Sheila Menzoid shares the story of how she accidentally forgot her husband's wedding anniversary on the day of their 33rd anniversary. Plus, a new rule introduced by Dollarama that makes it hard to buy a $1,000 gift on your anniversary.

00:00:55.580Afterwards, there are only a limited number of those because we want to keep, uh, the exclusivity of it. So if you are considering that, might I suggest you hop right on and get one of those because they go fast. They sell out. But, uh, how will somebody let me know how long the V or sorry, the early bird tickets are on sale for it's wrapping up very, very soon.
00:01:16.520Um, yes. Yeah. So if you want tickets, go to rebel news live.com and, uh, do it today, do it after the show, but do it today.
00:01:26.340And Sheila, before we get going, uh, and there's so much to talk about and I'll let you pick the first topic, but I just want to say, and I want to, and this is an anecdote that I want to pass along to all our female viewers.
00:01:39.520Who are in a marriage and terms of the greatest gift of all to give your husband on your anniversary.
00:01:51.060And it's what happened to me yesterday on my anniversary.
00:01:56.500Happy anniversary. She made it another year.
00:01:59.160Number 33 for those that are counting. And it's this, Sheila, I wish Lady Menzoid a happy anniversary. And she said, it's today. And with this look of horror.
00:02:09.760And then what I did is I, I feigned tears about, Oh, you forgot. What that did is give me hand. I have something to hold over her like the sword of Damocles forever. And here's me giving her a beautiful card with potentially a million dollar gift with that card.
00:02:34.000By that, I mean, I bought her a lottery ticket. So it's either a million bucks or trash, but still it's the thought that counts, but there was no thought. I told my good friend, Brian, what happened? He went, Oh man, Sheila, he was so envious. He said, if only honey would ever do that to me, I would have hand too.
00:02:53.140So there you go, ladies. If you want to make your man like a million bucks, just pretend you forgot the wedding anniversary. It is truly a gift to last. Anyways, I digress.
00:03:06.560Did you circle the price on the back of the card like you normally do to tell her this is how much I spent?
00:03:12.600Unfortunately, Sheila, it seems that Dollarama has adopted a new policy because every card I found had the dollar printed on it. Normally it'd be like 475, 650, but it would just be in the rack, all cards, $1. And maybe they got into trouble with the competition or something.
00:03:34.460But, but yeah, so now I just get a, um, a Sharpie and I, I, uh, you know, sensor, mark it up, mark it up.
00:03:43.940You know, the most astounding part of that story is that poor woman made it another year.
00:03:53.180Okay. Let's get into the news of the day. Uh, Justin Trudeau held a press conference today.
00:03:57.540He, all of a sudden sound very Trumpy as his poll numbers fall because he is saying a lot of things about China, which, uh, Justin Trudeau has been very, very soft on.
00:04:10.380Um, but all of a sudden he's putting a hundred percent tariff. Oh, I see why he's mad about China.
00:04:16.040So it's hurting the Canadian electric vehicle producers that he has subsidized to the teeth.
00:04:24.440So he's announcing a hundred percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles and a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum.
00:04:32.220Let's watch this sound and lots like Donald Trump.
00:04:35.920So today we're taking yet another step to ensure that Canada is the country of choice to make the things that'll drive the new 21st century green economy.
00:04:47.320We're listening to automakers. We're listening to workers.
00:04:50.700Shortly, we will be introducing a 100% tariff on Chinese made electric vehicles and a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum.
00:05:04.240See, because of our government's choices and the hard work of hundreds of thousands of Canadian auto workers, we are transforming Canada's automotive sector to be a global leader in building the vehicles of tomorrow.
00:05:18.440But actors like China have chosen to give themselves an unfair advantage in the global marketplace, compromising the security of our critical, critical industries and displacing dedicated Canadian autos and manual metal workers.
00:05:33.900So we're taking action to address that.
00:05:37.480We actually spent some time talking about that and many other geopolitical issues last night with Jake Sullivan, the U.S. national security advisor.
00:05:46.620Oh, my goodness, Sheila, I am experiencing a profound feeling of deja vu.
00:05:55.720Because earlier this month, as you know, Lincoln Jay and I went down to the Hammer, Hamilton, Ontario, to a press conference at Stelco given by Pierre Polyev.
00:06:09.880100% on all Chinese electric vehicles.
00:06:13.16025% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum.
00:06:15.760I believe Mr. Polyev also announced a tariff on EV batteries.
00:06:21.980You'll notice that's conspicuously absent from Trudeau's tariff rent, Sheila, which is inexplicable to me because, as you know, we are doling out tens of billions.
00:06:35.500Yes, billions with a B on EV battery production.
00:06:45.040He said this is to stop displacing workers.
00:06:49.220You know, Sheila, when I was in Windsor just a few days ago, and folks, stay tuned for this, I went to the Stellantis LG battery plant that's still under construction.
00:07:36.720Well, what the heck are all those people working on?
00:07:39.200And by the way, when I say people, I mean the homegrown tradesman and tradeswoman and approximately 1,600 South Korean workers.
00:07:51.200So, not only are your tax dollars subsidizing what I think, Sheila, is a huge gamble that Canadians are going to buy in, you know, big time to EV vehicles, which, let's face it, are unaffordable.
00:08:14.620Oh, no, and I'm sure Mr. Polyev, he'll get rid of all these fake, bogus federal targets.
00:08:21.040Typically, it's 2035 in which we can't produce carbon-burning vehicles anymore.
00:08:27.500But the inexplicable thing, how in the blue hell do you end up subsidizing a plant in terms of tens of billions of dollars, Sheila, and half the workforce are non-Canadians?
00:08:44.260And by the way, this isn't a road to citizenship.
00:08:47.080The moment that project's done, if they ever get it up and running again, and that's really weird because there was a lot of work going on when we went there, what is the rationale?
00:08:57.520Is South Korea using their tax dollars to prop up jobs in Seoul for Canadians?
00:11:21.580No, we have rolling brownouts in Alberta, and we have 800 years of coal under our feet that the federal government and Rachel Notley decided we are not allowed to use.
00:11:34.060If it gets too hot, we're threatened with brownouts.
00:11:36.240If it gets too cold, we're threatened with blackouts and brownouts.
00:11:39.820And it's ridiculous, and you can't just take us off a reliable baseload and say, okay, now you have to wait until the wind blows before you can turn on your dryer or plug in your vehicle.
00:11:53.080And when I say plug in, I mean block heaters, not electric vehicles.
00:11:57.440We've got some other comments from Justin Trudeau, but we have a message from Rumble and Truth Social that we have to get to first.
00:12:07.440And then we've got people asking Justin Trudeau if he's going to pull a Biden and step aside.
00:12:14.420So big tech is suppressing free speech everywhere, and it's clear their censorship campaign is going to get even worse, especially if you're in Canada.
00:12:24.480Without free speech, we won't have a free society.
00:12:26.620That's why you need to dump the big tech bosses and join the Truth Social movement now.
00:12:32.120At Truth Social, you can get all your news and opinions set up or join groups based on your hobbies or interests and make yourself heard on any issue without being squelched by big tech censors.
00:12:44.360Join the network that is the leading platform for direct unfiltered access to Donald Trump's social media posts.
00:12:52.000And boy, you know, what a joy he is to read online.
00:12:56.100If you want instant access to all of Trump's announcements, plans and reactions to the biggest issues of the day, Truth Social is the social media platform for you.
00:13:07.600Break free of big tech suppression, strike a blow against cancel culture and reclaim your rights on America's premier free speech social media platform.
00:13:18.240Alright, speaking of big tech censors and the men that love them, let's get into Justin Trudeau.
00:13:26.880A rare moment of a journalist doing their job in the mainstream media.
00:13:30.400Somebody asked him, given record low polling and a blue sweep rolling across this country and, you know, even Montreal Island, they might have a conservative seat there, polling suggests.
00:13:56.360I mean, they have they ever had a conservative there?
00:13:59.360Probably not in the history of Confederation.
00:14:02.140Anyway, somebody asked Trudeau if he why doesn't he just step aside like Biden did as though Biden did it for the polling numbers and not because he has a brain like this cheese.
00:14:14.200You say that you plan to stay on to say persistently bad polling despite the by-election loss in Toronto that your party lost for the first time in three decades because you want to continue to deliver.
00:14:27.920Isn't that what Joe Biden insisted on?
00:14:30.300Listen, we are focused on being there for Canadians.
00:14:34.740We are focused on stepping up on support and investments that are going to leave Canadians better off for the coming years and indeed decades.
00:14:45.320Canada has built one of the strongest economies in the G7 in the world right now because we've been there to invest in the middle class and people working hard to join it.
00:14:56.020We've been delivering on programs that have made a real difference in Canadians' lives.
00:15:00.420And right now, as people are facing challenges, we are setting the best balance sheet in the G7 to work for Canadians.
00:15:10.760But sir, you just made the Joe Biden argument that his record justifies him staying.
00:15:15.300The electorate is saying they don't want you.
00:16:01.560You know, I love the look in Justin's face because those were some prickly questions, especially, you know, you personally are actually polling lower than your party.
00:17:42.600They're just happy as clams to be in this government, to have already qualified for their pension.
00:17:49.400So for their own selfish self-interest, they don't see going after Trudeau as job one.
00:17:56.880I guess, Sheila, all we have to think about is the drop dead time in which a coup would take place because we're less than a year and a half away from an election.
00:18:46.780You know, the Conservatives historically had like a what you'd sort of call them a French deputy in the party who was sort of would do outreach to French language Conservatives.
00:19:00.500They don't even have that right now and they are polling higher than the Liberals in historically liberal run ridings.
00:19:06.780With regard to the future of the Liberal Party, what have they got?
00:20:56.300So if I'm Matt Carney, and he's certainly in no rush and he's financially well off, I let this thing go down like the Titanic and I rebrand the Liberal Party as I'm the savior.
00:21:14.220And of course, by this point, if the polls are correct, we have a Pierre Polyev majority government.
00:21:20.200And they will be trying to govern this country like adults and the, of course, the trained SEALs in the media who are on Polyev's hit list in terms of getting defunded.
00:21:34.320They'll be running piece after piece of, oh, look at all the defunding.
00:21:38.540Look at all the programs that are being canceled.
00:22:11.780Like, yeah, I don't, his only option, as I said earlier, was to be the Kim Campbell, to be the person holding the bag when somebody else burns the party to the ground.
00:22:26.340I mean, he would have to come in and fashion himself as a Paul Martin, like a business-minded liberal.
00:22:34.280I just don't think there's an appetite amongst liberal voters for that anymore.
00:22:37.540If they're business-minded, they're already in the conservative party.
00:22:41.400The liberal party left them behind a long time ago.
00:23:38.140Just say it's a Christmas wreath, and that would have been the end of it.
00:23:41.080But it's when they try to make everybody happy, it just ends up in disaster.
00:23:46.780Let's go to, we've got a couple more things we really need to breeze through, we've got to stay on time,
00:23:53.060because we've got some messages from some sponsors that we need to get to.
00:23:57.500Justin Trudeau, as he continues to plummet in the polls, he's going to try to do things that the Conservatives are already saying they're going to do,
00:24:06.040thinking that Canadians are going to think that this is some sort of sincere change of heart and not just absolute power-hungry cynicism.
00:24:12.660So now, he's decided that he's going to reduce the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada.
