Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ A Stephen Harper cabinet minister hires Gerald Butts and the CBC to come up with a Great Reset for Alberta. No thanks.

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I'm going to talk about an old friend of mine. I haven't seen him in a

00:00:03.040 while, but I saw him pop up with a new plan he has for an Alberta reset. Sounds a bit like the

00:00:10.300 Great Reset. And if you think maybe I'm stretching there, Monty is inviting to a big conference,

00:00:18.820 not only Gerald Butts, but Mark Carney of the World Economic Forum. Monty Solberg is hosting

00:00:25.420 a Great Reset conference for Alberta. And the guest of honor is Gerald Butts and Mark Carney.

00:00:32.060 And it is so gross, and I'll take you through it today. It's just unbelievable.

00:00:37.400 The podcast will be interesting, but I want to encourage you to get the video version of the

00:00:40.900 podcast because I want to show you with your own eyes the website where Monty promotes this. I want

00:00:46.060 you to see. I'm not making it up. I'm not exaggerating. You've got to see this. And to see it, get the

00:01:13.740 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:01:21.100 Tonight, a Stephen Harper cabinet minister hires Gerald Butts and the CBC to come up with a great

00:01:31.680 reset for Alberta. Ah, no thanks. It's June 22nd, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:36.660 You're ready for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:51.100 One of the important concepts about being a lawyer is that you don't have to agree with your client

00:01:58.220 in order to represent them. That's really important in criminal law especially, even though it's

00:02:04.480 sometimes hard to understand. I mean, if someone is charged with an absolutely odious and brutal crime,

00:02:11.660 we're repulsed by him and those connected to him. And imagine some lawyer who's actually trying to

00:02:18.580 keep him free by any legal means, any detail, any technicality or loophole. How could we not hate

00:02:25.940 such a lawyer, too? I mean, imagine being the lawyers who defended Paul Bernardo and Carla Homolko.

00:02:34.060 Just atrocious. Or if you're not old enough to remember them, think about someone who didn't commit

00:02:39.940 murder, but did gross things. Just think about Xi'an Gomeshi, the serial abuser, violent thug, 0.95

00:02:46.920 who used his CBC show as a sort of a dating service, a pipeline, to gather impressionable young women. 0.53

00:02:55.280 And then he'd ask them out on dates. And then he'd take them back to his place. And he would punch them

00:03:00.660 in the face. He would choke them and beat them again and again. And the CBC heard about it. 1.00

00:03:06.700 And they helped cover it up. Imagine being that scumbag's lawyer. Well, Marie Hanein is her name, 1.00

00:03:16.180 probably the best criminal lawyer in Toronto. And she defended this sick thug. And she got him off. 0.99

00:03:23.720 Oh, sorry. Bad choice of words. And some feminists attacked her for that. But she was right and they 1.00

00:03:33.720 were wrong. I mean, obviously, Hanein is not for beating women. She's for the idea of innocent 1.00

00:03:39.780 until proven guilty. That everyone deserves a lawyer. In fact, it's a civil right. And the system

00:03:46.360 needs it. Both sides need to be argued in a zealous way. No stone left unturned. And then a neutral,

00:03:53.340 unbiased judge or jury weighs it on a scale. And if we don't believe an accused criminal deserves a

00:03:59.960 lawyer, and a good lawyer at that, then why bother even having a trial? I mean, if you're so certain,

00:04:07.440 well, just convict him. No. One of the fundamental features of our legal system is to hear both sides

00:04:14.140 of the story. In Latin, there's a phrase, adi ultram partum. Hear the other side first. Hear the

00:04:19.900 other side first. Okay, thank you for indulging that little detour. Don't judge a lawyer by his clients.

00:04:26.340 I think you could probably say the same thing about other professions, too. Like a doctor. A doctor

00:04:31.220 treats someone, even if they're a bad person. That's sort of what doctors do. Someone gets shot

00:04:36.580 up in a drug gang war. You still treat them at the hospital. I think you have an ethical obligation.

00:04:45.460 Now, this image here is a little bit hard to see, but it's a New York Times story from about 30 years

00:04:51.300 ago. The headline, if you can make it out, is a Klansman's Black Lawyer and a Principal. Just FYI,

00:05:00.660 civil liberties groups like the ACLU used to send Black lawyers and Jewish lawyers to defend the KKK.

00:05:08.820 And I think they made the point beautifully. It's what I was saying about Marie Hanein to indicate that

00:05:13.940 they obviously didn't support the anti-Black and anti-Jewish views of their clients. They were there to

00:05:19.820 defend free speech on principle and also to support the principle that everyone has the right to a

00:05:24.980 lawyer, even if they're wrong, even if they are a criminal. In fact, those are the ones who need a

00:05:30.040 lawyer the most. Okay, there you have it. And I tell you all that, even though I think you probably knew

00:05:36.000 it, because you can represent someone without agreeing with them. If you know the law, if you're an

00:05:43.520 officer of the court, if you're a doctor, whatever, you should help someone navigate those systems. It's

00:05:48.260 actually your duty. But how about representing someone, associating with someone, promoting

00:05:56.220 someone, not in the law, not when their life or liberty hangs on it, not when they're charged by

00:06:03.760 the government with a crime, not when you could save them from injustice or even imprisonment. But how

00:06:09.580 about when you just choose to affiliate with them and choose to associate with them, not out of a

00:06:16.500 love for justice, but because you're being paid a ton of money? And when you're not selling your

00:06:22.420 knowledge of legal precedents and legal procedures, but rather you're selling your connections and your

00:06:29.300 influence, no special professional skills, no technical knowledge, you're being retained by someone

00:06:35.880 because you used to be a senior politician. So you know who's who in Ottawa, who's who in politics,

00:06:42.520 in the permanent civil service. You have a private reputation in the form of connections to insiders,

00:06:49.280 and you have a public reputation in that some of the public trusts you because you served in high

00:06:55.180 office and you built up a certain reputation. What if you're renting out that reputation now?

00:07:01.040 And not to save someone from prison, but just to get rich, to get them rich.

00:07:08.680 And they'll pay you to pump their tires, to help them get what they want politically. Is it different

00:07:13.880 then? I think it's very different. I want to talk for a minute with Gerald Butz, Trudeau's closest advisor

00:07:25.880 and his friend since university days. Butz was the one, as you know, who interfered with the SNC-Lavalin

00:07:33.100 prosecution. Just to refresh your memory, it was a big company, very corrupt, notorious for paying bribes

00:07:39.720 to get government contracts in Canada and around the world. Just awful, based in Quebec. And they were 1.00

00:07:46.640 being prosecuted by the Canadian government for a massive corruption case, which they admitted to,

00:07:52.420 by the way, how could they deny it? They didn't deny it. And Gerald Butz kept pressuring when he was

00:08:00.760 working for Trudeau, he was pressuring the Justice Department to drop the prosecution, pressuring them

00:08:07.800 to cut a deal, to stop the trial. I wonder if he was worried about certain facts coming out. I mean,

00:08:12.920 who knows? Maybe other Quebec politicians had taken bribes from SNC-Lavalin. Of course they did.

00:08:19.480 And maybe Gerald Butz didn't want that to come out in court. I don't know. So Butz interfered with a

00:08:26.660 live criminal court case. He tried to get it scuppered. He tried to get it thrown out. He kept

00:08:32.420 harassing Jody Wilson-Raybould, Trudeau's most ethical justice minister. And in the end, she was fired

00:08:40.060 from her position because she wouldn't go along with this. And then she quit cabinet over it.

00:08:44.820 Gerald Butz was trying to rig a trial. That's straight out of a Sopranos episode, the mafia

00:08:51.540 trying to get a friend out of trouble. He tried to pressure the prosecutors to drop criminal charges

00:08:56.840 against Trudeau's friends. He was rightly thrown out of the PMO for that into a very soft landing,

00:09:03.140 I should say, by something called the Eurasia Group, a New York City lobby firm where he had

00:09:08.380 directed sole source contracts. That's pretty convenient. So he actually was exiled from the

00:09:13.960 country in a way, which is a shame because he should have been prosecuted, I think, for what

00:09:18.320 he did. He was disgraced. But he's being rehabilitated now. He's being normalized now,

00:09:25.640 while Jody Wilson-Raybould, the most honest woman in cabinet in a generation, is being marginalized.

00:09:31.960 When was the last time you even heard from her? I think that shows the decline of Canadian 1.00

00:09:36.140 democracy a bit. Well, the head of the RCMP, I don't know if you saw this news,

00:09:42.320 Brenda Luckey, well, she sees what you and I see. She sees what is rewarded and she sees what is

00:09:49.560 punished. So she has corrupted the RCMP in the style of Trudeau and Butz. We're going to have more

00:09:56.080 stories about that for you in the days ahead. Shocking news has come out of Nova Scotia about how Trudeau

00:10:02.060 pressured Brenda Luckey, the commissioner of the RCMP, and how Luckey in turn pressured the local

00:10:07.360 police to turn a mass murder a few years ago into a liberal campaign moment. How Trudeau pressured

00:10:14.600 Luckey, who pressured the local cops, demanding they say certain things that would make it easier for

00:10:20.380 Trudeau to make a campaign ad against firearms, really using the dead bodies of people

00:10:26.860 as campaign material for the liberals. Super gross, super unethical. So my point is, Gerald Butz did

00:10:34.500 that. I'm not saying he was interfering in the Nova Scotia mass murder case. I'm saying he set the tone,

00:10:39.820 the standard. And the fact that Gerald Butz has been normalized by the Canadian establishment, I mean,

00:10:46.720 he's back big time. He's all over Ottawa. He's all over Twitter as a surrogate for Trudeau again.

00:10:53.100 He's doing better than ever. He shows how corrupt the entire Canadian political establishment is.

00:10:58.940 He's back. Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster has rehabilitated Butz. They have him on all the time 0.94

00:11:05.740 without a disclaimer that he's the disgraced crook who tried to throw a criminal trial. They're

00:11:10.460 effectively giving him a pardon for the worst corruption scandal in modern Canadian history. So much for the

00:11:16.140 CBC solidarity with the first Indigenous justice minister. But that's the CBC. They're gross.

00:11:22.060 They always have been. And they're on Trudeau's payroll. But what about Monty Solberg? 0.99

00:11:29.500 Remember him? He was one of Preston Manning's first MPs in the Reform Party in the 90s.

00:11:35.900 He was from Medicine Hat, Alberta, one of the most conservative places in the world.

00:11:40.620 Lots of fossil fuel there, too. About 100 years ago, there was an atrocious idea to rename the city

00:11:46.300 from Medicine Hat to Gassberg. Luckily, Rudyard Kipling, the great novelist and poet, heard about

00:11:52.380 that. And he smashed the idea to pieces by writing a powerful letter to the editor of the local

00:11:56.940 newspaper. He saved that town. Monty Solberg was a Preston Manning reformer. Then he was a cabinet

00:12:03.900 minister under Stephen Harper, conservative guy. And then he retired. And then he became a lobbyist for

00:12:12.300 hire. Not a lawyer. Monty's not a lawyer. So what skills does Monty have? He's a very friendly guy.

00:12:19.740 That's for sure. I used to work with him. But being friendly isn't really a business plan.

00:12:26.620 But selling influence, selling your reputation, selling both public influence to the millions of

00:12:32.380 people who believe you were actually conservative, you actually meant what you said,

00:12:36.220 believe you're like Preston Manning, you're like Stephen Harper, that's valuable. Monty can sell that.

00:12:42.060 And selling access to your friends in power, your old connections, both in the Canadian

00:12:48.060 Conservative Party and your friends in various government ministries you used to run,

00:12:53.340 that can be very valuable. Being a lobbyist, being an influence peddler, that's what Monty does for a

00:13:00.140 living now. So it's not like Marie Hanein, a necessary part of the court system to ensure 0.63

00:13:07.100 trials are fair, a necessary professional to keep a man out of prison if he's innocent.

00:13:13.180 Monty Solberg is not like that. His business is to rent out his reputation and his connections

00:13:19.020 to those who pay him enough. And for him, unlike a criminal lawyer, we can indeed

00:13:23.420 judge him for the clients he chooses. And so I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I saw who

00:13:32.380 else is rehabilitating Gerald Butts. It's our old friend Monty Solberg. Look at this. Like I say,

00:13:39.820 Monty Solberg runs a lobbying company called New West. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that.

00:13:47.020 But they're having a great reset plan for Alberta. They're calling it the Great Relaunch.

00:13:51.980 The Alberta Relaunch. Alberta reset would be too on the nose. And look who their guests saw.

00:13:59.580 Look who is helping to draft the reset for Alberta. Mark Carney, the Liberal Party activist,

00:14:07.740 the World Economic Forum big shot. We bumped into him on the streets of Davos last month,

00:14:12.380 the environmentalist extremist. And look there. Gerald Butts, the disgraced, corrupt,

00:14:21.980 underminer of our justice system. The environmentalist extremist, the pipeline killer, 0.99

00:14:28.300 the carbon taxer, Monty Solberg is hosting him at his Great Reset for Alberta party. And look,

00:14:36.620 Vassie Kapilos and Kathleen Petty of CBC News. But of course, I mean, not Rebel News, not the

00:14:43.420 Western Standard Online, not True North, not even Post Media. The CBC, Trudeau State Broadcasters say,

00:14:51.020 I didn't know that CBC reporters could be rented out by the hour by lobbying firms

00:14:56.380 for the delight of their clients. Look there, Ed Whittingham. He's the former head of the anti-oil

00:15:03.100 Sands Anti-Pipeline Pemina Institute. He is an extremist, a foreign-funded anti-oil extremist.

00:15:10.860 And the former MP from Medicine Hat is hosting him. He's the most vicious job killer in Canada. 0.98

00:15:15.820 And Monty's good friends with them now. Mark Cameron, the carbon tax advocate who left

00:15:23.420 Jason Kenney's office in disgrace. What on earth is Monty Solberg doing? Why would he do this to you?

00:15:34.540 To get rich. That's why. Why do you think? I wonder how much he's paying and I wonder who's paying him.

00:15:40.460 He doesn't disclose that. That's weird, isn't it? I find it heartbreaking.

00:15:45.980 But it's a reminder of what the Bible says, Psalm 146, put not your trust in princes, nor in the

00:15:53.900 Son of Man in whom there is no help. Yeah, I like some politicians and I dislike some others, but

00:16:02.220 you'd be a fool to trust any of them. They'll sell you out for 30 pieces of silver, 0.98

00:16:08.300 just like Monty Solberg did. I mean, seriously. Gerald Butz? Stay with us for more.

00:16:29.100 Well, we've had an amazing roster of new talent join Rebel News very recently. Kerry Diot,

00:16:34.540 former Conservative Member of Parliament, joined us covering Edmonton,

00:16:37.420 the legislature and a lot of other political things. In Ottawa, William Diaz Bertione,

00:16:44.140 a young guy just tearing up the streets, catching politicians as they walk around Parliament Hill

00:16:49.260 so they have no elevator or staircase they can dash into. He asked them great questions in that

00:16:56.060 minute or so. He has them. Great new talent. And one of our most interesting new teammates is Juan

00:17:03.260 Carlos Mendoza Diaz, who, as you can tell by his name, is bilingual in Spanish. And he covers

00:17:11.500 interesting things in the United States, including at the Texas-Mexico border where they are having an

00:17:17.740 immigration crisis, an illegal immigration crisis. If you think Roxham Road is a big deal in Canada,

00:17:24.540 well, imagine the entire Mexico-U.S. border. Donald Trump promised to build a wall and he built, well,

00:17:31.580 a few dozen kilometers of it. But the border is unguarded in the main and Joe Biden's policy

00:17:39.100 is to maximize the number of migrants. And by the way, they're not just from Latin America.

00:17:45.260 There have been reports of Russians going to Mexico. I'm not saying like Russian spies. I'm just saying

00:17:52.140 people from Russia who go to Mexico and come up. People from China make their way to Mexico and come

00:17:59.340 across the border easier than coming in by plane. Well, Juan Mendoza joins us now on the scene at the border

00:18:08.460 between Mexico and Yuma, Arizona. Juan, great to see you. That is the Trump fence behind you, if I'm not

00:18:17.500 mistaken. But there's a pretty big gap there. In fact, this is called the gap, isn't it?

00:18:23.660 That's correct, Ezra. I'm here in Yuma, Arizona, one of the areas that has been worst impacted by the border

00:18:31.180 crisis that has started since the Biden administration has taken office. Yeah, behind me, this area is known as the gap

00:18:37.340 where there have been many people that have crossed illegally into the United States. As you can see,

00:18:42.860 we would see that vehicles would park over on the Mexican side by the highway and just drop migrants

00:18:49.660 down there so they could cross illegally into the United States to be apprehended by border patrol units

00:18:55.340 here in Arizona. Now, right now, one of the main areas here in the Yuma sector that has been seeing

00:19:01.900 hundreds of migrants crossing illegally into the United States is an area about 10 minutes

00:19:07.020 down the road called the Coco Pao Reservation, which they've been seeing hundreds of migrants

00:19:13.580 that have been crossing through illegally there. Right now, they're seeing activity more at nighttime.

00:19:18.140 It is extremely hot here in Yuma, Arizona, so the people wait until nighttime, so the cartels smuggle

00:19:25.340 them into the United States and they can be apprehended by border patrol units. Now, border patrol units have

00:19:30.300 told me that the Coco Pao sector is a spot where people cross because the wall is not built there. The

00:19:40.060 residents there in that area asked not to have the wall built, but CBP units have informed me that cartel

00:19:48.300 members actually pay the people in these lands so they can smuggle people through that area.

00:19:53.260 Huh. Now, I mentioned that I saw reports, including from some of your colleagues on the ground,

00:19:59.660 that it's not just Mexicans. I mean, there would be a lot of reasons to cross the border,

00:20:04.620 better jobs, better paying jobs in America, sort of an economic migrant. There may be some people who seek

00:20:10.940 asylum for reasons their life is in danger, but obviously there's a criminal motive too. There are

00:20:18.700 drug smugglers, human traffickers, and even people with malevolent intentions. Tell us about some of

00:20:24.700 the different categories. I mentioned that some people who aren't even from Latin America are just

00:20:30.380 using this open back door to sneak in, right? That's right, Ezra. And one of the things that we

00:20:36.700 have seen in the Yuma sector that is different from, say, the Rio Grande Valley and Del Rio in Texas is that

00:20:42.860 we've been seeing people crossing here from not just Latin America, we've been seeing people coming from

00:20:48.380 Russia, from India, from China. And just Border Patrol tells me there's over 25 countries that

00:20:55.980 they've seen people come into Yuma here. So like I said, it's not just Latin America, which is mostly

00:21:03.420 the case in other parts of the United States southern border that are facing the border crisis.

00:21:09.580 Now, in Canada, when people walk across the Roxham Road border from New York State, it's sort of funny

00:21:14.620 that anyone would be fleeing America, but they're actually just fleeing in the main deportation

00:21:19.580 orders. These are people who sought refuge in America, were denied, and are just coming into Canada

00:21:24.780 because our system welcomes them in, almost never turns them back, and they're given an immigration

00:21:30.780 hearing sometimes five years into the future. So they're just processed and literally let go

00:21:36.780 probably forever. That's the Canadian way. What's it like in America? You're mentioning hundreds or

00:21:41.980 thousands of people crossing. And I know along the entire border, the numbers are even much larger.

00:21:47.580 So what happens to, let's say, a 25 year old man who crosses over and says, I want asylum to a typical, 0.99

00:21:57.500 like a young guy. What happens to him?

00:22:01.420 So usually DHS tries to state that they are trying to deport people under Title 42. Many times that's

00:22:10.380 not the case. And many, many migrants here are actually trying to claim Title 8, which is 0.74

00:22:15.500 manifestation of credible fear in order to gain asylum into the United States. They're also coming in with

00:22:21.740 family units. And actually, one of the darker aspects with that is that there's many people that will

00:22:26.140 actually smuggle kids that are not theirs and pretend to be a family unit so they have less

00:22:31.980 chances of being deported. Actually, while we were on the ground here in Yuma, I ran into a five-year-old

00:22:38.620 kid that had in his arms marked a phone number that said it was his grandfather's. Now, the lady that was

00:22:47.580 with him was saying that he was unaccompanied minor and that he was left in the desert apparently to die.

00:22:53.820 And I tried to call that number to verify to see if it was the actual grandfather.

00:22:58.140 And I didn't get any response. The lady said that she video called a guy, but I mean, there's many

00:23:04.060 cases where people could lie. Like I said, there's people that pretend to have children with them that

00:23:10.140 are of their kin, but that's not the case. And actually, many Border Patrol agents tell me that

00:23:16.380 they tend to say the same kid two, three times at once every time they see people crossing.

00:23:25.100 Just horrific. I mean, whether that's a kidnapped kid, a runaway, a homeless, an orphan, whatever it is,

00:23:31.420 to use a child in that way is so atrocious. I guess you were saying some of them lie. If you're willing to

00:23:38.380 kidnap and abuse a human child that way, you're probably willing to lie as well. I mean, and again, 0.98

00:23:45.420 whether you're just trying to cross for economic reasons or refugee reasons, real or not,

00:23:53.100 there are also the darker elements, like you say, that kind of trick, that kind of tactic

00:24:00.300 is very much what a terrorist might do, what a drug cartel might do. I mean, that's not just

00:24:06.620 an ordinary person coming up with some devious plan. That is an organized international criminal

00:24:12.940 element. I don't know. I find that very troubling. And we know the Biden administration loves this,

00:24:18.620 the same way the Trudeau administration loves it in Canada. I think they like the destabilization.

00:24:25.340 They believe that these are future Democrat voters. But what about some of the border

00:24:31.180 governors who at least talk a little tougher? I'm not sure what it's like in Arizona, but in Texas,

00:24:36.780 their governor claims to be a little tougher on these things. Is there anything that the state

00:24:41.740 governments can do? Like, for example, to ask a really dumb question, why doesn't someone just

00:24:47.420 finish building that fence behind you? I mean, if you tilt your camera a little bit, you showed me 0.82

00:24:52.300 earlier. It really is just a gap. Like it's not like, yeah, keep spinning that way. Let's show us

00:24:58.380 what's behind your shirt. Yeah. Like it like that's not even 100 feet. I'm not saying that would solve

00:25:04.700 the problem, but it would make a dent in it. Like, why? Why isn't that fence finished?

00:25:11.500 Well, like I was saying before, this was the federal wall that was being built under the Trump

00:25:16.780 administration. So under the Biden administration, he halted the construction of the border wall.

00:25:22.700 Much of the human sector has it, but there are certain gaps like this one. And you can see actually

00:25:27.420 the remains of materials that were supposed to be used to build the wall. And like I said, I mean,

00:25:33.260 this is a federal, this was a federal project. So even the states will have to build their own wall.

00:25:39.500 And right now they're battling the federal administration because the federal administration

00:25:44.940 is just employing these open border policies, even though state governors such as Greg Abbott and Doug

00:25:50.460 Ducey are begging the federal government to stop this because they're seeing massive numbers of people

00:25:56.780 crossing in illegally. And it's not just harmful for Americans that live here. It's harmful for the 1.00

00:26:01.580 migrants and it's actually empowering organized crime groups. Yeah. Well, and terrible for those kids 1.00

00:26:07.180 too. Well, listen, Juan, I'm very proud of the work you're doing down there. It's very interesting.

00:26:11.260 We Canadians can only imagine what it what it's like. We have modest border. I mean, listen,

00:26:17.420 our only land borders with the United States. How bad could it be? It's called the world's longest

00:26:21.900 under the defended border for a reason. So our rocks and road problem is a trifle compared to what

00:26:27.260 you're describing. Thanks for doing that and stay safe. I know the cartels obviously cross into America

00:26:32.380 all the time. So keep your eyes peeled and we'll look forward to talking to you again.

00:26:35.580 Thank you, Ezra. All right. There you have it. Juan Carlos Mendoza Diaz, a rebel who also does work in

00:26:43.980 Spanish for our losrebeldes.com website. We're doing some Spanish videos too. Stay with us.

00:26:51.500 Your letters to me are next.

00:27:04.540 You know, instead of letters today, I'm going to just share with you a few more thoughts about

00:27:08.060 Monty Solberg. I mean, I think there is a place in the world for lobbyists. For about one year,

00:27:14.540 a decade ago, I was a lobbyist too. And if it means helping people talk to politicians,

00:27:21.660 make their case in Ottawa, I think it's okay. I think anyone should be able to lobby and talk to

00:27:27.620 politicians. But I think that unlike being a lawyer or a doctor or a pharmacist or another profession like

00:27:35.800 that, when you're just selling your reputation to boost someone else, I think you do sort of own who

00:27:42.520 your clients are. And from Monty Solberg, from Medicine Hat Alberta, from the Reform Party and the

00:27:49.740 Canadian Alliance and from Stephen Harper's cabinet, to team up with Gerald Butts, not even Gerald Butts

00:27:56.660 before his disgrace, when he was anti-oil, anti-pipeline extremist, to buy the disgraced,

00:28:05.920 corrupted, post-Jody Wilson-Raybould version of Gerald Butts, and to bring him to town for what?

00:28:14.040 To map out a great reset for Alberta? How can Monty look himself in the mirror? I don't know,

00:28:19.640 maybe there's a big stack of money in the way he doesn't have to look himself in the mirror.

00:28:22.480 I'm sort of grossed out by him. And maybe it's not a big deal. Maybe you would expect no less a

00:28:29.080 politician taking the cash, selling his soul. I mean, it's pretty gross. I mean, Jean Charest sold 0.93

00:28:35.120 his soul for Huawei during the Meng Wanzhou to Michael's kidnap fiasco. So I suppose at a certain

00:28:42.820 point, what else is a politician supposed to do? They really don't have normal skills, so they have to 0.52

00:28:47.940 rent out their reputation. But I don't know, maybe it just cuts me a little bit because I used to

00:28:52.460 be friends with Monty. I worked with him 20 years ago, plus, when I was in Ottawa with Preston

00:28:57.500 Manning. It's just really, really gross to have Monty Solberg rehabilitate Gerald Butts. And I hope

00:29:04.520 they're paying him extremely well for it, because he's actually selling his soul. Gross. That's my 0.78

00:29:11.440 show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,

00:29:15.480 good night, and keep fighting for freedom.

00:29:17.560 Tamara Ugolini here with Rebel News. I am in St. George, Ontario. So we're about half an hour

00:29:24.100 south of Cambridge. We've driven all the way here to the Tim Hortons Foundation Camp home office.

00:29:32.180 It's quite the trek. We're in pretty much the middle of nowhere. Only to be greeted by a gatekeeper

00:29:37.640 and a sign stating private property. Please do not enter and to call for assistance. We've done that.

00:29:44.740 But the whole purpose of our visit today is to drop off this petition. 310 pages of signatures

00:29:52.240 from almost 26,000 concerned Canadians to oppose the Tim's Foundation Camp's vaccine mandate. If you've

00:30:02.720 missed my previous reports, you can find them and this petition at letkidscamp.com. The Tim Hortons

00:30:09.400 Foundation Camp have decided to arbitrarily enforce a vaccine mandate for all of their youth aged 12 and

00:30:16.340 up for those same underprivileged youth that are seeking a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend

00:30:23.040 their summer camp. Now, this tip came to me from an anonymous tipster whose child was seeking his final

00:30:30.760 year of attendance in the Tim Hortons Foundation Camp. He has been officially de-registered from his

00:30:37.380 spot, but his mother is still hoping that there is some hope left for him to attend session two,

00:30:43.980 the second session of the summer, regardless of his personal medical choices. Now, like I said,

00:30:49.900 we have just shy of 27,000 signatures, this massive petition to drop off, but apparently we are unable

00:30:57.640 to do that here at the home office. And so we are not going to stop here though. We're going to see

00:31:04.860 what else we can do to get this petition, all of these pieces of paper in the hands of someone at

00:31:11.180 Tim Hortons who's responsible for this arbitrary policy that is outdated and discriminatory. So

00:31:18.420 please stay tuned as I follow this report.

00:31:23.640 Hello, you've reached the general.

00:31:26.500 Apparently no one's available to offer assistance.

00:31:29.480 Oh, hello. Yes, I'm here at the gates and I'm seeking assistance. So this appears to be the number

00:31:35.060 to call for that. I am looking to drop something off to an appropriate manager, perhaps specifically

00:31:42.800 April Brown, if someone would like to give me a call back. We will wait here at the gate. Thank you.

00:31:47.820 Bye. We've tried to drop off our petition. We've driven around. We've tried calling the office

00:31:54.040 for assistance. And now we see that we're being greeted by the OPP. So we'll see how this situation

00:32:00.760 will unfold. Officer, how are you? Hey guys, how are you? Doing well, thank you. Good. Awesome.

00:32:06.240 Officer, what's going on today? Well, we're going to drop off a 310-page petition to the Tim Hortons

00:32:11.460 Foundation camp. We have 26,784 signatures. And we are unable to unfortunately get any assistance

00:32:20.460 from anyone. So we've called the number. Is it closed? Well, the sign would say so. But we spoke

00:32:25.340 to someone just as we arrived in who was either just trying to leave or coming and they said

00:32:31.560 that we could call for assistance. So we tried to do that and then you showed up. So hello.

00:32:37.680 Perfect. Keep trying the number, I guess. Yeah, that's what we'll do. Are you able to help us

00:32:43.240 maybe submit this petition here? No, it's closed. So I can't go in. It's all locked up. Okay. Are you

00:32:48.140 just offering to be in the neighborhood? No, I got called out here. Okay. Because you guys were

00:32:52.460 inside. Yeah. We were inside? Yeah. Trespassing. No, we were never inside. Talking right here. Yeah.

00:32:58.340 And they asked you to leave? No, they never asked us to leave. You can do whatever you want here.

00:33:01.860 Yeah. As long as you try and get a hold of them. Yeah. And set something up. But you have a number maybe?

00:33:05.840 No, it's right there. Okay. Campus closed. 519-448-1248. So someone did call you. Yeah.

00:33:12.840 They're not calling for returning our calls. Might not be the same people, right? No? No.

00:33:16.840 That'd be weird. Could be a councillor and that could be an owner probably. I don't know.

00:33:20.840 Yeah. I don't know either. We drove all this way to submit this petition on behalf of some

00:33:25.540 concerned Canadians. Obviously 27,000 of them. Right. Where's all the way from? Toronto. Toronto.

00:33:31.840 Yeah. So I guess we'll try again another time. Yeah. Just call ahead of time. See if there's

00:33:37.740 an email or something. Oh, yeah. We've done that as well. There's a lady who works here 0.99

00:33:41.940 in Human Resources. I've been tipped off to her name. So I've emailed her directly, I guess

00:33:47.040 two weeks ago now and then have called as well. So it seems that Tim Hortons doesn't want

00:33:52.140 to receive this petition for some reason. Have you tried emailing? Emailing and called.

00:33:56.840 Yeah. Snail mail. I guess we could send it registered and then you're guaranteed to get it. Yeah.

00:34:02.740 Yeah. What would you suggest at this point? I think those are my suggestions. Other than,

00:34:06.740 you know, you don't want to be going inside of you. No, of course. As soon as we see no

00:34:10.840 trespassing, we're not in interest to ruffle any feathers. But it'd be nice to hand this off

00:34:16.740 to someone personally. I'm not the guy to give to you. No. No, I don't think so. I would try the

00:34:22.240 mail thing or email or call it a time to meet up somewhere. Yeah. It would be nice to receive a

00:34:27.740 response on all those outlets that we've already tried. Sure. Okay, guys. Thanks anyway. All right.

00:34:32.640 Yeah. Have a great day. You too. The officer seemed nice enough and that red truck that we were met

00:34:38.640 with originally has driven by. So I assume that's maybe the person responsible for calling the police

00:34:45.240 on us instead of simply figuring out a way to have someone receive our petition again with 26,784

00:34:53.640 signatures. I wonder at the end of the day, how Justin Bieber with his post vaccination facial paralysis

00:35:01.960 feels about the customer service that Tim's camp is providing not only to us here, just simply trying

00:35:07.320 to drop off a petition, but to the youth that they're imposing this heavy handed mandate on. Sign the

00:35:12.200 petition and stay up to date with our reports, please head to letkidscamp.com. For Rebel News in St.

00:35:18.600 George, Ontario, I'm Tamara Ugolini.
