Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT： Justin Trudeau, the prince of lies, takes the stand at the trucker commission.

00:00:00.260 Hello, my Rebels. Today, Justin Trudeau takes a stand in the Trucker Commission. Very interesting.

00:00:05.720 It's rare that he's under oath. It's rarer still when he answers a straight question.

00:00:09.620 I'll show you a bunch of clips from today's ongoing proceedings.

00:00:14.580 But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. It's the video version of this podcast.

00:00:18.980 I'd like you to see the video version. I want you to see some documents. I want you to see some people, some video clips.

00:00:25.140 Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe. I know it's eight bucks a month, but you know, that's half the price of Netflix.

00:00:33.160 You get so much unique stuff you won't get anywhere else. And you know what? We rely on that eight bucks a month.

00:00:39.000 I know that sounds sort of laughable, but you add up all the people subscribing, and that's how we meet our payroll here.

00:00:45.140 And we don't get money from Trudeau, and we don't get corporate money, and we don't get YouTube money.

00:00:49.520 They demonetize us. We really rely on you. So, please go to rebelnewsplus.com.

00:00:55.680 All right, here's today's show.

00:01:11.560 Tonight, Justin Trudeau takes a stand in the Trucker Commission.

00:01:16.240 It's November 25th, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.

00:01:19.520 You're fighting for freedom!

00:01:22.440 Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:01:34.620 Another criticism that has leveled is that while the protests may have gotten, can we say, out of hand or snowballed and been extremely disruptive,

00:01:44.340 they weren't the actions of a small minority, but a real expression of frustration,

00:01:50.440 a legitimate frustration on behalf of a significant number of Canadians who had been through,

00:01:57.000 either suffered from or felt aggrieved by years of public health measures.

00:02:03.280 And in response to that, they wanted to engage, and they wanted you to speak to them, and they wanted to hear directly from their federal government,

00:02:15.500 and that did not happen.

00:02:16.500 So, do you have an answer to that?

00:02:17.720 I think, first of all, we heard them.

00:02:26.720 We knew exactly what they were asking for.

00:02:29.940 They were very, very clear that they wanted an end to mandates.

00:02:34.820 The convoy protesters were expressing their disagreement with very specific public policies, that they were very vocal,

00:02:46.040 both in mainstream communications and through social media, on what they wanted, and they were very much heard.

00:02:56.260 They had political parties in the previous election very much carrying those messages and presenting them to Canadians as part of the options that Canadians had to choose in that previous election.

00:03:10.380 So, people were well aware of the opinions and concerns and perspective of those individuals.

00:03:22.940 Well, I know that the phrase, the Prince of Lies, is sometimes a nickname of the devil himself,

00:03:28.400 but I think if you take those words just at their literal meaning, I think Justin Trudeau is the Prince of Lies. 0.80

00:03:33.960 You had other lies, liars serving him over the last few days, Marco Mendocino, David Lameda, Christia Freeland, but of course the master of lies is Trudeau himself. 0.84

00:03:45.240 And I say that not as an insult, I say that as a description. 0.97

00:03:50.380 I think he's a sociopath, and I think that was on display today.

00:03:55.800 I think he holds on to false facts to keep his mindset together.

00:03:59.940 He finds internal excuses for atrocious behavior if he can just hold on to a few false facts.

00:04:06.520 Without further ado, let me bring on to the show my dear friend, Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter,

00:04:11.440 who has been live-tweeting Trudeau's testimony all day and has isolated six video clips that we're going to talk about.

00:04:19.280 Sheila, I probably started off a little bit too harsh there, calling him the Prince of Lies,

00:04:22.580 but reviewing these six clips and the two documents,

00:04:24.920 especially given that one of these documents was released an hour after Trudeau started testifying,

00:04:31.540 and it was deliberately done that late so that the lawyers didn't have a chance to cross-examine him on it. 0.93

00:04:36.920 That is the move of a liar.

00:04:38.880 They've had nine months to prepare for this commission of inquiry.

00:04:41.500 They knew it was coming.

00:04:42.620 Nine months, and they gave this document an hour after Trudeau started talking.

00:04:46.820 That is the move of a Prince of Lies.

00:04:48.480 First of all, Sheila, how are you doing?

00:04:49.840 Oh, I'm doing great. 0.94

00:04:52.180 I'm doing my best not to be stupider after all of this, 0.98

00:04:55.100 after listening to Justin Trudeau prattle on about so much of nothing sometimes. 0.97

00:04:59.620 He knows that a lot of these lawyers who are cross-examining him,

00:05:04.760 sometimes they only have five minutes, sometimes they have ten minutes,

00:05:07.640 and so he's very clearly gone to the Kamala Harris School of Public Speaking but saying nothing,

00:05:13.180 and he takes the long way around on everything.

00:05:15.160 He's, as they say, ragging the puck to make sure they don't get an opportunity to ask him questions.

00:05:19.700 It's so clear. 0.99

00:05:21.340 It's ridiculous. 0.92

00:05:22.500 Yeah. 0.94

00:05:22.920 Well, I mean, he doesn't have much time for the mere rule of law.

00:05:27.420 How many times is he being convicted under the Conflict of Interest Act?

00:05:30.440 He just laughs at it.

00:05:32.180 Twice he lost to us in court when he tried to ban us from the leaders' debates,

00:05:35.520 and twice he says, I still don't think you're a real journalist.

00:05:38.220 Minutes after the courts say we are.

00:05:39.860 He really doesn't care about the law.

00:05:41.020 The law is for little people. 1.00

00:05:42.260 Let's jump right in.

00:05:43.220 And this is an astonishing thing.

00:05:47.260 Trudeau sometimes says something and then plays it back in his own head and said,

00:05:50.820 that was a mistake.

00:05:52.360 Like when he says China is the country he most admires.

00:05:56.040 If you look at the full clip, he says that for a while,

00:05:58.740 then he says, because he says that basic dictatorship can move quickly,

00:06:02.780 and then he says, yeah, and Harper would like that kind of power. 0.70

00:06:06.440 Like he says what he really loves about China,

00:06:08.460 and then he realizes how he must sound.

00:06:10.060 This is that same sort of thing.

00:06:12.060 He says, well, I'll let you see it for yourself.

00:06:15.140 Play clip number one.

00:06:16.880 But in terms of responding to their demands or legitimizing them by engaging,

00:06:24.960 I'm highlighting that I'm worried about setting a precedent that a blockade on Wellington Street can lead to changing public policy.

00:06:32.360 People need to be heard.

00:06:33.220 But we need to get that balance right.

00:06:36.300 And then she agreed that I need to be cautious and I don't want to set any bad precedents.

00:06:41.780 Okay.

00:06:42.460 So fairly self-explanatory.

00:06:43.840 There's a willingness to discuss, but you were concerned about setting a precedent where a blockade could equal a change in public policy.

00:06:55.220 Is that fair?

00:06:55.600 Yeah, I think we have a robust functioning democracy and protests, public protests are an important part of making sure we're getting messages out there

00:07:09.120 and Canadians are getting messages out there and highlighting how they feel about various issues.

00:07:13.340 But using protests to demand changes to public policy is something that I think is worrisome.

00:07:24.760 Okay.

00:07:25.740 Thank you, Mr.

00:07:26.320 Although, sorry, to a certain extent.

00:07:27.480 No, no, please go on.

00:07:28.280 You know, protests, if you're out protesting that the government is, you know, shutting down a safe injection site or something,

00:07:33.900 you are asking for changes in public policy.

00:07:36.500 But there is a difference between occupations and, you know, saying we're not going until this has changed

00:07:47.200 in a way that is massively disruptive and potentially dangerous versus just saying, yeah, we're protesting because we want public policy to change

00:07:58.720 and we're trying to convince people to get enough of them, that politicians will listen to enough people saying,

00:08:03.760 okay, I'm going to lose votes if I don't change this.

00:08:06.280 That's the usual way protests can be effective in our democracies. 0.95

00:08:13.700 So you can't be disruptive, Sheila.

00:08:15.700 So, for example, you couldn't have a strike at a factory because that would be disruptive.

00:08:21.260 You certainly couldn't block a railway track as they were blocked in Canada for months, a few years back.

00:08:29.220 And, by the way, Trudeau sent negotiators to me with them.

00:08:32.080 You couldn't block traffic like, you know, climate existence rebellion.

00:08:36.800 You couldn't, like his own cabinet minister, Stephen Gilboa, you couldn't break in to the CN Tower and rappel down or whatever Gilboa did.

00:08:46.880 You couldn't really do any of the anti-logging, anti-mining, anti-oil things that his liberal friends do.

00:08:54.160 The one thing he can think of that you are allowed to do is support drug injection sites for Canadians.

00:09:02.440 I think Trudeau did that same thing he did with his China quote.

00:09:06.360 He showed his true self and said, hang on, there's a little, you know, chimpanzee in his head clanging cymbals together.

00:09:13.080 That's like, boss, boss, you made a boo-boo.

00:09:16.360 And then he said, oh, shoot, that's right.

00:09:18.100 I said something crazy there and he tried to fix it. 0.99

00:09:20.340 Yeah, you know, there's a lot of that happening today where he says something and then he realizes it's stupid and then he tries to fix it and then makes it worse. 0.91

00:09:30.480 Because what he did there was he said, basically, if you read between the lines the things he says you're allowed to do and what you're not allowed to protest, 0.87

00:09:39.660 he's basically saying conservatives are not allowed to protest for conservative causes.

00:09:44.380 But if this is left wing virtue signaling causes, for example, allowing people to continue to inject themselves with poison until they ultimately reach an untimely death, that's fine.

00:09:56.180 You can do those sorts of things.

00:09:57.880 It's conservatives or, you know, people who just want to go back about their lives who are protesting me and disrupting me.

00:10:04.940 That's the real problem.

00:10:06.480 Yeah, yeah, it's exactly right.

00:10:08.220 Disrupt the oil patch.

00:10:09.220 He hates the oil patch anyways.

00:10:10.500 He wants to shut it down.

00:10:11.820 But disrupt him and his friends in Ottawa, of all places.

00:10:15.980 How dare you come to our pristine capital city?

00:10:19.620 Have your disruptive protests out there in the colonies, but don't come to King's Landing.

00:10:25.840 This is holy territory, don't you?

00:10:29.380 Now, clip number two shows that from a very early moment, he was thinking of going full martial law.

00:10:37.580 It sounds like he was talking about or thinking about martial law before things even got disruptive.

00:10:44.140 He just hated the sight of truckers and oil men and Westerners and independent people.

00:10:50.500 He hated them so much.

00:10:52.320 His first move was, well, martial law.

00:10:55.180 That's what my dad did.

00:10:56.040 Take a look.

00:10:56.500 And I'm wondering if you can describe, if someone asked you, when did the Emergencies Act come into play as a possibility?

00:11:05.080 How would you answer that?

00:11:06.400 As an idea, it would have been from the very beginning, in the back of our minds.

00:11:14.540 As you see a situation that is an emergency, is out of control, has a potential for real impact on citizens, potential for violence,

00:11:26.260 real concerns, real concerns about what's going on, not just in Ottawa, but right across the country.

00:11:32.180 The Coutts blockade that started up on the same first weekend that the Ottawa occupation did.

00:11:40.320 These are the things that you say, okay, as we look at a whole range of potential outcomes in this,

00:11:50.540 there might be a moment where we have to invoke the Emergencies Act.

00:11:55.840 Yeah.

00:11:56.500 If he was talking about this from the very early moment, it wasn't because there was violence or danger.

00:12:02.080 There never was any violence.

00:12:03.740 No.

00:12:04.160 It wasn't even because of disruption.

00:12:06.220 It was just he hated the sight of working class, Western, hardworking, blue-collar folks getting a little uppity.

00:12:15.480 And how dare you?

00:12:17.520 Protests are for college leftists.

00:12:19.940 Protests are for Peter Pan men who never grow up like Stephen Gilbeau.

00:12:26.280 Protests aren't for working men.

00:12:27.580 Know your place.

00:12:28.380 Deliver me my stuff.

00:12:29.820 Deliver me my Amazon package or my DoorDash mail.

00:12:33.040 Working men, you're a delivery boy.

00:12:35.960 Know your place, delivery boy.

00:12:38.420 That's why he thought of going to martial law right from the beginning.

00:12:42.600 I don't think, like Black Lives Matter, that actually was disruptive.

00:12:46.640 It rioted in a dozen American cities.

00:12:48.820 I don't know more.

00:12:50.200 Shut down train tracks.

00:12:51.360 Those actually were disruptive.

00:12:53.080 He never for a second thought of martial law in those cases because those were his allies and friends.

00:12:58.660 He actually said, I've never considered it.

00:13:01.800 I've never considered invoking it on Indigenous-led protests.

00:13:05.360 He said that.

00:13:06.060 He testified to that today.

00:13:07.580 And we know that he's not even doing one of his usual Trudeau exaggerations here when he says that they considered it from the very beginning.

00:13:15.080 We know Bill Blair said to Global News that he considered it from the very beginning.

00:13:19.840 David Lamedi considered the Emergencies Act, we know, at least in text messages.

00:13:24.800 And this is when he put it in writing.

00:13:26.120 So, obviously, it was probably in his mind well before that.

00:13:28.940 About 36 hours into the arrival of the protests.

00:13:32.340 They hadn't even gotten through the whole weekend.

00:13:34.980 And he was like, you know what?

00:13:36.160 We should Emergencies Act, these people.

00:13:38.320 February 2nd, Lamedi brought it up.

00:13:40.060 And again, on February 4th.

00:13:41.520 So, these people aren't joking when they said this was something in our mind from the very beginning.

00:13:45.300 And actually, it came out in testimony today that Justin Trudeau said that they had even considered this for the pandemic.

00:13:52.300 So, they were considering Emergencies Act in the country because of the pandemic.

00:13:56.780 And he said, oh, but we didn't.

00:13:58.740 Oh, thanks for being so benevolent, for not Emergencies Act in us for two and a half years straight.

00:14:04.200 But thank you for limiting it to just the time between you knew you were going to lose,

00:14:08.260 the time you invoked it and the time you knew you were going to lose the Senate vote on it.

00:14:12.100 Yeah. 0.97

00:14:12.500 He really is a tyrant. 0.89

00:14:13.720 He comes by that honestly. 0.62

00:14:16.480 You know, I just want to remind people of the violence that there was in Ottawa.

00:14:20.880 Because there was violence.

00:14:22.280 I know that.

00:14:23.060 Someone was shot.

00:14:25.260 That someone was our reporter, Alexa Lavoie, who was shot in the leg with a riot weapon by the Ottawa police.

00:14:31.160 Just use a reminder of that awful moment.

00:14:33.700 One of the worst moments in our company's history.

00:14:35.560 Take a look.

00:14:35.940 Stop it! 0.99

00:14:36.940 Stop it! 0.99

00:14:37.940 Stop it! 0.99

00:14:44.940 You just fired a pro this.

00:14:45.940 You just fired a pro!

00:14:46.940 You just fired a pro! 1.00

00:14:47.940 Fuck! 1.00

00:14:48.940 Fuck! 1.00

00:14:49.940 Oh! 1.00

00:14:50.940 Ow! 1.00

00:14:51.940 Ah no!

00:14:52.940 Ow! 1.00

00:14:53.940 Ow! 1.00

00:14:54.940 Ow! 1.00

00:14:56.940 There you go.

00:14:57.940 You all right?

00:14:58.940 Got trapped.

00:15:00.940 Take care.

00:15:01.940 Bring her out! 1.00

00:15:02.940 Come on! 0.61

00:15:03.940 Oh my God!

00:15:04.940 Stop it! 0.99

00:15:05.940 Oh my God!

00:15:06.940 Stop it! 0.99

00:15:07.940 Oh my God!

00:15:08.940 Oh my God!

00:15:13.940 Alexa was not the only person who was violently attacked.

00:15:16.940 There was an elderly lady.

00:15:17.940 I understand she was indigenous who was stomped on by a riot horse.

00:15:21.940 Here, take a quick look at that.

00:15:23.940 Come on through!

00:15:24.940 What is happening here?

00:15:26.940 Wow!

00:15:27.940 What is this lady doing? 1.00

00:15:28.940 Trampling.

00:15:29.940 Trampling.

00:15:30.940 Trampling horses.

00:15:31.940 Stumbling.

00:15:32.940 Stop it! 0.99

00:15:33.940 Stop it! 0.99

00:15:34.940 Stop it! 0.99

00:15:35.940 Oh my God!

00:15:36.940 Oh my God!

00:15:37.940 Oh my God! 1.00

00:15:38.940 Shut the fuck down! 1.00

00:15:40.940 They just trampled this lady. 1.00

00:15:42.940 They just trampled that lady. 1.00

00:15:45.940 They just fully trampled that lady. 1.00

00:15:48.940 They just fully trampled that lady. 1.00

00:15:51.060 The reason I show you those, both of them women, by the way,

00:15:55.560 an elderly woman stomped on by the horse, 0.74

00:15:59.160 is apropos of clip number three that we have for you

00:16:01.980 of Justin Trudeau showing how much he cares about women.

00:16:05.840 Take a look.

00:16:06.900 When there's a national emergency and serious threats of violence to Canadians

00:16:10.820 and you have a tool that you should use,

00:16:14.280 how would I explain it to the family of a police officer who was killed

00:16:17.680 or a grandmother who got run over trying to stop a truck

00:16:22.120 or a protester who was killed if I hadn't used the tools,

00:16:28.500 if one of the protesters, one of the occupiers,

00:16:32.480 had been killed in a violent clash with someone else?

00:16:38.280 Getting this situation under control

00:16:40.520 and protecting the safety of all Canadians is a priority.

00:16:44.540 Except for the Emergencies Act doesn't talk about potential threat

00:16:49.540 to promise in my own mind.

00:16:51.260 It's an actual danger, an actual attack on the sovereignty of Canada,

00:16:57.260 not in his own mind.

00:16:59.780 And like I say, protesters were violated by the government.

00:17:03.640 It is not sufficient under law or in common sense

00:17:07.720 that you bring in martial law

00:17:09.240 because you think your enemies are as evil as you project onto them.

00:17:12.940 Yeah, there was a lot of, I would suggest, marijuana paranoia

00:17:18.440 in Justin Trudeau's testimony today

00:17:21.860 because he used the word potential

00:17:24.340 so many times that if you were playing a drinking game,

00:17:28.000 you'd have been hammered by about 9.45 this morning

00:17:32.920 because it was, there's a potential for violence,

00:17:36.060 there's a potential for this, there's a potential for that.

00:17:38.040 There's no such thing as potential in the Emergencies Act text writing.

00:17:43.720 That's not what the standard is here.

00:17:45.800 It is, does it rise to the CSIS definition of national security threat?

00:17:51.600 And CSIS testified, it never did.

00:17:54.320 There was a point at which Justin Trudeau was opining about weaponized vehicles.

00:17:58.380 He said, you know, I really became concerned when the vehicles became weaponized.

00:18:02.160 When did that ever happen?

00:18:05.000 Well, the example he gave was when two cars got in a very minor fender bender

00:18:12.580 down at the Coutts border blockade.

00:18:14.980 They were both protesters and there was a blockade

00:18:17.560 and they sort of banged bumpers.

00:18:19.400 And there was, you know, just people sort of yelling at each other

00:18:22.360 because they had a car accident.

00:18:23.800 But that was Justin Trudeau's definition of weaponized vehicles.

00:18:29.000 And Jason Kenney helped spread that lie.

00:18:33.560 So that lie out there is part of the ether around the convoy

00:18:38.140 because Jason Kenney said that a car tried to ram the blockade.

00:18:41.600 Well, no, it was a fender bender. 0.81

00:18:42.980 And now we see our prime minister using that against peaceful protesters here in Alberta.

00:18:48.900 That's clip number five.

00:18:50.720 Play clip number five when Trudeau lists these threats.

00:18:53.580 He talks about using children as human shields.

00:18:57.440 He's projecting his own bizarre cruelty onto others.

00:19:03.260 He's talking about cars ramming police officers.

00:19:08.200 In a second, we'll show you how the RCMP clearly say that did not happen.

00:19:12.160 We'll play a clip of that. 0.87

00:19:13.200 But here, take a look at Trudeau, the prince of lies.

00:19:16.420 Threats of serious violence was the key ones.

00:19:20.100 And can you elaborate on what those threats were?

00:19:23.840 What led to that conclusion?

00:19:25.280 And again, we went around the table with officials from all different agencies

00:19:31.700 and heads of departments to talk about this.

00:19:35.240 There was the militarization of vehicles, for example.

00:19:40.980 We'd seen, sorry, weaponization of vehicles.

00:19:44.720 We'd seen, you know, cars ramming into police officers or other cars at coots.

00:19:50.220 We saw an incident like that in Surrey, I believe.

00:19:56.760 We saw trucks used as potential weapons, certainly in Ottawa with their presence and unknown interiors.

00:20:07.940 There was a use of children as human shields deliberately, which was a real concern, both at the Ambassador Bridge and the fact that there were kids on Wellington Street,

00:20:21.580 that people didn't know what was in the trucks, whether it was kids, whether it was weapons, whether it was both.

00:20:28.280 Police had no way of knowing those.

00:20:30.900 There was presence of weapons at coots, as we saw.

00:20:35.280 There was a concern around weapons being stolen in Peterborough that we didn't know, but 2,000 guns, that we didn't know where they had gone at that point.

00:20:43.940 We later found out that they didn't go there, but that was a real concern that we had about what was happening to them.

00:20:51.400 There were a number of others as well.

00:20:54.000 Children were never used as human shields.

00:20:56.260 That's bizarre.

00:20:56.920 This is what I mean about the sociopathic, like for him to keep his worldview together, he needs those things to be true.

00:21:05.460 Here, just before I forget, here's our own reporters calling the RCMP and asking them to clarify if that slander that some protester rammed an RCMP in coots, that was the weaponization of vehicles, that was a lie told by Jason Kenney.

00:21:22.580 We knew that, and we got the RCMP, incredibly, to admit it on tape.

00:21:26.660 Here, take a quick look at that.

00:21:28.120 Hey there.

00:21:29.240 Sid, it's George Suddenkopf calling you back.

00:21:31.120 Yep, thank you.

00:21:31.660 So I can confirm that we disabled three, looks like three, excavators to prevent the equipment from being used in the illegal activity of the blockade.

00:21:43.080 Was there an expectation there as to how they were going to be used?

00:21:48.440 I'm not sure.

00:21:49.400 I got the answer for you.

00:21:50.880 I'm not sure what other questions you might have relative to that.

00:21:53.680 I wasn't part of that planning or the execution of that, so I don't think I can comment any further than that.

00:22:01.280 Nope, it's all good.

00:22:02.020 Really appreciate that.

00:22:02.900 Thank you so much.

00:22:03.460 No problem, Sid.

00:22:04.060 Take care, buddy.

00:22:04.580 Yep, bye-bye.

00:22:05.640 Hi there, it's Corporal Savenkopf here.

00:22:07.240 Hey there, Corporal.

00:22:08.140 This is Sid calling you again, really quickly, if you have the time for a second.

00:22:12.780 Absolutely.

00:22:13.400 Yep, so I just wanted to confirm exactly what the damage was done by the RCMP.

00:22:21.260 The damage, the disabling?

00:22:23.260 Yeah, yeah, so we can, yep.

00:22:25.660 Right, I don't know, I don't know what we did to disable those vehicles, Sid.

00:22:28.920 Okay, but, okay, yeah, sorry, I forgot to get that bit there last time, but you did confirm

00:22:33.540 that it was you guys, but in terms of the specific damage, you're unaware.

00:22:38.100 Yeah, the specific steps that we took to disable those vehicles, I don't know.

00:22:42.200 Okay, all right, no, appreciate that.

00:22:43.660 Just wanted to reconfirm, thank you.

00:22:45.680 All right, take care.

00:22:46.460 Yep, bye-bye.

00:22:47.000 So, you know, I don't know if Justin Trudeau is selectively editing from his memory any

00:22:56.720 countervailing facts.

00:22:58.040 I think he hunts for a few things that can allow him to psychologically say, no, no, I'm

00:23:05.420 telling the truth here.

00:23:07.040 Even though every single thing he listed there was either false, an exaggeration, or as you

00:23:16.100 said, just a potential, a potential human shield, he has to say that and do that to keep his

00:23:24.840 sociopathic love of tyranny alive.

00:23:26.940 He justifies his tyranny with all these asterisks and stretches and exaggerations.

00:23:32.600 You know, if there really was a national emergency, you wouldn't have to string it together with

00:23:40.200 exaggerations.

00:23:41.560 And we saw earlier in the Commission of Inquiry, cabinet ministers and other senior bureaucrats

00:23:47.360 brainstorming how they can gin up a media narrative about this is a danger, this is

00:23:52.680 rioters, this is January 6th, all over again, these are neo-Nazis.

00:23:56.520 If there were a Nazi uprising, if there were a revolution, if there were a mass danger in

00:24:02.400 Canada, you would know it, you would see it, you wouldn't have to spin journalists and exaggerate

00:24:10.820 the way Trudeau does. 0.95

00:24:11.900 He knows he's a liar, but he's doing this so he can look himself in the mirror. 0.88

00:24:16.880 You know, I think Justin Trudeau's statement there was revelatory of his own bigotry, of what 0.83

00:24:23.800 he thinks about blue-collar people, because he thinks that they are just violent, uncontrollable,

00:24:30.340 feral people, obviously.

00:24:33.000 Because at no point, at no point were the police ever really in control of the situation there.

00:24:41.060 At every point where there was a protest or a blockade, the police were vastly outnumbered

00:24:48.760 by people far more useful than they're normally exposed to in the city of Ottawa.

00:24:53.800 These are not professional bureaucrats.

00:24:55.640 These are the useful people that keep society going.

00:24:58.680 Those are the people who went to Ottawa to protest.

00:25:01.400 And at no point did they ever meet violence of the state with violence of their own.

00:25:07.940 When they were being trampled, they didn't riot.

00:25:10.300 When they were being snatched and grabbed, unlawfully confined, kidnapped, and taken outside

00:25:16.320 of town and dumped with no cell phone, sometimes no jacket, and no way back in minus 30, they

00:25:21.440 never met violence with violence.

00:25:24.400 They could have taken over Ottawa 10 times over.

00:25:28.680 They didn't.

00:25:29.700 And there was something in there, too, that Justin Trudeau said about the trucks.

00:25:34.940 And again, it speaks to his own bigotry about blue-collar people and truck drivers in general.

00:25:40.060 He said the presence of unknown interiors.

00:25:43.760 He knew that his potential speculation, marijuana, paranoia, it wasn't enough to get a judge to

00:25:52.100 sign off on a warrant to say, can I search your truck?

00:25:55.220 And so he was really just desperate to get into the interior of those trucks and try his

00:26:01.740 best to find guns.

00:26:02.680 No guns were found in Ottawa.

00:26:03.880 But he had himself convinced, because he's such a bigot, that those people were just

00:26:09.220 armed to the teeth with weapons caches inside their truck.

00:26:12.380 And they would sacrifice their own children.

00:26:14.900 They would sacrifice their own children, because they're the demonic ones, not him.

00:26:20.880 I want to play one more clip, and this is the thing you mentioned earlier.

00:26:24.280 Like I say, the Emergencies Act, the form of martial law that succeeded the War Measures

00:26:28.600 Act, it has built within a requirement that within a certain period of time,

00:26:33.880 after the invocation of martial law, a commission of inquiry like this one be convened.

00:26:38.980 So back in February, the entire world, including Justin Trudeau, knew what would happen.

00:26:43.300 They would have to show their work.

00:26:46.040 And of course, the commission of inquiry has been meeting for more than a month, and we

00:26:49.540 knew it would for months before that.

00:26:52.120 And yet it was at 1026 AM, an hour after Trudeau started testifying, that Trudeau and his

00:26:59.980 staff thought they'd turn over, for the first time, documents showing what was really happening.

00:27:06.560 And I would like to play video number six, and then we'll show the documents thereafter.

00:27:12.600 So here's Rob Kittridge, who we had on the show the other day, asking Trudeau some questions

00:27:17.580 about that.

00:27:18.080 Could you identify on the other side what information was blacked out as irrelevant by your government?

00:27:24.860 Americans offering tow trucks?

00:27:30.440 Yeah.

00:27:30.860 And wouldn't you say that discussion of tow trucks was relevant to the discussion we're

00:27:35.620 having here today?

00:27:37.660 I'm not the one who made these redactions.

00:27:40.860 It's the professional public service that made those redactions.

00:27:43.580 So you'd have to ask them.

00:27:44.960 Right.

00:27:45.220 Well, I think we will be.

00:27:46.100 But in any event, I would put it to you that tow trucks weren't, in fact, required, that

00:27:53.360 the power to compel tow trucks was not used for anything other than convenience, and that

00:27:59.040 tow trucks had been secured at all important locations prior to the invocation of the Emergencies

00:28:03.900 Act.

00:28:04.680 And I got to say, it's interesting to close on this tow truck point.

00:28:09.380 I hadn't expected that to happen.

00:28:11.100 But would you agree with me that tow trucks weren't, in fact, needed at the time of the invocation

00:28:15.740 of the Act?

00:28:16.440 No, I do not.

00:28:17.460 Mr. Commissioner, Brian Gover for the Government of Canada.

00:28:20.080 And if my friend is going to put that to the witness, he ought to put the proposition

00:28:24.460 correctly.

00:28:25.780 I remind my friend that the evidence of Commissioner Karik of the Ontario Provincial Police was that

00:28:34.200 the powers under the Emergency Measures Regulation in relation to tow trucks were used.

00:28:39.220 I refer specifically to his February 22, 2022 report to Deputy Solicitor General Di Tommaso,

00:28:49.320 which shows that clearly those powers were used.

00:28:52.440 Thank you.

00:28:53.500 Right.

00:28:54.020 Well, I would respond by saying that the evidence so far has shown that while, strictly speaking,

00:29:02.580 there was an indication or there was a use of that power under the Act by the OPP, it

00:29:07.580 was basically used as a method to ensure that the payment was made.

00:29:10.800 It's supposed to come to me, and I think those happen to be areas that I'm going to have to

00:29:16.020 deal with what is, in fact, the case.

00:29:19.500 But you can pose your question in a different way if you wish.

00:29:22.800 But I think whether or not they were used, whether or not it was required, is something

00:29:28.100 I will...

00:29:29.200 I think we're bearing the lead a little bit here, and I'll ask you again.

00:29:33.780 You would agree that a discussion of tow trucks and information about tow trucks is relevant

00:29:38.200 to the work of the Commission and the discussion that we're having here today, wouldn't you?

00:29:43.220 I know there was a lot of time spent on tow trucks during the past six weeks.

00:29:46.820 Right.

00:29:47.100 Well, thank you very much.

00:29:48.800 I'm not impressed with that cross-examination.

00:29:51.440 The lawyers were...

00:29:53.260 You know, we had Rob on the show the other day.

00:29:55.020 I enjoyed talking with him.

00:29:55.940 But I think when you have Justin Trudeau in the witness box, you put questions to him

00:30:00.040 and try and get him to say things.

00:30:01.420 You can add your commentary later.

00:30:03.960 And the lawyers bantering.

00:30:05.680 Justin Trudeau was smiling like the cat that ate the canary while the lawyers bickered and

00:30:10.300 bantered.

00:30:10.760 I wasn't impressed with that.

00:30:13.260 But I do want to show one more document, Sheila.

00:30:17.040 And it's a readout of the phone call between Trudeau and Yasser Nakhvi.

00:30:23.720 Because there's reference to a criticism of Trudeau.

00:30:33.860 And I'm not sure if we can see it there.

00:30:36.480 But Nakhvi says the protest was dire.

00:30:39.820 I didn't know that there was such a thing as a dire protest.

00:30:43.380 I don't know exactly what that means.

00:30:45.460 And this is the first weekend, by the way.

00:30:47.600 These people are already losing their minds on like 18 hours into the protest.

00:30:51.860 I was there the first weekend.

00:30:53.360 And when I arrived in the downtown, I felt like I was coming into a city that had like

00:30:58.820 a Stanley Cup final.

00:31:00.600 Like people with flags and honking and lights.

00:31:04.500 And I really felt like, I mean, I have been in cities where a great sporting victory has

00:31:09.000 happened and people pour it in the streets and just woo!

00:31:11.500 And like I thought, you know, I mean, I knew what I was there for.

00:31:18.060 But it really felt indistinguishable from like a city with a great cup victory.

00:31:22.940 Yep.

00:31:23.340 And the flags and the joy and the Canadian flags and people were singing, oh, Canada.

00:31:28.520 And there was a celebration feeling there.

00:31:31.420 And there was young guys who were excited, but there were families too.

00:31:34.340 To call that dire, I think that's like an inkblot test where this guy's projecting a

00:31:39.160 bit.

00:31:40.440 But here's the key line.

00:31:43.640 This is what I think made it so dire.

00:31:45.680 NACV says, I don't know if it was true, that there was a life-sized poster on a truck of

00:31:55.520 Hitler with your name on it.

00:32:00.920 Wow.

00:32:02.180 How does it feel when somebody calls you a Nazi?

00:32:05.780 Don't like it?

00:32:06.620 Yeah.

00:32:06.860 Yeah, that's how the convoy felt.

00:32:08.540 How do you like that?

00:32:09.600 So I think what that means, and it goes back to the very first clip we played of Trudeau.

00:32:13.880 Well, some protests he likes, some protests he doesn't.

00:32:19.220 Some protests are allowed to change public policy.

00:32:22.760 Others aren't.

00:32:24.320 And about using the word Hitler, the word Nazi, Justin Trudeau is allowed to call working

00:32:31.340 class Canadians, conservatives, skeptics, even calls us Nazis.

00:32:36.380 His disgraced former advisor, Gerald Butts, called us Nazis.

00:32:39.700 I'm Jewish, by the way.

00:32:40.640 So you can say Nazi when you're criticizing a conservative, even though it's completely

00:32:46.820 not true.

00:32:48.440 But God forbid someone who calls the martial law imposer, the I most admire communist China

00:32:56.420 for their basic dictatorship.

00:32:58.180 God forbid you call the sainted one.

00:33:02.360 You call dear leader a Nazi.

00:33:04.860 Well, that is a dire protest indeed.

00:33:07.180 And we'd better bring in martial law to stop those proles from getting the wrong idea. 1.00

00:33:13.740 Their protest is too dire, Sheila.

00:33:15.840 And you're allowed to call people Nazis, but you're only allowed to call the little people 1.00

00:33:21.340 and consider those Nazis.

00:33:22.500 Never call Trudeau a Nazi or he'll invoke martial law.

00:33:27.020 Don't you know the rules?

00:33:27.880 You know, Ezra, I used to think that the concept of white male fragility was just a leftist thing.

00:33:35.240 Like, I just thought that that was just a leftist thing that they leveled at conservatives all

00:33:40.220 the time.

00:33:40.780 But I'm witnessing it firsthand here from Justin Trudeau.

00:33:44.440 He was fine to call people all those names.

00:33:48.620 And the second he turned, it was turned back on him, his ego was so fragile, he couldn't

00:33:56.440 handle it.

00:33:56.980 And he used the most extraordinary powers of the state to silence them.

00:34:01.620 Incredible.

00:34:02.580 Well, Sheila, thank you for covering this, not just today, but you have been one of our

00:34:07.660 lead reporters on this subject.

00:34:09.380 William Diaz Berthium has been on the ground running to talk to the reporters.

00:34:13.360 He's done a great job.

00:34:14.360 But you have lifted the heaviest load with the live tweeting and the commentary and then

00:34:18.800 the nightly live streams.

00:34:20.860 Thank you so much for that.

00:34:21.680 I'm very proud of the whole team effort because I think if you add up all the different people

00:34:25.880 on the Rebel News team who worked for the truckercommission.com, that's our website,

00:34:31.080 truckercommission.com.

00:34:32.660 We had the Airbnb in Ottawa.

00:34:35.140 We had the reporters on the scene.

00:34:37.040 We had people cutting video clips all day, tweeting the live stream.

00:34:42.660 I think that probably 20 different people in our company had a hand in it in some way.

00:34:50.240 And thank you for being the lead reporter on it and running the live stream and tweeting

00:34:54.820 about it.

00:34:55.440 I think we did it justice.

00:34:57.320 I think that the commission itself achieved more than I thought it would.

00:35:01.920 I think generally the judge was good, I think.

00:35:04.800 I mean, we'll see what his rulings and his findings are.

00:35:08.420 I think the Justice Center lawyers did a great job.

00:35:10.840 Brendan Miller, I think, sort of fell apart at the end.

00:35:12.920 He got a little, I think he was just exhausted, frankly, and probably sleep deprived.

00:35:16.420 And I think he made some mistakes in the very end there.

00:35:19.080 But I don't think he was active today, was he?

00:35:21.340 The JCCF.

00:35:22.320 Not yet.

00:35:22.840 Yeah, I think they took him off the roster.

00:35:25.420 But I think that, I think he still was a great lawyer throughout.

00:35:28.940 And the JCCF lawyers and Alan Hohner of the Democracy Fund, I think they did great.

00:35:33.080 And without those freedom lawyers, the trucker lawyers, the JCCF lawyers, the Democracy Fund

00:35:38.200 lawyers, this would have been a very different thing, wouldn't it?

00:35:42.040 It would have been.

00:35:43.280 And special thanks to Keith Wilson and Eva Chipiak from the convoy, the convoy lawyers.

00:35:51.440 They were the two that were on the ground working to keep the convoy from getting just the full

00:35:58.140 Justin Trudeau, my favorite dictatorship treatment.

00:36:01.420 And they've been so generous with their time on our live streams, giving us the appropriate

00:36:06.220 legal analysis instead of the CBC, maybe it was Russians analysis that the mainstream media

00:36:12.300 is providing to everybody.

00:36:13.480 But I truly believe that our work on the Trucker Commission is simply an extension of the work

00:36:18.280 that we started back in January and February.

00:36:21.200 People look to us back then to tell the other side of the story.

00:36:24.720 And in this instance, the other side of the story is the full truth to show what was accurately

00:36:30.840 happening on the ground.

00:36:31.920 And we are continuing to do that by showing what's accurately happening in that commission

00:36:36.040 room in Ottawa.

00:36:37.200 It's a big job, but I think Canadians deserve it. 0.87

00:36:41.000 Yeah.

00:36:41.300 And you know, I feel like Rebel News and other independent journalists, citizen journalist,

00:36:46.440 Viva Fry, for example, the lawyer vlogger from Montreal, he did a great job in the trucker

00:36:52.600 commission in, sorry, in the trucker convoy itself back in February.

00:36:55.900 Yep.

00:36:56.440 And I think independent citizen journalists won the battle of ideas in February.

00:37:01.420 And this trucker commission was when the empire was going to strike back, when they were going

00:37:06.860 to try and revise history.

00:37:08.400 And I think that they failed largely.

00:37:11.200 I think that that was in part because the commission actually had the power to subpoena

00:37:14.680 documents and compel testimony.

00:37:16.960 I don't know about compel testimony, but certainly subpoena people's appearance.

00:37:19.780 And I don't think they got away with it.

00:37:23.040 I mean, of course, the regime media, every day I pick up the Toronto Star, I can't even

00:37:26.640 believe, am I in the same planet as these people?

00:37:29.460 Right.

00:37:29.660 Did you just see what I saw?

00:37:31.440 But again, I think that Rebel News and other independent media have such an important audience

00:37:37.980 now.

00:37:38.460 And they know you just can't trust the government media.

00:37:41.680 And I and I think that Rachel Gilmore, the TikTok girl from Global and Glenn McGregor

00:37:47.740 from CTV, I think they've so disgraced themselves that, you know, sure, they do have their, you

00:37:53.080 know, legacy audience that's just with them for pure inertia and out of habit.

00:38:00.060 But really, I think the trucker convoy and covering this commission, it was Rebel News

00:38:05.880 that dominated and that gave people, as our motto says, the other side of the story.

00:38:10.080 I'm very proud of our whole team.

00:38:11.940 Sheila, thanks for that.

00:38:12.700 And thanks for giving me half an hour of your time today.

00:38:15.400 You got it.

00:38:16.100 I've got to get back into the commission.

00:38:17.480 I think the lawyer for Alberta is up right now.

00:38:19.540 OK, we'll let you go.

00:38:20.420 There you have it.

00:38:20.940 Sheila Gunry, our chief reporter, and we'll let her get back to it.

00:38:24.480 As you know, we record the show a little bit earlier than we air it.

00:38:27.200 So as we record it, the commission of inquiry is still proceeding.

00:38:31.480 Stay with us.

00:38:32.020 Your Letters to Me next.

00:38:45.220 Hey, welcome back to Your Letters to Me.

00:38:46.880 Tom Brose says, are you still optimistic about the trucker commission?

00:38:50.180 After watching the judge today either scared or unwilling to rule on the redacting issue,

00:38:53.880 I certainly am not.

00:38:55.260 It seems that he is scared to upset his political masters by ruling against him on this issue,

00:38:58.700 which should have been done a long time ago in the interest of fairness.

00:39:02.620 And if they care about that, way too much political BS with no accountability at the

00:39:05.800 end, total waste of time.

00:39:08.200 Yeah, I don't share your view.

00:39:11.340 I in no way say it's a perfect process.

00:39:16.160 But I think it was a more transparent hearing and commission than we've ever had.

00:39:21.700 It was the most accountability Trudeau and his henchmen have ever had.

00:39:25.120 And to see actual passionate, partisan, freedom-oriented lawyers have a chance to take a run at Trudeau

00:39:32.580 is unprecedented.

00:39:34.720 I agree with you that the government was playing games and they knew that they could because

00:39:38.920 they knew they could run out the clock.

00:39:40.760 So their testimony was verbose.

00:39:43.580 They withheld documents.

00:39:45.140 And as Sheila pointed out, one of the documents was released at 1026 a.m.

00:39:49.940 after Trudeau started testifying an hour earlier.

00:39:52.340 So there's games for sure.

00:39:53.940 Certainly not a perfect process.

00:39:55.260 But I disagree with you.

00:39:56.340 I'm actually optimistic in this process.

00:39:58.640 And I'd be foolish to predict what the judge says, but I'm actually optimistic about him

00:40:03.760 too.

00:40:05.720 Merrill Michaelham says,

00:40:07.380 Hi, Ezra Trudeau's thespianism is like listening to a bedtime story, although I never felt nauseous

00:40:12.760 as a kid when I heard a bedtime story.

00:40:14.640 As for the alleged misidentification of the Nazi flag guy, it brings to mind the professor in

00:40:18.620 the U.S. that cracked a young man's skull, Trump supporter with a lock in the sock.

00:40:23.060 It was the computer nerds who searched on mass facial recognition images from previous

00:40:26.960 left-wing protests to match up with the perp who was arrested and convicted.

00:40:30.500 If I am wrong, I apologize.

00:40:32.200 Perhaps someone got a look and a pic of the Canadian version of Ray Epps.

00:40:35.680 Perhaps there is something we have yet to see.

00:40:38.240 As for Freeland, she is the epitome of where we are.

00:40:40.660 I heard her gramps with the Ukrainian Nazi. 0.94

00:40:43.000 That is an important road to be traveled.

00:40:44.600 Cheers.

00:40:44.820 Firstly, on Chrystia Freeland, it is not a matter of speculation.

00:40:50.080 It is a matter of fact that Chrystia Freeland has belatedly acknowledged that her father

00:40:54.280 actually was a Nazi, seized a Jewish newspaper, turned it into a Nazi propaganda machine. 0.52

00:41:00.280 And of course, I don't blame Chrystia Freeland for what her grandfather did before she was

00:41:03.840 even born.

00:41:04.640 But the fact that she hid that and that she herself has shown sympathies towards Stepan

00:41:10.140 Bandera, a Nazi, is deeply discouraging to me. 0.87

00:41:15.300 As to your other points, I'm not willing to...

00:41:20.620 I mean, listen, of course, I'm open to any facts.

00:41:23.100 But so far, absolutely zero facts have been presented to say that Brian Fox is the Nazi

00:41:28.560 flag guy.

00:41:29.560 You saw Sean Folks, the guy who's for the affidavit.

00:41:34.800 He met and spoke with a mass guy briefly in January, and then suddenly in November, he's

00:41:40.480 so sure of it, but only from seeing a website photo.

00:41:44.080 But remember the key thing that Sean Folks said when he talked about the Nazi guy back

00:41:48.440 in February?

00:41:50.080 The guy had a European accent.

00:41:52.280 That's not Brian Fox.

00:41:53.460 I think that Brendan Moore was so revved up and so desperate to get him that he sort of

00:42:00.260 did ready, shoot, aim instead of ready, aim, fire.

00:42:03.860 I think he got out of order there.

00:42:06.080 And as someone who was falsely being called names before by the left, I don't think we

00:42:11.000 should make that a habit on our side.

00:42:13.820 And I hope that Brendan Miller fixes that because I think he had generally an excellent month

00:42:18.560 at the commission.

00:42:20.160 Anyways, thanks for watching the show today.

00:42:22.740 And thanks to Sheila for covering things so meticulously.

00:42:26.300 And the rest of our team, Efron Monsanto, William Diaz Berthium, Celine Glass.

00:42:31.360 I'm not going to list everyone, Kian Simone, Sidney Fusard.

00:42:33.720 So many of our team rotated through Ottawa.

00:42:37.220 It was actually super fun to have that base camp there.

00:42:40.040 I'm going to miss it when we shut it down.

00:42:42.600 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,

00:42:46.940 good night.

00:42:48.020 And keep fighting for freedom.

00:42:49.120 With the Public Order Emergency Commission wrapping up this week, I thought it was the perfect

00:42:54.000 time for me to present to you this story.

00:42:56.620 For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Emergency Commission, this is an inquiry into

00:43:01.180 the circumstances that led to the declaration of the Emergency Act that dismantled the Trucker's

00:43:06.580 Convoy in Ottawa.

00:43:07.660 Jaskinwall Singh attended the Trucker's Convoy with his friends to stand in solidarity with

00:43:12.440 his fellow Canadians who were protesting COVID mandates at the time.

00:43:16.340 Unfortunately, just like many other Canadians, Jaskinwall was on the receiving end of heavy

00:43:21.840 police force on the final days of the convoy, which ultimately led to his arrest.

00:43:27.360 Now, I'm going to show you the footage from the incident.

00:43:29.940 There's a lot going on, but if you look closely, you can see Jaskinwall, who is the man with

00:43:34.560 the orange turban and orange flag, be pulled behind the police line.

00:43:39.280 Check out the footage.

00:43:40.000 Don't resist, guys, don't resist.

00:43:41.920 Don't resist.

00:43:42.960 Back up.

00:43:43.460 Back up.

00:43:45.020 Don't look at this guy.

00:43:46.200 Look at this guy.

00:43:46.900 Yeah.

00:43:51.920 Don't resist.

00:43:52.760 Don't resist, guys.

00:43:54.060 Come on.

00:43:55.200 Don't resist.

00:43:57.240 Don't resist.

00:43:58.340 Don't resist.

00:44:00.960 Don't resist.

00:44:02.480 Don't resist.

00:44:03.340 Come on, guys, come on.

00:44:06.000 Don't resist, guys.

00:44:07.520 Oh

00:44:09.520 Oh

00:44:11.520 Like I said, there's a lot going on in the video

00:44:37.420 It's hard to make out what exactly is happening

00:44:39.820 That's why I caught up with Jaskunwal in Toronto

00:44:42.760 Where he shared with me his side of the story

00:44:45.020 And what exactly happened that day

00:44:47.300 My name is Jaskunwal Singh

00:44:49.100 I'm 32 years old and I'm from Toronto

00:44:51.160 A little bit about me

00:44:52.820 I have a legal background

00:44:54.500 I went to the University of Ottawa for law school

00:44:56.500 Before that, I went to York University for criminology

00:44:59.260 I have a passion for upholding human rights

00:45:02.540 And for speaking the truth

00:45:04.500 And also finding out the truth in life

00:45:06.680 In all areas of life

00:45:07.700 The last few years have definitely been confusing for many people

00:45:11.200 My friends and I did see on social media

00:45:13.640 The way the protest was going was far different

00:45:16.140 Than what mainstream media was showing

00:45:17.640 The last few years was confusing for people in terms of the pandemic

00:45:20.640 The lockdowns, mandates, the social isolation

00:45:23.640 Job losses, access to society

00:45:26.160 And we wanted to go see what was going on with the protesters in Ottawa

00:45:30.060 And to see their version of events and see what was going on there

00:45:33.600 We were there in Ottawa in the spirit of democracy, civil discourse

00:45:36.600 And just coming to an understanding of what was going on politically, economically and socially

00:45:40.600 Coming from an immigrant background

00:45:42.600 My parents, they are immigrants who came from India

00:45:44.600 So coming from that background

00:45:45.600 They sacrificed a lot when they came to Canada

00:45:48.600 They worked hard

00:45:49.600 A lot of Sikhs were Canadian soldiers who sacrificed for this country

00:45:52.600 So through blue collar jobs, through the world wars 0.60

00:45:55.600 There was a lot of sacrifices that Sikhs made

00:45:57.600 And in honour of that, we wanted to do our best to understand what was going on in this country

00:46:01.600 Because it's important for us to honour those sacrifices

00:46:04.600 Not just from the Sikh background, but from all backgrounds in Canada

00:46:08.600 Who have defended our rights and freedoms

00:46:10.600 And who have made Canada the place it is today

00:46:13.600 So because of that, we also found it important to be there

00:46:16.600 The protest was vilified and the protesters were maligned by politicians

00:46:22.600 Who called them extremist, racist, misogynistic

00:46:25.600 And my friends and I drew parallels to other countries

00:46:28.600 Where the governments and media would do the same thing

00:46:31.600 For example, for Sikhs back home who fight for their human rights

00:46:35.600 In relation to things such as the farmers' protest

00:46:38.600 They were called Khalistani extremists

00:46:40.600 So we saw a parallel where whenever a protest was happening

00:46:44.600 Whenever there were citizens that wanted to voice their concerns

00:46:47.600 The first thing the media and the government would do

00:46:49.600 Is to malign them and stigmatise them

00:46:52.600 So the public would dismiss the validity of their concerns

00:46:54.600 We saw it important, really important

00:46:56.600 For us to find out the truth

00:46:58.600 And for us to see what was going on

00:47:00.600 And to hear the concerns of protestors

00:47:02.600 And to voice our own concerns

00:47:04.600 In Sikhi, it is crucial for Sangith to come together

00:47:07.600 Sangith is the gathering of people 0.97

00:47:09.600 The gathering of spiritually aligned people

00:47:11.600 To focus on spiritual values, principles of life

00:47:14.600 And to come together as one

00:47:17.600 This was hard to do during the lockdowns

00:47:19.600 During the pandemic

00:47:20.600 As people were socially isolated

00:47:22.600 It's important that we remain vigilant as Sikhs

00:47:24.600 Of our social, legal and political structures

00:47:26.600 Because inevitably they have an impact upon us

00:47:30.600 They have an impact upon the ways we perceive the reality that we're in

00:47:33.600 The ways in which we interact with others

00:47:35.600 And the ways in which we can access our social institutions

00:47:38.600 And even religious institutions

00:47:40.600 That were also impacted during the lockdowns

00:47:42.600 Contrary to what the media was showing

00:47:44.600 When we arrived in Ottawa

00:47:46.600 There was nothing but love, peace, compassion and unity

00:47:49.600 People were there to voice their concerns

00:47:51.600 And for the first time

00:47:53.600 They had people who were listening to their stories

00:47:55.600 Albeit that they were fellow Canadians 0.99

00:47:57.600 And not the politicians who were sworn to protect us

00:48:00.600 And to listen to Canadian concerns

00:48:02.600 The atmosphere there meant that there was a place of unity

00:48:06.600 And understanding where people felt heard

00:48:09.600 And people felt as if there was a place that they could heal

00:48:13.600 A place where they weren't judged for what they believed

00:48:16.600 And a place where people voiced what made them passionate

00:48:20.600 To come to Ottawa from all over the country 0.97

00:48:23.600 Whether this was because politicians were being hypocritical 0.73

00:48:26.600 Of the policies they set out

00:48:28.600 And were going against safety guidelines

00:48:30.600 That they told the citizens to follow

00:48:32.600 Or whether people had individual concerns

00:48:35.600 Over how the jabs might have impacted people they knew

00:48:39.600 On the day of my arrest, which was February 19, 2022

00:48:43.600 A few hours before my arrest

00:48:45.600 My friends and I were being peaceful with the police

00:48:47.600 We were talking to them, engaging with them

00:48:49.600 In democratic dialogue

00:48:51.600 There was a Toronto police officer who fist bumped me

00:48:54.600 There were my friends who were giving snacks to police officers

00:48:57.600 A few friends of mine who were hugging the police officer

00:49:00.600 One police officer in particular

00:49:01.600 And being there in the spirit of Sikhi

00:49:03.600 Of spirituality, of love, of oneness

00:49:05.600 Coming to an understanding

00:49:06.600 That's what protest is about

00:49:08.600 That's what peaceful protest is about

00:49:10.600 And that's what we were engaging in

00:49:11.600 As cops would move forward

00:49:14.600 Everyone would be backing up

00:49:16.600 This became routine

00:49:17.600 Every 20 minutes or so

00:49:18.600 The cops would march forward

00:49:20.600 And there's various police forces that were together

00:49:23.600 They would march forward

00:49:24.600 We would march backwards

00:49:25.600 A certain group of officers who were unnamed

00:49:28.600 No badge number

00:49:29.600 Wearing olive green

00:49:30.600 They were more aggressive

00:49:32.600 And as we were backing up

00:49:34.600 One of them lunged forward out of nowhere

00:49:36.600 Even though I was backing up

00:49:38.600 My Nishansa, which is a religious Sikh flag

00:49:40.600 It was slung over my shoulder

00:49:42.600 Pointing backwards

00:49:43.600 Not towards them

00:49:44.600 As I was backing up

00:49:45.600 Even turning away from them to leave

00:49:47.600 One of them lunged forward

00:49:49.600 And grabbed the flag from my hands

00:49:51.600 As I was holding it

00:49:54.600 I was yanked forward

00:49:55.600 So I was pushed

00:49:56.600 Or pulled rather

00:49:57.600 Yanked

00:49:58.600 And I was holding onto the flag

00:50:00.600 And as soon as I got yanked forward

00:50:01.600 Into the police ranks

00:50:03.600 I was attacked from multiple angles

00:50:04.600 By multiple police officers

00:50:06.600 I was thrown to the ground

00:50:07.600 I fell face first

00:50:08.600 Hitting my head

00:50:09.600 Police officers ganged up on me 0.97

00:50:11.600 Kneed me in my back

00:50:12.600 Kneed me in my ribs 0.99

00:50:13.600 Punched me in my face 0.97

00:50:15.600 My turban was ripped off

00:50:17.600 But also a kanga

00:50:18.600 Which is a wooden comb

00:50:19.600 That's in my turban

00:50:21.600 That was also thrown to the ground

00:50:22.600 The religious flag

00:50:24.600 Was thrown to the ground

00:50:25.600 My kirpaan

00:50:26.600 Which is another symbol of faith

00:50:28.600 That was cut off me

00:50:30.600 Without any indication of

00:50:32.600 How to treat it

00:50:33.600 Without me being asked

00:50:34.600 How to handle any of these

00:50:35.600 Religious symbols of faith

00:50:36.600 And articles of faith

00:50:37.600 As I was laying on the floor

00:50:39.600 Not resisting

00:50:40.600 Being attacked

00:50:41.600 A police officer had their knee

00:50:43.600 Dug deep into my back

00:50:44.600 Multiple officers were on top of me

00:50:46.600 Still hitting me

00:50:47.600 And as I was handcuffed

00:50:49.600 I wasn't even told my rights

00:50:50.600 I wasn't told I was under arrest

00:50:52.600 I was on the ground for four minutes

00:50:54.600 There was a lady that even yelled out 1.00

00:50:56.600 As you can see from a protester video

00:50:58.600 How long are you going to keep him on the floor?

00:51:00.600 How long is that?

00:51:01.600 It keeps you on the ground

00:51:02.600 I couldn't breathe

00:51:04.600 After a certain while

00:51:05.600 It's minus 40 with windchill

00:51:06.600 I have asthma

00:51:07.600 The cops are still

00:51:08.600 Putting immense pressure on my back

00:51:10.600 I screamed out that I can't breathe

00:51:12.600 And the response was

00:51:13.600 Well, if you can talk

00:51:14.600 You can breathe, buddy

00:51:15.600 And yeah, sure, bud

00:51:16.600 I was disgraced

00:51:17.600 I was humiliated

00:51:18.600 I was robbed of my

00:51:20.600 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

00:51:22.600 I sustained injuries

00:51:23.600 There was cuts and bruises

00:51:24.600 And lacerations

00:51:25.600 On my face and my back

00:51:26.600 I had an MRI

00:51:27.600 Which revealed disc damage

00:51:29.600 I'm still not able to go back

00:51:31.600 To my normal physical activities

00:51:33.600 I had knee injuries

00:51:34.600 That were sustained afterwards too

00:51:35.600 After being taken to a police cruiser

00:51:37.600 And put into a police van

00:51:39.600 Where there was multiple protesters

00:51:42.600 Fit into a van

00:51:43.600 We were not taken to an actual police station

00:51:46.600 But a temporary type of station

00:51:48.600 That they must have made for the protesters

00:51:50.600 We were just taken there

00:51:51.600 We were not told where

00:51:52.600 Once we were released

00:51:54.600 It was cold

00:51:55.600 It was freezing

00:51:56.600 I saw Jo Walsh

00:51:57.600 She was arrested and released 0.82

00:51:58.600 I went over to her

00:51:59.600 I asked her if she needed a ride

00:52:00.600 I told her, you know

00:52:01.600 I'll make sure she gets home safe

00:52:03.600 We were just released out in the cold

00:52:04.600 There was videos that my friends made

00:52:06.600 Where after I was taken away

00:52:08.600 They were asking for the Nishansa back 0.91

00:52:10.600 It was thrown to the floor

00:52:12.600 And left on the floor

00:52:13.600 They dropped the Nishansa

00:52:15.600 They dropped the Khanda on the ground 0.99

00:52:17.600 They fully well know it's on the ground

00:52:19.600 That's their religious flag

00:52:21.600 And they will not give it back to us

00:52:23.600 My friends were not given it

00:52:24.600 In fact, it was not even picked up

00:52:26.600 And put upright

00:52:27.600 It was left laying on the floor

00:52:29.600 Where people could walk all over it

00:52:31.600 Trample all over it

00:52:32.600 Despite the fact there were dozens

00:52:33.600 And dozens of cops

00:52:35.600 Free, idly walking by

00:52:37.600 My friends were told

00:52:38.600 They weren't free

00:52:39.600 And they weren't able to

00:52:40.600 Currently give the flag back

00:52:41.600 Everybody's tied up

00:52:42.600 We can't get your flag

00:52:43.600 This is a busy spot

00:52:44.600 Look where you are right now

00:52:46.600 If I didn't have a working phone

00:52:48.600 I wouldn't have been able to ping my friends

00:52:50.600 And send them the pin of where I was

00:52:52.600 So I was charged with public mischief

00:52:54.600 Resisting arrest

00:52:55.600 And disobeying a lawful order

00:52:57.600 I'm currently still awaiting full disclosure

00:52:59.600 There was a CCTV camera

00:53:01.600 At the intersection of Bank Street

00:53:03.600 And Wellington Street

00:53:04.600 That's where the unlawful arrest took place

00:53:06.600 I still am awaiting that disclosure

00:53:08.600 And footage

00:53:09.600 I haven't received that from the city

00:53:11.600 They are withholding that still

00:53:12.600 My lawyer has advised me

00:53:14.600 That they are putting forth a deal

00:53:16.600 Where if I plead guilty

00:53:17.600 I can receive a discharge

00:53:19.600 That will work in my favour

00:53:21.600 In terms of

00:53:22.600 I'm actually, as I mentioned earlier

00:53:23.600 A graduate of the Law School of Ottawa

00:53:25.600 My licence from the Law Society of Ontario

00:53:28.600 Even though my requirements are fulfilled

00:53:30.600 That licence is pending

00:53:32.600 Until this investigation

00:53:34.600 And this case is cleared up

00:53:35.600 So because of the protest

00:53:36.600 Because of the unlawful arrest

00:53:38.600 Because of the Emergencies Act

00:53:40.600 And the way it was unlawfully used

00:53:42.600 The way in which the police officers

00:53:43.600 Took advantage

00:53:44.600 And unlawfully, arbitrarily arrested and beat me

00:53:47.600 I'm now suffering from a career perspective

00:53:50.600 Because I can't practice law

00:53:51.600 My licence is not being given out yet

00:53:54.600 The Law Society is withholding that

00:53:56.600 Until this is all cleared up

00:53:57.600 And I can take that plea

00:53:59.600 For a guilty plea

00:54:00.600 But it goes against my conscience

00:54:01.600 To plead guilty

00:54:02.600 To have a discharge

00:54:04.600 Even though it will clear me on my record

00:54:06.600 And the Law Society will admit me

00:54:08.600 For being a lawyer

00:54:10.600 If I take that discharge

00:54:11.600 It goes against my conscience

00:54:12.600 To plead guilty

00:54:13.600 And to speak a lie

00:54:15.600 Of such a degree

00:54:16.600 Into the universe

00:54:17.600 Where I know in my heart

00:54:19.600 I was just practising my legal rights

00:54:21.600 The cops unlawfully arrested and beat me

00:54:23.600 And there is nothing for me to be guilty about

00:54:26.600 To the political leaders

00:54:27.600 To the police involved

00:54:28.600 You guys have taken and sworn a public oath

00:54:31.600 A duty to Canadian citizens

00:54:33.600 To listen to our concerns

00:54:35.600 To fight for Canadian rights

00:54:37.600 To uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

00:54:39.600 At every turn

00:54:40.600 You failed to listen to protestors

00:54:43.600 You failed to listen to Canadians 1.00

00:54:45.600 You failed to take into consideration

00:54:47.600 What people want

00:54:49.600 What people are voicing

00:54:51.600 You failed to take into consideration

00:54:53.600 The mental health issues

00:54:54.600 The social isolation

00:54:55.600 The inability to access society

00:54:58.600 For many people based on a private medical decision

00:55:00.600 By now, I think it's clear

00:55:02.600 There's more going on behind the scenes

00:55:04.600 That you would care to admit

00:55:05.600 But my hope

00:55:06.600 Is that you can find

00:55:07.600 Any sense of your conscience

00:55:09.600 Of your conscience

00:55:10.600 That is still left

00:55:11.600 To pay back

00:55:12.600 All the hurt

00:55:13.600 And pain

00:55:14.600 And suffering

00:55:15.600 And trauma

00:55:16.600 That you have induced upon

00:55:17.600 The Canadian population

00:55:18.600 And that you will continue to do so

00:55:20.600 If you don't own up

00:55:22.600 And be accountable

00:55:23.600 For everything that you have done

00:55:25.600 For the last few years

00:55:26.600 When one is initiated as a Khalsa 0.99

00:55:28.600 Which is an initiated Sikh 1.00

00:55:30.600 That is committed to a spiritual path

00:55:32.600 Of following the Guru's teachings

00:55:34.600 Defend humanity

00:55:35.600 The very first thing they are asked

00:55:37.600 Is whether this was a decision

00:55:39.600 That is free

00:55:40.600 A decision that is informed

00:55:42.600 A decision that is not dealing with undue pressure

00:55:46.600 Blackmail, force 0.68

00:55:48.600 Or anything that would take away from a clear conscience

00:55:51.600 This is something that should be done with moral courage

00:55:54.600 This is something that should be done with a free mind

00:55:56.600 So the principles of Sikhi go against coercion

00:55:59.600 They go against compromising one's ability

00:56:02.600 To make a decision with a free conscience

00:56:04.600 Informed consent is huge

00:56:06.600 Consent is huge

00:56:07.600 When it comes to matters

00:56:09.600 Especially when it comes to matters

00:56:10.600 That are of private concern

00:56:13.600 Medically or spiritually

00:56:14.600 So this is something that we must uphold

00:56:17.600 This is something that I

00:56:18.600 As an initiated Sikh uphold

00:56:20.600 And these principles are not just principles for Sikhi

00:56:23.600 But for humanity

00:56:25.600 In my faith

00:56:26.600 Religious symbols of our faith

00:56:29.600 And religious articles of faith

00:56:31.600 Are treated with the utmost respect

00:56:33.600 The fact that the cops unlawfully grabbed me

00:56:36.600 Threw me down

00:56:37.600 And arrested me

00:56:38.600 While disrespecting the sanctity of these articles of faith

00:56:41.600 Meant that I couldn't give them the proper respect

00:56:44.600 That I wanted to

00:56:46.600 I want to apologize to my fellow Sikhs 1.00

00:56:48.600 For not being able to do so

00:56:49.600 In many ways

00:56:50.600 My respect for Canadian democracy

00:56:52.600 And the rights we have

00:56:53.600 It tied in with my journey back towards my faith

00:56:57.600 A few years ago

00:56:58.600 I started wearing my turban again

00:57:00.600 A few years ago

00:57:01.600 Even though I cut my hair when I was 10

00:57:03.600 And I stopped wearing a turban back then

00:57:05.600 And that led me down a path of confusion

00:57:08.600 Where I wasn't able to balance my identities

00:57:10.600 As both a Canadian and as a Sikh

00:57:12.600 But finding that passion

00:57:14.600 Finding the love for democracy

00:57:16.600 The love for the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

00:57:19.600 I handled both those identities

00:57:21.600 By going forward

00:57:22.600 With both the conviction of a Sikh 1.00

00:57:24.600 And the passion of a Canadian

00:57:26.600 To help our Canadian society

00:57:28.600 But when my turban was ripped off

00:57:30.600 And I was laying there on the floor

00:57:32.600 I was not able to comprehend

00:57:34.600 Just how brutal this attack was

00:57:37.600 On both my identity as a Sikh

00:57:39.600 And as a Canadian

00:57:40.600 I was there to defend

00:57:42.600 The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

00:57:44.600 And celebrate the fact that I could do so

00:57:46.600 As a turban-wearing Sikh

00:57:48.600 But the government showed

00:57:50.600 That they were willing to trample upon

00:57:52.600 Religious rights, protest rights 0.96

00:57:54.600 And so much more

00:57:56.600 In the name of maintaining

00:57:58.600 Whatever power and stranglehold

00:58:00.600 They want over Canadian society 0.91
