Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ VanCity cop laughs at assault, Carbon tax goes up (again), TO legalizing hard drugs

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

00:00:19.760 a Monday, April 3rd, 2023. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you a little

00:00:27.940 bit about my co-host. Folks, do you know that today is National Film Score Day and when my co-host wants

00:00:35.680 to get inspired, she puts on her Batgirl costume and listens to the Hans Zimmer score from The Dark

00:00:42.720 Knight Rises. Look out! She is the She-Devil with a slingshot. She is the Khaleesi of the greater 0.99

00:00:49.000 Coburg area. She is Tamara Ugolini. How you doing there, Tamara? Such a missed opportunity. I could

00:00:56.220 have wore my son's Bat costume mask over my eyes today. Wouldn't have that been a fun way to kick

00:01:01.880 off our Daily Roundup. I bet you could rock that costume, Tamara. But yeah, I mean, I'll tell you,

00:01:09.620 you know, there is some great film scores out there and I actually bought that soundtrack from

00:01:16.640 The Dark Knight Rises because that is absolutely fantastic music, especially when it's put to a

00:01:25.380 Batman theme. So anyways, I hope, however you celebrate National Film Score Day, I hope you

00:01:31.320 have a great day at it. I hope you celebrate it with the windows down. Wow, packed agenda as always,

00:01:36.820 and we have to have a hard end at two o'clock and I think this is when you step in and tell the folks

00:01:42.100 out there what it is we are ostensibly trying to do here. Yeah, lots of news to cover today on this

00:01:48.040 Manic Monday. So you are watching our Daily Roundup and for all of our viewers at home,

00:01:53.220 it's a chance for us to bring you some commentary live and have you also engage back with us. So we

00:02:00.560 are currently streaming on a few different platforms, Rumble, Odyssey, Getter, Twitter,

00:02:06.700 and the one that we love, we hate to love, love to hate is YouTube. So you can chat with us directly,

00:02:15.580 but no longer on YouTube because we engage apparently according to them in wrong think

00:02:21.660 and wrong speak. So we have been completely demonetized by YouTube and no longer gain any

00:02:27.800 traction or revenue on that platform. So if you're joining us at home, I would urge you to go over to

00:02:33.760 Rumble or Odyssey and where you can engage with us using a super chat or a hyper chat because we want to get

00:02:43.340 some of your feedback on some of the hot topics that we are going to delve into today. And the first

00:02:50.660 of which is going to be the climate alarmism. And namely here in Canada, how our cost on how we're

00:02:59.900 supposed to offset carbon footprint and carbon output is just going up. So the taxpayers are really

00:03:07.540 bearing the weight of the financial strain for government carbon related policies thanks to the

00:03:14.340 Justin Trudeau liberals and their climate alarmism. So we have an actual minister dedicated. He's the

00:03:20.820 environmental minister, but he's also now the minister of climate change. They're not questioning

00:03:26.660 like it's very clear the science they say that the climate is in fact changing and we need a minister

00:03:32.740 dedicated to addressing this. And so we have the Honourable Stephen Gilbeau. He has recently been,

00:03:42.980 I guess, David, how do you put it, called out by some mainstream media journalists about how the

00:03:50.820 carbon tax, which is not an April Fool's Day joke, it did just go up on April the 1st amid record inflation

00:03:58.820 and an inability for Canadians to feed their families and heat their homes. We are facing a

00:04:05.540 looming recession. But nonetheless, the liberals went ahead with not only giving themselves a pay

00:04:10.100 raise on April 1st, but also simultaneously hiking up the carbon tax. And we have a little video of him

00:04:17.620 getting some pushback from a journalist on who the ones that are being harmed primarily by this tax hike

00:04:26.100 really are. Minister, respectfully, I'm looking at the PBO's report right now, and he goes through

00:04:32.340 each quintile of the income brackets. In Alberta, each and every quintile will see a net loss. In

00:04:38.340 Saskatchewan, all but the very lowest income. And the same in Manitoba. So I take your point that it is

00:04:44.180 progressive. But in those instances, in those provinces, it's only those at the lowest part of the

00:04:50.100 income scale that will see any net benefit. Everybody else, and certainly those in the second

00:04:54.580 income bracket are not exactly the richest of Canadians. And once again, when your government

00:04:59.540 said what this program was intended to accomplish, it made a promise to Canadians that they wouldn't

00:05:03.860 be out of pocket for it. If a majority of Canadians are, and I'm not debating the merits of carbon

00:05:11.540 pricing in this. I'm just trying to ask you if you understand why there are Canadians right now who are

00:05:17.380 facing such tough financial times, who are saying, can you put a pause on this? Can you help us out?

00:05:23.460 Because it isn't like the rebates are covering at all.

00:05:27.220 Well, we're doing a number of other things, Vashi, to help Canadians and to support Canadians

00:05:31.780 through the transition to a lower carbon future. Like a program to help people to get off home

00:05:39.540 eating oil, which is much more expensive, much more polluting than using heat pumps, for example.

00:05:45.060 So we're working with a number of jurisdictions across the country to do that. And as you said in the

00:05:51.140 introduction about the parliamentary budget officer, I mean, he acknowledges that he doesn't take into

00:05:56.820 account the cost of the impacts of climate change. And let me give you just one example. Summer of 2021,

00:06:03.460 in British Columbia, the overall economic impact of natural catastrophes, that year alone,

00:06:09.300 in British Columbia alone, 17 billion dollars. This is a bill that all Canadians are paying.

00:06:15.940 And that's one year, one jurisdiction in Canada. I get all that, and I'm not negating it, but that

00:06:21.300 isn't what you told Canadians carbon pricing would be. You didn't say it's going to cost you, but we'll

00:06:26.260 do all this other stuff to help you. You said our rebates will cover you. We have said that the rebates

00:06:31.860 would help the people most in need in Canada. And that's exactly what the system is doing.

00:06:40.180 Well, well, first of all, Tamara, you know, to get back to what you were saying earlier,

00:06:45.060 before we ran the clip. Yeah, I do love that virtue signaling. It was t'was ever thus,

00:06:49.700 it was the Ministry of the Environment. Now it's the Ministry of the Environment and climate change. So

00:06:56.100 even on a title, even in a bureaucratic department, the Liberals can't help but do some virtue

00:07:03.060 signaling. And, you know, it makes my heart bleed that, oh, I don't know, 120 million years ago that

00:07:08.500 there wasn't a stegosaurus or a triceratops named Minister of Climate Change. So they could have,

00:07:14.660 you know, helped the dinosaurs walk through that really big incident of climate change. But I digress.

00:07:20.500 So I guess what I'm seeing here is that Minister Gibault has committed the greatest sin of all

00:07:27.380 when you're part of Blackface's Liberal cabinet, which is he's told the truth. He is saying 0.95

00:07:35.140 households will pay more. And correct me if I'm wrong, Tamara, but I thought those little checks we

00:07:44.980 get in the mail every quarter or every half year or however the frequency is, I thought that

00:07:50.260 was to more than cover the price of the pump, what we're paying in home heating oil, etc. But

00:07:57.300 good golly, leave it to a convicted criminal, Gibault, to actually tell the truth. What do you make of this?

00:08:06.100 Yeah, you know, that was under the guise of, they were sweet-talking this program, was that you would

00:08:11.140 pay more now, but it was like an investment, right? So you would be reimbursed and then some,

00:08:15.780 the green energy is all about an investment. It's going to be so lucrative and we're going to gain

00:08:21.220 money and you just have to upfront billions of dollars and then we're going to somehow get it all

00:08:27.140 back in this magical, mysterious world of the green economy. What I really liked and wanted to point out

00:08:34.820 here that Gibault talks about is the idea of a heat pump and replacing your oil. I don't know if he's

00:08:42.740 just mincing his words and he's not quite sure what a heat pump is, but maybe a heat pump would work in

00:08:48.420 British Columbia or some of those southern states. But here in the really trepid temperatures of Ontario,

00:08:54.740 Alberta, the places near the north, a heat pump has a sweet spot of efficiency in and around minus 5,

00:09:04.020 maybe minus 8, minus 10, up until about plus 5 and plus 10. After that, they are completely useless.

00:09:12.100 So there is maybe two months out of the 12 months of the year that a heat pump could be efficiently

00:09:17.780 utilized. And to say that that's a suitable replacement for something like oil, these people have no idea

00:09:25.940 what they're actually talking about. And that just continues to go on and on and on for it seems like

00:09:31.220 for forever. And now they're completely decimating Canadians at the banks and their ability to heat their

00:09:38.420 homes and their ability to feed their families and telling us to, well, just use your heat pump. Whereas, you know,

00:09:43.380 right now is maybe the sweet spot where the heat pump would be useful. And every other season throughout

00:09:49.060 the year, it's completely useless.

00:09:51.780 Unbelievable. I mean, could you imagine our beloved colleague, Sheila Gunn-Reed, who lives somewhere in the

00:09:56.820 hinterland north of Edmonton? And even last month in March, there were days minus 30, minus 32, just

00:10:04.980 recently minus 16. That's called a warming trend. So this heat pump you speak of, Tamara, wouldn't work under

00:10:12.500 those climatic conditions. So I guess, well, maybe Mr. Guibo, he didn't finish the sentence,

00:10:18.660 if you live in an area that gets temperatures colder than minus eight, please put on some extra

00:10:25.780 sweaters. Hey, if you've got dogs, bring the dogs into the house and, you know, get close to them.

00:10:31.780 You know, the name of the band, Three Dog Night, Tamara, that was all about surviving harsh climates.

00:10:38.020 You know, in the north, if it's a really cold night, you bring in a dog. If it's excruciatingly

00:10:44.980 cold, you bring in a second dog. But the worst kind of cold is a three dog night. So buy some dogs

00:10:52.340 and lie with them on those really cold nights if you're depending on a heat pump. Unbelievable. And

00:10:59.540 I just want to know what other liberals are saying, because Guibo has basically admitted

00:11:09.220 that we are getting hosed in terms of compensation for these carbon taxes.

00:11:16.820 And I do believe we do have another clip, Tamara, of, well, Blackface, yet again, he's sticking to the 0.94

00:11:25.140 script, uh, promoting the lie that the carbon tax, uh, will raise the cost of living for Canadians, but

00:11:32.580 put money back into your pockets, uh, does not compute. Let's hear Blackface explain it to us all. 0.96

00:11:39.780 The parliamentary budget officer says most people will be paying thousands of dollars more in carbon

00:11:44.980 tax than they will get in rebates. Why do you continue to claim that most people will come out ahead?

00:11:50.500 Uh, first of all, uh, everybody knows that we have to fight climate change.

00:11:57.220 But more than just fighting climate change, we have to prepare, uh, and invest in innovating for

00:12:04.260 the future. And the best way to do that is to ensure that there is a price on pollution. And that's

00:12:10.900 exactly what we did. We did it at the federal level, uh, imposing it on the provinces that didn't have

00:12:18.180 one. But here in Quebec, it's been a long time that you've always had a price on pollution, that

00:12:24.580 you've had a price on pollution. So the federal backstop and program doesn't apply in Quebec.

00:12:31.380 So families in Quebec haven't seen, uh, any shift in the carbon price, uh, as of April 1st, as they

00:12:36.980 did elsewhere across the country. But elsewhere across the country, where we bring in the price on

00:12:42.340 pollution under the federal backstop, we also bring in a climate action incentive that right now more

00:12:49.780 than compensates for the added costs of, uh, the, the carbon tax. And this is what conservatives continue

00:12:58.980 to mislead Canadians about. We're fighting climate change at the same time as the climate action

00:13:06.340 incentive comes into people's bank accounts four times a year, hundreds of dollars to help them

00:13:13.860 as they make choices that are better for their family and better for the environment.

00:13:18.900 Conservatives still think we don't have to do anything to fight climate change.

00:13:23.780 Well, I've got droughts and wildfires and, and increased hurricanes that prove them wrong about that.

00:13:31.140 Canadians right across the country know we have to fight climate change. We have to do it in a way

00:13:37.380 that stays affordable for people. And that's exactly what we will continue to do.

00:13:42.500 Oh my goodness. There's so much to, um, you know, analyze there. First of all, I, once again,

00:13:48.820 it's too bad to see the prime minister, uh, blackface, uh, confusing, uh, climate and weather. 0.96

00:13:54.660 Uh, again, I mean, drought, wildfires, uh, oh no, planet earth has never experienced that in its, um,

00:14:03.540 multi-billion dollar, uh, multi-billion year history. But I want to go back to the first thing he said,

00:14:09.620 Tamara, which was everyone knows we have to fight climate change. Oh, really? Everyone like, um,

00:14:17.860 the regime in China, which of course blackface 1.00

00:14:20.820 so admires in terms of getting things done. The last I saw, uh, Tamara, they weren't fighting 0.51

00:14:26.900 climate change, but they were adding hundreds of new coal generation plants every year. And remember,

00:14:33.380 this is the, uh, dictatorship he so admires and probably the number one polluter in terms of

00:14:40.660 countries in the world. So right from the beginning to the end, this guy would, you know,

00:14:46.340 had all the ethics of a flim flam man and trying to explain why we common Canadians are paying more

00:14:53.700 on everything because of this useless carbon tax. Well, and the question clearly says Canadians are

00:15:01.140 going to spend thousands more. And then he responds with, well, you'll receive a few hundred,

00:15:06.260 some hundreds into your bank account over the next year. Well, you shell out thousands at the pumps,

00:15:13.540 at the grocery store, uh, to your utility companies. The cost is just insane. And what this government

00:15:19.380 never seems to mention is how unsustainable lithium drilling or mining is the oil. They there's,

00:15:30.660 you know, the issue, the ethical issue with child labor, slave labor, unregulated work place

00:15:38.020 issues in third world countries with mining lithium. And then of course you have your oil and gas sector,

00:15:44.180 which is primarily hard working trained men who are paid well, who are professionals in their field,

00:15:52.180 who are out there doing difficult, a difficult job they signed up for. These aren't child slaves

00:15:58.900 heading out to a mine in the middle of, you know, a mud pit. Um, so, so they're completely missing the bar

00:16:06.020 on where these energy sources are coming from at their source. And none of this can be seen as

00:16:13.620 sustainable in the long run. Uh, solar panels, wind energy, your heat pump that Gibbo thinks will

00:16:20.980 somehow replace oil. Um, they all run on electricity and they all have a lifespan and their lifespan is

00:16:28.580 usually around 20 to 25 years. So we put up all this upfront cost. And then by the time we get the

00:16:35.060 return on that investment in approximately 20 years, the product is no longer any good. So at that point,

00:16:41.540 what do we do? No. And, and you know, Tamara, you raise a good point. Uh, these types are all about the

00:16:48.500 EV, the electric vehicle revolution. Um, the biggest virtue signal of all would be the state of California.

00:16:55.380 I think it's by 2030 or 2035. I can't remember. Uh, that's when they will ban the sale of, uh,

00:17:02.740 fossil fuel vehicles in California. Funny thing is, uh, Tamara. We're not far off.

00:17:07.940 Oh, and that's nothing. It'll be here before you know it. But right now, California has the deal

00:17:14.580 with roving brownouts and blackouts. Okay. They have one nuclear plant left. It has two reactors

00:17:22.900 within the next two years. Both those reactors are going offline. There are no plans to build new

00:17:29.540 nuclear reactors in California. So imagine taking the inventory of fossil fuel cars in California right

00:17:38.900 now, which is about 14.2 million vehicles, making them eventually all EVs to a state that is already

00:17:48.340 unable to cope with electricity demands. And you can export that model to other jurisdictions,

00:17:54.500 including right here in Ontario. When you talk about a complete replacement, this is madness,

00:18:00.260 uh, Tamara. Um, I, I think, you know, if that legislation goes through, um, I, if I was a Californian or

00:18:08.580 in any region where there is a threat of brownouts and blackouts, I'm investing, I'm going into deep 0.98

00:18:15.780 debt to buy some good old gas burning cars because that Tesla that you just bought or any of those

00:18:23.540 other electrical vehicles, which are typically more than twice the price of the carbon version.

00:18:29.700 Well, you're going to see those turn into very expensive paperweights, but they don't tell you

00:18:36.180 about that. It's full speed ahead. And one last point on that, Tamara, you think at least they would

00:18:42.340 lead by example. When I see Blackface go visiting, uh, with his eight vehicle motorcade, they are 1.00

00:18:48.820 typically big eight cylinder Chevy Suburbans and Ford Expeditions. Um, no EV vehicles there, no plug-in

00:18:58.740 hybrids, no even basic hybrids, all fossil fuel burning vehicles, which they let idle.

00:19:06.580 By the way, while, uh, Blackface is doing his speech indoors. Um, you know, again, Tamara, 0.57

00:19:12.420 we see do as I say, not as I do, don't we? That's right. And I, I heard on the radio on

00:19:19.700 Saturday and I was just trying to quickly pull up an article. I can't seem to, uh, to get one up here,

00:19:23.860 but I think it's General Motors is pivoting to exclusively manufacture electric vehicles by the

00:19:31.860 year 2028. This is five years from now. And we, I think we'll see, we will have a difficult time

00:19:40.340 purchasing vehicles that run on traditional fossil fuels at this point. And I, for one,

00:19:47.540 do not want an electric vehicle that, you know, can just spontaneously combust needs to stop every

00:19:55.220 so often at charging stations for half an hour, 45 minutes, plus, plus, plus, uh, has this inefficient

00:20:02.020 battery that will die in the middle of our harsh, cold weather, winter conditions.

00:20:07.860 This is absolute absurdity. Um, and I'm going, shoot, we better try to invest in some sort of

00:20:14.340 better fossil fuel burning vehicle by, you know, 2027 so that we can hopefully have the longevity

00:20:21.060 of a fossil burner while our government attempts to pivot to these electric vehicles for the next,

00:20:26.340 however many years they push it before they realize that it's going to be a failed endeavor

00:20:30.180 and a failed investment. This is absolutely insane. I don't know how, you know, these,

00:20:35.620 these companies must be being incentivized by the billions, by the government and other stakeholders

00:20:40.420 to push this because it does not make any sort of economic or, um, efficient sense to do so.

00:20:48.100 Oh, but Tamara, well, first of all, uh, 2028, that's a new date for me. I thought

00:20:52.660 their original statement was 2030, but maybe they're so gung ho. They're pushing it.

00:20:57.940 That's incredible. Um, no, when it comes to General Motors, Tamara, we need only look back on recent

00:21:04.740 history. This is a company, um, that has been bailed out by the taxpayer, not once, but twice.

00:21:12.260 So General Motors can roll the dice. And that's what this is. If you're talking about only offering

00:21:18.900 electric cars in just five years time, that is a humongous roll of the dice. And if General Motors

00:21:26.180 fails, guess what, Tamara, you and I, and all of the members of our audience, both north and south of

00:21:32.980 the border, we're going to bail them out a third time because GM is too big to fail. Remember that?

00:21:39.300 So they, um, they're like the high wire artists operating with a safety net below. Um, when you

00:21:48.020 do that, you can take more risks because if you fall off the high wire, uh, you're going to be safe.

00:21:53.620 If there's no net there, uh, you're going to die. And GM has been mollycoddled by governments for

00:21:59.540 decades. So that's why they can do something outrageous like that. But, and I got to tell you,

00:22:05.460 uh, uh, Tamara, Lincoln, Jay, and I back in December, as you may know, we went out, uh, to the plant,

00:22:14.260 the Cammy plant in, uh, Southern Ontario, uh, where GM is making a huge investment for electrical,

00:22:22.740 um, basically work trucks. We were invited by GM to come there, which was great. Um,

00:22:29.300 but once, uh, Blackface got a look at who was on the list for media, we were told to leave the

00:22:36.020 property or be charged with trespassing. Unbelievable. Uh, I think, uh, uh, Mr. Producer Efron has got the,

00:22:44.260 uh, uh, video proof there. That's the security guard telling us to, uh, he went from, uh, welcome to the

00:22:51.460 Cammy plant to, you better beat it or else we're calling the cops. Unbelievable, but it's too bad 1.00

00:22:57.940 because what I just said in the last couple of minutes, those were part of my hard questions that

00:23:04.340 no one in the media that did get in that day would dare ask. And also you got to wonder, um, last month

00:23:12.260 there was that announcement, Tamara, of a Volkswagen plant being set up in Southern Ontario. Um, I think

00:23:20.340 it's 7.1, 7.3 billion, lots of jobs. I'm happy about that. But when the question came to how much

00:23:28.420 did the federal government and the province of Ontario, uh, put into that plant, what were we

00:23:34.820 told? Oh, uh, that's confidential information. That's competitive information. Hey, listen,

00:23:41.300 the federal government and the, uh, and the province of Ontario government were private corporations.

00:23:46.740 I get that. It's none of our business, but we are the shareholders. We are the stakeholders.

00:23:52.740 I just wonder how much of that 7 plus billion for the Volkswagen, uh, electric battery manufacturing

00:24:00.660 plant is coming right out of taxpayer dollars. Uh, Tamara, do you, do you want to harbor a guess?

00:24:07.540 Well, I, I, I want to actually issue a clarification because that's what I was talking about. That's what I

00:24:12.740 was referring to, uh, referring to not General Motors, but this, this new plant that is being

00:24:17.700 opened by Volkswagen, um, to solely manufacture their golf, which will be solely electric battery

00:24:25.700 powered. And so, sorry, um, I was, uh, a little bit misinformed there at the beginning, but that is

00:24:31.380 what I was referring to by 2028, that there will be no, they will not be manufacturing the Volkswagen

00:24:37.700 Gulf at Gulf as a fossil fuel guzzler, um, from that point forward. And, uh, and yeah, it's clear,

00:24:45.220 like I said, that the government, their, their subsidies and the stakeholders involved here,

00:24:50.660 that they're pushing the funding on these initiatives without fully thinking through how

00:24:58.100 this is going to function on the ground. We don't have the infrastructure for the charging station.

00:25:02.980 Sheila has done numerous reports, order paper questions, access to information requests on 0.94

00:25:08.420 this. We see that, you know, especially in the Northern countries where batteries of this

00:25:14.020 caliber are not going to be able to withstand those harsh cold temperatures. There just isn't

00:25:20.100 the infrastructure there to withstand any of this. We know that there are safety concerns with electric

00:25:26.420 vehicles. Um, fossil fuels seem to be working really well thus far. And as long as our

00:25:32.740 government stops taxing the bejesus out of us on them, uh, they're pretty cost effective.

00:25:39.460 And if we can, you know, filter out this bureaucracy that's generating so many funds on top of the cost

00:25:46.500 of the fuel, then that brings it down even more. And you have, you know, leader of the opposition,

00:25:51.620 uh, Pierre Polyev really pointing out once again, the, uh, hypocrisy of the bureaucracy with his, 0.73

00:25:57.780 this April fool's day joke, which actually is just a joke on struggling Canadians who can't afford,

00:26:03.700 as I've mentioned, to heat their homes or feed their families. They're going to be paying more

00:26:07.860 at the pumps, which is just going to further translate into increased costs at the grocery

00:26:12.420 store for the transportation of all of your goods and services. Everything is going to continue to

00:26:18.180 inflate because of this tax. We have world hunger. Um, we have so many global issues that could be

00:26:28.500 easily remedied by these billions of dollars. And yet our government tells us that we need to get

00:26:34.260 taxed more to save, to fight climate change. I'd like to know how tax helps the earth at the end of

00:26:42.420 the day, right? It boils down to that a hundred percent. And, um, I just want to also state here,

00:26:48.340 uh, Tamara, if there was a business case for these electrical vehicles, then why does government have

00:26:53.780 to come in with these huge subsidies? And the answer is the business case for the vast majority

00:26:59.060 of Canadians who are not stinking rich. These are too expensive. You're looking at six figure vehicles

00:27:05.860 in order to liken it to Tamara, uh, back in, I remember, um, let's around 1977, you saw the first,

00:27:14.420 um, push for VCRs on the market back when there was a beta max and VHS and, and that war. And in

00:27:23.060 seventies dollars, I remember you had to pay in the neighborhood of $1,600 for a VCR. Can you imagine that?

00:27:32.980 So if you want to be a trailblazer, you are going to pay a huge price. We are in the infancy

00:27:39.220 of EV vehicles. Um, I'll give you a perfect example of the Ford F-150 Lightning, which is an

00:27:45.300 all electric Ford F-150 pickup truck. I remember seeing this reported in car and driver. So these

00:27:50.900 are us numbers, 69,000 us is the truck, but get a load of this. And I've never seen this ratio before

00:27:59.060 in my life. The dealer markup, $73,000 more than the actual truck itself. So in other words, Tamara,

00:28:09.620 you could buy two top of the line fuel burning F-150s for the price of one, uh, Ford 150 Lightning EV.

00:28:19.780 Um, that, that's not smart. Who, who would, who wouldn't, and also in the early goings of

00:28:26.100 electrification, um, you want to track record for that vehicle of at least a few model years

00:28:32.420 so they can iron out all the bugs. So, you know, it, it's not a good gamble by the manufacturers

00:28:39.060 and God forbid consumers going into debt to buy one of these EVs, not a good move.

00:28:46.420 And I was going to say the reliability of fossil fuel manufactured vehicle is going to be far

00:28:52.740 superior than anything you're going to, to get with these, uh, electric vehicles. But I think

00:28:58.580 that we should take a quick ad break because we're going to come back with some, uh, trans visibility

00:29:05.140 day madness. So you don't want to miss our next topic because we're launching a new campaign.

00:31:32.580 Now, we have an absolutely crazy story coming out of Vancouver from this past weekend. I guess it was

00:31:39.220 Trans Visibility Day because there's a lack of visibility there, apparently. But an activist who

00:31:49.380 really is trying to uphold the fact that children and adolescents cannot consent to some of this

00:31:58.340 very aggressive treatment in terms of medical transitioning. And we've seen this, the indoctrination

00:32:08.020 happening at the school level and arguably all throughout our society. But Billboard Chris has

00:32:15.780 been a really big name in denouncing gender ideology and specifically as it targets youth,

00:32:23.220 minors and younger children, younger and younger children. And just this past weekend at a protest,

00:32:30.020 he was assaulted by, you know, that crowd that says love is louder. I think is their mantra and

00:32:37.540 inclusivity and tolerance. And love trumps hate, right? Yeah, love is louder. I think it's love is

00:32:45.780 louder than hate. And so we're going to show you some clips, first and foremost, so that you can see

00:32:51.300 for yourself what happened here in Vancouver over the weekend. And then we're going to tell you what

00:32:57.460 Rebel has is going to be doing about it. So first, I think we have the first clip where Billboard

00:33:05.540 Chris has been assaulted and the police have been called in, you know, to keep the peace,

00:33:10.900 I think is what their duties are supposed to be in a situation like this and potentially

00:33:16.180 make arrests while they investigate a situation where an assault has taken place.

00:33:21.940 And this was kind of the response that the Vancouver Police Department met Chris with.

00:33:28.100 Listen, I love the police. My brother's a police officer. I respect law and order. I respect our

00:33:38.900 Charter of Rights and Freedoms. And I'm not trying to be a jerk to you earlier today. I don't think a 0.94

00:33:44.660 lot of you understand what I'm actually representing and the seriousness of this situation.

00:33:49.940 But it is what it is, I guess. I just, this is Canada and people shouldn't be allowed to

00:33:57.860 assault people without consequence, you know? I agree, Chris, but the thing is, right,

00:34:03.220 when we get into people's faces and they get into our faces, it doesn't really matter who does the

00:34:09.060 first push. It's considered a consensual fight. And maybe that's something you should...

00:34:13.140 I didn't, no, no, you, that's, I didn't get into people's faces. I was here for...

00:34:17.700 Chris, I saw you get very close to people.

00:34:19.860 You weren't here. You weren't even here. I was...

00:34:24.180 I came and walked, I came out, I came over to your car.

00:34:27.540 Yes, that first time, but the second time...

00:34:30.180 The second time what?

00:34:31.060 When you were pushed on the ground.

00:34:32.980 Are you kidding me? I'd walked, I'd been walking away from them.

00:34:36.260 Yeah, and they surrounded you.

00:34:36.980 To do an interview with him. They came close. I walked away again to do the interview with him.

00:34:41.940 What I'm saying is at this point, maybe you should ask your brother what a consensual fight is, right?

00:34:46.980 Oh my gosh, this is unbelievable. I walked away from them three times.

00:34:51.380 They were surrounding me. You all were doing nothing.

00:34:54.420 A man yelled at my, a man yelled in my ear from inches away,

00:34:58.500 and I tried to get out of this situation where they're surrounding me while you guys do nothing,

00:35:03.380 and I immediately get punched in the face.

00:35:06.900 And you're blaming me? 0.69

00:35:07.940 And whoever punched you should be charged.

00:35:10.260 Are you kidding me right now?

00:35:14.980 This is, no, this is totally surreal.

00:35:17.700 I cannot believe what I'm hearing.

00:35:20.180 Amazing.

00:35:24.340 Amazing.

00:35:26.740 Totally amazing.

00:35:29.860 Do you even know what, like, why are you behaving like this?

00:35:33.460 Do you think I'm evil or something for having this position? Like, what's your problem?

00:35:36.500 Yeah, you were females, and this should be an issue for you. 1.00

00:35:41.220 Excuse me, this has nothing to do with you, okay?

00:35:43.380 What happened?

00:35:43.940 I'm a female, it has nothing to do with me, this trans thing. No, no, nothing to do with women. 0.55

00:35:50.660 I'm talking to somebody else about something, okay?

00:35:53.220 Oh, it doesn't, these conversations are pointless right now. You're trying to,

00:35:56.900 now you're trying to insinuate that that was a mutual thing, like, my gosh, mutual thing.

00:36:01.060 I'd walked away from the crowd three times, they kept following me, then they surrounded me from

00:36:04.900 all sides, started yelling in my ear from inches away, while you all did nothing.

00:36:10.100 And then when I can't even get out of that surrounding, and I get punched in the face,

00:36:17.140 I get pulled, you're telling me that's a mutual engagement?

00:36:21.940 Yes, it is.

00:36:25.540 Wow.

00:36:25.860 You have the right not to be here either, right?

00:36:28.580 It's incredible. And I have the right to be here.

00:36:31.540 Yes, you do.

00:36:33.140 Have you read this thing called the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

00:36:35.140 Yes, I have.

00:36:35.700 Have you?

00:36:36.020 Yes, I have.

00:36:36.580 You should go home and read it again.

00:36:37.780 On whose orders are you guys acting on?

00:36:40.500 Excuse me?

00:36:41.220 On whose orders are you guys acting on?

00:36:43.700 Oh my God. Tamara, imagine, God forbid, you were ever being assaulted out west, 0.99

00:36:49.700 and that police officer comes to the scene of the crime.

00:36:56.500 She, as Billboard Chris said, three times he walked away, and they followed him,

00:37:02.820 they surrounded him. We've got some more footage coming up, folks, and you'll see just how bad it

00:37:08.180 was. And he got slugged with a haymaker and officer, what is her name? Buckman, I believe.

00:37:15.700 Is that correct?

00:37:16.340 Buckman, yeah.

00:37:16.980 I think it's Fred Reek.

00:37:19.300 Yeah, who cannot suppress that Chrystia Freeland, Cheshire Cat grin. I don't know what she finds

00:37:26.740 so amusing about it. She called it, correct me if I'm wrong, a consensual fight. That was a mugging. 0.98

00:37:34.660 Well, why don't we show the actual assaults here?

00:37:36.980 Absolutely.

00:37:37.300 Because that was kind of the aftermath. So let's show you, and I think this was actually the second

00:37:42.580 assault. So this is after the police have already arrived, and they're supposed to probably prevent

00:37:47.060 further assaults from happening. But nonetheless, this is what happened.

00:37:55.060 Oh, and I'm hearing that this may be actually the first assault. And it's so hard to keep track

00:37:59.540 of because there were so many assaults, and it's only the citizen journalists who are documenting

00:38:04.100 this, and it's happening in real time. And so we do have a space where you're going to be able to

00:38:10.340 learn more and find the facts and the series of events and how this unfolded. But I think this is,

00:38:16.180 in fact, the first assault.

00:38:19.380 Why do you think that they're getting that kind of representation? I mean, it's clearly was

00:38:24.740 aggressive violent assault. 1.00

00:38:25.860 You suck. You suck. 1.00

00:38:27.860 No, this is the second assault. 1.00

00:38:29.060 Fuck you, you're not wanted. 1.00

00:38:30.020 Fuck you, you're a fucking idiot. 1.00

00:38:30.980 This is the second one. 1.00

00:38:32.260 You're a fucking idiot. 1.00

00:38:32.900 I don't know what to say. I guess these police officers are mostly indoctrinated as well. 1.00

00:38:37.620 They're afraid of the mob. 1.00

00:38:38.660 Because you're a fucking idiot. 1.00

00:38:40.260 You're a fucking idiot. 1.00

00:38:40.660 I think they're afraid that if they do anything to actually keep law and order, 1.00

00:38:46.020 that they'll end up being on the end of this verbal abuse.

00:38:50.980 So it's just cowardice from everybody all around. 1.00

00:38:53.380 Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. 1.00

00:39:06.980 Yeah. 1.00

00:39:15.220 so yeah yeah so this is the second assault because the police are already there so they

00:39:24.220 were called after the first assault and that's when the interaction started with this officer

00:39:29.220 frederick bachman and i hope i'm pronouncing both the first and last name correctly um

00:39:34.700 but we actually have i i shared in the uh the producer's chat here there's some zoomed in

00:39:41.980 footage that i wonder if we could just pull up of her face as this second assault is taking place 0.99

00:39:47.780 you mean his face no the sorry the officer's face oh i see in fact a female there so you see her in 0.97

00:39:54.180 the background there so she's been circled and then um there's another photo that they you know

00:39:59.260 you can see that she's like looking on with gleeful bliss almost um it's really really strange that

00:40:07.220 the officers just you know they just stood idly by they were looking on um unbelievable and and they

00:40:17.540 they fail to act until the situation escalates so their job in my opinion is to prevent something

00:40:23.880 like that from happening so when you see someone who's just standing there and billboard chris you

00:40:27.480 know he has these signs and i think the front said like children can't consent and on the back he's

00:40:32.460 wearing a dad with the noun and the just the dictionary a definition of what a dad is or a

00:40:38.080 man maybe i'm not clear on what ones he was wearing that day but those are kind of his usual mo um and

00:40:44.800 so as soon as you see someone like that being swarmed by an angry aggressive mob as police your job

00:40:52.020 is to intervene and to keep that peace and to prevent that situation from escalating and that group i don't

00:40:58.580 know how many officers were there 10 15 of them stood idly by until violence occurred and then

00:41:04.460 they kind of get in there except for that one officer who's sort of the main i would say villain

00:41:09.700 but they say victim in this entire unfolding uh she just stood there and smirked and smiled and then 0.88

00:41:16.300 stood back and let the rest of the police officers go in and and handle the situation um this seems more

00:41:22.520 to me like some sort of diversity higher than anyone who's actually competent fit in their duty and role

00:41:27.800 i think you're right tamara so the question arises uh given that a crime was committed on camera no

00:41:34.040 less several cameras for that matter and charges were not pressed um was that the law enforcement

00:41:41.520 uh officer was that her buying into uh the trend side of the argument and therefore she's biased or

00:41:51.300 is it they're higher ups uh you know is it the chief is it the politicians above the police that are

00:41:58.560 pulling the strings that hey when it's a transgender protest uh go easy on the trans people you know 0.98

00:42:05.600 they're such lovable cuddly uh creatures and uh we we don't want to give them any agro you know i'll tell 0.99

00:42:13.360 you uh tamara it clearly shows that video it was not a consensual fight uh he got ambushed uh by that

00:42:20.680 thing and it also shows you know if you are continually dropping f-bombs if you are resorting

00:42:30.800 to violence in a debate well you know what you really don't have much of a position do you

00:42:36.120 because if that's what your counter argument boils down to you've lost you've automatically lost once

00:42:43.240 you start you know swearing repeatedly and being violent forget it and i gotta tell you too tamara this

00:42:50.040 just shows you how wrong we were when we go back 50 or 60 years ago when we started shutting down

00:42:56.740 the mental institutions in our country the idea was you know there's all kinds of new pharmaceuticals

00:43:03.080 if these people just take their pills they'll be okay well 50 or 60 years ago that uh blonde haired 0.96

00:43:10.540 thing would have been in a mental asylum what you know what i know that the cops know it but having

00:43:18.620 said all that there is no excuse for this dereliction of duty that was disgraceful

00:43:24.500 well and that's exactly why we've just launched an immediate petition campaign at fire officer

00:43:33.100 bachman.com so it's b a sorry uh the actual spelling i think is b u c h m a n n so fire officer bachman.com

00:43:47.120 and um and and have the police really investigate this situation um because the way that this officer

00:43:57.240 conducted themselves the way that all of those officers conducted themselves they're now putting

00:44:01.200 out their twitter feed is blown up ever since this incident they're now saying that they are

00:44:06.580 investigating and looking for these individuals they had them right there they had the the people

00:44:13.880 involved the assaults all took place in front of the police officer's eyes they had them there they

00:44:19.560 didn't place any arrests and they say now that they're investigating because of the citizen

00:44:25.040 journalists on social media and the amount of backlash that they have received for not taking

00:44:31.480 any action in the moment while this was all unfolding before their eyes um so you can head over

00:44:38.500 to fire officer bachman.com and at that special website as well our reporter drea humphrey is

00:44:45.980 investigating further both and both she'll be interviewing uh billboard chris but she's also found

00:44:52.320 the mother who was um a complainant i believe and again the details will come out as drea continues

00:45:00.620 her wonderful investigative reporting on the subject but uh this officer has been the recipient of

00:45:07.680 previous misconduct allegations so she this isn't a new thing for this officer to act out out of uh

00:45:17.020 act in a way that is not professional or becoming of a police officer she has other um misconducts

00:45:24.740 against her and drea is going to be researching that further and so you can find all those reports as we

00:45:32.940 investigate and launch them at fire officer bachman.com um and and the other thing i want to note here too

00:45:40.380 is that these two activists that were in the face of billboard chris yelling obscenities at him

00:45:46.880 in his you know inches from his face yeah and are you know oh we're inclusive and loving and love is louder

00:45:53.520 than hate and we must denounce hate and and intolerance um these are men identifying as women

00:46:01.820 yep so i think i don't know i can't recall where the publication came from but there was a mainstream

00:46:07.820 media article about this and they said um you know conservative activist gets into an altercation with

00:46:16.060 you know uh rights a woman's rights ad advocates like alluding to the fact that that he hit a woman

00:46:22.520 they call that the the transgender uh person a woman's rights activist that's not a woman's rights 0.63

00:46:29.220 activist that's a misogynist right yeah and so and so he wants this article and i'm trying to find it

00:46:36.160 here um looking through his twitter page but anyway maybe um well you look um tamara uh i think this is

00:46:43.180 yet again another example about so-called trans rights it's not about equality it's about having

00:46:50.040 special rights and i think the message the police are sending here is if you want to get violent if you

00:46:56.020 want to get handsy uh just wrap yourself in the rainbow flag or the trans flag or the pride progress 0.99

00:47:04.100 flag that's the one with that uh rectangle the i think they call it the bipoc vagina um just put those 1.00

00:47:12.320 flags around your body and you've got free lease uh to carry out mayhem and i'll tell you something 0.95

00:47:18.680 uh tamara the um this is not new to me i'm gonna i'm not gonna go take a deep dive on this but back 0.94

00:47:28.260 in september 2019 i had my own encounter out in the vancouver area for a notorious transgender grifter 1.00

00:47:36.180 and it was caught on camera that he struck me with a metal cane on my head and shoulders five times

00:47:45.060 and when the rcmp came it boiled down to this um they were doing everything they could not to press

00:47:52.700 charges i said listen this is garden variety assault i let them see the video and the conversation i had

00:47:58.940 with one of the officers tamara was well if we charge him we have to charge you i go charge me for 0.67

00:48:05.620 what well mischief mischief i'm just practicing journalism in a public place what are you talking

00:48:12.740 about mischief so that's the way it was it was almost like i felt like i was a contestant on let's

00:48:18.540 make a deal they had no desire whatsoever to charge this person um because in terms of political

00:48:27.300 correctness in terms of wokeness you know the the gender politics didn't add up tamara you know the bad 1.00

00:48:35.200 guy was the like i said the trans grifter uh not vice versa i can tell you this much i bet you

00:48:41.340 as a uh male white heterosexual if the roles were um reversed if i was the one smashing the 0.99

00:48:49.180 transgender grifter over the head with a steel object oh what do you want to bet i might still 1.00

00:48:53.740 be in jail right now what a disgrace yeah absolutely and i think that's where the new york post 0.97

00:48:59.980 they may have corrected the article since this time but there was a tweet that um billboard chris put out

00:49:05.480 um saying that in the article they were saying that he pushed a woman away at her throat and he

00:49:12.780 he clarifies and he says i placed a hand on his chest as he continued to crowd my space making it

00:49:19.740 impossible for me to move screaming inches from my ear so yeah you see this is not very ladylike

00:49:25.400 everyone these are men identifying as women who are acting as men right they're getting he's getting 0.87

00:49:33.860 aggressive and he's getting handsy with another man this isn't ladylike behavior tamara i've got to 0.88

00:49:42.780 reel you in a little here i think you just twice committed a hate crime you said ladylike behavior 0.96

00:49:48.080 in this day and age of the slut walk oh you don't call these people ladies they lose their marbles um 1.00

00:49:55.380 that has something to do with hierarchy or civility or something else they hate um but look at that 0.85

00:50:02.100 creature i mean come on what concerns me is the pointy ends of these little flags right like why

00:50:08.600 the police aren't intervening here when these people have sharp objects who are clearly suffering

00:50:14.800 from some mental illness and serious aggression um this could have gone a lot worse than it did like

00:50:22.880 i mean it's it's bad enough as it is but it could have been a lot worse and the vancouver pd as a

00:50:28.060 result of what's happened here are now claiming the victim they say that the um the criticisms that

00:50:36.400 this officer has faced on twitter is just unacceptable and they're they're completely spinning

00:50:42.620 right there's a complete reversal here of the natural order as per usual where they're claiming

00:50:49.520 to have been the victims in this situation always not the people who were actually assaulted

00:50:54.820 tamara i don't know if you've ever experienced this but basically one of their

00:50:59.580 schticks for lack of a better word they surround you they wrap you in their flags you're just trying 0.91

00:51:06.920 to move and if your foot even touches their foot they scream they fall down they call for law

00:51:15.880 enforcement i've been assaulted it it is unbelievable uh but and by the way um because i did see an

00:51:23.360 anti-fascist flag there you see increasingly people with the antifa movement which is really all about

00:51:30.580 fascism with their tactics and methods um they are now wrapping themselves in the rainbow flag so

00:51:37.580 yes there you go you see that picture anti-fascist so it's almost like the middle finger oh yeah always

00:51:45.000 and again that's how you want to have a debate you know if you're doing the middle finger profanity

00:51:52.300 throwing haymakers you've already lost but what i was about to say is that antifa is increasingly

00:51:57.920 wrapping themselves in these rainbow flags and sort of um you know getting a get out of jail free card

00:52:05.280 by doing so yeah absolutely and i mean what do our viewers think anyone who's tuning in on the live

00:52:12.460 stream uh do you have any opinions on this any thoughts um do you agree that this officer should be

00:52:19.060 you know investigated and and potentially fired um are are they right to be claiming the victim here

00:52:26.000 uh what should should have happened in the moment you know should they have taken action as police are

00:52:32.080 hired by the public right let's not forget that these are taxpayer funded employees of ours meant to

00:52:39.240 ensure our public safety and keep our peace um should they have intervened sooner should there have been

00:52:46.840 some arrests made in the field let us know in the comments below i think we'll go to a quick ad break

00:52:51.780 before we come back to hopefully some chats and then if not we will uh touch quickly on the toronto

00:52:58.340 mayoral race and how they are moving to decriminalize illicit drugs for children shameful for children

00:53:08.820 my mug i know it's pretty cool so is this hoodie i got on and you could have it on too if you check

00:53:20.140 out our special website at rebelnewstore.com that's where you can see freedom focus hoodies that we have

00:53:26.660 for you beanies cell phone cases you name it all while supporting our journalism where we fight to

00:53:33.000 bring you the other side of the story as opposed to you know being forced by the trudeau government

00:53:37.480 to fund leftist media out of your taxes the truth is without you and your generosity there is no

00:53:45.320 rebel news so again if you like the reports that we bring you and that we also fight for freedoms in

00:53:52.720 canada please consider doing some shopping picking up some swag at rebelnewstore.com we appreciate your 0.60

00:53:59.660 support so tamara please tell me my eyes are playing tricks on me or that this is a april fool's

00:54:12.060 day joke two days past its best before date but toronto demanding decriminalization of fentanyl and meth

00:54:20.920 for kids oh my gosh i wish it were an april fool's day joke actually this was this first came out on

00:54:27.520 march 31st so it's a couple days old that was on friday um so yeah the the city of toronto the

00:54:34.260 first uh sentence reads here has released its sweeping plan to decriminalize all hard drugs

00:54:40.260 including fentanyl and crack cocaine for any age and the sweeping plan you can check it out for

00:54:44.840 yourself there with the hyperlink toronto's request is even more lenient than the decriminalization

00:54:50.500 order granted to the entire province of british columbia by prime minister justin trudeau earlier this year

00:54:56.400 the city is asking that the federal government grant a health canada exemption for all drugs

00:55:02.120 extending even to children unbelievable in british columbia's case they granted the exemption only

00:55:08.700 applied to adults but uh toronto wants it to include all people including youth because criminalization

00:55:16.180 does not effectively deter youth substance use the data show that youth in toronto between the ages of 12

00:55:22.200 and 17 use unregulated i.e illegal drugs and are vulnerable to the same harms associated with

00:55:30.560 criminalization as adults uh this exemption does not apply to child care facilities airports or schools

00:55:38.240 right because those places need to be safe and we need to not promote the use of illicit drugs in those

00:55:45.040 facilities um but nonetheless this is just more woke bogus policy attorney pushed forward by the city

00:55:53.820 of toronto i guess because they don't really have a mayor and so the mayor the official uh candidacy i

00:55:59.720 think it is kicks off today there david yeah no there's the first day to register for mayor and i think

00:56:04.800 you're right uh when the cat's away the rats will play and you know tamara it is unbelievable i mean like

00:56:10.640 why just um fentanyl and meth um if you're a drunk driver you've lost your license maybe had a serious

00:56:16.940 accident maybe you killed somebody so you don't have access to your car anymore why don't we reach

00:56:21.120 out to that alcoholic staying at home and bring him a bourbon and scotch so uh he doesn't uh get a

00:56:27.740 case of withdrawal you know tamara uh a week ago friday i was attending it was a business association

00:56:34.420 dinner out in scarborough uh alberta premier danielle smith was being uh given an award and i won't go

00:56:41.880 too deep into the details but in her acceptance speech she talked about how alberta is serving as 1.00

00:56:47.940 a model for the rest of canada and indeed dare i say the world in terms of dealing with those addicted

00:56:55.080 to these hard drugs and essentially you know the police go over and they say listen you have a choice

00:57:00.060 you can go into rehabilitation or you can go to jail so they almost always choose rehabilitation

00:57:05.080 when they're there they are put in to facilities that look like college dormitories and um they are

00:57:12.920 they live in a communal basis um they're taught once again because you have to introduce for some of

00:57:19.860 these people they've been so debilitated for so long uh they can't function alone so you teach them

00:57:27.360 how to cook how to shop and half the day is spent you know doing chores uh the other half of the day

00:57:35.340 is spent um you know taking seminars uh taking those programs that are designed to get you off

00:57:44.080 these horrible drugs that when used as directed are going to end your life that's how we should be

00:57:51.200 taking care of this issue not facilitating more consumption because otherwise you know it's a

00:57:58.280 really a tale of two cities you can have the alberta model or you can go to vancouver and you can go to

00:58:03.280 certain parts of the of the downtown area that look like the set for the walking dead they are dangerous

00:58:09.180 places i side with the alberta model yep i side with the fact that this is further enabling an issue

00:58:17.280 and we can see that through harm reduction policies that there isn't very much harm that's actually

00:58:23.800 being reduced we have more overdoses more use of illicit drugs than ever before in the places where

00:58:31.980 these progressive policies have been welcomed and taken up by uh government officials and um and again

00:58:41.540 it's taxpayers footing the bill to give drugs to addicts instead of getting them the help and the

00:58:49.660 mental health supports that they need right it's not just drug addiction i will fully acknowledge that

00:58:55.100 there is a whole litany of mental health issues usually stemming from childhood trauma that takes place

00:59:02.840 and is the precursor to addiction and we need to be addressing and facilitating mental health supports

00:59:10.300 and and support for that child dealing with and addressing that childhood trauma that stems as

00:59:17.680 and turns into the need and the the feelings of utilizing drugs and addiction if we spent the

00:59:25.020 billions of dollars that we're giving to big pharma to fund use of illicit drugs and giving them to

00:59:31.420 children on the streets if we switched and we put that money over into mental health supports that

00:59:36.600 we're actually providing tangible resources to individuals who need that sort of care then i think

00:59:44.200 you're going to be looking at a much cleaner more functioning societal fabric outcome at the end of the day

00:59:51.640 than just enabling drug addiction and letting people spiral out of control with their addictions

00:59:57.680 under the guise of being progressive and and and humane right this is sold to the public as those things

01:00:05.160 meanwhile you're ignoring the root of the issue and you're just enabling an addict to destroy their

01:00:10.000 lives and everyone around them no uh you're 100 right tamara and when we add the age equation to this

01:00:17.540 correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this child abuse i mean you know if if a mom pa convenience store

01:00:25.520 sells a pack of cigarettes to somebody who's just even a few months under the age majority uh they're going to

01:00:32.180 get heavily fined eventually lose their liquor license you know you can go to a liquor control

01:00:36.680 board of ontario store and if you have somebody who's a minor even uh holding um a bottle for you

01:00:43.880 to bring to the cash register um that's not allowed right so there's all this you know regulation out

01:00:52.280 there in terms of you know protecting minors from things like liquor tobacco but when when it comes

01:01:00.240 to these hardcore fentanyl are you kidding me i mean right tamara like i said in my book that is child

01:01:09.080 abuse by the state absolutely yeah and you bring up a good point there on the tobacco you know i remember

01:01:16.280 as a kid my mom sending me the corner store i go pick up a you know here's five dollars at the time

01:01:21.320 right that's how much they were maybe even less go pick me up a pack of cigarettes and she had to send 1.00

01:01:25.800 me with a note and sometimes they had to call and that was you know in very early on in the uh would

01:01:31.220 have been the early 90s and uh the convenience store used to give me a pack of cigarettes but you know

01:01:35.900 fast track five ten years afterward you couldn't go into a convenience store and purchase a pack of

01:01:41.160 smokes if you didn't have id to show on you for the life of you and um and now we're just going to be

01:01:49.200 giving those minors fentanyl i mean wow we've really come full circle haven't we oh you know 0.89

01:01:55.700 tamara it's worse than you say because the government i know ontario does this i'm sure the

01:02:00.900 other provinces do they stage sting operations so they get somebody who looks that like they're older

01:02:09.220 than um 18 but in reality they're 16 or 17 and basically if the shop owner doesn't ask for

01:02:17.700 government photo id uh they're fined and and i think it's three strikes and you're out eventually

01:02:23.700 you lose your tobacco license which for a variety store that's an economic death sentence so yeah and

01:02:29.560 by the way you are right i remember you know back in the uh late 60s early 70s for my grandparents

01:02:35.600 we lived on lawrence avenue i'd go to the variety store with a two dollar bill remember those uh once

01:02:41.560 one time kids there was no such thing as a toonie there was a pink two dollar bill and a handwritten

01:02:48.140 note you know uh please give david a pack of craven a king size i even remember the brand right

01:02:55.660 oh my god if you were to do that today like i said you risk losing your license but apparently

01:03:01.320 a meth fentanyl for children because the government is the drug dealer that's okay this is despicable

01:03:08.560 yeah i agree well and i wanted to go back to this true north article quickly because at the very

01:03:14.680 last sentence um it says at the same time toronto has moved to introduce a pilot program to allow

01:03:24.580 drinking in public parks so get this david we have alcohol we have fentanyl and we have meth and we

01:03:32.760 minors what could possibly go wrong yeah i mean you know if if it's someone in a park having a picnic

01:03:41.260 and they're responsible i mean you see this in europe all over the place there really isn't a problem

01:03:47.140 but as you know tamara many of toronto's parks and with the warmer weather coming you'll see uh as sure as

01:03:54.800 mosquitoes and flies become part of the the fabric you're going to see these tent cities pop up 0.94

01:04:00.760 and um yeah you can i can see liquor uh binging going on there and you're right uh a mentally ill 0.65

01:04:07.980 person who has an access who has access to um oh big dangerous dogs um what could possibly go wrong

01:04:16.200 especially after they're drugged up or liquored up it unbelievable it truly is in this pilot program

01:04:24.220 yeah let's well i guess we'll wait and see how it turns out depending on who the new mayor of toronto will

01:04:29.500 be uh i assume will be a big part of whether or not these projects go forward you know tamara it is

01:04:37.820 fascinating who the mayor is going to be the field gets more crowded with every passing day and you

01:04:46.240 know when you look at all the vote splitting that might happen conceivably somebody might become mayor

01:04:51.620 with a single digit percentage in other words nine percent of the vote and you're carried in i mean

01:04:57.840 not really a mandate to boast about is it no definitely not but there's a couple contenders and

01:05:05.780 have you been following it you've probably been following it closer than i have i know that

01:05:09.800 you know ben bankus uh the comedian is running chris sky the freedom fighter um he's running and then

01:05:16.800 that there was a latest one a former police chief um what is his name yes thank you yes yeah you know

01:05:26.320 oh go ahead if someone like him were to be elected i would assume that pilot projects such as this would

01:05:32.620 not move forward yeah um i want a tough on crime mayor for sure and i do love ben bankus for proving

01:05:41.420 my theory correct whenever he's making a video statement he's waving the trans flag it's kind of like

01:05:50.180 you know standing behind uh superman's cape of invulnerability you know that no matter and he's

01:05:56.940 not even talking about trans issues he's just waving it as though it's a magic wand to protect them

01:06:03.680 from any criticism because if you take issue with any of ben bankus's platforms well uh you are

01:06:10.780 obviously a transphobe and there can be nothing worse that's right if you haven't seen some of his

01:06:18.480 comedic relief i highly recommend because it's uh it's pretty funny um but nonetheless we are at 207

01:06:24.600 now so we are going to say goodbye to our viewers at home but i think it will be myself and david or

01:06:31.260 maybe even ezra back same time and place tomorrow yes so it is be sure to stay tuned tamara ugolini and

01:06:39.280 the big boss man himself ezra levant uh lincoln and i will be how shall i put this on assignment

01:06:46.860 and that and we really are mission specialist right so we'll be somewhere in the uh greater

01:06:53.800 toronto area doing some form of journalism and if it pays off it's going to be a whopper of a story

01:06:59.020 and that's all i'm going to say about that so thanks again to uh super producers efren and olivia

01:07:05.020 thank you tamara for your time thank you for all the viewers that watched us and as we said

01:07:10.820 come here uh at um one o'clock eastern tomorrow tuesday and you'll get more of tamara ugolini and

01:07:19.680 the always brilliant ezra event as always stay safe and stay sane uh less than a week after the safe

01:07:28.320 third country agreement was amended eight people died attempting to cross the border by boat are you

01:07:34.340 concerned that the changes you made to the safe third country agreements are going to encourage riskier

01:07:39.100 crossings of course uh the tragedy uh is immeasurable uh we think of the families uh and the uh

01:07:49.700 extraordinarily difficult moments that were the last for these families including uh young kids

01:07:55.320 we can't even imagine what they're going through we need to be there to support uh families and folks

01:08:02.360 like them but i i want us to be very very careful about jumping to conclusions this was a

01:08:08.960 horrific story uh and there is a proper investigation going on we need to understand

01:08:14.160 all the facts involved uh before we draw conclusions but we do need to make sure we're

01:08:19.400 doing everything we can and continuing to do everything we can to remain an open and welcoming

01:08:25.220 country with a rigorous and well-applied immigration system that also protects the

01:08:30.600 most vulnerable that's what we'll continue to do
