00:00:00.000 Oh, hey guys, this is Sheila Gunn-Rita and this podcast is brought to you by our friends
00:00:19.340 at Freedom Passport.
00:00:20.740 Do you know your rights?
00:00:22.340 Freedom Passport resembles a Canadian passport, but it contains the Canadian Charter of Rights
00:00:27.560 and Freedoms in an easy-to-read format that you can take anywhere you go.
00:00:31.880 And boy, I think you need that with you more than ever.
00:00:35.260 To get your Freedom Passport today, it's easy.
00:00:38.540 Visit freedompassport.ca.
00:00:41.480 Now enjoy the show.
00:00:43.500 Good morning, good afternoon, everybody, depending on the part of this great country that you're
00:00:47.560 in.
00:00:47.940 This is the Rebel News Daily Livestream.
00:00:49.900 I'm your host, Sheila Gunn-Rita.
00:00:51.300 And joining me today, it's been a while, my friend, Alexa Lavoie.
00:00:55.960 Alexa, how's it going?
00:00:57.560 I'm really good.
00:00:58.800 And you, Sheila? 0.95
00:01:00.280 I'm doing well.
00:01:01.780 You know, there's absolutely nothing to talk about today.
00:01:04.320 Nothing happened yesterday in political news, so I don't even know what we're doing here
00:01:08.680 today.
00:01:10.400 I swear to God, I almost fall asleep during the debate.
00:01:15.500 I was like, that's the most boring one, but...
00:01:18.160 I was too busy laughing and being annoyed.
00:01:22.440 So it kept my interest engaged, although I quit paying attention to the debate, and I
00:01:29.780 was paying more attention to the moderator, Tom Clark, which is, I think, kind of what
00:01:35.240 Tom Clark wanted.
00:01:36.720 Because if you were in the room, you got the sense that it was the Tom Clark show, and the
00:01:42.420 debate was his vehicle to relevancy one more time.
00:01:45.960 And I just tried to understand why you didn't want it, that nobody was clapping or shouting
00:01:52.640 or anything.
00:01:53.680 And I was almost at the impression that he was talking with children, like, don't do that
00:01:58.720 or they will be punished.
00:02:00.020 I was like, what's going on there?
00:02:02.260 It's not supposed to be a debate?
00:02:03.440 Well, and I think, you know, he didn't want any shouting, not because he didn't want
00:02:08.720 cheering.
00:02:09.400 I think he was worried about the booing, because this is Alberta, we don't like Sean
00:02:14.620 Charest.
00:02:15.120 We really don't.
00:02:16.080 He's bad on all the things that Western Canada cares about, carbon taxes, gun rights.
00:02:22.040 He's free speech, I think.
00:02:24.080 I think he's really bad on those issues.
00:02:26.700 And the free press, given how he treated you.
00:02:29.680 So I think the moderator knew there would be booing for some of the candidates, particularly
00:02:35.380 Patrick Brown and Jean Charest.
00:02:37.620 I just don't think he thought there would be booing for him.
00:02:40.440 But there were several times during the debate where the audience actively booed the moderator
00:02:45.600 and people even got up and left.
00:02:48.200 But I've got a lot to say because I was in the room.
00:02:50.640 But before we get too far into that, I should tell everybody what we're doing here today and
00:02:55.100 how they can have their say, because I am dying to know.
00:02:58.820 How people feel if they watched the hour live stream coverage of the debate last night.
00:03:05.820 I want to know what you thought about the moderator, Tom Clark, who is a liberal lobbyist, who once
00:03:11.720 asked Justin Trudeau what his brand of shampoo is.
00:03:16.200 What did you think?
00:03:16.840 If you watched the debate last night, what did you think of Ezra's reactions?
00:03:20.360 I got home late and I was like, I really should be going to bed.
00:03:24.800 It's 1230.
00:03:25.920 But no, I thought I would stay up and watch Ezra's reactions to Tom Clark.
00:03:30.520 So that was fun, too.
00:03:31.960 So if you watch those people in viewer land, let me know.
00:03:35.560 And here's how you can do that.
00:03:36.940 So we are live streaming on YouTube.
00:03:38.680 However, there may and we're pretty safe today.
00:03:41.400 But we might come a time where we have to cut the YouTube feed because we sort of
00:03:44.800 dance up against YouTube's censorship restrictions and we can't talk about certain things.
00:03:50.520 And one of those is the advice of a local public health officer.
00:03:54.040 They're basically like the Pope.
00:03:55.800 You cannot blaspheme against them.
00:03:58.240 But we are also streaming on Getter.
00:04:01.340 So if you're watching us on Getter, nice to see you.
00:04:03.900 But if you want to have your say and support the work that we do, head on over to Rumble,
00:04:08.520 Odyssey and SuperU.
00:04:09.560 You can leave us a paid chat on each one of those platforms.
00:04:12.920 Rumble is a rant.
00:04:13.900 Odyssey is a hyper chat.
00:04:17.360 And SuperU is a shout.
00:04:18.660 Send those.
00:04:20.280 Ms. Producer Olivia will send them to me in a message and we'll do our best to address
00:04:25.420 your question, your comment, your story idea or your viewer feedback on air.
00:04:30.080 And it's a way that you can have your say because we're not the mainstream media.
00:04:33.620 We actually want to hear from you and you can support the work that we do completely
00:04:37.640 of your own free will.
00:04:39.560 So getting back to Tom Clark, why don't we show, I'm sure we've showed it a hundred
00:04:46.340 times, but why don't we show, Olivia, I'm sort of putting you on the spot, the clip of
00:04:52.240 Tom Clark when he had Justin Trudeau stuck in an airplane with him.
00:04:58.440 There was no way that Justin Trudeau could escape.
00:05:02.100 So now is your time to ask him hard questions.
00:05:04.680 What is he going to do?
00:05:05.400 Jump out the window?
00:05:06.080 But no, this is what Tom Clark thought the nation wanted to know.
00:05:10.620 Why don't we roll that?
00:05:11.420 So we know that we should have known better.
00:05:14.500 Not we.
00:05:15.360 I mean, this is what we should have expected from Tom Clark.
00:05:19.600 It played out exactly the way most of us thought it would.
00:05:22.740 Thinking people, I think.
00:05:23.800 So I guess the first thing I should ask you is, are you feeling lucky?
00:05:29.140 The entire country wants to know.
00:05:31.860 What shampoo do you use?
00:05:35.020 What a disappointing answer.
00:05:36.480 This is going to be whatever happens to be hanging around at the time.
00:05:40.880 So I guess the first thing I should ask you is, is it the same way that he handled the democracy?
00:05:51.800 Everything that is like passing through, I'm just having a hand on it.
00:05:56.680 Yeah.
00:05:57.840 That's Tom Clark.
00:05:59.040 When he gets a chance to ask the Prime Minister of Canada a question, what sort of shampoo do you use?
00:06:06.480 Ridiculous.
00:06:07.640 So go ahead.
00:06:08.560 Yesterday, his question was not even like better than this one, I would say.
00:06:14.980 I'm sorry.
00:06:15.460 That's what I mean.
00:06:17.340 First of all, this is Alberta.
00:06:22.480 This is one of the rare places in the country where we have a lot of conservative journalists.
00:06:29.440 And I'm not even pointing at Rebel News.
00:06:31.200 There are a ton of us out here, particularly in Calgary.
00:06:33.680 But we've got a lot of actual conservative journalists still working at mainstream media outlets.
00:06:40.360 We've got Lauren Gunter.
00:06:41.480 We've got Rick Bell.
00:06:42.640 We've got Danielle Smith.
00:06:43.800 There are people that they could have asked to come do this besides Rebel News.
00:06:50.580 There are people, even if the party was interested in flying somebody in, bring in Rex Murphy, right?
00:06:57.360 Or Conrad Black or somebody like that.
00:07:00.680 But no, they fly in somebody who is paid by the Liberal government to select people to go on the CBC board to ask questions that he thinks Alberta conservatives want answers to.
00:07:15.900 Very disconnected.
00:07:17.600 I don't know who's responsible for that within the party, but huge mistake.
00:07:21.300 Huge mistake.
00:07:22.140 Huge mistake.
00:07:23.120 And it went over like a lead balloon in the room.
00:07:25.580 He was booed.
00:07:26.820 People got up and left.
00:07:29.000 The questions were awful.
00:07:31.340 Like, what did I find out yesterday?
00:07:33.900 Am I the only conservative in the country who doesn't like jazz?
00:07:37.160 I think so.
00:07:38.020 Because the three people on the stage, I think, when Tom Clark asked them, what music are you listening to?
00:07:45.060 And they're like, somebody said jazz?
00:07:47.720 Like, I want to know about policy stuff.
00:07:50.780 I want to know what distinguishes them from each other.
00:07:54.240 And I got to find out what they're watching on Netflix.
00:07:57.100 By the way, the right answer is, I'm campaigning, I don't have time to binge a Netflix series.
00:08:03.040 That's the right answer.
00:08:06.600 Okay.
00:08:07.560 Olivia, I know I'm talking too much.
00:08:09.980 I'm like Tom Clark at this point where it's all about me.
00:08:14.840 Olivia's got a montage that I think our friends at True North put together of all the dumb questions from Tom Clark.
00:08:22.420 It's bad.
00:08:22.920 With Mr. Charest and Mr. Charest, the very first question I have for you is, what book are you reading now?
00:08:30.260 What book are you reading now?
00:08:33.320 Oh, I'm...
00:08:34.160 Mr. Acheson, I wanted to ask you and give everybody a chance.
00:08:38.100 There's a question and there's a twist to the answer.
00:08:41.180 I want to know who your political hero is and you cannot say Winston Churchill.
00:08:48.440 Thank you all very much.
00:08:49.500 That was actually really interesting to hear all that.
00:08:51.380 Dr. Lewis, I'm going to start with you and then, of course, everybody else gets a chance.
00:08:56.960 I know you're all busy.
00:08:58.000 I know that you've got stuff that you're doing right now.
00:09:00.920 But when you have the opportunity to sit down and listen to some music, what do you listen to?
00:09:07.620 I would say...
00:09:08.500 I want to go to a question maybe a little more lighthearted, getting to know you a little bit more.
00:09:13.420 And there are a lot of people who want to know this.
00:09:17.760 It's not just me, trust me.
00:09:19.880 But, Mr. Baber, what was the last thing that you binge-watched on TV?
00:09:26.460 Who wants to know this?
00:09:27.960 What historical figure, from any time, anywhere, would you most like to have dinner with?
00:09:38.420 Seriously, this is...
00:09:40.160 I don't know if I say an insult or something like that.
00:09:44.160 But the fact that they did an ovation at the beginning for this journalist, that he was supposed to be one of the biggest and one of the most known for his question and for his job, his career.
00:10:01.080 And I result with this kind of question.
00:10:04.400 I was just like, really?
00:10:06.560 I was like, this is actually not true.
00:10:12.120 And that's the thing.
00:10:13.460 Given what he had, what he asked Justin Trudeau, did we think that this was going to go any different?
00:10:20.060 And his questions, he makes it seem like actually anybody cares about this.
00:10:24.480 Like, it's not just me who wants to know this.
00:10:27.300 Other people want to know.
00:10:28.640 No, they don't.
00:10:29.960 No, they don't.
00:10:31.720 I think that I'm pretty in tune with the average Alberta conservative.
00:10:36.560 Nobody cares about that stuff.
00:10:38.900 I want to know how you're going to get pipelines built.
00:10:41.320 I want to know how you're going to fix equalization.
00:10:44.080 I want to know how you're going to stop the gun ban.
00:10:46.380 I don't care who he wants to have dinner with.
00:10:50.640 I don't care what show they watch.
00:10:53.680 It's the last thing that anybody wants to know.
00:10:57.240 And it's not what a debate is.
00:10:58.800 A debate involves people arguing sometimes, talking about an issue, hammering it out.
00:11:06.120 Not doing this whole, like, dating game thing that they were doing.
00:11:10.620 But debate is supposed to be two or many candidates to explain their opinion together.
00:11:20.360 But the fact is, they were one after one.
00:11:23.700 They were not almost allowed to talk to each other.
00:11:27.340 So that is not a debate.
00:11:29.500 This is just talking.
00:11:30.660 Yeah, it felt like it didn't even feel like a job interview because it felt like if this were a job interview, the questions would actually be relevant to the job that they were applying for.
00:11:43.360 And in this case, they're applying for the job of prime minister at the end of the day.
00:11:46.800 And I'm not sure why anybody cares.
00:11:50.480 Like, what is the favorite color of the person who's running to be prime minister?
00:11:55.800 And there were a few people who after there were a few people who after the debate were I think they maybe had had a few drinks, as you tend to do with these sorts of things.
00:12:06.860 And they're like, yeah, he was fine.
00:12:09.120 But more people were like, it was terrible.
00:12:13.540 I ran into Pierre Polyev's uncle and brother, who I immediately recognized, even though they were like, oh, you know, like, we're in the bed.
00:12:22.040 We are cheering for Pierre.
00:12:23.400 I'm like, of course you are.
00:12:24.320 You're his brother.
00:12:26.120 You big sneaky guy.
00:12:28.080 But even they were like, it was terrible.
00:12:30.520 It was awful.
00:12:32.860 They didn't get a chance to talk about the issues.
00:12:34.860 They didn't get a chance to talk to each other.
00:12:36.600 They didn't get a chance to distinguish themselves from one another.
00:12:39.920 That's what debates are designed to do. 0.99
00:12:41.860 We're all watching to find out why are these guys different from each other?
00:12:45.640 Why do I care about their TV shows?
00:12:47.340 Like, why?
00:12:48.680 Because at the end of the day, when they will be prime minister, I don't care which book he's reading.
00:12:55.760 I want to know how it will lead our country and solve our problem.
00:13:00.800 And do a better Canada.
00:13:03.960 And his book that he's reading or the music that he's listening, that will not change anything on that.
00:13:10.640 Yeah.
00:13:11.040 Now, I will give it to Pierre Polyev when he was asked these questions.
00:13:16.360 He was, because I think sort of he was the last person to answer.
00:13:21.200 He knew what the crowd wanted to hear.
00:13:23.580 For example, when he was, I forget his TV show or whatever, but I remember when he asked about what book is he reading right now.
00:13:31.540 He said Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life, which is right across on my shelf there.
00:13:35.720 And when they said, you know, what music are you listening to right now?
00:13:40.600 He said Paul Brandt, who is an Alberta country music star, who is also really involved in fighting human trafficking in Alberta.
00:13:51.620 So he knew what the room wanted.
00:13:54.600 So he's able to think on his feet and answer those questions.
00:13:57.540 So good for him.
00:13:58.960 But what a waste of everybody's time in the room.
00:14:03.720 People paid 50 bucks, I think, to be there.
00:14:06.820 Oh, my God.
00:14:07.760 What a ripoff, right?
00:14:08.880 I want my money back if I was there.
00:14:13.060 But I really like the answer of Pierre Polyev about what he's listening.
00:14:18.500 He said on Netflix, he's listening.
00:14:20.940 It's like a documentary on communism.
00:14:23.580 And it was actually something that he said that he was learning from all the people get a dictator and tyranny and some path that he wants to avoid and put it back from Canada.
00:14:39.720 This is actually a pretty bright answer.
00:14:44.260 Yeah, yeah.
00:14:44.840 And I remember, I think it was Jean Charest when they asked him, oh, what book are you reading right now?
00:14:50.380 And he's like, oh, a book on Russia, but I can't remember the title.
00:14:55.020 And I'm like, no, you're not.
00:14:55.840 You're reading the Reader's Digest large print edition.
00:15:00.840 Now, at Rebel News, we have decided to send a message to the party, I think, on behalf of the membership.
00:15:07.960 Because we're not stumping for a party here.
00:15:12.360 But we think that it was a complete insult to the intelligence of conservative party voters yesterday.
00:15:22.340 And also a bit of an insult to the very deep talent pool of conservative journalists here in Alberta and in the West.
00:15:30.460 They could have brought in somebody from Saskatchewan like John Gormley.
00:15:34.460 Long time conservative radio host there.
00:15:38.040 Universally liked in the conservative movement.
00:15:40.480 He is very conservative, but not all that controversial.
00:15:43.780 We could have brought in Dave Rutherford, another retired, long time beloved conservative radio host here.
00:15:49.840 But they didn't do that.
00:15:50.940 And it was very insulting not only to, you know, conservative supporters, but also the people who have worked very hard to be conservative journalists and build a brand for themselves here in Alberta.
00:16:00.500 So we have a petition.
00:16:01.700 It's at noliberalmoderators.ca.
00:16:06.460 You can go there.
00:16:07.120 You can sign it.
00:16:07.960 You can send a bit of a cheeky message to the organizers of the conservative party debates that what we saw last night was an absolute disgrace.
00:16:17.520 It was everything we expected from Tom Clark, but it was sort of not expected from the conservative party.
00:16:25.780 I expected better from them.
00:16:27.240 They shouldn't be insulting their voters this way.
00:16:30.480 He made a mockery.
00:16:31.620 Our petition reads of the conservative party leadership debate in Edmonton.
00:16:35.300 They should know better than to hire a pro-liberal moderator.
00:16:38.920 Please sign our petition to make this a one-time occurrence.
00:16:45.060 Yeah, I, you know, I have those times where you go to get your nails done or whatever and the view is on TV and you're trapped and you're feeling like, what am I going to do listening to this for the next hour?
00:16:58.220 That's how I felt last night stuck in the room listening to Tom Clark, just getting stupider the whole time.
00:17:02.440 But I swear, I think the French debate should be more interesting because I don't know yet which journalist would be the moderator, but most of the time they bring pretty important topic on the situation.
00:17:20.240 So we'll see how it goes.
00:17:22.760 Unfortunately, you will not be there.
00:17:26.460 Yeah, it's too bad.
00:17:30.720 You're going to do a great job, though.
00:17:32.140 You're going to do a wonderful job covering that for us.
00:17:34.360 And I know you're going to ask tough questions and you're not going to take no for an answer or I won't answer for an answer from the likes of Jean Charest.
00:17:42.160 I'm sure of it.
00:17:44.220 I was surprised that he was answering to Adam Sos.
00:17:47.440 I was like, whoa.
00:17:49.740 But we saw his face at the beginning.
00:17:51.460 I was like, oh, he do his face as usual, usually, you know, like this kind of face of.
00:17:56.500 Oh, no.
00:18:00.600 Well, and we did ask him about Huawei and Adam asked a great question.
00:18:04.400 He put it to him saying, like, knowing now what we all know about Huawei, can you at least say that maybe you regret working for them?
00:18:12.640 And he still wouldn't say it.
00:18:15.740 No.
00:18:16.380 And that was an easy question.
00:18:18.140 That's, you know, you could easily say, yeah, I guess when I was working for them, I didn't realize that they were part and parcel of enforcing the social credit system.
00:18:28.280 If I had known that, I would not have worked for him.
00:18:30.900 That's a fair answer.
00:18:32.780 But he couldn't say that.
00:18:34.740 I guess he likes his money more than he likes his ethics.
00:18:37.280 No, I know.
00:18:39.020 I know Jean Charest was my premier for like nine years.
00:18:41.980 He would never, never play that it was wrong on something.
00:18:47.420 Yeah.
00:18:47.740 Never.
00:18:49.120 Yeah.
00:18:50.220 And our team, I think our team, our little tiny team of four journalists, we've got six questions to the candidates, which I think was great.
00:18:59.880 I think it was more than anybody else.
00:19:01.960 We asked a bunch of questions that conservatives, I think, want answers to.
00:19:05.540 Celine, who's an intern and who joined us during our convoy coverage.
00:19:11.280 She asked the first question out of the media scrum on gun rights, which I thought was great.
00:19:15.520 Maybe we have a clip of that.
00:19:20.000 Hi, Mr. Acheson.
00:19:21.580 Celine Gallus for Rebel News.
00:19:23.600 The Liberals have imposed a backdoor gun registry through an order in council which changes regulations to require retailers and sellers to collect data on purchasers.
00:19:32.860 New rules come into force May 18th.
00:19:35.700 Will you commit to repealing these?
00:19:38.280 I will.
00:19:39.020 Canada has among the most regulated firearms industry in the world.
00:19:42.720 The problem that we have in this country is the issue of illegal guns coming across our border and getting into the hands of gangs.
00:19:50.460 That's a much difficult challenge to deal with.
00:19:53.780 And you see the Liberals time and again using firearms and legal law-abiding firearms owners in this country as a whipping tool to try to lather up their base and generate votes while not dealing with the real issues.
00:20:07.160 Because it's the wrong approach for Canada.
00:20:10.660 What we need to do is address the real problem, not demonize law-abiding firearms owners.
00:20:17.400 Hi, Mr. Acheson.
00:20:19.800 I think that's a great job.
00:20:21.560 Yeah, it's actually true what he was saying.
00:20:23.940 It's like the black market and the guns that are coming up that is not registered that we need to be careful of.
00:20:31.260 And banned from Canada, not the registered ones that actually make their proof, pass their courses for having it.
00:20:40.380 Yeah.
00:20:40.800 Well, and it's interesting because I think this sort of brings us to some other news.
00:20:45.700 Although maybe I'm not sure if we need to be done talking to the debate quite yet.
00:20:49.660 But one of those ways that the guns get into the country are through Canada's completely porous open border.
00:20:56.220 And I think Quebec is acknowledging that this is a problem.
00:21:01.260 And they've asked for Roxham Road to be closed because the province can't handle this influx of refugees. 1.00
00:21:10.100 Spawned by Justin Trudeau's, I think it was 2017, welcome to Canada tweet.
00:21:15.360 He was sort of virtue signaling because Trump cracked down on illegal immigration and issued a travel ban from six failed states where you couldn't confirm anybody's identities.
00:21:25.620 And the mainstream media called this a Muslim ban.
00:21:29.900 That wasn't it.
00:21:31.140 And so you've done some great reporting on this.
00:21:33.460 Just how easy it is to get a person into the country.
00:21:37.100 So it's pretty easy to get an illegal firearm into the country.
00:21:41.180 And that is where the majority of our gang related firearms crimes are being facilitated.
00:21:48.080 Yeah, so most so it happened yesterday.
00:21:53.600 They did talk about Roxham Road most of the day and especially at the National Assembly.
00:21:59.460 Mr. Legault went out to say that now the increase to almost 100 illegal immigrants per day.
00:22:08.920 And that's mean that we will reach about 36,000 illegal immigrants at the end of the year.
00:22:15.900 And so Quebec cannot afford with the social like the welfare and especially with the health system and especially for the lodging because now the lodging is almost at the top capacity for them.
00:22:38.800 And it costs a lot for Quebec because they enter in our province, of course, for the lodging and for some other thing, the federal is paying for.
00:22:51.100 But a big part of it is Quebec and Quebec cannot follow up with their mental health issue and some health pain issue.
00:23:01.760 Some of them need to have support to like it's not everybody who are ready to.
00:23:06.440 OK, I'm in a new country. I can find a place to stay and find a job to to to to stay to.
00:23:15.220 And I was talking with some of them yesterday as well.
00:23:19.140 Some of the people were hanging out in the park and what they were saying is like the first trial that they receive is not because they've been arrested.
00:23:29.100 The first trial for their brown card for having the residency for four years.
00:23:36.340 And one of them say that I would be hurt in four years.
00:23:41.240 Yeah.
00:23:41.520 Four years.
00:23:42.160 And so what Legault was explaining is like the federal take too much time to receive them and heard their story that they just see after more than a year.
00:23:55.480 They say that usually it's minimum 14 months to herd one of these seekers of asylum.
00:24:04.120 And they realize afterwards that they were not running away from their country or they were not seeking asylum from their country for because of the word or danger.
00:24:15.540 They were just going in the country because they say that Canada was safe and good living.
00:24:22.820 That's it.
00:24:23.240 Well, and, you know, you think about the other ramifications a little bit down the road, but not too, too far off.
00:24:31.400 This is going to cause a housing crunch in Quebec.
00:24:34.400 You just can't have people flooding in if you don't have houses to put them all in.
00:24:39.700 And everybody needs a place to live.
00:24:42.300 And if market supply is not keeping up with the demand, it's going to drive the cost of housing through the roof in Quebec.
00:24:48.380 And especially you have some regulation that you cannot build where you want.
00:24:54.220 And they have a restriction on how many like houses that you can build per year.
00:24:59.660 And I know that close where my mom's live, no house is permitted anymore to be being built.
00:25:06.360 Same if they have like land. 0.91
00:25:08.620 So the big problem is like we cannot build more, but we'll receive like a tons of new people coming in.
00:25:16.620 And so the price is increasing and so people cannot afford it anymore.
00:25:22.160 And so people need to share some apartment all together.
00:25:25.820 So I don't think it's really healthy for a country, but as well for our province.
00:25:33.180 It's just, you know, you can't talk about inflation without talking about immigration numbers.
00:25:38.740 And that's legal, legal immigration numbers.
00:25:42.960 But it's even worse when you couple it with the illegal migration numbers.
00:25:48.520 Canada lets in, I think it's 300,000 immigrants a year.
00:25:53.480 So get in the line.
00:25:56.280 Don't walk in the back door.
00:25:58.020 And then four years to get a hearing.
00:26:00.120 A lot can happen in four years.
00:26:01.940 Perhaps you have a child on Canadian soil and they become your sponsor. 0.52
00:26:05.140 So it's why it's like, it's incredible one where I was just listening what they were telling me.
00:26:12.480 And I was, I asked them, did you just been scared to be arrested by police?
00:26:16.980 You know, you enter in the country and get arrested.
00:26:19.220 And they were, no, no, no, not at all.
00:26:22.100 I was like, okay, so you knew already that you were safe crossing and being arrested.
00:26:27.820 Wow.
00:26:30.540 Now, I want to move to something else that's happening in Quebec.
00:26:36.220 If people want us to continue talking about the debate, let us know in the chats.
00:26:41.720 But Quebec, I just saw this from Global News.
00:26:44.680 Quebec lost almost $1 billion on COVID-19 protective equipment, says the Auditor General.
00:26:52.540 So it sounds like Quebec's unpreparedness and its delayed reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic
00:26:58.600 led to the province losing almost a billion dollars on its procurement of personal protective equipment.
00:27:04.440 The government waited too long and then rushed into purchasing items such as masks and gloves at a higher price.
00:27:10.200 By the end of March 2021, the value of equipment purchased by the province had dropped by $938 million.
00:27:17.680 Of that amount, the province lost $671 million on the value of its stockpile, another $267 million connected to contracts for equipment and prepaid orders.
00:27:28.240 And I think this just goes hand in hand with the overwhelming amount of deaths that Quebec saw in its nursing homes,
00:27:35.220 both in private facilities but also in public facilities.
00:27:41.120 I looked into this number because every time you hear about this sort of stuff,
00:27:45.940 you hear the public sector unions saying, the problem is private health care.
00:27:50.260 The private health care agencies didn't take care of the people in the nursing homes. 0.99
00:27:53.940 So I went back and looked at the numbers and I'm like, no, the death rates are actually comparable.
00:27:59.560 And I think a lot of that has to do with the supplies not being there
00:28:03.480 and people also being much more scared of the disease than they needed to be.
00:28:09.280 So they didn't show up to work.
00:28:10.440 They can find old people into their rooms when they should have just treated them as though they caught a bad cold or a flu and treated them that way. 1.00
00:28:20.180 Instead, we treated them like they were a biohazard event and the outcomes were terrible.
00:28:26.180 Yeah, don't forget that Quebec had the most money spent on COVID advertising, fear, propaganda.
00:28:37.820 And as well, as you know, in the health care facility, the long-term one,
00:28:44.240 at the beginning of March, they were actually writing to the government saying,
00:28:49.100 we have no staff to take care of the people.
00:28:53.780 It was like an alarm bell, but nobody did nothing.
00:28:59.440 And it's why our death rate is the highest one in Canada.
00:29:04.760 We have the worst data and we had the most strict COVID-19 measure.
00:29:12.920 Yeah, I mean, it's just shocking how now they say the government has launched a few lawsuits to sue
00:29:22.840 against the price gouging that they experienced, but they didn't even start bulk purchasing supplies
00:29:29.660 until like the end of March, approximately a month after their first diagnosed COVID case.
00:29:39.500 But again, this goes back to the whole planning for a pandemic.
00:29:45.480 This didn't just happen in Quebec where nobody was prepared.
00:29:48.660 I think we were a little better here in Alberta, but the Public Health Agency of Canada,
00:29:53.760 they didn't have supplies.
00:29:56.220 They closed a warehouse in Saskatchewan and threw out everything that was in there because it was expired.
00:30:03.540 Well, you can still use expired rubber gloves in a pinch.
00:30:07.220 It's not like milk, right?
00:30:08.820 Like you could still use expired gowns.
00:30:12.800 You know, it's not ideal.
00:30:14.220 But again, it's not like a dairy product.
00:30:16.300 It's not going to go sour.
00:30:17.640 It just, you know, just sometimes you have to be more careful about degrading, but it's not.
00:30:24.280 It's better than nothing.
00:30:26.300 But with the Public Health Agency, they literally were left with nothing when they're like,
00:30:30.880 oh, it's expired.
00:30:32.020 Let's throw it all out.
00:30:33.160 Close the warehouse and never stock it back up.
00:30:35.640 And it seems like a lot of that happened in Quebec too.
00:30:37.680 Yeah, I just want to let you know that I helped in the health care facility at the beginning of the pandemic
00:30:44.620 because I just wanted to give help.
00:30:47.320 And the mask was really count, like they were counting it.
00:30:52.320 Like I was, I had the permission to take two per day because after a while,
00:30:58.280 the mask is not efficient at the jobs, if it's humid or anything, so you need to change it.
00:31:04.620 But I was just allowed to have two, not more.
00:31:09.900 The whole day.
00:31:10.760 So they were, yeah, they were keeping on key, like locking on a place.
00:31:16.120 Wow.
00:31:17.620 Wow.
00:31:18.060 It sounds like we've got lots of chats coming in today, which is great.
00:31:23.220 Let's just move into more nonsense.
00:31:26.520 And then we'll circle back and get to the chats.
00:31:31.940 We've got this from Ziri.net.
00:31:34.840 Can we bring that up?
00:31:35.900 Because this is more of the war on motherhood.
00:31:41.960 Anybody can be a mother, including a pregnant trans man, which if you are a pregnant trans man,
00:31:47.620 I don't care what your exterior looks like or how you feel.
00:31:51.120 You are still biologically a woman because it is the female of the species that carries the offspring. 1.00
00:31:57.640 So we've got this one.
00:31:58.800 And the reason I'm bringing this up is because this sort of nonsense came up in the debate.
00:32:04.060 We've got pregnant trans man stars in a Calvin Klein's Mother's Day campaign.
00:32:10.140 There's no, first of all, okay, if this is a man, then why is this man taking over a female-only space Mother's Day?
00:32:20.760 Where are the feminists on this issue if this person is a man? 1.00
00:32:24.120 But it sounds like we're conceding this person is actually a female, like just a female with a male-looking exterior.
00:32:33.360 As part of Mother's Day in the United States, Calvin Klein launched a campaign that went viral on social media.
00:32:39.240 Yeah, I bet it did.
00:32:40.020 So they show a photo of Roberto Beite, I think I'm saying that right, a pregnant trans man who's about to give birth to her baby Noah,
00:32:56.900 along with her partner, Erica Fija, a transgender woman.
00:33:03.000 I don't even know what's going on here.
00:33:05.000 But I don't know.
00:33:09.200 I'm a little bit speechless.
00:33:12.680 Why do we have to just leave Mother's Day alone?
00:33:16.140 You're having a baby.
00:33:18.740 Obviously, everybody still has their lower bits, as though I care. 1.00
00:33:22.000 I don't care about any of this stuff.
00:33:23.580 But why is this a major ad campaign on Mother's Day for underwear?
00:33:29.360 It's just like, it's just controversy for the sake of it.
00:33:32.580 But my only problem is like, you know, I have nothing against that.
00:33:38.760 Like, it's just...
00:33:39.540 I don't care, live your life.
00:33:41.040 Yeah, exactly.
00:33:41.980 But for an advertising, and especially like some children who doesn't know what is a transgender and say like,
00:33:48.120 what?
00:33:48.860 Oh, oh, men can have a baby now? 0.98
00:33:52.060 Like, you know, with the innocence, they will say, oh, so little boy will say, oh, maybe one day I will have a baby.
00:33:59.040 No, it's not working like that.
00:34:00.600 I'm sorry, you have a trick there.
00:34:03.780 You know, it just makes me feel like children are so innocent when they think it's always so pure.
00:34:12.420 And introducing some idea that maybe you as a man, you can probably have been like pregnant one day.
00:34:18.880 Because they don't realize that, oh, it's a woman, but they look like a man. 0.84
00:34:23.720 I don't know.
00:34:25.200 It's just not something that I will probably present in a big advertising.
00:34:29.940 I just think it's so...
00:34:33.120 I don't know.
00:34:35.640 It's just...
00:34:36.360 I think mothers... 0.99
00:34:37.680 Leave Mother's Day for women. 1.00
00:34:40.180 And if you are a man who's carrying a child, I think you might actually be a woman too.
00:34:45.460 And that's okay.
00:34:46.960 Look however you want.
00:34:48.220 But let's not pretend that you're not a woman.
00:34:49.640 Well, it's not in my business, but let's not pretend that you are not a woman. 0.96
00:34:57.580 And the reason I bring this up, because Mother's Day, I think, should be a women's only space. 0.76
00:35:01.940 We can move into this article from True North, because another women's only space is being invaded by men. 1.00
00:35:12.240 Feds have formalized a policy to allow biological males to serve prison sentences in women's prisons. 0.63
00:35:19.100 And this means that there will be no segregation of people who still have their biological male parts.
00:35:34.080 They will be allowed in the general female population in these prisons. 1.00
00:35:40.520 Really?
00:35:41.520 Yes.
00:35:41.960 And this...
00:35:46.960 David Menzies has covered this.
00:35:48.640 Protests outside women's prisons by old-school feminists who are saying, 0.66
00:35:54.940 you can't take a woman out of society, put her into the care and control of the state, 0.98
00:36:02.620 and then not at least do your best to keep her safe.
00:36:06.240 And the thing about women, many of these women who end up behind bars, 1.00
00:36:11.960 a lot of them have suffered sexual violence.
00:36:15.440 A lot of them, you know, they've suffered sexual violence as children that takes them into a life of criminality
00:36:21.520 and prostitution and drug abuse and the societal decay that surrounds their life because of those things.
00:36:28.160 Many of them end up being sex trafficked.
00:36:30.240 And, you know, I'm not excusing their crimes, but I am explaining how they ended up on the path they ended up on.
00:36:38.080 So then to put them in prison with men, where they're confined with men,
00:36:44.600 this is not how we should be dealing with this.
00:36:48.660 This is some of David Menzies' prior footage.
00:36:50.740 He actually had a person there who was transgender, who said,
00:36:55.900 you can't be doing this.
00:36:57.140 You just cannot be putting people who are still biologically male in with the women in the prison.
00:37:04.500 It's unsafe.
00:37:05.280 Alexa, what do you think?
00:37:11.660 I think I kind of agree because some of the women, like, you know, psychologically, 1.00
00:37:18.780 they are affected by, what do you say, like being raped or being victim of sexual abuse
00:37:27.220 and not being secure and thinking that maybe you have some men under a female, like, figure.
00:37:35.440 I think it can be more stressful and that can bring a lot of consequences in the illness of the mental issue.
00:37:45.200 So I don't think for the safety, especially because we never know, like, okay, I can understand that some people will say that,
00:37:53.680 but if they are in transition to be a female, they are not probably interested in a female.
00:38:00.260 That's not true.
00:38:02.920 It can be on a woman or a man's side, like, what do you like?
00:38:07.660 So we don't know how they can react in jail when they have no sex at all. 0.99
00:38:14.200 So for me, just we should separate by the natural sex, biological sex. 0.99
00:38:25.580 Yeah.
00:38:25.800 And, you know, in this True North article, they raise another issue here that I think is really important
00:38:32.040 because there are people also, besides the female offenders that are being imprisoned with, 0.99
00:38:37.260 potentially these could be formerly male sex offenders, by the way.
00:38:40.660 So these could be men who committed acts against children, then they get into the prison system,
00:38:47.760 then they transition, and then they get housed in a women's facility. 0.99
00:38:53.240 So that does happen.
00:38:55.220 I think just a couple of weeks ago, there was an offender who had gone that same route,
00:39:02.700 who then had impregnated another inmate in the prison where he was being housed.
00:39:10.720 But there's somebody else that we need to be concerned about in all of this,
00:39:13.800 and that is the prison guards.
00:39:15.420 Because by and large, prison guards at women's facilities are women. 1.00
00:39:19.520 Because we kind of acknowledge that you don't want male prison guards in a position of power
00:39:25.340 that can be abused.
00:39:26.940 So by and large, they're female. 0.93
00:39:28.700 But now you've got female prison guards. 1.00
00:39:30.920 And usually women's prisons are lower security. 1.00
00:39:37.380 The guards generally don't have weapons the same way that they would have in a male facility.
00:39:43.200 And this is one of the reasons why some of these male malingerers want to be transferred
00:39:48.780 into the female prisons. 1.00
00:39:49.940 It's a lot easier to go to a female prison, get a little bit more freedom. 1.00
00:39:54.360 Some, you know, there's not that level of aggression.
00:39:57.780 And women generally commit different crimes. 0.99
00:40:00.000 So they're not often the same sort of violent criminals that men are.
00:40:05.000 But the prison guards are largely women.
00:40:07.360 They're smaller.
00:40:08.180 And they don't have weapons.
00:40:10.100 The facility has different security protocols that are a lot less than what you'd see in
00:40:14.180 a male, you know, men to max security prison.
00:40:17.900 And so it becomes now dangerous for the female guards to deal with men who have transitioned 1.00
00:40:25.220 to female because they are also bigger than the guards now. 0.99
00:40:32.360 It's a little bit as, you know, the swimmer that changed on the woman's side that was
00:40:39.720 I'm most sure to win, but now it's like being sure to be more easier for the jail for them.
00:40:48.820 Yeah.
00:40:49.980 Yeah, this is just, I think it's just awful.
00:40:53.000 So they've adopted an interim policy.
00:40:56.060 This is from the True North article.
00:40:57.580 To place inmates in the prison of their choice, regardless of their anatomy or gender on their
00:41:04.840 identification documents, unless there are overriding health or safety concerns, which
00:41:11.420 cannot be solved.
00:41:12.620 So I guess until they prove themselves to not be a problem, they get to be whatever they
00:41:20.200 feel like.
00:41:21.320 If and it doesn't matter, they don't have to live like it beforehand.
00:41:25.580 They this can be something that they get convicted of murder.
00:41:29.100 And they say, oh, you know what, it's a little bit more comfortable to be serving out my 10
00:41:34.420 years to life in a lady's prison. 0.91
00:41:37.820 I guess I'm a lady now.
00:41:39.020 And that's going to happen.
00:41:40.320 It does happen.
00:41:44.220 It's terrible.
00:41:45.700 Yeah.
00:41:47.040 I'm not agreeing with the fact to let that go.
00:41:52.460 But who decided at the end?
00:41:55.920 Trudeau.
00:41:56.480 This was a Trudeau announced policy in 2017.
00:41:58.600 So I don't know why.
00:42:01.400 I don't know why he made this his hobby horse, but apparently it is.
00:42:06.040 And for a feminist to self-avowed feminists like Justin Trudeau, he is putting vulnerable
00:42:13.320 female offenders who are in care and control of the country, the state. 0.94
00:42:19.820 He's risking their safety now to just, I guess, prove a point to prove how tolerant he is.
00:42:26.420 You see, he gets to do these sorts of stuff because he has very low liability in all of
00:42:31.800 this.
00:42:32.380 It's not his safety being endangered.
00:42:34.880 It's not the safety of his wife being endangered.
00:42:37.140 It's not the safety of his daughter being endangered.
00:42:39.460 But it is the safety of somebody else's daughter being endangered.
00:42:42.720 And that's the problem here.
00:42:43.920 Mm-hmm.
00:42:45.380 I agree.
00:42:46.820 Totally.
00:42:48.360 Now, while we have you, Quebec-based story, Francois Amalega?
00:42:56.560 So it's really complicated.
00:42:58.240 Tell me how to say that.
00:42:59.140 Because he's from Cameroon.
00:43:02.920 So his name is actually Amalega.
00:43:05.740 And his family name is Francois.
00:43:08.260 But everybody say Francois Amalega because Francois is more used usually as a name.
00:43:12.300 It's a first name.
00:43:13.240 Yeah.
00:43:13.780 Yeah.
00:43:14.320 But for him, it's his family name.
00:43:16.240 But it's kind of confusing.
00:43:18.700 So it's why some people call him Amalega.
00:43:21.520 Some people call him Francois.
00:43:23.220 So he knows that.
00:43:24.780 So it doesn't bother him at all.
00:43:28.480 Yeah.
00:43:28.660 That was a really, really strange story.
00:43:33.420 He's a freedom fighter.
00:43:34.720 We can compare him as Chris Kye for the rest of Canada, English Canada.
00:43:39.620 But he's based in Montreal, Quebec.
00:43:43.980 So he's known since the beginning of the pandemic.
00:43:48.240 He's a mathematic teacher.
00:43:50.740 He's always been a quiet person.
00:43:53.620 But when the pandemic hit, he saw the right and the freedom of the people getting away.
00:44:00.180 So he raised his voice and he went to take back the freedom and the right of the Québécois, as well as the Canadians.
00:44:08.220 And so he did a lot of movement where he was not wearing a mask.
00:44:13.600 He received a lot of tickets, a lot.
00:44:16.040 We talk about 60, 70.
00:44:17.960 I don't count anymore.
00:44:19.300 But recently, he went to see the prime minister and he just questioned him.
00:44:26.560 He didn't have been violent.
00:44:28.180 He just raised his voice a little bit saying, like, are you stupid or incompetent to talk about the relance, economic relance, when you see your people being ostracized still by the vaccine passport?
00:44:44.080 So after that, he got arrested and he had, like, some condition to not be close from the prime minister.
00:44:51.400 We call prime minister in French, but he's the premier of Quebec for not being close to 300 meters.
00:44:59.100 But afterwards, he went to protest at Radio Canada, CBC, because our premier was there for a recording of a show.
00:45:09.440 So he got arrested that time.
00:45:11.320 It was the 16th of January.
00:45:14.440 And he never got released until the 9th of May.
00:45:21.020 So he spent almost four months in jail, waiting for a different trial that he had.
00:45:30.840 Most of them, he had been played on guilty.
00:45:36.500 So he was found on guilty.
00:45:38.940 Just one of them, he has been found guilty.
00:45:43.160 But what he said to me when he was transferred from jail to jail in Trois-Rivières, it was really awful.
00:45:54.320 So he stopped to eat for a week, saying that he wanted to be transferred to another prison.
00:45:59.720 He filled the complaint against the jail where he was mistreated.
00:46:03.780 They put in with, like, handcuff, handcuff for the feet and handcuff between end and feet.
00:46:11.560 And they were, like, just carrying him, like, a little bit everywhere.
00:46:14.940 This is what he said to me.
00:46:16.520 It's like most of the canteen, like, when you order some stuff, he never had it to him.
00:46:23.580 They put him in quarantine for more than the first time, 14 days.
00:46:28.580 They were forcing him almost to take the COVID-19 test, putting him again for 10 days of quarantine in a really small, like, piece.
00:46:39.180 Everything, like, forcing him to wear a mask when he had the handcuff, putting it in his face.
00:46:45.220 And so for him, it was really important to be released without condition because he was saying, I didn't do anything wrong.
00:46:53.020 I just disagree with what the government imposed to his citizens and stop the right and the freedom of their own citizens.
00:47:04.700 So it was like, I didn't do anything wrong.
00:47:07.240 I'm not going to be released with condition.
00:47:09.880 It's why they kept him in jail for almost four months.
00:47:14.560 But you have a rule that you cannot keep a prisoner more than 90 days when you know that the sentence would probably be less than that.
00:47:26.240 So it's why they were probably obligated to release him at the end.
00:47:31.820 Well, what's shocking here is he's been completely peaceful.
00:47:35.260 Completely peaceful.
00:47:36.740 People who beat their wives, abuse their kids, steal from you, they don't get anywhere, anywhere near the time that he got.
00:47:47.880 And normally, they get bail.
00:47:50.160 All they have to do is go before a judge and say, I promise I won't do it again.
00:47:54.040 And they get bail while they await trial.
00:47:56.480 But not Francois.
00:47:58.720 He was held as though he were, you know, a serious risk to the community.
00:48:04.060 But he's never been anything but completely peaceful.
00:48:08.300 He's called for peace.
00:48:09.320 I've seen videos where he's telling people, we have to be peaceful.
00:48:14.020 You know, we can't give them what they want from us.
00:48:16.700 And I think that's why they had to get him off the streets and hide him away for four months is because he's very effective in his message.
00:48:23.700 So what's the best thing to do if you want to get somebody to shut up?
00:48:29.000 Hide them away.
00:48:29.920 Put them in prison, I guess.
00:48:31.100 And it's funny because what he was saying to me, he said, I don't know what happened when I was in jail, but I started to receive a lot of tickets.
00:48:41.680 But some tickets from other, like previous protests, like some years ago, where he was not wearing a mask.
00:48:49.320 And it was like, dude, they went to all my profile on Facebook and look at all the protests that have been that I was not respecting the rule.
00:48:58.060 And they sent me like all these tickets that I don't even remember I was present that day.
00:49:05.000 It was like, how is it can be?
00:49:08.140 They say like he received tons of it, tons.
00:49:10.400 And some of he received a ticket from the police because he stopped his car because the police stopped him.
00:49:19.220 So he's just stopped the car where he was arrested.
00:49:21.820 And he got the ticket because he stopped at the wrong place.
00:49:25.700 Oh, my goodness.
00:49:27.600 Yeah.
00:49:28.120 I think I think I think it was you in one of your videos.
00:49:32.460 He was at the time probably had 50 or $60,000 worth of fines.
00:49:38.520 Does that sound right?
00:49:39.840 Now, now it's way more than that.
00:49:42.420 So he actually say that they don't want to be really represent by a lawyer because he say the justice is more mostly all in the same package because he say, like, if you want to be a lawyer, you need to be vaccinated shot.
00:50:01.460 So all you can be straight to your head, all you can be objective on what is going on.
00:50:10.340 And it was like, I know what I did.
00:50:12.280 I know why I did it.
00:50:14.140 And I think I'm the best one to talk about what happened that day and for which purpose I am doing it.
00:50:22.800 And some of the judge that he had when they released him, they say that I am so sorry you needed to pass through this time in jail for something that we cannot prove.
00:50:37.560 And it's just so objective that we are sorry and we don't understand why they kept you in jail.
00:50:46.500 So, yeah, yeah, I mean, they're doing this to all the high profile objectors who are completely peaceful, like Pastor R, like Pastor James Coates.
00:50:55.660 It doesn't matter if you're bombastic and over the top or quiet and peaceful like Tim Stevens or Francois.
00:51:03.380 It doesn't matter because in the end, your crime is the same.
00:51:06.940 You didn't do what they told you to do.
00:51:08.800 So, you chose to live your life the way you saw fit.
00:51:12.700 And what he was saying as well is say, but if you can see, they always take the talker one, the big speaker, they take it away from the crowd.
00:51:22.880 So, the crowd is not rising up as we saw with Tamara Lynch or other like a big leader as Chris Carr or whatever.
00:51:31.800 When they were taking away the leader, they had less people in the street afterwards, less people raising their voice afterwards because they take away the biggest masterpiece.
00:51:45.380 Yeah, yeah, it's true.
00:51:47.100 Now, I know we have a ton of chats coming in today and I think we have nine minutes left in the show.
00:51:51.780 So, let's see if we can get to these.
00:51:54.200 So, Trini Canadian, she's a regular viewer and a regular donator to our streams.
00:52:00.440 Appreciate her very much.
00:52:01.800 Sorry, I'm shuffling around trying to find my glasses.
00:52:06.940 Trini Canadian says, Tom Clark and the Conservative Party of Canada could take a few lessons on how to put together a debate from Avi and Rookshan on their debate in Australia.
00:52:17.940 Well done, Avi.
00:52:18.620 Yeah, they, Australia is in the middle of an election and our team down there put together a debate and thoughtful and people actually got to talk.
00:52:31.040 Instead of just the moderator.
00:52:32.040 So, that's cool.
00:52:34.580 That's usually how it's supposed to work.
00:52:37.180 Adam Ottawa gives us a buck.
00:52:39.240 The media party said the debate was vicious, though I thought it was pretty lame-o.
00:52:44.060 The only thing vicious was how people reacted to Tom Clark because he was terrible.
00:52:49.960 They booed him.
00:52:50.800 I've never seen a moderator booed.
00:52:54.200 Like, he was booed as boisterously as Jean Charest was booed.
00:52:59.900 Which is probably, Jean Charest was probably grateful that there was somebody the crowd disliked more than him for what.
00:53:05.220 I agree with that.
00:53:09.360 Adam Ottawa also gives us a buck, says, charade, must live in a bubble.
00:53:13.560 He claimed all sorts of falsehoods, convinced he's a plant.
00:53:16.880 I feel like he's like Hillary Clinton where he feels like this is just his turn.
00:53:21.640 And so he's running because it's his turn to be in charge.
00:53:24.740 He's going to lose, too.
00:53:26.240 Like Hillary. 1.00
00:53:29.320 Adam Ottawa gives us a buck, says, brown is a liar.
00:53:31.680 When he said he was the most lockdown-resistant, yes, complete liar, he chained up the parks.
00:53:38.880 He fenced off the playgrounds.
00:53:41.460 He sent security guards to the cemetery to make sure that people were social distancing outside at funerals.
00:53:49.900 He spent millions of dollars on this stuff.
00:53:52.760 He was the worst, saying he was the most lockdown-resistant.
00:53:56.360 Yeah, maybe for himself when he was out playing hockey.
00:53:59.160 I know the kids were locked down, but generally speaking, he was one of the most pro-lockdown mayors in the entire country, given Calgary a run for their money.
00:54:11.120 And he's also lying when he said, I asked him, because it's a question that puts him out of step with the entire Conservative Party.
00:54:19.020 I asked him if he's going to move the embassy to where it belongs in the capital of Jerusalem.
00:54:24.640 And the reason I asked that question is because it shows how he's – the whole party is over here thinking, yeah, you put the embassy in the capital.
00:54:35.140 We don't let terrorists tell us what we do.
00:54:39.060 And he's like, no, no, it's going to hamper the peace process if I move it to Jerusalem.
00:54:46.440 I'll let him answer my question, and then I'll tell you why he's a liar and stupid.
00:54:51.160 Hang on.
00:54:52.820 It was articulated under Stephen Harper's government, which was not to move the government as it would make the peace process more difficult.
00:55:00.480 Sheila Gunn-Reed, Rebel News.
00:55:02.080 Okay, that's fine.
00:55:03.760 Peace process.
00:55:04.200 The reason – the peace – okay, so yeah.
00:55:07.460 But the thing is, Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem where it belongs.
00:55:13.700 And then you know what Trump did?
00:55:15.040 Signed a bunch of peace accords.
00:55:16.400 They're called the Abraham Accords. 0.96
00:55:18.020 And peace broke out in the Middle East.
00:55:20.240 So everybody told Donald Trump, you can't move the embassy to Jerusalem because – because, by the way, that's the bigotry of low expectations, thinking the Palestinians can't behave themselves because the embassy moved.
00:55:33.480 That's bigotry.
00:55:34.440 I think they can.
00:55:35.660 And I know they did because Trump moved the embassy to where it belongs.
00:55:40.080 The Canadian conservatives have a longstanding pro-Israel stance because it's this little beacon of democracy surrounded by terror. 0.74
00:55:48.500 And when Trump moved the embassy, nothing happened.
00:55:54.080 Peace broke out in the Middle East.
00:55:56.440 Why wouldn't he be in lockstep with the party on that issue?
00:56:01.980 I have my suspicions.
00:56:05.120 Anyway.
00:56:06.140 But yeah, he said it would hamper the peace process.
00:56:08.780 The exact opposite happened when the Americans did it. 0.60
00:56:11.400 The exact opposite.
00:56:12.140 Peace broke out for once.
00:56:14.420 Anyway, let's keep going.
00:56:15.540 Adam Ottawa says, I actually like Babber, I think is how I say it.
00:56:21.040 Not sure if he's ready to be leader, but he's genuine and he knows the real issues.
00:56:24.940 I think he's sincere.
00:56:27.140 You know, you can sort of tell when politicians are telling you what they think you want to hear, but you're not sure if they actually believe it.
00:56:34.460 I fully believe Roman Babber believes the things that he says.
00:56:37.460 And I don't take umbrage with him on maybe one policy issue, but I think he is a decent, genuine human being who actually tells you what he believes, which is kind of rare in politics.
00:56:52.460 The only problem, I really like him, but I find him that, I don't know, not enough strong, like, is not enough, like, I would say maybe aggressive or anything.
00:57:04.900 He's always keeping, like, quiet in his own bubble.
00:57:08.160 And when he have the right to talk, he'd take it.
00:57:11.460 But he'd never go, like, go away when you have something that you really believe that he wants to say.
00:57:17.900 Yeah.
00:57:18.340 Yeah.
00:57:18.720 Yeah.
00:57:19.120 He's not overly aggressive on this stage.
00:57:21.860 He's sort of calm.
00:57:23.000 Aitchison is like that, too.
00:57:24.440 Although I think Aitchison is kind of annoyed with the whole process.
00:57:27.840 That's the vibe I get from him.
00:57:29.960 But I think it's just his personality.
00:57:31.960 He's not a bombastic, aggressive person.
00:57:34.900 He's just sort of a quiet communicator.
00:57:37.220 I do like Roman Babber.
00:57:38.700 I sure do.
00:57:39.160 Yeah.
00:57:39.520 World's Worst Gamer gives us a buck.
00:57:42.460 I am not free.
00:57:43.280 I never was.
00:57:45.040 Adam Ottawa gives us two bucks.
00:57:46.600 The moderator was so concerned about time discipline, but spent a lot of time on their personal interests, like books and mainstream broadcast TV.
00:57:54.700 Isn't that true?
00:57:57.160 It was like a 90-second preamble from Tom Clark before he gave the people 15 seconds to answer his stupid question nobody wanted to hear anyway.
00:58:06.600 It was the Tom Clark show.
00:58:09.520 It was a promotion for a TV show and a book show.
00:58:13.840 Yeah.
00:58:14.980 Yeah.
00:58:15.540 I think Tom Clark wants to be back on TV, like he wants to host a variety show with politicians.
00:58:23.060 Cheryl Don V gives us a buck. 1.00
00:58:25.160 Excuse me, candidates.
00:58:26.480 The last thing you ate in the color of your underwear, what is your stripper name?
00:58:31.240 Yeah.
00:58:32.180 I was, I was, I asked, I think I asked Pierre Polyev's brother what his favorite flavor of ice cream was.
00:58:39.680 I'm like, let's pretend for a minute I'm Tom Clark.
00:58:41.540 What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
00:58:43.000 It's boring.
00:58:44.000 It's boring.
00:58:45.020 Who cares?
00:58:46.720 Jeffersonian Patriot gives us five bucks.
00:58:48.720 If they watch Netflix with its past pedophile problems, then that's a concern.
00:58:54.220 Look, sometimes I watch Netflix too.
00:58:56.860 Me too.
00:58:57.320 There's some, there's some things on there that I, I want to see.
00:59:00.560 I just don't watch those things that I think are gross.
00:59:04.100 And there's plenty of things on Netflix where I'm like, I never want to watch this.
00:59:07.780 Never.
00:59:08.520 Like who's that awful, boring female comedian? 1.00
00:59:11.920 It doesn't matter.
00:59:13.260 Nobody knows anyway.
00:59:14.160 Cause she's boring and unfunny, but I never watch her stuff. 0.99
00:59:17.800 Not Hannah Gadsby.
00:59:19.160 Thank you, Olivia.
00:59:19.860 Who's the other one?
00:59:21.780 She's blonde. 1.00
00:59:24.380 It doesn't matter.
00:59:26.280 Amy Schumer.
00:59:27.360 Thank you.
00:59:28.040 Oh yeah, I like it.
00:59:29.300 Do you, if I commit a terrorism offense and I get sent to Gitmo, you can torture me with
00:59:34.720 Amy Schumer sets because I find her just insufferable and boring. 1.00
00:59:39.020 It's hard to watch.
00:59:39.560 Oh no, it's just sometimes I find that her joke is kind of funny.
00:59:46.080 You know what?
00:59:47.640 That's the thing.
00:59:48.480 There you go.
00:59:49.340 There's stuff on Netflix for everybody.
00:59:54.880 Adam Ottawa gives us a buck.
00:59:56.440 If you have to tell people what color their tie is, you're not real. 0.95
00:59:59.440 Yes.
00:59:59.800 I'm talking about Sheree.
01:00:01.860 AMT 60, a buck.
01:00:03.780 I'm more concerned about the World Health Organization Pandemic Treaty Conference, May 22nd to 28th,
01:00:10.040 where the 193 countries vote on whether the World Health Organization could take control
01:00:14.780 of any country pandemic response and sovereignty given up.
01:00:18.580 Yeah, that's a real concern.
01:00:20.060 And then, you know, when people ask about, you know, like what about how much we are being
01:00:26.360 World Health Organization compliant, certain members of the Conservative Party say that's
01:00:31.520 a conspiracy theory.
01:00:33.500 Mm-hmm.
01:00:34.820 Oh, we saw that.
01:00:37.000 Yeah.
01:00:37.620 From my friend.
01:00:39.680 Your friend.
01:00:40.180 Yeah, I would say, hey, I would say my friend, but he's not.
01:00:45.680 Yeah.
01:00:46.400 Yeah.
01:00:46.660 And they say this stuff is a conspiracy theory, but it's definitely not.
01:00:50.040 And we should be concerned, even at the most basic level, when the World Health Organization
01:00:55.580 is credibly accused of basically being butt kissers to China and covering up for China all
01:01:01.620 the time.
01:01:02.060 And then we have Teresa Tam as one of the seven, I think, board member, advisory board members.
01:01:09.380 And she's also the chief medical officer of our country, makes you wonder, is she doing 0.86
01:01:16.460 what's in the best interest of the World Health Organization, which is, you know, on its knees
01:01:21.540 for China, or is she doing what's in the best interest of Canada?
01:01:25.060 And I think if you really take a look at the decisions that she's made, she's really not
01:01:30.160 examining the evidence as it unfolds in Canada.
01:01:32.980 She's doing something completely different.
01:01:38.100 Ian Black gives us five bucks.
01:01:40.860 I'm slightly interested in what the mainstream media are saying about the debates last night,
01:01:45.020 so I'm happy to pay you to watch just so I don't have to.
01:01:48.940 OK, I will watch because I am curious.
01:01:51.600 OK, that was one of my questions.
01:01:53.760 That was one of my questions I wanted to ask to the people after the debate.
01:01:57.560 But as it turns out, everybody was so bored, they just went home to bed.
01:02:01.140 By the time we were done this scrum, everybody was gone.
01:02:05.100 Like 500 plus people had just been like, I'm out of here.
01:02:08.580 I had all the Tom Clark I can take.
01:02:10.700 And they left.
01:02:11.520 And usually people linger around and visit and network and talk and have a drink.
01:02:15.660 They were all gone.
01:02:16.780 We did a half an hour of scrum and it was like tumbleweeds rolling through the building.
01:02:20.660 Everybody had gone home.
01:02:21.640 And I wanted to ask them who they thought won because I wanted to compare that to who
01:02:26.340 the mainstream media will say won.
01:02:29.500 It's like sometimes we watch two.
01:02:31.840 We're watching the same thing, but they may as well be watching something completely different.
01:02:37.080 So I would probably need to do the live stream after the French debate to recap what people
01:02:44.220 have said during the French one.
01:02:46.920 Yes.
01:02:47.260 Because Becca Henderson gives us a buck on Twitter. 1.00
01:02:49.960 There have been pro-choice people shaming pro-life women who have had miscarriages and saying
01:02:53.940 they purposefully caused their miscarriages.
01:02:56.260 Heartless bullies and thugs.
01:02:57.600 Oh, the loving left.
01:02:58.500 You know, we have wherever you fall down on this issue.
01:03:03.100 Although I sort of wear my politics on my sleeve.
01:03:07.340 We have teams covering the March for Life in Edmonton, Toronto and Ottawa today.
01:03:12.460 And the reason we're doing that is because it is our journalistic mission to tell the
01:03:16.640 other side of the story.
01:03:18.000 What many people don't know, and this is a failing of the mainstream media, the single 0.60
01:03:22.060 largest demonstration in this country every single year is the March for Life in Ottawa.
01:03:27.080 And you will not see it on the mainstream media.
01:03:30.340 They won't tell you that it's overwhelmingly female.
01:03:32.660 They will not tell you it is overwhelmingly young people.
01:03:35.340 They will not tell you it is often overwhelmingly minority.
01:03:38.600 I know what it's like that in Edmonton, it's overwhelmingly young female minority. 1.00
01:03:44.560 And yet the mainstream media will tell you it's old white men trying to control women's 0.57
01:03:49.140 bodies.
01:03:49.420 And that is not the narrative.
01:03:51.220 So wherever you fall down on this issue, what you can agree with me on is that the mainstream
01:03:57.200 media gets this completely wrong.
01:04:00.440 I agree with that because since I'm in Quebec, I've never heard that we had really pro-life
01:04:06.920 much before.
01:04:09.300 Yeah, it's, you know, there will be maybe, I think it's tens and tens and tens of thousands,
01:04:15.180 but I think some years it approaches, like approaches 100,000 people in Ottawa.
01:04:21.480 And the only thing you might hear the mainstream media talk about is the traffic snarl caused
01:04:26.400 by it.
01:04:26.940 But they won't ever even say it's because there are all these people saying we need a
01:04:32.740 law that restricts this at some point.
01:04:35.860 Because in Canada, we joined China and North Korea in not having a law that restricts it 0.51
01:04:41.640 at any point during pregnancy.
01:04:44.000 That's the one thing the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about either.
01:04:46.900 They say, oh, you know, it's about people that want to control women's bodies. 1.00
01:04:50.680 Sometimes it's people who say fully formed human beings are not created human by virtue
01:04:56.180 of passing through the magical birth canal.
01:04:58.420 At some point, maybe they are independent human beings from their mothers, and they
01:05:03.180 don't need the magical birth canal to turn them into a human being.
01:05:06.820 There are those people out there, too.
01:05:08.460 So it's a very, it is dishonest reporting you'll get from the mainstream media.
01:05:14.580 But luckily enough, we've got teams in cities all across the country to bring you the other
01:05:18.220 side of the story.
01:05:22.460 GGCT, 10 bucks.
01:05:24.140 Just sending some love to you amazing ladies. 1.00
01:05:26.020 Well, thank you so much.
01:05:27.020 Thanks both for your great work.
01:05:29.480 I did vote for Alexa as my favorite rebel reporter.
01:05:33.480 You know, a lot of people.
01:05:34.100 Thank you.
01:05:36.920 Thank you.
01:05:38.820 I was the first loser behind Avi, but I was the best Canadian.
01:05:43.580 Yeah, exactly.
01:05:45.480 But I also have, I'm a bit of a ringer because I have three live streams a week.
01:05:51.860 Plus, I frequently fill in for Ezra, and I have my own fully produced paywalled show.
01:05:57.320 And I also do a video a day.
01:05:59.180 And I also write articles.
01:06:01.000 So you might be deluged with my content sometimes.
01:06:04.980 So I end up being top of mind.
01:06:06.720 I might not be favorite.
01:06:07.640 I think I'm just top of mind.
01:06:09.760 You know what I mean?
01:06:10.480 You're getting all the Sheila you can have.
01:06:11.800 I think you're my favorite, though.
01:06:15.920 Uh-oh.
01:06:17.060 I'm not the person you have to talk about to get a raise.
01:06:20.720 So you don't have to pretend.
01:06:23.580 Okay, we've got Lisa Proust.
01:06:25.500 The wonderful, amazing Lisa Proust.
01:06:27.500 Good to see you around, Lisa.
01:06:29.300 Gives us 10 bucks.
01:06:30.520 Says, my two favorite ladies together live. 1.00
01:06:32.740 It's a super special day.
01:06:33.800 Love you both.
01:06:34.700 She's just the nicest lady. 1.00
01:06:35.800 Have you met Lisa?
01:06:38.160 Yeah, I met her. 0.89
01:06:39.840 Yeah.
01:06:40.300 Yeah.
01:06:40.600 I haven't met her in person.
01:06:42.540 She's lovely.
01:06:44.400 Yeah, that's what I hear.
01:06:45.660 David Menzies speaks very highly.
01:06:48.020 Cindy Mick 888 gives us 20 bucks.
01:06:50.820 Well, that's so kind.
01:06:52.680 Thank you.
01:06:53.280 Love to see you both together.
01:06:54.520 Yes.
01:06:55.120 We should do this.
01:06:55.900 Thank you.
01:06:56.800 Yeah.
01:06:57.800 Yeah.
01:06:59.160 It's hard to get rid of David, but I can send him out on assignment a little bit more frequently on Thursdays.
01:07:04.800 Thursdays, I have those powers.
01:07:07.400 Fraser McBurney, our friend from Hamilton, gives us five bucks.
01:07:11.060 I thought you would like to read without your glasses.
01:07:15.080 LOL.
01:07:15.520 That's why he used, he always uses cap locks and I always tease him about using cap locks.
01:07:20.320 He loves his cap locks, but he apparently he's just been looking out for me all the time because I can't see anything.
01:07:27.700 Albertan in awe gives us five bucks.
01:07:29.620 Who's this idiot Tom Clark?
01:07:32.000 Extremely poor debate, terrible questions, fire whomever hired him.
01:07:35.600 What conservative agreed to his presence?
01:07:37.820 Now, when I was talking to my friends in the conservative party yesterday, they said he did a really good job.
01:07:44.780 I think it was in 2017, they said.
01:07:48.180 And so maybe that's why they had him back.
01:07:51.480 But I don't know.
01:07:52.500 You're in Alberta.
01:07:53.580 There are so many conservative journalists.
01:07:55.420 And I'm not saying me.
01:07:57.000 Get Danielle Smith. 1.00
01:07:58.640 Get, you know, Rick Bell.
01:08:00.440 Get, you know, get John Gormley to reflect the prairie.
01:08:04.800 Something could have done a better job than Tom Clark.
01:08:07.460 It felt very colonial.
01:08:08.680 It's exactly what Alberta conservatives hate. 0.88
01:08:10.520 We hate people from Ottawa and Ontario telling us what we're supposed to care about.
01:08:17.140 And Tom Clark came and told us we care about TV shows.
01:08:21.060 Anyway.
01:08:21.900 We should probably write to ask why they took the decision to take him as the moderator.
01:08:28.340 Yeah.
01:08:29.160 Yeah.
01:08:29.820 I've got a video in me about this.
01:08:31.300 Stay tuned, everybody.
01:08:32.180 I feel like I have a lot to say.
01:08:34.600 Fraser McBurnian gives us five bucks.
01:08:37.080 One question I would ask, when will you defend the Canadian borders by closing Roxham Road?
01:08:41.960 Yeah.
01:08:42.820 Yeah.
01:08:43.100 If we were able, they, basically the party said one question per candidate per outlet.
01:08:51.480 So, you know, we just had the questions that we had, but we had a whole list of questions.
01:08:56.620 If we're able to ask questions, we could have just hammered them with questions all night.
01:09:01.180 One of them was Roxham Road.
01:09:02.340 We wanted to talk about immigration levels versus inflation because everybody's talking about inflation, but nobody talks about, well, we have to resettle 300,000 people every single year.
01:09:12.140 Do we have the housing to do that?
01:09:14.420 Maybe we'll slow down until housing catches up, you know, so that people aren't priced out of the housing market in places like Toronto and Vancouver.
01:09:22.620 And I'm not talking about, you know, like old stock Canadians, as they say, I'm saying everybody, you, if you're coming in as a legal immigrant, thank you for coming in legally.
01:09:32.520 I would like you to be able to buy a house too, but we can't do that when we're taking in so many legal immigrants every single year. 1.00
01:09:39.320 It's something we need to talk about and nobody is.
01:09:42.100 And it's an issue that it doesn't matter if you vote NDP, liberal or conservative.
01:09:47.180 I think it's two thirds of people say immigration levels, once you tell them what they are, are too high.
01:09:53.900 But we still have a debate to come.
01:09:56.400 So stay tuned, everybody.
01:09:58.440 Man, that's a great question for you.
01:10:00.900 Especially given your proximity to Roxham Road.
01:10:03.600 World's worst gamer gives us a buck.
01:10:07.320 If the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup finally this year, there will be world peace.
01:10:11.760 I don't know, because David might get a little chaotic if that happens.
01:10:15.460 He's been waiting for close to his entire life for the Toronto Maple Leafs to win the Stanley Cup.
01:10:21.780 And boy, he'll be pretty darn very excited about that.
01:10:26.680 We are 10 minutes over.
01:10:28.660 I have some important work to do after this.
01:10:32.740 Thank you so much, Alexa.
01:10:34.500 Sorry.
01:10:36.740 No.
01:10:37.740 Okay.
01:10:38.340 So we are going to, I'm just going to wrap up the show.
01:10:41.140 But stay with us because we have a really fun ad that the ladies from Misunderstood put together.
01:10:47.700 So if you wouldn't mind sticking around for that, everybody who's watching.
01:10:51.060 But I'll just wrap the show up now.
01:10:52.580 Alexa, thank you so much for subbing in for David Menzies.
01:10:56.180 You are fantastic.
01:10:58.180 Our viewers think so, too.
01:10:59.540 That's pretty clear.
01:11:00.640 Thank you, too.
01:11:03.360 Go ahead.
01:11:04.080 I'd add that we would be free in Quebec today.
01:11:07.900 That is a really important day for us.
01:11:10.020 No mask anymore.
01:11:11.780 Oh, so exciting.
01:11:13.720 Not that you've been hiding your pretty face anyway.
01:11:15.700 Thank you to everybody in the office who puts the show together and everybody on the web team and who works behind the scenes to make sure that there are clickable links for you to tune in to watch us because that is a big job some days.
01:11:29.740 And thank you, like I said, to everybody who tuned in.
01:11:33.100 Thank you to everybody who contributes to keep the lights on here at Rebel News.
01:11:35.780 There are a lot of chats today, a lot of comments about the debate.
01:11:39.980 And people were very generous today.
01:11:41.900 So maybe we should sub David out a little more often.
01:11:45.240 Anyway, speaking of David, as David Menzies always says, stay sane.
01:11:49.340 We'll be right back.
01:12:19.340 We'll be right back.
