Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Toronto's radical new mayor, Johnston's final report, Feds want to push wokeness

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you have tuned into the daily roundup on this

00:00:19.220 a Tuesday, June 27th, 2023. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you a little

00:00:27.380 bit about my co-host. Folks, do you know that today is Spock's birthday and my co-host, she has

00:00:35.220 promised to set her phasers on fun. See what I did there? She is the she-devil with a sword. She is 1.00

00:00:41.780 the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is Sheila Gunn-Reed. How you doing there, Sheila? I'm great.

00:00:50.120 How do you know it's Spock's birthday? The usual website that I go to that tells me what sort of

00:00:54.680 stupid day it is, created by Hallmark. It doesn't have a birthday listed there. 0.98

00:01:01.680 Unbelievable. Isn't there a place in Alberta called Vulcan and they have Star Trek days?

00:01:08.180 Yes, there's Vulcan and you can go to Vulcan and you can put your head in like the little thing

00:01:12.740 in Beastbox. Actually, I have some pictures of me doing that. So you can go to Vulcan and do that.

00:01:18.040 But we also have St. Paul where there's the UFO landing pad. So we're going into that.

00:01:25.180 Sheila, you're preaching to the choir. I spent two years in St. Paul. That's where I started

00:01:28.580 my journalism career. I offended a lot of people because I called NASA on Florida, which was a

00:01:34.360 hefty long distance call back in the 80s. The kids don't know how great they have it today

00:01:39.400 with three long distance. But I was calculating what the weight is of a space shuttle. And if they

00:01:46.140 were to land it on that landing pad, well, it would crush the landing pad.

00:01:52.640 And it wasn't for them. It was for the aliens. Honestly, well, they're they're flying saucers way

00:01:58.700 something, too. I mean, I had to base it on something. Yeah, I got off to a really good

00:02:04.080 start pissing off people in my journalism career. And it's been a real love affair ever since. It's

00:02:11.420 also National Sunglasses Day. Yes. And I do know that my sunglasses divide the internet because

00:02:19.600 being from Alberta and being, you know, affiliated with the oil patch, I love me a good pair of pit

00:02:26.300 vipers. And people either love my pit vipers or they super hate them. So I get equal parts fan

00:02:34.000 mail on the pit vipers, but equal parts hate mail. And I don't care. What do those look like,

00:02:39.660 Sheila? Really? If you look in the Faye Johnstone video, I have those pit vipers in like 1.00

00:02:47.240 five different colors. Oh, really? Okay. Well, I'm a Serengeti man. I bought a new pair. They're

00:02:53.920 called Nicholson's. I absolutely love Serengeti sunglasses. And for my cycling, I have a pair of

00:03:01.380 genuine Oakley's. Oh, wait a minute. Those look a wee bit too big. I don't know, Sheila.

00:03:09.600 What comes with those? I love them. And because, okay, the thing about my choice in sunglasses is

00:03:18.120 exactly like my choice in wristwatch. 1980 men's. That's how I like my watches. That's how I like my

00:03:26.500 sunglasses. And so I can either fancy it up with like a pair of Oakley aviators or dress it down with

00:03:34.640 a pair of pit viper aviators. Because some days I want to be super Dave Osborne and some days I want

00:03:40.980 to be Evel Knievel, depending on how fancy I am. Sheila, with those shades, if you ever get tired of

00:03:47.480 this journalism shtick, you're halfway towards a career in welding. Those actually come with shields

00:03:54.600 that you can snap off on the side. I love them because when I'm quadding or working in the yard, I don't

00:03:59.480 get the dust on me. They're very practical and stylish. And again, I'll put you in the don't like

00:04:03.860 them box, but there are people, equal amounts of people who like them. And let's get on to what we're

00:04:09.920 doing today. Because we're neither sponsored by Pit Viper or Serengeti. So let's just move on from

00:04:16.420 there. This is the Rebel News Daily Roundup. It's hosted by my friend David Menzies, and I am the

00:04:21.320 co-host today, but you'll get different co-hosts throughout the week, wherein we talk about the

00:04:25.800 news of the day, obviously, as you can tell, completely unscripted. But it also gives us a

00:04:31.680 chance to interact with our friends at home. And you can do that by watching us on Rumble or Odyssey,

00:04:37.380 if you are still watching us on the censorship platform of YouTube. I'll suggest that you migrate

00:04:42.120 over to Rumble or Odyssey, although we are also streaming on Getter as well. And on Locals,

00:04:50.220 you can find all of our content there on Locals.com. That's an additional way that you can support us.

00:04:54.900 So we have a Locals community there. But on Rumble and Odyssey, you can leave a paid chat. On Rumble,

00:04:59.440 it's called a Rumble Rent. On Odyssey, it's called a Hyper Chat. That helps us keep the lights on here at

00:05:04.280 Rebel News. But it also gives you a chance to have your say. So put your question, comment,

00:05:10.060 whatever is in your heart. Maybe it's an insult. Vote for or against the Pit Vipers. Do it in the

00:05:17.260 form of a paid chat, and we'll read it towards the end of the show.

00:05:21.080 Speaking of voting, SheDevil, Toronto has a new mayor. I can't help but think of the slogan for,

00:05:30.260 there used to be a chain of Chinese restaurants in Toronto called Holy Chow. And their slogan was,

00:05:37.640 Holy Chow, we in big trouble now. No, it was not. I swear. So yeah, so if anyone thinks I'm being

00:05:46.700 racist, because everyone's so sensitive now, that was a Chinese-owned chain of Chinese restaurants

00:05:52.780 that use that slogan. And it happens to be the surname of our new Her Honour, Olivia Chow,

00:06:00.160 someone that brags about not having a driver's license. Yeah, think about that as you watch

00:06:07.600 new bike lanes go up already, all over this already gridlocked city. I wouldn't put it past Olivia Chow

00:06:15.440 to put bike lanes on the Gardner Expressway, assuming she's not going to tear it down. That was one of her

00:06:20.540 promises too. Sheila, I really, I hope I'm wrong. I pray I hope I'm wrong. I still have my, you know,

00:06:29.640 there's a bit of my heart that's still in Toronto. It's the city of my birth. I used to be the biggest

00:06:34.040 Toronto booster. I can't bear to see what's happening to Toronto right now. It's becoming

00:06:38.800 Portland North, San Francisco North. San Francisco used to be such a beautiful, beautiful place to

00:06:45.180 visit. Now it's a very neat place to, oh, I don't know, defecate on. This is where we're headed with 0.87

00:06:52.100 Toronto. I think under Olivia Chow, nothing's going to be done about gridlock because, well,

00:06:57.140 she's going to ride her bike to work every day. Yeah. You're going to, so you're going to see more

00:07:01.700 cycling lanes put in. You're going to see more of what we see in Allen Gardens right now,

00:07:08.860 which is a park that is completely verboten to the community to visit the normal tax paying

00:07:14.840 citizens because there are violent homeless people taking it over. You're going to see more so-called 1.00

00:07:24.040 safe injection sites pop up. So expect to, maybe what you want to do is keep your eye on the sidewalk

00:07:32.820 when you're walking so you don't step on a used syringe. Like I said, Sheila, I hope I'm wrong.

00:07:39.400 I don't suspect I am. In terms of the housing crisis, well, we've always been told that Toronto's

00:07:47.700 going to build more affordable housing. And that's exactly who I want, building more affordable housing,

00:07:52.800 Sheila, because the worst landlord in Toronto is the city of Toronto. You look at the city-run 1.00

00:08:01.180 housing. It's a disaster. So why not build more of a, you know, I think of, I mean, and also if you

00:08:07.780 look at our platform, Sheila, three of the planks are anti-landlord. So that's not going to spur on

00:08:16.600 more, I guess, organic growth by the private sector of housing. I have a friend, Lou Skeezes,

00:08:24.060 business analyst. He's got a great line, Sheila. There are two ways to destroy a city.

00:08:30.040 One is a nuclear bomb. The other is rent control. And you're going to see Olivia Chow double down on 1.00

00:08:37.840 rent control, which means nothing's going to be built. And also, one of her platform planks,

00:08:44.580 I was confused if this was something to help the homeless. She was talking about building more

00:08:50.080 wading pools, which you can use for about three months in the city of Toronto. And to show you the

00:08:56.020 folly of that, this is the last thing I'm going to say, Sheila, and then I want you to weigh in with

00:08:59.860 your Albertan viewpoint. At Yonge Dundas Square, there are these very interesting mini fountains

00:09:08.140 built into the ground. They go up two or three feet. So in a hot summer day like this, you see

00:09:12.940 children running through those little fountains. And it's a lot of fun, or it was a lot of fun,

00:09:18.660 because now at sunset, you see, those fountains used to run 24-7. But when the darkness takes

00:09:26.560 least, Sheila, the fountains stopped running. And I asked a security guard there, I said,

00:09:31.440 what happened to these little dancing fountains embedded into the ground? And he told me,

00:09:36.840 Sheila, at nighttime, they have to shut them off, because what was happening, and this is right

00:09:42.460 at Yonge Dundas Square, literally the town square of the city of Toronto, homeless people were coming

00:09:48.540 up to them, dropping their drawers, and using them as bidets. I swear to you. So Olivia Chow wants to 1.00

00:09:57.480 build more wading pools? Yeah, I don't think she's done the math. She better talk to the security guards 0.78

00:10:04.500 down at Yonge Dundas Square. Sheila, what do you think about Ms. Chow becoming mayor?

00:10:10.780 Well, I can't believe that's like one of her key issues is to build more bird baths for homeless 1.00

00:10:18.000 people. Like who's asking for more wading pools? Who's asking for this? I think you're in for like

00:10:28.480 a wild ride, because she's vowing to be even more progressive than Toronto is already. And that would 0.99

00:10:36.420 be very hard to do. I always joke that Edmonton is Toronto West, but it seems to me that Toronto is

00:10:44.140 quickly going to become like Seattle East. But the idea that you have a fully grown adult woman 0.98

00:10:55.040 who's in charge of building the roads now and deciding city planning, who doesn't have the driver's

00:11:04.000 license, it is so perfectly left wing, that it is just chef's kiss. It's the same thing we see with

00:11:12.280 gun control legislation, where you have people who have never even used a firearm, making legislation

00:11:19.840 about gun control. And the gun control, like gun advocates, we joke, we say it's just like people 0.61

00:11:25.600 who've never driven a car, deciding where the roads are going to go. We said that as a joke. But that's

00:11:31.800 about what you're going to get here in Toronto. I saw, I think it was JJ McCullough, although I could be

00:11:38.620 wrong on Twitter, saying like, what is going on in Ontario? Because in Ontario, right now you have a

00:11:45.280 mayor whose greatest claim to fame is being the wife of another politician. You have a premier whose greatest

00:11:51.920 claim to fame is being the brother of another politician. Wow. And you have the prime minister, whose

00:11:58.820 greatest claim to fame is being the son of another politician. You are like the nepotism state at this

00:12:05.340 point right now. You know, that's a great observation. And, and also the idea of us being Seattle East, a bit of

00:12:12.600 perverse irony here. You know, in 1977, Sheila, the American League expanded by two teams, Seattle Mariners and the

00:12:19.520 Toronto Blue Jays. I never dreamed that in addition to sharing that birthday, Seattle and Toronto would

00:12:27.700 become, or I guess Toronto is presumably on the way to becoming Seattle East, as you put it. But you know,

00:12:34.260 what's fascinating? I have the list here of all the results. And as always, there's winners and losers.

00:12:41.180 102-person field. So there's 101 losers. But there's losers and there's super losers, I think. Now,

00:12:50.340 who came in second place was the, was Anna Bailau. She was endorsed by John Tory, who is the uber super

00:13:00.960 loser. It's because of his horizontal jogging with city subordinate staffers that were in this mess in 0.93

00:13:09.320 the first place. So, and he broke a promise, which is he wasn't going to endorse anyone. And about five

00:13:15.860 or six days ago, he endorsed Anna Bailau. Funny thing is, I've tried to scrum her, Sheila. She runs 0.99

00:13:23.400 away. One of my questions that the polite members of the media won't ask her about is she was highly

00:13:30.440 critical of, I think, the last great mayor of Toronto, which was the late, great Rob Ford.

00:13:35.640 You know, his substance abuse issues. Hey, we all have our demons. But you know, the funny thing is,

00:13:41.900 Sheila, I don't remember Rob Ford being convicted of drunk driving like Anna Bailau is. So maybe

00:13:50.940 those in glass houses and stone throwing, maybe Anna should learn a thing or two about that. 0.98

00:13:56.980 Um, another loser, uh, Mark Saunders, um, 8.58% of the vote, Sheila. This was the guy endorsed by,

00:14:07.120 um, Premier Ford. This was the guy, um, that we were tipped off that sneaky Patrick Brown for reasons

00:14:14.820 that remain mysterious, uh, was drumming up support for him, especially in Toronto's Tamil community.

00:14:21.320 So that sure gets my spidey senses tingling. And I think if we have to draw a line,

00:14:27.840 because we have to draw it somewhere, I think it is this candidate, Toby Heaps, 593 votes,

00:14:36.700 0.08% of the vote. Here's the, here's the thing, folks, when you talk about diversity,

00:14:43.320 this is the ultimate diversity candidate because Toby Heaps isn't even human. It's a dog. It's a 0.94

00:14:51.860 different species, right? So I'm looking at all the names, um, but below, uh, Toby Heaps, uh,

00:15:00.520 oh my goodness, Frank D'Angelo, uh, 343 votes. Uh, Frank's not going to like that. Um, uh, and also we

00:15:09.780 go all the way down, uh, uh, oh, poor Ben Bankus, 203 votes. So the dog more than doubled our, uh,

00:15:18.540 comedian friend's vote total, but get a load of this, Sheila. This has to stand out. There are

00:15:24.360 two candidates of the 102, Jack Weenan, who finished 101 and Daniel Ermia, who finished 102,

00:15:35.320 in other words, dead last, both of whom in terms of percentage of the vote received is, are you

00:15:42.400 ready? 0.00%. It's not even a rounding error. And I, and I'm only bringing this up, not necessarily

00:15:54.400 to mock them. Well, I kind of, I am, uh, mocking them because this was a joke. The idea that you only

00:16:01.080 need 25 signatures, uh, Sheila and $200, which is refundable after the election. I'm sorry,

00:16:10.940 something's got to be done. I'm all for open democracy, but there has to be some benchmark

00:16:15.160 to ensure that people just doing this for a lark. A lot of people, I guarantee you, Sheila,

00:16:22.320 the only reason they were running because they didn't even bother campaigning was that at a future

00:16:27.160 cocktail party. Oh yeah. You know what? Back in, uh, 2023, I ran for mayor of Toronto. That's what it

00:16:32.800 is. Right. Um, I think the, it should be a non-refundable deposit. And I think you need more

00:16:40.380 than 25 signatures. Um, because in the case of the last place candidate, Daniel Ermia, he only received

00:16:48.300 in total 27 votes out of 1.9 million registered voters in the city of Toronto. Sheila Gunn-Reed,

00:16:58.840 what is your analysis of what happened last night? Do you know what? There's a dog in Vermont that

00:17:04.140 actually won the mayor's office. His name is Duke. Um, and I would vote for Duke. I don't even care what

00:17:12.000 his platform is, but I feel like a Duke would do less damage to a politician on either side of the

00:17:16.940 argument. I do find it interesting that these, um, politicians who are so critical of Rob Ford's

00:17:23.580 lifestyle are the same ones, excuse me, advocating for these public shooting galleries for drug addicts

00:17:30.420 and the taxpayer to fund drug addicts. Like you got to pick a lane here. Are drugs bad or are they good?

00:17:35.780 Because I'm over here and they're bad and people are victimized by them, but they seem to be the ones

00:17:40.580 that want to like give them out. Would it have been okay if Rob Ford used drugs given to him by the

00:17:45.660 government? Would they have then been okay? I guess so. Um, but yeah, Ben Benkis, you know,

00:17:53.080 he did so poorly despite the fact that he was endorsed by the human monkey hybrid made in a lab 1.00

00:17:59.240 in Wuhan, China. I don't know if you follow Ben on Instagram, but he uses the Snapchat filter where

00:18:05.240 he's a monkey and he talks in a Chinese accent and he's the Chinese monkey hybrid. Um, but also not 1.00

00:18:14.180 only did the Chinese monkey hybrid endorsed him, but the Chinese monkey hybrids mother, which was Ben

00:18:20.700 in a wig with the Snapchat filter also endorsed Ben Benkis, but, um, well, you know, there's the, there it

00:18:27.520 is. Speaking of China, um, Sheila Gunn-Reed, I'm looking for where Mr. Gong finished because he easily, 0.98

00:18:39.100 easily spent $1 million plus in signage. You could not go anywhere within the city of Toronto

00:18:47.920 with sometimes coming across, and I'm not exaggerating, 50 or 60 big signs, uh, saying

00:18:54.780 vote for Gong. We spoke about this yesterday. Candidate number 44. How unfortunate in Asian 1.00

00:19:00.820 culture, four is the bad luck number equivalent to our number 13. Eight is the good luck number

00:19:06.540 to be 4-4. Oh my goodness. Maybe there's something, uh, to that superstition, but in terms of money

00:19:15.600 spent and votes earned, he received 0.41% of the, uh, the votes, uh, Sheila. So 2,983. Um,

00:19:31.560 what did he spend? Like a thousand bucks a vote? It would probably work out. Um, I would say more,

00:19:37.200 I would say actually more. And you got to wonder where, where was that money coming from? I really

00:19:41.440 want to see the audit. Where was that money? I would love to see the audit. Oh, me too, Sheila. Uh, so,

00:19:48.620 uh, our friend Chris Guy blew him away. Um, 8,001 votes, 1.10% of the vote total. And I will say this,

00:19:58.140 we didn't have time to do this story. Um, it didn't work out with, um, Chris Guy's schedule,

00:20:04.000 but I learned, uh, just a few days ago that Chris and his campaign went out of the way to buy billboards.

00:20:12.940 They went out of their way to buy TTC ads and he was denied. And especially in the case of the TTC,

00:20:20.920 in which ridership has plunged substantially since COVID, um, you've got enough money to burn.

00:20:28.560 You're not interested in people throwing money on your table. Uh, yeah, I know you're publicly funded,

00:20:33.420 but, uh, you should, if you're selling advertising, allow advertising. Uh, I, I don't see any kind of,

00:20:40.660 you know, advertising code, Sheila, that running a Chris Guy, uh, ad would, would breach. Either you

00:20:49.200 love them, you hate them. That's besides the point. The idea to turn down cash money is atrocious.

00:20:55.220 So, um, there we go. And one more person in the department of losers, and this might be 0.95

00:21:01.980 the biggest loser of all. Sheila Gunn-Reed, Selena, Caesar, Chavannes, 254 votes, 0.04%. 0.67

00:21:16.440 Who's Selena? Some, uh, newbies might be asking. Well, back in the, uh, first term of blackface, 0.99

00:21:24.580 she was a member of parliament and a bit of a potty mouth, a mouth as well. Uh, I think we have a clip 1.00

00:21:31.940 of our, uh, former colleague, Kian Bexty trying to interview Selena, uh, on parliament Hill. Uh,

00:21:40.580 I'll shut up. Let's roll the footage. This is unbelievable, folks. 0.80

00:21:45.140 But I, I really. Until he gets to your office.

00:21:47.420 No, we could, we could, you could keep going. You could keep going. So do you forgive him? I just,

00:21:51.900 I really have nothing good to say to the rebel. So I'm, I'm not sure why you're entertaining this

00:21:57.240 line of questioning, but you could go ahead. Just wondering if you, just wondering if you forgive

00:22:01.600 someone who verbally assaulted you. Anyways, have a good night. Thanks for chatting with me.

00:22:06.060 Are you done? Oh, the big guy's here and you're done. I can, I mean, I can keep coming.

00:22:10.340 Did you just call me a pussy? 0.99

00:22:14.640 That's not, uh, that's not a very parliamentary language of you. 0.99

00:22:17.460 Do you forgive Justin Trudeau? And so what?

00:22:20.300 Do you, do you use parliamentary language and your bullshit that you put out on? 0.99

00:22:23.660 I'm a man of God. Oh, you know what? Campaign ad right there. 1.00

00:22:28.780 Kian Bexty's best quote ever during his time with Rebel News, Sheila. Did you just call me a pussy? 1.00

00:22:35.860 That's not very parliamentary language. Uh, Kian is a fiery young man. And so it, 1.00

00:22:43.580 it's really nice. It was nice to see how calm he was because it made her look like an absolute

00:22:48.840 lunatic. Um, she was to her credit though, even though she is bristly and she has harsher words 1.00

00:22:56.480 for Rebel News than she has for Justin Trudeau or her fellow liberals who hung her out to dry.

00:23:02.040 But she was one of those liberal women who stood up to Justin Trudeau and she paid the political

00:23:10.020 price for it. And you can see it in the poll numbers in, uh, her run for mayor there. It looks

00:23:16.380 like the liberal vote coalesced around quite possibly Olivia Chow instead of her. No, I didn't

00:23:22.320 see anybody from the liberal cabinet or liberal MPs endorsing their former colleague. Um, they just

00:23:30.540 left her to hang dry in the wind, um, much the same way they did when she spoke up against Justin

00:23:36.480 Trudeau. She said he was like screaming at her and berating her. Um, and I think it's so interesting

00:23:42.780 to see that she's still this, uh, so ideologically blind where we're like, yeah, we're, we really

00:23:48.620 liked that you stood up to Justin Trudeau and still, she can't even say like, actually that

00:23:53.940 Rebel News, we're one of the few people who actually appreciated what I did. She still hates us. 1.00

00:24:01.220 No, you know what, Sheila? Um, I give her that point. However, if you're looking at politics,

00:24:07.280 if you're looking at a paycheck, um, I think she paid a price for speaking with her heart

00:24:13.380 as opposed to her brain. Um, maybe she could have worked behind the scenes as a member of

00:24:19.220 parliament to try to bring about change because she publicly criticized a black face. Uh, the 0.64

00:24:26.280 jig was up, but she would have been easily reelected in 2019. So by 2020, um, it'd be full pension

00:24:36.500 time, six years instead. Um, what is she a footnote, um, running for mayor of Toronto. Now I saw her 1.00

00:24:44.200 two weeks ago at the mayor debate. Everybody was happy to speak to, uh, Rebel News except her. I

00:24:50.480 politely went up to her and I said, you know, um, please, I I'd love to, you know, do a very brief

00:24:57.000 interview. And she said, Oh no, I'm so busy. I'm so super busy. This is like at a, a Thursday, uh,

00:25:03.600 night when it was pouring rain, I guess she had to go out and do all that door knocking Sheila

00:25:09.340 so that she could amass, um, 254 votes in a pool of 1.9 million. Uh, really Selena? Uh, I mean,

00:25:20.720 you had zero time and, and I, and Sheila, I was not going to be mean to her. I was going to be

00:25:27.140 fair to her. And, um, you know, I, but she, uh, she didn't see any kind of benefit for her

00:25:37.120 and buggered off. And well, the proof is in the pudding. You didn't even get 300 lousy votes out

00:25:43.380 of 1.9 million. What's next for her political career, Sheila? Obscurity. Um, that's about it. 0.97

00:25:52.280 Um, Olivia whispers in my ear that we should hit an ad break and then we'll go into this David

00:25:57.200 Johnston nonsense. And then, um, hopefully before we run out of time, cause I think David

00:26:03.120 Johnston's going to gobble up quite a bit, but I want also want to get to everything that's in the,

00:26:07.020 um, uh, YouTube headline, but I want to talk about the hate crime that occurred in Leduc,

00:26:13.360 Alberta, just a few short days ago. Oh yeah. The day of infamy for Leduc.

00:26:17.480 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. We should wear some kind of, um, like little ribbon. What colors are left right

00:26:23.700 now, Sheila? Anyways, let's hit that ad break and then we'll go into David Johnston.

00:26:30.800 In a world plagued by conformity where truth is distorted, freedom is a distant memory and Big

00:27:38.600 Progressives across this country are going out of their way to erase Canada's national identity,

00:27:53.460 whether it's cancelling fireworks or cancelling Canada Day altogether. If there's one thing that

00:27:58.880 these folks hate, it's patriotism. So why not support our independent journalism and stick it to

00:28:04.320 the progressives who would love to cancel Canada Day by going to rebelnewsstore.com and purchasing

00:28:09.140 some of our incredible Canada Day theme gear, like this shirt I'm wearing right now. Again,

00:28:14.160 you'll be supporting our important work and you'll be sticking up for Canada's national identity,

00:28:18.680 rejecting progressive cancel culture and saying, no, we are indeed Canadian. Again,

00:28:23.500 go to rebelnewsstore.com.

00:28:25.500 You know, Sheila, I just want to say about that 1984 book, Paul Revoche is such an unbelievably

00:28:53.140 talented artist. I mean, you could see by just a few of those screen captures of some of his

00:28:59.060 illustrations, I believe 30 in our republished 1984 book. You know, Sheila, quick story. You know,

00:29:06.220 whenever the family goes out to a, like a roadhouse restaurant, you know how they'll have some paper

00:29:12.540 and crayons. It's really for the kids, but I always pick up my crayon and I've trained myself

00:29:17.960 to draw a really good starship enterprise. I mean, Lady Menzo goes, whoa, you know, that's really good.

00:29:25.160 You know, and I, you know, I'm so proud of myself and I saw Paul Revoche's, I guess,

00:29:31.120 dossier of previous work and he had drawn Starfleet vessels and it almost made me cry because I realized

00:29:40.000 it was kind of like, I'm the best beer league player in the league. Right. And then Wayne Gretzky

00:29:46.440 comes on the ice and it's like, I'm putting my hockey stick away and I'm playing golf instead.

00:29:52.560 Right. I thought, I'm a nobody. I'm a nothing. This guy's a genius. I'm a ham and egger. And I

00:30:01.740 couldn't pick a better artist in the world, quite frankly, than to deliver those illustrations. Folks,

00:30:08.920 get that book. Even if you've read it, reread it like I did two years ago, I was shocked by two

00:30:14.980 things, Sheila. One, how good it was. And I had forgotten how good it was. And B, or two, I should

00:30:23.020 say, that so much of it has come true in Canada in 2023. It's chilling. It was chilling then when I

00:30:32.620 first read it. It was 1979, a full five years before the actual year of 1984. The only thing Orwell got

00:30:39.200 wrong, I would say, is the setting and the date. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. We have the Ministry

00:30:45.560 of Truth rewriting books now. Yeah. You know, like literally rewriting books, changing movies.

00:30:51.540 James Bond is getting it. You know, like we're there. Well, I didn't hear that. What are they doing with

00:30:57.640 Bond? He's too much toxic masculinity. And they're editing some Bond movies?

00:31:04.660 Well, they want to. Oh, my God. Not Bond movies, the Bond books.

00:31:10.720 Unbelievable. And you know, Sheila, it's funny, man. Yesterday on the 401 heading into the office,

00:31:16.200 I saw the most unfortunate vanity license plate ever on a Lexus SUV, Karen 007.

00:31:25.200 I know. I'm no longer using the word Karen as a slur, because I feel like it is a racist slur directed at

00:31:35.740 prickly white women. And I might be one of those. So I'm no longer using it. 0.90

00:31:41.680 I didn't think Karen was race exclusive. 0.98

00:31:45.040 I believe it is. Have you ever seen the term Karen leveled at anybody other than a white woman?

00:31:49.600 Wow. Well, I believe this lady was Asian. So but she was I mean, it cost her like two hundred 1.00

00:31:57.560 odd dollars to get that plate. I'm going to the Ministry of Transport asking for my money back,

00:32:02.780 given what Karen has become. Yeah, we should get to David Johnston, because he is Justin Trudeau's

00:32:12.080 longtime family friend vacationed in the ski chalet next door, I believe.

00:32:19.520 But totally, totally independent, former governor general who is assigned to be the special rapporteur

00:32:25.740 on foreign meddling, even though he was on the Trudeau Foundation when the Trudeau Foundation took

00:32:31.220 money from China. And he's the guy who's supposed to investigate completely independently

00:32:35.660 foreign money flowing to the benefit of Justin Trudeau and the liberals.

00:32:39.780 Oh, Sheila, shame on you. You forgot to add one more clause that the mainstream media always 1.00

00:32:47.300 uses when it comes to David Johnson, quote, whose reputation is beyond reproach.

00:32:53.900 Impeccable, impeccable. It's literally white.

00:32:58.540 Anyways, he's just a couple of weeks ago. He said, you know what? I actually can't be the special

00:33:03.980 rapporteur, not because I have obvious connections with the Trudeaus and a serious conflict of 0.90

00:33:10.980 interest, which is what a normal person would say. But he said, it's just become too political

00:33:15.820 because these opposition parties and all these pesky peasants are questioning my ties and my 1.00

00:33:25.500 inability to be independent. Well, he resigned and basically cried, cried about it on the way out the

00:33:33.560 door. But now this old entitled curmudgeon whom I didn't know enough about to dislike before

00:33:40.880 has released his final report. And by released, I mean hidden it from public view. So his report is

00:33:48.700 should there be a public inquiry? He says no. But even then the reasons for no are not going to be made

00:33:57.120 public. This is absolute garbage. This is banana republic stuff that they're doing to us. Set up his 0.99

00:34:05.540 selection was an outcome in search of a pathway to that outcome. And then, of course, you know, like we know

00:34:16.000 that when they selected him, there would absolutely be no public inquiry. But now we don't even get to know why there

00:34:21.020 isn't going to be a public inquiry. We're not even entitled to that information. Give me a break.

00:34:27.860 Sunnyways, Sunnyways. Remember that election speech in 2015 by Blackface? The promise this would be the 1.00

00:34:34.800 most transparent government in Canadian history. It's actually the polar opposite. Sheila, at the end of

00:34:41.600 the day, Blackface should never have offered this gig to Johnson. But there was still a way out. Johnson should 1.00

00:34:50.780 have said, with all due respect, Justin, I cannot do this. I know there's no conflict of interest. Nudge, nudge,

00:34:59.680 wink, wink. But there is certainly going to be the appearance of one. And that's damning enough. I decline with all due

00:35:07.960 respect. And now, I love the karma here, Sheila. His enduring memory is forever soiled. This man whose

00:35:18.460 reputation was beyond reproach, well, now it is a despicable reputation. He was involved in a whitewash.

00:35:27.840 He was completely non-transparent. He was, of course, in a conflict of interest. Close family friend of the

00:35:33.120 Trudeau's. Being part of the Trudeau Foundation. Having, I believe, his daughters being taught in

00:35:40.520 China. The conflict just oozes like slime out of the swamp thing. So, yeah, it's all on him. He just 0.98

00:35:51.200 had to say no. I mean, really, Sheila, did he need the money? Is that it? Are things that hard done by

00:35:58.120 at the Johnson household? But, again, it just goes to show you, never, never hire a Johnson to 0.68

00:36:06.480 investigate a dong. Wow. You've been working on that one for a long time, haven't you?

00:36:15.240 Yeah, that's where my opinion shifted from. I don't care who or what this old dude is. He can be

00:36:23.000 Justin Trudeau's friend. That's not a crime. He can be a family friend, next door chalet neighbor

00:36:29.660 yelling at each other over the fence that divides the hot tubs from each other in the Laurentian.

00:36:34.360 I didn't really care. You know, he was appointed by Stephen Harper, so there was the perception that

00:36:41.360 he was nonpartisan. But how could that possibly be with his close ties to the Liberals? I didn't

00:36:47.860 really care anything about him until he accepted this appointment to be the special rapporteur

00:36:54.340 because, like a normal person would have said, the optics here stink. This is completely disrespectful

00:37:01.100 to the process and I won't be involved in it. And David Johnson was like, yup, where do I sign up?

00:37:06.940 And that's where I'm like, actually, I don't like you. I think you're awful. And you are going to be 0.96

00:37:13.560 part of a fix on Canadians. And that's exactly what it turned out to be and continues to be. 0.69

00:37:19.720 Well, Sheila, I agree with everything you said except one thing. I didn't like your disparaging

00:37:23.840 tone towards hot tubs. As you may know, that is where I met Lady Manzoid the day before Valentine's 0.99

00:37:31.640 Day, 1988, in a hot tub. I think meeting people in a hot tub when you see them in an almost naked

00:37:38.840 format is a very good idea before you ask somebody out on a date. So I give a big thumbs up to the hot

00:37:46.840 tub community. I'm not a fan of sitting nearly naked in a tepid pool of chlorine and other people's

00:37:56.300 filth. It just does not even remotely appeal to me. Not to mention the humidity and the chlorine just

00:38:01.840 wreaks havoc on my head. Let's hit an ad break. All right. And then we'll go into segment three

00:38:08.960 about medically assisted deaths, if you don't mind. Fantastic.

00:38:13.840 Hi, everyone. How's it going? So I want to talk to you for just a moment here at Rebel News. We

00:38:18.540 understand what it's like to be independent, to try and get by without big handouts from the

00:38:22.980 government. Small business owners, business owners alike out there understand that like nobody else.

00:38:27.860 That's why we might be able to partner up and do something incredible, bring a captive audience

00:38:31.660 and new eyes to your business or your product. If you think we might be able to partner up and if

00:38:37.000 you want to support independent journalism while growing your brand to a captive audience, well,

00:38:41.880 reach out to us. You can do so by going to rebelnews.com slash advertise.

00:38:51.300 So, Sheila, you teased this at the beginning. Something about the day of infamy in Leduc, Alberta.

00:39:00.680 My goodness gracious, what happened?

00:39:03.920 Okay, let's talk about that. And then we should talk to how they are treating people

00:39:07.520 like they're just a bag of spare parts. But anyway, yes, their tragic, horrific thing happened

00:39:14.840 in Leduc, Alberta. Now, for those of you who don't know, Leduc is sort of, it's an oil field town.

00:39:22.540 And it's, there's a major, I think what Canada's, maybe Canada's largest industrial park, Nisku,

00:39:30.040 is just right beside. It's where a lot of the drilling rig yards are and fabrication yards and

00:39:36.000 mod yards and trucking companies, like where the supply side or the service side of the oil patch

00:39:41.260 exists is there. And we heard a very tragic story just a couple of days ago that black tire marks

00:39:50.520 were seen on a Leduc pride crosswalk leading to a police investigation.

00:39:59.080 There are no real crimes in Leduc that we're investigating burnouts on a street. Let's just

00:40:09.680 calm down for a second here. We called the police because there are road marks on the road. That's

00:40:20.340 where we're at here. By the way, this is Leduc. This is like, this is what people do in Leduc. And I say this

00:40:25.480 with great affection, because I'm from Saskatchewan. So we do much the same. But I think outside of

00:40:31.940 maybe Grand Prairie, Leduc is home to the burnout at a stop sign. You know, it's what you do. You got

00:40:39.480 a big truck, you got fancy tires, squawk them, why not? They just happened to have squawked them on a

00:40:45.500 pride sidewalk. And the police were called. Mounties were notified, like I can't even believe this is

00:40:52.200 real. Mounties were notified of the incident by the city. Okay, so the city, it wasn't even the

00:41:00.200 public, the city who was probably just like, so proud, popped their collars admiring the song, the 0.99

00:41:06.300 stupid crosswalk were like, Oh, it's been defaced. This is my favorite part in all of this, though, 0.99

00:41:13.040 because everybody is sure it's a hate crime. But they don't even know who did it or why they did it.

00:41:18.180 It could be you they didn't want to run over a pedestrian, because they were distracted by the 1.00

00:41:24.540 stupid markings on the road. They're looking at this rainbow barf on the crosswalk, and nearly ran 1.00

00:41:32.780 over a pedestrian and hit their brakes and left a mark. So I guess according to these people, you

00:41:37.860 should probably just clip that pedestrian and avoid a hate crime. But listen to this. Although it is

00:41:43.960 difficult to determine motivations of those responsible, until they are identified.

00:41:52.880 This act demonstrate a hateful and non tolerated attitude towards the two SLGBTQ plus community. 0.69

00:42:02.000 RCMP spokesperson Constable Sherry Lee Smith said in a news release on Monday. Okay, so you don't know

00:42:09.420 who did it, why they did it. You have no clue. But but it definitely is hate. What? Deputy dog,

00:42:20.140 what are you doing? Sheila, let's reverse engineer this back to ground zero, please. Why is that

00:42:27.200 multicolored monstrosity on the road in the first place? I mean, why I look at all the highway traffic

00:42:34.980 codes in our great dominion? When it comes to marking a crosswalk where you should stop? It is

00:42:41.380 exclusively in white lines of various wits. How did this become a thing? And it is a thing because,

00:42:48.700 you know, Sheila, about five or six years ago, in Aurora, near where I live, I swear I didn't do it.

00:42:55.700 The Green Goblin could never lay a burnout mark on that, folks. But I think it was at Young and

00:43:03.920 Wellington. Somebody did a burnout, presumably with a muscle car or a heavy duty truck. And Sheila,

00:43:11.580 the way this was covered by the local media, it was Aurora's day of infamy. And you make an excellent

00:43:18.520 point. How do you know this was intentional? How do you know this wasn't an emergency stop? How do you

00:43:24.120 know this wasn't a new driver that got a little, you know, lead footed hitting the gas pedal? I'll tell

00:43:30.500 what I learned from that story, Sheila. And it was a real shock. Here's the infamy. Not that there was a

00:43:35.860 black mark across it. But the fact that the cost of this, I'm going by memory, it was in the

00:43:42.580 neighborhood of $12,000. How do you justify 12 G's for that paint? And you know what, I guess they're

00:43:53.620 going to have to repaint the one in Leduc. And they're going to have a bit of a problem,

00:43:58.040 Sheila, because that is the pride progress flag. That includes the, well, I can't say what it is,

00:44:05.040 because you get mad. But I'm just so sad. It just makes me. But you know that feeling in your mouth

00:44:11.340 where you're going to salivate right before you throw up? That's what I get every time you say it.

00:44:15.880 And I think it's just thinking about it, but also the words coming out of your mouth.

00:44:19.400 Anyway, part of the pride progress flag utilizes the color pink for the transgender people,

00:44:29.780 even though they were represented by the original pride classic flag, because LGBT,

00:44:36.840 the T in LGBT is for transgender. But you know what, they're so super special. They need double

00:44:42.540 coverage and they're getting it. But here's the thing, Sheila, and I'm not making this up. There is

00:44:48.780 a worldwide shortage of pink paint. There you go. Thanks to the super producers. There's the

00:44:55.440 story. They're making a Barbie movie, and they've exhausted the world's supply of pink. So what are

00:45:02.540 the transgender people going to do without their pink color there, Sheila Gunn-Reed? Hmm. 1.00

00:45:08.680 I don't understand how you can run out of pink paint. It's white paint with a sprinkle of red in it.

00:45:13.840 If we, I'm pretty sure there's still white paint out there. And I know for sure there's red paint out

00:45:18.160 there. So, um, well, I would imagine it's this. I don't understand this problem. It's probably not

00:45:24.100 a popular color. You're not painting your house inside or out with pink. These, uh, you know,

00:45:29.420 these paint companies, they operate on an industrial scale and they make so much of a not very desirable

00:45:36.900 color. And when it's gone, it's gone. I mean, you know, you can't, you know, turn an aircraft carrier

00:45:43.840 around on a dime. So, um, and who foresaw the fact that A, there'd be a Barbie movie and B, they would

00:45:50.600 want every set to be painted pink. So I'm just loving this. I never thought I'd be so gung-ho on

00:45:58.360 team Barbie as I am. Right. Yeah. You're, you're pro Barbie movie at this point. Um, let's go to,

00:46:04.980 this was the one thing I wanted to talk about because that police statement is one of the 0.98

00:46:08.780 dumbest things I've ever heard of. We don't know who did it. We definitely don't know why they did it. 0.91

00:46:15.520 We don't even know if it was intentional, but it's definitely a hate crime. Thanks cops. Yeah. Um,

00:46:22.360 in the meantime, somebody call forensic files. Good job, Leduc RCMP. Um, let's quickly talk about

00:46:32.400 this organ harvesting problem that they have with MAID. And then we'll talk about the censorship

00:46:37.800 legislation that they want to use to force broadcasters to push even more woke nonsense.

00:46:42.680 Although we briefly touched on it the other day, but we'll talk about it again. Why? Because it's

00:46:47.260 in the headline. I don't want the email. So, uh, let's just really quickly talk about this. Uh, what

00:46:55.160 happens to the organs of people who choose medically assisted deaths, um, or, uh, euthanasia, uh, government

00:47:05.480 sanctioned suicide, if we're avoiding Orwellian speak. Um, so in Canada, you don't have to be

00:47:15.400 terminally ill to access medically assisted death. You can be chronically ill or in a situation where

00:47:22.900 treatment will not, uh, adequately. I forget the phrase they use, but the, the treatment is not

00:47:31.360 basically to the, um, I guess, expectations of the person being treated. So if you are chronically ill

00:47:38.460 or you can, you might have MS and you don't think the treatments are working, you can just say, well,

00:47:44.280 you know what, I'm, I'm sort of done with this. Um, homeless people, uh, people who are experiencing,

00:47:51.240 uh, chronic homeless, like chronic housing issues, not even homeless, but you don't like the

00:47:56.880 government funded housing that you're getting, um, uh, eating disorders. There was a bulimic

00:48:03.060 who took her own life. I mean, it's just insane. And the government now has said that actually,

00:48:10.620 uh, people who are mentally ill can access made, although thanks to public outcry, they've pushed 0.89

00:48:17.680 that back a year. Thank God. But you know, this horrifies me because people who are experiencing

00:48:24.080 acute PTSD that comes in waves, it can come instantly. And you might pick up the phone and get an angel of

00:48:31.180 death pharmacist because it doesn't have to be a doctor who says, yep, we got you. Uh, because they've

00:48:36.740 removed the, uh, wait time now, um, for a lot of, uh, illnesses, but you might get somebody on the

00:48:44.100 other end of the line who agrees to do to you, the thing that you want to do to yourself in that

00:48:48.240 instance that may pass later. I I've spoken to people who've attempted suicide before and

00:48:53.500 none of them are displeased that they survived their suicide attempts. And that should be very

00:48:59.740 important to note here. But another problem with all of this is the concern that people might be

00:49:07.120 too quickly offered made instead of, um, asking for it may be offered because a lot of the organs

00:49:16.260 of the people who are accessing medical assistance in dying are being harvested, um, as part of organ

00:49:25.500 donations, which should actually indicate how well a lot of these people are, if their organs are ripe

00:49:33.120 for harvesting that like that, that's sort of something that's in the background of this. You are

00:49:37.840 not riddled with disease and illness. If your, most of your vital organs can be harvested and given to

00:49:44.020 somebody else. And so it's very concerning what's happening here. You know, that's a brilliant point

00:49:49.860 you've made, Sheila. And again, more fodder to suggest they really haven't thought this thing

00:49:56.400 through, have they? They're in such a, an inexplicable rush to get people to check out

00:50:03.600 that for health reasons, as you prove with how good those organs are, there's no real reason. And maybe

00:50:11.880 they're going through a mental illness crisis. They can be talked off the ledge, but no, no, no,

00:50:17.580 just lie down. Here comes the needle. Uh, you know, we, we, we've got you covered. It's despicable.

00:50:23.920 Well, people who are on the cusp, who are, they're saying, you know, maybe I would be better off dead.

00:50:29.560 If you have somebody who comes to them and says, no, you have so much to live for. You have all

00:50:34.520 these people who love you. Um, we can get you treatment. We can get you help. That's one track

00:50:39.740 you can take with someone who's having those thoughts, or you can say to someone who's saying,

00:50:43.560 I'd be better off dead. And that other person says, well, you could help all these other people

00:50:49.400 through your death. Wouldn't that be great? Yeah. Now I'm, I'm somebody who like, when I die,

00:50:55.660 I'm going to keep my organs all squishy and gushy and healthy as best I can. And then just part me

00:51:01.160 out like an old minivan. I don't care. I don't need them. Take them when the time is right. Not when

00:51:06.720 I'm having some sort of acute crisis. And somebody says to you, you know what? You are experiencing

00:51:12.160 these suicidal ideations. You can help a lot of people if you weren't here anymore. Yeah. That,

00:51:17.200 that might be the shove in the right direction for some people. And I think it's tragic.

00:51:21.300 Shameful. And speaking of the feds and shame, uh, well, knock me down with a feather, Sheila

00:51:28.060 Gunn-Reed. The feds are proposed, uh, have proposed mandating woke requirements on broadcasters as C-11

00:51:37.160 becomes law. Wait a minute. You mean the broadcasting community isn't already woke enough

00:51:42.580 for them? Are you kidding me? I mean, this is why I have Syria satellite radio, Sheila. I mean,

00:51:47.920 as the late great Dick Beddows used to say about some of the broadcasters back in the day,

00:51:53.020 if they don't get off the air soon, I'm going to stop breathing it. And evidently it's not woke

00:51:58.540 enough for blackface and company. What's the, what's the scoop? You know, this, this is crazy 1.00

00:52:05.660 because I, and I talked about this, I think it was with Adam maybe last week. We sort of touched on

00:52:11.280 this. Um, there it's, it's beyond what is representative. Even if you care about that

00:52:19.640 sort of stuff, if you cared about demographic representation, um, as part of the CBC's license

00:52:26.980 renewal, the CRTC is requiring that CBC dedicate a minimum of 30% of its independent English language

00:52:36.160 programming spending to producers who self-identify as indigenous official language minorities,

00:52:43.320 visible minorities, disabled, or LGBTQ. Unbelievable. The percentage of dedicated funds will increase to 35% 1.00

00:52:51.840 in 2026. So I pulled the numbers when I was talking to Adam and it's well under 30% of Canadians who

00:52:59.220 identify as being minority. And that's self-identification as minority, by the way,

00:53:04.180 those could be furries in the mix for all we know, but this is over representation in the culture.

00:53:11.020 Um, and they're making it contingent on your license renewal. So if you, if you want to be

00:53:16.500 broadcasting, you have to be shoehorning, what LGBTQ characters into Murdoch mysteries.

00:53:23.880 So how does that make sense?

00:53:25.460 So Sheila, if the CBC were to run, say, uh, reruns of MASH, would, um, the character Clinger, 1.00

00:53:33.760 um, you know, qualify as an LGBTQ, uh, character? Cause remember he was dressing up as a woman all the 1.00

00:53:41.760 time to get a section eight, uh, and get sent home. Uh, of course, these days you dress up like that

00:53:48.060 and you're promoted to an admiral. He was pretending to be crazy. And now you're pretending to be sane 0.65

00:53:54.180 when you do that. That's right. But you know, the first thing that jumped out at me when you read

00:53:59.720 the lead of that story, Sheila was this, it's the English language CBC network that must be beholden

00:54:08.000 to that. Why is there a different standard for the French language, Radio Canada? Can anyone explain

00:54:16.240 that? I mean, is, are they playing, cause maybe that sort of stuff doesn't fly that much in Quebec

00:54:21.980 and they're playing the distinct society card. And so you get a, um, a get out of jail free card

00:54:28.100 because really what's the difference? You know, there's English and there's French, but evidently

00:54:33.140 there's some nuance here with the federal government that only the English service has to, uh, molly

00:54:39.560 coddle these regulations and not the French service. Why is that? A lot of things you can do in Quebec

00:54:44.700 that if you did in Calgary, you wouldn't be accused of being some sort of bigot, um, including, you know,

00:54:51.340 their ban on religious symbols in the public sector. Um, if you tried that down at Calgary city hall,

00:54:56.400 you would be, um, just scorched. Um, this is, I should read this from the government's regulatory

00:55:02.880 proposal. A lot of acronyms in here. Uh, the broadcasting system should serve the interests

00:55:08.060 of all Canadians. Part of this is recognizing and overcoming the challenges faced by certain

00:55:12.960 Canadians, including indigenous persons, black and other racialized persons, Canadians of diverse

00:55:19.140 ethno-cultural backgrounds, members of OLCMs. I have no idea what that is. I'm sorry. Persons with 1.00

00:55:26.540 disabilities, members of the two SLGPTQI plus communities, women. We're just in there women.

00:55:36.680 I don't know. I feel like we're in charge of the CBC. So I'm not sure we're, um, you know,

00:55:42.740 persecuted minorities down at the CBC. Catherine Tate can run the CBC and live in New York.

00:55:48.700 Um, anyways, and members of other equity seeking groups. What does that even mean?

00:55:54.320 Reads the government's regulatory proposal. I can tell you this, Sheila, I can tell you

00:56:00.340 one uber popular, uh, TV sitcom that will now never see the light of day on CBC is Friends.

00:56:08.300 I mean, you may as well be showing a propaganda tape for the Aryan nations. It's so white. So, 1.00

00:56:14.080 but the point I want to make is this, Sheila, if there's diversity in a series that comes along

00:56:20.060 organically or originally, whatever, I'm fine with that. Who in their right mind, what reasonable

00:56:25.720 person wouldn't be fine with that? But you know what I want first and foremost? I want good content,

00:56:31.820 not necessarily mandated diverse content. If I get good content and diversity is part of that,

00:56:39.820 that's great. But that is the prime directive on this Spock's birthday. Good content.

00:56:48.900 Good job, David. Great job.

00:56:51.080 I had the wiggle. Great job bringing the show full circle. By the way, I just Googled it and that

00:56:57.660 OLMCs, although I said OLCMs because nobody knows the acronym, it's the government's term for

00:57:05.820 official language minority communities. You know, all the more reason, Sheila, that people have to 1.00

00:57:14.320 read 1984, all these names of government organizations, just like in 1984, the Ministry of Truth.

00:57:20.420 Well, it's really a ministry of propaganda. You never, ever want to end up in the Ministry of Love,

00:57:27.480 Sheila, because you go to Room 101 and you get tortured to death with rats. Spoiler alert, I suppose.

00:57:34.160 So, yeah, you know, again, it's more of this draconian control of our content in the name of

00:57:45.780 wokeism. Much like, you know, and I have a piece coming up later this week, folks, and I went to

00:57:50.840 Pearson Airport to do some investigation. The Canadian Border Service Agency guards were involved in taking

00:57:58.060 in a drag queen strip show at Pearson International Airport because, you know, Pearson Airport, the

00:58:04.360 number one worst airport in the world yet, and I'm including third world airports in that list. 0.81

00:58:11.780 That's what we want to do to prevent lost luggage and cancelled flights and lineups that are longer

00:58:19.320 than the one for Leviathan at Canada's Wonderland on Dominion Day. Yeah, we want to take the border

00:58:25.620 guards off duty and treat them to a strip show by a frankenfemale. Way to go, Prime Minister Blackface. 0.92

00:58:35.620 Sheila, we're running out of time. Do we have any super chats?

00:58:40.680 Yeah, we do. We have a couple. Ableist SL gives us five bucks. Have you heard about the Japanese 1.00

00:58:46.300 government passing crappy LGBTQ bill? Sorry, I added the Q for some reason. LGBT bill that resulted 1.00

00:58:55.800 in an explosion of regressive leftist propaganda in schools, tanking the current administration's

00:59:01.240 approval rating. Yeah, I think this was unnecessary. So if you look at the left, CBC Reuters, they call it

00:59:09.020 a watered down LGBT understanding bill. June 16th, Japan, this is from Reuters, enacted a law meant to

00:59:18.960 promote understanding. What do you mean, understanding? Of the LGBT community, the critics say provides no

00:59:26.420 human rights guarantees, though some conservative lawmakers say the measure is too permissive.

00:59:31.020 Japan, the only group of seven G7 nations that doesn't have legal protection for same-sex unions,

00:59:38.920 had originally pledged to pass the law before hosting a G7 summit last month.

00:59:44.460 They said, the law stipulated that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity

00:59:50.600 should not be tolerated, but was changed to there should be no unfair discrimination. Okay,

00:59:55.880 so I don't see the problem, which critics say may tacitly encourage some forms of discrimination.

01:00:01.020 Give it a rest. There have been crimes committed by impersonators

01:00:08.240 in women's washrooms. Former Upper House President Akiko Santo told reporters after boycotting the vote 0.96

01:00:16.040 in the chamber, we must protect this man. It would be a very serious problem if this bill passed

01:00:21.980 and the trend became that it was normal to accept anything. Okay, so what they're saying is

01:00:26.840 there are times where you need to discriminate. By discriminate, choose, I guess, technically,

01:00:35.660 but really what you're choosing is the idea that there are same-sex exclusive places, right? If things

01:00:43.280 are exclusive, then you, by nature, the flip side of that is that you've discriminated against the

01:00:48.340 person you're not allowing in there. And what, by changing the language of this to say, yes,

01:00:53.940 there are some times, for example, where discrimination is necessary to protect the

01:00:58.500 rights of the other group, i.e. women and girls, then this is, they use the phrase

01:01:05.800 unfair discrimination, because there are times where it is indeed fair. It's actually protecting

01:01:11.640 fairness. And the left seems to be up in arms about this stuff. And I don't even know, like,

01:01:17.560 good for Japan. They did, I think they really did the right thing here. But Japan's got another 0.96

01:01:21.660 problem that they don't need to worry about this LGBT nonsense. 25% of Japanese people will never 1.00

01:01:29.340 get married or really ever be in a relationship. They have a problem of, they call it celibacy

01:01:35.880 syndrome. They're just completely disinterested in the other sex. I don't know if it's too much soy. 0.99

01:01:41.220 I don't know if it's the idea of that they're a very technologically advanced society. I don't know

01:01:48.800 what it is. But they have no interest in the other sex anymore. And they need to do something about it 1.00

01:01:53.660 because they have an aging, declining population, where people are not getting married, having

01:01:58.020 families, procreating, and they're going to have a complete and total collapse of their tax base,

01:02:03.140 because you need kids to replace that. And things are going very, very bad. That's where the

01:02:10.440 Japanese mind should be. You know, you're 100% right, Sheila. Japan is right now in the midst, 0.99

01:02:16.920 basically, of a demographic time bomb. They are, well, let's face it, a very xenophobic society.

01:02:24.720 It is almost impossible to emigrate to Japan. Which is fine if they were having kids. That's all 1.00

01:02:32.700 fine if you're having kids. Exactly. And they're not. And they have a very healthy lifestyle. So living

01:02:39.660 into your late 90s, that's not uncommon. So it's the upside down pyramid where there's more old

01:02:47.940 people on top and less young people. In fact, I read an article a few years ago, Sheila, I didn't

01:02:52.880 realize this. Japan is one of the world innovators in robotic research. And the end goal for these

01:03:00.340 robots is for elder care, because there's no young people to hire to provide the services aging

01:03:08.980 seniors need. I mean, can you imagine that? But what I liked about what you just read was the fact

01:03:14.600 that somebody had the courage, which we don't have with any politician here, talking about men

01:03:21.240 impersonating females. Who am I thinking about here? Oh, yeah. Busty Lemieux, the shop teacher, 1.00

01:03:29.180 who is obviously mentally ill, going to class with his Zed cup of breasts, which he claims a real 0.99

01:03:38.000 fix to him. Jeez, you know, Sheila, I'd love to ship Busty Lemieux off to Tokyo. Wouldn't that be 1.00

01:03:44.740 something? Him walking down the streets there? I could just hear it now. Godzilla heading for city

01:03:50.700 center. Godzilla heading for city center. Boobzilla. It would be Boobzilla come true. They would think

01:03:58.860 he was some sort of horrible robot gone wrong. Anyway, I wonder the effects of latent radioactivity

01:04:10.120 on those boobs. Anyway, let's might actually grow some. Fraser McBurney gives us five bucks. Last Sunday 0.95

01:04:17.240 on my way to our Hamilton Freedom Picnic. In all my life, I've never seen so many homeless people.

01:04:21.980 It broke my heart. We are fast becoming San Francisco. Who do we blame? Governments. Yeah,

01:04:27.280 there's a whole host of reasons why you can blame the government. Blame the government for not,

01:04:33.540 well, for a lot of these people are mentally ill, and they probably should be institutionalized. 0.80

01:04:38.320 But we don't do that anymore for some reason. And by the way, I read a whole book on how the study

01:04:46.640 that saw the that led to the change in perceptions about what happens in these institutions that led

01:04:56.740 to the institutions closing and then emptying these poor souls out onto the street. That was 0.98

01:05:01.060 completely flawed. It was a scam. It was a scam. David, I'll flip it to you. I'll flip some articles

01:05:07.120 on it to you. But it was a complete scam. The it was doctors, a doctor and some subjects said that

01:05:13.000 they went undercover in hospitals and said that they were manifesting mental illness. But once they got

01:05:19.780 there a day later, they said, actually, I'm feeling better. You should let me go. And they claimed that

01:05:24.860 they were continued to have been medicated and not let go as in. I'd love to read that. But none of it was

01:05:32.840 true. It was a complete flood study. And it changed the public's perception about what happened in these

01:05:38.440 institutions. And one person who was part of this study, they didn't include his data in the study, because

01:05:46.040 he said, they were really nice to me and actually felt better after I came out of there. So they're like, you can't

01:05:52.660 be part of this. The idea was that these institutions are actually doing a pretty good job. And they were sort of

01:05:57.500 evolving with the times and they were a compassionate place. It wasn't all like Nurse

01:06:02.140 Cratchit. It wasn't wasn't like that at all. Anyway, I think was set in the 1950s. Right. But, you know,

01:06:10.540 Sheila, there's another element here to Fraser's point. It's a political element. Hamilton is, of course,

01:06:18.200 in Ontario. And Ontario is not, say, Saskatchewan and Alberta, where Premier Moe and Premier Smith,

01:06:26.160 when they're being foisted upon with federal regulations. They're going, no, we're not going

01:06:31.720 along with it. We're not cooperating with you. Meanwhile, Premier Ford, his best buddy these days

01:06:38.880 is Prime Minister Blackface. Not a week goes by, it seems, where they're not doubling down to have a

01:06:45.840 presser. So as a result, there's no pushback. There'll be even less pushback, by the way,

01:06:51.300 with Olivia Chow as mayor of Toronto, in what's happening in our city. I believe the number is

01:06:57.540 somewhere in the neighbourhood of one third of shelter spaces in Toronto are occupied by illegal

01:07:05.500 aliens. It's the federal government sending them down to Toronto and Toronto not pushing back, 1.00

01:07:11.980 saying we don't have the resources and we have a homeless crisis. And that's only going to get worse

01:07:17.520 under Chow too. Prove me wrong, but time will tell. So there's that element too, Sheila.

01:07:23.720 Well, and we have a provincial government here who says that we will be forcibly incarcerating into

01:07:29.220 treatment violent drug addicts, which should do a lot to alleviate some of the public safety issues

01:07:35.700 surrounding homelessness. We're taking steps in the right direction to deal with the drug problem

01:07:43.060 that fuels or at least exacerbates a lot of the homeless issues. So, and we've deployed additional

01:07:49.620 officers to the downtown because the progressive cities aren't doing it. So the premier said,

01:07:54.920 actually, we're sending sheriffs. So you can, and that's great.

01:08:00.320 I think of the Tom Petty lyric, Sheila, you got to be cruel to be kind. Is it Tom Petty or did I

01:08:07.380 miss lyric somebody? I don't know. I think it's Tom Petty. I don't know, but it is, it is true that

01:08:13.860 is, it is discompassionate to lie to somebody and allow them to languish in misery. Uh, let's keep

01:08:20.440 going. Five libraries from Odyssey from Canadian Aussie says David Mendez is the Bret Hart of news media.

01:08:30.000 Yeah. The best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be.

01:08:35.600 Oh, that is so nice. My goodness. Bret Hart. I love that guy. And I loved his tag team partner,

01:08:42.900 Jim, the anvil night heart. I think that might, that has to be in my top three, like legitimate

01:08:49.280 non-gimmick tag team tandems, the heart foundation, even the name, the heart foundation, uh, just absolutely

01:08:57.980 fantastic. They complimented each other so well. And that, what a, what a, what a phrase the

01:09:03.800 best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be. I think Sheila Gunn-Reed says that

01:09:07.940 into the mirror every time when she wakes up in the morning. Wow, David, I joked with my friend Mike

01:09:14.580 the other day that I was going to see if I could find the, um, the background for like the early

01:09:19.160 eighties, um, WWE, it was WWF at the time, like announcer stage with the shag carpet. And it was like

01:09:27.260 blue and silver background. I was like, if I can find that without Gorilla Monsoon sitting behind

01:09:35.260 the mic, I would put that up in the background next time we did a, uh, a live stream together

01:09:40.540 just for fun, but I can't find it. I spent far too long looking for just a wide shot of that set.

01:09:47.000 Um, I might just have to build it myself. Sheila, don't worry, my friend, you've given me another

01:09:51.520 thing on my bucket list for when I win Lotto 649 FU money. In addition to the Batmobile purchase,

01:09:57.580 we will build that set my friend and spare no expense. You know what? I just, I just want the

01:10:02.360 shag carpet instead of my bare feet on the cold concrete floor. Like the shaggy carpet riser was

01:10:09.680 very enticing to me. We're still talking about sets right here, right? Yes. Uh, we're done.

01:10:17.080 Okay. Um, do we have any more super chats or? No, we're really done. Yeah. Okay. I better sign
