Rebel News Podcast - REBEL ROUNDUP ｜ Carney's energy plan, Premiers dismiss 51st state talk, Libs fail to cut immigration

00:00:00.000 Hopefully you're having a good time with this podcast, but I guarantee a better time would be coming to Alaska with me, Drea Humphrey, and my other Rebel colleagues.

00:00:10.860 You've got to find out more at our special website, rebelnewscruise.com, but it's taking place June 18th to June 25th, a vacation trip of a lifetime.

00:00:24.300 Again, that's rebelnewscruise.com.

00:00:26.660 I'll see you there.

00:00:30.000 Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, depending on which part of this beautiful country that you're in.

00:00:38.780 My name is Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:00:40.260 I'm the host of our weekly news and analysis show, Rebel Roundup.

00:00:45.420 I'm joined by my friend and colleague Tamara Ugolini out in beautiful Coburg, Ontario.

00:00:51.700 Tamara, how's it going?

00:00:52.540 Snow day for you guys, hey?

00:00:53.840 Yeah, I guess the first time in something like 30 years where all of these schools actually completely closed.

00:01:00.320 So normally on snow days, you know, the buses are canceled, but the schools are still open.

00:01:03.620 Not today, although it's not the snowstorm blizzard that anybody was anticipating.

00:01:11.400 Seems to be the usual here in Ontario where they announced this crazy snowstorm and then it's, you know, trickling.

00:01:19.640 I think Toronto got it more than we did or maybe we're just used to it out here in the more rural communities.

00:01:24.620 But, yeah, you know, given the ice thread and the freezing rain, that was more of a concern for me than the snow.

00:01:34.160 But we didn't get as much, I think, as people were calling for.

00:01:37.100 But nonetheless, schools are closed.

00:01:39.180 Kids are enjoying a day at home and we're doing some puzzles and other games.

00:01:44.140 So it's always nice to see them kind of just taking it easy and hanging out, having a slow morning.

00:01:49.220 But we're here now on the live stream to bring you some of the most newsy pieces of the day.

00:01:57.220 Actually, sorry, Sheila, how are you doing out there on the western side of the world or of the country?

00:02:03.420 It's not a snowpocalypse.

00:02:05.200 We just have like snow and snow and snow, but we can sort of get caught up with it.

00:02:08.840 But it is, again, like minus 25.

00:02:11.280 Although we don't get the lake effect snow.

00:02:14.440 You guys get lake effect snow, so it's super heavy and super wet.

00:02:18.760 We just get like the snow that falls because it's so bitterly cold and it actually ends up being quite light and fluffy.

00:02:26.300 So it's real easy to push away.

00:02:28.120 I just, you know what, I shovel with the snow blower or with the leaf blower because it's so light and cold that you can just sort of blow it off.

00:02:35.920 Oh, that's so interesting.

00:02:36.500 So we got the snow and then it rained on top, so it was heavy and wet and compacted.

00:02:43.240 And yeah, it's not nice, light, fluffy, playful snow by any means.

00:02:49.200 I'll be, it's not great for making snowmen, but I will be on TikTok later looking for clips of those new Canadians struggling with their first Canadian winter in Toronto.

00:02:59.900 And not realizing how to drive on ice or snow or how to make sure you're safe after a collision.

00:03:08.880 I don't know why I've seen so many clips of new Canadians experiencing their first winter and then like getting out of the car after they get stuck in standing in the lane of traffic.

00:03:17.460 And I'm like, please don't do that.

00:03:19.320 When we give you your driver's license when you come to Canada, no, we have to teach people all about like safe habits on the road in the wintertime.

00:03:29.460 It seems like it's a huge problem, especially in places like Toronto.

00:03:33.540 Yeah, well, the 401 corridor is horrible, especially with transport trucks.

00:03:37.800 And I know, I think there was a CBC investigation that showed that some of the new Canadians were coming into the country and then capitalizing on the ease of licensing.

00:03:48.900 And so there one person would be licensed and then like families and cousins or whoever would also get in on the license stream.

00:03:58.500 And they would be out on the roads without having actually undergone the testing and the licensing process.

00:04:04.780 And it just makes for complete chaos because you do have to adjust your driving to the weather conditions.

00:04:11.460 And if you've never experienced the black ice potential during Canadian winter, then you're in for a surprise.

00:04:19.100 But it's not just you. It's everybody in and around your vicinity.

00:04:22.660 So really concerning things to look out for if you're out on the roads these days in Ontario, which the GTA is the hub for immigration. 1.00

00:04:33.660 Immigration, I think we take on something like 50 to 60 percent of all new Canadians.

00:04:38.660 So it speaks for itself.

00:04:42.180 Yeah, I experienced this sort of this effect firsthand with Ed, our cameraman who was working with us in Davos.

00:04:49.060 And Ed's from the UK.

00:04:50.660 And we rented a car because we wanted to go to the airport to get some pictures of the elites and their low carbon footprints.

00:04:57.420 And I was like, Ed was like, you know what, I'll drive.

00:05:00.820 And I'm like, OK, are you OK to drive on this side of the road?

00:05:03.180 I should have asked him, are you OK to drive on the ice?

00:05:05.400 Because I was like, Ed, why are you driving like that?

00:05:08.040 He's like, oh, Sheila, the ice.

00:05:09.280 I'm like, oh, Ed, you have come on.

00:05:13.400 But then I would cut him a little slack.

00:05:15.500 I was graceful because I realized that he's from the UK and icy roads are not something he has to live with.

00:05:21.400 And I thought, oh, God, we just did this.

00:05:23.240 But with like a million people in Canada, that's not great.

00:05:25.820 But anyways, we should tell everybody what we're doing and how they can get involved because we have a new old way that people can get involved.

00:05:35.180 Something Tamara and I have been working very hard on lately to bring back to you who prefer to consume Rebel News in that way.

00:05:44.040 So we are currently streaming on Rumble, which is a great free speech platform.

00:05:51.880 We know a lot of you prefer to watch us over there.

00:05:53.660 And if you want to watch us completely uncensored and get stories you won't see anywhere else, you have to watch us on Rumble.

00:06:00.500 Rumble is great because they have stood by Rebel News for a very long time since the beginning, since we migrated a lot of our content over there.

00:06:09.320 And they allow you to support our work through something called a Rumble rant that's your paid chat.

00:06:13.760 If it's over the five dollar U.S. cutoff, we are obligating ourselves to read it on air.

00:06:19.360 If your chat is below the five dollar U.S. cutoff, we'll do our best to read it on air if time allows.

00:06:27.460 Now, I have to we've been running the streams for an hour and a half lately, but I have to jump off right at the end of the hour because I'm covering a federal court hearing where the Justice Center is appealing.

00:06:38.740 The prorogation of parliament trying to send our politicians back to work.

00:06:43.660 Now, if you are watching us on YouTube and there are one point seven million sets of your eyeballs over there, we have worked hard to not abandon you over there.

00:06:53.160 Tamara and I and other members of the Rebel News team have done a careful examination and done our best to get Rebel News re-monetized over there.

00:07:04.400 So, once again, if you want to leave a super chat, you can do that now, too, on YouTube.

00:07:11.440 I know some of you don't like the censorship over there.

00:07:14.980 Neither do we, but a lot of you are accustomed to the systems of YouTube and it just seems to be your preferred method of viewing and consuming.

00:07:23.840 And we realize that.

00:07:24.820 So, if you are watching us on YouTube, we are re-monetized there.

00:07:29.300 You can leave us a super chat and you will, going forward, have times where we might have to cut the stream because we are talking about stuff that is a little too truthy for YouTube.

00:07:40.780 So, just know that that might happen in the future.

00:07:43.720 And that's it.

00:07:44.460 Let's get into the news of the day.

00:07:45.680 Yeah, so, breaking news, Rebel has been re-monetized on YouTube.

00:07:50.840 And so, we'll see if that is fruitful in the coming days, weeks, and months ahead.

00:07:55.120 And who knows, who knows how long that's going to last, right?

00:07:58.540 Exactly.

00:07:59.680 You know, they have, they seem to have loosened their censorship noose, so to speak.

00:08:06.080 Yeah.

00:08:06.520 I think that's the Trump effect.

00:08:08.340 I think that's the Trump effect.

00:08:09.680 We're seeing that happen on Facebook, too.

00:08:12.460 So, we'll see.

00:08:14.640 Again, though, you know, could be very short-lived.

00:08:19.020 So, if you like us over on YouTube and you want to support us, I don't know, do it now while you still can.

00:08:24.500 And if not, go on over to Rumble and we will be there indefinitely.

00:08:28.900 But we'll try out this new YouTube re-monetization for the time being and see how it goes.

00:08:35.760 Okay, so, we'll just get right into the swing of things.

00:08:39.740 More 51st State Talk.

00:08:42.460 And the fentanyl crisis.

00:08:45.140 So, Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney has been on his little tour.

00:08:52.860 And he made a stop in Kelowna.

00:08:55.880 I think this was yesterday.

00:08:57.640 Where he takes aim at the U.S.

00:09:00.020 So, this article here comes from Maple Ridge Pit Meadows News.

00:09:03.660 And it notes here that Mark Carney drew cheers and applause from a crowd of more than 300 party faithful during a quick stop in Kelowna on Tuesday morning.

00:09:17.420 So, sorry, this was actually, yes.

00:09:18.760 So, yesterday.

00:09:19.580 I don't know.

00:09:20.000 The picture to me here looks like perhaps there wasn't 300 people.

00:09:24.540 But maybe they were just coming and going.

00:09:28.000 And one of the biggest cheers came when he addressed the U.S. tariff threat.

00:09:31.480 But he says in a crisis, plan beats no plan.

00:09:35.700 Okay.

00:09:35.940 We have a plan for Canada that is going to deliver the strongest economy and ride out the Americans until they come back to the table.

00:09:45.080 Well, I'm already, there's a lot of yellow and red flags here for me.

00:09:50.720 He says Americans have lost their way and have forgotten about the big hits and squeezes on the middle class.

00:09:56.580 I think that's the exact class that Trump and all of his executive orders are trying to bring back and reignite and help and assist by bringing manufacturing home,

00:10:06.340 by cutting the bureaucratic bloat and waste through the new Doja Department of Government Efficiency overseen by Elon Musk.

00:10:14.600 I mean, there's all these things that Trump is doing and handling and implementing to help the middle class.

00:10:20.240 And so, this isn't, I don't think, going to hit the U.S. where it hurts, as Carney's alleging, so much as it's going to affect Canadians.

00:10:30.500 We have a clip here, though, where Carney says, point blank, that he is going to abuse the emergency powers of the federal government to build green energy projects

00:10:44.160 and take on the Americans.

00:10:46.060 Look at this.

00:10:47.060 Yep.

00:10:48.040 Use all of the powers of the federal government, including the emergency powers of the federal government,

00:10:53.960 to accelerate the major projects that we need in order to build this economy and take on the Americans. 0.98

00:11:01.400 Look at that smirk.

00:11:07.220 Yeah, I was one of the rare, I see now that Canada Proud has picked it up, but I was one of the rare people on this planet

00:11:14.140 who was remotely interested in what Mark Carney was saying when he was in Kelowna.

00:11:18.880 I braved that appearance, despite my fears that he would be draining my life force with his monotony.

00:11:30.160 Well, Monotone Mark was talking in Kelowna, and he was talking about, you know, like,

00:11:35.220 we need all these, like, green projects to insulate us from the Americans. 0.99

00:11:40.680 And you can really see the Mark momentum in that room.

00:11:43.380 Everyone's like, whoa.

00:11:45.520 It's like extremely under-caffeinated people.

00:11:49.200 But he just sort of thought it was the most clever thing he ever said that he would, he said, use.

00:11:57.160 But it would be an abuse to use the emergency powers of the federal government to push forward these green energy projects.

00:12:06.480 And then he turns and sort of smirks at the camera because he thinks it's the cleverest thing he's ever said.

00:12:11.680 And to take on the Americans, not, you know, like, fight the threat of tariffs,

00:12:16.660 but to actually, like, take on the Americans, the people themselves, which I thought was quite an odd thing to say, but excessively tone deaf.

00:12:26.620 Kelowna is a very conservative place, by the way.

00:12:29.240 It's the interior of BC, which may as well be Alberta.

00:12:33.880 And he's telling them that these people, a lot of them participated in the Freedom Convoy,

00:12:41.260 which was resulted in the invocation of the government's emergency powers illegally.

00:12:49.780 And he's promising to disregard all that and do it all again this time so that we can have, I don't know, tariff lockdowns, climate lockdowns.

00:12:59.460 Like, what's next, Mark?

00:13:00.540 What are you going to do?

00:13:01.240 Yeah, I was going to say, enjoy your carbon lockdowns, everyone, where you'll stay home and you'll be happy.

00:13:09.680 It sounds like Trudeau is, you know, we've reused this clip so many times, and I don't know if it's handy,

00:13:14.660 but I'm sure most of our viewers have seen it, where Trudeau is saying in front of a group of old liberal women

00:13:20.840 that he loves, or he admires, rather, China's basic dictatorship.

00:13:26.400 And this is just that kind of recycled.

00:13:29.800 It's that 2.0, I think, where, you know, you're going to give people the hammer of a totalitarian regime

00:13:39.560 by utilizing emergency powers to push forward your ideological goals and your ideological agendas.

00:13:47.120 Because it's China's basic dictatorship, 2.0. 0.66

00:13:51.560 Melissa Lansman, the conservative deputy leader, had another little six-second clip here, 1.00

00:13:59.800 but maybe we'll watch the clip first, and then I will read you what she wrote here.

00:14:05.640 This podcast is brought to you by Rebel News.

00:14:09.380 That's right.

00:14:10.340 So if you want to support us, why not do it in a win-win fashion by shopping for yourself?

00:14:16.200 One of my favorite things to do.

00:14:18.020 Head to revelnewsstore.com to pick the patriotic gear that pleases your heart.

00:14:24.920 And while you're there, use coupon code DREA10 to save while you do.

00:14:31.140 Respect.

00:14:32.100 You know, part of it, we've got to respect.

00:14:33.860 Look, fentanyl is an absolute crisis in the United States.

00:14:38.320 It's a challenge here, but it's a crisis there.

00:14:40.460 And us doing what we can to help them with that is absolutely appropriate.

00:14:43.660 Respect.

00:14:44.060 Yeah, I don't know that us doing what we can to help them is appropriate.

00:14:51.100 It's literally taken Trump to threaten devastating our economy and take over our country for the liberals to take action.

00:15:01.460 And also note here that Carney is a leadership candidate.

00:15:05.840 He's not the prime minister.

00:15:06.820 He has no mandate to do any of what he's talking about.

00:15:13.740 He's vying for leadership.

00:15:15.860 If he wins leadership and if our government, if there's not a forced election, depending on how this law...

00:15:23.860 There's so many moving parts here in Canada when we currently have no sitting federal government.

00:15:28.440 I don't know if he could be placed into the prime minister's role without an election.

00:15:35.840 And that would be really weird and extremely undemocratic to see.

00:15:42.560 It will happen.

00:15:44.520 It happened in Alberta.

00:15:46.100 It happened with Premier Jim Prentice.

00:15:49.160 He won the leadership of the PC party, which was the governing party after Alison Redford fled in disgrace.

00:15:56.040 I think she went off to the United Nations.

00:15:58.220 And Jim Prentice became our unelected premier, at least, until we went to general election.

00:16:04.880 So it does happen.

00:16:06.340 There's some precedent for it.

00:16:07.880 That it's a quirk of our parliamentary system.

00:16:10.260 But just on the topic of what Jim, or Jim, of what Mark Carney was saying there, in of all places, Kelowna.

00:16:20.000 Kelowna is absolutely hard hit by the opioid crisis because it's in the interior of BC.

00:16:27.380 Because it is one of those places for your drug addicts, from the prairies to make their way to the favorable climate in the downtown east side of Vancouver.

00:16:38.160 They get a lot of transient opioid addicts there.

00:16:42.920 And I haven't seen the data yet for 2024.

00:16:45.560 But when Mark Carney was making these remarks, I pulled up the data for Kelowna's opioid poisonings in 2023.

00:16:57.300 And they saw a massive increase.

00:16:59.380 You know, like as the government was relaxing restrictions on fentanyl and saying, like, oh, maybe we should give this out to people.

00:17:07.320 They, what was it?

00:17:10.000 In 2023, they broke records.

00:17:12.480 According to the 2023 BC Coroner Service report, 101 people died due to drug, they called them unregulated.

00:17:22.040 So that doesn't even factor in the ones that are regulated, like the government issued opioids in the last year.

00:17:28.220 And that's a significant increase from 84 deaths in 2022.

00:17:33.020 So the government relaxed restrictions on opioids and then more people died.

00:17:36.660 And Kelowna, if you've been there, it's a problem.

00:17:39.220 It's a real problem.

00:17:40.420 So for Mark Carney to say that this is just, you know, this is no big deal, you should not be saying that in all of all places, Kelowna.

00:17:49.580 Because Kelowna would love to have Alberta's drug policy because those people are very much like Albertans in their voting habits.

00:17:58.600 Unfortunately, they are governed by the crazy people in Victoria.

00:18:01.520 Yeah, and that ties into the comments that Melissa Lansman posted here on X, where she says there have been over 49,000 overdose deaths.

00:18:12.720 Now, that's all of Canada from opioids since the Liberals came to power.

00:18:16.960 This guy lives in a different reality.

00:18:18.540 He simply doesn't get what's been going in nearly every corner of this country.

00:18:23.560 It's not a challenge.

00:18:24.460 It's also a crisis.

00:18:25.680 And so similarly, Sheila, I went and looked at any updated stats for the entire country.

00:18:33.280 And this includes up to, I think, October 2024, there's an average of 21 deaths every single day in Canada across the country of opioids.

00:18:49.380 And this data isn't fulsome.

00:18:51.540 It doesn't include some jurisdictions, some provinces, some of their reporting is delayed or what have you.

00:18:57.340 But there was a total of 49,105, they call them opioid toxicity deaths because overdoses is stigmatizing, I guess.

00:19:07.440 From 2016 until June 2024, 80, sorry, 72% of them are among males, young males, aged 30 to 39 years.

00:19:20.180 Men in the prime of their lives.

00:19:21.780 These should be men earning, buying houses, having kids, being husbands and fathers.

00:19:28.500 These are the healthy, productive years of our young men.

00:19:33.300 These are fathers being snatched from their families.

00:19:36.280 And Mark Carney thinks it's no biggie.

00:19:39.400 This is the product, I would say, of the stigmatizing of toxic masculinity, right?

00:19:46.060 Making men feel like they're terrible racists or misogynists for wanting to be the man of a household, for wanting to be a provider, a protector.

00:20:01.160 This is what you get when you tell men that they need to be superior and lay down and stop with any form of masculinity and that it's toxic to be a man who wants to have those things.

00:20:17.980 So I, sorry, go ahead.

00:20:20.260 Sorry, I was just going to jump in.

00:20:21.880 This also, to build on your point, this is also the lack of prioritization of men's mental health in this country.

00:20:29.500 During the pandemic, by the way, men who exhibit rates of suicidality, the reason they give for having those thoughts, and I would suggest to you that opioid addiction is a slow suicide.

00:20:48.840 It only ends one of two ways.

00:20:50.240 You get clean or you die.

00:20:51.160 And so, anyway, the reason men exhibit those thoughts, self-reported, is because they do not feel like productive providers.

00:21:04.700 It's usually financial stress that drives men to suicidal thoughts and suicidal ideation.

00:21:12.260 And I think opioids are just the slow version of suicidal ideation.

00:21:18.860 And think about what happened during COVID.

00:21:22.260 Men were laid off.

00:21:23.440 They were sent home.

00:21:24.360 They racked up debt.

00:21:25.360 It caused devastation in families.

00:21:27.380 They could not be the providers that their biological imperative calls them to be.

00:21:34.200 And then they turn to opioids, and then they die.

00:21:36.500 And a lot of this is on the government, not just their drug policy, but their COVID policy, and then their lack of prioritization of men's mental health and wellness while we go through the culture shift into worrying about gender nonsense all the time.

00:21:57.240 Yeah, absolutely.

00:21:58.000 And so, all of this is in response to the fact that Canada has porous borders.

00:22:05.020 Trump's threatening these tariffs.

00:22:06.880 We have our government, despite the fact that Canadians have been shedding a light and asking for this to be curtailed.

00:22:15.740 But we have this fentanyl problem, which Carney thinks is more of a challenge than an actual crisis.

00:22:22.700 And so, you have this new fentanyl czar being appointed by Justin Trudeau, who is a now-resigned prime minister, still running the country, not as liberal leader anymore.

00:22:41.140 Anyway, so he has appointed Kevin Brousseau as the new border and fentanyl czar, and he has an interesting connection here to digital ID.

00:22:55.120 So, he previously endorsed a globalist surveillance project, which was done with partnership of the World Economic Forum, Canadian government, some of our airlines, Air Canada, the Trudeau Airport in Montreal, and the Toronto Pearson Airport in Toronto, obviously.

00:23:15.780 But this is a now-deleted social media post from him, dating back to June 2019, thrilled to see the official launch of KTDI.

00:23:26.700 He called it a groundbreaking collaboration between, which also included the Dutch government, Transport Canada, and the World Economic Forum.

00:23:34.000 The known traveller digital identity, like I said, acronymed KTDI, was a digital credentialed system designed for international travellers.

00:23:43.640 It never launched, despite a $105 million budget allocation for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

00:23:53.720 And the report kind of goes on to explain a little bit more about the boondoggle that was this digital ID project that our new border and fentanyl czar was a huge fan of and endorsed.

00:24:06.540 And then I wanted to point to the announcement where he's announced as the fentanyls are from February 11th from the prime minister's office.

00:24:17.220 I think I forgot to share this link in here.

00:24:19.460 But anyway, it goes on to state, you know, he has a long career.

00:24:24.940 Kevin Broso has a long career with the RCMP and he has all these connections and public safety, intelligence, et cetera, et cetera.

00:24:34.000 And then I watched, though, they had an announcement yesterday with public safety minister, Bill Blair, and they really didn't say much of anything.

00:24:46.880 I think we might have a small clip of it to share with you.

00:24:50.360 But, you know, basically, from what I could hear, they're just bringing everyone to the table and having a bunch of discussions right now.

00:24:58.060 Oh, is this with James Blair, White House Deputy Chief of Staff?

00:25:03.820 Yeah.

00:25:04.180 No.

00:25:04.500 Bill Blair, I was like, did they wake Bill Blair up?

00:25:08.680 They pull the Afghan off him, take him out of his slippers and dust the dust off him and have him do something? 0.99

00:25:14.760 I guess not.

00:25:16.440 No, but we will get into James Blair in a minute.

00:25:19.620 Yeah.

00:25:19.780 It's a pretty tight deadline given that tariffs could be put back in place on or put in place on March 4th.

00:25:28.700 I'm hoping to be able to give an intensity to the work being carried out by thousands of men and women in this country and the United States trying to deal with the real public safety and national security crisis that is fentanyl.

00:25:44.700 Bringing that integrated approach, bringing the teams together, ensuring the collaboration, ensuring the communication is happening at officials' level on both sides of the border and communities across the country.

00:25:58.800 Hi, Mr. Brasso.

00:25:59.940 Thanks for taking questions.

00:26:00.960 I'm Gillian Piper with Global News.

00:26:02.820 My question to you is that we know that Canada already represents less than 1% of the fentanyl going into the United States.

00:26:08.280 Do you think we can realistically get that number to zero?

00:26:10.480 Getting the number to zero is, in fact, a goal and should be our goal.

00:26:19.280 If it's 1 pound, 10 pounds, we all know the amount of deaths that that possibly could represent.

00:26:26.040 This is a national security and a public safety crisis.

00:26:29.420 We should be focused on eliminating the scourge that is fentanyl in this country and in the United States.

00:26:35.000 And have you spoken with the Borders, Mr. Holman, about your appointment?

00:26:40.040 Are you planning to speak with him in the coming days?

00:26:42.240 I hope to speak with him soon.

00:26:44.000 In fact, I spoke with the ambassador of the United States last night and she and I talked about getting to D.C. very, very soon to be able to have those conversations.

00:26:53.360 I've already, of course, as you know, spent some time here.

00:26:56.240 It's a 15-minute presser.

00:26:57.660 It does not inspire confidence.

00:27:00.260 Like, I look at the people making an impact on the fentanyl issue.

00:27:05.320 For example, Mike Ellis, Alberta's public safety minister.

00:27:08.700 If you really wanted to make a difference, you would have, if I were Trudeau and I actually wanted to do something,

00:27:16.240 I would have taken somebody from a jurisdiction that the Americans like, Alberta, and somebody who has experience in policing, Mike Ellis, former cop, who is the public safety minister,

00:27:29.300 who is dealing with border issues from a place that is taking a zero-toleration approach to fentanyl and a treatment approach to the drug crisis that's happening.

00:27:42.120 This is the guy I would have tapped if I wanted to impress the Americans and stave off tariffs, but they didn't.

00:27:48.680 They hired a career bureaucrat from the RCMP in Ottawa that has overseen the explosion of fentanyl in this country.

00:27:55.600 Yeah, exactly.

00:27:56.340 And if we kept listening there, one of the journalists asked, oh my gosh, and I was just banging my head, why did you pick the title czar?

00:28:03.740 And nowhere in the press conference, which again spanned almost 16 minutes, did they ask anything about, hey, what about the ports of entry where there are no police?

00:28:16.220 What's the plan of attack on these ports that don't have any security or surveillance where you can just walk over the border?

00:28:23.480 What about the fentanyl precursors, right?

00:28:26.580 Because fentanyl requires all these other ingredients to be manufactured in the country.

00:28:31.620 What about all those ingredients coming in separately?

00:28:34.740 How are we monitoring and trying to curb that border issue and those crossings over?

00:28:41.900 Because it's not just fentanyl specifically, it's all the ingredients that make it up.

00:28:47.120 And no one in there asked about government safe supply.

00:28:50.500 We know that government regulated and produced and taxpayer funded safer supply of these powerful opioids are being diverted out into the streets.

00:29:02.360 And then that is being utilized to fund more fentanyl purchasing power by addicts on the street.

00:29:10.420 So you don't have a mainstream media who's asking any of these relevant, pertinent questions.

00:29:16.480 They're asking, oh, how did you come up with the title czar?

00:29:19.600 Right, right.

00:29:20.880 This is craziness.

00:29:22.420 Why are you spelling with CZ and not TS?

00:29:25.880 Is that an anti-Russian sentiment?

00:29:29.260 Yeah, like my questions would have been exactly yours.

00:29:33.600 Why aren't we marking the government issued safe supply so that we can determine if it is indeed ending up in the hands of Canadians who are either trafficking it or ending up dead by it?

00:29:46.800 Also, what are we doing to deal with the infiltration of gangs into our points of entry, but also our ports?

00:29:57.860 What are we doing to deal with that?

00:30:00.120 Because that's a huge problem.

00:30:01.980 That's how a lot of this stuff at monitored points of entry, that's how it's getting passed is the gangs have infiltrated there.

00:30:09.420 What are we doing about that?

00:30:11.420 There's just no curious questions.

00:30:13.900 They're worrying about if he is being influenced by Russian spelling.

00:30:18.980 How dare he?

00:30:20.220 So in similar news, we also have the Premier of British Columbia, which is really the, in many instances, ground zero of this drug crisis and the fentanyl crisis, David Eby.

00:30:35.160 He earlier remarked on Premier's frank conversation with James Blair, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff.

00:30:45.360 So we have a video here that I want to show you, share with our viewers, a couple of tweets that are kind of funny in response to our mainstream media failures and spreading of misinformation.

00:30:58.900 Yeah, we had frank conversations where, about the 51st state comment, where we underlined that that was a non-starter.

00:31:06.680 That was obviously consistent among all the Premiers.

00:31:10.320 And for my part, just underlining how important it was to share information and concerns related to fentanyl on the border with the Premiers as well.

00:31:19.760 There are enforcement actions that we can take to make sure that information is flowing.

00:31:23.500 If these are the key points of frustration for the President, we want to take action on those things too.

00:31:27.520 Thanks for tuning in to this podcast.

00:31:30.800 If you appreciate the news that Rebel brings you, consider being a part of what makes it possible.

00:31:54.120 We appreciate your support.

00:31:55.620 Yeah, and then Colin DeMello, who is the president of the Queen's Park Press Gallery and also a correspondent, the Queen's Park Bureau Chief Correspondent with Global News.

00:32:08.720 He took to X to post, you know, he regurgitated EB's remarks saying he had this frank conversation.

00:32:16.520 And he shared a few items with Trump, including willingness to engage, work on key areas of agreement, and that Canada would never be the 51st state.

00:32:26.040 And then that was reposted by James Blair, who said, and maybe we can show this on screen for our viewers, pleasant meeting with the premiers.

00:32:35.860 To be clear, we never agreed that Canada would not be the 51st state.

00:32:40.380 We only agreed to share Premier EB's comments.

00:32:43.780 Further, we said the best way to understand President Trump's position is to take what he says at face value.

00:32:50.380 So, I mean, I am pretty sure he, yeah, he substantially out-ratioed DeMello.

00:32:56.560 I love it.

00:32:57.360 Which is so funny to see because the mainstream media has been in absolute meltdown mode for the last few years, crying wolf about every time misinformation and how dare you make these claims.

00:33:10.320 And this is, you know, far-right conspiracy theory stuff.

00:33:15.100 And now we're seeing more and more how they are being caught in the misinformation spreading.

00:33:21.480 And it's becoming more and more kind of blatant and in your face.

00:33:24.960 And you have people from the U.S. side who are not holding back, right?

00:33:29.420 They're not afraid to call it, to call a spade a spade and tell people how it really is.

00:33:34.660 And I love to see that.

00:33:37.160 Yeah, I hope Canadian politicians are learning.

00:33:39.520 By the way, thank you, Elon Musk.

00:33:41.820 I can't believe your platform is free so that we can see the mainstream media in Canada being abused by their intellectual superiors in the federal government in the United States.

00:33:55.580 But I hope our conservatives here in Canada are learning a little something.

00:33:59.980 Treat the mainstream media like the enemies of you that they are.

00:34:06.380 Because they are.

00:34:06.920 Their lifeblood is Justin Trudeau and the subsidies he continues to give them.

00:34:12.580 We should consume their content with that in mind.

00:34:15.620 And we should consider their questions to our politicians with that in mind as well.

00:34:20.600 Yeah.

00:34:20.840 Like, why did you choose the name czar instead of how are you going to appoint more port officers to ports of entry that don't have any?

00:34:28.960 I just, I'm not, yeah.

00:34:31.320 Where they take their marching orders from, we can, we can speculate. 0.99

00:34:36.480 Do you know what, I also, I see stupid questions like that sometimes and I think, wow, that's a failing of the entire newsroom over there. 0.96

00:34:42.800 Because, you know, like if we're sending journalists to a press conference and maybe they don't have, okay, let's say it's about oil and gas and pipelines. 0.98

00:34:50.160 And I will help you prep some questions.

00:34:54.000 I know a little bit about that stuff.

00:34:55.780 It's been my passion since I was a small child, the oil and gas industry.

00:35:03.700 And so when I'm sending a journalist or we're sending journalists or they're saying, Sheila, I want to go to this press conference.

00:35:08.240 Um, but I don't know all of the details.

00:35:12.500 We work together on questions.

00:35:14.860 First of all, we help them understand the issue and what's important to the people that you're asking the questions on behalf of, right?

00:35:22.340 Because we're not just asking our own hobby horse questions.

00:35:24.680 We think, we have to think about what you think as a, as a Canadian who's not being well represented by the mainstream media.

00:35:31.600 What matters to you?

00:35:32.880 We want to ask those questions.

00:35:34.140 And so we work together to develop questions and learn the issues and talk about what matters.

00:35:40.080 Um, I just think sometimes with these journalists and maybe they're just fresh out of J school or whatever, but I think do your editors, your editor in chief, your managing editor, do they not care about you?

00:35:53.740 Do they not like you?

00:35:55.260 Why did they sabotage you like this?

00:35:57.820 I don't know.

00:35:58.120 Yeah.

00:35:58.200 Who came up with this question and why and how?

00:36:00.560 Because my goodness, they, it is not relevant.

00:36:03.140 Help journalists.

00:36:04.340 Ask somebody to help you.

00:36:06.860 And hey, always, you can feel free to reach out, I guess.

00:36:10.520 I'm here to help.

00:36:11.640 Look, mainstream media.

00:36:13.220 If you need some questions that you think regular people have about the oil and gas sector that you want to ask to our government overlords, DM me right now.

00:36:24.920 The DMs are open.

00:36:26.080 I will help you.

00:36:26.960 I just, I want you, I want you to be better.

00:36:29.340 You know, I, I do.

00:36:30.840 I'm not keeping my expertise to myself.

00:36:34.400 I want to help you too.

00:36:35.700 On behalf of all Canadians, DMs are open.

00:36:38.860 Yes.

00:36:39.360 Oh God.

00:36:39.940 I just asked for a world of trouble, didn't I?

00:36:43.760 We'll see.

00:36:44.720 Maybe make some good screenshots later.

00:36:46.380 Um, okay.

00:36:48.240 We have Premier Danielle Smith telling reporters, meanwhile, in Washington that she thinks.

00:36:53.260 Hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:36:54.200 Before we go to that, let's do a quick ad read, uh, to stay on target because, uh, I have to sort of get out of here and go back to federal court.

00:37:02.060 We can't go long.

00:37:03.020 So I'll do the sticker pack ad read.

00:37:05.040 Do you want to do the two chats?

00:37:07.360 Sure.

00:37:07.560 Sounds good.

00:37:08.600 Okay.

00:37:08.860 And that one, we have to be sort of careful because of, uh, YouTube's policies.

00:37:13.560 We'll just read it straight.

00:38:03.740 Uh, just a reminder, we are trying out and testing out re-monetization on YouTube.

00:38:08.620 So if you want to give us, what is it called on YouTube?

00:38:10.780 A, um, super chat.

00:38:13.580 Yes.

00:38:13.800 And you can also, I believe you can also leave super thanks.

00:38:16.700 So if you're watching the show after the live stream, and so you don't have the ability

00:38:22.040 to leave a super chat, you can leave us a super thanks if the spirit moves you to support

00:38:27.700 our work.

00:38:28.100 You can do that on YouTube too, after the fact.

00:38:30.080 So if you're not watching live.

00:38:31.500 All right.

00:38:32.360 Billy Howard gives $5.

00:38:33.980 Thank you very much.

00:38:34.880 If Trump is smart, why doesn't he stop the rhetoric until after the election?

00:38:39.080 An NDP internal email today says a March 10th call.

00:38:43.560 Libs need the anti-Trump issue to win.

00:38:46.000 Why would Trump want a liberal win?

00:38:49.700 Yeah.

00:38:50.360 Um, send us that email.

00:38:53.020 Uh, I don't know if there's any way to vet that it is legitimate, but if there was an

00:38:57.520 internal email today that says a March 10th election call, I think that would depend on

00:39:01.740 whether or not the court case you're covering right now, Sheila, is successful because otherwise

00:39:05.760 parliament is officially prorogued until March 24th.

00:39:09.120 I think it is.

00:39:10.120 And unless Trudeau feels, as you said, the spirit compels him.

00:39:14.580 Um, he, I think will not be un-proroguing parliament without a court order to do so.

00:39:20.340 Yeah, it's wild.

00:39:22.140 He prorogues it for exactly 11 weeks so that they are able to run a liberal leadership campaign.

00:39:28.780 It just, what an abuse of a very easy ability to prorogue.

00:39:34.640 Like literally you could just prorogue it by saying, uh, we need, uh, to, we have, we have

00:39:41.720 legislation we want to introduce and move forward.

00:39:44.820 And so we're cutting this off and we're going to the next, and that would have been enough,

00:39:49.200 but partisan political reasons may not be enough.

00:39:53.880 And if he can do it for partisan political reasons, uh, that's an abuse of his position

00:40:00.640 in the executive.

00:40:01.900 That means that the government can literally do whatever it wants.

00:40:06.100 And right now government is supposed to be restrained by parliament.

00:40:11.180 However, if you can prorogue for any reason, then the government is actually in charge of

00:40:15.760 parliament and parliament in our system is supposed to be sovereign.

00:40:18.580 It's a real, uh, bizarre pickle that we're in, uh, because the governor general has never

00:40:25.060 once refused the ability of the government to prorogue itself.

00:40:29.440 So, uh, I, it's just a mess anyway, maybe before we cut the stream, we can get a five

00:40:37.620 minute or just a few minute update from you on what's going on with that hearing.

00:40:41.180 Cause I think it's important.

00:40:42.420 Um, AMT 60 gives $5.

00:40:45.240 Tamara, please go on Amazon and order the book moving beyond the C-19 lies, restoring health

00:40:51.600 and hope for humanity.

00:40:53.080 Chapter nine has new info about what's really in the novel injections.

00:40:57.960 It's shocking.

00:40:59.440 All right.

00:41:00.480 I'll have to check that one out.

00:41:02.100 I don't think that I've heard about it.

00:41:03.940 Um, but I probably have already covered some of the things that's really in the shots.

00:41:08.120 You just won't find them on YouTube.

00:41:09.580 So there was one video, it had, I think almost 120,000 views on YouTube and we had to go back

00:41:15.860 in and take it off because when we were seeking remonetization, um, anything that might,

00:41:21.220 you know, hinder that process, we had to remove from YouTube completely, like not even just

00:41:26.220 unlist.

00:41:26.680 So I was so sad to see all those views just gone, um, into the ether.

00:41:31.280 But anyway, uh, a lot of people also don't see all of my reports.

00:41:36.340 So if you're, uh, wanting to make sure that you don't miss the reports that I do on these

00:41:41.700 shots, go to nomoreshots.ca.

00:41:44.840 That's the special website that we've dedicated to that coverage.

00:41:48.560 And if you sign up there, sign the petition there, that makes sure that you're in the

00:41:54.260 database to always receive updates when new reports come out.

00:41:59.180 Um, so that's a very successful, uh, petition there.

00:42:02.020 And I've just been waiting because I'm like, well, parliament's prorogued.

00:42:05.360 So if I deliver it to the minister of health now, he's not really, is he technically the

00:42:09.860 minister of health?

00:42:10.620 And what good is that going to do?

00:42:12.540 So I'm just waiting to see what will happen on the political level here.

00:42:16.640 Um, and whether or not we can have somebody to, to successfully deliver that to, you know,

00:42:23.260 even if, even not, you might be, we might be able to deliver it to, uh, different jurisdictions.

00:42:30.180 Like for sure, BC needs that one, the future Doug Ford government in Ontario, their new

00:42:36.180 health minister after that election, they're going to need one Saskatchewan for sure. 0.95

00:42:40.860 So all is not lost.

00:42:42.640 That is a big petition, a lot of signatures and a lot of Canadians who just want to be

00:42:47.960 able to make their own medical decisions.

00:42:51.440 Okay.

00:42:52.000 Let's, uh, we have a, we should do the rebel ad.

00:42:54.800 We'll talk about April's thing.

00:42:56.080 And then let's get into Premier Smith, uh, acting very, uh, prime ministerial, uh, in

00:43:02.440 Washington.

00:43:04.220 Canadians know the national anthem.

00:43:06.940 They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country, but not every Canadian

00:43:12.080 knows their rights and freedoms.

00:43:14.060 The freedom passport will change that.

00:43:16.580 It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian charter of rights and

00:43:22.440 freedoms in a portable, easy to read format.

00:43:26.080 The freedom passport, order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love

00:43:32.060 at freedom passport.ca.

00:43:37.220 All right.

00:43:38.420 Uh, let's just talk real briefly about an event coming up February 22nd, 2025 at one of the

00:43:46.200 best places on the planet.

00:43:49.040 Of course, I'm talking about church in the vine in Edmonton.

00:43:51.840 Um, it's with April Hutchinson, NHL legend, Theo Fleury and rebel alumnus, you know, and

00:43:57.740 love them, Adam Sose.

00:43:58.920 They're coming to church in the vine for fire and ice.

00:44:02.380 Um, they're going to discuss April's fight for fairness in sports and her trajectory to

00:44:10.660 become a team Canada power lifter and how that was all sidelined because of her advocacy of

00:44:16.500 fairness.

00:44:17.340 Uh, that Saturdays, February 22nd, 2025, uh, six o'clock doors open show starts at seven.

00:44:25.140 I'll be there because I will never miss an opportunity to hang out with my friends, pastors,

00:44:30.220 Tracy and Rodney.

00:44:31.280 Those of you who followed their saga, they reopened their church during COVID and they

00:44:35.820 were slapped with an $80,000 administrative fine.

00:44:39.360 Now, thanks to you and your support of their legal challenge through the charity, the democracy

00:44:45.920 fund, they were able to not just have their appeal heard.

00:44:50.380 They successfully overturned the judgment against them and they were refunded the $80,000

00:44:55.100 so that they could use that money to do what they do best.

00:44:58.020 And that is shepherding to God's flock.

00:45:00.680 So anyways, that's April or sorry, February 22nd, 2025 with April Hutchinson, Theo Fleury

00:45:07.100 and of course our friend Adam Sos, uh, for tickets, Canadians for truth.ca.

00:45:11.980 All right, that's that.

00:45:13.640 Let's get into Premier Smith.

00:45:15.340 Yes.

00:45:17.180 All right.

00:45:19.140 Uh, okay.

00:45:20.200 Which one of us is going to, we have a video here of, uh, Premier Smith telling reporters

00:45:26.160 in Washington that she thinks Canada and the U S can make a deal on steel.

00:45:30.440 And aluminum.

00:45:33.240 I think diplomacy is working.

00:45:34.860 I think that the fact that we got a 30 day reprieve was because we agreed to work on the

00:45:40.180 cross-border problem of fentanyl.

00:45:41.740 I was pleased to see the federal government announced a fentanyl czar and my administration

00:45:45.920 has already been in touch with him to talk about how in Alberta we can lend to the success

00:45:51.040 of those efforts.

00:45:51.740 So what I would say is what I've seen from this president is that he is prepared to make

00:45:57.120 a deal.

00:45:57.680 We've made a deal on that.

00:45:58.960 I think we can make a deal on steel and aluminum by making very much the same argument that I've

00:46:03.680 been making on energy and critical minerals.

00:46:05.340 They've, we've won the argument that those raw materials are essential to American success.

00:46:11.040 It comes in, it makes value out of products.

00:46:13.900 It creates good American jobs.

00:46:15.800 It creates good American products that we buy back.

00:46:17.880 Same thing for aluminum.

00:46:18.660 They just do not make enough for their defense industry, their auto industry, and their critical

00:46:23.820 needs.

00:46:24.500 So I think aluminum, we can make the very same argument.

00:46:26.760 And on steel, we buy as much steel products from them as they buy from us.

00:46:29.720 Oh, on USMCA, it has to be renegotiated.

00:46:32.520 I think we have to remember, we've got two sets of tariffs.

00:46:35.160 This first tariff was about dealing with the fentanyl crisis.

00:46:38.820 And I think that we have satisfied the president that we're working on that.

00:46:41.880 The second round of tariffs will come with a renegotiation of USMCA.

00:46:46.400 And I think the sooner we get a government with a four-year mandate, the sooner we can open

00:46:51.520 that up and solve the broader range of tariff issues that we have.

00:46:55.720 Doug Ford, just looking very bored back in the corner there.

00:46:59.720 Yeah, look at these dudes standing there with their hands in the pockets while this

00:47:03.880 conservative woman is running the room and dealing with Trump in a way that has been 1.00

00:47:11.660 a success.

00:47:12.620 Like, she's out there acting prime ministerial.

00:47:16.420 She's leading the front of premiers who are now, like, her having a good relationship with

00:47:23.700 the Trump administration is exactly what you need when the premiers now are headed to Washington

00:47:29.060 to deal with the Trump administration.

00:47:31.380 And where is our prime minister in the middle of tariff mania?

00:47:34.960 Oh, he's on a goodbye tour of Europe at some sort of AI conference after he resigned.

00:47:41.640 He's just making sure he milks the Canadian taxpayer for all their worth with his luxury trips

00:47:47.940 to Europe while our economy is under the threat of complete and total meltdown.

00:47:53.820 Thank goodness for Daniel Smith being there to do these things on the nation's behalf.

00:48:01.820 And burns a bunch of fossil fuels while lecturing all of us on climate alarmism rhetoric.

00:48:08.280 He's also here stating in this video, which I thought I saw this before, but maybe it's

00:48:13.500 a new one.

00:48:15.240 There's not a snowball's chance in H-E-L-L.

00:48:19.220 I think that that is a flagged word now on YouTube, by the way.

00:48:22.220 Is it really?

00:48:23.240 Yes.

00:48:24.940 That Canada will ever be the 51st state.

00:48:28.940 I guess we should play it, but let's hope that YouTube doesn't flag.

00:48:33.000 Let's be very clear.

00:48:35.360 Conversations around a 51st state are a non-starter.

00:48:39.420 It's never going to happen.

00:48:40.580 But we have to take seriously what the president is saying and fold that into our thinking as

00:48:48.780 we continue to stand up for Canada.

00:48:50.540 I think, as I've said unequivocally from the beginning, there's not a snowball's chance

00:48:55.820 in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state.

00:49:00.400 At the same time, from having worked with President Trump for over eight years now, I can tell you

00:49:10.200 that we have to take seriously what he says and make sure we're responding appropriately.

00:49:18.580 And quite frankly, the response of Canadians over these past weeks has been inspiring as

00:49:25.060 people have been there for each other, people have been changing their vacation plans, people

00:49:29.500 have been looking at ways to buy Canadian, to support local businesses, to diversify their

00:49:35.360 supply chains to places like Europe and Asia.

00:49:38.720 This is a response of Canadians who are saying, yeah, this is going to be tough, but we're going

00:49:43.320 to double down on Canadian pride and standing up for each other.

00:49:47.820 This podcast is brought to you by Rebel News.

00:49:51.600 That's right.

00:49:52.520 So if you want to support us, why not do it in a win-win fashion by shopping for yourself?

00:49:58.360 One of my favorite things to do, head to revelnewsstore.com to pick the patriotic gear that pleases your

00:50:06.320 heart.

00:50:07.080 And while you're there, use coupon code DREA10 to save while you do.

00:50:12.780 We're excited.

00:50:13.160 As if I've been working with Trump for eight years.

00:50:16.220 Shree, how?

00:50:18.000 How?

00:50:19.100 By running your mouth about him every step of the way?

00:50:22.060 Like Trump is a proud man.

00:50:23.500 Not only that, I feel like he makes notes about everybody who wronged him or said a crossword about

00:50:28.840 them and then just waits, puts that in his pocket and waits till it's time to get them back.

00:50:34.720 And right now he's getting Trudeau back.

00:50:37.460 And yet he doesn't know how to shut his mouth.

00:50:40.120 It's a fascinating study in the inability to learn from one's mistakes.

00:50:43.780 And pointing out the complete ineptitude of our government to do things that benefit every

00:50:50.620 day Canadians across the board.

00:50:52.880 We want our government to take action against the fentanyl crisis.

00:50:57.440 We've been calling for judicial reforms to not let repeat offenders out on bail perpetually

00:51:04.420 and to make our streets safe again.

00:51:07.920 I mean, in addition to a litany of other things.

00:51:12.940 But the government just repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly ignores Canadians.

00:51:18.560 And now it's taken Trump and these increasingly real threats to get them to take any of it seriously.

00:51:25.580 So, yeah, thanks for showing up, Trudeau.

00:51:28.360 Just a little bit too late.

00:51:29.700 Speaking of areas where the government is inept and also a little bit too late.

00:51:35.060 And not doing what Canadians want.

00:51:37.200 Yeah.

00:51:37.700 And not doing what Canadians want, but also within the best interest of not only the Canadians,

00:51:42.040 but in this case, the immigrants and the new Canadians trying to come into our country

00:51:47.420 because we don't have the infrastructure, we don't have the resources and we don't have

00:51:50.720 the support for successful integration into this country.

00:51:54.660 And you have record numbers of newcomers saying, actually, we are better off in our home 0.85

00:51:59.540 country.

00:52:00.060 So I think we're just going to go back.

00:52:02.280 That's how bad it is that you cannot get ahead.

00:52:05.780 You can't find a place to live.

00:52:07.100 You can't afford to eat.

00:52:08.500 And so many are just saying, you know, to heck with Canada.

00:52:11.940 I'm headed back to my country of origin. 0.98

00:52:15.300 This piece here comes from the National Post.

00:52:18.320 Trudeau government already missing targets on pledge to bring down immigration.

00:52:22.980 Sky high population growth, not likely to change without aggressive reductions, finds this

00:52:29.760 report.

00:52:31.100 Now, although admissions of international students have gone down dramatically in the interim

00:52:36.620 four months, a new analysis by Desjardins finds that Canada is still accepting roughly

00:52:42.360 the same amount of temporary foreign workers and permanent immigrants.

00:52:45.800 And so they say Desjardins says we remain skeptical that the government of Canada will be able

00:52:52.600 to reach its lower target for emissions of newcomers.

00:52:56.460 And Desjardins added that the Trudeau government often seems to make promises that it fails to

00:53:01.740 fulfill and that immigration reduction is a prime candidate for this.

00:53:06.340 They also make promises and put forward these absurd policies and implementations without

00:53:14.120 the forethought of how this will work downstream in a year or two.

00:53:19.580 So this is just a fallout of their absolutely radical, nonsensical policies that are not in

00:53:25.440 any sense of the word well thought out or executed.

00:53:28.440 We see that kind of that's a repeat offense by this government.

00:53:31.840 Um, and so that wraps up our headliners.

00:53:36.920 Sheila, I know you're, oh, we have a super chat test.

00:53:40.400 Oh, guillotine press.

00:53:42.620 That gives $10.

00:53:44.020 Thank you very much.

00:53:44.920 Super chat test.

00:53:45.320 Awesome.

00:53:45.760 Thank you.

00:53:46.360 Thank you.

00:53:47.240 It worked.

00:53:47.660 That's our first re-monetized chat.

00:53:51.540 We should print that out and put it on the office boardroom wall.

00:53:55.340 Uh, appreciate that very much.

00:53:57.140 Um, let's do one just, uh, story on the just ridiculous of Trudeau's Canada, and then we

00:54:04.640 can quickly talk about what's happening in federal court.

00:54:07.120 Yes.

00:54:07.680 Do you want to do that?

00:54:08.460 Okay.

00:54:08.820 Sounds good.

00:54:09.840 From our friend, Amy Hamm.

00:54:12.040 BC Human Rights Tribunal awards $10,000.

00:54:16.220 BC Human Rights Tribunals seem to be the worst of the tribunals. 0.93

00:54:21.360 Uh, awards $10,000 to trans person with hurt feelings, and, uh, I'm going to be careful

00:54:29.300 in my language to make sure that, uh, we don't, well, that, that super chat that we just

00:54:35.240 got isn't the last one that we ever get.

00:54:38.440 Uh, it's a bizarre case of a landlord-tenant dispute that resulted in a huge fine despite

00:54:42.260 identity not even being a factor in the admission or in the, uh, eviction of the person.

00:54:49.080 Uh, that seems about right.

00:54:54.240 The, the BC Human Rights Tribunal is repeatedly just out of control.

00:54:59.060 Look what they're doing to, to us on behalf of, uh, Jessica Simpson, formerly, uh, known

00:55:05.740 as another name that we can't say.

00:55:07.500 Yes, I was going to say, don't, don't dead name, don't you dare.

00:55:11.560 Oh, this is so, yeah.

00:55:13.080 I see, I, not a, not a fan, but, um, we'll do it for the monetization.

00:55:17.880 Um, this is just another case where the BC Human Rights Tribunal, these are completely,

00:55:23.380 you know, these are not elected people.

00:55:25.480 They're not, uh, representative at all of the true, they're not a true reflection of

00:55:32.040 British Columbians.

00:55:33.720 Um, yeah.

00:55:34.780 Look at this.

00:55:35.540 Last month, the tribunal awarded $10,000 to Terry Wiebe, a transgender identified female

00:55:41.380 who uses they, them pronouns after Wiebe's former friend and landlord.

00:55:45.120 So this is not a problem with transphobia.

00:55:48.000 This was a former friend and landlord.

00:55:50.080 Kristen Olson said she would be uncomfortable, would be uncomfortable if Wiebe underwent a 0.80

00:55:56.500 gender affirming double mastectomy. 0.98

00:55:59.500 Wiebe, according to the ruling, asked Ms. Olson more than once if their tenancy would be affected

00:56:05.160 if they got gender affirming surgery.

00:56:08.140 Ms. Olson did not respond directly, but said she was uncomfortable with it.

00:56:12.840 What has this got to do with rent?

00:56:16.940 Despite the HRT ruling that Wiebe's transgender identity was not a factor in the eviction, it

00:56:22.420 still found that Olson had discriminated, causing an adverse impact on Terry Wiebe's tenancy.

00:56:28.280 So if you tell a friend that, hey, I don't, I don't think that's right for you.

00:56:34.060 I don't think you're going to be happy after you do this.

00:56:36.580 And you have a, like, a business relationship with this friend that also will find you in

00:56:42.720 front of the human rights tributal in BC.

00:56:46.000 Apparently they govern friendships now is what I'm saying.

00:56:49.260 Yeah, this whole story is just absolutely bizarre.

00:56:52.380 Well, it says it right here.

00:56:53.200 The whole case is bizarre.

00:56:55.000 Um, we wanted to evict, uh, Olson as early as 2017, not because of any transgender surgery 1.00

00:57:07.420 stuff, but because of Wiebe's increasingly volatile behavior, lack of appropriate boundaries

00:57:14.100 and making the property unsightly with, uh, and also their irate and distraught behavior

00:57:21.560 following a romantic breakup.

00:57:24.380 Olson testified that her tenant frightened her when Wiebe screamed about how they would

00:57:29.340 get back at their ex-girlfriend.

00:57:32.580 Um, and she said she wanted to move her mother onto the property. 0.99

00:57:38.260 So this has absolutely nothing.

00:57:40.680 Yeah, this is crazy, crazy, craziness.

00:57:42.600 And if you don't have the right to get rid of an irate and distraught tenant, who's making

00:57:49.260 your property unsightly, so like probably destroying, uh, almost feels like that person's mentally 0.97

00:57:55.340 ill. 0.92

00:57:56.380 Almost feels like that.

00:57:57.860 Yeah.

00:57:58.180 I wonder about those comorbidities.

00:58:00.660 Um, this is, this is the reason why this landlord wanted to uphold their right to keep

00:58:09.840 their property safe for other tenants and in a neat and tidy state.

00:58:16.040 Um, this is disturbing, but it goes on here that there was a disturbing incident and the

00:58:22.740 article's pretty long here.

00:58:24.420 So that's a good, like fulsome overview of what occurred throughout the duration of this

00:58:28.900 tenancy.

00:58:29.300 And again, dating back to 2017, um, and the weaponization of the transgender issue by some

00:58:37.280 of these individuals to get their way and to have their, um, instability affirmed and

00:58:47.640 validated.

00:58:48.200 That's exactly what just happened here in this case.

00:58:51.860 Yeah.

00:58:52.580 I mean, it's, that's a former friend who in passing said, I probably don't think doing

00:58:58.580 that is going to be the greatest idea for you.

00:59:01.060 Um, all of a sudden it becomes an issue with their tenancy and you know, the fact that they're

00:59:08.020 damaging your property, you're paying taxes on that you own and they are, uh, threatening

00:59:14.000 people, which makes you wonder if they're safe to have in your home.

00:59:18.340 Um, and then they want to move, move their mother in. 0.63

00:59:20.940 I mean, just, I don't know why anybody wants to be a landlord these days.

00:59:25.280 I have no idea.

00:59:26.320 I don't know.

00:59:27.660 I have no idea.

00:59:28.880 It's not in your favor anymore.

00:59:30.440 That's for sure.

00:59:32.040 Um, Billy Howard here gives $1.

00:59:33.920 Actually, I think this is our first monetized.

00:59:36.720 It's blue.

00:59:37.700 So I think this might be our first monetized chat, uh, re-monetized chat on YouTube from

00:59:43.020 Billy Howard.

00:59:43.780 Thank you very much.

00:59:45.220 Uh, oh no, this is actually from Rumble.

00:59:46.920 My, my mistake.

00:59:47.820 Yeah.

00:59:48.060 Uh, Trump just announced on X that for fairness, he will match tariffs on all countries instead

00:59:55.140 of unilateral tariffs.

00:59:57.100 Well, that's interesting.

00:59:57.900 I don't know if we have that post, but, um, it's a, it's a day by day, minute by minute

01:00:02.640 situation.

01:00:03.360 That's just endlessly evolving and changing.

01:00:07.340 Yeah.

01:00:07.820 And you, it's almost like you need somebody who's completely plugged into the process to

01:00:11.120 be involved.

01:00:11.600 And Justin Trudeau is in Europe, whining and dining himself, not eating the bugs.

01:00:18.180 All right.

01:00:18.900 I think that wraps it up unless there's anything else here on the stream.

01:00:23.960 And maybe Sheila, I know we're already a minute over when you said you had to go by,

01:00:27.780 but do you have just 30 seconds to share with us the court hearing that's going on?

01:00:32.280 Sure.

01:00:32.420 Right now in federal court, the justice center for constitutional freedoms is trying to have

01:00:38.580 a federal court justice.

01:00:40.520 Uh, I think it's justice cramped in overturned the Justin Trudeau liberals prorogation of

01:00:49.580 parliament, and they are using Justin Trudeau's own press conference when he announced a prorogation

01:00:55.020 and his own words to impugn him.

01:00:57.400 You see, uh, there really are no rules around prorogation, but there is a tradition and there

01:01:05.720 is the spirit of prorogation.

01:01:08.420 And you really don't have to give all that many reasons, but the spirit of the law or the

01:01:15.980 spirit of the ability to prorogue what they call the, um, prerogative of prorogation is that

01:01:22.720 you can't use it for partisan reasons.

01:01:26.120 Even if you are using it for partisan reasons, you don't talk about the partisan reasons.

01:01:31.640 And Justin Trudeau actually talked about the partisan reasons.

01:01:34.640 First, he said that parliament was gridlocked and they couldn't get any work done.

01:01:39.720 That was what the first reason.

01:01:41.040 And the second reason was that he was not the right guy to lead the liberals into the

01:01:45.360 next election.

01:01:47.480 The second one is definitely a no, no, uh, that's partisan.

01:01:51.040 And there is no reason why parliament cannot be working, especially given the extraordinary

01:01:57.560 tariff crisis that we're in and the liberals can run a leadership race simultaneously.

01:02:03.860 Like there's nothing on the planet preventing those two things from happening at once, except

01:02:10.500 insofar as they want to advance the liberals, uh, prospects in the next election.

01:02:17.060 And that is not the government of Canada's problem.

01:02:20.840 It's not parliament's problem.

01:02:23.180 And the other one, as I said, was the gridlock issue.

01:02:26.380 There was no gridlock for, for major pieces of legislation were passed before prorogation.

01:02:34.280 The only gridlock was that the liberals would not turn over green slush fund documents to

01:02:40.800 parliament so that parliament could turn them over to the RCMP to finally get to the bottom

01:02:45.980 of the level of corruption that was happening in that, uh, just money laundering operation

01:02:51.520 in the federal government.

01:02:53.060 So you, the idea that you needed to have complex reasons to prorogue, it's not true.

01:03:00.200 And you could easily just say, look, we, we want to advance new legislation.

01:03:05.060 So we're going to prorogue parliament and bring it back.

01:03:09.160 And we're going to advance a whole bunch of legislation.

01:03:11.900 Okay.

01:03:13.060 Uh, that would have been a great reason.

01:03:14.740 It would have probably been untrue if the liberals had said it, but they say untrue things all 1.00

01:03:18.680 the time, like, you know, immigration targets, Justin Trudeau in his infinite stupidity, advanced 0.99

01:03:26.140 two reasons that violate accepted tradition. 0.99

01:03:30.220 Uh, and now there was some issues in court, like, Hey, uh, actually the governor general

01:03:36.660 technically prorogues parliament.

01:03:38.200 So shouldn't your court action be against her?

01:03:40.640 Well, the governor general has never, ever, ever in the history of Canada denied a request

01:03:46.580 for prorogation, which means that, and it is established tradition that, uh, the powers

01:03:54.000 and responsibility always fall back to the elected official.

01:03:57.200 She's just, uh, a formal head of state.

01:04:00.080 Uh, the powers and responsibility technically fall back to the government, even though it's,

01:04:04.600 you know, in our parliamentary system, she's actually a head of state. 0.98

01:04:06.860 So, um, they got around that issue today and now it is really, it's up to the court to determine

01:04:13.800 are there restrictions on prorogation or can you just do it for whatever, whenever, and

01:04:21.980 if you can do it for whatever, whenever, then we absolutely have an unrestrained executive,

01:04:27.300 which means we will, we could have tyranny.

01:04:30.940 It means that the governing party can cancel parliament whenever they want for whatever reason.

01:04:36.340 And that is not in the spirit of democracy.

01:04:39.100 So the, the court has to make that decision and we're relying heavily, I think on the

01:04:45.680 only real piece of case law in the world.

01:04:48.320 And that is a decision that, you know, with governments that have a similar setup to ours,

01:04:54.120 it's a decision out of the UK where, uh, they overturned the decision.

01:04:58.360 I think of the Boris Johnson government to prorogue itself because their reasons weren't

01:05:02.360 good enough.

01:05:02.780 And like I said, you don't even have to have a great reason.

01:05:05.620 It has to be just like an okay reason.

01:05:07.900 And, uh, Justin Trudeau, I, in my opinion, now I don't know about the court's opinion.

01:05:11.560 I don't think those decisions were good enough.

01:05:13.980 Yeah.

01:05:14.460 I w it'll be interesting to know the court's decision.

01:05:17.140 Um, the courts, the hearings continue now, so we'll let Sheila get back to it and all day 0.98

01:05:22.060 tomorrow that I think they've scheduled.

01:05:23.760 Yep.

01:05:24.240 Yeah.

01:05:24.400 All day tomorrow also.

01:05:25.540 So it's going to be a long day in this chair that is getting increasingly uncomfortable.

01:05:29.840 So I just might have to treat myself to a new chair.

01:05:34.960 Yeah.

01:05:35.420 I think that, uh, you've earned it, Sheila.

01:05:37.980 Yeah.

01:05:38.600 All right.

01:05:39.160 So with that, uh, thanks everybody that made the stream possible.

01:05:41.700 Thank you to all of our viewers, both on rumble and on YouTube and, uh, everyone who works

01:05:47.460 behind the scenes to make sure that you can find us and share the links and watch us seamlessly

01:05:54.100 on a few different platforms, uh, we'll be back tomorrow.

01:05:58.240 I think for a special election debate live stream, the Ontario leaders, because if that

01:06:03.720 wasn't all enough that Sheila mentioned there, um, premier Doug Ford of Ontario also called

01:06:09.080 a snap election.

01:06:09.800 So there's also an election happening or sorry, campaigning happening in Ontario and the leaders

01:06:15.860 will be debating tomorrow.

01:06:17.280 And I think it'll be Ezra running that stream and we will be live.

01:06:22.100 He will be live reacting to some of the debate.

01:06:25.700 So tune in for that one tomorrow.

01:06:28.560 And in the meantime, uh, hold on to your critical thinking caps because the PSYOPs are coming

01:06:33.540 and they're counting on you to let your guard down.

01:06:37.180 Thanks everybody.
