00:01:17.160 of my show. Justin Trudeau is proceeding with his cruel and inhumane carbon tax in the midst of the

00:01:22.560 worst economic downturn in maybe a hundred years. But one province is putting their carbon tax

00:01:27.540 on ice. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:01:31.220 It's April Fool's Day and of course the head April Fool in Ottawa, Justin Trudeau, is giving us all

00:01:53.240 a big gift of higher prices on well literally everything due to a 50% hike in the carbon tax.

00:01:59.420 With the coronavirus pandemic shutting down and shutting in everything and everyone and grinding

00:02:05.620 our entire economy to a halt, can you name me any other world leader that would be raising taxes

00:02:12.540 in the middle of all of this? When one million people in Canada filed for unemployment benefits

00:02:18.700 in just one week? Even Manitoba, a province that was set to bring in their own carbon tax to comply

00:02:26.580 with Justin Trudeau's demands, is cancelling their carbon tax that they were going to bring in today.

00:02:33.460 So I thought there's no better time now than to bring on to the show independent Manitoba-based

00:02:39.640 journalist Marty Gold to talk about what the coronavirus is up to in Manitoba and how his province

00:02:47.360 is pumping the brakes on a carbon tax. So joining me now from his home in Winnipeg is Marty Gold in

00:02:54.200 from the J.ca. Marty, thanks for joining me. I thought I'd bring you in first off to talk about

00:03:01.200 some of the numbers coming out of Manitoba with regard to the coronavirus. Chief of

00:03:09.980 operations, Marty Gold from the J.ca. Marty, thanks for joining me. I thought I'd bring you in first off to

00:03:14.920 talk about some of the numbers coming out of Manitoba with regard to the coronavirus. Sure. And the

00:03:22.680 some of the numbers coming out of Manitoba with regard to the coronavirus?

00:03:29.100 Sure. As of Tuesday, at the one o'clock press conference on Tuesday, that's held by the,

00:03:37.780 I guess he's the medical officer for health, I think is what he's called, Brent Rusin,

00:03:43.400 and his ABLE staff, Manitoba had recorded 103 total diagnosed or suspected cases,

00:03:50.320 three in hospital, two in ICU. There previously had been one in hospital that was discharged. We've

00:03:57.360 still only recorded one death attributed to the condition. One of the new infected cases, this is

00:04:03.300 up, I think from Monday to Tuesday, this would have been up seven cases. One of the newly reported

00:04:10.440 cases is an employee with the Selkirk Regional Health Center. So this is the first time that

00:04:18.560 somebody has been identified as working at a healthcare facility. I'm trying to figure out

00:04:24.380 how to word this, but you get the idea. Your audience does. We here have recorded, you know,

00:04:32.120 very low numbers. I think similar in a lot of cases, really in a lot of cases in the Midwest.

00:04:39.680 I don't, and I haven't looked in a couple of days, I admit, but you know, the numbers in places like

00:04:43.540 Saskatchewan, Wyoming, you know, Manitoba, Montana, Iowa. Last I looked, we're, you know,

00:04:51.540 it's sort of like all trends that start at the coasts and south and then work their way up. So

00:04:57.940 by the time something fashionable gets to Winnipeg, it's already been out there for three years.

00:05:02.200 This is something I learned in the, around the clothing business in the early 90s in Winnipeg.

00:05:06.340 And so once again, we're thankfully, you know, behind the great wave. We're lucky in that we

00:05:13.360 don't have dense population. We don't have, you know, subway platforms people are standing on and

00:05:21.160 such. And so it's been very controlled. I can go through the controls that have gone on. The

00:05:28.500 premier has been holding a daily press conference. They moved the time this week,

00:05:33.940 so it wouldn't coincide with the prime minister's performances. The government has taken a number

00:05:42.380 of measures, the Manitoba government, the Pallister government, suspending rent increases and

00:05:47.740 eviction hearings. So even if you, for instance, don't pay your rent for April or May, they can't

00:05:54.160 even try to schedule, get you on the schedule before May 31st. So the hearing wouldn't be till

00:06:00.000 like July or August at this rate. There's a really well known Winnipeg landlord who has

00:06:07.320 tried to sidestep the, the edict by saying that because the residential tenancies branch

00:06:14.220 has not given out any direction about how not to implement rent increases that are already

00:06:21.740 approved. What this company proposed to do was to enact the rent increase. They put it like a notice

00:06:29.000 up in the laundry room like a day ago or two days ago. And I think this building is either downtown

00:06:34.060 or in Osborne Village, that since we have the direction from the government, from the department,

00:06:39.380 the branch, we're going to increase your rent as scheduled, and then we'll refund it to you.

00:06:46.160 Jeff Keel of CTV, a good guy, raised this. I mean, that's not a question that's in lockstep with

00:06:53.080 where most of the rest of the media questions go. And Jeff was a great guy, raised it with the

00:06:57.180 premier on Tuesday. And Pallister was caught unawares by this and pronounced that he was

00:07:03.520 unimpressed, that this would not have been reflecting. It's not in the spirit of the legislation.

00:07:10.020 It's, you know, it, I, I guess, let's be real. It's sleazy.

00:07:17.720 I guess the concern from the landlord's point of view is if you don't enact the rent increase,

00:07:21.420 the beginning, you know, when you say you will,

00:07:23.240 yeah, then how do you know for sure the government's going to let you do it later?

00:07:28.100 Yeah.

00:07:29.380 It's, it's just didn't reflect well. I'm being nice and not naming the company. It's a very well-known

00:07:35.960 landholder in Winnipeg, but it could be that the highest echelons were going to cut, you know,

00:07:43.380 they're going to get covered in the goo for this. And they may not realize where this decision was

00:07:48.460 made in middle management or something. So I'm erring on the side of caution and not naming

00:07:53.300 them. Anyways, obviously, Pallister government being alerted to that. I'm sure they're going

00:07:59.440 to take some action to preclude that. Also this week, the, the government has lifted the restrictions

00:08:11.180 so that restaurant orders, takeout and delivery orders can be adorned with your favorite kind

00:08:18.160 of liquid libation at the regular menu prices that restaurants charge. Jeff Klaus of Little

00:08:26.200 Bones Wings, who's an entrepreneur that I mentioned to you privately with his hands guiding a couple

00:08:31.900 of different businesses. But with regards to Little Bones Wings, which is an award-winning

00:08:35.520 company in Winnipeg for its, uh, its product. And, uh, it's got now some retail coverage,

00:08:40.200 including on, I think it's Safeway shelves in, uh, freezers, actually, uh, wings and chicken tenders

00:08:45.520 in, uh, in Alberta, as well as in Manitoba. And he said, really what the, that sector needs isn't

00:08:50.200 so much liquor sales, which is nice, but it actually needs support with cleaning supplies and, and

00:08:57.760 sanitation supplies. And Jeff has a very good relationship. I know firsthand with a number of, uh,

00:09:04.120 cabinet members and caucus members, the conservative government Manitoba, they've attended the

00:09:09.000 restaurant and the, uh, the bar upstairs, the restaurant's located in a, uh, in the basement

00:09:13.840 of the Royal George, an awful lot of members of conservative, uh, governments have dined and

00:09:19.080 feasted on, on that. And, uh, Jeff is hope is hoping that the, uh, the, because he's a respected

00:09:25.560 figure and he's speaking on behalf of other restaurants as well, uh, that, that the government

00:09:30.160 will sort of take heed. They have the buying power, the ability to make those kinds of purchases

00:09:33.900 and, and enact that kind of distribution. Um, look, I didn't get personally, I didn't get my own

00:09:40.800 hands on, uh, uh, wipes and on gloves until 10 minutes before we filmed this when my sister

00:09:48.340 unexpectedly arrived at my doorstep with a care package, which yes, included a toilet paper as

00:09:54.020 well. Um, so it is in short supply. Like I, you know, I haven't gone on an intensive hunt. I'm just

00:10:00.360 me here. You know, I, uh, I've got contact with a limited number of, of, uh, people, um, uh, the

00:10:07.540 way that, and my lifestyle is like this where I'm, you know, work on my own a lot, unless I go to a

00:10:11.900 city council meeting or something like that. I don't work in an office environment very often when I go

00:10:16.460 to clients offices, perhaps. And even, even those have, uh, you know, five or 10 employees tops.

00:10:22.640 So for me, this hasn't been bad, but for a restaurant that wants to provide reassurance

00:10:28.360 to their customers as they come in or to that, look, the, uh, skip the dishes and the door dash

00:10:32.840 drivers, I don't know what services necessarily are active in, in, in Alberta. Uh, you know,

00:10:37.320 they want to provide reassurance and they're doing everything they can. And, and, uh, Jeff Klaus making

00:10:41.100 that, uh, that, uh, request through the free press and interviewing the free press on the weekend

00:10:45.340 to the Manitoba government. I hope that they, uh, that they recognize that they can provide support

00:10:50.220 to a sector that they are urging to stay open. Now, having said that, said that there's a number

00:10:55.900 of sectors as of Tuesday that were told that starting on April 1st, they'd be closed for

00:11:00.900 a period of two weeks. The so-called non-essential services, which isn't really a lot of businesses

00:11:07.140 in Manitoba. It seems to me that Dollarama, for instance, because it carries groceries, because

00:11:12.260 it carries a hardware that they'll be exempt is an example, places like that. But massage, 0.55

00:11:17.900 uh, uh, um, uh, providers, massage treatment, uh, facilities, uh, physiotherapists, uh, uh,

00:11:25.720 I guess the word I was trying to, uh, figure out, uh, salons, barbers, uh, they call them

00:11:30.700 that anymore, but there are about 10 barbershops still in Winnipeg. Those kinds of places are

00:11:34.320 closed, uh, uh, now for 14 days, uh, public gatherings limited to 10 people and, and have

00:11:40.500 been, uh, actually since Monday, uh, no more than 10 people at, uh, indoor outdoor places

00:11:46.460 or premises. And that includes, uh, uh, weddings and funerals. My, I didn't mention this to you.

00:11:52.620 I don't think my, the, the family matriarch, my grandfather's, uh, remaining sister, and

00:11:58.060 she was the youngest of the family passed away at the age of 95. She'd had a mild heart attack,

00:12:02.500 uh, in, in February and, and was at the grace hospital and got out of the grace hospital,

00:12:08.380 went back to the, uh, uh, the Shaftesbury where she had resided for a number of years, but

00:12:12.720 did not rally. Her daughter had happened to my, this would be my dad's first cousins.

00:12:17.660 Okay. Just to explain generationally. Um, her granddaughter had been in from Vermont,

00:12:22.660 uh, when this happened and, uh, uh, her son flew in from Toronto. He's a, uh, a cardiologist.

00:12:29.580 If I remember correctly, he's a cardiologist. Uh, her other son resides in Winnipeg, who's a,

00:12:34.480 uh, a long time. I think he's probably retired now, but he was a school principal and school

00:12:38.720 teacher. And they were all by, uh, and here if the side, when she passed, but I, the funeral

00:12:43.480 was private. It was kept to her children, the grandchildren, my sister, who was the funeral,

00:12:48.540 uh, director and my grandfather's, uh, remaining son in Winnipeg, my, uh, my uncle. And so,

00:12:55.480 you know, auntie Rifka, who usually, my, my, she's 95. So I, she outlasted a lot of her compatriots,

00:13:01.680 but a funeral where you might've expected 75 to a hundred people, uh, owing to her standing 0.77

00:13:07.420 in the community, her years of philanthropy, uh, her, her social, uh, you know, she was,

00:13:14.700 um, uh, her and uncle Zalman were very respected couple. Uncle Zalman had been in the insurance

00:13:20.020 business for a number of years. His father actually was, uh, on top of that, the, her family,

00:13:26.000 the family she married into were actually cousins of ours. Anyways, auntie Rifka passed away and,

00:13:29.760 and there was only, you know, 10 or 12 people. One of our cousins, who's a cantor, actually performed

00:13:34.700 in the ceremony as opposed to a rabbi. So I've, I've learned firsthand because I didn't see it

00:13:39.960 firsthand. My son and I were not able to attend, uh, auntie Rifka's passing. Uh, but this is,

00:13:46.180 this is the kind of effect that it's had even on my own family. Uh, this, uh, the current situation,

00:13:51.200 uh, the, uh, government restrictions, um, uh, have been generally well accepted. There's incidents of,

00:14:00.900 you know, kids, teenagers, like playing basketball, stuff like that. It's kind of causing other

00:14:06.440 parents to flip out. And with good reason, you've got a five, a seven year old, a 10 year old,

00:14:10.040 you're out for a walk or a bike ride. There's, you know, five or 10 kids playing basketball and

00:14:14.520 the little kids, they want to know why the big kids are able to go play. And, and so there is a

00:14:20.220 failure to some extent of parental guidance perhaps. Um, uh, but, but so far it's been well received.

00:14:29.720 I don't know if it's a reflection that people in Winnipeg are not confrontational with authority,

00:14:36.600 uh, necessarily. Um, I'm not sure what it reflects in terms of our psyche, but so far people are going

00:14:45.180 along with it. Now, the rest of the province, again, I mentioned that I think that, uh,

00:14:49.400 that our risk level, generally speaking to the average Manitoban is low. Uh, we've got, you know,

00:14:54.160 a small population base is the second biggest place. The province is technically the U of M

00:14:58.580 in Winnipeg. And then the third biggest is Brandon. Uh, but there was one story I wanted

00:15:03.700 to reflect from Flynn Flynn, Manitoba, where a friend of mine is the, uh, does morning radio up

00:15:08.240 there. Uh, and is still, uh, uh, he was deemed an essential service. He was quite thrilled actually

00:15:13.420 to find out the communication, communications, uh, workers, uh, which I thought would be meant like,

00:15:18.960 you know, Wichita lineman, uh, an internet service guy. So it turns out it means broadcasters and

00:15:23.780 journalists as well. Yeah. In Flynn Flynn, a mother took to Facebook, I think it was on Monday

00:15:29.340 and put it right out there. We've got a case in Flynn Flynn. It's my daughter. Here's what happened.

00:15:34.380 The daughter had gone to Cancun with her boyfriend on March the 6th. So we can presume that the daughters,

00:15:39.580 you know, 20 to 25, went to Cancun with the boyfriend returned on March 13th,

00:15:44.380 was not asked any questions from customs about their health was not, uh, screened whatsoever was

00:15:52.020 not told to self isolate. The boyfriend played, uh, a hockey game. I assume it was an indoor rink

00:15:58.200 in Flynn Flynn or Creighton, perhaps the adjacent Saskatchewan community on March 14th. Uh, it's on the

00:16:04.000 Saturday. So it came back on the Friday. They went to the unwinder, a popular watering hole in Flynn Flynn.

00:16:09.600 The next day on the Sunday, the government mandible government asked international travelers to

00:16:15.080 quarantine themselves. They did. So she, the daughter lost her sense of taste and smell.

00:16:22.080 And I guess had noticed online cause it has not been widely distributed by health authorities in

00:16:27.500 Canada, that this is a precursor, uh, symptom. Uh, she recognized it. She got tested as did her

00:16:35.240 boyfriend. She came back positive. That was her only symptom. Uh, the mother wanted to get it out 1.00

00:16:41.140 ahead of the curve, uh, because you know, her daughter and the boyfriend had come back from

00:16:44.800 Mexico and had socialized and I don't know them. I don't know how, you know, a lot of people from

00:16:49.940 this country, including two officials from Manitoba, if I'm remembering correctly, Winnipeg Regional

00:16:54.720 Health Authority went on vacation to Australia in the first week of March. So when your average,

00:17:02.480 uh, I don't want to call her a hipster, but this young couple from Flin Flon, they went on vacation.

00:17:08.240 They're only as dumb. If it was a dumb thing to do, I'm not saying it is, but if it was deemed a

00:17:12.000 dumb thing to do, they're only as dumb as some of the highest echelon health officials in Manitoba

00:17:16.480 who did the same kind of thing. Or Sophie Trudeau. Well, Sophie, you see, Sophie, you know, what I,

00:17:24.720 what I question about that one along with a lot of other questions, that was a weed day event.

00:17:29.400 Yeah. Now why anybody thinks that Sophie, uh, Trudeau is, uh, is a significant enough figure to

00:17:40.780 have it any kind of a weed day event outside of Canada is absolutely preposterous. Yeah. But she

00:17:48.840 took the junket with her mother-in-law. So Margaret was there and the children, I don't know if they've

00:17:54.900 been, I still haven't heard for sure that they were, were not tested. Uh, but somebody else who

00:17:59.540 was seen in a picture with her fist, uh, supposedly famous actor, I'd never heard of before this came

00:18:03.740 up. He tested positive. God only knows how, uh, meanwhile, the prime minister, the erstwhile

00:18:09.460 alleged beau of said Sophie, it has not come down with his own symptoms. The one point that the mother

00:18:16.180 in Flin Flon wanted to make before we move on was the social shaming show, social media shaming.

00:18:20.660 She meant has to stop. And in that regard, you know, when there, when there wasn't an edict from

00:18:28.260 the government and this reflects on the government and Dr. Tam, but when the government wasn't telling

00:18:33.060 Canadians don't go anywhere in the beginning of March, the end of February, I agree with the

00:18:38.660 mother. It's, it's very hard. Like I said, when you're top ranking health officials in Manitoba,

00:18:43.940 we're taking off to Australia. I'm not so inclined to start, you know, jumping up and down people from

00:18:49.780 Flin Flon that wanted to get out and go to Mexico for a week and a trip that they was not spur of

00:18:54.020 the moment that they had planned for some time. There's a lot of people in that boat. Now, most

00:18:58.020 recently I, uh, I mentioned the premier has health briefings, uh, has briefings every day. The, uh,

00:19:03.780 health officials chief, uh, medical officer of health has, uh, a briefing. And he, he said on

00:19:10.340 Tuesday that wearing masks is not useful if you're worried, stay home and that they provide

00:19:15.140 us false sense of security. I saw the look on your face. Well, uh, it takes, uh, uh, this resulted

00:19:22.100 in a bit of a discussion when a reporter, I think it might've been a CBC reporter mentioned this,

00:19:26.340 uh, that, uh, uh, people on Twitter are pointing out, uh, Leonard Kaplan, a former cab driver who's

00:19:32.820 well known to me, that, you know, you look at the rates of infection in places like Hong Kong and

00:19:36.500 Taiwan, they're all wearing masks. Maybe the problem here is the doctor can admit we just

00:19:40.500 have a shortage of masks and doesn't want to cause a stampede, uh, towards it. And so there is a

00:19:46.260 question of whether Manitoba health was prepared now in terms of the city of Winnipeg, uh, uh, aside

00:19:51.860 from the, uh, reaction to the province of Manitoba city of Winnipeg was very slow. Mayor Bowman got off

00:19:57.060 on a very bad footing when early on, uh, Manitoba, uh, Winnipeg transit had no plans to increase the

00:20:03.940 cleaning of their buses. Oh my Lord. At this point, people found out that they don't clean

00:20:08.660 the buses very often. They might sweep it out, but they don't actually sanitize very often.

00:20:13.060 And there was a firestorm directed at mayor Bowman in transit. Uh, that course was reversed.

00:20:19.700 The mayor's got a bunch of other political problems. Uh, they keep losing like the, the legal

00:20:26.020 department here needs our total bumbling incompetence. Was there a lawyer on green acres?

00:20:31.940 Do you remember on the series green? Cause if there was, he probably ended up running the

00:20:36.740 legal department, you know, uh, in the city of Winnipeg. Uh, uh, they missed a filing deadline

00:20:44.180 a couple of years ago for a third, $20 million lawsuit over, over, uh, terrible problems with the

00:20:50.180 wastewater, uh, uh, treatment plant. They missed the filing deadline. The city fired the lawyer they

00:20:56.180 said was responsible. It should have been the head of the legal department was responsible.

00:20:59.700 They fired that lawyer who I was never a big fan of. She sued for wrongful dismissal. They had to 0.99

00:21:04.180 settle out of court last summer. The city was in contempt, found a contempt of court city, a city

00:21:09.940 counselor committee, like a regional committee, uh, when they failed to hold a hearing for an

00:21:15.780 application for the Parker lands, which is a development relating to, uh, the, the, uh,

00:21:21.060 bus rapid transit line. So you've got missed deadlines for filing court important lawsuits

00:21:26.740 for $20 million. This million dollar land development deal. They're in contempt of court

00:21:31.620 on that. They just lost an arbitration hearing, a resounding defeat, uh, at the hands of the

00:21:38.180 Winnipeg police association. When they tried, when they passed the bylaw to, to, uh, unilaterally

00:21:43.620 change police pensions, just what you want to do in a time of crisis, piss off the police.

00:21:49.460 Right. Yeah. Uh, and I'm not saying the pension plan doesn't need to be revisited, but they just

00:21:53.700 tried to do it arbitrarily and argued in court. Well, you know, we did a little something in 2006

00:21:58.900 and the police didn't say anything. And on every point I read the arbitration ruling, every point,

00:22:04.740 the arbitrator, the arbitrator wrote the ruling, said, that's not proof of anything. They're wrong.

00:22:10.180 That doesn't show that the police association was going along with this presumption of, of, uh,

00:22:15.700 all power over this contract, just terrible problems that mayor Bowman has on top of what's

00:22:22.580 going on here. And, and add to that this week, counselor Edie Ross Edie represents an inner city

00:22:29.940 North end ward has written to council and the mayor asking for a state of emergency be declared

00:22:36.100 over junk being dumped in yards and laneways. Uh, his assistant, a really good, good buddy of mine,

00:22:43.380 uh, uh, Aaron McDowell, I've known since he worked in a beer vendor, actually,

00:22:47.700 Aaron's his assistant and went out and videotaped back lanes in Minarski and Point Douglas wards.

00:22:54.180 Uh, Edie represents, uh, Minarski Point Douglas is adjacent to it. Uh, and there's junk piled up in the

00:23:01.860 back lanes of the Duffer neighborhood, the William white neighborhood, uh, by law enforcement, uh,

00:23:07.780 knows this is going on. There's also problems in a couple of other neighborhoods and Elmwood and

00:23:10.980 St. Fatal, uh, counselor Gilroy, who's on executive policy committee, one of mayor Bowman's inner circle

00:23:16.340 circle, Cindy constantly, and, and Ross apparently constantly hear fires being set by this, you know,

00:23:22.820 bulk waste, uh, fires. Last year, it was so bad that people on the same side were like yelling at each

00:23:28.820 other because there was no efficient way of dealing with it. And the director of community

00:23:33.780 service said they can't go on a private property to haul these mattresses and stuff off.

00:23:38.340 Counselor Edie point out in his letter that there's landlords are getting junk dumped on their yards

00:23:43.060 that aren't coming from their own tenants. And that, that the mayor can, uh, similar to what mayor

00:23:49.220 Cates did in 2012, the American declare a state of emergency. This would enable city workers under

00:23:54.020 the direction of a bylaw officer going up and down the lanes, pointing at a yard going,

00:23:58.100 Hey, get that mattress. Hey, that Chesterfield's got to go and start clearing some of this out.

00:24:04.180 And counselor Edie making the point, uh, and he signed his letters sincerely and desperately.

00:24:11.620 This is a city counselor making this plea that they should be dealing with this now as the snow

00:24:17.380 melts. That's initially fire bug season here in Winnipeg. And before police and fire departments

00:24:23.780 are swamped with COVID related calls. So counselor Edie trying to get ahead of the curve, uh, in terms

00:24:31.060 of what can be done for the city of Winnipeg. Um, one of the thing that I wanted to go back to with

00:24:36.980 you, uh, maybe we can have a brief discussion. Um, uh, we have the, the, uh, Brent Rusin here,

00:24:43.620 Dr. Rusin saying that, uh, masks aren't effective. I know that, uh, you have determined that you

00:24:48.580 have a, you know, you have a different point of view on that. And we, we touched on this briefly

00:24:52.980 yesterday when we were setting this interview up. Um, is our country not faced with a choice

00:24:58.020 between 37 million tests or 37 million masks? I think that it is not one or the other. I think,

00:25:06.580 um, it, we will probably have easier access to masks before testing. Um,

00:25:15.540 and I think that we've had a serious mixed message from the powers that be. And I think you're right

00:25:21.620 when you point out that, uh, they're downplaying the efficacy of masks for the common person,

00:25:29.060 because there is absolutely a shortage because our idiot stick of a prime minister sent them to China 0.54

00:25:36.500 in the midst of their COVID crisis, when the masks are actually made in China for the most part,

00:25:42.500 except for now that the United States is, uh, calling on private industry to retool their factories

00:25:48.900 to produce these things. Something we are really not seeing a lot of in Canada, 3M, Jockey, MyPillow,

00:25:55.540 um, a whole host of companies are manufacturers are just turning on, turning on a dime, retooling their

00:26:03.460 factories to produce, um, medical supplies, ventilators, and all kinds of other equipment.

00:26:10.500 We're not seeing a lot of that happening here. I know Canada goose is, uh, creating like medical coveralls,

00:26:16.820 I think. Um, but not a lot of that happening here. Um, I think the, uh, I know Hong Kong did

00:26:24.420 a lot of, um, testing of anybody who wanted it and then isolation of people who, um, tested positive

00:26:32.340 and they were doing that while people were asymptomatic. I think that's the, the real danger 1.00

00:26:37.140 time. And I think masks are a good way to deal with that. If you are asymptomatic, so you're not 1.00

00:26:42.340 showing any symptoms, but you are positive. You have no idea that you're positive. Wearing a mask

00:26:47.540 protects the world from you. And, uh, so I do think there's a, there is a benefit to the public

00:26:53.700 to be wearing masks. However, I think it's a cultural thing. You and I were talking yesterday

00:26:59.380 when we were setting up this interview, um, in, uh, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it, there's a,

00:27:07.860 it's a cultural courtesy to wear a mask. It's like holding a door open for a lady here. Um, 0.98

00:27:14.020 you are showing your fellow Taiwanese citizen that you care about their health. So you're wearing a 1.00

00:27:21.380 mask and that you care about yours. It's like washing your hands when you come out of a bathroom,

00:27:25.620 you want to make a big production of it. So everybody knows you're washing your hands.

00:27:29.620 That's the same thing with wearing masks there. Um, and I think, uh, that might be the real thing

00:27:37.300 that we have to overcome in Canada is that we're not accustomed to doing these kinds of things. It's

00:27:42.900 not ingrained in us. Well, it's not just that though, in, in Winnipeg, uh, in Winnipeg, if people start

00:27:50.180 are walking around wearing masks, that's just not going to go over very well with the average person

00:27:55.140 on the street, nevermind, you know, in, uh, for vendors or retailers, you know, it's, it's,

00:28:01.380 it, it, to me, it's so against the grain of, of our Western culture, uh, that I don't know that

00:28:09.380 you can ever really make it acceptable. Uh, you know, this was part of a broader discussion about,

00:28:16.660 you know, how things are, could change in the, in the short term and, and also in the long term,

00:28:22.740 we talked about, for instance, the prospect of a lockdown, uh, essentially what everybody's

00:28:27.220 going through now is, is, you know, two steps short of a full lock of a martial law lockdown.

00:28:32.500 Amazing how many people don't know how to spell Marshall, by the way,

00:28:36.580 that stuns me. Uh, but, but the idea here in Winnipeg, as I mentioned yesterday,

00:28:42.820 that Manitobans, if this thing has a bad spike, not anticipated, but if there's just a,

00:28:49.780 uh, uh, this goes off like some, uh, you know, bulk waste blaze in the North end of an artsy ward.

00:28:57.140 And people were told you got to stay in and there's curfews and whatever. There's a curfew

00:29:00.980 in Ecuador is a friend of mine from Winnipeg stuck in Ecuador right now. And, uh, the curfew there is

00:29:06.420 2 PM. Holy. Yeah. So I guess that's gets hot in the afternoon there anyways, this time of year.

00:29:12.500 And, and have a siesta. Yeah. So it's siesta time anyways. So you get go, go to the market,

00:29:17.620 get your chicken, pluck the feathers, you know, get your, I don't know. I don't know what the,

00:29:22.420 what the native kind of, uh, vegetables and fruit are down there. And then they're indoors from two

00:29:27.060 o'clock on. If this were to extend in Winnipeg past the end of April into may Victoria day. And

00:29:34.100 you've got people who nevermind from the, the, uh, the traditional underclasses, the underemployed, 0.99

00:29:42.420 the unemployed, the welfare class, et cetera, that are used to not having a lot of,

00:29:49.700 not having a lot of, you know, bright spots in their life on a day to day basis. Now,

00:29:53.700 everybody's broke. Nothing's open. There's nowhere to go. They're stuck in their place. They're in a

00:29:57.380 brownstone building on Toronto or Victor or Beverly. I'm mentioning those streets for the benefit of

00:30:04.420 people that know what Winnipeg's like, and they got no air conditioning. This is not going to work

00:30:10.900 very easily. If at all. Yeah. We, we are not a, you know, the government is not about to open a depot

00:30:19.700 and start handing out, you know, eight inch electric fans, you know, you know, one, one per

00:30:27.060 household. It would be catastrophic sociologically. If in Manitoba, people are locked up it may June,

00:30:36.340 like through Canada day. Uh, it would, I, I, I, I think that something like that. And I, I don't know

00:30:46.900 what it would be like necessarily in Saskatchewan or Alberta, BC, absolutely unworkable. I can't see

00:30:54.260 people there putting up with being cooped up under government order. You know, I, I, it might be

00:31:01.060 something like the, honestly, it might be something like the black have to be something, you know, 0.93

00:31:04.820 if it was approaching level of the black death or how the half of Europe was wiped out in like 0.88

00:31:08.900 four years, I think it was sure. People see death all around them. Then it's like, Oh,

00:31:13.940 pardon my French. I'll stay home. I don't think if the numbers don't get like that, I don't know that

00:31:19.780 people are going to buy into the necessity, a necessity to be locked into their own, into their

00:31:26.100 own places. Um, I, but you know, obviously the hope is here that because of our smaller population

00:31:34.660 base and various checkpoints and other things that we'll be able to come out of it relatively

00:31:39.940 unscathed. I mean, for right now, one death and only through four, one of the hospital cases,

00:31:45.300 I forgot to mention, um, was a fall, like a false positive. Yeah. Uh, I happen to have

00:31:55.220 been given the contact information on that individual and I'm going to be trying to get

00:31:59.940 ahold of them and do an interview with them. So our numbers are just so low that we're really hoping

00:32:04.260 that, that it's not going to be, we're not going to end up with extreme measures such as are required in

00:32:08.740 New York, New Jersey. Uh, not yet Chicago, Detroit, I understand as a mess right now.

00:32:16.900 Uh, this ultimately is a big, um, the big middle finger to the, uh, the urban visionaries and their,

00:32:24.340 their dreams of density. And, uh, you know, this vision of the future where we're piled on top of

00:32:30.500 each other, like cordwood. Uh, it's, it's very plain now that when people say they want space,

00:32:36.900 that they want affordable space, that there's a reason why people have single family dwellings,

00:32:43.380 right? Yep. And you know, who's been really quiet through all this, the urbanist crowd,

00:32:48.820 the, the, the, uh, uh, the, uh, global warming crowd. Yep. There's a lot of silence from that,

00:32:57.540 from, from that side of, uh, that side of the equation, global war. Before I forget,

00:33:01.140 we want to talk about carbon tax. Yes. Yes, please. Um, the, on March the 5th, the, uh,

00:33:07.860 Manitoba government announced a plan. It was a combination of an election promise by Premier

00:33:11.860 Pallister to lower the provincial sales tax, which is ridiculously, uh, too high for reasons I won't

00:33:16.820 get into now. Uh, uh, but you know, governments get addicted to having money to spend. Uh, it was

00:33:22.980 going to be lowered from 7% to 6%. He had, he had made that promise and he had combined this rollback

00:33:27.940 with an announcement of a made in Manitoba carbon tax. Again, I remind you all, regardless of what

00:33:33.220 lies are told by political strategists, uh, Brian Pallister in 2016 did not run on the base of a

00:33:38.740 carbon tax whatsoever. Yeah. But he's, he thinks he sees writing on the wall from the Trudeau

00:33:44.420 government and better to do something and try to convince the courts that you're doing something

00:33:48.660 that have something, something else that's way more injurious at a higher rate imposed by the Trudeau

00:33:53.860 government. So, uh, he had proposed a, uh, so-called flat green levy, which I still don't

00:33:59.060 understand how it was being. I don't know if it was being applied like a sales tax or what

00:34:04.100 that he said would save, uh, people, uh, a significant amount, uh, over the Trudeau

00:34:11.140 government levies. If you could convince the courts that Manitoba because of hydropower isn't

00:34:16.180 getting the kind of credit that the Trudeau government is giving other provinces with their

00:34:19.780 own plans. And in that regard, Pallister's right. Trudeau doesn't, does not acknowledge that we are

00:34:25.140 a carbon sink in Manitoba and that in fact there should be no carbon tax or whatsoever.

00:34:29.780 Uh, a hundred percent of the green levy will go back to Manitobans. I don't know how

00:34:33.220 Pallister, he said that. I don't know how Pallister is paying for the administrative costs. Exactly.

00:34:38.100 More hocus pocus. Uh, so he combined this, we're going to lower your taxes here. We're going to add a tax

00:34:43.300 here, but he suspended that now. Uh, there's no plan to move forward with either the sales tax

00:34:49.700 reduction right now, which is understandable because every store would have to read,

00:34:53.780 you know, to retool their cash registers. Wouldn't make sense to do it now. Anyways,

00:34:57.140 I kind of understand that. Uh, but he's not moving forward with the carbon tax,

00:35:00.820 the provincial carbon tax either. Unlike our esteemed prime minister, who as a spending addict,

00:35:07.860 uh, and, uh, and as the, um, you know, the, the crown prince of the globalist movement.

00:35:15.380 Yep. It is. I saw one of these bills and I don't know if it was from Saskatchewan or Alberta

00:35:21.540 was probably from Alberta where the amount of gas, the natural gas they use was like $300 and the tax

00:35:26.740 was 400. Yep. I have yet to meet a human being who can justify this, that the tax is more than the

00:35:35.140 cost of the product as though the product was something that kills people, poisons people.

00:35:40.980 Meanwhile, prime minister announced that who gets to waddle up to the trough one more time.

00:35:49.060 How did he call him? The, he had a comment about the, to describe, uh, Ralph Goodale.

00:35:56.500 Oh Lord. What did he call Ralphie? Oh, I, I try to avoid all Ralph Goodale news expertise of Ralph

00:36:03.620 Goodale. Good Lord. Yeah. He's, he's defeated, but he's back. He's got a new job.

00:36:09.940 Nose right in the trough. Uh, you know, there are a lot of liberals, uh, uh, federally

00:36:15.620 British have been keeping our mouths relatively shot during this period of time. And, uh, and

00:36:20.180 they're doing the right thing. Cause I think some of them are actually embarrassed by the

00:36:23.060 ineptitude that's come out of Ottawa that the, the, uh, the, uh, failure to enact proper

00:36:30.340 screening at customs at airports. Uh, Dr. Tam, uh, Dr. Tam is, is, you know, just to my mind,

00:36:39.460 obviously an apologist for the WHO and the WHO is not to be trusted whatsoever. Uh, that's not

00:36:45.620 conspiracy theory talking. That's those of us that value freedom and liberty and that value straight

00:36:50.500 facts talking. And WHO, you know, is, has been way behind the curve on this for obvious political

00:36:57.060 reasons from the beginning. Uh, and, uh, as I said, a lot of liberals are, are keeping the lips

00:37:03.620 zipped at this stage. Uh, there's a lot more political cooperation going on than, than, you know,

00:37:09.460 considering it's time of crisis than, than maybe we expected the, the, you know, that the volume's

00:37:14.820 pretty loud in, in the Western Canada, a lot of the time in the last, certainly since the going into

00:37:20.260 the federal election and since, uh, but nonetheless, uh, every day, Justin Trudeau, uh, comes out,

00:37:26.580 takes direction in his ear from some, some unknown, uh, unknown producer, uh, says very little. The

00:37:34.260 reporters in Ottawa have just been not, I mean, the importers in Ottawa aren't as good as the reporters in,

00:37:40.340 in Manitoba, honestly, questioning our leader. Uh, uh, but, uh, in the meantime, that carbon tax going

00:37:46.260 up is, uh, how it isn't, you know, how it, this is, I'm sure the only government there's a, I can't

00:37:55.940 imagine. I've not heard of another government that has raised the tax, whether it's an automatic tax

00:37:59.940 hike or invoking a new tax hike. I've not heard of another government on the planet. Yeah. I'll

00:38:05.380 rephrase this in a democracy on this planet, let alone not a democracy that's raised the tax right

00:38:10.580 now. But, uh, Justin Trudeau finds a way. Well, not only raise the tax, raise the carbon tax,

00:38:16.500 but give himself a raise right in the middle of it all too. Just, yes, which supposedly could them

00:38:20.980 in New Zealand. Yeah. And, uh, hardly a surprise given any given the, the mentality of the government

00:38:26.020 of New Zealand. Uh, it's, it's, it's an awful thing that the, the, the, the, the modern day left

00:38:35.140 will cannot stop themselves from belling up to the trough cannot always has an excuse why taxpayers

00:38:41.780 have to give more, but they don't. Yeah. Everything is, everything is an opportunity

00:38:46.900 to either pat themselves on the back or line their pockets with the modern left.

00:38:51.380 Absolutely. Um, we are rapidly running out of time. So I wanted to give you an opportunity

00:38:57.060 to tell us what you're doing next, because, uh, you've touched on just the sheer ineptitude

00:39:03.780 of some of the, uh, journalists around us in the mainstream media. And you are, I think,

00:39:10.260 trying to create something that will fill that void and give people, regular people a voice too.

00:39:17.780 I've, I've had a lot of encouragement in this direction, especially in the last three weeks

00:39:21.060 from some people that are out, you know, frankly, people that are, have been prominent or are

00:39:24.900 prominent in Winnipeg media and, and public affairs. Uh, and, uh, uh, for a variety of reasons,

00:39:31.700 I've been slowed down, uh, through the first part of this year, through the first quarter of this

00:39:36.340 year, slowed down the activities. I'm still the editor of the j.ca. We're going to be putting a

00:39:41.060 story out. There's been a terrific price exacted by the COVID-19 virus on the Jewish, uh, on the, 0.67

00:39:48.260 the Jewish religious leadership. And, and I'm not going to lie. A lot of this is the fault of the 1.00

00:39:53.140 practices of those religious communities and continuing to congregate in great numbers

00:39:57.300 as this spread in, in places in Europe and in New York city, for instance,

00:40:01.620 going so far as to defy orders, uh, you know, orders not to have these gatherings. Uh, uh,

00:40:07.860 but the, the number of, of rabbis, and these are very, these are learned rabbis. These aren't guys

00:40:13.620 churned out by some of the North American yeshivas, you know, that are, uh, you know, a little less,

00:40:17.940 uh, of the book study and a little more philosophy. These are like really revered authors and, and

00:40:24.180 thinkers, people who are experts in Judaism and in the function of Jews in the modern world.

00:40:30.180 And there's been a tremendous toll, um, in the, the, the, uh, Lubavitcher and the other, uh,

00:40:36.260 religious sects, the, the ultra religious, the black hatter, so to speak, uh, not my family's 0.65

00:40:41.460 tradition. This is, you know, further out from, from us. Uh, so we're going to be putting out a

00:40:45.780 story about that and trying to file a story about once a week, uh, on the j.ca, uh, continue to do,

00:40:52.340 to do that, uh, that kind of work. Um, but, uh, a few years ago, and I think this is when I first

00:40:57.700 might've come out of your, your radar, so to speak. It's when I was doing city circus,

00:41:01.460 which was the only program on Shaw TV, uh, that really dealt with community affairs, public affairs.

00:41:07.860 Uh, uh, I think there's one program like it in Vancouver. Uh, I'm trying to remember Vaughn,

00:41:14.820 I'm trying to remember the name of the guy. There's like one show.

00:41:16.420 Like Palmer. Yeah. Yeah. And, and nobody does this kind of stuff. And, and Shaw TV,

00:41:21.060 the other broadcasters, they don't like that. They don't like people doing news coverage

00:41:25.300 because they own the news stations. They own the other networks. They don't want everybody

00:41:29.060 competing and exposing how crappy newscasts are worried about ribbon cuttings and feel good

00:41:34.820 stories and not so much about real news. So what I'm doing is I'm reviving city circus.

00:41:39.620 Uh, there's going to be a YouTube. There is a YouTube channel. I've just never

00:41:43.140 uploaded a video to it. I smartly reserved it and forgot about it a few years ago.

00:41:47.460 Uh, I'm going to put on a newsletter. People can, will be able to subscribe. I'm struggling

00:41:52.420 with MailChimp as we tape this, but hopefully it'll be solved for, for Thursday morning.

00:41:55.780 Uh, I'm going to have one exclusive story to start with every day or every, uh, every issue. I'm going

00:42:01.620 to try to put them out every three days. Um, and I've got some contributors that are going to provide

00:42:06.500 opinion pieces, uh, their own experiences in the community and see how it expands from there.

00:42:11.620 I'd be happy to do in particular for Manitoba plugs for people's businesses and such,

00:42:16.500 fit it in. But I want to do something that's unusual in this market. There are no newsletters

00:42:22.180 going out. You can't go out to Robin's donuts or Tim Hortons and pick a newsletter up now. Really?

00:42:26.500 Yeah. You know, so even if I was in the fit, I've done physical newsletters in the past like that.

00:42:31.220 Uh, but even if you're doing them, you don't really have the distribution now.

00:42:35.140 So I'm going to start it online. I'm going to augment it in between the newsletters with, uh,

00:42:41.700 videos like this, except I won't be talking to you. Um, I've already had a city council volunteer

00:42:46.500 to be interviewed, which is right back in the wheelhouse of what I did on city circus TV

00:42:50.340 on Shaw from 2012 to 20. Uh, I guess it was 20, uh, 16, I think it was, uh, September, 2016. Um,

00:43:00.980 so the, the videos will be about, uh, you know, different issues that have come up items. And my

00:43:06.900 first story, uh, that, uh, I've got, you know, exclusive details of, uh, on March 20th, a Winnipeg cab

00:43:14.500 driver was murdered. And, uh, as you're aware, and many of my followers are, I drove cab for off

00:43:21.380 and on for about 15 years. My father drove cab until his, until he passed away from the time the

00:43:26.420 Valley pot business, uh, uh, uh, uh, collapsed. Uh, he became a cab driver and I ended up driving cab.

00:43:34.580 Uh, and, uh, I was a labor representative, safety representative on a provincial workplace safety

00:43:39.940 and health committee. Uh, driver was murdered. Uh, uh, Belvert tour 44 year old, the media reported

00:43:47.380 that there had been an arrest and that, uh, a fellow named Okoth OB had been arrested and charged

00:43:53.460 with second degree homicide and, uh, four counts of breaching conditions. Not one Winnipeg newsroom,

00:44:00.740 all these professional paid journalists, some of them are on the taxpayers payroll. Not one of them

00:44:06.660 reported. What kind of conditions was he breaching? What is the background of this

00:44:11.380 alleged killer? I have dug into his background. He was on quite a streak from about Christmas

00:44:19.060 till this incident on Burroughs Avenue with a cab, with its emergency light on the doors flung open

00:44:24.660 and a driver dying, bleeding to death after being stabbed in the cab at five 30 in the morning.

00:44:30.100 Uh, I am going to be putting out a story about the accused, about his background,

00:44:36.340 which also goes back into what appears to be interesting affiliations and activities,

00:44:43.140 uh, straight out of high school, which rhymes with straight out of Compton with this guy.

00:44:50.260 Sorry, makes you wonder why he was out on the street at all on conditions. He's the kind of guy who

00:44:54.980 doesn't seem like he would abide by them after a lifetime of being a walking human crime spree.

00:44:59.620 Oh, the pullover. He was pulled over in a vehicle and, uh, before this, uh, murder. And, uh, uh,

00:45:07.700 you know, when you put all the pieces together, um,

00:45:11.460 it, it, it's the kind of information the public has a right to know that the driver's family, Duffy's

00:45:16.900 taxi owners and drivers have a right to know. They do not know it because nobody else is bothered

00:45:22.100 reporting it. I guess that's going to be my job again. Yeah. I'm going to do that. I'm going to have

00:45:26.180 an interview with a city councilor. I've got another story that I'll be working on

00:45:29.860 with regards to more inactitude coming, uh, uh, from mayor Bowman, uh, the, uh, ongoing ticketing

00:45:37.300 of nurses and people that work at healthcare facilities

00:45:42.100 because you've got vultures. There's nobody parked downtown Winnipeg. So now the parking authority,

00:45:46.980 uh, they used to be commissioners or these, these, I don't know. What do you call them?

00:45:51.060 You know, meter maids, meter maids, glorified meter maids are like vultures waiting to prey 1.00

00:45:57.620 on people, including nurses and journalists. And this is unconscionable. Nobody Winnipeg media

00:46:04.100 is going to take on mayor Bowman about it. I guess it's going to be up to me. So this is the kind

00:46:08.340 of coverage I'm going to provide with city circus for, you know, next for a few foreseeable months.

00:46:12.500 And, uh, and we'll see how that goes. And if people want to get ahold of me,

00:46:16.180 Marty gold live at gmail.com, I'll add you to the email list. And then through Mailchimp, you'll be

00:46:21.860 able to, to, you know, send it around, add other people. Um, uh, and, uh, I'm just, I'm hoping to be

00:46:28.820 able to do my part to contribute, uh, information back into the community. There's so many reporters

00:46:33.300 that either, you know, they're not used to working from home. They are used to not taking orders in a

00:46:38.100 newsroom. They, uh, they're saddled with all these COVID related stories. And I respect that they've

00:46:44.260 got their assignments, but there's a lot of news that's slipping through the cracks.

00:46:48.180 Like this story from Flin Flon should have been reported in the media for instance, and wasn't,

00:46:53.460 that's the kind of gap I'm going to fill. People want to be able to contribute one way or the other,

00:46:57.540 keep the lights on the internet working. I'll, I'll, of course, uh, provide a link for that.

00:47:02.420 And hopefully I'll be back on with you at the end of April and, uh, give you a further update on, uh,

00:47:08.420 all things COVID and non COVID from Winnipeg and from Manitoba.

00:47:12.260 Marty, I want to thank you so much. Uh, when you come on the show, you make my job pretty easy

00:47:16.980 because I just sit here and listen to the news. Just blast me in the face.

00:47:21.620 It means a lot to me to be able to be, you know, if there's one thing somebody mentioned to me,

00:47:26.260 if there's one mistake maybe that I, that, that I made, or one thing I could have done differently

00:47:30.420 is I should have talked with a little more with, with, with Ezra and the powers that be about,

00:47:35.140 about, uh, actively being, uh, you know, a correspondent for the rebel, because now you've got nobody in

00:47:40.500 Manitoba. It's not so easy to send Keene or somebody else here, but be that as it may,

00:47:44.820 if there's something that I can contribute to rebel, uh, to, uh, the rebel from here at this

00:47:50.260 stage, I'll do it. Uh, and, uh, and I'll do it, you know, through my own channel as well.

00:47:55.460 We need more media coverage, not less. Uh, you saw the free press bleeding about, uh, uh, lack of support

00:48:03.060 that the Stephen Jebo is lying about. Yeah. You know what? People like us, we don't want

00:48:09.380 government money. We don't need government money. We want to be able to report on government honestly.

00:48:13.620 We want to be able to hold the government to account. That is not a job that all reporters

00:48:18.340 really see as their role. And that's fine, but somebody has got to do it. It's up to people like us.

00:48:23.220 And I appreciate the opportunity to have to appear on your program and, and, and to be able to address

00:48:28.420 the rebel audience and hear back from them on, on Twitter at TG CTS, uh, my former, uh, program,

00:48:34.740 the great Canadian talk show, the acronym for that. Uh, and I can be found on Facebook too,

00:48:38.900 et cetera. And the more in touch I can be with people, the better off. Um, you know,

00:48:42.260 the quality of my reporting is both for the J and for now for the revival, uh, of city circus,

00:48:47.860 much to my surprise, uh, out from the ashes, but I found the old logo. So I might as well use it.

00:48:53.060 Well, Marty, I want to thank you so much for being so generous with your time. We'll have you on

00:48:56.580 the show. I've got you down for the end of April. Uh, best of luck in your new venture.

00:49:01.620 And I can't wait to see what you do next. Thank you. Sheila. I'll add you actually the

00:49:05.460 mailing us that I think of it, and you'll be able to distribute it as well. Awesome. Thank

00:49:08.980 you. And my best regards and best wishes to all the fans and the, the subscribers, uh, and viewers of,

00:49:14.740 uh, of the rebel. This is an important service that's being provided to the Canadian public,

00:49:18.500 especially at a time like this. Thank you, Marty. Stay safe and stay healthy.

00:49:26.580 These are strange and unprecedented times. And I'm afraid to say we couldn't have a worse equipped

00:49:34.900 leader in Ottawa to deal with all of this. Trudeau does not know how to inspire and reach out to the

00:49:40.340 business community to produce the things that Canada needs to have to fight the spread of the

00:49:46.500 coronavirus. Trudeau doesn't understand what employers need right now to keep more of their

00:49:51.700 employees on the payroll through all of this. And Trudeau definitely doesn't understand what

00:49:55.700 families need to get through any of this. Trudeau's holed up like a hermit in a hovel while the nation

00:50:02.260 descends into crisis. And thank goodness for the people of Manitoba that their conservative government

00:50:08.980 realized that a carbon tax would rob what little money families have left. Now, if you at home want to

00:50:16.180 support our petition calling on Justin Trudeau to stop his cruel and inhumane carbon tax during this

00:50:23.060 pandemic and, you know, always, please go to StopTheCarbonTax.com. Well, everybody, that's the

00:50:31.220 show for tonight. Thank you so much as always for tuning in. I'll see everybody back here in the same

00:50:36.260 time in the same place next week. Please stay healthy. Please stay connected to the people you love.

00:50:43.140 Reach out to those around you, not physically, however. And remember,

00:50:47.540 don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.

00:51:13.140 you
