On the 11th hour of the clock, we pause to remember the fallen soldiers who never returned home from serving their country. They went from their farms, their homes, their families, on trains, in boats and planes, up in planes and up above, they went without pause, without hesitation, and for freedom. They were ready to fight not for fame, not for glory, but to defend those who couldn t for themselves, and went with their flag on their sleeve.
00:02:59.520Okay, before we move on, I saw this video this morning.
00:03:03.860And if you are not from the prairies, or maybe if you're not from a farming sort of background, maybe you don't pay attention to somebody called Quick Dick.
00:03:14.860But he is a social media farmer in Saskatchewan.
00:03:18.360He's a real life farmer, but he's on social media a lot.
00:03:20.660And he did this video this morning, and I thought it was sort of perfect, because you're going to hear a lot of fancy people honoring our soldiers today.
00:06:59.880Um, but he's getting trolled pretty hard in the comments by, uh, soldiers, but also, uh, advocates for our armed forces.
00:07:12.700So, uh, our friend Marty up north, uh, he tweeted the video of Brock Blazchuk.
00:07:19.540Brock Blazchuk is an Alberta soldier, PPCLI, injured, uh, in Afghanistan, and he's the soldier that Justin Trudeau told him as he's standing there on wounded legs that he was asking for more than Justin Trudeau could give him.
00:07:37.980Um, and then, uh, Tom Muratso points out that, uh, Chris Deering was a wounded veteran, served in Afghanistan.
00:07:48.160He was blown up in Afghanistan, and two of his friends were killed in the very same attack.
00:07:53.620And Chris was beaten by the cops in Ottawa as part of the Freedom Convoy.
00:08:00.220So, a lot of them were saying, like, yeah, is this the debt you're talking about?
00:08:11.040Yeah, because I, I remember during the convoy, the amount of veterans that were standing there for basic freedom and to protect Canadians and all the middle, like, which Canadians just wanted to have their basic freedom and they got beaten up and pushed away.
00:08:32.760And that was pretty, uh, uh, that was pretty, uh, heartbreaking to see, uh, what they did.
00:08:38.820Yeah, I mean, we all saw what, uh, the Justin Trudeau apparatus did to James Topp and how they treated him, um, for standing up for freedom.
00:08:49.620The freedom that he fought for, um, he walked across the country, um, for freedom, to bring attention to the plight of, uh, civil liberties in this country.
00:09:00.580And he got in trouble for wearing the uniform that he earned.
00:09:11.460Don't, don't, don't forget also the, the veteran woman that we fought with, along with her, um, because she had been offered maid instead of more services.
00:09:22.340Oh, by the way, I've got a quick, you know what?
00:10:31.040If you want to talk about something while I look for that, and I can tell you exactly the charity, because then people might want to, um, help that charity because they're actually doing the work that the government wouldn't.
00:10:43.900It's pretty sad when you look at that.
00:10:46.440And when she was explaining the story, by the way, if you didn't watch the Sheila report, I did it in French, uh, for my part.
00:10:55.000Um, I think, um, I think it's really important that people know how our veterans are being treated by, uh, our current government.
00:11:05.020And, uh, I think it's really important also, like, to show the charity who helped her.
00:11:14.340Uh, because, uh, when you look at that, it was everywhere in the media, her story were everywhere and she didn't receive more help afterwards.
00:11:26.640Usually, like, when there is controversial media attention, suddenly the government will rise up and do more, but it wasn't the case.
00:11:55.360He is in our documentary, Made, The Dark Side of Canadian Compassion.
00:11:59.760He was one of the whistleblowers on veterans being offered, made, and he really led the charge to help Christine.
00:12:06.000And, uh, if you can see there, Olivia, I dropped Blake Richards.
00:12:11.460He's the MP for the region, the conservative MP, um, announcing that Christine is getting her wheelchair lift.
00:12:20.780And it's Renos for Heroes is the veterans charity that helps veterans who, um, have mobility issues stay in their homes longer, um, related to their service-related injuries.
00:12:36.500So, um, so it's, uh, Renos for Heroes.
00:12:41.860Um, it's going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to do this to her, but, or do this for her, but it's about damn time.
00:12:48.460And this was the government's responsibility.
00:12:50.800Um, we have a sacred covenant with our veterans.
00:12:53.520They go, uh, they serve Canadian interests abroad, uh, they defend liberty, uh, they stand up for freedom, and if they get hurt, it's, the sacred covenant is that we take care of them.
00:13:08.940And this government has failed that every step of the way.
00:13:11.820The good news is Canadians don't feel the same way as Justin Trudeau about our veterans.
00:13:16.500Um, and by the way, that brings us to the other, um, news that Canadians think there is not enough pride in countries' military.
00:13:32.300Uh, yeah, and again, that goes to my point.
00:13:35.080We don't feel the same way about our military as Justin Trudeau and the Liberals do.
00:13:39.720Um, so this is a poll from, it's a post-media-leger poll,
00:13:44.400which looked at Canadians' pride in the military,
00:13:47.660treatment of veterans, and remembrance dates.
00:13:49.52062% of poll respondents said the Canadian government does not take enough pride in the country's military.
00:13:54.880Um, this is a major view across the entire country,
00:13:57.960although slightly more in British Columbia at 63%.
00:14:01.360Um, and slightly fewer Atlantic Canadians, that's odd, at 56%.
00:30:45.120But also there is the government, the people in charge, why they are not condemning this, why they are not saying that you cannot show support to a terrorist organization, you cannot harass people, you cannot assault people while you're protesting.
00:31:04.260Because when you're protesting and you do this, the protests turn into an illegal protest.
00:31:11.940And since then, if the protests turn into an illegal protest, the protests need to be dismantled by the authorities.
00:31:29.500And I'm not saying we need to invoke the Emergencies Act to deal with these guys, but we can certainly deal with them under the existing laws.
00:31:36.300They are flying flags of an outlawed terror organization.
00:31:39.820Hamas is on the public safety outlawed list, along with the likes of the Proud Boys.
00:31:55.020I'm not sure what FinTrack does around here, except make sure that farmers don't get financing through Farm Credit Canada because they gave $20 to the Freedom Convoy.
00:32:05.980FinTrack is supposed to track financial crimes and money laundering.
00:32:09.380Why haven't we figured out where all the money is coming from for these persistent, ongoing pro-Hamas protests?
00:32:17.980But Chrystia Freeland, the finance minister who's in charge of these things, she only reserves FinTrack for the likes of the enemies of the Liberal Party and not the enemies of freedom and humanity.
00:32:30.600We also talk about the fact that not only it was in cough, but for a long time and something happened following the end cough on David Menzies.
00:32:41.420Yeah, do we have Joe Warmington's tweet on this?
00:32:46.320So we sort of knew about this internally, but Joe Warmington tweeted about it.
00:32:52.980So we'll just let we let Joe break the news.
00:32:56.060Our friend Joe Warmington, who is good friends with David Menzies, by the way, and one of the good guys in the mainstream media, one of the best shoe leather journalists in the entire country.
00:33:05.000Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun says, I just heard from David.
00:33:22.040That's the mayor who can't keep her panties on.
00:33:25.400And the aging, the geriatric lady mayor of Toronto, who just dances scantily clad as mobs of Islamo-Nazis roam the streets of Toronto.
00:33:39.360And Doug Ford, who seems to be doing absolutely nothing about any of this.
00:33:43.500You know what, what I know for sure is if this were happening in Alberta, I know our premier would drop the hammer on these guys because she, when they refused to do anything in, well, they didn't actually.
00:33:57.320I shouldn't say that because the Calgary police and Edmonton police, as soon as we had those protest encampments pop up at the universities,
00:34:07.520it was like hours before their stuff was being flung into the garbage by cops and it was gorgeous and beautiful and made me happy to see.
00:34:15.180But I think it's because our police services know that you've got a public safety minister in Mike Ellis in Alberta and our premier, Daniel Smith,
00:34:24.240who would stand up and defend the cops for doing the right thing.
00:35:54.760The only ring of police that come is the one to take him away and throw him in the back of a cop car in handcuffs.
00:35:59.820I mean that, I just, I can't believe that, let's not even, let's concede that maybe the handcuffs that were too tight and faulty were an accident.
00:36:11.860Let's just, maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
00:49:44.500And everybody seemed to know in the chain of communications whether they were actually talking about Randy.
00:49:51.840So now Randy Blasino is accused of claiming, I don't know how many scandals this guy can be involved in at once.
00:50:08.580Simultaneously, we have this procurement scandal happening in Canadian politics where companies who pretend to be Indigenous get preferential treatment in the procurement queue.
00:50:20.400As in, you get preferential contracts because you are an Indigenous-owned and operated company.
00:50:30.140A company called Dalian, a two-man operation, was getting money as part of Arrive Scam contracting when we're not sure anybody there is actually Indigenous.
00:50:40.380And then now it turns out Randy Blasino's company was getting preferential contracts.
00:50:47.360I think it was from Elections Canada because it was Indigenous-owned and operated.
00:51:32.840It has become apparent that my former business partner, Stephen Anderson, has conducted himself in an unacceptable manner.
00:51:38.440The evidence clearly indicates Mr. Anderson, sure, sure, sure, used my name without my consent to advance his personal interests repeatedly,
00:51:45.420including in the years after our work together had concluded.
00:51:48.320I also did not consent to Mr. Anderson making any false representations to portray global health imports.
00:52:03.520There's a long history of non-Indigenous individuals claiming status to access programs and such actions are wrong and deeply hurtful to Indigenous people.
00:52:12.460Okay, but where would he get the idea that you're Indigenous, Randy?
00:52:17.780With regard to my own heritage, the family into which I was adopted has Indigenous ancestry and my adopted mother and brother both being status neti.
00:52:28.400That's where they got this idea, the scam.
00:52:31.620Well, you're adopted into an Indigenous family, so that's close enough.
00:52:37.840Though I have participated in Indigenous caucus as an ally throughout my time as MP, I regret my error in judgment in having gone into business with Mr. Anderson.
00:53:47.200He said that Randy Bosnow gave him assurances that he was not involved in the dealings of the company.
00:53:56.860And so he was like, yep, rubber stamp, you're okay.
00:53:59.780Then he says, I examined records provided by Randy Bosnow that showed that he didn't have any communications regarding the business dealings.
00:54:07.960And then so they ask him, like, how many days you looked, how many days worth of communications you looked at?
00:54:13.060And he's like, I don't know, but like three days, four days.
00:54:16.040And the conservatives are like, if you went like two days further, you would have found the nine Randy text messages.
00:54:21.640It's like, oh, well, I didn't look at that.
00:54:23.340What do you want me to do, investigate?
00:54:39.240Like, Stephen Gilboa's company got $200 million or something like that.
00:54:43.040So anyways, I think it's going to be two years after Justin Trudeau's gone for us to get to the bottom of just the amount of corruption before we even start to do anything about it.
00:54:56.540Like, I just think to open up the books, it's going to take two years just to find it all and then start the firings and the criminal trials.
00:55:02.480But anyways, Dane Lloyd, Conservative MP from Edmonton area, west of the city.
00:55:11.100He sort of breaks it down pretty well.
00:55:13.220But we see if it will ever happen because, you know what, it's always happening.
00:55:24.180It's just we do investigation and finally just like, boop, nothing.
00:55:28.380Yeah, well, when you see, like, the ethics commissioner, you're like, oh, it's no wonder these guys think they can get away with everything.
00:56:00.060Mr. Speaker, Indigenous people are outraged that government contracts meant for Indigenous businesses are being scooped up by shady companies with no Indigenous connection.
00:56:09.800Today, we learned that the Minister of Employment's fraud-ridden company, Global Health Imports, claimed to be Indigenous in order to try and secure millions in lucrative government contracts.
00:56:19.000Now, this all happened while the Minister of Employment was actively running the company.
00:56:24.600When will the Minister admit that he is the real Randy and acknowledge that it's wrong to falsely claim Indigenous heritage and take contracts meant for Indigenous peoples and resign?
00:56:37.700The Honourable Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Procurement Services.
00:56:43.080Mr. Speaker, we're taking every effort to ensure that Indigenous people are properly associated with the contracts that are procured.
00:56:49.580That's why we've established the very motion that's going forward.
00:56:52.440Members of the Opposite want to criticize and be critical of the program, but it's essential to ensure that Indigenous people have the right, have the ability for economic success and integration so that they, too, can succeed.
00:57:04.760And that we get and we understand that those on the Indigenous list are managed appropriately and the procurement process is also taking transparent measures forward.
00:57:12.900I'm sorry, but really, not a long time ago, when I went to an event where there were a special prize for Indigenous, they literally say to me that anyone who identifies us can just claim to be.
00:57:29.980Like, this is actually an insult for them and that this, that just happened, too.
00:57:37.280So, at the end of the day, they are the ones responsible, the liberals, for what they are doing right now.
00:57:43.560Well, and look at this, not in a real company, not only would Randy resign, he would probably be in jail, but this is Justin Trudeau's liberals, and so ethics doesn't really matter there.
00:57:57.300But if he were in the private sector, there would be serious police investigation happening here just on the fraud stuff alone.
00:58:03.980But the procurement, like, the misleading to get preferential procurement, I mean, that's wild.
00:58:12.080But not only does he not have to resign, he got a promotion.
00:58:16.680He is now the liberal minister in charge of the Jasper rebuild.
00:58:23.480Which means, like, dozens of procurements.
00:58:26.040Let me go off about what happened in Jasper, and especially with the green slush fund corruption that is happening over there.
00:58:37.420He is, like, I don't know how you can be involved in, not, the first part of the Randy Boissoneau scandal should have been enough to make sure that he is never in charge of something.
00:58:51.380If they were smart, they would have just sort of shuffled him to the side.
00:58:54.520If the liberals were smart, they would have said, you know what, we are going to appoint a conservative in charge of Jasper rebuild.
00:59:05.700Make them, like, a special advisory panel in charge of Jasper rebuild or something.
00:59:10.760Because Randy's going to lose his seat.
00:59:13.680Like, he's going to lose his seat in the middle of the Jasper rebuild.
00:59:48.560Because we, his business partner, or the lady who, I guess, hired him as a lobbyist back in the day, and then gave him his shares as payment.
01:01:01.100I listen to the translation, although the translators are quite frequently just,
01:01:05.600I'd almost rather muddle my way through French than listen to those translators, but I appreciate it.
01:01:12.120Let's go to this one thing that's happening in Alberta.
01:01:18.160I know we're running out of time, and I've got to film the gun show today because I am on a special mission for the next two and a half days.
01:01:27.300Kids in Alberta, I'm going to congratulate the boss on this.
01:07:17.680Like, the restrictions on fracking there are leaving you poor.
01:07:22.740Quester, Michael Binion, he has been pushing for exploration there for ages, exploration and extraction there for ages, because it will leave for clean, reliable natural gas in Quebec.
01:07:40.880And apparently your premier would rather import it than allow it to go forward.
01:07:46.280Yeah, because he wants to be the first one in the lowest emissions, the grain province around the world.
01:07:53.160While in the same time, it's just because your emission is in other countries and as the money of the industry is outside of our province, instead of making us rich, you make other places that have less ethic on extraction rich.
01:08:11.040So, at the end of the day, our premier, by the way, who actually flipped completely the opposite while he did, write a book about how to make Quebec prosperous by extracting our natural resources, got elected and banned it.
01:08:52.660Let's, let's go into what Ezra was up to.
01:08:55.380And this is, I got to tell you, I'm not angling for a raise, but I want to tell you that while we were dealing with David Menzies being arrested and held in handcuffs for three hours,
01:09:05.620that nobody could get off his wrists, Ezra was dealing with it from Amsterdam.
01:09:10.440So, he's there to report on the riots against Jews there.
01:09:15.580It broke out after a soccer match a few days ago, and it is still ongoing.
01:09:19.740It's a pogrom in the country where Anne Frank was.
01:09:24.860And I saw the king of Holland called and apologized, I think to, wasn't to the president of Israel, wasn't the prime minister, called and apologized, said, we failed the Jews before, we're failing you again.
01:10:38.120Looks like you're occupied by the Nazis against us.
01:10:40.040And the occupation would have stayed on for 70 years or more, then we also would have to fight against the Germans.
01:10:48.200So, the Jews are like the Nazis, is what you're saying, in your analogy.
01:10:51.680Well, we're back at the central plaza of Amsterdam, and when we were here a few hours ago, we counted a half a dozen police vans and police in small groups.
01:11:05.240I presumed that the excitement was over, but in fact, today a pro-Hamas protest is happening.
01:11:12.640As you can see, there are now dozens of police vehicles and riot police with those batons, shields, helmets, and visors.
01:11:21.900They're forming a line to block additional people from joining the pro-Hamas protest.
01:11:29.080You can't see them, but you can hear them.
01:11:31.340It's a small group that is meeting, they say, in defiance of the government.
01:11:37.940Because of the riots two days ago, and I think because of, frankly, the shock by the entire establishment from the king on down,
01:11:46.140they did not give a permit to the pro-Hamas protesters that they normally do.
01:11:51.380Nonetheless, they chose to rally in defiance of that lack of legal sanction.
01:11:59.000Police evidently seem to be allowing the protests to continue, but have formed literally a human wall, stopping new people from joining.
01:12:08.280I should say, I would call it peaceful, even though it's heavily armed batons, shields, helmets, etc.
01:12:15.700I see no fisty cuffs, there's no opposing force.
01:12:20.200The Israeli football fans who were here on Thursday have obviously long since gone home.
01:12:26.660A statement by the pro-Hamas side said they're not going to allow the weaponization of anti-Semitism, they say.
01:12:33.940In other words, the fact that there was an anti-Semitic pogrom on Thursday won't stop the pro-Hamas folks from protesting.
