Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ Trudeau and Disinformation; Catherine McKenna's Chauffeur Bills

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,

00:00:03.680 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels.

00:00:09.160 I'm your host, David Menzies. Well, folks, have you heard about what's happening south of the

00:00:13.720 border? Homeland Security wants to establish something called a disinformation board. 0.79

00:00:21.080 Does that sound, you know, kind of Orwellian to you? Oh, you better believe it's Orwellian.

00:00:26.780 And Andrew Chapados will drop by to dish out all the nitty gritty on this latest form of potential

00:00:34.640 censorship. And hey, guess which former Liberal MP racked up more than $150,000 in chauffeuring costs

00:00:45.540 in just four years? Well, it was none other than Climate Barbie, a.k.a. Catherine McKenna. But wait

00:00:52.000 a second. Didn't she tell us that she got around in the summertime via bicycle and that she got to

00:00:59.340 work in the wintertime via snowshoe? Sheila Gunn-Reed has the skinny on yet more climate change

00:01:08.340 hypocrisy, courtesy of the usual suspects, of course. And letters. We get your letters. We get your

00:01:14.240 letters every minute of every day. And I'll share some of your responses about my brief interview with

00:01:20.620 no more comments lady at an Ottawa counter-protest. Yeah, she didn't seem to know what it was that she

00:01:29.300 was counter-protesting, if that makes sense. Baffling and weird. Those are your rebels. Now let's round them

00:01:38.260 up. As you guys know, the new sector in Canada is in crisis. And this contributes to the heightened

00:01:55.980 public mistrust and the rise of harmful disinformation in our society. Hey guys, Andrew

00:02:02.120 here. We're at the Yorkville Royal Sinesta waiting for Justin Trudeau to arrive. We want to ask him

00:02:06.660 about the disinformation board, the Department of Homeland Security developed in the United

00:02:11.440 States. And if he agrees with that, we'll see if we can get a question in. So today we're just

00:02:15.520 asking people about, they just started a disinformation governance board in the United

00:02:19.320 States government. So the government's going to determine what's disinformation online. Would

00:02:23.760 you support something like that in Canada? It's scary. I understand what they're doing,

00:02:28.860 but it's scary to give them a power to do that. How do you feel about that? I feel the same way. I don't

00:02:33.920 want the government telling me what's disinformation or not. I don't trust them, to be honest, quite

00:02:39.060 frankly. A disinformation board? Is that out of, I don't know, 1984 or perhaps Animal Farm? It sounds

00:02:47.160 like an Aurelian nightmare to me. What next? The Ministry of Truth, that's responsible for propaganda,

00:02:54.300 of course, and the Ministry of Love. That's where you go to get tortured to death. Unbelievable. 0.85

00:03:00.920 Well, thankfully, we had Andrew Chapados doing streeters on that. And I say thankfully because

00:03:07.820 it seems to me, Andrew, the good news is that almost everybody was not happy about a Canadianized 0.99

00:03:18.480 version of a disinformation board. And it reminds me of the streeters I did a few weeks ago with Elon

00:03:25.700 Musk getting Twitter, the vast majority of people at Young Dundas Square in uber-liberal downtown

00:03:31.920 Toronto. Thumbs up in terms of free speech. My first question is, do you think maybe the pendulum

00:03:39.720 is swinging that people are waking up that so many of their charter rights and freedoms are being

00:03:46.500 eclipsed? I think in a less broad sense, people are waking up to the fact that they don't want to be

00:03:51.500 told what they can listen to or watch because then it seems that something nefarious is going on.

00:03:56.780 As soon as I tell you, you can't watch that, then obviously you're automatically going to say,

00:04:01.100 I want to watch that. If you're talking to a kid that can't watch South Park or something,

00:04:04.660 the kid's going to wonder, why can't I? What's on that? What am I missing here? So the way people

00:04:08.960 are sort of told that they can't talk about certain things online when there are plenty of other

00:04:13.400 websites that exist where you can talk online, for example. And as you know, 10 years ago,

00:04:18.120 maybe it was a much broader option to find a place where you could say anything you wanted.

00:04:22.760 I think people are starting to realize that there are ways that both sides can censor people. And

00:04:28.680 if you've got Elon Musk in charge and you're starting to think about what if he likes Trump

00:04:32.640 or something like that, or he supports other things, what's going to happen to me? And now

00:04:36.380 they're starting to see the shoe on the other foot. And that's why I think people are starting

00:04:38.980 to notice that it's not a good idea to be able to tell people what they can say. Because there's

00:04:43.120 probably a lot of people who have disagreed with stuff like whether it's men and women's

00:04:47.180 sports or something teaching transgenderism to kids. There's some sort of topic that they've

00:04:52.080 seen that has been taken out of the public sphere and they disagree with it.

00:04:55.960 And you know, Andrew, you're so true. That is human nature. Once you tell somebody you can't do this,

00:05:00.120 you can't say this, guess what? They're going to do it or say it. It reminds me years ago for Rebel

00:05:04.940 News, I went down to Garland, Texas to cover the Draw Muhammad contest. And it was a $10,000 US first

00:05:11.780 prize. Did you win? No, I did submit it. I did submit an illustration. Actually, I can't draw

00:05:18.900 worth anything, folks. But it was an artist who wants to remain anonymous. Gee, I wonder why. But

00:05:25.260 you know, the winning cartoon was an artist drawing Muhammad and a voice bubble coming out of Muhammad's

00:05:32.940 mouth saying, you can't draw me. And the voice bubble coming from the artist off the panel saying,

00:05:40.500 that's why I draw you. So in other words, once you say you don't do it, people automatically are

00:05:47.040 going to do it. Now, that's a severe interpretation of a religious tenant. Now we have government

00:05:55.760 getting into this ban too. But the thing is, we have to analyze this along the lines of what is the

00:06:03.980 definition of misinformation to begin with. Well, of course, there is no real misinformation

00:06:09.460 definition in terms of what is and what isn't. I believe the difference between disinformation and

00:06:15.080 misinformation is whether or not you're giving false information on purpose. Now, if the government,

00:06:20.200 and like I said in these treaters, if the government's going to decide, or Twitter and Facebook,

00:06:24.720 which they already do decide what's true and what's not, then it's all going to depend on who's in

00:06:29.160 charge of that. So the question I positioned people is, would you agree if it was Justin Trudeau? Or

00:06:34.780 would you agree if it's Donald Trump? Because obviously, those are going to be biases that swing

00:06:38.460 in different directions. And like I said, I think people are starting to realize that you can't trust

00:06:42.720 one person to decide what's true and what's not for you. It's sort of something you have to come to

00:06:47.900 a conclusion for yourself. And that's why people watch certain shows, they listen to different

00:06:52.680 podcasts, because you might want to believe or agree with or listen to Joe Rogan's opinions and see

00:06:57.880 that as your truth. Or you might want to listen to Rebel Roundup with David Menzies and have that be

00:07:03.360 your truth and have your whole life about Star Trek and Planet of the Apes. I didn't know I was so

00:07:09.420 pigeonholed into those sectors of culture. You are now. But you know, Andrew, I find this terrifying.

00:07:14.940 As you mentioned, this is a one person decider, if you want, whether it's one person or a small

00:07:20.940 star chamber panel. The idea that these people are making decisions on what is appropriate

00:07:27.580 or not when it comes to free speech, free thought, there's a Latin saying that translates into

00:07:34.940 English, who watches the watchers? In other words, how the hell would one person or a small group of

00:07:42.840 people have this kind of power to determine what's appropriate? Well, they don't. And that's

00:07:48.200 exactly the problem with, I think, specifically our Canadian political parties. You look at a party like

00:07:53.880 the Canadian Conservative Party or even the people you most lovely interacted with recently at the PC

00:08:00.360 party. They have their own little group thing going on there where they think what is appropriate

00:08:05.680 is based on, you know, what would be allowed on Facebook, for example, or what's boosted onto YouTube.

00:08:11.000 So they have these people, I don't know what you want to call them, being the gatekeepers of these

00:08:16.700 events because of what, you know, like 20 people on Facebook might say about Rebel News. So when you

00:08:21.920 get people pushing these ideas, then you have their little foot soldiers that will carry it out for

00:08:27.280 them. And this is going to happen every single time you've got one group of people deciding what's

00:08:31.760 true and what's not allowed for other people. You have people that will say, no, that I disagree

00:08:36.000 with this. You'll have people in the middle who say, I don't care either way. But you'll always have

00:08:39.500 the people who, you know, for lack of a very modern term for you here, David Manzi, simping for them,

00:08:45.000 which means just, you know, sucking up to them and doing whatever they please. And why? Because they want to be

00:08:49.960 accepted. You see it in the media when they want to be part of, you know, the Ottawa Press Gallery.

00:08:54.220 And you're seeing it now with the Ontario Conservative Party because they want to, there's

00:08:58.920 always this chase of, I want to get the people who won't ever vote for me. And it's a detached

00:09:04.080 theory that conservatives have had for a long time. And in this country, it still rings true.

00:09:09.740 They desperately, desperately want the people who want them in jail to be on their side.

00:09:13.340 And you're never going to get it. And when people are telling you what to believe and what to think,

00:09:17.660 you're never going to be able to think for yourself. And that's why I don't think they watch David

00:09:21.620 Manzi's. I don't think they actually watch and think about the ideas that are being criticized.

00:09:24.880 They just say, this is what other people are saying is not allowed. So we're going to say it's not allowed

00:09:28.920 to. You know, I got to tell you, Andrew, one of the comments by a gentleman you interviewed on the

00:09:34.980 street last Friday, and I think he's way off, but his quote was, there needs to be private public

00:09:43.560 collaboration. And I would argue this, unofficially, there already is. You have government, along with

00:09:50.080 the censorious thugs who make up Silicon Valley, walking in lockstep when it comes to discussing

00:09:57.480 too hot to handle topics like election fraud, like the coronavirus. And I mean, it's something,

00:10:05.780 it's fascinating to me because this is something Orwell could never have envisioned,

00:10:11.120 given that 1984 was written in 1948. There was no such thing as the internet or computers.

00:10:18.680 But I think it's downright scary that, as I said, you've got government and the tech giants

00:10:24.700 walking in lockstep unofficially to curtail our freedoms and rights. And to think that this is coming

00:10:32.720 out of the United States of America, the land of the First Amendment, it's unbelievable.

00:10:38.020 Well, David, that was a guy who thought he sounded smarter than he really is. Oh, if it's a public

00:10:45.040 and governmental collaboration, there can be no wrong, and we'll just have to keep a close eye on

00:10:50.040 it. And there will be no bias, and there'll be no backdoor deals and everything. We already see

00:10:55.160 this happening, like you said, in Silicon Valley, mainstream media, they all get in line with the

00:10:59.840 businesses and the government officials that agree with them. So the only way to do it is have it open

00:11:04.560 in the free market, which is why they have to rig the system. This is why YouTube and Facebook have

00:11:09.320 to rig the system, because without that, they can't win. And they know that they can't win.

00:11:13.260 That's why they're so against Elon Musk making Twitter a bit more fair, because they know they

00:11:17.140 can't win, because once their actual arguments come to light, they're going to lose. That's the

00:11:21.860 same thing with this guy. He just, you know, wordsmithed his way through the interview until

00:11:25.340 it was over. If I say government and public collaboration, then I'm pleasing both sides now,

00:11:29.780 aren't I, David? No, you're absolutely right. And we see it not working in the here and now.

00:11:35.640 One last question, Andrew. What are the chances that this is actually going to become a thing,

00:11:42.240 the establishment in the United States of a disinformation port?

00:11:46.400 Well, the issue with the United States is that they have an actual constitution, whereas we have

00:11:51.360 one that's just like, well, this is dangerous, so no more rights for you guys. I think that the

00:11:56.420 idea there is much like the idea that they had in the United Kingdom, which was they had online

00:12:02.160 incident reports. And Louis Brackpool from the UK talks about this a lot, where you weren't in

00:12:07.220 trouble, you weren't committing any crimes, but the government put your name on a list if you did

00:12:11.960 something that somebody didn't like online, and they came and paid you a visit. Now, they were forced

00:12:16.580 to scrap that list, whether it happened or not. But this is a way for the government to further down

00:12:21.500 the line and say, hey, we already have a list of people that might be dissidents and might be saying

00:12:26.680 things we disagree with right now online. And we don't have the right to do anything to them right

00:12:31.900 now. But let's say in five years, if we've still got somebody in the Biden crew in charge, then maybe

00:12:37.120 we're going to go a step further and maybe we'll amend something that will allow us to actually punish

00:12:41.660 these people. But for right now, I think that if you actually get this challenged and somebody

00:12:47.020 tries from the Department of Homeland Security tries to find or arrest you for this, then you're

00:12:52.860 going to be able to challenge that. But that'll only be after they detain you for six days or

00:12:56.460 something, David, and make an example out of you and say, hey, you went into the Capitol on January

00:13:01.740 6th. You're in solitary confinement for two months. You may not have committed a major crime in what you

00:13:07.040 did. You may not get fined for anything at the end of the day, but we're still able to detain you

00:13:10.920 because the Department of Homeland Security was given these rights somewhat like 20 years ago.

00:13:15.140 I'm boosting. I'm brimming at the edges, David, here with knowledge. I'm giving you the greatest

00:13:20.600 talking points you could ever find in this country, and I'm glad to be here.

00:13:24.320 No. Well done, Andrew. And I got to tell you, too bad you didn't get to shout a question at

00:13:30.320 Justin Trudeau. That coward probably saw the Rebel News mic flash and he went in through some other 0.96

00:13:36.840 subterranean. 0.93

00:13:37.560 Yeah, I don't think they had ever. I think they might have done that. But the RCMP is so sad,

00:13:44.180 David. As soon as I walked up, you could point them out. Seven o'clock, some guys are wearing

00:13:47.920 sunglasses. There's no sun out.

00:13:49.480 Yeah.

00:13:49.660 And they immediately come out and they say, oh, you guys aren't going to cause any trouble,

00:13:53.360 are you? Are you not going to run inside, are you? I don't think that made it on the

00:13:56.560 tape just yet because I don't think Natasha's camera was rolling at the time. But multiple

00:14:01.060 RCMP officers came up to us and asked us if we were going to be a problem, if we were going

00:14:04.680 to go inside. And it was so sad to see them be like, this is where the arrival is happening.

00:14:08.760 You guys can stand right here when he walks in. And I was like, I know he's not coming

00:14:12.540 in here. Nobody's waiting for him. There's no point. And how about the fact that, David,

00:14:17.800 nobody knew the prime minister was showing up there and nobody cared?

00:14:22.280 Unbelievable. And you know what, folks, what Andrew just said, imagine that somebody from 1.00

00:14:26.780 the Royal Canadian Mounted Police saying, you're not going to cause any trouble. Oh, like

00:14:30.920 what? Practicing journalism, shouting a question from a public sidewalk. But I'm very happy that

00:14:35.860 my colleague last Friday, unlike myself, last December, wasn't beaten up by these Royal 0.98

00:14:42.660 Canadian Mounted henchmen and infected with COVID. And yeah, we have our first day in court

00:14:48.800 coming up about that one come September 7th, I believe. Folks, keep it here. More of Rebel

00:14:55.700 Roundup to come right after this.

00:14:57.580 You know, I actually gave them some real advice. I said that if you actually say it louder,

00:15:05.620 we've learned in the House of Commons, if you repeat it, if you say it louder, if that is

00:15:09.040 your talking point, people will totally believe it. So just go in. I actually carry my cutlery.

00:15:14.640 You can now get little packages of reusable cutlery. So I have steel forks and spoons and chopsticks

00:15:22.080 that I carry around. It just means I pull them out all the time. I don't need to use

00:15:28.280 single-use plastic cutlery. I also carry a water bottle and a coffee mug whenever I can.

00:15:34.140 So what you're telling Canadians here, they will be asked to pay a $50 carbon tax, probably

00:15:39.480 increasing over time. And there is absolutely no measurement of what the environmental effect

00:15:44.680 will be. Climate warrior Catherine McKenna spent $100,000 on her executive vehicle in just 18 months. 0.78

00:15:50.700 And yet she tells me there's some sort of climate emergency.

00:15:54.160 Well, there you have it, folks. Yet another heaping helping from the Justin Trudeau Liberals

00:15:59.920 of that old chestnut, do as I say, not as I do. In fact, they don't even bother to hide the fact

00:16:07.580 that they are hypocrites anymore. Fascinating. And joining me now for more on the latest example 0.99

00:16:14.220 of climate change double standards is our Rebel News chief reporter, Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:16:20.540 Sheila, another incredible piece. You're always knocking it out of the ballpark. 1.00

00:16:25.720 There was many eyebrow-raising items about that report. The one that made my jaw hit the linoleum

00:16:34.940 was when Catherine McKenna said that she carries around her own cutlery and beverage containers.

00:16:43.580 Sheila, I was born in the day, but I wasn't born yesterday. Do you for a second believe that?

00:16:48.520 No, definitely not. In the same way that I don't believe that she snowshoes to work

00:16:52.940 or that she takes a canoe to work or that she rides a bike in high heels to work or whatever

00:16:58.340 she's having somebody photograph her doing. I don't believe she's doing any of that. And

00:17:03.720 that's why we filed for the access to information is, of course, she's lying.

00:17:07.760 And here we can actually test our theory and prove she spent $110,000 over about 18 months

00:17:15.020 on being driven around. This is not just her personal car that she also charges back to the

00:17:20.400 taxpayer because we pay for the kilometers and maintenance for all of that too. This is her

00:17:24.480 chauffeur-driven limo. Yes.

00:17:27.280 Bigger than a Prius, definitely. More carbon emissions than a Prius. This is for that $110,000

00:17:34.360 over 18 months. Yeah. I think she missed her calling. She should have been the minister of

00:17:38.900 photo opportunities. But, you know, getting to the vehicles, like I'm not going to begrudge

00:17:43.640 a cabinet minister of any political stripe transportation to get around. They have to get around.

00:17:51.260 But here's the question, Sheila. Why can't she practice what she preaches despite how you feel

00:17:58.740 about plug-in hybrids or electrical cars? And I know how you feel. But, you know, I think you did

00:18:05.260 a report where you looked at the vehicles in the liberal cabinet. I believe only one was a fully V.

00:18:12.960 I think it was either a Chevy Volt or a Chevy Bolt.

00:18:15.260 One of them that you had to have a fire extinguisher on board with because the battery starts on fire.

00:18:19.740 But what I'm getting at, Sheila, they're preaching for us to go, you know, green, so-called,

00:18:27.160 to get a plug-in hybrid, to get a full-on EV vehicle. Why wouldn't they, for the sake of optics,

00:18:35.800 practice what they preach? Because how I see them getting around is big, giant SUVs like a Chevy

00:18:43.300 Suburban or a Ford Expedition, V8s spewing carbon. I have nothing against that.

00:18:49.800 But they supposedly do, but they don't practice what they preach. Why not?

00:18:53.000 Because I don't think they believe it either. You know, when they start acting like this,

00:18:57.380 I might take them more seriously. I might think they're sincere in their beliefs,

00:19:01.500 but I don't think they're sincere in their beliefs. Carbon taxes, that's why they push the carbon scare,

00:19:07.480 is to push carbon taxes. And carbon taxes is just a revenue tool. It's a tax on literally

00:19:12.740 everything. That's why they push the carbon scare. You know, they don't live as though

00:19:18.080 the planet is going to end because of my comfortable SUV. When David Suzuki stops buying

00:19:24.700 property on the ocean, I will start to believe his sincerity about the rising oceans. But they

00:19:30.660 don't live this way until such time. I'm not going to take them seriously. We also saw, you know,

00:19:35.280 another cabinet minister who likes to send us pictures of herself riding her bike in high heels, 0.99

00:19:43.680 Chrystia Freeland. We caught her sending ahead the limo ahead of the plane. So flying from Ottawa

00:19:50.940 to Montreal, I could match up that she charged kilometers on the limo, but we also had a flight 0.51

00:19:58.280 for her. So she was flying and then having the limo pick her up there while scolding us about our 1.00

00:20:03.840 carbon emissions. Sheila, that makes no sense because she could very well have a rental waiting 1.00

00:20:09.880 for her. The driver could come along on that flight. You know, and here's the thing that's really

00:20:17.500 bothering me. The hypocrisy, the double standards, the lies, but they don't seem to care. They don't 0.82

00:20:25.600 seem to be hiding it anymore. They're that entitled. Why? You know, they know that nobody's

00:20:31.040 going to hold them to account except us. And one of the reasons I looked at the subsequent minister,

00:20:39.000 Wilkinson, is because I wanted to have a benchmark to compare Catherine McKenna to.

00:20:44.280 But secondarily, he was the minister during the pandemic. So most of those things that the liberals

00:20:51.320 tell us we shouldn't be doing to save on carbon emissions, like holding Zoom calls,

00:20:55.100 not driving so much. He did because he was prohibited from doing them through the actions

00:21:00.160 of the government, Ontario government too. He had to hold meetings by Zoom calls. He couldn't go

00:21:05.980 to be the minister of photo opportunities at the opening of an envelope, as they so often are. So he

00:21:12.440 had substantially smaller expenses, which only goes to show there are ways, I guess, to be the

00:21:20.280 environment minister and have fewer driving expenses. Catherine McKenna was just never willing 1.00

00:21:25.180 to do it. Or any minister for that matter, fact of the matter, Sheila, because I think you hit upon

00:21:30.660 a really profound point. These Zoom and Skype calls, they were all done out of not climate change

00:21:37.920 reduction, but because of the pandemic. Well, why can't they just maintain it? I guess, you know,

00:21:44.620 again, to show a lead by example, whatever happened to that concept?

00:21:48.680 You know, it goes to show that they don't think this is an emergency. They keep declaring climate

00:21:54.440 emergencies, crying about climate emergencies, but they don't behave like it's an emergency.

00:22:00.220 You know, they thought COVID was an emergency. At least they behaved as though it were an emergency.

00:22:05.440 They don't do that with climate change. Again, going back to my theory that it's just a money grab

00:22:10.100 that they don't sincerely believe that the world's going to end in 12 or 8 or 4, whatever Greta

00:22:15.100 Thunberg says it's going to end. They don't believe that either. You know, I wonder what her policy is,

00:22:19.180 Sheila. I've seen from environmental groups that, you know, in the last two years, the carbon footprint

00:22:25.240 did indeed go down globally because so many people were staying at home, plants shut down, shopping

00:22:31.620 malls, restaurants shut down. So of course it's going to go down. And I've seen environmental groups say,

00:22:36.840 you know, kind of like the Olympics, once every four years, we should have a complete COVID style

00:22:42.340 shutdown. Where do the likes of McKenna, Suzuki, Gore, and the rest stand on that kind of insanity?

00:22:51.140 You know, that's the thing about this is when you and I look at the lockdowns of the last two years,

00:22:56.760 we think of the economic devastation, the psychological devastation, the devastation of families,

00:23:02.240 the emotional devastation through isolation. We look at that. The environmental left looks at that

00:23:09.420 and says, emissions went down. And I hate to give them ideas because they will say, you know what?

00:23:18.560 Locking people down works. Let's do more of it. Like you say, every four years, I worry that they will

00:23:27.880 use this as a template for climate lockdowns. Unbelievable. Sheila, looking forward to the future.

00:23:34.540 Last word goes to you. What do you think in terms of, especially those who are the environment

00:23:40.340 minister, and of course they call it environment and climate change now, which always makes me roll

00:23:44.780 my eyes. Do you think they're going to modify their behavior or are they just going to, it's going to

00:23:50.220 be same old, same old? It's always going to be same old, same old. Again, because I don't think

00:23:55.560 anything about this has to do with actual climate change. The only time they limited their behavior,

00:24:00.860 and I guess led by example, although they weren't leading by example, they were forced to behave that

00:24:06.000 way, was when COVID hit. I think now next year and the second half of this year going forward,

00:24:12.380 we're going to see those huge expenses run up with regard to their transportation, for sure.

00:24:18.420 Unbelievable. Sheila, thank you so much for joining me here in Toronto. Great report as always. And I got

00:24:24.100 to tell you folks, on a personal note, Sheila Gunn-Reed is the most picky passenger I have ever

00:24:29.800 encountered when she's in my Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid. I guess it's kind of against her

00:24:36.000 carbon footprint religion. She doesn't like it. Really try to win that lottery to buy that 1.00

00:24:41.980 performance Batmobile from Fiberglass Freaks. She can't complain about that. And wouldn't she look

00:24:47.320 great in a boy wonder suit? Folks, keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:24:53.020 You mean the, um, this gathering here? Is that a convoy? Please go away. Okay, then. No more

00:25:02.360 comments. All right. No more comments. It just seems to be. No more comments. Okay. No more comments. You

00:25:09.160 can't articulate your position? No more comments. No more comments. Have I triggered you? No more

00:25:14.500 comments. No more comments. No more comments. No more comments. It's like interviewing a Coke machine

00:25:22.520 when your soda doesn't come out. Now folks, maybe I'm mistaken here, but when one stands on a street

00:25:29.140 corner with a sign and a ghetto blaster blaring as part of a counter protest, chances are that such a 1.00

00:25:36.540 person has some message that they'd like to convey to passers-by, and should members of the media take

00:25:43.660 interest, isn't that even better when it comes to communicating a message to the masses? But when

00:25:50.680 asked just a few simple questions, this lady had a meltdown for the ages, and I'm still not sure why. 1.00

00:25:58.700 In an event, you had plenty to say about Mrs. Malfunction. Mark O writes, didn't she get crushed

00:26:07.640 by a house during a tornado some while back? Does she still have her ruby slippers? No, Mark. I believe

00:26:16.020 that was her sister who endured that accident, actually. Victoria Misery writes, just about as

00:26:23.520 thoughtful and well-spoken as one might expect a counter-protester to be. You know, you're right,

00:26:29.380 Victoria. I mean, usually these types just recite a litany of profanity. She only dropped one F-bomb 1.00

00:26:37.280 during her meltdown. Bravo! Rex99T writes, who knew that Halloween in Canada was on April the 30th?

00:26:48.020 Yes, I was somewhat confused, too, that she was wearing her costume precisely six months early

00:26:54.040 for All Hallows' Eve. Gee, instead of incessantly saying no more comments, maybe she should have been

00:27:01.820 chanting trick-or-treat. Then I could have given her a candy bar or something. I mean, tucking into a

00:27:09.300 Cadbury Carmel bar would have shut her up, at least, I think. Laughmore People writes,

00:27:16.760 Justin has found his new candidate for Ottawa Centre. Well, here's the tragedy in that statement,

00:27:23.440 sir. She'd likely be a better candidate than Yasser Nakvi, the current MP serving Ottawa Centre.

00:27:31.680 Ralph Riley writes, LOL, what a loony, and she has a vote. Think on that. Her opinion is as valuable 0.71

00:27:40.140 as yours when it comes to selecting your leader. You know, Ralph, you now have me

00:27:47.180 questioning the merits of democracy. Golly, maybe Justin Trudeau was right some eight years ago

00:27:54.360 when he confessed his admiration for the basic dictatorship of China when it comes to getting

00:28:01.880 things done. Yikes. Painful Bites writes, did she at least leave her broom well parked? Well, actually, 0.98

00:28:11.500 no, she did not, sir. You see, Ottawa police declared the downtown area a so-called special event zone

00:28:19.020 in which vehicles would be tagged and towed if they were to stop, even briefly, in areas that used to be

00:28:27.040 completely legal parking spots. What I'm saying is that had Witchy Poo brought her broom along, 1.00

00:28:34.500 trust me, Ottawa's finest would have impounded it. Unless, of course, there's some sort of exemption

00:28:40.580 for loudmouth Wiccans. Clinton Zenzus writes, this seems like it's fake. Well, you know, there were a lot 0.55

00:28:50.680 of comments along these lines, folks, but listen, Clinton, I swear to you, the interactions were 100%

00:28:58.960 real. And the fact is, I'm simply not smart enough to cook up a fake video that will go viral.

00:29:06.720 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup. Thanks so much for joining us. See you

00:29:11.640 next week. And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory. Good night.

00:29:20.680 Bye.

00:29:21.680 Bye.
