EZRA LEVANT | Trudeau blinks; the truckers win; the Emergencies Act is dropped. But it has shown us who the tyrants were, didn’t it?


Summary

Why should others go to jail when you don't have to pay the price for carbon emissions? Why should others be jailed when you can't pay your carbon taxes? Why does the government have the power to fine truckers who don't pay their carbon tax? What is the difference between a thief and a thief?

00:00:00.000 tonight trudeau blinks the truckers win the emergencies act is dropped but it has shown
00:00:21.040 us who the tyrants were didn't it it's february 23rd and this is the as for the band show
00:00:25.520 why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer i know there's 8 500 customers
00:00:33.680 here and you won't give them an answer the only thing i have to say to the government
00:00:37.920 is because it's my bloody right to do so
00:00:41.840 the house of commons debated the emergencies act and it passed with the grotesque support of the
00:00:53.340 ndp to their everlasting shame the ndp then in 1970 voted against pierre trudeau's war measures act
00:01:02.540 this time they were shamefully united with trudeau because they're moral cowards and they would
00:01:09.180 rather avoid an election in which they would surely lose seats they'd rather have their own personal
00:01:16.060 comfort than stand for civil liberties and think of every liberal mp who violated civil liberties
00:01:23.820 themselves liberal liberties the root word is the same in latin it comes from the word for freedom
00:01:30.060 but we now know that liberals do not believe in freedom they believe in power we also know that
00:01:35.980 so many of the people in society who call themselves the keepers of liberty the keepers of our society
00:01:42.620 they're liars the biggest advocates for the emergencies act other than the thuggish police chief
00:01:50.540 many of them and the violent police rank and file who were let loose the biggest advocates were
00:01:56.140 journalists and they raged and raged at anyone who dared to disagree with them i showed yesterday how
00:02:03.820 many journalists were raging against the new york times for daring to report that trudeau deployed men with
00:02:09.660 guns they you know they just couldn't handle the contradiction being shoved in their face
00:02:15.260 that these liberal journalists were shilling for a police state when we documented it at rebel news
00:02:22.540 they could discount it oh that's rebel news but when the new york times said it they couldn't make it go away
00:02:27.980 so they shrieked imagine being someone who decided to burn up their personal political capital
00:02:36.620 to support such a tyrant literally today as trudeau was writing his short speech
00:02:41.980 announcing that he was blinking and abandoning the emergencies act his shills in the senate
00:02:47.660 were standing up and torching their reputations by speaking in favor imagine burning up a lifetime of
00:02:54.220 political capital only to have trudeau walk away from it a moment later oh well it was a useful exercise
00:03:01.100 to see who went along with it to see who would cheer and follow orders which politicians
00:03:08.060 including those in the conservative party who condemned the truckers in the same language
00:03:13.660 the cowards in the liberal party who announced that they were very much against it but that they were
00:03:20.060 going to vote for it against their conscience because trudeau was forcing them to that's not a thing
00:03:26.540 by the way each mp controls their own vote but they said that liberals said they were voting against
00:03:32.460 their conscience and against the charter because trudeau told them to they really do they really
00:03:38.940 will do anything to follow orders the carnage here the carnage the smashed reputation of canada's banks
00:03:48.780 who went along with the seizure of private accounts that smashed reputations of the mps of the liberals and
00:03:55.500 the ndp the parties of the left the smashed reputations of the police i'll never forgive them
00:04:01.740 and all for what trudeau is a disgrace but he has disgraced canada too there is no canadian reputation
00:04:09.980 around the world like there once was we are a laughing stock now we are like belarus a small
00:04:17.020 european country that defiled its reputation with stalinist cruelty
00:04:21.980 do you really think they're done though i don't trudeau and christia freeland both warned us
00:04:29.100 that they want the financial powers forever uh in terms of the financial instruments which our government is
00:04:40.300 using right now to act against these illegal blockades and illegal occupation uh we reviewed very
00:04:50.540 very very carefully the tools at the disposal of the federal government uh and we used all the tools
00:04:59.740 that we had prior to the invocation of the emergencies act and we determined that we needed some additional
00:05:08.140 tools now some of those tools uh we will be putting forward uh measures to put those tools permanently in
00:05:17.260 place uh the authorities of fin track i believe do need to be expanded to cover crowdsourcing platforms
00:05:25.900 uh and uh payment platform and their payment providers uh so that's that is something that we
00:05:34.700 need to do and we will do and that needs to be in place permanently uh some of these other tools
00:05:40.780 uh like uh the sharing of information between law enforcement and financial services and the requirement of
00:05:51.180 financial services to be reviewing their accounts proactively and the immunity from prosecution that
00:05:59.260 we have provided to them in doing this these are extraordinary measures measures that we absolutely
00:06:06.220 believe are necessary in the current circumstances that are having an impact and let me also point
00:06:11.660 out having a peaceful impact uh and the other aspect of the financial tools that i would point
00:06:18.780 to as being really effective and important is uh being clear that insurance on trucks
00:06:27.340 that participate in these illegal occupations and blockades will be suspended
00:06:32.860 so we didn't have those tools i don't believe that those tools should be part of the toolbox of a
00:06:41.420 government in ordinary times but they are necessary in these extraordinary circumstances and uh they are having
00:06:49.580 a very uh clear impact do you suddenly trust trudeau and freeland now why would you it is relevant
00:06:58.460 that christia freeland's grandfather was a nazi it is relevant that she helped him cover that up i'm
00:07:04.540 curious what political lessons he taught her that she's applying now but i should tell you the
00:07:10.860 emergencies are not over there is an official state of emergency in ontario that the fool doug ford invoked
00:07:18.220 and it is being used brutally being used by trudeau actually let me show you how look at this story that
00:07:24.140 i just saw today in the truck news mto that's the ministry of transportation of ontario grounds
00:07:30.780 trucking businesses involved in freedom convoy protests it's from today's trucking a trudeau
00:07:38.380 publication by which i mean they take trudeau's media bailout the ontario ministry of transportation
00:07:43.820 has effectively shut down 39 trucking businesses in the wake of a crackdown on so-called freedom convoy
00:07:48.780 protestors oh just that so they're protesters who as far as we know have not been charged with any crime
00:07:57.660 but they've just had their businesses shut down what does that mean to have your business
00:08:01.740 shut down the business they've built up their whole lives maybe a a truck a company license insurance
00:08:07.660 all the parts of it just just ended no trial no judge no hearing no appeal no ruling just happened just
00:08:14.460 done and of course it was done by doug ford but at ottawa's direction so there still is an emergency
00:08:21.580 act in effect in the city of ottawa and the province of ontario doug ford is just stupid enough to let it
00:08:27.820 be on him stupidity for sure let me show you the stupidest thing i've seen all day you really have to see
00:08:34.300 this to know the moral and intellectual character the people who rule over you so this is from your
00:08:38.860 ara sax that's i as i said yesterday she's in a battle to the death with seamus o'regan for the
00:08:44.860 title of stupidest mp uh in the country and i'm rooting for her because she's my mp in north toronto
00:08:51.580 here she is inconsequential in every other way for all i know she has never set foot on parliament hill
00:08:56.860 never done anything for all i can detect i literally wouldn't know the difference
00:09:01.420 until this spectacular speech in favor of martial law how many guns need to be seized
00:09:10.380 how much vitriol do we have to see of hong hong which is an acronym for hail hitler
00:09:17.100 do we need to see by these protesters on social media imagine saying that and then having trudeau
00:09:23.980 throw it out she thinks hong hong stands for hile hitler but she can't really believe that can she
00:09:30.460 i mean she just she was just told to say that right because it's so ridiculous but she's jewish
00:09:35.100 so she only has one use to trudeau which is to convince jews to vote liberal and to smear
00:09:39.900 non-liberals as nazis so of course they gave her that ridiculous speech to read i mean seamus
00:09:44.860 o'regan wouldn't work with him so she read it she's like uh ron burgundy the fictional newscaster who
00:09:51.500 would literally read anything put in his teleprompter hey you're making me look stupid get out here
00:09:58.940 panda jerk great story compelling and rich well that's going to do it for all of us here at channel
00:10:07.260 4 news you stay classy san diego i'm ron burgundy yeah i'm so proud of my local mpr sex she really
00:10:16.700 was world famous for stupidity and so i feel special but she obviously felt stung by the worldwide
00:10:23.580 reaction to that speech that went viral internationally so she doubled down she tried
00:10:28.460 to prove she was right i swear here's what she said she went on twitter and said for those who
00:10:33.260 think that hong hong is some innocuous joke i'll just leave this here so she tweeted this as proof
00:10:39.500 this is a thread outlining a crazy conspiracy theory let's skip straight to this image just take a look
00:10:46.460 at that there this looks like it's from a humorous troll website called 4chan it's where teenagers
00:10:53.260 cook up schemes and share jokes and tricks on the normies normal people you might be able to detect
00:10:59.660 a little bit of that from the frog dressed up as a clown and the fact that the message is written by
00:11:06.780 anonymous do you see that you can also see that it's dated february 19th so long after the honking
00:11:14.060 had been ordered stopped by the judge so this was just someone who cooked up a joke on the weekend
00:11:18.060 and look what he says he says why honk honk is the next okay sign honk honk equals hh if you honk you're
00:11:27.660 a honky and hh presumably is hitler that's where you are sex and so let me repeat this is a joke
00:11:35.740 website by anonymous jokesters maybe the clown gave it away i don't know maybe the reference to the next
00:11:41.740 okay sign these are the people who made the hoax that the okay hand symbol is a hate symbol
00:11:48.460 and the idiots in the mainstream media ate it up it was it was a joke to trick them everyone makes that
00:11:54.140 hand symbol from time to time you might detect that this is a joke but yara sacks literally cites this
00:12:01.180 anonymous frog clown who makes reference to the last hoax the liberals bought and comes up with the
00:12:07.820 craziest theory and i mean seriously he even says the word honk is related to honky
00:12:15.420 which is a derogatory word for white people and yara sacks cites this as her authority this is why
00:12:23.100 she said canada had to be under martial law for those who think that hong kong is some innocuous joke
00:12:31.180 yeah you are the joke you literally link to a clown referring to a past joke making to a new joke
00:12:37.740 you're that stupid congratulations to everyone involved so that's the funny part my mp is the
00:12:44.780 dumbest in canada take that seamus o'regan we're not done though uh there are emergency powers across
00:12:53.340 the country i mentioned ontario's of course there are emergency style powers being used to justify
00:12:59.500 forced vaccine mandates being used to justify no-fly lists against unvaccinated people as if
00:13:05.100 they're terrorists being used to justify every sort of cruelty that was once unthinkable i think the
00:13:12.540 truckers have a win today but the cruelty of the state remains with us i think justin trudeau's next move
00:13:20.300 will be to do it right he'll make sure there's no pesky independent journalists before he goes to
00:13:26.860 implement martial law that's what i predict stay with us more ahead
00:13:44.300 well as you know the leader of the convoy is a mysterious question i suppose because i don't
00:13:50.300 think there really was a leader i think so much of it was organic it was sort of um spontaneous
00:13:57.100 there were different threads of the convoy there were different convoys there were
00:14:00.860 convoys heading from different parts of the country there were blockades in different parts
00:14:05.260 there was coots there was emerson there was the ambassador bridge there was ottawa there was surrey
00:14:10.860 there may have been some chatter back and forth but i really think they were local locally inspired you
00:14:17.180 know they say think globally act locally i think that's really what happened i think the ottawa movement
00:14:23.660 uh may have had some more official people but again what does that even mean if it's just a trucker
00:14:29.660 deciding to go along with it i think the woman who can be called the leader if there was a leader
00:14:36.940 is a young metis woman from the west named tamara litch who herself is not a trucker
00:14:41.180 but was inspired by them and inspired them and she is the one who put up the gofundme page that
00:14:49.020 caught fire raised 10 million dollars before it was shut down at trudeau's bidding
00:14:54.540 she then set up a new account at give send go and that was hacked and seized by a bank so i don't
00:15:00.860 know how much of that money has actually flowed to truckers i don't think the answer is much at all
00:15:05.580 and i'm not sure if tamara litch was like a commander giving orders i just don't think
00:15:10.780 that was her style her facebook videos were very much more emotional and heartfelt
00:15:17.100 but if there was the leader of the truckers i say it would be her although again i say i don't think
00:15:23.500 the men in coots or emerson or surrey even know her that said she was arrested the other night on the
00:15:31.980 street in ottawa taken into custody and yesterday was her bail hearing for what for riot for sedition
00:15:41.180 for insurrection for some serious crime like that no for inciting mischief incredibly
00:15:51.100 she was not granted bail murderers in this country are granted bail terrorists are granted bail
00:15:58.460 but not a trucker accused of mischief joining us now via skype from ottawa is a lawyer who watched
00:16:05.900 the proceedings matt wolfson he is with david amber law a firm that works with rebel news and the
00:16:11.740 democracy fudge matt matt joins us now via skype matt thanks very much for taking the time you're a
00:16:17.020 lawyer in ottawa you practice criminal law from time to time i take it actually we practice exclusively
00:16:23.500 criminal law and quasi criminal such as regulatory offenses like highway traffic act well that would
00:16:29.820 be right on point because of course i don't think there's been any crimes that have been charged in
00:16:35.900 the city of ottawa i don't think there were any violence committed i think they would have been
00:16:40.060 parking type offenses tickets really or mischief which is really the lowest species of any
00:16:45.980 criminal charge i can imagine
00:16:47.420 um by the way you guys are taking cases for the democracy fund which i think is great um
00:16:55.260 refresh my memory because it's been ages since i was in criminal court i used to be a lawyer way
00:17:00.540 back in the day the two tests for keeping someone in jail while they await trial are number one
00:17:09.740 are they a flight risk as in will they run away and not come back to court on their hearing
00:17:14.700 and number two are they a danger if they're out so jeffrey epstein for example who had multiple
00:17:22.620 passports and private jets obviously he was a flight risk and then there's the danger would you commit
00:17:30.060 more crimes neither of these things i can imagine would normally be applied to a trucker accused of
00:17:37.180 mischief but there you have it she she wasn't granted bail was she no she was not as for a few
00:17:45.900 things in response to that is uh i think there are going to be a wide array i think there have been a
00:17:51.500 wide array of uh charges coming down the pike in relation to this uh demonstration as you've identified
00:17:58.140 the most common one does seem to be mischief through interference uh with lawful use or enjoyment of
00:18:04.060 property we're also seeing a lot of breach of court order under section 127 that's the injunction and
00:18:11.260 you can imagine a lot of protest related uh resist peace officer type charges would be coming down the
00:18:17.500 pike what you say about the two tests for bail uh historically that was accurate but in 2002 the
00:18:24.380 supreme court decided a case called hull which has been codified into the criminal code and that third
00:18:30.460 prong really is the uh public repute to the administration of justice in other words the
00:18:36.460 confidence in the administration of justice should a person be released miss lich was detained on the
00:18:42.300 second ground as you identified the substantial likelihood of committing new offenses and of the
00:18:48.540 third criterion as well the repute of the administration of justice okay so i thank you for
00:18:55.260 correct me on that it's been a while since i was in a criminal court um so they say that the reputation
00:19:04.460 of the law requires she be held behind bars omer cotter convicted terrorist war criminal murderer
00:19:14.460 i guess that didn't bring the justice system into disrepute i was just going through different cases of
00:19:19.820 accused murderers who have been let out on bail i just don't understand how tamara litch who is a
00:19:29.260 harmless political organizer the worst thing she ever did was say the phrase hold the line which i don't
00:19:37.340 know quite what that even means if all the truckers have left ottawa i don't know how that's what mischief
00:19:43.020 she could get up to if the truckers are gone but that was used to keep her behind behind bars
00:19:50.460 yeah well i mean i won't get into you know different cases for comparison because each case
00:19:55.820 is going to turn on its facts what i will state is you've correctly identified as were that quite often
00:20:02.380 when looking at that third criterion um we're often going to be looking at the severity of the
00:20:08.700 offense and the harms that come with it and granted this was by no means a means offense
00:20:14.460 this was uh you know it's generally unusual for a person to be detained on mischief alone although
00:20:22.220 miss litch was charged with another offense as well but nothing about this has been usual this has been
00:20:27.820 quite unprecedented and unprecedented and what uh justice bourgeois really um for lack of better
00:20:37.180 terminology hung her hat on was that this was a protest or a demonstration that uh contributed to
00:20:47.020 in her words the financial physical and uh mental harm to the the people of ottawa her view was that
00:20:54.700 miss litch was uh counseling and continued to counsel at the time of her rest when the truckers were
00:21:00.300 still there it was for that reason that her honor believed that there'd be a substantial likelihood that
00:21:05.340 she would continue to counsel more mischief well she better stay in prison than i guess you know um
00:21:11.900 i didn't see it till afterwards but this judge bourgeois is her name um is a liberal now normally i
00:21:18.940 don't think i would heavily remark on that because most judges have a political hue which is how they
00:21:25.020 suck up to the justice minister of the day and typically liberal justice ministers appoint liberal lawyers
00:21:31.260 and conservative justices appoint liberal lawyers but um what's different about this judge is she
00:21:38.860 wasn't just a liberal she was a liberal candidate for whom justin trudeau campaigned there's a
00:21:45.820 video circulating of trudeau stumping for this judge when she was a lawyer she failed as a political
00:21:53.900 candidate was given the appointment to the bench and of all the judges in ottawa she was the one
00:22:00.140 assigned this case and her ruling was very political how would this judge have been chosen
00:22:07.820 for this case could the government have shopped around and chosen their judge would it have been
00:22:13.020 assigned by the chief judge of all the judges in the country to hear the case of trudeau's most
00:22:21.180 unrepentant political critic for it to go to this judge seems highly unusual to me
00:22:26.460 yeah i i don't know that's right i really don't have too much comments about that i i don't have
00:22:34.300 any reason to think or comment about this being a politically motivated appointment to the case
00:22:40.940 all i can state is uh in canada we are very very lucky to have a um to have a very well appointed judiciary
00:22:51.260 with a lot of integrity and wit and um i just have nothing but confidence in the members of our bench
00:22:59.900 they serve with a lot of integrity and they're some of the top legal minds in the country well i think
00:23:05.740 you are uh saying what you have to say as an officer of the court and of course you don't want the law
00:23:11.740 society to come after you so fair deal i'll leave that alone now i was surprised um to learn because
00:23:17.820 i was following along i wasn't watching the video online i was watching other journalists live tweet
00:23:22.620 it and it didn't feel to me like um tamara litch had legal counsel the the things she was saying her
00:23:31.260 the things that her guarantor were saying felt um like they were unpracticed or felt like they were just
00:23:40.060 providing too easy a way for the the government to hold her in jail but you you're saying that there was
00:23:46.620 a lawyer and i think i confirmed that that the justice center for constitutional freedoms
00:23:50.460 actually did hire senior legal counsel for is that true she was represented by counsel yes um and in
00:23:58.620 response to what you just said ezra this is this was a bail hearing with probably some of the most
00:24:05.100 unusual evidence that you could expect nothing was well very little was usual about this uh bail hearing
00:24:12.300 it was quite entertaining i think what you might be alluding to really is the um the way in which
00:24:18.780 her proposed surety testified um it it wasn't it wasn't great so the proposed surety that's basically
00:24:26.780 if someone says look i'll i'll take responsibility for this woman i'll make sure that she doesn't get
00:24:31.660 into trouble i'll keep an eye peeled on her that's what you mean by a surety the person who is basically
00:24:36.220 going to say i'll be a human checker upper your honor is that right yeah basically you're jailer
00:24:41.500 in the community a responsible person to ensure that uh that the accused is abiding by the conditions
00:24:49.100 of his or her release and you're and you think that maybe some of the things that the the proposed uh
00:24:54.540 guarantor surety said may have given you you say was entertaining or unusual is there anything in
00:25:00.940 particular you can tell us about it like what what was weird about it well the top thing that came to
00:25:06.620 my mind was uh the crown prosecutor questioned uh her husband the proposed surety as to uh how he had
00:25:16.060 uh come to ottawa and this is in the context of him stating that he didn't really have uh finances or he
00:25:25.580 wasn't eating very much when he came to ottawa and yet he noted that he came to ottawa by plane uh and
00:25:32.540 it came out later in evidence that he came by private plane now when pressed who when pressed on
00:25:38.780 who paid for his ticket he said he didn't know the person who paid for his ticket he then changed his
00:25:44.540 answer and uh stated that he um he didn't want to give his name and then he gave his first name so that
00:25:52.860 was a bit of evasive testimony that i really think disqualified him as a person the court could count
00:25:59.740 on as uh could count on to be assuredy well that is too bad if that's the case i can understand why
00:26:07.500 someone would not want to disclose who helped a fella fly out there given the witch hunt uh i'm i'm
00:26:14.220 guessing that he was afraid that if he named whoever sent the plane that he would cause that person to
00:26:21.420 have their bank account frozen um i mean it it sounds goofy on one from one point of view but
00:26:28.700 another point of view is i'm pretty sure that if that person were identified they would find themselves
00:26:35.740 with their plane seized their bank account seized and their their business licensure and their insurance
00:26:42.700 canceled i mean i it i don't think it's quite as goofy as it looks i think it's because we live under
00:26:48.940 suspended civil liberties right now that's that's my explanation of what you just said yeah well it's
00:26:55.340 uh i mean we still don't know who that person is since people have their loyalties no doubt i think
00:27:01.020 one thing that you're alluding to is as res uh a lot of what's going on down there has is i think
00:27:08.860 has been symptomatic of the divided country and um there are people who are going to take one position or the
00:27:16.460 other and are going to be looked on with a lot of suspicion by those on the other side
00:27:23.260 um when is the hearing so how long is she going to be in jail now um is there a date set or is she
00:27:31.260 going to be in jail indefinitely does it make sense to try and appeal this bail ruling or is she going to
00:27:36.460 be out in a week or so anyways so what can happen what what normally would happen is after 90 days there
00:27:44.380 would be a detention review if there hasn't been a review already the superior a judge of the superior
00:27:50.780 court would look to see whether or not the uh the detention should have been ordered whether or not
00:27:56.380 that person should still be detained and the purpose of that is to ensure that people don't
00:28:00.860 need to languish in custody unnecessarily what can happen in the interim and before that is under section
00:28:07.260 520 of the criminal code the accused can review um can the accused can request the court to review the
00:28:15.500 order to see whether or not it should have been made in the first place and um whether or not that's
00:28:20.700 going to happen soon i'm not sure well i think i think it's notable that the again i'm not sure if i
00:28:27.980 would call her the leader of the truckers i think the truckers were in many ways leaderless but i think if
00:28:33.740 anyone could be called the leader of the truckers it would be her and it's remarkable to me that the
00:28:41.260 most effective political organizer or political critic of justin trudeau in years is thrown in prison
00:28:50.060 for mischief reasons and we just think that's fine as a society no not serious crimes the one of the most
00:28:59.900 minor crimes in the criminal code because her husband didn't want to say who sent him on a plane
00:29:06.300 out there so she languishes in prison for up to 90 days or longer i think that's deeply disgraceful on
00:29:14.700 the same legal system that claimed to put her in jail to keep up the reputation of the legal system
00:29:21.100 throwing trudeau's political opponent in prison for 90 days i don't think that has the effect that judge
00:29:27.340 bourgeois wants well listen i appreciate you speaking uh as an officer of the court i know
00:29:32.140 you're limited in what you can say and that's smart no use getting under uh no use having your
00:29:37.660 law uh license prosecuted because you say the wrong things and we're in dangerous days
00:29:43.100 i think lawyers for truckers and lawyers for anyone who's charged are in a dangerous position these days
00:29:51.100 so i'm glad that you and your firm are taking some of the cases for the truckers and uh
00:29:55.580 the democracy fund i know is is covering the bills for at least some of them so i thank you for that
00:30:00.300 work uh do you yourself have any of the cases that your firm has taken from people charged in the
00:30:06.140 convoy in ottawa well yeah we're on my end pertain some cases um and what i i just would like to say in
00:30:14.220 response to what you have uh just said ezra if i can weigh in pre-sentence and pre-trial custody
00:30:21.660 is supposed to be rare it is a very rare thing to be ordered and it's it's important that i note that
00:30:30.380 because people who are detained in custody have enormous pressure to bring the matter to a close
00:30:36.300 sooner and i think it's just worth noting that yeah well of course i mean uh we see that in alberta
00:30:45.820 too just sorry pastor arthur pavlovsky is thrown in prison he languishes in prison right now completely
00:30:52.540 non-violent man tamara litch wouldn't hurt a flea languishes in prison right now completely non-violent
00:30:59.580 woman both of them prosecuted under emergency rules i think it's a disgrace i'm glad you're
00:31:06.780 representing some of these folks and thanks for giving us an update on things matt appreciate it
00:31:12.380 thank you all right there you have it matt wolfson he's a lawyer with david amber law office
00:31:17.660 they are representing some of the truckers who were arrested in ottawa stay with us more ahead
00:31:29.580 hey welcome back your letters someone with the nickname truth seeker says
00:31:39.980 that criteria for a state of emergency was not met this is a criminal operation and these cops are
00:31:44.620 criminals canadians are getting the exact amount of tyranny they are prepared to tolerate freedom is
00:31:49.340 not free if you won't put your life on the line to protect your freedom some tyrant is going to come
00:31:53.980 along and take it from you and your children i don't think i would say police who were just out
00:31:59.660 on the street were criminals but the police who attacked alexa the police who attacked guillaume
00:32:06.940 our cameraman the police who stormed into a crowd on horseback injuring that elderly lady i would say
00:32:14.540 that those are crimes police can commit crimes and when they do they must be charged with those crimes
00:32:21.420 to maintain the reputation of the rest of the police i think it may go to the top i think that
00:32:26.940 the police chief obviously was a rogue police chief the previous chief in ottawa was fired i think because
00:32:32.780 he wouldn't do these terrible things so yeah i think that there have been some atrocious acts of policing
00:32:39.100 and even if other police didn't engage in the conduct they approved it
00:32:43.580 it someone with the nickname deborah star says you sure are scrambling because truth is getting out
00:32:51.900 there reaching more places and people well you know um today i checked and we had a milestone
00:32:58.460 last night i think we now have more than one million people who have signed up for rebel news emails one
00:33:04.860 million and my estimate is that we have based on analytics on twitter and youtube and rumble and
00:33:12.940 and other measurements is that in the last 30 days we have had 400 million views and impressions 400
00:33:21.260 million i think it took us like three years to get our first 400 million and we had 400 million in
00:33:27.820 the last month i really think the rebel news had a big role to play in shining a light of scrutiny on
00:33:33.180 things i don't want to take more credit than it's due and of course by credit i give it to our reporters
00:33:38.300 but i think that the enormous amount of coverage that rebel news achieved helped turn the tables
00:33:45.100 helped show people the evil that was afoot i think so dt hunter production says it is sobering
00:33:53.100 when we see so many people so willing to lie to others about what is happening with the refutable
00:33:58.220 video proof they still try to spin things in a disinformational narrative i've come to think
00:34:03.180 the liberals and the supporters are basically more interested in supporting the left of narrative
00:34:07.820 than to report accurate information that live that in the end could save lives of their fellow
00:34:12.620 countrymen oh there is no other excuse and and i think that you're going to see misinformation and
00:34:19.020 censorship as the next as the next move i think you're already seeing it let me leave you with our video
00:34:24.860 of the day ottawa police assaulting rebel reporters but investigating protesters for merely
00:34:31.500 hackling mainstream media it's a video by our friend david menzies until tomorrow on behalf of all of us
00:34:37.420 here at rebel world headquarters to you at home good night keep fighting for freedom david menzies for
00:34:43.580 rebel news here at ottawa police headquarters well folks there's going to be a press conference here soon
00:34:50.460 and we're going to go in if they let us in i think they will and i've got a couple of questions to ask
00:34:55.660 one why is it that my colleague alexa lavoie was shot point blank yesterday for simply practicing
00:35:03.340 journalism in public secondly was the emergency services act really needed to shut down this
00:35:10.300 peaceful demonstration i mean i don't think it met the benchmarks i.e uh the safety of canadians
00:35:17.500 are at stake the sovereignty of canada is threatened so i want to see what the chief of the ottawa police
00:35:24.940 service has to say about that i still can't say when uh we will ultimately need to complete this
00:35:31.900 operation because we now need to enter into a maintenance portion of it to make sure that what
00:35:37.900 occurred three weeks ago can never occur again so we will continue to have a posture protect their
00:35:44.700 streets where so we protect our community members from unlawful organizations like the curb
00:35:50.300 now we're moving forward for as long as it takes
00:35:58.540 we are here to be able to respect the laws under the emergency measures and we are going to continue
00:36:07.020 with the future
00:36:20.860 good afternoon chief uh david menzies with rebel news um chief can you kindly explain how it was that my
00:36:27.740 colleague to my right here alexa lavoie was shot point blank with a tear gas canister doing some very
00:36:36.780 painful damage to her what was the reason for that given that she was simply practicing journalism in
00:36:43.500 the public square uh so i'm unfamiliar with the incident you're speaking of what i can tell you is
00:36:49.740 that there is complaint mechanisms there is review mechanisms that will be engaged following this for
00:36:55.580 any use of force uh incident that occurred i'll also say that it's been my uh observations and
00:37:02.940 experience through the amazing extensive journalism coverage that's occurred through this that the
00:37:07.900 vast majority of our members have been extremely professional they have ex executed an extremely
00:37:14.780 methodical plan that has been focused on the safety of uh the residents the safety of our officers
00:37:21.820 and the safety of the people engaged in the protest given that the emergencies act requires certain
00:37:28.780 benchmarks to be met such as the safety of canadians must be at peril uh the sovereignty of the nation
00:37:36.220 must be at peril do you think those benchmarks were met given this was uh for what i could tell
00:37:44.220 a largely peaceful demonstration and protest so i guess i'm asking did you really need to have this act
00:37:51.740 invoked in terms of uh what were minor unlawful uh acts and uh basically bylaw infractions uh so what
00:38:01.900 the the federal government the provincial government both uh enacted legislation that was absolutely
00:38:08.700 supportive to helping us to end the illegal occupation of our streets uh what could be described as bylaw
00:38:15.660 infractions were actually terrorizing moments for the city uh for the city the residents and the
00:38:21.500 communities that came around those areas uh the powers that were provided to us through the
00:38:26.460 emergencies act through the provincial emergency act through the injunction and through any of the
00:38:31.980 other legislative means that we got to end this protest were extremely beneficial in us being able
00:38:37.980 to be where we are today see clear streets and have residents that can again walk through their downtown
00:38:43.660 core that they own thank you well folks i think that was fascinating first of all in terms of the
00:38:49.660 emergency services act the chief said it was essentially a good tool for them to carry out the um i guess
00:38:58.060 deconstruction of the protest site federal government the provincial government both uh enacted legislation
00:39:05.420 that was absolutely supportive to helping us to end the illegal occupation of our streets but really did
00:39:12.860 they need it i mean there were already laws and bylaws on the books that would allow police to move in and do
00:39:21.740 this in the first place uh i don't think there was any threat to the sovereignty of canada or any threat to
00:39:28.700 individual canadians in fact the crime rate during the so-called occupation went down in ottawa what does that
00:39:35.500 tell you and then of course he was unfamiliar with the assault to my colleague alexa lavoie uh so i'm
00:39:43.580 unfamiliar with the incident you're speaking of maybe the chief is telling the truth but given that it's
00:39:48.380 received international coverage i'm kind of taking his answer with a shovel full of salt and finally did you
00:39:55.500 catch what the chief said at the end he was lauding the media coverage of the demonstration and of the
00:40:03.180 take down of this weekend uh that would be the mainstream media coverage of course
00:40:11.660 i'd just like to make one uh just to make a couple more last comments if you don't mind please
00:40:15.900 so um first of all what i'd like to say is uh the the media coverage the participation from the media
00:40:22.780 throughout this has has been quite incredible um the the documentation of the activities that are going
00:40:29.660 on has given people the real life experience of what's occurring out there so for that i thank you
00:40:35.420 and then he said and this really stuck with me that he was um i guess disturbed perturbed by the fact
00:40:43.740 that some of the members of the mainstream media were subjected to verbal abuse i also know the media has
00:40:50.460 been subjected to um slurs to abuse to illegal activities to themselves so we have one active
00:40:59.820 investigation ongoing right now and i would ask that if there are any more activities that need
00:41:04.860 to be reported please report them to the ottawa police service because we will take them seriously
00:41:09.500 and conduct an investigation around those activities oh really they were called nasty names they were
00:41:16.780 maybe an f-bomb was dropped evan solomon's feelings and sensibilities got hurt and again i go back to
00:41:23.660 my uh colleague alexa she gets shot point blank and gets pepper spray in her face and it's uh oh well
00:41:30.700 nothing to see here i guess this confirms the police state we're in we have the government uh enabled
00:41:38.940 police services we have the government funded media and if you have a contrarian opinion
00:41:46.780 it doesn't matter nothing to see here folks move along move along i think that is a disgrace
00:41:53.340 for rebel news i'm david the menzoid menzies
