Rebel News Podcast - Rebel Roundup ｜ Alberta pushes back on gender ideology, Liberals freak out, MAID expansion delayed

00:00:00.000 Well, hello, fellow rebels and our BC correspondent, British Columbia, Drea Humphrey.

00:00:21.520 I'm Tamera Ugolini, and I'm co-hosting with said Drea today, Friday, February 2nd.

00:00:28.660 And I guess happy Groundhog Day.

00:00:30.880 I don't even know if he saw a shadow.

00:00:32.300 I should have checked that out.

00:00:33.840 Do we have an early spring?

00:00:35.000 It feels like in Ontario, at least where I am, that spring, it's just perpetually spring.

00:00:42.760 We've had a few cold snaps, but there hasn't really been much snow.

00:00:47.040 And I suppose this is what the climate alarmist would tell us is climate action.

00:00:53.500 We're living it, climate alarmism and global warming.

00:00:56.640 And Drea, before we get into things, how are you doing over there?

00:01:00.700 Good.

00:01:01.060 Yeah, I see a lot of people online giving thanks to climate change.

00:01:04.440 It's been pretty warm out here.

00:01:06.360 More recently, we have a little snow spell, which means nobody in Vancouver could drive

00:01:10.080 for a few days.

00:01:10.840 But other than that, it's just rain and then good weather.

00:01:14.040 So good.

00:01:14.960 And I just want to say, I'm super excited.

00:01:17.640 You and I are together.

00:01:19.040 Sheila's awesome.

00:01:19.800 But the stars aligned for you and I, the stop classroom grooming queens, to talk about

00:01:25.880 what we're going to talk about in today's show.

00:01:28.060 Yeah, you know, I didn't even realize that that would, yeah, the stars did align in that

00:01:34.280 way.

00:01:35.320 Sheila's traveling, attending to some busy things.

00:01:37.920 David is off today, taking a much needed day of rest.

00:01:41.080 He just goes, goes, goes.

00:01:42.520 So you're stuck with Drea and I.

00:01:44.400 And for those of you who are just joining us today, Fridays are kind of our check-in

00:01:49.900 day to host a live stream, talk about the newsiest news pieces of the week.

00:01:54.220 We used to do this every day, but we found that our mission specialist, David Menzies,

00:01:57.900 was really getting bogged down, being tied to in-studio work when he really does the best

00:02:04.220 work out in the field.

00:02:05.720 Shoe leather journalism, out hitting the streets, you know, asking politicians accountability

00:02:11.060 questions and there was a couple instances where the live stream commitment actually

00:02:15.700 took him away from being able to do that work.

00:02:18.500 So we consolidated these live stream efforts.

00:02:20.980 We're only streaming once a week now, unless there's, you know, an emergency broadcast,

00:02:25.260 which Ezra did one earlier in the week.

00:02:27.960 So that's kind of a play it by ear basis, but otherwise we join you every Friday.

00:02:32.360 We're streaming on a couple different platforms, YouTube, the censorious one.

00:02:37.960 Um, I hope we can keep things tame enough to stay on YouTube because I think that, uh,

00:02:44.580 not affirming gender and pronouns is one of their, like, like hate stipulations somehow.

00:02:52.400 Um, so we'll have to be careful when we talk about some of this gender stuff on YouTube, 1.00

00:02:55.480 or we'll just get off of YouTube altogether.

00:02:57.820 In which case you can head over to Odyssey, Getter, um, or Rumble and join us there.

00:03:04.400 And on Rumble, which I, I prefer that platform over YouTube these days, because a lot of the

00:03:09.800 reports I do are deemed dangerous misinformation by the censorious thugs at YouTube.

00:03:15.600 Um, but on Rumble, you can send us a Rumble rant.

00:03:19.540 And so through a small monetary donation, you have your, a chance to get your comment or

00:03:25.340 feedback or question posed to us here live on air.

00:03:28.200 We will read it and answer it, provide commentary on it.

00:03:31.540 Um, so please head over to Rumble, watch us there if you can.

00:03:35.280 And then of course, uh, if you want to kind of help us keep our journalism afloat, keep

00:03:40.300 the lights on, you know, have, have decent enough gear to be able to do the work that we

00:03:45.820 do and have good quality production, uh, then any little bit that you contribute there really

00:03:52.540 does help us stay afloat.

00:03:54.540 I see, actually, we already have one.

00:03:56.300 So before we get into the show and the topics of today, we'll just read that quickly.

00:04:00.760 And Mark gives $5.

00:04:02.160 Thank you very much.

00:04:03.400 Um, and says, I think David is my new favorite reporter at Rebel News.

00:04:08.820 Sorry, Sheila.

00:04:10.440 Um, likewise, sorry to myself, Andrea, apparently, but thanks.

00:04:14.480 And Mark, David is really a national treasure, isn't he?

00:04:18.100 Um, who doesn't love David?

00:04:19.740 He's just, no matter like how dark and dreary the times seem, he always can swoop in with

00:04:25.340 some of his much needed comedic relief during these dark times.

00:04:30.220 Um, anyway.

00:04:31.380 And the hat, the hat, just the whole image, the whole package.

00:04:35.000 If he was reporting for the left, he would have received so many awards for journalism.

00:04:40.240 So you're right.

00:04:41.100 He's a national treasure.

00:04:42.180 So no, no offense taken, although Tamara and I weren't even mentioned on your apologies,

00:04:48.080 but that's okay.

00:04:49.900 Well, the thing that I love about the Rebel team is that we're all so different, you know,

00:04:54.340 and we all bring our own unique perspective, our own unique angles to the reports, to the

00:04:59.960 field, and just to the platform as a whole, obviously.

00:05:03.400 And so, um, what people might love in David, that they might love also in somebody else

00:05:09.860 or love somebody else for something totally different.

00:05:12.180 So, but David is, he really does deliver that comedic relief that we so need in some of these

00:05:16.980 absurd times that we are living in.

00:05:19.980 Uh, okay.

00:05:20.720 So without further ado, let's get into some housekeeping stuff.

00:05:24.960 So first we have to tell you that we are doing a raid screening.

00:05:31.740 And, um, of course I've closed all of my windows, so I need to source back and open them, but

00:05:37.940 it's coming up February 13th and 14th.

00:05:40.860 It's raid move raid dot movie.

00:05:43.240 You head on over to that website.

00:05:45.920 Maybe we can just pull it up here to share with you what that looks like.

00:05:50.020 So that's our Montreal documentary where, um, we were there on the ground to cover the crazy

00:05:57.300 authoritarian, um, restrictions that were put in place at that time by the Quebec government

00:06:03.320 in Montreal.

00:06:04.920 And, um, they raided our Airbnb.

00:06:08.140 I wasn't present at the time, um, but some of the rebels who were part of that will be there

00:06:12.640 at the screenings.

00:06:13.600 So there's one in Edmonton coming up on February the 12th.

00:06:17.520 And if you head over to raid dot movie, you can see there, there's a link to buy tickets.

00:06:23.540 And then also, uh, we'll be in Calgary at Canyon Meadows cinema, February 13th, the next day.

00:06:29.860 So why not kick off your Valentine's day celebrations with a little bit of a rebel news documentary?

00:06:38.700 Uh, there's, you can watch the trailer there and maybe when we throw to an ad break,

00:06:42.640 during the live stream here, we'll just show, uh, some of the trailers and the teasers that

00:06:46.780 we've put together about documentary, um, yeah, complete overreach by the Montreal police,

00:06:53.420 uh, the Quebec lockdowns, especially most notably the curfew, right?

00:06:56.840 Because the curfew was supposed to somehow keep us safe from COVID.

00:06:59.820 And so we went to report on some of the heavy handed overreach that was being put forward

00:07:06.740 onto the citizens of Montreal and Quebec more broadly.

00:07:11.640 Um, the police cracked down on independent press.

00:07:15.260 And so we have a whole documentary about that.

00:07:17.380 It's, it's really exciting.

00:07:18.640 It's a bit of a thriller.

00:07:20.280 Um, so, so that'll be a lot of fun.

00:07:22.240 I would say, urge everybody to head over there and get your tickets.

00:07:25.320 There was something else, Drea, am I, am I missing?

00:07:28.220 I had some notes.

00:07:29.880 I think that was, um, we just have some awesome merch in there, especially, uh, with the big

00:07:35.180 win we had with the way that the convoy was taken down being deemed illegal, the emergencies

00:07:41.040 act.

00:07:41.520 We've got some nice, uh, trucker gear in there at our beautiful store, rebelnewsstore.com.

00:07:47.140 It's such a easy way to support rebel news.

00:07:50.180 If you're a fan, if you watch our stuff, it's available for free to everyone, but it functions

00:07:54.960 on the small amount of people who actually support us financially.

00:07:58.820 So check out our store, rebelnewsstore.com.

00:08:01.740 There's some of the Hong Kong merchandise I'm wearing, a hold the line shirt as well.

00:08:06.620 So it's, it's just such a fun time to gloat, you know, walk around and wear it.

00:08:10.360 It's like we told you so, right?

00:08:11.760 So, um, and for anyone, any Americans watching too, we have the new, uh, don't mess with Texas

00:08:17.100 shirts coming out have just been released because we have Alexa Lavoie and Lincoln J on

00:08:22.920 the ground right now.

00:08:24.140 Um, you can visit our special website, texasborderreports.com.

00:08:27.780 So they're reporting on the border crisis happening in Texas with the illegal immigrants just flooding

00:08:36.140 in.

00:08:37.000 Um, so yeah, there's some fun new swag there for all of the United States viewers that we

00:08:42.700 have.

00:08:43.000 And of course, Canadians too, if you, uh, just want to support.

00:08:45.340 I'd totally wear that.

00:08:46.760 I would totally wear that shirt.

00:08:48.840 Yeah.

00:08:49.020 Okay.

00:08:50.280 Let's get into some of the news.

00:08:52.380 So, uh, first and foremost, uh, we have Danielle Smith, premier of Alberta, who's just recently

00:08:57.500 on January 31st, I believe it was put out a approximately a seven minute video where she

00:09:02.000 announced a new gender and transsexual policy, uh, that was happening in the province.

00:09:10.080 We won't play the entire clip.

00:09:11.640 Cause like I said, it's about seven minutes.

00:09:13.100 Um, but I thought it was, you know, it seemed very motherly.

00:09:17.240 It was a very loving, um, authentic video that, that expressed just care and appreciation

00:09:26.080 for the youth who are struggling with the complexities of their identity.

00:09:30.060 Um, and, um, in there Smith, you know, she repeatedly acknowledges the biological differences between 1.00

00:09:36.700 men and female, especially males and females, especially as it comes to sports, um, that

00:09:42.740 males are obviously biologically stronger.

00:09:45.620 There's biological realities involved in that, but she also put forward stipulations on things 0.58

00:09:52.140 like gender reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy.

00:09:55.760 So no top and bottom surgery for anyone under the age of 17 and under age 15, no free blockers,

00:10:03.140 no hormone therapy, minors 17, 16, 17 need parental consent for hormones.

00:10:08.560 And they must have a psych, uh, psych approval to do that.

00:10:11.980 Um, she's also to hire an expert in transgender surgery so that adults have access to a surgical 1.00

00:10:20.000 expert and they do not need to be referred out to Quebec something.

00:10:24.500 I didn't realize that anybody in the province who as an adult would like to seek gender reassignment

00:10:29.580 surgery can't actually access that in Alberta.

00:10:32.280 They have to go to Quebec.

00:10:33.800 And so, uh, for some reason, the left is, you know, they're in complete meltdown over

00:10:37.960 this saying, oh, this is an attack DQIAS, 2SL, whatever it is, um, community.

00:10:44.860 And yet here she is looking to hire an expert in that field to provide anybody who is a consensual

00:10:51.080 adult with that expertise in that province.

00:10:55.080 So you can see there.

00:10:56.920 She's done more.

00:10:58.200 Yeah.

00:10:58.640 She's done more for the community, but of course they're losing their minds.

00:11:02.280 And a big part of her policy was about the teachings of gender ideology, sexual orientation, 0.81

00:11:10.120 and basically all human sexuality in the school system.

00:11:14.660 So, um, for, for any of these lessons to happen in class, there has to be explicit parental

00:11:23.240 notification and consensual opt in requirement for any classroom instruction on gender identity,

00:11:31.720 sexual orientation, sexual orientation, and human sexuality.

00:11:34.020 And all third party materials need to be vetted first by the ministry of education before they're

00:11:40.860 approved for appropriateness.

00:11:42.900 That's huge.

00:11:43.900 I thought, wow, that is really, really great.

00:11:46.980 And we'll get to a clip about that specifically in just a minute, because I'm almost done.

00:11:50.960 Um, anybody 15 and under must get parental consent to change their name or their pronoun in the

00:11:58.840 school system.

00:11:59.560 And then 16 and 17 year olds do not need consent, but their parents do need to be notified if

00:12:05.300 they start that social transition at school.

00:12:08.000 Um, she's, she's instituting a counseling project specifically to help people navigating again,

00:12:13.060 the complexities around gender and identity, um, and we'll be developing and, and specifying

00:12:21.060 women's only sports organizations, and perhaps if needed, expanding the co ed or gender neutral

00:12:28.180 division.

00:12:28.660 So I think this is, this is great.

00:12:30.960 I think it's a, a really a happy medium if the left would actually pay attention to what

00:12:35.560 she said, instead of just having a complete meltdown and taking this as some sort of hateful

00:12:39.460 attack.

00:12:39.960 Um, I think this is a really balanced approach, um, to recognize that there are people who

00:12:45.480 are struggling with the complexities of identity while still protecting children who are not

00:12:50.660 able to make these decisions by themselves and may be coerced or, or funneled into doing

00:12:57.640 so without their parents' knowledge or consent, which we see happening, um, and, and protecting

00:13:03.120 women in sports and, and also people who identify as, as transgender, because

00:13:09.420 there's obviously a lot of division that's happening as a result of these complexities.

00:13:15.280 I don't, Drea, what's your takeaway?

00:13:16.520 Because I think it's a great and balanced approach.

00:13:19.900 It's well thought out.

00:13:21.500 It's balanced.

00:13:22.380 And she has so much common sense coupled with love, like you mentioned throughout it.

00:13:27.840 And she makes it very clear that most parents, almost all of them are acting in the best interest

00:13:33.440 of their kids.

00:13:34.160 They love their kids.

00:13:35.100 I'd say they love their kids more than anyone else.

00:13:37.260 And that's what she and the province knows.

00:13:40.480 But in the small cases, the few cases, if a parent does happen to become abusive to a

00:13:46.960 transgender child, then child protection laws will be strictly enforced.

00:13:52.460 And that's another thing. 0.94

00:13:53.520 The left is losing their mind here.

00:13:56.080 And we're going to show a little bit of clips of that.

00:13:58.300 Actually, we can throw to one and talk about it a little bit more.

00:14:00.400 This is my favorite response because of course there was a whole slew of questions from reporters

00:14:06.100 after she did a press release the following day after she had released that video.

00:14:10.700 This was my favorite response.

00:14:12.360 Again, just so much common sense.

00:14:14.020 Let's play it.

00:14:14.500 I can already hear the school officials just dreading the paperwork required to opt every single

00:14:23.040 student into every single lesson that touches on sex education, gender identity, and sexual

00:14:27.800 orientation.

00:14:28.200 I mean, some people might predict that teachers would now avoid those lessons to get around

00:14:32.680 that extra work when they're already so busy.

00:14:34.540 So can you explain why making it harder for children to learn about sexual health is a

00:14:40.560 benefit?

00:14:42.340 Well, I guess if teachers are indeed talking to kids about sex every single day, every day

00:14:50.520 of the school year, then I guess that this policy has demonstrated why we need to put it in

00:14:55.840 place.

00:14:56.200 But if, as I suspect, there is structured education on structured days, then I don't think it's

00:15:03.080 a hardship for schools to say, this is the day that we're going to be discussing issues

00:15:07.980 of sexuality, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

00:15:11.060 It shouldn't be onerous.

00:15:12.620 It actually should be fairly straightforward to be keeping parents in the loop on these

00:15:16.820 issues.

00:15:18.860 Bingo.

00:15:19.980 Like, I love how she responds.

00:15:21.460 But that is an issue that you and I and many of us at Rebel News have reported on, is that

00:15:26.600 there needs to be some standard.

00:15:28.220 Parents need to be in the loop.

00:15:29.620 We're expecting them to learn science, not to be confused that they perhaps are born in

00:15:33.960 the wrong body.

00:15:34.980 I've covered examples of teacher in retaliation and for political motives are intentionally

00:15:40.500 showing drag queen story time to a kindergarten class without telling parents.

00:15:45.600 So now it's like she said, unless they're talking about this all the time, it shouldn't be a

00:15:50.580 problem.

00:15:51.060 And for the ones that are talking about all the problems, well, they're the ones that

00:15:55.040 need to, you know, be in line.

00:15:57.040 And I love that she did that policy.

00:15:59.480 One of the things I'm seeing that I don't even want to say it's the left losing their

00:16:04.000 mind, because when it comes to this issue, I know so many people who have been, you know,

00:16:09.440 even I would say far left on many of the previous issues we've discussed at Rebel News, but they

00:16:14.300 are on board with what she's talking about here.

00:16:16.760 So many of the people losing their mind over this are saying it's against the science,

00:16:22.620 where we heard that before.

00:16:24.080 And it's not against the science.

00:16:26.080 Finland, Sweden, the UK, the reason why all of these places are making these changes is

00:16:31.720 because the science that was relied upon for this, oh, am I not allowed to talk about this

00:16:36.760 Tamarins, for this type of care has been proven to be flawed.

00:16:42.160 And it has it the main problem with the two Dutch studies that are dependent on by WPATH,

00:16:48.140 which sets the regulations basically, for what people should do and care for transitioning.

00:16:54.800 It looked at children who were gender dysphoric from a very young age, they struggled with this

00:17:01.820 from a very young age, they were healthy mentally, they had a strong family support, strong system.

00:17:08.220 So they had been going through this in years, and they had psychotherapy the whole time.

00:17:13.320 So that is the baseline.

00:17:15.800 But flash forward from 2014, when those studies were published, flash forward to now, that is a

00:17:20.900 completely different baseline than who, which kids are seeking these types of treatments and care now.

00:17:27.100 These are kids who are sometimes all of a sudden deciding that they are born in the wrong body.

00:17:32.900 And a lot of them, as we've known, as has been proven, as is science, are struggling with mental health issues.

00:17:39.720 So it's not even the same playing field that's happening here.

00:17:43.280 So that's just one of the things I'm noticing.

00:17:45.840 Yeah, we can't ignore the comorbidities that exist clinically with those who struggle with things like gender dysphoria.

00:17:52.760 And the fact that we're teaching children that they could be born in the wrong bodies, and they aren't perfect just the way they are, whether they're, you know, a little bit strange, or they're not fitting in with your shoebox definition of a girl or a boy, or a boy wants to paint his nails, because his sisters have their nails painted.

00:18:10.240 That this, just teaching children to love themselves, and that we love them for who they are, whoever they're going to be, because they don't even know who they are.

00:18:20.820 This is, it's just absurd to me to think, to think that children and teenagers know anything about who they actually are as people, because their brain is literally still developing.

00:18:30.520 And so that's what I kind of go back to, is just the neurological development and the complexities of identity that anyone struggles with while they're growing up and reaching maturity.

00:18:42.520 And now to know how radical these ideologies can proliferate in something like a school system, again, unbeknownst to parents, is really concerning as a parent.

00:18:54.560 I don't know, I don't know, I have a little bit of an idea what it's like in British Columbia, but here in Ontario, that question is very relevant, because our Ontario curriculum actually stipulates things like SOGI be ingrained into almost every segment of the curriculum.

00:19:09.940 So when that reporter asks, you know, oh, now everybody's going to have to vet everything they say in all their third party materials, that would be a reality here in Ontario, because SOGI, sexual orientation and gender identity is ingrained into the entire curriculum.

00:19:25.140 It's no longer just health and safety.

00:19:27.260 It's in math, it's in science, it is in everything.

00:19:32.600 And, you know, you can see it.

00:19:35.220 It's fluid.

00:19:36.380 Yeah, and that's intentional.

00:19:37.820 It's intentionally done that way.

00:19:39.580 And I was just looking up Alberta's interprovincial immigration reports, and there's an article here from the Calgary Herald.

00:19:46.940 We don't need to pull it up, but it says the Alberta experienced the fastest year-over-year demographic growth of all provinces and territories at just over 4% last year.

00:19:58.680 And that's interprovincial growth.

00:20:01.420 For policies just like this, common sense, rational, balanced policies that parents want.

00:20:06.880 As the left goes into complete meltdown over something like this, the proof is in the pudding that people want it.

00:20:12.540 They're literally flocking to Alberta because of stuff like this.

00:20:17.080 So as the province continues to be successful, grows their demographic with hardworking, dedicated citizens, I think, again, the proof will be in the pudding.

00:20:27.360 And meanwhile, we have, I think she's former NDP leader now, Rachel Notley.

00:20:32.460 She's since resigned.

00:20:33.040 But we have a clip here of her where she calls this an extremist, sorry, she accuses Smith of using extremist politics and calls this pandering to the most extreme elements of her party,

00:20:48.820 which apparently is the vast majority of Canadians who agree that parents should be told things like if their kid wants to socially transition at school.

00:20:57.660 Yeah, so extreme, if their child has a completely different identity.

00:21:01.880 I'm very troubled by what they're talking about.

00:21:07.940 You know, there are complex issues in there, but they have reached in to an area that is broad and complicated around ensuring that a whole range of medical interventions are managed in a way on a sport-by-sport basis that ensures competitiveness.

00:21:27.980 They've reached in and pulled out one example and lifted it up as the dog whistle that this is really meant to be.

00:21:36.200 And so it's very inconsistent.

00:21:38.240 And the starting point for me is that a trans woman is a woman and a trans man is a man.

00:21:46.540 And this is an issue that Danielle Smith is pursuing because of extremist politics, not because there's a massive call for it amongst Albertans right now, I can tell you that.

00:22:04.000 I really believe that this push is, the approach to the sports issue is, as I said, it's not even broad-based and thoughtful.

00:22:14.040 It is very targeted and irrational in its targeting.

00:22:17.800 It doesn't even make sense.

00:22:19.320 So what it is, is it's about pandering to the most extremist element of what remains of the Conservative Party in Alberta.

00:22:29.760 That's what that's about.

00:22:30.780 What remains of the Conservative Party, a sweeping majority government, broad and complicated.

00:22:43.380 I think this is actually a very well thought out, as I've mentioned, succinct, put together policy.

00:22:51.140 This is not inconsistent at all.

00:22:52.980 It's very, very specific.

00:22:55.720 It's very well laid out.

00:22:57.260 And it seems to me like Notley is the one who's troubled and confused because it's very clear to me.

00:23:05.060 And Smith, again, this is a seven-minute video announcement.

00:23:08.980 It's very well done, very clearly laid out.

00:23:12.240 Well, it's reckless not to have a reasonable policy.

00:23:15.980 We're talking about children here.

00:23:17.340 We're talking about changes that are irreversible.

00:23:19.860 We're talking about changes that are being made before children, as we mentioned before, understand who they are.

00:23:24.840 But even understand what sexual experiences they might have in the future and what they need to do that.

00:23:31.920 They don't understand that they might not get their voice back when they go on these treatments.

00:23:35.940 And certainly, how are they able to really comprehend and understand some of the side effects, whether it be the heart issues that are associated with cross-sex hormones or whether it be sterility, things like that.

00:23:48.500 So, it is completely reckless and unloving.

00:23:52.600 That's one of the posts that I've said in response to a city councillor out in Alberta who's losing their mind.

00:23:59.200 I think they're probably going by they.

00:24:01.900 You know, it's that this is the loving, the trans community.

00:24:05.000 And that's what I hate about this message that's pushing back against us.

00:24:08.440 It's that they keep telling trans kids that people don't love them, that people hate them, that these policies are in place to hate them when it's the complete opposite.

00:24:16.420 We care about you so much that we want to make sure when you make this decision, it's the right decision for you and the rest of your life.

00:24:26.020 It's not rocket science.

00:24:27.820 And it's so backwards to come against it, really.

00:24:31.340 Yeah, and it all comes back to informed consent, right?

00:24:33.980 And the more often I hear about some of these stories, and especially the detransitioning stories, is that these children were not given true informed consent.

00:24:44.260 They were never told the repercussions of these therapies, whether that be hormone replacement, puberty blockers.

00:24:50.700 And then, of course, later on, if they go so far, these top and bottom surgeries and gender reassignment surgeries.

00:24:58.960 And so they never knew, as they became mature adults, with their frontal lobe fully developed, that this was the potential fallout of those decisions.

00:25:10.580 And they are not reversible, as they were led to believe.

00:25:14.480 So it's really sad.

00:25:16.080 And I think this is obviously a way to actually protect youth from potentially lifelong damaging effects of doing things like this.

00:25:24.500 But our new novel therapies, I mean, we're living the experiment.

00:25:28.860 We are starting to see the fallout of it, but this is all new and exploratory.

00:25:34.120 So I suppose stay tuned in the next five to ten years, because I imagine there's only going to be more detransitioning stories, the heartbreaking detransitioning stories to hear from.

00:25:43.980 Meanwhile, oh, sorry, Drea. 0.98

00:25:45.740 Well, I was just going to say the UK is almost a little bit ahead of us with this.

00:25:49.940 So we saw out of their number one gender clinic that got shot down, the Tavistock Clinic, that close to a thousand families started suing them.

00:25:59.360 And there's ongoing lawsuits with that.

00:26:01.120 And that's part of why they shut down.

00:26:02.780 So you're right.

00:26:03.840 It's sad.

00:26:04.440 This is experimental.

00:26:05.460 And we're going to have to wait and see.

00:26:06.440 Yeah, and Tavistock is a great example in the UK of the legalities around some of the fallout of these decisions, and I would call them misleadings of children and their families.

00:26:20.500 We do have another clip, but I just want to touch on some of these super chats that we have because they're relevant here.

00:26:25.600 DeMom gives us $5.

00:26:27.340 Thank you very much.

00:26:28.740 Yeah, Danielle Smith. 0.81

00:26:30.040 But what about critical race theory?

00:26:32.340 Yeah, I mean, I think this is the first step to restoring balance and common sense into school policies, and certainly critical race theory, I would think is kind of next on the radar.

00:26:47.880 I feel like this one is more, it's more obvious.

00:26:51.040 It's more obvious that there needs to be some guidelines in place to keep the kids safe, again, in sort of an irreversible thing that they could, that they might do.

00:27:00.300 So this is the starting point, but it certainly does open up the door for more to be changed.

00:27:06.560 And it's showing that they are able to make changes to the school system.

00:27:11.140 One thing I noticed out here in BC, you know, I keep, you know, refreshing to see is, you know, Premier Evie going to come out and say something. 0.99

00:27:18.960 In the past, he's condemned parental rights protesters who've been concerned about this issue in BC.

00:27:24.560 So silence, it's, it's pure silence.

00:27:28.200 Also, Pierre Poiliev is silent, too, last time I checked on it.

00:27:32.480 So I think people are watching and looking and seeing how is this going to be received.

00:27:37.040 I think there's overwhelming support for Albertans.

00:27:40.100 And, and let's not forget what happened in Saskatchewan and stuff.

00:27:43.700 So this is, this is an upper onto that.

00:27:46.120 So I think this is good news and maybe critical race areas to come.

00:27:50.500 Yeah, one can only hope and put the pressure on, right?

00:27:54.280 This came from pressure of parents and the exposure of what this, these ideologies really look like and how they're really being implemented on the ground level in the school.

00:28:05.020 Because here in Ontario, at least, and I gather as much happens also in British Columbia, is that this is really open to the interpretation of the teacher.

00:28:13.260 So these curriculums and these, these implementations are so ambiguously worded that they're open to the interpretation of whoever is going to be teaching them.

00:28:24.100 And so a lot really hinges on who you're going to get at any given year in terms of your teachers and your support staff.

00:28:30.280 And that is a really terrifying thought as well as, as a parent with children who are in the, you know, conventional school system, as well as in alternative schools, is that there's no continue, there's no continuum of education where it's consistent, reliable, you know what to expect.

00:28:51.600 It's open to change every year, depending on the kind of teacher that you have.

00:28:56.020 And this next super chat kind of relates to that.

00:29:00.820 It's a story from, from Calgary, JCMN84 gives $25.

00:29:05.660 Thanks so much for that generosity.

00:29:07.700 Went to Calgary Science Centre last summer with our seven-year-old, young school-age kids running around, staff members wearing pride super capes, and a whole exhibit on contraception IUD slash pills slash condoms.

00:29:23.640 Seven years old.

00:29:24.600 Yeah, it's, it's not surprising at all.

00:29:27.600 And that's why things need to be zipped up a little bit with what is happening.

00:29:32.640 What are the kids learning?

00:29:34.200 We trust, we used to be able to drop our kids off.

00:29:37.260 I have quite an age gap with my kids.

00:29:38.940 I have an 11-year age gap with my kids.

00:29:40.780 No, I used to be able to drop off my kids and be like, okay, what did you learn?

00:29:44.620 And they'd come home and it was academics.

00:29:46.060 And now you just don't know.

00:29:47.800 So it is so good to have that stipulation.

00:29:50.600 And also, I was just reminded when you were just talking about in Edmonton, and I think it happened in Ontario too, where Muslim students were berated after students were like, I'm not going to class during all this pride nonsense. 0.78

00:30:02.800 So it stops that too.

00:30:04.800 If a teacher decides to go rogue and start shaming kids who don't want to be part of sex activism at school, they're going to, I guess, have to have a talk with the parents first and get their consent before they bring it up.

00:30:16.320 So this is just getting us back to, none of this was controversial, like what, I don't know, five years ago, six years ago.

00:30:24.600 So it's just getting back to the basics, really.

00:30:28.340 And science.

00:30:30.900 Away from ideology and back to what we know as fact.

00:30:36.400 JCMN84 gives another 25.

00:30:38.020 Thank you so much.

00:30:39.200 So social messaging everywhere you go.

00:30:42.040 Important to be aware and teach your kids.

00:30:44.180 Sent Adam slash Sheila at rebel and email with pictures.

00:30:48.100 I thought you guys might have been interested.

00:30:50.000 Okay, so that's something.

00:30:51.520 I just want to precursor this with we receive thousands of tips every day.

00:30:57.140 And so if you send an email and you don't hear back, please send it again.

00:31:02.380 Or just try to follow up.

00:31:04.920 Because I know my emails are a mess.

00:31:06.820 And I repeatedly hear from many other rebels that the emails are just a mess.

00:31:11.580 So sorry in advance if we don't get back to you.

00:31:13.560 It's not that we don't care.

00:31:15.080 It's that.

00:31:15.920 Or that we're controlled opposition.

00:31:17.860 Have you ever gotten that?

00:31:19.360 Yes.

00:31:20.900 You didn't cover this.

00:31:23.300 So you're controlled opposition.

00:31:24.340 It's like, no, I just didn't receive it.

00:31:26.520 Yeah.

00:31:26.880 Or I didn't have time.

00:31:27.920 Or there's so much happening in the world.

00:31:29.340 We're such a small shell of a staff that there's no way.

00:31:33.380 We don't have the vast resources of the mainstream media.

00:31:35.580 We cannot get to everything.

00:31:36.940 And that was really hard for me to realize early on.

00:31:40.400 I tried.

00:31:40.860 I tried so hard to literally cover every little thing.

00:31:43.900 And, you know, burnout is real, especially in this industry.

00:31:47.440 And there's just no way we're going to get to everything.

00:31:50.500 And the news cycle these days just moves so incredibly fast that it's impossible.

00:31:54.320 Maybe if we had, you know, billions of dollars of taxpayer-funded mainstream media resources,

00:32:01.200 maybe we could.

00:32:03.200 But, yeah, we are not infinite.

00:32:06.480 Constor 11, sorry, 111 gives $5 and says,

00:32:10.220 If Smith was sincere, she could remove it all by abolishing any programs initiated at the UN, WEF, and WHO.

00:32:19.440 The source of all of our suffering is the UN, the United Nations.

00:32:23.260 It can all be removed with the stroke of a pen.

00:32:28.400 I don't think so, though, because Smith is provincial.

00:32:32.440 And so our ties to those globalist entities are really on the federal level, from what I gather.

00:32:40.220 Maybe that's something that she's looking into, though, because we've seen her do other legislative things that uphold the sovereignty of Alberta

00:32:47.700 and their best interests in defiance of what the federal government would like them to do.

00:32:53.340 So maybe there's something there that she can look into further to facilitate that.

00:32:58.260 But as far as I know, that's more of a federal government thing, and then it kind of trickles down from there.

00:33:04.100 But I could be wrong.

00:33:05.140 Okay, so let's go to this video of Minister Randy Boussineau, who says,

00:33:12.900 I'm glad you said that name.

00:33:15.920 Yeah, and I hope I said it correctly.

00:33:17.380 He calls Smith's announcement our NATO moment as an LGBTQ community, and he needs our allies and champions to stand up against it, of course.

00:33:31.720 This isn't a question about parental rights.

00:33:35.800 This is about keeping kids safe.

00:33:38.100 This is a unilateral ideological move by Danielle Smith and the UCP government to marginalize kids, to other them,

00:33:45.580 and to out not just trans and gender, but non-binary kids, but all queer kids.

00:33:50.500 You're going to go to a school as a young queer kid or a gender-questioning kid and now have to look over your shoulder

00:33:57.140 to wonder which of your other students are going to out you so that they call your parents.

00:34:02.000 Nobody calls you when you join the chess club.

00:34:04.560 Nobody calls your parents when you join the basketball team.

00:34:08.340 Nobody calls your parents when you join the debate team.

00:34:11.200 But now, if somebody thinks you're questioning or queer, they're going to tell the teacher,

00:34:15.240 and the teacher's got to call the parents.

00:34:16.600 That is not the Alberta I want or that we want, and so I can say this to all the youth.

00:34:23.320 We're here with you.

00:34:24.400 We are going to look at every option that we have, and this is our NATO moment as an LGBTQ2 community.

00:34:31.840 An attack on one of our communities is an attack on us all, and I need allies and champions to stand up.

00:34:38.060 We already have the Social Workers Association of Alberta, the Alberta Teachers Association,

00:34:41.640 the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and a gal who's already mentioned that they will start a court. 0.98

00:34:46.600 challenge on board.

00:34:48.500 There will be a rally at the legislature in Edmonton on Sunday.

00:34:52.460 I will be there.

00:34:53.780 And if there's ever been a time in this century for people to stand up for the kind of Canada

00:35:00.540 and the kind of Alberta we want, it's today.

00:35:05.500 Well, hopefully we're going to be there, too, on Sunday, I hope.

00:35:08.860 That's what I call extremism.

00:35:13.580 You have this common sense policy that comes out.

00:35:16.560 Not only does it get labeled exactly what it's not, he's saying it's not about parental rights,

00:35:22.340 which it absolutely is.

00:35:24.000 Parents want to be involved and should be involved in big changes, any changes in their child's life.

00:35:29.880 But he's rallying out the troops, the allies, on this trumped-up, hyped-up lie that this is an attack

00:35:36.860 against what is absolutely a more vulnerable community.

00:35:41.620 So you are hurting these people.

00:35:43.340 You're rallying these people up.

00:35:44.540 And as we've covered many times, what does that usually result in?

00:35:47.500 Often it results in violence from their allies coming out.

00:35:52.420 So that is very extreme. 0.70

00:35:54.960 It's disgusting.

00:35:55.700 Well, and there's so many false equivalencies being drawn in that.

00:36:00.180 You know, the school doesn't notify parents if their kids try out for basketball or chess.

00:36:05.480 The last time I checked, basketball and chess don't lead to suicidal ideation.

00:36:11.800 They don't lead to identity crises.

00:36:14.460 They don't lead my kid down a road that is irreversibly damaging to their body, their nervous system,

00:36:23.640 their hormonal system, their endocrine system.

00:36:26.360 All of the systems of their bodies are quite literally affected by gender reassignment therapies. 0.87

00:36:36.940 Chess didn't do that.

00:36:38.740 Chess cannot do that to a child.

00:36:41.140 Basketball cannot do that to a child.

00:36:43.080 This is a very clearly not at all.

00:36:47.520 This is apples to oranges and really disturbing to hear coming from, you know,

00:36:51.840 a minister that's supposed to have some level of competency, really.

00:36:57.900 Well, and not only that, back to those studies that are the foundation.

00:37:01.200 Again, they chose families that were working well together.

00:37:05.320 How is a family supposed to work well in this situation if the child is completely secluded

00:37:11.420 in their new identity from the family?

00:37:13.160 You are not even giving the parents an option of being there for their child to make their

00:37:18.920 child the most successful while they go through this.

00:37:21.640 You're saying that there might be the odd person, and I will acknowledge that's not going to take

00:37:25.520 it easy, but that is not reason enough to block out all parents in this way.

00:37:31.280 And we've seen the stats that when one child becomes transgender, their friends are more

00:37:35.740 likely to become transgender.

00:37:37.360 So now you have groups of kids who are hiding their identities from the parents by way of

00:37:42.180 adults at the state-funded institution, the people-funded institution run by the state.

00:37:49.020 Yeah.

00:37:49.340 And in response to this, of course, Ontario is not going to follow suit.

00:37:53.280 No, no way.

00:37:54.760 We have a clip here to share with you of Health Minister Sylvia Jones saying that they're not

00:37:59.600 going to make any changes to gender-affirming care, which is primarily government, i.e.

00:38:06.640 taxpayer-funded.

00:38:07.260 We heard yesterday that in Alberta, the provincial government there plans to ban pediatric transgender

00:38:17.940 surgeries for anyone under 17 and hormone treatment for anyone under 15.

00:38:23.420 Can you tell us if Ontario plans to follow these type of measures?

00:38:29.820 We're not making any changes as it relates to gender-affirming surgeries in the province

00:38:34.900 of Ontario.

00:38:35.420 Look, we are very focused on expanding access to service, expanding access to primary care

00:38:41.340 in the province of Ontario.

00:38:43.280 And that's what we will be focusing on.

00:38:45.920 Of course.

00:38:46.820 Well, that's exactly what Danielle Smith did. 1.00

00:38:48.940 She expanded care. 0.98

00:38:50.980 She's bringing in.

00:38:52.320 I can't believe, like you said, they had to go to Quebec.

00:38:55.120 So, yeah.

00:38:57.360 Yeah. 0.97

00:38:57.480 Danielle Smith is this hateful bigot that this is such an attack on the trans community. 1.00

00:39:02.780 Um, why is she bringing in a gender reassignment surgery expert to give that care to people 1.00

00:39:09.940 in the province of Alberta instead of shipping them off to Quebec to receive it?

00:39:13.780 It just doesn't make any sense.

00:39:15.080 Obviously, they didn't watch the video.

00:39:16.360 So, um, and if you have comment to say, just go watch the video first and foremost and formulate

00:39:22.240 your own opinion.

00:39:23.080 Don't take these people's words that they know what they're talking about because, you

00:39:27.660 know, obviously they don't.

00:39:29.120 So maybe we'll just go to a quick ad break and then we'll come back.

00:39:32.040 We'll talk a little bit for a brief, another moment.

00:39:34.480 Um, Trudeau's response when asked about Danielle Smith's new policy and then we'll move on.

00:39:42.020 Hey folks, guess what?

00:39:44.000 I'm coming to Edmonton on Monday, February the 12th, and I can't wait to see our supporters

00:39:49.860 in Wild Rose Country.

00:39:51.580 The occasion is the Alberta premiere of our new documentary, Raid, Montreal's Police War

00:39:58.820 Against Citizen Journalism.

00:40:01.900 You simply will not believe how rebel news reporters were treated in Montreal at the height

00:40:08.100 of COVID-19 madness back in 2021.

00:40:11.880 Indeed, Quebec reinvented itself as a police state back then.

00:40:15.740 And yes, we have the video evidence to prove it.

00:40:19.120 You just won't believe your eyes.

00:40:21.580 All of a sudden, all of the Montreal police were on us like we had done something.

00:40:48.700 Come back with a warrant. 0.99

00:40:50.240 Who are these rogue, dirty cops? 1.00

00:40:53.320 You've got to stop lying. 0.99

00:40:54.440 You've got to stop lying. 1.00

00:40:56.880 You wicked liar. 0.99

00:40:58.440 So why not buy a ticket and say hello to, well, yours truly, as well as the big boss man 0.98

00:41:03.960 himself, that would be Ezra Levent, who will also be in attendance.

00:41:08.100 Here are all the nitty gritty details.

00:41:10.260 The date is Monday, February the 12th, and the venue is Edmonton's Church in the Vine.

00:41:16.820 Doors open at 6pm and showtime is 6.30.

00:41:21.700 After the documentary airs, we will have an audience Q&A session featuring Ezra and myself.

00:41:28.000 Check out the trailer and buy tickets at raid.movie.

00:41:32.760 That's raid.movie.

00:41:35.640 Indeed, what are you waiting for?

00:41:37.600 Come on out and meet us and get a selfie with Canada's most notorious journalist.

00:41:42.360 Plus, we'll tell you all about our upcoming projects and events.

00:41:46.820 Like I said, you just won't believe your eyes when you see how the Montreal Police Service

00:41:51.460 came after us for committing the egregious crime of practicing journalism.

00:41:57.500 Indeed, what are you waiting for?

00:41:59.920 As wrestling legend Billy Red Lines used to say, don't you dare miss it.

00:42:05.580 When Montreal police accost our reporters, you know what they call us?

00:42:10.720 Jew media. 0.94

00:42:11.960 What?

00:42:14.960 Who are you, sir?

00:42:16.300 I'm with Rebel News.

00:42:17.900 I'm not media Jew-ish. 0.97

00:42:19.060 Smash my head on the police SUV.

00:42:49.060 They started expanding the police perimeter as if we're like a COVID crime scene. 0.95

00:42:55.780 They will taser you.

00:42:58.100 They have already arrested one of our reporters.

00:43:00.560 I am doing something today that I have never tried before.

00:43:19.620 Listen up.

00:43:20.380 I'm looking for collaborators in a new and exciting initiative.

00:43:23.360 As you most likely know, YouTube a long time ago demonetized Rebel News and we are 100% viewer-funded.

00:43:32.320 Now, while our supporters are fantastic at helping us cover legal campaigns and special reporting missions,

00:43:38.080 unfortunately, the reality is our day-to-day operational expenses often exceed our income stream.

00:43:44.880 Which is crazy if you think about it because my videos across all platforms attract hundreds of thousands of views

00:43:50.700 and sometimes even millions.

00:43:52.080 So, I want to share that reach with the right partners.

00:43:57.260 If you have a product or business and want to enter a win-win relationship with me,

00:44:02.340 please go to rebelnews.com forward slash ads and fill in the form to let me know.

00:44:08.540 I won't be accepting anyone.

00:44:10.240 I need to believe in your business or product so I can sell it proudly for you.

00:44:16.200 And for successful applicants, I will guarantee a minimum view count.

00:44:20.500 Meaning, even if your ad is published on the less popular reports, we'll keep promoting your business or product until it gets the agreed minimum eyeballs.

00:44:30.180 So, again, if you have a cool company or product that either wants to take advantage of my reach.

00:44:36.200 All right, so now we get a trigger warning.

00:44:48.260 We're about to see the Prime Minister react to Daniel Smith.

00:44:54.200 Will you invite Daniel Smith to meet while she's in Ottawa next week and directly raise your concerns about her gender policy proposals?

00:45:06.320 Canadian parents love their kids and we want the very best for them and we want them to be kept safe.

00:45:18.720 LGBT youth across this country are among the most vulnerable to homelessness, to suicide, to a range of things that can harm them.

00:45:35.480 We need to be there to defend them.

00:45:38.820 We need to be there to protect them.

00:45:41.120 And I know Canadians across the country are doing just that.

00:45:46.060 It is telling that the week after welcoming far-right American Conservative Tucker Carlson to her province to sit with him on stage,

00:45:58.420 Danielle Smith has now moved forward with the most anti-LGBT policies of anywhere in the country.

00:46:06.640 Canadians need to know that the federal government and all Canadians will be there to protect youth.

00:46:19.560 That seemed like a really straightforward yes or no question.

00:46:23.520 And obviously Trudeau didn't even answer the question.

00:46:26.920 Instead, he went off on this rambling blunder about...

00:46:30.440 He didn't even...

00:46:31.260 He just kept the acronym LGBT.

00:46:33.480 I don't think he has the brain capacity to remember anything more and it keeps changing.

00:46:37.900 So it's super confusing for everybody.

00:46:39.660 Can you blame him?

00:46:40.280 I can't do it.

00:46:41.780 He's probably equally as confused.

00:46:43.820 You know, it's funny.

00:46:44.280 Last night I was watching...

00:46:45.780 There was a video put out by CBC Kids.

00:46:48.520 And yeah, CBC Kids, our state broadcaster, puts out videos of CBC Kids for...

00:46:54.500 What do all of the letters stand for?

00:46:57.340 And now it's like 2SLGBTQQ something, something.

00:47:03.640 It's a mess.

00:47:05.720 And then it's plus plus, I think, at the end.

00:47:08.860 Anyway, it's a whole thing now.

00:47:10.780 There's like 12 different letters and numbers in there.

00:47:15.580 But yeah, let's take our most vulnerable youth, if that's what you want to call transgender children,

00:47:20.880 which, you know, if you're Billboard, Chris, you can't even get a definition of what that means.

00:47:25.300 Like, what are transgendered children?

00:47:27.640 If they're so vulnerable, then why are we putting a wedge between them and the school?

00:47:36.060 Why are we leading them down a path to have a wedge between their parents

00:47:41.560 and not being kept in the loop on what is going on with their so vulnerable youth at school,

00:47:49.040 where they spend, you know, almost half of their time?

00:47:51.620 Um, that doesn't seem like it's a recipe for a cohesive approach to helping these vulnerable youth

00:47:58.560 navigate whatever complexity they are going through.

00:48:02.320 That seems like it's going to wedge, further divide them away from their family

00:48:07.320 and this subsequent supports that they can connect with through their families

00:48:12.040 and exacerbate the issue.

00:48:13.980 So if we want to talk about vulnerable children and youth, these school policies

00:48:17.860 and these government policies that leave parents in the dark about the majority of what's going on

00:48:22.820 with their children at school are directly related to making them more vulnerable

00:48:28.100 and more at risk when the parents aren't involved.

00:48:31.320 So the doublespeak here is quite astonishing.

00:48:34.020 And, um, I think, again, they haven't watched the video.

00:48:39.180 They don't, they didn't, they didn't see it for themselves because it's nothing about any of the hate

00:48:43.720 or attack on the trans community.

00:48:46.280 Well, not only that, for him to think that in a week they came up with all those policies is insane.

00:48:52.620 So either he didn't watch it or he just has a script and that's what he was supposed to say.

00:48:56.600 But, uh, again, calling out this connection between Tucker, I shared at swimming, I'm having quite the day

00:49:05.600 during this live stream, I have a new kitten and I don't know what he's doing over there.

00:49:09.240 So sorry about that.

00:49:10.460 He just, anyways, um, so I just shared a picture just to kind of show, I can't speak for Premier Smith,

00:49:16.940 but I can see that she has been looking into this.

00:49:20.040 Uh, she said in question period yesterday that she has a non-binary child in her life,

00:49:25.860 that she's been following, obviously, the situation that's going on here.

00:49:29.320 But this is a picture from one of my Twitter friends, Eva, uh, I called her a friend and

00:49:34.380 then I can't pronounce her last name, but Kralilova.

00:49:37.040 And so she, and then you can see Lois here, her friend here, and James, they went and spoke

00:49:42.920 in November to Premier Smith about these issues.

00:49:46.060 Eva, for example, is a lesbian who stands for the protection of children in this area because 1.00

00:49:50.380 let's face it, a lot of gay people believe that if this pressure was happening to them

00:49:55.180 in schools, they would be transitioned instead of just accepted as gay children.

00:50:00.580 Um, and then Lois, if you go to her page, if you click on her name, which is hyperlinked

00:50:04.540 there, I think she goes by, uh, Lois, the Duchess of Alberta, but she is an Indigenous trans woman

00:50:10.980 who has had so much pain, feels like they went into bottom surgery, were sort of coached into

00:50:17.680 that too soon, and has had so much pain from it.

00:50:20.480 So of course, uh, Lois advocates for safety for children in this area and, uh, Lois actually

00:50:26.980 tried to apply for MAID because of some of the complications with that.

00:50:30.620 So this is an example of who Premier Smith has been speaking to, to as part of coming up

00:50:37.720 with this plan.

00:50:38.580 And then you have people like Trudeau, not even acknowledging that if you rush or let kids

00:50:43.720 make this decision, these can be some of the consequences.

00:50:46.180 And simply having some guidelines in place to ensure that they have more time for their

00:50:50.520 frontal cortex to grow and be developed so they can think and reason their way through

00:50:55.360 this, that is protecting vulnerable children.

00:50:59.060 And the left would have you believe that everything Drea just said makes her a hateful bigot. 0.99

00:51:03.960 Um, I was, I pulled up CBC kids, uh, so they break down every letter and for anybody who

00:51:11.600 isn't aware, and this was actually, I think about seven months ago that they published this

00:51:15.080 CBC kids video.

00:51:16.440 I'm not sure if we can just show you out there.

00:51:17.980 If we can just pause that it's two S L G B T Q Q I P A A plus, just in case you didn't 0.98

00:51:26.820 know.

00:51:27.820 And these kids know their ABCs.

00:51:30.240 CBC kids here took the Liberty to save us all from having to wonder what all of these

00:51:35.780 letters stand for.

00:51:36.620 And they break it down for all of the kids in their audience that they can know and not

00:51:41.580 it all be confused about what every single letter in that denomination means and number

00:51:47.440 actually, because there's a number there too.

00:51:49.040 Right.

00:51:49.760 Um, so there you have it.

00:51:51.140 That's our state broadcaster, our government funded media and the, the work that they're

00:51:56.060 hard, uh, hard at work to do.

00:51:58.200 Um, okay.

00:51:59.620 I think we've spent a lot of time on that.

00:52:01.440 So we're going to move on now and we're running out of time.

00:52:03.980 It's already, uh, almost just, we have, you know, less than 10 minutes left.

00:52:08.580 We'll try to get a few more topics shoveled in here.

00:52:13.280 Um, we have a video from conservative MP, Michelle Frary.

00:52:17.340 She's the shadow minister, um, for families, children and social development.

00:52:22.880 And she presented a petition in the house of commons earlier this week, uh, the highest

00:52:28.440 signed e-petition in Canadian history.

00:52:30.300 I might add, uh, by that was brought forward by her constituent, Michelle or sorry, Melissa

00:52:37.120 Outwater.

00:52:38.240 And it was calling for a vote of non-confidence for the Justin Trudeau liberals.

00:52:42.380 Um, so here, let's play this clip of her actually presenting it in the house of commons.

00:52:47.340 Presenting petitions, uh, the Honourable Member for Peter, for Peter Brook.

00:52:59.220 Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present e-petition 4701.

00:53:05.320 The highest signed e-petition in Canadian history with 387,487.

00:53:12.940 The petitioners state that they have lost confidence in the prime minister.

00:53:20.360 The petitioners ask the state and the current government is not acting in the best interest

00:53:25.380 of all citizens.

00:53:26.500 And the petitioners call upon the house of commons to call for a vote of non-confidence in a federal

00:53:32.120 election 45 days following the vote.

00:53:35.240 Yeah.

00:53:36.240 Yeah.

00:53:37.240 Yeah.

00:53:38.240 Yeah.

00:53:39.240 Yeah.

00:53:40.240 Wow.

00:53:41.240 And you know, there's people.

00:53:42.240 Oh, sorry.

00:53:43.240 I was just going to say, you know, there's people watching that and going, what?

00:53:46.240 I didn't even know there was a petition.

00:53:47.120 I wish I signed still, uh, it's the largest petition.

00:53:52.120 What does, what does that say to the liberals?

00:53:54.120 Like how do they not have their tail between their legs at that point?

00:53:58.120 Exactly.

00:53:59.120 Well, I saw another video.

00:54:00.120 Um, I think, I think either Michelle posted it or someone who was there during the, this

00:54:06.120 presentation of this petition that they actually reserve the petitions until the very end of

00:54:11.120 the day.

00:54:12.120 And so the majority of the politicians have already left the building by that point.

00:54:14.120 Um, so that was unfortunate to learn, but also that until the collapse, until some sort

00:54:20.120 of collapse happens between the liberal NDP unofficial coalition, um, and unfortunately

00:54:26.120 they're just going to back the NDP will just back whatever the liberals want.

00:54:30.120 And so a vote of non-confidence is unfortunately unlikely to proceed unless the NDP grow a backbone

00:54:37.120 and actually listen to the Canadians who obviously want this to happen.

00:54:40.120 So, um, it seems like it's a little bit for show, but it's also showing Canadians that,

00:54:46.120 you know, they're not alone.

00:54:47.120 Maybe if they felt this way or they wanted similarly a vote of non-confidence, it shows

00:54:51.120 them that, Hey, there is a, a, a, a tool in place, whether it's useful really or not,

00:54:58.120 um, to, to exercise your democratic voice and to let it just be known on the record.

00:55:03.120 Hey, this is how many Canadians are so displeased with you that they'd like you to call an election.

00:55:08.120 Um, and I think, yeah, you're right.

00:55:10.120 That number probably represents a fraction of who, uh, would get on board with something like

00:55:15.120 this.

00:55:16.120 Well, I think that's, what's powerful about petitions.

00:55:18.120 Some people say it like, Oh, what is it going to do?

00:55:20.120 It's not going to be the end result.

00:55:21.120 But what's powerful is it is a gauge on the silent majority.

00:55:25.120 There are so many people who don't want to speak out.

00:55:27.120 They're scared of getting fired, whatever, scared, what their parents will think, but

00:55:30.120 they will sign a petition.

00:55:32.120 And that sends a message to politicians about the votes.

00:55:35.120 And that's where the power is.

00:55:37.120 It can change the perception and the reality or false reality that people who are the lawmakers

00:55:44.120 think is happening based on all the propaganda they see around them.

00:55:47.120 And Bud Light would be an example.

00:55:49.120 You think it's a good marketing move.

00:55:50.120 It's like, no, it's not.

00:55:51.120 So a petition is that gauge.

00:55:53.120 I think they're very powerful.

00:55:54.120 And that that's going to be speaking to the party.

00:55:57.120 I think it would cause some division for sure.

00:55:59.120 Mm hmm.

00:56:00.120 Well, and in 45 days, that was just presented, I believe, on January 31st.

00:56:05.120 So as Ferreri mentioned, of 45 days to respond and we'll see what happens.

00:56:13.120 Moving along, we have our federal minister of health, Mark Holland.

00:56:17.120 What a gem.

00:56:18.120 He has announced a three year extension for MAID that's medical assistance in dying, otherwise

00:56:24.120 known as government sanctioned euthanasia.

00:56:27.120 He did the three year extension for MAID in cases where mental illness is the sole underlying

00:56:36.120 cause.

00:56:37.120 So they're putting a temporary pause on this and they cite system unpreparedness, apparently.

00:56:45.120 But we have a clip here of him saying that.

00:56:48.120 Good morning.

00:56:49.120 I just had an opportunity to table legislation with respect to mental to medical assistance

00:56:56.120 and dying where mental illness is sole underlying cause with a three year extension.

00:57:05.120 It will allow in two years for there to be a parliamentary review to assess the state of readiness of the system at this time.

00:57:11.120 I can say that I have communicated with all of my provincial counterparts.

00:57:17.120 I haven't had an opportunity with my territorial counterparts on this, but their response was very favorable, as I think you'll hear.

00:57:24.120 They really do feel that they need more time to be able to look at this.

00:57:29.120 I will state again that the question at issue here is a question of readiness.

00:57:34.120 We accept equivalency in the suffering of mental suffering and physical suffering.

00:57:41.120 And of course, here we're talking about mental illness.

00:57:43.120 It shouldn't be completed with mental health concerns.

00:57:47.120 I don't understand that as a mental health professional, what he means by that, but this is just evil.

00:58:06.120 I'm going to call it for what it is.

00:58:07.120 What it is, this is just pure evil.

00:58:09.120 And I'm so thankful for the delay.

00:58:12.120 It's an answer to prayer.

00:58:13.120 So I am so thankful in whatever shape or form it's coming.

00:58:16.120 It's very concerning.

00:58:17.120 It gives the people time to push against it.

00:58:21.120 But you can see they're doubling down like this isn't about whether or not we should or should not do it.

00:58:26.120 It's just, we're not ready to start killing people.

00:58:28.120 And, you know, basically you do eugenics on who's feeling suicidal at the time, which is so many people for so many reasons.

00:58:36.120 So many people who feel it for two weeks, two months, and don't feel it ever again sometimes in their life,

00:58:42.120 especially when they have the right medical professionals in their team and the right support system.

00:58:46.120 And that's where the energy should be going into from a government. 0.99

00:58:50.120 This is, this is an attack on the people.

00:58:53.120 Yeah.

00:58:54.120 And this was originally this stipulation where mental illness is the only condition needed to, to, to get on the list and, and be applicable for made again, government sanctioned euthanasia was supposed to roll out in the next couple of months.

00:59:13.120 It was supposed to be ready by early 2022.

00:59:15.120 2022.

00:59:16.120 So this year, and because of the pushback, and I think, especially because medical professionals pushed back and said, Oh, whoa, whoa, like what, there is no clear guidelines on this.

00:59:27.120 What's the policy around this?

00:59:29.120 What are the stipulations?

00:59:31.120 Which seems to be right.

00:59:34.120 As I've kind of mentioned already throughout this stream, the liberal way there's throw out some sort of ambiguously worded thing and hope that somewhere along the wall, it sticks.

00:59:43.120 And so I think it was the collaborative efforts by Canadians who are concerned, but also medical professionals who said, we're not ready to start doing this.

00:59:51.120 This is going, this is going to be a mess.

00:59:53.120 And that shows you that when people push back in that capacity, that works.

00:59:58.120 And so, so they're listening to some extent, it seems, and will at least be so, so they're saying pausing this policy, I think there will be a change of government before anything like this moves forward, which may be intentional.

01:00:15.120 So, yeah, it's good news for the Canadians who would otherwise be seeking this kind of care.

01:00:23.120 And if anybody wants to learn anything more about this, Sheila has really taken on the breadth of this kind of reporting.

01:00:30.120 We have a documentary currently ongoing.

01:00:33.120 They're filming called MAID, so Medical Assistance in Dying the Dark Side of Canadian Compassion, right?

01:00:39.120 Because this is all being done under the guise of compassion and care.

01:00:43.120 Same with the trans stuff. 0.97

01:00:44.120 This is all done under the guise of compassionate care.

01:00:47.120 And so I can't remember, I think it's just maidedocumentary.com is the URL that we're using.

01:00:53.120 But anyway, if you just go to our site, you can find out more there about it.

01:00:56.120 And if you want to support it, and of course, be kept in the loop as it develops, you can do that at the website there.

01:01:03.120 And I just want to point out one important thing about, you know, sharing that trailer around with other people is that I know a lot of medical professionals who don't even know.

01:01:13.120 And mental health professionals that don't even know that this is on the table.

01:01:16.120 They still don't know it.

01:01:18.120 And they're shocked when they find out.

01:01:20.120 Like, when I tell them, they're like, what?

01:01:22.120 Like, so please share the trailer as well.

01:01:25.120 So other people who want to get involved and fight against this can.

01:01:29.120 Yeah.

01:01:30.120 And, you know, the other thing, and we're up against the clock again here, but another thing that I want to mention here about compassionate care is also the idea of harm reduction and safe supply.

01:01:41.120 And we'll just maybe touch on, you know, one or two of these.

01:01:45.120 Maybe we'll show this clip, actually, of Melissa Lantzman, where the Minister of Mental Health and Addiction was silent when pressed about, that's Yara Sachs here in Ontario, was pressed about this idea, or this policy rather, of giving fentanyl to minors, children.

01:02:09.120 And this is happening in British Columbia primarily, but without their parents' knowledge or consent.

01:02:15.120 So we'll just sort of this quick clip.

01:02:17.120 We'll talk about it for a minute, and then we'll wrap this up, I think.

01:02:20.120 The Canada.ca website says very clearly, a few grains can kill you.

01:02:25.120 Is that appropriate?

01:02:26.120 So, Mr. Chair, my colleague did ask this question before, and I believe we've already tabled all the proofs on safer supply, and I'll be happy to table them again for further reference.

01:02:35.120 That's not the question, Minister. My question is, do you think you should be giving an incredibly potent synthetic opioid, of which a few grains can kill you, to children?

01:02:44.120 Yes or no? Simple.

01:02:46.120 Each physician works with their patient on the treatment protocols that work best for them.

01:02:52.120 That is a very unique and important relationship that every patient should have.

01:02:55.120 Thank you very much, Minister.

01:02:57.120 The Canada.ca website says very clearly.

01:03:01.120 Yeah.

01:03:02.120 Again, yes or no question.

01:03:04.120 Just not able to answer yes or no.

01:03:07.120 Meanwhile, happening in your province, British Columbia, Drea, they call her the top doctor, I think.

01:03:14.120 Bonnie Henry, right?

01:03:15.120 Yeah.

01:03:16.120 And I don't even think she's ever seen a patient in her life.

01:03:18.120 But anyway, we'll go with it.

01:03:20.120 She has seen patients, but not for a while.

01:03:23.120 Oh, she has?

01:03:24.120 Okay.

01:03:25.120 Good.

01:03:26.120 Because a lot of these medical officers of health.

01:03:27.120 In certain contexts.

01:03:28.120 She was a military doctor, right?

01:03:30.120 So, she would have saw patients there.

01:03:33.120 She backs the safer, right?

01:03:35.120 It's supposed to be not safe, but safer.

01:03:37.120 Supply program, despite concerns about diversion.

01:03:42.120 Do you want to speak on this?

01:03:45.120 I know there's a little clip here from Bonnie, but I think it's pretty long.

01:03:49.120 Well, yeah.

01:03:50.120 I mean, it was called safe and then now they're saying it's safer because it's not so safe.

01:03:55.120 But I just have some stats here.

01:03:57.120 I mean, you can have the article up there, but I just have some stats from the BC Emergency

01:04:02.120 Health Services.

01:04:03.120 And for example, in June 21st, and this is, of course, after the rollout of the safer too,

01:04:09.120 right?

01:04:10.120 We had 221 overdoses in a single day to be called.

01:04:15.120 And so, you have our top doctor supporting these, I would call them, experimental things

01:04:24.120 that we've never done and allowing it with children.

01:04:27.120 And not only that, she knows that the safe supply is ending up in kids' hands.

01:04:32.120 That's what that article is saying, that it's being diverted.

01:04:35.120 It's being sold.

01:04:36.120 That's what's happening.

01:04:38.120 And just a mention of Aaron Gunn, who did a documentary called Vancouver is Dying.

01:04:43.120 And he's actually running for a bid in the Conservative Party now.

01:04:48.120 He pointed that out a long time ago.

01:04:50.120 And now you have even the legacy media talking about it.

01:04:54.120 And she knows this and she's still backing it in a province where the number one killer

01:04:58.120 of the 10-year-olds and up is drug overdoses.

01:05:02.120 So again, this is sick.

01:05:04.120 This is evil.

01:05:05.120 I'll just call it for what it is.

01:05:07.120 Yeah, I did a deep dive into this strategy, the Canadian drug use strategy that was implemented

01:05:14.120 in 2017 on the federal level.

01:05:16.120 That followed the 2016 declaration by the province of British Columbia of state of emergency

01:05:22.120 due to the overdose crisis.

01:05:25.120 And I think that if we just show that article on screen there.

01:05:30.120 So they dedicated $1 billion to this federal program since 2017.

01:05:38.120 And it has been unable to ascertain any sort of tangible outcome or benefit or any decrease

01:05:46.120 in either drug use, illicit drug use, and or overdose or overdose deaths.

01:05:53.120 And since that time, the data on opioid and stimulant related harms show that opioid toxicity deaths

01:06:03.120 in Canada reported so far, this was in 2023, were 5% higher compared to the same period

01:06:10.120 in 2022.

01:06:11.120 And that was in, sorry, I'm just getting lost here in my own words.

01:06:17.120 And the vast majority of those opioid deaths occurred in your province in British Columbia.

01:06:23.120 And again, as I mentioned, they implemented that state of emergency in 2016.

01:06:28.120 And since that time, since they instituted the state of emergency to apparently offer harm

01:06:33.120 reduction and safer supply, illicit drug deaths have nearly tripled.

01:06:38.120 There were 994 opioid related deaths in 2016 versus 2,293 in 2022.

01:06:47.120 So what do the governments do about all of this?

01:06:50.120 The clear indication that their policies are failing and not actually reducing any harm

01:06:54.120 or offering any sort of safer supply.

01:06:57.120 They're going to increase their funding.

01:06:59.120 So the feds have gone additional funding through the Canadian drug strategy.

01:07:04.120 And they're buckling down.

01:07:08.120 They're going to continue to just throw money at a program that's obviously not helping anybody.

01:07:15.120 And there's so many that are dying and being brought back to life by Narcan, which is great.

01:07:20.120 But just imagine how many resources we have limited ambulances.

01:07:24.120 So the paramedics are coming out and doing that.

01:07:26.120 Vancouver alone, not West Vancouver, not North Vancouver.

01:07:29.120 Just Vancouver had over 10,000 overdoses last year.

01:07:33.120 It's completely out of control.

01:07:35.120 I think overdoses have gone up 34% in 2023, something crazy like that.

01:07:40.120 So these policies are not helping.

01:07:43.120 They are hurting.

01:07:44.120 They are harmful.

01:07:45.120 And there is pushback against it.

01:07:48.120 Both the BC United is pushing back.

01:07:51.120 And of course, the Conservative Party of British Columbia are both really pushing back on these policies and saying, like, enough is enough.

01:07:59.120 It's enough.

01:08:00.120 So we'll see.

01:08:01.120 Yeah.

01:08:02.120 And the more I've started to look into this and dig into it, it sounds like Narcan is no longer strong enough because these chemical, these synthetic drugs keep getting stronger and more potent and stronger and more potent.

01:08:15.120 And Narcan no longer has the capability to counteract the effects of these increasingly potent drugs.

01:08:22.120 Synthetic, highly synthetic drugs.

01:08:24.120 Yeah, it's getting less effective.

01:08:25.120 Yeah.

01:08:26.120 And, you know, all of this kind of to wrap up the live stream and something I also keep going back to in some of these reports, whether it be on the COVID narrative, the injections, the trans madness, the MAID program, this idea of harm reduction and safe supply. 0.81

01:08:44.120 Do you know who benefits the most out of all, off of all of this, out of all of this?

01:08:49.120 It's big pharma.

01:08:51.120 All roads lead back to big pharma.

01:08:54.120 They are benefiting the harm reduction and safer supply on both sides of the coin.

01:08:58.120 They're doing the Narcan and they get to manufacture the drugs, the synthetic ones that are meant to be safer.

01:09:05.120 And the trans, the surgeries, they're profiting through the medications and also the continued medications that are needed post-surgery and post-hormone treatment and these sorts of things.

01:09:16.120 Lifetime patients.

01:09:17.120 Benefiting.

01:09:18.120 Yeah, these, it's exactly it.

01:09:20.120 It's not about creating cures.

01:09:22.120 It's about creating customers.

01:09:24.120 And so all of these things really tie in together when you look at who's profiting at the end of the day, and it is big pharma, it's consultancy firms, it's by way of connection, some of these government officials.

01:09:37.120 And so that's something to keep in mind moving forward is who's truly benefiting from what is being implemented here.

01:09:47.120 Is it you, the Canadians?

01:09:48.120 Because the more you look at it, it's not.

01:09:51.120 Yeah.

01:09:52.120 Absolutely.

01:09:53.120 And on that depressing note.

01:09:55.120 It's not a depressing note because you should be informed, you know, be skeptical, be aware, get informed, look at who some of the players are and just think about that.

01:10:06.120 You know, who profits from this?

01:10:08.120 Who's benefiting from all of this?

01:10:10.120 Because it doesn't seem like it's me, the little guy, but, and send us your tips.

01:10:15.120 Even if you don't hear back, we're sorry in advance, but we receive a lot of them every day.

01:10:20.120 And with that, we're 10 minutes over.

01:10:22.120 Thank you so much, Drea.

01:10:23.120 It's always a pleasure to, to be live with you and discuss some of this stuff.

01:10:27.120 I think that we have, have good conversation around it, similar views.

01:10:32.120 And, um, it's always a good time to be on the live stream, but also joined by you.

01:10:37.120 Thanks to everybody at home who sent us a rumble rants or super chats, whatever they're called these days.

01:10:42.120 And for supporting our work and our efforts on, on the ground, you know, obviously none of this would be possible without our viewers and the generosity of you at home.

01:10:51.120 So thank you for that.

01:10:52.120 Thanks to everybody in the back background here, super producers, Olivia and Efron, our web team that gets all of the links ready for us and the verbiage up on the website and on various social media platforms, post this stuff.

01:11:05.120 We're the kind of the face here, but there is a whole team behind us working diligently as well to make sure that this gets out to you, the viewer.

01:11:12.120 Um, with that, have a great weekend and we will see you next Friday, same place and time.

01:11:21.120 The decision to pause the maid expansion, uh, yesterday, the CEO of CMHA Waterloo Wellington told us, uh, that there is not equal access to mental health care here.

01:11:31.120 Over 3,400 people are waiting for care in our area and they need a fair shot at this treatment before making a decision on maid.

01:11:38.120 Uh, so just wondering what your thoughts on those comments are.

01:11:41.120 I agree with those comments entirely.

01:11:43.120 We need to make sure we're delivering better quality mental health care across this country, uh, for people who are, uh, facing very, very real challenges.

01:11:53.120 We've seen an increase, uh, in the challenges faced by Canadians around mental health and that's why we're going to continue to be there.

01:11:59.120 We just announced $200 billion, uh, for the provinces, uh, over the next 10 years on health care with a focus on three areas.

01:12:08.120 A focus on, uh, more primary care practitioners, a focus on better support for health care workers across the country and a significant focus on better mental health care across the country.

01:12:21.120 And we're making sure that provinces actually deliver on those things and deliver results for Canadians with a level of accountability and data shared with Canadians that's going to transform the results, uh, for, uh, for, uh, for Canadians and communities across the country.

01:12:38.120 So we will continue to be there to step up, uh, for Canadians, particularly around mental health, because we know how important it is.
