Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Aren't birthdays supposed to be festive？ The 155th celebration of our Dominion sure wasn't

00:00:00.000 shame on you you sensorious bug 0.98

00:00:30.000 call me a radical call me outrageous call me a loose cannon but I always thought that a birthday

00:00:35.840 party should be a celebratory occasion that it should be you know fun and festive last Friday

00:00:43.340 was Canada's 155th birthday and I'm certain millions of Canadians found ways to celebrate

00:00:49.740 the occasion with family members and friends soaking up that July 1st weather punctuated

00:00:55.780 with barbecuing and beer drinking ah the sweet sweet summertime it's always too short a season

00:01:03.160 in Canada is it not but if you happen to show up on Parliament Hill last weekend which is typically

00:01:10.620 home to Canada's biggest birthday bash well fun and frivolity and festivity were replaced by the

00:01:17.000 hallmarks of a police state I do not exaggerate folks Dominion Day weekend was reminiscent of the

00:01:24.760 Rolling Thunder event in late April that's when hundreds of bikers planned to ride around the

00:01:30.280 National War Memorial to pay tribute to our veterans now this was not a protest nor a demonstration

00:01:37.820 it was all about bikers many of them veterans themselves showing respect to those individuals

00:01:44.080 that Justin Trudeau says are asking for too much August 24th 2015 you made the promise

00:01:52.360 and I'll quote it here no veteran will be forced to fight their own government for the support and

00:01:58.780 compensation they have earned yet you are still currently in a legal battle with veterans regarding

00:02:05.080 equal support and compensation to their peers you have ISIL or ISIS members coming into a reintegration

00:02:16.360 program you did a backdoor deal with Omar Qadar with not even stepping into the courtroom you know so

00:02:24.160 again my question is what veterans were you talked about was the ones that fought for the freedoms and

00:02:31.600 values that you so proudly boast about or was it the ones who fought against because honestly mr. prime

00:02:37.840 minister I was prepared to be injured in the line of duty when I went to when I joined the military

00:02:43.900 nobody forced me to join the military I was prepared to be killed in action what I wasn't prepared for mr.

00:02:52.420 prime minister is Canada had turning its back on me

00:03:01.300 so which veteran was it that you were talking about

00:03:04.420 why are we still fighting against certain veterans groups in court because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now

00:03:17.420 but Ottawa went into full shutdown mode in April reducing rolling thunder to a tiny trickle

00:03:24.420 most of the bikers never got into downtown Ottawa with their hogs in fact if you are riding a Harley that weekend and displaying shockers 0.99

00:03:33.420 shockers a Canadian flag chances are you were profiled by law enforcement and essentially told that

00:03:40.980 undesirables weren't welcome in Ottawa so kindly get out of Dodge if you know what's good for you 1.00

00:03:47.740 indeed more than a thousand additional law enforcement personnel from other police services in Ontario

00:03:54.300 were called into Ottawa to patrol the streets and set up checkpoints and write tickets there was no way

00:04:02.500 justin trudeau was going to allow freedom convoy 2.0 to happen even though that was never the intention of the bikers in the first place

00:04:11.840 everybody knew that to be true including the prime minister so the whole exercise was basically law enforcement street theater

00:04:20.520 it was the justin trudeau liberals demonstrating to the people of Ottawa that they were going to do everything possible

00:04:28.900 to protect the citizens even though there was no clear and present danger to begin with

00:04:35.400 then again to paraphrase a Tina Turner song what's truth got to do with it

00:04:41.800 and so it was that Dominion Day weekend in Ottawa was deja vu all over again in terms of the capital city morphing into a police state

00:04:50.900 those temporary no stopping signs popped up all over downtown hey you couldn't even idle your car upon a legal parking spot

00:04:59.380 unless you wanted to have your vehicle hauled away to some impound lot and many were

00:05:05.340 the no stopping signage stated that a so-called special event was taking place in Ottawa

00:05:12.420 special event uh like what was an outdoor rock concert or a circus or something like that coming to town

00:05:20.080 oh goodness gracious no the special event is what the liberals referred to as the suspension of the rights

00:05:28.160 and freedoms and liberties Canadians used to freely embrace and enjoy be it freedom of expression

00:05:36.180 or freedom of religion the members of the Ottawa police service and Ottawa by law enforcement

00:05:43.080 were on constant patrol last weekend ticket books and handcuffs at the ready

00:05:49.500 oh isn't that special

00:05:52.500 no it was grotesque actually

00:05:56.120 Canadian families were showing up to Parliament Hill to celebrate Canada's birthday

00:06:01.180 and they were being demonized as either a basket full of deplorables

00:06:07.180 thanks Hillary or a bunch of yahoos 1.00

00:06:10.300 thanks Premier Ford and gee whatever happened to you Doug

00:06:14.700 the fireworks display was moved to another area and the traditional flyover by the snowbirds was cancelled

00:06:21.580 even ice cream trucks were told to move along or get fined

00:06:25.820 Ottawa was truly a fun-free zone during Canada's birthday

00:06:31.160 and yet no one was coming to Parliament Hill wearing trouble on their shirt sleeves

00:06:37.120 actually folks I'm getting ahead of myself

00:06:40.700 getting onto Parliament Hill was no sure thing last weekend you see

00:06:46.020 the Parliamentary Protective Service set up airport-style security at the entrance to the hill

00:06:53.480 complete with metal detectors and pat-downs

00:06:56.560 it was surreal and get this when my cameraman Mauricio and I arrived in Ottawa on June 29th

00:07:03.520 we were actually denied entry to Parliament Hill

00:07:07.320 and even suspended from the hill for the rest of the day because

00:07:11.820 we would not surrender our devices such as cameras and cell phones

00:07:16.740 you see the gatekeepers wanted to go through our photo and video libraries

00:07:21.480 they wanted to permanently erase content that they did not approve of

00:07:27.440 were we in Canada in 2022 or East Berlin circa 1946

00:07:33.400 check it out

00:07:34.360 check it out

00:07:39.360 so maybe is it like sort of like the we the fringe flags or the F Trudeau flags

00:07:45.320 would that you know the we the fringe the F Trudeau flags would that be under the ban maybe or

00:08:03.320 that's it pretty sure okay but I'm not sure I would all again I would probably double check with the supervisor or something

00:08:09.280 they're all there's so many different like things that are not allowed and if I'm not sure I just double check with the supervisor

00:08:15.280 but I wouldn't see why it would be allowed all there's like a big list

00:08:20.280 sure but there's a full list like of all the items that are allowed and not allowed here

00:08:25.280 sure I would just be really personally interested in the flag policy man just

00:08:30.500 like you see a lot of Ukrainian flag people are standing and solidated in Ukraine right

00:08:34.660 would that be allowed or for sure yeah okay all right all right so I'm gonna ask you to turn off the camera please

00:08:39.820 this is security no security we don't film sorry can you delete it

00:08:43.520 can you delete it no yeah you need to delete it it's security you can't film

00:08:49.120 why would I because this is security when you go to the airport do you film inside

00:08:53.920 okay then well we have a policy of not deleting it no but this is security here this is security

00:08:59.860 you can't film anything beyond security you're allowed to do anything you want but anything here

00:09:06.080 you can't film you can't take pictures I'm going to ask you to delete it therefore for the rest of the

00:09:09.980 night uh we are not allowed on parliament hill can you believe that needless to say we did not

00:09:17.220 comply with their orders and we were promptly suspended so much for freedom of the press I guess

00:09:25.420 but get this just like the overwhelming presence of law enforcement the security checkpoints

00:09:32.000 were also about putting on a show as opposed to doing something tangible you see with my suspension

00:09:40.400 from the hill over I returned to parliament hill on sunday july 3rd to see if it would be if I would

00:09:47.220 be allowed to stand on the grassy incline I turned off my recording devices got in line got patted down

00:09:54.620 got scanned had my bag thoroughly searched and then once past checkpoint charlie I began to fill my report

00:10:02.760 and that's when a most amazing thing occurred the security checkpoint I had just passed through

00:10:09.920 was disassembled and packed away in a van check it out

00:10:14.960 so in other words had I visited parliament hill just five minutes later I wouldn't have had to have

00:10:38.120 gone through security I guess criminals and terrorists only attempt to get on the hill

00:10:43.100 before 5 p.m. as opposed to after 5 p.m. does this make any sense to anyone of course not it was

00:10:51.920 completely nonsensical what's more this too with so much security street theater orchestrated by the

00:10:59.600 Trudeau liberals in order to pretend they were protecting Canadians from a threat that did not exist

00:11:08.000 the freedom convoy may be long gone from Ottawa but the demonization and vilification continues

00:11:15.780 you know it was enough to make one protest all of these indignities except that parliament hill was

00:11:22.320 inexplicably a protest free zone during dominion day weekend case in point there was a political

00:11:30.020 prisoner currently incarcerated in Ottawa these days that would be Tamara Leach her imprisonment 0.98

00:11:36.740 is an outrage of course but look what happened when a supporter wrote free Tamara Leach in chalk

00:11:43.460 upon a sidewalk I was helping uh write I was helping write uh free Tamara and free Pat King political

00:11:52.600 prisoners across the Wellington street and I was pulled over and given a fine of about 1130 dollars

00:11:58.820 what did you use what did you use to write that on the streets chalk so parliament hill which should be

00:12:04.260 the one place in Canada where protests against the government should be deemed sacred is now a

00:12:12.180 demonstration free zone and how did that happen and is this the so-called new normal moving forward

00:12:20.560 golly it was only two summers ago that BLM protesters were painting Black Lives Matter on streets and sidewalks

00:12:28.100 they didn't receive any tickets in fact those Marxists even vandalized and tore down statues they didn't

00:12:35.220 care for and not only did law enforcement turn the other cheek they actually bent the knee in solidarity

00:12:42.940 with these vandals uncanny oh we also happened upon street preachers on Wellington street last weekend

00:12:50.580 but alas preaching the gospel and handing out leaflets would not be tolerated either

00:12:58.040 by town's brave and bold bylaw officers descended upon these preachers en masse

00:13:04.080 they were told they could not remain stationary even though they were not impeding the passage of anyone

00:13:11.200 they were however permitted to walk and talk yeah walk and talk you know

00:13:18.260 like prisoners in the penitentiary yard during exercise period then again downtown Ottawa in many

00:13:26.600 regards last weekend resembled a maximum security facility and from the fund police to the flag police

00:13:34.600 the gatekeepers at parliament hill were very picky about which flags one could bring up upon the hill

00:13:42.620 assuming you were allowed on the hill that is in any event the Canadian flag which is now vilified in

00:13:50.520 some circles thanks to its association with the freedom movement was thankfully allowed to be displayed

00:13:57.320 but I was informed flags bearing slogans such as F Trudeau and we the fringe were verboten apparently

00:14:05.740 one is not allowed to hurt the feelings of the governing liberals anymore it's not a law of course

00:14:12.580 it's just a memo oh I asked about another flag that is very popular these days namely the blue and yellow

00:14:20.140 flag of Ukraine can one display that on the hill I inquired and the officer said I had raised a very good

00:14:28.820 question and that she'd have to check with her supervisor to see if indeed the Ukrainian flag could be displayed

00:14:36.580 no folks I am not making this up you see the theme on the hill on this particular weekend was that Ottawa

00:14:45.020 would be a so-called hate free zone and so it was that the display of certain flags preaching the gospel

00:14:55.280 writing messages of solidarity for Tamara Leach heck even making unnecessary noise all of that was deemed to be

00:15:05.440 acts of hatred but as this grotesque clampdown of freedom of expression was taking place in Ottawa all in

00:15:15.640 the name of stamping out hate well get a load of what was taking place just down highway 401 in Toronto

00:15:23.260 on that very same weekend I speak of the conference that was staged by the Muslim Association of Canada

00:15:31.280 at the Enercare Centre the conference was rife with hate now you are forgiven if this comes as news to you

00:15:40.800 given that there was virtually zero mainstream media coverage of this event however thankfully Terry

00:15:49.360 Glovin of the National Post did write about this event in a recent column entitled quote the liberals are

00:15:57.380 funding hate how else to describe the speakers at this Toronto convention end quote the subhead states

00:16:06.060 quote speakers at Muslim Association of Canada gathering will include one who advocates the death penalty for 0.99

00:16:13.820 homosexuality and another who says it's okay to beat your wife end quote oh Nelly surely there must be some 0.95

00:16:23.420 mistake here there were folks at this hogtown gathering who were advocating execution for gays 0.90

00:16:31.000 and on the heels of pride month no less and wife beating too now call me rash but I think this business of 0.66

00:16:40.180 physically beating up a insubordinate female is the very textbook definition of oh you know misogyny 1.00

00:16:47.300 here's what Mr. Glavin chronicled quote homosexuality is filthy and homosexual acts warrant the death penalty 1.00

00:16:55.540 Christian Arabs who protect Jews from murderers are traitors a man should be permitted to beat his wife 1.00

00:17:03.400 these are among the obscene ideas promoted by several of the individuals who will be featured speakers 0.98

00:17:12.620 at a national three-day conference beginning on Canada Day in Toronto hosted by an organization

00:17:19.940 that the Trudeau government has provided with more than three million dollars in federal anti-hate

00:17:27.680 youth engagement and security funding over the past three years end quote

00:17:34.140 geez Louise where oh where are the hate police when you really need them

00:17:40.320 oh but it gets worse as Glavin notes it is the Muslim Association of Canada that is playing the victim 1.00

00:17:47.920 card these days you see the association claims it has been unfairly singled out by the Canada Revenue

00:17:54.900 Agency the CRA has been auditing the Muslim Association of Canada going back to 2015 and the association

00:18:03.520 claims there was a quote systemic Islamophobic bias in the bureaucracy end quote

00:18:11.260 and get this the association's biggest ally is none other than drumroll please Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

00:18:22.220 yes the PM actually suggested last year that the organization's Islamophobia allegations may indeed have some

00:18:31.940 merit as Glavin notes in Trudeau's opening comments to a mostly closed Islamophobia summit in Ottawa last July

00:18:40.600 the PM said the CRA should abandon practices that target Muslims said Trudeau quote institutions should support people

00:18:52.920 not target them end quote um is that right even when those institutions might be you know breaking the law Justin

00:19:03.420 it's fascinating Trudeau is basically telling the tax man to back off because he believes the CRA is

00:19:13.340 systemically Islamophobic then again Trudeau has a much better use for the CRA these days doesn't he

00:19:21.720 which is to say of course he wants the CRA to go after independent media organizations such as rebel news

00:19:29.960 given that we are not on the list of so-called qualified Canadian journalism organizations

00:19:37.180 yes our mission statement is to provide the other side of the story and that's not quite halal when it comes to the Trudeau liberals

00:19:45.720 given how hell-bent they are to introduce laws that will give them the power to actually censor the internet

00:19:54.060 but these censorious thugs take no issue whatsoever with the speakers at last weekend's Muslim Association of Canada event

00:20:04.200 such as Mohammed Ratab al-Nablusi this Syrian citizen is best known for his Nablusi Encyclopedia of Islamic Science

00:20:15.980 oh some science more like weird science that's because this charming document defends the death penalty

00:20:24.200 as a punishment for homosexuality on the grounds that being gay quote involves a filthy place

00:20:31.980 and does not generate offspring end quote gee how odd I didn't hear of the spirit unicorn people 0.88

00:20:39.920 staging a protest outside the inner care center last weekend then there was the events featured speaker

00:20:47.480 that would be Jamal Baddawi who says that Islam permits wife beating and he is also someone who defends 1.00

00:20:57.240 suicide bombings as heroic acts as heroic acts so there you have it folks advocating death to gays 1.00

00:21:05.540 and endorsing wife beating and giving the thumbs up to deadly acts of terrorism um am I missing some nuance here 0.59

00:21:15.920 because this rhetoric really sounds very hateful indeed but then again in the stupefying words of our prime minister

00:21:25.760 maybe me and you were experiencing things differently what a vile horrific double standard that is at play here

00:21:37.980 and while several speakers at the Muslim Association of Canada event were preaching violence and even death

00:21:47.080 to certain identifiable groups where aware was the police or bylaw enforcement

00:21:53.880 oh yeah I forgot they were too busy in Ottawa shutting down street preachers and prohibiting free Tamara Leach 0.70

00:22:04.320 graffiti being written on the sidewalk and banning flags that were deemed too impolite to the Liberal Party of Canada

00:22:13.640 this is the state of affairs in Canada today

00:22:18.400 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his boyfriend Jagmeet Singh have absolutely no problem embracing such a despicable double standard 0.94

00:22:30.120 and such horrific hypocrisy 0.82

00:22:33.060 tell me 0.82

00:22:34.860 do you have a problem with it?

00:22:48.400 well folks going back a few days ago this week that was quite the bombshell wasn't it

00:22:55.060 Patrick Brown disqualified by the Conservative Party of Canada

00:22:59.660 but really was it a bombshell?

00:23:03.100 I mean Patrick Brown and scandal go together like macaroni and cheese

00:23:08.340 and now that Brown is out of the race

00:23:11.460 even though he's down he's not out

00:23:14.060 he's still fighting but I doubt he's going to have a favorable outcome

00:23:17.940 the question arises

00:23:20.140 is this now going to be a coronation of Pierre Paulyev

00:23:24.440 and who better to weigh in on this subject

00:23:27.660 than the big boss man himself

00:23:29.520 and that would be Ezra Levent from Calgary

00:23:32.140 how are you doing there Ezra?

00:23:34.180 I'm doing great by the way David thanks very much for hosting the show today

00:23:37.180 and to our viewers at home

00:23:39.340 thank you

00:23:39.920 I like to do the show as often as I can

00:23:42.540 but occasionally I have to travel

00:23:43.900 I'm in Calgary at the temporary office where we're housing our rebels

00:23:48.160 there's none behind me

00:23:50.160 but we have about eight people working out of here

00:23:52.640 and we hope to have a forever home soon

00:23:56.260 but one of the things I'm doing in town is later this afternoon

00:24:00.020 and we're talking midday

00:24:02.200 so by the time this airs it will have happened

00:24:04.420 our friends at the Western Standard Online

00:24:07.220 are hosting a CPC Conservative Party of Canada leadership contest

00:24:12.840 and in some ways it's anticlimactic

00:24:16.920 because I think one of the clashes people expected would be Paulyev versus Brown

00:24:22.260 well Brown is out of it for now

00:24:24.620 and I understand that Paulyev is ducking the debate again

00:24:28.280 on the one hand David I could understand why someone who's such a front runner

00:24:32.120 would say I'm not going to go to the debate

00:24:34.260 I've already been to a couple

00:24:35.960 I don't want to go to any more because there's no upside for me

00:24:39.840 party members already like me

00:24:41.540 I'm controlling my message by doing these prepared videos straight to the internet

00:24:45.900 there's no reason I would go just to be a punching bag

00:24:49.560 I'm going to do my own thing

00:24:51.460 so I understand that from his own point of view

00:24:53.820 however from a news point of view and a party member point of view

00:24:58.160 they probably would like to see more cut and thrust

00:25:00.860 it also is sort of a power move saying I don't need to be there

00:25:04.960 I feel like I'm going to win

00:25:06.880 let's just get over this whole preliminaries and assume I'm going to win

00:25:12.420 now I think there is some sense to that

00:25:15.280 if the membership sales numbers as reported in the media are accurate

00:25:21.240 Paulyev sold over 300,000

00:25:23.240 twice as much as Patrick Brown himself claims to have done

00:25:26.340 and most likely an insurmountable number

00:25:29.720 and that seems to ring true

00:25:30.760 because as you know David

00:25:31.760 when Paulyev would do events

00:25:34.400 they were very large

00:25:35.580 in Calgary where I am today

00:25:37.560 he did an event over 5,000 people

00:25:39.980 that's unusual

00:25:41.200 especially in the springtime, summertime

00:25:43.300 to get that many people out

00:25:45.240 I admire many of the other candidates

00:25:48.440 I have an affection for Roman Baber

00:25:51.520 his principled, thoughtful, even lawyerly opposition to the lockdowns

00:25:56.680 when he was an MPP in Doug Ford's government

00:25:59.560 I think was really the best performance of any lockdown skeptic in the country

00:26:04.060 it was reasoned

00:26:05.580 it was calm

00:26:06.400 it was scientific

00:26:07.300 it was thoughtful

00:26:08.020 and the fact that he was thrown out by Doug Ford

00:26:11.960 is an eternal disgrace on Ford

00:26:13.560 of course I'm a sentimental fan of Leslie Lewis

00:26:17.360 who I think is a wonderful part of the Conservative Party

00:26:20.520 there are some other candidates

00:26:22.640 I think Jean Charest

00:26:23.440 I've got to say this

00:26:24.400 Jean Charest is a red Tory

00:26:25.740 he used to be a liberal

00:26:27.700 and he supports things that rock-ribbed conservatives don't

00:26:31.320 that said

00:26:32.600 David, I've got to tell you

00:26:34.200 I'm glad he's in the race

00:26:35.240 and I don't

00:26:36.940 I think he and Pierre Paulyev are bashing each other pretty hard

00:26:40.260 but I don't think that's a bad thing

00:26:42.540 let the party have a good hearty debate now

00:26:45.860 and really decide who it is

00:26:47.560 I think the problem with the previous two leaders

00:26:49.280 Aaron O'Toole

00:26:49.960 and Andrew Scheer before him

00:26:51.880 is that they wanted to be all things to all people

00:26:54.220 and they actually flip-flopped and tricked people afterwards

00:26:58.160 let us decide what the party stands for

00:27:01.420 by having party members truly vote

00:27:03.440 and have clear choices

00:27:04.340 so I do not begrudge Jean Charest his candidacy

00:27:07.840 I don't think he's going to win

00:27:09.140 and frankly I don't think he's going to run

00:27:11.640 if he doesn't win

00:27:12.800 but I like the fact that he wanted to run

00:27:15.440 and I actually find myself liking him as a person

00:27:18.920 of course I'm more conservative than him

00:27:20.980 of course I would rather have a rock-ribbed conservative as a leader

00:27:24.540 but I'm glad he's running

00:27:26.260 and I don't think he's crooked

00:27:28.580 or sneaky

00:27:30.260 in the way that Patrick Brown showed himself to be

00:27:33.440 so I sort of like where the race is going

00:27:35.320 I will be covering the debate today

00:27:37.040 even though it's going to be a little bit anticlimactic

00:27:39.320 and to Sharae's credit too Ezra

00:27:41.980 he always hung around after the previous debates

00:27:45.340 to take questions

00:27:46.380 whereas some candidates just bolted for the exit

00:27:50.460 but my friend what's consuming the oxygen right now

00:27:53.820 when I was driving into headquarters

00:27:55.960 I was listening to all the talk radio

00:27:57.440 everyone's still leading with the Patrick Brown scandal

00:28:00.900 and I want to get your take on this Ezra

00:28:02.940 because it's so due rigueur for Patrick Brown

00:28:07.060 there was a pattern here

00:28:08.740 regardless of where this man is doing his politicking

00:28:13.000 or who he's doing it for

00:28:14.300 and it's he breaks the rules

00:28:16.420 he tries to get away with it

00:28:18.420 he gets caught

00:28:19.700 and then when he gets caught

00:28:21.060 he goes on the offensive saying

00:28:23.720 it's a conspiracy

00:28:24.900 everyone's out to get me

00:28:26.940 I'm the victim here

00:28:28.380 you're re-victimizing the victim

00:28:29.880 of course he's lawyered up with maybe

00:28:32.220 perhaps the most prominent criminal lawyer in the country

00:28:36.300 Ezra Marie Heinen

00:28:37.680 and yet I'm wondering if that is going to amount to a hill of beans

00:28:42.340 we've seen previous judgments in the past

00:28:44.580 where judges have said

00:28:46.100 sorry a political party

00:28:47.860 it's like a private company

00:28:49.240 a private club

00:28:50.560 they get to set their own rules

00:28:52.420 even if they've done something undemocratic

00:28:54.960 as Patrick Brown accuses the CPC of

00:28:57.500 it doesn't matter

00:28:58.640 what's your take

00:28:59.820 does he have a snowball's chance in hell

00:29:02.340 of getting reinstated into the race

00:29:04.980 by lorrying up like this

00:29:06.780 well look

00:29:08.040 no one in the public knows

00:29:10.580 the details of the allegations against him

00:29:13.220 that caused the conservative party to disqualify him

00:29:16.800 you must acknowledge

00:29:18.520 it was quite weird

00:29:19.580 that that disqualification happened

00:29:21.340 close to midnight

00:29:23.080 a few days ago

00:29:24.340 and if Patrick Brown is to be believed

00:29:26.300 and that's a big if

00:29:27.400 he claims he didn't know that was coming

00:29:29.520 until he saw it in the media

00:29:30.660 and he replied

00:29:31.780 even later that night

00:29:33.540 so

00:29:33.820 we don't know what the allegations are

00:29:36.240 were they the allegations that you flushed out

00:29:38.320 in your great investigative work

00:29:40.860 with our young reporter Lincoln Jay

00:29:42.780 or

00:29:44.200 is there something darker

00:29:46.240 I understand that

00:29:48.380 Elections Canada may be involved

00:29:50.360 I don't like Elections Canada

00:29:51.980 I don't really trust them

00:29:53.000 and as to your question of courts overruling

00:29:56.420 listen we want systems to be fair

00:29:58.420 and if someone spends $300,000

00:30:00.020 or whatever it was

00:30:00.980 entering a race with certain rules

00:30:03.100 I think it is in the interest of society

00:30:06.320 that

00:30:06.620 you know

00:30:07.540 whatever that contract is

00:30:08.740 if I pay you $300,000

00:30:09.940 to run with these rules

00:30:12.320 those are going to be the fair rules

00:30:13.720 so I

00:30:14.040 I think there is some place for a court

00:30:16.200 to intervene in a party matter

00:30:18.440 but I do not want to get to the point

00:30:21.600 where unelected unaccountable judges

00:30:24.200 appointed by who knows who

00:30:25.500 become the deciders

00:30:27.660 for who gets to be

00:30:29.300 a political candidate or not

00:30:32.180 so I do want

00:30:33.720 the deference to be

00:30:35.140 to the political parties

00:30:36.300 to make up their own rules

00:30:37.300 and if they

00:30:37.720 make up rules unfairly

00:30:39.300 let the voters punish them

00:30:40.520 so I think

00:30:42.320 Patrick Brown

00:30:42.980 again I'm putting myself in his shoes

00:30:44.260 even though I don't support the guy at all

00:30:45.920 I think he's wise to lawyer up

00:30:49.980 because

00:30:50.320 I think it's quite likely

00:30:51.760 he doesn't

00:30:52.400 he hasn't had full due process

00:30:54.560 and

00:30:55.080 even if he knows he's cooked

00:30:57.840 and I think he's cooked

00:30:58.720 I think he would have lost to Pierre Polia

00:31:01.000 I think that

00:31:02.600 he has a hopeless legal appeal

00:31:05.240 but he wants to show that he's going down fighting

00:31:08.180 Patrick Brown

00:31:09.420 I know one thing about him

00:31:10.640 he's unethical 0.80

00:31:11.620 I think in some ways he's even sociopathic

00:31:13.860 but he has a work ethic and an ambition

00:31:16.140 that is quite remarkable

00:31:18.100 and he's being dumped and thrown out time and again

00:31:22.380 but he seems to bounce back

00:31:23.680 I think he wants to end his dalliance

00:31:26.660 with the Conservative Party of Canada leadership

00:31:28.220 going down fighting

00:31:29.840 so he can later say

00:31:30.880 well I never accepted

00:31:32.140 I did anything wrong

00:31:33.040 well I tried to fight

00:31:34.780 but I was shut out

00:31:35.620 so I'm going to run for

00:31:37.520 mayor of

00:31:38.780 Thunder Bay

00:31:40.160 whatever his next move is

00:31:41.880 I'm going to run for

00:31:43.520 premier of

00:31:44.660 Nova Scotia

00:31:45.700 and I'm throwing those out there

00:31:47.440 because they're so disconnected to him

00:31:49.440 just like the city of Brampton

00:31:50.980 he had very little to do with Brampton

00:31:52.440 until one day he said

00:31:53.380 oh I can become mayor there

00:31:55.080 because I was thrown out

00:31:56.180 as the PC party leader of Ontario

00:31:58.040 so I think that Patrick Brown is young enough

00:32:00.220 and has enough connections and money

00:32:03.680 and certainly ambition

00:32:04.960 and cold heartedness

00:32:07.200 that he has not done his political career

00:32:09.360 so he wants to end this

00:32:11.280 as positively as possible

00:32:12.920 he does not want to admit anything

00:32:14.540 he wants to say

00:32:15.780 it was rigged

00:32:17.000 he wants to blame others

00:32:18.860 he blames Rebel News

00:32:20.420 he wants to blame Storm

00:32:21.960 so that he can fight another day

00:32:24.180 and say

00:32:24.440 oh that whole thing

00:32:26.120 well that was an inside job

00:32:28.020 I was framed

00:32:29.280 I never had a chance

00:32:30.920 that's why I'd like you to make me

00:32:32.740 mayor of

00:32:33.700 Montreal

00:32:34.760 or whatever he says next

00:32:37.100 oh Ezra

00:32:37.700 what do you have against the people of Montreal

00:32:39.600 and Nova Scotia

00:32:40.600 and Thunder Bay

00:32:41.240 but you know what

00:32:42.120 going back to what you said at the beginning

00:32:43.360 I agree with you Ezra

00:32:44.360 that I wish there was more transparency

00:32:46.580 from the CPC

00:32:47.740 in terms of the nitty gritty details

00:32:50.820 of what Patrick Brown did wrong

00:32:53.900 although I tend

00:32:55.280 if you're telling me

00:32:56.580 who do you believe

00:32:57.520 Patrick Brown

00:32:58.280 or fill in anyone in the world

00:33:00.820 I'm going with Mr. Rex

00:33:03.220 but the other thing my friend

00:33:05.040 do you

00:33:06.160 I think

00:33:07.020 whatever the reason is

00:33:08.820 and whether he's guilty or not

00:33:10.920 for that matter

00:33:11.580 we kind of got

00:33:13.080 a foreshadowing

00:33:14.340 of his leadership style

00:33:15.820 by him being

00:33:17.080 the mayor

00:33:17.740 of Brampton

00:33:18.840 the last four years

00:33:20.660 and by that Ezra

00:33:21.780 as you know

00:33:23.180 he has

00:33:24.500 effectively

00:33:25.280 cancelled

00:33:26.160 the last

00:33:27.320 four

00:33:28.040 city of Brampton

00:33:29.280 council meetings

00:33:30.200 he's got some

00:33:31.400 minion councillors

00:33:32.580 that are loyal to him

00:33:33.520 they simply do not show up

00:33:35.280 there is no quorum

00:33:36.680 therefore the meeting

00:33:37.700 is not legal

00:33:38.680 and the reason why

00:33:40.360 he wants these meetings cancelled

00:33:42.380 is because on the docket

00:33:44.260 there are motions

00:33:45.160 about several

00:33:46.640 forensic investigations

00:33:48.420 about how he's done

00:33:50.100 contracts in the city

00:33:51.360 how he's done hiring

00:33:52.740 you know Ezra

00:33:53.680 to me

00:33:54.060 if this guy was prime minister

00:33:55.580 it'd be like

00:33:57.100 proroguing parliament

00:33:58.740 all the time

00:33:59.940 in case something sensitive

00:34:01.460 comes up

00:34:02.720 what are your thoughts

00:34:03.820 on that my friend?

00:34:05.260 Yeah I know you and I

00:34:06.060 talked a bit about this

00:34:07.120 earlier this week

00:34:07.760 and I agree with you

00:34:08.740 and you know

00:34:09.920 you'll never know

00:34:11.100 what didn't happen

00:34:12.960 what might have happened

00:34:14.180 we'll never know

00:34:14.720 we can only speculate

00:34:15.600 but I think that

00:34:17.680 I mean Patrick Brown

00:34:19.580 is in his 40s

00:34:20.580 I think his character

00:34:22.840 is formed

00:34:23.540 and it is very unlikely

00:34:25.200 that his personality

00:34:26.580 and that his flaws

00:34:27.820 and virtues

00:34:28.360 will change

00:34:29.080 I mean it's like

00:34:30.300 cement that has fixed

00:34:31.880 that has set

00:34:33.400 and I think that he has

00:34:35.720 I'm not even going to call them

00:34:37.120 ethical blind spots

00:34:38.200 because that implies

00:34:38.980 that it's somehow

00:34:39.940 accidental or unwitting

00:34:41.760 I think that he is

00:34:42.860 amoral

00:34:44.220 and he will literally

00:34:45.820 do anything

00:34:46.820 and justify the means

00:34:48.940 and if

00:34:50.080 he was derailed here

00:34:52.200 in part by your journalism

00:34:53.960 and in part by other things

00:34:55.120 we don't know

00:34:55.720 we will never know

00:34:57.440 if that saved Canada

00:34:59.340 from an ethical

00:35:00.360 and corruption disaster

00:35:01.780 if

00:35:02.560 I mean we see

00:35:03.640 what Justin Trudeau

00:35:04.940 is doing to the country

00:35:06.160 by installing his cronies

00:35:08.080 in the RCMP

00:35:09.260 in various ministries

00:35:11.880 in

00:35:12.320 like just seeing

00:35:13.780 the disaster

00:35:15.200 that Justin Trudeau is

00:35:17.000 now Justin Trudeau

00:35:18.360 is a globalist

00:35:19.360 and

00:35:20.300 he's 0.90

00:35:21.160 he's a narcissist

00:35:22.200 but in many ways

00:35:23.920 he's not particularly

00:35:24.820 intellectual

00:35:25.420 and he's sort of

00:35:26.560 animated by

00:35:28.200 handlers

00:35:28.900 and others

00:35:29.960 with Patrick Brown

00:35:33.460 I think it's

00:35:34.300 selfish

00:35:34.840 self-serving 0.98

00:35:35.720 and

00:35:37.820 and personally

00:35:38.580 corrupt

00:35:39.200 a lot of his

00:35:40.160 is enriching himself

00:35:41.840 and

00:35:42.660 just personal power

00:35:43.880 and putting someone

00:35:45.200 like that

00:35:45.840 in charge of Canada

00:35:46.960 forget liberal

00:35:48.260 or conservative

00:35:49.480 party labels

00:35:50.200 I think Patrick Brown

00:35:51.840 at the top

00:35:52.620 of the apex

00:35:53.380 of our country

00:35:54.740 in a position

00:35:56.420 where he makes

00:35:57.120 all the major

00:35:57.940 appointments

00:35:58.660 whether it's to the Supreme Court

00:36:00.560 or the ambassadorships

00:36:02.600 or

00:36:03.580 chiefs of staff

00:36:05.060 and cabinet ministers

00:36:05.900 where he

00:36:06.420 and where he's in charge

00:36:08.960 of procurement

00:36:09.800 I think that

00:36:11.500 you know

00:36:12.760 there's a phrase

00:36:14.240 kleptocracy

00:36:15.380 sometimes

00:36:16.580 third world countries

00:36:18.100 sort of banana republics

00:36:19.300 a strong man leader

00:36:20.860 hoovers out 0.96

00:36:22.060 billions of dollars

00:36:23.940 from the country

00:36:24.940 think of Nicolas Maduro

00:36:26.140 and Hugo Chavez

00:36:27.860 in Venezuela

00:36:29.240 I truly think

00:36:31.060 we'll never know

00:36:32.160 we'll never know

00:36:32.900 but someone with

00:36:34.600 the morality

00:36:35.720 and the ethics

00:36:36.540 of Patrick Brown

00:36:38.360 as leader of Canada

00:36:39.740 he could have

00:36:40.840 Venezuela'd us 0.99

00:36:41.940 and I know you're saying

00:36:43.060 oh Ezra

00:36:43.440 that's impossible

00:36:44.180 we have such

00:36:44.940 strong institutions

00:36:46.080 such checks and balances

00:36:47.160 really?

00:36:48.120 show me how those

00:36:48.880 checks and balances

00:36:49.580 have worked over the last

00:36:50.460 two years

00:36:51.000 rebuffing Trudeau

00:36:52.700 but Trudeau 1.00

00:36:53.960 is a lazy man 1.00

00:36:55.100 and Trudeau 0.99

00:36:56.360 sort of floats along

00:36:58.280 gusts of winds

00:36:59.120 while he has

00:37:00.300 a retinue

00:37:01.580 of thinkers

00:37:02.320 around him

00:37:02.900 Trudeau was not

00:37:03.560 really the master

00:37:04.300 of things

00:37:04.860 Patrick Brown

00:37:06.340 would be

00:37:07.580 an obsessive

00:37:09.420 control freak

00:37:10.300 putting his cronies

00:37:11.580 everywhere in the government

00:37:12.740 this is my prediction

00:37:14.200 had he won

00:37:15.660 and we will never know

00:37:17.240 the disasters

00:37:18.480 that were averted

00:37:19.420 by keeping him

00:37:20.740 out of that top chair

00:37:21.780 the people in the city

00:37:22.880 of Brampton

00:37:23.500 are getting a taste

00:37:24.860 of those disasters

00:37:25.740 luckily it's just

00:37:27.040 Brampton sized

00:37:28.120 and not Ontario sized

00:37:29.920 or Canada sized

00:37:30.880 no Ezra

00:37:31.900 I totally agree with you

00:37:32.860 we'll never know for sure

00:37:33.920 but I have a hunch

00:37:34.980 how things would go

00:37:35.900 in this country

00:37:36.620 with Patrick Brown

00:37:37.620 as prime minister

00:37:38.440 and I think he

00:37:39.900 when it comes to

00:37:40.580 the grifting file

00:37:41.560 I think he would make

00:37:42.520 Justin Trudeau

00:37:43.280 look like a Bush leaguer 0.64

00:37:44.500 and I base that

00:37:45.800 on his behavior

00:37:46.640 in the last four years

00:37:47.680 in the city of Brampton

00:37:48.600 people might not know this

00:37:50.160 but when he was elected

00:37:51.160 in 2018

00:37:51.940 Ezra

00:37:52.940 one of his first

00:37:54.380 orders of business

00:37:55.440 was to fire

00:37:56.980 the integrity commissioner

00:37:58.540 at the city of Brampton

00:38:00.140 and replace him

00:38:01.420 with a personal friend

00:38:03.000 so then we exposed him

00:38:04.600 in the hockey rink

00:38:05.460 and there was

00:38:06.160 an investigation

00:38:06.980 the

00:38:07.760 I'm not even going to

00:38:09.200 call it a slap on the wrist

00:38:10.220 the only thing

00:38:11.080 she found him guilty of

00:38:12.460 was not wearing

00:38:13.540 his mask

00:38:14.560 in the arena

00:38:15.300 yeah he's guilty

00:38:15.740 you're guilty

00:38:16.700 of looking so good

00:38:18.060 yeah

00:38:19.040 you know what

00:38:20.260 I mean

00:38:20.660 and it's important

00:38:22.960 and let me close on this

00:38:24.020 it's important that

00:38:24.840 conservatives

00:38:25.480 have this kind of

00:38:27.480 hygiene in their own

00:38:28.380 movement

00:38:28.700 and one of the things

00:38:29.380 I'm most proud of

00:38:30.380 of Rebel News

00:38:31.220 and frankly of you David

00:38:32.260 and I don't think

00:38:32.760 I say it enough

00:38:33.460 is that you in particular

00:38:35.860 are not afraid

00:38:36.820 to hold conservatives

00:38:38.620 to account

00:38:39.320 whereas there are

00:38:40.800 some conservative

00:38:41.440 journalists

00:38:41.900 who would never try

00:38:42.720 like the disgraced

00:38:44.020 Brian Lilly

00:38:44.680 of the Toronto Sun

00:38:46.580 who claims to be

00:38:47.440 conservative

00:38:47.880 but would never say

00:38:48.640 anything critical

00:38:49.320 of Doug Ford

00:38:50.740 now that's partly

00:38:51.400 because his mistress

00:38:52.900 is Doug Ford's

00:38:54.000 communications assistant

00:38:55.040 but it's also

00:38:56.860 because he 0.99

00:38:57.640 sucks up to power 0.97

00:38:58.920 and on the left 1.00

00:39:00.400 we see that a lot

00:39:01.360 we see

00:39:02.240 the Toronto Star

00:39:03.620 the CBC

00:39:04.240 who are very good

00:39:04.980 at holding conservatives

00:39:05.740 to account

00:39:06.260 put on kids gloves

00:39:07.940 when dealing

00:39:09.080 with liberal politicians

00:39:10.120 especially Trudeau

00:39:11.680 one of the things

00:39:13.000 that I think

00:39:13.420 makes Rebel News

00:39:14.120 special

00:39:14.560 and that I personally

00:39:15.320 believe in

00:39:15.980 is that we are

00:39:17.620 we hold conservatives

00:39:19.280 to account

00:39:19.940 maybe even more

00:39:21.200 vigorously

00:39:21.720 than we hold

00:39:22.220 liberals to account

00:39:23.020 because we feel

00:39:24.200 disappointed

00:39:24.800 and tricked

00:39:25.860 when conservatives

00:39:26.820 are not conservative

00:39:27.620 I don't think

00:39:28.580 anyone in the country

00:39:29.640 has been tougher

00:39:31.280 on Jason Kenney

00:39:32.100 than we have been

00:39:32.800 I think we have been

00:39:35.020 very vigorous

00:39:35.640 against Doug Ford

00:39:36.440 yep

00:39:37.000 we were very vigorous

00:39:38.600 Ford's

00:39:39.140 critics

00:39:40.000 excuse me

00:39:40.540 of Aaron O'Toole

00:39:41.420 and I think

00:39:43.180 that other journalists

00:39:44.320 would have said

00:39:44.680 well you're conservative

00:39:45.540 go easy

00:39:46.120 on the conservative guy

00:39:47.120 no

00:39:47.460 because we're not

00:39:48.920 loyal to a party

00:39:49.940 we're not loyal

00:39:51.540 to a person

00:39:52.560 or a politician

00:39:53.680 or a prince

00:39:55.140 we're loyal

00:39:56.160 to the ideas

00:39:57.040 the system

00:39:58.260 of accountability

00:39:58.940 and democracy

00:39:59.780 and so I think

00:40:01.580 it's interesting

00:40:02.440 that the person

00:40:04.360 who did the most

00:40:05.480 vigorous investigation

00:40:08.100 into the character

00:40:08.940 of Patrick Brown

00:40:10.400 was not the Toronto Star

00:40:11.880 not a Brampton newspaper

00:40:13.320 not the CBC

00:40:14.280 not the Globe and Mail

00:40:15.320 despite their

00:40:15.880 massive resources

00:40:16.760 it was by a

00:40:18.500 conservative news

00:40:19.340 organization

00:40:20.000 and by a young man

00:40:21.340 named David Menzies

00:40:22.800 and his understudy

00:40:23.660 Lincoln Jay

00:40:24.220 and that

00:40:25.060 there's something

00:40:25.640 special about that

00:40:26.800 that the conservative

00:40:28.260 outlet

00:40:28.980 Rebel News

00:40:29.860 has been keeping

00:40:31.160 the house clean

00:40:31.980 when it comes to

00:40:33.240 so-called conservatives

00:40:34.380 like Patrick Brown

00:40:35.140 well Ezra

00:40:36.240 I want to thank you

00:40:37.380 for your

00:40:38.420 kind words

00:40:39.620 and listen

00:40:40.600 my friend

00:40:41.100 we could talk

00:40:42.440 all day

00:40:42.940 about this

00:40:43.680 until the cows

00:40:44.400 come home

00:40:44.860 and speaking of cows

00:40:45.640 I want to wish you

00:40:47.260 a happy stampede

00:40:48.800 weekend

00:40:49.740 I don't know

00:40:50.620 if you know this

00:40:51.120 or not Ezra

00:40:51.880 but when I started

00:40:52.880 my journalism career

00:40:53.820 in Alberta

00:40:54.340 one of my first

00:40:55.340 assignments

00:40:55.760 was going to

00:40:56.540 the 1985

00:40:57.320 Smoky Lake

00:40:58.460 Alberta Rodeo

00:40:59.540 that was my

00:41:00.740 first rodeo

00:41:01.560 I decided to do

00:41:02.600 George Plimpton

00:41:03.360 journalism

00:41:03.840 by riding a bull

00:41:04.980 it was the

00:41:05.840 bucking bull

00:41:06.440 champion

00:41:06.900 of the province

00:41:07.700 the previous year

00:41:08.600 ended up in hospital

00:41:10.040 so it was my

00:41:10.800 last rodeo

00:41:11.860 please Ezra

00:41:12.920 for goodness sakes

00:41:13.860 don't do

00:41:14.680 what I did

00:41:15.520 don't do the 1.00

00:41:16.100 stupidity of 1.00

00:41:16.780 getting on a bull 1.00

00:41:17.820 or anything

00:41:18.920 with hooves

00:41:20.060 and you know

00:41:21.560 have a great weekend

00:41:22.580 and we're all

00:41:23.420 going to look forward

00:41:23.960 to your coverage

00:41:25.080 of the debate

00:41:25.680 thank you so much

00:41:26.780 my friend

00:41:27.300 thank you

00:41:28.480 and that was

00:41:30.760 Ezra Levent

00:41:34.200 more to come

00:41:37.880 well folks

00:41:50.540 newscasts

00:41:51.340 for the last

00:41:51.960 few days

00:41:52.720 in Canada

00:41:53.560 has been

00:41:54.500 the latest

00:41:55.700 Patrick Brown

00:41:56.600 scandal

00:41:57.080 and of course

00:41:57.660 you had lots

00:41:59.320 to say

00:41:59.680 about it

00:42:00.300 as well

00:42:00.900 Bob Wallace

00:42:02.460 writes

00:42:02.920 this guy

00:42:04.000 Patrick

00:42:04.780 politics

00:42:05.620 was a laser

00:42:06.800 guided

00:42:07.260 professional

00:42:08.220 choice

00:42:08.740 for him

00:42:09.180 lying

00:42:10.300 cheating

00:42:10.980 stealing

00:42:11.600 from the

00:42:12.040 taxpayer

00:42:12.580 keep it up

00:42:13.720 rebels

00:42:14.040 well thanks so much

00:42:15.120 for that comment

00:42:15.800 my friend

00:42:16.240 but here's the deal

00:42:17.220 wouldn't you say

00:42:18.420 by now

00:42:19.080 Patrick should

00:42:20.740 learn from his

00:42:21.660 mistakes

00:42:22.180 but it's the

00:42:23.300 same old

00:42:23.940 same old

00:42:24.680 regardless what

00:42:25.540 campaign he's in

00:42:26.600 he breaks the

00:42:28.060 rules

00:42:28.320 he gets caught

00:42:29.000 breaking the

00:42:29.500 rules

00:42:29.820 and then he

00:42:31.060 goes out

00:42:31.580 and depicts

00:42:32.200 himself as

00:42:33.220 the victim

00:42:33.740 of some

00:42:34.560 conspiracy plot

00:42:36.400 to get him

00:42:37.060 no Patrick

00:42:38.460 maybe the

00:42:39.140 problem

00:42:39.580 is you

00:42:40.840 we agree

00:42:42.100 to disagree

00:42:42.880 writes

00:42:43.440 his first

00:42:44.260 response

00:42:44.740 to the

00:42:45.080 news

00:42:45.440 is

00:42:45.880 you're

00:42:46.640 not

00:42:46.980 supposed

00:42:47.420 to be

00:42:48.000 here

00:42:48.380 to make

00:42:49.220 it worse

00:42:49.700 the legacy

00:42:50.360 media

00:42:50.880 would call

00:42:51.740 the news

00:42:52.340 inappropriate

00:42:53.260 we all

00:42:54.520 know this

00:42:54.960 is true 0.89

00:42:55.360 yeah isn't

00:43:05.980 the

00:43:06.200 stories

00:43:06.660 or they

00:43:08.000 then run

00:43:08.700 with the

00:43:09.100 story

00:43:09.560 themselves

00:43:10.180 but they

00:43:49.960 Rebel News

00:43:50.440 here at

00:43:51.260 Parliament Hill

00:43:52.020 well there is

00:43:52.860 a group of

00:43:53.440 people with

00:43:54.880 loudspeakers

00:43:56.320 it would appear

00:43:56.960 and it

00:43:57.780 seems that

00:43:58.600 bylaw is

00:43:59.360 on the

00:43:59.740 scene

00:44:00.100 to

00:44:01.000 I guess

00:44:02.300 eject them

00:44:02.960 ticket them

00:44:03.580 it's hard

00:44:04.340 to tell

00:44:04.800 what's going

00:44:05.380 on

00:44:05.760 but we're

00:44:06.840 going to

00:44:07.060 be here

00:44:07.600 and see

00:44:08.160 what goes

00:44:08.800 down

00:44:09.200 in the

00:44:09.860 moments

00:44:10.160 ahead

00:44:10.580 sir

00:44:11.080 can you

00:44:12.380 tell me

00:44:12.680 what the

00:44:12.940 issue is

00:44:13.340 here

00:44:13.500 please

00:44:13.820 the issue

00:44:14.300 is that

00:44:14.740 we had

00:44:15.060 a permit

00:44:16.100 on Parliament

00:44:16.540 Hill

00:44:16.780 for speeches

00:44:18.120 DJs

00:44:19.020 live music

00:44:19.540 we got in

00:44:20.660 there and

00:44:21.220 none of our

00:44:21.600 people came

00:44:21.980 in because

00:44:22.400 they're getting

00:44:22.800 strip searched

00:44:23.340 not strip

00:44:24.020 searched

00:44:24.200 but searched

00:44:24.780 their bags

00:44:25.740 are getting

00:44:25.940 gone through

00:44:26.320 their phones

00:44:26.720 are getting

00:44:26.920 checked

00:44:27.220 so nobody

00:44:27.760 wanted to

00:44:28.040 come in

00:44:28.320 rightfully so

00:44:28.900 so we tried

00:44:29.620 to bring our

00:44:29.880 speakers out

00:44:30.220 to the street

00:44:30.660 and OPS

00:44:31.220 shut that

00:44:31.640 down

00:44:31.940 and why is

00:44:33.040 that sir

00:44:33.340 because

00:44:33.540 Wellington

00:44:33.900 Street

00:44:34.240 is closed

00:44:34.740 off

00:44:35.060 it has

00:44:35.440 been since

00:44:35.980 January

00:44:36.480 basically

00:44:37.060 so what's

00:44:37.580 going on

00:44:38.020 that's right

00:44:38.580 well they're

00:44:39.080 saying we don't

00:44:39.440 have a permit

00:44:39.860 which we don't

00:44:41.620 but if we

00:44:42.940 stay mobile

00:44:43.760 we can do

00:44:44.620 our speeches

00:44:45.020 just like we do

00:44:45.560 when we do

00:44:45.820 our marches

00:44:46.260 it's odd

00:44:47.220 because the

00:44:48.520 space from

00:44:49.420 Parliament Hill

00:44:50.000 to the street

00:44:50.620 here on

00:44:50.980 Wellington

00:44:51.260 is just a

00:44:51.880 matter of a

00:44:52.320 few metres

00:44:52.840 isn't it

00:44:53.380 that's correct

00:44:54.220 yeah this is

00:44:54.700 the Canada

00:44:55.060 we live in

00:44:55.540 now so

00:44:56.000 we'll get

00:44:56.360 used to this

00:44:56.940 you almost

00:44:58.180 expect to see

00:44:58.800 football guys

00:44:59.500 with the chains

00:45:00.120 come out

00:45:00.520 and measure

00:45:00.840 the distance

00:45:01.380 but so how

00:45:02.260 is this going

00:45:02.640 to be resolved

00:45:03.340 well that's

00:45:04.760 yet to be seen

00:45:05.320 but we're

00:45:06.640 pretty adaptable

00:45:07.580 so we'll find

00:45:08.600 a way

00:45:08.920 we either do

00:45:09.800 it here

00:45:10.180 keep moving

00:45:10.840 or if PPS

00:45:12.100 wants to work

00:45:12.620 with us

00:45:12.860 and we can

00:45:13.140 get our

00:45:13.360 speakers inside

00:45:14.160 the fence

00:45:14.500 and make

00:45:15.280 our speeches

00:45:15.620 happen

00:45:15.940 and have they

00:45:16.680 given you

00:45:17.100 any threats

00:45:17.600 in terms of

00:45:18.200 fines or

00:45:19.060 anything like

00:45:19.760 that

00:45:20.040 yeah they did

00:45:20.820 threaten to

00:45:21.760 fine us

00:45:22.060 for our

00:45:22.460 speakers

00:45:22.720 and they

00:45:23.240 also threaten

00:45:23.720 to take

00:45:24.220 them if we

00:45:25.120 didn't turn

00:45:25.560 them off

00:45:25.900 so

00:45:26.220 and you

00:45:26.840 just want

00:45:27.180 to play

00:45:27.420 music on

00:45:27.960 your speakers

00:45:28.460 right

00:45:28.780 music and

00:45:29.480 speeches

00:45:29.720 that's correct

00:45:30.260 yeah

00:45:30.640 on Canada's

00:45:31.360 birthday

00:45:31.620 does it feel

00:45:32.120 like Canada

00:45:32.620 these days

00:45:33.100 to you

00:45:33.860 uh

00:45:34.180 North

00:45:34.440 Kranida

00:45:34.840 yes

00:45:35.180 officer

00:45:35.920 can you

00:45:36.260 tell me

00:45:36.540 what's

00:45:36.800 happening

00:45:37.080 here

00:45:37.320 please

00:45:37.600 sir officer

00:45:41.960 can you

00:45:42.280 tell me

00:45:42.540 what's

00:45:42.780 happening

00:45:43.080 here

00:45:43.340 what

00:45:43.540 the

00:45:43.820 officer

00:45:52.340 could you

00:45:52.780 kindly

00:45:53.040 tell me

00:45:53.440 what's

00:45:53.700 happening

00:45:53.980 here

00:45:54.180 today

00:45:54.520 they're

00:46:04.660 telling us

00:46:05.120 what to

00:46:05.480 do

00:46:05.700 where to

00:46:06.060 go

00:46:06.320 where to

00:46:07.060 stand

00:46:07.400 what we

00:46:08.060 can say

00:46:08.600 it's horrible

00:46:09.540 man

00:46:09.900 I thought

00:46:10.720 protesting

00:46:11.300 was allowed

00:46:11.860 in Canada

00:46:12.360 we want

00:46:13.100 peace

00:46:13.600 right

00:46:13.980 so we're

00:46:14.660 willing

00:46:14.920 we're going

00:46:15.560 to work

00:46:15.860 with them

00:46:16.240 and there

00:46:17.220 is a permit

00:46:17.780 for this

00:46:18.300 we're going

00:46:19.020 in

00:46:19.300 I told them

00:46:20.260 a permit

00:46:20.760 a permit

00:46:21.080 for what

00:46:21.500 sir

00:46:21.700 for the

00:46:22.200 for the music

00:46:22.840 but we can't

00:46:23.640 get through

00:46:24.000 they're checking

00:46:24.500 everybody with

00:46:25.220 metal detectors

00:46:25.960 huge lineups

00:46:27.380 we can't

00:46:27.960 get in

00:46:28.480 right

00:46:28.840 so I said

00:46:29.880 to her

00:46:30.060 let us

00:46:30.600 in

00:46:31.000 so they don't

00:46:31.940 want music

00:46:32.620 on Parliament

00:46:33.200 Hill

00:46:33.460 is that clear

00:46:34.220 exactly

00:46:35.040 not out

00:46:35.880 here

00:46:36.280 why are you

00:46:38.160 touching me

00:46:38.640 no it's

00:46:39.360 okay

00:46:39.620 no it's

00:46:39.980 not okay

00:46:40.380 why did

00:46:40.740 you just

00:46:40.980 touch me

00:46:41.360 why did

00:46:42.120 you just

00:46:42.340 touch me

00:46:42.600 what

00:46:42.800 if I did

00:46:43.520 that to

00:46:43.780 you

00:46:43.880 would I

00:46:45.240 get charged

00:46:45.640 with assault

00:46:46.080 I probably

00:46:46.920 would

00:46:47.220 they're not

00:46:49.340 letting me

00:46:49.640 back in

00:46:50.020 you and I

00:46:52.660 have talked

00:46:53.100 I know

00:46:55.000 from that

00:46:55.260 he just

00:46:55.600 assaulted me

00:46:56.400 they're holding

00:46:57.480 the line

00:46:57.860 so I can

00:46:58.260 talk with

00:46:58.680 your guy

00:47:01.120 trying to

00:47:01.340 get back

00:47:01.980 gave a piece

00:47:02.580 of my

00:47:02.840 personal property

00:47:03.720 to someone

00:47:04.100 in there

00:47:04.460 and I'm

00:47:04.880 trying to

00:47:14.760 the hassle

00:47:15.260 open some

00:47:16.020 more

00:47:16.260 gates

00:47:16.660 so that

00:47:17.380 we can

00:47:18.000 get in

00:47:18.460 faster

00:47:18.940 let us

00:47:19.460 go in

00:47:19.920 let us

00:47:23.540 in

00:47:23.680 open the

00:47:24.840 gates

00:47:25.540 please

00:47:27.000 man

00:47:28.560 a

00:47:28.820 please

00:47:30.560 is there

00:47:33.140 actually a

00:47:33.480 reason

00:47:33.700 officer

00:47:34.080 why you

00:47:34.440 touched

00:47:34.680 that

00:47:34.900 man

00:47:35.120 you won't

00:47:37.840 talk to

00:47:38.200 me

00:47:38.360 right

00:47:38.660 okay

00:47:41.720 I'm just

00:47:42.360 trying to

00:47:42.600 get your

00:47:42.840 side of

00:47:43.140 the story

00:47:43.480 out

00:47:43.660 so that's

00:47:44.020 all

00:47:44.180 so here's

00:47:45.180 a familiar

00:47:45.540 face to

00:47:46.320 rebel news

00:47:46.980 viewers

00:47:47.300 as Jim

00:47:47.760 Curry

00:47:48.120 of the

00:47:48.680 bubble

00:47:49.020 bus

00:47:49.280 last time

00:47:49.700 he was

00:47:49.940 in Ottawa

00:47:50.260 I think

00:47:50.580 the bubble

00:47:51.600 bus got

00:47:52.080 towed twice

00:47:52.920 from private

00:47:53.540 property

00:47:54.000 but that's

00:47:55.080 the way they

00:47:55.460 roll here

00:47:55.860 in Ottawa

00:47:56.120 Jim you

00:47:56.720 were there

00:47:57.260 when the

00:47:57.720 police came

00:47:58.480 or the

00:47:58.800 by law

00:47:59.160 enforcement

00:47:59.580 officers

00:48:00.160 on to

00:48:01.140 Parliament

00:48:01.440 Hill

00:48:01.820 and what

00:48:02.940 is going

00:48:03.560 on

00:48:03.780 they can

00:48:04.880 have the

00:48:05.340 speakers

00:48:05.660 on Parliament

00:48:06.340 Hill

00:48:06.600 but they

00:48:06.920 can't have

00:48:07.380 it a few

00:48:07.760 metres

00:48:08.120 over here

00:48:09.520 on Wellington

00:48:10.140 Street

00:48:10.540 why is that

00:48:11.140 they applied

00:48:12.360 for a permit

00:48:13.060 they got the

00:48:13.760 permit for all

00:48:14.420 day then they

00:48:14.980 cancelled the

00:48:15.520 permit

00:48:15.780 and then

00:48:16.600 after they

00:48:17.160 cancelled the

00:48:17.660 permit

00:48:17.900 they let

00:48:18.240 them have

00:48:18.500 it again

00:48:18.760 but only

00:48:19.160 between 5

00:48:19.760 o'clock

00:48:20.020 and 8

00:48:20.280 o'clock

00:48:20.640 and because

00:48:21.360 they're

00:48:21.520 restricting

00:48:21.860 everybody

00:48:22.200 from going

00:48:22.780 through

00:48:23.200 on a very

00:48:23.980 very slow

00:48:24.480 fashion

00:48:25.000 nobody can

00:48:25.960 get up top

00:48:26.640 so when they

00:48:27.360 had the

00:48:27.720 speakers up top

00:48:28.480 they moved

00:48:28.860 them closer

00:48:29.360 and then the

00:48:30.220 parliamentary police

00:48:31.360 had a problem

00:48:31.880 with it

00:48:32.160 they said

00:48:32.500 okay fine

00:48:33.120 we're gonna

00:48:33.400 go out to

00:48:33.660 the street

00:48:33.980 they came

00:48:34.580 out to

00:48:34.800 the street

00:48:35.140 the bylaw

00:48:35.840 shut them

00:48:36.200 down

00:48:36.440 and you

00:48:36.900 heard the

00:48:37.200 story from

00:48:37.620 them

00:48:37.820 well there

00:48:38.220 you have

00:48:38.480 it folks

00:48:38.820 I think

00:48:39.420 there was

00:48:39.800 some kind

00:48:40.340 of compromise

00:48:40.960 reached

00:48:41.640 it looks

00:48:42.320 like

00:48:42.720 the speakers

00:48:43.940 are allowed

00:48:45.060 on the

00:48:45.760 other side

00:48:46.780 of the fence

00:48:47.760 separating

00:48:49.040 Parliament Hill

00:48:50.380 from Wellington

00:48:51.260 Street

00:48:51.700 so in other

00:48:53.480 words all

00:48:53.900 that kerfuffle

00:48:54.620 all that

00:48:55.680 nonsense

00:48:56.220 all that

00:48:57.060 law enforcement

00:48:57.900 theater

00:48:58.380 it all came

00:48:59.760 down to

00:49:00.660 a compromise

00:49:01.800 in which

00:49:02.320 the speakers

00:49:02.940 were moved

00:49:03.520 maybe what

00:49:04.340 10 centimeters

00:49:06.280 well at least

00:49:08.080 they are

00:49:08.720 getting to

00:49:09.400 broadcast

00:49:09.780 on Wellington

00:49:10.580 Street

00:49:11.040 so they

00:49:12.400 won I

00:49:12.920 think

00:49:13.300 protest

00:49:14.740 contrary

00:49:15.680 to popular

00:49:16.840 belief

00:49:17.220 or the

00:49:18.120 popular

00:49:18.440 belief

00:49:18.740 by the

00:49:19.080 Liberal

00:49:19.260 Party

00:49:19.680 of

00:49:19.940 Canada

00:49:20.360 supported

00:49:21.700 by
