Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Conservatives go on the attack, Alberta energy boom, 'Harm reduction' failures

00:00:00.000 Hey there, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our daily roundup from Rebel News.

00:00:17.840 Of course, I'm Sid Vizar with Rebel News, Adam Sos joining me, both Albertans on the

00:00:22.200 team.

00:00:22.460 And today we're looking at the opposition conservatives.

00:00:25.160 There's a lot to go around in the news today.

00:00:27.680 But also, I want to remind you that if we're going to be watching these live streams and

00:00:31.780 promoting them, the best way for you to support us is to do that through Rumble.

00:00:35.120 And Adam, maybe you want to join me now and tell me a little bit about Rumble and how's

00:00:38.680 your day going?

00:00:39.880 Oh, it's going great.

00:00:40.820 Yeah, you know, Rumble is awesome.

00:00:41.960 It's incredible.

00:00:42.840 On election night, this is no longer one of our election issues, but I think over 200,

00:00:47.220 I think it's closing on 210,000 people watched our live stream on Rumble.

00:00:51.960 I believe the CEO of Rumble was even on board there.

00:00:55.020 He chipped in with a Rumble rant.

00:00:57.720 It is a platform that is all about free speech.

00:01:00.200 So they're not pushing one agenda.

00:01:02.140 They're just saying, listen, it's what YouTube used to be.

00:01:04.160 It's a platform for you to share your ideas, not fear censorship.

00:01:08.080 Obviously, they've got some limits on that, but they're not trying to push ideologies.

00:01:12.400 They're trying to create an open and honest platform where people can create.

00:01:15.860 So if you're joining us on YouTube, that's completely fine, but be one of the 200,000

00:01:20.460 or so who swapped over are supporting a free speech outlet like Rumble.

00:01:25.060 It's a wonderful platform.

00:01:26.580 It works really good.

00:01:27.760 I even find if you're trying to look back on one of our old videos, if you try and search

00:01:32.260 it, even if I'm writing or linking back to an old story, I can't find it on YouTube.

00:01:36.800 The search, it's definitely being sort of suppressed or shadow ban or whatever you want

00:01:40.760 to call it.

00:01:41.380 Rumble, you can always find it right away.

00:01:42.900 So if there's a topic you're interested in, really strong search engine.

00:01:45.880 So yeah, consider swapping over to Rumble.

00:01:49.400 And I'm doing good.

00:01:50.380 How are you doing?

00:01:51.800 I'm doing all right myself.

00:01:53.060 Thank you very much.

00:01:53.720 Well, and for today's news, we're going to be looking at the opposition conservatives going

00:01:57.940 on the attack recently.

00:02:00.100 And there's also a lot of stuff going on in relation to carbon investments, energy investments.

00:02:06.320 There was some talk earlier about some of the solar energy stuff.

00:02:09.580 We're going to get to all of that today.

00:02:10.740 Adam, is there anything in specific you wanted to highlight before we get into the stories?

00:02:15.200 Yeah, you know what?

00:02:15.920 Let's talk a little bit.

00:02:18.000 We can go into some of these stories.

00:02:19.140 I did want to mention, though, on this Calgary front, for folks who are in the area, there's

00:02:24.400 a really great event coming up.

00:02:26.060 And it's from our friends over at Canadians for Truth.

00:02:28.660 Sarah Palin will actually be in town.

00:02:30.680 So that's pretty cool.

00:02:31.880 It's going to be at the Grey Eagle Event Center for folks who haven't been out to one of

00:02:35.300 these fire and ice shows.

00:02:37.600 It's Theo Fleury.

00:02:39.820 So number 14 for the Flames, Olympian Stanley Cup champion, a real icon.

00:02:44.620 Somebody I grew up sort of absolutely loving.

00:02:46.540 And Jamie Saleh.

00:02:47.360 So they do this sort of, it's almost like a talk show.

00:02:49.420 They have this incredible conversation.

00:02:51.500 They've had Tamara Leach. 1.00

00:02:52.400 They've had some other guests.

00:02:53.360 And it's really, they have conversations that you just would not see at a conventional

00:02:56.660 event.

00:02:57.540 So it's great.

00:02:58.600 It's a good laugh.

00:03:00.040 It's good for everybody, sort of all ages.

00:03:02.120 Incredible event.

00:03:03.180 Given that this one's at a casino, it may not be all ages.

00:03:05.480 We'll double check, though.

00:03:06.360 But tickets available now.

00:03:09.200 Canadiansfortruth.ca.

00:03:10.300 That should be a great event.

00:03:11.600 And if you do decide to show up, well, you're also going to get to meet a bunch of us because

00:03:14.860 I'm going to be there covering this event.

00:03:16.840 And then you're also going to have some of our other Rebels on location checking it out

00:03:20.740 because it's just a really great event.

00:03:23.420 Well, and I saw you at the last one with those two individuals and Tamara Leach.

00:03:28.420 That was great reporting.

00:03:29.280 And it looks like a lot of fun to be at those events.

00:03:31.660 So I do highly recommend it.

00:03:33.820 And it's a bit of a flashback to the like, if you were at all remotely around any of the

00:03:39.440 Freedom Convoy stuff or in Coots, Milk River, Ottawa, whatever, you're going to see a lot

00:03:43.240 of familiar faces.

00:03:44.360 It's a bit of a flashback.

00:03:45.820 So it's something else.

00:03:47.900 Well, our first story of the day, an opinion story, we can pull that up now about the Alberta

00:03:53.040 oil sands.

00:03:53.880 And they won a large deal, a $4.4 billion endorsement from Texas energy giant ConocoPhillips.

00:04:02.840 Adam, what do you make of this story?

00:04:04.160 It must be good news.

00:04:05.800 Yeah.

00:04:06.080 Well, you know, like, obviously, this was in the works prior to Daniel Smith being elected.

00:04:12.720 This would have been in the works.

00:04:13.800 But I don't think the timing is a coincidence that it just happens to drop just after the

00:04:19.860 election.

00:04:20.540 So they were working on this.

00:04:21.840 My suspicion is they probably would have had a way out if the NDP was elected.

00:04:26.180 But it's interesting because ConocoPhillips left when the NDP was last elected.

00:04:30.600 And now we've got this sort of firm re-election mandate for the UCP party.

00:04:36.000 And like Daniel Smith said, Alberta is open for business.

00:04:38.700 So this is all the sort of rhetoric from the NDP and from pundits and even from some of

00:04:45.140 the old guard conservatives who were criticizing Daniel Smith about how, oh, she's going to

00:04:49.780 scare away business.

00:04:51.000 Well, this is just the first of two massive deals a couple of days.

00:04:54.840 She hasn't even formed her cabinet yet.

00:04:56.740 But it's incredible the extent to which just a vote of confidence, knowing that the government

00:05:01.460 is not hostile to business.

00:05:03.120 It's incredible to see how quickly that can confirm and finalize some of these deals.

00:05:08.380 What do you make of it?

00:05:10.040 Well, to say the least, and I certainly think that there's going to be a lot more stories

00:05:14.540 that are coming out like this.

00:05:15.360 And it might not be in the moment this story will come out.

00:05:18.180 And it doesn't directly imply the fact that the UCP won and that stabilized the economic

00:05:24.200 situation these people, the investors would be walking into for the next four years.

00:05:28.080 I think that's a very important thing to note, but it's not going to be highlighted.

00:05:32.160 And we see, again, there's that deal for the oil sands.

00:05:36.080 There's also another deal coming in, which is actually our next headline, a Greek company

00:05:40.700 to spearhead $1.7 billion solar energy product in Alberta.

00:05:45.360 This is a CBC story.

00:05:46.900 Now, Adam, I have conflicting feelings about this one.

00:05:50.680 In one hand, there's this and the other investment, 4.4 plus 1.78 billion.

00:05:56.700 That sounds pretty good for the province.

00:05:58.520 But at the same time, how secure is this kind of investment, do you think, an investment

00:06:03.800 into solar energy?

00:06:05.860 Yeah.

00:06:06.360 Well, you know, solar is getting to, it's not there yet, but it's getting there.

00:06:11.440 And eventually, we probably, like, eventually, it's getting to the point where maybe if the

00:06:16.240 government isn't trying to tax you for the power you pull off, throwing a solar panel on

00:06:19.880 your roof might be okay.

00:06:20.960 It's kind of like a Tesla, where it's like on the brink of affordable and starting to

00:06:26.160 kind of make sense, but not quite.

00:06:27.240 But it's getting there.

00:06:28.700 But I think that this is yet another sort of testimony to Danielle Smith's open to business

00:06:35.500 mentality, where she talked about, and I know for lots of people, it was tough, because

00:06:39.860 I don't agree with her sort of feeding into the net zero rhetoric.

00:06:43.160 But when she does talk about net zero, she talks about selling it.

00:06:48.900 So she's talking about selling carbon offsets, selling carbon removal, bringing in renewable

00:06:53.760 companies that count as a net.

00:06:55.360 So she's never going to do this, I hope, anyways.

00:06:57.640 And based on what she said, she's not going to do this like the Trudeau liberals do, where

00:07:01.020 they punish people, they punish businesses, they tax you.

00:07:04.560 What they're going to do is, yeah, sure, bring in investments.

00:07:06.740 Let's negate some of that carbon impact, which, frankly, I don't believe it or care, the

00:07:11.440 net zero rhetoric.

00:07:12.860 But regardless, if you can make money off of it, if someone wants to buy it, and you

00:07:16.300 are producing energy, there's not much harm in it, I think.

00:07:20.360 And listen, if Alberta were magically, completely renewable in 50 years, and then we could sell

00:07:26.900 our ethical oil overseas to places with human rights violations that have children working

00:07:31.400 in mines, that, you know what I mean?

00:07:33.240 It's never, it should never be about negating our natural resources.

00:07:37.000 But I get people's apprehension, like solar panels.

00:07:40.420 Yuck, that's not what we're all about.

00:07:41.880 But listen, don't say no to $1.7 billion.

00:07:44.040 Don't say no to $4.4 billion.

00:07:45.560 And I think this goes a long way to negating critics of Danielle Smith, who might say, oh,

00:07:51.220 well, all she cares about is oil. 0.70

00:07:52.540 She's going to destroy the environment. 1.00

00:07:54.060 It's like, well, I didn't see massive solar investments of $1.7 billion prior to Danielle

00:07:59.500 Smith, really.

00:08:00.460 Clearly, there's some solar farms, but generally, they're government funded.

00:08:03.100 This is a private company coming in and making a massive investment in solar farms.

00:08:07.000 Even if you're an environmentalist on that front, obviously, most of these people aren't

00:08:11.540 impartial, and they can't objectively be like, oh, Danielle Smith did a good thing. 1.00

00:08:14.920 That's not on the radar for them.

00:08:17.580 But it scores some points.

00:08:19.180 And at least subconsciously, these people have to start thinking like, oh, well, I guess

00:08:23.180 this is a good thing.

00:08:25.460 Well, we're going to have to have a more in-depth conversation about renewable at a

00:08:29.060 later date and the definition of that word.

00:08:30.700 But in a sense, it is good to have a diverse set of assets, and I kind of agree to some

00:08:36.740 of your points there.

00:08:38.180 And it is interesting, though, to see, especially with the changes that are happening in the

00:08:43.100 energy industry right now, Alberta is probably going to be a focal point regardless of what

00:08:48.100 we're investing in simply because of the resources we have.

00:08:51.260 So it is, I think, always good to capitalize on that.

00:08:54.080 Then the one concern I guess I would propose is with the expansion of solar and wind energy

00:09:00.240 farms, how much would that affect our urban and rural Albertans?

00:09:06.340 That's the one question I would have to see moving forward.

00:09:10.400 What do you think?

00:09:11.140 Well, yeah, I mean, I certainly agree.

00:09:14.400 Back to another point, and then I'll sort of carry on.

00:09:17.440 The NDP spent so much time talking about diversifying, but what they meant was getting

00:09:21.860 rid of oil and just doing these other things.

00:09:23.920 So I think opening the opportunities to everything, well, that's great.

00:09:27.100 But listen, really the only sort of environmental options, it's nuclear.

00:09:34.380 Like the amount of birds that die when you have wind turbines is astronomical.

00:09:38.060 It makes Tillings ponds look like a bird swimming pond.

00:09:41.900 You can just walk by the mills and there's birds.

00:09:46.080 Apparently, you can also mess with migratory patterns.

00:09:49.100 There's reports of people having migraines.

00:09:50.780 And I mean, I don't know if these are bonafide, but I've heard repeated reports that migraines,

00:09:56.440 increased cancer risks, things like that associated with these turbines.

00:10:01.040 When you look at a solar farm, you're also talking about completely clear cutting an area

00:10:06.420 and destroying that entire environment.

00:10:09.280 So how environmental is that really?

00:10:12.520 Listen, energy can't magically manifest.

00:10:15.540 Our oil is very ethical.

00:10:17.160 If you're going to dam an area off to make a hydro dam, people will be upset about that.

00:10:22.120 Because of Chernobyl and some of the other nuclear accidents, people are apprehensive about

00:10:27.420 going nuclear.

00:10:28.220 That's probably, especially with Canada, we have so much space, one of the more feasible

00:10:31.220 things.

00:10:31.700 But it seems like no matter what the option is, they don't want to go there.

00:10:34.800 And they ultimately just settle on what the politicians' friends have businesses in, which

00:10:39.160 seems to be solar and wind.

00:10:40.500 So, but yeah, I take the investment.

00:10:45.560 This is going to be happening one way or another.

00:10:48.040 And I think if it's not happening in Alberta, it'll happen somewhere else.

00:10:51.820 And I don't view it as an innate evil, but it's not the solar panels aren't this perfect

00:10:57.000 solution that environmentalists paint them out to be.

00:11:00.120 So yeah, good.

00:11:00.760 Thanks for touching on that.

00:11:02.560 No.

00:11:02.680 Well, and bringing me into my next story, before I touch on it, I just want to say, as long

00:11:07.180 as we don't start investing in tidal energy, like they have in the East Coast.

00:11:12.040 But our next story, a little closer to home, of course, personally, as well, a lot of people

00:11:16.960 have been affected by the wildfires.

00:11:18.860 And we have a story, looting will be punished, warns First Nation chief after wildfire evacuation

00:11:25.440 in Alberta, Hamlet.

00:11:27.360 Adam, I mean, you've probably seen a lot more of this than I have, obviously.

00:11:31.220 I'm more recent to Alberta.

00:11:32.320 What do you make of the situation?

00:11:34.680 Well, you know, I actually love the image people get out there of First Nations communities.

00:11:42.300 I think they're actually far more conservative than folks would think.

00:11:46.740 We've obviously had the opportunity to go out and we did the repair of the church job

00:11:52.020 where we replaced the roof and did some work on a church to help that community.

00:11:55.280 But it's incredible.

00:11:56.340 I want to go back a little bit.

00:11:57.640 When the city was cancelling fireworks, which has been reverted, thanks Dan McLean, but when

00:12:03.460 the city was planning to do that, I called a bunch of the First Nations communities around

00:12:08.000 Calgary and they were all having Canada Day fireworks shows.

00:12:11.800 Now, this, it's incredible to see when you go down, I've had the opportunity through reporting

00:12:17.220 and through some of this work we've done, spent a lot of time on some of the reservations

00:12:20.740 around Calgary and some of the signs they have about like respecting your elders and like

00:12:26.960 saying no to drug culture, which is going to transition into something we're going to talk

00:12:30.420 about later.

00:12:30.860 But they're sort of espousing lots of values that conservatives probably would within society.

00:12:37.760 Now, is it always enacted perfectly?

00:12:39.380 No, but it's really good to see this sort of firm stance against and protecting the community.

00:12:48.380 When we were doing the work on the church, I remember sometimes I'd go to sort of check

00:12:51.820 on something, make sure everything was underway or like a roof supplies had delivered when

00:12:57.180 they were fixing that roof.

00:12:58.500 And it was incredible how fast like the Tsutena police would come because everyone was burning

00:13:03.940 churches across the country and there's a white guy hanging around the church.

00:13:06.620 So the police would be there so quickly to protect and preserve their community.

00:13:10.700 And I think this chief coming out and saying basically you're going to be banished if you

00:13:14.340 loot on our property while we're escaping these fires.

00:13:17.860 That's the lowest of the low.

00:13:19.040 People are escaping their homes, often forced to leave animals behind, suffering.

00:13:23.680 It harkens back to the high river gun grabs during the floods.

00:13:26.640 But to victimize people when they're in the worst possible situation, I love seeing a 0.94

00:13:30.900 chief coming out and saying, you know what?

00:13:32.340 You're out of here.

00:13:33.060 We're not going to tolerate this in the slightest, protecting their communities.

00:13:36.880 A strong sense of pride.

00:13:39.820 Well, and speaking of communities that often you hear about, there's the next story that

00:13:45.780 we have about the 2SLGBTQ plus community.

00:13:50.340 Strong sense of pride, for sure.

00:13:52.780 Yeah, it's getting longer by the day.

00:13:54.140 And this is by Janice Irwin.

00:13:55.740 It's actually a video.

00:13:56.880 I believe we can share that now.

00:13:59.160 And I believe the quote is, for many in Alberta's 2PL community, I'm not going to say it again,

00:14:05.680 it doesn't feel like a very happy pride month.

00:14:08.100 You're hurting.

00:14:09.080 You're worried.

00:14:09.880 But please know this.

00:14:10.980 You're not alone.

00:14:12.000 You matter.

00:14:12.520 We see you, we love you, and we're here for you, and we don't ever stop fighting for you.

00:14:17.560 Let's play that video.

00:14:19.380 Hi, friends.

00:14:20.400 Happy Pride Month.

00:14:21.480 And it is absolutely an honor to be here on Treaty 6 territory with one of our newest elected

00:14:26.840 MLGays, future MLA for Edmonton West Henday, Brooks Arkan Paul.

00:14:34.820 Hello, friends in the 2SLGBTQ plus community.

00:14:38.620 Today, we mark the kickoff of Pride Month.

00:14:41.500 And I'm so fortunate to be joining our wonderful MLGay.

00:14:46.340 I'm your MLGay elect, and we're really looking forward to making sure that representation happens

00:14:51.040 in the legislature.

00:14:52.280 We will hold the government to account, and we will remember that pride has always been

00:14:57.240 a protest.

00:14:58.360 Every single community is going to be represented by our team, and we're going to make sure that

00:15:04.180 we do the best for every single Albertan.

00:15:07.520 Thank you so much to everyone for placing your trust in our team, for continuing to fight

00:15:12.780 for every single Albertan, but especially the 2SLGBTQ plus community.

00:15:18.220 And we know that so many of you are hurting, so many of you have reached out to us, and

00:15:23.220 we just need you to know we're here for you, we see you, you matter, and we love you.

00:15:28.960 And so from Rachel, from Brooks, from our entire Alberta NDP team, happy Pride Month.

00:15:35.240 Adam, what do you got?

00:15:40.720 I was hoping, like I get during a campaign, even you saw during the leadership race, you

00:15:46.160 saw Schultz and Gene and Sonny and Smith like flinging mud at each other, and then like

00:15:52.060 Daniel wins and everyone gets on with their lives, and then they get back to business.

00:15:55.980 I was hoping, I'm the optimist, I know, and I should stop being so optimistic, but I was

00:16:01.080 hoping once the election was over, sure the election's over, but let's move on, and let's

00:16:05.860 get going.

00:16:06.220 It's not, they're still, we saw G.O.T.

00:16:09.080 Gondek, and I think we've got an article about that as well, we can pull it up, but not necessary.

00:16:13.920 G.O.T.

00:16:14.360 Gondek saying, oh, congratulations, but like I've got some concerns about hate.

00:16:18.320 Like, Daniel Smith is a progressive politician.

00:16:23.680 She, like, I don't, I'm very socially conservative, so I don't agree with her on a lot of that.

00:16:28.160 The reason that I'm not entirely upset with her is because she's libertarian.

00:16:31.080 So she wants people to be able to do what they want.

00:16:33.480 So if you're gay, you can go be gay. 0.89

00:16:35.080 If you're ultra conservative, you can go be ultra conservative.

00:16:37.640 She wants people to be left alone.

00:16:39.320 Government shouldn't be mandating every aspect of your life like this.

00:16:43.840 Any suggestion, though, that Daniel Smith is, she's very on board with all this stuff.

00:16:49.100 I remember at an Alberta Prosperity Project event, someone asked her about men, like trans

00:16:54.840 women, men, I don't know, whatever you want to call it, competing in women's sports. 1.00

00:16:57.960 And she was, like, not willing to say that she's against it, which to most people is a

00:17:03.240 no in conservative movements.

00:17:04.920 So she can be about as big a quote unquote ally as you can imagine. 0.94

00:17:08.960 And they'll still just ramp up this rhetoric about how she is a villain. 1.00

00:17:13.680 It's wild to see this because she is not at all.

00:17:17.640 She wants to bring business in. 0.97

00:17:19.040 If it's green business, that's fine.

00:17:20.340 If it's oil business, that's fine.

00:17:21.580 She wants to get people jobs. 1.00

00:17:23.320 And she is an ally to the pride movement in general.

00:17:27.860 Now, maybe not the extreme outliers and the political activism and everything.

00:17:31.480 But personally, I know she's very libertarian and very in favor of all that.

00:17:35.700 So the constant attacks are ridiculous.

00:17:40.060 And the other thing, too, I mean, the whole ML gay thing, whatever, it's fine. 0.64

00:17:44.860 Janice, I disagree with her probably on everything.

00:17:47.960 She is a very nice human being, though.

00:17:50.000 So I have no personal issues with her.

00:17:51.880 But it's just so bizarre to have, like, I'm not like I'm a journa straight.

00:17:56.860 I'm just a journalist.

00:17:58.180 ML gay is gender inclusive.

00:18:00.160 It's sexuality inclusive.

00:18:02.740 It's like this RuPaul sort of punny business.

00:18:06.740 I think it's just silly.

00:18:07.940 I think it's kind of embarrassing.

00:18:08.900 I really don't care, though.

00:18:10.000 Like her people seem to like it.

00:18:11.220 So good for them.

00:18:12.320 But I don't know.

00:18:12.680 What do you think of this whole ML gay thing? 0.74

00:18:15.840 Well, I think it has roots in the hijacking of homosexuals and lesbians and people who are actually being punished in a time for simply who they were. 0.92

00:18:26.880 Now it's been turned into this.

00:18:28.280 You must be proud of everything.

00:18:30.000 And there's all these horrible stories about children that are going into facilities and getting, you know, basically mutilating themselves or having adults convince them that they need to be mutilated in order to live a normal life.

00:18:41.340 I mean, yeah, sure.

00:18:43.140 There's, you know, gay people, lesbians, you know, bisexuals.

00:18:46.280 There's those sort of people.

00:18:47.260 But at the same time, that's not something that you can use as a veil for the mutilation of children.

00:18:55.100 And a lot of people within those communities are saying, look, we're not here for the maps, you know, minor attracted person stuff and things like that.

00:19:03.000 There's a hard line that's being formed between the stuff that's, you know, you could say a little too far and the stuff that, you know, 20, 30 years ago nobody would have considered or looked at or had any problem with.

00:19:13.820 Yeah, it's really interesting.

00:19:16.000 I'm sure probably lots of folks out there.

00:19:17.680 I don't know why I'm doing a plug, but I am.

00:19:19.380 The film Nefarious is incredibly interesting.

00:19:21.780 I saw it the other night.

00:19:22.980 And it's interesting how directly it tackles this.

00:19:25.060 And one of the lines that you almost paraphrased there is like this stuff like 10 years, lots of this stuff.

00:19:30.040 And they're referring to like euthanasia and a number of other things.

00:19:32.180 But lots of this stuff would have landed you in jail 10 years ago.

00:19:35.020 Now you're a bigot if you express any concern whatsoever on those fronts.

00:19:40.060 It is also bizarre, I find, to have so much of your identity be exclusively tied up in your sexuality.

00:19:49.600 I just, like, I'm a straight person, but I don't think I've ever mentioned that on stream.

00:19:54.320 Nor do I have straight tagged next to my name on Twitter.

00:19:59.320 The fact that sexuality has become an entire identity, rather than you're a person who happens to have a sexuality.

00:20:08.660 It's very, like, almost, like, childish and delayed adolescence, where when you're a kid, you, like, sort of identify with something.

00:20:16.260 And you go all out, and that's your whole identity, whether it be, like, sports or something else.

00:20:19.840 But it's bizarre to see some people where it's like their sexuality is the entire crux of that.

00:20:25.760 I don't know.

00:20:26.760 What do you think of that?

00:20:27.380 Yeah, no, I entirely agree.

00:20:30.540 Like, I identify as a journalist.

00:20:32.920 You know, that's because that's my job.

00:20:34.420 That's what I like to do.

00:20:35.420 That's what I want to put my focus on.

00:20:37.100 I don't identify as a, you know, a pansexual furry.

00:20:40.540 That's not in the resume, because that's not going to get me anywhere in life.

00:20:44.040 And that's not something I want to be, either.

00:20:45.740 You know, I guess there's, you know, as we know, there are people out there who would choose that path.

00:20:50.120 But it's for society to have a mass of people, a generation of people believe that they should be indoctrinating themselves into these, you know, sexual livelihoods.

00:21:02.660 It's, I think, inhumane at the end of the day.

00:21:05.120 But with that said, perhaps we should jump to an ad break.

00:21:07.520 Yeah, let's go.

00:21:09.420 We've got an ad coming up now, I believe, about this incredible student journalism conference.

00:21:13.840 Some of our incredible young talent has actually come from this.

00:21:16.260 So if you know someone who's a young, aspiring journalist, this not only is an opportunity to learn a lot, but it often can transition into either an internship or being part of our team in the long term.

00:21:27.940 I know everybody that I've heard from that goes to this event as an absolutely incredible time.

00:21:32.920 And you get to, like, meet with some of our top talent.

00:21:35.240 I think Sheila's going.

00:21:36.720 Avi's going to be there.

00:21:37.580 Dave's going.

00:21:38.120 Like, it's a long time.

00:21:38.980 Andrew Lawton is going.

00:21:40.200 So it's not just Rebel.

00:21:41.280 It's a whole team.

00:21:42.380 But, I mean, if you're at all interested in this, it's a no-brainer to go out to this.

00:21:47.360 So we can roll that ad now.

00:21:48.760 Thank you.

00:21:57.940 We'll be right back.

00:22:27.940 All right.

00:22:37.500 And we're back.

00:22:38.120 You can see the list of names there.

00:22:39.720 It's incredible.

00:22:41.120 Often, lots of people who are winning are, like, most popular journalists.

00:22:44.520 Derek Philbrandt and a massive team are going to be there.

00:22:47.340 So I don't think you can get a better experience.

00:22:49.300 And almost all these people have experienced, like, sort of the extreme on the ground, whether it be at the trucker convoy or overseas, attending protests, whatever it may be.

00:23:00.780 Pretty incredible stuff.

00:23:01.900 So if you know someone starting to think about a career, thinking about maybe doing journalism, well, this is definitely the opportunity, the place to learn something, get some hands-on experience, and maybe eventually work with us one of these days.

00:23:14.420 And next, I should say, we're jumping into a bit of a conservative lineup, Pierre Polyev.

00:23:23.400 I'm going to mispronounce his name.

00:23:24.760 I have yet to get it just right, Pierre Polyev.

00:23:27.340 But our first story from BC.

00:23:30.260 Now, recently, you've probably heard about the guy who was trying to sell meth, heroin, cocaine on the streets.

00:23:37.280 He had, like, a little booth, and they shut him down.

00:23:39.220 The cops shut him down.

00:23:40.620 But now we have this one from Pierre.

00:23:43.260 In 2012, BC overdose deaths were 270, what is it, 2022, and, yeah, pardon me, 2012 was 270 deaths, and 2022 was 2,272.

00:23:59.640 So you could say that's a bit of a spike, Adam.

00:24:02.040 What do you think?

00:24:03.580 Yeah, you know, it's – and these people who advocate for this harm reduction nonsense, it doesn't work.

00:24:09.720 I've had the opportunity, the Alberta model is tackling this in the exact opposite direction.

00:24:14.160 Mike Ellis, Nicholas Milliken, Daniel Smith gave that incredible event.

00:24:18.820 I urge people, if they haven't seen that report, go check it out.

00:24:21.800 But they are damning people to what Mike Ellis referred to as palliative addiction.

00:24:28.460 Like, they're giving 12-year-old kids drugs.

00:24:31.560 And what they'll do is they'll say, oh, well, we've seen a reduction in, like, deaths,

00:24:37.100 and whether it be, like, hep being spread or overdoses or whatever,

00:24:42.060 they've seen a reduction in the percentage of deaths.

00:24:45.020 But what happens is you have way more people doing drugs.

00:24:48.260 And when you look at these facts, over the course of 10 years,

00:24:51.580 BC brought in this sort of harm reduction, safe drug site access stuff.

00:24:55.980 We're talking about going from 270 to 2,272 deaths in 10 years.

00:25:02.300 I absolutely think that this was one of the key issues for many people during the election.

00:25:07.660 And I think it is absolutely monstrous.

00:25:10.200 No one would, to someone they love, damn them to a life of perpetual drug use and suffering.

00:25:17.340 And liberals hate doing the hard thing.

00:25:20.340 But sometimes you have to take people, remove them from an environment,

00:25:23.720 even if at the time, and we talked to lots of people in that video,

00:25:26.800 where at the time they don't want it.

00:25:28.600 But afterwards, they're just overwhelmed with emotion, bawling,

00:25:31.840 because their lives were saved by initiatives that remove people from those environments.

00:25:37.040 This is absolutely heartbreaking to see that many deaths,

00:25:41.600 that things have gotten that much worse.

00:25:43.000 And frankly, these progressive lovey-dovey people who pretend that they care about everything,

00:25:47.800 and they'll fly their rainbow flags, and everything is wonderful.

00:25:51.140 That's all superficial.

00:25:52.660 It's a veneer.

00:25:53.340 Because ultimately what happens is businesses flee the provinces,

00:25:57.440 and people are left in despair, and they're struggling,

00:26:01.140 and then they give them free drugs.

00:26:02.780 This is something out of a dystopian novel.

00:26:05.300 It's almost like a Jonathan Swift-level modest proposal,

00:26:08.440 where we're like, we'll just give opiates to the masses and reduce them to nothing. 0.54

00:26:13.880 It is devastating.

00:26:14.800 It's not in line with the dignity of human persons, whatever your background may be.

00:26:19.340 And we need to stop this maddening experiment.

00:26:21.880 I, for one, am so happy to see Pierre Polyever,

00:26:24.120 as well as some other provinces, nominally Daniel Smith and the Conservatives here in Alberta,

00:26:29.640 tackling this issue so head-on.

00:26:31.720 This isn't an election issue.

00:26:33.420 This is a basic human decency issue.

00:26:36.620 And all the talking points aside, and all this talk of, oh, fear of hate.

00:26:40.860 Well, I can tell you that giving people free drugs has nothing to do with love.

00:26:45.120 But what they're trying to do now, these opportunities to save people's lives, is incredible.

00:26:50.580 I talked to Chief Roy Whitney at that event, and he said that he lost his son,

00:26:54.980 I believe, to suicide.

00:26:56.600 But it was because of a long, treacherous path of drugs and addiction and despair.

00:27:01.700 And he, among many other people, have shared that if they had the opportunity

00:27:05.300 to get an injunction and to stop this, rather than providing free drugs to kids,

00:27:11.200 he could have saved his son's life.

00:27:12.880 And so many people we talked to there, whether they were saved or it was too late

00:27:16.620 and someone in their family lost their lives,

00:27:19.440 the people who experience this firsthand can tell you that we need to move towards

00:27:22.720 rehabilitation, not safe supply.

00:27:25.100 Well, and this is expanding.

00:27:29.520 It's becoming a larger issue in Canada by the day.

00:27:33.160 Even in, well, I know there was the situation where there were, like,

00:27:36.920 crack pipes and stuff that were handed out at a school in BC.

00:27:40.280 And as well, yeah, in Toronto, too.

00:27:43.020 Toronto now handing out branded crack and meth pipe kits with Citi's logo.

00:27:48.080 So, yeah, I don't know how far you can get.

00:27:51.240 And it is a shame in a sense because, well, certainly in more than one sense.

00:27:55.940 But they're solving, the government is attempting to make the problem more easy

00:28:02.040 to deal with for these people that are in these situations.

00:28:05.300 They're not looking to solve the problem of people getting into these situations,

00:28:08.500 I don't think.

00:28:09.700 And they just, at the end of the day, they're facilitating drug addiction.

00:28:15.700 In a sense, drug addicts.

00:28:17.020 They're facilitating these behaviors under that same banner, as we heard before.

00:28:21.000 You know, oh, it's okay.

00:28:21.840 You know, we're all different.

00:28:22.780 We all need acceptance.

00:28:24.140 Well, is that really the right road to take?

00:28:26.180 Now, I don't know if I would advocate for the government to, you know,

00:28:29.080 physically take anybody and put them into certain situations whatsoever.

00:28:33.000 However, I do think that perhaps they could play a role in advocating and promoting

00:28:37.660 friends and family of these individuals to show their support and their advocacy

00:28:42.440 to help get their friends and families out of these tough situations.

00:28:46.900 But it's a shame.

00:28:48.400 It's happening across the country.

00:28:50.700 And so how this would work, there already are interventions like this,

00:28:53.500 say, for a mental health crisis.

00:28:55.500 So you'd actually, it would be like a family member or a police officer

00:28:58.500 or someone who's viewing someone who's basically imminently going to die.

00:29:01.900 And then they would appeal through a quick, it's like a hastened judicial process

00:29:05.840 in order to be able to intercede and help.

00:29:08.100 So it's not just sort of random rounding people up and sticking them in camps to like,

00:29:12.660 though the government would do that with the unvaccinated.

00:29:14.840 But it's an intention to get help for these people from their sort of support groups,

00:29:21.920 their community groups.

00:29:22.960 And the thing that goes hand in hand with this is the sort of rampant crime.

00:29:27.520 We've seen, I forget the statistics exactly,

00:29:29.720 but I think it was like something like someone who gets arrested for a violent crime

00:29:34.720 has an average of like 11 prior arrests for violent crimes.

00:29:38.360 So what you have is people, they're going to jail,

00:29:41.060 they're getting released with like 50 bucks cash bail or no cash bail.

00:29:44.320 And then they're going to one of these free drug sites, getting drugs,

00:29:48.200 freaking out on drugs and going and committing a violent crime.

00:29:50.420 And it just perpetually cycles.

00:29:52.820 Police who see these people over and over,

00:29:54.980 especially if they're minors and they're throwing their lives away,

00:29:57.800 for them to be able to intercede and provide some help and support.

00:30:00.760 The people that I talked to firsthand who have turned their lives around,

00:30:03.260 some of them are now helping with this recovery process.

00:30:06.220 Well, they testify that at the time they were pushing back,

00:30:09.580 but after the fact, they were so grateful for what happened.

00:30:12.880 Another thing I wanted to touch on, and this does,

00:30:15.080 this is again, another Pierre,

00:30:16.480 Pierre Polyebre comment.

00:30:18.800 A 14-year-old is dead because Trudeau floods streets with Dillys, 1.00

00:30:24.180 a drug stronger than heroin.

00:30:26.020 Trudeau gives Dillys to addicts who sell them to children for a dollar.

00:30:29.660 Allen, this madness, invest in treatment and bring loved ones home drug-free.

00:30:33.760 Now that's wild.

00:30:35.460 And I couldn't even imagine that,

00:30:37.600 but I know Mike Ellis, who was a beat cop,

00:30:39.720 he was a police officer as well.

00:30:41.400 He saw firsthand that they could get their hands on supplies

00:30:46.320 and they could actually sell, I'm paraphrasing here,

00:30:49.760 but they could sell the safe drugs to kids

00:30:51.720 because they were quote-unquote safer.

00:30:53.540 So they'd actually be selling the safe drugs into school for more

00:30:57.240 and then buying cheap, bad drugs themselves anyways.

00:31:00.900 So all you see is a net increase in the amount of drugs that are out there.

00:31:05.580 It is absolute madness.

00:31:07.200 And it's human lives.

00:31:09.680 That's the cost.

00:31:10.480 This isn't like, don't get me wrong, we talk about economics,

00:31:13.360 you're talking about people's livelihoods and everything.

00:31:15.440 But this, every day we continue down this madness,

00:31:17.600 you're talking about more and more deaths.

00:31:19.480 And we're talking about increasing from the hundreds to the thousands.

00:31:22.780 Imagine if this was implemented right across the board.

00:31:25.280 Just think, they're handing out Toronto, City of Toronto,

00:31:28.520 was it, branded crack pipes?

00:31:30.640 How insane is that?

00:31:34.080 No, it's really hard to kind of get to grasp with in a sense

00:31:39.960 because it's like, what is happening here?

00:31:42.100 Why would we hand them crack pipes? 0.99

00:31:44.060 I mean, let alone the fact that, I mean, between crack and cocaine,

00:31:47.620 I mean, crack, that's what you're going to, as a city staple,

00:31:51.180 you're going to go with the lower tier option in a sense.

00:31:53.740 But really, at the end of the day, what are they doing to go after the dealers?

00:31:57.400 What are they doing to go after the people who are creating drugs like, well,

00:32:01.200 meth, like fentanyl?

00:32:03.480 And are they doing anything?

00:32:06.080 Is Trudeau doing anything to stop this from either coming into the country

00:32:10.160 or from this being produced in the country?

00:32:13.580 I would love to see so often, like I remember,

00:32:16.400 I think it was one of the Fords,

00:32:19.200 they own, like the Ford family anyways,

00:32:21.540 owned like the sticker company.

00:32:23.520 It's a Toronto staple at this point, isn't it?

00:32:25.780 Yeah, they were making the stickers for all the COVID warning stuff

00:32:31.040 for all the trains, so they gave themselves a contract.

00:32:33.380 I would love to see who's making all these crack pipes

00:32:35.620 and how lucrative the contract is, because it always seems,

00:32:38.580 and I mean, I'm just speculating now,

00:32:40.400 but it always seems like some friend of a politician

00:32:43.540 or someone connected through their little cottage industry meetings

00:32:46.840 suddenly is like, yeah, I could do a million crack pipes for you.

00:32:51.100 Let's make a deal.

00:32:52.180 And then they make this sort of behind closed doors deals.

00:32:55.080 But like, just a little bit more broadly speaking,

00:32:58.980 and then we'll jump to an ad break here though.

00:33:01.500 And I asked Dan McLean this the other day on stream as well,

00:33:04.440 but why do you think it is that this sort of progressive,

00:33:10.360 prevailing, very often sort of WEF-oriented mindset

00:33:15.140 just like hits cities?

00:33:17.700 Like it's like, oh, we're going to ban fireworks.

00:33:20.020 We're going to have crack pipes. 1.00

00:33:21.100 We're going to do pride side.

00:33:22.680 They all do the same thing.

00:33:24.020 Is it monkey see, monkey do is a little bit more insidious than that.

00:33:27.920 You can literally look at if Toronto does something,

00:33:31.260 Calgary and Vancouver will follow, Edmonton will follow.

00:33:34.300 There just seems to be this, I don't know.

00:33:37.100 I don't know what it is.

00:33:37.660 Are they having secret meetings and deciding these absurd things

00:33:40.960 they're going to do?

00:33:41.420 It's hard to say.

00:33:44.740 I think perhaps, you know, it's a lot easier to lose sight of God when you're in a city

00:33:48.740 because you're always surrounded by distractions.

00:33:51.920 And you consider contrast that to, you know, let's say someone who's living on a farm.

00:33:56.080 Well, you have your daily routine.

00:33:57.480 You eat the sun.

00:33:58.420 You know, you see it go across the sky.

00:34:01.000 You know, if you live in a city, you're probably not going to observe that sort of thing as well.

00:34:04.580 And that goes for everything in their surroundings is they're more in tune with the world they actually live in

00:34:10.000 instead of perhaps somebody in a city who might be distracted every day by advertisements on the bus

00:34:15.200 or people honking in traffic.

00:34:17.100 Every single second, there's something to distract.

00:34:20.220 But on the previous note, we were talking about some of the stuff that was being handed out in Toronto.

00:34:24.800 I just want to say rest in peace to the greatest mayor we ever had in Toronto.

00:34:28.100 And with that, perhaps we should go to an advert.

00:34:31.220 Yeah, let's do that.

00:34:33.980 The media said that Canadian truckers were Russian agents controlled by Vladimir Putin.

00:34:40.560 Justin Trudeau called them extremists.

00:34:43.380 The small fringe minority.

00:34:47.100 We are here out of love for our families, our communities.

00:34:51.520 And the government put the country under martial law to stop them.

00:34:56.040 But what's the real story?

00:34:57.400 If you can't see the future in clear outline right now, you're not paying attention.

00:35:01.840 But the truckers in Canada can't.

00:35:04.520 And I want you to know that I'm not afraid.

00:35:06.860 For the first time, the woman at the heart of the trucker convoy speaks out.

00:35:10.340 Hold the line.

00:35:11.320 Tamara Leach, passionate organizer, loving mother and grandmother, proud Métis and proud Albertan,

00:35:17.380 and defiant political prisoner jailed for daring to criticize the government.

00:35:27.400 Tamara Leach, her new book, Hold the Line.

00:35:33.720 My story from the heart of the Freedom Convoy is the inside scoop of what really happened.

00:35:39.440 You've heard from the media and the convoy's critics.

00:35:42.540 Now hear the truth from the woman who inspired the world and made Justin Trudeau blink.

00:35:48.140 Visit theconvoybook.com to order your copy now.

00:35:52.760 I would definitely recommend getting that book.

00:36:00.640 Adam, have you had a chance to read it yet?

00:36:02.620 I ordered it.

00:36:03.740 It's on the way.

00:36:04.940 It's a bit with the election.

00:36:06.860 It was just like chaos, but it's on the way.

00:36:09.240 I'm excited.

00:36:09.980 I meant to order it like right away as soon as it came out.

00:36:12.080 And then Alberta election stuff just hit.

00:36:13.600 It's crazy, but it's in the mail now.

00:36:14.980 So, yeah, incredible.

00:36:16.380 And I did get the chance to go to the, as I mentioned, Canadians for Truth event where Tamara Leach was there when she was sort of talking about it originally.

00:36:23.380 So I got to take a little bit of a peek through it, but I'm looking forward to reading it for sure.

00:36:27.900 Yeah, so, yeah, it's incredible.

00:36:29.760 You know, the thing about her is she didn't, she's not an activist. 0.99

00:36:33.920 She didn't want to do this.

00:36:35.540 It's incredible.

00:36:36.160 If you have maybe, if you're not too sure about Tamara Leach, if you don't know her story, I'm sure probably if you're watching, you've got a pretty good idea.

00:36:42.360 But just to learn how she's so humble and modest and sweet.

00:36:46.760 And whenever she sees somebody, her eyes well up with tears because she's just such a loving person.

00:36:51.740 She was pushed into this role as sort of a hero of the Freedom Convoy.

00:36:58.240 It's not one that she rushed into, but that's what the heroes are really.

00:37:02.440 Someone who takes up the mantle at those difficult times, even a mantle you don't necessarily want in order to stand up for something.

00:37:08.440 So, yeah, incredible.

00:37:09.540 Pick up that book.

00:37:10.420 You know, it was a bestseller.

00:37:12.920 It probably still is.

00:37:14.380 Just to have that at the top of those lists, it sends a message about where Canadians stand on these issues.

00:37:22.100 Well, and it's better to have it and not want to read it than not being able to have it and want to read it.

00:37:26.560 Because, as you know, censorship of all kinds is coming for us.

00:37:29.760 And in our next story, Pablo Rodriguez brings us a story about the fact that Facebook is still refusing to work with Canadians to show how deeply irresponsible and out of touch they are. 0.96

00:37:43.060 Once again, this is a disappointing move from big tech.

00:37:45.640 And Canadians will not be intimidated by these tactics.

00:37:48.420 Adam, what tactics is he talking about here?

00:37:51.720 Yeah, it's so interesting.

00:37:53.980 I mean, I'm sort of of two minds on this because I basically want companies to be free.

00:38:05.180 I don't want them to be subject to the CRTC because it can cause significant problems.

00:38:11.960 You look at Netflix, Paramount, all these other providers.

00:38:15.800 And this isn't Facebook specific now, but just generally speaking.

00:38:19.400 And you get an entirely different perspective than what the rest of the world is seeing.

00:38:30.320 So critical content, information, you're getting a limited version of that.

00:38:35.300 So I'm very much of two minds.

00:38:37.680 But the federal government and the CRTC, so much of what they're doing, it suppresses and controls.

00:38:46.760 And Justin Trudeau and the liberals, they want to be able to control what news gets to the top.

00:38:52.620 Big tech, YouTube, other companies, Facebook, they're doing this already, controlling, stifling, limiting what we're seeing.

00:39:00.780 But I feel like it's just going to get worse.

00:39:03.000 So I don't know what – and you can talk about Facebook specifically, but I think you can also talk about this in terms of all big tech.

00:39:12.820 Well, and just before I say something, I want to add that in that message we put on screen earlier, it says,

00:39:18.560 I'm told Facebook is announcing tomorrow it will block all news for 5% of Canada starting Monday.

00:39:24.580 When Facebook ran this play in Australia, it was a global intimidation playbook.

00:39:29.480 So just that.

00:39:31.060 And then also, yeah, there's Facebook and there's other websites and stuff like that, such as Twitter.

00:39:38.600 Obviously, Elon Musk recently purchased Twitter and has taken a stance advocating towards freedoms and such.

00:39:45.000 And we saw yesterday the Daily Wire tried to publish the What is a Woman documentary produced by them and Matt Walsh in full on Twitter.

00:39:55.840 And they had this weird banner on that tweet basically saying this reach was limited.

00:40:03.560 And I actually saw that tweet yesterday.

00:40:05.120 You couldn't retweet it.

00:40:05.920 You couldn't comment.

00:40:06.680 You couldn't like.

00:40:07.820 And it said point blank that we are censoring this content.

00:40:11.980 You still have the right to say it, but we have the right to tell you – or not to tell you, but we have a right to show it to however many people we deem to show it to.

00:40:18.520 So it's just more of – the language is evolving in the debate for freedom, but the stances are the same.

00:40:25.180 They're still restricting freedom in that sense.

00:40:26.860 Elon Musk was able to, I guess, modify that decision by today.

00:40:32.700 So it is – I believe the label has now been removed.

00:40:35.800 But regardless, these hurdles are still existent within these companies.

00:40:39.520 And he might be running it, but clearly it's not just him alone that's going to be operating and managing Twitter.

00:40:45.640 It's the team.

00:40:46.800 And as his team sound, well, what is his – his replacement is a WEF, a former WEF member or employed in the WEF.

00:40:56.920 So it's – I don't know what to make of it.

00:40:59.980 You know, I guess time will tell.

00:41:01.160 You know, Elon does seem to be saying the right things at the moment.

00:41:03.680 So we'll see.

00:41:05.360 Adam, do you hold much stock in Elon Musk?

00:41:08.480 You know, like he retweeted it and said you have to watch this.

00:41:12.380 And he was like, take note of that.

00:41:13.860 So he definitely is a voice for rejecting the overt control and censorship and the government-mandated orientation.

00:41:24.060 He's a bit of a maverick.

00:41:25.060 So I think the fact that he's willing to say no or take a stand, I get it.

00:41:29.840 But you look at all these organizations, whether it be Target, whether it be Bud Light, whether it be Facebook, right across the board, the massive investment firms that are in this are all on board with this.

00:41:42.680 They're willing to lose money to push these narratives.

00:41:45.300 And at a certain point, I think the dollars speak louder than the principles for some of these people.

00:41:51.960 Elon Musk seems to be right on that threshold.

00:41:53.820 It's almost like good Elon, bad Elon.

00:41:56.020 But the fact that he was willing to retweet that and the person who was basically blocking that stuff was shown the door, that's promising.

00:42:03.500 Listen, we had, I think, 90,000 viewers on our stream on YouTube and 210,000 on Rumble.

00:42:12.040 People need to put their money where their mouth is.

00:42:14.940 They need to put their actions towards that.

00:42:17.320 And if there's an outlet that is more free, is more open, we'll support those things.

00:42:22.160 No one says Twitter gets a monopoly on this.

00:42:25.040 No one says Facebook gets a monopoly on this.

00:42:26.760 And if there is another outlet or another social media app that is not willing to play these games, is willing to be free, well, then so be it.

00:42:33.880 Now, once the government starts interjecting and putting in laws, that makes that very difficult.

00:42:39.640 But I'm sure that the legal teams at some of these major corporations can find a way to say, oh, no, they're just accessing our American site.

00:42:46.940 It's not.

00:42:47.600 But yeah, it's so clearly and obviously oriented towards controlling ideologies.

00:42:55.640 Ideologies like this is not about you.

00:42:58.420 There's horrific content on Twitter that doesn't get censored.

00:43:02.660 Sometimes there'll be overt adult content.

00:43:05.560 When you're searching something utterly innocuous, it'll just pop up.

00:43:08.900 That's not censored.

00:43:10.080 I know before Elon Musk took over, there was a massive problem with child abuse material that they could rather easily remove, but they had opted not to.

00:43:19.200 That's largely been addressed by now, or at least to some extent.

00:43:24.940 They've tackled that problem.

00:43:26.880 But so much of this is down to controlling alternative perspectives.

00:43:31.920 And it is very dystopian.

00:43:33.420 It's like some 1984, like we're going to censor opinions that aren't the approved opinions.

00:43:37.900 We're going to alienate marginalized and make it impossible to find sources. 0.81

00:43:41.600 But yeah, we need outlets that are outlets, whether it be social media, whether it be apps, that just reject that narrative.

00:43:47.480 And then we need people to support those.

00:43:48.740 It's very easy to turn on your TV election night and watch the CBC stream.

00:43:53.620 It might be one more step to go to rumble and hit cast towards your TV.

00:43:57.080 But every one of those actions is a vote, so to speak.

00:44:00.640 So if a platform is not willing to support free speech, don't support them.

00:44:05.080 Well, and on that note, we actually, I believe, have two videos that we can show now on this very topic.

00:44:11.080 And censorship of all kinds, whether it be through social media powerhouses, I guess you call them, or government.

00:44:19.220 I mean, we've seen Justin Trudeau in some of the bills he's passed recently.

00:44:22.320 I mean, not only are they actively trying to silence people, they're actively trying to prevent journalistic entities such as ourselves from publishing content and putting things out there that matter, things that they don't want people to know.

00:44:34.420 And that's the thing is oftentimes they'll say it's censored because X, Y, Z, such as the case for the Matt Walsh documentary on Twitter.

00:44:44.020 They'll censor it because it's harmful or transphobic or whatever.

00:44:47.440 But on the other side of that coin is the fact that it's actually very helpful.

00:44:52.240 It's actually enlightening for people who might be questioning or might be going through this reality where people are inundating them with the idea that they have to transition.

00:45:01.140 So in the same side of the coin where they can say it's harmful, other people can say it's harmful not to show.

00:45:06.940 So it's really a non-argument, but they'll play it anyways, and they'll call it, you know, their way is right, your way is wrong.

00:45:13.400 It's politics.

00:45:14.000 And how many people do you hear who they wish they would have heard the other side of the story?

00:45:19.980 I'm all about informed consent.

00:45:21.900 And what you have is a sort of paternalization where they just they treat people like adults who want to transition, even like children.

00:45:30.000 They conceal evidence from that.

00:45:31.120 You see this in the abortion industry as well.

00:45:32.600 They don't provide them with all the facts.

00:45:34.120 They're not transparent.

00:45:35.220 They're pushing towards something.

00:45:36.700 It has nothing to do with freedom of choice.

00:45:38.440 It has nothing to do with informed consent.

00:45:40.380 It's a pushed agenda, and it's undeniable, really.

00:45:43.520 And it's sad to see it prevailing.

00:45:46.420 Now, again, as we saw, whether it be election night coverage, whatever it may be, people are starting to reject this.

00:45:51.920 They're turning away from it.

00:45:54.080 And like I said, people are speaking with their dollars.

00:45:58.020 Target, Bud Light, all these companies losing millions, billions of dollars when they adopt these radical narratives.

00:46:03.520 Let's, if you don't mind, jump to this clip, though.

00:46:07.080 It's good to see the conservatives sort of growing a pair and tackling some of these issues head on.

00:46:13.700 I get sticking to business and trying to get things going.

00:46:16.780 But it's gotten so extreme that we need conservatives who are willing to actually stand up.

00:46:20.840 So let's play the clip of Pierre talking about big tech and censorship.

00:46:24.600 I mean, Justin Trudeau's total incompetence and his attempt to censor the Internet are now hurting our media outlets.

00:46:34.020 Now he's created a situation where big tech might end up censoring the same way that he does.

00:46:40.180 I don't believe that either big tech or big government should censor what people see and say online.

00:46:46.100 Conservatives are the only party that will protect Canadians against government and big tech censorship and allow everyone to express themselves freely.

00:46:56.920 Yep.

00:46:57.740 That is, I'm sure there was backlash and people were angry, but that is the most self-evident.

00:47:02.780 That's not a contentious opinion.

00:47:04.300 They're going to make it one, but that is not a contentious opinion.

00:47:07.200 And don't get me wrong.

00:47:08.160 Obviously, like illegal content, the government censoring that, abuse material, whatever it may be, sure, wonderful.

00:47:14.060 But that's not what this is about, frankly.

00:47:15.700 They'll allow that stuff to go through, and then they'll censor things that maybe provide a different perspective or an opinion.

00:47:22.180 They'll brand it as hate speech.

00:47:23.780 It's so prevalent and widespread.

00:47:27.380 You know what?

00:47:27.860 Let's jump right into this video.

00:47:30.780 It isn't just us saying this either.

00:47:34.200 There's a Toronto hip-hop podcast, and they're just roasting Justin Trudeau.

00:47:38.460 He's become a caricature.

00:47:39.920 It's very much a facade.

00:47:42.100 And he's just made politics silly.

00:47:44.180 It affects provincial politics with them kicking people out.

00:47:47.960 It's absurd.

00:47:48.680 Let's listen.

00:47:49.280 What is your thoughts on Mr. Trudeau?

00:47:52.260 You're a Trudeau fan or a non-Trudeau fan?

00:47:54.140 Listen, it's not if you are.

00:47:55.740 It's no hate.

00:47:56.280 You know what I'm saying?

00:47:56.900 Listen, listen, listen.

00:47:58.060 Before you come at your spiel.

00:47:59.640 Okay, bud.

00:48:00.600 All right, bud.

00:48:01.320 I could care less about this place right now.

00:48:03.740 You know what I'm saying?

00:48:04.600 We don't have a leader.

00:48:06.060 We have puppets.

00:48:06.860 You are your own leader.

00:48:09.480 You have to follow some of the rules.

00:48:12.120 Yeah, I will follow some of it than to turn around and kick your butt. 0.78

00:48:16.280 You know what I'm saying, dog?

00:48:17.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:17.520 So I'm not a Trudeau fan because I never voted in my life, guys.

00:48:22.000 And that's sad.

00:48:24.740 I'm born here.

00:48:26.680 And that is sad.

00:48:28.440 So Trudeau is not doing his job to me because he ain't never made me feel like he in my household

00:48:36.060 or he's made a difference in my household.

00:48:38.960 So I can't have no opinion on if I'm, thank you for legalizing some marijuana, but in my

00:48:44.820 world, marijuana was already legal.

00:48:46.340 Yeah, that was the one thing that, you know, I guess he got some points for, like nationally

00:48:51.100 legalizing cannabis across the whole country.

00:48:54.840 Yeah.

00:48:55.320 But then, like, when the pandemic hit, fam, like a lot of the stuff that this guy, like,

00:49:00.660 allowed and, like, he went up with, yeah, fam, he really, really turned people's stomach,

00:49:06.840 fam.

00:49:07.040 And you know what?

00:49:07.640 When he did the blackface in college, they've never let that go. 1.00

00:49:13.380 Twice.

00:49:13.820 The internet is a dangerous place.

00:49:16.820 What else?

00:49:17.560 What else?

00:49:17.920 What else?

00:49:18.260 Him being Castro's son.

00:49:20.180 Man, there's just a lot to him, bro.

00:49:22.860 Yeah.

00:49:23.300 And it's all, it's like.

00:49:26.740 He bought in Bill C-11.

00:49:28.440 Yeah.

00:49:28.580 He turned it into, he got it, well, it's the law now.

00:49:30.900 I don't want to say nothing where he wants to come now shut us down, so.

00:49:34.280 I'm just watching.

00:49:35.180 Yeah, I'm just watching what I say, you know?

00:49:37.320 Yo, he was on Brandon Golden as a show, so, you know, he's tapped in a little bit to

00:49:40.300 the culture.

00:49:40.740 Well, you already know why.

00:49:42.780 What?

00:49:43.060 Because he wants to get our votes.

00:49:45.560 He needs the approval rating of all of us, fam.

00:49:48.480 I hear you, but.

00:49:50.520 You know what I'm saying?

00:49:50.980 And listen, I know, gang, this is not like no hip-hop.

00:49:54.580 Listen, fam.

00:49:55.040 This is all hip-hop.

00:49:56.400 This man.

00:49:56.860 He wants to shut down hip-hop.

00:49:59.000 Exactly.

00:50:00.080 Like, the fact that Bill C-11 is a thing.

00:50:05.160 Yeah.

00:50:05.800 Amen to all that.

00:50:06.880 You know, respects Toronto.

00:50:08.260 That's, you know, good, good, good words.

00:50:10.540 It's all around, that entire spiel was great.

00:50:13.480 And it's true, because, I mean, how many years has Trudeau been in office now?

00:50:16.960 And how much better is the country?

00:50:18.800 It's not.

00:50:19.320 It's not better.

00:50:20.540 And, you know, you talk about COVID, right?

00:50:22.740 I mean, Trudeau's at a point now where he's pissing off, you know, the Toronto hip-hop scene

00:50:26.660 and the Hutterites in the Bible Belt, right?

00:50:29.280 Like, they were actually, Hutterites aren't allowed to protest, right? 1.00

00:50:33.120 And they were so dismayed with the situation that COVID brought that they were actually

00:50:37.680 out there demonstrating during the Freedom Convoy and stuff.

00:50:41.460 It's against the religion. 0.99

00:50:43.100 That's how strongly Trudeau was messing up.

00:50:45.860 So, across the board, everybody's saying, you know, well, look, I'm done with Trudeau.

00:50:50.880 Enough scandals, you know, enough not helping people, enough fake smiles, enough blackface. 1.00

00:50:55.500 It's time for a new leader.

00:50:57.880 And the fact of the matter is, it's time for a leader, like that guy says, because Trudeau

00:51:01.360 isn't a leader.

00:51:02.220 And there was one, you know, correction, I would say, in that commentary was the fact

00:51:05.240 that Trudeau's trying to get all of our votes.

00:51:06.660 No, he isn't.

00:51:07.840 Trudeau's not trying to get all of our votes.

00:51:09.440 Is that why he was criticizing the unvaccinated, basically calling them swine, right?

00:51:14.560 He wants the votes that will maintain his position in power.

00:51:18.460 Everybody else, you know, sayonara.

00:51:21.080 See you later.

00:51:22.080 So, Adam, what's your take on that?

00:51:23.720 Yeah, you know, I mean, the whole, it goes back to what we talked about earlier.

00:51:28.500 The whole, like, inclusive left, it's not there.

00:51:31.080 We've seen it firsthand.

00:51:32.580 These people who are so lovey-dovey and tolerant, well, they don't allow us into events.

00:51:37.140 They'll say, I know, right, Rachel Notley said, oh, we, if we would have won, we would

00:51:41.200 work to include everybody.

00:51:43.160 That's not what they do at all.

00:51:44.420 They exclude, exclude, exclude.

00:51:46.180 And it's good to see different communities starting to realize that.

00:51:51.240 When you have, like you said, and you hit the nail on the head there, Hunter Wrights and

00:51:55.020 the Toronto hip-hop scene rallying, maybe we'll see a feature track or something.

00:51:59.520 But when you see those communities rallying together in opposition, basically, we're at

00:52:03.780 the point now where you're looking at Eastern Canadians who will just always vote Trudeau

00:52:08.620 no matter what happens, even if the dude was caught killing a puppy, that's who's still

00:52:12.860 supporting Justin Trudeau.

00:52:15.940 Let's go to one more ad break now, and then we've got a couple stories to hit up after

00:52:20.280 that, and then we'll do some chats if we have any and go from there.

00:52:23.780 Living with spike protein in a post-pandemic world is something we all have to grapple with,

00:52:28.120 whether you've had the virus, you've been vaccinated yourself, or if you're around those who were.

00:52:32.940 The Wellness Company's Spike Support Formula is a daily supplement that can help you feel

00:52:37.700 your best, and then stay that way.

00:53:02.020 It's time to put your wellness back in the driver's seat.

00:53:07.700 Adam, before we get to our next story, what do you make of that advertisement?

00:53:11.520 I'm really curious.

00:53:14.060 You know, it's really interesting.

00:53:15.260 I've had the opportunity to speak to quite a few people, even whether it be naturopaths

00:53:21.680 or people with sort of alternative perspectives.

00:53:23.720 I myself had some sort of respiratory issues after that, and there was a long COVID treatment

00:53:29.960 center, and they were doing all this like sort of heavy drug use stuff, and it really, it

00:53:34.760 was not helping at all.

00:53:36.540 And I actually had the opportunity to go through like a naturopath and try, I'm not going to

00:53:39.960 advise it because I'm not a doctor, but it was interesting.

00:53:42.320 After nothing working, some of these alternative treatments, and I've not tried this product

00:53:49.100 specifically, so I can't speak to it, but I know people who have struggled, struggled,

00:53:52.600 struggled, and then they try one of these sort of alternative treatments, and it really

00:53:56.360 does make a difference for them.

00:53:57.740 So I've seen it help.

00:53:58.680 It's helped me personally.

00:54:00.160 So yeah, some people will sort of brand this as sort of out there or whatever, but then

00:54:05.120 when you talk to people and they try it firsthand, I mean, it affects their life in a very positive

00:54:10.240 way and changes it.

00:54:11.360 And very often, these are more natural options than what they would prescribe.

00:54:14.740 Some people are taking inhaled steroids forever instead of taking a natural alternative.

00:54:20.900 So it's great to see a company like this that is, again, strong medical background, evidence-based,

00:54:27.480 but willing to tackle some of these issues when the colleges of physicians and so many

00:54:31.760 of these government agencies would brand it as not real medicine.

00:54:36.960 Well, the fact is it very often works, and they're not married to an ideology that's being

00:54:42.300 pushed by the government that is at times anti-scientific.

00:54:45.700 They're able to look at what really works and support and help people because people

00:54:49.060 were adversely affected, and it's great to see that there's an option out there for

00:54:52.760 people to get held.

00:54:54.340 Well, to say the least, I don't think it's the government's job in any way, shape, or form

00:54:59.080 to be telling citizens how they must treat themselves.

00:55:02.520 And I think that's obviously been a point of contention over the last few years.

00:55:05.560 So it is nice to see that there are alternatives, and there are people who are able to sustain

00:55:11.320 alternatives to what the government is touting in the pharmaceutical front, especially considering

00:55:16.540 some of the heavy players in the pharmaceutical industry.

00:55:19.520 And speaking of that, in a sense, I should say, our next article, it's some Ottawa parents

00:55:26.820 in Ottawa were dealing with some pride activities or had a point of contest with regards to some

00:55:32.260 pride activities.

00:55:32.820 And I'll read the headline for you.

00:55:35.460 Some Ottawa parents keep kids home from school due to pride activities, OCDSB says.

00:55:41.880 And I think that's very interesting.

00:55:44.100 And I know there have been cases, not necessarily in a school, but in a small town or a couple

00:55:50.060 small towns, I think, in Ontario, where the municipal bodies had decided that they weren't

00:55:56.100 going to waive or have the pride flags or any non-government flags waived on government

00:56:03.120 property.

00:56:04.160 So I don't know.

00:56:05.180 Do you think something like that is called for in this situation?

00:56:08.200 Yeah.

00:56:08.380 You know, I know the York Catholic School Board voted against this.

00:56:11.660 And Kathleen Wynne, former premier, was saying, oh, this is like callous and brutal and stuff.

00:56:16.040 I tweeted and said, listen, you don't get to talk about my faith.

00:56:19.480 Like, it's so ignorant and bigoted.

00:56:22.480 That is not what I believe.

00:56:24.240 It's not what Catholics believe. 0.65

00:56:25.780 If you want to believe it, it's fine.

00:56:27.640 Not putting up a rainbow flag or a pride flag or whatever other type of flag they want. 0.80

00:56:32.100 If it's not in line with my beliefs, it's fine.

00:56:34.540 If you try to force me to or pressure me to, you're a bigot.

00:56:38.140 Because I have my Catholic faith.

00:56:39.700 I don't say you cannot put a flag up on your property.

00:56:42.100 If there's a camp or a school that prioritizes that and they want to do that good for them,

00:56:47.100 I don't think it should be on government buildings, obviously, because you don't see,

00:56:50.600 I don't demand that they fly a Vatican flag for my faith.

00:56:53.740 So I think that it should just be government flags, not ideological flags.

00:56:59.880 Now, if there's some places they have a flag where they'll do like cancer awareness things

00:57:05.080 and they've got a special flag for that.

00:57:06.600 If they want to occasionally fly a flag on one of those poles, you know what?

00:57:09.800 So be it good for them.

00:57:10.700 But the idea of bigotting, bigotedly pressuring a school, yeah, there's the tweet, you can

00:57:16.780 see it for yourself, and saying you're like a monster if you don't bend the knee and bow

00:57:22.620 and kowtow to all of this.

00:57:24.300 Well, listen, those rights, the right to believe and have a faith and adhere to those values,

00:57:30.360 they're long enshrined in our charter.

00:57:34.080 This is Catholics, Christians, whatever it may be, adhering to and upholding their faith.

00:57:40.700 The whole LGBTQSA, whatever they want to call it, I know there's a two missing in there

00:57:45.900 somewhere.

00:57:46.740 They want to be so monolithic.

00:57:49.040 And I don't care who you like or what your background is.

00:57:51.940 I'll have a beer with you just the same.

00:57:53.660 I'm not angry at anybody.

00:57:55.860 But don't come and say I have to fly a flag on my house to support something that you

00:58:00.260 believe in that I don't necessarily believe in.

00:58:02.360 That's wrong.

00:58:03.000 And that's not how society is agreeable.

00:58:06.740 It's basically like the inversion of the Spanish Inquisition.

00:58:09.900 Instead of being criticized and tortured and maligned for not being Christian enough, let's

00:58:15.420 say you're not espousing the exact values that your king or lord at any particular moment

00:58:20.940 is espousing.

00:58:22.560 Now it's if you don't adhere to the LGBTQ narrative, even some of the radical elements, even if you

00:58:28.620 ask questions, even if you're concerned about child mutilation.

00:58:32.580 Well, any of those things, you're then subject to the LGBTQ Inquisition. 0.98

00:58:36.920 And you're going to be targeted and attacked for too long, Christians, Catholics, other

00:58:42.260 groups, and it tends to be Christians and Catholics.

00:58:43.880 You don't see them very often going off on folks of different faiths.

00:58:49.340 It tends to be Christians who are targeted.

00:58:51.320 But to see them standing up and saying, no, enough is enough.

00:58:54.180 We're going to adhere to our principles.

00:58:56.080 It's great.

00:58:56.580 I hope it starts a trend.

00:58:59.040 We've seen with some politicians, Pierre Polyev, Scott Moe, Daniel Smith, and now some of

00:59:05.300 these schools, even a bishop in the United States with the whole Our Ladies of Perpetual 0.99

00:59:10.360 Depravity or whatever it was, there's like a drag outfit that mocks Catholic religious 1.00

00:59:15.500 orders.

00:59:16.260 The bishop is like, this is blasphemous.

00:59:18.180 We have to take those strong stances and say, listen, you want respect.

00:59:21.340 You have to give it out.

00:59:22.540 You can't just demand it.

00:59:23.540 You have to dish it out as well.

00:59:25.980 Well, Adam, maybe you can champion this.

00:59:28.160 And I saw on Twitter recently, someone had made mention of this as well, where what is the

00:59:33.900 original, I guess you call it the Abrahamic meaning behind the rainbow?

00:59:37.880 And I think now there have been so many transitions to the new pride flag and the newer pride flag

00:59:43.420 and the more inclusive pride flag that it is actually quite separated now from the original

00:59:48.280 pride flag that was used.

00:59:49.780 So maybe it's time to capitalize on that.

00:59:52.480 Get that old original pride flag and just remind people about the original meaning of 0.92

00:59:56.580 the rainbow.

00:59:57.720 Yeah, I know people have been sharing that.

00:59:59.260 And it's a commitment after the flood that there would not be another flood again.

01:00:02.600 Um, it's really interesting when, when you actually do some research on the origins of

01:00:06.980 the pride logo, there's sort of the rainbow yellow brick road musical connection.

01:00:10.900 That's often what is cited, um, as, as the origin of that logo as part of the pride community,

01:00:15.400 obviously the array of colors, a diverse community, all that sort of stuff.

01:00:19.240 Um, but pretty early on, you can also see that there's that some of the folks involved in

01:00:23.960 that, um, well, they were referring to that intentionally.

01:00:26.700 They were, uh, sort of trying to flip that and saying, listen, you, you, you said there's

01:00:30.840 not going to be another flood.

01:00:31.580 We can do whatever we want.

01:00:32.720 So I, there's, I've seen two sort of origin stories on that.

01:00:36.300 I think there's probably an element of truth to a little bit of both of those, but I, there

01:00:39.960 are people reclaiming, uh, the flag, reclaiming the, the reclaiming the rainbow rather.

01:00:45.220 Um, but it's so wild just to see an entire month allocated to this a whole month with the

01:00:50.780 rainbow, absolutely everywhere.

01:00:52.180 If you don't fly it, the corporate logos all switching over.

01:00:55.700 Uh, it it's wild to see it as the biggest like zeitgeist spirit of the age thing.

01:01:00.820 And it's utterly without substance.

01:01:02.400 All these organizations on their Chinese and Saudi websites don't do it.

01:01:05.920 They just do it where it's trendy and popular and where, where the people won't sort of push

01:01:09.880 back or reject it.

01:01:11.100 So yeah, it's something else, uh, something else.

01:01:13.780 Did you want to get to the last two?

01:01:15.720 Yeah, I'll just jump to the next one.

01:01:17.040 I just wanted to say, uh, it is kind of funny in a sense that, you know, around the world,

01:01:21.380 if you were to lay someone's flag on the ground and step on it, that would be considered,

01:01:26.640 you know, uh, provocation.

01:01:28.380 You would be stepping on it against the person whose flag that was.

01:01:31.960 And here we paint our roads and sidewalks with the pride flag, uh, and we walk all over 0.75

01:01:36.660 it.

01:01:36.840 So it's kind of ironic, you know, maybe they're trying to take a stance toward pride and,

01:01:40.980 you know, advocacy in that front.

01:01:43.180 Uh, whereas at the same time, they're also desecrating their own movement.

01:01:46.320 So it's kind of the cycle you would expect.

01:01:48.620 On that note, it's wild.

01:01:50.280 Like we've seen dozens of churches vandalized and burnt down and no one seems to care.

01:01:54.940 Uh, and then you see a burnout.

01:01:56.860 Someone does a burnout on like a crosswalk and it's national news.

01:02:00.160 And Justin Trudeau basically visits like it's, it's wild.

01:02:03.520 The, the, the standards, um, it's, it's like the old, like ask who you can't criticize if

01:02:07.980 you want to know who's truly in control.

01:02:09.320 Well, who are we not allowed to criticize?

01:02:11.180 Yeah, it's wild.

01:02:11.920 Let's get to these two last, uh, video clips and then we'll call it.

01:02:14.880 I know we're a bit over time here, folks.

01:02:16.200 Um, so yeah, we can run that, uh, Leslin, Dr.

01:02:18.700 Leslin Lewis, uh, video.

01:02:24.080 And just as we're pulling it up, it's on the carbon tax.

01:02:26.820 Yeah.

01:02:27.300 It's, it's the liberals planning another carbon tax height.

01:02:31.240 Now this brings the carbon tax up to like 61 cents a liter on fuel, even though we've

01:02:36.720 not seen a reduction in temperature and there's been no sort of positive emissions

01:02:40.500 reduction from the first one.

01:02:42.120 Well, this time it's going to be different.

01:02:44.560 Go ahead.

01:02:46.060 Mr. Speaker, many families, especially those who live in rural communities have to drive

01:02:51.820 out of necessity.

01:02:53.280 They drive to school, to work, to medical appointments, to social activities.

01:02:58.500 Families are already struggling with higher cost of living expenses.

01:03:02.220 Now this liberal government wants to add two more carbon taxes on financially stressed Canadians.

01:03:10.160 The liberal carbon tax one will add 41 cents a liter on gas.

01:03:15.460 How painful does life have to get before this prime minister will finally cancel the carbon tax?

01:03:22.580 The Honourable Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment.

01:03:26.900 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

01:03:28.120 And the Conservatives never want to talk about the costs of climate change.

01:03:31.480 The Parliamentary Budget Officer reported that there was a $20 billion impact to the Canadian economy in 2021, Mr. Speaker.

01:03:40.300 600 fires are burning from coast to coast to coast, Mr. Speaker.

01:03:45.160 They're devastating our communities.

01:03:47.060 They're threatening lives and livelihoods.

01:03:48.940 When are the Conservatives going to get serious about climate change and stop the denial, Mr. Speaker?

01:03:54.680 The Honourable Member for Haldeman Norfolk.

01:03:57.260 Mr. Speaker, I'll tell you about the cost of this carbon tax.

01:04:01.380 It costs lower-income Canadians the most.

01:04:04.840 It is an unfair tax.

01:04:06.500 Carbon tax, too, comes at a time when many Canadians are struggling just to feed themselves.

01:04:11.660 Now, every time a Canadian fills up their car, they will be paying an additional tax on the GST and the HST.

01:04:20.300 This prime minister is literally putting a carbon tax on a tax.

01:04:25.520 When will this prime minister take his boot off the neck of Canadians and finally cancel carbon tax one and two?

01:04:32.280 The Honourable Parliamentary Secretary.

01:04:37.020 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

01:04:38.700 And the Conservatives have no credibility when it comes to affordability, Mr. Speaker.

01:04:42.640 Every time we put an affordability measure on the table, dental, rental, the Canada Child Benefit, what do they do?

01:04:48.460 They vote against it.

01:04:49.400 And the climate rebate, Mr. Speaker, is an affordability measure.

01:04:52.980 It's going to help families be better off.

01:04:55.320 But you know what's not going to leave families better off, Mr. Speaker?

01:04:58.200 It's investing in cryptocurrency, Mr. Speaker.

01:05:01.280 And, Mr. Speaker, the leader of the opposition hasn't walked back his comments.

01:05:06.260 He hasn't apologized, Mr. Speaker.

01:05:08.180 And that's because he has no plan for the environment, no plan for the economy, and certainly no plan for affordability.

01:05:15.280 I think if you actually believe that, like, that not doing a carbon tax has not helped the environment in any way, shape or form.

01:05:23.680 It's a wealth redistribution scheme where the government ends up pocketing more money and they give it to their friends.

01:05:28.700 It doesn't help the environment.

01:05:30.520 It's literally insane tinfoil nonsense.

01:05:33.360 And I don't know how that guy says it with a straight face.

01:05:35.400 He cannot believe it, that it costs $20 billion a year and it would if we weren't implementing this carbon tax.

01:05:40.700 Furthermore, it is insane to blame a sort of charitable temperature increase, like not charitable, for the fires that happen and have been happening in summers forever.

01:05:54.320 It's wild to see.

01:05:56.660 You're picking a time where there happens to be a little bit more fires than usual to score political points.

01:06:01.940 I just think that's so repugnant.

01:06:03.940 And people are suffering.

01:06:05.500 People are struggling.

01:06:06.780 This is the opposite of leadership.

01:06:08.620 And it's dead on there, the boot on the neck.

01:06:11.020 They really don't care about your average Joes. 1.00

01:06:12.960 They don't care about people.

01:06:13.960 They just care about pushing their narratives.

01:06:16.540 Help the environment.

01:06:17.420 Do good things for the environment.

01:06:18.780 A carbon tax doesn't do it at all, period.

01:06:22.100 Yeah, but Adam, if you disagree with me, we're going to lose $50 billion.

01:06:25.900 How could you disagree with that?

01:06:27.440 You know, you're wrong.

01:06:29.040 Yeah, true.

01:06:30.040 That's what he said.

01:06:31.400 That's all he said at the end of the day.

01:06:33.280 And you talk about the wildfires.

01:06:34.560 Like, there's actual plant life and trees that need the heat of wildfires in order to seed, to produce their ancestral, you know, lineage in the plant sense.

01:06:46.160 If you have zero wildfires whatsoever, then you're going to have certain trees and certain plants that go extinct.

01:06:52.560 And not only that, but control burns are actually a large, like, a very common practice.

01:06:58.440 And that, you know, in Banff, we saw one incident where there was some kind of, you know, a gender-focused training session where they had a bunch of, you know, diversity protocols.

01:07:09.220 And that wildfire in Banff was started because they were trying to do control fires.

01:07:12.820 But control fires are generally a common practice every year that has to be done to mitigate the effects of larger wildfires or wildfires that are going to hit certain areas.

01:07:23.340 And to say, you know, oh, wildfire bad.

01:07:25.580 Oh, hail bad, right?

01:07:27.080 Oh, there's going to be a hurricane.

01:07:28.700 Oh, every single day the weather changes.

01:07:32.280 And every single day, so long as it changes, they're going to say that the change is bad.

01:07:36.120 And it's a cycle for them that they can just feed off of forever because when it's too hot, they can, you know, say it's global warming.

01:07:44.080 When it's too cold, they can say it's global warming.

01:07:46.240 I mean, maybe they have to, you know, do those 20 years apart so people don't catch on too quick.

01:07:50.140 But at the end of the day, they just keep rinsing and recycling the same arguments.

01:07:53.940 10 years to save, 20 years, 2030, 2055.

01:07:56.900 It's been like that since the 80s.

01:07:58.840 New York is still...

01:08:00.920 George Washington Sr. prompted this whole global warming terminology.

01:08:04.820 And they've just been cycling it as a key election thing.

01:08:09.220 And it's because for most people, so much of this is just superficial language.

01:08:13.520 Yes, help the environment.

01:08:14.520 The money helps the environment.

01:08:15.740 People are like, good, good.

01:08:16.540 I'm willing to help the environment.

01:08:18.140 The critical thought is no longer there.

01:08:20.240 So we do our best to elucidate people.

01:08:22.460 I really quickly do want to touch on, and this is just another symptom of the entitlement.

01:08:28.940 Trudeau and the liberal government do not work for the people.

01:08:31.700 It's clear that people do not want more taxes, but they just insist on it.

01:08:35.620 They're all ideologically driven.

01:08:37.460 And then this next story, and it's Andrew Scheer, this video.

01:08:41.240 Justin Trudeau's hand-picked rapporteur says that he works for the government, not parliament, and not for Canadians.

01:08:46.780 Well, sorry to break it to you, and I know this isn't the case under Justin Trudeau,

01:08:50.720 but the government is supposed to work for the people.

01:08:52.940 And when you're hired by the government to investigate something, you, by extension, are working for the people.

01:08:58.120 Let's jump to this clip of Andrew Scheer.

01:09:01.000 Mr. Speaker, in response to yesterday's vote where MPs representing a clear majority of Canadians voted for him to step aside,

01:09:07.780 rapporteur David Johnston said he isn't going anywhere.

01:09:10.800 In fact, he said he doesn't work for parliament or Canadians.

01:09:13.420 He said he works for the government.

01:09:15.160 That's the problem, Mr. Speaker.

01:09:16.920 He works for the same liberal government that benefited from Beijing's election interference.

01:09:21.020 And he personally serves the prime minister who chose to do nothing while Chinese-Canadians were bullied into voting for his liberal party.

01:09:27.900 Nobody is fooled by this sham of a process.

01:09:30.740 So when will the prime minister fire his ski buddy and call a public inquiry?

01:09:34.780 The honourable minister for emergency preparedness.

01:09:39.320 I'm reminded once again that it's not only unfair but deeply offensive.

01:09:42.780 To listen to the member opposite question, Mr. Johnson's allegiance to this country.

01:09:47.900 His 50-year career in public service has made it crystal clear to everyone that his loyalty is to Canada.

01:09:54.080 And, Mr. Speaker, as I also said, and as I quote former Prime Minister Harper,

01:09:58.800 Mr. Johnson represents hard work, dedication, public service, and humility.

01:10:03.920 Mr. Speaker, Canada is blessed to have a man so dedicated to public service, persevering through this.

01:10:08.700 The member for Regina Capel is cursed by a prime minister who tarnished that man's reputation by involving him in this scandal.

01:10:17.460 The prime minister can't be the one to decide how to investigate this scandal because he benefited from it.

01:10:22.540 And David Johnson can't decide either because he's a family friend and a long-time member of the Trudeau Foundation.

01:10:27.960 And Frank Iacobucci can't be the one to sign off on David Johnson's role because he's part of the Trudeau Foundation as well.

01:10:35.480 Now, conflict of interest, conflict of interest, conflict of interest.

01:10:38.940 Why is it that whenever the best interests of Canadians conflict with the political interests of the prime minister,

01:10:45.500 the prime minister always chooses himself?

01:10:51.240 The Honourable Minister for Emergency Preparedness.

01:10:55.300 Mr. Speaker, protecting Canada from nefarious hostile activities of foreign state actors like China is a priority for our government.

01:11:01.220 We have taken significant action to protect the integrity of Canadian institutions and, in particular, our democracy.

01:11:07.040 We recognize that there is more work to do and we all have a responsibility to stand up and protect our democracy.

01:11:12.940 I would invite all members to cease their attacks on some of the finest Canadians I know and to unite in this important work.

01:11:19.380 No criticism of Trudeau.

01:11:21.500 Yeah, I am hopeful because you see conservatives are starting to actually be like, this is ridiculous.

01:11:29.720 For the longest time, conservatives are trying not to lose elections.

01:11:33.400 We did see a little bit of that throughout campaigns, obviously, because the media is so hostile and attacky.

01:11:39.360 But the strongest moments for Andrew Scheer, for Pierre Paulyevre, for Danielle Smith, for Scott Moe,

01:11:44.560 when Scott Moe had that line about, like, if this is what you're going to do, lock me up.

01:11:48.320 Like, come lock me up.

01:11:49.580 Conservatives who are brash and willing to push back and willing to speak their heart and not just play politics,

01:11:56.340 not just be on the backpedal perpetually.

01:11:59.200 It's incredible to see.

01:12:00.540 And it's that that's going to win people's hearts over, I hope.

01:12:04.740 The willingness to speak from the heart, to be blunt, to be direct,

01:12:08.300 and to call out the absurd status of politics within this country right now.

01:12:12.440 Well, and again, I would recommend anybody to listen through to those question and answer periods.

01:12:18.760 It really is laughable, especially when you get Trudeau in there.

01:12:22.020 And we saw, you know, yesterday there's the clip with Pierre questioning Trudeau's previous time as a teacher.

01:12:30.140 And it is really, at the end of the day, a laughing house, regardless of, you know, what side of the aisle we're looking at.

01:12:38.400 Yes, the Conservatives right now, they're taking a very strong stance, but they're taking a strong stance as the opposition to the government in a sense.

01:12:45.500 Right now, Trudeau's in power.

01:12:46.840 The littles are in power. 0.90

01:12:47.880 And how many years now do we have of dirt that's been coming up under the rug and being created by this government?

01:12:54.680 There's so much ammunition at this point that if they weren't asking tough questions every single day, I'd be very disappointed.

01:13:00.660 And we're kind of at that point now where we need somebody.

01:13:04.220 It's, you know, time's come for somebody to go every single day of Justin Trudeau's time in office and note every single thing he's done.

01:13:12.260 It's time because we're not going to, Trudeau's not going to be the next premier or pardon me, prime minister of this country.

01:13:18.580 And that's not going to happen.

01:13:19.640 I think that's a very tough sell for anybody considering whether it be the situation happening now with regards to China's interference, whether it be his handling of the coronavirus, whether it be his seizing or attempts to reduce the amount of firearms, legally obtained firearms that are on the market, or whether it's him trying to give drugs to children and trying to mutilate them at the same time.

01:13:41.460 I mean, his time is over there.

01:13:43.580 He's pissed off enough people at this point.

01:13:45.880 So now's the time we need a real banger of a documentary to hit every single point that Justin Trudeau's faulted on and let everybody know because people have forgotten.

01:13:55.080 Yeah.

01:13:55.260 And I, I like your optimism.

01:13:57.440 I hope that's the case, but I don't know, man.

01:14:00.120 It's at the point where I think the guy could kill a puppy on video.

01:14:02.700 I've said it before, but I think he might be able to do that and still get elected.

01:14:06.000 It's wild to see the next federal election will certainly be interesting.

01:14:10.260 We're a bit over time here.

01:14:11.920 I want to thank everyone for their patience, for sticking with us.

01:14:14.600 Any final thoughts, Sid?

01:14:17.160 Well, let's, let's play Spets and see who wins.

01:14:21.920 Thanks so much, everyone, for tuning in.
