00:01:32.400 in which we take a look back at some of the very best commentaries
00:01:36.020 from your favorite Rebels from this past week.
00:01:39.420 I'm your host, who's definitely not your usual host, David Menzies.
00:01:43.780 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and I continue to fill in for my friend David
00:01:47.280 as he takes a well-deserved break from the show.
00:01:50.820 But don't worry, he will be back.
00:01:52.980 Quebec is under the worst lockdown tyranny in all of the Western world.
00:01:57.220 Restrictions on gathering, restrictions on businesses, restrictions on churches.
00:02:01.200 They're closed.
00:02:02.300 And there's a curfew in place for regular, normal citizens
00:02:05.160 who are just trying to live their lives.
00:02:06.660 It's all to stem, so they say, the tide of the far less deadly Omicron variant of COVID.
00:02:13.840 And yet, the illegal border crossing at Roxham Road in Quebec remains wide open.
00:02:18.880 And brazen cab drivers from the United States are just dumping illegal migrants
00:02:23.140 at the Canadian border in exchange for $60.
00:02:25.700 But your grandma, she can't get back into the country after spending the winter in Mexico. 1.00
00:02:30.860 Alexa Lavoie joins us to tell us what she found on her latest trip to the Canadian southern border.
00:02:39.020 It's now international news and an international embarrassment for Ronald McDonald House Charity,
00:02:44.820 the charity that provides housing at no cost to families who have to travel
00:02:48.760 so that their children can receive life-saving treatment
00:02:51.780 while they've taken to evicting unvaccinated families.
00:02:55.780 Now, in the face of blowback, the charity now says they're relocating the suffering families
00:03:00.300 that they've already treated as plague rats.
00:03:02.960 There's more to the story.
00:03:03.900 Andrea Humphrey joins us tonight to talk about her interview with the family of a young boy
00:03:08.600 fighting leukemia that was evicted from the Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver.
00:03:14.140 And she tells us what you can do to send a message to the people who made the decision
00:03:17.820 to betray this family.
00:03:19.200 And then naturally, letters, letters, letters.
00:03:21.760 Oh boy, we get your letters all day, all night.
00:03:24.180 Letters, Facebook messages, YouTube comments, rumble comments and tweets.
00:03:27.960 We get them all.
00:03:29.280 And I'll read some of those tonight.
00:03:31.580 Well, friends, those are your rebels.
00:03:33.880 Let's round them up.
00:03:34.720 So we are back today in Roxanne Road because, as you know, here in Quebec, because Roxanne
00:03:49.460 Road is a part of the Quebec province, we just installed a new measure, new lockdown and
00:03:57.340 back to curfew to protect the health system, but as well to make sure the Omicron is not
00:04:05.140 spreading more than it is right now because our cases are rising really high.
00:04:12.440 So we will check if we still have illegal immigrants will pass here because if it's the case, nothing 1.00
00:04:24.120 makes sense anymore.
00:04:25.180 Why letting people enter Canada illegally without vaccination proof or PCR test negative when
00:04:36.560 we know that we'll shut everything down back for the health of the population?
00:04:43.860 Ben non, nous autres, on fait juste voir qu'est-ce qui se passe.
00:04:46.920 Absolument.
00:04:47.860 Est-ce que vous avez encore du monde qui rentre illégalement?
00:04:51.400 Illégalement?
00:04:51.980 Oui.
00:04:52.360 À tous les jours.
00:04:53.160 À tous les jours?
00:04:53.700 Oui.
00:04:54.160 Mais même avec...
00:04:54.820 Je vais juste vous demander de ne pas être trop dans le chemin, mais qu'il arrive,
00:04:58.920 puis vous allez pouvoir filmer d'ici, c'est pas un problème.
00:05:01.280 Trouvez pas ça spécial un peu qu'on permette encore du monde de rentrer illégalement?
00:05:05.740 Je n'ai pas d'opinion.
00:05:06.240 OK.
00:05:06.520 Avec un couvre-feu?
00:05:07.300 On a un bureau des communications à la GRC.
00:05:10.180 Si vous avez des questions, vous pouvez vous adresser à eux.
00:05:12.760 OK.
00:05:13.260 C'est bon?
00:05:13.780 Mais vous n'avez pas d'opinion, vous, en particulier?
00:05:16.380 Non.
00:05:17.180 Est-ce que vous leur demandez des tests PCR ou une preuve de vaccination?
00:05:21.200 Donc, il n'y a pas d'opinion sur ce sujet.
00:05:25.600 Si je veux poser des questions, je dois m'appeler à l'office RCMP.
00:05:31.940 Et ils disent qu'ils vont répondre à mes questions.
00:05:35.000 Donc, bonne chose.
00:05:37.140 Je vais m'appeler.
00:05:38.420 Pourquoi pas?
00:05:39.280 Je vais m'appeler pour vérifier ce qu'ils demandent des requêtes pour les gens qui viennent ici.
00:05:44.500 Bonjour.
00:05:45.720 Oui, bonjour.
00:05:47.820 Est-ce que je suis à la gendarmerie?
00:05:50.200 Oui, absolument.
00:05:51.200 En fait, je m'intéressais à savoir c'est quoi votre politique d'entrée pour la COVID pour les immigrants illégals. 0.84
00:05:59.240 Qu'est-ce que vous leur réclamez?
00:06:01.520 Qu'est-ce qu'on leur réclame?
00:06:02.860 Comme preuve.
00:06:05.540 Est-ce que vous demandez une preuve de vaccination?
00:06:07.780 Est-ce que vous leur demandez un test de PCR négatif?
00:06:11.340 Qu'est-ce que vous leur demandez?
00:06:13.500 Je ne pense pas être la personne pour répondre à ça, malheureusement.
00:06:16.820 Je pense que ça va plus être avec l'Agence des services frontaliers du Canada.
00:06:19.920 Parce qu'ils ont fait des...
00:06:21.840 J'ai vu certaines réponses qui ont circulé dans les derniers jours.
00:06:26.000 Je ne suis pas la première à nous poser la question.
00:06:28.100 Donc, comme tout processus de police normal, lorsqu'on ferait une arrestation, la personne n'a pas besoin de présenter de preuve vaccinale catastrophe arrêtée, évidemment.
00:06:37.720 Maintenant, pour ce qui est du traitement, des gens spécifiquement qui demandent l'asile à Roxham, c'est une fois qu'ils vont être avec l'ASFC que là, ça va être déterminé.
00:06:48.100 C'est pour ça que je vous encouragerais à les appeler eux autres, en fait.
00:06:51.040 Donc, le travail de la GRC, c'est de faire l'interception des gens qui rentrent de façon illégale ou irrégulière.
00:06:56.180 Une fois qu'on a fait notre enquête policière, s'il s'avère que ces personnes-là demandent l'asile, on les remet à l'ASFC et là, ils font leur demande auprès de l'ASFC.
00:07:06.000 Oh, sur le taxi marqué Rocks and Road Border.
00:07:19.960 Don't forget to bring the luggage, hein, because you can't go back.
00:07:25.000 Once you cross, it's over, you're not going back. 0.99
00:07:27.420 So bring the luggage.
00:07:29.340 Okay.
00:07:29.660 Oh, wow.
00:07:36.660 Oh, wow.
00:07:39.660 Oh, wow. 1.00
00:07:40.660 Fuck it, fuck it. 1.00
00:07:41.540 Fuck it. 1.00
00:07:43.660 Oh, wow. 1.00
00:07:44.660 Oh, wow.
00:07:46.660 I'm sorry, mister.
00:07:49.660 Are you like a private taxi for people crossing illegally in Rocks and Road?
00:07:56.660 Not just for Rocks and Road, but I am a private taxi, yes.
00:08:02.660 Yeah, because I saw like on your car that is riding for the border here for Rocks and Road. 0.68
00:08:09.660 Yeah, so when people get off the airplane or the bus, they can read it so they know where they're going.
00:08:18.660 Okay.
00:08:19.660 Do they have been trained before coming here to know like what to say?
00:08:25.660 Yeah, I just tell them when they get, like when they get here, they need to listen to these people, what they say, then they decide what they want to do on their own.
00:08:36.660 And do you know if they need to be, do you have a PCR test or vaccination proof or anything for coming here?
00:08:46.660 I'm not exactly sure what they need.
00:08:49.660 But when you pick up them, you don't ask for anything.
00:08:52.660 You just pick up and you bring them here.
00:08:54.660 Yep, they call me, yep, they call me and want to ride the Rocks and Road, so I pick them up.
00:08:59.660 Okay.
00:09:00.660 I'm the cheapest one.
00:09:02.660 I charge $60.
00:09:03.660 $60?
00:09:04.660 All the way from Plattsburgh.
00:09:06.660 Everybody else is between $70 and $90 and some overcharge.
00:09:09.660 Is it a good like business that you bring people here in Canada, like for Rocks and Road?
00:09:17.660 Is it like a thing that is really popular for taxi drivers?
00:09:22.660 Other taxi, like when the bus pulls in in Plattsburgh, there's a lot of taxis there waiting to see if anybody needs it.
00:09:28.660 To see if anybody needs to come here.
00:09:30.660 But I don't just come here.
00:09:31.660 I'll bring people all over.
00:09:32.660 I bring people.
00:09:33.660 I like to do long distance stuff.
00:09:35.660 Not just refugees. 0.92
00:09:36.660 Okay.
00:09:37.660 Yeah, yeah.
00:09:38.660 But if a refugee comes off and needs to ride here, I bring them. 1.00
00:09:41.660 Do you do it like often per day coming here?
00:09:45.660 Sometimes, like maybe once a day.
00:09:48.660 Okay.
00:09:49.660 Yep.
00:09:50.660 And do you know if you have a lot of people like coming here?
00:09:54.660 Like do you have like other people that you know that bring some people here every day?
00:09:59.660 Yeah.
00:10:00.660 Yeah?
00:10:01.660 They're cab drivers, yeah. 0.55
00:10:02.660 Yep.
00:10:03.660 So it's a common thing?
00:10:04.660 Yeah.
00:10:05.660 Okay.
00:10:06.660 From what I gathered, the people, like the main border, the legal ports, because there's American police, they just turn them around and send them back.
00:10:16.660 I don't understand.
00:10:17.660 Ah, it's because you have no American like officer. 0.89
00:10:21.660 Yeah.
00:10:22.660 That's what I understand.
00:10:23.660 Okay.
00:10:24.660 I don't exactly know.
00:10:25.660 I just, like I said, I try to, when they need a ride, they call me, I give them a ride, you know, and a lot of them I feel bad for.
00:10:33.660 I heard some of their stories, you know what I mean?
00:10:35.660 Yeah.
00:10:36.660 It's not their fault they're born there, you know.
00:10:38.660 It's very sad.
00:10:40.660 It's very sad.
00:10:41.660 Do you know which country they are coming from?
00:10:44.660 It's a lot.
00:10:45.660 Haiti, Nigeria, Africa, they're from Colombia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, all over, all over.
00:10:55.660 And they are most from bus or most from plane that's coming?
00:11:03.660 Both.
00:11:04.660 Both?
00:11:05.660 Yeah.
00:11:06.660 Ah, there you go.
00:11:09.660 I just heard the police tell, here we go, we have a man with a bracelet.
00:11:25.660 Which kind of bracelet we are talking about?
00:11:28.660 Um, is it a bracelet for criminal record?
00:11:32.660 We'll never know, but I just heard it from the police.
00:11:37.660 Yes.
00:11:38.660 And I just heard the question from the police to them, do you have a vaccination card?
00:11:47.660 And I just saw the woman say, no, she's not vaccinated.
00:11:54.660 Uh, we let people enter here and they will contribute to spread probably the virus when we have a health system that is collapsing and we put more measure for protecting it.
00:12:09.660 So we put more measure for protecting our health system.
00:12:15.660 We let them enter without vaccination or anything else.
00:12:20.660 Who is finished on this story?
00:12:22.660 It's all of us.
00:12:24.660 Well, millions of Quebec residents are currently being subject to unscientific curfews to stop the spread of the highly transmissible, but also way less severe, Omicron variant of COVID.
00:12:36.660 Yet, the illegal border crossing at Roxham Road remains open for arrivals.
00:12:41.660 While normal Canadians cannot board a plane or train to visit loved ones in other parts of one of the world's largest countries, at the end of a residential road in Quebec, cabs from upstate New York are taking cash to bring illegal migrants to Canada to be greeted by the RCMP before they step illegally across an international border.
00:13:02.660 And no one's doing anything about it, except for Alexa, our Quebec based reporter who has been shining a light on this issue.
00:13:11.660 Alexa, thanks so much for joining me.
00:13:13.660 I wanted to ask you, how long were you at Roxham Road this last time and how many taxis of migrants showed up in that short time?
00:13:23.660 I spent around maybe three hours or maybe around that, and I saw five taxis with family, like entire big family.
00:13:38.900 So I saw almost 40 or 30 people like crossing over that day.
00:13:46.900 And as well, we saw other luggage like being bring when we arrived, first of all, that day.
00:13:54.900 And I took the chance to intercept the taxi driver to ask him some questions that day.
00:14:03.900 And I was so surprised he answered all my questions perfectly.
00:14:08.900 And I was like, thank you to answer it to me.
00:14:11.900 But probably because he doesn't know what is that problem in Canada, the Roxham Road.
00:14:18.900 You know what?
00:14:20.900 You're so nice because you don't think that what he like, you don't think that he's being a bad person.
00:14:26.900 But when I saw that, I thought, how brazen is this guy in in another time?
00:14:33.900 This would be called human trafficking.
00:14:35.900 It's so brazen what he's doing that they call the taxi company Roxham Road.
00:14:40.900 And he told you we go to the airport.
00:14:43.900 They come out of the airport.
00:14:45.900 They see Roxham Road.
00:14:46.900 They know I'm the guy.
00:14:48.900 I take their money and then I dump them off at the Canadian border.
00:14:52.900 And he had the gall to say, well, I hear their stories and they're really sad.
00:14:59.900 OK, great.
00:15:00.900 Why aren't you doing something about it?
00:15:01.900 Why are you making it my problem?
00:15:03.900 Why are you taking them to the border and say, OK, off you go.
00:15:06.900 You're Canada's problem now.
00:15:08.900 Why isn't he doing something?
00:15:09.900 I guess I just I couldn't understand how brazen and shameless it all was.
00:15:15.900 It was just up front.
00:15:16.900 He's taking migrants to the border at the southern Mexican border.
00:15:20.900 They call these people coyotes.
00:15:22.900 They bring people from Mexico across the desert and dump them in Texas. 1.00
00:15:27.900 And it's a big problem and it's a huge crime.
00:15:30.900 But if it happens in fancy upstate New York, nobody seems to care.
00:15:33.900 No, because they know that Canada is always open.
00:15:37.900 Well, we are open for legal entrance.
00:15:40.900 Same if sometime.
00:15:42.900 Yeah, we receive a lot, a lot of people.
00:15:45.900 And we know that our health system is collapsing.
00:15:48.900 It's why Quebec put the curfew and some insanity like now the health tax and everything.
00:15:54.900 But we put that for the resident of the province of Quebec, where in the province of Quebec, we have a illegal port of entry where immigrants come and most of them test positive to come in.
00:16:10.900 We bring them in Montreal and we will impose some more measures to the residents of the province and a tax because because of them, they say that they cost a lot for the health system.
00:16:25.900 But what about them?
00:16:27.900 They would not probably pay the health tax.
00:16:31.900 They would not probably pay any services from our health system because we are taking care of them. 0.75
00:16:36.900 And now it's the resident of Quebec to pay the bill.
00:16:41.900 Not just pay the bill, but live with the consequences.
00:16:45.900 So, you know, residents of Quebec are basically subject to checkpoints and check stops and they have to show their papers.
00:16:54.900 And this happens to you when you're doing the lawful activity of reporting.
00:16:59.900 The police will come up and hassle you and tell you, even though you're out and about reporting for us, carrying a piece of paper that says, I'm Alexa Lavoie, I'm doing my job.
00:17:10.900 They'll still hassle you.
00:17:12.900 They still would very much like you to go home.
00:17:14.900 They tell you when you're reporting on mass arrests where you can stand in your own country on the street as a free woman to do the work of journalism. 0.99
00:17:25.900 And yet at the border where someone is arriving illegally by a guy who takes money, who makes a living trafficking people to the Canadian border.
00:17:37.900 And the RCMP say, come in with us.
00:17:40.900 Come stand in this warm building.
00:17:42.900 We'll get your we'll get you processed into the country. 1.00
00:17:45.900 Appalling the different treatment.
00:17:47.900 But what I don't understand why the U.S. don't do anything for that.
00:17:52.900 It's advertising that it's actually an illegal market like to bring people to the illegal portal entry.
00:18:01.900 And what the taxi drivers say, it's because they don't have RCMP from the U.S. border, because if it was the case, they would be turned back to U.S.
00:18:10.900 It's why they come to Roxanne Road and because they have been arrested in the side of Canada with the RCMP because I called there.
00:18:21.900 They say because they have been arrested.
00:18:23.900 We don't ask for anything like no proof of vaccination, nothing.
00:18:27.900 They don't need to prove anything to us because they are in under arrest.
00:18:31.900 So I was like, what's the point?
00:18:34.900 We have the the COVID that is spreading all over and all the citizens of Canada are paying the price of this illegal like activity that nobody seems caring.
00:18:49.900 But I know that Justin Trudeau say that they want to stop this activity, but it renew for five years the facility that is at the border.
00:19:01.900 Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
00:19:04.900 Do you know what they could do really quickly is just build a fence?
00:19:07.900 You know, that seems, you know, like you can just put up a fence and it would keep people out.
00:19:13.900 But that's not what they're doing.
00:19:14.900 They're leaving that hole in the road and making sure that there's permanent infrastructure there for at least the next five years.
00:19:21.900 That signals to the traffickers in upstate New York that for the next five years they can do brisk business bringing people to the Canadian border while Canadian grandparents who spend the winter in Florida or Mexico, they're having a tough time getting back into their own country where they're citizens because of Justin Trudeau's travel restrictions.
00:19:44.900 It's so unfair.
00:19:45.900 And especially who is these people who cross into Canada. 0.78
00:19:51.900 We don't have any record.
00:19:52.900 And when I was there, I was pretty lucky because it just happened when I was running to to the taxi.
00:20:00.900 I heard the police say, oh, here we go.
00:20:03.900 We have like a man with a bracelet at his ankle.
00:20:06.900 And I was like, what does this mean?
00:20:09.900 He claimed Asilam, you will like remove the bracelet and you will keep him in Canada.
00:20:15.900 What did he do?
00:20:16.900 What is his past?
00:20:17.900 Can we know who is this person that's crossed into our country?
00:20:22.900 We will never know because everything is so hiding from us.
00:20:26.900 Well, and one thing I thought was really remarkable from the taxi driver, you know, I appreciate how upfront he is as much as I disagree with what he was doing.
00:20:38.900 But he did try to justify what he was saying by what he was doing by saying, you know, they've got very sad stories.
00:20:44.900 I hear their stories.
00:20:45.900 Yeah, but those are just stories.
00:20:47.900 You know, as I saw these families coming across, I thought to myself, are those really families or are those children being trafficked across the border?
00:20:56.900 And this man is helping them.
00:20:58.900 How do we know if we don't know?
00:21:01.900 And so he could be facilitating the trafficking of children.
00:21:06.900 And he doesn't really know as long as he gets his 60 bucks at the airport.
00:21:10.900 And he patted himself on the back because he said other taxi drivers take more money.
00:21:14.900 So look at me.
00:21:15.900 I'm a good guy.
00:21:16.900 And especially because what he say, he say he trained a little bit them until they arrived to the border to say, you should say that you should stand there and don't forget your luggage.
00:21:29.900 And it's like you train them, you train them to to know how to act when you arrive there.
00:21:38.900 And when I call the RCMP officer, they say, oh, but they are under arrest.
00:21:43.900 And the one that claimed for asylum will bring them to another place.
00:21:49.900 And they have three lawyers from Canada to debate for themselves.
00:21:54.900 And I was like, but it's probably a hundred percent of the people who cross Roxanne road that claim asylum.
00:22:01.900 And he was like, I cannot confirm.
00:22:03.900 But yeah, probably.
00:22:04.900 Yes.
00:22:05.900 So and what I heard from the news, because I did call the immigration place and I did call the border place and both of them doesn't answer at all.
00:22:19.900 It's just an automatic record.
00:22:22.900 And they never came back to me.
00:22:24.900 They never.
00:22:25.900 The same like I tried to write to them, never had like any answer.
00:22:30.900 So the only place that was answering to me is the RCMP and most of the question they say, I'm not a good person to answer to you.
00:22:38.900 I cannot answer to this question.
00:22:40.900 I say why the RCMP at the border say to call you for answering my question if you are not able to answer anything of what I'm asking.
00:22:51.900 Yeah, I mean, it seems like there's such an easy common sense solution to this.
00:22:57.900 We've got taxis with their phone number on the side, trafficking people to the border.
00:23:03.900 Let's call those people, deal with that, maybe charge them.
00:23:06.900 But secondarily, let's just put a wall up.
00:23:10.900 I don't understand why they just don't put a wall up.
00:23:14.900 You can put a wall up for a lot cheaper than you can hire lawyers for every single person who walks.
00:23:19.900 I think you could put a wall up for a lot less money than hiring a lawyer for the taxi loads of people who came in just on the day that you were there.
00:23:28.900 Yeah. And what he said to me, every day he's coming to Roxanne Road and all his colleagues too.
00:23:33.900 So I asked, is it a good business for you to come to Roxanne Road?
00:23:39.900 And it seemed like to be pretty good money for them.
00:23:44.900 And you heard what he said, he said, oh, I'm the cheaper one.
00:23:48.900 And sometimes I got trouble because I charge less than all my other colleagues.
00:23:54.900 And I was like, you don't you don't see that for us is really a big problem.
00:23:58.900 And for now, your 60 bucks cost us probably a hundred times more to us just to make them enter in our country.
00:24:09.900 Yeah.
00:24:10.900 But it doesn't realize it, I think.
00:24:13.900 You know, that guy makes me want to show up at his door with my luggage and just say I'm coming in and I'm staying for a while.
00:24:20.900 You know, figure it out, you know, because I think that's what it has.
00:24:24.900 What sort of the context that it has to be put in for some of these people.
00:24:28.900 He didn't really seem to care as long as he got his 60 bucks and good.
00:24:32.900 And he, you know, he thought he was a nice guy because he didn't charge as much as his other people as his colleagues.
00:24:38.900 But at the same time, what what has this got to do with the taxpayers of Canada?
00:24:44.900 Why do we have to fix this problem?
00:24:46.900 Mm hmm.
00:24:47.900 And especially.
00:24:49.900 I'm not lying when I say it's about less than five minutes drive to go to their legal port of entry in both sides.
00:24:58.900 It's so close.
00:24:59.900 And what we were able to see is nothing go there to cross.
00:25:04.900 Nobody go there to cross.
00:25:06.900 It's it's all in rocks and roads.
00:25:08.900 And I was really.
00:25:09.900 It was really outrageous to see how many car that day.
00:25:13.900 Arrive in the same time.
00:25:16.900 At one point we had like three.
00:25:18.900 Yeah.
00:25:19.900 In the same time in front of me with like a lot of family and.
00:25:23.900 And the RCMP was like, do everybody speak French because I don't want to repeat. 1.00
00:25:29.900 And I was like, you will be under arrest if you cross here and you will not go back. 0.99
00:25:36.900 And I was like, OK, that's all they wanted to hear was you don't have to go back.
00:25:41.900 That's all I wanted to hear.
00:25:43.900 And you know what?
00:25:44.900 I don't I'm not against immigration.
00:25:46.900 I don't think you are either.
00:25:47.900 I just would really appreciate it if they did it the right way.
00:25:50.900 When someone breaks a law coming into my country, I don't think you respect our country.
00:25:55.900 It's just because I'm thinking about all these other migrants that are applying legally are waiting and they came in and they take their place. 1.00
00:26:06.900 Yeah.
00:26:07.900 Yeah.
00:26:08.900 And some people are waiting for years to come into Canada.
00:26:11.900 I'm just so sad for them because they decided to be right to do the right thing.
00:26:20.900 But at the end, it's not good for them.
00:26:24.900 No, no, some of the largest some of the loudest voices against illegal immigration are the people who came here legally, especially in the lower sort of mainland of Vancouver, where there's a high population of Chinese people.
00:26:44.900 Many of them came here legally and they were the ones raising the issue of people coming here to have a baby so that they could stay. 0.93
00:26:52.900 They were the ones that wanted that law change.
00:26:54.900 But if you or I mentioned it, we'd be a bunch of racists.
00:26:57.900 Alexa, sorry, go ahead.
00:26:59.900 You had something to say.
00:27:01.900 The other big issue is because they bring them to Place Dupree in Montreal and YMCA, where the Quebec homeless people had the shelter to stay.
00:27:13.900 But now they are back in the street to put these illegal immigrants there. 1.00
00:27:20.900 So we put one of our problems back to the street, our own citizens back to the street, to being able to make a place for them.
00:27:35.900 It's so sad.
00:27:36.900 And it doesn't have to be this way.
00:27:37.900 Like I said, just build a wall and the problem is solved.
00:27:40.900 And maybe arrest a couple of taxi drivers to send a message to the rest of them.
00:27:45.900 Alexa, tell us how people can find some of the work that you're doing on the lockdown issue in Quebec.
00:27:52.900 And more importantly, how they can support the work that you're doing.
00:27:55.900 Because I know you're out on the streets covering the lockdown and the curfew and you're at Roxham Road and you're the only journalist there.
00:28:03.900 It seems like it's a pretty important issue, both of these things.
00:28:06.900 You would think the mainstream media might be interested in it, but they are completely absent.
00:28:10.900 So how do people find the work that you're doing and support it?
00:28:14.900 I know that a lot of people like our job.
00:28:18.900 And seriously, sometimes I would need more manpower here in the ground.
00:28:23.900 So it's always appreciated when I have my colleague from Toronto that's coming to help us.
00:28:29.900 And so it's true that people can go to lockdownreport.com to help us to chip in and help me with all these travel expenses.
00:28:39.900 Because sometimes I'm really like at night, especially for covering the disobedience for a curfew.
00:28:45.900 Like tonight where I'm going to, I'm going to cover one that is two hours and a half from my home.
00:28:52.900 And since the beginning of the curfew, zero media mainstream did cover it.
00:29:00.900 As if it's normal to have a curfew in 2022 in Canada.
00:29:09.900 It's supposed to be normal, I think, because no mainstream went to industry to cover that.
00:29:15.900 And especially for Roxham Road, sometimes we have like a quick report from the mainstream,
00:29:21.900 but it disappeared after nobody talked about it afterwards.
00:29:24.900 So what's the point to show, okay, we have a problem, but reserve the problem.
00:29:29.900 Bring it like further more, further and do an investigation more deep on this.
00:29:35.900 But nobody doesn't care.
00:29:38.900 Well, the mainstream media doesn't care, but I do think Canadians care.
00:29:42.900 And I think they appreciate your work very much.
00:29:44.900 I know I do.
00:29:45.900 You're working night and day, you and the rest of the Quebec team.
00:29:48.900 And it is so much work.
00:29:49.900 You're covering the lockdown in one of Canada's largest provinces.
00:29:53.900 And you're doing more work than the rest of the media landscape in Quebec combined.
00:29:59.900 So thank you so much, Alexa.
00:30:01.900 Thank you.
00:30:02.900 Maybe you can get a little bit of rest this afternoon because I know you're headed back out again tonight.
00:30:05.900 Yeah, thank you.
00:30:07.900 Have a great day.
00:30:08.900 Thanks.
00:30:09.900 Thank you.
00:30:10.900 Thank you.
00:30:11.900 Thank you.
00:30:12.900 Thank you.
00:30:13.900 Thank you.
00:30:14.900 Thank you.
00:30:15.900 Thank you.
00:30:16.900 It's just pretty disturbing.
00:30:17.900 I'm just wondering if this is legit.
00:30:18.900 Is this saying that everybody is not vaccinated or getting evicted?
00:30:22.900 Well, we have a grace period to which you can get your free first dose.
00:30:27.900 Yeah.
00:30:28.900 But essentially as of January 17th.
00:30:29.900 It's a board mandate from our, from my group.
00:30:33.900 So I just want to get this straight.
00:30:34.900 So by the end of the month, my four year old boy with leukemia is getting evicted because we don't have a vaccine.
00:30:42.900 Like I'm reading comments that say, I'm ashamed to be a Canadian.
00:30:46.900 Like complete wickedness and just on and on and on.
00:30:49.900 Just these powerful, this is weeping of the community of like, how did they get this far?
00:30:54.900 And for them to just be like, you can just see how their consciences are dead because, because when I was talking to the manager, it's like, she's surprised that this isn't even happening.
00:31:05.900 It's like, what's the big deal?
00:31:06.900 It's just another vaccine passport. 0.58
00:31:07.900 It's just another thing.
00:31:09.900 We've been doing this for a while.
00:31:10.900 Haven't you gotten the memo?
00:31:11.900 Yesterday, a family reached out to me to tell me how they're being treated by the Ronald McDonald house behind me.
00:31:18.900 If you're not familiar with Ronald McDonald house, it does great work.
00:31:22.900 This is a 74 bed location where kids who are struggling and trying to survive with things like cancer and need treatment for that can come and live with their families.
00:31:33.900 This cuts back on the expenses and on the overall stress of going back and forth.
00:31:38.900 The family who you will see interviewed here would have to drive four hours at least to get treatment if something like this wasn't there for them.
00:31:49.900 Now here's where things go wrong.
00:31:52.900 The dehumanization we're seeing of people who are not yet vaccinated for a vaccine that has zero long term studies and the CEO of Pfizer, who is also a friend to the Ronald McDonald house, thanks to their large donation there.
00:32:08.900 Just said provides little if any protection if you have two or more.
00:32:13.900 And we know that the three, the two doses of the vaccine offer very limited protection, if any.
00:32:19.900 The three doses with a booster, they offer reasonable protection against hospitalization and deaths.
00:32:26.900 Against deaths, I think very good.
00:32:31.900 And less protection against the infection.
00:32:35.900 The policy which came out on January 10th here says that anybody who is not vaccinated will not be able to enter their building to visit a loved one.
00:32:44.900 And if they are a family member who's unvaccinated, whether or not it's a child five years or older or the adults, they will not be able to stay here. 0.89
00:32:55.900 That video you put up on Facebook has really tugged on the hearts of many people.
00:33:02.900 You reminded me that our paths crossed earlier when you asked for prayer about Jack and his situation.
00:33:08.900 So for people who are not familiar with Jack's story, why don't you tell us why, what brought you here to having to stay here?
00:33:15.900 Yeah, so our family, we rented out a log cabin out of D Lake in Lake Country.
00:33:21.900 We're from Kelowna.
00:33:23.900 And one day Jack's just like, carry me daddy, carry me daddy.
00:33:26.900 And I thought he must have like hurt his leg on a tree branch or something and tripped and sprained his ankle.
00:33:33.900 So we treated him for a sprained ankle for the first two weeks.
00:33:38.900 But he started to get lethargic and he wouldn't play with kids and it wasn't getting better.
00:33:42.900 And one day he had this depressed look in his eye I'd never seen.
00:33:45.900 So I, uh, me and Lindsay are like, okay, we got to take him to the hospital.
00:33:50.900 His foot's probably broken or something.
00:33:52.900 X-rays came back, not broken, went back to the hospital.
00:33:55.900 And then we got a call later that night saying, yeah, your son has leukemia.
00:33:59.900 You got to come down here right now.
00:34:01.900 And then basically they, uh, got an ambulance, put him in a stretcher and flew him out here.
00:34:06.900 Wow.
00:34:07.900 And so, you know, every parent's nightmare really.
00:34:10.900 And then how did you end up coming here?
00:34:12.900 My understanding is that some friends as well as your church, who, by the way, we will be
00:34:17.900 speaking with your pastor in this report as well, um, came together.
00:34:21.900 And then why did you need the services of Ronald McDonald house?
00:34:25.900 Yeah.
00:34:26.900 So the reason you need Ronald McDonald house here is one it's, you want to talk and do it?
00:34:32.900 You can say hi.
00:34:33.900 Okay.
00:34:34.900 But yeah.
00:34:35.900 So, um, the reason it's so necessary is because you have to go there all the time.
00:34:39.900 Like Lindsay, how often do you have to go there?
00:34:41.900 What'd you say?
00:34:42.900 Three times a week.
00:34:44.900 About two or three times a week.
00:34:46.900 Okay.
00:34:47.900 Yeah.
00:34:48.900 And you guys are from Kelowna.
00:34:49.900 For those of you who don't know, that's at least four hours away.
00:34:51.900 Right?
00:34:52.900 Yeah.
00:34:53.900 Everything all smashed up.
00:34:54.900 It was, it was brutal driving back and forth and stuff.
00:34:56.900 So yeah, being here, having a place this close like this is so necessary too, because I'm
00:35:03.900 going to be working here.
00:35:04.900 And you know, if I have to go to a job and she has to come here the same day and we got 0.98
00:35:09.900 one vehicle, it's like, how is that going to work?
00:35:12.900 You know what I mean?
00:35:13.900 So having a place close like this where she can just walk over is so important because
00:35:17.900 she needs to come here all the time. 1.00
00:35:19.900 And so how long have you been here and how long were you supposed to stay while Jack
00:35:24.400 was getting treatment?
00:35:25.400 Yeah.
00:35:26.400 So we've been here since, we've been here since October.
00:35:29.400 Okay.
00:35:30.400 Jack, you're going to get down.
00:35:31.400 Jack's getting down.
00:35:32.400 Do you want to sit in the chair?
00:35:35.400 Okay.
00:35:36.400 You okay?
00:35:37.400 Yeah.
00:35:38.400 So we've, we've been here since October and so however long it's been, you know,
00:35:44.400 three months.
00:35:45.400 So it's estimated if it's good news coming up that everything's going good, we'd be
00:35:50.900 here until June.
00:35:51.900 So this is a long time.
00:35:52.900 Like some people come in here and they've got like problems like you can't believe, but
00:35:56.900 they're in and out in like a month or two months and you tell, and they're just like,
00:35:59.900 this is so crazy and all this stuff.
00:36:00.900 And I tell them I've been going to be here for eight months.
00:36:03.900 Their jaw just drops.
00:36:04.900 That's a long time.
00:36:05.900 Like we moved in here.
00:36:06.900 I changed my mailing address here.
00:36:08.900 I changed it on my driver's license.
00:36:09.900 Like this was our home and we loved being here.
00:36:12.900 When I got here, like I took a video on my phone and put it on Facebook and I was going
00:36:18.000 down the slide in the foyer there and just, I'm like, this place is so amazing.
00:36:21.900 The staff's been so great doing arts and crafts.
00:36:24.400 We're getting involved culturally doing the things they do, like, like decorating your door
00:36:30.400 for the holidays or, or whatever.
00:36:32.400 Like this was like a family and a home to us.
00:36:36.400 Like, we don't hate anybody here.
00:36:38.400 I don't know where this law came from.
00:36:40.900 I don't know how many of the staff supported or what, but I think it's pretty obvious that
00:36:45.300 people are outraged about, you know, how evil it is that they're evicting a four-year-old
00:36:50.400 kid with leukemia over a vaccine with three weeks notice.
00:36:53.900 And I think it's a story that's really just impacted a lot of people, no matter what your
00:36:58.700 beliefs are, because everybody cares about sick kids.
00:37:03.400 Like everybody donates to this place and to the hospital.
00:37:06.400 It doesn't matter what your beliefs are or what country you're from or whatever.
00:37:08.900 Everybody wants sick kids to live. 0.90
00:37:11.400 And so I think there's been so much outrage around that.
00:37:13.900 I think there's outrage because, because it's not just a vaccine mandate for adults.
00:37:17.900 It's a vaccine mandate for kids.
00:37:19.900 So there's a lot of people here and people, you know, who are like, I got the vaccine, but
00:37:24.900 I don't want to give it to my kids.
00:37:25.900 So it hits a broad spectrum of people and we're getting evicted.
00:37:30.400 But in the future, like any unvaccinated kid is not going to be allowed to come here anymore. 0.94
00:37:35.400 Surely you would think there were exceptions to the absolutely uncompassionate discriminatory
00:37:40.400 vaccine mandates plaguing our society.
00:37:43.400 And surely you would think those exceptions would be for little kids who are fighting for
00:37:47.400 their lives against deadly illnesses.
00:37:49.400 That makes sense, right?
00:37:50.400 Well, that doesn't necessarily seem to be the case for at least one Ronald McDonald house
00:37:55.400 in Vancouver, where an eviction order was issued to the family of a four year old who's fighting
00:38:01.400 cancer.
00:38:02.400 Ronald McDonald house charities are part of a larger charity organization that accommodates
00:38:07.400 families with hospitalized children under the age of 21.
00:38:10.400 So they don't have to worry about the cost of accommodation when they travel for treatment.
00:38:14.400 But yet this family is out on the street.
00:38:17.400 Drea Humphrey spoke to the dad of that little four year old with leukemia to get the full story.
00:38:23.400 Now, they tell us, Drea, these vaccine mandates are so that we are compassionate towards our neighbors.
00:38:29.400 But this hardly seems like that.
00:38:30.400 So what's going on here?
00:38:32.400 Well, what's going on?
00:38:34.400 I certainly can't answer except for the fact that, you know, one of the things reporting
00:38:39.400 on the other side of the story with these restrictions and the overreach is you always
00:38:44.400 think, well, what's next?
00:38:45.400 Like, if this is happening, what's next?
00:38:47.400 I feel like this is the next.
00:38:49.400 Like, I don't want to know what goes on after this.
00:38:52.400 This has to kind of be the end of the road where we unify because this family, first of
00:38:57.400 all, isn't the only family that the policy affects.
00:39:00.400 It's for anyone unvaccinated age five and up in a charity that helps children, sick children.
00:39:09.400 It's actually a very normal thing for children to be delayed if they're getting cancer treatment
00:39:15.400 for vaccinations to be delayed.
00:39:17.400 So there's that.
00:39:18.400 But then there's the whole, you know, maybe the parents have their own reason that they
00:39:22.400 can't get it, which is the example of the interview here.
00:39:25.400 There's reasons they have chosen not to get the vaccine.
00:39:28.400 And so now they're out on the streets.
00:39:31.400 Yeah, it really doesn't make any sense.
00:39:33.400 And to say these people are anti modern medicine because they are rejecting this vaccine.
00:39:39.400 That's clearly not true.
00:39:40.400 They're relying on modern medicine to save their child's life.
00:39:44.400 It's just this one thing that they're just pumping the brakes on.
00:39:48.400 And for that, up until people got wind of what happening, they were basically going to be out on the street.
00:39:54.400 Exactly.
00:39:55.400 And that's something that really needs to be clarified.
00:39:58.400 You see a lot of the news reports sort of, I guess, trusting the spin that I would say Ronald McDonald House is doing.
00:40:06.400 That policy, which we have shown in the report, said absolutely nothing about accommodating them.
00:40:13.400 So here you are a parent.
00:40:14.400 You got the worst nightmare.
00:40:15.400 You find out your child has leukemia.
00:40:18.400 You're dealing with that.
00:40:19.400 You get to this place of refuge, which, by the way, little Jack loves.
00:40:23.400 He loves living there and staying there.
00:40:25.400 And they're supposed to stay there till June.
00:40:27.400 So this isn't just a two week, one month thing.
00:40:30.400 And they've already been there for a while.
00:40:32.400 So imagine you're dealing with all that.
00:40:34.400 You get to this place where you can breathe, this sense of normalcy, and you get this document that says that.
00:40:38.400 Since that policy went out and since there was viral outrage, international levels, that is when only after that did Ronald McDonald House make it clear now that they intend to help relocate these families.
00:40:58.400 So, but I think that's getting lost on a lot of the new reports.
00:41:04.400 They're saying things like, here's why, or they're relocating.
00:41:08.400 And it's like, no, they put that family through that stress.
00:41:11.400 And again, this is their home.
00:41:14.400 And it's never easy to be suddenly ripped from your home less than 30 days notice, especially when it's a home that your child with leukemia loves.
00:41:24.400 Yeah, it looks like Ronald McDonald House is doing their best to save face because they were not relocating them up until this was basically an international bear trap they put their foot into.
00:41:38.400 And the community, people who see this, they've really rallied around this family.
00:41:46.400 Their GoFundMe has basically exploded because people like me, I don't know what to do except send a journalist to tell the story.
00:41:56.400 But there are other people who just say, I don't know what to do to express my disgust for what I see.
00:42:02.400 Here's five bucks, let me help. 0.97
00:42:04.400 And I think there's a lot of that happening.
00:42:06.400 I think it's so good.
00:42:07.400 That was their original GoFundMe for when they just needed help, you know, with treatment.
00:42:12.400 And you're right, it just keeps climbing and climbing.
00:42:14.400 I think it's also a sign of the times.
00:42:16.400 I think the silent majority is done being silent.
00:42:19.400 And there, you know, examples like this show just how far we've fallen morally in this country.
00:42:26.400 And people can get behind this, you know, so eagerly and so boldly.
00:42:31.400 And we're seeing that with the GoFundMe as well.
00:42:33.400 And we're not just telling this story journalistically.
00:42:36.400 We are actually advocating for this family to be able to stay.
00:42:40.400 That would be the best decision for little Jack.
00:42:42.400 And there are other measures that Ronald McDonald House could take.
00:42:46.400 According to the father, they don't do regular testing.
00:42:50.400 In fact, they do a good job of cleaning and everything like that.
00:42:54.400 But, I mean, there hasn't been a, hey, make sure you socially distance conversation with them or anything like that.
00:43:01.400 So there are measures that they could have taken.
00:43:03.400 So what we are doing is asking people to go to letthemstay.ca.
00:43:08.400 I think this is very important because the backpedaling, the wishy-washy, oh, actually we were going to help them anyways.
00:43:15.400 That's not good enough.
00:43:16.400 This is a dangerous precedent to inconvenience sick children battling cancer in their families when you could take other measures.
00:43:26.400 So if you go to letthemstay.ca, that's a petition to let them and the other families that apparently this is affecting be able to stay where they want to stay,
00:43:35.400 where they're loving staying, and it also prompts you really quickly if you'd like to do an email to the CEO so that, you know, they know you're watching.
00:43:44.400 You're watching closely about what they're going to do and how they're going to handle this situation.
00:43:48.400 You know, I think that last piece that you mentioned there is so important.
00:43:52.400 Send a message to the CEO because it sounds like this was a local decision.
00:43:57.400 This isn't necessarily happening at all Ronald McDonald houses.
00:44:01.400 This was a local decision, and not only should you let your dollars do the talking, but we are giving people an opportunity to send a message directly to the people who made this decision at letthemstay.ca.
00:44:14.400 And you're so right.
00:44:16.400 We need to nip this in the bud right now because there are other families that are probably watching this with horror saying, well, I'm in a Ronald McDonald house in Edmonton.
00:44:27.400 When are they going to evict me and my child?
00:44:30.400 So we need to, this might be a message to this CEO, but let it be a message to all of them that we will not stand for treating families who are, this is literally any parent's worst nightmare.
00:44:43.400 This is the hardest thing this family will ever go through.
00:44:46.400 And they have been told that they can rely on this children's charity to help them get through part of it.
00:44:52.400 And then the rug was ripped out from underneath them.
00:44:54.400 Yeah, it's completely dehumanizing.
00:44:56.400 I will throw in there, I suppose it's not totally surprising, but apparently Australia, a Ronald McDonald house there is also doing the same thing.
00:45:05.400 Um, so we'll update on that and, and it's just important that, uh, people look at the report too, because you get to hear a full, um, you know, interview with the family.
00:45:15.400 I'm seeing snippets of, of what they said going up in other reports.
00:45:19.400 And so it's nice to actually hear their side of the story, um, rather than the narrative that's going out.
00:45:25.400 No, and, and one last thing, we're not calling for a boycott, a boycott, excuse me, of Ronald McDonald's children's charities.
00:45:32.400 Absolutely not.
00:45:33.400 We, we think they do good work and they do help families when they need it, but we want them to maintain their mandate to help all the families they promised to help.
00:45:44.400 We want them to keep their word.
00:45:46.400 So we're not encouraging people to boycott donations to Ronald McDonald's children's charities.
00:45:51.400 We don't want that to happen.
00:45:52.400 Um, but we do want to give you the ability to help Ronald McDonald house right the ship.
00:45:59.400 Mm hmm.
00:46:00.400 Absolutely.
00:46:01.400 And again, one more time, Drea, before I let you go, how do people do that?
00:46:05.400 Well, you can go to let them stay.ca fill out the petition quickly.
00:46:11.400 I mean, it couldn't be any more easier.
00:46:13.400 A minute of your life, uh, fill in the prompt to send the email and then share to as many people as possible to shed light on this.
00:46:21.400 Drea, thank you so much for running out there as quickly as the story was breaking to get the family's full story on the record.
00:46:28.400 It's so important to talk to people instead of about them.
00:46:32.400 The mainstream media does that.
00:46:33.400 We're not going to do that, but also giving our viewers a chance to support this family and let their voices be heard.
00:46:39.400 So thank you so much for that.
00:46:41.400 Thanks for having me.
00:46:42.400 So, you, you're going to stop them.
00:46:46.400 We'll stop them for immediately.
00:46:47.400 We'll signify a statement.
00:46:48.400 After that, if they want to come to you, they'll see.
00:46:49.400 Otherwise, they'll be stopped.
00:46:50.400 Okay.
00:46:51.400 Okay.
00:46:52.400 Okay.
00:46:53.400 Okay.
00:46:54.400 Because you know that in Montreal, there's no one who's been stopped.
00:46:56.400 Yes, it's Quebec.
00:46:57.400 Oh, it doesn't work the same way?
00:46:59.400 Yes.
00:47:00.400 Okay.
00:47:01.400 Because you know that in Montreal, there's no one who's been stopped.
00:47:04.400 Yes, it's Quebec, ma'am.
00:47:05.400 Oh, it doesn't work the same way?
00:47:06.400 Yes, ma'am.
00:47:07.400 Ah.
00:47:08.400 It doesn't work the same way?
00:47:09.400 I can't comment on how Montreal works.
00:47:11.400 I'll tell you how it works.
00:47:12.400 Okay.
00:47:13.400 Hello.
00:47:14.400 Hello.
00:47:15.400 Well, I'm media.
00:47:16.400 It doesn't matter.
00:47:17.400 Well, it doesn't matter.
00:47:18.400 It doesn't matter.
00:47:19.400 It doesn't matter.
00:47:20.400 Yes, but I have my paper.
00:47:21.400 Ask me my paper.
00:47:22.400 You don't have the right to touch me in this moment.
00:47:24.400 Just go with me.
00:47:25.400 No.
00:47:26.400 We're there.
00:47:27.400 Okay.
00:47:28.400 I heard the CBC has closed the comment section for so many of their stories.
00:47:46.400 I guess the good news is given CBC's viewership numbers, no one will even notice.
00:47:51.400 But not us here at Rebel News.
00:47:53.400 We welcome your viewer feedback.
00:47:54.400 So let's take a look at some of it.
00:47:56.400 On Rumble regarding Alexa's video about being stopped and harassed by police for reporting
00:48:01.400 on the curfew.
00:48:02.400 Tigerheart writes, Alexa, one of Canada's bravest reporters.
00:48:07.400 She's like a wolverine facing a bear and won't back down. 0.94
00:48:10.400 Gotta love her. 0.89
00:48:11.400 Yeah, the fact that Alexa is even out covering the curfew should tell this gomer pile Quebec 0.96
00:48:17.400 police force that she isn't some easily intimidated mainstream media journalist since those people 1.00
00:48:22.400 aren't ever out there covering the real stories that matter.
00:48:25.400 But Alexa has also stared down the most powerful man in the country, Justin Trudeau, and she
00:48:30.400 put hard questions to him that he refused to answer.
00:48:34.400 She's not scared and not easily bullied, and we are so proud of her work.
00:48:39.400 Throughout the years, the Canadian Security Intelligence Services ceases, and other national
00:48:46.400 security apparatus have actually warned the government of Canada, Canadian, that Canada
00:48:52.400 is subject to foreign interference, be that from People's Republic of China, but also Russia
00:48:58.400 and Iran, et cetera, foreign powers.
00:49:02.400 And that is why this act, not specifying, not specifically aiming against certain country,
00:49:09.400 it's, in my perspective, from my point of view, it's so much needed.
00:49:15.400 Because we need that to bring it down from under the table to above the table.
00:49:20.400 As somebody infamous said, you know, sunlight is the best disinfectant of things.
00:49:27.400 Transparency will help media such as yourself to hold government to account, to hold people
00:49:32.400 to account, officials to account.
00:49:34.400 That is why I want to introduce this.
00:49:37.400 Even though, according to the House of Commons rules, there is very little chance that this
00:49:42.400 will see the night of day in the House of Commons because of the ranking.
00:49:48.400 On Drea's interview with former Conservative MP Kenny Chu on how China targeted his campaign
00:49:54.400 with propaganda efforts that led in part to his loss in the last election,
00:49:58.400 Canadiangirl777 on Rumble writes,
00:50:01.400 Thanks for the fantastic investigative journalism, Drea.
00:50:05.400 What a wonderful man Kenny Chu is.
00:50:07.400 A great example of a freedom-loving, ethical, intelligent person that Canada should welcome.
00:50:12.400 He loves Canada and only wants to save our way of life, rights and freedoms.
00:50:17.400 He's an important whistleblower.
00:50:18.400 We should not let this story go unresolved.
00:50:21.400 Yeah, the same Canadian media who won't shut up about a repeatedly debunked Russia collusion
00:50:28.400 hoax in the United States are truly ignoring real Chinese meddling in the Canadian election.
00:50:33.400 Why?
00:50:34.400 Because the end justifies the means.
00:50:37.400 It's okay if China meddles as long as Trudeau, their paymaster, wins. 0.72
00:50:40.400 And while the mainstream media likes to write off any criticism of the Chinese government
00:50:44.400 as anti-Chinese racism, much of the criticism about China's foreign influence on our politics
00:50:50.400 comes from Chinese expats who did their best to get away from Chinese communism.
00:50:55.400 But the media, they don't let facts get in the way of a good accusation.
00:50:59.400 As an official guest of the Canadian delegation to India, he brought with him a Kalistani terrorist. 1.00
00:51:04.400 A man named Jaspal Atwal, an Indo-Canadian businessman convicted of attempted murder
00:51:09.400 for his role in the 1986 attempted assassination of a Punjab government minister.
00:51:15.400 A Kalistani sympathizer, a member of a now-banned militant group, that's who Trudeau brought with him. 0.74
00:51:22.400 Imagine how the Indians felt.
00:51:24.400 It caused a public relations crisis for Trudeau, but having a terrorist on the trip wasn't the most serious thing
00:51:31.400 that prompted a police investigation that caused the Canadian delegation to get the Indian police on the case.
00:51:37.400 The real crime was someone stealing Trudeau's chocolates, three cans of pop and some sparkling water.
00:51:43.400 The Delhi police were mobilized to deal with this shocking crime.
00:51:48.400 Here's the internal email.
00:51:49.400 This is from one government bureaucrat to another, and the Canadian forces are cc'd on this
00:51:55.400 since they are the people in charge of the Challenger jet fleet.
00:51:59.400 Catering issue.
00:52:01.400 Christine, as per our conversation, and after speaking to MS Elena Champagne, lead flight steward,
00:52:09.400 she informed me of the following.
00:52:11.400 After verifying the catering order that was inspected by Delhi police at the catering company,
00:52:16.400 she made the following observations.
00:52:18.400 Missing out of all of the food trays was the little chocolate that was supposed to be in every tray.
00:52:24.400 All chocolate boxes were opened, and about a handful were missing in each box.
00:52:30.400 One third of the Toblerone bars were missing from their box.
00:52:35.400 Three cans of pop was taken from each of the makes of pop and Perrier.
00:52:41.400 I have cc'd the lead flight steward and the MC on this email.
00:52:47.400 Martin Rivard, Warrant Officer, Travel Officer, Canadian Forces Air Marshal Detail.
00:52:52.400 This is an air marshal called in to deal with the stolen chocolates.
00:52:57.400 And the Delhi police!
00:52:59.400 Now, on my story about Trudeau not being bothered about taking a convicted anti-India terrorist on his trip with him to India,
00:53:06.400 while also calling the cops when his Toblerones were stolen in Delhi stuck in Toronto 1776 on rumble rights,
00:53:14.400 he needs to be taxed for his high sugar and drug alcohol consumption.
00:53:19.400 You know, good point.
00:53:21.400 I don't make the rules.
00:53:22.400 Quebec is bringing in a sin tax on the unvaccinated because of their alleged burden on the healthcare system. 1.00
00:53:28.400 But diabetes and high blood pressure are among the top comorbidities predicting bad outcomes for those who catch COVID, unvaccinated or otherwise.
00:53:37.400 Politician, tax thyself.
00:53:40.400 Well, everyone, that's the show for tonight.
00:53:42.400 Thanks for all the kind words you've been sending me over the past few weeks about David.
00:53:45.400 I've been passing them along and I want to let you know he appreciates them so much.
00:53:50.400 Thanks to everybody for tuning in.
00:53:51.400 Thanks to our team in Toronto for putting the show together.
00:53:54.400 And as David Menzies always says, without risk, there can be no glory.
