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

00:01:32.940 wherein we look back at some of the very best commentaries from your favorite Rebels from this past week.

00:01:38.860 I'm your host, who is definitely, absolutely, unequivocably not David Menzies.

00:01:44.000 I'm Sheila Gunnery, and I'm filling in for my dear friend David,

00:01:46.680 as he takes some well-deserved time away from the show for the next couple of weeks.

00:01:51.880 Calgary's mayor declared a climate emergency and then hopped the first flight to Houston

00:01:56.480 to talk to oil executives about how to phase out oil.

00:01:59.140 There's a lot going on in that sentence, I realize.

00:02:02.240 And that's why I'm calling in an expert.

00:02:03.780 Rebel News Calgary reporter Adam Sos, who has been on the story of the climate emergency in Calgary

00:02:09.220 from the very beginning.

00:02:11.080 Then, what do you do when a human rights museum violates your human rights?

00:02:16.460 Well, first, naturally, you do a story on it.

00:02:18.720 But then you start asking questions, which is exactly what Calgary-based reporter Sidney Fizar did

00:02:23.740 when the Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg vax-carded him and then banned him.

00:02:28.840 You won't believe the response Sid got to his media inquiries.

00:02:32.220 Then letters, letters, letters.

00:02:34.080 Of course, we get your letters all day and all night.

00:02:36.300 So many letters.

00:02:38.180 I have your letters on my story about how the Public Health Agency of Canada

00:02:43.880 is looking for a contractor to spy on your cell phone data.

00:02:49.100 Those are your rebels.

00:02:50.760 Let's round them up.

00:02:51.600 Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek has long known that Canadian oil and energy are the most ethical

00:03:02.360 sources of energy in the world.

00:03:04.740 We have footage of her saying as much herself.

00:03:07.320 I support Canada's oil and gas sector.

00:03:10.320 Why?

00:03:11.180 Because Canada's oil and gas firms have repeatedly demonstrated leadership on a global stage,

00:03:16.900 whether through innovations in technology that minimize impact to the environment

00:03:21.160 or unmatched standards in health and safety practices.

00:03:25.260 That's not empty rhetoric.

00:03:26.940 It's rooted in research and review.

00:03:29.380 So what changed?

00:03:31.200 Has Jyoti suddenly had a coming to Greta moment?

00:03:34.820 How dare you?

00:03:36.020 Or is she just playing the exact same game as celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jane

00:03:40.940 Fonda?

00:03:41.880 If Jyoti Gondek really believed that there was a climate emergency, as she and city councillors

00:03:48.360 have decreed, you think she would be doing everything to reduce her carbon impact, wouldn't

00:03:54.020 she? 0.98

00:03:54.820 She certainly wouldn't fly off to the World Petroleum Congress in Texas to espouse new

00:04:00.240 oil technologies.

00:04:01.780 There's no way she'd do that.

00:04:02.680 Except she did.

00:04:03.780 She hopped on a jet, a fossil fuel power jet, and went down to Texas to meet with these

00:04:08.480 world leaders.

00:04:09.620 Now, she said that the conference was all about future technologies and carbon reduction.

00:04:14.580 But in case you don't know, those are buzzwords that these oil companies use because they

00:04:19.600 want to keep drilling, but they don't want to be in trouble with climate activists.

00:04:23.600 There's a lot of things to accomplish in Houston.

00:04:25.580 There are many conversations to have with mayors of other urban centers who have declared

00:04:31.100 climate emergencies.

00:04:31.960 There's a great opportunity to partner with the private sector and talk about their goals

00:04:36.880 on emissions reduction.

00:04:38.780 My favourite part about fighting climate change is all the long flights and, of course, the

00:04:44.400 luxury travel to unnecessary conferences, be it the World Economic Forum meetings or the

00:04:49.480 United Nations climate change conferences.

00:04:51.760 You know, there's really not a transcontinental flight that an environmentalist will turn down.

00:04:56.140 And Calgary's green brand new mayor is no exception to that rule.

00:04:59.860 After declaring a climate emergency, she has travelled to Texas to the World Petroleum Congress meetings.

00:05:08.060 Joining me now to discuss the hypocrisy of Gondek's apparent heresy against the climate cult is Rebel

00:05:14.660 News reporter Adam Sos.

00:05:16.520 Adam, has Gondek justified her trip to Houston or are we just supposed to pretend like it didn't

00:05:22.900 happen, like all the other environmentalists, transcontinental travel?

00:05:27.320 Yeah, the general justification that's always given and is being given in this case was that the focus of this

00:05:33.660 Petroleum Congress was low carbon technology and future technologies, which for you and I and anyone in the

00:05:40.820 industry knows that that's what oil companies say when they don't want to get in trouble with eco-activists,

00:05:45.160 but they want to keep drilling for oil and making their money.

00:05:47.540 No doubt there is an effort.

00:05:49.920 In fact, Canadian oil is among the sort of foremost in the leaders of reducing their imprint while still

00:05:55.260 extracting resources and creating wealth for the entire world.

00:05:58.740 But beyond that justification of these petty talking points, there's not much going on.

00:06:03.100 And I just want to be the first person to say I know people out there are going to say that it's the old

00:06:08.040 argument, climate hypocrisy.

00:06:10.180 Like I've said in videos, I'm more than well aware that a rich person can be concerned about poverty.

00:06:15.060 I'm more than well aware that someone can be very well fed and be concerned about world hunger.

00:06:21.340 But there's just a special level of hypocrisy here where what they're doing is on such a grand scale

00:06:26.860 contributing to the problem that they're professing in declaring climate emergencies.

00:06:30.920 In a video that will be coming out this week, we're seeing like Leonardo DiCaprio, who has all these

00:06:36.720 giant palaces and rents these mega yachts.

00:06:40.640 Jane Fonda doing helicopter rides over the oil sands.

00:06:43.560 What do they think all these things are fueled by?

00:06:46.540 We thank them for contributing to Canadian energy because, frankly, that's what's fueling

00:06:50.320 half of this stuff.

00:06:51.600 But the fact that they're doing those things while criticizing us.

00:06:55.260 Look at the private jets at the COP summit in Europe. 0.66

00:06:59.420 It's just endless hypocrisy.

00:07:01.720 One of the people that comes to mind, and it's usually when we're talking about COVID, but

00:07:04.940 is Joe Vipon, Dr. Joe Vipon.

00:07:07.500 He posted on Twitter when he went over that it was important that he be there in person.

00:07:11.480 Meanwhile, over COVID-19, they're telling us we don't really need to gather as a congregation

00:07:15.560 for church because it can be done via Zoom.

00:07:19.280 Meanwhile, they can fly over there because they religiously have to be there in person

00:07:23.780 for the sacrament of the environmental conferences.

00:07:27.200 Oh, what a great way to put it.

00:07:30.900 Yeah, their church is important.

00:07:32.180 So is mine.

00:07:32.740 And their church is, you know, the Climate Change Conference.

00:07:35.960 Yeah, it's very strange.

00:07:37.660 You know, I was talking actually to Michelle Sterling this morning, and she brought up

00:07:41.860 Joe Vipon and his hypocrisy.

00:07:44.060 But as you rightly point out, it really, I like traveling.

00:07:50.080 I like fossil fuel.

00:07:51.080 So I'm perfectly okay with that.

00:07:52.920 For these large environmentalists like, I guess, Jody Gondek and Justin Trudeau, they

00:07:59.640 are telling the rest of us to have a smaller environmental footprint, to travel less, to

00:08:05.100 drive smaller cars or electric cars.

00:08:07.300 Good luck getting those to work in this weather, by the way.

00:08:09.900 But they never lead by example.

00:08:12.740 This is easily a conference that could have been a Zoom call.

00:08:17.480 It probably could have been an email, if you ask me.

00:08:20.460 But she saw fit to make this her first international trip as the Calgary mayor.

00:08:28.420 And for me, when I read her reasons for being there, she says, you know, we're in pursuit

00:08:32.080 of net zero or whatever their unrealistic goal is.

00:08:35.460 For me, I look at this and I think, this is a scarecrow woman. 0.99

00:08:41.020 If you wanted to scare away oil patch investment, if you wanted to make sure that those downtown

00:08:48.440 office towers in Calgary remain empty, you would send Jody Gondek to Texas to say, we're

00:08:54.680 going net zero.

00:08:56.180 You know what?

00:08:57.020 Like, I actually, this is weird.

00:08:59.760 And this is going to be perhaps me being too gracious towards Jody Gondek.

00:09:04.280 Like, things have become so backwards that I think in sort of a twisted way, it's just

00:09:13.980 en vogue to say these things right now.

00:09:17.300 So having someone like GOT saying, like, there's a climate emergency and we need to kill fossil

00:09:23.920 fuels.

00:09:24.360 I think in some sick, twisted modern liberal world will lure in some oil companies because 1.00

00:09:31.340 they want to operate under that veneer of ultra progressive environmentalism.

00:09:36.280 Their behaviors aren't going to change, but it's very much en vogue to be part of that

00:09:40.960 eco movement.

00:09:42.400 We see these oil companies making all these commercials about how they're all for the

00:09:45.800 environment.

00:09:46.340 And like largely, I would say that compared to OPEC oil or some other energies, turbines

00:09:52.100 killing birds left, right and center, they are pretty ethical.

00:09:55.560 But there is almost this underlying facade of, there's like GOT's bumping elbows with

00:10:01.920 these people, this oil commerce saying, we're super ecological and super progressive.

00:10:06.740 So I think on some sort of weird, bizarro world level, she thinks she's filling the downtown 0.99

00:10:14.020 core with companies by talking on these talking points.

00:10:17.160 The problem is, is how have we come to a point in our world where the most ethical oil in

00:10:23.460 the world, oil that we should be, if we wanted to help the environment, Canada would be doubling

00:10:27.620 production and sending it everywhere else.

00:10:29.660 So places didn't have to use coal power from China and OPEC oil from the Middle East.

00:10:34.240 We would be exporting our ethical oil to the world.

00:10:37.060 And that would be the biggest contribution we could make to helping end climate catastrophes,

00:10:41.500 climate emergencies.

00:10:42.240 But instead, we've adopted this narrative pushed by Hollywood celebrities and Tides Foundation

00:10:49.100 and yada, yada, yada.

00:10:50.200 We've adopted this narrative that sand is bad.

00:10:54.000 So we need to do a bit of a mea culpa.

00:10:55.920 We need to tuck our tail between our legs and say, we're very sorry.

00:10:59.800 And we're really environmentalists.

00:11:02.000 We're very, very much environmentalists.

00:11:03.880 And then we're allowed to partake in the natural resources in our province here.

00:11:08.640 On some sort of sick level, I think that that's what's happening, because councillors have

00:11:13.240 said, well, there's not really an emergency, but it's very much to draw in businesses that

00:11:17.480 were employing these sort of rhetorical devices.

00:11:21.240 My question is, why is the system like that?

00:11:23.160 Why have we accepted it?

00:11:24.360 Because it's clearly not based in reality or science.

00:11:27.280 Yeah, you know, it is funny that there's all those Hollywood celebrities who will just

00:11:33.440 completely ignore Bakersfield to label Canadian oil and gas as bad.

00:11:41.120 But it is an interesting strategy that it seems as though G.O.D.

00:11:44.460 Gondek is, I don't know, taking on the, what's the right word?

00:11:50.760 I guess it's hoping that the chickens will vote for Colonel Sanders.

00:11:55.420 Is that, I think that's kind of her strategy there for filling back up the downtown core. 1.00

00:12:00.700 Now, that's the politicians talking and the fancy people talking.

00:12:04.180 But you actually did something that the mainstream media generally doesn't do.

00:12:07.680 And that's, you went out to the streets to talk to the normals of Calgary on this issue.

00:12:13.500 So what was the overall feel from the citizens of Calgary when, you know, when they were polled

00:12:20.840 unscientifically by you on this issue?

00:12:23.540 Well, generally, when we're talking to people, there was backlash.

00:12:28.260 And I mean, G.O.T.

00:12:29.020 Gondek is not popular in Calgary right now on numerous fronts, going after our industries

00:12:35.060 first and foremost.

00:12:35.860 But there's also the story where she's taken $100,000 out of city municipal funds in order

00:12:41.980 to fund a personal sort of vendetta lawsuit against Bill 21 in Quebec, which actually is

00:12:47.520 some good news.

00:12:48.080 And we'll talk about this soon is the fact that they've sort of rescinded that urgent

00:12:53.220 poll and it's actually going to be discussed.

00:12:55.180 So those funds, it's a bit of a win, the fact that we've called that and that's been

00:12:58.120 rescinded.

00:12:58.760 But G.O.T. is not popular in Calgary right now.

00:13:01.700 She's going after our industries. 1.00

00:13:03.140 She's taking funds for sort of personal vendettas. 1.00

00:13:06.360 And then first and foremost, probably the fact that she's talked about unvaccinated

00:13:11.420 Calgarians and saying that it's bonkers that they get to participate in society. 0.98

00:13:17.260 So so this this these games that she's playing to signal and nod her head to her crowd are

00:13:25.360 not garnering any favor and they're certainly not compassionate or reasonable.

00:13:29.020 It remains to be seen if people will actually be drawn back to Calgary and maybe there's

00:13:36.300 some sort of long play where a bunch of businesses come home under this guise of eco virtue signaling.

00:13:41.820 But I think as far as the folks on the streets and your average Calgarian, the sentiment has

00:13:48.180 soured.

00:13:48.620 It'll be interesting to see sort of approval ratings and stuff.

00:13:50.960 But there's been throughout Nenshi's entire term, there was a few sort of incidents where

00:13:55.960 people were outraged broadly.

00:13:58.180 Now we have in the short term that Jyoti has been mayor, basically three incidents that

00:14:02.300 have people outraged and upset with her conduct as mayor.

00:14:06.940 So barring some significant change, I'm hopeful she seems to be here for a little while anyways.

00:14:12.740 I'm hopeful she realizes that this path she's going down, which is an extremist path on almost

00:14:17.500 all of these fronts, is not sustainable and that's not what Calgarians voted for.

00:14:22.800 And hopefully she redresses or redirects her energies towards helping Calgarians instead 1.00

00:14:29.560 of her own virtue signaling and political battles.

00:14:33.340 Now, you have given Calgarians a chance to have their voices heard on this issue.

00:14:39.140 Why don't you tell us a little bit about that?

00:14:40.520 Yeah, so we launched the NoClimateEmergency.com campaign by extension of this campaign.

00:14:47.360 We've gotten the information out there, let people know the simple fact that there is

00:14:51.780 no climate emergency in Calgary, as is plain to see.

00:14:54.580 And we also had the opportunity to get the No Climate Emergency billboard truck out there,

00:14:58.740 getting this message across, highlighting the hypocrisy of these celebrities, child actors, 0.86

00:15:04.000 et cetera.

00:15:04.780 But ultimately, the intention behind No Climate Emergency is for people to sign their petition.

00:15:09.800 We've already had 15,000 people sign the petition saying that there is no climate emergency

00:15:14.760 in Calgary.

00:15:15.480 Enough is enough with this rhetoric.

00:15:17.120 At NoClimateEmergency.com, you can also click our one-click politics button, which allows

00:15:21.660 you to send an email directly to GOT, and you can sort of fill in the form and get a message

00:15:26.520 across.

00:15:27.060 And those are really impactful because they look at each and every one of those, and then

00:15:30.760 it really gets the message across that this is not what we voted for and that we support

00:15:35.900 Canadian energy.

00:15:37.080 And I think that's what this ultimately boils down to.

00:15:39.140 This is an attack from the mayor of Calgary on the industry that built this city.

00:15:44.240 Calgary is a great city, largely because of energy sectors.

00:15:48.260 Lots of the luxuries, the cultural things that we get to enjoy in Calgary come from donations

00:15:54.520 from major oil companies.

00:15:56.500 The wealth in this city that we enjoy comes from this industry.

00:16:00.120 And for the mayor of this city to be attacking it is very upsetting.

00:16:03.260 So this is an opportunity to go to NoClimateEmergency.com, sign that petition, say that there is no

00:16:09.560 climate emergency, but first and foremost, that you support Canadian energy sectors.

00:16:14.780 You know, Adam, I want to thank you so much for working so hard to give people a chance

00:16:19.380 to remind their own mayor that she's the mayor of Houston North, not Toronto West.

00:16:25.100 And I want to thank you for your time.

00:16:28.320 And you know what?

00:16:30.280 Just keep fighting for freedom out there.

00:16:32.940 Will do.

00:16:33.440 Thanks, Phil.

00:16:33.780 What are human rights?

00:16:41.460 Well, unfortunately, that depends on who you ask, whether it's your neighbor, your employer,

00:16:45.680 the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

00:16:50.560 Each of them has their own definition, but what's shared amongst all of them is an understanding

00:16:55.020 that we're supposed to treat people fairly and with dignity.

00:16:58.220 As the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights would say, quote,

00:17:02.020 All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and in rights.

00:17:06.600 They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit

00:17:11.040 of brotherhood.

00:17:11.840 At no point do they say you need a QR code to be considered human.

00:17:15.700 But if you went to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, you might think otherwise, as you

00:17:20.600 might have seen in our recent video.

00:17:21.940 All the California states that it must be open, the visitors must be double vaccinated.

00:17:26.700 So many people standing outside, trying to get in. 0.94

00:17:30.040 Then why are you guys protecting this s**t?

00:17:32.780 It's just, it's a region over there. 0.90

00:17:34.780 Yeah.

00:17:35.000 I'm Andrew.

00:17:35.980 This is the only museum in North America of human rights.

00:17:39.360 The fourth floor of this building is a very huge significance to exactly why we're here.

00:17:44.980 That's right.

00:17:45.600 The Canadian Museum for Human Rights has begun to discriminate against their own clientele,

00:17:50.120 all over whether or not they have the state-sponsored QR code meant to determine whether or not you've

00:17:56.260 been fully vaccinated.

00:17:58.080 This is something that I experienced while I was there as well.

00:18:00.500 But what makes this all even more surreal is the fact that Manitoba has already ended their

00:18:05.320 state of emergency.

00:18:06.600 Although thanks to their top bureaucrat, Brent Rusin, he's issued a new set of public health

00:18:12.340 orders that are meant to go on seemingly forever.

00:18:15.920 Public health has approved the Winnipeg Blue Bombers game on August 5th to take place with

00:18:23.300 100% capacity to fully vaccinated fans.

00:18:26.820 He goes on to say the threat to public health cannot be prevented, reduced, or eliminated

00:18:32.740 without taking special measures.

00:18:34.800 The special circumstances around being able to go to a movie or a bomber game if you're

00:18:39.000 double vaxxed are extra privileges.

00:18:40.540 And just like that, these so-called extra privileges have now gone from being a temporary measure

00:18:46.760 to a permanent one.

00:18:48.920 So when I went to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, which is in Winnipeg, Manitoba,

00:18:53.460 I wanted to know about their reaction to these newfound orders.

00:18:58.240 But unfortunately, I wasn't able to speak with a representative while I was there.

00:19:01.420 What's this say?

00:19:01.920 This is the media representative?

00:19:02.880 This is just a general email box and a hotline, but I'll try to go first.

00:19:12.600 Okay, thank you very much.

00:19:13.380 Though I did reach out by email, as you might have heard in our last video, I actually got

00:19:18.180 a response.

00:19:18.960 I got a proper response.

00:19:20.860 They answered all of my questions, even if they were interesting, to say the least.

00:19:25.340 So to start, I wanted to go back to the very beginning and find out what the motive was

00:19:31.240 behind the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the late Israel Asper, who pioneered this

00:19:37.040 museum.

00:19:37.560 Well, this is what he had to say.

00:19:39.380 I went to Prime Minister Trudeau and said, look, your magnum opus is the Canadian Charter

00:19:46.020 of Rights and a national institution should be launched to teach its values and the precepts

00:19:52.140 of it.

00:19:52.400 So it was envisioned as a national institution meant to teach the values and the precepts

00:19:57.620 of the Canadian Charter of Rights.

00:19:59.440 Well, there you have it.

00:20:01.000 But I wanted to know if the current regulations that are being imposed in relation to the

00:20:07.340 QR codes and whether or not you have the right color QR code means that you may or may not

00:20:11.180 be allowed to enter.

00:20:12.280 I wanted to know if that was in line with the vision that Israel Asper had for the Canadian

00:20:17.000 Museum for Human Rights.

00:20:18.380 The museum's adherence to government regulations designed to combat the spread of the COVID-19

00:20:24.740 pandemic does not conflict with Israel Asper's vision for human rights education.

00:20:30.340 I gotta be honest, she actually makes me feel a little silly for asking the question because

00:20:34.180 of course, they're an educational platform.

00:20:37.440 They're not an advocacy group.

00:20:38.900 In other words, they don't need to practice what they preach, which I think is unfortunate

00:20:43.980 because there's a certain gravitas that comes with their lack of stance on such matters that

00:20:49.620 many would argue pertain to human rights.

00:20:51.560 Not only did Sid cover the story of somebody else being discriminated against by the Human

00:20:56.540 Rights Museum, Sid himself was discriminated against by the Human Rights Museum.

00:21:01.800 But instead of that just being the end of the story, Sid also went looking for answers and

00:21:06.520 through answers, accountability.

00:21:09.100 Sid asked 11 questions of the Human Rights Museum and he got 11 answers.

00:21:13.340 Many, in my opinion, were wholly unsatisfactory.

00:21:16.660 In fact, many of the answers given to Sid amounted to excuses that some of the greatest human rights

00:21:25.080 abusers of our time have used, that they were just following the law.

00:21:30.280 Sid joins me now.

00:21:31.780 Sid, what was the most shocking thing for you that came back in those answers from the

00:21:37.100 Human Rights Museum?

00:21:39.280 Honestly, I think it was the totality of it.

00:21:41.820 Like, I expected there might be some answers that were a little below par, but it was the

00:21:46.220 whole email was just riddled with, we're following orders, we're following orders.

00:21:50.440 And the amount of answers I got, well, that depends on what you define an answer as being.

00:21:55.100 So, yeah, I mean, one of them was, well, we're just complying with the law, which is exactly

00:22:02.000 what so many, I hate to compare COVID to the Holocaust, but that is literally an example 0.93

00:22:09.340 that was given by people who worked in concentration camps that we were just following the law.

00:22:14.760 And I suppose the whole point of human rights is that sometimes human rights abusers will pass laws

00:22:21.700 that are legal, but they aren't just, and it is incumbent on people who are human rights activists,

00:22:27.940 as they tell me they are at the Human Rights Museum, to object to these laws.

00:22:32.980 But the Human Rights Museum has not objected once, they've never expressed dismay at what

00:22:39.900 the Manitoba government is doing, and they are actively enforcing the system here.

00:22:46.660 What was some of the feedback that you've heard from the public on your story?

00:22:50.720 For me, it's one of the most emailed stories I got that week, back to me, people commenting

00:22:55.120 on it.

00:22:55.760 What was the feedback for you?

00:22:58.000 Just shock, mostly.

00:22:59.440 Just people coming to the realization that, yeah, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is

00:23:04.340 the one that's in fact doing this.

00:23:06.000 And they are just following orders.

00:23:08.300 I asked them very specifically, like, did they independently seek a medical expert to

00:23:13.580 find out if they had the best COVID policy that they could make?

00:23:16.900 And they haven't done any research.

00:23:18.680 All they were told was that the Manitoba government said, you have to do this, and now they're doing

00:23:22.520 it.

00:23:23.200 No questions asked.

00:23:24.000 Now, for people who haven't seen your original video, when you went to the museum and they

00:23:30.620 said you couldn't come in, when you tried to go in, did they ask you why you were unvaccinated?

00:23:38.040 For example, this is a human rights museum where whole sections of it are dedicated to religious

00:23:44.600 freedom and what happens when religious freedom isn't respected or what happens to a whole entire

00:23:51.180 religious and cultural group when they are treated as disease vectors.

00:23:55.120 I guess my question is, they never really asked you why you were unvaccinated.

00:24:00.760 It could be for religious reasons.

00:24:02.880 It's none of my business.

00:24:03.900 It's nobody else's.

00:24:05.000 But they never even got that far with you, did they?

00:24:08.460 Yeah, no, not exactly.

00:24:10.580 And it's kind of a shame.

00:24:12.360 I mean, even on their COVID-19 policy on their website, it doesn't list the fact that there

00:24:17.440 are vaccine exemptions, even though it will tell you that there are mask exemptions.

00:24:21.520 And I think it's funny because even still, they have yet to update their policy to show

00:24:25.600 this.

00:24:25.920 So they're being very reluctant in terms of the exceptions that are being made because

00:24:31.900 they're really just pushing the, what do you call it, the party narrative of our government

00:24:37.500 ruling class.

00:24:38.220 Yeah, I mean, one of the responses you got back from Isha Khan, you asked her, there are

00:24:47.440 government orders in place requiring the Human Rights Museum to only accept those who have

00:24:51.200 been fully vaccinated as deemed by the province of Manitoba.

00:24:55.320 However, in a story on the human rights website called Us Versus Them, the process of othering,

00:25:01.880 the museum highlights that people are different.

00:25:04.260 We can use our differences as an opportunity to share and learn.

00:25:08.220 Um, and when we highlight differences between groups of people to increase suspicion of

00:25:14.440 them, to insult them, or to exclude them, we are going down a path known as othering.

00:25:19.680 This is on their own website.

00:25:21.880 And they have no idea that they are doing this to people at the door every day.

00:25:28.380 Anyone, even with a single eye, can see that that's exactly what they were doing.

00:25:31.960 But they, they, again, they fall behind this veil of, we're just following the rules.

00:25:36.000 Sorry, we're just following the rules.

00:25:37.280 And not even an apology.

00:25:38.720 Uh, just, we're following the rules.

00:25:41.040 Yeah.

00:25:41.440 I mean, their answer to that, when you said, is it a concern that the Human Rights Museum

00:25:46.200 is now othering?

00:25:47.340 They said, we are following laws and guidelines intended to protect the general public during

00:25:51.900 a deadly pandemic.

00:25:52.860 We could swap out a few words here, and that could apply to any great human rights abuser

00:25:58.520 of the 20th century.

00:25:59.700 And, um, this is a place where it should be, a place where all Canadians can go to learn

00:26:08.260 about civil liberties, to learn about human rights, and yet they are one of the greatest

00:26:13.220 violators of it in Manitoba right now.

00:26:16.880 And it's especially funny, because this is a crown corporation, which means that we're all

00:26:21.580 waiting for this to be in existence, and they don't make much money, as I've seen on, uh,

00:26:27.540 looking up some of the revenue.

00:26:28.680 So, it really is you and me paying for it, and you and me are now not allowed to go.

00:26:34.260 You know, and that is also another great point to make, because it's not just the Human Rights

00:26:39.300 Museum.

00:26:39.960 The discrimination is happening to people who pay for public infrastructure all over the

00:26:45.800 place.

00:26:46.440 We've got unvaccinated people, or not just unvaccinated people, but people who are unwilling

00:26:50.780 to participate in a vaccine passport system.

00:26:53.760 So, these may be people who are vaccinated, but who also say, I'm not going to be part of

00:26:58.620 a system of segregation, who are being denied access to local recreation centers, local

00:27:03.860 swimming pools.

00:27:04.560 The things that their tax dollars are building in their community, they can't even access

00:27:08.520 them, because they're part of the unclean class. 0.61

00:27:11.540 And that is a story that is sort of within this one story about the Human Rights Museum, because

00:27:19.440 that's happening not just at the museum, it's happening everywhere across the country.

00:27:24.440 And as someone who, you know, documented their own segregation for the world to see, I guess,

00:27:33.480 what is it like as a young guy in Calgary trying to live your life while being sort of outside

00:27:39.760 that system?

00:27:41.760 Well, it's kind of surreal.

00:27:43.000 Like, my story being in Calgary is because I came from Toronto, and on the way is when

00:27:48.800 I went to the Human Rights Museum.

00:27:50.000 And it's quite fascinating that as I went through the provinces, there was restrictions in this

00:27:55.000 province, restrictions in that province, and I got to Alberta, and it was a little more

00:27:57.760 free.

00:27:58.760 And restrictions came here as well.

00:28:00.760 And so it is kind of doom and gloom in both areas.

00:28:04.760 But it is funny that I went to the Human Rights Museum, and it was straight to the chase discrimination.

00:28:10.760 And then I came here.

00:28:11.760 And another story that you're familiar with, Without Papers, I went into that restaurant

00:28:16.760 when they were still serving people and not asking for the vaccine passport.

00:28:20.600 And it truly felt like normal life.

00:28:22.600 It felt like before 2019, I was just going into a place to eat food at a restaurant.

00:28:27.600 And that contrast, it's still prominent, considering that a lot of places have gone underground because

00:28:33.600 they don't want to enforce this vaccine passport.

00:28:35.600 But it's harder and harder to find at a public level.

00:28:40.600 You know, it's so surreal to hear somebody say, just going inside to sit down and eat without

00:28:48.600 being asked for a vaccine passport.

00:28:50.600 That's the abnormal thing these days, as opposed to having your medical privacy invaded by your

00:28:57.600 bartender.

00:28:58.600 That's the normal legal thing.

00:29:01.600 It's funny how quickly things shifted in 20 or 21 months of two weeks to flatten the curve.

00:29:10.600 I guess I'll ask you, what are your predictions for the future?

00:29:14.600 You're a new Albertan, but we're glad to have you.

00:29:18.600 Do you think we're going to reopen faster than everybody else?

00:29:22.600 Or are we just going to follow everybody else?

00:29:24.600 It's so hard to tell.

00:29:26.600 I mean, honestly, most of the decisions are made behind closed doors.

00:29:30.600 Politicians will tell the public one thing.

00:29:32.600 They'll say, hey, you know, we're opening right now because this, that, whatever.

00:29:35.600 And then, hey, now, sorry, we're closing because of Omicron.

00:29:38.600 So it keeps on changing.

00:29:40.600 I mean, there is a bit of uniformity, as we've seen with the latest round of policies.

00:29:44.600 But it really is based on the individual politician in whichever region they're allocated towards.

00:29:50.600 So it is extremely hard to say.

00:29:53.600 But I think as things have gone on, and especially now with this third booster or third vaccine, whatever they want to call it, being pushed, more and more people are thinking, OK, wait a second.

00:30:03.600 This isn't about me getting my vaccine.

00:30:05.600 This is about me constantly being up to date with the government is now asking me to do.

00:30:10.600 Oh, one last question before I let you go, because I find it curious because I've lived here my whole life.

00:30:15.600 So this is just normal for me.

00:30:17.600 What is your experience with the people of Alberta?

00:30:20.600 Are we, I guess, what's the right word?

00:30:23.600 Are we ungovernable?

00:30:24.600 Is that our problem?

00:30:26.600 We just don't go along to get along?

00:30:28.600 I wouldn't necessarily say that.

00:30:31.600 Well, it's difficult for me because I'm living in the core of Calgary.

00:30:34.600 So I'm not really I'm still experiencing that downtown kind of liberal tilt as I would in Toronto.

00:30:41.600 But I have noticed, especially in Calgary, it's not the city that Toronto is.

00:30:46.600 Toronto is a city surrounded in other cities here.

00:30:49.600 It's a city surrounded by a town, by a large swath of farmland.

00:30:54.600 So it's got that city vibe as well as that country vibe, which I think gives it a little more sturdiness in the face of authoritarianism because people out there in the country, they have a little more of their wits about them.

00:31:08.600 It's true, we do.

00:31:09.600 What a great place to leave this interview.

00:31:11.600 Sid, thanks for your work.

00:31:13.600 So you worked so hard this year and you've really, I think, come into your own as not just a videographer, but a video journalist.

00:31:24.600 And I think that's evident for our viewers to see.

00:31:26.600 So thank you so much.

00:31:28.600 Have a great weekend and have a great Christmas.

00:31:31.600 I really appreciate that.

00:31:32.600 You too.

00:31:33.600 And I learned from the best here.

00:31:34.600 So it's all thanks to you.

00:31:36.600 Thanks, Sid.

00:31:37.600 Dr. Theresa Tam and her Snoopy Inept Public Health Agency of Canada are moving into Chinese social credit territory with their coming attempts to monitor and track innocent Canadians as we go about our lives. 0.51

00:31:56.600 They want to know where you are, when you were there, and who exactly you were with.

00:32:01.600 And they are going to use your cell phone data and location information to do it.

00:32:05.600 And it's all here in black and white.

00:32:07.600 It's not a conspiracy theory.

00:32:09.600 It's in this latest request for proposal posted publicly on the government's contracts and procurement website by cell.gc.ca.

00:32:17.600 Look at this.

00:32:18.600 The Public Health Agency of Canada requires access to cell tower operator location data that is secure, processed, and timely in addition to being adequately vetted for security, legal, privacy, and transparency considerations to assist in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and for other public health applications.

00:32:37.600 Aggregated indicators derived from cell tower operator location data provide insightful information and allow for meaningful analysis on the mobility or movement of populations in Canada.

00:32:48.600 These analyses and findings provide situational awareness and help inform policy, public health messaging, evaluation of public health measures, and other aspects related to public health response, programming, planning, and preparedness.

00:33:03.600 At Rebel News, we get the most thoughtful viewer feedback.

00:33:06.600 You send it, we do our best to read it.

00:33:08.600 Now, on my video about the Public Health Agency of Canada actively looking for a contractor to spy on your cell phone data, Gary Boats writes,

00:33:17.600 How did public health go from being a near-invisible government agency that got the Canada Food Guide wrong for decades to being the controlling force in Canada?

00:33:27.600 Amen, Gary. Amen.

00:33:29.600 I yearn for the days when the only time we ever heard Dina Hinshaw's name here in Alberta was when she was busy warning us about the increase in syphilis rates after the Calgary Stampede, and she would generally warn us about the increase in rates after the Stampede, and not before when it matters.

00:33:46.600 The MZX124 writes,

00:33:49.600 What else would you expect from a government led by a guy who once stated on record that he admires China's style of governing, social credit scores coming?

00:33:59.600 Isn't that what a vaccine passport really is, though, an indicator of your compliance with the government?

00:34:03.600 It's a QR code that says you're one of the governable, because it doesn't make you any safer.

00:34:09.600 It doesn't mean you can't contract COVID.

00:34:11.600 It also doesn't mean that you won't spread COVID.

00:34:14.600 It just means that you'll do what you're told in exchange for minor behavioral rewards, like one of Pavlov's dogs, I guess.

00:34:22.600 Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight.

00:34:24.600 Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:34:26.600 Thank you to everybody in Toronto who turned the hodgepodge of videos I sent them into a workable show for our beloved viewers to watch.

00:34:35.600 I'm back again in the big chair for David next week as he rests and recuperates and rejuvenates and enjoys his break with his loving family.

00:34:44.600 Now, as David says, and I know I got this wrong last week, but without risk, there can be no glory.

00:34:50.600 I got this wrong.

00:34:51.600 You're the one moment.

00:34:52.600 I got the two times live in the community and a lot of people.

00:34:53.600 We spent a very fast benefit.

00:34:54.600 Knowing everything, never really, never even.

00:34:55.600 Until then, we'll receive the hand tribunity.

00:34:56.600 load.

00:34:57.600 Absolutely.

00:34:58.600 Thanks for our first time.

00:34:59.600 We're really thousandaman.

00:35:00.600 See you guys next time.

00:35:01.600 Take me when I say forty to five minutes.

00:35:02.600 Tillin, it's time to Altern.

00:35:03.600 ếpe Sentinel, and Tabby Madrid.

00:35:04.600 Oh viele.

00:35:05.600 That bring change.

00:35:06.600 Matte, ph——.

00:35:07.600 droppingadores and alles and all.

00:35:08.600 All right.

00:35:09.600 Go into предлож 피부.

00:35:10.600 They're not going.

00:35:11.600 Lady's greatはいemptive.

00:35:12.600 You know.

00:35:13.600 Will decide you have a initiative related theme

00:35:14.800 to make a sense of the vision.

00:35:15.600 There must do more than a little change.
