So if you want to support us, why not do it in a win-win fashion?
00:00:09.300

00:00:35.460
You know, Sheila, we have a special guest appearance today.
00:00:39.020
Alexa Lavoie is here in Toronto Rebel News headquarters.
00:00:43.600
In case I put my size 13 foot into a size 14 mouth again,
00:00:49.780
do we know if Alexa is a separatist for La Belle Provence or not?
00:01:05.260
And it's also, it's National Canadian Bacon Day, which must be an American thing because what they think is Canadian bacon,
00:01:18.940
Is Canadian bacon, you know, you're absolutely right, Sheila.
00:01:22.160
No one in the Dominion of Canada calls whatever that pork product is Canadian bacon.
00:01:28.640
I've never heard a Canadian say, I'd like Canadian bacon.
00:01:36.500
Is Canadian bacon their way of saying female bacon?
00:01:47.300
The regular old smoked, delicious bacon like everybody else.
00:01:51.840
I don't know how we got stuck with the female bacon.
00:01:58.880
And when I took you and Lise on our Magical Mystery Tour of Hogtown last month,
00:02:05.360
I think I brought you down to the St. Lawrence Market.
00:02:08.440
And basically what buffalo wings are to the city of Buffalo, chicken wings,
00:02:20.400
It's female bacon, cheese, and an egg on a Kaiser.
00:02:27.580
I guess it ties into, you know, the reason why we call Toronto Hogtown.
00:02:33.580
So I can't remember if you took advantage of having that delicious sandwich.
00:02:45.720
but it gave me a headache because I don't normally eat any sugar whatsoever.
00:02:50.040
But I was standing there looking at them and I'm like,
00:02:54.540
And then it was like I was crippled with the jitters.
00:03:00.200
which seems weird because it seems kind of late in the season or early.
00:03:03.580
In the season, depending on how you look at it, for mulled wine.
00:03:06.220
I feel like mulled wine is more of like a Christmas thing.
00:03:13.680
given the temperatures and the Niagara Escarpment?
00:03:36.140
and we talk about the news of the day with each other,
00:03:45.840
where you will get the full uncensored version of Rebel News.
00:03:52.100
So if you're over there and you want to support the work that we do,
00:03:56.120
If it's over the $5 US cutoff, we'll read it on air.
00:04:04.060
And if we have time, and I think, are we tight to the hour today?
00:04:09.540
If we have time, we'll do our best to read those at the end of the show.
00:04:12.060
So if you are watching us on YouTube, good news,
00:04:18.640
coupled with some hard work of the editorial team here at Rebel News.
00:04:25.280
like in the olden days, you can do that there too.
00:04:34.960
So that's their paid, highlighted thank you chat
00:04:49.800
I was working on writing up something from the Democracy Fund
00:04:57.220
I don't know when Sheila Gunn-Reed sleeps, folks.
00:05:18.140
He lost me with his first statement, Sheila Gunn-Reed,
00:05:36.680
having the government fall before his pension came due.
00:05:51.260
it will mean UK boots on the ground and planes in the air.
00:05:55.260
I am taking that that will not mean Canadian boots on the ground.
00:06:01.740
is that the case or are you considering Canadian boots on the ground
00:06:08.800
Canada has looked at the ways it can best help.
00:06:15.840
We know that the Canadian military has ways that it can contribute.
00:06:21.200
We're not going to get ahead of the discussions
00:06:23.060
on how to keep a peace that isn't yet in place.
00:06:27.880
But Canada will be there and is open to doing what is necessary.
00:06:32.140
But those will be decisions taken in the coming years
00:06:53.560
when it comes to Ukraine needing boots on the ground,
00:06:58.540
well, since Zelensky really broke things completely on Friday
00:07:06.780
and it's up to him to fix things with the White House,
00:07:10.560
well, if Europe is going to come to Ukraine's defense,
00:07:19.100
which has sort of a recent history of, you know,
00:07:21.580
getting involved in world affairs when it comes to warfare.
00:07:38.120
I'm just going to drill out on this issue for a second.
00:07:41.900
Who is he to say he's going to send boots on the ground?
00:07:48.780
He has no right or mandate to be making these decisions
00:08:05.940
And that is definitely not an indictment of those who serve.
00:08:36.160
where are we going to find the ones that we need to deploy to the border?
00:08:47.160
Or are we going to secure the homeland here to stave off tariffs?
00:08:53.400
and he's supposed to be resigned as the Prime Minister.
00:09:00.680
and yet Justin Trudeau is gallivanting around the world,
00:09:06.120
kind of like on the farewell tour of Santa Claus,
00:09:15.820
if you were to put that question in a referendum to Canadians,
00:09:21.040
do you think there is any appetite of Canadians going to Ukraine and getting
00:09:31.880
I would ask the people who are serving in the military,
00:09:37.660
throw Canadian boys on the bonfire of this stuff now,
00:09:44.600
out of control reactions to a very short clip of a very long press
00:10:14.040
She's reacting to the tense exchange between President Trump and President
00:10:23.180
clearly the Russians are noting the interaction that happened today.
00:10:36.580
you consider being a part of what makes it possible.
00:10:39.820
You can do so by subscribing to our exclusive content at rebel news plus.com.
00:10:52.260
And it's for a cheap price as low as $8 to start.
00:11:09.360
Then when you asked me the question before I saw the interaction,
00:11:17.940
We think Ukrainians are fighting for their own freedoms,
00:11:22.220
And we know that president Putin has no red lines and he is if,
00:11:32.720
there's a real risk that president Putin will go back to Russia,
00:11:48.360
Now what I would add to that is clearly the Russians are noting the
00:11:56.680
And so our goal is to make sure that we can continue to support
00:12:01.440
Ukrainians and that we can keep very strong G7 unity amidst all this
00:12:14.220
I go back to that meeting in the white house where there was not a good
00:12:19.960
but a great deal for Ukraine on the table in terms of the U S buying
00:12:28.780
to quote one former Russian president was an insolent pig.
00:12:36.020
because of Trump derangement syndrome it's the president getting called out,
00:12:41.000
but I learned something very interesting today.
00:12:48.220
a conversation of a similar nature with Zelensky,
00:12:51.940
where he was going to send another 1 billion U S dollars to Ukraine.
00:12:57.280
And before president Biden could finish his sentence,
00:13:04.980
all these other needs and demands and how there's far more billions needed.
00:13:20.020
why is it just when big bad orange man rightfully loses his temper?
00:13:27.120
it's all hands on deck to denounce the president.
00:13:37.220
can you show some respect for the office and wear a suit and tie and not look
00:13:55.020
And evidently this was information I didn't know.
00:13:59.100
Why is Zelensky being an ingrate in terms of this multi-billion dollar minerals deal?
00:14:07.960
he had meetings with Democrats advising him to reject the Trump deal.
00:14:19.260
It's 2025 white house under new management right now.
00:14:26.500
So until he apologizes and comes back hat in hand,
00:14:38.380
and look before the CBC accuses us of being pro Russian propagandists,
00:14:43.860
I don't think Ezra can even go to Russia given that he wrote a book called,
00:14:50.520
groundswell that is quite critical of gas production.
00:14:56.320
but here's the thing you're not allowed to in this country,
00:15:03.320
I can be both anti-Russian expansionism and anti-invasion,
00:15:14.100
I don't know how that position is no longer acceptable that you can be anti-Russian expansionism,
00:15:30.340
I think something that will never resolve unless a peace deal is struck.
00:15:35.800
Like they will just continue to throw bodies on this until a peace deal is struck.
00:15:41.780
And I think both sides have to come to that realization.
00:15:58.380
The Americans have sent over a third of a trillion dollars to Ukraine.
00:16:13.220
But moreover to the point I was trying to make from the very beginning of this,
00:16:17.340
but I got myself off on a side note or a side quest there.
00:16:23.440
who should be really paying attention to what just happened?
00:16:25.720
In the white house is the liberals because Donald Trump rolled up the world's darling
00:16:36.840
stuffed him in a trunk and then threw him in the ditch in front of the world's media
00:16:46.320
He took the petulance for 40 minutes straight before JD Vance said enough is enough.
00:16:55.100
So what do you think he is going to do to Mark Carney and these liberals,
00:17:07.380
It's another thing to define yourself as the anti-America party.
00:17:11.780
And if we think that he's not going to do the exact same thing to,
00:17:27.380
and I totally agree that several things can be correct at the same time.
00:17:41.640
instead of saying there are several things that can be right at the same time,
00:18:31.580
I don't know how this resolves any other way than peace negotiations.
00:18:40.400
And there will come a time where the Western world,
00:18:43.880
regardless of the rhetoric about how Ukraine is fighting for the rest of us,
00:18:52.380
And so there has to be some resolution before that.
00:18:58.200
but I also hate the idea of young men on both sides being tossed into this mess
00:19:24.700
You're going to see young Ukrainian males suffering from PTSD for decades to come,
00:19:35.400
Not to mention those who went to the front who lost limbs in this conflict.
00:19:51.380
wants some quid pro quo for all these billions of dollars.
00:19:59.960
but he wants a quid pro quo in terms of getting precious minerals to the U.S.
00:20:07.020
And Zelensky is going to have to swallow the fact that Ukraine is going to have to give up territory to Russia.
00:20:16.740
It's as simple as that in order to put this to an end.
00:20:28.120
There's no other way forward except negotiations.
00:20:31.460
Even if the Ukrainians don't have minerals that the Americans want,
00:20:43.340
I can think that Putin is a bad guy and that Zelensky is not running this right.
00:20:48.060
I think those two things can be true in my head at the very same time.
00:21:05.880
especially the way he has basically canceled democracy in Ukraine.
00:21:15.480
even if there are no precious minerals in Ukraine,
00:21:24.180
At Doug Ford's victory speech on Thursday night,
00:21:39.600
When are we going to see this ring of fire getting developed?
00:21:48.160
the province of Ontario might have had a little bit more bargaining leverage
00:21:56.860
But hindsight's 2020 and Doug Ford appears to be blind.
00:22:07.120
basically we're going to shut the Americans out.
00:22:09.280
We have to work together with the UK to address the unpredictability coming out of the White House.
00:22:15.220
I think unpredictability is the absolute wrong word.
00:22:22.140
And Trump has been telling us what he's going to do for a very long time.
00:22:25.820
And they're just upset that he's following through.
00:22:35.060
And so I'm confident that we will be able to continue this strong partnership between Canada and the UK on full display.
00:22:44.960
we need to work together on addressing the unpredictability that is coming out of the White House.
00:22:53.920
And we're working on finding ways to work on counter tariffs,
00:23:11.120
the unpredictability is what those tariffs will be in terms of how much,
00:23:32.920
And I don't have a firm understanding of what's going to be nailed and what's going to be spared and what the rates are.
00:23:51.900
Trump sort of said something about that last week.
00:24:05.920
on the stuff that Trump has been talking about,
00:24:09.220
we haven't really seen any work done by the Canadians on it.
00:24:15.260
And then I never heard anything from him again.
00:24:19.140
I'm not sure if this is the right guy for the job,
00:24:30.200
I think that's really important in the media relations game here is that if you appoint a fentanyl czar,
00:24:36.620
you need to have the perception that he's working.
00:24:42.260
Not for Canadians and not for Americans either.
00:24:46.800
why do we always use the term czar for the head honcho in a Western democracy?
00:24:56.480
Toronto needs a traffic czar to get cars moving again in Hogtown.
00:25:11.940
It was either 45 or 48 kilograms of fentanyl were intercepted at the border.
00:25:23.040
48 or 45 kilograms of fentanyl were intercepted.
00:25:37.100
And I'm sorry if Donald Trump wants to protect American borders and American lives.
00:25:47.680
last year I went to a Pierre Poliev rally here in Toronto,
00:25:53.000
this was an unbelievable anecdote of how law enforcement has been working under the Justin Trudeau liberals.
00:25:59.540
He talked about somebody in Toronto who had his luxury SUV stolen,
00:26:08.760
he followed it all the way to Montreal and he went to the shipping yards where it was being loaded onto a boxcar.
00:26:17.400
The CBSA agents arrested him for trespassing on the shipping yards and didn't do anything about his,
00:26:25.680
I think it was a Lexus SUV about to be shipped over to Nigeria.
00:26:35.680
we grabbed 45 kilograms of fentanyl or whatever it was,
00:27:14.120
I just want to go to this one video of Polly of,
00:27:34.160
Like he should be Canada first that because that's who he's planning to lead.
00:27:39.340
So I thought that was just sort of a weird criticism,
00:27:43.400
Polly of points out the lack of foresight again,
00:27:47.200
by the Trudeau liberals in blocking all those darn pipelines.
00:27:52.500
if we had a million barrels of Western Canadian oil going to Europe right now,
00:27:55.560
would Putin be able to fund a three year long war?
00:28:01.820
we could take a bite out of Gazprom funding the war machine,
00:28:10.340
Best way to provide support is by selling Canadian energy,
00:28:14.840
breaking the Russian monopoly that finances the war.
00:28:19.340
Putin has total dominance on the European energy market because Canada under
00:28:28.840
I wonder sometimes if we had a million barrels of Western Canadian oil going to
00:28:36.380
if we had thousands of cubic feet every day of natural gas going to Europe from
00:28:44.840
would Putin have been able to fund a three year long war?
00:28:49.360
But Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney said there was no business case for exporting LNG and oil.
00:28:59.000
The last minute promises they make before elections are not even worth the promises,
00:29:06.080
Only the conservatives will repeal the liberal anti-development law and rapidly export Canadian
00:29:12.900
oil and gas and other materials to break dependence on dirty dictators and bring home powerful paychecks
00:29:29.060
Germany is dependent on Russia for 60 to 70% of their oil needs,
00:29:36.560
70% and you're going to be talking tough to Russia when Russia can basically win a war,
00:29:48.020
The idea that this government said there was no business case,
00:29:59.240
begging for our liquefied natural gas and blackface saying there's no business case.
00:30:04.500
And that was almost 1 trillion with a T dollars.
00:30:13.940
I guess we don't have Canadians going to the food banks.
00:30:16.220
I guess we don't have unemployment and a cost of living and a healthcare crisis.
00:30:24.920
Poliev should have become the next prime minister.
00:30:27.280
He unburdens this nation of the shackles so that we can develop our energy sector and export
00:30:40.340
And the liberals have done their best to hide the number of times Japan has asked us for access to our liquefied natural gas.
00:30:51.480
the last time the Japanese leader visited Canada,
00:30:56.320
the only way you knew that he once again brought up the issue of liquefied natural gas was if you looked at the Japanese readout of the meeting,
00:31:07.840
because it was not in the Canadian readout of the meeting because they don't want the world to know how many times they've said no to offset,
00:31:20.640
like not just said no to selling Western Canadian oil and gas,
00:31:26.540
in their worldview said no to fighting Russia with an economic sanction.
00:31:50.640
The liberals hate Western Canada more than they hate Putin.
00:31:57.340
That's the only way that I can come to that conclusion is look,
00:32:00.360
if you don't like Putin and you won't shut up about not liking Putin,
00:32:03.840
why wouldn't you let us sell our oil and gas to the world to offset Putin's gas from?
00:32:25.480
The other point I believe is ludicrous virtue signaling.
00:32:31.800
We're not going to contribute anywhere in the world to CO2 emissions.
00:32:39.380
two punch driving this government because fiscally this is lunacy.
00:32:53.240
I'm just going to pay the bills with a quick ad read and then we'll do a rebel news ad.
00:33:05.960
campaigning to the Americans after telling us to cancel our American vacations and not drink Florida orange juice.
00:33:18.440
Like her whole personality is anti-Americanism except when she wants to be like the fancy worldly Canadian,
00:33:30.520
this sponsorship is from our friends at rumble and it's fun.
00:33:33.120
That's incredibly important to the survival of rumble,
00:33:35.640
but also us here at rebel news because rumble stood by us when nobody else would.
00:33:46.880
They were fair and treated all creators equally.
00:33:50.100
No one thought platforms would censor political conversation or censor opinions on COVID,
00:33:55.380
Facebook even admitted they fell to pressure from the Biden and Harris administration.
00:34:07.620
They are attacked daily for giving us a voice to talk to you.
00:34:13.000
They're attacked from brand advertisers who refuse to work with them.
00:34:15.920
Corporate America is fighting to remove speech.
00:34:20.220
won't survive with brand advertisers because they just don't get much of it.
00:34:24.280
Watching our show on rumble is the most they can ask from you.
00:34:29.120

00:34:51.020
if you have the means and believe in the cause,
00:35:01.360
and then come back in with Doug Ford and then Freeland campaigning to the Americans for some reason,
00:35:10.820
Hopefully you're having a good time with this podcast,
00:35:13.540
but I guarantee a better time would be coming to Alaska with me,
00:35:22.000
You've got to find out more at our special website,
00:35:45.500
What would an America first strategy for Canada U.S. trade look like?
00:35:49.720
Is there room for a Trump style mega deal even bigger than Greenland?
00:36:01.100
which made the liberal argument that the oil sands are the fair trade coffee of the world's oil industry.
00:36:09.600
I look at Canada U.S. trade through an America first lens,
00:36:13.400
and I come to the conclusion that far from putting tariffs on Canadian oil,
00:36:20.060
$13 trillion deal to buy all 170 billion barrels of Canada's oil sands,
00:36:27.140
shutting out China and giving Canada the means to pay for a rebuilt military.
00:36:35.060
well, he'll be gone as prime minister in a few weeks,
00:36:38.060
but I've got a better suggestion for how Trump can slap Trudeau around a bit without hurting America's economic interests.
00:37:00.480
They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
00:37:04.520
But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms.
00:37:13.560
but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
00:37:21.060
Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love.
00:37:25.780
Now, Sheila, before we get on to Ontario's number one cherry cheesecake enthusiast and Fraulein Freeland,
00:37:37.720
I just want to confirm you were questioning in the first segment if czar is spelt C-Z,
00:37:46.200
And I want to tell you a quick anecdote on words that begin with C-Z.
00:37:51.620
I was in a spelling bee and I was very often winning it because the way it worked, folks,
00:37:58.080
is that you gave to a fellow classmate a word and if they couldn't spell it,
00:38:11.880
which I don't think I can spell even right now as an adult.
00:38:18.540
well, I had a pencil and it was marked made in Czechoslovakia.
00:38:25.600
And it worked every time until I forgot my pencil and was outed as a cheat.
00:38:42.960
Doug Ford really thinks he's taking a W here because he thinks the way around,
00:38:48.080
like, billions of dollars in tariffs being slapped on the auto sector is...
00:38:57.180
He's going to win the tariff war with the LCBO.
00:39:03.180
I said, number one, I don't start a tariff war,
00:39:14.380
We're the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world.
00:39:17.820
To remove every bit of U.S. alcohol off the shelves.
00:39:21.080
I know my good friend, the governor of Kentucky,
00:39:33.140
We purchased over a billion dollars of alcohol,
00:39:43.280
Then we're going to cancel Starlink right away from Elon Musk.
00:39:48.180
Not that $100 million makes a difference for him,
00:39:52.440
I've directed the procurement of over $30 billion of goods,
00:39:57.900
not to go to the U.S. to make sure we buy Ontario first.
00:40:03.120
If we can't find it in Ontario and we can't build it in Ontario,
00:40:07.980
We have 51 tariff-free agreements with countries around the world.
00:40:18.360
because this is something I know a thing or two about
00:40:23.380
First of all, when Doug Ford says the LCBO is the biggest purchaser
00:40:33.840
Secondly, Dougie, what are you going to do about addressing
00:40:44.260
the LCBO allotted approximately 17% of shelf space
00:40:50.140
to Ontario wines, even though those wines bring in 38% of revenue.
00:41:03.580
France, Germany, South Africa, Portugal, Italy, Chile, you name it.
00:41:15.040
That's a lie, because I had a lawyer go through the 1,400 pages
00:41:24.440
So, and if you go to, say, a Parisian liquor store in France,
00:41:39.380
So, if we're under international trade agreements,
00:41:43.120
why aren't the other partners to that agreement?
00:41:49.800
So, when Doug Ford is saying he's going to make tough with Kentucky,
00:41:53.880
his own, and by the way, I want to say this too, Sheila,
00:42:11.380
So, don't give me this crap about getting tough
00:42:13.900
with international players that are being unfair
00:43:01.000
for not removing interprovincial trade barriers.
00:43:39.580
We're going to work with First Nations communities.
00:44:44.460
he made when he first won the election in 2018.
00:45:09.000
So, and almost as strong as his previous mandate.
00:45:14.420
That's what we're going to have to put up with.
00:45:46.380
Or do we want to go to Bill taking her to task?
00:46:11.240
I know, well, let's show the climate change one
00:46:38.440
limiting the amount of time you can idle your car.
00:46:49.880
before we decided we didn't want to spend our money
