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.
00:05:25.100
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.
00:05:43.700
That's right, for the full-day event, which is, I think, an incredible deal because you get breakfast and lunch, you know, that.
00:05:54.580
And you can go to donegettingscrewed.com to get tickets, like, right, well, not right now.
00:06:01.240
Then get your tickets. There are just a few left.
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.
00:06:22.620
All that is to say there are things that you need to do once we get off air.
00:06:32.000
But let's talk to this huge news and talk about this huge news that broke yesterday.
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.
00:07:09.720
This is Mercedes Stevenson and Stuart Bell broke this yesterday.
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.
00:08:05.880
I mean, all the time I'm saying, 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.
00:09:05.500
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.
00:09:20.820
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.
00:09:45.460
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.
00:09:59.860
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,
00:11:22.040
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,
00:11:42.940
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
00:11:54.280
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.
00:12:13.020
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.
00:12:29.180
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.
00:12:44.200
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.
00:13:00.520
I mean, I watched the entire Foreign Interference Commission all the many weeks.
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
00:13:26.520
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.
00:13:41.360
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?
00:14:05.160
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
00:14:20.660
Now we have a clip from Larry Brock in the house of commons, and I said it yesterday and
00:14:30.680
Larry Brock was going to be the, uh, justice minister in my fantasy football, uh, conservative
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.
00:15:13.340
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
00:15:48.820
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
00:16:14.700
So for anybody who wants to go check that out, it just went up, uh, I think last night
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.
00:16:38.920
It wasn't actually from Larry Brock here, which I mean, he just, he just, you, you summarized
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
00:17:11.200
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
00:17:23.520
And yet they're about to spend a third of a billion dollars snatching guns, but they don't
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.
00:17:54.260
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
00:18:11.860
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.
00:18:25.860
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.
00:18:38.160
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.
00:18:52.380
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
00:19:04.700
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
00:20:28.560
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.
00:21:23.300
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
00:21:39.260
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
00:22:08.100
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.
00:23:09.060
Um, the, uh, this bill though is a horror show on multiple different levels.
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.
00:23:46.500
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
00:24:02.600
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
00:25:00.060
Everything else could be handed over quietly, and telecommunications companies would be barred
00:25:07.180
So, they would be required to give over everything except the actual things you typed in a text
00:25:14.920
So, everything else but that, and you wouldn't know, and they wouldn't be, uh, you wouldn't
00:25:24.740
Even more concerning, providers would receive legal immunity if they voluntarily hand over
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
00:25:44.680
So, even if no official request was made, they could just say, like, hey, uh, we saw Tamara
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
00:26:04.760
He warns that this type of access could open the doors to millions of secret data grabs
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.
00:26:34.360
And these breaches, hacks, leaks, I mean, these aren't even breaches, hacks, or leaks.
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
00:26:58.860
I mean, if this isn't totalitarianism 101, I don't know what is.
00:27:07.900
That was the real, the real fatality of COVID, was the idea that we had any privacy whatsoever.
00:27:19.640
Being removed from his plywood sarcophagus in Ontario.
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
00:27:40.900
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.
00:28:06.600
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.
00:28:20.280
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
00:28:35.380
But it's coming up quick, and I promise you this event will sell out.
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.
00:28:54.140
Go to donegettingscrewed.com and get your tickets now.
00:29:02.220

Go to donegettingscrewed.com to get your ticket now.
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.

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.
00:30:20.180
So thank you so much, Kladgen81, for the reminder.
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?
00:30:42.720
I'll pass this along to her and get her comments.
00:30:47.660
And Sheila, do you know about this or will you look into it?
00:31:05.100
Because we don't put a C in front of anything in Alberta.
00:31:14.860
So if you see an S, it's Senate originating bill.
00:31:32.540
we have Sir John A back at Queen's Park for the first time in five years.
00:31:45.220
The Black Lives Matter protests hit the streets in the summer of 2020.
00:32:03.940
That was put up after statue was vandalized in 2020.
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
00:32:38.000
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
00:33:09.700
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.
00:33:43.080
But yeah, it's BLM, the anti-colonialist agitators.
00:33:52.020
Like I think that Venn diagram, as Jason Kenney would say, is a circle.
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.
00:34:16.760
It is a statue of Indian residential schools, were his thoughts on the unveiling of Canada's
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.
00:34:48.120
He's not a statue, although he looks like a fossil.
00:34:56.700
Well, elder statesman of the progressive movement, he's the last dude responsible for
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.
00:35:19.460
What played a crucial role in residential schools as well.
00:35:25.600
So, yeah, where is the disdain for him as well?
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
00:36:01.340
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.
00:36:17.480
And I just point out in this written piece here that also Canada welcomed over 800,000 newcomers
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.
00:37:06.620
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.
00:37:34.760
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?
00:38:14.600
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?
00:38:57.860
We, uh, completely, uh, let's use the facts here.
00:39:05.180
There's been 290,000 net new arrivals into Canada through the, uh, international student program.
00:39:14.160
Uh, I would contextualize the numbers that she seems to read.
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?
00:39:36.460
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
00:39:52.840
Uh, also, I mean, we're, when you look, break these numbers down per capita, Germany is twice
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.
00:40:34.960
We are across the ocean from wars, and the war-torn places per capita are taking in fewer
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.
00:41:14.700
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
00:41:28.660
So, we're at, we're out, we're going back, we're going back to our home country.
00:41:35.140
Yeah, and I remember when Tucker Carlson was speaking in Edmonton, and he was like,
00:41:41.540
It's wide, open, vast, beautiful, and free, and yet you have a government that is insistent
00:41:53.440
Like, there are places in the world that are heavily populated, yet still beautiful.
00:42:00.360
Um, but still, like, the, the, the crowding, the situation of having people on top of people
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.
00:42:27.660
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
00:42:48.960
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
00:43:02.420
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
00:43:36.300
I mean, we trust that they'll just leave when their visa expires.
00:43:45.420
A half a million or maybe a million people, potential deportees just wandering about the
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
00:44:10.720
They estimate that it's anywhere from 200 to 500,000 people who should have been deported
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
00:44:35.480
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.
00:45:05.360
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.
00:45:27.080
And they're, all their answers are somebody else's, somebody else will do it.
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
00:45:46.740
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.
00:46:01.820
They assured us that they were having conversations.
00:46:08.560
And one of the things that, you know, like, have you ever tried to use the healthcare system
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.
00:47:05.440
It's almost like there's more people trying to use the services, the rationed services of
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
00:47:44.980
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
00:48:29.460
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
00:48:50.900
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
00:49:31.580
I mean, even if you go into the emergency department and you wait, you know, eight plus
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.
00:50:04.080
And the longer you leave things waiting and undiagnosed and unattended to the worse they're
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.
00:50:28.060
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.
00:50:53.900
A lot of people are willing to pay, um, or they could just wait and die in line.
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
00:51:18.940
But crazy that you can go to China, um, all the criticisms and, and things that, you know,
00:51:26.340
And you could, this, this guy was from what I gather.
00:51:31.140
He was just vacationing there and he's like, you know what?
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
00:52:13.960
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.
00:52:28.180
Um, but you know, to say that there's no private healthcare in Canada or for Canadians, that's
00:52:36.140
And still pay into the system that cannot serve you.
00:52:42.180
Obviously you're forced through taxation to pay into the free healthcare that, um, we're
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.
00:53:05.180
We're sending tariff letters to all countries, i.e. Canada who won't strike a deal with him
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.
00:53:29.000
You don't have to shop in the United States, as I say.
00:53:34.400
We're dealing with quite a few countries and they all want to make a deal with us, every
00:53:52.060
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.
00:54:09.000
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.
00:54:30.360
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.
00:54:50.140
So you're a former MP from a party that is reduced to utter insignificance in the House of Commons.
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.
00:55:49.260
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.
00:56:15.280
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.
00:57:57.720
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?
00:58:30.400
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.
00:58:56.360
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?
00:59:19.040
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
00:59:34.540
Like where these people get off on, I don't even know anymore.
00:59:48.240
Because why is he still in Ottawa holding press conferences?
00:59:55.680
Like he is the male version of Elizabeth May, but Elizabeth May has a seat in the House of Commons.
01:00:02.660
I went to charlieangus.ca and it's just a weird picture of Charlie Angus holding a business card
01:00:28.780
Former Northern Ontario MP Charlie Angus on being more vocal now that he's leaving politics.
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.
01:00:47.160
Basically, he's doing some sort of Trump derangement tour, which seems about right.
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.
01:01:22.640
You would think somebody would have used their voice when they were actually in politics rather
01:01:40.000
Like, I would say this as a jokey joke, but Charlie is serious.
01:01:54.420
That should be our daily dose of cringe if we pull up a video of Charlie Angus's punk rock
01:02:03.100
I wonder if his hair is the same, just less gray.
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.
01:02:22.420
Anyway, for anybody who wants a daily dose of cringe, just look that up because we did have
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.
01:02:41.160
Sometimes leases end up on her just on a tirade.
01:02:55.260
It's worth drawing attention to the fact that in a world of unpaid internships out there
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.
01:03:42.480
I don't think there's any volume, which is probably for the best.
01:03:58.680
Just think he went from this to NDP to all of a sudden being on an elbows up tour.
01:04:09.360
I just learned more about Charlie Angus than I ever wanted to learn.
01:04:17.780
Let's, we do have an action, the actual Daily Dose of Cringe.
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,
01:04:37.700
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
01:05:16.500
Well, I'm saying that they are, they are American.
01:05:39.220
And she tries to just, well, I didn't call for a boycott.
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.
01:05:56.020
70% of the products, John Moore said this morning, are Canadian.
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?
01:06:21.240
Maybe scale it back so it is not 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
01:06:43.880
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.
01:06:56.320
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
01:07:09.680
The CBC frames it as though it's this backlash against diversity, equity, inclusion in the
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
01:07:37.720
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.
01:07:50.560
Like, they'll hand out more than $2.5 million to festival organizers in 2025.
01:08:01.040
Like, you're struggling to pay for your house in Toronto.
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.
01:08:16.460
Oh, to the people who dance naked in front of little children for an entire season?
01:08:23.600
I await the Ben Benkis voiceover of this catastrophe.
01:08:34.200
And stay tuned because there will be more Daily Doses of Cringe featuring Mayor Olivia Chow at
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.
01:09:15.520
Glad I could pop in, see you on Saturday, Sheila.
01:09:19.680
So anybody else who's still waiting to get their tickets for...
01:09:26.380
Get your tickets for Saturday in Red Deer, Alberta.
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
01:09:49.940
Tamara Leach and Chris, heroes of the Freedom Convoy, will be there the full day.
01:09:57.860
I was just going to say the reasons just keep getting better and better.
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.
01:10:15.380
And we will see you back here, same time and place, tomorrow, 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern.
