00:00:00.000 Tonight, an update from Calgary. That's the Saddledome.
00:00:03.180 It's September 19th, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:08.880 Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:00:20.480 Oh, hi, everybody. It is so sunny here. I can barely keep my eyes open.
00:00:24.580 Behind me, the Olympic Saddledome.
00:00:25.980 And now behind me is the location, the conference center, where we unify, is having a get-together.
00:00:34.180 It's an interesting mix of people who care about freedom from different perspectives,
00:00:38.420 especially from the COVID perspective, the personal health perspective.
00:00:42.300 I was invited to speak on a panel and to give a speech.
00:00:45.220 I gave some remarks about citizen journalism, talking about three important historical moments
00:00:50.080 where citizen journalism really made a difference.
00:00:52.260 The first one, of course, being the Canadian truckers.
00:00:55.140 The second one, being the Farmers' Rebellion in the Netherlands.
00:00:58.720 And the third one, just last week, Tommy Robinson's massive rally in the UK.
00:01:04.540 I was excited to be in there. I was also on a panel, including with Dr. Bruce Pardy.
00:01:10.240 But I really want to tell you about yesterday's gathering.
00:01:13.560 By the way, there's so many conferences going on in Calgary. It's very exciting.
00:01:17.500 I suppose you could go to a conference every week and still not cover them all.
00:01:22.580 Last night was not a conference, so it was a genuine birthday party at Rebel News.
00:01:27.960 I mean, we turned 10 years old a few months ago, but we had a celebration in Calgary.
00:01:31.700 We had a dinner. We had the reception.
00:01:34.240 Tamara Leach and her band played. It was amazing.
00:01:37.760 It was a lot of fun.
00:01:39.020 Without further ado here, take a look at some of the video from last night.
00:01:42.080 One more time. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
00:01:49.260 Happy birthday, Airwork Rebel. Happy birthday. Happy 10 years, Rebel.
00:01:56.460 There you go. That's what we're talking about.
00:01:59.260 Great to see you. Thank you so much.
00:02:02.220 Thank you for coming to our birthday party.
00:02:04.400 Lots of friends here that have been with Ford, lots of people around Canada, and even around the world.
00:02:13.160 On our cruises, on our recent trip to the UK, a lot of people love Rebel because it's more than just the news.
00:02:21.040 It's telling the other side of the story.
00:02:23.040 We really live up to our motto, and we don't stop at just telling the news.
00:02:27.020 Every once in a while, we stop and try and fix the news.
00:02:30.980 Whether it's a fight-the-files project, or defending churches that were prosecuted during the lockdown,
00:02:40.920 or helping our dear friend Tamara Leach, who has been the subject.
00:02:45.920 And I'm going to introduce her in a minute.
00:02:51.800 Ten years has gone by in a flash. I've aged 20.
00:02:56.180 But I feel like we've made a difference in this country.
00:02:58.900 When we started, the regime media laughed at us.
00:03:03.180 But they're not laughing now.
00:03:05.120 And when Rebel News was a lonely other voice of dissent,
00:03:09.720 now we're joined by other independent journalists.
00:03:13.040 And I saw my friend Derek Fildebrandt from Western Standard here.
00:03:17.000 Derek, if you're in the room, put up your hand.
00:03:20.380 Derek, thanks for being here.
00:03:21.820 Earlier today, I saw my friend Kian Bexty from Juneau.
00:03:29.640 So Rebel News is not alone, and you're not alone.
00:03:33.500 I think that one of the most important services we do,
00:03:36.920 besides telling the other side of the story,
00:03:39.160 is letting you know that if the whole world says you're wrong,
00:03:44.080 you can still be right.
00:03:46.000 I see my friend John Carpe from the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom.
00:03:53.320 Thank you, John.
00:04:01.040 And Sarah, who are you pointing to over there?
00:04:04.280 Sarah, one of our lawyers at the Democracy Fund.
00:04:07.120 Chris Barber.
00:04:08.280 Chris Barber.
00:04:09.340 Chris and Chimera were supposed to be run over.
00:04:18.520 They were supposed to be bulldozed.
00:04:20.300 But they had a different plan in mind, didn't they?
00:04:23.020 They stood up, not just for themselves,
00:04:25.680 but in standing up for themselves,
00:04:27.180 they stood up for all of us as well.
00:04:29.180 And we're grateful to them.
00:04:30.600 They've given up years of their life
00:04:32.520 in this Kafka-esque process.
00:04:35.520 But I'm delighted that they continue to fight like hell.
00:04:40.240 A little bit later, we're going to play a video,
00:04:43.360 a compilation,
00:04:44.640 sort of some highlights of the last 10 years,
00:04:47.520 and some lowlights,
00:04:48.740 because that's part of the story too.
00:04:50.600 But for now, let's celebrate.
00:04:52.960 And it's my great pleasure to interview,
00:04:55.160 to introduce someone who's become a true friend.
00:04:57.760 Someone who I only knew from my TV,
00:04:59.980 because I had never met her
00:05:01.060 until after she was arrested.
00:05:03.800 But over the course of time,
00:05:05.900 I've gotten to know how lucky we all were
00:05:08.360 to have her as the face and the heart
00:05:11.940 of the trucker movement.
00:05:14.400 And I'm grateful for the opportunity
00:05:17.680 I've had to get to know you and work with you.
00:05:20.260 Without further ado,
00:05:21.880 let me introduce you to a friend of mine
00:05:23.720 and a great rebel
00:05:24.980 and a great rock and roller
00:05:27.200 to Merrilee.
00:05:28.840 How are you guys?
00:05:42.500 Let's get a second here,
00:05:43.880 and we'll be all set up.
00:05:44.620 That's funny.
00:05:51.660 I only saw Ezra on my TV too
00:05:53.720 until after I was arrested.
00:05:55.420 I even sent him a friend request
00:05:57.080 like in about 2019,
00:05:59.380 and he still hasn't responded.
00:06:00.700 How was dinner?
00:06:13.100 Awesome.
00:06:16.660 We just drove in from medicine
00:06:18.280 and not this morning.
00:06:19.440 We'll call it Saskatchewan, actually.
00:06:21.660 I've got to introduce you guys.
00:06:23.160 Well, most of you have seen
00:06:24.200 or met my husband, Dwayne, before,
00:06:26.140 the guitar player.
00:06:26.920 And we spent, well, two things.
00:06:33.200 We spent COVID in Manitoba.
00:06:36.520 We went out to work on a farm with my daughter.
00:06:38.280 I've told that story a million times.
00:06:40.020 And Craig was our drummer.
00:06:41.200 We broke all the laws
00:06:42.900 and went to his garage once a week.
00:06:45.680 Jammed his garage.
00:06:47.640 And the neighbors never even turned us in.
00:06:49.740 So Craig Atkinson,
00:06:51.440 welcome to the West.
00:06:53.040 Welcome to Alberta.
00:06:53.960 Welcome to Alberta.
00:06:56.920 You guys are so quiet.
00:07:18.360 Goodbye.
00:07:18.840 Left a good job in the city
00:07:37.760 Working for the man every night and day
00:07:44.700 But I never lost a little sleeper
00:07:50.720 Running out the way things might have been
00:07:55.400 Big wheels keep on turning
00:07:59.660 I sit proud, baby, keep on loving
00:08:04.940 Rolling
00:08:07.480 Rebel News
00:08:09.440 Been around for 10 years
00:08:10.260 What's been
00:08:10.820 What are some of your favorite moments
00:08:12.460 of reporting that
00:08:13.700 I think my favorite reporting
00:08:16.220 would have to be
00:08:17.080 the trucker convoy
00:08:18.180 because I was there
00:08:19.900 I saw a lot of what was going on
00:08:21.560 and how the mainstream media
00:08:23.560 was reporting
00:08:24.260 It was just
00:08:24.860 factually untrue
00:08:26.580 So
00:08:27.340 you know
00:08:28.080 when we were looking at Rebel
00:08:29.280 and what you guys were doing out there
00:08:30.740 you guys were actually
00:08:31.560 talking to the people
00:08:32.500 talking to the crowd
00:08:33.420 seeing what was going on
00:08:34.480 and reporting it honestly
00:08:37.440 Which I just appreciated
00:08:38.800 because it was
00:08:40.560 not a fringe majority
00:08:41.680 as people know
00:08:42.560 and it was peaceful
00:08:44.080 and
00:08:45.040 it was like a big block party really
00:08:46.640 you know
00:08:47.040 being down there
00:08:47.680 it was great
00:08:48.480 I really enjoyed it
00:08:49.520 Highlights would be
00:08:50.480 everything that they show
00:08:51.360 that's the truth
00:08:52.720 Yeah
00:08:53.040 especially the over-covid period
00:08:55.200 It's the truth
00:08:56.320 and it's
00:08:57.360 it's a little sad that
00:08:58.640 the mainstream media and stuff
00:08:59.760 has steered us in the direction
00:09:00.880 to hate everything else
00:09:01.920 and only believe what they say
00:09:03.520 so we're all
00:09:04.480 we won't
00:09:04.960 they're training us to be like robots
00:09:06.240 sort of thing
00:09:07.040 and just not all about that
00:09:08.400 sort of thing
00:09:08.800 and
00:09:09.440 all you have to do is
00:09:10.080 five minutes of research
00:09:10.880 sort of thing
00:09:11.360 and then you get the real numbers
00:09:12.560 the real truth and everything
00:09:14.000 and then it just all makes sense
00:09:15.280 sort of thing
00:09:15.840 and stuff
00:09:16.160 and then censoring
00:09:17.440 American news and stuff
00:09:18.800 even what Trump has to say
00:09:19.920 and everything
00:09:20.800 and
00:09:21.280 paint him as the enemy
00:09:22.880 and that's how they win an election
00:09:24.480 sort of thing here
00:09:25.280 and it's
00:09:25.920 he's the guy we need to be on the side with
00:09:27.760 and look up to more
00:09:28.800 but
00:09:29.360 I guess that's not the case to stuff anymore
00:09:30.960 yeah
00:09:31.600 Oh I love it
00:09:32.560 like it's
00:09:33.280 I've been to some of the events
00:09:34.480 we had an event here a while ago
00:09:35.760 about
00:09:36.320 two months ago
00:09:37.760 great speakers
00:09:38.800 great speakers
00:09:40.560 the continued
00:09:41.600 freedom
00:09:42.240 freedom of speech in Canada
00:09:43.680 I think that's the most important
00:09:46.160 the values
00:09:47.040 and the
00:09:49.040 work that all of rebel stands behind
00:09:51.120 fighting that liberal government
00:09:53.840 the non-stop
00:09:54.640 and making sure that our conservatives
00:09:57.040 pull through
00:09:58.000 I think conservatives are
00:10:01.040 better at managing our country
00:10:02.560 better at managing money
00:10:03.840 our funding
00:10:05.040 and hopefully in the future
00:10:06.480 get our generations after generations
00:10:08.640 out of debt
00:10:09.920 well I really started watching rebel
00:10:12.080 constantly
00:10:12.880 obviously
00:10:13.680 during the trucker convoy
00:10:14.800 I mean
00:10:15.680 I didn't even
00:10:16.320 I mean I'd heard of it
00:10:17.280 and I knew of a girl
00:10:18.400 who used to work with Ezra
00:10:19.680 at I think it was like the western standard
00:10:23.360 but yeah
00:10:24.080 I had no idea about rebel news
00:10:25.680 and when I saw the reporting that you guys do
00:10:27.600 it's truthful
00:10:28.640 it's honest
00:10:29.680 you speak plain language to people
00:10:31.760 they can understand
00:10:33.440 it's much better than what the mainstream does
00:10:35.280 well it's been lots of great coverage
00:10:39.440 one of the clips that I really
00:10:41.120 that really horrifies me
00:10:42.640 every time they play it
00:10:43.840 is when Alexa got shot
00:10:45.840 by the RCMP
00:10:47.920 because that stream
00:10:49.680 it just rips right through me
00:10:51.120 shakedown
00:10:54.400 and the oven was
00:10:55.920 ethical oil
00:10:58.800 and nobody understands
00:11:01.360 why the mainstream media
00:11:03.600 doesn't want to talk to him
00:11:04.800 it's because he's done his research
00:11:07.040 and he's made books
00:11:08.080 a couple
00:11:08.800 and all these people
00:11:10.400 like CBC
00:11:11.440 journalists
00:11:13.760 who've never written anything
00:11:15.280 who've just been hired
00:11:16.240 on the basis of how
00:11:18.400 how well they can be bent
00:11:21.440 can poo poo him 0.92
00:11:22.480 you know
00:11:22.800 it's like he's written lots of books
00:11:24.160 he knows what he's doing
00:11:25.120 he knows what he talks about
00:11:26.640 he doesn't waste his time
00:11:28.000 like they do
00:11:29.040 making up stories
00:11:29.920 he finds what's really going on
00:11:31.600 and I appreciate that kind of
00:11:34.400 that media approach
00:11:35.440 that you're not beholden
00:11:37.200 to the narrative
00:11:38.560 of whoever's holding the narrative
00:11:40.480 at the time
00:11:41.520 and looking
00:11:42.320 you know
00:11:42.960 that's looking back
00:11:43.600 at the last 10 years
00:11:44.480 looking into the 10 years
00:11:45.600 ahead of us
00:11:46.160 what's your message
00:11:46.800 to rebel news
00:11:47.520 and that's really
00:11:48.320 keep doing what you're doing
00:11:50.080 you guys are doing fantastic
00:11:51.360 you know
00:11:51.600 really appreciate
00:11:52.240 all the hard work you guys do
00:11:53.680 and let's face it
00:11:54.480 you take a beating
00:11:55.040 a lot of the time
00:11:55.680 so we really appreciate it
00:11:57.760 keep up what they're doing
00:11:59.280 I don't listen to
00:11:59.920 mainstream media at all anymore
00:12:01.280 so this is it
00:12:01.920 this is it
00:12:02.320 this is where we get our news
00:12:03.280 from is social media
00:12:04.640 rebel news being part of it
00:12:06.240 hope to see
00:12:07.040 push for more truth
00:12:08.080 and stuff
00:12:08.640 and really the
00:12:09.680 Alberta project of
00:12:10.640 sovereignty and everything
00:12:12.160 I really think
00:12:12.720 we need to really
00:12:13.440 really evaluate Canada
00:12:14.880 and really get
00:12:15.680 actual facts going to
00:12:16.640 younger people
00:12:17.600 I noticed that
00:12:18.320 even going to work
00:12:19.280 and stuff
00:12:20.160 demographic category
00:12:21.520 18 to 35 ages
00:12:24.000 is the problem
00:12:25.040 and they are just
00:12:26.320 so suckered in
00:12:27.360 unfortunately to say
00:12:28.320 it's just
00:12:28.880 left wing
00:12:29.600 heavy left wing
00:12:30.320 medium stuff
00:12:31.600 and they just
00:12:32.960 don't want to
00:12:33.760 listen to an opinion
00:12:34.480 of mine
00:12:34.880 up here
00:12:35.280 let me
00:12:36.400 let me give you
00:12:37.680 let me give you a stat
00:12:38.480 and say
00:12:38.800 what do you think
00:12:39.360 sort of thing
00:12:39.840 and it's just
00:12:40.480 it goes right over the
00:12:41.280 head
00:12:41.520 sort of thing
00:12:42.000 and I really want
00:12:42.880 rebel news to just
00:12:44.080 spread the truth
00:12:44.880 around everything
00:12:45.520 because we're not
00:12:47.360 going in a direction
00:12:48.160 that's going to be good
00:12:49.360 even in the next five years
00:12:50.480 sort of thing
00:12:50.960 so rebel news just seems
00:12:52.160 to be getting censored
00:12:53.520 for saying the right things
00:12:54.960 and we need to keep
00:12:55.760 pushing it
00:12:56.240 keep up the great work
00:12:58.480 we support you 100%
00:13:00.080 and I think as you can see
00:13:03.380 how many people are here
00:13:04.260 he's got tremendous amount
00:13:06.340 of support
00:13:06.820 and it's going to get
00:13:08.440 bigger and bigger
00:13:09.060 and I think the people of
00:13:10.300 Canada hopefully
00:13:11.180 will wake up
00:13:12.520 and realize that
00:13:13.300 hey this
00:13:13.800 this is the truth
00:13:14.860 this is the true news
00:13:16.160 that's being reported
00:13:17.260 not this nonsense
00:13:18.660 that the liberals
00:13:19.280 report
00:13:20.680 happy birthday rebel news
00:13:22.780 let's keep going
00:13:24.960 20 years
00:13:26.100 40 years
00:13:27.000 let's keep reaching
00:13:27.880 for the stars
00:13:28.700 the truth is needed
00:13:30.000 now more than ever
00:13:31.200 and
00:13:32.220 Charlie Kirk
00:13:34.680 Charlie Kirk
00:13:35.900 keep doing what we need
00:13:38.580 to do
00:13:38.820 free speech
00:13:39.360 keep up the good work
00:13:42.140 and keep signing for free
00:13:43.300 just keep on doing
00:13:45.100 what you're doing
00:13:45.580 like
00:13:45.900 you got a great big
00:13:47.620 large number
00:13:49.980 of good journalists
00:13:51.440 out there
00:13:52.040 risking their lives
00:13:53.220 really
00:13:53.600 for what they're doing
00:13:55.260 because
00:13:55.560 the modern media
00:13:57.500 just follows
00:13:58.140 their WF scripts
00:13:59.540 that they get
00:14:00.120 from the Wilbo party
00:14:01.180 and that's it
00:14:01.820 they think that
00:14:02.780 that'll satisfy
00:14:03.840 those people
00:14:04.660 myself
00:14:06.000 I've been following
00:14:06.720 the news ever since
00:14:07.640 I was a little kid
00:14:08.460 since I delivered
00:14:09.420 the paper
00:14:10.060 in my little hometown
00:14:11.540 and increased
00:14:12.800 my membership
00:14:13.480 from small to large
00:14:14.960 I've been paying
00:14:16.700 I care about
00:14:18.240 carrying the news
00:14:19.440 a lot
00:14:19.840 and what I've discovered
00:14:20.880 is a lot of it
00:14:21.620 just complete bullshit
00:14:22.860 so much has been erased
00:14:25.160 that people can't comprehend
00:14:27.620 how they've been groomed
00:14:28.880 to follow the narrative
00:14:30.940 and what's particularly
00:14:33.100 good about rebel news
00:14:35.180 honesty
00:14:36.080 truth
00:14:36.800 and I like the people
00:14:39.220 that are doing it
00:14:40.040 as we all know
00:14:41.100 the news outlets
00:14:41.720 are all a joke
00:14:42.680 they're all legacy media
00:14:44.720 paid by the liberal government
00:14:46.360 so they're totally biased
00:14:47.800 without their handouts
00:14:49.580 they wouldn't exist
00:14:50.400 they can't compete
00:14:51.400 whereas rebel news
00:14:52.700 totally independent
00:14:53.580 Ezra does an amazing job
00:14:56.620 and yeah
00:14:57.440 truthful news
00:14:59.620 the truth
00:15:00.300 I avoid to watch
00:15:01.760 any other news
00:15:02.640 just because
00:15:03.800 most of the stuff
00:15:04.540 that you're watching
00:15:05.200 is just
00:15:06.060 it's blatant
00:15:07.620 fabrication
00:15:09.020 I want the real news
00:15:11.240 I want
00:15:11.800 exactly what's happening
00:15:14.840 whether it's good
00:15:16.160 or it's bad
00:15:16.740 I want straight news
00:15:17.740 and rebel has always
00:15:18.900 more than provided that to us
00:15:21.400 yeah
00:15:22.140 simple
00:15:22.700 the stories you cover
00:15:24.500 too
00:15:25.220 and again
00:15:26.060 like you say
00:15:26.600 you look at it
00:15:27.080 from the other side
00:15:27.820 but it's not even
00:15:28.520 necessarily the other side
00:15:29.800 it's just
00:15:30.460 putting out
00:15:32.180 what they won't put out
00:15:33.400 and they either can't
00:15:35.180 or won't
00:15:36.420 so
00:15:36.980 it makes them useless
00:15:38.020 to regular Canadians
00:15:39.440 it's not news
00:15:40.200 it's nothing but propaganda
00:15:41.200 at this point
00:15:42.020 and when it comes to
00:15:44.000 the next 10 years
00:15:45.180 what's your message
00:15:45.880 to rebel news
00:15:46.700 and Ezra Levent
00:15:47.300 oh wow
00:15:47.780 oh wow
00:15:48.960 keep at it
00:15:49.600 you guys have made change
00:15:50.940 as far as I can see
00:15:52.100 and you're kind of bad
00:15:53.600 and worldwide
00:15:54.140 these days
00:15:54.800 so that's pretty awesome
00:15:55.860 keep it up
00:15:57.380 that's what I'd say
00:15:58.140 I'm gonna take a moment
00:16:00.340 to call up
00:16:00.960 I can't call up
00:16:01.800 every single rebel
00:16:03.260 because if everyone
00:16:04.400 gives a speech
00:16:05.180 we'll be here too long
00:16:06.460 but I'd like a couple
00:16:08.100 of folks to join me
00:16:09.600 on stage
00:16:10.240 our chief reporter
00:16:11.900 Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:16:13.580 can Sheila come on up here 1.00
00:16:15.120 and David the Menzoid Benzies 0.90
00:16:21.040 can he come up here
00:16:22.540 Andrea Humphrey
00:16:25.960 can he come up here
00:16:27.000 and Alexa Lavoie
00:16:30.160 can he come up here
00:16:31.120 I see Drea is down there
00:16:35.200 by the camera
00:16:36.860 I'm not sure
00:16:37.380 if she can hear me
00:16:38.220 I want to say
00:16:40.960 that one of the great pleasures
00:16:42.780 of rebel news
00:16:43.960 is to work
00:16:45.540 is to work
00:16:46.560 with the finest people
00:16:48.540 I've ever met
00:16:49.280 in my life
00:16:49.860 people who care
00:16:51.520 about the country
00:16:52.260 so deeply
00:16:53.080 that they literally
00:16:54.540 put themselves
00:16:55.400 in danger
00:16:56.500 they're arrested
00:16:59.460 they're physically
00:17:00.540 attacked
00:17:01.260 because they're
00:17:02.880 pursuing the truth
00:17:04.220 and I'm just going to
00:17:06.540 ask my friends
00:17:07.320 to speak
00:17:07.820 very briefly
00:17:09.120 like 60 to 90 seconds
00:17:11.340 and I know
00:17:12.140 with some of them
00:17:12.720 that's impossible
00:17:13.500 but David
00:17:15.000 why don't you come up here
00:17:16.080 and just
00:17:16.740 everyone here
00:17:17.840 is gathered
00:17:18.480 to celebrate rebel news
00:17:19.920 but really
00:17:20.320 to celebrate rebel news
00:17:21.800 means to celebrate
00:17:22.940 the journalists
00:17:24.040 and the work
00:17:24.640 that was done
00:17:25.180 so why don't you
00:17:25.680 give us a minute
00:17:26.720 of your reflections
00:17:28.000 after 10 years
00:17:28.880 yeah well you know
00:17:30.420 what folks
00:17:30.880 I think
00:17:31.440 thank you
00:17:33.260 thank you
00:17:39.080 by the way
00:17:39.680 the original hat
00:17:41.080 is at a silent auction
00:17:42.500 I understand
00:17:43.040 and the origin story
00:17:45.120 about it
00:17:45.980 it's not quite as thrilling
00:17:47.100 as Peter Parker
00:17:48.380 getting bitten
00:17:48.940 by a radioactive spider
00:17:50.160 and getting superpowers
00:17:51.220 is that
00:17:51.640 during COVID
00:17:52.880 when I was covering
00:17:53.720 the protest
00:17:54.400 there was an incident
00:17:55.840 where a CBC reporter
00:17:57.820 almost fell into traffic
00:17:59.820 I saved her
00:18:01.840 and I said
00:18:02.440 what's wrong
00:18:03.320 she was running backwards
00:18:04.440 and she said
00:18:05.700 your hair
00:18:06.860 it scared me
00:18:07.860 because you know
00:18:08.560 you could go to
00:18:10.200 a barber shop
00:18:11.360 right back then
00:18:12.040 and I thought
00:18:12.440 oh my god
00:18:12.980 I'm not Brad Pitt
00:18:14.800 I don't think
00:18:15.860 I'm quite the
00:18:16.500 Frankenstein monster yet
00:18:17.840 so I went to
00:18:18.780 the Hudson's Bay
00:18:19.380 and bought a hat
00:18:20.060 so that's the
00:18:21.120 that's the origin story
00:18:22.300 behind it
00:18:22.960 if anyone's interested
00:18:24.340 I don't think
00:18:28.020 she's going to be
00:18:28.720 reassigned to the
00:18:29.620 Afghanistan Bureau
00:18:30.680 anytime soon
00:18:31.580 but anyways
00:18:33.120 I know Ezra wants us
00:18:34.660 to keep this short
00:18:35.360 I want to thank
00:18:36.120 all of you
00:18:37.020 for showing up
00:18:38.240 and I want to thank you
00:18:39.320 if we don't have an audience
00:18:40.480 we're nothing
00:18:41.360 and you are the greatest
00:18:43.000 audience ever
00:18:44.700 you know
00:18:44.960 we go to pressers
00:18:46.140 we go to events
00:18:47.580 where there's all kinds
00:18:48.620 of mainstream media
00:18:49.540 and I'm not kidding you
00:18:51.120 when it's rebel
00:18:51.960 news reporters
00:18:53.180 people come
00:18:54.320 they want selfies
00:18:55.460 they want autographs
00:18:56.780 the mainstream media
00:18:58.260 is there
00:18:58.640 they are shunned
00:18:59.860 no
00:19:00.320 I've never seen
00:19:01.480 I'm telling you
00:19:03.780 and I just want to say
00:19:10.380 that you know
00:19:11.480 we are harassed
00:19:13.100 we are arrested
00:19:13.920 we are assaulted
00:19:14.920 but thanks to this man
00:19:17.620 and I mean this
00:19:19.140 you know
00:19:19.680 if Ezra has our back
00:19:22.180 it means hiring security guards
00:19:24.980 or it means
00:19:26.400 going to court
00:19:27.740 and it's very expensive
00:19:29.440 and again
00:19:29.980 this is where you all
00:19:30.880 come in with crowd funding
00:19:32.180 you pay our bills
00:19:33.720 we don't accept
00:19:34.800 a nickel
00:19:35.500 of Mark Carney's
00:19:37.180 government trained
00:19:38.460 seal money
00:19:39.820 without Ezra's resolve
00:19:45.320 without his courage
00:19:46.820 because Ezra is next level
00:19:49.120 in my book
00:19:49.880 he really is
00:19:50.700 and this is why
00:19:52.220 Rebel News exists
00:19:53.240 and I'm telling you
00:19:53.980 people
00:19:54.660 you know
00:19:55.760 they probably gave us
00:19:57.020 10 weeks
00:19:58.000 when we first launched
00:19:59.660 here we are
00:20:00.360 10 years
00:20:01.240 another 10 years to come
00:20:02.920 thank you David
00:20:06.160 permit me a very brief response
00:20:12.420 David was arrested
00:20:14.080 five times last year
00:20:15.560 just for journalism
00:20:17.080 just for journalism
00:20:18.780 if that were to happen
00:20:21.820 in Iran
00:20:22.820 or Russia
00:20:23.480 or China
00:20:24.220 there would be a
00:20:25.880 State Department memo
00:20:27.260 about it
00:20:27.600 there would be
00:20:28.120 you know
00:20:28.620 maybe Penn International
00:20:29.700 or Amnesty would care
00:20:30.700 but it was in Trudeau's Canada
00:20:32.720 and Mark Carney's Canada
00:20:33.900 and that's just
00:20:35.700 the new normal
00:20:36.280 but let me tell you
00:20:37.240 a very quick thing
00:20:38.060 I was out on that
00:20:39.760 same street corner
00:20:40.520 where David was arrested once
00:20:41.920 and there was a
00:20:44.160 pro-Hamas protest
00:20:45.120 and I was on the sidewalk
00:20:46.720 it was actually
00:20:47.300 in my neighborhood
00:20:47.840 I was just taking a picture
00:20:49.280 of some grotesque
00:20:50.660 terrorist reenactment
00:20:51.900 and the cops said
00:20:53.400 move
00:20:54.140 they said
00:20:55.440 your mere presence
00:20:57.520 and I filmed them
00:20:58.320 saying this
00:20:58.900 they said
00:20:59.600 your presence
00:21:00.480 here
00:21:00.900 will cause
00:21:02.100 those people
00:21:03.100 to disturb the peace
00:21:04.700 and I said
00:21:05.760 well then
00:21:06.120 deal with those people
00:21:07.620 over there
00:21:08.180 no
00:21:09.460 they took the path
00:21:10.820 of least resistance
00:21:11.680 so the
00:21:12.060 the top cop
00:21:13.460 came over
00:21:14.000 and he basically said
00:21:15.340 move now
00:21:16.740 or you'll be arrested
00:21:18.260 and this was
00:21:19.280 I didn't
00:21:20.080 I was sort of
00:21:21.480 almost in my BJ's
00:21:22.620 I hadn't planned
00:21:23.400 to go out there
00:21:24.160 it was in
00:21:24.980 in my neighborhood
00:21:25.960 so I just saw it
00:21:26.920 and I could have
00:21:28.380 avoided a lot of hassle
00:21:29.620 just by leaving
00:21:30.500 but you know
00:21:31.180 what I thought
00:21:31.680 David
00:21:32.040 I thought
00:21:32.840 David Menzies
00:21:35.280 has been arrested
00:21:37.660 five times
00:21:38.900 in the service
00:21:40.880 of our company
00:21:42.000 and in a way
00:21:43.120 in the service
00:21:44.140 of my request
00:21:45.080 to him
00:21:45.500 and how can I
00:21:47.680 claim to be
00:21:48.720 the leader
00:21:49.300 if I don't show
00:21:50.980 the same courage
00:21:51.940 that he does
00:21:52.680 can I be
00:21:53.960 the boss
00:21:54.600 of the company
00:21:55.320 can I be
00:21:56.320 David's boss
00:21:57.340 if I lack
00:21:58.600 his courage
00:21:59.600 that was what
00:22:00.640 was going
00:22:01.080 through my mind
00:22:02.000 and I decided
00:22:03.760 what would
00:22:04.900 David do
00:22:06.020 I'm not
00:22:08.000 this is not a joke
00:22:09.360 this is what
00:22:09.880 went through my mind
00:22:10.820 and I stood
00:22:12.420 my ground
00:22:13.260 and they arrested
00:22:14.740 me there
00:22:15.200 and took me
00:22:15.640 to the police station
00:22:16.380 put the handcuffs on
00:22:17.500 and we're suing them
00:22:18.660 just like you're
00:22:19.320 suing them
00:22:19.860 David has
00:22:21.360 tremendous courage
00:22:22.420 and he has
00:22:23.720 courage for you
00:22:24.660 it's for you
00:22:25.920 all right
00:22:29.640 Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:22:34.740 has been with us
00:22:35.780 since almost day one
00:22:37.260 not only is she
00:22:38.980 a great reporter
00:22:39.860 but she helps 0.93
00:22:41.540 new rebels
00:22:43.080 learn the rebel way
00:22:44.780 without further ado
00:22:46.020 let me introduce
00:22:46.600 my dear friend
00:22:47.260 and chief reporter
00:22:48.000 Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:22:48.920 thank you everybody
00:22:57.180 and thank you so much
00:22:58.440 for being here
00:22:59.420 I don't have
00:23:00.400 I don't have a fun story
00:23:02.020 about my hat
00:23:02.760 like David does
00:23:03.920 I just got it
00:23:04.860 at a small town
00:23:05.680 in Saskatchewan
00:23:06.620 when I was there
00:23:07.320 at a rodeo
00:23:08.740 but I want to stop
00:23:12.060 and just acknowledge
00:23:14.080 Ezra
00:23:15.180 for what he's done
00:23:17.720 for the state of journalism
00:23:19.140 in this country
00:23:19.980 because while I don't
00:23:29.140 have a super fun story
00:23:30.240 about my hat
00:23:30.840 it's kind of boring
00:23:31.860 I do have a fun story
00:23:33.660 about how I came to work
00:23:34.900 at Rebel News
00:23:35.540 and I know I'm going
00:23:36.540 to make it short
00:23:37.020 because usually I follow
00:23:39.560 Ezra and that means
00:23:40.520 make up the time
00:23:41.540 I was just
00:23:45.140 a regular mom
00:23:46.520 in 2015
00:23:47.320 just giving her
00:23:48.480 on the internet
00:23:49.200 because the internet
00:23:49.820 was a better
00:23:50.340 funner time
00:23:51.200 in 2015
00:23:52.520 Rachel Notley
00:23:54.560 had just got elected
00:23:55.440 and I saw
00:23:56.480 that the
00:23:57.140 boo boo
00:23:58.620 boo
00:23:59.940 she just got elected 0.71
00:24:02.480 and I saw
00:24:04.020 that the media
00:24:05.280 didn't do their homework
00:24:06.420 on these crazy candidates
00:24:08.140 that had put their names forward
00:24:09.540 they were insane
00:24:10.640 and so
00:24:12.400 all of a sudden
00:24:13.780 Justin Trudeau
00:24:14.480 wants to lead the country
00:24:15.400 and I thought
00:24:15.920 you know what
00:24:16.520 the media's not going
00:24:18.360 to do the work
00:24:18.960 maybe I can do it
00:24:20.980 I'm just a mom
00:24:21.940 I can
00:24:22.360 I can google things
00:24:23.540 like everybody else
00:24:24.700 and so that's what I did
00:24:29.020 I started googling
00:24:30.560 some of Justin Trudeau's
00:24:31.700 candidates
00:24:32.240 pretty soon
00:24:33.140 I got a couple of them
00:24:34.080 nuked
00:24:34.500 he had to ask them
00:24:36.200 to step down
00:24:36.960 and I was just a mom
00:24:38.000 the media was reporting
00:24:39.840 this big C conservative researcher
00:24:43.720 as though I worked
00:24:44.840 for the party
00:24:45.540 and they never once
00:24:48.320 reached out to me
00:24:49.100 and asked me
00:24:49.760 why I was doing it
00:24:50.840 I would have said
00:24:51.420 because you're not
00:24:52.640 and then he messaged me
00:25:04.040 I think it was on Twitter
00:25:05.000 and he said
00:25:06.400 you're doing journalism
00:25:07.200 you should come work for me 0.94
00:25:08.460 and I said
00:25:09.860 that's not what my family
00:25:10.760 signed up for
00:25:11.420 my husband works
00:25:12.160 in the oil patch
00:25:12.820 he's gone 300 days
00:25:13.960 of the year
00:25:14.400 and my youngest
00:25:15.080 is not in school
00:25:16.160 full time
00:25:16.880 and then September
00:25:18.620 rolled around
00:25:19.340 and my excuse
00:25:21.160 went to school
00:25:21.940 full time
00:25:22.580 and that was
00:25:24.700 10 years ago
00:25:25.780 and so the point
00:25:34.880 of that big long story
00:25:35.920 is
00:25:36.480 that
00:25:37.460 outside of David Menzies
00:25:39.340 and we definitely
00:25:39.880 don't hold it against him
00:25:41.120 none of us
00:25:42.500 are classically trained
00:25:43.560 journalists
00:25:44.020 we are just
00:25:45.380 curious people
00:25:46.360 with dinner table
00:25:47.920 questions
00:25:48.480 just like you
00:25:49.920 excellent
00:25:50.720 and that's why
00:25:56.520 we cover the stories
00:25:58.520 that you care about
00:25:59.460 it's because
00:26:00.600 those are our stories too
00:26:02.360 and they're the things
00:26:03.500 that you care about
00:26:04.820 and we care about
00:26:05.940 and I think that's
00:26:07.580 what makes us different
00:26:09.200 and I think that's why
00:26:10.260 Ezra really changed 0.81
00:26:12.040 the way we do news
00:26:13.500 in this country
00:26:14.160 you have people
00:26:15.360 in a cubicle
00:26:16.020 in Edmonton
00:26:16.740 reporting on things
00:26:18.760 without ever caring
00:26:20.000 or talking
00:26:20.800 to any of you
00:26:21.740 and I think that's
00:26:22.800 what makes us different
00:26:24.020 is
00:26:24.480 we're with you
00:26:26.420 we're in the streets
00:26:27.880 with you
00:26:28.180 we're in the protests
00:26:28.940 with you
00:26:29.560 and we ask the things
00:26:31.620 that nobody asks you
00:26:32.800 like
00:26:33.060 why are you here
00:26:34.580 you know
00:26:35.880 and I just
00:26:37.560 I'm so grateful
00:26:38.300 for Ezra
00:26:38.900 for seeing the things
00:26:40.060 in us
00:26:40.640 that we didn't see
00:26:42.140 in ourselves
00:26:42.720 and giving us
00:26:43.480 that opportunity
00:26:44.180 so thanks boss
00:26:45.380 thank you Sheila
00:26:48.440 can I invite Drea
00:26:52.100 to come up
00:26:54.240 and Tamara 0.77
00:26:54.980 and
00:26:56.140 Sheila can I
00:26:58.180 let's see this
00:27:00.100 Drea come on up here 1.00
00:27:01.300 and then I'll ask you
00:27:02.040 to take
00:27:02.540 Alexa's camera
00:27:04.160 from her
00:27:05.300 and switch with her 0.99
00:27:06.480 so why don't you
00:27:07.120 come up here now
00:27:08.000 Drea Humphrey
00:27:11.880 came to us
00:27:16.000 in a dark time
00:27:17.120 when we didn't know
00:27:19.260 how dark it would get
00:27:20.620 we didn't know
00:27:21.420 how far
00:27:22.940 our civil liberties
00:27:24.260 would be infringed
00:27:25.560 and she signed up
00:27:27.320 for a difficult job
00:27:28.560 not knowing
00:27:29.540 how hard it would be
00:27:30.840 but she has flourished
00:27:33.260 and I'm delighted
00:27:34.280 to ask you
00:27:35.500 to say a few words
00:27:36.360 as our BC Bureau Chief
00:27:37.800 first and foremost
00:27:47.260 thank you to all of you
00:27:48.320 because we are
00:27:49.060 absolutely nothing
00:27:50.260 without the people
00:27:51.840 who run
00:27:52.900 and give us the oil
00:27:54.440 to function
00:27:55.560 at Rebel News
00:27:56.320 so thank you all
00:27:57.280 it's been a wild
00:28:01.260 five years
00:28:02.400 I've been here
00:28:03.180 half as long
00:28:04.060 as Rebel News
00:28:04.700 existed
00:28:05.240 and I remember
00:28:07.380 sitting on the couch
00:28:08.440 watching David Menzies
00:28:10.080 in the hat
00:28:10.860 you know
00:28:12.440 getting roughed up
00:28:13.660 at a Black Lives Matter
00:28:15.960 the standoff
00:28:19.000 in Nathan Times Square
00:28:20.520 I don't live out there
00:28:21.380 whatever it's called
00:28:21.960 Nathan's building too
00:28:22.760 yeah
00:28:23.120 and they were getting
00:28:24.380 roughed up
00:28:24.820 and I remember
00:28:25.300 thinking to myself
00:28:26.220 they really need
00:28:27.340 some color
00:28:27.880 on their team
00:28:28.500 but I was like
00:28:40.000 Sheila too
00:28:40.580 I was just a mom
00:28:41.500 I was a healthcare worker
00:28:42.760 and I was like
00:28:43.800 something is going on
00:28:45.380 in 2020
00:28:46.060 I had a craft channel
00:28:47.580 and all of a sudden
00:28:48.900 I couldn't turn
00:28:49.840 like dollar store items
00:28:51.460 into a beautiful centerpiece
00:28:53.240 when I was like
00:28:53.960 is Bonnie Henry
00:28:55.540 trained in hypnosis
00:28:57.020 and hypnosing us
00:28:58.320 or something
00:28:58.760 and so
00:29:01.160 I started ranting online
00:29:03.120 and somehow
00:29:03.880 Rebel found me that way
00:29:05.740 gave me this
00:29:06.800 a mic
00:29:07.460 to amplify
00:29:08.820 what I was finding
00:29:10.240 one of the first things
00:29:12.120 I was talking about
00:29:13.120 was the lie
00:29:14.180 that was
00:29:14.660 I was going to say
00:29:15.780 the lie
00:29:16.120 that Black Lives Matter
00:29:17.100 that sounds really bad
00:29:18.100 but the hijacked movement
00:29:21.460 and reminding people
00:29:22.600 that's in fact racist
00:29:24.040 to convince people
00:29:25.100 that by the color
00:29:26.240 of their skin
00:29:26.880 it makes them limited
00:29:27.840 or repressed
00:29:28.780 and then it went on
00:29:30.760 to the COVID stuff
00:29:31.420 so it's been a wild ride
00:29:32.900 I was one of the many
00:29:34.160 healthcare workers
00:29:35.140 who lost their job
00:29:36.400 for not taking
00:29:37.380 an experimental vaccine
00:29:39.220 as was my husband
00:29:47.220 and taking the job
00:29:49.100 at Rebel News
00:29:49.600 I actually thought
00:29:50.140 I would lose it faster
00:29:51.100 just for doing that
00:29:52.140 and shedding light
00:29:53.040 on all of the hysteria
00:29:54.900 that was going on
00:29:55.620 but it was in fact
00:29:56.840 the mandate
00:29:57.660 and so again
00:29:58.400 thank you so much
00:29:59.360 because without Rebel News
00:30:01.500 I don't know
00:30:02.040 we would have lost our house
00:30:03.180 and we wouldn't have
00:30:04.820 had this mic
00:30:05.420 to say the truth
00:30:06.340 and so we're still
00:30:07.360 doing that
00:30:08.120 and I love all of you
00:30:09.880 thank you
00:30:10.600 thanks Freya
00:30:12.900 and thanks to Freya's mum
00:30:14.780 for making the journey here
00:30:16.380 it's nice to see you again
00:30:17.700 now Sheila
00:30:18.980 I'd like you to take over
00:30:20.080 the camera
00:30:20.880 from Alexa Lavoie
00:30:22.420 I'm an Alberta boy
00:30:24.660 originally
00:30:25.180 and frankly
00:30:26.360 growing up
00:30:27.140 Quebec was a bit of mystery
00:30:29.260 but I also knew
00:30:30.100 that Quebec
00:30:30.500 from the Alberta point of view
00:30:32.240 was a favored province
00:30:33.980 and it was a source
00:30:35.520 of some concern
00:30:38.540 in the reform party
00:30:39.980 and I want to tell you
00:30:41.040 how important it's been
00:30:42.660 for my view of Canada
00:30:44.540 to know
00:30:45.660 that there is
00:30:47.120 a group of people
00:30:48.800 in Quebec
00:30:49.400 who love freedom
00:30:50.600 as much as I do
00:30:52.100 and although they're outgunned
00:30:54.620 although
00:30:55.060 if you think
00:30:56.580 the regime media
00:30:57.800 is vicious
00:30:58.500 in English Canada
00:30:59.460 they've got nothing
00:31:01.200 on how extreme
00:31:03.720 the Quebec media clique is
00:31:06.040 probably because
00:31:07.460 it's so much smaller
00:31:08.480 and here you have
00:31:10.360 this bombshell
00:31:11.880 who comes in
00:31:12.900 and starts telling
00:31:14.000 the other side of the story
00:31:15.040 well you're not allowed
00:31:15.680 to do that
00:31:16.320 well she's done so well
00:31:18.640 telling us the stories
00:31:20.380 of Quebec
00:31:21.280 on Anglais
00:31:22.100 but also telling the truth
00:31:24.100 to Quebecers
00:31:24.900 on Francais
00:31:25.680 which is the reason why
00:31:28.200 well I mean
00:31:29.520 I won't give
00:31:30.760 specific examples
00:31:32.380 but quite recently
00:31:33.280 the premier of the province
00:31:34.680 announced that he was
00:31:35.440 going to bring in
00:31:36.060 a new bill
00:31:36.640 precisely because of a story
00:31:38.320 that only Alexa
00:31:39.480 was covering
00:31:40.600 namely
00:31:41.040 the mass protest
00:31:42.660 right outside
00:31:43.680 the basilica
00:31:45.020 by Hamas supporters
00:31:46.720 Alexa come on up 1.00
00:31:48.060 well first of all
00:31:59.080 I want to thank you all
00:32:00.640 for being here
00:32:01.760 and first of all
00:32:02.840 thank you Ezra
00:32:04.340 because Ezra took a big
00:32:07.060 big big risk
00:32:08.180 when he took me
00:32:09.360 in the company
00:32:10.620 first of all
00:32:12.080 because my English
00:32:13.340 was so poor
00:32:14.540 that same me
00:32:15.940 when I was listening
00:32:16.800 to myself
00:32:17.340 I was like
00:32:17.840 what did I say?
00:32:21.740 you're doing that
00:32:22.640 you're doing that
00:32:23.740 yeah so
00:32:24.540 I grew up
00:32:28.440 on the rebel
00:32:29.980 and thanks to
00:32:31.180 to you Ezra
00:32:32.560 and thanks for
00:32:33.420 everybody who believed
00:32:35.180 on me
00:32:35.780 and how I joined rebel
00:32:38.300 but most of the people
00:32:39.480 know about it
00:32:40.500 it's mainly because
00:32:41.660 in Quebec
00:32:43.160 nobody knew really
00:32:45.160 what was happening
00:32:46.060 during the COVID
00:32:46.840 and everybody thought
00:32:48.620 that everywhere
00:32:50.080 in Canada
00:32:50.620 it was the same
00:32:51.420 but Quebec
00:32:52.260 had the harshest
00:32:54.000 COVID lockdown
00:32:55.200 and just because
00:32:57.680 one day
00:32:59.160 I wanted to
00:33:00.560 warm myself up
00:33:02.260 in the middle
00:33:04.420 of the afternoon
00:33:05.380 with some of my friends
00:33:08.300 who just tried
00:33:09.160 to help us
00:33:10.200 to get warm
00:33:11.380 there were
00:33:13.160 14 police officers
00:33:15.180 cracking
00:33:15.740 inside of
00:33:17.340 the building
00:33:18.360 the apartment
00:33:19.500 searching everywhere
00:33:21.480 in the apartment
00:33:22.420 as if
00:33:23.520 we were
00:33:24.320 criminals
00:33:25.140 and
00:33:26.600 we got
00:33:27.360 everybody
00:33:28.160 a $1550
00:33:29.840 fight
00:33:30.420 and
00:33:32.540 at that moment
00:33:33.700 sorry
00:33:34.360 I didn't know
00:33:35.000 what rebel
00:33:35.740 was before
00:33:36.600 but
00:33:37.220 I learned
00:33:38.300 pretty fast
00:33:39.020 that rebel
00:33:39.700 was helping people
00:33:41.000 and
00:33:41.920 I tried to
00:33:42.640 reach out to
00:33:43.840 Sheila
00:33:44.440 and David
00:33:45.540 and
00:33:46.680 it's when
00:33:47.360 I started
00:33:47.920 protesting
00:33:48.480 and I met
00:33:49.380 Mocha
00:33:49.820 because I was
00:33:50.820 handling
00:33:51.560 roses
00:33:52.960 to
00:33:53.520 police officers
00:33:54.400 now
00:33:54.760 they hate me
00:33:55.860 but
00:33:56.140 I don't know
00:33:56.960 why
00:33:57.880 they just
00:33:59.680 refused to
00:34:01.360 protect
00:34:01.740 citizens
00:34:02.740 they refused
00:34:03.700 to protect
00:34:04.240 us
00:34:04.760 I got
00:34:05.620 assaulted
00:34:06.060 multiple times
00:34:06.940 in front of them
00:34:07.620 they didn't move
00:34:09.200 they didn't do
00:34:09.820 anything
00:34:10.280 as I got
00:34:11.780 shot during
00:34:12.380 the convoy
00:34:13.680 because
00:34:14.040 I was just
00:34:15.320 reporting on
00:34:16.000 the truth
00:34:16.520 and showing
00:34:17.740 the other side
00:34:18.460 of the story
00:34:18.920 to people
00:34:19.460 and that
00:34:20.020 was already
00:34:20.780 too much
00:34:21.920 for them
00:34:22.940 so I think
00:34:24.380 rebel
00:34:25.040 is needed
00:34:26.760 in Canada
00:34:27.580 rebel
00:34:28.400 is important
00:34:29.320 rebel
00:34:30.380 is making
00:34:31.040 a difference
00:34:31.700 and I can
00:34:38.560 see it
00:34:39.120 right now
00:34:39.840 because
00:34:40.120 just in
00:34:40.660 Quebec
00:34:41.140 there is
00:34:42.500 now
00:34:42.740 mainstream
00:34:43.200 media
00:34:43.680 who are
00:34:45.880 trying to
00:34:46.920 report
00:34:48.300 on me
00:34:48.780 they are
00:34:49.160 trying to
00:34:49.840 who is
00:34:50.960 this lady
00:34:51.640 she's by
00:34:52.520 herself
00:34:53.020 but she's 0.97
00:34:53.660 doing
00:34:53.980 like
00:34:54.440 more
00:34:55.040 work
00:34:55.840 than most
00:34:56.820 of us
00:34:57.280 I have
00:34:58.240 mainstream
00:34:59.100 people
00:34:59.940 reaching out
00:35:01.100 to me
00:35:01.700 because they
00:35:02.240 want to
00:35:02.640 cover
00:35:03.000 those
00:35:03.940 protests
00:35:04.780 but they are
00:35:07.220 too scared
00:35:07.740 to go over
00:35:08.360 there
00:35:08.700 so they
00:35:09.500 want to
00:35:10.060 join me
00:35:10.700 because they
00:35:11.200 are too
00:35:11.540 scared
00:35:11.980 there are
00:35:13.260 mainstream
00:35:14.000 media
00:35:14.460 coming to
00:35:15.800 me
00:35:16.080 and saying
00:35:16.480 we really
00:35:17.260 like what
00:35:17.920 you're doing
00:35:18.520 but I can't
00:35:19.200 do it
00:35:19.660 loud
00:35:20.620 so
00:35:22.480 Rebel is
00:35:23.540 doing
00:35:23.860 an amazing
00:35:26.660 work
00:35:28.200 and I
00:35:29.740 think
00:35:30.240 we are
00:35:31.220 doing a
00:35:31.760 difference
00:35:32.120 and I
00:35:33.520 think we
00:35:34.120 can see
00:35:34.700 it as of
00:35:35.440 right now
00:35:35.960 because the
00:35:36.560 mainstream
00:35:36.860 doesn't
00:35:38.160 have
00:35:38.660 the narrative
00:35:40.060 anymore
00:35:40.580 and we
00:35:42.180 are bringing
00:35:43.240 the other
00:35:43.620 side of the
00:35:44.060 story
00:35:44.280 so thank
00:35:45.140 you everybody
00:35:45.640 for being
00:35:46.060 here
00:35:46.300 so Mary
00:35:58.320 Ugolini 0.79
00:35:58.800 if you're
00:35:59.200 in the
00:35:59.400 room
00:35:59.540 can you
00:35:59.940 make your
00:36:00.760 way forward
00:36:01.280 but first
00:36:01.900 I'd like
00:36:02.300 to surprise
00:36:03.660 someone
00:36:04.120 who came
00:36:04.580 here tonight
00:36:05.180 unbeknownst
00:36:06.200 to me
00:36:06.520 and she
00:36:06.820 said hi
00:36:07.400 and unbeknownst
00:36:08.360 to her
00:36:08.680 I'm going
00:36:09.020 to ask
00:36:09.360 her to 0.94
00:36:09.620 say a
00:36:09.900 few words
00:36:10.440 Rebel News
00:36:12.340 does battle
00:36:13.380 in the court
00:36:13.920 of public
00:36:14.360 opinion
00:36:14.800 but every
00:36:15.720 once in a
00:36:16.140 while
00:36:16.280 we do
00:36:16.620 battle
00:36:17.000 in the
00:36:17.740 court
00:36:17.940 of law
00:36:18.420 and we
00:36:19.420 have
00:36:19.940 found
00:36:20.600 lawyers
00:36:21.140 that
00:36:21.400 believe
00:36:21.720 in
00:36:21.980 freedom
00:36:22.340 and
00:36:22.960 civil
00:36:23.320 liberties
00:36:23.640 we lose
00:36:24.840 a lot
00:36:25.260 I won't
00:36:25.640 lie
00:36:25.960 we often
00:36:26.580 lose
00:36:27.040 but I
00:36:27.700 gotta tell
00:36:28.200 you
00:36:28.360 when we
00:36:28.920 win
00:36:29.380 it feels
00:36:30.300 so good
00:36:30.960 and a
00:36:31.900 lawyer
00:36:32.140 who has
00:36:32.620 probably
00:36:33.020 done more
00:36:33.600 civil
00:36:33.940 liberties
00:36:34.240 work
00:36:34.560 for us
00:36:35.080 than anyone
00:36:35.820 else
00:36:36.220 is my
00:36:36.540 friend

00:37:00.780 COVID in
00:37:01.200 2020
00:37:01.680 he asked for
00:37:03.420 the cheapest
00:37:03.920 lawyer in the
00:37:04.540 firm
00:37:04.820 I was

00:37:47.160 Sarah
00:37:47.460 I forgot
00:37:54.860 about that
00:37:55.640 part
00:37:56.060 you know

00:37:59.220 you're using
00:37:59.720 other people's
00:38:00.360 money you
00:38:00.780 have to be
00:38:01.260 careful
00:38:01.740 Sarah
00:38:03.880 you did a
00:38:04.360 great job
00:38:05.040 your firm
00:38:08.000 has done
00:38:08.460 some great
00:38:09.120 work

00:38:10.460 protected
00:38:11.020 our
00:38:11.400 journalists
00:38:12.000 and it's
00:38:12.880 come to
00:38:13.260 the aid
00:38:13.740 of
00:38:13.900 individuals
00:38:14.500 like
00:38:14.880 Pastor
00:38:15.340 Arthur
00:38:16.000 so I
00:38:16.560 mean we're
00:38:16.840 having a
00:38:17.380 laugh
00:38:17.680 but it was
00:38:18.300 really important
00:38:18.840 and you
00:38:19.060 actually
00:38:19.400 there'll be a
00:38:20.240 clip of you
00:38:20.720 in the video
00:38:21.300 that we show
00:38:21.780 shortly
00:38:22.160 flying to
00:38:23.440 Geneva
00:38:24.060 with Sheila
00:38:25.400 Gunn-Reed
00:38:26.040 to file a
00:38:27.400 human rights
00:38:28.080 complaint of the
00:38:28.780 UN Human Rights
00:38:29.560 Commission
00:38:29.960 against Justin
00:38:31.300 Trudeau
00:38:31.740 for what he
00:38:32.460 did during
00:38:33.540 the pandemic
00:38:34.220 lockdown
00:38:34.720 you know
00:38:44.240 COVID is
00:38:44.880 a story
00:38:45.960 that many
00:38:46.820 of our
00:38:47.100 people share
00:38:47.840 because that's
00:38:48.940 when we
00:38:49.540 learned who
00:38:50.420 could think
00:38:51.220 for themselves
00:38:51.800 who would be
00:38:53.200 a nonconformist
00:38:54.420 when the whole
00:38:55.060 world was going
00:38:55.700 mad
00:38:56.240 if you could
00:38:57.280 keep your
00:38:57.720 wits about
00:38:58.220 you while
00:38:58.680 those all
00:38:59.180 around you
00:38:59.620 were losing
00:39:00.200 theirs
00:39:00.800 and our
00:39:02.900 next guest
00:39:04.480 speaker is
00:39:05.900 someone and I
00:39:06.800 mentioned this
00:39:07.300 over dinner
00:39:07.800 we met her
00:39:10.260 because she
00:39:11.380 was a client
00:39:12.360 of the
00:39:13.400 fight the
00:39:13.920 fines program
00:39:14.920 that Sarah
00:39:15.500 was talking
00:39:16.000 about
00:39:16.300 here's this
00:39:17.000 young lady
00:39:17.560 who was
00:39:17.940 arrested
00:39:18.440 for walking
00:39:20.020 on the
00:39:20.660 beach
00:39:21.060 which apparently
00:39:22.420 is a
00:39:24.200 terrible
00:39:24.740 COVID risk
00:39:25.660 and I saw
00:39:26.720 her speak
00:39:27.700 and I
00:39:28.240 thought
00:39:28.500 who is
00:39:30.180 she
00:39:30.380 she's so
00:39:31.020 articulate
00:39:31.720 and so
00:39:32.500 confident
00:39:33.380 and such
00:39:34.180 a good
00:39:35.300 communicator
00:39:36.280 and she
00:39:37.260 went from
00:39:37.620 being a
00:39:37.960 client
00:39:38.480 of Rebel
00:39:39.560 News
00:39:39.920 to a
00:39:40.660 reporter
00:39:41.080 and now
00:39:41.500 an editor
00:39:41.960 at Rebel
00:39:42.300 News
00:39:42.500 to Mary
00:39:42.820 Ugolini 0.79
00:39:43.280 come on
00:39:43.660 up here
00:39:44.040 it's a
00:39:52.280 really wild
00:39:53.120 story
00:39:53.560 and actually
00:39:54.120 five years
00:39:55.000 later now
00:39:55.620 it's even
00:39:56.360 more wild
00:39:56.940 to think
00:39:57.460 that you
00:39:58.700 could be
00:39:59.040 arrested
00:39:59.420 for simply
00:40:00.220 walking a
00:40:01.160 public shoreline
00:40:02.660 due to the
00:40:03.480 risk of
00:40:04.140 COVID-19
00:40:05.280 and outdoor
00:40:07.040 viral spread
00:40:07.820 was never
00:40:08.380 considered or
00:40:09.480 proven to be
00:40:10.660 a thing or a
00:40:11.400 scientific fact
00:40:12.140 and yet there
00:40:12.640 we were
00:40:13.160 just restricting
00:40:14.940 and fencing
00:40:15.600 off beaches
00:40:16.260 and a funny
00:40:17.820 thing about that
00:40:18.380 story I think
00:40:19.060 is what Ezra
00:40:20.160 appreciated the
00:40:20.960 most was
00:40:21.480 I had actually
00:40:22.320 researched the
00:40:23.060 lot lines
00:40:23.780 in terms of
00:40:24.660 who owned
00:40:25.360 the property
00:40:25.980 that they
00:40:26.780 were restricting
00:40:27.440 and I came
00:40:27.960 to find
00:40:28.460 that there's
00:40:30.040 something that
00:40:30.360 exists called
00:40:30.860 riparian rights 0.59
00:40:32.020 and I won't
00:40:32.640 get into all
00:40:32.960 the nitty gritty
00:40:33.640 but essentially
00:40:34.240 no one owns
00:40:35.620 the shore
00:40:36.240 the shore
00:40:37.080 is a fluid
00:40:37.860 moving thing
00:40:38.900 and from a
00:40:39.760 certain point
00:40:40.460 of that beach
00:40:41.500 onward
00:40:42.100 is crown land
00:40:43.380 and so
00:40:44.640 restricting
00:40:45.320 public access
00:40:46.300 it was not
00:40:47.240 only unconstitutional
00:40:48.500 completely
00:40:49.100 but an
00:40:49.980 infringement
00:40:50.760 of that
00:40:51.760 easement
00:40:52.340 and that
00:40:52.760 access the
00:40:53.560 public
00:40:54.140 was always
00:40:55.340 entitled to
00:40:56.580 and so
00:40:57.860 I entered
00:40:58.380 on crown land
00:40:59.280 I walked
00:40:59.980 that shoreline
00:41:00.960 and I did
00:41:02.560 it really out
00:41:03.180 of the fact
00:41:03.840 that my husband
00:41:04.360 and I had
00:41:04.860 lost everything
00:41:05.840 after the
00:41:06.720 lockdowns
00:41:07.520 and the
00:41:08.680 COVID related
00:41:09.280 restrictions
00:41:09.720 and I had
00:41:10.620 engaged with
00:41:11.340 politicians
00:41:11.880 I had been
00:41:12.540 petitioning the
00:41:13.180 town to
00:41:13.660 reopen the beach
00:41:14.640 I had been
00:41:15.120 delegating at
00:41:15.780 town council
00:41:16.320 meetings
00:41:16.660 I reached out
00:41:17.340 to my MP
00:41:18.000 my MPP
00:41:18.800 all of these
00:41:19.820 civil discourse
00:41:20.860 avenues that
00:41:21.560 you're supposed
00:41:22.080 to have
00:41:22.840 when you have
00:41:23.520 an issue
00:41:23.960 with how the
00:41:24.480 government's
00:41:24.960 behaving
00:41:25.300 and no one
00:41:26.580 was listening
00:41:27.580 and so
00:41:29.760 the next step
00:41:31.120 naturally is
00:41:31.980 civil disobedience
00:41:33.740 peaceful
00:41:34.340 civil disobedience
00:41:36.280 thank you
00:41:37.760 and
00:41:42.720 not only
00:41:44.760 was I
00:41:45.100 being fined
00:41:45.900 for trespass
00:41:46.700 when there
00:41:47.440 wasn't any
00:41:48.180 lawful way
00:41:49.100 that I was
00:41:49.760 trespassing
00:41:50.380 because I
00:41:50.740 didn't go
00:41:51.280 on town property
00:41:52.160 and they never
00:41:52.940 had jurisdiction
00:41:53.680 to restrict access
00:41:54.640 in the first place
00:41:55.400 but I was actually
00:41:56.400 also being charged
00:41:57.180 criminally
00:41:57.820 and I don't even
00:42:00.000 have so much
00:42:00.580 as a speeding ticket
00:42:01.520 I was also a mom
00:42:03.420 like the women 1.00
00:42:04.220 up here on the stage
00:42:05.460 before me
00:42:06.060 and I was concerned
00:42:07.160 about the future
00:42:07.880 and where we were
00:42:08.620 headed if no one
00:42:09.640 spoke up
00:42:10.200 people said to me
00:42:10.980 well weren't you
00:42:11.680 scared of speaking up
00:42:13.300 and I said
00:42:14.200 what terrified me
00:42:15.320 more was what
00:42:16.640 would happen
00:42:17.240 if I didn't
00:42:18.400 so Ezra took a chance
00:42:25.320 on me
00:42:25.800 and I'm so thankful
00:42:26.740 for that
00:42:27.360 and this is my
00:42:27.860 first time being
00:42:28.640 at the Calgary-based
00:42:30.260 rebel event
00:42:30.820 so thank you
00:42:31.600 to all of you
00:42:32.280 it's so nice
00:42:33.000 to be in a room
00:42:33.920 full of freedom
00:42:34.960 minded rebels
00:42:36.380 and support
00:42:37.420 thank you
00:42:38.500 and thanks Ezra
00:42:42.600 for taking a chance
00:42:43.500 on me
00:42:43.880 cheers everyone
00:42:44.800 thanks Tamira
00:42:46.400 we have a couple
00:42:50.560 other rebels here
00:42:51.520 Angelica
00:42:52.280 can you give us
00:42:52.920 a wave
00:42:53.440 and Sydney Fisard
00:42:55.080 Angelica and Syd
00:42:56.380 are actually headed
00:42:57.580 down to the
00:42:58.980 Turning Point USA
00:43:00.580 mega meeting
00:43:01.860 in Arizona
00:43:03.300 they'll be our
00:43:05.760 rebel eyes 0.96
00:43:06.860 and ears
00:43:07.520 down there
00:43:08.240 thank you for
00:43:11.480 going down there
00:43:12.380 and I look forward
00:43:13.000 to what you see
00:43:14.040 you know there
00:43:16.340 is always a whiff
00:43:17.480 of violence
00:43:18.180 when we cover
00:43:18.960 the other side
00:43:20.460 whether it's
00:43:21.300 Antifa
00:43:21.900 or police brutality
00:43:23.300 I hate to say it
00:43:24.380 our people
00:43:25.420 have been attacked
00:43:26.320 20 times
00:43:28.240 over the course
00:43:28.980 of 10 years
00:43:30.100 and I don't know
00:43:31.780 any other media
00:43:33.180 in the country
00:43:33.880 who actually
00:43:34.740 have spent
00:43:35.800 tens of thousands
00:43:36.800 sometimes close
00:43:37.560 to a hundred
00:43:38.360 thousand dollars
00:43:39.120 a year
00:43:39.380 on personal
00:43:40.200 security
00:43:41.140 and not just here
00:43:42.000 our friend
00:43:42.380 Abiyamini
00:43:43.000 in Australia
00:43:44.240 the left
00:43:46.760 is inherently
00:43:47.820 not all of them
00:43:48.880 but there is
00:43:49.700 an unchecked
00:43:51.340 part of the left
00:43:52.180 that believes
00:43:52.980 in violence
00:43:53.780 Antifa
00:43:54.680 is allowed
00:43:55.420 to operate
00:43:56.120 in a way
00:43:56.600 that the Hells Angels
00:43:57.500 or the Mafia
00:43:58.640 would not
00:43:59.260 it's a criminal
00:44:00.240 organization
00:44:00.940 it is
00:44:02.080 a racketeer
00:44:03.420 type organization
00:44:05.760 but because it
00:44:06.780 serves left wing
00:44:07.880 politics
00:44:08.440 it is allowed
00:44:09.120 to happen
00:44:09.700 and I have
00:44:10.780 watched countless
00:44:11.520 times
00:44:11.980 our people
00:44:12.720 being hit
00:44:13.860 and
00:44:14.820 every time
00:44:16.360 I think to myself
00:44:17.200 what would I do
00:44:18.160 if I were the one
00:44:18.940 who was hit
00:44:19.680 and would I sue
00:44:21.400 or would I
00:44:22.140 and I try to do
00:44:23.480 for our team
00:44:24.240 what I would do
00:44:25.280 for myself
00:44:25.940 because they are
00:44:27.160 there for me
00:44:28.420 and for you
00:44:29.300 and I'm not
00:44:31.160 independently wealthy
00:44:32.200 every cent we have
00:44:33.780 for security
00:44:34.480 or lawyers
00:44:35.220 comes from you
00:44:36.420 through crowdfunding
00:44:37.380 you've probably
00:44:38.840 tired of us
00:44:39.660 emailing and asking
00:44:40.520 for help
00:44:41.040 but the fact
00:44:42.260 that you keep
00:44:42.900 providing that help
00:44:43.900 tells me
00:44:44.580 you want us
00:44:46.060 to continue
00:44:46.640 to protect our people
00:44:47.900 you want us
00:44:49.020 to continue
00:44:49.800 doing the stories
00:44:50.700 frankly that require
00:44:51.780 protection
00:44:52.420 when David goes
00:44:53.840 to cover
00:44:54.380 the case
00:44:55.420 of Ash Davis
00:44:57.800 the big bloke
00:44:59.020 who punches girls
00:45:00.460 on the rugby team
00:45:01.700 you want us
00:45:03.400 to be there
00:45:03.980 even though
00:45:04.540 you know
00:45:05.240 and I know
00:45:06.040 that that leads
00:45:06.960 to litigation
00:45:07.800 Ezra we don't want you 0.99
00:45:09.480 we need you
00:45:10.520 well thank you my friend
00:45:11.660 alright
00:45:13.740 I talk too much
00:45:15.760 well it was a great night
00:45:18.160 I'm off to the
00:45:19.480 Justice Center
00:45:20.320 for Constitutional
00:45:21.520 Freedom's dinner tonight
00:45:22.720 what a great group
00:45:23.740 they are
00:45:24.300 and then I'll be
00:45:25.340 back in Toronto
00:45:26.380 tomorrow
00:45:27.140 doing the show
00:45:28.580 normally
00:45:29.140 it's been a busy week
00:45:30.240 in the UK
00:45:30.980 and then here in Calgary
00:45:32.420 Rebel News
00:45:33.400 is interested
00:45:34.020 in the whole world
00:45:34.900 and I'm delighted
00:45:35.900 that our journalists
00:45:36.680 make a difference
00:45:37.420 in so many different places
00:45:39.120 it was an honor
00:45:41.080 to be on some panels
00:45:42.620 and speak today
00:45:43.420 until next time
00:45:44.760 on behalf of all of us
00:45:45.940 at Rebel
00:45:46.800 to you at home
00:45:47.520 goodnight

00:45:54.700 absolutely
00:45:54.980 hmm
00:45:55.540 and keep fighting
00:45:56.600 for love
00:45:57.480 McDonalds
00:45:58.620 at the time
00:46:09.060 you
00:46:10.000 are
00:46:10.220 sure
00:46:10.480 that you
00:46:10.860 are
00:46:11.040 the
00:46:11.480 you
00:46:13.560 are
00:46:14.080 never
