Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Before the truckers, before the blockades, one man stood up： Pastor Artur Pawlowski

00:00:00.200 Hello, my Rebels. Today on the podcast, I talk with Arthur Pavlovsky, the Lion of Calgary.

00:00:06.720 He actually had an amazing courtroom victory on Friday that I don't think is being reported

00:00:12.360 anywhere. I'll tell you about it and the strange way it happened. But first, let me invite

00:00:16.220 you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast.

00:00:20.480 It's eight bucks a month, but you get all the video. I mean, we don't just show you

00:00:24.900 who we're talking to, but we often have video clips and charts and images. We really put

00:00:29.320 some effort into it. I think you'd get a kick out of it. And eight bucks a month might

00:00:33.100 not sound a lot to you, but I tell you, it really adds up for us here. And that's how

00:00:36.580 we run our company, because we don't take any handouts from Trudeau and it shows. Just

00:00:40.440 go to rebelnewsplus.com. All right, here's today's show.

00:00:59.320 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:12.840 Before there were the truckers, before there was the great festival of freedom in Ottawa,

00:01:18.720 before the Coutts blockade in the Windsor Ambassador Bridge, there was one man who stood up and rallied

00:01:27.240 not just his country, but indeed the world. You remember the clip? And his telltale accent,

00:01:33.200 get out! Get out! He said, remember this clip?

00:01:38.240 Please get out. Get out of this property. Immediately get out. Get out of this property. 0.99

00:01:45.540 Immediately. Out. I don't want to hear anything. Out of this property. Immediately. I don't want to hear a word.

00:01:51.080 Out. Out. Out. Out. Out. Out of this property. Immediately out. Immediately go out and don't come back.

00:02:13.020 I don't want to hear a word. I don't want to hear a word. I don't want to hear a word. I don't care what you have to say.

00:02:23.620 Out. Out. Out. Out of this property, you Nazis. Out. Out.

00:02:30.560 Well, that man is Arthur Pawlowski, and indeed he was one of the first victims of lockdown bullying by our police.

00:02:59.480 In fact, he was client number one of the Fight the Fines project. It was very early days, just weeks into the lockdown.

00:03:08.580 You know what they said, two weeks to flatten the curve. And Arthur Pawlowski was doing what Arthur does.

00:03:13.320 He was in the streets. It was snowing, and he was feeding the homeless and the hungry.

00:03:18.620 The lowest of the low, though so low they're sometimes not even allowed, into homeless shelters.

00:03:23.500 He was out there feeding them. And police came up to him, physically pushed him around, and gave him a massive fine.

00:03:31.540 Forget this. Having an illegal gathering. This is a video that so enraged me, I called up Pastor Arthur and said,

00:03:39.860 we've got to fight back. And he became the first client. Take a look and remember what it was like early in 2020.

00:03:47.100 This is not an event. This is not your picnic in the neighborhood for the fun of it.

00:03:54.140 We are providing necessities of life to those that you and your bosses refuse to provide.

00:04:01.740 You've got all kinds of events happening right now, and yet the Congress finest are not bothering them.

00:04:11.200 This is the hypocrisy of this city. This is the hypocrisy of our wonderful, fearless leaders.

00:04:19.120 Where is the head named she? The mayor of this city. 1.00

00:04:22.580 Can you guys do the respectful social distancing?

00:04:24.760 Stand back from me a little bit. I need feet. I need feet. I need feet. Stand back.

00:04:29.640 Or what? You're going to f***ing threaten me and f***ing abuse me?

00:04:33.300 Hey, guys. Do not do that.

00:04:35.680 Tell him not to touch me.

00:04:37.140 Six feet away for everybody. That's for everybody.

00:04:40.540 Well, now it's almost the end of 2022, and yet Arthur Pawlowski is not yet done with the law,

00:04:48.400 although he has won every single case he has had, thanks to the donations to the Democracy Fund

00:04:54.920 and the outstanding legal team led by Sarah Miller in Calgary.

00:04:58.380 Well, he is not done yet.

00:04:59.640 In fact, in February, Pastor Arthur faces charges being the first person prosecuted

00:05:05.920 under the Critical Infrastructure Defense Act,

00:05:09.020 a law designed to stop eco-terrorism against pipelines.

00:05:13.720 They're using it against him for peaceful commentary.

00:05:17.540 But the reason we're having today's special show with Pastor Arthur Pawlowski

00:05:22.740 is because on Friday, Pastor Arthur had a tremendous victory

00:05:27.480 that sort of slipped under the radar, obviously, of the mainstream media.

00:05:31.340 They don't care.

00:05:32.160 But it was incredibly interesting and important.

00:05:35.780 I'll tell you about it from what I heard from the lawyer,

00:05:38.460 but let's bring in the man himself, Pastor Arthur Pawlowski.

00:05:42.520 Great to see you again.

00:05:43.840 I'm delighted that you're at home.

00:05:46.040 You spent almost 50 days in prison in the past year or two

00:05:50.460 because of police bullying.

00:05:52.480 But you had a day in court on Friday.

00:05:55.580 It was supposed to be one of several days of trial in a row.

00:06:00.240 But in the very first moments of the court, something unusual happened.

00:06:05.520 What was it like?

00:06:06.160 Were you there in the courtroom itself, Pastor Arthur?

00:06:09.240 Yes, I was.

00:06:10.320 This was our sixth day, believe it or not.

00:06:13.760 And by the way, I spent 50 days the last time in jail

00:06:17.860 before they kept us, me and my brother David, for a few days at a time.

00:06:22.900 So I have been privileged, put it this way, to see a number of jails

00:06:28.760 and, of course, the Riemann Center as well, solitary confinement, metal cages.

00:06:35.040 I remember when they kidnapped me from Calgary,

00:06:37.780 took me hundreds of miles away to Edmonton,

00:06:40.640 placed me in max pot for the most dangerous offenders.

00:06:45.480 And, of course, after in a psych ward

00:06:48.320 without the evaluation of the doctor's knowledge, even, of the AHS.

00:06:53.300 So, yeah, the ordeal was crazy.

00:06:55.280 But let's talk about what happened this Friday.

00:06:58.480 And here is the frustration that I have

00:07:01.020 because today's politicians are talking about the courts,

00:07:04.940 that the Crown prosecutors are overwhelmed

00:07:07.220 and there's not enough of them

00:07:09.040 and the criminals are going out free.

00:07:12.160 They're getting away with the murder, literally.

00:07:15.140 And why?

00:07:16.360 Because, of course, there is not enough Crown prosecutors.

00:07:20.620 Because they are not interested, really, in fighting the real criminals.

00:07:26.160 They're after pastors.

00:07:28.060 They're after people that actually save lives.

00:07:31.640 They're after people that dare to oppose today's tyranny.

00:07:35.700 And that's exactly what happened to me.

00:07:39.000 And we spent two days.

00:07:40.380 Actually, Sarah spent two days in February

00:07:43.040 when I was still in solitary confinement.

00:07:45.720 Then three days we had the trial.

00:07:48.560 The moment we stepped in,

00:07:50.480 Sarah agreed on the statements of facts.

00:07:53.000 We agreed.

00:07:53.900 Yes, in fact, Your Honor, I did feed those people.

00:07:57.500 The videos presented are from my own live feed,

00:08:01.660 from Facebook, from YouTube.

00:08:03.000 There's no dispute that I was there.

00:08:05.300 I fed those people.

00:08:06.340 Now let's move and look into the merits of the case.

00:08:09.240 But, of course, the...

00:08:09.940 Okay, let me just pause for a second, Arthur.

00:08:10.880 I just want to make sure this is easy for our viewers to follow.

00:08:13.780 And you've been referring to a bunch of different interactions with the law,

00:08:17.300 and all of them are heartbreaking and infuriating.

00:08:20.240 And we can touch on a number of them,

00:08:22.600 but I just want to let people know sort of the breaking news.

00:08:26.660 So I just want to pull it back to Friday.

00:08:29.320 So on Friday, it was going to be one day of several days of a trial

00:08:33.900 under a public health order issued by the province of Alberta

00:08:38.380 claiming that you had a private gathering

00:08:41.980 when clearly it was not a private gathering.

00:08:43.920 It was in public.

00:08:44.640 You cannot criminalize a public gathering in Canada,

00:08:48.900 even though politicians might try to.

00:08:50.960 They were prosecuting you,

00:08:52.420 and I understand that they were seeking up to $100,000 in fines.

00:08:57.500 So I just want to set the table.

00:08:59.240 So the prosecutor's coming to get you.

00:09:02.040 You've got Sarah Miller of the Democracy Fund.

00:09:05.080 This is, you know, what, your 16th hearing since the pandemic.

00:09:09.120 They're clearly targeting you.

00:09:11.300 The prosecutor sends over a massive briefing to your lawyer,

00:09:15.440 Sarah Miller, the night before.

00:09:17.120 You walk into court.

00:09:18.220 You're ready for a battle.

00:09:19.520 Sarah Miller, our hero, our champion,

00:09:22.000 who's done such a great job fighting for you,

00:09:24.060 is ready to fight.

00:09:25.880 And then there was a surprise.

00:09:27.380 Tell us about the surprise,

00:09:28.680 because that's the breaking news

00:09:29.840 that I think our viewers will scratch their head about.

00:09:32.220 You were ready for a trial.

00:09:33.900 What happened?

00:09:35.400 Yes, the crime prosecutor walked in,

00:09:37.840 would not even bow before the courts,

00:09:39.820 would not even acknowledge us,

00:09:41.380 not even say good morning, nothing.

00:09:43.400 And when the judge showed up,

00:09:45.380 she said, we are staying the charges.

00:09:48.060 We're not going to proceed.

00:09:49.560 I mean, wow.

00:09:51.700 After all those months,

00:09:53.620 after two years of this craziness

00:09:57.600 hanging over my head,

00:09:59.380 as you remember,

00:10:00.340 the crime prosecutor, Johnston,

00:10:02.320 used that ticket,

00:10:03.720 that trial against me

00:10:05.900 to keep me in prison,

00:10:07.980 he says to another judge

00:10:09.700 during the bail hearing,

00:10:10.960 Your Honor,

00:10:11.520 this guy has multiple charges.

00:10:13.220 He is not going to obey your orders.

00:10:14.960 He is a lawbreaker.

00:10:16.340 He is a troublemaker.

00:10:17.700 He is a danger to society.

00:10:19.440 He cost the Canadian economy

00:10:20.920 over $400 million worth of damages.

00:10:23.960 And he is inciting people

00:10:25.700 to commit acts of violence and so on.

00:10:27.780 And yet this crown prosecutor

00:10:30.180 during this proceeding just last Friday

00:10:32.260 walks in and, okay, whatever.

00:10:34.740 We're not proceeding.

00:10:35.880 We're staying the charges.

00:10:37.500 The frustration.

00:10:38.720 Yeah.

00:10:39.200 Now, what was the explanation?

00:10:41.220 Because I spoke to your lawyer, Sarah Miller,

00:10:43.600 and she told me that literally

00:10:45.440 on the eve of trial,

00:10:47.680 that this same prosecutor

00:10:49.100 was sending over pages and pages and pages

00:10:51.840 of new filings and new documents.

00:10:54.420 So obviously this crown prosecutor,

00:10:56.520 it seems to me,

00:10:58.080 I mean, why would you do all that hard work

00:11:00.120 if the next morning, literally,

00:11:03.520 you were going to walk into court

00:11:04.620 and abandon the case?

00:11:06.260 To stay a prosecution,

00:11:07.900 that's the technical term

00:11:09.440 for saying to the judge,

00:11:12.180 Your Honor,

00:11:13.560 the crown prosecutors will not proceed.

00:11:16.580 Now, theoretically,

00:11:17.540 they could open it up again in the future.

00:11:19.260 But what I'm trying to understand,

00:11:21.380 Pastor Arthur,

00:11:21.920 is how the night before

00:11:24.360 the crown prosecutor can be out for blood,

00:11:27.520 filing new documents,

00:11:28.680 serving new documents,

00:11:29.780 threatening all sorts of things,

00:11:31.220 and then hours later,

00:11:32.920 walk into court and say,

00:11:33.960 Oh, no,

00:11:34.920 we're not going to proceed.

00:11:36.240 What on earth was her explanation?

00:11:38.020 That was really not a valid explanation.

00:11:43.400 This was just to frustrate us.

00:11:45.480 This was just to waste our resources.

00:11:47.500 As you know,

00:11:48.400 Sarah spent half a night

00:11:50.400 going through the documents.

00:11:52.160 I was told there was 46 pages,

00:11:54.620 a number of binders,

00:11:55.800 so she had to go through it,

00:11:56.960 prepare.

00:11:57.760 The crown suggested before

00:11:59.680 maybe we should postpone the trial.

00:12:02.040 Sarah talked to me.

00:12:02.860 I said,

00:12:03.120 Absolutely not.

00:12:03.980 I want to deal.

00:12:04.860 Let's face the music,

00:12:06.240 head-on collision,

00:12:07.140 whatever happens.

00:12:07.940 I need to deal

00:12:09.180 with all of this craziness.

00:12:11.000 This is two years already.

00:12:13.160 Her official explanation

00:12:14.540 to the judge was that

00:12:15.940 her key witness,

00:12:17.800 and what a joke, Ezra,

00:12:20.000 her key witness

00:12:20.960 that just appeared

00:12:22.380 out of nowhere,

00:12:24.460 while he is on a sick leave,

00:12:27.520 we don't know

00:12:28.200 when he's going to come back.

00:12:29.900 Another interesting fact

00:12:31.280 is that his evidence,

00:12:33.400 which we, of course,

00:12:34.220 provided to them,

00:12:35.740 we're not hiding.

00:12:37.000 It was a public event.

00:12:38.300 There was hundreds

00:12:39.200 of cameras rolling.

00:12:41.080 They used my own feed

00:12:42.740 from my Facebook and YouTube,

00:12:44.540 but miraculously,

00:12:46.940 his body camera

00:12:48.820 and the footage of his,

00:12:50.900 this key, mysterious key witness

00:12:53.160 of the crown prosecutor's case,

00:12:56.680 while his body camera

00:12:57.700 and the footage disappeared,

00:12:59.540 they didn't know

00:12:59.940 how that was possible.

00:13:01.560 They didn't know

00:13:01.960 what happened.

00:13:02.940 It's gone.

00:13:03.900 And now this key witness

00:13:05.540 that the whole thing

00:13:06.980 was built upon,

00:13:08.120 in quote, of course,

00:13:09.220 it's a joke.

00:13:10.520 Well, he is very sick

00:13:11.940 and he is not coming back to work

00:13:14.200 and we do not know

00:13:15.140 if he will ever come back

00:13:17.060 to work as a police officer.

00:13:19.000 Therefore, the crown said

00:13:21.520 we are staying the charges.

00:13:22.960 Yeah, it's obviously a ruse

00:13:24.480 that's simply not credible.

00:13:25.800 As you pointed out,

00:13:27.400 there is an enormous amount

00:13:28.840 of, quote, evidence,

00:13:30.040 evidence, I think,

00:13:31.020 of your lawful conduct.

00:13:33.560 But what, you know,

00:13:34.640 if the crown thinks

00:13:35.420 your conduct was unlawful,

00:13:37.340 there's countless hours

00:13:39.140 of video footage.

00:13:40.120 Like you say,

00:13:40.680 most of it taken by you.

00:13:42.060 If this so-called

00:13:43.340 critical prosecution witness

00:13:45.380 didn't have any video footage

00:13:47.760 of his own,

00:13:48.780 the crown had previously certified

00:13:51.700 that they were ready

00:13:52.560 for trial on this.

00:13:53.660 It's so, you know,

00:13:55.500 this is not a key witness.

00:13:56.880 The key evidence

00:13:57.900 is your own footage.

00:13:59.220 This is the crown prosecutor

00:14:02.680 bullying you,

00:14:04.980 putting you through the stress

00:14:06.380 and expense of a lawyer,

00:14:08.480 of a preparation,

00:14:09.680 thank God,

00:14:10.060 the Democracy Fund

00:14:10.640 is carrying Sarah Miller's cost,

00:14:12.480 but still the stress on you,

00:14:14.180 the time wasting on you,

00:14:15.820 the stigma of this

00:14:17.040 hanging over you,

00:14:18.220 the risk, however remote,

00:14:19.660 of a $100,000 fine,

00:14:21.300 and the fact that this

00:14:22.420 has been going on

00:14:23.120 for such a long time,

00:14:24.640 this is abusive.

00:14:25.680 I don't know if you know this,

00:14:26.520 Arthur,

00:14:26.720 but I used to practice law

00:14:27.720 way back in the day.

00:14:29.460 And there's two tests

00:14:30.820 for whether or not

00:14:31.780 the crown prosecutor

00:14:32.760 should proceed against someone.

00:14:34.360 And they're very common sense.

00:14:36.200 The first is,

00:14:37.740 is it in the public interest?

00:14:39.720 Is this really important

00:14:40.960 for the good of the province

00:14:42.200 that this happened?

00:14:43.360 Of course it fails

00:14:44.860 that first test.

00:14:46.060 You know,

00:14:46.260 what you do on the street

00:14:47.500 is peaceful.

00:14:48.280 In many cases,

00:14:49.380 it's charitable.

00:14:50.500 There's no public interest

00:14:51.620 in prosecuting you.

00:14:52.700 And like you say,

00:14:53.540 when there's such a shortage

00:14:54.300 of prosecutors

00:14:55.020 to go after real criminals.

00:14:56.740 And the second,

00:14:58.360 is there a reasonable

00:14:59.840 likelihood of conviction?

00:15:02.300 And there simply wasn't.

00:15:03.920 It's so bizarre

00:15:05.260 that they literally settled

00:15:07.100 the morning of the trial.

00:15:09.560 And I have to think,

00:15:11.360 why did they put you

00:15:12.180 through this whole thing

00:15:13.020 if they had such a weak case?

00:15:14.380 It's clearly that there's

00:15:15.620 political machinations

00:15:16.640 in the background.

00:15:17.400 The prosecution of you

00:15:19.060 was political to begin with.

00:15:20.760 And maybe there's other politics

00:15:22.220 coming into play now.

00:15:23.140 What do you think?

00:15:24.000 Do you think someone

00:15:24.600 called her off?

00:15:25.560 Do you think some big boss

00:15:26.820 phoned her up that morning

00:15:28.260 and said,

00:15:28.740 hey, prosecutor,

00:15:29.680 you're throwing in the towel?

00:15:31.140 Because it's just weird to me

00:15:32.240 that she was filing

00:15:33.080 all these documents

00:15:33.940 the night before,

00:15:35.080 which must have been

00:15:35.600 a lot of work.

00:15:36.320 Like your lawyer,

00:15:37.420 Sarah Miller,

00:15:37.820 had a lot of work

00:15:38.560 to get ready for it.

00:15:39.980 But it was surely more work

00:15:41.680 for the prosecutor

00:15:42.420 to put together

00:15:43.220 this 46-page brief

00:15:44.780 and all the binders.

00:15:45.620 Like to do that

00:15:46.740 and then the next morning,

00:15:47.600 and you say if she was sulking

00:15:48.940 and she wouldn't even

00:15:50.120 make eye contact

00:15:51.020 or say hello,

00:15:52.220 maybe some boss 0.92

00:15:54.580 called her up in the morning

00:15:56.380 and said,

00:15:56.920 call it off.

00:15:58.780 That's a possible explanation

00:16:00.340 that she wanted to go at you, 0.99

00:16:02.420 but some bigger boss

00:16:03.360 called her off.

00:16:03.960 What do you think?

00:16:05.320 It could be.

00:16:06.040 It's possible.

00:16:07.120 I mean,

00:16:07.360 we have been working

00:16:08.200 in a background

00:16:08.920 from the political,

00:16:10.280 you know,

00:16:10.860 on the political level,

00:16:12.160 trying to talk

00:16:13.500 to the UCP government

00:16:14.620 to, you know,

00:16:15.920 to take their dogs,

00:16:17.400 to call their dogs off

00:16:19.080 because this is pure vendetta.

00:16:21.400 Tyler Chandra,

00:16:22.140 as you know,

00:16:22.960 has been embarrassed

00:16:24.080 for the past few years

00:16:26.540 as the Minister of Health

00:16:27.840 and now he is the Minister

00:16:29.860 of Justice

00:16:30.600 and Solicitor General.

00:16:31.980 So purely for those people,

00:16:33.760 it's personal.

00:16:35.280 It is vendetta.

00:16:36.540 They were caught

00:16:37.400 in a Sky Palace hypocrisy.

00:16:39.120 When I was rotting in prison,

00:16:41.700 they were partying

00:16:42.580 left and right,

00:16:43.920 caught red-handed.

00:16:45.640 And one law for me,

00:16:46.780 totally different

00:16:47.560 for the rest of us slaves,

00:16:49.340 I guess,

00:16:49.800 according to them.

00:16:50.720 So I don't know.

00:16:51.500 I don't really know

00:16:52.180 what happened.

00:16:52.900 I am pushing hard.

00:16:54.620 I am trying to tell Albertans

00:16:57.020 what's really going on.

00:16:58.260 Maybe someone smarter 0.66

00:16:59.760 than the Minister Chandra

00:17:01.820 said,

00:17:02.560 hey,

00:17:02.820 this is not in our interest

00:17:04.480 to wage the war

00:17:05.980 against the ministers

00:17:07.100 and pastors

00:17:07.820 for doing what?

00:17:08.700 Like,

00:17:09.140 Ezra,

00:17:09.400 what did I do?

00:17:10.300 I saved lives.

00:17:12.080 I saved Albertans

00:17:13.620 on a weekly basis

00:17:14.760 for the past 23 years.

00:17:16.960 Instead of receiving support

00:17:19.020 from the Alberta government,

00:17:20.540 I constantly receive

00:17:22.060 police presence,

00:17:23.460 bylaws,

00:17:24.020 health inspectors,

00:17:25.020 tickets,

00:17:25.620 trials,

00:17:26.480 arrests.

00:17:26.980 I mean,

00:17:27.260 this must stop.

00:17:28.980 So I'm very grateful.

00:17:30.880 I'm very grateful

00:17:32.060 to God

00:17:32.840 and to you

00:17:33.500 and to Sarah

00:17:34.240 that she was willing

00:17:35.340 to proceed,

00:17:36.520 that she spent that night

00:17:37.820 looking through the documents,

00:17:39.840 wasting,

00:17:40.380 obviously wasting the money

00:17:42.000 that were donated

00:17:43.020 for our defense

00:17:44.660 because I think

00:17:45.980 they have an agenda.

00:17:47.060 I think it's personal.

00:17:48.420 It is a vendetta.

00:17:49.480 They wanted to hurt us.

00:17:50.660 They wanted to keep me

00:17:52.260 subdued,

00:17:53.280 if you will.

00:17:53.880 As you know,

00:17:54.380 I am still

00:17:55.140 on house arrest

00:17:56.480 from 7 to 7.

00:17:58.160 I'm waiting my trial

00:17:59.420 at the beginning of February

00:18:01.440 and they used

00:18:02.920 this trial,

00:18:03.860 this particular ticket

00:18:05.420 during the bail hearing

00:18:07.060 against me.

00:18:08.260 So now,

00:18:09.660 when I'm out

00:18:10.960 and I'm winning,

00:18:12.720 we are winning

00:18:13.420 every single trial

00:18:14.700 right now,

00:18:15.220 every fight

00:18:15.800 with those people,

00:18:16.820 maybe they realize,

00:18:17.680 hey,

00:18:18.280 this is not looking good.

00:18:20.220 I mean,

00:18:20.420 no one is buying

00:18:21.340 this agenda anymore.

00:18:22.680 No one is believing us

00:18:23.820 that this is in a public interest.

00:18:25.780 So hopefully,

00:18:26.600 I pray

00:18:27.020 that those people

00:18:28.020 will just let me

00:18:28.820 live my life

00:18:29.740 in peace.

00:18:30.780 That's what I want.

00:18:31.580 That's what I always wanted.

00:18:33.120 As you remember,

00:18:33.760 I've told them

00:18:34.420 thousands of times,

00:18:36.000 leave me alone, people.

00:18:37.500 Let me do

00:18:38.180 what I'm good at.

00:18:38.960 I'm good at saving lives.

00:18:40.500 I'm good at giving people hope.

00:18:42.600 I'm not asking

00:18:43.640 anything from you.

00:18:44.680 I don't want

00:18:45.180 anything from you.

00:18:46.340 Just let me be.

00:18:47.640 Yeah.

00:18:47.940 You know what?

00:18:48.680 We just heard

00:18:49.420 that another

00:18:50.180 Calgary pastor

00:18:51.600 has been charged

00:18:52.580 with giving out food

00:18:54.020 without a license

00:18:55.120 to the hungry.

00:18:56.120 I mean,

00:18:56.260 only in Calgary

00:18:57.320 would they put

00:18:58.260 red tape

00:18:58.860 in bureaucracy?

00:19:00.220 There's a real problem

00:19:02.800 in Alberta.

00:19:04.260 You wouldn't think it.

00:19:05.020 It's the province

00:19:05.620 whose motto

00:19:06.220 is strong and free.

00:19:08.160 And Calgary,

00:19:08.880 it likes to think

00:19:09.740 of itself

00:19:10.100 as the freest city

00:19:11.100 in the country.

00:19:12.040 They have a strange,

00:19:13.600 crazy blind spot.

00:19:15.540 It's you mainly.

00:19:17.460 I know they've given you

00:19:18.760 more than 100 fines,

00:19:20.760 charges,

00:19:21.240 tickets,

00:19:21.660 court dates,

00:19:22.120 more than 100.

00:19:23.200 But it's others too.

00:19:25.120 And we know that.

00:19:25.680 They of course seized

00:19:26.920 the Grace Life Church

00:19:28.720 up in Edmonton,

00:19:29.900 just south of Edmonton

00:19:30.960 and other churches too.

00:19:32.580 You know what it makes

00:19:33.200 me think of?

00:19:34.240 I don't know if you know

00:19:35.300 this, Pastor Arthur,

00:19:36.080 but after the Second World War

00:19:37.760 was over,

00:19:39.300 for years,

00:19:40.880 like literally years,

00:19:42.180 I think it went all the way

00:19:43.020 into the 1950s,

00:19:44.380 they discovered

00:19:45.280 little clumps

00:19:46.960 of Japanese soldiers

00:19:48.580 who were on

00:19:49.640 some remote island

00:19:50.840 who didn't know

00:19:52.200 the war was over.

00:19:53.160 So it was the late 1940s,

00:19:55.440 early 1950s,

00:19:56.320 and they discovered

00:19:56.960 these soldiers

00:19:58.360 who had just been cut off

00:19:59.680 from the main Japanese army

00:20:00.960 and thought that

00:20:02.500 they were still

00:20:03.080 fighting America

00:20:03.920 and when they were

00:20:04.920 discovered,

00:20:05.700 they had to be told,

00:20:06.960 no, the war is over

00:20:07.980 and Japan surrendered

00:20:08.960 and you can go home now.

00:20:10.500 Like they were still,

00:20:11.380 were living

00:20:12.180 in the 40s

00:20:13.960 in the war

00:20:14.480 and I think

00:20:15.760 that some parts

00:20:17.720 of the Justice Department

00:20:19.060 in Alberta

00:20:19.600 and a lot of parts

00:20:20.920 of Alberta Health Services

00:20:22.140 are still living

00:20:23.600 like those Japanese soldiers.

00:20:25.200 They're still fighting

00:20:26.040 the war of the 1940s.

00:20:27.380 They don't realize

00:20:27.980 that the war is over.

00:20:29.160 They lost

00:20:29.740 and now they're on

00:20:30.720 some crazy vendetta

00:20:32.020 and they need to be

00:20:33.160 deprogrammed

00:20:34.200 and brought back

00:20:34.980 to normal life

00:20:35.760 and if they're

00:20:36.640 on the Justice side,

00:20:37.640 how about go after

00:20:38.280 real criminals now

00:20:39.260 and if they're on

00:20:40.180 the healthcare side,

00:20:41.360 how about, you know,

00:20:42.340 do some real healthcare

00:20:43.440 instead of following

00:20:44.680 your crazy vendetta.

00:20:46.300 I think there's something,

00:20:47.340 there's a psychological,

00:20:48.340 these guys are in a rut

00:20:49.440 that it really feels

00:20:51.360 like revenge,

00:20:52.400 it really feels personal

00:20:54.160 and I wonder

00:20:55.100 how many times

00:20:56.000 they have to lose

00:20:56.900 before, you know,

00:20:58.540 they just don't go

00:21:00.100 after you anymore.

00:21:00.740 You're not exaggerating

00:21:01.600 when you say

00:21:02.060 you've won

00:21:02.380 every single time.

00:21:03.580 Now, in one case

00:21:04.580 you had to go up

00:21:05.200 to the Court of Appeal

00:21:06.180 where you got

00:21:07.120 a unanimous ruling

00:21:08.640 three to zero

00:21:09.440 to overturn

00:21:10.700 a lower court

00:21:11.360 but if I'm not mistaken

00:21:12.380 you have actually won

00:21:14.800 every single matter

00:21:17.380 that has gone to court.

00:21:18.680 So, I come back

00:21:20.420 to those tests

00:21:21.200 for a prosecution.

00:21:22.460 Is it in the public interest?

00:21:23.860 Obviously not.

00:21:24.960 Do they have a reasonable

00:21:26.080 likelihood of conviction?

00:21:27.720 Obviously not

00:21:28.600 and yet they're coming

00:21:29.540 for you again

00:21:30.280 in February.

00:21:31.860 Something is rotten

00:21:33.460 in the state of Alberta.

00:21:35.020 It is, 100%.

00:21:36.140 It's personal.

00:21:37.420 It is a vendetta.

00:21:38.580 Of course, as you know,

00:21:39.420 I'm very vocal.

00:21:40.840 I'm doing my best

00:21:41.840 to warn people

00:21:42.680 about what I think

00:21:44.020 is happening

00:21:45.160 and coming

00:21:45.900 to my beloved Canada.

00:21:47.700 as you know

00:21:48.720 and you can tell

00:21:49.460 of course

00:21:50.240 very quickly

00:21:51.180 I grew up

00:21:51.920 behind the Iron Curtain

00:21:53.120 under the boots

00:21:53.820 of the Soviets.

00:21:54.880 I've seen this movie

00:21:55.860 before

00:21:56.360 and we must

00:21:57.580 change the script.

00:21:58.780 We have to

00:21:59.460 push this evil

00:22:00.880 away.

00:22:01.800 Do you know, Ezra,

00:22:03.160 and I'm sure

00:22:03.920 you remember

00:22:04.560 because you covered

00:22:05.420 my cases before

00:22:07.120 even before the rebel

00:22:08.560 that there are laws

00:22:10.080 in the province

00:22:10.740 of Alberta

00:22:11.260 that states

00:22:12.220 that giving free goods

00:22:13.380 and services

00:22:14.180 are prohibited

00:22:15.640 by law,

00:22:16.520 distribution of

00:22:17.360 printed material.

00:22:18.400 So if I give you

00:22:19.380 a Bible

00:22:19.960 or a gospel track

00:22:21.300 on the streets

00:22:21.900 of Calgary

00:22:22.880 or Edmonton

00:22:23.680 or anywhere

00:22:24.260 within the province

00:22:25.160 of Alberta

00:22:25.640 I'm actually committing

00:22:26.540 a crime.

00:22:26.980 If I give

00:22:27.980 a sandwich

00:22:28.840 to a dying child

00:22:30.420 on the street

00:22:31.200 of Calgary

00:22:32.060 I am committing

00:22:33.180 a crime.

00:22:33.880 Those are laws

00:22:34.740 in the books.

00:22:36.660 It's shocking

00:22:37.560 when I share that

00:22:38.440 to the normal people

00:22:40.180 to the public

00:22:40.760 they don't want

00:22:41.180 to believe me

00:22:41.900 that they don't

00:22:42.960 want to believe

00:22:43.500 that the government

00:22:44.360 can become so evil

00:22:46.140 that would criminalize 0.70

00:22:48.040 someone that actually

00:22:49.420 feeds the poor

00:22:50.420 and saves lives.

00:22:51.980 Derek Reimer

00:22:52.640 is facing $10,000

00:22:54.500 as we speak right now.

00:22:56.720 $10,000 ticket

00:22:57.920 he has a salmon

00:22:58.940 so he doesn't even

00:23:00.040 have an option

00:23:00.800 to just pay it.

00:23:02.220 He has to go to court.

00:23:03.720 He has to be subjected

00:23:05.160 to this punishment

00:23:06.740 because that's what

00:23:07.360 it is, Ezra.

00:23:08.000 The whole process

00:23:09.300 becomes a punishment.

00:23:10.760 Me, being in metal cages

00:23:12.660 in solitary confinement

00:23:13.780 they already punished me.

00:23:15.880 Sarah told me

00:23:16.680 that of course

00:23:18.440 I'm facing up to

00:23:19.620 10 and a half years

00:23:21.120 combined

00:23:21.900 if they wanted

00:23:22.640 to throw a book at me

00:23:23.680 but she could not find

00:23:25.400 she could not find

00:23:26.820 any other precedent

00:23:28.500 or case

00:23:29.840 ever

00:23:30.820 that a person

00:23:32.360 charged with those offenses

00:23:33.980 would spend more than

00:23:35.000 seven days

00:23:35.960 in prison.

00:23:36.900 So I spent 50 days

00:23:38.340 on the 51st

00:23:39.320 I was released

00:23:40.260 which is Riemann Center

00:23:41.640 that's almost 80 days

00:23:43.160 in prison

00:23:44.280 for what?

00:23:45.780 What have I done?

00:23:46.680 I just said to the people

00:23:48.200 stand up for your rights

00:23:49.400 but do it peacefully

00:23:50.860 no guns

00:23:52.040 no swords

00:23:52.840 peacefully

00:23:53.320 yeah

00:23:53.900 my speech is fiery

00:23:55.400 take it or leave it

00:23:56.880 love it or hate it

00:23:58.100 I don't care

00:23:59.040 but it's lawful

00:24:00.480 you mentioned Derek Reimer

00:24:02.560 that is the name

00:24:03.420 of the other pastor

00:24:04.360 and I'm pleased

00:24:05.240 to tell our viewers

00:24:06.180 that the Democracy Fund

00:24:07.980 has come to terms

00:24:09.320 with Sarah Miller

00:24:10.800 because I think

00:24:12.220 who best

00:24:13.320 to defend

00:24:14.000 a pastor

00:24:15.020 in Calgary

00:24:15.920 who is being bullied

00:24:16.780 by the authorities

00:24:17.540 than your lawyer

00:24:19.000 Sarah

00:24:19.520 who unfortunately

00:24:21.000 has now had

00:24:21.860 a lot of training

00:24:22.580 and experience

00:24:23.740 in these matters

00:24:25.020 so I think

00:24:26.060 that

00:24:26.400 like

00:24:27.200 I mean

00:24:27.940 I know

00:24:28.820 you've spent

00:24:29.220 a lot of time

00:24:29.720 working with Sarah

00:24:30.520 so you've been

00:24:31.680 in court with her

00:24:32.280 and you've seen

00:24:32.700 her in action 0.53

00:24:33.240 I think you'll agree

00:24:34.500 that the government

00:24:35.740 has made a mistake

00:24:36.780 going after Derek Reimer

00:24:38.140 with Sarah

00:24:38.880 on the case

00:24:39.640 I am quite certain

00:24:40.940 that he'll get

00:24:41.420 the best representation

00:24:42.300 possible

00:24:43.320 and again

00:24:43.700 that's courtesy

00:24:44.280 of crowdfunding

00:24:45.040 through the Democracy Fund

00:24:45.960 well this is incredible

00:24:47.520 I want to ask you

00:24:48.420 I mean let's put aside

00:24:49.380 the upcoming prosecution

00:24:51.820 of you

00:24:52.360 in early February

00:24:53.500 which I think

00:24:54.040 is a disgrace

00:24:54.720 and I think

00:24:55.700 the province will lose

00:24:56.900 and I think frankly

00:24:58.020 the law

00:24:58.600 may well be struck down

00:24:59.980 as unconstitutional

00:25:00.920 if they're going to use

00:25:02.620 an eco-terrorism law

00:25:04.060 against you

00:25:04.800 well then it deserves

00:25:06.180 to be struck down

00:25:07.020 as unconstitutional

00:25:07.800 but let me ask you

00:25:08.940 bigger picture

00:25:09.620 put aside that

00:25:10.500 upcoming eco-terrorism

00:25:12.600 like seriously

00:25:13.120 like it's just so absurd

00:25:14.920 they're just throwing

00:25:15.500 everything at you

00:25:16.060 but the kitchen sink

00:25:16.880 let me ask you

00:25:19.100 a political question

00:25:20.000 instead of a legal question

00:25:21.180 do you think

00:25:22.740 the province of Alberta

00:25:24.100 and do you think

00:25:24.580 the country of Canada

00:25:25.620 cares more about

00:25:27.860 civil liberties now

00:25:28.940 or less

00:25:29.760 on the one hand

00:25:30.920 we've allowed ourselves

00:25:31.840 to be abused

00:25:32.680 for years

00:25:33.360 including by the

00:25:34.540 Emergencies Act

00:25:35.340 martial law

00:25:36.020 so on the one hand

00:25:36.740 we let

00:25:37.360 terrible things happen

00:25:39.200 on the other hand

00:25:40.820 I think a lot of people

00:25:41.840 did wake up

00:25:43.660 people who

00:25:45.600 in the past

00:25:46.540 might have called

00:25:46.980 themselves liberal

00:25:47.780 might have called

00:25:48.360 themselves green

00:25:49.440 or socialist

00:25:51.900 or whatever

00:25:52.480 if they had any

00:25:53.820 libertarianism

00:25:55.540 in their blood

00:25:56.140 I think they woke up

00:25:57.240 people who used to say

00:25:58.080 my body

00:25:58.700 my choice

00:25:59.360 have woken up

00:26:00.440 do you think

00:26:01.620 the state of civil liberties

00:26:03.240 in Canada

00:26:03.920 in the hearts of people

00:26:05.100 do you think it's stronger

00:26:06.200 or weaker now

00:26:07.300 than it was

00:26:08.380 three years ago

00:26:09.160 100%

00:26:10.840 if we had this

00:26:12.420 conversation

00:26:13.300 a few years ago

00:26:14.140 I think majority

00:26:14.920 of people

00:26:15.380 would not even care

00:26:16.680 if I live or die

00:26:18.180 but right now

00:26:19.280 wherever I travel

00:26:20.160 I travel all over

00:26:21.300 and again

00:26:21.980 I have to receive

00:26:23.220 permission

00:26:23.780 from my probation officer

00:26:25.060 to even meet

00:26:25.920 with my constituents

00:26:27.020 and the people

00:26:29.080 that potentially

00:26:30.040 are going to vote

00:26:30.700 for us

00:26:31.080 so I travel

00:26:32.600 around Alberta

00:26:33.340 and there's always

00:26:34.020 hundreds of people

00:26:34.960 showing up

00:26:35.700 and everyone

00:26:36.360 that comes to me

00:26:37.300 says thank you

00:26:38.220 for standing up

00:26:39.040 we didn't know

00:26:39.920 how bad it is

00:26:40.740 so what I would say

00:26:42.180 is that millions

00:26:43.520 of Canadians

00:26:44.920 have been awakened

00:26:46.440 and if it comes

00:26:47.800 to the government

00:26:48.540 the government

00:26:49.160 is pushing hard

00:26:50.280 the government

00:26:51.000 is trying to destroy

00:26:52.140 our liberties

00:26:52.900 but the people

00:26:53.900 I believe

00:26:54.620 are pushing back

00:26:55.920 as well

00:26:56.580 and they say

00:26:57.340 hey wait a second

00:26:58.220 you're supposed

00:26:58.800 to protect our rights

00:27:00.300 not to take those rights

00:27:01.940 away from us

00:27:02.980 so I see

00:27:03.860 more and more people

00:27:05.300 aligning themselves

00:27:06.860 with what we were

00:27:08.320 warning them

00:27:09.900 about a few years ago

00:27:11.640 there is sympathy

00:27:12.540 but more than that

00:27:14.200 there is awareness

00:27:15.280 that what we're

00:27:16.120 observing right now

00:27:17.140 is a simple

00:27:17.980 repetition of history

00:27:19.700 just like the saying

00:27:21.260 they came for

00:27:22.140 the Jews

00:27:23.020 but I didn't say

00:27:24.300 anything

00:27:24.760 because I was not

00:27:25.500 the Jew

00:27:25.820 you know how it goes

00:27:27.560 and when finally

00:27:28.780 they went

00:27:29.460 after all of the others

00:27:31.140 that were vocal

00:27:31.860 and they came for them

00:27:32.840 there was no one else

00:27:33.720 to stand up

00:27:35.040 to speak

00:27:35.620 so I think Canadians 0.64

00:27:36.660 are realizing

00:27:37.340 if they will not

00:27:38.380 join the fight

00:27:39.420 if you will

00:27:40.020 against this tyranny

00:27:41.420 now

00:27:41.900 they might face

00:27:44.080 what the Jewish people

00:27:45.380 did face

00:27:46.300 in 39, 40, 41

00:27:48.540 and of course

00:27:49.540 as a Polish emigrant

00:27:50.760 growing up

00:27:51.820 in a city

00:27:52.500 with a concentration camp 0.67

00:27:53.880 and having

00:27:55.060 my grandparents

00:27:55.960 telling me stories

00:27:57.180 about the Nazis

00:27:58.340 and the fascists

00:27:59.520 what they did

00:28:00.000 to my country

00:28:00.680 I am fully aware

00:28:02.440 that the tactics

00:28:04.320 that were used

00:28:05.220 by the Nazis

00:28:05.860 are identical

00:28:06.920 to the tactics

00:28:08.040 that are being used

00:28:08.880 right now

00:28:09.580 by this totalitarian regime

00:28:11.420 that is unchecked

00:28:12.600 there are no checks

00:28:13.520 and balances

00:28:14.060 anymore

00:28:14.560 there is no accountability

00:28:16.140 there is no

00:28:17.500 even a structure

00:28:18.460 of power

00:28:19.140 that would balance

00:28:20.220 some kind of

00:28:21.960 an individual

00:28:22.580 that wants to become

00:28:23.720 a tyrant

00:28:24.700 so we need to change

00:28:25.660 the system

00:28:26.280 and how are we going

00:28:27.040 to do it

00:28:27.500 when we come together

00:28:29.200 when good people

00:28:30.220 will join forces

00:28:31.560 and say

00:28:32.160 enough is enough

00:28:33.260 that's it

00:28:34.000 we have seen

00:28:34.620 the corruption

00:28:35.200 and we are not

00:28:36.200 agreeing with that corruption

00:28:37.640 so I think

00:28:38.920 there is

00:28:39.620 a big awakening

00:28:41.180 I've never seen

00:28:42.660 a bigger awakening

00:28:44.160 in this country

00:28:45.320 than right now

00:28:46.000 well it's incredible

00:28:48.200 I think

00:28:49.620 it has

00:28:50.800 awoken people

00:28:52.000 but it's also

00:28:52.640 shown us

00:28:53.400 how many Canadians

00:28:55.160 were happy

00:28:55.680 to be compliant

00:28:56.640 in the authoritarianism

00:28:58.860 and of course

00:28:59.240 you would have

00:28:59.720 seen that first hand

00:29:01.160 in Poland

00:29:02.440 under Soviet domination

00:29:03.960 that many people

00:29:05.540 were free

00:29:06.320 and the Polish people

00:29:07.140 are very freedom oriented

00:29:09.020 people going back

00:29:09.760 centuries by the way

00:29:10.760 but there were

00:29:12.140 surely those

00:29:13.360 amongst every population

00:29:14.660 who were happy

00:29:15.360 to be informants

00:29:16.460 happy to be enforcers

00:29:18.220 happy to be snitches

00:29:20.220 and we saw

00:29:21.640 those same

00:29:22.420 human characteristics

00:29:23.640 express themselves

00:29:25.020 in Canada

00:29:25.620 we all like to think

00:29:26.520 we would have done

00:29:27.000 the right thing

00:29:27.620 in Nazi Germany

00:29:28.840 80 years ago

00:29:29.860 but let's get real

00:29:31.860 a lot of people

00:29:32.460 would have loved

00:29:33.000 the power

00:29:33.520 they would have loved

00:29:34.180 being on the powerful side

00:29:35.380 they would have

00:29:35.820 given in to conformity

00:29:37.700 and peer pressure

00:29:38.440 and when you spoke out

00:29:40.860 it was very lonely

00:29:42.800 to do so

00:29:43.500 and now I think

00:29:44.120 a lot of people

00:29:44.620 have come around to it

00:29:45.580 but you paid the price

00:29:46.660 I'm just thrilled

00:29:48.080 that the case

00:29:50.040 against you

00:29:50.480 was abandoned

00:29:51.080 I'm disappointed

00:29:52.480 that they waited

00:29:53.100 until the morning

00:29:53.660 of the trial

00:29:54.200 it'll be interesting

00:29:55.400 to see what happens

00:29:56.200 in February

00:29:56.620 and I just want

00:29:57.120 to remind our viewers

00:29:57.980 that the Democracy Fund

00:30:00.500 has covered

00:30:01.260 Arthur Pavlovsky's

00:30:03.900 legal fees

00:30:04.400 those of his brother

00:30:05.280 David

00:30:05.780 those of other pastors

00:30:07.720 including Derek Reimer

00:30:08.780 who's going back

00:30:09.720 in front of a judge again

00:30:12.020 other Christian churches

00:30:14.120 Church in the Vine

00:30:15.100 in northern Alberta

00:30:16.000 churches in other provinces

00:30:17.640 even

00:30:18.020 so if this is something

00:30:19.240 that you care about

00:30:20.100 go to savearthur.com

00:30:23.160 saveartur.com

00:30:25.520 and that's a donation

00:30:26.720 to the Democracy Fund

00:30:27.820 you'll get a charitable

00:30:29.120 tax receipt for it

00:30:30.400 and it goes 100%

00:30:31.680 to the Democracy Fund

00:30:32.640 Rebel News

00:30:33.520 does not take any funds

00:30:34.800 from that

00:30:35.160 it's just kept

00:30:36.140 completely separate

00:30:37.060 in the Democracy Fund

00:30:38.640 charity

00:30:39.120 and that's

00:30:39.880 actually Arthur

00:30:41.380 is client number one

00:30:42.800 over the last year

00:30:44.480 and a half

00:30:44.860 the Democracy Fund

00:30:45.580 has taken more

00:30:46.220 than 2,000 cases

00:30:48.360 none of them

00:30:48.980 as spectacular

00:30:49.820 as Arthur's

00:30:51.440 none of them

00:30:51.820 as notorious

00:30:52.540 none of them

00:30:53.040 as abusive

00:30:53.560 but all of them

00:30:55.540 in some way

00:30:56.100 a tragedy

00:30:56.640 for the person

00:30:57.300 targeted

00:30:57.700 Pastor Arthur

00:30:58.440 congratulations

00:30:59.080 on your win

00:31:00.280 in court

00:31:00.860 on Friday

00:31:01.500 congratulations

00:31:02.420 on maintaining

00:31:03.460 your courage

00:31:04.260 and your inspiration

00:31:06.440 of others

00:31:07.160 and have a Merry Christmas

00:31:09.940 and Happy New Year

00:31:11.180 and we'll talk to you

00:31:12.200 in the New Year

00:31:12.920 and we will be there

00:31:15.020 at your next trial

00:31:16.880 in February

00:31:18.540 because that's going

00:31:19.720 to be an atrocious one

00:31:20.680 so keep fighting

00:31:21.400 thank you so much Ezra

00:31:23.320 Merry Christmas

00:31:24.040 to you too

00:31:24.720 to your listeners

00:31:25.420 to your viewers

00:31:26.560 I want to thank you

00:31:27.840 so much

00:31:28.660 for all your support

00:31:29.780 for every donation

00:31:31.380 I mean

00:31:32.120 without your support

00:31:33.420 I'll probably

00:31:34.220 still be in prison

00:31:35.780 so be blessed

00:31:36.860 Merry Christmas

00:31:37.880 Happy New Year

00:31:38.800 and stand strong

00:31:40.440 do not give up

00:31:41.420 do not be terrified

00:31:42.500 there is more of us

00:31:43.700 than of them

00:31:44.320 in the end

00:31:44.900 we know how the story ends

00:31:46.260 we win

00:31:46.780 the enemy just doesn't

00:31:48.000 know it yet

00:31:48.580 God bless you

00:31:49.400 right on

00:31:49.980 thanks for that

00:31:50.540 there you have it

00:31:51.320 Arthur Pawlowski

00:31:52.140 you can go to

00:31:53.200 savearthur.com

00:31:54.120 stay with it

00:31:54.880 your letters to me

00:31:56.460 in a moment

00:31:57.040 hey welcome back

00:32:09.740 Cake Rue

00:32:11.020 writes a letter

00:32:11.900 saying

00:32:12.280 you talk about

00:32:13.220 cancel culture

00:32:13.940 and attribute it

00:32:14.680 to the left

00:32:15.040 but in reality

00:32:15.680 your god goon

00:32:17.460 audience flags

00:32:18.500 people's comments

00:32:19.260 much more often

00:32:20.380 stop supporting

00:32:21.420 their anti-social

00:32:22.420 agenda

00:32:22.940 those you grift

00:32:24.200 are the actual

00:32:25.000 problem

00:32:25.540 you're not helping

00:32:26.440 anything by giving

00:32:27.380 them a platform

00:32:28.060 you also make it

00:32:29.080 very difficult

00:32:29.620 to see rebel media

00:32:30.560 as actual news

00:32:31.700 by doing so

00:32:32.460 do Canada a favor

00:32:33.600 and cut the trash

00:32:34.620 loose of your

00:32:35.140 programming

00:32:35.620 they'll drag you 0.88

00:32:36.520 down too

00:32:37.120 all right

00:32:38.960 but other than that

00:32:39.820 you love what

00:32:40.420 we're doing

00:32:40.800 right

00:32:41.120 listen I'm not

00:32:43.660 quite sure what

00:32:44.440 you mean

00:32:44.700 our comment section

00:32:45.540 on our website

00:32:46.120 frankly leaves a lot

00:32:47.000 to be desired

00:32:47.600 we sort of bolted

00:32:49.140 on a Facebook

00:32:49.820 comment app

00:32:51.160 and it's no good

00:32:51.960 it's full of spam

00:32:52.800 I blame Facebook

00:32:54.460 in part for that

00:32:55.240 but we will have

00:32:55.980 a new website

00:32:57.120 in the new year

00:32:57.940 and hopefully

00:32:58.640 deal with that

00:32:59.220 I certainly don't

00:33:01.220 engage in any

00:33:02.660 censorship of comments

00:33:03.540 I don't even

00:33:03.960 in the main

00:33:05.400 look at them

00:33:05.940 frankly it's just

00:33:06.580 too much to do

00:33:07.280 on YouTube

00:33:08.240 they have automatic

00:33:10.780 comment censorship

00:33:11.860 that YouTube

00:33:12.480 itself does

00:33:13.160 it's really

00:33:13.560 quite stunning

00:33:14.540 to see it

00:33:15.100 in real time

00:33:15.940 for example

00:33:16.820 on live streams

00:33:17.660 it's a robot

00:33:19.240 it's an algorithm

00:33:20.120 that really

00:33:20.880 censors people

00:33:21.680 and it is shocking

00:33:22.680 what we've learned

00:33:23.880 about Twitter

00:33:24.440 over the last few

00:33:25.280 weeks about how

00:33:25.840 the FBI and others

00:33:26.940 pressured Twitter

00:33:28.080 to censor people

00:33:28.920 I can assure you

00:33:30.020 it is far worse

00:33:31.000 at Facebook

00:33:32.040 Google and YouTube

00:33:33.100 I don't know

00:33:33.540 if we'll ever

00:33:33.900 have proof of it

00:33:34.520 like we have

00:33:35.040 with Twitter

00:33:35.880 Ralph Killoran

00:33:38.100 says

00:33:38.920 Canadians distrust

00:33:40.520 the media

00:33:41.020 apart from a

00:33:41.720 limited number

00:33:42.400 of community

00:33:42.900 broadcasters

00:33:43.620 media in Canada

00:33:44.840 are primarily

00:33:45.340 owned by a

00:33:45.840 small number

00:33:46.180 of companies

00:33:46.660 Bell, Corus,

00:33:47.620 Rogers, Quebecor

00:33:48.420 and the government

00:33:48.900 owned Canadian

00:33:49.500 Broadcasting Corporation

00:33:50.720 social media

00:33:51.680 is the main

00:33:52.100 source of news

00:33:52.720 for 19%

00:33:53.980 of all Canadian

00:33:54.580 adults

00:33:54.980 a share that

00:33:55.580 increases to 38%

00:33:56.900 among those under 35

00:33:58.000 49% among those

00:33:59.660 aged 18 to 24

00:34:01.580 right

00:34:02.920 well you've got

00:34:03.340 a lot of statistics

00:34:04.120 there

00:34:04.400 I think

00:34:05.540 that one of the

00:34:06.140 things you're

00:34:06.880 showing is that

00:34:08.000 people watch

00:34:09.720 the old school

00:34:10.360 media out of habit

00:34:11.340 and I get it

00:34:12.020 if you've watched

00:34:12.560 the same

00:34:13.100 newscaster

00:34:14.180 or subscribed

00:34:14.640 to the same

00:34:15.220 newspaper

00:34:15.720 for 30

00:34:16.360 or 40

00:34:16.880 years

00:34:17.280 odds are

00:34:18.020 you're going

00:34:18.240 to keep up

00:34:18.640 with that

00:34:18.900 habit

00:34:19.180 but young

00:34:19.680 people

00:34:20.040 don't have

00:34:20.840 that habit

00:34:21.320 to break

00:34:21.820 and frankly

00:34:22.580 I actually

00:34:22.980 don't know

00:34:23.400 anyone under

00:34:24.160 40 with a

00:34:24.940 paper newspaper

00:34:26.000 subscription

00:34:26.560 at all

00:34:27.040 not the only

00:34:27.620 newspaper I

00:34:28.200 subscribe to

00:34:28.800 is the

00:34:29.140 Epoch Times

00:34:29.940 just because

00:34:30.600 I love them

00:34:31.140 I take your

00:34:32.420 point though

00:34:32.820 which is exactly

00:34:33.780 why Trudeau

00:34:34.400 wants to

00:34:34.900 censor

00:34:35.460 social media

00:34:36.420 including

00:34:36.860 alternative news

00:34:37.920 sources like us

00:34:38.760 well that's our

00:34:39.900 show for today

00:34:40.360 until next time

00:34:41.120 on behalf of all

00:34:41.860 us here at Rebel

00:34:42.500 World Headquarters

00:34:43.140 to you at home

00:34:43.740 good night

00:34:44.240 and keep fighting

00:34:45.340 for freedom

00:34:45.760 I want to show

00:34:46.460 you the damage

00:34:47.560 and carnage

00:34:48.400 caused by Justin

00:34:49.100 Trudeau's open

00:34:49.720 border policy

00:34:50.360 at one point

00:34:51.500 of entry

00:34:52.060 into this country

00:34:52.900 an illegal point

00:34:53.980 of entry

00:34:54.420 called Roxham Road

00:34:55.760 in Quebec

00:34:56.280 the Premier of

00:34:57.000 Quebec would 0.96

00:34:57.420 like you

00:34:57.840 the federal

00:34:58.260 government

00:34:58.440 to close

00:34:59.000 Roxham Road

00:34:59.640 to shut down

00:35:00.340 that you know

00:35:01.260 basically illegal

00:35:02.060 border entry

00:35:02.760 where people are

00:35:03.500 coming over

00:35:03.860 to seek asylum

00:35:04.500 so what more

00:35:05.500 can the federal

00:35:05.860 government do

00:35:06.540 Quebec's saying

00:35:07.980 hey we're getting

00:35:08.420 an influx of 100

00:35:09.260 people a day

00:35:09.720 this is not

00:35:10.140 sustainable

00:35:10.540 well we watch

00:35:11.500 really closely

00:35:12.020 what takes place

00:35:12.660 at the border

00:35:13.080 and have for

00:35:13.720 many years now

00:35:14.560 we work also

00:35:15.420 very closely

00:35:16.100 with the provincial

00:35:17.200 government in Quebec

00:35:18.260 I've had a number

00:35:19.020 of conversations

00:35:19.620 about Roxham Road

00:35:20.380 since I've been

00:35:20.820 appointed with my

00:35:21.580 counterpart

00:35:22.240 Minister Boulet

00:35:23.060 we have a very

00:35:23.600 positive working

00:35:24.240 relationship

00:35:24.640 we're going to

00:35:25.040 continue to

00:35:25.600 and to the extent

00:35:26.660 we can partner

00:35:27.280 with them

00:35:27.660 to make sure

00:35:28.260 they have the

00:35:29.200 resources that

00:35:29.800 are necessary

00:35:30.300 to manage

00:35:31.020 whatever flows

00:35:31.640 may take place

00:35:32.360 is essential

00:35:33.140 but I also

00:35:34.260 just want to

00:35:34.680 point out

00:35:35.000 that there are

00:35:35.520 both domestic

00:35:36.460 and international

00:35:37.160 legal obligations

00:35:38.640 that bind the

00:35:39.260 government of Canada

00:35:39.820 that we will

00:35:40.360 abide by

00:35:40.960 and we need to

00:35:42.620 work with our

00:35:43.060 partners in the

00:35:43.860 United States

00:35:44.440 to find a

00:35:44.900 long-term solution

00:35:45.720 by modernizing

00:35:46.560 the Save Their

00:35:47.000 Country Agreement

00:35:47.620 as is outlined

00:35:48.300 in my mandate letter

00:35:49.060 now my colleague

00:35:49.940 Alexa Lavoie

00:35:50.740 has done some

00:35:51.380 incredible work

00:35:52.320 at Roxham Road

00:35:53.420 showing you

00:35:54.400 just how hard

00:35:55.540 it is to cross

00:35:56.380 into Canada

00:35:57.160 illegally

00:35:57.720 taxi cabs

00:35:59.160 from New York

00:35:59.760 State

00:36:00.060 traffic people

00:36:00.880 who already

00:36:01.500 don't qualify

00:36:02.220 for asylum

00:36:02.960 in a safe

00:36:03.500 third country

00:36:04.500 the United States

00:36:05.580 so these people

00:36:06.380 just take a cab

00:36:07.620 up to the border

00:36:08.280 and then just

00:36:08.760 stroll on into Canada

00:36:10.280 now much of the

00:36:11.280 data that I'm going

00:36:11.980 to talk about today

00:36:12.620 comes from

00:36:13.280 Conservative MP

00:36:14.320 Raquel Danko's

00:36:15.760 order paper question

00:36:16.900 which asked

00:36:17.800 Immigration, Refugees 0.67

00:36:19.060 and Citizenship Canada

00:36:20.160 to divulge

00:36:21.520 just some

00:36:22.840 of the costs

00:36:23.500 associated with

00:36:24.180 maintaining and

00:36:24.920 staffing at

00:36:26.060 that illegal

00:36:26.820 border crossing

00:36:27.520 at Roxham Road

00:36:28.360 where we should

00:36:29.640 probably just have

00:36:30.380 a big fence

00:36:31.560 and not any

00:36:32.220 infrastructure processing

00:36:33.320 people who refuse

00:36:34.260 to follow the rules

00:36:35.460 and come in the

00:36:36.440 front door

00:36:37.060 like everybody else

00:36:38.320 so let's go through

00:36:39.320 these documents

00:36:40.040 together

00:36:40.580 on page three

00:36:41.740 we can see

00:36:42.400 that there were

00:36:43.580 just a little over

00:36:44.540 4,000 asylum claims

00:36:45.860 in all of Canada

00:36:46.720 in 2021

00:36:47.360 and up to

00:36:48.040 23,000

00:36:48.920 by August

00:36:49.760 of 2022

00:36:50.780 and the numbers

00:36:51.820 spike that way 1.00

00:36:52.420 because Roxham Road

00:36:53.320 has been accounting

00:36:53.940 for about 97%

00:36:55.340 of all the border

00:36:56.060 jumpers

00:36:56.560 seeking asylum

00:36:57.700 another set of

00:36:58.880 documents we obtained

00:36:59.980 shows that since

00:37:01.200 January 2020

00:37:02.520 Roxham Road

00:37:03.640 has accounted

00:37:04.500 for over 30,000

00:37:05.940 asylum claimants

00:37:06.860 of 32,000

00:37:07.860 in total

00:37:08.340 so

00:37:09.380 what that means

00:37:10.580 is if you close

00:37:11.480 Roxham Road

00:37:12.340 the problem

00:37:13.560 of people

00:37:14.100 illegally coming

00:37:15.040 into our country

00:37:15.820 almost instantly

00:37:17.120 vaporizes

00:37:17.920 it was solved

00:37:19.680 already

00:37:20.180 when the government

00:37:21.020 closed the illegal

00:37:21.820 border crossing

00:37:22.440 during COVID

00:37:23.060 so it can be done

00:37:24.820 the feds

00:37:25.680 just won't do it

00:37:26.720 now

00:37:27.020 anyway

00:37:27.680 let's get back

00:37:28.620 into these documents

00:37:29.780 on page six

00:37:30.740 we can see

00:37:31.220 61 million dollars

00:37:32.680 in costs

00:37:33.260 to immigration

00:37:34.260 in 2021

00:37:35.460 for Roxham Road

00:38:09.100 you only went

00:38:09.900 up to August

00:38:10.560 what that means

00:38:11.280 is another

00:38:11.720 nearly 4,000

00:38:13.460 people

00:38:14.080 came into Canada

00:38:15.460 at that one crossing

00:38:16.360 in one month

00:38:17.060 summertime

00:38:17.800 it's easier crossing

00:38:18.920 page 33

00:38:19.740 that includes

00:38:28.820 7.6 million

00:38:30.460 dollars between

00:38:31.080 April 2021

00:38:32.020 and October

00:38:54.940 for Roxham Road

00:38:56.260 whatever that

00:38:56.920 means

00:38:57.340 so by my

00:38:58.160 math to

00:38:58.700 maintain the

00:38:59.280 illegal border

00:38:59.900 crossing since

00:39:32.040 wanted to
