Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ Whistle Stop Café Update, COVID-safe Quebec Concerts

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

00:00:19.920 at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels.

00:00:23.360 I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:00:26.340 Inexplicably, the Alberta government continues its perverse war against Chris Scott, the owner

00:00:32.540 of the Little Whistle Stop Cafe in Mirror, Alberta.

00:00:36.620 Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the latest details on this David versus Goliath battle.

00:00:41.900 And get this, folks, Goliath, a.k.a. the Alberta government, is now playing dirty.

00:00:47.740 And our newest Rebel News reporter, Alexa Lavoie, recently checked out a COVID-approved venue

00:00:55.240 for a music concert in Trois-Rivières, Quebec.

00:00:59.060 It may be new, but trust us, it sure isn't improved.

00:01:03.960 And letters, we get your letters.

00:01:05.520 We get them every minute of every day.

00:01:07.460 And you had plenty to say about my recent visit to Peterborough, Ontario.

00:01:12.020 That's the place where cops will give you a ticket for handshaking or laughing. 0.97

00:01:17.740 No, I'm serious, folks.

00:01:19.280 But if you are a handshaking and laughing crew member of a CBC production being filmed in Peterborough,

00:01:26.660 then suddenly it's a matter of nothing to see here, folks.

00:01:30.540 Move along.

00:01:31.320 Move along.

00:01:32.420 But why?

00:01:33.840 Those are your Rebels.

00:01:34.960 Now let's round them up.

00:01:36.380 I'm Sheila Gunner-Reed for Rebel News, and I'm here today to report a breaking and urgent

00:01:46.260 verdict in the case of the contempt hearing for Chris Scott of the Whistle Stop Cafe.

00:01:52.460 Justice Adam Germain, just this morning, found small-town business owner Chris Scott guilty

00:01:59.500 of breaching a May 6th court order that restrained him from organizing, participating, or promoting

00:02:08.420 illegal public gatherings, which in Alberta at the time meant protests against the lockdown

00:02:14.140 restrictions and church services, when neither of those things conformed perfectly to public

00:02:19.840 health orders regarding social distancing, masking, or capacity limits.

00:02:24.760 You could protest the government.

00:02:25.940 You just couldn't do it with a bunch of people to show the government how many of you were

00:02:29.200 mad.

00:02:29.900 Now, for those of you who don't know, Chris Scott is the owner of the Whistle Stop Cafe

00:02:33.460 in beautiful Mirror, Alberta population, give or take, approximately 500 people.

00:02:39.240 Scott reopened his restaurant in defiance of the lockdowns back in January, and he's been

00:02:43.700 fighting for freedom ever since with the help of Rebel News' viewers and our largest civil

00:02:49.300 liberties initiative to date, FightTheFines.com, where we put people like Chris Scott in touch

00:02:54.820 with lawyers like Chad Williamson from Williamson Law at no cost to the client to help them fight

00:03:01.200 their lockdown tickets and summonses, and I guess in this case, contempt allegations in

00:03:07.500 court before a judge.

00:03:08.900 Now, immediately after Chris Scott reopened his restaurant back in January, he came under

00:03:15.200 constant, constant police surveillance and Alberta Health Services inspections, and Chris

00:03:21.500 Scott was very nearly thrown in jail once before for his act of defiance.

00:03:26.200 However, this time, the government preemptively got a court order in secret preventing Chris

00:03:33.680 Scott from holding a 1,500-person protest against the lockdown at his restaurant that the government

00:03:39.120 had seized from him and chained up in the very same week.

00:03:44.320 You see, the government couldn't make Chris close his doors through threats, so they physically

00:03:49.580 seized the property.

00:03:50.700 The building, including his gas station and convenience store, and his campground, and

00:03:56.280 his restaurant, resulting in collective punishment for the entire town of Mirror, whose closest

00:04:01.740 convenience store was 20 kilometers away.

00:04:05.900 Friends, the government literally got a court order restraining a small business owner from

00:04:11.520 protesting the restraints the government put on his business.

00:04:16.560 They got a court order because they wanted him to stop being mad about the government making

00:04:22.020 him go broke.

00:04:23.300 And then when Chris Scott protested anyway, the government threw him in jail for three full

00:04:28.920 days.

00:04:29.440 And I think I'm glossing over the sleaziest part of all of this.

00:04:34.260 The government got their May 6th court order completely in secret.

00:04:38.520 The government failed to inform the court that Chris Scott was represented by a lawyer named

00:04:43.500 Chad Williamson, but the government also failed to inform Chad Williamson, someone the government

00:04:48.680 knows full well exists, that there were legal proceedings against his client.

00:04:54.180 Now, the terrible news out of a court in Calgary today is that Justice Adam Germain found that Chris

00:05:00.480 Scott was guilty of contempt and that the government's case met the three criteria for contempt.

00:05:06.080 And those are that the person and the act being restrained in the order was clear, that the person had

00:05:12.360 adequate service of the order, and that the person named in the order intended to breach the order.

00:05:18.980 Well, there we have it, folks.

00:05:20.420 The Alberta government continues its war against the little whistle-stop cafe.

00:05:25.720 And even worse, they are now playing dirty, apparently.

00:05:30.020 How disturbing, how downright despicable is that?

00:05:35.640 And joining me now regarding the latest egregious actions that have been taken against whistle-stop

00:05:41.420 owner Chris Scott is Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:05:44.680 How are you doing there, Sheila?

00:05:46.380 I'm great, David.

00:05:47.140 Thanks for having me on the show.

00:05:48.320 It is always a pleasure, my friend.

00:05:50.260 So, Sheila, I was really enraged by your latest report.

00:05:54.360 I was very much hoping for a modicum of justice for Mr. Scott.

00:05:59.920 Instead, the judge seems to be buying into the government's perverse position that the

00:06:04.880 whistle-stop cafe is, oh, I don't know, some sort of super spreader venue, even though there

00:06:11.220 is absolutely no evidence to suggest that this is indeed the case.

00:06:15.500 Sheila, what the heck is really going on here?

00:06:18.320 Well, there's not just evidence to suggest that it's not the case.

00:06:24.460 There's actually evidence on the flip side of that.

00:06:27.200 So, as you know, the whistle-stop, what really got Chris in trouble this time is that he held

00:06:35.360 a 1,500-person strong protest in the teeny tiny town of Mirror, like the whole town was

00:06:40.560 there, plus people from all around.

00:06:42.120 They came to support Chris because that week, not only did the government get this secret

00:06:48.200 court order against him without telling his lawyer that they were seeking a court order

00:06:53.100 against him, but also without telling the judge that Chris was represented by a lawyer.

00:06:59.700 And it's funny because after the fact, they were able to hit Chris's lawyer with a copy

00:07:05.020 of the injunction.

00:07:06.140 So, they definitely knew how to get a hold of him that within minutes of the injunction being

00:07:10.380 granted, they got Chris's lawyer a copy.

00:07:14.200 So, don't tell me you don't know how to get a hold of that guy or that he exists.

00:07:17.140 But they failed to tell the judge.

00:07:18.600 That's one of the procedural issues that they're appealing right now, or doing their best to

00:07:22.700 appeal, trying to appeal.

00:07:24.060 But with evidence to the flip side, Chris held a protest of 1,500 people in defiance of

00:07:29.740 the lockdown restrictions.

00:07:31.300 I was there.

00:07:32.460 No social distancing.

00:07:33.580 No masks.

00:07:35.800 Just a bunch of freedom.

00:07:37.240 Having fun.

00:07:38.020 Good food.

00:07:39.220 And also, not a mass casualty event.

00:07:41.540 So, not only is there, like, there's no evidence to support that this idea that Chris is a danger

00:07:48.940 to the public.

00:07:49.560 There's actually evidence to the contrary.

00:07:51.980 That what he was doing has not put the public in any sort of danger whatsoever.

00:07:56.600 And, you know, Sheila, when you're talking about over 1,500 people in that little area,

00:08:02.020 that's a pretty big protest, I would imagine.

00:08:05.700 And I can understand why.

00:08:07.560 Because as you mentioned in your video, this jihad against Chris Scott, it's not just against

00:08:15.220 him, but the entire community is being penalized.

00:08:19.060 They've been robbed of their diner.

00:08:21.060 They've been robbed of their gas pumps.

00:08:22.740 They have to travel far away for those services.

00:08:26.600 Did that ever enter into the consideration of the authorities in terms of how they were

00:08:32.600 hurting the community at large?

00:08:35.340 No, it's been at least my firsthand experience while I'm there when the cops come and AHS

00:08:42.020 would come while I was sitting in the gas station convenience store part because there

00:08:47.480 was no spots for me in the packed diner all the time.

00:08:50.440 But they really don't care about this community.

00:08:53.640 Chris cares about his community.

00:08:55.000 He likes to be a part of the community.

00:08:58.340 He likes his customers.

00:09:01.240 You don't buy a little tiny gas station in the middle of nowhere if you don't like the

00:09:05.520 town where it is.

00:09:07.480 And it was really vindictive what the government did, not only to Chris, but to this entire

00:09:12.460 town.

00:09:12.780 It really is collective punishment because the closest gas station and convenience store after

00:09:18.220 Chris's place is 20 kilometers up the road.

00:09:20.700 But even more vindictive, for some reason, they chained up the campground that Chris also

00:09:28.600 has on site there.

00:09:30.000 And there could not be a more socially distant activity than camping outside.

00:09:36.040 Like, you're literally outside.

00:09:38.580 And they chained that up, too, because also somehow that was a super spreader event.

00:09:42.800 I mean, it was really just everything that they could do to break this man by chaining

00:09:48.240 up his businesses.

00:09:49.500 And when they couldn't, they got a court order.

00:09:52.040 And then when that didn't stop them, they took away three days of his liberty.

00:09:56.700 Just incredible.

00:09:57.480 And Sheila, I agree with you.

00:09:58.860 The that business about chaining up the campground that had nothing to do with health and safety

00:10:04.780 that had nothing to do with justice.

00:10:06.400 As you said, it's the V word, vindictiveness.

00:10:10.320 This is the government being spiteful, for lack of a better term.

00:10:15.680 And speaking of the government, Sheila, I mean, you've forgotten more about Alberta than

00:10:20.260 I'm ever going to learn.

00:10:21.360 But I assume that in this community, that is it wrong for me to assume that these are or

00:10:29.240 were Jason Kenney supporters?

00:10:31.340 These were UCP voters?

00:10:33.040 Because that's the other inexplicable thing here, why they'd be targeted.

00:10:39.280 But then again, as Mr. Kenney allegedly said several weeks ago, he wants a new base.

00:10:45.480 Yeah, careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

00:10:49.340 That's the thing.

00:10:50.920 Rural Alberta, and especially this part of rural Alberta, it's some of the most conservative

00:10:57.200 parts of not just Alberta, but this entire country.

00:11:01.040 But this is deep blue conservative country.

00:11:03.520 These are reliable federal conservative voters who have not said a word about what's happening

00:11:08.020 to small businesses in rural Alberta who stand up to Edmonton lockdowns.

00:11:14.000 But these were Jason Kenney voters.

00:11:17.060 And so many of them that I talked to because I was there at the whistle stop for weeks on end,

00:11:23.520 they all told me we supported Jason Kenney.

00:11:26.920 Some of them were on UCP boards that I talked to, and they said that they were absolutely

00:11:35.580 opposed and appalled at the actions of the government, that this was not what they voted

00:11:42.440 for, that this Jason Kenney is not the Jason Kenney campaigning in a blue truck in small town

00:11:48.100 Alberta.

00:11:48.520 Wow, you know, Premier Kenney better hope that rural Albertans have very short memories 0.93

00:11:56.420 heading into an election year.

00:11:58.840 One last thing, Sheila, on July 1st, Dominion Day, Alberta relaxed the rules.

00:12:05.240 You can now go into a restaurant, the interior of a restaurant, as opposed to just a patio.

00:12:11.520 Since this is basically what the whistle stop was doing, can't we just move on?

00:12:21.300 Can't this just be dismissed?

00:12:22.680 Because this is now the new normal in Alberta in a legal way, isn't it?

00:12:28.320 Yeah, I mean, we move into stage three reopening, which is basically the lifting of all restrictions,

00:12:33.440 unless you live in the onerous failed city-state of Calgary, where the mayor there wants you to

00:12:39.640 wear masks until the end of the month.

00:12:41.520 While everybody else is lifting them.

00:12:43.320 I guess if you live in one of the bedroom communities and you have a business in one of the bedroom

00:12:47.460 communities of Calgary, good for you, because you're going to get a lot of people who want

00:12:50.980 to utilize your businesses without a mask.

00:12:54.420 But yeah, I mean, we are in court this week again.

00:12:57.940 We're with Chris Scott and Chad Williamson, because they are trying to appeal the procedure

00:13:05.800 by which this secret court order was sought and won against Chris.

00:13:12.780 And that's why, even though restrictions are being lifted, we must keep fighting, because

00:13:19.420 there are legal ramifications downstream of this.

00:13:23.580 If an agency of the government can go before a judge and fail to tell a judge that you're

00:13:31.740 represented by a lawyer and also fail to tell your lawyer that they know about, that they

00:13:38.020 know how to get a hold of, that they are seeking a court order against you that could result in

00:13:42.100 your incarceration, this has to be stopped.

00:13:46.400 This is actual tyranny, that the government can throw out your right to be represented by a lawyer

00:13:51.940 and know what's happening regarding yourself in the court of law.

00:13:58.220 It has to be stopped, because if they can do this to Chris Scott, they can do it to anybody

00:14:03.180 for any reason.

00:14:04.640 You're 100 percent right, Sheila.

00:14:05.860 Well, and this is what made me so enraged about your story, Chris Scott going up against

00:14:10.680 the government of Alberta.

00:14:11.840 That is a David versus Goliath story.

00:14:14.680 Oh, yeah.

00:14:15.280 But the added twist here is Goliath is playing dirty.

00:14:20.840 Goliath is being a trickster on top of the inherent advantage.

00:14:26.140 What do you make of this?

00:14:28.100 Why?

00:14:28.940 It seems that this is almost personal for the government to convict this guy.

00:14:34.140 And I don't understand the reason for the vindictiveness.

00:14:39.020 Well, that's clearly what's happening here, because there's been no health issue, right?

00:14:43.460 There's been no super spreader event that came from this restaurant that has operated

00:14:47.120 at full capacity since January, held events, held protests all the time.

00:14:52.840 Not a single case.

00:14:54.300 So it's not a health issue that's driving this court proceeding.

00:14:59.480 They took away his business.

00:15:01.240 They tried to break him that way.

00:15:02.640 It's that Chris Scott will not be brought under the government's thumb.

00:15:07.580 And I mean, the government is throwing literally everything they have at him and the kitchen

00:15:13.480 sink.

00:15:14.520 It's government funded AHS lawyers up against our fight the fines crowdfunded lawyer.

00:15:19.980 And we're doing well up against them.

00:15:22.920 We're making strong arguments.

00:15:24.460 But it is vindictive that they would spend all these government resources to ruin a man on the basis of public health

00:15:34.980 when he's never caused a public health crisis.

00:15:38.500 However, the government did put him in a facility where they did have a public health crisis.

00:15:43.180 If you want to call a coronavirus outbreak that unbelievable.

00:15:46.580 Well, Sheila, a great report just goes to show you once again, the most off repeated lie in history is the phrase.

00:15:54.520 Hi, I'm from the government.

00:15:55.640 I'm here to help you.

00:15:56.840 So that blows away the check and check is in the mail and it's almost as bad as we're all in this together.

00:16:03.600 But what madness out in rural Alberta.

00:16:07.000 And thank goodness there's someone like you so hardworking and talented to cover it.

00:16:11.240 So thank you again, Sheila.

00:16:12.660 And you have a wonderful weekend.

00:16:15.140 Thanks, David.

00:16:15.900 That's very nice.

00:16:16.660 Have a great weekend, too.

00:16:17.540 You too.

00:16:18.180 And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the northern hinterland of Alberta.

00:16:23.380 Keep it here.

00:16:24.120 More of Rubble Roundup to come right after this.

00:16:26.840 Hey, Alexa, for Rubble News. 0.94

00:16:34.280 So after last night with the Canadian, now I'm in Trois-Rivières.

00:16:39.060 So today is the launch of the Festivois à Trois-Rivières.

00:16:44.400 First music festival since the pandemic.

00:16:48.020 In order to respect the sanitary rule, they therefore build different enclosures

00:16:54.380 to allow a bubble of two to four people to watch the show.

00:17:00.880 So this type of event was inspired by festivals that took place in England during the pandemic.

00:17:09.080 Curiously, during the match of the Canada of Montreal, the sanitary rules are not taken into consideration.

00:17:16.760 But for music festivals, the risks are obvious.

00:17:28.360 This festival usually welcomes more than 20,000 people on more than 16 stages scattered over various heritage sites.

00:17:39.800 With the new sanitary measures, festivals are allowed to host a maximum of 3,500 people.

00:17:49.760 Despite everything, the festival decided to install three stages in total with a capacity of 1,550 people per evening.

00:18:01.480 Social distancing is required with an enclosure for the main stage.

00:18:09.920 Yellow line to delimit the perimeter to be respected for the second and table two meters apart for the third stage.

00:18:21.360 In total, a group of two to four people are allowed to be together.

00:18:28.060 Security will be mandated to maintain sanitary order during the evening.

00:18:36.380 So do you find it normal that the day before in Montreal, I found myself in a crowd of more than 20,000 people without any health measure?

00:18:49.340 And that does not alert anyone, not even Mr. Arruda.

00:18:56.280 But that the risk is increased when we talk about a music festival organized by Hydro-Québec and Lotto-Québec.

00:19:06.920 So what is the difference between these gatherings?

00:19:11.360 Where is the consistency in what is happening right now?

00:19:15.360 Do you think that the health emergency is essential to be maintained?

00:19:23.180 No outbreak in Quebec despite these huge gatherings.

00:19:28.720 And yet the government wants to keep these anti-democratic emergencies in order to be careful.

00:19:37.300 And all this for the health of people.

00:19:41.320 So folks, how are you digging the so-called new normal so far?

00:19:47.380 Just leave it to the government and the bureaucracy to eradicate the enjoyment and fun from events such as rock concerts.

00:19:55.080 Because, well, it's all about the science, you see.

00:19:59.120 Oh, how I pine for the good old days, a.k.a.

00:20:02.760 And joining me now with more on this story is our newest Rebel News reporter.

00:20:09.860 And that would be Alexa Lavoie. 0.69

00:20:11.760 How are you doing there, Alexa?

00:20:14.280 I'm pretty good.

00:20:15.240 And you?

00:20:15.860 I'm doing great.

00:20:17.020 So, Alexa, first of all, let's touch upon the hypocrisy here.

00:20:21.780 Concerts have to severely limit their attendance so that there won't be a COVID outbreak.

00:20:28.580 Yet, as you point out in your video, when tens of thousands of Montreal Canadiens fans celebrate in the streets,

00:20:36.820 suddenly the ticket-happy members of the Montreal Police Service, well, they put away their ticket books and look the other way.

00:20:44.320 How do you make sense of that other than, I guess, Alexa, the Wuhan virus is a supporter of the Canadians 1.00

00:20:51.380 and therefore wouldn't dare infect the celebrating Hab fans?

00:20:56.360 But actually, I'm not surprised when we see our Prime Minister, Monsieur Legault, wearing his Canadian shirt very proudly.

00:21:07.600 So, I'm sure that the virus doesn't really care about if it's a music festival or, like, a game of Montreal.

00:21:17.720 But when we see that I was in the last game of Montreal last Thursday, and I was, like, with 20,000 people in the street gathering all together without masks,

00:21:32.560 without the distanciation, and I'm going at this festival that is in Trois-Rivières,

00:21:39.280 that you need to be in a kind of can of pan to watch the show.

00:21:45.820 That, for me, makes no sense. Absolutely no sense.

00:21:50.320 No, and, you know, the Montreal riot police, Alexa, they love to get their hands dirty, whacking and stacking people. 0.99

00:21:57.280 You know that by bitter experience, being pepper sprayed.

00:22:00.800 But suddenly, when there's a mass amount of people, they look the other way.

00:22:05.900 I guess, talk about herd immunity.

00:22:08.040 But getting back to Festival, and I hope I pronounced that correct,

00:22:12.700 You know, it just seems so odd to me that a festival, Alexa, that you noted normally caters to more than 20,000 people is now capped at 3,500.

00:22:25.500 Yet, this is an outdoor festival.

00:22:28.040 I assume it's mostly young and healthy people.

00:22:32.480 What is the science dictating that particular number?

00:22:37.260 Why 3,500? Why not 10,000? Why not 7,000, etc.?

00:22:42.380 Where is the science here, Alexa?

00:22:45.660 So, mostly, when I observed the first day, it was people in all age, all age.

00:22:54.440 So, I saw like people around 60, 50, 40, and 30, in the group of people was going to the show.

00:23:04.480 And I think it's just because, okay, this festival is made by Loto-Québec and Hydro-Québec.

00:23:13.860 That is the two big companies who are run by the government.

00:23:19.760 So, it's something different that is the Canadian, that is not run by the same kind of company.

00:23:29.080 So, I think they need to respect the role, for sure, like the example.

00:23:35.400 You know, it's funny, Alexa, because if this very same festival was being held, say, in Florida, you would have more than 20,000.

00:23:57.280 I mean, I think what I'm getting at, it just makes a mockery of this so-called science directive when it seems to be that those health bureaucrats in charge seem to have an opinion that the science changes depending on which jurisdiction you're in.

00:24:16.100 Another thing I wanted to ask you, Alexa, because I know recently there was a Foo Fighters concert in Madison Square Garden, which was jammed to the rafters in New York City.

00:24:28.060 But, to get into the concert, you had to have your vaccination.

00:24:33.760 This is the so-called emergence, I would imagine, of the so-called vaccine passport.

00:24:39.900 For this festival, are you allowed to go to it if you haven't been vaccinated?

00:24:46.100 So, yeah, for this festival, you are allowed to go inside if you are not vaccinated, but you need to wear your mask, keep your social distancing, and you need to be really, like, careful.

00:25:03.800 But, in this newspaper this morning, they're actually talking about the vaccination passport.

00:25:11.140 Well, now to see the Canadian of Montreal thing.

00:25:14.540 Wow. And, you know, Toronto had its first vaccination passport event on May 31st.

00:25:21.980 That was Game 7 of the opening round against the Montreal Canadiens.

00:25:27.820 They only allowed 350 predominantly healthcare workers into Scotiabank Arena, a.k.a. the factory of sadness, as I like to call it.

00:25:37.140 And, you had to be vaccinated.

00:25:41.360 So, I think, you know, Alexa, I think this is a sign of things to come, unfortunately.

00:25:47.300 This used to be dismissed as conspiracy stuff.

00:25:50.100 But, I think that in the years to come, whether it's going to a rock concert, a hockey game, getting on board an Air Canada flight, unless you have your vaccination, you're not going to be allowed to take part in these activities.

00:26:06.880 We are going to have two classes of citizens in this country. 0.72

00:26:10.540 So, my thought is, I don't understand why the government wants to separate the people.

00:26:22.800 And, that is not their goal.

00:26:25.400 They should actually bring everybody together.

00:26:28.340 So, the question is, why do you want to do this?

00:26:31.300 Because, usually, when you separate people from others, you can take the power against them.

00:26:39.600 So, the question is, it's not normal that they want to create two kinds of people.

00:26:45.580 The people will need to show their paper and the other one who, because they follow the rules and they follow the vaccination, they can do whatever they want.

00:26:54.820 But, the thing is, since they get vaccinated, everybody, they need to respect the social distancing.

00:27:04.020 They need to wear the mask.

00:27:05.400 They need to do the same, same thing that the other people who doesn't get the vaccine.

00:27:12.640 So, it doesn't make sense.

00:27:14.560 And, especially because now they are talking that the vaccinated people are not immune against the Delta.

00:27:22.320 So, why did they take the vaccine from us?

00:27:26.520 No, 100%.

00:27:27.880 And, Alexa, one last question before we wrap.

00:27:30.400 I just find it very perverse, in a way, that when you look at, when it comes to the feminists out there, 0.92

00:27:38.440 who, for decades, when it comes to the abortion debate, they always chant the same thing.

00:27:44.660 My body, my choice.

00:27:46.860 And yet, where are these people right now, when it comes to the vaccine?

00:27:51.100 I don't see anyone on the left saying, my body, my choice.

00:27:55.520 It's quite the opposite.

00:27:56.940 As a woman, what are your thoughts on that?

00:28:00.320 So, me, I'm really into my body, my choice.

00:28:03.880 And, it's why I'm fighting right now.

00:28:05.600 And, it's why I'm now a part of Rebel, because I think it's something that we should take in consideration.

00:28:15.780 I don't understand why the people now are so blind.

00:28:20.020 I think they have been brainwashed since the beginning of the pandemic, because in all TV, it was only one point of view.

00:28:31.080 And, always, like, you need to be careful.

00:28:33.020 It's very dangerous.

00:28:34.400 You need to be careful.

00:28:35.680 And, people die everywhere.

00:28:37.020 And, so, people don't really reflect correctly.

00:28:41.980 They just follow what they have been told to do.

00:28:46.700 You know what, Alexa?

00:28:48.500 We'll have to leave it at that.

00:28:49.580 I agree with you 100% about the brainwashing, the indoctrination.

00:28:53.020 When I'm in downtown Toronto on a beautiful sunny day, and I see a young, healthy person walking around with a mask and a face shield on, I am just staggered.

00:29:05.240 It's almost, I think, now, given what we know about the virus, given that we know who it affects the worst, namely the elderly with health conditions and long-term care facilities,

00:29:16.620 it's almost like the rest of the people are stating with this kind of PPE on them that I believe in big government, I believe in lockdowns, this is my symbol showing my allegiance.

00:29:30.980 So, anyways, Alexa, fantastic report, as always, and thank you so much for joining me.

00:29:37.480 You have a great weekend, my friend.

00:29:39.580 Thank you, you too.

00:29:40.920 Bye-bye.

00:29:41.820 Thank you.

00:29:42.260 And that was Alexa Lavoie in Quebec. 0.92

00:29:45.300 Keep it here, folks.

00:29:46.780 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:29:53.980 I think it's my duty as a citizen to report a potential super spreader event.

00:30:00.940 In other words, people handshaking and laughing on the set of Murdoch Mysteries.

00:30:06.800 I can't service you with no mask on.

00:30:09.240 Oh, what was that, sir?

00:30:10.080 Sorry.

00:30:10.420 Service you with no mask on.

00:30:12.700 Oh, okay.

00:30:13.900 The royal wave there.

00:30:15.300 Murder.

00:30:15.700 I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:30:16.980 I have no idea.

00:30:17.940 You know when people laugh, sir, or they shake hands, you know, when they're greeting.

00:30:21.420 I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:30:22.440 You've never heard of that?

00:30:23.480 Does the virus know?

00:30:25.060 Excuse me, please.

00:30:26.440 Oh, are you really that afraid?

00:30:28.640 Yeah, because we're in a pandemic right now.

00:30:30.420 Oh, okay.

00:30:31.020 And you have your mask off.

00:30:32.220 That's right, because I'm in the mask off area.

00:30:34.520 I think I saw two people giggling.

00:30:36.880 Yes, hi.

00:30:38.340 It's for police, please.

00:30:39.840 We have spotted people laughing and shaking hands.

00:30:45.000 I said erase that footage of me.

00:30:47.020 Oh, why is that?

00:30:48.320 Because I didn't give you permission.

00:30:49.620 Do you know basic laws?

00:30:51.020 Yeah, we don't need permission in a public place.

00:30:53.340 All right, you'll be hearing from me in some comments.

00:30:58.100 Okay.

00:30:58.480 I'm sorry I triggered you.

00:30:59.920 Don't video me.

00:31:00.600 My name is Happiness.

00:31:01.600 Okay.

00:31:01.940 I'm the COVID.

00:31:03.980 I know, so.

00:31:04.800 You're Happiness?

00:31:05.800 Yeah, so I'm the COVID guy.

00:31:07.080 We saw people handshaking and laughing.

00:31:10.760 Got it.

00:31:11.460 And we're just wondering, I believe that's against the law in Peterborough.

00:31:15.720 Staff Sergeant McLean.

00:31:16.500 Oh, yes.

00:31:17.620 Hi, Staff Sergeant McLean.

00:31:19.020 What does it feel like to be named Canada's worst police officer, sir?

00:31:25.340 David Menzies for Rebel News here in Peterborough.

00:31:28.840 Well, folks, we were tipped off that an episode of Murdoch Mysteries is being filmed here.

00:31:36.000 It's a CBC production, so I have absolutely no idea what Murdoch Mysteries is.

00:31:40.220 But adding to the mystery is we were told that there are scenes involving handshaking and laughter in the script.

00:31:51.680 And as you well know, folks, handshaking and laughter is verboten in Peterborough.

00:31:58.440 Yes, Staff Sergeant Dan McLean will give you a ticket, as he gave me back in April at the anti-lockdown rally.

00:32:06.240 Maxine Bernier and Randy Hillier also receive tickets like that.

00:32:11.200 So during a pandemic and following the legislation, according to the law and what it states under the Reopening Ontario Act,

00:32:20.820 as far as the law and what the law states regarding maintaining two metre physical distancing.

00:32:28.760 And if you can't do that, then you have to wear a mask.

00:32:32.720 Is that what you're referring to? Is that what you're referring to, sir?

00:32:37.500 That is. That is exactly what I'm referring to.

00:32:39.600 Are you aware of what the law, the Reopening Ontario Act states with respect to physical and social distancing?

00:32:47.600 I've read the law. I've read the law.

00:32:49.580 Can you explain to me what the law states with respect to social distancing and physical distancing?

00:32:56.860 Now, that's a weird question to ask me. He's the cop.

00:32:59.900 I'm just curious what the rules are when it comes to handshaking and laughter in the Democratic People's Republic of Peterborough these days.

00:33:10.080 If you're doing it organically or naturally with somebody at an anti-lockdown rally, is that a ticket in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars?

00:33:19.640 But if you're doing it as play acting as part of, say, a Murdoch Mysteries taping, is that OK?

00:33:28.100 And if so, why so?

00:33:29.940 Spoiler alert, folks, not a single member of the cast and crew of Murdoch Mysteries received a ticket while filming last week in Peterborough, even though there was handshaking and laughter galore.

00:33:43.280 How odd, because back in April, yours truly and PPC leader Maxime Bernier and MPP Randy Hillier, we were all given tickets for committing such egregious crimes against humanity as handshaking and laughing.

00:33:58.500 Funny that there was about a thousand people at that rally.

00:34:03.260 But by sheer coincidence, I guess, Peterborough police were only handing out tickets that day to media and political types who have now been deemed persona non grata by the establishment.

00:34:16.660 So maybe that April ticket writing crusade had less to do with public safety and more to do with politics.

00:34:25.520 And naturally, a CBC production gets to break the rules because, well, our state broadcaster is so beloved by Justin Trudeau, a.k.a. CBC's sugar daddy.

00:34:37.940 Oh, to quote the wicked witch of the West in meltdown mode. 0.97

00:34:41.720 What a world. 0.98

00:34:42.900 What a world. 0.53

00:34:44.160 In any event, you had plenty to say about the double standards and hypocrisy that were on display in that banana republic known as Peterborough last week. 0.89

00:34:54.380 Sheldon Berg writes David Menzies should get an award and a million dollars for doing this reporting.

00:35:01.160 The CBC should get masked permanently, never to broadcast their fourth grade TV shows and crazy postmodern propaganda again.

00:35:10.660 Well, hey, thanks, Sheldon.

00:35:12.280 But we live in Justin Trudeau's Canada.

00:35:14.680 The only people getting checks in the millions of dollars are former terrorists like Omar Khadar.

00:35:20.800 James B writes, anyone notice the cops were not wearing masks inside the cop station?

00:35:28.080 Oh, we noticed, James B.

00:35:29.720 And yet again, it's one law for thee, one law for me when it comes to those who are enforcing the law.

00:35:38.080 Huh.

00:35:38.520 So much for leading by example, eh?

00:35:41.940 Razier writes, those CBC actors seem horribly humorless and depressed.

00:35:47.080 David is a legend for actually reporting this to 9-1-1.

00:35:51.500 I'm laughing my ass off.

00:35:54.120 Funniest thing is that the dispatcher actually took the call seriously.

00:35:59.100 You know, you're correct, Razier.

00:36:00.400 I thought I was going to receive a tongue lashing from the dispatcher.

00:36:04.140 You know, what do you mean you're observing people laughing and shaking hands?

00:36:08.180 Get a life, will you?

00:36:09.200 But no, no.

00:36:10.520 My call was received as a legit COVID grievance in Peterborough.

00:36:15.700 This city must have a disproportionate number of COVID Karens ratting out their neighbors. 1.00

00:36:21.300 And the Peterborough police are only too happy to write tickets for such bogus offenses.

00:36:28.000 Unless you're employed by the CBC, of course. 0.99

00:36:31.020 Pathetic. 0.99

00:36:31.700 BK writes, LOL, Dan McLean has the quick wit of someone who was just repeatedly smacked up the head with a 2x4. 1.00

00:36:42.880 How is a man with such low cognitive function earning that kind of salary?

00:36:47.740 Indeed, BK, this staff sergeant is raking in more than $140,000 per year plus benefits

00:36:54.380 for handing out tickets to those who are laughing and shaking hands.

00:36:59.960 Never has so much been paid for so little.

00:37:03.840 Deplorable Island Girl writes,

00:37:05.640 David, you're one of the reasons I love Rebel News.

00:37:08.220 Please, please do not ever leave.

00:37:10.220 Thanks.

00:37:10.860 Well, Deplorable Island Girl, your wish is my command. 1.00

00:37:14.320 Besides, where or where would I go?

00:37:17.620 Mobster Hipster writes,

00:37:18.980 It's LMAO at the mask off smoking area.

00:37:22.800 So you take your mask off to smoke cigarettes that destroy your lungs

00:37:26.960 while you are afraid of so-called super bad respiratory virus.

00:37:32.280 LOL, this is their science.

00:37:35.060 Indeed, Mobster Hipster,

00:37:36.600 most of the people on that set seem to be relatively young and healthy,

00:37:40.820 meaning that there was virtually zero risk they would be done in by the Wuhan virus.

00:37:46.220 But smoking cigarettes, well, that's ingesting a product that,

00:37:51.040 when used as directed, will shorten or even end your life.

00:37:55.820 Genius.

00:37:57.640 And FirstProJKH writes,

00:38:00.460 I used to avoid Rebel News because I was always taught you were racist and fake news.

00:38:06.640 Now I realize the people who were telling me that are the real racists and fake news.

00:38:12.860 Keep doing what you are doing, Rebel News.

00:38:14.920 You guys are a national treasure.

00:38:17.380 You know what, FirstProJKH,

00:38:19.900 your letter is a national treasure,

00:38:22.560 although we still have another six months to go until this year is toast.

00:38:26.940 Your letter is my favorite letter of 2021 thus far.

00:38:31.140 Invariably, when I get into a discussion with those who dislike Rebel News,

00:38:36.040 I always ask them what sins we have committed,

00:38:39.400 and they can never offer a tangible answer.

00:38:42.500 Like yourself, they've been told to hate Rebel News,

00:38:47.480 and they do so without even watching a single minute of content on Rebel News.

00:38:53.880 But you, FirstProJKH,

00:38:58.020 you have pulled back the curtain and discovered the truth.

00:39:01.540 Welcome aboard and congratulations.

00:39:04.640 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:39:07.460 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:39:09.320 See you next week.

00:39:10.120 And hey, folks, never forget,

00:39:11.920 without risk, there can be no glory.

00:39:14.160 Good night.

00:39:14.540 We'll see you next week.

00:39:20.980 We'll see you next week.

00:39:25.640 Bye-bye.

00:39:30.060 Bye-bye.

00:39:34.280 Bye-bye.
