Rebel News Podcast - LEVANT： CBC declares war on parents worried about kids being taught transgenderism ｜ GUEST： Premier Brian Peckford

00:00:00.440 Tonight, the CBC investigates parents worried about their kids being taught transgenderism

00:00:07.000 in school.

00:00:08.000 It's October 21st and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:11.000 You're fighting for freedom!

00:00:14.000 Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:00:26.000 Well, hello again.

00:00:27.000 I'm in frosty Edmonton.

00:00:29.000 You can feel the winters around the corner.

00:00:31.000 As I told you yesterday, I'm here for the United Conservative Party's annual general meeting

00:00:36.000 that starts tonight.

00:00:37.000 Very interesting times.

00:00:38.000 A new premier, Danielle Smith.

00:00:40.000 And can she hold on to her party and can she resist the attacks on her from the usual suspects?

00:00:46.000 And by that I mean the media party.

00:00:48.000 But I saw something, speaking of the media party, in the CBC that caught my eye.

00:00:52.000 I mean, let me just stop and ask you, if you had nearly 10,000 staff working at your news agency

00:00:59.000 and a budget of over a billion and a half dollars, what would you shine a light of scrutiny on?

00:01:03.000 I mean, that's really the job of the media is to shine the light into dark places and see what's going on.

00:01:08.000 Well, look at this headline I saw on the CBC.

00:01:12.000 CBC Investigates.

00:01:13.000 It's even above the headline.

00:01:15.000 So this is their crack investigative squad.

00:01:18.000 Now, they're not speaking truth to power.

00:01:20.000 They're not investigating Justin Trudeau or, for example, who got all that Arrive Can app money.

00:01:27.000 They're not doing that.

00:01:28.000 They're not speaking truth to power.

00:01:29.000 They're speaking power to truth.

00:01:31.000 Look at that headline.

00:01:32.000 Scores of anti-trans candidates running in Ontario school board elections.

00:01:39.000 And then under that they say, with support from several conservative groups.

00:01:43.000 Oh, they're the worst.

00:01:44.000 Some candidates are vowing to end inclusive sex education.

00:01:50.000 Now, we're not even into this story yet.

00:01:52.000 And do you see the spin and even the lies?

00:01:55.000 Are they really anti-trans candidates?

00:01:58.000 Are they really?

00:01:59.000 Are these people who say, I hate trans people.

00:02:01.000 I don't like.

00:02:02.000 Or are they people who say, you know what?

00:02:03.000 My child is in grade one.

00:02:05.000 My child is six.

00:02:06.000 We don't need to teach my child the six genders. 1.00

00:02:10.000 Which, by the way, is the law right now in Ontario.

00:02:13.000 Are you anti-trans if you say, hey, how about lay off the kids?

00:02:17.000 How about don't talk about sexuality, heterosexuality or homosexuality or any kind of sexuality?

00:02:22.000 They are children.

00:02:23.000 Are you an anti-trans person?

00:02:26.000 And in that line, inclusive sex ed.

00:02:29.000 Why are you talking about those subjects to children of tender years?

00:02:34.000 Anyways, I just got to read for you one more.

00:02:37.000 We're not even in the story yet.

00:02:38.000 Look at the caption on that photo.

00:02:40.000 An investigation by CBC News found that at least 20 candidates for trustee positions in Ontario had either used discriminatory terms in interviews, align themselves with transphobic lobby groups, or use their social media accounts to amplify transphobic content.

00:03:00.000 What on earth does any of that even mean?

00:03:03.000 But I love that they call this an investigation.

00:03:05.000 Like they staked things out.

00:03:07.000 They had wiretaps or something.

00:03:09.000 They had hidden cameras.

00:03:10.000 No, they just Googled and went to Facebook pages and anything that they thought was mean.

00:03:15.000 They called it an investigation.

00:03:17.000 This is what your tax dollars are working on.

00:03:19.000 And by the way, this took more than one reporter to write.

00:03:21.000 It's quite something.

00:03:22.000 You know, we could use some investigation into sex ed in schools.

00:03:28.000 There really isn't any investigation done on that in Canada.

00:03:31.000 Until this shocking, and I don't even know if it's a joke, I don't think it's a joke, this case of a shop teacher in Ontario wearing enormous prosthetic breasts.

00:03:45.000 I think the CBC could do some investigation into who is this person?

00:03:49.000 How is this allowed?

00:03:51.000 Were complaints covered up?

00:03:52.000 I'm talking about the real scandal in Ontario schools.

00:03:56.000 This isn't even in sex ed.

00:03:57.000 This is in shop class.

00:03:58.000 Look at this.

00:03:59.000 David Menzies for Rebel News here in Oakville, Ontario.

00:04:03.000 And folks, I'm here at Oakville Trafalgar High School.

00:04:08.000 And you know, in most schools, when it's drag queen story time, that's typically a one-day event for a few hours.

00:04:17.000 But here at Oakville Trafalgar High School, drag queen story time is any time Mr. Lemieux, a.k.a. Miss Kayla Lemieux, is teaching shop class.

00:04:31.000 You see, Mr. Lemieux is allegedly transitioning into a female, but that's not really news these days.

00:04:40.000 What is news is the fact that his fake prosthetic breasts are so humongous, literally twice the size of a man's head and weighing about 35 pounds.

00:04:52.000 As well, his nipples are always protruding, and he wears see-through blouses. 0.53

00:05:00.000 So really, what is going on here?

00:05:03.000 Is this really someone who is transitioning into a female?

00:05:07.000 Or perhaps is Mr. Lemieux playing some kind of prank for whatever reason?

00:05:13.000 Is he maybe deliberately trying to get fired so he can file a wrongful dismissal claim?

00:05:19.000 Or dare I say it, is Mr. Lemieux suffering from mental illness?

00:05:25.000 And if he is, he should be treated immediately.

00:05:28.000 Yeah, we could use some actual investigations of what's going on in the schools, not parents who are concerned about them.

00:05:34.000 You know, in the United States, a lot of these transgender-oriented teachers go on TikTok or Twitter and brag about what they are doing in schools.

00:05:44.000 So here's my tip to the CBC. You don't need 10,000 staff and a billion and a half dollars.

00:05:49.000 You don't even need two staff, like we're working on this story.

00:05:52.000 You can just follow the Twitter account called Libs of TikTok.

00:05:55.000 And that's just one lady in New York City who searches what these teachers post themselves and puts them on TV and puts them on the Internet. 0.70

00:06:03.000 Here, take a look at some of these statements by teachers in the U.S.

00:06:07.000 Do you doubt for a second that the same thing is happening here in Canada?

00:06:11.000 I think the CBC should investigate.

00:06:13.000 Here, take a look at Libs of TikTok. 0.98

00:06:15.000 Last week, I brought Pride Flags to school to pass out to students.

00:06:19.000 And we've got the whole gang here.

00:06:24.000 And I know they're from Amazon, but we're balling on a budget.

00:06:27.000 And it's so funny the way students walk into the room because if they know me, they'll walk in and just be like, hey, miss, can I get a flag?

00:06:35.000 But then there's students who don't know me or are in a different school because there's two different schools in our building.

00:06:41.000 And we'll like walk in the classroom and be like, is this where I get the flags?

00:06:48.000 And it's so precious.

00:06:50.000 But now every day it looks like a Pride Frade in our hallways.

00:06:54.000 And it's just the best.

00:06:56.000 If you walk into the library and you see a display that's so beautiful and so enticing with books that you want to take home and read, we have them on display because we want you to borrow them.

00:07:16.000 This is not a museum, people.

00:07:18.000 Borrow a book.

00:07:20.000 A lot of the teachers and staff in my school district wear these badges so that students who are questioning whether or not they're accepted will know that they are.

00:07:31.000 The student from last year and I would coordinate our pronoun shirt.

00:07:37.000 Same student came up to me on Friday to say hi.

00:07:40.000 I noticed that one of my new students had a pronoun shirt too.

00:07:43.000 We decided to coordinate today.

00:07:45.000 A transgender student insisted that they send me an email to remind me to wear my pronoun shirt.

00:07:50.000 We're up to three.

00:07:51.000 That's the goal for by the end of the year.

00:07:53.000 All right.

00:07:54.000 Finally, I'll get into the story.

00:07:55.000 But I think you know where this is going.

00:07:57.000 Let me read.

00:07:58.000 In school board elections across Ontario this Monday, dozens of candidates are running on promises to roll back protections for transgender students.

00:08:07.000 Part of a concerted effort by conservative lobby groups to undo policies aimed at addressing systemic discrimination.

00:08:14.000 Is that really what they're saying?

00:08:16.000 Do they want to undo protections for anybody?

00:08:19.000 You know, I actually read this entire enormous article.

00:08:22.000 It felt like it never ended.

00:08:24.000 And never once did they actually show transphobic, anti-trans activism.

00:08:30.000 There was never any hate.

00:08:32.000 There was never any attacks.

00:08:33.000 There was never anyone saying we're going to end protections for people.

00:08:37.000 That is all the projection of the fevered mind of the CBC.

00:08:42.000 This is called CBC Investigates.

00:08:44.000 It's more like CBC emotes.

00:08:46.000 These are their own emotions.

00:08:49.000 Do you actually think in this story you will find a single candidate who is quoted, who the CBC investigated and found that they want to end protections for anyone?

00:09:00.000 I'll save you the time until the answer is no.

00:09:03.000 Let me read some more.

00:09:05.000 The normally sleepy contest for trustee positions have been highly charged this year with faith-based groups, political parties, and self-styled anti-woke organizations involved to an unprecedented degree, including providing endorsements.

00:09:19.000 Oh, those are the worst.

00:09:21.000 Mobilizing volunteers.

00:09:22.000 Oh, they're the worst.

00:09:24.000 And providing candidates training from U.S. political operatives.

00:09:27.000 Hey, have you ever seen the CBC investigate U.S. or foreign political operatives when they're assisting Justin Trudeau, when they're organizing and funding anti-pipeline or anti-oil movements?

00:09:39.000 I have not seen that.

00:09:40.000 The CBC is suddenly interested in it.

00:09:42.000 I should tell you the CBC demonizes Christian groups, and indeed there are some Christian candidates. 0.99

00:09:47.000 But I should tell you that Christian candidates may be easy pickings for the CBC, but a lot of the opponents of extreme transgenderism sex ed in schools, they're not Christian.

00:09:57.000 They're not white.

00:09:58.000 They're newcomers to Canada. 0.99

00:09:59.000 Many of them are Muslim, in fact.

00:10:01.000 Let me show you a recent meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, which is a very Muslim community.

00:10:06.000 They are appalled by the extreme sex ed there.

00:10:09.000 It's a little bit tough to call a room full of Muslim parents Christian bigot right-wing white people.

00:10:16.000 Here, just take a look at this from Dearborn just the other day.

00:10:18.000 I just want to thank everybody for coming out.

00:10:21.000 My name is Hassan Shami.

00:10:23.000 I'm nothing but a concerned parent in Dearborn, Michigan.

00:10:26.000 Guys, we want to make something clear, okay?

00:10:30.000 We want to leave the politics out of this.

00:10:33.000 If you're on Facebook, all you see is fear-mongering political rhetoric that this is book banning, censorship, homophobic.

00:10:42.000 All it is is protecting our children.

00:10:44.000 We, we as concerned parents, we as concerned parents in Dearborn are not tied to the left, to the right when it comes to this issue.

00:10:53.000 And we're not going to be used as pawns for any organization for their own agenda.

00:10:58.000 We're here to protect our children.

00:11:03.000 Do not fall for the political rhetoric on Facebook, on Instagram.

00:11:08.000 Do not fall for the trap because that's what they want.

00:11:10.000 They're trying to smear us.

00:11:11.000 They're trying to control the narrative.

00:11:13.000 They're trying to say this is homophobic.

00:11:15.000 Listen, there's a, there's a book.

00:11:17.000 There's a book that was banned.

00:11:18.000 And what's called this book is gay. 0.58

00:11:20.000 And I tell you, if the book was called this book is straight, we're still going to go after it.

00:11:24.000 Because it's teaching kids.

00:11:25.000 It's teaching kids how to go online and have sexual intercourse with others on the internet. 0.65

00:11:31.000 This is wrong.

00:11:32.000 You're not supposed to get this sexually explicit material.

00:11:36.000 There's a, there's a poster right here to my right.

00:11:41.000 There's a poster right here to my right that I had them cover up.

00:11:45.000 I, as an adult and 33 year old adult told them cover it up because I'm embarrassed to look at this.

00:11:50.000 You think I want a 13 year old to look at it?

00:11:52.000 This is ridiculous.

00:11:53.000 Any semi decent human being homosexual or heterosexual knows when they look in the mirror that kids should not be exposed to this.

00:12:02.000 Stop trying to control the rhetoric.

00:12:03.000 Stop trying to make it as you guys are the victims because this has nothing to do with it.

00:12:08.000 We as parents who are raising our children are responsible for our children.

00:12:12.000 Our schools will not indoctrinate our children.

00:12:15.000 The progressive dogma from the top down that has public schools in a total will not indoctrinate our children.

00:12:22.000 People tell me.

00:12:23.000 People tell me.

00:12:24.000 Don't go up and sneak.

00:12:25.000 They're going to ban your business.

00:12:26.000 They're going to protest your businesses.

00:12:27.000 You're going to get fired from your job.

00:12:28.000 I got three children.

00:12:29.000 My purpose in this world is to protect my kids and that's all I want to do.

00:12:33.000 Vote them out! 0.98

00:12:35.000 Vote them out! 0.98

00:12:36.000 Vote them out! 0.98

00:12:38.000 Vote them out! 0.98

00:12:40.000 VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! Yeah, the CBC never mentions Muslims here. They're not allowed to. So they pick on Christians. I should tell you that it's actually the Muslim parents who are the most attentive to their kids.

00:13:06.300 For weeks, some candidates in Ottawa, Waterloo, Hamilton, among other places in Ontario, have been using transphobic rhetoric in public, portraying gender-inclusive sex education as an attempt to indoctrinate their children.

00:13:20.420 Again, they don't quote any of these insults that allegedly happen, but they actually don't refute the claims by these parents, because the sex ed curriculum is extreme.

00:13:32.880 By the way, I mean, you and me are grown-ups, and we've been around a little bit.

00:13:37.840 Can you name the six genders that Ontario officially teaches?

00:13:42.620 By the way, gay is not a gender.

00:13:44.840 Can you name the six genders?

00:13:46.500 Well, if you can't, then you're not as smart as a grade six-year-old kid in Ontario who's taught it.

00:13:52.920 Let me quote a little bit from the story.

00:13:54.400 For example, Mark Paralovos, a trustee candidate in Guelph, Ontario, has repeatedly taken to social media to deny the existence of trans and non-binary genders.

00:14:05.280 There are men. There are women. That's it, he tweeted earlier this month.

00:14:09.000 Oh, my God. I am so glad the CBC put their crack investigative unit on this man.

00:14:15.080 We have found the trouble.

00:14:16.720 Someone who says there's men and women.

00:14:18.360 I think we should probably censor all books that say the opposite, and that would be starting with the Bible, I'm guessing.

00:14:24.840 The Koran would probably be next. 1.00

00:14:27.740 Another candidate, Shannon Boshi, said Ontario's sex ed curriculum was partly to blame for the rise in transgender and non-binary identifying students.

00:14:35.780 Well, that's obviously true.

00:14:37.460 And don't take it from me, a right-winger.

00:14:39.380 Here's Bill Maher, the essential American Hollywood liberal, pointing out the obvious.

00:14:44.740 Remember this?

00:14:45.340 And this is a phenomenon we need to take into account when we look at this issue.

00:14:50.400 Yes, part of the rise in LGBT numbers is from people feeling free enough to tell it to a pollster, and that's all to the good. 0.97

00:14:58.780 But some of it is, it's trendy.

00:15:02.520 Penis equals man? 0.99

00:15:04.040 Okay, boomer. 1.00

00:15:07.820 Remember, the prime directive of every teen is anything to shock and challenge the squares who brought you up.

00:15:14.260 It's why nobody gets a nose ring at 56.

00:15:24.540 And if you haven't noticed that with kids, doing something for the likes is more important than their own genitals, you haven't been paying attention.

00:15:32.100 Dr. Erica Anderson is a prominent 71-year-old clinical psychologist who is herself transgender and who now says, I think it's gone too far.

00:15:42.560 The L.A. Times summarizes, she's come to believe that some children identifying as trans are falling under the influence of their peers and social media.

00:15:52.080 If you attend a small dinner party of typically very liberal, upper-income Angelenos, it is not uncommon to hear parents who each have a trans kid having a conversation about that.

00:16:05.060 What are the odds of that happening in Youngstown, Ohio?

00:16:08.160 If this spike in trans children is all natural, why is it regional? 0.99

00:16:14.920 Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them.

00:16:18.380 It's like that day we suddenly all needed bottled water all the time.

00:16:31.440 If we can't admit that in certain enclaves there is some level of trendiness to the idea of being anything other than straight, then this is not a serious science-based discussion.

00:16:42.800 It's a blow being struck in the culture wars using children as cannon fodder.

00:16:47.340 The CBC is really engaging not in journalism but in cancel culture.

00:16:52.560 They're trying to name and shame these candidates.

00:16:54.440 I think it's going to have the opposite effect, actually.

00:16:56.760 I think a lot of people are going to read this and say, oh, now I know who to vote for.

00:17:01.720 Now I know who the sane people are.

00:17:03.980 I think this is actually going to backfire on the CBC.

00:17:07.240 They quote one candidate who says, who, they say, compared non-binary genders to a disorder.

00:17:15.400 Well, you know, I'm old enough to know that it was just a few years ago that the psychiatric community, they have this, it's called the DSM.

00:17:25.500 It's a book of actual maladies.

00:17:27.840 It lists every syndrome and disease out there.

00:17:31.020 And gender dysphoria was what they called transgenderism until about five minutes ago.

00:17:36.420 And like these candidates, I'm not proposing that anyone be mean to anyone.

00:17:43.020 But to try to cancel and name and shame parents for saying what was universally accepted as medical science a decade ago shows how extreme the CBC itself is.

00:17:55.640 This is what they call an investigation, the speaking power to truth.

00:17:58.780 This is my favorite line in the whole thing.

00:18:02.800 CBC News contacted nearly a dozen candidates in the rest of the province to better understand what policies they intended to implement or repeal.

00:18:11.080 None agreed to be interviewed for broadcast, nor were they willing to elaborate via email.

00:18:16.080 You know what?

00:18:16.580 I'm so proud of those candidates for treating the CBC like they are.

00:18:20.700 A bunch of wackadoodles, as my friend Sheila Gunn-Reed would say.

00:18:23.780 These are people who are so extreme, and they're not journalists at all.

00:18:26.780 They're activists.

00:18:27.940 And you can never treat a CBC reporter as having good faith.

00:18:32.520 You have to assume they're operating in bad faith on an agenda for their boss.

00:18:36.580 I'm not saying there are no good people at the CBC.

00:18:39.020 I've actually met a few.

00:18:40.400 I mean, when you have nearly 10,000 people on your staff, you're going to have some good apples.

00:18:44.840 But this was not journalism.

00:18:47.820 This was a hit piece, an attempt at cancel culture.

00:18:50.600 And kudos to those candidates for not taking the bait and talking to these hacks.

00:18:57.260 One candidate, Jeanette Lee, who was running on an anti-woke platform in Hanover, Ontario, said when reached by phone, she didn't feel, quote, confident talking about her platform.

00:19:07.480 Now, is that really what she said?

00:19:09.240 Because that's the only word they have in quotes, confident.

00:19:12.720 Do you think there's just a teeny tiny chance that that's not what Jeanette said?

00:19:17.220 And that that was just an attempt to embarrass her.

00:19:19.180 Look, this is not a huge or important story.

00:19:23.180 I don't think a lot of people are going to act on this story.

00:19:27.600 I mean, if I lived in one of these communities, I would try and remember who these anti-woke candidates are.

00:19:32.700 The CBC tries to make anti-woke into a bad thing.

00:19:35.660 I don't think it's working.

00:19:38.080 But I think it's a glance behind the scenes into the mind of the CBC.

00:19:42.900 You know, sometimes you walk by a picket fence and every single picket is there, every single plank is there, but then one plank is missing.

00:19:50.700 And just for a second, you glance in and you see what's behind that fence.

00:19:54.640 You see what's in the yard or what's in the park.

00:19:57.500 Just with one plank of wood missing, you just saw into a world that you didn't know before.

00:20:03.700 I think this story is like a picket fence, is like a fence with one plank missing, and we can see into the mind of the CBC.

00:20:11.200 What did we learn about in this story?

00:20:12.760 We didn't actually learn that much about these candidates.

00:20:15.380 I don't know if there's a lot of them.

00:20:17.080 I don't know if this is just the first time the CBC paid attention to them.

00:20:20.460 We didn't learn about the Muslim or other newcomer candidates or parents.

00:20:24.720 We didn't learn anything about that.

00:20:25.880 I don't think we learned a lot about the world from this story, but we learned a lot about the CBC.

00:20:32.760 They're not journalists.

00:20:34.180 They're attack dogs for the woke left.

00:20:36.640 They quote the so-called anti-hate network that got a quarter of a million dollars from Trudeau to attack his political enemies.

00:20:43.480 Anyone who quotes them is in league with Trudeau.

00:20:46.560 This is the state broadcaster, and it's acting like him.

00:20:49.080 We now know what the CBC is going to do in the next federal election when it's Trudeau versus Pierre Polyev.

00:20:56.360 They're not going to do journalism.

00:20:57.520 They're not going to investigate power.

00:20:59.720 They didn't break the news about the Arrive Can app being $54 million in payments to people who say,

00:21:05.420 I didn't get that money.

00:21:06.240 Did you see that story in the Globe and Mail?

00:21:08.120 One company that was listed as having received more than a million dollars for the app,

00:21:12.880 their CEO said, what are you talking about?

00:21:14.400 We have no business here.

00:21:15.380 We've taken no money for the app.

00:21:16.520 It's made up.

00:21:17.060 That would be something I would investigate if I had 10,000 staff and a billion and a half dollars.

00:21:22.660 But the CBC is busy investigating parents who don't like transgenderism taught to grade schoolers.

00:21:28.700 What we have learned is what is going on with the CBC,

00:21:31.120 and that is why it is so essential that if Pierre Polyev wins and becomes prime minister,

00:21:35.420 he must absolutely pull the weed out by its roots.

00:21:39.180 Stephen Harper did many good things as prime minister,

00:21:42.200 but I say it is one of his greatest failures that he did not defund, privatize,

00:21:47.920 or frankly tear down brick by brick the propaganda machine,

00:21:52.480 the ministry of truth that is the CBC.

00:21:55.820 Stay with us.

00:21:56.620 More ahead.

00:21:57.020 Well, one of the most important lawsuits that has come out during the pandemic and the lockdowns,

00:22:16.540 it was important.

00:22:18.060 It was carefully crafted.

00:22:19.440 It had outstanding facts and arguments.

00:22:21.740 It was a core use of our chart of rights and freedoms.

00:22:25.880 It was the challenge to the no-fly list, the unvaccinated punishments that Justin Trudeau,

00:22:32.820 Omar El-Gabra, and others inflicted upon millions of Canadians.

00:22:36.180 The reason why it was such an important lawsuit is because I think it genuinely had the greatest likelihood of success,

00:22:45.160 given how egregious the violations on personal mobility were,

00:22:49.180 how unscientific it was,

00:22:51.400 and frankly, the quality of the lawyers, the legal drafting,

00:22:56.420 and indeed the plaintiffs themselves.

00:22:59.120 No one less than Brian Peckford,

00:23:01.100 the former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador,

00:23:03.980 the last surviving premier who negotiated and signed the Charter of Rights itself,

00:23:09.640 was one of the plaintiffs,

00:23:11.700 and others like Maxime Bernier and people of different walks of life.

00:23:15.780 The lawsuit, which you can find on our website underneath this video,

00:23:19.720 is compelling reading,

00:23:21.520 not just for lawyers,

00:23:22.680 but it's a work of history and politics and law,

00:23:25.740 and it was so important that this case go to court,

00:23:30.040 and yet yesterday it was thrown out,

00:23:32.360 not on substantive reasons,

00:23:34.260 but because the court says,

00:23:35.980 no, we don't need to talk about it,

00:23:38.500 it's not relevant anymore.

00:23:40.720 At least that's my one-line summary of it.

00:23:42.520 Joining us now via Skype from beautiful British Columbia

00:23:46.560 is the aforementioned premier Brian Peckford.

00:23:50.020 Yes, I think you did actually sum it up.

00:23:52.480 It's very puzzling to my lawyers and I

00:23:56.220 that this would be considered moot,

00:23:59.740 given that the travel bans in question

00:24:03.000 were suspended, not cancelled,

00:24:07.080 and that the public interest is so high in this case

00:24:11.460 because it affected 5 to 6 million Canadians,

00:24:15.840 and we don't know when and if it will affect these Canadians again.

00:24:20.800 So we thought that the public interest here

00:24:24.260 would far outweigh any technical legal issue like mootness.

00:24:30.440 We really don't have to talk about this now.

00:24:33.520 Meanwhile, a whole bunch of people were violated,

00:24:37.220 their rights were violated,

00:24:38.840 they weren't allowed to travel,

00:24:40.220 they weren't allowed to visit loved ones

00:24:42.760 who were dying in a hospital in another part of the country,

00:24:46.360 and they weren't allowed to travel for their business,

00:24:48.920 and so on.

00:24:50.240 So it's a, you know,

00:24:51.440 it's a brutal violation of the rights

00:24:55.920 and freedoms described in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:25:01.660 Well, not just that,

00:25:03.180 but so much work had been done already.

00:25:08.160 The statement of claim,

00:25:10.000 the statement of defense,

00:25:11.620 examinations of expert witnesses,

00:25:13.840 more than a dozen government experts,

00:25:16.920 government officials, bureaucrats,

00:25:19.020 very senior people testified under oath

00:25:22.060 about how this law was crafted,

00:25:24.820 and some of the revelations

00:25:26.260 that we learned from lawyer Keith Wilson were stunning.

00:25:30.680 The fact that that was all stopped from having a hearing,

00:25:34.100 I mean, hundreds,

00:25:35.420 probably a thousand hours worth of work

00:25:38.440 has gone into this lawsuit anyways.

00:25:40.340 It was the government that delayed it.

00:25:43.500 And now for the government to say,

00:25:44.700 oh, too bad, so sad.

00:25:47.160 I know you were ready for trial,

00:25:49.340 and we really, really wanted to have a trial on it,

00:25:52.140 but sorry, guys,

00:25:53.460 it's no longer relevant.

00:25:54.800 After devastating millions of lives for a year,

00:25:58.460 it seems to me that the court simply was shirking

00:26:01.260 its duty.

00:26:03.360 It did not want to get its hands into it

00:26:07.040 because it didn't want to be offside from the government.

00:26:09.060 And so far,

00:26:09.800 I can't think of a single court in this country,

00:26:12.620 Premier,

00:26:13.220 that has rolled back any substantive provision

00:26:16.460 of the lockdowns.

00:26:17.360 Two years of brutal lockdowns,

00:26:18.980 and the Charter of Rights has protected us

00:26:20.840 from precisely nothing.

00:26:23.260 I couldn't agree more.

00:26:25.200 And the outpouring of negativity

00:26:27.960 towards the decision,

00:26:30.080 in my own case since last night,

00:26:32.520 just, you know,

00:26:33.420 whenever it came down last night

00:26:34.740 when my lawyer called me,

00:26:35.880 and when I posted on my blog

00:26:37.400 that the judge had ruled against us,

00:26:40.160 within a few hours,

00:26:41.300 over 7,000 Canadians

00:26:43.100 have taken it upon themselves

00:26:45.280 to write me about this already.

00:26:47.640 And before the day is out,

00:26:48.600 there'll be well over 10,000 Canadians.

00:26:51.600 Very angry,

00:26:52.800 very angry,

00:26:53.500 because they see this as a legal technicality

00:26:57.020 denying justice.

00:26:59.960 And I think they're absolutely right here.

00:27:02.220 What the judges and what the courts are doing

00:27:04.880 is finding legal technicalities.

00:27:07.940 And you, being a lawyer,

00:27:10.340 practically, you know, as a lawyer,

00:27:13.260 would understand this.

00:27:15.060 You know, there's legal technicalities,

00:27:17.280 and then there's justice.

00:27:18.240 And I thought at the end of the day

00:27:19.960 that at least the superior courts of this land

00:27:23.240 would understand the justice part

00:27:27.100 more than trying to find legal avenues

00:27:29.820 by which to deny this going ahead.

00:27:33.340 The other thing is,

00:27:34.440 which is really important,

00:27:35.860 that my lawyers and I thought for sure

00:27:37.600 under the process

00:27:39.020 which we established with the court,

00:27:41.440 an expedited process,

00:27:43.420 the Government of Canada,

00:27:45.520 the Department of Justice,

00:27:46.380 had the opportunity,

00:27:47.640 and we thought they'd really take advantage of this

00:27:49.580 because they were so sure

00:27:51.860 of their case in the court,

00:27:53.340 to cross-examine me

00:27:54.520 if the case went ahead.

00:27:57.280 And before the mootless argument

00:27:58.960 came up,

00:28:00.520 our lawyers said

00:28:01.760 to the Department of Justice lawyers,

00:28:03.620 of course,

00:28:04.040 you're going to cross-examine

00:28:06.100 Mr. Peckford

00:28:07.760 and put him on the stand.

00:28:09.100 No, no, we're going to waive that opportunity.

00:28:11.600 So at every point

00:28:15.320 where they could delay,

00:28:18.520 where they could not interview

00:28:21.220 one of the people like myself

00:28:24.440 to cross-examine them,

00:28:26.460 demonstrates that this government

00:28:28.060 was going to use whatever means

00:28:30.400 through the Department of Justice

00:28:31.560 to ensure that this case

00:28:33.520 was not heard

00:28:34.660 in the normal course of events.

00:28:36.840 A lawyer wrote me this morning,

00:28:38.520 he'll be interested in this,

00:28:39.420 and said,

00:28:40.080 I wonder what would have happened

00:28:41.540 if the judge ruled

00:28:44.160 that the residential schools issue

00:28:46.600 is not a live issue anymore

00:28:48.400 because there are no more

00:28:49.340 residential schools

00:28:50.340 and therefore

00:28:50.840 we don't have to decide on this.

00:28:53.160 There would be revolutions

00:28:54.200 and there would be protests

00:28:56.880 in the streets.

00:28:58.620 But in like manner,

00:29:00.140 here we have

00:29:00.740 five or six million Canadians

00:29:02.240 who are denied

00:29:03.380 for several months

00:29:04.740 their rights and freedoms

00:29:06.240 under a constitution,

00:29:08.760 under our charter.

00:29:10.580 And yet,

00:29:11.520 they can do this

00:29:12.860 and get away with it.

00:29:15.120 That's such a great analogy

00:29:16.840 about mootness

00:29:19.080 and Justin Trudeau

00:29:20.660 never hesitates

00:29:21.960 to dig up old problems

00:29:23.580 from decades or centuries ago

00:29:25.020 to apologize for.

00:29:26.400 He's just not as good

00:29:27.320 at taking accountability

00:29:29.340 for his own rash decisions.

00:29:31.620 One of the most interesting things

00:29:33.380 we've learned

00:29:34.220 even in recent weeks

00:29:35.320 is that the vaccines

00:29:36.860 were never tested

00:29:38.080 to block transmission.

00:29:41.340 So the whole concept

00:29:43.100 of banning

00:29:43.800 an unvaccinated person

00:29:44.960 from an airplane

00:29:45.820 is that was moot,

00:29:48.660 so to speak.

00:29:49.280 Because if the vaccine

00:29:50.960 only protected yourself

00:29:52.780 and we can debate

00:29:53.480 whether or not

00:29:53.960 that was true

00:29:54.580 and if Pfizer is now admitting,

00:29:56.420 no, no,

00:29:56.800 we never said

00:29:57.800 that it stopped transmission.

00:29:59.620 In fact,

00:29:59.900 they did absolutely say that.

00:30:02.080 There was no rationale

00:30:03.240 for keeping people

00:30:04.140 off a plane

00:30:04.800 other than political vengeance.

00:30:07.460 And that is why

00:30:08.640 none of the establishment

00:30:10.500 wants to have

00:30:11.340 a full hearing of this.

00:30:12.400 Exactly.

00:30:13.760 And their whole case

00:30:16.620 crumbles

00:30:17.780 on that scientific basis.

00:30:21.380 And also,

00:30:22.020 the chief epidemiologist

00:30:23.340 for the public health agency

00:30:25.620 under oath

00:30:27.080 said they did not recommend

00:30:29.040 to the government

00:30:30.760 that they bring in

00:30:31.860 these travel mandates.

00:30:33.160 The top people

00:30:34.020 in the Department of Transport

00:30:35.540 through which the court case

00:30:38.160 was started in the beginning

00:30:39.780 testified on their oath

00:30:41.440 that they did not recommend

00:30:42.760 to bring in

00:30:43.800 this travel mandate.

00:30:45.540 So their whole case

00:30:46.940 has crumbled.

00:30:47.660 And I guess you're right

00:30:48.700 that because it had crumbled

00:30:50.580 on its scientific merit

00:30:52.840 and because there was

00:30:54.220 very little to argue

00:30:56.760 on the constitutional side

00:30:58.620 of things,

00:30:59.140 because it's clear

00:31:00.020 in Section 7 of the Act,

00:31:03.040 Section 6 of the Act

00:31:04.520 of the Charter,

00:31:06.780 that they had to therefore

00:31:08.260 devise means and ways

00:31:10.080 to ensure that this

00:31:11.460 didn't go forward

00:31:12.260 because they would lose.

00:31:15.140 You know,

00:31:15.780 a lot of institutions

00:31:16.980 failed us

00:31:17.940 in the last two years.

00:31:19.860 Our democracy depends

00:31:20.920 on checks and balances.

00:31:22.260 I mean,

00:31:22.400 I'll list a few of them.

00:31:24.120 The official opposition

00:31:25.340 did not oppose.

00:31:27.380 None of the official

00:31:28.320 oppositions in any province

00:31:29.920 or territory

00:31:30.440 opposed in any meaningful way.

00:31:32.460 The media turned

00:31:33.540 into propagandists,

00:31:34.660 not skeptics

00:31:35.540 asking curious questions.

00:31:37.020 The colleges of physicians

00:31:38.840 and surgeons

00:31:39.640 prosecuted doctors

00:31:41.160 who dared to have

00:31:41.760 a second opinion.

00:31:43.500 Police departments

00:31:44.280 became bully enforcers

00:31:46.280 of bizarre rules.

00:31:48.020 But the courts,

00:31:49.180 Premier,

00:31:49.540 the courts,

00:31:50.440 I think,

00:31:51.120 fell down hardest of all.

00:31:53.120 When I went to law school,

00:31:54.460 the Charter of Rights

00:31:55.280 was held up

00:31:55.880 as a sacred document

00:31:57.640 second only to the Bible 0.85

00:31:58.980 for its holiness

00:31:59.740 and its centrality

00:32:01.560 to our Canadian character.

00:32:03.800 And yet,

00:32:04.480 here is,

00:32:05.100 it was the associate

00:32:06.240 chief judge

00:32:07.220 of the federal court,

00:32:08.400 is that right?

00:32:09.280 Who said,

00:32:09.820 no, no,

00:32:10.500 not important.

00:32:11.620 There's no public interest here.

00:32:13.140 No, that's moot.

00:32:14.000 It ended a few weeks ago,

00:32:15.320 so no need to have

00:32:16.740 a hearing on it.

00:32:18.000 And I note that

00:32:18.760 our Supreme Court of Canada

00:32:19.780 has not ruled

00:32:20.640 on a single lockdown matter.

00:32:22.420 I guess they're on vacation.

00:32:23.500 They had other things to do

00:32:24.560 these past two years.

00:32:26.340 I think the courts

00:32:27.560 have given themselves

00:32:29.080 a black eye.

00:32:29.780 And let me say one more thing.

00:32:30.680 I'd love your reaction to this.

00:32:31.840 One of the concepts

00:32:34.700 of our courts

00:32:35.340 is that you get

00:32:36.040 your day in court.

00:32:37.540 Even if you have

00:32:38.280 a goofy claim,

00:32:39.540 a wacky claim,

00:32:40.680 a hopeless claim,

00:32:41.920 unless it is purely

00:32:43.100 a vexatious lawsuit

00:32:45.020 designed purely

00:32:46.800 to abuse the system,

00:32:48.180 which is extremely rare,

00:32:49.280 by the way,

00:32:50.620 everyone gets

00:32:51.320 their day in court,

00:32:52.200 even people

00:32:52.920 with hopeless causes.

00:32:54.980 And you know,

00:32:55.320 it's important

00:32:56.000 because let them

00:32:58.280 have their day in court

00:32:59.160 and let the judge

00:32:59.960 rule against them

00:33:00.660 and let the judge

00:33:01.340 explain why.

00:33:02.380 And they can at least say,

00:33:03.760 well, I played the game

00:33:04.860 and I lost

00:33:05.660 under the rules,

00:33:06.720 but at least I was allowed

00:33:07.780 to play the game.

00:33:09.760 And this judge,

00:33:11.140 this associate chief judge

00:33:12.500 yesterday said,

00:33:13.440 no,

00:33:14.340 we're not even going

00:33:15.700 to give you

00:33:16.280 your day in court.

00:33:17.840 We're too busy.

00:33:19.920 This is moot.

00:33:21.500 And two years

00:33:22.640 of lockdowns

00:33:23.880 and pandemics,

00:33:24.660 oh, it's suddenly

00:33:25.260 not relevant.

00:33:26.440 And I think

00:33:27.560 millions of people

00:33:29.480 are saying,

00:33:29.880 well, what's the bloody

00:33:30.640 point of a court then?

00:33:32.300 What is the point

00:33:33.200 of a court?

00:33:33.800 It has more important

00:33:34.860 files to work on,

00:33:35.960 does it?

00:33:36.620 It has more grave

00:33:37.960 civil liberties

00:33:38.560 violations to work on,

00:33:39.900 does it?

00:33:40.580 And so it's not just

00:33:41.740 these other institutions

00:33:42.760 I mentioned

00:33:43.300 that have a black eye,

00:33:44.500 the opposition parties,

00:33:45.880 the media,

00:33:46.440 the police,

00:33:47.040 the colleges

00:33:47.440 of physicians and surgeons.

00:33:49.200 It is the courts

00:33:50.600 and the judges

00:33:51.480 themselves

00:33:52.060 who have lost

00:33:53.020 the support

00:33:55.300 and the love

00:33:56.360 of Canadians.

00:33:56.980 And I put myself

00:33:57.920 in the category

00:33:58.700 of someone

00:33:59.120 who's deeply

00:33:59.800 disappointed in the law

00:34:00.900 and I say this

00:34:01.800 is someone

00:34:02.140 who used to be a lawyer.

00:34:05.220 Ezra, you make

00:34:06.100 such a wonderful point.

00:34:08.120 I've done over

00:34:08.740 300 interviews

00:34:09.720 in the last

00:34:10.620 300 and so days.

00:34:13.280 Live rallies,

00:34:15.120 freedom rallies

00:34:15.700 and so on.

00:34:16.880 And one of the things

00:34:17.840 I used to defend

00:34:19.000 and I have another one

00:34:20.840 tomorrow

00:34:21.360 on Vancouver Island

00:34:22.760 and one of the things

00:34:23.880 I used to defend

00:34:24.760 in the question

00:34:25.480 and answer period

00:34:26.480 was that

00:34:26.980 which was like

00:34:27.840 an hour and a half

00:34:28.740 to two hours.

00:34:29.640 I would speak

00:34:30.100 for 40 minutes

00:34:30.920 and I said to everybody

00:34:32.560 in the audience,

00:34:33.500 hold your questions,

00:34:34.500 hold your comments.

00:34:35.480 I'll stay here

00:34:36.480 if it's all night

00:34:37.380 until everybody

00:34:38.280 asks questions,

00:34:39.760 everybody gives a comment.

00:34:41.380 And one of the things

00:34:42.220 I defended,

00:34:43.700 at the end of the day

00:34:45.220 I would say to everybody,

00:34:46.680 I have to play

00:34:47.880 the system out

00:34:49.320 because not to do so,

00:34:51.200 I could always be criticized,

00:34:52.660 but you didn't go

00:34:53.780 through the judiciary.

00:34:55.220 You didn't go

00:34:56.580 through the final process

00:34:58.680 where everybody

00:34:59.900 is guaranteed

00:35:00.940 a hearing

00:35:02.480 on a serious matter.

00:35:05.900 And I cannot now,

00:35:07.940 tomorrow when I go

00:35:08.980 before people

00:35:09.940 in a live rally,

00:35:12.160 be able to defend

00:35:13.420 all of those arguments

00:35:15.720 that I made.

00:35:16.860 The court has invalidated

00:35:19.080 my argument

00:35:20.280 that I was using

00:35:21.280 that they would be legitimate

00:35:22.740 and hear the case.

00:35:24.900 They won't even hear the case.

00:35:27.020 And as I said

00:35:27.700 in my blog entry

00:35:29.480 last night,

00:35:30.420 announcing that the court

00:35:31.520 had ruled against the case,

00:35:33.920 I thought that when I joined,

00:35:37.400 when Newfoundland joined Canada

00:35:39.280 in 1949,

00:35:40.800 we were joining a country

00:35:42.200 that respected the Magna Carta,

00:35:45.700 which was really the principle

00:35:47.960 of being able to get redressed

00:35:50.060 before an independent judiciary.

00:35:53.100 And now we find

00:35:54.620 these many

00:35:56.000 six, seven, eight,

00:35:57.360 900 years later,

00:35:58.840 1,000 years later,

00:36:00.320 that no longer

00:36:01.760 does the Magna Carta

00:36:03.260 and the foundations

00:36:04.440 of our democracy

00:36:05.440 hold in 2022.

00:36:07.800 And that is perhaps

00:36:09.560 the most fundamentally

00:36:10.340 disturbing thing to me

00:36:11.740 because I get goosebumps.

00:36:14.360 I get goosebumps

00:36:15.760 to think

00:36:16.380 that I was part

00:36:17.860 of a system.

00:36:18.480 51 years ago,

00:36:21.520 this month,

00:36:22.860 I got involved

00:36:23.760 in organized politics.

00:36:25.460 51 years ago,

00:36:26.960 almost to this day.

00:36:30.040 And I got involved

00:36:31.620 in politics

00:36:32.120 because I thought

00:36:32.780 I was going to be engaged

00:36:34.020 in the process

00:36:34.800 of democracy.

00:36:36.720 And now I have to

00:36:38.340 put my name on the line

00:36:39.680 51 years later

00:36:40.880 and argue my point

00:36:43.260 and have it

00:36:44.280 dismiss

00:36:45.200 without even being argued

00:36:46.860 before what I thought

00:36:48.240 was a legitimate

00:36:49.700 superior court.

00:36:50.940 And so,

00:36:51.440 by the way,

00:36:52.140 I also take issue

00:36:53.140 with the,

00:36:54.140 and you listed them all

00:36:55.520 except the think tanks,

00:36:57.560 the so-called think tanks

00:36:58.600 in Canada,

00:36:59.380 you know,

00:36:59.680 which sort of stand apart

00:37:00.780 from academia,

00:37:02.020 stand apart from the press,

00:37:03.300 stand apart from everybody

00:37:04.360 and are supposed to be

00:37:05.700 there as the great oracles,

00:37:07.300 right?

00:37:08.240 Your program

00:37:09.500 and you as a person

00:37:10.980 and Rebel News

00:37:12.300 and several other groups

00:37:14.120 that have arisen

00:37:14.880 as a result of this

00:37:15.960 in the last two years

00:37:16.820 have been the only

00:37:18.180 bulwarks

00:37:19.000 to defend

00:37:20.320 freedom

00:37:21.360 in our nation.

00:37:23.080 And,

00:37:23.740 you know,

00:37:24.180 I applaud you

00:37:25.120 and I applaud

00:37:25.940 your organization

00:37:26.880 for standing up

00:37:28.440 and having to go

00:37:29.260 to court yourself

00:37:30.020 to even get to

00:37:30.660 a press conference.

00:37:31.940 But this is what

00:37:32.620 it's come to.

00:37:33.720 And Ezra,

00:37:34.720 we cannot stop now.

00:37:36.720 We must take this,

00:37:38.140 we're going to appeal

00:37:38.840 this if we can

00:37:39.520 to the federal appeal court

00:37:40.860 and then to the Supreme Court

00:37:42.260 of Canada

00:37:42.620 if necessary.

00:37:43.540 We're taking this

00:37:44.480 all the way

00:37:45.380 so that we,

00:37:47.360 hopefully,

00:37:48.080 by doing this,

00:37:48.960 embarrass

00:37:49.420 some of these last judges

00:37:51.520 to take a second look

00:37:52.920 at this

00:37:53.320 and understand

00:37:54.380 that justice

00:37:55.280 is not being served

00:37:56.960 right now.

00:37:58.500 Well,

00:37:59.040 that was going to be

00:37:59.680 my next question

00:38:00.520 is because,

00:38:01.760 of course,

00:38:02.220 the federal court

00:38:02.940 is subject to the oversight

00:38:04.460 of the federal court

00:38:05.320 of appeal

00:38:05.920 and that itself

00:38:07.080 answers to the Supreme Court

00:38:08.440 of Canada

00:38:08.940 and maybe they can come back

00:38:10.480 from their summer vacation

00:38:11.540 and hear a case

00:38:12.820 regarding this little thing

00:38:14.080 called the lockdown.

00:38:16.160 I am not too optimistic

00:38:17.860 because,

00:38:18.720 of course,

00:38:19.200 appeal courts

00:38:19.960 generally do not overturn

00:38:21.560 lower courts.

00:38:22.660 Just,

00:38:23.100 you know,

00:38:23.400 mathematically,

00:38:24.240 it's improbable.

00:38:25.720 But I remember

00:38:26.860 going through this lawsuit

00:38:28.160 and we're going to put

00:38:28.820 the lawsuit

00:38:29.320 underneath this video,

00:38:30.940 a link to it.

00:38:31.940 We've done that before.

00:38:33.340 Not only have I gone

00:38:34.080 through it with you,

00:38:35.220 but I went through it

00:38:35.880 with one of your lawyers,

00:38:37.380 Keith Wilson.

00:38:38.000 It was an excellent lawsuit

00:38:39.400 and I say that

00:38:41.080 as someone

00:38:42.280 who has reviewed

00:38:42.900 many,

00:38:43.580 many lawsuits

00:38:44.180 during the pandemic.

00:38:46.660 It really did

00:38:47.700 deserve its day in court.

00:38:48.980 Let me throw one more

00:38:49.620 thing at you

00:38:50.160 because you were talking

00:38:50.960 about how you believed

00:38:52.540 in the judiciary.

00:38:53.500 Well,

00:38:53.900 I remember there's

00:38:54.980 three big branches

00:38:56.080 of government.

00:38:56.780 There's the legislature.

00:38:58.380 Those are the people

00:38:58.920 who vote on laws.

00:38:59.900 There's the judiciary.

00:39:01.760 Those are the judges

00:39:02.540 that review the laws.

00:39:04.520 And then there's

00:39:05.300 the executive.

00:39:06.560 So there's three branches

00:39:07.540 of government.

00:39:08.080 So the legislature

00:39:10.260 was not involved

00:39:11.400 with this at all.

00:39:12.580 This was not debated.

00:39:13.760 This was not,

00:39:14.480 this no fly list.

00:39:15.560 This was not debated.

00:39:17.080 There were not hearings

00:39:18.060 about it.

00:39:19.660 And the courts

00:39:20.620 refused to hear it.

00:39:21.520 This was an executive

00:39:23.300 decision,

00:39:23.820 not even by the prime

00:39:25.160 minister.

00:39:25.560 This was by some bureaucrats.

00:39:27.920 That is not how

00:39:28.720 a democracy works.

00:39:30.180 We have these three

00:39:31.060 branches that are,

00:39:33.380 that theoretically

00:39:34.980 hold each other

00:39:35.860 to account.

00:39:36.400 There was no

00:39:36.820 legislator debate.

00:39:38.060 There was no vote

00:39:39.020 on this.

00:39:40.280 And it's,

00:39:40.940 there was no transcripts.

00:39:42.060 There was no hearings.

00:39:42.980 They didn't ask people.

00:39:44.320 They didn't show

00:39:45.260 their work.

00:39:46.160 This was true. 0.85

00:39:48.160 Autocracy.

00:39:50.100 No question.

00:39:52.600 Parliamentary committee.

00:39:54.000 One would have thought

00:39:54.880 that all of the

00:39:55.620 provincial legislatures

00:39:56.820 and the federal

00:39:57.760 parliament,

00:39:58.940 given that mandates

00:39:59.880 came from both

00:40:00.820 jurisdictions,

00:40:02.020 would have had

00:40:02.760 the parliamentary

00:40:03.380 committee overseeing

00:40:05.080 this very important

00:40:07.000 unusual circumstance.

00:40:08.880 That's what it demanded.

00:40:10.380 Section one

00:40:11.160 of the charter

00:40:11.820 said,

00:40:13.840 you can override

00:40:14.840 these rights and freedoms

00:40:15.820 if you can

00:40:16.500 demonstrably justify.

00:40:18.500 Those are the key words.

00:40:20.380 And

00:40:20.780 demonstrably justify

00:40:22.560 within a free

00:40:23.820 and democratic society.

00:40:25.880 Neither one of those

00:40:26.840 conditions have been met

00:40:27.960 by anything

00:40:28.820 any government

00:40:29.800 in Canada

00:40:30.380 has done.

00:40:31.160 And I argue this

00:40:32.120 every day

00:40:33.000 in every meeting

00:40:34.220 and every interview

00:40:35.400 and every rally I do.

00:40:36.920 And I will

00:40:37.460 to the day I die.

00:40:38.680 They have not even met

00:40:39.860 the fundamentals

00:40:40.700 of section one

00:40:42.120 of the charter.

00:40:43.920 And,

00:40:44.120 and by the way,

00:40:45.680 while speaking of that,

00:40:47.120 the charter,

00:40:48.700 the main

00:40:49.400 first words

00:40:51.400 of the charter

00:40:51.960 are this country

00:40:53.120 is founded

00:40:53.840 upon the principle

00:40:54.980 of the supremacy

00:40:56.640 of God

00:40:57.320 and the rule of law.

00:40:58.520 So we have the supremacy

00:40:59.960 of God being ignored.

00:41:01.400 We have the rule of law

00:41:02.280 being ignored.

00:41:03.340 We have demonstrably

00:41:04.220 justified being ignored.

00:41:05.840 And we have

00:41:06.280 rule of law being

00:41:07.720 and the free

00:41:09.320 and democratic society.

00:41:10.980 And you know,

00:41:11.340 the demonstrably

00:41:12.100 democratic society

00:41:13.240 which gets the parliament

00:41:14.060 party.

00:41:15.220 And so does demonstrably.

00:41:16.800 Demonstrably means

00:41:17.460 you can demonstrate

00:41:18.320 it to people

00:41:18.980 if they're going to

00:41:19.860 infringe your rights, 0.95

00:41:20.720 they have to demonstrate

00:41:21.800 it to you

00:41:22.860 and not giving you

00:41:24.340 a day in court,

00:41:25.260 not having a debate

00:41:26.240 in the legislature,

00:41:27.100 not having any scrutiny.

00:41:29.540 You had to coax

00:41:30.500 this information

00:41:31.280 out of them

00:41:31.720 through a legal process.

00:41:33.920 The charter of rights

00:41:35.140 failed.

00:41:36.720 And it's terrifying

00:41:38.220 to have this conversation

00:41:39.500 with the last living

00:41:40.380 signatory of the thing.

00:41:42.360 And by the way,

00:41:42.980 I remember

00:41:46.540 when you mentioned

00:41:47.260 demands to be justified.

00:41:48.840 Early on,

00:41:49.760 17 months,

00:41:51.000 early on in the talks

00:41:52.320 about the charter,

00:41:53.640 one of the things

00:41:54.460 when we came to section one

00:41:55.820 that we already

00:41:56.900 had sort of agreed to

00:41:58.100 was justified.

00:42:00.540 And if Peter Lougheed

00:42:01.500 was alive today,

00:42:02.580 if Bill Bennett

00:42:03.160 was alive today,

00:42:04.140 if Alan Blakeney

00:42:04.860 was alive today,

00:42:06.200 if Serling Lyon

00:42:06.960 was alive today,

00:42:08.500 if Premier McLean

00:42:09.440 of PEI

00:42:10.120 was alive today,

00:42:11.200 all of those

00:42:12.220 first ministers

00:42:13.160 were part

00:42:14.360 of the cabal

00:42:15.760 of first ministers

00:42:16.720 who put in,

00:42:18.000 including me,

00:42:18.960 demonstrably justified.

00:42:20.780 We wanted to

00:42:21.660 strengthen it.

00:42:22.540 You cannot only

00:42:23.280 just justify,

00:42:24.100 you've got to go

00:42:24.620 out of your way

00:42:25.560 to justify this

00:42:27.440 in order to override.

00:42:29.520 And then we put in

00:42:30.440 free and democratic society

00:42:31.720 because we thought

00:42:32.300 that would copperfasten it now.

00:42:34.480 There's just no way

00:42:35.440 unless it was a real

00:42:36.520 insurrection

00:42:37.460 or a war

00:42:38.300 or something.

00:42:38.920 And remember,

00:42:39.420 in section four

00:42:40.240 of the charter,

00:42:41.620 it talks about

00:42:42.480 war and insurrection

00:42:43.740 for extending

00:42:44.660 the parliament

00:42:45.220 right in the charter itself.

00:42:47.100 So the concept

00:42:47.800 was alive and well

00:42:49.540 in our minds

00:42:50.820 at that time

00:42:51.640 because we have it

00:42:52.540 in there in section four.

00:42:53.860 So there's no basis

00:42:55.520 in logic

00:42:56.300 or in the charter

00:42:58.140 to do,

00:42:59.320 to justify

00:42:59.860 what they're doing.

00:43:01.500 Yeah.

00:43:02.180 Well,

00:43:02.660 Premier Peckford,

00:43:03.400 you're a national treasure.

00:43:04.800 You're a great patriot.

00:43:05.960 You're a great Canadian.

00:43:07.540 And it's a,

00:43:08.500 even though this is

00:43:09.500 a dark moment,

00:43:10.580 it's a pleasure

00:43:11.140 to talk with you.

00:43:11.920 I sincerely hope

00:43:12.980 that you and your lawyers

00:43:14.000 come to the decision

00:43:15.540 to appeal this.

00:43:16.480 I certainly hope you do.

00:43:17.820 And we will be watching

00:43:18.880 it every step of the way.

00:43:21.160 And we'll be supporting you

00:43:22.940 morally and journalistically.

00:43:24.780 And I know that

00:43:25.240 the Justice Center

00:43:26.080 for Constitutional Freedoms,

00:43:27.940 great guys,

00:43:29.060 one of the few folks

00:43:30.360 who were fighting

00:43:31.060 for freedom

00:43:32.020 during these dark days.

00:43:32.980 I salute them.

00:43:34.360 And I mentioned

00:43:35.300 your lawyer,

00:43:35.920 Keith Wilson.

00:43:36.560 I admire John Carpe,

00:43:38.140 the president over there.

00:43:39.540 You guys have done

00:43:40.540 more for freedom

00:43:41.320 than all these other institutions

00:43:43.380 that we were talking about.

00:43:44.780 Keep up the good fight,

00:43:45.780 my friend,

00:43:46.640 and keep your energy

00:43:47.960 and keep your spirits high.

00:43:49.260 We're not done

00:43:49.780 this fight yet.

00:43:51.840 No, you can say that again.

00:43:53.260 And I look forward

00:43:53.860 to seeing your people

00:43:54.740 in Calgary

00:43:55.440 to an event

00:43:56.300 that you and your organization

00:43:57.940 are sponsoring

00:43:58.580 at the end of November.

00:44:00.300 And thank you

00:44:00.780 for all your work.

00:44:01.440 Well, thanks for watching

00:44:07.560 today's show.

00:44:08.380 I will be back

00:44:09.440 in our world headquarters

00:44:10.640 on Monday.

00:44:11.500 So thanks for putting up

00:44:12.380 with me being in unusual places

00:44:13.880 without my usual studio.

00:44:15.980 But I think we did a great job

00:44:17.080 and thanks to Celine Glass

00:44:18.200 for helping me on the ground.

00:44:20.960 I think about what we...

00:44:24.600 I talked to you earlier

00:44:25.540 about the so-called

00:44:26.720 investigations by the CBC.

00:44:28.380 You know, we have

00:44:29.440 less than 1%

00:44:30.400 of the budget of the CBC.

00:44:32.420 And what have we been

00:44:33.180 investigating in recent days?

00:44:34.480 Well, the Trucker Commission,

00:44:35.480 like a lot of people,

00:44:36.480 we sent reporters

00:44:37.300 to Berlin, Germany

00:44:38.200 to investigate

00:44:38.820 what the World Health Organization

00:44:40.220 is saying.

00:44:40.980 Right now,

00:44:41.480 we have reporters

00:44:42.080 in Buenos Aires

00:44:42.980 studying what Canadian mayors

00:44:45.520 are doing,

00:44:46.020 sneaking away

00:44:46.820 to a globalist conference

00:44:48.280 to come up with plans

00:44:49.740 for Canada

00:44:50.260 that they never

00:44:50.880 consulted Canadians about.

00:44:52.620 That's what we do

00:44:53.500 on a shoestring budget

00:44:54.840 when we investigate.

00:44:56.500 The CBC investigates parents

00:44:59.000 who are concerned

00:44:59.920 that their kids

00:45:00.540 of tender years

00:45:01.200 are being taught

00:45:01.640 extreme sex ed.

00:45:03.340 Well, that's the rebel for you.

00:45:05.380 Until next time,

00:45:06.680 on behalf of all of us

00:45:08.220 here at Rebel News,

00:45:09.120 including in Edmonton,

00:45:10.300 to you at home,

00:45:11.400 good night

00:45:11.800 and keep fighting for freedom.

00:45:14.060 Hey everyone,

00:45:14.520 William Diaz here

00:45:15.120 with Rebel News.

00:45:16.520 Chinese Communist Party,

00:45:18.280 not the best party, right?

00:45:19.460 Well, we recently learned

00:45:20.960 that the Chinese Communist Party

00:45:22.840 has installed

00:45:24.120 three police stations

00:45:25.520 that are operating here

00:45:26.640 in Canada

00:45:27.680 in the Grand Toronto area.

00:45:29.600 Unbelievable.

00:45:30.300 That's really not good

00:45:31.040 for Canadian sovereignty.

00:45:31.920 So I went to Parliament Hill

00:45:33.180 yesterday

00:45:33.960 and I asked Liberal MPs,

00:45:35.860 why are they allowing

00:45:38.040 China to operate

00:45:40.080 police stations

00:45:40.920 here in our country,

00:45:42.600 in Canada?

00:45:43.540 Could it be because

00:45:44.140 Justin Trudeau

00:45:44.860 has stated his admiration

00:45:46.260 for China's basic dictatorship?

00:45:48.840 Take a look at what he said.

00:45:49.760 There's a level of admiration

00:45:52.680 I actually have for China

00:45:54.280 because their basic dictatorship

00:45:59.600 is allowing them

00:46:01.080 to actually turn their economy

00:46:03.120 around on a dime.

00:46:04.060 In addition to that,

00:46:04.820 I wanted to know

00:46:05.440 whether or not

00:46:06.040 Liberal MPs would push

00:46:07.240 for Justin Trudeau's resignation

00:46:08.740 if it is found

00:46:09.640 in the Emergencies Act inquiry

00:46:11.480 that he invoked

00:46:12.560 the Never Seen Before

00:46:14.540 Emergencies Act

00:46:15.740 unjustifiably

00:46:16.920 and unnecessarily.

00:46:18.320 So let's go see

00:46:18.960 how all of them respond.

00:46:20.980 Mr. Algebra,

00:46:21.840 how are you doing?

00:46:24.180 Can you explain

00:46:25.320 to Canadians

00:46:26.100 why the Chinese Communist Party

00:46:28.040 is operating police stations

00:46:29.300 here in Canada?

00:46:34.260 You're a little bit

00:46:35.060 less spicy than last time.

00:46:39.440 Can you explain

00:46:40.360 why the Chinese Communist Party

00:46:42.040 is operating police stations

00:46:43.340 in Canada?

00:46:43.860 Could it be because

00:46:48.480 Justin Trudeau

00:46:49.120 has an admiration

00:46:49.960 for the Chinese Communist Party?

00:46:56.620 Do you think that's it?

00:46:57.700 Why is the Chinese Communist Party

00:47:05.740 operating police stations

00:47:07.680 in Canada?

00:47:08.460 Mr. Algebra?

00:47:09.160 I think that's it.

00:47:14.160 Our last thing,

00:47:14.720 if Justin,

00:47:15.060 if it's found by the

00:47:16.100 Emergencies Act

00:47:16.580 in the fire

00:47:17.000 that Justin Trudeau

00:47:18.040 invoked the Emergencies Act

00:47:19.920 unjustified

00:47:20.960 in an unjustified manner

00:47:23.000 and unnecessarily,

00:47:24.960 will you push

00:47:25.440 for his resignation?

00:47:26.180 Have a nice day.

00:47:34.820 Mr. Mendocino,

00:47:35.800 why is the Chinese Communist Party

00:47:37.660 operating police stations

00:47:39.060 in Canada?

00:47:42.300 Why is the Chinese Communist Party

00:47:44.240 operating police stations

00:47:45.420 in Canada?

00:47:48.860 Have a good day, sir.

00:47:50.940 Miss Miss Anand,

00:47:51.620 why is the Chinese Communist Party

00:47:53.580 of Canada operating

00:47:54.480 police stations in Canada?

00:47:55.700 The Chinese Communist Party

00:47:57.880 of China

00:47:58.280 operating police stations

00:47:59.540 in Canada.

00:48:01.640 Sorry.

00:48:03.620 What steps will you take

00:48:05.040 to make sure

00:48:05.480 the police stations

00:48:06.360 in Canada

00:48:06.860 will go back to China?

00:48:11.980 Or do you agree

00:48:12.920 with the fact

00:48:13.260 that they're here

00:48:13.660 because your leader

00:48:14.400 has a deep admiration

00:48:15.540 for the communism in China?

00:48:23.360 Can you answer?

00:48:25.700 I'm on my way

00:48:29.040 to an event.

00:48:30.500 Do you agree,

00:48:31.460 yes or no,

00:48:32.080 that China 0.93

00:48:33.240 is operating

00:48:33.900 communist police stations

00:48:35.360 in our sovereign country

00:48:37.120 of Canada?

00:48:39.960 Do you agree?

00:48:43.500 Do you agree?

00:48:43.540 have a good day?

00:48:50.340 Perfect.

00:48:50.920 Have a good day.

00:48:51.460 Oh, you're screwing here.

00:48:52.840 Do you agree?

00:48:53.760 Yes or no?

00:48:54.260 will you agree?

00:48:55.260 Will you push for Justin Trudeau's resignation

00:49:03.320 if it is found that he used the emergencies act unnecessarily?

00:49:12.180 Will you push for his resignation?

00:49:13.700 All right.

00:49:27.040 Have a good day, man.

00:49:27.700 Gerrit Cien.

00:49:29.320 There are three police stations

00:49:31.240 from China and Canada.

00:49:32.580 Do you care about Canadian sovereignty?

00:49:34.320 Who are you?

00:49:34.920 Who are you?

00:49:35.500 I'm with Rebel News.

00:49:36.780 Of course I care about Canadian sovereignty

00:49:38.660 and I'm unaware of any information

00:49:41.300 that suggests what you're talking about.

00:49:43.040 There are multiple reports

00:49:44.680 of mainstream media here in Canada

00:49:46.800 saying that we have three police stations

00:49:48.640 operating in Canada.

00:49:50.040 David Mezies did a little investigation himself.

00:49:52.160 Take a look.

00:49:52.580 It has made the news in several media outlets

00:49:55.400 that there are actually Chinese police stations

00:49:59.820 operating on Canadian soil.

00:50:03.220 Two in Markham and one in Scarborough that we know of.

00:50:07.640 And one of the overseas Chinese police stations

00:50:11.340 is based here at the Canada-Toronto

00:50:15.240 Fuking Business Association.

00:50:18.440 Why don't we just go and make another house call

00:50:21.160 and see if anyone's home?

00:50:28.160 As you can see, the door is locked.

00:50:32.480 I see a monitor on, but so far nothing.

00:50:38.740 Mr. Lloyd, what are your thoughts

00:50:40.340 on the Chinese Communist Party

00:50:41.820 operating police stations in Canada?

00:50:43.940 Oh, it's absolutely unacceptable.

00:50:46.320 What actions can the Conservative Party take

00:50:48.860 to remedy the situation?

00:50:50.560 Well, I think we're doing everything we can

00:50:53.080 to call on the government

00:50:53.900 to use its governmental authority

00:50:56.440 to take action on this issue

00:50:57.660 and protect Canadian sovereignty.

00:50:59.400 Sir, why is the Chinese Communist Party

00:51:01.220 operating police stations in Canada?

00:51:08.480 Does the Liberal Party agree about the fact

00:51:11.680 and think it's okay that the Communist Party in China

00:51:15.980 is operating police stations, three of them,

00:51:19.360 here in Canada?

00:51:26.980 Do you think it's good?

00:51:32.480 Do you care about the Canadian sovereignty?

00:51:34.280 Do you, too?

00:51:39.120 You were more talkative last time that I saw you,

00:51:41.120 but I guess it's because you already had an answer.

00:51:42.940 So I'll ask you again.

00:51:44.300 Do you agree?

00:51:45.300 And are you proud of having the Chinese Communist Party

00:51:48.420 operating police stations here in Canada?

00:51:50.800 i'll take that as a yes so so is the reason why you are okay with that because your boss

00:52:06.740 has a deep admiration for the basic dictatorship in china

00:52:10.520 is that why the liberal party is fine with it

00:52:18.740 is that why

00:52:27.500 all right have a good day sir

00:52:32.420 only question answered

00:52:36.060 why is the chinese communist party operating police stations in canada

00:52:41.180 can you answer

00:52:47.540 why is the communist party in china putting canadian sovereignty at risk and operating police stations

00:52:59.300 in canada

00:53:06.060 do you agree with what they're doing

00:53:13.060 do you support the fact that china is operating communist police stations in canada
