00:00:30.000 Oh, hey, everybody joining us at home. Welcome to our Daily Rebel Roundup. Today is Thursday,

00:00:49.500 May the 15th. Crazy to think that we're already halfway through the month of May. Summer will be

00:00:55.520 here before we know it. And today, I'm your co-host, host, Tamara Ugolini, and our regular

00:01:04.400 correspondent and daily host, Sheila Gunn-Reed from Alberta. So welcome and thanks for joining us.

00:01:12.040 We are here to feature the news items of the day. And it's a great way for us to kind of just off

00:01:18.760 the cuff, talk to our audience, get out some news pieces in a way that it's kind of a rapid fire

00:01:24.720 dissection. And then we can provide commentary or feedback. And so one fun way that our audience can

00:01:31.480 help contribute to our efforts and also have your voice heard is by contributing to various platforms.

00:01:39.080 So we're streaming on YouTube, Rumble, or X. And you can give us what is called a Rumble rant over on,

00:01:45.200 obviously, Rumble, or a super chat on YouTube. And through a small monetary donation of $5 or more,

00:01:52.020 we will read your comments as live as possible on air. So we'll try to kind of get to them as they

00:01:59.420 relate to the topics that we're going through. And today, our main headliners, so to speak,

00:02:06.240 are Carney's middle class tax cut, Polyev on pipelines, and a Save the Ostriches update,

00:02:14.000 because this is now receiving global attention. These ostriches, I think that what there's 400

00:02:21.360 of them, roughly, that it will be called or are to be called, we'll see if any good boots on the

00:02:28.800 ground journalism will make a difference. But we'll get to that toward the end of the show.

00:02:33.040 So if you're joining us, feel free to chip in in the chat, or just fire away in there, let us know

00:02:39.780 what you're thinking. If you'd like to have anything more widely broadcast on the Rebel platform,

00:02:45.320 then chip in if you're able to. We always appreciate hearing from our audience, because

00:02:48.820 we don't take a penny from the government. And so we are donor led and donor funded. So thanks,

00:02:54.960 everyone in advance for your support. Sheila, I didn't even ask, how are you doing? And I think

00:03:01.500 I covered all the housekeeping stuff, but feel free to fill any gaps in if I didn't.

00:03:06.220 No, you did. You're doing a great job. And I'm so glad you are, because I'm exhausted.

00:03:11.120 I had to go. I did a whole day's worth of work before noon yesterday, grabbed my stuff,

00:03:16.940 ran out the door, and I hosted our Rebel News emergency town hall on sovereignty and the issue

00:03:24.800 of Alberta separation or sovereignty association or whatever it is. We're a place to host the

00:03:31.060 conversation. And so we did that in Calgary last night. And then when that wrapped up,

00:03:35.840 I drove the four hours back home. And so I'm running a little rough today. I'm a little bit

00:03:41.660 tired. So I'm so glad that Tamara, you're as sharp as you always are today. But yeah, it's a strange

00:03:49.020 time. Mark Carney is acting like a fiscal conservative, if you listen to him. But if you read between the

00:03:54.760 lines, not much of one at all. And I can't believe that all of a sudden, I'm on team ostrich. There are two.

00:04:00.540 Two animals that I really dislike. And it's through personal experience. One of them is ostriches,

00:04:07.060 and the other one is llamas. And I'm cheering for the ostriches now. I can't believe it. This is how

00:04:12.960 bad the Canadian government is. But we'll get into that a little bit later in the show. And I think

00:04:16.700 those ostriches, by the way, are alive in no small part thanks to Drea's public awareness campaign

00:04:22.880 through her journalism, bringing awareness to the plight of these ostriches. And this farm,

00:04:29.640 as it faces the unscientific heavy hand of government, actually, you know, let's just

00:04:34.600 do we have a video from Drea announcing? You know, we'll get to that in a bit. Let's

00:04:40.540 talk about Mark. I don't want to go off the rails here. This is why Tamara is in the driver's seat

00:04:46.100 today. I'm already screwing this up. Mark Carney, Canada, he announced the cabinet. And then he did

00:04:54.640 this like, very theatrical, Trump, Trump like, by the way, signing of an executive order of which we

00:05:03.260 don't have in this country, to bring in a middle class tax cut for a guy who like made a campaign

00:05:10.400 on campaigning against Trump. Why are you acting just like him by inventing an executive order in

00:05:18.700 Canada? Makes no sense. As we look to build out this economy, it's my pleasure on behalf of the

00:05:26.060 cabinet to sign this order to deliver that tax cut. Thank you very much.

00:05:36.900 As we look. Oh, there's all the clapping seals. Yeah, it's just this is just pure. It's a purely

00:05:46.940 performative gesture that he did. And you know, it's like Mark Carney's just off to the virtue

00:05:52.660 signaling races. And this isn't how the parliament works in and implements things into law in Canada,

00:06:01.720 it has to be signed off by the governor general, not Mark Carney. So the I don't know what he's

00:06:07.780 signing. It looks like you can see there's a little logo there. So it looks like it's some sort of formal

00:06:13.080 document, you know, that he's doing big things. And that's not to say that a tax cut isn't very much

00:06:19.280 welcome and isn't a big thing. But this is clearly performative in nature. And and nothing more than

00:06:25.680 that we don't the prime minister doesn't sign off on things like this in Canada. But yeah,

00:06:32.440 I'll have a report out I think I hope later today, it will be up on some of the other kind of Trump

00:06:37.640 adjacent things that Carney has been doing. And of course, we'll share some clips of Paul Yev,

00:06:44.900 who's now basically calling him out for stealing some of their policies. And yeah, it's like when did

00:06:52.880 Carney all of a sudden become a conservative? Well, don't give him too much credit because that

00:06:58.860 massive middle tax cap, middle class tax cut in again, I'm for lowering taxes, every little bit

00:07:06.200 helps. But to pretend like this was some big sort of grand gesture, he lowered it from 15% down to 14.5%

00:07:15.880 for the second half of 2025. And then down, you'll get the full 1% through 2026. So helpful, yes,

00:07:26.660 you know, might save you a couple hundred bucks on your tax bill. But this is not like the big like

00:07:32.040 slash cut where we care about the little guy gesture that he made it seem. It's a half a percentage

00:07:38.600 point. Yeah, yeah, great context always to add. And maybe Sheila, that's worth the community note on

00:07:44.820 X, because I see there's already one pending, just basically saying like, this doesn't mean

00:07:49.540 anything, because it's the governor general who signs off on this stuff. So I love double checking,

00:07:56.660 like it's, it's a great way for everyday people to be, you know, these fact checkers. And so by doing

00:08:05.160 that, other people can see that kind of added context that's needed on some of these things. Because

00:08:10.400 otherwise, you know, you, you hope that you can take these things at face value. And as we continue

00:08:16.280 to learn, you simply cannot. Meanwhile, Pierre Polyev, leader of the official opposition,

00:08:23.300 is calling out the liberals for failing to deliver a budget. And he says in there, anyway, we'll play the

00:08:29.980 clip. But basically, this is hasn't happened since the 60s, apart from, you know, the COVID era, when it

00:08:35.040 was all kind of like, money is no object, and we're just going to react however we need to and spend

00:08:41.220 billions of dollars and not worry about how we're going to pay it back until, you know, your

00:08:46.100 grandchildren, they can worry about that. That's the kind of intricate hard work that we have to do

00:08:54.120 as parliamentarians to protect our economy. And that takes a plan, a plan to reverse the liberal

00:09:01.500 housing crisis, a plan to reverse the liberal inflation crisis, a plan to reverse the liberal

00:09:07.040 jobs and economic growth crisis, a plan to stand up against American tariffs. And that plan always

00:09:14.040 comes in the form of a budget. A budget determines and informs Canadians of the size of the debt and

00:09:21.760 the deficit, of the future interest rate and inflation costs, of the tax policies that determine

00:09:28.060 whether companies hire or fire employees, of the laws that allow us to or block us from building

00:09:34.280 major infrastructure projects that will create jobs and make us more independent from the Americans

00:09:41.440 who are threatening us with tariffs. Now, Mr. Carney said during the election campaign that he had a

00:09:46.280 plan. And he took great delight in saying that a slogan is not a plan. Well, a budget is a plan.

00:09:53.780 And if he does indeed have a plan, if he does know what he's doing, then he would introduce a budget

00:09:59.820 so that Canadians know exactly what the finances are. We were very disappointed yesterday to hear

00:10:06.500 that he has no budget planned for this year. This makes it the longest period without a budget since

00:10:13.700 the 60s. The first time there has not been a budget outside of COVID in over 20 years. Extremely unusual.

00:10:21.940 He'll send a bad signal to investors and ratings agencies. And a lot of people will wonder what

00:10:28.380 the Liberal government is hiding about our finances. And so we're here with solutions. I'm proposing to

00:10:33.580 offering the Prime Minister to sit down with him and propose Conservative solutions that we hope that

00:10:40.260 he will steal. I want him to steal our best ideas. That includes cutting the bureaucracy, consultants,

00:10:46.600 foreign aid, and other wasteful spending to bring down deficits, inflation, and taxes. We want a real

00:10:53.800 income tax cut that rewards hard work, axe the federal sales tax on new homes to promote more building and

00:11:00.480 lower costs, and stand up against American tariffs with lower taxes on Canadian investment and by repealing

00:11:09.360 all of the anti-energy policies like C69, C48, the energy cap, the electric vehicle mandate, and unleashing

00:11:20.240 our resources so that we can become the richest country in the world. Now, these are ideas that

00:11:26.000 Conservatives are putting forward, but I'm happy to bring them right to the Prime Minister's desk and invite

00:11:30.480 him to steal them and put them right in his platform. And if he does, then we will help get those passed

00:11:35.520 before Canada Day. So let's work together. Let's have a real plan, a real budget, and let's bring

00:11:41.440 it home. Thank you very much.

00:11:45.840 I was just going to say, the Liberals, I'm not sure what they need a budget for. They just

00:11:51.920 continue to spend money through special warrants, right? Like they went for, I think, $30 billion and

00:11:59.920 another one for around $44 billion. These Governor General special warrants that are used to

00:12:07.600 continue to fund the government during times of election periods, but because they prorogued

00:12:14.000 Parliament for an extended period so that they could shuffle the deck so that they could install Mark

00:12:21.680 Carney, they actually needed two of these special warrants. So $73 or $74 billion without any sort of

00:12:28.720 parliamentary oversight. And then these Yahoo's say we're not even going to bring in a budget

00:12:32.640 and Fitch, the ratings agency, has already threatened to downgrade Canada's credit rating

00:12:38.720 because of our debt load. This is just wholly irresponsible. And I hope the boomers in Ontario

00:12:47.520 are happy with themselves.

00:12:49.760 Yeah, and not all boomers.

00:12:51.360 No, again, don't write me letters. If you didn't vote for Carney, I'm not talking about you.

00:12:56.960 I have some boomers in my life that are like, no, it's not us. We are trying.

00:13:02.240 We know. We know it's not you.

00:13:04.640 Uh, but, but, you know, the liberals like slashing, if you, if you slash the bureaucracy

00:13:09.840 and you cut the consultants, what's left of a, for a liberal government to do? It's like the two,

00:13:14.800 they go hand in hand. That would mean, you know, taking your cronies off the taxpayer siphon

00:13:21.920 and the taxpayer trough. And, uh, I think that that's very, very unlikely, but perhaps if I,

00:13:29.840 the 0.5% tax cut has anything to do with it, maybe we're on the right track. Maybe just maybe

00:13:37.920 we're on the right track, but I would say it's a pretty doubtful, especially when we have, you know,

00:13:43.520 eco-radical and, um, climate criminal Stephen Guilbault being, you know, placed, it was all

00:13:51.600 the worst of the worst that have been re-implemented as the front runners in, in Carney's cabinet

00:13:58.560 selections, um, which Pierre Polyev is also calling out specifically, um, for the decision

00:14:05.200 to keep the climate czar Stephen Guilbault in cabinet. Uh, is Stephen Guilbault a threat to

00:14:12.640 national unity in his current role as minister of national identity and Quebec lieutenant?

00:14:17.840 Yes, he is. Absolutely. I mean, he, I just find it astonishing that Mr. Carney would appoint

00:14:24.480 a man who says we don't need any pipelines built. Um, the liberals went around the country pretending

00:14:30.560 they had changed their minds about pipelines after 10 years of blocking them, but now one of Mr.

00:14:36.560 Carney's top ministers comes out and says we don't need any more pipelines and that, uh, he would work

00:14:42.960 to block those pipelines. Um, he, uh, he wants to block road construction, he's against nuclear power,

00:14:49.520 he's against all forms of economic development, and that will be bad for the entire country to be clear,

00:14:56.720 but especially antagonistic to, uh, the resource producing provinces like Saskatchewan and Alberta,

00:15:03.680 who rightly feel that they have been mistreated, uh, by this last, uh, lost liberal decade. So,

00:15:09.520 um, we, what we see, you know, we have Mr. Guilbault who wants to block resource development. We have

00:15:18.880 Sean Frazier who created the immigration crisis and then the housing crisis. A new housing minister

00:15:24.720 yesterday who says he doesn't want housing costs to go down. Presumably he wants them to go up like

00:15:30.240 they did when he tripled them, nearly tripled them as mayor of Vancouver. So what we're seeing is that

00:15:37.040 in the last 48 hours of this liberal government is looking a lot like the last 10 years of the liberal

00:15:45.200 government. What we need is a real change, a change so that we can bring home the country that we knew

00:15:50.320 in love so that anyone who works hard gets a powerful paycheck, they can live in a nice affordable home

00:15:57.200 on a safe street, and we as conservatives will work with anyone to bring home that Canada. Thank you very much.

00:16:04.800 Yeah, it's a lot of the, uh, same old failures just shuffled around. Like, Guilbault has gone from being

00:16:12.320 the guy who stifled oil and gas at the environment ministry to the guy who's going to stifle free

00:16:17.840 speech over at the heritage ministry. Like he was given a lateral move. He should have been

00:16:24.240 demoted. And when we are in absolutely a unity crisis in this country, I mean,

00:16:30.880 one in four, well, sorry, four out of 10 Albertans want to leave and 50% of them say,

00:16:38.240 yeah, we should at least put this to the people. What does Carney do? Gives us the guy who caused

00:16:45.120 so much of the division in the first place and puts a, uh, one of Guilbault's acolytes into the

00:16:52.800 environment ministry, Julie Drabusin. She has taken credit for the plastics ban. She is a radical

00:17:00.880 anti-pipeline lunatic. She says it'll never be free to pollute again. Um, and she's a radical

00:17:07.840 anti-gun, uh, crazy person. So, uh, the person that he replaced Guilbault with is just as bad as him,

00:17:16.880 but also with this extra focus on Western culture by being anti-firearms. So, uh,

00:17:24.000 well done, Mr. Carney. Yeah. It's just an added slap in the face to Albertans who, you know,

00:17:30.400 and many Canadians who were hopeful for a real change, um, a change in government. And I don't

00:17:37.760 know, the elbows up liberals. Well, we'll see. Um, as we said last week, you know, Carney's elbows

00:17:42.480 were pretty far down last week when he, or the week before when he met with, uh, President Trump

00:17:48.880 at the Oval Office. So, yeah, I think more of, um, looking like a dog with your tail between your

00:17:56.520 legs to come from Mark Carney and, uh, disguised by this, um, these glamorous little Twitter clips

00:18:05.160 and virtue signaling visuals. Who in their right mind thinks that this is change. And yet,

00:18:11.900 if you wander into the like X, uh, liberal verse, they're like, Oh yeah, this is real change. This

00:18:19.340 is a cabinet we can get behind. I'm like, do the same failures as last time. Like Sean Fraser

00:18:24.540 has screwed up every portfolio he touched. Like not only did he just maintain something as

00:18:31.680 consistently bad, he actually made it worse. And now he's the AG. Like now he's in charge of the

00:18:39.020 laws of the land, screwed up immigration, screwed up housing. And they're like, you know what? You're

00:18:43.420 the man for the justice system. We've got a real crime wave in this country, by the way. And now he's

00:18:49.320 over there. What could possibly go wrong? It's all the same failures. I mean, yeah. And look at Anita

00:18:55.260 Anand, um, infamous at the beginning, just, she is one of the main pandemic profiteers very early on

00:19:03.440 her, her husband's, uh, company. Well, he's the board of directors life labs was awarded. I'm just

00:19:09.320 trying to pull it up here. I think it was almost $70 million worth of COVID related contracts, um,

00:19:17.320 for the test kits for foreign travelers. And, um, and then he was awarded another 1.9 million.

00:19:24.000 Anyway, these, uh, you know, pandemic profiteers, they were, they're literally the worst of the worst

00:19:29.620 that have just been shuffled around and placed back front and center for Canadians and Canadians

00:19:34.980 that see through it are just, you know, reeling. And then other Canadians are the liberal, like you

00:19:40.180 said, the liberal verse is like, Oh, this is the change that we all needed. Elbows up everybody.

00:19:45.780 It's crazy. And slowly we turn into a country that is just owned by Brookfield asset management. Like

00:19:55.700 we're just going to call ourselves Brooktopia by the end of these four years and everything's going

00:20:01.300 to be done by Brookfield. And we're just going to live in our Brookfield cubicles.

00:20:05.700 You will own nothing and you will be happy, Sheila.

00:20:08.440 You better believe it.

00:20:10.000 And now we also have, uh, Premier Ford also sounding kind of like a conservative again. Um,

00:20:17.020 all of a sudden after, you know, 10 years, uh, Ontario Premier Doug Ford wants to see more pipelines.

00:20:27.020 Oh, okay. Well, I've got my opinions on this. We'll talk about them after. Um,

00:20:32.340 but why is Wob Canoe the one I like the most here? Like, this is bad anyway.

00:20:40.000 It just can't be business as usual. We have to move forward. We got elected on a strong mandate

00:20:46.520 and, uh, we have to compete against, not just around the world, but, uh, compete against, uh,

00:20:52.420 President Trump and his tariffs. And the only way we can do that is if we get rid of C69.

00:20:58.220 Uh, it, it doesn't allow all of us across the country to move forward in a rapid, uh, speed.

00:21:05.740 And I really appreciate, uh, what, uh, Prime Minister Carney mentioned yesterday. I, I personally

00:21:11.880 feel he's going to move quick, but we all have to move quick, all the premiers to, to get our economy

00:21:17.400 going, make sure we give certainty to, to everyone, uh, across the country, not just our individual

00:21:23.340 provinces and territories. And I know we all have those big nation building projects in mind

00:21:29.220 that we want to see get done. We all want a clean, safe, healthy environment for the future

00:21:34.420 generations of Canada. We all love that as Canadians. Uh, I just think it's important for the, the,

00:21:39.740 the Prime Minister to respond to the current moment and ensure that these big job creating

00:21:44.400 economic projects can move forward in a good way. Why do I like Wob Canoe the best? Like, I hope

00:21:52.800 Wob Canoe becomes the federal party leader of the NDP because while I probably disagree with him on

00:21:59.560 75% of issues, I don't think he's actually insane. And I appreciate his redemption arc. Yeah. He's got a

00:22:06.340 storied backstory. Um, but I feel like he is one of the more reasonable premiers in this country. He's

00:22:16.580 certainly not a crazy person like David Evie, as far as NDP leaders go, or Naheed Nenshi here in

00:22:22.360 Alberta. And he's pro oil and gas. It like great, but Doug Ford to say like, Oh yeah, we're going to

00:22:29.900 scrap bill C-69. Why the hell did you push forward the guy who's campaigned on keeping it?

00:22:37.480 You know, like he campaigned for Mark Carney. Now you're all like, we've got to get some pipelines

00:22:41.180 built. Well, based on the fact that Stephen Gilbo is still in cabinet and saying, we're not

00:22:47.700 building any pipelines, we don't need any pipelines. And then having Julie DeBruce and the crazy lady

00:22:52.580 that's over at environment. Now that's a pretty strong message to the rest of us at these nation

00:22:56.860 building pipeline projects that NDP premier in Manitoba, Wob Canoe thinks are valuable.

00:23:03.780 Those aren't going to get built as long as Mark Carney's around. Exactly. Yeah. Why didn't you

00:23:07.800 just sit down and zip your mouth during the federal election instead of, you know, working against the

00:23:16.160 conservatives who wanted to open up all of this economic force that we have literally just beneath

00:23:23.220 our feet in Canada. And I mean, Doug Ford, better late than never. I seem to always say about Doug

00:23:29.760 Ford and his flip-flop capabilities where he's just kind of going wherever the political wind blows him.

00:23:35.760 But yeah, where were you, you know, six months ago, last year, five years ago, six weeks ago,

00:23:42.140 again, better late than never, Doug Ford. But I mean, you could have came out and started saying

00:23:47.840 these things a long time ago. He was the guy who was saying to Alberta that we were basically

00:23:53.560 traitors because we weren't going to turn off oil and gas to the United States, which actually would

00:23:58.080 have resulted in turning off oil and gas to Ontario and Quebec, but he's not bright enough to know that.

00:24:04.020 And so now he's all pro-pipeline, you know? Well, I think he's seen too, like the electric vehicle

00:24:09.700 stuff is failing despite massive millions in funding from billions in funding from various

00:24:19.160 governments, both provincial and federal. And then, you know, the crickets in London, Ontario,

00:24:24.880 the largest cricket facility is going under despite, again, millions thrown at it too.

00:24:30.280 So these like alternative energies, the alternative food sources, all of the stuff that the global elite

00:24:36.820 want us little plebs, the little guys to be mandated to eat and live by, that's all crumbling.

00:24:45.800 It's not successful. It's failing industries. And you're seeing it play out in real time now. And so

00:24:52.820 what's left? Well, we have reliable, consistent, dependable energy sources. And why aren't we

00:25:00.360 tapping, literally tapping into them? Like, let's, let's go here, guys.

00:25:04.340 Yeah. It's so crazy. And then they keep saying there's no business case. Like it's the dumbest

00:25:10.900 thing ever because the fact that they wanted us to turn off oil and gas to the United States

00:25:16.440 tells me that, yeah, there's a pretty good business case, right? Like it's a pretty strong weapon if you

00:25:23.200 wanted it to be, which means, yeah, there's a business case for it. But we've got this government

00:25:29.960 that just is proceeding at breakneck speeds towards this electric vehicle mandate, which

00:25:36.680 nobody wants. The grid is not equipped to support. And, you know, they're trying to do it through

00:25:43.100 legislation. They're saying like, oh, all the new Canadian cars by 2035 have to be electric. And

00:25:50.280 so then nobody's buying those. So what do you do? You give money to the electric vehicle automakers and

00:25:58.440 their adjacent battery plants. Billions and billions of Canadian dollars go into that. And

00:26:04.660 then they also go bankrupt because this is Canada. They're unreliable. Like nobody wants them. You

00:26:11.560 cannot shoehorn us into this through a command and control economy. Uh, Honda has delayed a $15

00:26:19.800 billion electric vehicle project citing demand. Yeah, no kidding. And they're shifting some CRV output

00:26:27.720 to the United States. So the CRV is their like flagship affordable middle of the road, uh, smaller SUV

00:26:36.040 and, uh, their CRV that's intended may was originally supposed to be made in Canada

00:26:43.940 and intended for sale in us markets while they're just cutting out the middleman and they're just

00:26:50.440 moving production to their Ohio plant because of tariffs, which is exactly what the tariffs are designed

00:26:55.820 to do by the way. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. When Carney went and tried to have that meeting with, uh,

00:27:01.720 president Trump, he's like, Oh, well you, we have all of these things we can offer you steel aluminum.

00:27:06.580 And Trump was like, we want to manufacture it here. We are bringing our manufacturing back home. Like

00:27:12.700 this isn't a difficult concept to understand. Um, especially, you know, Mark Carney claims to be

00:27:17.700 this like seasoned businessman and banker. And it's like, Trump has, was always campaigning on America

00:27:24.120 first. He always said he wanted to bring manufacturing back to the U S. And so how is Canada going to

00:27:29.740 insulate itself from that move? And here we are, this is that this is exactly what Trump wants.

00:27:36.760 And Canada is, um, elbows down, cowering at the side, looking at Trump, like, you know, he's some

00:27:43.220 sort of mentor. Um, that's, that's the leader that we have who pales in comparison. Like I just see the,

00:27:50.360 the body language between Trump and Carney. And, um, it's scary to think that that is who is

00:27:55.960 representing us. I mean, Trudeau had his own problems do not get me wrong, but at least he

00:28:00.600 was like, so, um, ignorant to his own incompetence that it seemed like he had confidence. Right.

00:28:10.180 But Carney doesn't even have that. Yeah. Trudeau had this like idiotic lack of self-awareness,

00:28:16.980 which was like, you could interpret as confidence, even though he should not have had confidence in

00:28:23.300 his capabilities, but Carney, his body language is quite submissive. Um, and these, the subsidization

00:28:31.540 of our, uh, electric vehicle auto sector, if you can call it, that is, uh, resulting in exacerbating

00:28:41.460 these tariff problems, right? Like it, it's, it's one of those things that becomes a prickly sticking

00:28:47.100 point for the Americans because we're dumping billions of dollars into subsidized.

00:29:01.660 Am I back? All right. I think, I'm not sure if it's on my end or Sheila's end.

00:29:08.580 I don't know. I think it was zoom. Am I back?

00:29:11.400 That we've lost every, everything here. Sorry to our viewers. I hope that you can

00:29:16.320 hear us now. Uh, I'm just trying to, to catch up to see what's going on, but, um, but yeah,

00:29:23.380 the, the electric vehicle fiasco that's happening despite billions of money being invested and

00:29:29.760 that's our tax dollars. Um, just to see these, these things crumbling and failing, um, it's,

00:29:37.000 it's actually insanity, right? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different

00:29:43.060 results. Like let's take the loss and let's get into the ground and get that reliable

00:29:48.700 gold, liquid gold under our feet and start capitalizing on that economic growth that we

00:29:56.340 can, we can tap into. Yeah. I mean, it's sorry to just go on from here, go on on this still,

00:30:03.280 Doug Ford still can't figure out what's going on. Cause he says, I've talked to Honda and they've

00:30:08.000 promised us they're going to continue on with their expansion. But Honda is saying, no, we're

00:30:12.160 moving these EVs, uh, to Ohio. They're going to the American market anyway. And then Flavio

00:30:18.080 Volpe, uh, he's on the prime minister's like task force on trade. Uh, he's with the, uh,

00:30:26.820 automotive parts manufacturers association. He's blaming the tariffs. I think he's right.

00:30:32.000 Um, but I just don't like Flavio Volpe because he was one of those people who was like, you need

00:30:37.700 to, uh, bring in the emergencies act because they're blocking the bridge in Windsor. And so he

00:30:43.380 was like the guy that was really pushing for that from the auto sector. So, um, his credibility is

00:30:50.460 kind of garbage for me, but he's not actually particularly wrong here. He, uh, he is right.

00:30:55.300 That is the tariffs, uh, causing this. And this is what, again, what the tariffs were designed to do.

00:31:01.040 It was designed to repatriate auto manufacturing back to the United States here. It's happening.

00:31:07.540 It's happening. And the liberals have no, no, there's no clear plan. There's nothing,

00:31:12.920 nothing happening. So the new cabinet was unveiled just two days ago. And, uh, Melanie Jolie is now the

00:31:19.640 industry minister. Yay for that. Um, and she, so she had to field some questions about what is going to

00:31:27.060 happen to the auto workers as these auto plants are moving into the United States, thanks to the

00:31:34.620 tariffs that were intended to do this very thing. Um, and we know that because, and Carney knows that,

00:31:41.240 I mean, he moved Brookfield back in November, right? He saw the writing in on the wall. I mean,

00:31:46.900 this isn't anybody who has been paying attention can see that this was destined to occur. And yet there

00:31:55.480 has been nothing put in place to, to quell it, to compensate it, to stop it from happening, to ramp

00:32:02.380 up manufacturing here in Canada. This is the response we get instead from, uh, the industry

00:32:08.320 minister, Melanie Jolie. Have a listen.

00:32:12.280 What are their contingency plans? The prime minister says we always have to plan for the worst. If the

00:32:17.600 auto plants move south, can they be retooled? Can you redevelop the auto plants? So I've already

00:32:23.580 been in contact with the CEOs of GM, Ford, and also Stellantis. My goal is to be able to have good

00:32:31.100 conversations with them before the end of the week. My message to the workers in the auto sector

00:32:37.100 is we're there for you. We know that there's anxiety. We know you're concerned about losing

00:32:42.080 shifts. We know we were concerned about losing your jobs, and we will always fight for your

00:32:47.220 jobs. Notwithstanding that, we also have a $2 billion worth of support for the industry,

00:32:55.740 the auto industry, the steel aluminum industries that are affected by the trade war. One of my

00:33:00.060 first decisions will be also to make sure that the workers can benefit from these investments.

00:33:05.640 Yeah. Um, why weren't these conversations happening back in September, October, November,

00:33:15.080 when Carney decided to move Brookfield into the United States ahead of all of this mess?

00:33:20.440 December, I know Parliament's prorogued come January. Thanks, Trudeau. Instead of just

00:33:25.260 figuring out... Instead of dealing with this. Yeah.

00:33:28.120 They prorogued Parliament because it was more important for them to win the next election to

00:33:31.620 save those auto sector jobs. And now it is, uh, their solution is we're just going to give these

00:33:38.480 companies money. That's not a solution. That's... And it's only going to make it worse because the

00:33:45.320 problem Trump has with a lot of our auto sector, especially with the EVs, is we keep giving them

00:33:50.900 money. And he's like, that's not fair. That's protectionist. You're subsidizing industries that are

00:33:57.340 supposed to compete freely against American companies. It's part of his problem. It's only

00:34:02.160 going to make it worse. You have to have a better solution than, well, you know what? We'll just start

00:34:06.160 printing money. We're going to give these guys who are laid off some money. We're going to give some

00:34:09.820 money to the companies. No thanks for another auto bailout. Like, this is not a solution. This is just

00:34:15.880 like, well, we've got some money and we'll just start giving it out. That's how, that's how Canada

00:34:22.460 has, is like the third largest indebted country in the developed world right now. And it's going to

00:34:29.600 get worse. With literally, as we already said, there is no budget. Like, and you're just, here's a

00:34:36.280 billion. We're just going to make it rain, make it rain. And then we'll worry about how we're going to

00:34:41.200 pay it back later. Like this is COVID era subsidization, um, for industry shutdowns. I

00:34:47.080 mean, those were government mandated lockdown orders. And this is kind of not too much different

00:34:53.200 because they had months to figure it out. And now here we are, it's happening. Companies are moving

00:34:59.040 and the liberals are scrambling to try to figure it out because they didn't plan ahead. And they were

00:35:04.560 too worried about a snap election for what, what is it? The second, yeah, the second snap election in a

00:35:09.600 row, um, than actually doing anything to better the economy and get Canadians out of this mess.

00:35:16.100 Yeah. I mean, Trump came into power in January. He was elected in November. Uh, he campaigned on this,

00:35:22.000 by the way, they just didn't think that he would win, but when he did win, they should have been coming

00:35:27.100 up with a plan because it's not like this is a surprise to anybody, but they have, they still,

00:35:33.960 even now have no plan. No, there's no plan whatsoever. Uh, if, and again, why do Albertans

00:35:44.080 want to be shackled to this sinking ship? Makes you wonder. Yeah. Well, we, there is a plan and

00:35:50.760 we'll get to that maybe after an ad break, but I just want to read a quick super chat that we got

00:35:55.680 from JP power who gives $5 says, woo, love you guys. And love Ezra the most woo. He's really

00:36:02.640 excited. Who likes my Trump shirt. Um, so it says, I guess it's just Trump 2024 in there laugh out loud.

00:36:10.260 I wear it all the time here in left wing Windsor, Ontario freedom. That's awesome. Yeah. We love that.

00:36:16.920 Thank you so much for your support. We'll hit a quick ad break and then we'll come back to a premier

00:36:20.840 and someone who does have at least some semblance of a plan. Yeah. Let's face it. Canada's economy

00:36:28.660 isn't heading in the right direction. Inflation's eating away your savings and government debt is

00:38:11.720 permission to lead.

00:38:21.320 You know, those Alberta Republicans, this is not an endorsement of them, but I sure think they have a

00:38:26.720 good looking logo. That's all. Whoever does a good traffic design. I thought that was really well done and

00:38:31.960 simple. All right. Speaking of Western alienation, I think it's what I would describe Scott Moe's

00:38:39.880 problem here. Premier Scott Moe of Saskatchewan, he says, and I'm slightly disappointed, but at least he's

00:38:49.540 doing something. He says, I've written to Prime Minister Mark Carney outlining our strong Saskatchewan, strong

00:38:54.520 Canada plan. Ten key policy changes the federal government must make to reset Ottawa's relationship with

00:39:00.400 Saskatchewan. The Prime Minister has the ability to move forward on all 10 of these items quickly,

00:39:05.160 which would clearly signal a new, more positive relationship between Saskatchewan and the federal

00:39:09.020 government than we have had for the past 10 years. A strong Saskatchewan means a stronger Canada,

00:39:13.980 and all of these changes will be positive for both our province and our country.

00:39:18.300 And they're much the same things that we, I mean, there are fraternal twins in Confederation,

00:39:24.500 I say as an Albertan, and it's begin negotiations with China to remove the tariffs on Canadian agri-food

00:39:31.340 products, strengthen the criminal code through bail reform and the introduction of stronger penalties

00:39:36.340 to fight against new street drugs, stop attempting to collect the federal carbon tax on home heating

00:39:42.200 from Saskatchewan to be in line with the full removal of consumer carbon tax. I like that he says,

00:39:47.120 stop even trying to collect because they're not getting it. Transfer responsibility for the,

00:39:53.700 output-based pricing systems of heavy emitters to the provinces, and that's the large industrial

00:39:59.820 carbon tax that Alberta froze. Repeal the unachievable, unaffordable clean electricity

00:40:05.800 regulations, which Alberta is challenging in court, by the way. And extend the life of coal plants to

00:40:11.880 provide affordable and reliable baseload power to Saskatchewan residents. That's such a good one.

00:40:16.660 Repeal the oil and gas emissions cap, build trade and economic corridors across the country,

00:40:21.820 restore the investment climate and streamlining federal approval process to allow major projects

00:40:28.160 to proceed. That's basically repeal Bill C-69. And expand pipeline capacity to protect the collective

00:40:36.360 energy security of our nation. And then he says, my government and I are ready to do the hard work

00:40:43.580 needed to move Canada and Saskatchewan forward together. I would welcome the opportunity to meet

00:40:48.400 in person as soon as you are able to further this work. I know that the First Ministers are meeting

00:40:54.860 June 2nd in Saskatoon. I believe it is. Maybe it's Regina. But here's my problem with this very

00:41:03.160 excellent letter. Where's the or else, good sir? There's a lot of like, we need you to do this.

00:41:09.080 And I agree with everything that he said there, but there's no or else. And what the or else should be

00:41:14.600 is Saskatchewan bringing their citizen-led initiative legislation in line with Alberta's so that the

00:41:23.280 bar for signatures is 10% of those people who voted in the last election, whatever that might be in

00:41:30.360 Saskatchewan, and extend the timeline over 120 days. That's your or else. That puts the feds on notice.

00:41:37.220 We're serious. And if you don't do this, you're dealing with an outraged Saskatchewan public with

00:41:44.140 a way out. Yeah. And who can easily band and join forces with Alberta, which even strengthens that

00:41:51.700 whole thing more than it already currently is. Yeah. And that's the thing. The dominoes will fall

00:41:57.980 if one goes. Saskatchewan, if Alberta leaves, and that's up to the people of Alberta to choose.

00:42:05.900 But do you think we're going to leave Saskatchewan behind? Do you think that they're going to stay

00:42:09.160 behind without us? Definitely not. Do you think the interior of BC would be happily left behind

00:42:16.580 when they are so, so Alberta? There's like, I could slide into merit and be perfectly happy for the rest of

00:42:25.140 my life there. And Northern BC with their gas, I mean, they operate as an extension of Grand Prairie,

00:42:32.260 Alberta up there. Do you think they're going to stay behind and allow themselves to be completely

00:42:38.300 governed by the crazies in Victoria? I doubt it. And the federal government should be aware that it's

00:42:46.960 not just Alberta exiting the place, because as was discussed in our town hall last night in Calgary,

00:42:53.380 it will be like the Eastern Bloc of the Soviet Union falling one after the other after the other.

00:43:00.360 Right. And well, it's Alberta and Saskatchewan that have the least representation on the federal level.

00:43:09.160 We have this piece here from the National Post. Carney's cabinet has more MPs from Brampton,

00:43:15.440 from one town or city, I should say, from one city, then from Alberta and Saskatchewan combined.

00:43:25.420 Yeah. So the MPs in Brampton fill the roles of President of the Treasury Board, Minister of

00:43:31.480 International Trade, and Secretary of State Combating Crime, which just continues to proliferate

00:43:39.520 all across Canada, but also especially in Brampton specifically. But the fact that the cabinet

00:43:45.440 has more MPs from one, you know, just kind of, I don't know if you'd consider Brampton the GTA,

00:43:51.760 but kind of basically greater Toronto area, has more MPs from one small area than two provinces

00:44:02.040 combined. It's just, that's crazy town to me.

00:44:05.920 Yeah. I mean, and we're the, we're the productive people. Like, this is the problem. And like,

00:44:11.100 everything that Carney is doing, I don't care what he's saying. He says a lot of garbage.

00:44:18.380 He says one thing in English, then in French sometimes. I don't care what he's saying. You

00:44:22.520 cannot believe a word he says, no matter what official language he says it is. I care what

00:44:29.640 he's doing. And this is a slap in the face to Alberta. That environment minister is a slap in

00:44:34.460 the face to Alberta. Natalie Provo, the Polly Sissouviant lady being put as the Secretary of

00:44:43.660 State for Nature, whatever that is, after going after real conservationists for the entirety of

00:44:50.300 her anti-gun lobbyist career, keeping Stephen Gilbeau in cabinet. These are all very tangible

00:44:58.780 things that he is doing to say, we don't care about you. It's, it's just one slap in the face

00:45:06.360 after the next. It seems like there's just, um, you know, one little hiccup you could say, okay,

00:45:12.440 well maybe that, you know, wasn't an intentional thing, but the more that you see and you read into

00:45:17.760 it, it's like, this is intentional. This is meant to say and show Alberta and, you know,

00:45:23.980 by extension Saskatchewan, um, that too bad, sorry, we're the Ottawa elites, we're the Laurentian elites

00:45:30.760 and we are going to rule over you whether you like it or not. Um, so this is very interesting

00:45:36.180 political times because there is a real movement growing and has been, um, to, for lack of a better

00:45:42.540 word, festering for a long time in the West. Um, that's, that has, you know, has potential to gain

00:45:50.180 real traction here. And the, the federal government has not taken any steps to make amends. They've

00:45:56.540 just further driven that wedge in that relationship with these, uh, with these choices and, um, and how

00:46:05.120 they continue to rule. Um, I do love the shut up read that they level at Albertans, right? They're

00:46:11.800 like, well, it'll just be too much work. Like it'll be too many things to figure out. It'll be too hard.

00:46:16.960 Even if you want to leave, what do you, you know, like, what are you going to do about this? Like,

00:46:22.880 but have they met in Albertan? Have they seen this place? It is a terrible forbidding place climate

00:46:28.960 wise. Um, and many of our grandparents and great grandparents and great great grandparents came

00:46:34.300 here with nothing and they turned this into an economic powerhouse while simultaneously protecting

00:46:41.800 nature and the natural beauty of this place. Do you think we're scared of a little hard work?

00:46:48.100 Have you seen what our industries are? Agriculture, oil and gas mining? Yeah. We're not scared of hard

00:46:54.460 work. Like I'm not scared of figuring out what to do with this bureaucracy or that pension plan. Like

00:47:00.620 that we're not, it's like, they don't even know who they're talking about when they say this stuff.

00:47:06.660 The idea, the paternalization, the continued paternalization of people by the federal government,

00:47:14.160 um, is getting really quite annoying because it's like, we, we can, we're, we don't need the nanny

00:47:21.300 state. We don't need our hands to be held. We can figure it out. Thank you very much. And goodbye.

00:47:25.500 Um, we have Robert Williamson gives a super chat here for 6 to 99. Thanks so much. Can rebel news

00:47:32.460 ever do a show on how many Canadians have already left or planning to leave Canada for good and become

00:47:39.000 expats in another country? Yeah. I mean, you can, uh, pull it up on the stats Canada website and you

00:47:45.780 can see, I don't know what the leg is. Um, you can do both like Canadians that have left the country.

00:47:52.360 Also the interprovincial, um, movement. So a lot of Ontarians have fled to Alberta and especially

00:47:59.880 during COVID, um, before Jason Kenney went turned crazy. Um, so you can see that I think it's up to

00:48:07.740 date up until, uh, at least the first quarter of 2024. Anyway, definitely. Yeah. Worth looking into

00:48:14.280 I've done it. I remember featuring a couple of reports. It was mostly around the arrive can

00:48:18.920 scam when people were not being allowed back into the country or left because they didn't want to

00:48:25.440 be, uh, restricted from traveling both within the country. And then, you know, obviously being

00:48:31.160 unable to leave the country. Um, and so I have talked about it before in other reports, but those were

00:48:36.960 probably 2021, 2022. So it's likely due for an update, but yeah, anyone can go onto the stats Canada

00:48:44.660 website and look up those stats for themselves because it is a big number. Yeah. It's like 93,000

00:48:52.120 Canadians left between or in 2022 and 2023. Um, and that went up from 2020, 2021, which was 66,000.

00:49:04.360 So that's a huge jump. That's like a 50% jump. Um, and actually the research found that 15% of

00:49:13.000 immigrants to Canada come and they're like, no, this is not what we signed up for. It's too expensive.

00:49:20.780 We got to go. And that's like, one of the things that they cite is just the unreal cost of living,

00:49:25.440 including housing taxes and other expenses. So. Yeah, definitely. There's, it's a lot,

00:49:32.080 there's a lot of that happening. And I think you're going to only see more and more of that

00:49:36.040 with the continued liberal rule. All right. Well, we have this ostrich update to bring you.

00:49:43.980 Can I tell you last night at the, uh, Sovereignist town hall, I don't know what to describe it as

00:49:50.120 because there's people from all sorts of different viewpoints. Um, but that's all people wanted to

00:49:55.020 talk to me about was the ostriches. And I'm like, I must tell you, I hate ostriches, but I hate

00:49:59.480 government over each more. And as a farmer, I don't like the state telling me what I can and can't do

00:50:04.740 with my livestock. I would be so angry and like viscerally outraged in a way I can't even describe

00:50:11.580 if they came along and told it's why I hate the wheat board, you know, cause they were telling us

00:50:16.660 where we could sell our products and to whom. Um, and so I'm so glad that that is no longer mandatory,

00:50:22.780 but, uh, it's for the same reasons. And so it was all people wanted to talk about last night is

00:50:29.360 the ostriches is Drea going to see the ostriches. And I had to assure them. Yes.

00:50:34.740 We've already sorted that out. She, as I was talking to them, she was well on her way to

00:50:39.460 the ostriches. Yeah. And these ostriches are healthy ostriches that are being used to study

00:50:45.640 and find, um, antibodies for the avian flu, right? So this is all being used as a fear tactic,

00:50:53.400 scaremongering about the bird flu and they're culling off livestock and chickens and other, um,

00:50:58.480 flock and fowl. And so these ostriches are actually being used in pivotal research and studies to

00:51:06.020 develop antibodies because they have robust immunity against the avian flu. One of their flock,

00:51:12.760 um, was sick and died. I think it was last year with the avian flu, but the other 400 are completely

00:51:20.520 healthy, totally fine. And yet the government's trying to come in and kill them all, which will,

00:51:26.240 of course, halt any of that research and development from continuing on. So this is very sneaky business

00:51:32.720 that's happening. And there's a lot of kind of, um, rabbit holes you can go down when looking at

00:51:38.880 this story, but Drea has been on this beat since the very start. This has been, you know, a few months,

00:51:44.120 several months now, and it's kind of coming to a head now that the CFIA, the judge just ruled in

00:51:51.380 favor to have the flock called. And so if you want to see Drea's work and support it, because she's

00:51:58.380 just made, I think it was a nine hour trek to this farm in British Columbia. Um, you can do that at

00:52:04.660 save the ostriches.com. And she has Drea's just taken to X. She's posted an update where she,

00:52:12.280 I think paused in her travels because she's had to take a few different modes to finally get to her

00:52:17.760 destination. So it's a four minute clip. Maybe we won't play all of it, but I think we should play

00:52:21.660 some of it because I don't know. She's put the little ostriches. She thinks they're cute. I would,

00:52:26.700 um, you know, I think that's up for debate, but, uh, she's put the ostriches in the corner of this

00:52:31.800 video. It's just, it's so funny. Yeah, it's great. Drea Humphrey here with rebel news, May 15th,

00:52:39.100 early morning. I am two hours away from universal ostrich farms in Edgewood, BC. I drove through

00:52:47.220 the night to get out here and I got some shed eye at my in-laws. Um, it's a nine hour trek. Why,

00:52:54.660 why is it important that rebel news is there? Well, many of you know that we don't know hours,

00:53:00.660 days, minutes, uh, a week, the Canadian food inspection agencies kill order will be fulfilled

00:53:10.020 unless some miracle stops that. And that is the order to kill 400 healthy prehistoric exotic

00:53:19.040 ostriches in the name of protecting public health from the avian flu. But as many of you know,

00:53:25.180 from following my reports that save the ostriches.com, you know, that makes no sense.

00:53:30.660 Because they're eggs with their robust antibodies. Well, they're being used in partnership with the

00:53:39.680 United States, a university in Japan and Canada to come up with a defense research against the

00:53:48.540 avian flu so that flocks like them don't have to die. You know, nearly 9 million birds have been

00:53:54.620 called in the name of avian flu since 2022 in British Columbia alone. You would think Canada

00:54:00.080 would maybe want that type of research to live on, especially since the initial call order was

00:54:05.840 from back in December. And here we are in mid May. But of course, the only logic that makes sense,

00:54:12.600 I guess, is that Moderna with its 500 million dollars, it just got granted, um, to come up with a

00:54:19.640 MRNA avian flu jab. Well, that's what makes the most sense. Let's go ahead and kill these healthy

00:54:27.560 birds. Now, I'm going to hop back into the car. And I'm going to show you what happens because

00:54:32.700 this is an injustice. And it shouldn't be done in the dark. The whole world should see what is about

00:54:40.900 to go down in this country. And I recently interviewed right after they got the news that

00:54:48.280 the federal court sided with the CFIA. After looking through the evidence, I interviewed Katie

00:54:55.160 Pacinney. She grew up with these birds. They can live for like 75 years, I think. They live a long

00:55:02.840 time. They're 300 pounds. And they can run 70 kilometers per hour. And what is that going to look

00:55:09.880 like? Of course, she didn't want to talk about it. But she described, you know, if one gets shot in the

00:55:15.380 head, the rest will scatter. This sounds absolutely horrific, especially since it didn't need to

00:55:22.220 happen. So I'm going to show you what does happen. But also, there's been a call to action by the

00:55:28.060 farmers. And so as I'm standing here, I've heard there's about 40 people already there gathering. So who

00:55:35.100 knows what is about to go down, but you can follow along at SaveTheOstriches.com. And please, if you

00:55:42.240 value our journalism, just like at the trucker convoy, where we showed you with live streams, so they

00:55:48.480 couldn't, you know, effectively lie, the truth was out there. If you value that we get our boots on the

00:55:54.600 ground, I don't know how long I'm going to be out there. I've arranged some childcare, I brought some

00:55:59.220 pepperoni and cheese and boiled eggs with me. And like I said, I stayed at my in-laws, which cut down

00:56:05.080 on cost, but I am going to have to rent accommodations or sorry, stay at a hotel or motel or lodge. And

00:56:12.000 there's not much in the area. So there, of course, was the nine hour drive here and my commute. If you

00:56:19.660 really do value our reports, you trust our reports, please consider chipping in to cover the travel

00:56:27.120 expenses involved for me to be there by going to SaveTheOstriches.com. And I've also set up a very

00:56:33.980 quick one click email where you can fire off saying, Hey, stop this. Don't go through with this to the

00:56:40.340 CFIA and other officials on that site as well. So that's two things. Please chip in to cover our travel

00:56:46.540 expenses and please take action at SaveTheOstriches.com. I'll see you soon. Well, that was a great four

00:56:55.000 minute summary of exactly what is happening with these ostriches. Funny looking birds, really

00:57:03.400 unsettling to think about how that will act, like what that takedown will actually look like. So we'll

00:57:10.820 see if Drea does capture it during her travels there. But yeah, they can run fast. So they will be

00:57:19.280 trying to escape, I would imagine, as soon as anything like that goes down. So we'll see you

00:57:24.640 can follow along at that website and support Drea in her journey. And of course, follow her on X,

00:57:30.280 where she will also be posting those updates. So crazy times, what a time to be alive. Every time I say

00:57:36.600 like, Oh, it can't get any crazier. Here we are calling 400 healthy ostriches.

00:57:41.800 Honestly, I'm worried about Drea. Because if she's there, she's got a real

00:57:46.200 soft heart for animals. Like, you know, I know a lot of the things I eat personally,

00:57:54.300 you know, like I met them. And so I think I have a different, a more farmery mindset about this sort

00:58:05.540 of stuff. But these are somebody's creatures. These are somebody's property, even if you don't

00:58:12.840 feel for them as ostriches, this belongs to somebody. Actually, I did the numbers on the low

00:58:19.300 end. This is $500,000 worth of livestock. Wow, that the CFIA is just going to cull for no good reason.

00:58:27.660 And as a farmer, I think if they can do it to these birds for some pandemic, wait till we get

00:58:33.620 Nate Erskine Smith's next version of the pandemic legislation, the vegan bill, and what are they

00:58:42.000 going to do then? Right? This, this cannot stand. And as Drea said, even if it happens, and what a

00:58:49.320 horror it would be if it did, it should not be done in the darkness, everybody should know. And I can

00:58:53.400 like, I googled the drive from my place to Edgewood. And it only would have been an hour longer than

00:59:01.260 Drea's drive. Like that's how secluded this is. This place is not a pandemic vector by any stretch

00:59:07.540 of the imagination. Right. And it's just so funny to funny, sad, odd to contrast how the government

00:59:16.780 is treating these 400 healthy ostriches versus the report that David Menzies just put out last night

00:59:24.060 about these coyotes in downtown urban city center Toronto. It took officials months to decide to

00:59:36.900 eventually euthanize. I think it was two coyotes who had been terrorizing the area, killing pets

00:59:45.880 for months. Yeah, they brought in all kinds of experts to study them. And I'm like, they're coyotes.

00:59:54.060 They are an invasive species. They're not endangered. Yes, they look like dogs, but they don't behave like

01:00:00.620 Fido, generally speaking. They can, the closer they are to people, the more use they get to people,

01:00:08.640 which means the more bold they get. And these things are in downtown Toronto. They brought in,

01:00:14.020 like, what was there to study? Like, I would have come in, you could have paid me 100 bucks. I would

01:00:21.820 have looked around and said, you know what, bring in the hunters. We got to get rid of them. But this

01:00:27.980 probably costs like $500,000 to study it to figure out that, yeah, you do have to call them. The care

01:00:34.420 that they spent on these coyotes offends me. Oh, yeah. Spending months of consultancy fees and

01:00:41.740 environmental studies and impact this. And, and they launched. So this is David's report is coyotes run

01:00:49.580 rampant in Toronto neighborhood, as city urges cohabitation. And so basically, they launched a PR

01:00:56.700 public relations campaign, telling residents that coyotes are their neighbors, right? Where have we

01:01:02.640 heard this before with, oh, don't worry about we're all we're all neighbors. This is this is the

01:01:09.280 language that I hear so much with the drug addicts, right? And the people who are engaging in open air

01:01:17.880 drug use on our streets, and then the crime that results from trying to fuel and funnel their

01:01:23.800 addiction. It's like, oh, these are our neighbors. And oh, be kind to your neighbors. It's like these

01:01:29.660 people are wreaking havoc on our communities. And you're just telling us to be, you know, oh,

01:01:35.260 neighborly love. So it was like kind of that same verbiage being used with these coyotes,

01:01:41.740 right? They're wreaking havoc on the local community, killing pets, and causing $7,000

01:01:47.740 in vet bills for these people at this dog park. And they're told it's like gaslighting just to the

01:01:56.020 extreme, right? Oh, they're just they're your neighbors. And it's actually all our fault because

01:02:00.440 of urban sprawl. Well, and they can spread diseases, too. Like, let's not forget that they're in the dog

01:02:05.780 park. They can spread diseases. They're not endangered creatures. And I realized people are

01:02:11.960 like, oh, they're, they look like a dog. So they're, you know, like, they're just like my dog. I promise

01:02:16.800 you, they're not. They're not. And at the end of the day, it's the coyotes or your dog and cat.

01:02:26.120 And so that's what it comes down to. It's a, you know, would you kill baby Hitler? I guess this is

01:02:35.580 the question, because they're gonna do something bad. Like they just are when they're in proximity

01:02:41.000 with people, and it only gets worse. And so like, how many pets are they supposed to snatch?

01:02:48.300 Well, and finally, after, like we said, after months of consultants, and PR campaigns, and the

01:02:55.580 money, the city of Toronto finally took steps to ensure public safety and Liberty Village and Fort

01:03:02.840 York. And I would have done it for free. I would have done some next time. Let me know. I'll come

01:03:09.240 and do it for free. I won't charge you for my consultancy fees. I'll just come I'll deal with

01:03:13.600 your coyotes. I'll go home. They say, following a continuous, a continuation of escalated interactions

01:03:21.560 with coyotes, like the language that they're using with this is so absurd and crazy to me.

01:03:28.800 Like foxes, raccoons and deer, coyotes are a natural part of Toronto's urban landscape,

01:03:35.680 coexisting with residents largely without issue. I mean, and it goes on. So they say here, this is

01:03:43.040 from the city of Toronto, their press release, the city undertook a thoughtful and thorough

01:03:47.280 three part review over several months, included staff regularly monitoring the situation using

01:03:56.360 aversion techniques on coyotes, enforcing bylaws. So like the coyotes, they care about the bylaws,

01:04:03.880 right? Get out of here, or else you're going to be fine. You're trespassed.

01:04:09.380 And educating residents on how to keep themselves and their pets safe. You'll see David Menzies in

01:04:16.200 his video, one woman describes these like coyote coats that they're buying for their animals have

01:04:22.100 spikes on them. So if a coyote comes and tries to grab them, like this is it, this is insane.

01:04:28.000 They also hired an independent third party expert panel to review the city's response and recommend

01:04:34.340 next steps. And then they engaged two coyote expert companies to assess the four. I can't,

01:04:42.000 like, I can't even get through this because it's so absurd. I'm in the wrong business.

01:04:46.380 Oh my gosh. So after all of this, several months, three part review, tons of staff,

01:04:51.620 multiple consultants, they euthanized the coyotes because it didn't, nothing else was working.

01:04:57.040 Um, that is the city of Toronto for you folks. I'd love to know how much was, was spent on this in

01:05:03.440 total. This feels like close to a million dollars. I can't even believe it. A coyote consultants.

01:05:11.820 I never even thought of that as a career, but I could do, I could do it. You know,

01:05:15.800 the city of Edmonton, this is not a Toronto problem. The city of Edmonton, which does have

01:05:21.720 more green space. And, uh, I think the largest river Valley park space in North America. Um,

01:05:28.540 they of course naturally have a coyote problem. And when we have fires, the wildlife follow the

01:05:34.080 river Valley. Right. And so they pop up, you know, like sometimes you'll have a cougar on the golf

01:05:39.120 course in Fort Saskatchewan. Um, and so a couple of years ago, that real coyote problem. And so they

01:05:44.900 had the city was paying people to walk around and throw tennis balls at the coyotes. And I'm like,

01:05:52.360 are you trying to play fetch with them? What is wrong with you people? And other people were

01:05:56.600 walking around shaking cans of pennies. And I'm like, you're just teaching them not to be scared

01:06:01.420 of you. You realize that you're making this worse. Uh, but no, nobody ever hired me as a coyote

01:06:07.300 consultant. No. And I mean, where are the ostrich consultants? Where are the ostrich company

01:06:12.940 experts? Where like, have they taken these kinds of steps to mitigate the attack on the neighbor

01:06:20.820 ostrich, the neighboring ostriches? I mean, look at the difference between the way that these,

01:06:26.420 these two different animals were treated by government officials, um, valuable research animal

01:06:34.240 owned by somebody actually owned by a human being. So it's their property too, but also a valuable

01:06:42.180 research, uh, animal. And the other is a random vermin living in this and just living rough random

01:06:52.920 vermin. Yeah. Living rough, sleeping rough. Next thing we know, we're going to be giving them some,

01:07:00.840 uh, tents to live in. Nana Awake gives us $10. Thank you so much. I'm tired of this unethical

01:07:07.840 government covering their attack against us under the guise of for the greater good. It's solely for

01:07:13.480 the protection of good of, uh, typo here, big pharma. And Nana, we gave another $5 just to make

01:07:20.540 sure that we saw her typo big pharma. Yeah. The greater good. Um, yeah, there's a lot of things

01:07:27.360 going on with the greater good that, uh, I'm seeing both like in my reporting life, but also

01:07:32.520 my personal life. And, um, it's really concerning and disturbing, uh, how easily and readily the

01:07:39.980 individual will be thrown under the bus to serve that greater good. And, uh, this is the inherent

01:07:47.120 problem with collectivist mindsets, which, uh, seem to be alive and well in the bureaucracy

01:07:53.660 government, big pharma. You know, I'm glad you mentioned, uh, we'll just touch on this real quick,

01:07:58.660 uh, before I run out of energy and brain power. Um, we talk about throwing people under the bus for

01:08:05.620 the greater good. The police are investigating whether an officer leaked a provincial document

01:08:09.920 that showed BC is downplaying safer supply risks. So the police are going on a witch hunt

01:08:16.940 to find out who leaked a provincial document, which shows that, uh, their safe supply

01:08:26.520 experiment, which has been going on a better part of a generation is killing people. It's a failure.

01:08:34.060 It's a taxpayer funded, slow suicide. Um, an officer, perhaps maybe, I don't know,

01:08:42.440 leaked a provincial document, which showed that, uh, people are dying thanks to the BC government's

01:08:47.660 policy on this. And instead of saying, uh, we've got a problem on our hands here, people are dying

01:08:54.300 and we're not doing the job that we're supposed to do. Our bad policies are killing people.

01:08:59.460 They're looking for the officer who told the truth, the whistleblower.

01:09:03.720 Of course. Of course. We have to protect the, uh, interests of the drug addicts

01:09:09.460 and the people who are funding that drug use. So yeah, there's the greater good alive and well for you.

01:09:19.340 Yeah. Um, I think so. I think we've hit all of our headline topics. We will just end here on

01:09:25.040 our daily dose of cringe. Yeah. It comes out of Alberta, the Alberta NDP. I haven't seen this,

01:09:32.660 but I know the Alberta NDP. I wrote two books about them. They're bad. They're goofy. They're

01:09:37.880 embarrassing. They are the fringe minority in this province. And, uh, apparently they're mad because

01:09:44.700 they had to stay late and work last night. The Alberta legislature sits like one of the,

01:09:51.900 uh, like the least amount of times of, I think all the legislatures in the country. And normally

01:09:58.040 I'm happy about that when politic politicians are working, they're wasting your money. So I'm like,

01:10:02.040 get out of there. Just go, go back to your constituencies. But the Alberta government is

01:10:07.440 trying to pass changes to the citizen led initiative act, which lowered the bar and extended the time.

01:10:12.220 And, uh, the NDP were real mad about having to work for their money. Um, and so, uh, I'm already

01:10:20.840 embarrassed and I haven't even seen this yet. Um, let's watch together. We're all gathered here

01:10:28.080 because the UCP just destroyed healthcare. UCP is limiting the debate. They're not even letting the

01:10:34.340 public know what's going on. It's atrocious. The bills they've ran through tonight, very big consequences

01:10:40.100 for all Albertans. They're enabling a separatist referendum and pushing it through the house.

01:10:46.780 For First Nations, they haven't included any consultation on the medicine chess clause.

01:10:50.980 Abhorrent. They're destroying democracy in there right now. They're going to make it almost

01:10:56.260 impossible for Albertans to vote in elections. It's devastating that they limited debate on

01:11:01.600 healthcare. And I'm worried about the future of my children. Better is possible, but this is a

01:11:06.900 pretty low place to start. We are all here to defend democracy in this province because with bill 54,

01:11:15.220 UCP is destroying the democracy in this province. The UCP is weak, weak, and weak.

01:11:24.500 Powerful. UCP is limiting debate on bill 55, uh, which is taking private healthcare,

01:11:29.780 and that's going to make it difficult for women to access healthcare. We know their bills are bad and

01:11:36.260 anti-democratic, but when they limit debate, they're really, really, really bad, and they've done that.

01:11:43.140 They brought in these bills only about a week ago. They're working to privatize healthcare,

01:11:47.700 and it's going to mean that things get more expensive for ordinary Albertans,

01:11:51.140 and healthcare gets worse for everybody.

01:11:56.500 They're destroying democracy.

01:11:59.060 Albertans will not let UCP move with divisive politics and dismantle our public healthcare.

01:12:07.460 This government just has weak leadership and they're running away from Albertans because

01:12:10.340 they know what they're doing. It's wrong.

01:12:11.620 Okay, so I should tell you what they're complaining about. They're complaining about

01:12:18.020 bill 55 and then the amendments to the citizen-led initiative act. They keep saying that they're

01:12:22.980 privatizing healthcare. I'm scared. I'm scared for our kids. I'm scared. Uh, this is what it is. Uh,

01:12:29.860 it's amendments to the provincial health agencies act, the public health act, and the protections of

01:12:34.580 person and care act. Uh, they're updating the oversight and governance of health foundations,

01:12:40.580 ensuring hospital governance aligns with the healthcare system, refocusing, uh, direction,

01:12:45.860 reorganizing the governance and planning for public health services and repealing references to regional

01:12:52.020 health authorities, health region, and Alberta health services in legislation after AHS functions

01:12:57.460 and responsibilities are, uh, turned over to the local health authority and transitioned to other

01:13:03.940 entities. So what they're doing is dismantling, uh, the power and influence of Alberta health

01:13:09.940 services, which, uh, is bloated. And if the NDP keep telling me that we have a healthcare crisis in

01:13:17.220 this province, surely it falls at the feet of the people who are tasked with running the system,

01:13:22.500 that is Alberta health services. And so, uh, they're just hyperbolic lunatics and it's just embarrassing

01:13:28.820 because they actually never tell you what's happening, right? They just tell you democracy

01:13:32.820 is falling apart and we're all going to have American style healthcare. I'm like, okay,

01:13:38.100 I wish. Um, but, uh, that's not at all what was happening. They're just basically

01:13:43.860 gutting the responsibilities of Alberta health services and it can happen to a nicer bunch.

01:13:48.020 Yeah. The inflammatory language is, uh, I think that, you know, it speaks for itself at this

01:13:53.540 point. Like there's really no substance there. It's just inflame, inflame, inflame and prey on

01:13:58.100 emotions and hope that people take what you're saying seriously because this otherwise was not

01:14:03.220 a serious video in my opinion, which is why it's the daily dose of cringe. All that was missing was

01:14:09.220 dancing nurses during COVID. That would have been like the final goodbye. It's just the dancing nurses

01:14:15.940 telling us how strained the healthcare system is. Yeah. We're so busy. Look at us dancing.

01:14:20.980 We had time to perfect our routine. People are dying. We would have you believe

01:14:25.300 while we do our little Tik TOK dance. Yeah. All right. It looks like we're all out of chats

01:14:31.380 and we hit the headliners and then our daily dose of cringe. So that's great. Thanks everybody

01:14:37.460 at home who chipped in, who joined us, who watched, shared, subscribed, whatever you do.

01:14:42.260 Um, follow Drea, save the ostriches.com. So you'd get updates on what is happening there in BC,

01:14:48.180 because it's a real time fast moving situation. Um, and then two rebels will be back here. I think

01:14:55.300 Sheila and David tomorrow, I think same time, one to 2 PM Eastern, uh, depending on where you're

01:15:01.300 located for the Friday rebel roundup wrap up day. Thanks to Olivia and all of our rebel staff in the

01:15:10.660 background who make sure that this runs smoothly and gets out to you, the viewers, and we will see

01:15:16.580 you same time and place tomorrow. Thanks everybody. Take care till then.

01:15:21.220 Do you agree with me? It is time to make Canada great again. And that is why we at Rebel News have

01:15:28.660 teamed up with MCGA hats to introduce, well, the fashion sensation of 2025. Oh, and by the way,

01:15:39.140 these beautiful hats, they are made in Canada. We don't rely on cheap imports coming over from China. So

01:15:48.020 what are you waiting for folks? Show your pride. This is the perfect thing for a Patriot to wear,

01:15:54.820 or maybe there's a Patriot in your life that you would like to gift such a hat. Please go to
