Rebel News Podcast - I know why politicians tried to scare everyone when the pandemic arrived in the spring — but why are they still trying to scare us now？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Every day, the media tells us more and more cases of the virus. But what is a

00:00:05.140 case? Why are they doing it? What are they trying to prepare us for? What are they trying to whip

00:00:10.600 up? I'll give you my thoughts on it. That's next. But can I invite you to become a Rebel News Plus

00:00:17.040 subscriber? Because I show you about four or five different video clips in this podcast. And yeah,

00:00:22.160 you'll be able to figure it out from the sound. But I really want you to see it, especially what's

00:00:26.080 happening in Australia. Well, the videos out of there will make your eyes freeze and your hair

00:00:32.080 stand up like a porcupine. Just go to rebelnews.com and click subscribe at eight bucks a month. That's

00:00:37.540 a pretty good deal. Okay, here's today's show. Tonight,

00:00:56.080 I know why politicians tried to scare everyone when the pandemic arrived in the spring.

00:01:01.240 But why are they still trying to scare us now? It's September 22nd, and this is the Ezra LeBant Show.

00:01:08.420 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:12.140 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:16.200 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:20.820 bloody right to do so.

00:01:26.860 Every day I get terrifying news about new virus cases. Cases, not illnesses, not people in the

00:01:34.340 hospital, not people in intensive care, not people on a respirator or a ventilator. Remember those?

00:01:41.420 That was the big panic six months ago. Here's a CBC story from April 3rd.

00:01:45.820 Ontario needs 900 new ICU, that's intensive care unit beds, to cope with coming surge in COVID-19

00:01:54.720 patients, models suggest. So that's new beds, extra beds that were needed immediately. ICU,

00:02:03.080 intensive care unit. It's not just a bed, of course, not just a place to sleep. It's a whole

00:02:07.880 expensive complex suite. Machines, ventilators, oxygen, complicated sensors, and of course it's all

00:02:13.860 in a hospital. Imagine trying to add 900 ICU beds to cope with a coming surge in a matter of days.

00:02:22.280 Well, no problem. The government of Ontario didn't just add 900 acute care or intensive care beds.

00:02:30.500 On April 16th, it announced this. Province adds more than 2,000 acute care and critical care beds

00:02:37.820 and enacts pandemic staffing plans. Wow. I'll read some more. The province has added

00:02:46.020 1,035 acute care beds and 1,492 critical care beds and taken steps to ensure hospitals have the staff

00:02:55.260 available to care for a sudden surge in patients. Pretty impressive, but remember that's just what

00:03:00.440 was added. There were a lot of beds in place before the pandemic. Take a look at these stats.

00:03:08.660 As a result, Ontario has a total of 20,354 acute care beds with the potential for another 4,205 more

00:03:17.900 acute care beds by April 30th. Of Ontario's 3,504 critical care beds, 2,811 are now equipped with

00:03:26.120 ventilators up from 1,319 when the outbreak first started. More than 20,000 acute care beds. By the way,

00:03:36.640 there are more than 250 different hospitals in Ontario. So just to recap, in early April, the CBC was

00:03:42.800 panicking, saying Ontario needed 900 more beds. Doug Ford met that and raised it, adding more than 2,000 new

00:03:50.120 beds, bringing the total to 20,000, of which 2,811 had ventilators. So how did it work out? Did they

00:03:59.540 survive the surge? Well, look, reality didn't quite listen to the models from the experts and their

00:04:07.620 panics. Look at this. As you can see by this chart of Ontario hospitalizations and ICU cases, the number

00:04:15.180 of ICU beds, intensive care beds needed in Ontario peaked just six days after that panic article in

00:04:22.140 the CBC at a grand total of 264. I can't even find the maximum number who needed ventilators. It's

00:04:32.460 typically a small fraction of the people in the ICU. But just for reference, in the entire province of

00:04:39.420 Ontario today, there are a grand total of 11 people on a ventilator. 11. The province has 2,811 ventilators,

00:04:49.740 just in case. You know, the second surge and all that, that second wave and all that. Models say,

00:04:58.220 experts say, and all that. Here's the Ontario graph for daily new cases, which is the only one the media

00:05:04.100 is talking about. And for some reason, it's the very first graph on the Ontario statistics page.

00:05:10.380 Then there's the absolutely useless total cases over time graph. You know that by definition,

00:05:15.360 that number can never go down, right? It's like saying total number of Canadians who have

00:05:20.280 ever had a traffic accident over time. You know that number will only grow, right? It cannot shrink,

00:05:26.920 right? Over time, events only add up. They don't subtract. And the number is of no use in any way,

00:05:33.080 is it? It's like saying, did you know that the total number of people who have ever died in the world,

00:05:39.620 it's estimated to be over 100 billion people. And it's only growing. Does that make you feel better

00:05:46.060 or worse? Would a graph of that help you in any way, other than to know that the number is only

00:05:51.200 growing? What a weird number to track. Completely useless in every way, other than to give you an

00:05:56.000 ominous feeling. It's the daily deaths number that's the key indicator. For weeks in Ontario,

00:06:02.520 Ontario, it's hovered around two, plus or minus. It's so tiny on the graph, isn't it? It's so hard

00:06:08.620 to see. That's the whole province of Ontario, 14.5 million people. Here's a chart that makes it

00:06:15.680 easier to see. Zero on some days. One or two on some days. Average age of the deceased is the mid-80s.

00:06:22.260 I'm sorry to see it, but you know, again, don't mean to scare you, but did you know, according to

00:06:29.600 Statistics Canada, about 100,000 Ontarians die every year from all causes? So if you've got one or two a

00:06:39.020 day from the pandemic and you've got another 300 a day from all other things, for example, in Toronto

00:06:47.780 shootings are a bit of a problem. 173 people dead or injured from that this year so far, mostly young

00:06:54.220 people who don't really die from the virus. I wonder why politicians prefer to fight an imaginary

00:06:59.760 battle against the virus that peaked back in April as opposed to a real problem like gun violence that

00:07:05.380 keeps going up. It's going up. The battle against the defeated virus is done. It's defeated. I've

00:07:13.580 shown you the stats for Ontario pretty detailed, but it's the same or better pretty much across

00:07:17.860 Canada. For example, the entire province of Saskatchewan, there is one person in intensive care.

00:07:23.560 One person in a province of over a million people. So why is the panic being ratcheted up? Why the

00:07:28.960 emphasis on cases, which can mean anything? It can mean a false positive, for example, as in someone

00:07:34.860 doesn't have the virus, but they take the test and the test accidentally says they have the virus.

00:07:40.740 That's happening a lot. You know, I think a lot of people think that testing is going to really

00:07:49.380 solve the whole problem. And it isn't. It's one component of a response. If you test somebody today,

00:07:58.040 you only know if they're infected today. And in fact, if you're testing in a population that doesn't

00:08:06.480 have very much COVID, you'll get false positives almost half the time.

00:08:12.160 That's Ontario's deputy public health officer saying half of the tests are false positives.

00:08:17.920 They're bragging about how many tests they're giving to people who don't have any symptoms.

00:08:21.620 Why are we spending so much effort testing healthy people with no symptoms? Is it to generate false

00:08:29.440 positives? Is it to instill fear? Is it to make jobs for schemers and scammers to keep the emergency

00:08:35.400 going for the benefit of someone? Profiteers? I don't know. Why the renewed reinforcement? I mean,

00:08:43.020 here in Ontario, Doug Ford, the premier, he loves going to weddings with his friends. Here he is having a

00:08:49.120 grand old time despite the lockdown. Isn't it odd that he's the one now ratcheting up rules

00:08:54.200 for everyone else except him? We all know that a second wave of this virus is coming. We see it all

00:09:03.200 over the world. This virus is still amongst us and it's spreading. So the only question left is how bad

00:09:11.820 will the second wave be? And the answer to that question is up to all of us. It's up to you. It's up to the 14.5 million

00:09:20.900 people in this province. We've shown what we can achieve when we work together. Together, we got those

00:09:28.900 numbers down. We flattened the curve on the first wave. But we're not out of the woods. In today's numbers,

00:09:35.420 numbers, they're a cause for concern for all of us. Let me be crystal clear. Every option is on the

00:09:43.160 table. We will take every step necessary, including further shutdowns. In the second wave of COVID-19,

00:09:50.820 it's a scenario that we have been preparing for all summer long. I don't get Doug Ford. His chief move

00:09:57.340 is to insult people who aren't panicking like he wants them to, even though he himself obviously

00:10:03.200 is not panicking in his real life, his personal life. He's going to weddings. There was some car

00:10:10.100 show, you know, where people have a show and shine. They bring their old cars or whatever. Ford called

00:10:14.480 it a car race or something. I'm not sure there's actually any evidence that it was racing illegally.

00:10:19.420 And Ford just went nuts on those people. But those are his people, really his kind of people,

00:10:23.500 where they used to be. Not now. He's calling them dumb. He's saying they're deplorable.

00:10:29.960 And then all of a sudden we hear what's happening. They gather these organizers. And as for the

00:10:35.280 organizers, you know something, guys, I don't get it. I just don't get it. If we weren't so backlogged

00:10:41.560 on MRIs, I'd send you to the MRI to get your brain scanned because I just, I don't think there's

00:10:46.080 anything in there. We get the protocols out there and they just blatantly ignore the people.

00:10:52.780 Oh, and he's calling people concerned about their freedom, yahoos. 0.99

00:10:58.500 We have, you know, a bunch of yahoos out in the front of Queen's Park, sitting there protesting 1.00

00:11:04.540 that the place isn't open. As they're breaking the law and putting everyone in jeopardy,

00:11:10.400 putting themselves in jeopardy, putting the workers in jeopardy. And God forbid one of them

00:11:15.680 end up in the hospital down the street.

00:11:17.560 It's such an elitist thing when it's said by Hillary Clinton or Kathleen Wynne or the media

00:11:22.280 party sneering at normal people for not wanting to follow unscientific and irrational and arbitrary

00:11:29.520 rules, rules that the ruling class itself doesn't follow. But since when does the head 0.95

00:11:33.380 of Ford Nation mock his own people as dumb hicks? I know he gets praised by Justin Trudeau

00:11:39.400 and the Toronto Star for that, but I'm not sure what voters think.

00:11:42.020 I can take a guess what they'll think of this, though. Deploying police to enforce masks and

00:11:49.040 social distancing, like I say, like the stats show, the pandemic is over. People aren't afraid

00:11:53.780 enough, I guess. So why not have police go out there and make them afraid? This is what I've

00:11:58.620 been worried about. We've seen it in other Commonwealth countries. Jacinda Ardern, the ghoulish Prime 0.92

00:12:03.900 Minister of New Zealand, literally postponed her country's elections because of the pandemic.

00:12:09.320 What a little fascist. Watch her here as she laughs about indefinitely imprisoning anyone 1.00

00:12:13.920 who won't take a voluntary virus test.

00:12:16.900 You said I wanted to, I've got a number of questions about people refuse, you know, what

00:12:23.780 do we do if someone refuses to be tested? Well, they can't now. If someone refuses in our facilities

00:12:30.900 to be tested, they have to keep staying. So they won't be able to leave after 14 days,

00:12:36.880 they have to stay on for another 14 days. So it's a pretty good incentive. You either

00:12:41.140 get your tests done and make sure you're cleared, or we will keep you in a facility longer.

00:12:46.460 So I think people, most people will look at that and say, I'll take the, I'll take the test.

00:12:50.780 She's laughing there. That's New Zealand. Here's the state of Victoria in Southeast Australia.

00:12:56.480 This is a 69-year-old grandmother walking in the park.

00:12:59.100 Give me my gigabytes.

00:13:05.360 Give me myvak.

00:13:14.340 No!

00:13:15.500 No!

00:13:17.240 No!

00:13:17.740 why the handcuffs here's another Australian video we're gonna try to bleep

00:13:45.220 out the swearing a man was arrested for driving on the road I kid you not what are you gonna say

00:13:52.720 mate go on what do you got to say what's the reason you're pulling me over for I'm driving

00:14:02.140 a motor vehicle on a highway oh mate you're the best you're there mate that is not offense now we

00:14:13.060 will not be doing this I pulled out on a white street you're telling me a highway

00:14:16.000 what's your name there mate my name is responsible thing thank you very much and yours

00:14:23.160 oh you don't have a name here you don't have a name here and of course our own reporter

00:14:27.480 Abiyamini was smashed to the ground it was quite peaceful until

00:14:32.040 and the United Kingdom is just awful they've got a bizarre rule of six just arbitrary if you have

00:15:00.960 five people in your family you can't have your grandparents come over together one has to wait

00:15:05.520 out in the car I'm serious that is a rule there's massive 10,000 pound fines it's almost 20 grand

00:15:11.940 Canadian unless you're with Black Lives Matter then no problem have a big meet up as you want 0.88

00:15:17.040 seriously here's a peaceful anti-lockdown protest in Trafalgar Square look at the riot police smash in

00:15:23.160 compare that to the same UK police during the pandemic at a Black Lives Matter protest

00:15:36.660 yeah I guess the virus only attacks conservatives or something what on earth is happening over there

00:15:56.460 but of course why would we be immune to it here we have the same source of law the same culture and

00:16:02.300 history when it comes to policing and our courts and freedom so if New Zealand Australia the UK can

00:16:08.600 all collapse can we I expect it to start happening now the second wave drumbeat is high for the pandemic

00:16:17.100 cases cases arising cases cases cases I don't see any opposition from you know the opposition parties

00:16:23.540 have you the media is totally on board in fact they're just screaming for more

00:16:28.720 and the police here well we've shown you how Canadian police can be political I'm worried

00:16:35.160 seriously how long until you see this sort of thing arresting a woman bursting into her home

00:16:40.320 because she made a Facebook post against the lockdown this is from Australia

00:16:44.520 I'll take it easy what's this about but I have an ultrasound in an hour let me finish and I'll explain

00:16:50.960 it's in relation to a Facebook post in relation to a lockdown protest you put on for Saturday yeah and I wasn't

00:16:58.180 breaking any laws by doing that you are actually you are breaking all that's why I'm arresting you in relation

00:17:02.960 in front of my children in front of my two children can't you just say to her take the post down like come on

00:17:09.080 I think that's coming to Canada why wouldn't it why would it only infect other commonwealth countries and not us

00:17:26.520 the virus of fascism I mean the media is lusting for that there's an irrational hatred towards normal people who aren't loving the pandemic panic take a look at this in the Toronto Star just yesterday

00:17:37.520 look at this in the Toronto Star just yesterday spot someone not wearing a mask here's what you should and shouldn't do I'll read some of it it's by

00:17:45.580 Karen Liu culture reporter my current strategy in encouraging non-mask compliant strangers to put on a mask is as follows give them a dirty look and then briskly walk past them in a big curve as if they have a magnetic force field that repels everything not surprisingly it doesn't work either they don't notice don't care or think I'm

00:18:06.480 smizing a smizing a smizing a smizing is a made up word which means smiling with your eyes that actually makes me laugh because of course you can't really communicate much can you when you're wearing a muzzle so much of our communication is nonverbal facial expressions a smile a fake smile a scowl try doing any of that with a mask on

00:18:26.480 the Toronto Star writer here is trying to show how woke he is he's actually showing how rude he is how antisocial he is how much of a scold and a snitch he is but really

00:18:36.620 how dumb he is he has lost the ability to communicate with body language with facial expressions he's not saying anything and he's wondering why he can't communicate and he's asking for help but he doesn't even realize 0.62

00:18:49.860 it's because of the mask he's wearing that no one can understand the scowl on his face he lacks the courage to actually say anything and his scowl doesn't work from behind a mask what an idiot let me read some more from his column 0.65

00:19:02.000 fortunately the majority of people I see when outside have been following public health guidelines

00:19:08.160 but what should I do if anything at all when I see that one person not wearing a mask or physically distancing

00:19:14.520 I want to look out for the safety of those around me after all we're supposed to be in this COVID-19 pandemic together right

00:19:20.600 of course in in Toronto it's illegal to ask someone why they're exempt I guess he doesn't know that

00:19:29.640 there are plenty of reasons not to wear a mask and if you are exempt and there's a bunch of reasons

00:19:37.040 it is actually illegal for some busy body whether it's a cop or a storekeeper or a Toronto star snitch

00:19:45.040 asking you why it would be like asking someone in a wheelchair prove you're disabled get out of that wheelchair prove you 0.69

00:19:51.040 that's creepy look at this weirdo I'll read some more

00:19:54.740 I asked my Twitter followers what they do when coming across someone not physically distancing or wearing a mask

00:20:01.660 most replied they keep their distance and move on adding it's not worth it to risk having an angry individual

00:20:06.980 get close to their face others said they have tried to tell people to mask up but were ignored

00:20:11.780 when it comes to a business some just don't shop there anymore if they don't feel safe

00:20:15.780 sounds like this reporter's friends are actually smarter than him if you're so afraid yourself don't go out

00:20:22.140 I thought masks were supposed to make you safe though not wanting a conflict with another citizen is a good idea

00:20:28.540 that's normal but I think the scolds and the snitches are probably the abusive ones more often than not remember this

00:20:36.140 quit policing other people

00:20:39.940 quit policing other people

00:20:42.440 get out of her face then 1.00

00:20:43.440 then go

00:20:44.440 move your badass 0.93

00:20:46.740 I gotta go this way

00:20:48.940 move your stupid ass and go 1.00

00:20:50.580 can someone call the police please

00:20:52.940 no for harassment and for people policing other people

00:20:58.840 you can't actually call the police

00:21:01.060 yes you can

00:21:02.440 it's part of the bylaw

00:21:04.940 yeah I can tell those ladies are worried about their health 1.00

00:21:08.640 get this

00:21:09.760 University of Toronto psychology professor Steve Jordans

00:21:12.660 says even with the best intentions it's easy to come off as accusatory when asking someone to wear a mask

00:21:19.340 when confronted people tend to have a flight or fight response

00:21:23.620 and as we've seen through countless viral videos a few have opted for the latter

00:21:27.320 I think the psychology professor is engaging in projection here

00:21:31.500 he's saying the normal people are afraid and the mask people are the normal sane ones

00:21:37.200 I'm not sure about that chief

00:21:39.000 I'll read some more Jordan says there's a temptation to automatically think of a non mask wearer as a conspiracy theorist who doesn't believe in COVID-19

00:21:46.720 and while there are people that fit that description

00:21:48.580 there are also individuals who might still be in a state of denial that a pandemic is happening after going through personal trauma such as losing a job or a family member

00:21:56.780 I don't think anyone doesn't believe COVID-19 exists

00:22:00.480 I think a lot of people believe it's not a statistical danger anymore

00:22:05.060 because it's not mathematically as to conspiracy theories

00:22:09.520 I wonder what the good doctor here thinks about how China explained the virus and how it spread

00:22:15.140 I wonder if he believes them and thinks mask skeptics are the naive ones 0.82

00:22:20.180 I wonder if he thinks that Trudeau and Patty Hajdu and Teresa Tam have done everything just right

00:22:26.000 and China's World Health Organization is just right on top of things

00:22:30.700 if you think China and the World Health Organization and Patty Hajdu and Teresa Tam and Justin Trudeau have been telling the truth

00:22:37.080 you probably believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself

00:22:39.880 I wouldn't accuse other people of conspiracy theories

00:22:42.520 I'll read some more

00:22:44.180 to some extent we lost our previous way of life

00:22:47.660 and wearing a mask is associated with accepting that life isn't going to be the same he said

00:22:51.280 for some people that is hard to accept

00:22:53.280 I'll give the good doctor that one

00:22:55.620 he seems to be happy to accept it though

00:22:58.000 I'm not going to read any more of this Toronto Star column to you

00:23:00.160 it's not really a piece about morality or ethics

00:23:02.360 because the advice is to marginalize and demonize and harass people

00:23:06.640 many of whom have lawful mask exemptions

00:23:09.440 it's basically they're trying to pick on people who have asthma or respiratory problems

00:23:13.280 it's not really a piece about morality

00:23:16.180 it's not a piece about legality

00:23:18.120 like I say every mask bylaw in Canada has exemptions

00:23:20.940 in Toronto you're not allowed to ask people to prove they're exempt

00:23:23.180 it's not a piece about science is it

00:23:25.680 no one is dying from this virus anymore

00:23:27.700 in all of Ontario maybe one or two people a day

00:23:31.460 average age mid-80s

00:23:32.900 I checked there hasn't been a death in Toronto since August

00:23:35.380 this column isn't about any of that

00:23:38.180 it's about preparing society

00:23:40.420 conditioning people for the second wave

00:23:43.680 not the second wave of the pandemic

00:23:45.180 that's not coming folks

00:23:46.820 it's about the second wave of police

00:23:49.540 and politicians and bureaucrats

00:23:51.060 and scolds going full Australian on you

00:23:54.340 it's about the war against you

00:23:57.940 by the ruling class

00:24:00.420 that's been enjoying itself

00:24:02.680 just a little too much these past six months

00:24:05.680 stay with us for more

00:24:07.840 well get ready for the bad news

00:24:21.160 Justin Trudeau's going to have the governor general

00:24:24.300 read his throne speech

00:24:26.740 I can only imagine how much spending in a green new deal

00:24:30.840 he's going to try and echo the AOC wing

00:24:34.620 of the Democrats in the states

00:24:36.260 spending is no object

00:24:37.720 taxing is no object

00:24:39.060 and as they say

00:24:40.300 never let a crisis go to waste

00:24:41.980 I think that's what we see from Trudeau

00:24:43.560 at the same time we see

00:24:45.280 so-called recovery councils

00:24:47.900 with people who've never run a business in their life

00:24:51.180 people like Gerald Butts

00:24:52.300 the disgraced former aide to Justin Trudeau

00:24:54.700 I see he's putting his oar back into the water

00:24:57.020 with lots of advice for green spending and taxes

00:24:59.820 I'm terrified

00:25:00.560 even Chrystia Freeland

00:25:02.140 who's supposed to be the more moderate member of cabinet

00:25:05.040 is talking about decarbonizing the country

00:25:08.020 so I was delighted to see a press conference today

00:25:11.360 by a pro-business group of people

00:25:13.200 who actually run businesses

00:25:15.540 they're called Canadians for a Responsible Recovery

00:25:18.620 and there's a lot of familiar names in the group

00:25:21.180 Dan McTague

00:25:22.540 the moderate liberal

00:25:24.320 Patrick Moore

00:25:26.140 our friend

00:25:27.280 the co-founder of Greenpeace

00:25:29.460 and our next guest

00:25:30.880 Catherine Swift

00:25:32.000 who has spent her life

00:25:33.320 being an advocate

00:25:34.460 for small businesses

00:25:35.800 and she joins us now

00:25:36.960 via Skype

00:25:37.920 great to see you again Catherine

00:25:39.300 thanks for taking the time to be with us

00:25:40.980 my pleasure

00:25:41.980 as always Ezra

00:25:42.880 well thanks for being here

00:25:44.120 this is

00:25:45.480 sort of a pre-buttal

00:25:47.200 right

00:25:47.500 it's not a re-buttal

00:25:48.420 it's a

00:25:48.800 it's a

00:25:49.760 first strike

00:25:50.520 against Trudeau

00:25:52.140 and his throne speech

00:25:53.420 and some of these

00:25:54.240 pro-government

00:25:55.980 pro-spending

00:25:56.880 NGOs

00:25:57.780 tell me a little bit more

00:25:58.940 about Canadians

00:25:59.720 for a Responsible Recovery

00:26:02.340 that's your group

00:26:03.140 yeah well

00:26:04.340 it started off

00:26:05.520 actually

00:26:06.140 with an organization

00:26:08.080 called

00:26:08.840 Coalition of Concern Manufacturers

00:26:11.480 and Businesses of Canada

00:26:13.900 now they started off

00:26:14.740 in Ontario

00:26:15.360 but they branched out nationally

00:26:16.920 and the impetus for it

00:26:18.780 was

00:26:19.200 the massively increased

00:26:20.960 hydro rates

00:26:21.840 in Ontario

00:26:22.500 which of course

00:26:23.940 more than doubled

00:26:25.080 in many instances

00:26:26.240 under the Green Energy Act

00:26:28.840 back in 2009

00:26:30.180 it was introduced

00:26:31.020 and in subsequent years

00:26:32.580 and

00:26:33.420 a lot of these businesses

00:26:35.220 and I know

00:26:35.740 many of the owners

00:26:36.660 and they're

00:26:37.080 you know

00:26:37.340 good employers

00:26:38.020 they tend to have

00:26:39.280 anywhere from about

00:26:40.260 50 to

00:26:41.120 several hundred employees

00:26:42.780 they

00:26:44.400 some of them

00:26:45.540 were driven

00:26:46.340 almost out of business

00:26:47.820 or out of the country

00:26:48.840 and not

00:26:49.920 not willingly

00:26:50.980 some of them

00:26:51.900 I have relocated

00:26:52.980 simply because

00:26:54.020 the alternative was

00:26:55.700 they were not going

00:26:56.640 to be in business

00:26:57.300 at all

00:26:57.740 so

00:26:58.900 they're really alarming

00:27:00.560 there's a lot of

00:27:01.200 alarming things here

00:27:02.200 but this particular group

00:27:03.960 and as you mentioned

00:27:04.740 they're business owners

00:27:05.580 they're the ones

00:27:06.100 that are

00:27:06.400 dealing with

00:27:07.580 real issues

00:27:08.840 every single day

00:27:09.800 employing lots of people

00:27:10.960 paying lots of taxes

00:27:12.040 and

00:27:12.880 when we saw this

00:27:14.280 group

00:27:15.120 that's called

00:27:15.920 the Resilient Recovery Group

00:27:17.780 and of course

00:27:18.880 it is

00:27:19.360 it's Gerald Butts

00:27:20.340 it's a number of other

00:27:22.060 Bruce Lurie is another one

00:27:23.380 basically a lot of the architects

00:27:25.460 of the Green Energy Act

00:27:26.840 in Ontario

00:27:27.420 are involved yet again

00:27:29.020 and of course

00:27:29.960 what they're basically

00:27:30.940 trying to do

00:27:31.860 is extend

00:27:32.880 the complete devastation

00:27:34.540 that the Green Energy Act

00:27:35.960 had in Ontario

00:27:38.000 to the whole country

00:27:39.380 and it's

00:27:40.500 it's

00:27:40.880 there's

00:27:41.380 there's just so many

00:27:42.600 worrisome things here

00:27:43.840 and elements to it

00:27:45.740 that

00:27:45.960 you know

00:27:46.840 that one could discuss

00:27:48.100 but

00:27:48.360 I think the bottom line

00:27:49.700 the real bottom line here

00:27:51.080 is

00:27:51.500 that

00:27:52.140 what

00:27:52.700 and we'll see

00:27:53.660 we'll see in the throne speech

00:27:54.920 we haven't seen it yet

00:27:55.900 but all indications are

00:27:57.780 that the Trudeau government

00:27:59.140 is going to go

00:27:59.800 all in

00:28:00.600 on a so-called

00:28:01.700 green recovery

00:28:03.240 which

00:28:04.120 basically

00:28:05.080 means

00:28:06.020 that

00:28:06.660 businesses

00:28:08.120 and organizations

00:28:09.300 and entities

00:28:10.360 that

00:28:11.380 take in

00:28:12.200 way more of our tax dollars

00:28:13.700 than they will ever

00:28:14.580 actually produce

00:28:15.760 are the ones

00:28:16.860 that are going to be

00:28:17.980 in charge of this

00:28:19.360 and the businesses

00:28:20.120 such as in the

00:28:21.320 group that I'm associated with

00:28:23.040 the ones that actually

00:28:24.980 produce tax dollars

00:28:26.100 create real live jobs

00:28:27.520 that don't have to be

00:28:28.300 subsidized

00:28:28.960 by the

00:28:30.040 by the FISC

00:28:30.960 they're the ones

00:28:32.360 that are going to be

00:28:33.140 disadvantaged

00:28:33.760 and

00:28:34.200 if we can just take

00:28:35.360 the experience

00:28:36.080 in Ontario

00:28:36.740 and I recently read

00:28:38.020 the

00:28:38.320 resilient recovery groups

00:28:40.240 plans

00:28:41.020 and by the way

00:28:41.480 they want 55 billion dollars

00:28:43.180 is their latest ask

00:28:45.080 not chump change 0.99

00:28:46.200 exactly

00:28:46.600 they want a whole

00:28:47.980 whack of our money

00:28:48.820 and

00:28:49.760 they make

00:28:50.580 all the same claims

00:28:51.940 in

00:28:52.680 what they're currently

00:28:53.740 proposing to do

00:28:54.700 to Canada

00:28:55.220 that the Green Energy Act

00:28:56.720 made in Ontario

00:28:57.860 back years ago

00:28:59.220 all these green jobs

00:29:00.300 are going to be created

00:29:01.060 all this

00:29:01.760 prosperity

00:29:02.760 is going to be created

00:29:03.740 and so on

00:29:04.280 of course

00:29:04.900 absolutely

00:29:05.620 zero

00:29:06.580 of that

00:29:07.200 ever

00:29:07.560 came to pass

00:29:08.620 and how

00:29:09.520 you know

00:29:10.300 you feel

00:29:10.840 you kind of feel

00:29:11.800 like Charlie Brown

00:29:12.780 and Lucy

00:29:13.420 with the football

00:29:14.180 you know

00:29:14.680 when does Charlie Brown

00:29:15.980 smarten up

00:29:16.800 when do we

00:29:17.720 Canadian taxpayers

00:29:18.800 smarten up

00:29:19.640 and realize

00:29:20.540 that these groups

00:29:21.340 do not have

00:29:22.020 our best interests

00:29:22.860 at heart

00:29:23.240 mind you

00:29:23.820 they're doing

00:29:24.220 very well

00:29:24.800 financially

00:29:25.180 for their own

00:29:25.980 their own

00:29:26.500 you know

00:29:26.760 their pockets

00:29:27.360 are being lined

00:29:28.040 very very substantially

00:29:29.780 when do we

00:29:30.900 smarten up

00:29:31.520 and realize

00:29:32.200 that these promises

00:29:33.160 that have been made

00:29:34.420 for years

00:29:35.240 and years

00:29:35.680 and years

00:29:36.200 and we see it

00:29:37.260 around the world

00:29:37.800 it's not just

00:29:38.380 in Canada

00:29:38.820 but in Canada

00:29:39.700 like I say

00:29:40.220 we have this example

00:29:41.160 in Ontario

00:29:41.800 where none

00:29:43.040 of the commitments

00:29:43.700 none of the promises

00:29:44.660 ever came to pass

00:29:45.720 in fact

00:29:46.540 major damage

00:29:48.160 was done

00:29:48.660 to average

00:29:49.460 Ontarians

00:29:50.860 average taxpayers

00:29:51.920 and we're starting

00:29:52.800 to see it nationally

00:29:53.620 with the carbon tax

00:29:54.900 of course

00:29:55.320 has hurt

00:29:55.880 you know

00:29:56.440 for a government

00:29:56.920 that says

00:29:57.340 it wants to support

00:29:58.460 the middle class

00:29:59.000 it's hurt

00:29:59.660 the middle class

00:30:00.280 badly

00:30:00.700 and these things

00:30:02.080 that they're proposing

00:30:02.820 now

00:30:03.300 to unfold

00:30:04.660 in the future

00:30:05.280 supposedly

00:30:05.900 to get us

00:30:06.600 out of our

00:30:07.040 pandemic slump

00:30:08.180 will not only

00:30:09.740 not get us

00:30:10.440 out of the

00:30:10.780 pandemic slump

00:30:11.720 but worsen

00:30:12.680 the situation

00:30:13.760 and hurt

00:30:14.960 the businesses

00:30:15.780 that actually

00:30:16.440 do contribute

00:30:17.200 to Canada's

00:30:17.840 bottom line

00:30:18.380 yeah

00:30:18.820 it's so absurd

00:30:19.600 to focus

00:30:20.280 on greenhouse

00:30:20.960 gas emissions

00:30:22.040 as if that's

00:30:23.020 in the top

00:30:24.040 20 list

00:30:25.260 of concerns

00:30:25.760 for ordinary

00:30:26.240 Canadians

00:30:26.660 I predict

00:30:27.700 that when

00:30:28.240 the measurements

00:30:29.020 are in

00:30:29.660 in a year

00:30:30.620 or so

00:30:31.100 we'll see

00:30:31.840 that the

00:30:32.220 pandemic lockdown

00:30:33.340 actually had

00:30:34.820 the greatest

00:30:36.040 diminishment

00:30:36.760 of global

00:30:37.640 warming

00:30:38.280 gases

00:30:38.920 greenhouse gases

00:30:39.740 in

00:30:40.760 maybe ever

00:30:42.040 because

00:30:42.800 no one

00:30:43.460 was driving

00:30:44.080 factories

00:30:44.700 were shut

00:30:45.260 down

00:30:45.540 no one

00:30:46.020 was working

00:30:46.960 the economy

00:30:47.880 ground to a halt

00:30:49.800 more than a million

00:30:50.780 Canadians thrown

00:30:51.560 out of work

00:30:52.000 it's what the left

00:30:53.000 calls degrowth

00:30:54.620 even population

00:30:56.020 immigration

00:30:56.980 was halted

00:30:57.860 so that's

00:30:59.080 the kind of

00:30:59.800 extreme

00:31:00.560 catastrophic

00:31:01.840 shock

00:31:02.580 to our

00:31:03.560 modern

00:31:04.040 industrial

00:31:04.820 commercial

00:31:05.260 life

00:31:05.820 needed to

00:31:06.940 reduce

00:31:07.520 greenhouse

00:31:07.880 gas

00:31:08.460 emissions

00:31:09.240 so

00:31:09.940 it's

00:31:10.820 simply

00:31:11.140 impossible

00:31:11.800 to

00:31:12.220 grow

00:31:12.680 the economy

00:31:13.340 get people

00:31:14.340 back to work

00:31:14.920 and be happy

00:31:15.600 again

00:31:16.120 without emissions

00:31:17.660 rising

00:31:18.180 so my

00:31:19.140 point is

00:31:19.800 having

00:31:20.340 Gerald

00:31:20.780 Butz

00:31:21.140 or Alexandria

00:31:21.940 Ocasio-Cortez

00:31:23.420 in charge

00:31:24.060 of a recovery

00:31:24.760 they don't

00:31:26.060 want a recovery

00:31:26.860 they don't

00:31:27.260 believe in

00:31:27.920 the concept

00:31:28.500 of growth

00:31:29.280 because growth

00:31:30.460 means more

00:31:31.120 energy use

00:31:32.060 and

00:31:32.740 they actually

00:31:34.180 like

00:31:34.880 the lockdown

00:31:35.960 because it's

00:31:36.640 a form of

00:31:37.160 deindustrialization

00:31:38.780 what do you

00:31:39.300 think of that

00:31:39.900 yeah well I think

00:31:41.180 there's a lot of

00:31:41.700 truth there

00:31:42.200 sadly

00:31:42.660 and yes

00:31:43.860 I think if

00:31:44.920 people really

00:31:45.600 do want to see

00:31:46.480 what decarbonization

00:31:48.040 looks like

00:31:48.660 let's see what

00:31:49.220 we've endured

00:31:49.720 over the last

00:31:50.380 few months

00:31:50.800 with the pandemic

00:31:51.580 where tons of

00:31:53.300 people have

00:31:53.720 suffered horribly

00:31:54.520 granted

00:31:55.420 not the

00:31:55.960 butz

00:31:56.740 and their

00:31:57.860 gang

00:31:59.320 not public

00:32:00.300 sector workers

00:32:01.020 either of

00:32:01.580 course

00:32:01.800 because they've

00:32:02.280 all

00:32:02.560 continued to

00:32:03.540 make exactly

00:32:04.620 the same

00:32:05.040 money for

00:32:05.600 not working

00:32:06.120 as they

00:32:06.460 would have

00:32:06.760 if they

00:32:07.400 if they

00:32:07.800 actually

00:32:08.100 were working

00:32:08.720 and of course

00:32:09.220 that is on all of us

00:32:10.420 free paid vacations

00:32:11.680 for the government

00:32:12.660 sector

00:32:13.040 they've loved

00:32:13.580 the last six months

00:32:14.300 it's really

00:32:15.260 laughable

00:32:15.960 in a sick

00:32:16.680 kind of way

00:32:18.100 but you know

00:32:18.760 Ezra I think

00:32:19.600 also one thing

00:32:20.480 that should be

00:32:21.120 should be said

00:32:22.580 is that this

00:32:23.340 whole climate

00:32:23.960 debate

00:32:24.420 has been presented

00:32:25.760 as such a

00:32:26.880 polarized

00:32:27.240 you're either

00:32:27.760 on or you're

00:32:28.600 off you know

00:32:29.140 there's no

00:32:29.520 middle ground

00:32:30.140 and I think

00:32:30.840 this is something

00:32:31.500 that this group

00:32:32.640 that I'm with

00:32:33.180 the CCNBC

00:32:34.060 wants to

00:32:35.180 get across

00:32:36.300 is that

00:32:36.920 there are ways

00:32:38.060 to do very

00:32:38.940 sensible things

00:32:39.960 for the climate

00:32:40.500 in fact

00:32:41.000 much more sensible

00:32:42.080 than the

00:32:43.080 the radical

00:32:43.900 greenies

00:32:45.240 would like to

00:32:46.260 implement

00:32:46.740 without

00:32:47.780 impoverishing

00:32:49.280 everybody else

00:32:50.560 and I think

00:32:51.600 this is the

00:32:52.080 this is an

00:32:53.060 important consideration

00:32:54.000 it doesn't mean

00:32:55.180 you're saying

00:32:56.020 there aren't issues

00:32:56.880 that we should deal

00:32:57.660 with with the climate

00:32:58.400 of course there are

00:32:59.280 and frankly

00:32:59.720 there probably

00:33:00.140 always have been

00:33:00.880 but we can do

00:33:02.040 that at much

00:33:03.400 less cost

00:33:04.540 and and difficulty

00:33:06.380 imposed on

00:33:07.520 on everyone else

00:33:08.500 than has been

00:33:09.260 the case to date

00:33:09.960 and the Green Energy

00:33:10.940 Act Ontario

00:33:11.580 is a classic

00:33:12.160 example for the

00:33:13.360 cost that

00:33:14.380 and think

00:33:15.300 that government

00:33:16.500 that liberal

00:33:17.120 government of

00:33:17.700 Dalton McGuinty

00:33:18.340 at the time

00:33:18.840 signed 40 year

00:33:20.780 contracts

00:33:21.440 there were 40

00:33:22.540 year contract

00:33:23.260 how absurd

00:33:24.080 tying the hands

00:33:25.440 of governments

00:33:26.060 for the foreseeable

00:33:27.320 future

00:33:27.700 that's that kind

00:33:28.520 of thing should

00:33:28.980 be illegal

00:33:29.820 in my opinion

00:33:30.880 but you know

00:33:32.340 the amount

00:33:33.000 the amount

00:33:33.660 of economic

00:33:34.800 loss

00:33:35.260 job loss

00:33:36.180 difficulty

00:33:37.300 imposition

00:33:38.340 of high

00:33:38.820 unnecessarily

00:33:39.820 high cost

00:33:40.460 for things like

00:33:40.980 hydro

00:33:41.300 which nobody

00:33:41.880 can really

00:33:42.760 live without

00:33:43.220 in this country

00:33:43.820 on average

00:33:45.340 people

00:33:45.800 there have been

00:33:46.600 studies that have

00:33:47.260 shown

00:33:47.660 the same

00:33:48.460 environmental

00:33:48.960 benefits

00:33:49.580 which were there

00:33:50.560 to be fair

00:33:51.240 but they

00:33:51.980 weren't

00:33:52.340 massive

00:33:53.040 the same

00:33:54.000 environmental

00:33:54.540 benefits could

00:33:55.240 have been

00:33:55.460 achieved at

00:33:56.120 about one

00:33:56.660 tenth of

00:33:57.760 the cost

00:33:58.220 so that's

00:33:58.960 the kind

00:33:59.300 of solutions

00:33:59.820 that we're

00:34:00.280 looking at

00:34:00.800 sensible

00:34:01.440 solutions

00:34:02.040 not shutting

00:34:02.820 down the

00:34:03.240 economy

00:34:03.660 not alienating

00:34:05.100 businesses

00:34:05.620 and investment

00:34:06.380 that create

00:34:07.240 wealth

00:34:07.580 create tax

00:34:08.340 dollars

00:34:08.680 and create

00:34:09.280 jobs in

00:34:09.900 Canada

00:34:10.240 but rather

00:34:11.140 you know

00:34:11.840 having a

00:34:12.600 middle ground

00:34:13.260 where yes

00:34:13.760 you're doing

00:34:14.140 some sensible

00:34:14.780 things that

00:34:15.660 actually accomplish

00:34:16.400 something for

00:34:16.940 the environment

00:34:17.420 but at a

00:34:18.120 cost that is

00:34:18.800 sustainable for

00:34:19.700 our country

00:34:20.240 and our

00:34:20.600 economy

00:34:21.020 I think

00:34:22.000 I'm more

00:34:22.300 conservative

00:34:22.700 than you

00:34:23.140 on that

00:34:23.520 I don't

00:34:24.240 think that

00:34:24.760 carbon

00:34:26.300 emissions

00:34:26.720 are actually

00:34:27.340 a problem

00:34:28.200 I believe

00:34:28.660 in fighting

00:34:29.580 real pollution

00:34:30.620 particulate

00:34:31.420 pollution

00:34:31.980 I want

00:34:33.540 clean air

00:34:34.240 clean water

00:34:35.060 clean soil

00:34:35.700 but carbon

00:34:36.500 dioxide

00:34:36.940 itself

00:34:37.580 I think

00:34:38.420 is the

00:34:38.760 stuff of

00:34:39.180 life

00:34:39.500 and

00:34:39.800 but let's

00:34:41.960 set that

00:34:42.340 aside

00:34:42.680 for sure

00:34:43.000 I don't

00:34:43.560 disagree

00:34:43.860 with you

00:34:44.160 there

00:34:44.360 because I

00:34:44.920 was referring

00:34:46.140 to it

00:34:46.560 writ large

00:34:47.140 yes we

00:34:48.180 do have

00:34:48.560 an issue

00:34:48.980 with plastics

00:34:49.980 in our

00:34:50.540 waterways

00:34:51.100 but again

00:34:52.420 even that's

00:34:53.120 more of a

00:34:53.720 problem in

00:34:54.460 China and

00:34:55.080 India and

00:34:55.620 Africa

00:34:55.900 precisely

00:34:56.580 it's not

00:34:57.280 Canada

00:34:57.800 that is

00:34:58.440 doing most

00:34:59.540 of this

00:35:00.460 either

00:35:01.640 and that's

00:35:02.340 a whole other

00:35:02.940 element of this

00:35:03.920 debate

00:35:04.240 is why are we

00:35:05.220 the masochists 0.96

00:35:06.080 of the world

00:35:06.900 in Canada

00:35:07.860 punishing ourselves

00:35:09.580 mightily

00:35:10.260 for things

00:35:11.060 that frankly

00:35:11.620 we can't even

00:35:12.180 influence very much

00:35:13.120 well Trudeau

00:35:13.780 is the king

00:35:14.340 of virtue

00:35:14.700 signaling

00:35:15.060 now I

00:35:15.840 have in

00:35:16.580 my hand

00:35:17.120 here your

00:35:17.780 plan

00:35:18.820 for Canadians

00:35:20.220 for responsible

00:35:20.920 recovery

00:35:21.300 and you've

00:35:21.880 got six

00:35:22.540 key points

00:35:23.500 and I want

00:35:23.880 to whip

00:35:24.220 through them

00:35:24.720 let me read

00:35:25.700 the title

00:35:26.640 of each of

00:35:27.140 these six

00:35:27.560 to you

00:35:27.900 and you

00:35:28.880 give me

00:35:29.260 a one

00:35:29.840 sentence

00:35:30.280 explanation

00:35:30.740 so I

00:35:31.240 want to

00:35:31.460 be able

00:35:31.640 to get

00:35:31.840 through

00:35:32.020 all six

00:35:32.560 so these

00:35:33.340 will be

00:35:33.560 short

00:35:33.860 snappers

00:35:34.360 your first

00:35:35.500 one is

00:35:35.960 we have

00:35:37.280 to curtail

00:35:37.940 public spending

00:35:38.780 not expand

00:35:40.140 it give me

00:35:40.560 a soundbite

00:35:41.200 on that

00:35:41.720 well

00:35:43.280 frankly

00:35:44.460 the fact

00:35:44.940 that that

00:35:45.300 should even

00:35:45.780 need

00:35:46.100 explanation

00:35:46.960 is I guess

00:35:48.860 beyond me

00:35:49.620 okay the second

00:35:50.840 point

00:35:51.100 we have to

00:35:51.900 move away

00:35:52.340 from arbitrary

00:35:53.180 emission

00:35:53.860 reduction

00:35:54.820 targets

00:35:55.440 that's the

00:35:56.180 same thing

00:35:56.660 I mean

00:35:56.860 it's just

00:35:57.620 not the

00:35:57.940 priority

00:35:58.320 now

00:35:58.660 no

00:35:59.660 and not

00:36:00.100 only that

00:36:00.580 but again

00:36:01.280 and a lot

00:36:02.160 of this

00:36:02.460 gets down

00:36:03.020 to believing

00:36:03.660 in fantasy

00:36:04.580 land

00:36:05.100 or believing

00:36:06.000 in facts

00:36:06.680 every single

00:36:08.020 international

00:36:09.500 climate accord

00:36:10.300 has had

00:36:11.500 targets that

00:36:12.480 were never

00:36:12.800 met by

00:36:13.200 anybody

00:36:13.620 at what

00:36:14.480 point do

00:36:15.100 we say

00:36:15.700 this is not

00:36:17.440 going to

00:36:17.720 happen

00:36:18.080 why do we

00:36:19.320 adopt these

00:36:19.920 things

00:36:20.180 and it's not

00:36:20.560 just Canada

00:36:21.000 again it's

00:36:21.420 other countries

00:36:22.020 as well

00:36:22.460 agree to

00:36:23.320 these things

00:36:23.900 and then

00:36:24.280 never achieve

00:36:24.960 them

00:36:25.160 why don't

00:36:25.700 we do

00:36:26.000 something

00:36:26.360 real

00:36:26.800 that's

00:36:27.240 measurable

00:36:27.660 and actually

00:36:28.420 accomplished

00:36:29.100 instead of

00:36:29.860 these foolish

00:36:30.380 things that

00:36:30.920 aren't achievable

00:36:31.600 and yet

00:36:32.340 at least in

00:36:33.140 Canada

00:36:33.460 we're implementing

00:36:34.220 policies that

00:36:35.000 hurt people

00:36:35.680 supposedly in

00:36:37.000 the name of

00:36:37.500 things like

00:36:37.900 the Paris

00:36:38.300 accord

00:36:38.600 point three

00:36:39.260 we have to

00:36:39.800 get back to

00:36:40.220 work

00:36:40.400 we cannot

00:36:40.880 continue to

00:36:42.080 live with an

00:36:42.580 economic lockdown

00:36:43.380 are you worried

00:36:44.060 about a second

00:36:45.020 wave of lockdowns

00:36:46.260 in Canada

00:36:46.740 yeah very much

00:36:47.980 so very much

00:36:48.800 so and and

00:36:49.680 again we have

00:36:51.220 seen governments

00:36:52.020 spend tons of

00:36:53.880 our money that

00:36:54.520 is going to at

00:36:55.420 some point have

00:36:56.160 to be paid back

00:36:56.880 in the future

00:36:57.420 by future

00:36:57.980 generations

00:36:58.520 I mean this

00:36:59.100 is a horrendous

00:37:00.440 situation for I

00:37:01.600 mean I'm not

00:37:02.280 young anymore so

00:37:03.260 I won't probably

00:37:04.280 have to deal with

00:37:04.960 this very much

00:37:05.620 but our kids and

00:37:06.300 our grandkids and

00:37:07.100 on and on are

00:37:07.840 going to have to

00:37:08.360 deal with this

00:37:08.940 so yes

00:37:09.780 another lockdown

00:37:11.500 I think would

00:37:13.520 be inexcusable

00:37:15.800 and we're looking

00:37:16.360 at international

00:37:17.200 examples like

00:37:18.040 Sweden which

00:37:18.940 did certainly

00:37:20.000 did have some

00:37:20.640 relatively high

00:37:21.400 death rates

00:37:21.960 but they didn't

00:37:22.780 shut down their

00:37:23.380 economy and

00:37:24.340 now several

00:37:25.240 months later

00:37:25.900 we're seeing

00:37:26.700 that their

00:37:29.460 actual experience

00:37:31.000 with the pandemic

00:37:31.700 isn't that different

00:37:32.580 from other countries

00:37:33.520 but because they

00:37:34.620 didn't shut down

00:37:35.480 their economy

00:37:36.100 they didn't have

00:37:37.100 that horrendous

00:37:38.100 economic mess

00:37:39.620 to try to clean up

00:37:40.600 well not just

00:37:41.160 economic mess

00:37:41.840 when you shut down

00:37:42.700 the economy

00:37:43.640 you have other

00:37:44.360 illnesses that are

00:37:45.760 not treated

00:37:46.360 depression that's

00:37:47.260 created

00:37:47.520 point four

00:37:48.320 we have to reduce

00:37:49.040 the regulatory

00:37:49.540 burden on work

00:37:50.460 that's pretty clear

00:37:51.180 point five

00:37:52.000 Canada must ensure 0.66

00:37:53.420 that the critical

00:37:54.540 supply chain items

00:37:55.960 are manufactured

00:37:57.220 in Canada

00:37:57.920 what do you mean

00:37:58.440 by that

00:37:59.100 well that that

00:38:00.440 gets to the whole

00:38:01.660 personal protective

00:38:03.000 equipment and other

00:38:04.100 related matters

00:38:05.700 that we we saw

00:38:06.940 how vulnerable

00:38:08.020 Canada was 0.81

00:38:08.900 and we had of

00:38:09.760 course government

00:38:10.340 departments and

00:38:11.180 agencies that were

00:38:12.740 supposedly taking care

00:38:14.300 of this

00:38:14.800 and you remember

00:38:15.560 early on in the

00:38:16.320 pandemic Ezra

00:38:17.400 you remember

00:38:18.200 we had we had

00:38:19.440 chief health

00:38:20.660 officials in Ottawa

00:38:21.540 telling us

00:38:22.180 oh we dealt with SARS

00:38:23.560 so we're really ready

00:38:24.880 for this

00:38:25.300 of course it was

00:38:25.820 total baloney

00:38:26.680 we're not so

00:38:28.280 let's not put

00:38:28.980 ourselves in that

00:38:29.740 position again

00:38:30.500 is what that's all

00:38:31.240 about

00:38:31.480 and the sixth

00:38:32.300 point in your

00:38:32.800 plan is Canadians 0.67

00:38:33.640 should acknowledge

00:38:34.300 the contribution

00:38:35.080 of our resource

00:38:36.060 sector to our

00:38:37.320 Canadian economy

00:38:38.320 and celebrate it

00:38:39.580 I'm worried

00:38:40.620 because I heard

00:38:41.780 Christopher

00:38:42.700 Freeland talk

00:38:43.220 about decarbonizing

00:38:44.660 the economy

00:38:45.240 you can't have

00:38:46.960 any mining

00:38:49.240 oil and gas

00:38:50.280 petrochemicals

00:38:51.280 plastics

00:38:51.800 even forestry

00:38:55.000 is so many

00:38:56.500 even agriculture

00:38:57.800 are energy

00:38:58.920 intensive

00:38:59.580 I'm worried

00:39:00.860 that they're

00:39:02.380 going to go

00:39:02.680 for that virtue

00:39:03.240 signal globally

00:39:04.300 and kill 0.83

00:39:05.980 our key resource

00:39:07.040 industries

00:39:07.600 yeah

00:39:08.600 that's a lot

00:39:10.040 of people

00:39:10.360 are worried

00:39:10.700 about that

00:39:11.260 and I think

00:39:12.640 a lot of people

00:39:13.360 don't realize

00:39:14.360 in Canada

00:39:15.060 that aren't

00:39:15.920 that close

00:39:16.460 to it perhaps

00:39:17.220 how much

00:39:18.320 our economy

00:39:18.980 is heavily

00:39:19.600 dependent on

00:39:20.480 that

00:39:20.680 and frankly

00:39:21.440 we see other

00:39:22.000 countries around

00:39:22.580 the world

00:39:22.920 I love how

00:39:24.120 some of the

00:39:24.640 green acolytes

00:39:26.500 like to talk

00:39:28.040 about countries

00:39:28.640 like Norway

00:39:29.220 who are doing

00:39:30.060 some very good

00:39:30.720 things on the

00:39:31.280 social policy

00:39:31.980 front but are

00:39:32.820 exploiting their

00:39:33.860 oil resources

00:39:35.180 like nobody's

00:39:36.500 business

00:39:36.920 you know why

00:39:38.380 again why are we

00:39:39.560 in Canada

00:39:40.020 trying to punish

00:39:40.820 ourselves

00:39:41.420 our God-given

00:39:43.340 wealth that we

00:39:44.220 have of natural

00:39:45.280 resources in Canada

00:39:46.420 why are we not

00:39:48.040 sensibly using

00:39:50.140 that to our

00:39:51.020 advantage

00:39:51.540 and it blows

00:39:53.660 your mind

00:39:54.260 but I think

00:39:55.080 another point

00:39:55.800 too is that

00:39:56.360 some people

00:39:56.920 in various parts

00:39:57.720 of the country

00:39:58.220 think oh this

00:39:59.060 is Alberta's

00:39:59.680 problem

00:39:59.980 or maybe a

00:40:00.520 little bit

00:40:00.840 Saskatchewan's

00:40:01.560 problem

00:40:01.800 no it is

00:40:02.780 the whole

00:40:03.060 country's

00:40:03.680 problem

00:40:04.040 so many

00:40:04.840 manufacturers

00:40:05.620 and other

00:40:06.700 businesses

00:40:07.120 are heavily

00:40:07.880 dependent on

00:40:08.600 what happens

00:40:09.140 in our

00:40:09.420 resource sector

00:40:10.200 it affects

00:40:10.860 jobs in

00:40:11.340 Ontario

00:40:11.700 we saw

00:40:12.160 in Newfoundland

00:40:12.780 with that

00:40:13.160 Husky project

00:40:13.900 that recently

00:40:14.640 has been

00:40:16.460 postponed

00:40:17.080 and possibly

00:40:17.840 cancelled

00:40:18.360 Newfoundland

00:40:19.640 horribly affected

00:40:20.780 by what's

00:40:21.560 happening

00:40:21.920 in the

00:40:22.320 resource sector

00:40:23.020 in Canada

00:40:23.540 as well

00:40:23.940 so nobody

00:40:24.780 is exempt

00:40:25.460 here

00:40:25.800 and to

00:40:26.600 not take

00:40:27.880 advantage

00:40:28.300 in a sensible

00:40:29.260 way

00:40:29.760 of the wealth

00:40:30.720 that we have

00:40:31.120 been given

00:40:31.500 in resources

00:40:32.120 is pure

00:40:32.780 foolishness

00:40:33.460 and will

00:40:34.260 beggar

00:40:35.840 a lot

00:40:36.500 of Canada

00:40:36.980 well great

00:40:38.380 to talk

00:40:38.740 with you

00:40:38.960 today

00:40:39.140 Catherine

00:40:39.420 Swift

00:40:39.640 nice to

00:40:40.040 see you

00:40:40.280 again

00:40:40.420 thanks for

00:40:40.840 spending

00:40:41.080 so much

00:40:41.380 time

00:40:41.580 with us

00:40:41.980 my

00:40:42.660 pleasure

00:40:42.960 Ezra

00:40:43.240 all right

00:40:43.860 there you

00:40:44.220 have it

00:40:44.660 the website

00:40:45.580 if you

00:40:45.960 want to

00:40:46.240 look at

00:40:46.940 these six

00:40:47.600 points

00:40:47.980 and learn

00:40:48.740 more

00:40:49.080 is

00:40:49.720 responsiblerecovery.ca

00:40:52.300 stay with us

00:40:53.180 more ahead

00:40:53.780 hey welcome back

00:41:06.140 on my monologue

00:41:06.780 on Ruth Bader

00:41:07.940 Ginsburg

00:41:08.260 Stephen writes

00:41:09.000 Democrats don't

00:41:10.340 want a new

00:41:10.760 judge appointed

00:41:11.300 until after a new

00:41:12.020 president is elected

00:41:12.920 because they say

00:41:13.900 it was Ruth Bader

00:41:14.660 Ginsburg's

00:41:15.240 dying wish

00:41:15.920 the Republicans

00:41:17.120 want to appoint

00:41:17.720 one now

00:41:18.080 because it's

00:41:18.600 in their

00:41:18.840 constitution

00:41:19.340 and that's

00:41:20.080 how you

00:41:20.260 run a

00:41:20.520 country

00:41:20.960 yeah this

00:41:21.760 make a wish

00:41:22.800 foundation idea

00:41:23.740 that's not

00:41:24.540 how it works

00:41:25.280 I don't even

00:41:26.000 know if I

00:41:26.400 believe that

00:41:27.100 her last

00:41:27.920 wish was

00:41:28.820 really

00:41:29.300 I'm not

00:41:30.000 quite sure

00:41:30.400 if that's

00:41:30.740 true

00:41:30.960 Ruth Bader

00:41:31.520 Ginsburg

00:41:31.840 seemed to

00:41:32.240 be against

00:41:32.700 other kooky

00:41:33.440 ideas on the

00:41:34.100 far left

00:41:34.520 like packing

00:41:35.500 the court

00:41:35.980 as in adding

00:41:37.020 you know

00:41:37.300 four five six

00:41:38.140 new judges

00:41:38.840 all Democrats

00:41:39.900 I'm not sure

00:41:41.180 if she was

00:41:41.720 in this

00:41:42.300 unconstitutional

00:41:43.840 campaign that

00:41:45.320 the Democrats

00:41:45.780 are in

00:41:46.040 now

00:41:46.540 Gandor writes

00:41:48.480 the elephant

00:41:48.880 in the room

00:41:49.560 there is that

00:41:50.620 judges are

00:41:51.000 politically biased

00:41:51.860 the compass must

00:41:52.840 be the law

00:41:53.240 not political

00:41:53.780 opinion

00:41:54.120 well I think

00:41:55.380 our judges

00:41:55.840 up here in

00:41:56.380 Canada are

00:41:57.160 just as biased

00:41:58.100 even more so

00:41:59.060 they're political

00:42:00.240 just like they

00:42:01.220 are down there

00:42:01.900 they're just not

00:42:03.060 politically

00:42:03.520 accountable

00:42:04.520 we don't have

00:42:05.480 nomination hearings

00:42:06.360 in Canada

00:42:06.920 and it's almost

00:42:08.360 never that a

00:42:10.120 judge is withdrawn

00:42:11.080 after being

00:42:12.440 proposed

00:42:12.840 it happens in

00:42:13.520 the United States

00:42:14.020 all the time

00:42:14.820 the American

00:42:15.660 system is

00:42:16.280 atrocious

00:42:16.920 but if you

00:42:17.360 can believe

00:42:17.840 it

00:42:18.100 ours is worse

00:42:19.980 that's our

00:42:21.420 show for today

00:42:22.000 until tomorrow

00:42:23.360 on behalf of

00:42:24.020 all of us here

00:42:24.540 at Rebel World

00:42:25.080 Headquarters

00:42:25.520 good night

00:42:25.940 and keep
