00:00:00.000 Hey Rebel fan, thanks for listening to one of our Rebel News podcasts.
00:00:03.980 As you know, we're fiercely independent and we'll never take a dollar from the federal government.
00:00:08.920 Help keep us strong by considering the following sponsors that make our journalism possible.
00:00:14.000 Thank you and keep fighting for freedom.
00:00:16.120 Right now, Berna is having their biggest sale ever with 25% off everything on the Berna Canada site,
00:00:22.440 but only from August 17th through August 24th.
00:00:26.260 In Canada, firearms owners like me understand the importance of safe, effective self-defense options.
00:00:32.040 That's why we're proud to have Berna as a sponsor.
00:00:35.520 Berna's less lethal launchers are designed to help protect you and your family without taking a life.
00:00:41.780 Berna offers peace of mind, accessibility, and a practical layer of personal security for Canadians who value safety.

00:03:25.180 a paid comment called a super thanks so those are the rules let's get into the show this was one
00:03:31.660 heck of a ridiculous story and uh we'll just go through the story and then we'll talk about how
00:03:38.260 it ended up on this website so cult montreal which does feel like a bit of a liberal cult
00:03:47.280 um canada named the most positive leader on the world stage canada is seen as
00:03:53.240 the number one influencer for the 10th year in a row what does that even mean
00:03:59.420 according to the ipsos world affairs report canada remains the top country expected to have
00:04:05.300 a positive influence on world affairs. Canada received a score of 80% among 23,000 respondents
00:04:12.460 across 30 countries in the Ipsos world affairs report. Also ranked among the top countries are
00:04:18.240 Germany and France, so two other failing countries. The study found that Iran and Israel were
00:04:25.440 considered to be the least likely countries to have a positive influence on world affairs.
00:04:29.640 since 2015 canada has enjoyed the most positive ranking in the ipsos world affairs report okay
00:04:37.080 so they asked a bunch of people who don't live don't live here thank you so much i don't get
00:04:43.260 news about us 20 oh 23 000 people are listening to like little clips of the cbc and think canadians
00:04:50.960 are doing great well isn't that awesome thanks so much for your input guys the point is you guys
00:04:56.140 don't live here you don't live here and you don't experience the oppressive overarching nature of the
00:05:03.620 liberal government this is crazy I don't care what international polling companies say when
00:05:10.520 they're not reflecting the actual reality of Canadians right and we've seen this play out in
00:05:15.360 reality in those stories of people who immigrate to Canada and they're like wait just where was I
00:05:24.360 how can i quickly renounce my permanent residency um but of course this turned up in cult montreal
00:05:31.240 because uh and this i know from my role as the president of the independent press gallery
00:05:38.220 cult montreal um direct grants from the federal government about 113 000 for their little online
00:05:47.060 blog but wait there's more because they also get local journalism initiative payments and that i
00:05:54.000 don't know the exact sum of and federal journalism tax credits. Now what I can tell you about the
00:05:59.620 federal journalism tax credits and the reason I can't tell you how much they got because I don't
00:06:05.320 know how big of a shop they have over there but those federal journalism tax credits amount to
00:06:09.720 about $30,000 in tax credits per newsroom employee for every newsroom that qualifies for it. But wait
00:06:17.160 there's more because they also receive direct funding from the Quebec government. So the Quebec
00:06:24.740 government also has their own weird little media fund and they received another $127,000 from them.
00:06:33.180 So we're up to about a quarter of a million dollars from this online blog plus tax credits.
00:06:37.540 What possible motivation could they have to tell lies about Canadians' experience?
00:06:43.220 crazy yeah i mean all you have to do is look around look around in canada and then ask yourself
00:06:54.220 is are you having a positive experience and do you care what a bunch of yes do you care what a
00:07:02.640 bunch of french people or germans or scandinavians do you really care about their viewpoint on
00:07:08.760 canada i don't i have to live here the euro fancies you know the euro fancy people that
00:07:14.420 mark carney so desperately wants to impress we're gonna we're just gonna take their word for it
00:07:19.760 yeah we have eyes and ears we can see our communities devolving in a real time and yet
00:07:26.540 they would have us believe they would go they were like guys guys guys ignore your eyes and ears and
00:07:31.540 just listen to what this bull has to say great news everyone great news it's going awesome have
00:07:38.200 Have you heard everything's going swimmingly in Canada?
00:07:41.540 Like these people don't even get news about us.
00:07:44.660 Right.
00:07:45.020 And the news that they do get is so heavily narrated by the mainstream media that it doesn't
00:07:52.320 bear any, you know, resemblance to reality.
00:07:55.740 Right.
00:07:56.000 They think of us as some sort of mighty mouse being crushed by the hand of the great orange
00:08:01.240 man.
00:08:01.940 The great orange giant is crushing us.
00:08:04.360 So they have this, like, affection for us, standing up to the mean Trump, and it's like, no, we're actually, things are bad, real bad.
00:08:11.560 They're real bad.
00:08:12.440 They're super bad.
00:08:13.660 Yeah.
00:08:14.680 This from Pierre Polyev, calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to stop the gas tax hike, Labor Day.
00:08:25.520 Cancel your Labor Day gas hike and all gas taxes until at least Canada Day 2027 to save families $1,200.
00:08:32.920 why do we have to just put this thing on hiatus why can't we just cancel it if it's
00:08:39.640 costing families twelve hundred dollars a year unnecessarily in 2026 why wouldn't the same be
00:08:49.060 true a year from now yeah no correct but if Pierre if Pierre Polyev really wanted to cut taxes
00:08:57.540 he would have he would have won the election okay I'm getting kind of tired of this we are calling
00:09:02.020 on the federal government to do a thing that they will never ever do we are calling them though we
00:09:06.480 are just posting things on the internet encouraging them to do the things that we would do it doesn't
00:09:11.560 work that way you have to win and i'm getting i'm actually getting overly tired of these um
00:09:16.480 of of these uh well these posts to be well and like he's true it's true yes it is true give us
00:09:24.980 give us a tax break yes of course but if it's costing me twelve hundred dollars unnecessarily
00:09:30.320 right now what changes in 2027 well nothing right so just get rid of it right well they should but
00:09:38.520 here's the thing the liberal government doesn't care about what we say that is that is that is
00:09:43.680 the entire downfall of all of these arguments that they should do but they should do they know they
00:09:48.880 should be costing Canadians less money but then that means that they would have to take a long
00:09:53.540 hard look at their spending at government spending and they don't want to do that it's way way easier
00:09:58.920 for them to give your $1,200 to a bureaucrat to do crappy things for the rest of the year.
00:10:04.480 Right. I just get sick of the incongruous arguments where they're like, we're suspending
00:10:09.480 the gas tax to give Canadians a break. Don't suspend it then. Get rid of it. If I need the
00:10:14.720 break today, I'll need it tomorrow. I promise you. Right. And again, again, conservatives could get
00:10:19.940 rid of it in its entirety if they were able to form government, which is still a problem. So,
00:10:24.560 so great so they're right and it'll remain a problem as long as the confederation is
00:10:32.940 is the way it is and the seats are the way they are yeah that's right that's right yep
00:10:38.660 um this story from our good friends i think it's sturgeon uh sturgeon lake creenation again
00:10:47.960 who is funding their legal challenges because these are the ones that got the petition
00:10:54.180 suspended um i want to know but since we don't have a first nations transparency act anymore
00:11:01.080 thank you justin trudeau we don't know right um alberta first nation marks legal win against
00:11:08.020 celebrity backed data center celebrity back yeah it's kevin o'leary's group uh o'leary digital
00:11:16.240 is behind the wonder valley project that would put a multi-billion dollar ai center
00:11:22.880 in the Greenview Industrial Gateway again another heavy industrial site northwest of Edmonton
00:11:30.560 south of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation so this isn't on Sturgeon Lake Cree land
00:11:34.940 but it's adjacent we apparently still need to consult them um and this is like ultra heavy
00:11:41.900 duty industrial again but that's a nobody knows it it's very nice this artist rendering it looks
00:11:48.940 that looks really beautiful star trekky oh it's it's like uh it's a campus okay this is like the
00:11:55.040 american style tech campus that's what this is look that's exactly what this is um but isn't
00:12:00.580 this what we're all supposed to be striving for is private investment in companies that believe
00:12:07.420 that their product is such a winner that they're going to put their own money on the line like
00:12:11.620 canadians have been conditioned conditioned really to believe that unless there is government
00:12:16.900 involvement of some kind unless government is given you know a full a full seal of approval
00:12:22.380 that these should these things should not uh move along and we're seeing by Sturgeon Sturgeon Creek
00:12:28.080 excuse me is it Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation? Sturgeon Lake yeah yeah Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation
00:12:33.260 how easily projects can be um can have a wrench thrown into them. You know I love the way these
00:12:41.160 things are reported six million i just need to convert something here because again the data
00:12:48.240 centers in alberta are not like data centers in other places as in they have to bring their own
00:12:55.560 electricity and they have to be closed loop water systems but the initial water has to come from
00:13:01.900 somewhere if you have paid attention to the weather this year we're not lacking on the water
00:13:07.240 Where on earth could you find the extra water?
00:13:12.080 Where on earth?
00:13:12.960 I know, us too, girlfriend.
00:13:14.480 Us too.
00:13:15.120 So I'm reading this.
00:13:17.280 It's not like, yeah, the water argument is so funny because it's not like it's in scarce
00:13:22.360 supply.
00:13:23.680 You know what I mean?
00:13:24.460 It's not like it's just so exceedingly rare.
00:13:27.120 And if this field were planted in canola, it would actually use more water.
00:13:31.680 If it were planted in corn, it would use more water.
00:13:34.760 but that is the their bone of contention so the lawyers for the first nation say the provincial
00:13:42.260 government had a duty to consult with first nations before the water license was granted
00:13:47.300 so uh the license was granted by the alberta government over a year ago
00:13:53.760 to the municipal district of greenview under the provincial water act it allows for the diversion
00:14:01.240 and let's and this is again the initial diversion because these are closed loop systems
00:14:05.720 of six million cubic meters of water from the nearby smoky river for the future center
00:14:12.520 now the river itself is on no some of the river right runs through treaty treaty excuse me reserve
00:14:21.260 lands right yes right okay so apparently they own then all the water i guess that's that's it
00:14:28.300 just if it goes through your property a river run a river runs through it it's ours okay i guess so
00:14:36.820 and but then six million cubic what was it six million cubic liters why didn't they measure it
00:14:42.000 in teaspoons why don't they give that to us in terms of olympic swimming pools like i need to
00:14:47.620 know how many olympic swimming pools six million cubic meters of water is again it's six million
00:14:52.540 cubic liters so if you're using a u.s liquid gallons it's about uh 1.5 million gallons of
00:14:59.560 water um if they take this in the spring it's just spring runoff um if you want it in uk imperial
00:15:07.680 gallons it's 1.3 million uk and canadian gallons um anyway they do this all the time when they
00:15:17.300 measure like spills oil field spills and they're like they measure it in liters and i'm like why
00:15:22.960 didn't you measure it in teacups you know make it seem worse while you're at it so you read this
00:15:29.260 and you're like six million cubic liters and it's a lot you feel like that's a million gallons which
00:15:35.600 is actually not a lot much anyway certainly certainly we can afford we can afford to take
00:15:44.580 take some out of a river without the river being drastically impacted never mind the river the
00:15:50.800 river upstream you know what i mean yeah because you're don't complain to me about flooding if
00:15:56.360 we're not allowed to use the water in the river sorry i don't want to hear it um but yeah what
00:16:02.460 really bothers me about this is the misunderstanding that how we do data centers in alberta is the
00:16:08.860 same as how they do data centers other places we put them in heavy heavy heavy industrial areas
00:16:13.140 that have already been set aside.
00:16:14.660 They have to bring their own electricity
00:16:15.780 so there's no problems with the grid.
00:16:21.180 And they're closely...
00:16:22.120 They're not taking power away from anyone else
00:16:26.200 because they have to generate the power
00:16:28.620 that they're going to require.
00:16:30.620 Right.
00:16:31.160 But what they're doing here to the data centers
00:16:34.680 is exactly what they are doing to the oil and gas sector.
00:16:38.320 They are using activist courts,
00:16:40.740 indigenous consultation and the terror of the regulatory regime to just scare away
00:16:50.080 business like kevin o'leary's like i want to spend billions billions right i want to put it
00:16:55.040 in your backyard i want to give indigenous electricians 300 000 a year that's what i want
00:17:01.000 to do and they're like get out of here the water but the water but the river have you considered
00:17:07.920 the river's feelings so what's going to happen these data centers are going to go somewhere else
00:17:12.880 they're going to be built why wouldn't we do it here do it right and get the job and that's i
00:17:17.500 think the but that's the point sheila gunner yes the point is that they do go somewhere else
00:17:22.920 they're going to be built just like oil and gas companies just just like oil and gas development
00:17:28.180 and resource development in the country of canada which is which has fled south of the border because
00:17:34.940 that's the only place that you can really do business and make some good money like it's crazy
00:17:39.300 well and it doesn't matter what their arguments are because if they say well it's using arable
00:17:44.780 farmland nope it's not uh it's using lots of water nope not it's using lots of electricity
00:17:49.780 nope not again now now we've got another argument who wants these american tech overlords to run the
00:17:57.580 data centers and kevin o'leary's like here's my passport and they're like not you either
00:18:01.600 you're not you're notadian enough enough for us that's right yeah mr uh mr kevin o'leary no he's
00:18:10.420 doing he's doing what the private industry is supposed to do which is spend their own money
00:18:14.180 and take a chance and make it work um but we'll see if the government of canada gets in his way
00:18:18.380 or if the if excuse me not the government of canada the um the uh earth activists get in their way
00:18:25.220 well with the government of canada because of course the the courts are involved ma'am think
00:18:30.220 of the bees that's what i heard at the mortal protest think think of the bees it's killing
00:18:37.100 the bees i'm like think of the think of the bees one of them said that these data centers are
00:18:44.920 killing the bees maybe the bees i thought we killed the bees what what was the last thing
00:18:49.400 that killed all the bees i forget things are always killing the bees yeah i can't remember
00:18:54.740 i can't remember they yeah bees seem to be terribly fragile like if you really think about
00:18:59.640 And they're just wee things.
00:19:01.040 I thought we killed them already.
00:19:03.220 That's my point.
00:19:04.600 Like, didn't we kill them already when we built that upgrader?
00:19:07.240 But no, we're still here.
00:19:08.960 Still here.
00:19:09.580 I would love to know who's funding all of Sturgeon Lake's legal challenges.
00:19:15.700 We're going to find out one day.
00:19:17.260 The truth always comes out in the wash.
00:19:18.660 Always.
00:19:19.560 Yeah.
00:19:20.040 Because, you know, they're challenging all these things that are specifically very anti-conservative.
00:19:26.800 Right?
00:19:27.080 Yeah.
00:19:27.240 yeah and legal challenges are profanely expensive don't we know it don't we know it
00:19:35.180 all right uh sort of good news bad news um the albertic government is delaying the rollout of
00:19:45.200 the flags um so this is from the globe and mail if you want to roll oh you know what i got it here
00:19:53.800 um the new rules were expected to take effect on september 1st in time for the school year
00:19:59.020 but what they're doing is staggering the rollout and i'm unclear why um in a statement from
00:20:08.040 education minister dimitrios nicolaides whom i like very much um said the government is still
00:20:15.180 committed to implementing the rest of the changes but he doesn't want to rush the process
00:20:18.700 why um it's so simple it's just flags what do you mean right i've seen them i don't want to
00:20:25.280 we've seen them take down a flag and put up another one like that's right i've seen it it's
00:20:29.260 not difficult just take that these stuff off the flagpole and put up the two proper flags and
00:20:36.200 that's it you don't need consultants you don't need uh public town halls this is an overwhelmingly
00:20:43.780 popular uh policy out of the provincial government it was passed but passed by ucp
00:20:50.660 membership at the agm if i recall correctly um this is part of a broader government uh philosophy
00:20:58.020 of getting politics out of the classroom about neutrality in the classroom why does this take
00:21:05.180 months to do just take it down i've seen people change a flag it takes minutes just do it well
00:21:12.180 And the crazy thing is, is teachers right now aren't in their classrooms.
00:21:17.600 And so that September 1st date was really important because it was going to guide the
00:21:22.700 teachers on what they couldn't put up in their classrooms.
00:21:25.200 So now, because we've kicked the can down the road some more, which I hate, what we're
00:21:32.520 enabling those activist teachers to do is completely outfit their classrooms for the
00:21:37.140 year and then try and get that back.
00:21:39.580 Like, this is such, this is actually such a disappointment, because you know that there's, there's entire left wing activist, teacher groups that are going to look through the legislation that they that they passed, and find all of the loopholes, you know, one of the legal challenge.
00:21:59.780 yeah sure sure and why would you give them that leeway like right now in the in the rules that
00:22:06.580 they were sort of you know it might address some of these one of the loopholes was you know you can
00:22:11.140 fly sports flags in your class like that's one of the things that you can do well teachers are
00:22:16.900 just announcing like i'm gonna order the pride flag from the oilers like that's their response
00:22:22.580 however i don't think pausing it pausing it or kicking it past september 1st is going to
00:22:29.300 is going to benefit the students of Alberta. And as a matter of fact, I think that this might
00:22:36.060 anger the base who was really excited to see somebody doing something about this.
00:22:42.360 Right. The government already has policies related to what the flags should look like,
00:22:50.340 like changing torn flags, what happens to the flags when they're torn, when things are flown
00:22:57.020 at half mass when they're not flown at half mass like somebody dies that's important that flag is
00:23:03.500 on half mass instantly that's right everywhere you guys know how flags work right there's a pulley
00:23:09.680 you put a new one on fire the new one back up it's done like dinner why why is this going to
00:23:15.840 take months yeah yeah no do it you can just do things this allows the worst kind of activists
00:23:23.820 to continue preying upon children that don't belong to them in Alberta schools like this is
00:23:29.780 sorry but this is so upsetting it's just so it's a rare fail by Danielle Smith's government but it
00:23:35.080 is a fail this is a right right they should have just moved at the speed of government which of
00:23:43.820 course takes months and we're months into this and just did it like just do it just do it like you
00:23:50.560 did the sports policy just do it that's right do who cares who cares go into consultations with the
00:23:58.380 with the teachers like what are you what are you going to do you're giving them time to line up
00:24:03.500 their arguments why this shouldn't happen why this is an infringement on their rights while
00:24:07.500 parents are desperate desperate to get their kids away from this right the whole point of this
00:24:14.200 neutrality in the classroom is that it has nothing to do with teachers opinions they're supposed to
00:24:18.940 keep their damn opinions to themselves. That's right. So I don't care what their opinions are
00:24:23.440 right now. And you're allowing them to open a door to keep doing this. It's just profoundly
00:24:29.100 disappointing. Just full steam ahead. I hope by October 1st, those flags are the hell out of the
00:24:35.900 classroom. Anyway, I think Lisa's frozen in the most awkward of position. Are you moving on your
00:24:46.300 my screen is not moving it's not oh wait you're good it's been back okay thank you
00:24:52.380 yeah uh you're you were frozen in the most wretched eye roll
00:24:57.500 that's why i do is why i have some such a face guys i want you to catch it at this point
00:25:05.800 you i rolled so hard you broke the internet at your house for a second
00:25:10.280 uh speaking of eye roll um i'm not watching it back i'll die i'll just die of embarrassment
00:25:18.160 i'm not i know i can't watch my own work either um also in alberta i think we're headed for a
00:25:25.140 legal fight with the feds and i say let's rumble uh the health minister who as ezra points out is
00:25:32.000 one of the dumbest people in cabinet and that includes melanie jolie and uh lena diab so
00:25:39.020 the health minister warns that our plan to expand private care may violate federal law yes
00:25:48.720 it is our duty as good civic-minded Canadians to die in a wait line
00:25:54.380 to meet the federal government's definition of Medicaid so Bill 11 allows doctors to work
00:26:04.620 outside of regular office hours to do surgeries and give care. And so it doesn't cut into people.
00:26:15.980 It doesn't kick people out of the existing line. It gives people an option to say, okay, I can wait
00:26:22.860 forever to get an appointment with my doctor on my lunch break to see a specialist. I might wait
00:26:29.520 nine months to see a specialist that I can see on my lunch break, or I could pay a little bit
00:26:35.820 or even a lot bit, depending on, you know, what it's worth to you to see him at seven o'clock at
00:26:40.840 night. Right. Who are you going to, which option are you going to take? Which option are you going
00:26:45.840 to take? Yeah. Yeah. And it depends on, you know, whether you're willing to wait, whether you're
00:26:50.400 not, but guess what? Now the wait line for the 12 o'clock appointment gets a hell of a lot shorter.
00:26:56.720 Well, it puts a lot more control in the patient's hands. And I think that that's one of the major, major complaints of Canadians is that the patient has absolutely no control over their own treatment at all. You're at the mercy of a system that doesn't care about you. But as it pertains to, as it pertains to this, it's like, well, the feds, the feds are upset. The feds are like, they're threats here. It's almost like a threat. You know what I mean?
00:27:23.280 yeah they're very concerned don't care well listen they're it's their rigidity and the failure of
00:27:31.000 their system that is making this a thing in albert and and every province like this is this
00:27:38.080 is certainly not unique to alberta the failing system but alberta is taking a real charge of
00:27:43.540 trying to fix on how fix the way people access it put more control in the in the hands of albertans
00:27:49.460 and their their rigidity is just sort of like this is why we want to get away from the federal
00:27:53.820 government right they make everything worse everything and here's the thing if rich people
00:27:59.360 want to get out of my lineup i couldn't be more pleased about it and at least this keeps the money
00:28:04.780 here in alberta because you know what rich people are gonna do right they're gonna go to hawaii and
00:28:10.540 have their knee replaced right or somewhere in the united states they're gonna go have that knee
00:28:15.680 surgery or their other elective surgery, they're going to go somewhere else. At least this keeps
00:28:21.960 the money here. Agreed. And the doctors here. And the doctors here. That's right. Like so many of
00:28:29.480 the complaints are doctors is that their, you know, their time is just dominated by the
00:28:35.760 administration side, by the administrative side of medicine. And this would allow them to practice
00:28:41.960 more freely i think that's i think that's awesome yeah yeah uh she said more people yeah she said
00:28:48.700 uh so uh what's her face um marjorie mckell i think is her name uh she said she's very concerned
00:29:02.000 about bill 11 which allows some physicians to provide publicly covered care while simultaneously
00:29:09.000 offering some privately paid services what they failed to note here is outside of regular office
00:29:15.400 hours and she sent a letter because she says why did i send the letter in the letter because for
00:29:22.240 sure dual practice i don't know how it can work within the canada health act she said it in
00:29:27.260 interview um i don't care i don't care so she doesn't know how it can work within the canada
00:29:34.300 health act but you know what doesn't work at all the canada health act that's exactly right
00:29:39.480 so we're trying right like albertans are dying waiting for care yep so yep it's an inefficient
00:29:46.020 it's an inefficient system that is killing canadians and yet we have the federal government
00:29:50.900 being like but what what do you mean we try try and kill less canadians is that what you guys are
00:29:57.260 trying to do albert how dare you get more people care faster why monsters yeah absolutely we won't
00:30:05.400 hear of it yeah no it's our civic duty to uh suffer and potentially die in a health care
00:30:12.920 weight line don't you know it's free real yeah it's free free it's $6500 a year uh out of your
00:30:22.680 taxes whether you use the system or not and then you can't use the system then they tell you you're
00:30:28.440 free to die yeah that's exactly right free healthcare um let's do one more and then we'll
00:30:35.280 hit an ad break okay okay this from ckpg today um concerns raised over draft sister city proposal
00:30:47.580 between Prince George, B.C., and Jiangmen, China.
00:30:53.320 What could possibly go wrong?
00:30:56.040 A heavy industrial natural gas town
00:31:00.100 partnering with spies from China.
00:31:04.080 So they say, the city of Prince George
00:31:06.100 is continuing to explore a potential sister city agreement
00:31:10.080 with Jiangmen, China,
00:31:11.720 a partnership supporters believe could create
00:31:13.660 new economic opportunities,
00:31:15.820 strengthening cultural ties what's a cultural ties what really what's a cultural ties you want
00:31:21.140 to strengthen china's china's relationship with british club i don't know how it could get
00:31:27.820 stronger on its own but are we not considering at all at all the national security risk this
00:31:35.240 would pose like anybody anybody no no you just want to prince george why do you think they want
00:31:40.780 you stop and think about that for a second why do you think they want you i want you to look
00:31:45.540 around prince george you can take a good see what you have good hard long look at yourself and be
00:31:51.280 like what is happening here yes um strengthen the cultural ties you know there's obviously a strong
00:31:57.480 chinese expat uh community in prince george british columbia and expand business relationships
00:32:04.520 however some members of council say more work must be done before any formal agreement is
00:32:11.560 okay wait wait wait the people the council prince george council said more work needs to be done
00:32:18.580 yeah before something is decided well these are the people that are these are the people that
00:32:23.040 will get the free trips to china if they do this like of course they're going to be like oh but we
00:32:27.820 just want to explore this relationship for like it's just going to take us a little bit more time
00:32:31.300 to to formalize this so we can so we can get it on this crazy train like it's crazy these people
00:32:38.300 should not be deciding the people hey prince george you want to partner up with a chinese
00:32:42.340 city right now at this precious time yeah yes or no um well i think if i read further down
00:32:51.740 we'll see uh well i'll just read the article and you guys can jump to your own conclusions
00:32:58.420 i want to see the pictures though olivia can you show me the pictures on the article
00:33:01.900 uh potential benefits it's being pushed by the mayor potential benefits identified by proponents
00:33:09.720 include include increased business to business connections educational partnerships oh yeah
00:33:15.280 you need some of them um expanded air cargo opportunities and stronger relationships
00:33:20.480 between institutions in both communities there can be a huge opportunity for our universities
00:33:26.480 for air cargo for the airport mayor simon yu said in july that requires multiple levels of people
00:33:34.620 to people and business to business engagement however counselor kyle sampson being the voice
00:33:40.960 of reason says council still lacks critical information needed to determine whether the
00:33:45.200 agreement or the arrangement would benefit prince george residents so anyway listen i just don't
00:33:51.660 think that elected officials should make uh should make an effort to prioritize the relationship with
00:34:00.080 their home country when they get elected okay like you're elected to serve the people of of
00:34:04.600 prince george not the people of china and i i just think that the lines you know what prince
00:34:09.640 george you need a sister prince george you need a sister city have you considered grand prairie
00:34:14.560 Alberta how about Yorkton Saskatchewan right uh Yorkton Saskatchewan yep Fort Saskatchewan you
00:34:22.400 know what I've Prince George has a very strong Fort Sask vibe last time I was there try us we'd
00:34:30.100 love to have you Saskatchewan is open like for for anybody in Prince George like what are we doing
00:34:35.600 guys what are we doing we have we have our federal government we have the government of Canada saying
00:34:40.760 the biggest threats like we have everybody just acknowledging the biggest threat to
00:34:44.480 to our national security is china and then we have this guy over here just being like well
00:34:49.520 but i know people there maybe yeah just crazy it's actually crazy right right like the nato spy
00:34:58.060 issue is at parliamentary committee today maybe let's resolve that mess before we start getting
00:35:05.060 into these economic and institutional partnerships with Chinese communities yeah who are we collabing
00:35:14.360 with who are we collabing with a better question is who are our elected officials collaborating

00:40:10.500 it yeah okay uh drea was back at universal ostrich farm or what's left of universal ostrich farm
00:40:18.480 nine months after the cfia killed an otherwise healthy ostrich flock um supporters gathered

00:41:12.320 cullingthecure.com stay tuned um because we're announcing uh the documentary screenings um
00:41:21.920 we're trying to do it all across the country like we did with our previous uh documentaries
00:41:26.020 and um yeah anyways it's it's going to be amazing i think drea showed the farmers
00:41:32.800 like look at this drea showed the farmers uh our trailer do we have is it do we have the trailer
00:41:41.280 ready to go on the website is it live trailer drake or uh olivia click on that what do we
00:41:48.260 oh that's the older trailer okay do you guys want to see it should we show it yeah i do i do i very
00:41:55.680 much do yeah okay let's this well this was a story that just gripped our attention in such a way that
00:42:00.640 nobody could look away i mean it was just like a slow motion train wreck over months and months
00:42:06.960 and months and months culminating in the most disastrous thing i mean yeah let's watch i i
00:42:11.920 like hearing about the ostriches thank you cases of the disease 36 bc farms 68 infected domestic
00:42:19.120 Fox 41 cases across central Alberta. They told us that killing was the only option.
00:42:30.000 That was not the oath you took. Did you hear those pops all night? Did you hear the life
00:42:34.480 being taken? That hundreds of healthy research ostriches and millions of other animals before
00:42:40.640 them had to be slain in the name of public health. Oh, you're rolling up the window.
00:42:46.000 you're bravely rolling up the window i knew it millions of poultry have been called because of
00:42:50.640 this and you know the hostages are higher profile does that mean they're more valuable everything
00:42:55.760 ducks turkeys broilers layers commonly death is the result this is a decision that is following
00:43:01.840 the uh the science and evidence you have no political agenda when it comes to analyzing
00:43:06.400 science i think that ostrich is sick bessie no she's not sick she's just an arsehole but what
00:43:13.040 if ottawa got the science wrong it's the golden goose that lays the golden eggs the treasure
00:43:19.520 troll of information a universal cure an opportunity we simply cannot ignore that right there
00:43:27.200 has the potential to truly help mankind and i believe that and what if the only way to find
00:43:32.480 the truth is for citizen journalists funded by the people for the people to prove it and thank god
00:43:40.080 for people like rebel news you talk about canada u.s cooperation don't you think it would be helpful
00:43:46.880 to have a friend next reporter messy oh you're not you're not going to answer minister next question
00:43:51.760 thank you thousands of people have tried emailing the cfia so that's why we're here in ottawa do
00:43:58.640 ostrich antibodies hold the cure let's find out culling the cure a rebel news documentary
00:44:05.600 they can attack farmers they can attack people they can attack you guys
00:44:12.160 so we have a new trailer uh i think we're just polishing it right now um adrea did an incredible
00:44:23.140 amount of work on that documentary it started off in one direction ended up going in another but
00:44:28.620 as you know i was at the ostrich farm twice maybe three times i forget um what an eclectic
00:44:35.580 cross-section of people you know you had uh property rights advocates uh people who were
00:44:42.200 concerned about uh biosecurity people who were just concerned about freedom um people who were
00:44:48.760 concerned about science like people who are saying these birds were some of them were sick a year ago
00:44:54.780 what does that have to do with now um and you know for the people who say well they killed nine
00:45:00.720 million other birds pulled commercial poultry um in the name of this stamping out policy that the
00:45:06.860 cfia uses and they're like what's the difference ostriches or or chickens chickens have a
00:45:13.520 maturity span from like egg hatched to broiler so ready six weeks this is 40 years of genetics
00:45:23.900 they just squashed yeah it's different it's different not to say not to say that chicken
00:45:30.140 farmers wouldn't experience a catastrophic loss. That's right. That's right. But it does bring up
00:45:37.180 questions. Are these rigid blanket regulations really serving the food producers of Canada and
00:45:46.280 the people of Canada? Really? These decisions are destabilizing things and have the ability to
00:45:51.680 destabilize things. Well, and also, if 9 million birds have been called in the stamping out policy,
00:45:58.440 at what point do you say perhaps we should invest some research into something other than a stamp
00:46:05.740 policy we've got nine we're nine million into this and the ostriches were a gateway to that
00:46:14.180 different policy and the government just said no you're the same as a chicken you're gone
00:46:19.880 anyway uh all right uh let's move along to the next story this one out of
00:46:27.080 saskatoon so i think it was about a week ago a guy was charged uh a guy i think it was caught on
00:46:35.280 camera yes a man charged he threw eggs at a saskatoon synagogue he was caught on camera
00:46:42.720 because like in the middle of the day yeah broad daylight in the middle of the day yeah he went to
00:46:47.340 the grocery store and got the big pack of eggs yeah i noticed that too so this is like malice
00:46:54.360 this is forethought he went down got the big pack of eggs not a dozen and went down to the synagogue
00:47:02.100 he did it in broad daylight it's the uh agudis israel synagogue he did it on august 4th well
00:47:12.540 uh sorry i think they the police were called on august 4th he did it on august 1st 11 30 in the
00:47:22.920 morning a carton of eggs threw them at multiple vehicles and sections of the building and now
00:47:28.960 he's been charged his name is Jaden Clark yeah he's from Dundurn that's yes just south of Saskatoon
00:47:36.660 between Regina and Saskatoon evidently turned himself in and uh and now he's gonna have to
00:47:42.540 answer for his actions but um I I mean I don't I don't see how anybody could think that uh throwing
00:47:51.400 eggs or anything at a at a congregation while they're while they're worshiping is going to be
00:47:57.080 met with any kind of support from from the community so we'll see how this goes uh bad
00:48:02.680 news for this guy though is that we've got some new hate crime laws on well except for except for
00:48:10.180 he wasn't charged with a hate crime well going to the grocery store grabbing two dozen eggs
00:48:16.620 two three dozen two and a half dozen eggs heading down to the synagogue and targeting the building
00:48:23.520 and the cars of the congregants yeah while they're apparently apparently doesn't amount to a hate
00:48:30.520 crime he was only charged with three counts of mischief under five thousand dollars well we'll
00:48:37.140 see we'll see uh wonder what motivated that um they'll ask um let's move ahead to this story
00:48:48.680 um from black locks reporter cbc has been cited for its pro-liberal agenda in government documents
00:48:57.100 so shush in government uh focus group polling uh canadians increasingly assume that the cbc
00:49:07.120 and other mainstream media have some angle or agenda well we pointed out to you why cult
00:49:11.760 montreal has their angle or agenda earlier and i assume that wait sheila are you you suggesting
00:49:18.300 oh am i frozen again i might be frozen i can still hear you um are you suggesting that they
00:49:23.960 may be motivated by the bags of gold that they get from the government to lie that's exactly it
00:49:31.200 and canadians are seeing right through it so and the government is well aware of this so
00:49:36.060 they have an angle or agenda in reporting the news with a particular political slant said
00:49:42.700 federal focus group research the in-house report found canadians go to reddit to see what people
00:49:48.220 are saying rather than relying on tv networks or newspapers participants across all groups
00:49:54.200 demonstrated significant skepticism towards individual sources of news and current affairs
00:49:59.200 emphasizing the importance of cross-referencing multiple sources traditional media outlets such
00:50:05.300 CBC, CTV, and major newspapers maintained relevance for some participants who valued
00:50:10.660 quote, vigorous or rigorous fact-checking and professional journalism standards.
00:50:16.220 Is that why they think people are tuning into the mainstream media, is to hear somebody
00:50:21.060 rigorously fact-check?
00:50:22.700 People tune into the mainstream media to laugh and joke about how disconnected they are with
00:50:28.440 reality.
00:50:28.740 That's the only reason we show them on this program.
00:50:31.200 And the only reason we show them on this program is because we paid for them and because it's
00:50:34.520 ours because we own it now because we have to pay them with our tax dollars but that's what like
00:50:39.500 that's what they think they're going there for even the people who said they watch cbc for their
00:50:44.480 professional journalism standards end quote uh noted that they stress the need to be wary of
00:50:52.720 who it's coming from and what kind of angle or agenda david cochran rosie barton um social yeah
00:51:01.580 And again, social media emerged as a dominant source of discovering news and information with participants describing passive consumption through scrolling their feeds.
00:51:13.340 And so what did the government do?
00:51:15.500 Made sure you couldn't get access to that through their shakedown of meta, which was like the number one source of news for older people.
00:51:24.600 Now they have to go directly to the CBC instead of seeing how people are reacting to the nonsense of the CBC.
00:51:31.580 Trust in social media varied widely. Some placed higher confidence in posts from official government sources or established media outlets, while others who displayed strong distrust towards official sources preferred user-generated content on Reddit and specific YouTube channels or podcasts.
00:51:50.220 Even the people who consume the CBC watch it with skepticism is the moral of the story there.
00:51:55.780 Right. The CBC has a hard time even getting Canadians to talk to them.
00:52:00.360 like truly it is hard for them because Canadians so do distrust uh distrust the narrative that
00:52:06.860 they've taken on almost every subject and it shows it shows it shows uh let's move ahead to
00:52:13.700 the star um the star I don't know I hear some noise happening from upstairs so I'm just going
00:52:22.160 to assume my cat has brought another bird into the house um I think he did I just heard a bird
00:52:28.680 chirping is there a bird in the house oh it's in the cat's mouth okay great that's the second
00:52:36.060 in two days the kids will take care of it um okay these pc right if you hear a kerfuffle in the
00:52:44.120 background that's my cat being uh an absolute orange menace um these pc writing associations
00:52:50.980 spent donor cash on oysters and axe throwing elections ontario filings reveal what is going
00:52:57.760 on in the pc party of ontario if they're not raking people for um on their expenses for you
00:53:08.700 like staying within 30 kilometers of yeah of the legislature for some reason now they're cleaning
00:53:15.380 out the revenues from the uh pc riding associations um and some of these are quite crazy uh fifteen
00:53:23.180 thousand dollars on organic grass-fed premium beef um that's a lot 34 that's a lot of beef
00:53:29.740 34 hundred dollars on oysters and delicate japanese tapas uh 485 dollars
00:53:38.300 four hundred dollars on oysters and tapas 485 at a toronto establishment serving the largest
00:53:45.820 selection of tequila in the country um the kind that glides down with serene notes of caramel
00:53:51.020 chocolate or honey i have never drank tequila like that before tequila makes me want to die
00:53:56.840 um then what do you mean it doesn't go down like fire for you like what do you mean it feels like
00:54:03.680 i've swallowed razor blades i'm drinking tequila some pay uh 1500 to throw axes and eat chicken
00:54:11.420 tenders that now i disagree with the cost and who they charged it to but that's more my kind of
00:54:17.940 party, if you know what I mean. $6,000 at a kosher chicken restaurant, $15,000 for organic grass-fed
00:54:26.240 premium beef that had been gently raised in the rolling pastures of King City. There was even
00:54:34.780 more. You know it's expensive when they give you an adoption certificate from where your beef came
00:54:40.720 from okay right that is when you know that you are ultra premium beefing it up yeah uh the one
00:54:48.520 who is least egregious was Doug Ford it sounds like so he on stupid expenses he spent about
00:54:58.760 $2,500 over a two-year period so um but some of these guys were particularly egregious
00:55:05.880 A $47,000 claim made each year by the PC Riding Association in Vaughn Woodbridge, and that's represented by Associate Solicitor General Michael Tabolo.
00:55:21.980 so not even he's not even the minister okay um it paid venue or rent event space 47 000
00:55:31.860 in each of the last two years for to bolo's annual chestnut roast fundraiser inviting
00:55:37.720 politicians police brass and community okay leaders if if it if it was a fundraiser
00:55:44.560 if it was a fundraiser uh and you need fifty thousand dollars up front to run it
00:55:50.480 every year i don't think i don't i don't think that that's a good that's a good representation
00:55:56.360 of a good fundraiser you know uh we've got stan cho who turns up in the other problematic expenses
00:56:06.160 with the you know expensive hotels when you are 25 kilometers from the legislature for some reason
00:56:15.100 he turns up in this with uh $70,000 as a two-year total on $70,000 fundraisers and stuff
00:56:24.840 do you guys remember when Bev Oda poor Bev Oda 16 bucks on a glass of orange juice in a hotel
00:56:31.560 breakfast now we got these guys a 70 grand yeah and the thing about bev oda it wasn't the 16
00:56:39.100 dollar orange juice uh you know it may it was the 16 juice yeah take me back though do you have a
00:56:46.540 bring me up a picture of bev oda smoking a cigarette please oh she's just please so i want
00:56:51.680 you to understand in a world of karen's be a bev in a world of oda of karen's be a bev so
00:56:59.800 she's a legend imagine these days the liberals who are and the pcs in ontario just spending money
00:57:06.060 like bev oda biggest crime was being cool i just love her just in her time dates and her ciggy
00:57:14.700 not with her fur coat just don't like that's just had it that's the host of commons in the
00:57:19.900 background bev oda outside in her awesome sunglasses just ripping darts bev oda's problem
00:57:27.740 was she was dangerously cool in a time of boring button down yes sweater vest conservatives that
00:57:36.860 was bevota's problem 16 in orange juice they ding you at the mini bar they do that's why you're not
00:57:43.180 supposed to touch the mini bar that's right yeah the liberals were never upset about the mini bar
00:57:49.320 costs like look how they spend money the problem is conservatives were like oh bev 16 bucks for an
00:57:56.100 orange juice we're we're trying to be the fiscal leaders conservatives couldn't abide it but the
00:58:02.920 problem is Bev Oda was so dang cool and she was a minority woman just doing cool things like
00:58:08.980 wearing sunglasses ripping darts outside the house of commons I I want more of that like more real
00:58:15.060 We should all be more like Bev.
00:58:17.300 In a world of Karens, be a Bev.
00:58:20.060 Be a Bev.
00:58:21.420 Always, actually.
00:58:23.260 Yeah.
00:58:23.980 Always.
00:58:25.820 All right.
00:58:29.700 Blacklocks.
00:58:30.360 Let's go to this Blacklocks article.
00:58:33.080 They admit growing rail protests to the Alto $90 billion high-speed rail project.
00:58:44.840 the monorail um so people don't like this thing except the handful of well-kept bureaucrats that
00:58:52.360 will use it to go from i don't know ottawa to montreal ottawa to toronto yeah yeah so while
00:59:01.600 early public engagement shows strong support i'm not sure about that the project increased is
00:59:06.860 increasingly scrutinized for its cost timeline potential impacts on communities in agricultural
00:59:12.200 land yeah they started the expropriation for this um the leg of this construction from ottawa to
00:59:18.620 montreal drew uh to the public meetings drew 13 000 plus participants more people are really
00:59:27.520 engaged in this more than the 5 000 originally targeted so this is going to take bureaucrats
00:59:33.860 basically from ottawa to montreal the entire country is going to pay for this thing most of
00:59:39.060 will never use it and um they're already paying executive bonuses out on this thing not an inch
00:59:47.840 of rail has been laid yet and then there's the whole conflict of interest stuff so francois
00:59:54.360 philippe champagne our finance minister and alto is a line item in the budget his wife is some sort
01:00:00.920 of vp of environment over there which is a as you know totally made up made up position and she's
01:00:07.700 one of the executives getting bonuses on this project where no work has been done yet so there's
01:00:14.360 that too so like just just voted on that budget he voted on the budget on a line item where his
01:00:22.700 wife is going to get rich it's going to directly benefit directly benefit like the the um
01:00:29.060 um well this is isn't this just par for the course for the liberals
01:00:34.740 is approving projects that are going to directly benefit them
01:00:40.420 and those in their immediate circles
01:00:42.900 while putting the rest of us on the hook for the payments.
01:00:47.220 I mean, it's gross.
01:00:48.800 Yeah.
01:00:49.560 It's gross.
01:00:50.940 And so another one of these ways,
01:00:52.420 another one of these ways,
01:00:54.000 the ways that some of these huge infrastructure projects
01:00:57.400 can negatively affect provinces
01:00:59.760 is they go into business with these huge engineering firms.
01:01:03.440 I think Atkins Realis in Montreal, right?
01:01:07.060 Like they'll somehow, one of these huge engineering firms is somehow going to be involved in this.
01:01:11.360 So they get billions and billions and billions of dollars, these huge engineering firms,
01:01:15.920 which then open up satellite companies in other provinces, then undercutting local companies,
01:01:22.300 because they make so much money on these huge infrastructure projects off the federal government,
01:01:27.760 that they make it a lot harder for local companies to operate.
01:01:31.860 So this screws us on many levels.
01:01:35.700 And here they are in the press telling us how most of the people are really super jazzed
01:01:39.680 about it.
01:01:40.380 Right.
01:01:40.740 They can use the local projects as loss leaders.
01:01:43.820 Sure.
01:01:45.620 It's gross.
01:01:46.920 It's gross.
01:01:47.960 And as you know, any major infrastructure project that the government undertakes expect, I don't
01:01:55.740 know, six, seven, 800% over budget.
01:01:58.520 That's right.
01:01:58.960 Because if they're involved, they screw it up.
01:02:01.860 That's how this federal government works.
01:02:03.780 I will give you $20 lease if this thing comes in under $150 million.
01:02:09.840 Will you?
01:02:11.040 Yeah, I will.
01:02:12.180 I don't think that the likelihood of that is very likely, to be honest.
01:02:17.660 It's going to be like every other project the federal government gets its dirty little fingers on when they take charge.
01:02:23.260 We know that it's going to get screwed up.
01:02:25.120 Pipeline.
01:02:26.040 Pipeline.
01:02:26.340 Yeah.
01:02:26.540 yeah but these guys like just and what what makes it even more insulting is that it only serves
01:02:33.200 them you know this this rail line will never ever ever serve the people west of uh toronto never
01:02:40.820 no never this is just for government bureaucrats this is like a hundred billion dollar project
01:02:47.000 vanity project for government workers to avoid a commute to be able to yep that's right to have
01:02:53.940 well to have a really luxurious commute we'll say yeah super luxurious and for francois philippe
01:03:00.580 champagne's wife to unreal yeah make a little scrilla in them it's a kleptocracy it's a we are
01:03:06.580 a functioning kleptocracy completely like he should not have voted on that budget he should be fired
01:03:13.780 yeah he should be fired yeah we should not it got even worse i just remembered part of the alto
01:03:20.900 hearings from the house of commons he brought in alto executives to write part of the budget
01:03:26.200 you know what guys just fill out on the withdrawal slip exactly how many billions you want and uh
01:03:32.980 we'll be happy to get that for you like his wife's working at alto as a made-up executive vp of
01:03:40.380 environment totally made up position obviously when does that job even do and then bringing in
01:03:47.100 the alto guys and paying them as consultants to help draft his budget speech because it's almost
01:03:55.100 too much isn't it guys and it's so in your face like it's so in your face and there's there's so
01:03:59.160 much corruption i'm like oh yeah i remember that too i remember that i forgot about that one
01:04:03.200 they don't even try and hide it because they don't have to yeah they don't have to it would be
01:04:07.460 amazing if some of our colleagues over there at the cbc ctv and global could look into these
01:04:12.940 these kind of things but no yep you know they would rather tell you about the wildfire risk
01:04:17.440 today show you a heat map of summer temperatures in Canada a heat map of summer temperatures where
01:04:23.080 like the the flaming red one is 22 degrees you don't you don't even know how to dress for the
