Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ A conservative politician named Randy Hillier was arrested. What does that say about our civil liberties？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friend. Special show today. It's all about the arrest of Randy Hillier, a member

00:00:04.060 of the Provincial Parliament of Ontario. You can like Randy or dislike him, doesn't much matter.

00:00:09.460 The fact that he was arrested for peaceful political protest, deeply troubling. Trumped

00:00:14.060 up charges. I'll take you through one of them. But even more troubling than the fact he was charged

00:00:19.440 is the fact that so many people are cool with it. In fact, so many people are thrilled by it. I'm

00:00:24.260 worried about the rest of us, not just about Randy. That's today's show. It's up in a minute.

00:01:07.160 Tonight, a conservative politician named Randy Hillier was arrested.

00:01:20.980 What does that say about our civil liberties? It's March 29th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:28.520 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:32.240 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:36.320 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:40.900 bloody right to do so.

00:01:42.160 There are some countries in the world that give their sitting politicians legal immunity.

00:01:54.940 As in, you can't sue or prosecute their politicians while they're still in office.

00:01:59.460 It's easy enough to understand the thinking, because they could be sued on a nuisance basis,

00:02:05.800 not just in civil courts, but trumped up criminal accusations too. But

00:02:10.480 typically, it's corrupt or partly corrupt countries that give this immunity because

00:02:17.500 you've got to be pretty worried about your police and prosecutors and courts being politicized if

00:02:25.620 you're going to tell them that you trust none of them and that none of them can lay a glove on

00:02:32.020 politicians until they're out of office. I mean, that's a pretty low opinion of your court system,

00:02:37.040 isn't it? I suppose another way of looking at it, which is equally corrupt and just as depressing,

00:02:42.960 is that you are not so certain that the judges and prosecutors are corrupt. You're certain that

00:02:49.680 the politicians are absolutely going to do nasty things, corrupt things, including financially.

00:02:55.660 So you're so certain your politicians are crooks that you don't want them charged. Maybe you're

00:03:01.780 crook who brought in this rule. Either way, it's a sign of very, very bad things in your country,

00:03:07.060 isn't it? But that said, political prosecutions do happen. Don't think for a second, for example,

00:03:14.760 of the RCMP laying charges and the attorney general having a two-year circus about Mike Duffy's

00:03:21.280 expense accounts on the eve of Harper's 2015 election. Don't think that was anything other

00:03:26.440 than a political mission. As you know, Mike Duffy was acquitted of all the charges and the

00:03:32.540 corruption in question was the laughable case. I've never heard of this in my life of Nigel Wright,

00:03:38.900 Harper's chief of staff, voluntarily paying to the government over a hundred grand to cover the

00:03:44.360 questionable expenses. Never seen a scandal that involved people paying money into the government

00:03:49.660 before. Compare that circus-like prosecution to, I don't know, say the SNC-Lavalin corruption case,

00:03:57.320 where the justice minister herself resigned in disgust over being pressured by Trudeau in his office to

00:04:03.140 interfere with a criminal trial. Former attorneys general across the country demanded that the RCMP

00:04:09.240 investigate, but they did not. So yeah, don't think our police and prosecutors and courts are squeaky clean.

00:04:16.720 Canada is sinking in the Transparency International Corruption Index. We've fallen under Justin Trudeau.

00:04:25.480 I wonder why the CBC doesn't make a bigger deal about that. I suppose that's part of corruption too,

00:04:30.620 when the watchdogs are pacified. They're turned into lapdogs by paying them. You're pretty sure

00:04:38.780 more corruption will happen if you pay off the journalists who are supposed to be watching. Randy

00:04:44.040 Hillier is one guy who I don't think is corrupt. He's always been outspoken. He's always criticized

00:04:50.800 authority and power. That's why he was sacked by Doug Ford, kicked out of the provincial Ontario

00:04:57.760 Conservative Party. Anyone who called out the lockdowns was. Randy Hillier just wouldn't bend the

00:05:04.540 knee, not to Doug Ford, not to Trudeau, not to public health officials. He was noisy and he, gasp,

00:05:12.260 wouldn't wear a mask. He was a friend of the truckers, which these days is the worst sin of all. So

00:05:19.500 yesterday he was told by police to turn himself in at the Ottawa police police station. But of course

00:05:27.440 he was. I mean, the shocking list of charges against him, including that he allegedly assaulted a police

00:05:34.820 officer. Which is odd because you'd think that would be on camera somewhere. I've never seen it.

00:05:41.660 Randy Hillier himself said he had no idea what that was even referring to. Apparently it came out in the

00:05:47.600 bail hearing yesterday that it was for this, seriously, for pushing open a gate that had been

00:05:54.540 bizarrely placed in the way of pedestrians on Parliament Hill during the trucker convoy.

00:06:00.220 For this? He was charged with assault? Yeah. I mean, this is a stitch up. Listen,

00:06:08.420 we'll hear what the evidence is when the trial comes. Sounds pretty thin to me. Sounds like they've

00:06:14.400 been waiting to take a run at Randy Hillier for a long time. He's mouthy. He criticizes everyone

00:06:20.120 on all sides, including in his own party. And he gave moral support to the truckers. That's

00:06:26.600 tantamount to terrorism, if you ask Justin Trudeau. I'm worried though. Really I am, not just by the

00:06:33.040 arrest and the obviously trumped up charges assaulting police. And we'll talk in a minute

00:06:38.700 about the bail conditions that the judge put on Randy Hillier. It's unacceptable. It's like the bail

00:06:44.680 conditions put on Tamara Lich, the trucker convoy founder. She may not criticize the government

00:06:50.920 or any lockdowns or any mask mandates. She's just not allowed to. That's Putin stuff. That's Castro

00:06:56.960 stuff. I'm upset by the arrest and by the bail conditions and the new role of the police as

00:07:02.500 political police. But much more than that, I'm worried about the rest of us.

00:07:08.740 The national reaction to this, the glee in the press corps, the jubilation amongst politicians

00:07:15.640 of almost every party, by the way, worse of the silence of the so-called conservatives and so-called

00:07:23.280 freedom groups, civil liberties groups, where are they? A politician was arrested on clearly

00:07:29.480 exaggerated grounds, released on bail with a condition that he not criticize the government

00:07:35.700 on social media. And this is taken as it's normal now? Just normal. Is it because of the emergency

00:07:43.720 act and the banana republicification of Canada? It's now accepted that this is how it is now.

00:07:50.240 The seizing of bank accounts, that's just how it is now. The police checkpoints in our capital city,

00:07:56.900 the police being arbiters of political comments. That's normal now? People being arrested for honking

00:08:03.960 like this in Calgary.

00:08:07.980 Hi, sir. Mocha with Rebel Luz. Are you guys getting a ticket for honking?

00:08:12.380 For honking.

00:08:13.200 For honking, right?

00:08:13.860 That guy.

00:08:16.120 Sleep well.

00:08:18.240 Piece of shit.

00:08:19.240 What do you make of this?

00:08:20.420 God, shit. Let's get some fucking friends and friends. 0.94

00:08:23.060 Whether someone walked in their way or we just honked to say thank you. Absolute fucking shit.

00:08:28.720 And you get a ticket for that?

00:08:30.040 Yep.

00:08:30.260 Yeah. It seems like you're not the only one. There are a couple of more cars.

00:08:33.920 Everybody, pull more people over. Absolute tyranny.

00:08:38.960 Trudeau.

00:08:41.420 Wow, that's unbelievable.

00:08:43.120 I'm gonna fucking do that.

00:08:44.040 Take care.

00:08:44.440 What do you make of this? You just honked and now you're getting pulled over.

00:09:04.060 He can't even tell me any more than, oh, there's an injunction. You can't honk your horn.

00:09:10.780 I go, so you can't honk your horn ever? Well, yeah, there's an injunction. So that was his

00:09:15.220 excuse to me. Wow.

00:09:24.940 It's an improver uniform.

00:09:32.500 All the way with it.

00:09:33.880 Thank you.

00:09:34.220 How much is the ticket?

00:09:36.100 89 bucks.

00:09:37.360 Wow.

00:09:37.620 Oh, $81.

00:09:38.760 For honking. And how much did you honk?

00:09:41.260 Oh, I don't know.

00:09:42.640 You don't remember?

00:09:43.660 That one there, maybe honked three times.

00:09:47.220 Well.

00:09:49.360 Isn't this an interesting world, eh?

00:09:51.220 It is. It is. It really is.

00:09:53.000 So here.

00:09:53.360 Yeah, that's $81 right there.

00:09:59.560 Now you can't even honk your horn in Calgary.

00:10:07.720 Oh, freedom!

00:10:08.840 Oh, freedom!

00:10:11.760 Oh, freedom.

00:10:13.080 Oh, freedom.

00:10:13.200 Oh, freedom.

00:10:13.220 Oh, freedom.

00:10:16.960 Oh, freedom.

00:10:18.600 Oh, freedom.

00:10:19.360 Oh, freedom.

00:10:20.360 Oh, freedom.

00:10:21.360 Oh, freedom.

00:10:23.360 In Calgary?

00:10:31.040 The establishment has brought itself into disrepute.

00:10:33.840 Politicians, judges, police, the media, every institution.

00:10:38.500 But where is the general public outcry and outrage?

00:10:43.600 I don't know.

00:10:44.460 Is this now who we are as a country?

00:10:47.120 I hope not.

00:10:48.240 And if we're fine with this,

00:10:49.960 and if no one pushes back politically or legally or journalistically,

00:10:54.360 what next?

00:10:57.020 You think Trudeau and his crew will stop?

00:10:59.440 Why?

00:10:59.920 They're tired of winning?

00:11:02.200 They get hungrier the more they eat,

00:11:05.100 as if increase of appetite had grown by what it fed on.

00:11:08.920 Tyrants don't stop as they get more tyrannical.

00:11:14.660 It sort of speeds up.

00:11:16.160 They're accustomed to things.

00:11:18.100 They're unaccustomed to be challenged anymore.

00:11:22.680 They hate any holdouts.

00:11:24.920 They may have 99% of journalists in their pocket,

00:11:27.760 99% of lawyers and judges,

00:11:29.900 99% of political activists,

00:11:32.160 but they get infuriated by the 1% holdouts.

00:11:36.540 They want more, ever more.

00:11:40.120 I'm worried by that.

00:11:41.180 We'll see what they have on Randy Hillier when the trial comes.

00:11:44.040 I'm skeptical.

00:11:45.460 But even if he's acquitted,

00:11:47.560 the establishment now knows something they didn't know before.

00:11:53.600 They know they can get away with arresting conservative politicians.

00:11:56.520 They're endlessly seeking boundaries,

00:12:00.140 seeking some limit.

00:12:02.640 And two years into this,

00:12:04.060 they still haven't found a limit, have they?

00:12:07.060 Stay with us for more as we talk to Randy Hillier's lawyer names.

00:12:22.180 Well, Randy Hillier is a free man until his trial,

00:12:25.060 but he's not quite free.

00:12:26.940 He's not fully free.

00:12:27.860 In fact, there are some political conditions on his release.

00:12:31.220 Joining us now to talk about the whole thing

00:12:32.860 is Randy Hillier's lawyer, David Anber,

00:12:36.060 who in the past has worked with Rebel News and the Democracy Fund.

00:12:39.180 He joins us now via Skype.

00:12:40.280 David, what a pleasure to see you again.

00:12:42.040 Thanks for making the time.

00:12:43.040 You're so busy between Randy Hillier

00:12:44.940 and your other civil liberties clients.

00:12:47.520 Can you give our viewers an update?

00:12:50.360 What was it like in court,

00:12:52.940 in front of the Justice of the Peace,

00:12:54.100 I understand it was,

00:12:55.660 when the Crown wanted onerous conditions on Randy Hillier?

00:13:00.600 How did that go?

00:13:01.360 Did you negotiate with the prosecutor?

00:13:03.960 Was it a debate in front of a judge?

00:13:05.860 How did you get him out?

00:13:07.660 So it went, Ezra, thanks for having me again.

00:13:09.940 It went through a good part of the day.

00:13:12.520 Early in the morning, into the afternoon,

00:13:14.840 there were some discussions back and forth

00:13:16.760 between the Crown and I

00:13:17.920 on conditions for Randy Hillier's release.

00:13:22.540 I went over the majority of them with Randy

00:13:26.020 and he was fine with them.

00:13:27.360 And now what normally happens

00:13:28.620 is it's either sort of a take it or leave it type situation.

00:13:31.480 Either the person has to agree to all the conditions

00:13:34.020 as finely negotiated

00:13:35.460 or otherwise have a bail hearing

00:13:37.720 where everything is at issue.

00:13:39.580 In this particular case,

00:13:40.960 there was one half of one of the conditions

00:13:43.900 that we could not agree to.

00:13:46.280 And so I got the Crown to agree

00:13:48.460 that we could put that in front of the court

00:13:51.140 and have a hearing on that narrow issue only.

00:13:54.520 And so the issue was whether or not

00:13:56.680 Randy Hillier would be prevented from

00:13:59.340 on social media

00:14:01.200 or through his support of organizations

00:14:03.380 be able to comment on

00:14:05.580 or support anti-mask mandates

00:14:08.420 and anti-vaccine mandate organizations or causes.

00:14:12.260 My argument was that

00:14:14.600 none of those subjects had anything to do

00:14:17.700 with the allegations that were before the court

00:14:20.020 and therefore should not have formed

00:14:21.600 part of his bail hearing.

00:14:23.840 Unfortunately, the justice of the peace

00:14:25.360 disagreed and sided with the Crown on that.

00:14:27.480 But because Randy did not agree to that condition,

00:14:30.960 it remains an option available to us

00:14:33.240 to appeal through the bail review process

00:14:35.420 to go to a higher court

00:14:36.960 and challenge that decision

00:14:38.780 and essentially appeal the finding.

00:14:41.020 Right.

00:14:41.120 So the other typical conditions,

00:14:43.320 my guess is you were able to negotiate things

00:14:45.240 like, for example,

00:14:46.960 sometimes it's called a surety

00:14:48.680 or a certain amount of dough

00:14:51.140 or don't leave the country.

00:14:53.440 Are those conditions publicly known?

00:14:56.580 Are you able to discuss those?

00:14:58.060 Yeah.

00:14:58.360 Yeah.

00:14:58.640 I mean, there's some standard,

00:14:59.800 very simple conditions

00:15:00.740 reside at a specific address

00:15:02.300 and notify the police

00:15:03.380 if there's going to be a change of address.

00:15:05.440 Again, there was never any concern

00:15:06.680 about Randy not coming to court.

00:15:08.540 The concerns were on the so-called

00:15:10.600 second and tertiary grounds

00:15:12.020 dealing with the possibility

00:15:13.700 of further re-offense

00:15:15.180 and also the reputation

00:15:17.080 of the justice system

00:15:18.340 if somebody is released.

00:15:21.000 And so, you know,

00:15:23.000 there were conditions

00:15:24.100 that he can't have contact

00:15:25.220 with people who were organizers

00:15:27.140 of the Freedom Convoy, for example.

00:15:29.600 And that's a fairly ordinary type of condition

00:15:32.700 that when you have a number of people

00:15:34.540 who are charged in relation

00:15:35.880 to the same organization

00:15:38.660 or the same incident,

00:15:41.220 there are normally conditions

00:15:42.640 that the different people

00:15:43.600 can't communicate with one another.

00:15:45.580 Now, were those organizers,

00:15:47.660 were they named a particular list of people?

00:15:51.400 They were.

00:15:52.180 And I mean, some of the names

00:15:53.160 were names that have become household names

00:15:55.380 that we recognize,

00:15:56.300 Tamara Leach, Chris Barber, Pat King.

00:15:59.040 But there are also other names,

00:16:00.600 some of which Randy or I recognize,

00:16:03.480 other ones that weren't quite clear

00:16:05.860 to us who they were,

00:16:06.780 but it could just simply be

00:16:08.200 other individuals

00:16:09.360 who are either facing charges

00:16:11.680 due to their involvement

00:16:13.300 in the Freedom Convoy

00:16:14.380 or maybe they're persons of interest

00:16:16.580 that are currently being investigated

00:16:18.000 by the police.

00:16:19.960 Now, I want to get back

00:16:20.920 to the political speech ban,

00:16:22.760 which concerns me greatly

00:16:23.960 because, I mean, I think, frankly,

00:16:27.280 some of the charges

00:16:28.400 that Randy's facing are laughable.

00:16:31.080 I mean, assault on an officer

00:16:33.120 the fact that Randy

00:16:34.800 didn't even know what that was,

00:16:36.360 didn't even know

00:16:36.800 what they were talking about.

00:16:37.740 And by the way,

00:16:38.800 I just want to tell our viewers

00:16:39.680 I understand why you're here

00:16:41.360 instead of Randy.

00:16:42.560 Randy's a chatty fella,

00:16:44.060 loves to talk.

00:16:44.820 We love talking with him.

00:16:45.900 But, of course,

00:16:47.640 given that there's a restraining order

00:16:50.520 on what he can say,

00:16:51.280 we don't want to get him in trouble

00:16:52.300 and you can speak for him.

00:16:55.660 Right.

00:16:57.260 I think these are trumped up.

00:16:58.740 I think this is political in nature.

00:17:00.200 I think Randy,

00:17:01.320 I'm actually surprised

00:17:02.540 he wasn't jailed

00:17:03.540 the same way Tamera Litch

00:17:04.900 and some of the other characters

00:17:05.820 you've mentioned were jailed.

00:17:08.380 So I think congratulations go to you

00:17:11.020 in large part

00:17:12.540 for negotiating with the prosecutor.

00:17:15.440 But I want to get to the wording.

00:17:18.200 So Randy Hillier

00:17:19.420 is not allowed to criticize

00:17:21.420 mask mandates

00:17:22.900 or vaccine mandates

00:17:24.600 or to talk about those issues

00:17:28.160 on social media.

00:17:30.120 Is that the wording?

00:17:31.620 Or, like, for example,

00:17:33.360 can he talk,

00:17:33.920 he's a member

00:17:34.740 of the legislature of Ontario.

00:17:36.540 Can he talk about them there?

00:17:38.020 Can he,

00:17:38.660 if a reporter for the Toronto Star

00:17:40.260 asks him a question

00:17:41.240 about vaccine mandates,

00:17:43.060 is Randy Hillier

00:17:43.740 allowed to talk to him?

00:17:45.480 Well,

00:17:45.940 that was one of the arguments

00:17:47.780 made by the Crown,

00:17:49.300 which I thought was somewhat

00:17:50.440 of an unpersuasive argument.

00:17:53.060 But the Justice of Peace

00:17:54.460 seemed to cue in on that,

00:17:56.380 saying that he's not,

00:17:57.180 he's not prevented

00:17:58.080 from speaking about these matters.

00:18:00.020 He's prevented from speaking

00:18:01.400 of those matters on social media.

00:18:03.940 But, like,

00:18:04.960 let me help you understand something,

00:18:06.300 because a lot of people actually,

00:18:07.920 I did get some criticism for this,

00:18:09.700 saying that we had actually agreed

00:18:11.340 to the social media ban

00:18:13.960 on referring to the Freedom Convoy

00:18:17.440 and also being able to support

00:18:20.000 the so-called Freedom Convoy

00:18:21.660 or any organization

00:18:22.620 that bears that name.

00:18:24.160 And that is not

00:18:25.260 an unusual bail condition,

00:18:26.720 because whenever the allegation

00:18:28.860 is that somebody was involved

00:18:31.640 with some group or organization

00:18:34.060 that is the basis

00:18:35.260 for the alleged crimes,

00:18:36.640 and I'm not saying

00:18:37.380 he's guilty of those crimes.

00:18:38.900 In fact,

00:18:39.260 I'm saying he's not guilty

00:18:40.900 of those crimes.

00:18:41.940 But where there are charges

00:18:43.360 before the court

00:18:44.140 and the theory of the prosecution

00:18:45.700 is that there was

00:18:46.900 a group of people

00:18:48.200 or an organization

00:18:49.480 or a place

00:18:50.700 or an incident,

00:18:51.240 it's quite common

00:18:52.420 to separate the accused person

00:18:54.240 from that organization,

00:18:55.960 place,

00:18:56.320 group of people,

00:18:56.980 et cetera.

00:18:57.500 So that wasn't unusual.

00:18:58.800 But where it got weird,

00:19:00.500 in my view,

00:19:01.440 was including also

00:19:03.520 a prohibition

00:19:05.000 against speaking

00:19:05.720 about vaccine mandates

00:19:07.800 or mask mandates

00:19:09.680 on social media

00:19:10.860 or supporting a group

00:19:13.580 or organization

00:19:14.340 that is against vaccine mandates

00:19:17.080 or mask mandates.

00:19:18.560 And that, in my view,

00:19:19.640 had no connection

00:19:20.600 to the offenses whatsoever

00:19:22.780 and should not have been

00:19:23.800 part of his bail.

00:19:25.220 I mean, again,

00:19:25.880 it doesn't come as a surprise

00:19:27.900 that I made this argument

00:19:29.380 and I don't believe

00:19:30.200 that the court got it right.

00:19:31.740 Again, I won't say

00:19:32.960 too much on that.

00:19:33.780 I mean, the court

00:19:34.160 can't defend itself

00:19:35.120 or respond to these criticisms,

00:19:37.100 but I'll just say

00:19:38.000 that we are considering

00:19:38.980 an appeal of that decision.

00:19:41.180 Yeah, well, I mean,

00:19:41.680 that's the thing.

00:19:42.300 It's one thing to say,

00:19:43.220 OK, he's charged

00:19:44.080 and he's charged,

00:19:45.040 so stay away from them.

00:19:46.380 That sounds plausible to me.

00:19:47.920 But you cannot criticize masks.

00:19:51.320 I mean, as if that in itself

00:19:53.880 is enough to send someone to jail,

00:19:56.280 that's deeply troubling

00:19:57.700 that the prosecutor

00:19:58.580 would demand it

00:19:59.380 and that a judge would uphold it.

00:20:01.240 And I certainly hope

00:20:02.340 you do appeal that,

00:20:03.800 at least on that.

00:20:04.420 I mean, it seems to me

00:20:06.600 that there's a bit of a madness

00:20:08.440 that's taken over the courts,

00:20:09.800 especially in the city of Ottawa.

00:20:11.400 Like this mania,

00:20:13.140 this phobia,

00:20:14.060 this paranoia.

00:20:15.300 I think they whipped themselves

00:20:17.120 up into a hysterical frenzy.

00:20:19.320 I was there for a few days,

00:20:21.000 not for the whole thing,

00:20:22.460 but it's a lie to say

00:20:23.500 the whole city was locked down.

00:20:25.880 After the first few days,

00:20:27.480 there was a clear lane

00:20:29.180 made on every key road.

00:20:31.380 In fact, after a while,

00:20:32.200 the police were the ones

00:20:33.280 who were blocking

00:20:34.000 most of the roads,

00:20:35.360 saying we're, you know,

00:20:36.740 who were having like drawbridges,

00:20:38.440 practically, to get downtown.

00:20:40.300 It was police who set up

00:20:41.620 100 checkpoints

00:20:42.520 on Parliament Hill.

00:20:44.340 The panic, the mania

00:20:45.960 did not come from the truckers

00:20:48.120 who were playful and joyful

00:20:49.460 and had a festival mode.

00:20:51.080 I think that town

00:20:52.160 went slightly mad.

00:20:54.000 And I think that town

00:20:55.080 has a lot of bureaucrats

00:20:56.220 and liberal politicians.

00:20:58.000 They sort of

00:20:59.000 egged each other on.

00:21:01.020 And I think Randy Hillier

00:21:01.940 and certainly the other truckers

00:21:03.360 are a victim of it.

00:21:04.020 What do you think?

00:21:05.360 Well, I think,

00:21:06.040 I mean, you said it,

00:21:06.920 you went to great lengths

00:21:08.220 to sort of describe

00:21:09.300 the atmosphere

00:21:11.300 in the protest

00:21:12.400 as it actually was.

00:21:14.240 And I've said this before

00:21:15.100 and I'll say it again.

00:21:16.120 There are these two

00:21:17.080 competing realities

00:21:18.720 as to what actually happened.

00:21:20.640 There's the version,

00:21:21.420 as you've indicated,

00:21:22.220 where virtually all roads

00:21:23.700 where truckers

00:21:25.200 had parked their trucks

00:21:26.180 had a lane of traffic

00:21:27.560 to allow emergency vehicles

00:21:29.600 and even ordinary vehicles

00:21:31.380 to pass through.

00:21:32.660 We know there was

00:21:33.320 a lot of honking

00:21:34.120 that was going on

00:21:35.400 and that was disturbing

00:21:36.280 some of the residents.

00:21:38.060 Well, there was an injunction

00:21:39.020 that was obtained

00:21:39.840 and for the most part

00:21:41.080 there was compliance

00:21:41.920 with that injunction.

00:21:43.760 So the Freedom Convoy

00:21:45.120 can't be faulted

00:21:46.140 for, in a general sense,

00:21:48.820 being responsible for that.

00:21:51.060 There was no violence.

00:21:53.300 There was no harassment

00:21:54.880 as some allegations had made.

00:21:57.020 And so it was ostensibly

00:21:58.820 a peaceful protest

00:21:59.860 and that's one reality.

00:22:02.400 And then the other reality

00:22:03.660 that some are saying

00:22:05.340 is that it was a lockdown,

00:22:06.560 an occupation,

00:22:07.280 a blockade,

00:22:08.800 that it was nonstop honking

00:22:10.520 into the night,

00:22:11.680 that it was roads

00:22:12.860 were shut down,

00:22:13.580 that the city was paralyzed,

00:22:15.040 businesses had to close.

00:22:16.780 And this is the narrative

00:22:18.860 that the Crown Attorney's Office

00:22:20.240 is relying on

00:22:21.480 at the bail stage

00:22:23.120 and they ultimately

00:22:24.680 will be continuing that

00:22:26.000 when these matters

00:22:26.660 go to trial.

00:22:27.920 The reality is, though,

00:22:29.500 that when the matters

00:22:30.220 go to trial,

00:22:31.260 they'll have to come

00:22:31.960 with the receipts.

00:22:33.060 They'll have to actually

00:22:33.860 put evidence

00:22:34.560 of these things up.

00:22:35.760 And that's where I think

00:22:36.760 their case is going

00:22:37.520 to be problematic

00:22:38.260 because at the bail stage,

00:22:40.300 the Crown can make

00:22:41.080 these allegations

00:22:41.920 based on an incomplete record

00:22:45.080 and not based on evidence

00:22:46.680 that's tested

00:22:47.380 in a traditional sense

00:22:49.100 through cross-examination,

00:22:51.320 through alternative evidence,

00:22:53.140 through a close look

00:22:54.860 at the evidence.

00:22:55.700 And so once the matters

00:22:56.740 go to trial,

00:22:58.200 this alternate narrative

00:22:59.780 that the Crown prosecutor

00:23:01.360 is using to base

00:23:02.360 its decisions

00:23:03.140 to aggressively pursue

00:23:04.760 detention orders,

00:23:06.440 to aggressively prosecute

00:23:08.120 people who were arrested

00:23:09.220 who chose to remain

00:23:10.280 in the city of Ottawa

00:23:12.180 contrary to what the police

00:23:14.100 told them to do.

00:23:15.880 That narrative is why this is,

00:23:18.600 you've described it as madness,

00:23:19.920 but it's that narrative

00:23:20.680 that is motivating them

00:23:21.820 to prosecute this

00:23:22.900 in the manner

00:23:23.660 that they're doing.

00:23:25.120 And when the time comes

00:23:26.180 that they have to put forward

00:23:27.540 evidence as to this narrative,

00:23:29.980 I think that's where

00:23:30.760 they're going to run

00:23:31.220 into some difficulty.

00:23:32.620 Well, I hope you're right,

00:23:33.660 but I don't know

00:23:34.920 if Randy Hillier

00:23:35.500 can get a fair trial in Ottawa.

00:23:37.240 I mean, we saw

00:23:37.900 what happened to Tamara Litch. 1.00

00:23:39.000 I think it was 18 days in jail.

00:23:41.500 You know, I'm sure

00:23:42.200 it was a coincidence

00:23:43.080 that the first judge

00:23:44.040 was a Liberal Party candidate

00:23:45.780 in a previous election.

00:23:48.320 Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

00:23:50.180 It's like one of those crimes

00:23:52.680 where it's so notorious

00:23:55.480 before trial

00:23:56.960 that you can't get

00:23:57.760 a fair hearing

00:23:58.400 and they take it

00:23:59.000 out of the jurisdiction.

00:23:59.960 They take it to another city

00:24:01.020 sometimes even

00:24:02.020 in another province

00:24:02.820 to get a man 0.94

00:24:03.660 a fair trial.

00:24:04.400 And I don't think

00:24:05.340 Randy Hillier

00:24:05.940 can get a fair trial

00:24:07.440 in the city of Ottawa.

00:24:08.180 I don't think any trucker can.

00:24:09.900 I don't think

00:24:10.260 because I think

00:24:10.940 there is that madness

00:24:11.860 and I think the judges

00:24:13.340 are deeply part of it.

00:24:14.240 I'm impressed

00:24:14.720 that you got Randy

00:24:15.440 out of jail at all.

00:24:17.040 When is the next hearing?

00:24:18.260 I mean, you say

00:24:18.760 you're contemplating

00:24:19.500 a possible appeal

00:24:20.840 or a review of the bail.

00:24:23.340 Is there a scheduled date

00:24:24.700 for an actual

00:24:25.260 substantive hearing

00:24:26.360 on things

00:24:27.200 or a first appearance

00:24:28.080 or what's next?

00:24:29.820 There's a first appearance

00:24:30.760 after release

00:24:31.800 which is on May the 4th

00:24:33.220 and so between now

00:24:34.180 and then

00:24:34.600 is a chance for me

00:24:35.740 to get more disclosure

00:24:37.000 and there's going to be

00:24:37.640 a lot of disclosure

00:24:38.500 in Randy Hillier's case

00:24:39.740 compared to the typical

00:24:41.320 trucker case

00:24:42.060 because the central

00:24:43.860 allegation against Randy

00:24:45.480 was this claim

00:24:46.360 that he had

00:24:47.340 somehow encouraged

00:24:48.520 people to jam up

00:24:49.500 the 911 lines

00:24:50.480 despite he never

00:24:51.380 made reference

00:24:52.380 to 911

00:24:52.920 and his intention

00:24:55.400 as he may testify to

00:24:56.920 was not to have

00:24:59.320 911 jammed up

00:25:00.680 but there are going

00:25:01.200 to be phone calls

00:25:02.080 and recordings

00:25:02.720 of those phone calls

00:25:03.780 that need to be disclosed.

00:25:05.360 There's video evidence

00:25:06.140 that needs to be disclosed.

00:25:07.900 Eventually

00:25:08.260 when all this

00:25:08.880 makes its way

00:25:09.600 to my office

00:25:10.520 I'll have a chance

00:25:11.560 to review that

00:25:12.540 and either before

00:25:13.680 the 4th of May

00:25:14.460 or shortly thereafter

00:25:15.540 I'll be able to discuss

00:25:16.800 with the Crown Prosecutor

00:25:18.860 whoever that may be

00:25:19.880 and coming back

00:25:20.640 to your earlier point Ezra

00:25:21.920 I mean one thing

00:25:23.140 we know about Randy Hillier

00:25:24.320 is a lot of people

00:25:26.000 like Randy Hillier

00:25:27.300 and a lot of people

00:25:28.300 don't like Randy Hillier

00:25:29.780 so that's

00:25:30.500 you take those

00:25:31.540 two different groups

00:25:32.200 and you have a significant

00:25:33.240 majority of the population

00:25:35.160 I would suggest

00:25:36.040 that has very strong opinions

00:25:37.720 on Randy Hillier

00:25:39.040 and there may be

00:25:40.260 there may be a question

00:25:41.260 as to whether or not

00:25:42.240 it should be an outside

00:25:43.060 prosecutor

00:25:43.720 or an outside judge

00:25:44.760 and these are questions

00:25:45.960 which I have not studied

00:25:47.700 closely enough

00:25:48.640 to be able to make

00:25:49.460 any broad claims

00:25:51.760 on the law

00:25:52.320 or advise Randy yet

00:25:54.300 but these are things

00:25:55.160 we're going to be

00:25:55.580 looking at for sure

00:25:56.540 you know what

00:25:57.920 I accept that

00:25:59.060 politicians can commit

00:26:00.460 offenses

00:26:00.880 and they should be prosecuted

00:26:01.940 we don't believe

00:26:02.560 in immunity

00:26:03.460 for politicians

00:26:04.240 I just can't help

00:26:06.220 note

00:26:06.700 the despair

00:26:07.640 the difference

00:26:08.580 between

00:26:09.180 oh let's say

00:26:10.400 Trudeau

00:26:10.840 and his interference

00:26:11.600 in the

00:26:12.560 SNC-Lavalin

00:26:14.300 corruption case

00:26:15.120 which was sustained

00:26:16.560 and you had

00:26:17.140 former attorneys general

00:26:18.700 across the country

00:26:20.020 signing letters

00:26:21.160 to the RCMP

00:26:22.040 saying

00:26:22.480 where are the charges

00:26:24.040 such blatant

00:26:25.800 you know

00:26:27.980 at least it begged

00:26:29.080 an investigation

00:26:29.740 versus

00:26:30.440 dropping the hammer

00:26:32.260 on a backbench

00:26:34.580 MPP

00:26:35.300 who's just a noisy

00:26:36.220 advocate for freedom

00:26:37.200 and I have to say

00:26:38.540 while I'm not

00:26:40.140 prejudging the evidence

00:26:41.120 I haven't seen it

00:26:42.020 it sure feels like

00:26:43.260 a political prisoner

00:26:44.020 I mean especially

00:26:44.740 in the wake

00:26:45.380 of Trudeau's

00:26:46.520 seizing bank accounts

00:26:47.760 of his

00:26:48.140 pointless invocation

00:26:49.940 of the emergencies

00:26:50.800 act

00:26:51.300 of the excessive

00:26:52.400 policing

00:26:52.840 one of our reporters

00:26:53.680 was shot in the leg

00:26:54.740 by an Ottawa police

00:26:56.120 or RCMP

00:26:56.900 I just feel like

00:26:58.040 Canada's really 0.92

00:26:58.660 slipping away

00:26:59.680 on the civil liberties

00:27:00.860 file

00:27:01.180 your job obviously

00:27:02.780 is to focus

00:27:03.440 like a laser

00:27:04.140 on Randy's case

00:27:05.140 and it sounds like

00:27:05.960 you're doing

00:27:06.280 a good job

00:27:06.820 of that

00:27:07.160 do you have any

00:27:07.960 wider political

00:27:08.900 comments

00:27:09.380 about the fact

00:27:10.580 that Canada

00:27:11.200 is sort of

00:27:12.700 you know

00:27:13.420 if we're not

00:27:14.320 shutting down

00:27:14.960 TV stations

00:27:15.880 because we call

00:27:17.420 them propaganda

00:27:18.020 or if we're not

00:27:19.440 deploying a form

00:27:20.620 of martial law

00:27:21.440 or seizing bank

00:27:22.480 accounts

00:27:22.860 we're arresting

00:27:23.920 oppositions

00:27:24.520 or conservative

00:27:25.120 politicians

00:27:25.640 it just really

00:27:26.620 feels like

00:27:27.900 we're not

00:27:28.300 fully free

00:27:29.420 I guess my

00:27:31.420 answer to that

00:27:32.080 Ezra is

00:27:32.900 is the same

00:27:34.460 in large regards

00:27:35.980 as I've said

00:27:36.480 to other questions

00:27:37.300 this is in many

00:27:38.780 ways a normal

00:27:39.800 day at the office

00:27:40.540 for me

00:27:41.000 is that standing

00:27:42.200 up for individual

00:27:43.100 rights and freedoms

00:27:44.100 is something I do

00:27:45.260 in every single

00:27:46.060 case

00:27:46.500 you see these

00:27:47.560 in impaired

00:27:47.980 driving cases

00:27:48.840 we see this

00:27:49.680 in cases

00:27:50.100 where the police

00:27:50.640 interrogate somebody

00:27:51.640 and engage in

00:27:52.780 methods that

00:27:53.460 trample on their

00:27:54.420 rights

00:27:54.780 and so yes

00:27:55.900 there is certainly

00:27:56.580 a political element

00:27:57.580 to the

00:27:58.500 to the incidences

00:27:59.680 that led

00:28:00.300 to the arrests

00:28:01.180 on February 18th

00:28:02.320 and 19th

00:28:03.060 there's no doubt

00:28:03.960 about that

00:28:04.600 but the question

00:28:05.680 is we have a

00:28:06.480 charter of rights

00:28:07.120 and freedoms

00:28:07.680 that guarantees

00:28:08.520 certain rights

00:28:09.240 freedom of assembly

00:28:10.140 freedom of peaceful

00:28:11.420 assembly

00:28:11.860 freedom of speech

00:28:12.900 and this case

00:28:14.840 is just another

00:28:15.580 iteration

00:28:16.160 of a case

00:28:17.320 where the government

00:28:18.060 is overreaching

00:28:20.160 and seeking

00:28:21.400 to prosecute

00:28:22.300 somebody in

00:28:22.920 violation of

00:28:23.640 those constitutional

00:28:24.400 rights

00:28:24.760 and so what

00:28:25.560 I'm doing

00:28:25.900 in this case

00:28:26.520 is in many

00:28:27.260 ways the same

00:28:28.120 as what I

00:28:28.540 would do

00:28:28.800 in a vast

00:28:29.420 number of

00:28:29.760 other cases

00:28:30.340 that I argue

00:28:31.300 it's standing

00:28:31.800 up for individual

00:28:32.520 rights and liberties

00:28:33.440 well there you

00:28:34.780 have it

00:28:35.100 we like to see

00:28:35.800 it thanks for

00:28:36.400 fighting for freedom

00:28:37.240 and fighting for

00:28:37.840 Randy

00:28:38.080 David Amber

00:28:39.040 keep up the

00:28:39.960 great work

00:28:40.420 thank you Ezra

00:28:41.840 all right

00:28:42.540 stay with us

00:28:43.640 before I have

00:28:44.360 hey welcome back

00:28:57.280 your viewer

00:28:58.220 MailBearFree200

00:28:59.260 says Tamara's

00:29:00.700 bail conditions

00:29:01.720 are what all of

00:29:03.400 us Canadians

00:29:03.900 will be under

00:29:04.580 once the

00:29:05.460 internet censorship

00:29:06.500 bill gets passed

00:29:07.840 you know what

00:29:10.260 that's that

00:29:11.160 sounds like a

00:29:11.780 pretty dark

00:29:12.420 prophecy but

00:29:13.220 I think that's

00:29:14.200 the direction

00:29:14.560 it's going

00:29:14.940 and like I

00:29:15.360 say there

00:29:16.340 hasn't been

00:29:16.860 any blockage

00:29:17.720 yet I mean

00:29:18.180 the United

00:29:18.540 States as I

00:29:19.360 point out to

00:29:19.860 anyone who

00:29:20.220 listen very

00:29:21.880 quickly the

00:29:22.420 Supreme Court

00:29:22.940 weighed in

00:29:23.500 on some

00:29:24.020 lockdowns and

00:29:25.020 I read the

00:29:25.780 cases they're

00:29:26.220 very succinct

00:29:26.920 very short

00:29:27.540 unlike our

00:29:28.060 Canadian

00:29:28.400 rulings

00:29:28.900 beautifully

00:29:30.900 written there

00:29:32.120 was one case

00:29:32.560 out of

00:29:32.760 California it

00:29:33.540 was a

00:29:33.780 lockdown order

00:29:34.420 very easy to

00:29:35.720 find Gavin

00:29:36.180 Newsom is

00:29:37.440 named in

00:29:37.920 it

00:29:38.060 he brought

00:29:40.320 in some

00:29:40.620 lockdowns

00:29:41.280 that applied

00:29:42.620 to singing

00:29:43.520 in churches

00:29:44.220 but not

00:29:45.320 singing in

00:29:45.900 Hollywood talent

00:29:46.800 shows like

00:29:47.440 I don't know

00:29:48.140 American Isle

00:29:48.660 if that's still

00:29:49.180 on and the

00:29:51.160 judges ruled

00:29:51.940 that you can't

00:29:53.480 ban singing

00:29:54.080 in churches

00:29:54.640 but allow it

00:29:55.640 in a Hollywood

00:29:57.080 production so

00:29:58.200 they were striking

00:29:58.880 down these

00:29:59.420 lockdowns and

00:30:00.080 they had the

00:30:01.000 same thing in

00:30:01.660 Massachusetts

00:30:02.260 and the Supreme

00:30:03.460 Court got

00:30:03.900 involved early

00:30:04.680 and often

00:30:05.500 and it

00:30:06.120 wasn't shy

00:30:06.660 of striking

00:30:07.020 things down

00:30:07.680 in Canada

00:30:10.300 we had the

00:30:10.800 same exemptions

00:30:11.800 I remember

00:30:12.400 when the

00:30:13.320 bachelor rented

00:30:14.140 out the

00:30:14.520 Jasper Park

00:30:15.180 Lodge in

00:30:15.840 Alberta

00:30:16.220 and they

00:30:17.240 were having

00:30:17.520 hundreds of

00:30:18.600 people

00:30:19.200 breaking the

00:30:21.980 six foot

00:30:22.500 separation rule

00:30:23.380 let me put it

00:30:23.920 that way

00:30:24.380 and that was

00:30:25.480 perfectly fine

00:30:26.180 while Pastor

00:30:27.000 Arthur Pavlovsky

00:30:28.000 was in jail

00:30:28.760 for opening

00:30:29.860 his church

00:30:30.440 see if we

00:30:32.200 if we had

00:30:32.900 an American

00:30:33.380 the American

00:30:33.800 Supreme Court

00:30:34.440 that would

00:30:35.160 have been

00:30:35.360 struck down

00:30:35.960 not a single

00:30:37.400 important Canadian

00:30:38.540 lockdown provision

00:30:39.480 has been struck

00:30:40.080 down by the

00:30:40.460 courts

00:30:40.620 not one

00:30:41.260 how free

00:30:42.140 are we

00:30:42.840 Les Bialniak 0.91

00:30:46.960 said we elect

00:30:48.660 people to uphold

00:30:49.240 the Constitution

00:30:49.680 first

00:30:50.360 then uphold

00:30:51.360 the legal laws

00:30:52.080 of the land

00:30:52.600 that were voted

00:30:53.260 for by our

00:30:54.540 representatives

00:30:55.160 when will a

00:30:56.240 politician have

00:30:56.880 the manhood

00:30:57.560 to prosecute

00:30:58.660 politicians

00:30:59.180 who have

00:31:00.480 broken the

00:31:00.940 law

00:31:01.140 sadly the

00:31:01.720 courts are

00:31:02.280 appointed

00:31:02.760 not voted

00:31:03.700 on by the

00:31:04.180 people

00:31:04.420 I'm not sure

00:31:06.560 if I support

00:31:07.260 voting for

00:31:08.600 judges

00:31:09.020 I don't think

00:31:10.080 I do

00:31:10.480 I'll have to

00:31:11.440 think about

00:31:11.780 that some

00:31:12.240 more

00:31:12.520 and we

00:31:15.060 don't want

00:31:15.340 to criminalize

00:31:16.460 differences of

00:31:17.420 political opinion

00:31:18.040 but we want

00:31:20.040 to strike down

00:31:20.920 laws or

00:31:21.640 policies or

00:31:22.320 government

00:31:22.560 programs that

00:31:23.160 are unconstitutional

00:31:23.920 that has not

00:31:24.900 happened as I

00:31:25.460 just outlined

00:31:26.120 I think it is

00:31:28.140 outrageous that

00:31:28.880 Justin Trudeau

00:31:29.400 has broken the

00:31:29.920 conflict of

00:31:30.380 interest act

00:31:30.820 more than

00:31:31.120 any other

00:31:31.520 prime minister

00:31:33.000 in history

00:31:33.360 in fact more

00:31:33.820 than all others

00:31:34.320 combined

00:31:34.820 and what does

00:31:35.780 he get a

00:31:36.060 $500 fine

00:31:36.960 for that

00:31:37.480 I think that

00:31:38.740 more and more

00:31:39.280 the courts

00:31:39.740 and prosecutors

00:31:40.240 and police

00:31:40.640 are being

00:31:41.160 politicized

00:31:41.980 I don't think

00:31:43.000 electing judges

00:31:43.780 is the answer

00:31:44.420 though

00:31:44.680 someone with

00:31:46.520 the nickname

00:31:46.960 mocking shout

00:31:47.720 says about

00:31:48.840 my interview

00:31:49.600 with Keith

00:31:50.240 Wilson

00:31:50.560 and seizing

00:31:52.400 bank accounts

00:31:52.960 good lord

00:31:54.100 anyone who has

00:31:55.000 any sort of

00:31:55.780 respect for the

00:31:56.300 concept of privacy

00:31:57.160 should be enraged

00:31:58.740 at this

00:31:59.320 well privacy

00:32:00.780 is part of it

00:32:01.580 but also

00:32:02.260 property rights

00:32:03.260 and due process

00:32:04.400 and my god

00:32:05.720 the police

00:32:06.380 literally just

00:32:07.220 read a news

00:32:08.740 story and said

00:32:09.500 everyone in this

00:32:10.160 news story

00:32:10.640 sees their bank

00:32:11.440 accounts

00:32:11.840 everything's wrong

00:32:13.300 with that

00:32:13.800 it's troubling

00:32:17.140 times

00:32:17.500 and I

00:32:17.860 in some ways

00:32:19.900 it feels like

00:32:20.540 things are

00:32:20.940 loosening up

00:32:21.720 mask mandates

00:32:22.540 are dropped

00:32:22.920 in most parts

00:32:23.700 of the country

00:32:24.300 vaccine passports

00:32:26.460 are dropped

00:32:26.840 in most parts

00:32:27.320 of the country

00:32:27.580 but remember

00:32:28.320 there's still

00:32:29.140 a vaccine

00:32:29.580 requirement

00:32:30.000 to leave

00:32:30.360 the country

00:32:30.740 to get on

00:32:31.140 a plane

00:32:31.400 to take

00:32:31.720 a train

00:32:31.980 to take

00:32:32.260 a ferry

00:32:32.540 boat

00:32:32.740 people are

00:32:33.680 still being

00:32:33.980 fired

00:32:34.380 for not

00:32:34.760 being

00:32:34.920 vaxxed

00:32:35.380 so it's

00:32:36.280 still terrible

00:32:36.800 but don't

00:32:39.540 think for a

00:32:39.980 second they

00:32:40.320 won't bring

00:32:40.660 it all back

00:32:41.140 in if they

00:32:41.660 come up

00:32:42.600 with the

00:32:43.360 omega wave

00:32:45.760 or whatever

00:32:46.400 the crisis

00:32:47.420 of the moment

00:32:47.940 is and

00:32:48.320 unfortunately

00:32:48.760 I feel like

00:32:49.320 they've trained

00:32:49.780 the population

00:32:50.500 like Pavlov's

00:32:51.880 dog to

00:32:52.400 respond to them

00:32:53.840 let me leave

00:32:56.840 you with our

00:32:57.400 video of the

00:32:57.780 day by

00:33:03.380 in Toronto

00:33:04.420 pretty hopeful

00:33:05.520 I'll leave you

00:33:06.000 with this

00:33:13.540 David Menzies

00:33:14.220 for Rebel

00:33:14.760 news here

00:33:15.580 in Toronto

00:33:16.120 well folks

00:33:16.660 I'm at the

00:33:17.420 rally in

00:33:18.400 Don Valley

00:33:19.100 it's Pierre

00:33:20.100 Polyev

00:33:20.740 he's dropped

00:33:21.260 by Toronto

00:33:21.940 as part of

00:33:22.920 his cross

00:33:23.840 country tour

00:33:24.600 and he just

00:33:25.780 wrapped up

00:33:26.260 speaking

00:33:26.660 he touched

00:33:27.080 on many

00:33:27.700 subjects

00:33:28.300 fiscal

00:33:29.120 responsibility

00:33:30.060 energy

00:33:31.120 independence

00:33:31.700 for Canada

00:33:32.440 striking out

00:33:34.080 against

00:33:34.420 wokeism

00:33:35.240 and censorship

00:33:36.520 and a lot

00:33:38.400 of he got

00:33:39.200 several standing

00:33:40.380 ovations from

00:33:41.260 people right now

00:33:42.180 in a lineup

00:33:42.780 to meet him

00:33:43.820 and actually

00:33:45.100 some people

00:33:45.640 are here

00:33:45.980 to buy

00:33:46.580 conservative

00:33:47.320 memberships

00:33:48.780 now we were

00:33:49.820 told by his

00:33:50.500 handlers

00:33:50.960 he is not

00:33:52.080 taking any

00:33:52.660 questions today

00:33:53.380 he has to leave

00:33:54.000 right away

00:33:54.500 to Hamilton

00:33:55.320 so we're just

00:33:56.140 going to speak

00:33:56.680 to some of

00:33:57.560 the folks

00:33:58.000 that sat

00:33:58.560 through the

00:33:59.000 speech

00:33:59.320 and see

00:34:00.460 what they

00:34:00.800 have to say

00:34:01.520 about the

00:34:02.940 man who

00:34:03.520 wants to be

00:34:04.300 our next

00:34:05.280 Prime Minister

00:34:06.160 dictatorships

00:34:08.080 with no

00:34:08.520 environmental

00:34:09.060 standards

00:34:09.640 whatsoever

00:34:10.220 are filling

00:34:10.700 their pockets

00:34:11.440 with money

00:34:12.240 that should

00:34:12.620 be used

00:34:12.960 for paychecks

00:34:13.720 for Canadian

00:34:14.360 workers

00:34:14.840 and when we

00:34:15.480 get the gatekeepers

00:34:16.300 out of the way

00:34:16.820 those workers

00:34:17.540 will have

00:34:17.920 those paychecks

00:34:18.660 what struck

00:34:22.280 you the most

00:34:22.840 about what he

00:34:23.320 had to say

00:34:23.740 today

00:34:24.040 I liked

00:34:24.740 everything he

00:34:25.340 had to say

00:34:25.960 I'm just

00:34:26.640 hoping that

00:34:27.260 you will

00:34:27.740 follow through

00:34:28.280 if elected

00:34:29.040 because we've

00:34:29.760 been waiting

00:34:30.100 for two years

00:34:30.700 to hear something

00:34:31.400 like this

00:34:32.040 freedom

00:34:32.500 it's all about

00:34:33.740 the freedom

00:34:34.220 freedom for

00:34:35.140 Canadians

00:34:35.580 freedom for

00:34:37.180 Canada

00:34:37.580 I mean

00:34:38.200 I've been here

00:34:39.860 30 years

00:34:40.600 and I've never

00:34:41.260 seen the

00:34:41.840 country

00:34:42.240 where it's

00:34:43.200 at now

00:34:43.620 I'm always

00:34:44.340 interested in

00:34:44.940 what Pierre

00:34:45.300 Polyevs is

00:34:46.400 out there to

00:34:47.140 say

00:34:47.300 he has a lot

00:34:47.820 of unique

00:34:48.200 messages out

00:34:49.080 there

00:34:49.220 but I find

00:34:49.840 he focuses

00:34:50.360 on the

00:34:51.060 economic

00:34:51.640 perspective

00:34:52.220 when there

00:34:53.860 is the

00:34:54.380 left out

00:34:54.820 dimension

00:34:55.640 of the

00:34:56.320 social aspect

00:34:57.100 of what

00:34:57.780 we're about

00:34:58.360 to face

00:34:58.740 having a

00:34:59.320 leader

00:34:59.560 who actually

00:35:00.840 stands for

00:35:01.400 the people

00:35:01.800 and gives

00:35:02.560 people the

00:35:03.000 democracy

00:35:03.440 rights

00:35:03.940 and power

00:35:05.220 as well

00:35:05.660 we work

00:35:06.480 together as a

00:35:07.000 team

00:35:07.180 not just

00:35:07.780 you know

00:35:08.460 we had

00:35:08.960 a lot of

00:35:09.400 problems with

00:35:09.820 Justin Trudeau

00:35:10.500 in the past

00:35:11.040 with you know

00:35:11.880 taking those

00:35:12.420 rights away

00:35:13.260 from the

00:35:13.540 people and

00:35:14.280 people having

00:35:15.080 power to

00:35:15.600 actually have

00:35:16.060 democracy

00:35:16.460 so that's

00:35:17.460 something that

00:35:17.720 really spoke

00:35:18.080 to me

00:35:18.280 and also

00:35:18.740 the inflation

00:35:19.780 that's going

00:35:20.540 on that's a

00:35:21.200 big thing for

00:35:21.760 me as well

00:35:22.280 many many

00:35:22.840 things actually

00:35:23.460 but what I

00:35:24.120 do believe

00:35:25.420 now is

00:35:26.280 he's reinstilled

00:35:27.700 my faith

00:35:28.460 in Canada

00:35:29.200 and it's a

00:35:29.660 faith which I've

00:35:30.100 lost

00:35:30.400 so

00:35:31.520 by regards

00:35:32.380 Rebel News

00:35:32.840 I appreciate

00:35:33.400 your guys'

00:35:33.920 effort too

00:35:34.280 and your honesty

00:35:34.780 on a lot

00:35:35.360 of subjects

00:35:35.900 of which

00:35:36.940 many governments

00:35:37.980 are not

00:35:38.480 truthful

00:35:39.160 or they hide

00:35:40.760 when I go to

00:35:41.340 work every

00:35:41.840 morning I see

00:35:42.780 people smoking

00:35:44.680 drugs on the

00:35:45.980 transit and I

00:35:47.280 go through

00:35:47.740 numerous delays

00:35:48.700 because someone's

00:35:49.900 going through

00:35:50.360 some kind of

00:35:51.060 crisis and

00:35:52.280 we see encampments

00:35:54.220 in our parks

00:35:55.060 and safe injection

00:35:56.140 sites where they

00:35:57.040 ought not to be

00:35:57.980 and I just

00:35:59.240 wonder what his

00:36:00.120 plan is versus

00:36:01.160 the Liberal

00:36:02.120 plan and their

00:36:03.500 progressive policies

00:36:04.600 that aren't

00:36:05.180 exactly serving

00:36:06.220 our communities

00:36:06.980 I liked what he

00:36:07.880 had to say

00:36:08.480 like I said

00:36:09.520 it resonated

00:36:10.000 with me

00:36:10.400 but I'm just

00:36:11.200 wondering is this

00:36:12.340 going to happen

00:36:12.880 is it going to

00:36:13.380 come true

00:36:13.760 is he going to

00:36:14.260 be able to

00:36:14.680 deliver all these

00:36:15.420 things that he

00:36:15.960 said I like the

00:36:16.660 idea of bringing

00:36:18.000 you know the

00:36:18.700 oils back here

00:36:19.480 the jobs back

00:36:20.160 here for Canadians

00:36:21.000 there's a lot of

00:36:22.020 things that he

00:36:22.420 said that I

00:36:22.840 really liked

00:36:23.480 now we just

00:36:24.800 got to wait

00:36:25.340 and see what

00:36:26.020 happens

00:36:26.360 so if a

00:36:27.400 bureaucrat sees

00:36:28.260 you say something

00:36:29.160 that they think

00:36:29.900 might lead to a

00:36:30.600 political outcome

00:36:31.340 that's not good

00:36:32.000 for them

00:36:32.500 they could put you

00:36:33.520 in jail for that

00:36:34.380 forget it

00:36:35.620 that is an attack

00:36:36.460 on our freedom

00:36:37.120 we live in the

00:36:39.100 free country here

00:36:40.020 we have the right

00:36:41.540 to decide what we

00:36:42.540 see and say

00:36:44.000 a Polyev government 0.99

00:36:45.440 will repeal the

00:36:46.540 anti-free speech

00:36:47.640 laws and allow

00:36:48.540 Canadians to think

00:36:49.560 of themselves

00:36:50.040 do you trust the

00:36:53.260 mainstream media to

00:36:54.300 give Pierre Polyev a

00:36:55.420 fair shake

00:36:55.940 no no I don't

00:36:58.160 no so I appreciate

00:36:59.300 your efforts in that

00:36:59.900 regards

00:37:00.340 in fact there was a

00:37:01.460 story in the star

00:37:02.180 today quoting

00:37:03.660 anonymously of course

00:37:05.040 a senior conservative

00:37:06.120 official who was

00:37:07.320 concerned about

00:37:08.280 Mr. Polyev delivering

00:37:11.160 juvenile political

00:37:12.780 theater did you see

00:37:13.880 anything today that

00:37:14.760 was juvenile

00:37:15.240 if anything

00:37:16.040 I'm not theatrical

00:37:17.960 at all

00:37:18.340 and I was

00:37:19.280 motivated by his

00:37:20.040 speech I think

00:37:20.380 he's honest I

00:37:21.040 think he's an

00:37:21.620 actual honest

00:37:22.980 representation of

00:37:23.960 himself and I'm

00:37:25.320 going to vote for

00:37:25.840 him and I'm

00:37:26.340 actually going to

00:37:26.740 push my peers and

00:37:27.580 friends to at least

00:37:29.280 consider voting for

00:37:30.060 him I hope he gets

00:37:30.640 in matter of fact I'm

00:37:31.520 going to go buy a

00:37:31.960 membership right now

00:37:32.520 for myself and my

00:37:33.060 wife

00:37:33.320 thank you very much

00:37:34.940 sir

00:37:35.160 yes and no

00:37:36.320 no

00:37:37.020 no because I feel

00:37:38.800 like a lot of the

00:37:39.500 mainstream media is

00:37:40.440 funded by you know

00:37:41.460 liberals and you know

00:37:42.860 those follies and

00:37:43.740 stuff like that so

00:37:44.760 and they're just

00:37:45.360 repressing us and we

00:37:46.420 need to stand up

00:37:47.240 against them and we

00:37:48.720 need to demand our

00:37:49.680 freedom it's ours and

00:37:51.480 they can't take it

00:37:52.240 did you see anything

00:37:53.160 that was juvenile

00:37:54.560 political theater today

00:37:55.600 absolutely not I

00:37:56.580 thought he did a

00:37:57.220 great job he gave a

00:37:58.480 great speech he

00:37:59.220 touched on a lot of

00:38:00.180 subjects that

00:38:00.860 everybody's been

00:38:01.900 wanting to hear like

00:38:03.160 the things that we

00:38:03.860 are concerned about

00:38:04.560 every single Canadian

00:38:05.480 citizen should be

00:38:06.320 concerned about these

00:38:07.480 are the things that

00:38:08.160 are important to all

00:38:08.840 of us

00:38:09.240 no he's pretty honest I

00:38:10.660 have to say like he

00:38:11.820 just seems like a

00:38:12.560 real well-rounded man

00:38:14.560 who's very honest and

00:38:15.620 wants for the people

00:38:16.420 is that what you

00:38:17.380 witness today juvenile

00:38:18.400 political theater not

00:38:19.680 at all I saw up here

00:38:20.840 uniting people bringing

00:38:22.420 people together and

00:38:23.640 you can see well the

00:38:25.300 CBC is not going to

00:38:26.040 give them a fair shake

00:38:26.780 and neither are the

00:38:28.520 other media that's been

00:38:29.380 paid for by by Trudeau

00:38:31.720 they're bought and

00:38:34.120 paid for and they're

00:38:34.940 not going to support

00:38:35.580 the guy that's going to

00:38:36.400 bring unity to our

00:38:38.300 country

00:38:38.700 yeah he had quite a

00:38:39.900 line when he said oh

00:38:40.980 I just found a

00:38:41.620 billion dollars

00:38:42.260 defund the CBC I

00:38:43.640 thought the roof was

00:38:44.760 going to blow off the

00:38:45.720 the conference area

00:38:47.380 oh and I just found

00:38:48.340 another billion dollars

00:38:49.360 we're going to defund

00:38:50.180 the CBC

00:38:50.800 certainly he is saying

00:38:58.240 so many right things

00:38:59.640 but are you worried

00:39:01.500 man at all that we

00:39:03.020 saw the same thing with

00:39:04.180 Aaron O'Toole he said

00:39:05.440 he was a true blue

00:39:06.360 conservative once he

00:39:07.420 became leader he turned

00:39:08.940 into a red Tory do you

00:39:10.720 think Pierre is indeed

00:39:12.020 coming as advertised

00:39:13.180 yes I feel like he's

00:39:15.380 very educated and I

00:39:16.580 feel like he made his

00:39:17.680 you know well-rounded

00:39:19.500 standing in Parliament

00:39:20.580 over time even with the

00:39:22.380 pandemic even before

00:39:23.400 that I feel like he stays

00:39:25.320 true to his character

00:39:26.100 and true to the people

00:39:27.720 and what he says he

00:39:28.600 follows through for what

00:39:30.200 we've seen I watch a lot

00:39:31.280 of him in like Parliament

00:39:32.460 as well the House of

00:39:33.400 Commons and I feel like

00:39:34.700 he's a little stronger
