00:00:39 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
00:00:48 and welcome to the Rebel News livestream panel discussion.
00:00:51 on this a friday the 13th 2026 coming to you from rebel news headquarters somewhere in a bunker in
00:01:01 north toronto i'm david menzies and my co-host coming to you from beautiful british columbia
00:01:08 at least the scenery is beautiful out there some of the politicians not so much
00:01:12 that would be drea humphrey how you doing there drea hey man we've turned blue so you know
00:01:19 things could be a little different man it might change out here i'm doing good i'm doing really
00:01:24 good because i haven't had heat in my home for like two weeks and we just got it replaced yesterday
00:01:29 so i'm warm that's good there's no blanket on my lap today but we have those you know out east we
00:01:38 have had one of the most magnificent falls ever i mean i'm i've i'm still out on the road on my
00:01:44 bike. You know, as I like to say, Drea, the reason why I'm merely fat as opposed to circus fat is
00:01:51 riding my bicycle. So that's been a godsend. So thank you, Mother Nature. And our guest folks
00:02:00 for the first half of the show, at least, he is the host of the Elevate Report. And that would be
00:02:10 josh udall how you doing there josh not too bad sir how you holding up i'm doing great now we had
00:02:16 a little chat uh before we went on the air uh about and i'm not trying to be a poppy karen here
00:02:22 but i mentioned folks to josh that poppy etiquette is that after the 11 a.m remembrance day ceremonies
00:02:31 you're supposed to take the poppy off there's the poppy still on you josh what's the deal
00:02:37 cancel me you can cancel me for it i was uh no you know we were talking about with my my audience
00:02:44 on my show and we have quite a bit of vets who watch the show and uh we hearing from them and
00:02:49 talking to them and getting their perspective i feel like if you're able to dedicate a whole
00:02:53 month to someone's sexuality i feel like we can go and give a whole month to our vets here at home
00:02:58 especially the way they've been treated by our government and historically i feel like it's only
00:03:02 fair so i this is my my work to make sure that they are remembered and thought of our you know
00:03:08 past and current service members so i decided to stand on a fantastic point you make and uh i gotta
00:03:15 say maybe we should change the etiquette make it for the entire month of november uh certainly uh
00:03:22 the rainbow people get a well it's beyond a month now it's now pride season then again josh maybe 0.94
00:03:28 you're ahead of the curve you know next friday i'm not making this up folks is transgender
00:03:35 remembrance day it has nothing to do with trans people serving in the military by the way or
00:03:40 making the ultimate sacrifice what do you think about that oh there's a pride poppy out there
00:03:48 floating around too have you ever seen that it's not surprising to me at all though that there is
00:03:52 that is heresy and you know where is the left they're always super sensitive about cultural
00:04:00 appropriation right like people like us we're not allowed to wear a sombrero because we're not 0.62
00:04:06 uh latinos latinas latinx well there's a dumb term that nobody in the latin community uses
00:04:14 but they'll appropriate the poppy and uh make it a rainbow poppy or a blue white and uh what's the 0.98
00:04:21 the other color for the transgenders pink poppy uh can anyone explain the double standard there
00:04:27 well what is a woman it's the same thing right it's just a double standard that's what it is 0.82
00:04:35 well shame on you adrea you know from one of our supreme court justices that the correct term is 0.99
00:04:41 a person with a vagina and i'm not making that up either folks anyways before we get into the 1.00
00:04:49 meat and potatoes why don't we do a little housekeeping well you know what folks i hate 0.99
00:04:54 to say i told you so what am i saying i'd love to say i told you so i said last week don't wait
00:05:01 to buy tickets to the rebel news live event in vancouver in toronto i can tell you in vancouver
00:05:08 it is sro sold right out standing room only and uh that's that's fantastic the bad news is so
00:05:18 many people that were ragging the puck are saying oh can you squeeze us in well the answer is no
00:05:24 you know why not because we're mean it's because well we have people that don't like us and they
00:05:30 observe us covertly and if we broke the fire code you know you know what the CBC is going to lead
00:05:38 with the the next day so Vancouver is sold out I think I think for a week Saturday the 21st
00:05:47 there are the last I heard 10 tickets left so if you want to come to the Toronto event folks
00:05:55 there it is there's all the information go on our website get your tickets don't you dare miss it
00:06:02 as Billy Redlines used to say so congratulations Drea your event is completely sold out and it's
00:06:10 going to be a wonderful event indeed now uh moving on well why don't since we have josh here
00:06:17 why don't we talk about a x posting from the elevate report which uh is entitled
00:06:24 the biggest shock of the year would be if jolie gets fired before lena dieb now what did you mean
00:06:34 by that, Josh? I mean, I'll just say it. Linda Diab's terrible. You know, she's lost on her
00:06:43 file completely. Again, that's an immigration minister. You know, she has made a fool of 0.97
00:06:48 herself on plenty of occasions in the House of Commons. Michelle Rumpelgarner has made an 0.99
00:06:52 example of her in committee hearings. And we are still stunned of how she still has a job. 0.57
00:06:58 And so this week has not been a very good week for the likes of Manly Jolie. And of course,
00:07:04 Mark Carney is an incredible leader.
00:07:06 He's an incredible boss.
00:07:07 That when things hit the fan with Stellantis,
00:07:10 he decided to leave and let Melanie Jolie take all of the shrapnel. 0.94
00:07:15 It's looking really rough for her.
00:07:16 It's looking really bad.
00:07:17 You know, she's been caught, I would say,
00:07:19 lying on multiple occasions trying to cover her tracks.
00:07:22 She keeps being called out on it.
00:07:24 And so instead of calling it out,
00:07:26 or I would say addressing it personally,
00:07:29 but yeah, I messed that one up.
00:07:30 She's decided to say, I'm fed up.
00:07:32 I'm fed up with it all.
00:07:33 I'm down with it.
00:07:34 And this one has hit the fans so bad that the media has to cover it
00:07:41 because there's been nothing else really going on this week
00:07:43 except for the story here in Canada.
00:07:44 So it's not going anywhere.
00:07:46 She cannot wait for Saturday to hit.
00:07:49 And I would say if it gets any worse, she could be let go,
00:07:53 which would be shocking if she gets let go before Elena Diaz.
00:07:55 Well, I wouldn't put it past Carney to use her as a sacrificial lamb.
00:08:00 But Drea, to Josh's point, I have never seen such outrageous political theater play out this past week.
00:08:07 You know, Carney, I'm shocked, I tell you, I'm shocked about, you know, Stellantis not being a Chrysler plant anymore.
00:08:15 And it's going to be turned over to Rochelle making military equipment.
00:08:20 Really? You're shocked? We now have the evidence, don't we?
00:08:23 You were in on the deal from the get-go.
00:08:26 this is unbelievable even the mainstream media is calling him out so what's the deal was carny
00:08:34 wearing a cowboy hat in calgary is that what made him lie that was the excuse last time about the
00:08:40 gordie howe bridge or what say you drea i mean we keep seeing this pattern all the time he's always
00:08:46 out of the country we're number one when we need him not making any deals and you know half the
00:08:51 time what's happening here that's looking bad for us is looking great for Brookfield so none of this
00:08:57 is surprising to me at all and you're right Josh when you say that she is now the face of everything
00:09:04 and having to deal with it and so I won't go as far to say I feel bad for her I'm happy that the
00:09:10 mainstream media is actually calling it out it's almost like they have no choice but to because
00:09:14 it's so ridiculous it absolutely is theater it's going to be a big hit to Canada for what's 0.59
00:09:20 happening. There's a lot of jobs, I believe, going over to the U.S. Again, you know, the elbows up, 0.72
00:09:27 Carney and stuff like that. But at the end of the day, it's also showing that when, you know,
00:09:31 the Liberal government is making these deals with our tax dollars, they're not putting any
00:09:35 insurances in, that if something does switch, do we get the money back?
00:09:41 Exactly. And we have to read the fine print of that contract, which Carney well knows. And you
00:09:47 know and I bet in terms of the mainstream media I bet Carney right now feels like that lion tamer
00:09:53 at the circus you know sometimes the show is going along swimmingly well other times a couple of the
00:09:58 cats are getting back to their nature and they're growling and they're not doing the tricks and the
00:10:05 ring the ringmaster is like how dare you don't you know your role right so that's what I say
00:10:11 But to Drea's point about jobs, let's go to a video where Pierre Polyev, the leader of the Conservative Party, speaks about those 3,000 Stellantis jobs going to the U.S.
00:10:25 And by all accounts, they're not coming back.
00:10:29 What are they supposed to do now?
00:10:32 These are 3,000 Canadian jobs moving to the United States of America.
00:10:36 What happened to elbows up, Mr. Carney?
00:10:39 it sounds like you elbowed those 3 000 canadian workers in the face it's time to start stop
00:10:46 judging mark carney on his speeches promises announcements gushing media coverage and start
00:10:52 judging him on these results real results for real people in the real what are they supposed
00:10:58 you know josh one thing that isn't being reported in the mainstream media i know that brampton
00:11:05 assembly plant very well. Until a few years ago, it was producing the Chrysler 300,
00:11:11 the Dodge Charger, the Dodge Challenger. By the way, anyone watching, if you want to give me for
00:11:17 Christmas a Dodge Challenger Hellcat with over 1,000 horsepower, I will worship the ground you
00:11:22 work on. And previous, the Dodge Magnum station wagon, a fantastic vehicle, I think. And what
00:11:30 happened? The then CEO of Chrysler or Stellantis as it's known, shut down the plant to get it
00:11:38 prepped for all electric vehicles. Why? Because Justin Trudeau, he's the assassin here that
00:11:46 deserves some blame, brought in that goal that Canada, all new vehicles in Canada will be all
00:11:54 ev electrical vehicles only come 2035 that is a pipe dream i know it you know it everybody knows
00:12:02 it but that put the ball in play of shutting down a factory that was producing and i've talked to
00:12:09 the workers there they were producing those cars those three models i just mentioned in sufficient
00:12:15 volumes and at a profit and they were killed to go electric and look what's happened this whole
00:12:23 full electrification. You see it everywhere. All the automakers are dialing it back. The demand
00:12:28 isn't there. So, Josh, is it unfair of me to put a lot of this blame on Justin Trudeau?
00:12:37 I would say yes and no. I think, yes, he's the one who got the ball rolling, as you said. I 100%
00:12:44 agree with that. And I think in some ways it's a partial blame where he should be held account for
00:12:50 what he did in his decision to essentially lead to the point of killing a lot of these jobs.
00:12:55 But then I also put the blame on Mark Carney for finishing the job. It's very easy for the likes
00:13:00 of Mark Carney and the Liberal Party to say, well, it was Trump tariffs that did it. But if you look
00:13:05 at the math and you look at the timeline that's taken place, oh, these jobs were dead a long time
00:13:10 before Trump came back into office for a second term. And I think that is something that people
00:13:14 seem to forget about and need to be reminded of that. Yes, of course, the tariffs have not been
00:13:20 helpful to our auto industry, but let's not get it twisted for one second. The Liberal Party has
00:13:27 been trying to kill or has been making moves to kill our manufacturing for a long time before
00:13:32 Donald Trump showed up. His rhetoric is the only thing that gave him cover to be able to complete
00:13:37 the job, though. A hundred percent. Josh, sorry, Drea, to Josh's point, if you look at the timeline,
00:13:45 Trump hasn't been reelected yet. This is when the Brampton factory was shut down for retooling for
00:13:50 EVs. The T word tariffs has not been uttered. What happened subsequently when the EV pipe dream
00:13:59 went away, the plant was going to produce the next generation Jeep Compass, which is now going
00:14:06 to be produced in the u.s but um yeah you can't bring blame this one on big bad orange man in
00:14:15 washington dc no and i think that's getting a little old too i mean if you base on what just
00:14:21 happened here in british columbia with the election uh david evey thought he had the snap
00:14:26 election in the bag i guess between the a bit of turmoil that was going on with the party out here
00:14:32 and then the trump ticket he thought he could say big orange man bad but he was really the orange
00:14:37 man that's bad so i think canadians have a little bit of fatigue uh with that situation and maybe
00:14:43 you never know maybe they're looking over at what just happened with bc and they're trying a
00:14:47 different strategy yeah you know uh drea you know my thoughts on eb he on election night he must have
00:14:54 felt like a guy that you know put a cigar in his mouth and it exploded right because he's probably
00:15:01 going wait a minute this this worked for carney this worked for ford a year ago february big bad
00:15:07 orange man why didn't it work for me well i guess maybe the track record but uh great point why don't
00:15:14 we talk uh why don't we throw a clip uh from cbc watcher um it is industry minister uh melanie
00:15:22 jolie um while she's still industry i guess we have an over under number in terms of days for
00:15:30 that one and she is evidently confirming that Canada has issued Stellantis a
00:15:37 formal notice who that sounds serious so I've said hundreds of millions and for
00:15:46 the rest the land this knows how much it owes the government of Canada go ahead
00:15:49 so we said that we sent a notice of default and basically they have 30 days
00:15:58 or else of course we'll sue them that's the code that's the idea of a notice of
00:16:04 default it is important to understand that under the contract between the
00:16:10 government of Canada and also Stellantis the company had and and and the
00:16:16 government had to grow through an entire resolution process which we did in good
00:16:20 faith we tried to find a solution for a year and unfortunately we're not able to
00:16:25 and Stellantis has decided to go ahead with its intent of selling Brampton, which is unacceptable,
00:16:33 and therefore that's why we're going ahead as well.
00:16:36 So there was behind, yes.
00:16:39 You know, whenever a politician says, I want to be clear or make no mistake,
00:16:54 You know, you're going to get clarity like a slab of black Italian marble, you know.
00:17:02 But Drea, let's start with you on this file.
00:17:06 I guess the plus side is Miss Jolie didn't say we're going to nationalize the Stellantis plant because, you know, I'm not making this up.
00:17:16 There's a whisper campaign regarding Stelco of the government nationalizing the steel industry in Hamilton.
00:17:23 And I'm sure it'd be a temporary thing until they could figure out a private sector Canadian company to operate it.
00:17:32 But I guess we're going to have to see if there is bite to her bark in terms of suing.
00:17:39 Well, and again, we don't need to applaud the tough action if there is any bite,
00:17:45 because they should have foresaw something like this when you're dealing with hundreds of millions of tax dollars.
00:17:51 But the other thing, as a journalist, I want to see the contract, and that also bothers me.
00:17:56 They're talking about these big deals behind the taxpayer's backs.
00:18:01 We can't even look at the contract to see what went wrong, what's going on, and if there's any kind of recourse.
00:18:07 So if she's saying they're in default, they probably don't think they're in default.
00:18:12 Who's in the right? We won't know.
00:18:14 Well, it sounds like a lawyer's paradise, but Josh, let's talk about the big picture here.
00:18:19 um why is it that government picks and chooses certain industries to give millions and these
00:18:26 days billions of tax dollars to that we subsidize auto plants we subsidize ev battery plants um
00:18:35 i'm a big fan of uh capitalism being darwinian you know survival of the fittest if we keep
00:18:44 propping up losers, we're always going to be in this position, aren't we?
00:18:49 Yeah. And unfortunately, that being the Canadian mentality is something that's kind of hurt us in 0.97
00:18:54 general. You know, it's nice that, you know, being in Canada, we've always been directly
00:18:58 north of the United States, which is like the land of capitalism. And we've brought some
00:19:03 capitalism to our country, but of course, we rely on a lot of socialist policies to, you know,
00:19:08 run our country. And so I think that's what's happened in general subsidy is a lot of the
00:19:12 subsidies you see are there to solidify votes and solidify loyalty to whoever's in power.
00:19:17 It's never been a goal to maybe incentivize competition to bring in the top dollar into
00:19:24 the country, the best products or the best entrepreneurs, the best CEOs who can compete
00:19:29 at the highest level in this country. It's always been what's incentivize you to stay
00:19:34 rather than, or sorry, what's bribed you to stay rather than incentivizing you to stay
00:19:38 in the market. And that's kind of unfortunately, we've seen that for quite some time.
00:19:42 i actually had an old boss of mine who was a prophet york university he was doing entrepreneurship
00:19:48 and he was he he was born in toronto moved to new york made it big in new york came back to to
00:19:54 toronto and was a prophet york for an entrepreneurship and the class started and
00:20:00 he asked you know what do you who is going to make the next 100 million dollar company and like maybe
00:20:06 couple couple hands went up in a crowd of boats 100 people and he said this is the problem why
00:20:12 you're never going to succeed because if i went down to harvard business school all the hands
00:20:16 would have went up that's the difference and then the then they got offended and the then people
00:20:22 started raising their hands saying hey can i say something he's like okay what do you have to say
00:20:25 and the comments like well we don't we just don't have enough money going into entrepreneurship in
00:20:29 this country that's the god's honest truth the way he told me and so that's that's what we're
00:20:34 dealing with in Canada is it's always comes back to subsidies. We have to put government money if
00:20:38 we want to see solutions, if we want to see results. And that honestly has to be broken
00:20:42 if we want to see success in this country once again. You know, and Josh, since you're out on
00:20:47 the East Coast, I'm sure you remember going back to the mid-70s, the fiasco that was the
00:20:53 Brickland sports car that got millions of dollars of taxpayer subsidies. It lasted two model years.
00:20:59 You know, I love gullwing doors, except if you build a car with gullwing doors and they don't open, the occupants are trapped inside.
00:21:07 So you had an ongoing issue of people wrapping on the window from the inside of the car, asking passersby to rescue them.
00:21:16 But again, we keep making the same mistakes, don't we?
00:21:23 Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, sorry. I was wondering what we were going through.
00:21:26 Yeah, no, and we constantly do, right?
00:21:29 And it's one of those situations is until we see a strong bit of courage coming from
00:21:36 those in Ottawa, we see courage from our provincial officials and in wanting to buck the trend
00:21:43 and buck the status quo, this will continue to happen, unfortunately.
00:21:47 And so I think at the end of the day, it's going to be, it's incumbent upon the people.
00:21:52 It's incumbent upon us to put pressure on me.
00:21:55 I would say provincial officials first off, municipal and provincial officials, because
00:21:58 then they start turning the neck of the federal officials. And the provinces have a lot more
00:22:03 power than the federal government would like them to know that they have. And that's what we're
00:22:08 seeing the Quebec premier do. We've seen Daniel Smith put pressure on her different ways in
00:22:12 Alberta. And so I think premiers need to be reminded of the power they have. And it's
00:22:17 incumbent upon the citizens to remind them of that. It's time for us as Canadians to stop
00:22:21 sitting back. Hopefully someone does something for us. No one's coming to save us. We have to
00:22:25 start making our voices known and putting pressure where pressure needs to be put.
00:22:27 And Jorea, even if you are a supporter of government welfare to corporations and the
00:22:35 proviso is, well, at least they're creating high paying jobs. I go back to the multi-billion dollar
00:22:45 battery plant in Windsor. That's federal and Ontario money propping that up. Can you explain
00:22:52 to me this is a uh it was a a cooperative event of stellantis and um uh lg life is good company
00:23:01 uh stellantis has walked away but regardless from the get-go 1500 koreans are at that plant
00:23:13 building the plant where the hell is the argument for creating high-paying jobs when you're bringing
00:23:18 and foreign nationals to give them a nice paycheck oh my gosh i did not know that not surprising i
00:23:25 mean you can't even get into tim hortons right now um but that says a lot right there it's like
00:23:31 we're getting hit on both sides also it says a lot about do we not have people here that can do it
00:23:37 what's happening in that area why are we bringing so many people from korea to do it that way so i
00:23:43 I, yeah, I can't explain it. 1.00
00:23:45 Yeah, so I think it's lose, lose, lose all around.
00:23:48 And, you know, folks, if you want to send a chat and make the case for government welfare, for corporate behemoths, please try to convince me.
00:24:00 Well, Josh, believe it or not, time just flew by.
00:24:03 That's our first half hour.
00:24:05 But before you depart, can you kindly tell our viewers where they can find your content?
00:24:12 Absolutely.
00:24:13 So we have the Elevate Report.
00:24:14 You can find us on YouTube, Spotify, Google,
00:24:17 you name it, we'll be there,
00:24:18 as well as you can find us on X, TikTok, and Instagram.
00:24:21 We are all these different locations
00:24:23 on definitely social platforms,
00:24:24 talking about the federal politics
00:24:25 and what's going on in this country,
00:24:26 and just trying to give a different perspective
00:24:28 of what you're essentially not getting
00:24:30 through the typical media streams.
00:24:33 And so that's what we do.
00:24:34 We do a live stream every weekday in the mornings
00:24:36 and then do a standalone video in the afternoon.
00:24:38 And that is what we do.
00:24:39 And that's always a good time.
00:24:41 And thanks for having me.
00:24:41 Well, that's fantastic. And Josh, if you're walking around the mean streets of Halifax and you come across a 76 Brickland that catches your eye, please make sure those gullwing doors are working, okay, so we don't have to call 911 to rescue you.
00:24:56 Josh, it was a delight. I hope to see you back on the show. And folks, keep it here. We've got a new ad break and lots more to get to.
00:25:06 For generations, many Canadians have preserved more than just firearms.
00:25:11 They've preserved history, tradition, competition, memories.
00:25:18 But under Trudeau, and now Kearney, heirlooms, estates, collectibles, and competition firearms
00:25:25 now have to be surrendered and destroyed.
00:25:31 While violent gun criminals get pass after pass, openly ignoring any legislation, lawful
00:25:38 gun owners are trapped in an increasingly unfair legal system but we can help. Canada's National
00:25:46 Firearms Association's Save Firearms program offers the legal pathway to preserve what matters
00:25:53 while we work towards a political solution. Don't let yours be next. Save history,

00:27:23 Folks, this is great coffee, and this is the coffee to brew.
00:27:27 Rebel News.
00:27:31 Well, Dre, I guess since you are in Vancouver,
00:27:35 it makes complete sense to speak about BC politics.
00:27:38 I mean, you've forgotten more about BC politics than I'm ever going to learn.
00:27:42 But you don't have to be a BC political insider
00:27:45 to give a huge thumbs up to the premier's announcement that he wants most of bc's
00:27:54 government why not all but he wants most of bc's government workers back in the office where they
00:28:02 belong that's an article in the free press uh drea is this a political winner uh for your premier
00:28:10 long overdue and I think the reason why he is saying that you know almost all is because he's
00:28:16 talking about there are some situations in rural areas where it's a little bit difficult to get to
00:28:21 the office all the time so that's very reasonable that's what I want to see is a reasonable government
00:28:27 coming out of here I can't tell you how many times and tell me if it's the same in Ontario
00:28:31 where you go to a constituent constituency office to do a report no one's there it's not just the
00:28:38 politicians that aren't in office or other public servants it's it's all of their staff too that's
00:28:44 just sitting at home doing god knows what so um i'm happy to see common sense that's what i feel
00:28:50 like you know i know that slogan was said so many times but by pierre polyette but in many cases
00:28:56 these days it does seem like conservative policies are in fact just common sense oh drea to your
00:29:02 point about constituency offices yeah there are so many right now that are basic i mean the office
00:29:09 is there the lights are on but nobody's home and there's a notice in the window of the door saying
00:29:15 it's closed due to safety reasons i'm thinking of uh the constituency office in sarnia for uh
00:29:23 mary uh marilyn gladeau uh i'm not kidding uh it basically says uh leave a voicemail or drop us an
00:29:29 email uh bye-bye um but the other thing without knowing this story uh intimately i would imagine
00:29:38 if there's a constituency that is giving the premier resistance on this i bet it's the public
00:29:45 service unions am i correct all the way and you know they're still using covid as the reason
00:29:54 it's like they're still talking like come on man you guys want the lockdown for to live forever but
00:30:01 that's the thing i feel like so many things since we shut down with covid are way worse another
00:30:06 thing that i'm noticing this is a little bit off topic but tell me if you agree it's just customer
00:30:10 service i think something to do with wearing a mask and not having to smile at people or something
00:30:15 like i swear it's night and day between how you used to get treated when i don't know you're
00:30:21 buying fast food, or you're in the store during that time versus after. We've just lost so much
00:30:28 and lazy. Oh, you know what? I don't want to be offensive to certain government workers, but
00:30:36 you're bang on. COVID was a godsend for those who, you know, want to stay at home, not even get out 1.00
00:30:43 of their pajamas and work from a computer, assuming they are working. And that's a big
00:30:48 questions sometimes right like you know it's not that these people have ankle bracelets that you
00:30:54 can monitor uh where they are so um yeah I say to anyone using the COVID excuse Drea um buy them a
00:31:03 calendar for Christmas okay you know anyhow why don't we move on to um oh here's something uh
00:31:12 the premier designate wants to pause the massey tunnel drea i will confess i know nothing about
00:31:20 the massey tunnel what's the deal there well this is one of the things that was coming up um you
00:31:26 know during election time of what was going to happen and so he's going to say it's positive
00:31:30 this was supposed to be done a long time ago if you look at it the bc conservatives campaign
00:31:36 on scrapping it the 8.5 billion dollar tunnel replacement project that the ndp hasn't finished
00:31:43 and the ndp was being critics of that plan even though they cancelled that i believe it was back
00:31:48 in 2017. so this is a huge huge money waster and i think the conservatives want to go ahead with
00:31:55 another project you know actually get it done and save uh british colombians money so it makes
00:32:02 Perfect sense, I think, to posit.
00:32:04 It hasn't been done.
00:32:05 They're still pouring the concrete. 0.87
00:32:06 And even the people have rejected it in British Columbia because it's just ridiculous all around.
00:32:11 So, again, this comes down to common sense.
00:32:13 Again, this is what the Conservatives are promising that they're going to do.
00:32:16 They're promising that they're going to get certain things done.
00:32:19 And I guess the NDP, E.B., was saying, oh, you know, they're going to cancel all of these projects.
00:32:26 Well, this is one that most British Columbians, if they're paying attention to, are like, yeah, long overdue.
00:32:31 So educate me, Drea. Where does this tunnel go from point A to point B? And is it actually needed?
00:32:40 Well, I think it's something is definitely needed. Sorry, I was just going to pull up the.
00:32:47 I'm embarrassed to say I don't know exactly where it is.
00:32:50 Or is it a tunnel to nowhere? I wouldn't put that past government.
00:32:54 We can read it. No, I don't want to guess it wrong, but I think it's out here.
00:33:01 I don't know and I can't find the article now and I don't see it on the screen but
00:33:05 but you know to your original point of what it's costing and I think you mentioned 8.5 billion
00:33:11 dollars why is it so often and I mean we can go back to Olympic Stadium in Montreal in for 1976
00:33:21 everything that government is involved in it is past deadline by years and over budget by hundreds
00:33:33 of not of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars uh the eglinton lrt uh you know uh subway well
00:33:41 it's not it's a subway sometimes and it's above ground other times i don't know why it just
00:33:47 opened earlier this year drea that was years behind schedule and i think 400 million dollars
00:33:52 over budget we're talking 19 kilometers of track how does this happen under government versus the
00:34:01 private sector because i think the people are not paying attention enough i and i think that that's
00:34:07 changing because people are feeling it it's hard to pay your bills it's hard to eat and so they're
00:34:12 starting to look at the leaders and going what's going on that's one of the biggest things i don't
00:34:16 want to see in British Columbia is the people stop being engaged because they think everything
00:34:20 is fine because there's a new government. You still have to pay attention to what's happening
00:34:24 being involved in these projects. To answer your earlier question, no wonder I couldn't remember
00:34:29 where it was. It completely hasn't started. I actually didn't know that it completely hasn't
00:34:35 started pretty much after so many years that we've been talking about it and shoveling out
00:34:41 the money for it um but the work is on ds island right beside the existing tunnel south entrance
00:34:48 um so it's i don't know that neck of the woods is it needed no i don't even know i think it's
00:34:57 definitely needed for sure but it's like get it done yeah or or get it canceled instead of doing
00:35:03 something stillborn and you're on the hook for hundreds of millions maybe a couple of billion
00:35:09 It kind of reminds me of the high-speed rail project in California, one of Gavin Grusome's pet projects.
00:35:17 I think so far they've built one bridge over a highway, no track late yet, and it's supposed to go, I don't know, from San Diego to San Francisco.
00:35:29 Just the incompetence drives me nuts, Ray.
00:35:33 And I think the difference is, in the private sector, you don't get things done, heads are going to roll.
00:35:40 When government officials fail, not only do their heads not roll, sometimes they get performance bonuses.
00:35:47 Well, and who's picking which bridge gets done first sometimes, too?
00:35:51 Because there's a nickname out here, like the Dead Men's Bridge, because so many accidents were happening.
00:35:56 It was so skinny.
00:35:57 And you saw other projects happen before that.
00:35:59 It's like, uh, maybe the one where people are dying all the time should be a priority.
00:36:04 So, you know what?
00:36:06 Can you imagine?
00:36:07 Talk about a red flag.
00:36:08 Hey, boss, we have a bridge.
00:36:10 It's called the dead man's bridge.
00:36:13 Why?
00:36:14 Oh, because people are dying.
00:36:15 You think that would attract some attention with public safety being paramount, allegedly.
00:36:22 But what do I know?
00:36:23 Drea, another subject near and dear to my heart in your neck of the woods.
00:36:28 it is amy ham i love love love this woman uh we spent time together uh on the uh alaskan cruise
00:36:38 uh last year yeah that was fun i was there too that's right out you guys gotta come on the cruise
00:36:45 next time uh i think we still have a cruise tickets available but so fun yes uh that's for
00:36:52 late this month, folks. So again, if you want to get on the boat, get those tickets in request
00:37:00 before November 28. But tell us, Drea, once again, Amy Ham fighting the BC College of Nurses.
00:37:10 It seems like the never ending story. What's the latest? It is the never ending story. And that
00:37:17 that in itself has been much of the punishment for amy ham too this is a nurse who understands 0.67
00:37:23 biological realities refresher on the story back in 2020 she was part with billboard chris and 0.99
00:37:30 putting up the iheart jk rowling uh billboard and that's really where all the troubles had she 0.74
00:37:35 was a registered nurse it was her free time she advocates for you know sex-based spaces 0.93
00:37:42 to be protected for women and also for children to have their own spaces.
00:37:47 And J.K. Rowling advocates for that, too.
00:37:49 So that simple billboard that I heart J.K. Rowling after that,
00:37:53 there was, you know, the typical anonymous tip to her college.
00:37:57 And ever since she's been, I call it, professionally persecuted.
00:38:01 And out of the tribunal hearing, they fined her.
00:38:06 I think it's not fine. It's not the right word bill is.
00:38:08 It was like $94,000.
00:38:10 So, she loses her job and then has to pay $94,000 for just common sense, again, statements
00:38:21 about men and females and their difference, the differences between men and women.
00:38:26 I actually got a statement from her.
00:38:28 So, what happened was she was supposed to have, except for Remembrance Day, be in the
00:38:33 Supreme Court for the whole week.
00:38:35 And it ended a day earlier.
00:38:37 So, today was supposed to be the last day.
00:38:39 It actually ended yesterday.
00:38:40 And so I have an article coming out, but I'll just quickly read the statement in it from her.
00:38:46 She says that she is hopeful that we will get a ruling that upholds free speech for regulated professionals who don't deserve to be speech policed in their spare time, which is key here.
00:39:00 Nobody, she never had a single patient complain about her.
00:39:04 And she says, and being forced to go along with state or regulatory orthodoxy.
00:39:10 and she adds that women's rights deserve protection and are not transphobic absolutely and her lawyer
00:39:19 kind of said something similar i think you have a clip there too from uh brent from the new
00:39:26 westminster times and actually amy ham does some work thankfully she she's a good journalist too
00:39:32 so she has some work um and so he's covering it and there's a quote if we put that up yeah let's
00:39:37 Let's roll that clip, as a matter of fact.
00:39:40 Yeah, let's roll some of it.
00:39:43 Hello, my name's David Brett.
00:39:45 I'm the editor of the New Westminster Times at the Vancouver Courthouse again,
00:39:50 where day two has seen the end of the Amy Ham versus BC College of Mid-and-Life case.
00:39:58 It was supposed to be, the case was set down for tomorrow as well, but it ended early.
00:40:03 so just to talk about what happened this afternoon and it kind of is a tells the
00:40:10 tale of the way the case went in general most of it was taken up by the
00:40:16 interveners that are on behalf of the college West Coast leaf and a gall
00:40:24 Canada where the thrust of their arguments revolved around this concept
00:40:29 that i think the public has a hard time wrapping their heads around it's the question of quote
00:40:35 unquote existential erasure what does that even mean they're saying that the nub of it is really
00:40:44 this that if you take the uh position that gender ideology the idea that a gender soul somewhere
00:40:53 somehow exists and emanates from human beings apart from biological sex and if you say you
00:41:01 don't agree with that you're causing trans people to cease to exist now they're saying that so
00:41:10 effectively they're saying that the debate over the quote-unquote existence of trans people
00:41:17 is not a live debate anymore and the discussion around trans ideology is settled so the judge well
00:41:27 i don't know who decides that but but can i tell you drea what sticks in my craw about this
00:41:37 amy ham is going up against the bc college of nurses you would think they would be very
00:41:46 knowledgeable and savvy about science especially medical science you would think they know that
00:41:54 there is such a thing called a mother that gives birth that she breastfeeds not chest feeds which
00:42:01 is the current um word in uh in fashion in some circles what i'm getting at is the bc college of
00:42:10 nurses should be committed to science and not wacko ideology it's not some woke corporation
00:42:19 like lush cosmetics where you know you can't get past a rainbow flag if you're trying to pick up
00:42:25 some lotion in one of those stores it's so wackadoodle they are a scientific body at the
00:42:31 end of the day but they're not acting scientifically exactly you go to school to learn about biology
00:42:38 you become a nurse and then you can't act like there's biological differences between men and
00:42:43 women on your spare time, which again is, I mean, if she goes down for this and this doesn't get
00:42:49 reversed, this is huge. This is huge for professionals under such regulatory bodies.
00:42:54 And the bodies themselves are, in my opinion, are the problem. We saw them, you know, the
00:42:59 College of Physicians and Surgeons canceled doctors, any doctor that said anything about
00:43:04 COVID was immediately persecuted. And it's like these kangaroo hearings where you get whatever
00:43:12 this existential and you're denying the existence of trans by simply saying, you know, women need to
00:43:17 be in prisons alone against there shouldn't be men in prisons. That's one of the topics that
00:43:24 she talks about. But recently, I reported on another ruling that just kind of shed light on
00:43:29 this this is from the bc human rights tribunal again another quasi judicial sort of hearing
00:43:35 system and there was three different trans i think two were trans identifying one is non-binary and
00:43:42 they all collectively won uh 35 000 and on top of that there's fees of 45 000 so life lads has to
00:43:49 pay this similar to what the issue that you're raising here because life lads is doing blood
00:43:55 and it needs to know if it's doing blood from men or women males or females and because there
00:44:01 wasn't the right thing on the form for this person and because life lab actually just put in what
00:44:07 they were and said in one case for one of them they got awarded because life lab said um it's a
00:44:14 female to male they put ftm when that person i guess tried to put male or whatever and so they
00:44:21 got sued for that they have to pay for that because they're trying to follow the science
00:44:25 so they know exactly who they're taking blood from or whatever they're doing it's crazy 0.99
00:44:30 this is outrageous you know drea i'm sorry but don't you pine for the good old days when tranny 0.64
00:44:38 trouble meant the gear shift was slipping from drive into neutral i mean this is outrageous 0.98
00:44:44 this garbage that we have to deal with especially with a health care system uh so under attack you
00:44:51 know, I'm on a waiting list right now, Drea, in Ontario for an ear operation. It's a six-month 0.97
00:44:59 waiting time for this exact same operation in your province. Five years. Can you imagine you
00:45:06 sign up today and maybe sometime in 2031, if you're still alive, we'll give you an operation.
00:45:13 That's the BC medical reality. And they devote all these resources, all this time
00:45:21 to this nonsense to placate a lunatic fringe 1.00
00:45:25 that I call the transgender movement lunatic. 1.00
00:45:27 Yeah, I think I did because that's what they are 1.00
00:45:29 as far as I'm concerned, and I'm sick of it.
00:45:32 One last thing in your neck of the woods,
00:45:34 kind of related.
00:45:36 What is the late, whoa, I see.
00:45:38 Dallas Brody has an ex-posting about Francis Whittowson.
00:45:45 Let's bring that up if we can.
00:45:47 Super producer, Olivia.
00:45:49 All right.
00:45:50 Frances Whittleson continues the difficult and important fight for freedom of speech
00:45:56 and thought in Canadian academia.
00:46:00 And tomorrow, Jim McMurtry and I will be joining her at Langara College at 1 p.m.
00:46:08 See you there.
00:46:08 What's that all about, Drea? 1.00
00:46:10 Well, this is her plan.
00:46:13 So this is Dr. Frances Whittleson.
00:46:14 Many of you know her.
00:46:15 And she wants to engage.
00:46:17 That's another professor there on the left.
00:46:19 and in Spectrum Street Epistemology.
00:46:23 So that's essentially something that used to be welcome at university.
00:46:27 It's a unique style that a couple of sort of debaters event,
00:46:31 but you essentially put out mats and you have people who for the most part disagree
00:46:37 and you ask a question and you see where you both stand on the positioning.
00:46:42 It's sort of a grading system.
00:46:44 And so this is her plan.
00:46:45 She actually did do this at Lethbridge University.
00:46:49 it's so peaceful it doesn't get any more peaceful in i i wouldn't even call it debate i would call
00:46:54 it a discussion that's sort of like a game um and lethbridge you know the the police came here and
00:47:01 she had to leave uh so it will be interesting to see what's happened that's not happening tomorrow
00:47:05 that's actually happening today at 1 p.m so we will see what happens and we'll let you know
00:47:11 well i'm sure you will cover it uh superbly as you always do regarding these files why don't we
00:47:17 switch gears to immigration jobs and faith and oh here's a cbc news headline um ottawa gives
00:47:24 provinces 139 days to nominate tens of thousands more workers for permanent residence you know
00:47:34 going back to what we were originally talking about how mega projects go um hundreds of millions
00:47:39 over budget and years past deadline suddenly when it's something like this ottawa says 139 days and
00:47:46 not one day extra. Put that on the front burner. Drea, this is irresponsible. And I'm not anti-immigrant
00:47:55 or anti-immigration, but there are such things as sustainable levels. What we are intaking in
00:48:03 this country is unrealistic. The pressure on healthcare, the pressure on the labor market,
00:48:10 the pressure on housing we are falling further and further behind and ottawa thinks the correct
00:48:18 idea is to throw gasoline on the fire what what the hell is going on here i mean it's important
00:48:24 that we continue to talk about this because it's one of those issues that uh as soon as it's going
00:48:30 to get to the point where nobody can ignore it they're not already noticing it and this is
00:48:34 Canada's stance. Canada keeps stretching us beyond our limits with all things related to
00:48:41 immigration. And this is just another example of it. And yeah, we're already paying the price,
00:48:48 but I think it's going to become more and more obvious. And as rebel usually is, we try to warn
00:48:56 the people yes you know so what we have to ask i think drea is what is the unspoken strategy
00:49:04 behind this um the liberals might be evil oh david menzies called the liberals evil i guess i just 0.63
00:49:10 did but they're not stupid and by that i mean drea i've made this point before to go back to 0.86
00:49:16 the last election for example what was the number one demographic that voted in the mark carney 0.93
00:49:22 liberals it was the boomers and by the way i'm not condemning every boomer i'm a boomer lady
00:49:28 menzoid is a boomer okay we're all not mentally unstable is what i'm saying um but the liberals
00:49:36 know that the um the first boomers are now entering their 80s translation this voting 0.71
00:49:45 block is literally dying off what to do what to do well i'll tell you what to do import a class
00:49:54 of people whether we can accommodate them or not whether they have skills or not and the quid pro
00:50:00 quo the silent agreement is every four years or so just make sure you put an x for team red liberal
00:50:08 and everyone's happy well at least the liberal party of canada is happy am i a conspiracy kook
00:50:14 for dovetailing down this road, Drea, or am I right on the money?
00:50:20 Right on the money.
00:50:21 In fact, if you remember when Trudeau first got in,
00:50:24 there was a couple of things he did,
00:50:26 like one of the first and most foremost 0.58
00:50:28 was to lower the age of consent for anal you-know-what.
00:50:32 But in addition to that, he was in a real rush to lessen,
00:50:37 I think it was by six months,
00:50:39 the amount of time it takes for a new person to come here
00:50:42 and become a Canadian so that they could vote a lot faster.
00:50:46 That was a top priority.
00:50:47 Why would that be one of the top priorities?
00:50:49 Why would your main interest be, you know, once they're here, 0.93
00:50:53 they're safe or they're immigrating, they're going through the process. 0.98
00:50:55 Why would that be? 0.99
00:50:56 And so I think that that is for that same reason.
00:50:59 He also brought in so many Syrians, if you remember,
00:51:02 that were supposed to be, you know, no military-age men. 0.97
00:51:06 And then what did we see?
00:51:08 You know, what happened to poor, I think there's a publication ban.
00:51:12 I don't think I can say her name, but the young 13-year-old teen who shortly after that,
00:51:18 after he had that influx of Syrians come in, murdered and assaulted brutally by a military-aged Syrian refugee.
00:51:30 And, you know, Dre, I should make the point here. 0.99
00:51:33 In case you're thinking that Dre and I are right-wing racists, that's not the case.
00:51:41 I have had on several times in the studio, we call him Ted Smith. He doesn't want to be
00:51:46 persecuted by certain violent members in his community. He is an Indian. He immigrated
00:51:53 legally to Canada decades ago. Andrea, what he told me, and he's right. He is right. He said, 0.97
00:52:00 Dave, these aren't doctors and lawyers and engineers coming from India right now. It is
00:52:06 people with no skill set and you know those indians that have come here legally and are 1.00
00:52:13 skilled and qualified and contribute to society they hate this too so please let's not play the
00:52:21 racism card okay yeah i always bring her up when we talk about this but the lady who does my
00:52:28 eyebrows she's like you don't understand that when we came we had to pay canada like 60 000 0.98
00:52:34 dollars we came with you know we we put everything into this and and to have these businesses she's
00:52:40 like the new people are coming they're coming because they just want everything for free they
00:52:44 don't have that drive you know and no no and you know what drea some of them don't even hide it
00:52:50 how many videos have we seen where somebody who is gainfully employed sometimes in a banking
00:52:56 position says hey you know what there's this thing called the food bank just go down and you get
00:53:02 free food no questions asked even if they don't need the food but when some people come i'm sorry
00:53:10 i'm calling it as i see it they come from a low trust society into a high trust society
00:53:15 the first thing they do is game the system and we allow it
00:53:19 yep oh canada well you know drea i can't believe it we're almost out of racetrack here
