00:01:14.420 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,

00:01:32.840 in which we look back at some of your very favorite commentaries

00:01:35.800 from some of your very favorite Rebels from this past week.

00:01:40.000 I'm your guest host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, because I'm not sure if you can tell, but I'm not David Menzies.

00:01:46.660 However, I am entrusted with his show as he continues to take a little bit of a well-deserved break

00:01:52.480 after working flat out for quite literally at least the last six years.

00:01:56.520 And let me tell you, I miss David just as much as the rest of you,

00:01:59.600 and I cannot wait to turn the show back over to him.

00:02:03.140 Not only are our Rebel journalists covering the Convoy for Freedom to Ottawa from the ground,

00:02:09.600 from the road, the way our Mocha Bezergin is, he's fully embedded in the convoy,

00:02:14.620 but we even had journalists take to the sky.

00:02:17.520 We were donated three spots on a helicopter very early in the morning

00:02:21.220 when the Convoy for Freedom was leaving Calgary.

00:02:24.080 My colleague Adam Sos joins me to tell me about that once-in-a-lifetime experience.

00:02:28.660 Then, what happens in a Board of Health meeting when the bureaucrats lose control of the narrative completely?

00:02:35.160 Delete, delete, censorship, repeat.

00:02:37.780 That's exactly what happened when a father of a vaccine-injured boy, actually, the young man is deceased.

00:02:43.760 Well, somehow, this father was allowed to tell his story.

00:02:46.480 He made it past the in-person censors, I guess.

00:02:49.460 But then the recorded version of the public meeting?

00:02:51.780 It suddenly disappeared, and then it was reposted without the father's harrowing story of loss.

00:02:56.600 Yes, rebel reporter Tamera Ugolini joins me with that Orwellian tale.

00:03:01.760 Then letters, letters, letters, we get your letters, questions, and comments all day, every day.

00:03:07.100 And it never stops, because unlike the mainstream media, we actually take your feedback,

00:03:11.580 and we'll read some of it at the end of the show.

00:03:14.380 Now, I should warn you in advance.

00:03:17.040 This show was recorded over the course of close to a week,

00:03:20.300 because we have so many journalists out in the field covering the convoy and other stories

00:03:25.520 that it was pretty hard for me to pin them all down on one day.

00:03:28.760 So, my hair is going to change, my clothes are going to change,

00:03:32.100 and I think at one point I may have even forgotten to change the backdrop.

00:03:36.820 So, bear with me, friends.

00:03:38.940 Those are your rebels. Let's round them up. 0.57

00:03:41.020 The truck convoy to Ottawa is making its way across Canada.

00:03:52.440 It has been through one and a half provinces and continues to grow.

00:03:56.120 Many media outlets have maligned the cause of this movement,

00:03:59.840 but ultimately they're standing up for Canadian values and Canadian principles,

00:04:04.040 and standing against vaccine mandates.

00:04:05.940 We wanted to bring you a unique perspective as this convoy makes its way through Calgary.

00:04:11.000 So, we're going to be taking to the skies to do just that.

00:04:18.620 McProbiterly, you're identified, and you're going to pick up Stoney and go east. Is that right?

00:04:23.500 That's correct. We're just following in that convoy there,

00:04:25.780 so we'll see where they're originating and follow them up.

00:04:28.940 Okay, that's all approved. Just state 4,800 or below.

00:04:32.000 4,800 below, McProbiterly.

00:04:33.260 It's been very interesting to hear about the significant delays on the way in front of British Columbia.

00:04:39.620 Questions remaining as to whether the delays at weight scales were simply a matter of procedure and volume,

00:04:46.160 or if there were broader questions of political influence delaying at the scales.

00:04:49.680 That remains to be seen. Simply speculation at this point.

00:04:52.640 We can see a few flashing police lights down below at the protest,

00:04:56.460 but again, that is very common for these types of convoy,

00:04:59.460 whether they'd be escorting them or simply maintaining the peace of not-too-large a police presence, certainly, however.

00:05:05.400 As the city begins to awaken,

00:05:25.800 we are seeing cars on this early Monday morning take to the streets,

00:05:29.760 many of them likely having breakfast, planning to go to the grocery stores today,

00:05:33.740 doing all of these normal things seemingly unaware of the absolute dependence they have on these truckers

00:05:39.860 and the work they're doing.

00:05:41.500 Truckers standing up not only for themselves and their homework,

00:05:44.320 but for all against vaccine mandates.

00:05:46.540 Now, the truck convoy to Ottawa is something to behold firsthand.

00:05:54.240 I saw it in Edmonton, but it looked like sparkling Christmas lights from the sky.

00:06:01.940 And how do I know that?

00:06:02.740 Well, my friend Adam Sos in Calgary and some members of the Calgary Rebel team

00:06:07.700 took a helicopter up on Monday to get some proper visuals of the enormous convoy

00:06:17.980 as it left Calgary to head east all the way to Ottawa.

00:06:21.940 Joining me now is my friend Adam Sos with all the details.

00:06:25.880 Adam, how on earth did you end up in a helicopter?

00:06:29.960 Well, we graciously had, I have you to thank to some extent,

00:06:34.080 a friend of Rebel reach out for those out there saying,

00:06:37.080 how much are you spending on a helicopter?

00:06:38.420 Well, luckily, we don't take our donations and spend it on stuff like that,

00:06:42.260 but sometimes gracious supporters who have a helicopter are willing to help out.

00:06:46.860 So Matt Hasson reached out and he offered us, he said,

00:06:50.620 you know, I'm going to be flying over.

00:06:52.300 I've got a couple seats.

00:06:53.640 Do you got a couple of Rebels who want to tag along?

00:06:56.720 And we said, yes, of course.

00:06:59.460 So it was incredible.

00:07:00.700 We were up, I think, at 4.30 a.m. to be out of the city.

00:07:05.540 It was dark for hours.

00:07:07.480 Even before the helicopter took off, it was still pitch black.

00:07:10.720 We could barely see anything.

00:07:12.340 But we took off and we headed over to the location,

00:07:16.200 the Flying J, which is in South Calgary, a truck stop

00:07:19.200 and kind of travel center and flew overhead.

00:07:24.200 And it was wild to see.

00:07:26.560 It was just trucks and trucks parked.

00:07:28.560 But then beyond that, there was vehicles, cars, like pickup trucks beyond the semis

00:07:33.660 just parked all over along the side of the road.

00:07:36.540 It was really hard to even gauge how big it was because it seemed like there was cars

00:07:40.560 just layered for quite some distance.

00:07:43.780 Mocha was on the ground as well.

00:07:45.760 Sid was out late on Sunday night.

00:07:49.000 There was part of our original plan was sort of to fly over the convoy for a decent stretch.

00:07:53.620 But as we know and as they're sort of theorizing, they're opening every waste scale along the entire trip

00:08:02.380 and checking these trucks, even if they don't have loads and it's obviously senseless,

00:08:06.420 and checking their logs to delay things.

00:08:08.880 So vehicles were actually still arriving at 7 a.m.

00:08:11.900 when they were intended to arrive last night and then depart at 7 a.m.

00:08:15.280 So the convoy was still very much gathering at the stop.

00:08:20.540 But with it being so dark out, all the trucks were flashing, all their lights.

00:08:25.220 It looked almost like a big Vegas music festival or something from the skies.

00:08:29.640 To see it was pretty incredible.

00:08:31.020 Just the scale of this and the coverage, it's incredible to see so many people coming together.

00:08:39.280 As we've talked about it on the show, we've talked about it.

00:08:42.280 There's been sort of fragmented, like you talked about Restaurant Rebellion here

00:08:46.120 and pastors standing in solidarity there.

00:08:48.920 But we're seeing all these people come together.

00:08:52.500 Pastor Arthur, Jesse Johnson, Without Papers Pizza, all these faces.

00:08:56.400 Chris Scott from the Whistle Stop Cafe.

00:08:58.500 They're all part of this.

00:08:59.840 All these truckers are coming together.

00:09:02.280 It's the first really national movement where people are standing in unison.

00:09:07.460 And there's nowhere better to see it from than up above

00:09:09.780 to really get that eagle's eye perspective on the scale of this thing.

00:09:14.420 Yeah, it's, you know, it's about truckers,

00:09:18.360 or at least that's how it first started with the cross-border vaccine mandates.

00:09:22.400 And that goes both ways.

00:09:23.600 So it's going to hurt Canadian consumers both ways,

00:09:26.280 both American truckers coming in and Canadian truckers taking our goods out

00:09:29.840 and bringing goods back in.

00:09:32.000 But it's really not even about that anymore.

00:09:34.340 It's all the support against the mandates, against the lockdown, against the coercion.

00:09:41.040 It's all coalescing around the truckers at this point.

00:09:46.800 I know when I was out covering the truckers when they rolled into Edmonton before they headed to Calgary,

00:09:52.260 there were signs saying, open up your church without restriction and let us go to the gym,

00:09:59.560 let us play hockey.

00:10:00.840 It's, it's everything.

00:10:02.560 It's anti the last 22 months.

00:10:06.880 Everything that has been done to society in the last 22 months.

00:10:09.820 I think that's what this is all about.

00:10:12.980 Yeah.

00:10:13.240 And I think I would agree.

00:10:14.580 And I think one thing that speaks to your point that is a fundamental contradiction

00:10:18.920 is other groups who have rallied have often said,

00:10:23.960 while very righteously in fighting for valid causes,

00:10:26.540 well, my concern is just sort of like, let's say, healthcare workers,

00:10:32.320 and we want to make sure healthcare workers are safe and can continue to work.

00:10:35.860 And we don't want to get bogged down in the broader conversation.

00:10:38.920 We just want to focus on our issue, which is fine.

00:10:41.500 That's very important.

00:10:42.460 Or sports, recreation, we want to ensure the youth can play.

00:10:46.240 We don't want to get into the vaccine mandate conversation broader.

00:10:49.380 All we want to talk about is like getting these kids back to play.

00:10:52.380 Very important, no doubt.

00:10:53.860 And I understand from a legal perspective, narrowing and focusing on that.

00:10:57.460 But this instance is unique because it is one of those small groups.

00:11:02.820 And the start of this story was one of these.

00:11:05.720 It's just about truckers.

00:11:07.320 And maybe we should just be talking about they spend most of their time alone.

00:11:11.060 They're isolated.

00:11:12.280 It isn't very logical for them to be subjected to these standards.

00:11:16.600 And then these folks, like you said, these blue collar folks say, you know what?

00:11:21.160 No, it isn't just about us.

00:11:22.880 But vaccine mandates are wrong fundamentally.

00:11:26.520 Come after us.

00:11:27.300 Take our jobs.

00:11:28.160 Do what you can.

00:11:28.900 We're tough.

00:11:30.240 We're truckers.

00:11:31.120 We can take it.

00:11:32.280 And we're not just standing up for ourselves.

00:11:34.440 We're saying vaccine mandates are wrong.

00:11:36.200 And we're rolling on Ottawa until this stops.

00:11:38.800 They took it in the other direction.

00:11:40.260 And they thrust themselves into that broader conversation, into that mucky area that politicians and political pundits and news commentators steer clear of.

00:11:50.840 They said, no, we're going to go there.

00:11:53.100 They can handle rough roads, ice roads, get through all that stuff.

00:11:56.380 They're willing to navigate this rough terrain because they know it's the right thing to do.

00:12:00.760 And it is so refreshing and so encouraging that it is while academics have failed and politicians have failed.

00:12:07.240 And all these hoity-toity intellectuals have failed to adhere to the truth and to follow the evidence and to trust the science, despite what Justin Trudeau says.

00:12:17.840 Those people have failed that.

00:12:19.900 These truckers have been saying the narrative that is now being adopted by everyone this entire time.

00:12:25.600 And they're saying enough is enough.

00:12:27.340 These are the facts.

00:12:28.380 We're getting in our trucks and we're going to go make a difference.

00:12:31.520 You know, I want to go back to something you mentioned right off the beginning.

00:12:34.720 And that's that the DOT, the Department of Transportation and the Ministry of Transportation, they're opening their way scales at bizarre hours, checking logbooks, checking trucks, doing safety checks.

00:12:45.220 And normally that's just, you know, something that's built into trucking.

00:12:49.880 But it's at bizarre hours.

00:12:52.240 These guys are not carrying loads.

00:12:53.880 They're, you know, going through these trucks with a fine-tooth comb.

00:12:58.240 And I have a conspiracy theory about this.

00:13:00.720 And tell me if I'm in the right direction.

00:13:04.300 But I think that they are breaking the convoy up so that people really can't get a sense of how big it is.

00:13:13.480 I think governments are using the way scales and the safety checks and the Department of Transportation to sort of, to make it so that it's very difficult to get a good and accurate picture of just how many trucks and truckers and their supporters are on the road at any given time.

00:13:34.260 Because now, because of these delays caused by the way scales, it can take hours and hours and hours and even overnight for all the trucks to get into one spot.

00:13:42.720 And by the tail, by the time the tail end gets there, the front end is already leaving.

00:13:46.760 So, you know, for, I guess, the news media, it looks like there are not as many trucks as we know there are because we have Mocha Bezergin embedded in the convoy.

00:13:57.680 Yeah. And I think, I think to an extent, that may be a factor.

00:14:02.580 I think you might be smarter than them, though.

00:14:04.700 I don't know if they're necessarily calculating it from an optics perspective.

00:14:10.400 I think their intention, at this point, this is all allegations.

00:14:13.720 It's responsible journalists.

00:14:15.080 We are going to request this information.

00:14:17.300 They're going to try and keep it from us.

00:14:18.700 We're going to have to take them to court.

00:14:19.880 We'll get it.

00:14:20.640 It'll blow the whole thing open and it'll be a misappropriation of power.

00:14:24.000 That's probably what's going to happen.

00:14:25.180 But at this point, simply alleged.

00:14:26.480 But I think their ultimate intention is to disenfranchise, to discourage people, to make the already arduous trek across the nation that much more difficult.

00:14:38.660 I think that they're completely, completely underestimating the resilience, the persistence and the tenacity of these truckers.

00:14:49.220 When, when you're doing something like this, and it seems by all measures that the government is going out of their way to make it more difficult, that's a pat on the back for truckers.

00:15:01.400 You're just telling them, wow, you are so effective.

00:15:05.460 We need to implement the Department of Transportation to try and impede your efforts because you're so powerful.

00:15:11.860 You don't react like that if you're not scared.

00:15:15.060 And I don't believe for a second these people are scared for their safety.

00:15:17.580 I don't think anyone in Ottawa believes this is a terrorist organization.

00:15:21.500 MOCA's talking to these people.

00:15:22.800 They're the most lovely people.

00:15:24.320 We were on the side of the road.

00:15:25.380 They're all waving, cheering, shouting for Rebel News, very wonderful people, lovely people, people you'd love to sit down and have a beer with, have a conversation with.

00:15:35.740 What they're afraid of is that this is finally the unifying symbol that's uniting Canada.

00:15:41.380 So they're launching all these countermeasures to try and undermine it.

00:15:45.300 But like a broken bone that heals and is stronger than ever before, these minor truck stops and impediments, one will provide ample fodder for us to report on for years.

00:15:55.380 And further, just prove how bad and how corrupt this government is.

00:15:59.740 But two, it's proving that this is effective.

00:16:02.680 We are seeing mainstream media outlets bring people from the convoy on and talk about it.

00:16:08.100 And don't get me wrong, there's still the odd article out there maligning them.

00:16:12.220 They're still trying to make them look like extremists.

00:16:15.060 The media is going to media as they do.

00:16:17.320 But I think there are reporters within the agencies now, within some of these agencies, who are like, man, I really need to do some journalism.

00:16:25.820 I have an ethical responsibility.

00:16:27.860 And I think that this is one of the pivotal shifting moments.

00:16:31.640 And I don't think it could have been, there's a sort of providence to it.

00:16:34.340 It couldn't have been more beneficially timed because this was planned.

00:16:38.520 And right as it's coming to fruition, the world is starting to open up.

00:16:42.560 If this does not bring enough pressure for this government to realize that they are absolutely on the wrong path, they never will.

00:16:50.480 This government is absolutely ideologically entrenched.

00:16:53.440 And we no longer have freedom.

00:16:54.980 And this government has gone that extra step where they are effectively an ideological regime.

00:17:00.600 This is the pushback.

00:17:01.700 This is the moment where people are standing.

00:17:04.180 And it's incredible to see these polls taking place where the vast majority support them.

00:17:09.680 And aside from the loudmouths on Twitter who disproportionately exercise their influence, I think most Canadians are saying enough is enough.

00:17:16.720 When I talk to people, I'll even talk to people online or maybe in forums where they don't even know who I am.

00:17:21.960 And the responses are near universal.

00:17:23.880 I don't talk to people who condemn them.

00:17:26.240 At the very least, people may be like, well, I'm not really following it too closely, but good for them for standing up for themselves.

00:17:31.700 Most people are like, I support them.

00:17:33.980 They're doing the right thing.

00:17:34.980 And this is about time that Canada had a movement like this standing in solidarity.

00:17:39.060 You know, I think you're right.

00:17:40.220 I think this is the right moment in the right time.

00:17:43.380 I don't think that this could have happened as effectively sooner.

00:17:48.760 I think this is the breaking point and good for the truckers, good for their supporters and good for them in the face of the lies and libel and maligning that's going to come their way.

00:18:00.560 And that has already started to come their way.

00:18:02.700 It's reaching a fever pitch.

00:18:04.940 Adam, thanks so much for your coverage of this very important story.

00:18:08.300 I can't wait to see what happens when they get to Ottawa.

00:18:11.920 It's going to be incredible.

00:18:13.060 Thanks for having me.

00:18:13.700 I really appreciate it.

00:18:14.900 Thanks.

00:18:15.220 Thanks.

00:18:16.040 Thanks.

00:18:17.220 Thanks.

00:18:18.220 Thanks.

00:18:18.760 I'm Tamera Ugolini pointing out some fishy actions by the Toronto Board of Health a mere day and a half after the interview that I conducted with unofficial COVID data analyst Kelly Brown.

00:18:33.820 We at the time discussed the presentation that he delivered to the Toronto Board of Health on January the 17th.

00:18:41.360 And then we linked back to the fully public live streamed video.

00:18:46.000 And on Friday, January 21st, I tried to go back to that publicly available live stream source to get some additional content.

00:18:55.420 But when I tried to do that, I was shocked to find that the board had privatized the video.

00:19:01.820 In usual times, which obviously these are not, you would be able to find the full live streamed and public video on the City of Toronto Council and Committee's meetings, agenda, and minutes website.

00:19:18.060 But the video was privatized.

00:19:19.060 But the video was privatized.

00:19:21.000 And we'll show this screen grab that we got on screen now to prove it.

00:19:25.740 And it appears that sometime thereafter, the video was magically republished under the Board of Health's video archive, but with at least one key speech missing.

00:19:38.400 It was the speech of Dan Hartman, who runs a Twitter page called Answers for Sean, where he claims that the 17, his 17-year-old son died a mere few weeks after his first Pfizer injection.

00:19:53.040 Look at the formal public record of his speech.

00:19:57.240 Dan, welcome.

00:19:58.580 You'll have five minutes.

00:20:00.100 Thank you for joining us.

00:20:00.880 And you can begin when you're ready.

00:20:03.180 Hello.

00:20:03.580 Good morning.

00:20:05.180 Good morning.

00:20:05.740 Thank you very much, Mr. Hartman.

00:20:08.860 Thank you.

00:20:09.320 I hope that you and your family are able to find some closure.

00:20:12.400 Thank you.

00:20:13.420 Thank you.

00:20:16.160 Thank you, Councillor.

00:20:17.540 His entire speech and the dialogue that ensued, it's gone.

00:20:22.480 Completely.

00:20:23.700 Councillor Wong Tam engaged with him a little bit and they had a conversation.

00:20:26.820 And so is the way in which Joe Cressy, he's the chair for the Board of Health, responded to Dan's heartbreaking allegation.

00:20:36.580 Cressy was heartless and cold, not even attempting to acknowledge the tearful account by Sean's dad.

00:20:42.980 He glossed over the horrific allegation entirely.

00:20:46.620 I know because I watched it live, but it's a clip that we can no longer view, thanks to whomever decided to scrub the speech from the public record.

00:20:57.960 Here is one clip that made it onto social media of Dan's speech.

00:21:04.300 It's not the complete clip.

00:21:06.220 And again, I know because I listened to it live, but it's better than the absolute nothing that we're left with from the Board of Health's public record.

00:21:14.560 Have a listen.

00:21:15.080 Have a listen.

00:21:45.080 I see use, but nobody ever talks about deaths and it is happening more than anyone knows.

00:21:51.920 And it's just being denied and silenced.

00:21:55.640 And I have a Twitter page called answers for Sean, which has 7,500 followers who are all wondering the same thing as me.

00:22:05.000 What happened to my son?

00:22:06.720 He had an autopsy done in Toronto that came back cause of death unascertained, which only 2% of the people.

00:22:15.080 Deaths have that conclusion.

00:22:17.980 The only thing they found was a slightly enlarged heart.

00:22:21.480 So I questioned the coroner.

00:22:22.880 Well, is that not caused from the vaccine causing myocarditis?

00:22:27.140 They're saying there was no myocarditis.

00:22:30.000 I sent his autopsy report to a second well-known pathologist in Canada who wants to remain anonymous for fear of losing his job.

00:22:39.200 He told me the vaccine did kill my son.

00:22:42.760 I don't know who I can believe anymore.

00:22:44.960 I have to go the rest of my life either thinking there's no cause of death or it was the vaccine.

00:22:52.120 I just don't think vaccines for kids to play sports is the right thing to do, considering Omicron is a lot less powerful than Delta.

00:23:04.520 My brother and his wife and three kids all have Omicron right now, and they're all perfectly fine.

00:23:09.360 They say it's not bad at all.

00:23:10.680 Even one of my nephews has no symptoms whatsoever but tested positive.

00:23:17.280 I just would like some answers to why my son is gone.

00:23:22.180 And if you want to take a look at my page, you'll see just how much of a special boy he was and what he meant to me.

00:23:28.460 And now I have to go through the rest of my life with this pain.

00:23:33.820 And I just want answers.

00:23:35.640 Politicians and public health bureaucrats are quickly losing their stranglehold on the COVID-19 narrative.

00:23:42.100 And sometimes that loss of control happens in real time in front of a live studio audience, for lack of a better term.

00:23:48.960 So what's a politician to do when this stuff happens?

00:23:51.720 Well, you just gaslight everybody, pretend they're hard of remembering, and pretend like it never happened.

00:23:56.660 You just wash it from the official record.

00:23:59.760 That's what happened in a meeting of the Toronto Board of Health.

00:24:03.420 Although the politicians and the public health bureaucrats tried to memory hole the testimony of a father with a now-deceased vaccine-injured child by cropping it from the public record,

00:24:12.860 rebel reporter Tamera Ugolini watched his testimony firsthand, and then she saw it disappear.

00:24:21.020 Tamera joins us now.

00:24:22.080 Tamera, I watched your story, and I thought, how many other times across the country has this happened that we didn't have a reporter sitting in on the meeting to notice?

00:24:35.120 That was exactly my thoughts.

00:24:37.280 And originally I had, I think I mentioned in the report, I had gone back to source that live-streamed fully public record of that original board hearing to pull some other content for a separate report.

00:24:50.200 And I was shocked when it said that it was privatized, and I was kind of going through my head and racking my brain and referencing some of my notes,

00:24:58.120 wondering what was the nail in the coffin for them that had them pull and privatize the content.

00:25:03.380 And it was funny because I actually hadn't even considered Dan Hartman's deputation at that time.

00:25:09.540 I didn't think that it was something that needed to be scrubbed.

00:25:13.700 And then lo and behold, a few hours later, when they republished the report, a few individuals who had also taken part in that hearing,

00:25:22.460 they were actually the first ones to point out that his deputation is entirely cut.

00:25:26.860 And then he and Councillor Wong Tam, who you see at the very end, thank him and give her basically her sympathies about the heartbreaking story that he recounted about his son's tragic death.

00:25:39.420 The dialogue that they had together was gone completely.

00:25:44.400 And so all that's left is basically, you know, going back into your memory bank and trying to remember what was said and the exact allegations.

00:25:54.840 This is crazy. And yes, absolutely.

00:25:58.180 It makes me wonder across the country, as you said, how many other times has this happened, either on the municipal, provincial or the federal level?

00:26:08.260 Yeah, that's the thing. These meetings are the public record.

00:26:12.520 They are the public record of what was said and what was done.

00:26:15.680 And they are recorded so that the public can hold their politicians to account.

00:26:22.620 And it's something that holds up the value of transparency that we have in the Western world.

00:26:29.560 In places like China and North Korea, Venezuela, that's where they decide what you can and can't say in a meeting.

00:26:38.800 And if you slip into the meeting and actually say something, then they do.

00:26:42.600 Well, sometimes they disappear you, but they definitely disappear your comments, too.

00:26:46.640 It's eerie to see it happening in Toronto, of all places.

00:26:52.100 And the gall with which these people do this.

00:26:55.800 There were thousands of people watching that meeting.

00:26:58.300 Thousands.

00:26:59.520 And they think that none of you are going to be aware of what they're doing.

00:27:03.800 I just it's so audacious.

00:27:05.600 You know, and I think that it works actually in the favor of sometimes the dissidents because it's it's right in your face.

00:27:14.340 Hey, why would they they have nothing to hide and they're being so forthcoming with all the information and giving people true informed consent?

00:27:22.540 Well, then why would they do something like that?

00:27:24.740 Why? What was the point of scrubbing that testimony from the public record if there's nothing to hide?

00:27:30.800 It just further shows that these these bureaucrats are making these closed door decisions. 0.99

00:27:36.640 They're not properly informing the public.

00:27:39.280 And I mean, point blank, they're hiding something and they're hiding the you know, in Dan's testimony that I, again, listen to live.

00:27:46.360 So he specifically asked them, why aren't you reporting any of the deaths?

00:27:52.640 And of course, no one had any answers and we still don't have any answers.

00:27:55.880 So it just lends to the fact that there is something to hide here and and who's the other thing is who's making this decision and why?

00:28:04.980 So that's part of why I filed that freedom of information request, because I wanted at the time I didn't know yet what what had been scrubbed.

00:28:12.360 So I wanted to find out what had been scrubbed and if we could gain access to the full live stream video once again.

00:28:18.520 But whose decision was it and why?

00:28:20.260 Because as we know, the Toronto Board of Health and Toronto Public Health and that is overseen by Dr.

00:28:25.660 Eileen Davila, she doesn't take questions or garner responses to Rebel News. 0.99

00:28:30.740 So I knew that it was a dead end, but worth reaching out anyway.

00:28:34.220 You know, that's a very interesting point.

00:28:36.720 Not only are these people secretive, they are doing the like it's very Orwellian what they're doing.

00:28:42.940 They're taking something that happened in reality and just disappearing it because it doesn't fit their narrative.

00:28:49.620 It is like going back and rewriting history from 1984.

00:28:54.480 But they also reject any form of accountability journalism.

00:28:59.360 There's a reason why they take questions from the CBC and they answer CBC's media inquiries and they don't answer yours is because you're trying to hold them to account for the dastardly deeds that they're doing.

00:29:12.360 It makes me wonder, you know, when you say or when, you know, the father of this vaccine injured child says, why aren't you reporting the deaths?

00:29:25.140 Who's to say that somebody has not reported these deaths and then they were just like his testimony disappeared from the public record altogether.

00:29:34.700 If they're doing this with testimony that happens in public in front of thousands of people, what are they doing with the numbers that come in on their email?

00:29:43.040 How are they playing fast and loose with those two?

00:29:44.980 Well, and I think and I'm not sure how the reporting works in Alberta, but I know that here in Ontario, for instance, the publicly available data, you're the definition of unvaccinated is if you're within the first two weeks of your vaccine.

00:30:00.840 And so those that's the textbook timeframe to actually have an adverse reaction, which could in this instance be death.

00:30:08.800 That wasn't the case here with this particular this particular boy who is 17, healthy, athletic, young male.

00:30:17.100 But if there's a textbook vaccine reaction, which could include death, then that person is marked as actually being unvaccinated because they're within that first two weeks post vaccination.

00:30:29.360 So the it's really fishy, all of these these little discrepancies that people don't realize, hinder or skew that those reports.

00:30:43.300 And I mean, I'm just here trying to make sense of it, piece this puzzle together.

00:30:46.760 But I think this is a pretty clear instance where people are, you know, who maybe were on the fence before or didn't realize what was maybe going on or saying, whoa, hold on a minute.

00:30:57.600 What is this about?

00:30:59.360 Yeah, and I know you have a tight timeline, so this will be my last question to you or my last comment, and then you can comment too.

00:31:06.520 You know, what an insult to this family that, you know, they're trying to warn other families or at least get answers for themselves.

00:31:16.540 They sort of want to make sure that their son just didn't die in vain, that maybe another family needs this information too.

00:31:23.860 And yet they are now being treated like they don't exist.

00:31:28.340 What a final insult to this already grieving family.

00:31:32.420 Well, and I haven't put it on the record yet, but the father, Dan Hartman, and I are in communications together.

00:31:39.260 And one thing, one part of his testimony that didn't make it into that very small social cut that was posted onto social media before they scrubbed the record was the fact that he's had, he has the coroner's report.

00:31:51.040 So he has the autopsy report, and then he had it interpreted by another pathologist who refuses to go on the record.

00:31:59.940 Of course, they fear, you know, they want to remain anonymous because the state of affairs in Canada, he doesn't want to risk employment or his reputation.

00:32:08.780 So he, off the record, interpreted this report to this dad, Dan Hartman.

00:32:15.180 And so we're trying to see if we can even get a third opinion for this dad and substantiate what those, the two differing opinions might have been.

00:32:24.520 And if there's maybe some, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

00:32:26.980 Because, yeah, at the end of the day, I mean, his Twitter page is answers for Sean.

00:32:31.760 He just wants to know so that he can continue to, to grieve and have some closure in this situation.

00:32:40.560 Tamara, I want to thank you so much for staying on this story.

00:32:43.520 It seems as though the mainstream media doesn't care about these sorts of families where, you know, they're just, like you say, trying to get answers.

00:32:51.100 They want to know what happened.

00:32:52.040 They don't want this to happen to another family.

00:32:53.880 And they want someone to listen to them.

00:32:55.940 And they're not even getting that out of our unaccountable public health bureaucrats.

00:33:01.840 Best of luck on that access to information request.

00:33:04.700 You know, I love access to information requests.

00:33:07.920 I'm sure it will be interesting when we get those communications back.

00:33:11.320 Tamara, have a great weekend.

00:33:13.280 Thanks, Sheila.

00:33:13.760 You as well.

00:33:14.160 Now, even more additional barriers have been placed on us, such as masks and social distancing.

00:33:28.580 I mean, these policies interfere and disregard people such as myself who rely heavily on ASL, which is 70% facial.

00:33:40.840 So before the pandemic, yeah, things were bad, but now it's magnified.

00:33:47.680 The definition of a barrier is anything that prevents a person with a disability from fully participating in all aspects of society.

00:33:58.760 So I guess you can imagine I'm not fully participating in society and neither are all my deaf friends.

00:34:05.000 The deaf and hard of hearing, well, their public communication has been hindered by the lack of facial cues, the inability to use touch and lip reading to communicate.

00:34:16.020 And then, of course, the use of plexiglass further muffles the sound even further.

00:34:21.180 I haven't had my hearing tested, but even I struggle to understand people who are speaking to me in a mask, especially when there is an additional barrier between us of plexiglass.

00:34:33.940 So I can just even imagine how hard it must be for someone who actually can't hear.

00:34:38.840 As I said off the top of the show, we allow your viewer feedback here, unlike the increasingly feedback-averse mainstream media who are just so happy to take your bailout bucks,

00:34:48.580 but they don't want to hear your opinion that might go along with your dollars.

00:34:52.360 But that's not the case here, so let's get to what you had to say.

00:34:55.460 Aunt Tamara's story about how the deaf community has been harmed by mask mandates.

00:35:00.200 Yeah, hypochondriacs and those fear-addicted anxiety junkies are the ones running the show now,

00:35:18.240 and they don't seem to care who they harm along the way as long as they get their fix.

00:35:23.100 Why did you come to support the truckers?

00:35:25.620 Because we have to do it for our children. We have to do it for the, just for our country, period.

00:35:31.440 For our children. So they're standing up for our children, so we'll stand up for them.

00:35:36.260 Because they're the only ones standing up for our freedom.

00:35:39.220 My father-in-law's a trucker, my stepfather's a trucker, and I appreciate all that they do.

00:35:44.400 We want our country back.

00:35:46.620 We want our country back.

00:35:47.820 On my story about the truckers being sent off by 2,000 well-wishers in Edmonton,

00:35:56.480 Erd B. Wohner on Rumble writes,

00:35:58.820 Even when a cart pusher of a supermarket refuses the jab, he or she has my support.

00:36:04.600 Nobody should be pressured or bribed into a jab.

00:36:08.120 That's why I think this is no longer about the truckers anymore, and it hasn't been for a long time.

00:36:13.140 People are coalescing around the truckers because they are the ones, coast to coast to coast,

00:36:18.700 who are standing up and uniting people for their cause.

00:36:21.460 They're giving a voice to those, vaccinated and unvaccinated alike, who oppose government coercion.

00:36:27.780 We received this story through an anonymous tip to the Rebel News tip line,

00:36:32.000 which anyone can email at tips at rebelnews.com.

00:36:36.240 The sender of the email outlines a new crash course taking place at Trent University,

00:36:42.200 which is based in Peterborough, Ontario, called literally just Black Lives Matter.

00:36:47.900 The creator of this content is Associate Professor Charmaine Eddy,

00:36:52.440 whose last documented salary from 2019 was just shy of $140,000 a year.

00:36:59.600 She has a pretty mediocre rating on Rate My Professor of 3.2 stars out of 5.

00:37:06.440 Looks like 0% of students would take her course again. 0.89

00:37:10.420 Her most recent review calls her awful and notes that in the course they took,

00:37:15.240 it was all about Black Lives Matter, or BLM, and had nothing to do with English literature.

00:37:21.060 And on to Mara's story about the white professor making $100,500 per year to teach a BLM course.

00:37:28.540 LaToran on Rumble writes,

00:37:32.040 Why spend $10,000 for a university course about white people hating white people if you've got free access to Twitter?

00:37:38.220 Yeah, that's so true.

00:37:39.320 It's hard to believe the Twitter app is free some days.

00:37:41.720 It's like a trip to the zoo sometimes with all the exotic weirdness that I would never encounter in my normal life,

00:37:48.280 which is full of normal, productive people doing normal, productive things, unlike Twitter.

00:37:54.240 Well, everybody, that's the show for this week.

00:37:56.580 Thank you for all your notes and messages of concern and kindness about David.

00:38:00.920 He'll be back very soon.

00:38:02.700 I cannot do his show forever.

00:38:04.640 Thanks to the team in Rebel HQ for putting this thing together once again.

00:38:08.280 Thanks to my pal David for putting his roundup baby in my hands for the last little bit.

00:38:14.300 Thanks all of you for tuning in.

00:38:15.940 And as David says, without risk, there can be no glory.

00:38:19.480 See you next time.
