Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ I think we’re slipping further down the slope to tyranny — I have some anecdotes for you

00:00:00.000 tonight i think we're slipping further down the road to tyranny i have some anecdotes for you

00:00:19.000 it's february 11th and this is the azure levant show why should others go to jail when you're a

00:00:26.200 biggest carbon consumer i know there's 8 500 customers here and you won't give them an answer

00:00:31.420 the only thing i have to say to the government about why i publish it is because it's my bloody

00:00:36.720 right to do so i saw this video the other day a police officer with a uniform and a badge and a

00:00:47.780 gun going unannounced and unprompted to a private citizen's home to talk to them about a peaceful

00:00:55.740 protest they were planning to attend here take a look sorry since you're at my home can i just get

00:01:01.880 your name and your badge number please i have a card here okay it's erica ingram thank you and this is

00:01:07.040 just some information about peaceful protests that's all it is okay so you saw something on my facebook

00:01:13.460 no on the facebook group okay and decided to come to my personal residence to give me information

00:01:20.900 about peaceful protest yes okay so are the peterborough police no you're with opie um are you guys now

00:01:30.400 monitoring people's facebook pages or facebook groups to who comments as to what their um

00:01:37.360 uh status updates are or what they're doing or within the group like because if the protest

00:01:44.320 happening province-wide yes we have been monitoring the protest okay so there's a protest coming up um

00:01:50.600 simply providing you with information about a peaceful protest and now i'm leaving oh okay that

00:01:56.020 is all so the ontario provincial police are watching what people are doing on facebook in

00:02:02.560 different groups whether or not they're commenting participating liking and you guys are now doing

00:02:07.440 service calls to give people information about peaceful protest yeah it's just a proactive measure

00:02:12.540 to make sure you understand your rights about peaceful protesting i absolutely i have a copy of the

00:02:17.560 canadian charter of rights and freedoms so i'm well within that and and very understanding of that

00:02:22.440 uh i appreciate that i'm i'm hoping that uh you guys aren't going to waste our tax dollars continuing

00:02:27.420 to do this to everybody but uh now it's nice to know that uh we're we're being watched

00:02:32.140 so if you have any questions my cell phone number is on the card thank you okay so the police are going

00:02:40.040 door to door surprising people by letting them know they're being spied on that's what that was

00:02:47.740 the police aren't giving this homeowner information about peaceful protests she already has the

00:02:53.660 information from the facebook page the police are the antagonists they're the people who will arrest

00:02:59.640 you and have you charged and prosecuted it's a lie that they're giving you tips it's a legal conflict

00:03:05.820 of interest for them to pretend to be giving you advice on how to protest she gave no useful

00:03:12.740 information that that was a lie that insults the intelligence that cops purpose was to terrify people

00:03:19.380 they come during the day perhaps so the man's way to let people know they're being spied on and if they

00:03:25.740 didn't like this police visit well they better not do anything more proactive measures to make you

00:03:32.640 understand your rights said the cops sorry that's a doug ford style lie it was a proactive measure to

00:03:37.820 make sure you don't exercise your rights that's canada now that cop should be charged with a mask

00:03:43.820 violation though did you notice that as if they ever follow their own rules i saw that today

00:03:49.580 last night i saw that doug ford had sent lawyers to court ex parte that means it was a sneak attack the

00:03:57.340 lawyers for the other side weren't there the truckers lawyers weren't given any notice they weren't

00:04:01.400 invited to the secret hearing to seize all of their funds you might remember that a week ago the left

00:04:07.460 wing crowdfunding website called gofundme seized the truckers money and planned to give it to their

00:04:12.800 own choice of recipients instead that caused such outrage amongst u.s politicians not a peep up here

00:04:18.760 in canada that gofundme decided to return the money to the donors so the truckers set up a new crowdfunding

00:04:23.980 campaign on give send go it's another website which promised to respect their freedom sounded good

00:04:30.060 but uh doug ford went to court to freeze those funds give send go laughed at an ontario court trying to

00:04:38.220 seize funds in the u.s in the land of the first amendment but anyone in canada would be foolish

00:04:42.860 to mess with this court order until it's repealed i suspect it will be overturned soon when the truckers

00:04:48.040 lawyers get to court it'll be interesting to see what information was used by the police to persuade

00:04:53.640 the judge but in case um you're not clear canada is now the place where government seizes your bank

00:05:00.140 accounts if you oppose them too effectively and the government sends armed police to your house to

00:05:07.060 warn you about facebook protests you're involved with you know look at this here it's uh luckily the

00:05:13.980 human rights group called amnesty international has weighed in on the whole situation amnesty

00:05:18.180 international let me read their canada statement on freedom convoy blockade it's a bit weird they put

00:05:25.360 the word freedom in quotes almost like they don't like to use that word anymore i thought that was

00:05:30.040 actually what amnesty international stood for yeah not in a long time uh here's what they say

00:05:36.380 amnesty international canada is deeply troubled by the reports of violence harassment intimidation and

00:05:43.380 hate speech which have surfaced since january 29th said amnesty international secretary general

00:05:48.560 ketty nivya bandy nazi flags confederate flags and other symbols of racism and hate exhibited have no

00:05:57.160 room in peaceful protests equally concerning is the affiliation of some of the convoy organizers

00:06:02.280 with overtly racist white supremacist groups yet none of that's true that's just all gossip and

00:06:09.020 rumor that's that's literally justin trudeau's talking points how embarrassing amnesty international

00:06:14.740 is now against the right of peaceful working people to protest they they can't get enough

00:06:20.540 of civil liberties violating lockdowns what even are they they're cheering for police enforcement

00:06:27.020 against peaceful protests they hate the truckers i mean uh they're truckers they're peaceful but

00:06:34.020 here's another amnesty international press release in support of a terrorist murderer war criminal named

00:06:40.060 omer cotter same human rights group they're fine with him the truckers are doing amazingly well no

00:06:46.740 violence just peaceful and civil disobedience i mean look at the news just today there was a blockade at

00:06:53.140 the manitoba minnesota border yesterday and today the government there announced an end to certain parts

00:06:58.540 of their lockdown not enough not soon enough but do you doubt it was these brave truckers who are saving us

00:07:03.720 it certainly wasn't the politicians on their own last night we got a tip someone recorded a phone

00:07:09.140 call to them from ontario premier doug ford please get your messages and i got about 250 as of once

00:07:15.340 today yeah i'm gonna make this quick because i gotta get no worries uh we're pulling these passports

00:07:22.100 we're gonna get back to normal and uh you know i can't give you the exact date uh but it's gonna

00:07:28.440 be very soon okay okay no i'm gonna be speaking uh over the next few days friday you're gonna put

00:07:34.320 out a statement monday i'll be giving some dates and we're gonna uh move forward okay thanks a lot

00:07:40.620 thank you so 250 people had called doug ford just that morning demanding an end to these vaccine 0.89

00:07:48.180 mandates and doug ford said he would do so he's a liar of course but you can see that the truckers

00:07:52.900 are inspiring a lot of people to stand up to ford instead here's what ford actually announced today

00:07:58.960 he's going to turn against the truckers with brute force so let me be as clear as i can

00:08:05.100 there will be consequences for these actions and they will be severe we've already started by going

00:08:14.820 after the money funding the illegal occupation yesterday an ontario court granted our request

00:08:21.800 to freeze the funds from give send go for the convoy the opp has also provided additional resources

00:08:31.820 to ottawa police services and windsor police services to satisfy their recent requests for

00:08:38.260 operational support and more needs to be done we're strengthening the tools and the powers

00:08:45.420 of our police forces to resolve this situation and restore order let me be clear the government

00:08:53.800 does not direct our police forces but we do set the laws today i'm using my authority

00:09:01.700 as premier of ontario to declare a state of emergency in our province and i will convene cabinet

00:09:08.680 to use legal authorities to urgently enact orders that will make crystal clear it is illegal and

00:09:16.640 punishable to block and impede the movement of goods people and services along critical infrastructure

00:09:25.780 this will include protecting international border crossings 400 series highways airports ports bridges and

00:09:36.820 railways it will also include protecting the safe and essential movement of ambulatory and medical services

00:09:44.740 public transit municipal and provincial roadways as well as pedestrian walkways fines for non-compliance will be severe

00:09:54.900 with a maximum penalty of one hundred thousand dollars and up to a year imprisonment

00:10:01.880 there's a lot in there and illegal occupation well actually that's not what any court has said all the auto

00:10:07.920 court said about the truckers there was that they can't honk their big noisy air horns at night and

00:10:12.980 frankly that's fair enough and a toronto court agreed to freeze the money of good send go give send go just

00:10:20.120 temporarily until the trucker lawyers can present themselves and have a full hearing illegal occupation

00:10:26.100 says who says some politician moments before he says he doesn't direct the police well he just told

00:10:32.340 them that he as king judge i guess has deemed them an illegal occupier well if that's the case uh the police

00:10:39.640 pretty much have to do what he says don't they i mean if it is illegal but doug ford's not a judge

00:10:44.360 i had to laugh when he talked about guarding our borders uh maybe we can get some of that guarding

00:10:50.000 our borders business uh down at roxham road we can actually use some police there doug ford's trying

00:10:56.280 to town sound tough emergency laws hundred thousand dollar fines a year in prison license is taken away

00:11:02.480 that's quite something i'm unaware of any other crime that stops a man from having the right to earn a

00:11:08.180 living and for example even if you're bankrupt you're allowed to keep your tools to work you can commit

00:11:13.160 murder and all that can be done to you is a prison term you can't and won't have your ability to earn

00:11:20.260 a living be taken away but for embarrassing doug ford i guess there's that punishment fines for

00:11:26.500 blocking pedestrians did you catch that part i wonder what the labor unions think of this rule

00:11:30.940 gee i wonder if that could ever be used against them and the strike i mean that really is what these

00:11:36.560 truckers are doing it's a kind of general strike but big labor is along with big government and big

00:11:41.560 farmer and big tech they're they're not with the working man anymore no one is for the little guy

00:11:45.540 anymore certainly not mr ford nation neither are the federal conservative mps though i'm sorry to tell

00:11:52.040 you here's a story in black locks let me just read the headline and the first two sentences

00:11:57.700 likens truckers to terrorists the commons public safety committee yesterday voted 11 to 0

00:12:04.820 to investigate crowdfunding for ideologically motivated violent extremism in canada the vote

00:12:10.560 came as one mp freedom convoy a compared freedom convoy truckers to terrorists quote we as policy makers

00:12:17.340 have to anticipate the new landscape that is before us said new democrat mp alistair mcgregor

00:12:22.000 the mp read out section 83.01 of the criminal code in accusing truckers of terrorism and opposing vaccine

00:12:29.140 mandates so the conservatives voted for that they didn't vote to investigate gofunding for seizing

00:12:35.260 the truckers money or to express outrage at ontario seizing funds from the opposition truckers

00:12:39.620 they voted to investigate the truckers the so-called conservatives did how do you feel about that

00:12:45.120 in fact their interim leader candace bergen is telling the truckers to stop the protest she she's

00:12:50.840 sort of had enough of it guys the vaccine mandates are still in effect you you can't get on a plane

00:12:55.620 or train in canada without being vaxxed thousands of people are being fired from their jobs for not

00:12:59.620 being vaxxed the trucking vaccine requirement is still in effect that's the whole thing this whole

00:13:04.840 trucker convoy was about but candace bergen says it's over guys come together the economy you want to see

00:13:11.680 reopen is hurting farmers manufacturers small businesses and families are suffering i believe this

00:13:20.600 is not what you want to do we must all work together you are protesting because you love your country

00:13:27.800 and you want your freedom back to the protesters here in ottawa you came bringing a message that

00:13:34.760 message has been heard conservatives have heard you and we will stand up for you and all canadians who

00:13:41.720 want to get back to normal life we will not stop until the mandates have ended

00:13:53.320 you know for all the tough talk by police though they haven't done anything tough yet now maybe that'll

00:13:59.480 change by the time this video i'm recording it in the afternoon goes to air at nine i mean sure the ottawa police

00:14:05.720 have stolen a lot of diesel fuel jerry cans which is weird and i think it's criminal acts and it's very petty

00:14:11.720 and frankly it's embarrassing but i don't think they've actually arrested any truckers for being

00:14:15.880 there have they they haven't seized any trucks or towed them that i've seen all this butch talk about

00:14:21.960 emergency acts and new laws doug ford actually doesn't need any new laws i can think of some

00:14:27.320 in effect already the highway traffic act the the criminal code the crime of mischief that big bridge

00:14:33.080 is privately owned you could call that trespass i mean there are a lot of laws

00:14:36.520 laws theoretically loitering jaywalking some of these are being handed out in ottawa i understand

00:14:42.200 but they're just tickets they're not high crimes the minor provincial offense is a parking ticket

00:14:48.200 really you don't arrest someone for that so so doug ford or justin trudeau or jason kenney really

00:14:54.440 wanted to do something they actually have the laws go in there and make an arrest for mischief

00:14:58.040 or trespass but they lack the will not because they're not brutal these are terribly brutal people

00:15:03.720 they brutalized us for two years but they've been real bullies about it they they pick on

00:15:08.120 individuals anyone who pokes their head up they pick them off like arthur pavlovsky again and again

00:15:12.120 in calgary because they know he won't fight back with violence or that 78 year old man in ottawa who

00:15:17.640 honked his horn so the police wanted to show him who was boss yeah it's so gross or remember adam

00:15:23.960 skelly the one brave restaurateur in toronto so politicians are really brave at picking on individuals but

00:15:30.280 how about a hundred or a thousand or ten thousand people at once it really is an emergency i suppose

00:15:35.880 it really is a breach of public order but the thing is after two years of bullying and scaring and lying

00:15:40.840 to us people sort of they side with the truckers against the politicians and even against the cops if

00:15:46.280 this blockade were in 2019 i think the government and police would have the moral authority to go in

00:15:51.480 and just root them out but now people have watched two years of absurd rules that by their

00:15:57.160 you know by by the way the fancy people never follow the rules themselves it's it's not as clear

00:16:02.280 cut now wouldn't you say and unlike greenpeace protesters who are obviously malicious these

00:16:07.000 truckers aren't professional troublemakers this is the first time they've done anything political

00:16:11.320 in their lives they're not trying to destroy the economy they're actually trying to save the economy

00:16:15.720 including their own jobs so let me put it another way why would you call in the army

00:16:21.400 or even the swat team if you are too politically terrified

00:16:23.960 to even just send in a beat cop with handcuffs which they could do at any time but boy has

00:16:30.200 the chattering class you know the macbook laptop at the cottage class the zoom class the lockdown

00:16:36.760 class the the political and media class boy have they been excited about the army about crushing the

00:16:43.000 truckers violently it's it's quite something how butch and these ink stained wretches can be there's

00:16:49.080 nothing more physically weak and impotent than a pundit i should know i have soft hands but it's

00:16:54.520 quite something to read some of the rageful plans that journalists have for these truckers here's a

00:17:00.120 harvard lawyer and cnn pundit juliette cayenne says slash the tires empty gas tanks arrest the drivers and

00:17:08.920 move the trucks well that is that is very tough i don't know if it makes sense to slash the tires if you

00:17:15.320 want to move trucks i don't know if that would help and i don't know if you've ever seen

00:17:19.480 a truck tire uh when it's burst it explodes like a bomb um but this cnn general is ready to go to war

00:17:26.680 and she's got the tactics planned out in canada it's even more pitiful here's a columnist named tasha 1.00

00:17:32.360 keratin who actually i'm not even kidding says she's thinking of uh running for the conservative

00:17:37.320 party of canada leadership and there's just a groundswell for tasha keratin she says i would

00:17:42.440 declare a national public order emergency under the emergencies act in section two of the cses act

00:17:48.280 and call in the military wow call in the military you know she's cool here's matt gurney the little

00:17:56.360 weasel who when he was the national post he actually chaired the town hall meeting of staff

00:18:01.000 to denounce rex murphy he chaired that he's so tough this rex murphy and here's what he says on twitter

00:18:06.120 he's ready to go to war he says the scale of the humiliation in ottawa and the length of it has dragged

00:18:11.560 on will require a very dramatic state response to reassert control not even in ottawa necessarily

00:18:17.480 but canada will need to remind everyone its boss not necessarily violently but decisively hey guys

00:18:25.560 you've embarrassed trudeau too much he's humiliated so because you've embarrassed him we need to be

00:18:32.200 dramatic because this is all big show isn't it it's not about freedoms or rights or the law

00:18:38.200 drama needs drama sorry about that guys but we have to show you who's boss and in matt gurney's mind

00:18:45.800 that's the government that's the police now that doesn't necessarily mean we have to get violent with

00:18:51.720 you but we just might says the coward matt gurney who the hell are these little fascists it's half the

00:18:57.800 press gallery they're lusting for violence i thought they were against violence it's the truckers who are

00:19:03.640 against violence it's the media who's for it and that's my point all these so-called liberals who

00:19:08.760 claim to be thoughtful and peaceful and reasonable their opposition to the truckers is so visceral they

00:19:14.040 so total they have dehumanized them and now they want to exterminate them i don't know but only if

00:19:22.120 necessary says matt gurney just imagine for a moment how would that work i mean so you bring in the army

00:19:32.200 in their military uniforms with their their full kit their rifles i presume maybe maybe some grenades

00:19:38.600 or i don't know little missiles or something maybe you got some cf-18s flying overhead maybe some armored

00:19:43.640 vehicles maybe a tank to to do what to to shoot somebody because that's sort of what soldiers do i don't

00:19:51.480 think soldiers even have handcuffs they don't really know how to arrest people i don't think

00:19:56.280 they did a great job in oka no disrespect but i i don't think that was the right answer there uh

00:20:01.880 soldiers don't know the criminal code they they they haven't studied it they haven't studied the

00:20:05.480 charter of rights they they don't know how to process arrestees why would you send in soldiers

00:20:11.320 to deal with peaceful truckers who haven't shown an ounce of violence

00:20:15.640 why for that butch spectacle the macker anyone's to end the humiliation of the political class to 1.00

00:20:21.080 show you who's boss that's what matt gurney actually said that's what the goal was

00:20:26.440 judo has gone full banana republic already ford doug ford is literally seizing his opponent's bank

00:20:31.640 accounts imagine rolling out military violence to tackle peaceful protesters that just completes

00:20:36.280 the image and i tell you again uh look how easily the descent into fascism look how easily

00:20:42.200 we're falling we're two years into this i remind you that it was two years from hitler becoming

00:20:49.080 chancellor of germany to bringing in the nuremberg laws and then it was another three years

00:20:55.320 until kristallnacht and then it was another year until war with poland and then it was a few more

00:21:01.240 years until the holocaust actually reached its peak it was a decade now i'm not saying we're going 0.96

00:21:07.560 to go all that way god forbid but in two years oh my god we have gone pretty far

00:21:12.840 you can see the elements of it the demonization of a minority calling them unclean the segregation

00:21:19.480 ghettoization of those unclean people the cowardly judges approving it all the media becoming

00:21:25.720 propagandists the opposition parties acceding to everything the vanguards calling for blood

00:21:31.960 only if necessary yeah we've gone pretty far down the road in two years haven't we

00:21:36.600 these truckers gotta tell you they've all we got left stay with us for more

00:21:56.280 well as you know rebel news has distinguished itself by having the most reporters

00:22:00.200 on the ground at the most places across canada you'd think that would fall to the cbc or ctv or global they

00:22:06.280 are billion dollar companies all of them subsidized here one way or another by the government but

00:22:10.760 that's precisely why they have not covered the trucker convoy they wish it never existed they

00:22:15.880 ignored it as much as they could then they defamed it uh we on the other hand are telling the other

00:22:21.080 side of the story we're just pointing our cameras at things and letting you the viewer judge and one of

00:22:25.880 the places where we have reporters right now is at the ambassador bridge between detroit windsor

00:22:32.200 ontario and joining us now live via skype is our friend david the manzoid manzies who's out there on

00:22:39.400 the street david how you doing oh i'm doing great ezra and by the way speaking to the mainstream media

00:22:44.280 they are here on mass but if they're to my right you can see they're across the street from all the

00:22:51.320 demonstrators i think they look upon these people as so many typhoid marys the they're deplorables and

00:22:57.720 undesirables they they don't want to get the covid cooties so uh so they are here but uh lord knows

00:23:05.960 what they're reporting well um i know you're there with our young reporter isabel pan around i'd like to

00:23:11.880 see uh the lay of the land there if you could just slowly spin around the camera let's see what we can

00:23:16.760 see sure well let's check out the bridge first uh ezra isabel you can just pan there there is the

00:23:23.480 ambassador bridge i don't know if you can see it yeah and you see these uh cars here this ezra is

00:23:29.480 essentially the off-ramp for traffic coming from michigan into ontario uh it is blocked and uh there's

00:23:38.680 a few big rigs there's a lot of passenger cars some campers um there was a development uh earlier today

00:23:46.680 as you can see there's one lane where there are no longer cars that lane was blockaded so it's a

00:23:52.920 goodwill gesture the demonstrator said we're going to let you utilize one lane of traffic but i can

00:23:58.200 tell you ezra since we've been here we have not seen one vehicle come across the bridge even though

00:24:05.400 there is uh technically access with this one lane that's open all right can you have the camera go

00:24:11.880 more to the right i want to see the bridge a little bit more we didn't see it uh okay then so just just

00:24:17.560 put it on the bridge itself a little further okay can we go more to the right we'll walk on can you

00:24:24.680 go more to the right just like yeah there we go yeah i just wanted to see that and if you could hold

00:24:29.480 the camera i guess you're walking across the street don't mind me giving camera directions from

00:24:34.600 uh a few hundred miles away i just i just want the to pan more to the right right

00:24:41.080 right pan more to the right as well okay yeah hold it there so that's is that the bridge there

00:24:49.320 that is the bridge the ambassador bridge uh as you know ezra privately owned uh which surprises a lot

00:24:56.040 of people and of course the big development today was premier ford around 10 45 announcing a state of

00:25:04.360 emergency uh that uh you know enough is enough essentially he's telling these demonstrators

00:25:11.400 that the consequences of remaining here if told to uh move by law enforcement they will be severe

00:25:18.840 namely up to 100 000 in fines one year in prison also um having driver's license licenses revoked

00:25:29.800 so this is serious stuff and i can tell you ezra uh we were doing streeters right after the doug ford

00:25:38.200 press conference and um the opinions are split here we have met people that say no i can't afford that

00:25:45.960 and we've met other people that say they're holding the line uh they will have to be arrested their

00:25:51.000 vehicles will have to be towed and one uh elderly gentleman he said to me uh essentially that uh he

00:25:59.800 he already has lost his freedom as far as he's concerned what difference does it make if he's

00:26:05.160 sleeping in a car overnight here on the off-ramp of the ambassador bridge as opposed to sleeping in a

00:26:12.040 prison cell i found that profound and i found it very sad too ezra all right now i don't want to focus

00:26:17.880 too much on the physical layout there but i just want to understand are those like to the right of you

00:26:23.800 there your left uh the camera is right is that an open lane like can someone drive through to to go to

00:26:33.160 michigan right now like over your shoulder um i think it's your left shoulder my right i see what

00:26:40.680 what looks like a toll booth perhaps the camera can focus on that and you can and you can describe

00:26:46.520 like what is that is that the and yeah i know all of these lanes that you see behind me these are

00:26:54.840 heading into the city of windsor from the bridge okay us traffic canada bound on the other side it's

00:27:01.560 two it's uh we have a block view um that's been blocked since wednesday night okay so no canadian traffic

00:27:09.720 going to the us is getting through and that's a very small blockade that would be uh i think easily

00:27:17.000 tollable if the police come down on them well right i mean of course we've seen pictures of

00:27:21.720 the bridge itself with large heavy trucks what i see there are just little pickup trucks really

00:27:27.000 yes there is about uh oh i don't know uh four or five big rigs you know the big 18 wheelers

00:27:33.960 the rest as you said the passenger cars pickup trucks a few campers and um you know one thing

00:27:40.360 i wanted to touch upon too ezra is um the declaration of a state of emergency uh there's no cholera outbreak

00:27:49.320 here it's not a health situation there's no riots and molotov cocktails and arson going about i think

00:27:57.400 what premier ford was saying is that this is a fiscal state of emergency he mentioned

00:28:03.960 700 million dollars of goods is being prevented from crossing the bridge each uh every day and

00:28:12.280 that is the impetus for this state of emergency but you know as we talked to ezra before in the office

00:28:18.120 it's funny isn't it just two years ago the railroad bulkades billions and billions of uh damage to

00:28:24.280 the canadian economy went on for weeks no demon uh demonization of those people no vilification

00:28:31.400 by the government and the media and no real urgent timetable i mean it was eventually shut down but

00:28:37.560 it went on for several weeks this is day five of this protest so i guess it you know depends on uh

00:28:46.040 oh i don't know identity politics in terms of what is an emergency and what is not an emergency

00:28:52.440 even when you're talking about the money angle well yeah and if someone wanted to talk about economic

00:28:58.600 loss i would suggest to you that doug ford's own lockdown and justin trudeau's lockdown have caused

00:29:05.480 a billion dollars of damage a day uh to our economy perhaps even more uh okay so behind you is windsor

00:29:12.040 is what you're saying um are there is there anything else that's of interest to look at where you are

00:29:17.640 um well i can tell you we uh we can't really show up by camera we're out of range but what's been

00:29:25.160 happening uh in the last several hours is increased policing increased uh concrete uh blockades of roads

00:29:35.560 so the feeling here i mean when i was here with natasha on tuesday night there was a real festive

00:29:42.360 atmosphere you know people literally dancing in the streets playing road hockey now there's an

00:29:48.520 ominous feeling ezra it's like they're waiting for that shoe to drop they know the state of emergency

00:29:55.560 has been declared uh the city of windsor and two automobile manufacturing associations were in superior

00:30:02.600 court at noon trying to get an injunction uh the last i checked i don't know if they got it or not

00:30:08.760 uh let's assume they they get it um so there is an ominous feeling especially with the consequences

00:30:16.600 if they stay so we're here we don't know when uh this is going to happen oh i can also tell you this

00:30:23.560 ezra we have seen more and more law enforcement coming into the city of windsor where we're staying

00:30:29.800 the hotel we're staying at ezra uh waterloo police uh which are i believe waterloo might be almost 200

00:30:37.400 kilometers away from windsor uh they're here on mass so something's going to happen the question is

00:30:44.680 when yeah very interesting well of course uh at that hearing i want to let you know david

00:30:50.600 that the democracy fund had lawyers that were granted intervener status status to speak up for

00:30:57.720 civil liberties so i don't know how that hearing uh concluded but i'm very pleased to say that civil

00:31:02.920 liberties lawyers from our friends at the democracy fund were in there making the case uh for a light

00:31:08.760 touch from authorities we'll see how it goes i'm really glad you're down there thanks very much for

00:31:13.560 joining us i know you guys did the live stream at noon today which was great so thanks for the update

00:31:18.200 and um you know i think that if there's going to be enforcement action anywhere it'll probably be at

00:31:24.280 that bridge which is so economically important uh i uh i know that trudeau has the legal tools

00:31:33.160 and doug ford has the legal tools to make arrests and move those vehicles without emergency powers

00:31:39.240 without his insane fever dreams of the military so i think there's some cowardice and also some

00:31:46.680 realization that they if they go in too heavy-handed that'll please the bloodlust of the media party but i

00:31:53.080 think it could cause a general strike in canada and i know that sounds absurd but i think describing

00:31:59.320 this trucker protest as a general strike is the most accurate description it's not just truckers

00:32:04.360 it's farmers it's regular people it's all across the country it's a general strike which i think frankly

00:32:11.080 is appropriate given the general crisis and the complete failure of the entire establishment

00:32:16.280 we'll see how it goes but i appreciate you being there on the ground david well thank you so much

00:32:21.160 for this opportunity to report from windsor uh ezra and uh we uh meeting uh isabel my camera person

00:32:28.120 and i we are here uh to witness what's going to go down i think you're right it's going to be

00:32:33.240 a very delicate operation i will say this unlike ottawa where the it's a logistical nightmare it might

00:32:39.480 take weeks to move all those rigs out with heavy toes this is a much more doable disassembly process

00:32:47.960 i think and uh like i said not a matter of if but when uh law enforcement comes in and uh we'll be

00:32:56.680 here to make sure we catch it on camera my friend all right well there you have it david the men's

00:33:00.840 or men's east thanks for being on the scene at the ambassador bridge and uh stay safe my friend

00:33:05.640 thank you right on there you have it stay with us more ahead

00:33:17.320 hey welcome back your letters t urban says canada has sparked love and unity for freedom for all

00:33:22.920 people all over the world evil hates this and will always overplay its hand stay strong true north strong

00:33:29.880 and free we love you i have seen echoes of this convoy around the world and i think that it's

00:33:37.320 really absurd i don't know why the entire establishment maybe because they can't lose face

00:33:43.720 but as i asked the other day why did every single jurisdiction in the whole world every country every

00:33:48.440 city every state every public health officer all say and do the exact same things i mean how did that

00:33:54.920 happen that that doesn't seem like a natural coincidence like all of them why are they all so

00:34:00.280 vicious with mandates like what like if you really do have 90 percent of people vaxxed why are you so

00:34:06.360 insane about the last 10 percent like the truckers and stuff like you're willing to bring in the military 0.99

00:34:12.520 to take on a peaceful protest why it's the it's just i don't understand it it's about power it's not

00:34:21.560 about health that's i don't understand it someone with the nickname the uneducated sheep says section

00:34:29.160 12 of the charter as part of the constitution is a legal rights section that protects an individual's

00:34:33.400 freedom from cruel and unusual punishments canada everyone has the right not to be subjected to any

00:34:38.600 cruel unusual treatment of punishment like hundred thousand dollar fines yeah i don't believe that uh

00:34:45.480 that threat by doug ford will see the light of day i mean i'm sure he will promulgate the law

00:34:50.600 but a hundred thousand dollar fine for a parking offense is cruel and unusual treatment you're

00:34:54.920 exactly right it's so absurd especially if you're dealing with someone who was peaceful first time

00:35:00.600 offense non-violent just said no i'm having really a sit-in on the bridge here um i don't think i'd be

00:35:07.800 i would be surprised if you had anything more than a conditional discharge i don't know maybe you're

00:35:11.480 going to have a judge who hates these folks but as i've said when we've done our crowdfunding

00:35:15.400 for lawyers uh for these truckers my point is you know if terrorists like omar qatar and

00:35:21.160 college sheikh muhammad and saddam hussein can be given a good lawyer the least we can do for

00:35:26.040 these truckers is to give them a good lawyer so we're crowdfunding those well that's our show for

00:35:29.960 today until monday on behalf of all of us here at rebel world headquarters keep fighting for freedom

00:35:35.640 you know the rebels are going to be out there on the streets on the weekend across the country

00:35:39.400 we're the news you can trust because we're right there on the ground cbc is taking their

00:35:44.760 marching orders from justin trudeau we just show you what's happening let me leave you with our

00:35:50.040 video of the day mass ticketing of peaceful protesters in milk river alberta let's see how

00:35:56.280 far that goes and you bet we'll be defending people with either rebel news or our friends at

00:36:01.880 the civil liberties charity the democracy fund more on that but let me leave you with that video

00:36:06.440 see you later and we'll talk to you on monday

00:36:22.440 i just got off the phone with uh calling adam seuss who was up at milk river and he says that now

00:36:29.160 there is another rcmp checkpoint behind milk river blocking people even getting there

00:36:43.800 just with the press they told me to come around this way okay so rebel news yes okay just one

00:36:48.520 second let me check in with them yeah if you give me 30 seconds and we'll get you on your way no rush man

00:36:52.040 thanks so folks an urgent and critical update right away from here just outside of milk river at the rcmp

00:36:58.840 blockade the rcmp just had a press conference and they have announced that they have staged a new

00:37:05.560 legal protest area closer to milk river where people are being urged to move effectively what

00:37:13.480 we're hearing is that if people do not move to that area there will be enforcement they would not go into

00:37:19.000 too much detail but potentially arrest certainly ticketing if people do not move willingly

00:37:25.720 from the perspective of the police i can say that the people behind us have been very pleasant to deal with

00:37:32.280 there's been some incidents that have taken place but overall it hasn't been violent we're staying put

00:37:40.120 and uh we're holding the line peacefully and uh you know what they can write us tickets uh we're not

00:37:45.720 doing anything we're on public land right to protest and uh we're we're not going anywhere

00:38:00.840 so

00:38:13.560 are trying to get people to move out of this place right

00:38:29.160 right we're not going anywhere we're not going anywhere there's going to be more coming okay

00:38:35.780 here's the deal okay like i said i'm i've been working for 25 years i've never done this kind

00:38:42.340 of thing before i kind of don't even want to be here in some ways right but i got a couple of kids

00:38:47.240 so that what you see behind you is the commencement of traffic enforcement this is a highway in

00:38:52.760 albertasville the rules of the road and the traffic safety act still obey so as you see the

00:38:59.840 guys moving they're going vehicle to vehicle getting license plates looking for owners and

00:39:04.660 traffic violations are going to be issued

00:39:06.860 so as i've said we're here to keep the peace both on the police side and the public side

00:39:22.720 this line is not moving as you can see they haven't moved they're holding it is a police

00:39:26.780 action yeah so this is an unlawful protest communication had gone out that we're going

00:39:31.460 to start traffic enforcement so if you look behind us or if you're able to when you are

00:39:35.740 they are just doing traffic enforcement nobody's going to jail at this point and that's what we

00:39:39.940 want to communicate to everybody nobody's going to jail and i think we're communicating well

00:39:44.080 because that line is broken up

00:39:46.080 i can't go on the bus i can't go see my 85 year old mother i'll never see her again because i can't travel

00:40:06.080 i can't even leave this country i can't even leave canada freedom that's what i'm fighting for god bless you truckers

00:40:20.080 effective at midnight the restriction exemption program and all its requirements will come to an end

00:40:26.080 i can't speak for everybody but i know from quite a few people i've talked to and myself that it's

00:40:32.080 it's always been everything has to be gone completely with no chance of reoccurring

00:40:38.000 like when they put in brackets in their their step one and step two that we'll do these things oh if

00:40:44.880 the numbers and things don't you know don't go back up i mean they can manipulate numbers all day

00:40:50.080 long so that doesn't mean anything so until everything's completely gone we're here and we're supporting

00:41:02.080 creatingavan everywhere and then the fighting divine flying flying flying flying flying flying flying flying flying

00:41:15.120 solidarity

00:41:18.720 Canada is unifying

00:41:22.340 as we stand here together

00:41:24.720 Canada

00:41:29.120 real reporters

00:41:36.700 not quite sure if you can hear me

00:41:39.240 the horns are once again blaring

00:41:41.640 after a massive show of force

00:41:44.300 the police effectively going through

00:41:46.980 to every vehicle

00:41:48.760 that was parked along the road here

00:41:51.180 outside of the RCMP

00:41:52.440 blockade

00:41:53.840 that's right

00:41:54.500 every single vehicle effectively being ticketed

00:41:57.620 they have now left

00:41:58.920 and only remains the original RCMP officers

00:42:01.840 who are holding the border here

00:42:03.980 at this RCMP blockade

00:42:06.200 the trucks are letting their horns be heard

00:42:09.100 throughout the night now

00:42:10.500 letting off some steam as it were

00:42:12.000 and some stress

00:42:12.640 after the tent situation escalated

00:42:15.320 the RCMP as I mentioned

00:42:16.740 have mostly rolled out

00:42:18.220 so it seems like for the evening

00:42:19.940 things have certainly quieted down

00:42:21.680 likely to remain a situation

00:42:24.380 where no vehicles are getting through here

00:42:26.900 unless they live in the area locally

00:42:28.900 and things are set to likely quiet down

00:42:31.920 as it gets a little bit colder

00:42:33.540 and people huddle around the fires

00:42:35.340 to stay warm

00:42:36.180 yet another stalemate of sorts here

00:42:38.960 at the RCMP blockade

00:42:40.980 we will certainly be back here tomorrow though

00:42:43.480 to bring you more of this story

00:42:45.240 we'll see you next time

00:42:52.840 for next time
