00:27:10.140you're feeling we'll hold space for all of it what does even holding space mean quit with the
00:27:15.220therapy jargon you weirdos um and then we have of course rachel gilmore she is uh independent
00:27:25.400journalist now i suppose i don't know i think maybe she might get some funding from somewhere
00:27:31.240oh like the federal government yeah i'd bet on that yeah she used to work for uh was it global
00:27:37.880then she got five she was a global fact checker but constantly lying and i think ctv as well and
00:27:44.280it lasted like three days or something yeah ctv lasted three days um because she's the one who
00:27:51.640said here's how to talk when she was over at global i think it was here's how to talk to
00:27:56.200your unvaccinated uncle at thanksgiving you don't talk to him he doesn't want you to talk to him0.52
00:28:01.680you're the niece he doesn't want to hear from you're the niece he tolerates um anyways they
00:28:07.700fired her from there she went over to ctv as a fact checker but being someone unfamiliar with
00:28:12.560reality that didn't last very long this is her reaction on uh election night and again sorry
00:28:19.300language he uses fripbc those poor orcas are dead why lauren dirksen lauren dirksen the first day
00:28:30.420after he was elected you know what he did got himself his handy dandy harpoon and headed down0.92
00:28:35.940to the pier you crazy lady like what do you think he's gonna do to the orcas is she confusing british0.63
00:28:42.900columbia with marine land niagara falls uh sheila where she said nothing about that yeah the where0.94
00:28:49.180the beluga is being transferred i think we're up to six dead so far so way to go there i gotta say
00:28:55.000sheila um i only know you and lady menzoid as followers of rachel gilmore that i don't follow
00:29:02.200her i believe i'm completely blocked and the reprieve is delightful but i do see her screen
00:29:08.740captured and reposted by other uh intrepid i guess uh anthropologists into her madness online
00:29:18.420yeah i i don't get the fascination with lady menzoid it's rachel gilmore for lunacy which i1.00
00:29:24.940can do without and uh the only other one is sydney sweeney because lady menzoid is obsessed with her1.00
00:29:31.180breasts which is kind of scaring me i'm thinking maybe two of you i think she's switching teams on0.99
00:29:39.080me you know what beauty is objective you appreciate beauty wherever you find it but perhaps
00:29:45.420talking about this um this is a statement from the alberta government today and i remarked on
00:29:53.260the live stream that night that uh a new day is dawning in collaboration between the what i would
00:30:00.800call the Western block of provinces on energy infrastructure, because BC's obstructionist
00:30:06.340policies will end with Dirksen. If you listen to his speech, he talked about mining,
00:30:12.880doubling gas production, milling, fishing, farming, like the works, fully embracing the resource
00:30:19.760economy. And, you know, like most of northeastern British Columbia acts as an extension of the city
00:30:26.680of Grand Prairie, Alberta. It's the peace region gas field up there. And so today the province of
00:30:38.700Alberta made a statement saying it's time to end the tanker ban. So they issued a statement to
00:30:47.480to the Prime Minister's office. Alberta supports private members bill C-264 to repeal the federal
00:30:59.420oil tanker moratorium act and remove barriers preventing our responsibly produced energy from
00:31:04.740reaching global markets. And then they go on to talk about, you know, the differential discount
00:31:10.360that the Americans are getting because we don't have open access to international markets.
00:31:17.480And so our price is largely set by the Americans.
00:31:20.580And I'm sure that we will see a statement very shortly in support of this from Lauren Dirksen, who has a strong mandate and who campaigned on resource development.
00:31:46.140You would think. But also, the Prime Minister gave British Columbia a veto on the MOU. So he was saying, and I think that's, you know, his poison pill in the whole works is, oh, yeah, believe me, I definitely want Alberta's oil to get to market.
00:32:05.060But also, here, First Nations organizations, not First Nations people themselves, but activist groups.
00:48:49.640Is she trying to emulate Lauren Dirksen's amazing entrance0.99
00:48:54.560onto the stage with the pyrotechnics when he won
00:48:57.540and he played Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow,
00:49:00.800which is a song that everybody knows David Eby hates?
00:49:03.760Is it like, what's with the smoke machine behind there?
00:49:06.020I thought she was channeling the great Wizard of Oz, Sheila, right? Paying no attention to that person behind the curtain. But I'm sorry, I don't want to be mean, but why is it every time I hear Olivia Chow speaking, I think of the SCTV character Lin Yee Tang?
00:49:25.680And of course, I'm not going to do a Lidke-Tang impression because I would be condemned by the left as a racist.
00:49:46.720um it's funny that we've been plagued by as david said uh technical gremlins the entire time and the
00:49:56.520one thing the one video that we're able to get to roll is the one where it's basically an audible
00:50:03.520uh olivia chow but at the same time um she's basically inaudible most times of her life um
00:50:12.380um olivia says she'd like to wrap shortly because she'd like to deal with the tricaster issues
00:50:17.200before we do the live stream tonight but there's one thing that is it's a text-based thing so we
00:50:22.460can show it to you and you won't have uh audio problems here and this is from the national post
00:50:28.700and i have a little project uh that i'm working on called parole watch and justice watch two
00:50:35.200different things where uh i show how certain offenders are getting reduced sentences for
00:50:41.460certain reasons that run contrary to the public interest and public safety. And it appears as
00:50:48.080though Tristan Hopper, of whom I'm a fan, over at the National Post is doing something similar,
00:50:53.340at least he did here. Olivia, can you show that? First reading, 15 days, 15 identity-based criminal
00:51:00.920sentences. Roughly every day a Canadian criminal is getting a reduced sentence because of their
00:51:05.720race. And I'm doing my best to cover as many of these as possible. Two today over at Justice0.99
00:51:10.400watch. One got a reduced sentence for nearly murdering somebody in the driveway, sabbing,
00:51:19.140and got a conditional sentence, I guess. And the other one was an immigrant who got0.98
00:51:25.420a conditional sentence also because being convicted would, of course, hurt his immigration
00:51:31.500status but from here um the the um the supreme court of canada had barely convened for its fall
00:51:42.940session when it upheld a decision ruling that a nova scotia man who badly beat his girlfriend
00:51:46.860should receive a reduced sentence because he's indigenous but here is the clash of who is more
00:51:54.100of a victim and in this case it wasn't the actual victim his badly beaten victim is also indigenous
00:52:00.460But in a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that an Indigenous man's right to be spared excessive imprisonment outweighed an Indigenous woman's right to be spared from unacceptably high levels of violence and abuse.
00:52:10.940So they actually side with the offender over the victim when both offenders or when both subjects, I should say, are Indigenous.
00:52:22.560If a criminal is Indigenous, they're provided with a GLAADU report itemizing the various traumas of their marginalized background.0.79
00:52:29.180And lots of these times, these traumas aren't actually even tangentially tied to them and how it reduces their moral blameworthiness for a crime.0.67
00:52:39.100If they're black, they're given an impact of race and cultural assessment, which breaks down how systemic racism influenced their decision to break the law.0.69
00:52:47.940If they're a non-citizen, a judge may consider the immigration consequences of a conviction and assign a letter sentence than would be received by a citizen who had committed the same crime.0.72
