Rebel News Podcast - REBEL ROUNDUP ｜ Carney commits to NATO, Islamic values are Cdn, CPC voters back Alberta separatism

00:00:00.000 Feel like Ottawa's got its boot on Alberta's neck? Well, it's time to push back. Join us for Rebel News Live Saturday, June 14th at the Red Deer Curling Centre. Spend the day with Ezra Levant, me, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and a powerhouse lineup of freedom fighters, political thinkers, and grassroots leaders. We're talking energy, free speech, and especially independence, and how the West can finally stop getting screwed.

00:00:25.380 This isn't just a conference, it's a rallying cry. Tickets are going fast. Get yours now at donegettingscrewed.com. Stand up, speak out, be there.

00:00:35.900 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. You have tuned in to the Rebel News Livestream on this same Monday, June 9th, 2025.

00:00:58.920 I'm David Menzies, and my co-host, well, let me tell you a bit about my co-host, shall I?

00:01:05.540 Folks, do you know that today is National Donald Duck Day? And my co-host was planning to celebrate it, and then she decided against it because, really, who gives a duck?

00:01:18.540 She is the Sheetal with a sword. She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is the sensational Sheila Gunn-Reed. Hey, Sheila, how are you? I hope you're feeling better. 0.97

00:01:29.540 I'm doing about 75% better, I think, than I was when I was gone. Hopefully, my voice holds up. I've got enough medication in me, enough drugs in me for a small South American country, as I told Ezra a couple of days ago, but we're going to get through this.

00:01:48.160 I'm happy to be back. I don't like the fact that my colleagues had to pick up the slack for me last week and cover off the live stream, but it's not like I was having a holiday. I was working. I was in the UK, and I was in Regina, so it's not like I just was like, you know what, Tamara, you got her from here.

00:02:06.220 No, I was flat-out working and very sick, as you will hear from clips from that time, but I'm not one to take a day off, and today is more of the same. I'm actually surprised that you didn't make a joke about my voice on Donald Duck Day.

00:02:25.200 I'm not sure it resembles Donald Duck, but speaking of cartoon duck, Sheila, here's the big question. It's kind of like Ginger or Marianne from Gillian's Island. Donald Duck or Daffy Duck? Who is your preference?

00:02:41.380 Scrooge. Scrooge McDuck.

00:02:43.480 No!

00:02:44.520 Yes! Darkwing Duck? He was more of a crime fighter than the rest of these duck layabouts. What about him? 1.00

00:02:51.680 No.

00:02:52.040 Oh, I got to take my glass off there. Give him too much glare.

00:02:55.200 No, I think Looney Tunes, their characters, especially the early days, way more edgy than Disney was or ever will be.

00:03:03.320 That's because passive racism was allowed on TV back then. Of course they were edgy.

00:03:09.880 We should tell everybody what we're doing here today, and I can't go too, too long because I have an appointment after the live stream today, but we'll tell everybody what we're doing.

00:03:20.160 It looks like a cat or something has been in my studio while I was gone for a week because I'm not framed in properly.

00:03:26.340 I can't go too much over a little there.

00:03:29.420 We'll tell everybody what we're doing, and we'll tell everybody about a very special event we have coming up in Red Deer after we're done that.

00:03:36.420 But this is, of course, the Rebel News live show. It's a live news and opinion show.

00:03:43.240 We take the news as it happens and give you our hot and spicy takes as they come to us.

00:03:49.580 It's called Rebel Roundup. If you want to get involved, there are a couple ways where we democratize the show because without you, there's no Rebel News.

00:03:57.480 So if you are watching us on Rumble, we appreciate Rumble and their strong stand for free speech.

00:04:05.100 They never censored Rebel News once. If you want to support us over there, their paid chat is called a Rumble Rant.

00:04:11.720 If it's over the $5 U.S. cutoff, we're obligating ourselves to read it on air.

00:04:15.380 If it's under that, we'll do our very best to get to it. Just no promises.

00:04:18.380 But you chatters who fall under the $5 mark, you know I do my best to get your chats.

00:04:24.740 And if you're watching us on the censorship platform of YouTube, of which we are recently re-monetized, I remain shocked every time that we can get a super chat over there.

00:04:35.860 It's always a surprise when we remain re-monetized over there.

00:04:39.420 But if you want to leave us a super chat, that's their paid chat over there.

00:04:42.560 Helps us cover the cost of doing the work that we do here at Rebel News.

00:04:46.860 Every little bit helps. We'll never take a penny from Mark Carney.

00:04:49.180 But if you're watching the recorded version of the live stream after the fact, this is past Sheila speaking to future viewers.

00:04:58.540 You can leave something called a super thanks.

00:05:01.080 That's their paid comment if you are moved by the spirit to help us.

00:05:05.640 So there's that.

00:05:06.780 Now, I alluded to the event that's coming up in Red Deer this Saturday.

00:05:13.140 It is Independence Town Hall.

00:05:19.160 It's a full day event.

00:05:21.100 It's like an independence convention slash symposium.

00:05:24.540 We'll have people from both sides of the Western independence debate.

00:05:28.560 I don't want to say Alberta independence because if Alberta goes, if Albertans choose to leave Confederation,

00:05:36.580 do you think Saskatchewanites, Saskies, are going to stay behind? 0.99

00:05:40.980 They're definitely not.

00:05:42.000 They're going to look around and say, take us with you.

00:05:46.700 And I think the dominoes are going to fall.

00:05:49.040 But those decisions will be made by the people of those respective provinces and not our Laurentian overlords telling us to sit down and shut up.

00:05:56.820 So if you want tickets, go to donegettingscrewed.com.

00:06:02.280 We actually even have Dallas Brody, MLA from BC, who says, you know, this is obviously a concern in British Columbia, particularly in the interior.

00:06:13.240 They're going to look around and see Alberta and Saskatchewan gone, look at Vancouver, look at Ottawa and say, excuse me, is there room in the minivan for us?

00:06:23.840 We'd like to go on this little trip with you too.

00:06:25.800 So we've got, like I said, we've got people from all sides of the debate.

00:06:30.200 We've got Keith Wilson, you know him as a trucker lawyer, but before he was trucker lawyer, he was independence lawyer.

00:06:37.340 And Dallas Brody, as I said, and we're actually adding people all the time.

00:06:43.140 So go to donegettingscrewed.com.

00:06:47.940 The tickets are pretty affordable.

00:06:50.620 I think early board pricing is still in effect.

00:06:53.980 Can we scroll down and remind me of that?

00:06:55.880 As I said, it was sort of out of commission for a week, but I think they're $45 for a full day event.

00:07:04.620 Correct me if I'm wrong, Efron, Olivia, behind the scenes, I don't want to give the wrong pricing.

00:07:08.600 But you can get the details at donegettingscrewed.com.

00:07:11.420 Look at this list of speakers.

00:07:13.840 Ezra, me, I'm sort of the emcee of the event.

00:07:17.460 Keith Wilson, David Knight-Legg, he's a Western political analyst, and he's on the stay side.

00:07:22.880 Dallas Brody, independent MLA from BC.

00:07:25.300 Corey Morgan, independence activist and author.

00:07:28.060 Derek Fildebrandt, he's a Western separatist.

00:07:32.680 Over at the Western Standard, David Parker, we know David Parker from Take Back Alberta.

00:07:37.260 Rachel Parker, he's a lovely wife and mother of his child.

00:07:40.900 She's an independent journalist.

00:07:42.320 Key and Baxter, our alumnus, over at the Counter Signal.

00:07:45.820 And our friends at the Alberta Prosperity Project, too, are also involved.

00:07:50.620 So get your tickets at donegettingscrewed.com.

00:07:53.960 Dennis Modry.

00:07:54.760 Yes.

00:07:55.040 Renown heart surgeon.

00:07:55.900 And someone who is one of the early adopters of no lockdowns, thank you very much, here in Alberta.

00:08:04.900 As someone with medical expertise, he was painted also as a kook.

00:08:10.440 They're doing the same now with the Western separatism.

00:08:13.880 But anyways, tickets are selling fast.

00:08:17.360 And because the tickets are at an affordable price point for a full day's symposium, they are going to go fast.

00:08:25.680 So that's this Saturday.

00:08:28.140 And go to donegettingscrewed.com right now.

00:08:30.760 Get your tickets right now.

00:08:31.940 There you go.

00:08:32.560 VIP tickets for the special VIP experience.

00:08:36.260 There's a VIP dinner with the speakers and your favorite Rebels.

00:08:40.540 And $45 general admission.

00:08:42.960 That's early bird pricing until, like, tonight.

00:08:46.360 So go right now.

00:08:48.400 Not right now.

00:08:48.980 Wait until after the live stream.

00:08:50.240 But leave the note for yourself to do it.

00:08:53.360 Get your early bird pricing at $45.

00:08:56.260 Usually we charge $100 for a full day Rebel News Live-style event.

00:09:00.800 So that's a great price for what you're getting.

00:09:03.100 And you'll be able to ask questions of the speakers.

00:09:06.860 You know, I'm really looking forward to hearing from Keith Wilson, who has really thought about these issues.

00:09:13.280 People's reservations and apprehensions about separatism.

00:09:17.700 You know, like, what do we do about the military?

00:09:19.140 What do we do about the police?

00:09:20.080 What do we do about the pension?

00:09:21.080 What do we do about passports?

00:09:22.380 He's thought about all of that and done the research.

00:09:25.140 And he's a constitutional lawyer.

00:09:26.520 So he is the guy to ask.

00:09:30.160 Anyways, it's at donegettingscrewed.com.

00:09:33.980 There you go.

00:09:34.960 And I guess, Sheila, my invitation to be a speaker at the event, I suppose I got held up in the ongoing mail dispute right now.

00:09:42.280 We've heard enough from Easterners. 1.00

00:09:44.460 Thank you.

00:09:45.180 That's the whole point of the event.

00:09:46.640 I would love to come to Red Deer, Alberta, even though there is a very high possibility I might bump into Ron McLean.

00:09:54.780 And which makes a mockery of your incessant claim, Sheila, that Alberta is a rat-free province.

00:10:02.120 But I'll take one for the team.

00:10:04.380 He spends most of his time in Toronto anyway.

00:10:08.220 Sheila, one last note about this.

00:10:10.040 I know we're aiming, I think, for 600 attendees in that room, which is likely doable.

00:10:16.400 There's three options.

00:10:18.080 There is the status quo.

00:10:19.660 Alberta stays in confederation.

00:10:21.620 There is, number two, separation.

00:10:24.060 Or number three, becoming the 51st state.

00:10:28.180 You know Alberta better than anyone.

00:10:31.000 What do you think the mood in the room was?

00:10:33.380 I mean, you know, it might be interesting.

00:10:35.060 I'm not telling you how to run the event.

00:10:36.840 But if people had to vote one, two, or three, how do you see the majority in Red Deer voting in terms of those three options?

00:10:47.920 I think there's actually a fourth option in the mix.

00:10:50.180 And that is sort of a sovereignty association kind of deal, wherein we stay within confederation but get a better deal.

00:10:58.600 And I don't think that's actually a reasonable thing, because if we were going to get a better deal within confederation, we shouldn't have to vote to leave to get it.

00:11:09.380 But I think the room would be probably split 50-50.

00:11:13.860 Wow.

00:11:14.300 Between joining America and finding our own path forward as an independent and sovereign nation.

00:11:24.480 Wow.

00:11:24.740 So the status quo isn't even on the table, you're saying?

00:11:27.340 I severely doubt it.

00:11:29.660 I mean, I think the latest polling data, I mean, it just keeps going up and up and up.

00:11:35.320 The more Mark Carney talks, the more independence keeps going up.

00:11:39.920 Like it was at like one-third, and now it's closer to over four in ten, closer to five in ten, so 50% of Albertans.

00:11:48.600 And that's without Trump coming on strong to us.

00:11:51.500 Like, I think Trump's overtures to Albertans will begin post the G7 in Kananaskis, because he's going to go to Kananaskis and say, holy moly, look at this place.

00:12:06.600 This is one of the most beautiful places on the face of the earth.

00:12:10.060 They've got all the food.

00:12:12.100 They grow all the food.

00:12:13.480 They've got all the oil and gas.

00:12:15.100 Between us, Saskatchewan, and the interior of British Columbia, we've got all the mining.

00:12:20.200 He's going to say, and yet Ottawa is pushing them out the door?

00:12:25.460 Come into my loving bosom, is what he's going to say.

00:12:28.800 Once he sees how beautiful it is, he's not going to understand why people treat us so poorly.

00:12:33.760 Hey, works for me, Sheila, somewhere in Alberta, being the new home of a Trump resort and casino and golf course, of course.

00:12:40.940 Trump Tower, Kananaskis.

00:12:44.680 By the way, Sheila, you mentioned Mark Carney, and as the saying goes, speak of the devil and he shall appear.

00:12:50.440 Well, not appear, but at least we have our first news item.

00:12:53.940 Canada will achieve NATO's 2% target this year, half a decade ahead of schedule.

00:13:03.700 In an increasingly dangerous world, we will be ready to protect our people, our sovereignty, and our allies.

00:13:10.420 Sheila, I'll give you my take on this, and then I want to hear what you have to say,

00:13:13.680 and I'd love to hear what our audience has to say via a super chat.

00:13:17.220 First of all, this business is about half a decade ahead of schedule.

00:13:21.760 Well, that's really rich.

00:13:24.560 Canada, I understand, is the biggest laggard of all the NATO members when it comes to funding.

00:13:30.440 Basically, you're going to own up to what your obligations are.

00:13:36.140 And so that ludicrous blackface target of 2030, I mean, why not 2040, 2050? 1.00

00:13:43.140 Secondly, Sheila, what does this cost?

00:13:47.720 The Carney liberals are saying this means an added $9 billion.

00:13:51.940 Is anyone buying that?

00:13:54.480 I can't see going to 2% being just a $9 billion upreach.

00:14:01.680 I think it's going to be much higher.

00:14:03.920 Secondly, there's no mention, and maybe this is a separate line item, or maybe it isn't.

00:14:09.400 Who knows when you're dealing with Mark Carney, what about the Golden Dome commitments?

00:14:14.960 Remember, President Trump wants us to be a partner and a financial partner in funding the Golden Dome,

00:14:22.080 and certainly he needs a functional Golden Dome to include Canada.

00:14:26.480 So what does that cost, and what are the deadlines for that?

00:14:30.180 And secondly, even if we're going to achieve that 2% target this year, how do we do it, Sheila?

00:14:36.940 Right now, we know recruitment is in the dumpster with the Canadian forces.

00:14:42.900 I don't know, maybe it's the idea of fighting men really don't want to join up with an organization

00:14:46.820 that is dispensing tampons in the men's room. 0.91

00:14:50.440 And also, in terms of the equipment, I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong,

00:14:56.000 I don't think we have that capability of manufacturing armored personnel carriers, tanks,

00:15:02.080 you know, to the requirement of meeting that 2%.

00:15:06.220 Maybe that has to be outsourced.

00:15:08.120 I'm not sure.

00:15:09.280 So I think this statement brings about more questions than it does clarity.

00:15:17.060 What say you?

00:15:17.760 Yeah, I mean, I think his solution is just going to be to shovel money at NATO

00:15:23.980 instead of fixing all the structural issues.

00:15:28.280 And, like, does he want a pat on the back?

00:15:30.880 What he's doing is saying,

00:15:33.740 we haven't paid our credit card for years and years and years,

00:15:39.020 but this month we're going to pay the minimum balance a day early.

00:15:46.300 Congratulations.

00:15:47.760 You'd like to say, oh, we're going to meet our 2% spending target ahead of schedule.

00:15:53.600 Ahead of what schedule?

00:15:54.780 You're late.

00:15:55.440 You're years late on it.

00:15:57.360 You should have been paying this years and years and years ago.

00:15:59.580 We're not pulling our weight.

00:16:00.980 And that's one of the reasons the Americans are constantly mad about us,

00:16:03.700 at us on this issue.

00:16:04.980 Yeah, that's a great analogy.

00:16:06.900 And, of course, where would the money come from if we needed extra money?

00:16:10.780 Well, it would be coming from your home province, Sheila.

00:16:12.720 It would be oil and natural gas in a pipeline going to British Columbia,

00:16:18.380 which the Carney liberals say, we have no problem with that.

00:16:21.760 Oh, look at the asterisk.

00:16:23.740 Check the fine print.

00:16:24.840 Once again, devil in the details.

00:16:27.040 Unless the premier of such and such a province is against it.

00:16:31.360 And we know the NDP premier of British Columbia is dead set against pipelines going into its profits.

00:16:38.300 And so Carney's very sneaky in a Patrick Brown kind of way.

00:16:43.080 He's making the premier to be the heavy because, you know, he's basically saying,

00:16:46.940 well, if it wasn't for him, we'd green light it.

00:16:49.940 Oh, yeah.

00:16:50.680 Yeah.

00:16:51.500 He's off-sourcing.

00:16:52.860 He's offloading the voices of no.

00:16:55.200 Yes.

00:16:55.600 To somebody else that he doesn't have to wear it around his neck like a political millstone. 1.00

00:17:00.480 As if Canadians are that stupid. 1.00

00:17:03.160 He is the prime minister of the confederation. 1.00

00:17:07.080 If we're just going to let all the little Balkan states of Canada decide what happens 1.00

00:17:12.040 for all the other little Balkan states of Canada, what exactly does he do around here?

00:17:17.040 He could just, why do we need him?

00:17:19.860 Incredible.

00:17:20.560 And to carry on the Carney theme, I see we do have a video clip.

00:17:24.460 It's Prime Minister Carney drawing a link between defending the territorial integrity,

00:17:31.400 his words, of Ukraine-Gaza.

00:17:35.140 Gaza.

00:17:35.600 And the Canadian Arctic?

00:17:37.820 What?

00:17:37.980 No.

00:17:38.760 My God.

00:17:40.560 I haven't seen this. 1.00

00:17:41.960 This is next level stupid, I'm sure. 1.00

00:17:44.340 Check it out. 1.00

00:17:44.720 I'm coming in hot.

00:17:45.720 Let's watch.

00:17:46.320 When we stand up for territorial integrity, whether it's in Ukraine or West Bank and Gaza,

00:17:56.200 we are also standing up for the territorial integrity of the Canadian Arctic.

00:18:01.540 Ten years ago, Canada's defence spending fell to less than 1% of GDP.

00:18:09.280 It has since doubled in cash terms, but it's still not close enough to face these mounting risks.

00:18:17.740 The brave women and men who are protecting our sovereignty do not have the resources they need for a riskier world.

00:18:25.580 Our military infrastructure and equipment have aged, hindering our military preparedness.

00:18:31.980 I'll give an example or two.

00:18:35.220 Only one of our four submarines is seaworthy.

00:18:40.100 Less than half our maritime fleet and land vehicles are operational.

00:18:44.380 More broadly, we're too reliant on the United States.

00:18:49.100 And so, for all those reasons, I'm announcing today that Canada will achieve NATO's 2% of GDP target this year, half a decade ahead of schedule.

00:19:09.860 And we will further accelerate our investments in years to come.

00:19:19.100 Consistent with meeting these new security imperatives, we'll start by changing the way we support and invest in our armed forces.

00:19:28.860 We will change the way we arm the men and women who serve, so we can fight on new battlegrounds in unfamiliar territory.

00:19:37.860 So we can defend every inch of our sovereign territory, from seafloor to the Arctic to cyberspace.

00:19:43.860 Cyberspace?

00:19:44.860 So we can protect Canadians, our interests and our allies.

00:19:48.860 Canada's new government will rebuild, reinvest and rearm the Canadian armed forces with a strategy that rests on four pillars.

00:19:57.860 Investing in the foundations of defense.

00:20:02.860 The women and men who serve.

00:20:04.860 And the equipment and infrastructure that they use.

00:20:09.860 Second, we will enhance and expand our military capabilities.

00:20:14.860 Third, we'll strengthen Canada's defense industry.

00:20:19.860 Second, we will strengthen Canada's defense partnerships.

00:20:26.860 I call on all parties in Parliament to support these critical investments in our security and sovereignty.

00:20:34.860 Our plan will help ensure that Canada is strong at home and reliable abroad.

00:20:41.860 We will ensure that every dollar is invested wisely, including by prioritizing made in Canada manufacturing and supply chains.

00:20:49.860 We should no longer send three quarters of our defense capital spending to America.

00:20:56.860 Well, Sheila, I don't know where to begin.

00:20:57.860 Well, Sheila, I don't know where to begin.

00:20:58.860 First of all, in terms of spending every dollar wisely and a made in Canada defense, you know, solution.

00:21:06.860 I think, is Carney hinting at all those white elephant EV battery plants that we've invested billions into?

00:21:15.860 Are they going to be converted into making all-terrain military vehicles and tanks and whatnot?

00:21:21.860 I mean, at least, unlike your solution, Sheila, of turning them into casinos, I mean, something productive would be happening.

00:21:30.860 But I want to just focus on the prime minister in his own words, half of military vehicles.

00:21:38.860 Right.

00:21:39.860 I wrote that down.

00:21:40.860 Over half are inoperable.

00:21:42.860 Yeah.

00:21:43.860 And he said something, I think, words to the effect of, we're dependent on the United States, I'm assuming, for parts to make them operable.

00:21:51.860 Then, the most scathing thing, one out of our four submarines is operational.

00:21:57.860 You know, it reminds me of the great Thomas Dolby song, one of our submarines is missing.

00:22:03.860 The Canadian version is, one of our submarines is actually working.

00:22:07.860 Right.

00:22:08.860 The rest of the fleet is in dry dock.

00:22:10.860 Those aren't those used submarines we bought from England decades ago.

00:22:15.860 Right.

00:22:16.860 They were selling for scrap.

00:22:17.860 We did the same thing with the CF-18s.

00:22:19.860 And the thing is, and the connection, Sheila, I'm getting to, if you're talking about Arctic sovereignty, what do you need?

00:22:26.860 You need icebreakers and you need submarines.

00:22:29.860 Right.

00:22:30.860 And so we are incapable of enforcing our own boundaries, by the prime minister's own words.

00:22:38.860 But the biggest horrible thing about this indictment of incompetence, who was in charge the last decade?

00:22:45.860 Right.

00:22:46.860 That was what I wrote down.

00:22:47.860 Who was the financial advisor to blackface them?

00:22:49.860 That's what I wrote down.

00:22:50.860 I'm like, I hope Mark Carney finds out who is responsible for this mess over the last 10 years.

00:22:55.860 Yeah.

00:22:56.860 Our new liberal government.

00:22:57.860 You mean the same one that oversaw this?

00:22:59.860 Exactly. 0.98

00:23:00.860 And did a damn thing about it? 0.99

00:23:02.860 That was the only point that I had to make was the place is decrepit. 0.99

00:23:06.860 He listed how decrepit the Canadian military is, but sort of skates around the fact that it was his liberals who did it.

00:23:17.860 Plus all the same people involved, like Anita and Nand, all the same people are completely involved in it.

00:23:24.860 And did you notice he shoehorned the West Bank and Gaza into the same issue of territorial sovereignty?

00:23:35.860 You mean Judea and Samaria?

00:23:38.860 Oh, you'll get those words out of him.

00:23:40.860 No.

00:23:42.860 As if the Israelis defending themselves against the terrorists who launched the Israeli version of 9-11 on them is somehow an issue of Israel not respecting the territorial sovereignty of Gaza.

00:24:02.860 Israel withdrew from Gaza.

00:24:03.860 They even dug up their debt.

00:24:05.860 Okay.

00:24:06.860 Hamas has been in charge. 1.00

00:24:10.860 Israel is launching a defensive war against Hamas there.

00:24:16.860 And I guess Greta Thunberg by extension, but we'll get to that in a minute.

00:24:21.860 But yeah, what a terrible, terrible prime minister we have.

00:24:25.860 Yeah.

00:24:26.860 And if anyone's saying, well, give him a chance, he's been behind the scenes for at least five years as the economic advisor to Justin Trudeau and this government.

00:24:36.860 This is the same old, same old with a fresh coat of paint on the leader.

00:24:42.860 And even that's not true because like I said, he has been connected for the last five years.

00:24:47.860 Unbelievable.

00:24:48.860 And you know what, Sheila?

00:24:49.860 It's too bad the independent media isn't there because maybe somebody did ask this question in the mainstream media, although I don't know of it where I stand now.

00:24:58.860 Why couldn't someone say, well, Mr. Carney, isn't this a scathing indictment of the incompetence of the last 10 years of the Justin Trudeau liberals?

00:25:08.860 Including members of your current cabinet.

00:25:11.860 Yes.

00:25:12.860 Like Anita Anand.

00:25:13.860 If you failed the military in procurement, perhaps you should not be in the current cabinet.

00:25:19.860 But this is the liberals who at least fail laterally if not upward.

00:25:24.860 Yeah.

00:25:25.860 Olivia advises me that we can skip this next clip because we do need to hit an ad break.

00:25:29.860 Oh, okay.

00:25:30.860 And I have to both blow my nose and cough and I don't think anybody wants that.

00:25:34.860 So we'll hit an ad break.

00:25:35.860 We'll be right back.

00:25:36.860 Hey, what do you think about Alberta independence?

00:25:39.860 What do you think about Alberta trying to get a better deal within Canada?

00:25:42.860 Do you think Alberta should have the right to vote in a referendum to separate the same way Quebec did?

00:25:47.860 There's a lot of things to talk about.

00:25:49.860 Can Canada be fixed?

00:25:51.860 Or has the West tried that, done that, been there, and it's just not working?

00:25:55.860 Well, we're going to talk about all these things in an amazing day-long conference in Red Deer, the heart of Alberta, on Saturday, June 14th.

00:26:05.860 Go to donegettingscrewed.com to get your tickets now.

00:26:10.860 It's going to be a full day.

00:26:11.860 We'll start with a continental breakfast.

00:26:12.860 We'll have panel discussions.

00:26:14.860 We'll have keynote speakers.

00:26:15.860 We'll even have a debate.

00:26:17.860 I think that's going to be the highlight of it.

00:26:19.860 David Legg, former advisor to the Alberta government, is going to make the case for Canada.

00:26:24.860 Keith Wilson, lawyer, freedom activist.

00:26:27.860 He was with the Freedom Convoy.

00:26:28.860 He'll be making the case for independence.

00:26:30.860 We'll have other people in the debates, a media panel, and people of different points of view, including different political parties.

00:26:37.860 There's going to be a bit of a trade show there, too.

00:26:40.860 So we'll serve you two meals, but more than that, we'll serve you ideas you just can't get anywhere else.

00:26:45.860 But it's coming up quick, and I promise you this event will sell out.

00:26:49.860 There's only room for a thousand people.

00:26:52.860 And I know that there have been thousand-person meetings about this subject all over the province.

00:26:57.860 In fact, we had an event in Calgary that sold out in two days when we had only 350 seats.

00:27:02.860 So don't be disappointed.

00:27:04.860 Go to donegettingscrewed.com and get your tickets now.

00:27:08.860 I'll be there.

00:27:09.860 Sheila Gunn-Reed will be there.

00:27:10.860 So many interesting people.

00:27:12.860 Our friends in other media companies like Western Standard, Juno News, and Counter Signal.

00:27:17.860 It's going to be a great day.

00:27:19.860 That's Saturday, June 14th in Red Deer, Alberta, all day long.

00:27:23.860 Go to donegettingscrewed.com to get your ticket now.

00:27:26.860 Don't wait.

00:27:27.860 I don't want you to be locked out.

00:27:29.860 It's going to be full.

00:27:30.860 See you there.

00:27:31.860 That's donegettingscrewed.com.

00:27:41.860 All right.

00:27:42.860 Don't you dare miss it as the late great Billy Red Lines used to say when he was cutting wrestling problems.

00:27:48.860 Yeah, we had over 500 people show up in Regina.

00:27:52.860 So this will be a busy and hectic event.

00:27:57.860 And we've got sort of a little bit of a trade show, I believe, coalescing as we speak at the event to people who want to vend their goods to like-minded people.

00:28:12.860 So anyways, don't miss it as David Menzi said.

00:28:16.860 Okay, let's go into what the Canadian government is doing with our money.

00:28:21.860 We've got this exclusive from Juneau News.

00:28:24.860 The Canada Summer Jobs Program funds Islamist and left-wing organizations.

00:28:28.860 ESDC, that's Employment and Social Development Canada is subsidizing dozens of wages for employees working at far left and controversial Islamic organizations through the Canada Summer Jobs Program.

00:28:39.860 This comes to us by way of Noah Jarvis and we know for sure that the liberals have previously used this as sort of an ideological tract.

00:28:53.860 What they have done is they fund Islamic organizations, student groups, while cutting Christian groups and Christian charities off from the funding.

00:29:05.700 They tried to make, and they did for a time, make Christian groups who, for example, provided camps, like summer camps to inner city kids.

00:29:18.340 These are run by churches.

00:29:20.040 Signed an attestation to the Liberal Party's values around gender ideology and women's reproductive rights, which just means abortion. 0.61

00:29:30.420 It has nothing to do with reproductive rights. 0.97

00:29:31.980 And so, this is what the Canadian government is doing with your money.

00:29:38.060 Not only are they funding the left-wing organizations known as the mainstream media, now they're using it to provide summer jobs to your local left-wing protester slash barista slash arts student.

00:29:53.140 And, of course, Sheila, the question is why?

00:29:55.760 What is the unspoken motivation for this?

00:29:58.920 And I think it is the Liberals have done the math.

00:30:01.600 We've discussed this before.

00:30:03.080 There are five times as many Muslims as Jews in Canada, for example.

00:30:07.860 So, taking a pro-Islamist stance, they think, is political capital in their favor. 0.53

00:30:15.120 And, by the way, I want to preface that by saying not all Muslims are on board with this, of course.

00:30:19.620 No.

00:30:19.720 So, we see at the pro-Israel rallies members of the Persian community who are Muslim marching with— 0.95

00:30:27.360 You know, by the way, if you look online, some of the biggest critics of this Gaza nonsense, including the selfie flotilla, are Emiratis. 0.62

00:30:37.420 Yeah.

00:30:38.020 Like members of the UAE government who are saying this is absolutely mental.

00:30:42.740 And I want to say this, too, Sheila, because over the weekend, Lincoln, Jay, and I were in Colorado.

00:30:49.100 We went to Boulder, the site of that attempted massacre, Mohamed Sabri, Solomon, throwing Molotov cocktails.

00:30:57.960 And it sounds crazy.

00:30:59.500 A homemade flamethrower.

00:31:01.840 He victimized 15 people and a dog.

00:31:04.700 Everyone's going to survive, thank God.

00:31:06.280 But here is the question, whether it's the Democrats in the U.S. or the liberals in Canada.

00:31:13.420 If you are Jewish, if you are a supporter of the Jewish state, why do you vote Democrat? 0.63

00:31:19.400 We know from exit polls in the last presidential election, as high as 78% of American Jews voted for Kamala Harris.

00:31:29.420 Colorado itself, Sheila, used to be a swing state.

00:31:32.560 Since 2008, it's been a blue state.

00:31:35.460 And it is madness.

00:31:37.900 Same as if you're a Canadian Jew and you're voting for the Justin Trudeau, Mark Carney liberals. 0.52

00:31:44.340 Well, they're not your friends.

00:31:45.940 They're your enemies.

00:31:47.580 And I don't know what the Canadian numbers are.

00:31:50.200 I don't know if that's being tracked.

00:31:51.760 I think it's changing, though.

00:31:53.700 I think it is changing.

00:31:54.860 And I think it's changing even as we speak.

00:31:58.620 This sort of stuff does change votes.

00:32:00.700 Look at Roman Baber, who snatched writing from one of Ezra's favorite MPs.

00:32:08.380 And so, you know, like things are changing, I think, in those communities where they see, like, look, the liberals are not doing anything for us.

00:32:16.960 We're also seeing it sort of change in the indigenous community where, you know, there's sort of this shift towards the conservative party as they continue to be failed by the liberals.

00:32:28.560 And there are sort of open borders will fund these reliable activists sort of ideas.

00:32:35.180 Well, this is exactly what I'm getting at, especially in the U.S., Sheila, where you see under the Biden administration, it was open borders.

00:32:41.620 We had millions, some say 8 million, some say 21 million of illegal aliens coming into the country, many of them with prior criminal records.

00:32:52.100 This Mr. Solomon in Boulder, Colorado, a week ago Sunday, he was in the U.S. illegally.

00:32:58.920 He had overstayed his visa.

00:33:01.520 And you also had the Biden administration not enforcing the sanctions on Iran, allowing that regime to become flush with money and doing what with it?

00:33:15.580 Oh, not building community centers, funding Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other terrorist organizations who are committed to destroying the little Satan, that's Israel, 0.94

00:33:28.240 and the big Satan, the United States, in other words, the sugar daddy that's allowing them to make billions, untold billions in oil sales.

00:33:38.360 Sheila, this is madness.

00:33:40.700 It won't hold forever.

00:33:42.620 It won't hold forever.

00:33:44.100 Look what happened in the Texas border counties.

00:33:47.240 They flipped Republican.

00:33:49.680 So these, what the Democrats thought were reliable Latino voters, and they called them Latinx.

00:33:56.800 Latinx, I don't know how you say it. 0.99

00:33:58.900 They made up this stupid name thinking, oh, this will appeal to Latino voters. 0.99

00:34:03.520 While the people who lived in the border counties all voted Republican red, including Starr County, which had not voted for a Republican for president since 1896. 0.99

00:34:17.820 So the Democrats will proceed with this nonsense at their own peril, because it's hitting the fulcrum, and it's coming down the other side, and it's going to crash land on the Democrats, and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

00:34:33.040 You know, Sheila, it's so funny you mention Latinx, because I don't know a Latino or a Latina.

00:34:39.160 Yeah, I have never met one that has used that term.

00:34:42.120 They scoff at it.

00:34:43.060 They think it's funny.

00:34:43.780 Yeah.

00:34:43.920 And I swear to you, Sheila, the first time I saw that in print, Latinx, I thought this was a spinoff of Marvel's X-Men comics.

00:34:52.260 I thought it was going to be an all-Latino mutant team of superheroes.

00:34:58.080 That's how crazy it is.

00:35:00.260 It's white colonization of the language, right? 0.96

00:35:02.920 Like, the language is gendered.

00:35:04.380 Latina, Latino, they thought, let's take the gender out of the language and call it Latinx.

00:35:10.300 And thankfully, the Latinos and Hispanics were like, no, no. 1.00

00:35:16.520 Imagine thinking that would appeal to someone's abuela, their granny. 1.00

00:35:21.040 Forget it.

00:35:22.440 We should keep going, because on the topic of importing anti-Semitism, the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa has been vandalized. 0.93

00:35:33.100 Oh, what took them so long?

00:35:34.820 That's what I say.

00:35:35.780 Yeah, exactly.

00:35:37.100 Yeah.

00:35:37.480 What does it say?

00:35:38.420 Feed me?

00:35:41.400 You're trying to make, trying to get me to make sense of madness?

00:35:45.180 I have no idea.

00:35:46.840 But you know what?

00:35:47.560 And this kind of ties in with our next story, because Greta Thunberg is en route in a flotilla.

00:35:54.700 No, she's not en route.

00:35:56.140 Well, not right now.

00:35:57.400 They snatched her up.

00:35:58.040 Do we have my written piece on this from this morning?

00:36:03.560 Yes, we do.

00:36:04.520 Yeah, Greta's, I call it Greta's Freedom Flop.

00:36:07.160 Uh, the Israeli, uh, foreign ministry has been calling it the selfie yacht that she's on.

00:36:16.140 Anyways, the Israeli Navy, the very, uh, elite division of the Israeli Navy, uh, snatched them up, served them sandwiches.

00:36:26.420 Uh, she's going to be upset because it wasn't vegan.

00:36:30.180 And, uh, like I said, a reality check.

00:36:33.740 Uh, because when your humanitarian mission involves a PR team, zero communication with any aid agencies on the ground, and more photographers than food, you're not helping, you're performing.

00:36:43.780 And now they grabbed her, and she's saying, we've been kidnapped, we've been kidnapped.

00:36:51.520 No, Greta, revolting that you use that word, considering there are still Israeli hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas, um, held in terror tunnels, being subjected to subterranean horrors, which we can't even imagine.

00:37:09.000 And you know what the IDF is doing to her right now? Making her watch the documentary on October 7th that was, that was captured with the body cam footage, um, from the Hamas terrorists, so that she knows what she got on their little selfie yacht to defend.

00:37:27.040 Look at her.

00:37:27.600 Wow, and, and, and look at that. I, I mean, I wonder what the complaints of the so-called, uh, kidnapped captives are going to be, uh, Sheila.

00:37:34.640 You know, my sub didn't have extra cheese like I ordered it.

00:37:38.340 They don't want cheese, they want vegan cheese. She's vegan, as Kian Bexty and I discovered from the cans of beans in her car, uh, her borrowed, uh, Arnold Schwarzenegger Tesla when she was in Edmonton.

00:37:50.860 Um, she's a vegan, so she's like, mm, do you have a vegan option?

00:37:56.200 Uh.

00:37:56.860 And please tell me they didn't.

00:37:58.960 I hope they didn't.

00:38:00.280 Uh, but yeah, like, apparently their yacht has little to no food on it. It was complete stunt.

00:38:08.340 Uh, this is, yeah.

00:38:09.800 Good morning to all of our followers.

00:38:11.200 In case you missed it, the selfie yacht is safely making its way to the shores of Israel.

00:38:15.720 The passengers are safe and were provided with sandwiches and water and are expected to return to their own countries.

00:38:22.400 The tiny amount of food aid that wasn't consumed by the celebrities will be transferred.

00:38:27.940 They were just munching their way across the ocean.

00:38:30.440 Transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels.

00:38:34.080 More than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel within the past two weeks.

00:38:38.680 Close to 11 million meals were transferred directly to civilians in Gaza.

00:38:44.040 There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.

00:38:46.880 They do not involve provocations and selfies.

00:38:49.980 And then, yeah, they're going to be shown the, uh, documentary.

00:38:52.800 And I hope, uh, they learn something.

00:38:55.160 Yeah, and hopefully the, uh, it won't involve Hamas in terms of the food distribution, Sheila.

00:39:01.220 Because as we all know, they intercept the food shipments and then sell it for profit on the black market to, uh, fund their, uh, little war machine.

00:39:10.740 Uh, by the way, do we have a video of, um, uh, Greta Thunberg and, um, or maybe am I skipping head, Sheila?

00:39:18.400 Is that the cringe video of the day?

00:39:20.700 Wait, no, we'll, uh, we'll go to that in a second.

00:39:23.420 Uh, Salma Zahid, you'll remember her as the member of parliament for Scarborough Center, Don Valley East.

00:39:30.280 She says, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, it's a yacht, uh, is a humanitarian mission and must be allowed safe passage to Gaza.

00:39:41.840 As the Israeli government said, there's almost no food on there that they hadn't munched their way across the Mediterranean eating.

00:39:48.680 I'm concerned about Israeli government statements regarding blocking or intercepting this peaceful mission.

00:39:53.060 I urge Canada to speak up for the ship and be allowed safe passage.

00:39:55.920 And then Honest Reporting says, the only thing that was humanitarian was the manner in which the interdicting IDF forces treated these radical activists by giving them sandwiches and water.

00:40:07.340 Yeah.

00:40:07.900 And by the way, uh, blocking, uh, you know, food aid.

00:40:12.540 You're just not allowed to enter another country on a ship and just be like, we're here.

00:40:17.740 You can't do that.

00:40:19.180 Yeah.

00:40:19.340 But surely she's confused.

00:40:21.160 She's, again, what my previous point, uh, Sheila, is she talking about Hamas?

00:40:25.280 They're the ones that are, uh, the biggest contributors to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

00:40:32.280 They're the ones snatching the food aid.

00:40:34.620 Exactly.

00:40:36.000 They're the ones snatching the food aid.

00:40:37.620 The Israelis are trying to deliver it directly to the civilians. 0.90

00:40:40.440 The problem is Hamas is intercepting it and saying, you've got to give us the food aid.

00:40:44.920 And then they just keep it.

00:40:46.780 Um, and it's causing riots in Gaza, but nobody wants to talk about that either.

00:40:51.180 Wasn't this tried before, uh, sometime, Sheila?

00:40:55.700 I'm having deja vu, this whole, um, freedom, flotilla.

00:41:00.640 Every time something pops off in Gaza, some white liberal anti-Semite celebrities are like,

00:41:08.160 let's get on a yacht and save some people.

00:41:12.120 Um, meanwhile, tripping over the homeless people in their own country.

00:41:15.520 And how did that work out the previous times?

00:41:17.700 They always get arrested.

00:41:20.140 Always.

00:41:21.100 It's almost like that's the goal, to be able to film a selfie video where you say,

00:41:25.940 we have been intercepted and kidnapped.

00:41:29.940 You know, and there's Greta.

00:41:31.800 And I don't know, Sheila, not that it's important, but she kind of looks different to me.

00:41:36.260 And I don't mean by the keffiyeh scarf she's sporting.

00:41:39.020 But, um, it looks like those, uh, um, the innocence has worn off.

00:41:45.440 The bloom is off this rose.

00:41:47.180 Or is this maybe the result of a vegan diet?

00:41:50.760 She doesn't look very healthy.

00:41:52.420 It's the veganism.

00:41:52.720 She was raised a vegan.

00:41:54.640 She has cut off her thinning hair.

00:41:56.860 Her hairline is drastically receding.

00:42:00.040 She doesn't have DHA and B12 in her diet, which means her brain doesn't work properly.

00:42:05.620 She cannot properly reason.

00:42:07.520 Kids who are raised on a vegan diet have neurological problems that last forever.

00:42:14.660 Um, and so this is just the result of it.

00:42:17.640 And she's just an aging child actor.

00:42:20.120 Um, and instead of transitioning into successful directing like Ron Howard, this is the path

00:42:26.520 she's chosen.

00:42:27.780 And now she's, uh, I don't know, getting free sandwiches from the Israelis.

00:42:32.080 But you know what, Sheila, in all honesty, I have sympathy in my heart for Greta Thunberg

00:42:36.460 because she has been used as a puppet by her parents. 0.98

00:42:40.780 Sure, but she's an adult now. 0.80

00:42:42.400 Yep.

00:42:42.760 I know.

00:42:43.380 But going back to when she came on the scene, and I think at one point she was Time Magazine's

00:42:49.620 Person of the Year, which is just maybe tells you why Time Magazine is maybe 10 minutes away

00:42:55.200 from going out of business. 1.00

00:42:56.400 But she was a useful idiot. 1.00

00:42:59.500 She was a pawn. 1.00

00:43:00.820 She was a child being manipulated.

00:43:02.860 And shame on the adults behind the scene using a child to carry out their political agenda.

00:43:10.380 Yeah.

00:43:10.720 I mean, and her mom has said that Greta Thunberg has autism. 0.98

00:43:16.060 Well, that makes it worse.

00:43:17.040 She's an obsessive-compulsive disorder, which probably, you know, when you tell a child

00:43:22.060 to worry about food from their earliest days and stress them out about climate change,

00:43:26.420 it'll sort of attach itself to that OCD.

00:43:30.020 And she's got selective mutism, although she won't shut up at all these days.

00:43:35.860 So, uh, you know, she's 22 years old.

00:43:38.880 She has not graduated high school.

00:43:40.900 At 22 years old, uh, I had a child already.

00:43:45.240 I was a fully functioning adult living in the world.

00:43:47.840 And she is making selfie videos, wearing a keffiyeh, saying that the Israelis have kidnapped

00:43:53.760 her while she's munching on a vegetable sandwich.

00:43:57.300 Sheila, is that a thing? 0.62

00:43:58.420 Selective mutism?

00:44:00.260 I mean, you're not, right?

00:44:03.280 Do you know what?

00:44:03.760 Kids who have experienced trauma do undergo selective mutism.

00:44:08.160 So again, maybe I'm right, or maybe you're right to have more, uh, pity on her than I do.

00:44:14.580 So, I mean, it kind of sounds like when I get home and, uh, Lady Menzoid says,

00:44:18.540 did you remember to pick up the milk?

00:44:20.360 And I'm, yeah, maybe select the mutist. 1.00

00:44:25.500 I'm sure she prays for that every day, just a little bit.

00:44:29.000 Uh, what's the next thing we need to do?

00:44:31.140 Do we need to hit an ad break?

00:44:33.700 An ad break, guys?

00:44:34.860 I think Super Producer Olivia said we don't have to, so, uh, no, no, uh, that's not bad.

00:44:44.500 Um, let's see.

00:44:46.060 I'm just looking at, oh, here, yesterday, Sheila, I didn't realize this.

00:44:52.380 It was a special day.

00:44:54.160 Um, I'm surprised it came so soon.

00:44:56.300 Uh, June 8th was Tax Freedom Day.

00:44:59.740 That's the day when Canadians start working for themselves. 1.00

00:45:02.900 This day moving on, I suppose.

00:45:05.420 Right.

00:45:05.740 So you get three weeks where you can bank your money.

00:45:09.220 Because, uh, I just saw some numbers today that say Canadians spend 52% of their income,

00:45:18.120 their after-tax income, on housing.

00:45:20.600 Which means that for the first six months of the year, you work for the government.

00:45:27.100 Uh, and then the next six months of the year, you work to pay for your house.

00:45:31.360 And then you have about two weeks in the middle where you can probably get a haircut and maybe

00:45:36.540 your nails done.

00:45:38.120 Great.

00:45:39.820 Yeah.

00:45:40.380 Well, um, it's, it's a scathing indictment, I think, of how overtaxed we are here in Canada,

00:45:47.740 Sheila.

00:45:47.980 And, um, uh, I, I'm not kidding.

00:45:50.760 I, I thought Tax Freedom Day was closer to Dominion Day, July 1st.

00:45:55.240 So, uh, this is very interesting.

00:45:57.860 Maybe I wasn't paying the, the proper attention.

00:46:00.220 Well, I'm sure it has something to do with the carbon tax being, uh, set at zero this year.

00:46:07.160 Hmm.

00:46:08.280 Which would have resulted in that.

00:46:10.020 But I wonder if they factored the tariffs into there.

00:46:13.020 Because as you know, uh, coffee is being absolutely hit with the tariffs.

00:46:17.500 Um, if you, uh, had to buy coffee lately, it's crazy.

00:46:21.720 And it looks like Loblaws is in some kind of dispute with Folgers or whatever.

00:46:27.100 But, uh, yeah, coffee is just skyrocketing because of, uh, the tariffs.

00:46:32.480 And it's like, look, when you need to highly caffeinate yourself so you can work all those

00:46:36.600 extra hours so that the government can give themselves a raise.

00:46:40.060 Now, you can't even afford that.

00:46:42.220 You know, that's a little rich, isn't it?

00:46:44.600 Loblaws having a dispute with one of its suppliers over wholesale price, Sheila.

00:46:49.380 This is the same Loblaws, I think, just a week ago.

00:46:51.800 And we got to look into it here in Ontario.

00:46:53.980 But a Quebec man, and I don't think he's a one-off.

00:46:56.960 I guess it's just somebody that scrutinized his bill.

00:46:59.400 You know, I've always ranted, and I speak, I think I speak for millions of Canadians, how

00:47:04.480 we hate the shakedown at the cashier.

00:47:07.640 Would you like to donate X for this particular charity?

00:47:12.220 And because, you know, especially since if there's other people in line, you don't want

00:47:15.980 to look like a cheapskate.

00:47:17.340 But it's very resentful.

00:47:19.520 But Loblaws, a Quebec man found on his bill, took an involuntary charitable deduction away

00:47:27.020 from him, it was a minor amount, I think it was like 64 cents.

00:47:30.260 But still, the chutzpah, Sheila, in saying, you know what, well, we think we're supporting

00:47:35.640 a really good cause.

00:47:36.620 And even if you say no, we're still taking money.

00:47:39.380 So I find it kind of rich that Loblaws is, you know, perching itself on the moral high

00:47:45.680 ground.

00:47:46.660 Canada's richest family taking money from struggling Canadians, the Westons, Galen Weston.

00:47:52.500 Remember when he had us pay for his refrigerator upgrades to a more climate-friendly refrigerator

00:47:59.460 in the Loblaws stores?

00:48:01.320 And look, I'll be the first to tell you, I shop at Superstore.

00:48:04.420 They're affordable in a time of inflation.

00:48:07.940 But I've absolutely had it with the Weston family.

00:48:11.400 Yeah.

00:48:11.720 Oh, I think that was like, I think, 13 million.

00:48:15.840 But in defense of Loblaws, if the government is going to put a program out there for you to

00:48:20.480 take advantage, it would almost be a dereliction of duty.

00:48:23.340 My biggest beef with the Weston people, Sheila, is they were part of that collusion to fix 0.95

00:48:28.620 bread prices.

00:48:29.760 Right.

00:48:29.880 Remember that?

00:48:30.880 Yeah.

00:48:31.260 Yeah, yeah.

00:48:31.600 And then they said, oh, we ripped you off for 10 years.

00:48:34.900 Here's your $20 gift card.

00:48:36.640 Go away.

00:48:37.420 I think it was $25.

00:48:38.620 I think I still have it.

00:48:39.760 It's going to expire soon.

00:48:40.900 By the way, Sheila, I take great umbrage to that being the compensation.

00:48:45.420 Because if a retailer gives you a gift card for $25, that's not really $25, right?

00:48:55.320 It's about half of that.

00:48:56.840 Exactly.

00:48:57.520 Because of their markup.

00:48:58.860 So why weren't Canadians given cash money?

00:49:03.140 And well, that might be a threatened species right now.

00:49:06.100 I know Ezra's got a campaign about Mark Carney going after cash on the barrel.

00:49:12.060 You should check that out, folks.

00:49:13.200 But I thought that was almost a favor for Loblaws for itself to give compensation, which

00:49:23.060 you have to go back to Loblaws and spend in the store.

00:49:25.720 I think that was me back in the day with...

00:49:27.980 Yeah, there we are.

00:49:28.940 I'm with you.

00:49:29.900 Oh, my goodness.

00:49:30.760 The gall of these people.

00:49:31.900 Because there are people who have fundamentally not shopped there again after they ripped you

00:49:35.500 off.

00:49:36.000 Yeah.

00:49:36.360 But then they force you to remain a customer.

00:49:38.500 That used to be, that particular Loblaws at church in Carleton, that used to be Maple

00:49:43.400 Leaf Garden.

00:49:44.240 So the factory of misery continues there.

00:49:48.360 Oh, goodness.

00:49:51.520 Let's...

00:49:52.720 We should cover this thing because it's in the YouTube title.

00:49:57.600 Half.

00:49:59.420 Nearly half of conservative voters black...

00:50:02.260 Block... 0.74

00:50:03.060 Excuse me.

00:50:03.960 I can't even read it.

00:50:04.740 But I took my glasses off because they were reflecting.

00:50:07.260 Nearly half of conservative voters back Alberta separatism, MPs warn.

00:50:11.620 And this was conservative MPs from Alberta, including David Bextie, who just had that incredible

00:50:21.120 flagship speech in the House of Commons.

00:50:24.160 But also, as you can...

00:50:27.780 Oh, shoot. 0.85

00:50:29.000 Let me go.

00:50:29.700 Yeah, they talk about David Bextie's flagship speech.

00:50:33.920 But a Leger poll revealed a significant portion of conservative voters resonate with Alberta's

00:50:40.820 independence aspirations.

00:50:42.620 77% expressing understanding.

00:50:45.820 43% of these voters indicated support for Alberta's secession from Alberta.

00:50:50.880 And that's why they're being treated fairly by the conservatives.

00:50:53.500 They're not being told to shut up.

00:50:54.800 About half of Alberta's...

00:50:58.540 Albertans support an independence referendum.

00:51:02.680 36% favoring separation.

00:51:04.700 In fact, it's a newer poll from the end of May suggests it's much higher than that.

00:51:13.240 And so, you know, I don't think it's going to get any better.

00:51:17.840 In fact, the more the Liberals say these Quebecers get a say in whether or not you get to sell

00:51:25.820 your natural resources, the worse this is going to get.

00:51:29.260 100%, Sheila.

00:51:30.060 And I think the cautionary tale in those numbers, if there's anyone in central Canada that thinks

00:51:34.600 Alberta separatism is a gimmick, think again.

00:51:39.780 I think it's very, very real.

00:51:41.740 More real than what existed in Quebec in their two referendums of 1980 and 1995.

00:51:48.480 I really believe that, Sheila.

00:51:51.740 Here's the question that I heard Corey Morgan ask.

00:51:55.540 And it left a lot of people sort of like, oh, I never thought of it that way.

00:51:59.940 If you were allowed to make the choice today and not in 1905, would you vote to join Canada?

00:52:11.740 Oh, in other words, if you had a crystal ball telling you how your resource development

00:52:17.400 was going to go, you know, more than a century later, is that what you're getting at?

00:52:21.960 Yeah.

00:52:22.380 Basically, if you were at a territory right now and not part of Confederation, would you

00:52:30.020 choose to join it?

00:52:30.940 And everyone said, like, well, I don't, like, the people in the crowd, you could see them

00:52:36.800 go like, oh, and it's true.

00:52:40.500 Like, there are a lot of people who are sentimental Canadians.

00:52:44.740 But if you said, what's the reason to stay that isn't sentimentality?

00:52:50.100 Maybe a lot, there's not a lot of answers to that.

00:52:55.960 And also, Sheila, if it was a matter going back to 1905, choosing between two suitors,

00:53:01.800 and you knew how the future was going to turn out for you in terms of resource development

00:53:07.520 in the next century, I think there's no question Albertans would rather join the United States.

00:53:14.100 And certainly, they'd be welcome there.

00:53:17.080 There is a feeling, I don't know how vibrant it was in 1905, the whole idea of manifest

00:53:23.160 destiny, you know, of expanding the United States.

00:53:26.980 So, I agree.

00:53:28.880 If you had that proverbial crystal ball and you saw how things turned out, why would you

00:53:33.900 want to remain in Canadian Confederation in the first place?

00:53:37.340 Well, there's a lot of people who are saying, you know, when you look at why there are two

00:53:40.940 separate provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, when we are so culturally similar, you know,

00:53:47.900 like there's, you can tell there are differences between Albertans and British Columbians, particularly

00:53:52.860 as you get closer to the ocean.

00:53:54.560 But when you, but when you look at us, I mean, we are just arbitrarily separated, because at

00:54:02.440 the last minute, somebody in Ottawa said, oh, that's a large landmass.

00:54:07.360 And if we divide them up, they won't be powerful one day.

00:54:11.100 And that is before they knew that we were the breadbasket, that we had all the mining, that

00:54:17.180 we had oil, all the oil and gas.

00:54:20.480 And I suggest all the beautiful places.

00:54:25.300 You know, you just look at what they did to us from the very beginning.

00:54:29.360 From the very beginning, they separated us as fraternal twins, and tried to have us raised 1.00

00:54:36.620 in different families, and it just didn't work.

00:54:39.420 It never works.

00:54:40.760 So anyway, I'll be quiet.

00:54:42.800 Let's move on to the next thing.

00:54:44.500 I'll let you pick what's left.

00:54:46.680 How about this?

00:54:47.700 This is something near and dear to our hearts here at Rebel News, Sheila.

00:54:51.380 Tech shy, not guilty.

00:54:52.960 The Amish beat a $38,000 fine via the ArriveCAN fines.

00:55:01.000 This is fantastic news.

00:55:04.800 Another tip of the hat to the great people at the Democracy Fund, our arm's length charity,

00:55:12.020 because, you know, it's funny, Sheila, do you see any coverage of this in the mainstream

00:55:16.180 media, you know, this perversity, to begin with, of fining the Amish for not having ArriveCAN

00:55:23.580 on their cell phones when we're talking about people who shun technology, they don't even

00:55:29.220 have landlines.

00:55:30.920 Maybe that's why they didn't download the app.

00:55:33.840 I mean, it's like a Monty Python sketch.

00:55:36.480 They don't have rubber on their tires.

00:55:39.260 My mom is from Ontario, and so her family farm, which we went back to every single year

00:55:51.200 in Mount Forest, Ontario, it was right next to, like, the Amish are right there.

00:55:59.400 And so she grew up close to the Amish.

00:56:02.240 I am familiar with Amish.

00:56:04.120 I mean, they had hitching posts behind the Safeway in Mount Forest.

00:56:07.500 And so, like, anybody can see with their eyes, these people don't have rubber on their tires

00:56:16.260 because that's too much technology.

00:56:18.660 The idea that these people who need someone to drive them to the doctors because they don't

00:56:24.780 have technology, that they would somehow download the ArriveCAN app upon entry into Canada.

00:56:34.400 The idea that this proceeded as far as it did is insane.

00:56:40.580 But thankfully, the Democracy Fund, thanks to everybody's generous donations to the Democracy

00:56:46.640 Fund, was able to get $38,000 in fines waived.

00:56:53.120 They were crossing back and forth at Niagara Falls.

00:56:56.340 And so they're closely linked to Amish communities, like in Pennsylvania.

00:57:03.200 And, you know, like a lot of times, they're the same family going back and forth.

00:57:08.120 And yeah, they didn't have a cell phone.

00:57:10.700 Nobody was smart enough anywhere along the way to say, how do we even issue them a $5,600

00:57:18.460 fine for this kind of thing?

00:57:21.340 And then they put liens on their farms.

00:57:23.560 Thank you.

00:57:24.980 They only found out about the liens on their farms.

00:57:27.980 I'm sure the government emailed them.

00:57:31.640 They only found out about the liens on their farms.

00:57:33.940 And they went to finance farm equipment, cattle, whatever.

00:57:38.420 Um, that's the only time they found out about it.

00:57:41.700 And by then, I mean, they've got fees, their credit has been mangled.

00:57:46.320 Um, this has just been absolutely devastating to these people, all because of the Arrive

00:57:51.180 Can app, which was an absolute boondoggle mess itself from the beginning.

00:57:55.280 It sent 10,000 people to quarantine erroneously.

00:57:58.940 Can you imagine, think of how insidious that is, Sheila.

00:58:01.940 I'm glad you brought up the lien to their farm because Sheila's right, folks.

00:58:05.340 So the way they found out, they would go in at like planting season to get a loan from

00:58:10.080 the bank to get the necessary, um, seed or fertilizer equipment, uh, et cetera.

00:58:15.900 And the banker would come back to these Amish folk and say, uh, you know, Mr.

00:58:21.260 So-and-so, I, I, I'm dreadfully sorry, but there, there's a lien on your property.

00:58:24.840 A lien from, by whom?

00:58:26.760 Oh, the federal government, the government of Canada.

00:58:29.180 This is reminiscent, Sheila, of, uh, what the government did to donors to the freedom

00:58:33.880 convoy back in 2022.

00:58:36.240 We're going to freeze your bank account.

00:58:38.420 The overreach is so outrageous.

00:58:41.060 And finally, the, the cherry on this sordid Sunday is this.

00:58:46.680 Arrive Can did not work.

00:58:50.100 It didn't work.

00:58:51.220 It was a dead dog with fleas, right?

00:58:54.460 Not only did it not work, it cost 60 plus million dollars.

00:58:59.780 The guy who, one of the two guys in their little shell company that developed this thing,

00:59:05.560 they've just been banned from government contracts for seven years.

00:59:09.480 Not good enough.

00:59:10.560 They should be in jail.

00:59:11.500 Exactly.

00:59:11.880 Actually, they should be in jail, not just banned for seven years.

00:59:16.280 Um, and it didn't work.

00:59:18.280 It was recreated over a weekend by people in the private sector for, I think like a tenth

00:59:24.240 of the cost, not even, I think it was, I think it was like $50,000, $48,000, something like

00:59:30.240 that.

00:59:30.800 And, uh, the thing sent 10,000 people erroneously to quarantine, or they would face $56,000 or

00:59:39.180 $5,600 in fines.

00:59:40.600 It is 5,000 plus fees and the, the government victim surcharge or whatever it is.

00:59:46.300 Um, but yeah, the thing never worked.

00:59:48.320 Anybody facing any of these fines should have their money given back and everything wiped

00:59:54.360 clean.

00:59:54.900 The thing didn't work.

00:59:55.800 It was a scam from the beginning.

00:59:57.120 And, and, you know, the perverse irony here, Sheila, is that going back more than two centuries,

01:00:02.440 it was the Amish fleeing religious, uh, persecution in Europe that made them come to Ontario before

01:00:10.960 it was even known as Ontario, before there was a Canada, they were coming here for freedom.

01:00:15.060 Imagine what they think today, when you go into a bank and you find out the government

01:00:19.940 is now basically the owner of your property.

01:00:23.500 Unbelievable.

01:00:25.060 And like Esther said, we had difficulty convincing them even to fight back because they're pacifist

01:00:30.520 by nature.

01:00:31.300 They're Anabaptist pacifists.

01:00:33.900 And so they don't fight in wars.

01:00:35.480 They don't even vote.

01:00:36.960 Um, and so they were just ready to sort of turn the other cheek and it took a lot to convince

01:00:43.740 them to fight this injustice against them.

01:00:47.860 Uh, so this is the government just taking advantage of the most vulnerable and kind people

01:00:54.620 amongst us.

01:00:55.640 They mean no harm to anyone, Sheila.

01:00:57.960 Nothing.

01:00:58.500 Nothing.

01:00:58.820 I mean, and they're, they're sort of cloistered by nature, right?

01:01:01.800 So even if they, like they, they quite literally quarantined to themselves all the time, right?

01:01:07.820 So to, to think that they would spread COVID amongst everybody else, they have their own

01:01:13.880 churches, they have their own schools, uh, they help each other with their own farming.

01:01:19.780 Like they, they are sort of cloistered by nature.

01:01:23.180 So they were never a threat to any of us.

01:01:26.020 Um, but, uh, that is the government, I guess.

01:01:30.260 Yeah.

01:01:31.140 Such as it is.

01:01:32.680 Um, Sheila, I think we're out of time.

01:01:34.820 I know you have some, uh, a busy afternoon lined up.

01:01:38.400 Do we have our, um, cringe video of the day or did we already cover that with that footage

01:01:44.600 of Greta Thunberg on the Freedom Float?

01:01:47.020 What is the cringe of the day?

01:01:49.040 I saw that, uh, Dave suggested one, but I don't know.

01:01:54.060 Oh, yes, it is.

01:01:54.860 Oh, Olivia suggested it.

01:01:56.740 Uh, uh, the minister of safety, uh, announcing, um, Mark Carney's death.

01:02:06.800 Let's do that one, please.

01:02:08.900 Here it is.

01:02:10.120 Gary Anandasangari, it's a fun name to say, not a very fun guy, is the chief gun grabber

01:02:15.860 in the country who absolutely knows nothing about guns, as our friend Andrew Lawton revealed

01:02:21.040 last week.

01:02:21.720 I was traveling, um, and so I didn't get to take the victory lap around Gary Anandasangari's 1.00

01:02:27.320 stupidity. 0.99

01:02:28.600 Um, but anyway, this is, he, uh, while I missed that stupidity, I feel like Gary Anandasangari 1.00

01:02:36.720 is going to be a well I drink from a lot when I need to see the Daily Cringe. 0.97

01:02:40.960 So let's, let's watch.

01:02:42.400 You also, uh, express my deepest condolences to the late Mark Carney and someone, uh, Mark

01:02:52.340 Garneau.

01:02:54.280 You also, uh, express my...

01:02:56.840 So, Mark Garneau, former astronaut turned space cadet in the Liberal Party, he passed

01:03:04.940 away.

01:03:05.340 Um, and so Gary Anandasangari stood up and offered his condolences to the current Prime

01:03:11.700 Minister of Canada, Mark Carney.

01:03:13.960 Uh, this guy's considered a front bench cabinet minister.

01:03:19.200 Well, you know, Sheila, in defense, uh, to Gary, uh, all these Marks, uh, you know, you 1.00

01:03:24.720 can't tell them apart, can you?

01:03:26.940 He was so, Garneau, Carney, you know, it's kind of like Daffy Duck, Donald Duck. 0.99

01:03:35.560 It's so, you know, I thought Seamus O'Regan was one of the stupidest people in, uh... 0.99

01:03:42.940 He was the benchmark, yeah. 1.00

01:03:44.940 He was.

01:03:46.000 He was so...

01:03:47.400 But, now we've got Gary Anandasangari, who's, like, they've committed, I think, a third

01:03:54.000 of a billion dollars to the gun grab this year, which should go directly to public safety

01:03:58.780 and border security, if you really want to worry about crime.

01:04:02.420 But no, it's coming to snatch four tens from people's, uh, ten-year-olds.

01:04:08.080 Um, a quarter of a billion dollars.

01:04:11.180 This guy's gonna oversee a quarter of a billion dollars spent on a gun grab.

01:04:14.820 He doesn't know what the PAL system is, or the RPAL, um, and he doesn't know who died

01:04:22.220 and who's the prime minister. 0.99

01:04:23.640 He might be dumber than Seamus O'Regan. 0.99

01:04:26.320 It's early times. 0.99

01:04:27.820 I'm gonna have to start a leaderboard, um, on my whiteboard here.

01:04:32.640 Um, but, yeah, this is not a very smart man.

01:04:36.020 I like how you're thinking, and by the way, just one final thought about Gary, uh, whose

01:04:40.780 surname I have enormous difficulty pronouncing.

01:04:44.360 And Nanda Sangary.

01:04:45.860 It's fun to say.

01:04:47.020 I don't know how you do it, Sheila, but the point I was going to make is that he was formerly

01:04:52.220 the Minister of Indigenous Affairs.

01:04:54.960 I can tell you, that is maybe one of the most complicated, complex files.

01:05:01.940 And the man is a sack of hammers.

01:05:04.620 What could go wrong?

01:05:06.620 Yeah.

01:05:07.280 Yeah.

01:05:08.100 That's why everything is bad on a reserve.

01:05:10.760 Yeah.

01:05:11.520 The houses are falling apart. 0.99

01:05:12.860 The chiefs are corrupt.

01:05:14.500 Um, you have no clean water. 0.86

01:05:16.400 It's because the man who thinks Mark Carney just died was the minister.

01:05:20.180 And now he's in charge of public safety.

01:05:22.980 What could possibly go wrong?

01:05:24.580 And by the way, in the bigger picture, Sheila, this has always been a complaint when it comes 0.97

01:05:30.620 to cabinet shuffling.

01:05:32.880 Um, sometimes there's valid reasons to do it.

01:05:35.500 Sometimes there isn't.

01:05:36.340 But I've always been of the opinion that because of the complexity of the Indigenous Affairs file,

01:05:43.220 what is the point in having someone become the minister there, the first year or two is a

01:05:50.400 complete learning curve.

01:05:51.760 And by the time he or she is up to snuff, oh, we're taking you out and putting another

01:05:56.940 rookie in.

01:05:57.580 That's insane, Sheila.

01:06:00.180 You know what, though?

01:06:02.100 I mean, it's shuffling deck chairs.

01:06:04.320 They don't have a lot of depth on the bench over there.

01:06:08.300 I mean, the country is in a financial spiral of the drain, of the toilet bowl, right?

01:06:17.600 And the guy who precipitated it was elected leader and now the prime minister.

01:06:23.940 So, like, Mark Carney is quite literally the best that they can do.

01:06:28.080 Elbows up, folks!

01:06:29.740 Elbows up?

01:06:30.380 Oh, my God.

01:06:31.500 I hope to God you guys talked about that cringe dance from the cops doing the elbows up

01:06:36.320 dance.

01:06:37.240 Was that what they were doing last week?

01:06:39.280 Holy cow. 0.89

01:06:39.800 No, I think that was some kind of trans drag queen pride dance. 0.99

01:06:44.740 Was that the York Region police?

01:06:47.380 Yeah.

01:06:47.760 Was that a pride dance?

01:06:48.680 I thought it was an elbows up dance.

01:06:51.900 Something was up.

01:06:53.040 I dare not say what, but anyway.

01:06:54.880 They make fun of Westerners in our line dancing, but my God, what was that?

01:07:00.880 I just wanted to crawl out of my skin.

01:07:02.840 And somebody showed that to me at the protest outside of the Tommy Robinson thing.

01:07:07.360 And I was like, I know.

01:07:09.380 I know.

01:07:10.620 We didn't vote for that.

01:07:12.200 Sheila, before we sign off, any super chats?

01:07:15.440 We've got two chats.

01:07:17.560 Pardon me for coughing in everybody's ear.

01:07:19.540 Mighty Mouse 327 is now a monthly supporter on Rumble.

01:07:25.760 So we just wanted to say thank you and announce your presence into the gang.

01:07:30.240 So thank you.

01:07:31.400 Thank you.

01:07:31.800 And JP Power gives us five bucks.

01:07:34.380 Love you guys.

01:07:34.940 Thanks for all the hard work.

01:07:36.040 Boom.

01:07:36.440 Well, thank you very much.

01:07:37.560 There were a couple of comments about my glasses earlier on.

01:07:41.600 Mighty Mouse says Sheila has new glasses.

01:07:43.920 They're not new, but I just never wear them because they also block the blue light because

01:07:49.380 I sit in front of multiple screens and I find them to be quite reflective, but they

01:07:53.400 do protect my brain from the blue light, which I feel like I need given the amount of

01:07:59.240 time I spend in front of screens.

01:08:00.900 Um, plumbed up 60, 69 says those glasses are huge and luxurious.

01:08:06.160 Yes.

01:08:06.480 I was going for, um, smart serial killer that I was going for.

01:08:13.620 So they have like an Ed Kemper vibe, but also academic.

01:08:17.620 I think that's it.

01:08:19.060 Well, I want to thank Mighty Mouse, even though I've always had a prejudice against, uh, comic

01:08:23.220 book characters like Mighty Mouse, uh, underdog.

01:08:26.320 Uh, it's this Sheila.

01:08:27.520 Uh, I could buy into the fact that, you know, a human would be bitten by a radioactive spider

01:08:32.660 and get superpowers.

01:08:34.700 I could never cross the Rubicon of an animal like a mouse or a dog getting superpowers.

01:08:42.420 Oh my God.

01:08:43.600 David Menzies, that reminds me of something.

01:08:46.160 Okay.

01:08:46.800 I'm not sure how true this is, but I noticed over the, I was reading over the weekend.

01:08:50.420 I was trying to catch up on the entire internet because I had been very busy and under the

01:08:53.960 weather and apparently the dogs of Chernobyl are undergoing a rapid evolution.

01:09:00.960 I don't know what that means.

01:09:02.140 I don't know if we should be scared.

01:09:03.560 I don't know what that means for the werewolf population of the world, if they've got new 1.00

01:09:09.140 competitors.

01:09:09.760 But, uh, yes.

01:09:11.680 Uh, so speaking of radiation and animals, apparently the abandoned dogs generations down the road

01:09:19.200 are experiencing rapid evolution.

01:09:21.780 Oh, I hope in a good way.

01:09:24.040 Because, you know, Sheila, I've always said, this is why I love the comic book world.

01:09:27.040 I mean, the idea of somebody getting bitten by a radioactive, uh, arachnid and getting spider

01:09:33.460 powers and all kinds of superpowers and strength when I just know if I was bitten by a radioactive

01:09:39.320 spider, I'd probably get cancer and die a horrible short death.

01:09:45.300 So that's kind of like, yeah, I would just, I would just get leukemia and an extra leg.

01:09:50.520 Yeah.

01:09:51.380 I'm leukemia, man.

01:09:53.860 Yeah, exactly.

01:09:55.320 Oh my goodness.

01:09:56.460 Well, Sheila, uh, thank you for, uh, uh, coming into the studio.

01:10:00.560 I know you're under the weather, but you're, uh, a trooper as always.

01:10:03.960 And thank you to everybody that, uh, tuned in and those who gave a donation via our super

01:10:09.520 chats.

01:10:09.840 I believe tomorrow is Tuesday.

01:10:11.500 That means it's, uh, Sheila Gunn-Reed and Lise in Saskatchewan.

01:10:16.640 Yes.

01:10:16.800 Um, that's always, uh, uh, a fun ride.

01:10:20.160 I'll be back with Sheila on Friday for the, uh, live stream then.

01:10:25.040 In the meantime, as always, folks, stay safe and stay sane.
