Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Alberta pauses renewables, Poilievre surges in polls, Immigration and housing

00:00:00.000 Hello, everyone, and welcome to Rebel News' Daily Roundup.

00:00:18.580 I am your host, Adam Sosa, and today I'm joined by the one and only Sid Vizard.

00:00:22.020 How are you doing?

00:00:23.660 Well, I'm doing all right.

00:00:24.360 It's a pleasure to be joining you today.

00:00:25.720 It's an exciting day.

00:00:26.360 There's a lot in the news we're going to be covering.

00:00:27.860 And Adam, how are you doing today?

00:00:29.960 Oh, great.

00:00:30.400 Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

00:00:31.300 It is going to be fun.

00:00:32.860 Lots to talk about.

00:00:34.360 A little bit of good news, a little bit of bad news, some exciting events coming up.

00:00:38.000 Lots to discuss.

00:00:39.140 But before we get into those stories, I want to chat about some of the nuts and bolts of the show.

00:00:44.240 So if you're watching this right now, you're probably watching us on Rumble, Odyssey, YouTube, Getter.

00:00:49.640 If you're watching us somewhere else, I'm surprised.

00:00:51.900 Let us know where you're watching us.

00:00:53.000 But one of the places or one of the things that I want you to consider is if you are watching this on YouTube, that's great.

00:01:01.140 We're happy to have you.

00:01:02.060 But do consider switching over to one of these sort of more free speech oriented platforms.

00:01:07.860 Rumble, they're not advocating an agenda, but what they're doing is they're providing an opportunity for people to share their perspectives without censorship, without agenda.

00:01:16.220 So it's great to support media outlets that work in that way.

00:01:20.140 The other fun thing with Rumble is you can engage with us with Rumble Rants.

00:01:23.120 You chip in a few bucks.

00:01:24.180 It helps us run this show, keep the lights on, do all this important work.

00:01:28.860 And then we get to interact with you, unlike the mainstream media out there that only interacts with their government handlers.

00:01:34.140 We actually like feedback from you guys.

00:01:36.380 That way we can know if we're staying on topic.

00:01:39.080 Or if there's something you want us to discuss, any questions you might have, we love interacting with you.

00:01:42.820 Really, the paid chats are probably my favorite part of this whole thing.

00:01:46.400 Now, you can also check us out by supporting us on Locals.com.

00:01:50.020 You get access to all of our stuff.

00:01:51.220 That'd be on a normal social media stream.

00:01:53.000 But there's also some, like, exclusive content that you wouldn't get anywhere else.

00:01:56.540 So go to Locals.com.

00:01:59.440 And with that said, we can hop into some stories of the day.

00:02:02.620 Now, for folks out there who are maybe still on the fence about Danielle Smith, maybe think there's some good, some bad, still undecided.

00:02:10.620 Here's one politician that you don't have to be on the fence about.

00:02:14.540 Now, this is probably the most Ralph Klein energy thing that I have seen in a long time.

00:02:21.480 This is a Rick Bell column.

00:02:23.700 And the title reads, Smith Cabinet Minister Guts the Left's Lunacy on Drug Addiction.

00:02:29.840 Dan Williams believes strongly in the Alberta government's pledge to put people into treatment who are in danger to themselves and others.

00:02:37.600 Now, this is the sort of treatment program that we have been talking about, the Alberta model, that has been widely embraced, whether it be by First Nations communities, people.

00:02:47.100 We've had the opportunity to go to some of the facilities that are doing this work.

00:02:50.980 The UCP not only removed the $40 a day sort of charge that the NDP and previous conservative governments had in place for people seeking addiction, but they also opened more beds than have ever been opened in the history of Alberta and are continuing to open new clinics with a special emphasis in many of the First Nations communities that are affected.

00:03:10.320 Now, progressives have sort of targeted this and they're advocating for harm reduction, which is effectively free, quote unquote, safe drugs as a better alternative.

00:03:21.100 But I think you and I know that there's no such thing as free or as safe hard drugs, nor are there such a thing as free drugs.

00:03:28.220 Someone's always paying for these things.

00:03:29.700 But it's incredible.

00:03:31.260 Dan Williams knows that there's going to be backlash on this.

00:03:34.060 And I want to read some of his comments and then said, I want to pick your brain about what it's like to hear a politician talking like this.

00:03:40.100 This is an elected official in Alberta.

00:03:42.360 He said, I couldn't care less what progressives and media and the radical activists say.

00:03:48.100 He knows that there's this bell pumping.

00:03:50.540 He knows what he says and he supports will cause social media wrath to rain down upon him.

00:03:55.580 But it's incredible.

00:03:56.340 He said that the sort of outcome of these free drug supplies are misery, carnage and death.

00:04:03.660 He said there aren't other options.

00:04:05.080 The only thing left for us to do is to intervene.

00:04:08.260 And Williams points at these progressive policies as having caused these chaos.

00:04:13.540 The left's best thinking has gotten us.

00:04:15.880 Excuse me, sorry.

00:04:16.820 An ad popped up.

00:04:17.680 The left's best thinking has gotten us to this point.

00:04:20.260 The idea we need more of the left's thinking to solve this problem is insanity,

00:04:23.440 said the point man on mental health and addictions for the UCP government under Smith.

00:04:28.000 For two decades, the progressive left has held a monopoly on policies around addiction.

00:04:32.200 Their logic is we haven't done enough of it.

00:04:35.380 It's obvious the radical progressive left has failed Alberta, Canada, North America and the West in its thinking on addiction.

00:04:41.180 It would destroy us as a province to go down the path further.

00:04:44.820 The only solution is another road.

00:04:46.500 There are some things so crazy you have to be an elected liberal or a socialist to believe them.

00:04:52.260 It's incredible.

00:04:52.820 He goes on and on.

00:04:53.820 But ultimately, he says, the solace I take is that we won an election.

00:04:57.180 We told Albertans exactly what we wanted to do.

00:05:00.480 And then he talks about how there is a moral responsibility, finally, to do the right thing and tackle this.

00:05:06.960 Yeah.

00:05:08.120 When's the last time you heard a politician talking like that?

00:05:10.200 It certainly doesn't happen too often, to say the least.

00:05:14.920 I do think this is very interesting.

00:05:16.360 And obviously, you know, there's one point I think that is fair to make here.

00:05:20.280 And that is, has the problem gotten better or worse over the last few years?

00:05:24.060 You look around, I don't think you're going to be able to find somebody who says that the homelessness,

00:05:28.040 the drug addiction problems in Canada have gotten better over these last few years,

00:05:32.400 especially with the lockdowns that our politicians forced on us over the last couple of years again.

00:05:37.320 And these are leaving people in isolation, destroyed from their families.

00:05:41.780 There's so much harm that has been done.

00:05:43.400 And we see the end result of it now.

00:05:45.180 I mean, you look at the streets of Toronto, Vancouver, even, you know, here in Calgary,

00:05:48.540 you look up at Edmonton, any major city, and even a lot of the smaller towns too.

00:05:52.840 There's homeless problems and there's drug problems associated with them.

00:05:56.720 Every time you find a homeless problem, more than likely you're going to find a drug problem,

00:06:00.120 unless we're talking about the migration issue that certain areas are facing.

00:06:04.400 But in terms of most of the homeless that we're seeing, it is drugs.

00:06:08.040 Drugs is such a huge problem that they're going through.

00:06:10.480 And look at the policies that we've put forward.

00:06:12.320 Nothing is helping them.

00:06:13.160 Yeah, let's give them drugs. 1.00

00:06:14.320 That'll solve the problem.

00:06:15.900 Who thought that was a brilliant idea?

00:06:18.560 That's the question I have.

00:06:19.740 Adam, what do you take on that?

00:06:21.440 Well, and I mean, the fact that they've convinced people,

00:06:24.540 like you talk to people, even somewhat sensible people,

00:06:27.800 and they're like, no, no, but like this harm reduction stuff.

00:06:29.760 I know Mike Ellis, another one of the cabinet ministers here, he was a former police officer.

00:06:35.420 And he said that what you see is that the people who are receiving these free supplies,

00:06:40.180 they sell them at a premium to like college kids or whatever,

00:06:44.320 because they're safe and they can sort of sell them for a premium.

00:06:47.280 And then they're buying dirty drugs anyways. 0.99

00:06:48.820 And the sort of net outcome is more drugs in the streets.

00:06:51.140 But people have bought into this.

00:06:52.960 They're going along with it.

00:06:53.800 I know I've talked to a few people.

00:06:54.980 I was in Kelowna last week, even in like a relatively small sort of resort vacation type atmosphere.

00:07:02.600 There's just there's people on the streets.

00:07:04.280 People don't feel safe going out.

00:07:06.700 Some of the stories I've heard are just absolute horror stories.

00:07:09.200 And people are like, well, I can't go there anymore.

00:07:11.320 This is the mentality and the policies that have led to this.

00:07:14.900 So it's incredible to see that people aren't questioning this.

00:07:18.720 Things are categorically getting worse.

00:07:20.000 And the thing that I've touched on this before, I'll touch on it again.

00:07:22.300 And no one, if this was a member of their own family, would be like, well, I'm going to go get them the best drugs I can.

00:07:28.820 They'd be like, no, I'm going to help them get better.

00:07:30.580 And we've reduced, whether it be the homeless community, whether it be people struggling with mental health,

00:07:34.840 whether it be people struggling with addictions, across all these boards,

00:07:38.160 we've reduced these people to sort of death statistics instead of human beings.

00:07:42.660 That's what we've ultimately come to.

00:07:44.160 And, you know, on the front of whether this is working or not, well, it's interesting.

00:07:48.440 Since the sort of Alberta model has been implemented and some of these reduction strategies have come into effect,

00:07:53.400 I think over the course of a year, and it's been advocated more recently, but they were starting to do work on this.

00:07:59.520 But over the course of a year, I believe only two months have been up and 10 months have been down.

00:08:05.320 Those were the most recent statistics I saw.

00:08:07.120 So overall, 10 out of 12 months seeing improvement in these extremely troubling fields that we've only seen skyrocketing increases in deaths, overdoses, all that stuff.

00:08:17.180 I think that's a pretty good indicator that some things are going the right way. 0.67

00:08:20.960 But I think it's good to see a cabinet minister under Danielle Smith, who has the sort of, I don't know, cojones,

00:08:27.180 or at least the freedom to boldly stand and reject this.

00:08:31.700 You know, the strength of his language, we very often see it from the left condemning people.

00:08:37.660 But it's good to see a conservative flipping the script and saying, no, no, you're the ones who are killing people.

00:08:42.120 And we're the ones who care about them and are trying to save their lives.

00:08:45.980 Well, and maybe perhaps just before we go on to the next story, I heard either today or it was recent.

00:08:51.000 There is a coffee shop in downtown Vancouver, and they had to shut down because over the last couple of years,

00:08:57.260 the homeless problem is just getting worse and worse.

00:08:58.840 He was talking about how, you know, he realized or found out that there were special people you had to call to clean up blood

00:09:03.960 because people were overdosing in their public bathroom.

00:09:07.120 They'd replaced hundreds of windows because the glass kept on getting smashed over the years

00:09:11.520 because of the local drug issue that keeps on getting bigger and bigger.

00:09:15.260 So on top of this affecting, obviously, the individuals with these addictions or their family members and their friends,

00:09:21.720 it is also this culture of drug addiction, having drug addicts roam the streets as though it were no big deal.

00:09:29.860 Yeah, that's exactly the one.

00:09:31.860 This culture of allowing such violence and such a degradation, I believe that's the right word,

00:09:36.800 of our neighborhoods for the sake of drugs is not something that's useful for anybody at the end of the day.

00:09:44.840 And it causes real harm.

00:09:45.860 It destroys communities and the people that are involved.

00:09:49.260 Well, and they use this language of like inclusivity, this rhetoric, but you're inclusive of what?

00:09:55.040 Like carnage, death, destruction, addictions, livelihoods, loss, suicide.

00:09:59.760 I don't want to be inclusive of that.

00:10:01.400 I want to create a Canada where people have opportunities and can ameliorate themselves.

00:10:05.640 But this is not what that is whatsoever.

00:10:08.020 So it's great to see a strong stance against this madness.

00:10:12.500 And hopefully it's effective because ultimately what we are talking about is people struggling

00:10:16.180 and the penalty that they're suffering is often their very lives.

00:10:21.560 So it's so critical.

00:10:23.240 For me, when we first heard about this during the Alberta election, I went to the election.

00:10:28.680 It was a powerful sort of those people who've lost people,

00:10:31.700 people who are working in addiction recovery, many of the First Nations chief.

00:10:36.860 I spoke there with Chief Roy Whitney who lost his own son as a consequence of sort of mental illness and addiction.

00:10:43.820 So it became one of the key sort of election issues for me.

00:10:47.840 And we've been doing a lot of stories on that, not just in Alberta, but across the province.

00:10:51.440 But it is good to see Alberta on so many of these issues taking a strong lead and saying,

00:10:56.080 no, no, no, that's what Alberta is supposed to be doing. 1.00

00:10:58.680 We pay the bills, we show the nation how it's done, and we do our very best to set a bit of a moral standard

00:11:04.480 that much of the rest of this country, maybe not all of it, but apart, seem to have forgotten.

00:11:10.020 So, yeah.

00:11:10.940 Well, and I said that was a last note perhaps before we go on to the next story here.

00:11:15.520 But I also want to bring to light, there was a situation that happened to me in Lethbridge, Alberta recently.

00:11:20.440 We were down there for some court proceedings, and this is a few months ago.

00:11:25.040 So there was an individual who was homeless, and he was looking around, trying to ask people for smokes or whatever, cigarettes.

00:11:32.800 And he walked past me, and we struck a conversation.

00:11:35.920 I'm not opposed to, you know, talking to whoever might come my way.

00:11:38.940 He was obviously homeless, and he was telling me about how he got into that situation.

00:11:43.180 He used to be a bull rider here in Alberta.

00:11:45.380 You know, the rodeos, the guys who, you know, basically try and tame wild animals for show.

00:11:49.880 So, you know, that's the gist of it.

00:11:52.080 And there was an accident that he unfortunately suffered through.

00:11:55.080 Because of that accident, the doctor prescribed him some, you know, pretty serious drugs.

00:11:59.180 We don't normally think about that when a doctor's handing it to us.

00:12:02.120 But these were serious drugs in the same vein as stuff like heroin, just the light version.

00:12:08.220 Eventually, he got cut off from that supply that he needed for the physical pain he was enduring.

00:12:13.340 And he thought it necessary to go to alternative means or go through alternative means to get these drugs.

00:12:20.260 And it is, there is that impact that we talk about on the streets where there are people destroying businesses, destroying their own lives because of these drugs.

00:12:28.680 But it's also how they get into these positions that is something that needs to be talked about.

00:12:34.120 How many people are on the streets because of a prescription a doctor gave them?

00:12:38.660 That's the question I'd like to know.

00:12:39.700 Yeah, yeah.

00:12:41.140 And, you know, you hit something, you hit on something there that I want to talk about.

00:12:44.580 And if there is anyone out there who's like a sort of, you have an established medical practice, particularly if you're a naturopath.

00:12:51.500 I know I'm waiting to hear back from one very well-respected naturopath.

00:12:54.960 But for folks who do want sort of treatments or alternatives or naturopathic outlets, the Trudeau government, and this isn't a news story we have.

00:13:03.420 I'm just kind of going off the cuff.

00:13:04.540 But the Trudeau government seems to be going out of their way.

00:13:07.220 I've had lots of medical professionals reach out to heavily restrict, regulate, and limit access to these things.

00:13:13.700 I remember a time when the left were the ones advocating for sort of preventative treatment, whether we want to call it Eastern medicine, whatever it is, or sort of other outlets rather than hard medical pharmaceutical treatments.

00:13:26.120 But it seems that the left, whether it be the Democrats or the liberals, have been co-opted by Big Pharma in a very big way.

00:13:32.580 And that's part of the reason, too.

00:13:33.760 They're pushing us towards these safe, medically provided things.

00:13:36.980 Where are these supplies coming from?

00:13:38.480 Who are the companies?

00:13:39.540 Who's benefiting from the sort of mass distribution of drugs?

00:13:42.560 Which, don't get me wrong, these drugs aren't free.

00:13:44.080 They're being purchased from companies that are profiting.

00:13:47.080 So there's always that question of where to follow the money.

00:13:50.880 Yeah, great conversation.

00:13:52.280 So I appreciate that.

00:13:52.920 Let's jump to our next story.

00:13:53.800 We've got 20 to get through.

00:13:55.360 We spent a quarter of our time on this one.

00:13:56.960 But I think it is a big and important story.

00:13:59.400 So this next one, big and important, too.

00:14:02.800 Alberta pauses plan to replace RCMP with provincial police force.

00:14:06.520 The Alberta police force option has been studied and touted by the Alberta government for years.

00:14:10.820 Still, it has faced opposition, including from municipalities, over cost implementation and staffing concerns.

00:14:17.080 The Alberta government has rolled back its pursuit of a provincial police force, contrary to mandate letters sent to Premier Daniel Smith's First Cabinet in November.

00:14:25.280 On Tuesday, Justice Minister Mickey Amory told reporters his department continues to consult Albertans on policing,

00:14:30.640 despite not receiving explicit directions from Smith in her recent mandate letter.

00:14:35.540 Alongside Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis, then Justice Minister Tyler Shander,

00:14:39.960 consulted residents on the need for a provincial police force preceding May's general election.

00:14:44.720 And folks can check out the article and read it for themselves.

00:14:48.000 You know, I don't know if you have a chance to talk to a lot of people out in the field about this.

00:14:54.260 But even among sort of conservative circles, and despite a lot of what the RCMP has done,

00:15:00.320 and we don't need to get into some of the questionable antics of the RCMP,

00:15:03.640 but I find people are very divided on this.

00:15:06.140 Some might be in favor of the idea of sort of subsidiarity and reducing the federal influence and having more authority.

00:15:13.200 But then when they look at the costs and the sort of logistics that go into it,

00:15:17.360 they're sort of like on the fence about it.

00:15:19.260 What have you heard or where do you sit on this issue?

00:15:23.240 Well, you know, it is tough to say.

00:15:25.120 I can understand there's, you know, the argument to be had on both sides.

00:15:27.840 And, you know, I think about it in the sense that, well, right now Alberta is hiring the RCMP.

00:15:32.240 It's a contracted service that they provide federal police to basically handle our,

00:15:37.260 any affairs that happen outside of Edmonton and Calgary, basically.

00:15:40.440 They have the infrastructure in place.

00:15:44.300 They have the officers at hand.

00:15:45.640 It makes sense financially, I would think, to just contract them to do the service.

00:15:50.600 However, you look at the end result of that service, and I can't help but think about the CUDS blockade.

00:15:57.040 You know, there's obviously a lot of legal matters that have evolved out of that,

00:16:00.220 people that remain detained to this day, lots of charges that came through.

00:16:05.180 And that was a very large moment where people questioned, okay, why do we have the RCMP doing this?

00:16:12.480 Like even the, I still remember there's a fish and wildlife truck that they had at the blockade.

00:16:17.820 Yeah, I remember it.

00:16:19.160 The police barrier.

00:16:19.920 They were scrambling for resources.

00:16:22.360 And that was probably one of the more high profile incidents they've had to deal with.

00:16:26.180 Did they do a good job?

00:16:28.560 You know, that's a good question.

00:16:31.520 And I think from that, there was a lot of people that did, especially it was revitalized or revived this concept that we should have our own Alberta police force.

00:16:40.260 And at the end of the day, I do think that's the road that we should take.

00:16:43.560 How feasible is that?

00:16:44.780 Well, it seems like the current leadership here says it's probably not likely.

00:16:49.760 So, yeah.

00:16:51.060 Well, we'll see how this story presents itself in the years ahead.

00:16:54.920 And, I mean, you look at the gun grab, you look at some of the Heritage Front stuff, you look at the history there.

00:16:59.960 There's certainly problematic things.

00:17:01.300 Now, those things might pop up.

00:17:02.980 But one thing that you got there perfectly, right, was coots.

00:17:07.060 And I'm sure you probably noticed this as well.

00:17:09.160 But I know I talked to just about every cop who was there, and that was a lot of them over in Milk River.

00:17:14.400 They had to bring folks in because, one, they didn't want the local police who'd be dealing with locals doing that stuff.

00:17:20.800 So they brought people from afar.

00:17:22.200 But doesn't that say something?

00:17:24.200 Like, if the police don't want to do it to the extent that they have to bring in police from out of province, that means the police know that there's something wrong.

00:17:32.580 So if we had an internal police force with more sort of Albertan sentiments, they might have said, well, we're not doing this.

00:17:39.140 And guess what?

00:17:40.000 They would have been right to.

00:17:41.120 For those who haven't seen the news, we wrote it up.

00:17:43.620 We discussed it on stream yesterday.

00:17:44.940 But Dina Hinshaw's COVID lockdown measures have been struck down effectively as unlawful and validated.

00:17:51.740 So so much of what we saw was an extension of laws that should never have existed in the first place.

00:17:57.540 So some good news there.

00:17:59.360 I also have later today a report coming out with both John Carpe and Eva Cipiak weighing in on that.

00:18:05.160 So a massive win.

00:18:07.100 You know, I don't mind, though.

00:18:08.760 Part of conservatism is sort of not jumping to something if the numbers don't make sense, not leaping forward.

00:18:17.060 That's what the other side does.

00:18:18.460 So I don't mind the government, a conservative government, hitting pause on this in order to sort of say, listen, is this cost effective?

00:18:25.880 Is this viable?

00:18:26.780 Is this something that we can we can pull off?

00:18:30.080 We'll jump now to a Toronto Star article.

00:18:32.660 You can actually go to the Alberta government website if you want and read about this yourself.

00:18:36.640 But I want to read it.

00:18:38.240 Let's read from the Toronto Star's perspective just for fun.

00:18:41.180 Alberta announces six month plan on on pause on renewable energy, citing rural concerns.

00:18:46.900 Now, this I'm not sure if you've seen social media, but I think Denial Smith was trending and people are going ballistic over another pausing.

00:18:57.140 This is just a pausing.

00:18:58.240 It's a very conservative thing to do.

00:18:59.440 Let's let's stop.

00:19:00.260 Let's look at this because there are a lot of concerns with with the massive booming renewable energy industry.

00:19:05.640 Now, the concerns are pretty dynamic, but we'll read a bit from the article here and then we'll discuss Alberta's United Conservative government is pausing all approval in the province's booming renewable energy industry in response to what it says are rural and environmental concerns.

00:19:21.300 In a statement Thursday, the government said that the Alberta Utilities Commission is to institute a six month moratorium on approving wind and solar projects greater than one megawatt.

00:19:30.660 The commission will initiate an inquiry into the development of agricultural land, effect on scenery, reclamation of security, and the role of municipalities.

00:19:41.780 And I think this last one is really the ultimate one.

00:19:44.200 It's the one I'm most concerned with, system reliability.

00:19:46.780 So one of the issues with, with the massive sort of investment for folks out there who don't know is you can generate all the power in the world, but if you don't have a capacity to turn it on or off when you need it, it doesn't do you very much good.

00:20:02.260 I think I heard what you're saying, you're, you're cutting out a little bit there.

00:20:17.080 Um, but you know, one thing I can, I can add to that is the fact that, yeah, it's, there's one thing, which is the matter of creating energy.

00:20:23.700 The other thing is the matter of storing energy.

00:20:25.600 Now you think about how we store diesel, how we store gasoline, it obviously everything has an expiry date, uh, some way down the line, uh, but a battery, you have to keep a battery charged.

00:20:35.960 And you also, you think about the, the influx in, uh, energy in the system.

00:20:41.520 So during the day, during the night, there's a difference in wind energy, uh, how much can be, you know, the wind dies down during the night a bit.

00:20:48.720 Uh, but you have to provide a constant flow of energy to a system.

00:20:52.800 And let's say, uh, you think about, uh, uh, an energy production, uh, uh, site, like a diesel generator that is, you know, a bit more, uh, uh, largely scaled for, uh, communities instead of just, you know,

00:21:05.680 your truck or a couple of plugins, uh, these things have to be running consistently.

00:21:09.280 And what they'll do is they'll run on idle or a lower, um, energy output while, uh, the implementation of solar is, uh, being propagated during the day.

00:21:18.520 And then they have to cycle up during the night to help offset the energy needs of night, something along those lines.

00:21:23.520 I might be, you know, a little mixed up in the weeds here.

00:21:26.520 Uh, but we, we do want to diversify what kind of energy we have.

00:21:31.340 And a good thing though, to talk about is how we are pausing things for this, you know, little period.

00:21:37.660 Uh, it is good to take these pauses and over the last two years, especially with COVID and everything like that, a lot of us, I think, have unconsciously become, uh, not aware of, but we've, we've gotten used to the routine that politicians put on us.

00:21:53.520 Where you're back here.

00:21:56.020 I hope so.

00:21:56.800 Can you hear me?

00:21:57.240 Okay.

00:21:57.600 Perfect.

00:21:58.200 Yeah, we're perfect.

00:21:58.760 Yeah, I was just saying, we've, we've kind of gotten into this habit of, you know, every week or every two weeks, there's a COVID update.

00:22:05.520 There's an update from the government, um, and people want to hear the next thing immediately in a sense.

00:22:09.740 We were demanding speed from our politicians when in reality, you know, this idea to, you know, put pause for six months in a sense, it makes a lot of sense.

00:22:18.080 You, you do want to pause and assess your situation.

00:22:21.200 If you're always go, go, go, then you're going to miss a lot of stuff along the way.

00:22:24.600 Um, and particularly in the case of windmills, well, I I've heard from a lot of Southern Albertans who, who have expressed deep concerns about the windmills and about where they're putting them, uh, because this does affect their crops.

00:22:35.360 This does affect their area in ways that people generally don't think about.

00:22:39.240 Uh, and of course there are other environmental concerns with windmills.

00:22:42.460 Like you think about, uh, the birds.

00:22:44.540 I mean, how many birds have died because of windmills I laugh it's so sad situation, obviously, but it's like we're, we put them in the path of the wind, which is also very useful for the birds as a migratory path.

00:22:54.320 And then we don't expect them to all, well, we, we don't expect them to die in the numbers that they are.

00:22:59.740 It's, it's kind of ridiculous. 0.97

00:23:01.160 Yeah. 0.75

00:23:01.520 Well, and hopefully everyone can hear me.

00:23:02.940 Sorry about that.

00:23:03.440 I'm not sure what exactly happened.

00:23:04.540 The audio seems to have just cut out on me.

00:23:06.140 It didn't move or anything, but, uh, you know, the other thing that I find incredibly interesting is the amount of energy that progressives put into, say, stopping mining in area.

00:23:14.240 It'll be an eyesore.

00:23:16.080 Um, and then they want to like clear cut forests to put in solar panels and massive wind turbines.

00:23:22.400 I'm sure the, the big wind turbines to them look like some sort of European socialist utopia.

00:23:28.000 So maybe they like that, but for most people out there putting aside, I mean, there's questions about, about migraines and other concerns being investigated, but, um, compared to a pristine.

00:23:40.200 Rocky mountain landscape, giant windmills, uh, not exactly the prettiest thing you've ever seen.

00:23:45.260 So, um, yeah, it's, it's interesting.

00:23:49.100 Like Daniel Smith really cannot win with these people.

00:23:51.400 Um, she's advocating for technology.

00:23:53.420 She's not putting an end to this.

00:23:54.920 Um, the sort of openness has led to a massive boom of these energies here.

00:24:00.340 Um, but then she says, okay, we're going to pause for a bit.

00:24:03.560 Cause there's some concerns here.

00:24:04.540 This isn't a stop.

00:24:05.480 This is a pause to look at it again, like you said, a conservative move.

00:24:08.940 Um, but you know, the thing I wanted to touch on here as well is, is this article.

00:24:14.600 It's funny how it talks about like up to 19% of the power being provided.

00:24:19.700 They're, they're exclusively talking about peak periods when it's the best case scenario only.

00:24:25.440 Um, they're not talking about the other times.

00:24:28.020 And, uh, that transitions us into our next article, uh, here, which is Alberta wind farms

00:24:34.580 nearly ground to a halt.

00:24:35.620 This is actually from a little while ago.

00:24:37.100 This is from April 5th.

00:24:39.020 But I think this understanding this context, Daniel Smith would love to just have a bunch

00:24:45.180 of massive high budgeted projects coming into the province, creating jobs, creating industry.

00:24:50.800 But if those projects don't work long-term, they're going to become an economic burden instead

00:24:55.260 of an economic boom.

00:24:56.700 Um, so according to Alberta's energy grid data, uh, wind and solar power production fell

00:25:01.800 sharply Monday, and this was back in April to 29 megawatts, less than 1% of the province's

00:25:08.740 total energy capacity pipeline online reported Alberta's energy output from wind plummeted

00:25:13.820 to 0.8% capacity with 29 megawatts generated just after midnight, a great in-depth article

00:25:20.760 there from Alex Dolly.

00:25:21.780 Well, but I more so wanted to sort of touch on the fact that while some of these technologies

00:25:26.700 are great until every one of us has one of those Tesla cells in our house that can store 0.70

00:25:32.800 juice for a couple days and we can take the power off the grid and take it when it comes

00:25:37.380 in, store it and use it when we need it until that technology is viable, we can't go down

00:25:43.320 this route.

00:25:43.960 We're not ready to yet.

00:25:46.160 This is one of those cases of the government trying to leap technology forward when it's

00:25:49.560 not ready to.

00:25:50.660 We've seen it happen in other countries, the leap manifest, leap forward manifesto in China,

00:25:54.580 for example, uh, quite a few million people died as a consequence of that.

00:25:58.340 Not saying that's going to happen here, but again, I think this whole pausing because the

00:26:02.680 technology is not there and taking time to consider, um, those other, all those other

00:26:07.560 considerations matter, but the grid stability thing is the biggest concern for me.

00:26:10.960 Uh, and I think it makes sense.

00:26:12.660 Danielle Smith knew there was going to be backlash over this, but she also knew it was the right

00:26:16.380 thing to do, uh, and I'm, I'm, I'm very happy to see a government that has the capacity to

00:26:20.340 do that, whether it's on addictions, whether it's on crime or whether it's on, uh, the,

00:26:24.900 the massive sort of booming, uh, eco green industries that, uh, maybe aren't quite as

00:26:31.680 ready as they think they are.

00:26:33.140 Uh, any thoughts on that?

00:26:36.080 Uh, well, it's a big can of worms.

00:26:38.380 And I, I remember, uh, at the global energy show here in downtown Calgary that happened a

00:26:42.780 couple of weeks ago, uh, Daniel Smith had a speech.

00:26:44.820 Scott Moe was there, uh, a few politicians were there and the talk of the town was,

00:26:50.500 uh, uh, basically playing both sides of the fence, right?

00:26:53.920 Uh, you want to still produce your oil and gas, but you also want to have your hand in

00:26:57.340 all of these different pots.

00:26:58.600 Uh, and I'm talking about oil, uh, oil and gas, wind, solar, you, you want to have your

00:27:03.460 hand in all of these so that you can, in a sense, you have a stake in the game, but also

00:27:07.700 so that you understand what's going on.

00:27:09.800 Um, and if like the, the big thing that's, you know, coming up with, uh,

00:27:14.960 hydrocarbons and hydrogen energy and stuff like that, well, where do you get, where

00:27:18.100 are you going to get your hydrogen?

00:27:19.780 Well, you're going to get it from oil and gas.

00:27:22.900 Um, you're just refining it twice basically is my understanding, or maybe you'll

00:27:25.760 change the way that you, you process those materials, but the oil and gas industry is

00:27:31.140 never going to go away.

00:27:32.060 And the faster people realize that the better, I mean, you think about your

00:27:34.820 pharmaceuticals, right?

00:27:35.820 You're, you're, you know, so, so needed, so desperately loved drugs that the doctor

00:27:40.360 will give you, well, how much of that is reliant upon the oil and gas industry?

00:27:44.800 A lot.

00:27:45.480 Uh, you know, you want to talk about plastic straws and, and, you know, we're

00:27:48.460 doing all of this for the sake of the energy transition for the saving of the planet.

00:27:52.720 Right?

00:27:52.960 So what, what do we do instead of, uh, getting oil from the hole in the ground

00:27:56.740 that also gives us plastic straws.

00:27:58.360 We decided to burn down the, or not burn down.

00:28:00.400 We decided to chop down the forest.

00:28:01.720 We could put up a bunch of solar panels.

00:28:04.120 And then what did we do with the trees?

00:28:05.620 We turned them into wooden forks and knives and spoons to replace the plastic

00:28:09.580 ones that came from the hole in the ground.

00:28:11.080 We destroyed an entire forest for that, you know, for the environment.

00:28:14.720 It it's gotten so delusional at this point.

00:28:16.960 It's, it's almost hard to, it is hard to address because it is so blown out of proportion.

00:28:22.000 It's turned into a fantasy land.

00:28:23.740 Uh, and you look at Steven Gilboa, right?

00:28:25.600 The environmental activists who, uh, uh, back in the day, tried to climb the CN tower

00:28:29.540 to make a stance for Greenpeace.

00:28:31.120 And then now environmental protesters are protesting him.

00:28:34.060 I mean, it's this weird cycle they go through and you look at the news about

00:28:38.180 Chrystia Freeland recently and her driving around.

00:28:40.200 She says she doesn't own a car or whatever like that.

00:28:42.100 Yeah.

00:28:42.280 She doesn't own a car, but she owns a valet service.

00:28:44.860 Right?

00:28:45.160 Like in the same thing with all of our elites, Bill Gates, our, our actors, you know, uh,

00:28:49.360 Leonardo DiCaprio, he'll go there and stand up at the United nations and say, the planet's

00:28:53.620 going to blow up unless we change the environment.

00:28:55.660 And then he'll fly back home on his private jet.

00:28:57.760 Bill Gates every single day, not every single day.

00:29:00.520 I probably can't say that, but he incessantly uses that private jet, whether he's going to

00:29:05.140 private islands or, or fancy business trips around the world. 0.96

00:29:08.860 It's, it's absolutely ridiculous.

00:29:10.820 The double standard that's in play. 0.92

00:29:12.880 Oh, absolutely.

00:29:14.120 It's if any of these folks actually believe this stuff, they wouldn't be acting the way

00:29:19.640 they are.

00:29:20.500 Even the amount of people who have oceanfront properties and are saying, oh, these are,

00:29:24.900 these are going to flood.

00:29:25.580 I'm like, I'm pretty sure if you believe that you'd be selling off your $50 million mansions

00:29:30.060 that are right on the coast. 0.55

00:29:32.320 The hypocrisy is glaring.

00:29:34.020 The other thing, and I mean, this goes back to it, but let's look again at where the money

00:29:37.820 flows.

00:29:38.560 We switched not that long ago.

00:29:40.020 We've talked about this on stream.

00:29:41.200 A few times we switched from paper to plastic because plastic was a by-product we could

00:29:46.180 sort of naturally acquire from other processes.

00:29:49.000 It was like using the leather from a cow you're going to eat anyways.

00:29:52.300 Now we've switched back and we're clear cutting forests to make these products.

00:29:57.740 And then the, the, the resources that are available, we're not using anymore.

00:30:01.900 I really do wonder though, how many people who are making these decisions sort of maybe

00:30:07.120 like we saw Ford was, had a connection to a company making decals and warning labels that

00:30:13.720 they hired to, to sort of put all over, whether it be public transit or in restaurants or whatever.

00:30:20.540 Um, so you wonder how much of a connection there might be between some of the people making

00:30:24.880 decisions, um, and then some of these industries, but we are way overdue for a commercial break.

00:30:31.100 Let's jump to that commercial break and then we'll come back.

00:30:33.020 We'll talk a little bit.

00:30:34.100 Uh, we'll get into some federal politics, talk about Polly Avera and Trudeau.

00:30:37.140 How in the world could such a small group of people with limited resources change world

00:30:45.140 history?

00:30:45.580 But in fact, that's happening and it's the power of the truth.

00:30:48.820 The truth is like kryptonite.

00:30:50.380 Healthcare isn't in some sense working very well.

00:30:53.280 Foster Colson is thinking about this.

00:30:55.260 He's got a new company, an online healthcare platform called the Wellness Company.

00:30:59.240 Telehealth company called the Wellness Company.

00:31:01.140 The Wellness Company.

00:31:01.920 The most popular product is the detoxification supplement that features natokinase.

00:31:07.140 Natokinase is the only enzyme that we're aware of right now that dissolves the spike

00:31:11.700 protein.

00:31:12.320 Spike protein is loaded in the body with the COVID-19 infection and definitely with the

00:31:16.560 vaccines.

00:31:17.000 We've been completely accurate on the spread of the virus, early treatment on the deficiencies

00:31:22.980 in hospital care.

00:31:24.060 And now the deaths that are occurring after vaccination, this is a human outrage and it's

00:31:30.140 occurring at the end of a hypodermic needle.

00:31:33.000 Isn't it interesting?

00:31:33.900 Natural substances combating this man-made disaster.

00:31:44.580 Now quickly before we keep rolling with our stories here, I just want to mention for folks

00:31:48.680 out there, one really cool thing with the Wellness Company is it's actually a group, many of which

00:31:54.120 are comprised of doctors who spoke out throughout COVID-19 and sort of questioned lockdown mechanisms.

00:32:01.120 And if you think about it, these are folks who went to medical school, likely spent years

00:32:05.500 building a practice, and then when they saw something was wrong, they put it all on the

00:32:10.120 line and many of them lost their jobs as a consequence.

00:32:13.140 Now they're coming together to try and help people and restore that sort of pre-restrictions

00:32:18.560 feel, if you catch my meaning.

00:32:20.740 So if you're in need of sort of any of these types of services that they offer, they mentioned

00:32:27.120 there that spike support formula, do consider supporting a company like theirs because they've

00:32:33.160 been standing up against the stuff, stuff that no doubt many of you are concerned about from

00:32:36.880 the very beginning.

00:32:37.740 And like so many people out there, they've also paid a price, but they're trying to turn

00:32:41.840 it into something positive.

00:32:43.180 So kudos to the Wellness Company for the stuff they're doing as well as for supporting the work

00:32:47.260 we do.

00:32:47.860 So I really appreciate that.

00:32:49.800 You can actually use the code as well, REBEL, for 10% off your checkout, including on that

00:32:54.780 spike support formula.

00:32:56.340 So check that out when you have a chance.

00:32:59.600 On that note, as we mentioned, we're going to transition into some federal discussions,

00:33:04.840 rather.

00:33:05.500 And we've got a video, I believe, from Pierre Polyevre here on Trudeau and his love of red

00:33:11.800 tape.

00:33:12.260 So let's jump to that video clip now we can discuss.

00:33:14.320 By the way, we will also stand up against Trudeau's attempts to shut down natural health products.

00:33:21.920 He's trying to shut those down.

00:33:28.360 This is about nothing more than giving more power, more control to multinational pharmaceutical

00:33:34.780 companies rather than letting Canadians have the freedom and choice to try different kinds

00:33:40.240 of treatments.

00:33:40.740 We need more freedom and choice, not less, in the health decisions that we make.

00:33:48.560 Yeah, that's what we touched on earlier there.

00:33:50.940 It's wild to see them going after this.

00:33:53.200 And the only thing you can think of, I mean, this isn't like, oh, let's implement a couple

00:33:57.500 extra restrictive measures.

00:33:58.860 This is overboard.

00:34:00.380 I've talked to many naturopaths extremely concerned about what this federal government is doing

00:34:05.060 and the attacks on their industries.

00:34:08.060 It's wild.

00:34:08.880 And if you look at socialized health care in general, countries like Canada provide the

00:34:14.640 least innovation in health care.

00:34:16.400 Lots of the treatments that we're implementing are archaic.

00:34:19.920 Like the best analogy I can think of is like a NASA space shuttle.

00:34:23.560 We're effectively using technology from the 70s while other countries are advancing, realizing

00:34:29.140 that there's opportunities and actually developing so much of, and we talked about this earlier,

00:34:35.300 the rhetoric of the left about preventative health care and sort of preparing yourself

00:34:41.280 before you're getting sick.

00:34:42.600 Well, now they're saying, no, no, no, scrap all that.

00:34:44.440 We're going to make it impossible to access basic vitamins that have been proven to help

00:34:49.100 people.

00:34:49.820 And we're going to shift towards this sort of ultra regulatory industry where we give everyone

00:34:56.420 farm and we don't, we don't allow all these other alternatives that have been tried and

00:35:01.640 tested throughout time.

00:35:03.060 Can you think of any other motivation, Sid, for this like attempt to basically strip down

00:35:08.820 natural, healthy alternatives?

00:35:11.760 I mean, let's, how conspiratorial can we get today?

00:35:17.360 It's, it's difficult, right?

00:35:18.820 I mean, I think about the food supply.

00:35:20.720 I think about the pharmaceutical industry and obviously they're, they're very tied together.

00:35:24.760 Um, these are the nutrients that allow us to live.

00:35:29.280 Uh, you know, you should really be thanking our farmers for all of the food we have at

00:35:33.060 hand.

00:35:33.660 Uh, but the problem does come with the, the narrowing of what we are allowed to consume,

00:35:39.200 the narrowing of the, the health strategies we're allowed to implement for ourselves.

00:35:44.260 Um, you think about like, look at the last two years with the pandemic.

00:35:49.100 I mean, if I didn't take their shot, then I wasn't allowed to sit down at a restaurant.

00:35:53.180 If I didn't take their shot, then I might not have been allowed to go to a grocery store

00:35:57.580 in Quebec.

00:35:58.400 And this is the road we were going down is if you do not comply, then you do not get

00:36:03.240 to live basically.

00:36:04.360 I mean, they, they want to say, obviously, Oh no, we didn't force anybody to do this or

00:36:07.700 that or whatever.

00:36:08.700 I don't know how many people killed themselves over the last two years because they were

00:36:12.080 their own family members were turning against them saying, you can't come to our family

00:36:15.920 events because you're not vaccinated.

00:36:17.900 Their bosses telling them you can't go to work because you're not vaccinated.

00:36:21.220 And this, this ties into what Pierre saying here.

00:36:24.380 Yeah, sure.

00:36:24.800 We want, uh, natural health products to be available.

00:36:27.820 We want people to pursue those remedies and to bring them to light because more options

00:36:31.960 is better.

00:36:32.380 If you're looking to protect your health, the government doesn't know what's healthy

00:36:35.900 for you.

00:36:36.340 They know what they want from you.

00:36:37.920 Um, and that's something that I think a lot of people need to have a little more perspective

00:36:41.880 on.

00:36:42.140 You know, I think about, uh, Sheila Annette Lewis, uh, the woman who recently Alberta health

00:36:46.600 services, they denied her a lifesaving organ transplant because of her vaccination status.

00:36:51.080 Uh, uh, this is the, the narrowing, uh, of your health products, your, your, the nutrients

00:36:57.300 you are allowed to consume.

00:36:58.700 Uh, and personally, I'm of the belief that I should eat as much of what God created as

00:37:03.580 possible.

00:37:04.000 When it comes to the fruits, I want to try all of them.

00:37:05.940 The vegetables, I want to try all of them.

00:37:07.500 The meats, I want to try all of them, you know, to a reasonable extent.

00:37:10.720 Um, but that's not something they want.

00:37:12.860 They want you to have macaroni and cheese that came out of a factory for the rest of your life.

00:37:16.500 Uh, this is not healthy for anybody.

00:37:19.280 Yeah, exactly.

00:37:20.020 Eat the bugs, eat the bugs.

00:37:21.380 We'll grind them into a paste and like inject it through your, you know, your, into you. 0.99

00:37:26.320 Um, it's, it's absolutely horrendous.

00:37:28.520 And I think, you know, you don't want to talk about the end game in this.

00:37:31.040 Why are they doing this?

00:37:31.880 Well, why are they, why are they boiling milk before we get to drink it?

00:37:36.080 I'd like to know.

00:37:36.960 I'd like to be able to have a raw natural glass of milk and be more in tune with what our

00:37:41.140 bodies were designed for, which is the natural environment we live in, not the factory made

00:37:45.780 stuff that comes out of a machine that we're told we have to eat on a daily basis.

00:37:49.640 I mean, for those people that are giving their children, um, these, you know, pre-made boxes

00:37:54.620 of, you know, this weird cut of meat, a weird cut of cheese and a weird cracker.

00:37:58.040 That's your Lunchable.

00:37:58.940 Uh, uh, I don't want to accuse Lunchable specifically of, uh, as a brand, but, um, you talk about these

00:38:04.620 manufactured meals, what health, what, what has that done for our health?

00:38:08.880 What is, uh, McDonald's, Tim Hortons, what have these, these massive industries done

00:38:12.940 for our health?

00:38:13.540 They've destroyed it.

00:38:14.520 And here we are, we're trying to prevent the regular, uh, the regulation more in the

00:38:18.540 food industry, in the medical industry, uh, in the, the health products that we're allowed

00:38:22.120 to consume.

00:38:22.560 How many doctors were, were terminated or shunned from the industry because they were, uh,

00:38:27.300 proposing other medicines that proved to be effective during the pandemic.

00:38:30.560 And they're still not allowed back into, you know, the club as it were.

00:38:35.000 Well, and I think on that note, like, for example, though, and I think we'll redirect

00:38:38.580 the malice towards the government because you don't have to have McDonald's.

00:38:42.800 You can, I happen to like it as the odd alternative.

00:38:45.560 I get a McDouble with an extra patty.

00:38:47.240 That's my jam.

00:38:48.000 Um, but it's an option.

00:38:49.360 The government is, isn't, McDonald's isn't saying I can only eat McDonald's.

00:38:53.540 My problem is when the government is trying to restrict and, and look, you look at like

00:38:58.160 the USDA food guide, the, the onset of obesity within our culture stems from the onset of the

00:39:06.000 USDA food pyramid, which in no way mirrors what people have eaten throughout all of human

00:39:11.420 history.

00:39:11.860 It's a complete anomaly.

00:39:13.540 And it was, it was effectively grain farmers who were contributing to this agricultural directive

00:39:19.280 to eat way more grain.

00:39:21.140 And people take that as gospel.

00:39:22.940 They actually think that that breakdown of nutrition is what's healthy.

00:39:26.180 And these are the same people who are saying, who are saying, maybe you should take some

00:39:29.760 of these, uh, injections or else you can't go to work.

00:39:32.560 And they're now the same people who are targeting, uh, some of these health industries.

00:39:37.180 And you know, what's wild is if you ever had any apprehensions about some of the sort of

00:39:41.240 naturopathic health alternatives, the government trying to take them away from you, particularly

00:39:46.000 Justin Trudeau's government is probably the strongest endorsement and proof that there's

00:39:49.980 something effective about them that we've ever seen.

00:39:52.640 Um, so yeah, it's sincerely concerning and there's no reason for it.

00:39:56.620 This isn't, oh, we're going to add a little bit of regulatory FDA level control to ensure

00:40:01.880 that these aren't coming out of sketchy Chinese factories.

00:40:04.580 Everything I'm hearing is that they're trying to fundamentally undermine this.

00:40:08.040 So big pharma is the only way that you can seek treatment.

00:40:11.780 Um, in other Polyevra related news, we do have a video, I believe, um, of, uh, Pierre

00:40:18.780 Paul, or is it just a tweet?

00:40:20.080 Yeah, no, I think it's just a tweet potentially here.

00:40:21.800 Uh, Pierre Paulieff's conservatives are now popular with union members, immigrants, women

00:40:26.640 and young people.

00:40:27.560 And this was achieved without flip-flopping to become liberal light.

00:40:31.500 Now, some people might argue about that, but there's no doubt that, that Justin Trudeau

00:40:38.020 is losing even his base.

00:40:39.560 And it is, it is based on things like health issues.

00:40:42.760 Like, don't get me wrong.

00:40:44.020 There are, there are hippies who we now see at freedom protests because of medical coercion

00:40:50.060 and because of attacks on sort of natural alternatives.

00:40:52.620 And now for people who are hard working class people who have gone along with their unions

00:40:58.460 for years and voted socialist or liberal or NDP or whatever it may be, those people, the

00:41:04.440 little raises that they're getting for, for going along with their unions, they're not

00:41:08.800 offsetting the fact that house costs have doubled.

00:41:11.320 They can't afford their groceries.

00:41:13.480 They're saying enough is enough.

00:41:15.480 And they're flipping the script.

00:41:17.240 Ezra commented on this as well, I believe.

00:41:18.900 I think we've got a tweet from Ezra here.

00:41:20.880 Union members are more likely to vote conservative than non-union members.

00:41:24.200 That's shocking.

00:41:25.180 Their union members are more conservative.

00:41:27.300 They're nearly twice as likely to vote conservative than NDP.

00:41:30.820 The NDP has become the party of woke leftists, a luxury brand dedicated to virtue signaling

00:41:35.620 about global warming and transgenderism.

00:41:37.260 So dead on, like there's always been sort of a disconnect in my mind.

00:41:41.100 I don't know if you've noticed too.

00:41:42.020 I mean, you have a background.

00:41:43.180 You and I have both worked hard labor jobs, but there's sort of a mentality that sort of

00:41:48.360 union folks are hardworking, salt of the earth, decent people, but then they were voting for,

00:41:54.420 they seemed conservative, but then they're often voting for sort of leftist parties.

00:41:59.880 Well, there's been a sort of a balancing of the force and they're coming back home to their

00:42:05.080 roots and their values.

00:42:05.920 They're rejecting what the unions have been telling them, the false promises that those

00:42:09.560 politicians feed to unions and unions then push on their workers.

00:42:13.600 And they're saying, no, I can't afford to pay my bills.

00:42:15.460 And so I'm going to stop voting for this madness.

00:42:19.240 Yeah, no, to say the least.

00:42:20.700 I mean, obviously there's, depends on the union we're talking about, right?

00:42:24.500 There's a lot of good unions.

00:42:25.460 There's a lot of bad unions.

00:42:27.640 And there, I always err on the side of caution, you know, when I would address them, but especially,

00:42:33.320 you know, considering, you know, I don't want to beat a dead horse here too much, but over the last

00:42:36.960 two years, I mean, did they stick up for their people?

00:42:39.820 You know, did, were they defending people's rights as their, their employers were forcing

00:42:44.140 certain permanent medical procedures?

00:42:46.500 I mean, I say permanent, but perhaps the medicines like the one in the advertisement we just brought up

00:42:50.640 would hopefully change that for those who are looking to find an out, I guess you could say.

00:42:56.080 But it is interesting, this, this turning on Trudeau and the liberals by extent, and it's about time.

00:43:03.780 I mean, how many years has it been?

00:43:05.040 And, you know, let's, I don't necessarily need to harp on this too much, but, you know, he did,

00:43:09.360 Trudeau, Justin Trudeau can't keep his own house in order.

00:43:11.780 What makes you think he can keep a country in order?

00:43:13.840 That's the bottom line.

00:43:14.820 And it's going to go in Pierre's favor by, by the time that this, this, these chickens come

00:43:22.400 home to roost in the election.

00:43:23.780 I don't see a way for Trudeau to maintain that support.

00:43:26.380 And we were talking about this previously, the Hutterites and, and the hip hop scene in

00:43:30.200 Toronto, we're both mad at Trudeau.

00:43:32.220 Every side of the coin here, everybody's getting, getting to the end, the end of the rope with

00:43:37.520 Justin Trudeau.

00:43:38.500 So it really is, in my opinion, just a matter of time before he's out.

00:43:42.080 And every day it looks more the case.

00:43:43.780 So, well, I've got very progressive friends who now as a sort of, it's become like an

00:43:50.720 idiom or a turn of phrase they use.

00:43:53.320 Anytime something goes wrong, they say, thanks, Trudeau.

00:43:56.880 Like, ironically, they're like, thanks, Trudeau.

00:43:58.940 Like, like an engine light can come on and they say, thanks, Trudeau.

00:44:02.160 He's gotten to the point where he's like a universal stand and for things going terribly

00:44:06.280 awry.

00:44:06.840 But even you can be a local business as I was, I was filming an interview with a Mahmoud 1.00

00:44:10.920 Moura yesterday.

00:44:13.180 I'm the organizer of the Muslim anti-LGBTQ indoctrination protests here in Calgary.

00:44:17.940 Um, and I want, when I walked by, I had all my camera gear with me and then I walked past

00:44:22.560 a shop that would, that was in a pretty trendy, progressive-ish area.

00:44:26.360 And I go in and the lady there goes, I won't say names, but the lady there goes, oh, uh, 0.99

00:44:30.160 you're, you're new.

00:44:31.220 Uh, then I say I'm with Rebel.

00:44:32.780 She doesn't say anything.

00:44:33.700 I'm like, I'm in a progressive neighborhood.

00:44:35.760 Maybe not.

00:44:36.500 Then some other customers leave and she leans in. 0.97

00:44:38.400 And she's like, you know, the last prime minister who, who couldn't keep his family together

00:44:42.320 was his dad.

00:44:43.420 And it's just immediately, like, it doesn't matter where you go.

00:44:46.460 Nobody seems, and I mean, I'm not making light of the guy's personal struggles, but it's

00:44:50.120 just no matter where you go and no matter what the walk of life, people, people aren't behind

00:44:54.840 him anymore.

00:44:56.000 Speaking of which, and we're going to be one.

00:44:58.520 Oh, he's, I just want to say he's quite literally an international embarrassment at this

00:45:02.640 point.

00:45:03.220 You've got high politicians from around the world looking at this guy like he's a joke.

00:45:07.260 Why shouldn't we?

00:45:08.400 Yeah.

00:45:08.640 But you wanted to jump to the ad there.

00:45:09.920 Sorry.

00:45:11.120 Yeah, no, no.

00:45:11.680 One more video here.

00:45:12.520 And then we've got an ad here.

00:45:13.700 Um, just to sort of touch on Justin Trudeau and wrap him up.

00:45:17.960 This is, uh, uh, this was posted by, uh, Ryan Gerritsen on Twitter.

00:45:21.620 This is a lesser known 2021 campaign speech from Trudeau.

00:45:24.580 It sums up just how vile and divisive this man was and still is.

00:45:27.880 Uh, this video highlights how unwell this man is.

00:45:30.140 No one has stroked anger or fear more than Trudeau.

00:45:32.380 Let's play that.

00:45:33.060 Over the last little while, you've probably seen the disturbing anger of anti-vaxxers and

00:45:40.220 anti-maskers.

00:45:41.760 You might've seen them marching downtown against local businesses that are following public health

00:45:47.080 rules or yelling at a grocery store clerk or a server at your local diner, or even threatening

00:45:53.740 people at one of our rallies.

00:45:57.700 Let's be clear.

00:45:59.580 It's your freedom.

00:46:01.500 I'm focused on the freedom of the responsible majority of us who are fully vaccinated.

00:46:07.800 The freedom of our children under 12 who can't yet get their shots because that's what's

00:46:12.900 at stake.

00:46:13.380 And I will always stand up for your right to be safe, to be in places that are free from

00:46:20.720 COVID-19, your right to not be forced back into lockdown.

00:46:26.200 So we'll stand firm on our commitment that federal public servants should be vaccinated.

00:46:31.660 We'll make sure everyone on your plane or train is vaccinated.

00:46:35.340 We'll protect businesses that mandate vaccinations from unjustified lawsuits, and we'll pay for

00:46:41.880 the rollout of proof of vaccination programs for every province and territory.

00:46:51.580 Oh, can't hear you there, Adam.

00:46:55.620 Sorry, can you hear me now?

00:46:56.920 Not sure what's going on.

00:46:57.620 Yeah, the bizarre thing with Justin Trudeau is whenever he turns on that very serious 0.99

00:47:04.220 voice of his, you know he's going to say something absolutely moronic. 0.75

00:47:09.100 Like, he never turns that on for really important. 0.95

00:47:12.500 Well, I mean, I don't know how often he's actually said anything really important, to

00:47:15.380 be honest, but he always gets very serious when he's going to say something just truly

00:47:19.260 awful and something fundamentally un-Canadian.

00:47:22.100 And I don't know, especially now looking back on that and just how wrong he is about everything

00:47:27.740 he said there and how fundamentally, I mean, the Ingram ruling here in Calgary and the Alberta

00:47:33.540 courts, countless rulings, the legal precedent now is shifting to just highlight how absurdly

00:47:39.320 wrong that man was on this.

00:47:41.200 It's wild, wild to see that.

00:47:44.420 Well, and I got to be honest, one thing that does actually upset me about, you know, the

00:47:47.820 situation we find ourselves in, is the fact that it does seem like there's going to be

00:47:52.720 an election in the fall.

00:47:53.520 At least there is going to be an election that does come eventually.

00:47:57.300 Is Justin Trudeau going to be held accountable for what he did over the last few years?

00:48:01.940 Those who are in his cabinet, are they going to be held accountable for what he did over

00:48:05.500 the last few years, for what they did over the last few years?

00:48:07.980 Or are they going to retire and everyone's going to forget about it?

00:48:10.780 That's the thing that I'm concerned about.

00:48:12.820 That's the worry I have, is that we're going to forget.

00:48:15.360 I mean, you already look around now, you sit down at a restaurant, you don't remember

00:48:19.160 that you may not have been allowed to do that over the last few years.

00:48:23.080 You don't remember the punishment they put you through, because realistically, most people

00:48:27.060 don't carry with them all of that negativity on a daily basis.

00:48:31.260 It's just too much.

00:48:32.440 I mean, there was curfews in Quebec.

00:48:34.640 You think about the insanity that was done to us over the last few years.

00:48:38.000 Of course, people want to forget.

00:48:39.080 But if these people, these politicians, they go without consequence for their actions,

00:48:46.620 which I mean, what was the news recently about the Canadian military, that this was an

00:48:51.140 unconstitutional enforcement of the vaccine mandate?

00:48:53.680 Correct me if I'm wrong there.

00:48:55.400 That's how far we got with this insanity because of them.

00:48:59.140 And they're going to hop off now.

00:49:00.840 They're going to leave.

00:49:01.440 They're going to exit politics while they're sitting on high ground.

00:49:06.300 That's one thing I think is a true shame.

00:49:07.820 Yeah, and I discussed this, the interview that should be out either today or tomorrow

00:49:11.820 with John Carpey and Ava Chipiak, we discussed whether there would be sort of, I mean, for

00:49:21.380 the Ingham ruling particularly, most of the people who were ticketed, harassed, faced jail,

00:49:27.660 faced legal fines, were sometimes bankrupted, trying to pay for legal defenses, forced to

00:49:32.860 crowdfund.

00:49:33.400 Thankfully, the fines helped over 3,000 people with legal defenses.

00:49:37.520 But I mean, there was countless more out there who were in life-altering struggles.

00:49:42.620 And the way that they've set this up, it seems that there may not be consequences for the

00:49:48.500 people who violated these laws.

00:49:50.160 If you or I went out and violated people's fundamental Canadian charter rights, we'd be

00:49:55.580 in jail.

00:49:56.380 No questions asked.

00:49:57.560 But politicians seem to get a free pass.

00:49:59.680 But yeah, John Carpey does weigh in on that on our interview.

00:50:02.480 So check that out.

00:50:03.420 He can speak to it more authoritatively than I.

00:50:06.000 We're going to jump to one last ad break here.

00:50:08.400 And then we're going to try and rip through as many of our remaining stories as we can.

00:50:14.600 No matter what, God will bring us through.

00:50:17.400 And I said, we will not bow down to your gods.

00:50:19.820 For tickets, showtime details, and to see the trailer, please go to savethechristians.com.

00:50:25.240 I just want to encourage folks that we actually are very happy to announce that we have eight

00:50:45.020 more screenings of this incredible documentary.

00:50:47.880 If you haven't seen it yet, come to one of these live events.

00:50:49.980 It is so much fun, obviously made by our very own Kian Simone and Sheila Dunreed.

00:50:55.280 So in British Columbia, we have got, I'm just going to make sure I get these right, on August

00:50:59.820 10th, we are in Whistler.

00:51:01.680 August 12th, we're in Powell River.

00:51:04.440 And then I believe there's one other date there, but at least those two dates.

00:51:08.940 And Tamara Leach is also going to be there as well, signing copies of her book.

00:51:13.580 So you get to check out the film in addition to getting your book signed.

00:51:17.520 They're incredible events.

00:51:18.200 I've done a couple of them in Calgary.

00:51:19.500 It's so much fun.

00:51:20.820 Maybe there aren't as many protests occurring around you.

00:51:23.120 You're going to see lots of those faces that you haven't seen in some time.

00:51:27.200 We also have, without Tamara Leach signings, a series of screenings here in Alberta.

00:51:31.680 We're in Lethbridge on August 23rd, Red Deer August 24th, Edmonton August 25th, Mirror

00:51:37.460 August 26th, Westlock August 27th, and Grand Perry August 28th.

00:51:43.300 ChurchUnderFireMovie.com is the spot to grab tickets to attend one of those events.

00:51:47.260 They're a blast.

00:51:48.100 It's great.

00:51:48.560 Usually there's at least one or two familiar faces from Rebel, maybe even some folks from

00:51:53.200 Stream on location.

00:51:55.580 So do check out those events while you get a chance.

00:51:59.580 Incredible film.

00:52:01.200 It really sort of captured so much of what happened.

00:52:05.100 Same way looking back at that clip of Trudeau highlights just how sort of unhinged he was.

00:52:09.720 This documentary does an incredible job recapturing and sort of documenting for history what happened.

00:52:16.780 Jumping into this next story, a story that there's a lot to say about, but a rally took

00:52:23.420 over Portage in Maine, and they're protesting effectively in Winnipeg for a landfill search

00:52:30.020 for lots of the missing Indigenous women, men and women as well, but particularly there's

00:52:35.720 lots of men, lots of women rather, who are missing.

00:52:39.500 And there are questions about the extent to which police are actually investigating this.

00:52:44.440 Now, I know I believe part of the original hesitancy towards surging landfills, one, there

00:52:50.300 is an immense cost associated.

00:52:52.400 And two, they're not exactly sure the extent of the evidence pointing that this is where

00:52:56.460 these folks are, so, but I mean, on the note of this protest, it's incredibly interesting

00:53:02.900 to see how the media, and I'm very sympathetic to these people, make no mistake, but when

00:53:08.100 truckers were protesting and blocking roads, it was all vilification.

00:53:13.160 A different group with a different agenda, also noble, whether it's standing up for your

00:53:17.380 medical freedoms or calling for legal accountability, and the headline is, it brought me to tears.

00:53:22.460 Look how beautiful this is.

00:53:23.700 There is an absolute glaring double standard there.

00:53:27.540 But the thing that really struck me with this, and it's a bit off topic, I do encourage

00:53:32.480 authorities to investigate this, and I do want to say this is self-evident, and I shouldn't

00:53:36.920 have to, though, but every life is equal, not necessarily in terms of outcomes or in terms

00:53:43.820 of talents and capacities, but it doesn't matter if you're Black, White, First Nations, wherever

00:53:48.220 you come from, if there is a missing person, we shouldn't allocate resources more or less 0.96

00:53:56.820 depending on where they come from.

00:53:58.620 A Canadian is a Canadian, whether they're First Nations or not, so authorities need to 0.55

00:54:02.220 get to the bottom of this.

00:54:03.140 And look, there's violence at record numbers, there's murders, there's addictions, all this

00:54:07.200 stuff in First Nations communities, but they need to get to the bottom of where these women 0.99

00:54:11.040 are.

00:54:11.680 But what immediately jumped to my mind is they're talking about doing this massive undertaking

00:54:16.180 to dig up this landfill and search for people.

00:54:19.520 I have another suggestion as to a place that they could dig in order to find some answers

00:54:24.540 and heal some wounds, and that's in Kamloops.

00:54:28.340 I was going to say, the amount of conversations that I've had with First Nations people who

00:54:38.340 are heartbroken, and they are literally brought to tears just talking about it, some of them

00:54:44.060 have been frankly fed lies that hundreds of millions of First Nations people were killed

00:54:49.800 in a genocide.

00:54:51.120 That's what they've been led to believe by the rhetoric that's out there.

00:54:54.440 They are heartbroken, and they're living within a reality that isn't within a sort of scope

00:55:00.320 that isn't real.

00:55:01.380 They've been fed a load of rhetoric that's extremely troubling.

00:55:05.320 We need to actually get into the ground and find out what happened and unveil this truth.

00:55:09.920 Part of the truth and reconciliation is truth.

00:55:12.340 And while we can be looking for truth in this spot, certainly look through the landscape if

00:55:17.860 it's viable, if evidence points there.

00:55:19.500 But there's another place in Canada where a lot of hurt and ache has been sort of mustered up

00:55:23.880 for First Nations communities, and I think they need to start looking for answers there

00:55:27.240 first.

00:55:28.580 Well, there's a bit of a catch there, right?

00:55:31.560 You know, when you think about the burial grounds that were discussed, it's not exactly like

00:55:38.000 you can go dig those up without causing some issues, let's say, with the community is my

00:55:43.160 understanding.

00:55:43.740 I mean, you don't dig up those burial grounds.

00:55:45.640 That's a very taboo thing to do, which is, it puts everybody in a bit of an odd situation,

00:55:51.000 right?

00:55:51.100 It's like, yeah, we're saying there's 100 bodies under the ground.

00:55:53.360 Are we allowed to dig it up?

00:55:54.220 Nope.

00:55:55.420 So, you know, although, you know, on top of that, though, I do think, and I'm actually,

00:56:00.360 I guess, in a bit of an opposite position to yours, where this situation that's happening

00:56:04.940 now with, they want to go through this site and look for those bodies of the people that

00:56:08.880 were potentially murdered or, you know, have disappeared.

00:56:12.260 I think that actually makes a lot more sense.

00:56:14.220 I mean, for the last few years, we've been seeing there is a very large issue with Native

00:56:18.100 American women being disappeared.

00:56:21.580 And we don't understand the root cause for this.

00:56:24.020 We don't have a true grip on the situation.

00:56:26.740 And, you know, we can dig up the past, but realistically, they got problems today, you

00:56:31.080 know, and, you know, I kind of think about this issue, too, in the, you know, the Black

00:56:34.540 Lives Matter aspect, right?

00:56:35.660 They want reparations, this and that.

00:56:37.540 You go back a few hundred years, everyone was a slave, all right?

00:56:40.020 Like, I'm sorry, but today, there are more slaves than there were back in the day.

00:56:45.540 And we all used to be in that situation.

00:56:48.020 People don't look at the issues that are currently being had.

00:56:51.520 And I think that would actually cause a lot more of a positive impact than trying to dig

00:56:55.600 up the past.

00:56:56.120 Everyone has a past.

00:56:57.500 Everyone has thousands of years of past.

00:57:00.280 Yeah.

00:57:00.560 But the thing is, is digging, digging, literally digging in Kamloops wouldn't be digging up

00:57:06.040 the past.

00:57:06.540 Digging up the past is what the liberal government has been doing to try and stir up emotions

00:57:12.160 and divide people and hurt people.

00:57:14.540 And they've fed into the rhetoric that has people believing that they were, don't get

00:57:18.240 me wrong, I have no problem with the use of the term cultural denocide.

00:57:21.740 The federal government literally planned with residential schools to delete sort of First

00:57:27.280 Nations history.

00:57:28.120 That's what it's in writing.

00:57:29.420 That's what they planned to do.

00:57:30.880 But they've perpetrated a lie, and the federal government has been digging up lies.

00:57:35.120 And my sole intention here, I'm applying the same standard in both instances.

00:57:38.600 There isn't an and or or.

00:57:40.500 If it was discovered that a bunch of, let's say, I don't know, my background's Hungarian,

00:57:46.140 a bunch of Hungarian immigrants were all subject to genocide in 1920, and there's a mass grave

00:57:53.700 there, the government would immediately start digging and looking to investigate what actually

00:57:57.440 happened.

00:57:57.800 And I would suggest that if there was a whole bunch of white women missing, and there was 1.00

00:58:02.480 a suggestion that they were in a landfill, the government would be looking.

00:58:05.940 The problem is this federal government and even provincial governments, to some extent,

00:58:09.960 treat First Nations people differently, and not as well in many cases, as they treat the

00:58:15.040 rest of the population.

00:58:16.120 So I'm not saying one or the other.

00:58:18.020 I'm saying that there are two situations here where, yeah, investigate that.

00:58:22.020 But there's another situation here that is ready and present and is causing a whole lot of

00:58:26.020 hurt, and they're not willing to look at either.

00:58:29.120 Yeah.

00:58:29.720 No, and that's absolutely fair take.

00:58:32.080 Yeah.

00:58:32.520 All right.

00:58:32.980 And another story, virtually unrelated, food influencer who ate all raw vegan diet dies of

00:58:40.700 starvation.

00:58:42.540 Yeah.

00:58:43.240 I'm not a doctor, but I mean, eat a steak.

00:58:45.480 That's my suggestion.

00:58:46.320 And the pictures of this person, and it's whenever you see someone, there's people out

00:58:50.340 there who, through great extreme efforts, can manage to sustain health on a vegetarian

00:58:55.920 diet.

00:58:56.680 But the extent you have to go to, and it's not normal to what we've been through our

00:59:01.260 human existence.

00:59:03.860 We've typically eaten quite a bit of meat.

00:59:05.640 When we don't, it's because, as the old proverb goes, it's usually because you're a

00:59:09.100 bad shot.

00:59:10.560 But yeah, this is not surprising to me.

00:59:12.160 You can usually see, you can watch a vegetarian convert fitness people, maybe for the first

00:59:18.140 couple months, there's some perks, but generally their skin starts to fade, and they start looking

00:59:22.440 a bit tired.

00:59:23.140 This obviously taking it to an extreme, but yeah, not great to starve yourself to death,

00:59:29.840 particularly when you're influencing people.

00:59:32.000 It is funny within society today, though, that you seem to have extremes.

00:59:35.520 It's either people starving themselves to death or being quite a bit overweight, and both of

00:59:39.560 those things are celebrated, being healthy in the middle of that, that's boring.

00:59:43.300 Nobody wants that.

00:59:44.500 You have to be on an extreme these days, it seems, to get by.

00:59:48.260 Any thoughts on that?

00:59:49.320 I know we're running tight on time, so we're probably going to rip through a few here quickly.

00:59:53.020 Well, it's just, it is a shame to see that this person has passed away, but also, what

00:59:57.900 do you expect?

00:59:58.420 I mean, a lot of people, maybe they just don't realize that if you want to go full vegan,

01:00:02.760 that's a science experiment you are doing on yourself.

01:00:05.920 That's not just like, oh yeah, I'm going to eat carrots for the rest of my life, you

01:00:09.480 know, no problem.

01:00:10.240 No, there are repercussions to either eating or not eating a full diet.

01:00:15.540 And clearly, this is one of the problems that arose, is this woman's passing, because she 0.98

01:00:19.240 was lacking certain essential nutrients that she couldn't, you know, fit into the science 0.90

01:00:24.200 experiment that was her diet.

01:00:26.140 And this, not to say that was on purpose, it may have been unknowing, but either way,

01:00:30.120 she's dead, because she decided that it was a good idea not to have certain nutrients 0.78

01:00:35.780 in her life.

01:00:36.780 And I remember a story that happened recently, I don't know if this was last year, but there

01:00:41.300 was a woman in the States who, I believe, one or a couple of her children, I think it

01:00:45.720 was something like that, had passed away, because they were starved to death by their

01:00:50.940 mother, who was also going along these lines of, you know, vegan activism. 0.56

01:00:54.740 Yeah, you kids don't need meat to eat, that's, you know, a societal impression that they've

01:00:59.580 left on you.

01:01:00.660 I mean, the same thing happens with dogs, you know, a dog, a cat, I mean, let's use the

01:01:05.460 dog for the example is they do need those kinds of proteins.

01:01:08.620 Yeah, we have dog food.

01:01:10.040 But if you try and feed a dog lettuce for the rest of its life, it's not going to have

01:01:13.480 a long life.

01:01:15.180 Yeah, they don't have they don't have the stomachs for it to break it down.

01:01:19.400 We're gonna we're gonna hit on a couple articles here really quickly jump in if you feel

01:01:23.180 that you've, you'd like to weigh in, but three that are very often connected one, one you

01:01:29.520 talked about a little bit earlier, though, but so if you want to weigh in on this one,

01:01:32.180 by all means, but Canada has no plans to decrease immigration amid housing crisis, new minister

01:01:36.780 says.

01:01:37.500 So clearly, those big shakeups in Parliament making absolutely no difference.

01:01:41.560 Immigration Minister Mark Miller is expected to announce Canada's annual immigration plan

01:01:44.540 later this year, which provides details on the number and categories of newcomers in

01:01:48.880 this country.

01:01:49.320 As per the current plan, the country aims to invite 465,000 permanent residents, and

01:01:54.340 then 485,000 in 2024, and then 500,000 in 2025.

01:01:57.960 Despite a crisis, their agenda of just just increasing immigration doesn't doesn't seem

01:02:03.820 to be going anywhere.

01:02:07.020 Well, and you know what, they're they're trying to, you know, well, they're not going to reduce

01:02:10.440 the numbers anytime soon, it says, right.

01:02:12.120 But still, it's the same issue as the issue with Ukraine, right?

01:02:16.620 How many billions of dollars have we given them when we've got hordes of homeless drug

01:02:21.440 addicts on the streets that need help?

01:02:23.180 Right.

01:02:23.720 And here we are, we're telling, you know, 500,000 people from around the world to come

01:02:27.800 to Canada every year.

01:02:28.800 And more and more, those people and in their their own, you know, home countries are looking

01:02:33.560 at Canada being like, oh, they're they're selling a lie.

01:02:36.380 They're telling me I can go here and get a nice education and live in this fancy place.

01:02:40.080 And then they get here and they're living in some, you know, single room basement, and

01:02:45.060 they're being provided horrible conditions for living.

01:02:48.000 And I think that's important here.

01:02:49.780 Sure, these guys, you know, our current elected officials might want to increase or continue

01:02:55.060 on the propagation of allowing migrants into the country.

01:02:59.180 But I think more and more, those people who would be migrants are looking at other options

01:03:03.100 around the world because they see Canada is turning into a dumpster fire.

01:03:06.540 Well, I've literally heard stories of like people coming here from the Ukraine, from

01:03:11.460 Ukraine, I should say, rather, and then going back, like going back to a country that is 0.98

01:03:16.300 currently at war, because it's better than the slum they're living in in Toronto. 0.93

01:03:20.900 Imagine if you landed in downtown Winnipeg, and that was your life.

01:03:25.080 That's where you have to live now.

01:03:26.260 I'm sorry, but downtown Winnipeg is a very stabby place, you know, and there's a lot of

01:03:31.760 other places around the world that are pretty good.

01:03:33.300 And you don't have a house.

01:03:34.680 Yeah.

01:03:34.780 Yeah, and in negative 40 conditions.

01:03:36.460 Let's qualify for our Winnipeg friends.

01:03:38.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:03:39.880 Yeah, no, for sure.

01:03:40.880 Yeah.

01:03:42.240 And it feeds into some of these other stories here, like housing is unaffordable.

01:03:46.420 There's a lack of housing.

01:03:47.560 You're bringing people in.

01:03:49.200 Some of the folks who come in are very wealthy and can't afford this stuff, make no mistake.

01:03:53.260 But there's a housing crisis as well here, too.

01:03:55.720 And then you continue to just bring people in en masse where there's nowhere for them to

01:03:59.860 live.

01:04:00.100 Not to mention, and this is our next article here, and we're going to hop through a few really

01:04:03.400 quickly, but a Barry area woman watches her mortgage payments go from $2,850 to $6,200.

01:04:10.220 Now, I don't know what the exact terms are, and I don't know why your terms changed two

01:04:14.420 years after moving.

01:04:15.320 Maybe it was on a variable rate.

01:04:16.580 But I mean, since Justin Trudeau has been in, I believe it's that mortgage payments and

01:04:22.680 rent have doubled just in the time that Justin Trudeau has been in.

01:04:27.480 That's wild.

01:04:28.520 Don't get me wrong.

01:04:29.600 Prices are going up, but inflation is caused almost entirely by the government printing money

01:04:35.220 and by spending irresponsibly.

01:04:36.840 And we're seeing people suffer as a consequence, which transitions into our next story.

01:04:41.740 Not only are prices going up, but people aren't making money anymore.

01:04:45.340 They're approaching this, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy mentality very quickly.

01:04:50.080 Canadian business insolvencies at their highest level since 2014.

01:04:53.980 So not only are houses skyrocketing, but businesses are struggling, shutting down, and not only as a

01:04:59.520 result of COVID-19.

01:05:01.120 Obviously, lots of people lost everything throughout that, but it's getting worse than ever now.

01:05:06.940 People can't afford it and they're not making money.

01:05:09.360 It's being sort of the candles being burnt at both ends.

01:05:12.800 Canadians are struggling.

01:05:13.620 And I think that's why we're seeing this massive shift in the polls.

01:05:17.320 What's wild, though, and this is a rapid transition into our next story, the government

01:05:21.640 is spending so much money, more money is going missing than past governments have spent.

01:05:26.360 Trudeau has accrued more debt than I believe all prime ministers in this country.

01:05:29.520 Prior combined.

01:05:31.640 But our military, in the perspectives of many, and this is a poll on how Canadians see the

01:05:36.660 military, more than half of Canadians, 56% see the Canadian armed forces as old and antiquated.

01:05:42.940 And 75%, I believe it was, said that they believe that government spending should increase to

01:05:47.640 basically provide these folks with what they need.

01:05:50.980 So the government keeps spending, but everything seems to be getting worse.

01:05:55.420 And they're not only not taking care of the veterans, they're not taking care of the

01:05:58.500 current active soldiers and providing them the equipment they need.

01:06:03.100 Yeah, maybe government spending isn't the answer.

01:06:06.180 I think that's the same answer for everything, is government spending isn't the answer.

01:06:11.800 Yeah, that is it in a nutshell.

01:06:15.200 Finally, I think we'll just touch on this one article here.

01:06:18.380 It is from yesterday, but I don't think we had a chance to discuss it.

01:06:21.660 I'm sure folks are aware, but Trump pleads not guilty to federal charges that he tried

01:06:25.320 to overturn the 2020 election.

01:06:28.080 Donald Trump, once again, has pleaded not guilty on Thursday for trying to overturn the

01:06:33.360 results of his 2020 election loss.

01:06:35.220 Answering for the first time the federal charges that accuse him of orchestrating a brazen and

01:06:38.960 ultimately failed attempt to block the peaceful transfer of presidential power.

01:06:43.180 Trump appeared before a magistrate judge in Washington's federal courthouse two days after

01:06:47.060 being indicted on four felony counts by Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith.

01:06:52.560 The charges accuse him of trying to subvert the will of voters and undo his election loss

01:06:56.980 in the days before January 6, 2021, when supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in a violent

01:07:01.500 and bloody clash with law enforcement.

01:07:03.580 You know, I'll pick your brain on this, but the thing that always jumps out at me is like

01:07:08.660 the amount of crazy stuff and questionable content that probably every president in the

01:07:14.040 history of the United States has done, that most people would probably be in pretty illegal

01:07:18.200 heavy fire for, unless Trump gets the Hillary treatment and ultimately nothing comes of this

01:07:24.260 like with the emails and with this other stuff.

01:07:26.700 Does it not seem like there seems to be, and I don't know if it's just the media paying

01:07:29.980 more attention to it, but there seems to be a concerted effort to sort of get or at least

01:07:34.040 discredit Trump?

01:07:36.540 Of course.

01:07:38.140 Absolutely.

01:07:38.960 I mean, if he's going to run for president again, anybody who runs in that position,

01:07:42.900 they're going to do everything they can to try and discredit them.

01:07:45.440 And obviously Trump, I mean, he's a very theatrical guy.

01:07:48.740 He knows how to engage with the audience.

01:07:51.000 And he's done that quite a bit, obviously, over the last few years.

01:07:53.760 And they want to shut that down.

01:07:55.320 I mean, look at Joe Biden, right?

01:07:58.040 I mean, what kind of president is he?

01:07:59.900 What kind of person is he at this point?

01:08:01.540 And I mean no disrespect.

01:08:02.440 Like, honestly, when I was looking at the, back in the day, the debates that were taking

01:08:08.300 place between Biden and Trump, I felt bad for Joe Biden.

01:08:11.480 I still feel bad for him because he's an old man who's dying and who's basic, he's lost, 0.99

01:08:16.900 he's gone.

01:08:17.700 And I actually feel extremely bad for him in this position.

01:08:21.400 I don't feel, you know, bad for him in regards to his actions through his entire life.

01:08:25.180 But as an old man who's clearly, you know, less and less by the day, I think it is a very

01:08:30.560 horrible thing to see him as president.

01:08:32.380 And you put him versus Donald Trump, let's say, as you know, we're talking about him.

01:08:38.120 How could those two even have a conversation at this point?

01:08:42.140 I mean, what would Joe Biden say?

01:08:44.300 He would not be able to keep speed with Trump.

01:08:46.520 So if it's going to be those two, if Trump's going to be running again, then yeah, I'd do

01:08:50.620 everything I could if I was in their shoes to shut him down too.

01:08:53.040 But yeah, I mean, it's don't get me wrong.

01:08:55.820 And everybody knows this. 0.67

01:08:56.640 Trump is brazen.

01:08:57.460 He knows this.

01:08:58.440 He sort of welcomes conflict.

01:09:00.840 Lots of people out there saying that he's sort of, and I don't necessarily agree with

01:09:04.420 this, but thinking that Trump is in his planning and strategy, this will ultimately come back

01:09:10.200 to help him.

01:09:11.320 But yeah, you're dead on with that stuff.

01:09:13.120 I mean, Joe Biden is starting to look a little bit like Weekend at Bernie's, to be entirely

01:09:17.520 honest.

01:09:18.200 It's, he's pretty much being paraded out there.

01:09:21.600 And I don't know what their strategy is.

01:09:23.560 I don't know what their plan is.

01:09:24.420 I know there's been talks that he's going to run again, Joe Biden.

01:09:27.280 But I mean, I don't know what they're going to do.

01:09:29.260 If Trudeau is not willing to come out and have a debate, he's at least got the capacity

01:09:33.140 to stand on his own two feet and put together something resembling sentences.

01:09:36.920 Joe Biden, he can barely get through a speech when there's a prompter there and a team sort

01:09:42.520 of facilitating him.

01:09:43.440 So the next election, if it does get to the point where Trump can actually run and he

01:09:47.940 wins the Republican nomination, if it's him versus Biden, that's going to be something

01:09:52.120 else.

01:09:52.440 If you felt bad about the last debates, well, boy, oh boy, it's not going to be a pretty

01:09:56.580 sight this time around.

01:09:58.120 Sid, that's all our time for today.

01:09:59.820 We went a bit over, but we had a lot of stories to get through.

01:10:02.320 So any final thoughts for the folks before we wrap up?

01:10:06.380 Well, maybe just the one thing is amnesty.

01:10:09.540 I wanted to touch on that before.

01:10:10.960 You know, Daniel Smith talked about amnesty.

01:10:12.220 I know that maybe fell apart a little bit.

01:10:13.760 But we talk about the repercussions in a lot of these businesses that have been obliterated

01:10:18.600 by the COVID lockdowns and the stuff.

01:10:20.720 And we see now where these health restrictions came from, in a sense.

01:10:25.400 Now's the time for amnesty if it's going to happen.

01:10:28.940 We did have one chat come in from Salty Duke.

01:10:31.220 He gave us $5.

01:10:32.360 He said, Indigenous communities claiming mass graves know they will never have to provide

01:10:35.780 evidence because of cultural sensitivities, which is entirely right.

01:10:39.240 We're being manipulated.

01:10:40.320 It's a grift.

01:10:40.760 And, you know, I think for most of the people out there, when you actually talk to not – and

01:10:45.020 there's a lot of really good chiefs in this country who aren't on board with this, make

01:10:48.440 no mistake.

01:10:49.300 There are some chiefs, though, who know by keeping this veil up and not looking at the

01:10:53.780 facts, they can continue to sort of ask the government for things.

01:10:58.300 And this government that tells veterans and other groups that it's too much to ask.

01:11:04.040 Well, First Nations communities on this front, they're willing to dish out and not ask too

01:11:08.240 many questions.

01:11:08.740 Many people have suggested the reason they haven't, Doug, is because it gives them an

01:11:12.780 opportunity and some leverage to negotiate.

01:11:15.380 So definitely, I wouldn't categorize the vast majority of First Nations people as participating

01:11:20.320 in that.

01:11:20.880 But there are certainly some influencers who are high up within the ranks of First Nations

01:11:25.200 communities who seem to be playing games rather than seeking honest truth and reconciliation

01:11:29.620 for their communities.

01:11:30.940 So thank you so much for that chat, Salty Duke.

01:11:34.400 It's been a great show, Sid.

01:11:35.300 Thanks so much for joining me.

01:11:36.360 I want to thank everyone in the studio for doing incredible work making this stream possible.

01:11:47.160 So thank you so very much.
