Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Women's rights talk cancelled, Trudeau meets Alberta CEOs, Pushback against MAID

00:00:00.000 Hi, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Revel News daily live stream.

00:00:19.320 I am your guest host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, just flung into the role about a half an hour ago.

00:00:26.160 So I really don't know a lot of, not that I don't know a lot about the topics that we're going to talk about, but I'm, they're going to be a surprise to all of us.

00:00:33.620 So I'll do my best to talk about these things on the fly.

00:00:38.440 Normally the show is hosted by David Menzies and a rotating cast of characters, but David is on a very special assignment this morning and couldn't be with us.

00:00:47.240 His special assignment ran late, which is why, hello, I'm here.

00:00:51.780 But I'm joined by my co-host today, Drea Humphrey, who hopefully is more prepared than I.

00:00:57.440 Drea, how's it going?

00:00:59.360 Well, I was just going to say, you know, these live streams, because of the time they start in BC, I'm always driving around and running and racing and I do my best.

00:01:06.860 So this should be an interesting show.

00:01:08.680 But that's also what makes the daily roundup great is that it's unscripted.

00:01:13.620 You get to know us a little bit better and we get to know you a bit better too.

00:01:17.380 And a fun way to do that is through the live chat options on Rumble and Odyssey.

00:01:24.120 So like I said, we're just going to be chatting the daily news with you and you can let us know your comments and thoughts on that or give us some news by donating there.

00:01:34.520 And we read that, make it part of the show.

00:01:36.440 So it's pretty cool.

00:01:37.180 I'm looking forward to the topics.

00:01:38.440 It's a good list, whether we're overly prepared or not.

00:01:41.640 Well, thank you for setting the bar so low.

00:01:46.920 Expectations lowered.

00:01:49.200 But let's get right into it.

00:01:51.740 We should, did we tell everybody about the, sorry, I was rapidly reading the topics while you were talking and it's not like I wasn't paying attention.

00:01:59.900 I was trying to prepare.

00:02:02.840 But did we tell everybody about chats?

00:02:07.400 We did.

00:02:08.340 See, we're on it.

00:02:09.220 We're on the ball.

00:02:09.740 No, you are.

00:02:10.860 You are.

00:02:13.640 I'm not.

00:02:14.400 I was filming my weekly paywalled show just before I came on to this.

00:02:19.400 In fact, while I was filming, I was like, Efron, quit calling me on Skype.

00:02:23.560 I'm recording somewhere else.

00:02:25.240 I can't be on the live stream yet.

00:02:26.780 So here we are.

00:02:28.380 Let's start with the first block of topics that we've listed under LGBT and feminism.

00:02:34.680 First topic of the day is women's rights talk canceled by British Columbia Community Center for promoting discrimination, contempt or hatred against trans people.

00:02:45.840 We've come full circle, where you just talk about women's spaces and women's rights, and if you don't include the surgically created women, you are discriminating against people all of a sudden. 0.69

00:03:01.620 I think it was funny, though, how it wasn't discrimination in the before times when you talked about women's only spaces.

00:03:09.360 You weren't discriminating against men then, but then when the men started identifying as women, then you're discriminating.

00:03:16.220 I like how that sort of morphed into something new.

00:03:21.180 Well, yeah, in the last, like, we have Pride season, and I guess it's Pride, or no, LGBT History Month and things like that.

00:03:31.340 And to some extent, some people feel like that's a little bit exclusionary, too, but no one makes a big deal about it.

00:03:36.900 If you don't fit into it or you don't want to celebrate it, you see even the LGBT members saying, we want a divorce from what's going on.

00:03:44.760 So even some of them feel like those types of things are not inclusive.

00:03:48.120 But here you are standing up or just talking about it.

00:03:51.520 It's actually a discussion to talk about safe spaces for women and children.

00:03:57.160 And so this was the Chalikin Community Centre that last minute, you know, cancels on them.

00:04:03.200 This, as a little bit of a precursor to this, I have a report coming out, should be out today.

00:04:07.840 Just a couple of days ago, there was a sold-out talk hosted by Megan Murphy.

00:04:13.380 She is a Canadian author and a women's rights activist, and it was sold out.

00:04:18.440 But that show was originally cancelled as well.

00:04:20.980 It was supposed to originally be done in Nanaimo.

00:04:24.980 And same thing, at the stroke of midnight, this pressure comes in from, you know, people calling it hate, and then they cancelled.

00:04:32.400 But thankfully, the Salterre Community Centre allowed them to host it last minute.

00:04:37.900 And like I said, the tickets were completely sold out.

00:04:40.120 It was a panel, and I think the main part of that report is that they welcomed, you know, this Chalikin Community Centre is saying this is exclusive.

00:04:49.000 But the evidence shows in my report coming out, they actually welcomed some of the LGBTQ activists who were outside protesting to go ahead and take the mic.

00:04:58.020 So this isn't an exclusionary event.

00:05:00.180 And it's just an event about an important discussion.

00:05:03.180 I'm going to read just a little bit of the excuse Chalikin Community Centre sent to cancel on them.

00:05:11.180 It says,

00:05:41.180 Right there, you can see that they are still going on, still going strong, and the new event is happening tonight in Parksville.

00:05:48.940 So it's just this cancel culture stuff is getting so tired and so played out.

00:05:55.120 You know, we showed a clip of the counter-protesters being invited to take the mic.

00:06:02.500 They were given a round of applause.

00:06:05.840 And, you know, it's just the idea that they were okay to walk into the building and take the mic and feel comfortable to take the mic with a countervailing viewpoint.

00:06:19.880 It sort of blows a hole in their argument that the other side of the debate from radical transgenderism is violent, genocidal, bunch of Nazis who won't let you speak and don't care about you.

00:06:36.280 So, the opposite is true, right?

00:06:40.960 Like, they were invited and felt safe enough to take the mic.

00:06:45.340 You know, if you were in a room with genocide heirs, you probably wouldn't be like, I'll tell you what I think.

00:06:51.240 Exactly.

00:06:51.680 But, I mean, like, it just shows how hyperbolic the other side of this is.

00:06:57.540 I think they would say they didn't feel safe.

00:06:59.680 I think they did say that when they took the mic.

00:07:01.540 But I hope that they went home and saw that they were safe because they weren't just invited in once.

00:07:07.320 They were invited in repeatedly.

00:07:09.280 And then when they got in the room, it's like you said, you know, one of them said, you're trying to get rid of our existence.

00:07:14.520 I'm actually really excited about this report because hopefully, you know, some of the inflammatory narratives that they've been driven to believe from things like the news, I can understand why they're fearful.

00:07:27.020 Because you have, like, unions getting together and convincing them that all of these things, you know, parental rights, women's safe spaces, is about erasing them when it's not.

00:07:38.060 So, yeah.

00:07:39.560 They're really loud and colourful.

00:07:41.460 They're going to be hard to hide.

00:07:42.720 Like, it's hard to erase people who are really loud and colourful.

00:07:47.320 And I don't think that's the effort.

00:07:48.860 I don't care what they do.

00:07:51.480 I just don't want you to do it in front of my kid.

00:07:53.800 That's all.

00:07:54.940 Like, that's all.

00:07:56.300 And I think that's why they don't want us talking to each other.

00:07:58.720 I was talking to Tamara on the livestream about this yesterday.

00:08:01.680 And I think there are a lot of things upon which we agree.

00:08:07.060 For example, I don't want kids who are struggling with gender identity to kill themselves.

00:08:11.040 Of course.

00:08:11.880 I just have a different approach to that.

00:08:14.020 I think parents should be engaged if your child is suffering from a condition that will increase suicidality.

00:08:19.760 I don't think that should be hidden from parents because wouldn't you want two extra sets of eyes watching this potentially suicidal child at home?

00:08:27.480 Of course.

00:08:28.040 Of course you would.

00:08:28.980 So I think parents should be engaged.

00:08:32.700 I think parents should be able to pursue whatever sort of counselling they feel as the first best educator and the person who loves that child the most.

00:08:42.480 I think they should be able to pursue whatever counselling and help they think that child needs.

00:08:46.600 It's the other side that wants to carve out parents that I have a real problem with.

00:08:52.640 Well, exactly.

00:08:53.140 And we know from the data that even after younger people transition, it doesn't correlate with less suicidal ideation.

00:09:01.300 So, yeah.

00:09:01.920 So we know that that's not the answer.

00:09:03.620 And some of the people we've interviewed who have detransitioned, they, I think everyone that I've interviewed that detransitioned always says they believe something else was going on mental health wise. 0.99

00:09:13.480 And they really wish they had gotten that treated like Chloe Cole, for one example. 1.00

00:09:18.700 I know she says that she was misdiagnosed as being autistic and that was part of why she wasn't fitting in and things like that.

00:09:25.260 And it would have been nice if she got that diagnosis instead of, you know, led on a different trail there.

00:09:30.560 So these discussions are so important.

00:09:33.440 And it's a shame to see community centres cancelling events in their community that sell out.

00:09:40.200 And talk about being scared.

00:09:42.200 There were a lot of people who, of course, when I was filming, they didn't want their guests to the event.

00:09:46.860 They didn't want their faces on there because they're scared they're going to get cancelled from their business and stuff.

00:09:51.860 So who's really at risk here?

00:09:53.500 Well, and I noticed some of the signs, and I said this yesterday in your protest, like they have like SOGI saves lives.

00:10:00.580 So that's the comprehensive sex ed program that contaminates children's minds with sexualized thinking long before they're ready. 0.99

00:10:08.580 They say it saves lives.

00:10:10.120 Well, show me the data.

00:10:12.480 Show me the data where, you know, introducing this sort of stuff to kids actually reduces suicidality.

00:10:21.600 There's no evidence of that.

00:10:23.280 I'm sorry.

00:10:23.800 There just isn't.

00:10:25.900 Anyway, I could go on forever.

00:10:27.980 Let's talk about another thing that's happening in BC.

00:10:32.520 We've got John Rustad.

00:10:35.320 He's the BC Conservative leader.

00:10:37.600 The only one who seems to have a divergent viewpoint on these matters in all of BC government.

00:10:45.080 It seems to be quite homogenous, even on the like the the center right or the liberal party.

00:10:51.800 There is not like a Justin Trudeau liberal party, although it seems to behave sometimes like that.

00:10:56.460 It's a center right party.

00:10:58.400 It's a coalition party.

00:11:00.440 But conservatives have sort of united now.

00:11:03.680 BC united now.

00:11:04.820 That's right.

00:11:05.280 Because they needed to jettison the stigma of being liberals.

00:11:10.840 However, they are.

00:11:13.000 They were the old BC liberal party.

00:11:15.040 And they were a coalition party.

00:11:16.500 So whatever.

00:11:16.940 But conservatives need need a better alternative than was sort of watered down, whatever that is.

00:11:23.460 And so they have John Rustad, and he is sort of taking a lot of heat in BC for advocating for parents being involved in in their children's sexual education.

00:11:38.840 Yeah.

00:11:39.220 How is this controversial?

00:11:41.700 After fourth party.

00:11:43.600 Thank you, honorable speaker.

00:11:45.160 Thousands of British Columbians, many of them from minority communities, have been protesting against SOGI-123, which was originally introduced by the BC United Liberals.

00:11:55.400 Parents are concerned about the sexualization of their children in this NDP government's education system.

00:12:01.120 Will the minister admit that SOGI-123 has been divisive, an assault on parents' rights, and a distraction on student education?

00:12:09.180 Premier.

00:12:10.400 Thank you, honorable speaker.

00:12:12.340 And I welcome the member to the House as the leader of his new party.

00:12:19.300 But I've got to say, this is not an auspicious start.

00:12:22.500 You know, when you talk about the issues of the day for British Columbians, cost of living, housing, we heard from the BCUP, health care, addiction, mental health.

00:12:30.840 To come into this place, use the authority of his office, his new party, to find a small group of kids in our province, to leverage all of that, to make them feel less safe at school, less safe in our community, to feed the fires of division in our province and bring culture war to British Columbia.

00:12:50.720 It is not welcome.

00:12:53.040 And when he sat on this side of the House, he supported those same policies, honorable chair.

00:12:58.500 It is outrageous that he would stand here and do this.

00:13:01.500 He sees political advantage in picking on kids and families and teachers and schools who are just trying to do their best for kids who are at risk of suicide, honorable chair.

00:13:10.240 Shame on him.

00:13:11.460 Choose another question.

00:13:12.560 Kids at risk of suicide.

00:13:19.160 Yeah.

00:13:19.560 Like it's, you know what the problem is?

00:13:23.000 David Evie is scared.

00:13:24.600 You know why?

00:13:25.700 The large minority population in the lower mainland.

00:13:30.440 Yeah.

00:13:30.780 They turn on the current government.

00:13:34.600 It won't be good.

00:13:36.120 When you start telling socially conservative minority populations that they don't have any rights over the education of their children, that government's in real trouble.

00:13:47.460 It is.

00:13:48.300 And it's also showing to me how out of touch Evie is, or maybe he's putting on a face to be out of touch and playing dumb here.

00:13:55.300 Because out of the 92 cities that participated in the One Million March for Children, which was about the issue that Rustad just raised in the legislature, 27 were in British Columbia.

00:14:09.640 And almost all of them had more parents, families outweighing the small amount of counter-protesters.

00:14:17.120 I can only think of a couple where it was reversed.

00:14:19.520 So to condemn Rustad for raising an issue that no one else is raising, that everyone else is becoming more aware of than, you know, I'm assuming when he was on the other side, it's just, it's tone deaf.

00:14:36.080 Well, and politicians should change their minds when more information comes to light.

00:14:42.500 Like that's what I want politicians to do.

00:14:44.280 That's why we dig up the information and then show it to the world is so that when you see it, you might have a come to Jesus moment and change your mind about your viewpoint.

00:14:53.780 He's obviously changed his mind about his viewpoint.

00:14:56.240 He is representing the concerns of conservatives, which is refreshing for a conservative politician to do.

00:15:03.340 It's disorienting because I'm kind of not used to it.

00:15:07.760 But he's, he's speaking to the issues of parents and he is.

00:15:11.080 And you know what, if Evie wants to pick this fight with minority communities in the lower mainland, I say, bring it. 1.00

00:15:19.320 You know, when I was at the Regina protest, I was like, did the Sikh temple just let out?

00:15:24.560 Where did all these people come from?

00:15:26.560 Because this is an issue that is so important to minority communities who are largely social conservative.

00:15:34.000 And so when, you know, the left claims are all about diversity and, and supporting minority populations.

00:15:39.500 Well, let's see, let's see, let's see where this goes.

00:15:44.840 Well, BC is getting a little bit spicy.

00:15:47.080 That party in particular, I mean, it was briefly mentioned.

00:15:50.160 He said, welcome with being the leader of an official party.

00:15:53.280 The Conservative Party of British Columbia, I believe for the first time in 12 years, got their first MLA through Rustad, who was expelled from the former BC liberals, now BC United.

00:16:07.560 So they cancelled him on his birthday for saying something against the climate alarmist.

00:16:12.800 Nope, retweeting something against the climate alarmism sort of agenda.

00:16:17.280 So I think it's not just Evie who's scared, it must be the BC United who's scared, because they, like you said, are supposed to be a coalition that's home for the Conservatives.

00:16:27.140 I doubt they were able to ignore how many parents, families, people of colour came out to be a part of that march.

00:16:34.020 And now they see the only voice for all of these people who are concerned about SOGI 123, which is a diverse group of people in British Columbia.

00:16:42.100 The only voice being represented, represented now in the House is that of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, which just got their official party status, because Bruce Bandman from the BC United crossed the floor.

00:16:55.400 So there is a lot of spicy stuff going on right now in British Columbia, and it's leaning as far as growth wise towards the Conservative Party of BC.

00:17:04.020 And this stuff should really scare progressives, because a lot of people are single issue voters.

00:17:10.920 For a lot of people up until now, I think probably their single issue might have been affordability.

00:17:16.800 But this is next level, because a lot of parents, their children are their only concern.

00:17:24.860 That's it.

00:17:26.440 And it should be, really.

00:17:28.080 It should be.

00:17:28.660 Like when people say, I would take a bullet for my child, I would jump in front of a speeding car for my child.

00:17:33.840 I would jump in front of a train to save my child.

00:17:36.320 The train is this stuff.

00:17:38.600 The train is SOGI.

00:17:40.440 This is a battle for the hearts, the minds, the souls, and the bodies of our children.

00:17:46.520 And it leaves issues like affordability right in the dust.

00:17:50.360 And you don't even have to look all that far in the past to see where this stuff can flip from progressive to conservative nearly instantly.

00:18:01.960 It happened in Virginia.

00:18:04.380 Glenn Youngkin is the governor there in a highly Democrat state, all because of a parents uprising, because it became a single issue voter.

00:18:13.060 There were single issue voters that had previously been Democrats turn out for him because he was the only person talking about it.

00:18:21.500 Yeah, we'll see.

00:18:22.520 It should be pretty interesting.

00:18:23.660 And again, for Evie to mention, you know, housing, all these other important things, you know, as though this is not important, is just, again, mind-boggling to me, very tone-deaf.

00:18:34.900 And I think it's going to come back to bite them in the butt at least a little bit when it comes voting time in 2024, which is just around the corner, if they don't do some sort of snap election to kind of stop what's happening now.

00:18:47.740 You never know.

00:18:49.340 Oh, BC is always interesting, though, because, you know, you have the greens sort of holding the balance of power there.

00:18:56.020 It's odd.

00:18:57.140 Anyways, let's next story on the same issue.

00:19:00.800 This one makes me laugh because it goes to my theory that these males competing in ladies' sports because they put on a ladies' bathing suit are nothing but a bunch of cheaters. 0.77

00:19:14.940 And when presented with a level playing ground, they don't want to play there.

00:19:21.260 And we can see that here.

00:19:23.400 So, swimming World Cup category for transgender athletes cancelled after, you guessed it, no entries received.

00:19:31.300 The open category to hold on hold after no entrance in Berlin World Aquatics says it will try inclusive initiative again.

00:19:39.840 Well, of course, if you were a mediocre male athlete, why would you want to compete in people who might be close in biological build as you when you could just go into the ladies' category and smoke them? 0.98

00:19:57.700 Yeah.

00:19:58.720 It's perfect.

00:19:59.420 I mean, exactly.

00:20:01.220 That's exactly what it is.

00:20:02.600 And isn't this equality?

00:20:04.080 Actually, I'm just going to touch on what you just said there.

00:20:06.120 That is exactly what it is because we see way less women who identify as men entering men's sports than the other way around.

00:20:16.140 So, this is actually evening out the playing field and it's equality.

00:20:21.980 Okay, let's accommodate.

00:20:23.860 You know, I'm not saying they're disabled, but we have our, you know, disability Olympics, things like that.

00:20:28.760 So, let's accommodate.

00:20:30.180 Let's have a bathroom for you. 1.00

00:20:31.600 Let's do all these things.

00:20:32.680 It's like, we're not tyrants here.

00:20:34.540 You know, let's just make things fair.

00:20:37.340 You know, male-bodied individuals shouldn't be competing with women. 1.00

00:20:41.700 It's not fair.

00:20:43.740 It's not wrong. 0.84

00:20:44.400 No, this is perfect.

00:20:45.560 They know they'll lose.

00:20:48.840 They don't join the open category because this isn't about wanting to compete in their sport in a level playing field in fair competition.

00:20:57.780 This is about being better women than we are. 0.97

00:21:01.420 Well, and it reminds me of our colleague, David Menzies, great coverage with all of the rugby stuff with that man.

00:21:08.920 I think that the name is Ash.

00:21:11.580 Identifies as a non-binary person named Ash.

00:21:16.440 But it also reminds me of why, you know, women might want to hang on to a player like that.

00:21:21.980 Maybe they also don't necessarily want it when they've got a tough, you know, the hardest rugby hitter that he got in the men's league, right?

00:21:31.100 The hardest rugby hitter.

00:21:32.540 And then he comes over to the women's.

00:21:33.560 Do you want to hold on to that too?

00:21:34.900 You don't want, you know, a transgender league either. 1.00

00:21:38.780 No, of course not.

00:21:39.540 Although I would watch the hell out of that.

00:21:41.920 I would too.

00:21:43.860 It would do good.

00:21:44.880 It would do good.

00:21:46.000 You know what?

00:21:47.640 There are enough.

00:21:48.720 I don't know if there's enough.

00:21:49.680 But there are transgender people who are against competing against women and who don't want to go into women's spaces.

00:21:56.680 So they should really champion stuff like this and give it a shot.

00:21:59.580 And, you know, maybe if they're not even that athletic, they'll be like the number one, right?

00:22:03.940 Right.

00:22:04.320 All of a sudden you are, which is that's exactly what Liar Thomas is doing.

00:22:10.320 He was not all that athletic.

00:22:12.400 He was not that great of a male swimmer.

00:22:14.380 So he's like, yeah, I'm a lady now.

00:22:16.120 Look at me in this leotard.

00:22:19.120 Wow.

00:22:19.500 Anyway, let's move ahead.

00:22:23.600 Let's skip the Colin Rugg video.

00:22:27.460 The Rishi Sunak.

00:22:29.200 Actually, you know what?

00:22:29.880 Let's show this.

00:22:31.980 Because the UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, he blasts, this is shocking to me.

00:22:38.520 He blasts, blasts the woke gender cult and says a man is a man and a woman is a woman.

00:22:45.320 I did not expect this from him at all.

00:22:47.740 I'm shocked.

00:22:48.500 Anyways, let's see.

00:22:51.220 And it also shouldn't be controversial for parents to know what their children are being taught in school about relationships.

00:22:58.720 Patients should know when hospitals are talking about men or women.

00:23:03.200 And we shouldn't get bullied.

00:23:05.700 Nice.

00:23:06.300 And we shouldn't get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be.

00:23:18.120 They can't.

00:23:19.100 A man is a man and a woman is a woman. 1.00

00:23:21.360 That's just common sense.

00:23:28.800 Wow.

00:23:30.840 Usually the conservatives.

00:23:32.360 Well, and usually the conservatives in the UK are just like this mushy, reminds me of all the UK food, right?

00:23:41.120 It's just sort of bland and tasteless and kind of boiled.

00:23:45.360 But that was spicy and common sensical.

00:23:48.560 And I'm shocked.

00:23:49.940 I'm glad.

00:23:50.480 It's so weird that being common sensical is spicy.

00:23:54.660 Like it should not be.

00:23:57.460 But yeah, that was interesting to see.

00:23:59.180 But I think the UK is a little bit ahead of us.

00:24:01.600 Like when I think of transitioning children, they're certainly, they were doing that at larger volumes faster or earlier than we started doing it.

00:24:10.920 That's why you saw their, you know, number one gender clinic get shut down. 1.00

00:24:15.160 And I think there are over a thousand families that came together to try to sue for their young adults who they believe shouldn't have been transitioned.

00:24:23.980 So I think part of what we're seeing there, too, is that they're a little bit ahead of us in the pushback and seeing that, oh, you know, we've gone too far in this affirm all things trans.

00:24:36.460 And so people are going, you know, if you wanted the LGBT and a little plus, but now kids are being taught there's 50 or more genders.

00:24:45.040 I mean, they can't even learn the ABCs yet at five.

00:24:49.160 And they're being told there's so many genders, more than 26 letters in the alphabet.

00:24:53.240 So, yeah, it was good to see that.

00:24:56.140 By the way, did you see that they added another Q?

00:24:58.820 The LGBTQ acronym?

00:25:03.340 I think it means questioning.

00:25:04.740 I don't know.

00:25:06.180 But I'm worried that we're all just going to be transgender or at least in the LGBT umbrella because they keep adding all these things.

00:25:14.940 Like I said that they're eventually going to add like heterosexual tomboy.

00:25:19.040 So they're going to add HT.

00:25:20.260 And then all of a sudden I'm in the gender cult.

00:25:22.680 They're going to get me.

00:25:23.740 I am happy.

00:25:24.940 I'm happy because they hijacked the symbol of the rainbow, which is a godly symbol.

00:25:30.880 But now they're so obsessed with adding things that you can see those triangles are encroaching the rainbow.

00:25:36.360 So it's not even going to be a rainbow flag soon.

00:25:39.420 I don't know where to look on that flag.

00:25:41.320 You know, like when you look at stuff and you sort of get dizzy because your eyes are sort of jotting all over.

00:25:45.720 That's how I feel when I look at that flag because I'm like, where's my eye supposed to land on this confusing thing?

00:25:51.740 It reminds me of, do you remember when, I'm going to really date myself with this Simpsons reference, but when Homer made his first website and it had like clapping Jesus and chattering teeth and like all these like emojis dancing on this screen.

00:26:12.060 And it was just a pile of clutter and bells ringing.

00:26:15.480 That's how I feel when I look at that flag.

00:26:18.180 I'm like, where do I look?

00:26:19.180 What's happening here?

00:26:20.180 I think it's fitting.

00:26:21.140 I think it makes sense for it to be like that.

00:26:23.400 If you ask people, for example, what exactly they pronounce.

00:26:26.500 Oh, where's my page?

00:26:27.500 Oh my gosh, you found it.

00:26:29.560 Look at Jesus.

00:26:30.580 That's how I feel.

00:26:31.620 That's how I feel when I look at that flag.

00:26:33.760 I'm like, they just keep adding stuff to it.

00:26:35.920 And it enrages me.

00:26:37.160 It makes me mad because I don't know where to look and it makes me a little dizzy.

00:26:40.300 Right.

00:26:40.840 But many of them, like the they's, they don't know what they are. 1.00

00:26:44.140 If you ask like, what is they?

00:26:45.380 It means like, I'm not sure.

00:26:46.360 Like today I might feel like a woman and I might be a man this day and I'm not really sure.

00:26:50.040 So just call me they.

00:26:51.140 So it seems fitting.

00:26:55.060 Okay, let's keep going.

00:26:57.420 A Swiss writer who called a journalist, look, this is probably in poor taste, but is it jail time poor taste?

00:27:04.040 No.

00:27:04.260 A Swiss writer who called journalist fat lesbian.

00:27:07.260 You know what?

00:27:07.640 If that were the like least of the things I was called in a day at work on the internet, I would be happy.

00:27:14.200 But sentence to 60 days in prisons, LGBTQ groups applaud the decision. 1.00

00:27:20.440 They're like, yep, lock up the people who hurt our feelings and they're not tyrants.

00:27:26.260 This is crazy.

00:27:29.200 Okay, so I didn't get a chance.

00:27:30.820 Yeah, I was going to say, I didn't get a chance to read this.

00:27:32.600 Did he actually go to jail for saying that?

00:27:35.900 Okay, so this.

00:27:37.760 Okay, so a court.

00:27:39.060 You got it.

00:27:39.740 Okay.

00:27:40.380 No, you go, you go.

00:27:41.800 Okay.

00:27:42.020 A court in Switzerland sent us a writer and commentator to 60 days in jail for calling a journalist a fat lesbian.

00:27:47.900 And the decision is being lauded by LGBTQ plus groups.

00:27:51.460 You forgot the Q, guys.

00:27:53.260 There's two Qs.

00:27:54.080 On Monday, French-Swiss polemicist, Alan Bonnet, I guess he's Swiss, so it's Bonnet, who goes by Alain Searle, was sentenced by the Lusanne Court for the crimes of defamation, discrimination, and incitement to hatred after he criticized Catherine Mecherel, a journalist for Swiss newspapers, Tribune de Genève, and 24 Hours.

00:28:22.960 In a Facebook video two years ago, the court has made an important, the court decision is an important moment for justice and rights of the LGBTQI people in Switzerland.

00:28:38.460 Said the co-director of a lesbian activist group, the conviction of Alain Searle is a strong sign that homophobic hatred cannot be tolerated in our society.

00:28:49.140 In addition to the prison time, Searle was subsequently ordered to pay legal fees and fines, totaling thousands of Swiss francs.

00:28:56.460 Oh, my God.

00:29:26.440 It's been used backwards.

00:29:27.520 I won't get into it because I'm not a lawyer, but basically, it's very hard to win a defamation case out here, and I think Ontario, too.

00:29:35.420 I'm in shock.

00:29:36.620 I'm in shock.

00:29:37.080 This is horrible.

00:29:38.140 Imagine going to jail for 60 days for, you know, something you did two years ago.

00:29:45.140 I don't understand this.

00:29:46.340 It's like fat is a descriptor, and I'm reliably informed by the, yeah, lesbian is a matter of fact. 1.00

00:29:54.560 That lady described herself as the head of a lesbian activist group. 1.00

00:29:58.360 So what is the problem here?

00:30:00.940 I'm reliably informed by fat activists that fat is beautiful, and so calling somebody fat is akin to calling them beautiful.

00:30:08.760 You should have went with that.

00:30:12.040 I don't understand.

00:30:13.540 Like, I don't understand if it's an insult here, but it's not an insult there.

00:30:19.420 I don't understand.

00:30:21.500 I think I don't even know what the lady looks like. 1.00

00:30:24.480 He probably accurately described her, and now I'm going to go to jail in Switzerland.

00:30:29.920 Yeah, there's a little bit more.

00:30:32.160 He probably served a lot of chocolate.

00:30:33.640 Yeah, good thing we don't live there, but there's a little bit more context, but still, I'm still missing how he got found guilty.

00:30:41.960 Says, called her a fat lesbian, criticized her work as a queer activist, and said she was unhinged in a social media video.

00:30:51.300 I swear we've done the unhinged title on so many videos and articles.

00:30:56.500 Like, I think we lead with unhinged sometimes.

00:30:58.840 He's a commenter.

00:31:01.120 Wow.

00:31:01.720 He comments.

00:31:03.140 He's a political commenter.

00:31:06.380 What can you say?

00:31:09.020 If you are having somebody criminally charged for describing an overweight, same-sex attracted woman as a fat lesbian, I'm going to go out on a limb and call you unhinged.

00:31:27.560 I just wouldn't say that.

00:31:28.840 I think that's crazy.

00:31:30.620 Yeah, I just won't say it in Switzerland.

00:31:32.860 Olivia whispers in my ear, are there extradition agreements with Canada?

00:31:39.660 Justin Stroh would probably just give me to them.

00:31:43.400 Take her. 0.75

00:31:44.260 Get her out of here. 1.00

00:31:45.660 Anyway, Olivia tells me we should hit an ad break before we go into the next segment on Trudeau and the carbon tax.

00:31:53.940 Come on out November 25th.

00:31:57.860 It's all aboard the Freedom Train in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

00:32:23.460 And the legendary R&B master, Leroy Emanuel.

00:33:00.500 Just in Trudeau's new censorship law, Bill C-18, it's a shakedown and a desperate attempt to keep the mainstream media afloat.

00:33:11.800 Many have already lost their ability to access our Facebook and Instagram pages.

00:33:16.380 The blackout will soon affect every user in Canada.

00:33:39.160 Okay, let's go into Justin Trudeau not knowing about recent Alberta history.

00:33:45.340 But why would we?

00:33:46.620 He forgets to thank us or acknowledge us during Canada Day ceremonies.

00:33:51.220 So, like, why would he know anything about us?

00:33:54.620 That was intentional, man.

00:33:57.560 Oh, for sure.

00:33:58.120 We don't even exist.

00:34:00.500 Although he's finding out the hard way that we do, thanks to our new premier, feisty Daniel Smith, ready to fight with him on everything, which is great.

00:34:08.840 We've got a video of Trudeau telling a group of Alberta CEOs that unnamed politicians, talking about Daniel Smith here, opposed to the Liberals' energy plans, are denying certainty to investors and business leaders, denying workers' opportunities, and denying our kids and grandkids the secure future they deserve.

00:34:30.920 Let's let Justin Trudeau talk about this, and then I'll tell you why he's an idiot for this specific reason.

00:34:39.420 There are lots of reasons he's an idiot, but I can deal with this thing right now.

00:34:43.100 Our government has made a significant commitment to being a partner with the business community in our collective work to build a clean economy.

00:34:51.440 We've committed billions through investment tax credits for CCS, clean electricity, and clean technology.

00:34:59.780 Unfortunately, there are politicians who'd rather rile up people's fears and anxieties instead of focusing on what we can do, what we need to do to secure a strong future for our economy.

00:35:12.120 We need to make the very best use of the know-how of our energy industry and energy workers, so we can make sure that Canada continues to lead.

00:35:21.460 The politicians who'd rather deny the facts of the matter than take action to meet this moment are denying certainty to investors and business leaders, denying workers' opportunities, and denying our kids and grandkids the secure future they deserve.

00:35:37.620 You've got to throw the kids in there for sure. 1.00

00:35:48.120 This is an absolute idiotic statement for him to make because Albertans are not hard of remembering.

00:35:54.380 We just lived through the NDP here from 2015 to 2019, and we know what their anti-energy policies did to our oil patch.

00:36:03.740 It caused nearly immediate flight from Alberta.

00:36:08.720 All these multinational oil companies said, you know what?

00:36:12.200 It's a lot safer to do business, economically speaking, in Kazakhstan, or places where you just pay the local warlord off so that you can do business there. 0.88

00:36:25.080 You know, Iraq, where, you know, like, it was easier to do business in the parts of the world where ISIS might come and just take your drilling platform from you, than to do business here in Alberta.

00:36:39.420 We had companies just pack up and leave.

00:36:43.240 And with that, it was like nothing to hear every day of 800 jobs lost here, another 600 jobs lost there.

00:36:52.700 It was constant.

00:36:54.280 There are people who tell me stories of what it was like to work in downtown Calgary during those days of the NDP, especially in their first little bit after they passed the carbon tax that they didn't campaign on.

00:37:08.000 Businesses were blindsided by that, and then they just said, you know what?

00:37:12.300 Can't, we're not, we're out.

00:37:13.900 There would be a lineup of cabs on Monday morning at those head offices and people coming downstairs with their belongings because they had been laid off.

00:37:23.640 And one of my colleagues here at Rebel News, Holly Nicholas, was one of them.

00:37:27.260 She's a geologist.

00:37:28.180 And she reported for us for a few years before she went back to school, but she was one of those laid off geologists. 0.99

00:37:36.800 But just to, in February, Devon Energy left, Apache left, Stat Oil left, EOG left, Shell withdrew an application for an oil sands mine.

00:37:50.400 ConocoPhillips sold a massive land package in November 2015.

00:37:54.300 Guess when that was?

00:37:55.480 That was right when the NDP carbon tax came.

00:38:00.360 Murphy Oil sold its 5% interest in Sincrude to Suncor.

00:38:06.100 Chevron left.

00:38:08.280 And they cited high operating costs.

00:38:10.860 Well, what would have added to those high operating costs except the NDP's anti-oil agenda, including the carbon tax?

00:38:19.040 Diamondback Energy had big losses.

00:38:21.800 It was just everybody left to the point where, and now there's so much stigma attached to being a Canadian oil company that TransCanada changed its name to TC because they needed to obscure the stigma of actually being a Canadian company.

00:38:40.060 We have the world's third largest provable oil reserves.

00:38:44.980 And you cannot get an energy project done in this country.

00:38:48.100 And for Justin Trudeau to say, oh, it's politicians like Danielle Smith who were saying, we're pro-oil and gas?

00:38:55.220 They're the problem with investor uncertainty?

00:38:58.840 Really?

00:38:59.740 Are you crazy?

00:39:00.840 Saskatchewan shares an oil field with North Dakota.

00:39:06.820 During Justin Trudeau's leadership, guess where all the oil companies parked their projects?

00:39:14.480 Not in Saskatchewan, which shares an oil patch with North Dakota.

00:39:19.000 They went to North Dakota.

00:39:20.140 And there's a reason for that.

00:39:21.360 It's just a lot safer to do business there.

00:39:24.740 Oh, this is so sad.

00:39:26.040 I mean, preach it.

00:39:26.860 You said it all right.

00:39:28.280 And people aren't going to forget that.

00:39:30.760 And how do you give your kids a good future?

00:39:33.020 I don't know.

00:39:33.860 By succeeding, making your province wealthy.

00:39:37.460 And it's ethical oil.

00:39:39.120 It's not trash oil.

00:39:41.200 It's something that we should be proud of as Canadians and, of course, Albertans.

00:39:45.780 And it shouldn't be attacked.

00:39:48.020 TC changing their name, I assume, also has to do with the attacks that some of them did experience from extremists and things like that.

00:39:57.140 So it is good to see Premier Daniel Smith saying, enough is enough.

00:40:01.760 We're not playing these games with you.

00:40:04.060 Common sense.

00:40:05.100 It all comes down to common sense.

00:40:06.700 I think that's what's going to win in quite a few elections.

00:40:10.360 Whoever is just literally making sense because everything Trudeau just said there makes absolutely no sense.

00:40:16.180 I can give you the numbers, actually.

00:40:19.400 BOE Report, which is a great oil patch centric website.

00:40:25.600 They broke it all down.

00:40:27.100 After the NDP took power here in Alberta, over the next four years, investment fell year after year.

00:40:34.040 Compared to 2015, when $75 billion was invested in Alberta in 2016, 17, and 18, they only saw $60 billion in capital spending.

00:40:44.740 If spending had held from 2015, Alberta would have had an additional $45 billion in capital just kicking around the province.

00:40:52.600 And that's because the Alberta government fought against pipelines and they were supported by the feds.

00:40:57.640 And how many jobs were lost?

00:41:04.340 Like tons.

00:41:04.800 Oh, it was, I think, approaching 100,000 at one point.

00:41:09.420 And so the NDP, to obscure that, they went on a massive government hiring spree.

00:41:14.800 I think they hired about 40,000 into the provincial government.

00:41:20.260 40,000, 50,000?

00:41:21.420 Anyways, there's a massive government hiring spree to try to obscure the real unemployment numbers.

00:41:30.080 Or gender inclusivity hires.

00:41:33.600 Yeah, well, exactly.

00:41:35.160 And even if you're not in the oil patch, even if you don't care about the oil patch, you couldn't care less.

00:41:41.620 All these attacks on the energy industry make your life more expensive.

00:41:45.920 It makes food more expensive at the grocery store because of inputs to farmers, transportation costs, refrigeration costs, everything.

00:41:53.580 Your home heating, the ability to drive your car, getting your kids back and forth from hockey and soccer and driving to work.

00:42:01.100 Everything you do and touch is more expensive.

00:42:06.220 And wear and eat is more expensive because of these attacks on our life-giving, life-saving energy industry.

00:42:14.320 Cap should hire me.

00:42:17.500 People are seen.

00:42:18.460 Yeah.

00:42:20.140 You should be.

00:42:21.040 No, we need you.

00:42:21.900 We need you.

00:42:24.240 Okay, let's move ahead because it's gotten so bad on the East Coast.

00:42:29.900 The Liberals are starting to break ranks with the Liberals on the carbon tax.

00:42:34.780 So we've got three New Brunswick MPs criticizing Justin Cheneau on the carbon tax.

00:42:41.700 Um, these are liberal MPs who are doing this.

00:42:48.120 Uh, they're criticizing their own government's carbon taxes, saying it disadvantages rural residents.

00:42:53.840 They're calling for sweeping changes, including the complete suspension of the tax on home heating oil.

00:42:59.460 Uh, this makes me very happy, but it's not just New Brunswick rural people.

00:43:05.180 It's rural people in some of the more spread out parts of the world.

00:43:09.700 Hello, that's me.

00:43:10.820 But it's also urban people.

00:43:13.100 Everybody needs to eat and get to work and heat their home.

00:43:16.280 This is a very cold place.

00:43:18.300 Um, and I'm, I'm really tired of people who never set foot off pavement telling us gravel dwellers how we have to live our lives.

00:43:25.840 And I'm not surprised to see, you know, liberal MPs doing this.

00:43:30.800 I'm, I don't envy being in that caucus, especially if you have some common sense and maybe have been biting your tongue for the last couple of years, especially whether it be the trucker convoy.

00:43:41.280 We saw a couple speak out on the divisive rhetoric that Trudeau was doing.

00:43:45.780 But more recently, I know that some MPs, uh, started speaking out in general, just, you know, without releasing their names.

00:43:53.040 Um, I forget which news outlet wrote that story, but I think there was about a dozen of them that are saying he's not listening to them.

00:43:59.680 Um, you know, he's going his own separate ways, things like that.

00:44:03.040 So it's not surprising to see, I couldn't open this article myself, but are the MPs actually named who are saying this?

00:44:09.460 Or, um, is it another one where they're saying it off record, but they want the public to know, we don't all agree with Trudeau.

00:44:18.560 I don't know if we know that answer.

00:44:20.520 Cause this one's locked for me.

00:44:22.940 But, uh, let's move ahead.

00:44:25.380 Yeah.

00:44:25.640 You know what?

00:44:26.180 I think in some parts of the country to get elected, you have to run as a liberal.

00:44:31.480 Um, and so you might be more, uh, a liberal in a blue tie than a conservative in a red tie, um, to get elected.

00:44:38.980 In some of these places.

00:44:39.920 So I, you know, I don't know what's in the hearts and minds of these men, but also good for them.

00:44:44.440 Good for them.

00:44:45.480 Let's move ahead because, um, Twitter's a punching bag or X or whatever we're calling it.

00:44:50.260 Mark Gerritsen, a liberal MP, uh, he has decided that he knows the math on the carbon tax.

00:44:57.260 Who says, don't believe the conservative hype that the carbon tax is driving higher gas prices at the pump.

00:45:03.280 In fact, the last year, the carbon tax increased the cost by two cents a liter while wholesale margins, i.e. big oil profits.

00:45:11.380 I guess they're supposed to just get the, get the oil out of the ground for free.

00:45:15.000 Yeah.

00:45:15.860 In this country, you're just not supposed to make money and reinvest it in other projects that pay your employees.

00:45:21.440 You're just not.

00:45:21.920 Uh, also, um, I'd love to know if these liberals have any sort of oil and gas holdings in their own portfolios.

00:45:30.200 Um, are you a shareholder in these companies?

00:45:32.580 Because those profits are yours, Mark, then you big, dumb idiot.

00:45:37.120 Um, but let's go back.

00:45:39.560 He, uh, and I, I say that, um, with complete, um, enthusiasm and certainty that he is one of the dumbest MPs in the house of commons.

00:45:49.360 All you have to do is follow his Twitter account.

00:45:51.700 And I know I might seem to be unkind, but I mean, this guy, this is what he does with his taxpayer salary.

00:45:57.740 Just get on the internet and lie.

00:46:00.640 So he says, big oil profits accounted for 18 cents per liter.

00:46:04.220 Well, when, you know, you would want to know what, uh, the federal carbon tax is per liter.

00:46:10.860 14.31 cents per liter.

00:46:14.680 Um, according to this is, um, government data.

00:46:18.580 Uh, the federal carbon tax is 14.31 cents per liter.

00:46:23.620 So almost as much as the oil companies who are investing to get this product out of the ground.

00:46:31.760 They are taking as much of a cut as the companies that are building these massive projects and employing thousands of Canadians and investing in our communities.

00:46:43.860 If you've ever been to an Alberta oil patch town, everything is sponsored by Suncourse and Crude, Synovus.

00:46:49.220 Like it's, it, the oil companies build everything.

00:46:52.580 Fort Saskatchewan is built by Shell.

00:46:55.000 It just is.

00:46:55.700 Um, but besides the federal carbon tax, then you've got the excise tax, which is a flat rate of 10 cents per liter that the federal government charges on gasoline and four cents per liter on diesel.

00:47:10.440 So, um, they are actually taking more in tax than the oil companies are taking in profit.

00:47:16.240 Yeah, it's, yeah, it's robbery.

00:47:20.160 And then again, this is during a time where families are struggling with the things that, you know, Dave and Evie mentioned earlier, the cost of living and things like that.

00:47:28.900 So it's criminal, in my opinion, to be charging something like that.

00:47:33.180 And it, where, where's the math on how that's even justified because it's not.

00:47:37.580 So, uh, but I guess you have MPs like him going on there and just saying the lie with a straight face so that somebody believes it.

00:47:45.140 It's like, oh, it's not their problem that I'm spending this much on gas.

00:47:49.660 Oh, British Columbia gas is just, it's out through the roof.

00:47:54.260 Although I heard it's going down this week.

00:47:55.960 So we'll see if that's true.

00:47:57.400 We don't have to own cars.

00:47:58.980 We can just, um, I don't know, do it.

00:48:01.320 Krista Freeland does.

00:48:02.080 Cause she doesn't own a car, right?

00:48:03.660 We just pay for a driver unless we feel like, unless we feel like, unless we feel like speeding, then we'll drive.

00:48:13.240 Right.

00:48:13.760 And then the cop is kind to her and gives her a ticket that doesn't get her charged with dangerous driving.

00:48:19.300 Yes.

00:48:19.780 I know.

00:48:21.040 Um, let's, let's hit an ad break so that we actually hit two of them.

00:48:25.920 And then we'll talk about made after the break.

00:48:27.800 So medical assistance and dying.

00:48:30.100 And then we've got a few chats and then, uh, we can't go long because.

00:48:33.660 It's manager's meeting day on Wednesday.

00:48:36.540 Canadians are grappling with news blackouts on social media due to the Justin Trudeau liberal government's bill C-18.

00:48:44.440 This new piece of legislation demands that social media platforms pay the government for news shared by users,

00:48:51.240 which is an inconceivable task for companies like Meta and Google.

00:48:56.060 So as a result, they have decided to preemptively block all Canadian news content, including ours at rebel news.

00:49:04.400 In response to this, we have since teamed up with VPN provider, private internet access to ensure that you can continue to access all of our content across a broad range of platforms.

00:50:06.820 Don't delay.

00:50:07.600 You don't want to be left behind.

00:50:13.640 All right.

00:50:14.680 Let's move ahead to one of the other reasons that Canada is terrible, and that is the treatment of the vulnerable in this country.

00:50:21.700 Oh, my goodness.

00:50:22.560 I know.

00:50:22.880 What a bleak, bleak segue.

00:50:25.540 But as people at home know, Canada has one of the more extreme euthanasia protocols in the entire world.

00:50:34.120 Um, you do not have to receive, uh, your euthanasia from an actual doctor.

00:50:42.860 Um, you can receive it from a healthcare practitioner, which can mean a pharmacist or a nurse.

00:50:49.220 Um, we are advancing efforts to give it to people who are mentally ill.

00:50:55.680 Um, in March, 2024, currently right now you can qualify for, um, medical assistance in dying as, uh, they like to call it to sterilize the euthanization of the vulnerable and the difficult.

00:51:10.700 Uh, you can receive it if you have a chronic, not just illness, chronic, uh, I don't know what the right word is, situation, uh, where you are not satisfied with the treatment that you are receiving to alleviate your suffering.

00:51:28.920 Um, and so you can be diabetic, you don't have to be fatal with anything, just have a chronic situation, diabetic, homeless, uh, MS.

00:51:44.260 Um, so there's a whole host of other, I don't even want to say illnesses because these are hardly, I mean, these, yes, they do cause suffering, but I don't know, maybe it's because I'm Catholic.

00:51:56.060 I think there's value in suffering, um, and dignity in all of God's children.

00:52:03.660 But in Canada, if you, in March, 20, 24, you can just, if you are having a suicidal episode, I don't even know why we have suicide hotlines in this country anymore.

00:52:19.160 Why are we trying to stop this?

00:52:21.240 Um, yeah, you know, like when you can just go.

00:52:26.640 And, uh, talk to your pharmacist about ending your life.

00:52:30.400 And I think even for some illnesses, they were, they've removed the wait time.

00:52:35.900 You used to have to wait 14 or 10 days to see if you were in like the right frame of mind.

00:52:41.520 Um, and that is not the case in most circumstances anymore.

00:52:46.620 When Canada first adopted euthanasia, they said, oh, no, no, no, there will be safeguards that you, your death has to be nearly immediate.

00:52:59.400 Like in the very foreseeable future.

00:53:01.620 You can't just have a fatal diagnosis where you have like a chronic creeping disease that will lead to your death years down the road.

00:53:13.260 Now it's like, it had to, used to have to be in the foreseeable future, like soon.

00:53:20.520 Now it's none of that.

00:53:21.680 It doesn't even have to be fatal.

00:53:23.420 You can just end it all.

00:53:25.020 If you're not satisfied with the quality of your medical care in this country, which I don't think anybody's satisfied with their, the quality of their medical care in this country, because we have publicly funded healthcare, which means you have publicly rationed healthcare.

00:53:39.020 Um, and surgical delays forever.

00:53:42.520 It takes two years to get a knee surgery.

00:53:44.320 So maybe you just, maybe you want to end it all.

00:53:47.180 Just look at the Canadian government for help.

00:53:50.400 Anyway, the video we have to show after my big rant there is that we, um, members of the euthanasia prevention coalition, uh, they are explaining why Canada's radical euthanasia approach is morally corrupt.

00:54:04.180 Sorry to have cut you off there, Drea.

00:54:05.340 No.

00:54:09.020 In 2014, I lost my brother, um, and I have never been the same since.

00:54:15.600 I've gone through several traumas and stressors since then, culminating in a range of serious mental health symptoms in 2018.

00:54:26.600 That year, I was hospitalized five times, uh, one time for five weeks, including a stay at the acute psychiatric unit.

00:54:34.900 And it was one of the worst years of my life.

00:54:37.340 Um, when I was discharged, my father had to keep my medication in his room to keep me safe.

00:54:43.460 And at one point, I was so depressed, I didn't leave the bed or the couch for weeks on end, um, leading to my sister becoming so concerned that she called the ambulance.

00:54:54.320 Um, if, um, if MAID had been presented as an option to me at that time, as a solution to the emotional pain and distress I felt, um, I may not be here today.

00:55:08.360 It was a really rough time, and it's only the care of the psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, social workers, um, it's only through their care at the hospital that I was able to get better and move through that time in my life.

00:55:23.860 When I then started trying to recover, I found that I couldn't, you know, I, I think my first time trying to recover, I lasted 85 days before I relapsed.

00:55:33.380 And then every time it was shorter and shorter.

00:55:35.840 And I got to the point where I figured I'm not going to be able to recover this.

00:55:40.420 I will never get better.

00:55:41.560 I'll just have to live with this for forever.

00:55:44.240 And so facing down the prospect of, you know, the rest of my life being, uh, you know, one year after another of amorphous existential suffering, I figured that death was my only solution.

00:55:58.680 And so I first attempted suicide when I was 15 years old, and I attempted suicide seven times in the two years of particular acute pain, although the, the depression and the struggles with mental illness continued long after I, I, after that acute period, um, I, I never sought treatment.

00:56:17.620 And if you had offered me medical assistance in dying in that moment, I would have taken it because I really genuinely believed that death was the only solution to the suffering that I experienced.

00:56:28.680 Um, with bill C314, um, we would be reversing the decision to extend medical assistance in dying to people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness.

00:56:40.520 Um, we know that it's not, um, it's not a possibility to predict whether someone with mental illness will become better or worse.

00:56:50.160 Psychiatrists can't predict it.

00:56:52.240 Um, and oftentimes we put an emphasis on suicide prevention measures for people like me.

00:56:58.680 You know, talking to a friend, uh, asking them if they have a plan, uh, being there for people that we notice are acting differently.

00:57:07.320 All of these suicide prevention measures, I think are what we need to emphasize when it comes to, um, care for vulnerable people.

00:57:14.360 And as Canadians, we can't put our emphasis on preventing suicide while also presenting, um, made as an option for people with mental illness.

00:57:24.880 And so I, I would ask people to consider that, to hear the stories of those who experience mental illness, to speak to those in your community who experience mental illness, and to really think about what it means to be offering suicide assistance to those who need suicide prevention.

00:57:40.920 Thank you.

00:57:41.920 Thank you.

00:57:43.720 Yeah.

00:57:44.360 She nailed it at the end there. 0.86

00:57:46.240 I mean, this is just so evil and wrong as a mental health professional.

00:57:49.780 It makes me really sick to my stomach.

00:57:51.560 There are so many times where people struggle with thoughts of suicide for a variety of different reasons.

00:57:57.780 And the lady who said it's a team of people that come together that should be talking about helping you get through it, not ending your life.

00:58:05.800 And there's so many people, I mean, sometimes it's as simple as getting off of your meds, where you start to start to have these feelings again.

00:58:13.060 And most people are just simply not in their right state of mind.

00:58:16.880 How on earth are we leaving that up to them to end their life?

00:58:21.800 Something so extreme, so drastic.

00:58:24.640 Again, I just feel nauseous that, uh, this is the country I live in, that they, they do not value the sanctity of life whatsoever.

00:58:32.920 And then on the other hand, they, the same people are defending child mutilation as some sort of form as, uh, preventing transgender kids from suicide.

00:58:42.960 So you don't, you can't even buy that narrative if they're okay with something like this.

00:58:48.080 That was exactly, exactly the point that I was going to make.

00:58:51.980 Out of one corner of their mouth, they're saying we must do these things, um, because we have to prevent a suicide of transgender children.

00:58:59.920 And I agree, we must prevent that suicide.

00:59:02.960 I just have a different viewpoint on how we can do that while simultaneously offering medical assisted suicide to the mentally ill.

00:59:11.160 Uh, it, it's horrific.

00:59:13.360 It's horrific.

00:59:14.240 Eugenics. 0.69

00:59:15.140 It is.

00:59:16.040 Eugenics. 0.69

00:59:17.100 And then, you know, the harvesting the organs of these people, you know, and seeing them as just the raw materials.

00:59:23.920 Uh, it just, it's gross.

00:59:26.800 It's gross.

00:59:27.400 Um, we've got, uh, this also, uh, a video from Amanda Actman.

00:59:32.960 Um, she's a pro-life advocate.

00:59:36.920 Um, just a phenomenal, smart woman. 0.99

00:59:41.920 And she's got a video, uh, from a woman named Christine.

00:59:46.220 She's, uh, in her 80s.

00:59:49.280 And she got a tattoo that says, don't euthanize me.

00:59:52.220 I think it's to prevent someone from making the decision on her behalf.

00:59:56.840 Uh, let's, uh, show this.

00:59:58.540 It's, uh, look at this cute little lady. 1.00

01:00:00.820 She looks like a grandma.

01:00:02.020 Yeah, she's so cute. 1.00

01:00:02.880 With a tattoo.

01:00:05.740 I was born in 1935.

01:00:08.980 When the war broke out, we were in London.

01:00:10.920 I would have been five years old at the time.

01:00:15.140 I came to Canada from England in 1957.

01:00:19.840 Came to teach at a little country school in Saskatchewan.

01:00:23.480 And I married a local farmer.

01:00:26.140 He was a good cat.

01:00:27.240 And he was quite willing, as I was, once I discovered after a few years that I couldn't have children, possibly.

01:00:33.900 He was willing to go along with adopting the children.

01:00:37.280 I got seven of them.

01:00:39.400 Oh.

01:00:39.580 It was just lovely.

01:00:43.560 I was married to him for 36 years.

01:00:46.220 He used to sometimes say some peculiar things.

01:00:48.720 First of all, they thought he was bipolar.

01:00:51.200 And then, uh, they threw him on some medicine, but it didn't really work.

01:00:54.700 She was paranoid schizophrenia, which she was.

01:00:58.260 So then, what happened, Christine?

01:01:00.040 What did you do about this?

01:01:01.380 The last 10 years, well, as I back on it as a reign of terror, I've escaped, especially for most of the time.

01:01:07.980 Everything was piling in on me, and I couldn't see any way out of it.

01:01:12.280 And I just reached the end of my tether.

01:01:14.700 And then I decided I was going to take, I had some pills that the doctor had given me.

01:01:20.340 I was very much on edge, and I just decided, I'm going to swallow these.

01:01:26.600 I'm going to get to sleep.

01:01:28.060 And that's the end of it.

01:01:28.840 It was so wrong.

01:01:33.560 I hadn't really thought about it one way or the other until after I did it.

01:01:37.500 Because then, right after I'd swallowed everything, then I was concerned about the kids.

01:01:43.340 And began to realise how wrong it was.

01:01:47.320 And so I got, well, the kids that I adopted were just so precious and so important.

01:01:59.580 They were the happiest days of my life when I'm with them.

01:02:04.540 How do you know for sure that you never want euthanasia?

01:02:10.560 Euthanasia is suicide.

01:02:16.960 There's no other word for whether you get a doctor to help you or not.

01:02:20.020 It's putting an end to your own life.

01:02:22.080 It just made me shudder.

01:02:24.200 People don't realise how short life is and how precious it is.

01:02:29.300 We've lost our respect for life.

01:02:31.940 We've lost respect for our own life.

01:02:34.100 That's a gift from God.

01:02:35.760 Tell me about the story of the tattoo.

01:02:38.800 During the war, they printed these cards, and you're supposed to carry them in your wallet.

01:02:44.640 And it said, I am a Catholic.

01:02:47.720 In case of accident, please call a priest.

01:02:52.360 You know, later on, when I was over here, I was so disgusted with the thought of euthanasia.

01:02:58.240 And I wanted to make a statement.

01:03:00.400 But I didn't want to do like they did in the war, put a card in my wallet, because you lose your purse. 0.50

01:03:06.220 So I decided I'd get a tattoo.

01:03:08.020 That would be with me forever.

01:03:11.440 When I went to the hospitals, the nurses would see it.

01:03:15.020 And, oh, come on, they caught another nurse in. 1.00

01:03:17.940 I'd say, oh, good for you, you know.

01:03:19.760 And doctors walking by would give me a thumbs up.

01:03:22.780 Because none of them wanted me involved in helping alive people to kill themselves.

01:03:28.180 It just went against the whole idea of being a doctor.

01:03:31.860 In light of how much you yourself have suffered, how can you see clearly the value of life?

01:03:41.060 Because I know I'm here for a reason.

01:03:45.320 Because God wanted me to be.

01:03:46.880 He wanted me to be born.

01:03:48.200 Be born into this family.

01:03:49.660 This life eventually raised his children.

01:03:53.160 Do whatever I can to follow his way.

01:03:56.900 And to be with him.

01:03:58.980 And the older I get, the closer I am to God.

01:04:04.500 Respect the life you have.

01:04:06.320 It's a gift from God.

01:04:10.440 My gosh, so much wisdom.

01:04:12.200 I'm going to tear up now on the way out of the life.

01:04:15.420 I know.

01:04:16.660 Get it together, Sheila.

01:04:18.700 But, yeah, that lady is so darn cute. 1.00

01:04:21.680 And you think about how much goodness in the world would have been lost if she had been successful when she tried to kill herself.

01:04:31.540 Like, she adopted seven kids.

01:04:35.380 Think about the kind of person who does that.

01:04:38.040 And then to struggle with a husband who is mentally ill.

01:04:42.260 Of course, she was crushed under the burden of that.

01:04:46.220 But now she's a grandma.

01:04:48.020 She's inspirational.

01:04:49.640 She's fighting for the health of other people. 1.00

01:04:56.060 Nobody you know that has ever attempted suicide is regretful that they failed.

01:05:04.600 Nobody.

01:05:05.980 Our friend Andrew Lott, he's been very open with his suicide attempt.

01:05:11.040 And he's written extensively about that.

01:05:14.600 But he's the person who sort of said that phrase.

01:05:21.040 And I thought, yeah, of course, of course.

01:05:23.560 Everybody you know who tried suicide and failed is so grateful for their failure in that one act.

01:05:32.180 Nobody regrets living.

01:05:34.000 Nobody does.

01:05:35.040 And that should be our takeaway here.

01:05:36.660 And, you know, if the Canadian government had their way in 2024, people like that lady would be able to euthanize themselves. 1.00

01:05:48.320 It's just a tragedy.

01:05:49.800 It's a tragedy.

01:05:50.340 Oh, well, we have some chats to end the show with a $10 donation.

01:05:58.540 Thank you very much.

01:05:59.400 From JCMN84 says, even pro-transgender study trumpeting infrequent detransitions shows youth.

01:06:09.460 8.1 years average starts with 317 patients, followed only five years after initial social transition, 7.3% re-transitioned.

01:06:21.920 Wow.

01:06:23.200 Yeah.

01:06:23.440 So only five years later.

01:06:26.040 I just did an interview with a man who detransitioned over, I think, 17 years later.

01:06:32.980 So, wow.

01:06:34.060 That's crazy.

01:06:36.560 We should touch on one thing that, to our great regret, we didn't cover as adequately as we could have.

01:06:45.880 However, we don't have the infinite resources of the Trudeau-colonized media.

01:06:50.060 Last night in Manitoba, the province flipped back to the NDP, Wob Canoe.

01:07:00.240 Just a guy I don't appreciate, Wob Canoe, whatsoever. 0.98

01:07:05.880 However, and we'll, I think I should probably do a more deep dive into who Wob Canoe is and what he's done in his past for Canadians who should be concerned that now he is the premier of one of the Prairie provinces.

01:07:23.320 But they swept into majority last night.

01:07:28.640 I think it was almost a complete, total wipeout in Winnipeg.

01:07:32.140 And I think a lot of it has to do with how terrible Brian Pallister was as a PC leader.

01:07:43.020 And then he also didn't give a lot of runway to his successor.

01:07:49.460 And so not a lot of ability to repair the damage that had been done between the government and the populace during lockdowns and arresting pastors and all those things.

01:08:00.160 And so, anyways, good luck to you, Manitoba.

01:08:06.360 As an Albertan, I empathize greatly with what you're about to go through.

01:08:11.220 And we'll try our best here at Revel News to hold your NDP government to account for all the horrible things I'm sure they're about to do to you.

01:08:21.040 Anyway.

01:08:22.920 On that sad note.

01:08:24.040 I'll just read another one.

01:08:27.040 A snowy roof donates $5.

01:08:30.520 NDP, speaking of the devil, are crying about job loss due to Danielle Smith's pause on the green energy.

01:08:39.300 The NDP may have forgot about their job exodus, but we haven't.

01:08:44.180 So that's exactly what you went into great detail about.

01:08:47.540 Absolutely correct there.

01:08:48.780 Yeah, and all those people putting up solar panels, if you would just get out of the way of the oil patch, which is currently experiencing a bit of a boom thanks to Danielle Smith, just go.

01:09:00.500 They're hiring right now.

01:09:02.520 Go over there.

01:09:03.840 If you just got laid off because you're putting up solar panels, government-subsidized solar panels, might I suggest you get a job moving drilling rigs or go be a lease hand on a drilling rig.

01:09:15.600 There's lots of money to be had there.

01:09:17.180 You don't need to have to do some cold, hard work, but it's good for you.

01:09:20.040 So I don't know.

01:09:21.740 I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who are losing their government-subsidized jobs when there's lots of other jobs to be had in this province.

01:09:28.120 Did we talk about, did we get Kevin Tennant's chat, five bucks?

01:09:35.860 Very few Alberta children in hospitals during the pandemic, but lots of panic.

01:09:41.720 Seriously ill children, some on dialysis due to poor food handling, hardly a peep.

01:09:46.620 Thoughts?

01:09:47.120 You know what?

01:09:47.460 That is so true.

01:09:48.260 So there was a very recent outbreak of food poisoning, which caused some children to be on dialysis and hospitalized.

01:09:57.480 It broke out because of contamination, I think, in a central kitchen that multiple daycares relied on.

01:10:03.780 So these are little tiny little people.

01:10:06.200 And kids ended up in the hospital.

01:10:08.120 More kids than were ever on the, you know, hospitalized because of COVID.

01:10:13.380 COVID, that's for sure.

01:10:15.040 And hardly a peep about it because it doesn't fit the narrative to lock down schools and mask children forever.

01:10:26.840 Let's keep going.

01:10:28.400 Wrong way 54, five bucks afternoon, ladies. 1.00

01:10:30.820 Do you know if there is any truth or just rumors about Trudeau being paid $25 per jabby jab from Big Pharma in the arm?

01:10:39.220 If so, he made around $300 million so far.

01:10:41.120 I have not seen that whatsoever.

01:10:43.380 No, I would guess that that's probably not based on a lot of facts.

01:10:47.580 But if you have any evidence to suggest otherwise, send that to us.

01:10:52.500 The money went the other way.

01:10:54.380 The money went from the Canadian government to Big Pharma.

01:10:59.520 That's how it went, based on all the vaccine contracts that I saw.

01:11:03.580 And they paid contracts for vaccines that nobody used and were expired.

01:11:08.360 And so the money was going that way.

01:11:10.620 And I know Tamara paid in kind by, by his ability to control us. 0.97

01:11:16.560 I think that's the real currency for him.

01:11:19.860 Okay.

01:11:20.400 All right.

01:11:21.520 Okay.

01:11:22.160 So sorry.

01:11:23.080 Yes.

01:11:23.360 You've got the ones that we missed or I missed.

01:11:25.420 So JCMN84 donates another $10.

01:11:29.200 Thank you.

01:11:29.700 Says at least once, ignoring the impressionability on children to transform attitudes or behaviors being taught and promoted denies common sense.

01:11:39.480 So, yeah, I mean, that's true.

01:11:44.000 That must have been what we were talking about earlier with ignoring that.

01:11:47.780 So, yeah.

01:11:49.100 And another $10.

01:11:50.620 Oh, my gosh.

01:11:51.280 Thank you.

01:11:51.820 You're paying for the lights to stay on today in this live stream.

01:11:54.840 Thank you so much.

01:11:56.000 Says, and this is a story I'd like to report on.

01:11:58.700 Says, Kelowna Hospice has no doctors.

01:12:01.480 Admit orphan patients.

01:12:03.240 Poor palliative care.

01:12:04.940 Made out of fear.

01:12:06.080 So, just, I don't know about this.

01:12:09.000 So, thank you so much for sharing it.

01:12:10.620 But it looks like the contract issues at the Central Okanagan Hospice resulted in a displacement of these patients.

01:12:17.720 And now they're going to an overcrowded hospital.

01:12:21.220 And they've been there since June 30th.

01:12:23.120 So, thanks for sending that because I wasn't aware.

01:12:26.120 I'll definitely look into that and report on that.

01:12:28.620 That's a real failing of our publicly funded healthcare system coupled with an aging population.

01:12:36.580 That we don't have adequate hospice and end-of-life care for Canadians.

01:12:41.780 Right.

01:12:42.260 To treat aging Canadians with the dignity that they deserve.

01:12:45.860 Instead, they become desperate and they decide that, you know, there's but one way to end their suffering.

01:12:55.800 And that is to end it all.

01:12:56.920 And it's just, it's terrible.

01:12:59.680 I hate to see it.

01:13:01.100 I hate it so much.

01:13:03.440 This culture of death that we have sweeping across the land.

01:13:08.580 Yeah.

01:13:08.960 Okay, guys.

01:13:11.180 On that, again, on that dark and gloomy note, that's the show for today.

01:13:16.380 Thank you, Drea, for being a little bit more prepared than I was.

01:13:19.640 Although, I think if you tuned in halfway through, you might not have been able to tell.

01:13:25.720 Thanks to everybody who tuned in at home.

01:13:27.640 Everybody who works behind the scenes at Rebel News to make sure the show is there for you to click on whenever you want to watch it.

01:13:33.360 Drea, thanks so much for being my co-host today.

01:13:36.960 Thanks to everybody who pitched in a few bucks.

01:13:39.280 Keep the lights on here at Rebel News.

01:13:40.680 We take no money from Justin Trudeau.

01:13:42.700 We rely on the support of you at home.

01:13:44.460 And so, we know that Justin Trudeau is leaving less money in your pocket than ever before.

01:13:48.660 So, we appreciate you choosing to spend your money with us.

01:13:52.260 And as David Menzies always says, although I don't think he takes his own advice, stay sane.

01:13:57.020 The Liberal NDP government increases the carbon tax on farmers who grow the food, on truckers who transport it, on manufacturers who process it, on retailers who sell it.

01:14:07.940 But, oh no, these higher taxes certainly don't impact the price of food when Canadians buy it.

01:14:13.100 They don't believe them.

01:14:14.500 They don't believe them when 7 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table.

01:14:18.160 They don't believe them when food bank usage in Alberta is up 70%.

01:14:21.960 They don't believe them when families can't put turkey on the table.

01:14:25.760 How many families are going to be relying on food banks for the Thanksgiving dinner because of this Prime Minister's inflationary carbon tax?

01:14:35.460 Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind my honourable colleague that the Poultry Association of Canada, the grain growers, the canola growers, have all committed to be net zero by 2050.

01:14:48.740 And interestingly enough, every time this member, which I respect, stands in the House to talk about the impacts of climate change, he never talks about the impacts on farmers.

01:14:59.360 The billions of dollars that droughts, flooding, pests are costing our farmers all across the country, Mr. Speaker.

01:15:08.460 From coast to coast, all across the country, that we never hear about that.

01:15:12.800 They have no solution to help our farmers fight climate change and help them with affordability, Mr. Speaker.

01:15:18.740 Thank you.

01:15:19.740 Thank you.
