Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ Is this the most pointless strike in the history of industrial action？

00:00:00.000 tonight why the strike by the employees of the liquor control board of ontario

00:00:20.540 might be the dumbest strike in the history of strikes it's tuesday july 9th 2024 i'm

00:00:29.860 david mendes and this is the ezra levent show

00:00:33.100 shame on you you sensorious 0.99

00:00:38.740 could the strike by the 9 000 employees at the liquor control board of ontario

00:00:54.600 be the most stupid strike in the history of strikes sure looks that way to me if you happen

00:01:02.420 to reside in the province of ontario and you are hoping to pick up a bottle at the local lcbo outlet

00:01:08.620 well you are sort of out of luck but certainly not completely out of luck i say sort of because

00:01:17.320 while you can't shop in a government owned and operated lcbo store for at least the next two

00:01:24.200 weeks that's not to say you're going to be denied purchasing alcohol outright there's the privately

00:01:31.980 owned beer store chain after all there are independent wine shops there are those grocery

00:01:37.400 stores that have already been granted licenses to sell beer and wine and get this a consumer can

00:01:44.840 simply go online and order anything they so desire from the lcbo's own website and you know when the

00:01:53.720 strike ends i just wonder how many customers will go back to bricks and mortar lcbo stores once they

00:02:03.080 discover the convenience of online liquor shopping that definitely won't bode well for lcbo job security

00:02:11.880 will it now but the point is so much for the union holding consumers hostage here with this strike

00:02:19.660 with all the aforementioned options a long hot dry summer well it just ain't gonna happen

00:02:26.920 and i'll tell you another reason this strike is resoundingly stupid most strike mandates are driven by

00:02:34.760 demands for better wages and benefits and working conditions but this strike is being driven by

00:02:41.240 a desire to change government policy last week the lcbo said in a statement that the union that

00:02:49.480 represents lcbo workers that would be the ontario public sector employees union made it clear numerous

00:02:58.680 times at the bargaining table that workers would go out on strike to force the government to change course

00:03:07.640 vis-a-vis freeing up alcohol sales in ontario opsu especially wants the ford pc's to reverse their

00:03:16.600 decision to expand the sale of ready-to-drink beverages like coolers and seltzers in grocery and convenience

00:03:26.280 stores oh my god seltzers and coolers and grocery and convenience stores that's got to be the end of the world

00:03:34.360 right i think i see the four horsemen of the apocalypse galloping toward ontario given that there's no way

00:03:42.280 in hell ontarians are addled enough to buy coolers and seltzers in a non-government run liquor store

00:03:51.640 now granted the premier has earned the nickname flip-flop ford for reversing so many decisions on so many

00:04:00.600 numerous occasions but i don't think ontario's chief cherry cheesecake eating enthusiast is going

00:04:07.080 to cave in on this file especially given i reckon there is almost zero public sympathy for lcbo workers

00:04:17.720 who earn far more than other retail workers and especially since there is enormous pent-up demand

00:04:26.520 for freeing up liquor sales in ontario we're not even into the first full week of this strike and

00:04:34.360 this is a loser for the union and a win for the government and while i have no idea how long this

00:04:41.640 strike will last i'm going to give opsu seven figures worth of free consulting advice which is to say hey

00:04:49.720 guys bend the knee asap and order your members back to work in fact as far as i'm concerned the ford pcs

00:04:59.640 are not going far enough on this file obviously the lcbo will be downsized in the years to come

00:05:07.320 but it won't disappear entirely like liquor control boards did in alberta and saskatchewan

00:05:14.200 and that's really a pity indeed as the lcbo rank and file are on the picket lines we need to ask 0.99

00:05:22.040 bigger questions about the very role of government when it comes to retailing alcohol such as why the

00:05:30.200 heck is government in the booze business to begin with it's truly a perverse thing isn't it especially

00:05:37.800 for those who want less government in their lives sure there is a role for government when it comes to

00:05:45.720 running certain institutions the armed forces come to mind but liquor stores really shouldn't the role

00:05:54.040 of government here to be regulating and taxing as opposed to retailing alcoholic beverages in fact

00:06:03.240 the decades-old justification of government running a liquor monopoly and for that matter a lottery ticket

00:06:10.520 monopoly too is based on that slice of ideology known as social responsibility what that catchphrase

00:06:19.800 boils down to is that the private sector only cares about profits you see private liquor stores just want

00:06:28.600 to sell as much booze as possible damn the consequences all private sector liquor store operators want to 0.59

00:06:36.760 do is move the merchandise and the next thing you know you'll have 12 year old kids guzzling down

00:06:42.840 colt 45 in the parking lot but government on the other hand well government is more compassionate

00:06:50.440 and caring and yes more socially responsible the government would rather turn down a sale of liquor

00:07:00.280 if that hooch was destined to be consumed by a minor oh won't somebody please think of the children

00:07:07.720 oh really well folks i put that social responsibility nonsense to the test more than a decade ago when i was

00:07:16.760 working at the sun news network we proved it to be a complete fallacy here's the deal we had a 14 year

00:07:24.440 old boy clad in a burka walk into three different lcbo stores whereupon he bought three bottles of hard

00:07:33.400 liquor no questions asked completely unchallenged here check it out we're going to see if we can

00:07:41.080 buy a bottle of hooch or if the lcbo is going to live up to their socially responsible mandate of challenge

00:07:49.800 and we're going to find out what happens right now

00:08:01.160 1325 please

00:08:08.200 so uh no challenging reviews there right no not even a little book well there you have it folks

00:08:33.000 three out of three times a 14 year old boy wearing a burka was able to buy booze id and identity

00:08:41.960 unchecked and you know something that goes actually against the lcbo's own policy when it comes to face

00:08:49.320 coverings be it a motorcycle helmet a halloween mask or a burka or any cab in fact here's the policy in

00:08:55.960 writing folks in order for staff to comply with the law and the lcbo's check 25 program that's a

00:09:02.840 program folks where if you look under 25 your identification is automatically checked they must

00:09:09.160 first assess a customer's apparent age this must be done by looking at the customer's face in full

00:09:18.120 should the face be covered staff are required to ask the customer to remove the covering well it was

00:09:25.160 quite the bombshell story at the time and in a follow-up story the toronto sun reported ali vitnuski

00:09:33.480 a spokesman for finance minister dwight duncan who then oversaw the lcbo said that the lcbo has a policy

00:09:42.520 that demands age verification for any client who appears to be under 25 years old and said there's also an lcbo

00:09:51.640 policy in place to deal with face coverings whether it's a niqab burka mask or costume namely

00:09:59.160 that face covering has to be removed and the age of the purchaser has to be verified with valid

00:10:06.280 government issued id but as you saw none of that was done in our test and equally important was this

00:10:14.360 did any of those staffers at any of those three lcbo stores caught breaking the law get reprimanded did

00:10:21.480 any of those lcbo stores get shut down for a week or three as a penalty absolutely not the government

00:10:29.560 just shrugged its shoulders and essentially said hey stuff happens and we'll try to do better next time

00:10:37.080 now do you think the operator of say a corner store who sold a pack of cigarettes to a minor

00:10:44.440 would be treated with such kid gloves and given such clemency and not a chance we're talking severe

00:10:51.880 fines and if that was a repeat violation the store owner would likely lose his license to sell tobacco

00:11:00.680 an economic death sentence talk about a double standard talk about do as i say not as i do

00:11:09.000 social responsibility aside there is another humongous lie when it comes to justifying

00:11:14.760 government-run liquor monopolies namely that such a liquor monopoly is a cash cow nothing could be

00:11:22.760 further from the truth that's because in a privatized system the government is still collecting taxation

00:11:31.080 that revenue stream never evaporates so the idea that things like the oh i don't know the health

00:11:37.640 care system is going to crumble without the lcbo in place is absolute poppycock in fact in recent years 0.99

00:11:46.760 in ontario the lcbo has been spending enormous amounts of money on what are effectively kaj mahal liquor

00:11:55.400 temples the likes of which one would never see in a privatized and competitive liquor retailing

00:12:02.600 environment this is both irresponsible and a slap in the face to all ontarian taxpayers

00:12:10.440 indeed check out the stats according to statistics canada as of april 1st 2023 the government of alberta earned

00:12:19.320 a per capita return of 177 dollars and 62 cents via its sale of liquor in the province's fully privatized

00:12:29.880 retail setup in ontario the lcbo's per capita return to the province is just 166 dollars and 91 cents or

00:12:42.280 about 11 dollars lower per person uh looks like that cash cow really needs to be put out to pasture

00:12:50.360 in ontario me thinks and here's another reason why the union lashing out against opening up the liquor

00:12:57.560 marketplace does not make any sense whatsoever that's because in the province of ontario when it

00:13:03.880 comes to liquor sales all ontarians are equal but some ontarians are more equal than others case in

00:13:13.000 point for decades now there have been more than 400 so-called lcbo agency stores in the province

00:13:21.800 these agency stores are part of a convenience store or a gas station and are situated in small markets that

00:13:30.520 cannot sustain a full-fledged lcbo store but wait a minute how is it that someone can buy booze at a

00:13:40.600 convenience store in tiny quarter lakes or cameron but that the people of say toronto ottawa hamilton london

00:13:49.240 and windsor well obviously those folks are too immature to do likewise does this make sense to anyone

00:13:58.040 so to recap the strike is destined for failure the union does not hold a hammer here and public opinion

00:14:09.240 is not on the side of the strikers and the government is not going to back down look i get that the head

00:14:17.720 honchos at opsu need something to do now that there's no longer a pro-hamas encampment operating at the

00:14:26.360 university of toronto which was another lost cause of course for opsu but opsu is trying to put the brakes

00:14:36.360 on progress here that never works but i will say this though folks with all 677 lcbo stores locked down

00:14:48.120 there is at least one silver lining here namely shoplifting which allegedly cost the lcbo tens of

00:14:58.040 millions of dollars annually will be reduced to zero as long as those picket lines remain active

00:15:06.840 at least that's something beleaguered ontario taxpayers can raise a toast to this summer

00:15:13.240 the public sector union that represents liquor store workers is out of control indeed the blame for

00:15:23.240 this strike lay squarely at the feet of opsu as opposed to the rank and file frontline workers the union is

00:15:31.160 flexing its ideological muscles it is less concerned about improving wages and benefits of its members

00:15:39.320 and more concerned with reversing government policy that gives consumers more choice but a bigger

00:15:48.040 question arises why is the government even in the booze retailing business to begin with the role of

00:15:56.360 government is to tax and regulate liquor not to sell the stuff please go to our new website sell the lcbo.com

00:16:07.320 that's sell the lcbo.com it's high time to put this government-run liquor monopoly out to pasture once and for all

00:16:23.560 adam so is here for rebel news and i'm on location in calgary at mp jasraj singhalan's stampede breakfast folks

00:16:31.240 i gotta break it to you if you didn't already know justin trudeau isn't particularly popular right now he's

00:16:36.920 so unpopular in fact that he decided not to attend this year's calgary stampede at all i suspect he

00:16:42.760 understands the type of reception he would get after attacking alberta and alberta's industries

00:16:47.560 for so long someone who is here on the other hand and who was joining virtually all the other

00:16:52.280 politicians from all levels of government to state their case as to why they deserve your vote

00:16:57.800 is pierre paulieva now we likely won't get a chance to talk with him he tends to jump in and out of

00:17:02.840 these things pretty quick but we're certainly going to speak to some elected officials both

00:17:06.680 on the provincial and federal level and see why they believe pierre paulieva is the person

00:17:11.320 to be the next prime minister and is the person to lead this country moving forward i do of course feel

00:17:16.440 like i'm a bit of the warm up act because i know that we've got a very very special guest in the

00:17:21.560 audience today so let's give a warm stampede welcome to pierre paulieva the leader of the

00:17:37.080 good morning everybody yahoo

00:17:41.640 what a crowd thank you so much for being here and of course we're so honored we have

00:17:46.360 colleagues from the conservative common sense conservative party

00:17:49.560 speaking of the canadian dream we know after nine years of justin trudeau it's gone

00:17:54.040 where powerful paychecks where if you put in hard work you could afford a home have a powerful

00:18:00.120 paycheck run a business and see safe communities for your kids that have all gone away after nine

00:18:06.680 years of justin trudeau's high inflationary spending high interest rates his carbon tax scam

00:18:14.120 but it wasn't like this before justin trudeau and it won't be like that after he's gone

00:18:19.000 because under a common sense conservative government led by the honorable pierre paulieva

00:18:24.680 we're going to bring home that canadian dream again by axing the tax building the homes fixing

00:18:31.160 the budget and stopping the crime

00:18:36.680 i'm honored to introduce our common sense conservative leader and the next prime minister of canada the

00:18:44.200 honourable pierre paulieva

00:18:49.880 thank you jazz anna and i are honored to be back to celebrate the greatest outdoor show on earth with

00:19:00.200 your common sense conservative team

00:19:05.800 and thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this possible we have pancakes we have coffee

00:19:12.520 we even have some turkey which we sourced right from parliament hill so make sure to enjoy it

00:19:20.520 i haven't seen justin trudeau around i think he's hiding under a rock

00:19:27.720 he's hiding from his caucus he's hiding from calgarians he's hiding from all canadians 0.98

00:19:33.720 and that's okay because in not too long we're going to buy him a one-way ticket and we're going to bring

00:19:39.800 home the country that we knew and love very happy now to be joined by jazz reg singhalan the host of

00:19:47.080 this incredible stampede breakfast event we just saw pierre paulieva speak here i suppose my question

00:19:53.560 for you is why do you believe that pierre paulieva is the best prime minister to ensure that alberta

00:19:59.080 and calgary have a spot at the table in ottawa this is a really loaded question because i can go on forever but

00:20:05.960 after nine years of justin trudeau and uh jikmeet singh canada is broken it's clear to see the

00:20:12.520 reason why i stood behind pierre paulieva from day one when he was running for leader

00:20:16.840 is because he's a born and raised albertan and calgarian and he knows that without alberta canada

00:20:23.560 cannot prosper do you believe that under pierre paulieva leadership alberta will actually have a seat

00:20:29.000 at the table in ottawa yeah i think we have a so much better chance i mean we do we have a government

00:20:33.240 right now with uh with trudeau that is just antagonistic towards alberta we just see it

00:20:38.760 every day and it's so disheartening and i think under uh pierre paulieva with the conservative

00:20:43.080 government we definitely have a better chance of being at the table being listened to and being

00:20:46.520 respected well certainly i've had some conversations with mr paulieva and certainly he understands some

00:20:51.800 of the challenges we're facing regarding uh crime and social and civil disorder not just here in alberta

00:20:56.920 but right across the country i know that he's uh listening and certainly um he's somebody that is

00:21:02.760 willing to make those changes to make canada and and quite frankly alberta a safer place he's a

00:21:07.720 south alberta boy he's from southern calgary we we all have a very he and i have a very similar

00:21:12.200 experience i grew up in mindapore he grew up in shaughnessy and his message from coast to coast has been

00:21:16.280 to axe attacks build the homes fix the budget stop the crime and it resonates irrespective of geography

00:21:21.720 and language you saw his multi-day tour through quebec where he met amazing people who want the same

00:21:27.880 things we want out here in the west they want the opportunity to dream big things to be free

00:21:32.520 to own a home and live their lives crime-free these things are common sense ideas that are

00:21:37.720 resonating nationwide and i think he's been an incredible communicator with an incredible work

00:21:42.760 ethic that has built a consensus in this country that not only is it time for change it's time for

00:21:47.640 the kind of change that only peer polyev can deliver absolutely when we know that from our experiences with

00:21:52.840 the federal conservative party and our relationship with them we've worked very collaborative collaboratively

00:21:57.800 and closely in any number of areas with the federal conservative party on various initiatives they're

00:22:03.320 the only government they're the only uh members of parliament who will actually listen to alberta's needs

00:22:08.120 we know that because we're confident in the collaboration that we're at we're having with them

00:22:12.040 and the success that we're having in advancing our joint provincial federal initiatives to ottawa oh

00:22:17.960 he's a thousand percent for sure the man of course he's going to be the right person to be prime

00:22:23.720 minister of canada and he has deep roots in alberta he knows alberta his mom lives here and uh i think

00:22:30.520 he's really demonstrated affection for our province for our city look he's here he was flipping pancakes and

00:22:36.680 serving constituents for just raj holland and he's he's available he's available to everybody and you know

00:22:43.400 he speaks our language he gets it he knows what alberta needs to really have our voices reflected

00:22:48.840 at the federal level it's incredibly important very happy now to be joined by maria the president and ceo of

00:22:53.320 mackamee college effectively serving as host to this incredible event part of the reason that i wanted to

00:22:57.800 talk to you is uh as we heard there's sort of an applied politics uh a session training opportunity that

00:23:04.200 you guys are bringing in now they say that if you don't do politics politics will be done to you so how important

00:23:08.920 is it to have people who are active and engaged in advocating for western values right across

00:23:13.320 this country well i think it's just really important to get involved so i was born in a

00:23:17.000 communist country and we were told that you should never get involved in politics because you went on

00:23:20.760 the backlash of whatever party being in canada we have this beautiful freedom that you can get involved

00:23:26.200 you can vote you can become an mla you can get engaged you can talk to your local constituents i think

00:23:31.400 it's so important to just get engaged and speak for the values that you want to see in canada

00:23:35.400 canada for me is a land of opportunity alberta expands that so much more and we just love the fact

00:23:40.920 that the community gets together and so with our applied politics program we're just hoping to

00:23:44.600 bring people on to have people understand this is a career option for them and our paul applied

00:23:49.400 politics program is going to be the first of its kind so normally we do a four-year political science

00:23:53.560 degree this is going to be a two-year diploma that's really focused on how do i get engaged in

00:23:58.200 government in roles and responsibilities that can actually impact change and just be aware of what

00:24:03.320 options are available to you our common sense plan is to axe the carbon tax to lower the cost of gas

00:24:12.120 heat and groceries it is to build the homes by clearing away the bureaucracy to have the fastest

00:24:19.560 building permits so that our young people can put roof overhead it is to fix the budget by capping

00:24:27.480 spending and cutting waste to bring down interest rates inflation and income taxes it is to stop the

00:24:34.120 crime by bringing in jail not bail for repeat violent offenders treatment not decriminalized and

00:24:42.280 subsidized drugs to bring our loved ones home drug free hey guys we refuse to accept government funds in

00:24:50.440 order to do this work that we do and that's why we rely on your support one of the funnelies that you can

00:24:54.760 support us beyond just chipping in at rebelfieldreports.com if you're so inclined is by shopping

00:24:59.720 at rebelnewsstore.com you can get a great shirt like this one don't auto up my alberta tons of people

00:25:05.400 here have been saying great shirt where can i get one you can get one for yourself at rebelnewsstore.com

00:25:10.280 using the code adam10 stay clear there is a huge difference between common sense pierre pauliev

00:25:18.760 and justin trudeau who's completely broken canada there's a big difference i'm an immigrant to

00:25:24.600 this country i know and our party knows the importance of immigration to this country we

00:25:29.640 cannot fall behind and our gdp for capital will suffer we don't have the proper workforce now what

00:25:36.520 what do you think it is that is typical of federal politics where during elections with past leaders

00:25:42.680 all the right things are being said there's the right sentiment but with elections being decided by the

00:25:47.480 time that that toronto threshold is crossed what makes pierre pauliev different you know i think just

00:25:52.760 the conservative principles you know he's we have good conservative mps here in alberta and we just

00:25:57.960 need to have their voice represented at the table with the federal government and they're just not

00:26:02.360 right now because uh the current prime minister is just not listening and he doesn't care and again

00:26:07.640 just so antagonistic towards alberta and and our values is what we need now do you feel like the sort

00:26:13.160 of top-down mentality of of feds who take crime seriously would impact alberta crime as well like is it

00:26:19.960 critical not only to have you trying to tackle crime here but have the feds on the same page look

00:26:24.520 i've been very public about this the soft on crime policies by the federal government the current federal

00:26:29.080 government have been an abject failure and we've seen cities right across this country become less

00:26:36.360 safe because of those policies and those changes to the criminal code you know i know they were hoping

00:26:41.320 that c48 was going to be the the magic pill to make things a lot safer in canada but certainly the 0.99

00:26:47.480 data that i've received from the justice minister that it really has not been the case so my position

00:26:53.000 as i've stated even a year ago will not have changed and that c75 needs to be repealed and that's

00:26:58.760 certainly what i'd be advocating uh to uh pierre paulio if and when he becomes the prince you know

00:27:04.520 what i see in my leader is a guy who spends time listening to every last person that comes to every one

00:27:09.640 of his events and when he listens to the desperation the pain the fear that everyday people are encountering

00:27:16.120 because of justin trudeau's horrible decisions uh it is a motivating feature not just for him but from

00:27:21.560 the top down through every part of our party so we have a focus to deliver real and meaningful change

00:27:26.600 to people who need it desperately you look at the cry the price of this carbon tax on everyday life

00:27:32.280 and it is devastating them you look at the mortgage meltdown on the way 900 billion dollars of mortgage

00:27:37.160 default on the horizon because of reckless economic policies by justin trudeau and jagmeet singh

00:27:42.840 polio has complete focus on the families that are being impacted by this so i don't think there's

00:27:47.320 ever a time to to to to let up on the gas it's always a time to keep focused to keep working hard

00:27:53.080 one day at a time to be smart and to be disciplined that the number one issue that comes up in the

00:27:58.200 community is crime soft on crime initiatives from the federal government the challenges and the

00:28:04.760 obstacles and the burdens that we have in accessing uh justice and making sure that the the criminal code

00:28:11.640 and the federal jurisdiction is uh is strengthened uh we've lobbied since the day that i became

00:28:17.960 minister to make sure that the federal government knows and is well aware of all of the uh issues on

00:28:23.320 soft on crime issues the catch and release program and the various other things that we're seeing in

00:28:27.800 the news and in the media all the time and it's been radio silence which tells you exactly what the

00:28:32.760 trudeau government's position is going to be when it comes to being tough on crime and making sure that

00:28:38.280 serious and repeat offenders pay for what they do what makes him different we've had past conservative

00:28:43.320 leaders leading up to the election saying all the right things but then right around election time

00:28:47.960 the elections decided by the time you cross that toronto voting line and sometimes we see a last

00:28:52.440 minute pivot why do you think pierre polio is different i think anybody who has met pierre or has

00:28:57.880 followed him or has really spent a lot of time hearing his message he never waivers for message

00:29:03.880 he has resolved he's committed i've i've heard him speak at least a dozen times and i've never left

00:29:11.480 any session where he's been at thinking okay this guy well let me just rephrase that every time i've

00:29:18.440 heard him speak it's he's convinced me more than ever that he is he's gonna walk the talk and by scanning

00:29:24.760 the shipping containers and securing the borders to keep illegal drugs and guns from coming in and stolen

00:29:32.120 cars from going out all while all while we protect your right to hunt and sports shoot with your

00:29:41.800 lawfully acquired firearms axe the tax build the homes fix the budget and stop the crime when i say bring

00:29:53.160 it home i mean bring home powerful paychecks by repatriating our industry and supporting canadian

00:30:00.920 oil and gas yeah and i think the the number one thing is to listen and to meet and have those

00:30:07.960 open discussions again we just haven't seen that we've seen the federal government trying to go

00:30:11.720 around behind the provincial government's back all the time and just having those open discussions up

00:30:16.280 front and dealing with alberta directly i think that'll be the biggest thing right off the start i'm a

00:30:20.840 i'm a simple police officer but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that you can't just print

00:30:27.000 money and that's certainly what this this federal government has been doing and this is why you're

00:30:31.640 seeing costs go up this is why you're seeing inflation go up this is why you're seeing people

00:30:36.360 struggling on a daily basis and you know certainly as a province we're doing what we can but the

00:30:43.160 federal government especially the federal liberal government needs to take responsibility here and

00:30:47.160 quite frankly for them to survive they're going to need to change their policies final question for you

00:30:52.200 if you don't mind what is one thing you'd like to see peer poly do right away as prime minister to

00:30:57.400 benefit western canada alberta help heal those relations because clearly they're not healthy right

00:31:01.560 now get jagmeet singh to pull his support stop uh putting his pension ahead of canadian interest

00:31:09.320 that's what we can we're going to keep on pressuring to do so that we can call a carbon tax election

00:31:14.520 so that canadians can decide whether they want to keep this scam of a carbon tax or they want a common

00:31:19.640 sense conservative government that will axe attacks build the homes fix the budget and stop the crime

00:31:24.280 and bring home common sense to this country once again none of this would have been a problem if we

00:31:29.160 had a strong conservative government led by prime minister pierr poly of in ottawa none of this would

00:31:33.960 be a problem the trudeau singh ndp liberal coalition are obsessed with dividing canadians on every metric

00:31:41.800 by region by demography by workers against business owners by by religion by language they are focused

00:31:48.360 on politics of division because they think that's their path to victory they're tearing this country

00:31:52.120 down and our plan is to unite the country for freedom to unite it on the basis of the rule of law and the

00:31:57.160 things that every canadian wants including the prosperity of alberta which is great for the country

00:32:00.920 of canada well one of the biggest things that i think we need to talk about is canadian unity right

00:32:06.040 the federal government currently today has been extremely divisive in terms of plotting one province

00:32:12.600 against another uh working uh in in various uh silos and whatnot we know that from our experience

00:32:20.360 recently with the carbon tax exemptions that only impact a very select certain set of canadians and

00:32:27.400 what we're saying here is that we need to make sure that the uh unity in this country is re-established

00:32:33.400 and whatnot i also want to see pierre uh hopefully as the new prime minister work on the issue of crime we

00:32:39.720 know what the issues are we know that every single province in the country is grappling with these

00:32:43.640 issues and we know what needs to be done and so this is not a very difficult formula to solve we've

00:32:48.600 given them the answers and it's just once again radio silence we're hoping that a new conservative

00:32:53.240 government will address those issues immediately so that we can turn the tide on crime in this province

00:32:59.720 i mean bringing home manufacturing forestry agriculture by clearing the red tape and the taxes so

00:33:06.920 that we can make stuff here in canada i mean a bring it home tax cut so that you bring more home of your

00:33:14.680 paycheck so that we lower the tax burden on work investment and making stuff that we simplify and

00:33:23.080 cut the bureaucracy and that we cut back on corporate welfare and tax overseas tax havens so that our

00:33:30.760 working poor pay less tax here at home this is the bring it home tax cut but bring it home 1.00

00:33:37.320 doesn't just mean that it also means the country we love the country we knew before justin trudeau

00:33:45.000 where we were united where we were proud where our flag flew at the top of the flagpole where everyone

00:33:51.640 was inspired to unite around what we had in common rather than to divide by all the many things that

00:34:01.880 separate us we need a government that unites our people around our common values common history common

00:34:12.440 sense the common sense of the common people united for our common home your home my home our home let's

00:34:22.440 let's bring it home

00:34:31.240 well a great deal of optimism folks believing that airport can exactly be a different leader a leader

00:34:36.760 that represents alberta at that table in ottawa a lot of support here quite evidently evidenced by the

00:34:43.640 fact that 18 000 breakfasts and counting were served at this stampede breakfast organizer saying that this

00:34:49.800 was something of a record for them so clearly a sentiment of strong support in calgary for

00:34:55.080 pierre paulieva as always i want to thank you all so much for tuning in for rebel news i'm adam sos

00:35:00.680 the common sense of the common people united for our common home your home my home our home let's bring it home
