Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ Vaxx'd and Unvaxx'd Rally For Freedom, Alberta's COVID Mandates

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.

00:00:08.620 I'm your host, David Menzies. 0.98

00:00:11.520 Okay, we have now reached a whole new level of stupidity when it comes to the vaccination file. 0.99

00:00:19.300 Namely, an Alberta Health Services IT worker who works from home alone is being coerced into getting the COVID-19 jabs. 0.99

00:00:30.320 But why? Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the zany details. 1.00

00:00:34.980 And last Monday in Vancouver, there was a protest by health care workers and their allies.

00:00:41.340 They are against the mandatory vaccine passports.

00:00:45.080 And our man in Vancouver, that would be Matt Brevner, he was there to chronicle all the details.

00:00:51.460 Matt will be joining me as well.

00:00:53.980 And letters, we get your letters. We get your letters every minute of every day.

00:00:57.720 And you had plenty to say about my coverage of the protest, also by health care workers and their allies outside Toronto General Hospital, also on Monday.

00:01:08.380 Yes, the mainstream media completely lied about what took place that day.

00:01:14.240 They really did.

00:01:15.620 And hey, why were members of Antifa there?

00:01:20.100 Gee, Premier Ford and Mayor Tory, are these creeps your new friends now?

00:01:24.720 Well, those are your rebels. Now, let's round them up.

00:01:31.540 On it! On empathy! On empathy! On it! On it!

00:01:36.380 You agree with F racism, sure.

00:01:38.160 I would, I would imagine that you, I would imagine that you have empathy for the plight of the black Canadians.

00:01:44.480 I, I'm not, ah!

00:01:47.820 We're here for our freedoms, we're here for our rights, we're going to make a difference, and we're going to do it, we're going to do it diplomatically.

00:01:53.800 Yeah, we're going to vote Trudeau out.

00:01:55.500 PPC, Maxime Bernier.

00:01:57.740 We're here at the Small Business BC protest, behind me is a crowd of a few hundred people, very eclectic, I must add.

00:02:04.560 People from all walks of life, all ages, um, vaccinated, unvaccinated.

00:02:10.620 Hopefully now people are kind of realizing, like, what it really is about, and that it's a lot more than just a passport.

00:02:16.560 We're going right back to Nazi Germany with this, and if nobody sees this, because they've been denied a history.

00:02:23.560 They will not be allowed to go to restaurants, to other public places, and that, in a sense, is, is a form of segregation, so yeah, I do not support that.

00:02:31.560 You do not support that. As someone who's vaccinated, you do not support that?

00:02:34.560 No, I do not.

00:02:35.560 I want to see every single person next Wednesday carrying the Canadian Bill of Rights!

00:02:41.560 Beating the foundation, we're going to re-establish within our country. 0.92

00:02:48.560 It seems that they are all rallied behind their disapproval of the vaccine passport.

00:02:53.560 Something's going on here, it's, this is aggressive.

00:02:56.560 They're going to wake up with the worst hangover they've ever had when they realize that the government, the media, everybody's been lying to them,

00:03:03.560 and that the drugs that we're talking about right now actually prevent you from getting it and stop the spread of COVID.

00:03:09.560 I think that the political powers that have become accustomed to doing politics one way are not prepared for what is transpiring across this nation.

00:03:20.560 There is a change. The political landscape has been shaken.

00:03:24.560 I think it's time that, whether you're vaxxed, not vaxxed, masked, not masked, it's time to stand, it's time to question.

00:03:31.560 And I don't think that people that said, you know what, I'm going to get the shot so things can go back to normal.

00:03:36.560 I don't think that they said, yeah, and now I want to prove it everywhere I go.

00:03:40.560 Like, or that I want to keep up my status or like continue to go back and get boosters or have my small children vaxxed.

00:03:47.560 Well, that was a scene in Vancouver last Monday when frontline workers and their allies staged a protest against mandatory vaccine passports.

00:03:58.560 And thankfully, our man in Vancouver, that would be Matt Brevner.

00:04:03.560 He was there to chronicle the protest and do what Rebel News does best, which is bring you the other side of the story.

00:04:11.560 And joining me now is Matt himself. How are you doing there, my friend?

00:04:15.560 Mr. Menzies, I'm doing great. The sun is shining in beautiful Vancouver, which is a rarity.

00:04:22.560 So, you know, I'll take what I can get. It's really good.

00:04:25.560 Enjoy it while it lasts. But of course, the progressives will say this is all part of global warming or climate change or global cooling.

00:04:33.560 I can't keep track. But Matt, the issue at hand, of course, was the protest that took place on Monday in Toronto,

00:04:42.560 outside of Toronto General Hospital. I did a story on that protest as well.

00:04:49.560 And I want to focus in on one thing. And this is why I'm glad you were there in Vancouver.

00:04:53.560 The media narrative in Toronto was absolutely appalling.

00:04:58.560 And the media was out in full force. I think they thought it was going to get violently shut down,

00:05:04.560 that Toronto was going to have a Melbourne moment, if you will.

00:05:09.560 The jump the shark coverage, I thought, was a CTV tweet with the words terrifying.

00:05:16.560 And then it had a picture of the protest. And if you look closely at the photograph they use, Matt, there's a white vehicle.

00:05:23.560 And I, you know, openly asked, what do you think that is, folks? The Toronto Police Emergency Task Force van?

00:05:30.560 No, it was an ice cream truck selling Sundays and banana splits. That's how terrifying that battlefield was.

00:05:37.560 So the question goes to you, Matt. You were there on the ground to observe firsthand what was happening.

00:05:44.560 How did that compare to what the mainstream media was reporting?

00:05:48.560 I mean, there isn't really any comparison whatsoever other than there were people standing on the street.

00:05:55.560 That's about the only thing that the mainstream narrative got correct.

00:05:59.560 But, you know, it's really unfortunate because there's so much fear mongering being propagated about these protests,

00:06:06.560 about, you know, people who are maybe concerned about vaccine passports or the vaccine or what have you.

00:06:12.560 And it's just, it's really not accurate. You know, I'm thinking this last protest on Wednesday,

00:06:18.560 it was quite a bit smaller than the one that was in Vancouver.

00:06:21.560 You know, it's very difficult to expect people to come out two Wednesdays in a row,

00:06:26.560 especially when they're uncertain about their paychecks or if they'll have paychecks moving forward.

00:06:30.560 You know, people need to work and feed their families and what have you.

00:06:33.560 But the crowd that was there was quite mixed.

00:06:36.560 You know, there were people that were very against the vaccine, against the mandates, everything.

00:06:41.560 And there are also people who have been vaccinated that showed up with their, you know,

00:06:45.560 KN95 masks that were just like, okay, at first I thought this was maybe a little crazy,

00:06:50.560 but these, you know, these mandates are going way too far and we're not for this.

00:06:55.560 Whatever's happening right now here in Canada, we're not for this.

00:06:58.560 So we're standing with this movement.

00:07:00.560 And for the media to just present it as, you know, just label it as anti-vax, ambulance blockers,

00:07:09.560 it's just, it's just, not only is it inaccurate, it's just so irresponsible

00:07:14.560 because it creates such division where people are afraid of each other.

00:07:18.560 People are afraid to go up to people who, you know, maybe have differing opinions and have civil discourse.

00:07:24.560 It's really just sowing such dissent into the fabric of our society.

00:07:29.560 And it's a shame.

00:07:30.560 You know, I agree with you, Matt.

00:07:32.560 And one thing you said there about ambulance blockers,

00:07:35.560 that was the most outrageous lie I saw repeated by several media outlets in the Toronto protests.

00:07:42.560 It wasn't about blocking ambulances, but blocking healthcare workers, nurses, doctors, 0.72

00:07:47.560 even patients from going in and out of the hospital.

00:07:50.560 Matt, I saw 0.0 evidence of that.

00:07:55.560 It just didn't happen.

00:07:56.560 But that was the narrative.

00:07:58.560 What was the story with this ambulance being blocked?

00:08:00.560 Let me guess, was it just happened to be an ambulance that was parked

00:08:04.560 and there were some protesters near it?

00:08:07.560 Well, yeah, you know, it's funny because at least the original protest,

00:08:12.560 the worldwide walkout protest that was global in Vancouver,

00:08:17.560 it started out on 12th Avenue about a block, a block and a half away from the emergency, the ER.

00:08:24.560 So it's funny because these protesters were, Dave, these protesters were so respectful

00:08:29.560 that there was literally a couple hundred people on either sides of the street

00:08:33.560 and then when there was a red light and they had a pedestrian sign, you know, to walk,

00:08:38.560 they would walk into the middle of the street and protest

00:08:40.560 and then when the light turned green again, they would clear the street.

00:08:43.560 Like, this is how respectful these people were, okay?

00:08:46.560 Now, keep in mind, I'm sure even the organizers didn't realize how much of a response this was going to get.

00:08:52.560 So eventually there was, you know, a few hundred turned to a few thousand

00:08:55.560 and that was no longer practical.

00:08:57.560 At which point that shot, that famous shot that was circulating all over mainstream news of the ambulance

00:09:02.560 and the people in front of the ambulance, I was there for that.

00:09:05.560 And, you know, the thing that they don't really talk about in the mainstream news narrative

00:09:09.560 is that was not emergency room, that was staff parking.

00:09:13.560 So was there, you know, was there a patient in that ambulance?

00:09:17.560 I don't know.

00:09:18.560 But I think it's, you know, it's irresponsible to just assume that there was because that hasn't been confirmed or denied at this point.

00:09:26.560 But, of course, you know, all they want is their little snapshot so that they can push the narrative.

00:09:31.560 And then, you know, even as recently as seeing Justin Trudeau when he was in BC a couple days ago

00:09:37.560 and that protester was shutting him down saying, what have you.

00:09:40.560 You know, he gets, in a moment of frustration, he grabs his mask, takes it off his face and yells at the protester.

00:09:47.560 So, like, isn't there a hospital you should be blocking or protesting in front of? 0.96

00:09:51.560 Like, just ridiculous. 0.97

00:09:53.560 Unbelievable. 0.98

00:09:54.560 It's just, these people can't, these, and I don't even like using this term, these people.

00:09:59.560 I have to catch myself.

00:10:01.560 But this is language that's been passed down to us at this point, you know, which is really gross.

00:10:05.560 But a lot of folks don't realize that the reason why these protests are taking place in front of hospitals

00:10:11.560 is because it's doctors and nurses from these hospitals that are walking out.

00:10:15.560 You know, if you're going to stage a protest and you work at McDonald's,

00:10:18.560 you're not going to go protest in front of the post office.

00:10:20.560 That doesn't make any sense.

00:10:21.560 So, you know, that's definitely a key piece of information that's missing from all of these stories

00:10:25.560 that I think would maybe give the general public not only just insight but a little bit more empathy

00:10:30.560 to why people are protesting in the fashion that they are.

00:10:33.560 And you know, Matt, I want to pick up what you mentioned, you know, the protestors when it was small enough

00:10:39.560 that they were so respectful of the traffic signals so as not to impede traffic.

00:10:44.560 Compare that to the jabronis that comprise Extinction Rebellion.

00:10:49.560 They purposely shut down intersections.

00:10:52.560 I've seen it myself causing hundreds, even thousands of cars in a massive traffic jam idling,

00:10:59.560 which is the worst kind of emissions for an engine to make.

00:11:03.560 It's insane.

00:11:04.560 But, you know, the other point I wanted to get to, Matt, is that, you know,

00:11:10.560 I spoke to nurses who are some of whom have already lost their jobs. 0.94

00:11:15.560 Others are going to lose their jobs.

00:11:19.560 And I'm wondering if the healthcare bureaucracy has thought this through.

00:11:24.560 We allegedly have a healthcare system.

00:11:26.560 It's frayed at the seams.

00:11:28.560 It's strained.

00:11:30.560 And yet you're going to fire, what, 20, 25, 30% of your workers.

00:11:35.560 I don't know what the number is.

00:11:37.560 I'm just speculating.

00:11:38.560 So that this already strained system is further strained.

00:11:43.560 Matt, does this make any sense to you?

00:11:46.560 Well, I saw a report from News 1130, which is a Vancouver mainstream media radio station.

00:11:55.560 And they reported that their concern was there could be as many as 200,000 healthcare workers in the province that are going to quit over this vaccine mandate.

00:12:06.560 And we're already in a health crisis.

00:12:09.560 We're already in a pandemic.

00:12:10.560 And these people have been serving for the past 18 months.

00:12:13.560 But here's the thing, Dave.

00:12:15.560 We're so far beyond reason and logic when we're discussing these issues.

00:12:20.560 If you pump, if you lock people up and then you pump them full of fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, you know, rationality goes completely out the window.

00:12:30.560 And it's difficult sometimes when we're looking at the way people are behaving and to not be like, how could they not see things the way I'm seeing things?

00:12:38.560 But we have to understand that people are running around literally thinking that the sky is falling and the world's going to end.

00:12:44.560 And you can't really expect rationality when people are just so consumed by that, by that paranoia and that fear, you know.

00:12:51.560 So my heart goes out to the frontline workers who've been, you know, working 18-hour shifts, umpteen days a week for the last year and a half and are just feeling left alone and confused.

00:13:02.560 And then the complete lack of support and vitriol that's been coming not only from mainstream media, but from our elected officials, our leaders, calling them, you know, cowardly or whatever else.

00:13:13.560 It's just disgusting. 0.94

00:13:14.560 It's not okay.

00:13:15.560 Oh, yeah.

00:13:16.560 That was the narrative too in Toronto.

00:13:18.560 Covid-iots, yahoos, nutjobs, you name it, the demonization and vilification of peaceful protesters, not mostly peaceful protesters.

00:13:29.560 The phrase given to BLM and Antifa types that throw Molotov cocktails.

00:13:35.560 And that's the last question I have for you, Matt.

00:13:38.560 I like Toronto.

00:13:40.560 I noticed in Vancouver the Antifa types showed up.

00:13:44.560 And one of them wearing a fight racism t-shirt, ironically, took a swing at you.

00:13:50.560 What in blue blazes is Antifa doing there?

00:13:54.560 First of all, Antifa is a contraction of anti and fascists.

00:13:59.560 Yet they employ the tactics of fascism, such as violence, as you discovered.

00:14:04.560 So they're really not Antifa.

00:14:05.560 They're really just fa.

00:14:07.560 But it seems to be, it's uncanny.

00:14:11.560 These used to be, from years ago, the anti-government types.

00:14:17.560 Now they're like the government enforcers.

00:14:19.560 They're saying, we want you to mask up.

00:14:21.560 We want you to get your jabs.

00:14:24.560 I mean, Matt, if you think about it too much, your brain melts.

00:14:29.560 How do you make sense of their appearance at these protests as a counter protest, Matt?

00:14:35.560 Well, I don't, honestly, man, I don't even really know how to comment on that.

00:14:41.560 Like, I saw this guy, you know, and he's standing on the side of Canby, and his shirt actually said F-U-C-K racism.

00:14:48.560 So he really meant it.

00:14:50.560 Yeah, they love profanity. 0.90

00:14:51.560 He was really serious.

00:14:52.560 He really meant it.

00:14:53.560 Yeah, they do, you know.

00:14:54.560 And he's waving his fingers in all sorts of ways that are, you know, disrespectful and not safe for kids.

00:14:59.560 And I just thought, well, you know, if he's a, if he really means what he's, what he's saying on his shirt, then he would probably be surprised to know that, you know, overwhelmingly black Canadians are not vaccinated compared to Caucasian Canadians and Asian Canadians being ranking at the highest of that statistic.

00:15:15.560 So maybe, you know, I would, I would plead to his empathy and, and let him know about the statistic.

00:15:21.560 You know, he was not happy to hear it or happy to see me or happy to know that I was working for Rebel, and he shoved me.

00:15:29.560 And then, you know, I learned from you that you don't give up.

00:15:33.560 So I asked him again, and then he, he threw an elbow at me.

00:15:36.560 You know, it wasn't a, obviously, like, I'm okay.

00:15:40.560 I didn't feel like I was in danger in any, in any way, shape or form.

00:15:44.560 But point being is just like the, the cognitive dissonance between what people claim they stand for versus what they actually propagate.

00:15:53.560 And it's, it's, it's B, it's Looney Tunes.

00:15:56.560 Like, I don't really have another word for it, but these people are, they're, they're lost.

00:16:00.560 They're clearly lost, you know, consumed with hate and anger and fear.

00:16:03.560 And they don't know where to, where to put that.

00:16:06.560 They don't know where to place that.

00:16:07.560 And, and unfortunately, news, news networks and propaganda are just pouring gasoline on, on the flames and, and then blaming people like the anti-maskers or the anti-vaxxers or, or Trudeau conveniently during the debates blames, you know, the polarity in our country on us, which is just ridiculous.

00:16:24.560 It's incredible.

00:16:25.560 Well, Matt, it was a great piece.

00:16:26.560 And, and for the Antifa types that so often resort to profanity, ad hominem attacks, even physical attacks, to me, that means you won the debate.

00:16:36.560 They don't have anything in their intellectual reservoir to have a debate with you based on logic facts.

00:16:45.560 And that's why they act like the thugs they are.

00:16:49.560 So good for you.

00:16:50.560 Keep safe out there and keep your eye on future protests.

00:16:55.560 Oh, you're doing great work for us, Matt.

00:16:58.560 And I look forward to your future reports.

00:17:00.560 Thank you so much.

00:17:01.560 Thank you, David.

00:17:03.560 Wow.

00:17:06.560 And that was Matt Brevner in Vancouver.

00:17:10.560 Keep it here, folks.

00:17:11.560 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:17:14.560 At the very beginning of all this, that question was asked to Hinshaw and others, will this be mandated?

00:17:24.560 And they said, no, it wouldn't be.

00:17:26.560 So it came as quite a, well, not as a shock, but I was quite annoyed when I saw, oh, now it's being mandated when it was promised.

00:17:33.560 It wouldn't be because it is, to me, it's unconstitutional.

00:17:36.560 And, yeah, it comes down to your personal choice whether you should want it or not.

00:17:40.560 And I don't at this time.

00:17:43.560 So I don't think it's up to an employer or anyone else to tell me that I don't have a choice.

00:17:48.560 Do you remember when Alberta Premier Jason Kenney told our reporter Adam Sose that he is against vaccine passports, but not just that he doesn't support vaccine passports?

00:17:59.560 Kenney said that he will oppose them.

00:18:02.560 Take a look at this.

00:18:03.560 What's your position of vaccine passports for those individuals unwilling to be vaccinated?

00:18:07.560 Opposed.

00:18:08.560 And we've been very clear from the beginning that we will not facilitate or accept vaccine passports and that, in fact, we regard, I believe that they would, in principle, 1.00

00:18:16.560 contravene the Health Information Act and also possibly the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

00:18:24.560 OK, fine.

00:18:25.560 But why now is an Alberta government agency under the scope and control of the Minister of Health, Tyler Shandro, making a vaccine passport or proof of COVID vaccination a condition of work for Alberta Health Services employees and staff and contractors who have worked through the pandemic just fine for the last year and a half without a COVID vaccine?

00:18:49.560 Incredible.

00:18:50.560 Incredible.

00:18:51.560 It's bad enough that so many are pushing for the idea of mandatory vaccinations and we can debate the merits of mandatory vaccines until the cows come home.

00:19:01.560 But how in blue blazes is there any medical or scientific argument to be made to have an IT worker who works alone at home getting vaccinated?

00:19:14.560 It's baffling.

00:19:16.560 And joining me now for more on this crazy story is Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:19:21.560 How are you doing there, Sheila?

00:19:23.560 I'm great, David.

00:19:24.560 Thanks for having me on the show.

00:19:25.560 Always a pleasure, my friend.

00:19:27.560 Sheila, we've been told since the get go of this pandemic going back almost two years, all the decisions are being made by science and medical advice.

00:19:39.560 That's what the politicians tell us.

00:19:41.560 That's what the bureaucrat tells.

00:19:42.560 But how does someone isolating at home away from all her other coworkers doing all her work online and via the phone?

00:19:53.560 How does she become the modern incarnation of typhoid Mary unless she gets the jabs? 1.00

00:19:59.560 Explain this to me, Sheila.

00:20:02.560 Well, I can't.

00:20:03.560 And that's why we have taken her into our fight vaccine passports caseload as a strategic case where we're trying to stop the forced inoculation of everyday Canadians.

00:20:15.560 It's the whole, like, get the jab or lose your job kind of business.

00:20:19.560 She has been at home since March 2020, since the beginning of the pandemic.

00:20:25.560 Alberta Health Services said the safest place for you to be is at home.

00:20:29.560 That's where we're going to, what is it, stay home to stay safe to stop the spread or whatever the dumb slogan the politicians are using these days.

00:20:38.560 But she's been sitting there just fine, doing her job just fine.

00:20:42.560 She's not exposed to anybody, if you care about that sort of thing.

00:20:45.560 But she's not.

00:20:46.560 She's doing exactly what they told her to do for the last 18 or 19 months.

00:20:51.560 And then all of a sudden, even though she's worked alone and safely on her computer, like the viruses she's dealing with are in your computer.

00:21:00.560 They're not out in the air and they've told her you're going to lose your job if you don't get a vaccine.

00:21:06.560 And so we thought, you know what?

00:21:08.560 You're the perfect case.

00:21:09.560 You're a government worker and you're working at home.

00:21:13.560 Get over here. 0.99

00:21:14.560 Get over here with us at fight vaccine passports dot com and we're going to take your case to court.

00:21:19.560 So that's what we're doing.

00:21:20.560 You know, Sheila, the insanity of this story reminds me of a TTC subway worker that I interviewed off the record.

00:21:29.560 He might go on the record.

00:21:31.560 He's being threatened with suspension or termination for not wearing a mask in the subway car that he drives.

00:21:40.560 Now, keep in mind, Sheila, he is hermetically sealed off from all the passengers and his coworkers.

00:21:46.560 It's just him in a booth.

00:21:48.560 Ninety nine percent of the time he is solitary.

00:21:51.560 I say ninety nine as opposed to one hundred percent because you could say, well, he's got to work, you know, walk to the employee dressing room and back again, that sort of thing.

00:22:00.560 But ninety nine percent he's sealed off.

00:22:02.560 He thinks and I agree that this is all about control.

00:22:06.560 He poses a threat to nobody and neither does she.

00:22:09.560 Is this what's really going on here?

00:22:11.560 It's people being bullies.

00:22:14.560 We're going to make you max up.

00:22:16.560 We're going to make you vax up because we can.

00:22:20.560 You know, that's the worst part of all of this, the whole coronavirus pandemic.

00:22:25.560 For me, it is really revealed what little humanity there was left in the world, because it's not about politics anymore.

00:22:34.560 It's not about left or right.

00:22:35.560 However, I do know how you vote if you're yelling at me in the grocery store because I'm not wearing a mask.

00:22:41.560 I'm pretty sure I can guess.

00:22:42.560 But it is people who want to be left alone and the people who won't leave them alone.

00:22:48.560 That's what it's come down to.

00:22:50.560 You know, when I see somebody out and about without wearing a mask, I think two things.

00:22:54.560 Good for you.

00:22:55.560 But also, all right, maybe they have a medical condition.

00:22:59.560 Maybe they don't.

00:23:00.560 But it's none of my business.

00:23:01.560 It's not my natural reflex to run over there, scold them and demand their private medical information.

00:23:08.560 But that's where we're at now.

00:23:10.560 You have to show in some provinces your bartender, your private medical history before they can pour you a draft.

00:23:19.560 What happened in the course of 18 months in this country?

00:23:22.560 And the further we get away from the baseline of normal, where people are just living their lives, doing whatever, like what we were doing in January and February of 2020.

00:23:30.560 The further we get away from that, the less we remember what normal is and the more we accept the next thing.

00:23:38.560 Just a few short months ago, Premier Jason Kenney in Alberta, he was vehemently against vaccine passports.

00:23:44.560 Not that he just didn't like them and wasn't going to do them, but we oppose them.

00:23:48.560 And now he's making an easy printable card in case a private business wants to bring in a vaccine passport.

00:23:56.560 Well, then here's the card courtesy of the government so that you can utilize that business.

00:24:01.560 So it's you know, everybody's just passing the buck.

00:24:04.560 What was so bizarre a few short months ago, it's perfectly normal now.

00:24:08.560 And I'm worried about this mass brainwashing that we're never, ever going to get back to the way it was.

00:24:14.560 No, you're so right about that, Sheila.

00:24:17.560 And the way it is and the way it has been for more than a year and a half, Sheila, is that these are the salad days for what I call the COVID Karens out there.

00:24:27.560 You know, the busy bodies, the tattletales, the ones that like to, you know, wag their finger.

00:24:33.560 And why are you not wearing your mask properly?

00:24:36.560 And the problem is some of these COVID Karens are employers. 0.97

00:24:41.560 Some of them are ticket issuing bylaw officers.

00:24:45.560 They have they have been empowered by this pandemic.

00:24:50.560 And by God, they are sure using that power, aren't they?

00:24:54.560 Well, sure.

00:24:55.560 And I think there's another I don't want to psychologically diagnose people.

00:24:59.560 But, you know, I have my theories that, you know, there are a lot of people who don't do a lot of good things for their community, don't do a lot of actual useful things for their fellow man.

00:25:08.560 There are those people out there. We encounter them every day.

00:25:11.560 They won't even hold the door for you if you've got full hands.

00:25:14.560 But they've been told now that if they wear a mask, but also if they force you to wear a mask, they are literally saving lives.

00:25:24.560 They're like firefighters. They're like Navy SEALs, you know.

00:25:27.560 And so that's why they come at you with that vigor. Right.

00:25:30.560 This is the first thing that they feel like they've ever done in the world.

00:25:35.560 And it's really easy to do it. Right.

00:25:37.560 You get to do it anonymously. You get to be a jerk anonymously because you're wearing a mask over your face. 1.00

00:25:42.560 And the TV has told you that you you're just like the guy who shot Osama bin Laden. 1.00

00:25:48.560 Look at you. You're saving lives when really you're just doing nothing but being a cruel, unkind, busy body who has no sense of people's right to privacy anymore.

00:26:01.560 They think they're heroes when they're really just zeroes. 0.96

00:26:04.560 Yeah, no, that's well said, Sheila.

00:26:07.560 And, you know, it's funny you mentioned firefighters.

00:26:09.560 I every once in a while I'm passed by a fire truck rushing to a fire and I pull over and I look at the crew and they're all masked up.

00:26:19.560 Here are these big, burly, strong men about to put their lives on the line, rushing into a fire.

00:26:24.560 They've got the mask on probably because they don't want to, but because whoever's in charge has mandated that one last question, Sheila.

00:26:34.560 It's going to head to court. I'm wondering how this is going to pan out.

00:26:37.560 This is the big question moving forward, isn't it, for not just Canada, but for countries around the world, whether employers have this right.

00:26:45.560 Now, I can tell you in Toronto, he bills himself as Canada's preeminent labor lawyer.

00:26:51.560 His name is Howard Lovett. He's a great labor lawyer.

00:26:53.560 He's been very vocal, saying he thinks employers from what he can make of the law do have this right to request vaccinations.

00:27:03.560 And if you don't take it, you're gone. That's his opinion.

00:27:06.560 What's your opinion studying this issue, Sheila?

00:27:10.560 Do people that are not getting vaccinated, do they have a case?

00:27:15.560 Is there hope for them that they won't be forced into this or lose their job?

00:27:19.560 I do think there's hope. And I think it's a lot based on how much they're willing to fight and the judge that they get in front of.

00:27:29.560 Unfortunately, we have very political judges in this country, even though they like to pretend that they're not.

00:27:34.560 And they do want to be the fancy people liked by the mainstream.

00:27:38.560 They don't want to be the judge of the anti-vaxxers when most of these people are not anti-vaxxers.

00:27:44.560 In fact, most of the people I meet at, let's say, the health care workers protest, they'll tell me, Sheila, I'm vaccinated, but I've got to make that choice.

00:27:52.560 Yes.

00:27:53.560 It was a choice for me.

00:27:54.560 And I don't like the government taking away that choice for everybody else, including my colleagues in the emergency room or on the fire truck or on my watch if they're cops.

00:28:06.560 And, you know, I think it really does matter the judge that you get in front of, because, you know, you can hear facts all day long.

00:28:13.560 And I sit in in these court cases and some of the ones I think we're going to lose, we win.

00:28:17.560 And the wins that the ones that we the ones that we lose, I think, well, that was that was a sure thing.

00:28:23.560 Let's appeal it. And we do naturally.

00:28:25.560 But, you know, it really you never really know until you get in front of a judge.

00:28:29.560 But what else can we do except fight?

00:28:32.560 What else can we do? Do we let this happen to ourselves or do we fight and fight as hard as we can?

00:28:39.560 Because freedom literally depends on it.

00:28:41.560 You're so right, Sheila. I've talked to criminal lawyers of decades of experience.

00:28:45.560 The X factor is always the judge.

00:28:48.560 They've gone into cases where this is a no hoper. He's found not guilty.

00:28:52.560 This is a slam dunk. He's found guilty.

00:28:55.560 So we'll see how it plays out. And to your previous point, too, I got to say this.

00:28:59.560 You know, when it comes to personal choice, what happened to those chestnuts?

00:29:03.560 The progressives have long said, you know, my body, my choice when it comes to terminating a baby.

00:29:09.560 Reasonable accommodation that they've just evaporated.

00:29:14.560 No one in the left is saying that anymore when it comes to mandatory vaccines.

00:29:19.560 Well, yeah, but I mean, with the old abortion chestnut, as you call it, it's really my body, my choice.

00:29:28.560 But it's not really because they're not choosing anything really to do with their body.

00:29:31.560 It's the baby's body and their choice like it is now.

00:29:34.560 It's my body, but their choice. Right. 0.93

00:29:37.560 Like it's the busy body's choice that they're putting on my body the same way that they would do it to an unborn baby.

00:29:43.560 So true. My body, government's choice. How did we ever get here?

00:29:47.560 Sheila, a great piece. And we'll be watching this case very, very closely.

00:29:52.560 Who knows? It might be a precedent in the months and years ahead.

00:29:56.560 So I'm sure you'll keep us informed.

00:29:59.560 I definitely will. Thanks, David. Have a great weekend.

00:30:01.560 You too, my friend. And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the hinterland of northern Alberta. 0.94

00:30:07.560 Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:30:11.560 Are you with Antifa, sir?

00:30:17.560 Get your microphone out of my face. 0.98

00:30:20.560 Oh, I can talk to you. It's a free country. You can walk away if you want.

00:30:24.560 Well, they're trying to craft a narrative that all of the healthcare workers are in support of the no jab, no job.

00:30:31.560 I've been doing anti-fast work for years. Every time I see your ass. 1.00

00:30:35.560 Funny how that works. 1.00

00:30:37.560 What's your job? What's your job?

00:30:40.560 They're going to come here with the mainstream media and they're going to talk badly about the people that are standing up and might lose their jobs because they have a heartfelt and a brain that comes together and says there's something wrong with this and we recognize that this is not freedom.

00:30:57.560 It's not freedom.

00:31:01.560 Warning. Censorship. Warning. Censorship.

00:31:05.560 David Menzies for Rebel News here in Toronto. Well, folks, I'm outside Toronto General Hospital. It is the site for a protest involving frontline healthcare workers and their allies.

00:31:17.560 And I got to tell you, the demonization of these people in the mainstream media has been off the charts.

00:31:25.560 But, you know, there's something in the air. There's a vibe I'm getting given a the police presence and b the amount of mainstream media that's here.

00:31:34.560 This might be our Australia moment where law enforcement clamps down because the narrative is that these people are going to interfere with patients and healthcare workers that are going in and out of the hospital.

00:31:47.560 I can tell you, a couple of weeks ago when there was a similar protest, we saw absolutely zero evidence of that. But nevertheless, that is the narrative.

00:31:56.560 They've also been told to protest at a more appropriate place.

00:32:01.560 Well, let me think now. Would that be the public square, i.e. Young Dundas Square?

00:32:06.560 Do you remember what began back in January when it came to anti-lockdown protesters there? Well, here, check out the footage.

00:32:15.560 Protesting is not an essential reason.

00:32:25.560 Why don't I have the right to speak what's on my heart?

00:32:27.560 Mainstream media has decided to sit this one out. Nothing to see here, folks.

00:32:32.560 Go for Moscow! Go for Moscow!

00:32:37.560 The people who own everything in this world, they tell us we will own nothing and be happy!

00:32:42.560 You must be questioning this!

00:32:44.560 This is Toronto. This is not North Korea.

00:32:50.560 You're infringing on my rights! You are infringing on my rights!

00:32:54.560 Officer, why are these protesters not allowed to protest and people like you took the knee for Black Lives Matter in the summer?

00:33:01.560 I'm not going to leave a communist country to my kids or anyone else's kids.

00:33:07.560 Yeah, so there you have it. Just an absolute violent, hostile takedown of people genuinely, peacefully protesting.

00:33:17.560 And as far as the congestion argument is concerned, you know, that's perversely ironic as well because I'm standing right now in a bike lane.

00:33:26.560 These bike lanes only got put in in University Avenue about a year ago.

00:33:32.560 The healthcare establishment, if you will, has long advocated not to have bike lanes here.

00:33:41.560 They want traffic to flow as good as possible for the ambulances.

00:33:45.560 And yet when the pandemic kicked in, well, John Tory, he couldn't wait to resume his war on the car.

00:33:52.560 So now we have bike lanes taking out an entire lane of traffic.

00:33:55.560 John Tory can do that because, of course, he lives within walking distance of his place of employment.

00:34:00.560 In any event, the protest is going to kick off in about 15 minutes or so.

00:34:04.560 And we're just going to see what happens.

00:34:08.560 Hopefully it will be peaceful. Hopefully it will be without incident.

00:34:11.560 Hopefully it will be not another repeat of Young Dundas Square back in January.

00:34:17.560 Our mission is to unite nurses, educate the public and bring the ethics back into healthcare.

00:34:22.560 And I'm pretty sure that the nurses inside have the same mission as we do. 0.93

00:34:26.560 So I think it's a misunderstanding and because of the media, they've twisted everything around.

00:34:30.560 And so it's created this division.

00:34:33.560 I didn't hear off the top. Can you just say your name and where you did work and what your current job status is?

00:34:38.560 My name is Sarah Shijunian. I'm currently the co-founder of Canadian Frontline Nurses.

00:34:43.560 I was working at Siena North Finch in a nursing home and also I worked in the community with kids.

00:34:50.560 Well, you know, folks, there were a few reasons why I really wanted to cover the protests outside Toronto General Hospital last Monday.

00:34:56.560 First, I wanted to hear what healthcare workers and their allies had to say about mandatory vaccine passports,

00:35:03.560 which was the ostensible policy reason for the protests.

00:35:08.560 As well, I wanted to be there to witness firsthand how the mainstream media would demonize these people.

00:35:16.560 And wow, folks, the state funded stenographers at the media party, they really, truly outdid themselves on this day. 0.97

00:35:24.560 Many calling this truly peaceful protest terrifying and referring to the protesters as covidiots and nutjobs. 0.98

00:35:35.560 And hey, what was the deal with the handful of Antifa losers who showed up? 0.99

00:35:41.560 But as you saw, as per usual, they have a very hard time forming cognitive thoughts.

00:35:48.560 At any event, you had plenty to say about various healthcare workers and their friends who would rather lose their jobs than take those jabs.

00:35:58.560 Harry Mills writes, if the protesters were in black and throwing Molotov cocktails, they would be classified as mostly peaceful and MSM and Trudeau's paid off media wouldn't report it.

00:36:13.560 Oh, you're right, Harry. As previously noted, many media outlets describe this truly peaceful protest as being terrifying.

00:36:21.560 Seriously. Yeah, it was so terrifying that there was actually an ice cream truck on site selling sundaes and banana splits.

00:36:30.560 Give me a break. Zero Fox writes, can we all agree to stop calling them Antifa when they are anything but?

00:36:39.560 Great point, Zero Fox. Antifa is, of course, a contraction of the words anti and fascist.

00:36:44.560 But Antifa embraces the odious playbook of fascists committing everything from acts of vandalism to all out violence.

00:36:53.560 They are not Antifa. They are simply fa for fascists.

00:36:57.560 And really, what the hell were these gender studies dropouts doing at the hospital protests in the first place? 0.97

00:37:05.560 Razier writes, the double muzzled dude thought he was tough enough to intimidate David. 1.00

00:37:12.560 Ha ha ha. Yes, Razier. 1.00

00:37:14.560 He was unintentionally funny, wasn't he?

00:37:17.560 Toronto's Antifa members are about as intimidating as a litter of newborn kittens in my book.

00:37:23.560 And his one act of violence against me was, if you can believe it, briefly standing on my foot.

00:37:30.560 I think he must have learned that tactic from Justin Trudeau's RCMP goon squad bodyguards. 0.99

00:37:38.560 Like I said, pathetic. 0.97

00:37:41.560 And Lao Taur writes, never respected the modern day blue hair incarnation of Antifa? 0.95

00:37:49.560 But at least prior to 2014, they fought against the government.

00:37:54.560 Now they call themselves Trudeau stormtroopers.

00:37:58.560 Yes, isn't it perversely ironic?

00:38:01.560 Then again, Antifa is really all about fascism.

00:38:05.560 And Prime Minister Trudeau, well, he stated in the past he has an admiration for the basic dictatorship of China.

00:38:13.560 So when you think of it, folks, birds of a feather, they really do flock together, don't they?

00:38:20.560 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:38:23.560 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:38:24.560 See you next week.

00:38:25.560 And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory.

00:38:29.560 Good night.

00:38:30.560 Good night.

00:38:31.560 Good night.

00:38:58.560 You
