00:01:18.220the different intro sound and the graphics behind us that it is Wednesday, which means it's Western
00:01:24.260Wednesdays. And that means the Buffalo panel. And I'm joined today by my real life best friend. What
00:01:29.220a delight to be able to work with your best friend from Regina, Saskatchewan, Lise Merle. Lise, how's

00:01:44.840a great conversation coming up about western issues yes uh before we get into that i'll tell
00:01:50.140everybody what we're doing and then we'll bring in my uh long-suffering colleague over at alberta
00:01:55.080fact check on the panel so if you're watching us on rumble excellent free speech platform
00:01:59.820if you want to support the work that we do over here at rebel news out of the goodness of your

00:02:22.140paid comment called a super thanks. So we're starting a little bit late. So let's get right
00:02:27.820into it. Let's bring in our panelist, Western Standard columnist, also columnist over at the
00:02:34.160Epoch Times, a gentleman with a third party advertiser in his own right during the Alberta
00:02:40.160referendum campaign and my early morning Alberta fact check buddy, Corey Morgan. Corey, how's it
00:02:46.180going? Oh, good, good. Yeah, glad you all laid it out. I despise having free time, it appears.
00:02:52.260Yeah, me too. It's very satisfying, though, and there's lots to cover, that's for sure.
00:02:56.940Yeah, before we went on air, I was like, you know, Elise and I were talking about a little
00:03:00.960project that maybe we should take on, and I thought, who has time for this? Not me, but
00:03:05.740what, you know, what's the difference between getting up at three in the morning and five in
00:03:09.500the morning. I mean, really. No sleep is no sleep. Just a time zone, girlfriend. It's just a time
00:03:14.260zone. I'm like, I just operate in different time zones. That's it. Yeah. Let's get right into the
00:03:20.060news of the day. This is something that Corey, well, we'll get into the first thing. And it's
00:03:25.800something that Corey and I have covered over at AlbertaFactCheck.com, wherein we round up the
00:03:30.560lies and the half-truths and the misinformation from the night before on the referendum campaign,
00:03:35.500and then we do our best to debunk it in digestible news articles.
00:03:40.720Apparently, we're, and we talked about this yesterday,
00:03:45.380as Albertans too stupid to get mad about the inequities of Confederation on our own.
00:03:51.140And so apparently we need Alexei in Leningrad to do it for us.
00:03:55.060And so Albertans have been targeted by pro-separatism influence campaigns
00:04:03.880um with possible possible possible links to russia and they're being amplified um
00:04:11.340and she said this uh speaking to focus punjabi on omni tv and i think we have a clip of that
00:04:18.360so let's show it oh oh olivia needs a second to bring it up but um i knew i knew this would be
00:04:26.940sort of the the track of where this was going because that's like the new you're a nazi well
00:04:32.520that doesn't work anymore. I work for a Jewish owned company. And I've been to Israel three
00:04:37.940times. And I'm a bit of a, you know, Israelophile. So that's the next thing, right? It's like, oh,
00:04:45.360you know, Russia, Russia's convinced you to be a third generation separatist, they managed to go
00:04:50.700back in time and convince my grandfather that separatism was the way to go. This is the clip
00:04:56.140from Omni TV. Premier, how concerned are you about Russia and US linked groups influencing
00:05:03.620Alberta's separatist debate? Well, I can tell you that we've gotten, I've got my security briefing
00:05:11.440from CSIS and we get regular briefings from the RCMP. And so what we're seeing right now is that
00:05:16.920there's nothing out there that has elevated to a level of criminal involvement in our process,
00:05:23.980But we are seeing influence campaigns.
00:05:26.760There is a group called CIFR that is an electronic monitoring entity that is seeing that there is various shares of information online that appear to be amplified by different bot farms that may have a link to Russia, which is something that does leave us concerned.
00:05:50.200So what we do say is people just need to, before they believe everything they read on social media, they need to check the source and to verify and to make sure that they're not sharing things and inadvertently amplifying a message that is being used to try to interfere in our contest.
00:06:08.560I trust that Albertans are able to do that research.
00:06:11.660I trust that they can identify sources that are credible and sources that are not.
00:06:16.060But we have to make sure that that information is available so that people are not inadvertently sharing things that they wish they didn't.
00:06:24.260Oh, looks like Nikolai and Vladivostok strikes again.
00:06:29.180I have yet to see any of these Russian influence campaigns.
00:06:33.560And part of what I do is pay attention to the social media regarding the referendum.
00:06:40.680Pretty sure rise of Alberta and Keith Wilson's let Alberta decide campaign is not being influenced by Russia. And I think those are the two largest influencers in this campaign. If it's just some guy sitting behind a computer sharing Facebook memes who incidentally happens to be in Russia, I'm not concerned about the impact that he's having on this campaign. Go ahead, Corey.
00:07:06.180yeah they're desperate to bring up the narrative of foreign interference they know that if they can
00:07:11.320bring fear into people i mean that's how the liberals won last year too they brought up the
00:07:15.160big bad boogeyman south of the border let's all rally the troops it doesn't matter how bad policy
00:07:19.700is it doesn't matter how terrible things are as long as we stop that that nasty foreign influence
00:07:24.560from coming in and harming us there they think they can get traction from it and they haven't
00:07:29.260been able to find evidence so that there was a as i wrote in that fact check part this morning and
00:07:33.640we covered that before cbc did that big long piece about all these foreign influencers and the best
00:07:39.460they could find was a noodle vendor in indonesia who made 14 on facebook this is is not a big
00:07:47.800campaign if they could find a smoking gun you know they'd be all over it so all they could do is
00:07:52.520maybe possibly could we're watching for be careful of and there's just a great big nothing burger
00:08:00.200the same foreign influencers are also as i said in my fact check today you know they're pushing
00:08:06.020porn sites and timu as well they're agnostic about what they push they're just looking for traffic
00:08:11.140yeah um i'm frankly more concerned when i think about foreign influence especially in alberta
00:08:19.380politics uh calistani separatists organizing their own referendum on canadian soil like that
00:08:24.900seems to be something we might have wanted to have remarked about um considering the terrorist
00:08:30.340ties to calistani separatism um but that sort of just like went by the wayside nobody really paid
00:08:35.400any attention to it um all of a sudden now we're worried about indonesian noodle vendors uh
00:08:40.720convincing your grandma that uh separatism is the way to go like it's just it's so insulting to the
00:08:47.660intelligence of the people who are part of the independence movement that they can't figure this
00:08:53.780stuff out on their own. Yeah. And I would just like to go back to what she said. You know,
00:08:58.140she stressed that people should check their sources and verify information and then quotes
00:09:03.540the RCMP and CSIS as her source. Now, I dare you to give me two more discredited institutions
00:09:14.260in the country than these two who have been almost completely DEI driven for at least
00:09:20.560the past six seven eight years and that's who danielle smith is trusting for this information
00:09:27.580so i don't know i don't know if i purely trust what the rcmp and csis is telling her well that's
00:09:33.460the thing these are these are the two alphabet agencies that we're supposed to trust there
00:09:37.620really aren't any others but uh they seem to be uh not all that shit hot on catching terrorists
00:09:44.980and terrorist plots uh we repeatedly get tipped off about these from foreign governments so
00:09:52.340i'm not sure if their thumb is on the pulse of this movement because they dedicated their
00:09:57.060entire workforce to dei hiring they hired people with disabilities for six years this is who's
00:10:02.000deciding that the russia propagandists are good again i mean do we believe them and sorry cory
00:10:07.260go ahead yeah oh no i was just saying like premier smith referenced both of those agencies but
00:10:11.320actually if you look at any official communications that have come out of them both have said there
00:10:15.200isn't any foreign interference they've said we're watching for it that's all they said they gave
00:10:20.020nenshi a form letter saying yes we understand it's a concern but we don't see any so i you know just
00:10:27.200mentioning those two names and not going further made it sound as if they're investigating something
00:10:31.420no they've actually repeatedly said there's nothing to see here we're keeping an eye open
00:10:36.680because that's our job right yes that is true that i'm glad you brought up the nenshi form
00:10:41.700letter where they're where nenshi uh highlighted but i believe purposefully redacted the most
00:10:49.160relevant portion of it is that yeah we keep an eye on these things we're not seeing it but we
00:10:53.240will continue to look and so yeah but what we're hearing from danielle smith is now they're telling
00:10:58.400her oh well there's this group that's tying together some alleged pieces from from so are
00:11:04.700they are they investigating it now because nenshi sort of insinuated they should that was cypher
00:11:11.920which is uh an app that was created by a college or university think tank that scrapes the net and
00:11:19.940then combines and comes up with what they feel might be foreign bots working on things
00:11:24.780didn't even pronounce the name of the app properly uh much less you know again it has nothing to do
00:11:31.000with CSIS or the RCMP. I imagine if a safer group found anything of substance, they would forward it
00:11:37.500to those authorities. But yeah, that's all this is really coming from. Interesting. Okay. Thanks
00:11:41.860for breaking that down for us, Cori. That's why we have Cori on the show. There's this other story
00:11:47.180here. Elections Alberta is openly soliciting help from other jurisdictions to carry out the fall
00:11:52.480referendum. They say that they have invited senior staff and experienced electoral staff from all
00:11:58.260across the country to carry out october's referendum i sure hope we don't get the people
00:12:03.320who lost the ballot boxes in bc and then the people from uh quebec where in the election was
00:12:10.900decided by one vote um and ended up in court yeah yeah so um senior experienced emb staff
00:12:20.320with highly specialized expertise are invited to support the core elections alberta team
00:12:24.580to add expert resources during this critical election event. Similar invitations and programs
00:12:29.620happen across the country for major electoral events. As one example, to complete the 48-hour
00:12:37.000continuous count after 12-day voting, we will need additional highly specialized and expert
00:12:42.940resources from EMBs to support our permanent elections Alberta team as they will be working
00:12:48.340in shifts okay this is why election scrutineers are so important this is why you need scrutineers
00:12:55.500is you're bringing people from other jurisdictions we've heard uh confirmed problems with other
00:13:02.380jurisdictions nobody seems to be taking it all that seriously except the parties involved who
00:13:07.160end up taking their election results to court but i don't i've never heard about anybody being
00:13:12.700fired from elections out elections agencies for these things happening and this is government
00:13:18.680people tend to fail upward or at least laterally uh this is why we need election scrutineers
00:13:23.760in this campaign and i think the the deadline is quickly approaching for those scrutineers to apply
00:13:29.760um i was cruising through the elections alberto website this morning and it looks like
00:13:36.200the political parties uh can appoint their own scrutineers but it sounds like and i'm very sure
00:13:43.840because i've put a call out for scrutineers that the tpas can submit a list submit their own and
00:13:49.900maybe they will be selected maybe they won't but uh this is why it's important you need to make
00:13:54.200sure that the public is watching these sorts of things cory i'll go to you yeah well that's
00:13:59.840scrutineering and for people who aren't familiar with it yeah it means members of the public one
00:14:02.800way or another are there to observe every aspect of it from the ballot box opening potentially all
00:14:07.300the way till the the counting of the ballots that way you know it's the it's actually the the best
00:14:12.000possible way to try and avoid uh electoral electoral meddling but elections alberta has
00:14:17.660made an unholy mess of it and hasn't communicated to the third party advertisers how we can do it
00:14:23.240effectively as you said they've said well we we can submit lists and put them in i finally got
00:14:28.520of communication back from them the other day where they went on at length about well we give
00:14:33.520all the spots to the parties the only parties that can could participate are the ucp and ndp all the
00:14:38.660rest of the parties don't have seats and then if there's any spots that the parties don't fill
00:14:44.180they may consider using some of the submitted names from the tpas to fill those voids they
00:14:51.580will let us know at some time between now and october 29th that's what i got from so you can
00:14:56.040Give him a whole big list and just hope that at the chief electoral officer's discretion, he may choose who to allow to come in and observe the process.
00:17:14.820yeah well and i would hope that some of the people signing up to go through the ucp and it
00:17:19.100sounds like a whole lot have been going there because they found out that's the path and a lot
00:17:22.800of them will be uh independent supporters i mean on that side of it they can't determine that with
00:17:28.180the scrutineer coming in which side they're actually looking for which they aren't they
00:17:31.840just know which party they're with so i there will be eyes on the process who will be watching
00:17:39.600for funny business that's that's trying to hinder the independent side of the question so
00:17:44.120i mean i am happy for that just the fact that they'll be there is a bit of a preventative
00:17:48.380measure because if somebody was planning on doing something funny they don't know who's watching
00:17:52.480them necessarily or what side they're going to be on but it really is a process that should be as
00:17:57.400open as humanly possible that's what gives people confidence as as lee said people at the end of
00:18:03.760this after the mess elections alberta is making whoever lost is going to claim that the system
00:18:07.600was broken it doesn't matter which side loss they're going to claim it and they're going to
00:18:10.820have a lot of basis to make that on i don't know if it would make a difference that swung the vote
00:18:14.340or not but they will have ammunition to claim that the process was flawed and that that just
00:18:19.620makes more of a mess uh let's move ahead to uh olivia can you dig up the clip from yeg wave
00:18:28.400about the second cbsa crackdown and while you're doing that would you mind showing premier smith
00:18:35.400pushing back on Omni TV when they asked if there's enough legislation to deal with the hate
00:18:43.060online currently. Premier, are Alberta's current measures strong enough to deal with the rising
00:18:52.020hate crimes? I would say that one of the things that we value as a provincial jurisdiction is we
00:19:04.300value the free exchange of ideas. We always want to make sure that people have the ability to talk
00:19:11.940and debate issues that matter to them in a respectful way. It's always, that really is the
00:19:17.440baseline, is we want to make sure that our public dialogue stays respectful, but sometimes we have
00:19:22.520to be willing to have challenging conversations, and we've got to be able to preserve that.
00:19:27.840The issue of hate crime really is if somebody says something so terrible that it results in violence against another person or violence against a group.
00:19:39.500And there have been instances in the past where criminal code violations of that kind of extreme hate speech have been taken forward in the court.
00:19:48.420And I think that it should be a very high bar, but we should also make sure that we're not inadvertently creating an environment that doesn't allow us to have a free exchange of ideas.
00:20:01.220Because I think when you have a free exchange of ideas, you can identify problems and you can resolve them faster than if you're locking down and preventing people from having those conversations.
00:20:12.260So it's a balance. I recognize that. But we think that there's enough tools so that nobody is going to be brought to harm because of the hate words of another.
00:20:26.380I think the problem here on the left is that they don't understand the difference between hate crimes and just people saying things you don't like.
00:20:35.740And like they think that it should be illegal if you offend someone.
00:20:39.440Well, they consider that actual violence. They consider words to be actual violence. And so expanding, I think she did a good job at managing that, in that expanding hate speech laws does more to stop the critical conversations that have to happen, more than the actual danger that they say it poses.
00:21:06.520right she's just saying let's talk it out okay we can talk it out right and it the host said
00:21:12.080hate crimes which are designated in law um and you know that a lot of people on the left would
00:21:20.060love to see the definition of hate crimes expanded to encompass you know the things that people don't
00:21:26.340want us to say but we know are absolutely true uh cory go ahead yeah well i'm something of a
00:21:31.740a free speech purist. As Lisa said, I think the premier did respond fairly well in distinguishing
00:21:38.200between somebody's words that might lead to violence or encouraging violence. There are
00:21:42.640limitations within reason on speech. And I know it's always going to be a back and forth,
00:21:47.340but to make it criminal for somebody to say something that's insulting or offensive or
00:21:52.200whatnot, we know that's a road we just can't go down. And we were already going down and it's very
00:21:58.260problematic likewise just with hate crimes in general i i'm not personally big on them if some
00:22:03.820some nutcase goes and assaults a man on the street because that man was black well the crime
00:22:09.140was the assault i don't care about his motivation there is no motivation that's allowed allows a
00:22:14.600person to assault somebody i mean if it was a white person he assaulted because he didn't like
00:22:18.680the clothes he was wearing or the the something the other guy had said it's it's the assault that's
00:22:23.080the crime not the motivation and this whole hate crime thing is is a bad bad direction we're going
00:22:28.820in yeah police's uh thought and opinions and cory's right you're allowed to hold whatever
00:22:36.380odious opinion you want it's the actions you commit uh motivated by that odious opinion which
00:22:44.020appears to be the problem um i want to talk about uh this story that broke on yeg wave which is a
00:22:52.900news aggregator on instagram and wherever else um it's a follow-up to what happened last week
00:23:00.000in a startling a display of government efficiency you see the people with expired work and or
00:23:08.400student permits were all gathered in the same place in calgary and cbsa thought perfect time
00:23:14.820and so they did um and they raided this calgary international student protest
00:23:22.560and gave them their notices to appear whatever that means you know these people they obviously
00:23:28.540don't appreciate uh legal paperwork to begin with because they are ignoring their expired work and
00:23:35.420or student visa permits so i'm not sure what their notice to appear for an immigration hearing would
00:23:40.360mean to them but it is at least something i would love to see them just rounded up the ice raid
00:23:46.660style and taken to the airport uh giving a teddy bear on their way home as ICE tends to do um but
00:23:54.100they repeated this in Edmonton I think it was last night in Millwood similar protest has been going
00:24:01.120on CBSA officers conducted a raid at an Indian international student protest on 23rd Avenue
00:24:08.560and mill woods and uh this pleases me this pleases me i i am happy to see the government
00:24:18.200uh going and doing something about this uh these sorts of protests are happening all over the
00:24:25.700country but it seems to me the only place they're conducting these at least uh checks of paperwork
00:24:30.680is alberta and i think that really sets us apart cory go ahead yeah well i mean i'm glad they're
00:24:36.520doing that it said there's been no action or at all prior i think it shows in how bold it's allowed
00:24:41.780people who let's just face it if their visas are expired they're here illegally let's not talk
00:24:46.300around it they aren't just somebody let their paperwork go if most countries if you go and you
00:24:50.800don't have a valid visa you are there illegally and they will crack down on you and typically in
00:24:56.760a country if a person were in such a position you would think they'd keep their head down they would
00:25:01.100try to be discreet with what they're up to they're not going to be attending a large protest amongst
00:25:05.500a bunch of other people where they could be expected to be asked for their documentation
00:25:09.420to show if they're there legally or not uh whether this leads to something bigger i guess
00:25:15.300we can hope it's a start but it still goes back to that uh honor system oh okay well your papers
00:25:21.920you know your visa's expired you're not supposed to be here please appear at this down the road
00:25:26.020and they'll see if they appear or not this could actually just drive the people who underground
00:25:30.360further, but I can only applaud CBSA at least showing some teeth and saying, yeah, we're going
00:25:37.640to actually try and enforce a little bit on this. Yeah, and having it being broadcast still publicly
00:25:43.420is, I think, going to accelerate the way those students disappear into the wider Canadian
00:25:52.960problem. Because now that they know that the CBSA is targeting their little protests or their
00:25:58.600little rallies well i think they'll be a lot less likely to have them but cbsa out of saskatchewan
00:26:04.380has had a couple stories this year and i'm like they're doing some good stuff over there like
00:26:08.840really really they're taking the initiative um to deal to deal with this problem they're seeing
00:26:14.520canadians are upset about are seeing canada are hearing canadians say we need something done about
00:26:20.620this and uh good for the cbsa for upholding their mandate and making hay when the sun is shining you
00:26:28.500got all these guys in one place perfect time to do paperwork to check papers like just perfect
00:26:35.360lovely more of that please boys well and cbsa good folks at the cbsa if you're watching i can tell
00:26:43.280you where you need to go next uh portage college um now portage is a trade school uh i think they
00:26:50.720have campuses cold lake lacklabish saint paul uh good fish lake like they have some satellite
00:26:57.820campuses but it's a it's a trade school and uh punjabi indian students at portage college
00:27:04.920are out there protesting uh we've got a video demanding the right to work in a country they
00:27:10.180aren't even citizens of and they're building like a tent city out there so i know it's a little bit
00:27:15.940off the beaten path if this is the la clubish college uh campus i think i might even have a
00:27:21.360campus in edmonton i'm sorry if i don't know um but anyways they they've set up like a
00:27:27.900community there which means that they can go home and set up a community just fine too so
00:27:58.480anyway uh cbs say you know where to you know what to do you know where to go i think this
00:28:15.660might be the edmonton campus could be lacklavish doesn't look like lacklavish but anyway this
00:28:20.620that has to stop you can't come here and then try to do the old switcheroo on us there are rules to
00:28:27.060follow and if you have garnered a trade that you think is relevant to our economy i guarantee you
00:28:33.280it will be relevant to the economy back home off you go goodbye cory go ahead well i was saying
00:28:39.400yeah as you said i mean if the trade is a value here as well there's a process to apply and get
00:28:44.580your visa extended or move towards citizenship but it's not a guarantee just because you went
00:28:48.920through what these schools like that which are kind of turning into diploma mills and really are
00:28:53.220just a jumping board to try and come in here rather than actually getting that further education
00:28:57.920uh getting back to what i talked about with how bold some of the illegally uh illegal people are
00:29:05.440getting here when they're setting up uh you know camps like that out in the public you certainly
00:29:09.800wouldn't see that down the states where ice would swoop in pretty quickly and clean those tents out
00:29:13.920uh i hope cbsa is listening and follows through with your advice on this one
00:29:18.180yep um yeah cory before we let you go i want to show you something a little bit closer to home
00:29:24.020for you than it is for me chestermere illegal dumpers caught after getting stuck in a farmer's
00:29:30.040field this is just chef's kiss uh they cried racism when the farmers called the rcmp on them
00:29:35.940no and according to the farmer they will be receiving a ten thousand dollar fine do we have
00:29:41.500yeah so this is it um yeah they they are uh illegal dumping and this is getting
00:29:50.480really bad like i live fairly far off the highway so i don't get a ton of this but we have had some
00:29:57.060of it including a stolen car like a couple of weeks ago um but uh this the person who posted
00:30:04.220this said that they're on their parents farmland near chestamere um and this is a real problem and
00:30:10.900And I think as we were talking about yesterday on the show, and it feels like we could talk about a story like this every single day, this is the confluence of people from low-trust societies who don't respect the environment.
00:30:26.340And what I mean is real environmentalism, like don't throw your garbage on the ground, but also the onerous recycling and garbage fees that people face in municipalities.
00:30:37.320so they're just like screw it i'll just dump it somewhere um because i don't work for the
00:30:44.100sanitation department um but this is happening all over constantly every single day cory go ahead
00:30:49.880yeah it's a problem and for people unfamiliar with calgary northeast calgary is a high
00:30:55.320immigration community and the the neighboring fields i mean i would imagine this is it had
00:31:02.160nothing to do with racism with the farmer did or with the charges if i went back to pick up truck
00:31:05.540in there and started dumping stuff out and got caught I can promise you that landowner will be
00:31:09.640just as upset with me and following through but the thing is I wouldn't do that because I didn't
00:31:15.460grow up in a low trust society sort of thing I understand not every person of Indian descent is
00:31:21.580going to do these things and such but almost always when we see these videos that's the
00:31:27.380individuals that are doing this maybe some public education campaigns for those contractors working
00:31:33.620up there so they do understand that this is something we won't tolerate up here there's one
00:31:38.040of the ironies i guess in canada will tolerate a lot of illegal and expired visas but the country
00:31:42.280does pride itself on being and those of us who have traveled overseas it is one of the cleanest
00:31:45.900countries on earth we are and we are not going to put up with people making a mess here the but
00:31:51.880the immediate call of racism when this farmer enforced on this uh no sorry it doesn't hold
00:31:57.100water that that landowner doesn't care what the race was they just don't want garbage dumped on
00:32:01.320their land and that's not unreasonable yeah yeah enforcement enforcement is not is not racism it
00:32:07.420just is not like completely at anybody that makes claims of it deserves to be fined the absolute
00:32:13.420maximum and be publicly shamed okay and they will think i promise that when they see themselves on
00:32:20.440that farmer's facebook page they will think twice about doing it next time as will all their friends
00:32:26.200more public shaming more public shaming for this kind of stuff um and you know this doesn't even
00:32:32.920take into the uh account the property rights issue like your garbage is not my garbage my
00:32:39.400land is my land and it's not for your garbage um have some respect for us um we take property
00:32:46.080rights very seriously in this province and um we take the environment like real environmentalism
00:32:51.960not like fake tax in the air stuff, but like leaving the place clean and tidy.
00:32:57.280We take that real seriously around here.
00:32:59.360And this is one of those things where you can fit in or F off as far as I'm concerned.
00:44:03.560No, you know what? There are a thousand billboards in Toronto. There's 20 billboard trucks. And the fact that you're picking on the Rebel News one is quite conspicuous. It's pretty, pretty clear. This is Myron Demke's attempt. You know what?
00:44:20.280Okay, move the truck. Put on the fire of the chief. Put on the billboard that says fire the chief and let that one go.
00:44:27.600Ezra just dug in over it yeah not only are we not gonna turn it off but we're gonna say fire
00:44:38.160your chief yeah okay because that's what could you imagine the police telling Ezra Levant billboards
00:44:44.800aren't allowed in Toronto do these people do these are these people legally blind are they
00:44:52.060illegally blank everywhere i have never seen such an advertising dense area in my life than i did
00:45:00.100toronto okay the billboards and the advertising in toronto is just off the hook and yet ezra made
00:45:06.080a great point you're only telling rebel news to shut off their advertising like it's ridiculous
00:45:11.240it's ridiculous right even if we buy that it's a parking issue which it's not because if you look
00:45:17.740in the footage there's part uh there was a sprinter parked right in front of the truck and it wasn't
00:45:23.480running the lights weren't on so even if it were a parking issue which most definitely isn't uh why
00:45:29.140does he have to pull turn off the messaging the reason we bought the billboard truck is because
00:45:36.320there are like 20 other companies but sometimes they wouldn't take our messaging so we know that
00:45:43.040there are billboard trucks operating on the streets of toronto um and we thought okay well
00:45:49.500if they don't want to take the political risk that's fine we'll just buy one and do it ourself
00:45:54.440he's in a parking lane there's a printer in front there's a printer in front this is ridiculous
00:45:59.020like this is this is arguably insane that this happens so they get ezra when he's trying to
00:46:06.480have a snack attack by himself in the kitchen in the office which is not yourself when you're
00:46:11.380hungry Ezra no no but his brain was firing on ketones so he was like he was at the top of his
00:46:18.140game but that's not where Ezra stops because he's been fighting for free speech since before most of
00:46:23.520us were born and so he decides to go down there and get in the truck okay because now you have
00:46:33.120this uh like mongoose of a man Ezra Levant he's fired right up and he said uh that's fine I'm
00:46:41.440going to go down there and in fact he he had suggested internally maybe I'll drive the truck
00:46:45.780but Mark's down there and Ezra um the truck has been ticketed twice now $1,230 worth of tickets
00:46:54.100oh my god and uh this is the remarks that the boss gave to Joe Warmington over at the Toronto Sun
00:47:00.220I just thought it was an emergency. I sent a picture of the front of the ticket to one of Toronto's leading criminal lawyers, Leora Shemmer.
00:47:12.500She's a very high-powered lawyer who takes very serious cases. I don't want to give away legal privilege, but she wrote back to me very bluntly that that is an improper ticket, the improper law.
00:47:25.420I don't want to speak for her. I'll let her speak for herself, but it gave me great confidence and we have retained her. So on the way down, she confirmed for me that the law, that this ticket is out of place, which is obvious. Trucks like this have existed in Toronto for many years. We're the first ever to be ticketed with this issue. It's obviously made up. She confirmed that she would be our lawyer in this and I'm looking forward to that and that's not a normal thing to say. You don't normally say I'm looking forward to a trial.
00:47:54.860no i am because i think this police department needs a refresher in civil liberties i think
00:48:01.660they have to be taught that every point of view is allowed on the streets even if you're questioning
00:48:07.020transgenders in sports even if you're a trucker questioning covet not just pro hamas the pro
00:48:12.940hamas people can do anything on the streets anything uh yes he's right and now toronto
00:48:21.900police let's rumble well you you've got leora chemish on you now and and if you are a member
00:48:27.340of the independent press gallery leora has given some training for us over there on your rights in
00:48:31.820a public place especially when you're dealing with police she's an expert on this so um anyway
00:48:38.360all the best to toronto's police service for what's about to hit them like this is so this
00:48:43.880is arguably the most embarrassing thing look at the hurt like the herd of them around the truck
00:48:49.800Toronto has real problems guys like they have actual problems and here these guys are just
00:48:55.780fixated on on tone policing the women right right exactly it's tone policing because again I say if
00:49:03.400it were a parking issue they wouldn't tell you to turn off the sign they just wouldn't um now
00:49:10.640simultaneous to this our friend April Hutchinson uh Team Canada powerlifter April Hutchinson
00:49:17.640she led the first pro sophie cunningham rally outside of the united states she had a pep rally
00:49:25.360for sophie cunningham she had a six foot cardboard cutout of sophie sophie cunningham they had all
00:49:32.460of their flags and banners and signs to support sophie cunningham and unlike in the usa oh my
00:49:39.160god they were x look at them look at them no one of them says canadian beavers got the fever
00:49:46.760and this beaver loves women's sports you girls it's just the best just the best
00:49:55.520yeah they're they're great ladies over there at cause by there's the uh they had banners they had
00:50:01.000cutouts and and they said that the support that they received was just overwhelming they had a
00:50:07.880couple a handful of people who were quite nasty to them but they said that the huge huge overarching
00:50:14.320arching majority, was so happy that they were there, were taking pictures with their posters,
00:50:19.180were supportive and encouraging of them. There's our April Hutchinson. And unlike in the USA,
00:50:27.460she did not get kicked out for wearing that shirt. So she was able to go watch the game,
00:50:32.860participate, cheer, cheer, cheer. And they didn't kick her out. Pierre Polyabscamp kicked her out
00:50:39.020excuse me not kicked her out let me let me take that back uh made her cover up her keep female
00:50:45.080sports female sweater when she or t-shirt when she uh met pierre poly up to get a picture with
00:50:51.180him so um i think things are changing it is lame yeah i think that they should be shamed for that
00:50:59.520now it should it was common sense then and it is common sense now and so good for these ladies i
00:51:07.000just couldn't be prouder of them this was one of the rare times that I wish that I was closer
00:51:11.620to Toronto so that I could have could have been there with them April has been through the ringer
00:51:17.040remains incredibly positive and continues to work to make sports a safe place again for women and
00:51:24.520girls she was instrumental in the change in the Alberta legislation here and she paid a huge
00:51:33.660personal cost for her stand against uh men power lifting as women yeah the problem remains though
00:51:42.360like she was suspended for i think it was almost two years two years yeah and we're in covid and
00:51:47.600she picked out power lifting just for a like a quick backstory for everybody april uh april was
00:51:53.920an active addiction throughout her early teen years all the way through her 40s okay an active
00:51:58.360alcohol addiction and she found power lifting in covid at about the same time she she had a
00:52:04.280she had a situation that was that was life-threatening like either she was going to do
00:52:07.920something about the drinking or she was going to die at the end and it was covid and she she sort
00:52:12.680of adopts power lifting as a healthy habit to to just can sort of consume her brain and her body
00:52:19.980while she's healing from addiction and it turns out that she is an excellent excellent power lifter
00:52:27.040yeah and so she just accelerates right up the canadian women's power lifting charts
00:52:31.500she's doing so well she makes a friend online because remember it's covid so they're all
00:52:36.240training sort of together in online groups and it turns out that uh a man a biological man
00:52:43.880had tricked april into thinking that he was a woman and when he was talking about the power
00:52:48.900lifting that he was doing you know the things the weights he was lifting she was like well that's
00:52:54.760not are you a are you a man and he said well yeah i'm trans and that's what started it all
00:52:58.920she got kicked out of the power lifting federation of canada okay for pointing out this
00:53:04.000biological reality she got punished by the city that she lives in because she was part of a
00:53:11.220she was invited to do a public art installation yeah as in the city of london yes and they took
00:53:18.680out her public art installation she went through the absolute ringer on this issue and i'm so happy
00:53:27.500that april hutchinson is watching the public finally come around to admitting she was right
00:53:33.740all along yeah of course she was and it should be said that the man who uh complained about april
00:53:41.160got her kicked out of her federation uh now the international federation did stand with her but
00:53:46.260the canadian federation did not that man still holds the power lifting record in that weight
00:53:50.780class in alberta for women that has not been fixed yet correct correct the women's power lifting
00:53:57.820record in alberta is held by a man as so as so many of them are across the country you know but
00:54:04.500we're all too afraid to say but you're a man wait till i show you the cringe i i purposefully didn't
00:54:10.020put the cringe in the list until uh we were going because i didn't want you to see it yes
00:54:15.740um just uh so just so we can see what ctv is saying about this uh ctv uh takes it upon themselves to
00:54:26.560shout uh sophie cunningham's pro women message down using a u of a guelph sports management
00:54:33.840professor to say that trans men in sports beating on biological women is no big deal because there
00:54:38.860really aren't that many uh okay since uh since a lot of men don't want to tackle my daughter on
00:54:45.300the rugby field i guess it's not that big of a deal if one just one gives her a catastrophic
00:54:50.660injury good good argument guys let's hear it and it is first ever wnba team the toronto tempo
00:54:58.100is hosting the indiana fever tonight but comments made by one of fever's celebrity players is
00:55:04.500getting a lot of unwanted attention cdv senior correspondent heather right now with what's
00:55:09.460behind the off-court controversy hi heather well sandy one of the biggest games in toronto tempo
00:55:16.060history is taking place here tonight at scotia bank arena with the indiana fever in town and
00:55:21.820wnba superstar caitlin clark playing her first game north of the border now usually the tempo
00:55:28.120play at coca-cola coliseum where there's a capacity of about 8 500 for basketball games
00:55:34.220Tonight, they are playing here at Scotiabank with a sellout crowd expected of roughly 20,000 people.
00:55:42.220And that speaks in part to the popularity of Caitlin Clark,
00:55:45.640who is in the midst of another dominant season as the Fever looked to lock up a playoff spot
00:55:50.660with a month still to go in the regular season.
00:55:53.980But despite all the excitement on the court, there has been a lot of focus
00:55:57.360on comments made by Fever guard Sophie Cunningham,
00:56:00.720who said biological men should not compete in girls and women's sports i want to protect young
00:56:07.160girls in a locker room or young girls in a sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men
00:56:13.120these comments have sparked both praise and a lot of criticism here's what one sport management
00:56:20.080professor told us this afternoon there isn't a huge number of trans women just in general like
00:56:28.520This is not a large population, and then there's even less that are competing in sports.
00:56:33.040And so it is this, like, they are sort of fabricating, I think, this discourse to get people riled up around an issue that doesn't exist.
00:56:41.560And many have said those comments are a distraction, undermining the growing popularity of women's professional sport.
00:56:48.840Now, the tempo, they have their work cut out for them tonight against the fever as they try to snap a 10-game losing streak.
00:56:56.100uh i'm sorry but screw those those retarded liberal women i'm sorry was that too much was
00:57:05.460that too harsh but those those liberal women are the exact reason why we got to this place
00:57:11.800because please please platform the guy who says there's nothing to see here there's nothing to
00:57:15.940see here you guys shouldn't be worried about it's nothing to see here there was a 50 year old guy
00:57:19.820participating as a preteen in swimming guys and yet there's nothing to see here
00:57:25.580there's we just talked about what happened to april hutchinson you don't need to see tv enough
00:57:31.420yeah yeah two things about that uh piece i am surprised to see sandy ronaldo is still alive
00:57:38.760uh so there's i guess that's good news um but these men i i saw dween bratt do this the other
00:57:48.320j online he's a professor here in alberta of political science saying basically well there's
00:57:55.100not a lot of men that want to beat up your daughters so what i guess it's not that big of a
00:58:00.540deal yeah if one wants to beat up one woman or play against one woman and steal her sport um
00:58:10.740that's a big deal that's like saying well there's not a lot of innocent people convicted so um why
00:58:16.180do we care about making sure that trials are fair? Well, because I think that we are learning
00:58:22.560as a society just how disruptive one man who identifies as a woman has on the population of
00:58:30.940women that he's sort of impeding upon. You know what I mean? We are learning that it only takes
00:58:38.420one to disrupt, like upset the entire apple cart. So when they say there's not that many,
00:58:45.060what we should actually say back is even one is too many even one is too many and that's not
00:58:52.200controversial to say either it's not controversial to say either um i'm not taking advice from male
00:58:57.580sports coaches who tell me that it's not a concern when when my own eyeballs tell me that it absolutely
00:59:05.020is tell that to april you know tell it to april well in every woman that's been displaced by a
00:59:10.640trans woman whether it be in health care whether it be in sports whether it be in society whether
00:59:14.820it be in the workplace talk to those women and ask them if they've if they're if there's not that
00:59:20.120many of them it's not if it's not a big deal it's not a big deal it's a monumentally huge deal to
00:59:25.900women voters and it's becoming a more pressing one so if you want to if you want to you know if
00:59:31.220you want to side on the side of the guys that would dismiss this outright well it's not that
00:59:36.620big a deal i imagine we're seeing in regina what happened they said it's not that big a deal and
00:59:42.08030 naked seniors had to confront a, well, a man in their female change room. It's not that big a
00:59:50.540deal. Trust me. I heard from those ladies. It's a big deal. Yeah. I'm loathe to use the feminist
00:59:56.820term mansplaining. This is just like the perfect example of it. This guy probably
01:00:02.360fancies himself to be a feminist ally, right? And Justin Trudeau style. Justin Trudeau style
01:00:10.100feminist here he's saying to us women who don't want to have men walking around naked in our
01:00:16.800places and stealing opportunities from ourselves and our daughters uh calm down don't worry your
01:00:23.820pretty little heads off about it you're having a hysterical uterus we got a hysterical uterus again
01:00:28.820um but you know what again shame on this shame on ctv for having two women lead into that guy
01:00:37.120exactly april was right there why didn't you go get the counterbalance to this shameful liberal
01:00:43.360ctv can't be defunded soon enough now um the whole sophie cunningham comes to toronto
01:00:50.920uh fiasco uh as though it wasn't enough that ctv trots out this male feminist ally academic to
01:01:01.300tell us to calm down our uh twisted up ovaries but uh and ticketing the truck for the messaging
01:01:09.000that was on it but um the toronto tempo themselves were absolutely insufferable about this they
01:01:17.920unveiled two new mascots and these mascots have pronouns i'm so sick of this uh the toronto
01:01:28.480temple have unveiled two new mascots dot the arctic hair she her and does the snapping turtle
01:01:36.060she they and the mascots were revealed during the halftime of the team's game
01:01:41.680against the indiana fever just to be insufferable spiteful losers
01:01:46.740i mean just when you think the world has reached peak woke absolutely peak woke
01:01:56.380along comes a bright idea like this just to be like no it still exists it's still absolutely
01:02:01.180pervasive um we all know you know us of those of us with common sense know that a pronoun in a bio
01:02:07.820means that you should disregard the things that that person thinks or says okay these are people
01:02:12.440with garbage ideas that promote them just relate to these you think how many how many stuffed
01:02:18.100mascots you think they're gonna send because they have the correct pronouns sheila gunner reads and
01:02:24.880like what a what an insult to so like what an insult to Sophie Cunningham it's so unsportsmanlike
01:02:32.100it's ridiculous absolutely um but this is the reason why like this this is the reason why
01:02:38.460the majority of the public won't support women's sports you think that being woke is gonna is gonna
01:02:43.820pull in the viewers and the and the supporters no it's Sophie Cunningham down at Fenway Park
01:02:48.720they have Wally the Green Monster and he's fun I think engaging with the kids he's out there
01:02:54.800dancing everybody knows wally the green monster at fenway park and we've got these like new age
01:03:01.640woke mascots to confuse the kids just i yeah no thank you no thank you um yes uh okay let's do
01:03:13.400we have any chats no okay no that's okay uh i want to go we'll skip over the poly of stuff
01:03:21.240we'll go to the cringe um this one we're going to talk about the obvious here um it is uh that
01:03:33.440instagram post that i put there from the fort mcmurray golf club what oh it's not happening
01:03:44.520mr professor it's not happening this is that is the ladies club champion there on the right yeah
01:03:55.020i'm just i'm just rachel esler uh sits sits on the board of wood buffalo pride also and uh one of
01:04:04.780fort mcmurray's top 50 under 50 where they talk about their scariest experience which was socially
01:04:10.400transitioning at work and that person who is bigger than the two men there um is the ladies
01:04:18.880club champion at the fort mcmurray golf club so i did some digging into this um god and while
01:04:26.480there's a law preventing this in alberta that is for provincially sanctioned sports which have
01:04:34.120governing bodies like uh rugby alberta hockey alberta ring at alberta you get the drift plus
01:04:42.920um schools and post-secondary educations this club championship is not governed by golf alberta
01:04:51.800so the club can set its own rules but the club is revealing itself here because if you have a
01:04:59.040men's championship and if you have a ladies championship and if you have a juniors championship
01:05:04.540that indicates that there are different skill levels at all of those things why biology
01:05:09.260right well the ladies did the ladies in the ladies championship know that they would be
01:05:15.520playing against men or at least one man oh they don't divulge that to the other the other people
01:05:21.680playing they absolutely would never divulge that and actually golf would be a great game where
01:05:27.800a man who who identifies as a woman will be able to play the entire game with very few other
01:05:34.320spectators like knowing that he's competing for the ladies championship this is not this is an
01:05:40.420affront to your women members for not golf and you should be ashamed of yourself you know what
01:05:45.160those two guys standing with him i hope you i hope you enjoy your little trophies i hope this lives
01:05:50.760for infamy uh this sort of stuff while it why would you pose with that why would you pose with
01:05:58.000that and my problem with this is uh actually it lies with the provincial government at this point
01:06:03.560because uh the fact that this is not like a provincially governed sport body involved in
01:06:12.080this doesn't change the the spirit of the law that says that you are trying to protect fairness for
01:06:18.680all women and girls all of them even if they're playing at a club level my problem is there's a
01:06:24.300big loophole here and a trans identified man just stepped right through it that's how big it is
01:06:29.200yep that's exactly what happened there thanks for putting that on our radar radar sheila gunreed
01:06:35.640no it would be very very easy to look at his golf stats and see where he would land on the men's
01:06:41.000list and i didn't get that far i just said a little story about it this morning but i didn't
01:06:45.620get that far well did he hit from the lady did he hit from the ladies box like did he like that
01:06:50.200big brutish man full of a man did he did he hit from the ladies box the ladies box i didn't even
01:06:56.120think about that well no it's a it's a def that would be a definite advantage for him like look
01:07:02.440at him absolutely huge man like this is wild you guys yeah like how embarrassing how absolutely
01:07:09.660murray of all places and so i guess my point is um there will always be uh mediocre men trying to
01:07:17.520sneak their way into female sports and i i realize the provincial government has done something about
01:07:22.280it but there is a loophole here that is still that people who want to cheat are just stepping
01:07:28.960right through well and but this is where this is where the organizations themselves have to have
01:07:34.080some integrity just a little bit of integrity because fort mack golf certainly would have known
01:07:39.740oh for sure would have known and they could have intervened at the very beginning and said sir
01:07:43.720can i tell you why fort mack golf knows uh because there's a pride golf event uh in the area where
01:07:51.220rachel essler is involved so uh well known i think in the golf community up there
01:07:57.160so they absolutely did know that's embarrassing stop being gay fort mack golf doesn't look good
01:08:03.320on you you know like even if it even if you're not required to comply with the provincial law
01:08:11.100uh aren't you even interested in sportsmanship and fairness like aren't you interested in that
01:08:16.100at all well don't don't don't you want to don't you want the women and girls that belong to your
01:08:21.760club to to feel safe and welcome i would never drive another ball there never in a million years
01:08:28.740no that would be the last membership they'd get from me yeah yeah it's sad it's sad all right
01:08:35.140where why didn't the men stand up in that moment and just be like you know what we're gonna we're
01:08:39.340gonna stick up for our female um co-competitors this isn't right and it's not right no um all
01:08:46.740right i think that's the show for today if uh people want to help out with our legal battle
01:08:51.280against the toronto police with regard to the truck it's save the truck dot ca is that it
