Rebel News Podcast - REBEL ROUNDUP ｜ Conservatives want immigration minister out, Ford on Poilievre, Castle Law update

00:00:00.000 Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, depending on which part of this, I was going

00:00:19.900 to say beautiful country that you're in, but I don't think I should say that anymore.

00:00:23.460 I mean, it is topographically beautiful, but I think I'm just nostalgic for the way that

00:00:29.380 things used to be.

00:00:30.360 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:00:31.340 You're watching Rebel Roundup.

00:00:33.380 It's our daily news and opinion show, and I'm joined today by my Thursday co-host, my

00:00:37.900 friend, my colleague, my rock when I'm on this onerous book tour, Tamara Ugolini.

00:00:44.520 How's it going?

00:00:45.640 Yeah, pretty good, Sheila.

00:00:46.460 We have some great news today, so I'm really eager to get into that, but how are you doing

00:00:51.280 over there?

00:00:51.600 I know you're, as you mentioned, crazy, running every which way, trying to A, fulfill your work

00:00:57.000 requirements, and B, fulfill your side work requirements of this book launch.

00:01:01.840 Yeah, it's really busy, but the weather's nice, and I'm always excited to meet Rebel supporters,

00:01:09.420 but also people who are skeptics of independence.

00:01:12.800 I invite those people to come to our independence tour stops.

00:01:17.720 We've got three sort of in the southern half of the province, got Calgary tonight, then Medicine

00:01:22.720 Hat the next night, and then Lethbridge the next night.

00:01:25.020 And then we have a couple of days off, which aren't really days off, they're just where

00:01:28.760 you get back to the rest of your work.

00:01:30.240 And then from there, we head to northern Alberta.

00:01:33.060 If you'd like more information, go to independencetour.com, but you'll see myself and Tamara Leach and

00:01:41.000 Corey Morgan from the Western Standard there, and we all have our books.

00:01:44.980 So Tamara's got Hold the Line, her book about her experience during the convoy.

00:01:48.660 I've got my brand new book called Independence Blueprint, What Alberta Can Learn from Quebec.

00:01:53.660 And Corey Morgan is there with his Sovereignist Handbook.

00:01:58.840 And also, if you'd like my book, you can go to independenceblueprint.com or on Amazon.

00:02:04.360 So that's it.

00:02:05.760 I'll tell everybody what we're doing real quick, and then you've got some good Doug Ford,

00:02:10.060 which is rare, so we should most definitely talk about it.

00:02:13.200 If you're watching us on Rumble, you can support the work that we do and get involved in the show

00:02:18.400 by leaving a Rumble rant.

00:02:20.180 That's your paid chat over there.

00:02:23.360 And we ask you for the support because we don't take any money from the government to do the work

00:02:28.060 that we do, and how could we ever be truly independent if we did that?

00:02:32.220 Now, if you leave us a Rumble rant, it's over the $5 U.S. cutoff.

00:02:36.940 We're reading it on air.

00:02:38.100 If it's under that, we'll do our best, time permitting.

00:02:40.500 But as I just mentioned, I've got to zip out the door.

00:02:44.260 Viewers at home, please remind me to take this flag when I go because we don't have any flags at our event.

00:02:50.500 And if you're watching us on YouTube, the paid chat over there is called A Super Chat.

00:02:58.040 Or if you missed a live version of the show but you really want to support our work, thank you so much,

00:03:02.840 you can leave a paid comment called A Super Thanks.

00:03:05.100 So that's it.

00:03:06.860 Tamara, tell us about a stopped clock being right twice a day.

00:03:11.900 Yeah, that's exactly it when it comes to flip-flop Ford, Ontario Premier.

00:03:16.860 So first and foremost, breaking news just today that all charges have been dropped for that Lindsay dad,

00:03:25.100 remember the Lindsay homeowner, who was the victim of an armed intruder

00:03:30.200 during a 3 a.m. home invasion back in August.

00:03:35.760 Jeremy McDonald has had all charges against him for defending himself and his home

00:03:42.240 against this intruder armed with a crossbow just today.

00:03:46.120 But this is, you know, it comes after months of outrage and politicians weighing in heavily on this topic

00:03:56.020 and what happened there and the homeowners' rights and ability to defend their castle,

00:04:02.300 as it's called castle law in the U.S., which we don't have here in Canada,

00:04:06.160 but rather the Crown relies on self-defense legislation.

00:04:09.720 And so that's what saved Jeremy McDonald in this case,

00:04:13.780 where all the charges against him were dropped because this was an obvious act of self-defense.

00:04:19.720 I suppose it just took the better part of, what, seven, eight months to figure it out.

00:04:24.580 With hefty legal fees and costs, I must say, which we crowdfunded for Jeremy at savejeremy.com.

00:04:33.340 So if you want to stay up to date, if you're not sure what I'm talking about,

00:04:36.460 if you want to see the previous reports that David Menzies had done on the file,

00:04:40.960 he went up to Lindsay right after the attack and invasion,

00:04:46.360 did some street reporting there and found details that otherwise the public would not have been privy to.

00:04:51.940 So we crowdfunded his legal defense.

00:04:55.240 Successful, massive victory today for Jeremy McDonald at savejeremy.com.

00:05:01.360 And we have this great clip of Doug Ford being asked about this this morning,

00:05:06.520 where, as Sheila, you mentioned, a broken clock is right twice a day.

00:05:10.620 And he really doubles down.

00:05:13.100 And this was something he said kind of from the onset.

00:05:15.660 So it's unsurprising that this is still,

00:05:17.580 well, I guess it is surprising that this is still his stance

00:05:20.200 because he is known as flip-flop Ford.

00:05:22.540 But this was one topic where he stayed unwavering.

00:05:26.400 And he was like, you know, if you intrude into someone's house,

00:05:28.840 if you come as an armed invader,

00:05:31.320 this is what any reasonable person would do.

00:05:34.080 They would defend themselves and take any measures available to them to do that.

00:05:39.180 He references there was another really horrific case.

00:05:42.420 I believe it was in Mississauga where the father tried to, I think, acquiesce and compromise with an intruder.

00:05:53.300 And he ended up being killed in front of his family.

00:05:56.700 So that's, you know, the thing that you're up against when you're faced with a fight-or-flight dire 3 a.m. wake-up call

00:06:07.760 to someone armed in your home.

00:06:10.280 We know police response times are anywhere from immediately to 90 minutes.

00:06:14.900 Never.

00:06:15.680 Or never.

00:06:16.280 So it's really sadly becoming this unchartered territory where it's every man for himself in the middle of the night,

00:06:24.320 especially if you're rural at Lindsay.

00:06:26.480 They have, I believe they have their own policing.

00:06:28.620 I don't believe it's OPP.

00:06:29.900 I think there is a Lindsay Police Service.

00:06:31.400 I'll have to double-check that.

00:06:32.700 But it is fairly rural.

00:06:35.460 And although Jeremy did, from what I understand, live downtown,

00:06:40.320 I'm not even sure how long it took the police to get there.

00:06:42.700 But there's instances where, yeah, they never show up or it's 24 hours later in that one situation in British Columbia.

00:06:49.440 So the whole thing is just a mess.

00:06:51.360 But let's show this clip.

00:06:52.860 Well, and just before we show the clip, if there's an armed intruder in your home,

00:06:57.960 whatever the police response time is, is too long.

00:07:01.600 Yeah.

00:07:02.180 Right?

00:07:02.640 Like, it doesn't matter if it's 8 minutes or 80 minutes.

00:07:07.020 If there's an armed intruder in your home, you should be able to defend your own life.

00:07:11.720 I have a criticism of Doug Ford, but I'll save it for after because let's just give him this win.

00:07:18.400 But then I'll, okay, let's just watch.

00:07:21.900 The assault charges against the Lindsay homeowner were dropped this morning.

00:07:26.520 That was the case where you said something was broken with the system.

00:07:30.400 Yeah.

00:07:31.060 I'm wondering if you think that the system actually worked

00:07:33.720 or if you think the police need to think twice before laying charges in the first place.

00:07:39.640 Well, if what I understand, if the guy breaks into your house and he has a crossbow ready to kill you,

00:07:46.000 it's free game.

00:07:47.360 You protect your life.

00:07:48.320 You protect your family.

00:07:49.440 And there isn't one person anywhere in Ontario anywhere that if someone's breaking in your house

00:07:54.680 and they're going to harm your children, harm your spouse, 0.90

00:07:59.500 then, and I don't think they had children in the room to be fair to that,

00:08:04.220 but you're protecting your property.

00:08:06.360 Guys, if you break into someone's home, you need to pay the price.

00:08:10.620 I'll tell you, anyone breaks into my home, it's going to be a bad day for them.

00:08:14.020 Real, real bad day.

00:08:15.060 And every person in here will fight for their lives to protect their home and their families.

00:08:22.920 And unfortunately, one man did that, protect his little four-year-old,

00:08:27.800 and that dirty scumbag shot him to death in front of his kids. 1.00

00:08:31.520 That guy needs to go to jail for the rest of his life,

00:08:34.480 put him in a hole somewhere for the next hundred years.

00:08:37.640 Those four little kids watching their dad get executed in front of his wife and his four kids,

00:08:43.860 it's disgusting.

00:08:47.020 Absolutely disgusting.

00:08:48.380 And we have to start making sure these people stay in jail.

00:08:52.400 Not going out, going out for bail once, twice, three times, four times, five times.

00:08:57.860 They make a mockery of our justice system.

00:09:01.600 That's what they're doing.

00:09:03.040 Anyways, this is supposed to be a good news story.

00:09:04.920 Sorry for ranting.

00:09:05.580 Let's get back to Ontario Science Centre and Ontario Place.

00:09:10.580 Thanks for getting me going, buddy.

00:09:12.040 I appreciate that, Lee.

00:09:13.860 Oh, Ford.

00:09:16.200 It was your own doing that gets you going.

00:09:19.860 You know, everything he said there is right.

00:09:23.720 You should be able to defend your own life, whether it's in your home or on the street, by the way.

00:09:28.880 But it was Doug Ford's Crown Prosecution Service that laid this charge.

00:09:32.360 And when he says there's something broken with the system, pardon me, Doug Ford, but you're the system.

00:09:41.620 You could fix this quite easily.

00:09:43.060 In fact, in Alberta, Danielle Smith says that we are not going to prosecute people and put them through the ringer just to have the charges dropped if you are defending your life in your own home.

00:09:55.300 She said, don't break into people's homes if you don't want to get shot.

00:09:58.600 That's what she said.

00:09:59.740 So there are things that Doug Ford could do other than complain about the system.

00:10:05.400 He's the system.

00:10:06.960 You could do something about it.

00:10:08.520 And thank goodness that people at home decided to help this man, Jeremy McDonald, because the process is the punishment.

00:10:17.520 Thousands of dollars in legal fees, the stress, the reputational harm after you've been charged with, what, manslaughter?

00:10:27.000 That should never have happened to this man.

00:10:29.080 And if there's a time to fix this, Doug Ford, instead of getting angry at the podium, do something about it.

00:10:37.280 Say that you're not going to prosecute people who are saving their own lives and the lives of their families inside of their homes.

00:10:43.780 Yeah.

00:10:44.340 And the bail reform issue, I mean, this guy was someone who had a rap sheet.

00:10:49.440 He was known to police, previous convictions.

00:10:52.180 I think he was out on bail, actually.

00:10:55.320 No surprise there.

00:10:56.340 Yeah, really unsurprising at this point.

00:10:59.780 So that is a major, a massive issue in Canada where you just have these repeat violent offenders out on the street just ready to commit again because there is no repercussion.

00:11:14.800 There's no consequence.

00:11:16.620 And that's learned pretty, you know, that's learned after your first release.

00:11:20.680 Hey, I just skirted the system.

00:11:23.460 I can get away with this stuff.

00:11:24.860 And, you know, sadly, we've been told that masculinity is toxic.

00:11:31.360 So I think a lot of these offenders have become so brazen that they don't expect anyone to actually defend themselves anymore.

00:11:39.240 And here you're faced with a man who stood up and responded in a masculine way and said, no, I'm not going to lay down here.

00:11:50.000 And this was the result.

00:11:52.980 But I think that, yeah, the process is absolutely the punishment.

00:11:55.860 But this is absolutely a victory for self-defense and for Jeremy McDonald.

00:12:01.820 So all the power to him as he moves forward in his life.

00:12:05.800 You know, I'm sure a situation like this comes with massive psychological repercussions.

00:12:09.860 I mean, your home is supposed to be like, like the law says, the castle law in the United States.

00:12:14.780 It's your castle.

00:12:15.740 It's your safe haven.

00:12:17.420 It's your sanctuary.

00:12:19.180 And to have that breached, that is so highly disconcerting.

00:12:25.380 I don't know how you would come back from something like that.

00:12:28.240 Yeah.

00:12:28.840 Yeah.

00:12:29.120 And the thing at the time, too, remember, it was all about reasonableness.

00:12:33.280 Did he respond in a way that was reasonable?

00:12:36.520 And I can tell you that if I'm awoken at 3 a.m. by someone armed with a crossbow, you're not thinking, oh, is my response going to be reasonable in the eyes of a liberal appointed judge two years from now?

00:12:50.600 Like, you're literally fight or flight.

00:12:53.140 Yeah.

00:12:53.700 Yeah.

00:12:53.920 They're going to get a broad head in their gut if they come into my house.

00:12:59.980 Yeah.

00:13:00.520 And, you know, we've got criminals assuming that Canadians are all but disarmed.

00:13:03.920 And if the liberals had their way, we would be.

00:13:06.400 Let's move ahead away from this victory into the conservative reaction to their colleague, formerly, Judas Genereau.

00:13:19.220 I've been calling him Matt Genereau for accompanying Prime Minister Carney on an 11-day junket to India.

00:13:26.680 Isn't that something?

00:13:28.060 Don't show up to work for four months.

00:13:31.680 Don't vote.

00:13:33.600 Don't even go to your constituency office.

00:13:36.040 And then cross the floor and you're rewarded with an obvious attempt to keep you out of the House of Commons because your colleagues are going to just, former colleagues, are going to rip you a new one on the House floor with some tough questions.

00:13:50.120 So, conservative MP from Alberta, this is James.

00:13:53.180 Is James Bazan from Alberta?

00:13:54.920 Maybe he's Manitoba. 0.69

00:13:55.680 He's, he was asked about it and he had some, I mean, he called it for what it is.

00:14:04.140 Mr. Genereau, who crossed the floor last week, is on the Prime Minister's trip to India, Australia, and Japan.

00:14:10.020 Do you have any thoughts on that?

00:14:11.420 Look, I'd just say that for a guy that hasn't showed up for work for the last few months, nice to get a junket from the Prime Minister, pay back for crossing the floor.

00:14:21.260 Completely.

00:14:21.800 Yeah.

00:14:22.840 Yep.

00:14:24.340 If people want to sign my petition calling on Matt Genereau to do the right thing, which I'm skeptical because you wouldn't cross the floor.

00:14:32.120 But more than anything, I want to give voice to the people of Edmonton River, and you can sign it at firematt.com.

00:14:38.000 Also, I've got little schemes and plots against Matt Genereau.

00:14:42.200 Like, for example, I had the billboard truck out against him in his riding.

00:14:45.800 I encountered a liberal boomer in the wild.

00:14:47.520 That was quite jarring.

00:14:48.380 But if you want to donate to my next scheme, plot, campaign, and attempt to undermine Matt Genereau, you can donate at that same website, firematt.com.

00:14:59.660 Sorry, Olivia, how many people have signed that petition?

00:15:02.280 It's like 23,000, 22,000?

00:15:04.940 23,531.

00:15:09.280 Let's get it up to 25,000 before the end of the day.

00:15:12.740 Please, thanks.

00:15:15.720 Yeah, that video did really well.

00:15:17.480 I was shocked to see a boomer in the wild, especially in Alberta, of all places.

00:15:23.460 And a conservative stronghold, nonetheless.

00:15:26.600 I mean, most of Alberta is, but that riding in particular was held by, what, Matt Genereau for two, three decades?

00:15:34.820 No, so since 2015.

00:15:36.680 So the riding was created in 2015, he was voted in in 2015, so 11 years he's been there as the conservative member.

00:15:44.900 And they've been electing him over and over again, and he crossed the floor, and boy, people were mad at him.

00:15:52.900 As they should be.

00:15:54.220 Yeah.

00:15:54.620 Let's move ahead.

00:15:55.340 We've got conservative immigration critic MRG, Michelle Rumpel-Garner.

00:15:59.680 Michelle Rumpel-Garner is a joy to watch at the House of Commons committees, which are boring for everybody else except for me.

00:16:09.040 I realize that.

00:16:10.120 But she's great because she treats our immigration minister, Lena Diab, like the midwit, because she is. 1.00

00:16:23.220 She treats her like a midwit that she is, and she points out that she's going to be fired soon. 0.99

00:16:30.600 And Michelle mentioned that again yesterday, that Lena Diab should be fired. 1.00

00:16:38.280 The immigration system isn't fixed.

00:16:40.760 She's been in her portfolio long enough to have done something, anything.

00:16:45.500 I mean, they're not even helping at this point.

00:16:49.160 Like, things are getting worse, and so, and Michelle points out that, look, you're turning people who were pro-controlled, economic-based immigration.

00:17:05.100 When I say economic-based immigration, I mean, like, do we have a hole in our economy? 0.99

00:17:09.240 Can we slot these people in without having to provide training to them?

00:17:12.640 You know, foreign-trained doctors, those sorts of things.

00:17:15.340 You're turning people against even that because you're radicalizing people the other way because this is such a mess, which is, you know, the pendulum swinging back the other way.

00:17:25.420 Let's watch.

00:17:30.080 This is, we have seen Canada's immigration consensus crumble over the last year.

00:17:35.340 I am deeply concerned about the hardening attitudes of Canadians towards immigration.

00:17:40.500 This is why I and my Conservative colleagues have been putting forward common-sense proposals to restore order and fairness back into the system.

00:17:48.480 The problem is, is that, you know, whenever we have the Minister at Committee or she's in the House of Commons, she doesn't exude confidence in the file.

00:17:56.780 One way.

00:17:57.100 I think that the fact that 10 Liberal MPs were willing to talk to the CBC about and issue similar sentiments probably states something that we all knew was going to happen, which is, I think that the Prime Minister is going to have to fire her and fire her quickly.

00:18:16.580 Obviously, this file is too important to continue on the path that she's set it on.

00:18:25.320 This is, we have seen Canada's immigration.

00:18:27.940 Yeah.

00:18:28.520 I often ask my children these questions when we're, you know, in the middle of a contentious thing or, you know, something's happening.

00:18:37.500 And I look at them and I say, are you helping or are you hindering?

00:18:42.160 And it sounds like Lina Diab is doing a lot of hindering. 1.00

00:18:48.640 And I think I've said this before, she's the seventh minister to take over this massive file in seven years.

00:18:57.400 And they've all been, obviously, a failure because nothing's changed.

00:19:04.000 And that opening of the floodgates, like quite literally, you can go to Statista or StatsCan, and you can see the massive jump in immigration in 2020 and, well, in 2021 primarily.

00:19:18.700 Yeah, when we were all locked down.

00:19:20.860 That dwarfed. 1.00

00:19:21.920 And, well, yeah, we all needed a vax pass to travel interprovincially, and yet we're opening up the floodgates to everyone and their grandmother, not even worried about that kind of stuff, apparently.

00:19:36.360 But you can see that those numbers dwarf historical averages.

00:19:41.240 Like we're not talking a slight bump or a jaunt up.

00:19:44.600 These are dwarfed historical averages.

00:19:47.440 Right.

00:19:47.940 And it's continued mostly unabated.

00:19:51.000 And it's become a well-known fact now that, hey, Canada is the land of the free.

00:19:57.240 And literally, like, you can just get everything for free if you come in claiming asylum, claiming refugee.

00:20:04.960 And that's not to say that there aren't legitimate claims out there, but there needs to be safeguards and checks and balances to ensure people aren't capitalizing on the historical generosity of Canadians that has been completely taken advantage of in recent years.

00:20:24.040 Yeah, there's persecuted Christians who should be seeking asylum in Canada, like, you know, maybe from Nigeria.

00:20:30.960 And yet they're bunged up in a system that is occupied by food service workers from the Indian subcontinent, which is the world's largest democracy.

00:20:42.160 I want to reiterate every time I say that you're not being persecuted there.

00:20:45.460 They can't get here and get their claims processed, even though they're being sponsored by churches, because the system is bunged up by these fraudulent claims of Tim Wharton's workers from the Indian subcontinent who come here on a temporary foreign worker visa and then get here and then claim asylum.

00:21:04.200 And now the people who actually need our help can't get it.

00:21:09.480 That's a problem.

00:21:10.440 And they can fix that instantly.

00:21:12.560 If you came here on a temporary work permit and your temporary work permit is expired, we'll put you on a plane and get you out of here immediately. 0.50

00:21:22.980 That's how it works.

00:21:24.640 It would fix youth immigration. 0.96

00:21:26.480 It would fix the asylum system. 0.88

00:21:29.100 And it's real easy.

00:21:30.760 They're just not doing it.

00:21:31.700 They refuse to do it.

00:21:33.200 And seven in seven years, we've had five since 2021, and we're like a month into 2026.

00:21:40.820 And Lena Metledge-Diab, all she does is blink her way through committee hearings while they point out that, yeah, we had a steady influx of immigration, then all of a sudden, just a straight spike.

00:21:53.160 And there's no possible way that we can absorb that into our economy.

00:21:56.360 There's just no way.

00:21:56.960 No, there's not – the infrastructure was never – that was not even a thought when Trudeau was like, all right, Canada, diversity is our strength.

00:22:05.660 Come one, come all.

00:22:06.720 Bring your aging grandparents and free health care for them too.

00:22:10.940 Right.

00:22:11.060 Like, it's absolute madness that none of this was ever factored in.

00:22:16.160 And now, all of a sudden, you see it playing out on the streets.

00:22:19.160 It's been downloaded onto the provinces, onto the cities, the municipalities, these issues.

00:22:25.120 They're pushing back, saying, hey, this is a problem, but this is a federal issue.

00:22:31.080 What are we going to do about it?

00:22:32.420 And Lena Diab is up there in committee and in parliament just going, well, she can't even formulate a sentence response. 1.00

00:22:40.780 I mean, she's just falling over her own words continuously.

00:22:44.680 It's actually so embarrassing to see, but, again, unsurprising.

00:22:49.960 And when you mentioned the temporary foreign worker permits being expired or coming up for expiry, we actually can't find those people.

00:22:57.760 Right.

00:22:57.800 The Canadian Border Services Agency has said there's upwards of, like, half a million people who are set to be exported or deported that they literally don't even know where they are or how to find them.

00:23:12.660 So, yeah, that's another safeguard that was never thought out, never put in place.

00:23:18.320 And now it's just the Wild West.

00:23:20.820 Yeah.

00:23:21.860 And if we look at what the-

00:23:22.680 And not in a good way.

00:23:23.740 No, no.

00:23:24.680 Not in a separatist, independence way.

00:23:26.880 Not the fun way like we have here.

00:23:28.700 And we know it's doable.

00:23:30.900 The United States, it's far larger than us.

00:23:33.160 They've got a larger illegal, well, I don't know, maybe we're equal when it comes to per capita.

00:23:39.000 But they have a massive illegal immigration problem, thanks to the Democrats being in charge for the last four years before Trump took over and eight years before the first Trump administration.

00:23:48.840 But they're dealing with it.

00:23:50.740 They're dealing with it.

00:23:51.720 So it can be done.

00:23:53.080 There just needs to be political will.

00:23:55.040 And there doesn't appear to be any.

00:23:58.200 Let's move ahead.

00:23:59.280 And it's not racist also.

00:24:01.940 Like, that's the framing here.

00:24:04.220 It's like, oh, this is racist and nobody's-

00:24:06.740 I hear so much from the left, nobody's illegal.

00:24:08.820 And I'm like, well, actually, if you've been convicted of a crime in your home country and you're coming to Canada and then seeking asylum and refugee, that kind of actually does make you illegal because you're a criminal where you're from. 0.83

00:24:21.300 And you're just trying to escape any form of accountability or consequence for the criminality you engaged in back home.

00:24:27.200 I did a whole report breaking down, like, the public health risks that we flag and then let into our country anyway.

00:24:33.500 And then the rest of us are expected to, like, acquiesce to these endless public health databases that they're going to track and trace our health records.

00:24:41.860 And people who are actually flagged health risks, we just let into the country just because it's madness.

00:24:53.060 It's topsy-turvy, upside-down world, does not make logical sense.

00:24:57.680 And criticizing this keeps being labeled as being racist, but it's not racist to want to ensure that our veterans have health care, have housing, aren't living homeless on the streets or aren't being offered MAID because they can't get a family doctor within, you know, two years, if ever.

00:25:17.060 It's ridiculous to disregard genuine, valid concerns as though it's some sort of, like, xenophobic racism when you have people on the streets who have paid the ultimate price to this country to defend it and serve and protect.

00:25:33.440 And we're not, we're literally just leaving them out to the streets.

00:25:36.840 Yeah.

00:25:37.260 And, you know, by virtue of overstaying your temporary foreign worker visa, you're breaking the law.

00:25:46.180 So, you are breaking the laws of the country.

00:25:50.540 That's criminality.

00:25:52.100 That should immediately exclude you from ever attempting to stay here, ever coming back.

00:25:58.120 You can't respect our laws, out you go.

00:26:00.900 And just to button up your point on, you know, the criticisms of, oh, it's racism if you want people who are overstaying their work permits to go back to wherever the hell they came from.

00:26:12.180 The writing that usually brings forward the anti-birthright citizenship proposals, the policy proposals at the Conservative Party Convention, it's almost always Richmond in B.C.

00:26:28.920 Because they are sick and tired of Chinese oligarchs, spoiled brats, coming and having their anchor baby in their local hospital there, and then sponsoring the rest of the family in. 1.00

00:26:43.440 And who is on the writing association?

00:26:47.020 Chinese people who came here the right way.

00:26:49.180 They're the ones bringing forward this legislation, at least policy proposals for the Conservative Party to adopt, because they hate it.

00:26:59.260 They hate seeing their crooked fellow countrymen, former fellow countrymen, breaking the laws of the country they love so much.

00:27:08.100 They hate it.

00:27:08.760 They're good Canadians.

00:27:10.180 And it's not a, it doesn't make you a bad Canadian to want to protect what it means to be a Canadian.

00:27:14.920 Right, what a slap in the face to all those people who came here, did their due diligence, went through the checks and balances, and are proud to say, hey, I came here the right way, and now I am contributing to the Canadian, I'm a Canadian, and I'm contributing to the Canadian way of life.

00:27:33.220 Yeah.

00:27:34.620 Yeah, slap in the face to them.

00:27:36.200 We have a quick super chat or rumble rant, I'm not sure.

00:27:40.060 Politicians never lie.

00:27:41.680 Gives $5.03.

00:27:43.620 Thank you.

00:27:44.180 Yeah.

00:27:44.620 Lena Diab is the dumbest of them all, most likely corrupt as well. 1.00

00:27:49.060 I don't think she's smart enough to be corrupt, honestly.

00:27:52.160 I just think she's an idiot. 0.99

00:27:55.080 And it's, you know, the dumbest liberal politician changes on any given day, depending on who's in the House of Commons, right?

00:28:01.800 But she's right up there.

00:28:03.180 Like, she's right up there with Evan Solomon, I think.

00:28:07.920 Yeah, is that a little Nate Erskine?

00:28:09.840 Nate Erskine Smith.

00:28:11.180 Nate Erskine doesn't eat enough animal products, so it's not, his brain doesn't work properly.

00:28:15.820 But I don't think she's bright enough to be corrupt.

00:28:19.920 I really don't.

00:28:21.700 I think she probably-

00:28:22.480 He had a corruption or he, no, he was charged, Nate Erskine.

00:28:26.080 Wasn't he charged with the Elections Act recently?

00:28:29.260 Yeah.

00:28:29.420 He was just fined $2,300 or something for violating the elections laws.

00:28:33.740 But yeah, Lena, no, I don't think she's bright enough.

00:28:36.240 I think she's one of those people who, one of those Facebook grandmas who thinks that Elon Musk needs her to send him money so that he can get out of trouble.

00:28:46.360 Like, and that's who I think Lena is.

00:28:49.440 Just before we hit an ad break, on the topic of temporary foreign workers, we've got Pierre Polyev suggesting that Mark Carney might be a temporary foreign worker.

00:29:00.180 I mean, yeah.

00:29:04.360 Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister may pretend he just got here, like he's a temporary foreign worker or something.

00:29:11.440 But in reality, it's the same Liberal House leader, the same Liberal Finance Minister, the same Liberal Justice Minister who was the Immigration Minister that broke the entire system that are running it into the ground today.

00:29:24.220 And it's not just health care that where there's two-tiered, Mr. Speaker, this Prime Minister keeps in place laws that allow foreign criminals who are visiting Canada to have less time in jail after they commit crimes.

00:29:36.580 Will he get rid of the two-tiered system so that we can lock up serious criminals and then kick them out of our country when they're done their time?

00:29:43.160 Mr. Speaker, I would encourage, in the spirit of the members' opposite question, support for C2 and C12, which will help to address some of these issues.

00:29:59.440 That's the first point.

00:30:00.220 The second point, Mr. Speaker, when someone commits a crime in this country, they should serve the time in this country.

00:30:13.160 So, bail reform?

00:30:26.760 Yeah, serve what time, by the way?

00:30:30.360 Like, serve what time?

00:30:32.140 The only time they want people to serve is on a fake bail violation for Tamara Leach, 50 days for a pitcher with a lawyer literally in the pitcher.

00:30:47.360 They violated her bail for that.

00:30:49.160 And, you know, a justice of the peace found her to have violated her bail.

00:30:52.240 But when a real judge looked at it, he said no.

00:30:54.300 But how do you give that woman her 50 days back? 1.00

00:30:56.620 The guy who slit his eight-year-old's throat is tootling around my province in his creep van out on conditions, posting all over social media.

00:31:09.840 By the way, my video that I did about that guy, when it first happened, got taken down because of a publication ban.

00:31:17.520 But this guy is posting all over social media.

00:31:19.540 My truthful video was taken down, but we're only allowed his narrative out there.

00:31:23.360 He's allowed on social media.

00:31:24.980 Nobody serves real time in this country.

00:31:27.020 So, if you're a foreign criminal, I don't want you to get your two years less a day in a provincial jail, comfortable time. 1.00

00:31:37.640 I want you to go back to whatever hellhole you came from and never set foot in my country again. 1.00

00:31:42.380 I don't want you to be the burden of a Canadian taxpayer.

00:31:45.000 Like, Mark Carney's talking like Canada has hard time for anybody.

00:31:49.160 Give me a break.

00:31:49.980 Well, and I wanted to – I know we need to hit an ad break, but I want to just get to this one clip by Mark Miller, too, who's the former immigration minister, by the way, and is now the minister of Canadian culture because I guess we need such a thing.

00:32:07.520 He's saying that Polyev should stop pandering to communities, promising them not to be deported, and promising visas for everyone.

00:32:17.180 Let's listen to this nonsense.

00:32:19.980 This is actually a really serious issue, and they can talk down members of this House.

00:32:24.360 They can call them bad people all they want, but Canada's immigration consensus is crumbling.

00:32:29.800 Stakeholders aren't getting their calls returned.

00:32:31.940 Controls are gone, putting pressure on housing, on health care, and on jobs, and the minister is MIA throughout all of it.

00:32:39.820 The House deserves a straight answer.

00:32:41.640 When is she getting fired? 1.00

00:32:45.020 The Honourable Minister.

00:32:46.340 So, Mr. Speaker, let's assume for a second that the Conservatives actually want to help the situation.

00:32:54.300 Perhaps the member opposite can turn to her right, talk to the leader of the opposition who's changed so many ridings.

00:33:00.640 He's Parliament's own temporary foreign worker.

00:33:02.820 And ask them to stop going around the country, pandering to communities, promising them not to be deported, and promising visas for everyone.

00:33:11.560 That might help, Mr. Speaker.

00:33:12.960 This is actually...

00:33:13.820 Did he steal Poliev's joke and try to turn it around on him and say he's a temporary foreign worker?

00:33:22.680 He's from Alberta.

00:33:24.780 He was born here.

00:33:26.000 He's from here.

00:33:26.960 He just came home.

00:33:28.380 He lives in his riding.

00:33:30.020 He has two constituency offices.

00:33:33.460 I drove past one the other day.

00:33:35.400 How long did it take for Mark Carney, Mr. Three Separate Passports, to open an office in wherever he is from?

00:33:42.760 Nippian? 0.89

00:33:43.340 I don't even think he has.

00:33:44.900 I don't think he has a constituency office yet.

00:33:48.440 Oh, the riding is just...

00:33:49.920 It's right before...

00:33:50.500 It's just before Ottawa.

00:33:51.280 Just outside of Ottawa.

00:33:53.300 Thank you.

00:33:53.900 Yes.

00:33:54.560 Nippian. 0.79

00:33:55.440 Yeah.

00:33:55.940 Yeah.

00:33:56.440 I don't think he has a constituency office.

00:33:58.400 And he was criticized heavily for not having one while they were campaigning.

00:34:02.840 Absolutely nonsense in the House of Commons.

00:34:08.180 And I mean, the Conservatives just put a motion through, or sorry, they asked for a review of the criminals we let into this country.

00:34:17.020 Right.

00:34:17.300 And then give temporary health care to under the Temporary Foreign Health Policy.

00:34:22.140 I think it's TFHP, where they're getting better health care than Canadians and seniors, than people who have paid into these systems for their entire lives.

00:34:33.720 So, yeah, they are doing something about it.

00:34:35.940 But the Liberals just would rather...

00:34:38.200 They voted it down.

00:34:39.080 ...engage in theatrics.

00:34:40.540 Yeah, the Liberals just voted that down.

00:34:42.580 Like, the Liberals are the ones giving the visas to all these people. 0.93

00:34:49.920 Like, the audacity to say, well, Pierre Polyev's traveling around the country, promising all these different groups visas.

00:34:57.440 You guys are in charge.

00:34:59.680 You guys are the ones giving them.

00:35:02.400 Even if that were true that Polyev were doing that, I don't believe it is.

00:35:05.280 But even if it were true, how is that any different than what you guys are quite tangibly doing right now?

00:35:10.480 Mm-hmm.

00:35:11.420 JP, Alberta First, gives us $10 on the topic of the dumbest minister.

00:35:19.400 And he says, Gary Anandasangaree, or whatever it is, but that's what it is, would be a serious contender for dumbest minister.

00:35:28.600 Yeah.

00:35:28.880 Also for conflict of interest as a runner-up behind the prime minister.

00:35:33.760 You know what?

00:35:34.640 That's a pretty strong contender.

00:35:37.060 He's pretty dumb because, like Lina, he doesn't know his portfolio. 0.99

00:35:41.420 If you are going around snatching guns from law-abiding gun owners, you might want to know the systems in place for licensing.

00:35:48.460 He has no clue.

00:35:49.960 He should take a weekend, like my aging mother-in-law did, and go sit through the RPAL course.

00:35:56.420 If a 70-something woman can do it and pass with flying colors, surely Gary Anandasangaree, the minister in charge of that course, should be able to do it. 1.00

00:36:06.280 He has no clue.

00:36:07.920 Absolutely no clue about red flag laws.

00:36:09.580 He didn't even know it existed.

00:36:10.260 None of it.

00:36:11.200 No, he didn't.

00:36:12.340 He didn't even know what RPAL was.

00:36:14.260 No.

00:36:14.560 Oh, he's an idiot.

00:36:17.200 Let's hit an ad break.

00:36:18.400 Okay.

00:36:18.700 And then we'll come back on the other side.

00:36:19.480 We'll try to hit the headline topics with what's left of the show and the cringe because we have a recidivist criminal. 0.99

00:36:26.980 Oh, yes.

00:36:27.800 Daily cringe, Janice Irwin.

00:36:29.920 She's back to make me crawl out of my skin. 0.99

00:36:32.880 I have such secondhand embarrassment for her, and I don't know why because I don't like her.

00:36:38.920 Usually I only have secondhand embarrassment for people I like, but it's just so bad.

00:36:42.560 Anyway, let's hit an ad break, and then we've got an ad read on the other side.

00:36:47.260 Hello, everyone.

00:36:48.100 Tamara Leach here with Rebel News, and I am thrilled to announce that I am heading out on tour to talk about all things Alberta independence with two of my favorite authors and journalists, Sheila Gunn-Reed and Corey Morgan.

00:37:00.760 We are doing nine cities across the province of Alberta to talk about all things Alberta independence.

00:37:06.440 You can expect live presentations from each of us, a panel discussion on independence, a Q&A, as well as a book signing, and meet and greet following each of the events.

00:37:30.760 Alberta is at a crossroads.

00:37:35.260 For years, I've heard the frustration.

00:37:37.360 I've felt it too, but frustration doesn't build a country.

00:37:41.760 Preparation does.

00:37:42.820 In my new book, Independence Blueprint, what Alberta can learn from Quebec, I break down the hard mechanics of sovereignty, what we can learn from Quebec's 1995 referendum, the research that's already been done, and what would actually come next for a free Alberta.

00:38:04.900 There's the constitutional process, currency, pensions, continuity of services, trade, resource control, Indigenous partnership, and international recognition.

00:38:15.760 These aren't slogans.

00:38:16.940 This isn't fantasy.

00:38:18.140 These are just hard facts and serious preparation.

00:38:21.420 Whether Alberta stays or goes, we need to understand the stakes.

00:38:25.360 Head over to buy your copy today at independenceblueprint.ca.

00:38:29.160 Let's be prepared, because our time is now.

00:38:42.040 I'll get to the ad read, and then we can get into the rest of the headliners.

00:39:37.020 This isn't a credit, oh, sorry, yours to protect your family.

00:39:41.000 Finally, when the system fails, when institutions turn on their own people, financial sovereignty is the difference between security and vulnerability.

00:39:49.640 Rumble Wallet isn't about politics, it's about freedom, ownership, and protecting what's yours.

00:40:02.660 True ownership, true protection, true financial freedom.

00:40:06.080 Wouldn't that have been nice in 2022 when all of the Freedom Convoy supporters had their bank accounts frozen and their assets seized and destroyed livelihoods even further than they had already been?

00:40:19.420 Yeah, and in ways they didn't even know about, like the dastardly deeds of Farm Credit Canada,

00:40:24.780 who checked your social media to see if you were a supporter of the convoy before they decided if you were going to get financing to buy cattle or buy farm equipment.

00:40:36.480 They decided that you needed to have a government-friendly social credit score during that time.

00:40:42.840 So people were hurt in ways that they might never have even realized.

00:40:47.740 You know, you just got turned down for financing.

00:40:49.520 You don't know why.

00:40:50.080 Your credit is fine.

00:40:50.980 You've done business with them forever.

00:40:52.220 But because you were on the wrong side of the government, like they do in CCP-controlled China, you just were not able to access financing.

00:41:01.860 It's just despicable.

00:41:03.480 And the fact that these people just get away with it and just go on to bigger and better things like Christopher Freeland.

00:41:12.200 I mean, we're not a real country.

00:41:13.680 In the United States, you'd go to jail.

00:41:15.220 In South Korea, that prime minister just got life in prison.

00:41:19.140 They wanted the death penalty for him after he invoked martial law illegally there in the new country.

00:41:26.920 Perhaps we'll have stricter penalties for this.

00:41:30.280 Doug Ford was asked if he thinks Pierre Polyev and the federal conservatives are pulling down his party's support in Ontario.

00:41:38.880 That's an odd question.

00:41:40.420 And maybe it has something to do with Doug Ford himself.

00:41:44.780 But okay, let's listen.

00:41:48.200 There's a new poll out this morning from Liaison Strategies that has your party at 40% support, four points over the Liberals.

00:41:55.640 You're down 7% from the fall.

00:41:58.000 Do you think that the federal party and Pierre Polyev are pulling your party down any?

00:42:01.680 No, you know something, Liaison, they're heavy liberal pollsters.

00:42:07.020 Last week, another poll came out that we were 45%.

00:42:10.080 They were down 30%.

00:42:11.940 I had another poll.

00:42:12.920 We're up 45%.

00:42:13.820 They're at 20%.

00:42:14.840 You know, polls are for dogs.

00:42:17.540 And the only poll that counts is on Election Day.

00:42:20.520 So all these pollsters, they're a little biased, pushing up one, bringing down the other.

00:42:25.300 The people will decide.

00:42:26.720 The people will decide if they want to go back to tax and spend governments, chasing 300,000 jobs out of the province.

00:42:35.200 We've gained a million jobs.

00:42:37.060 We've never raised taxes.

00:42:38.700 If they want a tax and spend government, we aren't the ones.

00:42:44.380 What?

00:42:45.240 I don't even know what Ontario's ballooning deficit is at, but that is nonsense.

00:42:51.680 Masquerading as fiscal responsibility.

00:42:53.960 Doug Ford has not been that whatsoever.

00:42:59.560 Sure, they haven't raised taxes, but our deficit just continues to grow.

00:43:07.100 In no way could Pierre Polyev hurt Doug Ford.

00:43:10.340 That phone call, my friends, is coming from inside the House.

00:43:13.980 People want a conservative premier.

00:43:16.720 They're just not getting a conservative premier.

00:43:19.080 So why would you vote for conservative in name only when you could just vote for the liberals?

00:43:22.800 In Alberta, the conservatives are polling high, higher than ever.

00:43:29.180 And that is reflected in Danielle Smith's increasing approval rating.

00:43:34.280 I think she's like 13, 16 points ahead of the NDP in Alberta.

00:43:38.500 The more conservative she gets, the wider that gap gets. 0.99

00:43:42.580 And that's how it happens.

00:43:45.220 Doug Ford has to be different than the liberals.

00:43:48.640 But he's not.

00:43:51.000 So when you're somewhere in the mushy middle and you're wondering, okay, well, I have a liberal here or a liberal here.

00:43:58.460 Maybe you park your vote with the liberal you don't know.

00:44:01.620 That's a Doug Ford problem.

00:44:03.120 It's not a Pierre Polyev problem.

00:44:04.920 If he were conservative, he'd probably be doing a lot better.

00:44:07.620 Yeah, this wedging is just more indication that Ford is eyeing up a seat or perhaps be the leader of the conservatives.

00:44:22.380 Good luck.

00:44:23.320 Good luck.

00:44:24.480 If Alberta is still in the country when Doug Ford has designs on that, do you think the Western bloc of conservative party members is ever going to allow that to happen in a million years?

00:44:41.020 MRG, if you're watching, please run against him.

00:44:45.480 There's no possible way.

00:44:48.100 If we're still here, the Western bloc of conservative party membership will make sure that never happens.

00:44:56.280 Never, ever.

00:44:56.880 Because we feel like he screwed us in the last election.

00:45:01.600 And there's a lot of truth to that.

00:45:04.540 Yeah, and arguably also for the last 10-ish years.

00:45:08.540 Yes.

00:45:08.780 All right, so what else do we have here?

00:45:12.320 Oh, and well, there's some more Doug Ford if we want to just talk about his flip-flopping.

00:45:17.980 You know, yes, he got one thing right today, which was holding true to the fact that we should have robust self-defense laws.

00:45:25.180 And those charges for Jeremy McKenzie should have absolutely been dropped, and they were.

00:45:30.320 Yeah, I hope he finds the guy in charge.

00:45:32.560 He's trying to backpedal on his, like, thinly veiled attack on Pierre Polyev.

00:45:37.520 Yeah.

00:45:37.960 And say that he wishes him all the best and has nothing against him whatsoever.

00:45:44.720 Yeah.

00:45:45.800 Pierre Polyev is going to be speaking at noon, talking about Canada-U.S. relations.

00:45:50.880 We understand he is going to be mentioning President Donald Trump.

00:45:55.080 What do you want to hear from the federal conservative leader that maybe we haven't heard before?

00:46:00.560 Well, I just want to hear that he's going to work collaboratively with our federal government.

00:46:05.720 I don't care who's the prime minister.

00:46:07.380 It could be the red party, the blue party, probably never the orange party.

00:46:10.900 But we will, you know, I work with anyone.

00:46:14.120 And I don't care if Pierre ever became prime minister.

00:46:17.180 I'd be working with him.

00:46:18.220 I work well with the prime minister right now.

00:46:20.620 So let's all work together.

00:46:22.140 Let's start diversifying our trade, which we're doing.

00:46:25.180 Let's start cutting taxes, putting money back into people's pockets and businesses so they can reinvest.

00:46:31.100 That's what I believe in.

00:46:32.360 So I wish him all the best, by the way.

00:46:35.140 I have nothing against Pierre whatsoever.

00:46:37.460 Pierre Polyev?

00:46:39.620 I believe none of that.

00:46:40.920 I think that's the problem is that Ford, well, he works with everyone.

00:46:44.240 Instead of like being actual opposition to anything, which is the whole reason why we have opposition parties,

00:46:49.320 is to make headway on things that should not be moving forward or should not be allowed, tolerated, going through.

00:46:56.920 When you're just the yes man to everything, that's how we end up in the mess that we're in now.

00:47:01.280 Right, right.

00:47:02.980 Pierre Polyev is the leader of the opposition party.

00:47:06.840 It's his job to oppose bad ideas from the liberals that hurt Canadians.

00:47:11.740 That's his job.

00:47:13.040 It's right in the title, right?

00:47:16.240 Newsflash.

00:47:17.000 Yeah.

00:47:17.740 So to say that he must work collaboratively with the prime minister on his bad ideas and schemes, that's not his job.

00:47:27.060 It's not his job to prop up the current government.

00:47:29.580 It's his job to oppose the ideas that would undermine Canada's best interests.

00:47:35.980 And I think that's what he's doing.

00:47:39.740 That's why O'Toole was voted out.

00:47:41.940 Like we got rid of the guy who was just trying to go along to get along.

00:47:46.100 Yes.

00:47:46.480 We want actual opposition.

00:47:48.020 And I would say in a lot of these areas, Pierre Polyev isn't there yet.

00:47:52.400 Yeah.

00:47:52.580 I want more opposition.

00:47:54.200 He could be a lot more hard lines.

00:47:55.220 Yeah, for sure.

00:47:55.860 He could be a little bit more radical in his ideas.

00:47:59.780 Just going back to the point we were talking about Doug Ford wanting to sit in the office of the leader of the opposition.

00:48:06.180 At the Conservative Party National Convention in Calgary.

00:48:10.060 Now it is an Alberta crowd, but there were conservatives from all over the country there.

00:48:14.560 When Daniel Smith took that stage, it was like a rock star hit the stage.

00:48:19.680 Like more applause, more energy than I think even for Pierre Polyev himself.

00:48:25.940 Because I think she's the leader that all these other conservatives wish they had in their own province.

00:48:34.420 And I know for a fact, Doug Ford would not have been given that same reception from conservatives all across the country.

00:48:44.220 I just, there's no possible way.

00:48:46.360 Because he's not actually doing anything.

00:48:49.180 Like nothing even remotely interesting or controversial that changes the society and the culture for the better.

00:48:55.760 He's just not doing those things.

00:48:57.640 So, anyway, that's my take on Doug Ford.

00:49:02.200 Yeah, exactly.

00:49:03.180 He wanted to collaborate with everyone.

00:49:04.860 That's his style, I guess.

00:49:06.300 It wouldn't have gotten him very far at that Conservative Party convention.

00:49:10.480 I don't know who's around him, but somebody needs to give him like a reality check.

00:49:14.620 Just say like, look.

00:49:15.240 Swift kick in the behind. 0.55

00:49:17.440 Wasn't that the same Conservative Party convention that the CBC said?

00:49:21.440 And there's growing sentiment and likeness toward Mark Carney?

00:49:28.960 Yeah.

00:49:29.840 Where?

00:49:30.620 Here?

00:49:31.400 Yeah.

00:49:31.740 What an absolute ridiculous statement.

00:49:34.620 Yeah.

00:49:35.360 All right.

00:49:36.120 We have a few more minutes left.

00:49:38.560 I'm not sure what we should get to next here.

00:49:40.920 Uh, let's maybe just talk about this maid issue.

00:49:44.600 Because this is, again, and I don't want to turn it into an Alberta-centric show.

00:49:49.060 However, we are doing things in here, in this province, to protect ourselves from the horrors of the rest of the country.

00:49:56.180 So, one of them is, of course, our referendum on immigration.

00:49:59.600 Perhaps one of them is our referendum on staying within Confederation entirely.

00:50:04.860 Um, our police will not be participating in the gun grab, and we also will not be participating in the expansion of the medical assistance in dying program.

00:50:20.020 So, the other day, Alberta announced that there will be no such thing for people whose underlying condition is mental illness, no mature minors.

00:50:32.040 We're pumping the brakes on this, and, okay, I am a traditional Catholic.

00:50:39.400 So, for me, this is a complete non-starter.

00:50:42.060 I don't want any of this in our culture.

00:50:44.280 We have medicalized death instead of it just being part of life and death.

00:50:50.040 So, I am conception to natural death.

00:50:52.600 Now, if you want to decline medical intervention towards the end of your life, that's something different than them saying, get in the suicide pod, Grammy. 0.99

00:51:03.180 Like, it's a little bit different.

00:51:04.560 But, for the people who were in favor of medical assistance in dying, for people with a foreseeable death in the very near future, whose suffering is great.

00:51:20.900 Now, I don't believe in such thing as irremediable suffering.

00:51:23.520 But, for people whose suffering is great and the end of their life, that's what medical assistance in dying was supposed to be for.

00:51:31.600 We're dialing it back to that, or at least doing our best to get it back to there.

00:51:36.280 And, that has prompted the Delta Hospice Society in British Columbia, who is featured in our documentary on medical assistance in dying.

00:51:45.240 It's called Made Canada's Culture of Death.

00:51:48.280 Sorry.

00:51:49.160 I forget the title of my own documentary.

00:51:52.860 Made.

00:51:54.080 Anyways.

00:51:55.620 The Delta Hospice Society has decided that they will build a palliative care facility in Alberta.

00:52:03.760 And, the story of the Delta Hospice Society is harrowing, because they built this hospice society with money raised from the Catholic community, by and large.

00:52:15.280 It was on a property that they had an agreement with the provincial government.

00:52:20.340 And, when they said, oh, we're not allowing your kill teams to come in here and get other people's Grammys with your needles, the government basically expropriated the building that was privately built using money from faithful traditional Catholics, and has turned it into a place where you could just walk in and get euthanized. 0.76

00:52:44.340 So, they have been operating and raising money, and then they have teams that give people palliative care in their homes.

00:52:54.580 I think largely nuns, if I believe correctly.

00:52:57.200 And, they have now, because we're going to be a safe haven for people who are mentally ill, in despair, and inconvenient, they are going to build a facility here, considering building a facility here.

00:53:10.160 And, that's how quickly Daniel Smith can change the culture for the better with just one quick piece of legislation.

00:53:16.500 It's good.

00:53:17.260 I'm glad.

00:53:17.640 And, give a whole organization whose life was, livelihoods were ripped, you know, the rug was just pulled right out from under them, give them prosperity again.

00:53:31.700 Yes.

00:53:32.160 And, my documentary is called Made, The Dark Side of Canadian Compassion.

00:53:35.940 I can't believe I forgot the name of my own documentary, but it's just one of many.

00:53:39.000 So, I guess that's the downside of being busy, as you get too many things in your brain and you forget what you've done.

00:53:45.820 You can see it at maidedocumentary.com.

00:53:48.120 It's also on Tubi.

00:53:49.180 If you don't want to go about it that way, you can go find it on Tubi.

00:53:52.500 But, Angelina Ireland, the lady from the Delta Hospice Society, is featured in our documentary.

00:53:59.420 And, she tells the story of how they lost a multi-million dollar facility because they wouldn't kill other people's grandmas in it.

00:54:06.240 It's terrible.

00:54:06.840 In case you're wondering what's happening in Canada right now.

00:54:10.580 Right.

00:54:11.060 Right.

00:54:11.440 And, it's going to get worse everywhere else, except here in Alberta, where we're trying to preserve what Canada was supposed to be like, while also being told we're bad Canadians for trying to do that.

00:54:23.220 Anyway.

00:54:24.080 All right.

00:54:25.000 On that dark note, let's get to the cringe.

00:54:29.240 We've got, oh, shoot, I've got to go up here.

00:54:32.680 The cringe.

00:54:33.480 All right.

00:55:03.480 I'm a proud Albertan and I'm a very proud Canadian.

00:55:07.220 So, today, I did one of the easiest things.

00:55:10.480 I signed this pledge right here.

00:55:13.360 This pledge reads as follows.

00:55:15.540 Pledge to my constituents.

00:55:17.220 I, Janice Irwin, MLA for Edmonton Highlands Norwood, affirm that I am a proud Albertan and a proud Canadian.

00:55:24.140 I am opposed to separatism, and I will make my position known and clear to my constituents.

00:55:30.720 So, my constituents in Edmonton Highlands Norwood can know unequivocally that I am a proud Albertan and a proud Canadian and I denounce separatism.

00:55:39.620 So, now, we're calling on the UCP and Premier Danielle Smith to do the same.

00:55:45.840 There's no more time for doublespeak, for equivocating.

00:55:50.400 It's time for moral clarity from this UCP government.

00:55:53.920 They have an option to take a clear stance today and say they're either with Team Canada or they're separatists.

00:56:02.420 It's easy.

00:56:03.960 Albertans are watching and Canada is watching.

00:56:06.980 Leave it to the NDP to try to compel speech of other political leaders, right?

00:56:16.040 Like, this is compelled speech.

00:56:17.340 It reminds me of land acknowledgements.

00:56:19.740 It reminds me of declaring your pronouns and making everybody acquiesce to however you want to identify and that you've declared out to the world that this is who you are, this is how you're identifying, and this is how you must speak to me now.

00:56:33.860 Um, it's absolute nonsense and I, and I group it in with those same ideologies of ridiculous land acknowledgements and pronoun declarations.

00:56:46.680 This, this stuff makes me more of a separatist every time I see it.

00:56:50.960 Yeah.

00:56:51.300 I'm like, so I don't get to be on the same side as Janice Irwin?

00:56:55.140 Perfect.

00:56:56.340 Thank you so much.

00:56:58.340 Janice, thank you for signing that piece of paper.

00:57:00.620 Now, 120 years of structural inequities are suddenly resolved.

00:57:06.440 At least 11 years of attacks on our oil and gas sector, completely resolved.

00:57:11.740 All of a sudden, we have greater representation in the Senate because you signed this stupid piece of paper that you think is a wedge issue for some reason.

00:57:19.400 But if you look at the Venn diagram of people who support this, the United Conservative Party and people who support separatism, it's a circle, you dunce.

00:57:28.700 It doesn't alienate people from separatism.

00:57:32.400 It drives them to it.

00:57:33.880 When I see that, okay, so I get to be on the other side of an issue, then this crazy person?

00:57:39.420 Sign me up, sister.

00:57:40.960 Like, I just, I don't know how she thinks that.

00:57:42.800 Where's my paper?

00:57:43.240 Yeah, like, I'll sign the other one.

00:57:45.080 Where's the other paper?

00:57:46.040 I want that one.

00:57:48.060 Daniel Smith has said over and over again she's a federalist.

00:57:51.960 She's not compelling the speech of her MLAs.

00:57:55.180 They are basically staying out of this.

00:57:57.740 In fact, I would suggest that they are doing things which undermine the efforts of the separatist movement by doing things like blocking maid expansion in our province, starting our own police force.

00:58:10.240 She's giving the separatists, like me, what we want without the 18 months of chaos of trying to leave the country.

00:58:18.480 So I actually think that is helpful to Janice's cause of staying inside of the country.

00:58:25.140 She just doesn't want to acknowledge that because then she'd have to say that Daniel Smith is doing the things that people want and that's a little too much honesty for these kookaloos. 1.00

00:58:34.280 Yeah, absolutely.

00:58:35.040 Well, I think that we hit the headliners there and I know that we have to jet set off to various locations and things.

00:58:42.860 Don't forget your flag.

00:58:44.680 Do you have any super chats to get to?

00:58:47.520 I think that was all.

00:58:49.940 Okay, that's it.

00:58:51.600 All right.

00:58:52.280 So come back.

00:58:53.420 Thanks, everybody, for joining us, for tuning in, for those who generously donated and had your comments read on air.

00:59:01.660 Always appreciate that.

00:59:03.280 And we'll be back same time and place, different hosts, tomorrow, Friday, from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern.
