00:01:14.340 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,

00:01:32.620 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels.

00:01:37.480 I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:01:39.200 Well, Tamara Ugolini tried to ask some questions of Liberal MP Anita Anand. 0.99

00:01:46.060 And the result?

00:01:47.060 Well, Anita ran away, and then a big red blob of a man impeded Tamara from getting into the venue. 1.00

00:01:53.060 Tamara will drop by to give us a quick update on transparency,

00:01:57.660 Liberal Party of Canada style, on the 2021 campaign trail.

00:02:02.480 And wow, it's like deja vu all over again.

00:02:06.200 Proving that the liberals don't have a monopoly on cowardice when confronting members of the independent press,

00:02:12.380 Alexa Lavoie asked Bloc Québécois leader Mr. Blanchet two questions.

00:02:18.420 He admitted they were good questions, but he refused to answer them.

00:02:23.020 Why?

00:02:23.340 Well, evidently, it is BQ policy not to answer questions from Rebel News.

00:02:30.060 Alexa will have all the unbelievable details. 0.96

00:02:33.440 And letters, we get your letters.

00:02:34.720 We get them every minute of every day.

00:02:36.320 And you had plenty to say about the Uber Karen mayor of Norfolk County 1.00

00:02:41.120 who declared Port Dover's famous Friday the 13th biker gathering as a non-event.

00:02:48.900 The reason?

00:02:49.760 Well, COVID, of course.

00:02:51.360 But guess what?

00:02:52.040 Thousands of bikers ignored her proclamation and congregated at Port Dover nevertheless.

00:02:58.420 Hey, was there ever any doubt?

00:03:01.180 Those are your rebels now.

00:03:02.540 Let's round them up.

00:03:11.400 Email last night from the Liberal Party that showed that you are for open and transparency.

00:03:17.020 And you actually, the wording in there was that you facilitate media coverage.

00:03:20.600 So you're not allowing us as independent journalists into this event?

00:03:24.140 You're not invited to this event.

00:03:25.140 I'm sorry.

00:03:26.140 And the event, was it an invite-only event?

00:03:28.860 This is an event that you're not invited to.

00:03:30.560 Minister Anand, I have a question for you.

00:03:47.620 The Liberals are campaigning on openness and transparency, and I face barriers to get here as a woman trying to work.

00:03:53.840 Will you give me five minutes of your chime?

00:03:55.180 I'm Tamara Ugolini with Rebel News, and earlier today I was physically prevented from attending a schmoozy cocktail lunch with a Liberal cabinet minister priced at $500 a ticket because I'm not affiliated with state-funded media.

00:04:11.220 This obvious campaign stop, or rather fundraising event, was taking place at the Mill Restaurant and Pub in Cobourg, Ontario.

00:04:21.080 It featured recently elected Liberal MPD Alison Lester and Minister of Public Services and Procurement Anita Anand.

00:04:28.420 See, I had received an email informing me of this event.

00:04:32.560 At the bottom of it, it outlined how committed the Liberal Party is to openness and transparency at their fundraising events, including, apparently, facilitating media coverage.

00:04:44.340 That's right, they don't just welcome it, they actually facilitate it, or so they allege.

00:04:50.620 Because I responded to the media contact asking where at the Mill the event would take place, in terms of whether it would be hosted indoors or outdoors, and at the same time I asked for any other relevant media information.

00:05:03.560 But I didn't think anything of them not responding, and so when I arrived early to the luncheon, I went to the entrance of the event where I was met by Liberal campaign gatekeeper Ben Smith.

00:05:17.180 The party of Canada doesn't recognize you as a media source.

00:05:20.020 I received the email last night from the Liberal Party that showed that you are for open and transparency, and you actually, the wording in there was that you facilitate media coverage, so you're not allowing us as independent journalists into this event?

00:05:32.580 You're not invited to this event, I'm sorry.

00:05:34.680 And the event, was it an invite-only event?

00:05:37.520 This is an event that you're not invited to.

00:05:39.860 And why is that?

00:05:40.940 I was told you're not invited.

00:05:43.060 Okay, I'm a local resident here in Northumberland County, I'm also an independent journalist, these are public servants, the Liberal Party stands for openness and transparency, is that correct?

00:05:55.620 I was told you're not invited to this event.

00:05:57.180 Well, there you have it, Tamara Ugolini is persona non grata at a Liberal Party of Canada event, but when it comes to getting an answer from that blob barricading the entrance, there are no answers forthcoming, and that, my friends, speaks volumes.

00:06:18.000 And joining me now to discuss yet another snub of a rebel reporter on the 2021 campaign trail is indeed Tamara Ugolini.

00:06:26.300 How are you doing there, Tamara?

00:06:28.760 Hey, David, I'm doing well, thanks.

00:06:30.640 How are things over there?

00:06:31.960 Everything is just great.

00:06:34.120 Tamara, I've got to tell you, the optics look so brutal on that video, not for you, my friend, but for the Liberals.

00:06:40.940 Anita Nadd jumps out of her Cadillac coupe and literally runs to the venue, while that jabroni makes like a defensive lineman in the NFL to keep you from following her. 1.00

00:06:52.440 Where is this transparency and openness we keep hearing the Liberals bragging about?

00:07:01.300 Well, that was the exact question that I had for Anita Nadd, and also, as you saw, this Ben Smith character who was the Liberal gatekeeper for their event.

00:07:12.580 It doesn't look very open and or transparent, if you ask me.

00:07:16.500 But you know what?

00:07:18.160 This speaks to the quality of the candidate, I think, Tamara. 0.99

00:07:22.820 If she had stout with you and just engaged in a civil conversation, maybe she doesn't like you.

00:07:28.980 Maybe she doesn't like your politics.

00:07:31.100 Maybe she doesn't like rebel news.

00:07:33.140 So what?

00:07:34.180 Isn't she strong enough on her own policies and principles to have a discussion with you to basically politely tell you why you're wrong and she's right?

00:07:43.460 But no, she runs for the hills.

00:07:47.020 Right.

00:07:47.600 And it was funny because we didn't mention it in the in the report itself.

00:07:50.800 But when Catherine and I were staked out front of the mill restaurant and pub for over an hour, we actually saw what appeared to be the attendees on the inside facilitated by Alison Lester, the MP here in Northumberland, Peterborough South.

00:08:07.480 She was actually giving details on how exactly Anita could pull in and pull right up to that entrance to intentionally evade us. 0.99

00:08:17.280 And as soon as they caught wind that we were kind of watching and listening, they immediately skirted away, scurried away and went to another part where we weren't able to see them.

00:08:27.260 But the whole thing, I mean, like I said before, that I kind of figured something like this would happen.

00:08:35.260 I mean, it's it's very common for rebel reporters to be ousted by these bureaucrats.

00:08:42.980 But when it happens to you on the scene and you're being respectful and you're asking just one question, it's very disheartening and pretty surreal, actually.

00:08:54.400 I still can't really believe it, even if it's something to say from Anita and Nan.

00:08:59.820 You know, I'm at this event.

00:09:01.960 We're not taking media questions.

00:09:03.960 I'd be happy to touch base with you at X, Y and Z.

00:09:07.860 I mean, how hard is that?

00:09:09.180 Oh, exactly, Tamara.

00:09:11.200 And too bad liberal policies aren't as solid as the, I guess, getaway or get into the venue plan that they hatched, which was successful in blocking you.

00:09:24.840 I mean, it was almost comical.

00:09:26.160 I'm going off on a bit of tangent here, but she's in a Cadillac CTS coupe.

00:09:30.540 I don't know if you noticed whether or not it was the V series, which means it's the it's over 500 horsepower under that hood.

00:09:37.420 And what I couldn't help but notice about that is that these are the liberals that are all about climate change and carbon taxes and going green.

00:09:48.000 And she's showing up in the event in a hot rod. 1.00

00:09:50.620 It was reminiscent of Elizabeth May a while back in a Dodge Viper, no less. 0.99

00:09:57.180 I mean, they're not even just a hypocrisy of what they say and how they act is staggering to me, Tamara.

00:10:05.880 Absolutely.

00:10:08.060 And I can echo that sentiment when I covered the Justin Trudeau campaign stop in Coburg on Monday night where he showed up in this huge decked out bus, two buses, one for Justin Trudeau and one for his media cheerleaders.

00:10:23.080 I mean, and I'm thinking to myself so much for net zero with your two huge campaign buses and they just offload on off of these buses like it's nothing.

00:10:35.080 And you know that they're not solar powered.

00:10:37.440 Oh, 100 percent.

00:10:39.320 I saw those two buses at the Berry event.

00:10:42.720 Plus, let's not forget the seven suburban SUVs that the Mounties are driving around in.

00:10:49.760 A bit of a big carbon footprint there, I should think.

00:10:53.180 I think somewhere Climate Barbie weeps.

00:10:55.740 But, you know, getting back to the issue at hand, not just for you, Tamara, but for all of us here at Rebel News, is this the new normal when it comes to doing media scrums that candidates will only give interviews to those people they like, to those people whose politics they like?

00:11:17.800 Because to me, that's very cowardly.

00:11:20.020 Absolutely. I agree. And it begs the question that if you're only speaking to people who agree with you, then how can we uphold the idea of having democracy and scrutiny when you're an elected public official and whether or not you want to engage with only those who agree with you?

00:11:39.660 There's going to be people who don't agree with you. And as a politician, you have to represent everyone, not just those select few who are within your echo chamber.

00:11:50.520 And that's where we get dissent and that's where we get reasonable debate.

00:11:54.100 And that's where we can come up with policy that actually makes sense for everyone, not just one small demographic of individuals.

00:12:02.840 And, you know, Tamara, I can't help but think of President Donald Trump when he would have pressers at the White House, and some of which would go for more than an hour.

00:12:12.360 And he would deliberately take questions from those members of the media that absolutely despised him, such as Jim Acosta.

00:12:20.540 I think he actually had sport with it. He enjoyed the back and forth debate.

00:12:25.140 But here in Canada, I think we, you know, of every political stripe, it seems, we have just too many cowards out there that are triggered by tough questions, tough, albeit fair questions.

00:12:38.860 And like I said, that's not the kind of leader I want to cast my ballot towards.

00:12:46.040 Absolutely. And I think that goes back to when you're comfortable and confident in the policies and your rationale for making the decisions

00:12:53.860 that you're making as a politician or an elected official, then you should be able to have that back and forth.

00:12:59.940 And you should be able to justify and refute or provide a rebuttal to naysayers.

00:13:06.280 And that just doesn't seem to be happening on all levels of government.

00:13:10.660 And from especially what we've seen with the COVID narrative are these public health officials who come up with all these rules and regulations.

00:13:18.900 And then when they're questioned or the validity comes under scrutiny, they have no leg to stand on.

00:13:26.300 So I think that's really important here as we approach the federal election is making sure that these politicians have a leg to stand on

00:13:33.000 and they can back up what they're saying with facts and confidence.

00:13:38.440 Because skirting media, I mean, like you said in the beginning, it's embarrassing and it's really surreal that that's where we're at with Canadian politics.

00:13:48.920 Although, let's be fair, they don't skirt all media.

00:13:52.000 You reference the media bus that follows the Justin Trudeau bus, which are almost identical-looking buses.

00:13:59.280 For the government-approved and funded media, oh yeah, they have time to shoot the breeze with them.

00:14:05.240 But then again, as our boss, Ezra Levent, likes to say, the media watchdogs have become lapdogs under this regime.

00:14:14.180 And shame on them as well.

00:14:16.460 In any event, Tamara, great report.

00:14:19.020 And you have a wonderful weekend in Coburg.

00:14:21.540 By the way, is the beach open there?

00:14:23.020 Can you get on that beach without getting arrested?

00:14:27.480 The beach is open now seven days a week.

00:14:30.380 I believe it's from 7 or 8 a.m. until 11 p.m.

00:14:34.080 So there is a COVID cutoff there.

00:14:36.480 And the fencing will remain, I don't know, until sometime in the fall anyway.

00:14:41.300 Because in case of an emergency, they need to be able to shutter that beach quickly.

00:14:45.800 Oh, the madness never ends.

00:14:48.200 Well, you go out and get some rays and enjoy the nice warm lake while you can.

00:14:53.320 And thanks once again, Tamara.

00:14:56.620 Thanks, David.

00:14:57.480 All the best.

00:14:57.980 And that was Tamara Ugolini in Coburg.

00:15:01.700 Keep it here, folks.

00:15:03.100 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:15:04.980 So I went to the headquarter of Medicago because today, the leader of the Bloc Québécois, Yves-François Blanchet,

00:15:21.380 went there to discuss about the drug production and research in Quebec.

00:15:27.460 So let's see if he really want to answer to my question.

00:15:32.680 We're going to pass to the last question in presence with Rebel News.

00:15:40.560 Yes, hello.

00:15:41.620 My name is Alexa for Rebel News.

00:15:43.700 In fact, my question today, it's to know your position in terms of the vaccine's passport

00:15:49.000 at the federal level but also at the provincial level.

00:15:50.960 Because we know very well that in Quebec, the measure should be in place until the 1st September

00:15:56.480 and that the rights of certain people will be brimed in terms of the placement and

00:16:05.900 places of pleasure for certain people.

00:16:08.140 And also in terms of the federal level, we know that in terms of transportation and trains,

00:16:14.620 this right also will be brimed.

00:16:15.860 What is your position in terms of that?

00:16:18.120 You m'envoyez sincerely, because even though your question is reasonable, I maintain

00:16:22.700 the policy of not answering the questions of Rebel News.

00:16:24.800 And what is your position?

00:16:26.800 What is your position?

00:16:27.800 Pardon?

00:16:28.800 What is your position?

00:16:29.800 Pardon?

00:16:30.800 What is your position?

00:16:31.800 What is your position?

00:16:32.800 In fact, I would also like to know what was your position in terms of the liberal level

00:16:37.800 to encourage the internet censure?

00:16:41.800 Again, I regret to tell you that I will continue to not answer the questions of Rebel News.

00:16:47.800 So they refused to answer the question of Rebel News.

00:16:55.940 You just saw it straight up.

00:16:57.480 I asked two simple questions, really fair enough about the vaccine passport at federal and provincial

00:17:06.380 and about the censorship and federal, about the internet, and they refused both of my questions.

00:17:14.520 So it's simple.

00:17:17.060 People who refuse to answer to my question are in the side of the government right now.

00:17:25.200 So they choose who has the answer, who can ask the question.

00:17:31.340 And this is actually a censorship of which media can have the answer or not.

00:17:40.880 So I would never have my answer because they don't want to answer to me.

00:17:44.980 Well, unlike so many liberals who are just downright rude in dealing with certain members of the independent media,

00:17:52.520 I will give points to Mr. Blanchet for at least being polite and complimentary

00:17:57.100 when it came to giving a Rebel News reporter the bums rush.

00:18:01.240 Oh, don't get me wrong, folks. 1.00

00:18:03.120 This guy is a coward, to be sure. 1.00

00:18:06.260 It's just that he's a very cordial coward indeed. 0.99

00:18:10.200 And joining me now with more on this story is our Quebec-based reporter, Alexa Lavoie.

00:18:16.180 Bonjour, Alexa.

00:18:18.400 Bonjour.

00:18:18.720 So, Alexa, that was really something to see.

00:18:24.300 And also the Bloc Quebecois leader actually making mention that this is policy for him

00:18:34.700 not to respond to questions from a Rebel News reporter.

00:18:39.140 Gee, Alexa, who wrote this policy and what's the reason for this policy?

00:18:43.740 I think it's probably something that he made up because I don't understand that it can be really a policy.

00:18:54.540 Is it from Justin Trudeau or maybe like the government right now?

00:19:00.920 But I did talk with other leaders of other parties and they did accept to answer my question, but not him.

00:19:11.180 You know, it's amazing.

00:19:13.140 It's like he's embodying cancel culture. 0.94

00:19:17.060 He's a one-man cancel culture machine.

00:19:19.980 And what I don't understand, Alexa, is where is the debate here?

00:19:25.260 Why is he so scared to take you on?

00:19:28.440 I remember back in the days when I was at Ryerson, you could have debates on the most contentious issues,

00:19:34.600 capital punishment, gun control, abortion.

00:19:37.880 And after the debate, you'd go to the pub and, you know, have a beer.

00:19:41.360 And now it's like I find you or your politics or your question offensive.

00:19:46.620 So I'm not going to answer it.

00:19:48.280 And this guy wants to be a leader.

00:19:49.940 Yeah, so that surprised me so much because I came to see the girl and I said, I have a question.

00:20:00.260 So I asked my question and he said that it was a legitimate question, but he said that he would not answer to revenues.

00:20:09.460 So I took the opportunity to another question, but I had the same answer.

00:20:15.380 And when I came after him, like following him on his bus, his bodyguard stopped me, kind of.

00:20:24.800 I was like, are you scared of me or are you scared of rebel?

00:20:29.040 I'm not sure I understand because I'm not as ugly as that. 0.93

00:20:33.460 Oh, unbelievable.

00:20:34.680 You know, so really, Alexa, the policy of so many of these leaders in this 2021 election campaign,

00:20:43.980 it's that I'm only going to respond to your questions if I like you or like your politics. 0.80

00:20:50.920 That's pathetic in my book. 0.67

00:20:52.760 But it's why I say to him, like, you are in, you're running for electoral campaign. 0.69

00:21:00.780 You should answer to anybody who asks you a question.

00:21:04.700 That is democracy.

00:21:06.560 That is supposed to be on what we live right now.

00:21:10.380 But now you decide from who you take the question and you know that the question would be easy for you to answer.

00:21:21.360 That's a problem.

00:21:22.260 Oh, it's incredible.

00:21:24.580 By the way, Alexa, a bit of a tangent here, but how is the Bloc Quebecois polling right now?

00:21:30.640 I always find Quebec to be an absolutely fascinating province when it comes to elections,

00:21:36.180 because I think Quebecers are very fickle people. 1.00

00:21:39.500 On one hand, you get the orange wave.

00:21:41.920 Then you get the Bloc Quebecois winning so many seats in 2019 that nobody saw coming.

00:21:48.460 How are they trending these days?

00:21:50.740 Is there going to be a surprise coming out of Quebec again?

00:21:53.120 So, you need to understand our word Quebec.

00:21:58.420 Quebec always believed that they were different than the rest of Canada, because we speak French.

00:22:05.880 A lot of people don't really speak English, so we grow in a different world than the rest of Canada.

00:22:16.020 So, our information doesn't come out from outside.

00:22:21.960 We took it from the mainstream media, because we never had nothing else to take our information in French.

00:22:28.960 So, people believe what they saw in the TV, they believe on mainstream media, they believe on what they say.

00:22:37.900 But now the mainstream media doesn't act like just showing candidates.

00:22:44.400 They show what they want you to see.

00:22:47.040 So, that imprints the choice of people.

00:22:51.460 So, Alexa, how do you feel in your heart in terms of the Bloc Quebecois?

00:22:56.020 Do you think they're going to do as well as they did in 2019?

00:22:58.960 Do you think they're going to do as well as they did in 2019, this time around?

00:23:02.400 So, I'm not for really Bloc Quebecois, because for a long time, they wanted Quebec to be a country.

00:23:13.300 But we know that Quebec cannot be separate from the rest of Canada, because we will just die by the death.

00:23:21.000 And so, maybe they will do good, because they are the only party from Quebec.

00:23:28.960 Quebec, really, but we have Max and Bernie, that is from both.

00:23:32.560 But most of the other leaders are not from Quebec.

00:23:36.160 So, we are a kind of people that we will support, people that come from our place.

00:23:42.040 It's something that we always saw in Quebec.

00:23:46.380 But I, that is something, I'd say, that he was against the VAC's passport.

00:24:00.840 And so, that did influence, like, some people that I know.

00:24:06.240 But I was like, okay, maybe he did say that, because he is now running for the campaign, and we know that a lot of Canadians are against it.

00:24:15.000 Is it, like, a tactical, or it's really what it means?

00:24:18.200 Indeed, and, well, I'll tell you one last question, Alexa.

00:24:22.180 I think regardless of politics, if I was a Quebecer, and I was watching that press conference,

00:24:27.820 and I see the leader of a political party too afraid, too cowardly, to answer questions,

00:24:35.880 legitimately good questions, which he himself admits, from an independent news journalist,

00:24:42.000 that's not a positive vibe I'm getting. 0.99

00:24:44.260 I'm thinking, this guy's a coward. 0.99

00:24:46.300 He can't even, you know, honestly answer questions. 0.97

00:24:50.300 Do you see things changing during the campaign, or every time you run into this individual,

00:24:56.600 is he going to do the Sergeant Schultz, I know nothing, I see nothing routine?

00:25:01.460 But I think what he did, it's because it got viral, a lot of people did wrong to me.

00:25:09.780 I think that will turn really bad to him, because he refused to answer a independent media,

00:25:19.420 and when you run for a campaign, you should be able to answer to anybody.

00:25:24.680 Like, everybody that asks you a question, you should answer.

00:25:27.520 So I think that will turn against him, but it is hope.

00:25:35.340 He should have answered my question, as any other leader.

00:25:39.460 Yeah, I totally agree.

00:25:41.220 It was not a good look, and the shame is all on him in this case.

00:25:45.700 Alexa, it was a wonderful report.

00:25:47.360 Thanks for trying.

00:25:49.600 Maybe if you get another chance to scrum him, we'll see if he changes his tune.

00:25:53.660 Not that I'm very hopeful.

00:25:54.760 So thank you so much, and you have a good weekend, my friend.

00:25:58.080 Thank you.

00:25:59.120 You too.

00:26:00.100 Thank you.

00:26:00.740 And that was Alexa Lavoie in Quebec. 0.92

00:26:03.980 Keep it here, folks.

00:26:04.800 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:26:07.320 The mayor of Norfolk County has declared this a non-event.

00:26:16.720 She doesn't want you coming here because of COVID.

00:26:20.520 What do you make of that? 1.00

00:26:22.660 Ah, stupid decision. 1.00

00:26:24.440 If I look at all the people that are here. 1.00

00:26:26.620 It looks like an event.

00:26:27.520 Yeah, it looks like an event to me, and a happy event, too.

00:26:30.040 Okay, so money talks and bikers walk?

00:26:33.120 I believe so, yeah.

00:26:35.000 Well, bikers don't listen anyway. 1.00

00:26:37.680 Well, fancy that.

00:26:40.460 Thousands of freedom-loving bikers ignored the proclamation by Mayor Chop that the Friday the 13th gathering was a non-event.

00:26:50.020 Shockers.

00:26:51.180 In any event, you had plenty to say about yet another COVID-caren politician trying to be a party pooper when it comes to an event that is so beloved by the common man, all in the name of Wuhan virus safety protocols, of course.

00:27:06.380 Josie Simmons writes, nothing like seeing a crowd of healthy people enjoying life.

00:27:12.900 CP-24 didn't scare them.

00:27:15.540 Yes, Josie, imagine that, not listening to Mayor Chop nor being influenced by the scare stream media.

00:27:23.860 Being in Port Dover last Friday was like taking a time machine back to 2019, you know, when things were normal.

00:27:32.200 Kaylin Royson writes, taking on bikers.

00:27:35.340 Yep, that'll work.

00:27:36.900 Indeed, Kaylin, freedom is a big part of biker culture and to think these folks would cower into compliance because some mealy-mouthed mayor arbitrarily declared their gathering a non-event.

00:27:50.120 What an epic fail by Mayor Chop. 0.98

00:27:53.020 In Darkness writes, Canadians hand Mayor Crystal Chop a map of Canada so she can check just what damn country she is living in. 1.00

00:28:02.400 Not a bad idea in Darkness, but then again, perhaps Mayor Chop is one of those elitists who actually dismisses the very idea of Canada. 0.80

00:28:10.740 Remember how Climate Barbie's house husband, Scott Gilmore, wrote in a column in McLean's a few years ago entitled,

00:28:17.960 Canada is not a country?

00:28:19.760 Yeah, Canada is not a country.

00:28:23.060 But Gilmore's wife gets paid very nicely by this non-nation as a cabinet minister. 0.98

00:28:28.640 And Gilmore himself also gets a paycheck via Ottawa as McLean's is subsidized by your tax dollars.

00:28:37.960 But Canada is not a country.

00:28:39.900 Give me a break.

00:28:40.780 Michael Bourne writes,

00:28:43.160 It's the happiness that's blocking the rally.

00:28:45.920 Only the elite globalists are allowed to enjoy some fun.

00:28:50.040 You know, you have a good point there, Michael.

00:28:52.120 Didn't all the COVID rules go out the window for Barack Obama's birthday party?

00:28:57.320 And how about those multi-millionaire Blue Jays qualifying for a so-called national interest exemption

00:29:03.680 so they can play baseball games out of Skydome again?

00:29:07.280 Yet again, one law for thee, one law for me.

00:29:11.620 And Gary Francis writes,

00:29:13.120 Obviously, Mayor Chop has not heard the story of King Canute and the...
