Transcript

00:00:00.000 Feel like Ottawa's got its boot on Alberta's neck? Well, it's time to push back. Join us for Rebel News Live Saturday, June 14th at the Red Deer Curling Centre. Spend the day with Ezra Levant, me, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and a powerhouse lineup of freedom fighters, political thinkers, and grassroots leaders. We're talking energy, free speech, and especially independence, and how the West can finally stop getting screwed.
00:00:25.380 This isn't just a conference, it's a rallying cry. Tickets are going fast. Get yours now at donegettingscrewed.com. Stand up, speak out, be there.
00:00:35.900 Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, depending on which part of this beautiful country that you're in.
00:00:56.280 You're watching Rebel Roundup, our daily news and opinion show. I am your host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and I'm joined today by my co-host, co-pilot on this plane, Tamara Ugolini. Tamara, how's it going?
00:01:08.400 Hey, Sheila. Pretty good. I mean, I'm feeling pretty unsettled, given the news out from our public safety minister and his terrorist affiliations, but we'll get into that a little bit later. How are you doing out there in the West?
00:01:22.000 You know what? We're finally getting some rain, which is great. Maybe it'll deal with some of the smoke in the air. I understand smoke is affecting most of this country now, but man, we've just had a terrible wildfire season.
00:01:36.820 Luckily, our province seems to be handling it just fine, as opposed to when the federal government handles the fires in this province, as they did with Jasper, and then let the place burn down last year.
00:01:49.520 And then they tell me they want to make more national parks in Alberta, and we're like, no, thanks. We'll manage the forest. Thank you very much.
00:01:55.640 We should tell everybody what we're doing here, because we have a very packed day. I can't go long, because my day is just piling up. We've got something in the works that we're not ready to tell everybody about quite yet.
00:02:10.440 But if you are a watcher of Rebel News, stay tuned, because we've got big news and another big fight coming up, and it involves me.
00:02:21.600 So, if you are watching us on the free speech platform of Rumble, thank you for supporting the platform that lets you speak your mind, however you want to speak it.
00:02:33.880 If you want to support the work that we do over there, you can leave a Rumble rant. That's their paid chat.
00:02:39.100 If it's over the $5 U.S. cutoff, it's mandatory to read it on air. If it's under that, we'll do our best to get to it.
00:02:45.320 And I really mean that. We do our very best to get to it. Sometimes we even read the free ones.
00:02:50.500 And if you are watching us on the censorship platform of YouTube, because, I mean, to my shock and amazement every single day, we remain re-monetized over there.
00:03:00.060 You can leave us a super chat. That's their paid chat over there.
00:03:04.480 Or if you're watching the recorded version of the show, when you get home from work, because Rebel News viewers are hardworking people, you can leave a super thanks.
00:03:14.460 That's the paid comment. And we appreciate that you choose to spend your money with us because you don't get a choice in the support that you are forced to give to the mainstream media, which lies to you and then lies about you a lot of the times.
00:03:32.540 So, you know, we'll never take a penny from Mark Carney to do the work that we do. So we rely on your support at home.
00:03:38.580 So that's how you can get involved in the show. But the show is a busy one today.
00:03:42.720 Before we move on to the public safety minister being, I guess, a public safety concern, we should tell everybody that there are still some tickets available to our emergency independence town hall in Red Deer on Saturday.
00:04:05.080 You can go to donegettingscrewed.com for tickets. There are also general tickets. And I think there might even be some VIP tickets, which gets you some special perks, special seating and VIP dinner with us.
00:04:23.160 We've got Dallas Brody, Keith Wilson. Dallas Brody is quite something because she is an independent conservative BC MLA.
00:04:30.780 And she's saying, yeah, we have a real problem with how Ottawa is treating us and British Columbians are starting to notice too.
00:04:39.900 Trucker lawyer Keith Wilson, who before he was a trucker lawyer, was an independence-minded lawyer.
00:04:45.020 We've got Corey Morgan from the Western Standard. He wrote a book on Western separatism.
00:04:49.700 We've got David Parker, who is a political activist and organizer in Alberta. His lovely bride, Rachel.
00:04:57.820 Dennis Modry. We have a media panel with Derek Fildebrand, who's the boss man over at the Western Standard.
00:05:06.460 Kian Bexty, who is the boss man over at Counter Signal.
00:05:10.560 We've got David Knight-Legg. He used to work for the Alberta government.
00:05:14.400 And he's sort of on the, like, let's give it one more try in Confederation's side.
00:05:20.120 He's definitely not like, ah, everything's hunky-dory with the feds.
00:05:23.520 They're treating us completely fairly.
00:05:25.100 He's just saying that there are other things to do before we pull the chute on Confederation.
00:05:30.740 So it's a full-day affair. It starts at 8 a.m. and all the way through to the VIP dinner.
00:05:39.360 I think it's $49, I believe.
00:05:43.700 That's right, for the full-day event, which is, I think, an incredible deal because you get breakfast and lunch, you know, that.
00:05:50.280 Plus, access to all of the special sessions.
00:05:54.580 And you can go to donegettingscrewed.com to get tickets, like, right, well, not right now.
00:05:59.880 Wait till the show's over.
00:06:01.240 Then get your tickets. There are just a few left.
00:06:03.180 We're, like, 48 hours out of the event.
00:06:05.460 So that's what's coming up on Saturday.
00:06:09.880 And I have to get ready for that, too, which I entirely forgot because I think I play a big role in it.
00:06:15.980 I believe I'm the emcee, and I am not prepared for that, either.
00:06:19.840 My goodness.
00:06:20.760 There's not enough hours in the day.
00:06:22.140 Okay.
00:06:22.620 All that is to say there are things that you need to do once we get off air.
00:06:26.860 And me, too.
00:06:28.440 Yours is by tickets.
00:06:29.760 Mine is to prepare.
00:06:32.000 But let's talk to this huge news and talk about this huge news that broke yesterday.
00:06:36.640 Absolutely crazy.
00:06:38.200 Yeah, the public safety minister, Gary Anandasangari, whose name I love to say.
00:06:42.920 I don't enjoy the man, but, man, I like saying his name.
00:06:45.200 Gary Anandasangari, our public safety minister, who already we know is a bit of a numbskull because Andrew Lawton made him look like a complete total idiot on the gun file.
00:06:56.620 And Gary Anandasangari is the gun grabber in chief, and he has no idea what the gun laws are.
00:07:02.720 But he knows that law-abiding people like me are dangerous.
00:07:07.780 We've got a report.
00:07:09.720 This is Mercedes Stevenson and Stuart Bell broke this yesterday.
00:07:13.420 They both work for Global.
00:07:15.200 So, Mark Carney's border security czar, well, he's not the czar, but he's the minister in charge, said he's recusing himself from files related to a Sri Lankan terrorist group and its Canadian Front organization.
00:07:29.200 He's recusing himself from matters related to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil and the World Tamil Movement.
00:07:40.400 So, the World Tamil Movement is the Canadian Front group, and the Tamil Tigers are the terrorist group.
00:07:50.100 And if you have to recuse yourself of this, then you should probably recuse yourself of being the public safety minister, full stop.
00:08:01.500 Exactly.
00:08:02.160 That's exactly it.
00:08:03.040 This is Canada's public safety minister.
00:08:05.880 I mean, all the time I'm saying, it can't get any crazier than this.
00:08:11.980 It can't get any crazier than this.
00:08:13.180 And here we are with our public safety minister having obvious ties to known documented terrorist groups because otherwise he wouldn't need to recuse himself from matters involving them.
00:08:26.900 The Global News did ask for any conflict of interest documentation that was provided, and of course, that was not followed up on.
00:08:38.600 The minister didn't explain further as to why he had to recuse himself, so we're left to speculate, but I think that is pretty clear.
00:08:48.600 And rather, he cited that this was being done out of an abundance of caution, and he wanted to implement a screen on any national security issues relating to the Tamil community.
00:09:03.160 So, therein lies the connection.
00:09:05.500 Okay, so this is like having a public safety minister with sympathies or links to Al-Qaeda, right?
00:09:14.700 And they're just like, you know what, I've got it from here, but I'm going to have somebody else.
00:09:19.880 God knows who that is.
00:09:20.820 We don't know who's actually going to act on the Tamil files.
00:09:24.460 But this is like having somebody with links to Al-Qaeda say, you know what, I'm fine with all the other public safety stuff, even though Andrew Lawton exposed me as not knowing anything about the other public safety stuff.
00:09:38.840 And I'll be fine, as long as I don't deal with Al-Qaeda.
00:09:42.820 That's what this is about.
00:09:44.080 I did some digging on this.
00:09:45.460 This is not anything new that we know about Gary Inanda-Sangari.
00:09:50.780 The Liberals knew about this in 2014 when they signed his nomination papers over Dan McTeague.
00:09:57.380 Or McTeague.
00:09:58.500 I think it's Dan McTeague.
00:09:59.860 Dan McTeague is a gas price wizard on X, if you're there.
00:10:05.440 And he is an outspoken critic of his former party, the Liberals.
00:10:11.200 But this currently, right now, I put it in the Slack chat, Olivia.
00:10:17.720 This right now is on the Tamil Foreign Affairs website.
00:10:25.720 They describe him as the LTTEs, Gary Inanda-Sangari, which is the acronym for the Tamil Tigers.
00:10:33.800 They describe him as being, like, the Tamil Tigers, Gary Inanda-Sangari, to enter Canadian politics.
00:10:42.180 And they say, in the writing of Rouge Park, known among Toronto Canadians as Tamil Elam,
00:10:47.320 another politician with links to the LTTE launched his bid for the federal Liberal nomination.
00:10:52.840 And then they say, like, another Tamil Tiger-linked NDP-er,
00:10:58.500 with the backing of the Canadian Tamil Congress, Gary Inanda-Sangari,
00:11:01.920 is planning to penetrate the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:11:08.460 And by donating funds to a Liberal Party at different fundraising events and signing a membership,
00:11:14.500 Ananda-Sangari was made a favorable candidate for Rouge Park over the former Liberal MP, Dan McTeague,
00:11:19.880 who was pushed to the pickering riding.
00:11:22.040 Many question if it was the amount of money given to the Liberal Party.
00:11:25.100 And membership sign-up by Tamil Tiger supporters and sympathizers that made the Liberal Party leader,
00:11:32.400 Justin Trudeau, consider Ananda-Sangari over McTeague.
00:11:36.120 When McTeague suddenly showed up at the Liberal Party pickering riding meeting,
00:11:39.800 replacing Jennifer O'Connell, thank you, God,
00:11:42.940 his supporters questioned the judgment of the Liberal Party leadership.
00:11:46.060 Trudeau was already under criticism for favoring one candidate over another
00:11:49.300 in the writing of Trinity Spadina.
00:11:54.280 This is a foreign interference scandal dating back 11 years with Gary Inanda-Sangari
00:12:04.360 with his links to known Tamil terrorist organizations.
00:12:09.100 And they're saying he signed them up at his nomination.
00:12:12.180 He got a bunch of money.
00:12:13.020 Sounds a lot like what Handong did with the foreign students.
00:12:17.440 Gary Inanda-Sangari did the same thing in his riding to win his nomination
00:12:22.100 using his links to the terrorists in the Tamil community.
00:12:27.180 And now he's the public safety minister.
00:12:29.180 And the foreign affairs ministry of Sri Lanka has been warning us about this for 11 years.
00:12:36.220 And Mark Carney's like, yeah, that's the man for the job in public safety.
00:12:40.380 What could possibly go wrong?
00:12:42.780 What could possibly go wrong?
00:12:44.200 And don't forget, we still don't know which 11, at least 11 parliamentarians
00:12:49.060 were committing foreign interference and had this on their track record and on their file.
00:12:56.660 And now we have more to add to that pile, it seems.
00:13:00.300 Yeah.
00:13:00.520 I mean, I watched the entire Foreign Interference Commission all the many weeks.
00:13:05.360 I think it was 12 from start to finish.
00:13:07.780 Um, and the Tamil issue really didn't come up, but I feel like it should have, um, given that
00:13:17.140 we have a public safety minister that the Sri Lankan Foreign Affairs Ministry describes as
00:13:23.700 the Tamil Tigers, Gary Inanda-Sangari.
00:13:26.520 Yeah, an aggressive militant group, um, now serving as our public safety minister.
00:13:33.320 And we have a super chat here that I just want to throw to you from Tamara Leach.
00:13:37.040 Hi, Tamara.
00:13:37.700 Thank you so much for your support.
00:13:39.800 Gives us $6.99.
00:13:41.360 Gary isn't exactly getting off to a good start.
00:13:45.920 Yeah, I don't, I mean, are the liberals in general though, but especially, especially our
00:13:51.840 public safety, uh, minister, which I guess just makes everyone feel that much more safe
00:13:56.640 knowing that he has to recuse himself from these topics.
00:14:00.360 Um, yeah, like who's going to take on the Tamil issue?
00:14:03.880 Like who?
00:14:05.160 Like, they're just like, well, are we not going to deal with it at all?
00:14:09.660 Or is it going to get passed over to one of the 11 parliamentarians that we don't know
00:14:16.200 who are implicated in foreign interference?
00:14:19.720 I don't, I don't know.
00:14:20.660 Now we have a clip from Larry Brock in the house of commons, and I said it yesterday and
00:14:26.140 I will say it again.
00:14:27.740 Eastern Canada took him from me.
00:14:30.680 Larry Brock was going to be the, uh, justice minister in my fantasy football, uh, conservative
00:14:37.980 parliament.
00:14:39.160 He was my cabinet choice for attorney general and you people took him from me.
00:14:45.740 And I want you to realize what you've done when you're watching Larry.
00:14:51.220 Give it to Gary and Nanda Sangery in this clip here.
00:15:01.220 Nope.
00:15:02.400 Maybe we don't have the clip.
00:15:03.800 Oh, I see that the link has just broken.
00:15:09.280 Oh, he took it down.
00:15:10.240 The link is broken.
00:15:11.920 Oh, well, maybe we can find that.
00:15:13.340 But it is, you know, Larry in perfect Larry Brock form, former Crown Prosecutor Larry Brock,
00:15:19.900 who was just made in a lab to be our justice minister.
00:15:23.280 And yet he is not because I can't control the voting habits of Eastern Canadians.
00:15:28.540 Um, but, uh, he was going after, uh, Gary and Nanda Sangery, uh, and pointing out that
00:15:36.740 this is the minister responsible for protecting Canadians from terrorism, who has to recuse
00:15:42.940 himself because of his own terrorist links.
00:15:45.640 It doesn't get any crazier than that.
00:15:48.820 I mean, I say that and then tomorrow there'll be the next crazy thing.
00:15:51.880 So, um, I'll, I won't hold my breath, but also on the note of Tamara Leach, just quickly,
00:15:56.580 uh, I wanted to point to an exclusive interview that Alexa Lavoie was able to get between Tamara
00:16:02.260 Leach and Chris Barber when they were in Ottawa recently.
00:16:05.760 First full-on sit-down interview with both of them together, um, since I think the convoy
00:16:11.880 itself in 20, February of 2022.
00:16:14.700 So for anybody who wants to go check that out, it just went up, uh, I think last night
00:16:20.020 or late yesterday afternoon.
00:16:22.360 And you can see for yourselves the rigmarole that Tamara Leach and Chris Barber have been
00:16:28.140 going through if you haven't already been following along.
00:16:30.680 So kudos to Alexa for snagging the two of them together in the same room.
00:16:35.120 It was a great interview.
00:16:35.860 And I see that we have a, uh, deleted tweet.
00:16:38.920 It wasn't actually from Larry Brock here, which I mean, he just, he just, you, you summarized
00:16:46.040 it perfectly, Sheila.
00:16:47.360 Um, but he, he again draws the question, how can the minister of public safety protect Canadians
00:16:52.880 if he's conflicted out of being able to, I imagine he says something along the lines of
00:16:57.800 being able to do so, um, absolute bizarro world.
00:17:02.600 And like of all the, like, here's what we know about what the qualifications to be the
00:17:08.820 public safety minister of Canada are.
00:17:11.200 You don't actually have to know anything about your file.
00:17:13.960 So that could basically allow Mark Carney to choose any of them.
00:17:18.440 We know that's the case because, uh, Gary Nandesegri doesn't know anything about the
00:17:23.080 gun file.
00:17:23.520 And yet they're about to spend a third of a billion dollars snatching guns, but they don't
00:17:27.260 know where those guns are.
00:17:28.060 So you don't actually have to know anything about your file to be the minister.
00:17:33.120 So they could have picked anybody from cabinet.
00:17:35.820 This is just an insult to Canadians that they picked Gary Nandesegri, who the Sri Lankan government
00:17:43.600 describes as belonging, uh, to the Tamil Tigers.
00:17:48.800 Could have been any one of those idiots.
00:17:50.680 And yet they picked this specific one.
00:17:52.760 It's just a slap in the face.
00:17:54.260 It's just more slaps in the face compiled, piled on to all the other slaps in the face.
00:18:00.900 And I thought it was bad enough that he didn't even know the different types of models make
00:18:04.720 styles of guns.
00:18:06.260 And well, here we are.
00:18:07.500 Or the license or the licensing requirements.
00:18:09.200 Didn't know what a pal was.
00:18:10.540 Didn't know what an RPAL was.
00:18:11.860 Doesn't know that we have to be like run through CPIC on the daily.
00:18:17.160 Like we're the most vetted people on the face of the earth.
00:18:20.160 Um, if we were a problem, you'd know it.
00:18:23.740 Um, and yet he had no clue.
00:18:25.860 He had no clue because he takes his, uh, marching orders from the gun grabbing lobby.
00:18:31.620 Uh, if you're going to be the public safety minister, here's my two requirements.
00:18:36.180 Take the RPAL course.
00:18:38.160 So, you know what everybody else has to do and don't have links to known terrorist organizations.
00:18:44.840 I feel like those are that, like, that's the low bar.
00:18:47.800 I feel like it's, you know.
00:18:50.080 Yeah.
00:18:50.540 Can we just set that?
00:18:52.380 We just set that bar now because we should try to probably be above and beyond it.
00:18:57.060 But I mean, if you have ties to a terrorist organization, it kind of makes sense that you'd
00:19:01.480 also be wanting to disarm your citizenry.
00:19:04.700 Um, if we can speculate further, but, uh, also this is the minister who's currently overseeing
00:19:12.260 bill C2 and it tucked in this guise of public safety is a bunch of infringing parts, um,
00:19:24.740 including allowing the RCMP to just open up Canadians mail without any sort of oversight
00:19:30.000 or due process and, um, criminalize legal tender cash over $10,000.
00:19:38.400 Any sort, any cash transactions will automatically be flagged.
00:19:42.240 And so we have a release here from the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms who immediately
00:19:47.320 was, I think this was last week we talked about on the live stream as well.
00:19:51.760 They came out and they were like, no, you, you know, cash is so important and we need it
00:19:56.700 to ensure security, privacy, all of these things.
00:20:00.240 And now they've just launched a new petition to keep cash legal and accessible, which I love
00:20:06.200 because especially throughout the COVID hysteria, cash was really demonized.
00:20:10.300 I mean, it's always been something where it's like the, you know, the powers that be want
00:20:14.000 to pivot to a digital currency and, um, CBDCs, central bank digital currencies.
00:20:21.420 And a lot of people, especially throughout COVID were like, you were kind of shamed out of
00:20:26.860 using cash because it was dirty.
00:20:28.560 And so it was like, cash is a super spreader, um, product.
00:20:32.540 And so use tap or cashless interaction list payments.
00:20:38.660 And, um, a lot of people at that time were saying, no, we have to keep cash as king.
00:20:43.040 And now here you see the fight toward switching over to a digital currency.
00:20:47.940 And so I'm here for it, that the JCCF has come forward saying we have to keep our cash.
00:20:54.700 And so not only are they calling upon, upon Prime Minister Carney, which I always just
00:21:00.080 still cringe saying, to strike the criminalization of cash payments of $10,000 or more from Bill
00:21:06.880 C2, but they also are calling on them to introduce legislation to protect the right of Canadians
00:21:12.880 to use cash of any amount for legal transactions.
00:21:18.260 And, you know, anyone who's interested, you can go further and read their petition.
00:21:21.380 And of course you can sign it and share it.
00:21:23.300 It's now live and open for signatures, but I, I would love to see something like this
00:21:28.580 translate over to all the businesses that have since gone cashless.
00:21:33.040 And we chatted about this again, last, uh, also last week when we were discussing this
00:21:37.620 story, when it was first coming out.
00:21:39.260 And that was this one little, um, it's like a playground overnight.
00:21:45.420 Um, I don't even know how to describe it, but it's, it's Santa's village in Cambridge, Ontario.
00:21:50.680 And it's like a campground and it's a place and parents.
00:21:54.760 So they announced in May that they were going cashless and their comments blew up with parents
00:21:59.940 who were livid over this decision because oftentimes their kids would save up their allowances all
00:22:06.500 year to go.
00:22:08.100 And they would spend a weekend or a week, whatever camping at Santa's village and their
00:22:13.340 kids would use their cash that they've saved all year to purchase things at the gift shop
00:22:19.320 or pay for whatever, whatever their heart's desire.
00:22:22.620 And now all of a sudden these kids have can't see and feel their hard earned cash leaving
00:22:29.340 their possession and dealing with change and the math involved and like using cash is such
00:22:34.780 an innate learning experience for children and mathematics and learning.
00:22:41.000 And, um, so anyway, I was, I loved the comments.
00:22:43.300 We scrolled through them a little bit last week as well.
00:22:45.140 And parents are just like, but they're like, we're not coming anymore.
00:22:47.520 And I would love to see something like this translate over to those businesses to demand
00:22:52.140 that they still, um, take cash and, and transact with legal tender.
00:22:59.600 Because I think that the more and more we see that get it, we're getting away from that.
00:23:04.060 We need to really fight to ensure that that legal tender is upheld.
00:23:08.920 Sure.
00:23:09.060 Um, the, uh, this bill though is a horror show on multiple different levels.
00:23:15.220 Um, we have our own petition.
00:23:17.220 It's at don'tkillcash.com at Rebel News.
00:23:20.220 You can sign our petition too.
00:23:21.940 Cause as soon as Esther saw this, he was like, holy hell, this is a nightmare.
00:23:25.800 We'll start with the cash problems, but there's more in this bill.
00:23:29.180 Um, as my professor, Michael Geist points out, and for those of you who don't know, sorry,
00:23:35.720 Dr. Michael Geist, um, he's from the university of Ottawa.
00:23:39.460 He's a law professor there specializing in telecommunications and, oh, look at that.
00:23:44.900 Almost 7,000 signatures already.
00:23:46.500 Um, law professor Michael Geist, who was like so good on C11, C18, that's the Online Streaming
00:23:56.140 Act and the Online News Act, pointing out the problems with that stuff and the online harms
00:24:01.840 bill.
00:24:02.600 He also points out that this whole thing, besides the cash problem, is an absolute violation
00:24:10.060 of privacy, because it allows for warrantless searches of devices.
00:24:16.620 Um, and, uh, so it reads, the new powers in Bill C2 would let agencies demand details about
00:24:23.860 whether a company provided services to a new user.
00:24:26.740 So, like, telecommunications companies would be required without warrant to turn over your
00:24:33.180 stuff to, uh, public safety agencies, be it the CBSA or the RCMP, maybe CSIS, um, and, uh,
00:24:45.780 where and when you were connected, who you communicated with, and what apps you're using.
00:24:52.960 All of it done without judicial oversight, while the content of messages might still require
00:24:58.560 a warrant.
00:25:00.060 Everything else could be handed over quietly, and telecommunications companies would be barred
00:25:05.060 from telling users for a full year.
00:25:07.180 So, they would be required to give over everything except the actual things you typed in a text
00:25:13.960 message.
00:25:14.920 So, everything else but that, and you wouldn't know, and they wouldn't be, uh, you wouldn't
00:25:21.440 be able to find out for at least a year.
00:25:24.660 Wow.
00:25:24.740 Even more concerning, providers would receive legal immunity if they voluntarily hand over
00:25:30.800 your data.
00:25:31.740 You know, like what the banks did with, uh, the trucker convoy.
00:25:37.440 What about what TELUS did when they handed over all of your location data to public health
00:25:42.100 through BluDot?
00:25:43.600 Yeah, exactly.
00:25:44.680 So, even if no official request was made, they could just say, like, hey, uh, we saw Tamara
00:25:49.840 Leach in the news.
00:25:51.300 Here's all of her data.
00:25:52.380 Yeah, give us a attaboy.
00:25:55.800 Maybe we'll get a government contract in return.
00:25:58.840 Um, the government continues to frame this as phone book level info, but the truth is
00:26:03.620 far more invasive.
00:26:04.760 He warns that this type of access could open the doors to millions of secret data grabs
00:26:09.640 every single year.
00:26:10.360 And then he puts it all into context.
00:26:11.860 In case you think this isn't already happening, this will make it that much worse.
00:26:15.620 In 2011, telecom providers responded to over 1.1 million such requests without warrants.
00:26:22.740 Subscriber data was handed over nearly, for nearly 800,000 people.
00:26:27.820 And that was over a decade ago.
00:26:29.820 So, this is real bad.
00:26:33.860 Yeah.
00:26:34.360 And these breaches, hacks, leaks, I mean, these aren't even breaches, hacks, or leaks.
00:26:38.240 This is voluntarily handing it over.
00:26:40.500 But these cyber security threats are just becoming more and more prevalent.
00:26:46.500 And now you have it legislated in there that there's protections in place to voluntarily
00:26:51.680 do that, to voluntarily breach somebody's privacy and their data and just hand it over
00:26:58.020 to the government.
00:26:58.860 I mean, if this isn't totalitarianism 101, I don't know what is.
00:27:04.260 Yeah, privacy died during the COVID pandemic.
00:27:07.900 That was the real, the real fatality of COVID, was the idea that we had any privacy whatsoever.
00:27:14.480 I think we'll hit an ad break.
00:27:15.860 We'll come back to Sir John A.
00:27:19.080 Yes.
00:27:19.640 Being removed from his plywood sarcophagus in Ontario.
00:27:24.720 So, we'll be right back with that.
00:27:26.920 Hey, what do you think about Alberta independence?
00:27:29.100 What do you think about Alberta trying to get a better deal within Canada?
00:27:32.300 Do you think Alberta should have the right to vote in a referendum to separate the same
00:27:36.640 way Quebec did?
00:27:37.380 There's a lot of things to talk about.
00:27:39.420 Can Canada be fixed?
00:27:40.900 Or has the West tried that, done that, been there, and it's just not working?
00:27:44.980 Well, we're going to talk about all these things in an amazing day-long conference in Red
00:27:51.060 Deer, the heart of Alberta, on Saturday, June 14th.
00:27:55.700 Go to donegettingscrewed.com to get your tickets now.
00:27:59.760 It's going to be a full day.
00:28:00.500 We'll start with a continental breakfast.
00:28:02.180 We'll have panel discussions.
00:28:04.000 We'll have keynote speakers.
00:28:05.100 We'll even have a debate.
00:28:06.600 I think that's going to be the highlight of it.
00:28:08.740 David Legg, former advisor to the Alberta government, is going to make the case for Canada.
00:28:13.800 Keith Wilson, lawyer, freedom activist.
00:28:16.840 He was with the Freedom Convoy.
00:28:18.140 He'll be making the case for independence.
00:28:20.280 We'll have other people in the debates, a media panel, and people of different points
00:28:25.300 of view, including different political parties.
00:28:27.300 There's going to be a bit of a trade show there, too.
00:28:29.420 So we'll serve you two meals, but more than that, we'll serve you ideas you just can't
00:28:34.240 get anywhere else.
00:28:35.380 But it's coming up quick, and I promise you this event will sell out.
00:28:39.420 There's only room for 1,000 people.
00:28:41.940 And I know that there have been 1,000-person meetings about this subject all over the province.
00:28:47.040 In fact, we had an event in Calgary that sold out in two days when we had only 350 seats.
00:28:52.360 So don't be disappointed.
00:28:54.140 Go to donegettingscrewed.com and get your tickets now.
00:28:58.460 I'll be there.
00:28:59.120 Sheila Gunn-Reed will be there.
00:29:00.200 So many interesting people.
00:29:02.220 Our friends in other media companies like Western Standard, Juno News, and Counter-Signal.
00:29:07.000 It's going to be a great day.
00:29:08.620 That's Saturday, June 14th, in Red Deer, Alberta, all day long.
00:29:13.280 Go to donegettingscrewed.com to get your ticket now.
00:29:16.280 Don't wait.
00:29:17.060 I don't want you to be locked out.
00:29:18.760 It's going to be full.
00:29:20.120 See you there.
00:29:20.580 That's donegettingscrewed.com.
00:29:25.240 Canadians know the national anthem.
00:29:28.100 They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
00:29:32.120 But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms.
00:29:35.660 The Freedom Passport will change that.
00:29:38.100 It looks and feels like a Canadian passport,
00:29:41.160 but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a portable, easy-to-read format.
00:29:47.000 The Freedom Passport.
00:29:48.900 Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love at freedompassport.ca.
00:29:59.200 All right, Sheila, before we get into Sir John A.,
00:30:02.080 I just want to throw to someone who gave us a super chat last week.
00:30:06.600 Okay.
00:30:07.880 Kladgen81 is following up here.
00:30:11.160 So this is my mistake.
00:30:13.140 I said I would pass along the message,
00:30:15.440 completely forgotten the mayhem of last week
00:30:18.300 and obviously the beginnings of this week.
00:30:20.180 So thank you so much, Kladgen81, for the reminder.
00:30:24.980 Hey, Sheila Gunn-Reed,
00:30:25.880 did you get my tip on checking out the UCP Bill C-14,
00:30:29.980 how that will affect the charities in Alberta fundraising to better our communities?
00:30:37.060 Can you look into the issue?
00:30:38.880 And last week when that came in, I said,
00:30:41.360 Sheila probably knows.
00:30:42.720 I'll pass this along to her and get her comments.
00:30:45.400 So thank you for following up.
00:30:47.660 And Sheila, do you know about this or will you look into it?
00:30:52.380 I will look into it.
00:30:53.720 A bill spring session has just wrapped.
00:31:00.920 You want UCP Bill C-14?
00:31:03.280 You mean Bill 14?
00:31:05.100 Because we don't put a C in front of anything in Alberta.
00:31:08.420 C stands for Canadian.
00:31:12.040 I will, or Commons, sorry, Commons and Senate.
00:31:14.860 So if you see an S, it's Senate originating bill.
00:31:18.000 I will, I'm writing it right down right now.
00:31:21.320 UCP Bill 14.
00:31:24.460 Got it.
00:31:25.940 All right.
00:31:27.380 Stay tuned, I suppose.
00:31:28.980 Yes.
00:31:29.720 All right.
00:31:30.340 And now in other news,
00:31:32.540 we have Sir John A back at Queen's Park for the first time in five years.
00:31:40.780 Yeah.
00:31:41.720 He was boarded up.
00:31:42.900 He's been boarded up ever since, what was it?
00:31:45.220 The Black Lives Matter protests hit the streets in the summer of 2020.
00:31:50.340 Yeah.
00:31:50.780 And I see CBC's got a typo in their headline.
00:31:57.660 Committee vote.
00:31:58.460 Why did this have to go to a committee?
00:32:00.520 Voted to remove hoarding.
00:32:02.380 Hoarding.
00:32:02.840 I think they mean boarding.
00:32:03.940 That was put up after statue was vandalized in 2020.
00:32:07.340 They victim blamed.
00:32:08.600 Poor John A.
00:32:09.440 He was the victim of vandalism.
00:32:11.400 So they told him that his skirt was too short.
00:32:14.600 And then they put him in a cloak.
00:32:16.940 This is so stupid.
00:32:18.220 There was a time where the province of Alberta was threatening the province of Ontario, saying
00:32:25.160 like, if you're not going to take down that rat infested plywood sarcophagus around Sir
00:32:31.180 John A.
00:32:31.580 MacDonald, we'll take him.
00:32:33.620 Thank you very much.
00:32:35.120 And there was no movement on that.
00:32:38.000 But yeah, why did it take a committee to vote to take down the shroud, the plywood shroud,
00:32:47.000 off one of the fathers of confederation, the father of confederation?
00:32:52.060 Yeah, after demonstrators threw pink paint on him in 2020 amid a wave of protests across
00:32:59.380 the country, it says here at the CBC that they took aim at McDonald's as Canadians grappled
00:33:07.160 with the history of residential schools.
00:33:09.700 But I think it was actually the Black Lives Matter protests that were unleashed on the streets
00:33:16.000 at, you know, adjacent to George Floyd and what happened there in the US.
00:33:20.720 I think it's all the same agitators just looking for a reason.
00:33:25.740 Like whether it was the alleged Kamloops residential school discovery and then Justin Trudeau saying
00:33:31.880 we're genocide heirs and saying how he understood the church burnings.
00:33:36.540 And then they were vandalizing statues of the Queen and statues of the Pope.
00:33:41.180 And he was just caught up in the nonsense.
00:33:43.080 But yeah, it's BLM, the anti-colonialist agitators.
00:33:50.260 I think they're all the same people.
00:33:52.020 Like I think that Venn diagram, as Jason Kenney would say, is a circle.
00:33:57.260 It's so funny.
00:33:58.260 They have a quote in here from NDP's Sol Mamakwa, who is a residential school survivor
00:34:05.480 and the only First Nation member at Queen's Park.
00:34:08.780 And he said that this statue is a source of pain.
00:34:12.400 It's a statue of oppression.
00:34:15.060 It is a statue of colonialism.
00:34:16.760 It is a statue of Indian residential schools, were his thoughts on the unveiling of Canada's
00:34:26.720 founding father at Queen's Park.
00:34:29.000 These people never have the same sense of emotion and regret when they trot out Jean Chrétien,
00:34:40.420 who was the Indian Affairs Minister who signed off on the last residential schools.
00:34:46.400 He's still alive.
00:34:48.120 He's not a statue, although he looks like a fossil.
00:34:51.480 He's still alive.
00:34:52.940 They never protest him.
00:34:54.880 They treat him as completely credible.
00:34:56.700 Well, elder statesman of the progressive movement, he's the last dude responsible for
00:35:02.960 the residential schools.
00:35:04.360 Go harass him instead of a statue, an inanimate statue.
00:35:09.900 They're actually living people who are still responsible, but they never quite get that far.
00:35:16.120 Our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, his dad.
00:35:18.560 Right.
00:35:19.460 What played a crucial role in residential schools as well.
00:35:24.340 So I don't know.
00:35:25.600 So, yeah, where is the disdain for him as well?
00:35:31.680 It's just absolutely ridiculous.
00:35:34.260 Yeah.
00:35:34.940 Let's move ahead.
00:35:36.440 Yes.
00:35:37.080 Canada, because we're running out of time.
00:35:39.480 Canada sets record number for refugee claims.
00:35:42.740 I think we're actually fourth in the world.
00:35:45.380 Yeah.
00:35:45.620 So I wrote this up so we can source direct to my written piece here.
00:35:50.820 We soared to the fourth place among global asylum destinations, according to the United
00:35:58.480 Nations recent refugee report.
00:36:01.340 And so we took in a staggering 174,000 new refugees.
00:36:07.080 This is 2024 data, obviously, which jolsted us up one place.
00:36:14.660 We were previously fifth on the global scale.
00:36:17.480 And I just point out in this written piece here that also Canada welcomed over 800,000 newcomers
00:36:26.540 in the first four months of this year alone.
00:36:29.000 After the Liberals pledged to rein immigration into more sustainable levels, we see that just continuing to skyrocket.
00:36:38.660 And I show a graph here that was posted on X that just, I mean, the proof is in the pudding there.
00:36:46.880 And the data speaks for itself, look at that line, just jump up from 2020 and just absolutely skyrocket our international migration from, you can see the record from 1952 all the way until 2025.
00:37:02.380 And it is just absolutely staggering.
00:37:06.620 And now we see it playing out, you know, in real time, all of our social safety nets, our healthcare, housing, all of these things are strained.
00:37:15.280 Food banks are at max capacity, seeing more people than they ever have before.
00:37:22.240 And we're just continuing to bring them all in.
00:37:25.300 And we're ranking fourth now for refugee claims on the global scale.
00:37:29.880 I think Germany was third.
00:37:32.320 Let me just see if I can pull up the report.
00:37:34.760 It's the first hyperlink in the written piece, the actual report there.
00:37:39.080 Um, so we, we welcomed 174,000 Germany, almost 230,000 Egypt welcomed just under 435,000.
00:37:51.580 And, um, the, the U S was almost 730,000 refugee claims in 2024.
00:38:00.180 You can see the graph on page, uh, what is it here?
00:38:06.420 Oh, my screen, just page two of the report.
00:38:09.860 Um, sorry, the first page, no page two.
00:38:14.320 I was right.
00:38:14.600 The first time you can see the refugee claims from 2014 have just continued to go up, um, exponentially.
00:38:21.920 And so we have this unmitigated immigration disaster, I would say, in this unchecked flow.
00:38:30.760 Maybe we can just play this clip here that I embedded from, um, Michelle Rempel-Garner
00:38:35.980 out of Alberta, when she speaks to just the absolute disarray and chaos that this is causing.
00:38:43.580 Why are they persisting in bringing in hundreds of thousands of students and temporary foreign
00:38:51.820 workers on, on, on temporary visas when people can't find jobs?
00:38:56.660 Sure.
00:38:57.860 We, uh, completely, uh, let's use the facts here.
00:39:02.920 Her numbers are totally inaccurate.
00:39:05.180 There's been 290,000 net new arrivals into Canada through the, uh, international student program.
00:39:11.780 I don't know where she comes up with numbers.
00:39:14.160 Uh, I would contextualize the numbers that she seems to read.
00:39:17.780 I want to contextualize it for you, Mr. Chair.
00:39:20.240 The reality is, is that there were way less than 290,000 housing starts last year, and there's
00:39:25.640 a lot more than 290,000 people waiting for family doctors right now.
00:39:29.800 Why is she persisting in raising immigration levels when people can't find a doctor or a job?
00:39:35.140 Yeah, Minister.
00:39:36.460 So, Mr. Chair, again, I would say we are working on sustainable immigration.
00:39:41.780 We have committed to reduce the temporary, uh, numbers as well as our permanent residency
00:39:47.940 numbers.
00:39:49.380 Yeah, but they haven't.
00:39:51.060 So.
00:39:51.620 Right.
00:39:52.840 Uh, also, I mean, we're, when you look, break these numbers down per capita, Germany is twice
00:39:59.600 our size.
00:40:00.620 Yeah.
00:40:01.320 Like twice our size.
00:40:02.900 They're like 83, 84-ish million, I believe.
00:40:06.620 Uh, they're twice our size.
00:40:08.280 We are taking, we're not even absorbing them.
00:40:12.060 We are just taking in and warehousing refugees faster than anyone else in the world.
00:40:18.260 I think we're close to more than Egypt by capita, and Egypt is right next door to a war zone.
00:40:25.180 Mm-hmm.
00:40:26.660 Where's Poland on the list?
00:40:28.440 Are we ahead of Poland?
00:40:30.700 They're right next door to a war too.
00:40:33.420 Think about that.
00:40:34.960 We are across the ocean from wars, and the war-torn places per capita are taking in fewer
00:40:40.700 refugees.
00:40:41.200 And it was only last year that, um, this, this piece came out of the Daily Hive where
00:40:48.820 immigrants are leaving Canada because they've been sold this idea that they can come to
00:40:55.020 Canada for a better life, and that better life just doesn't exist here anymore.
00:40:59.880 And, um, the headline on this piece from the Daily Hive, and that, that one's also hyperlinked
00:41:05.140 in that article, but I'll put it in the, uh, thread just to keep things together.
00:41:10.880 There's no living, just surviving.
00:41:14.460 Right.
00:41:14.700 Immigrants get candid about why they want to leave.
00:41:18.220 So, like, they're also, we're just bringing them all in, but then they're like, wait a
00:41:22.120 minute, we thought this was the land of, of freedom and good fortune, and it's actually
00:41:27.520 crumbling.
00:41:28.660 So, we're at, we're out, we're going back, we're going back to our home country.
00:41:33.540 Like, it's a mess.
00:41:35.140 Yeah, and I remember when Tucker Carlson was speaking in Edmonton, and he was like,
00:41:40.260 I love Canada.
00:41:41.540 It's wide, open, vast, beautiful, and free, and yet you have a government that is insistent
00:41:48.720 on filling it up with people.
00:41:50.940 For what reason?
00:41:52.660 I don't know.
00:41:53.440 Like, there are places in the world that are heavily populated, yet still beautiful.
00:41:58.840 I think of Taiwan, for example.
00:42:00.360 Um, but still, like, the, the, the crowding, the situation of having people on top of people
00:42:06.640 on top of people.
00:42:08.320 What is the point of that all?
00:42:10.800 You know, it doesn't grow the economy.
00:42:12.980 It strains everything.
00:42:15.020 The only thing I could think of is that these are future Liberal Party voters, which in the
00:42:19.780 new country, that's not going to be my problem.
00:42:22.200 It's going to be yours, Samara.
00:42:23.760 Yeah, thank you.
00:42:25.340 I'm, we're seriously talking.
00:42:27.660 I mean, the worst things get, I'm like, you know what?
00:42:32.180 Maybe, maybe we can forge a new path in Alberta, in the future country of Alberta.
00:42:39.020 Yeah, all I know is when, when Trump goes to Canada and asks us for the G7 and he looks
00:42:43.220 around and says, these people want out of Canada and they kind of like us, he's going
00:42:47.360 to come on real strong to us.
00:42:48.960 He's never actually come on strong specifically to Alberta.
00:42:52.080 And once he takes a gander at us and what we have and what we could all, what we could
00:42:59.740 have, he's really going to want us.
00:43:02.420 And I think we're going to have some strong offers after the G7 next week.
00:43:07.940 Yeah, well, especially as our leadership just maintains its complete ineptitude, on that
00:43:17.660 same vein of immigration, the immigration minister, who you saw a little clip of her
00:43:22.520 there, basically saying a whole lot of nothing.
00:43:25.740 She says that visitors on expired visas in Canada are just expected to leave on their
00:43:31.480 own, right?
00:43:31.920 It's all like, oh, you guys, it's fine.
00:43:34.000 They're just going to go.
00:43:35.420 It's good faith.
00:43:36.300 I mean, we trust that they'll just leave when their visa expires.
00:43:40.760 Why wouldn't they?
00:43:42.080 Right.
00:43:42.860 Yeah.
00:43:43.460 It's not like we have like, what is it?
00:43:45.420 A half a million or maybe a million people, potential deportees just wandering about the
00:43:50.680 country.
00:43:51.220 They don't know where they are.
00:43:52.840 They missed immigration board review hearings.
00:43:55.840 So if people were going to self-deport, they probably would have already.
00:44:00.160 We wouldn't have all these people who are under deportation orders just trotting around the
00:44:06.100 country, taking up our housing.
00:44:09.220 It's their best guess.
00:44:10.720 They estimate that it's anywhere from 200 to 500,000 people who should have been deported
00:44:17.440 or are here illegally.
00:44:19.620 But they just, we don't know where they went.
00:44:21.680 Maybe they went into the U.S.
00:44:22.880 We've been seeing more and more that that's where they end up, which is why Trump has urged
00:44:28.300 and taken measures against Canada to tighten its border security because we can't keep
00:44:33.500 track of these illegals.
00:44:35.480 And they're just given free reign through the country.
00:44:37.780 And then they cross the borders into the U.S., which is just more craziness.
00:44:44.400 The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Lina Diab, said that it's not up
00:44:51.560 to the Immigration Department to enforce the removal of deportees.
00:44:59.060 So who is it up to then?
00:45:01.380 I guess the CBSA.
00:45:03.860 I don't know.
00:45:05.360 Our public safety minister who has ties to terrorist organizations.
00:45:11.040 Do you know what I think about how stupid and inept these people are?
00:45:14.480 They actually, we should be grateful things are not worse.
00:45:19.300 They're bad, but these people are absolute morons.
00:45:23.320 You know, and all they just shuffling the buck around.
00:45:25.240 They don't know their file.
00:45:26.080 They don't care.
00:45:27.080 And they're, all their answers are somebody else's, somebody else will do it.
00:45:30.900 It's fine.
00:45:32.000 It's not our responsibility.
00:45:32.880 We're going to have conversations about it.
00:45:35.540 So just you wait because we'll talk.
00:45:39.040 That's basically what I get from the Liberals at this point.
00:45:41.980 And especially, you know, even the borders, all of them, they're like, we're going to have
00:45:45.400 some serious conversations.
00:45:46.740 What happened to our fentanyl czar, by the way?
00:45:48.800 Yeah, he had some sort of presser, I think, earlier this week, but I didn't hear much otherwise.
00:45:56.840 Unfortunately, I wasn't able to tune into it.
00:45:59.320 But we know that they were talking, Sheila.
00:46:01.820 They assured us that they were having conversations.
00:46:05.040 Yeah.
00:46:05.960 They were talking.
00:46:07.220 They were having conversations.
00:46:07.860 That's great.
00:46:08.560 And one of the things that, you know, like, have you ever tried to use the healthcare system
00:46:15.420 these days?
00:46:16.460 It's months, maybe a year, years to get an appointment, especially for medical imaging.
00:46:23.120 Saskatchewan seems to have some of the lower wait times.
00:46:26.660 And that's because they allow people to access private MRI and imaging clinics and have that
00:46:36.320 offset by, you know, the province covers the cost and the private sector does the delivery.
00:46:42.840 And so they have lower wait times to get medically necessary imaging, like CT scans and MRIs.
00:46:50.820 Um, and besides that, we're, according to the radical right-wing zealots at the Globe and
00:46:57.360 Mail, Canadians are waiting longer for surgeries, even as the number of operations increases.
00:47:04.520 Yeah, I wonder why.
00:47:05.440 It's almost like there's more people trying to use the services, the rationed services of
00:47:10.240 a publicly funded healthcare system.
00:47:12.480 Well, and they say that surgical volume increased just under the, uh, the headline and the photo
00:47:18.560 here, they say surgical volume increased by about 5% between 2019 and 2020 and then 2023
00:47:26.880 and 2024, but did not keep up with the 7% population growth and 10% rise in demand for people 65 and
00:47:36.600 older, because we also have that aging population of baby boomers and this unmitigated record immigration
00:47:44.000 coming into the country.
00:47:44.980 Well, we have new Canadians sponsoring their parents into the country and then they, and they're aging too.
00:47:51.640 And so we don't have enough healthcare for our liberal voting boomers.
00:47:55.920 And then, so we're just going to bring in more liberal voting boomers and look, I'm not against
00:48:00.000 immigration, but I don't think immigration should be to the detriment of the country and the services
00:48:06.480 provided because then you're failing both the immigrant, but also the people paying for it.
00:48:11.120 Um, and this, I saw this on six buzz, um, and it's making the rounds a Canadian man who waited
00:48:19.580 over six months for an MRI appointment in Canada, finally got one while on vacation in China for
00:48:25.180 190 bucks, no appointment needed.
00:48:28.960 Yeah.
00:48:29.460 I heard my sister was actually just telling me about that story, which I'm so she currently
00:48:35.020 lives in Mexico and she says it, it is absolutely staggering the difference in, in medical care and
00:48:41.060 the avail, the ability to get answers quickly, especially if you're having, you know, some
00:48:47.500 sort of actual health emergency.
00:48:50.900 And, um, so this is very much how things are run also in other countries, Canada with our free
00:48:59.500 healthcare that we all pay thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars into every year, whether
00:49:05.440 or not you use the system, because thank you, um, to our ever increasing taxes, but this is
00:49:13.860 the way in other countries, I mean, for $190, if you're not being taxed that every year to
00:49:20.580 pay into a healthcare system, you could afford to seek that kind of diagnostic imaging within
00:49:27.200 a few hours rather than waiting months, years.
00:49:31.580 I mean, even if you go into the emergency department and you wait, you know, eight plus
00:49:37.200 hours, that's a strain in and of itself.
00:49:40.660 And your time is also worth something, right?
00:49:43.340 Time is money.
00:49:44.420 And so when you're waiting eight hours for diagnostics that you could go to another country for and
00:49:50.720 get pretty, I mean, on a scale of, you know, one, two, very expensive, I would say that's
00:49:57.500 relatively moderate in terms of getting some answers for a health woe.
00:50:03.100 Um, this is your future.
00:50:04.080 And the longer you leave things waiting and undiagnosed and unattended to the worse they're
00:50:09.620 going to get.
00:50:10.680 So we could curb and save a lot by, by pre, by having a little bit of forethought and being
00:50:18.580 able to get to people quicker so that their situation and their health doesn't deteriorate
00:50:22.800 waiting months to simply be seen or have a test done.
00:50:27.520 Yeah.
00:50:28.060 I mean, in this, a similar, a similar MRI, if you were to pay out of pocket in Canada,
00:50:34.720 because there are private imaging clinics where you can just jump the queue and pay out
00:50:38.620 a pocket can cost anywhere from like $1,900 to like $5,600.
00:50:47.020 But for some people who are like, I have a condition that cannot wait.
00:50:52.460 That's a price.
00:50:53.900 A lot of people are willing to pay, um, or they could just wait and die in line.
00:50:58.120 I guess that's the choice.
00:50:59.800 Yeah.
00:51:00.260 And there's always made to, so you could always just get medical assistance and dying.
00:51:05.940 If you feel hopeless and disgruntled at our medical system that is leaving you in hallways
00:51:11.960 just to wither away.
00:51:13.840 Um, so there's your solution Canadians.
00:51:15.920 It's there ready for the taking.
00:51:18.140 Yes.
00:51:18.940 But crazy that you can go to China, um, all the criticisms and, and things that, you know,
00:51:25.080 the hate we have on for China.
00:51:26.340 And you could, this, this guy was from what I gather.
00:51:31.040 Yeah.
00:51:31.140 He was just vacationing there and he's like, you know what?
00:51:33.020 I've been waiting so long for this in Canada.
00:51:35.320 I'm just going to see what I can do here in China.
00:51:37.560 And then he was in and out, no appointment, just $190 later.
00:51:42.500 There are entire Mexican border communities that exist to help Canadians.
00:51:48.380 Like, especially the ones that border Arizona, because lots of Western Canadians, they have
00:51:53.000 like, they have their, you know, vacation in Arizona kind of thing, uh, Scottsdale.
00:51:58.900 Um, and like places like Nogales in Mexico, like this, these are places that are just like
00:52:06.400 nothing but dentists and surgery.
00:52:09.000 Um, because it's right across the border.
00:52:11.940 You're paying Mexican money.
00:52:13.960 Now you're, it's in, the prices are inflated a little bit, uh, because you are dealing
00:52:18.600 with tourists, um, as you know, as you would get in, let's say Mexico city, but it's convenient.
00:52:26.460 It's right across the border.
00:52:28.180 Um, but you know, to say that there's no private healthcare in Canada or for Canadians, that's
00:52:33.520 a joke.
00:52:33.880 We just have to go somewhere else to get it.
00:52:36.140 And still pay into the system that cannot serve you.
00:52:41.820 Simultaneously.
00:52:42.180 Obviously you're forced through taxation to pay into the free healthcare that, um, we're
00:52:48.520 so well known for.
00:52:50.480 That's right.
00:52:51.280 So I know you're going to have an ad break, but I think that we should maybe just skip
00:52:56.480 it to run through, um, this, the Trump video clip that we have now.
00:53:01.400 Sure.
00:53:02.040 Where he's finally just giving an ultimatum.
00:53:04.260 He's like, you know what?
00:53:05.180 We're sending tariff letters to all countries, i.e. Canada who won't strike a deal with him
00:53:12.140 and you can either take it or leave it.
00:53:15.480 Look at this.
00:53:16.120 We're rocking in terms of deals.
00:53:18.840 Now, at a certain point, we're just going to send letters out.
00:53:21.780 And I think you understand that, saying, this is the deal.
00:53:25.500 You can take it or you can leave it.
00:53:27.920 You don't have to use it.
00:53:29.000 You don't have to shop in the United States, as I say.
00:53:32.200 So at a certain point, we'll do that.
00:53:33.620 We're not quite ready.
00:53:34.400 We're dealing with quite a few countries and they all want to make a deal with us, every
00:53:39.200 one of them.
00:53:39.640 Who's next?
00:53:40.400 Who are you expecting to get a deal with next?
00:53:42.020 Well, we're dealing with Japan.
00:53:43.220 We're dealing with South Korea.
00:53:44.480 We're dealing with a lot of them.
00:53:45.560 We're dealing with about 15 countries.
00:53:47.240 But as you know, we have about 150 plus.
00:53:50.880 And you can't do that.
00:53:52.060 So we're going to be sending letters out in about a week and a half, two weeks, to countries
00:53:57.420 telling them what the deal is, like I did with EU.
00:54:01.500 And are you happy with the EU right now?
00:54:03.380 You were unhappy with them about 10 days ago.
00:54:05.240 Well, I'll let you know in about a week.
00:54:07.080 They do want to negotiate.
00:54:08.380 I will say that.
00:54:09.000 I love that they say, you know, you're unhappy with them about 10 days ago.
00:54:16.040 Because Trump these days, you don't know where he is at from day to day.
00:54:21.620 It seems to change so quickly.
00:54:24.200 And one day he's saying one thing.
00:54:25.980 A couple days later, he'll say another.
00:54:28.220 So I really appreciate that question.
00:54:30.360 Just kind of highlighting, hey, where are you at today?
00:54:33.700 Just one more on Trump before we get into the Daily Cringe.
00:54:39.560 This video from former NDP MP, Charlie Angus.
00:54:47.160 He's a former NDP MP.
00:54:50.140 So you're a former MP from a party that is reduced to utter insignificance in the House of Commons.
00:54:59.340 Why does anybody care what you have to say?
00:55:03.580 But yet here's Charlie Angus making these press conferences on CPAC with his, like, Dracula hair.
00:55:13.200 I just, I don't understand what's going on here.
00:55:16.840 But he says that Donald Trump should not participate in the G7 in Kananaskis.
00:55:24.400 First of all, in the new country, we'll decide who gets to come into Alberta, not Charlie Angus.
00:55:29.480 But he's the leader of the free world, whether he likes it or not, and the leader of the world's largest economy.
00:55:41.660 Whether or not Charlie Angus has Trump derangement syndrome doesn't make a difference.
00:55:46.340 It doesn't change those two things.
00:55:49.260 Let's watch old Count Dracula, Charlie Angus, tell us why Trump shouldn't be here.
00:55:54.640 And this morning I offer my deep concern, solidarity, and prayers with the people of California who are out in the streets on arm,
00:56:02.680 defending the rule of law against illegal kidnapping and deportation,
00:56:07.480 and they're being faced down by the military might of the United States Marines.
00:56:12.020 We're not talking about creeping fascism here.
00:56:15.280 This is full-on police state tyranny from the gangster president, Donald Trump.
00:56:21.160 And this is the man who will soon be crossing our border to attend the G7 meetings in Canada.
00:56:28.300 I have received hundreds of messages of concern and outrage from Canadians that a convicted fellow,
00:56:36.260 sexual predator, and a man who has threatened our nation's sovereignty is being allowed into our country.
00:56:44.140 I understand the Prime Minister Carney's reluctance to escalate the situation with the MAGA president.
00:56:50.220 But we have to stop kidding ourselves, and we have to be very honest about what we are being asked to engage with.
00:56:59.400 He is welcoming in Vladimir Putin's sock puppet, who will have the best seat in the key negotiations with the G6.
00:57:09.020 Donald Trump will be there as we attempt to negotiate a deal in a dark new world.
00:57:15.900 And we know that Donald Trump is there to undermine us at every step of the way.
00:57:21.720 The Prime Minister must say boldly that he will stand up against any attempts to interfere in Canada
00:57:28.320 and to undermine through academia or through American corporations that are in Canada any DEI measures that are in Canada,
00:57:39.380 because Canada is a nation of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
00:57:45.260 This is what makes Canada a light in this new dark age of gangster regimes.
00:57:51.220 And Trump is the gangster.
00:57:54.220 I urge Canadians to keep the boycott strong.
00:57:57.720 I urge the Prime Minister to work with us and work with our allies and send a very clear message
00:58:04.060 that we will not support in any way the rise of an authoritarian regime south of the border
00:58:09.360 that is using the military against its own people.
00:58:13.220 Canada at this point is holding the line, but we must remain true, norm, strong, and free.
00:58:20.080 So are you calling for Prime Minister Carney to disinvite President Trump to the G7 meeting then?
00:58:26.100 I think it's a really fair question.
00:58:28.720 You are a relevant judge.
00:58:30.400 Now, as again I said, I recognize that Prime Minister Carney probably doesn't want to escalate the situation with Donald Trump.
00:58:38.100 But I think we need to be sending a message somehow that we will contain this threat.
00:58:42.880 And we need to make sure that we are not giving Donald Trump all access in our negotiations at the G7
00:58:48.600 because he does not have our interests at heart.
00:58:53.480 It just keeps going.
00:58:55.260 I thought it was over.
00:58:56.360 And then he just continues to become even more unhinged.
00:59:00.740 Good thing the NDP is pretty much irrelevant because that was crazy.
00:59:07.900 We have to live in parallel universes because where in the heck is this person even coming from?
00:59:18.100 Hold the line.
00:59:19.040 I thought Tamara Leach spent like 58 collective days in jail for that
00:59:23.000 after our own government used military force to disband and squash a completely peaceful protest
00:59:32.900 at our nation's capital.
00:59:34.540 Like where these people get off on, I don't even know anymore.
00:59:39.480 I don't know.
00:59:42.680 Like I'm furiously Googling.
00:59:45.200 What is Charlie Angus up to these days?
00:59:48.240 Because why is he still in Ottawa holding press conferences?
00:59:54.300 And why does the media care?
00:59:55.680 Like he is the male version of Elizabeth May, but Elizabeth May has a seat in the House of Commons.
01:00:01.380 What are you up to, Charlie?
01:00:02.660 I went to charlieangus.ca and it's just a weird picture of Charlie Angus holding a business card
01:00:08.300 that says the resistance.
01:00:10.000 And that's it.
01:00:11.820 Bidding.
01:00:12.740 I don't know.
01:00:13.660 Is he on some sort of tour?
01:00:15.080 I think it's Charlie Angus's resistance tour.
01:00:18.400 I'm going full out.
01:00:21.740 I don't know.
01:00:22.700 Yeah.
01:00:23.320 It says.
01:00:24.000 Just a solo guy resisting on his own there.
01:00:27.020 Yeah.
01:00:27.800 I'm going full out.
01:00:28.780 Former Northern Ontario MP Charlie Angus on being more vocal now that he's leaving politics.
01:00:36.960 Great.
01:00:38.020 So we're going to hear more of Charlie Angus now that he's not in the House of Commons.
01:00:43.280 I feel like he's like a poltergeist or something.
01:00:45.880 He's just haunting us.
01:00:47.160 Basically, he's doing some sort of Trump derangement tour, which seems about right.
01:00:57.840 It's better than his folk band.
01:00:59.660 He founded some sort of folk band when he went after he went into the House of Commons.
01:01:06.000 I forgot what it was called, but it was like some sort of resistancy type thing.
01:01:12.660 The man is just a human cringe and he just looks more and more disheveled, I say, as my
01:01:17.020 hair continues to get messier as the hour goes on.
01:01:19.720 But I'm not in the House of Commons.
01:01:22.640 You would think somebody would have used their voice when they were actually in politics rather
01:01:28.720 than when they decide to leave.
01:01:31.300 Charlie Angus's elbows up resistance tour.
01:01:34.460 This is like a joke that I would tell.
01:01:38.920 But it's true.
01:01:40.000 Like, I would say this as a jokey joke, but Charlie is serious.
01:01:45.580 Good grief.
01:01:47.280 He co-founded a punk rock band, Le Entrange.
01:01:53.300 Oh, you know what?
01:01:54.420 That should be our daily dose of cringe if we pull up a video of Charlie Angus's punk rock
01:01:59.600 band from the 1980s.
01:02:02.580 Oh my God.
01:02:03.100 I wonder if his hair is the same, just less gray.
01:02:06.840 Let's go back.
01:02:07.780 What is Charlie Angus doing these days?
01:02:11.060 Anyways.
01:02:12.080 Yeah, his alternative folk band was called the Grievous Angels.
01:02:16.320 Well, I wanted to go back to the one in the 1980s, a punk rock band.
01:02:19.560 They released an album in 2021.
01:02:22.420 Anyway, for anybody who wants a daily dose of cringe, just look that up because we did have
01:02:31.620 something else planned.
01:02:32.740 And last week, my daily dose of cringe became a little bit unhinged.
01:02:36.300 So I won't be in charge of the daily dose of cringe anymore.
01:02:40.480 It's okay.
01:02:41.160 Sometimes leases end up on her just on a tirade.
01:02:45.160 So it's fine.
01:02:46.700 That's what it's designed for.
01:02:47.900 Oh, no.
01:02:48.440 Oh, we got it.
01:02:51.520 2016.
01:02:52.240 Is this the punk rock band or the folk band?
01:02:55.260 It's worth drawing attention to the fact that in a world of unpaid internships out there
01:03:03.960 in this country.
01:03:05.460 No, that's enough.
01:03:07.160 There's the, we have the 1983 one too.
01:03:10.060 Oh my gosh, this is so bad.
01:03:12.220 Please.
01:03:12.480 He looks, he looks like he could be a young man from today with that hair.
01:03:21.560 But then when the dead Kennedys came on, they said the exact same thing.
01:03:25.720 Yeah.
01:03:26.520 40 years ago, I guess.
01:03:29.440 Styles are coming back around now.
01:03:33.780 I don't know if they actually play any music.
01:03:35.860 Oh, it's at the end.
01:03:37.020 It's towards the end.
01:03:38.280 He's been insufferable from the beginning.
01:03:40.280 Yeah.
01:03:42.480 I don't think there's any volume, which is probably for the best.
01:03:46.380 Oh, no, there is.
01:03:54.440 Terrible.
01:03:58.680 Just think he went from this to NDP to all of a sudden being on an elbows up tour.
01:04:05.020 The elbows up tour.
01:04:07.080 Good gracious.
01:04:08.880 Okay.
01:04:09.360 I just learned more about Charlie Angus than I ever wanted to learn.
01:04:13.880 Sorry, everyone.
01:04:14.960 I like him less now, more than ever.
01:04:17.780 Let's, we do have an action, the actual Daily Dose of Cringe.
01:04:21.020 We'll wrap up on that.
01:04:22.100 I know we're over the top of the hour.
01:04:23.760 Yes.
01:04:24.580 John Moore asked Mayor Olivia Chow why she called for a boycott of Home Depot.
01:04:31.400 Now, she did indeed call for a boycott of Home Depot because Home Depot said,
01:04:35.140 we're not funding Pride this year.
01:04:37.700 Apparently, Pride Toronto is facing a $1 million shortfall because no one's paying the shakedown
01:04:47.100 money anymore to the naked dancers of the Pride community.
01:04:53.320 And so she says they should be financially punished because apparently your charitable donations
01:05:00.300 are mandatory these days in Toronto.
01:05:04.260 Let's hear what she has to say.
01:05:06.200 Standing by that.
01:05:07.180 I did not call for a boycott.
01:05:09.820 I hate calling them.
01:05:11.420 Yeah, don't shop at Home Depot.
01:05:12.920 I say.
01:05:14.160 Ronan, Ronan.
01:05:15.100 You say you never call for a boycott.
01:05:16.500 Well, I'm saying that they are, they are American.
01:05:19.520 So we've been saying shop local.
01:05:21.300 75% of the stuff they stock is from Canada.
01:05:24.440 I know.
01:05:25.140 I know.
01:05:25.680 But.
01:05:25.960 No, you don't.
01:05:26.480 She said, well, I didn't call for a boycott.
01:05:27.880 I didn't say don't shop at Home Depot.
01:05:30.120 What did she say?
01:05:31.400 Don't shop at Home Depot.
01:05:32.700 Oh, that's what she said.
01:05:34.100 Could we just hear that again?
01:05:35.340 Just to be sure.
01:05:36.060 Don't shop at Home Depot.
01:05:37.260 Okay.
01:05:38.040 Don't shop at Home Depot.
01:05:39.220 And she tries to just, well, I didn't call for a boycott.
01:05:41.680 That sounded like a boycott to me.
01:05:43.400 I just wonder how you react if you're a Canadian citizen, legal resident, hardworking, paying
01:05:50.400 your taxes, and where you work hard is Home Depot.
01:05:54.640 You're a Canadian.
01:05:56.020 70% of the products, John Moore said this morning, are Canadian.
01:06:00.080 And she says, don't shop there.
01:06:01.760 So you don't have a job.
01:06:03.540 You choose what you want to do with your dollars.
01:06:06.480 The craziest thing to me is that Toronto's Pride Festival, like if you can't maintain your
01:06:12.380 own festival in terms of financial responsibility, then why do you have one?
01:06:19.740 Maybe scale it back.
01:06:21.240 Maybe scale it back so it is not a season long.
01:06:24.720 You could just have it like a parade.
01:06:27.140 You could do that.
01:06:28.960 But instead, it's like a season long.
01:06:31.240 And they're like, we don't have enough money to have what used to be known as summer occupied
01:06:36.100 by flags and rainbows.
01:06:38.420 So maybe just do a day like you used to.
01:06:41.500 Like get in a budget, guys.
01:06:43.880 And under the leadership of Mayor Olivia Chow, which you should check out our Daily Dose of
01:06:49.980 Cringe from last Thursday because, wow, she's pretty cringy.
01:06:54.260 She's a cringe recidivist.
01:06:56.320 They're boosting Pride Toronto's funding by 26% this year because all of its corporate backers,
01:07:03.740 or not all of its corporate backers, but three major corporate sponsors have withdrawn their
01:07:08.560 support.
01:07:09.680 The CBC frames it as though it's this backlash against diversity, equity, inclusion in the
01:07:15.340 U.S.
01:07:16.620 But Olivia Chow has committed to boost.
01:07:19.720 She's committed city funds.
01:07:20.940 So your taxpayer dollars, Torontonians, will boost funding for Pride Toronto by 62% by 2027.
01:07:29.840 So, like, taxpayers, once again, foot the bill for this craziness because they can't
01:07:36.460 sustain themselves.
01:07:37.720 And when corporations are like, you know what, we're actually going to pull out, they need
01:07:42.600 to fall back on the endless siphon of the government to stay afloat.
01:07:49.380 Yeah, it's just wild.
01:07:50.560 Like, they'll hand out more than $2.5 million to festival organizers in 2025.
01:07:56.260 Like, why do you need that?
01:07:57.840 Where is that even going?
01:07:59.680 That is crazy.
01:08:01.040 Like, you're struggling to pay for your house in Toronto.
01:08:04.380 Your property taxes are out of control.
01:08:07.820 Potholes, which will knock the fillings out of your teeth.
01:08:11.600 Endless construction that never seems to get finished.
01:08:15.120 And you're like, where's all my money going?
01:08:16.460 Oh, to the people who dance naked in front of little children for an entire season?
01:08:20.960 Oh, okay.
01:08:21.480 I feel satisfied.
01:08:22.620 Thanks.
01:08:22.900 Toronto's the best.
01:08:23.600 I await the Ben Benkis voiceover of this catastrophe.
01:08:30.780 Ben, if you're watching, please, for me.
01:08:34.200 And stay tuned because there will be more Daily Doses of Cringe featuring Mayor Olivia Chow at
01:08:39.380 Toronto Pride events.
01:08:40.600 Undoubtedly.
01:08:42.020 Undoubtedly.
01:08:42.920 Carnival.
01:08:43.620 Carnival, where she wears her best, like, naked lady costume as a senior citizen.
01:08:48.880 She, when she opened the, she held a press conference for the opening of a toilet.
01:08:54.680 She was on the Daily Dose of Cringe.
01:08:57.480 She is a real cringe crime recidivist.
01:09:00.860 And we'll be getting our fill of Mayor Chow.
01:09:05.640 I think that's it for the show.
01:09:06.740 You want to wrap it up?
01:09:07.800 Yeah.
01:09:07.940 We have one chat left.
01:09:09.060 Also, again, from Tamara Leach.
01:09:10.660 Thank you so much, Tamara, my fellow Tamarian.
01:09:14.560 Great show, ladies.
01:09:15.520 Glad I could pop in, see you on Saturday, Sheila.
01:09:19.340 Yes.
01:09:19.680 So anybody else who's still waiting to get their tickets for...
01:09:22.920 Tamara's coming.
01:09:23.640 Yep.

01:09:26.380 Get your tickets for Saturday in Red Deer, Alberta.
01:09:29.240 Full day event.
01:09:30.100 There you go.
01:09:30.720 Tamara Leach will be there also.
01:09:32.540 Thanks, everybody.
01:09:33.040 I think she's coming with Chris, too.
01:09:34.260 I think she and Chris are coming.
01:09:36.200 I just, I, we sort of sorted that out yesterday morning, but I didn't want to announce it in
01:09:40.840 case maybe Tamara had changed her mind or whatever, but she has announced it to
01:09:44.520 us if you haven't gotten tickets to done, to our Done Getting Screwed Town Hall in Red
01:09:48.580 Deer full day.
01:09:49.940 Tamara Leach and Chris, heroes of the Freedom Convoy, will be there the full day.
01:09:54.620 So there you go.
01:09:55.220 Dynamic duo.
01:09:56.300 If you needed another reason.
01:09:57.860 I was just going to say the reasons just keep getting better and better.
01:10:00.300 So there you have it.
01:10:01.180 Thanks, everybody, for joining us.
01:10:02.540 Thanks for the super chat, especially to Tamara Leach for supporting our show today.
01:10:07.860 And for everybody in the background that makes sure all the links are available and
01:10:10.600 all the verbiage is there for everybody to find us.
01:10:12.860 Thank you so much for that hard work.
01:10:15.380 And we will see you back here, same time and place, tomorrow, 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern.
01:10:20.200 In the meantime, stay safe.
01:10:22.080 And as David Menzies would say, stay sane.
01:10:24.960 Do you agree with me?
01:10:25.820 It is time to make...
01:10:26.860 To make...
01:10:27.220 ...
01:10:27.840 ...
01:10:27.980 ...
01:10:28.520 ...
