Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ 'Death knell' for the economy, Millions of extra COVID tests, Our dystopian future

00:00:00.000 Oh, good afternoon. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Rebel News Daily Roundup.

00:00:19.840 I'm your host today, filling in for regular host David Menzies, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and

00:00:25.320 I'm joined by my co-host in Quebec, Alexa Lavoie.

00:00:28.900 Alexa, how's it going? You look great today, by the way.

00:00:32.040 Thank you. It's probably because it's so cold here, so it's probably like why I look like fresh.

00:00:39.200 Rosy teeth?

00:00:40.620 Yeah. And what about you? Is it cold on your side?

00:00:47.260 No, it's warm. It's warm for once. It's good. It's like 24 degrees and sunny, and I'm confined to

00:00:53.220 my little dungeon in the basement here where I work all day. But we should tell everybody what

00:00:58.440 we're doing. The show is jam-packed. There's no possible way that we're going to get to

00:01:01.960 everything today. But as I said, this is the Rebel News Daily Roundup. It's normally hosted

00:01:06.600 by my friend David Menzies, but we are undergoing some studio construction, and so we're using

00:01:12.980 remote hosts for a couple of days this week, too. We thought things would be resolved by

00:01:17.240 last week, but they're not. But the show must go on. And on the roundup, we talk about the

00:01:23.540 day's news completely unscripted. It's a great chance for us as Rebels to interact with each

00:01:28.940 other. So I get to talk to Alexa about the news of the day, which is great because it

00:01:32.720 gives us perspectives from different journalists from other sides of the country. But it also

00:01:37.860 allows you to not only interact with your fellow Rebels, fellow Rebel watchers, in the live chat,

00:01:45.060 either on YouTube or Rumble, but it allows you to support the work that we do out of complete

00:01:51.520 free will, which is completely different than what Justin Trudeau does with the mainstream media. So

00:01:56.340 if you are watching us on Rumble, you can leave us a paid chat called A Rumble Rant. On Odyssey,

00:02:02.000 it's called A Hyper Chat. And if you leave us one of those, we'll do our best to read those towards

00:02:07.180 the end of the show. I know some of our other hosts read them sort of as they come in, but I

00:02:11.240 like to keep you around to the end. So if you want to leave us one of those, it supports the work that

00:02:15.300 we do. It democratizes the show. You can have your say. And it's a great way to support the little

00:02:22.360 network that could. Is my lipstick smeared? Yes, it was. It was a big hectic rush to get on air today.

00:02:30.860 Um, we should talk about this thing that Daniel Smith talked about over the weekend. Now, David

00:02:38.560 Menzies always mentions what, what day it is, you know, like, is it national donut day or national

00:02:46.460 bring your dog to work day? Well, uh, in Alberta, uh, on a more serious note, despite what the people

00:02:54.980 in Hollywood and the left will tell you, uh, we recognize here in Alberta, that human trafficking

00:03:00.260 is, it is a catastrophe. It God's children are not for sale as they say. And it is world day against

00:03:08.540 trafficking in persons. And, um, our government is very focused on freeing people from the, uh,

00:03:17.600 confines of human slavery, sex slavery. Um, it's usually marginalized women who are drawn into this 1.00

00:03:26.580 or who are taken into this, uh, the people to left say they care about, right. Um, but they have to

00:03:33.480 not acknowledge the problem because to not acknowledge the problem means that you don't

00:03:38.160 have to acknowledge that some of your friends are involved in it. So, um, our, uh, our government

00:03:44.160 is taking a firm stance against human trafficking. And, uh, unlike the progressives of the world,

00:03:49.780 we say it's a real thing. And imagine like how much we can progress in this horrible thing. If all

00:03:58.800 government around the world would have done the same as a statement and just take accountability for

00:04:05.160 the people who are doing human trafficking, like instead of just censoring, uh, a movie,

00:04:12.800 and, and, and, and, and, and saying to people, do not go in and see it when this exists, it's reality.

00:04:21.760 And the progress that we can make, if like everybody was doing the same as Daniel Smith.

00:04:28.540 Well, and for the left, they have to acknowledge that the things that they want to ignore or make

00:04:36.260 legal are fueling human trafficking. So they want to completely make prostitution in all

00:04:42.780 of its forms legal. That fuels human trafficking. You know, if you don't have a, if you don't have

00:04:48.680 a point of police intervention, um, then you don't, you're unable to intervene to help these women who

00:04:56.060 have been taken into sex slavery. Um, and a lot of it is fueled by drugs and the gangs that, um,

00:05:02.760 operate, um, using drugs as their currency or their economy. Um, and the left just wants to

00:05:09.760 completely legalize that again, no point of police contact to rescue people from sex slavery. If all

00:05:15.780 the things that, uh, fuel, uh, human trafficking are all of a sudden legal.

00:05:21.440 And especially like trying to normalize the minor attract, uh, attractive person. So for me,

00:05:29.160 this is just like another thing that will just put some fire on that big, huge problem.

00:05:35.980 Yeah. Yeah. I read somewhere and I've seen Glenn Beck give this statistic before that there are more

00:05:41.480 people in slavery in any number of its forms, whether it's indentured servitude. Um, if it is,

00:05:50.100 uh, foreign workers who come to places like Saudi Arabia, and then they have their passports taken

00:05:56.120 and they can't leave or sex slavery. Um, there are more people in slavery at this moment on the face of

00:06:03.740 the earth than any other time in human history combined. Um, and so it's a real problem that

00:06:09.940 the left just does not want to acknowledge. And I think it is because they don't really believe in

00:06:14.460 the dignity and the value of the person. I'm not really surprised. Um, moving on from that somber

00:06:23.180 note, although I'm proud to say that Alberta is acknowledging it in our, our premier seems to be

00:06:27.420 a woman with her, um, eye towards helping the vulnerable, both in her drug policy, but also,

00:06:33.380 uh, uh, her focus on human trafficking. Um, we should move into the more ridiculous things, 0.88

00:06:39.860 lighten up the show a little bit. Um, let's talk about climate change because, uh, I've lived through,

00:06:47.680 I've lived through several, uh, climate doomsdays and here I am on the other side. Uh, they predict,

00:06:55.620 predicted no Arctic ice several times, um, snowless winters. I don't threaten me with a good time.

00:07:05.000 I hope so. Uh, throw another tire on the fire if it means no more snow in the winter one year. Um,

00:07:13.640 but that never materializes. And yet they still think that I'm supposed to care about their flood

00:07:18.020 climate modeling. Uh, we've got, um, nuclear Armageddon and climate change declared as the

00:07:25.280 biggest threats to Canadian security reports. According to an April 26 briefing note, Canada

00:07:30.880 has only 300 full-time military personnel in the North located across Whitehorse, Yellowknife,

00:07:37.600 and Iqaluit. Uh, I'm sure there are a few intermittently stationed, um, at Alert, uh, Alert

00:07:45.360 is a, a base there. That's a NORAD monitoring site. Um, they really should be monitoring for the

00:07:52.300 Russians, but, um, I bet mostly they just do Santa tracking up there at this point, uh, because of 1.00

00:08:01.080 Justin Trudeau's extreme neglect of the military. But yeah, if we seriously think that nuclear,

00:08:08.680 uh, war is a threat to us, why don't we have enough people monitoring where the nuclear weapons are going

00:08:15.540 to come at us? Cause that's why those bases exist up there. And the, the most hilarious part on this,

00:08:22.380 um, article is like, we are spending a lot of money to rebuild, um, a lending, uh, test for like the

00:08:30.920 flight in the North that's for protect the security of the nation against China and Russia. When we

00:08:39.360 actually fill the fight between Ukraine and Russia to help Ukraine to have more heart, like weapon,

00:08:49.140 more money to fight against them. And fun fact, we send them 406 million in air defense in Ukraine.

00:08:57.940 When we don't, we do not have that year for protect ourselves. You know, and I'm not someone who's

00:09:06.380 against military spending. Like I'm not, I'm not against, uh, fueling the war machine. Oh, my glasses

00:09:14.080 are, I have a headache, but my glasses are chroma keying and it's probably weird for the viewer. Um,

00:09:20.060 but, um, you know, like I'm not against military spending on the Canadian military. Um, but I have a

00:09:28.240 real tough time with dumping a pile of money on Ukraine when our soldiers are buying their own, uh,

00:09:35.400 body armor. They're buying their own helmets. They're buying their own food. Sometimes on deployment,

00:09:39.640 they are sharing sleeping bags. Um, we up until just now, Justin Trudeau decided the F 35 was a

00:09:47.460 good idea when he mocked Stephen Harper for trying to buy the F 35, um, 10 years ago. But now all of a

00:09:55.360 sudden, Justin Trudeau thinks we're hard of remembering about how he mocked, uh, the F 35 back

00:10:01.340 then. And now we have to pay more for the F 35 because we didn't get in on the procurement with

00:10:06.440 our military allies. Then, uh, I've seen the F 35 in Israel. The thing is amazing. Um, but instead,

00:10:13.520 Justin Trudeau bought these decommissioned Aussie, um, AF 18s, um, that were headed for the scrap heap 1.00

00:10:21.000 and sent them to cold Lake to recommission them. Um, but just through wasting money all over the place.

00:10:28.700 And so when we say we're building, rebuilding air force bases in the North, perfect. I'm happy about

00:10:35.760 that. Um, it's nice to see an air force base get built in Canada or repaired in Canada or, uh,

00:10:43.380 military infrastructure get repaired in Canada, as opposed to just throwing money at Ukraine to build

00:10:49.180 their own military infrastructure. But I've got a real problem with the fact that we don't,

00:10:53.060 we probably, um, won't have a force to, um, man this, uh, newly repaired military infrastructure

00:11:01.320 because of COVID mandates and, uh, just demoralization in the CAF. Uh, there's been a

00:11:11.360 mass exodus from the force. Now, whether that's because they were forced out because of vaccine

00:11:15.900 mandates, because they didn't want to be part of a force that would enforce vaccine mandates,

00:11:20.180 or they have a low toleration for the absolute wokeness infecting, uh, the CAF brass, not the

00:11:27.520 people who are, um, you know, like your, your regular soldiers, but I'm talking about the brass,

00:11:32.780 the guys at the top. Um, it's just not a force that anybody, it's a volunteer force. We don't

00:11:38.180 have conscription. So you need to be something that compels people to enlist and they just are

00:11:44.620 not that anymore. Yeah. But in this, yeah, I, I understand your point when we say that, yes,

00:11:52.460 we need to, to spend more to protect this, the security and to rebuild the base air force. But

00:12:01.080 in the same time, we need to think about the fact that Canadians usually fight for peace and not like

00:12:08.080 fuel a fight that is already happening instead of like maybe working and saying like, maybe we can

00:12:14.140 just help to reach like level of peace, like instead of like sending million of million to

00:12:23.360 billion of dollars to Ukraine when we don't even know what they are doing with our money.

00:12:29.180 Right. I, I, I, I, I'm, we're 100% on the same page, rebuild military infrastructure here,

00:12:36.060 make the force something that people want to serve in. Cause right now it's not that, um, and quit

00:12:41.920 fueling the war efforts in other countries, because, um, if your greatest fear is nuclear war,

00:12:48.440 then why are you pushing the world closer and closer to it, uh, by, you know, being involved

00:12:55.220 secondhand in a conflict that really Canada has no interest in. Exactly. Um, it's still on the issue

00:13:05.140 of climate change. Uh, because apparently, you know, I guess we're rebuilding the military bases

00:13:11.380 to monitor for climate change up there. Um, Chrissy Freeland claims that not how, Oh, this is rich.

00:13:17.560 This lady, I've got a video, I'm doing a video about her today. Um, but it'd probably be out tomorrow 0.99

00:13:22.820 or the next day. Um, I just noticed something about her clothing and I know that it's, it's petty,

00:13:28.980 but it's something that the other media talk about with all the other politicians. So I've got my own

00:13:34.620 particular viewpoint on this, but anyways, she mostly always wear like red. So she did always look like 1.00

00:13:43.180 a, the red apple of Canada. Oh yeah. She's wearing liberal red. Like if you notice the conservatives

00:13:49.900 will wear a lot of blue, the NDP were a lot of orange, but she has these same five, I think five

00:13:56.420 shift dresses that she, they're the exact same ones. They're equally all unflattering. Uh, nobody

00:14:03.360 around her likes her enough to tell her, stop this. Um, but that's not even what my video is about,

00:14:07.960 but I noticed something else about what she wears. Um, we'll talk about it later. I don't want to give

00:14:15.760 the video away. People will have to watch, but, uh, Freeland claims that, um, if you are considering

00:14:21.460 visiting Canada and the beauty of Canada, um, you probably, you might not because, um, I guess

00:14:31.080 because we don't have a climate plan. What is she talking about? They've been taxing us, uh, for

00:14:38.440 several years. Um, if people don't come to visit Canada, it might have something to do with the fact

00:14:43.700 that this is a very expensive place to visit. If you are trying to stretch your tourism dollars,

00:14:48.260 like, I'm surprised, like, I'm surprised people come here are like, it's very expensive place to

00:14:55.040 visit. It's a very expensive place to live, but I can't imagine that a Japanese tourist who is 1.00

00:15:00.820 obsessed with Anne of Green Gables. Did you know that's a thing? They're, they're very obsessed with

00:15:04.900 Anne of Green Gables. Anne of Green Gables is like a big thing in Japan. And so they love to go visit

00:15:11.600 where, uh, Lucy Maude Montgomery wrote Anne of Green Gables. They, they love the idea of like walking in

00:15:17.720 those footsteps. It's a huge thing. Um, but, uh, I can't imagine that a Japanese tourist who's going 1.00

00:15:25.080 to fly all the way over here to like experience the Anne of Green Gables universe firsthand is going

00:15:31.220 to be like, Oh, they didn't raise the carbon tax high enough. It totally can't go now. Like it's

00:15:37.900 just so stupid, but that's the argument she's making. Let's roll this clip. 1.00

00:15:40.920 I have to say failure to have a climate plan is actually the death knell for the Canadian economy.

00:15:52.020 People will not want to buy the stuff we make in Canada. If we are not making it in a green way,

00:15:59.360 people will not want to visit our country. If they do not see that we are energetically embracing the

00:16:07.320 green transition. They'll go to places that are embracing that. So I really believe very,

00:16:14.520 very strongly that our green policy is an economic growth policy. I have to say.

00:16:23.860 What a stupid claim. Like seriously, for someone who did travel to so many countries, I can affirm you 1.00

00:16:31.460 that people doesn't care about like the cream, like energy. And if you are doing step forwards or not,

00:16:37.660 people wants to travel. They wants to visit. They wants to experience other culture and other like

00:16:44.660 feeling and food. They don't care about like, if you are using green or not green, because anyway,

00:16:51.120 they are taking a flight for coming there. So anyway, all the travel to go there will pollute anyway.

00:16:58.500 So for the green transition, we, I don't like, seriously, this is just a stupid claim.

00:17:06.020 I just pulled up the Wikipedia and take that for what you will, world tourism rankings. Canada is not

00:17:12.100 even in the top 10 and they've been taxing me. They've been taxing me and taxing me and taxing me

00:17:18.800 for years. So France is number one. Spain is number two. I'm not sure Spain has a climate tax,

00:17:24.880 but number three is the United States. And they definitely don't have a nationwide carbon tax.

00:17:30.840 Turkey, I'm sure does not have one. Italy, if they have one, their beautiful new prime minister

00:17:36.820 is going to turf that. Mexico definitely doesn't. So I'm sorry, but just even the statistics don't play

00:17:46.700 out that having these green taxes on people, by the way, making travel to those countries even more

00:17:54.520 expensive. It doesn't encourage people to come there. Like what, if you were a tourist and you

00:18:02.260 were saying, okay, well, I only have this much to spend on my vacation and I would need to make this

00:18:09.620 much money go as far as possible. It's no wonder Mexico's on the list. Your dollar goes pretty far 0.84

00:18:15.900 there. You know, like if you're going to a place with a carbon tax, it's like going to a place with

00:18:21.720 a VAT or a sales tax. Your money doesn't go as far. And that's a lot, something that a lot of people

00:18:28.340 factor into going on vacation. But also this idea that people won't come here if we're not green

00:18:34.900 manufacturing. Really? Do people actually care about green manufacturing? Everything we buy is

00:18:41.400 made in China and nobody seems to care. I think one of the world's largest fashion retailers is

00:18:46.320 Sheen or Shine or however you say it. And that's just basically single use, double use fashion that

00:18:55.600 you wear, you wash, it falls apart and people buy it, buy something else the next time. Nobody cares

00:19:01.100 about where stuff is made anymore. But it's interesting to see Christopher Freeland use this

00:19:08.580 idea that maybe we should be a place of ethical manufacturing, because I do believe that. And I do

00:19:16.560 believe that specifically about our oil and gas. You know, yeah, I would love everybody to have a

00:19:22.440 sticker on the pump that says this, this is Canadian oil, or this is Algerian oil, or this is Saudi Arabian

00:19:27.800 oil, so that they can make those decisions. Maybe people, maybe people might care. Freeland thinks

00:19:33.440 they do. So let's find out. We do that with the maple syrup. Why not with our oil and gas?

00:19:40.440 Yeah. Yeah. And, and the thing is, like, we enter in the new era, where most of the people are,

00:19:47.320 like, struggle with inflation, not everywhere around the world, but a lot of, like the G7 country,

00:19:54.260 for example, like a lot of them have like the inflation, uh, as us, those people, they, they want

00:20:01.840 to keep travel, same if they are struggling in their daily life. So do you think really that they

00:20:09.920 will say, why not going to Canada? I would like go not very long time because it's too expensive,

00:20:17.160 but at least they have green energy. Yeah. No, nobody cares. Nobody's like, Oh, I wanted to go

00:20:25.240 stay in Canada, but I heard that the hotel, uh, uses coal-fired electricity. So I definitely can't

00:20:30.920 go there. Like, it's just the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And it is like, it's so clear, but Freeland 0.99

00:20:37.200 is so out of touch with normal people. I'm convinced she doesn't know any normal people. And, uh, this next

00:20:45.360 story will, uh, bolster my arguments here. So Freeland, do we have that video of Freeland complaining

00:20:53.040 about, or saying like, Oh, I, I don't need a car. Olivia, do we have that? Do we show that? Can we?

00:21:03.620 I don't know, but I remember Disney plus, the Disney plus subscription.

00:21:07.980 Yeah. Okay. So Freeland whose economic acumen should frighten us all considering that she's 1.00

00:21:15.240 the finance minister. She, uh, basically burned an entire section of Reuters to the ground

00:21:20.560 with her finance by ignoring financial advice. It's a department of Reuters you'll never hear

00:21:25.980 about because it no longer exists because they had the misfortune of putting Chrystia Freeland in 0.99

00:21:30.140 charge of it before she entered politics. It was called Reuters next. And her mismanagement 0.99

00:21:35.660 destroyed that entire section of the company. And then, uh, when she moved to Toronto,

00:21:41.800 she had to get her parents to co-sign her mortgage as a woman in her forties. Now I get it. It's 0.83

00:21:48.600 expensive to live in Toronto. And so maybe she didn't need her parents to help her co-sign there.

00:21:54.220 However, Freeland as finance minister has done nothing to make life in Canada more affordable

00:21:59.920 as she for people seeking mortgages. Um, and you know, she also said to cancel your Disney plus

00:22:08.120 subscription if you can't afford food. So, um, she's absolutely, uh, completely out of touch with

00:22:17.200 normal people. And, um, I'm not sure we need to play the Disney plus clip. I don't know if you found

00:22:25.240 the clip, Olivia, from the other day where she's talking about, um, how she doesn't need a car.

00:22:30.060 And so the rest of us who live in one of the world's least populated countries, we don't need 0.99

00:22:36.520 cars either. Um, we should all just live in downtown Toronto, I guess, uh, within walking distance from

00:22:41.500 a subway. Do we have that clip? Here we go. This is, I mean, it's like, she's a space alien.

00:22:50.240 This is never, ever met a normal person. Roll this.

00:23:01.060 ...increase in gas, diesel, and oil this morning between six and eight cents per liter.

00:23:08.040 Okay. Um, well, I have been talking about that with Heath and Sean. Heath and Sean and I had

00:23:14.580 breakfast together before that.

00:23:16.560 One of the key industries here on Prince Edward Island in particular is our tourist industry.

00:23:19.880 And particular to that, our car tourist industry, people traveling from our region to this island

00:23:26.000 to be tourists with policies like the carbon tax and the clean fuel standards, which are

00:23:31.260 by design meant to reduce consumption of fuel and reduce, are you worried that's going to

00:23:36.480 have a chilling effect on one of the key industries here on Prince Edward Island?

00:23:40.720 Um, so yeah, I'm very aware of that.

00:23:43.380 And actually, um, uh, with a couple of my colleagues, we drove here last night from Halifax.

00:23:49.500 Um, we very much believe in PEI.

00:23:56.760 We believe in the tourism industry and we believe in the PEI economy overall.

00:24:02.880 Um, today's announcement was about all of that. You guys are nice.

00:24:10.140 I did want to say one more thing, though. I don't need you to retread the ground you've

00:24:14.260 gone over because you've answered this question on the other side, but you are facing a lot

00:24:17.800 of pushback in this region in particular from local politicians, local provincial governments

00:24:22.460 that say this, they're not opposed to it, but it's coming too soon, too fast. They need

00:24:27.420 more time to adapt. What do you say to that?

00:24:29.340 You know what? I say, I do really understand. Um, I really understand the challenges. A fact

00:24:39.060 that still shocks my dad is I don't actually own a car because I live in downtown Toronto.

00:24:45.580 I'm like, I don't know, 300 meters from the nearest subway. Um, I walk, I take the subway and

00:24:53.760 make my kids walk and ride their bikes and take the subway. It's actually healthier for our

00:24:58.200 family. I can live that way. I can live that way. Okay, great.

00:25:07.360 I like the music in the background. I don't know who did that, but it's just like,

00:25:11.880 Oh, it's funny.

00:25:14.480 But I, I really want to do a poll. Who, who hate more, the more, who, who the people hate

00:25:21.680 the most? Chrystia Furlan or Justin Trudeau?

00:25:26.080 Well, like the woman is completely out of touch. It shocks her dad that she doesn't own a car.

00:25:32.800 Yeah. Uh, why? Because she has a car. She just doesn't have to own it. The taxpayer pays for it. 1.00

00:25:41.920 She has a chauffeur driven executive town car that she gets to pick her up and cart her around 1.00

00:25:49.420 everywhere. And even worse, I, one time went and I pulled all of her flight records and I matched

00:25:56.620 them up with her chauffeur records. And I don't know why I did this, but I could see that she was

00:26:03.020 flying to Montreal and she was sending her chauffeur in the car ahead on the ground to Montreal. So

00:26:12.300 driving all the way to Montreal and picking her up at the airport. What? Yeah. Yes. It's even the

00:26:19.520 worst. It's like double pollution for nothing. For nothing. So that, because I guess, cause she

00:26:25.600 doesn't have a car. She doesn't care. So like when she was flying from Ottawa, she would have the 0.96

00:26:29.280 chauffeur pick her up when she was flying from Ottawa to Toronto. The chauffeur would fly ahead

00:26:34.640 of her plane or drive ahead of her plane to pick her up. And so she's going to lecture me about how

00:26:40.640 I don't need to own a car because she lives 300 feet from a subway station. I live like 45 minutes 0.98

00:26:48.260 from town. Is she crazy? It's not. Everybody lives in downtown Toronto. I'm sorry. As I pointed out, 0.93

00:26:56.980 this is one of the least densely populated places on the face of the earth. And we all can't live like

00:27:02.580 Freeland walking to a subway or having the taxpayer pay for her chauffeur driven limo. By the way,

00:27:09.980 thanks to her government's bail policies to use the subway system in Edmonton, you're taking your life

00:27:16.380 in your hands. So I'm glad she feels safe. I doubt that she's actually using the subway system in

00:27:22.000 Toronto because I've seen that she has the chauffeur drive her around. And I'm thinking

00:27:28.400 about, you know, where I am right now. I'm about 20 minutes for the closest bus that actually run

00:27:35.540 every hour, like one per hour. So I'm sorry, but if someone live around here where I am, good luck for

00:27:45.440 reaching downtown in a decent lap of time, because what you expect that people will walk 20 minutes,

00:27:53.840 about 20 minutes of driving. So it's about two hours walk to get the bus and reaching downtown

00:28:02.840 afterwards. She's crazy or what? Yeah, I think she is. And she should know better because her dad was a 0.74

00:28:09.920 farmer in northern Alberta. But I live on gravel, like, like a real tough time listening to this lady 0.69

00:28:16.900 tell me just go to the subway station and get all your work done. And by the way, like, I, I try to

00:28:24.600 be as economical with my travel as possible because Freeland makes life very expensive. But even even if I

00:28:31.520 lived somewhere where I could take the bus to town, which is crazy. How the heck am I going to get

00:28:38.740 the $400 worth of groceries I bought yesterday back home on the bus? You know, don't go to Costco.

00:28:47.640 I can't walk past a Costco and $400 just jumps out of my wallet and it's gone forever. But you know,

00:28:54.080 like, I try to do my grocery trips like at the end of the week on Sundays, fill up the house for the

00:29:00.480 kids. So I'm not running around all the time. And it costs a lot more than it ever did. But I'm still

00:29:05.700 bringing a trunk full of jeep's trunk full of groceries into the house on Sundays. How am I

00:29:11.400 supposed to do that on the bus? I just can't run up to the store and get the milk around the corner.

00:29:17.040 It's a 40 minute round trip for me to go up to the store to get a milk.

00:29:22.220 Like, I did live the life like I got my first car recently, like this year and last year,

00:29:29.260 actually, I never owned a car before was using my bike, public transit buses. But I was living

00:29:37.240 downtown. And I can tell you, it was a pain on the ass. Because every time I was going to the 1.00

00:29:44.380 grocery, I was like suffering with all like my bag. And I'm just alone. I doesn't have any kids.

00:29:51.120 And I was like, okay, if this is actually a pain for me, I don't like the like, all a mother who 1.00

00:29:58.780 have like, maybe two or three children who needs to do that, like two times a week on this is

00:30:05.900 unbelievable. Like if she think that everybody can do that, because it's already like, really

00:30:13.440 difficult to do. And you need to be really set mind to do that. Or have a taxpayer driven chauffeur

00:30:23.340 chauffeur limousine. I mean, that that makes it a lot easier to not own. Oh, yeah, I don't even I

00:30:28.820 don't even own a car. No, I own your car. Actually, we all do. We should move ahead, though. Because

00:30:36.520 not only does Freeland not own a car, I've noticed and I've pulled the records on this,

00:30:42.300 a lot of the executive vehicles. So not only do we give them these chauffeur driven executive town

00:30:53.120 cars or limos or suburbans, a lot of times it's suburbans. But we also a lot of times provide them

00:31:01.200 with a vehicle like, I think free. No, Catherine McKenna, she drove a Subaru, I think that we paid

00:31:11.420 for if I recall correctly, was not an EV, by the way, they don't buy EVs for themselves. They just

00:31:17.280 want the rest of us to buy them. But despite all that, and if you ask them, why don't you drive an

00:31:24.620 EV? They say, well, because they're unreliable in Canadian conditions. And I'm like, yes, I know.

00:31:30.600 I know. That's why I need to drive my gas powered or diesel powered vehicle.

00:31:34.700 Despite the fact that the government wants to phase them out in seven short years. Despite all

00:31:41.620 this, the feds are pondering more electric vehicle rebates. So once again, Canada continues to pay

00:31:49.260 for the novelty vehicles, the second and third vehicles of rich people by subsidizing them. These

00:31:58.360 are already vehicles that are heavily subsidized, both in the manufacturing aspect, but also at the

00:32:05.420 retail side. And they also get preferential treatment on the roads, which I dislike immensely

00:32:12.620 that they have their own lane in Ontario. We don't have that in Alberta. I guess we don't have enough

00:32:18.040 EVs for it to make sense. But I just don't think you should be like the transportation elite because

00:32:23.700 you spent too much money on a car that you can only drive for four months of the year.

00:32:28.020 But now they want to give rich people more money to buy EVs because apparently you can't inspire

00:32:34.500 people to buy these unreliable cars on their own. So you have to basically throw money at people.

00:32:40.660 But you're right. Like they cost already so much money to buy one new that, okay, if you give them

00:32:48.800 like example, 5,000 back, it's only rich people will be able to afford it. So you actually give

00:32:55.660 a rebate to rich people who don't need the rebate instead of maybe lower the carbon tax for the normal

00:33:04.680 people who cannot afford your electric vehicle because anyway, same if you offer a rebate, they

00:33:10.420 will not afford it.

00:33:12.480 Yeah. Well, and it does, again, it's just completely, it's like Freeland again, doesn't acknowledge the

00:33:17.240 reality of living somewhere outside of downtown Toronto. I need a vehicle with a lot of range.

00:33:22.540 I'm in and out of Calgary a couple of times a week. Sometimes it's a eight hour round trip for me.

00:33:28.580 In Alberta, sometimes our commutes in the oil patch are five hours one way. You know, if you're going up

00:33:34.800 to work in Fort McMurray from Edmonton, or you're going to work in Saskatchewan or, you know, on the

00:33:40.080 eastern slopes to work in the oil patch, you need a vehicle with not, not only a vehicle that can

00:33:49.340 stand our weather, go off the highway on a, you know, a forestry road or a lease road, but you need

00:33:58.200 something with range and EVs don't have range. Like they just don't. And, you know, with our major

00:34:04.240 cities being at least three hours apart from each other, that doesn't make any sense. I don't want to

00:34:09.500 factor in having to stop in Red Deer and recharge my vehicle for a couple of hours before I can

00:34:14.840 continue on the road to Calgary. Uh, but that's the life these people want us to live. And they're

00:34:19.940 trying to pay me to do it. And I just won't, I refuse. They'll pry my gas powered or diesel

00:34:26.740 powered vehicle from my cold dead hands. I just won't have it. I will fix my vehicle until it falls

00:34:32.880 apart before I give in to their push for net zero vehicles. I just will not do it.

00:34:38.340 But which industry would be happy of that? Do you think toy truck that they would like to store

00:34:44.840 all the electric car that didn't reach their destination in time?

00:34:51.620 I can't even imagine doing farm work with an electric pickup. Like I just, I can't even like

00:34:59.240 imagine hauling bales, hauling livestock, um, moving grain with an electric truck. I just,

00:35:05.000 it's madness just won't work. It doesn't have the same power anyway, because I was looking at one,

00:35:13.320 uh, of TV show and they were trying the, um, uh, the removal from the snow. I don't know how you

00:35:19.680 call it in English. Um, but someone had like a normal one with gas and the other one had like

00:35:26.240 the electric one and the electric one didn't do like a minute. I want to, it was just like

00:35:31.000 shutting down all the time because there is no power on this. Yeah. Well, I mean, if anybody has

00:35:37.920 a golf cart or an ATV, you know, your ATV is more powerful than your golf cart. I, we have both. So I

00:35:43.220 know, um, it, it's just common sense that the government doesn't have. Um, and we've seen this

00:35:49.080 play out in real time in Ottawa. They moved to, or they attempted to move to electric buses and

00:35:56.540 Ottawa gets a lot of snow and then the buses wouldn't work in the snow. And so they had spent

00:36:02.020 all this billions of dollars on this transition away from, uh, reliable diesel electric buses to

00:36:09.080 whatever they've got now. And then they just, the buses don't run in the snow. And so what are you

00:36:13.860 going to do except put the other ones back on the road? And just every time it snows, you have to

00:36:18.240 take the electric buses off the road. Great idea, guys. You're saving us money. Um, one more last

00:36:25.540 thing, uh, before we, uh, hit an ad break, which we're way overdue for, uh, tyranny runs in the

00:36:31.340 family over at the Schwab family. Uh, Klaus Schwab's daughter says that permanent climate lockdowns are

00:36:38.540 coming, whether you like it or not. Uh, you will not lock me down, sister. You're going to be like

00:36:45.140 stuffing a cat into a wet paper bag. You're not going to lock me down. Um, but these people think

00:36:51.380 that, um, they, God, she sure looks like a super villain. Anyways. Um, the, they think that they

00:36:58.060 can replicate the COVID lockdowns on their new emergency, which is the same old emergency that

00:37:05.300 ever was. Um, and they're going to prevent us from moving around and, uh, control our lives.

00:37:14.160 This is just the latest thing. They, they know who is compliant because of, uh, how certain people

00:37:23.000 and certain populations were able to be controlled, uh, during COVID lockdowns that ultimately made no

00:37:30.500 sense that they can convince people to go along, to get along. They know who those people are.

00:37:34.540 And now, um, they're going to use it for this and, um, good luck to them. Good luck.

00:37:43.400 But more and more is coming more and more. They are producing new tools that would be easier to

00:37:50.320 lock down people as electric cars, easy to cut electricity or say that you reach your level of

00:37:57.340 electricity allow and order like, like the 15 min city or whatever it is. It's always a new tool

00:38:05.100 that we see appearing. And it's just like, Oh, that's a great tool for controlling population.

00:38:10.180 Eh? You know, that's a really great point. It's a point that, uh, Andrew Wilkow on SiriusXM makes all

00:38:17.620 the time. He, on the Wilkow majority, he always says when the government is giving you something with 0.90

00:38:24.060 an outstretched hand, the other hand is always a closed fist. And you can see that you make an

00:38:29.920 excellent point when you're talking about, uh, green cars. So the government is basically paying

00:38:34.900 you to get into a green car, but the government now can turn off your green car. If you are defying

00:38:44.260 your climate lockdown, uh, the government uses, uh, land use and building codes to build you these

00:38:53.060 convenient little cities where you have everything you need, these 15 minute cities, these convenient

00:38:59.520 little neighborhoods. And so you're enticed to move into them because of the convenience, but they've

00:39:05.920 just built an ant farm for you and they're just going to close the lid. And so always be wary of when

00:39:11.320 the government is giving you things because it is never, ever, ever for free.

00:39:16.280 And especially like when we see like grocery store or restaurant that now doesn't accept any cash

00:39:23.620 and now you use your credit card, but your credit card, they can see like, Oh, too much meat.

00:39:29.380 We cut you on the credit, like carbon credit for your meat because you reach too much of your

00:39:36.540 carbon footprint now. So I'm really worried with this new, like generation of like boutique with

00:39:43.280 like now you cannot use any cash for that. So, um, um, I'm, I'm worried that this would be a huge

00:39:50.300 tool for the climate lockdown. Yeah. I mean, we've already seen it play out, right? Like they already

00:39:56.320 tested this with convoy. If you had a little bit too much to think, um, with the convoy and you threw

00:40:02.960 your support behind the convoy, you were kicked out of your bank account. So it can be done and without

00:40:08.380 much objection from the larger populace. So again, they know they, with COVID they've figured out

00:40:16.200 exactly who they can control. Uh, it's definitely not me, but they know that a huge portion of this

00:40:23.540 population will just go along to get along because the government told them that this is the right

00:40:27.420 thing to do. And they, that's all it takes for them to think that they're being a good person.

00:40:32.500 And so it's very chilling. Um, hopefully, you know, you know, what is most chilling is like

00:40:39.740 Quebec is the, the one who did buy the most of electric vehicles, um, the most receptive to it.

00:40:46.640 So I live here. Yikes. Yikes. You're going to be a real renegade. I think, uh, we should hit an ad

00:40:55.960 break and then we should go into federal politics because things aren't looking so great for the

00:41:00.320 just internal liberals, which is why I think there's absolutely no election in the very near

00:41:04.220 future. So let's do an ad break. How in the world could such a small group of people with

00:41:11.540 limited resources change world history? But in fact, that's happening and it's the power of the

00:41:17.140 truth. The truth is like kryptonite. Healthcare isn't in some sense working very well. Foster

00:41:22.160 Colson is thinking about this. He's got a new company, an online healthcare platform called the

00:41:26.920 wellness company, telehealth company called the wellness company, the wellness company,

00:41:30.600 the most popular product is the detoxification supplement that features natto kinase. Natto kinase

00:41:36.480 is the only enzyme that we're aware of right now that dissolves the spike protein. Spike protein is

00:41:41.680 loaded in the body with the COVID-19 infection and definitely with the vaccines. We've been completely

00:41:47.320 accurate on the spread of the virus, early treatment on the deficiencies in hospital care. And now

00:41:53.220 the deaths that are occurring after vaccination, this is a human outrage and it's occurring at the

00:41:59.740 end of a hypodermic needle. Isn't it interesting? Natural substances combating this man-made disaster.

00:42:14.780 Okie doke. Let's see if we can breeze through some of this. I don't want to spend too much time on

00:42:19.540 federal politics because I feel like Freeland just gobbled up a lot of the oxygen in the room

00:42:24.260 previously to this. But let's look at these polling numbers from polling Canada, updated 338 Canada

00:42:32.440 federal model. This is seat predictions if the election were held today. Conservative Party of

00:42:42.180 Canada, 162, that's majority. Liberal Party, 117, that puts them in opposition and not even enough with

00:42:50.960 the NDP to pick up. I mean, they couldn't take power from the Conservatives if they joined with the

00:43:01.600 NDP in a coalition. BQ wouldn't join with them anyway. And the Green parties. So massive shift.

00:43:10.360 So the BQ looks like they've picked up two seats, would pick up two seats from the NDP. So the NDP

00:43:18.320 support is not really moving towards the Liberals. Liberal support is not really moving towards the

00:43:24.400 NDP. It's moving directly over to the Conservative Party of Canada because people are sick of them.

00:43:30.060 So it's why you say that you don't see an election coming soon, just because it seems that

00:43:38.020 Justin Trudeau will, like, see that he's not, he's going to lose. So why, why snapping an election

00:43:46.000 now? Like, for him, like, you have, like, the chance with the NDP to be able to be in power until 2025.

00:43:54.800 Is that? Yeah. So I don't think, yeah, I don't, like, if he's doing that, you know that he's putting

00:44:02.260 his first feet into his tomb, and he would not be elect. No, he knows that. And so I think for

00:44:12.320 Justin Trudeau, his only real ideology is power. And so he doesn't want to lose it. That's why he's

00:44:20.340 willing to make deals with the NDP to hold on to power, do and say whatever it takes to hang on

00:44:25.980 to power. And so when I look at these numbers, there's no way in heck that he would do it.

00:44:33.700 Well, I guess he wouldn't call an election, but he also wouldn't do anything to fracture his

00:44:38.560 relationship with the NDP. Because fracturing that relationship with the NDP would bring us to a

00:44:42.880 confidence motion. And then that would be it for the Justin Trudeau Liberals. And looking at these

00:44:49.240 polling numbers, there's no possible way that he would jeopardize that. 0.98

00:44:53.020 But like the NDP are so like, hypocritical, like, they are bashing the liberals when they want, 0.94

00:45:00.780 but in the same time, they give them like all the power in one side. So I'm just like, 0.96

00:45:05.660 seriously, just don't talk, just don't do anything anyway, like you are as liberal as them,

00:45:11.200 because you're helping them to stay there. If you were really a party, like, you will be like,

00:45:18.600 now criticizing him, and also like, be with other party and, and request an election right now.

00:45:28.960 Sure. Actually, my MP, I'll point out, I'll divulge that my MP Garnet Janus, also goes to my church.

00:45:37.700 He points this out in a video in the House of Commons, just how hypocritical the NDP are standing

00:45:46.140 in outside the House of Commons, criticizing the liberals, but also voting along liberal party

00:45:51.780 lines inside the House of Commons. The NDP are really the only reason that the liberals are still

00:45:56.860 in power at this point. I guess because the liberals will throw them enough of like give them enough 1.00

00:46:06.020 of their policies in the liberal platform to keep them happy. Anyway, let's show my MP in action.

00:46:14.460 So in this House, we have, I think, different parties that have different dispositions when it

00:46:19.200 comes to, to corporations. You have the NDP that generally takes kind of an anti-business approach

00:46:25.320 in general. You have our party that champions the free competitive market, and you have a government

00:46:31.400 that is, is sadly captured by specific corporate interests, often at the expense of the free market,

00:46:38.460 as well as at the expense of, of individual well-being. And, and paradoxically, the NDP,

00:46:46.100 while they criticize the government for that, is, is, is fundamentally complicit with the government

00:46:51.200 in, on the one hand, criticizing their agenda as it relates to, to defending corporate interests,

00:46:57.380 but on the other hand, supporting the government and providing them with the, with the supply they

00:47:02.840 need to continue in their, in their misguided approach. So in this House. No wrong. I really

00:47:10.520 like him because, um, I remember in Quebec, they were calling the, um, the member of the

00:47:17.760 parliament, uh, green plan because they were not doing anything and they were just there and doing

00:47:23.340 nothing. But he is not, he's not a green plan. He's actually like, uh, requesting some information

00:47:30.060 and doing some, uh, order paper and asking the great question and actually like saying out loud

00:47:38.660 what the people really think. Yeah. There's a lot of really good conservative MPs from what I call the

00:47:46.120 class of 2015. There's a lot of young MPs, a lot of them, particularly in Alberta who, uh, got elected

00:47:54.040 even though Stephen Harper lost power that year. Shannon Stubbs is one. Garnett is one. Um,

00:48:01.360 it just really smart, scrappy, thoughtful, and very conservative. And a lot, uh, Arnold Veerson is

00:48:09.420 another one here in Alberta. He's heavy on the human trafficking issue. Um, a lot of them are like

00:48:16.060 openly pro-life, like they are not scared to be conservative. Um, and I think they're going to

00:48:21.920 make excellent cabinet ministers for Pierre Polyev when he wins. Um, let's hit an ad break. And then

00:48:30.800 I want to, we've got some LGBT nonsense to talk about, but I want to talk about again, but I want 1.00

00:48:38.760 to talk about the corn maze in Edmonton because wow. Anyway, let's hit an ad break. We'll talk about

00:48:44.700 the corn maze and they'll go into a couple LGBT cookie stories. You may have heard us previously

00:48:50.020 refer to the term Orwellian in response to the way that governments around the world have acted

00:48:55.300 throughout the COVID-1984 hysteria. But do you know what these terms really mean? Well, they come from

00:49:02.480 the dystopian writings of author George Orwell. And now you can read one of his most famous works,

00:49:08.080 novel 1984, better than ever before to hear the terms that we refer to often, such as the ministry

00:49:16.220 of truth, wrong thing, thought police, et cetera, straight from the horse's mouth. You can find it

00:49:22.560 at by 1984.com where rebel news is excited to launch this revamped classic tale. It's not revamped at all

00:49:31.940 in terms of what was actually written. In fact, all of the writings themselves remain entirely

00:49:37.760 unchanged, but we're now bringing you this harrowing futuristic novel fully illustrated and with a

00:49:46.020 larger, easier to read font size. There is a forward by rebel commander Ezra Levant, and you can order it

00:49:54.340 directly through that website by 1984.com. The parallels between the depictions of the surveillance

00:50:02.660 state and Orwellian's totalitarian depictions in 1984 contrasted with what we are seeing today in

00:50:11.380 our democracies should not be ignored. Go to by 1984.com and purchase your book today. And hey, maybe

00:50:19.460 even order a copy or two for a friend. It's the perfect gift that keeps on giving. And you'll never

00:50:25.480 be able to view the doublespeak of certain politicians the same way again. That's by 1984.com.

00:50:37.860 All right, let's talk about the corn maze. Then we'll go into some LGBT sidewalks getting hate crimed again. 0.89

00:50:45.480 And then we'll talk about the COVID test so that we hit because COVID test is is on the headline. So

00:50:54.080 we want to make sure we touch this. Okay, corn maze in Edmonton. And they say it's Edmonton. It's

00:50:59.140 just outside of Edmonton city limits. In fact, it's the next door neighbor pretty well of Grace Life

00:51:04.620 Church. So I'm familiar with this neck of the woods a little bit. And I'll be honest with you,

00:51:10.260 I take my kids to this corn maze every year. The kids sort of compete with each other about who's

00:51:17.800 going to finish it first. And then they go their own way. And I just go get coffee and wait on

00:51:22.500 everybody to get lost. But anyway, it's fine. The corn maze every year, they do a different design,

00:51:28.940 right? Like some years, I think one year it was like a transformer or some. I think maybe even they've

00:51:35.600 had like an NHL theme. This year, they have 150 years of the RCMP design. And look, I've got some

00:51:50.880 criticisms of the RCMP, but I also have some friends and family who are RCMP. So I don't think

00:51:57.940 that they're all bad. I've got real problems with the RCMP brass. I think a lot of the good cops feel

00:52:02.460 the same way. But they're a part of Canadian history. It's an institution that has served

00:52:13.320 Canada for a long time. A lot of men and women put on their uniform every day, kiss their family

00:52:17.720 goodbye and go do dangerous jobs, keeping our communities safe. The bad apples aside.

00:52:24.400 Nothing wrong with that. I don't see anything wrong with this. And I'm a critic of the police

00:52:28.580 sometimes, right? But the people who don't go to the corn maze, obviously, because it's too far outside

00:52:38.320 of city limits for them to take their bus or subway to, Christopher Freeland types. They are angry

00:52:46.520 because they say that a maze that acknowledges the service of the RCMP

00:52:53.760 is somehow insensitive to marginalized communities. Marginalized communities, by the way,

00:53:01.700 which the RCMP serve. Because it's just anti-police nonsense. What are you going to do?

00:53:10.180 Call a social worker? But anyway, this is what it says. The Edmonton corn maze says it will give more

00:53:14.780 thought to future themes to make sure the maze is a welcoming space for everyone.

00:53:18.640 The police serve everyone, by the way. On Friday, the maze posted a statement on Facebook expressing

00:53:25.460 regret or any regret for any pain this year's RCMP's themed maze may have caused marginalized

00:53:34.660 communities. At the time of creating the design, our intention was not to overlook or downplay the

00:53:40.520 concerns associated with the RCMP. Now, this is not the RCMP jackboots cracking down on convoy

00:53:46.360 protesters. If someone had said, like, hey, that's distasteful, I'm not even sure that I would agree

00:53:54.340 with that because that's these RCMP and not the RCMP institution, the men and women who serve our

00:54:01.460 community as a whole. That's, again, something that happened in an isolated place in Ottawa and also

00:54:08.700 Brenda Luckey's the worst. And I'm glad she's gone. But anyways, the owner of the maze says,

00:54:16.760 we recognize that our approach of what? Building a maze? Did not adequately take into account the hurt

00:54:23.700 and harm that the RCMP's history has caused various communities, including Indigenous peoples

00:54:29.680 and people of color? Do we even do these people even know why the RCMP exists? Do they know why the 1.00

00:54:38.560 Northwest Mounted Police existed? I don't think they know. Anyways, he says, we acknowledge that any such

00:54:47.080 portrayal may be perceived as insensitive and dismissive of these valid issues. We're sorry.

00:54:52.080 Um, and he's been doing different mazes for, uh, 23 years. Um, but it sounds like he, uh,

00:55:01.400 I don't know. It sounds like the cancel culture mob came for him and he capitulated like an absolute

00:55:07.860 coward. I would have just said, yeah, this is the maze this year. If you don't like it, don't come, 0.98

00:55:12.740 come next year. That's completely stupid. Like I've been shot in the legs by RCMP. Do I'm actually 1.00

00:55:20.660 saying I am offense by that? No, because I acknowledge that they have a job that they are facing

00:55:27.820 sometime like really critical situation. And I will not paint like all RCMP officer because of one

00:55:35.800 single officer who did that to me. Um, no, I will not. And I, I think like people have like a really

00:55:45.080 quick way to just like paint everybody in the same box just because of one or two individual who did

00:55:53.760 like their job wrongly or did like some offencing thing, but that doesn't represent like the old

00:56:01.240 officers or the old like unit. It's, it's, I find that completely like stupid to, for them to have 0.98

00:56:08.920 apologized because they should not have been apologized because what they did, it was, it was right. 0.99

00:56:14.300 I just think this is crazy. And for these people, for those of you who don't know why the RCMP was

00:56:21.820 founded, it was founded to protect indigenous people from whiskey traders. So this is from

00:56:27.640 the RCMP's own website. Um, they consider the birthday of the RCMP May 23rd, 1873. Um,

00:56:39.920 the order in council to establish the Northwest mountain police. So the precursor to the

00:56:44.220 RCMP wasn't signed until August 30th, 1873, but the founding of this police agency was in response

00:56:51.520 to an attack on first nations people in the Cypress Hills, which is Saskatchewan and Alberta

00:56:56.100 by American whiskey traders and wolf hunters. They were founded to stop a massacre. Uh, later that

00:57:03.640 year on November 3rd, the first 150 recruits gathered at lower Fort Gary near Winnipeg, Manitoba

00:57:08.640 to start training. And so, uh, by the next summer, 300, uh, recruits were deployed across the West,

00:57:15.980 um, in detachments. Um, and these first outposts employed first nations and Métis guides, scouts,

00:57:24.140 and entrepreneur or and interpreters. So, um, the history of the RCMP is intrinsically tied

00:57:32.720 to a favorable relationship with first nations people. And what, by the way, what an insult to,

00:57:38.780 uh, first nations police officers right now that you can't celebrate the jobs that they do in their

00:57:45.600 community because you might offend some white busy bodies from downtown Edmonton. Get bent. 0.96

00:57:50.640 My biggest problem in this, it's like we, they comply once again and give like tribune to extreme 1.00

00:58:02.560 left activists who are for defund the police and that claim a cab, like all cops are bastards. 0.94

00:58:12.480 And they give them the reason of what they are doing as a being activists. And they, they see that 0.97

00:58:19.080 what they are doing got to a result. And that would not give them like the taste to stop. They

00:58:26.520 would just, they just, they would just want to continue because they see that the result of their

00:58:31.760 activists. Yeah. I mean this and the worst part, I mean, the mob is bad enough, but the mob shrieks

00:58:40.260 at everything. It's the guy who gave in. And I know some people are like, well, he's a small business

00:58:45.120 owner. This isn't the hill he wanted to die on. He's trying to protect his seasonal employees.

00:58:49.080 Sure. But do you really think that these, uh, cancel culture mobsters are going to get on their bikes

00:58:54.920 and drive the 10 kilometers out of town, down that secondary highway to get to the, um,

00:59:01.400 corn maze to protest them? Absolutely not. Normal people will continue to go. Uh, these people are

00:59:07.500 not patronizing your maze and I don't know why he capitulated and probably more people would have been

00:59:12.800 like, you know what? I, I didn't make, I don't normally make time for the corn maze, but I'm going to go

00:59:17.600 support this guy for taking a stand, uh, for, for doing the right thing. You know, it's very

00:59:23.940 demoralizing to the good cops to see, um, them all painted with the brush of bad cop. Um, and the

00:59:32.740 activists do it and that's what the activists will do. But this business owner just gave that,

00:59:36.860 um, some credibility for some reason. And I don't know why all he had to do was say,

00:59:42.160 you know what? Uh, I'm sorry. You don't like this year's corn maze. I'll see you next year.

00:59:47.380 Exactly. That was, they should have done that instead of like apologizing.

00:59:53.660 Yeah. I don't know. It's stupid anyway, but I, um, I'll have to find some, I'll go to the other

01:00:00.520 corn maze. There's, there are a couple other corn mazes. I'll go to the other one. It's not as big, 0.98

01:00:05.440 but, uh, I don't think they care about my politics down there. So I'll, I'll go to that one instead.

01:00:10.840 Um, we should talk about the COVID tests. Yeah. There, uh, apparently, uh, there are not enough

01:00:23.100 Nilly Kaplan mirths in the world to consume all the remaining COVID tests that are just out there.

01:00:28.980 Um, can we bring up that article? There we go. I think it's 39 million of tests that we are sitting

01:00:35.820 on it and, uh, they don't want to throw in the garbage. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so, and I know

01:00:46.280 there are COVID tests all over my house. Cause there was a point at which they were just sending them

01:00:49.720 home with my kids. And I'm like, I'm not sticking this thing up your nose. I don't care. You're not

01:00:54.160 sick. I'm not sticking this up your nose. And like my husband's work, I think they were sending them

01:00:58.820 home sometimes and they just piled up, piled up. I'm like, I'm not using them, quit sending them.

01:01:04.420 Um, and I remember that in Alberta, you could get your COVID tests. Like they would just give them

01:01:10.000 for free. I think you'd get them where basically wherever you wanted them and now they don't have

01:01:16.200 enough uptake. And so we've got all these tests, um, just sitting there, I suppose, expiring, uh,

01:01:22.600 along with the vaccines nobody wants. That's so stupid. 1.00

01:01:28.820 But people are like, keep forgetting that we paid for that. And, uh, we would just throw 1.00

01:01:36.280 like, I don't know how many, um, million of dollars that we would just throw in the garbage

01:01:42.660 because oven men wanted so much that you go home and test yourself.

01:01:49.840 Yeah. There were people who were like test obsessed. Have you noticed that people would

01:01:54.520 be like, and they would announce it on Twitter. They would be like, Oh, I, I have a runny nose.

01:02:00.140 I'm like, okay, who cares? And then they would be like, I tested for COVID and I didn't, and it came

01:02:05.220 back negative. So I tested the next day and it came back negative. So I tested the third day and it came

01:02:11.360 back positive. And it's like, okay, so I don't know if your test is wrong or if you got COVID,

01:02:18.280 but by the time they are testing positive for COVID, I think they're, their runny nose had

01:02:23.120 already cleared up. Like, but people were just so obsessed with joining the club of those who had

01:02:29.920 had COVID that they would test themselves obsessively to make sure that they had joined the club of those

01:02:36.580 who had COVID for some reason. I don't know, but it's not the club that I wants to be on.

01:02:44.000 I think I had COVID for like 18 hours. I was fine. It wasn't even enough for me to like take the day

01:02:49.500 off work. Although I never take the day off work, no matter how garbagey I feel. Um, I can't justify it.

01:02:54.820 I work from, I can't justify it. I work from home, but I remember I was just like, I was really warm,

01:03:00.200 but the rest of me was cold and I felt gross. I went to bed at three o'clock after our like last

01:03:05.700 staff call. And I woke up the next morning and I was like, well, I guess that's that.

01:03:09.600 Like it was, it was like, this is, this is why we shut down the world. Okay. Yeah. I gave me a

01:03:21.040 whole different perspective on everything. Um, last thing on the list before we, oh, we're over time.

01:03:26.680 So we should really get to it. Tilsonburg, Ontario, Oxford pride, just paid to have a crosswalk installed.

01:03:35.400 Less than a week ago by the clock tower. I thought pride is over. So why are we putting this thing

01:03:42.120 in anyway? Uh, it's disgusting that in 2023, we as hashtag two S L G B T Q A I plus folks. Oh my God.

01:03:55.700 Is that a word folks are continuing to have our, to have to fight for our rights, freedoms,

01:04:02.860 respect, and dignity. What happened? Someone squawk some tires on the road. Um, oh no,

01:04:08.620 they vandalized it. Oh, but in the same time, the road is that everybody, you know,

01:04:13.860 they hate crimed them. Like imagine thinking that you, um, this is a violation of your human rights

01:04:22.900 to have somebody spray paint some overpriced public art on the road. Like this, this should affect you,

01:04:32.500 even if you were in the LGBTQ and all the other letters plus sign divided sign world. If you are in 0.90

01:04:40.020 that universe, somebody spray painting a crosswalk, how does that harm you? Like, I don't, I don't

01:04:48.420 understand that this means you still have to fight for your rights. It just means that some kids had a

01:04:53.840 can of spray paint. Like we don't, we don't even know. This is a hate crime, but the, but the 40 and

01:05:04.420 something churches that burned out, that was not a right crime. Okay. That's a, that makes sense.

01:05:11.860 That's a, that's a, that's a really great point. By the way, what are they scratching out here?

01:05:17.240 The white. So I guess they're, they didn't scratch out anything else. Like they didn't scratch out. 0.82

01:05:22.320 Is this like a anti white gay people crime? Is it? They scratched at the white and the pink. So I 0.97

01:05:29.820 think what's the pink that female, I guess we are concerned about gender stereotypes. We are

01:05:35.740 enforcing gender stereotypes. If the pink line represents females, um, in the LGBTQ sphere,

01:05:44.200 although I'm reliably informed that that's a gender stereotype that we shouldn't enforce.

01:05:49.500 And then the white represents like white people, I guess. So they scratched out white people and 0.85

01:05:55.380 women. So what were their intentions here? I don't know. I would, I prefer not to know.

01:06:03.460 Probably nothing. The point is probably nothing. It's just some kids with a can of spray paint who

01:06:10.340 probably would have did this because they knew that people like Jordan Kent would get on the internet

01:06:17.100 and be real upset for some reason.

01:06:19.920 Mm-hmm. It's just like, it just, I, some people are, and he mentioned that we need to fight for our

01:06:30.120 right and freedom. But, um, before you didn't touch the children, there was no fight to have with

01:06:37.940 nobody because everybody was like, like living their life normally and not really bothering with like

01:06:44.520 LGBTQ, uh, LGBTQ, uh, I plus, whatever, because there is always been like a pride, um,

01:06:53.260 pride day or pride week or pride. Well, now it's now month and season, but there always been

01:07:00.000 a pride moment every year. And I'm sorry, I never see like backlash as we experience now,

01:07:11.460 just because you went after the children, stop touching the children. You will not have to fight

01:07:18.160 anymore for you. Right. And everything like that. Well, and it's the people who are sexualizing the 1.00

01:07:26.960 children that are hiding under the umbrella of the LGBTQ community. If the LGBT community would kindly

01:07:35.020 just push them out from under the umbrella. We, I think we'd all be fine. Just shove them out into the

01:07:40.220 rain. We'd all be good. We would know that they're not with you. And they would know that they're not

01:07:45.300 with you. And we would all just be fine. And we would all be just like, leave the little ones alone

01:07:49.560 or I'll join team Millstone pretty quick. And if I was like in the LGBTQ community as myself,

01:07:58.360 I will be like, so mad to see some people using like my community as a tool, political tool,

01:08:06.140 by the way, to push an agenda that are coming from mostly liberals and other like entity. And I would

01:08:14.920 be like so mad to see that. And I will be like retracting myself as much like, and just like

01:08:20.480 leaving myself as like, this is not my community anymore. I don't want to have nothing to do with

01:08:25.520 that. So please leave me alone. Yeah. Yeah. Also, I noticed in the rumble explanation of the show

01:08:34.340 today that we have a story that you suggested on these new stores. And it sort of touches on you made

01:08:42.200 mention of it a little bit earlier, but it touches on that idea of social credit. These stores that I

01:08:47.880 think it's all these stores that won't, which is like a convenience store, but like a, it's more like a

01:08:55.200 convenience store, but also a dollar store kind of idea. But also, but they have food in Europe, largely, I

01:09:05.100 think the UK, I've been in an Aldi store before. Interesting. But they don't take cash payment for food

01:09:12.840 anymore.

01:09:14.160 Yeah.

01:09:17.880 Do we have a clip?

01:09:19.900 You're going to be tracked and apt to buy anything. I'm going to buy some strawberries,

01:09:26.820 and I'm offering exactly the right amount of money here on the help desk. So you people take that

01:09:33.940 money, £1.90, and I will take my strawberries outside.

01:09:39.420 You can't take that. I'm going to call the police. You can't take that. You can't take that. I have paid, I have paid, I have paid, I pay by legal tender.

01:09:53.440 I paid by legal tender and I am going out with my strawberries and I'm going out with my strawberries and I'm going out with my strawberries. I paid by legal tender in this dystopian place.

01:10:09.680 Okay. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Because you should be able to spend wherever you want. This is an absolute joke. You want one, mate? Thank you.

01:10:23.440 We need more people like that because he's right. He's saying, I paid on a legal way. This is true. Since when we put money, not legal way to pay, this is insane.

01:10:41.360 Like the only money should always, always be a legal way to pay. So like the money, the liquid cash, I mean the cash.

01:10:54.940 Yep. So that to put that not legal to a store should not be legal at all.

01:11:02.940 Yeah. By the way, I was just doing some quick calculations there. 1.9 pounds sterling, so British pounds, for a pound of strawberries, $3.20 Canadian. That's really cheap.

01:11:27.060 Yeah, it's cheap. I know. I'm like, they don't have Freeland in charge of their economy over there, obviously, because their food inflation is not completely out of control. It's like five bucks and they're seasonal right now.

01:11:40.920 So like I can go to my garden and pick strawberries there, which is why I don't buy them in the store, besides the fact that I can't afford them.

01:11:48.380 But yeah, that's $3.20 Canadian for a pound of strawberries. It's a good price. It's a real good price.

01:11:55.900 Anyway, you prefer pickle than strawberry. Anyway.

01:11:58.860 I do. I made pickles over the weekend. So, so many. I still got to go and get some cucumbers on order from the Hutterites. I got to go get some more just so I can make it through the winter.

01:12:09.660 Sure. Let's get into these cats because they're way over time. Snowy Roof gives us five bucks. 0.99

01:12:20.360 It says, a person who says budgets balance themselves, how do you expect him to spend our taxes in an efficient manner?

01:12:27.460 It's true. He also said he's going to grow the economy from the heart outward, whatever the hell that means.

01:12:35.940 Scary.

01:12:36.340 Yes. Snowy Roof, five bucks. Sheila, you should be able to find a current bush on the side of a lease road to charge your electric vehicle. 0.93

01:12:45.980 Yeah. Yeah. Current bush, high bush cranberries, all those things. You just plug your car right into them, charge it up.

01:12:53.120 I'm sure that would work.

01:12:57.160 Fraser McBurney, our Fight the Fines recidivist from Hamilton, Ontario, and Fight the Fines Victor.

01:13:02.700 He had all of his tickets tossed out for protesting. Five bucks.

01:13:06.120 Name the one person who can't walk in public without being admonished by any member of the public.

01:13:10.440 Justin Trudeau. What a disgraceful person he is. 0.98

01:13:12.540 Yeah. I remember people being this, like the left, for reasons they could not describe, by the way, being viscerally angry about Stephen Harper. 0.93

01:13:21.280 They just hated his face for some reason, but they really couldn't understand why, because I'm like, your taxes are lower, the economy's good, we survived the global recession better than anybody else, thanks to Stephen Harper's strong management of our economy.

01:13:37.120 He didn't like to spend taxpayers' money on himself at all. He didn't have a taxpayer-funded nanny he paid for his wife or for his kids on his own, not like Justin Trudeau.

01:13:51.480 His mother-in-law didn't live with them on the taxpayer dime, like Justin Trudeau. He couldn't optically repair the mansion at 24 Sussex because he didn't want to be perceived to be spending the money on his family.

01:14:09.480 And that mansion now, Justin Trudeau refuses to live in because it's not fancy enough, and so now it's undergoing construction.

01:14:17.140 But the left couldn't tell you why they disliked Stephen Harper. They just knew the media and the liberals told them to dislike Stephen Harper.

01:14:24.660 But this visceral anger that you see out in the world directed at Justin Trudeau, people hate him, and they know exactly why they hate him.

01:14:32.240 If you ask him, like, why do you hate Justin Trudeau, they will tell you exactly why.

01:14:40.000 They'll say, like, he canceled this project, he taxed me on this, you know, he's chased this job away, he's done this, he's funded this.

01:14:48.540 Like, they will go down the list of reasons why they can't stand Justin Trudeau and why they hate him with a boiling anger.

01:14:56.380 It's very different. It's very different than what I saw, you know, eight, ten years ago.

01:15:03.340 But when Stephen Harper was prime minister, I was not really politically involved at that point.

01:15:10.460 And I remember just in Quebec, lots of people didn't like Stephen Harper.

01:15:16.820 I remember, like, in Quebec, lots of people were, like, didn't like that man.

01:15:23.640 And they were not capable to tell me why.

01:15:27.460 And you know what, quite frankly, Justin Trudeau, he, it's like he gives Quebec what they want, but he doesn't really understand what Quebec wants.

01:15:40.440 Stephen Harper, and there's, you know, there's data to support this.

01:15:45.380 When Stephen Harper took power, almost right after that, because he believed in provincial autonomy, you're the province, I'm not going to overstep my boundaries into your province, so you guys figure out what you're doing over there.

01:15:59.000 The feds are going to stay in our lane, we're going to do federal stuff, you guys are going to do provincial stuff, we're not going to meddle in between.

01:16:05.820 And when Stephen Harper took power, separatist movements both in Alberta, but also in Quebec extinguished, because of his hands-off approach to provincial politics.

01:16:18.880 And once Justin Trudeau took power, they both started to flame up again.

01:16:27.940 And it's because he doesn't know how to keep his grubby fingers off of provincial jurisdiction.

01:16:34.800 So, well, people, I don't think that was ever really well articulated to people in Quebec.

01:16:41.520 Like, look, Stephen Harper just wanted to leave you alone.

01:16:43.740 You might not like his politics, but he just wanted to leave you alone.

01:16:47.120 Justin Trudeau just can't leave anybody alone.

01:16:50.960 Yeah, and by the way, by an external point of view, how do you see Quebec, more left or more right?

01:16:58.260 I think it depends.

01:16:59.440 It depends on the city.

01:17:01.600 I think that, I don't even know if Quebec, you can even think about Quebec as left or right.

01:17:10.420 I think some of, like, the social policies in Quebec are very far left, and they've been far left for a very long time.

01:17:19.000 However, cities tend to lead the way on this stuff.

01:17:22.060 I think outside of the big cities, I think I'd meet a lot of people just like me, who just want to be left alone.

01:17:27.760 They love their guns, they love their small government, they love nature and living off the land and deciding how they want to live their own lives, who aren't scared of climate change, who aren't scared of COVID.

01:17:44.500 I think outside of the big cities, I think rural Quebecers and the vast majority of Albertans, we would be of the same mind on very many things.

01:17:55.060 And I think Quebecers were early adopters of telling the feds to get out of our business, rightly or wrongly. 1.00

01:18:04.620 And some of us are playing catch up.

01:18:07.320 I think Montreal is mostly left.

01:18:09.120 It's probably why Montreal is the most populated city, so it's probably why people think that Quebec is a tendency on the left.

01:18:19.800 But I think if you go outside of Montreal, a lot of people are from there, the right.

01:18:25.340 Yeah, for sure.

01:18:25.960 I mean, and you look at the federal government's attacks on the resource industry, they came for forestry first.

01:18:33.420 So, and that's a huge industry in Quebec.

01:18:35.800 And so, I think we understand each other.

01:18:40.400 We're just not good at talking to each other.

01:18:41.740 And there's a language barrier in between the middle of us.

01:18:44.280 And we also have the media that wants us to stay apart.

01:18:48.400 You know, we're easier to control divided.

01:18:51.200 And I think the feds and the media know that.

01:18:54.720 I love Alberta.

01:18:55.900 I love the people there.

01:18:58.080 You did it right in.

01:18:58.980 You'd do really well here.

01:19:00.100 You'd be so exotic.

01:19:02.680 Woo, I should go.

01:19:04.220 However, we do have, like, French-speaking communities here, you know, like, where we have our road signs in French, just outside of the city.

01:19:13.080 Yeah, Legale, Beaumont, there's lots of places like that. 0.67

01:19:15.960 And in the north, lots of French communities up there.

01:19:19.560 So, you know, you would do very, very well.

01:19:21.640 But yeah, like, one of these oil patch downs, they'd be crawling all over themselves to get you for here.

01:19:29.760 Ooh, coming tomorrow.

01:19:33.080 Just nothing but marriage proposals, for sure.

01:19:37.780 We are 20 minutes past the top of the hour.

01:19:40.600 Guys in the studio, do we have any more chats or are we all caught up?

01:19:46.380 Okay, great.

01:19:47.760 I guess that's the show for today.

01:19:49.280 We went a little bit over time.

01:19:50.360 Alexa, thanks for being my co-host today and being so good-tempered when I talk too much.

01:19:58.640 I like it, man.

01:19:59.660 I told you.

01:20:01.720 And thanks to everybody in studio and who works behind the scenes to make sure the show's ready to go and available whenever our viewers want to see it.

01:20:09.740 Thanks to everybody who tunes in.

01:20:11.700 And thanks to everybody who sort of engages in the civil discourse of the chats.

01:20:17.180 And thanks to everybody who pitches in in the paid chats to keep the lights on here at Rebel News.

01:20:22.680 I think for the next couple of days, we're just still working remotely.

01:20:26.680 Our construction timelines, as they tend to do, are a little bit wonky.

01:20:34.080 But we'll make sure that we have a live stream for you somehow, some way.

01:20:37.180 And as David Menzies always says, stay sane.

01:20:41.100 Stay sane.
