00:01:18.040 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:01:22.360 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back

00:01:33.080 at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite Rebels. I'm your host,

00:01:37.800 David Menzies. Well, professional wrestler hotshot Danny Duggan isn't someone you'd want to meet

00:01:44.100 in a dark alley or even a well-lit alley for that matter. But alas, Duggan got financially

00:01:50.180 body-slammed by bylaw enforcement for allegedly breaking the Wuhan virus protocols. Yeah, he should

00:01:57.860 have staged his wrestling match in a Costco or Walmart. Goodness knows anything goes there,

00:02:03.400 after all. Just wait till you hear what she-devil Sheila Gunn-Reed has to say about this one. 1.00

00:02:10.100 And a real estate agent went to British Columbia to ring in the New Year at a Hugs Over Mass event.

00:02:15.840 You guessed it, folks. The cancel culture mob and the COVID Karens are outraged and want her 1.00

00:02:23.760 penalized for doing something that was, well, perfectly legal. Tamara Ugolini has all the details.

00:02:30.520 And letters, we get your letters. We get them every minute of every day. And you had plenty to say

00:02:34.960 about my video regarding what might be one of the craziest stories of the year. We're only into

00:02:41.440 mid-January. Namely, the Toronto Toboggan Police. Yeah, they are now patrolling certain hills,

00:02:48.880 preventing kids from sledding. And yes, it's all about curbing that rascally Wuhan virus, of course. 1.00

00:02:56.160 Those are your rebels. Now, let's round them up.

00:02:58.280 Now, back to wrestling meets government overreach. Danny Warren, also known by his wrestling name as

00:03:10.880 Hot Shot Danny Duggan, is a professional wrestler and wrestling promoter. And he just got the standard

00:03:18.460 nearly $1,300 Manitoba COVID violation fine for filming a wrestling event in a closed facility.

00:03:26.280 Now, I'll let Danny tell you the full story. Check it out. Danny, why don't you give us

00:03:32.280 the Colesnotes version of what you were doing? That normal thing that everybody used to be allowed

00:03:38.920 to do that all of a sudden, in the age of the coronavirus pandemic, is completely illegal.

00:03:44.700 Why don't you give us those details? We're putting lives at risk. That's what we're doing.

00:03:48.780 Right. Supposedly. So we had a wrestling event. CWE is, you know, a live touring company that goes

00:03:56.800 across Canada, you know, British Columbia through Quebec, producing live events. That business has

00:04:03.020 been completely gutted this past year with all the restrictions and lockdowns and things of that

00:04:07.720 nature. But we did have an event that was scheduled to take place December 4th in Winnipeg, in front of a

00:04:12.980 live audience in front of a limited capacity, based on the capacity restrictions that were allowed at

00:04:18.760 the time. That event was supposed to be an event that was not only for the live audience, but being

00:04:23.740 taped for DVD distribution, as well as a TV project we're working on. Unfortunately, about a week out,

00:04:29.960 I believe, or two weeks out from that event, capacity restrictions changed, public gatherings are

00:04:34.940 no longer allowed. So we moved the event to our private training facility. It's in a locked gated

00:04:42.500 area, barbed wire on the fences, doors locked, nobody's getting in and out, unless they're a part 1.00

00:04:47.960 of our staff. And we decided we're going to go ahead and continue with the production of the event

00:04:52.700 for our TV pilot that we're working on. And based on our knowledge of the Public Health Act that was

00:04:59.540 released, I believe, Line 70, all productions that began prior to November 12th were able to

00:05:06.640 proceed production. Ours began production with video on October 28th. So all things considered,

00:05:13.520 we were in the clear. Ah, but alas and alack, hotshot Dan Duggan, no relation to Hacksaw Jim Duggan,

00:05:20.400 I presume, was not in the clear. And folks, after almost a year of bringing you these stories,

00:05:27.680 you know how it ends, don't you? Yep, some overzealous by-law enforcement officer decides

00:05:34.000 that a controlled and safe environment is somehow a super spreader venue. So out comes the fine book

00:05:41.180 for a heaping helping of misery yet again. And joining me now with more on the day, the big burly

00:05:48.960 pro wrestlers were cruelly ticketed by those pencil neck geeks down at by-law enforcement, 1.00

00:05:55.380 is Sheila, the she-devil, Gun Reid. How you doing there, Sheila? 0.61

00:06:00.640 David, I'm great. This story was so fun for me. Not fun because a guy doing something that should

00:06:06.840 be completely legal got fined, but you know how I love wrestling. And I love fighting the government,

00:06:11.940 and it was like, this is perfect for me. I do too. And wrestlers being wrestlers,

00:06:17.740 luckily for those by-law enforcement officers, there was no smackdown being done on them. But Sheila, 0.90

00:06:24.100 those nosy parkers at by-law come unannounced and uninvited into that professional wrestling TV

00:06:31.980 taping. And then what happens? Well, as Danny tells this story, several cop cars, I think close to a

00:06:43.380 dozen cop cars turn up and by-law officers. They don't get a ticket that day, but it does disrupt

00:06:50.400 their production. And as all the police are congregating in the lot of their private,

00:06:57.220 secure, closed venue where they're taping, as the police are all congregating there,

00:07:02.280 an actual problem that requires police occurs just up the road and there's a car accident.

00:07:07.880 And so they deploy just one car to deal with that. And while the rest of them remain with the wrestlers.

00:07:13.000 But I thought it was funny that that day nobody's ticketed. But then later on, after all the big

00:07:20.740 burly wrestlers go off to their regular lives and everything is left alone to settle, a couple days

00:07:27.960 later, Danny Duggan leaves his house. And then a cop knocks on his door or by-law officer,

00:07:37.020 enforcement officer anyway, knocks on his door and tickets his wife and gives his wife the ticket 0.99

00:07:41.720 because they don't want to deal with the wrestlers, even though the wrestlers were pretty calm and

00:07:46.180 pretty level-headed when they were dealing with them the first time around at the location where

00:07:50.180 they were taping their event. Oh, what, what cowards. But you know, Sheila, what I'm trying to 0.99

00:07:55.740 understand, I know we live in a day and age of hypocrisy and double standards and one rule for thee and

00:08:02.480 one rule for me, but this was a small essential people only taping of a wrestling show that was

00:08:09.900 supposedly some kind of super spreader event. But right now, this week, we have the NHL resuming

00:08:15.860 their schedule. In Winnipeg, we have the coincidentally named the Winnipeg Jets playing

00:08:23.640 at the arena there. There are more players when you have two hockey teams, plus all the necessary

00:08:31.060 camera people, the commentators, the lighting people, et cetera, et cetera. Even in an empty building,

00:08:36.460 Sheila, what I'm saying is there was way more people at a professional hockey game. Are,

00:08:42.420 are the bylaw going to be coming out to the Winnipeg Jets home games and ticketing the hockey

00:08:47.520 players? No, of course not. I mean, and when I was talking to Danny, he told me, you know, like we,

00:08:54.020 of course, are, the capacity of what they were doing was limited over the summer. Um, and they,

00:09:00.880 you know, reduced their schedule over this summer. Danny says like his income has fallen by 90% this

00:09:07.120 year, but they still were 90, but they were still able to host events if they met all the protocols

00:09:13.760 that the government had laid out for them. And they had, and they had communicated with health

00:09:17.820 officers to make sure that they were doing everything, not just properly, but over and above

00:09:22.400 what the government was asking because they want to work. They want to, they want to practice their

00:09:26.980 sport. They're athletes, right? So they did that. And then the government says, well, we're closing

00:09:34.880 down, you know, wrestling while pro sports are finding other pro sports are finding a way to go

00:09:41.360 forward. But they were also doing something else that is completely legal. And that's do television

00:09:47.840 and video production because they were filming this as part of a pilot, um, for a show and they were

00:09:53.720 broadcasting it and they had started production before the government said, you have to stop

00:10:00.620 doing all of this. So they're producing film and television, which is completely legal and is

00:10:07.280 continuing all over Manitoba right now. But because they're wrestlers, they just fell through the cracks

00:10:13.320 and it's, it's, these rules are applied so haphazardly. None of it makes sense. There's car votes for this

00:10:21.140 industry. There's no car votes for that industry. It's just this ridiculous Swiss cheese hole of

00:10:29.120 regulations and none of it makes any sense. And if you're just trying to pay your bills, you get 0.85

00:10:34.100 punished for it with, uh, in daddy's case, you know, a $1,300 fine. You know, this breaks my heart,

00:10:40.580 Sheila. And I'll tell you why. I mean, forget about the fact that his income has fallen by 90%,

00:10:45.540 even in the best of times when you are a wrestler with an independent circuit, it is so hard to make

00:10:53.320 any money. And the risk is so great. What you're putting your body through that even when you get

00:10:58.100 to the WWE, which is a virtually a worldwide monopoly of professional wrestling, there's no

00:11:03.520 players association. If you try to form one, Vince McMahon is going to fire you. Um, there is no pension

00:11:09.440 plan. Uh, getting insurance for personal injury is almost impossible. So basically you can break

00:11:16.240 your neck in the ring and your career's over and you have no money. But these athletes, Sheila are so

00:11:24.040 passionate about their sport. They will endure that kind of high risk. The last thing they need

00:11:31.360 are these guys coming in from bylaw and law enforcement with tickets, giving them a ticket

00:11:37.060 for a crime that hasn't been committed. This is what's got me crazy about this story. You,

00:11:42.920 you brought to our attention. Well, they send out 14 cop cars to deal with these guys. And Danny is

00:11:49.100 convinced that one of the competitors snitched on him, used the snitch line, abused the snitch line

00:11:56.660 to get his production shut down. Because I suppose that other competitor wasn't willing to take the

00:12:01.240 precautions that Danny has for his athletes. But yeah, I mean, there's strong overlays here for

00:12:07.980 another professional sport that was also completely shut down over the summer here. Um, and that's

00:12:12.940 rodeo where you don't make any money unless you win. And even in the smaller rodeos, there's really

00:12:19.340 no money to be had. It's just helps you qualify for the more, um, for the bigger rodeos with bigger

00:12:24.940 payouts. And these guys are athletes and it's imperative on them that they practice their

00:12:31.720 sports, be able to maintain the level at which they practice. And they're not able to do that.

00:12:37.740 And it's through the love of the sport that they do it. And again, the government is carving out all

00:12:44.420 these exceptions for millionaires, but nothing for these smaller semi-pro athletes like Danny's

00:12:51.580 production. Well, Sheila, please keep following that story. We have to wrap it here. I'll tell

00:12:56.060 you, if I was hotshot Dan Duggan and I was presented with a ticket from bylaw, I think I would take that

00:13:03.820 immortal line from The Rock, which is, I want you to fold that ticket, lube it on down and shove it up 0.99

00:13:12.320 your Rudy Poo candy ass. I ain't paying it, but we'll go to bat for them nevertheless. Sheila, thanks so much. 0.99

00:13:18.860 Great report. And, uh, you have a great weekend, my friend. I will. And if anybody wants to support

00:13:25.020 our legal fight to help Danny fight his ticket and get his athletes back to work, they can do that at

00:13:31.300 fight the fines.com. Great. And folks, that was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the hinterland 1.00

00:13:37.340 of Northern Alberta. Keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:13:41.540 I'm Tamara Ugolini with Rebel News. And yesterday I had the opportunity to catch up with Jody

00:13:51.180 Ledgerwood, who is a resident and an independent realtor in Northumberland County, Ontario. Jody

00:13:57.560 has been on the receiving end of a community smear campaign after posting a Facebook video where she

00:14:04.300 attended the New Year's Eve Freedom Rally in Vancouver, British Columbia, where my colleague

00:14:09.140 Drea Humphrey was reporting. The witch hunt for Jody comes not even a month after Coburg mayor,

00:14:15.900 John Henderson, joins the declaration for the town of Coburg to join the Coalition of Inclusive

00:14:22.220 Municipalities, which aims to foster a welcoming community to support diversity and inclusiveness

00:14:28.520 while working against racism and discrimination locally. It seems like the town of Coburg is a good

00:14:34.460 fit for this initiative because the backlash and threats Jody has received since today's North 0.84

00:14:39.900 umberland published her video on their news page is definitely a disgrace. Check out what Jody had to 0.96

00:14:46.280 say. Where do you think your personal views became newsworthy in the town of Coburg and Northumberland

00:14:51.920 County as a broader locale? Well, I've been posting my views since August, September. Being a local

00:15:00.480 realtor, I was afraid to talk out against lockdowns, talk out against restrictions, thinking it would

00:15:05.600 affect my livelihood. Something happened in August, September. I don't know if I was having a bad day

00:15:11.880 mentally, physically, or if somebody had just said something that really upset me. I've been doing a lot

00:15:17.520 of research and a lot of medical research and talking to a lot of people in the medical field.

00:15:24.140 And so I started posting. I felt that that needed to be present. Um, whether people agreed with me or

00:15:32.820 not, I was okay with that. I, and if you go through my Facebook, you'll see there are opposing opinions

00:15:38.300 of mine and I've left them up and we have discussion and we have a debate and some people's privately

00:15:43.760 messaged me and we have our private debates and that's good. I think debating is good. Having opposing

00:15:48.980 views is good. And this is your personal Facebook page for the record. Correct. This is my personal

00:15:55.000 Facebook page. It's not my business page. Um, so my views are very public already. My, my real estate

00:16:03.640 association knows what my views are right from beginning of March. They knew what my views on the

00:16:10.260 whole issue was. I've not, it's not been a secret. I'm big on honesty and transparency. So when I went to

00:16:17.560 the new year's Eve rally, the freedom rally, um, I, and it was a last minute thing. I was driving my

00:16:24.600 daughter back to BC. She bought a vehicle while she was home for the Christmas break. I didn't want her 1.00

00:16:29.120 driving back to BC by herself. Her friend had canceled out last minute. So last minute, I'm now driving my

00:16:35.100 daughter back to BC. Can't cross the States because there's land travel is not allowed. So we had to drive

00:16:41.540 through Northern Ontario and then across the provinces that way. So being a mom, I'm going,

00:16:49.960 I'm coming with you. So on one of my rests, that's when I saw the poster for the new year's Eve freedom

00:16:57.400 rally. And so I posed the question, is this real? And Vlad, um, sent me a note back through Facebook

00:17:05.860 saying, yes, this is very real. So I again posed the question, well, I'm from Ontario and I'm actually

00:17:13.320 going to be in BC on this date. Um, I'm, I'm coming. And he said, well, if you come, I've got hugs for

00:17:20.680 you. So when I got there, I sought him out. I got my hug. Yes. Jody Ledgerwood got a hug. All right.

00:17:27.340 But that wasn't the only thing she received for attending that new year's Eve hugs over mass

00:17:32.900 freedom rally in Vancouver. Indeed. Jody was soon subjected to a witch hunt for having the temerity

00:17:40.220 to, well, legally have some fun. And even though Jody has been an ardent follower of the Wuhan virus

00:17:48.320 protocols as set out by the Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors, where she sits on the board

00:17:55.420 and was a past president. Well, the COVID Karens want their pound of flesh. And so it was that 0.86

00:18:02.880 the board has asked Jody to voluntarily resign. And incredibly, Jody hasn't been given a chance

00:18:10.720 to even plead her case, provide any form of feedback or answer any questions. It's a bluntly worded letter

00:18:19.280 that essentially states resign or else. And joining me now to discuss this latest egregious case of

00:18:27.940 someone being called out by the cancel culture mob is Tamara Ugolini. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, 0.99

00:18:34.640 Tamara. Thank you, David. Happy to be here. Great. So Tamara, so much of the social media feedback

00:18:41.260 Jody has received ranges from, well, the vulgar to the profane. You would think she was a serial

00:18:47.480 killer or something, as opposed to someone who celebrated New Year's Eve in BC, which we should

00:18:53.200 point out, was perfectly legal. What's your take on the vile treatment this lady has received? 1.00

00:19:02.120 At this point, it's not surprising, which is very sad and unfortunate. The stories that I've been

00:19:08.460 covering over the last several weeks, few months, the negativity and the aggressiveness against any

00:19:16.860 dissenting voice has just increased and heightened exponentially. I'm not surprised. I'm very

00:19:23.900 disappointed in the town of Coburg. I mean, especially I pointed out that the mayor here has

00:19:31.040 signed this declaration for the town of Coburg to join the inclusive, to be an inclusive community.

00:19:39.000 And here we see someone who's exercised their lawful right to, A, travel to bring her daughter

00:19:45.780 back to university in BC, who simultaneously wanted to exercise her, again, lawful right to protest 0.98

00:19:54.900 and assemble peacefully. And look at what the backlash that she's received. I mean,

00:20:01.440 how inclusive and tolerant is that?

00:20:02.980 You know, Tamara, I think there is an undercurrent here that we're going to see play out to greater

00:20:10.080 effect in 2021 and the years to come. And that is, if you're going to do something that, I mean,

00:20:16.640 what she did, let's be clear, it wasn't illegal. It was just in certain circles, socially unacceptable. 1.00

00:20:22.840 So don't get yourself on social media. Don't post anything on Facebook and forget about a face mask.

00:20:29.700 Wear a balaclava if you're going to something like Hugs Over Mask. You don't want to be identified.

00:20:36.540 This is a scary scenario to me, I think, Tamara, if we are indeed living in presumably a free country.

00:20:44.220 Well, that's a great point. I mean, what happened to being in a free and democratic society where we could

00:20:49.860 engage in those discussions and have debates and have alternative points of view brought to the table

00:20:55.960 to figure out solutions and situations that make sense and include all aspects of an argument.

00:21:05.380 Yeah, it's scary times. I mean, look at what Randy Hillier, he posted that photo of his family

00:21:10.080 gathering for Christmas. And he says, you know, post it on social media, show people we're living

00:21:15.660 normally because we know, I know, you can see based on all of the politicians and hospital CEOs and

00:21:23.940 various people in these high up positions where they're traveling to their luxurious destinations.

00:21:29.760 I mean, people are still doing these things. They're just hiding it. And so, you know, when someone

00:21:36.200 like Jodie Ledgerwood is putting it out on the table for everyone to see to say, hey, look, this is how

00:21:40.940 New Year's Eve should be spent. And I'm going to continue to live my life not in fear. I mean,

00:21:47.840 it's just two sides of the pendulum. And people need to realize that there's more people out there

00:21:54.080 doing these very same things. They're just hiding it. You know, that's an excellent point, Tamara. And

00:21:59.100 these are the people that are admonishing us to behave or else. And then you have somebody like

00:22:05.300 the finance minister, arguably the number one guy after the premier going to St. Bart's over

00:22:10.860 the Christmas holiday. And actually, and even worse, pre-taping fireside chats when he's wearing a

00:22:18.340 sweater when he's in 33 degrees centigrade temperature on the beach. It is so appalling.

00:22:24.520 But the thing I worry about, Jodie, is that whether or not they make her walk the plank from the board,

00:22:32.800 that's one thing. The other thing, her bread and butter is, of course, selling real estate. 1.00

00:22:37.700 Tamara, do you think she is going to pay an economic price, that she's going to be made out 0.93

00:22:44.920 as some kind of pariah, and that, you know, there'll be an agenda basically dissuading people,

00:22:53.580 sellers and buyers, from doing business with this woman, and truly economically punishing her 0.71

00:22:59.560 for, again, something that wasn't illegal in the first place?

00:23:03.340 Well, I think there's two parts to that. So Jodie is an independent realtor, and she explained to me

00:23:08.580 off camera that the reason why she's part of these boards and organizations is because

00:23:12.780 they give the support to her as an independent that she might otherwise not receive because she's

00:23:19.580 not part of like REMAX or real, the realtor associations. So if she loses that, that's a valuable

00:23:27.400 part and a valuable asset to her business. So that's unfortunate. But I think that although

00:23:33.560 she's received so much hate and backlash, there has been a lot of what we typically refer to as the

00:23:39.560 silent majority coming out silently behind the scenes in support of what she's doing. And I mean,

00:23:45.780 personally, my the realtor that I use in the Northumberland region was one who spoke out against

00:23:52.480 Jodie. And so I'm choosing Jodie. So Jodie's gained a client there potentially in the future.

00:23:59.220 And I know that there's many others that have rallied around her to support what she's doing

00:24:04.300 and support her bravery and speaking out. So it could really go either way. But I think there is

00:24:11.140 a big silent majority here that sadly, we don't see out in doing these witch hunts and these smear

00:24:17.580 campaigns. And those are who will will turn this around. Well, Tamara, we have to wrap it here. But

00:24:23.840 please pass along to Jodie that if I ever need property in that region of the land, and granted,

00:24:29.760 I have to check tomorrow 649 numbers. I will definitely seek out Jodie as the realtor of record.

00:24:39.100 But on a more serious note, it is so sad, though, isn't it that we live in this cancel culture. And as

00:24:45.400 we've seen in the last several days, going back to the raid on Capitol Hill, we've seen none other

00:24:52.620 than the President of the United States being cancelled and de-platformed. I guess if it can

00:24:57.900 happen to a President of the United States, it can happen to anyone, can't it?

00:25:04.080 Who's in control? Is it big tech or elected officials?

00:25:08.080 Yeah, good point. Well, it's going to be a fascinating year. And thank you so much. It was a

00:25:11.940 great interview, Tamara. Thanks, David. Take care. You got it. And that was Tamara Ugolini in Coburg,

00:25:18.860 Ontario. Keep it here, folks. More of a ramble roundup to come right after this.

00:25:27.940 So we're just going to walk over to those police officers, find out what the lay of the land is

00:25:34.540 when it comes to enjoying these hills or not enjoying them as the case may be, and

00:25:38.620 see if there's any would-be sledders that are going to have their toboggan dreams dashed here

00:25:44.760 at Earl Bales Park. I'm just trying to figure out the tobogganing rules here. Going by the front

00:25:51.380 page story in The Sun, evidently, if we walk down beyond the yellow tape, we can toboggan down the

00:26:00.660 last third of the hill. Is that correct? No, the ski hills are closed. So that's why we're here.

00:26:04.480 Oh, even for tobogganists, right? Yes. All ski hills are closed for the province. But if you need

00:26:10.900 any formal statements, you can contact our media relations officers and they can give you all the

00:26:14.740 details you require. Oh, okay. Because I noticed you, are you guys out here looking for illicit

00:26:18.380 tobogganers or? Not illicit. We're just educating our community about what the rules are right now.

00:26:25.120 That's it. I get the feeling you didn't sign up for this kind of a gig officer. I did, actually.

00:26:29.520 Okay. Thank you. But I mean, it just one last question. It would seem to me if we have the

00:26:35.240 resources to have two police officers looking at a toboggan hill, it's almost as though the city is

00:26:40.000 saying no more gun crime, no more homicides, no more drug crime. It's... If you need any official

00:26:45.900 statements, you can contact our media office. Thank you, sir. Okay. Have a good day. And I cannot toboggan

00:26:50.960 down that hill, correct? Okay. Thank you. Okay. Be safe. Thank you. Take care. Well, he was a friendly guy,

00:26:56.340 but he wants us to go to media relations, but I see a tobogganist coming to the hill.

00:27:02.340 Let's see what happens. Hi, I'm David Menzies with Rebel News, and we're actually down here to do a

00:27:08.300 story on this very topic. It was the front page of the sun today that you can't toboggan here.

00:27:13.500 I don't know. It seems like such a shame. I mean, this is a beautiful hill, and there was some

00:27:17.760 confusion the other day. There were bylaw officers saying you could toboggan down the last third of

00:27:22.960 the hill beyond the police caution tape. What do you make of the fact that the city isn't preventing,

00:27:28.600 you know, young guys like this to have a little fun? Oh, well, I mean, they have to do what they

00:27:33.860 got to do, but we just want to, we just wanted to come and enjoy it. We didn't know about it. Maybe

00:27:38.840 if they had put it out in the news, it would help a little bit so we don't waste our time. Yep.

00:27:43.980 Welcome to Pandemic Toronto and the Toboggan Police, ready to slide and protect whenever 1.00

00:27:50.640 necessary. It's hard to believe, but in the name of flattening the Wuhan virus curve, there are

00:27:56.600 actually Toronto police officers keeping a watch on Earl Bales Park in Toronto because, hey,

00:28:02.860 God forbid some kids try to have fun in a frozen wasteland where there's absolutely nothing else to

00:28:10.960 do. In any event, you had plenty to say about this latest slice of virus insanity. Steve Howard

00:28:17.860 writes, I would laugh like hell if the police grabbed their own police-issued toboggan equipment

00:28:23.340 with lights and sirens and chased the tobogganers down on the snow-covered hill and then did a

00:28:29.600 toboggan PIT maneuver, then towed the toboggan to the impound lot. Oh, Steve, please don't give Mayor

00:28:37.580 John Tory any ideas, will ya? Les Wassmund writes, the snow is contaminated with COVID. Yeah, Les,

00:28:46.600 and I'm pretty sure that narrative will be embraced by the powers that be and the media party if

00:28:52.640 illicit sledding continues here in Hogtown. DJ Ochi writes, again, the TTC buses are packed. Why aren't

00:29:01.800 the police pulling them over? All a bunch of polytricks. For God's sake, leave the people alone. Hey, I

00:29:08.760 really like that word, polytricks. And that's what we seem to be getting from our elected leaders these

00:29:15.220 days, folks, especially when it comes to the Wuhan virus. Herb Fedor writes, ridiculous. We are being 0.98

00:29:22.260 told to get outdoors and to exercise, yet at the same time, we are not allowed to do so. Is this confusing

00:29:29.860 to you? It sure is to me. In my opinion, they don't know what they are doing any longer, eh? Well,

00:29:36.520 Herb, I think you are right. Too many elected officials really don't know what they are doing,

00:29:42.500 even though they say they are basing their decisions on science. Yeah, weird science. Nathan

00:29:50.200 Shopayek writes, I actually got excited for a moment because I thought I was going to witness

00:29:56.140 David tobogganing. Well, Nathan, I did have my sled along with me for the caper and that hill was

00:30:02.320 tempting, but the boss implored me not to end up in jail. So, c'est la vie. Canadian deplorable 1.00

00:30:08.820 writes, fresh air, vitamin D, exercise, forbidden. That may help give you a healthy immunity and good

00:30:15.220 mental health. Get in your home and stare at a wall, Communist Canada. Yep, and Premier Ford wants

00:30:21.420 people to stay home baking cherry cheesecake as well. How healthy is that? And Don G writes,

00:30:28.240 welcome to Canada, home of the Canadian Mounted Toboggan Police. Hey, Don G, show some respect.

00:30:35.880 That's the Royal Canadian Mounted Toboggan Police, if you don't mind. Well, that wraps up another

00:30:41.820 edition of Rebel Roundup. Thanks so much for joining us. See you next week. And hey, folks,

00:30:46.080 never forget, without risk, there can be no glory. Good night.
