Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ Vietnamese Church Arson, $12k COVID Fine

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at

00:00:19.760 some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I'm your host,

00:00:23.940 David Menzies. Ho hum, another day, another church in Canada falls victim to an arsonist.

00:00:32.120 This time it was a Vietnamese church in Calgary. Adam Seuss has all the details regarding one of

00:00:38.740 the latest examples of what has become a deplorable and despicable trend. Speaking of deplorable,

00:00:46.540 Canada's completely nonsensical COVID quarantine hotel program continues to make people's lives

00:00:53.480 miserable for reasons that defy logic. And just will you hear one of the more egregious cases to

00:01:00.460 date, namely a married couple returning home from a charitable mission in Guatemala that ended up

00:01:06.700 being fined $12,000 for deciding not to be incarcerated in such a joint. Catherine Krasnowski

00:01:16.420 has all the appalling details. And letters, we get your letters, we get them every minute of every day.

00:01:22.060 And you had plenty to say about my story on a protest outside the Grand Valley Institution

00:01:27.720 for Women in Kitchener, Ontario. And what were the protesters perturbed by? Well, if you can believe

00:01:34.420 it, folks, biological males who simply say they identify as females can actually serve their sentences

00:01:43.660 in female prisons. And gee, I know, what could possibly go wrong with that scheme? 1.00

00:01:50.820 Those are your rebels now. Let's round them up. 0.77

00:01:58.080 Adam Seuss for Rebel News here, and we are outside of the House of Prayer Alliance Church.

00:02:03.060 This is a Vietnamese community alliance church here in the city of Calgary, and it was subject

00:02:08.020 to arson. There is quite a bit of damage on the other side of the building. The entire property

00:02:12.420 has been roped off by police, so we can't gain access to the property. We're just speaking with

00:02:17.600 security, and the pastor is here. He's going to be talking to us about access to the facility,

00:02:22.260 but there is serious and substantial fire damage to this building in the city. The great tragedy is

00:02:27.480 for the Vietnamese community here, many of them escaped Vietnam, escaping persecution at the hands

00:02:32.980 of communists there. They've arrived in Canada, they've arrived in Calgary, seeking a new life, 0.67

00:02:38.740 and this is what they've been greeted with, arson at their church. This is precisely what they were

00:02:43.500 attempting to escape. A tragic situation, and one will continue to keep you up to date on as it develops.

00:02:49.880 There are four different groups that are meeting here. It's a lively place on Saturday. There's a

00:02:54.920 one group meet here, and then in the morning, the main groups, the Vietnamese group congregation meet.

00:03:02.300 Following that, the Filipino groups, and then another church. So there's a four group meeting here.

00:03:07.980 Okay, so there's four communities gathering in this one building, so this fire has affected more than

00:03:12.940 just one community. It's affected all these communities. And you were saying Vietnamese,

00:03:17.180 Filipino, a number of cultural groups being targeted in this instance. How has this affected,

00:03:24.200 and either of you can sort of speak to this, the community? What's the response been from the

00:03:28.820 churchgoers? Are they sad? Are they scared? And if you want to translate, or...

00:03:33.620 Yeah, I think the initial response is very shock and sad, because the next thing they're going to find

00:03:40.920 out is where they're going to meet these coming weeks, you know. So we suggested something we have

00:03:47.220 to go online again. People really anticipating to go back after this step three, to go back to the church.

00:03:55.300 Yeah. And it's very exciting, and going back. But now, it's different. So they're going to have

00:04:02.500 to look for new places, temporary. And it's very sad, because for lots of Christian communities that

00:04:07.960 have been reduced, you can only have 10 or 15 people. They've lost that community, particularly if it's a

00:04:13.440 Vietnamese community or a Filipino community, that's really at the heart of their life. And

00:04:17.760 they've now lost that space. Particularly, we had COVID restrictions. They couldn't get together.

00:04:22.580 Now, finally, things are opened up, and we've completely lost the space. Do you know any

00:04:28.620 information as to when the space might become available again? Or is it just you're waiting to

00:04:33.360 hear now? We're still waiting for the, you know, the insurance, the adjuster, and the district

00:04:39.580 help us to find out when. Just basically, now we don't know anything about when is the time we're

00:04:45.500 going to go back. But at least six to nine months. And do you have any thoughts on the fact that there's

00:04:50.300 been numerous arsons and vandalisms against particularly the Christian community across

00:04:55.100 Canada as of late? Do you have any comments maybe for either the people carrying out these attacks,

00:05:00.060 or the community themselves? We don't really know. We, you know, we don't really know at all. So we,

00:05:05.660 we rather just, I feel sympathy for the church here. But it's a very sad situation that happened

00:05:13.180 across Canada. Yes, indeed. This torching of churches across our great dominion is a sad situation. But

00:05:20.860 then again, I guess it depends on who you ask, right? I mean, just consider the comments of Justin

00:05:27.260 Trudeau's little buddy, Gerald Butts. Oh, sure, he doesn't actually condone arson against churches. But he

00:05:34.620 says he understands this need to burn down churches. Gee, what a creep. And joining me now for the 0.98

00:05:42.380 latest chapter regarding arson attacks on Christian churches in Canada is Adam Seuss in Calgary. Welcome

00:05:49.660 to Rebel Roundup, Adam. Happy to be here. Hey, Adam, little wonder why firebugs are so emboldened,

00:05:56.940 given the shocking sentiments by the likes of Gerald Butts. But could you imagine if, say,

00:06:03.660 more than a dozen mosques, or even two mosques had been incinerated over the past few weeks,

00:06:10.300 you'd never be able to hide from the outcry and the anguish. Yet, when it comes to Christian churches,

00:06:16.940 it's barely being reported on. Adam, why the double standard?

00:06:20.700 Well, you know, there is certainly a double standard there. But I think at the root of it is a sort of anti-

00:06:27.580 Christian sentiment. We have a liberal political class that is likely more concerned about the carbon emissions

00:06:33.660 from these fires than these places of worship being absolutely raised to the ground. On the note of the

00:06:39.980 double standard, we saw virtually immediately tweets going out when, say, a mosque was vandalized,

00:06:45.820 or even if some sort of Islamophobic sentiment is echoed within society. But when you have,

00:06:52.780 in one night, 11 acts of vandalism against churches, targeted vandalism that I think is

00:06:58.620 fair by definition under the Criminal Code of Canada to call an act of terrorism, in addition to these

00:07:04.060 brazen fires, this is a crisis that if it were occurring to any other group at all in this country,

00:07:10.140 we would have a state of emergency, we would have tactical teams assembled, there'd be committees

00:07:14.940 struck. But instead, we've had not so much as a tweet. In fact, it took days and eight fires for

00:07:21.260 Justin Trudeau to say something when asked, he didn't jump onto Twitter to decry these these acts.

00:07:27.260 So it's no wonder with all the rhetoric around these residential schools by Justin Trudeau, other political

00:07:36.460 parties, as well as the CBC, that people feel angered. And I completely understand anger over the

00:07:43.580 residential schools is a logical and justified response. One hundred percent. But the problem is

00:07:49.500 we've crossed a threshold. We should be able to, on one hand, say that the residential schools are 1.00

00:07:55.500 extremely problematic and we need to do something to rectify that situation, even if it is in the past.

00:08:00.780 The idea that there's wounds that are lingering is a fair and valid idea we have to approach.

00:08:06.380 But on the other hand, we should be able to just condemn the burning of places of worship

00:08:10.460 without saying, but if, or qualifying that language. Those are two things that can be

00:08:15.420 condemned without apology or qualitative language.

00:08:18.380 Oh, a hundred percent, Adam. But you know, I'm also curious, did any of these arsonists

00:08:24.300 bother to ask the natives if this is what they want? I mean, I understand some of these churches

00:08:30.620 are beloved by native people. This is where weddings were held, funerals were held, they were used as

00:08:35.980 community centers. How does burning down that social hub, if you will, help things on the reserve?

00:08:43.580 Well, you know, we went out to Siksika Nation and we met with Father Long, who was Vietnamese,

00:08:48.700 I believe. So there's another tie to the Vietnamese church we can talk about here.

00:08:51.980 But he talked about how the church is actually part of the healing heart of the community.

00:08:57.740 Moving forward, often we in our culture, we go to church on Sunday and that's about the extent of it.

00:09:02.780 That's not how their lives work. He told us about people coming to the church struggling with

00:09:07.980 addictions and making commitments to get through that. And the church is part of their rehabilitation

00:09:13.260 process. Even on the note of the residential schools, they had an area in the church designated

00:09:18.460 near the altar for sort of a healing process. There was like an animal pelt and a number of

00:09:23.340 stuffed animals, sort of a shrine to those people lost in the residential schools. So it is certainly 0.96

00:09:29.180 part of their daily life on a very fundamental level. We've heard virtually across the board

00:09:34.140 from chiefs and representatives of First Nations communities and elders that this hatred and this 0.86

00:09:39.820 process of sort of vigilante retribution is not at all what they are advocating for and that it in fact

00:09:47.580 damages reconciliation. It does nothing to improve relations or to heal. It just creates a new dark

00:09:53.820 chapter in Canadian history. Oh, 100%. And you know, Adam, I mean, I was shocked and appalled when you

00:09:59.660 see the likes of, I'm disremembering her name to use a Roger Clemens line, but the head honcho at the BC

00:10:09.260 Civil Liberties Association, who Tucker Carlson rightly describes as a dangerous lunatic, who's tweeting out, 0.70

00:10:16.540 burn it down. I mean, for anyone to say that is bad enough, but for someone who's about civil liberties,

00:10:25.660 endorsing arson, and let's not forget, in many parts of the country, Adam, there are record heat waves

00:10:32.940 being carried out. Lighting a building like a church on fire is kind of a perfect storm situation

00:10:38.540 if you want a lot of arson to happen to people that are completely innocent in this debate.

00:10:46.620 Well, we've seen fires where a family was inside the church when someone attempted to light it on

00:10:51.820 fire. Someone is eventually going to die. And particularly, and I know Drea and Matt are

00:10:56.620 covering the story, but if you look at Lytton, British Columbia, they originally, all mainstream

00:11:01.260 media outlets were reporting that it was sparks from the train. Now, very quickly, now that they've

00:11:06.380 investigated, the mainstream media who've stoked the fires, so to speak, with their rhetoric,

00:11:13.260 couldn't bear to have the idea spread that, well, maybe someone set a church on fire and it spread.

00:11:18.940 So they were so quick to say that, well, this was just sparks from the train, something along those

00:11:23.100 lines. Now it's coming out with investigations that it seems to have been started by a person,

00:11:29.980 whether by accident or on purpose. But if we look at a string of fires in the area across British

00:11:34.780 Columbia and across Canada, centered on churches, and you have a church at the center of that town,

00:11:40.380 as well as a strong First Nations community, it's not too much of a stretch to suggest that it is

00:11:45.740 possible that there was another arson and this time things spread. That being said, it shouldn't be

00:11:51.900 only a tragedy once it spreads to neighboring buildings. We should also be in arms, up in arms

00:11:56.940 about the fact that churches themselves are being burned. But this is dangerous. And my main concern is

00:12:01.980 that they're not going to convict these people, that judges will take into account the hurt of

00:12:06.300 residential schools. It's absolute madness. You can't justify someone. If someone is outraged

00:12:12.060 or angry about something, it doesn't give them free license to commit horrific acts of hatred and

00:12:17.580 discrimination. No, it doesn't. And Adam, I mean, I really felt moved by your video with the Vietnamese

00:12:25.340 church in Calgary. I mean, what did they have to do with anything involving the residential school issue?

00:12:34.140 This seemed to be just a building with the wrong logo on it, i.e. a Christian cross, and therefore

00:12:40.700 it's open season, time to burn it down. It just broke my heart. I mean, how did you feel talking to

00:12:47.180 those people there? Because that seemed like such a needless tragedy. Well, and that church houses

00:12:54.860 four congregations, four communities, among them a Vietnamese community and a Filipino community.

00:13:00.860 Now, particularly for the Vietnamese community, many of those people in their lifetimes, I know

00:13:05.340 pastors and priests who escaped persecution under the communists, who saw family members killed for

00:13:10.940 their faith. And they escape that. They no doubt have post-traumatic stress from those horrific

00:13:16.620 encounters with communists. They come to Canada. They come to Calgary, Alberta, strong and free.

00:13:22.060 They think that they're finally going to have this. They have their small church. They're gathering.

00:13:25.820 They have the sense of community, the safe space in a society that can sometimes seem at odds with how

00:13:30.540 they grew up. They have this one space in society that's safe. And we don't know if it's some punk kid or

00:13:36.540 if it's an organized attack, like likely occurred with the acts of vandalism, the spree in one night.

00:13:42.140 But someone went out of their way to set this. We use the term safe space very often. This is a safe

00:13:47.420 space for these people, a sacred space, a space of wardrobe. Someone went out of their way to set it

00:13:51.900 on fire and attempt to destroy it. Well, Adam, we got to wrap it there. Great report as always,

00:13:57.260 my friend. You stay safe, my friend. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. And that was Adam

00:14:02.620 Seuss in Calgary. Folks, keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:14:12.220 Katherine Krasnowski here for Rebel News. I want to share a fight the fines case with you today 0.97

00:14:17.500 that will really tug at your heartstrings. Carol and Grant Lamb are a married couple who have

00:14:23.740 devoted their lives to helping children in Guatemala through their charity, Power at Work.

00:14:29.100 Watch what happened to them when they returned home from abroad after refusing to enter the

00:14:34.140 government mandated quarantine hotel. We're going to talk to the legal team about their case as well,

00:14:39.180 so stick around to hear that update. But first, if you aren't familiar with Fight the Fines,

00:14:45.020 it is one of our largest civil liberties projects ever. Rebel News, in partnership with the registered

00:14:51.020 Canadian charity, The Democracy Fund, fight unlawful lockdown tickets by setting up Canadians with top-notch

00:14:58.380 criminal defense lawyers. Take a look at their story. The stress that comes out just thinking

00:15:04.700 about it. We already knew we were not going to do their three-day hotel, so whatever else that looked

00:15:10.620 like, that kind of was our anticipation. And so when we arrived, we went to customs. He was a very pleasant

00:15:18.060 guy, nothing wrong with the customs guy. He had to do paperwork. We told him we were not going to

00:15:23.980 the hotels, so we got a different sticker on our passport. If you were going to hotels, you got an

00:15:32.060 orange sticker. If you were not, and we'd have to have a health guy speak to us, we got a blue sticker,

00:15:39.100 I believe. We did see the lineup of the people to the hotel. They were just lined up again like cattle,

00:15:46.140 being told exactly what to do. They hurtled us down. They took our temperature. We were fine. They basically

00:15:53.820 said we were fine. We refused to go for the three-day hotels. We said we have an empty home at home.

00:16:04.940 Nobody's been in for five months. Because we refused their hotels, that cost us each, I believe,

00:16:10.620 $3,700 in fines. And then they wanted to give us another test right there on the spot. In doing that,

00:16:20.060 I showed them I had a negative test. We both had a negative test the day before. And they said,

00:16:27.020 well, don't you want this test? It's free. And I go, I don't need a test. I'm negative. And on that

00:16:34.220 response, I said to them, because they were trying to force me to have a test, I said,

00:16:39.580 when were you ever tested? And their response was they had never been tested. Wait, what? The border

00:16:49.020 officials who face thousands of new faces every day aren't being tested. Carol and Grant Lamb were

00:16:55.820 tested before leaving Guatemala and were both negative. But for refusing another test at the

00:17:01.900 airport, they were given more fines. So then they said, well, because of the quarantine act,

00:17:08.700 you refused this other test. So you get another $1,800 ticket each. If we were sick, I would have

00:17:17.980 gladly said, fine, we deserve a quarantine because we don't want to give anything to anybody.

00:17:23.900 But on doing this, they wrote out another ticket for each of us for $3,800 or $1,800 each. So our total

00:17:31.020 bill for the two of us to leave the airport was $12,270. Over $12,000 in fines for two healthy people

00:17:43.260 with negative COVID tests to return to their empty house in the country. Does that make sense to you?

00:17:50.060 No, it sure doesn't make sense to me. In fact, since we know there have been cases of COVID-free

00:17:56.540 people checking into these quarantine hotels only to get infected, please remind me again how these

00:18:04.940 rat traps are all about health and safety. And joining me now to try to make sense out of an insane

00:18:12.700 situation is Kathryn Krausinowski. I hope I didn't butcher your name again. Thank you so much. Well,

00:18:20.860 welcome to Rebel Roundup, Kathryn. I got to tell you, to me, this story is perverse. Here is a couple

00:18:27.580 going abroad, going abroad, improving the lives of those who are less fortunate, return to their 1.00

00:18:33.260 country and are treated like criminals, put in these COVID jails, I call them. Why?

00:18:41.500 Well, it's actually interesting. I don't know because I was speaking to our paralegal,

00:18:47.100 Jenna Little, who's amazing. And she was saying that what stood out to her about the lambs who got

00:18:53.260 these tickets coming back from Guatemala, what stood out to her about the case was

00:18:57.420 that there are so many people in the airports who are not going through to the COVID hotel and not

00:19:02.860 getting these crazy fines. They were each given two, one for not getting another PCR test at the

00:19:09.420 airport when they had a negative test from 24 hours prior. And the second was from refusing to go to

00:19:15.260 the quarantine hotel. And Jenna said that not everyone's getting slapped with all these tickets.

00:19:18.700 So it's almost like they were targeted. It's so arbitrary. And, you know, Kathryn, we know

00:19:24.940 it's not a pleasant experience in many of these hotels. You were my camera person when we went and

00:19:30.620 talked about that lady that allegedly got sexually assaulted at a Toronto COVID hotel by somebody who

00:19:37.100 was pretending to be a staffer. So much for a secure environment. There's another story we did about

00:19:42.700 the fellow that if he ate the meal that he was given, he would have gone into anaphylactic shock and

00:19:48.940 maybe have died. And that was the Red Cross catering it, even with warnings and signs posted on his door.

00:19:55.900 I think what this is all about, and I want to get your take, is it's the Justin Trudeau liberals

00:20:03.340 doing political street theater here. They're saying to Canadians, look how we're protecting the safety of

00:20:09.900 our great dominion by putting these selfish travelers into COVID hotels so that they don't spread their

00:20:18.620 COVID cooties to the rest of you. And yet, that's the optics, but the substance is, well, no, it's not working.

00:20:30.300 And it's actually having a debilitating effect. Would you agree with that?

00:20:34.220 Yeah, absolutely. And what you said about it being arbitrary is spot on because Rebel News did a story

00:20:39.500 about they had gotten access to some documents about who was exempted from the COVID hotels. And it

00:20:45.420 was like professional athletes, this and people who are working for the government. And it's like,

00:20:50.140 okay, so those people are magically not spreading the disease. And someone who's coming from Guatemala 0.54

00:20:56.140 helping children is going to spread the disease. 0.98

00:20:58.060 Oh, the hypocrisy is unbelievable. And I even believe the head honcho of the CBC, 0.88

00:21:04.380 she flies from New York into Canada on a weekly basis, no quarantine hotel for her. So

00:21:09.980 somebody please explain the science there, Catherine, because that's the other thing. We're told

00:21:16.780 that it's always science dictating these decisions. Maybe weird science, maybe political science,

00:21:24.620 but not science.

00:21:25.660 Theatrical science.

00:21:26.700 Yeah. I mean, because a virus can't determine, I should think, who is a member of the great unwashed 0.98

00:21:35.500 masses and who is a VIP, right?

00:21:37.740 I'm not a virologist, but I would think that a virus doesn't do that.

00:21:41.660 Yeah, absolutely. Now, tell us about the lambs. What I found wonderful about your story is that

00:21:49.500 it's not a matter of them going to Guatemala and just giving handouts. They're teaching people there

00:21:55.820 woodworking skills, I think welding skills, how to do bike repairs. It's kind of like, you know,

00:22:02.460 give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him to fish, feed him for life. They're doing such great

00:22:08.700 work in very, I would imagine, difficult conditions. And again, to be treated like that. But what is it,

00:22:16.140 what's their motivation of, you know, devoting their life to this?

00:22:20.620 Their motivation is to put God first. And they're quite religious. And I'm not so much a religious

00:22:27.260 person, but I found the way that they were speaking about the, I don't remember the specific piece of

00:22:33.740 scripture that they were, their whole charity is built around, but it's basically put God first

00:22:38.300 and the rest will take care of itself. So if you were, and it's something about through the power of

00:22:43.900 your work, you're putting God first. So that's what they're teaching these children. And apparently the

00:22:48.300 saying in the village that they have in Guatemala is coincidentally, God first. So they were like,

00:22:54.460 it's a perfect marriage of their philosophy. So they're teaching them, like you said, not to

00:22:59.340 do handouts, but they're giving a man a fish, I'm sorry, teaching a man to fish. And these children

00:23:03.900 are growing up with culinary skills and welding and woodworking and things that will actually,

00:23:10.940 not just arbitrarily, like theoretically help them actually help them when their bicycle that they

00:23:15.500 need to use to get to school breaks down, they can fix that bicycle. It's incredible.

00:23:19.340 And yet when they get back to Canada, it's almost like our slogan is welcome to Canada,

00:23:24.940 where no good deed goes unpunished, right? You know, well, you know what, we're going to fight for them.

00:23:31.660 And they deserve it. Everyone deserves it. Catherine, you know, in the big picture,

00:23:36.460 first of all, I think we're going to win all of these fines. And we're up to more than 1800,

00:23:42.540 I believe. Secondly, I think when these do go to a court of law, and we're talking months,

00:23:48.540 perhaps years down the road, I personally think there's a very good chance that the justice system

00:23:55.580 won't want the courts tied up with these trivial, and that's what they are, trivial fines. They're not

00:24:00.860 real criminal charges. And they're going to dismiss them, you know, across the board. I think what the

00:24:07.420 government is counting on is people being naive with these tickets, being scared of these tickets,

00:24:14.940 being terrified of going into a criminal court, which they've never done, and they'll pay it that

00:24:19.980 way. But those who are saying, forget it, I'm fighting it, or I'm ignoring it. I think there's a

00:24:26.460 very good chance the vast majority of these people are going to get off. I hope so. I think that

00:24:31.900 ignoring the ticket isn't probably the best option. That's our lawyers have said that because we don't

00:24:37.660 know they actually might go through and they might they might spend the next 10 years prosecuting these

00:24:41.660 people. I think you're probably right. They probably will not. And hopefully, it's like when they legalized

00:24:46.780 marijuana in Canada, where they just wiped out all the previous like, little mini convictions. I hope 0.73

00:24:51.340 that it's the same thing. Well, you know what, if they can wipe that out, they can wipe this out. So,

00:24:55.420 Catherine, I want to tell you a great story. I love your stories, David. Well,

00:25:00.380 thank you so much. And I love your t-shirt, by the way. Thank you. It's new on the store,

00:25:05.820 folks, the Menzoid. I'm so honored and flattered that Catherine would wear it. It's a great shirt. 0.65

00:25:10.700 I like this shirt a lot. It's endorsed by Catherine. And folks, by the way, if you do want to help us,

00:25:17.340 help the LEMS and about 1800 other people that are facing these grotesque COVID fines, please go to

00:25:25.500 fightthefines.com. I know these are tough times, but if you can throw in a couple of bucks,

00:25:31.580 it helps pay the legal fees for these people. And we can put up a good fight for them because this is

00:25:38.300 just so undeserving. Keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:25:43.260 When I first got here, I was told right away by some of the women to watch out for

00:25:53.340 a certain prisoner. And I said, wait, we have men here? And they're like, yeah, we do. But you're

00:25:59.740 not allowed to call them men and you have to use she, her pronouns. Are you telling me, Heather,

00:26:04.780 I can just deviously say, hey, I'm a woman all of a sudden and I'm here. Yes, you could. Will you

00:26:11.820 do your best to ensure that trans women are put in prison or prison more appropriate to their 1.00

00:26:16.940 gender identity? The answer is yes. The next day it was policy. Unbelievable. That is how much 0.95

00:26:23.020 consideration women got. It's sorry to see real women like yourselves throw women inmates under 1.00

00:26:30.060 the bus because of males pretending to be females. I will not call him a woman because he was not. 0.80

00:26:38.380 How he victimized women throughout the compound over that period of time absolutely floored me.

00:26:43.980 We really should be able to define a woman in this country. And sure, let trans people live the way 1.00

00:26:49.740 they want. However, you can't just throw women under the bus. Faking transgender just to be where 1.00

00:26:56.060 you want to be, where your victim pool is, is wrong. I right now identify as a female. And if I'm found

00:27:02.540 guilty, I want to be incarcerated in that building. Is that okay? Sir, you have the right to do whatever

00:27:06.700 you want. David Menzies for Rebel News here in Kitchener, Ontario. Well, folks, I'm standing outside

00:27:16.460 the Grand Valley Institution for Women. This is a female prison. And that is the reason du jour for 1.00

00:27:24.540 our visit here today. As you can see behind me, a group of demonstrators have gathered. And what it

00:27:30.540 is that they're protesting is an absolutely egregious thing that is occurring in the penal system in

00:27:37.580 Canada. Namely, going back to 2017, the Justin Trudeau Liberals and Correctional Service of Canada

00:27:45.500 thought it was a perfectly good idea to have male prisoners who identify as females be incarcerated in 1.00

00:27:54.460 female institutions. And we are talking murderers. We are talking rapists. We are talking pedophiles.

00:28:02.140 And naturally, I know what you're thinking. What could possibly go wrong? Well, a lot can go wrong. 0.71

00:28:07.980 A lot of the women who are here, that is to say, the real biological women are at risk to their personal 1.00

00:28:15.660 health and safety because they are in the same institution as biological males. This is crazy.

00:28:23.980 And so it is that this group who is assembling here today is trying to create awareness of a truly egregious

00:28:31.900 situation. Let's hear what it is they have to say of radical transgenderism run amok. 0.94

00:28:40.620 I don't even know how to. I lived with one of them in my unit for about six months. And to witness how

00:28:49.500 he, I will not, I will not call him a woman because he was not, how he victimized women throughout the

00:28:58.380 compound over that period of time, absolutely floored me, disturbed me. Um, he sexually assaulted a woman

00:29:05.660 in my house when we were there. It's hard to believe, isn't it? Thanks to the Justin Trudeau

00:29:10.700 liberals, biological male prisoners who simply identify as female prisoners are allowed to serve

00:29:17.900 their time at female prisons, co-mingling with the real woman there. Oh, great idea. Because like, 0.90

00:29:26.620 really, what could possibly go wrong? In any event, you have plenty to say about yet another perverse

00:29:32.540 policy change put into place in order to appease radical transgender activists.

00:29:40.300 Last Minute Prayer writes, so if you identify as a five-year-old, do they send you to juvie? Hey,

00:29:47.020 Last Minute Prayer, please don't give these cats any ideas.

00:29:51.260 You know, that's a great question, Clause. But then again, just take a gander at the woke weakling who

00:30:09.100 heads up the official opposition party. I think these days are fake feminist PM and his cronies 1.00

00:30:15.820 merely just have to show up at election time. Basically win by default. Sad.

00:30:22.940 Roland Grange writes, why the hell would you let a man into a woman's prison? This is insane. 0.99

00:30:32.620 Oh, careful, Roland. In our cancel culture environment, what you just wrote might be deemed as a hate crime.

00:30:39.260 Even though every word is true, it is insane because dangerous male offenders

00:30:46.380 are gaming the system so they can abuse vulnerable female prisoners behind bars. It's sickening. 0.95

00:30:54.220 Warm Sunny Today writes, David did a great job reporting on a story that needs to be told,

00:30:59.420 and yet no one else is covering. Thanks for the kind words, Warm Sunny Today. And you are right.

00:31:06.220 This is a very important story, and it's an issue that's receiving almost zero mainstream media coverage.

00:31:13.180 Well, far be it for the CBC to report on such insanity. It might come across as transphobic,

00:31:20.620 and surely there is no greater sin than that these days, right?

00:31:26.300 Steve Goodman writes, if someone accuses you of being transphobic, just accuse them of being heterophobic.

00:31:33.420 Um, one problem with that strategy, Stephen, the loony left thinks it's perfectly fine and

00:31:39.420 politically correct to be a heterophobe these days. And finally, FireGuy97 writes, if David Menzies just

00:31:48.140 declared his identity as a female, that officer is now guilty of an offense because he just used false

00:31:55.420 pronouns. He said, sir, you can do whatever you want. That officer called a woman, sir.

00:32:03.020 Well, you know, FireGuy97, I wish I had caught that misgendering moment when it had occurred.

00:32:11.100 Then again, perhaps it's best I didn't. After all, you know, if a single complaint was made

00:32:17.100 regarding a misgendering moment, that poor police officer is likely sent directly to sensitivity

00:32:23.340 training. And I'm sure this guy is already dealing with enough BS as it is.

00:32:29.100 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup. Thanks so much for joining us. See you next week.

00:32:34.620 And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory. Good night.

00:32:41.100 See you next week.

00:33:01.580 Thank you.
