very large cube truck i think this thing is like 26 feet long it's more
00:02:27.180than 10 feet high and we drove it all the way out here to ottawa where i'm standing right now
00:02:33.660because of course the federal budget uh was dropped yesterday and in ottawa budget week
00:02:39.740is like a thing. So like all of the econ nerds who like to talk about fungible assets and all
00:02:46.160that stuff that I don't understand. Budget week is a big week. And then they delivered it yesterday.
00:02:51.360Franco Terrazzano, our federal director, who is a frequent guest on the show. He was in lock up for
00:02:56.160hours going over the numbers. And we did this just to remind the politicians and the government that
00:03:01.620we have un-money. We're in massive debt. We do not have money to be spending it like this and to warn
00:03:07.580people about the interest that we're paying on the debt. So it's getting through. We did have a
00:03:12.400really big turnout for our press conference that we had on Sunday to tee up debt, budget, debt week,
00:03:18.080budget week. And so, yeah, we're getting some good impact, getting a lot of visuals in front
00:03:22.180of Parliament Hill. So just reminding people what we owe. Yeah. Reminding people to be on top of it,
00:03:28.560be involved. And of course, the lawmakers. Oh, my goodness. Now, speaking of crunching the numbers
00:03:34.300and everything like that um i want to go to actually one of your posts here because you
00:03:40.200went through some numbers here some scary numbers when it comes to media yeah on the government
00:03:45.720payroll yeah um so prime minister carney is giving the media more of your money and here is what is
00:03:54.340going down in the budget so do you want to do you want me to read through your post or you kind of
00:03:58.800remember it yeah for sure so we're getting 300 million more dollars for the state broadcaster
00:04:03.880for the cbc um people will recall that we already pay around 1.4 billion dollars with the b to the
00:04:12.280cbc so 300 million dollars more um i need to always remind people that uh cbc's uh viewership
00:04:20.040ratings are like rounding errors like like really um for cbc newsworld or whatever they call their
00:04:27.080news channel now it's like two percent two percent of canadians are choosing to watch them
00:04:33.160um and even on their main net say you don't want to watch cbc news and you're you know you want to
00:04:37.880watch nice things like i don't know um downton abbey or something right pick something um even
00:04:43.880wheel of fortune reruns whatever it is um even then they're not breaking four percent for viewership
00:04:50.200for Canadians. So it's really small. Sorry, go ahead. That doesn't surprise me at all. I think
00:04:57.640that people are catching on. And I can't help but be reminded of the last election, you know,
00:05:03.020before Carney Swipton out of nowhere came into the country. And the cheers that Pierre Polyev
00:05:09.760would get when he would say, we're going to defund the CBC. I mean, that was by far his loudest
00:05:15.920applause yeah the media knew their time was close to being up and now we're seeing more 300 million
00:05:23.760extra for the cbc it's the complete opposite what do you make of that tamara well it's it's funding
00:05:29.840propaganda and there's really in my opinion no other way to say it you cannot pay media to do
00:05:35.040their to do their job the government cannot subsidize media and um as i said i should have
00:05:40.240a report coming out on the budget soon but um one of the things i was talking about is you know watch
00:05:44.640with the mainstream media how they're going to report on this budget and then keep in mind how
00:05:49.200they frame it and where their paycheck is coming from and that's going to tell the tale absolutely
00:05:54.800i wanted to stress because uh i'm a trained journalist i went to journalism school i worked
00:06:00.640largely in the mainstream media i was at the ctv parliamentary bureau for years i was the six o'clock
00:06:07.440news producer in ottawa for ctv for years i was a long time member a permanent member of the
00:06:12.560parliamentary press gallery i even worked for cbc for a little while in ottawa it was fine
00:06:18.240like it's no personal thing i have with them the issue here is that a free press is free from
00:06:27.680government from government that means free from government control government influence and
00:06:34.320government funding i put it this way quite often even if the late great god rest his soul rex murphy
00:06:40.960were hosting the cbc news and he was throwing it over to grapes to don cherry for the sports
00:06:46.960would i personally enjoy watching that a little more yeah probably should it get
00:06:52.160one nickel of funding from government absolutely not not agreed so this isn't even about the
00:07:00.320politics this is about the fundamentals of a free press yeah you cannot hold the powerful
00:07:08.320government to account if you are counting on that powerful government for your paycheck
00:07:13.760period no you can't the press simply isn't free and also that it's 501 million for all of the
00:07:22.320other media the rest of the media i think pretty much over 95 percent of something like that
00:07:28.240canadian is in some way taking money from the government and it's you can see almost 28 000
00:07:35.520per reporter yeah almost 28 000 per reporter but if just how much cbc is getting and like you said
00:07:43.680the viewership is so much down but they're getting such a huge chunk of all that too so think of the
00:07:49.280role that they're playing in society for the state even our cultural minister i think he's minister
00:07:54.320of culture mark miller whatever they call him now and uh he refers to it as state financed media
00:08:01.440that's what he actually calls it itself wow i didn't hear that actually media incredible so
00:08:06.560absolutely crazy here you've got another post here that's interesting here this is about journalists
00:08:12.800and basically what you were saying that they should never be paid uh we talked about the 500
00:08:18.560million subsidy so actually we'll move on to your third post here i think um which is the cbc
00:08:24.640affordability we've got a clip here from the coin clip can we play that one the first indication we
00:08:33.760got that something was kind of odd was this revelation that the deficit for last year 26 20
00:08:38.64026 uh was not 67 billion which we were told six months ago but 39 billion dollars this extraordinary
00:08:45.600revision uh well it got even odder when you looked at it and they projected forward in time and you
00:08:50.480You see the same revisions in spending and revenues, much higher spending than they thought, much lower spending than they thought, much higher revenues than they thought.
00:08:58.160So you think, okay, well, maybe the same error will work in our favor on the deficit this time.
00:09:01.720No, the deficit's exactly the same as it was, or more or less exactly the same.
00:09:05.420They took that revenue windfall, that spending windfall, and they spent virtually all of it at a time when economists are practically begging them, would you please get serious about the deficit and the debt?
00:09:16.800It's not a crisis now, but before it becomes a crisis.
00:09:19.680But there's very little on that front.
00:09:21.160There's very little on the productivity front.
00:09:23.400It's just more or less the same as that last budget last year, which was such a disappointment.
00:09:27.660But would you say, and I'll get to everybody in a moment,
00:09:29.620would you say, Andrew, though, that any of that new spending is needed?
00:09:32.600You know, because Canadians are feeling the pinch of things and housing is an issue
00:10:06.140Andrew Coyne, I haven't seen him lately, but he was very quite consistent when they were saying we're going to start putting media on government payroll.
00:10:14.100he said this is a conflict of interest directly and that this shouldn't happen so again this isn't
00:10:19.160about politics it's about a free press and it's about the money um and so credit where it's due
00:10:25.140he did say this is a conflict of interest and it shouldn't happen but the reason why i highlighted
00:10:30.140that clip is because everything you saw in that frame okay the the tv cameras the lights the
00:10:37.960microphone if they were in the cbc ottawa studio i couldn't tell it looked like it everything in
00:10:43.420behind you the people talking because talking heads on cbc get paid per hit to do that in the
00:10:51.640background the people just working in the background are getting extra money in the
00:10:55.420background are like producers and stuff sure sure no no no the talking heads who like i'll like that
00:11:00.160those two people get paid for appearances oh not like you kim you're here for free you're the free
00:11:07.620press right yes yes we wouldn't accept money if he offered it right so this is the issue um and so0.88
00:11:14.420i wanted to stress to people that see this this debt 1.3 trillion dollars in debt we have un
00:11:21.460money un money right every dollar that the government is taking from taxpayers and now
00:11:26.820handing to media regardless of that journalist political persuasions i don't give a toot about
00:11:32.180that okay um they're giving money there that is borrowed money plus interest borrowed money plus
00:11:38.860interest the interest on this debt is costing people a billion dollars a week a week that is
00:11:48.120the equivalent my friends of building a brand new hospital every saturday but instead of moving in
00:11:54.260the patients and the doctors everybody stand back tear it down over and over and over every saturday
00:12:00.220night all year that's what we're wasting on interest and yet we're going to give the media
00:12:06.660more money like this makes no sense whatsoever and key this is key the taxpayers federation we
00:12:13.660push for accountable government and how do you hold the government to account if you don't have
00:12:19.960a free press that's a huge part of being able to speak truth to power is having a free press
00:12:27.140um black locks does not take money rebel does not take money juno does not take money credit
00:12:33.980where it's due canadaland does not take money okay they're more of on the left side of the
00:12:39.300podcast spectrum like there are some and of course lots of podcasters there are some
00:12:44.060plucky independent sources of media still that aren't taking government money but my goodness
00:12:48.860it is dwindling small group of people here in canada and it makes you think what are they
00:12:53.800teaching in journalism school we always hear this oh rebel news not real news not real news
00:12:58.900I don't see any criticism from I guess those who like the leftist media whatever you want to call
00:13:06.720it talking about this issue that the press is no longer free anymore and when you think of the
00:13:13.000coverage of even the trucker convoy and how it could have been different for you to bear in your
00:13:18.380outcome like what would that have been like you think if the press was free with everything that
00:13:23.280you went through and are still going through well i mean that's exactly it it was quite clear
00:13:28.960obviously from us on the ground um how they were framing this in the narrative that they were
00:13:34.080trying to portray i mean we have videos of the cbc setting up outside but turning their cameras
00:13:39.440to where you know the crowd was very sparse as opposed towards parliament hill where there was
00:13:43.680you know smiles hugs lots of happiness and um we actually have i've spoken to so many people as
00:13:50.560far away from british columbia who were watching the news and didn't believe what they were seeing
00:13:55.520and came to ottawa during that time to see it for themselves and thank goodness uh for citizen
00:14:00.560journalists for rebel news for showing up um and all the independent journalists that showed up
00:14:05.040that actually showed the real story because you are not being paid to parrot a narrative um which
00:14:11.280is something that i personally will always be grateful for absolutely and i've said this before
00:14:16.000we live stream too I mean we get all hands on deck on big situations like the convoy or even
00:14:21.800the ostrich farm um one year ago during call night and we live stream so the people are basically
00:14:28.320there they're seeing what's happening we don't have time to concoct anything oh should I put
00:14:31.820my camera over here and and block out that we're showing you in real time that is the news uh we
00:14:38.660have another clip yep go on oh I just wanted to ask Chris I just want to ask Chris so in that
00:14:43.060clip with Andrew Coyne he's saying you know this is where I debt 1.3 trillion it's not a crisis
00:14:47.420yet I mean I think 1.3 million in debt is a bit of a crisis yeah what do you think it's going to
00:14:52.900take for these guys to recognize that we do have a debt crisis because it's projected to reach 1.6
00:14:58.460trillion yes so I always try to look for the silver lining the fact that they were even talking
00:15:05.080about the debt on the CBC at issue panel that's a win like legit that's a win to have that
00:15:11.720break through the narrative because there's lots of other stuff I'm sure they talked about that day
00:15:15.860but for them to bring that up and talk about that actual number 1.3 trillion which is the accurate
00:15:21.320number that's good yeah like that matters because there's still lots of folks that'll be watching
00:15:26.820that show right so that's good to get that out there and then the press gallery watches it and
00:15:31.180then it filters out so I was thrilled actually when I heard them talking about that to the point
00:15:36.860of crisis okay um finance minister and then eventual liberal prime minister liberal prime
00:15:44.560minister paul martin um he was he's largely credited with slaying the deficit okay balancing
00:15:51.080the budget making that clock go in reverse start paying down the debt he's quoted as saying and i'm0.99
00:15:58.660paraphrasing him um that damn clock that damn clock i can't get these numbers this clock out of my0.98
00:16:05.620head so we must we must slay the deficit credit also where it's due at the time reform party0.99
00:16:13.180leader preston manning was up there at the time finance critic monty salberg with reform and
00:16:18.940the canadian alliance they were really pushing on things like deficit and debt um and back then
00:16:24.060our debt clock was literally a converted like livestock trailer it was a metal trailer that
00:16:29.280had like physical you know like uh clock radios with those digital like blocks and it had all
00:16:34.860numbers in it um we had to get a new one because we never think we never thought it would go over
00:16:39.660a trillion so we had to go to the digital screen the reason why i'm telling this story is because
00:16:44.140it was from the mid 90s and back then yeah things were things were a bit worse in the sense that i
00:16:52.460could be corrected but i'm almost certain i'm right our credit rating was taking a bigger hit
00:16:57.420there were some other factors economic factors that i'm not able to explain because i'm not an
00:17:02.700economists that were worse then than they are now but we are careening in the dark at full speed
00:17:12.460towards that crisis point and i think that's what coin was referencing because he's been in the game
00:17:18.380for a long time he would remember what paul martin was doing when he was working to balance the
00:17:23.340budget and start paying down the debt so i could kind of sense even by his tone i think that's what
00:17:28.320he was referencing but boy we are getting close like yeah 2 000 bucks a second a second that's
00:17:35.340horrifying what's truly concerning is that they have no plan like if they were saying i know
00:17:43.240just give us another minute we'll start the diet after christmas scouts honor we'll start going to
00:17:48.840the gym after easter it's fine there's no after christmas or after easter plan here they're not
00:17:54.020saying we're going to spend cash to make money just now and we'll start balancing in the next
00:17:58.580few years and paying down that debt and stop going over budget there's no plan like that's not okay
00:18:05.540that is not okay so we're just earnestly calling for everybody to email the prime minister
00:18:11.620and appeal to him say this is a crisis we cannot afford this anymore we have got to
00:18:17.780quit going over budget and wasting so much money yeah well we have another clip even from the cbc
00:18:25.140discussing basically the the answer to your question at least coming from them uh what can
00:18:30.180be done they say the canadians are willing to give the government and its prime minister a lot of room
00:18:36.180to try things for now well our hands are pretty much tied but let's listen to them discussing
00:18:41.780what can be done this budget pledges to protect economic sovereignty and canadian identity it's
00:18:48.340even called masters of our own destiny uh rosemary uh how is the government going to be selling this
00:18:54.900budget to canadians well i mean i think i think you both hit on one of the key sort of challenges
00:19:00.420and that is the things that canadians are worried about right now are immediate and practical and
00:19:06.820need sort of immediate response. So yes, they've increased the grocery benefit they introduced back
00:19:13.040in July. Peter says they've promised $11 billion for housing and for non-market housing. So those
00:19:21.380things will help. Of course, they had already decided to continue with the pause on the federal
00:19:26.080excise tax. So it's not as though there's nothing there. But I think that some people will be
00:19:32.000disappointed that there is not more there and and then the piece that that peter is talking about
00:19:37.320which of course is important and speaks to sort of the future strength of the canadian economy
00:19:42.900in the country is much harder to kind of wrap your your mind around and your hands around
00:19:48.400to understand how that's going to work out for you um and i i think that's going to be kind of
00:19:54.260a communications challenge for the government and a political challenge for the government
00:19:58.900They are going to have to explain how those things will eventually help the country.
00:20:05.780The benefit, I guess, politically, though, Ian, is that they have a lot of political capital.
00:20:11.200You know, the Canadians are willing to give this government and this prime minister a lot of room to try things, for now, anyway.
00:20:18.520So if they can get some of those big pieces moving, you know,
00:20:22.780maybe Canadians will be able to start to see how it is helping them in their everyday lives.
00:20:27.920All right, Chris, I saw you shake your head there.
00:20:55.260Every now and then, MNP does a great survey.
00:20:57.440And it's close to half, close to half of people are within $200 every month of insolvency, of not being able to make the minimum payments on their debt.
00:21:07.920So for normal working people outside of the Ottawa terrarium, no, I'm not hearing a lot of room.
00:21:13.960And what's concerning here, OK, again, the debt, the interest on the debt costs you, all of you listening, $1,400 personally per year.
00:21:25.660every man woman and child population based in canada so not just taxpayers for the taxpayer
00:21:32.200it's higher but per population one thousand four hundred dollars that's just the interest
00:21:39.260on the debt well i just i just did a quick search i just did a quick search and it tells me that
00:21:45.620a child born in canada is essentially born already owing 35 uh over 35 thousand dollars
00:21:52.960we got it based at 32 that's your share 32 000 so that baby first born wow absolutely wild so
00:22:02.360i understand if you're looking at the long-term projection and jet debt to gdp and all the econ
00:22:08.620nerds that get in on this but at the end of the day they can slice it and dice it however they
00:22:13.580want they can say it's operating they can say it's capital they can say it's an investment
00:22:17.800instead of spending at the end of the day this is the number that matters are you overspending
00:22:23.580what you're taking in yes are they ever planning on stopping that no no who's paying for it we all
00:22:33.600are like if we were in the situation like norway okay who has a sovereign wealth fund basically
00:22:40.880they have trillions with a t plural us dollars basically in a piggy bank i would not be up in
00:22:48.960arms about a lot of this stuff but we're in the opposite situation we have un-money and they're
00:22:55.100still acting as if there's some big investment banker wheeling around their own cash and they
00:23:02.180don't they're not and they don't have the cash they've got our wallets yes this is the result
00:23:07.800this is the result digging into the debt and desk let's say a little bit more we have a video here
00:23:13.900from franco tarzano about the 60 billion plus borrowed this year alone let's take a look at that
00:23:22.400breaking the national finances folks breaking news carney just released his federal budget
00:23:30.420let me tell you it is a debt disaster budget 2026 continues the borrowing spree interest
00:23:37.160charges on the debt cost taxpayers more than a billion dollars every week. Folks, buckle up,
00:23:43.000here are the numbers, okay? The federal government, the Carney government is borrowing more than 60
00:23:48.760billion dollars this year. More than 60 billion dollars of borrowing this year. The government
00:23:55.080is going to borrow tens of billions of dollars every year. Don't even listen to a spin about
00:23:59.880balancing the operating budget, folks. The government is not balancing squat. It is borrowing
00:24:05.400tens of billions of dollars every year more than 60 billion dollars this year okay from the end of
00:24:11.4802025 to 2031 287 billion dollars to the debt gross and remember folks every single dollar
00:24:21.880the government borrows you gotta pay interest on it okay look at the interest charges 60 billion
00:24:28.840dollars this year okay that means interest cost taxpayers more than a billion dollars every week
00:24:35.400Well, that's enough money to build a brand new hospital.
00:30:09.520is that the a new book is that that was so fast what exactly the budget we're looking at
00:30:21.640I'm sorry, I have like this disclaimer up on my computer that's blocking half the screen.
00:30:27.380That's okay. It was the budget. They were both holding it.
00:30:29.840Yeah, it charts its own destiny. What do you think of that, Tamara?
00:30:35.060Well, I think our colleague, Sheila Gunn-Reed, tweeted most aptly this morning that it's the masters of our own dumpster fire budget.
00:30:43.180And of course, I watched this yesterday and, you know, I couldn't help but think, you know,
00:30:48.900there's, you know, all the Liberals are getting up and clapping and clapping after everything
00:30:52.580that he had to say, just like a bunch of trained SEALs.
00:30:55.100You know, this is going to impact everyday Canadians, as Chris was saying earlier.
00:31:01.020And I have an inkling that, you know, our Prime Minister, as soon as his tenure here
00:31:05.280is done, he's going to fly back to the UK.
00:31:07.240So none of this is going to affect him in the long term.
00:31:10.500it's us our families our children and our grandchildren uh that are going to be paying
00:31:16.380for this reckless spending absolutely we have more from polyev here on the 2.3 billion to friend
00:31:24.500dan goldberg's teslat so a little bit more from him on that with this oh we just saw that we did
00:31:30.480see that um okay so cbc let's go to the next one line number 10 and it's more on the 62
00:31:40.480$2.3 billion deficit and the new measures surrounding that.
00:31:49.300Okay, so this one is, so we've got seven takeaways from the Kearney government's second budget.
00:31:57.600Let's talk about, see if there's any real quick that we haven't really gone through.
00:32:02.220so the whole plan is being backed by a 11.2 billion dollar commitment over the next four
00:32:12.780years including 3.6 billion to build supportive and transitional housing and 1.8 billion toward
00:32:19.780mental health addictions and social supports so this is the breakdown of the plan in different
00:32:25.180areas the government is also committing 2 billion over the next two years to build mental health
00:32:30.740and addictions facilities. Let's hope there's emphasis on recovery there. The Trudeau government
00:32:38.280had promised to reduce chronic homelessness by 50% by 2030, though the Parliamentary Budget
00:32:46.000Office reported in 2024 that the government was falling short of that goal, you think? That report
00:32:53.340acknowledged that the COVID-declared pandemic likely presented unexpected challenges.
00:32:59.320i mean we're that's another thing i we are still suffering from what happened during lockdowns and
00:33:06.460beyond including our businesses um actually i'd like to ask you about that chris are we ever even
00:33:12.900going to get out of the mess that happened from how we had the knee-jerk reaction to that situation
00:33:18.540uh the main issue that we had uh with that is the um the freezing of the bank accounts with the uh
00:33:27.720with the Emergencies Act. Because if you have the government, as two levels of courts have said,
00:33:36.320overstating and overstepping its bounds and freezing bank accounts, then you are intruding
00:33:43.200on people's own privacy and you are limiting their ability to express themselves. And at the
00:33:49.080Taxpayers Federation, we're always encouraging people to speak up for themselves, to speak truth
00:33:54.460the power, to stand up and be heard is even one of our slogans. And so we did come out quite
00:34:00.520strongly on that. The rest of it isn't really within our mandate of lower taxes, less waste,
00:34:04.720accountable government. But we were speaking out against the Emergencies Act for sure.
00:34:10.020I'm sorry, but I really do need to go because I need to go. There are some updated budget numbers
00:34:15.220that I have to put into our system, like physically that haven't been put into the system yet. So I do
00:34:20.380need to jet but I hope that this has been a good update for you ladies here it has been so much
00:34:26.600this let oh she really had to jet well thank you she was so good to walk us through that
00:34:31.560so again that's Chris Sims with the Canadian Taxpayer Federation you can follow her online
00:34:37.080very easily I'm sure she is the Alberta director they do great work across the country as you
00:34:42.700could see from that Ottawa clip so how depressing yeah I just want to say you know going back to
00:34:49.560that previous clip that you were just showing or that news article where they're going to eradicate
00:34:53.760homelessness within 10 years. But then when you look at the numbers of the new immigrants that
00:34:58.960they're going to be bringing in, I mean, we don't have that infrastructure here even in place yet.
00:35:03.060So how can we be talking? 200,000 temporary residents are just going to get an automatic,
00:35:08.120they're automatically going to be granted a permanent resident status. And I believe that's
00:35:11.720on top of 380,000 new immigrants that they want to bring in. But we just simply don't have
00:35:19.500the housing infrastructure for it now last year we heard mark carney talk about you know building
00:35:24.460homes they're going to build faster they're going to do this faster than we've seen in generations
00:35:28.620but that has not manifested um he's been our prime minister for almost two years now we're coming
00:35:33.820into uh 2027 here soon um and there's still nothing has been done so i don't understand
00:35:41.100how they can be you know parroting this we're going to end homelessness but at the same time
00:35:44.540they're bringing in all these new uh people into our country without having the existing
00:35:48.940infrastructure to support that already. Yep, actually that same article talks a little bit1.00
00:35:53.680about what Canada is aiming to do with immigration. It says Canada is aiming to admit
00:35:58.800370,000 temporary residents, 380,000 permanent residents per year over the next three years,
00:36:08.580and these targets line up with the numbers released in last year's budget. So they're
00:36:13.840still planning to move forward, but you're right, what is the actual plan for that?
00:36:17.160Another little interesting thing is it looks like they're considering giving us more time to file our taxes, which I'd appreciate, actually, and considering a new tax filing date.
00:36:43.100Is that likely to happen even with a new government in a few years?
00:36:47.160I mean, there has to be some serious cuts. And, you know, I do appreciate what she was saying about how they're just not taking this seriously. And they're not taking it seriously. Like I said, as soon as you're born, you already owe $35,000 to the government, just for your share of the debt. That's just to come into this world, just to be born. They have to, we got to stop this reckless spending. As I said, this is affecting us, everyday Canadians, it's going to affect your children, it's going to affect your grandchildren.
00:37:14.420children, and they are going to be the ones that are paying the price for this.
00:37:18.120Not Mark Carney, not Mark Miller, you know, not Dominic LeBlanc, none of these people.
00:40:07.520I said a different topic, but actually there's some interesting stuff here.
00:40:10.980If we just sit a little bit longer when we look at what's happening with the immigration,
00:40:15.800MP Michelle Rempel with the Conservatives is actually kind of calling the bluff on the Liberal governments between how they're sort of packaging things to the public and what's really going on.
00:44:26.760And the other thing I wanted to say, and this is the one thing that I was happy to see,
00:44:31.040is that they are adding some additional money to the vaccine impact assistance program.
00:44:36.600i believe it's 17.5 million dollars um you know i of course i have a huge advocate for helping our
00:44:44.080injured and canadians and so i i was encouraged to see this i really really hope though that it's
00:44:49.440going to make it down to the people that need it the most yeah without the struggle i remember the
00:44:54.420one story that i covered um of a lady named fran and her mother dropped dead after taking moderna
00:45:01.960within the 15 minute waiting period. I mean, there should have been no friction. This was 100%
00:45:07.900from the jab. She should have got what was owed to her to help with the cost of the funeral,0.87
00:45:13.500et cetera. It took her, I believe, 10 months to get anything from that. And she had gone around
00:45:20.340to media after media. She had never heard of Rebel News. And an MP said to her, she went to an MP
00:45:26.160and the MP said, the only people who are ever going to touch the story is Rebel News. That's
00:45:30.580how she found out about us and uh we helped give some exposure and then finally got she got some
00:45:35.720attention for her mom dropping dead right after the jab um so yeah you're right i'm happy to see
00:45:42.660that money's going in there but it also speaks to the fact that there is a need and even the
00:45:47.020government can't pretend that there is no need they're not closing the file we were told it was
00:45:52.080conspiracy conspiracy to even say that there are people getting injured from it so um so yeah
00:45:58.360definite need there going on here so we'll switch uh lanes just a little bit before we end just a
00:46:04.360couple of crazy things in canada of course there always is um we have um mp andrew lawton he talks
00:46:14.920about uh a motion uh that was blocked by the liberal government and this is a long overdue
00:46:21.960first of all i'm i'm happy to finally see this coming out of the conservatives and that was to
00:46:27.160probe to properly investigate what the heck has been happening happening with the mass church
00:46:34.220burnings across the country if this has been any other religion this wouldn't even be up for debate
00:46:40.700but uh if you click here and we look here what happened well the carney liberals well they
00:46:48.200blocked the motion to study canadian church arsons because yeah that's not important at all
00:46:54.600All Liberals on the House of Commons Heritage, every single one, including those floor crossers, voted against a motion to investigate vandalism, arsons and other attacks on places of worship in Canada.
00:47:10.180So, it's places of worship in general, but we know the bulk of that is the churches. Since the false 215 unmarked grave discovery claim was made, we've seen well over 130 churches be burnt or vandalized across the country.0.98
00:47:30.380and the liberals are saying no we don't want to probe into that um and the conservatives were
00:47:36.920saying you know it is time so on october 29th during debate in the house of commons um conservative
00:47:43.540mp andrew lawton made the motion to undertake a study of no fewer than eight meetings just eight
00:47:50.240meetings that's all he's asking about like can we just have eight meetings to really figure out
00:47:53.580what's going on here on the vandalism arson shootings let's not forget what's happening
00:47:58.500at synagogues as well and other criminal attacks against places of worship in canada these are
00:48:04.580communities doing great things helping out where the government isn't helping out whether it be
00:48:09.620the poor or low-income families they're getting shot at the burnt vandalized and the liberal
00:48:16.100government doesn't think that's an important enough cause to look into no of course and and
00:48:21.540you know as you were just saying if it was a mosque for example or you know rampant mosque
00:48:26.420burnings um we would all be told uh to reflect we you know it would be classified as a hate crime
00:48:34.020and here we are because they're because they're christian churches i mean i i just i don't
00:48:38.980understand why they wouldn't even want to study this why they you know why they don't want to get
00:48:42.580to the bottom of why this is happening and to your point yes of course as soon as the news from
00:48:47.060kamloops came out um they rapidly rapidly increased so it's really disappointing um that they're that
00:48:54.740that they're not even willing to have a look at this yeah and then after october 7th that's when
00:48:59.680we started to see the rise in attacks against the synagogues too which we've covered as well
00:49:04.120what does this say to those canadians who are impacted in these communities more important
00:49:10.240question what does it say to the people doing it what does it say to the people who are getting
00:49:15.600away with this you know um our colleague alexa lavaw did a great job investigating um that that
00:49:23.320the more recent church that was burned down oh i want to say new brunswick i believe it was in
00:49:28.400new brunswick correct me if i'm wrong sorry anyway i think you're right i think it was
00:49:33.060new brunswick yeah she investigated that guy was basically infiltrating in that church he was
00:49:39.740connected to a radical group right out here in british columbia columbia basically marxists
00:49:45.580and stuff and they're taking down this church and as it's burning he's saying oh yeah we're getting
00:49:50.440what we want in the voice. What message does it say to people like that, psychos, who are going
00:49:55.460and burning these communities, shooting at them, and what are they going to do next? The liberals0.94
00:50:02.320don't care. I guess as somebody that has been tried and convicted of mischief and currently
00:50:09.320serving an 18-month sentence for mischief, you're asking the wrong person. I mean, make it make
00:50:17.380sense i mean like we've talked about so many times before there's all these crimes happening
00:50:22.740out there you know there nobody's been arrested for any of these church burnings to my knowledge
00:50:27.460you please correct me if i'm wrong um you know and here's chris barber and i um just two regular
00:50:32.980canadians who you know wanted to just ask our government some questions and have a conversation
00:50:37.940and here we are locked up in our homes for 18 months uh over a mischief charge which is essentially
00:50:44.340in any other case a slap on the wrist or a small fine or you know maybe a few months of probation
00:50:50.900so exactly what does that say there's absolutely no deterrent here and um you know as you know we
00:50:57.700were just recently in court to try and get a variation order to my condition so that i could
00:51:01.620travel for for work with rebel news yeah and um you know the judge made a point of saying you
00:51:06.900that they wouldn't they weren't going to let me do that because it wouldn't it would make my
00:51:11.140sentence seem less denunciatory what is this what message is this sending to people that are
00:51:16.900actually out there uh committing arson uh committing robbery um assaulting people in
00:51:22.980broad daylight i mean there was just that lady a couple days ago or earlier this week that caught
00:51:28.020was caught on video i believe it was in toronto that just randomly punched uh you know a passerby
00:51:34.100so so where is the deterrent for them then right and this is the message that they're sending in
00:51:39.380canada if you're a 54 year old uh peaceful grandmother um accused of mischief uh they're
00:51:46.260gonna throw the book at you but if you go and burn a church down um by all means we don't we
00:51:51.220don't want to see we don't want to know we don't want to hear oh my gosh you know i've covered a
00:51:55.940handful like even a handful is too much to say i think i've covered about three arrests granted
00:52:02.420it's hard to keep up with all of the situations but what i have found is most of them just remain
00:52:07.780suspicious i don't know if the investigation it seems like it's just not a priority and that's
00:52:14.340again what these people who are doing it are noticing uh it's a real attack i think on our
00:52:22.020christian judeo values that have made our country strong i think it's actually an attack against
00:52:27.300canada when you see this stuff happening um that and and nobody cares about it i think we'll end
00:52:33.860with it's almost like ending with a cringe dare i say but this is where is that article here um
00:52:44.020this is basically do we have that that post of how many uh how do i say this we're live we got
00:52:52.180to be careful here but in the after the midterms how many trans identifying people um have now
00:53:01.300become lawmakers do we have that there i'd love to talk about that a little bit it was so shocking
00:53:06.020i shared the post and so many people were saying to me um if not you can get it on my most recent
00:53:11.940ex post if we don't actually have the article but so many people were saying to me like drea this is
00:53:16.500a joke right like this this isn't real and i'm like no this is absolutely real i'm putting it
00:53:23.940in the chat and i'll read the heading here um so it's the democrats it says uh men who won as women
00:53:33.540in the midterms can we just take a look this is quite shocking um do you have it yet there we go
00:53:42.580there we go that's what i'm talking about here so at least eight eight that we know of um this is
00:53:49.220got to be a record of all records this has to be a world record uh many of this this is the
00:53:54.660situation the first time trans identifying people um who actually won and my comment was the first
00:54:03.220thing i thought when i saw this is it took me back i won't say how many years ago but to when
00:54:08.500i was in university and um in sociology they would talk about the glass ceiling and they they would0.71
00:54:14.900really drilling your head that because you're a woman, you know, society is so full of misogyny1.00
00:54:21.120that you're going to hit this glass ceiling. It doesn't matter how capable you are. You're going1.00
00:54:25.060to hit there. You're never going to be able to surpass males when you get to these roles. And
00:54:29.140I used to look at that as a young woman and go, this is crap. I'll be able to do whatever I want0.99
00:54:32.960to do. That was my attitude. But then I look at this and I'm like, oh my gosh, maybe there is a
00:54:39.660glass ceiling going on here because these are the women these are the women who are women
00:54:46.300what do you lord help me with this tamara i i i got nothing i really got nothing i don't know
00:54:56.440what to tell you um i mean we live in a country where the head of our public health agency can't
00:55:01.680even define what a woman is they won't even say pregnant woman they have to say pregnant people
00:55:06.820even in the budget you saw um uh an allotment in the budget for tampons and men's rostrums for
00:55:13.060menstruating people or people who menstruate i mean we we are dealing with a government that
00:55:18.460can't even say the word woman or give a give a definition of what a woman actually is i mean
00:55:23.560yeah it's insanity our our head whoever replaced theresa tam i forget her name she can't say what
00:55:29.600a woman is our head chief medical officer medical officer but just look at something isn't right
00:55:35.140here okay and i'm not saying oh because they're trans i'm saying because of statistics because
00:55:39.860in north america the average trans non or the figure of who identifies as trans or non-binary
00:55:46.660is something like 0.33 i think it's on the rise as it's the cool thing to do um but even if it's
00:55:56.500double how on earth do you have that many who have won what the heck is going on exactly exactly
00:56:05.140oh my gosh I can't help you Drea I mean I can't make sense of it myself I don't know how you
00:56:10.620explain the unexplainable well I'm sure it's coming to Canada soon so anyways well that was
