Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Canadian military conducted a psy-op against Canadians — what this means for freedom

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Huge story in post-media, and you've got to give them credit where it's due.

00:00:05.860 Justin Trudeau and his military have been spying on Canadians. Now, Trudeau says he knows nothing

00:00:10.980 about it. Is that a fact? What kind of spying were they doing? What were they doing with the spying?

00:00:17.100 Were they engaging in propaganda? What do they mean by an information operation in a domestic

00:00:23.040 concept? That's weird language. I'll take you through the story in the post.

00:00:27.100 And we already know that they spy on Rebel News. We've found a military contractor at University

00:00:34.280 of Arkansas who they paid to spy on us, so this just gets creepier by the moment. We'll take you

00:00:38.780 through it. While I got you, let me invite you to subscribe to Rebel News Plus. That's the TV version

00:00:44.380 of this podcast. It's eight bucks a month. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com and click subscribe.

00:00:55.540 every week. Plus, the knowledge that you're helping keep Rebel News independent. We don't

00:01:01.200 take a dime from Trudeau, and we never will. All right, here's today's podcast.

00:01:04.840 Tonight, why is Trudeau deploying the Canadian Armed Forces against our citizens to promote

00:01:27.280 his political agenda? It's September 27th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:33.940 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:37.700 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:41.760 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's

00:01:46.180 my bloody right to do so.

00:01:54.000 Important story in the National Post today. The Canadian Armed Forces conducted an information

00:01:59.440 operation against Canadian citizens last year in support of Trudeau's lockdown message. It

00:02:05.600 was a psychological manipulation of our own people. Now, this is shocking, but it's totally

00:02:12.720 in keeping with Trudeau's authoritarian stance. It's what you'd expect from a military in

00:02:17.740 an authoritarian regime, say, like China.

00:02:21.200 There's a level of admiration I actually have for China, because their basic dictatorship

00:02:30.740 is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime.

00:02:35.160 We've seen armed forces being used in Australia recently with their lockdowns, armed with guns

00:02:42.200 in the streets to intimidate and terrify. Take a look at this, a strange ambush.

00:02:47.280 Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

00:02:58.960 What's that all about? Drawing weapons on civilians? It's outrageous. The Armed Forces are the 0.82

00:03:17.260 forces, funded, staffed, created by law to defend, in that case Australia, against foreign

00:03:23.260 aggressors, now being used to intimidate Australian citizens, peacefully protesting. So outrageous.

00:03:29.180 The police are atrocious down there enough. I mean, look at this.

00:03:32.260 He lives 500 metres that way. When you guys check that, it's going to be really awkward.

00:03:42.260 I'm not going to argue with you.

00:03:43.460 Okay, can I ask what he's been arrested for? Watch me. Watch me what?

00:03:48.260 No, I'm fine here. Thank you. You can explain it here.

00:03:50.260 What's happened earlier on is we've seen your friend up here. You've explained that. It's not necessary.

00:03:54.260 And we've given you a direction to move on. I understand that. And not return.

00:03:58.260 He's not returning his own. He lives a block away. So what do you mean?

00:04:02.260 Yeah, but he has no reason to be here. He has no valid reason to be out today. He wasn't wearing a face mask.

00:04:06.260 Hold on. He has a face mask in his pocket. He was just smoking a cigarette. He just came to get lunch with me.

00:04:11.260 Oh, what do you mean? I've been living here this whole time. What do you mean?

00:04:20.260 I live 200 metres up the road. We're all going for a walk.

00:04:26.260 What do you mean? I've gone to meet my friends, which I told your friends before.

00:04:29.260 I literally have food in my hands.

00:04:30.260 He's gone to get a kebab and we're going for a walk.

00:04:33.260 And the reason I never mask on is because I was having a cigarette. I've got two masks in my pocket.

00:04:37.260 Like, what else do you want me to do?

00:04:39.260 Oh, pretty much.

00:04:40.260 That country is so far gone.

00:04:42.260 But how about us?

00:04:43.260 Our own military is conducting exercises against us.

00:04:47.260 At least in Australia, they show their face. 0.98

00:04:49.260 Here, they engage in psyops against us. Psychological operations.

00:04:54.260 Let me read.

00:04:55.260 Here's the story in the Post. It says,

00:04:57.260 Military leaders saw a pandemic as a unique opportunity to test propaganda on Canadians, report says.

00:05:03.260 A plan devised by the Canadian Joint Operations Command relied on propaganda techniques similar to those employed during the Afghan war.

00:05:13.260 Testing propaganda on Canadians. Are they still doing that, by the way?

00:05:16.260 That's the thing about propaganda.

00:05:18.260 It often doesn't work as well if you tell people you're doing it.

00:05:21.260 Some propaganda is white propaganda.

00:05:23.260 It's like a public service announcement.

00:05:25.260 You see who's saying it and you can understand why.

00:05:27.260 It's, you know, they're trying to manipulate you, but it's like any other ad.

00:05:31.260 You know who's saying it and why.

00:05:33.260 But grey propaganda, as it's called, is a little bit vague.

00:05:36.260 You sort of still know what's going on, but black propaganda is the name given to it when you're being tricked.

00:05:42.260 For example, we just now learned from the New York Times, no less, that the January 6th insurrection on Capitol Hill

00:05:48.260 was actually led by FBI informants and undercover agents.

00:05:52.260 That's a kind of propaganda.

00:05:53.260 Do something provocative, but with a hidden hand, a false flag, to cause disrepute to your enemy.

00:06:00.260 Now, you expect that in politics. You just don't usually expect it from the FBI.

00:06:04.260 The FBI seems to do that a lot.

00:06:07.260 They did that in the plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

00:06:10.260 That was timed to embarrass the Republicans in a key state on the eve of the election.

00:06:15.260 It turns out the entire project was quarterbacked by the FBI who were manipulating guys in MAGA hats.

00:06:21.260 They were trying to embarrass Trump.

00:06:23.260 It's a kind of black propaganda. 0.89

00:06:26.260 Was that what the armed forces in Canada were doing under Trudeau to discredit the anti-lockdown movement?

00:06:33.260 I saw some inauthentic activity myself and I called it out at the time when this guy, Lamont Daigle,

00:06:39.260 showed up all of a sudden with a corporate logo and professionally produced signs

00:06:43.260 and just declared himself the leader of the anti-lockdownists in Toronto and nationwide.

00:06:48.260 And then he started calling for violence again and again.

00:06:52.260 Who was he? A narc? A fed? Canadian Armed Forces asset?

00:06:58.260 We tried to figure it out.

00:07:00.260 No, but when we look at this one quote here,

00:07:02.260 trust me when I tell you it is a daily battle to not take someone's car and drive it through the middle of the CBC.

00:07:09.260 I don't know how that falls into the bailiwick of self-defense in any regard.

00:07:14.260 I mean, I'm no fan.

00:07:15.260 I don't think anyone at the Rebel is a fan of the CBC,

00:07:18.260 but I would never advocate a violent act against the CBC or an employee of the CBC.

00:07:24.260 I completely agree with you. And as a matter of fact, it's not just about the CBC, about CTV, CityTV,

00:07:29.260 any of these mainstream media that have been lying about the numbers that have been here.

00:07:33.260 Because quite frankly, we've seen up to 10,000 people here.

00:07:36.260 And they're always reporting about 100 people, 200 people, 300 people.

00:07:39.260 So they're lying to the people. They've been lying to us for seven months.

00:07:43.260 And personally, not the lying Canada, but personally, I'm fed up with them.

00:07:48.260 And I can have ideas in my mind about how I feel about driving a car through the CBC.

00:07:54.260 It's a fantasy in my mind that would never play out in actuality.

00:07:57.260 Yeah, is that kind of provocateur disinformation?

00:08:00.260 Is that what the army was doing? And would they admit to it if they were?

00:08:05.260 We know that Grant Bristow, who ran the Heritage Front, a racist organization that got huge press coverage for years,

00:08:11.260 well, we later learned that he was a CSIS agent paid by the government not only to gin up racist fears

00:08:17.260 and to commit racism, but also to discredit the newly formed Reform Party.

00:08:22.260 Is that what's happening here again?

00:08:24.260 I'll read from the story in the Post.

00:08:26.260 It's so rare that Trudeau's Post media, they're the largest recipient of his bailout money in Canada.

00:08:30.260 It's so rare that they do investigations like this.

00:08:32.260 We've got to give them credit when they do.

00:08:34.260 So good for them.

00:08:36.260 Canadian military leaders saw the pandemic as a unique opportunity

00:08:40.260 to test out propaganda techniques on an unsuspecting public,

00:08:43.260 a newly released Canadian Forces report concludes.

00:08:46.260 The federal government never asked for the so-called information operations campaign,

00:08:50.260 nor did cabinet authorize the initiative developed during the COVID-19 pandemic

00:08:55.260 by the Canadian Joint Operations Command, then headed by Lieutenant General Mike Rolo.

00:08:59.260 But military commanders believe they didn't need to get approval from higher authorities

00:09:04.260 to develop and proceed with their plan.

00:09:06.260 Retired Major General Daniel Gosselin, who was brought in to investigate the scheme, concluded in his report.

00:09:13.260 Do you believe that?

00:09:15.260 Do you believe that Trudeau or his PMO staff never asked for this?

00:09:19.260 Were never aware of it?

00:09:21.260 Do you believe that Hajit Sajjan didn't know?

00:09:23.260 I mean, really.

00:09:24.260 Do you think that the Canadian Armed Forces conducted an information operation against Canadian citizens

00:09:28.260 and never ran enough to change the command first?

00:09:30.260 Do you really believe that?

00:09:31.260 Or is this still part of the propaganda campaign?

00:09:34.260 Let me read some more.

00:09:36.260 The propaganda plan was developed and put in place in April 2020, even though the Canadian forces had already acknowledged that

00:09:42.260 information operations and targeting policies and doctrines are aimed at adversaries

00:09:46.260 and have a limited application in a domestic concept.

00:09:49.260 Limited?

00:09:50.260 Why would the army be used against Canadian citizens at all?

00:09:54.260 I'll read some more.

00:09:57.260 The plan devised by the Canadian Joint Operations Command, also known as C-Joke, that's what I'm going to call them,

00:10:03.260 relied on propaganda techniques similar to those employed during the Afghanistan war.

00:10:07.260 The campaign called for shaping and exploiting information.

00:10:11.260 C-Joke claimed the information operations scheme was needed to head off civil disobedience by Canadians

00:10:16.260 during the coronavirus pandemic and to bolster government messaging above the pandemic.

00:10:21.260 A separate initiative not linked to the C-Joke plan, but overseen by Canadian Forces intelligence officers,

00:10:26.260 culled information from public social media accounts in Ontario.

00:10:30.260 Data was also compiled on peaceful Black Lives Matter gatherings and BLM leaders.

00:10:35.260 Senior military officers claimed that information was needed to ensure the success of Operation Laser,

00:10:40.260 the Canadian Forces mission to help out in long-term care homes hit by COVID-19

00:10:45.260 and to aid in the distribution of vaccines in some northern communities.

00:10:48.260 Really? Is that why they spied on Black Lives Matter?

00:10:52.260 BLM organizers have questioned why military officials gathered information on their initiative,

00:10:57.260 pointing out they have followed pandemic rules and did not hold any gatherings outside LTC homes.

00:11:02.260 Well, of course they broke all the anti-lockdown rules they wanted to

00:11:06.260 because the government doesn't enforce against them.

00:11:08.260 But I wouldn't want the army involved.

00:11:11.260 Hey, who else did the armed forces spy on?

00:11:13.260 I mean, Black Lives Matter really hasn't been involved in the anti-lockdown movement.

00:11:17.260 They've had other protests, but the big sustained anti-lockdown protests in Canada

00:11:22.260 have been more freedom-oriented, not restricted to any one race.

00:11:27.260 Were they spied on?

00:11:29.260 Were we?

00:11:30.260 Were we spied on?

00:11:32.260 I mean, we're active on social media, we cover the lockdown movement.

00:11:35.260 What's Trudeau's government doing about us?

00:11:38.260 Are they spying on us?

00:11:40.260 Spying on us again, I mean.

00:11:42.260 As you might recall, the Canadian Armed Forces has spied on Rebel News before.

00:11:47.260 They hired a military contractor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock to do a cyber analysis of us.

00:11:53.260 And get this, they claim we're conducting an information operation to get Jagmeet Singh elected.

00:11:58.260 I'm serious, that's what they said. 1.00

00:11:59.260 They're embarrassingly stupid. 1.00

00:12:01.260 But that's not the point. 1.00

00:12:02.260 The point is, we know they're spying on us already. 1.00

00:12:05.260 They may be stupid spies, but they're spying on us. 1.00

00:12:08.260 Alright, back to the story in the Post. 1.00

00:12:11.260 Gosselin's investigation discovered the plan wasn't simply the idea of passionate military propaganda specialists,

00:12:16.260 but support for the use of such information operations was clearly a mindset that permeated the thinking at many levels of sea joke.

00:12:23.260 Those in the command saw the pandemic as a unique opportunity to test out such techniques on Canadians.

00:12:30.260 Reviews put forth by Rear Admiral Brian Santarpia, then Sea Joke's Chief of Staff, summed up the command's attitude.

00:12:36.260 Gosselin noted in his report,

00:12:38.260 The command saw the military's pandemic response as an opportunity to monitor and collect public information

00:12:53.260 in order to enhance our awareness for better command decision-making, Gosselin determined.

00:12:59.260 Gosselin also pointed out Sea Joke's staff had a palpable dismissive attitude toward the advice and concerns raised by other military leaders.

00:13:07.260 Okay, so they were spying on people, that's for sure.

00:13:11.260 On political opponents of the government, that's for sure.

00:13:14.260 And they laughed at any concept of oversight or limiting their spying.

00:13:17.260 But did they engage in outward bound propaganda too?

00:13:20.260 Spying on us is creepy, they're creepy, but what did they do with it?

00:13:24.260 Did they try and meddle with us? Did they try to interfere with us?

00:13:28.260 There's an ongoing debate inside National Defense Headquarters in Ottawa about the use of information operations techniques.

00:13:33.260 Some public affairs officers, intelligence specialists, and senior planners want to expand the scope of such methods in Canada

00:13:39.260 to allow them to better control and shape government information the public receives.

00:13:44.260 Others inside headquarters worry that such operations could lead to abuses, including having military staff intentionally mislead the Canadian public,

00:13:50.260 or taking measures to target opposition MPs or those who criticize government or military policy.

00:13:56.260 Did that happen? Did the Canadian forces mislead the public?

00:14:01.260 There's been lots of propaganda about how bad the pandemic is, about how you must be locked down, how you have to give up your rights.

00:14:08.260 Was the army intelligence involved in that?

00:14:11.260 I mean, they've outright lied before, as the Post notes.

00:14:16.260 Military propaganda training and initiatives within Canada over the last year have proved to be controversial.

00:14:21.260 The Canadian forces had to launch an investigation after a September 2020 incident

00:14:26.260 when military information operations staff forged a letter from the Nova Scotian government

00:14:32.260 warning about wolves on the loose in a particular region of the province.

00:14:36.260 That's what I mean by black propaganda. People felt manipulated. 0.56

00:14:51.260 They didn't know they were being manipulated, though, and they didn't know who was doing it and why.

00:14:55.260 Trudeau was doing it. That's it. I'll read more.

00:14:58.260 Yet another review centered on the Canadian Forces Public Affairs Branch and its activities last year.

00:15:02.260 The branch launched a controversial plan that would have allowed military public affairs offices

00:15:07.260 to use propaganda to change attitudes and behaviors of Canadians,

00:15:11.260 as well as to collect and analyze information from public social media accounts.

00:15:16.260 The plan would have seen staff move from traditional government methods of communicating with the public

00:15:21.260 to a more aggressive strategy of using information warfare and influence tactics on Canadians.

00:15:27.260 Included among those tactics was the use of friendly defense analysts and retired generals to push military PR messages

00:15:33.260 and to criticize on social media those who raise questions about military spending and accountability.

00:15:39.260 So they're not just spying and propagandizing for the good of the country,

00:15:42.260 but they're spying and propagandizing to promote their own interests, their own funding.

00:15:47.260 That's the definition of a deep state. They care about their paychecks and their permanent power.

00:15:52.260 That's what Eisenhower warned about, his military industrial complex.

00:15:57.260 Seriously, how much trust have you lost in police in the last 18 months?

00:16:01.260 For me, it's been catastrophic.

00:16:03.260 A lifetime of support for police has been eroded.

00:16:06.260 How much trust have you lost in doctors?

00:16:09.260 A lot for me.

00:16:11.260 They're not allowed to speak out and few would anyway.

00:16:15.260 How about for the media?

00:16:16.260 Well, I had very little to begin with, but now we have to put the military itself into the category of untrustworthy liars too.

00:16:23.260 And they know it.

00:16:25.260 Several months ago, Acting Chief of Defense Staff General Wayne Ayer

00:16:29.260 and Department of National Defense Deputy Minister Jody Thomas acknowledged

00:16:34.260 in an internal document that various propaganda initiatives had gotten out of control.

00:16:38.260 Errors conducted during domestic operations and training and sometimes insular mindsets at various echelons

00:16:45.260 have eroded public confidence in the institution, noted a June 9, 2021 message signed by Aaron Thomas.

00:16:51.260 This included the conduct of information operations on a domestic operation without explicit Chief of Defense Staff Deputy Minister direction or authority to do so,

00:17:02.260 as well as the unsanctioned production of reports that appeared to be aimed at monitoring the activities of Canadians.

00:17:08.260 Yeah, we don't trust many institutions anymore, do we?

00:17:12.260 But that doesn't really seem to matter to these institutions.

00:17:15.260 I mean, what are you going to do about it, really?

00:17:19.260 Stay with us for more.

00:17:21.260 Welcome back.

00:17:35.260 Well, if you've been watching the news in the United States,

00:17:39.260 you've been stunned by literally tens of thousands of migrants at the Texas border,

00:17:47.260 many of whom have come from South America.

00:17:49.260 They claim to be Haitian.

00:17:51.260 And tens of thousands gathered under a highway bridge, and they were just let in.

00:17:56.260 It was rather like their own version of Roxham Road.

00:18:00.260 But some estimates put the number at 100,000 who have crossed in recent weeks,

00:18:07.260 the government admitting to at least 12,000 at that one crossing that's been in the news.

00:18:13.260 Well, if you think that the Democrats and the United States is the only country that has open borders,

00:18:19.260 you're missing out what's happening in Canada.

00:18:21.260 I'm not just talking about Roxham Road.

00:18:23.260 Those are illegal migrants. 1.00

00:18:25.260 I'm talking about what is considered legal.

00:18:28.260 Look at this bombshell exclusive in the Edmonton Sun by our friend Lauren Gunter.

00:18:34.260 The headline is,

00:18:35.260 Liberals to make immigration to Canada much easier.

00:18:40.260 And it discloses an internal memo instructing all the immigration judges in Canada

00:18:45.260 to basically take any woke claim as a reason to admit someone who wants to come to our country.

00:18:53.260 Joining us now via Skype from Edmonton is Lauren Gunter who will take us through it.

00:18:56.260 Lauren, amazing scoop.

00:18:58.260 Good for you.

00:18:59.260 Tell us, what was this email, this internal email?

00:19:04.260 Who was it sent by and what does it mean?

00:19:08.260 It was sent by Richard Wex, who is the chairperson and CEO of the Immigration and Refugee Appeal Board System.

00:19:18.260 So it's semi-detached from the immigration department.

00:19:23.260 It's not quite as independent as a lot of judiciaries are.

00:19:28.260 And Wex has sent out a new chairman's directive.

00:19:32.260 So this doesn't even debate it in parliament.

00:19:35.260 This hasn't gone to cabinet, although I suspect that the appropriate cabinet ministers know about it.

00:19:41.260 And it says that if you have intersectionality or trauma,

00:19:50.260 and I'll get to intersectionality in a second.

00:19:52.260 If you have either of these two, then you don't have to have what would be traditionally called a convention refugee definition.

00:20:01.260 You don't have to be someone who's seen as a refugee by the United Nations.

00:20:06.260 And, of course, the United Nations has a very broad definition of what makes a refugee.

00:20:11.260 But basically, up until now, you have to have shown to an immigration officer or then failing the immigration officer's decision.

00:20:22.260 You don't like the immigration officer's decision.

00:20:23.260 You have to then show to an immigration or refugee judge.

00:20:26.260 You had to show them that you are under threat of torture, imprisonment or death if you were sent back to the country that you come from.

00:20:37.260 Now, you merely have to assert that it is your perception that you have one or more intersectionality claims.

00:20:48.260 So age, sexual orientation, gender, political views, indigeneity, which was a word that does exist, but I didn't know it existed until I got a hold of this memo the other day.

00:21:04.260 There's a whole long list, and as you said in the introduction, of these woke reasons why you should be admitted to Canada.

00:21:13.260 And basically, it makes useless the entire screening system that we have, whether it's at the bureaucratic level where the officers first look at an application,

00:21:27.260 or at the semi-judicial level, these immigration adjudicators and refugee adjudicators, it makes it basically useless for them to do anything.

00:21:38.260 Because who won't, off of this long list of politically correct definitions, who won't be able to find two that they qualify for?

00:21:48.260 You know, I was reading your article, and one of the incredible facts that I did not know was that there are actually, you know, there's about 300 of these adjudicators across Canada,

00:21:58.660 and a couple dozen of them have a 100% acceptance rate.

00:22:04.160 That is, they have literally never said to someone, well, I'm not sure if you're a refugee.

00:22:10.200 I mean, what's the point?

00:22:11.500 By the way, I want to read to people what the United Nations definition is of a refugee.

00:22:16.020 It's not open doors. I've got it here on my phone.

00:22:18.980 It's a person who has fled his country because of a well-founded fear of persecution on a particular list of grounds, race, religion, nationality.

00:22:29.280 We're friends with a refugee lawyer named Giddy Mammon who said that someone whose husband was killed in Lebanon through a terrorist attack,

00:22:38.460 she wanted to come here as a refugee, and she was turned down because the immigration board said,

00:22:45.240 well, it's terrible what happened to your husband, but you do not have a well-founded fear of persecution.

00:22:50.620 I mean, that sounded maybe a little harsh to me, but that is, well, do you have a fear of persecution or not?

00:22:56.560 And is it well-founded, to use the UN words?

00:23:00.120 What you're saying is they're just absolutely doing away with any litmus test, and anyone who manages to make their way here, they're in.

00:23:08.600 That's what I'm hearing here. Am I wrong?

00:23:10.060 Yeah, basically. I think that's basically it.

00:23:12.020 And that's what I said in my piece today is that as long as you can make it here, it's very, very difficult now.

00:23:19.840 It will become very, very difficult for you to be removed.

00:23:22.900 It's already fairly good. The median approval rate, when it gets to the judicial level, for people to be allowed to stay here is about 70%.

00:23:35.480 So about 70% of the thousands of appeals that go to one of the adjudicators every year, about 70% are accepted.

00:23:44.340 And the adjudicators have varying degrees of acceptance.

00:23:51.040 There are a couple who only accepted about 4% of the people before them, and there are others who, if you correctly said, 22 out of about 320, who accepted 100%.

00:24:02.600 It didn't matter what the case evidence was.

00:24:05.720 It didn't matter whether or not there was a legitimate reason to accept.

00:24:10.500 I think most of them, who are liberal appointees, are simply there because, having formerly been immigration advisors or immigration lawyers working on behalf of claimants, they just think everyone should be allowed.

00:24:26.160 And I think that's basically the system we're coming at.

00:24:29.540 As I said, about 70% of claims that make it to the adjudicator are accepted.

00:24:37.400 I mean, the adjudicators sit them, they listen to evidence the way a judge would in a superior court.

00:24:42.840 You have to be able to prove, to some extent, that your insistence that you be under threat of imprisonment, torture, or death, if you were sent back, was legitimate.

00:24:54.160 But now, one was very, very interesting.

00:24:57.740 It says, were you perceived to be gay in your own country?

00:25:03.580 And is that perception that you're gay leading to you being discriminated again?

00:25:09.740 And if your answer is yes, and there wasn't much proof needed, you simply needed to say, yes, I was perceived to be gay, and that was making me, it was making my life dangerous, and you're in.

00:25:24.140 You know, a couple years ago, before the pandemic really pushed every other issue aside, the Liberals came out with a new immigration plan that over three years will bring in more than one million new Canadians.

00:25:38.880 And not quite a majority of those were either family reunification or refugees, so barely half of them would be folks who would be working, and we hear, well, we need more workers.

00:25:49.540 But of this million, hundreds of thousands would not be workers.

00:25:54.240 They would be folks who would be, you know, in the wagon, not helping to pull the wagon.

00:26:00.280 And I just want to read one line from your essay.

00:26:04.780 This is how the Liberals intend to turn 300,000 or so immigrants a year into 400,000 almost overnight. 0.84

00:26:12.940 I think that's true.

00:26:14.340 I think, and what gets me, Lorne, is that of the five parties that were in the official leaders' debates, all five of them seem to agree with these stats.

00:26:24.680 Maybe the Bloc Québécois wants only French-speaking migrants, but the Conservatives and the Liberals, there is no difference of opinion between them on immigration.

00:26:35.280 Am I wrong?

00:26:36.440 No, I think that's true.

00:26:37.700 I think largely this is one of those settled debates, like climate change and assault weapons and huge expansion of government,

00:26:48.280 is that there really is no party left that is taking a firm – it doesn't have to be a hard line, just a firmer line on this, to say, hey, let's enforce the rules as they exist.

00:27:01.720 Those rules exist for two reasons.

00:27:04.540 A, to allow legitimate refugees and immigrants into the country, and B, to keep illegitimate ones out, because who knows what they may be able to do. 1.00

00:27:14.160 It might only simply be that they want to come in because we have really good health care and welfare.

00:27:19.180 Or it might be because they want to see if they can't radicalize first and second generation Muslim youth in the country.

00:27:28.300 I mean, there are a whole bunch of security reasons why you would want to keep undesirable people out of the country, because once they're in, they're very difficult to remove.

00:27:38.380 But I think the Liberals don't see any of that.

00:27:41.900 They don't see any particular threat from anyone coming into the country.

00:27:46.340 So they're just throwing the doors wide open.

00:27:48.380 And you can bet that a lot of those people who are hanging out under the Del Rio Bridge in Texas over the last couple of weeks will eventually get word that all you need to do is show up in Canada and claim that you are being persecuted at home and presto, in you go.

00:28:08.920 Or that you would be poor if you were at home.

00:28:12.080 So, you know, an awful lot of people, if they really were Haitians sitting under the bridge in Del Rio, Texas, and there have been lots of reasons, storms and political ineptitude and corruption that have made most Haitians poor, that would be one of the things you would just claim. 0.78

00:28:29.660 You'd claim, I'm poor if I go home.

00:28:31.560 Here I have a chance.

00:28:32.700 And that would be enough.

00:28:34.020 Well, and once you get into the U.S. and they've acknowledged that they've allowed in a great number, if you're Haitian, odds are French is your first language, obviously.

00:28:44.140 It's the language they speak.

00:28:45.400 And there's a large Haitian community in Quebec, in Montreal in particular.

00:28:49.300 So if you get across the border in Texas, sure, you could hang out in America.

00:28:54.280 It's a wonderful country.

00:28:55.280 And they're not going to deport you anytime soon under Joe Biden.

00:28:57.560 But maybe you make your way to New York, cross over in Roxham Road, and now you're with one of the largest expat Haitian communities in the world.

00:29:06.380 Canada will never deport you.

00:29:08.440 You have more generous welfare and other social service benefits than they have in the States.

00:29:14.980 It wouldn't surprise me if we see an uptick in migrants at Roxham Road that Biden brought in.

00:29:21.880 I wouldn't surprise me at all.

00:29:22.920 Under Donald Trump, these were people who were self-deporting.

00:29:26.780 Many of the people who came across the border were going to be sent home by Trump if they didn't crash here. 1.00

00:29:31.700 Wouldn't surprise me if we see something similar.

00:29:33.700 Last word to you.

00:29:35.580 I want to praise the Edmonton Sun for running this article because you're not allowed to criticize open borders immigration in many forms anymore.

00:29:45.520 I think that this is one of those things where all the official establishment, all the institutions, all the fancy people and polite people are all agreed open borders forever.

00:29:59.360 But if you look at any poll, most Canadians of every party background in every region have the opposite point of view.

00:30:08.220 So I'm glad you wrote this.

00:30:09.920 I'm worried that we won't even be able to talk about this for very long.

00:30:13.280 Am I being too much of a pessimist on that?

00:30:17.580 I don't think we'll be shut up anytime soon.

00:30:20.560 But I do think that you look at, like, Bill C-10 and Bill C-36, the two internet regulation bills that the liberals had on the order paper before they called the election and everything was dissolved.

00:30:33.340 So laws like that could eventually be used, as you well know, because of your excellent history with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

00:30:44.040 Bills like that certainly can be used by activist organizations to shut up their opponent.

00:30:50.420 And not just one, but several free speech and internet access groups in Canada have said that were C-10 and C-36 to be reintroduced in some form, they would amount to among the most restrictive free speech rules of any democracy in the world.

00:31:12.680 And so, yes, it's possible that it's going to get to be more and more difficult to talk about.

00:31:18.060 But the good news is that not only did this story that I wrote appear in the Edmonton Sun, it appears in all of the Sun newspapers today across the country.

00:31:27.840 So several hundred thousands, perhaps over a million people will get to see.

00:31:32.560 Well, I'm very glad, and I thank you for doing it, and congratulate you on the scoop.

00:31:36.940 For those who haven't read it yet, may I encourage you to go to the link.

00:31:40.640 It's called Liberals to Make Immigration to Canada Much Easier, and Lauren Gunter broke the news in the Edmonton Sun and, as we just heard, across the Post Media Network.

00:31:50.200 Thanks, my friend. Good luck, and keep up the great journalism.

00:31:52.660 Hey, thank you.

00:31:53.480 There you have it, Lauren Gunter. Stay with us, Morhan.

00:32:02.560 Hey, welcome back on my show on Friday.

00:32:10.460 Dan writes,

00:32:12.020 Now the question is, will Canada make a deal with Huawei for the 5G network here?

00:32:16.280 Yeah, well, I mean, as you no doubt saw, after we finished our show, the two Michaels were indeed released,

00:32:23.400 and Trudeau jetted to be there when they landed, and he had a carefully posed photo op.

00:32:28.440 He rolled up his sleeves, and he was there for the photo op.

00:32:32.040 The man who did so little for these two men over the last thousand days, he was there to take all the credit.

00:32:36.880 And really, what did they know differently?

00:32:38.060 They didn't know who did nothing for them and who did something for them.

00:32:43.900 Now that our hostages are out, we should be unraveling, unhooking, disconnecting from China. 0.99

00:32:50.200 The 100,000 sons and daughters of Chinese Communist Party officials who go to school in Canada should be sent home. 0.94

00:32:57.160 Chinese scholars who are really here as industrial spies should be sent home. 0.99

00:33:01.020 I think we should slowly withdraw our own diplomats from various consulates around China,

00:33:07.400 turn off the taps, and just disconnect.

00:33:10.180 Obviously, Huawei should be banned.

00:33:13.940 Medicine Lion writes,

00:33:15.220 I am double-vaxxed.

00:33:16.340 If I enter an establishment and I ask about my status, I turn around and walk out the door.

00:33:20.440 Will not indulge in this brand of privilege.

00:33:22.280 I will be watching for the we-won't-ask businesses.

00:33:24.420 I'm glad to hear that.

00:33:26.060 It's going to be tough.

00:33:26.940 I mean, for example, if you can, in Ontario, eat on a patio but not inside, that might be nice for the summer.

00:33:33.360 But how does that work in the winter?

00:33:36.040 I don't know.

00:33:36.480 I'm worried that there will be a snobbery, sort of like any exclusive loyalty card.

00:33:41.300 I mean, I see it in, we see it everywhere.

00:33:43.500 I mean, I'm an insider, you're an outsider.

00:33:47.220 Will the 50, 60, 70% of Canadians who are vaxxed, will they look down their noses at the un-vaxxed? 0.76

00:33:53.440 Will they say, well, I did it, so should you?

00:33:55.520 I really think that the mask conditioning was training for the vax conditioning.

00:34:00.580 And a lot of people will lord it over others and use it to scold others.

00:34:04.660 Ken writes, it shouldn't be up to businesses to enforce illegal vaccine passports and mandates.

00:34:10.880 Yeah, well, it's the government basically passing the worst of the work onto the private sector, isn't it?

00:34:15.380 Make them informants and scolds and snitches.

00:34:21.940 Folks, I want to do something a little different today.

00:34:23.760 Normally I'd say goodbye now, but we have so much great work out there on video.

00:34:28.460 We have more reporters than ever.

00:34:29.740 So instead of saying goodbye now, which I normally do after reading letters,

00:34:32.500 going forward, starting now, I want to pick, almost at random,

00:34:37.180 a video from the Rebel News Network that you may not have come across.

00:34:41.940 And I want to end the show every day by selecting such a video

00:34:45.680 and just tacking it on to the end.

00:34:47.860 So we'll have my monologue every day.

00:34:49.560 We'll have the guest interview.

00:34:50.940 We'll read the letters.

00:34:52.780 And instead of saying goodbye, we'll say goodbye but throw to a video.

00:34:56.700 You don't have to watch it if you don't want to.

00:34:57.860 Maybe you've seen it already.

00:34:59.440 But every day we're going to do it.

00:35:00.460 And today we've got a video by Avi on Black Lives Matter,

00:35:05.140 a Black Lives Matter protester who was mad at the Australian freedom protesters.

00:35:10.480 So I thought it was an interesting video.

00:35:12.300 So I'll say goodbye to you now and I'll leave you with Avi Yamini on the streets of Melbourne.

00:35:16.300 See you later.

00:35:16.660 So you're an Indigenous man?

00:35:24.840 Yeah, born and bred.

00:35:26.060 So what you're saying is Black Lives Matter can protest because that protest matters and this one can't?

00:35:31.440 I'll give you a simple reason why this is Aboriginal land, all right?

00:35:33.840 The country itself, it's all of our land.

00:35:36.620 It's not just one of us, it's all of us.

00:35:38.180 It doesn't matter if you're black, white, Asian.

00:35:40.480 We're all Australian, you know?

00:35:41.540 I don't know why the government's trying to push us back, man.

00:35:47.680 It's like they've deployed the military on us.

00:35:51.480 Where was this when Black Lives Matter was protesting?

00:35:54.820 What about all the climate-fighting protests?

00:35:58.540 But when you protest against the harsh government restrictions, it's war. 0.99

00:36:03.780 I don't think you're a bunch of wankers. 0.99

00:36:05.780 Why me? 0.99

00:36:06.420 I'm here to report.

00:36:08.880 Did you feel this way about Black Lives Matter?

00:36:12.460 Black Lives Matter?

00:36:13.840 Did you have a problem?

00:36:15.700 COVID-19 wasn't going to stop this anti-racism rally.

00:36:21.460 They were marching during COVID.

00:36:24.980 Did you have a problem with that? 0.98

00:36:26.300 Were they wankers? 1.00

00:36:27.560 If I get sick and die, I get sick and die. 1.00

00:36:29.600 Senor or lady, you've got to leave the world. 1.00

00:36:31.540 COVID-19 wasn't their main concern.

00:36:34.080 I did weigh that up.

00:36:34.720 This is a much bigger problem than a few hundred people dying from coronavirus.

00:36:39.140 This has been going for 250 years.

00:36:40.580 Impression.

00:36:43.680 We weren't putting our people, endangering people's lives. 1.00

00:36:46.920 I wasn't at the other protesters because I thought a bit of stupidity there, 0.99

00:36:50.640 but this one, I support it. 0.99

00:36:52.620 Because workers, they've got to feed their family. 1.00

00:36:55.380 Tradies' lives, they're bloody essential to us in this world. 1.00

00:36:59.120 Without them, we wouldn't have these buildings,

00:37:00.580 wouldn't have these roads,

00:37:01.840 wouldn't even have our own houses, I reckon.

00:37:03.800 Guys, your premier has said today that violence will not beat the virus.

00:37:08.820 What are you doing?

00:37:10.000 We're not here for violence.

00:37:11.860 No violence.

00:37:13.100 Why do you think that they're deploying armoured vehicles

00:37:15.520 and counter-terrorism units against peaceful protesters just marching now,

00:37:22.120 but last year at Black Lives Matter,

00:37:23.660 they didn't even bother stepping in?

00:37:25.380 I think because it's a social thing.

00:37:29.700 Because we're standing up and saying our word against them,

00:37:32.900 we're the rioters.

00:37:34.440 We're the evil ones on this one.

00:37:36.980 This is a diverse group.

00:37:38.500 I mean, if they're really about diversity, here you are.

00:37:41.600 Yes, they're more diverse.

00:37:43.560 You know what I mean?

00:37:44.260 It's just they're reaching and reaching,

00:37:45.780 and they're running out of ideas.

00:37:46.860 I don't even know who they are.

00:37:48.160 They're not from our industry.

00:37:49.440 I've called professional protesters.

00:37:51.220 I've been told there's been Nazi groups,

00:37:53.540 extreme right-wing groups, all sorts of groups there.

00:37:55.980 How do you feel about the union bosses

00:37:58.400 claiming that there are no union members?

00:38:00.880 I think they've kind of shifted yesterday since Rebel News exposed them.

00:38:04.380 He's got no idea, mate.

00:38:05.080 He's got no idea.

00:38:06.140 It seemed like some of the people guarding the CFMEU office,

00:38:10.000 they didn't seem like members. 0.99

00:38:11.100 They weren't fucking union members, mate. 0.97

00:38:13.120 You'd like to know who they really are, eh? 1.00

00:38:14.740 What is he doing up in there with our fucking Jews? 1.00

00:38:17.980 With what? 1.00

00:38:18.620 With our Jews, our fucking weekly page. 1.00

00:38:20.560 Oh, yeah. 1.00

00:38:20.980 I thought you were talking about my kind of Jew,

00:38:23.940 and we were going to have a problem.

00:38:25.420 Shut every corona restriction and mandate down.

00:38:28.920 Return to normal immediately.

00:38:30.880 That's it.

00:38:31.760 On the first day of the two-week shutdown

00:38:34.340 of the construction industry,

00:38:36.420 there was the biggest earthquake we've had since 1966.

00:38:40.520 Do you reckon that's sort of a sign?

00:38:41.920 The universe, the powers are trying to say something.

00:38:45.140 Well, a volcano erupts and then an earthquake in Australia

00:38:47.600 over 50 years.

00:38:49.500 It's got to be something, doesn't it?

00:38:50.980 It could be climate change.

00:38:52.280 Victoria needs help. 0.99

00:38:54.340 We're Scott Morrison and we need help.

00:38:56.300 ScoMo's actually just landed in America.
