00:00:00.000 hello everyone and welcome to our daily roundup this is our opportunity to go through some of
00:00:20.500 the stories of the day and in the last 24 hours or so as well to highlight some incredible work
00:00:25.460 that we've been doing bringing you the other side of the story I'm very fortunate today to be joined
00:00:31.220 by someone and it's perfect that you're joining me today because one of our stories that we're
00:00:34.360 going to talk about right off the top you're probably the most sort of apt journalist to be
00:00:38.260 talking about I think you've spent the most time on that story Sid how are you doing I'm doing all
00:00:43.640 right and yeah of course we're talking about Sheila and that Lewis a tragic situation has unfolded but
00:00:48.080 I'm sure we'll get into that in a moment yeah let's go through some of the nuts and bolts and
00:00:52.260 we're going to spend quite a bit of time talking on this there's a lot of sort of angles to
00:00:56.040 consider this first and foremost obviously the human tragedy that has unfolded before we get
00:01:00.900 into that if you are watching us you are barely likely joining us on rumble odyssey youtube get
00:01:06.240 it whichever one of those platforms you're joining us on we are so happy to have you thank you for
00:01:09.900 being here thanks you for being part of this daily roundup I'm just going to encourage you guys to
00:01:15.400 consider shifting over to one of the platforms that doesn't censor free speech that doesn't control
00:01:21.640 what people say on their platform but instead simply gives them a platform upon which they can
00:01:26.480 share their perspectives um so rumble is one of those incredible platforms that enables that
00:01:32.520 the other thing that's nice with rumble is there is something called a rumble rant and that's a way
00:01:36.820 for you to engage with us for us to have a conversation effectively together you chip in a couple bucks it
00:01:41.620 helps us keep the lights on helps us do this daily show um and and we can actually engage with you
00:01:46.040 unlike the the big mainstream media outlets who only engage with their government handlers we actually like
00:01:50.360 talking to the people that we're working for and working on their behalf of as journalists you can
00:01:55.540 actually support us as well on locals.com if you uh subscribe on locals.com not only will we get all
00:02:01.100 of our usual content you'll get some special behind the scenes stuff as well so on that note let's get
00:02:06.580 right to the news of the day and that is that of Sheila Annette Lewis denied a transplant to her 1.00
00:02:13.480 vaccination status this is heartbreaking Sid if you can take it away you've covered the story like
00:02:17.860 nobody else tell us take take people for folks who aren't aware sort of when you first heard about
00:02:22.180 the story all the way through to now well first I just want to say uh of course Sheila Annette Lewis
00:02:28.340 has passed away my condolences sincerely to her family uh I can tell you obviously the journalistic
00:02:34.040 aspect of the story but of course she's a woman she's a Canadian like any of us she has a story she has
00:02:40.500 children she has grandchildren um I I can't you know tell you her whole story but uh what I can tell
00:02:46.880 you is the legal situation that she was faced with after her doctors through Alberta Health Services
00:02:51.720 contracted doctors uh they had denied her a life-saving organ transplant uh one that she needed to survive
00:02:57.800 and obviously well we hear about the news today uh so what ended up happening was in 2019 she was
00:03:04.540 diagnosed with a terminal condition and she became she began the process of going through uh transplantation
00:03:10.180 uh or receiving uh being on the list for an organ transplant uh after that the pandemic ensued and
00:03:16.980 she was therefore required to get the COVID-19 vaccine as prescribed by the contracted doctors
00:03:23.400 those who were leading the way for the transplant program uh unfortunately this is not something Sheila
00:03:29.760 Annette Lewis was able to do there was concerns about her health especially given her condition 0.84
00:03:33.540 uh and there's some stuff we can't talk about there because it's uh it was hidden by a publication ban
00:03:38.180 um but they denied her nonetheless and then legal proceedings ensued uh and Sheila Annette Lewis alongside
00:03:45.140 the JCCF brought a charter rights violation uh case against the AHS and the doctors involved
00:03:50.660 uh this was uh this case was brought all the way to the supreme court who declined to hear the case
00:03:56.180 dismissed it uh and sided with a lower judge who had basically dismissed Sheila's case uh but the supreme
00:04:02.420 court then added costs so the legal fees for AHS were then something Sheila Annette Lewis would have to pay 1.00
00:04:08.340 before the supreme court decision though the justice center for constitutional freedoms and Sheila Annette
00:04:12.340 Lewis they found out that she had already acquired natural immunity she had COVID twice uh meaning that
00:04:17.860 she had a natural immunity protection to COVID but still they wanted her to take the vaccine and not
00:04:23.060 only that then they asked her to take the COVID vaccine booster atop the vaccine that she would have
00:04:28.100 to take and so too would her family have to take the boosters in order for her to get the shot 0.95
00:04:32.260 then the supreme court uh dismissed her case and then she brought forward new legal uh action against 0.97
00:04:38.020 AHS and the doctors involved uh this was brought forward through uh Umar Sheik of Sheik Law um and
00:04:43.780 through this medical malpractice lawsuit uh they came to what you know is described as a satisfactory
00:04:49.300 agreement for all parties uh it's confidential we don't know exactly what the deal was uh that you know
00:04:54.660 what Sheila received there but AHS they came to the table they submitted they said yeah we're gonna
00:05:00.180 have to sign a deal here uh and unfortunately it was it was just too late uh it's been already years
00:05:07.220 uh years of Sheila Annette Lewis facing this terminal condition while going through legal proceedings to
00:05:11.940 try and fight for her right to have access uh and only you know near what's now the end of her life
00:05:17.380 did AHS come to the table and sign some kind of agreement um but of course it was too late um
00:05:23.220 and now of course our condolences to the family um and you know I it would be wrong of me not to tell you
00:05:29.540 that there are more people out there in Sheila that were in Sheila's situation that are facing terminal conditions
00:05:35.380 and being denied organ transplants uh there is one individual in Ontario who was taken from his family
00:05:40.420 uh because he he didn't take the vaccine and he needed to deliver a transplant to survive unfortunately
00:05:45.380 he passed away previously there are an untold number of Canadians right now who are being denied
00:05:50.260 these life-saving organ transplants because of their vaccination status and it's not just a matter
00:05:55.700 of being unvaccinated as the AHS has proven uh you have to be up to date with your COVID shots and
00:06:01.300 what are we finding out more and more every day uh is the the health risks associated with those same
00:06:07.700 vaccines um positive and negative you know I keep it YouTube safe I guess for the moment
00:06:12.980 um yeah exactly Garnett Harper he's another one of these individuals I can't tell you how many there
00:06:17.940 are out there uh especially consider a couple uh before Sheila and at Lewis there's an individual who
00:06:23.780 reached out to me from Manitoba uh suffering a similar situation where they required an organ
00:06:28.980 transplant but because of their vaccination status they were being denied and because obviously organs
00:06:33.860 are a scarce resource because there aren't that many doctors who can perform these surgeries there's
00:06:38.900 a very small group of assistants uh that these individuals can have and if they do want to get
00:06:44.340 that organ transplant and they go public about the fact that the doctors are saying well no you can't
00:06:48.900 well a large concern they have is okay well maybe they're just going to get taken off entirely and it's
00:06:53.380 the very same person you're you're asking for this transplant who is denying you because of your
00:06:58.100 vaccination status even if you then come to the table afterwards you've already broken that trust and this is the
00:07:03.140 person who's supposed to perform a life-saving transplant um so and and let alone all the
00:07:08.660 issues uh that arise you know with the pandemic and all of the delays in surgeries that we've seen
00:07:15.140 there's there's just so much wrong with the healthcare system right now it's it's truly incredible
00:07:20.260 and and Sheila and at Lewis is is one of the latest victims of that and it truly is a tragedy
00:07:25.940 yeah and it is absolutely heartbreaking the other sort of an angle I wanted to touch on with this
00:07:29.700 um is you had an opportunity to sort of grill at least ask a question to premier smith on this
00:07:36.340 and I think very often as of late whether it's like on addictions or human trafficking
00:07:40.740 or any of these other fronts it tends to be good news but on on this front I don't think
00:07:46.180 necessarily enough was done would you agree Daniel Smith said that she would defer to the experts
00:07:52.260 and that's what she did she deferred to the experts the experts let the time run out for
00:07:57.700 Sheila and at Lewis and then finally said okay hold on a second we've got to sign this medical
00:08:02.180 malpractice lawsuit uh we've got to sign something here and make this go away and that's exactly what
00:08:07.220 they did but it was too late and Daniel Smith could have done something here but she didn't um
00:08:11.700 whether or not you know she says she defers to the experts but she's the premier of Alberta
00:08:17.860 you're going to tell me that she can't do anything to save an Albertan's life well that's a tragedy
00:08:22.580 yeah well and I know I'm hoping this isn't the case but she just got off a whole massive scandal 1.00
00:08:29.060 based on the fact that she had sort of overstepped allegedly and spoken to Tyler Shandro about
00:08:36.900 possible immunity for folks resulting from COVID-19 then as an extension of that she might be concerned
00:08:43.860 about overstepping but frankly I mean the type of leadership we need is not leadership that is
00:08:47.940 extremely concerned about overstepping and is willing to let somebody perhaps perish in the
00:08:52.180 process while while trying to play those games so this is a spot where I think work had been done
00:08:57.140 um Jason Kenney was also saying all the right things leading up to um COVID-19 but then when the medical
00:09:04.180 critical issue arose suddenly he folded like a cheap tent so this is going to be I think the litmus test
00:09:11.460 Daniel Smith has been very strong on a lot of issues but all of a sudden it's evaporated it's gone away
00:09:19.940 yeah yeah no to say the least and you know let's not forget about the health ministers that are
00:09:24.180 involved right uh they they do have a responsibility in this too I mean they're here to protect Albertans
00:09:29.780 and Albertan health and of course this isn't just an Alberta issue this is a national issue um
00:09:35.540 there needs to be something done politicians need to implement something or act in some kind of way
00:09:41.460 instead of just you know taking a back seat and letting Albertans die the very Albertans who voted
00:09:45.620 for them um and you know one thing if I could I just want to say we did actually like I I was there
00:09:51.300 in person I was granted uh an opportunity to to interview Sheila in person at her home uh and her
00:09:57.780 family member as well uh one of her family members as well her son Darcy uh and and if I could I would
00:10:02.580 encourage you guys to go back and watch those videos uh especially right now the one with Darcy
00:10:08.180 because it's not just Sheila Annette Lewis and her family of course right now they're they're living
00:10:13.220 through the end result of this situation but even in uh asking Premier Smith about this when she said
00:10:19.860 she would seek a second opinion about Sheila Annette Lewis's case she said oh and she's aware of another
00:10:24.340 individual who might be going through a similar situation how many people out there are suffering
00:10:28.980 through this and many of them suffering silently because of you know what I mentioned before
00:10:33.300 is because if they do speak out well they are there's that risk or that that concern that
00:10:38.900 they're no longer going to receive that treatment from the very same doctors uh who are denying them
00:10:43.380 because how do you get over that hurdle um it's a very difficult situation for anybody involved
00:10:48.420 um and as Darcy said her son uh when I interviewed him is you know if you want to help reach out
00:10:54.020 there's people that are in these situations right now that are going through this you want to help
00:10:58.260 those people who still have chance um and of course you know if people are I'm sure would want to reach
00:11:03.300 out to the uh Miss Lewis and her family uh Miss Lewis's family sorry uh to to provide them with
00:11:08.500 assistance and again there's so many people out there that are being refused right now that need
00:11:12.900 help and if our politicians can do something about it they should be
00:11:20.100 well I mean ultimately no yeah you're back you're back sorry yeah and I do I do apologize to folks out
00:11:26.340 there for the last couple streams we have new equipment it's literally just in the mail we're
00:11:30.900 we're getting a little bit of feedback here and we're just trying to sort of it didn't happen forever
00:11:35.060 getting a little bit of it now so I do apologize for any lack of quality and sound new equipment is
00:11:40.020 on the way uh thanks to supporters like yourself so thanks so much for that ultimately here we just
00:11:45.700 like to say like uh condolences to this family this should not happen again it cannot happen again
00:11:51.060 and hopefully some of these politicians who did not do enough um to ensure that Sheila Lewis
00:11:55.860 received the care that she needed um are able to to take corrective action and to make amends this
00:12:02.100 is very much an extension uh despite the fact that there is some good news coming out of courts on
00:12:06.580 COVID-19 and everything this is an extension of so much of what we saw over the past couple years
00:12:13.060 where people were basically treated as second class citizens because of their vaccination status
00:12:18.740 so heartbreaking stuff our sincerest condolences to the family uh folks out there I'm sure we're probably
00:12:24.340 going to have some of this information available uh Sid wrote an article on this if you have friends
00:12:28.740 and family out there who maybe aren't uh aren't aware of what people have really gone through
00:12:33.300 haven't been necessarily sympathetic to unvaccinated people on their plate this is certainly a story
00:12:39.220 that you can share with them because it's heartbreaking it really is
00:12:44.660 no to say the least and you know I do hope more people pay attention to this story
00:12:48.260 uh because it it is ongoing Sheila Annette Lewis has passed away you know may she rest in peace
00:12:54.180 um but there are other people out there suffering and waiting and hoping that they can get the
00:12:58.260 transplants that they need to survive these people uh their time is running out for an untold number
00:13:03.940 of Canadians right now through our tax paid health care system uh I mean Sheila Annette Lewis was seeking 0.98
00:13:09.300 this transplant internationally because internationally there's a multitude uh there's there's plenty of
00:13:14.180 hospitals out there that don't require these same uh vaccine mandates for transplant especially for
00:13:19.620 someone who already had COVID and had natural immunity built up in her system um it it's it boggles the
00:13:25.700 mind that Canadians are seeking international uh support when all it takes is the the the signing of a
00:13:32.100 piece of paper and they'd be able to get that transplant here at home yeah yeah that's it's heartbreaking
00:13:38.100 and you see it time and time again the fact is within socialized medicine you see less innovation the
00:13:43.380 same procedures continue while new procedures become available people get left by the wayside we
00:13:49.300 often or you'll have progressives criticizing the American health care system because of gaps in health
00:13:53.700 in uh insurance for example or things like that but people suffer here as a quant as a consequence of
00:13:59.220 both the inefficacies as well as the lack of sort of advancement within technology but this is a heartbreaking
00:14:04.420 case I want to show you just a tweet that was released I think effectively just right after Sheila Annette
00:14:11.700 Lewis lost her life let's go to this liberal party tweet now this is absurd every Canadian deserves 1.00
00:14:18.500 access to health care they need when they need it how do you put this out right as this tragedy is
00:14:23.860 unfolding that's where investing to help strengthen our public health care system they're saying every
00:14:28.660 Canadian deserves access so what are they saying the unvaccinated aren't Canadian I don't even care
00:14:32.820 about the rest of the tweet yeah it's going to say generic health care stuff that's never going to happen
00:14:36.660 every politician has promised forever that is the liberal party attitude and that is why they're
00:14:42.020 probably not going to win the next election by contrast Roman Babber um the former I'm forgetting
00:14:48.340 I was a Babber Babber I always get those wrong um the former uh leadership hopeful um said the
00:14:53.780 Canadian Health Act forbids discrimination but Sheila Lewis was denied transplant because of lawful medical
00:15:00.420 choice her death is tragic failure on of medical ethics and administration of justice I'll work to
00:15:06.660 right this wrong until the last day of my career rip Sheila that is quite the juxtaposition isn't it
00:15:13.380 yeah and I hope Robert Roman Barbara sticks to that uh but and you know speaking of the liberal
00:15:18.740 party and that that tweet of theirs I remember recently uh Rachel Notley the leader of the NDP here in
00:15:24.100 Alberta I she said mentioned something along those lines as well in the tweet you know we need access to
00:15:28.980 health care for everybody or people Albertans shouldn't have to go elsewhere for their health
00:15:32.980 care needs or something like that uh and I responded to her on Twitter and it's like hey what about Sheila
00:15:38.020 Annette Lewis she needs health care she's not able to receive it at home and Rachel Notley blocked me on 1.00
00:15:43.460 Twitter um so I mean that that's the kind of mentality they have I expect you know nothing less from the
00:15:48.580 liberal party um they they are so blind to what people are going through right now it's like uh when you see
00:15:55.780 horses that have the blinders on that that's what this tweet is they're they're looking at a specific
00:16:00.740 group of people that is you know an imaginary you know minority sympathetic or group that requires
00:16:06.260 sympathy and they're advocating towards that it has nothing oh yeah there there it is and she blocked
00:16:10.660 me for that um like they they do not care um they'll say what sounds nice but realistic realistically
00:16:17.300 they don't care they let people die every day so I I I I see nothing when they post that
00:16:23.300 yeah heartbreaking stuff we're going to jump to a quick ad break now and we'll get into some uh
00:16:28.980 more sorry a little bit a little bit more positive news coming out of Alberta not perfect but positive
00:16:33.540 but a quick ad break

00:17:07.220 churches we have taken the documentary across the country to bring it to the people who lived the

00:18:37.220 well welcome back folks so before we get into this good news coming out of some Alberta courts
00:18:41.860 and we're going to take a look at a couple articles here on first off public health covid
00:18:46.500 modeling used to justify lockdowns was drastically wrong as no surprise to everyone uh nearly 90%
00:18:53.220 of Canadians responded and sorry go ahead no no sorry yeah um please keep going and i'll pitch something
00:19:01.220 sure nearly 90% of Canadians responded that they had suspected to contracted covid but were not sick
00:19:07.380 uh so sick that they needed to consult with a doctor according to public health agency of Canada
00:19:12.740 internal reporting at least 45% of Canadians contact contracted covid a far higher far higher than the
00:19:18.180 modeling used to impose lockdowns vaccine passports and gathering restrictions analysis of the report
00:19:24.420 use of public health measures advice and risk assessment that was first published by black rocks
00:19:29.940 reporter black locks reporter rather thursday morning the government used modeling suggesting 10%
00:19:34.820 code contraction rate in the populace would necessitate lockdowns to avoid catastrophic outcomes
00:19:39.860 in the health care system so they estimated about 10% it was coming in about 45% very interesting to see
00:19:46.500 how similar despite all of our lockdown metrics and everything the numbers actually wound up being as
00:19:52.660 far as contraction maybe not outcomes to countries like Sweden that didn't see their economies effective
00:19:57.220 and effectively uh affected and effectively stayed open throughout most of uh covid but uh what do you make
00:20:03.060 of this said well it just makes me think of an interview you did recently with the jccf uh please
00:20:09.700 remind me of the specific individuals uh but it was about a decision that was recently made in the courts uh
00:20:16.020 suggesting in alberta where some of the decision making was coming from adam can you fill me in a
00:20:20.420 little bit on that because this is what the story reminds me of yeah well and i think this is the question
00:20:26.660 is where is the decision where is the decision making coming from and one of the sort of downsides and
00:20:32.180 we're going to talk about this soon um but with the court proceedings that are largely now being
00:20:37.140 acquitted as a result of the ingram decision which we'll get to um we're not going to get the full
00:20:42.340 sort of uh exposure the full analysis of what happened because most of these cases are quite simply
00:20:47.300 just going by the wayside so there was a there was a lot of and i'm sure you saw this as well
00:20:52.180 monkey see monkey do during covid so ontario would do something or bc would do something alberta would
00:20:57.060 simply follow suit there wasn't a lot of evidence when pressed to present evidence and this is part of
00:21:02.100 the reason the ingram ruling went the way it did which i'll define the ingram ruling shortly fear
00:21:06.180 not um but it was that that politicians were effectively pressuring health officials to make
00:21:11.380 decisions based on political consensus not on evidence so there isn't a lot of evidence there
00:21:17.140 seem to be people saying things making random opinions sure they might have been medical experts
00:21:21.220 but time and time again we've seen that those outcomes were significantly significantly wrong it seemed
00:21:26.980 like it was just kind of oh this is what they're saying so we're going to run off that and then if you
00:21:30.820 asked who originally started the rumor they really couldn't point their finger in any particular
00:21:35.220 direction there was a shocking lack of evidence in courts for why these decisions were made and i
00:21:42.260 think we all could have predicted this um that that this was going to occur but it's good to see
00:21:47.940 everything sort of coming to fruition there's a lot of i told you so's uh rolling out one thing that i
00:21:53.620 did find interesting and this is this next article this is i don't know if this is a shift or what's
00:21:59.140 happening here but the cbc article this is the first time i think i've heard the cbc say this
00:22:04.340 want a covet 19 booster experts say most canadians should wait for updated shots have you heard the
00:22:10.740 cbc give any sort of hold up pause wait throughout all of this when it comes to vaccination
00:22:18.100 yeah no this is a rare thing but you know maybe it's just a matter of they want to get the the 2.0
00:22:22.900 version to people instead of the old version you know the old version had some kinks you know this
00:22:27.140 and that not to say that those kinks were positive or negative let's say um yeah i'm sure there's a 1.00
00:22:32.740 an updated version an updated version they would love to indulge in and we already bought all the
00:22:37.620 old ones we are we have 400 million of those sitting around you have to get the new one because it's
00:22:42.180 better um so yeah anyways that is certainly interesting but let's get into some of this uh
00:22:47.700 ingram talk we can't spend too much time on that other stuff on youtube i'm afraid so for those out
00:22:52.900 there who are unaware the ingram ruling was an individual a gym owner and a group of other
00:22:56.820 individuals effectively challenging the governments on a number of grounds they basically threw the
00:23:01.700 book at the government saying you've infringed this right that right everything most of what you've
00:23:05.940 probably complained about as far as your rights being infringed um over vaccination status and throughout
00:23:11.060 covid restrictions whatever it may be um that was within this case now interestingly the court actually
00:23:17.140 acknowledged that there were some effective tramplings of fundamental freedoms that did take
00:23:22.500 place but they actually said that was covered under the non-withstanding clause and this is where
00:23:26.340 some people are concerned so they basically said that was all actually fine it was okay that they
00:23:30.660 trampled your freedoms uh based on this but what they did see is that politicians were sort of
00:23:36.020 overstepping and overreaching and influencing the decisions of the medical doctor the chief medical
00:23:42.020 officer of health dina hinshaw and that's what the problem was that was a violation of the health act 0.69
00:23:47.460 now the concern there is is a ruling basically said it was fine that they trampled your rights despite
00:23:52.260 not having a lot of good evidence um that that should be concerning to folks and they're saying
00:23:58.020 it would have been better if an unelected official was making the decisions without any
00:24:02.980 political influence or insight whatsoever they're saying that's their principal concern so i understand
00:24:07.860 people out there being concerned about this i actually just had the opportunity to sit down
00:24:12.580 with chad williamson yesterday that report should be out later today likely we had a good turn into a
00:24:17.860 20-minute talk because we spent quite a bit of time breaking down the concerns by an extension of
00:24:22.660 this because i know lots of people there were saying this isn't really a win i have to say though
00:24:26.660 despite those concerns in practice a win is a win because we are seeing acquittals of people who've
00:24:33.540 been caught up in legal battles and facing serious prosecution just rolling out now so we saw pastor
00:24:40.260 james coast coats and pastor tim stevens effectively having their charges just dropped entirely now so they are
00:24:46.660 effectively in the clear as far as my understanding i'm going to be speaking with tim stevens very soon
00:24:51.140 about his story um and we're expecting it's not official yet so typically you don't want to report
00:24:55.620 on this until it's done but we are expecting uh for on monday for chris scott of the whistle stop
00:25:02.260 um acquittal there in addition to the lag was of mom's diner which i believe in red deer they're
00:25:08.660 expecting acquittal sometime in september so there is a massive win here categorically in terms of these
00:25:14.900 charges being dropped the other sort of concern here is with acquittals like we talked about a
00:25:19.380 little bit earlier you're not going to get the full sort of uh exposure of what happened some of the
00:25:24.420 internal emails uh chad and i uh chad williamson and i of williamson law you're going to want to
00:25:29.140 watch that interview because there was like jokes about don't mention that this is political within
00:25:34.820 emails that were going to be revealed within the courts um that are not quite there yet one quick
00:25:40.020 thing before i ask you to weigh in on this said and this is massive so i wanted to point this out on
00:25:43.380 point this out on stream chad williamson of williamson law he had 150 cases along with his
00:25:49.220 colleague uh criminal uh lawyer uh yoav yoav niv um they had 150 fight the fines cases i'm going to
00:25:58.180 give you a guess as to how many people actually were charged when all of a sudden done out of 150
00:26:04.420 tell me zero 150 and oh that is how bad this was there are wins taking place
00:26:12.340 we also talked about it in that interview and i'll give you a chance to go check it out once
00:26:16.100 it's out to get the full scoop is there going to be renewed remuneration rather is there going to be
00:26:21.860 sort of uh compensation for these folks will there be civil lawsuits coming up because for lots of 0.81
00:26:26.900 people uh well this this battle is far from over um at this point they're saying you know what i've
00:26:31.540 been vindicated but now i want justice said what do you make of all the good news well you know adam
00:26:37.060 i wasn't sure uh that we're gonna you know get this far into you know the impacts of the ingram
00:26:40.980 decision i believe it's called right uh however um i'm sorry to say where was the amnesty this could
00:26:48.340 have all been done already but you know what did it take it took hundreds of thousands of dollars of
00:26:52.820 legal fees uh and as you mentioned uh you know williamson law they do amazing work uh williamson
00:26:59.220 law i can't praise them enough they're also on the coups uh case as well helping many individuals
00:27:03.540 who've been affected by that charges and ticket stemming from there as well um those guys are rock
00:27:07.700 solid uh and i'm sure they're they're using the this recent decision as as far as they possibly can
00:27:13.780 to help all of these clients out um but yeah no this could have been solved already and it wasn't
00:27:19.540 it took a a pile of court proceedings to get this far adam that's uh that's kind of my take on it how
00:27:25.300 how do you feel about this well you know it's uh yes that that's that's it dead on is is we
00:27:32.020 the amount of you look at the court dollars the resources and chad and i talk about this
00:27:36.980 while other things are struggling you could have invested in say health care that could have saved
00:27:40.980 sheila annette lewis's life for example um but instead you've got all these courts set up uh real 0.98
00:27:46.420 criminals were basically getting caught and released now that that is changing at least it seems they seem
00:27:51.540 to be addressing that but uh yeah it's it's it's significant what is happening here um for sure and and it
00:27:59.300 shouldn't have we all know that we've seen it this entire time we could have told you that these laws
00:28:04.660 were unlawful not for the reason the court said but for the real reason that they trampled people's
00:28:09.060 rights danielle smith was right in saying that this is wrong and that these people should probably uh
00:28:14.260 receive amnesty that there should be some sort of immunity unfortunately whether it be alberta
00:28:18.740 health services whether it be the courts uh whatever it may be we saw the massive backlash that
00:28:24.180 danielle smith encountered for even asking a couple questions about this now most of that
00:28:29.060 backlash was from fake news from the cbc that they've effectively borderline apologized for but
00:28:34.260 they were sharing false information but this never should have happened yeah no it never should
00:28:39.940 have happened in the first place but there's also didn't they say that they weren't going to
00:28:43.060 disclose uh smith's uh ucp didn't they say they were not going to disclose um some of the coveted
00:28:49.860 decision making that they had decided upon or that the previous government had decided upon before
00:28:54.180 she got into office i'm trying to remember the specific headline there um but you know as as you
00:28:58.900 know maybe the guys think about that one um there's also jesse johnson from without papers pizza
00:29:03.700 uh i previously had a conversation with chad williamson about that case as well that they're
00:29:08.020 they're helping him fight on uh jesse johnson his restaurant was shut down because of the
00:29:11.700 covid vaccine passport bylaw he just wanted to treat people as equals when they entered his restaurant he
00:29:16.820 wasn't checking for the vaccination status that's not what he wanted to do and they shut him down he got a
00:29:21.380 a a a mountain of tickets as well and is he going to get his restaurant back i mean there's real damage
00:29:27.940 that's been done uh again you know we've talked about suicides there's people who've passed away
00:29:31.700 now like sheilinette lewis there's real damage that's been done and and you know what what's going
00:29:37.460 to come out of it at the end of the day are we going to have to face this again the next time you
00:29:41.220 know the so-called pandemic comes around as you know people are worried there might be one this fall
00:29:45.140 or next fall or whatever it may be are we going to have to deal with that again that's the question at the end
00:29:50.340 of the day and that that is exactly and we talked about that is just how safeguarded are your rights
00:29:55.540 when the government tramples them it goes through the court proceedings the courts are like well they
00:30:00.500 were trampled but it's fine given what we what happened even with all the new information you know
00:30:05.460 talking with john carpe in the first like week or two when they realized covid was was was dangerous
00:30:11.300 john carpe was like there is sort of a metric if a government suspects that there is likely to be a
00:30:15.940 massive pandemic there is a valid sort of notwithstanding to say listen we really need
00:30:20.500 to save lives but that that would have been if two weeks to flatten the curve was a real thing
00:30:25.860 we saw what two weeks to flatten the curve is it turned into two years to flatten fundamental rights
00:30:30.020 and freedoms in canada and that is the major shift that has taken place here and i think that i i think
00:30:36.900 that and as you mentioned before everyone knew that this was happening and and i hope people are awake
00:30:43.220 enough to know that if they allow it to happen it'll probably happen again there is a major concern
00:30:48.900 though with this ruling and with what we've seen over the past couple years that if there's a new
00:30:52.900 variant and things get bad and restrictions have to come back in uh it seems like the courts are going
00:30:57.700 to side with oh under any circumstance it's okay to violate your rights even if the evidence doesn't
00:31:02.420 pan out or there's very little evidence to present so uh certainly troubling uh who knows we we really
00:31:09.300 won't know until we see it again i for one hope and i know chad shared the sentiment as well that
00:31:14.900 there is significant and it's difficult to to take a court or to take a government to court uh ahs
00:31:22.500 whatever it be an institution um over these matters very often the courts like to defend their interests
00:31:27.780 and defend their governments but i'm hoping that there is massive civil action and there are liabilities
00:31:32.900 in place so that a government learns uh perhaps uh at the the cost of uh their bottom dollar that
00:31:39.860 you cannot trample canadian's rights certainly people can speak out in the polls i think if we look at
00:31:44.740 the last leadership race and this is where this will be a test for danielle smith um if she caves on 1.00
00:31:51.780 covid restrictions and allow allows covid restrictions back in and i'm not saying like let's say there is
00:31:57.060 another variant and she comes out and says listen if you want to wear masks and kind of stay away
00:32:02.100 from people giving advice like that i think it's okay for a government to do that the second i have
00:32:06.740 a problem with that i don't necessarily agree with it all but the second i have a problem is when it's
00:32:09.780 mandated forced people's lives are alternatively effective if she ever crosses that line we're 0.99
00:32:14.660 going to have jason kenney 2.0 so i'm hoping that that is not the case because on above other on some
00:32:20.580 other issues not all other issues she hasn't folded like a cheap tent so i'm hoping she's uh she's more
00:32:25.620 like a yurt than a cheap tent that's what we're hoping for here uh do you what do you think
00:32:29.620 though what's what's your sort of instinct i've had the opportunity to cover more of the stories
00:32:34.420 where she has been good um and has has stood up you've covered some of these more heartbreaking
00:32:39.380 stories particularly she'll annette lewis where she hasn't taken that stand so what's your perspective on
00:32:43.700 that it's it's difficult to say the least uh you know one thing i can say though is across many uh
00:32:50.420 platforms or areas of conversation uh someone like uh danielle smith she kind of uh she likes to 0.73
00:32:56.660 please everybody in a sense and that can be good that can also be bad um as she mentioned she'll
00:33:01.140 defer to the experts uh with the case of sheila annette lewis she she she didn't please everybody
00:33:07.300 in that scenario i can tell you um however she does aim to do something at least uh whereas trudeau or
00:33:14.900 rachel notley it's it's just pure silence it's pure silence it's you you petty insignificant you know
00:33:22.740 immoral you know runt uh that this goes running around destructing my way um or obstructing my
00:33:29.220 way that that's the kind of feeling that you get off of those people i can't speak you know 100
00:33:34.420 to danielle smith and her true character i think that's simply just a matter of time that will show
00:33:39.780 um especially because it's not just her it's her and the people that she's surrounded with
00:33:43.780 uh and i'm sure a lot of these people i mean how many of these people are from the ucp that have been in
00:33:49.140 the ucp for for i mean i would say decades perhaps but maybe not that long um there's there's a kind
00:33:55.460 of an in-house understanding that gets acquired and passed on uh and whether she'll break the bonds
00:34:01.060 of some of the preconceived notions of her of you know her her cohorts or whatnot uh well we shall see
00:34:08.260 yeah on that note we do have a video actually of danielle smith and a bunch of progressives are
00:34:13.140 having a hoot with this i for one thinks it's a good thing uh and there's not much to criticize but
00:34:17.220 let's play this clip of danielle smith saying we don't need a just transition in alberta because 0.98
00:34:22.100 we don't intend to transition away from oil and natural gas a sentiment i think most of
00:34:26.580 the people watching today can agree with but let's play that clip if we have it ready
00:34:30.740 we don't need a just transition in alberta because we don't intend to transition away from oil and
00:34:38.660 natural gas as many of you in the industry have pointed out the transition we're talking about is a
00:34:44.420 transition away from emissions it's not a transition away from production
00:34:52.100 there you go so uh for folks on rumble i think we may have cut away from you from a second we're
00:34:55.940 investigating i think it was a technical issue on there and i do believe that we are back but
00:35:00.340 that is the danielle smith that we need that sort of unapologetic um listen danielle smith i've
00:35:05.860 questioned her quite a few times about using language like net zero i'm like why are you even
00:35:10.660 talking like this and she's like well the industry is talking about it so i'm not going to tell
00:35:13.380 them no but uh i for one don't have a problem with saying if people want to buy renewable we'll
00:35:17.940 sell them renewable well we're happy to make money off of that but the fact that she just comes out
00:35:22.900 deadpan and says we're no we're not transitioning if we if alberta goes completely renewable let's say
00:35:29.380 we should still be getting oil out of the ground making money off of it and selling it to countries
00:35:33.300 that have lower environmental and human standards like the human rights standards the most important and 0.91
00:35:39.380 sort of responsible thing can do for the work can do for the world is export our responsible natural
00:35:45.460 resources and that at least on that front seems that there's no apologies coming there's no
00:35:50.020 retractions coming um that clip to me and probably to most of the folks here that is a good danielle
00:35:56.020 smith clip um despite progressives sharing that as though it's some sort of bad news and we should
00:35:59.940 be ashamed of not transitioning uh what do you think on that front sid well it is interesting i see her
00:36:06.500 perspective is one that comes from the the industry or the alberta stance of getting a product to market
00:36:12.660 basically um and however in the process of doing so she is kind of uh i don't know if this is the
00:36:19.380 right word to use but submitting herself to the 2050 agenda uh uh the 2035 agenda the the the world
00:36:25.860 you know decision or the world body has decided that these are the the environmental targets we have
00:36:30.980 to hit by x and y day to you know save the planet um is there a questioning of the science here i
00:36:36.020 don't think so i think this is just uh um okay we we agree with the mission we understand its need
00:36:41.300 for the you know the world to transition away from this and that uh we're just not going to do the the
00:36:45.940 just trudeau transition uh we're going to take it on by our own means and find a way that's more
00:36:50.660 practical uh which may or may not be a good thing but at the end of the day it is still the the same road
00:36:57.300 in a sense is being taken yeah well and i know i said that like we were talking about i did an interview as
00:37:02.660 well with a rebecca schultz the environment of uh or minister of environment rather and protected areas
00:37:08.020 um and i said like probably most of our viewers don't care about net zero rhetoric what they care about
00:37:12.660 is are you going to attack our jobs and i think as long as they preserve that uh sentiment that's okay
00:37:19.940 and part of the place that we're seeing this is is likely actually in practice is is on this moratorium
00:37:25.940 uh on renewable energy sectors um so for folks who aren't aware out there um there is a uh there is
00:37:34.180 effectively a six-month pause right now on projects taking place um and what that does this is projects
00:37:41.060 over one megawatt so whether it be solar or wind they're pausing those right now just a pause um so
00:37:47.060 that they can have reclamation and territory plans in place the the ndp loves to scream and shout about the the
00:37:53.940 lack of capacity and planning to clean up oil sites and how the government's having to invest money now
00:37:58.820 and the government is saying oh yeah well we're going to have the same problem with solar panels
00:38:02.020 in years um so everyone from from daniel's with the jot gondek is in agreement that they have to pause
00:38:07.700 and have a plan in place here but this is the latest thing that the ndp is screaming about uh we
00:38:13.220 do have one more clip of daniel smith though i want to do that and then we can get into the ndp reaction
00:38:17.540 to that six-month moratorium but let's jump to the one additional clip we have of daniel smith first
00:38:21.620 the technologies that will provide fundamental change in the future are technologies that will
00:38:28.180 provide the world with miracles of cheap and abundant energy all while reducing carbon emissions
00:38:34.020 and those technologies will come from the minds of innovators right here in alberta and they will
00:38:38.500 spring from here because of our geology because of our energy industry know-how and because of our
00:38:43.540 commitment to carrying out energy exploration and development better than anyone else this is the
00:38:48.900 story of alberta's past and present and future alberta is in a race to develop these game-changing
00:38:55.940 technologies we're competing with texas and colorado and norway and we will win that race so long as we
00:39:02.500 are not hobbled by the ongoing poor policy decisions coming from our federal government we don't need
00:39:09.620 a just transition in alberta because we don't intend to transition away from oil and natural gas
00:39:17.060 as many of you in the industry have pointed out the transition we're talking about is a transition
00:39:22.660 away from emissions it's not a transition away from production we believe industry has started down
00:39:29.220 a path of reducing their emissions while exporting more oil and delivering more lng i often try to tell
00:39:35.540 my counterparts in ottawa that out of a barrel of oil i believe you've now been able to produce something
00:39:40.900 like 6 000 different materials ranging from lubricants and petrochemicals all the way onward
00:39:46.820 to asphalt and other building materials and that to me is going to be the future that is why i have so
00:39:51.540 much confidence that as we reduce emissions we are going to be able to increase our ability to have an
00:39:57.540 imprint in the world yeah there does seem to be a little bit of that like kowtowing to the the terminology
00:40:06.180 out there but it feels like apologetics to me where and i don't mean apologetics isn't apologizing it's
00:40:10.900 like playing the game and defending a position um but there's nothing wrong with reducing pollution i
00:40:15.700 just don't want to and i mean we're talking about if we're going to reduce pollution let's talk about
00:40:19.540 like the massive sewer waste directly into oceans that you can see coming out of some coastal progressive
00:40:24.340 cities in this country but if we're able to produce more stuff and put out less uh emissions and
00:40:30.100 have cleaner air that's all positive i don't think anyone is necessarily uh opposed to that so that
00:40:35.300 it is a fine line though it is a bit of a balancing act between playing into their games and feeding
00:40:40.180 their rhetoric and this but the alberta government has rejected a federal emissions cap which would
00:40:46.180 limit our capacity to output resources um they have said that they will not comply with 2035 and one
00:40:51.700 thing that would be kind of funny and i couldn't care less about these sort of carbon emissions
00:40:55.540 caps to be perfectly honest but if we were able to see our economy grow if we were to both see oil
00:41:01.380 and gas and renewables increase if we were to export more energy as a province and if we were to do
00:41:06.420 it all at under net zero before the federal government could do that wouldn't that just be
00:41:11.460 the best albertans you are particularly concerned just as an aside happen to be able to do this i
00:41:16.980 don't think it should ever happen at the expense of jobs at the expense of industries any of
00:41:20.420 those other things but if there is technological advancements that allow us to pollute less and create
00:41:24.900 more i don't think that's a bad thing i think that's where daniel smith is trying to come at
00:41:28.740 this from but i i don't know maybe i'm being too uh too optimistic with that it is it is the language
00:41:34.100 of the world economic forum that is here anyways well let me just say uh recently i saw some news that
00:41:39.780 there's uh you know those paper straws that you know we uh no one loved because they replaced the
00:41:45.220 the plastic ones uh you know and more environmentally it's coming it's one of our stories
00:41:49.540 yeah yeah exactly the the paper straws that they used because they're more environmentally friendly
00:41:56.820 they implemented this you know to save the planet uh it turns out they've got what a bunch of toxic
00:42:01.620 chemicals in them so you know congratulations that paper straw that's been decomposing or pardon me
00:42:07.300 that's been uh uh uh uh what would you call it not evaporating uh decomposing thank you very much
00:42:13.620 into your you know your tim hortons ice cappuccino you know or whatever it may be it's decomposing toxic
00:42:19.140 chemicals into your body great job you know and that's the benefit of the environmental movement is
00:42:23.700 they're willing to you know take on issues that aren't really issues and end up doing more damage to
00:42:28.820 everybody like this is the the the the playbook at this point um so am i surprised not really um but
00:42:37.620 i'm glad we could do a little public service announcement here to make sure you know people know that
00:42:41.220 you're not saving the environment you're literally just killing yourself uh when you drink out of a
00:42:45.140 paper straw progressives taking on issues that aren't issues one issue at a time uh yeah that's
00:42:51.060 funny and i mean we've talked about this before but you and daniel said touch on it in that video
00:42:54.820 the petroleum byproducts it's like everyone ever not long ago even environmentalists were like heralding
00:43:00.660 oh these like these magical byproducts that like we're not we're not wasting any part of this
00:43:06.420 process if we can't use it for fuel we can use it for for plastics the kayaks that the hippies paddle 0.97
00:43:12.420 up to protest oil rigs on are made out of petroleum byproducts like it the product is there we were
00:43:17.700 just switching away from paper bags to plastics because we had them anyways we didn't have to cut
00:43:22.660 down trees now we're switching back we're jumping all over the place but yeah i've i've been uh just on
00:43:28.500 i don't think anyone who has like these paper straws that fall apart cares in any way shape or form
00:43:34.420 about the quality of their food um because it tastes awful it makes everything taste absolutely
00:43:40.500 dreadful you can get a deluxe fancy uh cappuccino whatever the heck you want to call it you put one
00:43:45.140 of these straws into it it tastes like you're drinking it through a newspaper it's absolutely
00:43:48.500 terrible so look honestly uh and we can you know hop on after this but i uh when they introduced these
00:43:55.220 paper straws uh tim hortons look they're not the best they're not good um but i do every once in a
00:44:01.300 while have enjoyed the iced cappuccinos i think as most canadians have it's a very common thing
00:44:05.780 around here when they introduced the paper straws i simply stopped buying iced cappuccinos that drink
00:44:11.780 i used to love even though it was horrible for me i just simply stopped drinking it because of the
00:44:15.460 paper straw and you know this reminds me too in order to save the planet or whatever the reason was
00:44:20.260 uh they changed the lids on their coffee cups i know this is a small you know whatever issue but they
00:44:25.220 made it less productive it made it drip more on your mouth it was just worse people were complaining
00:44:30.340 about it but they simply don't care they implement things that are worse simply because it's better
00:44:36.820 for the environment or it'll save your life in the long term and this is a famously we we i generally
00:44:43.220 don't drink tim's i worked there for years but i generally don't drink it because of their anti-oil
00:44:47.620 position occasionally if it's the only thing in a small town whatever but you look at as they bring in
00:44:52.260 more and more fancy drinks they're anti-oil but they're getting more and more plastic cups
00:44:56.580 so they're moving away from straws but they're bringing in more entire plastic cups yeah no they
00:45:02.100 they don't want you to use plastic forks or plastic straws but they want you to basically eat a bile of
00:45:06.660 oil like that that's for most food agencies right that are they're implementing these yeah okay we're
00:45:13.140 going to fly through a whole bunch of articles right now because we've got so much to get to and we
00:45:16.980 do need to get to at least one more ad break but i do want to touch on this we i think we touched on
00:45:20.820 this last time we talked but nagwan alganid a uh mla here in alberta has shared this study basically
00:45:27.620 revealing that uh they suspect 33 billion uh will be lost as a result of this uh six month pause
00:45:35.140 24 000 jobs and 118 projects now this this independent quote-unquote think tank that put this out
00:45:42.820 um 33 billion i mean first of all the ndp saying anything about jobs i i asked rebecca schultz about the
00:45:49.380 jobs and the costs and what could potentially happen because this is a valid concern but this
00:45:53.700 is a government that couldn't care less when hundreds and thousands of people lose their oil
00:45:57.300 jobs they seem to rejoice at those industries shutting down so they don't get to say anything
00:46:01.300 about all these jobs the other thing too is this is a six month pause it doesn't affect any existing
00:46:06.340 contracts and these projects can get rolling once there is a groundwork in place so the suggestion
00:46:11.780 that this is all completely shot and foot is gone apparently 23 000 of these those jobs i was i was
00:46:17.060 reading somewhere are like projected temporary construction jobs now those are still jobs i'm
00:46:21.620 not subtracting that but they're taking the most exaggerative language and there's been estimations
00:46:26.180 that the 2035 agenda that the ndp would love would have a total 1.7 billion trillion dollar rather cost
00:46:32.980 with hundreds of billions potentially coming out of alberta um so they're going to pretend to be
00:46:37.460 concerned about this one niche instant with a minor pause and then they're celebrating absolutely
00:46:42.500 everything else um she also shared this tweet by asad razouk i hope i'm pronouncing that right um
00:46:49.780 and they're they're citing california the place that just had effectively rolling brownouts and you
00:46:53.860 couldn't charge your tesla as a place that is on track to 100 renewables and zero carbon by 2045
00:47:00.260 so california can do 2045 china can do 2060 alberta has to do 2035 because but if you look at this
00:47:08.180 solar has gone up but everything else has effectively plateaued if you're looking at the
00:47:11.860 numbers here so this utility level solar has gone up that is specifically the type of technology where
00:47:17.060 if it's not sunny your grid basically goes down dramatically and you don't have enough power
00:47:22.740 unlike california which parts of california can get cold but we need reliable energy during our
00:47:27.700 winters quite simply to survive and they're saying look at this warm place that has rolling brownouts 0.99
00:47:32.820 and people can't charge their cars we should be more like them this is their mentality they look
00:47:36.660 at the laws and the energy policies of a place like california a place that people are fleeing to
00:47:42.740 fleeing from rather to texas and everywhere else and they're saying we should be more like that that
00:47:46.980 is the mentality of the ndp isn't it yeah yeah no they they'll look to a place that has homeless cities
00:47:52.820 all over like they i think even worse than canada of course would be uh california and the the homeless
00:47:58.900 situations that are being dealt with there and they look to that and be like yeah that's what we
00:48:03.860 want that's what we need right there is all those homeless they see they're not using the power grid
00:48:09.060 these these smart homeless people are trying to save the planet because they're not on the power grid
00:48:12.660 that i'm sure it you push that ball far enough down the road that's what they're going to say to you
00:48:17.780 um that's the insanity of it people need energy to survive that that's the bottom line and that's
00:48:22.020 something smith did address uh is she is aimed at providing more energy for more people around the
00:48:27.940 world uh and this does provide very useful things imagine if you had free electricity versus no
00:48:33.300 electricity well that is a world of difference and that's what she's trying to provide for people
00:48:37.620 around the world what are these people doing yeah you implement your solar facilities right and
00:48:42.660 there's uh if anybody's seen the movie i'm sure a lot of people have by now uh was it uh planet of the
00:48:47.220 humans um and and you see the real destruction that's caused by these environmental initiatives
00:48:53.060 uh and you see the decay and the destruction that is left behind uh let alone the slave labor
00:48:58.420 issues and and where they're getting all of these rare materials from uh it's just a whole crazy can
00:49:03.300 of worms uh and they i i either they don't realize this or they don't care yeah it's it's surreal
00:49:10.500 um in other news just because we do have to rip along two more stories here and then we're
00:49:14.180 going to do a quick ad break then we're going to cover everything else we've got on the docket
00:49:17.220 um a forest lawn which is an area in calgary for folks who aren't aware a little bit of a
00:49:22.180 rougher communities in some areas um encampment cleared but bigger problems suggest fix only
00:49:27.460 temporary and we don't even have to get into this article too much but how how often we used to see
00:49:32.900 like oh yeah in la there's these encampments it's crazy almost every major city and even relatively
00:49:37.300 small cities whether it be uh colonna or whatever it is there's like encampments setting up
00:49:42.420 everywhere that we simply didn't see this is the new canada under justin trudeau and it's
00:49:47.540 literally like since he's been in power these things have become commonplace life is simply
00:49:52.180 unaffordable yeah no and that's the thing is you've seen the uh the loss of well you've seen the increase
00:49:59.300 of stuff like this let's say uh since the beginning of trudeau's time in office um and it's been a while
00:50:05.220 now the situation keeps getting worse he keeps uh creating people that he advocates for while
00:50:10.820 implementing policies that hurt the very people he's pretending to save um and this has just gone
00:50:15.060 on and on and you know every day we mention it and the polls are showing more and more now
00:50:18.820 people see trudeau as uh his time is over he's no longer you know going to be the leader of the
00:50:23.780 liberal party he's no longer going to be the prime minister and it is only a matter of time
00:50:27.940 um every day more and more people realize that and i'm glad for that yeah it's good also to see the
00:50:34.580 general sentiment as the shift away from trudeau takes place the shift away from progressive type policies
00:50:40.340 like decriminalization being soft on crime all that stuff that the alberta government and the
00:50:44.100 saskatchewan government and other places have started to reject um is is spreading and now
00:50:48.660 even british columbia one of the places that's been one of the safe havens for decriminalization and free
00:50:54.660 safe quote-unquote injections free drugs all that stuff um polling now indicates from our own alex
00:51:00.100 dolly wall i wrote up this article that decriminalization of hard drugs is unpopular with british
00:51:05.460 colombians so we're even seeing what this province that is among the most progressive and still
00:51:09.220 has vaccine mandates and restrictions in place to some extent in some areas um when i was in bc you
00:51:15.940 see more masks they're there in toronto than just about anywhere else but even they're saying no no we
00:51:20.740 don't need to decriminalize uh drugs so that is a shift i think in the right direction for that
00:51:26.660 province that has seen a lot of problems they're uh they're sort of they're in crisis mode uh all of
00:51:32.820 canada is when it comes to hard drugs but they are especially let's jump to an ad break really really
00:51:36.900 quickly now and then we'll get back and finish all the rest of these stories do you want to start
00:51:42.500 feeling like you're pre-covid self again you're not alone the wellness company spike support formula
00:51:48.820 is an all-natural supplement to help people do just that it was created by cardiologist peter
00:51:55.380 mccullough and his expert team of doctors to help the people experiencing effects from covet and the you
00:52:02.260 know what go to twccanada.health slash rebel today
00:52:15.700 and welcome back so i found this article interesting it's two articles from cbc that are
00:52:21.220 saying hold off on vaccines and now one saying that there's been circumstances like this in kelowna before
00:52:27.220 now looking at the number of hectares burned uh this year is one of the worst years on record um
00:52:32.260 the last year that was even comparable and it wasn't quite as bad um per hectares number of fires
00:52:36.980 different story but um was 1989 um but uh this fire so there has this is there is a pattern of
00:52:43.700 sort of bad fires occurring occasionally uh but this speaks to the fact that there hasn't been an
00:52:50.340 adequate response from the government there's despite these fires there's been cutting of funding
00:52:54.580 everything um and this article effectively dives into that there's the eerily similarly similar
00:52:59.860 fires 20 years apart and despite recommendations and advice and steps that could have been taken
00:53:04.580 to potentially alleviate and reduce the circumstance uh the government was unable to act but sid how
00:53:10.100 surprised are you to hear that the government uh came up short in uh responding to a need a serious
00:53:16.020 need that could have potentially saved um millions if not billions of dollars of property damage
00:53:20.340 well you say the government came up short that's a little redundant um i think i always come up short
00:53:26.260 uh especially in this scenario i mean and you see trudeau you know complaining to uh about facebook and
00:53:32.900 them blocking uh news outlets for uh the reporting on these wildfires and stuff like that when he himself
00:53:39.780 could snap his finger make that go away and say okay facebook don't worry about it we've solved the
00:53:44.340 problem media outlets can now post in full uh what's going on so even these little things like they
00:53:49.140 do they actually care about the situation at hand are they actually willing to do something about it
00:53:53.380 are they willing to spend the dollars no uh no they're absolutely not um and you know the other
00:53:58.900 thing is there's you know i guess the debate about are these wildfires uh intentionally being lit in
00:54:03.780 some cases and in most cases maybe perhaps uh just natural wildfires uh and that's the other thing
00:54:09.140 to remember is that wildfires are a thing that happens it's not like they're you know out of the blue
00:54:14.980 um there are preparatory needs that need to be taken care of uh and if these people aren't getting
00:54:20.020 enough of that or enough of that pre uh that support before these fires take uh uh uh hectares
00:54:27.380 and hectares of land away from them well something needs to be done to help these people before it gets
00:54:31.700 to that point yeah now on that note though we obviously saw i think four people around uh northwest
00:54:38.100 territories uh did did receive arson charges now and i mean this is happening around the world and there's
00:54:43.380 unprecedented fires and there seems to be whether it was the churches that we saw or the the these uh
00:54:49.780 these wildfires that are starting in some instances there are clear clear evidence for arson uh greece
00:54:56.180 has experienced wildfires as well and minister has a minister there has called out arsonist scum 79
00:55:02.660 people arrested with arson you know at a certain point uh something you notice starts to become a
00:55:09.380 pattern and when you're seeing sort of unprecedented mass arrests for arson's unprecedented fires sort
00:55:15.460 of corresponding with them um and it's not just forest fires it's churches everything like that
00:55:20.580 there seems to be a clearly politically motivated um string of arson going on right across the world
00:55:27.860 right now so that is something that needs to be addressed one thing i find incredibly interesting is
00:55:31.140 how mainstream media isn't reporting on some of these these uh arson cases uh being made often the
00:55:37.620 mainstream media outlets who are touting all of this and very quick to rush out headlines about how
00:55:42.100 this is global warming uh created they skip the part about oh and by the way there was four arsonists
00:55:47.780 arrested in the area right before these fires emerged so uh there is something there that needs
00:55:53.540 to be explored um we do i believe have folks headed to colonna to look into that we had the team on the
00:55:58.740 ground in maui as well so we're there talking to people getting the other side of the story learning
00:56:03.300 more about this so that information is available and we're doing our very best to get uh to get
00:56:08.820 those facts out there because i think it really does matter there needs to be investigation i know
00:56:12.660 in alberta there was a lot of investigations into unknown sort of fire causes with arson being
00:56:17.060 suspected so it'll be interesting to see as this sort of fire season wraps up as investigations unfold
00:56:22.740 just how like the statistical shift and how many of these are caused by arson instead of uh wildfire we
00:56:28.340 don't want to speculate exactly because we don't know but once those facts come out they'll be very
00:56:33.460 telling now if you're upset that justin trudeau isn't doing very well in the polls uh which if
00:56:39.380 you're watching this that's probably not the case but maybe you have a friend or family member
00:56:42.900 i suggest you go out now and grab a box of kleenex where you can because uh kleenex is pulling out
00:56:49.380 of canada uh the tissues you use to comfort each other will no longer be available and this story
00:56:55.220 in and of itself isn't necessarily the the story but it's the fact under justin trudeau like target
00:57:01.940 is pulling out and delicio is pulling out and kleenex is pulling out and all these companies
00:57:07.540 are pulling out of canada for a while there i remember when i was growing up like the united
00:57:11.620 states had a lot of stuff canada didn't have and then it sort of all came here and then justin trudeau
00:57:17.300 was elected and it all start sort of started going away how much of this do you think is just an
00:57:22.100 extension of the fact that this the the economy the environment that this government has created
00:57:26.820 plus all the legislation the red tape the bureaucracy is not sort of welcoming to businesses
00:57:33.300 well i can sum it up and there's a it with you know one interview i saw which was a man who was
00:57:37.940 an immigrant i believe from central uh america uh and they asked you know what was the biggest mistake
00:57:42.580 you made in your life and he said coming to canada um yeah you know a lot of people are feeling
00:57:47.140 that sentiment now especially over the last few years with justin trudeau it's just been getting
00:57:51.860 worse and worse and worse it's a money grab it's a trap for everyday people around the world to come
00:57:56.740 to canada live this fantasy life and let us you know let justin trudeau's government basically suck
00:58:01.860 up all your money through taxes uh he it's it's the state of affairs in canada is absolutely atrocious
00:58:08.260 uh and much like we're seeing companies pull out uh of providing their products here in canada so too
00:58:13.860 are i think a lot of immigrants and people from around the world they're looking at canada being
00:58:17.300 like hey it's not what it used to be and that's pretty much all because of trudeau well there's
00:58:23.460 there's been articles lately about folks going back to ukraine because everything's too expensive
00:58:27.860 here and they can't afford to stay here a country currently in the state of war they're like well i
00:58:31.700 can't afford to stay i can't afford a place in toronto or vancouver i need to go back home just to get
00:58:35.780 by i mean if that's what you're going through imagine what canadians who this is their home
00:58:39.700 we're going through and they don't have a place to simply uh free uh flee to so that's i mean
00:58:44.340 imagine fleeing to a war-torn country as your alternative being better than staying in toronto
00:58:48.260 or vancouver that says something in and of itself imagine being a federal government and hearing news
00:58:54.820 like that that immigrants from ukraine are coming to canada and then deciding to leave because they
00:58:59.300 don't want to be here anymore well your federal government did not take the necessary steps required
00:59:04.580 i mean they shouldn't have come here in the first place if they were just going to leave if
00:59:08.100 they saw that the situation back home was better could the federal government not have first seen
00:59:12.260 that situation happening how many people are traveling through canada because they thought
00:59:17.540 it was something it wasn't yeah no 100 and you hear that time and time again it isn't just people
00:59:23.460 from ukraine it's people from other countries where you think canada would be significantly better
00:59:27.860 but no once again here the reality is different from what they have been sold uh the liberal government
00:59:33.300 is kind of like a bad salesman they increase their numbers they're bringing lots of people in
00:59:37.700 but then most of these sales on the idea of canada they're turning into returns which isn't good
00:59:42.900 for business so the the numbers they put out there i'd like to see the return numbers on those uh those
00:59:48.020 sales of the canadian dream oh we'll touch on a couple more things uh briefly as the time wraps up and
00:59:53.300 then we'll get to our uh chat here but uh trump was booked in georgia on charges uh that he tried to
00:59:58.340 overturn the state's 2020 election results for me that we could talk about this for hours but for me in a
01:00:05.300 a nutshell you look at some of what the other politicians have done whether it be in the biden
01:00:10.580 family whether it be hillary clinton herself um by the way i'm in great mental health as i say that
01:00:15.540 so everyone has a record of that um but if you look at what they've done and what they've gotten away
01:00:20.260 with by comparison um i've seen everyone on social media saying if this sort of follows through um they're
01:00:27.380 making him effectively into a political martyr would you agree with that sentiment yeah i think the
01:00:32.660 they're they are turning into him into a political martyr um and you know the one thing i would say
01:00:37.780 though uh when it comes to donald trump yeah he's probably one of the better candidates out there in
01:00:43.060 the field right now however the lockdowns the vaccines the the vaccines were brought forward by
01:00:50.900 donald trump basically applying pressure allegedly you know to the big pharmaceutical agencies like
01:00:56.100 pfizer and moderna uh to get through something to provide the the market in terms of vaccines and
01:01:02.500 what do we find out now about the repercussions of that action uh that action which changed the lives of
01:01:07.860 millions and millions of people around the world forever um you know that's the one thing i think
01:01:13.300 about with donald trump um when it comes to the rest of it he seems like he's probably the best out of
01:01:17.860 the bunch uh with that you know massive caveat in mind yeah well and if if there was fair sort of
01:01:25.540 application of the law we talked about this last time there's an average of like three felonies per
01:01:30.260 president so it's it's not uncommon but uh the fact that they all seem to get away with it and he seems
01:01:35.380 to be the only one facing any sort of consequence for relatively minor considerations uh it says something
01:01:41.300 and finally uh we and we started on sort of a bitter note but on a positive note um let's talk a little
01:01:47.380 bit about oliver anthony uh this individual with this this hit a series of now hit songs coming out he
01:01:54.180 seems to just be a good guy and he's turned the sort of country music industry on their head
01:01:58.340 this at a time when the country music industry is starting to have like same-sex marriage sex
01:02:02.740 marriages within music videos and they're bringing drag queens to country music awards um trying to push that 0.99
01:02:08.740 so fervently um then oliver anthony comes out and puts up this genuine like real country music
01:02:14.580 about struggling working class folks uh oliver anthony turns down an eight million dollar recording
01:02:20.420 contract um i read that he lives in a 750 camper that he bought off craigslist he just wants to play
01:02:28.420 music he doesn't want to turn into the next taylor swift um imagine somebody everybody in this day and
01:02:33.940 age is aspiring to be the next sort of famous social media phenomenon it is so incredible to
01:02:40.020 see somebody who's just an earnest down-to-earth guy he talks about struggling with mental illness
01:02:44.820 and he's trying to to kind of get his life together and he just wants to play music for folks that's the
01:02:49.700 most country thing i think i've ever heard what a positive song have you had have you had a chance to
01:02:54.980 to hear the rich men of north richmond song yet uh i've heard it briefly in passing yes uh it's good and
01:03:02.100 it's also something that you don't see too often because it's just spoken from the heart um you
01:03:06.980 know everything nowadays is monetized right uh you look at the music boards it's all there there's
01:03:12.500 something in there where money is at the heart of it um and it's always good to see artists who exist
01:03:18.420 outside of that realm uh however that you know comes with a consequence of if you're there only
01:03:23.380 speaking from the heart and you're not looking to make any money well yeah you're not going to you
01:03:27.220 know rise to the the upper echelons of the music industry uh simply because that's not your goal
01:03:32.100 which means that you're not going to get as much visibility so it's a trade-off um and it means that
01:03:36.180 you're always going to have to seek out those uh not smaller minded individuals but smaller people
01:03:41.460 that stick to a smaller arena um like this individual you always have to seek them out they
01:03:45.940 will never be presented to you by the industry at least yeah well yeah and that's just it i love the
01:03:51.380 industry starts pushing this narrative and almost fittingly just perfectly um this authentic the amount of
01:03:56.660 times we're seeing so many people talk about grassroots activism grassroots music whatever it
01:04:01.540 may be but it's incredible to see an actual instance where without an artificial push without
01:04:06.580 boosting without the music industry telling us this is the next big big thing this individual is
01:04:11.780 just because of the transparency the clarity of his message um and and the fact that he's speaking
01:04:16.580 to something that so many people and it doesn't matter where you are um but particularly i think
01:04:22.100 rural western country loving canadians um and people in the united states who are having a hard
01:04:27.060 time because of inflation because of bad government decisions because of politicians like justin trudeau
01:04:31.540 are disconnected from the reality that the rest of us are living in because of all of those factors
01:04:36.740 his message hit at just the absolute perfect time um i know i know he's uh i know he's skirting away from
01:04:45.300 from politicking and not trying to make it too much about that and just saying he wants to play music but
01:04:49.860 imagine if this became someone i won't say who maybe donald trump maybe somebody else imagine if
01:04:54.740 this became the sort of a song for their campaign though that would be something else all together
01:04:59.860 that would be something to see um on that note we do have one chat i believe here that i want to get
01:05:04.740 to before we wrap up um ableist sl always great to have you you're you're always chatting it's so
01:05:10.340 wonderful to have uh some regulars chiming in uh he asks do you think the trudeau administration
01:05:15.940 and other globalist conspirators are actively conspiring to hold on to power to evade post
01:05:20.500 communist romania style reprisals you know i think they're trying to hold on to power i think that is
01:05:27.540 definitely the case um and if we do see a fall election a rush election which i don't know if
01:05:34.500 we're going to see but if we do it's they're probably going to do it right during the height of
01:05:38.180 new covid restrictions and say anyone opposed to this as an extremist um there's going to be a lot
01:05:42.820 of fear-mongering and agendas driven into that and they're going to try and grab on to one more
01:05:47.220 otherwise they're going to delay it as much as possible and try and shift to new leadership those
01:05:51.700 are the two likely scenarios or completely rebrand themselves somehow um but i don't for progressives
01:05:58.900 in this day and age there doesn't seem to be now i don't think there would be post communist romania
01:06:04.180 style reprisals that would be a pretty hefty but there doesn't seem to be any reprisal for progressives
01:06:09.460 no matter what they do when they're in politics they simply get to go away people like donald trump
01:06:13.460 face charges and are potentially even held up on them so they i think they are trying to hold on to
01:06:18.500 it but i don't know if it's i don't know if they suspect i think they think they're immune at this
01:06:22.340 point with the language and rhetoric that justin trudeau has volleyed over the past few years i i don't
01:06:27.300 think you talk like that if you think that anyone is ever going to come after you with any real
01:06:31.220 consequences i think he's oblivious and thinks he's immune to any reprimand whatsoever would you agree
01:06:36.820 yeah and it's the same playbook that we saw uh slip out of uh catherine mckenna uh years ago
01:06:42.900 where she said you know you just say it loud enough and over and over again and they'll believe you 0.98
01:06:46.580 um that's that's their mentality you know say it loud enough say it proudly enough and they'll
01:06:50.980 believe you and that's that's the approach that we continue to see and it's you know one thing when
01:06:56.100 it comes to trudeau and why he's going to be out of office soon well it's the same thing i believe
01:06:59.540 with any narcissist they go into a workplace environment and they manipulate and take advantage of
01:07:03.860 people and then eventually over time people catch on and then they've got to pack up their stuff
01:07:08.100 leave and go to the next place and they do this over again um but everybody knows justin trudeau's
01:07:12.580 name he's got nowhere to hide at this point so people just keep on looking further and further
01:07:17.780 into the the grossness of his cause and his nature um and that that is going to perpetuate us into a new
01:07:23.460 conservative government in the the years ahead um and the one caveat there concern i would propose uh for
01:07:28.740 the federal conservative party is not to get caught up in the uh uh the the looming victory sure it's
01:07:34.500 going to happen but don't don't be too proud of yourself uh for for replacing justin trudeau because
01:07:40.020 it's a replacement it's not necessarily a victory lap i mean he he won two elections during the
01:07:45.380 pandemic this is time that you know things could have changed but you know here we are and his time
01:07:50.500 has now come well and the conservatives as sheila said a couple weeks back uh were renowned for
01:07:55.540 snatching defeat out of their opponent's jaws um so they they definitely shouldn't get ahead of
01:08:00.740 themselves um but yeah i i do think ableist for chiming in with that and then sid for your
01:08:05.860 commentary on that i think lots of these big donations whether it be to a various eco china
01:08:11.620 advisory councils or to the hillary clinton clinton foundation whatever i think some of those might be
01:08:16.900 game planning for justin trudeau's future uh career uh to say the very least though no a government
01:08:22.580 official wouldn't do that of course that would be absurd but that might be part of that sid i want
01:08:26.420 to thank you so much especially for your sort of personal testimony and sharing about the reporting
01:08:30.580 you've been doing on the heartbreaking case of sheila annette lewis i think it's important for folks
01:08:34.980 to hear that story so thank you so much for that i want to thank everyone in the studio for your
01:08:39.780 incredible work for making this show possible for keeping us on the air and getting us back online
01:08:44.260 after that brief little hiccup there and most importantly well i want to thank everyone at home
01:08:48.500 for tuning in watching us chipping in making this show possible we couldn't do it without you
