Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Canada's deepening discontent with Trudeau's out of touch Liberals

00:00:00.000 hello my friends our last report from dubai but we're not going to talk about dubai or at least

00:00:03.920 not that much we're going to talk about a new poll by abacus showing justin trudeau's behind by 15

00:00:10.240 points you love to see it also talk about how ctv news is trying to handle the uh pending

00:00:16.240 devastation for their hero that's ahead but first let me invite you to become a subscriber to rebel

00:00:20.960 news plus that's the video version of this podcast just go to rebel news plus dot com and click

00:00:25.760 subscribe eight bucks a month not a lot of dough to you but a lot to us because it really adds up

00:00:30.640 and that's how we pay our bills all right here's today's show

00:00:37.200 shame on you you sensorious bug

00:00:54.080 i want to talk to you about some exciting news from canada two stories today that i think play

00:01:08.080 into each other the first is a poll from abacus data we've talked about them before i know their

00:01:13.600 pollster david collett a really good guy i always view their polls with a bit of a note of caution

00:01:19.760 because although david is an honest man the company is chaired by a die-hard trudeau liberal

00:01:26.320 so that's always made me skeptical of them except as i've said before when abacus or say the new york

00:01:33.280 times is critical of the left you know it's really bad because they're always trying to find the best

00:01:39.200 in trudeau or joe biden or whatever so when abacus data has bad news for the liberals you can take it to

00:01:44.800 the bank um they have a new poll and i want to show you afterwards a story that ctv is doing

00:01:50.000 to help shore things up for the boss but let me jump right in here's the poll here you can see it on

00:01:54.960 your screen conservatives lead by 15 as federal government disapproval jumps four points holy moly

00:02:05.200 if there were an election today pierre pauliev would have a majority government and i don't even

00:02:10.960 know if the trudeau liberals would be in second here look at this first chart 41 for the conservatives

00:02:17.440 26 for the liberals and what's interesting is that the green party is down to just three percent now

00:02:24.080 they've always been fringe but what that tells me is that people are no longer in luxury mode they're

00:02:30.240 in recession mode when everyone's doing well you can find problems uh to care about that are sort of

00:02:36.800 fake problems because it's a sign of your class so if you're very rich um and you really have no

00:02:41.680 worries if it's not a problem to pay for your rent and your groceries and your vacations you have

00:02:46.480 everything then just to be fashionable you can say you really really deeply care about global warming

00:02:51.680 even though you jet around um but when you're poor and when you can make rent all of a sudden those

00:02:56.720 fake issues go away the green party is a fake party uh it's a party for uh elites who are well to do

00:03:04.000 and we live in a state in canada right now where we're in a technical recession uh where rent has

00:03:10.080 doubled and where most people are one paycheck away from not being able to pay their bills so obviously

00:03:15.520 the green party a luxury party a party of the phds and the university said is only down to three percent

00:03:20.720 but anyways i want to talk to you more about the liberals because that's what's most interesting

00:03:24.640 people are poor they're worried about housing they can't pay taxes by the way environmentalism is all

00:03:30.080 about taxes carbon taxes i i had to chuckle i saw today in black locks a story that stephen gilbo

00:03:38.080 had an unpaid tax debt for years he was in cabinet and he hadn't paid his taxes he only finally

00:03:46.560 caught up on that what a little grifter hey do you think there's any chance he's going to pay his twenty

00:03:51.520 thousand dollar uh penalty to rebel news out of his own pocket of course not he's going to take that

00:03:56.480 from taxpayers anyways um more of the abacus uh research poll look at this the regional breakdown

00:04:04.080 here is just amazing look at british columbia but for the longest time i thought well vancouver is sort

00:04:10.480 of like uh san francisco very left-wing very progressive very environmentalist look at i mean obviously that

00:04:17.120 would be the liberal stronghold but look at the province 52 percent for the conservatives just 18

00:04:25.520 for trudeau that is so shocking to me i really think the turning point for trudeau in bc was jody

00:04:30.800 wilson rabel because she was beloved by british columbia and she was what that province thought of itself

00:04:37.680 as progressive uh inclusive an indigenous woman uh highly ethical person and the way trudeau chewed

00:04:46.160 her out and spat her up chewed her up and spat her out i think that not only offended different groups

00:04:51.760 in bc but it was a flash of reality when you suddenly see someone for who they are rather than

00:04:57.360 who they pretend to be and i think that was the moment british columbia fell out of love with trudeau

00:05:02.560 and of course when you fall out of love after a betrayal it doesn't go back to dispassion

00:05:06.800 it goes back to hatred love and hate um can be opposite just like love and nothing can be and i

00:05:13.440 think british columbians hate justin trudeau which is incredible because that used to be one of his

00:05:19.760 bases um liberals are in third place everywhere west of ontario i find that utterly amazing look at

00:05:28.240 that in alberta just 11 percent of albertans support justin trudeau that is that's almost single

00:05:35.840 digits that if you ask people how many of them believe in ufos you would probably get a larger

00:05:41.760 number the next chart is fascinating too my whole life i've been told well conservatives have a problem

00:05:47.200 with the gender gap look at that both men and women prefer the conservatives to trudeau

00:05:52.480 more men prefer it than women do but both are in the positive that's incredible young people just hate 0.86

00:06:00.480 trudeau i think partly because they're disillusioned they see a a cynical um you know fake whether they

00:06:07.760 they see when they see it but like i said before the problem is housing uh if you are in your late 20s

00:06:15.600 or early 30s and you're starting a family and you're trying to buy a house and you're trying to get ahead

00:06:20.560 you are the least likely people in the country to support trudeau because you are in real life if you look at

00:06:26.080 the chart here the best demographic for trudeau is university educated people he's still not ahead

00:06:33.360 with them he's behind 33 to 35 but if you're university educated that is shorthand for

00:06:40.560 you're rich you're privileged you're in the elite not everybody but that's a good shorthand

00:06:45.360 and you know if if you are university educated it's much more likely that you own your home

00:06:50.160 uh that you have no problems paying for groceries you like virtue signaling because it's a valuable

00:06:56.080 thing to you and so you love talking about oh i don't know gendered language here's trudeau

00:07:03.760 posting about gendered language at the recent g20 conference did you see this hi what did canada

00:07:09.600 contribute okay uh as always canada is a strong voice uh for inclusion of uh gender language uh inclusion of

00:07:20.320 indigenous uh reflections uh but all throughout we made sure that countries around the world are

00:07:27.520 focused on growing the economy in inclusive ways creating opportunity and prosperity for everyone

00:07:33.200 in a more peaceful more secure world respect for the rule of law ambition on fighting climate change

00:07:40.880 these are all things that canada pushes for at every summit among others and we will continue to imagine

00:07:46.560 going to the g20 that's a meeting of the most serious countries in the world imagine going there

00:07:52.160 with the the crisis of affordability in canada and when you ask what you contributed what you achieved

00:07:57.760 all you have to say is well we got gendered language in there i i'm he's so out of touch it's really

00:08:03.280 sort of sad um and look at the the net effect here 57 of canadians disapprove of trudeau's government

00:08:11.840 it's never been this bad and look at this related chart the pool of accessible voters what that means

00:08:18.960 is people who would consider voting for you there's some people who would never ever in a million years

00:08:25.200 ever consider voting for the conservatives or the liberals but the pool of people who would in the

00:08:30.640 the right circumstances consider voting for the party that's what they mean by accessible voters

00:08:35.040 and look at that the conservatives have 50 of the country as accessible voters whereas trudeau

00:08:41.200 only has 42 so his ceiling is 42 if you got every single voter who could possibly vote for him

00:08:50.080 he'd win again but what's the odds of that this is a disaster for trudeau i'm enjoying every second of it

00:08:57.360 but you know who is not enjoying it you know who has answered the call to come defend him well of

00:09:02.720 course the regime media just check out this story as you see in ctv but it's in other places also

00:09:08.400 just a little background as you know a few days ago there was a conservative party convention

00:09:12.880 in ottawa and our own alexa lavoie was there and she did a great job here's just a brief clip from that

00:09:19.360 where she was interviewing peter mckay here's alexa and peter mckay so you have your opinion about the

00:09:24.320 fact that mr trudeau have just decided to shuffle his whole cabinet do you think that this remove

00:09:30.080 a little bit of credibility of this party i i do i i think when you have that kind of a wholesale

00:09:38.000 shuffle and dismissal of a number of ministers you know the person most responsible for having

00:09:44.240 appointed all of those people is basically saying you didn't do a good job and you know i'm moving you

00:09:49.520 and so therefore i i think that the message that that sends to canadians if he doesn't have

00:09:54.640 confidence in his own people why should we and you know i i think there's growing demand and growing

00:10:01.680 discontent in the country for the direction that that this government has led the country our lack of

00:10:08.960 resources going to market our high taxes are punishing carbon tax in particular and just a prime minister who

00:10:17.920 doesn't come across as serious and you are in politics since so many years you saw under our

00:10:25.440 per government now you saw trudeau and maybe now we see under polyeth government and his father when my

00:10:33.600 dad was in parliament but you know i think justin trudeau has in fact surpassed his father in terms of

00:10:41.360 the division and the derision and the anger and the destructive policies and the diminishing of

00:10:48.720 canada's reputation i think he's outdone his father in terms of the damage that he has inflicted on

00:10:53.760 canadians you know what it's good to be back at the conservative party convention talking to various mps

00:10:58.960 and other party elders there were a few cowardly conservatives who ran away from alexa they didn't

00:11:04.720 want to talk to rebel news but as i said to alexa that's uh should be a feather in her cap because i 1.00

00:11:10.480 like it when politicians are a little bit scared of rebel news because that means we've got tough

00:11:14.640 questions for them that they don't expect from the rest of the media and i think alex is doing a great

00:11:19.120 job don't you anyways um so coming home from that convention you can imagine you have hundreds actually

00:11:26.000 over a thousand consumers at that convention and then they go home so uh airlines sometimes add another

00:11:33.680 flight and that was the case coming home from the convention there was an extra west jet flight that

00:11:40.000 was almost all not completely all but overwhelmingly conservative party delegates that were coming

00:11:45.760 home and west jet loved the business and it was sort of fun because it was you know if you've ever

00:11:49.360 flown with a group of people you know it's a lot more fun so just for a lark uh pierre paulio the

00:11:55.680 conservative leader made a 45 second comment on the airplane's pa system he uh got permission in advance

00:12:05.120 for it he didn't just take the mic and talk and remember this is it wasn't quite a chartered flight

00:12:09.680 but it was an extra flight put on for conservative delegates so people liked it they got a real kick

00:12:14.000 out of it here it's just 45 seconds long take a listen hello everyone this is pierre paulio happy to

00:12:20.080 join you for a wonderful western flight back in my hometown of calvary who's ready for a home you can afford

00:12:29.360 who's ready for some common sense

00:12:31.360 who's ready to give a big thank you to the west jet pilots and crew

00:12:43.600 this is your captain warning a little bit of turbulence but it will only last about two years

00:12:52.160 and when shine we'll have a totally new crew and pilot in charge of the plane we'll pierce through the storm

00:12:58.640 safely land in our home the country we know and love your home my home our home let's bring it home

00:13:10.400 no big deal and by the way uh politicians of every stripe do this all the time

00:13:15.120 uh here's omar al gabra the uh transport minister doing the same thing on some train remember this

00:13:21.120 good afternoon uh my name is umar al gabra i am the federal minister of transport uh

00:13:34.880 uh it's a pleasure uh joining you here this afternoon today on via i'm on my way to quebec city

00:13:43.040 where i'll be making an exciting announcement where we are launching the procurement process for building

00:13:50.320 a brand new dedicated line for a high frequency wheel that will connect to quebec city through montreal

00:13:59.600 ottawa and toronto it will increase the speed of up to 200 kilometers an hour and increase frequency

00:14:13.360 excited about this announcement and it's a pleasure being on board with you today i wish you a safe trip

00:14:20.000 thank you thank you it's no big deal he's a transport minister you listen to him for a second and then

00:14:28.240 you go back to things justin trudeau has done it too um but oh my god talk about a scandal uh the union

00:14:39.120 that claims to represent west jet employees uh qp i don't know what they're doing representing west

00:14:45.280 that says for a canadian union of public employees these are west jet uh staffers what's that got to

00:14:50.960 do with qp they made a huge fuss about him um spoiler alert qp alberta is run by rachel notley's

00:14:59.920 husband rachel notley the former ndp premier so this was just a political setup i couldn't help but notice

00:15:05.680 that west jet union qp that was going to the mattresses on this it was so outraged by this

00:15:11.600 they were the same qp union that didn't bat an eyelash did not oppose in any way the forced

00:15:19.440 mandate that west jet employees had to get the jab to be fired so west jets useless union qp didn't lift

00:15:28.560 a finger to protect their members from forced vaccinations but boy are they mad now because

00:15:34.800 uh the leader of the opposition had a 45 second joke on a special flight that's just so gross but

00:15:41.680 listen what are you going to do it's an ndp union making a fuss really who cares but look at this

00:15:47.840 grossness this is from ctv news in calgary our reporter tyson fedor is hoping to speak to non-delegates

00:15:56.880 aboard the west jet flight from quebec city to calgary that saw pierre paulieu speak on the pa system if you

00:16:02.400 were please email him at tyson dot fedora bell media dot ca oh boy this i i smell a pulitzer prize

00:16:09.440 here folks i mean this is investigative journalist at his best they don't want to talk to you if you

00:16:14.000 liked it they don't want to talk to the vast majority of people on the plane who were conservative

00:16:17.680 delegates but if you were on that plane and weren't a conservative ctv is pulling out all the stops we've

00:16:23.520 got to talk to you we've got to keep this story going but look ctv is not really news and that story

00:16:30.480 that tyson fedora is working on that's really not a news story that's a grant application from ctv

00:16:38.320 to justin trudeau for another bailout of the media that's not news ctv's viewers are not saying yeah

00:16:45.760 i want to talk to someone who was on that plane and had to listen for 45 seconds to peer paulieu but not

00:16:50.640 someone who liked it i want to find someone who didn't like it that's really what this i've waited

00:16:54.160 this is incredible news i could hardly with no one saying that this is not being done for the viewers

00:17:00.480 of ctv of whom there are fewer and fewer every day this is being done for one viewer his name is

00:17:06.240 justin trudeau um i should tell you that ctv news is sort of a fake company i mean it's real uh but it's

00:17:14.880 a hobby for its owner ctv is owned by a massive mighty legacy monopoly called bce which stands for bell

00:17:24.480 canada as you know bell used to be the telephone monopoly well they're no longer a monopoly but

00:17:30.160 they're part of an oligopoly a handful of highly regulated companies that just make billions of

00:17:37.520 dollars because they're sort of like public utilities they get all sorts of rules in their favor

00:17:44.080 it's one of the reasons why canadians pay the highest cell phone prices in the world canadian cell

00:17:50.560 phone bills are literally the highest in the world we pay the most for data we pay the most for roaming

00:17:56.480 we pay the most anywhere in the world because we have this oligopoly and that's the business that bce

00:18:04.080 is in bell canada they have ctv news but it doesn't make them any money they don't even really care

00:18:10.720 about it this morning i read bell canada's quarterly report to shareholders and i did a word search in there

00:18:18.240 ctv news isn't mentioned at all actually ctv is mentioned one time the word ctv is mentioned one

00:18:28.080 time in passing in a 60 page report to shareholders it is irrelevant even the company doesn't care about

00:18:36.000 it they just laid off 1300 staff on the tv and news side they're they're selling or literally shutting down

00:18:44.640 nine radio stations they don't care about the news at bell canada the only thing they care about

00:18:51.120 is where their money comes from their cell phone and their cable monopoly which is extremely carefully

00:18:57.040 regulated by trudeau's hand-picked crtc um you know so ctv news even though it looks very fancy and

00:19:06.240 very authoritative it's not about the news and it's not even about making money it's a kind of bargaining chip

00:19:13.920 for bell's core business which is cell phone rates and cable rates because they are regulated by

00:19:20.160 trudeau and trudeau gives bell canada sweetheart deal so understand this ctv news does not make money

00:19:27.280 ctv news is not real news ctv news is bell canada's way of sucking up to trudeau so that their real

00:19:34.080 business is charging extortionate cable and cell phones can continue to flow that's if you if you look

00:19:41.200 at ctv news through that lens it all starts to make sense so don't look at tyson fedora and this

00:19:48.400 fake story about were you on the airplane and upset don't look at this real news company that's not how

00:19:53.200 they see themselves they're fluffers for justin trudeau that's the errand that tyson fedora is on

00:19:58.960 and it's just one more reason that you should despise the raging media and never trust them stay with us our

00:20:06.960 friend sheila gun read is next

00:20:20.880 well we're in the home stretch now we've been out of the country for about ten and a half days if my

00:20:25.680 math is right an interesting trip following the abraham accords we started in israel toured around

00:20:32.240 that country met with some of the architects of that international peace treaty and then we came here

00:20:37.600 the united arab emirates were standing in dubai today but earlier we were in abu adabi

00:20:42.560 the capital city where we saw some amazing things and my friend sheila gun reid was with us the whole

00:20:47.120 time it's both david menzi's avi yamini and others uh it was really fun it was really educational and of

00:20:54.640 course we brought along about 40 of our most enthusiastic rebel viewers and so we traveled around

00:21:00.160 out of the big tour bus and we heard these speakers and we saw these sites together now we're all headed

00:21:05.440 home now and uh but we've seen some interesting things i want to talk about sheila about it sheila

00:21:11.280 agreed to see you thanks for giving up 10 days away from home away from your family to hang out

00:21:15.840 with me and the 40 rebels i would have missed it for anything well it was very interesting you've come

00:21:20.960 to israel before but this is your first time you've been to the united arab emirates and it's a

00:21:27.280 dictatorship it's a benign dictatorship it reminds me a bit of singapore and how hong kong used to be

00:21:34.080 law you know there's the rule of law in fact some parts of the uae they use the british legal system

00:21:40.880 and it's one of the reasons why united ever emirates is succeeding economically as they have adopted many

00:21:47.520 western norms but at the end of the day it is a dictatorship but it is a dictatorship that has

00:21:54.160 decided to modernize become progressive and to make peace with an eternal enemy the jewish state 1.00

00:22:02.000 what did you think about what we saw here in the uae you know i had lots of opinions about the things

00:22:07.680 that i saw but even this hotel itself where we're staying it serves kosher food and the hotel manager

00:22:15.040 is a palestinian christian from bethlehem a woman who's in charge of this hotel and it's like this

00:22:22.960 hotel itself is a microcosm of the success of the abraham accords um today we went to see the

00:22:31.600 abrahamic friendship center i think we've all called it a different name the entire time that we were here

00:22:36.560 but as everyone was sort of poking around we had some free time i ran back to the catholic church just to

00:22:41.440 have a few minutes alone and as i was sitting there with my rosary beads in my hand a couple came in

00:22:48.240 in islamic garb the woman in full black the man in all white everybody's covered up and they stood there

00:22:54.400 in front of the altar looking at the virgin mary and i would like it it's an image that i saw that i

00:23:01.040 thought i would never see in my lifetime it was almost disorienting how strange it was but apparently it's

00:23:08.640 quite normal now these days here in in dubai and it is directly related to prime minister or prime

00:23:16.880 minister trump president trump's philosophy that so much of the economic ties with the middle east

00:23:26.080 with the united states must go through jerusalem you know it was amazing you know there are emirates

00:23:32.400 bahrain morocco sudan kosovo these are muslim countries that have decided to make peace donald

00:23:38.560 trump deserved a nobel peace prize but of course they're too political to give it to him but it was

00:23:42.880 quite something to see and you know this abraham family center friendship center i keep forgetting

00:23:48.880 what it's exactly called it's enormous it is absolutely gorgeous but one thing that i notice is

00:23:55.360 is high security you have to go through airport style security to get in there there's security guards

00:24:00.640 security cameras and our tour guide said please don't film me and i thought a lot of people are

00:24:07.120 really pleased with what united arab america is doing but there are a lot of people who must

00:24:11.760 hate it who must want to destroy it sabotage it maybe even god forbid assassinate the leader of 0.52

00:24:17.840 this country because if you are such a prominent like everyone in the world has heard about dubai

00:24:23.120 and everyone has heard that it's exciting and it's a land of the future and success and it

00:24:26.960 and it really is a a wonderful experiment gone right and a lot of people would say i don't want

00:24:33.440 them to normalize the jewish state i don't want them to set an example of peace and friendship we 0.71

00:24:39.200 must stop this so we're excited to see it i mean to see a jewish synagogue in a muslim country is just

00:24:46.240 astounding it can't be easy for a muslim leader to do this i don't think it is and i think that it 1.00

00:24:57.440 dubai itself dispels the idea that um that the muslim culture is incompatible with uh prosperity and

00:25:08.080 business and human rights um you know as i said they're the the uh hotel manager here's a woman 0.91

00:25:16.160 as a woman i never you know felt threatened out on the street i was out pretty late last night

00:25:21.360 just wandering around because that was the only time that it was cool enough to go out i i didn't

00:25:26.400 have to be all covered up i only had to be covered up when i went to the mosque today um and so for

00:25:32.480 other muslim leaders of the world that are poor impoverished um and are spending all their money 1.00

00:25:38.160 on terrorism and oppressing their people dubai shows that there's another way forward while

00:25:44.240 maintaining muslim culture yeah it's very interesting perhaps the most astonishing thing

00:25:49.760 i saw in our uae um few days was a holocaust museum now we went to the world's largest holocaust 0.90

00:25:57.840 museum in israel called yad vashem obviously this one in dubai was sort of mini but it was a real thing

00:26:05.840 and it was official and it was proud and it had the blessing of the government

00:26:10.320 and it was it was just new so i mean obviously it's not going to be massive and mighty but uh but

00:26:16.240 for a muslim country to say not only are we not anti-semites not only are we not holocaust deniers we are

00:26:24.400 going to explain and lament the holocaust and teach foreign and domestic people alike and we're good 0.81

00:26:32.160 and it was but that is stunning to me that a muslim man in a muslim country would set up a museum 0.83

00:26:39.840 about the holocaust to to teach the truth and the lessons of it unbelievable to me that place blew my

00:26:48.080 mind it was the museum of the crossroads of civilization and it's a private museum the things

00:26:55.280 we saw there and as a christian seeing a pre-schism bible that's something i could only imagine seeing

00:27:03.600 that would be behind the walls somewhere in the vatican hidden away from uh the eyes of the public

00:27:08.960 forever just because it's so important and he had it there and he also had an entire section

00:27:15.040 dedicated to reminding muslims that the jews have also always been in israel he made it a very a very

00:27:24.320 strong point that the jews have all always been there arabs are also there too and it wasn't always

00:27:31.040 so contentious as it is now and i i just thought it was fascinating and wonderful his dedication to

00:27:38.080 uh telling stories that we don't hear i was talking to kian simoni behind the camera the amount of

00:27:45.120 stories that he had of arabs who risked everything to save christians and to save jews during the

00:27:51.120 holocaust blew me away but you know like he really was committed to telling those stories because we

00:27:56.480 don't hear about that in school at all you know a couple days ago i i talked with joel pollack about

00:28:02.640 some of the things we had seen and we were standing in front of a mosque and i didn't feel threatened

00:28:08.240 by it i didn't feel hated by it in fact for the first time in my life i felt curious and appreciative

00:28:14.960 of the ornate architecture and because the the antagonism the psychological antagonism is being

00:28:23.120 removed we were walking on as a group to the burj khalifa that's the tallest building in the world you

00:28:28.880 can't go to dubai without seeing that and we were in the mall the rich khalifa is uh rooted in a large

00:28:35.040 shopping mall and so we were walking sort of all 40 plus of us through the mall and by the way most

00:28:41.040 people in dubai are not emirati citizens they're foreign workers whether they're from london or america

00:28:47.920 or whether they're more blue collar workers often from india pakistan thailand philippines whatever

00:28:54.000 so one fella comes up to me and says who are you who are you in this march and i told him i said

00:29:00.400 we're from canada and we're he said what are you doing i said we're here to look at the abraham

00:29:05.520 accords peace between israel and the united like i just in very plain language i answered him and he

00:29:11.520 sort of walked alongside he's from pakistan which is not a particularly pro-jewish country

00:29:17.360 and and he was asking questions and he didn't have really anything he's just listening listening

00:29:22.160 listening and this idea he you could see he was sort of osmosing it because united emirants if

00:29:31.840 if the vast majority of people here from other places they're here under sort of a bargain the

00:29:37.120 bargain is get with the sheik's program get with the emir's program and build a new society that is 0.65

00:29:44.960 not hateful not terroristic that is open to all there are some rules for sure you know um i mean

00:29:51.840 don't violate those rules don't there i i learned on our way in if you have a if your gender is x on

00:29:58.000 your passport you ain't getting into your age do you know i scarce i i think i saw one cop the whole

00:30:03.600 time that we were here i was sort of looking to see like what is the police presence at i saw one and

00:30:10.000 he wasn't doing policing he was helping a car broken down on the side of the road i saw that guy too and

00:30:14.640 you're so right but everyone here knows they're part of a great experiment and it's part of a bargain

00:30:20.000 so that i'm i guess i'm prejudging that guy from pakistan but i'm guessing if i were in pakistan

00:30:25.840 with 40 pro israel people he might have had something different to say but here in dubai

00:30:33.280 he knows that's this is the kind of place where you have to accept other people and i think that they

00:30:38.400 this is a crucible i think they're inventing something new here and i think it's actually

00:30:43.520 wonderful and as a jew it is such a feeling of healing to go to a muslim country and to be

00:30:49.520 welcomed and we we had dinner with a chabad rabbi chabad rabbis are very observant jews and they go to

00:30:56.400 far-flung places in the world um to serve remote communities i mean they're the chabad synagogues in new 0.86

00:31:01.920 york and chicago but they're also you know in the arctic or or in africa so um he said and i

00:31:09.600 absolutely believe him he said he is never once and he's visibly jewish because he's got the yarmulke 0.66

00:31:14.480 and he dresses a certain way he says never once in all his time in dubai and i think he said he's been

00:31:19.200 here for five or six years something never once has he had an anti-semitic action or comment but he

00:31:26.160 said when he goes back to new york he does people shout at him like various anti-semitism i mean look

00:31:32.480 i'll tell you one thing you don't walk around with the yarmulke in in at night in parts of paris i'll

00:31:37.760 tell you that and yet here in this muslim country called uh jubai in the united arab emirates he said

00:31:43.520 he's had no problems look i'll put it to you this way there are places in israel that jews can't go 0.85

00:31:48.640 where they don't permit themselves to go just the interest in the interest of anti-incitement you know

00:31:54.240 like the temple mount when we were on the temple mount the religious jews and the secular jews

00:32:00.080 needed a police escort um and those were israeli police escort and it wasn't to to stop them from

00:32:07.840 you know being attacked it was to prevent them from praying because praying might incite people

00:32:13.200 to inspire violence against them so you know for him to say that i've never felt an anti-semitic moment

00:32:18.560 here that that's much different than it is even in parts of israel and in places controlled by the

00:32:25.040 palestinians but kian and i you know like i wondered where did all these filipinos go to church um

00:32:32.720 because the philippines is a very catholic country there's filipino foreign workers all over the place

00:32:38.560 here and so i googled catholic church near me there's a ton of catholic churches here well-established catholic

00:32:44.560 churches um so this really is a place of pluralism yeah it's incredible well we've had an interesting

00:32:50.640 time for sure i uh i was away for a long time we were all away for a long time and that's a little

00:32:57.760 bit hard to bear when when we've got stuff cooking back home so i'm grateful the team back home

00:33:03.040 for example the team that was covering the tamara leach trial all week when we were here

00:33:06.320 the timing was just coincidental that literally the first day of the trial was the day we left on the

00:33:11.120 strip but i feel like it's been in good hands with robert crachuk and lincoln jay uh by the

00:33:15.920 way when we come back to town boy there's a lot of stuff cooking monday i'll be in lethbridge for

00:33:21.120 arthur pavlovsky sentencing tuesday i'll be in calgary on the calgary police service matter i mentioned

00:33:26.640 the other day wednesday derek reimer's prosecution begins in calgary he's the christian pastor who was

00:33:33.200 arrested uh for protesting peacefully outside of drag queen story hour thursday i'm on trial again

00:33:39.200 in toronto for my book the labranos elections canada and i are tussling in court so it just

00:33:44.960 does not end i'm coming back to a very busy week thank you for your support if you want to hang out

00:33:50.480 with us and i think it was fun so much um we're doing a trip in march which is not that far away

00:33:57.120 it's just six months from now we're setting sail out of fort lauderdale for a one-week tour of the

00:34:02.160 caribbean uh we're going to the bahamas cayman islands cozumel uh the jamaica because mexico and

00:34:10.080 jamaica if i'm pronouncing that right which is um and it's not as far it's not as hard to get to

00:34:15.920 fort lauderdale as it is to get to israel to buy it so you know three hour flight from toronto four

00:34:20.160 hour flight from calgary uh it's it's less expensive obviously than this and it's less it's it's not as long

00:34:25.760 so and oh and tamara leach coming so you got to be there go to rebelnewscruise.com it's fun i need

00:34:34.640 a vacation from this trip but we'll see you there if you can make it that's our story for today sheila
