00:00:30.000 Oh, hey, good afternoon, everybody. Good morning, if you're in the West. This is Rebel Roundup,

00:00:47.680 our painfully live show, where we talk about the news of the day. Completely unscripted. We had

00:00:53.020 a couple of technical difficulties before we jumped on the stream, but I think we have it

00:00:57.180 sorted out. I'm your regular host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, who was indeed the technical problem. 0.87

00:01:02.160 And today, I'm joined by my friend and colleague, Tamara Ugolini, in beautiful Coburg, Ontario. And

00:01:08.440 boy, Tamara's fighting to keep it that way. Tamara, how's it going?

00:01:12.340 Yeah, pretty good, Sheila. Just happy to be not the person causing the technical difficulties today

00:01:16.780 with my lagging rural connection. You're supposed to be musk to the rescue over there. 1.00

00:01:22.720 Yeah, I don't know. I have about a two-second lag on my stream also, so that will prove to be

00:01:32.980 difficult. You're probably going to hear some overtalk from us, for our dear and fortunate

00:01:38.360 viewers. But let's get right into it. Let's tell everybody what we're doing today, because

00:01:43.480 we're already seven minutes late. Tamara, you want to take this over? 0.79

00:01:47.960 Yeah, of course. So if you're joining us, this is our daily stream, as Sheila mentioned,

00:01:52.960 where we are sometimes painfully live, including technical difficulties. Today, we're going to

00:01:58.100 chat about the bomb threats that happened across the country today, some things to do with Alberta's

00:02:02.820 police force. And of course, vaccine injury support program failures has hit the mainstream,

00:02:09.500 despite my years of original reporting on the topic. So we're going to chat about all of that.

00:02:14.620 And you can find us streaming on a couple different platforms. We are on YouTube,

00:02:18.980 Rumble and X. And if you feel so compelled to support our work and also get involved with the

00:02:26.840 show yourself, you can give us what is called a Rumble rant, obviously on Rumble, or on YouTube,

00:02:33.460 a super chat. Or in hindsight, if you're watching after we've gone, we're no longer live,

00:02:40.200 then you can give us a super thanks. And so when we are live, it's a $5 or more donation where we

00:02:47.000 will read your comment tip or trick live on air, and provide some commentary, or just share your

00:02:54.060 viewpoint with the viewers who are also watching live. So it's a great way to support our work,

00:02:58.560 also have your voice heard, and keep kind of that open dialogue going. Or maybe you have a perspective

00:03:03.620 that we haven't considered, and would like to have it featured. So we always welcome those super chats,

00:03:11.000 super thanks, Rumble rants, whatever platform that you prefer to join us on.

00:03:16.560 Now, right off the hop, why don't we get into some of Canada's immigration problems,

00:03:22.980 which came to a head this morning, as ground operations were, well, quite literally ground to a

00:03:29.580 halt at six Canadian airports. Airports have since returned to normal. But the breach happened,

00:03:38.860 I mean, depending on your time zone around 7am this morning, and it halted service at various locations.

00:03:47.800 Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver.

00:03:52.740 Yeah, that comes from a Nav Canada spokesperson. This we're pulling from City News for this

00:04:02.060 News Jack. But basically, they say that despite the security threat that happened this morning at

00:04:07.600 multiple Nav Canada sites, i.e. our airports, all operations have now returned to normal. And this

00:04:15.980 came, you know, they're investigating this security incident, as they call it. And operations, of course,

00:04:23.100 have since been disrupted. And so several flights, welcome to Canada, nothing new there. But several

00:04:29.400 flights have been delayed. And the investigation, I guess, is ongoing after this, what they call small

00:04:36.700 impact on operations. So the calls came in, yeah, as it says right here, around 7am Eastern.

00:04:44.460 Yeah, of a specific bomb, specific area of the airport, of a bomb threat, and then, and then they

00:04:54.340 undertook a targeted evacuation to conduct checks. And so far, nothing suspicious has been found. So

00:05:01.620 of course, it sounds like it was an empty threat. But nonetheless, you have to take this seriously. And

00:05:05.760 I mean, this is what happens when you import the third world into Canada without checks or balances in 1.00

00:05:10.980 place, lose a bunch of people who should be deported upwards of maybe half a million of them. And I

00:05:17.940 guess, just just kind of hope that the kinks work themselves out and hope for the best, as is the 1.00

00:05:22.220 Liberal government's way.

00:05:25.620 Yeah, they say the investigation is ongoing airport activities have continued and have not been disrupted

00:05:30.460 by this. That's a weird way to say that we had to evacuate parts of the airport, including

00:05:36.220 the control tower at the Trudeau International Airport, which is a major international hub into

00:05:43.000 Canada. The NAVCAN control tower was evacuated, and flight operations have since resumed. Now,

00:05:50.340 they say in Edmonton, the security incident had minimal impact on operations, including a handful of

00:05:55.860 delays. But that's because it happened at 5am. And I think central security there doesn't really open

00:06:03.420 until 5am, if I recall correctly, because I have to take those hideous early morning flights.

00:06:09.120 But, and likewise with Calgary, just because of the time zone issues, Vancouver probably as well. But

00:06:16.560 they're not giving us a ton of information outside that this was a bomb threat. Now, I'd like to know

00:06:24.160 what the bomb threat was about, if indeed the person said. But it seems like they're keeping

00:06:32.980 a pretty tight lid on this. I wonder if this is one of those things where we'll only find out it was

00:06:39.260 actually, perhaps ISIS motivated terrorism at sentencing. Like what we're finding out with

00:06:45.840 the knife slasher in Vancouver.

00:06:50.840 Yeah, two or three years too late, it will come out in the news. And I mean, this comes the very next day

00:07:00.100 after the Toronto Sun article, headlines, lax immigration vetting makes Canada prime target for Iranian

00:07:06.900 infiltration, says Secure Canada. And subheading, I mean, you literally can't make this stuff up.

00:07:16.120 Reluctance to deport IRCC, which is Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada, caseworkers pressured

00:07:24.640 to maintain low rejection rates makes Canada an appealing target for foreign agents. I mean,

00:07:31.720 you don't say really. The article goes on, or I should say starts rather that Canada needs real and

00:07:39.600 rigorous reform of its immigration bureaucracy, which we've been saying for years, to deal with

00:07:45.960 agents of the Iranian regime. And it urges a Canadian terror watchdog. But our public safety

00:07:53.080 minister, while he's compromised himself, he doesn't even know what kinds of guns are trying,

00:07:58.460 the government is attempting to confiscate. I mean, these people are completely useless. I don't know 0.99

00:08:02.920 how they get handed these portfolios. And then we wonder why things are a complete mess and totally awry.

00:08:09.600 Canada is facing bomb threats across six major airports. This is, no one could see the proof in

00:08:18.460 the pudding of this. I mean, really? Well, and how many of these IRGC generals and

00:08:24.680 officials are already in Canada? We remember during the pandemic when we were all banned from the gyms,

00:08:34.300 and then somebody spotted one of the police chief types from Tehran, who was involved in the killing

00:08:42.220 of a Canadian journalist just working out in a Canadian hotel gym. So no, nothing to see here.

00:08:48.940 They're here already. In fact, I think it was only in 2024 that they listed officially the IRGC as a

00:08:58.520 terrorist entity. So, I mean, these people are here already in the open. I mean, who do we think is

00:09:09.760 really organizing these anti-Israel protests? Think those are organic? With all their matching

00:09:15.720 kafiyas and matching signs? The money's coming from somewhere. Now, if you honked your horn during

00:09:20.420 the Freedom Convoy, they traced your money as though they were a terrorist using FinTrack,

00:09:26.100 which is what they used to track down terrorist funding and cut it off. That's what they did to

00:09:32.860 you if you gave 20 bucks to a trucker. But have they ever used FinTrack to deal with these ongoing

00:09:38.820 Hamas protests? Not even a little bit. And I'm fairly convinced that that money is coming from 0.74

00:09:45.480 Iran. In fact, the Americans are also convinced that that money funding those similar protests in

00:09:51.580 their cities, that it's also coming from Iran. And they're pretty upfront about it. In Canada,

00:09:56.880 we only trace money of people involved in the honking. Well, I wrote this piece up last week. We know

00:10:03.780 that former Iranian regime members have already come into the country. They post it on their social

00:10:10.260 media. This guy here is a former Iran propagandist. And he came into Canada, just waltzed straight in,

00:10:17.000 no big deal, nothing to see here. This was brazenly flies in the face of sanctions that Canada has on

00:10:23.800 former Iranian regime members to not enter the country. And yet there he is, this post, the photo here

00:10:31.780 that we pulled is directly from his Instagram post. He announced his departure to Canada with this

00:10:38.820 Instagram photo, flaunting farewell, including a fun and heartfelt embrace to his 250,000 followers.

00:10:49.060 And I translated some of the posts here for you into England, or sorry, into English.

00:10:53.960 Heading to Canada tonight, I will return to my homeland at the right time. I will still be with

00:10:59.700 you and for you, said Mari Nasiri on April the 7th. And this is, again, it flies in the face of

00:11:09.600 sanctions that Canada has against Iranian regime members, especially as Iranian Canadians continue 0.99

00:11:17.240 to report threats and intimidation linked to Tehran. So like, and then he also posted another one,

00:11:24.760 and I don't think it made it into this article, actually. But he posted another one where he's

00:11:28.840 flying from, so I think it was Calgary, and landing in Toronto, and says like, so he's lands,

00:11:37.360 yeah, dated May 25. He lands at Toronto Airport, Pearson Airport with a caption that reads Toronto

00:11:42.600 Airport after a four hour flight from Calgary, similar to the air distance from Tehran to Frankfurt,

00:11:47.640 visiting Toronto, a city with tens of thousands of Iranian immigrants. And now this guy claims to

00:11:55.800 be reformed now, he claims to be a liberal. So I guess it's okay, if you ask the government?

00:12:03.420 Okay, but you still have to atone for the things that you are involved in. And if you are a member of

00:12:11.460 a terrorist group, I don't think you should be wandering around in Canada. And the IRGC is a

00:12:16.300 terrorist group. Now, for those of you who think I was just making it up, that in the Tehran police

00:12:23.760 chief was in a Toronto gym, after his involvement in the merger of a Canadian photojournalist,

00:12:32.220 here it is, Mortezi Talley. He was in Canada, just working out in the gym at the hotel that you

00:12:42.060 couldn't use if you were unvaccinated at the time. That's a problem with this government.

00:12:50.520 He was only sanctioned, he was involved in the 2003

00:12:55.580 beating death while she was in custody of an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist, Zara Kazemi.

00:13:03.540 She was arrested in 2003. Horrific treatment.

00:13:07.880 She was arrested in 2003. She suffered, absolutely.

00:13:10.480 Yeah, for taking photos of the prison. And anyways, then she was detained. And then she

00:13:17.640 died in prison. And I just want you to think, let's get nostalgic for a second. Let's roll back

00:13:25.580 the clock some 13 years. Back when we actually considered the IRGC bad guys. And the Iranian 1.00

00:13:33.100 government, not the Iranian people, bad guys. In 2012, and I remember this because the Liberals

00:13:42.740 were sort of outraged about it. All of a sudden, Stephen Harper, one day, closes the Canadian embassy

00:13:50.800 in Iran, and then expelled Iranian diplomats from Canada. Because even the Iranian diplomats 1.00

00:13:58.340 were intimidating Iranian expats who had fled the regime here. They were doing it out of the embassy

00:14:05.860 here. And John Baird, who was our principled foreign affairs minister at the time, said,

00:14:15.960 Iran is the most significant threat to global peace and security. Now, that's Canada's policy 1.00

00:14:22.020 on Iran 13 years ago. My God, has it changed.

00:14:28.880 Yeah, that, how did we get here? I keep asking myself. And then every day that goes on, more

00:14:36.720 madness ensues. And it's like, does no one else care or see this? Or why are we not putting

00:14:43.780 things in place to stop and prevent further erosion of our national security? This immigration 1.00

00:14:51.520 thing is finally being talked about. I mean, we spent, I think, the better part of four years

00:14:57.280 throughout the pandemic when the floodgates were initially opened to mass immigration, unfettered,

00:15:03.540 unmitigated. And so it took four years to get the conversation going. But now the conversation has

00:15:08.060 been going for, I don't know, I would say about a year now. And it really ramped up kind of pre-election.

00:15:13.760 But wasn't, wasn't such a hot topic, I think, as it should have been during the campaign,

00:15:19.920 because the snap nature of the election, or sorry, of the writ period. But nonetheless, this has been

00:15:27.560 an ongoing issue for years. Yeah. And we're just continuing unabated. Like,

00:15:35.040 actually, it's worse, because we're rolling back Canada's principled foreign policy on Iran. I just

00:15:41.880 want to go back to that article from 2012, when John Baird recalled all the Canadian diplomats and 0.97

00:15:49.340 threw out, gave all the Iranian diplomats five days to get their asses out of Canada. He said, 0.95

00:15:54.960 Canada's position on the regime in, just, okay, sorry, for a second, imagine Canada's foreign

00:16:02.540 affairs minister saying these things. Melanie Jolie, imagine. Canada's position on the regime in Iran

00:16:09.620 is well known. Canada views the government of Iran as the most significant threat to global peace and

00:16:14.620 security in the world today. Baird said in a statement, the statement cited Iran's support

00:16:20.400 for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, its failure to comply with UN resolutions on its nuclear

00:16:26.900 program, which we're still dealing with today, and its threats against Israel. It also makes 0.63

00:16:32.560 reference to Iran's blatant disregard for the Vienna Convention that guarantees the protection of its

00:16:38.080 diplomatic personnel. Imagine Melanie Jolie making such a principled statement these days. 1.00

00:16:47.760 No way. Wouldn't happen. She's way too soft and neutral and incompetent to do such a thing. 1.00

00:16:59.640 And then, you know, meanwhile, the conversation and the pressure is heating up on this immigration

00:17:06.280 talk. And we have this opinion piece from the Globe and Mail, why have a target for cutting temporary

00:17:11.640 immigration if Canada can't meet it? I mean, yeah, there, I mean, we really don't need to say

00:17:17.740 anything more than that. But the federal government made this like flimsy announcement last year that

00:17:23.860 it would reduce the portion of the country's temporary residents to 5% of Canada's total population by the

00:17:32.220 end of next year, 2026. Framing it as like a necessary thing. And I completely agree. I don't think it goes

00:17:39.220 far enough. But nonetheless, this was framed as a necessary correction to years of unsustainable

00:17:44.600 growth in the number of such immigrants. And then Ottawa introduced a series of reforms aiming to slow 1.00

00:17:51.300 this rise, namely for international students and temporary foreign workers. And yet, what do we see

00:17:58.960 coming in now with the data? Well, Canada's temporary resident population has continued to climb,

00:18:03.960 more than doubling since 2021. After peaking at 7.35% of the total population last year,

00:18:13.580 the share declined only modestly to 7.12% by April of this year. That is still well above the 5% goal.

00:18:23.580 So like, what are we doing here? We're flouting all these numbers, saying all these things, and then

00:18:28.820 not acting on any of it. Yeah. And for those people on the left, you might say, well, that's just a

00:18:34.560 racist thing to say. Do you know who wrote this? It's Parisa Mabubi. Now, she is a lady who, based on 0.95

00:18:47.160 her ethnic back name, last name, probably is not a racist. She's the senior policy analyst at CD Howe,

00:18:54.140 where she leads the Institute's Human Capital Policy Program. So this is not a, like a

00:19:00.000 us versus them thing. This is just our economy and our society cannot handle these things. It's

00:19:09.740 the, it's just plainly that. At the end of the day, it comes down to math. And math isn't racist,

00:19:16.180 no matter what the left tries to tell you. Oh, and they will try to tell you that. But she points out

00:19:22.600 also in this article that that is not the only sector of immigration that continues to grow. It's

00:19:28.520 persisting across most major categories. Work permit holders, excluding asylum-linked permits,

00:19:34.940 have increased by more than 600,000 in two years, reaching 1.45 million. The number of combined work

00:19:43.780 and study permit holders also surged, hitting 325,000 in Canada in the first quarter of this year.

00:19:51.860 Like, these are crazy numbers. And if you go on StatsCan, I don't have it pulled up in front of

00:19:58.460 me here, but you can... Toronto's unemployment rate is approaching 10%. This is outrageous.

00:20:04.320 Well, that's where most of them end up. The majority of immigration that comes into Canada

00:20:10.320 as a whole, over 50% of it, it lands in the GTA, in the greater Toronto area. And so that,

00:20:18.080 there is just not the infrastructure there to support that massive influx of immigration.

00:20:24.240 And, you know, we hear, oh, Canada is a vast land of vast resources and a sprawling land with

00:20:30.980 little population per, you know, hectares. And yet, most of the immigration that comes into this country 0.88

00:20:38.660 ends up in one small, tight little corridor of southeastern Ontario. So this idea that Canada,

00:20:46.280 Canada as an entire country, can support mass immigration isn't coming to fruition because

00:20:51.940 they're all funneling into one small sector of southeastern Ontario. And it can, is buckling

00:21:00.720 under the pressure. It can, it is not sustainable by any sense of the word. And the other province

00:21:06.540 that receives a vast majority of the immigration levels that come into this country, supposed to be

00:21:11.600 the country. It's, it's Ontario, followed by Quebec and Quebec has said immigrants. Yeah.

00:21:18.540 Yeah. And Quebec has said, you know, we're not doing it. We're not doing it. We're putting our

00:21:21.900 own cap on immigration if the feds won't. And so far so good, I guess.

00:21:28.240 It can be done. That's, that's the message there. It can be done if there's political will.

00:21:32.920 Um, and if Quebec is allowed a culture, why aren't the rest of us? Um, Hey, before we hit an ad break,

00:21:39.880 I want to tell everybody about two upcoming events. The first one, uh, and I think I'm biased, but,

00:21:48.880 uh, I think I'm right to be biased. It is our rebel news birthday bash. Uh, can we put up the graphic

00:21:54.780 please? Because it's a fun little graphic where everybody is wearing a party hat? Um, there's

00:22:02.480 Ezra, look how excited Ezra is. There's David, there's me. Um, it's our rebel news 10th birthday

00:22:10.860 bash. And our 10th birthday was actually back in February, but we didn't have it then because we're

00:22:16.540 in like the throes of prorogation of parliament. The liberals were running a leadership race. And then

00:22:23.580 after that, we had to hit the ground running because it was, uh, election campaign. So we

00:22:28.040 thought the news, uh, of the day is more important than us celebrating ourselves with you. And so we

00:22:34.940 set it aside, but the news never stops. So we just had to stop and put a firm date on when we will

00:22:40.940 celebrate our birthday with you. And we want to celebrate it with you because there's no birthday

00:22:45.980 without you, because there's no rebel news without any of you, uh, because we'll never take a penny

00:22:51.560 from Mark Carney to do the work that we do. We only live on here 10 years later because you believed

00:22:57.660 in us. And so we are inviting you to our birthday. It's September 18th at 6 PM in Calgary at the

00:23:06.460 Carriage House Hotel and Conference Center. We love those guys, uh, live music, cocktails, snacks,

00:23:12.340 and a meet and greet with, uh, rebel news and, uh, some of the people from the rebel news universe.

00:23:20.660 I don't want to announce any names yet. Um, and so, uh, we want you to come. And so if you go to,

00:23:28.100 I think it's rebel news, no, happybirthdayrebel.com, I believe, uh, you can get your tickets today, but

00:23:34.980 don't, don't sleep on this as the kids say, if you want a ticket, get a ticket now because, uh,

00:23:41.840 they're going to sell out. Why? Because we're fun people to be around and we're going to have so much

00:23:45.780 fun, uh, celebrating, uh, the work that we've done, the battles that we've fought and all of you

00:23:53.460 who have fought with us along the way. So happybirthdayrebel.com.

00:23:58.480 All right. So that's the first event, which I'm quite excited about. I love a good party,

00:24:06.480 but the second event I think is an important discussion about what is, uh, going on within

00:24:16.800 Confederation. Uh, it asks the question, what is the West's place in Canada? Don't miss this year's

00:24:26.320 Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference in Calgary. Now it's on September 5th and 6th,

00:24:32.640 so it's, so it's a two day event and you'll hear from speakers such as author Tristan Hopper,

00:24:40.100 Lord Conrad Black, the premier in the middle of all of this, Danielle Smith and Preston Manning.

00:24:47.820 Early bird rates are available until August 4th. Again, these things usually sell out. Reserve your

00:24:53.400 tickets today at Canada Strong and Free dot network. Is that right? Okay. Canada. Yes. Canada

00:25:04.100 Strong and Free dot network. And that's, uh, September 5th and 6th in Calgary, a discussion

00:25:10.420 about the fate and future, not just of the West, but of Confederation. Okay. Brian Lilly will be there.

00:25:16.380 Preston Manning. Uh, we've got Conrad Black. This, okay. Marco Navarro-Gini. He's worth the

00:25:27.000 price of admission. Marco Navarro-Gini. I'm just going to plug Marco for a second. He is at the

00:25:33.280 Haltain Institute. He has done some pretty serious research about these people who say, oh, you can't

00:25:41.820 go your own way. You're landlocked. He's done research into how other landlocked oil-rich

00:25:46.720 countries of the world have been able to get their products to market. Um, just fine and dandy. He's

00:25:52.700 also done serious research about other countries that have said, you know what, this isn't working

00:25:57.460 and we, let's have an amicable divorce. So if you want to hear some, uh, thought-provoking arguments

00:26:04.340 from situations you've never even considered, Marco is the guy for this. So it, if you need a

00:26:11.080 reason to go to this event, just go to see Marco. Uh, Michael Binion's great. Justin Hopper's great.

00:26:15.980 But, uh, I don't, I don't think Marco gets the, uh, respect he deserves for the research that he's

00:26:22.540 done. So anyways, that's Canada's strong and free dot network. Um, let's hit a rebel news ad break and

00:26:27.760 we'll come back on the other side, uh, to discuss more.

00:26:30.220 Do you agree with me? It is time to make Canada great again. And that is why we at rebel news

00:26:38.460 have teamed up with MCGA hats to introduce, well, the fashion sensation of 2025. Oh, and by the way,

00:26:49.100 these beautiful hats, they are made in Canada. We don't rely on cheap imports coming over from China.

00:26:58.020 So what are you waiting for folks? Show your pride. This is the perfect thing for a patriot to wear,

00:27:04.980 or maybe there's a patriot in your life that you would like to gift such a hat. Please go to

00:27:11.860 mcgahats.ca. That's mcgahats.ca. Don't be shy about it. Wear this cap. Let everybody know

00:27:22.900 you want to make Canada great again. Canadians know the national anthem.

00:27:29.940 They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country, but not every Canadian knows their

00:27:36.400 rights and freedoms. The Freedom Passport will change that. It looks and feels like a Canadian 1.00

00:27:42.360 passport, but contains the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms in a portable, easy to read

00:27:48.960 format. The Freedom Passport. Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you

00:27:55.200 love at freedompassport.ca.

00:28:01.520 Okay. Speaking of Western independence, Danielle Smith, our premier here in Alberta, is doing her

00:28:07.340 very best to give us everything we want without having to leave the country, without the getting

00:28:12.280 our hands dirty kind of stuff. There are a lot of things that are possible. Other provinces already do

00:28:16.660 this, so I don't even understand why it's so controversial. The OPP is a provincial police

00:28:21.460 force in Ontario. I think Alberta already has a pretty good relationship with the RCMP, yet if

00:28:31.620 Albertans decide to go their own way, we have to consider what we do about the police. This actually

00:28:39.180 takes the sting out of it. Premier Smith announced yesterday the creation of the Alberta Sheriff's

00:28:45.620 police service, which will not replace the RCMP, yet or ever, or if ever, depending on what Albertans

00:28:53.620 want to do about their future, but it will work alongside existing branches of law enforcement

00:28:59.060 to protect Albertans as we deal with the rise in crime and recidivism, thanks to the Liberals'

00:29:06.260 permissive catch-and-release policies with regard to crime. I pulled the numbers yesterday because my

00:29:12.020 mother-in-law was fighting with somebody on what the data was, and violent crime has spiked in

00:29:20.020 this country since 2014 by well over 40%. I think it's like 46%. That's crazy. I mean,

00:29:30.820 something's got to give, and Alberta is doing something about it, so let's hear from the Premier.

00:29:36.020 We promised to improve policing in the province so that it works better on the streets and behind

00:29:41.140 the scenes, and we did that because Albertans deserve to feel safe no matter where they live,

00:29:46.500 and because Ottawa has indicated that it's rethinking the RCMP's responsibilities and may change them

00:29:52.420 once the current police services agreements end in 2032. So I'm pleased to say that we have taken some

00:29:58.900 major steps to deliver on our promise. We have formally created the Alberta Sheriff's Police

00:30:03.620 Service to be headquartered right here in Calgary. And to be clear about its intended purpose,

00:30:08.740 the Alberta Sheriff's Police Service is not meant to replace the RCMP or any other police service.

00:30:14.980 It will work alongside existing branches of law enforcement to fill gaps and ensure that resources

00:30:20.740 are used efficiently. And just like most other police services in the province, it'll be run separately

00:30:26.340 from the government with civilian oversight. Today, roughly 80% of Albertans are already served

00:30:33.460 by local non-RCMP municipal police services, such as in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat,

00:30:41.700 as well as the recently established police service in Ground Prairie, along with others. And I'm also happy

00:30:48.500 to announce that we are appointing Satpal Singh Parhar as Chief of the Alberta Sheriff's Police Service.

00:30:56.340 Again, if you ask the left, this is controversial. This is turning us into a police state, blah,

00:31:01.220 blah, blah, blah, blah. But this is stuff that they do in other provinces. Quebec has its own

00:31:05.380 provincial police service. Ontario does. And we have been slowly expanding the duties of the

00:31:13.620 sheriff's service, which we do, we have had a sheriff's service, sort of quasi-provincial police force

00:31:21.700 for a long time now. They work in the court system. They work at the legislature. They've been working

00:31:28.100 on border security in southern Alberta. They work on the highways. This is just expanding that to a more

00:31:35.620 official role in appointing a police chief for them. And I'm here for it. I mean, crime is up over 40%

00:31:44.020 while the liberals have been charged, have been in charge. Why wouldn't we want more cops on the road?

00:31:49.380 One of the few things I think government should do is policing. Like there's a lot of things the

00:31:54.820 government does do that they shouldn't, including health care. This is one of those things where

00:31:59.780 they're supposed to keep you safe, or at least, you know, do their best to keep you safe. I'm for this,

00:32:05.380 but everyone's losing their marbles on the left. Yeah, or at least enforce the laws that we are

00:32:12.180 supposed to have in place, which we've seen just repeatedly disregarded unless your political views

00:32:17.140 are contrary to that of the state. And then the heavy hammer of law and order comes down onto you. But

00:32:24.980 yeah, I don't, with crime, chaos, disorder, disarray, all of these things just unleashed onto

00:32:33.060 Canadian streets. If we're taking steps to rein in that disorder, then why not?

00:32:40.740 Yeah, well, and there's something else happening in the background, too. So Alberta has said that they

00:32:45.140 will not advise the RCMP to enforce the gun confiscation program of the federal liberals. Now,

00:32:55.860 what if we end up in a standoff with the feds? And somehow, even though the RCMP are on contract in

00:33:04.660 Alberta, somehow, the RCMP are forced to abide by the gun confiscation program. Do we have the ability

00:33:15.860 now to kick them out if the feds override the will of the province and put the RCMP in the middle?

00:33:23.140 Well, this might be a backstop for that. It's a consideration, considering how the liberal

00:33:29.700 government is going to just speed into the gun confiscation. I mean, just running Natalie Provo as 1.00

00:33:39.460 an MP was exactly an indicator of what they plan to do. And they've allocated, I think,

00:33:45.620 a third of a billion dollars to take guns where they don't even know where they are. That's going 0.92

00:33:49.620 to take a lot of policing. So, well, anyways, we'll see. I think that could be a motivation here as well.

00:33:56.260 All right, let's go to the next.

00:33:57.460 It's just more of Danielle Smith aligning the province for independence. And so each step

00:34:06.260 that is taken just kind of furthers Alberta's ability to uphold its own sovereignty and push

00:34:17.860 back against the nonsense policies of Ottawa. So I think this is just another step in that direction.

00:34:23.860 Yeah, whether we leave or whether we stay, this makes us out of the clutches of the feds

00:34:32.180 at the end of the day. We're better off for this at the end of the day. Let's get into the elbows

00:34:38.100 up nonsense, because what's a day in Canada without elbows up nonsense? Goodness gracious.

00:34:46.820 So where did they find this one? Yeah, I was one, as I was reading that, I wondered the exact same.

00:34:54.100 And you know, just on the elbows up topic for a moment, I saw someone post the other day,

00:34:57.940 um, Carney's had his elbows up and down so many times that he's doing the chicken dance.

00:35:02.980 Yeah, that's a Garnigenis joke. 0.99

00:35:05.460 Oh, I thought that was such a good visual. We need a meme of that just, or I like maybe a

00:35:10.820 little graphic of Carter doing the chicken dance. AI me that somebody. Please send it our way with

00:35:18.020 a little song. Anyway. Um, all right. So Canadians are now apparently don't speak for me, but here we

00:35:27.300 are. Canadians feel unwelcome in the US as mistrust remains high, finds a new poll pollster Jack Jedwab

00:35:36.900 now sees Canadian anger and frustration being focused primarily on the American government

00:35:41.940 and less so the American people. Um, now that the Canada's trade war with America surged back into

00:35:48.980 public conscience, consciousness, like a blast from the recent past. Oh my gosh. A new poll suggests

00:35:55.460 Canadian frustration with and mistrust of the US remains high, despite a slight easing. I mean,

00:36:00.820 what kind of lead is this? I, I can't, anyway. Um, so there was a dramatic realignment apparently

00:36:08.820 of Canadian attitudes toward its Southern neighbor. And then here we go. This is, I think the lead

00:36:14.980 that should have been there. Europe and Britain were suddenly the countries Canadians felt best about,

00:36:20.900 and Canadians were starting to feel, were starting to feel about America the way they feel about Russia.

00:36:27.860 Um, and this comes also as Carney tries to, well, Trump derangement syndrome is obviously infiltrating

00:36:35.460 the pollsters, but, um, this comes as Carney is trying to align Canada more with Europe and the

00:36:42.740 European union and break those ties that we've traditionally and historically held with the

00:36:47.780 United States. And now you have a pollster here in the background, basically just backing all of that up.

00:36:54.340 So I'm not surprised, but this certainly doesn't speak for a number of Canadians, including myself.

00:37:00.420 Uh, again, I think that these are the mask wearers on the airplanes still, you know what I mean?

00:37:07.060 Because they just believe everything the government and the CBC, and I shouldn't make a distinction there,

00:37:12.100 tells them. Uh, and talk again, talk about burying the lead. Back in April, barely one in five,

00:37:19.780 or 21%. So they trust Americans in a similar poll, but the latest poll, that figure has rebounded to 34%,

00:37:28.740 which is historically normal.

00:37:32.900 And about the same as it was near the end of Trump's first term, but still considerably lower

00:37:40.100 than the 59% it reached in October, 2023. So that shows you that the liberals campaigned on fear.

00:37:49.540 It worked for them. But the whole point of this is, this is normal. This is the, your typical uppity,

00:37:57.220 snooty Canadian anti-Americanism at its stasis. So why is this even an article?

00:38:05.700 Because it, as they said, this is where it's historically at.

00:38:10.740 Yeah.

00:38:10.980 And what am I leaving here then?

00:38:14.660 The bar that they're holding is that it's still considerably lower than the 59% it reached

00:38:19.700 in October, 2023. I'm sorry, under Biden, we, we, um, felt more welcome and less aggressive

00:38:27.300 toward the United States because when Biden was the president, who like couldn't even prevent

00:38:33.540 himself from falling off of his bike while riding it, I mean, this, it's obviously, um,

00:38:40.900 a politically backed poll and is speaking to the differences. Like when Canada has a liberal

00:38:46.100 government and the U S has a liberal government, it's all good and friendly and we're fine. And

00:38:49.780 then as soon as the U S switches to a conservative government, all of a sudden there's like hostility

00:38:55.540 and mistrust apparently remains high. I don't know, but about you guys, but I trust Trump a heck of a

00:39:02.980 lot more than I trust Biden.

00:39:04.340 Yeah. Trump just gave us a $7 billion tax cut because of the internet tax that got canceled, uh,

00:39:12.820 because of him. Maybe Canadians feel unwelcome in the United States because they have bought into the 0.99

00:39:23.140 lies about how we need to fight the Americans and because they've allowed themselves to fall 0.99

00:39:29.220 into the anti-Americanism trap. Like after saying, uh, terrible things about Americans for the last

00:39:37.300 six months, you're lucky if they let you into the country at all. You know what I mean? Like

00:39:45.540 if I talked bad about a friend and neighbor, and then I went over to their house to visit it. Yeah,

00:39:52.660 there might be some awkwardness, but that's on me, not on them. Uh, there, this is just the dumbest 0.99

00:39:58.900 article ever because they're saying, um, that the numbers are actually where they historically are. 0.97

00:40:04.260 Uh, okay. Thanks. Great. Good article, buddy. Thanks for letting us know that we're right on par.

00:40:12.020 Yeah. Anyways. Um, I think we should hit this one headliner. I know we started a little bit late,

00:40:17.780 but I want to, um, I want to get to this global news investigation that they've just released. I think

00:40:24.820 they, they ran this investigation for apparently six months and, um, basically just leaves a bunch of

00:40:33.060 my original reporting. And I think also likely my access to information documents, because there's

00:40:38.420 about a two year lag there between when you file, um, and receive back the, your access to information

00:40:44.980 request. And then by the time it's actually publicly available is about another two years.

00:40:50.340 Yeah. Proactively. So they had to wait. They couldn't trust that, uh, this reporting was accurate.

00:40:58.100 And based on exclusive government documents obtained by us here at rebel news, uh, they had to wait until

00:41:04.820 public disclosure, disclosure happened, uh, roughly two years later and see, see it for themselves,

00:41:10.420 I suppose. But, um, it, the title here comes from, as I mentioned in global news, nothing was ready

00:41:18.180 inside Canada's vaccine injury support program. And it's a story done by two journalists, um,

00:41:24.980 Andrew McIntosh and Carolyn Jarvis. And so they start off, here's the lead a 50 million, which it's

00:41:34.420 actually 75 million, by the way, a 50 million program, the federal government created to help

00:41:40.100 Canadians seriously injured by COVID-19 vaccines is in disarray. Current and former staffers say,

00:41:47.300 um, the vaccine, um, the vaccine, vaccine injury support program was created as the government

00:41:52.100 was simultaneously rolling out these novel modified RNA COVID-19 injections. And it was meant to

00:41:59.300 compensate people who had been seriously and permanently injured by these health Canada.

00:42:06.100 They, they actually use the right word here, health Canada authorized, not approved, authorized

00:42:11.460 vaccines administered, you know, on or after the December 8th rollout in 2020. And so my original

00:42:20.900 reporting on this topic, and I have a thread that I posted yesterday on X that goes through, and this

00:42:29.860 just scratches the surface of the reporting that I have done on the vaccine injury support program,

00:42:35.860 including vaccine injured individuals who I started featuring the very first one, Kevin Street,

00:42:42.100 June or July of 2021, who was injured following his, um, AstraZeneca shot, which we all know now

00:42:50.980 AstraZeneca has been since pulled from the market. But anyway, I post this thread in here because

00:42:55.940 global news claims that their investigation revealed a scandal clad vaccine injury support program.

00:43:01.380 But in fact, all of this is my original reporting. And I pulled some quotes from global directly where

00:43:08.260 they say Oxero, who was formerly Raymond, Shant, Grant, Thornton consultants, they actually received

00:43:16.660 the vast majority of the budget allocation for this program to deliver and administer it. So they got

00:43:22.260 roughly 60% of the total budget, leaving Canadians suffering from the safe and effective

00:43:31.220 narrative high and dry. They, the rigmarole that has encompassed this program is absolutely scathing.

00:43:39.460 Um, and so I point to some of the original reporting that I've done here, like where I, I broke the news

00:43:46.500 that the, this consultancy firm funnels millions meant for those injured into the consultants pockets.

00:43:54.980 And I did, I broke this in January of 2024. So over a year and a half ago, I did this report,

00:44:01.700 I showed the government documents and I actually had to appeal to find the true numbers because they

00:44:08.020 originally tried to redact it. So I would have, I broke the original story. I said, something's fishy

00:44:13.700 here. I'm going to appeal all of these redactions and get to the bottom of how much is actually going

00:44:20.820 where, because this seems fishy. And then I think it was like roughly six months later because you

00:44:26.180 know, they're supposed to get back to you within three months. They never do. It's the government

00:44:29.460 after all. Um, so I actually would have had this story a roughly six months sooner had they have

00:44:34.100 not tried to redact and hide all of these numbers. So there was a lot of investigating that went into

00:44:39.940 this finding and here's global news, just trying to scoop it all as though they've been looking into

00:44:45.460 this for the last six months. Um, I report on the fact that this case managers are a revolving door

00:44:52.740 in March of 2024, also over a year ago. I mean, and the list quite literally goes on and on, but then

00:44:59.700 I wanted to highlight how global news exacted over the last few years. And they have held

00:45:09.460 true to the government state funded big pharma backed narrative. They held cover for all of that.

00:45:19.220 There was a big, massive investigation that Ashley Stewart from global news did in January of 2022,

00:45:25.460 where she revealed the headline reads revealed how a web of Canadian doctors are undermining the fight

00:45:32.660 against COVID-19. And she ousts various doctors, um, like Mark Trozzi, who we've, we've featured

00:45:38.980 extensively on the platform. And I especially want to point out Dr. Patrick Phillips, because I first did

00:45:46.020 a story with Dr. Patrick Phillips. I'm just going to, to pull it up in May. Let me just let the, uh,

00:45:56.900 the proper link here. Dr. Patrick Phillips was one of the first doctors agreed to come on to me after

00:46:01.940 come on with me after I started investigating the vaccine rollout, what was happening. May 27th,

00:46:09.540 2021, Dr. Patrick Phillips, he was an emergency department doctor in Ontario coming forward saying

00:46:16.260 they're rejecting my COVID vaccine adverse reaction reports. He had five of them rejected by his local

00:46:23.300 medical officer of health because here in Canada, we have a multi-level filtering system to get your

00:46:29.300 four vaccine injury ever even formally documented and recognized. And so he was having all of his

00:46:38.180 vaccine injury reports rejected by his local medical officer of health, which is that kind of second

00:46:44.500 level of filtering that happens. And instead of like investigating any of this dating back to 2021,

00:46:52.180 they wrote a hit piece and smeared all of these principal doctors who are brave enough to come

00:46:58.340 forward against the state backed and mainstream media, um, amplified narrative and smeared all of

00:47:05.940 them. I'm just going to interrupt you here. It got worse than that because Dr. Patrick Phillips,

00:47:10.420 I remember watching his NCI testimony about how he was trying to get these vaccine injuries recognized

00:47:17.060 so that maybe they could put a stop to what was happening, the forced vaccination and his license was

00:47:23.940 revoked due to misconduct, his misconduct advocacy for his patients and hindsight being 2020, he was right.

00:47:33.620 And, uh, yeah, CBC, uh, or at global news, uh, they were part and parcel of amplifying the, uh,

00:47:44.420 uh, misinformation against Dr. Patrick Phillips. Sorry, I'll be quiet. You continue on.

00:47:50.180 And I would argue, well, I would argue that global news actually played a part in that investigation

00:47:55.940 against Dr. Patrick Phillips by his regulator, the CPSO, because in this hit piece that Ashley

00:48:01.760 Stewart ran again in January of 2022, revealing how these COVID doctors, or sorry, revealing how these

00:48:08.500 Canadian doctors are allegedly undermining the fight against COVID and spreading vaccine

00:48:12.940 disinformation is what they were calling it. And still, I mean, arguably until last week were,

00:48:19.180 um, uh, they reached out to the college of physicians and surgeons of Ontario to alert them

00:48:24.700 to what these doctors were up to. So not only did global news run cover for the state backed pharma

00:48:31.420 funded narrative all throughout the last five years, but they actually put a target on the brave doctors

00:48:37.260 who are coming forward saying, this doesn't make sense. This isn't upholding anyone's health.

00:48:41.820 The way that we're treating these patients and the way that we're, uh, just injecting everyone

00:48:47.260 indiscriminately is not the way that you handle this kind of public health crisis, so to speak.

00:48:55.500 And they put a target on their backs. And let's not also forget Rachel Gilmore, who worked for Global

00:49:01.820 News at the time of the vaccine rollout. Can we pull up that clip of Rachel Gilmore, what she was saying?

00:49:07.980 Um, yeah, she had being employed.

00:49:10.780 Yeah, she had big fight global news, she says about go about your unvaccinated friends and relatives.

00:49:16.780 By the way, I just, uh, if you follow me on X, it's easy to find me at Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:49:22.540 I just reposted Dr. Patrick Phillips NTI testimony, uh, from March, I believe, uh,

00:49:31.420 March 16th of 2023 in Truro, Nova Scotia. Uh, just so you can hear in his own words, um,

00:49:39.660 what he was trying to do and what now global news claims they have discovered. Anyways,

00:49:47.180 you can see it there. You don't have to show the whole thing. It's, uh, but, uh, if you follow me,

00:49:51.740 you can see a clip of his testimony and you can find his testimony in full in the description of the

00:49:57.500 post there. What happened to Patrick Phillips is absolutely disgusting. And now we have this

00:50:05.820 principled, well, well-educated science following physician who can no longer treat patients in

00:50:13.580 Ontario where we have a massive and chronic shortage of family doctors because of the kind of reporting

00:50:21.580 that came from global news. So for anybody who's thanking global news and comments section on X,

00:50:29.020 when they post this and they reveal how this is being poorly managed and, and misrun. Let's not

00:50:36.780 forget. This was the kind of rhetoric coming from global news during the vaccine rollout in October

00:50:44.780 of 2021. Listen to this from Rachel Gilmore. I am sorry in advance. Are you going to invite your

00:50:52.700 unvaccinated relatives to sit at the dinner table with you this Thanksgiving? Experts are saying you might

00:50:58.300 not want to risk it. Here's why. According to one expert from McMaster university, vaccines are

00:51:04.540 super effective, but they're most effective when you're surrounded by other vaccinated people.

00:51:11.180 If you invite someone who isn't vaccinated, there's a risk of having a breakthrough case.

00:51:15.260 Now breakthrough cases are pretty rare. There's only ever been about 8,000 in Ontario,

00:51:20.220 but kids can't get vaccinated. So part of keeping those kids as safe as possible is telling that one

00:51:25.660 uncle who chooses not to get vaccinated that he might have to sit this one out. One bioethicist

00:51:30.700 said that that's actually the more ethical thing to do. She also said you should try talking to your

00:51:35.340 relatives about how safe vaccination is. The best way to do that is to start the conversation from a

00:51:40.060 place of respect and empathy. Say things like, I understand you're feeling pressure. I know you're

00:51:45.340 freaked out, but here's why this is important. You can read more at globalnews.ca.

00:51:50.060 I'm stupider for having to listen to that. Yeah, that is everything she said there, 0.89

00:51:55.820 by the way, complete misinformation that breakthrough cases didn't happen, that kids are at risk.

00:52:03.020 We know breakthrough cases happened. In fact, most of the people on my Facebook page who are vehemently

00:52:10.780 against increased ongoing vaccinations are people who got two jabs and still got sick.

00:52:17.100 So the actual science. The people who had to learn things the hard way. But yeah, that's who global news

00:52:28.460 was and is. And now they want to gaslight you into forgetting, being hard of remembering.

00:52:35.820 Don't thank them. The reason things got this far along is because of the likes of global news.

00:52:43.740 This is absolute gaslighting. Imagine they had reached out to Dr.

00:52:49.900 Phillips and found other doctors who were experiencing the same pain because I know Dr.

00:52:54.380 Phillips wasn't alone, but everyone was too scared and they saw what happened to him to come forward and

00:53:00.380 share what was happening on the front lines, in hospitals, in emergency departments, at clinics,

00:53:05.500 after the rollout of these injections. If they had have just said, whoa, this is a crazy allegation,

00:53:10.940 let's investigate this. In May of 2021, when they were rejecting his vaccine injury reports

00:53:18.060 from his local medical officer of health, imagine where we would be now had the mainstream media have

00:53:23.100 said that is massive. That is huge news for a novel product that's never before been unleashed on the

00:53:30.300 mass population. And instead they amplify the absolute bimbo nonsense of somebody like Rachel 1.00

00:53:37.660 Gilmore, who's like vaccines. They're super effective, super effective. Spare me.

00:53:43.980 I realize that I speak in the common parlance of the region in which I live. I have some pretty

00:53:48.860 strong Alberta isms. I know that. But I try not to sound like an absolute airhead.

00:53:56.300 And she does. She sounds like an airhead and she thinks it's charming and not completely annoying. 0.99

00:54:04.140 She's a grown woman. I probably had two kids when I was her age. Could you imagine her even being 0.99

00:54:09.660 able to keep a cat alive? Anyway, I probably had three kids by the time I was her age.

00:54:15.660 Same. One more thing I just want to quickly point out about Global News' investigation is the part

00:54:24.940 where they say, and I'm just going to read it verbatim and I think it's about a third of the way

00:54:29.100 down the page. The government reassured the public that they'd be safe, but it acknowledged that in rare

00:54:36.220 cases people could experience serious side effects. And I just want to point people to the fact,

00:54:46.780 because this is completely overlooked and never reported on by anyone in the mainstream media,

00:54:50.940 including Global News and this parent expose that I've only been featuring for the last two and a half

00:54:58.380 years at least. This comes from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. It's a subset of

00:55:08.220 the Department of Health and Human Services of the FDA. So this is like a very credible source.

00:55:13.980 And I just want to show everyone the first line on this webpage. It says,

00:55:19.660 Adverse events from vaccines are common, but under-reported, with less than one percent

00:55:27.580 reported to the Food and Drug Administration. So when they tell you...

00:55:32.860 Yeah. Exactly. When they lay out all of these numbers that are officially documented by Health Canada,

00:55:39.820 remember that there's at least one ER physician reporting that all five of his

00:55:44.460 vaccines were rejected before they even got to Health Canada. And remember that less than one

00:55:50.460 percent are ever formally documented or reported. So you can take all of those numbers and multiply

00:55:57.260 them by whatever factor they should actually be, because this is not an accurate reflection of how

00:56:03.180 many people are being plagued by vaccine injury. Right. That's it for me for today.

00:56:08.460 Oh, no, not yet. We have one more thing we have to get to. And it's, you wrote it up. We talked

00:56:16.540 about it in the morning meeting. I love this story because on some level, I am glad Sheila Copps exists,

00:56:26.060 because she is the perfect avatar of the horrors of the liberalist

00:56:38.380 establishment. Sheila Copps, for those of you who are not as long in the tooth as me,

00:56:44.060 she was the deputy prime minister for a time, but she is everybody's cantankerous liberal 0.98

00:56:52.380 wine aunt. Like, she gets on the internet after a box of card Bordeaux, if you know what I mean.

00:56:59.420 And then she starts telling everybody about politics. And if we knew this about her during the pandemic,

00:57:07.260 wouldn't we have considered, and I don't mean we, I mean the royal we,

00:57:13.420 the establishment who treated Sheila Copps as some sort of credible expert on the comings and goings

00:57:19.340 of the pandemic? Well, maybe you should look at that through a different lens. Now, Tamara wrote this

00:57:25.900 up. I think she's having problems with her camera. Is that right? So I'll get to it, I guess.

00:57:32.460 Yes. Pandemic profiteers strike again. Sheila Copps' firm sues for share of $2 billion federal

00:57:38.780 contract amid lobbying scandal. You're not even going to believe the gall of this broad.

00:57:46.460 BTNX denies Copps' firm's role in securing the deal, alleging any lobbying efforts were conducted

00:57:54.040 illegally. It's just a delight. Former Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps is back in the spotlight

00:58:02.520 for all the wrong reasons. Her firm, Medipro Canada, is suing for $100 million. $100 million.

00:58:12.600 Is that how it goes? In an attempt to reap a slice of the $2 billion federal contract she helped secure 1.00

00:58:18.120 for rapid test supplier, BTNX, during the COVID chaos. I think we have Tamara back. Tamara, take us

00:58:24.520 through this. Oh, are we not? I guess we're not getting Tamara's audio. So yeah, that's okay. She has

00:58:47.160 been talking and explaining it, but I'll keep going through it. So her firm Medipro is suing for $100

00:58:55.800 million. But as Tamara writes, there's one small oopsie oversight. Copps wasn't registered as a

00:59:02.400 lobbyist. And now the contractor says she broke the rules justifying they're leaving her high and dry. 1.00

00:59:08.440 Sneaky or savvy? As Tamara says, you decide. Emails uncovered by the National Post show Copps working

00:59:14.760 her liberal Rolodex, setting up cozy meetings with top dogs in then Procurement Minister Anita Anand's

00:59:21.600 office to push masks and tests. Sounds like lobbying to me. One sketchy KN95 deal even got flagged by 3M

00:59:31.040 as potential fraud, sparking a police probe. Yet cops insist, I'm just a salesman, dodging the lobbying

00:59:38.620 act because she wasn't paid up front. But now she wants to be paid after the fact, as Tamara writes, 1.00

00:59:44.400 convenient, right? Do we have Tamir's audio now? I am testing, testing. Can you hear me

00:59:51.740 on the stream side? Okay, take it away. Thanks, Sheila. Yeah, so and the lobbying commissioner,

00:59:58.620 of course, is staying quiet about all of this. Meanwhile, this stench of unaccountability is

01:00:04.960 pretty hard to ignore. I point out that it's another black eye for Ottawa's pandemic procurement

01:00:10.840 already marred by ArriveCan, least we forget, and we charity fiascos. I also wanted to just draw

01:00:18.920 everybody's attention back to then Procurement Minister, right? Because all of this was done

01:00:23.200 under Procurement Minister Anita Anand, whose husband, John Knowlton, was linked to companies

01:00:29.080 that also received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal COVID contracts, further disavowing

01:00:36.860 transparency and accountability. He was part of LifeLabs and Terranet Inc. LifeLabs was given

01:00:45.420 $66 million worth of contracts from the government. And Dynacare, SwitchHealth, these ones were all also

01:00:55.020 awarded contracts. So something is awry at the procurement office. And clearly, lobbyists

01:01:03.860 aren't properly registering, and they're being rewarded through contracts and otherwise for their

01:01:11.580 efforts to effectively and successfully lobby the government to get their companies the deals

01:01:17.600 ahead of anybody else's. So I pose the question at the end, is this just another chapter in Canada's

01:01:26.560 Cronyism Chronicles? I would wager a bet to say yes, but ultimately, always leave it up to the viewer to

01:01:33.620 decide.

01:01:34.840 Yeah, I mean, there's another company involved in all of this who says, actually, and just so people know what 0.99

01:01:41.560 we're talking about, they're those stupid little tests that you stuck a thing up your nose or in the back of 0.99

01:01:47.320 your throat. They're the home tests that you had to do before you did anything in the world, if you were 1.00

01:01:54.160 unvaccinated. They're the ones that they gave free, but nothing's free if the government's paying for 0.99

01:02:00.140 it. They're those tests. So just think about where those were, literally everywhere. Remember, you

01:02:07.120 could get them at the Tim Hortons. What a strange time. You could get them, like the Alberta government

01:02:13.800 struck a deal with Tim Hortons that if you could go through the drive-through and they would give you

01:02:17.000 a bunch of tests just to make sure that everybody had them. Like, I just look back and I'm like, man,

01:02:22.040 we were mad, but someone was making money hand over fist. And one of them was Sheila Copps, 1.00

01:02:27.540 apparently, because she wants a hundred million dollars. But there was another company in all of

01:02:31.220 this who said, actually, we could have done this for cheaper. In fact, we offered to do this for

01:02:36.440 cheaper, but the government went with the company that Sheila Copps was lobbying for.

01:02:42.160 Surprise, surprise.

01:02:43.680 Which was more money. So it's just so unbelievably crooked.

01:02:48.980 And then just the gall to have not registered as a lobbyist and now want to be paid as a

01:02:57.500 lobbyist. And this is ending up in court. And I just can't, I'm here for all the drama. I'm here

01:03:02.480 for it. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. I hope actually people go to jail for this. Although this

01:03:07.540 is Canada and you don't.

01:03:09.500 No, you get the orders of Canada for your pandemic profiteering. But you can just remember Adamson

01:03:17.640 Barbecue, right? The Ontario barbecue restaurateur who just wanted to feed people brisket while the

01:03:24.340 Costco across the street, they were open for business. The Walmarts, the big box stores,

01:03:29.500 they were all allowed to continue, mostly unabated. But the little guy, like the barbecue

01:03:35.360 restaurateurs and the mom pop shops, they had to shutter for the better part of two years on a

01:03:41.080 rolling basis and then reopen with all these stipulations where they had to invest in things

01:03:46.220 like sanitizer, sanitizer, masks, plexiglass, which was a massive upfront cost, etc, etc. And those guys

01:03:54.720 are still suffering the devastation, the fallout of COVID policies who had, yeah, all the king's horses

01:03:59.480 and all the king's men unleashed onto their small mom pop barbecue shop. And yet people like Anita

01:04:06.560 Anand, who oversaw the government's procurement. It's a promotion. And her husband pockets who knows

01:04:14.040 how much for his affiliations with companies who received hundreds of millions of dollars in government

01:04:20.580 COVID contracts. I mean, these people aren't suffering, that's for sure. But Adam Skelly from

01:04:25.480 Adamson barbecue. I mean, where is he these days? Yeah, Chris Scott, same thing. Chris Scott,

01:04:30.340 though, has been the center of a political uprising. It doesn't seem to stop there. But also, let us

01:04:36.540 not forget, like how many liberals, former and future, enriched themselves during COVID. Frank Bayless

01:04:46.340 with Bayless ventilators, an inflated ventilator contract, I think it was like a quarter of a

01:04:55.320 billion dollars. They cost more than what they should have. And then they ultimately ended up being

01:05:03.620 either donated to war efforts in Ukraine, or sold for scrap, because we didn't need them. But and I

01:05:10.820 think people knew that we didn't need them at the beginning. But this was just a time for liberals

01:05:15.780 to get rich with government contracts. How are we forgetting Randy, Randy Bosano? He was the partner

01:05:23.820 in a medical PPE import company, getting contracts with Elections Canada to provide PPE for a snap election

01:05:32.340 nobody wanted. Sole source contracts at that, like that, all of them got rich during the pandemic,

01:05:39.940 while our companies went broke, and our kids were damaged mentally, mentally and physically.

01:05:46.300 And educationally. Also, that those contracts all were just swiftly removed from the procurement

01:05:55.560 government procurement website. So if you ever wanted to go back and do a line by line investigation

01:06:00.160 into who got what and what went where, well, guess what? It's all been wiped.

01:06:05.500 Great. So much for transparency. Yep. We need a national inquiry, but we're never going to get it

01:06:11.540 as long as the liberals are in charge. Um, no. Thanks, Toronto. Thank you. I don't think we have

01:06:18.480 a daily dose of cringe, but I think we just played it a little bit early. It was Rachel Gilmore. So sorry

01:06:24.180 about that. Just forget how awful she is to listen to. I did have to listen to her committee

01:06:30.060 testimony. Oh, that was bad. And that was horrendous. On my deathbed, I will be thinking about the time

01:06:40.020 I spent listening to that and thinking I could have done something better with my time, like smoking.

01:06:47.660 Like, my God. I could have suffered a slow death, but instead I was stuck listening to

01:06:56.160 the valley girl for, I don't even know how long she had up there on the little soapbox, 15 minutes.

01:07:01.540 Yeah. It was so bad. I'm like, how does someone like this end up here? I mean, there's our government

01:07:06.120 in action. Do you know what the worst part is? I blame the conservatives because they never actually

01:07:12.000 call anybody to counter that. You know, like she was the journalist that the liberals or the NDP

01:07:18.900 called to testify at committee on, you know, uh, journalistic freedom or whatever. The one that's

01:07:26.280 advocating the censorship of other journalists. Who did you call, uh, conservatives to counter that?

01:07:33.000 There are plenty of conservative journalists out here actively fighting in court, uh, for the right to

01:07:39.360 the free press. What did you guys do? You sat there and listened to Rachel Gilmore. I feel like that's a

01:07:46.480 missed opportunity. Yeah. A hundred percent. All right. Well, that's a wrap from us today.

01:07:54.680 Thanks everybody for listening and joining in on the stream. Uh, Sheila and a rotating host will be 0.73

01:08:02.940 back same time and place tomorrow, 1 to 2 PM Eastern. So be sure to join us again. And, um, until then

01:08:11.560 keep your thinking hats on, because if the mainstream media has anything to do with it,

01:08:16.120 you are going to need to think critically. Thanks so much, everybody. See you next time.
