00:00:23.640 i'm david menzies and this is the ezra lavent show

00:00:30.000 shame on you you sensorious bug

00:00:34.800 where oh where is tammy sepatus who dat you ask well my bad her given name might be unfamiliar to 1.00

00:00:52.820 many but most will likely know tammy sepatus by her nickname which is batshite crazy human resources 1.00

00:01:01.400 lady from hell who has a bone to pick with freedom fighters the tammy sepatus story is all about

00:01:09.240 someone who loves the idea of cancel culture she's perfectly fine with giving someone a economic 1.00

00:01:16.620 death sentence for embracing wrong think hey diversity is our strength and all that

00:01:24.380 just not a diversity of opinions mind you but alas and alack much like an o henry short story

00:01:32.500 the tammy sepatus tale is full of irony with a twist ending to boot that's because this self-appointed 1.00

00:01:41.380 queen of cancellation apparently ended up canceling herself now before i ramble on let's check out that 1.00

00:01:49.840 infamous two minute slice of viral tiktok video evidence if you haven't seen it oh you're in for

00:01:56.640 a treat and by the way as you view the self-inflicted carnage just ask yourself imagine working for a

00:02:06.100 company in which miss sepatus heads up the human resources department there are some rights and

00:02:12.640 freedom that would tell you that but since you seem to forget that and you're all loud and proud with

00:02:17.520 your big thoughts and your big big ideas and you want to whatever and set up hot tubs in ottawa

00:02:23.500 i'm a recruiter it's a small small small industry smaller than you think same with hr so if you're

00:02:33.120 looking for a job or maybe trying to keep a job maybe just maybe think about what you're putting

00:02:42.880 on social media again freedom fighters i know you're not really big with stats and you know facts aren't

00:02:51.620 your thing you know but what i can tell you what is a fact is that recruiters talk and recruiters

00:02:59.540 like the majority of canada don't agree with you do you know what that means do you have any guesses

00:03:05.800 any guesses what that means what that means is that if you need a job you might not get one

00:03:11.000 if you want to keep a job you might not get to do that and you know what else hr is good at

00:03:18.060 documentation you know what that means you want to be we document it we give you a couple tries

00:03:27.540 then what do we do we terminate you with cause if we're so lucky if not we give you the minimum

00:03:34.380 allowed by law either way best of luck to you recruiters are watching hr is watching everywhere 0.83

00:03:43.080 and we hate you we hate you so much and you think we can't do anything but we can we have the power 0.65

00:03:52.920 always remember that doesn't matter if there's a man at the top of your hr department it's run by

00:03:59.820 women and it's run by angry women just like me i'm so so glad i got that off my chest it's been 1.00

00:04:09.320 eating me up inside and honestly my heart goes out to you guys i mean you have families to feed right

00:04:15.960 you brought your kids to this big event you're freedom fighters you're standing up oh they will

00:04:23.000 be so so proud so so so proud of you 0.96

00:04:26.540 yourself yourself love you hmm that unhinged rant those wackadoodle eyes that demented demeanor 1.00

00:04:37.940 it all reminds me of another loony lass oh yeah check it out you dirty bird how could you 1.00

00:04:48.220 misery chastain cannot be dead misery spirit is still alive i don't want her spirit i want her 0.99

00:04:56.260 and you murdered her of course the difference is that the kathy bates character in the 1990 film

00:05:03.540 misery was fictional whereas tammy sapatis is a real life monster chiller horror theater character

00:05:11.260 and good golly miss molly where does one even begin to unpack the insanity how would any company

00:05:19.400 think that someone so unhinged would make for a qualified human resources director i wouldn't

00:05:27.320 entrust this fruit loop to feed the fish in the office aquarium now i did reach out for tammy's side 0.96

00:05:34.500 of the story well i tried in a way i wanted to play the role of tiger woods's deceased daddy and

00:05:42.240 essentially ask her hey girl what in blue hell were you thinking tiger i am more prone to be inquisitive

00:05:53.560 to promote discussion i want to find out what your thinking was i want to find out what your feelings are

00:06:07.120 and did you learn anything you know folks i still can't believe that ad aired i mean the very idea of

00:06:17.240 tiger woods departed dad lecturing him on his shenanigans from the great hereafter and was that

00:06:26.000 ad like pre-recorded just in case nike's top spokes thingy ever got into some hot water and is this even

00:06:33.840 an ad because i have no idea what nike is trying to sell here but i think the goal was to produce

00:06:40.160 something profound and moving but to me it's cheesier than a bucket full of bulgarian feta

00:06:46.340 and it made me lol because i think the best form of comedy is unintentional humor but still the zombie

00:06:56.280 woods lecture to tiger woods does indeed apply to the curious case of miss separatist namely once again 0.94

00:07:03.400 tammy what were you thinking posting that tick tock video in any event we spent some two weeks

00:07:11.420 trying to track down tammy to get her side of the story i was really looking forward to that interview

00:07:17.420 but me thinks tammy has removed herself from the grid maybe she's curled up in the fetal position 0.96

00:07:24.820 in a jungle somewhere in costa rica i think that's where i would be and what i'd be doing

00:07:31.700 if i were in her stilettos this much is known about her tammy took an hr course at truanto seneca 0.57

00:07:39.480 college but the folks at seneca have no idea where she is employed right now i also got the idea from

00:07:46.840 the nice lady who answered the phone at seneca college that they are getting deluged with calls

00:07:52.140 about her so please don't pester the seneca people folks separatist might come across as a cancel

00:07:58.620 culture monster but seneca is not dr frankenstein then we heard tammy was the hr person at bowringer

00:08:07.660 ingelheim in burlington ontario i reached out to this company only to be informed that tammy departed

00:08:14.700 this firm some three years ago no mention if she resigned or was fired i can offer a guess though

00:08:22.740 by the way bowhanger ingelheim is a pharmaceutical company do you think they make a pill or a vaccine

00:08:31.540 to cure tammy's condition whatever that condition might be as well a linkedin profile of separatist is 0.89

00:08:40.260 now deleted wow what a surprise in the meantime the human resources professionals association

00:08:47.320 stated the following in a tweet quote hrpa is aware of this video posted by one of its regulated members

00:08:56.280 and does not condone or endorse in any way the statements made about hr practice therein

00:09:03.720 further hrpa is reviewing this matter to determine if there has been a breach of its rules of professional

00:09:11.940 conduct end quote so the human resources professionals association it issued that

00:09:20.260 statement some two weeks ago and apparently it's still studying if that rant is a breach of professional

00:09:27.540 conduct because the reader's digest translation of what tammy stated on tiktok is essentially this

00:09:35.380 if i disagree with you or your politics or your ideology i shall do whatever i can to end your career

00:09:41.060 oh and by the way psfu nice now one must wonder is this woman employable in the realm of human 0.97

00:09:51.060 resources anymore tammy has made it abundantly clear that she does not judge people on their merits 1.00

00:09:57.780 in the workplace rather like some fearsome bureaucrat plucked from orwell's 1984 tammy believes that 0.98

00:10:06.100 whether an employee remains an employee has much to do with what they do on their free time or how they 0.97

00:10:13.780 think or what causes they support hey big tammy is watching you sucker so smarten up and embrace her 1.00

00:10:22.820 thoughts and ideas or else and now that her rant has been viewed by some three million people the world

00:10:30.980 over an important question arises if tammy ever had a role in firing anyone in the past do you think 0.86

00:10:39.620 maybe we are talking a wrongful termination lawsuit given what we now know about her today oh well i'm sure

00:10:49.060 she'll show up somewhere i'm guessing at an alcoholics anonymous meeting in timbuktu in the meantime 0.95

00:10:56.980 poor tammy in the department of perverse irony maybe she really should have taken her own heartfelt advice 0.81

00:11:06.580 namely so if you're looking for a job or maybe trying to keep a job maybe just maybe think about what

00:11:17.620 you're putting on social media indeed because as the saying goes folks the internet is forever you know

00:11:25.540 normally i'd have a fair degree of sympathy for someone self-terminating his or her career but given

00:11:32.420 what tammy separatist stands for and given her position of power well her old position of power that is 1.00

00:11:40.820 it's hard to shed a tear she is the hunter who became the hunted she is an adherent of cancel culture

00:11:48.740 only to apparently cancel herself with her own unhinged words hey i'm not saying tammy separatist is 0.99

00:11:56.420 unemployable but while everybody loves a comeback story it is abundantly clear that she can't come 0.90

00:12:04.500 back to her chosen vocation of human resources that tick tock video revealed what's lurking 1.00

00:12:12.180 in tammy's warped mind and it's very ugly indeed

00:12:28.500 well folks while the trucker freedom convoys received the lion's share of publicity when they

00:12:34.820 descended upon ottawa and windsor there was also another trucker rally this one in little coots

00:12:42.980 alberta and while it might have been smaller the story that was told is really quite profound and i'm

00:12:49.940 delighted to be joined by my guest he is the producer of the documentary trucker rebellion the

00:12:57.460 story of the coots blockade and that would be kian simone how you doing there kian good how are you

00:13:02.980 david i'm doing great well you know what what a fantastic documentary um before we get into the

00:13:09.380 nitty-gritty why don't we throw to a few scenes from that doc that is now playing across canada

00:13:16.020 we're here for all auburns canadians we're here fighting for the freedoms of not us but our kids

00:13:24.020 our grandkids the future of this province this country we are prepared to put everything on the line

00:13:30.420 the small fringe minority of people who are on their way to ottawa or who are holding unacceptable views

00:13:45.540 i've also received reports uh in the last hour of people allied with the protesters assaulting rcmp

00:13:53.780 officers so jason kenny's statement was not true at the press release

00:14:06.500 i can tell you what i just told you sir

00:14:12.580 they have just blocked the border here in coots alberta to sweet grass montana

00:14:23.780 we don't want to put anybody's livelihood in jeopardy that is the very last resort

00:14:33.460 but this is something i don't well i've certainly never seen before freedom and peace and loving

00:14:40.020 that's the canadian way it's not like cbc or any of these other mainstream news channels are making it out

00:14:47.620 so there we have it you know kian why don't we talk about

00:15:10.180 your narrative versus what we saw from the mainstream media and of course the various governments

00:15:18.980 there was demonization there was vilification there was outright lying about crime and arson and

00:15:26.500 vandalism the precise opposite was true what when you were there in coots over those very cold weeks

00:15:34.660 observing this rebellion what how would you sum it up in the final analysis yeah so what you'll see

00:15:41.620 in the documentary is actually it's uh in a span of nine days and the whole thing is actually carried

00:15:46.180 through um from day one to day nine of statements from jason kenny and statements from the mainstream

00:15:52.180 media of what they were saying so i would put their clip in of what they would say and then the next

00:15:57.460 thing and then the and then the next thing coming up would be what actually happened so that's it's

00:16:04.340 really it was it was they got demonized and they were called names they were there there was a

00:16:09.060 statement that jason kenney made that um a trucker assaulted an rcmp officer and to this day that

00:16:15.300 statement has not been retracted which was not true so this is a false statement and there's been no

00:16:20.100 retraction of that yeah so the rcmp said the same thing at the top the the top dogs at the rcmp

00:16:26.100 but the the lower guys there you'll see like they there was a a member of the of the protest who

00:16:32.740 was speaking to the rcmp and the rcmp who was there when the supposed assault happened he never saw

00:16:38.820 anything and he was supposedly the one to report that unbelievable in fact kian i seem to recall

00:16:44.500 and correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't there a large piece of construction equipment that was

00:16:50.260 deliberately vandalized by the rcmp yeah i believe it was three excavators um which it's funny when

00:16:59.140 you tell a story but it's really not funny that it was on private property they went in without a

00:17:02.980 warrant anyway it's a funny story because they were seen from the protest from the border and the cops

00:17:09.860 went over to the owners and said can you move these can you move these out of the way they're like we

00:17:14.820 don't want them to be used in the protest so the owner's like sure i'll move them out of the way

00:17:18.980 and then after they got moved out of the way was when they got um sprayed uh foam sprayed by the rcmp

00:17:26.020 so they really wanted to move the excavators out of the way of the site of other people so that they could

00:17:32.900 break it that is despicable and i wonder if in the future there'll be some kind of a civil lawsuit

00:17:40.580 against that because this is the police operating above the law and nobody is above the law that was

00:17:46.900 absolutely like i said despicable but tell me i can't when you look at the rank and file truckers

00:17:53.620 and their allies that were part of the coots blockade how would you describe these people

00:18:01.540 sheila at the the previous screenings you've had for this documentary brings up a great point

00:18:06.420 that it's not the judges it's not the lawyers it's not the teachers and it sure isn't the doctors

00:18:12.740 who save the country who save the world who save uh culture or society when it's in turmoil it's the

00:18:18.580 common person and that's who these truckers are and their ranking of of uh of of how they participate

00:18:25.940 in society they're the ones that put food on our table they're the ones who who down in coots 0.98

00:18:31.060 there's people with seven children nine children twelve children and they would bring them on the

00:18:36.420 the last final days and these are regular people yeah right yeah being pushed to the brink and i i

00:18:42.260 like what uh tucker carlson fox news said about truckers and it was simply this uh if you're alive

00:18:49.460 you owe your life to a trucker they're the ones bringing groceries to the supermarket and they're the

00:18:53.620 ones bringing uh uh pharmaceuticals to the drug stores um the idea that these people are vilified

00:19:01.220 uh is absolutely uh perverse uh tell me too uh kian it this uh documentary has been playing at select

00:19:10.420 cinemas uh sol sold right out standing room only um when you talk to people members of the audience that

00:19:21.220 see your report what kind of feedback are you getting it's always uh and and i think it'll be

00:19:27.140 different tonight as you know we play in toronto in edmonton i'm sorry in uh alberta as a whole i

00:19:32.500 think it's it's so special to be able to bring it to them and because they got the the smear campaign

00:19:38.820 from the mainstream media as well so all they have about what happened at coots was what i was able to

00:19:43.220 get up on twitter because of our little um service that we had right so when they were able to come and

00:19:48.100 they would see this documentary and they would see the actual whole nine days of what went on when

00:19:52.900 the border was being blocked and unblocked and and the the the commotion that happened with the rcmp

00:19:58.500 the negotiations and what these truckers like really went through they didn't just go there and protest

00:20:02.980 stand around and drink beers at night and and hang around they they went through some cold cold days

00:20:09.540 where it was minus 45 with 110 kilometer wind chill oh unbelievable yeah so so that's they would come

00:20:16.580 up to me in our q a and and and sometimes the questions wouldn't be questions it would just be

00:20:20.420 a thank you you know ken how do you respond to those critics of the trucker convoys they typically phrase

00:20:27.860 their criticism along the lines of we we believe in the right to protest we believe in demonstrations

00:20:34.020 etc but you don't have the right to uh occupy a street to uh close off a uh a bridge uh to another

00:20:42.980 nation so on and so forth um why can't you just you know spend an hour or two driving around saying

00:20:49.860 what you have to do and then go home how do you respond to these people well first of all i wouldn't

00:20:54.340 listen to anybody who didn't go and second of all they have to look at the last two years which they

00:21:00.660 have also and their families have also been impacted by and maybe they they view this they view it

00:21:05.380 differently about how they feel about um the the virus and and how it affects them on a health basis

00:21:11.780 but like i said before these are the people who put the food on our plates they need to put food on

00:21:17.220 their plates too yeah so if you're gonna push them into a corner you're you're gonna get pushed back

00:21:23.380 from the people who have families and and that's what it is it wasn't just truckers there was also

00:21:29.460 my aunt yeah i think policies were making many of these people desperate losing their livelihoods

00:21:38.580 their jobs their homes uh and when you lose all of that um what more can you do but make a profound

00:21:47.140 statement yourself and given all the misery that led up to these various convoys um you know what's

00:21:54.500 incredible key and i find is that they weren't violent it was like love i mean for goodness sakes

00:22:00.740 i don't know many revolutions in world history where there was a hot tub and a bouncy castle

00:22:08.580 on on the on the streets of the the capital um last word goes to you my friend when it comes up to

00:22:16.020 summing up the trucker rebellion documentary well it's a it's a great project um it was it was an honor to

00:22:23.460 be able to be there and be the only journalist myself and sydney fazard on the scene yeah before

00:22:28.100 he was there for 16 days i was there for nine and this project that we're now sharing around the

00:22:33.620 world i think is extremely important and and that's what we're uh we're gonna do around the country is

00:22:38.980 we're gonna bring it we're gonna try to bring it to a hometown maybe your hometown if uh if anybody has

00:22:44.340 a theater let us know and we'll bring it i i think everybody needs to see this on the big screen

00:22:50.500 with the loudspeakers so you can hear the honking you need to see it how it was made

00:22:54.660 what it was made for it was the big screen indeed well thanks so much for coming in all the way from

00:23:00.020 calgary uh kian and there you have it folks trucker rebellion the story of the coots blockade uh check

00:23:07.140 your local listings if it's coming to a town or city near you more of the ezreal event show coming up

00:23:13.060 right after this

00:23:26.020 well folks plenty of feedback regarding ezreal events monologue on censorship and let's kick it off

00:23:33.220 with a letter from construction cronies who writes diabetes obesity fentanyl inflation interest rates

00:23:41.700 house pricing and they are going to after free speech way to go trudolf well you know what can i tell

00:23:50.100 you my friend uh this is a man as i've said many times before some eight years ago in toronto before he

00:23:57.380 was prime minister said he admired the basic dictatorship in china in terms of getting things done i always

00:24:06.100 wondered what he meant by getting things done and i think now we know it's shutting down freedom of

00:24:12.420 speech he would be just really at home in beijing these days wouldn't he in darkness rights in canada

00:24:22.100 hate speech laws are secular versions of blasphemy laws plain and simple so who are the sacred cows 0.99

00:24:30.340 and little gods well it's very clear it is anyone with a contrarian opinion to the trudeau singh regime

00:24:38.660 those are on the wrong side of history and good thought well at least according to justin trudeau

00:24:46.500 and jagmeet singh

00:24:48.900 goger writes china is starting to admire canada's basic dictatorship

00:24:54.500 gee that rings a bell why am i having a sense of deja vu right now well there we have it folks

00:25:02.500 that's the ezreal event show for tonight ezreal will be back tomorrow in the meantime as always stay sane

00:25:11.140 this is carrie diott in downtown edmonton where we're getting reaction to the formula one driver who

00:25:17.940 said that what happens in alberta is a crime because you chop down a lot of trees and you

00:25:24.420 basically destroy uh the place um just to extract oil these things shouldn't be allowed anymore and

00:25:30.740 they shouldn't happen bear in mind this is a formula one driver you might be asking the wrong people yes

00:25:35.540 i did hear about this actually and what do you think i think that he just isn't informed and he

00:25:41.460 doesn't know about the oil sands we've spent countless years working up there and i think it's a

00:25:47.620 lot more than what people realize and if they went up to the oil sands and they saw the reclamation

00:25:52.500 projects and stuff like that they would have a different outlook but going off of what's just in

00:25:56.820 the media they draw the wrong conclusions what do you think oh the same thing i like said we've been

00:26:03.700 in the i've been in the oil industry for the last 20 years and i'm actually currently working up

00:26:08.340 in the oil sands and his opinion is absolute hypocrisy because he's standing there with aramco

00:26:15.220 on his jersey which is saudi arabian oil company so he's telling us to shut down the most ethical

00:26:24.180 most environmentally regulated oil system in the world oil production system in the world but he's

00:26:30.660 okay with blood oil where women can barely drive they still behead people and your hand get cuts off if 1.00

00:26:37.700 you steal something it's ridiculous and the manner of doing it with the tar sands mining oil sands mining

00:26:44.900 is horrible for for nature what information they're cherry picking is yes the oil companies up there they're

00:26:52.260 still they're still doing open pit mining which looks terrible yes but they are those companies are bound

00:27:01.540 by the government to reclaim everything so yes that pit gets dug but it also gets filled back in and

00:27:08.900 they have to reclaim it to the original topography when they started mining it sir a very quick question

00:27:15.940 for you did you hear about the formula one driver who said that uh it's basically a crime that we're

00:27:22.100 developing the oil sands in alberta what do you think of that i never heard about it but i think 0.92

00:27:26.340 it's a terrible thing to say why so well just because beneath the oil sands i think it's a hypocrite

00:27:35.940 i think it does not know what he's talking about i think we all need it because uh hey technology hey

00:27:43.620 alberta is number one and they they work hey at the same time see we actually live on this planes i

00:27:50.500 uh uh the car drivers but you know carbon capture technology is also you know we are probably i think

00:27:59.780 number one too so we are even man there's no when you're there man you know you say things that you

00:28:08.740 don't know man you should come here see it then you will understand how many a jobs on the line

00:28:15.460 and and and and and the safety you gotta have the safety tickets as well protected it's clean it's

00:28:25.060 cleaner that you know the ones we know uh you see alberta university some of the best students come 0.89

00:28:33.140 here i mean i love oil man i think he's kind of a hypocrite right he's driving a race car he's

00:28:41.300 more gas than any other car in the world well that's nonsense unless he's driving an electric 0.90

00:28:46.740 formula one car and that i gotta see i think it's very hypocritical i mean he's made a fortune driving

00:28:54.100 a vehicle that's powered by uh fossil fuels so you know talk about the kettle calling the pot black

00:29:01.860 well i mean if you don't live in this country and you don't know how we do things and i'm not sure if

00:29:07.220 you should have opinion at all i think he's wrong like he's contradicting himself well i appreciate

00:29:14.820 all in gas when he gets to minus 40 and he's a race car driver isn't that ironic i would think so

00:29:20.500 eh and i don't know everyone's a critic and everyone wants to point fingers and such but i'm pretty

00:29:25.380 thankful for a warm apartment i'm pretty thankful for the industry eh so everyone can be a critic all they

00:29:31.380 want right but there's there's no substance to it right so i don't pay attention to that well uh

00:29:37.140 i'm a big fan of the uh the montreal grand prix montreal is my hometown and it's the biggest

00:29:41.460 sporting event in canada and i thought you know why go and tarnish it with this i mean it's based on

00:29:47.860 misinformation it's it's misleading uh it it's unfair to you know resource producing provinces like

00:29:55.940 alberta and saskatchewan it's just like you know stay he's a driver stay in your lane stay in your lane

00:30:02.740 i think there's a lot of ignorance to that comment yeah stay in his lane how about that i don't pay

00:30:09.380 attention to uh celebrities on political issues so that don't really mean anything we still need alberta

00:30:16.580 oil don't we that's all i know for sure we still rely on it we still need it our province functions

00:30:22.020 on it but so does the whole country so yeah i i don't know i don't weigh in on other people's uh opinions

00:30:28.020 but i know what we need is albertans and i know that we need uh we need to still be on oil and

00:30:33.220 it's not feasible to not be yet that's what i know for sure well i can see where he's coming from but

00:30:39.780 for us to get our oil sands industry going that's something we need for the province to stimulate our

00:30:45.380 economy first of all i stopped watching formula one it was the most exciting sport when damon hill

00:30:53.300 and schumacher used to race and it became the most boring sport and he just rolled around

00:31:00.100 in a procession so did i hear about it no yeah i guess well considering that this guy makes his

00:31:06.580 living from oil and gas do you see the irony in that well the world is now divided into 0.99

00:31:12.900 most people who i think are stupid that's just my humble opinion so 0.96

00:31:17.780 so i had near most most of what people say so so we ran into a lot of opinionated people 0.99

00:31:24.500 about the formula one driver who is critical of alberta's oil sands reporting from downtown edmonton i'm
