Rebel News Podcast - REBEL ROUNDUP ｜ Convoy organizers face 8 years, Teen killer in custody, US wants full market access

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Rebel News live stream on this

00:00:18.960 a Monday, July 21st, 2025. I'm David Menzies and my co-host. Well, let me tell you a bit

00:00:27.200 about my co-host, shall I? Do you know, folks, that today is National Junk Food Day? And my co-host

00:00:35.800 does not indulge in that. I mean, look at her. Just look at her. Does that look like a junk food 1.00

00:00:43.780 junkie to you? She is the she-devil of the Northern Alberta Khaleesi. I've screwed everything up, 1.00

00:00:51.140 but you know what I'm talking about. She is the sensational gun read. Sheila, how are you doing

00:00:58.340 today? I am doing great. Sounds like you could have used a junk food snack before you jumped on

00:01:04.500 air. Seems like your blood sugar took a jump off the deep end there. I was a very good boy today.

00:01:10.740 I only ate guacamole. I'm being a little... That's a good choice, actually. Good for you.

00:01:16.100 It's delicious and it's good for you. And I'm sorry if I'm a little discombobulated here. I'm

00:01:22.260 getting some feedback on my earpiece, so I apologize. But Sheila, I got to tell you,

00:01:27.920 National Junk Food Day, this is what it says. July 21 dedicates a giant menu of items to National

00:01:35.300 Junk Food Day. This day permits us to chow down on the foods we usually do not include in our daily

00:01:44.940 diet. Sheila, who's writing the copy for these cockamamie National Days? The food we don't include

00:01:52.860 in our usual diet? We have a fat epidemic. We have an entire genre of reality TV dedicated to obese

00:02:00.980 people. I would argue we very much include junk food in our daily diet, too many of us. And yes,

00:02:09.380 guilty as charged, even though I'm trying my best to avoid the junk. 0.95

00:02:12.840 Yeah. You know, it's funny, though, what they classify as junk food is probably like red meat,

00:02:19.000 stuff like that, when they really should be classifying the things that we, that, you know,

00:02:24.160 the big thinkers in charge of the food pyramid have been pushing on young people for the better

00:02:29.780 part of 40 years, like cereals, breads, granola bars. Like, imagine thinking a granola bar is a

00:02:36.020 health food. If you've ever read the back, sometimes you'd be better off eating a Snickers.

00:02:39.440 But we don't teach young people how to read food labels in school. We just tell them how to 0.90

00:02:44.680 follow the food pyramid. And then we wonder why they need to be on Ozempic and insulin later on in

00:02:50.240 life. Anyways, we have a really busy show today. Yes. And we should get right into it. I'll tell

00:02:55.180 everybody how they can get involved. If you're watching us on Rumble, thank you for watching us

00:02:58.820 there. If you want to get involved in the show, support the work that we do, you can leave a Rumble

00:03:02.660 rant so you can interact directly with us. If it's over the $5 US cutoff, we'll read it on air.

00:03:07.520 Same rules apply over on YouTube. But YouTube has an additional way that you can support us. So

00:03:13.040 if you're missing the live version of the show, you can leave a paid chat called a super thanks

00:03:19.920 also. And we rely on you because of course, we'll never rely on the government to do the work that

00:03:25.440 we do. I mean, we're not the mainstream media. Why would we do that? And before we get into a very

00:03:31.040 packed show, I want to tell you about how you can help us celebrate a milestone that was only possible

00:03:40.220 thanks to you. So it was our 10th birthday back in February. We didn't celebrate it at the time.

00:03:46.060 There was a lot of things happening in the world. It was we're in the throes of tariff mania. We

00:03:50.120 remain in the throes of tariff mania. There was a leadership race in the liberals and then

00:03:55.440 quickly pivoted to electioneering. And so we put off our birthday party, but we can't put it off

00:04:02.740 forever. And this is as much a celebration of everything we accomplished as it is a celebration

00:04:08.840 of your support of us over the years. So please join us in Calgary if you're there, if you can be

00:04:14.700 there September 18th, 6pm at the Carriage House, where you will hang out with your favorite rebels.

00:04:23.000 I hope I'm one of them. It'll be live music and entertainment. And we just added a headliner

00:04:28.300 to our live music. And that is our friend Tamara Leach. And boy, there's a lot of news

00:04:34.680 coming out about her today. So Tamara Leach will be performing. There'll be cocktails, 0.99

00:04:41.180 hors d'oeuvres, meet and greet with your favorite rebel personalities, photo ops, and keepsakes to

00:04:45.480 remember the night. I know Lisa and I have decided that we are going to overdress because I know most of

00:04:50.580 you see me like looking like a lumberjill most of the time, I'm going to lean into the glamour of

00:04:59.700 the evening. I think Lisa's going to drag me along on that adventure. So we'll be there. General

00:05:06.060 admission tickets include free parking, live music, hors d'oeuvres, team photos, VIP tickets include all

00:05:11.480 those things, plus a special dinner with rebels and the team before the party. So that starts at

00:05:18.920 five. If you want tickets, and please do not hesitate. Don't sleep on this. As the young

00:05:24.600 people say, go to happybirthdayrebel.com and join us as we celebrate everything that we were able to

00:05:31.440 do. Thanks to all of you at home. And I'll just say, Sheila, what more do people want? Tamara Leach 0.96

00:05:38.380 as the musical guest, you and the lovely Leach dressed to the nines.

00:05:42.680 Yeah, you got if I wasn't part of this, I'd be buying a ticket right now.

00:05:47.460 Yeah, I'm gonna look like a disco ball. All right, let's get into if that's all the housekeeping

00:05:54.200 Efron. If I've missed something, please let me know. But let's get into the news of Tamara Leach,

00:06:01.160 because this sort of broke over the last day or two. She is headed to sentencing after being convicted

00:06:09.660 of mischief. She's headed to sentencing in just two days. So Wednesday on the 23rd.

00:06:19.320 And this is what she posted. And it's funny, because I brought this up to Ezra the other day.

00:06:24.500 And I'm like, should we get Tamara to come to our birthday party? And he's like, and I said,

00:06:29.440 you know, like, are we worried about her going to jail? And he said, Oh, God, she'll never see

00:06:33.400 inside of a jail cell. Oh, well, not if the prosecutors have their way. Late yesterday

00:06:40.060 afternoon, I received a copy of the Crown's materials for upcoming sentencing hearing and

00:06:45.060 can confirm they are seeking a seven year prison sentence for her. This is not like, hey, we're

00:06:52.780 looking. This is the sentencing range from like, no time served to 10 years. They want seven years for

00:07:01.960 Tamara, eight for Chris Barber, and the destruction of Chris's livelihood. They want to destroy Big Red.

00:07:10.060 That's his iconic symbol of the convoy, his truck, which he uses every day. It's part of his business.

00:07:19.260 He's a truck. He is quite literally a trucker. If you destroy the truck, you destroy his business. So

00:07:24.080 not only is it enough that they want to imprison him for eight years, but they also want to leave him

00:07:28.940 indigent, uh, at the end of it all. And, uh, I think this is outrageous. As I said, sentencing is

00:07:37.860 Wednesday. Ezra's going to be there to cover it, uh, live from the courtroom for Rebel News.

00:07:45.280 Well, Sheila, uh, if Tamara does spend a single day in jail, it will make a mockery. 1.00

00:07:52.820 She almost spent 50 days already. So yeah, yeah, no, I'm not. And of course, uh, if I'm the judge,

00:07:59.000 uh, the penalty is, uh, time served, uh, uh, have a good day, uh, Ms. Leach and Mr. Barber. And that is

00:08:07.820 just a vendetta if they go ahead and try to, uh, repossess or destroy Big Red, uh, take away his

00:08:14.660 livelihood. What have we seen in almost two years in the streets? We've seen the Hamas holes chanting for 1.00

00:08:19.900 genocide, shooting up Jewish girls' schools, carrying out vandalism against Jewish businesses,

00:08:27.540 um, vandalism, violence, and what happens? Uh, the police arrest peaceful counter-demonstrators. 0.98

00:08:36.520 And yes, I'm speaking from experience members of the independent, uh, press. Uh, what did we see

00:08:42.560 just last week, some 14 year old punk? And of course we can't name precious or show you his photo

00:08:50.380 anymore. Now that he's been captured, um, who took to social media and incriminated himself bragging

00:08:58.160 essentially about killing a 71 year old beloved grandmother because she wouldn't surrender her car

00:09:06.520 keys. Gee, Sheila, maybe, um, uh, maybe the Toronto police were right. Uh, just, just bend the knee.

00:09:13.780 Just, just give the criminals whatever you want. And here we have these leaders of a peaceful

00:09:21.160 demonstration. As you know, Sheila, uh, crime went down in Ottawa during the freedom convoy being there,

00:09:29.520 despite all the despicable smear attempts of, you know, uh, freedom convoy participants involved in

00:09:36.720 arson and, uh, going after a homeless shelter. I mean, it was just absolute embarrassing garbage, 0.98

00:09:43.980 but here's my worry, Sheila. I would like to believe Ezra is right. I would like to believe that, 0.95

00:09:50.660 you know, even though they're seeking seven, eight year jail sentence terms, the real justice would be,

00:09:57.240 uh, please be on your way. You've suffered enough and they have suffered enough clearly,

00:10:01.920 but you never know what a judge is thinking. Do you, Sheila? You can never guess what's in that

00:10:08.480 judge's head and my fear, especially that this trial is being held in Ottawa. And I'm just speculating

00:10:17.620 if this is a judge who has aspirations of in the future being named to say the Supreme court of Canada

00:10:25.280 wants to wear one of those nice red robes, you know, that that means the book will be thrown.

00:10:33.640 I, I would have more confidence, Sheila, if this was a jury trial, not, you know, yeah, go ahead.

00:10:44.100 No, I was just going to say this picture itself speaks to, uh, why she shouldn't see the inside of

00:10:50.140 a jail cell. She is standing there with her lawyer, Keith Wilson. Yeah. Talking to the police liaison

00:10:57.840 team, working with the police liaison team, doing her best to mitigate the inconvenience of the

00:11:07.040 residents of downtown Ottawa, the well-kept work from home bureaucrats of downtown Ottawa, who, uh,

00:11:15.360 found honk, the honkening, the worst thing that ever happened to them. The phantom honking. Do you

00:11:22.320 remember that? That was a real story. They suffered from phantom honking. Um, but this, this shows,

00:11:29.100 this shows that she's not some hardened, seasoned criminal who should spend seven years in jail.

00:11:37.700 She's somebody who did her best to make sure that her protest adhered to the laws by working with 0.80

00:11:47.560 police every single day. It's atrocious that the crown wants this, but let's not let somebody in the

00:11:56.340 middle of this get away from it. These are Doug Ford's crown prosecutors. Yep. These are not Mark

00:12:03.300 Carney's crown prosecutors. These are Doug Ford's crown prosecutors. This is insane.

00:12:11.000 A hundred percent. But really, uh, Doug Ford, Mark Carney, really Sheila, is there any difference?

00:12:16.840 I mean, let's be realistic here. Um, yes, there was horn honking, but I can tell you over the last few

00:12:24.400 years, Sheila, whether it's Antifa or the Hamas holes or sometimes, uh, public sector union members,

00:12:31.960 I get a mega horn, uh, at point blank in my ear. Um, it is deafening. It is a form of assault.

00:12:42.760 A hundred percent. It is. I would rather be punched than have one of those horns, uh, you know,

00:12:49.460 blast, uh, a sonic assault into my eardrums. This happens in front of police and they do nothing.

00:12:57.160 And I, and I made this point before Sheila, and I, I remember your answer and it made me chuckle.

00:13:02.940 I was there for most of the freedom convoy and I was out there on the coldest days and I was

00:13:08.840 practicing journalism, covering it as where of course, Alexa Lavoie and Lincoln J. And I'll tell

00:13:15.640 you, I stayed in hotels right downtown, right at ground zero. And when my head hit the pillow,

00:13:23.560 I was out like a light. And I think you said when I first told you that story, well, of course,

00:13:30.600 because you were working. Yeah, it was exactly what I was thinking. That's because you put in

00:13:35.120 an honest day's work and a lot of those bureaucrats work from home bureaucrat losers, uh, one and two 1.00

00:13:41.240 could be fired and I wouldn't care. Um, they, they don't work hard for a living. And that's what the 0.59

00:13:48.280 people in the freedom convoy wanted for themselves was to be able to go back to work, to just be able

00:13:54.200 to earn for their family. Um, but thanks to vaccine mandates and travel restrictions, they just could

00:14:00.760 it. They did. They didn't want to, uh, have their union go to bat for them so that they could sit in

00:14:06.840 their condo in downtown Ottawa and clock away on their keyboard. They wanted to put in an honest day's

00:14:14.120 work with their back and their hands or their truck or their equipment to earn for their families.

00:14:19.240 And they were never allowed to, that's what they were there fighting for. And imagine it's the laptop

00:14:24.840 class versus the productive class. That's what this was all about. And, uh, you know, the, the fancy

00:14:31.480 people in this country, they have to make sure that this never happens again.

00:14:37.080 And you know, Sheila, as you were speaking, uh, look at the despicable footage of violence and

00:14:45.560 vandalism and hatred, um, bouncy castles and street performers and people picking up litter. Um,

00:14:55.800 you know, and I'll tell you one of the sidebars, Sheila, in terms of the propaganda narrative

00:15:01.000 that the legacy media was perpetuating was, um, all the restaurants, I would say more than 90%

00:15:09.880 of the restaurants in downtown Ottawa during this period were closed, even had plywood, um, uh,

00:15:17.400 you know, shielding on their windows because you know what, uh, it's not a safe space,

00:15:23.960 you know, and I can tell you the ones and twos of restaurants that stayed open,

00:15:29.000 there was a Sharama place and there was a, um, a tie place. There was a lineup of grateful customers

00:15:37.880 waiting to get in to patronize. Uh, what I'm saying is all those scaredy cat Ottawa businesses that bought

00:15:45.480 in to the mainstream media propaganda, they lost out on a bonanza because when you have, um, over 150,000

00:15:55.640 people converging in downtown Ottawa, guess what? They're going to buy things, especially food and

00:16:00.680 beverage. And you really missed out. And there was none of the garbage that we see in the streets of

00:16:08.840 our great dominion, uh, post October 7th. So Sheila, try to connect the dots for me in terms of this

00:16:16.200 hypocrisy and this double standard. You know, I did something that a lot of people didn't do,

00:16:21.720 and that was actually read the sentencing, uh, submissions from the crown. And in that, uh,

00:16:31.400 and I, I wrote this up for our website today, uh, despite the protest peaceful nature, the crown

00:16:37.480 argues that the symbolism of occupying Wellington street near parliament hill justifies treating the

00:16:43.400 event as a serious criminal matter. So just the presence of these blue collar people down there should 1.00

00:16:48.280 be a serious criminal matter. Wait, it gets worse because this goes to what you were talking about.

00:16:54.200 Victim impact statements from residents, hotels, and businesses allege noise disturbance and revenue

00:17:01.880 loss. All they had to do was open the doors. Thank you. They're, they're using the revenue loss

00:17:10.840 as a reason why these two should be punished as serious terrorist criminals. Um, by the way,

00:17:18.040 they weren't convicted of sedition. So why are they being sentenced for sedition? But the, the revenue

00:17:24.520 loss was on the restaurant owners who locked the doors. These people were protesting for the rest,

00:17:31.800 for the restaurants to be able to be open. You know, Sheila, it's kind of like an ice cream truck driver,

00:17:38.360 um, during a scorching heat wave going on vacation. Um, you are lacking the vision of what it takes,

00:17:48.920 uh, to be successful in that business. And the same with this, as they say, tell me, I believe the

00:17:55.080 farmers say this out where you live, Sheila, when the sun is shining, you make hay. And the idea that you

00:18:02.280 closed up voluntarily and granted you were kind of coerced in terms of the media garbage that you 0.98

00:18:09.960 were consuming. Well, you know what, maybe you should have rolled the dice because, uh, you would 0.64

00:18:14.680 have been ahead. Yep. Yeah. The, this, the saying is make hay when the sun shines and, uh, these guys

00:18:21.400 didn't, uh, let's move ahead because the conservatives are remembering why Pierre Poliev is the leader.

00:18:31.160 And Pierre Poliev is the leader because Erin O'Toole was, uh, well, like this with the liberals

00:18:39.320 on the freedom convoy. Uh, he wouldn't meet with them. He basically sided with the nonsensical liberals

00:18:45.960 that, uh, these people shouldn't be protesting their government in the city that houses the

00:18:51.960 government. Like where, where else are you supposed to protest them? Um, but they're remembering once

00:18:58.760 again, why they have Pierre Poliev as a leader. And so conservative MP, Dean Allison reacts to, uh,

00:19:06.760 to Mara's. So before let, we won't go into Poliev yet, but Dean Allison was the first one.

00:19:12.120 So he is the MP for Niagara West. And he was the first one to come out and say how crazy this was.

00:19:19.880 This is insanity. The liberal government treats actual criminals better than this. Steal a car,

00:19:23.960 no problem. Home invasions, no problem. Murder a grandmother, no problemo. Exploit children, 1.00

00:19:28.920 no problem. This country is run by useful idiots. And, uh, that is true. And he wasn't the only one. 1.00

00:19:36.840 He sort of opened the floodgates. So former conservative MP, Michelle Ferrari,

00:19:41.720 then reacted to Dean's post, who is reacting to Tamara. And she said, you can murder someone,

00:19:47.400 walk free. But if you organize a protest, you go to jail. Oh, not any protest. You can order,

00:19:53.080 organize protests all over the place. You just can't organize a protest in favor of human rights

00:20:00.200 and dignity and charter rights in this country. She said, this is liberal Canada. It's not about

00:20:05.800 justice. It's about control. And then U.S. trial lawyer, Robert, Robert Barnes said,

00:20:15.160 we should sanction Canada for this on the same grounds that we have sanctioned other foreign nations

00:20:20.600 for their wrongful lawfare against basic human freedoms that the trucker convoy protected.

00:20:27.000 You know what? One would wonder what Mark Carney would have to say if Russia treated peaceful

00:20:33.080 protesters like this. You know what? Let's say, let's say the Israelis did this. 1.00

00:20:37.880 Yes. The liberals would be lighting their hair on fire, tripping over themselves to denounce it.

00:20:44.360 They do it here. And look, this is a win for justice in Canada.

00:20:50.600 And you know what, Sheila? Let us not forget, since you mentioned the name of Mark Carney,

00:20:56.120 a banker supreme once upon a time in both Canada and England. Mr. Carney, and is there anyone in

00:21:04.280 the mainstream media that would have the guts to ask him this question? As a banker, what did you think

00:21:10.840 about Canadian banks freezing the bank accounts of those financial support? So these are people that

00:21:19.000 never took to the streets. These are just people that wanted to help feed and fuel the freedom convoy.

00:21:26.120 What would Mr. Carney have to say? I really wonder, Sheila. Do you wonder? Because he told us exactly what he

00:21:34.520 would say, because he's the guy who said we need to follow the money and choke it off. And he called this

00:21:43.880 sedition. And lo and behold, these two are being sentenced as though they committed sedition instead

00:21:51.880 of just peaceful mischief, the crime of being annoying in public, and the cops don't know what

00:21:56.040 to do with you. He's the guy who wrote this as an op-ed to the Globe and Mail. It's time to end the

00:22:03.960 sedition in Ottawa by enforcing the law and following the money. He's the guy who whispered to Freeland,

00:22:12.920 let's use FinTrack to shut these down as though this is a terrorist act, and then we'll trace the money

00:22:20.200 as though it is the proceeds or the funding for terrorism. And yet, same government does nothing

00:22:28.200 about the Hamas protests when the Americans are like, yeah, this money's coming from Iran.

00:22:32.680 Well, Sheila, then I take it back. We don't need to ask the Prime Minister where he stands. That

00:22:38.520 opinion column in the Global Mail adroitly speaks volumes, I should think. The second thing is, Sheila,

00:22:48.520 if anyone is going to bat for Canada's big banks, well, you know, they're federally regulated. The

00:22:54.440 government told them to do that. No, they didn't have to follow through on this. And that's not

00:22:59.320 conjecture. You mentioned Keith Wilson, Tamara Leach's lawyer. He has said on our Rebel News Cruises,

00:23:06.280 when he's given presentations, the insurance companies were likewise mandated by the federal

00:23:13.160 government. Yes. They wanted the auto insurance, the home insurance, and even the life insurance

00:23:22.200 policies cancelled. Yeah. Their business liability insurance. We know that Farm Credit Canada

00:23:29.320 denied financing to farmers who had shown support for the Freedom Convoy, not even that they

00:23:34.920 participated in it, but they were denied financing, and they never were told why. So if they were trying

00:23:41.640 to buy equipment, finance cattle, whatever, they couldn't do it, and they were never told why,

00:23:47.480 and it was because their politics were wrong, because Farm Credit Canada is a federal agency,

00:23:52.040 it's the Farmers Finance Bank, which is supposed to work specifically for farmers. And they were

00:23:57.080 punished for having the wrong politics. It's such a scandal. If this had happened in another country,

00:24:03.800 one that seems a little less progressive, the carny liberals would be losing their marbles. 0.51

00:24:10.680 If they did this in the United States, oh my goodness, we would not be able to shut up Melanie

00:24:15.960 Jolie over it. But because they did it to our conservatives, small-c conservatives, nobody seems 1.00

00:24:24.120 to care. Yeah. It would be, oh, look again, Donald Trump and his war on democracy. Right. That would be

00:24:30.360 the narrative. But Sheila, FCC was the exception to the rule. The other insurers said, no, we're not

00:24:37.960 going to do that. We are not going to cancel insurance policies of good customers who pay their

00:24:44.440 premiums in full. Why would we do that? Right. They're not an insurance risk. They only care about

00:24:50.200 risk, financial risk, insurance risk. But the liberals wanted them to care about political risk

00:24:57.640 to the liberals, which was fine for Farm Credit Canada. If the conservatives ever get in power,

00:25:02.920 that whole organization should be gutted. I totally agree. So, and my end point,

00:25:09.080 if the insurance companies, aside from FCC, didn't go along like trained seals, taking orders from

00:25:17.720 Fraulein, Freeland and Blackface, then the big banks could have also said, take a long walk off a

00:25:24.120 short period. Sure they could. But they didn't. They were too eager to comply. And you know,

00:25:30.520 Sheila, to this day, I will never forget the look on Fraulein Freeland's face. She couldn't contain

00:25:38.840 her smile. She was like jumping up and down like she was going to her sweet 16 party. She was relishing

00:25:46.440 in economically penalizing law abiding tax paying Canadians. What a disgrace.

00:25:53.720 She cackled as she did it. I'll never forget that. Yeah. We've got a video from Eric St. Pierre.

00:26:00.600 He posted a two minute montage of the convoy footage along with his personal anecdote of how the

00:26:06.120 movement helped him during those times. We had a lot of people say,

00:26:11.400 I saw the freedom convoy and I didn't feel crazy. I didn't feel alone. Because a lot of I mean,

00:26:20.600 that was the whole point is to keep people apart, keep them from talking to each other. Let's show this.

00:26:25.560 And then we'll show what the conservative leader has to say.

00:26:34.120 Your country's in revolt. Do you know about this? Show this video.

00:26:41.400 Keep watching here.

00:26:46.120 You were babbling.

00:26:49.800 Those who refused will have a huge contribution of Another

00:26:52.920 volunteer.

00:26:54.360 It was our footage.

00:26:57.480 who don't believe in science, who are often misogynist, often racist.

00:27:27.480 They give us back all of our freedoms and rights.

00:27:35.480 Every overcast is packed with Canadians. 1.00

00:27:40.480 Look at us right here.

00:27:46.480 God bless Canada.

00:27:52.480 God bless every single one of you truckers

00:27:55.480 and every single one of the Canadians that are supporting this group.

00:27:59.480 This is not a fringe.

00:28:02.480 We will not be divided.

00:28:05.480 We stand together.

00:28:06.480 We will win this country back.

00:28:20.480 I was at a point where I was giving up on Canada

00:28:22.480 and you guys have given me hope.

00:28:25.480 You guys are giving us strength.

00:28:27.480 You guys are keeping us going.

00:28:29.480 And wow, we are one big team.

00:28:31.480 One big national team.

00:28:33.480 The entire world is watching us.

00:28:35.480 I firmly believe this is our last stand.

00:28:39.480 And we are not coming home until you are all free.

00:28:42.480 You know, as I watched that, I realized why they want seven years for Tamera Nate for Chris.

00:28:59.480 Up until that very moment, the Liberals had faced basically zero opposition.

00:29:10.480 Tamara and Chris and what they built together became the single greatest opposition movement to the Liberals that they had faced in at that point, I think eight years, seven years, whatever.

00:29:21.480 They're being politically punished for that.

00:29:24.480 They were more effective than anything the conservative official conservatives had ever done.

00:29:32.480 And it started with only grassroots momentum.

00:29:36.480 They were able to out fundraise everybody.

00:29:38.480 Canadians who had felt alone, segregated and gas lit realized what was happening to them, how they had been lied to.

00:29:49.480 And and it was that moment where the vaccinated and the unvaccinated realized actually that we're all in this together, that we should not be held apart from each other.

00:30:02.480 And whatever medical choices we've made, our own our own business and not the government or our bartender or hockey coach that watching that, you know, that is why they want seven years and eight years is because the Liberals can never have that happen to them again.

00:30:22.480 You are 100 percent right, Sheila.

00:30:23.480 And by the way, I just want to comment on that three minute montage that we saw.

00:30:29.480 You know, it brings in mind the the tagline on the poster for the the horror movie Phantasm circa 1979.

00:30:38.480 Namely, if this one doesn't scare you, you're already dead.

00:30:42.480 Just brilliant.

00:30:44.480 If that three minutes of footage doesn't give you goosebumps, well, check your pulse.

00:30:50.480 That was unbelievable what happened in that point in history in Canada in late January and through February.

00:31:01.480 And, you know, Sheila, to those who say, yeah, but what did it accomplish?

00:31:07.480 You occupied Ottawa for three and a half weeks.

00:31:09.480 You honked your horns.

00:31:10.480 But what happened?

00:31:12.480 Well, I'll tell you one tangible thing to your original point off the hopper, Sheila, it got rid of O'Toole.

00:31:19.480 Get rid of O'Toole.

00:31:20.480 That was his death knell, his weak-kneed indecision.

00:31:26.480 And the party, thankfully, threw him out.

00:31:30.480 I'm only amazed it wasn't a unanimous vote.

00:31:32.480 I would love to know those MPs that did vote for him, but I understand it's a secret vote.

00:31:37.480 So, yeah, getting rid of O'Toole and bringing in Pierre Poliev, thank you very much, Freedom Convoy 2022.

00:31:47.480 Not just did it get rid of O'Toole.

00:31:49.480 It brought in a different, bolder brand of conservatism.

00:31:53.480 Yes.

00:31:54.480 I think it led to the end, besides all of our hard work holding them to account,

00:32:00.480 it led to the end of Jason Kenney in Alberta.

00:32:02.480 Now we have Daniel Smith, who is really leading the way on major cultural and economic issues in this country.

00:32:12.480 It liberated Albertans from Jason Kenney's vaccine passport that definitely, most definitely wasn't a vaccine passport, according to him.

00:32:21.480 The vaccine passport dropped before the freedom, like, as the Freedom Convoy crossed 50th Street in Lloydminster, 0.66

00:32:28.480 going from Alberta to Saskatchewan.

00:32:30.480 Scott Moe in Saskatchewan is like, you know what?

00:32:32.480 We don't need a vaccine passport here anymore.

00:32:35.480 Don't convoy me, bro.

00:32:37.480 It changed a lot of things in this country.

00:32:40.480 It changed the kind of conservatism.

00:32:43.480 We don't have that scaredy cat, mushy middle, Aaron O'Toole style conservatism in this country anymore.

00:32:51.480 And that is directly related to the Freedom Convoy.

00:32:55.480 And they should be proud of themselves for it.

00:32:57.480 Of course, as always, Sheila, there are statistical anomalies such as Doug Ford, the so-called conservative Premier of Ontario.

00:33:06.480 That's the shadow of Aaron O'Toole, I would argue.

00:33:10.480 By the way, since it is National Junk Food Day, do you think Premier Ford is having an extra slice of cherry cheesecake today, Sheila?

00:33:16.480 Just wondering.

00:33:17.480 I'm sure he's probably splitting his cherry cheesecake from a can with Mark Carney.

00:33:24.480 One of the laziest cheesecake I've ever seen in my life.

00:33:27.480 It was horrible.

00:33:28.480 It was.

00:33:29.480 It was just dumping canned stuff into a pie plate. 1.00

00:33:34.480 It was stupid. 1.00

00:33:36.480 Good. 1.00

00:33:37.480 Um, Pierre Polyev, now speaking of a different brand of conservatism, imagine Aaron O'Toole saying these things, right?

00:33:44.480 Oh, no.

00:33:45.480 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:33:47.480 He says, let me get this straight.

00:33:50.480 While rampant violent offenders are released hours after getting their most recent charges and anti-Semitic rioters vandalize businesses, terrorize daycares and block traffic without consequences.

00:34:04.480 The Crown won seven years prison time for the charge of mischief for Leach and Barber.

00:34:09.480 Actually, it's eight for Barber and the destruction of his livelihood.

00:34:14.480 How is this justice?

00:34:16.480 Um, I'm glad he said it.

00:34:19.480 I'm glad he said it.

00:34:21.480 Uh, it's, uh, it's outrageous.

00:34:25.480 Um, and you know, he, the reason he's the leader is because of those two.

00:34:29.480 Isn't it so refreshing?

00:34:31.480 And to your point, can you imagine Aaron O'Toole saying this?

00:34:35.480 Let's see what Aaron O'Toole is talking about today.

00:34:37.480 No.

00:34:38.480 And you know, cause I'll never forget, uh, once he was shown the door, it was like New Year's Day, 2023.

00:34:46.480 Aaron O'Toole published that essay of, um, the lack of decorum in politics.

00:34:53.480 You know, these people waving F Trudeau flags.

00:34:57.480 Oh, it's so nasty.

00:35:00.480 It's so shameful.

00:35:02.480 This is from the, the freshly departed conservative leader.

00:35:06.480 He's worried about F Trudeau flags.

00:35:09.480 That's why he is the ex leader, Sheila.

00:35:12.480 Yeah.

00:35:13.480 He's, uh, he has basically tweeted nothing about crime in this country.

00:35:21.480 Um, anyway.

00:35:24.480 Yeah.

00:35:25.480 But you know what?

00:35:26.480 It was so nice to see O'Toole get scorched for that position.

00:35:29.480 Yeah.

00:35:30.480 I'm glad.

00:35:32.480 He just, he never learns.

00:35:34.480 And that's the thing.

00:35:36.480 These like recently shown the door, conservative leaders, leaders, failed conservative leaders.

00:35:45.480 They don't know enough to shut up.

00:35:47.480 Jason, Kenny, I'm talking to you.

00:35:49.480 You don't have advice to give anybody.

00:35:52.480 You were run out of Alberta as a conservative.

00:35:56.480 That's a real accomplishment, actually.

00:36:00.480 Uh, cause you know, you could run a sack of potatoes in a blue jersey and we'll vote for them.

00:36:07.480 And yet he was run out of town on a rail, um, for not being conservative enough. 0.95

00:36:12.480 So why don't you shut up, you guys? 1.00

00:36:14.480 Just shut up. 1.00

00:36:15.480 Go away and shame. 1.00

00:36:16.480 Sheila.

00:36:17.480 These people don't have any shame.

00:36:19.480 What, what happened to that guy?

00:36:20.480 I, I never would have dreamt it.

00:36:22.480 You know what?

00:36:23.480 It is.

00:36:24.480 It's the thing to talk about stuff and talk about the big ideas of conservatism, religious freedom, all that stuff.

00:36:31.480 It's real easy to talk about it.

00:36:33.480 It's tougher to do it.

00:36:36.480 Like, and he just didn't do it.

00:36:40.480 Like, I believe in religious freedom.

00:36:43.480 That's why I, and not just for myself as a Catholic, but I spent a lot of time in Protestant churches who are fighting against the lockdown.

00:36:53.480 You know, you just can't fight for your own tribe.

00:36:56.480 You have to fight for the idea for everybody's tribe.

00:36:59.480 And he just couldn't do it, which means that he was completely insincere in his belief.

00:37:04.480 He believed in it as a theory, but he, when he was the guy that had to practice it, couldn't do it.

00:37:10.480 You know what?

00:37:11.480 I think that's the best analysis I've heard of what happened.

00:37:15.480 Cause I always used to believe what, um, uh, Mr. Kenny was selling.

00:37:20.480 Uh, but when push came to shove, uh, I think you're right.

00:37:23.480 Um, he didn't have the stomach to do the right thing.

00:37:26.480 No, no, he's just a theorist and not a doer.

00:37:29.480 Um, and those people are best left to academics and not politics.

00:37:34.480 Um, let's, uh, do we need to hit an ad break?

00:37:37.480 Efron will come back into the Toronto.

00:37:39.480 We'll touch briefly on the Toronto teen killer, which we can't talk a lot about now because, uh, he's been captured.

00:37:51.480 Do you want to hit it?

00:37:56.480 Oh, uh, Efron tells me that Andrew Lawton, sorry, just staying on the Tamera Leach thing, even though we're 43 minutes into the Tamera Leach thing.

00:38:06.480 Andrew Lawton.

00:38:07.480 Andrew Lawton.

00:38:08.480 So Andrew Lawton, we love Andrew.

00:38:11.480 We do.

00:38:12.480 Uh, formerly, formerly at True North.

00:38:14.480 He stars in our documentary about medical assistance and dying.

00:38:18.480 Um, and Andrew is now the conservative MP for London.

00:38:24.480 Worked his butt off for that spot too, by the way.

00:38:27.480 He says the prosecution of Tamera Leach and Chris Barber has been excessive and vindictive.

00:38:33.480 Vindictive is a great word to describe it.

00:38:35.480 The crown is seeking a seven year sentence aid for Chris for a three week peaceful protest almost three and a half years ago.

00:38:41.480 All while violent offenders are given slaps on the wrist.

00:38:44.480 He goes on to say this prosecution has taken over three years of judicial resources.

00:38:48.480 While some offenders have walked because their cases weren't heard in time.

00:38:51.480 What a great point.

00:38:52.480 To add insult to injury.

00:38:54.480 The crown is seeking to seize Chris Barber's truck.

00:38:57.480 This serves no purpose other than spite.

00:39:00.480 Oh yeah.

00:39:01.480 Completely.

00:39:02.480 Completely.

00:39:03.480 Yes.

00:39:04.480 Thank you, Andrew.

00:39:05.480 100%.

00:39:06.480 Yeah.

00:39:07.480 Andrew's doing a great job.

00:39:08.480 And by the way, Sheila, I urge our viewers to seek out Andrew Lawton's book about the Freedom Convoy.

00:39:15.480 It is superb.

00:39:16.480 Um, he really was on the ground.

00:39:19.480 Yep.

00:39:20.480 It's a fantastic piece of journalism.

00:39:22.480 And, um, he's just hitting it out of the ballpark so far, isn't he?

00:39:26.480 No.

00:39:27.480 If you're a gun owner, he's great.

00:39:29.480 Oh, the public safety minister being questioned by Andrew Lawton.

00:39:34.480 Andrew Lawton, who is a licensed firearm owner.

00:39:39.480 Um, was just given it to Gary and Anna Sangri, who doesn't even know the classifications of firearms in this country.

00:39:45.480 It seems like it's an important file if you're the public safety minister.

00:39:49.480 Considering that they're in the midst of a gun grab, you might want to know what the classifications are. 0.95

00:39:54.480 Um, but he didn't and, uh, Andrew just made him look like an absolute buffoon in the House of Commons. 0.81

00:40:01.480 It was a real delight.

00:40:03.480 Um, Efron, do you, do we want to hit an ad break or do we want to just keep going?

00:40:09.480 Okay.

00:40:10.480 He says just keep going.

00:40:11.480 Okay.

00:40:12.480 So we have to be careful about what we're going to talk about now because up until a day ago, this young person's name was in the public domain.

00:40:23.480 And the reason it was in the public domain is because there was judicial authorization to identify the young person.

00:40:30.480 Why? Because he was on the lam for allegedly killing a 71 year old lady.

00:40:36.480 Um, so now his photograph and name can no longer be published or broadcast.

00:40:41.480 We have to be very careful about the circumstances of the things we're talking about.

00:40:45.480 But, um, he was, uh, this, uh, it was male youth of Toronto, age 14, has been charged with second degree murder.

00:41:00.480 Um, and, uh, he had released an Instagram live video, which we're not going to show on why he allegedly murdered the lady in the parking lot as she was putting away her groceries.

00:41:12.480 And according to him, it's because she wouldn't let him steal her car.

00:41:17.480 Yeah.

00:41:18.480 And, and Sheila on that note of this little thug, uh, posting this on social media, do we really need to use the a word allegedly the guy implicated himself?

00:41:32.480 He put himself at the scene of the crime.

00:41:35.480 Uh, he basically admitted, uh, to the murder of the 71 year old grandmother.

00:41:41.480 Uh, he offered a motive, wouldn't give him the car keys.

00:41:46.480 So, um, I don't know.

00:41:48.480 I don't know.

00:41:49.480 I know until he's being proven guilty, you know, typically you got to use allegedly, but wow.

00:41:54.480 Um, talk about a slam dunk case, but you know what?

00:41:58.480 This is a case where this creature should be, uh, tried as an adult, but he won't be.

00:42:07.480 And again, the Supreme court of Canada showing again, how on the wrong side of the people, they are, they have made it.

00:42:17.480 It's essentially impossible for the prosecutor to charge a young offender as a, um, uh, uh, as an adult.

00:42:28.480 Yeah.

00:42:29.480 And I can't remember, Sheila, is he being charged with first or second degree murder?

00:42:33.480 Second degree murder.

00:42:34.480 Yeah.

00:42:35.480 I have a problem with that. 1.00

00:42:36.480 Um, it's give me your car or I'll kill you. 1.00

00:42:39.480 Pardon me? 0.98

00:42:40.480 In the United States, this was actually felony murder in many states.

00:42:43.480 Yeah.

00:42:44.480 If he dies in the commission of a felony, that's felony murder.

00:42:47.480 That's the execution chamber for you.

00:42:50.480 Um, but in Canada, this is just second degree murder.

00:42:53.480 It gets bumped down for some reason.

00:42:55.480 Yeah.

00:42:56.480 Well, maybe they'll do the right thing and bump it up.

00:42:58.480 But the fact is I will be shocked if even this meets the benchmark of, uh, him being tried as an adult.

00:43:07.480 It's not going to happen.

00:43:08.480 And in a few years, this little punk.

00:43:11.480 21.

00:43:12.480 Probably he'll be out.

00:43:13.480 He'll be out.

00:43:14.480 You won't know his name.

00:43:16.480 Uh, although I would say this, Sheila, um, now that we have social media, I think if you're really were a bit of an internet sleuth, you could find his picture and his name.

00:43:27.480 Uh, not that difficultly.

00:43:30.480 So, um, there's that.

00:43:32.480 But, you know, certainly if we were to say anything, uh, if we were to show you his image, if you were to say his name, uh, oh, they would throw the book at us, Sheila.

00:43:43.480 Uh, oh boy.

00:43:45.480 Because, and again, this is, you know, we talked about this on Friday when it comes to the young offenders act, then replaced by an even worse act, the criminal youth justice act.

00:43:56.480 Um, I believe in second chances, you know, a kid goes on a joy ride.

00:44:02.480 Sure.

00:44:03.480 Somebody shoplifts, you know, a necktie at a store. 0.99

00:44:06.480 This is a psychopath. 0.99

00:44:07.480 Yeah. 0.99

00:44:08.480 This is a danger.

00:44:09.480 Yeah.

00:44:10.480 Um, this is something completely different.

00:44:12.480 This is not a youthful indiscretion.

00:44:14.480 Uh, we have the transcript of the, uh, video that he posted to Instagram live about what he was doing when he killed this lady.

00:44:24.480 And I'm sorry, my computer does not quite understand the weird Toronto dialect that has developed over the last 10 years.

00:44:33.480 And anybody from outside of Toronto, I think you know what I'm talking about.

00:44:38.480 You can sort of hear there's a little bit of a thug, something happening there.

00:44:43.480 And I don't, there's, I don't know, but there's a strange Toronto dialect and I've actually read some linguistic articles about it that is developing very recently.

00:44:52.480 And I say, this is somebody with a strong Alberta accent.

00:44:55.480 So this is no, like a, not a condemnation of Toronto.

00:44:58.480 Although I have reasons to condemn Toronto.

00:45:00.480 This just isn't one of them.

00:45:01.480 Um, he said, and I, I can't quote it verbatim because I said, my computer doesn't understand this, um, random throwing in the word fam into places that this young man does.

00:45:14.480 But he said he was trying to get her car, uh, but she didn't give me the keys.

00:45:20.480 So I yoked her, she said.

00:45:23.480 Uh, so he admits that he just, just killed her.

00:45:29.480 He said, I basically goes on to say, um, it was, I didn't mean to kill her, but you did kill her and then take her keys in the commission of a crime.

00:45:40.480 You killed a woman who, uh, somebody's grandma who was trying to bring her groceries into the house.

00:45:45.480 He butchered her with a knife, Sheila.

00:45:47.480 Yeah, I know.

00:45:48.480 Yeah.

00:45:49.480 You know what?

00:45:50.480 The liberals will say, Oh, come on.

00:45:51.480 Boys will be boys.

00:45:52.480 I guess.

00:45:53.480 Right.

00:45:54.480 Systemic racism.

00:45:55.480 And he grew up in a bad environment. 0.90

00:45:58.480 So, um, apparently poor people don't know, uh, right from wrong, which is just internalistic nonsense.

00:46:06.480 You raise a really good point.

00:46:07.480 I really want to know what his backstory is.

00:46:10.480 Uh, is he being raised, uh, by two parents or is it, uh, a single mother perhaps?

00:46:17.480 Um, and I know. 0.90

00:46:19.480 I don't give a damn. 0.83

00:46:20.480 I don't give a damn. 0.78

00:46:21.480 I didn't grow up wealthy.

00:46:23.480 In fact, I grew up before the beneath the poverty line.

00:46:26.480 Um, I was raised by a single mother.

00:46:29.480 My dad died when I was nine.

00:46:30.480 It was no, nobody left.

00:46:32.480 He died.

00:46:33.480 Uh, there's no excuse for not knowing right from wrong. 1.00

00:46:37.480 This elitist nonsense that poor people don't know what is right and what is wrong is absolute garbage. 0.97

00:46:44.480 And I'm tired of being used in the criminal justice system to make poor people less safe. 0.99

00:46:49.480 Because when these lunatics get released from prison, guess where they go?

00:46:54.480 Right back to the underprivileged neighborhoods they came from. 0.97

00:46:57.480 And the people there trying to crawl their way up out of whatever systemic nonsense they're dealing with.

00:47:03.480 They are the ones who have to deal with these people.

00:47:06.480 Not the people in the fancy houses in the fancy neighborhoods with the fancy streets in the well-groomed yards.

00:47:11.480 It's the people on the cusp who have to keep dealing with this nonsense.

00:47:14.480 Sheila, I, I hear what you're saying loud and clear.

00:47:17.480 I know you don't give a damn and neither do I of the extenuating circumstances. 0.85

00:47:22.480 My question is, does his parents give a damn? 0.66

00:47:26.480 Right. 0.90

00:47:27.480 And I think that's an important question.

00:47:28.480 Sure it is.

00:47:29.480 Yep.

00:47:30.480 Sure it is. 1.00

00:47:31.480 Um, and again, once again, just because you're poor doesn't mean you get to be a garbage parent. 0.99

00:47:36.480 Oh, I totally agree. 0.96

00:47:38.480 Like, like, it's just, uh, I don't know.

00:47:41.480 I, I just, I don't appreciate the excuses, uh, about, uh, socioeconomic class warfare that will be made on behalf of this young man to justify his butchery of somebody's grandma.

00:47:55.480 Uh, okay.

00:47:56.480 Now we know what I think about, uh, the totem pole of grievances.

00:48:00.480 Let's, uh, move ahead because, uh, what is this from Leviathan?

00:48:07.480 Thank goodness.

00:48:08.480 Uh, doing great work out there on X.

00:48:10.480 If you don't follow Leviathan, you definitely should.

00:48:13.480 Uh, they cover a lot of these, well, not a lot of them.

00:48:17.480 Primarily that's what they cover is anti-Semitic, uh, protests, nonsense activists within the anti-Semitic pro-Hamas movement post October 7th.

00:48:25.480 Um, aerial footage of the 11 arrests that occurred in Toronto show a clear view of how Toronto police conducted their finally, long overdue, crackdown on terrorist sympathizers in a contained zone.

00:48:43.460 Let's see.

00:48:44.460 Oh, the horses are coming out for something other than barbecues.

00:48:47.460 Good to hear.

00:48:48.460 Oh, theaters are talking!

00:48:53.460 Everyone!

00:48:58.460 mom! 0.97

00:48:59.960 All you want to hear me!

00:49:09.460 How are they screaming?

00:49:10.040 What – which is the police?

00:49:11.460 I haven't seen the cops in Toronto move that fast

00:49:37.460 since they were arresting anti-mandate progesters.

00:49:44.240 Wow.

00:49:45.380 So Sheila, let me get this straight.

00:49:47.440 When you say 11 arrests, we're talking about the Hamas holes getting arrested, 1.00

00:49:51.780 not peaceful counter-demonstrators or citizens passing by and giving the finger

00:49:57.540 because they're tired of being gridlocked in traffic or independent journalists. 0.99

00:50:01.980 They're actually arresting the shite disturbers for a change. 0.99

00:50:06.680 Unbelievable. 1.00

00:50:08.180 Yeah, let's look at this.

00:50:10.760 So this is from the, and I'm going to struggle with some names, everybody.

00:50:16.440 I'll let you know in advance.

00:50:19.320 This is a Toronto Police Service.

00:50:21.020 This is their press release.

00:50:25.180 It is alleged a large group of individuals took part in a demonstration in the downtown core.

00:50:28.920 Police issued lawful direction for participants to clear intersections

00:50:32.160 and keep the demonstration moving to reduce traffic congestion.

00:50:35.220 So they weren't even actually trying to break up the protest.

00:50:38.080 They just said you can't occupy an intersection so that you have obstructed traffic four ways.

00:50:45.600 The police directed the group to disperse and move to the sidewalk.

00:50:52.360 They became aggressive, assaulted officers while resisting police efforts to restore order.

00:50:57.180 The following individuals were arrested and charged at the scene.

00:50:59.780 Ghassan Abulawi, 30, of Toronto, was charged with obstruction of a peace officer failure to comply.

00:51:06.680 Deidre Cahill, it's a very Anglo-sounding name, 43 of Oakville.

00:51:15.820 Oh, this is one of those cat moms. 1.00

00:51:18.860 A normal 43-year-old on the weekend, 43-year-old woman should be doing stuff with her kids, 1.00

00:51:24.460 not protesting on a street corner with the Hamas jerks. 0.95

00:51:28.020 Um, but her cat's probably able to take care of himself on a Sunday and a Saturday. 0.89

00:51:34.200 Um, she's charged with mischief and interference with property. 1.00

00:51:38.580 Um, Anna Ellergott, 28 of Toronto, is charged with obstruction of a peace officer, assault of a peace officer.

00:51:45.960 How much do you want to bet she's going to get far less than Tamara Leach? 1.00

00:51:49.660 Um, we've got Yusuf Al-Izada, 32, of Toronto, obstruction of a peace officer, possession of a prohibited weapon.

00:51:59.500 Wow.

00:52:00.320 And carried a concealed weapon.

00:52:03.660 That's not good.

00:52:05.320 Uh, Noor Abu Ali, 28, of Mississauga, was charged with obstruction.

00:52:09.440 Thomas Butko, 38, of Georgina, was charged with two counts of assaulting a peace officer.

00:52:14.340 Salim Alaoua, 28, of Burlington, was charged with assaulting a peace officer, causing a disturbance,

00:52:19.960 mischief to interfere with property.

00:52:21.860 Adam Diabas, 26, of Brampton, was charged with obstruction of a peace officer.

00:52:27.820 They're all scheduled to appear September 8th.

00:52:31.360 Um, then Leslie Solomonian, 47, of Toronto, obstruction of peace officer.

00:52:38.580 Jameel Nasser, of Windsor, charged with obstruction of a peace officer, assault of peace officer.

00:52:42.620 Those ones are appearing the, on the 12th, um, in court.

00:52:51.440 So, uh, that's a violent protest.

00:52:55.900 Lots of assaulting a peace officer, obstructing a peace officer, carrying a concealed weapon,

00:53:02.660 carrying a prohibited weapon, probably the same weapon, they just, two charges, two different

00:53:07.100 ways on that.

00:53:07.760 Um, uh, than your general mischief and assault, or, uh, yeah, your general mischief and interference

00:53:15.440 with property.

00:53:16.260 So this seems far more violent than anything the convoy did.

00:53:20.360 And yet, these guys were probably out on bail that afternoon, and they will never see the

00:53:24.400 inside of a jail cell.

00:53:25.580 Well, uh, Sheila, I guess I know what my assignments are on September 8th and September 12th.

00:53:31.660 Yeah, there's another, I think there's another one too, uh, uh, that might, yeah, sorry, those are the

00:53:40.100 only dates that I have right now.

00:53:41.680 The 8th and the 12th.

00:53:42.640 You are, um, Ontario Court of Justice both days, please.

00:53:47.000 You know, uh, that's a little disturbing, uh, carrying the weapons, isn't it?

00:53:52.200 And, you know, I say that in the context of, in May, we had the, uh, Walk with Israel march.

00:53:59.000 And, um, it was right in front of me.

00:54:01.680 And there were police right there.

00:54:03.640 And it was an individual, Sheila, with a grenade.

00:54:07.600 Is it a real grenade?

00:54:09.180 Is it a replica grenade?

00:54:10.760 Is it a toy grenade?

00:54:12.080 I don't know.

00:54:12.880 But do you think that when you have somebody where all messed up and he's part of team

00:54:19.040 Hamas hole, and there are literally, um, almost 60,000 Jews marching by, uh, within an arms 0.62

00:54:28.220 throw of, um, you know, this, uh, you know, potential, uh, explosive device.

00:54:34.660 Do you think maybe the police, uh, would, um, talk to that fellow, uh, have them surrender?

00:54:41.180 There, uh, there it is.

00:54:43.080 There's the photo.

00:54:44.500 Nothing.

00:54:45.980 How dare they just assume that that is just a replica that's not real.

00:54:53.780 And you can't assume, I would argue, Sheila, post 9-11, you have to, uh, prepare for the

00:55:01.160 worst.

00:55:01.680 And I was speaking to the police officers.

00:55:04.040 They would not even acknowledge my questions.

00:55:06.780 I said, what are you going to do?

00:55:08.460 Aren't you going to check it out?

00:55:09.640 Nope, nothing.

00:55:12.260 So now that they have arrested, uh, members of this ilk and they have found them to be

00:55:19.000 weaponized, uh, maybe we have to be, you know, take a harder look at this.

00:55:23.780 So I guess the question is, Sheila, come this weekend, are they going to be up to their regular

00:55:30.180 shenanigans or did this send a message?

00:55:33.040 Or maybe we have to send a louder message.

00:55:36.080 We have to get the, uh, paddy wagons out and do mass arrests, you know, because I'm telling

00:55:42.780 you, I think I speak for all of Toronto when I say, get the hell off the street.

00:55:47.240 You know, front and Spadina, that's around the Skydome area.

00:55:51.460 And when there was a baseball game and there was that day, traffic is already gridlock enough,

00:56:00.080 Sheila. 0.99

00:56:00.540 So when you have these jerks doing their demonstration and, oh, I forgot they have a right to prayer, 0.99

00:56:07.160 you see, uh, even though there's a mosque within walking distance. 0.99

00:56:10.400 It doesn't matter.

00:56:11.300 You can pray with this.

00:56:12.100 Look, this is Canada.

00:56:13.200 We can pray wherever we want, but you don't get to block the street.

00:56:16.920 Like if I was out in the middle of the street, saying the rosary, the police would whack me

00:56:20.820 and stab me. 0.66

00:56:21.780 Yeah. 0.96

00:56:22.280 And rightfully so.

00:56:24.480 Um, you, you can't obstruct traffic.

00:56:28.680 Go on the sidewalk, pray till your heart's content on the sidewalk.

00:56:32.560 I will actually fight for your right to pray on the sidewalk.

00:56:36.100 Um, but this is just a show of supremacy.

00:56:40.940 And I think we will need a few more weekends of arrests for this to, uh, maybe dissipate

00:56:48.260 a little bit.

00:56:48.780 And I'm curious, and I suppose you'll find out when you're in attendance at court, what

00:56:53.220 do they mean by prohibited weapon?

00:56:54.580 Cause that can mean a lot of things.

00:56:55.960 Oh yeah.

00:56:56.520 It could be a taser.

00:56:58.000 It could be a switchblade.

00:57:00.020 It could be pepper spray.

00:57:01.420 It could be a firearm.

00:57:02.860 It can be a lot of things.

00:57:04.840 Um, and I'm sure it could be, heck, it could be a grenade.

00:57:08.460 So I'm just curious.

00:57:09.320 And I think you're going to find out the details as you, uh, tune in for these court appearances.

00:57:14.260 No, but Sheila, on this business of the right to the constitutional right to prayer, which

00:57:19.820 the city of Toronto and the police have both released media statements about, I went back

00:57:25.280 to the city and I said, yes, I agree.

00:57:28.740 Canadians have a constitutional right to pray, but you do not have a constitutional right.

00:57:34.840 To block the street as you pray.

00:57:38.300 And the response I got back from the city of Toronto, Sheila was we stand by our statement.

00:57:44.820 Yeah, of course.

00:57:45.760 Well, you know what?

00:57:48.400 Let's see more weekends like this.

00:57:50.740 That's what I want to see.

00:57:51.820 I think that's what most Torontonians want to see too.

00:57:55.000 Now, uh, before we hit an ad break, we're already at the end of the show, but we have

00:57:58.560 a few more things we need to touch on because they ended up in the YouTube headline and we

00:58:01.480 got some chats to get to also.

00:58:04.060 Um, this is a big scoop from us.

00:58:07.460 Uh, well, from me actually.

00:58:10.320 Um, from, I think it was last Friday.

00:58:14.060 Scoop.

00:58:14.500 RCMP had zero briefings on anti-Semitism in 2024, even as the tax on Jew byrocketed.

00:58:22.420 Um, can you like, and so now I've done some investigating and I'll let you know how this

00:58:29.880 compares to other religious groups that everybody seems to be pretty concerned about all the

00:58:36.000 time.

00:58:36.220 Uh, I'm going to see how many RCMP briefings were on Islamophobia versus how they treated

00:58:43.640 the Jews.

00:58:44.320 And what is important is, uh, that there is, uh, a skyrocketing amount of attacks on Jews.

00:58:53.520 Um, Benai Brith recorded 5,791 anti-Semitic incidents in 2023, 109% increase from the year

00:59:02.200 before.

00:59:02.620 However, physical violence against Jews more than tripled while incidents of harassment

00:59:07.500 and vandalism skyrocketed.

00:59:09.180 Toronto police, 203 hate crimes between October, 2023 and just early 2024.

00:59:14.860 So in just a few months, 56 of them were at 56%.

00:59:18.420 So over half of all hate crimes were targeted at Jews in Toronto.

00:59:23.200 Oh, and Sheila, if I may.

00:59:25.280 The Jewish girls schools.

00:59:26.460 Yeah.

00:59:26.680 Sorry.

00:59:26.980 Yeah.

00:59:27.100 Um, it is all the more appalling when you consider

00:59:32.260 the percentage of Jews in Canada, basically Canada wide, you're talking about 1%.

00:59:38.100 In Toronto, it's about 4%.

00:59:40.060 So that makes those numbers even more amplified than they already are.

00:59:47.200 Right.

00:59:47.900 And then I went on to point out that the RCMP commissioner received brief things in 2024

00:59:52.300 on topics like diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, internal communications about climate

00:59:57.920 resiliency, and protest management strategies.

01:00:02.340 What about land acknowledgements?

01:00:04.840 Did they get training in that too?

01:00:07.240 Well, we know they do them before they give briefings on missing kids of all things.

01:00:12.000 Anyway, so that was a scoop from us.

01:00:16.280 And now I'm going to compare it to, uh, the Islamophobia briefings, and then I'm going

01:00:22.920 to do it on the, uh, churches also.

01:00:26.120 So we'll see.

01:00:26.900 I just want to see how things compare, um, where the focus is on.

01:00:31.060 Efron, do we want to hit an ad break?

01:00:32.460 Yeah.

01:00:34.680 Okay.

01:00:35.360 Well, in an ad break, we'll be right back for the last little bit of the show.

01:00:38.860 Oh, hi.

01:00:44.160 Independent journalism in Canada is under attack.

01:00:47.300 Government censors, big tech de-platformers, and the dying legacy media are all working together

01:00:54.220 to maintain exclusive control on the information you receive.

01:02:29.480 Gun bands make great distractions.

01:02:31.340 Trudeau may be gone, but Carney has picked up his same rhetoric.

01:02:34.540 We will quickly, and I mean quickly, reinvigorate the buyback of assault-style firearms.

01:02:41.160 Hunters, collectors, competitors, and defenders of tradition are still being targeted.

01:02:47.240 While criminals run wild under liberal policy.

01:02:55.400 But we are fighting back.

01:02:59.720 By delaying and dismantling unjust legislation.

01:03:03.220 By confronting policy at its source.

01:03:06.000 Like on the global stage at the United Nations.

01:03:08.920 Through our unmatched record of political lobbying.

01:03:11.660 And our Save Firearms Program.

01:03:15.480 Actively saving firearms from government crushers in real time.

01:03:20.960 And we're not done yet.

01:03:22.820 Join us.

01:03:24.360 Canada's National Firearms Association.

01:03:27.080 In defense of freedom.

01:03:29.140 Alberta powers Canada.

01:03:30.880 But Ottawa keeps limiting our potential.

01:03:33.540 The Alberta Next panel wants your ideas.

01:03:35.700 To strengthen our sovereignty within a united Canada.

01:03:38.220 Help decide what's next for Alberta. 0.69

01:03:41.060 Visit alberta.ca slash next.

01:03:45.280 All right.

01:03:46.960 I think we'll talk about Howard Lutnick.

01:03:50.980 Ragging on Canada.

01:03:52.540 And then let's do a couple of clips from the Paken podcast.

01:03:57.400 And then the Daily Cringe, Efron, if that works.

01:04:00.880 Howard Lutnick.

01:04:02.380 U.S. Commerce Secretary.

01:04:03.480 Speaks with CBS on the ongoing trade dispute with Canada.

01:04:06.840 And he's got some opinions on us.

01:04:12.100 And he's not alone.

01:04:14.060 But the mainstream media doesn't like to point out the other side of this.

01:04:18.940 Because they just are so anti-American in this country.

01:04:23.000 Elbows up.

01:04:23.900 Their prime minister said this past week there's not a lot of evidence they can get a trade deal with the U.S. that avoids tariffs.

01:04:35.280 Is your message to Canada, Mr. Secretary, that no matter what they offer at the negotiating table, free trade's gone, there will be a tariff in place?

01:04:46.120 No, see, that's silly.

01:04:50.180 We have a plan called USMCA, U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

01:04:56.300 Virtually 75% of all goods coming from Mexico and Canada already come in tariff-free.

01:05:02.060 The president said, look, unless you stop this fentanyl and close the border, we're just going to keep tariffs on the other 25%.

01:05:11.300 And that's what he has on.

01:05:12.800 So don't be confused about it.

01:05:14.980 The president understands that we need to open the markets.

01:05:18.760 Canada is not open to us.

01:05:20.740 They need to open their market.

01:05:23.280 Unless they're willing to open their market, they're going to pay a tariff.

01:05:26.760 That's a simple message the president has.

01:05:29.540 It's fair trade.

01:05:31.040 It's reciprocal trade.

01:05:32.960 Why should we have our country be wide open while theirs is closed?

01:05:38.080 This is an 80-year wrong that President Trump is trying to fix.

01:05:43.300 And our businesses are going to really, really enjoy it.

01:05:47.780 I think the president's going to open between $300 billion and $400 billion of opportunity for Americans.

01:05:55.640 That's 1.5%, up to 1.5% GDP growth because the president's going to open all these markets up.

01:06:03.240 You saw it with Vietnam. 0.99

01:06:04.900 You saw it with Indonesia. 1.00

01:06:06.700 You're going to watch all these other countries decide if they want to do business with America.

01:06:12.260 Let's just open our market up to America.

01:06:14.920 That's opportunity that President Trump is bringing.

01:06:17.140 Well, that's probably good.

01:06:19.480 David, I think we all know what he's talking about there, right?

01:06:22.480 Supply management.

01:06:24.160 100%.

01:06:24.520 And by the way, before we get into that, Sheila, can we come up with a new name for USMCA?

01:06:30.060 Every time I hear that, I almost expect to see a video depicting a cowboy, an Indian, a biker, and a construction worker doing a disco dance.

01:06:39.440 But anyway, no, you're right.

01:06:41.200 I think it's easier to say than the Canadian version of it.

01:06:44.180 It's like C-U-S-M-A or something.

01:06:47.660 I think the US version just rolls off the tongue a little better.

01:06:52.660 Yeah.

01:06:52.980 But no, you're right.

01:06:54.960 And we know that supply management in Canada is a political third rail.

01:07:01.760 Well, no political party except the PPC will talk about tampering with supply management.

01:07:08.960 Well, guess what?

01:07:10.120 We don't have cards to play.

01:07:12.760 If supply management is not going to be eliminated, and of course, this is the policy that affects dairy, eggs, turkey, and chicken, we're going to have to acquiesce, Sheila.

01:07:25.560 You can call Donald Trump a master negotiator, all about the art of the deal.

01:07:30.980 You can call him a bully.

01:07:32.280 It's irrelevant.

01:07:33.900 He has the cards.

01:07:35.700 He is the president of a country that is more than 10 times the size of Canada.

01:07:42.120 The carny liberals can fantasize about opening up new markets in Europe and Asia and abroad.

01:07:47.360 We'll talk about that.

01:07:48.500 Yeah.

01:07:48.960 We've heard this like forever and a day.

01:07:51.960 We're going to have to get to the table, and they're going to have to make concessions.

01:07:58.160 Maybe there's some way of the carny liberals saving face, that not eliminating supply management, but pretty much gouging it to the president's whims.

01:08:10.980 And you know what?

01:08:12.540 At the end of the day, Sheila, as a Canadian who looks at the prices of those four commodities compared to, I mean, you've made the comparison of the Costco in Washington State.

01:08:25.200 They call the Canadian shoppers the red plague, I think, because they flock down there to buy those commodities.

01:08:31.440 Well, then, isn't that getting rid of a tariff on Canadian consumers when you think about it?

01:08:36.780 Right.

01:08:39.200 And to be clear, this Soviet-style price-fixing scheme in supply management, and don't come at me.

01:08:48.160 Don't say I'm anti-farmer.

01:08:49.500 I'm a farmer, okay?

01:08:51.260 But the beef producers are figuring out how to get the other part of the cow to market just fine without government intervention.

01:08:59.900 But the U.K. has walked away from the CETA trade deal with Canada because of supply management.

01:09:11.860 So that deal has yet to be ratified.

01:09:14.240 I think it was negotiated back in 2018.

01:09:17.440 Supply management's the holdup.

01:09:19.040 The U.K., when they went to the G7, signed their trade deal that they had previously negotiated with the Americans.

01:09:29.400 So it's not like the U.K. is averse to getting trade deals done with unfriendly types like the Americans.

01:09:35.500 Supply management is the problem with all these trade deals. 0.58

01:09:40.440 And it is the reason we're getting our butts kicked with tariffs from the Americans.

01:09:45.120 There's a way to dismantle this.

01:09:47.120 Other countries have done it.

01:09:48.800 We need to start because other industries are being crushed by it.

01:09:53.960 Oh, and Sheila, when it comes to those tariffs, forget about 10%, 25%, 35%, 50% tariffs. 0.65

01:10:00.340 With certain dairy commodities, for a U.S. producer to bring their product to market here in Canada, how about 292% tariff?

01:10:11.600 Almost 300% tariff.

01:10:13.560 So I think they have a strong hand when it comes to the fairness case, Sheila.

01:10:20.460 For sure they do.

01:10:22.480 Let's move ahead to Daniel Smith, my premier, premier of Alberta, appearing on the Steve Pakin podcast.

01:10:32.020 Steve Pakin used to work at TVO.

01:10:34.680 Is he still there?

01:10:35.460 Did he retire?

01:10:36.720 You know what?

01:10:37.240 That's news to me.

01:10:38.140 I mean, and that tells you how often I watch TVO.

01:10:42.840 Precisely.

01:10:43.560 But you know what?

01:10:44.180 Steve Pakin, he's a good guy.

01:10:46.580 I'll give him that.

01:10:48.960 You know, I've met Steve and, you know, maybe a liberal.

01:10:53.940 I don't know.

01:10:54.700 But still, one of the good ones.

01:10:56.780 But I think what you're getting at is, was this where the premier, oh, there it is, to end after 19 seasons.

01:11:06.840 Wow.

01:11:07.640 That just tells you how relevant TVO is.

01:11:10.600 You know, it's bad enough we have a CBC, but why is our chief cherry cheesecake enthusiast still funding TVO?

01:11:20.840 So, isn't that, that goes completely against conservative ideals, but nevertheless.

01:11:28.540 It doesn't make any sense, by the way.

01:11:30.380 Like, in modern times, the premiers just do a podcast, or they just, like, sit down and talk to their media guy on YouTube.

01:11:40.720 But that's what we do in Alberta, and it doesn't actually cost the Alberta taxpayer anything.

01:11:45.260 But, yeah, we've got Smith on Steve Pakin's podcast.

01:11:53.040 Isn't it funny how Steve Pakin's talking to Albertans, even though he made his career at TVO?

01:11:58.280 And she says, for some reason, and they're talking about the CBC and the mainstream media,

01:12:04.540 they didn't want conservative voices, and they didn't want conservative viewers.

01:12:10.220 So, let's listen to this.

01:12:11.900 Wow.

01:12:12.420 Do you believe the institutions of this country, the courts, the media, the public service,

01:12:20.220 do they lean liberal and against conservatives, generally speaking?

01:12:24.460 Well, yeah.

01:12:25.220 I think CBC just demonstrated that in Spain.

01:12:28.040 They just had a major broadcaster quit with exactly that same, that same, Travis Danrage, I think.

01:12:33.960 Yeah, that's the allegation.

01:12:34.800 And he argued that he wasn't allowed to have the full range of perspective being represented.

01:12:42.940 We just had that happen recently with CBC.

01:12:45.300 In fact, I talked to my housing minister about it.

01:12:49.400 One of the reporters was asking him about some of our stats,

01:12:53.060 and we know that she contacted 12 people about our change in policy, didn't quote any of them,

01:12:57.060 because they agreed with us, and she went out of province to quote somebody who would criticize us.

01:13:01.240 So, I see that over and over and over again.

01:13:03.280 So, I think part of the reason why the decline in the mainstream media and the rise of alternative media

01:13:08.260 is because, for some reason, they decided they didn't want conservative voices and didn't want conservative viewers.

01:13:12.840 You know, Sheila, we don't deserve Daniel Smith.

01:13:19.600 You don't.

01:13:20.440 I think Albertans do.

01:13:23.620 She is 100% right.

01:13:25.080 She's also a former broadcaster herself.

01:13:28.020 She left Chorus because she wanted to talk a little bit more about lockdowns and the harm that it was having,

01:13:34.120 and she left Chorus and went her own way so that she could have those discussions.

01:13:40.080 So, she has seen both sides of this.

01:13:42.840 And just last week, this nonsense about mainstream media specifically ignoring

01:13:48.380 what conservatives are saying to fix their own agenda,

01:13:54.620 that happened with our library services announcement.

01:13:58.260 And I did a video on this because I could pull back the curtain and show you

01:14:03.500 how the mainstream media had to have purposefully got the library standards announcement wrong.

01:14:08.540 We were getting the smut and homosexual erotica out of our elementary school libraries. 0.99

01:14:17.140 And all the media got embargoed documents three hours in advance.

01:14:20.720 They were able to attend a press conference.

01:14:22.280 They were able to ask the experts questions.

01:14:24.060 And the embargoed documents specifically said this wouldn't affect, like, hand-holding,

01:14:29.900 breastfeeding, medical stuff, none of that, like, normal relationship, teen romance novel stuff.

01:14:36.860 It wouldn't affect any of that.

01:14:37.880 The media went and reported that it would.

01:14:41.900 And then it went, the lie went around the world before the truth was able to put its pants on.

01:14:47.220 It was so bad that the press secretary for the education minister had to issue, like,

01:14:52.880 a statement by four o'clock in the afternoon that,

01:14:57.100 why are you guys getting this wrong?

01:14:59.240 These are the embargoed documents.

01:15:00.940 So she knows that absolutely the media will go in search of someone who will agree with their agenda

01:15:08.360 and not quote the other sources.

01:15:10.320 They do it all the time.

01:15:11.560 A hundred percent.

01:15:12.440 And, you know, and good for Daniel Smith getting out of the Chorus Corporation.

01:15:18.020 You know, they run radio stations across the nation, the global TV affiliates.

01:15:22.240 Last time I looked, Sheila, just to show you how Chorus thinks it knows what it's doing,

01:15:27.520 I think their stock was trading at six cents a share,

01:15:30.700 which is why they need taxpayer welfare to turn the lights on.

01:15:36.780 Unbelievable.

01:15:38.120 Okay, we've got another clip from the Paken podcast.

01:15:41.920 Paken asked Premier Smith about Yves-Francois Blanchet

01:15:47.140 when he said that Alberta oil and gas isn't a culture.

01:15:53.720 Now, I would argue that it is a little bit.

01:15:55.920 The oil and gas sector does have its own sort of lingo,

01:15:59.720 its own colloquialisms, its own work ethic, its own sense of values.

01:16:06.060 But those are grown from the broader Alberta culture.

01:16:10.200 So even when he said that to try to make fun of us, he was actually wrong.

01:16:15.480 But Paken asked Premier Smith about that.

01:16:18.380 You mentioned Quebec.

01:16:19.240 I do want to get your view on Yves-Francois Blanchet's comments,

01:16:22.660 which you no doubt heard.

01:16:24.120 Asked if he had any tips for you in Alberta about asserting your sovereignty or separating.

01:16:29.780 He said,

01:16:30.120 What did you think when you heard that?

01:16:41.940 Well, maybe he should come out here during Stampede.

01:16:44.220 There is no one who has the 10-day celebration that we do.

01:16:47.500 And I mention it because it is so definitive of the Alberta culture.

01:16:52.300 Going back to our roots in how we developed,

01:16:55.400 we don't have the same founding story as Quebec does.

01:16:58.600 Our founding story began in 1905 when early settlers came and fur traded with the First Nations.

01:17:07.020 And then because we needed to populate it,

01:17:09.320 there was a call out to the world to come here and get free land.

01:17:12.480 And it was hard to develop it, whether it was for ranching or for farming.

01:17:16.300 But that culture that we celebrate every single year is important.

01:17:20.580 Because what I would say with the character of the Alberta people

01:17:24.400 is that they don't look to government to solve their problems.

01:17:27.460 They solve them themselves.

01:17:28.600 And they overcome some of the worst conditions,

01:17:31.080 some of the most extreme hardships.

01:17:33.060 And we keep on winning over and over and over again.

01:17:35.740 And so I think that what you see with the celebration of our Western heritage,

01:17:39.640 that's the celebration of our Western values.

01:17:41.760 And there's so much business that takes place

01:17:44.040 because every single year there's a new frontier.

01:17:47.160 We developed gas.

01:17:48.500 Then we developed oil.

01:17:49.500 Then we developed oil sands.

01:17:50.700 We're developing hydrogen.

01:17:51.780 We're looking towards nuclear.

01:17:53.340 We're developing carbon capture.

01:17:54.660 We're developing data centers.

01:17:55.880 I think those things are linked.

01:17:57.260 And when people do come here and they see what a merit-based society we have built,

01:18:01.460 a welcoming place where people from around the world can celebrate their own culture and heritage,

01:18:06.040 but they embrace the Alberta heritage and culture, yeah, we already have that.

01:18:10.580 You know, Sheila, the audacity of Blanchet to say those comments, it's off the charts. 1.00

01:18:19.800 And I'll tell you what really is going on here.

01:18:22.640 It's envy.

01:18:24.060 In the early 80s and the mid-90s, Quebec had a referendum for separation.

01:18:29.780 They failed each time.

01:18:32.040 Now, because of demographic changes in Quebec, separation is a pipe dream.

01:18:37.480 It'll never happen.

01:18:38.340 If there's a third referendum, it will be a resounding defeat.

01:18:42.920 Separation, I would argue, is more of a real thing in Alberta than it is in Quebec.

01:18:47.780 And Blanchet is just burning with envy.

01:18:52.060 Right, because we can do it.

01:18:53.780 Now, Quebec could never do it because of their strong reliance on handouts from everybody else.

01:19:00.400 They won't develop their own gas resources, but they're happy to take transfer payments from our gas resources

01:19:07.220 while vilifying our gas resources.

01:19:10.780 Premier Smith is right.

01:19:12.480 The people who settled this place and who continue to settle this place tamed an unforgiving land 0.89

01:19:19.780 and turned it into something that feeds the world.

01:19:23.520 Something that powers the world.

01:19:26.380 And there's a lot of envy from people like Blanchet because we are able to do that

01:19:31.420 without relying on government to help us do it.

01:19:36.400 Albertans are more separatist than Quebecers are right now.

01:19:40.920 And we have more will to unchain ourselves from confederation.

01:19:46.060 Oh, and Sheila, I can tell you, even the Quebec separatists subscribe to your point of view.

01:19:52.440 They need the handouts.

01:19:53.720 That's why the biggest attempted scam of the century in Canada was when the separatists started using the words sovereignty association.

01:20:04.860 So, yeah, we're independent.

01:20:06.660 It's our nation of Quebec.

01:20:08.500 But we still have our hands in the till in Ottawa.

01:20:11.700 We're still going to be part of supply management.

01:20:15.840 That's what sovereignty association meant.

01:20:17.940 It was literally having your cake and eating it too.

01:20:20.860 Right.

01:20:21.360 Yeah, they wanted to be sovereign while still associating themselves with our money.

01:20:24.980 Yeah.

01:20:25.460 Let's do this last clip from the Pagan podcast about could this be Alberta's Brexit movement.

01:20:35.420 I think it is, but for a different reason.

01:20:38.220 Anyways, let's watch this.

01:20:39.460 I suspect David Cameron thought he was doing the same thing when he offered the public the opportunity to consider Brexit.

01:20:46.800 And then the thing took on a momentum of its own and he clearly lost control of it.

01:20:50.280 Is there a part of you that worries that could happen here?

01:20:52.660 Very much.

01:20:53.520 That's why I've been spending a lot of time.

01:20:55.540 I mean, you have to remember when I first got into politics, there were about five separatist parties already.

01:21:00.660 And that was my message to them is let's not split the vote.

01:21:05.220 Give me a chance.

01:21:06.260 Let's try to make the country work.

01:21:08.300 And I did do that under the former prime minister.

01:21:11.200 But there was absolutely no meeting partway.

01:21:15.400 And so I'm making the same request again is this is a new leader.

01:21:20.680 We've already seen some indication that he's different.

01:21:23.700 I mean, the ending of the carbon tax as one of his first actions shows that he is not as tied to all of these terrible policies as his predecessor was.

01:21:33.860 But I think we just need to see a little bit more proof in his actions.

01:21:38.040 So I think that my view is that, yeah, I worry about it.

01:21:42.000 I hope the prime minister worries about it because he should be worried about unity.

01:21:45.660 And he should be worried that it's his actions or his government actions or the prior government's actions that has created this situation.

01:21:52.780 And it's in his power to be able to cause it to be alleviated.

01:21:57.060 So that's what I'm putting on him.

01:21:58.660 And I hope he answers with some actions that will do that.

01:22:03.500 Sheila, before we get into the nitty gritty, I got to ask you, is that the case that there is or there was five separatist parties in the province of Alberta?

01:22:14.320 You know what that reminds me of?

01:22:15.620 Sometimes you go to the poll and it's one of these crazy ballots with like 28 people running and you get to near the end.

01:22:22.840 And there's somebody with the Communist Party of Canada and somebody else with the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada.

01:22:29.820 Are you really that different?

01:22:31.420 You can't, you know, unite the far left extremists, you know.

01:22:36.740 So but that many separatist parties, what differentiates them?

01:22:42.300 Not a lot.

01:22:44.320 You know, like, are we going to leave Canada?

01:22:47.860 Are we going to be a republic of our own?

01:22:50.460 Are we going to join the United States?

01:22:51.700 Like there are parties for everybody in that in that way.

01:22:55.760 And the Alberta Prosperity Project is not a party.

01:22:58.900 And they're sort of working from outside that they're saying, OK, let's figure out how to leave.

01:23:04.140 And then we'll figure out what that looks like, what we do after that.

01:23:07.060 Let's do the big thing first.

01:23:08.720 And then, you know, we're smart, we're hardworking, we'll figure it out from there.

01:23:12.780 But that is the problem with a deeply conservative place, right, is that it's hard to get us all marching in the same direction.

01:23:18.980 When you are a culture of fierce individualists, it's hard to get everybody working together for the same goal when you might even have the same goal.

01:23:29.020 But you don't want to chant the same slogan and hold the same sign that it's one of the good things about the conservative movement.

01:23:35.820 But it sure makes it hard to win elections.

01:23:37.420 There's a lot of that with the separatist movement.

01:23:41.220 And I think that's what the Alberta Prosperity Project is trying to do, is trying to say, like, hey, we don't need a party system for this.

01:23:47.880 We need a movement of the people outside of the party system because party system invites tribalism.

01:23:53.860 And what we're just trying to do right now is to deal with the issue at hand that's not a party thing.

01:23:58.720 It doesn't need a political leader.

01:24:03.880 It's a populist movement.

01:24:05.380 So she is she's not wrong.

01:24:07.480 That's that's how desperately people want to leave here.

01:24:10.220 It's like just keep starting political parties just to get out of the out the door.

01:24:16.860 Let's hit it.

01:24:18.480 Let's talk about the chats.

01:24:20.940 OK, and then we'll do the Daily Cringe brought to us by a Daily Cringe recidivist.

01:24:26.320 So many of them are.

01:24:27.540 But this was David Menzies selection.

01:24:29.680 So we must get to it.

01:24:31.540 We've got a chat here from Glagan81.

01:24:36.360 Another outfit that needs gutting is the BDC.

01:24:39.040 That's the Business Development Council.

01:24:42.300 I think that's right.

01:24:43.540 Talk about loan sharks, the only game in town for financing a business purchase.

01:24:47.020 It's a loan sharking operation.

01:24:49.160 Oh, interesting.

01:24:50.400 Yeah.

01:24:50.880 I have never heard good things about the BDC.

01:24:52.860 Cicely Bardwell.

01:24:56.140 She is speaking of recidivists. 0.94

01:24:58.640 She is a frequent chatter donator and we sure appreciate her.

01:25:02.180 Thank you.

01:25:02.720 She says the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

01:25:04.940 Of course, talking about leech and barber.

01:25:08.520 Jay Peterson gives us 20 bucks and says this is just for support of Rebel News.

01:25:14.760 Well, thank you so much.

01:25:15.860 Thank you, Jay.

01:25:17.460 Rabid Roach gives us two bucks.

01:25:19.320 What is accomplished is that the world put an end to the lockdown.

01:25:23.520 So we're talking about what the convoy accomplished.

01:25:26.000 Had the convoy never happened, we'd be required to have a 20th booster to leave our homes today.

01:25:30.340 Oh, and we would be even more morbidly obese than we already are.

01:25:35.620 And then Efron apologizes because he can't get the whole last name to show.

01:25:39.940 But if I had to guess, it's Dylan.

01:25:43.160 Mantage, D-H-I-L, and I bet you it's L-O-N, because that's 50 bucks.

01:25:50.640 Thank you.

01:25:51.020 And I don't see a chat there, but I'm just real grateful.

01:25:57.220 Appreciate that.

01:25:57.900 But let's hit the Daily Cringe.

01:26:02.100 It comes by way of the former NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh.

01:26:11.880 And I'm just already hovered in the heebie-jeebies.

01:26:17.440 Hey, what's up, everybody?

01:26:18.820 Get ready with me.

01:26:19.820 Summer edition.

01:26:21.260 About to go for a walk.

01:26:23.120 And I'm going to wrap up my head and also share with you some ideas.

01:26:26.240 Ever since the last election, something's been happening.

01:26:30.520 People have been coming up to me and saying, thank you for your service.

01:26:33.840 Folks have been biking by and yelling it out.

01:26:36.720 Where?

01:26:37.560 Shouting it out from their cars.

01:26:38.880 People have been coming right up to me and saying that.

01:26:40.540 People have DM'd me.

01:26:42.040 Thank you for your service.

01:26:43.480 But it also got me thinking about service and leadership and how I feel about that.

01:26:49.840 So let me share with you my thoughts on it.

01:26:51.980 When I was a kid, if I ever went to an organization or group that was sick-led and you asked who

01:27:00.740 the leader was, they point out a brother or sister.

01:27:04.000 And if you went up to them and chatted with them and said, oh, I hear you're the leader.

01:27:07.060 They would say, no, no, no.

01:27:08.520 They never wanted to be referred to as a leader.

01:27:10.320 They'd say, oh, no, I'm just a sevadad.

01:27:12.840 And what sevadad means is one who serves.

01:27:16.740 And so they were reluctant to be referred to as a leader because they didn't want to be thought of

01:27:21.600 as a person that was bossing folks around or at the top or calling the shots.

01:27:26.440 But instead, they wanted to know that what they were doing was just service.

01:27:30.660 They were just serving their community, serving people.

01:27:34.600 And that's what I grew up believing leadership was.

01:27:37.280 Leadership was, to me, service.

01:27:39.420 And so when folks say to me, thank you for your service, it's probably the nicest thing you could say

01:27:43.280 because that's exactly what I believed and I continue to believe that leadership is.

01:27:47.880 It's the ability or the honor to serve.

01:27:50.260 So thanks for saying that.

01:27:52.520 And it also means that I couldn't have served in the first place.

01:27:56.500 I wouldn't have had the honor of serving but for people who supported me.

01:28:00.380 So thank you to everybody.

01:28:02.200 Thank you to everybody who supported me.

01:28:05.120 Thanks to everybody who donated, voted, who believed in our vision.

01:28:09.140 Thank you to all of you.

01:28:10.280 We couldn't have done the work we did without you.

01:28:12.480 So big thank you to all of you.

01:28:16.100 And I guess this is a good time to chat a little bit about.

01:28:19.000 What I'm up to now.

01:28:20.660 I've been spending a lot of time with the family.

01:28:23.420 Thinking about what the next role is for me.

01:28:25.660 Who's thinking?

01:28:26.500 I want you to know, no matter what I do, I will always continue to push for better ways for us to take care of each other.

01:28:33.640 I always want to fight for you.

01:28:35.080 I want you to know that I believe in my core and I always will believe that we are all one.

01:28:41.040 And that we are better off when we take care of each other.

01:28:43.780 All of us are better off when we lift each other up.

01:28:46.480 So I'm going to continue to find ways to talk about that and to continue to promote that.

01:28:51.280 That if we want to build a fairer world, a better world, it's going to be a world where we imagine that we're all one.

01:28:58.480 And a world where we find better ways and more ways to take care of each other.

01:29:03.560 Well, appreciate you all.

01:29:05.400 Thanks so much.

01:29:06.200 Thanks for all the love and support.

01:29:09.160 Right back at you.

01:29:10.900 And I guess we're going to go for a walk now.

01:29:12.800 All right.

01:29:12.940 Take care.

01:29:15.680 Oh, my goodness.

01:29:17.280 Sheila, it was like watching a perverse reverse striptease in an alternate universe.

01:29:24.940 I will say this.

01:29:26.580 If I was a Sikh, I don't think I'd make a very good one. 1.00

01:29:30.500 Here's the only good thing I can say about that video.

01:29:32.740 He's very coordinated in terms of putting that turban on. 0.91

01:29:37.100 I lack those skills.

01:29:39.100 But I'll tell you, everything else, the only truthful thing he said, and wow, what a quote, is when he said,

01:29:46.180 no, no, no, I'm not the leader.

01:29:48.980 Yeah, that's right, because you lost your own seat.

01:29:52.360 And not only that, you threw your party under the bus for your pension.

01:29:57.340 You threw your country under the bus for your pension.

01:30:01.440 And by the way, Mr. Singh, those people passing by on the car, putting their hands out the window,

01:30:09.460 are you sure you're looking at the right digit, that it's a thumb up and not the middle finger up?

01:30:15.820 Because I suspect that is what you're getting, not the reverse.

01:30:21.720 Yeah, what we just saw was fake performative humility from somebody who doesn't have any.

01:30:26.440 I'm just so pleased he took his Rolex off before he did that video.

01:30:32.120 The most interesting part for me was watching him tie his turban.

01:30:34.780 I've never seen that done before.

01:30:36.120 It was fascinating to me.

01:30:39.360 That was quite something to watch.

01:30:41.700 But listening to his words, I'm like, thank you for your service.

01:30:44.480 You're not a veteran.

01:30:45.680 You're not a cop.

01:30:46.480 You're a self-serving politician who sold out this country for his pension.

01:30:52.540 Thank you for your service.

01:30:54.020 What exactly did you accomplish?

01:30:56.800 Nothing.

01:30:58.080 Ten more years of liberal leadership, probably.

01:31:01.500 That's all.

01:31:02.060 And destroying his own party to get it.

01:31:04.360 Thank you for your service.

01:31:05.720 Yeah, you're a real war hero.

01:31:07.560 Thanks.

01:31:07.740 Well, you know, Sheila, to be fair, in terms of accomplishments, we know Jagmeet Singh is all about, you know, green energy and the climate crisis and whatnot.

01:31:16.880 And after the last election, the NDP at the federal level can now have a caucus meeting in a minivan.

01:31:25.240 They've been reduced to seven seats.

01:31:27.400 So we don't have to have any kind of convoy.

01:31:30.980 Y'all fit into that Dodge Caravan.

01:31:33.600 And there you go.

01:31:35.160 So that's something.

01:31:38.120 Yeah, I just, the way he's treating himself, like he just has gone through, like, the Afghanistan war by being one of the most comfortable, well-kept people in all of Canada.

01:31:53.420 Mr. Rolex Maserati, thank you for your service.

01:31:57.180 As if people are saying that to him, by the way.

01:31:59.120 As if.

01:31:59.920 Definitely they're not.

01:32:00.820 This is like a, oh, don't thank me.

01:32:05.160 Thank you for choosing me.

01:32:09.600 Congratulations on you guys being so smart that you chose me. 1.00

01:32:14.540 Like, just so stupid. 1.00

01:32:16.060 It's kind of like seeing that the captain of the Titanic at some kind of nautical conference talking about iceberg evasion, right? 1.00

01:32:25.280 Go, get in your Maserati, pick up Aaron O'Toole, come out here, get Jason Kenney, and then you guys just drive into the sunset and we never see you ever again.

01:32:36.380 Oh, no, no, no, no.

01:32:37.140 Then, then I'll be out on the highway holding a thank you sign.

01:32:41.160 But this, this is nonsense.

01:32:43.160 Me too.

01:32:43.820 But let's get some of our trained broadcast professionals to wire up that car because I want to see what the conversation is.

01:32:51.000 I don't want to hear from them ever again.

01:32:52.300 All three of them.

01:32:53.080 Just never again.

01:32:54.220 No.

01:32:54.860 Zip it.

01:32:55.800 Just drive away.

01:32:57.320 I'll buy the gas.

01:32:58.140 Sheila, is it a Maserati or is it a BMW M3 or does he own both?

01:33:02.780 And by the way, when I show.

01:33:03.780 Yeah, he's a Maserati Marxist.

01:33:05.580 I forget who called him that.

01:33:07.760 Yeah.

01:33:08.440 Anyway.

01:33:08.880 And when I, when I saw him show up at a Toronto event, he was in a Dodge Durango RT, of course, not the base model.

01:33:17.560 So he's quite the connoisseur of cars for somebody that keeps preaching.

01:33:23.000 There's the Maserati.

01:33:23.940 Oh, there's the Maserati.

01:33:25.260 Oh, it's the Maserati SUV.

01:33:26.940 Okay.

01:33:28.140 Yeah.

01:33:28.500 Wow.

01:33:29.140 So good for him.

01:33:30.360 Good for him.

01:33:31.560 Just making use of that pension.

01:33:33.520 Well, you know, Sheila, as they say, socialism ain't for the socialists.

01:33:39.060 Yeah.

01:33:39.520 It's for the people.

01:33:41.880 Okay.

01:33:42.340 I think that's it.

01:33:42.960 We got all the chats.

01:33:43.820 We can probably wrap up.

01:33:45.060 I know they need the studio in about 15 minutes.

01:33:47.280 Yes, we do.

01:33:48.080 So, Sheila, thank you so much.

01:33:49.880 And folks, thank you for tuning in.

01:33:51.580 Thank you for those very generous chats today.

01:33:54.100 That was awesome.

01:33:54.800 I believe tomorrow it is Sheila along with the lovely Lise.

01:34:01.060 And I will be back with Sheila this Friday.

01:34:03.800 Can't wait.

01:34:05.260 And I think, are we doing a panel discussion again on Friday, Sheila?

01:34:10.120 Yeah, but no offense.

01:34:11.060 I'm going to try to weasel out of it.

01:34:12.600 Okay.

01:34:13.240 And meet a family obligation.

01:34:15.220 But if I can't, then I'll be here.

01:34:17.140 There you go.

01:34:17.860 So, as they say in the marketing universe, folks, that's value add.

01:34:21.820 You're going to get more people yammering away.

01:34:25.180 So, until then, thanks for tuning in.

01:34:27.860 And as always, stay safe and stay sane.

01:34:31.340 And as always, stay safe and stay safe.

01:35:01.340 We'll be right back.

01:35:31.340 We'll be right back.

01:36:01.340 We'll be right back.
