Summary

Donald Trump's idea about making Canada the 51st state is a long-running joke, but what if it's not a joke? What if Trump is actually serious about implementing Manifest Destiny 2.0? Or maybe this hostile takeover concept is just a negotiating tactic plucked right out of the art of the deal?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 You're listening to a release podcast.
00:00:14.760 Shame on you, you sensorious thug.
00:00:21.160 Donald Trump's idea about annexing Canada just won't go away.
00:00:34.200 Who could have imagined that this off-the-cuff remark about making Canada the 51st state would turn into such a long-running joke?
00:00:44.780 Then again, what if it's not a joke?
00:00:46.900 What if Trump is actually serious about implementing Manifest Destiny 2.0?
00:00:54.260 Or maybe this hostile takeover concept is just a negotiating tactic plucked right out of the art of the deal.
00:01:03.160 Maybe this is a hollow threat that will actually generate tangible results.
00:01:07.980 Hey, Donald Trump isn't even in the White House yet, and already some provinces are getting more serious about border security.
00:01:17.600 What does that tell you?
00:01:19.300 Regardless, I'm going to use this space to make a plea to the president-elect, which is to say,
00:01:25.680 Mr. Trump, if you are indeed serious about absorbing Canada into the Union, please, please reconsider.
00:01:33.540 Look, I'm a proud Canadian and all that jazz, but as the Carnies say down on the Midway,
00:01:40.640 let's not kid the kidders, shall we?
00:01:44.400 Which is to say, when Canada is compared to the USA, well, we kind of suck, don't we?
00:01:52.140 Now, without further ado, here are the reasons why, I think, from an American perspective at least,
00:02:00.020 Canada really isn't such a great prize.
00:02:04.720 Number one, Canadian television.
00:02:08.640 Canadian TV programs, especially sitcoms and game shows, are appalling.
00:02:14.640 Mr. Trump, do you have any idea what you will inherit, CanCon-wise, should Canada become the 51st state?
00:02:23.840 Well, here's a taste, and really, all you need to know about the cosmic awfulness of this Canuck sitcom
00:02:31.340 can be found right in the opening credits.
00:02:34.960 I don't get it.
00:03:04.080 How does slamming a door on someone cause a package to get crushed?
00:03:10.000 But to be fair, the debate still lingers.
00:03:13.620 Is the trouble with Tracy simply bad, or is it so bad that it's actually good?
00:03:21.940 One thing that is definitely not up for debate, the trouble with Tracy, is definitely not funny.
00:03:29.160 And that's kind of problematic, wouldn't you say, given that the trouble with Tracy is presented as comedy.
00:03:38.280 Maybe we need to reboot it.
00:03:40.920 How does the trouble with Trudeau sound?
00:03:44.160 Hey, we don't even need to hire scriptwriters for that show.
00:03:47.660 As for game shows, the U.S. has given us Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Deal or No Deal, what have we produced?
00:03:57.760 How about game shows that are not merely cheesy, but downright creepy?
00:04:04.300 Case in point, Just Like Mom, hosted by Fergie Oliver, let's put it this way.
00:04:11.300 I get the feeling that Just Like Mom was must-watch TV on Epstein Island.
00:04:18.260 Oh, Leanne, I was almost going to call you Laurie.
00:04:22.240 How could I miss?
00:04:23.240 Oh, it's very easy.
00:04:24.200 You're both very pretty.
00:04:25.540 You have green eyes.
00:04:27.240 Blue.
00:04:27.680 Are they?
00:04:28.080 They're not blue.
00:04:29.400 Now, don't tell me that.
00:04:30.680 Look at me a little closer.
00:04:33.680 They're green.
00:04:36.560 I fool you.
00:04:38.340 I fool you.
00:04:40.440 Do you talk about getting married and having a family and things like that?
00:04:44.720 No.
00:04:45.400 You don't?
00:04:46.800 What do you do?
00:04:47.760 When you're 11 years old for a date, where do you go?
00:04:50.940 What are some things you do?
00:04:52.760 You just walk home from school with each other.
00:04:54.340 And you walk home from school with each other.
00:04:57.160 Okay, what category?
00:04:58.240 Do you hand out kisses, Jennifer?
00:05:04.800 You look like a young lady who likes to give lots of hugs and kisses out, do you?
00:05:09.920 Hey?
00:05:11.700 Hey?
00:05:14.780 Not really.
00:05:15.560 Not really.
00:05:16.520 Can I have a hug and a kiss?
00:05:23.260 I can't have one?
00:05:24.600 Mm-mm.
00:05:25.300 Even if I say and whisper in your ear that, Allison, you're gonna win the show?
00:05:30.560 I still can't have a hug and a kiss?
00:05:34.120 Uh-uh.
00:05:35.080 Well, I guess you can't win the show then, if I don't get a hug and a kiss.
00:05:39.600 Dirty old man.
00:05:40.380 Yeah.
00:05:41.000 You hear that?
00:05:42.240 Dirty old man.
00:05:43.120 Yeah.
00:05:43.780 You hear that?
00:05:45.540 That's a good answer.
00:05:46.700 Dirty old man.
00:05:47.700 Oh, you...
00:05:48.860 Dirty old man.
00:05:50.340 Stephanie, which category for you?
00:05:52.160 Yikes.
00:05:53.080 By the way, that female co-host nervously giggling at the end of the clip.
00:05:58.160 Well, that was Fergie's wife at the time.
00:06:00.480 Adding a whole new dimension of creepiness to this former sportscaster best known for his catchphrase,
00:06:09.360 How about those Blue Jays?
00:06:12.400 Um, hey, Fergie, how about those Criminal Code of Canada provisions?
00:06:16.640 You know, the ones about harassing minors.
00:06:19.780 Also, Mr. Trump, Canadian game shows are Bush League.
00:06:24.060 American game shows give away cars.
00:06:27.720 Canadian game shows give away car polish.
00:06:33.060 Number two, sports.
00:06:34.680 Mr. Trump, as the former owner of the New Jersey Generals of the now-defunct United States Football League,
00:06:42.620 trust me, you will not like Canadian football.
00:06:46.700 Do you know that in the Canadian Football League, teams only get three downs, not four?
00:06:51.800 What a rip!
00:06:53.080 And because we have this thing for rewarding failure in Canada,
00:06:57.560 which kind of explains why we continue to fund the CBC to the tune of some $1.4 billion in taxpayer dollars every year,
00:07:07.600 a CFL team can be awarded a single point for a missed field goal.
00:07:13.040 No, seriously.
00:07:15.140 There's also an extra player on a CFL team.
00:07:18.920 12 are on the field as opposed to 11.
00:07:21.980 I think this has something to do with make-work schemes.
00:07:25.600 We're really good at make-work projects here in Canada.
00:07:29.340 Did I mention the CBC?
00:07:31.640 There's a lot of other oddball stuff you won't like in our little league of our own.
00:07:36.680 Like, for the longest time, there were actually two teams in the CFL called the Rough Riders, I swear.
00:07:45.860 Just imagine 23% of the teams in a nine-team league sported the same nickname.
00:07:52.660 I guess we're not very creative up here.
00:07:56.740 Oh, speaking of nicknames, one of the most iconic CFL teams of all time, the Edmonton Eskimos,
00:08:02.780 well, they don't even exist anymore.
00:08:05.500 Wokeism in Canada is alive and well, and this team is now called the Elks,
00:08:10.960 sporting a logo that looks like it was drawn by a toddler using an Etch-a-Sketch.
00:08:16.860 And speaking of sports, Mr. Trump, come on, let's be fair here.
00:08:21.160 America has already assumed ownership of the best game you can name.
00:08:25.780 The last time a Canadian NHL team won Lord Stanley's shaving mug was when Kim Campbell was the prime minister.
00:08:34.360 Google it.
00:08:35.060 Meanwhile, earlier this month, Team USA won the World Junior Hockey Championship again.
00:08:43.260 Hey, we surrender already.
00:08:45.240 Number three, there are so many bat-shite crazy laws in Canada.
00:08:51.280 Do you know, Mr. Trump, it's illegal to paint a ladder in Alberta?
00:08:55.720 In Toronto, it's illegal for homeowners to have more than two garage sales per year.
00:09:02.080 Colored margarine is illegal in Quebec.
00:09:05.680 And in Pinocchio, Alberta, it is illegal to build a mud hut with a straw roof.
00:09:10.500 Yeah, you know, just in case Tarzan ever considers moving to Pinocchio.
00:09:16.760 Mr. Trump, do you really want to spend your second mandate unraveling such nonsense?
00:09:23.860 Number four, the metric system.
00:09:26.960 Mr. President, I have a hunch when you cast a glance over the border,
00:09:30.780 you just can't believe how low the price at the pump is.
00:09:35.460 I mean, the current average price for gas in America is north of three bucks, and that's in U.S. currency.
00:09:42.660 Today in the GTA, gas is just a buck fifty five.
00:09:47.680 Canadian funds.
00:09:49.040 Ah, but as the astute businessman you are, Mr. Trump, you know how the old saying goes.
00:09:53.980 Always read the fine print, that's because we sell gas by the liter, not by the gallon.
00:10:01.200 So you're actually paying more for your petrol here, way, way more.
00:10:06.300 Oh, and by the way, it's illegal in Canada for a gas station to sell gas by the gallon.
00:10:12.440 Back in the early 80s, Justin Trudeau's alleged father, Pierre,
00:10:15.960 actually ordered the pumps of a Toronto gas station to be sealed due to this affront to the globalist measurement system.
00:10:25.440 Oh, and it's not just liters, of course.
00:10:27.900 When the weather forecaster says it's 25 degrees, that means getting out the sunscreen, not donning a parka.
00:10:35.480 Then there's this business of centimeters and kilograms and so on.
00:10:39.980 Do you really want to burn out the battery on your calculator doing all the conversion math?
00:10:45.960 Oh, and get this, we don't measure tire pressure in pounds per square inch here.
00:10:51.440 Oh, no, it's kilopascals.
00:10:54.520 That's right, kilopascals.
00:10:56.920 What is a kilopascal?
00:10:59.320 Can anyone even spell kilopascal?
00:11:02.740 Number five, milk.
00:11:05.840 You know what else you're not going to like about Canada, Mr. Trump?
00:11:09.340 We sell milk in plastic bags here.
00:11:13.120 It's despicable.
00:11:14.180 I've long railed against the practice of milk being sold in plastic bags.
00:11:19.680 The inherent problem is this.
00:11:22.180 The formless, soft plastic bag stands taller than the rigid, hard plastic jug housing the plastic bag.
00:11:32.140 This leads to pouring problems.
00:11:36.480 Check out the video evidence.
00:11:37.960 Let's take a look, shall we?
00:11:39.520 You see?
00:11:47.920 You're going to need a bigger boat.
00:11:49.760 You know, it's said that one should not cry over spilt milk, but believe me, inside, I'm weeping.
00:11:57.400 One more note about milk.
00:11:58.980 What you call whole milk in the U.S., we call homo milk here.
00:12:05.480 That's right, homo milk.
00:12:07.780 Homo milk in plastic bags.
00:12:10.740 Ew, how unsettling is that?
00:12:14.480 Number six, the sheer size of the Great White North.
00:12:18.220 Perhaps there's no such thing as owning too much real estate.
00:12:24.220 But, Mr. Trump, really, how can the proposed 51st state be bigger than all the existing 50 states combined?
00:12:34.460 That's a joke.
00:12:35.740 That's nonsensical.
00:12:37.000 Well, in fact, it reminds me of this SCTV sketch.
00:12:46.860 Hello, people.
00:12:48.460 Welcome to What Fits Into Russia.
00:12:50.620 Yesterday, the last country we put in place was Angola.
00:12:54.080 And look, with these other countries, not even half-filling Mother Russia because of its enormous size.
00:13:00.300 And look at the rest of the world.
00:13:01.840 He's almost gone.
00:13:03.060 So today, let's put the so-called giant country of Argentina into place.
00:13:12.860 Look!
00:13:15.620 It looks like tiny sausage against the vast, colossal size of Mother Russia.
00:13:21.420 Finally, number seven, La Belle Provence.
00:13:25.880 Speaking of Canadian real estate, Mr. Trump,
00:13:28.560 do you know that the biggest provincial territory in your proposed 51st state
00:13:34.200 is a massive chunk of distinct society called Quebec?
00:13:39.360 Now, when it comes to Quebec, let me present the issue in a way that will make sense to Americans,
00:13:47.200 which is to say my absolute favorite casino in Nevada is the Paris Las Vegas.
00:13:53.980 Hey, at the Paris Las Vegas, we're talking Parisian architecture, Parisian food, Parisian fashion.
00:14:03.560 And best of all, no Parisians!
00:14:06.480 Translation, when you take ownership of Canada, that package includes Quebec.
00:14:14.120 So you're going to get French people.
00:14:17.140 Millions and millions of French people.
00:14:20.500 You know what I'm saying?
00:14:23.580 Bottom line, there you have it, Mr. Trump.
00:14:25.960 The case against annexing Canada.
00:14:29.340 Mr. President, you want to take over a country, no muss, no fuss?
00:14:34.600 Then cast your eyes southward to Costa Rica.
00:14:39.280 This tropical paradise does not have an army, nor an air force, nor a navy.
00:14:47.200 I mean, how easy can it get?
00:14:50.500 Much like Jason Voorhees, the Goldie Mask-clad knifeman of Friday the 13th fame,
00:15:04.500 just when you think you've heard the last of Cary Lemieux,
00:15:08.120 well, he comes bouncing back into the news cycle.
00:15:12.400 Now, Lemieux emerged as the most infamous shop teacher in the world back in September 2022
00:15:18.320 when he showed up to class in such an outlandish get-up,
00:15:22.820 it would have made a drag queen blush.
00:15:26.040 His costume included a long blonde wig, skin-tight bicycle shorts,
00:15:31.080 a clinging white top, and, gee, I'm forgetting something.
00:15:34.980 Oh, yeah!
00:15:35.740 Those giant fake Z-cup boobs.
00:15:38.320 Incredibly, Lemieux was also tolerated and practically celebrated as an example of diversity
00:15:46.680 by the woke-joke educrats who comprise the Halton District School Board.
00:15:53.280 As far as the so-called conservative education minister of the day, Stephen Lecce,
00:15:59.080 well, the cowardly Lecce proved to be about as useful as tits on a bull, as the saying goes.
00:16:06.720 Alas, the beginning of the end regarding Lemieux's cosplay saga
00:16:11.080 had very much to do with Rebel News exposing his fraudulent behavior.
00:16:18.740 You see, one of the few on-the-record interviews Lemieux ever offered
00:16:23.240 was to the New York Post.
00:16:25.940 And what an interview!
00:16:28.020 Lemieux claimed that those Z-cup memory glands weren't props,
00:16:33.260 but rather the result of a very rare medical condition.
00:16:37.720 They were real!
00:16:38.540 And he was completely powerless to do anything about this alleged disability.
00:16:44.160 No, seriously, Frankenboob was playing the handicap card.
00:16:48.780 Well, that worked just fine and dandy, at least with the dunces running the education system
00:16:55.660 in Ontario, until we bumped into Lemieux at a Burlington shopping mall in April 2023.
00:17:03.220 Do you remember this encounter for the ages?
00:17:08.480 Mrs. Lelew, where are your breasts?
00:17:10.980 I thought your breasts were real.
00:17:13.900 Where are your breasts?
00:17:15.360 Why are you dressing inappropriately in front of children?
00:17:19.500 Now, after this expose, Lemieux's House of Cards came tumbling down.
00:17:24.540 Eventually, he parted ways with the Halton District School Board.
00:17:28.740 But was he terminated, or did he resign?
00:17:32.600 We have no idea for sure.
00:17:35.280 Even though the HDSB has a media relations department,
00:17:39.200 they never communicate with the media.
00:17:41.040 Even though this school board is a taxpayer-funded entity
00:17:45.180 that should be beholden to transparency.
00:17:49.300 Likewise, we've sent numerous emails to Lemieux to get his side of the story,
00:17:54.220 but he has never accepted our offers.
00:17:58.220 Fast forward to September 2023,
00:18:02.140 and Lemieux suddenly re-emerges at a new school
00:18:06.320 in a different school board district,
00:18:09.140 namely the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board.
00:18:13.180 But this time, the he who presented as a she
00:18:17.100 was back to being a he again.
00:18:20.140 Gone were the fake breasts and the stripper attire.
00:18:23.760 Lemieux was literally a new man,
00:18:25.920 disposing of those Zed Cups and donning male haberdashery.
00:18:30.100 Now, for more than a year,
00:18:32.320 the Lemieux saga went silent.
00:18:35.400 But then, a few months ago,
00:18:37.920 Lemieux re-emerged in full drag mode.
00:18:41.880 We came across these photos of Lemieux
00:18:44.140 posted on an online dating site.
00:18:47.800 As you can see, it's the female version of Lemieux.
00:18:51.420 And check out this recent shot of Lemieux
00:18:54.160 shopping in Niagara Falls,
00:18:56.120 again, in full drag queen regalia.
00:19:00.620 Hey, what someone does in their personal time
00:19:04.020 is their business,
00:19:05.820 which is to say, folks,
00:19:07.360 I love Halloween too,
00:19:09.380 but I only celebrate it once a year.
00:19:11.800 Yet the question arises,
00:19:14.660 is Lemieux wearing this getup in class again?
00:19:18.800 Now, you'd think that would be
00:19:19.700 a very easy query to answer.
00:19:21.760 It's either yes or no.
00:19:23.000 But the useless principal
00:19:25.340 at Nora Francis Henderson Secondary School
00:19:28.440 in Hamilton, Tom Fisher,
00:19:30.640 and the spokesthingies at the school board
00:19:33.100 won't even acknowledge our queries.
00:19:36.300 We have phoned, we have emailed,
00:19:38.520 we've even paid personal visits.
00:19:40.920 And mum's the word, no pun intended.
00:19:43.860 That's crazy.
00:19:45.680 This is a fair question.
00:19:47.640 This is an important question.
00:19:49.480 So why, oh, why the lack of transparency?
00:19:53.720 But a few days ago,
00:19:55.220 a former friend of Lemieux
00:19:56.740 reached out to Rebel News.
00:19:59.240 This was indeed a major development
00:20:01.500 given that all during the Lemieux saga,
00:20:04.820 a missing piece of the puzzle
00:20:06.660 was that nobody in the media
00:20:09.280 was ever able to track down
00:20:11.640 a friend or family member
00:20:13.580 of this individual until now.
00:20:16.220 So here's the skinny.
00:20:18.400 Sarah, not her real name,
00:20:20.580 is a gender studies graduate.
00:20:23.500 She can be seen in this photo with Lemieux,
00:20:26.160 which was taken by a passerby
00:20:28.200 and shared online.
00:20:30.520 Sarah did not want to come on camera,
00:20:33.060 but she consented to an audio interview.
00:20:36.940 We're going to play excerpts
00:20:38.580 of that interview.
00:20:39.640 And what she has to say about Lemieux
00:20:42.680 is nothing short of fascinating.
00:20:46.560 For starters,
00:20:48.060 Sarah initially made contact with Lemieux
00:20:50.560 on a website called Bumble BFF.
00:20:55.060 I came across the profile of Kayla Lemieux.
00:21:00.620 And I thought that it was like a parody account,
00:21:05.700 like a satire account, right?
00:21:07.320 But I tried to rate on them anyway.
00:21:12.140 And I started talking to this person
00:21:15.720 who was supposedly Kayla Lemieux.
00:21:19.940 And the more I started talking to them,
00:21:22.920 the more I realized that it was the real person, right?
00:21:27.040 And, you know, they, like,
00:21:32.860 she honestly seemed really nice.
00:21:36.700 Like a really nice person.
00:21:38.460 And we hung out in real life a few times.
00:21:43.420 And, you know, it was kind of awkward
00:21:46.700 because, like, pictures were taken of me
00:21:50.520 with Lemieux that were, like, sent to the media.
00:21:55.200 So now when you, like, Google Kayla Lemieux,
00:21:59.020 there's, like, a photo of me that comes up,
00:22:01.180 which is, like, pretty awkward.
00:22:03.660 Of course, we can't ignore those elephants in the room,
00:22:07.080 can we?
00:22:07.780 So why, pray tell,
00:22:09.940 was Lemieux wearing those enormous prosthetic breasts,
00:22:13.040 especially if he was legitimately trying
00:22:17.140 to present himself as a bonafide female?
00:22:20.520 What was behind that
00:22:22.020 if he was legitimately trying to become female?
00:22:27.040 Okay, so one of my first questions was,
00:22:32.420 you know, and the thing is,
00:22:33.620 like, I've had, you know,
00:22:36.140 friends who are transgender over the years, right?
00:22:39.900 And, you know, obviously, like,
00:22:44.440 what was going on with the huge prosthetic breasts
00:22:48.640 was, like, very intriguing to me
00:22:54.840 because I couldn't tell if it was,
00:22:57.420 like, some kind of social commentary,
00:23:01.120 like, some kind of social statement.
00:23:02.680 And I couldn't tell if, like,
00:23:07.320 you know, maybe this person was actually,
00:23:10.800 like, far right
00:23:12.900 and they were, you know,
00:23:15.400 doing this to make, like, a social statement
00:23:17.460 about how trans rights have gone too far, right?
00:23:22.800 I also wondered if maybe this person is,
00:23:27.400 you know, a male fetishist
00:23:29.680 and they're just, like, getting off on,
00:23:33.980 you know, wearing, like, fetish gear in public
00:23:38.240 and at a, you know, public school with minors
00:23:41.280 and that sort of thing.
00:23:44.040 But the third hypothesis I had
00:23:47.820 was that maybe this person
00:23:50.520 is going through some kind of, like,
00:23:53.980 identity crisis
00:23:55.040 and maybe they are genuinely transgender
00:23:58.520 but they're doing something
00:24:00.080 to be, like, very provocative about it
00:24:05.800 for some reason I don't really understand.
00:24:12.020 Sarah goes on to say that when Lemieux spoke,
00:24:14.780 he presented himself in a very feminine way
00:24:17.940 which led her to originally believe
00:24:20.920 that perhaps Lemieux was really trying
00:24:24.680 to transition from male to female.
00:24:28.020 Still, why did Lemieux find it necessary
00:24:31.440 to make such a spectacle of himself?
00:24:34.640 At the time,
00:24:35.780 Lemieux was claiming that the breasts were real
00:24:39.700 and that they had gigantomasia
00:24:42.780 which is a condition
00:24:44.940 that causes someone to have enormous breasts
00:24:48.420 and obviously this is not true
00:24:51.400 but I was just kind of, like,
00:24:53.440 accepting the lie
00:24:55.720 to just kind of, like,
00:24:58.660 you know,
00:24:59.360 not cause problems
00:25:01.520 in the friendship
00:25:03.740 or not to be rude
00:25:04.880 or, you know,
00:25:06.100 that sort of thing.
00:25:08.520 Yeah, and, you know,
00:25:10.000 I mean, it's interesting you mention that
00:25:12.380 because one of the few
00:25:13.840 on-the-record interviews it gave,
00:25:16.160 I believe that was with the New York Post,
00:25:18.420 and he made that outrageous claim.
00:25:23.480 Yeah.
00:25:23.800 It was proven false.
00:25:25.920 A lot of observers have said,
00:25:28.120 you know,
00:25:29.120 really isn't that kind of grounds
00:25:30.980 for dismissal with cause
00:25:32.480 because he was basically claiming
00:25:35.880 a medical condition,
00:25:38.060 a disability, if you would.
00:25:39.840 It would be kind of like saying,
00:25:40.840 you know,
00:25:41.020 I need to park in the handicapped spot
00:25:43.280 because, you know,
00:25:44.240 I don't have the full use of my legs
00:25:46.200 and then you find out,
00:25:47.440 you know,
00:25:47.780 the person's jogging on a treadmill.
00:25:50.440 But the,
00:25:51.840 you know,
00:25:52.960 I'm curious
00:25:54.120 how he got away with that.
00:25:57.100 Because it seems that
00:25:59.400 at least the school,
00:26:01.480 the school board,
00:26:02.360 they don't take him to task
00:26:04.020 for, you know,
00:26:05.260 what was obviously a lie.
00:26:08.080 Yeah.
00:26:08.740 So,
00:26:09.320 like,
00:26:10.500 now,
00:26:11.500 in the present year,
00:26:13.120 2024,
00:26:14.160 we're,
00:26:14.440 we're starting to see,
00:26:16.400 like,
00:26:17.020 a major pushback
00:26:18.260 against
00:26:19.040 the trans movement.
00:26:21.420 And,
00:26:22.260 I'm,
00:26:23.600 like,
00:26:24.640 politically,
00:26:25.540 I'm pro-trans
00:26:26.980 to a certain extent.
00:26:28.600 I think that,
00:26:30.480 like,
00:26:30.760 it had,
00:26:31.760 the movement had gone,
00:26:33.080 like,
00:26:33.280 way too far,
00:26:35.080 like,
00:26:35.380 over the last few years.
00:26:37.900 Um,
00:26:38.880 and I think that,
00:26:40.580 like,
00:26:41.820 you know,
00:26:42.400 these,
00:26:42.720 like,
00:26:43.500 institutions
00:26:44.160 and society,
00:26:45.880 like the school board,
00:26:47.040 for example,
00:26:47.580 I think they would have been,
00:26:48.780 like,
00:26:49.500 just too terrified
00:26:50.660 about,
00:26:52.300 you know,
00:26:52.860 getting sued
00:26:53.600 or,
00:26:54.340 like,
00:26:55.460 trans rights activists
00:26:56.640 coming after them
00:26:57.800 if they,
00:26:58.760 you know,
00:27:00.260 did fire this person
00:27:02.080 on the grounds
00:27:02.820 that they were,
00:27:04.480 you know,
00:27:05.720 like,
00:27:07.100 doing what they were doing,
00:27:08.260 right?
00:27:08.680 My take,
00:27:09.260 folks,
00:27:09.500 I believe the fetish
00:27:11.100 slash mental illness argument
00:27:13.000 and given that Lemieux
00:27:14.960 has a job
00:27:15.800 which requires him
00:27:16.860 to be involved
00:27:17.720 with minors,
00:27:19.180 that's downright disturbing.
00:27:20.940 You know,
00:27:21.320 I have a degree
00:27:23.180 in gender studies myself
00:27:25.020 and I,
00:27:25.960 you know,
00:27:26.340 I've studied psychology
00:27:27.600 and I think
00:27:28.140 that was partly
00:27:28.800 what drew me
00:27:30.440 to this person.
00:27:32.800 It was trying
00:27:33.440 to understand them
00:27:35.760 from the perspective
00:27:36.740 of someone
00:27:37.780 who,
00:27:38.560 you know,
00:27:39.620 has a degree
00:27:41.400 in gender studies
00:27:42.440 and who's,
00:27:43.100 you know,
00:27:43.460 studied psychology.
00:27:44.540 I was,
00:27:45.240 like,
00:27:46.100 just very curious
00:27:47.300 about
00:27:48.280 what
00:27:49.880 was going on
00:27:52.180 and,
00:27:53.040 you know,
00:27:54.620 I,
00:27:55.160 like,
00:27:56.480 I think that there is,
00:27:58.040 like,
00:27:58.380 a fetishistic component,
00:28:00.580 but I don't think
00:28:02.340 that's the entirety
00:28:04.420 of it.
00:28:05.040 At this point,
00:28:06.460 I mentioned to Sarah
00:28:07.560 that during the Lemieux
00:28:09.500 odyssey,
00:28:10.920 Rebel News
00:28:11.560 was criticized
00:28:12.580 by some viewers
00:28:13.820 who were absolutely
00:28:15.760 convinced Lemieux
00:28:17.060 was punking
00:28:18.620 the woke school board
00:28:20.120 and that he should
00:28:21.420 be hailed as a hero,
00:28:23.240 not denounced
00:28:24.280 as a villain
00:28:24.900 for doing so.
00:28:26.680 And indeed,
00:28:27.620 folks,
00:28:27.840 that was one
00:28:28.600 of my original theories
00:28:30.120 regarding
00:28:30.920 his unspoken motivation
00:28:33.080 that he was
00:28:34.240 taking the piss
00:28:35.500 out of wokeism.
00:28:37.460 Until that is,
00:28:39.140 a source
00:28:39.700 reached out to me
00:28:40.900 and provided us
00:28:42.700 with this photo.
00:28:44.500 This photograph
00:28:45.120 was allegedly taken
00:28:46.600 before the Lemieux
00:28:48.080 controversy erupted
00:28:49.600 in September 2022.
00:28:52.280 The setting
00:28:52.880 is a Burlington theater
00:28:54.480 and on this day,
00:28:56.720 a private dance recital
00:28:58.160 for girls
00:28:59.120 aged
00:28:59.800 8 to 12
00:29:01.160 was being staged.
00:29:02.500 Only the dancers
00:29:03.820 and their parents
00:29:05.060 and guardians
00:29:05.740 were allowed to attend.
00:29:07.280 It was closed
00:29:07.780 to the public.
00:29:08.860 But somehow,
00:29:10.000 during intermission,
00:29:11.780 Lemieux sneaked in
00:29:13.140 and sat
00:29:14.280 in the very first row.
00:29:16.360 A young dancer
00:29:17.500 came on to perform
00:29:18.820 and as you can
00:29:20.520 well imagine,
00:29:21.620 several of the mothers
00:29:22.560 noticed Lemieux.
00:29:23.620 I mean,
00:29:23.980 how can you not
00:29:25.300 notice him?
00:29:26.780 And after the dance
00:29:28.180 number was over,
00:29:28.980 I was told
00:29:30.380 that the mothers
00:29:31.080 went down
00:29:31.900 to where Lemieux
00:29:32.620 was seated
00:29:33.200 and they asked him
00:29:35.040 if he had a child
00:29:36.360 at the event.
00:29:38.240 Lemieux said
00:29:38.720 he did not,
00:29:39.800 so the mothers
00:29:40.520 politely asked
00:29:41.600 Lemieux to leave
00:29:42.420 and he did so.
00:29:44.540 But my source
00:29:46.020 informed me
00:29:47.180 that when Lemieux
00:29:48.380 was confronted,
00:29:49.400 it was noticeable
00:29:51.420 that he was,
00:29:53.320 how shall I say
00:29:54.180 this politely,
00:29:55.540 in a state
00:29:56.820 of male arousal,
00:29:59.480 does this not
00:30:00.800 give you the creeps?
00:30:02.520 It's downright
00:30:03.720 gasp-inducing
00:30:04.900 for me, folks.
00:30:06.340 But the point is,
00:30:08.400 does this incident
00:30:09.640 sound like it is
00:30:11.580 part and parcel
00:30:12.720 of a prank?
00:30:14.480 I don't think so.
00:30:16.320 In any event,
00:30:17.220 I asked Sarah
00:30:18.320 what Lemieux
00:30:19.080 was like
00:30:19.740 as a person.
00:30:20.980 When they were
00:30:22.900 like living
00:30:24.500 as a woman,
00:30:25.800 they were
00:30:27.360 like,
00:30:29.060 like quite polite
00:30:30.400 and nice
00:30:31.240 and cheerful.
00:30:33.400 They would
00:30:35.180 talk from
00:30:36.180 the perspective
00:30:37.000 as though
00:30:37.900 they were
00:30:38.540 a biological
00:30:39.960 woman,
00:30:40.940 for example.
00:30:41.580 so even
00:30:42.880 though this
00:30:44.020 person,
00:30:44.880 Kayla Lemieux,
00:30:45.800 is six foot
00:30:47.320 two,
00:30:48.420 they would
00:30:48.920 mention how
00:30:49.760 they would
00:30:50.640 feel unsafe
00:30:51.640 at night
00:30:52.320 and how it
00:30:52.940 should be
00:30:53.280 legal for
00:30:53.920 women to
00:30:54.460 carry pepper
00:30:55.140 spray in
00:30:56.960 case someone
00:30:57.840 tries to
00:30:59.300 attack them.
00:31:01.660 And, you
00:31:02.120 know, they
00:31:02.400 would talk
00:31:02.880 about, like,
00:31:04.500 you know,
00:31:04.920 how, like,
00:31:05.920 dating is hard
00:31:06.980 and, you
00:31:07.580 know, you
00:31:07.880 get your
00:31:08.920 feelings hurt
00:31:09.840 because all
00:31:10.400 men care about
00:31:11.320 it is sex
00:31:12.080 and, like,
00:31:13.400 um, like,
00:31:15.320 they would
00:31:15.600 talk from
00:31:16.800 the perspective
00:31:18.500 that sounded
00:31:19.180 like the
00:31:22.140 perspective of
00:31:23.040 a normal
00:31:23.980 real woman,
00:31:25.680 if that makes
00:31:26.320 sense.
00:31:27.120 Yeah, Lemieux
00:31:27.980 was simply
00:31:28.600 presenting himself
00:31:29.700 as just one
00:31:30.580 of the gals,
00:31:31.280 really.
00:31:32.400 And he even
00:31:33.460 claimed that
00:31:34.560 he had bottom
00:31:35.660 surgery, which
00:31:36.660 is to say that
00:31:37.680 his penis had
00:31:38.700 been surgically
00:31:40.440 sliced and
00:31:41.220 diced to
00:31:41.880 kind of
00:31:42.520 look like
00:31:43.060 a vagina
00:31:43.640 now.
00:31:45.000 But get
00:31:45.420 this, when
00:31:46.500 Lemieux
00:31:46.940 eventually
00:31:47.940 reverted to
00:31:48.860 being male
00:31:49.460 again, not
00:31:51.100 only did
00:31:51.600 those boobs
00:31:52.580 come off,
00:31:53.920 but so
00:31:54.860 did the
00:31:55.560 kid gloves,
00:31:56.520 which is to
00:31:57.260 say, in
00:31:57.980 full male
00:31:58.740 mode, a
00:32:00.080 very different
00:32:01.320 persona
00:32:02.020 emerged.
00:32:03.380 Suddenly,
00:32:04.260 Lemieux was
00:32:04.960 no longer
00:32:05.760 very ladylike
00:32:07.300 in his
00:32:08.000 mannerisms.
00:32:09.640 Indeed, he
00:32:10.140 was vulgar,
00:32:11.280 crude, and
00:32:12.180 belligerent.
00:32:13.080 With Lemieux,
00:32:14.620 I honestly
00:32:16.900 got the
00:32:17.420 sense that
00:32:18.260 a lot of
00:32:19.380 what they
00:32:19.680 were saying
00:32:20.340 while they
00:32:20.880 were trans
00:32:22.260 was not
00:32:22.820 true,
00:32:23.980 because they
00:32:24.760 would tell
00:32:25.220 me that
00:32:26.040 they, like,
00:32:27.360 so number
00:32:27.680 one, they
00:32:28.160 had told
00:32:28.760 the news
00:32:29.280 media initially
00:32:31.000 that they
00:32:31.460 were intersex,
00:32:33.260 and then
00:32:33.880 when you
00:32:34.720 told me
00:32:35.660 that they
00:32:37.820 had had
00:32:38.640 their male
00:32:40.000 genitalia
00:32:41.020 removed,
00:32:42.460 like sex
00:32:43.060 reassignment
00:32:43.680 surgery, and
00:32:45.860 they claimed
00:32:47.840 that when
00:32:48.580 they started
00:32:49.120 taking hormones,
00:32:50.820 their breasts
00:32:51.540 became very
00:32:53.400 large, and
00:32:55.000 they developed
00:32:58.280 gigantomasia.
00:33:00.000 Yes.
00:33:00.960 But then,
00:33:02.620 when Kayla
00:33:03.580 Lemieux
00:33:04.140 reverted to
00:33:06.720 being a
00:33:07.640 man, it
00:33:08.880 was suddenly
00:33:09.520 like, you
00:33:11.940 know, oh
00:33:12.300 yeah, like
00:33:12.820 the breasts
00:33:13.280 were never
00:33:13.740 real, you
00:33:15.880 know, I
00:33:16.140 f***ed a
00:33:16.620 woman I
00:33:17.060 met at a
00:33:17.520 bar the
00:33:17.960 other night,
00:33:19.060 so clearly
00:33:19.540 they had
00:33:20.040 had their
00:33:21.000 penis the
00:33:22.100 entire time,
00:33:23.080 but when
00:33:23.460 they reverted
00:33:24.080 to being a
00:33:24.840 man, they
00:33:27.060 were basically
00:33:27.680 like, you
00:33:29.180 know, like,
00:33:29.780 oh, ha-ha,
00:33:30.520 like, you
00:33:30.820 believe that?
00:33:31.780 Like, no,
00:33:32.440 like, they
00:33:32.700 were never,
00:33:33.780 the breasts
00:33:34.140 were never
00:33:34.480 real, I
00:33:35.120 never had my
00:33:35.860 penis removed,
00:33:36.840 like, you
00:33:37.880 know, and
00:33:38.380 of course I
00:33:38.880 never believed
00:33:39.960 it, but I
00:33:40.780 was kind of
00:33:41.300 like, well,
00:33:43.280 you know,
00:33:44.160 we're supposed
00:33:44.580 to be friends
00:33:45.200 and you were
00:33:45.600 lying to me.
00:33:46.680 I will say
00:33:47.340 that's kind of
00:33:47.940 funny, is that
00:33:48.780 while Lemieux
00:33:49.560 was presenting
00:33:50.280 as a woman,
00:33:51.120 she would
00:33:51.440 complain that
00:33:52.400 quote-unquote
00:33:53.420 creepy guys
00:33:54.560 had been
00:33:55.040 hitting on
00:33:55.640 her, which
00:33:59.480 is, it's
00:34:00.600 funny for
00:34:01.600 them to be
00:34:02.560 accusing other
00:34:03.600 people of
00:34:04.700 being creepy,
00:34:05.840 you know, it's
00:34:06.620 kind of funny,
00:34:08.060 right?
00:34:08.320 Well, fancy
00:34:09.160 that.
00:34:10.320 Meanwhile, what
00:34:11.540 did Lemieux
00:34:12.140 think about
00:34:12.980 the worldwide
00:34:14.080 media attention
00:34:15.080 he was
00:34:16.000 generating?
00:34:17.260 Well, like
00:34:18.620 all things
00:34:19.160 Lemieux, folks,
00:34:20.400 it's complicated.
00:34:21.300 He more or
00:34:22.320 less was
00:34:22.820 like, kind
00:34:23.620 of like,
00:34:25.360 acting like a
00:34:26.140 victim amidst
00:34:27.440 it, saying
00:34:28.120 like, you
00:34:28.860 know, the
00:34:29.140 media is
00:34:29.620 harassing me
00:34:30.540 when I'm
00:34:30.880 not doing
00:34:31.400 anything wrong,
00:34:33.060 you know, I'm
00:34:34.840 just a woman
00:34:36.380 who happens to
00:34:37.320 have large
00:34:37.980 breasts and
00:34:39.160 the media
00:34:39.680 keeps harassing
00:34:41.380 me and I'm
00:34:42.180 really upset
00:34:42.960 because people
00:34:43.780 are, you
00:34:45.040 know, sending
00:34:45.500 me like vicious
00:34:46.460 messages.
00:34:47.060 But then
00:34:49.260 after they
00:34:51.480 went back
00:34:52.220 to being
00:34:52.800 a man,
00:34:54.180 they said,
00:34:55.100 I'm surprised
00:34:56.520 I wasn't
00:34:57.080 featured on
00:34:57.860 South Park.
00:34:59.100 This specimen
00:34:59.920 is really
00:35:00.860 amazing, isn't
00:35:02.140 it?
00:35:02.820 He blatantly
00:35:03.520 lies, he
00:35:04.600 complains about
00:35:05.540 the media
00:35:06.140 victimizing him,
00:35:07.920 but you know,
00:35:08.820 wouldn't it be
00:35:09.200 so cool if
00:35:10.140 South Park
00:35:10.900 featured him
00:35:11.620 in an episode
00:35:12.400 or two?
00:35:13.760 Where would
00:35:14.460 a psychiatrist
00:35:15.240 even begin
00:35:16.620 when it comes
00:35:17.500 to analyzing
00:35:18.480 Kerry Lemieux?
00:35:20.560 Speaking of
00:35:21.340 which, I did
00:35:22.160 ask Sarah if
00:35:23.140 Lemieux does
00:35:24.080 indeed need
00:35:25.180 psychological
00:35:25.960 help.
00:35:27.400 Spoiler alert,
00:35:28.880 is there
00:35:29.300 saltwater in
00:35:30.180 the Pacific
00:35:30.620 Ocean?
00:35:31.060 I have to
00:35:31.940 say, number
00:35:32.540 one, I was
00:35:33.320 pretty upset
00:35:34.140 that initially
00:35:35.720 I was led
00:35:37.340 to believe that
00:35:38.000 this person
00:35:38.620 was genuinely
00:35:39.400 transgender and
00:35:41.200 then after
00:35:42.440 they went back
00:35:43.180 to being a
00:35:43.720 man, they
00:35:44.580 were just
00:35:46.240 being really
00:35:46.800 crude and
00:35:47.600 saying like,
00:35:48.380 oh yeah, you
00:35:49.060 know, I was
00:35:49.460 at a bar the
00:35:50.100 other night
00:35:50.600 and I took
00:35:51.060 some chick
00:35:51.980 home and I
00:35:52.660 f***ed her,
00:35:53.800 ha ha ha,
00:35:54.900 oh I actually
00:35:55.900 had my penis
00:35:56.720 the entire time,
00:35:57.720 ha ha ha,
00:35:58.380 and that sort
00:35:58.880 of made me
00:35:59.800 feel like my
00:36:01.320 trust in this
00:36:04.640 person had been
00:36:05.600 betrayed in a
00:36:06.500 way because it
00:36:07.300 was like kind
00:36:08.320 of hurtful
00:36:09.540 because it was
00:36:10.220 like, I assumed
00:36:11.920 that this was
00:36:12.780 like some
00:36:13.440 like victimized
00:36:14.700 transgender person.
00:36:17.080 Wow.
00:36:18.240 And you know,
00:36:19.140 now that this
00:36:20.020 information is
00:36:21.140 being made
00:36:21.660 public, I
00:36:22.900 wonder if the
00:36:23.600 schools and
00:36:24.580 the school
00:36:24.980 boards and
00:36:25.980 the teachers
00:36:26.500 unions and
00:36:27.620 even the
00:36:28.400 useless Lechie
00:36:29.540 still think it
00:36:30.680 was a great
00:36:31.300 idea to go to
00:36:32.720 bat for this
00:36:33.620 loon.
00:36:34.760 Meanwhile, what
00:36:36.160 did Lemieux's
00:36:37.220 friends and
00:36:37.880 family members
00:36:38.700 have to say
00:36:39.780 about his
00:36:40.740 shenanigans?
00:36:41.900 Well, here's
00:36:42.720 what Sarah had
00:36:43.400 to say.
00:36:43.800 His family
00:36:44.620 members were
00:36:45.720 disapproving,
00:36:47.920 but not
00:36:48.660 partially so.
00:36:50.680 So, they
00:36:51.580 didn't like
00:36:52.400 what Lemieux
00:36:54.460 was doing,
00:36:55.220 but it wasn't
00:36:55.740 like to the
00:36:56.240 point that they
00:36:56.780 were going to
00:36:57.420 like cut him
00:36:58.460 off.
00:37:01.180 So, yeah,
00:37:03.980 and I honestly
00:37:05.160 have no idea
00:37:06.200 like what was
00:37:08.800 going on with
00:37:09.540 the friend
00:37:11.160 situation.
00:37:13.860 Lemieux would
00:37:15.120 send me like
00:37:16.620 pictures and
00:37:17.260 videos of
00:37:17.840 themselves,
00:37:18.680 like just
00:37:20.140 casually like
00:37:21.060 hanging out at
00:37:21.840 bars, like
00:37:22.880 with the fake
00:37:24.340 breasts and
00:37:25.140 everything, like
00:37:26.300 you know,
00:37:27.340 having fun,
00:37:29.000 like, you
00:37:30.420 know, drinking
00:37:31.340 and watching
00:37:32.620 like a sports
00:37:33.320 game and stuff
00:37:34.320 as if it was
00:37:35.440 just a totally
00:37:36.120 normal thing.
00:37:40.180 Like, this,
00:37:41.700 it was all
00:37:42.800 like very
00:37:44.260 confusing to
00:37:46.300 me, which,
00:37:47.060 you know, I
00:37:47.560 think was partly
00:37:48.300 why I was
00:37:49.020 interested in
00:37:50.700 getting to know
00:37:51.700 this person
00:37:52.400 because it was
00:37:53.160 like, it was
00:37:55.260 just so baffling
00:37:56.400 and I kind of
00:37:57.080 like having
00:37:58.900 like an
00:37:59.540 intellectual
00:38:00.140 challenge.
00:38:01.180 Oh, Lemieux
00:38:02.120 is an intellectual
00:38:03.120 challenge, all
00:38:04.120 right.
00:38:04.360 although I
00:38:05.020 don't think
00:38:05.720 even Sherlock
00:38:06.700 Holmes and
00:38:07.780 the kids from
00:38:08.640 Scooby-Doo
00:38:09.620 could solve
00:38:10.400 this gender
00:38:11.500 bending mystery.
00:38:12.840 In any event,
00:38:13.740 Sarah had a
00:38:14.780 falling out
00:38:15.520 with Lemieux
00:38:16.400 about a year
00:38:17.400 ago and they
00:38:18.660 are no longer
00:38:19.240 communicating.
00:38:20.520 This was due
00:38:21.680 to Sarah's
00:38:22.640 trust being
00:38:23.560 violated and
00:38:25.400 the fact that
00:38:26.280 Lemieux in
00:38:27.200 reality wasn't
00:38:28.280 merely a
00:38:29.320 du-regard
00:38:29.940 dude, but
00:38:31.200 rather he was
00:38:32.500 a full-fledged
00:38:33.440 male chauvinist
00:38:34.580 pig.
00:38:35.080 Yeah, we
00:38:35.760 don't talk
00:38:36.500 anymore.
00:38:37.060 I'd say we
00:38:37.460 stopped talking
00:38:38.280 like a year
00:38:39.980 ago.
00:38:43.160 You know,
00:38:44.420 they just
00:38:45.560 went back to
00:38:47.020 being a man.
00:38:47.720 They were
00:38:47.940 living life
00:38:48.800 exactly like
00:38:49.620 a man would
00:38:50.400 in a way
00:38:50.920 that kind
00:38:51.360 of like
00:38:51.940 was disgusting
00:38:53.720 to me because
00:38:54.620 I was like,
00:38:55.160 I don't want
00:38:55.580 to hear these
00:38:57.000 like crude
00:38:57.480 details about
00:38:58.720 women you're
00:39:00.500 having sex
00:39:01.240 with while
00:39:01.740 you're male
00:39:02.340 and that
00:39:03.020 sort of
00:39:03.360 thing.
00:39:04.420 And again,
00:39:05.200 the most
00:39:05.540 pressing
00:39:06.040 question arises,
00:39:07.600 is this
00:39:08.260 new age
00:39:08.900 Mrs.
00:39:09.400 Dress Up
00:39:09.960 doing his
00:39:10.920 cosplay schtick
00:39:12.160 in front of
00:39:13.160 minors at
00:39:14.180 his new
00:39:14.720 school again?
00:39:15.500 So basically
00:39:16.680 what Lemieux
00:39:17.620 told me
00:39:18.720 like about
00:39:21.660 a year
00:39:23.780 and a half
00:39:24.680 ago was
00:39:25.780 that they
00:39:27.240 had lost
00:39:27.860 their jobs
00:39:28.780 at, I
00:39:30.640 think it
00:39:30.960 was the
00:39:31.300 Halton
00:39:31.860 Regional
00:39:32.780 School
00:39:33.700 or whatever
00:39:35.480 because the
00:39:38.380 school board
00:39:39.140 found out
00:39:39.920 that this
00:39:40.420 person had
00:39:42.000 been going
00:39:42.600 out in
00:39:43.080 public
00:39:43.700 dressed as
00:39:44.920 a, like
00:39:45.560 presenting as
00:39:46.320 a man
00:39:46.780 and only
00:39:50.760 coming to
00:39:51.500 the school
00:39:52.160 like dressed
00:39:53.020 up in the
00:39:53.800 transgender
00:39:54.480 outfit.
00:39:54.980 and so
00:39:57.600 it sounded
00:39:58.240 to me like
00:39:58.880 Lemieux got
00:39:59.680 like fired
00:40:01.340 for that.
00:40:02.320 I can't
00:40:02.800 confirm that
00:40:04.180 he was
00:40:04.840 fired because
00:40:06.180 like I
00:40:08.200 just don't
00:40:08.660 remember the
00:40:09.760 language clearly
00:40:10.760 enough but it
00:40:12.040 sounded to me
00:40:13.260 like they had
00:40:14.360 been fired
00:40:15.080 because the
00:40:16.880 school saw
00:40:17.660 these pictures
00:40:18.360 of them like
00:40:19.820 out and about
00:40:20.560 as a man
00:40:21.320 and so
00:40:23.120 they
00:40:24.040 like kind
00:40:25.360 of suggested
00:40:26.080 to me
00:40:26.860 that due
00:40:27.680 to needing
00:40:29.000 to get a
00:40:29.580 new job
00:40:30.080 at another
00:40:30.620 school
00:40:31.220 they were
00:40:32.140 going to
00:40:32.620 go back
00:40:33.160 to being
00:40:33.600 a man.
00:40:34.220 Now if
00:40:34.700 Lemieux was
00:40:35.740 indeed fired
00:40:36.760 by the
00:40:37.540 HDSB
00:40:38.640 this makes
00:40:40.040 for incredible
00:40:41.100 news.
00:40:42.200 Again folks
00:40:43.100 we continue
00:40:43.960 to be stymied
00:40:44.940 when it comes
00:40:45.660 to obtaining
00:40:46.280 information
00:40:47.080 from the
00:40:48.280 school boards
00:40:49.020 about Lemieux.
00:40:49.940 it's all
00:40:50.880 due to the
00:40:51.280 old chestnut
00:40:51.940 of privacy
00:40:52.860 and confidentiality
00:40:54.260 so the
00:40:55.520 school boards
00:40:56.160 simply won't
00:40:56.960 talk about
00:40:57.620 Lemieux or
00:40:58.340 any other
00:40:58.860 teacher for
00:40:59.480 that matter.
00:41:00.800 Even so
00:41:01.420 I think it's
00:41:02.440 safe to
00:41:02.940 state that
00:41:04.180 Lemieux is
00:41:05.020 a compulsive
00:41:05.920 liar.
00:41:06.700 We have
00:41:06.920 proof of
00:41:07.340 it.
00:41:08.080 So maybe
00:41:08.740 he was
00:41:09.580 indeed
00:41:09.900 terminated
00:41:10.440 by the
00:41:10.860 Halton
00:41:11.160 board or
00:41:12.680 maybe this
00:41:13.460 was just
00:41:13.880 another fib
00:41:14.980 to elicit
00:41:15.740 sympathy from
00:41:16.780 Sarah and
00:41:17.520 others.
00:41:18.420 Who knows?
00:41:19.400 But the
00:41:20.340 lack of
00:41:21.000 honesty and
00:41:21.820 transparency
00:41:22.420 from the
00:41:23.120 educrats
00:41:23.840 is nothing
00:41:24.960 short of
00:41:25.840 outrageous
00:41:26.560 and egregious.
00:41:28.600 In any
00:41:29.280 event let's
00:41:30.120 just assume
00:41:30.900 for a
00:41:31.340 minute that
00:41:32.540 Lemieux is
00:41:33.600 indeed telling
00:41:34.300 the truth
00:41:34.800 for a change
00:41:35.500 that he
00:41:36.040 was fired
00:41:36.920 with cause
00:41:37.900 by the
00:41:38.440 Halton
00:41:38.720 board for
00:41:39.640 lying about
00:41:40.560 a non-existent
00:41:41.820 medical
00:41:42.240 condition.
00:41:43.020 Now the
00:41:43.580 question is
00:41:44.340 this.
00:41:44.680 How in
00:41:45.520 the world
00:41:46.100 did the
00:41:46.700 Hamilton-Wentworth
00:41:47.620 district school
00:41:48.440 board look
00:41:49.480 at this
00:41:49.880 lying liar
00:41:50.920 nut bar
00:41:51.720 and say
00:41:52.280 wow
00:41:52.920 Lemieux
00:41:53.760 is the
00:41:54.260 right stuff
00:41:54.980 we gotta
00:41:55.800 have
00:41:56.140 Boobzilla
00:41:56.720 teaching
00:41:57.240 our kids.
00:41:58.980 It's
00:41:59.280 bat shite
00:41:59.840 crazy
00:42:00.300 folks.
00:42:01.280 Bottom
00:42:01.480 line
00:42:01.920 if
00:42:02.500 Sarah
00:42:02.980 is being
00:42:03.680 sincere
00:42:04.240 and honest
00:42:04.780 with me
00:42:05.300 and I
00:42:06.200 have
00:42:06.440 absolutely
00:42:07.420 no reason
00:42:08.420 to believe
00:42:09.180 that she's
00:42:10.340 not being
00:42:11.380 sincere
00:42:12.000 and honest
00:42:12.540 then the
00:42:13.860 story of
00:42:14.400 Busty Lemieux
00:42:15.140 has
00:42:16.220 nothing
00:42:17.060 whatsoever
00:42:17.640 to do
00:42:18.160 with
00:42:18.400 transgenderism
00:42:19.360 and it
00:42:20.020 is not
00:42:20.460 a story
00:42:20.940 of somebody
00:42:21.660 playing a
00:42:22.360 prank
00:42:22.700 either.
00:42:23.620 Rather
00:42:24.260 this is a
00:42:25.280 story that
00:42:26.060 would appear
00:42:26.620 to be about
00:42:27.280 someone struggling
00:42:28.480 with severe
00:42:29.720 mental health
00:42:30.820 issues
00:42:31.320 and yet
00:42:32.880 this man
00:42:34.540 is allowed
00:42:35.420 to be in
00:42:36.220 the company
00:42:36.780 of minors?
00:42:38.360 That's
00:42:39.040 gross.
00:42:40.180 That's
00:42:40.800 irresponsible.
00:42:41.500 it might
00:42:43.280 even
00:42:43.620 prove to
00:42:44.060 be
00:42:44.220 dangerous.
00:42:45.240 So tell
00:42:45.560 me folks
00:42:46.020 who do
00:42:46.440 you have
00:42:47.080 more
00:42:47.460 contempt
00:42:47.940 for?
00:42:48.900 Someone
00:42:49.420 who might
00:42:50.380 very well
00:42:51.060 be
00:42:51.500 mentally
00:42:52.200 ill
00:42:52.600 and
00:42:53.280 desperately
00:42:53.860 in need
00:42:54.560 of
00:42:54.760 treatment?
00:42:55.940 Or the
00:42:56.520 educrats
00:42:57.300 from the
00:42:58.220 principals
00:42:58.680 and the
00:42:59.660 school boards
00:43:00.440 and the
00:43:01.240 ministry of
00:43:01.760 education
00:43:02.320 and the
00:43:03.240 teachers
00:43:03.620 unions
00:43:04.080 all of
00:43:05.560 whom
00:43:05.780 have
00:43:06.060 little
00:43:06.420 problem
00:43:06.880 with
00:43:07.120 Lemieux
00:43:07.420 all in
00:43:08.840 the ludicrous
00:43:09.760 and mistaken
00:43:10.460 belief
00:43:11.040 that this
00:43:12.260 guy is
00:43:12.900 a textbook
00:43:13.560 example
00:43:14.180 of
00:43:14.900 diversity
00:43:15.640 equity
00:43:16.500 and
00:43:17.400 inclusion.
