Rebel News Podcast - DAILY ｜ COVID Over In Alberta？ Trudeau Still Mad At Plastics

00:00:00.000 Warning. Censorship. Warning. Censorship. Warning. Censorship.

00:00:10.100 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. You have tuned in to the Rebel News livestream on this, a Thursday, July 29th, 2021.

00:00:20.320 I'm David Menzies and my co-host, oh my co-host, she is the Huntress Supreme.

00:00:25.660 She is the she-devil with a sword. Alisi of Northern Alberta. She is Sheila Gunn-Reed. How you doing today, Sheila? 0.72

00:00:35.440 David, I'm doing great and actually I'm doing better than I even expected because I don't know if you know,

00:00:41.600 but yesterday the pandemic was officially pronounced over in Alberta. We've moved into endemic territory

00:00:49.160 and I think it's on the list of things that we need to go to, but we're going to be basically restriction-free

00:00:55.500 including quarantine-free and this case-demic testing everybody who has a sniffle, that's over too,

00:01:03.140 so I'm really excited to talk about that. Well, congratulations and Sheila, I love your t-shirt,

00:01:09.200 Defund AHS. I suppose you're not saying you're against people going, ah, you know,

00:01:17.060 when they have a nice beer on a hot day. I think AHS, Alberta Health Services, am I correct?

00:01:22.260 Yep, got it, got it. You know what, there's too many bureaucrats telling us all how to live our 1.00

00:01:29.180 lives and that I think has really been the one eye-opener for people who, you know, are strong

00:01:35.480 advocates of public health care. I'm not sure that I am, but even those people have come around to the

00:01:41.140 idea that there are too many middle managers eating up too much money in Alberta Health Services making

00:01:46.960 decisions that could destroy your business, separate you from your grandparents and tell you

00:01:52.020 exactly who you can have in your house. So gut it, let's rethink public health care, especially during

00:01:59.120 that we've come through this pandemic. The idea that the entire public health care system was ill-prepared

00:02:07.720 for basically a bad flu, I think should be an eye-opener to everybody that there's a lot of waste

00:02:14.200 happening in the public health care system. Yeah, but you know, Sheila, I, my suspicion is that a lot

00:02:19.760 of those people, a lot of the health bureaucrats, a lot of the folks at Alberta Health Services,

00:02:24.640 they're going to have a hard time going back to the way things were in like 2019. They've had a taste of

00:02:35.020 totalitarian power, I think. I think they love the taste. I don't think they want to give it up.

00:02:40.560 You know, I think they're probably pining for more variants of the coronavirus. That's my suspicion.

00:02:49.380 I also want the entire legal department defunded at Alberta Health Services.

00:02:55.500 You know, the idea that we have lawyers working for Alberta Health Services as public health

00:03:02.640 prosecutors, as they like to call themselves, and they are going around continuing the ongoing

00:03:07.480 persecution, prosecution, pastors, business owners asking for 21 days in jail in the case of Pastor

00:03:14.660 Art Poloski and Chris Scott. Defund those guys too. I'm not against frontline workers. I'm not against

00:03:21.020 the janitorial staff. I'm not against any of those people. I want the middle manager bureaucrats gone from

00:03:28.360 the system. We could fire one, or we could fire nine out of every 10, and no one would notice.

00:03:34.140 You know, and you're so right, Sheila. And you had a really good video recently. It was an update on

00:03:40.260 a lot of the Alberta cases we're fighting. And my feeling is, now that, as you said, the pandemic is

00:03:47.060 officially over, why can't these cases be thrown out of work? So many of these businesses, so many of

00:03:53.120 these pastors, they've already gone through hell. They've been penalized in terms of lost revenue,

00:03:59.800 in some cases, losing their freedom. Can't we just drop those cases and move on? Or is there some kind

00:04:05.820 of a vendetta going on there?

00:04:08.740 Yeah, this is vindictiveness. Because that Alberta is now moving into the endemic stage of all of this.

00:04:15.980 Leads me to believe that we probably won't be locking down again in the fall.

00:04:20.660 And I think that's a political decision, given that Jason Kenney is running out of runway

00:04:25.460 for his next election campaign, and for people to forget what has happened over the last 18 months.

00:04:32.840 So I don't think we're going to be locking down again. But we do need to make an example of these

00:04:37.860 people who stood up to the government. I think it is very vindictive. And that's why this continues.

00:04:42.300 There you go. And Sheila, it's around this time that you usually tell the folks what we're actually

00:04:48.860 trying to do in the next almost hour. In the next almost hour. I don't know. We always go over time.

00:04:57.360 Five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes. But this is the Rebel News daily live stream. It used to just

00:05:03.340 be on Fridays, just hosted by Ezra Levant. The pandemic struck. We were all grounded. So there

00:05:11.420 were places that we couldn't go, things we were unable to report on. And a lot of our viewers were stuck

00:05:17.620 at home because the government forcibly closed their businesses or gave them, you know, a work

00:05:22.840 from home order. So we thought, you know what, the news is changing so fast with regard to the pandemic

00:05:28.800 and and things are popping up. So we thought, let's sit down for an hour every single day and

00:05:33.940 talk about the news of the world and the news of the country with our viewers. And it was a good

00:05:39.660 chance for us to also make a little revenue because we used to be able to accept super chats on YouTube,

00:05:46.500 but then YouTube completely demonetized us on our main YouTube channel. We're not completely

00:05:53.300 demonetized on the clips channel, but on the main YouTube channel, they cut us off. What that did was

00:05:58.280 cut us off from $400,000 in annual revenue. But our viewers are incredible. And there are other

00:06:05.600 players in the game other than YouTube. Yeah. So we are also streaming over on Rumble,

00:06:11.020 which is developing a monetization, a way for people to to give us money while we're chatting

00:06:18.680 and interact with each other. But you can also find us over on Odyssey that an Odyssey has a few

00:06:24.260 different ways to support us. You can leave a hyper chat by purchasing Odyssey's library cryptocurrency,

00:06:30.880 and you can give some of that to us. You can also leave a hyper chat using regular old currency. I

00:06:38.100 think it's in US dollars. Or you could tip us as a creator over on Odyssey and also on Super U,

00:06:43.980 which is a great free speech company. You can also tip us as a creator over there. So there's a lot of

00:06:49.060 ways to interact with each other, to interact with us and continue to support the work that we do

00:06:54.240 completely willingly because we'll never take a penny from Justin Trudeau. And Shel, I got to ask

00:06:59.380 you again, do you understand these hyper chats, these library cryptocurrencies? I mean, when you

00:07:07.660 start talking like that, I devolve back into unfrozen caveman journalists. I don't know. Fast

00:07:13.780 moving cars and tall buildings frighten and confuse me. And so do cryptocurrencies. But I'm sure we have

00:07:20.160 viewers that are much smarter than me that can figure this out. And we really do appreciate the

00:07:25.540 support, don't we, Sheila? You know what? I hold cryptocurrency. I have some. I don't know what

00:07:31.900 to do with it. I'm sort of frightened by it. But I got some because I guess that's what everybody's

00:07:38.920 doing. So I got a little bit of it. And I'm scared of it. I'm scared to touch it. I'm scared to lose it.

00:07:43.860 So it's just there. And eventually, I'll get around to understanding what it is. And I know it's really

00:07:48.180 important that you don't lose it. That's all I know. So I think I have what you have. It's on a

00:07:55.160 stick in a safe at home with 20 words in order that I dare not lose. I got a little more because

00:08:04.960 I got a little more because it was that was kind of easy. So I thought, you know what? I should get

00:08:09.960 a little more. But yeah, it's in the gun safe. And I'm not touching it. It's just in there.

00:08:14.220 Well, let's just hope it appreciates and it's not the next Bre-X.

00:08:21.200 I think it'll be fine.

00:08:23.060 Okay. Well, Sheila, we already covered off the Alberta ending the COVID protocols. But

00:08:32.160 you had, speaking of COVID, you had another...

00:08:35.200 No, no, no. Let's talk a little bit about the end of the COVID protocols. Because

00:08:39.800 I think you guys in Ontario need to realize what it could be like. And I know Jason Kenney

00:08:46.720 was particularly bad when it came to civil liberties. But I suppose not any worse than

00:08:51.360 Ontario. And Ontario remains bad. And we're getting a little better here. So let's just

00:08:56.960 tell the rest of the country what it could be like if you... I don't know, if you lived

00:09:06.400 in Alberta. So we are lifting...

00:09:08.400 And by the way, Sheila, I agree. If I can just interject, you're so right.

00:09:12.000 Sure, please.

00:09:12.420 Because this upcoming August long weekend, Simcoe Day, if they haven't cancelled Lord John

00:09:19.180 Graves Simcoe yet, this is traditionally in Toronto, the August long weekend when you have

00:09:25.240 Carabana. And it's in a magnificent Caribbean street festival. It typically attracts tourists

00:09:34.120 from all over the Northeast United States. It is a fantastic event. And for the second

00:09:41.260 year in a row, cancelled. And I'm betting if Carabana was happening in Alberta, that wouldn't

00:09:49.560 be the case. Am I correct?

00:09:51.780 Yeah, we just had the Calgary Stampede. And I think there was like 71 cases of COVID that

00:09:58.340 were traced back to the Calgary Stampede. I don't know if they even said that they caught

00:10:02.120 it at the Stampede. I mean, how would you know? But of half a million people that were

00:10:08.260 coming through in close quarters over that week, 71 cases had been in and around the

00:10:14.940 area. And I don't think there are any hospitalizations related to that, which is, I mean, that's what

00:10:20.700 it is. I mean, people who are going out and spending all day on their feet at the Stampede,

00:10:25.940 they're not the kind of people who get COVID, end up in the hospital and die with it.

00:10:31.120 So yeah, and 71 cases, not 71 deaths, right, Sheila?

00:10:36.840 Yeah. And we know how they count cases. It's not always positive test results either, right?

00:10:42.180 Indeed.

00:10:42.580 So we've, this is from CTV Calgary from yesterday. It says Alberta's lifting much of its remaining

00:10:49.960 COVID-19 restrictions in the coming weeks. And then of course, because this is the mainstream

00:10:54.640 media, even as case counts climb, but they aren't, they're just, they're not climbing and

00:11:02.620 the virus continues to infect unvaccinated Albertans. Anyway, it says that starting August 16th, people

00:11:12.740 who test positive for COVID-19 will not be mandated to quarantine anymore, but the province will

00:11:18.380 recommend it. So you, if you test positive, basically, so what, who cares? And then additionally,

00:11:26.360 Albertans with COVID-19 symptoms will not be asked to get tested, but stay home until they feel better.

00:11:32.280 So we're not going to get this inflated case counts of people who just have the sniffles.

00:11:36.960 Two weeks later, COVID-19 tests will only be available to people who need to go to the hospital

00:11:43.060 or see a physician. So there's no more of this asymptomatic testing, which means literally testing

00:11:47.920 healthy people. We're not doing that anymore. And starting Thursday, close contacts of COVID-19

00:11:55.900 cases will no longer be mandated to quarantine either, but isolation will still be required

00:12:00.800 for positive cases and people with symptoms. So that'll end two weeks from Thursday. So I guess

00:12:05.940 today. Masks are not mandatory in public transit, rideshares, and taxis starting on August 16th.

00:12:11.760 And the only place masks may still be required is in hospitals or continuing care facilities where

00:12:17.920 people are actually sick. And Jason Kenney said, it's time to start thinking differently about COVID-19

00:12:24.560 because cases no longer equal high levels of hospitalizations or fatalities. So that's it.

00:12:31.860 You know, I'm happy about the progress and the return to the good old days, sort of. But you know,

00:12:39.100 Sheila, I find it a little perverse, all these dates, like the virus is going to abide by these dates.

00:12:46.000 Yeah. Oh, we can't infect you today. Sorry. Sorry.

00:12:51.260 Oh, it's the stroke of midnight, August 16th. I'm melting. I'm melting.

00:12:55.120 I mean, I got to go to Ontario if I want to hurt somebody. Sorry, I'm out of here.

00:13:00.440 I mean, why don't they just say, hey, let's, let's turn Alberta, right? Let's go full Florida

00:13:07.120 is what I'm trying to say. You know, let, you know, instead of all these artificial

00:13:11.080 dates and deadlines, I just find that really weird, Sheila.

00:13:16.020 Yeah. I mean, like the, the virus checks the calendar, but I guess they have to

00:13:21.720 set an arbitrary point for this. And instead of this being good news,

00:13:26.720 if you checked in on social media yesterday, the professional TV doctors were losing their minds.

00:13:33.180 They are really cheering for a catastrophe here in Alberta. And the fact that we basically reopened

00:13:39.540 all the businesses and everything on July 1st, and here we are, what's today, the 28th,

00:13:45.040 four weeks later, no catastrophe. Everybody's fine. Hospitalization rates are way down,

00:13:51.140 way down. So nobody even cares about case counts because case counts are just people who get the

00:13:56.240 sniffles, if indeed they even get the sniffles. So, I mean, it's just funny how these TV doctors

00:14:03.360 are just, I mean, they're, they're cheering for a medical catastrophe to unfold in Alberta. And it

00:14:12.420 just seems so ghoulish, right?

00:14:14.140 Oh yeah. As I've called it, COVID porn. And you know, the way the mainstream media reports on

00:14:19.900 things, Sheila, I had a chuckle today. It was a news story. So it wasn't talk radio where someone

00:14:28.140 is supposed to be editorializing, but in the news story narrative, it was the issue of vaccine

00:14:35.240 passports. And the newscaster went on to, I don't know if this was part of her script,

00:14:41.120 or she decided to do some freelance editorializing saying vaccine passports, which aren't really

00:14:48.240 passports. It's really proof of vaccine. In other words, a vaccine passport. I mean, like suddenly,

00:14:57.540 but you see where they're going with this. They're going to tone down the negativeness of vaccine

00:15:04.120 passport, because to me, that is a negative. And instead, the style guide will say,

00:15:11.240 ex-nay on vaccine passports, but do say proof of vaccination, which is a little less extreme.

00:15:19.100 So that you see what, what court, what camp the mainstream media is in when you, when you hear

00:15:25.260 this kind of thing, Sheila? Well, and I think that is, when you see them changing the language,

00:15:31.000 because they know the public is against vaccine passports, I think it's a tacit admission that

00:15:38.060 even they know that vaccine passports are a bad idea. So they can't call them that. It's proof of

00:15:44.500 vaccination so that you can go places and do things. So you mean like literally a vaccine passport?

00:15:50.260 Like, I forget who did some streeters. I think it was Drea in one of her videos. She did some

00:15:57.280 streeters and she asked people about on the streets about vaccine passports. And they were like, oh,

00:16:03.960 no, it's not a vaccine passport. It's just, you know, like a vaccine record that you have to produce

00:16:09.620 to go places, eat in restaurants, use public facilities. So, you know, like a vaccine passport, 0.98

00:16:17.080 like these word games are ridiculous, but it's exactly the Orwellian place that society has come

00:16:24.160 to right now. Oh, you're, you're so right. I mean, where the Ministry of Truth is actually the propaganda

00:16:29.260 arm of Oceania. And the one place you never want to end up is the Ministry of Love, where they torture

00:16:37.480 people. No greater, no greater example of this Orwellian doublespeak than the reopening Ontario

00:16:47.220 act, which is the act they use to close the place. You know, what chutzpah? We are going to lock you

00:16:55.160 down. We are going to change your locks. We are going to send the mounted unit out and haul you away

00:17:01.640 in front of national TV cameras under the reopening Ontario act. They have no shame here, Sheila.

00:17:10.500 No, I mean, and all this from a so-called conservative prime minister, right? It's

00:17:15.520 or a conservative premier. I mean, it's just ridiculous. Yeah. I said conservative prime

00:17:20.440 minister, like that's a thing that's going to happen in the next 20 years. Unbelievable.

00:17:24.740 Oh, maybe there was, he had a shot at that, but the last almost two years, I think has destroyed

00:17:30.960 that. I think he has totally turned his base against him, Sheila. And not only a supposedly

00:17:38.000 Ontario conservative premier, but the fact that one of his main slogans, in addition to for the

00:17:45.120 people was Ontario open for business. You know what, Sheila, that's our fault. We missed that tiny

00:17:52.820 little asterisk and we looked in the fine print and yeah, open for business during a pandemic. If you're

00:17:58.940 Walmart or Costco or the Loblaw group of companies, those people are open for business, your little

00:18:05.900 mom, pa, toy store, shoe store, spa. Oh no. We, this government will come down on you with the force 0.93

00:18:15.860 of a papal bull. So give me a break. Yeah. Reopening Ontario act.

00:18:26.760 Now, Sheila, how, what, since you are in Alberta and I, I can't wait to get back there. How are people

00:18:34.260 reacting to the reopening? Because again, coming down to rebel news headquarters here in Toronto,

00:18:41.580 I was, I wish you were in the car with me because it was a talk radio segment and it was about a

00:18:48.700 caller sending a text message. And basically the family were going to finally go out to a restaurant

00:18:55.820 now that that's allowed, indoor seating. You don't want to go on a patio today in Toronto. It's

00:19:01.020 raining cats and dogs. And at the last second, the father said, I'm sorry, I'm just not ready for this.

00:19:10.080 I, I just can't do this. And of course, uh, the host interviewed a psychiatrist to get tips on how

00:19:19.760 people, uh, should, you know, man up and go to a restaurant. You'd think they're being drafted for

00:19:26.320 a war overseas, right? But I don't, I mean, the circle I'm in, uh, I don't sense any anxiety. People

00:19:34.720 are like, you know, pedal to the metal, open up, open up. We want to get back to normalcy.

00:19:39.760 Is that what's happening in Alberta? Or are there people that are Sheila, just not ready to go to the

00:19:45.280 bistro? Oh, I'm sure there are some of those people in downtown Edmonton. I'm sure. Uh, I kind of hold

00:19:53.440 Ralph Klein's opinion on downtown Edmonton and that it's a, it's a nice place with too many mosquitoes and

00:19:59.280 socialists. Um, but I think by and large, like I get a different experience, right? Cause I live in

00:20:07.200 rural Alberta and if I ever get sort of close to the city, I'm only going there to, to work on

00:20:12.040 something and then come back out. So I stay sort of in the surrounding areas, like very blue collar

00:20:17.180 community of Fort Saskatchewan. Um, Sherwood park is more affluent bedroom community. So that's as far

00:20:23.600 as I get. And things are pretty normal there. Now you maybe have like 10% true believers who are

00:20:29.400 still masked up in the vegetable section of the grocery store while simultaneously touching

00:20:34.500 everything. Um, but, uh, it's Alberta and we're, you know, I think we just have like a different

00:20:42.740 mentality here. Like we, uh, we're a different kind of people. Uh, we're by and large conservative.

00:20:48.780 We don't like being told what to do. It's why we, uh, had the restaurant uprising. It's why we had

00:20:55.240 the church uprising. We're just the kind of people who don't take kindly to government telling us how

00:21:00.000 to live our lives, who we can talk to and who we can have in our homes. So it's a little bit

00:21:04.580 different, I think, but I think Ontario needs like a cult deprogramming a little bit.

00:21:10.680 Oh, uh, I agree. But you know, Sheila, you saw what they did to Adam Skelly of Adamson's

00:21:15.300 barbecue. They made him an example. Uh, that was such overkill and really it wasn't so much

00:21:23.260 vindictiveness against Adam Skelly, although there was a part of that. It was a message that, uh,

00:21:30.020 Mayor Tory and Cruella de Villa and Doug Ford were sending to any other small business.

00:21:35.600 You dare have the temerity to do what this guy's doing. How do you like going to the cooler? How do

00:21:40.700 you like, you know, having your business destroyed in front of, uh, the gleeful, uh, clapping seals of

00:21:47.480 the mainstream media? Uh, that was really what that was about. So, um, I think that successfully

00:21:55.640 quashed any kind of, you know, Toronto or Ontario rebellion in terms of a critical mass, Sheila.

00:22:03.460 Yeah, I think though, again, it speaks to a different culture because, um, that's how you get more of us

00:22:09.920 in Alberta. You know, like when they start cracking down on one pastor, one business owner,

00:22:16.120 that's how they ended up with more of us. And in Toronto, the opposite happened. Everyone was like,

00:22:21.140 oh, I don't want that to happen to me. So I'll just shut up and I'll just wait this out. Where in

00:22:26.580 Alberta, it was completely different. When Chris Scott opened up his restaurant, everybody else started

00:22:31.800 opening up. When Natalie Klein opened up her hair salon, everybody else started opening up in

00:22:37.220 solidarity. When, uh, pastor James Coates stood up to the government. And even after James Coates went

00:22:43.740 to jail for 35 days, other pastors were opening their congregation. So I think, again, if, and not

00:22:52.780 to, well, you know what, it does sound like I'm going to say something bad about the people of Toronto

00:22:57.020 and don't write me letters. Cause I know there's good people there. And a lot of you watch us,

00:23:00.400 but I think if there were a different response to what happened.

00:23:08.600 Oh, that's a lot sooner.

00:23:11.160 Sheila, could you release that? You, you froze, uh, for a little bit. So we, uh, you were about to

00:23:15.980 say, it was just after you said, uh, people of Toronto don't hate me for saying this. And then

00:23:20.380 we didn't hear what people are going to think the deep state is censoring.

00:23:25.400 Justin probably cut my mic. Um, no, what I said was, uh, you know, like even though a lot of people

00:23:34.000 in Toronto watch us and there's a lot of good people there standing up for freedom, but I think

00:23:37.680 if there had been solidarity around Adam Skelly, as opposed to fear, you guys would have been out of

00:23:44.460 this a lot sooner. A hundred percent. And you know, even with those outrageous over the top

00:23:50.340 police, uh, fear and intimidation tactics that Adam Skelly endured, Sheila, just think of it.

00:23:56.500 If a thousand businesses in Toronto, the city of Toronto opened the next day, are you going to do

00:24:02.160 that a thousand times? You don't, there's not enough resources to do that. You know, there really

00:24:06.800 isn't. And it was a missed opportunity, I think. And now, I mean, just as we're getting open,

00:24:12.720 the speculation is, uh, what's going to happen in fall? Um, typically, uh, you know, there's a lot

00:24:20.620 of chatter about, uh, well, are the schools really, really ready, uh, to reopen? Um, and, and of course,

00:24:29.060 fall is flu season, which I guess gets conflated with, uh, COVID these days. And, you know, and I love

00:24:35.460 what Ezra, our boss, had to say the other day when Doug Ford makes a statement that, let me tell

00:24:41.900 you, by golly, folks, in September, the kids are going back to school, even if I have to drive the

00:24:47.760 school bus, right? Sure. And I think of Doug Ford driving this giant mega school bus all over the

00:24:57.060 province, picking up kids. And Ezra's point was that when he hears, you know, rhetoric like that,

00:25:04.080 Sheila, the kind of rhetoric that personally makes the dial on my BS detector go deep into the red

00:25:12.060 zone, I'm kind of betting on a lockdown. Right now, I think it's 50-50, but what are your thoughts

00:25:18.820 on that? And what's the, uh, what do you hear, uh, on the streets of Alberta? Well, I, yeah, it's that

00:25:27.040 fake populism, right? That fake populism that everybody bought into with Doug Ford the first time

00:25:32.700 around and he thinks that we're going to believe him. Like, what do we get? We're going to believe

00:25:38.680 you now and not your actions over the last 18 months? Sure. Seems legit. Um, I don't know. I'm,

00:25:45.840 I'm very worried about Ontario in that I do think you guys have, I think it's more like a 75% potential

00:25:55.380 to lock back down. And I bet you, I just bet you, your kids are going to be wearing masks to go to

00:26:01.900 school in the fall, if they go to school at all. And you know, Sheila, I got to tell you, if I was at

00:26:07.140 that presser where he said that, cause they don't take our questions, um, they're too prickly. I think

00:26:12.620 my first question is, um, Premier Ford, do you have a license that would allow you to drive a school bus?

00:26:19.600 I don't know what it is in Ontario. I don't know what it is in Ontario, but do you have a class

00:26:25.040 four? That's what it is in Alberta. Because then you're really breaking the law, aren't you? You know,

00:26:30.720 the ministry of transportation might look dimly upon that. Or is this advice from your imaginary

00:26:36.160 friend, Arthur again? Yeah. Driving around in the cheesecake school bus, picking up everybody's

00:26:45.360 kids with his regular driver's license. I mean, it's just so ridiculous. Nobody believes him

00:26:51.180 anymore. I know. It's just too many, Sheila. Too many. And we used to adore this man. He was a guest

00:26:57.980 speaker at one of our Rebel Live events, I think 2017, wasn't he? And, uh, you know, and that's a

00:27:05.060 great juxtaposition of what Doug Ford was and what he became. If you go back to that video, Sheila,

00:27:12.200 and the things he was saying that was getting a standing O at the Rebel Live and the things he

00:27:17.680 has done now in a position of power, they're absolute night and day. Yeah. He, I remember he

00:27:23.580 gave out his personal cell phone number. Oh, not anymore. That's disconnected. Yeah. I believe that.

00:27:30.540 But you're right. I believe that one. You know, uh, uh, uh, someone of that stature, uh, giving out his

00:27:38.880 personal cell phone, uh, number folks. And, and at a time it did work. Uh, and I'm sure he got inundated

00:27:45.940 with messages, but those days are not long gone. You dialed that number today. Sorry, the number you

00:27:52.240 have just dialed is out of service, kind of like the province itself out of service. Yeah. Yeah. It too,

00:27:59.980 it too is experiencing treatment from the open for business law. Um, I'll never forget there was a

00:28:07.960 video or it was a phone call and it was a CBC interview on CBC radio, which is absolutely terrible

00:28:15.580 that, um, it's, it's just the worst. But anyways, the hosts had called Rob Ford while he was coaching.

00:28:27.880 Oh, I remember that at the time. Yeah. And the hosts were like offended that he wasn't devoting all

00:28:35.840 of his time to them. And finally he's like, I'm coaching football, like quick calling me kind of

00:28:41.840 thing. But naturally he's one of those guys that gave out his phone number. So CBC just called him.

00:28:46.880 You know, Sheila Rob Ford, who I adore, and by the way, Rob Ford is not Doug Ford. We have

00:28:52.680 surely discovered that in the last two years, but I remember that well. And he was a mocked for taking

00:29:01.440 a call. And like you said, not, uh, giving his, uh, you know, total attention to the Khaleesi's at the

00:29:09.320 CBC and B also mocked for, well, he's mayor and he's like, um, you know, coaching this toxic

00:29:17.380 masculinity tackle football. I can tell you, I mean, at the time I did a story, uh, back in my

00:29:22.820 freelancing days for the national post, uh, in which I, um, you know, I sort of embedded myself

00:29:29.060 with the team for a bit and you had kids from all kinds of diverse backgrounds, uh, Don Bosco kind

00:29:37.860 of in a rough neighborhood of town. And, uh, I will never forget, um, a couple of the single mothers 1.00

00:29:46.640 that came up to me and spoke about what the football program may, uh, meant to them. And it

00:29:52.600 was this Sheila, if not for this football program, my son would either be in jail or dead. That's what

00:30:00.860 they said to me, because without something to do, they'd have all this free time on their hands.

00:30:06.000 They'd hang around at the mall, kind of maybe get, you know, drift into gang culture perhaps,

00:30:12.040 but they joined the football team. They endure practice every day. You know, when they come home,

00:30:17.440 their head hits the pillow, they're exhausted. They're out. So it was keeping these kids in

00:30:23.120 school, building them up mentally, the football program, building them up physically. And these

00:30:28.320 bastards in the city of Toronto, the social elitists, uh, had the temerity to mock what, um,

00:30:37.140 Rob Ford was doing with that football program. They have no solutions, Sheila. They talk a mean game,

00:30:43.420 but that, you know, I think out West, what, what is the saying? Um, all hat, no cattle. And that's

00:30:49.600 what that man had to go through. And it's absolutely shameful. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think, uh, Rob Ford's

00:30:57.240 approach to those kids was, you know, the old saying that idle hands are the devil's workshop,

00:31:01.660 right? Keep the kids busy, give them something that they can achieve. Um, and, you know, keep them

00:31:08.940 off the streets and, you know, think about what it was like for those kids to have somebody as

00:31:14.520 important as Rob Ford, take time out of his day to work with them, to cheer them on, to coach them,

00:31:23.120 to mentor them. You know, that's something, you know, when you're, you're a disadvantaged kid,

00:31:29.120 and I think I can speak to this a little bit because I kind of was one, um, to have somebody

00:31:33.640 important, take an interest in you. That's something you never forget that sticks with you forever.

00:31:37.780 It gives you value as you go forward. Oh, and Sheila, let me tell you this. This was not a PR stunt

00:31:44.360 on behalf of Rob Ford to get publicity. He was totally invested in those kids. He, every kid had

00:31:51.800 his number 24 seven. And he even told me he had calls at three or four in the morning of a kid in

00:31:58.340 trouble. He got into his car to get them out of trouble. He also donated, um, I believe it was in

00:32:04.800 the neighborhood of 30 or 35,000 to buy the equipment, uh, for the football program. And,

00:32:12.640 uh, and this was, like I said, it was not a publicity stunt. He wasn't looking for glowing

00:32:18.160 articles in Toronto life. Oh, the mayor who also coaches, uh, and when you saw him on the sidelines,

00:32:24.800 it was a passion of his, it was an absolute passion. And, you know, I, I wonder, you know,

00:32:31.220 I, I, I'm going to, you've given me an idea. I'm going to look into whether or not the program

00:32:35.560 even exists anymore at Don Bosco. Um, if it doesn't, that's a shame.

00:32:42.120 Well, and if it doesn't, you know exactly why. Yeah. Um, because nobody like Rob stepped up. Um,

00:32:48.320 we should, this is actually a pretty good segue into your video about the women's rugby team.

00:32:53.880 Oh, um, yeah. Okay then. And, uh, Mr. Producer, all right. Uh, yeah. Um, if there's anything that

00:33:03.460 these Olympics are about folks, it has to be wokeness. I think they should make it a gold medal

00:33:10.240 game. Um, who is going to be the most woke at the Japan 2020 Olympics? And wow, some of the front

00:33:17.420 runners are the members of the Canadian women's sevens rugby team. Check it out. There were many

00:33:23.020 glowing, gushing, and fawning articles published the other day about the Canadian women's rugby

00:33:28.420 sevens team, which is now over in Tokyo competing at a spectator free Olympic games that apparently

00:33:35.040 nobody seems to care about. But then again, why shouldn't there be full page newspaper articles

00:33:41.460 about these Canuck ladies winning the gold medal? Oops. At time of writing, the squad

00:33:47.340 hadn't even played a single rugby game yet. Their chests weren't adorned with glittery metals,

00:33:53.100 but rather with black and white t-shirts proclaiming BIPOC lives matter. Now at first blush,

00:33:59.940 I misread BIPOC for biopic. And I thought, gee, how curious that these gals are going to bat for the 1.00

00:34:06.220 lives of documentary filmmakers. Alas, BIPOC actually stands for black indigenous people of color.

00:34:13.620 Alrighty then. But missing from all the articles was an explanation vis-a-vis what the rules are when

00:34:21.980 it comes to whose lives matter and whose lives do not. I must say, I'm completely confused.

00:34:30.260 You see, black lives matter is the granddaddy phrase. I agree with the sentiment that black lives 0.96

00:34:35.440 indeed matter. Although I loathe the organization Black Lives Matter as it is so jam-packed with 1.00

00:34:41.980 Marxists and racists. Case in point, Usra Kogari, aka Usra Ali. She's one of the organizers of Black 1.00

00:34:50.600 Lives Matter Toronto. And apparently, Usra tweeted this mirthful message a while back, quote,

00:34:56.520 Please, Allah, give me the strength not to cuss-kill these men and white folks out here today. 1.00

00:35:02.920 Please, please, please, end quote. Oh, by the way, Toronto Mayor John Woketori would later give her

00:35:09.420 some sort of civic award for something. Worst mayor ever. But here's the thing. I am of the firm

00:35:16.060 belief that all lives matter. Every single one. Dr. Martin Luther King thought so too back in the day.

00:35:22.860 Again, what reasonable person would not be on board with such a sentiment? Yet, stating that

00:35:29.560 all lives matter is supposedly an egregious act of cultural appropriation, or at least an act of

00:35:36.160 t-shirt slogan appropriation, just ask the folks at Pollock's Home Hardware. Last July, this shop in

00:35:43.400 West End Toronto put up a sign that declared, quote, all lives matter, be safe, be kind, end quote.

00:35:49.660 Oh, Hogtown's woke mob reacted with absolute fury. You'd think the Pollocks were displaying a

00:35:57.220 swastika or something. Indeed, check out some of the comments that were published in a blog

00:36:04.080 TO post. Gasped one triggered social justice warrior, quote, I actually can't believe I saw this.

00:36:12.100 How has this not been addressed, end quote. Fumed another spirit unicorn, quote, this sign is

00:36:20.440 extremely inappropriate toward black community members that are fighting against their people 1.00

00:36:26.460 being killed and brutalized, or do you only care about your white customers, end quote.

00:36:33.420 Naturally, the sign very quickly came down before a mostly peaceful Antifa community outreach group

00:36:41.480 dropped by to introduce the hardware store to an assortment of Molotov summer cocktails.

00:36:47.740 But that was then, and this is now, because apparently in 2021, you can MacGyver the Black Lives Matter

00:36:54.900 slogan. The rugby gals are getting applauded for their tinkering, not condemned. But are they truly

00:37:02.640 being as inclusive as they could be? Does BIPOC include gay lives and trans lives? Does it include

00:37:09.920 Latino lives? But hey, I get it. There's only so much real estate on a t-shirt. So maybe the rugby 1.00

00:37:18.300 gals should wear shirts stating all lives matter, except one category. That should do it. Or how about 1.00

00:37:26.940 this? Enough with the virtue signaling. How about just, you know, get out on the pitch and play rugby

00:37:32.980 and try to win a gold medal for our great dominion? And hey, should they finish second or third,

00:37:38.760 perhaps they can climb up upon the podium, adorned in t-shirts that state, silver and bronze medals

00:37:45.360 matter. Even though, let's face it, folks, nobody really gives a rodent's rectum. For Rebel News,

00:37:51.800 I'm David the Menzoid Menzies. 0.96

00:37:57.580 That's right, Sheila.

00:38:00.820 Sorry, you, I didn't, Justin didn't have you in my ear when you came back, but

00:38:05.480 well, I'm just gonna, I was just gonna ask you to weigh in on it because, and you have some skin in

00:38:10.780 the game, given that I believe your lovely daughter does play rugby. And, and let me put this to you,

00:38:19.060 Sheila, you know, in the course of researching this whole BIPOC thing, it's amazing how the left

00:38:25.720 continues to eat itself. I understand the phrase people of color is entering politically incorrect

00:38:33.800 territory. I can't even think of what the politically correct 2021 version descriptor is for people of

00:38:43.980 color. Much like, remember, for the last few years, we're all about triggering and trigger warnings.

00:38:50.900 Evidently, trigger is under the ban, Sheila, because a trigger is a piece of a gun and guns are evil,

00:39:00.440 don't you know? So before our eyes, within months even, politically correct terminology

00:39:07.780 is becoming politically incorrect. Where does this madness end, Sheila?

00:39:13.700 I hope it never ends, because now they're turning on each other. And I'm just over here saying, I just

00:39:18.440 get to say whatever I want. And you guys, you guys can sort out all this, like, word language garbage.

00:39:23.700 But yeah, my, my, my daughter does play rugby. And, you know, I look at this, and I think, what would have

00:39:29.780 happened to the one person on the team who said, no, I'm not wearing this shirt. This is stupid. And

00:39:35.220 this isn't why we're here. You know, very well, what would happen. And I think that's where I'm

00:39:41.520 going with this is, yeah, this isn't actually, um, about being united or ecumenical or anything.

00:39:48.160 This actually serves to alienate and bully the people on your team who maybe have different

00:39:53.780 political views. It's actually a divisive poison on the team. Because I look at my daughter's rugby

00:39:59.480 team, girls from all different backgrounds, because rugby's accessible, there's no equipment,

00:40:04.420 you pay for, you know, your pitch fees, and some insurance to make sure that you don't sue the club

00:40:10.560 when your nose gets broken. It's pretty accessible. All you need is cleats, right? And so there, because

00:40:17.200 of that, there are, you know, kids from all different backgrounds, kids from, you know, different

00:40:21.880 ethnic backgrounds. Um, because that's another thing about rugby, you have, it's a sport that is

00:40:27.980 played, um, in other parts of the world, for example, like in New Zealand, the, uh, indigenous members

00:40:37.540 sort of dominate the team. They're the better players, right? Like, so it's in that part of the

00:40:42.260 world, it's actually an indigenous sport. Um, and so you have people from all different backgrounds.

00:40:46.880 And I don't, I think this serves to divide the team. This doesn't unite the team. This bully

00:40:51.860 certain people. And it, I mean, I don't, I don't even know how any of this is necessary, but when

00:40:58.700 you were doing this video and after it was sort of produced, and then I saw it, and then another

00:41:03.320 story broke, and I was like, oh, I wish we could have added this to the story, but then I didn't know

00:41:07.340 how we could shoehorn it in, and the video was already done anyway. Justin, I sent you that link

00:41:12.000 from CTV Edmonton. Everybody has the opportunity to be educated. Country club pulls pitcher after

00:41:22.640 public backlash. The Glendale golf and country club has apologized for reposting a picture of

00:41:28.200 a foursome who wore shirts at a golf tournament that read drunk wives matter. And so the golf club, 0.98

00:41:34.740 like the country club is in trouble because these ladies were wearing the shirts that are widely 1.00

00:41:40.720 available. By the way, if you just put in drunk wives matter into Google search, you'll get like 1.00

00:41:46.040 so many companies selling them, but they found an educator, whatever that means. I don't think that

00:41:50.900 means somebody with a degree in education. That means somebody who takes money from a government

00:41:55.140 to brainwash your staff into thinking that they are racist when they say anything. But Farah Sharif,

00:42:03.840 an educator told CTV news, why they thought this was a good idea is beyond me. Mocking an entire

00:42:09.720 black activist movement post, George Floyd is inherently racist, period. So this person that

00:42:17.240 doesn't know these ladies who are just, you know, ladies in matching outfits on the golf course, 0.99

00:42:22.300 having a couple drinks as people tend to do, um, at the golf course, she's this person,

00:42:29.260 this educator, not knowing anything about these ladies called them all racist. Yeah. They don't know 1.00

00:42:35.240 if these ladies have adopted black children. They don't know if they're married to indigenous men. 1.00

00:42:40.340 They don't know anything about anything, but they feel that it is absolutely their right to come to

00:42:46.520 the conclusion that those ladies are racist. And I think that's the problem in all of this too, 1.00

00:42:50.660 is if you don't self-flagellate, you're also racist. And the activists now want these ladies 1.00

00:42:56.760 banned from the golf club. Oh, they don't want them there at all. A hundred percent. And I mean,

00:43:01.740 come on, it's gentle parody of a phrase. Uh, it doesn't mean that they're racist.

00:43:07.380 They're making fun of themselves.

00:43:09.040 Exactly.

00:43:09.560 They're making fun of themselves.

00:43:11.060 It's self-deprecating. Well, I'm surprised, you know, um, you know,

00:43:14.960 mad hasn't weighed in on this, you know, as, uh, is this some subtle message about, uh,

00:43:19.860 drinking and driving being okay. But Sheila, what the example I gave of Pollock's hardware store,

00:43:25.280 where it said, quote, all lives matter, be safe, be kind. How is that offensive to any reasonable

00:43:34.500 person? Of course, all lives matter and be safe, be kind. That's troublesome too. That's an expression

00:43:42.060 of, I don't know, white privilege, white supremacy. This is madness, Sheila.

00:43:46.600 Well, and with regard to this like golf club thing here, now this educator, I don't know how you just

00:43:54.660 educator, you just, uh, you're a basically a bully. That's what you do. Or you, you call companies

00:44:00.100 racist, um, apropos of nothing. And then you take money from the company to un-racist them through

00:44:08.200 classes. It's a neat little scam these people have going, but anyways, uh, the golf club apologized,

00:44:15.920 but then the educator said the apology was weak and lacks a specific edge because it's not enough,

00:44:25.040 right? It's not enough. And says it lacks a specific educational plan for them to move forward

00:44:31.400 with. So there's the monetization of the outrage for the educator, right? Your apology isn't good

00:44:37.240 enough. And now you, but you need me now to come educate you and pay me for it. And then because the

00:44:44.560 golf club didn't capitulate fast enough, this person now, this educator, tolerance educator is

00:44:50.960 whipping up an online mob says, I encourage people that follow me to contact the Glendale and ask,

00:44:58.080 how are they learning? What are they doing? I bet if they hired this educator, that would be great.

00:45:04.760 They've learned all they need to know, right? Line this person's pocket. It's pretty neat thing that

00:45:09.700 these people do whip up an outrage mob by calling a golf club or any business racist and then offer

00:45:16.780 the solution. And the solution is pay me to brainwash your staff. And then they say, everybody has the

00:45:22.760 opportunity to be educated. Yeah, I bet they do. You know what this reminds me of Sheila, um, about 15 1.00

00:45:28.920 years ago, if I got the chronology right at the, um, the ex president of Mexico, uh, Vincente Fox,

00:45:35.120 he had said something that was, uh, deemed anti-black and part of his Searcy walk of shame,

00:45:41.820 which I found hilarious was him personally getting on the phone and phoning, uh, prominent black 0.97

00:45:49.380 celebrities like Oprah Winfrey to personally apologize for his words, which he did evidently. Right. Uh, so I

00:46:00.420 think that might've been a little Genesis of the madness that is now full blown, uh, uh, right in

00:46:07.200 the here and now, but I mean, these Olympics are making me ill. I mean, can't people just line up

00:46:15.060 and run or swim or jump over hurdles or play rugby for goodness sake and spare us this sanctimonious BS?

00:46:23.240 Yeah. Just go there and do what we sent you to do. You know, with our money, with our money,

00:46:31.060 this is not your political platform. You're there representing the company or the country. If you

00:46:37.060 want to go there, then just go there, do what we have sent you to do. And don't turn this incredible

00:46:46.140 opportunity into a personal bully pulpit. Just go do your thing and come home and then take the profile

00:46:56.180 that you earned by actually doing something, something at the Olympics and do whatever you

00:47:00.960 want. I don't care. This is a free country, but while you're there representing all of us,

00:47:07.120 all of us with our diverse political opinions, just zip it till you get home. It's like 10 days.

00:47:13.180 Just be quiet while you're there. A hundred percent, Sheila. And you know, really,

00:47:17.520 do you know anyone in your circle that's actually watching any of the Olympics? Because I have zero

00:47:23.440 interest and I don't know anyone in my circle, including all my colleagues here at Rebel News

00:47:30.120 that have actually tuned into one minute of these games. Mr. Producer says I watch every night. So

00:47:36.840 that tells you a lot about Mr. Producer folks.

00:47:39.800 First of all, I think everybody knows that I don't care so much for professional sports. However,

00:47:46.220 I like sports entertainment as far as wrestling goes. I sort of have an eye to the Canadian sports

00:47:54.520 shooters because they have been pretty vocal about the gun ban and how it will affect their sport. So

00:48:00.440 they're over there representing the country and they're like, the government literally wants to

00:48:06.420 ban our sport, but we're over here doing our best to represent the country anyway. So I sort of have

00:48:12.000 an eye to what they're doing and Canada produces some pretty great sports shooters. But that's about

00:48:17.040 it. I just, I just, I don't care. There's no crowds. And then with all the wokeism and then I'm like,

00:48:23.840 oh, so just also, there's also the whole thing that just mediocre men can now join the ladies sports

00:48:30.160 and, and beat them and rob them of their life's work. And so I, like, I just, I can't care anymore.

00:48:36.040 The Olympics has killed the Olympics for me.

00:48:38.840 Yeah. You're absolutely right, Sheila. And we have that male weightlifter in the Tokyo games.

00:48:46.120 Laurel Hubbard.

00:48:47.340 Yeah. And this ain't little mother Hubbard. Believe me, folks. And going back to rugby,

00:48:53.860 this is why I found that wokeness so surprising because, because correct me if I'm wrong, Sheila,

00:48:59.600 I believe the World Rugby Union, the governing body has done a fantastic thing, which is to take

00:49:07.920 a stance against radical transgenderism. They're saying, uh, uh, if you're a male pretending to be

00:49:14.360 a female, you are not in this sport because you are literally injuring, you know, seriously, 1.00

00:49:21.540 biological female players. And they're absolutely right. So, um, that's what strikes me that, 0.88

00:49:28.320 um, these women that are playing this sport, um, are part of a federation that is not politically

00:49:37.140 correct. I can't think of any other, um, sports federation that has come out with the stance

00:49:42.580 that the World Rugby Union has said, Sheila.

00:49:44.760 Yeah. It's just strange, but then, you know, that's just, I mean, these, while they're like

00:49:53.560 big rugby union is, is taking a stance, you know, your things happen here in Canada. And it just

00:49:59.740 seems that, um, you know, there are a lot of good Canadian athletes that are at the Olympics that we

00:50:05.220 aren't watching because these sorts of things disaffect the rest of us. And, you know, that's kind of

00:50:10.600 sad too. It's, you know, there's all these other athletes that I know we probably should be cheering

00:50:15.180 for there. They worked really hard to get to where they are. And then they do something like this. And

00:50:20.600 I'm like, I just, I can't care about any of it. Sorry. I just can't. And I don't think that's fair

00:50:24.760 to the other athletes, but here we are. It's what happens.

00:50:28.120 Indeed we are. And by the way, Sheila, do we have some chats that have come in?

00:50:32.540 Yes, we do. And we, you know what, we have to get to the other thing that's in the title of

00:50:36.840 the, uh, YouTube video because we get emails about that.

00:50:43.440 Okay. Oops.

00:50:45.280 And we'll talk about that. Yeah. Okay. Oh, am I back?

00:50:48.580 You are. Okay. Perfect. Um, we've got, uh, hyper chat of five libraries from

00:50:54.480 spiker 15 CDC now admits that the COVID test cannot tell the difference between COVID and the yearly flu.

00:51:01.840 Yeah. That's why the yearly flu disappeared. Right. Um, we've got another super you from devil's

00:51:08.560 advocate. Yes. The virus is in constant negotiations with the politicians. Yeah. Isn't that the truth?

00:51:15.900 And the public sector unions. You stole the words out of my mouth.

00:51:21.320 I'm surprised the virus isn't running, um, attack ads, Sheila.

00:51:24.840 Oh, I know the teachers union, the nurses union, all of them. Uh, but we've got a rumble from chronic bud 99, 0.78

00:51:34.540 almost two years to flatten the curve. Yeah. We're almost two years into two weeks to flatten the curve.

00:51:38.420 And we are all in this together. Oh God. Words. I never want to hear again.

00:51:42.900 Me neither.

00:51:44.740 Got a hyper chat from history club world. To me,

00:51:46.940 it seems the doctors want to keep COVID-19 as a major issue. So they get the respect and extra pay.

00:51:51.600 I don't think it's just doctors who feel that way. Uh, the media wants to keep COVID for the money.

00:51:57.060 You know what? I'll, I'll also add something to that. I don't even think they care about the money.

00:52:02.160 I think they're generally quite lazy and they don't like attending things in person. So if they can

00:52:06.400 attend, uh, you know, a press conference via live stream without getting out of their jammy jams,

00:52:12.940 uh, to do some actual work, they're happy with that. They like how that is for them.

00:52:17.720 But, but she, I think that's an excellent comment, uh, from history club world that the money angle,

00:52:24.180 um, I'm still an old dinosaur that buys newspapers. And I can tell you during this pandemic,

00:52:30.840 full page ads, double page spreads about, you know, COVID safety protocols, where the vaccinations are.

00:52:38.440 This has been a little bit of an advertising, uh, bonanza, uh, or a blip, but however you want

00:52:46.400 to call it, they'll take money from wherever they can get it these days. And by the way,

00:52:51.280 we're paying for it. These are government ads. So yeah, the mainstream media, um, this is kind of

00:52:58.200 good. Same with radio and TV ads. I see about COVID all the time, um, spreading the, um, you know,

00:53:04.300 the, the fear factor out there, stay home, stay home, bake a cherry cheesecake. So, um, really,

00:53:10.140 if you're part of a sunset media organization, do you want this kind of ad revenue gravy train to dry

00:53:19.780 up? I don't think you do. Yeah. Stay home to stay safe on a billboard everywhere. Um,

00:53:26.940 um, and they also do it as a way to separate them from us commoners. That's true too. Plus 0.99

00:53:32.720 in Alberta, all right, everybody already has a vaccine record. I can tell you the exact day I

00:53:37.200 got my grade six vaccination. Yeah, that's true. We do. Um, I know I had to, my daughter was going

00:53:43.220 to cadet camp a couple of years ago and we had to produce vaccine records before she could go. And

00:53:48.280 it wasn't, it was just because there were kids coming from overseas from places where they have

00:53:53.820 no vaccinations for certain dangerous diseases. And they wanted to make sure that

00:53:58.600 she would not be exposed. Um, but those are actual like dangerous diseases, not like COVID

00:54:04.160 that is mistaken so frequently for the flu and vice versa. Uh, people versus predators. Oh,

00:54:10.300 it's Mike from freedom, honey. Uh, hi, Mike, uh, your federal petition, his federal petition starts

00:54:15.440 this weekend. We will be at the Alberta legislature Saturday and Sunday. Thanks rebels. Well, Mike,

00:54:19.460 I'll have to come see you. Mike has a federal petition. I don't know who's sponsoring

00:54:23.760 it yet. And I, uh, I guess I'll find that out over the weekend, um, about changes to, um, bail

00:54:30.400 and release for people who hurt kids. So great work guys. I'll see you then. Uh, and you left

00:54:36.600 us a tip. Who would be against that? Who would click civil liberties down? Oh yeah. Those

00:54:45.940 liberties groups. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and Mike also tipped us five bucks. Well, that's very

00:54:52.480 generous. Mike, we've got a hyper chat from history club world down in medicine had, it seems like

00:54:56.560 maybe 1% of the people are actually still wearing masks outside of places that require it. The thing

00:55:01.760 I was talking about in my previous hyper chat is the online medical records that are accessible to

00:55:06.280 everyone through a digital ID. Yeah, that's true. I've got a rumble, um, from DJ four, six, three,

00:55:14.700 four. Remember when athletes competed for their nation, defund the athletes, you know,

00:55:19.000 what a concept, just, just go there and be quiet and then win something and then come home and use

00:55:26.620 your new found profile to talk about whatever you want. I don't care. Talk about whatever you want.

00:55:31.500 Just, just, just go there and compete though. Please just shut up about everything else for 10

00:55:36.540 days. Um, just do it. Yes. Remember that slogan? Yeah. Nike, worst company in the world. Um,

00:55:45.940 talk about woke, uh, history club world. It seems that the Olympics this year are highly political

00:55:52.900 people from by and large Muslim companies are refusing to pete against the Israelis and probably

00:55:59.420 other Jews. Actually, there's, um, an Iranian athlete who spoke up, uh, in favor of Israel and

00:56:08.920 God only knows what's going to happen to him when he goes home. I hope he defect, I hope he defects

00:56:13.420 while he's in Tokyo, but we've seen this before where, um, some of the more radical countries refuse to

00:56:20.800 compete against the Israeli athletes when it comes to contact sports like judo or whatever. Um, but this

00:56:28.060 Iranian athlete, he, you know, thanked Israel was very supportive of Israel and I hope to God he

00:56:35.580 defects while he's there because he's going to go home and be killed and tortured. You might be right

00:56:39.720 about that Sheila with that regime there. And yeah, I, I think I know what the viewer is speaking of. I

00:56:44.420 think it was, uh, judo, uh, where it was an Arab, uh, contestant in the coach. I remember reading the

00:56:51.520 article saying, uh, yeah, we were looking for a good draw. We got a bad draw that meaning, um,

00:56:56.540 we have to, uh, fight an Israeli. So instead of sucking it up and getting out there and, uh, 1.00

00:57:02.580 doing the judo thing, uh, they defaulted. Bye. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, well, I guess though,

00:57:08.760 what, what would have been more embarrassing though, if he lost to the Israeli? Indeed. And that is 0.80

00:57:15.380 exactly Sheila, what was going through my mind, uh, reading that article. Is this really all about

00:57:22.540 him being, you know, terrorized the idea of losing to a Jew from Israel? And, uh, how do I live that 0.93

00:57:32.060 down? So he took the coward's route. He defaulted. Yeah. I really believe that. Oh, I do too. That

00:57:38.800 would have been just so sweet to see, uh, a bigot lose to an Israeli. Anyway, um, a history club world

00:57:46.800 goes on. Then there is BLM and all the other race groups and political groups just makes me somewhat

00:57:51.740 worry for the Paralympics. You know what? The thing about the Paralympics though, is they, there's not

00:57:56.600 a lot of this stuff involved in it. And, uh, I actually enjoy the Paralympics, um, because there's

00:58:03.800 none of that. And I think, um, the Paralympics is such a, a testament to the value of human life and

00:58:08.940 what people can do. And, uh, and I, I like it probably better than the normal Olympics. And I think

00:58:15.040 we're all cut up on the chats with two minutes left of the show. And we didn't talk about the

00:58:19.820 Justin Trudeau plastics thing, but we probably, maybe I'll just briefly touch on it really fast,

00:58:24.760 Justin, if that's okay. Um, so we came across this, it was in an, what we call a proactive release

00:58:32.280 package. And that means that somebody else asked for these documents, got them, didn't see anything

00:58:37.760 noteworthy in them or found what they wanted and did what they wanted with them. And anytime that,

00:58:44.280 uh, another party asks for documents, there comes a time in which they are proactively released to

00:58:50.440 the public. So you have exclusive possession of them until such time as they're just basically

00:58:54.700 dumped on a website and you can go pick through them and find them, which is also something we do

00:58:59.180 because I think a lot of the mainstream media outlets, they ask for certain things. They don't

00:59:04.040 find what they're looking for or something bad about the liberals is in there. So they don't report

00:59:08.720 it. They just leave it. So we go back and poke through these things and it's a lot of work,

00:59:12.860 but we do it anyway because frequently we find things. And in this case we did,

00:59:17.420 we found a messaging plan where the liberals were, um, basically encouraging people to use

00:59:25.260 less effective masks because the ones that are more effective in stopping the spread of COVID,

00:59:32.020 if you care about those sorts of things, and I'm not sure that I do, but the liberals sure do.

00:59:37.400 And the progressives sure do because they're the locker downers. The liberals were in the name of

00:59:44.460 fighting plastic pollution, telling people to use reusable masks that as we know are ineffective,

00:59:52.760 like put your shirt over your face and breathe through it. You know, like that's,

00:59:56.120 how do you think that stops a germ, right? But they didn't want people using medical PPE,

01:00:03.280 not because it would cause a shortage of medical PPE, but because they didn't want the plastic

01:00:08.540 waste. And for the liberals fighting plastic pollution, which is completely inert and the

01:00:13.680 perfect garbage because you can burn it to create energy afterwards. They didn't want people using

01:00:17.820 plastic so that, so they were in their own minds willing to put people's health at risk.

01:00:24.100 Again, if you care about COVID and the spread and wearing masks, I don't, but the liberals do. And

01:00:29.500 that's the point.

01:00:30.540 So Sheila, whatever happened to the old chestnut that public safety is paramount, that if they

01:00:36.840 really believe that these masks are ensuring the health and safety of the population, uh, I'm sorry,

01:00:44.560 uh, health and safety, public safety, that should come before any pollution issue, I would assume,

01:00:51.500 but apparently never, um, a liberal will never miss an opportunity to virtue signal.

01:00:59.940 Well, yeah. And look how liberals are treating plastic. Again, I'm a fan of plastic. I love

01:01:04.300 plastic plastic. We, we should have stopped the ban on plastic when we realized it's perfectly

01:01:10.800 necessary, uh, for a sanitary society, especially during a, during a pandemic restaurant owners,

01:01:17.760 plastic made it possible for them to survive with takeout and delivery, uh, in hospitals,

01:01:23.720 intubation, PPE, plastic, plastic, plastic, even grocery stores. They realized during the pandemic,

01:01:29.620 it's kind of gross for us to be touching your gross reusable bags that are full of E. coli from

01:01:34.560 leaky meat. Please use this plastic bag. So municipalities were even reversing their plastic

01:01:39.460 bans during the pandemic because they realized that plastic is sanitary. And like I said, it's the

01:01:45.080 perfect garbage. Recycling such a scam. It's a stored fossil fuel. You just take it, you incinerate

01:01:51.400 it, you power your house with it. It's beautiful. It's great. You use it once you get to burn it.

01:01:54.960 You got electricity, but the liberals have listed plastic as a schedule one toxin.

01:02:02.680 Like it's lead as best dose and mercury. So in their minds, yeah, it makes perfect sense.

01:02:11.300 It's we'd rather people use a completely ineffective medical fabric mask instead of using something we

01:02:20.760 think is akin to lead. I mean, it makes perfect sense when you examine the liberal mindset. It's,

01:02:26.460 it's nonsensical in reality, but perfect in the mind of Justin Trudeau.

01:02:30.840 And Sheila also, uh, let's not kid the kidders as they say down at the midway. Um, these people

01:02:37.380 pushing for plastic bans, uh, they themselves use these disposable plastics every day. And if you

01:02:45.100 think I'm, you know, making a thesis, I can't prove folks. Uh, I did prove it, uh, on a video

01:02:51.500 when, uh, in Richmond Hill, where I live, there was a counselor who is obsessed about the city of

01:02:58.300 Richmond Hill having its own single use plastic band. I guess, where will we get our plastics? Oh,

01:03:04.000 from the bordering areas of Toronto, Markham, Vaughn, Aurora. Right. But the fact is when that was

01:03:11.620 debated, when they broke for lunch, I went into the council offices and his name is David West. His

01:03:18.640 nickname is David waste. Um, which tells you about his, uh, a lot about his political capital. And guess

01:03:24.860 what, guess what David waste was eating folks food in single use plastic containers, which I pointed

01:03:34.500 out and he immediately slammed the door in my face, or as I like to say, just another day at the office.

01:03:40.940 So please, um, if you're going to preach this kind of crap guys, at least, you know, bring your own

01:03:48.680 ceramic mugs and bowls and, uh, everything else, uh, lead by example. I know what a concept.

01:03:55.880 Well, and I, I don't even think any of this is really about plastic, right? Like, I don't think

01:04:00.580 so. I think plastic is the victim here, but really this goes back to the war on oil and gas. This is

01:04:06.560 just because plastic is made by oil and gas and oil and gas is bad. Therefore plastic is bad. I think

01:04:13.920 plastic is, is the unwilling victim here because we know it is not Canadian plastic that is ending up 0.93

01:04:21.780 up the nose and in the eyeballs of sea turtles somewhere or creating a tidal wave in some Chinese

01:04:26.980 river. It's not our plastic. We're pretty good at dealing with garbage in Canada. We're a pretty

01:04:33.340 clean and tidy place. And actually, if you travel the world, that's one of the things I noticed,

01:04:37.260 like even in advanced Western civilizations, Western countries, Western Europe, I'm like,

01:04:42.280 ah, you guys, it's kind of dirty. You're cleaning the streets. We're really good at dealing with

01:04:46.840 our garbage here in Canada. And, uh, so it's, I don't think it's about, it's never been about

01:04:51.860 plastic. It's about oil and gas and plastic is just related and bad by default. No, you're absolutely

01:04:58.900 right. And Sheila, um, way back, I think it was 1995. I was in Egypt. I was on a, uh, a little cruise

01:05:06.380 ship going down the Nile. I was up late at night. So I, I don't think I was supposed to see this.

01:05:11.180 And I looked with shock as crew members were just tossing full garbage bags off the ship into the

01:05:18.880 Nile river. And it, it, it was like, it was disturbing because I'm with you just because

01:05:26.740 we're pro plastic. That's not worth saying, Oh, toss your empty bottle in the, uh, the lake or river

01:05:32.640 or ocean or litter. No, far be on the contrary, manage the waste, right? You can even make,

01:05:40.580 as you said earlier, energy out of waste. If you, uh, choose to Sheila. Um, and I don't think

01:05:46.500 under cloak of darkness, throwing full garbage bags into a river is the way to go. That, that,

01:05:52.380 that's not what we are advocating. No, I, you know, I'm one of those people that when I go

01:05:58.640 quadding or go camping or whatever, I bring everybody else's garbage out too. Like if I'm

01:06:03.200 on the trails and I see garbage, I pick it up, I put it in the back of my Rhino and I bring it back

01:06:08.780 out. I try to leave the place cleaner than I, uh, than when I got there, I I'm anti littering,

01:06:15.240 but I'm pro plastic. And I don't think those two things are incompatible. Um, however,

01:06:19.480 the liberals seem to think it is for some reason. I'm with you a hundred percent on that. We,

01:06:23.600 we got to run those anti littering ads, uh, those great ads from the early seventies,

01:06:27.360 like, uh, give a hoot, don't pollute, that sort of thing. You'll have me crying. I'll be the guy

01:06:33.300 that cries and turn and I'll be like, somebody will throw something out the window and a tear

01:06:37.160 will roll down my. That's right. Oh, that's that iconic. It's the, the native American who I believe

01:06:43.800 was Italian actually, or it wasn't, but I know what you're saying, you know, but, uh, uh, yeah,

01:06:51.880 I think there is a way to have our plastics and responsibly dispose of them as opposed to

01:06:58.820 canceling the plastics industry, which is apparently what these liberals want to do.
