00:00:30.240 Welcome to our daily roundup, Rebel News, from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern,

00:00:35.260 where we dissect the news items of the day through a rotating cast of hosts.

00:00:41.240 And usually it's hosted by our chief correspondent and editor-in-chief, Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:00:47.240 But today I'm subbing in for her.

00:00:49.060 And my name is Tamara Ugolini.

00:00:50.740 And I'm joined by my colleague and friend, Alexa Lavoie in Quebec.

00:00:55.880 Alexa, how are you doing over there?

00:00:58.420 I'm pretty good.

00:00:59.060 But it's May Day.

00:01:01.760 So there is a lot going on today.

00:01:05.320 Yeah, that's right.

00:01:06.280 So happy May 1st to everyone.

00:01:08.560 I always, my sister sends me this funny Justin Timberlake thing.

00:01:13.100 We're on the calendar, you know, where he's like, it's gonna be May.

00:01:16.040 Anyway, for anyone who thinks that's hilarious every single year, it gets me.

00:01:20.080 I'm just so cheesy like that.

00:01:21.320 It gets me every time.

00:01:22.360 So whenever it's May 1st or April 30th, and I have that voice stuck in my head.

00:01:27.500 You know, Justin Timberlake, when he had like the Mr. Noodle hair, when they looked like dried Mr. Noodles, gets me every time.

00:01:36.600 But anyway, getting into the things that are happening.

00:01:39.780 So Rebel News has just announced that we are going to be hosting two emergency town halls on Alberta separation in two weeks.

00:01:49.380 So very short time frame out from here.

00:01:52.460 The events will be hosted by both Ezra Levant and Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:01:56.660 And of course, there will be some surprise guests included.

00:01:59.300 You can get all of the details at our new website and special campaign.

00:02:04.940 It's called donegettingscrewed.com.

00:02:09.660 So that obviously refers to Alberta.

00:02:12.820 And they will be on Monday, May the 12th in Edmonton.

00:02:17.100 And then Wednesday, May 14th in Calgary.

00:02:21.260 So you can find all of the details and get your tickets there at donegettingscrewed.com.

00:02:28.040 For anybody who has just tuned in, we're streaming on a couple different platforms.

00:02:33.440 So of course, we have been recently re-monetized on YouTube.

00:02:36.900 And we're streaming there on Rumble and also on X.

00:02:41.500 So if you'd like to join the conversation, you can send us a paid chat.

00:02:46.220 And we will read it and or answer it on air.

00:02:50.000 And so this goes obviously towards supporting our journalism and our continued broadcasting efforts.

00:02:55.240 On YouTube, it's a Rumble – or sorry, on YouTube, it's a super chat.

00:02:59.500 And on Rumble, it's a Rumble rant.

00:03:01.040 So depending on which platform you are watching us on, I know a lot of our viewers are still on YouTube.

00:03:06.980 And YouTube makes it a little bit easier to send those financial contributions.

00:03:11.960 So whichever platform you're on, send us some words of encouragement or some words of support.

00:03:17.560 And we look forward to hearing from our viewers because without you, we wouldn't be able to do this work.

00:03:23.320 So I think first on the day before we get into this May Day craziness, which Alexa, I know you have a lot of experience and familiarity with.

00:03:31.660 We will first get into some of Ontario Premier Doug Ford's reactions.

00:03:39.220 I know that they reacted a little bit yesterday on the stream to some of his comments, both pre and post election debate – or sorry, election results.

00:03:48.400 But here we have him saying that – or admitting, finally, rather, that this system is broken.

00:03:55.500 So, of course, referring to the criminal justice system that I would say doesn't really do any sort of justice these days.

00:04:01.880 So we'll have a look, a listen to what he says, and then we'll come back for some comments.

00:04:05.900 I'm just – there's so many great judges, first of all.

00:04:08.340 And there's great JPs.

00:04:09.760 I'm a strong believer in our judicial system.

00:04:12.300 But it's out of control now.

00:04:15.360 Like, you see these criminals getting out on bail, not once or twice, four or five times, and going out and committing heinous crimes.

00:04:23.560 The story that someone was out on bail five times and went and killed a young lady. 0.86

00:04:28.760 You know, this is absolutely ridiculous how these judges keep letting people out over and over and over again. 0.77

00:04:36.060 I'm just done with it.

00:04:37.360 We're going to hire tough-on-crime judges, tough-on-crime JPs to make sure that they follow the law and keep these people in jail because they're just being released.

00:04:49.340 You could go in and kick in a door, put a gun to someone's head with kids in the house, terrorize that house, and guess what?

00:04:58.100 By the time they get arrested and get out, it's the next day.

00:05:02.480 Then they start mocking our police in the back of the police car.

00:05:04.860 Don't worry, I'll be out by the time you start your shift.

00:05:08.120 And what happens?

00:05:09.040 They're out before they get, you know, before they come back on duty.

00:05:13.420 The system is broken, and there's a lot of terrible, terrible, bleeding-heart judges out there.

00:05:20.860 You know something?

00:05:22.140 If it happened to them, they might take a different look at it.

00:05:25.240 And that's not a knock against all the judges because there's good, qualified judges.

00:05:29.600 We have great chief justices.

00:05:31.660 Matter of fact, probably the best in the country.

00:05:34.860 But the system's broken.

00:05:36.520 And once these judges get into their position, they have this sense of entitlement.

00:05:40.780 That's what drives me crazy.

00:05:42.720 We were democratically elected as a government.

00:05:46.420 And I always say, you know, I always say the legislature is supreme, meaning the people are supreme.

00:05:52.240 When you get a mandate to do something, you can't have judges constantly overruling the government.

00:05:58.860 Or I have an idea.

00:06:00.180 I have an idea.

00:06:00.720 And again, I'm going to emphasize, not all the judges.

00:06:02.880 I've said it three times.

00:06:04.320 But why don't we have the next election, the PC party, the Liberal party, the NDP party, the Green party, and the judges party?

00:06:12.640 Because they overturn everything right down to the bike lanes.

00:06:16.000 So, you know, we get democratically elected.

00:06:18.180 He goes on and on a little bit here.

00:06:22.100 But you get the gist of what Doug Ford is saying.

00:06:24.600 And it's really surprising because this is not the stance that Doug Ford has previously taken, right?

00:06:30.100 Like this crime and chaos and disorder falling onto the streets in Ontario and arguably all across the country is not a new phenomenon.

00:06:37.700 This has been happening for years.

00:06:39.980 And we have been reporting on it at fixourcities.com, at our website there, where we highlight, I mean, it's primarily related to also the drug crisis.

00:06:49.940 But the two really go hand in hand, the violence and the fallout on the streets and the public safety issues and the idea that we can give addicts safer, right, with that R is really important, apparently, safer drugs that are highly addictive, highly deadly, and are now being found on the streets cheaper and cheaper, going right into the hands of our literally children and youth.

00:07:16.240 So this is a really interesting take.

00:07:18.040 The polls must be in for Doug Ford.

00:07:19.620 And he can see now that the party that he's pretty much part of, which I would argue is just kind of the little man in the Liberal Party of Canada, that he's now all of a sudden taking this stance against the crime and chaos the liberal policies have been directly responsible for.

00:07:38.660 And I do agree with him in a sense that, yes, it's true.

00:07:43.080 There is judges that have ideologies and, of course, they probably follow those ideologies when they take their decision.

00:07:51.880 And I think it's great if we elect some judges because we can make them accountable of some decision that they did.

00:08:00.880 But I think it's the liberals have put in place some bills that permit the judge to take those decisions.

00:08:10.360 So it's also a big part of the liberals' government that was there before and still there today with a new face.

00:08:22.280 But still, they need to repeal some of the bills that they actually voted in.

00:08:29.740 Yeah, we need another bail reform, right?

00:08:33.380 We need to reform the bail reform that the liberals brought in.

00:08:36.400 And I hear it all the time, even in the small town of Coburg, where crime, chaos, disorder, open air drug use, all of these things are proliferating on this one sleepy small town where people didn't even lock their vehicle doors.

00:08:51.020 They didn't lock their front doors.

00:08:52.220 This is a high-trust society and a high-trust community that is being rocked by these horrible policies and implementations.

00:09:01.140 And I hear it all the time that the same repeat offenders are arrested.

00:09:07.780 And then it's mountains of paperwork for the police officers to go through only to find out that they are back on the streets by the time they're done their shift or by the time that they are signing on to their next shift.

00:09:17.940 So they're seeing these repeat offenders over and over out in the community.

00:09:21.280 They are literally repeat offending in those same communities.

00:09:25.460 And so it really is demoralizing for both the community and the police officers who are trying to do their job to keep the streets safe and arrest these criminals.

00:09:37.380 But our judicial system is just, I mean, finally, Ford's calling it what it is.

00:09:42.880 It's broken.

00:09:44.060 And where was he, you know, last year, two years ago, three years ago?

00:09:48.240 I mean, a better late than never, I suppose.

00:09:50.360 But, geez, Doug Ford took you a while on this one.

00:09:54.120 Is that in Toronto that they were saying that put your key next to your door?

00:09:58.500 Yes.

00:09:58.940 Yeah, the Toronto police.

00:10:00.060 They were saying don't lock your vehicle door and leave the keys at the front door so that you don't get hurt when the thieves try to come into your home to steal your vehicle.

00:10:11.780 Well, that's how crazy it is in the city of Toronto.

00:10:16.540 And where was where was Doug Ford then?

00:10:19.760 You know, this is great that he's saying these things and taking this hard stance.

00:10:24.060 And a lot of people are saying, hey, this is the Doug Ford that I once voted for.

00:10:27.700 But it's just, my faith in people like Doug Ford is just not very high.

00:10:34.780 You can't already tell.

00:10:37.340 David Menzies and others have nicknamed him Flip Flop Ford.

00:10:40.920 And you can see that on full display.

00:10:43.120 Almost every single time he talks, you just wait for the pulling to come in or the winds to blow the other direction.

00:10:48.960 And all of a sudden, Ford is gone with the wind.

00:10:51.220 And so here we have another clip, actually, of him basically saying the same.

00:10:57.800 He's slamming the Liberal government, which I would argue he just kind of in a roundabout way, actually not even in a roundabout way, directly campaigned for or supported rather during the federal election.

00:11:10.360 He is now slamming them for allowing violent offenders back onto Canadian streets and wants to all of a sudden uphold the criminal code.

00:11:18.600 Have you spoken to the Prime Minister since that letter?

00:11:22.900 Have you gotten his attention?

00:11:24.080 If you have, is that something that was addressed when you guys spoke?

00:11:27.680 Yeah, I spoke to him yesterday.

00:11:30.140 But it's all the premiers.

00:11:32.320 This is a second letter now to the federal government.

00:11:35.680 You know, I got to give a shout out to Wab Kanu.

00:11:39.040 He's sending another letter as well, the premier of Manitoba.

00:11:43.360 The guy's an absolute champion.

00:11:45.200 And all the premiers have signed off on it.

00:11:47.420 When I did it the first time, usually it takes, you know, a week, two weeks to get a consensus.

00:11:52.520 I made 12 other phone calls to all the premiers.

00:11:54.960 Every single one of them said, we're in, we're in, we're in.

00:11:57.720 It didn't matter what political stripe.

00:11:59.660 And we have all three political colours as premiers.

00:12:03.740 But they all agree on one thing.

00:12:06.320 Let's stop the crime.

00:12:08.060 And this falls on the lap of the federal government.

00:12:12.900 They do the criminal code.

00:12:14.160 I have an idea.

00:12:15.260 The federal government, let us do the criminal code.

00:12:18.420 And I'll guarantee you, tomorrow, once we have a criminal code, then bang, this will stop immediately.

00:12:25.220 And we'll be building more jails.

00:12:27.180 We're already building jails. 0.65

00:12:28.400 But we'll be building more jails because these guys are going to be in jail.

00:12:32.460 And they're going to think twice about going and robbing someone when they know the sentence is going to be five to ten years in maximum security prison.

00:12:41.500 Watch how quickly it stops.

00:12:42.760 So it sounds like you're kind of lost confidence in the federal government.

00:12:49.160 How confident are you that this new government will do something about bail reform?

00:12:55.580 Well, I'm confident that hopefully the new prime minister, unlike the previous prime minister, didn't want to do anything.

00:13:03.020 The new prime minister, I have confidence that he believes in keeping communities safe, which I know he believes in that.

00:13:08.540 And I'm sure he believes in keeping criminals in jail.

00:13:12.700 So let's see what happens.

00:13:14.340 But, again, I'll be on them like an 800-pound gorilla.

00:13:18.160 Like I've never been on them before.

00:13:20.300 Because people are fed up.

00:13:22.240 They're done with us.

00:13:23.020 Oh, gosh.

00:13:23.600 Yeah.

00:13:23.840 So, I'm sorry.

00:13:27.160 What?

00:13:28.280 You think that just because they changed the face of the leader, that will change something when you have the exact same cabinet behind you?

00:13:37.880 I don't think so.

00:13:39.080 And you know what it looks like, and I'm pretty sure, make my words, but it seems like Doug Ford is now training himself to be the first opposition of the liberals and trying to crack down on the liberals and do the job of the conservative leader.

00:13:58.700 However, I don't know if he's training himself to maybe look for the position as the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, but it looks like.

00:14:09.480 Yeah, a lot of people are saying that he's kind of posturing himself to take on that role.

00:14:14.380 So that will be really interesting because I don't remember the last time that Doug Ford was on the Liberal Party of Canada, Justin Trudeau, Mark Carney, et al., like an 800-pound gorilla.

00:14:26.180 I mean, he's always like, oh, we have each other's backs and we're all in this together and we love working together and having, I like the way that Jamil Javi put it, the MPP force or the MP, I think it's for North Oshawa, anyway, somewhere in Durham, that he's out just having lattes and cappuccinos with Justin Trudeau.

00:14:46.600 And I mean, that is so, like the amount of truth that he spoke in those comments, and I think we've played that on the live stream earlier this week.

00:14:54.400 But for anyone who's not familiar with that clip, you can, it's pretty easy to find Jamil giving those remarks on election night after his win and heavily criticizing Doug Ford and how he conducted himself throughout the writ period for those 37 days.

00:15:12.020 But yeah, I mean, I guess it's, again, better late than never. Oh, there he is. Sorry, he's having lattes and cappuccinos with Carney.

00:15:19.960 I mean, these people are so just out of touch and, like, there's no adversity in their lives. So I guess it's better. Like I said, it's better late than never that Doug Ford is all of a sudden coming out of, you know, coming out of the gate with a bit of a backbone.

00:15:37.740 But we'll see if it's just empty words once again from Doug Ford and if the wind changes direction, which way he'll flop next.

00:15:45.960 And he say, well, let's build more jail. OK, look at the jail here in Quebec. There is recently someone who went on, I think it was the main person in charge of this union of the officer working in the jail system.

00:16:05.020 And they were saying, like, there is drone doing delivery of packages to the people in prison.

00:16:12.800 They have, like, a lot of different stuff, like, happening. Like, how come you are in the jail system and you can actually order Amazon stuff and being delivered straight to you without passing by the main person to look into the packages?

00:16:29.160 They are just bringing, like, at their window. And they can just remove the window and, like, take the package and put back the window.

00:16:36.840 Like, it's how the jail system is working right now. Some of them have, like, phone.

00:16:42.820 Some of them were able to bring so many different devices into the jail system.

00:16:48.340 Now they can also threaten the people that are outside from the prison to show, like, oh, they are badass and they are going to go after you if you are doing something.

00:17:00.360 So the jail system in itself, as a building, it's broken.

00:17:06.160 Yeah, that reminds me, too. There was a piece out a couple weeks ago.

00:17:09.180 Yeah, there's the Quebec man arrested for the drone drop.

00:17:13.600 But just a few weeks ago, actually, maybe it was only last week or the week prior, but inmates are now going to be able to access the Internet.

00:17:21.760 They're going to be given phones, tablets and Internet access, which has not happened previously.

00:17:28.480 So not only is it difficult to retain these criminals and actually get them behind bars, but once they are behind bars, the rope that they are supposed to be bound by is just being loosened and loosened and loosened and is becoming more comfy and cozy.

00:17:46.700 I mean, jail is not supposed to be a pleasant place to live.

00:17:49.700 And jail is supposed to be a huge punishment for those criminals to think twice when they go out of the jail, if they will repeat again criminal offenses.

00:18:05.460 And this is not something that would deter them.

00:18:08.460 They would just do it again and again, because when they go into jail, they have everything that they need as access to everything.

00:18:16.340 So where is the determined for them to not doing again and again and again a criminal offense?

00:18:24.880 Yeah, exactly.

00:18:26.100 There's no deterrence.

00:18:27.540 And the criminals are laughing, as Doug Ford says in the back of the police crews are going, I'm ha ha.

00:18:32.820 Look at you.

00:18:33.500 Now you have to do mountains of paperwork, use up and tie up your time and your resources to finish all this paperwork.

00:18:40.440 And they'll probably be back on the street before they're even done submitting all that paperwork.

00:18:44.960 And the criminals, the repeat offenders, they know that.

00:18:48.200 They know how to scam the system.

00:18:50.340 They're becoming more familiar with the lax rules.

00:18:52.840 And there is no accountability and there's no deterrent for them to, you know, live a straight and clean and sober life.

00:19:02.740 So that's really, that's going to bring back street justice eventually, right?

00:19:08.260 If there's no actual justice, then people will start taking things into their own hands.

00:19:13.600 And that's the territory that you don't want to be in when you live in a high trust society that's supposed to have checks and balances in place to uphold public and community safety.

00:19:24.820 And when those things aren't happening, well, then people become increasingly frustrated and emboldened to take matters into their own hands.

00:19:32.520 So something better change here because I think that's probably the trajectory, as sad as it is, that a lot of communities are in currently with the current state of affairs that we have.

00:19:42.960 But also adding insult to injury is the downturn, as Global News puts it, of the Canadian economy.

00:19:53.380 And a lot of us throughout the COVID handling saw kind of the writing on the wall, like this wasn't difficult to see four or five years ago, after the massive global lockdowns and shutdown of the global economy, that this would result in the inevitable fallout of supply chains and those economic stability and security.

00:20:14.480 And so now we have Deloitte predicting a downturn for the Canadian economy, calling it walking on a tightrope.

00:20:24.080 And they say that Canada is likely to experience an economic downturn later this year.

00:20:28.980 Business confidence is cooling.

00:20:30.780 Investments are stalling.

00:20:32.120 I mean, obviously, Canada's economy is walking on a tightrope.

00:20:35.040 But this may be our moment to build a more resilient, productive and diversified future, they said in the spring edition of their economic outlook.

00:20:44.480 Of course, there it is, right?

00:20:45.960 Like, kind of capitalizing on Carney's campaign verbiage that we're going to build a more, a greener economy.

00:20:55.880 And we have this opportunity, right?

00:20:58.520 They make every crisis into an opportunity to move forward their own net zero agenda and policy implementations.

00:21:06.980 And so I think this will probably serve as a bit of a sounding board for someone like Carney, who's going, wait, no, we need all these, we need billions more of taxpayer dollars to invest into a green economy.

00:21:20.840 And I think that's probably where this is kind of going, because otherwise, things are stagnating, and it's going to be difficult times ahead, especially as the tariffs unfold.

00:21:32.700 And we face hundreds of thousands of layoffs across Ontario alone, not to mention what it's going to look like in the rest of Canada.

00:21:40.720 We'll see what will happen with that, but I will say that the future of Canada, at least like the soon future, look a little bit dark.

00:21:54.620 Yeah, absolutely.

00:21:55.300 And I don't think that net zero policies or trying to build this electrical grid is going to be the saving grace for all of that.

00:22:03.920 Let's open up what we have that's reliable, get our oil and gas sector ramping up speed, and start utilizing the vast amount of natural resources that we have basically, literally at our feet.

00:22:17.820 Um, because continuing to squash that and not utilize it is obviously going to continue this economic downturn, as they call it, I would say, we're already in a in a recession, it's just been, um, inflated, literally by by money printing.

00:22:35.020 And so Canadian, like you don't feel it as much as maybe you should, but if the lineups at food banks are any indication, we are already in a recession.

00:22:44.540 And depending on what happens with the global trade, and the US tariffs, things are only going to get worse from here.

00:22:53.120 And the fact that you bring up the power grid, look at what just happened to France, Spain and Portugal, they had the major blackout.

00:23:02.980 And some of them say that something went wrong with the power grid, but some people are blaming the net zero, uh, the fact that they are trying to push all those green energy projects that cause a major, major cuts in those, uh, in those countries.

00:23:23.200 Yeah, exactly.

00:23:24.440 And it's just the capacity is not there.

00:23:26.380 It can't support it.

00:23:27.260 And so that's going to be a more commonplace occurrence.

00:23:30.600 If we try to just move to such an unstable, unreliable energy source, those things will happen more often.

00:23:38.540 And what do you do in a country like Canada, where we have, you know, minus 20, minus 30 weather, and you all of a sudden, your entire energy source fails for how many days for how many hours?

00:23:51.100 Um, Canada needs, um, Canada needs, um, Canada needs reliable, consistent energy, and the, the electrical grid is obviously not equipped to provide that.

00:24:02.380 Mm-hmm.

00:24:03.660 Mm-hmm.

00:24:04.380 Now, Alexa, you had a fun tweet, just switching to more of the election fallout, um, where you highlighted how much Pierre Polyev's riding was redistributed.

00:24:20.200 So it was, uh, amalgamated with a really heavily, um, liberal riding.

00:24:26.460 And so do you want to walk us through your tweet there and what you found on the map?

00:24:30.960 Yeah.

00:24:31.520 So they, so previously before, so in 2012, uh, the riding of Canada, um, Canada Cardleton and the riding of Cardleton was created.

00:24:43.020 And in 2015, um, the, um, the Canada Cardleton riding had been liberal since, uh, since now.

00:24:55.160 Uh, and the Cardleton riding was conservative by Pierre Polyev.

00:25:00.220 But in 2022, and that is the same year that Pierre Polyev won the leadership race and, uh, started to be the leader of the Conservative Party.

00:25:11.780 His riding changed because Election Canada did a redistribution and now you can see that the Canada riding went by itself and the rest of the Canada Cardleton riding that used to be liberals have been annexed to the Cardleton riding.

00:25:31.740 So we, we, we can see now a part of the riding being added to Pierre Polyev riding.

00:25:40.300 And so this riding was, used to be liberals.

00:25:44.100 So this is one of the facts that can have contributed.

00:25:48.320 Also the 91, a candidate on the bayat and also another point.

00:25:55.860 So I would look at into the numbers and in 2021 NPD where NDP was pretty heavy was 8,000 and something, uh, votes down to 1,000 and something votes for 2025.

00:26:13.560 Those votes went to the liberals.

00:26:15.740 Also before in 2021, uh, the PPC was there, wasn't there, uh, this time.

00:26:22.880 I didn't see it on, um, uh, on 2025.

00:26:26.560 So that was a thousand and something vote that went probably to the conservative.

00:26:31.300 The Green Party, uh, went down to thousand and something to 565.

00:26:37.840 And also you need to count, uh, the, a thousand other vote that went to random candidate, you know.

00:26:45.740 Uh, but on that, when you look at the, just the number of numbers, you can see that what was added was about like in between 10 to 15,000 more votes.

00:26:59.500 But that comes from the extent riding that was annexed to Pierre Polievre riding.

00:27:07.840 And that riding was mainly liberals.

00:27:10.960 So there were a huge chance already with all those factors that Pierre Polievre might end up losing his riding.

00:27:20.280 Yeah, and I found it really odd to, I mean, the 91 candidates thing, and I'm glad that you explained it.

00:27:27.760 I mean, that in and of itself is really odd.

00:27:29.460 I think Carney's riding of Nipian had five or six candidates.

00:27:33.740 Jagmeet Singh had, you know, similar four or five, um, candidates running.

00:27:37.960 But I also found it really interesting, and I can't seem to find the exact percentage.

00:27:44.060 But Polievre's riding, um, had the highest number of early voting turnout.

00:27:51.480 Um, almost half of eligible voters came to the early vote or the early, um, polls.

00:27:57.320 But then they also had substantially higher numbers than the national average of voter turnout.

00:28:03.620 So we had a high voter turnout.

00:28:05.600 I think it was, uh, 68% this year total.

00:28:08.900 But in Polievre's riding specifically, if I remember correctly, and again, I can't find the exact percentage,

00:28:13.740 but I believe it was something like 78% of eligible voters.

00:28:17.660 So 10% higher than our national average.

00:28:21.480 And that is pretty substantial.

00:28:23.960 Um, but again, you need to count the fact that there is more voters for the 2025.

00:28:31.200 Like, it's not just, it's, we can't compare a riding that was not the same demography than

00:28:38.700 before and compare the number.

00:28:41.320 It's not working like that.

00:28:43.380 And now you have, um, a percentage of the population that might have voted.

00:28:49.740 And, and now we have more people who can vote than the year before.

00:28:55.860 So, and I think that's explained everything.

00:28:58.720 Um, yeah.

00:29:00.840 Yeah.

00:29:01.480 Well, it's really interesting.

00:29:02.900 I mean, someone who's held that seat for 20 plus years, all of a sudden they are the

00:29:07.480 conservative leader now.

00:29:09.460 And so they need to retain their seat.

00:29:11.940 Um, and suddenly thanks to amalgamation voter turnout, uh, they all of a sudden do not and

00:29:18.340 lose by a substantial amount.

00:29:19.460 I mean, 2000 or just under, um, 1500 votes.

00:29:23.540 I mean, that's a pretty substantial loss for Polyev, but it makes sense when you amalgamate

00:29:28.100 such a strong liberal held riding into, into one.

00:29:32.740 And we had that here also my riding, um, used to be Northumberland, Peterborough South, or

00:29:36.800 I think that's provincial Northumberland, Peterborough South.

00:29:38.720 It was something else federally Northumberland.

00:29:40.760 And there was a couple names thereafter.

00:29:42.680 Um, and it's just been amalgamated now to be called Northumberland Clark.

00:29:45.780 So, and, and kind of the school boards are doing all of that, the municipalities, every

00:29:50.240 a lot, there's a lot of, um, weird border shifting amalgamation things happening kind

00:29:56.640 of at all levels of government as it seems right now, provincially, municipally, um, locally,

00:30:02.140 and then of course, federally.

00:30:04.120 So, uh, we saw that happen in the federal election.

00:30:08.220 I think that's only going to continue to happen on all those other levels of government as

00:30:13.840 well.

00:30:14.100 So that's a, an interesting thing to point out and kind of keep an eye on.

00:30:18.640 Um, we have a couple of super chats here that I'll get to, and then maybe we'll go to an

00:30:22.720 ad break to break things up a little bit before we get into some more stuff.

00:30:27.480 Alex Greer gives two 79, thanks $2 and 79 cents.

00:30:31.480 Thanks, Alex.

00:30:32.580 Uh, très bon Alexa.

00:30:34.200 I hope my French is absolutely terrible. 0.94

00:30:36.720 Um, très bon Alexa and great work Tamara.

00:30:39.400 So thanks so much, Alex.

00:30:40.740 And then Alex Greer gives another, uh, Oh, where did it go?

00:30:46.040 13 99.

00:30:47.240 That's great.

00:30:47.800 Thanks so much, Alex.

00:30:48.760 And then, uh, what does this one say?

00:30:51.040 Politicians never lie.

00:30:52.460 Gives $3 and 33 cents.

00:30:55.100 Hottie plus hottie. 0.97

00:30:56.300 Keep up the great work.

00:30:57.420 Well, thank you so much.

00:30:58.700 Uh, we really appreciate that.

00:31:00.060 And, um, yeah, so let's run, or actually while we have everyone here, maybe we'll do a quick

00:31:05.100 rumble ads, ad script before we head into a rebel news ad break.

00:31:10.360 Cause again, this helps keep our operations afloat.

00:31:13.760 So this one comes from rumble.

00:31:15.700 So this sponsorship is from rumble.

00:31:18.220 One that is incredibly important to the survival of the company.

00:31:21.140 When rumble first started in 2013, they built the platform for the small creator.

00:31:26.900 They didn't censor or have biases biases.

00:31:29.980 They were fair and treated all creators equally.

00:31:32.820 No one thought platforms would censor political conversation or censor opinions on COVID, but

00:31:37.960 they did.

00:31:38.960 Facebook admitted they fell to pressure from the Biden and Harris administration.

00:31:44.040 Rumble did not.

00:31:44.880 They held the line.

00:31:46.060 They are attacked daily for giving us a voice to talk to you.

00:31:49.660 They are attacked in corporate media.

00:31:51.780 They're attacked by governments like France, and they're attacked from brand advertisers

00:31:55.540 who refuse to work with them.

00:31:57.760 Corporate America is fighting to remove speech.

00:32:00.700 Rumble is fighting to keep it.

00:32:02.940 Rumble won't survive with brand advertisers.

00:32:05.140 They don't get much of it.

00:32:06.640 So watching our show on rumble is the most they can ask from you.

00:32:09.540 But if you really believe in this fight, and if you have the means, one major way you

00:32:12.780 can help rumble survive is by joining rumble premium.

00:32:49.780 Do you agree with me?

00:32:51.100 Do you agree with me?

00:32:51.980 It is time to make Canada great again.

00:32:55.740 And that is why we at Rebel News have teamed up with MCGA hats to introduce, well, the fashion

00:33:04.280 sensation of 2025.

00:33:06.740 Oh, and by the way, these beautiful hats, they are made in Canada.

00:33:41.300 Let everybody know you want to make Canada great again.

00:33:46.140 Let's face it.

00:33:47.360 Canada's economy isn't heading in the right direction.

00:33:50.600 Inflation's eating away your savings and government debt is out of control.

00:33:57.260 No politician is going to fix that overnight.

00:34:26.180 And hey, make sure to mention Rebel News.

00:34:29.920 Why should you join Canada's National Firearms Association?

00:34:34.840 We currently have one of the most aggressively anti-firearm governments in our nation's history,

00:34:40.940 promoting fear and placing blame like never before.

00:34:43.900 Our rights, freedoms, culture and heritage, it's all on the line.

00:34:50.020 But we are fighting back, and there is strength in numbers.

00:34:53.680 We work within the law to change the law, to defend competitors, hunters, collectors and other law-abiding firearms owners.

00:35:01.540 We can get through this.

00:35:03.420 We've done it before.

00:35:04.900 And we'll do it again, if you are with us.

00:35:07.880 The Canada's National Firearms Association.

00:35:13.500 Freedom, safety, responsibility.

00:35:18.940 All right.

00:35:20.460 So today we have one of the first payouts that Google has given to Canadian news outlets.

00:35:29.720 And of course, these are the official legacy news, registered, government-approved media.

00:35:36.460 And I'm going to have a full video out on this, so I don't want to get too deep into the weeds of it.

00:35:41.180 But the headline says, we'll just read that, more than 100 media outlets have received $22.2 million in Google payments.

00:35:51.080 It's a journalism group, so it kind of, I think it's a non-for-profit, but it oversees the distribution of money.

00:36:00.860 And this is in response, of course, to Bill C-63, the Online News Act.

00:36:07.420 And so these organizations have been given more than $1 million each.

00:36:15.640 And maybe let me just see if I can pull up the direct link from the Canadian Journalism Collective.

00:36:22.860 Because I want to show you just really quickly the magnitude of funds that they get.

00:36:30.100 And so this is about halfway down the page.

00:36:35.680 And so, yeah, this is being divvied out by the Canadian Journalism Collective.

00:36:39.760 And they break down here all the recipients of this journalism funding.

00:36:45.500 So you can see the very top here, Canadian Press, $1.3 million.

00:36:51.280 Globe and Mail, $2 million.

00:36:53.520 Metroland Media Group, $1.9 million.

00:36:55.920 Post Media, $4.2 million.

00:36:57.940 Black Press, $1.3 million.

00:36:59.660 And, you know, it literally goes on and on.

00:37:03.260 A lot of the smaller outlets also receive at least six figures.

00:37:08.400 You can see Glacier Digital Media Limited, you know, got $397,000.

00:37:15.500 And this is only 60% of their estimated total.

00:37:21.860 So this money, it's only going to become higher and higher amounts.

00:37:27.660 And then an interesting part of what the CTV News article states is that the totals will rise beyond current estimates when the collective works out whether any applicant outlets are ineligible.

00:37:42.620 So that would allow previously earmarked money to flow to the media businesses that meet the requirements, right?

00:37:51.960 And we know that Rebel News doesn't meet those requirements because, well, we speak truth to power and criticize the government.

00:37:58.920 So why would a government-funded news corporation want someone like Rebel News to be able to get the benefits of what these media organizations get?

00:38:10.200 And again, I'm going to have a full video out on this where I break some of it down.

00:38:13.960 But essentially, you know, they're saying that this is like compensation for the journalism that the mainstream media does.

00:38:21.200 And I would say that it's more of a corporate power grab dressed up as charity and also a direct threat to independent small creators like us here at Rebel News.

00:38:31.260 Yeah, there is a lot, but guess who is getting the biggest part of it?

00:38:38.580 CBC!

00:38:40.320 6.7?

00:38:43.180 6.8.

00:38:44.220 Yeah.

00:38:44.540 6.8 million.

00:38:48.280 Can you believe it?

00:38:49.380 They get, it's not on that list, so you have to kind of go through and then tally it up.

00:38:54.720 This CTV was the one that wrote that specifically about CBC, that they will get 7% of the total payout.

00:39:06.160 So yes, this equates to roughly 6.8 million.

00:39:08.600 And again, this is only the first one, so there is going to be more.

00:39:11.320 And then depending on the eligibility of these other smaller outlets, if they're found to be ineligible, then the money that was going to be divvied up to them would be then redirected into some of these bigger outlets.

00:39:27.820 So this is just 60% of the total payout.

00:39:31.720 We'll see what the other 40 looks like in the weeks and months to come.

00:39:35.120 But this was basically a way for Google to be exempt from the Online News Act.

00:39:42.700 They agreed to pay out news organizations.

00:39:46.840 And, you know, it further contributes to the censorship that we've seen over the last few years because why, just like the way the legacy media parrots and promotes the Liberal Party of Canada, who bails them out to the tune of millions of dollars every year, why would you bite the hand that feeds, right?

00:40:04.260 So now we have big tech, big gov, and a lot of the big tech is funded also by big pharma.

00:40:10.500 So you have these three massive entities just in bed together here.

00:40:17.000 So this is just a cesspool of compensating one another to pat each other on the back and promote your policies, theories, products, etc.

00:40:28.260 I don't know most of them.

00:40:31.640 I've never heard of them.

00:40:33.940 Like, I'm looking and I'm just like, okay, I'm trying to find some that I know.

00:40:38.460 And I'm just like, come on.

00:40:40.080 Okay, I know McLean.

00:40:42.720 But like the rest is really not some media I've never heard of.

00:40:48.000 Yeah, there's a lot of, again, just smaller creators.

00:40:52.220 But there's a lot that even I haven't heard from.

00:40:54.720 It's interesting once you go to the Canadian Journalism Collective directly, right?

00:40:58.380 Because I like to source my stuff direct.

00:41:00.640 I don't like to trust the mainstream media.

00:41:02.700 I don't like to, I don't trust anybody.

00:41:04.220 I want to say, you know what, well, where did you get that information from?

00:41:06.860 I like to go back to the direct source.

00:41:08.660 So when you go back to the Canadian Journalism Collective, it's interesting to kind of sift through what they've been publishing, what organizations are compensated in here.

00:41:20.000 And then again, I'm going to have a full report.

00:41:21.680 So I don't want to get too far into it.

00:41:23.540 But the Canadian Journalism Collective, they actually get an administrative fee for doing this crucial work to divvy out the funds.

00:41:34.860 And it's a lot of money.

00:41:36.380 It is a million.

00:41:37.160 Oh, Alexa, you gave it away.

00:41:40.520 Yeah, so like all around, this is such a cash grab.

00:41:44.760 It is crazy.

00:41:46.440 But I will have a full report out on it, breaking some of it down.

00:41:49.900 And I hope that you will still stay tuned for it, even though we chatted about a lot of it here.

00:41:55.440 But always direct source.

00:41:56.700 Go back, read for yourself.

00:41:57.960 Like they're trying to hire independent directors, a board of directors.

00:42:03.540 They're, you know, it's like you guys are taking two million dollars from this already.

00:42:10.820 You haven't even hired an unbuds person.

00:42:14.440 They're not called an unbudsman anymore.

00:42:16.240 I can do it.

00:42:16.620 I can do it for two million.

00:42:18.300 Right?

00:42:18.700 How much are these people making when they just skim off?

00:42:22.520 Oh, we'll just take a, you know, a skim.

00:42:24.520 We'll just skim two million dollars off the top there before we divvy it all out.

00:42:28.340 But, but anyway, that's the state of the legacy media here in Canada.

00:42:34.680 And of course, I've lost my place here on where we are in our segments.

00:42:39.140 Oh, we have a good clip here from independent journalists, speaking of which, the ones that

00:42:43.880 aren't government funded.

00:42:45.400 And this is the kind of work that you can do when you're an independent who's not government

00:42:50.320 funded, who doesn't have to worry about biting the hand that feeds from Google and

00:42:54.520 arguably their parent company, Alphabet Inc.

00:42:58.400 This comes from Chris Dacey in Ottawa, asking some accountability questions of the newly

00:43:03.320 elected Prime Minister Mark Carney.

00:43:06.800 Mr. Carney, you ran a fear-based campaign focused on Trump.

00:43:10.400 Elbows up.

00:43:12.400 I did, actually.

00:43:13.580 Why does Trump prefer you over fear of all of you?

00:43:17.240 Why does Trump say you're a few less?

00:43:19.540 Are you playing for fear of all of you?

00:43:21.560 Do you play?

00:43:22.000 Do you plan to do, do you plan to do anything about the weekly hate marches here in Ottawa?

00:43:31.460 We have weekly hate marches here in Ottawa, assaults on independent journalists.

00:43:36.840 Should you maybe call back Parliament?

00:43:39.140 Parliament's been prorogued a very long time.

00:43:41.880 Should Parliament come back and skip summer vacation, Mr. Carney?

00:43:45.380 Do you think mocking the independent media, the only people here questioning you, is a good

00:43:52.720 way to start?

00:43:53.340 The press is to hold our leaders accountable, sir.

00:43:56.100 And we will do that.

00:43:57.340 Thank you.

00:43:57.960 Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

00:43:59.720 Bye now.

00:44:00.620 I look forward to our next meeting, Mr. Carney.

00:44:03.020 At least Carney didn't start yet to wave to people who are inexistent, as Trudeau did.

00:44:16.080 Well, and it's funny because Chris writes right under his post on X that one immediate takeaway

00:44:23.440 is that Carney is sharper than Trudeau, you know, because he immediately was like, oh, did

00:44:28.280 you practice that first?

00:44:29.940 And I mean, that's whatever.

00:44:33.300 It's snarky, unnecessary, kind of a weird comment to come from someone who is supposed

00:44:37.620 to answer questions from the public, right?

00:44:39.720 Like, why do you think that you shouldn't be asked these things?

00:44:44.940 But anyway, it'll be so fun to see what else he's asked and how else he responds.

00:44:50.520 Because if his campaign was any indication, you know, he really doesn't do well facing accountability

00:44:58.280 questions from the media and his decorum and his ability to handle himself with grace and

00:45:04.920 eloquence.

00:45:06.340 Sometimes he showed his true colors.

00:45:07.860 You know, when he told Rosemary Barton to look inside herself and he had a couple other

00:45:12.400 weird comments to media, you know, who were asking about his conflicts of interest and

00:45:16.540 his financial situation and his meetings with Beijing.

00:45:20.440 I mean, the amount of times he's already been caught lying speaks for itself, I think.

00:45:25.460 But it's great when you have someone on the ground like Chris Dacey, who can just be out

00:45:29.860 there asking good accountability questions of our, you know, elected leaders.

00:45:36.420 Chris, and Chris will be on ELS tonight.

00:45:39.220 He'll be on the Ezra Levant show.

00:45:40.440 It's being guest hosted by Sheila.

00:45:43.180 And so for anybody who wants to hear a little bit more from Chris, he will be the guest host

00:45:47.980 or sorry, the guest on the show tonight.

00:45:51.500 But listen, Mark Carney never faced accountability.

00:45:56.220 He was the governor of the Bank of England and then the governor of the Bank of Canada and

00:46:01.520 at Goldman Sachs and at Brookfield Asset Management.

00:46:06.120 In any of them, he has been elected by the people.

00:46:11.220 Now he has been elected by the people.

00:46:13.560 And now he is facing accountability.

00:46:16.740 And I think he will have some difficulty to deal with that because his whole life, he

00:46:23.320 thought that everything that what he was doing was actually amazing and perfect.

00:46:28.660 And now he will need to face hard questions.

00:46:32.480 And probably the harder question that you will hear will be from independent journalists.

00:46:37.740 So we will see how he is dealing with that and if he can actually answer those questions

00:46:46.140 or if he will continue to call the police on independent journalists.

00:46:50.880 Yeah, right.

00:46:51.300 Like when he invited Kian Bexty, he's like, oh, I've never seen you at press conferences

00:46:55.320 before when at the debates a couple weeks ago in Montreal and and Kian Bexty from the

00:47:03.760 counter signal.

00:47:04.440 I think now is Juno News.

00:47:05.740 But anyway, he got up and asked a question and Carney's like, oh, I have not seen you

00:47:09.520 before.

00:47:10.000 Maybe you can come out to some of my pressers.

00:47:11.820 And then you tried to go to one of his pressers and he calls the police.

00:47:16.020 So I think that this is perhaps an indication as to how Mark Carney is going to treat the

00:47:23.680 media, the independent media from this point on.

00:47:27.720 Meanwhile, we have the Bloc Quebecois leader, Yves Blanchet, saying that they won't be joining

00:47:36.400 into some coalition agreement with the conservatives to, quote unquote, overthrow the government anytime

00:47:44.480 soon and said he wants to see negotiations happen to end the tariff war throughout the

00:47:50.640 remainder of the year.

00:47:52.440 And I guess he's hopeful that it will take months, not years, to resolve.

00:47:58.080 And I don't know.

00:47:58.580 I don't think we have a clip of this one.

00:48:00.320 No, we don't.

00:48:00.980 Just quickly, something to add that probably nobody is aware, but there is some tension between

00:48:07.680 now the PQ, that is the baby of Bloc Quebecois, that's called Parti Quebecois here in Quebec.

00:48:14.840 It's at the provincial level.

00:48:16.800 And the PQ was pretty clear at the beginning that Carney was a threat for the Quebec nation,

00:48:22.880 especially for the French language, especially with the immigration policies.

00:48:28.180 And recently, he went out to say that does the Bloc Quebecois is still a separatist?

00:48:37.480 Does he still there for fighting for the separation of Quebec?

00:48:42.100 Does he still there to represent the Quebec point?

00:48:48.540 And he actually dared to speak out against the leader of the Bloc Quebecois, because a

00:48:55.180 lot of people here in Quebec are questioning themselves, but what is the Bloc Quebecois?

00:49:00.340 What it serves to Quebecois?

00:49:03.060 Almost anything.

00:49:04.640 It's not for nothing that we saw a lot of people changing their vote from the Bloc to the Liberal

00:49:10.520 Party, because they are the same.

00:49:13.060 The Bloc Quebecois have supported the Liberals' policies since they are there.

00:49:17.680 And so we are seeing, like, exactly some tension.

00:49:22.520 And it's really funny, because in Quebec, we are going to have an election in 2026.

00:49:28.520 And the party that might won is the PQ, the Parti Quebecois, while now what we are seeing

00:49:37.580 is people didn't vote for the Bloc Quebecois, they vote for the Liberal Party, of what the

00:49:42.960 Liberal Party don't stand for the same policies that the PQ.

00:49:48.800 So it's really, really something weird that is happening right now here in Quebec, I would

00:49:54.540 say.

00:49:54.800 But the appartenance of a political party, it's not really strong here in Quebec.

00:50:00.840 I would say, if you are promising us the most, we will vote for you.

00:50:05.240 So it's really something in Quebec, you can actually buy the vote of Quebecois.

00:50:10.400 And I think this is really sad.

00:50:14.200 Yeah.

00:50:15.460 We have a super chat here that I just don't want to get too far out from, which asks, was

00:50:21.220 that an electric vehicle?

00:50:22.880 Sorry, it comes from Bonnie D.

00:50:24.220 Give 699.

00:50:25.080 Thanks, Bonnie.

00:50:25.960 Was that an electric vehicle Kearney was getting into?

00:50:29.340 I'm thinking not.

00:50:30.220 No, it was just one gas guzzling SUV in a larger entourage of security detail and staffers

00:50:38.280 that has to follow the ivory tower dwelling elected leader throughout his happenings everywhere

00:50:47.640 he goes.

00:50:49.100 They don't drive electric vehicles.

00:50:51.140 They're too unreliable.

00:50:52.180 And could you imagine being on a time crunch to get to a presser or an event or some sort

00:50:59.680 of media engagement or something, and all of a sudden your electric car battery is on

00:51:04.260 its last leg and you need to stop for an hour or however long it takes to stop and charge

00:51:09.140 these things?

00:51:10.980 It's not convenient.

00:51:13.200 It's unreliable.

00:51:14.160 And somebody, you know, who arguably does have places to go and people to see, how do

00:51:20.220 they find that to be sustainable in terms of their job requirements to drive an electric

00:51:26.640 vehicle?

00:51:27.200 It just I couldn't imagine having to factor in, you know, a 20 minute, 30 minute, 60

00:51:32.940 minute charge into a long stretch of a drive that why would you want to do that to yourself?

00:51:39.520 You can fill up at a gas station in five, maybe five minutes.

00:51:43.060 Why would you sit somewhere for an hour if you have a, you know, a four hour trek ahead

00:51:48.280 of you that just it just doesn't make any logical sense.

00:51:53.460 Okay, now the next thing that we have to just try to get through the headline stuff, because

00:52:02.020 we are about five, eight minutes out here.

00:52:07.860 I think that we should we did talk a little bit about the federal election, saw the highest

00:52:13.040 voter turnout since 1993.

00:52:14.360 But I'll just touch on this again, before we hit one more quick ad break, and then we'll

00:52:18.660 come back to talk about some more of Green Party Elizabeth May's shenanigans, because 1.00

00:52:23.600 I actually didn't anyway, we'll save that for a moment.

00:52:27.740 But during this election on Monday night, Canadians came out in the highest number in 32 years.

00:52:34.800 So we had more than 68% of eligible voters casting ballots in the 2025 federal election.

00:52:43.420 That was since 1993.

00:52:47.120 And although it failed to surpass the 1958 record setting turnout.

00:52:53.020 So that's pretty good, because I mean, I know that here in Ontario, at least, I think we had

00:52:57.560 40, you know, like 43% of the voters came out in the in the 2021.

00:53:04.240 And then a similar number in the 2025, the most recent, or sorry, 2024 provincial election.

00:53:11.360 So, you know, when the when you have people who are elected by less than half of the population,

00:53:17.440 like Doug Ford to get up there and say, you know, I'm democratically elected.

00:53:20.840 And it's like, well, yes, but more than half of the people who are eligible to vote just didn't

00:53:28.900 come out to vote.

00:53:29.920 And so can you really and truly say that you, you know, your elect, your elected position

00:53:37.360 represents the more broad population at large?

00:53:41.300 I mean, I don't think so.

00:53:42.700 Um, and I think if more people knew that they could vote, um, in a way that, you know, if

00:53:49.320 they don't align with any candidate, you can, there's actually a formal way, I don't remember

00:53:52.700 what it's called, but there is a formal way to spoil or, um, cancel your vote.

00:53:59.160 And if enough people did that, it would actually force, I don't want to say a referendum because

00:54:03.820 it's not really a referendum, but it would force, um, a new slate of candidates to have to

00:54:10.160 come forward because the general populace doesn't align with whoever is currently in the, in

00:54:17.760 those, um, in those positions.

00:54:20.020 And so instead of doing that and exercising, uh, a very important way to say, you know what,

00:54:27.620 I don't like any of the choice.

00:54:28.580 They're all bad choices and I don't agree with any of them.

00:54:30.540 So I want to take this action to spoil my vote officially and, and drive that potential,

00:54:36.320 um, re-negotiation of, of new elected officials.

00:54:40.020 Um, instead of doing that, people just, they just don't, they don't go out to vote.

00:54:43.560 They're like, oh, it's not worth anything and I'm not going out to vote.

00:54:46.360 So I think that if more people were more informed of how our elections work, the processes involved

00:54:52.780 in them, you know, you're not learning this in grade 10 civics class.

00:54:55.900 And that's really, um, uh, a sad state of affairs in our publicly funded school system.

00:55:02.120 But why would a government funded institution want you to know your full capacity as a voter?

00:55:07.760 Um, anyway, that's my, thank you for coming to my TED talk on voting and, and how we should

00:55:14.380 maybe, um, utilize it a little bit more efficiently.

00:55:17.660 Mm-hmm.

00:55:18.860 But, uh, quickly, I, I want to, to say something because it's not on the list, but I think it's

00:55:23.480 really, uh, something that people need to know.

00:55:25.780 So we heard recently that, you know, Jagmeet Singh, uh, stepped down, uh, now the NDP doesn't

00:55:33.380 have any leaders and one of the potential candidates for the leadership of the NPD.

00:55:40.520 I'm sorry to say to you all guys, but it seems like Valérie Plante might be one of the

00:55:46.960 potential candidates.

00:55:48.220 So I'm actually saying that I think the first thing that she would want to implement if she's

00:55:55.720 the next leader will be a trans-Canadian bike lane.

00:55:59.680 I think it's that, I think we will have that in, uh, upcoming, uh, year.

00:56:04.560 So we have so much bike lane here that, uh, that increase the traffic and Montreal is like,

00:56:11.280 if you look at Montreal right now, you don't want Valérie Plante as a potential candidate.

00:56:18.080 Right, right.

00:56:19.220 Um, okay.

00:56:19.820 We have a quick ad read and then maybe we don't have time for an ad break now, but I'll get

00:56:23.340 to this one on Truth Social.

00:56:25.740 It says, um, please add in that you're on Truth and plug your account if we have one.

00:57:08.940 All right.

00:57:09.460 So we'll just get into some things about Elizabeth May because, um, that would be just as, I

00:57:15.280 think, equally, if not more funny, um, as Valérie Plante taking over NDP leadership.

00:57:21.440 But, uh, I didn't see Elizabeth Mays.

00:57:24.280 She had a little debut the other night on Monday night where she and her husband, um, got

00:57:30.960 up on stage and sung a little, oh my goodness, it was so bad.

00:57:36.000 And I guess we, I didn't realize, but, uh, Sheila and Lise discussed it yesterday.

00:57:40.360 So, um, it's pretty funny, but I missed that.

00:57:43.060 And then I found this, you know, in, in the, uh, X verse yesterday.

00:57:47.820 And I was just, I had so much secondhand embarrassment for Elizabeth Mays and her husband.

00:57:52.860 You know, I think this is so funny that it's actually worth playing again.

00:57:55.720 Um, it's just so bad.

00:57:59.720 I don't know if we can turn the volume up here on it.

00:58:01.620 We figured, you know, it's my party so I can sing if I want to.

00:58:06.340 No, no, you can't.

00:58:08.020 I don't know if you're so sweet on the sunny side of the street.

00:58:12.820 And you hear that pitter pat and that nappy tune is your step.

00:58:19.740 I don't be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.

00:58:24.920 I used to walk in the shade.

00:58:29.060 Wrap your coat and get your hat.

00:58:32.180 Leave your worries on the doorstep.

00:58:34.900 All right.

00:58:35.200 That's enough.

00:58:35.760 That's enough.

00:58:36.200 I can't do it anymore.

00:58:37.420 I can't do it anymore.

00:58:38.700 That is sonar pollution.

00:58:40.500 I'm sorry.

00:58:41.160 But like imagine people around the world seeing Elizabeth May singing.

00:58:49.060 Like people would just see like what is going on in Canadian politics.

00:58:54.280 Right.

00:58:54.780 And she was like, she didn't even know the words.

00:58:57.000 And you would think that, you know, your husband and you are getting up to do a little, a little

00:59:03.000 duo and you think that you would have lots of time to practice, right?

00:59:07.020 You live with this person.

00:59:09.600 Arguably, maybe that's like their thing that they do together is they, you know, practice

00:59:13.600 song and dance.

00:59:14.660 But for it to be so bad, like, did you not practice beforehand?

00:59:21.160 Did you not try to like get in sync with one another?

00:59:23.800 I mean, like I said, I think she forgot the words.

00:59:26.960 Or maybe Elizabeth May, you know, her track record shows maybe she had just a few too many 0.99

00:59:32.240 bubblies at the party, the watch party that she was at.

00:59:36.660 But now she's, this is the woman who, and I hopefully I can correctly identify her as

00:59:43.780 such, but she now is open to running for House Speaker and joining Carney's cabinet.

00:59:53.240 I mean, she is the lone member, as they say in the CTV article, she is the lone member

00:59:57.840 of her party to be reelected.

01:00:00.580 And she's willing to throw her hat in the ring to be Speaker of the House when next Parliament 1.00

01:00:06.560 begins.

01:00:08.100 I'm open to a lot of things, Elizabeth May said in an interview.

01:00:11.820 Yeah, I bet you are.

01:00:14.060 It doesn't mean they're at all likely and they're pretty hypothetical.

01:00:19.340 I mean, like, way to say nothing while trying to say something, I guess.

01:00:26.080 She left her name in the lineup in the Speaker's elections quite a few times without campaigning

01:00:30.180 to be Speaker.

01:00:31.380 But I have very, very concerns.

01:00:33.480 She has very, very concerns about how far the Canadian Parliament and the role of the

01:00:38.380 Canadian Speaker have departed from our rules and our traditions.

01:00:42.780 Yeah.

01:00:43.280 Okay, Elizabeth May.

01:00:45.400 I don't think anyone takes her seriously.

01:00:47.920 Like, how do you take that person seriously?

01:00:49.640 But the Speaker of the House is not supposed to be as neutral as possible.

01:00:55.320 How can she actually occupy a place as the Speaker of the House when she openly say that

01:01:04.360 she would do everything to block and to counter the Conservative Party during the election?

01:01:10.500 So I'm just saying, like, how is she possibly a potential person took by the Speaker of the

01:01:21.120 House?

01:01:21.320 I just don't understand that.

01:01:23.060 She's not a serious person.

01:01:24.380 I mean, look at her.

01:01:25.620 Like, I just have so much embarrassment about this clip.

01:01:29.840 But it's like you can't shield your eyes.

01:01:32.900 You just you want to you have to keep coming back for more because every time you watch it,

01:01:36.440 there's like, look at her.

01:01:37.240 She's dancing.

01:01:37.920 It's oh, my gosh, it's so embarrassing.

01:01:40.860 This this is not how a serious person conducts themselves.

01:01:45.660 And I think that Parliament and Mark Carney can probably see that.

01:01:49.520 I would hope that anyone in their right mind would see that Elizabeth May is not serious and

01:01:56.540 why the mainstream media gives her this kind of coverage. 1.00

01:02:01.080 I mean, she didn't she she's very, very concerning about about stuff that's happening

01:02:06.720 in Parliament.

01:02:07.120 I mean, she can't even formulate tangible sentences. 0.93

01:02:10.520 She obviously, like, can't really sing.

01:02:12.960 I don't even know if if I would say she can dance based on what I've seen here with her

01:02:17.980 and her husband.

01:02:20.060 Just it's just so embarrassing.

01:02:21.680 You know, and the contrast that with being at Polyev's watch party in Ottawa on Monday

01:02:26.760 night and to get up there and and give, you know, like a dignified.

01:02:30.640 Yes, heavily scripted concluding speech with your wife who's conducting herself with class,

01:02:37.980 with grace, you know, you're dressed professionally, you're speaking eloquently.

01:02:43.620 And then you have Elizabeth May with her husband and a guitar and forgetting the words.

01:02:53.180 It's embarrassing.

01:02:54.480 It and on the global like on the on the world stage, people are sad for can I am sad for

01:03:01.560 Canada if Elizabeth May is given any more than she currently has.

01:03:07.100 Anyway, enough about Elizabeth May.

01:03:09.900 Alexa, we're out of time.

01:03:11.240 But do you want to just do like a couple?

01:03:13.960 We'd have a super chat and then maybe we'll just quickly throw to a few clips of the May

01:03:17.680 day because I know you've covered it before and that's on your radar as well.

01:03:22.240 So we'll just do a few minutes of that because we do have some great clips coming out of Paris.

01:03:27.360 But did we address just quickly how Canadian you might end up being screwed up by the NDP

01:03:37.140 who might join the Liberal Party to give a super majority to Mark Carney.

01:03:42.860 So people, you all went to vote and you gave a minority to a government, you are putting

01:03:51.200 them into trial.

01:03:53.500 And right now they are going to sneak around and try everything to get a super majority

01:04:00.940 to bring other members of other parties into their own party.

01:04:05.940 And that means that they will be into power until 2029.

01:04:14.700 Right.

01:04:15.200 Yeah, this comes from Brett Wilson and he says it's a very reliable rumor.

01:04:18.940 So, you know, right off the bat, take it for what you may.

01:04:22.720 But he says that the Liberal Party is attempting to buy NDP MPs who were elected, which is very

01:04:31.160 few of them at this point, but nonetheless, so that they will cross the floor and again

01:04:36.460 try to form a majority party or at least have more leverage as a minority government.

01:04:44.580 So much, he says so much for election integrity and honesty, A, so he makes it very Canadian.

01:04:50.140 Canada is in a brutal space.

01:04:51.560 Yeah, but unsurprising.

01:04:52.500 I mean, the Liberal NDP coalition was quite literally in place for two and a half, year

01:04:59.240 and a half, two and a half years.

01:05:01.340 So this is very unsurprising that they would take such extreme measures to continue their

01:05:08.460 skirting of democracy by having these backdoor deals and these, you know, unofficial coalitions

01:05:16.640 or it was called, I always forget the technical word that they used for the coalition.

01:05:22.800 But yeah, they did that to Canadians for, you know, two years roughly.

01:05:27.980 And so they do this even more shady, sneaky business.

01:05:31.900 This is so unsurprising.

01:05:33.360 And remember the Liberals, they brought those buttons into the strong, conservative, strong

01:05:38.780 and free event.

01:05:39.820 I mean, these are shady things.

01:05:41.440 The Liberals are not conducting, they don't conduct themselves with integrity.

01:05:44.720 There's no sort of moral compass.

01:05:48.080 It's driving how they conduct themselves.

01:05:50.820 So very reliable rumor, but unsurprising.

01:05:54.160 They are not being punished.

01:05:55.840 Like, they are not being punished.

01:05:58.480 So, of course, they will act like that.

01:06:01.800 Those people who actually put those buttons, they have been reassigned.

01:06:06.700 They have not been fired.

01:06:08.720 And this is what is happening in that party.

01:06:12.320 Accountability.

01:06:12.880 It's unexistent.

01:06:17.180 And it has been for a long time.

01:06:19.400 And, you know, you have Doug Ford up there parroting about the criminal justice system

01:06:24.300 and bail reform.

01:06:25.760 And it's like, how about we lead with integrity and we stop doing shady deals and conducting

01:06:34.660 ourselves in this way, you know, from our leaders, right?

01:06:37.800 Like, what kind of example are you setting for the rest of the country to act with integrity,

01:06:43.520 to act with a moral compass when this is the kind of stuff that you're engaged in?

01:06:47.200 Being able to just skirt democracy in a way that's like semi-legitimate, but really shady

01:06:53.720 and otherwise frowned upon.

01:06:56.120 So, it starts at the top, I would say.

01:06:59.540 Nana Awake gives $5.

01:07:01.840 Thank you very much.

01:07:02.880 I think we need to pass the information about utilizing, sorry, I think we need to pass the

01:07:07.660 information around about utilizing spoiling your vote more.

01:07:12.140 In the case of Ford, they picked the best of the worst as they didn't know they had any

01:07:16.500 other options.

01:07:16.980 So, that's what it's called.

01:07:17.960 You can formally spoil your vote.

01:07:21.240 And so, if enough people did that, it would force new candidates to have to come forward

01:07:25.980 because enough people would say, I don't like any of these options and I'm thus not going

01:07:31.320 to vote for any of them, right?

01:07:32.660 Because, sadly, politics has turned into voting for the least worst option and that's not very

01:07:41.260 good.

01:07:41.540 Um, so, that is something that's available to voters as well, but is just so, a lot of

01:07:48.500 people just don't know that there's a difference between not voting and spoiling your vote because

01:07:54.640 one is just not partaking in the process and one is exercising your right to say, I don't

01:08:01.360 like any of them and I want a new slate of candidates.

01:08:04.600 Um, so there you have it.

01:08:06.660 And I think, Alexa, do you want to throw to some of these clips out of Paris about Mayday?

01:08:11.540 Yeah, but in Paris, uh, people need to know that in Paris, it's not like France, uh, the

01:08:19.060 people who live over there are mainly leftists.

01:08:22.760 And I was pretty shocked when I covered the, uh, recent election, how many Antifa and far

01:08:30.780 left are in this city.

01:08:33.880 It's actually incredible and it's not the same beast that the one that we are, we have

01:08:40.460 here.

01:08:40.900 Those people are ready to burn everything down, break everything down, uh, during riots.

01:08:47.720 And this is something that is happening pretty often, uh, in Paris.

01:08:52.220 It's why some of the shop have, um, some, a grill that they can put on the facade of their,

01:09:00.880 uh, businesses.

01:09:02.220 Because when that happened, uh, they are going to throw rocks, put in fire places.

01:09:08.460 I even see a clip from, uh, someone in the protest today saying, do not burn that place.

01:09:17.300 There is a woman inside. 0.82

01:09:19.220 And I was like, come on, like, how far are you going to just destroy your own city?

01:09:26.580 Who is paying for that afterwards?

01:09:29.480 You know?

01:09:29.880 And today we saw again, massive turnout in, uh, Paris, uh, a lot of people shouting, everybody

01:09:39.720 hates the police. 0.99

01:09:40.960 That is the ACAB movement, the all cop or bastard. 1.00

01:09:45.000 Uh, they are far left activists who are always causing trouble. 0.99

01:09:50.740 And after that, playing the victim card as, oh my God, police brutality, you are going, you're

01:09:57.620 actually throwing, um, glass bottles to those police officers.

01:10:03.540 Imagine the, the work that they need to do.

01:10:05.920 Those, uh, law enforcement to try to control that big crowd of far radical, far left.

01:10:13.720 I'm not going to just say far left.

01:10:15.260 They are radical.

01:10:16.020 You see, you can see like, uh, Antifa flag along with Palestinian flag and Che Guevara flag.

01:10:24.080 So those people are, are, um, advocate for communism.

01:10:31.040 They want to, uh, to defend the police, to destroy the whole place.

01:10:37.100 And I would say this is probably a little bit of what is going on tonight in Montreal.

01:10:43.380 We will have a big protest with the same kind of people marching in the city.

01:10:48.960 Uh, every year we have a lot of damages, a lot of, uh, window being, uh, broke, broken,

01:10:56.560 a lot of, uh, cars being, uh, smashed.

01:11:00.440 So we will see tonight if, uh, Montreal city is not turning into the same kind of image

01:11:06.220 you are seeing right now, but this is in the middle of the day.

01:11:09.340 This is not during the night.

01:11:11.000 Imagine what can happen during the night with those people.

01:11:14.900 And they are fully masked.

01:11:16.700 You can't actually identify them.

01:11:19.560 So you see all the police enforcement are actually cracking down bigger and faster than

01:11:26.820 what we are seeing here in Canada.

01:11:29.960 Yeah.

01:11:30.900 And we can't even send you out because of the violence, right?

01:11:36.160 Like you need security.

01:11:37.160 We, we can't take on that liability, sending a journalist into that kind of violence and,

01:11:45.280 and complete decimation that they unleash on the streets.

01:11:50.400 Um, yeah, that's too bad.

01:11:54.100 And, uh, this is terrifying.

01:11:56.500 This is, this is a terror, terror movement.

01:11:59.640 Like in those movements are growing in the Western world.

01:12:04.140 I don't know if you saw, but I can see it.

01:12:07.400 That is growing.

01:12:09.180 And, and because mainly the big city are leftists are radical activists for either climate, anti-capitalism

01:12:19.860 or anti-colonialism or all those kinds of movements that bring people to be violent.

01:12:26.840 Yeah.

01:12:27.500 And then the taxpayers get to foot the bill afterwards.

01:12:29.920 Um, we have another super chat here from, oh, where did I go?

01:12:36.020 Diva, Diva Joka.

01:12:38.240 I'm sorry if my pronunciation is terrible.

01:12:41.480 Give 699.

01:12:42.660 How will we communicate once they lock down free speech?

01:12:45.780 We need to get this organized.

01:12:47.420 Yeah.

01:12:47.580 Or just fight back.

01:12:48.880 Um, we are initiating some of our own legal fights at Rebel News.

01:12:54.580 And, um, if you want to follow that along and particularly how we're fighting back against

01:13:01.360 censorship, you can do that at stopthecensorship.ca.

01:13:05.920 There's a couple, um, legal initiatives happening.

01:13:09.540 And I think that depending on how things go, um, under Carney's leadership, we will see, you

01:13:16.580 know, probably more of that and have to ramp that up even further.

01:13:19.420 So, um, great question.

01:13:21.480 Don't have all the answers, but I know that we are doing everything we can to resist the

01:13:26.220 censorship.

01:13:27.500 Um, I do see that Sheila had a question to Premier Smith.

01:13:33.200 I guess that was about an hour ago now because we've been on the stream for just over an hour.

01:13:37.080 Um, so I, I think we'll just end on the clip of Sheila asking a question to Premier Smith

01:13:43.240 as, you know, Alberta independence becomes, um, a more real thing, discussions around that

01:13:48.900 ramp up, the petitions started, um, and, and the news headlines continue to be generated

01:13:55.160 with Alberta separatism.

01:13:57.440 Um, so we'll end on Sheila's question, but before we wrap up, I just wanted to thank everybody

01:14:01.420 for joining us at home.

01:14:02.780 Thanks everyone for all of your super chats and your continued support and letting us know

01:14:08.000 your thoughts and, um, comments in what, you know, by way of a paid super chat, we really

01:14:13.720 appreciate it.

01:14:14.320 We wouldn't be able to do this without you.

01:14:15.780 Thanks Alexa for hopping on to join me so that Sheila could take part in Premier Smith's 1.00

01:14:21.120 press release today and stay tuned.

01:14:24.160 Same time in place, 1 to 2 PM Eastern again, tomorrow for another round of rebel roundup.

01:14:30.820 Thanks to Efron behind the scenes and all of our web team coordinating links and verbiage

01:14:36.460 and getting up the proper thumbnail.

01:14:38.600 I know we had the wrong thumbnail up on YouTube for a part, a portion of the stream.

01:14:42.580 So we apologize for that, but everything should be corrected and up and running now.

01:14:46.280 So thanks again, everyone.

01:14:47.820 We'll end off on Sheila's questions to Premier Smith and see you back here again tomorrow.

01:14:54.660 Ciao.

01:14:55.040 Sheila Gunn-Reed with Rebel News.

01:14:59.300 Premier, Canola is a $44 billion industry.

01:15:02.400 It supports 206,000 jobs, 40,000 Western farmers, yet Prime Minister Carney during his campaign

01:15:10.480 and even now has said nothing about the 100% retaliatory Chinese tariffs on canola thanks

01:15:17.520 to the Liberals' green protectionist EV policies.

01:15:21.040 So what is your government doing to ensure that canola tariffs are treated with the same

01:15:26.400 urgency by the feds as the auto and steel sector one?

01:15:30.000 Well, I can tell you that all of the Western premiers who have a large canola industry in

01:15:35.160 their provinces, and that is regardless of political stripe, have raised it directly with

01:15:39.640 the Prime Minister.

01:15:40.980 It seems like it's a bit of a phony war.

01:15:43.440 We've got a 100% tax on EV vehicles from China that no one's buying in order to protect

01:15:49.540 an EV industry in Ontario that doesn't exist.

01:15:52.660 And in return, we are seeing punishment on pork and canola in our Western provinces, which

01:15:58.140 are a product people do want.

01:15:59.620 So I think the Chinese have been very targeted and direct in how they're trying to split our 1.00

01:16:03.840 country up.

01:16:04.740 And I think we need to revisit that.

01:16:07.500 We obviously are going to have to find new markets for our products, but let's at least

01:16:12.480 engage in proportionate responses rather than having a knee-jerk reaction that is only going

01:16:21.300 to hurt our industries further.

01:16:22.440 And that has been conveyed by myself as well as other premiers directly to the Prime Minister.

01:16:29.900 The Black leader, who will hold some power and influence over Carney's minority cabinet,

01:16:36.920 has just said that there is no future for oil and gas in Quebec or anywhere for that matter.

01:16:42.020 Carney has also said he would allow a Quebec veto over pipelines.

01:16:45.700 So how does Alberta then respond if no pipelines east is the deal that helps Carney keep his

01:16:54.000 government from falling?

01:16:55.420 Well, I would hope that's not the case.

01:16:57.820 The Canadian people did not vote for fringe voices like the Bloc Québécois or fringe voices

01:17:03.300 like the Green Party or fringe voices like the NDP to control the agenda for the next while

01:17:09.340 here.

01:17:09.620 What Albertans and Canadians voted for was for Canada to become an economic superpower.

01:17:16.240 And that means also an energy superpower.

01:17:19.160 And that is what I would fully expect Mark Carney to do.

01:17:21.940 I hope that he's able to continue forward with an agenda that perhaps even the Conservative opposition

01:17:27.500 would support him in.

01:17:28.900 That's what I think the message of the election is.

01:17:31.560 And I would surely hope that he's not listening to fringe voices from a party that is solely

01:17:36.760 committed to breaking this country up.

01:17:39.620 Thank you.

01:18:09.620 Thank you.

01:18:10.620 Thank you.

01:18:11.120 Thank you.

01:18:11.620 Thank you.
