Rebel News Podcast - Government prosecutors go after Sheila Gunn Reid for writing a BOOK — Help us fight back

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Very special show today.

00:00:02.820 It's about one of our friends, Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter, our Alberta bureau chief.

00:00:08.580 She's been prosecuted by the elections commissioner of Alberta.

00:00:11.960 Now, you might be saying, hang on a second, Jason Kenney is the premier of Alberta.

00:00:14.840 What's going on there?

00:00:15.560 Well, this is a holdover appointed by Rachel Notley to get her enemies.

00:00:20.220 And on the top of that enemies list is Sheila Gunn-Reed. 0.92

00:00:22.540 Well, we have to fight back.

00:00:24.120 I want you to listen to the whole thing.

00:00:26.080 And I want you to listen to the recordings of the prosecutors threatening us,

00:00:58.200 I think it's probably the most important video we've done in a year.

00:01:01.260 Thanks.

00:01:02.920 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.

00:01:06.180 Tonight, government prosecutors make their move against Sheila Gunn-Reed for her book, Stop Notley.

00:01:11.720 I need your help to protect her.

00:01:13.940 It's July 24th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:16.260 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:22.100 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:26.160 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:32.020 For three months, we have been privately fighting against an illegal and unconstitutional attempt by the Alberta government

00:01:44.420 to prosecute Sheila Gunn-Reed, our star reporter and Alberta bureau chief,

00:01:48.740 for writing her best-selling book, Stop Notley.

00:01:51.380 That book is the most popular book on Alberta politics in 2019,

00:01:56.420 reaching the number two spot on the Amazon.ca national best-seller list.

00:02:01.300 It was great journalism, and it's Sheila's third best-selling book.

00:02:05.620 She wrote another one about the NDP three years ago called The Destroyers,

00:02:09.740 and one just last year about David Suzuki.

00:02:12.300 They're great books, and the Rebel is proud to publish them.

00:02:14.900 But Rachel Notley hated them because Sheila is the toughest journalist in the Alberta press corps, 1.00

00:02:21.080 one of the few who would ever challenge Notley.

00:02:23.880 Sheila broke more news scoops than any other Alberta reporter these past four years,

00:02:27.800 including the incredible scoop that Rachel Notley cancelled every single water bomber contract

00:02:33.140 just days before the wildfire tore through Fort McMurray.

00:02:36.780 Notley actually banned Sheila from the legislature as punishment for her reporting, 0.99

00:02:41.280 literally sending an armed sheriff to block her from coming into the legislature,

00:02:45.960 and then Notley had Alberta's Justice Department write to us,

00:02:49.620 banning us or anyone connected to us from going on government property anywhere.

00:02:53.680 That's illegal, of course, but Notley didn't care.

00:02:56.520 It was only when her weird Venezuela-style censorship was mocked in the national press 0.81

00:03:01.380 that Notley backed down, but she never forgave Sheila.

00:03:05.180 So last year, Notley created a special new hunter-killer office

00:03:09.880 called the election commissioner, not the chief electoral officer,

00:03:13.640 not the guy in charge of running the elections.

00:03:15.960 Alberta's always had one of those, obviously.

00:03:18.180 Notley created a new officer in charge of political crimes

00:03:21.740 and called him the elections commissioner,

00:03:24.440 and she hired a disgraced anti-conservative activist named Lorne Gibson

00:03:30.340 who actually sued the conservatives in his personal capacity

00:03:34.060 and was laughed out of court,

00:03:34.900 but Notley gave him the last laugh appointing that unbalanced kook 1.00

00:03:39.940 to be the elections commissioner to investigate her enemies,

00:03:43.500 and he loved doing it because they were his enemies too.

00:03:46.120 Now, Gibson has taken a run at us several times before,

00:03:49.180 but we've always fought him off, and he's always backed down.

00:03:52.580 In fact, Elections Alberta actually published a series of apologies to us

00:03:57.500 every day for a week on Twitter.

00:04:00.040 Actually, I couldn't believe it.

00:04:01.160 For falsely smearing us earlier this year.

00:04:03.800 They're so dirty over there.

00:04:06.500 But now they're coming to kill us.

00:04:09.380 They're threatening to prosecute Sheila Gunn-Reed for her book.

00:04:12.720 They say that.

00:04:13.960 It's her book.

00:04:14.660 They're not hiding that.

00:04:16.100 They're literally prosecuting her for her book, Stop Notley.

00:04:20.000 They're demanding.

00:04:21.140 Here's what's incredible.

00:04:22.120 Here's what's so scary.

00:04:23.300 They're demanding that she hand over all her notes

00:04:25.860 and emails and editorial plans about the book.

00:04:30.920 She's an author.

00:04:31.620 They're threatening her with, quote, severe consequences.

00:04:35.060 If she doesn't...

00:04:36.140 Here, to explain the story better,

00:04:38.340 let me let Sheila tell you about it directly.

00:04:41.000 Now, Sheila recorded this 20-minute video,

00:04:43.340 and I'm going to play the whole thing.

00:04:44.920 You really must see it all.

00:04:47.220 Listen to all of her evidence,

00:04:48.640 including the voice recordings and emails from Notley Steph.

00:04:52.840 Okay, listen to this.

00:04:53.600 I'll see you in 20 minutes.

00:04:54.920 Yeah, I mean, we have that, too,

00:04:56.640 where people don't cooperate,

00:04:58.440 and then they get, you know, they get obstruction.

00:05:01.400 You know, the offense for obstruction can be pretty severe.

00:05:09.520 I have some terrible news to share with you today.

00:05:12.440 We have been trying to work quietly

00:05:14.540 to get ourselves out of the trouble that we're facing,

00:05:17.060 but it's become clear in recent days.

00:05:19.740 We can't do this quietly anymore,

00:05:21.360 and we cannot do this alone.

00:05:23.020 I need your help now.

00:05:25.940 NDP-appointed holdovers in the Alberta government

00:05:28.340 are coming for me because I wrote a best-selling book

00:05:30.980 that hurt Rachel Notley's feelings.

00:05:33.400 I'm potentially facing tens of thousands of dollars in fines,

00:05:36.920 and what the government officer involved calls severe consequences,

00:05:41.540 but the biggest threat is to freedom of the press for all of us.

00:05:45.480 Let me explain this mess.

00:05:46.980 We have to go back a few months to the very beginning.

00:05:49.240 This video is long, but I have to tell you the whole story,

00:05:52.660 and I have to show you the proof of what's happening,

00:05:54.700 or you just would not believe it.

00:05:57.520 Back in April, we received a letter from Alberta's elections commissioner.

00:06:01.560 That entire bureaucracy is a recent creation of the NDP,

00:06:05.380 and it was weaponized against Notley's conservative critics.

00:06:07.940 They have come after us about billboards critical of the NDP

00:06:12.080 on two separate occasions in the past, and they lost.

00:06:16.860 This new threat letter in April came from the elections commissioner,

00:06:21.680 Lauren Gibson, and it was addressed to me,

00:06:23.940 but it was sent to our Toronto office.

00:06:26.660 So the Alberta election was over.

00:06:28.340 Jason Kenney was the new premier.

00:06:30.220 But Notley's hand-picked enforcer was still on the job,

00:06:33.440 and he still is today.

00:06:36.420 He said he was opening an investigation

00:06:38.600 after complaints about lawn signs promoting my best-selling book.

00:06:43.120 Here's part of his letter.

00:06:44.360 We will be seeking your answers to a number of questions,

00:06:48.280 including the following.

00:06:50.260 What was the basis upon which you determined

00:06:52.240 the selling price of the Stop Notley book?

00:06:55.480 What was the date you began to make this book available to the public?

00:07:00.380 Was the availability of the Stop Notley book to the public

00:07:03.880 time to occur with the 2019 provincial election campaign,

00:07:07.540 or was the book planned to be made available to the public

00:07:10.640 regardless of whether there was an election or not?

00:07:13.600 What is the estimated cost of the Stop Notley advertising book promotion campaign?

00:07:19.500 What is the contact information for the company

00:07:21.520 that published the Stop Notley book,

00:07:23.440 and the company that designed, produced, and distributed

00:07:26.620 the Stop Notley signs?

00:07:29.760 Gibson said he would be contacting me for an interview,

00:07:33.000 or to put it another way,

00:07:34.900 I'd be interrogated by the government

00:07:36.720 about a book I wrote about the government.

00:07:40.500 Now his letter didn't even tell me

00:07:42.180 who's under investigation,

00:07:44.380 or for what?

00:07:45.080 Is it me, or the publisher of my book?

00:07:47.140 Who's in trouble here?

00:07:48.640 Is it for the book,

00:07:50.160 or the law and signs promoting the book?

00:07:52.300 And really, it doesn't matter anyway,

00:07:54.340 or it shouldn't,

00:07:55.820 because we have a free press in Canada,

00:07:58.480 and here is the elections law

00:08:00.320 that specifically exempts books.

00:08:02.140 Section 44 D2 reads,

00:08:04.340 elections advertising does not include

00:08:07.580 the distribution of a book

00:08:09.400 or the promotion of the sale of a book

00:08:11.780 for no less than its commercial value

00:08:13.920 if the book was planned to be made available to the public,

00:08:18.020 regardless of whether there was to be an election.

00:08:21.580 Apparently, even Alberta's draconian elections censorship law

00:08:25.240 recognizes the importance of a free press.

00:08:27.940 And of course,

00:08:28.560 we lawyered my book up and down before we published it.

00:08:31.160 In fact, legal fees are one of the largest expenses

00:08:34.140 here at The Rebel.

00:08:35.540 So I first emailed Stephen Kay,

00:08:38.060 the investigator noted in the letter.

00:08:41.360 And I said this,

00:08:42.800 Dear Mr. Kay,

00:08:44.200 I am a journalist and author.

00:08:47.140 In my view,

00:08:48.200 your investigation of me

00:08:49.740 is legally inappropriate

00:08:51.360 and contrary to Canada's constitutional freedoms,

00:08:54.520 especially freedom of expression.

00:08:56.480 Your decision to keep these complaints against me a secret

00:08:59.240 is inappropriate if they really do exist.

00:09:02.260 By keeping them secret,

00:09:03.420 you stop me from knowing the details of the case against me

00:09:06.880 and from making a proper response.

00:09:10.140 You still haven't been clear

00:09:12.220 about why I'm being investigated.

00:09:14.720 Perhaps the complaints would also shed light on that.

00:09:17.620 Your email says the complaints are about

00:09:19.540 the signs which marketed my book,

00:09:22.080 but most of the questions in your letter

00:09:23.520 ask about the Stop Not Leave book itself.

00:09:26.420 Are you investigating me for the book

00:09:28.140 or the signs which brought it

00:09:30.060 to the attention of the public?

00:09:32.000 Am I personally being investigated

00:09:33.420 for not registering as a third party?

00:09:35.460 You still haven't actually told me

00:09:37.240 what I've allegedly done.

00:09:40.180 And that's when another investigator

00:09:42.340 tasked with the file,

00:09:44.060 a former city cop named Ken Brander,

00:09:47.160 emailed me saying

00:09:48.380 he would answer my questions in a phone call.

00:09:51.740 So I called Brander and recorded the call

00:09:53.980 because not only am I a journalist,

00:09:56.280 but I need to protect myself

00:09:57.700 in case I am actually the target

00:09:59.980 of this investigation

00:10:00.860 because they wouldn't tell me.

00:10:03.460 Here, I'd like to play some excerpts

00:10:05.000 from that conversation for you.

00:10:07.620 Right away, this investigator said

00:10:09.240 he wasn't interested in my book,

00:10:11.200 Just the Lawn Signs,

00:10:12.340 which I had nothing to do with.

00:10:13.880 That was my publisher's idea,

00:10:15.440 which I loved,

00:10:16.700 but I'm just the book's author.

00:10:19.280 I'll be able to tell you

00:10:19.980 what the gist of the complaints are.

00:10:21.440 But it just has to do with advertising.

00:10:26.420 People see the Lawn Signs

00:10:28.880 and they go,

00:10:29.540 oh, that Lawn Sign looks just like

00:10:31.160 the political Lawn Signs,

00:10:33.660 so this person must be doing

00:10:35.340 political advertising.

00:10:36.540 So the complaints are all about

00:10:39.060 the Lawn Signs

00:10:40.380 and if they're political advertising

00:10:42.600 or if they're not.

00:10:43.400 So, if the book was fine,

00:10:46.320 then why was he calling me the author?

00:10:48.500 And he repeated that again.

00:10:50.520 He claimed he wasn't investigating me.

00:10:53.700 Am I personally being investigated

00:10:55.460 for not registering as a third party?

00:10:57.180 No.

00:10:57.520 Okay.

00:10:58.060 No.

00:10:58.600 Okay.

00:10:58.880 No, it's just,

00:10:59.660 it's just,

00:11:00.560 it's just the Lawn Signs themselves.

00:11:03.400 But then after telling me

00:11:04.640 he wasn't investigating my book,

00:11:06.500 he started investigating my book.

00:11:09.280 Why did I write it when I wrote it?

00:11:11.400 Pretty dumb question.

00:11:12.300 It's a political book.

00:11:13.220 In an election year.

00:11:14.960 But why was he grilling me,

00:11:16.240 an author and journalist?

00:11:18.760 There's something about the timing

00:11:19.980 of the book.

00:11:22.380 So, you know,

00:11:23.460 I'd be looking for

00:11:24.100 just a little bit of background

00:11:25.260 information on like when,

00:11:27.960 when was the book written?

00:11:29.540 When was it,

00:11:30.120 when was it going to be published?

00:11:32.560 Or was it like a last minute thing?

00:11:34.140 Like, you know,

00:11:35.380 that type of thing.

00:11:36.980 At the end of the call,

00:11:38.060 he said he was 90% sure

00:11:39.660 the book was fine,

00:11:40.560 but he still had a lot of questions for me.

00:11:43.220 I guess to be clear,

00:11:44.320 what is it

00:11:45.480 that I have

00:11:46.680 alleged to have done

00:11:48.440 that would break the law?

00:11:50.800 Well,

00:11:51.340 it's alleged that the sign

00:11:52.900 associated to the book,

00:11:56.280 or it's alleged that

00:11:57.180 that Lawn Signs

00:11:57.780 is election advertising.

00:11:58.700 So, for me,

00:12:01.080 the elements that I have to show

00:12:03.060 are that either,

00:12:04.480 yes, it is election advertising,

00:12:05.980 or no,

00:12:06.420 it's not election advertising.

00:12:08.080 If it's not election advertising,

00:12:10.260 then it's case closed.

00:12:11.560 If it is election advertising,

00:12:13.420 then the investigation

00:12:14.120 has to continue

00:12:15.040 to see, you know,

00:12:16.680 who's putting it out,

00:12:17.740 are they registered

00:12:18.520 as a third-party advertiser,

00:12:19.860 or are they not?

00:12:20.940 But the first hurdle is,

00:12:22.120 the first element

00:12:22.760 to determine is whether

00:12:23.900 it's election advertising or not.

00:12:25.380 At this point,

00:12:26.920 I'm 90% sure

00:12:28.240 that it's not

00:12:29.100 election advertising.

00:12:31.000 I ended that call

00:12:31.860 by telling him

00:12:32.560 the name of the media

00:12:33.940 freedom lawyer I have,

00:12:35.760 Fred Kozak,

00:12:36.540 who helped me

00:12:37.240 fight back

00:12:38.120 when Rachel Notley

00:12:38.960 illegally banned me

00:12:40.280 from the legislature

00:12:41.540 a few years ago.

00:12:43.480 Could you share

00:12:44.240 your counsel's name

00:12:45.120 just so I know?

00:12:45.880 Oh, yes,

00:12:46.480 it's Fred Kozak.

00:12:48.640 Fred Kozak?

00:12:49.380 Yes,

00:12:49.980 from Reynolds,

00:12:50.640 Merth,

00:12:50.880 Richards,

00:12:51.240 and Farmer.

00:12:52.240 I was still unclear,

00:12:53.340 though.

00:12:53.860 Is Brander investigating

00:12:55.120 me as an author

00:12:56.700 or my publisher,

00:12:58.180 especially since

00:12:58.980 Brander has never

00:12:59.940 contacted my publisher

00:13:01.340 for any of the details

00:13:02.540 he was asking me about?

00:13:04.260 And why does he keep

00:13:05.180 asking me about the book

00:13:06.380 if he's not

00:13:07.280 investigating the book?

00:13:08.780 So I called him

00:13:09.880 a second time.

00:13:11.420 The reason I'm phoning you

00:13:12.800 is I understand

00:13:14.500 that you're the author

00:13:15.560 of the book,

00:13:16.220 so the questions

00:13:17.120 that I have answers to

00:13:18.100 those final elements

00:13:20.760 that I have to address

00:13:21.860 and the exemption,

00:13:23.020 I believe you probably

00:13:23.940 have the answers

00:13:24.620 to those questions.

00:13:25.780 So at this point,

00:13:28.280 there's no particular

00:13:31.360 person under investigation,

00:13:33.240 like no suspect,

00:13:34.280 to use a police term.

00:13:36.340 Is it normal

00:13:37.340 in a free country

00:13:38.380 for the government

00:13:39.160 to hire investigators

00:13:40.420 to interrogate authors

00:13:41.960 of books that

00:13:42.840 criticize the government?

00:13:44.700 It is not.

00:13:45.760 So I asked Brander

00:13:46.800 what would happen

00:13:47.560 if I refuse to answer.

00:13:49.060 I'm going to play

00:13:49.840 a two-minute clip

00:13:50.960 of his answer.

00:13:51.900 It's absolutely terrifying.

00:13:53.820 Listen to what he says

00:13:54.720 he'll do to me

00:13:55.660 if I don't answer

00:13:56.860 all of his questions

00:13:57.660 about why I wrote

00:13:58.620 my Rachel Notley book.

00:14:01.180 You've asked me

00:14:01.820 to come by

00:14:02.240 and answer your questions.

00:14:04.100 Now, if I don't do that,

00:14:06.000 can you order me

00:14:07.120 to answer with a summons

00:14:08.460 or something like that,

00:14:09.260 like a subpoena?

00:14:13.120 You want a subpoena?

00:14:14.320 No, I'm just asking you,

00:14:16.580 like if I don't come by

00:14:20.680 and answer your questions

00:14:22.220 about my book,

00:14:23.460 what happens then?

00:14:26.600 Will you issue me a summons?

00:14:31.420 Well, is there a reason

00:14:34.280 that you don't want to

00:14:35.280 clear this up?

00:14:36.680 I'm, that's not,

00:14:42.820 that wasn't really my,

00:14:45.140 it's not that I don't want

00:14:47.460 to clear this up at all.

00:14:48.400 I'm just, I'm just curious.

00:14:50.280 What happens if I don't come by?

00:14:52.020 Well, yeah, I mean,

00:14:55.760 there's all kinds of,

00:14:57.160 you know, authorities

00:14:58.020 for the election commissioner

00:14:59.400 to, you know,

00:15:01.720 you know, to,

00:15:05.680 not compel,

00:15:06.660 but there are,

00:15:07.180 there are, you know,

00:15:08.280 there are, yeah,

00:15:09.280 the word is consequences

00:15:10.260 for people that,

00:15:11.880 you know,

00:15:12.160 that don't provide

00:15:13.900 the information

00:15:14.620 and that type of thing.

00:15:16.580 So, I mean,

00:15:17.660 if you carry it through

00:15:18.540 to a logical conclusion,

00:15:20.240 yeah, I mean,

00:15:20.800 there's production orders,

00:15:22.060 there's all kinds of things

00:15:22.840 that, there's all kinds

00:15:23.660 of tools that can be done,

00:15:24.840 but they're all

00:15:25.260 fairly extreme.

00:15:26.460 And, you know,

00:15:27.860 when we do those,

00:15:28.880 you know,

00:15:29.160 we can do those types

00:15:30.180 of things,

00:15:30.760 but it's,

00:15:32.860 you know,

00:15:33.180 in this case,

00:15:34.280 I really think that

00:15:35.060 we can just kind of

00:15:35.920 clear this up

00:15:36.660 pretty quickly.

00:15:41.620 Just with,

00:15:42.500 you know,

00:15:42.900 just with the conversation

00:15:43.980 and if you can,

00:15:44.840 if you,

00:15:45.260 there's documents,

00:15:46.120 you can show me about,

00:15:47.700 you know,

00:15:48.020 this is when,

00:15:49.060 if there's a book deal,

00:15:49.940 this is when it was signed,

00:15:51.140 this is when it was planned to be,

00:15:53.180 you know,

00:15:54.780 this is kind of

00:15:55.820 when we think

00:15:56.220 it might hit the market,

00:15:58.060 be available for the public,

00:16:00.840 just, you know,

00:16:01.660 when those first plans

00:16:02.680 started to be made,

00:16:03.860 that type of thing,

00:16:04.460 just a little bit

00:16:05.000 of background about that.

00:16:06.740 So hang on,

00:16:08.060 again and again,

00:16:08.700 he's told me

00:16:09.460 he's not investigating

00:16:10.540 the book,

00:16:11.160 but he's demanding

00:16:11.880 that I,

00:16:12.620 as the author,

00:16:13.220 agree to be interrogated,

00:16:14.800 and he wants

00:16:15.520 editorial information

00:16:16.820 about the book's plans,

00:16:18.400 any briefing notes,

00:16:19.540 and even editorial emails.

00:16:22.080 Just listen.

00:16:22.920 The area that I can't

00:16:24.680 tick off yet

00:16:25.360 is just the part

00:16:27.240 about the planning

00:16:28.120 of when it was

00:16:28.740 to be made available,

00:16:29.540 and I'm going to see that

00:16:30.480 through things like,

00:16:32.460 you know,

00:16:33.320 either a contract

00:16:34.320 or some type of briefing note

00:16:35.840 or,

00:16:36.820 you know,

00:16:37.160 a schedule

00:16:37.780 or,

00:16:38.680 you know,

00:16:39.540 emails or something like that

00:16:41.460 saying,

00:16:42.680 yeah,

00:16:42.960 this is,

00:16:43.420 you know,

00:16:43.760 this is when I'm starting

00:16:45.080 before even a statement from you,

00:16:46.540 this is when I,

00:16:47.180 this is when I started

00:16:48.120 writing the book,

00:16:49.340 you know,

00:16:49.780 this is when,

00:16:51.260 you know,

00:16:51.640 it was planned to be,

00:16:53.700 you know,

00:16:54.040 the season or whatever

00:16:54.980 when we were thinking

00:16:55.680 of releasing the book,

00:16:56.640 whatever.

00:16:57.720 And just in case

00:16:58.580 he wasn't clear,

00:17:00.040 he tells me

00:17:00.720 that if I don't hand over

00:17:02.200 my editorial notes,

00:17:04.160 the consequences

00:17:04.980 will be severe.

00:17:07.080 Yeah,

00:17:07.340 I mean,

00:17:07.540 we have that,

00:17:08.560 too,

00:17:08.820 that where people

00:17:09.260 don't cooperate

00:17:10.380 and then they get,

00:17:11.820 you know,

00:17:12.180 they get obstruction,

00:17:13.600 you know,

00:17:13.940 the offense for obstruction

00:17:15.360 can be pretty severe.

00:17:17.400 He says it one more time.

00:17:30.500 I'm an author

00:17:31.240 and he needs

00:17:32.460 my email records.

00:17:34.880 A statement would be good,

00:17:36.000 like a written statement,

00:17:36.820 but if you have any

00:17:37.660 types of email records

00:17:39.340 or

00:17:39.820 anything like that,

00:17:43.340 that would be,

00:17:44.780 I think that would probably

00:17:45.780 get me where I need to be.

00:17:47.860 The government of Alberta

00:17:49.140 has hired an ex-cop,

00:17:50.800 two actually,

00:17:51.700 to investigate a journalist

00:17:52.900 for writing a book

00:17:53.800 in Canada

00:17:54.600 in 2019,

00:17:56.120 not 1984.

00:17:57.920 We've been quietly

00:17:58.580 fighting against this

00:17:59.680 for three months

00:18:00.640 at great expense

00:18:01.600 and we thought

00:18:03.000 we had scared them off,

00:18:04.380 but then last week

00:18:05.260 I got a call

00:18:06.300 from Brander,

00:18:07.000 the investigator.

00:18:07.800 I'll play it for you,

00:18:08.940 it's a threat.

00:18:10.280 Either I give him

00:18:11.040 all of my editorial records

00:18:12.480 now

00:18:12.940 or he prosecutes me.

00:18:14.840 Here.

00:18:15.780 I'm just calling you

00:18:16.680 about this outstanding matter

00:18:17.860 that we have

00:18:18.340 under investigation.

00:18:20.500 I'm just kind of,

00:18:22.520 you know,

00:18:22.880 still kind of waiting

00:18:23.600 confirmation from you

00:18:24.820 that you're going to

00:18:25.520 participate in this investigation.

00:18:27.400 There are some documents

00:18:28.380 that we require.

00:18:30.400 It is a lawful request

00:18:31.660 for those documents.

00:18:32.860 We expect that you'll comply.

00:18:34.280 Like I said,

00:18:36.920 I think we're pretty close

00:18:38.000 to being able

00:18:38.440 to conclude the matter,

00:18:39.620 but those documents

00:18:40.900 that we're waiting for,

00:18:42.720 I can't conclude the matter

00:18:43.780 until we review those documents.

00:18:48.100 So, you know,

00:18:50.320 I'll send you a follow-up email,

00:18:51.940 but we're kind of getting

00:18:52.720 to the point now

00:18:53.360 where we've asked many,

00:18:55.340 many times.

00:18:56.320 We've sent emails requesting.

00:18:57.600 We've had conversations about it.

00:18:58.720 I'm satisfied

00:18:59.220 that you know

00:18:59.760 what it is

00:19:00.200 that I'm asking for.

00:19:02.760 So I'm hoping

00:19:03.880 that you'll participate

00:19:07.320 and we can,

00:19:08.280 I think if you participate

00:19:09.320 and provide the documents

00:19:10.680 requesting,

00:19:11.280 I think we can wrap this up.

00:19:13.340 I can't conclude it

00:19:14.800 until you participate.

00:19:17.680 You can call me

00:19:18.120 when you get a chance,

00:19:18.880 please, Sheila,

00:19:19.680 and get back to me

00:19:20.520 and let me know

00:19:20.840 what your intentions are.

00:19:21.780 Thanks very much.

00:19:22.700 Bye.

00:19:23.240 And in case that wasn't

00:19:24.580 threatening enough,

00:19:25.460 he immediately sent a letter

00:19:26.900 demanding the same thing.

00:19:28.680 He knows I have a lawyer

00:19:30.060 and he knows my lawyer's name,

00:19:32.460 but he's contacting me directly.

00:19:35.120 Here's the latest email.

00:19:36.880 We have shared a number

00:19:38.340 of phone calls together

00:19:39.580 and we have discussed

00:19:40.920 this investigation.

00:19:41.840 I have been expecting

00:19:43.560 to hear from you

00:19:44.500 and for you to provide

00:19:46.120 the documentation I requested.

00:19:48.380 I would like to conclude

00:19:49.460 this matter.

00:19:50.200 However, I cannot

00:19:51.120 without your participation

00:19:52.660 and the documents I require.

00:19:55.860 And now here's the threat.

00:19:58.540 There is a provision,

00:20:00.240 section 45,

00:20:01.580 in the Elections,

00:20:02.700 Finance,

00:20:03.340 and Contribution Disclosure Act,

00:20:05.100 which creates an offense

00:20:06.660 for withholding documents.

00:20:08.300 Please have a look

00:20:09.060 at that provision, Sheila.

00:20:10.180 It is a serious offense.

00:20:12.540 Our office has been asking

00:20:13.940 for these documents

00:20:14.960 and records

00:20:15.640 for several months now.

00:20:17.520 You have not provided them

00:20:18.760 and have not provided

00:20:20.260 a reason why.

00:20:21.460 This is becoming a concern.

00:20:23.900 I'm a journalist

00:20:24.800 who criticized the government

00:20:25.960 and now the government

00:20:26.860 is demanding

00:20:27.700 my private notes

00:20:29.280 saying I'll be prosecuted

00:20:31.040 for a serious offense

00:20:32.280 if I don't hand them over.

00:20:33.900 And it gets worse.

00:20:35.420 In the kangaroo court

00:20:36.740 of the election commissioner,

00:20:38.160 I don't have a right

00:20:39.260 not to testify against myself

00:20:41.080 like any other Canadian

00:20:42.420 in legal jeopardy.

00:20:43.880 I don't even have

00:20:44.540 the same rights

00:20:45.140 as a murderer

00:20:45.700 to remain silent

00:20:46.860 in this investigation.

00:20:48.500 I can be compelled

00:20:49.280 to offer evidence

00:20:50.240 against myself

00:20:51.100 and forced

00:20:52.120 to hand over my notes.

00:20:53.780 I want you to know

00:20:54.540 that I've spoken

00:20:55.100 to my family

00:20:55.800 a lot about the possibility

00:20:57.420 of being prosecuted.

00:20:58.880 And of course,

00:20:59.400 I've spoken to Ezra

00:21:00.340 and like with everything

00:21:01.540 that troubles me,

00:21:02.640 I've prayed on this.

00:21:03.940 And we all agree

00:21:04.700 that if that's what

00:21:06.280 it comes down to,

00:21:07.720 prosecutions

00:21:08.400 and serious fines

00:21:09.240 or bending a knee

00:21:10.120 to the state

00:21:10.640 on the issue

00:21:11.200 of free speech,

00:21:12.360 then I won't be complying

00:21:13.820 with any demand

00:21:14.800 from the state

00:21:15.340 to produce documents

00:21:16.540 about why

00:21:17.240 and when

00:21:18.120 I wrote a book

00:21:19.000 that is critical

00:21:19.600 of the government

00:21:20.160 of the day.

00:21:21.140 I'll do what I have to do,

00:21:22.380 but I won't back down

00:21:23.600 and I'm not giving in.

00:21:24.760 They are not getting

00:21:25.520 a single thing

00:21:26.560 out of me.

00:21:27.600 This is a free country

00:21:28.640 with a constitution

00:21:29.520 that protects me.

00:21:31.180 And unfortunately

00:21:31.920 for the elections commish,

00:21:33.780 Albertans have a long tradition

00:21:35.500 of civil disobedience

00:21:36.840 against bad laws

00:21:37.920 from those who refused

00:21:39.420 to register

00:21:40.100 their grandpa's guns

00:21:41.220 when the liberals

00:21:41.880 told them to

00:21:42.680 to Western farmers

00:21:44.020 who were jailed

00:21:44.800 by the liberals

00:21:45.460 for selling their own wheat.

00:21:47.340 I also want to assure you

00:21:48.780 that I have the full support

00:21:50.560 of the entire rebel team

00:21:51.840 behind me.

00:21:52.840 I want to be completely

00:21:54.060 transparent now with you.

00:21:55.740 We have already spent

00:21:56.800 $32,000 in legal fees

00:21:58.760 fighting this up till now

00:21:59.960 and we just received

00:22:00.780 another bill for $16,000.

00:22:02.800 So all told,

00:22:03.540 we're $48,000 deep

00:22:05.220 in legal fees

00:22:05.860 to fight for my free speech

00:22:07.260 and my right to give you

00:22:09.080 information about the government

00:22:10.580 that the government

00:22:11.520 doesn't want you to have.

00:22:12.920 That's a huge legal bill

00:22:14.040 but we have the best

00:22:15.240 free speech lawyer

00:22:16.100 in Alberta

00:22:16.660 and we will win

00:22:17.940 if we can see this

00:22:18.960 through till the end.

00:22:20.320 The trouble is

00:22:21.260 unlike the elections commissioner

00:22:22.740 we don't have

00:22:23.660 bottomless pockets

00:22:24.660 constantly refilled

00:22:25.880 by the taxpayer

00:22:26.680 to go around

00:22:27.820 bullying people.

00:22:28.800 We're crowdfunded

00:22:29.420 by people like you.

00:22:30.720 We fight on

00:22:31.340 I fight on

00:22:32.320 because people like you

00:22:33.400 want me to.

00:22:34.480 I'm going public

00:22:35.540 with this today

00:22:36.560 after a three month fight

00:22:38.420 because they're coming

00:22:39.540 for me now.

00:22:40.280 I need your help now

00:22:41.340 more than ever.

00:22:42.200 I need your support.

00:22:43.540 I need your help

00:22:44.380 to offset our

00:22:45.400 ballooning legal bills.

00:22:47.120 Can you help me?

00:22:47.800 You can do that

00:22:49.080 at SaveSheila.com

00:22:50.920 and please share this video

00:22:52.280 so the whole world knows

00:22:53.980 what Rachel Notley Swamp

00:22:55.340 is still trying to do

00:22:56.580 to freedom of the press

00:22:57.800 in Alberta.

00:22:58.800 But I'm also calling

00:22:59.960 on my friends

00:23:00.660 my colleagues

00:23:01.620 my frenemies

00:23:03.020 and even my enemies

00:23:04.420 in the rest of the media.

00:23:06.400 Now's your time

00:23:07.080 to stand up

00:23:07.920 and be counted.

00:23:09.300 Do you stand

00:23:10.000 for free speech?

00:23:11.120 Do you stand

00:23:11.960 for a free press?

00:23:13.480 Or do you stand aside

00:23:14.760 and say nothing

00:23:15.560 because you don't like

00:23:16.600 me or my boss

00:23:17.920 more than you like

00:23:18.820 being able to say

00:23:19.760 what you want to say

00:23:21.020 when you want to say it

00:23:22.220 without Big Brother

00:23:23.260 weighing in?

00:23:24.680 Is the Edmonton Journal

00:23:25.600 the same one

00:23:26.440 that won a Pulitzer Prize

00:23:27.620 for their fight

00:23:28.360 for the free press

00:23:29.340 against the

00:23:29.820 Aberhart government?

00:23:30.980 Or are they just

00:23:32.060 government pets

00:23:33.140 here in 2019?

00:23:34.900 I promise everyone today

00:23:36.160 we are going to resist

00:23:37.300 every single attempt

00:23:38.720 to bully, interrogate

00:23:39.980 and intimidate me

00:23:40.980 every step of the way.

00:23:42.600 And when we are done

00:23:43.460 with these people

00:23:44.100 and when we do win

00:23:45.320 it's my hope

00:23:46.220 that Rachel Notley's

00:23:47.140 terrible law

00:23:47.760 will be struck down

00:23:48.820 and the Office

00:23:49.820 of the Elections Commissioner

00:23:50.980 as we know it

00:23:52.100 will be no more.

00:23:54.100 If you can help me

00:23:55.060 with this very important fight

00:23:56.820 please go to

00:23:58.540 SaveSheila.com

00:24:00.680 I want to add

00:24:01.500 one more detail

00:24:02.260 about the man

00:24:03.760 who's coming to get Sheila.

00:24:05.700 There are two ex-cops

00:24:07.340 being sent after us

00:24:09.280 by Notley's

00:24:09.900 hunter killer

00:24:10.420 Owen Gibson.

00:24:12.220 One of those ex-cops

00:24:13.280 is named Ken Brander.

00:24:14.500 He's the disgraced

00:24:15.420 Edmonton police officer

00:24:17.480 if you're from Alberta

00:24:18.820 maybe you know

00:24:19.540 that one terrible day

00:24:21.520 about 15 years ago

00:24:22.520 he was driving

00:24:23.620 his unmarked police car

00:24:25.080 and he raced it

00:24:26.660 through an intersection

00:24:28.700 in a car chase

00:24:30.180 but without his siren

00:24:32.300 or his lights on.

00:24:33.620 Just no warning

00:24:34.400 to any innocent people.

00:24:36.540 He was tearing down

00:24:37.820 a city street

00:24:38.520 at least 120 kilometers

00:24:40.240 an hour.

00:24:41.000 Some experts said

00:24:41.780 it would have been

00:24:42.240 much higher than that.

00:24:43.160 And here's what

00:24:45.020 the judge said

00:24:45.660 he said

00:24:46.060 it was there

00:24:48.440 that an unmarked

00:24:49.740 police car

00:24:50.240 being driven eastbound

00:24:51.140 at a high rate of speed

00:24:52.040 by Kenneth Brander

00:24:52.880 crashed broadside

00:24:55.020 into Carlos Ramirez's

00:24:56.220 Tempo

00:24:56.580 as it turned left

00:24:57.780 across the police car's path.

00:24:59.400 As a result of the crash

00:25:00.380 Carlos Ramirez's

00:25:01.360 grandson

00:25:01.900 Giovanni

00:25:02.880 was killed.

00:25:04.940 His grandson

00:25:05.480 Jonathan

00:25:05.980 was seriously injured

00:25:07.320 and he and his daughter

00:25:09.000 Gloria

00:25:09.440 were injured.

00:25:10.380 So this dirty cop

00:25:12.860 that the court said

00:25:13.700 was negligent

00:25:14.620 he was found

00:25:15.220 negligent.

00:25:17.000 He killed one child

00:25:17.920 he maimed another child

00:25:19.000 so badly

00:25:19.640 his hands were burned off

00:25:21.220 and he injured the family

00:25:22.760 the city paid out

00:25:23.880 millions of dollars

00:25:24.960 to the family

00:25:25.820 to clean up

00:25:26.340 Brander's mess

00:25:26.940 and instead of going away

00:25:28.660 to live a life

00:25:30.320 of reflection

00:25:31.220 and penitence

00:25:32.520 and maybe even

00:25:33.520 to try to seek

00:25:34.320 redemption

00:25:34.800 that child killer

00:25:37.620 went to work

00:25:38.960 for the government

00:25:40.120 he was hired

00:25:41.020 by Lauren Gibson

00:25:42.640 to investigate

00:25:45.020 Rachel Notley's

00:25:45.960 personal enemies

00:25:47.240 Brander

00:25:49.640 that child killer

00:25:51.100 is the great

00:25:51.740 moral authority

00:25:52.560 coming to silence

00:25:54.060 Sheila

00:25:54.420 I wonder if he even

00:25:55.340 has a soul

00:25:56.080 if he ever did

00:25:57.600 or if his sense

00:25:59.140 of good and evil

00:25:59.740 was finally

00:26:00.460 and fully extinguished

00:26:02.040 when he killed

00:26:02.920 that boy

00:26:03.420 and forever damaged

00:26:04.860 a family

00:26:05.340 Rachel Notley

00:26:06.340 is low

00:26:06.880 for coming after us

00:26:07.760 her appointee

00:26:08.740 Lauren Gibson

00:26:09.340 is a bizarre

00:26:10.300 unbalanced partisan

00:26:11.660 but the actual

00:26:13.540 ex-cop

00:26:14.360 this dirty

00:26:15.240 ex-cop

00:26:16.220 they have sent

00:26:16.980 after our Sheila

00:26:18.120 is literally

00:26:19.460 a man who

00:26:20.520 because of his

00:26:21.200 negligence

00:26:21.900 killed a child

00:26:24.340 because he couldn't

00:26:25.320 be bothered

00:26:25.960 to put on his lights

00:26:27.320 and his sirens

00:26:28.360 as he raced

00:26:29.280 down the city streets

00:26:30.460 I am so furious

00:26:32.220 but let me calm down

00:26:33.400 let me calm down

00:26:34.820 and let us now talk

00:26:36.440 to our Sheila

00:26:37.880 and how we are going

00:26:40.460 to save her

00:26:41.920 from these butchers

00:26:43.840 and joining me now

00:26:59.680 is a person

00:27:00.740 who the NDP

00:27:02.120 wants to make

00:27:03.000 the victim

00:27:03.800 of the story

00:27:05.380 but she shall not

00:27:06.500 be made a victim

00:27:07.260 she

00:27:07.760 shall be our hero

00:27:09.480 and champion

00:27:10.180 not just for her own

00:27:11.440 interests

00:27:11.860 but for ours

00:27:13.220 and by ours

00:27:14.240 I don't just mean

00:27:14.920 the rebel

00:27:15.260 I mean ours

00:27:15.900 and yours

00:27:16.420 and any Canadian

00:27:17.680 who believes

00:27:18.380 in freedom of the press

00:27:19.860 and the right

00:27:20.780 for an author

00:27:21.320 to criticize

00:27:21.880 the government

00:27:22.480 without punishment

00:27:23.260 our dear friend

00:27:25.060 Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:27:26.220 Sheila great to see you

00:27:27.340 hey thanks for having

00:27:29.180 me on the show

00:27:29.720 I want to let you know

00:27:31.740 publicly

00:27:32.320 as I've let you know

00:27:33.160 privately so many times

00:27:34.260 over the last few months

00:27:35.120 we stand with you

00:27:36.760 completely

00:27:37.960 and we will do

00:27:39.420 everything

00:27:40.020 and anything

00:27:41.040 in our power

00:27:42.180 and our resources

00:27:43.140 to defend your rights

00:27:44.880 and we will protect

00:27:45.680 you all the way

00:27:46.460 well I think

00:27:48.400 that's been evidently

00:27:49.760 clear

00:27:50.260 with the amount

00:27:51.000 of support

00:27:51.460 the company

00:27:51.920 has given me

00:27:52.680 up till now

00:27:53.480 I think we're

00:27:55.580 approaching nearly

00:27:56.500 $50,000

00:27:57.360 in legal fees

00:27:58.500 already dealing

00:27:59.620 with the elections

00:28:00.800 commissioner

00:28:01.400 that's all

00:28:02.640 being paid

00:28:03.620 by the rebel

00:28:05.000 I couldn't

00:28:05.660 there's no way

00:28:06.500 that I could

00:28:07.220 ask my family

00:28:08.560 to pay those sorts

00:28:09.540 of legal fees

00:28:10.720 to fight for free speech

00:28:12.020 and I've been indemnified

00:28:13.780 by the rebel

00:28:14.460 to go out there

00:28:15.760 and fight for the

00:28:16.720 free press

00:28:17.340 here in Alberta

00:28:18.100 well we're grateful

00:28:19.660 to you

00:28:20.120 and I know

00:28:21.140 this is not the first

00:28:22.180 time to use

00:28:23.320 an Alberta phrase

00:28:24.040 this isn't your first rodeo

00:28:25.320 you have been targeted

00:28:27.140 by Rachel Notley's

00:28:28.620 NDP several times

00:28:29.660 she kicked you 1.00

00:28:30.280 out of the legislature

00:28:31.660 she

00:28:32.320 banned you

00:28:34.260 from all government

00:28:35.060 events

00:28:35.700 you know

00:28:37.180 other governments

00:28:37.940 have tried the same thing

00:28:38.820 and we fought back

00:28:39.660 every time

00:28:40.180 we do keep winning

00:28:41.640 but they put us

00:28:43.320 through this

00:28:43.680 $50,000

00:28:44.360 $200,000

00:28:45.220 process

00:28:45.720 last year

00:28:46.620 we spent

00:28:47.420 $350,000

00:28:48.740 on lawyers

00:28:49.480 that's basically

00:28:50.440 $1,000 a day

00:28:51.620 on lawyers

00:28:52.620 and 90% of it

00:28:54.280 is defensive

00:28:55.320 protection

00:28:56.160 against censors

00:28:57.220 yeah I think

00:28:58.960 a lot of people

00:28:59.560 don't really realize

00:29:01.100 how often

00:29:02.620 we turn to our lawyers

00:29:04.540 to make sure

00:29:05.580 that we aren't

00:29:06.520 crossing

00:29:07.300 any sort of

00:29:08.280 legal lines

00:29:09.100 when we

00:29:09.720 go after

00:29:11.560 the people

00:29:12.200 in power

00:29:13.640 that we're

00:29:14.220 critical of

00:29:14.980 because these people

00:29:16.120 would love

00:29:16.780 to see the rebel

00:29:17.960 shut down

00:29:18.560 they'd love

00:29:19.420 to see us

00:29:20.040 slapped with

00:29:20.900 libel

00:29:21.840 lawsuits

00:29:22.740 they'd love

00:29:23.920 to use

00:29:24.420 lawfare

00:29:25.080 against us

00:29:25.860 to bankrupt us

00:29:27.020 so we are

00:29:27.560 very careful

00:29:28.440 I guess

00:29:29.860 we use

00:29:30.880 lawyers like

00:29:31.740 a prophylactic

00:29:32.520 to make sure

00:29:33.160 that we don't

00:29:33.600 get ourselves

00:29:34.260 in trouble

00:29:34.980 when we're

00:29:36.380 doing our

00:29:37.040 stories

00:29:37.700 and it's

00:29:38.460 so important

00:29:39.120 because

00:29:40.240 any mistake

00:29:41.480 that we do

00:29:42.300 make

00:29:42.640 any line

00:29:43.100 that we do

00:29:43.500 cross

00:29:43.860 is just

00:29:44.220 another reason

00:29:44.860 for our

00:29:45.200 critics

00:29:45.420 to try

00:29:45.820 to shut 0.69

00:29:46.140 us down

00:29:46.540 yeah I mean

00:29:47.520 this whole

00:29:48.040 conversation

00:29:48.560 is absurd

00:29:49.300 you wrote

00:29:49.760 a book

00:29:50.200 about the

00:29:51.260 premier

00:29:51.580 of Alberta

00:29:52.140 criticizing

00:29:53.140 the premier

00:29:53.760 of Alberta

00:29:54.240 it couldn't

00:29:55.400 have been

00:29:55.620 more transparent

00:29:56.440 everyone knows

00:29:57.640 where you're

00:29:58.000 coming from

00:29:58.440 you are

00:29:58.920 an accountability

00:29:59.940 style journalist

00:30:00.940 who has been

00:30:01.700 covering Rachel

00:30:02.360 Notley

00:30:02.700 her whole

00:30:03.840 time as

00:30:04.720 premier

00:30:05.120 you've had

00:30:06.240 best selling

00:30:07.300 books before

00:30:07.960 none of this

00:30:09.000 is remarkable

00:30:10.280 in any way

00:30:11.280 none of it

00:30:11.920 is unusual

00:30:12.940 journalists

00:30:14.700 publish books

00:30:15.560 authors publish

00:30:16.460 books

00:30:16.840 they are often

00:30:17.880 opinionated

00:30:18.620 there is nothing

00:30:19.980 strange or

00:30:21.440 unusual or

00:30:22.440 remarkable here

00:30:23.360 other than

00:30:23.900 your success

00:30:25.920 is great

00:30:27.120 for them

00:30:27.900 to prosecute

00:30:28.820 you

00:30:29.060 investigate

00:30:29.700 you

00:30:30.300 threaten

00:30:30.900 you

00:30:31.320 and try

00:30:32.380 to cut

00:30:32.840 you off

00:30:33.240 from us

00:30:33.820 try to

00:30:34.520 cut you

00:30:34.920 off from

00:30:35.280 your lawyer

00:30:35.680 talk to

00:30:36.080 you directly

00:30:36.580 instead of

00:30:37.060 your lawyer

00:30:37.400 talk to

00:30:38.080 you instead

00:30:38.540 I've never

00:30:39.160 received a

00:30:39.700 letter from

00:30:40.040 these people

00:30:40.500 even though

00:30:41.220 I am

00:30:41.720 the publisher

00:30:42.480 the rebel

00:30:43.260 and I

00:30:44.140 are your

00:30:44.760 publishers

00:30:45.220 were the

00:30:45.660 ones who

00:30:46.120 did the

00:30:47.120 business side

00:30:47.820 of things

00:30:48.200 they're picking

00:30:49.300 on you

00:30:50.160 and they're

00:30:51.260 not coming

00:30:51.760 for us

00:30:52.300 and I

00:30:52.760 find that

00:30:53.460 noteworthy

00:30:54.320 and frankly

00:30:54.940 despicable

00:30:55.600 yeah I think

00:30:57.400 it's pretty

00:30:58.560 tricky

00:30:59.140 you can see

00:31:00.340 in the

00:31:01.060 voice

00:31:02.400 in the phone

00:31:04.500 calls that I

00:31:04.940 recorded with

00:31:05.600 the investigator

00:31:06.280 Ken Brander

00:31:07.000 we're cordial

00:31:07.720 enough

00:31:08.180 for sure

00:31:08.900 I'm not a

00:31:10.100 miserable person

00:31:11.000 but I am

00:31:12.760 completely aware

00:31:13.860 that it is

00:31:14.680 his job

00:31:15.380 to trip me

00:31:16.500 up and catch

00:31:17.260 me doing

00:31:17.700 something wrong

00:31:18.600 and I've

00:31:19.460 done nothing

00:31:20.160 wrong

00:31:20.920 but the

00:31:22.860 fact that

00:31:23.360 he persists

00:31:24.060 in communicating

00:31:24.840 with me

00:31:25.440 when I've

00:31:26.180 told him

00:31:26.480 from the

00:31:26.800 very beginning

00:31:27.360 who my

00:31:28.260 lawyer is

00:31:29.000 and that

00:31:30.340 he should

00:31:30.780 be communicating

00:31:31.500 with my

00:31:32.100 lawyer or

00:31:32.580 that I

00:31:32.940 would be

00:31:33.220 getting in

00:31:33.640 touch with

00:31:34.000 my lawyer

00:31:34.540 and yet

00:31:35.600 he still

00:31:36.140 insists on

00:31:36.780 talking to

00:31:37.480 me and

00:31:38.400 you know

00:31:38.980 talking to

00:31:39.440 me very

00:31:39.880 casually

00:31:40.800 and another

00:31:42.160 thing he's

00:31:42.560 refusing to

00:31:43.020 do is

00:31:43.280 refusing to

00:31:43.800 send answers

00:31:45.200 to my

00:31:45.480 questions in

00:31:45.980 writing

00:31:46.260 he prefers to

00:31:47.180 speak to

00:31:47.880 me in

00:31:48.860 phone calls

00:31:49.380 I find that

00:31:50.140 entirely

00:31:50.740 unprofessional

00:31:51.640 and pretty

00:31:52.620 darn tricky

00:31:53.900 I think it's

00:31:55.400 his goal

00:31:55.860 I mean he's

00:31:56.420 a former

00:31:56.740 police officer

00:31:57.480 it's his

00:31:58.160 goal to

00:31:58.840 try to

00:31:59.120 trip me

00:31:59.480 up and

00:32:00.100 you know

00:32:00.600 get me

00:32:01.020 to say

00:32:01.620 or admit

00:32:02.180 to doing

00:32:02.680 something

00:32:03.280 wrong

00:32:03.960 when I've

00:32:04.360 done nothing

00:32:04.900 wrong

00:32:05.280 yeah

00:32:05.640 you know

00:32:06.360 I had not

00:32:07.240 heard of

00:32:07.720 Ken Brander

00:32:08.380 before

00:32:08.680 why would

00:32:09.200 I

00:32:09.440 he's a

00:32:10.320 former cop

00:32:10.820 from Edmonton

00:32:11.380 I think he

00:32:11.920 left the

00:32:12.320 force

00:32:12.680 about 15

00:32:14.600 years ago

00:32:15.280 so I

00:32:16.480 mean I

00:32:16.760 lived in

00:32:17.160 Edmonton

00:32:17.480 for a few

00:32:17.920 years but

00:32:18.340 I never

00:32:19.540 heard of him

00:32:19.900 why would

00:32:20.220 I

00:32:20.400 but I

00:32:22.040 see now

00:32:22.720 just from

00:32:23.200 googling his

00:32:23.800 name

00:32:24.240 that he

00:32:25.840 didn't leave

00:32:26.560 the force

00:32:27.200 as a hero

00:32:27.940 he didn't

00:32:28.980 retire after

00:32:29.960 like 40

00:32:30.840 years of

00:32:31.380 service

00:32:31.780 he left

00:32:33.200 in disgrace

00:32:34.200 and shame

00:32:36.220 and I

00:32:37.640 don't want to

00:32:37.980 get into

00:32:38.260 details because

00:32:38.860 it's not an

00:32:39.240 important part

00:32:39.840 of the story

00:32:40.220 but it is

00:32:40.660 part of the

00:32:41.200 story here

00:32:41.740 he was

00:32:43.220 racing his

00:32:45.140 police car

00:32:45.760 his unmarked

00:32:46.420 car on the

00:32:47.660 street he was

00:32:48.360 chasing someone

00:32:49.300 he did not

00:32:50.460 put his

00:32:50.900 siren on

00:32:51.540 he did not

00:32:52.500 put his

00:32:53.100 flashing lights

00:32:53.820 on and he

00:32:54.860 was racing

00:32:55.720 120-130

00:32:56.880 kilometers an

00:32:57.580 hour on a

00:32:58.520 city street

00:32:59.180 and he

00:33:00.220 hit a car

00:33:02.260 of a family

00:33:03.440 he immediately

00:33:05.780 killed one

00:33:06.760 he killed

00:33:08.440 one child

00:33:09.100 the gas tank

00:33:10.540 exploded it

00:33:11.220 burned the

00:33:11.780 hands off

00:33:12.400 another child

00:33:13.140 it injured

00:33:14.220 others in

00:33:14.860 the car

00:33:15.280 he killed

00:33:17.140 a child

00:33:18.180 and maimed

00:33:18.960 for life

00:33:19.480 another child

00:33:20.380 and a

00:33:21.940 court found

00:33:22.640 him quote

00:33:23.340 negligent

00:33:25.140 they didn't

00:33:26.380 say he

00:33:26.740 committed a

00:33:27.260 crime

00:33:27.680 but they

00:33:28.340 said he

00:33:28.720 was negligent

00:33:29.760 and he

00:33:30.340 was unreasonable

00:33:31.420 he killed

00:33:33.240 a child

00:33:34.200 he ruined

00:33:35.400 lives

00:33:36.280 and instead

00:33:37.560 of resigning

00:33:38.580 in disgrace

00:33:39.240 and going

00:33:39.840 away to

00:33:40.740 find some

00:33:41.580 sort of

00:33:41.980 redemption

00:33:42.380 in life

00:33:42.980 he has

00:33:44.460 found himself

00:33:45.540 investigating

00:33:47.220 journalists

00:33:48.140 and threatening

00:33:49.240 journalists

00:33:49.960 and threatening

00:33:50.560 to prosecute

00:33:51.340 journalists

00:33:51.740 I'm sorry

00:33:52.720 I refuse to

00:33:53.620 take any

00:33:54.120 moral lessons

00:33:55.220 from a

00:33:56.160 child killer

00:33:57.020 Sheila

00:33:57.700 and I know

00:33:58.400 the people

00:33:58.880 might say

00:33:59.260 what's that

00:33:59.640 got to do

00:34:00.080 with it

00:34:00.440 well that's

00:34:01.580 the kind

00:34:02.020 of people

00:34:02.480 telling you

00:34:03.220 you don't

00:34:03.800 have your

00:34:04.220 constitutional

00:34:04.880 freedom of

00:34:05.880 speech

00:34:06.180 I think

00:34:07.100 this Ken

00:34:07.600 Brander

00:34:08.060 should spend

00:34:08.760 a lifetime

00:34:09.320 in repentance

00:34:10.300 for killing

00:34:11.220 a child

00:34:11.780 well and

00:34:14.060 just doing

00:34:15.100 some cursory

00:34:15.760 research on

00:34:16.460 what happened

00:34:17.060 there it

00:34:17.480 sounds like

00:34:17.900 the city

00:34:18.560 of Edmonton

00:34:19.500 paid out

00:34:20.140 roughly

00:34:20.940 five million

00:34:21.940 dollars to

00:34:22.700 the family

00:34:23.300 that was

00:34:24.420 devastated by

00:34:25.260 Brander's

00:34:25.780 actions that

00:34:26.680 day and

00:34:28.620 really in

00:34:29.320 I don't know

00:34:30.420 what Brander's

00:34:31.300 done since

00:34:31.900 then to try

00:34:32.720 to make it

00:34:33.180 right but

00:34:34.040 he has gone

00:34:34.680 on to have

00:34:35.140 a pretty

00:34:35.460 successful

00:34:35.980 career in

00:34:36.700 private

00:34:37.120 investigations

00:34:38.040 including the

00:34:38.780 current contract

00:34:39.460 he has with

00:34:40.700 the Alberta

00:34:41.540 government to

00:34:42.240 investigate

00:34:42.880 journalists for

00:34:43.740 doing journalism

00:34:44.480 and moreover

00:34:46.720 to the point

00:34:47.280 of just the

00:34:47.820 sheer cost

00:34:48.400 to the

00:34:48.700 taxpayer

00:34:49.200 caused by

00:34:49.820 Ken Brander

00:34:50.500 I know

00:34:51.180 we are

00:34:51.900 close to

00:34:52.440 fifty thousand

00:34:53.120 dollars in

00:34:54.620 legal fees

00:34:55.340 plus all the

00:34:56.160 time and

00:34:57.200 man hours that

00:34:57.840 you and I

00:34:58.320 have been

00:34:58.560 putting into

00:34:59.000 all of this

00:34:59.640 to fight

00:35:00.640 back

00:35:01.000 what is his

00:35:01.900 investigation

00:35:02.480 of me

00:35:03.160 the journalist

00:35:03.780 costing the

00:35:04.600 taxpayer

00:35:04.980 what is his

00:35:05.880 contract right

00:35:06.720 now look like

00:35:07.900 that Rachel

00:35:08.560 Notley gave

00:35:09.600 him to come

00:35:10.140 after me

00:35:10.800 yeah yeah

00:35:11.740 I'd be very

00:35:12.140 curious about

00:35:12.660 that and

00:35:12.960 that's what's

00:35:13.400 so weird

00:35:13.840 here and I

00:35:14.500 know some

00:35:14.860 of our viewers

00:35:15.320 must be

00:35:15.720 saying hang

00:35:16.440 on isn't

00:35:17.420 Jason Kenney

00:35:18.220 the premier

00:35:18.740 of Alberta

00:35:19.180 now hang

00:35:20.020 on how

00:35:20.780 come Rachel

00:35:21.880 Notley's

00:35:22.420 handpicked

00:35:22.940 election

00:35:23.340 commissioner

00:35:23.820 is still

00:35:24.800 persecuting

00:35:26.000 the rebel

00:35:26.400 well the

00:35:26.680 answer is

00:35:27.300 that handpicked

00:35:28.800 Rachel Notley

00:35:29.400 appointee named

00:35:30.100 Lorne Gibson

00:35:30.560 he's still the

00:35:31.800 election commissioner

00:35:32.500 Jason Kenney

00:35:33.220 has not

00:35:33.760 turfed him

00:35:34.820 he's still

00:35:35.580 following Rachel

00:35:37.760 Notley's

00:35:38.300 battle plan

00:35:39.040 and really

00:35:40.280 public enemy

00:35:40.860 number one

00:35:41.320 to the NDP

00:35:41.840 in the media

00:35:43.260 was always

00:35:43.880 you Sheila

00:35:44.440 they've come

00:35:44.880 for you

00:35:45.140 time and

00:35:45.440 again

00:35:45.680 it's

00:35:46.520 disgraceful

00:35:47.540 that he's

00:35:47.980 doing it

00:35:48.400 but it

00:35:48.800 blows me

00:35:49.360 away

00:35:49.680 that Jason

00:35:50.620 Kenney

00:35:50.980 is his

00:35:51.440 boss

00:35:51.880 and Jason

00:35:52.900 Kenney

00:35:53.240 is allowing

00:35:53.780 this to

00:35:54.220 happen

00:35:54.620 and forget

00:35:56.580 about partisan

00:35:57.160 politics

00:35:57.600 this is

00:35:58.060 unconstitutional

00:35:59.000 and it's

00:35:59.760 un-Albertan

00:36:00.380 it is

00:36:02.240 but I think

00:36:03.380 because of

00:36:04.200 the current

00:36:04.760 investigations

00:36:05.660 by the

00:36:06.480 elections

00:36:06.960 commissioner

00:36:07.920 into the

00:36:09.780 leadership

00:36:10.580 contest

00:36:11.980 with the

00:36:12.600 united

00:36:12.900 conservative

00:36:13.400 party

00:36:14.020 and the

00:36:14.900 fact that

00:36:15.400 this

00:36:15.740 investigator

00:36:16.420 the one

00:36:17.080 that's

00:36:17.440 coming after

00:36:18.000 me

00:36:18.280 just a

00:36:19.660 week ago

00:36:20.340 issued

00:36:21.040 $91,000

00:36:22.400 in fines

00:36:23.200 to

00:36:23.980 participants

00:36:25.700 in the

00:36:26.240 UCP

00:36:26.840 leadership

00:36:27.380 race

00:36:28.240 for what

00:36:29.180 they're

00:36:29.400 calling

00:36:29.760 a

00:36:30.120 kamikaze

00:36:31.040 campaign

00:36:31.600 Jason

00:36:33.280 Kenney

00:36:33.620 can't

00:36:34.340 nuke

00:36:34.880 the

00:36:35.280 office

00:36:35.840 of the

00:36:36.680 elections

00:36:37.180 commissioner

00:36:37.740 as an

00:36:38.380 unconstitutional

00:36:39.520 catastrophe

00:36:40.260 that falls

00:36:41.580 on us

00:36:42.080 he's

00:36:42.620 politically

00:36:43.060 unable

00:36:43.620 to deal

00:36:44.120 with this

00:36:44.560 because of

00:36:45.160 problems

00:36:45.600 within the

00:36:46.080 UCP

00:36:46.620 so it

00:36:47.220 absolutely

00:36:47.700 falls on

00:36:48.440 us to

00:36:48.780 fight this

00:36:49.280 fight

00:36:49.580 alone

00:36:49.920 it's

00:36:50.980 terrifying

00:36:51.520 to see

00:36:52.240 you mentioned

00:36:52.680 those

00:36:52.900 $91,000

00:36:53.920 in fines

00:36:54.920 he handed

00:36:55.980 out

00:36:56.420 I've

00:36:58.420 told you

00:36:58.700 this

00:36:58.860 privately

00:36:59.300 our lawyers

00:37:00.320 know this

00:37:00.920 and again

00:37:01.340 I'll just

00:37:01.640 say it

00:37:01.920 on the

00:37:02.160 record

00:37:02.420 we will

00:37:03.400 not

00:37:03.780 allow

00:37:04.560 him

00:37:05.720 to touch

00:37:06.460 one hair

00:37:07.060 on your

00:37:07.500 head

00:37:07.880 and God

00:37:08.700 forbid

00:37:09.160 if he

00:37:10.340 does fine

00:37:11.180 you

00:37:11.360 $10,000

00:37:12.140 or even

00:37:13.040 God forbid

00:37:13.600 $91,000

00:37:14.620 obviously

00:37:15.960 we will

00:37:16.620 hold you

00:37:17.680 harmless

00:37:18.060 and we

00:37:18.620 will

00:37:18.880 cover that

00:37:19.700 now we

00:37:20.280 don't have

00:37:20.660 a mountain

00:37:21.020 of dollars

00:37:22.360 sitting around

00:37:22.880 here we

00:37:23.160 will crowd

00:37:23.660 fund it

00:37:23.980 because

00:37:24.240 Sheila

00:37:24.540 I believe

00:37:25.320 that

00:37:26.120 hundreds

00:37:26.980 of

00:37:27.260 thousands

00:37:27.600 of

00:37:27.820 Albertans

00:37:28.280 and indeed

00:37:28.860 people

00:37:29.600 across

00:37:30.000 Canada

00:37:30.360 and even

00:37:30.660 around

00:37:30.920 the

00:37:31.100 world

00:37:31.360 value

00:37:32.420 your

00:37:32.920 journalism

00:37:33.520 substantively

00:37:34.680 but even

00:37:35.500 if they

00:37:35.780 disagree

00:37:36.140 with you

00:37:36.700 they know

00:37:37.700 that if

00:37:38.200 a journalist

00:37:39.500 like you

00:37:40.080 can be

00:37:40.460 prosecuted

00:37:41.140 for writing

00:37:41.560 a book

00:37:41.800 about a

00:37:42.100 politician

00:37:42.480 none of

00:37:43.340 us have

00:37:43.760 our

00:37:43.980 freedoms

00:37:44.340 and so

00:37:44.720 I hope

00:37:45.260 that other

00:37:46.380 reporters

00:37:46.940 who don't

00:37:47.760 much like

00:37:48.380 the cut

00:37:48.980 of your

00:37:49.260 jib

00:37:49.600 because

00:37:50.120 you're

00:37:50.280 conservative

00:37:50.740 and they're

00:37:51.120 left-wing

00:37:51.500 activists

00:37:51.980 this is

00:37:53.420 beyond that

00:37:54.000 now

00:37:54.240 this isn't

00:37:54.720 even about

00:37:55.400 what you

00:37:56.700 wrote

00:37:57.040 it's about

00:37:58.580 does a

00:37:59.220 government

00:37:59.580 have the

00:38:00.380 power

00:38:00.780 to harass

00:38:02.520 a journalist

00:38:03.060 and say

00:38:03.780 you give us

00:38:04.380 your editorial

00:38:04.980 notes

00:38:05.540 your memos

00:38:06.440 your emails

00:38:07.360 give it to us

00:38:08.300 now

00:38:08.600 and if you

00:38:10.100 don't we will

00:38:10.580 have quote

00:38:11.040 severe

00:38:11.820 consequences

00:38:12.980 I don't care if

00:38:14.000 you're at the

00:38:14.360 Calgary Herald

00:38:14.880 the Edmonton

00:38:15.420 Journal

00:38:15.700 Global News

00:38:16.500 even the

00:38:17.740 government

00:38:18.020 reporters at

00:38:18.640 the CBC

00:38:19.180 surely

00:38:19.700 they have a

00:38:20.520 tiny little

00:38:21.180 cell in their

00:38:21.880 body called

00:38:22.880 press freedom

00:38:23.540 that says

00:38:23.940 you know

00:38:24.180 what

00:38:24.340 I might

00:38:24.620 not like

00:38:25.020 that

00:38:25.200 Sheila

00:38:25.440 Gunn

00:38:25.700 read

00:38:25.900 but damn

00:38:26.560 it

00:38:26.700 it's

00:38:27.640 outrageous

00:38:28.360 that the

00:38:28.820 government

00:38:29.120 is demanding

00:38:29.880 she hand 0.57

00:38:30.420 over her

00:38:30.820 editorial

00:38:31.220 notes

00:38:31.740 yeah

00:38:33.200 you know

00:38:33.960 it's going

00:38:34.200 to be

00:38:34.400 interesting

00:38:34.760 to see

00:38:35.340 if

00:38:35.700 the

00:38:36.480 Edmonton

00:38:37.040 Journal

00:38:37.340 in 2019

00:38:38.200 is the

00:38:38.760 same

00:38:38.980 Edmonton

00:38:39.500 Journal

00:38:39.740 that

00:38:40.020 fought

00:38:40.360 the

00:38:40.600 Eberhard

00:38:41.180 government

00:38:41.780 and won

00:38:43.080 and won

00:38:43.580 a Pulitzer

00:38:43.980 Prize

00:38:44.480 for their

00:38:44.900 defense

00:38:45.280 of press

00:38:47.520 freedom

00:38:47.980 here in

00:38:48.960 Alberta

00:38:49.340 I'll be

00:38:50.400 quite frankly

00:38:51.500 shocked

00:38:52.240 to see them

00:38:52.960 come out

00:38:53.480 in my

00:38:54.020 defense

00:38:54.460 I think

00:38:54.920 a lot

00:38:55.180 of that

00:38:55.420 has to

00:38:55.760 do

00:38:55.860 with the

00:38:56.120 fact

00:38:56.360 that

00:38:56.600 much

00:38:57.440 of what

00:38:57.800 I do

00:38:58.220 involves

00:38:58.740 eating

00:38:59.100 their

00:38:59.360 lunch

00:38:59.680 every

00:38:59.980 day

00:39:00.320 I

00:39:00.700 don't

00:39:00.980 expect

00:39:01.400 to see

00:39:02.480 a lot

00:39:02.800 of

00:39:02.960 support

00:39:03.440 from

00:39:04.240 the

00:39:04.520 mean

00:39:04.900 girl 0.91

00:39:05.180 media

00:39:05.740 party

00:39:06.260 clique

00:39:06.700 that

00:39:06.980 surrounds

00:39:07.700 Ottawa

00:39:08.440 and exists

00:39:09.000 in the

00:39:09.240 Ottawa

00:39:09.500 bubble

00:39:09.840 but I

00:39:10.480 do

00:39:10.720 think

00:39:11.300 we

00:39:12.220 will

00:39:12.500 see

00:39:12.940 some

00:39:13.400 people

00:39:14.060 in the

00:39:14.380 mainstream

00:39:14.720 media

00:39:15.140 come out

00:39:15.620 in our

00:39:15.900 defense

00:39:16.260 we saw

00:39:16.900 it at

00:39:17.140 the press

00:39:17.460 freedom

00:39:17.860 conference

00:39:18.520 I'm

00:39:18.740 still

00:39:18.960 shocked

00:39:19.280 and mind

00:39:19.720 blown

00:39:20.020 that

00:39:21.140 you know

00:39:21.580 some

00:39:21.880 journalists

00:39:22.340 some

00:39:22.780 of which

00:39:23.180 were based

00:39:23.620 in Canada

00:39:24.120 and some

00:39:24.940 were based

00:39:25.440 in Europe

00:39:25.880 who refused

00:39:26.740 to attend

00:39:27.320 a press

00:39:28.040 conference

00:39:28.420 with

00:39:28.680 Chrystia Freeland

00:39:29.300 if we

00:39:30.080 were excluded

00:39:30.880 so I

00:39:31.580 do

00:39:31.920 think

00:39:32.240 there

00:39:32.400 are

00:39:32.520 still

00:39:32.760 some

00:39:33.040 journalists

00:39:33.380 who

00:39:33.620 take

00:39:33.840 their

00:39:34.060 craft

00:39:34.560 seriously

00:39:35.640 and who

00:39:36.440 realize

00:39:37.440 that

00:39:37.760 they

00:39:38.100 can

00:39:38.240 only

00:39:38.460 do

00:39:38.680 the

00:39:38.880 jobs

00:39:39.180 they

00:39:39.400 do

00:39:39.760 because

00:39:40.340 of

00:39:40.580 press

00:39:40.860 freedom

00:39:41.160 and

00:39:41.540 because

00:39:42.800 of the

00:39:43.080 battles

00:39:43.440 that

00:39:43.800 people

00:39:44.340 like

00:39:44.600 you

00:39:44.780 and I

00:39:45.120 are

00:39:45.300 fighting

00:39:45.580 every

00:39:45.860 day

00:39:46.060 to

00:39:46.200 maintain

00:39:46.500 it

00:39:46.760 you

00:39:47.180 know

00:39:47.280 I

00:39:47.380 appreciate

00:39:47.760 your

00:39:47.960 positive

00:39:48.360 attitude

00:39:48.740 and

00:39:49.060 you

00:39:49.220 are

00:39:49.400 correct

00:39:49.800 to

00:39:50.160 remind

00:39:50.480 me

00:39:50.720 that

00:39:51.200 it

00:39:51.300 was

00:39:51.420 just

00:39:51.620 two

00:39:51.820 weeks

00:39:52.060 ago

00:39:52.320 that

00:39:52.500 we

00:39:52.620 actually

00:39:52.960 saw

00:39:53.360 a

00:39:53.920 startling

00:39:54.280 case

00:39:54.640 of

00:39:54.800 solidarity

00:39:55.240 from

00:39:55.660 if

00:39:56.300 I

00:39:56.440 recall

00:39:56.700 correctly

00:39:57.080 CTV

00:39:57.600 CBC

00:39:58.280 Global

00:39:59.000 Globe and

00:39:59.740 Mail

00:39:59.920 and even

00:40:00.360 Al Jazeera

00:40:00.980 if you

00:40:01.260 can believe

00:40:01.680 it

00:40:01.800 I mean

00:40:02.800 who knew

00:40:03.740 I mean

00:40:04.580 pigs are

00:40:05.320 flying

00:40:05.660 you know

00:40:06.940 hell freezes

00:40:07.480 over

00:40:07.800 whatever

00:40:08.240 your

00:40:08.800 analogy

00:40:09.160 is

00:40:09.480 it

00:40:09.680 actually

00:40:09.940 happens

00:40:10.240 so

00:40:10.480 I

00:40:10.920 should

00:40:11.120 not

00:40:11.300 be

00:40:11.460 so

00:40:11.680 pessimistic

00:40:12.200 I guess

00:40:12.500 I've

00:40:12.720 learned

00:40:12.940 to be

00:40:13.180 pessimistic

00:40:13.580 over

00:40:13.940 time

00:40:14.220 you know

00:40:14.760 there's

00:40:14.960 also

00:40:15.180 a

00:40:15.420 senator

00:40:15.720 from

00:40:16.180 your

00:40:16.380 city

00:40:16.740 named

00:40:17.460 Paula

00:40:17.820 Simons

00:40:18.320 who

00:40:18.480 used

00:40:18.660 to be

00:40:18.920 a

00:40:19.200 columnist

00:40:19.960 for

00:40:20.540 the

00:40:20.680 Edmonton

00:40:20.960 Journal

00:40:21.200 now

00:40:21.420 she

00:40:21.580 sure

00:40:21.760 talked

00:40:22.100 a

00:40:22.240 good

00:40:22.380 game

00:42:05.220 Sheila

00:42:05.460 well

00:42:07.240 I

00:42:07.800 think

00:42:08.100 I

00:42:09.040 predict

00:42:09.480 that

00:42:10.220 the

00:42:10.980 investigators

00:42:12.100 are

00:42:12.420 going

00:42:12.640 to

00:42:12.780 move

00:42:13.080 on

00:42:13.320 us

00:42:13.720 pretty

00:42:14.040 quickly

00:42:14.400 here

00:42:14.740 they

00:42:16.240 were

00:42:16.560 a

00:42:17.420 little

00:42:17.580 bit

00:42:17.800 more

00:42:18.240 not

00:42:19.860 pleasant

00:42:20.220 that's

00:42:20.480 not

00:42:20.580 the

00:42:20.700 right

00:42:20.880 word

00:42:21.160 and

00:42:21.700 they

00:42:21.840 have

00:42:22.040 been

00:42:22.200 running

00:42:22.440 out

00:42:22.600 of

00:42:22.720 patience

00:42:23.140 with

00:42:23.400 me

00:42:23.660 but

00:42:24.240 they

00:42:24.680 have

00:42:24.820 been

00:42:25.000 more

00:42:25.460 tolerant

00:42:26.140 of

00:42:26.520 working

00:42:26.960 with

00:42:27.860 us

00:42:28.200 as

00:42:28.800 long

00:42:28.940 as

00:42:29.060 we

00:42:29.220 were

00:42:29.480 keeping

00:42:29.840 the

00:42:30.120 secret

00:42:30.440 of

00:42:31.040 what

00:42:31.200 they

00:42:31.320 were

00:42:31.440 trying

00:42:31.700 to

00:42:31.840 do

00:42:31.980 to

00:42:32.120 us

00:42:32.320 now

00:42:32.500 that

00:42:32.660 we've

00:42:32.900 gone

00:42:33.120 public

00:42:33.520 I

00:42:33.700 think

00:42:33.920 things

00:42:34.240 are

00:42:34.380 going

00:42:34.540 to

00:42:34.680 start

00:42:34.880 happening

00:42:35.340 pretty

00:42:35.980 fast

00:42:36.420 and

00:42:36.540 I

00:42:36.640 think

00:42:36.780 it's

00:42:37.000 really

00:42:37.420 important

00:42:37.880 that

00:42:38.220 people

00:42:38.680 frankly

00:42:40.500 help

00:42:40.880 us

00:42:41.140 as

00:42:41.320 quickly

00:42:41.560 as

00:42:41.780 they

00:42:41.900 can

00:42:42.160 yeah

00:42:42.480 well

00:42:43.000 let me

00:42:43.160 just

00:42:43.320 throw

00:42:43.460 one

00:42:51.700 to

00:42:52.020 resolve

00:42:52.520 it

00:42:52.680 obviously

00:42:53.000 we

00:42:53.240 would

00:42:53.400 never

00:42:53.680 sell

00:42:54.160 out

00:42:54.300 our

00:42:54.460 freedom

00:42:54.740 but

00:42:55.460 look

00:42:55.680 we're

00:42:55.940 in

00:42:56.240 this

00:42:56.380 business

00:42:56.660 to

00:42:56.800 be

00:42:56.920 journalists

00:42:57.280 not

00:42:57.600 to

00:42:57.860 not

00:42:58.160 to

00:42:58.340 litigate

00:42:58.820 so

00:42:59.460 let's

00:42:59.840 see if

00:43:00.400 we can

00:43:00.620 handle

00:43:01.060 this

00:43:01.300 let's

00:43:01.540 see if

00:43:01.780 we

00:43:01.900 can

00:43:02.060 just

00:43:02.320 like

00:43:02.860 we

00:43:02.960 don't

00:43:03.180 need

00:43:03.380 another

00:43:03.840 battle

00:43:05.280 we

00:43:06.000 did

00:43:06.200 not

00:43:06.420 rush

00:43:06.800 to

00:43:07.000 this

00:43:07.200 battle

00:43:07.540 you

00:43:07.960 emailed

00:43:08.640 him

00:43:08.940 you

00:43:09.100 phoned

00:43:09.480 him

00:43:09.700 he

00:43:09.900 emailed

00:43:10.260 you

00:43:10.420 he

00:43:10.560 phoned

00:43:10.860 you

00:43:11.100 letters

00:43:11.740 back

00:43:12.080 and

00:43:12.260 forth

00:43:12.500 and

00:43:13.540 instead

00:43:14.060 of

00:43:14.240 resolving

00:43:14.700 it

00:43:14.940 it

00:43:15.100 just

00:43:15.280 made

00:43:15.480 them

00:43:15.680 angrier

00:43:16.380 and

00:43:17.220 as

00:43:17.400 we've

00:43:17.600 just

00:43:17.760 played

00:43:18.000 for

00:43:18.200 everybody

00:43:18.640 they

00:43:19.260 started

00:43:19.560 to

00:43:19.680 make

00:43:19.800 the

00:43:19.940 threats

00:43:20.220 and

00:43:20.480 those

00:43:20.720 threats

00:43:23.100 they're

00:43:31.920 pull

00:43:32.080 the

00:43:32.240 trigger

00:43:32.460 on this

00:44:45.240 from

00:44:55.580 theoretically

00:44:56.360 you

00:44:56.880 be

00:44:57.040 sent

00:46:10.700 to

00:46:11.260 help

00:46:11.620 me

00:46:11.940 keep

00:46:12.360 that

00:46:12.740 promise

00:46:13.240 at

00:46:14.340 savesheela.com

00:46:15.300 good luck

00:46:15.620 my friend

00:46:16.060 thank

00:46:17.240 you

00:46:17.420 all right

00:46:18.000 stay

00:46:18.540 with us

00:46:18.880 my final

00:46:19.300 thoughts

00:46:19.580 are next

00:46:30.680 welcome

00:46:32.320 back

00:46:32.540 I'm sorry

00:46:32.940 I'm so

00:46:33.320 angry

00:46:33.560 I'm angry

00:46:34.040 about what

00:46:34.420 they're doing

00:46:34.820 about

00:46:35.080 sheila

00:46:35.320 but when

00:46:35.600 I discovered

00:46:36.120 who they

00:46:36.920 hired

00:46:37.440 to go

00:46:38.320 after

00:46:38.560 sheila

00:46:38.940 my stomach

00:46:39.940 turned

00:46:40.260 maybe it's

00:46:40.660 because I

00:46:41.080 have young

00:46:41.480 children that

00:46:41.980 age

00:46:42.220 and I

00:46:42.680 could only

00:46:43.000 imagine

00:46:43.520 such a

00:46:44.300 person

00:46:44.540 holding

00:46:44.840 himself

00:46:45.180 as an

00:46:46.020 arbiter

00:46:46.420 of right

00:46:46.840 and wrong

00:46:47.240 who was

00:46:47.560 found

00:46:47.780 negligent

00:46:48.220 I'm sorry

00:46:48.620 I was so

00:46:49.080 angry

00:46:49.340 there

00:46:49.580 maybe

00:46:49.980 that's

00:46:50.220 irrelevant

00:46:50.580 maybe

00:46:51.100 all that

00:46:51.480 matters

00:46:51.880 is they're

00:46:52.320 coming to

00:46:52.640 extinguish

00:46:53.100 freedom

00:46:53.460 and I

00:46:54.080 shouldn't

00:46:54.560 care about

00:46:55.400 the fact

00:46:55.880 that this

00:46:56.620 dirty cop

00:46:57.260 killed a

00:46:57.720 kid

00:46:57.960 I don't

00:46:58.980 know

00:46:59.140 sorry

00:46:59.420 it's hard

00:46:59.720 for me

00:46:59.920 I'm a

00:47:00.080 dad

00:47:00.280 maybe

00:47:00.540 if you're

00:47:00.800 not a

00:47:01.040 dad

00:47:01.280 it doesn't

00:47:02.500 sting you

00:47:03.000 as much

00:47:03.460 but I

00:47:04.000 swear

00:47:04.500 on the

00:47:05.620 altar of

00:47:06.120 God

00:47:06.420 I swear

00:47:07.240 to you

00:47:07.800 as my

00:47:08.760 viewers

00:47:09.460 swear

00:47:09.720 on my

00:47:10.040 conscience

00:47:10.440 and I

00:47:10.800 swear

00:47:10.960 to my

00:47:11.240 friend

00:47:11.680 Sheila

00:47:12.520 that I

00:47:13.020 will do

00:47:13.820 everything

00:47:14.600 I can

00:47:15.720 to stop

00:47:16.800 them from

00:47:17.280 coming for

00:47:17.840 her

00:47:18.020 I will

00:47:18.600 use every

00:47:19.260 penny

00:47:19.640 we have

00:47:20.220 I will

00:47:20.700 use every

00:47:21.180 penny

00:47:21.460 I have

00:47:22.140 I will

00:47:22.780 do

00:47:22.960 everything

00:47:23.520 I can

00:47:24.060 do

00:47:24.420 to fight

00:47:25.220 back

00:47:25.540 we shall

00:47:26.100 not let

00:47:26.520 this

00:47:27.260 do you

00:47:27.640 know

00:47:28.040 what

00:47:28.300 Alberta's

00:47:28.900 motto

00:47:29.180 is

00:47:29.540 it's

00:47:29.800 strong

00:47:30.200 and

00:47:30.900 free

00:47:31.800 it is

00:47:32.600 not

00:47:32.960 a

00:47:33.280 place

00:47:33.660 where

00:47:34.100 we

00:47:34.300 prosecute

00:47:35.120 or

00:47:35.600 investigate

00:47:36.380 journalists

00:47:37.400 for

00:47:37.740 criticizing

00:47:38.360 the

00:47:38.920 government

00:47:39.360 and I

00:47:40.120 am

00:47:40.320 deeply

00:47:40.840 proud

00:47:41.400 that

00:47:41.860 Sheila

00:47:42.200 told me

00:47:43.080 privately

00:47:43.840 and she

00:47:44.220 confirmed

00:47:45.180 later on

00:47:46.060 the phone

00:47:46.340 to me

00:47:46.580 that she's

00:47:51.260 to me

00:47:51.600 that she

00:47:52.240 would

00:47:52.780 go to

00:47:53.560 prison

00:47:54.200 before she

00:47:55.380 bent the

00:47:56.020 knee

00:47:56.280 to this

00:47:56.940 disgraced

00:47:57.580 crew

00:47:57.880 and I

00:47:58.280 I said

00:47:59.040 to her
