Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ RCMP launches online campaign to entrap Canadians

00:00:00.000 Oh, hello, my rebels. I got a terrible story for you today. It's from the CBC, of course,

00:00:05.160 but the story is even crazier than the storyteller. The RCMP is starting a whole program about

00:00:11.300 setting up fake personas online to entrap people. Who are they going after? Are they going after

00:00:18.120 Hamas activists or Iran or Chinese infiltration or any of the crime wave? No, no, no, don't be

00:00:25.460 silly. They're going after Proud Boys. They're going after people who don't like feminism or 1.00

00:01:52.020 today's podcast. Tonight, instead of investigating actual criminals and terrorists, Trudeau is

00:02:12.520 sending spies to infiltrate conservative groups online. It's November 4th, and this is the Ezra

00:02:18.620 LeVant Show. Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:02:34.780 Hey, did you see this insane footage over the weekend? It's an attack on a Hindu temple in

00:02:41.620 Canada. I think it's Kalistani Sikh militants who are physically attacking the Hindu temple.

00:02:48.920 I think that's what this is.

00:02:50.280 Indian government. Who's the terrorist? Indian government. Who's the terrorist? Indian government. 0.55

00:02:57.580 Indian government. Who's the terrorist? Indian government. Who's the terrorist? Indian government. 0.55

00:03:09.540 Indian government. Who's the terrorist? Indian government. Who's the terrorist? Indian government. 0.55

00:03:19.620 Who's the terrorist? Indian government. Who's the terrorist? Indian government. Who's the terrorist?

00:03:20.840 Indian government. King Khurlan卡. Indian government. Who's the terrorist?

00:03:26.740 WEIGH INGOES

00:03:31.740 INVITED

00:03:36.740 ISLAV wahrscheinlich 0.78

00:03:42.740 INVITED

00:03:47.740 AMB hier

00:03:50.740 flanzen

00:03:54.740 That's nuts. I can't even believe that.

00:04:14.700 In my view, any foreign national who engages in violence in Canada, especially political violence, which I think can be properly defined as terrorism, 0.59

00:04:24.740 I think they should be immediately deported.

00:04:27.640 By the way, it gets even crazier.

00:04:30.220 One of the alleged rioters is reportedly an off-duty cop who has since been suspended.

00:04:37.320 But it wasn't just in Ontario. Here it is in British Columbia, too.

00:04:54.740 They need to leave. They have no prisoners to be here.

00:05:11.800 Guys, guys, listen. They have no prisoners to be here.

00:05:15.600 That's crazy, but no crazier than the other foreign threats we see on a weekly or even daily basis in Canada. 0.99

00:05:33.600 I saw this just astonishing. I mean, the new normal is this guy dressed up as a terrorist just standing there at the new TMU, Toronto Metropolitan University.

00:05:45.420 That's what they call Ryerson University now.

00:05:47.780 No problem. Just completely normal. I mean, why not?

00:05:50.780 By the way, that was Roman Baber, the conservative political candidate, tweeting that.

00:05:55.620 I think he might be the justice minister if he wins. Hopefully we'll get some real justice.

00:05:59.680 But this goes on every single weekend.

00:06:03.000 I mean, terrorist supporters in our city, my city of Toronto, go right into the heart of Jewish communities,

00:06:09.500 flying swastikas, flying flags of banned terrorist groups, calling for a genocide.

00:06:14.860 No problem. The police are their escorts.

00:06:17.260 There's a lawlessness in Canada now.

00:06:19.320 And I've just been talking to you about political and ethnic lawlessness. 1.00

00:06:23.520 But then there's just the plain old regular crime wave.

00:06:28.100 We've talked before about the massive vehicle theft in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver.

00:06:33.080 But here's a recent story. Robberies are up 70% in the past year in Calgary.

00:06:40.320 Don't think that is unrelated to mass unvetted migration from low trust societies, by the way.

00:06:48.300 Really check any top 10 most wanted criminals.

00:06:51.500 Here's the Toronto police website for their list of most wanted criminals.

00:06:55.500 Basically, Trudeau's new Canadians all the way down.

00:06:59.840 We have brought in the world's losers into our high trust society.

00:07:05.340 They can't believe how stupid we are.

00:07:07.540 And we keep doing it.

00:07:08.740 Anyways, lots of problems.

00:07:10.620 I haven't even mentioned nonviolent political infiltration, like what China is doing.

00:07:16.280 The 11 parliamentarians they've corrupted.

00:07:18.720 And perhaps India, too.

00:07:20.020 And certainly Iran, which has 700 agents operating in Canada.

00:07:24.980 So with all that in mind, look at this story in the CBC.

00:07:30.060 Naturally.

00:07:31.620 RCMP plans to go undercover online to trap violent extremists.

00:07:38.280 Internal documents says Mounties will use fake online profiles to pursue extremist activity.

00:07:43.560 Oh, that sounds good.

00:07:44.420 I mean, like Hamas activists or maybe like some of that people in the Sikh versus Hindu fight.

00:07:50.280 Yeah, no, no, no.

00:07:51.640 Look at the very first photo here.

00:07:53.620 And you'll see what this really is about.

00:07:56.100 Members of the Proud Boys shouted a group of counter-protesters at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto on October 21st, 2017.

00:08:04.360 Got it.

00:08:04.780 So seven years ago, a frat boy shouted something.

00:08:07.400 Nothing about terrorism, nothing about the shooting of Jewish schools.

00:08:12.380 This is happening every few months now.

00:08:13.820 Nothing about arson against Jewish schools and synagogues.

00:08:17.280 None of that.

00:08:18.960 I searched this story carefully.

00:08:20.880 The word Muslim or Islam does not appear once in the story.

00:08:24.080 Neither do the words Sikh or Hindu or Iran.

00:08:27.260 None of that.

00:08:27.940 So who are they left to talk about?

00:08:30.220 We are in the worst violence in memory.

00:08:32.940 But they know who the real enemy is.

00:08:35.820 Let me quote.

00:08:37.620 The RCMP is planning to conduct undercover surveillance online using fake personas to investigate ideological extremists in Canada, says an internal strategy document.

00:08:47.640 Experts in ideologically motivated violent extremism, IMVE, in Canada say the strategy is overdue at a time when online extremism threatens to spill over into real world violence.

00:09:00.460 They warn that extremist activity in Canada could increase in the wake of the U.S. election.

00:09:05.820 Regardless of who becomes the next president.

00:09:09.160 Who?

00:09:09.880 What extremist activity do they mean?

00:09:12.180 Well, they'll tell you.

00:09:13.820 The term IMVE can cover anything from white supremacists and neo-Nazis to far-left environmental and animal rights organizations.

00:09:22.660 Really?

00:09:22.880 Is the RCMP with these riots and the anti-Semitic crime wave and these Hamas encampments, are they really worried about animal rights organizations or Stephen Gilboa's Greenpeace?

00:09:34.880 I don't think so, but that's what the CBC wants us to focus on.

00:09:40.620 They're, of course, talking about conservatives, probably talking about truckers.

00:09:45.420 I'm serious.

00:09:45.840 Here, they quote Canada's leading conspiracy theorist, Dr. Barbara Perry, who has claimed that there are 300 right-wing extremist groups in Canada, although she refuses to name them.

00:09:56.140 I laugh at anyone who would take her seriously, but of course the CBC does.

00:10:01.280 Barbara Perry, director of the Center on Hate, Bias, and Extremism at Ontario Tech University, said the strategy is overdue, and most Western countries are far ahead of Canada in countering IMVE threats.

00:10:14.240 She said there has been an atomization of the movement, with those attracted to ideological extremism now less likely to join defined groups than they were in the past, making them harder for law enforcement to monitor.

00:10:26.200 They're being exposed to these narratives, xenophobia, homophobic, transphobic, anti-feminist, anti-women, you have it, said Perry.

00:10:33.240 They're being exposed to them online, offline, and they're adopting some of those pieces as a way to make sense of what they're seeing and how they're understanding the world without necessarily affiliating with a particular group, without joining or naming any particular group.

00:10:47.380 Okay, so if you're just an individual person who is against feminism, you should now be on a special RCMP watch list if you're anti-trans.

00:10:57.220 That's the majority of people, by the way.

00:10:59.000 I'll keep reading, Perry said Donald Trump's election as U.S. president in 2016 led to a surge in right-wing extremism, while Barack Obama's election in 2008 resulted in, quote, a dramatic growth in white supremacist groups, unquote.

00:11:13.780 Really?

00:11:15.220 In Canada?

00:11:17.660 I'm attentive to that, because white supremacist anti-submitted groups, they generally don't like people like me.

00:11:23.700 I haven't seen that, and I was here.

00:11:25.800 Have you seen that or heard that?

00:11:27.660 I mean, there is anti-Semitism in Canada now.

00:11:30.320 It's actually off the hook, but it's from this coalition of Islamist immigrants and woke leftists, usually from university. 0.84

00:11:41.040 I haven't seen any anti-Semitism from the right in Canada, and I hang out on the right. 0.70

00:11:46.340 Other than by one or two obvious feds and narcs, agents, provocateurs, like those diagonalon kooks, but they're so obviously fake feds. 1.00

00:11:56.000 We are in a sea of actual hatred and violence, an anti-Semitic crime wave and a regular crime wave.

00:12:03.040 What we saw yesterday appeared to be anti-Hindu violence, too.

00:12:07.400 And the RCMP and the CBC and the official anti-hate activists want to go after frat boys who don't like feminism. 1.00

00:12:13.760 Let me give you a reminder of what has happened in the past.

00:12:17.060 In the 1990s, there was an anti-Semitic group in Canada called the Heritage Front.

00:12:21.880 It was in the news every week, terrifying people about how anti-Semitism was growing and Canada was a hateful place, and they actually named the Reform Party as a source of hate.

00:12:32.460 But it turns out the leader of the Heritage Front, Grant Bristow, was a CSIS agent the whole time.

00:12:39.340 He literally built and led the anti-Semitic movement on taxpayers' money, paid for by the government, directed by the government. 0.65

00:12:46.840 They weren't fighting hate.

00:12:48.560 They were creating it.

00:12:49.540 They needed it for political reasons.

00:12:51.640 And then later, Richard Warman, the disgraced former employee of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, did something similar.

00:12:58.320 He worked for the Human Rights Commission, but he would go online, joining neo-Nazi groups like Stormfront or Vanguard, write hundreds of racist and anti-Semitic and anti-gay posts, and then anyone he talked with, he would entrap them and then sue them at the Canadian Human Rights Commission, where he worked for fun and profit.

00:13:18.200 He made tens of thousands of dollars off that.

00:13:20.740 He was literally working for the Human Rights Commission, but he spent his time whipping up anti-human rights hatred.

00:13:26.700 He published it himself.

00:13:30.380 And if you think that's not crazy enough, I got a crazier story for you still.

00:13:35.340 In the 1960s, the Canadian Jewish Congress actually paid cash to a man to build up the Canadian Nazi Party.

00:13:43.700 I don't understand it.

00:13:44.840 Insane.

00:13:46.280 They all so badly want to tar this country as anti-Semitic.

00:13:50.280 It is not.

00:13:51.820 At least 90% of it is not.

00:13:53.560 But Trudeau has recently brought in millions of people, completely unvetted, who come from places in the world where anti-Semitism and other ethnic hatred is normal. 0.94

00:14:01.360 So, yeah, there is more hatred in Canada than ever, and some of it is leading to crime.

00:14:08.880 But it's not from some white kids reading Jordan Peterson now, is it?

00:14:12.560 It's from woke leftists and a new violent army of immigrants and foreign nationals who were let into our country without any vetting for cultural fit. 1.00

00:14:23.000 And that's precisely who this new undercover sting operation is not targeting.

00:14:29.900 Stay with us for more from Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:14:31.860 Well, over the weekend, I visited Red Deer, Alberta.

00:14:46.580 What a great city.

00:14:47.800 And I went to the largest political convention, I think, in Canadian history.

00:14:54.140 Now, I don't want to say that in such a sweeping way, because there's a chance, for example, in the Dirty 30s in Alberta, when the Social Credit Party was a response to the Great Depression, there's a chance.

00:15:05.580 They may have had 6,000 people meeting back then.

00:15:10.000 But other than that, I can't think of a political convention this big.

00:15:14.140 Now, I was there to visit my friend Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter, and Angelica Toye, who are on the ground.

00:15:20.840 I did some schmoozing and said hi myself.

00:15:23.360 What a delightful event.

00:15:24.780 And here to give us the report on the facts, not just the feelings, is our friend Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:15:30.500 Sheila, how are you doing?

00:15:31.920 I'm great.

00:15:32.540 Thanks for having me on the show.

00:15:33.760 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:15:34.340 It's great to see you.

00:15:35.380 I really enjoyed being out there.

00:15:37.740 And a reminder that Albertans actually care about freedom and ideas.

00:15:42.240 And I don't know, I felt really enthused.

00:15:45.760 I was enthused by the reaction I got from ordinary Albertans who love Rebel News.

00:15:49.980 And I thought Danielle Smith proved that she really is Canada's leading freedom-fighting premier.

00:15:56.780 I like Scott Moe.

00:15:58.380 I like, you know, some things by this premier or that premier there.

00:16:02.800 But I think all around, Danielle Smith is putting Alberta back in the driver's seat in terms of a freedom agenda. 0.99

00:16:08.240 What do you think?

00:16:08.860 Yeah, you know, Rebel News, by the way, I should say this right off the hop, really well received, not just by the people there.

00:16:17.340 There were nearly 6,100 people in attendance there, which it was Canada's largest political convention to date.

00:16:25.300 It dwarfed last year's Canada's largest political convention to date, which was the last UCP AGM.

00:16:31.160 But the MLAs and members of government and their staff had a lot of time for us at Rebel News, which might be unsettling to my friends at the company who live and work in Doug Ford's version of conservatism.

00:16:45.160 But Danielle Smith is really positioning herself as the leader of the political movement to protect civil liberties and to learn from the lessons of the bonfire of civil liberties of the COVID-19 pandemic and the government overreaction that followed.

00:17:04.580 I think her base was really energized by her slate of anti transition for minors policies that came late last week, but also her entrenchment of civil liberties into our Public Health Act and the ensuring of in-person education during a public health emergency for kids.

00:17:26.720 So all the things that saw Jason Kenney ousted, she is doing her best to make sure that that never happens again in Alberta.

00:17:34.640 And that's exactly why she's the premier now. 0.94

00:17:37.840 You know, you said a lot of things, sir.

00:17:39.620 Let me react to the first thing you said.

00:17:41.260 Well, no, that's great.

00:17:41.980 You're giving us a lot of info.

00:17:44.360 I regard how conservative politicians interact with Rebel News as a kind of litmus test.

00:17:49.600 You might think I only consider those factors as a matter of vanity or my own feelings.

00:17:55.520 Do I like the fact that I can banter with this politician or that one?

00:17:59.680 Well, I suppose, sure.

00:18:01.300 But that's not why it's important.

00:18:03.640 I think it's important as a proxy for will you let the mean girls of the regime media bully you if you talk to conservative citizen journalists who are, you know, not with the cool kids?

00:18:17.180 Because I think that if you're afraid to even talk to Rebel News or other independent citizen journalists on the right, if you're afraid not because there's something wrong with us, but because you're afraid what the CBC will say about it or what the Globe and Mail will say about it, and they'll do a story.

00:18:34.460 Why did you meet with them?

00:18:35.620 And they'll try and do a cancel culture gotcha.

00:18:37.980 If you're afraid to do that, then you're going to be afraid of everything.

00:18:42.040 You're going to be afraid of your own shadow, and you will be bullied out of doing the right thing.

00:18:47.340 So it's not so much that I – I mean, it is a wonderful feeling to be embraced by senior public leaders, but not for the vanity, but rather for the proof that they're immune to peer pressure.

00:18:59.780 And I saw some regime media journalists there, including, for example, the CBC, and it's great to know that the CBC does not have the political leaders of Alberta in their thrall, as I think, you know, the federal conservatives under Andrew Scheer and Erin O'Toole and other conservatives – I mean, you mentioned Doug Ford.

00:19:21.720 They're afraid of us, not because we're bad, but because they are too under the spell of the regime media.

00:19:27.900 Yeah, and just to your point, because as I said – or as you said, I did say a lot of things that you probably want to address, but it's not – I don't need to be liked by politicians.

00:19:37.920 I prefer to be feared by them.

00:19:39.320 And I think, again, learning from what happened to Jason Kenney, I think Danielle Smith realizes that a majority of her base look to us to properly report on her accomplishments, but also, as we did with Jason Kenney, properly report on her failures and push her in the right direction.

00:20:00.740 Because all the forces of the political world and the culture are going to be pulling her towards the center and the left, and it's our job to act as something to the right of that, to make sure that she never becomes disconnected from the very people who sent her to office.

00:20:17.360 You're completely right.

00:20:19.160 You know, people sometimes say, Ezra, what's Rebel News going to do if and when Justin Trudeau is finally thrown out?

00:20:24.680 What will be your raison d'etre?

00:20:26.380 And I say, are you kidding me?

00:20:28.040 It'll become even more important, because it's easy to criticize Trudeau now.

00:20:31.740 Even some regime journalists are doing that.

00:20:33.920 But if, let's say, Pierre Polyev wins federally, well, first of all, every single other force will be pulling him to the left.

00:20:41.140 We need to be a counterbalance, and we need to hold him to account in good faith if he abandons conservative ideas.

00:20:48.400 And finally, we need to be there to correct the gotcha BS journalism that will be targeted at him.

00:20:54.380 So we have worked with, quote, right-wing leaders before.

00:20:58.100 And in the case of Jason Kenney, he wasn't freedom-oriented enough, so we criticized him in good faith.

00:21:02.640 And that had much more impact on, let's say, grassroots conservative activists in Alberta than if the CBC would criticize Kenney from the left.

00:21:11.460 So I feel that's our role with the Alberta UCP, United Conservative Party.

00:21:16.240 I like the fact that Danielle Smith comes on our show, because I like to give that access to our viewers.

00:21:22.640 But to me, it shows that she's not a scaredy cat of the regime journalists and the mean girls.

00:21:28.220 And by the way, they were out already.

00:21:29.620 One of the important things that Danielle Smith announced is to put some meat on the bones of her transgenderism policy, which protects women's sports, protects minor children from getting irreversible surgery before they're old enough to make those decisions. 0.99

00:21:44.680 And already you can see the deep state in – they're appalled by this.

00:21:50.740 So I saw Nahid Nenshi, the leader of the NDP, and I forget the name of the LGBTQ –

00:21:57.800 Janice Irwin.

00:21:58.840 Janice Irwin, thank you.

00:22:00.140 They had a press conference denouncing Danielle Smith.

00:22:03.580 And the first thing I could think of was they don't have skin in the game.

00:22:09.460 Nahid is a confirmed bachelor, and good for him. 0.99

00:22:12.020 You know, I do not care.

00:22:15.600 But he sure is obsessed with other people's kids.

00:22:20.700 And it's really weird, a weird vibe.

00:22:23.780 People who are furious that men can't go into women's change rooms.

00:22:29.860 People who are furious that parents now get notice of sex ed in the classroom.

00:22:36.100 Why are you furious about that?

00:22:38.300 Especially if you don't have kids of your own, why are you trying to interpose yourself between a child and its parent?

00:22:45.420 There's something creepy going on, and there's so much peer pressure on this issue.

00:22:49.560 It's probably the most peer pressure-y issue out there.

00:22:53.300 This will test Danielle Smith's commitment to her ideas, don't you think?

00:22:58.560 I do.

00:22:59.720 However, I think she is doing her best to take a balanced approach.

00:23:03.100 We all know she's a bit of a libertarian or a lot of a libertarian on these sorts of issues.

00:23:07.720 And she's saying, like, look, you want to be an adult, do whatever you want, but you don't get to punch women in the face in the boxing ring. 0.96

00:23:13.700 And you're not going to trans kids. 0.99

00:23:15.760 And while it seems peer pressure-y from the mainstream media and the liberals, and I'm probably repeating myself by making a distinction there,

00:23:26.160 normal people know what this is all about.

00:23:29.300 Like, normal people don't diverge from each other on this viewpoint.

00:23:33.400 And it is a viewpoint that kids should not be transed as minors and that parents should know and that men shouldn't fight women. 0.94

00:23:42.420 This is a viewpoint that spans political backgrounds.

00:23:46.540 And I see the liberals are already weighing in.

00:23:48.580 And I see Marcy Ian, Justin Trudeau's DEI minister, weighing in on how she thinks that 12-year-olds should be given cross-sex hormones.

00:23:57.180 Well, Marcy, I hope you campaign on that at the door.

00:23:59.640 Go door-knocking on that issue.

00:24:01.640 And we know that the liberals are already funding their culture war proxy groups, like EGAL, to drag Daniel Smith into court for the next five years to make sure that these policies are never fully implemented.

00:24:16.580 Because Justin Trudeau can't meddle in education and health.

00:24:20.420 Those are provincial jurisdictions.

00:24:22.060 So he funds these proxy groups with Canadian tax dollars to do it for him.

00:24:26.720 Now, I had to leave the event.

00:24:29.920 I couldn't stick around.

00:24:32.260 But I understand that you and Angelica went to the press conference.

00:24:36.640 Tell me what questions you two put to the premier.

00:24:39.780 And we'll show the clips.

00:24:41.660 Yeah, I did exactly.

00:24:43.320 I asked exactly that question.

00:24:44.960 I said, you know, Scott Moe in Saskatchewan has already brought in very similar parental notification policies.

00:24:50.980 And the proxies are already challenging him on this.

00:24:55.100 However, Scott Moe brought in the notwithstanding clause to shroud his legislation from legal challenges.

00:25:03.180 So the worst thing that can happen to his legislation is it is ruled operational but unconstitutional.

00:25:09.760 So it'll stay in operation regardless.

00:25:12.020 And so I asked Daniel Smith why she didn't do that.

00:25:14.960 My second question was along the same lines.

00:25:18.000 What professional consequences will schools or teachers face if they don't abide by this legislation?

00:25:23.300 So those were my two questions.

00:25:25.480 And in a complete renormalization of Rebel News, we were the second question asker at the press conference.

00:25:33.940 All right, let's take a look at those clips now.

00:25:35.900 Thank you for taking my questions, Premier Sheila Gunner-Reed for Rebel News.

00:25:38.700 My questions are regarding your slate of pro-child, pro-parent education policies that you announced this week.

00:25:47.620 Are you considering invoking the notwithstanding clause to shroud your recent policies from constitutional challenges the way we are seeing right now in Saskatchewan?

00:26:01.680 We are taking a bit of a different approach because we know that there is a section in the charter that allows for reasonable limits.

00:26:09.400 If you can use evidence-based to demonstrate that it's reasonable.

00:26:13.500 We believe that the court is going to look at that as they're examining our policies.

00:26:18.780 We've attempted to be very reasonable.

00:26:21.380 But we have lots of policies where minors have been restricted in their activities by government.

00:26:26.220 We have lots of policies where we affirm parental rights and choice.

00:26:30.780 And so I'm hopeful that the courts will look at these as that we've done our best effort to be reasonable.

00:26:37.780 And we won't have to look at the notwithstanding clause.

00:26:39.800 So we'll see how that goes, but it isn't going to be imprinted right off the clock.

00:26:44.260 Your policies are all well and good, but they don't really mean anything unless there's some sort of enforcement or consequences.

00:26:51.280 So what becomes, or have you considered what would become of a school or a teacher that didn't inform parents about a social transition that was happening at school?

00:27:00.340 Yeah, well, there's a couple of things.

00:27:01.640 I mean, we are going to regulate the medical practices for the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

00:27:08.120 And there's a disciplinary process within that regulatory body.

00:27:11.620 We will also have a separate disciplinary commission that we established a few years ago.

00:27:17.980 So if a family found that the teachers were violating the law, that would be a mechanism to be able to hold disciplinary hearings.

00:27:27.660 And then we'll work with the sports entities.

00:27:29.820 I mean, the sports entities have been asking for us to do this.

00:27:32.720 And so we want to make sure that we have not only categories for biological women and girls,

00:27:38.480 but also make sure that we can have some competitive categories so that all athletes can participate in the co-ed category.

00:27:47.280 So we'll have to do a little bit more work with the sports organizations, but we do have disciplinary processes in the other two cases.

00:27:54.460 Okay, so she basically said, I didn't invoke the notwithstanding clause because I don't want to close the door to legal challenges,

00:28:03.720 sort of like, you know, taking her libertarian approach.

00:28:07.040 And I trust the courts to get it right.

00:28:09.700 Well, that makes me nervous because...

00:28:12.200 Me too, because they don't get it right.

00:28:13.960 Yeah. And the courts are, there's different levels of courts.

00:28:18.440 The provincial court is appointed by the province.

00:28:20.640 So that has more of an Alberta sensibility.

00:28:22.960 But the superior courts are appointed by Justin Trudeau.

00:28:26.900 And he is making more and more radical appointments.

00:28:29.500 So to trust the courts, this decision will be made by a vote.

00:28:35.660 The question is how many people will vote on it?

00:28:38.600 Will it be one judge or three judges on a court of appeal panel?

00:28:42.880 Will it be the 80-odd people in the Alberta legislature?

00:28:47.720 Or will it be, I don't know, the 5 million people in Alberta?

00:28:50.400 Like, it will be a vote.

00:28:51.680 The only question is how small of an elite clique will vote on it.

00:28:55.800 I think if you had a referendum in Alberta, this would pass overwhelmingly.

00:28:59.760 It's obviously going to pass the legislature.

00:29:02.040 So why would you trust a handful of Justin Trudeau appointees?

00:29:06.840 There's a naivete there.

00:29:09.600 And I'm afraid that that's going to sink this because I have to tell you throughout the judiciary

00:29:16.580 in this country, they're being re-educated on trans stuff.

00:29:20.240 They're not even allowing dissent.

00:29:23.000 You know, entire law societies now require you to say your pronouns.

00:29:28.960 The trans issue, it's bad in the media, but it's even worse in judiciary.

00:29:32.600 I hope that Danielle Smith reconsiders and does what Scott Moe does and invokes the notwithstanding clause,

00:29:38.660 which, by the way, is part of the charter.

00:29:40.660 Some people say, oh, it's an attack on the charter to use the notwithstanding clause.

00:29:44.620 Really?

00:29:45.240 It's Section 33 of the charter.

00:29:47.800 How can it be an attack on the charter if it's part of the charter?

00:29:51.000 Well, and I sat in on the legal challenge because EGAL and the likes that are ramping up to challenge Daniel Smith,

00:29:58.480 they are still, regardless of the notwithstanding clause, dragging Scott Moe's government to court

00:30:02.900 because they want the law ruled, operational, yet unconstitutional.

00:30:08.600 And what that does is it will give activist teachers an end run around the law 0.81

00:30:14.200 because if it's unconstitutional, then if there's that ruling from a judge,

00:30:18.940 then it might give them a way around not facing professional consequences

00:30:22.740 for not alerting teachers or, excuse me, parents that they have been actively transing their kids at school.

00:30:29.960 So that's how vicious and aggressive these teachers, unions, and these activist groups are.

00:30:36.240 And I am very concerned that leaving this up to a panel of Trudeau appointed judges will result in disaster,

00:30:47.660 not just for the parents of Alberta who are relying on this piece of legislation, but for Daniel Smith.

00:30:54.760 Does she really want to give the radical left a win on this, an embarrassing win?

00:30:59.400 I think it's a political disaster.

00:31:00.900 You know, New Brunswick's former premier, ex-premier Blaine Higgs, took a very strong stand on this,

00:31:07.220 had a bit of a revolt in his party, but he was never higher in the polls.

00:31:10.520 I mean, let that fester for a year, and he lost because he didn't pull the trigger on it.

00:31:15.580 I think that the trans issue, especially Danielle Smith's fairly balanced approach on it, would carry the day.

00:31:22.480 And I hope she doesn't get stuck in a swamp on this.

00:31:25.380 In fact, the opposite, if things are called to a question, I think she should have a trans election, making it the key election. 0.73

00:31:34.000 And you want to see a wipeout of Confirmed Bachelor for him to campaign on what other kids can or can't do in secret is super gross.

00:31:46.560 And it's really creepy that Marcy Ian, I remember a while back she was tweeting, asking minor children to call her about their sexuality.

00:31:54.180 That is freaky, freaky Epstein-y stuff, but that's called normal in Trudofia. 0.98

00:32:02.160 Hey, I want to ask you about one last thing.

00:32:03.820 When I got there, I had heard that there was various groups who were opposed to Danielle Smith, and that's fine,

00:32:11.760 but they actually wanted to have a leadership review, even though she just won a majority election last year.

00:32:17.640 And I kept on thinking, well, what is she doing wrong?

00:32:20.460 I mean, she's doing better all the time.

00:32:22.760 She's found her sea legs.

00:32:24.200 She's taking strong stands.

00:32:25.860 She's suing Justin Trudeau, my favorite thing about her.

00:32:28.840 And I couldn't find anyone.

00:32:30.920 I mean, I talked to maybe a couple hundred people, grand total.

00:32:33.780 I couldn't find anyone who was mad at the premier.

00:32:36.840 And I thought, what is this rebellion?

00:32:39.080 And I saw these anonymous pamphlets that were a little too clever by half.

00:32:43.520 Like there was one with a lot of Arabic script on it.

00:32:47.060 Like, we support Danielle Smith and then all this Arabic script implying that she was like a Manchurian candidate for the Islamist community.

00:32:55.980 And I just thought, and these weren't signed.

00:32:58.020 And I thought, this is not persuasive.

00:32:59.920 This just looks like a dirty trick.

00:33:02.140 In the end, she got a resounding vote of confidence, didn't she?

00:33:07.860 Yeah, it was 91.5% of the voting delegates voted in favor of Premier Smith.

00:33:17.080 I'm not sure if that's the highest ever received by a sitting UCP premier, but it is pretty darn high.

00:33:23.520 In fact, it's higher than Nenshi's recent electoral results at 86%.

00:33:28.700 And unlike Nenshi, Smith has the support of both the party base and the MLAs and caucus.

00:33:36.280 Nenshi only has one of those, the party base, the MLAs.

00:33:41.740 No one's stepping aside for him to run.

00:33:43.920 He has to run the party from the gallery of the legislature.

00:33:48.300 He doesn't have a seat.

00:33:49.420 And I can't see him getting a seat in the near future.

00:33:53.080 But yeah, there were some dirty tricks.

00:33:55.100 A lot of people were robocalled by something called the Islamic Academic Foundation.

00:34:00.140 But if you call that robocall number back, you can't get through to anybody.

00:34:03.180 There were pamphlets being left around, as you said, basically saying, vote for Danielle because she'll bring in Sharia law. 1.00

00:34:10.240 I mean, it was a bit of a psyop.

00:34:12.100 And frankly, a lot of the people there found it very insulting because it plays on the left's bigoted tropes about conservatives.

00:34:21.320 That they're, you know, like anti-Muslim, they're Islamophobic, all this stuff, and to sort of drive people away from Daniel Smith.

00:34:30.240 But as you said, they were unsigned.

00:34:32.160 People aren't stupid.

00:34:33.260 And I think at the end, it blew up in the dirty tricksters' faces.

00:34:40.900 I think the convention was larger than anticipated because people came to undo the dirty tricks.

00:34:48.660 I think people who probably might not have waited in that hours-long line to vote for Daniel Smith said, look, the dirty tricksters are out.

00:34:57.020 She needs our vote.

00:34:57.900 And we're going to stand here for, like, literally hours and hours, I think it completely backfired.

00:35:03.900 They strized and defected themselves, and I hope they learn a lesson.

00:35:06.580 Yeah.

00:35:06.940 Well, I understand that one of the activists against Danielle Smith was David Parker of Take Back Alberta.

00:35:13.680 And I've been to a David Parker event.

00:35:15.760 He brought in Dr. James Lindsay that gave a great speech in Calgary.

00:35:19.100 I thought that was a very productive, useful thing.

00:35:21.780 I mean, hundreds of people came out for it.

00:35:25.120 I've seen Take Back Alberta do some very useful, civic-minded things.

00:35:30.960 This felt a little odd.

00:35:33.100 And I'm glad there are right-wing activist populist groups out there.

00:35:36.900 Absolutely.

00:35:37.800 Like I say, to be a counterweight against the left.

00:35:40.220 But I just think he was wrong on this one.

00:35:42.600 And he sent out a letter today basically admitting so.

00:35:45.600 Who were the other people behind it?

00:35:47.280 Let me ask you a question.

00:35:48.260 Were there any people who are holding out a candle, a flame, that Jason Kenney will return from exile and take over the party?

00:35:58.540 Like, you can't beat someone with no one.

00:36:00.620 So if someone wants to take down Danielle Smith, I guess they could be a secret agent for the NDP.

00:36:06.540 But it's probably someone within the Conservative Party who thinks they can be king.

00:36:10.420 Other than Take Back Alberta, who would, like, qui bono, as they say in Latin, who benefits, follow the money, who would be behind the anti-Danielle Smith campaign?

00:36:25.540 Well, and I think that's the thing.

00:36:26.920 There's a lot of the people who are saying, like, who would do this?

00:36:32.340 There's nobody else.

00:36:33.420 Like, I don't think Brian Jean wants the job.

00:36:35.400 He seems to be happy to be a minister in Danielle Smith's cabinet and be, like, a loyal soldier for Danielle Smith.

00:36:42.800 He used to be the perennial challenger for the leadership.

00:36:45.560 He's not involved in any of this.

00:36:47.320 Besides Take Back Alberta, there's something called the 1905 committee.

00:36:52.700 And many of those people, there's a Venn diagram of them and your local PPC supporter that's probably closer to a circle.

00:37:02.920 There are some Kenny loyalists way back in the background who are just out there to sabotage the premier.

00:37:09.940 A lot of people who are saying that she's not sovereigntist enough.

00:37:14.700 So some former Maverick Party members in Alberta.

00:37:18.560 So there's some of that, but I think the fact that the membership voted 91.5% for the premier should send all these people a message.

00:37:28.160 Look, you want to hold the premier to account for the things that she's saying and doing great.

00:37:33.800 But don't undermine her when she is the most freedom-minded premier in the country and one of the leaders of the political freedom movement, I think, in North America.

00:37:43.900 Yeah. Well, I was very glad to see all of it, to see the huge turnout, to see the 91.5%, to see the fact that so many people there felt comfortable with Rebel News as a keeper of the ideological flame.

00:37:56.640 And that's how I regard ourselves.

00:37:58.460 I have a personal relationship with a number of people in high office.

00:38:03.100 I mean, I went to school with Danielle Smith some 30 years ago.

00:38:06.620 I, you know, Naheed Nenshi, I went to school with him, too.

00:38:09.440 He was my debating partner for two years in university.

00:38:11.880 So I know some of these people, and I have certain degrees of affection.

00:38:16.240 I'm actually friendlier with Naheed.

00:38:18.060 I was friendlier with him than you might expect because we were, you know, we were a team.

00:38:22.280 We were in college together, and, you know, I'm not close with him at all.

00:38:25.620 I haven't talked to him in years.

00:38:27.080 But if I want to be taken seriously as someone with political opinions and someone with a, you know, a definitive ideology, I have to call it as I see it.

00:38:37.860 And let me tell you, if Danielle Smith gets off the path, I will criticize her, as I did very vigorously when she did that dirty deal with Jim Prentiss a decade ago. 0.76

00:38:47.960 But I call it like I see it.

00:38:50.600 Danielle Smith is the strongest freedom fighter in the premiers.

00:38:54.640 And, you know, don't make the perfect the enemy of the good.

00:39:00.100 And I think a lot of her critics were just sort of like prickly porcupines who like to be prickly because it's a personality trait as opposed to having an alternative plan.

00:39:09.820 I give you my promise, Sheila, and I know it's the same promise you give me, that if they stray on the path, you and me will be the first to criticize.

00:39:16.540 But that is not the case right now.

00:39:18.760 I'm glad the party had the wisdom not to go through a civil war over this.

00:39:23.520 Last word to you.

00:39:25.220 I agree with you.

00:39:26.220 And I think we've proven ourselves to be honest critics of fellow small C conservatives all along the way.

00:39:36.660 I was hopeful for Andrew Scheer.

00:39:38.580 I became one of his loudest critics.

00:39:40.360 I kind of like the guy again.

00:39:41.700 He's a better MP than he was a leader.

00:39:43.440 Yeah.

00:39:43.880 But O'Toole, likewise, I thought maybe he would be a true blue conservative.

00:39:51.160 You could not get a louder critic of that vegetable lasagna style politician than me, Jason Kenney.

00:39:58.860 I was a proponent of uniting the two parties to stave off the NDP.

00:40:03.480 I thought I was getting Stephen Harper's lieutenant Jason Kenney instead of globalist Jason Kenney.

00:40:09.820 And the second he strayed, you know, the honest critics were us here at Rebel News.

00:40:15.440 And we will, I promise, not just for the sake of the province, but for Danielle Smith's sake, too, that we will be her loudest, most honest critics when she steps a foot out of line.

00:40:28.200 Yeah, well, it's going to be very interesting times.

00:40:30.980 And I think that you put your finger on it when you say the resistance will come from a mutiny in the public sector teachers.

00:40:40.440 The only saving grace is that Alberta has a very vigorous charter school alternative.

00:40:47.160 And hopefully that the shenanigans by these unionized NDP activists, you know, dressed up as teachers who are actually political activists in the classrooms is that in Alberta, more than anywhere else in the country, there is an escape hatch.

00:41:03.060 And it'll be interesting to watch.

00:41:05.900 I know you'll be on top, but Sheila, thanks for the update.

00:41:08.800 Thanks, boss.

00:41:09.460 All right.

00:41:09.920 There you have it.

00:41:10.300 Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter.

00:41:12.580 Stay with us.

00:41:13.720 Your letters to me next.

00:41:26.880 Hey, welcome back.

00:41:27.860 Your letters to me about our interview with Andy Lee.

00:41:31.300 Wes Wojcicin says, release the names of the others.

00:41:35.480 What is Trudeau trying to hide or cover up?

00:41:37.740 Absolutely.

00:41:38.500 I don't know why they're keeping secret the names of these 11 parliamentarians.

00:41:42.720 If they're guilty, let's know about it.

00:41:45.520 If they're innocent, let's have them disputed.

00:41:48.100 But we can't have them credibly accused working within the bosom of government.

00:41:52.780 That's insane.

00:41:54.780 Jeff Hilstead says, I am worried about the B.C. election, also the 2021 federal election.

00:41:59.280 Indeed, you should be, and I'm worried about tomorrow's U.S. election.

00:42:04.840 Barbara Yamka says, Mary Ng should lose her pension.

00:42:11.260 You're talking about the liberal cabinet minister.

00:42:13.620 You know, there were proud pro-Canadian, Chinese-Canadian MPs,

00:42:17.420 but they were driven out by these Chinese activists.

00:42:20.380 It's a shame.

00:42:22.200 It's our show for today.

00:42:23.420 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,

00:42:26.320 to you and all, good night.
